South 2 West 8 Rugby Shirt
—01. Green with dark red stripe.
—02. Collar detail.
—03. Underarm detail.
South 2 West 8 offers a great rendition of the traditional rugby shirt in two colourways. The attention to detail and durability of this piece really give it an authentic feel. The classic rugby collar tends to be white but the natural cotton blends in nicely with stripes in both colours. I really don't have anything like this but I think it would blend well with a pair of chinos or fatigues.

Social Studies: Honoring rays behind Sunshine miracles
Updated 5:05 pm, Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Whether hiring a teacher or staging a play, Sunshine Cottage School for Deaf Children deploys care and quality to give students the best possible learning experience. This is my observation after having had the privilege of helping the school plan its 50th anniversary in the mid-1990s. Its attendant insistence on character shone last week at the school's Legacy Lunch in unexpected ways.
The lunch, in the gym of the Lake/Flato-designed campus, honored the Junior League of San Antonio, an organization integral to the Sunshine Cottage story: Founder Dela White sought volunteers and organizational support from the league to start a school for deaf children. She and her husband, the late John H. White, had learned their toddler, Tuleta, was deaf (the word they prefer.) The school started in 1947 with eight students in a cottage behind Landa Library. Since the donated paint happened to be yellow, the name was description as well as metaphor.
Though WOAI-TV sports anchor and luncheon emcee David Chancellor told compelling stories about miracles at Sunshine Cottage - he hears them from his mother, school receptionist Renee Chancellor - grown men wept after hearing the remarks of Becky Lowell
Lowell and husband Matt Lowell are the parents of Laci, a talkative first-grader who started in Sunshine Cottage's Parent-Infant Program at 10 months of age. The Lowells had just been told that in addition to her other birth defects, including blindness, Laci was deaf.

"Our first meeting with (PIP director) Lisa Lopez was the first day since Laci was born that I felt hope," Becky Lowell told the group. "When Sunshine helped Laci use her cochlear implant and learn to speak, I finally moved from being a nurse to being a mother." A video about Laci ended with her telling a funny story about a family camping trip - truly amazing given her problems.
After board Chairman Michael Green and Executive Director Carolyn Walthall presented League President Debbie Callihan-Dingle with an engraved tray, one more miracle was in store with the drawing of the door prize ticket. Lupita Tijerina won the prize, a $500 gift certificate to Julian Gold.
"This has been an emotional day," school CEO Jerry Christian told the guests, halting to prevent tears, after Tijerina approached the stage. "Lupita has donated the ticket back to Becky Lowell." Two hundred fifty people jumped to their feet in applause for both women.
"I've never heard of Julian Gold," said Lowell, who lives in Cibolo and has been a trifle busy. "But I'm looking forward to going."
Mr. Gurwitz (Julian Gold owner), roll out the red carpet.

When I wrote The Cat in the Cradle way back in 1863, there wasn't a lot of music and images that inspired me as I worked. I suppose my fascination with the color spectrum was a definite influence, and I know my lifelong love of Pier's Anthony's Apprentice Adept series was a definite inspiration. Aside from that, the process was much different than with my later books. With From Darkness to Darkness, I started out with an image of Cole, as you can see on the left. A little bit emo and a lot a bit hot, having a photo like this was very inspiring for the character's mood and demeanor. I don't know the model's name, unfortunately, but having a starting point for one of the main characters was very helpful.
Music is always a huge influence when I write. I can't stand having it on while I'm working, but I'll often play different songs beforehand to get in the right mood. This time, Alphaville's Inside Out had the right vibe. The lyrics seem to be about a relationship that took a wrong turn, perhaps due to a twist of fate.
"And always I think where we might have gone, if we'd never met inside this song."
That's very suiting to the events of the plot, since both Cole and Dylan spend some time pondering what could have been. Naturally this song is also where I took the book's title. I had this track and another called New Horizons playing on frequent rotation while working on this story. I obsessively hammered out the first draft in under a month, which I believe remains the fastest I've written any book. Something about writing fantasy leaves me exhausted, but I hope a similar fever overtakes me someday for a third installment.
Getting back to pretty pretty faces, I also had model inspiration for Natasha. She doesn't have a large part in The Cat in the Cradle, but I enjoyed writing her enough that I wanted to give Natasha a bigger role in From Darkness to Darkness. Probably the biggest downside to writing gay romance is the main protagonist always being male. I suppose there are some creative ways around this, and I should probably take advantage of them. I've been blessed to have numerous strong and talented females in my life, and I'm always channeling them when I write characters like Natasha. She might appear timid or insecure at first glance, but she knows who she is, and by the end of the novel, I pity anyone that stands in her way.
The Loka Legends series feels a little bit like a pet project to me. My contemporary romances might occasionally draw on autobiographical events, but this fantasy series is like a letter to my younger self. He grew up devouring such books, and in a way I'm doing my best to entertain him. "Hey, check out these crazy magical powers and the talking cat! By the way, it's okay to be gay and people like you can find love and have a meaningful relationship. Oh, and be sure to check out the illustrations. You'll never guess who drew them all!" Until I get my time machine up and running, I can't be sure if angsty younger Jay would appreciate my efforts or not, but hopefully these stories speak to the hearts of many people, no matter how young or old they might be.

NEW YORK (May. 4)
The Bermuda Conference today was termed "a failure and a great disappointment" by Adolph Held, president of the Jewish Labor Committee, addressing the forty-third annual convention of the Workmen's Circle, largest Jewish labor fraternal organization in the world with a membership of 72,000.
Discussing the plight of the Jews in Nazi Europe, Mr. Held reported that the Jewish Labor Committee in conjunction with other leading Jewish organizations, submitted its proposals to the Bermuda parley, in the hope that the conference would give a proper answer in accordance with the conscience of the people of the United States and England and in reply to the requests of the persecuted Jews. The gathering, however, turned out to be far from a "rescue conference," he said.

It's a declaration that has invaded the American psyche. First bellowed by the fictional newscaster Howard Beale in the 1976 movie "Network," "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore" has been used countless times to capture the churning frustrations in American society. We have been "not taking it anymore" for a long while.
The man responsible for "Network" and that ringing howl of outrage was Paddy Chayefsky, and he was not pleased with the way the line was embraced. Other screenwriters might welcome the attention, but he thought his corporate satire's larger message was being reduced to caricature. Dave Itzkoff's "Mad as Hell" chronicles not only Chayefsky's arduous efforts to get "Network" made but also the influence its several messages have had. It is Stephen Colbert's favorite movie, for one thing.
A "short, stocky Bronx-born Jew," in Itzkoff's words, Sidney Chayefsky was at basic training during World War II when, one morning, he claimed he couldn't perform KP duty because he had to attend Catholic Mass. "Sure you do, Paddy," was his superior officer's response, and the sarcastic nickname stuck. A remarkable career followed — through the early years of television, a few years of stage plays and many movies. Chayefsky won screenwriting Oscars for "Marty" (1955), "The Hospital" (1971) and "Network" before his death at age 58 in 1981.
Itzkoff draws on extensive research to explain the provenance of "Network." As shown in a fascinating series of background notes, drafts and memos, Chayefsky forged through multiple scenarios before he hit upon a version that was dramatic, comic and bleak enough to satisfy him. Perhaps more for his own enjoyment than for practical purposes, he also created a seven-day programming grid for UBS, his fictional network, which put ratings ahead of morality, art or useful information. That schedule included such shows as "Celebrity Mah-jongg," "Lady Cop" and "Pedro and the Putz."
In his contract for "Network," Chayefsky insisted on getting extensively involved in the production process, including being given the highly unusual power (for a screenwriter) of approving the final cut. Sidney Lumet possessed the confidence to direct the film under this unorthodox arrangement. Alan Heim, who edited "Network," explained: "Most of the directors who worked in New York basically did what they wanted. A good director — you make a good movie, nobody's going to meddle too much." As luck would have it, Lumet and Chayefsky worked together compatibly, even when Chayefsky literally got in the way of filming.
Itzkoff has gathered plenty of background material about the people involved in "Network," including former matinee idol William Holden. By the time he was cast as veteran newsman Max Schumacher, his golden-boy career had suffered, but Itzkoff goes overboard in writing that Holden was regarded in 1976 as "an old zoo animal to throw peanuts at, a charmingly obsolete vaudevillian."
Playing the film's central woman, Faye Dunaway is presented as a difficult curiosity. Itzkoff quotes Roman Polanski, who directed Dunaway in "Chinatown," as saying, "You have, I guarantee, never seen such certifiable proof of craziness." Itzkoff also claims that Dunaway was the source of most of the filming's "occasional blowups and breakdowns," but he offers little by way of specifics. Dunaway certainly gave a whirlwind of a performance as a programming exec with script ideas and ratings numbers pouring ceaselessly out of her mouth, even in the midst of a sexual tryst. She offers a welcome reprieve from male harangues and Beale's fainting spells.
Dunaway played her absurdist heroine with complete conviction and, like Finch (who died while promoting the film) and supporting actress Beatrice Straight, was rewarded with an Oscar. The glory didn't last long, however. The media lambasted her for a photo of her lounging at the Beverly Hills Hotel, allegedly showing too little reverence for her nearby statuette.
Part of what makes "Network" worth watching today is its restless mood of strain and struggle. As Ben Affleck told Itzkoff: "The difference between commerce and art is that in art there is a kind of insurgency. And there's a profound insurgency in 'Network.' " Chayefsky wanted to jolt people back to their humanity, and he wasn't just talking about programming executives. He worried about audiences, too, and the way they were numbed to the outside world.
Among Chayefsky's messages, it is the film's prophecy of entertaining, profit-driven news programming that has made it a cultural touchstone. Itzkoff interviews a range of national figures — from Oliver Stone to Bill O'Reilly to Colbert — who, long after the three networks of 1976 were joined by millions of other news-gatherers and sharers, have not forgotten Howard Beale.
O'Reilly notes the importance of entertaining people as well as informing them, saying: "I think Syria's an important story, but I can't cover it. Nobody's going to watch, and I know that. That's the limitations of my job." With the exception of the assassination of an on-air personality, Keith Olbermann claims, "I have seen everything in that movie come true, or it's happened to me." Colbert, in turn, laments the attitude adopted by so many present-day broadcasters: "I will tell you what to think and how to feel."
Almost 40 years after "Network," we're less mad than distracted, looking to be amused. We could use another Paddy Chayevsky.

By contributing writer Rayna St. Pierre.
When my husband and I first moved to our little town — technically a village — seven years ago, we were settling into new roles as parents. But that was just the beginning. Perhaps in a scheme to see how much we could handle without suffering some sort of breakdown, we'd each started new jobs that September, he at a company that shortened his commute by half an hour, me at a new school in the adjacent town.
No wonder, then, that it took us a couple of years to catch up to village life, to be able to relax and open ourselves up enough to finally take part in — and feel part of — the close-knit community in which we found ourselves.
On the one hand, we had to get over our reticence and skepticism. When a town considers its graduating class of eighty to be "huge!" that's a sign that you're living in a place where everyone knows your name — and eventually much of your business. So there was that.
Plus, Kevin and I have always been hooked on new beginnings. Call it the perfectionist streak in us both, the never-ending appeal we always found in leaving one place behind and heading somewhere new. Sure, we were happy where we were, but in the back of our heads we'd always be thinking about where we would go next.
Establishing roots by digging in with new friendships hardly seemed worth it when we'd probably be moving again within a couple of years.
It was only after we decided — with two kids by then — that we quite liked where we were, and wouldn't it be a good test of character to stay, that we adopted a more permanent we're-part-of-it-now mindset.
By then, our oldest had started school, and that in itself kind of thrust us into a semblance of community life.
Turns out, we both like being involved. Not bad for two chronic non-joiners! Once our oldest started Little League, Kevin soon found himself assistant T-ball coach two years in a row. I discovered that I really enjoyed catching up with relentlessly cheerful neighbors in town, that it was often more preferable to trudging through errands anonymously.
Recently, I've made a conscious effort to step away from my computer and engage even more with the living. My happiness quotient has shot up higher than ever. The more I let community wrap its warm, comforting arms around me — and everyone, but everyone, is nice to a pregnant lady with a kid in each hand — the more wonderfully alive I feel.
Here then, are my Rules of Engagement for Modern Women:
1. Subscribe to your local newspaper
If you only subscribe to national newsweeklies or newspapers (and only listen to NPR and the BBC) as I used to do — a habit left over from college, when I was a pseudo-intellectual — you're going to miss out on things that are going on right in your own backyard.
Subscribe to your local paper, and not only will you be acquainted with the types of crimes that are regular features of the Police Calls section (always fascinating), but you'll also develop a sense of place. And nothing fosters gratitude so much as living in the present (versus living in the Travel section, which only fosters restlessness).
2. Use your local library
I know everyone loves their e-readers — myself included. Last summer, my husband and I spent a couple hundred dollars on e-books. We were blissfully unaware until we took account at the end of the summer, at which point we were simultaneously aghast at our inattention and impressed by our literary prolificity.
If you want to foster a sense of community, it's important to take advantage of your local library, and not only because it's there for you, as a resident of the town. Libraries offer superb programs — for free — that also allow you to meet and mingle with neighbors.
You might just find that more people share your interests than you thought! An English afternoon tea was well-received last summer, as was a lecture on Korean culture followed up by a luncheon offering authentic dishes. It's fun to learn, and even more of a delight to find out who around you is interested in the same things.
3. If possible, find a local parish
Our church is literally right down the street from our house, and it just so happens that it's a great fit for our family. By "great fit" I simply mean that most of our neighbors of the same faith go there — again, it's just another way to relate to those around us.
Which leads me to this maxim: discover different ways of looking at your neighbor. Just when you think you have absolutely nothing in common with someone, you find yourself chanting the same prayer at the same time, and voila! — a connection is made.
4. Be friendly
I really like people. I like listening to their stories and hearing about their lives. I like making people smile and waving at the ones who give me the finger when they don't like the way that I'm driving (that's a lesson from my father, and it only happened once, but it was much better than giving the finger back).
I've found that a simple "hello" and a smile is all that it takes to make every interaction that much sweeter.
5. Frequent locally owned businesses
They're not often cheaper than online retailers, big box stores, or chain restaurants, but sometimes it's worth it to put your money where your heart is. To continue enjoying the charm of local shops downtown, show your support by patronizing when you can. It's good for the local economy, and again, it fosters that sense of place.
6. Lower your expectations
Not everyone needs to be your best friend, nor do you want them to. Accept that we all have our quirks and imperfections, and you'll start to enjoy other people's company that much more.
7. Lend a helping hand and be kind
Thank the bus driver each morning, if only because they get your child safe and sound to school 180 days out of the year. Help your neighbor shovel the driveway. Pull the garbage bin to the curb for the elderly lady down the street. These are small ways to make you feel good about yourself and reclaim that vintage value known as Neighborliness.
In this day and age of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Goodreads, Instagram, and blogs, I really encourage you to get out there and connect with people you can talk to face-to-face (not Face Time to Face Time). As wonderful as social media is for keeping us connected with loved ones miles away, nothing compares to socializing and interacting with the people who physically surround us.
As Leo Tolstoy so eloquently described his idea of the good life: "A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness."

Re: Is orgins still apart of the timeline now?
I wish they never even adopted the bone claw idea cinematically. Something about it is very uninspired to me. The only reason it exists is because comics needed to maintain his signature weapons (and the postures that come with only that and potential sales) after Magneto stripped him off his adamantium. I think it takes some of the pain off his painful past when those who experimented on him simply coated his already lethal claws with adamantium, as opposed to reinforcing him with completely alien objects that are not even remotely a part of his natural physiology, held together by the miracle of his healing factor, therefore turning an already deadly agent into an even deadlier animal, something he tried his best to turn away from, making it all the more tragic.

In an interview during a thanksgiving party for ABS-CBN's "Imortal," Velez said that aside from John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin, her co-stars in "Imortal," she also hopes to work with Alonzo, whom she described as a great actress. "Well si Bea isa sa pinakamagaling nating artista ngayon when it comes to acting," Velez said. Dubbed as Miss Beautiful of her generation, Velez cited not only Alonzo but also her mother network for a job well done when it comes to honing its stars. "Lahat nasa ABS-CBN. I think ABS-CBN management really takes it seriously na dapat hindi lang sikat ang isang artista o maganda. Kailangan magaling ding umarte," she said. Velez figured in a controversy after she expressed her opinion about the acting of Marian Rivera, who did the TV remake of Velez's film "Babaeng Hinugot Sa Aking Tadyang." In the interview, Velez maintained that she was just giving her opinion as an actress. "Alam mo naging isyu nga 'yon. In fact ang daming nagagalit sa akin [na mga] Marian fans because of the opinion I said. Alam mo kasi nag-filmmaking din kasi ako. Nakalimutan ko na nasa showbiz na pala ako so kailangan maging plastic ako at hindi magbigay ng tamang opinion. "So nagkamali ako doon kasi ako lang naman sinasabi ko kung ano ang opinion ko. Wala akong masamang sinasabi. Siyempre may karapatan ako kasi pelikula ko 'yon at ako ang gumanap doon so pwede kong sabihin kung nagustuhan ko o hindi." Velez said she never intended to hurt anyone because she also experienced getting constructive criticisms when she was also starting in showbiz. "Pero ako hindi ako nagalit kahit kanino. Para sa akin constructive criticisms 'yon kaya pinagbuti ko lang ang acting ko at ang craft ko. I think that's the way other actresses or actors should take it. Opinion ko lang naman 'yon pero baka ang iba ay nagandahan, hindi ba? Pero ako, 'yon nga ang sinabi ko--'Kulang sa anghang.' 'Yon lang," Velez said.

Doubts In The Midst Of Greens
I'm attending New York Green Fest this weekend. The Green Fest promises to "celebrate sustainable living and Green politics", but I've that even within this group of people who ought to be among the most environmentally aware, there are patches of of soot grey obscuring the green color.
One attendee from close by, who uses electricity obtained through the burning of coal that very likely is obtained through mountaintop removal mining, mentions her interest in organizing against the construction of wind turbine. She doesn't want it in her backyard, she says.
Another attendee, a college professor, confided to me in private conversation that, "I'm not sure climate change is real." She said that, though she's not a scientist herself, she gathers that there is a great deal of controversy and disagreement among scientists about whether climate change is actually happening. She also speculated that the measurements of rising global temperature might be due to the "urban heat island effect", with temperatures measured only in cities with increasing amounts of hot pavement. (Actually, where temperatures are measured as warming the most is in the polar regions, where there are no cities at all.)
It's a testament to the effectiveness of corporate-funded misinformation campaigns that these ideas are coming up even amongst a gathering of Green Party activists. It seems that environmental education efforts need to take place as much within eco-oriented groups as without.

As American forces yesterday entered the second day of an intensive operation against guerilla fighters in Baghdad, the US commander in the region said his troops faced an enemy that was well equipped, organised and financed.
The Iraqi insurgents numbered around 5000 fighters, said General John Abizaid, head of US Central Command. They were organised in small cells, made up largely of determined Baath loyalists and co-ordinated at "very high levels".
Their aim was not to militarily defeat the US and its allies but to break their will, General Abizaid said. "The clear and most dangerous enemy to us at the present time are the former regime loyalists," he said.
In a detailed briefing on US operations in Iraq, General Abizaid said the goal of the guerillas was simple: "Break our will, make us leave before Iraq is ready to come out and be a member of the responsible community of nations.
"It is very important for us to close with that enemy, to discover their cellular structure, to unravel it and to remove that threat," he added.
But in an indication of the confusion in US military intelligence, he rejected a claim by one of his senior officers on the ground, Major-General Charles Swannack, that Saddam Hussein had planned the guerilla insurgency before the war.
On Thursday, General Swannack told The Washington Post: "I believe Saddam Hussein always intended to fight an insurgency should Iraq fall."
General Swannack, responsible for operations in the so-called Sunni triangle between Baghdad, Tikrit and Ramadi, said: "That's why you see so many of these arms caches out there in significant numbers all over the country. They were planning... an insurgency."
General Abizaid dismissed this analysis, saying: "I think Saddam Hussein is one of the most incompetent military leaders in the history of the world. To give him any credit, to think that somehow or other he planned this, is absolutely beyond my comprehension."
The briefing came after days of mounting violence in Iraq, culminating with the attack on an Italian base in Nasiriyah that killed at least 28 and wounded scores of others. In retaliation, the US has stepped up aggressive counter-insurgency operations, including air strikes.
But there is confusion in the Bush Administration over the strategy in Iraq.
General Abizaid took issue with reports that the CIA had found growing numbers of Iraqis believed the US could be driven out of the country.
"It is clear that they all understand that they cannot militarily defeat the United States of America," he said. "Any CIA person I have spoken to, and I've spoken to all of them, they also know that we can't be defeated militarily."

Tomorrow's the birth anniversary of Phillips Brooks (1835), clergyman and composer of "O Little Town of Bethlehem", the end of the North and South Korean War (1991), Sweden's Santa Lucia Day (festival of lights) and Archie Moore's birth anniversary (1913-a colorful boxer who lied about his age to fight, held the light-weight title for nine years, married five times, had an unusual diet and was quite outspoken on many items.
Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant is up for a license renewal. Sold to Exelon, First Energy, in 2009 it has received two short term license renewals (one year each) and is now looking for a long term renewal (until 2049). Exelon does not want to do an environmental impact study. The last comprehensive study was done around 1970 when they were first getting ready to operate. Exelon says things have not changed that much to warrent a new comprehensive study. For one thing, they want it licensed for years longer than it was designed to last. I would say on those grounds alone, an impact study is needed. For another thing, this is a year after the Fukushima disaster in Japan. There are concerns about the possibility of a loss of power to the plant and whether there is enough back up on site to keep the nuclear rods cool. Nuclear energy is a very dangerous power source, we can't take short cuts here. Nuclear waste is going to last longer than humankind has been on earth. This is not the same as me doing poor schedule management and serving my breakfasts late.
Did you see where Alex Baldwin was thrown off a plane because while at a gate he was playing a game on his cell phone and was kind of loud and refused to calm down. His one version seems to differ than the six submitted by the flight crew, including the pilot that was called to help get Baldwin out of the rest room he refused to vacate. Because he refused to be civil and was asked to leave the plane, he's boycotting the airline and sending Tweets asking others to do the same. This is the mature adult that wants to be the mayor of New York. I can see him hosting heads of state at our possibly most important city. 🙂 Considering how most of our politicians are behaving, he should fit right in.
Finished decorating the Inn last week, but both trees were crooked. That's why I didn't include them in the last post, here's the more conventional one in the Parlor:
And here's my Caribbean tree. It's all hand painted fish, sea shell ornaments and the garland is actual fish net I cut into strips and spray pained red.
I'm working on the third tree in the Ballroom for a holiday party this weekend. Any of you that have been here over the holidays may have noticed those odd oval things hanging in my front windows. They are all coconuts that I've spray painted and then painted holiday symbols on them like snowmen, Christmas tree, candy canes, etc.
I didn't say they were good, but they're cute. So I'm finishing up doing about two dozen small coconuts for the Ballroom tree. I'll post a picture of this tree (and hopefully it will be clearer than the two above) on my next blog. Things to look forward to, anticipation. 🙂
Speaking of decorating, "Anything that's not a solid, natural material has chemicals and toxins in it". Making our homes more energy efficient is a good thing, but it's trapping VOC's (volatile organic compounds). These come into our homes everday with cleaning products, dry cleaning, new carpeting, etc. The heaviest amount of of VOC's usually disperse after about two weeks after introduction, but they still build up. I am your white knight coming to your rescue. PLANTS! Live plants suck those nasty VOC's out of our household air and expell oxygen. Sounds like a win win for human kind. And the best part, the most effective plants at cleaning our air are low maitenance and don't need a "lot of sun", a "lot of shade", a "lot of extra care", etc. I have about half of them in my sun room (did I mention they are easy to care for? 🙂 ). Here's the list: Mother-in-law's tongue (I have two varieties), Peace Lily (there's three in the Library), Asparagus Fern (I have it's cousin Foxtail Fern in the Parlor), English Ivy, Philodenron (slow growing in the front dining room window), Aloe vera, African Violet, Dumb Cane, Rubber Plant (they died outside), and Bamboo Palm. Go for it, get a couple of small of these plants, spread them around and see how it helps your well being. If you notice they don't seem happy, try moving them to new locations (if the plants don't look happy, they don't necessarily need more sun or less sun, just try a new location. Air flow may help them adjust to your home better). Trust me, you can get into being a detective. And when you find the right combination/location you will LOVE your success! Remember, the biggest mistake most people make with plant is over watering. It's better to under wate than over water. Also, Jack or Peterson's are two of the best water soluable plant foods.
Have a great day tomorrow (and forever 🙂 ),

John K. says; David Schuster of MSNBC called Ron Paul "the al queda wing of the Republican Party". Question, by removing my posts did that get Ron Paul anymore delegates or does it just show censorship by the vary people who whine about censorship?

Dear John K:
Here is the deal. Add something to the thread on the post that it follows. If you just smear and call names and flame away -- off topic -- then the post will be NUKED.
Bring your "A-game" here, on topic.
I don't give a care what some other said of RON PAUL. If this was a David Schuster thread -- then fine. But it is NOT.
If David Schuster wants to post here in his own words -- fine.
If you are a jackass and want to say that a 10-term member of the US Congress is something -- based on the article above -- then speak for yourself.

John K. says; Yep, just like Ron Paul. He is right and if you disagree you get censored. Remember, his supporters threatened the life of Glenn Beck. My point, is it was before, He had 0 (Zero) no delegates. He is at 6% in SC. The public sees thru this guy. Now you can censor that, but it is a fact.

My Story…
December 21, 2015 was the anniversary date of my 4th year since I moved from Monterrey, México with my family to St. Louis, MO. The reason? Many I would say. The main reason? To pursue my MBA.
While in Mexico I was working as a Marketing / Business Development professional in the Medical Devices Industry. Great job! I loved it! I learned so many cool things, met very smart people, made big business decisions, locked down many negotiations, closed many important deals, overcame many difficulties.
My main clients were physicians and cardiologist seeking to save the next patient. In this business your clients can become your closest friends since you spend a great amount of time with them and you get to know and live each patient's story (good or bad) with your client very close; it becomes a matter of success and failure per each case.
In this industry Lobbying is King and that means a nice, vast, and sufficient budget devoted exclusively to "take care of your client". Fancy restaurants, cool bars, exotic "cantinas", conferences, PR events, -you name it- are critical to keep up with your monthly quota; so, the amount of hours in surgery rooms were directly proportional to the amount of hours recovering of a long, hard working days! In other words, I was out of my house from 6am till 1am almost every day, traveling, assisting emergency procedures in the middle of the night, covering shifts, etc. Money? That wasn't an issue! It just kept flowing in like streams of water during the raining season! That was awesome! I built my custom house in just 4 months and paid cash for it!
Nonetheless, in the middle of this ecstasy I was losing control of my mind, my time, my health, but most importantly my wife and family.
I'm 100% confident that our lives get magically stressed at the right moment, in the perfect time, with the exact amount of energy to test ourselves. It is times like these that awaken us to the important lessons and the real meaning of life and its intrinsic worth. In these moments we have to be able to pause, meditate and evaluate the whole picture in order to capitalize and mature as human beings.
It was September 27, 2010 when all of a sudden out of the blue a shoulders shake from above came to my life and my family. My dad had been kidnapped on his way home from his business. Four days of intense agony, distress, anguish, pain in the chest, insomnia, tears, fear, rage, anxiety, confusion, disbelief and many other feelings crossed my mind. This concoction of feelings crushed my soul and ego, but at the same time made me recover sight of what had been lost in the midst of "professional success."
This awakening was exactly what I needed, I looked at these moments as a sign that a change was needed. Oddly enough several months later, I received an invitation to come to USA to get an MBA. The blessing was that I could offset the cost of the degree by working as a graduate assistant at the University. While my Father was safely home, I began to think about everything that was really important to me, including my family's safety and also about how to spend more time with my family and not be consumed by work.)
The challenge then became was I ready to leave everything behind for the unknown...... Was I willing to abandon a very promising and stable job, a recently built house for an uncertain future....was I ready to take my family to a different country with a different language 2000 miles away from our family,
friends, customs, food, weather, and amenities. Have I mentioned that by this time I was 32, married and had 2 daughters? Well, this added tons to the equation!
Not reasonable sense…So December 20th, 2011 my family and I hit the road toward St. Louis, MO. The only things that we brought with us were clothes, some blankets, and my oldest daughter's bicycle along with our minds and hearts filled with faith and optimism. Everything else we left behind. I can still recall the whole trip from Monterrey to Laredo, TX; my wife kept crying and at some degree was mad at me for taking them away from their comfort and for leaving the secure for the unsafe and the unknown. Little did we know the future that was waiting for us!
The first 17 months were challenging to say the least. My family was adjusting to our new life while I was working 70-80 hours per week trying to study and make ends meet. I can probably say that this time made me mature as a person the right way! It is amazing to me how sometimes a decision that doesn't make any sense turns out to be one of the best decisions of your life…for me this a good reason for being thankful this holiday season.
I would like to conclude this paragraph with the following comment:
How many times have you blame yourself for decisions you have made without deeply pondering the whole picture? Stop now! And take time to analyze your past and your present. Are there any decisions you have to make now in order to change your future? Have you considered your past and how have you improved lately? Are you in the middle of a problem? We must be aware of our life in the middle of our chaos, awareness will bring perspective to our lives. I believe that the new year, is a good time for both personal and professional reflection and I hope all my colleagues, co-workers and friends have that opportunity, as I wish them all a blessed and happy and prosperous New Year.

The University of Colorado filled three key administrative posts — including the Boulder campus' chief financial officer — with retirees who are limited to working 140 days a year but who receive nearly a full salary from the university plus pension payments from the state.
For example, senior vice chancellor and chief financial officer Ric Porreca, 53, retired Feb. 28, 2011, and was rehired to the same post April 1, 2011. He's now eligible for roughly $500,000 in combined CU salary and pension payouts for working the equivalent of seven months a year.
CU officials acknowledged that they did not announce the retirements of Porreca or Jeffrey Lipton, 59, the vice chancellor for administration, to the broader Boulder campus at the time.
But after the Camera raised questions last week about CU's working Public Employees Retirement Association retirees, Chancellor Phil Di-Stefano sent an e-mail to university employees explaining the arrangements — which are allowed under state law — that the campus made with Porreca, Lipton and Joey White, 56, the chancellor's chief of staff, whose retirement was announced in 2008.
In that memo, DiStefano said the employment of PERA retirees can be a cost-effective and valuable personnel strategy.
He added that he plans to make changes to his administrative team over the next 1½ years, announcing that Porreca has agreed to serve as the chief financial officer until the end of 2012.
"I would much prefer that if they choose to work, that their work continues to benefit this university," DiStefano wrote. "This arrangement is not unique to these individuals or to higher education throughout the state."
But some CU employees say providing the perk to those in the upper echelon of the administration is unfair, because while they only are working 140 days a year — and receiving pay from both CU and PERA — the rest of the campus' employees are being asked to do more for less.
CU's ability to rehire high-ranking retirees was enabled by a new state law allowing each campus and the system administration to designate 10 positions that can be filled by PERA retirees who work 140 days a year.
There is no cap on the number of retirees who can work 110 days a year — a more common arrangement in state government.
According to the text of the legislation, the provision is intended to help the university — and other colleges — fill positions where there is a critical shortage of qualified candidates and where the retirees bring unique experience or qualifications to the job.
The Boulder campus filled its 10 slots with the three senior administrators, plus workers who occupy lower-level positions such as office manager, research associate and director of outreach. The list also includes former women's basketball coach Ceal Barry, who earns $51 an hour for her associate athletic director position, according to the university. In January, CU paid her $4,904.85 for her 96 hours of work.
Through the part-time arrangement, Porreca, Lipton and White each still earn their full salaries, but with a 10.65 percent PERA-levied penalty, according to CU system spokesman Ken McConnellogue.
Porreca's annual salary is $327,120, or $292,282 after the 10.65 percent PERA penalty.
According to a PERA eligibility chart, Porreca, who started at CU in 1982, will earn at least 68.2 percent of his highest average salary — calculated over three years — for the rest of his life. That translates to more than $200,000 a year.
Lipton originally retired in May 2006 and has been rehired in several roles on campus. Lipton's yearly salary, after the PERA penalty, is $160,830.
CU pays White an annual salary of roughly $142,000 after the PERA penalty, and she is also eligible to draw from the state retirement fund.
Bronson Hilliard, spokesman for CU's Boulder campus, spoke on behalf of Porreca, Lipton and White, and said that many of the working PERA employees put in long days.
Hilliard said it makes sense for the university to retain Porreca because the seasoned finance chief understands the university's complex budget situation.

The Applicant has been assigned permit number TE-023822-0. The requested permit, which is for a period of 5 years, would authorize the incidental take of the endangered Houston toad (Bufo houstonensis). The proposed take would occur as a result of the construction and occupation of one single family residence each on Lots 5-8, 10-15, 22-24, 25A, 26A, 27A&B, 28A&B, 29A&B, 30A in the Pine Oak Estates Subdivision, Bastrop County, Texas. The Service has prepared the Environmental Assessment/Habitat Conservation Plan (EA/HCP) for the incidental take application. A determination of jeopardy to the species or a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) will not be made before 30 days from the date of publication of this notice. This notice is provided pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Act and National Environmental Policy Act regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). DATES: Written comments on the application should be received on or before May 8, 2000. ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review the application may obtain a copy by writing to the Regional Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 1306, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87103. Persons wishing to review the EA/HCP may obtain a copy by contacting Tannika Engelhard, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 10711 Burnet Road, Suite 200, Austin, Texas 78758 (512/490-0057, extension 242). Documents will be available for public inspection by written request or by appointment only during normal business hours (8:00 to 4:30) at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office, Austin, Texas. Written data or comments concerning the application and EA/HCP should be submitted to the Supervisor, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Austin, Texas at the above address. Please refer to permit number TE-023822-0 when submitting comments. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tannika Engelhard at the above U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office, Austin, Texas. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9 of the Act prohibits the ``taking'' of endangered species such as the Houston toad. However, the Service, under limited circumstances, may issue permits to take endangered wildlife species incidental to, and not the purpose of, otherwise lawful activities. Regulations governing permits for endangered species are at 50 CFR 17.22. Applicant John Schuelke proposes to construct one single family residence on 0.5 acres of each of twenty-two (22) lots (Lots 5-8, 10-15, 22-24, 25A, 26A, 27A&B, 28A&B, 29A&B, 30A) in the Pine Oak Estates Subdivision, Bastrop County, Texas. This action will eliminate less than eleven acres of habitat (0.5 acres or less per homesite) and result in indirect impacts within the lot. The applicant proposes to compensate for this incidental take of the Houston toad by providing $33,000.00 ($1,500.00 per homesite) to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for the specific purpose of land acquisition and management within Houston toad habitat, as identified by the Service. Alternatives to this action were rejected because not developing the subject properties with federally listed species present was not economically feasible and alteration of the project design would not alter the level of impacts. Geoffrey L. Haskett, Acting Regional Director, Region 2, Albuquerque, New Mexico. [FR Doc. 00-8626 Filed 4-6-00; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-55-P

Dear FRONTLINE
In the final debate Gore stated that he would close down failing schools and reopen them in a few days with a completely new staff. Think about this:1. How could this be afforded?2. What about the staff that are performing well?3. Is this the best approach for struggling students?4. This obviously would involve the government bringing in the new staff and take away the local voice and accountability. Is education more like 1+1=2 or is it more similar to a calculus equation?
Karla AnundsonMinneota, MN
I so much appreciate your quizzes. At first choice I choose Bush because I liked him better because of the debates. However, I find I'm more in-line with Nader's views. This has been very educational, and also proves a vote for Nader is NOT taking a vote from Gore!!! I will vote for Nader because of this. Thank you for the opportunity to learn.
Marie Martin
I was undecided before watching the "The Choice 2000" because neither candidate had made any case for my vote with the exception of Bush's common-sense across the board tax cut.
Given the embarassment this country has experienced under the current presidency, I felt that character and leadership were extremely important when making my final decision. Bush and Gore have distinct backgrounds and there are good things to see in each of them.
In my final analysis, Gore hasn't demonstrated that he is his own man, as he claimed to be in the first debate. Gore seems to be a product of his father's ambitions - not of his own. Bush, on the other hand, could have greatly exploited being the President's son but rather took on his own endeavors. With these demonstrations, I am more comfortable with a man like Bush leading our country into the future.
Based on the useful choice "tools" on this website, I have confirmed that Bush generally aligns with my personal stance on various issues.
Ed ZenteraOxford, MI
Firstly, I loved the program. It was fair to both candidates and was a true work of journalism. Of course, can we expect anything less of Frontline?
Are these two the best choices that the greatest country in the world produced?...
All I can say is that I am a pretty strong conservative and I have been considering Ralph Nader. At least he is a comsumer activist with strong convictions. Or maybe I'll just write in John McCain's name and give him a protest vote...what am I saying...you all know I'm voting for Bush.
Carusoe Park
I was brought up middle class. Now I am married 27 years and my husband and I consider ourselves middle class. Al Gore's advertisements tout they will offer tax relief to the middle class. However, when we calculated our tax relief savings under the Bush across-the-board proposal our approximate savings was 17.94% and under the Gore proposal it was 0%. If I had only one question to ask Vice President Gore it would be - In relationship to annual income - Exactly what is your definition of "middle class"?
Linda GoldschmedingAda, MI
It shouldn't trouble me that others have different opinions than my own but I truly fear for the country when it seems that close to have the population prefers George W. Bush on the basis of his "Aw Shucks" personality. As far as I can see, the man is an intellectual lightweight with only the slightest understanding of domestic and foriegn policy issues. Do my fellow voter really believe that G.W.B's personality alone will be enough to represent the nation internationally or tackle the vexing questions arising due to globalization of the world economy. The Russians, French and Chinese don't care whether Bush is a nice guy and many of the people voting for him won't either once the economy goes south. Texas is last or next to last on almost every quality of life measure there is. If Dubya wins this election I'm moving to Canada.
Lucas PhillipsOakland, California
Well, I just took those quizzes, because I'm new to politics and I thought it might be interesting. According to my "Issues Match" I should vote for Nader. However, I find it very difficult to consider this as a real possibility when we all know he won't win. This is one of those tricky issues - should I take a stand and hope against all hope that others will do the same, or back up one of the two that actually has a chance...Gee,I liked it better when I was politically ignorant.
Susan Sims
The environment is a very big issue for me. I cannot believe that G.W. Bush can be so cavalier about going into Alaska. Although I believe in capital punishment for abhorrent crimes and I also believe that hate crimes are more disturbing in a way than a murder of a more personal nature, I had a hard time with his Bushs' smiling when he said those 3 men would pay the ultimate price. It's not a question of justice, but I don't think a politician should smile when he's talking about putting people to death. It's a time for a stern, serious composure. I also believe that gays should have some legal union approved so that they can have the SAME rights as spouses for medical insurance, carrying out living wills, beneficiary for a will, hospital visitation, etc. These things disturb me because ultimately I think I will have to vote for Bush, but I am definitely not happy about it.
Avril Coakley
In this election, my concern is about the future. I have 4 grandchildren, ages 9, 8, 5, and 3. I received a statement from the Social Security Administration which said in part, "In 2015, we will begin to pay out more in benefits than we collect in taxes. By 2037, the trust fund will be exhausted...". Al Gore says he has a plan to extend Social Security until 2054. In the 1st Debate, when asked how he planned to do this by G.W. Bush, Mr. Gore called it "The Full Faith and Credit of the United States Government." I wondered about that phrase and it's meaning. Then I saw the faces of my grandsons and realized the phrase indicated his willingness to significantly raise their tax rates while they are in their prime earning years! The alarm has been being sounded for a number of years. We must reform Social Security now, while we still can. I am not sure G.W.B. has the right plan, but at least he has a plan other than tax my grandchildren and yours into the poor house.
Ronald HithcoxHephzibah, GA
I will vote for George W. Bush because: 1. His record as Governor of Texas has been amazing. Our daughter is a teacher in Texas and has high praise for the specific pluses of his record on education.2. His plan on Social Security will save the system...it can not survive as it now is.3. We now are at the mercy of rogue governments for missile attacks and germ warefare...we have no missile defense policy. Bush/Cheney have a specific policy that I agree with.4. Senior RX plan of Bush is better than Gores. I spent 27 years in a medical-related field and know a lot about what can and can't work.5. Democrats in Texas say that Bush can be trusted to build cooperation in Washington, DC...he did it in Texas.6. Gore has made far too many mistakes in policy, misrepresentations and out in out lies...he is NOT to be trusted.
Gary AlcornLarkspur, CO
The State of Texas, under the leadership of Governor George W. Bush, is ranked:
50th in spending for teacher's salaries 49th in spending on the environment 48th in per-capita funding for public health 47th in delivery of social servies 42nd in child-support collections 4lst in per-capita spending on public education and, 5th in percentage of population living in poverty lst in air and water pollution where did that 70 million dollars go? lst in percentage of poor working parents without insurance lst in percentage of children without health insurance lst in executions average: l every two weeks for Bush's 5 years
Just think of what he could do for you and the rest of the country if he were elected President.
Kathleen LynchMiddletwon, CA
My quandry is whether to vote for Nader, with whose views on key issues like health care I am in agreement, or for Gore, whose views are more conservative than mine but who could undoubtedly work more cooperatively with Congress. I don't want my Nader vote to help elect Bush!!
Tom Townsley
I have some real misgivings about Al Gore. His values, or those issues most important to him, seem to change with the tide: change with how popular he is at the time, or with what group he is speaking to. During his acceptance speech at the DNC, he said that "this is not a popularity contest." But since then, since his popularity has increased a bit, he seems more inclined to be Mr. Cool, relaxing on Oprah in a casual shirt and sport coat like a movie star, not a Presidential hopeful. He changes with the tide. He takes a strong stand against Hollywood one day and then is significantly softer in his approach when asking the very people he spoke out against for money a week later. Who is he true to? Where do his real loyalities lie? He talks about reform, but my gut feeling is that he has learned too much from Bill Clinton - say or do what you must to pacify the people, anything to win. In my opinion, that is not leadership, that is manipulation. And if we allow ourselves, as a nation, to be manipulated like that if our vote sways because he's friends with Tommy Lee Jones, for example then we deserve the slippery underhandedness that comes with a President who will say or do anything to get what he wants.
Camille GoldIdaho Falls, Idaho
To the undecided voters:
I have to admit I'm more than a little perplexed at all the people saying-- and it's not just voters, journalists and others say it all the time-- that there's not much difference between the candidates. At least on the issues I care most about-- the environment, gun control, and access to legal abortion-- there are HUGE differences!
I'd also like to make the point selecting a presidential candidate is not like choosing a spouse. You know, out of such a small field, you're not going to find a candidate that's a "perfect match" with all your beliefs and issues. For instance, I disagree with Gore my candidate on free trade. I'm also more liberal than him on social issues, and I worked on Bradley's campaign in the primaries. But of the 2 major candidates, he's the by FAR the best match with my priorities. I don't at all think of it as choosing "the lesser of two evils"-- I think you have to be realistic about the fact that in a national election, the candidates will ALWAYS be somewhat middle of the road. They are trying to appeal to a hundred million people.
Clare Kernek
I am Texan, born and raised. Up front I must admit that my deepest self supports the goals and ideals set forth by Raplph Nader's Green Party agenda. Unfortunately, at this point in history, the Green Party does not have a chance. The sad reality is that, at this point in history, a vote for the Green Party will be a vote given to George W. Bush. I encourage any voter who has "Green" on their minds to vote for Al Gore. The Green Party needs time to grow and gain momentum in this country. Given the reality of the numbers, Al Gore is the only environmental candidate that makes sense. I sincerely hope that all voters who would vote "Green" this election will take a closer look what their vote will really do for George W. Bush. "Green" voters need to realize that our day will come, and soon, but only if we keep George W. Bush out of the White House. We have an environmental friend in Al Gore. Mr. Gore could do much, once in office, to smooth the way not only for election finance reform, but for the establishment of a viable "Green" third party as well. Texas Green for Gore !!
I find it interesting as one born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and now a current resident of Houston, Texas that the "Profiles of Undecided Voters" all focus on the attitudes of St. Louisians. Frontline undecided focus group is from the more if not most liberal part of Missouri, textured though it may be still by the Catholic church's influence. Additionally, it is important to note that the responses may reflect wittingly or unwittingly the strong connection between St. Louisians and the Bush family. Specifically, former President Bush's mother G.W.'s grandmother was born and raised in St. Louis, and his brother G.W.'s paternal uncle has been a long-time resident of a St. Louis suburb.
With this knowledge, it is not at all surprising to see the responses of the 5 undecided voters. Perhaps a better cross-section of Missourians from St. Louis to the bootheel to Kansas City would have been more truly representative of the Missourian undecided voter. While there is no reason to dispute the contention that Missourians determine the Presidency, I, as a Missourian still at heart, hold true to the state's motto: show me. I want more convincing evidence that the next President has not already been chosen.

There is no denying that Zimbabwe is one of the most peaceful countries in the region. All that despite the punishment the nation has been subjected to for daring to recover, in the past 16 years, its natural resources, particularly land, from white minority settlers. But that peace and stability have come under test in the past few months. Strangely, the biggest threat to that peace and stability has not come directly from the white settlers who have been dispossessed of land, nor their white kith and kin in Britain, America, Canada and Australia.
That threat has not come from the local opposition, although it is prone to making reckless statements. The biggest threat to the national stability and peace of this country in the past few months has come from the governing Zanu-PF, fighting itself along factional lines in pursuit of a successionist agenda.
Thankfully, this threat has not gone unnoticed by the party and national leadership.
President Mugabe called for an end to the factional wars in his State of the Nation Address at State House on February 19. He said we all belong together and to one another. We are all Zimbabweans. "First and foremost," warned the President, "whatever you might say, shut up and let us not hear any divisive voices from the G40 or what you call Lacoste whatever, shut up." The First Lady would say "Stop It!"
President Mugabe did not pretend that these dog fights in the party were a new phenomenon. He acknowledged the contradictions which manifest from time to time in any liberation movement, and in Zanu-PF in particular.
What has distinguished those contradictions of the past from the madness of the past few months, President Mugabe observed, is that in the past "the party had an ideological direction".
That is what is missing now. Instead the ideology of the past has been superseded by loyalty to individuals pursuing political power, naked power without any guiding principle or ideology. That is what we have witnessed in the past few weeks and months. And that is why we view it as the biggest threat to national peace and stability.
When contradictions in the party are informed by a broader party ideology, cadres don't lose their heads and discipline, for those are the attributes which make for order in any self-conscious organisation.
President Mugabe, however, had a lot to lament in the current state of Zanu-PF. "Now, if contradictions develop, they should never be of the nature that is antagonistic, too negative, where people start fighting each other, insulting each other, abusing each other," said the President. And that is precisely what we have witnessed, what we believe constitutes the biggest threat to national peace and stability.
It is a terrible situation in the party, when we hear babies who were not even in their mothers' wombs when Zimbabwe won its independence through the barrel of the gun in 1980, threatening to engage in a physical fight with those who brought that independence.
In other words, these born-frees are prepared to fight the entire leadership of the party and Government, from the President, and the echelons of the Army, the Police, the Prisons and Intelligence services, for those men and women constitute the hierarchy which commanded the liberation movements, the war veterans, of this country. And these misguided Zanu-PF youths, as personified by one Kudzanayi Chipanga, are not fighting for the ideological integrity of the party. They want to fight war veterans in furtherance of successionist politics.
It's a shame; it's disgraceful. Shame on these misguided, overfed youths. We don't know where they derive their audacity from. But we agree with President Mugabe that they lack discipline and we believe for our part that time to restore order in the governing party is long overdue. It's time for ACTION.
"There is need for a whip of discipline now to be shown and to be used," the President said.

|Angelo Badalamenti
|Birth name
|Angelo Badalamenti
|March 22, 1937
|Brooklyn, New York, U.S.
|Film score, jazz, ambient
Angelo Badalamenti (born March 22, 1937) is an American composer, best known for his work scoring films for director David Lynch, notably Blue Velvet, the Twin Peaks saga (1990–1992, 2017), The Straight Story and Mulholland Drive.[1] Badalamenti received the 1990 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance for his "Twin Peaks Theme", and has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the World Soundtrack Awards and the Henry Mancini Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.
Early life[edit]
Badalamenti was born in Brooklyn, New York to an Italian-American family; his father, who was of Sicilian[2] descent, was a fish market owner.[3] He began taking piano lessons at age eight. By the time Badalamenti was a teenager, his aptitude at the piano earned him a summer job accompanying singers at resorts in the Catskill Mountains.[4] He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Eastman School of Music and then earned Master of Arts degrees in composition, French horn, and piano from the Manhattan School of Music in 1960.[4]
Film scoring[edit]
Badalamenti scored films such as Gordon's War, and Law and Disorder, but his big break came when he was brought in to be Isabella Rossellini's singing coach for the song "Blue Velvet" in David Lynch's 1986 film Blue Velvet. Inspired by This Mortal Coil's recent cover of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren", Lynch had wanted Rossellini to sing her own version, but was unable to secure the rights. In its place, Badalamenti and Lynch collaborated to write "Mysteries of Love", using lyrics Lynch wrote and Badalamenti's music. Lynch asked Badalamenti to appear in the film as the piano player in the club where Rossellini's character performs. This film was the first of many projects they worked on together.
After scoring a variety of mainstream films, including A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, he scored Lynch's cult television show, Twin Peaks which featured the vocals of Julee Cruise.[5][6] Many of the songs from the series were released on Cruise's album Floating into the Night.[7] From the soundtrack of the television series, he was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance for the "Twin Peaks Theme".[8] it also earned a gold plaque from the RIAA.[9]
Other Lynch projects he worked on include the movies Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive (where he has a small role as a gangster with a finicky taste for espresso), Rabbits, and The Straight Story as well as the television shows On the Air and Hotel Room. Other projects he has worked in include the television film Witch Hunt, and the films Naked in New York, The City of Lost Children, A Very Long Engagement, The Wicker Man, Dark Water and Secretary. He has also worked on the soundtrack for the video game Fahrenheit (known as Indigo Prophecy in North America). He was composer for director Paul Schrader on such films as Auto Focus, The Comfort of Strangers and Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist. In 1998, Badalamenti recorded "A Foggy Day (in London Town)" with artist David Bowie for the Red Hot Organization's compilation album Red Hot + Rhapsody a tribute to George Gershwin which raised money for various charities devoted to increasing AIDS awareness and fighting the disease. In 2005, he composed the themes for the movie Napola (Before the Fall), which were then adapted for the score by Normand Corbeil. In 2008, he directed the soundtrack of The Edge Of Love, with Siouxsie, Patrick Wolf and Beth Rowley on vocals.
Badalamenti received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the World Soundtrack Awards in 2008.[10] On July 23, 2011, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers presented Badalamenti with the Henry Mancini Award for his accomplishments in film and television music.[11]
In 1966, Badalamenti co-wrote a song ("Visa to the Stars") on Perrey and Kingsley's album The In Sound from Way Out!. In 1967, using the name "Andy Badale", he co-wrote a song ("Pioneers Of The Stars") for Perrey and Kingsley's next album, Kaleidoscopic Vibrations: Electronic Pop Music From Way Out. He also arranged and produced Perrey's two solo albums for Vanguard Records using the "Andy Badale" pseudonym. In 1987, he lent his services to British synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, arranging the orchestration on "It Couldn't Happen Here". Badalamenti also arranged the strings on two tracks on the Pet Shop Boys' Behaviour album in 1990.
In 1993, Badalamenti collaborated with thrash metal band Anthrax on the Twin Peaks-inspired track "Black Lodge" from the Sound of White Noise album. In 1995, he composed, orchestrated and produced Marianne Faithfull's album, titled A Secret Life. In 1996, Badalamenti teamed up with Tim Booth of the British rock band James. As Booth and the Bad Angel, they released an eponymous album on the Mercury label. In 2000, he worked with Orbital on the "Beached" single for the movie The Beach. In 2004, he composed the Evilenko soundtrack working with Dolores O'Riordan, who sang the main theme and with whom he continued collaborating.

Badalamenti conducted a performance during the opening ceremony of the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.[citation needed]

How long has it been since Austinites had a good old fashioned throwdown?
Well neighbor, that's too long.
Having tentatively secured a location, I think it's high time those of us in Central Texas get together and bang.
I'm thinking of shooting for mid to late summer because these TD's seem to always take a month or two of planning before the majority can agree on a date.

When we woke, the room glittered with wounded
soldiers, the sun imprisoned in prismatic bottles,
pale sweat slicked across your skin.
Intoxication perfumed the air: sour hops,
sharp liquor, cherry fumes of your hair.
We chose those bottles for their foreign names,
wild tastes, the fantasies on the front labels.
The silver-glint horn of a unicorn gazed down
from my bookshelf, fairies danced on my desktop,
bumbleebee on my bedstand, black widow
on my windowsill.
On the ground that morning, your clothes
strewn like casualties.
But even on the nights we didn't drink a drop,
the morning found two wounded soldiers perspiring,
cold beads of frosty sweat sliding down
their glassy necks.
You told me you found nobility in retreating,
but I wish you would have held your ground.
I was ready to surrender at the next skysplitting
of your heart beating war-drum sounds.
I cling to every one of this sheet's frayed threads
as if they were grenade pins.
When the mornings are gone, what will be left?
The absence of your warm imprint in my bed,
the seething absinthe of your whispers in my head,
the yesterday kiss of a wounded soldier heavier
than full, hollower than last-drop drained
Do we have to give up the fight just now?
Do we have to fight at all?
Can't we just lie here? Can't we just lie
a little longer?

Noting several recent court decisions asserting the new federal health care laws are unconstitutional (this may end up in the Supreme Court) and with Congress putting the law in their gun sights (a view not shared by the Senate, however) former Gov. George Pataki is stepping down from the helm of Revere America, the 501 (c) (4) that has been assailing President Obama's health care bill.
Here is the announcement:
Revere America, a grassroots organization dedicated to finding free-market solutions to national problems, today announced that former Governor George E. Pataki of New York is stepping down from his position as honorary chairman.
Governor Pataki said, "It has been an honor to lead Revere America through this critical formative period and more importantly to advance the effort to repeal and replace the health care law. A federal judge has now rightfully declared that law unconstitutional, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to repeal and replace it, and Revere America played an active role in the historic 2010 campaign that made that vote possible. This is an excellent time for me to step down, based on my other commitments and the fact that Revere America has been successfully launched. I will continue to play an active role in our national discussion and will work to advance policies that promote and preserve American freedoms."
"We are grateful to Governor Pataki for his service to Revere America. We could not have become as successful a grassroots organization as we have in such a short time without his strong leadership and guidance," said Marianne R.P. Zuk, president and CEO of Revere America. "Thanks to Governor Pataki's dedication and energy, Revere America has been able to successfully launch its campaign to advance common sense free-market policies in this country."
From New Hampshire to Florida, from California to Nevada, Revere America campaigned in over twenty states across the country for common sense policies that advance free markets, patient choice in health care and long-term prosperity. Revere America spent millions in direct advocacy last year, running ads in targeted districts, sending out 300,000 letters to voters, and placing over 1 million automated phone calls helping to elect dozens of new Representatives and Senators who support the repeal and replace movement.
Governor Pataki said he was encouraged by the overwhelming vote in the U.S. House of Representatives in January to repeal and replace the federal health care law and believes that Revere America is well positioned to continue its efforts in the wake of this milestone. "I am extremely proud to have led Revere America when it collected 1.1 million signatures to repeal and replace the faulty health reform law," Gov. Pataki said. "We campaigned across the nation for individual freedom and free-market policies and the American people support our mission. I know this is just the beginning of the many victories that Revere America will achieve."

The European Elections – Eurosceptic Europe?
The European parliamentary elections will take place from 22 to 25 May 2014. Due to the current economic crisis in the European Union (EU) and increasing scepticism towards Europe, the parliamentary elections and newly appointed European Commission will be highly significant in the future direction of the EU.
In a series of Snapshots, FTI Consulting is looking into different aspects of the elections and institutional changes to shed light on how this will influence our work. This second snapshot takes a closer look at euroscepticism.
Old as the EU
Euroscepticism is by no means a new development. It has previously been brought to light by the rejection of the proposed European Constitution in 2005 via referenda in France and the Netherlands, and additionally by the political bullying needed to convince Ireland and the Czech Republic to ratify the subsequent renegotiated treaty.
Both the fundamental structure of the EU and the approach taken by Member States in their dealings with the Union seem to have strengthened the feeling of distance, which many Europeans voice when discussing Brussels and its pan-European institutions. Brussels is often accused of failing to take into consideration the perspective of the EU's citizens on key economic and social decisions, such as the introduction of the Euro. Moreover, national politicians have proven all too keen to shift the blame of policy failures on Brussels, whilst happily claiming responsibility for European successes; a dual discourse which heavily contributes to deepening negative sentiment towards the EU.
