Ever wish you could dive a little deeper into the incendiary entity that is Kanye West? Well, now you can.
Professor Jeffrey McCune of Washington University just kicked off his newest course, "Politics of Kanye West: Black Genius and Sonic Aesthetics," which he says will not praise nor bash the rapper, but rather focus on the rapper's impact on black culture.
McCune—an associate professor in the African and African-American Studies and the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies departments—explained the new course to Time, seeing it as a "good way to get students to connect issues of politics, race, gender, sexuality and culture."
"I always wanted to teach a course looking at black genius and the impossibility of black genius for the American public," McCune explained of his long term idea for the course. "We're always thought of as maybe being articulate or smart but not really genius."
He continued, "Hip-hop is a way to show our creative genius. Kanye really uses hip-hop as a vehicle to display all of his talents, albeit some better than others."
McCune says he understands the public's view on the controversial rapper, which is all the more reason to dive deeper into his character.
"Many people spend a lot of time talking about Kanye as a controversial and somewhat hot-headed figure," McCune said. "They're very interested in Kanye West as a source of personality. Throughout his career, he has always interested me—his sense of black excellence, his belief that we have within us the capacity for greatness."

"I know for Kanye that has translated as narcissism and arrogance," he continued, noting that it's also, "A healthy dose of confidence and investment in black excellence that translates to so many people, and young people in particular."
Not to mention, McCune explains that many of the rapper's most controversial moments actually "embodied multiple fears of black life"—like when he famously said former President George W. Bush didn't care about black people following Hurricane Katrina.
Thus, he's created a 14-week course with a syllabus that explores that notion with topics like: "Who is Kanye West and Why Is He in the Flashing Lights?" and "Touch the Sky, When the Aspirant Turns Genius" as well as "I Love Kanye, or How Critique Slips Into Hate."
And you better believe there will be a lesson in "The Swift Moment," discussing how Kanye's feud with Taylor Swift has impacted his reputation.
Overall, Kanye is one of the biggest names in pop culture right now. So McCune asks, why not learn from his success?
"I knew my students had connections to Kanye. They're always referencing his music and performances and videos and fashion," McCune said. "What better time than now to take seriously Kanye West as a cultural icon? I'm always interested in how he's pushing whatever boundaries."

Last night I drank a bottle of wine over the course of watching "Top Chef: Texas", "The Daily Show", and "The Golden Girls". Nothing big. To me it was one, insignificant bottle of affordable chardonnay that gave me a comfortable buzz and would be forgotten by breakfast.
The first warning sign that something was amiss was that "breakfast" came at 6 AM, when I bolted up wide awake with no alarm. Since my coffee was set to be brewed at 8:15, until then I found myself in a no man's land of odd TV programming and even weirder status updates. Who *starts* watching a movie at 4 AM, and then throws that info on Facebook? At 4 AM, I would expect myself to be posting much more colorful status updates. And they're usually the ones I have the good sense to delete before anyone besides the smattering of responsible morning people can ever see them.
The worst part about all this was the insane and–dare I say–disproportionate hangover I was experiencing. I repeat: ONE bottle of wine, and I felt like I had cleaned out half the liquor cabinet and floated Jaegermeister for another financial quarter. Granted that happens sometimes…but this was not a dramatic breakup. Or Christmas. Or Flag Day. It was just 750 mL of wine on a Wednesday night.
My original plan was to go to the gym like I always do, and put in a good 1 ½-2 hour workout to get me jazzed for the rest of the day. However, the hangover had me over a barrel, and I'd never worked out with one before. I decided to see if it was even possible. I Googled "Can you exercise with a hangover?" and found an article from Men's Health that addressed the issue. Setting aside the fact I was starting to feel like a massive douche just by reading this article in the first place, I pressed on. Apparently, you can, and according to one trainer, it can actually be a hangover cure. I was sold. I loathe making up excuses and how bad could it be?
The drive to the gym went well, and I thought I could feel myself returning to normal when my friend texted me a hugely embarrassing incident he had just endured. I felt as if laughing out loud at his unfortunate situation had jump started the endorphin flow, and I was quite thankful for that. Sorry, Eric.
I could tell I would be dragging ass, but the hour ahead didn't seem terribly insurmountable. In fact, the worst part about getting started was this man and woman who had clearly just met, and were having one of those tacky "gym pickup" conversations. They were just standing right in front of the towels, not moving or paying attention to anyone, so I had to sort of duck around them to get what I needed. It was then I heard the guy drop the words "Bulls" and "Michael Jordan" while she enthusiastically nodded her head. That topic seemed awfully outdated. One long patented Nathan Eye Roll later, I was on the treadmill.
I set up shop between an old man who was leisurely walking, and an Asian lady who was just absolutely killing it; I did so because this was my only option, unless I wanted to be too far away from the TVs to watch "The View" on mute. One click of the iPod later, and I'd begun my hungover workout with A-Ha's "Take On Me" and all the optimism in the world.
Trouble began almost immediately. Five minutes in, and I'd accidentally hit the emergency stop button with my uncharacteristically flailing hands. A minor inconvenience, it could happen to anyone. I made note of the 40 calories I'd burned and reset the program for 60 minutes. Or so I thought. Six minutes later, and I realized I forgot to hit the "0" after the 6. OK…so I'm a little off. I made note of the additional 50 calories I'd burned, and set the program for the third time.
As someone who can power walk 7 or 8 miles a day with ease and has been exercising consistently for over a year, I started to feel like I was coming across as a moronic newbie to my fellow gym patrons. I even felt obligated to explain the situation to the people around me so they wouldn't have that impression of me, but thankfully I didn't. I began sweating profusely and starting to feel dizzy.
Usually I zone out by a carefully selected combination of watching TV and listening to music, but the former was especially troublesome at this time. I wasn't sure if it was for real or the hangover playing tricks on me, but even with Will.I.Am riding an elephant on the moon in a music video, the strangest thing on the televisions had to be Dr. Oz standing in front of a huge screen that boldly read: "HAIRY NIPPLES". Squinting, I realized that this was indeed for real. Some lady in the audience giddily bounced onstage and started putting on a lab coat. I swear to God, they *must* be paying these people; who in the hell would go on national TV to be Dr. Oz's lab assistant for the "hairy nipples" segment without some sort of suitable compensation? I made a mental note to research this more fully in my spare time.
The segment was distracting, but not distracting enough to hide the fact that I was not power walking, but slogging away while dripping like I'd been sprayed with a garden hose for good measure. The Asian lady hadn't even broken a sweat, and the old fart next to me had traded up to a light jog and was kicking my ass. Meanwhile, I was still in warm-up speed and about ready to faint on the spot. I had these awful visions of blacking out while watching Whoopi, and then waking up to the hot guy trainers gently slapping my face awake while they also realize I was two songs into the "Pretty Woman" soundtrack. This shit couldn't go on. I cut my losses and hit the Stop button, this time on purpose.
I name my running accomplishments after celebrities. For example, 7 miles is a "Katie Holmes" (Joan Rivers said Katie runs 7 miles a day, and "almost makes it to the gate to escape"), and 8 miles is an "Eminem" (after the movie). How many miles did I get hungover? A whopping 0.99. Dumbfounded, I decided to name that distance after some fat celebrity, and it's still officially a toss-up between Val Kilmer and Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife. The absolute worst part was that as I was leaving, that couple was STILL standing by the towels. I hadn't even run long enough to outlast an insipid, ridiculous, straight- person gym conversation. The shame was palpable.
As I entered the locker room, heaving and sweating as if I'd rolled a giant boulder up Mt. Everest in Hell, I finally came to a conclusion. Wine may be a lot of things: icebreaker, dinner companion, and therapist…but it was definitely the shittiest workout buddy one could ask for.
F*ck you, Yellow Tail; you're not invited back to the gym with me ever again. I'll take back that 7-day visitor's pass now, thank you very much.

I feel that I married a soul mate. Everything was close enough to perfect and I have been crazy about her for over 20 years of marriage. Here it is...the BUT.... Sometimes things change. A couple years ago I was blind sided with an event and haven't felt the same since. I still believe in soul mates...just not one. Hopefully I'll find another before I end this ride called life.
Yes, I have met my soulmate and, yes, he is out there somewhere. The connection between us is very precious and very rare. Though we are not together, I think about my soulmate every moment of every day. My advice to all -- if you are ever blessed with a soulmate -- never let them go.
I am in the exactly same situation as you... I am never letting him go as my best friend. We both want to go a step further but being 600 miles apart, it is not possible. I told him I was not going to wait for him, but a part of me always will. Do you feel the same? Isn't it hard? The night I go to sleep in his arms and wake up there, that would be the first day of the rest of my life. I am just hoping that will happen much sooner than expected, if ever? :/
We both confirmed it is us who are soulmates... However, we are not fortunate enough to be able to spend every day of our lives together yet. We talk everyday but I am still waiting for the first day of the rest of my life when I go to sleep and wake up in his arms.

We have known each other for nearly 30 years but we realized it is US a few years ago. We never were intimate, so you do not have to have sex to know. We just clicked ever since Day One and we have been the bestEST friends always.

Your true love isn't always your soulmate.

Your soulmate is ALWAYS your true love.
I have met my soulmate/ twin soul he is amazing. Trust me when you meet them you will know. I always kinda of believed. But until this happened I had no idea. It's like the sun shines over both of you. You feel what they feel. You are connected spiritually. You will know when it hits you.
I probably do, but I expect she has the good sense to avoid me.
It's an over-used term, I think. But I have to believe that there's someone, somewhere. There's all kinds of people out there.
I believe she is out there somewhere. I hope i find her before i die of old age.
I have but I don't know if he likes me but I have a MAJOR crush on him.
There are many soul mates out there for each of us. But none of them are perfect. All you can ever really hope for is someone decent, who will love you unconditionally, treat you with respect and devote themselves to you.
I have met my soulmate, and to the person who said this is an idiotic idea, I guess i am another happy idiot, but all I know is that there are plenty of women out there that I could live with and be happy and content, but I met a woman 20 years ago, that I positively can't live without. I married her 17 years ago, and I DO consider her to be my soulmate.
Because of what I previously said about knowing many women I could live with, but only one I can't live without. Over our 20 years together, we have had our ups and downs like all relationships do, but with her I could never see myself ending it, for any reason. Our love is on a higher plain than I ever imagined existed. For me I just seem to know in my heart and soul, that this was the woman I was destined to be with, and trust me I am not one of those "read my fortune" or "while I was chatting with myself in my past life I crawled from my own womb and rode a unicorn" kind of guy....But everything logical went out the window when I met my wife.. Hope someone understands what I mean, and I hope you get to experience what I feel someday!
No. I'm not going to waste my life looking for some broad that doesn't exist.
I believe in soulmates sure, I bet I have like 1,000s of them walking around out there, the world is huge.

It is idiotic for the people who believe there is ONE person out there for you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... If thats true you probably would never find them!
I know the woman I was ment to love, is that a soul mate?
I hope I find a soul mate otherwise my family tree will have a branch from me.
I knew I met my soulmate the moment our eyes met. I never had a doubt about it. I felt as though I knew him before. A brother, a lover, a friend. I doubt he sensed this. He had a lot of things going on in his life at the time. We remained friends for years, all the while moving on with our own personal lives. Then, one beautiful summer, there was magic between us. A magic that would grow years later. I would never have believed it but soulmates find each other. One does not seek him or her out.

1964 Gus Triandos Philadelphia Phillies Home Jersey
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $1,540.50
Philadelphia Phillies home jersey worn by catcher Gus Triandos during the club's infamous 1964 season. Graded A9 by MEARS. The white pinstripe jersey is lettered "Phillies" across the front and features the number "9" on the reverse. All letters and numerals are embroidered in red. The name "Triandos" is chain-stitched in black upon a white strip tag in the collar. Located on the left front tail are a "Wilson 46" label and a white strip tag with the year, "1964," chain-stitched in black. The jersey is original as issued, with no alterations, and displays heavy wear, including light staining throughout, a small tear on the reverse, and broken stitching in both the collar and on the front of the jersey. 1964 was Triandos' only season with Philadelphia and he couldn't have picked a more fateful year to play in the City of Brotherly Love. In what is considered one of the greatest collapses in baseball history, the Phillies squandered a six-and-a-half game lead with twelve games to play by losing their next ten straight games, thereby ultimately allowing the Cardinals to overtake them on the last day of the season and win the pennant. Although the finale was painful, Triandos did enjoy a bit of satisfaction that season when he caught Jim Bunning's no-hitter against the Mets at Shea Stadium on August 9th. Triandos appeared in seventy-three games in 1964, finishing the year with 8 home runs, 33 RBI, and a .250 batting average. Graded A9 by MEARS (base grade of 10, but minus 1 point for the tiny hole on the reverse and the broken stitching). This is an outstanding Philadelphia Phillies home jersey dating to one of the most forgettable seasons in team history. LOA from Troy Kinunen/MEARS. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,500+. SOLD FOR $1,540.50

February is Black History Month
Celebrating Black History began in 1926, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a Harvard Ph.D., initiated "Negro History Week." Dr. Woodson, a historian, chose the second week in February because it included the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, the Bicentennial (200th birthday) of the United States of America, the week-long observance was extended to the entire month of February in order to have enough time for celebratory programs and activities. Please see our book display in honor of Black History Month in front of the main staircase.

Historic Hamden Town Buildings Display
Come to Miller Memorial Library during January 2014 to see a beautiful display with replicas of historic buildings in Hamden. These replicas were completed in clay by a range of students at Hamden Collaborative Learning Center (HCLC). HCLC is Hamden's alternate secondary school and is now located at 306 Circular Ave. It is under the direction of Jon Pearce, Coordinator of Alternative Education. It services students grades 7 through 12.The Hamden slab city project was designed to align with the district's initiative to improve student's writing. In Hamden Public Schools nonfiction writing is now required in every subject.The cross curriculum project was designed to build knowledge through content rich nonfiction and informational text. Students researched a historical town building of their choice, then analyzed and wrote a summary of its history. They identified architectural details with periods of history. Students then constructed a replica of the face of their buildings. The results created scaled graphite elevations with drafting teacher Bernie St. George and a "Slab City" of Hamden's Historical Buildings with art teacher Cathy Teulings.

Dinesh D'Souza On ID
IN yesterday's The Failure of "Intelligent Design" (don't dare forget those quotes!) Dinesh D'Souza declares biological ID a failure. He makes it clear that he agrees with anthropic-physics ID, but not design-of-adaptation ID.
William Dembski has already spoken well on this article, but I'd like to add a few comments of my own.
[T]hese narrow-minded Christians opposed Copernicus and Galileo until they were forced to admit that they were wrong. It wasn't the Bible that was mistaken; it was the foolish certainty of its interpreters that was exposed and discredited.
Today some Christians may be heading down the same path with their embrace of "intelligent design" or ID.
I should thank D'Souza, at least, for saying, "may be heading," instead of "are heading." But still, the essential arguments he makes here are that: (1) the scientific validity of ID should be evaluated by the religious motivations of the majority of its proponents, not by the scientific content of its arguments, and (2) when Christians (or groups that are predominantly Christian) oppose the assertions of a majority of scientists, they're certain to be wrong. That's an odd argument for a self-proclaimed Christian to be making, to say the least.
And by the way... what were the overwhelming majority of scientists teaching before Copernicus and Galileo??
Ben Stein's movie "Expelled" provides horror stories to show that the case for ID as well as critiques of evolution from an ID perspective are routinely excluded or censored in the halls of academe.
Imagine that a group of advocates challenged Einstein's theories of general and special relativity. Let's say that this group, made up of a law professor, a couple of physicists, several journalists, as well as some divinity school graduates, flatly denies Einstein's proposition that e=mc2.
The academic treatment of Darwin dissenters, as exposed in Expelled, sounds very similar to the conditions described by D'Souza in his fame-founding book, Illiberal Education. Mightn't D'Souza be expected to recognize that such conditions have a profound chilling effect on the willingness of credentialed professionals to speak out in favor of ID, leaving only a brave few? Instead, he describes these few as if their small and motley nature is indicative of their incorrectness.
Unsurprisingly, D'Souza chooses Einstein's least doubtful proposition, e = mc2, for his purported ID analogues to oppose. Do all of Einstein's other propositions follow as a matter of logical necessity from e = mc2? Hardly. His relativity theory is a hodge-podge of claims, varying from confirmed beyond a reasonable doubt, to largely unconfirmed conjecture. And he was famously wrong in his prediction of a constant-sized, ageless universe. The take-home lesson is that ultra-famous theorists like Einstein and Darwin should not be made into enshrined fountains of unchallengable truth. Each assertion they made should be evaluated separately, and scientifically.
The problem with evolution is not that it is unscientific but that it is routinely taught in textbooks and in the classroom in an atheist way. ...
Most Christians don't care whether the eye evolved by natural selection ...
Scientists, and science-minded people, do care whether the eye evolved by natural selection. It's called scientific curiosity.
D'Souza can embrace anthropic-physics ID because it doesn't conflict with Christianity's uncedable claims of a singular, omniscient creator. But design-of-adaptation ID isn't so neutral.
Sooner or later, if you're a committed Christian you're going to have to go against design-of-adaptation ID, as does D'Souza. Not only does it fail to point towards Christianity, in fact — despite valiant attempts by current ID leaders to avoid noticing so — it points sharply away from all moralistic religion.

Contractors can take advantage of a wide array of heavy equipment rentals to make their projects more productive as well as cost-effective. By renting items such as forklifts, it is possible to quickly and easily handle a variety of tasks without the need to invest a lot of capital in purchasing a piece of equipment you may only need on a temporary basis. Since they were first introduced during the early part of the 20th century, forklifts have transformed the way in which heavy items are loaded and unloaded as well as transported. Today, there are numerous different types of forklifts, each of which is designed to offer a different function.
Along with forklifts that are designed specifically for material handling, there are also reach forklifts for rent. Material handling forklifts are typically used for maneuvering on hard surfaces, most commonly in warehouses. When renting a forklift, it is important to think about the capacity you will need for the task at hand. Two of the most common types of forklifts include 3,500-capacity models and 5,000-pound capacity forklifts. If you need a forklift to operate over rough terrain or you need to reach a high project, you may wish to consider a reach forklift or telegrapher forklift. With a lift capacity of up to 5,500 pounds and four-wheel steering, this type of Texas equipment rental can help you to easily complete your project.

Beautiful natural soaps made in the Connecticut River Valley, it's a hostess gift all set to go. The soaps are scented with 100% natural essential and frangrance oils. In order to use these you must unwind and relax a bit, and that's a good thing.
Thanks Ann! Check out our soaps at Annie Mame shop near the shore in Madison, CT. Ann supports Connecticut small business and entrepreneurs, making the community stronger and more united.
I have tried Doss soaps not only are they beautifully unique they make your skin feel great. I will definitely stop by to check out your shop. I love supporting local artists and business as well.
Mary, thanks I have her ocean soap in my bathroom and I love how it smells too.
I have tried several of the soaps from Doss Soaps and have found them to be smooth and fragrant and relaxing to use. They don't leave a film on my body like other soaps can and having them be all natural is an added bonus. I definitely recommend trying Doss Soaps!

Re: Comic-Con: Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Announced
Really? MvC3 is where characters feel most different IMO. MK (still a very good game though) is the game where there is almost no differentiation in fighting styles, size and speed between the characters. But I do agree that the game generally does boil down to rushing down with most characters.
This will be a great game but really, all of this should have already been included in Mv3. There was no reason not to (other than to gouge customers). Mv3, while a good game, was way too bare-bones in terms of features to be worth the full price.
- Nemesis and Vergil are crappy new character choices. With all the games Capcom has, do we really need 4 characters from the Resident Evil series and 3 from DMC? Those spots could have been used on more interesting choices.
- Firebrand is an interesting one though. Demon's Crest was a great game.
- Doctor Strange and Rocket Raccoon are great character choices too.

DALLAS -- Gal Mekel wanted to come out of his first NBA training camp at least as the backup point guard for the Dallas Mavericks.
"First, that was my realistic goal,'' the rookie from Israel said. "After summer league and starting the (training) camp, I'm happy with where I'm standing right now.''
With injuries to Devin Harris (toe) and rookie Shane Larkin (ankle), Mekel will enter Wednesday's regular season opener against the Atlanta Hawks as the backup point guard to Jose Calderon.
The Mavs (4-3) conclude preseason play at 7:30 tonight at American Airlines Center against the Indiana Pacers (2-5). Mekel, meanwhile, is anxious for the regular season to begin.
"Until now the preseason is the previews to the real movie,'' he said. "The real movies start on Wednesday.
"We have another one today to see where we stand. I'm really excited and looking forward for Wednesday.''

(San Francisco, CA) — Just hours after an arrest warrant was issued, the California motorcycle gang member accused of killing a Hells Angels chapter president has been taken into custody. University of California San Francisco police have detained 53-year-old Ernesto Manuel Gonzalez, until police in Sparks can question him. Gonzales was arrested last night near the campus police headquarters. He's accused of killing Jeffrey "Jethro" Pettigrew, the president of the San Jose chapter, during Sparks' Street Vibrations
event last Friday.

Shin-Soo Choo got his 5th plunk of the year in last night's game against Minnesota, tying him with the league lead with Minnesota outfielder Josh Willingham. That HBP was also the 4100th plunk in Cleveland Indians history.
Francisco Cordero of the Blue Jays hit Rays infielder Will Rhymes, making that the 100th time the Jays have hit the Rays with a pitch. That was Rhymes' first career HBP, after 352 plunk free plate appearances.
Russell Martin picked up the 40th plunk of his career, making him the 4th player born in Ontario Canada to reach that mark. He's tied for 3rd place in Ontario history with Jack Graney.

Today's Armchair BEA post is about nurturing book blogging relationships. As much as I love writing reviews and talking about books, I think I would have lost interest in book blogging a long time ago, if it wasn't for the community that we enjoy as book bloggers. The book blogosphere has gotten absolutely huge, with new bloggers every day that I haven't encountered, and yet there are a few that have become more than just blogging colleagues, they have become friends. Through blog comments, conversations on Twitter, and e-mails, we have gotten to know so much more about each other than just what books we like to read. This was especially evident to me last summer, when Natalie was in the hospital, and I received such warm encouragement, prayers, and kind words.
I am honored to call these book bloggers my friends.
Natasha (Vasilly) at 1330v – She continually challenges me to read outside my comfort zone, and I love chatting with her on Twitter about our lives.
Megan at Posey Sessions – Megan seems to be on a long sabbatical from the online world, and I miss her!
Kelly at The Written World – Kelly and I have gotten to know each other over the past year or so via chatty e-mails about the things that are going on in our lives beyond books.
Wendy at Musings of a Bookish Kitty – I recently rejoiced with Wendy as she and her husband welcomed little Mouse, their first child, into the world. My day is always brighter when an e-mail from Wendy shows up in my inbox.
Sandy at You've Gotta Read This – Sandy and I have kids in similar stages of life, and so can commiserate on the joys and hardships of watching our kids grow up.
Bryan at Unfinished Person – Bryan is always good for snarky and sarcastic conversations on Twitter and Facebook, and shares my Netflix addiction.
Of course, there are many other bloggers who also give my life depth and joy – and they are listed on my blogroll.

I recently got back into Warhammer 40k after a long hiatus (last edition I played was 4th) and decided to start a Tau army. A friend of mine chose Space Marines for his army and we are going to be building our army nice and slowly and get some games in at our FLGS. We decided to start with a 750 points list.
I bought the following boxes:
- Start Collecting Tau
- Battleforce Tau Empire
- Kill Team
So these are the models available to me (and I don't plan on getting anything anytime soon, other than maybe a second team of stealth suits to field the Optimized Stealth Cadre formation)
- 1 Crisis Commander
- 3 Crisis Suits
- 1 Ethereal
- 20 Firewarriors
- 10 Pathfinders
- 3 Stealth Suits
- 1 Devilfish
- 1 Broadside Suit
- 1 Ghostkeel Suit
- 6 Drones ? (don't know how many exactly, I havent put them together yet)
- 3 Crisis Suits
- 1 Ethereal
- 20 Firewarriors
- 10 Pathfinders
- 3 Stealth Suits
- 1 Devilfish
- 1 Broadside Suit
- 1 Ghostkeel Suit
- 6 Drones ? (don't know how many exactly, I havent put them together yet)
My goal is to get a solid (kind of) all comers list that isnt a cheese fest but it should be optimized in what it uses.
I'm not the biggest fan of "Pacific Rim" style lists that only uses the minimum amount of troops and then goes right to the Riptides and Stormsurges.
As I was out of the loop for quite some time, I cant really say HOW I want to accomplish winning with the units I have at my disposal. I only studied the codex, reddit and ATT for some inspiration to come up with a draft of my 750pts list. So this is where I would need the most help from my fellow (veteran) Tau players, as studying codices does not prepare you for the real battles.
Enough with the jibber jabber, here is the draft of my first list:
Combined Arms Detachment (749pts)
HQ - Ethereal (50pts)
ELITES - XV8 Crisis Battlesuits (52pts)
1x Crisis Shas'ui [2x Fusion Blaster]
ELITES - XV8 Crisis Battlesuits (52pts)
1x Crisis Shas'ui [2x Cyclic Ion Blaster]
ELITES - XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuits (180pts)
1x Ghostkeel Shas'vre [Cyclic Ion Raker, Early Warning Override, Stimulant Injector, Twin-linked Fusion Blaster]
TROOPS - Strike Team (200pts)
10x Fire Warrior with Pulse Rifle
1x TY7 Devilfish [Disruption Pod, Sensor Spines, Twin-linked Smart Missile System]
TROOPS - Strike Team (45pts)
5x Fire Warrior with Pulse Rifle
TROOPS - Strike Team (45pts)
5x Fire Warrior with Pulse Rifle
FAST ATTACK - Pathfinder Team (55pts)
5x Pathfinder
HEAVY SUPPORT - XV88 Broadside Battlesuits (70pts)
1x Broadside [Early Warning Override, Twin-linked High-Yield Missile Pod, Twin-linked Smart Missile System]
My train of thought about what I put into this list:
The Ethereal joins the 10man strike team in the devilfish and unloads 30x S5AP5 shots into whatever needs to die, preferrably backed up by some markerlights to make every shot count.
The other two 5 man strike teams hold objectives.
The Broadside obviously sits back, tries to intercept deep striking units if possible and maybe even hold an objective while doing that.
The single Crisis suit teams deep strike where I need them to dispose of tanks or whatever I need blown up.
And the Ghostkeel will (hopefully) function as some kind of bullet sponge (as most MCs are, if what I read everywhere is right) and dish out some pain to whatever needs to die.
EDIT: I don't know if the 10 man strike team or a 10 man breacher team would be best to use with the ethereal. Any input on experiences with that would be greatly appreciated.
I would appreciate any input/criticism on my list and/or train of thought. If what I put together in my head will most likely not happen on the table or if there are any mistakes in my thinking, please let me know. I can handle any criticism, I just want to know what works/doesnt work and why.
If I made any mistakes regarding formatting or anything else, please let me know and I will fix them ASAP.

One tool the city is encouraging residents use to provide feedback to the city is the Budget-in-a-Box. Similar to the Meeting-in-a-Box, a tool the city used to gather feedback about the Imagine Austin plan, the Budget-in-a-Box tool is designed for a group of five to 10 people and includes material about city services and ways for participants to provide feedback about what their service priorities are and about the city's tax rate.

Our Bees
Bees are the news these days. Either we are told that our food supply is threatened because honeybee pollinators are dying off. Or we hear about "Africanized" honeybees that are attacking and stinging people, sometimes to death. So are the bees our friends or our enemies? They are our friends, but they can be enemies, too, if we don't pay attention to them and learn how to coexist with them.
There are several kinds of bees in southern Arizona. Each one has its crucial ecological role in pollinating both native desert plants and our garden fruits and vegetables. Africanized honeybees are among the important pollinators so we want them in our gardens. But Africanized bees can become quite aggressive if they think their home colony is under attack. Africanized bees are responsible for several attacks on people in southern Arizona in recent weeks that have led to hospitalizations and one death.
"Africanized" means that our more passive native honeybees have mixed genes with African bees which were introduced into Brazil a half a century ago. By 1990, African bees had made their way north to the U.S. Now almost all feral (wild) honeybees in the American Southwest are Africanized and they are not going away.
"We have to learn to live with Africanized bees, mainly by being educated and alert to them and responding sensibly when encountering or attacked by one or more bees," says Dr. Justin O. Schmidt of the Southwest Biological Center and University of Arizona's Entomology Department.
Our food plants, in particular, need the honeybees to produce fruits and vegetables. But nationwide honeybees are in decline. Beekeepers began noticing in 2006 that honeybee populations were disappearing from their colonies. This phenomenon was named "colony collapse disorder." The disorder is considered a real threat to U.S. agriculture. Since 2006, one-third of all American honeybees have disappeared. A recent federal research report found that there are many causes for the disorder but residual pesticides are a prime suspect. Because honeybees pollinate everything from apples to zucchini, their disappearance is having a negative impact on American agriculture. Already the U.S. imports up to 35% of our fruits and vegetables. Some experts fear that we will be forced to import all of our fruits and veggies if honeybees continue to die off.
What can Tucsonans do to help our pollinating honeybees? Emily Rockey, Curator of Horticulture at Tucson Botanical Gardens, recommends planting those native legumes (bean producing) trees we know so well – mesquite, palo verde, ironwood, etc. Also popular with the bees are flowering plants in the Asteraceae family. Examples are asters, daisies, and sunflowers.
"Bees like mint and rosemary, too, and they are attracted especially to blue, white, and yellow flowers," adds Rockey.
Keep in mind that when collecting pollen, honeybees are away from their colonies and are not typically aggressive. The honeybees in the photo above are very likely Africanized. They were far more interested in the sunflower pollen than in the photographer taking their picture.
Rockey says that Tucson Botanical Gardens are "quite a bee hub" for several species of bees, including those Africanized honey bees. "I can't remember the last time anyone was even stung here," says Rockey. "We've had maybe five swarms come through, and a couple attempted to stay permanently." She says those swarms were relocated from the gardens.
Yet multiple bee attacks occur every year in southern Arizona. What can you do to avoid being attacked by angry bees?
Africanized bees only attack when they think their home colony is threatened, says Dr. Schmidt. When worker bees are away from the colony and collecting pollen, they are non-aggressive, he adds. Even swarms of Africanized bees in transition to a new colony site are not very aggressive. But it's a different story if they think you are disturbing their home colony.
Avoid triggering the bees which might think you are threatening their colony or their "baby bedroom" as Dr. Schmidt calls the colony. Avoid wearing artificial fragrances or dark clothes and using shiny objects when around bees. Don't make loud noises either because that just gets their attention. Never poke a hive with a stick. Dr. Schmidt recommends, too, that you unplug your music when out hiking so you can listen for loud buzzing sounds. If you hear or see large numbers of bees, then quickly head the other way!
Greg Denker of American Bee Control in Tucson takes a proactive approach. "Paying attention is good, but I think not really enough," Denker says. "To be safe from bees, one needs to be on the lookout for bees that have established a colony.Bees become dangerous to mammals only when the bee colony is either very large or when there are a lot of babies on board. Bees are very protective of their young, like a mother bear protecting her cub.Identifying hive locations (for example when a feral colony has taken up residence in an attic or shed) can help homeowners take proactive measures to have the bees removed before they become a threat or other unnecessary nuisance."
Denker explains that a hive or colony "can almost always be identified by the aerial stream of bees" that are entering or exiting a location. He says the flight activity is "most easily seen in the late afternoon when the sun is low in the sky thus easier for humans to see the reflected glint of the flapping wings."
"In my experience," adds Denker, "when bees 'attack' a porch light, or other outside light at night, it typically means there is an active colony within 200 feet, and the entrance to the hive has line-of-sight view of the light bulb. That's when you need to call in the pros to remove the hive."
What do you do when you find yourself the object of negative attention from some angry bees?
Don't freeze in place and start swatting. Run! Run away from the bees, preferably into the wind, because a healthy adult can outrun a swarm of bees. Try to protect your head and face, even if it means pulling your shirt up around your face. Seek shelter indoors in a building or a car as quickly as possible. Don't jump into water. The bees will just hover above the water's surface waiting for you to come up for air. Once inside shelter, call for emergency help. Seek medical assistance if you have been stung repeatedly.
By learning more about the bees and taking action before there is a problem, we can learn to coexist successfully with our Africanized honeybees.

Proud to have a story featured in the July issue of foster care alumni Chris Chmielewski's Foster Focus Magazine, the nation's only monthly magazine devoted to foster care.
In June 2004, my adopted daughter Rose received not one, not two, but three letters of commendation from United States senators. "It has come to my attention that you have been selected to participate in the 2004 Youth Leadership Forum… This outstanding achievement demonstrates your proactive attitude towards your education," wrote Senator Ron Wyden. "I believe there is nothing more valuable than a good education. Your impressive record indicates you share that view."
To appreciate my (then) foster daughter's accomplishment, one must consider how little others expected of her when she was young. Read the rest of the story at Foster Focus, July 2014

Let's say there's a row of beautiful movie theaters, and the marquee of each one reads, "New film by (name of filmmaker here)." And let's say there's no other information about the film itself. Which one would you choose?
We offered this dilemma to some notable performers and filmmakers, asking the question: "If you could see a new movie by any living filmmaker — and not know anything about the movie beforehand — whose would you choose?"
Here's how they responded:
Judd Apatow (director, "This Is 40," "Knocked Up"): "I am always excited to see a new film by Peter Weir ('The Truman Show,' 'Witness'). His work is always thoughtful, emotional and challenging. All of his movies are great, every single one of them."
Jason Isaacs (actor, the "Harry Potter" series, "The Patriot"): "Rodrigo Garcia ('Mother and Child,' 'Nine Lives'). He's a magnificent, beautiful writer."
Fred Armisen (actor, "Saturday Night Live," "Portlandia"): "John Waters ('Hairspray,' 'Pink Flamingos'). He's got a theme running through all of his movies, and I want to see the next chapter of that."
Sofia Coppola (director, "The Bling Ring," "Lost in Translation"): "Jane Campion ('The Piano,' 'Top of the Lake'). I love her work and haven't seen anything recently."
Mads Mikkelsen (actor, "Hannibal," "Casino Royale"): "I've got to say Martin Scorsese ('Good Fellas,' 'Taxi Driver'). He opened up my eyes to a whole different way of making film. I'd grown up with these action films, and all of a sudden, I saw a lot of human beings running around in there, and I was so fascinated. He's been a big inspiration to me."
Wayne Blair (director, "The Sapphires"): "For me, it would be Spike Lee ('Do the Right Thing,' 'Malcolm X'). I know the film would be thought-provoking — not in a commercial way but in a social way."
Emily Mortimer (actress, "The Newsroom," "Lovely & Amazing"): "Martin Scorsese or Pedro Almodovar ('Talk to Her,' 'Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown').
I think both of them manage to combine a kind of fresh, exciting, radical eye with the old glamour of moviemaking. So watching their movies, you feel both excited and challenged."
Alessandro Niviola (actor, "Ginger & Rosa," "Face/ Off"): "Ken Loach ('The Wind That Shakes the Barley,' 'Riff-Raff'). I just watched 'Kes' (1969), and it's my new favorite movie. He's (76) years old now, and I think he's got a few more in him."
Daniel Radcliffe (actor, "Harry Potter" series, "The Woman in Black"): "I'm a big Chris Nolan ('The Dark Night,' 'Inception') fan. I think he's kind of amazing."
Chris Tucker (actor, "Silver Linings Playbook," "Rush Hour"): "Always Steven Spielberg ('Lincoln,' 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial') or David O. Russell ('The Silver Linings Playbook,' 'The Fighter'). Those guys are great."
Paul Rudd (actor, "Admission," "This Is 40"): "It's a big list. It's a really big list. It's just too many. I want to see anything Jonathan Demme does or Quentin Tarantino. Mike Leigh. Albert Brooks. There's just too many to name."
Naomi Watts (actress, "The Impossible," "Mulholland Drive") and Liev Schreiber (actor, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"; director, "Everything Is Illuminated"): Schreiber: "(Michael) Haneke ('Amour,' 'Funny Games')."
Watts: "Yeah, let's see his. Oh, my God, that's a good answer."
Schreiber: "He's always doing something progressive. He's always doing something interesting."
Harvey Weinstein (co-chairman, the Weinstein Co.): "Tarantino ('Django Unchained,' 'Pulp Fiction'). Scorsese next. Spielberg third. You know what? All of them together."

Youngstown police and the Mahoning Valley Crisis Response Team surrounded a house on Glacierview Drive in Youngstown and arrested a man inside.
A call came in to police around noon Sunday of shots fired in the area. Police arrived on the scene and discovered people standing outside the house at 545 Glacierview Dr. Witnesses said Wallace Heck discharged a handgun inside the house, shooting at the floor. The people inside the house were able to leave and call police.
Police and the CRT surrounded the house and established communication with the suspect. A short time later he came out with his hands up.
"Our negotiators were able to reach him on a cell phone and just explain to him what was going on. He agreed to just come out," said Commander John Elberty. "Everything was no problem, there was no incident with the arrest. He came out with complete and total compliance."
The man was arrested and taken to Saint Elizabeth Health Center for an evaluation.

Point One: This will have nothing to do with EU regulators because Apple does not have a dominant position in the market.
See above.
Point Two: Even if Apple did have a dominant position in the market, it still would not fall under the jurisdiction of the EU regulators because Apple makes the hardware and the software; it does not build software for OEM phones. Therefore, the market is not the iPhone; the iPhone is in the same market as Android, WinPhone etc...
What then was wrong with Microsoft bundling WMP with Windows? After all the market wasn't Windows - you could just have installed Linux. Or uninstalled WMP. Similarly for IE. What about Google's alleged manipulation of search results - you could just have used Bing? Surely actively preventing a competitors software functioning on an important and major platform is far, far worse than using a major platform of your own to promote your own products? (Of course I'm no anti trust lawyer... but if this isn't the law it should be.)
(If one were cynical one might think that Apple is trying to push custom towards iCloud...)
All MS has to do is what everyone else does: run the signup outside the Apple store.
No You're not allowed to link to outside webpages when money is potentially involved. You can buy SkyDrive subscriptions from the SkyDrive website therefore the app cannot link to the SkyDrive website. And I really doubt MS can be bothered to bring the live ID sign up process into an iOS app.

Even if this were possible, I'm not sure it would be wise. Hiking the price by 30% would probably raise their price above competitors such as Dropbox, in which case I'd just go for Dropbox.
As an interesting side note Dropbox have faced similar problems (and resolved the problem by removing the ability to sign up for an account from iOS app login page). Doesn't lead to a nice UX for first time users.
The apps mentioned in the articles used a non-native login and/or a sign up link that took the user outside the app. They were not rejected because they use Skydrive; they were rejected because they broke the app store rules. If they'd connected to their own in-house service they would have been rejected anyway.
There is, afaik, no other way to use SkyDrive. There was nothing inherent about what they did that broke the app store rules beyond, if you clicked through enough links from the sign in page, you could eventually arrive at a page at which you could make payments. And this does affect other services (dropbox, for instance). (Of course the fact that Apple offers their own competing service clearly can have NOTHING to do with this decision...)

Linear Diophantine Equations
Date: 11/27/97 at 15:12:50 From: Ulrich Richers Subject: Linear Diophantus Equations Recently my son's homework has included several problems with a number of linear equations smaller than the number of unknown parameter. All solutions had to be integer and greater than zero. I have a math book from East Germany with an example but without directions for how to get there. 3x - 2y -5 = 0 there are several solution pairs: x = 2t + 1 y = 3t - 1 How was the t-variable introduced, and what is the general method? Thank you and apologies for my rusty math, Ulrich Richers
Date: 11/27/97 at 19:24:08 From: Doctor Anthony Subject: Re: Linear Diophantus Equations Divide through 2, the smaller coefficient, and so 3x/2 - y = 5/2 x + x/2 - y = 2 + 1/2 x-y + (x-1)/2 = 2 .........(1) and so (x-1)/2 must be an integer, say t, and we get (x-1)/2 = t x-1 = 2t x = 2t + 1 Substitute this for x in (1) 2t+1 - y + t = 2 3t - 1 = y We therefore have x = 2t+1, y = 3t-1 where t is any integer. -Doctor Anthony, The Math Forum Check out our web site! http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

It's not your money as soon as it gets taken out in taxes. Sorry. It doesn't belong to you anymore.
Believe me, if that was the case you wouldn't have gotten my tax money to go kill people in the military.
There are plenty of hard working democrats and republicans who struggle to make ends meet without enrolling in the SNAP program regardless of how much the Federal govt. wants people to enroll.
Some hard workers are too proud to enroll and end up working three jobs just to put food on the table.
Then they go to the grocery store and get in line behind a customer with a buggy full of name brand items, body covered in expensive ink and talking on the latest i-phone/Obamaphone. Then they whip out their SNAP card to pay all to the dismay of the hard worker with a cart full of generics and a wallet light on cash in line behind them in line.
SNAP has become a way of life for people and its intent to cast a life line to those in need is long gone.
When food stamps were actually torn out of a little book of scrip people used to sell them for half the value to get cash in order to buy alcohol and cigarettes...
This woman was trying to buck the system by yelling the loudest. Common problem these days. I'm surprised that she failed to film herself...

The food stamp program is supposed to prevent starvation and malnutrition. Using it to buy junk food or luxuries is against the principle of the program. When I hit hard times, I ate rice and beans. She should do the same. One might suggest that her poor decision making process is one of the reasons she is in a hard spot in the first place.
Might be against the principle, but obviously is not against the choice, otherwise those items wouldn't be permitted under the guidelines. Why should she choose to eat rice & beans just because you chose to eat those items. Isn't that the same as her saying that you should choose to do what she does.. neither would be right, as even those who recieve these entitlements are still permitted their own freedoms of choice. Those rights aren't handed in simply because a person is collecting something from the state.
Perhaps some of her decisions have helped her to be where she is, maybe not. In any event I'm pretty sure that she would rather have functioning kidneys and the independance to not have the need to rely on Gov't. programs. She does qualify though, and should still be treated with dignity in the grocery store.
Third point: she is entitled to nothing. We, as a good-hearted nation, do not want to see anyone starve so we have elected to help people in need out, but it is an act of charity. She is not entitled to this charity.
She most certainly is entitled to the food stamp program, as it is not a charity, but an entitlement to those who are eligible to recieve.
Some of the same people who in other threads call these programs an entitlement, as if it's a filthy thing, but suddenly it's charity if you want to clarify that she isn't entitled
So funny. You call it an entitlement program, but whenever I do I'm what what.. I have an "entitlement mentality."
And you damn sure will tell me what I can buy? Try to. I'm not arrogant, I just haven't lost my self respect and dignity when I lost the use of my feet. I don't feel entitled, but obviously [under the program] I am. I'm entitled to collect my disability, I'm entitled to live in dignity and have respect for myself & others.
I would never dream of sitting at my computer and judging a person/s or telling them the things that you just said to me. But make no mistake-I can handle it, I've been told much worse by much better.
Again, if you don't like it than get a JOB!
…Then you would have gotten your butt kicked here at home. You should be thankful some people care more about their country than themselves and their handouts.
If you don't like it then move to a 3rd world country where there are no social programs and people are starving to death tough guy.
if you cared about the country you wouldn't have joined the current globalist military that mostly serves the military industrial complex and not the interests of the USA.
But anyways, it's crazy that a store manager acts all uppity. It's not like he's working at a Sachs Fifth Avenue store. It's KROGER.
What does any of this rant have to do with the topic?
What's even crazier is that the OP called him and elitist!!!
I was replying to your statements.

Some people are entitled to assistance but that assistance comes with RULES.
Spare me your phony indignation…..if you can dish it out than you should be able to take it.
Try to buy booze with food stamps and see what happens.
Anyone can be an elitist, like yourself. You feel you are better than other people because you served in the military.
You also feel you're better than people on food stamps, and that you should have the power to tell them what they can and cannot buy.
Alcoholic beverages, tobacco and hot ready to eat foods can not be bought with food stamps. You may not purchase canning jars, pet food or household items with food stamps.
And she was following the rules.
It isn't phony, and I can take it.
I don't collect food stamps, but even if I did, I don't drink. You're just way off point here and seem like you want to argue..I have no desire to do that. Nobody is saying anything about drinking or not following rules. I certainly never said as much.
Why should she choose to eat rice & beans just because you chose to eat those items. Isn't that the same as her saying that you should choose to do what she does.. neither would be right, as even those who recieve these entitlements are still permitted their own freedoms of choice.

One is not entitled to the earnings of another. Simple.

ISA International Sign Expo 2013 Wraps Up Successful Show
Alexandria, VA
United States
ISA International Sign Expo 2013 has closed as one for the record books. For the first time ever, the exhibit hall floor topped 202,000 square feet and was a total sell-out. Education attendance was significantly higher than in previous years, with many courses standing-room only. Overall attendance surpassed 2011 and 2012 figures and approached the all-time record with over 19,500 attendees.
The event, held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Convention Center in Las Vegas April 3-6, drew 593 exhibitors, a 7 percent increase over 2012. Nineteen companies comprised the new Dynamic Digital Sign Park, an area devoted to showcasing the latest in the rapidly expanding field of dynamic digital signage.
"No doubt about it: ISA International Sign Expo 2013 was a rousing success," said Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO. "The energy was extremely high and our industry is clearly on a path for growth. New opportunities and new ideas for business were literally at every turn."
Sign Expo kicked off with a day-long dynamic digital signage workshop, with top educators helping sign companies understand more about the opportunities in the field. In addition, dozens of leading architects and designers attended a dedicated educational track. Other new features for 2013 included peer roundtables, more networking events and tours to help first-timers make the most of the massive Expo floor.
"One of our slogans this year was 'Signs Mean Business,'" Anderson said. "Sign Expo has proven that to our sign companies, end users and influencers with a variety of educational events and networking opportunities. Each year, we hear about business deals begun at Sign Expo, and new alliances forged that successfully impact sign companies throughout the year. I have every reason to believe that Sign Expo 2013 will lead to greater opportunities for our members and attendees."
ISA International Sign Expo 2014 is scheduled for April 23-26, 2014 in Orlando.

This is the layout for the Scrapbook day 2009 "all day" challenge. my journaling reads,
Ever since ive been a child, verbal communication for me has been quite difficult. Many times when im in the middle of a conversation I have to stop and think of the words to I want to say (they don�t flow naturally for me like a normal person would). Its just something ive learned to live with and accept. Everyone has their challenges in life. Even the Apostle Paul asked God to take away his weakness�
To keep me from becoming conceited � there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.� Paul asked God to take it away from him�
9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." � 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, � For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 corin 12: 7 � 10
Can you find my *words* in my �scribble scrabble�?
This was a tough one... more so the emotion than the design. Its something thats been a burden to me all my life but im living with it. this is me. :)
