Gregory Alan Isakov doesn't mind being the guy standing just outside the spotlight. For a couple of years now, the shy, South African-born indie-folk songsmith has existed on the fringe — living off the grid on a farm outside of Lyons, playing small clubs, winning fans slowly, solidifying his presence as a frontman while collecting awards and accolades.
The bright lights, however, may be about to find him — whether he likes it or not — thanks to his new and radiant record, "This Empty Northern Hemisphere." It doesn't hurt that he has a few famous fans like Amy Ray and Brandi Carlile pulling him along.
"I don't really want to be famous," said Isakov, who doubles as a gardener with his horticulture degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder. "It's the weirdest thing. Why would I do this if I didn't want people to know who I am or know about my music? It's been a struggle for years because I don't know why. Why does a painter paint?
"I do what I do because I have to. "
Through his music Isakov comes off as a subtler Springsteen, a more melodically diverse Dylan. Like those two before him, his lyrics often read like epic stories — poetry of the downtrodden sometimes — and they don't come easy.
"This Empty Northern Hemisphere" is the fourth album for Isakov, a 29-year-old who almost always performs in a button-up shirt and newsboy cap, looking like something of an anachronism himself. Not only is the record an artistic masterwork — a potent collection of songs of the sweeping and weeping variety — it also has the greatest mainstream draw of Isakov's career.
The selections are bright and memorable, and Isakov is backed up on half of them by the familiar voice of Carlile, a rising star on Columbia Records.
It turns out Carlile — a solo performer who has sold hundreds of thousands of her own records — is one of Isakov's biggest fans. They met when he opened for her at the Chautauqua Auditorium, and they've since toured and recorded together, leading up to a month-long Isakov-Carlile bill that starts Wednesday night in Nashville.
"Gregory is probably my favorite new singer/songwriter," Carlile said. "With an amazing band, his records are really visual and set such a stoic and old-timey mood that, when I'm listening to his music, it feels like whatever I'm doing is really important and could be taking place at any time over the last 200 years."
Talent draws talent
Carlile became a fan while briefly watching Isakov sound check. It's not uncommon to lose yourself in his performances, which are intensely intimate regardless of the venue.
And that's why 2009 might be Isakov's year — not unlike Iron & Wine in 2004 and Bon Iver in 2007 — as his music is finally reaching people outside of Colorado. Isakov will also play four dates with the Indigo Girls in July, reinforcing another relationship he's been building over the past year.
"He's hands down one of the best new songwriters on the scene," said Ray, one of the Indigos. Of Isakov's "3 a.m.," she added, "This is one song I wished I had written."
Isakov's writing is certainly at a peak. The songs that make up "This Empty Northern Hemisphere" position him as the vibrant voice, the sensitive shoulder, the authentic soul — a nice change-up from his last effort, "That Sea, The Gambler," which focused too heavily on the quiet. Isakov seems more comfortable than ever, and when you sit down and talk with him, you'll see that he is, indeed, in a good space.
"I feel like I have a great relationship with music right now," Isakov said. "There's nothing I wish I had or wish I didn't have. I feel challenged enough doing this, and it feels really good to be putting out my own records independently."
Given the recent national boost for Isakov's name and music, it's natural to ask if he has any interest in releasing his music on a major label. But one look at his friends provides a glimpse at an industry lost at sea. The Indigo Girls helped break Carlile by taking her on tour with them. But right now the Girls are touring in support of their first independent release in more than 20 years — having been dropped by multiple major labels. Meanwhile Carlile has become a hot commodity, given the impressive success of her 2007 record "The Story."
For Isakov, ownership of the process and the music is of utmost importance.
"In elementary school, I remember working on a book report or diorama, and you spend so much time on it, and you get into the book and find the perfect shoebox," he said. "And there's so much satisfaction in having something like that and owning it and knowing that nobody else's input is in there."
It makes sense that Isakov makes a living by working with his hands. He speaks with authority, yet he's gentle in his deliberateness. His lyrics are the same way — linear and succinct as they offer up portraits of, and sometimes stories about, the people who have changed his life in one way or another. But how does Isakov's great love of songwriting compare to his passion of working with the earth as a gardener?
"Those are both actually so connected for me," Isakov said. "With both of them, I feel like I'm doing things by myself — the writing process is a very solitary experience, and I'm also oftentimes alone when I'm gardening. More importantly, I feel connected in a larger sense with what I'm doing when I'm writing or gardening. They are both such daily practices. The most amount of work I've ever had is a simple, small vegetable garden, because if you miss a day or two, you're (in trouble).
"It's the same with writing — not that I'm screwed if I miss a day, but there's so much going on in our lives that it needs upkeep. If I'm on tour without the band for a month, it takes awhile to get back on track with them — it takes a lot of weeding."
Growing his muse
On the farm, Isakov looked over numerous gardens and built a couple of structures on the land. He had initially moved out there with his girlfriend. Even after they broke up, they tried coexisting out there for a year and a half before realizing that it wasn't going to work. Isakov now lives in a Boulder building with bandmate Phil Parker, who plays cello, living upstairs. Isakov's fiddle player, Jeb Bows, is the building's maintenance man, and drummer Jen Gilleran isn't too far away in Lyons.
As much as Isakov is blown away by Carlile's celebrated voice — and those are his words — he said he's equally blown away by his band's togetherness.
"They're all amazing players, and they bring so much to the songs," Isakov said, adding that Parker, Bows and Gilleran — known collectively as the Freight — enhance his live shows by leaps and bounds. "It's hard for me to open my eyes when I play, because I'll forget words if I do. Jeb's a loud personality, and Jen has such a strong presence when she plays. It seems like they fit me and my personality, and they allow me to be more comfortable where I am when I'm playing."
You would think Isakov is more comfortable on a stage than he was five years ago. And you would be wrong.
"In a lot of ways, I've become more shy," Isakov said. "Sometimes it feels like I've never done this before, and I don't get that."
The band is one of the many things keeping Isakov in Colorado. Sure, he loves the local music community that has embraced him, and he appreciates the clubs that rarely employ the "guilty until proven innocent" approach to booking new artists. But it's no wonder that a spirit like Isakov's is a wandering one.
"I've wanted to move for a couple years, and I have a lot of friends in Austin and Seattle, and my brother just moved to Taos," Isakov said. "There are all these places I've thought about moving to, but every time I come home to Colorado, it makes sense to me."

After much cajoling, helpful nudging and threats, I am finally posting our Pasta Pie recipe. I appreciate all the interest after my wife's set up post. Thanks for the requests and reminders from our social network of friends.
But truly, how can I say no to her?
Hey Abba, how about using that green box of pasta? Pleeaassee!
The recipe is super simple, so I should be smacked in the head for taking 3,000 months to post this. Like my daughter suggests, cook a pound of Rigatoni per instructions. Also, preheat your oven to 350.
You will also need:
Marinara sauce: I prefer our recipe, of course
And, 1 batch of our creamy soy cheese
Next up, add 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive oil to a 9″ spring form pan and coat the bottom and sides.
When the pasta is cooked, strain and cool down with cold water.
The pasta doesn't have to be cooled all the way through, only if you have soft and sensitive baby hands like me.
Start stacking. In the spring form pan, stack each noodle upright. This is probably the most time consuming part…but, patience, young grasshopper. The effort will be worth it.
There you go, wasn't that fun?
Next, ladle on your marinara sauce. Spread the sauce around carefully, and try your best to fill all the individual rigatoni tubes with sauce.
That looks pretty good. You may not be able to fill all the holes, but that's alright. We have the creamy soy cheese to help fill in the blanks.
Pour on the soy cheese and spread evenly over the top.
Sprinkle a little parsley and for an extra (un-pictured) bonus add some sliced tomatoes on top.
Time to bake. I suggest placing the spring form pan on top of a sheet pan or in my case a flat cast iron skillet. This will catch any saucy drips that may try to escape. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
You'll know it's done when the cheese just begins to brown.
Unlatch and remove the side of the spring form pan.
Slice and serve.
And your results:
Happy children! It could be the joy of eating pasta with chopsticks, but I think it's my cooking.
What do you think, my love?
Uhhh, Naptime!

in this tutorial, we are going to configure the utility/consumer settings in a WPF utility the effortless method. Most example that I've viewed on the net contain the ConfigurationManager type and involve developing your personal XML file from scratch. i am going to reveal you a less difficult option to do it. (in my humble opinion)
First, the definitions:
person atmosphere – is designed to be something selected to the person. for example, one consumer might also have a requirement to peer certain stocks, information articles or native climate. This will also be set at run-time.
utility setting – is designed to save suggestions such as a database connection string. These settings are study M2010-727-only at run-time.
1) Lets create a brand new WPF assignment and play with a couple of settings. when you are inside VS, then paste here code snippet inner the <Grid> tags.<Grid> <TextBox peak="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,11,0,0" identify="textBox1" VerticalAlignment="suitable" Width="285" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" /> <Button content material="Set Title" identify="button2" click on="button2_Click" Margin="108,forty,ninety six,114" /> <TextBlock top="23" name="textBlock1" text="TextBlock" VerticalAlignment="backside" Width="377" /> </Grid>
truly, its only a Textbox, Button and TextBlock. The main Window may still appear to be here:
2) Now we're going to setup our Configuration Settings. seem in the answer Explorer and double click on the Settings.settings file. make sure that your settings file looks identical to mine blanketed beneath:
What just came about turned into the designer created an XML file and created the Settings.clothier.cs file which appears like this://------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // <auto-generated> // This code turned into generated through a tool. // Runtime edition:4.0.30319.1 // // alterations to this file could cause incorrect behavior and should be lost if // the code is regenerated. // </auto-generated> //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ namespace WPFExam.homes [global::System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CompilerGeneratedAttribute()] [global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute ("Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editors.SettingsDesigner.SettingsSingleFileGenerator", "10.0.0.0")] interior sealed partial type Settings : global::equipment.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase private static Settings defaultInstance = ((Settings)(international::equipment.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase.Synchronized(new Settings()))); public static Settings Default get return defaultInstance; [global::System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute()] [global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()] [global::System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("ApplicationName")] public string ApplicationName get return ((string)(this["ApplicationName"])); set this["ApplicationName"] = cost; [global::System.Configuration.ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute()] [global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()] [global::System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("SQL_SRV342")] public string DatabaseServerName get return ((string)(this["DatabaseServerName"]));
The XML File is termed app.config and looks like this:<?xml edition="1.0" encoding="utf-eight" ?> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup identify="userSettings" classification="system.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, system, version=220.127.116.11, subculture=impartial, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" > <part name="WPFExam.residences.Settings" type="system.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, equipment, version=four.0.0.0, tradition=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" /> </sectionGroup> <sectionGroup identify="applicationSettings" classification="gadget.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, equipment, edition=220.127.116.11, way of life=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" > <area identify="WPFExam.houses.Settings" type="gadget.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, equipment, version=220.127.116.11, lifestyle=impartial, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <userSettings> <WPFExam.residences.Settings> <atmosphere identify="ApplicationName" serializeAs="String"> <cost>ApplicationName</price> </atmosphere> </WPFExam.residences.Settings> </userSettings> <applicationSettings> <WPFExam.properties.Settings> <surroundings name="DatabaseServerName" serializeAs="String"> <cost>SQL_SRV342</value> </atmosphere> </WPFExam.residences.Settings> </applicationSettings> </configuration>
3) The most effective left now is the code in the back of the button. Double click the button and change the MainWindow() components with here code snippet.public MainWindow() InitializeComponent(); this.Title = houses.Settings.Default.ApplicationName; textBox1.text = houses.Settings.Default.ApplicationName; textBlock1.text = homes.Settings.Default.DatabaseServerName; deepest void button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) homes.Settings.Default.ApplicationName = textBox1.text.ToString(); properties.Settings.Default.keep();
Run the software and type anything in the textbox and hit the Set Title button. Now, restart the utility and also you may still see the textual content that you entered earlier.
if you appear at the button2 click adventure, you're going to see that it became in fact 2 strains of codes to keep to the configuration file. i'm hoping this helps, for extra information consult MSDN.

Supreme Commander gets more great reviews
Now this won't come as a surprise to anyone who's played it, but the great reviews for Supreme Commander just keep streaming on in. GameSpy scores it a 4.5 out of 5, while Strategy Informer awards it a 9.3 out of 10. It's really a vindication for long-time Total Annihilation fans like me that this style of gaming is finally getting the critical acclaim it deserves. All of my friends and I have loved Chris Taylor's RTSs for years, and we'd have been really disappointed if his latest wasn't given the kudos it deserved. Well, luckily, it was. The average score across all of the gaming review sites is very high. Go Supreme Commander!
Also, some tantalizing screenshots for Empire Earth III have been released. I remember playing the first Empire Earth game; it was a lot of fun. It's kind of like Age of Empires, but across a much longer time range, and on a bit more of a massive scale (like, say, Chris Taylor's RTSs). I'm definitely going to give Empire Earth III a whirl when it comes out — if I'm done playing Supreme Commander by then, anyway.

It's funny how the simplest item of clothing can spark an whirlwind of memories, like the outfit you wore on your first date with you husband or even, in my case, the first time I mixed prints. I thought I was stepping way out there by pairing stripes with this skirt (here), but as it would seem it was just getting me ready for bigger and better prints to mix. It's always nice to go back where you started for a little inspiration and to see how things have evolved.
What sparks your inspiration?

Here are some home cleaning tips that show how natural cleaning products really do work and they won't harm your health or your family in the process.
Hard water stains can be difficult to remove with everyday cleaning products. However, lemon can get rid of them.
Use natural cleaning products to clean a grease stained stove top or remove hard water stains in the bathroom. With a list of natural cleaning products you'll be able to tackle just about any household grime.
Grease stained stove top
If you are renting a home, especially an older home, you invariably end up with a lot of cleaning to do when you move in. And bathrooms and kitchens are the hardest rooms to get really clean.
If you want to get a stove top clean, mix baking soda in a small bowl with enough hydrogen peroxide to make a paste. Apply the paste to the dirty areas and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Pop on some rubber gloves and use a kitchen scourer to gently rub off the dirt.
A small amount of water and vinegar will clean up any burnt pot.
Hard water stains
Hard water stains can be difficult to remove with everyday cleaning products. However, lemon can get rid of those stains.
All you need to do is rub the lemon on the fixture and rinse, then watch the spots disappear.
For hard water stains that have been there for years, you may have to do this more than once.
Make your own bathroom cleaner as an alternative to bought cleaners. Fill up a spray bottle half with white spirit vinegar and half with water, and add 10 drops of tea tree oil to keep mould at bay.
Stains and odours from the fridge or freezer can be solved with baking soda.
Burnt pots and pans
If you've ever forgotten a pot on the stove, you know how difficult it can be to get it clean.
However, if you pop in some water and vinegar into the pot before letting it sit for a few minutes on the stove it's an easy job .
For burns that have been left for a while, pour in a cup of white spirit vinegar, add a small amount of water - about 5mm - and place the pan on the stove.
Bring it to the boil and remove the pan from the heat and add two tablespoons of baking soda. This will immediately begin to fizz, which means the baking soda is working to break down the greasy burn marks. All that is left is to rinse the pot clean.
Any stubborn stains left behind can be removed by making a paste with baking soda and water and using a scouring pad.
Ugly toilet stains
Over time, toilets that have been left standing unused may develop brown stains around the bowl and at the bottom.
These water stains can be easily removed by sprinkling baking soda inside the bowl and scrubbing it with white spirit vinegar.
Stains and odours from the fridge or freezer
We've all experienced a smelly fridge at one time or another. The easiest way to clean a fridge or freezer and deodorise it at the same time is to make up a cleaning paste with baking soda and a small amount of water.
Use a sponge to wipe down the interior of the fridge with the paste, and then wipe the fridge clean with a cloth. Finish off with a microfibre cloth to remove any remaining traces of moisture.
If you need to remove odours from a fridge, fill a cup half way with baking soda and let it stand in the fridge until the odour disappears.
Blocked or smelly drains
Don't leave this natural cleaning treatment until you have a blockage. If you use baking soda and vinegar once a month in your sinks and basins, you will prevent any build up that may cause a blockage and have odour-free drains.
Sprinkle the baking soda down the drain and then pour in the vinegar. The drain will start to fizz as the ingredients combine.
Besides clearing blockages, this technique also washes away odour-causing bacteria.
Manufacturers of cleaning products have a monopoly over what goes on the supermarket shelves, but there are more natural and eco-friendly cleaners available.
The downside is that these products can be more expensive. However, there is a simple and inexpensive way to make your own natural cleaners at home and you don't have to buy a bunch of fancy ingredients to do it.
Simply stock up on white spirit vinegar, castille soap, baking soda, and a few essential oils, and you will be able to make just about every cleaner you will ever need.
Not only will your home be naturally clean, you will also be putting less plastic packaging onto our dumps and reducing your toxic footprint.

Do you have unanswered health problems? Do you feel sick after you eat? Are you tired all the time? Do you ever wonder if it could possibly be gluten causing your problems? Maybe it is time you have yourself checked for gluten intolerance or sensitivity. I have a way you can do this for free!
I am super excited to share with you that Health Labs is running a gluten/celiac outreach campaign this month and have reached out to offer my readers FREE gluten testing indefinitely. There is also a discount on celiac testing through 12/31/2016.
The free testing is to see if you have gluten intolerance or sensitivity to gluten. It will work best if you are currently eating gluten. This IgG allergy test uses a blood sample to determine if you are allergic or hypersensitive to gluten. You can read more about this test here. This test is normally $29 with Health Labs, but they are offering it to my readers indefinitely for FREE!
How it works:
You simply call in to Health Labs, or use the live chat feature when you go to their webpage. Let them know you are a reader of the blog Gluten Free Birmingham and are wanting to get the free gluten test. They will ask you for your zip code and a few questions like your email where they can send you a confirmation with your nearest lab for the blood draw. Then they will send you an email confirmation you will need to print and bring with you to the lab. No appointment is necessary. The blood draw should take you about 10 minutes. Then your results will be sent to you within 1-3 business days. They even have a physician available for consult for FREE once you get your results if you need help interpreting them.
If you would like to get the blood test done to reveal celiac disease, they are also offering my readers a discount of 50% off until 12/31/2016. So, the price would be $124.50. Same situation as above, as far as how to get the test done. Since there would be payment involved for this test, you will pay Health Labs when you speak with them, so that part will be different.
From Health Labs website on Celiac testing:
Our Celiac Disease Antibody Screening Test screens for the presence of Tissue Transglutaminase antibody (IgG, IgA) and Gliadin antibody (IgG, IgA) in the blood. Celiac disease is characterized by the presence of Transglutaminase, Gliadin, and Reticulin antibodies. Such patients display a hypersensitivity to gluten (found in wheat, rye and barley) in their diet. The antibody is undetectable when patients with hypersensitivity are placed on gluten-free diets. Antibody IgA is more specific and IgG is more sensitive to Celiac disease.
This is available to my readers all over the U.S. where there is a lab near you. The lab is Quest Diagnostics.
If you take advantage of this offer, I would love to hear your results! Leave a comment and let us know how it went! I wish we could participate, but since we are all already gluten free, it wouldn't give accurate information.
Have a blessed day!
*I was not paid for this post, I wrote it out of my own free time because I thought this was a fabulous offer for our readers.

Wrestling steers, riding a bucking bronco and racing around barrels were all common sights on Thursday night in the FoodMaxx Arena as cowboys and cowgirls took the stage for the California Cowboys Professional Rodeo Association Rodeo event this year at the Stanislaus County Fair.
Eight Stanislaus County residents were among the approximately 70 professional rodeo competitors who participated in the fair event. Only one local cowboy, however, made it to the top of his event.
Oakdale resident Mike George placed second along with Kris Goodman from Dos Palos in the team roping competition after five seconds of calf roping, earning them each $792.30.
Even though George was the only one out of the eight Stanislaus County residents to place, one Turlock cowgirl took her barrel racing to the next level as she "became one" with her horse.
Pitman High graduate Tasha Holmes didn't place this year, but she was excited for the event and the opportunity to compete with her new horse "Uptown's Little Girl," also known as "Vegas." She got her horse from Hagen's Ranch, where they broke the horse for her, but Holmes trained the horse herself for barrel racing.
"It felt good," Holmes said. "You have a lot of adrenaline going before (the event), but once you get going it is easy."
This is the second year Holmes has competed in the rodeo at the Stanislaus County Fair. She has been competing in rodeos up and down the state for the past two years, she said. Even though she is a newbie on the rodeo circuit, she has been riding horses all her life.
Holmes said she has developed a love for the fast-paced competitions. But her true passion lies in barrel racing and that connection with her horse.
"The camaraderie between you and your horse is amazing," she said. "Barrel racing is the only sport where you are really in tune with your horse."
She described barrel racing as more than just teaching her horse the pattern of the barrels. She said it is being in touch with her horse as they both race against time around the barrels.
"If your horse is on and you're not, you lose," Holmes said. "If you're on and your horse isn't, you lose."
Holmes is also working on roping with another one of her horses, but that bond she has with Vegas keeps her competing in barrel racing.
"You learn to communicate better in life from forming that level of communication with your horse," she said.
Between the relationship she builds with horse and the adrenaline before the competition, Holmes said she has found her calling.
"Me and her are so together," Holmes said. "It is a lot of fun. You're adrenaline builds up before the race but once you run, you don't hear anything. You don't hear the crowd. You don't hear the bulls moving around in the shoots. You just focus."

A New York based Sikh advocacy and rights group website has been hacked. The group is convinced that the server hacking was well-coordinated by a certain group who has attempted to target the Sikh community.
The group, Sikh for Justice (SFJ) has been previously and presently active in legal activity in court. The group has filed a complaint against the Congress Party and its leader Kamal Nath with relation to the 1984 Sikh riots. Sikhs for Justice also recently filed a complaint with the regulator Federal Communications Commission against Jay Leno who made offensive remarks about the Golden Temple.
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, attorney for the SFJ stated that the recent hacking of the SFJ server was done by certain quarters that have intended to silence the Sikh community from filing such complaints. According to him, it was done because "some people" are not happy with the world media attention the Sikh community is getting.
A written complaint has been filed and sent to a unit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in charge of taking care of Internet related crimes. The community hopes that its complaints are taken seriously and that they can move forward with preserving justice that they hope to have, as does any other community.

Julie and Julia
Being a food and wine critic, some might even say basher, and never having written a movie review before, I approached this task with great trepidation so here goes. If you're a foodie and love to eat and cook, hell, even if you've never tasted food and can't spell the word kitchen, you should love this movie even if you've never been in love. It's all about the true joy of cooking and more so the true joy of living. Meryl Streep plays Julia Child in Paris as she learns to cook. Streep's rendition of Child is a brilliant caricature but probably not as good as Child's own caricature of herself. Dan Akroyd's caricature of Child on Saturday Night Live, in which he is carving a chicken and ends up bleeding all over the set and passing out from blood loss, appears in the movie.
The story is actually two stories in one as Amy Adams plays Julie in modern day New York who has decided to do something with her life and cook all 540 recipes in Child's cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, in 365 days.
Forget the popcorn for this one and grab a bottle of French Bordeaux and some Brie and bread and enjoy. YUM!

The Supreme Court of Canada's decision in the Nadon Reference is as bad a decision as the Court has made in recent memory.
[np_storybar title="Christie Blatchford: By spurning Marc Nadon, the Supreme Court is also rejecting the executive's fundamental role in governance" link="http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2014/03/21/christie-blatchford-by-spurning-marc-nadon-the-supreme-court-is-also-rejecting-the-executives-fundamental-role-in-governance/"%5DIt is a disgraceful decision, the final howl of which is this: How dare the executive branch, the government, have gone and picked a judge and amended a law?
Whichever plot you favour to explain the now-scuttled appointment of Marc Nadon to the Supreme Court of Canada — there's a convoluted connection to the former boy terrorist/boy victim Omar Khadr which has been offered to explain both appointment and scuttling, but the really fabulous one is that the high court has stepped in yet again to check that well-known force of darkness, Prime Minister Stephen Harper — it's crystal clear that the Supreme Court of Canada is unhappy with this government which insists upon doing the business of governing.
Continue reading…
Marc Nadon, a Quebec-born and -educated lawyer with almost 20 years of legal experience in Quebec and 20 years experience as a judge of the Federal Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal, was declared ineligible for appointment to one of three seats reserved for Quebec on the Supreme Court of Canada. The majority of Justices went out of their way to portray the judgment as constitutionally required in order to protect Quebec's interests.
How did this come about?
Let's start with the common ground. Everyone agrees that the Supreme Court Act provides that current and former superior court judges are eligible for appointment to the Supreme Court, along with current and former members of the bar of at least 10 years standing. There is no dispute that Nadon is eligible to be appointed to the Court on these criteria. In fact, there is a long history of appointing Federal Court Judges to the Supreme Court.
The wrinkle is that another provision of the Act provides that at least three judges of the Supreme Court shall be appointed from among the judges of the Quebec superior courts or the Quebec bar.
According to the majority of the Court, this provision operates to disqualify Nadon, for he is neither a Quebec superior court judge nor is he currently a member of the Quebec bar.
In short, according to the majority, the moment he accepted appointment to the Federal Court in Ottawa, Marc Nadon ceased to be a Quebec lawyer for purposes of Supreme Court eligibility.
Was this result required by the language of the law or principles of statutory interpretation? The short answer is no, as Justice Michael Moldaver explained in his dissenting opinion.
Justice Moldaver's opinion has been all but ignored in the commentary praising the majority's decision. But his opinion is forceful and must be reckoned with.
Justice Moldaver describes the majority as engaging in "cherry-picking" of the appointment criteria, applying only aspects of the law that are "convenient" and "jettisoning those that are not." The Court's approach to statutory interpretation, as he describes it, is "heretofore unknown."
The result is absurd, according to Justice Moldaver, because Judge Nadon would become eligible for appointment to the Supreme Court if he were to rejoin the Quebec bar for as little as a single day.
Think about that for a moment. This, we are told, was a major constitutional moment in the Supreme Court of Canada, but all that was at stake was a single day. The majority of the Court explicitly refused to address this point, no doubt out of embarrassment.
The majority attempts to buttress its decision by inventing an "underlying purpose" to the appointment requirements they are enforcing. The law, they say, is designed to ensure not just that the Supreme Court has expertise in Quebec law, but also that Quebec's legal traditions and "social values" are represented on the Court.
Judges are supposed to put their values aside when they adjudicate. Aren't Quebec judges expected to do the same?
If this is the purpose of the law, it operates imperfectly by excluding Nadon: As a lawyer born and educated in Quebec, he must surely have the relevant "social values" — unless he is somehow no longer Quebecois by virtue of his federal work.
But this is all makeweight stuff in any event. As Justice Moldaver writes, importing social values into the law is "unsupported by the text and history of the Act."
For its part, the majority offers no explanation of the social-values concept it says is so important. But it is implausible to suppose that there is some uniform set of social values that Quebecers share, and odd to suppose they are properly relevant to the task of judging in any event.
After all, judges are supposed to put their values aside when they adjudicate. Aren't Quebec judges expected to do the same?
At the end of the day, the Court's judgment denies Marc Nadon a seat on the Court and embarrasses the government. But the consequences go much further.
In purporting to respect Quebec entitlement to representation on the Supreme Court, the Court has thrown the Federal Courts and their Quebec judges under the bus.
The Federal Courts, like the Supreme Court, are required to have minimum numbers of judges from Quebec — at least 10 on the trial division and five on the Federal Court of Appeal. That is so because the Federal Court requires competence in Quebec Civil Code law (one of the things that many assume Judge Nadon lacks) and must also be seen to be legitimate in Quebec.
Following the Court's decision in the Nadon Reference, Quebec lawyers with aspirations to sit on the Supreme Court of Canada are far less likely to be willing to serve on the Federal Courts.
To say the least, this is a bad outcome. How unfortunate that the Court believed it to be required by our Constitution.

Well, college basketball season is getting closer. As you have probably heard, Pitt is bringing back Midnight Madness in a unique way. The Panthers will have their first official practice outside, on a court set up on Bigelow in the shadow of the Cathedral. The event takes place on Friday, October 12. Which just happens to also be homecoming weekend.
The entire event will be livestreamed on ESPN3, and the ESPNU Midnight Madness show will be doing live look-ins.
Pitt has also finalized their TV schedule. There will be some games that are simply unavailable to those who don't live in the Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania area. Those will be some of the games that air on Pittsburgh Panthers TV, which is a Comcast only channel. The scrimmage, two exhibition games and four patsy games — Oakland (Nov. 17), Howard (Nov. 27), Delaware State (Dec. 19) and Kennesaw State (Dec. 23).
Some games will be ESPN3 streaming only. With one surprise: Mount St. Mary's (Nov. 9), Detroit (Dec. 1), the City Game vs. Duquesne at Consol Energy Center (Dec. 5), North Florida (Dec. 8) and Bethune Cookman (Dec. 15). The City Game being streamed only is a hell of an indictment on how far Duquesne has fallen at this point, and the expectations. Not even regional/ROOT Sports interest in broadcasting it.
Not surprisingly, outside of the NIT Tip-Off Classic, national or even regional broadcasts of Pitt's non-con are non-existent. The mix of a disappointing season last year and absolute dreck for most of the non-con will do that. Though, with yet another lockout looming for the NHL you would think ROOT might have been a little interested.
As for the 18 game conference slate, that will be found nationally. Only five games end up on the Big East Network syndication — Villanova, USF, at St. John's and both DePaul games. The other thirteen games will be on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or CBS.
In other time-wasters. The Syracuse basketball beat writer has been killing time with top-5 lists.
There are a few Pitt mentions in the lists. Like intra-city games that includes The City Game (obviously not a lot of choices).
Top 5 Freshmen:
1. Steve Adams, Pittsburgh: Adams, a 7-foot center, is a native of New Zealand. He played at Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg, Mass., last year. He's extremely athletic for a 7-footer. He plays hard, which will fit in with Pitt coach Jamie Dixon's style. Adams burst onto the scene a year ago in the adidas Nations Tournament. Adams, playing for Team Asia, scored 20 points and grabbed 24 rebounds vs. Team USA Red. He had 37 points and 14 rebounds against Team USA Blue.
Top 5 Transfers:
1. Trey Zeigler, Pittsburgh: Don't let the fact that Zeigler transferred to Pittsburgh from Central Michigan fool you. Zeigler, a 6-5 guard, was never a Mid-American Conference level recruit. He went to Central Michigan to play for his father, Ernie, who was let go after last season. Zeigler received a waiver to play immediately at Pitt. In his two years at Central Michigan, Zeigler scored 1,011 points. He hit double-figures 54 times in 63 career games there. Last year, he averaged a team-high 15.6 points per game, which ranked third in the MAC. He also led Central Michigan with 6.7 rebounds per game. Zeigler could have a huge impact on Pitt where he'll get the chance to replace Ashton Gibbs in the Panthers' starting lineup.
and Top 5 Venues:
2. Petersen Events Center, Pittsburgh: It's hard to believe the Petersen Events Center has been around for 10 years. The facility still sparkles. It's not just one of the best arenas in the Big East, it's one of the best in the country. The facility includes the arena itself plus athletic training facilities, a practice court, coaches offices and more. From the Daktronics video-board to the courtside suites to the student section that wraps around three-quarters of the court, the people at Pitt got it right when they built the Pete.
Only disagreement on the venue list is putting the Joyce Center (ND) at #3 and leaving the Bradley Center (Marquette) off the list.
Comment by 85 09.26.12 @ 9:29 am"
Spot on…and if it sells out quickly enough, perhaps someone will see an advantage to making it accesible via Root.
Zeigler will be in consideration for all big east this season. He is a great fit for what Dixon wants to do, play defense, rebound, make the extra pass and get/take good shots.
His 6.7 rebounds a game was close to top 10 among all guards in the country last season and more than anyone at Pitt averaged. It wouldn't shock me if he was close to that average this season. Pitt's defense will create a lot of missed shots (sadly their offense might create a lot of misses too). Adams and Zanna will attract a lot of attention by the opponents. And Adams tips a lot of rebounds leaving loose rebounds for guards. Zeigler is extremely quick to loose balls.
Would not be surprised to see the starters average 30 rebounds:
Adams 9
Zanna 6
Patterson 6
Zeigler 6
Woodall 3
I thought yes we did, and I was looking forward to going over. But I see we're no longer on the roster.
What happened?
Sorry hard to think about hoops in Sept. esp. now since we're 2-2.
Minnesota which played in the generic Metrodome for 30 years, finally built a beautiful 50,000 seat ON CAMPUS STADIUM. This was from the game piece.
"The crowd erupted, cheering and dancing to "Gangnam Style" in the kind of euphoric college atmosphere the university was hoping to recapture after moving out of the lifeless Metrodome four years ago."
While Heinz isn't as bad as the Metrodome (neither had/has much of a College atmosphere) and PITT wasn't as bad as Minnesota, until PITT makes a substantial financial investment in football, as they did in basketball, I see us staying at our level of mediocrity with an occassional 9 or 10 win season. Or it could be worse, as the level of competition in the ACC is much better than in the league we're leaving.
Which that level of mediocrity was achieved in.
Recruiting & coaching will have to be stepped up, as we all know. (VT gift game non-withstanding)
Sort of another Boston College in the ACC, as they were mediocre like us in the Big East. They did manage to play for the ACC title when I believe Matt Ryan was their QB a few years.
They've fallen back a little now. What's disconcering a little is that BC was excellent in BigEast hoops, not so much in the ACC.
The Maui preaseason tournament is in 2014. Next year they play in Brookyln at the new arena in the Legends Classic.
If Pitt built a stadium in Oakland (if they somehow found the space) people would say they won't go because too hard to get to. Always some excuse. I think people are forgeting how empty Pitt Stadium was the last 20 years they played there.
for 692 yards and 7 TD in 2 games before haveing
a injury.
BC once we hit the ACC, at least I hope not.
WVU is a more likely scenario especially with his grade issues over 2 years at Pedophile State.
That being said, Pitt might have been a decent choice for him in August when he would have had 3 years in the system, but now that he has played this year, he'll only have 2 years. Since he hasn't really developed as a QB since high school, it's hard to see how he would beat out Savage and/or Voytik next year, which means at best he would be hoping for 1 year of playing time, and even that seems unlikely at this point.
It's unfortunate, but Jones seems to have made a series of bad decisions about college football, beginning with his choice of PSU, and culminating with getting talked out of transferring in August and playing a game at TE. Hopefully he really considers his options this time around.
I guess other options for on-campus would be expanding further up into the Hill District (around the new baseball complex) or down into Panther Hollow, although both of those have political implications as well. Just not a lot of space around here…
Instead of a bowl shaped stadium which took more room, you could make it a rectangle with steep stands, like a pit if you will. The pit at PITT.
50,000 to start with, with option to expand if need be. 48k in a 50k place looks packed, unlike 48k in a 65K place. Also for a huge game, with say Florida State, you could always move it to Heinz if 65-70K was expected. Like the old saying, if there's a will, there's a way !
"Where there's a will, there's a way".
In this case, the "will" had better be one of some just deceased billionaire because it would take about 500 million to site study, permit apply/approve, design and build it.
Pitt does not have the political clout or the athletic department deep pockets.
Besides, the VA is entrenched.

MONTREAL (Jan. 16)
In what is believed to be a first for an Orthodox synagogue in Canada, two women have been elected to the executive of the board of the Spanish and Portuguese congregation in this city, it was reported in The Canadian Jewish News. Miriam Regenstreif was elected treasurer and Claire Chitayat was elected a vice-president.
Mrs. Regenstreif has been associated with the congregation since her childhood and has been a member of the board for 15 years. In addition to her synagogual activities; which include being a past president of its sisterhood, she is a founder of ORT and B'nai B'rith Women here She has also been active in Hadassah, Young Judea, and the women's branch of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.
"The Spanish and Portuguese has been my second home." she was quoted as saying. "I really appreciate what the men have done. I have a big job ahead of me and I am going to do the best I can."
Mrs. Chitayat, a native of Iraq, is a past president of the synagogue's sisterhood. Commenting on her appointment, she said: "For me it has a double significance to be given the position–both as a woman and as a Jew from the Middle East. It makes me feel very good." Lean Brownstein, who was reelected president, told The Canadian Jewish News: "We feel the two women are very capable. There has to be a first time."

It is apparently the Asix Ax88790 chipset. I tried forcing the driver to detect the card as NE2000_TYPE_AX88790 (by editing dev/ic/ne2000.c), but that isn't enough or isn't the right thing to do. It will give errors after I try to give it an address lie "remote transmit DMA failed to complete". OpenBSD detects the card as ne3, which I think says something about IRQs(??)

Publication date: 10 May, 2011 from Harper Teen
Category: Young Adult Fantasy
Format: Paperback
Keywords: Contemporary, fantasy, adventure, ghosts
From goodreads.com:
My life had always been blissfully, wonderfully normal. But it only took one moment to change everything.
Suddenly, my sister, Georgia, and I were orphans. We put our lives into storage and moved to Paris to live with my grandparents. And I knew my shattered heart, my shattered life, would never feel normal again. Then I met Vincent.
Mysterious, sexy, and unnervingly charming, Vincent Delacroix appeared out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. Just like that, I was in danger of losing my heart all over again. But I was ready to let it happen.
Of course, nothing is ever that easy. Because Vincent is no normal human. He has a terrifying destiny, one that puts his life at risk every day. He also has enemies... immortal, murderous enemies who are determined to destroy him and all of his kind.
While I'm fighting to piece together the remnants of my life, can I risk putting my heart—as well as my life and my family's—in jeopardy for a chance at love?
How I found out about this book: downloaded the e-ARC from Netgalley.com.
Alethea's review: I do like the mythology that Plum builds around her paranormal creatures--the revenants--though the exposition of this takes place as a Q&A format that's just slightly less awkward than Courtney Allison Moulton's Angelfire, the rules of her alternate world are interesting, at least. The main characters, and for that matter, the secondary characters, hardly aroused any emotional response from me, however.
Apart from some battles with the evil revenants, or numa (who feed on dying souls rather than sacrificing themselves for them) there isn't a lot of tension that isn't built around Kate and Vincent's slap-dash romance--one which skews too close to Twilight for my taste. (The good news is, if you still really really like Twilight--you'll enjoy this book!)
Normally I'm a fan of flouting stereotypes, and Plum, to her credit, does a bit of that. Frenchmen like English, and French grand-mère's say "Katya" instead of the expected "Katie". It had the strange effect of blending the separate characters too much (not a good thing with such a big cast of characters) and didn't help with my unwillingness to suspend my disbelief. The story also didn't have as much action as I was hoping for. There's a stabbing and some falling off of bridges, as well as an off-screen sword fight. All in all, I wasn't engaged by the story until the final boss battle, and then only just.
If you're more a fan of romance than adventure, you'll probably enjoy this a lot more than I did. I really prefer stronger, snarkier female characters like Astrid from the Killer Unicorns series by Diana Peterfreund, Dru from Lili St. Crow's Strange Angels, or the snarky Sophie from Rachel Hawkins's Hex Hall.
Die for Me reads a little more like a travel narrative of Paris than a fantasy novel, with a few relevant tidbits from history worked in for those of us who like that kind of thing. It gets points for a great cover, clever world-building, and not much else.
Die for Me is Amy Plum's debut novel, and Book 1 of The Revenants series. Visit the author online at http://www.amyplumbooks.com/, and follow @iHeartRevenants on Twitter.

Powerline reports on Q415 economic growth.
Gross domestic product (GDP) expanded at only a 0.7% seasonally adjusted annualized ratein the fourth quarter of last year, the Commerce Department reported today. That's quite weak.
2015 as a whole wasn't so good either. GDP expanded at only 2.4%, the same as in 2014. That's called limping along. For as James Pethokoukis points out, from the end of World War II through 2005, the economy grew at an average annual rate of 3.5%.
Yup, it's the worse recovery since the Great Depression.

Time to clear out all the tabs on my browser again.
Let's lead with this article from the Foundation for Economic Education. It points out what is wrong with Trumps claims about manufacturing jobs, and how to fix the problem. It goes on to point out that Trump is the moderate on the subject when compared to Vermont Socialist Bernie Sanders. Sanders is completely divorced from reality on the subject, and his "solutions" have the high probability of making the thing he wants to fix even worse.
Socialists in America, like Bernie Sanders, used to point to Venezuela as the modern example of how socialism works. No so much anymore. Probably because socialism has created a Humanitarian disaster in Venezuela.
On the subject of 2016 Presidential candidates, the Washington Post reports that the FBI is granting immunity to person who set up Hillary Clinton's private email server. In legal circles, this is what is known as a "bad sign."
Modern Healthcare has a report on the Illinois Obamacare program. I'll give you the short version, they operated at a $90.8 million loss in 2015. Remember back before the so-called "Affordable Care Act" was passed in the middle of the night right before Congress left Washington for Christmas? Come on, you remember. It was done using a procedure that even the democrats own resident high ranking Klansman objected to, in order to avoid a vote in the Senate. Something to do with the democrat stronghold of Massachusetts electing a Republican expressly to vote against Obamacare. There were some people, mainly those who had actually read the ACA, who objected to it, claiming it was economically unviable. They were uniformly called "racists", which we now know means "anyone who disagrees with a democrat."
Bill Clinton is on the campaign trail trashing Obama's handling of the so-called economic recovery. Something he has in common with Bernie Sanders. What he is short on is how Hillary is going to a better job from federal prison.
The American Thinker points out that NPR doesn't want to actually admit in their in article on how Obamacare is a failure that Obamacare is a failure.

Another component of Sander's speeches
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, economy, Obama Economy, Politics, Progressives
I've mentioned before that Sander's stump speeches on the topic of immigration are even more hard lined, on both legal and illegal immigration, than Donald Trump's stance on the subject.
There are two other common themes to a Sander's speech.
The first sounds a lot like Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign. One of the major catch phrases of that campaign was, "It's the economy, stupid!" The brilliant James Carville gets credit for that. For those of you who don't remember the early 1990's, in Q492, when the election was held, the US had just come out of a recession. When the President at the time, George H.W. Bush, correctly stated that the recession was over, and the recovery was starting, the Clinton team would go into full attack mode, calling him a liar. Since the recovery had just started, the effects were not wildly felt. This tactic was wildly successful for Clinton, especially since the economy really was starting to recover, and he got to take credit for something that was already happening after he took office.
Bernie Sanders is pounding the pulpit and telling people not to believe the economic news coming from the Obama White House. Obama is telling you that unemployment is 5.6%, and Bernie is telling it's 10.7%. Thing is that they are both quoting the current federal Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers. Barry is using the more commonly used U3 number. Bernie is using the U6 number, which is considered by rational economists to be a more accurate indicator.
If you have read my previous posts about the Obama Economy, you would think I'm siding with Bernie on this. I have to admit, the self identified Socialist does have a point. The so-called "recovery" has been going on for just over five years now, and it has been described everywhere from CNBC to NPR as "lackluster" and "jobless." With a U3 of 5.6%, we should be damn close to "full employment", yet the number of people not in the work force is at levels we haven't seen since the deep recession of the late 1970s. Barry's policies have managed to kill most of the economic gain that you typically get coming out of a recession.
While Sanders may be right about our Dear Leader's handling of the economy, odds are he will screw it up even more with his socialist economic policies.
Quote of the day
Filed under: Barking Moonbats, Clintons, Culture of Corruption, Politics, Progressives
"The earnestly naive Bernie Sanders is who the Democratic party wants to be. The corrupt and venal Hillary Clinton is who they are."
— AlphabetShoe
Let's be honest here. Bernie Sanders may caucus with the democrats in the Senate, but he is not a member of the democrat party. The so called "mainstream media" calls him an "independant." He calls himself a socialist. To be fair, about two thirds of the democrats in Congress are also members of the DSA. So Bernie just may be more honest than most of the congressional democrats.
Bernie Sanders' stump speeches include statements about the US Mexico border and immigrants, legal and illegal, that make Trump sound like an open borders guy. I've seen this described as "nativist" behavior. That is a modern code word for nationalist. Bernie Sanders is a Nationlist Socialist who continously expresses his concern for the workers. If that is what you are looking for in a modern democrat, you need to review your early to mid 20th century history

Catching up on a bunch of stuff that caught my eye on the Interwebs.
Poll data shows that liberals are less patriotic. No surprise here.
In Obamerica, the DHS considers Americans who believe in the civil rights of the individual more dangerous than Islamofascists that actually kill Americans.
RESEARCHER REAFFIRMS: AT LEAST 760,000 DEFENSIVE GUN USES A YEAR. "Gun Control" fanatics are in denial of the settled science.
The Obama White House Says They Will Not Release IRS Documents On Tea Party Targeting… Y'all know that the whole "most transparent administration ever" thing was just another lie Obama told to get the useful idiots to vote for him. This is just another example of his flipping off the American people.
What is the difference between fascism and progressive ideology? If you don't know the answer to this, you can probably blame a public school teacher who identifies as a progressive. Both "are very hostile to individualism, especially in the field of economics."

Nine Practical Tips for Inauguration Day in Washington DC
It looks as though attendance will be through the roof for the Presidential Inauguration of 1-20-2009 itself and for the Inaugural Parade down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC that follows. Some will be there to cheerfully rally for constitutional rights, others will be there to cheer a hero, and yes, a few others will be there to give a defiant anti-Obama Bronx cheer. Whatever your purpose, here are some practical tips for the Inauguration attendee:
1. You're too late to get tickets to the Inauguration itself, at least up close. Tickets have already been distributed to members of Congress and other political VIPs to distribute, and demand already far exceeds supply. You can stand for free on the national mall to see and hear the inauguration on a jumbotron screen, then say to your children that you were there. If someone tells you they have a ticket to the inauguration for sale, they're scalpers and it should be going for more than a thousand dollars. Otherwise, it's a scam. Even if the price is high, it still might be a scam.
2. You're too late to get a hotel room in DC or anywhere nearby. Give up on that. They're all taken as far out as the last metro stop. So if you really want to be at the inauguration, stay in Pennsylvania or West Virginia or central Virginia and drive yourself to a DC Metro station in the wee hours of the morning. Don't even think of driving in to DC itself.
3. Your uncle's second wife could stage an "Inaugural Ball". Most of the "Inaugural Balls" are chances for party organizers to rake in gobs of money from clueless visitors for lame drinks and a chance to possibly see a third-rank celebrity on stage who was famous 20 years ago and… that's really it. The rich and famous have already bought up the tickets to the small handful of Balls where the Obamas will show up. Don't be suckered into shelling out hundreds of dollars for a lame warehouse event.
4. Bring layers, heat packs, discreet cash, a teeny radio and beef jerky. Sure, it might be 50 degrees and sunny on Inauguration Day 2009. But it might also be 36 degrees and raining, as it was on Inauguration Day 2001. Wear layers, which you can always wrap around your waist if it gets warm. Make your top layer a poncho. In case it gets extra cold, bring the little heat packs that work when exposed to air. They weigh next to nothing but will keep you happily warm. Stuff cash in various odd places because you'll need it especially if you can't get out of the city. Everyone will be in line for the eateries that take credit. You'll be able to eat at a cash-only stand if you get desperate (or just don't want to give up your coveted place on the sidewalk). Bring beef jerky if you're a carnivore: it's light and filling. And get yourself one of those micro FM radios with earbuds. That way, you can listen in on Obama's inauguration speech even if you can't get close, and if something unexpected goes down you can know what's up.
5. Don't bring poles, sticks, or heavy gear. There will be a large security perimeter through which officers simply won't allow anything that possible could be used as anything like a weapon. And after hour 4 and mile 4 of carrying that boom box, you'll set it down and leave it on the curb anyway.
6. See a bathroom? Go to the bathroom. This thing is going to be like a chilly Woodstock. A chilly, urine-soaked Woodstock. Take advantage of all opportunities.
7. If you're healthy and strong, walk in. The DC Metro could run fourteen trains a minute and not keep up with the traffic demand after the Inaugural Parade ends… and the Secret Service has nixed cars. Park five miles out in Maryland and take an hour to mosey each way. Leave the metro for people who can't walk five miles.
8. Get onto the parade route soon and stay there. After Pennsylvania Avenue fills to capacity, security officials won't let anyone in. So get your necessities elsewhere, get them early, then stick tight where you are.
9. Keep yourself updated. Visit the DC Metro, Senate, Washington Post, and DC city government Inauguration websites for updated information.

Gifton Links
Burnley striker Gifton Noel-Williams is reportedly wanted by Millwall and Brighton, as the relegated pair try to strengthen their sides for next season.
Noel-Williams, who finished the season with a loan spell at Brigton, is also at the head of new Millwall manager Nigel Spackman's list, as he looks to build a side to bounce straight back to the Championship at the first attempt.
Noel-Williams was one of four players placed on the transfer list by Clarets boss Steve Cotterill at the end of the season, but it is thought that the two clubs would prefer to have the player on loan for the 06/07 season.
Whether Burnley would accept this is open to debate, as Cotterill looks to strengthen his own squad for next season.
The big striker struggled in his first season at Turf Moor, scoring just two goals in 17 starts, with a further 12 substitute appearances.

Taku winds predicted for Juneau area
JUNEAU - The National Weather Service is predicting strong Taku winds - northeast winds of 30 to 50 mph with gusts in excess of 70 mph - will develop this morning and continue into the night.
The arctic airmass moving down from the Yukon will cause clear skies and cold temperatures today and into the weekend. The weather service is predicting high winds will continue into Thursday and possibly Friday.
Loose objects such as trash cans and Christmas decorations should be brought indoors. Vessels in Douglas and Harris harbors should be moored as best as possible. If you venture out in the winds, stay alert for debris, the weather service said.
Residential fires keep Red Cross busy
JUNEAU - A fire Monday that left one man homeless and his roommate at Bartlett Regional Hospital was the third in less than a week that required help from the Red Cross in Juneau.
"This is our busiest time of year," said Elayne Boyce, district director for the American Red Cross in Southeast Alaska. She said the organization sees an increase in requests for emergency assistance, mostly because of an increase in house fires.
Last Wednesday, the Red Cross helped people living in a trailer at the Switzer Trailer Park. Thursday, they helped after a fire in the Sleepy Spruce Apartments near Salmon Creek.
Emergency assistance typically consists of finding people a place to stay, food to eat, necessary medications, health items and clothes to wear. The Red Cross also helps famillies plan their long-range recovery, Boyce said.
On the average, the American Red Cross of Alaska provides $1,000 for each family it assists with recovery from disasters, although larger families can require more help, she added.
Juneau's Red Cross office can be reached at 463-5713 or www.alaska.redcross.org.
Tlingit master carver rescued
KETCHIKAN - Nathan Jackson, a Tlingit master totem pole carver, was rescued after losing his boat during a deer hunting trip on Annette Island, Alaska State Troopers said Tuesday.
Jackson, 66, was reported overdue by his daughter, Rebecca Lakouad, at about 5 p.m. Monday.
Troopers launched a search from a boat launch a few miles south of Ketchikan, scanning the area with a spotlight, said Sgt. Bernard Chastain.
Wildlife trooper Mark Finses saw a distant light flashing from Annette Island about eight miles to the south. The light turned to be Jackson signaling with his flashlight.
Troopers and the Coast Guard found him at the northern tip of the Southeast Alaska island shortly before 10 p.m. Monday.
Snowmobile crash victim identified
GALENA - Alaska State Troopers on Tuesday identified the man who died in a Yukon River snowmobile accident the day before as 23-year-old Clarence Demoski of Galena.
Demoski was a passenger on the snowmobile when it hit a snow drift Monday, throwing both Demoski and the driver, troopers said.
Demoski was pronounced dead at the Galena clinic.
Edgar James Honea, the 16-year-old driver, was treated and released in Galena for broken ribs and bruising, troopers said.
Galena is 270 air miles west of Fairbanks.
Biologists: Highway would affect wildlife
KENAI - A proposal to reroute a section of the Sterling Highway five miles north of the Kenai River near Cooper Landing would have significant affect wildlife there, biologists said.
Moving the road across Juneau Creek between miles 45 and 60 is one of four alternatives being considered for upgrading the Sterling Highway. Of the other proposals, two would relocate portions of the highway south of the river and a third would upgrade the existing route.
The state is not expected to pick a route until next year.
A report prepared for the state released earlier this month said the Juneau Creek alternative probably would have the least impact on fish habitat.
But Alaska Department of Fish and Game commercial fisheries biologist Dave Westerman criticized the report, saying several species of fish are in Juneau Creek throughout the year, including trout and Dolly Varden.
Westerman said the draft fisheries evaluation prepared by HDR Alaska only sampled streams in the area when water was extremely low, and only one stream was found to have fish.
"They needed to look at those creeks during the spring, summer and fall," Westerman said.
Usibelli is investor in natural gas project
ANCHORAGE - Andex Resources said it has signed agreements with investors to explore for natural gas in Interior Alaska's Nenana basin.
Investors include Usibelli Energy, an affiliate of Usibelli Coal Mine of Healy, and two Native regional corporations, Fairbanks-based Doyon Ltd. and Barrow-based Arctic Slope Regional Corp.
Under the agreement Andex, which has offices in Houston and Denver, will continue to be the operator of the project, and, according the Usibelli vice president Steve Denton, continues to own "the lion's share of the project."
Andex said an exploration program is planned to assess the natural gas resources of more than 500,000 acres it has under lease through both an exploration license and leases from the state of Alaska, the Mental Health Lands Trust and Doyon.
Alaska Stryker team gets new mascot
FAIRBANKS - The 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team has traded a bird for a wolf.
The brigade is now known as the "Arctic Wolves" after military leaders granted a request to drop the "Snow Hawk" mascot.
"We just felt that the Arctic Wolves was more in line with our future of transformation," said Col. Mike Shields, commander of the 172nd. "They hunt as a pack, never leave a comrade, hunt and commute over extended distances - in Alaska over 1,000 miles - survive in darkness and six or seven months of extreme cold weather, and hunt and kill any prey that they run into."
