One of our beloved former interns, Lyndsey Lesh, recently designed the shirt "Music Mountain" during her stay here at Beautiful/Decay. We were blown away by Lyndsey's drive & talent and one of her final projects before venturing out into the great, wide, world was to design June's T-Shirt of the month! (In case you haven't heard, we are releasing a limited edition, 300 print run T-Shirt in a unique color way each month on the online shop for 33% off retail price- $20 a shirt!)
Lyndsey's illustration style can best be described as whimsical works that depict a world of idiosyncratic fancy, sweetness and charm. Her images have a soft spoken quality that reflect the hand-rendered application of her materials. Her shirt, "Music Mountain" depicts a sincere DJ atop a landscape of stereo equipment, musical gear and chubby hands holding records, drum sticks and microphones.
More of Lyndsey's work after the jump!

Do You Need Monster Insurance?
I probably found this article in Yahoo! interesting partly because I'm reading the "Twilight" series. Monsters have become part of my day. But I never thought of getting insurance! Did you know that you can buy insurance to protect you in case the Loch Ness Monster decides to take a piece out of you? You can!
The legendary Loch Ness monster turns 80 this week and, although there's never been any concrete proof that Nessie exists, some people aren't taking any chances! Scottish Cruise Line, Jacobite Cruises is protecting themselves and their passengers with a one point five million dollar insurance policy against any damage done by the Loch Ness Monster. It may seem silly, but they're getting lots of free publicity for it!
And they're not alone in this. In 2006, more than 100 triathletes required to swim in Loch Ness were insured for more than a million dollars each in the instance of a Nessie bite.
Goodfellow Rebbecca Ingram Pierson will insure you in the case of alien abduction. Of course, proving the claim might be tricky!
England's Royal Falcon Hotel took out a policy against any damage done to the hotel or its patrons by the facility's resident poltergeist.
Lloyd's of London will insure you against vampire bites if you travel to Transylvania!
And in Japan, you can take out insurance to protect yourself from the Giant Crab.
So....remember, if you're expecting to run across any monsters, it's possible to take out insurance! Of course, if you really DO come across a monster, it will probably be your family collecting the money!

Founder: A man can have simultaneous, spiritual sex with wives in separate locations. Sex is the main reason people get married. The climax is like heaven on earth- Hatijah
PETALING JAYA: The Obedient Wives Club (OWC) stirred up fresh controversy when its founder claimed that spiritually, a man can have sex with all his wives simultaneously.
Club founder Hatijah Aam, who is also the author of the controversial book Seks Islam Perangi Yahudi Untuk Kembalikan Seks Islam Kepada Dunia (Sex in Islam Wage War Against Jews To Return Islamic Sex To The World), said that when a man reached the highest spiritual level, "he can appear in multiple apparitions and have sex with his wives even though they are in separate locations".
"We never said that a man can have an orgy with all his wives on the same bed.
"That is not allowed.
"What we meant is when a man has reached the highest spiritual level, he will be granted the ability to have sex with his wives spiritually," she said.
"This is how men who were at war in the past satisfied their needs," she said at a press conference here yesterday from Mecca, Saudi Arabia, via Skype.
The club is going ahead with the global launch of the controversial sex guide despite protests from women's groups.
Hatijah said the book would soon be launched globally in countries where OWCs have already been set up, including Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Britain and France.
However, the club does not intend to launch the book in Malaysia.
"The book was meant to be circulated among our members only.
"We knew that the public's reaction to the book would be negative because they do not understand the concept," said Hatijah, who is also the wife of late Al-Arqam founder Ashaari Muhammad.
Women's groups like Sisters in Islam, All Women's Action Society and the Women's Aid Organisation described the book as a cheap publicity stunt designed to raise the profile of the club.
Hatijah defended the importance of the detailed sex guide on grounds that sex is God's gift to married couples and they should be educated on the ways to approach it.
"Sex is the main reason people get married. And in a way, the climax is like heaven on earth," said Hatijah.
She also explained that like praying, sex between married couples was also a pious act.
"So, why can't we teach people how to do that in a pure way?" she asked.

Taking sex to the PhD-level?
One Man's Meat
By PHILIP GOLINGAI
The Obedient Wives Club wanted to keep it under the covers but since it leaked out, interest for its sex-guide book has yet to reach a climax.
FRIDAY'S press conference by the Obedient Wives Club (OWC) reminded me of Salt-n-Pepa's 1991 hit song Let's Talk About Sex.
The hip-hop song goes: "Let's talk about sex. Yo, I don't think we should talk about this. C'mon, why not? People might misunderstand what we're tryin' to say, you know? No, but that's a part of life."
That about sums up the exasperation of the club embroiled in a controversy after it published a pocket-sized 115-page Malay-language book titled Seks Islam, Perangi Yahudi Untuk Kembalikan Seks Islam Kepada Dunia (Islamic Sex, Fighting Jews to Return Islamic Sex to the World).
To clarify media reports that the book encouraged a man to have an orgy with all of his wives, five OWC officials (including two men) met the press.
At the start of the 90-minute press conference in Petaling Jaya, OWC national chairman in Malaysia Fauziah Ariffin read a statement from Hatijah Aam, the club founder.
Hatijah, one of the wives of the late Al-Arqam founder Ashaari Muhammad, said the sex guide was only for OWC members who were married.
"We are disappointed with those who distributed the book without our knowledge until it created a misunderstanding," she said.
Fauziah then tackled the controversial issue of "seks serentak (simultaneous sex)".
"Simultaneous does not mean that on the bed there is one man and four women," she said with a sarcastic laugh.
"When a man has reached a high level of spirituality, his wali (spiritual guardian) can come in contact with his wives wherever they are.
"Maybe one wife is in Ipoh, another in Kuala Lumpur, in Singapore or in Johor but he can 'come' to his wife simultaneously. That is the wonder of spiritual sex."
Wow! I thought. Note to myself: evolve from missionary position. But was "spiritual sex" possible, I wondered.
As if reading my thoughts, Dr Azlina Jamaluddin, a dentist and OWC leader, said it was not something a common person could comprehend.
"To you there might be no logic to what we are saying," Dr Azlina explained. "But when Prophet Noah built an ark on a mountain at that time there was no logic in what he was doing."
Mohd Rasidi, a male member of the panel, claimed what was taught in the book was "high level" sex. "It is PhD-level," he said.
"To understand the book," said Fauziah, "the author of the book herself wants to talk to the media via Skype from Mecca."
And Hatijah's voice filled the conference room.
In an exasperated tone, the 57-year-old Malaysian woman based in Saudi Arabia said the club purposely did not sell the book to non-members because the public would not be able to comprehend it.
In other words, you and I are practising "kindergarten-level sex" as compared with "PhD-level sex".
And, quoting the Quran, Hatijah went deep into the theory of "spiritual sex".
Here are some of Hatijah's insights on sex.
> If your spirit is pure you can have sex with your wife even though you are abroad fighting a war.
> God allows sex sports. And to be good in sex you need practice.
> Orgasm releases a pain killer and helps with fever. But don't have affairs on the pretext of curing your fever.
> Orgasm prevents wrinkles.
> Sex can make you younger. Jogging can be replaced by "sexcercise".
> Only animals have sex without mukadimah (foreplay).
> It is important for a woman's breasts to be sucked in order to prevent breast cancer (quoting a BBC news report).
During the Q&A session, I asked: "I'm curious, has the panel experienced simultaneous sex? Have you reached the PhD-level of sex?"
And – I'm not sure whether I imagined this – the panel members lowered their heads as if they felt sexually inadequate.
After a hush-hush discussion among themselves, Mohd Rasidi said: "So far, it is a knowledge that we are still trying to understand.
"We have not experienced it as our roh (spirit) has not reached PhD-level," he explained.
"How about Hatijah?" I asked.
And Azlina, the dentist, said: "We have not experienced it yet. We are still trying. The person who has experienced it is Hatijah Aam. Hopefully one day, God willing, we can reach that level."
Hatijah also revealed that she was writing a second sex guide book.
"The first book revealed 20% (sex knowledge). But the second book will reveal 100%. But we will make sure the public will not get their hands on this book about heaven on earth," she added.
Anti-climax in 'Seks Islam' book
One Man's Meat By PHILIP GOLINGAI
The Obedient Wives Club (OWC) controversial pocket-sized Malay-language sex guide sold exclusively to its members is more of a mother's labour of love for her son who was getting married.
IF I got RM50 for every time someone asked me a copy of Seks Islam, I would be as rich as Alex Comfort, the author of The Joy of Sex.
On Oct 21, in Petaling Jaya, at a press conference organised by Obedient Wives Club (OWC), the author of Seks Islam, Perangi Yahudi Untuk Kembalikan Seks Islam Kepada Dunia (Islamic Sex, Fighting Jews to Return Islamic Sex to the World), Hatijah Aam (pic) gifted the book to journalists.
Speaking via Skype from Mecca in Saudi Arabia, Hatijah, the OWC founder, told the club members: "Please present the book now to the media representatives."
"We don't want to hide it. We want to be transparent.
"We want to show that we are not hiding our (sex) knowledge," she said.
And the dozen or so journalists became proud owners of the controversial pocket-sized Malay-language sex guide sold exclusively to OWC members for RM50.
Instantly, When I – @philipgolingai – "live" tweeted that I had a copy, I received several requests for a copy.
In my office, almost everybody I met was excited over my owning THE book except for this one guy who got aroused for the wrong reason. He thought I had a copy of the Auditor-General's Report.
It seems everyone I knew lusted for the knowledge on how to graduate from kindergarten-level sex to PhD-level sex.
Who wouldn't want to read a book advocating "spiritual sex" (a man could "come" spiritually to all his wives simultaneously even though they're in Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Johor)?
And, by the day, the book is getting more notorious. Last week, the Sarawak government banned the distribution of Seks Islam in the state.
As my friends flipped through the book, their initial remarks were: "No picture ah?" or "No graphics ah? All words?".
Sorry to disappoint, but the book isn't the Comfort's titillatingly illustrated Joy of Sex.
In fact, the 115-page booklet was a mother's labour of love for her son who was getting married.
The preamble to Seks Islam – from its research – OWC found that what a woman sexually provided her husband was 10% of what his real sexual needs were.
"The wife thinks her 10% is 100%. She's also dumb not to want to be taught about sex. She has a prejudiced perception that sex is obscene," wrote Hatijah.
Chapter one explains why OWC was formed, chapter two talks about Hatijah's husband, the late Al-Arqam founder Ashaari Muhammad, chapter three about giving 100% loyalty to your husband, chapter four is a guide for the future groom and chapter five is a letter to the bride.
Yawn. Yawn. Nothing that really makes me blush.
Hatijah also explained the difference between a man and a woman.
A man is held hostage by his desire. In order words, just like peeing, when a man has to go, he has to go.
A woman, however, can turn off and turn on her sexual desire as if it were a switch.
"If a wife loves her husband, she must instantly fulfil his sexual needs," she advocated.
The climax of the book is in its conclusion.
Hatijah writes about her two-month training with Ashaari to become a heroic and angelic wife.
And she revealed her late husband could perform sex simultaneously with his wives, spiritually.
"Intimacy is much more pleasurable and 'lighter' through spiritual sex compared with physical sex," she wrote.
Hatijah writes about seks seren-tak (simultaneous sex) but she does not reveal how to do it spiritually.
Perhaps, as she said in the press conference, what was taught in Seks Islam was just the tip of the iceberg (20%) of her sex knowledge.
So what has the book – as its title suggests – got to do with Jews?
From what I gather Jews have been propagating "extremely pornographic" illicit sex.
Am I missing something in life?
I'm not sure what I was expecting from the book. Techniques on how to please a Uranus chick with eight breasts?
For all its hype, reading the hyped book was an anti-climax.

Twitter : Why unfollow who dont follow you?

Great article! I agree that following those who do not follow you does not make much sense, especially given the "2,000 follower limit" rule for the beginner Twitters. I linked to you at http://www.technicalcommunicationcenter.com/2009/02/09/twitter-power-tips/

I don't follow everyone that follows me on my personal id. I follow those that interest me because of what they are saying. I follow two 'stars' because they are geeks as well. On my other id which is not business but info/help I follow everyone that follows me with a few exceptions, no point in following obvious spam ids. I set off on there following same subject ids to get started and used my personal id to help it along. Personally I want to keep up with everyone I follow as much as I can. So far I've only removed one person for 'noise'. The rest were suspect or deleteted accounts that I learnt to spot. Even if i go interact with someone else I don't always (mostly not) follow them I aim to keep it that way. I presume I get more followers because I help others in my subject matter. The info type id is a tool to give helpful links in my subject matter. Best advice - just be yourself.

This is nonsense.
There are many reasons for following someone. Some can be conversation (in which case there's not much point in following if they don't follow you - you can't hold a conversation 1-way).
But a lot of the value of twitter is in the insights shared by people tweeting. If someone is tweeting high value content - interesting, funny or valuable stuff - why on earth would you unfollow them just because they're not following you?
I get great value from Guy Kawasaki and Darren Rowse's tweets - and some of the internet marketers on here. Why on earth should they follow me before I listen to them?
If someone came on and tweeted something absolutely wonderful, something that changed your life or made you a million dollars - would you ignore it because they weren't following you?
Of course not.

I have to say that, while I respect what you're saying, I completely disagree. Twitter's not about building numbers for the sake of building numbers. If someone follows me and I've looked through a page or two or their tweets and don't feel like I'm all that interested in what they're saying, then I won't follow back. Call me rude, but that takes away from the value of my TweetDeck when people I'm not interested in are taking up space and pushing the tweets down of people I am interested in.
Now by no means will I ever completely rule out people who follow me. Every so often I will take a look at my followers and if I see I'm not following someone who's following me, I'll check out their page again and see if it's worth the follow. They may have changed since last I checked and started talking about something in which I'm interested, so then I'll follow. I'm not able to spend as much time as I like on Twitter, so I have to limit who I follow so when I do check for updates they will be of value to me personally and/or professionally.
I don't mean to come off as high-ended. Many of the people I follow don't follow me back and I am completely OK with that. I don't feel insulted. If their content is valuable to me and I am able to learn from their tweets or connect with other people, I will continue to follow them without feeling "slighted" b/c they didn't follow me back. Maybe my tweets aren't that interesting to them. I'm over it.
PS: I still enjoyed the article, though, and the other comments. You have some great content, so look for a follow from @JHirz soon. :)

1) I agree with Ian. Twitter gives me access to folks I would not normally have THIS KIND of access to. They are interesting and I am learning.
2) Why do people keep making up RULES for Twitter? Twitter is in its infancy. We are making this up as we go along. I think it's fine to say what has worked for you, but why extend that to someone else, especially something that is new? You yourself have just announced that you intend to use differently. Most likely everyone on Twitter is finding his or her way to use and we are all different so most likely we will all come up with different reasons/uses/ etc. Twitter is the microcosm of our bigger Macrocosm. Change is at the bottom of all of that. The Forbes article had it right in detailing how different people were using Twitter differently.
3) Find what works for YOU.
4) I follow TONS of people who "don't follow me."
Twitter is microblogging. Do I expect every blogger to read my blog simply because I read theirs?
5) Many people follow me on Twitter whom I do not follow. I don't see them unfollowing...
6) I personally see Twitter as a vehicle for social change. E.g, Twestival/TED Conference

I personally believe that some Twitter users are confusing "following" with something akin to "friending" on Facebook.
It's still absolutely possible to have meaningful exchanges with people you aren't following (and vice versa) with the '@reply' syntax, which is a fundamental part of the Twitter experience.
And while I myself have no interest in following Britney Spears/Stephen Fry/whomever, I do follow a lot of people and read their Tweets with great interest, despite them not reciprocating.

Many possible interpretations of the following / follower ratio:
interested / interesting
student / teacher
boring / blowhard
curious / fascinating
Everyone likely to have their own ratio spin and mix. No point over-analyzing; learn / share.

Very well thought out post, but I cringe when people start giving "advice" on how to use Twitter. It's not about a right or wrong - it's about what works best for you. Some people don't mind following a bunch of people who don't follow them back because they have @ conversations with them - because they learn something or because they're interested in what they say. They use Twitter almost like a blog reader in that sense.

A very well reasoned blog post, thank-you. I would suggest that it does suffer from unnecessarily limiting assumptions about the goals of using twitter. I could list ten reasons to follow someone who wouldn't follow me. Maybe someone who posts links to valuable blog posts. Maybe someone who says things that make me laugh (like author Joe Hill). The best and highest use of twitter does not have to be two way communication, although that certainly is an important one.
It's a new way of doing things, and most self-imposed limitations are going to wind up being just that - limitations

Great and thoughtful post. It again points out that there are many different reasons for using Twitter and that you need to figure out which way works for you. I use it to hopefully make new connections but others use it primarily as an advertising and promotion network. As long as we can "unfollow" the system supports multiple uses. I just hope it stays simple to use. (For more on this topic see http://www.ddmcd.com/building.html ).

I loved ur article, i was asking myself about it a few days ago, follow or no? great blog! i'm going to follow u for sure at twitter!
- February 22, 2009 at 10:14 AM
I completely agree with you on this.
There seems to be some weird idea that following people & then unfollowing those who don't follow you back is spam - how??
Spam is about autotweeting spammy crap, or manually tweeting rubbish - and if anyone who I follows fills up my twitter page with this kind of garbage I'll unfollow them & block them - but why is folowing lots of people & unfollowing those who don't follow back, spam? It's just not.
As far as I'm concerned - for me Twitter is about conversation. Other people are free to see twitter as being about whetever they feel it's about for them, for finding out information, for broadcasting but not reading - that's fine, but you can't expect everyone else to have the same outlook on twitter, or anything for that matter.
So for me, and for a lot of people, twitter is about conversation, and a conversation is 2 way - personally I am not interested in being broadcasted to, if I wanted that I'd just join someones email list - so I am only interested in listening to people who're also interested in listening to me, 2 way - if I follow someone & they make it clear they only want to talk & they don't want to listen, then I'll unfollow them, I'm not interested in that.
I'm not saying that anyone who does continue following people who don't follow back are wrong - that's your choice - but people who do this shouldn't assume that everyone else has to do the same.
For those people who only want a few friends, then fine - what is the problem if people follow you & then unfollow when you don't follow them back? If you're not bothered about what they have to say, then surely you're not bothered about them unfollowing you?
@Ian Brodie, I disagree.
What you're saying is that you don't mind being broacast to - you don't mind someone saying "hey, you should listen to me, because I am worth listening to - but I have no interest in what you may have to say"
If this works for you, them fine - no one is saying that you cannot follow those who don't follow you back, but I think most people would agree that with a limit on the number of people that you can follow, we don't really want to waste this on people who see twitter as a platform for one way broadcasting.
Again - you're free to allow people to broadcast to you - but that doesn't mean everyone else has to be happy with that.
@WidgetWoman - yeah there may be the odd person that it is worth following who broadcast only & dont follow back, but if their stuff is that interesting & important, surely you'll be on their email list anyway?
But once again - however you use twitter is fine, but surely you agree that if I want to only follow people who follow back, that's fine too?
@Afreebird - no, twitter isnt about building numbers for the sake of it, of course not - but twitter is about whatever you make it about.
Although I agree it's not about building numbers for the sake of it - personally I see that twitter IS about building numbers, as long as you're not spamming, and you're using twitter in a healthy manner, contributing & taking part - then the more the merrier. Personally I want to follow & be followed by as many people as possible - for me twitter IS about the numbers, as long as it's also about the quality of the tweets I'm making, and seeing.
but again - you're free to see twitter as whatever it is to you.
@Julie Adore - EXACTLY! thank you. this is what I'm getting at, people keep saying "twitter is about this" "twitter is not about this" says who? Like anything, what it is, is what the user makes it, and as long as it's not being used for spammy automated tweeting - (which I think most people will agree holds no value for anyone) then there's no problem.
Thanks :0)

I follow people who I think/know they are interesting. Most of them can't follow me, because I usually write in Dutch; they write in English. When I think it's important/interesting I do write in English. But would an American musician want to know there are no bathrooms for the disabled in Dutch supermarkets, while I'm astonished at the fact there aren't any??? However; when I make progress in one of my hobbies/bussines I do write in English. What?! I even show pictures!

Twitter is a SOCIAL media site - and I fail to see the sense in following those who don't follow back. I think a key is keeping balance between following and followers numbers. I have a personal rule that I don't follow more than 100 users than the number following me. I prune the list of people I follow once a week or so and generally drop those I follow who don't end up following me; exceptions tend to be feeds I find useful or people I know from other social media sites.
I concentrate my social media involvement in three arenas: Twitter, my blog, and Facebook. The latter I tend to be fairly conservative on in terms of friending others since I consider it a venue for more private items - and use Twitter and my blog for things I don't mind airing in public.
I think a key to having an effective, enjoyable social media existence is to develop personal rules of engagement for online activity - and stick to them. I think articulating these rules of engagement encourages transparency and lets others know how one approaches their online existence. The link off my Twitter profile goes to a special page on my personal web site that gives Twitter users a chance to get to know me and lays out how I approach participating on Twitter:

I follow people who say things or who post links that are of interest to me. Hopefully, people follow me for the same reason. If we both happen to be following each other -- that's great and conversation may ensue. However, I am not going to stop following someone interesting just because my ego is hurt by his not following me. I am also not going to continue following someone boring or offensive just because he is following me.

I disagree!
1.No meaningful conversation
do you indulge in conversations? I don't follow back spammers like you do.. you are such a looser!
2. Why favor someone while you are not reciprocated?
tell this to @mashable ans he will laugh.. tell this to @aplusk and he will say f**k you.. if you are confident that you have a good social media presence you will get followers automatically.. but those who follow you are bots / spam and this makes you a looser! the biggest looser from india who follows almost a population of a western country! what a shame
Less the people more the care
do you follow less ppl ? that means you dont care.. haha what a jerk your name bups sounds like boobs
You arent makeing Twitter monotonous; you are building relations ??
i see you are making nice relationship wioth spammers and bots and not indulging in conversations you are such a looser on twitter and how dare you blog about twitter tips... fuck you dude...

Hi! As a new Twitter user, I'd like to point out that many of the people following me were uninvited and are either trying to sell me something or lure me to a porn site. I will not follow them, and I would be just as happy if they didn't follow me (I automatically block all porn followers and most sales followers). I don't desire the appearance of affirmation via large numbers of followers. I'm secure in who I am. I would rather have a few quality followers than lots of leeches. Just my opinion.

I choose who I want to interact with.
Lets get hypothetical. Bill follows Susan on twitter because Susan is an interesting and engaging microblogger. However, Bill says nothing that interests Susan in his tweets. Should she feel obliged to reciprocally follow him? No - she should not.
What you are suffering from here is the "delusion of equality": an Internet phenomenon that encourages everyone to think that what they have to say has the same value as everyone else. That's just not true, though. Some people are worth following, others are not.
- August 30, 2009 at 7:17 AM
- Trudy said...
I somewhat agree with Karl's comment. I am not going to say you yourself suffer from a "delusion of equality" but the article emphasizes that somewhat.
I will follow friends who don't tweet often...my loyalty to them goes beyond the land of Twitter.
I will NOT automatically follow anyone who follows me. I am a younger female and I have males who follow me where every single one of their tweets are hyper-sexualized, primitive and/or rude. I do not want to see that in my Tweet Deck and I have no obligation to follow them.
All men are created equal but not all tweets are created equal. I do like the "pointless babble" tweets that a recent study featured on Mashable outlined...I want to know some of the minutia in the lives of the people I follow as those small details can lead to greater conversation, but again, those are the people I choose to follow. I understand where you are coming from with this post, I just don't agree with you. Great post though.

- Joel Hughes said...
interesting article but I do have to disagree.
I have "meaningful" conversations with people who don't follow me on Twitter. How? By using the reply/mention system - if your conversation is interesting enough (and the person is on the ball with their account) you'll get a response - if that person is interested enough then they may even follow you. It depends.
I'm certainly not insulted if I follow someone and they don't follow back - I think you're being too literal with Twitter if you think that is necessary.
Great post though and look forward to more!

- nicktang said...
I disagree, the point of twitter is so that people can publish what is going on with them so others can see. I might follow someone because I have an interest in them but they do not require and interest in me. Clearly there are those who something to offer by following them (information etc) and those that dont.

(Woodland, CA) – May 30, 2014 - Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig announced that today the Board of Parole Hearings found 38-year-old West Sacramento man, Daniel Robinson, unsuitable for parole. The hearing took place at Salinas Valley State Prison in Monterey County. This was Robinson's first parole hearing after spending the past 18 years in state prison.
In 1996 a Yolo County jury found Robinson guilty of second degree murder for killing 16-year-old Robert Castro in a gang related drive by shooting. At the time of the shooting, Castro was riding his bike in West Sacramento. Robinson and his friends were associated with the 29th Street Crips. Because they felt disrespected by the Broderick Boys, a West Sacramento gang, they decided to get revenge by shooting Castro. After the trial, Robinson was sentenced to 18 years to life in state prison.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Raven with victim services advocate Silvia Aceves attended the hearing on behalf of the District Attorney's Office. Robert Castro's mother, father, grandfather, sister and brother also attended the hearing. In finding Robinson unsuitable for parole, Commissioner Perry Turner stated that Robert Castro was "vulnerable while riding his bike and the offense was carried out in a dispassionate manner." Commissioner Turner stated that Robinson also continued to have problems with alcohol and violence based on his behavior while in prison. Robinson will not be eligible for parole until 2019.

by Don L. Jackson AE5K
- Abstract:
This paper describes the forming of a special interest digital
communication group, the need for worldwide
intercommunication on a timely basis, and the evolution of a mix of
communication channels utilizing the
Internet. This ability to communicate rapidly has been one of the
reasons for the explosive growth of the
HPSDR group, the rapid design of several projects, and the synergy found
with the association of many
interested hams, well known experts, TAPR and AMSAT.

by Lyle Johnson KK7P
- Abstract:
An open project to advance the state of Software Defined Radio within
Amateur radio is described.
- The Sound Card Programming? ...But it is Easy!
by Patrick Lindecker F6CTE
- Abstract:
In this paper, I present a DLL ( a program able to be loaded and used by
other programs) allowing to
consider the sound card as a "black box". This could interest the ones
for which the Windows API
programming is a problem and who would wish to use the sound card for
experimentation, as, for
example, decoding AF receivers.
The only need is that the DLL and the program be in the same directory.

- WiMax/802.16 Overview
by Dr. Ronnie P. Milione W2TAP
- Abstract:
This abstract is an overview of the upcoming IEEE 802.16 specifications
submitted to the
ARRL Digital Communications Conference for 2006.The IEEE 802.16 family
of standards,
and its associated industry consortium WiMax, promises to deliver high
data rates over
large areas to a large number of users in the near future. This exciting
addition to current
broadband options such as DSL, cable, and Wi-Fi promises to rapidly
provide broadband
access to locations in the world.s rural and developing areas where
broadband is currently
unavailable, as well as competing for urban market share. WiMax.s
competitiveness in the
marketplace largely depends on the actual data rates and ranges that are
achieved, but
this has been difficult to judge due to the large number of possible
options and competing
marketing claims. This paper first provides a tutorial overview of
802.16. Then, based on
extensive recent studies, this paper presents the realistic attainable
throughput and
performance of expected WiMax compatible systems based on the 802.16d
approved in June 2004 (now named 802.16-2004). I also suggested future
to the standard that could at least quadruple the achievable data rate,
while also
increasing the robustness and coverage, with only moderate complexity

- ANDE AX.25 Satellite Network
by Bob Bruninga, WB4APR - US Naval Academy Satellite Lab
- Abstract:
ANDE is a follow-on digital communications payload to the highly
successful PCSAT-1 [1] that was
launched on 30 Sept 2001 and PCSAT2 that was launched on 26 July 2005
and recovered from the
international Space Station on 2 July 2006. These satellites all use
off-the-shelf standard AX.25 Packet
TNC.s for command, control and telemetry which greatly simplifies
student payload design. ANDE,
along with its companions of RAFT and MARScom are currently at Kennedy
Space Center for integration
with mission STS-116 currently planned for launch about mid December
These student built Amateur Satellite missions have taken advantages of
synergisms in the Amateur
Satelite Service, Student Education and experience, and science sponsors
while operating within the rules
of the Amateur Satellite Service[2]. MARScom is an experimental
communications satellite for the Navy
and Marine Corps Military Affiliate Radio System which is also operated
by radio amateurs volunteers in
that organization. All depend on the global network of Amateur Satellite
Ground stations for recovering
their downlink data and making it available to students worldwide.

If you follow anything Apple, you've heard about the controversy surrounding the working conditions at Foxconn, the supplier of such products as the iPhone and the iPad. This controversy has been swirling around the news outlets for a while now and things have really heated up over the past few weeks.
I'm here to ask one important question: how much do people really care? Forget about what the press wants you to think and ask yourself that question. Deep down, how much does it really matter? (more…)

MIDDLEBURY — A three-way race for two selectboard spots will spice up an otherwise tame local election ballot in Middlebury on March 1.
Eric Murray, 49, of East Middlebury will oppose incumbent Selectmen Dean George and Craig Bingham in the race for two three-year terms on the board. Monday, Jan. 24, was the deadline for candidates for municipal and school offices to file their nomination papers to get on the March 1 Town Meeting Day ballot.
VERGENNES — Few races for elective office in March are shaping up in the five-town Vergennes area, but the Little City will have one new alderman, while a persistent Addison critic of Addison Northwest Supervisory Union unification is seeking two seats on school boards, including on the one panel that would govern ANwSU if that measure is approved.
The new member of the Vergennes City Council will replace two-term incumbent Christine Collette, who opted to step down for what she called four good reasons — that's the number of grandchildren she has.
BRISTOL — "We'd rather talk than walk," read the signs that a group of more than 100 teachers in the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union held up along Main Street in downtown Bristol on Monday and Tuesday afternoons.
Despite sub-zero temperatures on Monday, members of the Addison Northeast Education Association (ANEA) picketed as planned in hopes that their demonstration might bring the ANeSU school boards back to bargaining table.
ADDISON COUNTY — Residents of the five-towns area of northeast Addison County could see a few new faces in town government this spring given a number of races that will appear on the Town Meeting Day ballot.
According to the town clerks in Bristol, New Haven, Lincoln, Monkton and Starksboro, a few spots will be changing hands, and even fewer of those races will be contested.

MIDDLEBURY — Residents in six of the Addison Central Supervisory Union's (ACSU) seven member towns will vote this March on proposed 2011-2012 elementary school budgets that proposed lower spending than this year's.
MIDDLEBURY — Though Middlebury College's month-long J-Term has a reputation for being a rather laid-back time of year, the students heading up the college's Solar Decathlon team have been even busier than usual this January.
Just last week, several students made the trip down to Orlando, Fla., for a Solar Decathlon conference and to attend the International Builders' Show. And on Tuesday, the team gathered to host a fund-raising event at the Middlebury night spot 51 Main.
MIDDLEBURY — Last Friday seven tiny kindergarten students from Nikki Juvan's class at St. Mary's School filed into the Middlebury College Museum of Art. As part of the college's MiddArts program, this visit was a carefully planned exercise in Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS), a curriculum for teaching art to primary and secondary school students.

I saw these fun looking corn shakers a while back on Little Wonders' Days - and today I thought they would be perfect for the 'Play with Junk' challenge. Not too long ago we had done some very open- ended play with our junk so this time I wanted it do be a little more guided.
We pulled out some paper tubes (we used 1 toilet paper and 1 paper towel tube cut in half) and our colored bingo markers we found at the dollar store. The dollar store didn't have yellow - no worries, Indian corn doesn't just come in yellow and orange - it comes in a rainbow of colors really.
and enjoyed putting colorful spots all over their paper tubes. I made one, too, just for fun.
Yes, those are bandages being used to seal up those ends after we put about a tablespoon of popcorn kernels inside . I know it's not very conventional, but they were sticky enough and also the right colors (also from the dollar store). They held up through all the shaking that went on the rest of the afternoon - until big sister came home and decided to chuck them across the room.
Still, they only tore a little (luckily not much popcorn escaped) and I covered them up better with some clear packing tape. I had also attached a little raffia to the top to give it the appearance of corn - Maisy liked the idea and Mina wouldn't allow hers to have it.

Should the Minnesota Vikings Re-Sign Kevin Williams?
Kevin Williams is talking with the Minnesota Vikings again. Williams was recently on Sirius XM NFL Radio, and discussed a recent visit with the New England Patriots and conversations that he and his agent Tom Condon have had with Minnesota.
Williams is 33 years old, and has played for the Vikings from 2003 to 2013. Last year, he played in 15 games recording 29 combined tackles, 3.5 sacks, an interception, and a fumble recovery.
Aside from Williams,. Minnesota added some depth by signing Linval Joseph in the offseason. Joseph gives the Vikings some youth, along with Brian Robison, Everson Griffen, Shariff Floyd, and Corey Wootton on the defensive line.
At the same time, Williams would give the Vikings defense some experience, but with a new head coach (Mike Zimmer), Minnesota may want to move on.
Williams could go to a new team with a better shot at a title. The former Vikings defensive tackle mentioned on Sirius XM NFL Radio one of the criteria he is looking for in a team is an opportunity to play on a contender.
"My main criteria has really been having a chance to win and playing with a proven quarterback..."
What do you think? Should Minnesota re-sign Williams?

Below is an email I received about a bill passing through Congress that would allow tuition waivers to be assessed as taxable income (read about it below). I know I couldn't afford the extra tax, going to a private school with a relatively high tuition. Even my friends in public schools would have a hard time making up the difference, because even though their tuitions are lower, so are their stipends. If you are a graduate student, or are helping to support one, please write your state's Senators and urge them to remove this provision or kill the bill in the Senate (I think it says it already passed the House). If you aren't a student anymore, but know some grad students, please pass this information on to them. Sorry about the spamming (if you're reading this on a newsgroup), but I felt it necessary to get this information out to as many people as possible as soon as possible. Thanks for reading, ******************************************************************************* NOTE: DO NOT REPLY TO ABOVE ADDRESS - IT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO DEFEAT BULK EMAILERS!!

The House Ways and Means Committee has voted in favor of a tax bill that includes among its provisions a tax increase on graduate teachers and researchers of up to 1000% (one thousand percent). In a vote strictly on party lines, the Committee approved the tax proposal originally offered by Chairman Bill Archer (R-TX). Quick surveys done by NAGPS have concluded that the tax proposal would dramatically increases tax burdens on graduate students making less than $15,000 per year. Among the various changes to the tax code, the Chairman's proposal would eliminate Section 117d of the Internal Revenue code. Section 117d currently protects from taxation the tuition waivers often granted by universities to graduate teaching and researchers in return for teaching up to 40% of the courses on some of the nation's largest university campuses. Because the value of tuition waivers often exceeds stipends also paid to TAs and RAs, counting those waivers as income has the potential to increase taxes by thousands of dollars per student per year. Seven student scenarios (listed below) illustrate how some students will pay 1000% (one thousand percent) more in taxes, or up to more than $500 per month. In response, NAGPS (the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students) is calling upon students, faculty and administrators throughout the United States to contact members of Congress to protest this new tax. Graduate students throughout the US have expressed shock and surprise at the proposal, with email listserves, web sites and word-of-mouth quickly alerting students. "It is sad that a bill being offered to make taxes `more fair' has instituted a brand new tax on students many of whom earn less than $15,000 per year," said NAGPS Executive Director Kevin Boyer. "It is also a shame that, instead of taking a pro-graduate-education stance in this bill, the committee chose instead to offer no incentives for graduate education." NAGPS had anticipated that the tax legislation would extend a tax deduction for student loan interest, and would offer a tax incentive to employers who sought to pay for employees' graduate school. Both provisions have widespread bipartisan support and were promised in 1996 Congressional or Presidential campaigns. Those interested in learning more about the tax bill should visit the NAGPS web site at http://www.nagps.org/NAGPS/. NAGPS is also running a legislative alert email list.

Scientists solve mystery of Chile's 'whale graveyard'
A prehistoric whale fossil lays in the Atacama desert near Copiapo, Chile, in this August 2010 file photo released by Chile's Paleontological Museum of Caldera. A team of Chilean and Smithsonian Institution scientists investigating the graveyard of marine mammal fossils say toxins generated by algae blooms most likely poisoned the animals millions of years ago. (Provided/Museo Paleontologico de Caldera)
Luis Andres Henao, The Associated Press
Published Wednesday, February 26, 2014 4:47PM EST
Last Updated Thursday, February 27, 2014 6:28AM EST
SANTIAGO, Chile -- Scientists investigating a graveyard of marine mammal fossils near Chile's northern coast say toxins generated by algae blooms most likely poisoned the animals millions of years ago.
The study by a team of Chilean and Smithsonian Institution scientists was published Wednesday in the British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The experts travelled to Chile's Atacama region in 2011 to unearth one of the world's best-preserved graveyards of prehistoric whales. Their findings help solve a mystery about how dozens of whales and other marine mammals congregating off South America's Pacific Coast died only to emerge again atop a desert hill over a half mile from the surf.
"There are hundreds of whale skeletons yet to be found," said Nick Pyenson, curator of fossil marine mammals at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. "This is a site on par with Dinosaur National Monument here in the United States, a whole hillside littered with dinosaur skeletons. We seem to have the same thing except with whales here in Chile."
The remains were first found by construction workers in 2010 during the widening of the Pan American Highway, or Route 5, which is Chile's main north-south road. Other unusual creatures found at the "Cerro Ballena," or Whale Hill, site include an extinct aquatic sloth and a walrus-like toothed whale.
Scientists say the skeletons show the animals were poisoned by toxins some 5 million to 11 million years ago and "died at sea, prior to burial on a tidal flat."
"Based on the orientation of the skeletons and other information, these whales likely died from harmful algae blooms, which we know in the modern world can be a killer," Pyenson said.
Algae blooms can create poisons that can be ingested or inhaled causing organ failure in marine mammals. Blooms are common along coasts and are enriched by nutrients like iron carried by rivers into the ocean. Scientists say that for more than 20 million years, runoff from the iron-rich Andes mountains has created ideal conditions for harmful algae blooms along South America's western coast.
"The key for us was its repetitive nature at Cerro Ballena," Pyenson said. "No other plausible explanation in the modern world would be recurring, except for toxic algae, which can recur if the conditions are right."
With funding from the National Geographic Society, the Smithsonian team used sophisticated photography and laser scanners to create an online archive of 3-D images of the whales and they made life-size models before the site was covered by the highway. The fossils themselves were put in museums in Santiago and the northern Chilean city of Caldera.

A permanent wave, also known as a perm, is a chemical hair treatment that can be used to straighten or add curl and body to your hair. Every perm has two parts: the physical wrapping of the hair into shapes and a chemical bath that breaks and then reforms the disulfide bonds of your hair. In other words, the chemicals soften the inner structure of the hair.
Korean Digital Perm are a fantastic way and versatile process. With today's perms, you can have everything from body to loose and sexy waves to true curls. Hair perms will also give you the true "wash and wear" hair style that every woman seeks. A hair perm can free you from the hassles of setting, blow-drying, and curling irons.
Adigital perm is a perm which uses hot rods with the temperature regulated by a machine, which has a digital display, hence the name. However, the process of the perm is quite analogous to that of a traditional perm. The name "Digital Perm" is also copyrighted by a Japanese company, PAIMORE Co., Ltd. Hairstylists usually call it a "hot perm", but it is commonly known as a "digital perm".
A normal perm basically requires only the perm solution. A digital perm requires a (different) solution plus heat. This type of perm was developed in Korea.
The look is especially popular among women with long hair and traditionally straight hair types. This has made the process extremely popular in Asia and other regions where straight hair is the ethnic norm. Most digital perm machines come with a wide range of rod sizes, so virtually any permed look is possible.

Yes, you'll get here with only two stops but it will not be fun. Your whole trip could take 18 hours or somthign obscene like that.
Also, look into flying to Buffalo. It is an hour from Rochester, but often has fairs that are 20% (or more) cheaper. There is a chance that it will be in Syracuse, but that is only about an hour farther east.
Don't make any hotel reservations that you can't cancel, but as long as you get to the Buffalo/Rochester/Syarcuse area you'll be fine. You'll probably want to go to Buffalo at some point in the trip anyway to see Niagara Falls.
If you want to do a day trip or overnight without your dog, I know a couple Pit friendly kennels or they could probably stay at my house (on a crate and rotate of course)
Trust me, we have some AWESOME things in the works for next year, including a new event that we came up with and I have been grinning over since Sunday's meeting.
I'm thinking that the driving might be the best option.
The baby will be around 18 months by then, and will have plenty of entertainment with the other kids and the dog.
We can make stops for all of the normal stuff, and maybe a few spot shots as well.
I figure 48 hours would be about right for the trip.
