Sway – Summer Donna (self released)
Totally fucking incredible. I'm a sucker for banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, handclaps, and boy/girl harmonies so I'd already be hooked on Sway, but it's Catie Rae's voice that pushes them over the edge. It's beautifully unique and she's able to let it loose & go wild without ever losing control. Some of the best tracks are when it's just Catie & her guitar goin to town like on "Sprout." So the easiest route is to tag Sway with the country & folk labels but there's so much more to them than that (just like those giant alien robots). They infuse their sound with some carefree & unruly punk aesthetics. They're just too fucking cool.
A lot of the songs are unlike anything they've done before, adding some melodrama making me think of Devotchka or Victory At Sea, but then they include a few remakes of songs they already recorded to balance it out. A strange move for your third record but some of the makeovers are way better than the originals. It's saying a lot when one of my previous favorites was "Summer Donna" and I love the new version of it even more. Everything on here though is so goddamn catchy and charming. Perhaps due to my critique of their last record, Rock Bottom, which was missing the laughing and chatter bookending some songs on the first album, they added that back in. I think that means I now can control the future or something?
The best part of Songs For Your Sweetheart? IT'S FUCKING FREE. You can still buy a sexy letterpressed disc (drawn by Swayer Lillie and printed up by Lillie & my wife Elise). But if you're looking for some free fun, download this hot piece right here and you'll never listen to anything else. If you need ANY more convincing, just let it be known that I've listened to Songs like a hundred bazillion times and I still want more.
Disclaimer: all 6 people in Sway are my pals IRL

Random Bits: Lompoc and Cascade
I'm in the midst of an OBF post, but here are a couple tidbits I thought I'd pass along. First, from an email from Lompoc, announcing their 15th (!) anniversary:
Next, because I worry you won't have enough beer options, I would like to point this out:
The anniversary party may be a swan song of sorts - demolition of the New Old Lompoc is rumored for 2012 to make way for apartments and upscale retail. To Lompoc fans, this will be a blow to the neighborhood; enjoy every bit of it while it lasts.Well that's not good. I mean, it's a Red Sox pub!
Next, because I worry you won't have enough beer options, I would like to point this out:
Cascade Brewers & Blenders have opened the vaults! This Thursday through Saturday from 3 to 10 pm, there will be a second bar on the production side of the Cascade Barrel House where we'll be serving vintage and/or original Bourbonic Plague, Vlad the Imp Aler, Noyeaux and Beckberry. There is only one keg of each beer per day. When the vintage runs out, we'll fill in with the new versions of the Nouveau Noyeaux, Pre-Bourbonic and various other vintage drafts like 2009 Kriek and Apricot, and possibly a few others. This will be a cash only bar, and all beers will cost $7 per 8-oz glass.I don't know if they're going to actually let you wander the cask room, but maybe they will. If so, I highly recommend it. If not, I highly recommend it.

British sailor praises mates after ocean rescue
SAN DIEGO (AP) Halfway between China and San Francisco, British sailor Andrew Taylor suddenly found himself floating alone in the cold, rough North Pacific.
One moment he'd been helping to change a sail aboard the 70-foot yacht Derry-Londonderry-Doire, and the next he'd fallen overboard, smashed into the rudder and was being swept away in big waves and strong wind.
For a while he was within sight of the sloop, which is competing in The Clipper 2013-14 Round the World Yacht Race.
Then he wasn't.
"I never contemplated I would die. I did consider whether the boat would find me," the 46-year-old Taylor told The Associated Press in an interview from the boat via satellite phone on Thursday.
About one hour, 40 minutes after falling into the 52-degree water just past the International Date Line on Monday, Taylor was pulled out by his crewmates. He was treated for hypothermia and his leg was put in a splint. He'll have X-rays after the boat arrives in San Francisco on either April 11 or 12.
Taylor, a catering manager from London, said he never panicked and never gave up hope of being rescued because he knew his fellow crew members were well-trained for a man-overboard emergency.
"I just want to express my gratitude to the team for their work and effort," said Taylor, who had never set foot aboard a boat before he began training for this race in 2012. "It was a traumatic experience for everyone, for the crew as well as for me in the water."
Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first person to sail solo non-stop around the world, founded the Clipper Race to allow anyone, regardless of previous sailing experience, the chance to experience ocean racing. Every crew member has to complete a rigorous training plan.
Ocean racing can be incredibly dangerous.
In 2006, Dutch sailor Hans Horrevoets died after being swept overboard during the Volvo Ocean Race about 1,300 nautical miles west of England. He was pulled out of the ocean but his crewmates couldn't resuscitate him. Three days later, with Horrevoets' body still aboard, ABN AMRO TWO rescued the 10-man crew of rival movistar, which had begun leaking.
In 1997, Makoto Namba, who sailed for Japan in the 1992 and 1995 America's Cup trials, was washed overboard by a large wave and disappeared during a race from Hong Kong to Japan.
In the span of two weeks in April 2012, five sailors were killed during a race off San Francisco and four sailors were killed during a race from Newport Beach, Calif., to Ensenada, Mexico.
Previous major ocean racing disasters have been caused by freak storms, including the one that killed 15 sailors in the Irish Sea in the 1979 Fastnet Race and one that killed six in the 1998 Sydney to Hobart Race.
Taylor knows he was fortunate.
"I believe I'm a very, very lucky boy," he said. "There were many eventualities and possibilities that could have ended very differently."
Before he fell overboard, Taylor was on the foredeck helping skipper Sean McCarter with a sail change. They were having trouble so Taylor started to head back to get a pair of pliers. McCarter was able to unhook the sail when the boat suddenly leaned heavily to leeward.
"One second my feet were on the boat, the next second my head was in the water," Taylor said. "It happened so very, very quickly."
Taylor thought his safety harness was clipped to the boat.
McCarter said in a story posted on the race's website that somewhere between going to get the pliers then not needing them, Taylor got distracted and forgot to clip on again.
McCarter hollered "man overboard" and the crew began turning the boat around. Even after the engine was started, the boat hard a hard time in wind of 35 knots and waves estimated to be between 13 and 19 feet.
The crew could see Taylor about 200 yards away but he was quickly drifting.
"I asked for a heading to the casualty and got the reply I dreaded most; `We've lost visual.' All of a sudden the North Pacific became a very big place," McCarter said.
Taylor, who was wearing a life jacket and a dry suit, said a sudden storm pushed him farther from the boat and he was having trouble with his personal locator beacon.
"It really got very nasty for a while," he said. "I got rolled over in some of the waves, like a washing machine. By the time the storm passed I didn't know where the boat was."
More than an hour after Taylor fell in the water, a crewman shouted to McCarter that his personal locator beacon had just activated. Another crew member up the mast spotted Taylor more than 400 yards away.
"I heard voices screaming. I heard voices calling my name," said Taylor. "I lifted up my spray hood and the boat was right in front of me."

- JOHN LANGDON: Ph. D., Ancient History, UCLA.
Byzantine history
UCLA grants graduate degrees in Ancient History through the Department of History. The Department aims to provide students with both broad and deep training in the history of the ancient Mediterranean world. Students are expected to acquire familiarity with all periods of ancient Mediterranean history, from Archaic Greece to the end of Late Antiquity, and to gain appropriate competencies in cognate disciplines (e.g., Classics, Ancient Near Eastern Studies, Art History, Archaeology). Moreover, it is essential that students master the languages, analytical skills, research methods, and bodies of evidence that will enable them to contribute new knowledge to their chosen area of research. Finally, historians of the ancient Mediterranean world are expected to learn to understand and engage with the historiographic methods and concerns of the wider discipline of history.
Faculty members in the Ancient History field are: David Phillips (Ph. D., Classical Studies, University of Michigan: Associate Professor; Greek history, legal history) and Ra'anan Boustan (Ph. D., Religion, Princeton University: Associate Professor; ancient Jewish history, history of late antiquity). There are two emeritus members of the faculty, Mortimer Chambers (Ph. D., Classics, Harvard University: Greek history) and Ronald Mellor (Ph. D., Classics, Princeton University: Roman history). A Byzantine historian, John Langdon (Ph. D., Ancient History, UCLA), serves as a Continuing Lecturer in the Department of History.
Incoming graduate students are expected to have a strong background (demonstrated by multiple years of university-level study, with excellent grades) in ancient languages, especially Greek and Latin, but also, as applicable, other relevant ancient languages. Preference is given to students who have begun work on modern research languages other than English, especially German and French. In addition, students should have strong backgrounds in the history of the ancient Mediterranean world. For further information, please contact the field coordinator, Professor David Phillips, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Financial aid is available. Candidates for admission are offered recruitment fellowships for five years. In two of these years, the student will serve as a teaching assistant in a large undergraduate lecture course (commonly History 1, Introduction to Western Civilization). Opportunities exist as well to teach in the Classics Department as a TA (but those appointments are naturally made by that department). Research assistantships and readerships may also become available on a quarterly basis. Students are encouraged to seek external funding during the program. More information is available on Graduate Division's website.
We encourage study abroad at, for example, the American Academy in Rome and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. Several of our students have received fellowships for the summer seminar of the American Numismatic Society in New York.
We provide a high degree of attention from our faculty, for normally there are about eight students in our program in various stages. We are pleased to correspond with potential students.
Requirements for the Doctorate in Ancient History
Strong emphasis is placed on mastery of ancient languages, and students constantly take courses in cognate departments, such as Classics or Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. For the Ph.D., competence in French and German is also required, along with Italian for those working in Roman history.
For the Ph.D., students present four fields for preliminary examinations, which must be passed prior to beginning the dissertation. Three of these must be in History (e.g., Greece, Rome, Late Antiquity), and the fourth may be either another history field or a related field from another department (e.g., Greek sculpture, Roman law, literary history, or paleography). At least two of these examinations must be written, including the examination in the student's major field (see Written and Oral Qualifying Examinations below). The preliminary examinations are normally taken after approximately three years of work in the Department. If these are passed, the student proceeds to an oral examination, which will cover all four fields.
Writing the dissertation is likely to take a couple of years. Thus exemplary progress through the degree program would complete it in five years. The faculty of the Ancient History field who serve on the candidate's committee may, at their discretion, require an oral defense of the completed dissertation.
Students in the Ancient history field must have a reading knowledge of one foreign language approved by the field. In cases where the field deems it appropriate, coursework or alternate languages may be used to fulfill the language requirement, subject to the approval of the field coordinator and faculty adviser. If the student decides the option of coursework, they need to have a grade of B+ or better in a qualifying graduate seminar in History or Classics with a heavy language component.
Ancient: two ancient languages chosen in consultation with your faculty advisor (most commonly Latin and Greek, but other possible languages include, e.g., Hebrew, Aramaic, Akkadian, Egyptian).
Modern: French and German for all students, plus Italian for students whose major field is Roman history.
In addition to the requirements for admission to and satisfactory progress within the Ancient History field, you must meet the general requirements set forth by (a) the Graduate Division and (b) the Department of History that govern coursework. These requirements include the following:
- an excellent command of English, spoken and written;
- the ability to read at least two foreign languages, except for the field of U.S. History where only one foreign language is required (but for the Ancient field, see above);
- an acquaintance with general history.
Candidates for the Ph.D. are required to complete at least one continuing two-or three-quarter seminar, or alternatively, a continuing sequence of at least two graduate courses approved by the GGCC. This seminar, or its alternative, must include completion of a substantial research paper based at least in part on primary sources.
All students must write a dissertation prospectus (which could be written for credit as a history 596 or 597), which is expected to contain:
- a full statement of the dissertation topic;
- an historiographical discussion of the literature bearing on the topic;
- a statement of the methodology to be employed;
- a survey of the sources sufficient to demonstrate the viability of the topic
- a summary of each chapter;
- a select bibliography bearing on the topic.
The prospectus must be approved by the dissertation adviser prior to the dissertation prospectus defense. Copies of the prospectus will be given to each member of the dissertation committee prior to the defense.
Faculty serving on doctoral committees may require such courses as they deem necessary for preparation for qualifying examinations. Courses taken to fulfill M.A. degree requirements may also be used to satisfy Ph.D. requirements.
Doctoral Written and Oral Examinations
Before admission to candidacy, you must pass written and oral examinations. Students with outstanding incompletes are not permitted to sit for these examinations.
- Written Examination
In the written qualifying examinations, you are expected to show not only a mastery of your special subject, but also an adequate grasp of the wider field of historical knowledge and an ability to correlate historical data and to explain their significance. These examinations are designed to test not merely factual knowledge, but also your power of historical analysis and synthesis, critical ability, and capacity for reflective thinking. A knowledge of the history of any area includes a reasonable knowledge of its historiography and bibliography; of its geography; and of its political, cultural, economic, and other historical aspects.
You should select the fields for your examinations in consultation with your faculty adviser. A full-time graduate student must begin the written qualifying examinations not later than the end of the ninth quarter of graduate work.
For the Ancient History field in particular, students must take written examinations in at least two of the following three fields: Greece, Rome, and Late Antiquity. Each of these examinations includes two separate components: (a) translation and analysis of passages selected from a reading list of ancient sources in their original languages (reading lists are available upon request) and (b) expository essays answering questions regarding the history and historiography of a given field. The written qualifying examination is not to exceed eight (8) hours and must be turned in to the Graduate Adviser's Office no later than 5:00 pm of the day of the examination.
- Oral Examination
Within six months of completing the written components of the qualifying examinations, students must pass an oral examination. The oral examination will include questions from each of the student's four fields. As stipulated above (see Requirements for the Doctorate in Ancient History), three of the fields must be in History, while the fourth may be either another history field or a related field from another department.
The written qualifying examinations must be passed before the oral qualifying examination can be taken. The members of the doctoral committee determine whether or not an examination may be repeated (normally only once), based on their prognosis of the student's potential for successfully completing both the written and oral examinations within a specified period of time to be designated by the doctoral committee, but not to exceed one calendar year. You can find more information on how to form your doctoral committee in the Graduate Intranet.

This simple recipe pairs balsamic roasted quince with wheat berry to make a wholesome vegetarian meal. You could add goat cheese or feta in it as well - it would go so well with all the ingredients. I've used wheat berries as a base for this dish, but brown rice or pearl barley would go just as well.

Maria- your photos are getting really professional! Love all the styling!ReplyDelete

I can't believe I've never tried quince before now (except in Maggie Beer's delicious quince paste). I will have to hunt some down to try at home.

New Edition of Texas State Park Guide Available
AUSTIN, Texas — With the publication of the 3rd edition of the Texas State Park Guide, Texans and others now have one less excuse not to get outside to enjoy spring weather and breathtaking scenery and learn about the state's colorful history.
An easy-to-use Table of Contents, centerfold Texas state park locator map and three-page grid detailing facilities and activities make planning your next outing to one of the more than 115 state parks and historic sites a breeze. Guide users can flip right to the kind of recreational activity that appeals to them, whether it be hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing or just chilling out in a river or lake. Or open the booklet to page 12 and peruse the variety of overnight accommodations in state parks from lakeside cabins to mountain lodges.
A recently completed on-site survey of 11,000 state park visitors confirmed that the 112-page guide is one of the primary sources used to find out about more than 600,000 acres of public land, with 61 percent saying it had influenced their decision to visit a Texas state park or historic site. Some 43 percent of those surveyed indicated they had a Texas State Park Guide.
"The third edition is intended to be a ready-reference guide related to the entire state park system," said Walt Dabney, state parks director. "Texas is mostly privately owned, so if you like to go out and enjoy the outdoors, state parks are some of the primary places to do so."
Approximately 500,000 copies of the handy-sized booklet were printed by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and can be picked up free at any Texas state park, most TPWD law enforcement offices, the state's 12 Travel Information Centers and at various chambers of commerce and convention and visitor's bureaus. The guide is available, too, as a downloadable PDF file on the TPWD Web site in English and Spanish.
A new page, "Remember Texas," shines a spotlight on important legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps. It notes how many of the state parks' stone and log structures, bridges, dams and roadways built more than 70 years ago by the "CCC boys" endure even today as a fundamental component of the park system's infrastructure.
The booklet's State Park Directory, which is organized by the state's seven tourism regions, include vignettes about each park and historic site, as well as an address and telephone number. Symbols with each listing provide visual cues about the various facilities and activities to be found at a particular site.
The Texas State Park Guide also spells out the different types of state park user fees and special park passes, as well as details about how to reserve campsites, group shelters and other facilities.
Funds to underwrite the publishing of Texas State Park Guide were provided by Toyota through a sponsorship with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation. This is the third year the automaker has provided funding to help make the guide available free to the public.

Even though she started her career in public affairs as an English major, she's also currently making a mark in the commercial business in Shell, working as the Business Development Strategy Manager for North East Asia in the Shell Lubricants Supply Chain.
Min joined Shell in 2004 and since then she's worked in supply chain management, doing everything from logistics operations and materials planning to supply network planning and project management. In the past four years she has been responsible for all the warehousing and transportation activities of Shell Lubricants in the Greater China and Korea area, safely delivering high-quality products at optimal costs to lubricants customers.
Under her leadership, the North East Asia region has demonstrated a good track record of leading logistics cost and operational performance in the Shell Lubricants supply chain. Her most recent achievement was the outsourcing of the China logistics activities for which she and her team won the Shell Downstream Director's Award in 2011.
It is precisely this award that Min counts as the proudest moment of her career. "The project that won us the award was truly game-changing. Deep down, I have this excitement about new, cutting-edge ideas and plans. I had to map out how everything would work, without any previous examples or references – I absolutely loved it! I still live according to the lessons and values I learned on this project," she says.

Buyer Representation
Home > Buyers > Buyer's Guide > Buyer Representation
We Are On Your Side
Ascent Real Estatecooperates with other REALTORS® in the process of buying a home.
As your representative, Ascent Real Estate prefers to work as your buyer-broker. We will work in your best interest. All Ascent Real Estate REALTORS® have completed an advanced course in Buyer-Broker agreements.
These are just a few of the many things a REALTOR® can do as a Buyer-Broker:
Buying In A New Development
All new home developments use REALTORS® to market their properties. These REALTORS® encourage other REALTORS® to bring their Buyers to the developments and will pay normal co-op and buyer-brokerage fees. You, the Buyer, will pay no more for using a REALTOR® who represents you than using a sales associate who represents the Seller.
When looking at homes, we always want to be with you. We know there are times when you just want to drive around and get a "feel" of the neighborhood. We recognize this. Should you go into an open-house or model home without your REALTOR®, you may jeopardize your representation and may obligate yourself to additional out-of-pocket fees. So, should a model home or open-house look so good that you just have to go in, please tell the Seller's REALTOR® that you are working with us. Most, but not all, REALTORS® will honor your right to representation. Sign in and make sure you put your REALTOR®'s name down with yours. If the Seller's REALTOR® does not allow you to have your own representation, walk away and come back with your representative at a later time.

ALINA POPA: Joshua Tree Part 2
"Have you ever seen a Rumanian cowgirl?" Alina asks. This IFBB pro bodybuilder, one of the biggest and sexiest, is featured in a second video from her recent trip to Joshua Tree National Monument. She uproots a tree (well, sort of), poses and flexes her magnificent body in this fabulous desert setting and explains why her fans want her to wear "as little as possible" in her photos and videos. But that's fine with her, she says. "Sometimes less is more."
IFBB bodybuilding pro Alina Popa enjoys the sun, sounds and surf of Venice Beach in California. She walks through (and gets out of the way of) the ocean surf, does cardio on the beach, goes fishing for sharks and then climbs a rope and does various kind of pull ups at the famous Muscle Beach.
Rumanian IFBB pro bodybuilder Allina Popa, picks out her suits in the dressroom and then poses and flexes or Bill Dobbins' camera in his studio. Sorry about the brief, inadvertent nip slip. To book a photo/video shoot email:

CINCINNATI, OHIO – A strong second half performance from the field hitting at better than 47 percent highlighted Manchester University's trip to the College of Mt. St. Joseph of Ohio Saturday, Feb. 15.
The Spartans, falling to 5-18 overall and 4-12 in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, rebounded from a first half in which host MSJ (14-8, 11-5 HCAC) jumped out to a 25-9 lead en route to a 56-29 halftime advantage. MU was out-scored only 36-34 in the second frame of the Lions' 92-63 victory due to 47.8 percent shooting in comparison to the hosts' 37.5 percent performance.
Four Spartans closed in double figures. Junior forward Jon Thompson (Rushville, Ind.) tallied a team-high 13 points, earning double digits for the 10th time in the last 13 contests, while sophomore forward Jarod Schrock (Logansport, Ind.) and freshman guard Blake Brouwer (Elkhart, Ind.) each tossed in 12 points. Schrock kept himself in the league's top echelon in blocked shots by repelling two MSJ attempts, and Brouwer grabbed a team-best eight rebounds. Sophomore guard Brady Dolezal (Tipton, Ind.) added his name to the double-figure scoring column with 10 points to up his string of 10-points-or-more outings to 11 straight.
Manchester University moves into the final week of the 2013-14 season next week. They open their final two-game set with a trip to Defiance College of Ohio for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off Wednesday, Feb. 19.
