One of the distinct reading pleasures I have enjoyed for over four decades has been the work of Jim Harrison. I could always look forward to a new poetry collection, story or novel or essay every year. Now he is gone. A real son of Michigan and a great writer. His character Brown Dog never fails to make me laugh. He had just published a new collection of novellas a month ago and his wife of 55 years had passed on back in October of last year. Quite sad news for me. It appears he died at his writing desk a few days ago doing what he loved to do......

Jim Harrison RIP

Safety concerns have prompted the Fayette village council to change the flow of traffic to one-way in a portion of an alley.
A public hearing is scheduled at 7 p.m. July 6 to collect comments on the proposal.
Police chief Jason Simon worked with council's Safety Committee to request a zoning amendment to change traffic from west to east in the alley behind the south side of the business district. The change would affect only one block of the alley.
One-way traffic would begin at S. Fayette Street behind Keifer's Korner Video and proceed east to property located behind 106 E. Main St.
Traffic in the alley from the east is subject to limited visibility of pedestrians when entering S. Fayette Street.
Written comments will be accepted until 5 p.m. July 6. The zoning board will conduct the hearing at 7 p.m. in council chambers.

Our Top Five Favorite Mad Men Design Moments

Now that Don Draper finally nailed the ultimate account and Mad Men has disappeared into 1970 forever, I've been binge watching the whole thing all over again on Netflix. There were so many fantastic moments of graphic design, fashion design, even hair design (and some not-so-good ones, those '70s staches and sideburns were not doing the characters any favors). But most of all, I loved to watch Mad Men for the spot-on 1960s set design.
There are too many to count; with all that Eames, Saarinen and other mid-century icons lurking everywhere. Here are some of the highlights:
What does this guy need an office for? No actual business ever happened here, except for a fake phone call to Lee Gardner over at Lucky Strike weeks after Roger had lost the account.
1) The best moment to me was when Jane Sterling hired a decorator to redecorate Roger's office, the spot where he dictated that not-so-bestselling Sterling's Gold. A tulip table, a CJ Corona chair, op art and more iconic items in a black and white palette. I mean, check out that phone!
"A modern Chinoiserie breakfront, a Dunbar Japanese-influenced sofa, silk Dupioni drapes, Murano vases, and a classic Drexel end table." — Betty Draper's decorator
2) Betty redecorates the living room. Betty hires a decorator that gives her sharp Hollywood Regency style for her living room. Don walks in and moves a lamp around to make it perfect. Then Betty buys a very symbolic fainting couch that messes the whole look up. It's so appropriate because the poor woman is trapped in an era that squeezes her like a Victorian corset.
3) Betty goes to get analyzed. Has there ever been a sadder woman on a Barcelona daybed? And did analysts really call husbands to give them the rundown after the wife's appointment? That was crazy. Anyway, this image is fun to compare and contrast with the fainting couch one above it.
4) Don flies to sunny L.A. and winds up hanging out with a bunch of European tax evaders in "The Jet Set" episode. According to Curbed, this house is The Fox House, an abode Sinatra rented for 10 years. If that's not a ringing endorsement that it's classic California modern, I don't know what is. The set designers and art director captured that clean white, glass and that unique California cool.
Bert Cooper's Japanese-inspired office. No shoes allowed in here. The arrival of new art was always exciting and gave us insight into Bert's character and tastes. A new Rothko had everyone in the office a tizzy, a Pollack was behind his head during the moon landing, but the best was the sex octopus:
But the best sex octopus moment was this vision of Peggy Olson, completely transformed, strolling into McCann-Erickson unrecognizable from the young secretary we'd met a decade earlier.
What was your favorite Mad Men design moment? Please share it with us!

The Spain Program is designed for those seeking to develop considerable fluency in Spanish while studying the historical and contemporary cultural diversity of Spain through a variety of disciplines such as history, art and literature.
The program is based in Granada, capital of the province of Granada in the autonomous community of Andalucía in southern Spain. Granada lies at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and the Mediterranean Tropical Coast is less than 50 miles away. The city's population is approximately 250,000. While Granada has been an urban center since about the 5th century BCE, much of its cultural and historical legacy derives from the Nazrid emirate during the 13th‐16th centuries, a community in which cultural diversity (Christian, Jewish and Muslim) thrived. In fact, Granada's name derives from a Jewish neighborhood (Garnata) in the urban nucleus prior to the arrival of Muslims in 711. The "jewel" of Muslim ownership of Granada is the palace of the Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Contemporary Granada is the epicenter of the emerging Andalusian Renaissance, once again celebrating its multicultural inheritance and continuing diverse demography, including viable populations Romani, North Africans and Latin Americans. Granada hosta the first Mosque built on Spanish soil since the Francisco Franco dictatorship (1939 - 1975); it is the home of the University of Granada, third largest Spanish university with approximately 80,000 students, and the first university in Spain to establish a Center for Peace and Conflict Studies. Granada is known for its tapas and a vibrant college-town atmosphere.
Students will be enrolled in the University of Granada's Modern Languages Center, located in downtown Granada, in a neighborhood that was once the city's Jewish Quarter. Students will have access to all University facilities, including libraries and sports venues.
Students will live and take all meals with Spanish families in Granada throughout the program. Living with host families enhances the language acquisition process and reinforces the cultural immersion experience.
The program begins in Madrid and students will explore the city and environs (for example, Toledo or Segovia) before traveling to Granada. In addition to exploring Granada, the program may also travel to cities or places such as Córdoba, Sevilla, Almeria and Morocco. Some excursions will be day trips and other excursions will require overnight stays.
Click here to apply online for the Spain Program.
All students will participate in an intensive language course in January. Students will then be evaluated and placed into appropriate courses for their level of proficiency in Spanish. All students will take an Andalusian Literature and Cultural Studies course with Chris, and all will participate in a Socratic "Tertulia Intercultural" (intercultural colloquium) that includes a required internship, field study or ethnographic project. Students will be able to choose courses that are offered through the Modern Languages Center. Students who demonstrate a superior language proficiency may be allowed to take one course directly from the University of Granada. All students will receive AWPE credit for walking. Students who enroll in an Art or Music course will fulfill the Earlham College A-HT General Education requirement. Courses that may fulfill other General Education requirements must be petitioned prior to the program.
February - May:
Students accepted to the Spain Program are required to participate in Cross-Cultural Explorations - Pre (1 credit) prior to departure and Cross-Cultural Explorations - Post (1 credit) after they return. Pre-departure sessions are designed to prepare students for the cross-cultural experience and will include readings, activities, films, lectures, and discussions with former participants of the program. A weekend retreat is part of this course. Students and parents will receive a Handbook of important information prior to the program. Following return to campus, students will participate in a 7-week course that will guide them in processing, analyzing and building upon their off-campus experience. Credit for Cross-Cultural Explorations - Pre is dependent upon successful completion of the semester program.
The program cost will be the equivalent of one semester of Earlham College tuition, fees, room and board. The program covers academic and educational costs, including field excursions and other group activities as well as room and board while on the academic portion of the program. Students on financial aid may apply their aid to one Earlham or Earlham-approved off-campus program during their college career.
Each student should plan for additional money to cover round-trip airfare, passport and visa expenses, books, personal expenses, and costs for the independent travel period. A passport and visa is required for travel to Spain.
Students are responsible for arranging flights to and from Spain. Information on travel options will be available during orientation.
Undergraduate students of all academic backgrounds and majors in good standing with the college may apply. Students on academic or disciplinary probation are not eligible to apply or participate. Students must complete at least Spanish 202 prior to the program. Students are encouraged to take or audit Spanish 346: Spain Culture, offered during the fall semester. Majors from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Final selection of participants will be made by a student and faculty committee.

20th June 2017
Christian Wilfer, Senior Director of Digital at Grayling Deutschland, on a YouTube trend which hardly anyone knows.
A blonde Beauty whispers her words and smiles in the camera. Maria is the face of the YouTube channel Gentle Whispering. She is a specialist for ASMR Videos and is one of the most well-known faces within this field. The 30-year-old has over 327,000,000 views on YouTube currently and the number continues to climb day by day.
The term ASMR arose in the cyber culture around 2010 and stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It describes a psychosomatic response to a wide range of auditory and visual sensory stimuli. ASMR performers use crackling and rustling noises in order to trigger a physical reaction out of their viewers - a tingling sensation on the scalp that can spread over the whole body. There are countless stimuli that can trigger such a tingling sensation.
Google Trends has seen a steady increase in interest for this in the past few years. More than 500 ASMR videos are uploaded to YouTube and between 8 and 9 million YouTube views on this topic are recorded on any given day. Many ASMR-bloggers like Maria have tap into audience of over 100,000 subscribers.
Brands, whose products are already ubiquitous in many ASMR formats, have grown a steady interest in this trend. Particularly in the food and beauty sector, a whole new world of potential media partners exist which could be tapped into. Proper incorporation into a brand's marketing strategy is surely to come next.
In Germany, the traditional Unilever margarine brand Rama, seems to have landed on the discovery of ASMR. The company, one of the first consumer brands in Germany to tap into the ASMR phenomenon, plans to reach new target groups with its campaign. Unilever stages the familiar sounds of slicing and buttering bread as a comforting and pleasant ASMR sound. Some would say, true earporn!
Of course, the almighty Google has also recognized this trend. In an article on thinkwithgoogle.com, ASMR is described as the "biggest YouTube trend you've ever heard of". It will certainly not take long till we see more formats and platforms pop up around ASMR, offering exciting possibilities particularly for brand communication.

BANNER ELK, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University Falcons used a three goal third period to claim a 10-8 win over the Lees-McRae College Bobcats Tuesday night in a Conference Carolinas men's lacrosse game at Tate Field.
With the win, Pfeiffer improves to 7-6 overall and 2-2 in the conference, while Lees-McRae drops their sixth in a row and falls to 3-6 overall and 0-4 in the conference.
Pfeiffer took an early 4-1 lead after the first quarter, but Lees-McRae strung together their own 4-1 quarter to tie the game at five at the half.
After the break, Pfeiffer took control of the game with a 3-1 third period. Lees-McRae pulled within one goal with the first goal in the fourth period but Pfeiffer answered to push the lead back two goals. Lees-McRae would cut the lead to one, but less than a minute later Pfeiffer answered with the game's final goal to earn the 10-8 win.
Brett Yusiewicz and Matt Markey led the Bobcats with two goals, and Markey added two assists for a team-high four points. Derin Vacca, Brandon Marks, Landon Guntman and Quinn Struble also notched goals for the Bobcats. Jordan Shreiner had two assists, and Landon Young and Vacca had one assists apiece. Andy Nesdill had seven groundballs and Young, Vacca and Micheal LaSalle had four groundballs.
For the Falcons, Chad Olsen had a game-high three goals and also added one assist for four total points. Justin Rose and Kory Lutes scored two gaols, and Dan Mesler, Derrick Ensor and Nick Berkompas had one goal apiece. Ben Nielsen had a team-high two assists. Kirby Upshaw collected a game-high six groundballs for the Falcons.
Lees-McRae won 15 of the 22 face-offs with Vacca going 6-for-6, and Dane Robinson going 7-for-11.
The Falcons outshot the Bobcats 46-21 and won the groundball battle 41-31.
The Bobcats will have the next nine days off before playing Queens on April 15th at Tate Field.

US expenditure (per capita) on prescription drugs is at an all time high and showing no signs of reversing – so, it's understandable that payers are totally focused on value. But when 'value' means different things to payers and manufacturers sitting on opposite sides of the negotiating table, how can agreement ever be reached? This free FirstWord Perspectives report, presented by Prognos, discusses the various types of value-based contract emerging and offers payer insights into the challenges involved.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College men's basketball program and head coach Terry Sellers have announced the signing of Larrentis Thomas.
Thomas, a 6-foot-4 forward, joins the Bobcats from Southern Union Community College (Wadley, Ala.). He is originally from McDonough, Ga.
"We are pleased that Larrentis decided to join our program," said Sellers. "He is an extremely efficient, high percentage player. We struggled to score and rebound at times this past season and he will help us in both those areas. Larrentis is an outstanding student and a perfect fit at Georgia College."
Thomas led the North Division of the Alabama Community College Conference in scoring with 17.1 points per game. He shot 57 percent from the field and grabbed 7.7 rebounds per contest as well. Thomas' season high came against Bishop State in the State Tournament where he netted 29 points, going a perfect 13-of-13 from the foul line.
Thomas was named First Team All-Region 22 as well as First Team All-Conference.
Southern Union, under head coach Ron Radford, went 16-11 this past season.
The Bobcats battled through the 2012-13 season, a 9-17 year with a 5-14 conference mark. Georgia College finished the season third in the PBC in fewest turnovers per game (11.3) and second in defending the three-point shot (.306). Sellers picked up his 200th PBC win this season, his 20th at the helm of Bobcat basketball.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - "In order to win meets like this you can't do it just on depth. You have to win events," said UC Santa Barbara head coach Gregg Wilson about his men and women's swim teams in their meet against USC on Saturday at Campus Pool.
Both the men and women's swim teams were unable to edge out the strong finishes of the Trojan swimmers. The score for the women's team was USC 143, UCSB 111. The men's meet was much closer with the Gauchos finishing with a total of 123 and USC with 139.
Not surprisingly, the relay events proved to be a high point for UCSB. In the 200 medley relay, the women's "A" team consisting of Naomi Javanifard, Emily Adamczyk, Katie Ure and Anne Marie May took a second place finish with a time of 1:45.12.
The men's "A" team consisting of Kevin Ferguson, Tim Freeman, Danny McClary, and Chris Peterson came in first with a time of 1:32.79.
The Trojans owned the distance races with two freshmen, Haley Anderson and Richard Charlesworth, finishing first in both the 1000 and 500 freestyle events.
Freeman provided the next win for the Gauchos in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 56.90. Freeman also placed second in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:05.53.
Captain of UCSB's women's team, Ann Marie May, who ranks first nationally in the 50 freestyle, backed up her ranking with a win in the event. Her time was 23.59. May took another first place in the 100 freestyle with a time of 51.31.
The sprints were also a high point for the men's team with UCSB's Peterson taking first in the 50 freestyle with a quick time of 20.63 and first in the 100 freestyle with a time of 45.64.
The Gauchos also placed first in the 200 breaststroke with freshman Adamczyk taking the top spot with a time of 2:18.44. For the men, UCSB's Travis Jepson finished first with a time of 2:05.48.
The men's meet came down to the wire but USC was able to edge out UCSB with wins in the 500 freestyle, 100 butterfly and 400 IM, which put the Trojans up by 25 points by the last relay event.
Although both the men and women's 200 freestyle "A" relays placed first, the points were not enough to knock off the Trojans. The women's team consisting of May, Javanifard, Courtney Bauer and Sasza Lohrey came in with a top time of 1:34.31 illustrating their #14 national ranking in the event.
The men's 200 free relay team comprised of Peterson, Ryan Hanni, Ferguson and Scott Vogelgesang came in first with a time of 1:21.97.
The UCSB men's and women's swim teams will face off against UNLV at Campus Pool on Jan. 23 at high noon.

If you've been following my blogs for any length of time, you'll know that I am a huge fan of Alycia Carmin. Alycia is unquestionably the coolest person in any room and not only is she a genuine horseriding Colorado rancher, she also manages to somehow find the time to provide literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Quilts of Valor each and every year for the wounded soldiers at Fort Carson Army Hospital, Angel Flight recipients, and military members of an Equine Therapy group. If you would like information on how to grow up to be just like Alycia, visit her blog at Alycia Quilts
A couple of weeks ago, Alycia announced that she is beginning a new QOV Mystery Quilt in association with Craftsy.com I am VERY pleased to announce that I am the longarm instructor that Alycia and Craftsy.com are teaming up with on this project! As those of you who have bought my first two DVDs know, I *LOVE* to promote Quilts of Valor in everything that I do and this time it's no different.
Craftsy approached me in February and wanted to know if I'd teach a class for their online learning platform. It took me about 14 seconds to say "YES!!!" When I started planning what I'd do for this class, the first thing I thought of was "How will I incorporate Quilts of Valor?" To me, there's not much point in being 'known' if you don't do something useful and worthwhile with that whole "Oh, I know who she is!" status and for me, the something that I've decided to do is to bring attention to the needs of our wounded military.
I used a Quilt of Valor to teach you how to deal with wavy borders on my first DVD, I used a QOV to show you how to use twirly whirly feathers as an allover design on my second DVD, and in my Craftsy class I'll use a QOV to show you how to use templates to create design perfection on your quilts. My hope is that you will follow Alycia's directions to create your Mystery Quilt (there's a finished version of the quilt on my machine right now, and it's super cool!), allow me to show you how to quilt it, and then send your completed quilt to Alycia so that she can deliver it to one of our heroes in time for Christmas. Alycia has shared with me that the holidays are an extremely difficult time for our wounded soldiers, as many of them are too badly injured to travel and many of their families lack the money to pay for a visit, so they sit by themselves in a hospital far from home. Let's change these stressful, sad holidays to a season filled with love and thanks by wrapping them in our quilts.
Here's the scoop on my Craftsy thing: The class will be on Templates, and will be approximately 5 to 6 hours long, broken down into 20 to 30 minute segments so you won't get square eyes from sitting in front of the computer all day long. We'll start with easy stuff and each segment will move progressively from easy peasy to more intricate and complex. If you've ever taken a class from me, you know the drill; start with baby steps and move forward from there so that even the most complicated designs seem simple and totally doable.
With Craftsy classes, it's basically like buying a DVD, except you store your DVD online instead of at your house. You pay for the class once and can watch it as many times as you wish; you can rewind it, pause it, insert placeholders in it that will allow you to jump back to specific spots in the class to refresh your memory on techniques, etc. There will be a little community of students with it's own forum where you can ask questions of me and of other students, make friends, show off pics of your finished projects, the whole nine yards. It's a totally cool concept that's going to revolutionize the way we share our skills and knowledge with one another, and I'm way beyond excited to be playing a part in it.
We will be filming next month and the class should go live in mid-October. I'll keep you posted and, in the meantime, please pop over to Craftsy and start working on your QOV Mystery!
I wish you Happy Quilting and little to no thread barf on the backs of your quilts :)
Deeply committed to infusing quilters with the confidence that stems from developing a growing mastery of one's craft.

With Earth Day right around the corner, Sunday, April 22, now seems like the natural time to share our top picks in eco beauty. All week long, we'll be sharing our green recommendations in makeup, shower staples, skin care and more. Today, we're bringing you our thoughts on eco-friendly makeup. Read on to find out about the perfect cheek color, an organic highlighter and the juiciest tinted lip balm that's good for you, too.
1. Tarte gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara. Lashes are gifted with this mascara — healthier with each use and the appearance of majorly lengthened fringe (by 121% according to Tarte). Amazonian clay works to hydrate and repair lashes, and reads and treats your lash concerns giving you what you need (hence the "smart") It's all legit. We are huge fans of this at Product Girl. ($19, Tarte Cosmetics)
2. Josie Maran Argan Color Stick. Have you ever seen Josie demo these on QVC? Josie and her crew of models always look so radiant and healthy. That's exactly the effect of the color stick – it brightens the complexion and cheeks are hydrated and dewy. Free of fragrance and parabens and full of essential oils, vitamin E and of course, argan oil. Rosey is the perfect shade for all skin tones, but we recommend trying them all (check out this sampler!) ($22, Josie Maran Cosmetics)
3. RMS Beauty "Un" Cover-Up. A foundation, concealer, skin healer all in one. RMS redefines makeup with this product, helping treat and nourish the skin where you need it most. Coverage is beautiful, all signs of sallowness, redness, blemishes and uneven skin tone are instantly gone. Blend with your fingers and watch "Un" Cover Up become your skin, but better. ($36, Spirit Beauty Lounge)
4. Vapour Organic Beauty Trick Sticks. Made with 70% certified organic ingredients and 30% natural mineral pigments and vitamins, think of these are the green version of a NARS Multiple. We like that they are tiny and can be used directly on the brow bone, inner corner of the eyes and just about anywhere you want to highlight on the face. ($20, Vapour Organic Beauty)
5. Alima Pure Nourishing Lip Balm. There's many a tinted balms with peppermint oil out there, but we have a special spot for Alima. When you put these on, a rush of moisture fills lips and makes them looks super juicy. Not a surprise, since Alima formulates these with soothing antioxidants, organic plant oils and butters. Rhubarb is the perfect pink! ($7, Alima Pure)
6. EcoTools Mini Kabuki brushes. EcoTools uses earth-friendly, cruelty-free materials to make its brushes. These mini kabukis, part of a 4-piece set, are both the cutest brushes we might own and probably among the most used. Quality is gained with EcoTools, not sacrificed. Don't you love when you get both effective and adorable? ($14.99, Drugstore.com)

New Zealand by bus
Travelling around New Zealand is easy and the cheap long distance bus networks make it one of the most cost effective backpacking options available.
If you're looking for a great way to meet real New Zealanders as you explore this great country of ours, then travelling by bus is one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to travel.
Services are regular throughout the country and many operators provide drop off points at the main backpacker accommodation hubs or close enough to be within walking distance.
The lack of a well established rail network and expensive domestic airfares means bus transport is a very popular choice for many kiwi travellers. Fares are very competitive and provide flexibility, with fully refundable and non refundable options available. Fares tend to be cheaper the further out you book and payment can be made online via credit card or at hundreds of retail agents nationwide, including most backpackers, hostels and the i-SITE Visitor Information Network .
The main national bus company is InterCity Coachlines who operate New Zealand's most comprehensive national network with over 130 daily services through the country to more than 600 towns, cities and communities.
InterCity is the only domestic national bus network to hold the officially recognized "Endorsed Visitor Transport" Qualmark accreditation and ensures they have passed industry-developed standards based on quality, professionalism, trustworthiness, service and safety.
Fares start from just $1 (plus a booking fee) on all InterCity's national services and they've even been known to giveaway FREE seats at various times of the year. A limited number of heavily discounted "Cheap-as-Seats" for travel that week are released via the company's facebook and twitter feeds every Monday.
InterCity also offers a number of transport passes combining their domestic network and bonus sightseeing inclusions with awesomeNZ.com. Passes can also be used to on the ferry crossing between the North and South islands. There are three different passes to choose from; TRAVELPASS (fixed itinerary options), flexitrips (discounted multiple trips) and flexipass (discounted hours travel). All are valid for 12months and offer great flexibility as amendments can be made to coach travel up to 2 hours prior to departure without penalty. Each pass has its own pros and cons depending on your travel style, where you plan to go and how much you plan to travel.
Unlike most backpacker bus passes, all InterCity's transport passes can be sold and transferred to someone else. You'll often find people selling passes with a few remaining hours on facebook.
Travelling by domestic transport is a safe and economical way to experience New Zealand. Sure it's not the party bus atmosphere offered by the backpacker buses but you'll get to meet regular kiwis going about their daily lives, as well as other travellers just like you.
You can view a full range of transport options on newzealand.com.

I don't even know where to start with this one...Maybe with the freaky little clowns on the cover.
Kinda giving me nightmares...and I'm not even asleep!
Yeah. This book doesn't really have a plot. At all. The idea is that Claud has to write her "autobiography" for school. So, she recalls a few choice anecdotes that are never otherwise mentioned. Like the time she spent at a special school in Stamford. Wait, what? Don't worry, I'll go back to that one.
So, I figure the easy way to do this one (because I am nothing if not lazy) (and self-deprecating), is to give you a brief summary of the different events that Claud covers.
Big event #1: The Kishis get another baby.
Don't worry, even Claud's not stupid enough to think she can remember being born. But Janine? She remembers A LOT. Especially given that she was only 3 1/2 when Claudia was born.
Lucky us, we get an anecdote about pre-school wonder-trio Claudia, Mary Anne and Kristy putting their hands in wet cement. Yay.
Big event #2: Claudia's sixth birthday "party" hits a speedbump.
So, Claudia liked kindergarten. [I hated kindergarten. But that's another story for another therapist.]
On the last day of said kindergarten [damn, I hate typing that word!], Claud distributes invitations to her upcoming (as in a few weeks away) sixth birthday party. It's going to be all circus themed. Or something. Only nobody RSVPs, AND the only people who show up are Mary Anne and Kristy. So Claud's all crying and heartbroken, so all the parents (and Mimi) and Mary Anne and Kristy all throw together a little surprise party to cheer up the wee artist.
Big event #3: Claudia loses a tooth (but finds the truth).
Circa second grade, Claud is scared to lose any teeth because she thinks that the Tooth Fairy is a monster that eats teeth (and even yanks 'em if she's really hungry). (Oh, and all the kids in 2nd grade are apparently obsessed with losing their teeth.) But the C-dawg falls or something and knocks one of her teeth loose and then she has to have the dentist pull it. And she catches her mom in the act of being the notorious T.O.O.T.H. And then Claud realizes that *SPOILER* [NOT REALLY] Santa and the Easter Bunny are also made up. And she feels all sad and grown up. Yeah.
Big event #4: Claudia IS the new girl!
So, after a decent year in third grade, Claud really starts to lose her shit, academically speaking, in fourth grade. Halfway through the year, she winds up transferring to a special school, the Stamford Alternative Academy, where she gets a lot of special attention, etc. And she really starts to do well in school, but she's crazy depressed and anti-social and does that BSC thing where she pre-dumps Kristy and Mary Anne rather than let them "outgrow" her or whatever. Finally, she gets so depressed that her parents let her go back to Stoneybrook Elementary School. And we all know how well that worked out for her.
Big event #5: Claudia goes to the beach. Seriously. (With the Thomases.)
So, the summer when the girls are eleven, Claudia joins the Thomas (post-Mr. Thomas, pre-Watson) family for a trip to the beach; Charlie and Sam are both playing on a baseball team that's in the playoffs or something. In this little bit, we learn that the Thomases don't have much money, and Kristy has to be really responsible. Or something. Oh, yeah, cause Kristy has to watch David Michael all the time. Blah.
So, that's the general picture. Now for the rants!
- "But as usual, I'm jumping into the middle of things. I guess that's because I see things not as having a beginning and an end, but as a big picture spreading out all around me with me (of course) at the center." Seriously. That manages to sound both stupid and pretentious. Quite a feat.
- "I'm smart, but, well, school and I (except for art and maybe phys ed) just don't agree." Me neither, actually.
- "Because I also have, well, an appreciation for what some people call junk food. But then, some people call wonderful works of art junk, too, right? Even Nancy Drew books! It's all in how you look at it." Okay, I've never heard the high/low art dichotomy used as a pro-Twinkie argument before. Also, even if you love Nancy Drew books, you know they're not great works of art. Not that they have no value, or aren't enjoyable or well-made or whatever. But not "wonderful works of art." Heh. "Art junk."
- Ah, yes, the notorious "fascinating parental fact." Sometimes, though, you just don't want to know. Trust me.
- Yes, I'm sure that "being smart and laid-back and looking totally together is the result of all those sprouts and tofu!" Oh, wait, though. Dawn's not laid-back! Damn, there goes your sales pitch.
- Apparently, Claudia knew what an art show was when she was young enough to draw all over the bathroom. Prescient!
- Holy fucking retardedness, Batman! When she was in kindergarten, she drew a fucking butterfly as her self portrait. Proving once again that huffing while knocked up is a baaaaad idea, Mrs. Kishi.
- Outfit! "An enormous shirt and patchwork vest over striped leggings." How edgy! How...exactly what she wears in every fucking book.
- In a mighty presumptuous move, Claud titles her autobiography "An Artist's Life."
- Dumb bitch can't even spell the name of the state where she's lived her entire life.
- Well, duh. Of course you don't remember being born or being brought home from the hospital.
- I always thought Mimi was a nickname, but, according to Claud's birth announcement, her name is Mimi Yamamoto. So, Claud calls her grandmother by her first name. Even as a kid. Kinda weird.
- Heh. Toddler Janine has a mullet.
- One of Claud's earliest memories is from when she was four and a half or five. Which seems kind of late, no? [Though I know jack shit about kiddie development, so I could be totally off.]
- On the first day of kindergarten, Kristy "looked around the room, folded her arms, and said, 'Not bad.'" The fuck? How old was she when she started school? 30?
- Ah, undiagnosed ADD. Excuse me, ADHD.
- L'il Claud outfit! "I was wearing black tights and my tall black rainboots and my red jacket with the brass buttons. I had a T-shirt with a lion's head painted on the front and I wore that under the jacket. I thought it made me look like a lion tamer." Um, is she wearing any pants? Or just the tights? Sure, Nancy Sinatra and Edie Sedgwick could pull it off, but I'm not sure it's appropriate for a five-going-on-six-year-old.
- Janine, on the other hand, was wearing "a [wait for it...] Laura Ashley flowered dress and white tights and flats." So, I'm totally trying to determine the rules for the BSC drinking game. And I think part of it should be "drink twice when someone wears Laura Ashley."
- L'il Kristy's idea of "party clothes?" So glad you asked. "Kristy was wearing navy blue shorts with a matching camp shirt, white socks, and her best sneakers."
- There's an elaborately contrived reason for no guests. Lame.
- I don't remember everyone being obsessed with losing their baby teeth. It just happened. I enjoyed it personally, cause I'm a sick fuck.
- The illustrations in this book totally fucked with me. First of all, Claud looks like a different kid in each picture. Then she looks younger when she's supposed to be older and vice fucking versa. Seriously. Weak.
- Some more "clever" homemade devices for deterring intruders. Yay. Still not amusing when the "intruder" is a creepy fairy.
- A 3rd grade teacher that wears "business suits?" Hmmmm...
- Claud's 4th grade teacher is both black and southern. But I thought Jessi's fam were the only black people in town?!?!? And the Brunos were the only southerners!?!?! My world is falling apart, much like when Claud realized that the tooth fairy was her mom.
- Claud gets tested for learning disabilities!!!! But I would've gotten a second opinion if they came back clear. Cause, not bright.
- Okay, a couple of things really bothered me about the whole special school thing.
- One, I would think Claudia would kind of like a school that didn't make her feel stupid all the time.
- Two, she threw a teenage hissyfit about going to school, and she alienated all the kids and didn't even try to make friends.
- Three, did she really think that the two girls across the street wouldn't have anything to say to her if they went to different schools?
- And, finally, is it really better to go back to the school where you were doing terribly, have to spend all kinds of time outside of school getting tutors and getting extra attention, and still not do well? Wouldn't that be worse for her self-worth? And she couldn't be in the same classes as her friends as school progressed, so what good would being at the same school be? Lunch period? This whole interlude really bothered me.
- Also, these girls talked EXACTLY the same at eight as they do at thirteen, and it's all ridiculous.
- Claudia never like Mr. Thomas. How convenient.
- I don't think I ever went away with another family when I was a kid, except with my extended family. I don't think that counts. But these girls are constantly travelling with other fams. Crazy, crazy parents.
- Claud's the only one who thinks the hotel at the beach is run down. Ha ha, Kristy's family is poor. And Claud's a snob.
- Also, Claud's acting like Kristy's all grown-up, taking care of David Michael. At eleven. Wait a minute...isn't that how old Mal and Jessi are?
- Of course, the written autobiography inspires some lameass art project.
Wowza. That sucked Cartman's balls.
One more thing: Mary Anne is one fugly kid.
See ya after Christmas, suckas!

Election 2012 is evidence that our Democracy is being held hostage. When Harry Reid in defense of the Disclose Act on July 16th, 2012 (C-Span 8:25 Mark) said "If this flood of outside money continues, the day after the election 17 angry old white men will wake up and realize they just bought the country" he effectively laid out the case against money being free speech.
Let's be clear. The Republican Party and to a lesser extent the Democratic Party are beholding to corporate interests. These corporate interests for all practical purposes have bought control of our Democracy by having been given the same rights as living people who have the right to virtually unlimited free speech and having had money further defined as a form of free speech that use corporate personhood to demand unlimited speech.
Mitt Romney received a vast majority of his donations and support from a small few, the American Plutocracy along with nominal small donors. President Obama received much from the Plutocracy but a plurality from the masses. A President Obama win may give the false impression that allowing unlimited monies in our election does not corrupt it irreversibly given that the "17 angry white men" Senator Reid spoke about would have failed. That would be a flawed analysis as an Obama win in an economy still in distress would likely only be possible if he was presented with a fatally flawed opponent.
That a candidate as flawed as Mitt Romney has the possibility of winning, is exactly the reason why it is time that we remove moneyed corruption from our elections. He purchased the nomination by using unlimited resources to flood the airwaves to create an alternate state of reality with low information voters.
There is only one solution to this corruption, a constitutional amendment that specifically decouples money from speech and removes corporate personhood. This will ensure that while free speech is maintained, the use of money in politics can be regulated. Moreover it will remove the ability of corporate entities from claiming free speech rights and other rights of living breathing human beings.
There are many organizations working on constitutional amendments purported to solve the problem. Most solely concentrate on the overturning of "Citizens United" or codifying that money is not speech. The organization Move to Amend (http://movetoamend.org) is the one currently working on an all-encompassing amendment that will solve the corruption once and for all as it covers both the decoupling of money and speech as well as removing corporate personhood.
Many Move to Amend affiliates have already gotten resolutions passed at the city, county, and state levels. Following the grassroots method of building awareness through the resolution process is likely the most effective way of generating popular support for real change in our electoral and political process.
It is important that we right this ship called America. It won't happen without your support.Make a difference by signing the petition.

Dacronkid sez: IF IT CANT KILL YA, IT AIN'T A SPORT !!!!!
At the risk of going too far afield of the important issue of wizzing in wetsuits, it reminds me of something our shipping guy explained to me relative to figure skating in the olympics: "if it requires makeup it's not a sport".

Table of Contents
MySQL supports a number of SQL data types in several categories: numeric types, date and time types, string (character and byte) types, and spatial types. This chapter provides an overview of these data types, a more detailed description of the properties of the types in each category, and a summary of the data type storage requirements. The initial overview is intentionally brief. The more detailed descriptions later in the chapter should be consulted for additional information about particular data types, such as the permissible formats in which you can specify values.
Data type descriptions use these conventions:
M indicates the maximum display width
for integer types. For floating-point and fixed-point types,
M is the total number of digits that
can be stored (the precision). For string types,
M is the maximum length. The maximum
permissible value of
M depends on the
data type.
D applies to floating-point and
fixed-point types and indicates the number of digits following
the decimal point (the scale). The maximum possible value is 30,
but should be no greater than
Square brackets ("
[" and
]") indicate optional parts of
type definitions.

I have found it a great delight visiting smaller towns and cities and attending their dance festivals over the last few years. Last weekend, it was Townsville's turn to host their third rock 'n roll and swing dance festival incorporating dance demos and classes led by the Sydney Swing Katz team. As many of you would know, dancers from Sydney Swing Katz have just about won all the major dance competitions in Melbourne including the VRRDA dance championships over the last 2 to 3 years. How incredibly lucky of Townsville dancers to be learning from some of Australia's best dancers and teachers.
The highlight for the weekend was of course Saturday's Prom night held at Cutheringa Bowls Club. Music for dancing was provided by a local R&R band and a swing/jazz trio. The event was booked out and it was fantastic to see so many dancers came dressed for the occasion in their 1940's - 1950's styles. There were dance demos in swing and rock & roll on the night as well as performing the Shim Sham. There were prizes for the best dressed to be won and ladies could have their hair done 1950's style too. It was a really fun night and the dance floor was well used all night long.
Well done to Bettina & David Naughton in staging a very successful event. For those who do not know, Bettina is a local swing and R&R dance teacher in Townsville but was also a boogie woogie dancer and a past troupe member competing in Europe. She has very strong passion for dancing and in promoting R&R and swing in Townsville. Bettina also assisted with the dance classes all weekend.
Townsville weather is fantastic in July with warm, sunny days and cool nights. Just perfect for staging a dance festival and for dancing. Well worth attending the Townsville Dance festival if you happen to be travelling to Queensland in July-August each year......

I have written before about Maurice M. Beach and his exemplary career, that full biography article can be found here http://goo.gl/2dg8l
|Maurice M. Beach...drawing made of him in England, 1945
General Beach had an extraordinary military career during the active years of WWII and continued to serve as he commanded his troops and assisted in airlifting the wounded from Normandy.
During the years immediately following the war, there was a multinational occupation of post-World War II Germany. The Soviet Union blocked the Western Allie's railway and road access to the sectors of Berlin that were under Allied control. Their aim was to force the western powers to allow the Soviet zone to start supplying Berlin with food and fuel, thereby giving the Soviets control over the entire city. In response, the Western Allies organized the Berlin Airlift to carry supplies to the people in West Berlin. The United States Air Force and the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force were aided by several other allies and flew over 200,000 flights in one year, providing up to 4700 tons of daily necessities such as fuel and food to the Berliners. Both General Beach and his wife were actively involved in the actions of the Berlin Airlift while he was stationed in Europe.
It is with great love that I honor uncle Maurice M. Beach. Our family misses you so much!

Grazing goats to clean Capitol Hill cemetery in DC
More than 100 goats are taking over Washington's Historic Congressional Cemetery to help clean up the landmark.
The cemetery welcomed the grazing herd Wednesday. The goats will graze 24 hours a day for six days to eliminate vines, poison ivy and weeds, while also "fertilizing the ground."
The livestock will be penned outside of the burial areas. The cemetery is open from dawn to dusk.
The cemetery says the use of goats will eliminate the need for harmful herbicides and will keep invasive species from killing large trees.
The Congressional Cemetery was founded in the early 1800s and covers 35 acres on Capitol Hill. Thousands of people are buried at the cemetery, including former senators and House members.

It is also very good idea to use UniUploader - there is info about it on page linked before. Using it you will be able to upload stuff with one click and gzipped (much smaller file to upload = faster upload).
All you need to do is:
1) In "Settings" tab change URL to "http://www.warcraftrealms.com/uniupload.php" and under "Upload Access" put your warcraftrealms login and password.
2) On same tab click "Show SVs" button and make sure CensusPlus is checked.
3) On same tab click "Advanced mode" go to "Advanced" tab and under "Other Options" make sure "GZIP Compression" is checked.
Now every time you want to uplaod your data just run UniUploader.exe (put it in WoW directory) and press Upload button.
EDIT: Just noticed, no idea if UniUploader works on Mac.

LOL, yeah, that blasted mac thing. :p
Yes, downloading it from the SavedVariables folder. I have a couple of them to try from, as the addon is turned on for a char on Alliance side and one Horde side; it didn't matter which one I used.
I'll try moving/renaming the file and letting it start over! We'll see how that goes. Maybe I'll have to try the uniloader; but I just got off shift, it is way early, so that isn't happening now!

Last I checked, UniUploader was only a Windows executable. It was partially for this reason that I wrote my own upload script.
Anyway, from what you are saying, it sounds like you are uploading the wrong SavedVariables file; one holding the per-character configuration instead of the "global" (actually account-level) configuration.
Ignoring the funkiness that can occur under Vista / Win7, the right SV file is located, in the same place on all platforms. It is located relative to the directory where World of Warcraft is installed, at
where "<accountname> is the name of your WoW account (
It sounds like what you are uploading are per-character files, which would be found at
The reason there are both per-character and per-account files for CP is because the (much larger) per-account file holds the census data for
realms and factions that you scan, while the per-character files hold configuration / preferences for each of those characters, such as whether "verbose" is turned on, whether to auto-scan, etc.
If you
been sending the larger per-account file, then the problem lies elsewhere.

AAaaah... Ok. I shall go try this! The upload window hid the filepath and wouldn't move so I couldn't verify the whole thing. So I may have assumed it was longer than it was.

Welcome Bilsy. Next time you might want to check that you are logged in on that side too as I can't see any updates on your personal page, leading me to think you uploaded anonymously.

Here is the theatrical trailer of the upcoming film from his production house. Starring newcomer Imran Khan and Genelia D'Souza. Promises to be fun! Like the comedy they have going. Genelia's delivery of some of the wilder (and borderline expletive) dialogs is perfect! ;)
Links to the song-specific trailers are contained in my review of the soundtrack.

Times are tough and that's especially true for big media companies, including publishers like newspapers.
Advertisers are cutting back and that means that all online publishers are competing for a piece of a smaller pie. While traffic figures aren't the be all and end all of ad sales, traffic does matter.
For many, if not most, online publishers, Google is an important source of traffic. And the search giant is coming under increasing fire from big publishers who believe that Google's algorithm is giving too much credit to publishers who aren't providing the quality of content they are and who, in some cases, are actually living off of big media's content.
As AdAge.com reports, John Kosner, a senior VP at ESPN, started really pushing the issue at a November 2008 meeting of Google's Publishers Advisory Council, which includes a select group of big media publishers.
The complaint: they're not getting enough credit in the SERPs despite the fact that they're producing much of the original content that later gets incorporated into derivative content produced by smaller publishers, including blogs. Further, the media companies complain that they're often being penalized for their paid content.
According to one media executive quoted by AdAge.com:
You should not have a system where those who are essentially parasites off the true producers of content benefit disproportionately.
Another was a bit kinder when referencing the publisher position:
This would in no way mean that only professional content publishers would get an advantage. It really just says that the original source, and the source with real access, should somehow be recognized as the most important in the delivery of results.
Does big media have a valid complaint here about how original sources are treated or is this just sour grapes on the part of struggling companies? Perhaps a bit of both.
Obviously Google's algorithm isn't doing its job when publishers who take original content and add no value to it receive better SERPs than the original source. On the other hand, big media companies shouldn't have a sense of entitlement when it comes to SERPs; their current troubles go a lot further than their SERPs.
There are plenty of publishers who take original content and add new information and new perspectives. It's very much possible than an ESPN story on a major sporting event, for instance, will serve as the basis for a blog post that is far more interesting than the original ESPN article. If more people are linking to it than they are to the original, it's hard to argue against that blog post receiving better SERPs.
What publishers need to realize is that there's a huge difference between those who steal and scrape content and those who create derivative content that happens to be really good. As far as I can tell, Google does a fairly good job penalizing the former but shouldn't put the latter at a natural disadvantage against larger publishers who just so happen to produce 'original content'. Quality is quality and relevancy is relevancy. Those are what matter.
Google has to walk a fine line here. If it caves in to pressure from big media companies and tweaks its algorithm to give them a noticeable advantage where none is inherently due, it could spell trouble for Google as we know it.
