The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has been issued a Certificate of Compliance for an outline Business Case (OBC) for the operation of the Modular Floating Dockyard it acquired.
The certificate of compliance was issued by the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC).
Acting Director General of the commission, Mr. Michael Ohiani, led the team of ICRC officers to the NIMASA headquarters in Lagos to present the certificate.
Ohiani said the Agency's outline business case for the Modular Floating Dockyard's management contract to be operated, maintained, and transferred under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement was in compliance with the ICRC Act 2005 and the National Policy on Public Private Partnership.
Speaking while receiving the Certificate of Compliance, Director General of NIMASA, Dr. Bashir Jamoh, said the Modular Floating Dockyard was a national asset.
Dr. Jakob assured that the Agency was committed to the careful deployment of the dry dock in line with relevant regulatory instruments to ensure wealth creation, job creation, and revenue generation for the Federal Government.
He also said issues, such as security, accessibility, and existing complimentary infrastructure on ground, were considered in the development of a business case for the dockyard, which will be managed on a PPP basis with NIMASA and the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), on the one hand, and a management company, on the other. ICRC would closely monitor the entire implementation process to ensure equity, fairness, and profitability for the Federal Government.
Dr. Jamoh stated, "It is one thing to have the Modular Dockyard, and another for it to enjoy patronage and be a profitable venture for government. So many funds have been invested in the project and it cannot serve just as a workshop for an institution of learning, as being inferred in some quarters.
"Detailed investigation has also confirmed that the dockyard cannot berth at an area earlier proposed for it. We got approval from our supervising ministry to deploy the asset on a PPP basis and we are working in conjunction with the Nigerian Ports Authority. Our arrangement to utilise facilities at the Continental Shipyard in Apapa is still very much on course."
The Director General stated that the seeming delay in the deployment of the Floating Dockyard was due basically to the fact that attention was being paid to details to ensure due diligence, compliance with due process and the eventual durability of the project when it becomes operational.
"The floating dockyard is a national asset and we consulted the ICRC, which is the regulatory agency of government, to review the process of deployment to confirm that it is a worthwhile investment on a PPP arrangement, and today they have confirmed to us that we are on the right path," Jamoh added.
Ohiani also described the Floating Dockyard as a profitable investment by government. He, however, noted that only deployment based on due diligence and effective implementation of the approved business case would ensure the durability of the project.
He stated, "The project is bankable and sustainable. The Nigerian government will get value for money in the project. The next step is to get the best concessioner to provide the services and a full business case will be prepared and taken to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for approval.
"ICRC will continue to manage the process and we hope to conclude the entire process before the end of the year. We will also ensure that the concessioner does not charge arbitrary fees when it becomes operational. It is a total package we are delivering to Nigerians and we seek their understanding and patience."

Losing a loved one is life's greatest difficulty. Few know how to navigate the process of making arrangements, filing paperwork and all of the other things that need to be taken care of. We bring you a guide to help navigate the process. Note that much of the work can be planned well in advance, as part of any normal estate planning activity.
Family and friends. Ask family members for help with notifying other relatives, friends and business associates.
Religious contacts. Speak with your loved one's place of worship about conducting the funeral service.
Employer. If your loved one was employed, contact the human resources department and inquire about final paychecks, sick time and benefits.
Organized member groups. Contact organizations your loved one was a member of, such as alumni associations and professional or social groups.
Here are ten common tasks that need to be completed after notifying all necessary parties.
Social Security. The funeral home will generally assist a surviving spouse or, in some cases, a child in applying for Social Security's $255 death benefit. Social Security also needs notification to discontinue any benefits the deceased may have been receiving. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov for more information.
Veteran's Administration. If your loved one was a veteran, visit www.va.gov/opa/persona to learn about burial and memorial benefits.
Life Insurance. You'll need to determine whether your loved one owned any insurance policies. Contact the agent or the home office of the insurance company to file a claim. One method to determine if any policies may exist is to check bank records for any life insurance premiums paid in the last year or so.
A well-known and important rule to follow is to postpone any major decisions until at least a year has passed since your loved one's death. After a year, you'll have a clearer state of mind when making important choices about your life, your residence and your finances.

If you follow makeup trends, you've no doubt seen our current cultural penchant for heavy bronzer and not much blush. This fad can look stunning on a young woman, but on someone over the age of about forty, it can look weird. For example, as we age, our face tends to become thinner and have less color. Bronzer is meant to create the image of deeper cheekbones but on an already thin face, it can make you look gaunt. If you apply bronzer without adding some color on the apple of your cheek, then your face will look thin and drained! If this isn't the effect you are going for, then I suggest some simple techniques that will properly frame your face and add a punch of color.
Bronzer should be the color of your breastbone or about one to two shades darker than your skin. Using a brush, softly blend product on the rim of your face and under your cheekbone, pulling it to about two fingers from your nose. Be careful to not create a harsh line with the contour because as we age, softer lines and gentle blending is generally more flattering. If you don't have bangs like I do, apply some bronzer on the highest points of your forehead, as this softens the face and creates a frame for the rest of your makeup. Lastly, I usually put some bronzer just under my chin, as the skin there doesn't get any sunshine and is lighter than the rest of my face.
After bronzer, grab your favorite blush that is in the same color family as your lipstick. For example, if you are going to wear a peachy lipstick, then use a warm blusher like coppertone or, my personal favorite, Modern Mandarin. If your lipstick is rosey, then go for a pop of pink on your cheekbones like Fleur Power by MAC. Using a blush brush or your fingers if using a creme blush, add the color to the apple ofyour cheekbones, not all along the cheekbone. At times, I see women apply blusher as if they were rubbing spices on a steak! Think of blush as if you just worked out and the color that floods your cheeks when you finish. That is where you add blusher! Lastly, put a dsh of blush on your orbital eyebrow bone, chin, and forehead to warm up your entire face.
In my next video, I will show how to keep on your lipstick using simple tricks of the trade.

While in the past the Government of Eritrea stated that it was committed to a market economy and privatization, the government and the ruling PFDJ party maintain complete control of the economy. The government has imposed an arbitrary and complex set of regulatory requirements that discourage investment from both foreign and domestic sources, and it often reclaims successful private enterprises and property.
The port in Massawa has been rehabilitated and is being developed. In addition, the government has begun to export fish and sea cucumbers from the Red Sea to markets in Europe and Asia on a limited basis. A newly constructed airport in Massawa capable of handling jets could facilitate the export of high-value perishable seafood.
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), post-border war recovery was impaired by four consecutive years of recurrent drought that
have reduced the already low domestic food production capacity. The government reports that harvests have improved but provides no data to support
these claims. Eritrea currently suffers from large structural fiscal deficits caused by high levels of spending on defense, which have resulted in
the stock of debt rising to unsustainable levels. Exports have collapsed due to strict controls on foreign currencies and trade, as well as a closed
border with Ethiopia, which was the major trading partner for Eritrea prior to the war. In 2006, Eritrea normalized relations with Sudan and is
beginning to open the border to trade between the two countries. Large and persistent transfers from Eritreans living abroad offer significant
support to the economy.
Your comments
I would not anybody at moment to try to invest in over you will lose your money.
We aren't doing bad but with pressure coming from USA about sactions on us.
Please don't give bad impression of the country!
In the mineral business, Eritrea is doing really well. The potential to find more deposits is certainly great.� In connection with Eritrea�s becoming a center of mining industry in the Arabian-Nubian Shield. that Eritrea has already established itself in that position. �The conditions
canada, china and the UN are definately going for africa's resources
don't sell yourself cheap! do not let them exploit you/privatize. "land grabbing" is done in other parts of Africa by JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs.
They predict rising food prices and want to profit from that.Will Africa profit?
germany got also very corrupted by capitalism. but there are still good engineers and honest hearted people around that truly want to make the world a better place.
it would really be the best that you learn from other cultures and do at least 51% yourself.
you could also export solar-power!

Politics of Eritrea takes place in a framework of a single-party presidential republic, whereby the Eritrean President of State is both head of state and head of government and a single-party state, led by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice. The National Assembly of 150 seats, formed in 1993 shortly after independence, elected the current president, Isaias Afewerki
Independent local sources of political information on Eritrean domestic politics are scarce; in September 2001 the government closed down all of the nation's privately owned print media, and outspoken critics of the government have been arrested and held without trial, according to domestic and international observers, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. In 2004 the U.S. State Department declared Eritrea a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) for its alleged record of religious persecution.
At independence, the government faced formidable challenges. Beginning with a nascent judicial system, and an education system in shambles, it has attempted to build the institutions of government from scratch, with varying success. Since then, the impact of the border war with Ethiopia, and continued army mobilisation, has contributed to the lack of a skilled workforce. The present government includes legislative, executive, and judicial bodies.
What do you think about Eritrea political situation?
Your comments
We are living in jail. Everyone want leave this Country. We got a ditactor leader who believes that this his Kingdom

If you're among the many South Australians who own or breed dogs or cats, the new dog and cat management laws set to be introduced into South Australia on 1 July 2018 will affect you. These changes, which include new requirements for microchipping and desexing, will now be compulsory.
The changes to the law are designed to increase the likelihood of lost or impounded dogs and cats being reunited with their owners, and reduce the number of unwanted and abandoned litters euthanised in pounds and shelters.
For Owners
• All dogs and cats must now be microchipped before they are sold or in any event by three months of age;
• All dogs and cats born after 1 July 2018 must be desexed before 6 months of age (Exemptions apply for working dogs, registered breeders)
A new website, Dogs and Cats Online (DACO), will be implemented in South Australia to manage dog, cat and breeder registration.
The desexing regulations do not apply in relation to an animal welfare organisation, a dog or cat that belongs to a person registered as a breeder, or a dog or cat that is not usually kept within the State.
For Breeders and Sellers
• Any party who breeds dogs and/or cats for sale must now be registered with the Dog and Cat Management Board (DCMB) as a breeder; and
• The laws and regulations now stipulate that breeder, microchipping, desexing and vaccination information must be included in all advertisements for the sale of a dog or cat.
From 1 July, failing to desex and microchip dogs and cats in accordance with the laws and regulations will be considered an offence, with fines ranging from $2500 to $5000.
Discount Microchipping
While the new desexing requirement only affects dogs and cats born after 1 July 2018, all dogs and cats must be microchipped by this date.
Microchipping is a safe and permanent way to identify your dog and cat. The procedure is quick, with no ongoing discomfort and can only be carried out by a trained, authorised implanter. Discount microchipping days are offered throughout the state at various times of the year. Visit chipblitz.com for more details.
New fines and expiations
From 1 July 2017, many fines and expiations for irresponsible dog and cat owners will increase.
These tougher penalties, along with increased council powers to investigate and prosecute offenses, including the ability to seize evidence and compel owners to give their name and address, will help address the problem of dog attacks, and remind owners of their legal responsibilities.
What follows is an example of how the new penalties compare to the old fine structure. Additional fines will take effect in mid 2018 when rules regarding microchipping, breeder registration and desexing begin.
Penalties – Old V New:
Allowing a dog to harass, attack or chase another person or animal:
• Old expiation: $210
• New expiation: $315 ($750 for prescribed breeds)
• Old maximum penalty: $2500
• New maximum penalty: $2500 ($5000 for prescribed breeds)
Dog wandering at large
• Old expiation: $80 ($210 prescribed breeds)
• New expiation: $210 ($750 prescribed breeds)
• Old maximum penalty: $250 ($2500 prescribed breeds)
• New maximum penalty: $2500 ($5000 prescribed breeds)
Excessive dog barking
• Old Expiation: $105
• New expiation: $315
• Old maximum penalty: $750
• New maximum penalty: $1250
Failure to register your dog
• Old expiation: $80 ($210 prescribed breeds)
• New expiation: $170 ($750 prescribed breeds)
• Old maximum penalty: $250 ($2500 prescribed breeds)
• New maximum penalty: $2500 ($5000 prescribed breeds)
Transporting unrestrained dogs on the tray of vehicles (exemptions apply)
• Old expiation: $105
• New expiation: $210
• Old maximum penalty: $750
• New maximum penalty: $1250

Background millimeter radiation influence in cardiology on patients with metabolic and pre-metabolic syndrome 下载免费PDF全文
Simone Caramel Stagnaro Sergio Pyatakovich Felix A. Yakunchenko T.I. Makkonen K.F. Moryleva O.N. 《红外与毫米波学报》2014,33(1):1-18
The effects of background millimeter radiations (BMR) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension and in subjects with Inherited real risk of CAD, were investigated through invariant statistic measures, typical of nonlinear dynamics analysis of biological systems. The experimental evidences show that BMR ameliorate the nonlinear complexity in biosystems, recognized sign of physiological behavior, by increasing both the rate of unpredictability of heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with metabolic syndrome and the fractal dimension of coronary microvessel oscillations in subjects with pre-metabolic syndrome, healing their genetic alteration and CAD Inherited real risk. 相似文献

Never use abrasives chemicals or products to clean your jewelry. Any alcohol based products can tarnish gold and silver plating irreperably. We recommend using TownTalk Anti Tarnish Silver Polishing cloth.
After each wear, rinse your jewelry with water and gently wipe each piece clean of make up and skin oils with a polishing or cotton cloth.
Humidity is the enemy. Seal and store your pieces in a ziplock after cleaning it (never keep your jewelry in the bathroom).
Store jewelry away from sunlight. The sun may fade some gemstones.
Always store jewelry separately so it doesn't scratch other jewelry or get tangled.
Love your jewelry - the more you wear, the less it oxidise.
Keep it clean and enjoy!

A restaurant owner may work with a Singapore product photographer when it comes time to create a menu for their restaurant. A couple of pictures on the menu of several of the foods they provide can make their possible restaurants hungrier. This comes in particularly helpful when it pertains to providing appetisers for patrons to treat on prior to the actual meal is brought out. It could work with the products that you are offering, as well. It is about making a person wish to have what you are providing.
A Singapore item photographer could picture anything that you require images of. They can take images of an item that is really little or they can take pictures of something the size of a vehicle. With their assistance, anything is feasible. All you need to do is offer them the product and a suggestion of just what type of picture you are hoping for. They will deal with the rest.
The web offers a Singapore product digital photographer much more chance to reveal their abilities, however mostly, they have constantly been around. They were taking images prior to there was a computer with internet accessibility and also everybody shopping from home. You simply may not have actually realized that they were there till the virtual age. Prior to the web, they were the people that photographed items for papers and publications. They were the ones that took amazing images of fallen leaves as well as falls. Why not give them a chance to show you exactly what they can do for your products?
A Singapore item photographer has the capacity to take photos of a selection of points. They could take pictures inside a dimly lit space or take imagines that are of people who are having a great time with each other. They could take pictures of an event where the people are not postured, yet they are natural. That is why a product professional photographer is perfect. They can do anything you need, whether you are a large business or a basic crafter who is trying to generate a few extra bucks.
Taking a close up of something you created is not constantly easy. It does not matter whether it is a blossom arrangement or a sofa that you take pride in currently possessing. It is difficult to get the illumination right then hold a constant hand for enough time to make the shot clear. For these sorts of images, when it matters the most, you could want to ask for assistance from a Singapore item professional photographer and also save on your own some headaches and wasted shots.
Among the biggest reasons a person could work with a product digital photographer is due to the devices they have access to. It is stuff that many of us do not have the cash to afford, much less the ability to utilize it if we did. The professional photographer has actually had years to practice taking that best shot and they understand how to make it to ensure that the illumination is perfect. This, along with an exercised constant hand, is extremely handy, especially when setting up the phase for a picture that may call for a mini shot.
To recognize what a product digital photographer does, you must think about something that you have actually seen an image of. It could be a journal short article that proved to an attractive blossom plan that made you want to acquire flowers from that floral designer or maybe a couch that you saw advertised someplace. The individual that caught that photo understood just what it would take to give the image new life. It's the same principle that you would utilize in the cyber globe if you had a jewelry store or any other type of store.
There are numerous reasons that a person might work with a specialist digital photographer. The factors for hiring a Singapore product digital photographer are not as many, yet they still can be found in helpful, specifically when it pertains to offering something on the web. If you have something that you wish to eliminate, you can explain it to excellence, however it will certainly still not be enough to capture the attention of a purchaser. You have to have a photo for that. It enables them to see exactly what they are acquiring prior to they receive it.

If you're speaking to two people, or to two groups of people, ask yourself: if I switch the subject and object of the sentence I'm about to utter, would the result be a horrifying gaffe?
For example, from the pulpit: "The Valentine's Sweetheart Dance will be held at 7:00 on February 10 at the Stake Center. Brethren, consider yourselves warned. Wives, you have my permission to beat up your husbands if they're not ready to go at the right hour."

Arby's Is Going to Serve Duck Sandwiches for One Day Only
Elmer Fudds of the world rejoice. Arby's -- fast food some people think you've been sleeping on -- has made a habit of trying out meats and sandwiches few chains are willing to give a go. Over the last couple of years, it has cooked up venison, elk, lamb, deep-fried turkey, porchetta, turkey legs, and pork belly.
You can add duck to that list. On Saturday, October 20, Arby's will introduce a one-day-only run of Seared Duck Breast Sandwiches at a handful of restaurants across the United States. Arby's said it selected the restaurants involved because they're close to "waterfowl migration flyways" and because of their "proximity to actual duck hunting locations." Each restaurant will have a limited number of sandwiches available, so you probably have to get there early on if you want to make sure you're finishing the lunch hour with a duck sandwich in your belly.
Like with other game meats Arby's has sold in limited runs, sourcing is a challenge. The duck for this run comes from Maple Leaf Farms, a family-owned farm with an eye on sustainability. It's seared and cooked Sous Vide before being topped with crispy onions and a smoked cherry sauce.
One restaurant in each of these cities will have the sandwiches available: Cambridge, Maryland; Summerville, South Carolina; Wyomissing, Pennsylvania; Atlanta, Georgia; Pearland, Texas; Kalispell, Montana; Great Bend, Kansas; Lincoln, Nebraska; Marshall, Missouri; Jonesboro, Arkansas; Lafayette, Louisiana; Onalaska, Wisconsin; Chico, California; Carson City, Nevada; Brigham, Utah; and Happy Valley, Washington.
Additionally, Arby's is partnering with Ducks Unlimited, a charity that works to conserve, restore, and manage wetlands and associated habitats for waterfowl across North America. The chain will make a donation to support the organization's work.

Kitchens are shifting away from the longtime classic white, and experts are welcoming a new color trend: black. Alyssa Clough, director of content and growth at Semihandmade, says that they've been seeing black cabinetry incorporated into new kitchens for a few reasons: The strong color choice helps to create a distinction between a kitchen and living area in an open-plan space without needing to put up any walls, and the black helps to create visual interest in a space that may not have stood out previously. We dug into why this is becoming so trendy in the world of design. Keep reading for more!
Why is Black Becoming So Popular?
According to Architectural Digest, it may have a little something to do with the way kitchens in New York City are being designed. AD interviewed Lauren Buxbaum Gordon of Nate Berkus Associates, and this was her take. "In my opinion, black symbolizes someone who is passionate about design and who isn't afraid to take risks. Aesthetically speaking, black tends to feel more sophisticated and formal depending on how it's styled, but for me, that versatility is what's most appealing. In my black kitchen, I mixed in rope chairs, crackled subway tiles, and old French pottery to take it down a notch." It's design to the nines and a super chic way to upgrade your home. Also, having black stand out in a neutral setting shows that there is a focal point in the room, now that open floor plans are becoming increasingly popular.
Black Goes With Everything
Black also goes with everything in design, as it does in real life! You can do black on black for a glossy finish. You can mix black and gold, black and copper! The possibilities are endless. Also, appliances and accessories tend to be silver or black, so it's quite easy to see how you can blend together with your necessities and designs for a dreamy combination. If you're not totally sold on the idea yet, you can try it out with small accessories. Try to find a chic black vase that you can incorporate into your counter space or dining table. You can also try some black plates or glasses to see if you want to commit to the trend later on, possibly when you're doing a renovation and are looking to change things up!
According to Hungeling Design, there are many ways to add black into your design. You also want to make sure that if you are renovating, that you try to not pick something that will become dated quickly. Unfortunately, these days, design trends tend to turn over fairly quickly. For her, using the same combination of crisp white, black, and wood tones, looks totally on trend. To top it off, these interior design elements are totally classic.
We hope that we've somewhat inspired you to seek the dining space of your dreams. What will you do in your new kitchen?

(Editor's note: This is the third installment of a weekly series where Cincy Jungle's own Anthony Cosenza will answer emails and "tweets" sent to him, talk about Bengals topics of the week, and/or respond to our reader's comments that were posted on the site over the course of the week. This post will likely morph in its layout and content over the next few weeks, so we are excited to see where it takes us and you -- the readers. This is meant to be a more interactive article involving our readers, so feel free to email Anthony any topics and/or questions that you'd like to see kicked around on this feature at firstname.lastname@example.com, or send him a "tweet" @CUIBengalsFan.)
Well, the exciting and somewhat unexpected 2011 season for the Cincinnati Bengals has culminated in a Wild Card berth where they'll face off against the Houston Texans for the second time this season. With the variety of articles and opinions that were posted this week on Cincy Jungle, it made this week's mailbag feature pretty easy to sound off.
With the Bengals making the playoffs, many are wondering what the chances of them making a run is this year. Recently, our own Jason Garrison published an article in which he debated Josh Kirkendall (thanks a lot for the invite, fellas) about the Bengals chances this season as opposed to the other playoff seasons in the Marvin Lewis era. Jason maintains the opinion that 2011 is their best shot that the team has had to get their first playoff win in two decades. Josh maintains that 2005 was the best shot that the team has had to make some postseason noise. I see both sides of the argument here.
We Bengals fans seem to hold a special reverence for the 2005 playoff squad--and with good reason. They were an exciting, young group that exploded onto the NFL season that year. They could move the ball at will, with a dominant offensive line, an elite quarterback, a bevy of receiving talent and a pounding running attack. On defense, they were opportunistic, but still lacked any semblance of consistency. While I think that the Bengals could have beat the Steelers that day, it's not a forgone conclusion that that was their most winnable playoff game in the Marvin Lewis era.
There are reasons that make me doubt that the Bengals could have hung on for the win, even with a healthy Carson Palmer. For instance, the Bengals defense was ranked 22nd in points allowed and 28th in yards allowed in 2005. Does anyone remember the safeties that year? That would be Kevin Kaesviharn and Ifeanyi Ohalete. Yikes. Furthermore, the two teams had split the regular season series that season. The Bengals victory came on the heels of three Ben Roethlisberger interceptions. It's unlikely that he would have had that type of game again.
We also know the makeup of the character of this team. We've heard about the meltdown at halftime with Chad Ochocinco and the coaching staff. And, since this game, we also have seen the true colors of players like Ochocinco, Palmer and the troubled Chris Henry (RIP). This was a talented but mentally soft team. Lastly, the two teams entered the playoffs on two completely different notes--the Steelers had won four straight (and four more in the playoffs for a total of eight consecutive wins) and the Bengals had lost two straight. Still, there's no doubt that the outcome of this game would have been different had Palmer not been injured. To what extent we'll never be sure, but we just have to learn to let this game's outcome go at some point.
Now here the Bengals are, backing into the playoffs as some are claiming. So, with Jason's and Josh's argument, my take is this: this 2011 playoff game is the most winnable in terms of the team they faced, but the 2011 Bengals are not the most talented team amongst their playoff predecessors. That makes this game really hard to predict. The Texans come in limping, but the Bengals come in as a team that hasn't played great football over the past eight weeks. I guess the better question is: "which team is happy with just making the playoffs?", and that answer will point you to the victor.
Regarding the possibility of Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden being the "favorite" for the Jacksonville head coaching job, you all weighed in with a similar response. First of all, I have to give props to commenter "shibacle" once again, as he nailed a great Monday Night Football take of Jon Gruden:
[Chucky voice]
"I gotta tell ya Jaws, I really like this guy Jay Gruden. I spent all week watching VHS tapes in a Motel 6 while blasted on Johnny Walker, and this guy, Jaws, this guy can flat out coordinate an offense. If I'm making a list of coaches this spring, this guy's on it. His playbook is just out of this world. This guy Gruden…he really brings the wood, Jaws."
Hilarious. But, on a more serious note, commenter "eric nyc" nailed it with his take on the Jay Gruden situation. He and I share the same thoughts on Gruden being a supposed leading candidate for the Jaguars head coaching gig:
I've got to be honest...
I'm not as enamored with Jay Gruden as a lot of people. You can credit him for not putting too much on Dalton's plate too soon, but ultimately his game plans have been very vanilla – again, in part to protect Dalton, but it is what it is. And just like Dalton, his offense would have had almost no success if it wasn't for the All Universe performance of AJ. And even with that, it still ended up being an offense ranked 20th in the league and just abysmal in the red zone.
I don't entirely blame Gruden for this. I think a lot of it is Marvin dictating scheme ("You are going to run on first down. Every. Single. Time.") and the whole rookie thing and the lockout thing and yadda yadda yadda. But I dont' think Gruden came in here and performed any miracles. AJ was the one doing that. We were all SO sick fo Bratkowski and Carson and Chad that when we got rid of all three of them at once and started seeing some wins go up on the board, we started nominating them all for sainthood right away. Dalton has been "successful" because he's REALLY smart. Nothing about Gruden's offense has been that complicated. I would imagine if we had to replace him next year, we would find an OC who runs a similar system and part of the job description would be "Your'e not dismantling the playbook that we've already installed. That's your foundation."
But i agree, the idea of anyone hiring Gruden as a HC after one mildly successful season as a coordinator is silly.
People are pointing to Gruden's stint as G.M./Head coach in the UFL and the championships he won there, but I still don't think that that experience, coupled with only one year of true NFL coordinating experience makes him an ideal NFL head coaching candidate. In my humble opinion, the Bengals offense haven't been world-beaters this season. He's done pretty well with a rookie quarterback and wide receiver, but there's still a lot of conservativeness in the play calling, as well as inconsistency in terms of performance. If I were an NFL team looking for a coach I'd want to see more on an NFL resume than what Gruden has. Then again, guys like Mike Tomlin and Raheem Morris have been given head coaching gigs with very little, if any NFL coordinating experience. Stranger things have happened.
I guess I'm curious why the young NFL Coordinators are such hot commodities for head coaching jobs in the NFL these days. I'd look at Jeff Fisher as a number one priority if I were searching for a head coach and then maybe to an Eric Mangini. Every team seems to be searching for the next Sean Payton, but they seem to forget that the road that Payton has led is paved with the dead careers Josh McDaniels, Todd Haley , Steve Spagnuolo and the like.
Lastly, we couldn't have one of these mailbags without a mention of Mike Brown. Our own Dave Wellman, (AKA "BeerRun") gave out his final report card on Bengals owner Mike Brown for the 2011 season. There were a lot of varying opinions from you all on this subject, and one in particular caught my eye. From commenter "Animal Like Football":
Let me be a little more specific.
I feel like you are overreacting to my comments which I was making sort of tongue-in-cheek, so let me at least explain why I'm not that excited about Brown's year before you lump me in the "some people" category.
It doesn't seem right to me to ignore the first half of the year, which featured a trainwreck of key players leaving the organization (which most would attribute directly to Mike Brown) and then turn around and give him an "A" for decisions that most of us don't even think he was making. I gave him a "C" when I voted. I think that's fair.
I'd give Marvin Lewis an "A." Zim an "A." Gruden an "A" Heck, I'd give the entire team an "A" on the year for pulling out a brilliant season despite the hurdles that they had to clear. Yes, Mike Brown has made some good moves this year, but he also put the team in a really bad position to start the season. That's not "A" work in my book.
This was a response to a back-and-forth with another CJ commenter, but I think you get the gist. Yes, Mike Brown deserves credit for trading Carson Palmer, dumping "T.Ochocinco" and hitting on the first two picks in the draft. But, something tells me that that was more of an effect of his staff putting pressure on him to make these decisions. He was steadfast on not wanting to trade Palmer until a bombshell of a trade fell into his lap. If it became public knowledge that Brown had declined this type of trade for one of his disgruntled players twice in four years (Chad in 2008, Carson in 2011), a full-blown mutiny from the fans would have ensued and I don't think the Bengals would be in the playoffs as they are right now.
Regardless, Brown, Marvin Lewis and company deserve a lot of credit for molding this staff and roster to what it is today, as well as making changes to the medical staff. I can't give Brown a standing ovation quite yet, though, as he has yet to put a team on the field that can consistently beat the AFC powerhouses (Baltimore, Pittsburgh), nor has he fielded a team that has one a playoff game or made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. Part of me wonders if this surprisingly exciting season of 2011 has a bittersweet element to it.
It could mean one of two things. First, Brown gave more power to Lewis et al in the organization and it's with that that we're seeing a productive season. He sees this and is actually turning a corner where we'll see an indoor practice facility and an ample replacement(s) for Jim Lippincott. With a few more successful drafts, this could be a budding dynasty. Or, with this "success" this season, it means we'll see more of the same in the way that Brown operates and he concludes that "his way" still works. Maybe the power he supposedly gave Lewis was merely a charade and we'll just see more "flash in the pan" seasons. I hope for the former and not the latter, but only time will tell.

Interesting mixes have been accumulating on my hard drive incessantly, now is the time to share some of them with my readers. I highly recommend checking all of them - they are creme de la creme, the best part, and just a small fraction of what I listen to daily :)) Most of the tracklist at the bottom of the stage "after the jump".
Let's start from some serious mind-boggling beatz served by Project Mooncircle in their Neumond (New Moon) podcast - Episode 2. Project Mooncircle is one of the best, most eclectic, versatile, open-minded labels out there, their podcasts are quality, as a rule! This episode gives you an insight of upcoming or latest releases and is crowned by interviews with Robot Koch, Dday One & Jinna Morocha. The show includes new exclusive tunes of fLako, Daisuke Tanabe, Ichiro_, Pavel Dovgal, Pixelord (Error Broadcast), Comfort Fit, Robot Robinson, Ital Tek, Graciela Maria, Killing Skills, Sense Of The Q4, Sotu The Traveller, Kan Sano, Glen Porter, DZA, John Robinson and the Finest Ego + Cosmopolyphonic compilation etc.
RAID SYSTEM (aka RIRS) FOR RHYTHM INCURSIONS - NOVEMBER 2010
XLII and Broken Haze aka Raid System with November's show for Rhythm Incursions. As usual - super eclectic selection of heavy-bass, funky & stomping beats covering very broad range of music from e.g. Siriusmo or Bomb Zombies through Lazer Sword, Sub Swara, Kraddy to Halp (Leek is a f...g monster of the tune!!!), Skrillex, Terror Danjah, Powel, Girl Unit and BD1982. I would definitely want to see them performing live and driving the the crowd mad. They know how to do it.
Pressha from Seattle delivers a mix for Simplify Recordings which is full of smashing tunes by the hottest midtempo / glitch hop producers, incl. Samples, Marty Paryt, Mimosa, Knight Riderz, Mattb and tons of Love & Light tracks. For me, personally the absolute highlight of this mix (as well as Acid Crunk vol. 3 comp) is Dirty Money - by An-Ten-Nae f. Soom T. What a beautiful riddim!!!!! Pressha has a unique gift of mixing quite a hard stuff into super funky, ass-shaking ride skilfully balancing hard stomp vs. softer touch. IMHO his best mix up-to-date. Highly recommended for any fan of modern heavy bass music!!!
More midtempo bonanza in a mix by Psymbionic, who apart from being a producer and DJ, co-runs a very successful blog. Bwom Beats crew writes about the 2nd installment in their mix series: "This is a juicy mixtape that is 1/3 purple crunk lovestep, 1/3 glitch hop, and 1/3 dubstep by our own Psymbionic. What starts off slow and sexy soon drops you into a heavy boomer of a mix that will make you swoon and/or grab your nuts. John has been honing his style and styling his sounds since coming onboard and has definitely dialed in a good one so far. The mix has a lot of primo stuff from a lot of upcoming producers, so check this one out." Agree 100%. Don't sleep on this mix peeps.
Look out for upcoming remixes by Psymbionic for Ben Samples (Daly City Records) and Mindelixer (Abstract Logic Recordings). Tour dates can be found at http://psymbionicmusic.com/
BEN SAMPLES - DBS 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SET FOR SUB-SYNTHESIS (mediafire)
Samples live at the DBS 3 Year by bensamples
Glitch hop / dubstep gonzo - Ben Samples in a special live set at the 3 Year Anniversary of Denver Bass Squad. You know what's the score :) Liquid, heavy, distorted bass, tons of sick synths, and serious head-nodding bizniz! A MUST! The mix was exclusively featured on a new blog covering similar music niche as yours truly's blog. Go check Sub-synthesis to mine for some midtempo, lazer, crunky goodies.
Glitch-Hop.pl Podcast #02 by Niño by Mash Machine
Beats, beats and more mutant beats in a second podcast for glitch-hop.pl site by Nino, hailing from Barcelona, Spain. Shlohmo, Swede:Art, Robot Koch, Mweslee, HudMo or sick remix by Slugabed of Melkeveien vs. Niño's tune Yo!. What else can you wish from a good mix :) Highly recommended by Doktor Krank.
Aural Frequencies - 2010 Digital Mixtape by Carly-D
And now something slightly different. Change of tempo and heavier slabs of sub-bass in straight-in-yer-face mix by the champion of dubstep sound, DJ and Producer, Miss Carly-D from Oakland, USofA.
This is a set that was recorded live at GruntWorthy Wednesdays on November 17th 2010. It's about 50% Dubstep, 40% West Coast Purple Future Bass, 10% Drumstep. 100% Sexy. Sit back, relax, & enjoy the aural frequencies. :) Features tracks by Carly-D, Dr.Knobz, Doug Surreal, DCarls, Stephan Jacobs, +Verb, Sugarpill, Samples, Subscape, Phear Phace, Kill Paris, Shredexx, Brent Still LIfe, Kito & Vaccine, Rob Sparx, Skism, Doctor P, Nit Grit, NastyNasty, Gangwarz, Obsidian, Ruckus & Roke, JMagic & Wickaman, Stylust Beats, ChrisB, Ceeker, Pendulum, Rob Swire, Bassnectar, Willy Whompa, & Alexandre.
La, la, la, la la funky la la la la. Soft, warm, melting soul electronica from Souelance, i.e. a combo of French producers Soulist and Fulgeance. Vintage sound from vintage mix series. Each and every La Mixette is booooming and unique. Apart from downloading this fresh mixtape, I highly recommend checking La Mixette back catalog on Musique Large. TIP!
I hope you managed to get to this point of my post, where I will present the last mix for today. BARTEL's music has been described as haunting, yet melodic; down-tempo, yet driving. Swelling ambient soundscapes meet with deep glitch cuts,while a dub sensibility keeps it all sounding like a distant memory. More to the the point, the Bartel aesthetic explores the intersection between ultra-modern synthesis, location recording, and experimental sound design; encouraging an approach to song writing which is both technical and cinematic. Bartel has presented their work in a live setting all over North America
Bartel did a promo mix to promote a forthcoming show with Babe Rainbow (WARP) and Vincent Parker from Canada. The mix features such artists as Fulgeance (in a great Hueas remix), Vincet Parker (great remix by homies from Australia - Blunt Instruments, Babe Rainbow, Acidwolf, Raime, and Bartel himself. Great synth-driven electronic trip, worth your time and ears.

OnePlus' new Digital WellPaper app turns your app usage into one of three live wallpapers on Android. Apps are simplified into six categories — social, lifestyle and communication, entertainment, gaming, information and business, and tools — which translate to six colors within each wallpaper that become more or less prominent as you use the apps.
Both iOS and Android already have the ability to track app usage at a system level, but generally you have to go into a dedicated menu to actually see the information. The advantage with Digital WellPaper is that it puts this usage information — albeit in an abstract form — front and center, so you're aware of it every time you look at your home or lock screen. OnePlus says it hopes this will help Android users "visualize and better understand their day-to-day digital habits."
Google has experimented with similar initiatives in the past. In 2019 it released a series of experimental Digital Wellbeing apps in the Play Store, including Unlock Clock, a live wallpaper that shows a tally of how many times you've unlocked your phone that day.
OnePlus says the new app, which was "curated" by its internal experimental software team OneLab, should work without consuming too much of your phone's battery. It's just generating a new image once when you unlock your phone, rather than constantly updating in the background. More details on individual app usage can be found within the Digital WellPaper app.
Digital WellPaper is now available from the Google Play Store, and works on devices running Android 7.0 and above.

This Kale Apple Carrot Salad with Apple Cider Vinegar Honey Dressing is super simple to make and kid friendly. It is a tasty way to help your family enjoy raw veggies and receive the benefits of raw apple cider vinegar.
One of the eating principles I try to follow as often as possible is to serve a raw and cooked veggie at dinner every night. I'm not saying I'm perfect at this, but I try. The cooked veggies are usually just simple roasted veggies or incorporated into the main dish like tomato sauce in my Simple & Sweet Marinara or peppers in my Vegetarian Rice & Bean Casserole.
When it comes to the raw veggie part, I struggle with creativity and usually just make a salad consisting of lettuce, tomatoes, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Pretty boring.
Truthfully I need to try more exciting and tasty veggie options as some of the youngest members of Team Braddock are starting to voice their disapproval more often. (Jackson's line these days is "Mommy, this is not yummy.")
The ingredient I chose to experiment with is apple cider vinegar, which I'd like to eat/drink/consume more of this year but not so much in the drink-it-straight form. Apple cider vinegar is one of those mysterious, voo-doo health foods, at least to me. It's believed to help or fix almost any ailment but doesn't honestly have a lot of research to support those claims. Anytime I hear that kind of message, I'm skeptical, but in-and-of-itself it's a fine food with likely health benefits.
Health Benefits of Vinegar
I've been digging around the research to what is actually true about the powers of apple cider vinegar. There's only a few benefits of vinegar that are supported by science and a couple of scholarly hunches, but they are significant in my opinion. Here's a brief summary:
- Consuming vinegar right before a meal can help reduce blood sugar levels after a meal. That's pretty cool and could be really helpful for those living with diabetes, or at risk for diabetes. (Source)
- The benefit of vinegar may be due to it's ability slow stomach emptying, enable insulin secretion, and increase muscle usage of glucose. (Source)
- All vinegars seem to work as vasodilators. This means that they help open up your blood vessels which allows blood to flow more easily and in general keeps them healthy. It also may contribute to to improving the work of insulin. (Source)
- One of my "secrets" is to eat a salad with vinegar and olive oil dressing whenever I have a high fat meal, like pizza or burgers. Foods high in saturated fat can have a short-term negative impact on blood vessels, constricting them and potentially inviting damage. But hey, I love pizza once in a while so I try to counteract this with my salad and vinegar strategy to open up my blood vessels.
- Raw vinegars (meaning not pasteurized) may contain naturally occurring compounds created by the fermentation process, similar to what happens with kombucha. Conventional vinegars found in most stores are pasteurized, which certainly makes them safe and shelf stable, but it also removes these potentially beneficial compounds. Raw apple cider vinegar is usually an easy find at grocery stores, whereas it's difficult to find raw vinegar in other flavors.
So while there's not strong science to support that apple cider vinegar will keep me from ever getting sick again, these are good reasons why I would like to get more of it in my life. Anyone else interested?
Now back to how this all fits in with boring dinner salads… One night a couple of weeks ago, I had a light bulb moment while preparing dinner and realized that I could maybe get Team Braddock to eat a raw kale salad if I (1) cut everything up very small and (2) included apples and apple flavor (thus the vinegar) which everyone likes.
Good news, it worked! I am pleased to present you a salad that is:
Tips for Success
This a great recipe to practice your knife skills friends. If you don't already, you need (and I do mean NEED) a good, sharp knife and a nice wood cutting board. Don't be intimidated by a big, sharp knife. Once you get comfortable, it will make chopping so much easier. And a wood board helps your knife move more smoothly than other surfaces.
In this salad, chopping the kale into small ribbons, technically called chifonnade, helps to meld all the flavors together better and ensure no one will get a big, bitter bite of kale. This would not go over well with Team Braddock. To accomplish this, roll up the kale leaves and make narrow cuts.
I cut the apples into matchstick size pieces, or a julienne cut, but you could easily do cubes if you prefer. Slice the sides off of the apple in about ¼" size planks. Each side should yield about 2-3 planks, maybe more if it's a big apple. Then slice each plank into matchsticks.
You can use this apple technique above to also cut the carrots but I prefer this really cool julienne peeler to do the job. It makes quick work of carrots and I just LOVE kitchen tools and gadgets. =) (Sorry for the blurry pic. I'm a one-woman show and this one was tricky to stage and shoot in motion.)
Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing
I made a very simple dressing for this salad of raw apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, and salt and pepper. I poured it all in a little jar and gave it a good shake. You can keep the jar in the fridge for up to a week and just shake it up again before using. Pour the dressing over your salad and toss or gently massage it into the salad, my preferred method because it tenderizes the kale.Print
Kale, Apple & Carrot Salad
- Total Time: 11 minutes
- Yield: 5 -6 cups 1x
This Kale, Apple & Carrot Salad with Apple Cider Vinegar Honey Dressing is super simple to make and kid friendly. It is a tasty way to help your family enjoy raw veggies and receive the benefits of raw apple cider vinegar.
- 2 cups finely chopped raw kale (cut into fine ribbons)
- 2 sweet apples (julienned)
- 2 heaping cups carrots (juilienned)
- 3 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- Pinch of pepper (or to taste)
- In a mixing bowl, toss kale, apples and carrots together. Set aside.
- In a small jar pour vinegar, oil, honey and salt and pepper. Seal lid on the jar and shake vigorously to combine.
- Pour dressing on top of salad and either gently toss or massage into mixture with hands.
- Serve immediately.
If making salad ahead of time, do not combine with dressing until ready to serve.
- Prep Time: 11 minutes
- Category: Salad
The beauty of this salad is not only does it taste great, you can add all kinds of ingredients to suite your need. For instance, add cooked brown rice to create an all-in-one side dish. Or, mix in cooked, ground meet or grilled chicken strips for a full meal. If you'd like to keep it vegetarian, toss in drained and rinsed chickpeas or kidney beans. You can also make this just for 1-2 people by cutting the quantity of ingredients in half. There's a lot of flexibility with this recipe.
This Kale Apple Carrot Salad will certainly be appearing more on my weekly menus to help avoid the boring dinner salad crisis. I hope it will bring more variety, and smiles, to your table as well.

Have you ever felt like you needed something to feel better, but that thing was terrifying to you? I do, all the time. I'm terrified of getting top surgery. Not because I think I'll regret it, but because of all of the things that could happen. I'm a non binary 21 year old. I was blessed and cursed with a very femme face, and an ass to boot. (All the puns intended.)
My Life in Hell
It was 1987, the height of the AIDS epidemic, the US government turning its back on gay and bisexual men, the visible formation of ACT UP, and the coming out of an 18-year-old Catholic, suburban, queer kid with as many hormones as he had guilt.
What Took So Long
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, I wrote and published a lot of fiction. Well, "smut," actually — erotic fiction, although, truth be told, I prefer the term "smut." My smut appeared in Drummer, Malebox, and Folsom magazines (all of which I also edited for a time) and elsewhere.

Thankfully I made it home safely. I fully expected to be taken into custody when arriving in London. Because I have broken the law.
36 Years POZ and Counting
Way back in 1980 I was living in Pittsburgh, PA. One of the guys I went to high school with was living in Washington, DC and had been begging me for several years to move down there.

5 "Don'ts" When Showing a Home
There are many serious and learned articles and blog posts detailing the "5 Most Profitable Fixes" for selling your home or "Little Known Secrets of Staging a Home for Sale" and the like. Heck, I might have written posts like that myself.
Today, however, I wanted to talk about the lighter side of that subject. This is a "What Not To Do" if you are selling your house. The funny thing is…. I have encountered every one of these situations in my showing career!
Do not cover all of your windows in aluminum foil and drape red cloth over all of your lamps. This might work if you are selling a bordello- a single family home? Not so much.
If your roommates are creepy pedophile looking middle aged men who smoke like crazy– kick them out or make sure they leave whenever a buyer comes to see the home. Telling the buyer that the roommate in question is good with gardening and would like to stay after the close of escrow will NOT help your sale.
The detritus of your "personal relations" does not make you ,or your house, look "cool". Trust me. No one wants to see the underbelly of your personal life. The studded collar? The "how to" books? Put them away.
The smells of home cooking do not add to your home's value. It is a common idea that the scent of vanilla on a light bulb or baking cookies in the oven will make people feel good about your home. This does NOT extend to open Kim Chee bottles, cumin scented dishes or fried fish. I happen to love the smell of cooking garlic, but to some it just smells like skunk. This is not good, people, not good.
Your teenaged, goth/emo son needs to leave during showings and open house. Having him slouch in front of a computer while playing some horrifically loud and violent computer game is distracting. His grunts are off-putting and he needs to pull up his pants. Seriously. No one needs to see that.
Skeletons, whips and OuijaBoards are not good staging props. For that matter, neither is the hearse in the garage. One or two, ok- that's a personal quirk. All over the house in a variety of media, size and form? Creepy.
If you simply must follow the buyers around as they tour the home, put on a shirt.Some sellers feel that only they can properly show their home and they are almost always wrong. But, if you must show the home, please be fully clothed. The buyers will thank you. So will the Realtor.
Lastly- do not frolic in the bedroom 5 minutes before a scheduled open house or showing!! Freaked out buyers and Realtors do not always come back.
There you have it. A "Must Not" list for every home seller.

Height: 5-11
Weight: 220lbs
PROS: Very thick and powerful safety. Does a very good job of wrapping up and breaking down in the open field. Known for his high motor and passion during a game. Will come up and lay devastating hits on players. Fights for jump balls and catches well for a defensive back. Keeps his eyes on the quarterback and flows well with the plays.
CONS: Ran very slow at the NFL Combine and didn't test out very well overall. Had an assault charge in 2009 and also missed time in the 2008 season with an injury. More of a traditional strong, in the box type of safety at the NFL level and will struggle in coverage and doesn't posses much range. Looks more like a linebacker than a defensive back. Will get beat by tight ends and slot receivers in man coverage and doesn't turn and run very well.

I'm In A New Yorker State of Mind
I was in my local bookstore the other day leafing through the latest edition of The New Yorker. Of course I searched out the cartoons first. It got me to wondering though, how many cartoonists and illustrators who have participated in the Cartoonist Surveys have contributed to The New Yorker? I did a search and I came up with 32 out of the 282 of them. Below is a list of those cartoonist and illustrators in alphabetical order. The links bring you to their answers to the Cartoonist Surveys. If you come across any that I missed, please leave a comment so I can add them to the list.

The government of Burundi has officially rejected a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution to deploy police officers to the country.
The UNSC late last month via resolution 2303 agreed to send over 220 UN police to monitor the security and human rights situation in the east African country.
The government used their official twitter handle to announce their opposition to the position of the Security Council. ''Burundi: The Government rejects the provision of resolution 2303 in connection with the sending of a force on its territory,'' the tweet read.
#Burundi: Le Gouvernement rejette toute disposition de la résolution 2303 en rapport avec l'envoi d'une force quelconque sur son territoire.
— Burundi Government (@BurundiGov) August 2, 2016
President Nkurunziza's decision in April 2015 to seek a third term in office led to political unrest. He went on to win elections in July 2015 and was subsequently sworn in as president.
The European Union (EU) suspended financial support to the Nkurunziza led government in March asserting that the president had failed to do enough to resolve ongoing political and economic crisis.
Rebel groups have been trying to make the country ungovernable with tit-for-tat assassinations and running grenade and gun battles that have killed more than 450 people and forced over 250,000 to flee the country.
The latest assassination was of a former minister who is considered a close ally of Nkurunziza. Hafsa Mossi was murdered in the capital Bujumbura. The action led to widespread condemnation by the government and international bodies.

Look around any major metropolitan city and you see taxi cabs. What if marketers could actually use these taxi rides to sell their products to riders? Want a coupon for 20% off dinner tonight? How about a movie? Want to go there now?
VeriFone Media operates in thousands of cabs around the country. In New York City, the capability is in 6,800+ cabs – providing a large captive audience for viewing promotions, local programming, and products. With the capability of recognizing specific geographies and times of day, the advertising can be targeted to meet specific needs of the riders. (Or maybe just annoy the riders.)
Verifone also has a video advertising product that is used at gas pumps. This gives a one-on-one experience at the pumps, changeable by time of day, location, and promotion.
Group Activities and Discussion Questions:
- Ask students to consider the ads that are currently placed on taxi cabs in their city. What have they seen? Are these effective ads?
- Ask students to identify the different market segments who ride in taxis. What do these segments want from a taxi ride?
- Have students visit the VeriFone Web site to learn more about the strategy for the product. http://www.verifonemedia.com/vnet/taxi.aspx
- Also have students review the gas pump product – At the Pump – and discuss pros and cons.
- What are the limitations for these types of promotion?
- What are the benefits for these mediums?
- What are products that could use these types of promotion?
- How would they deploy these advertising media in an integrated marketing plan?

I'm always in the mood for this sleepy sort of pop song, this time from The Red Button. Principals, Mike Ruekberg and Seth Swirsky, have been writing and producing music in L.A. for more than a decade: composing soundtracks and writing songs for the likes of Al Green, respectively. The two met in 2004 when Seth was working on a solo record and discovered they had a mutual love for concise, melodic pop songs. So they began creating just that. Their album, She's About to Cross My Mind, reminds me of a mix between the woefully obscure song-crafting wizard Erik Voeks on his album, Sandbox, and seminal pop-rockers The Posies. Coincidentally, those last two artists were in heavy rotation on the college radio station (AM 960: The Student Underground Network) Sam, Clay, and I launched way back when: sharing the sharing v.1. The Red Button's retrospective melodies have me reminiscing like that today, the day after 3hive quietly celebrated our third year of existence. We hope to instigate more intensive festivities in the near future once our lives, mine in particular, settle down a bit. The proverbial dance card's been booked lately.
7 Replies to "The Red Button"
It's rare to hear this type of music these days. Call it "Beatlesque" if you like but it's as legitimate as the blues or any other genre and I'll always love this style. Best thing since the sweet sixties.
It's something that I feel was almost needed. Not to take away from the Peter Bjorn's or the Lonely Dear's, but there's some other stuff out there that deserves some attention, too.
Crisp, retro, and delightfully soothing, this group has a touch, musical or otherwise. Its 11 tracks of refreshing power pop with catchy lyrics and the kind of tunes you hum to in the car. She's About To Cross My Mind is my favorite, with I Could Get Used To You and Floating By rounding out my top 3. Hip, clever and The Beatles all over again. Great stuff.
i have to agree with the other comments, its a great beatlesque feel and i haven't stopped listening to it since i stumbled on it. there has been nothing like it since the rutles anthology, but my stumblins' are few and far between. buy it and enjoy it.
This record is full of rich vocals and dreamy, relaxing melodies. After listening to it three times in its entirety you realize that there is no predication behind asking for more. Each track flows almost seemingly in rhythm to the next making it one sophisticated musical display. Not self indulgent or distracting in any way, it takes the essence of what makes pop stand and seasons its own style and flavor in the areas you wouldn't expect. Songs like 'Can't Stop Thinking About Her' and 'She's Going Down' are examples of what you will find yourself humming in the elevator waiting for your floor. It carefully sends almost a tongue in cheek, wink wink perspective on love and relationsips in such a way where it's clear the artists know how we all come from the same place in dealing with fondness and affection.
She's About To Cross My Mind is the first bona fide hit album of 2007 and prepares one for the summer months without mercy. Precious and absorbing, whatever you interpret from these 11 songs will reach the same conclusion in the celebration of pure pop. Brave in literally immersing itself in its subject matter, its impulsive, sweet, genuine and most of all bursting with acute touches of lyrical heaven. "She's Going Down," "Can't Stop Thinking About Her," "Its No Secret," all my favorite tunes and all suited to guide you to a relaxing music session in the middle months of the calendar. Break down the classics you sing to yourself and those qualities are right around the corner in style and class with no overly extended jams or loud noises. Somehow combining definitive links to the 60s but proving to be a new map in the pop stratosphere, The Red Button has the awareness to convince us that even when we're always moving, there's still always time to sit down and think about your favorite loves.
It's mid-September and this record has been in my car since March. 'Nuff said.

"I still have many things to say to you but they would be too much for you to bear now.
However when the Spirit of truth comes he will lead you to the complete truth, since he will not be speaking of his own accord, but will say only what he has been told; and he will reveal to you the things to come." (John 16: 12-14)
- Spirit of truth
- Spirit and truth
- Spirit and revelation
- Spirit and memory
John 16: 12-14 is an incredible promise to a man whose purpose in life is to learn and share the truth. The Holy Spirit will be my teacher. He will teach me everything I need to know about Jesus.
How will the Spirit minister teaching to me? The word of God is the primary source. Apart from the word of God, the sacred liturgy of the Church especially the Eucharist is a key resource. I think it was St. Thomas Aquinas who said that he learned a great deal of his theology from the Mass. I feel the same way. The Holy Spirit will teach me everything that I need to know for my ministry in the Bible and the teachings of the Church about Jesus.
The Spirit will give me an insatiable appetite for truth and learning. I have great hunger to learn everything I can about Christ.
The Spirit will use selected books and biographies to teach me about Jesus. Below are some of my patron saints who have been taught about Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit:
- Augustine
- John Chrysostom
- Peter Canisius
- Louis de Monfort
- Josemaria
- Therese of Lisieux
- Stephen
- John Henry Newman

Veterans Day Weekend | Wednesday – Saturday, November 10-13, 2021
I can hardly believe that it's been over three years since I last set foot on the Esplanade in 2018! Back in 2019 Diane and I took the year off from visiting the North Rim so we could finally go see the Waterfalls of Havasu Canyon on the other side of the Grand Canyon, and then in 2020 we cancelled our planned trip due to the weather forecast and other things we needed to get done at home. I've been looking forward to getting back and was happy to finally return this extended Veterans Day weekend with Jerry. It felt great to be back on the Esplanade! The sky was clear and the high temperatures were in the 70's while the lows at night were very comfortable in the 40's. We even found some water in a couple shallow potholes. As usual, I'm not going to get into all the specific details of this trip, but I will share plenty of photos below. We found everything we were looking for and had a pretty great time, until we started climbing out of the canyon on Friday…15 Comments
