With slightly increased production values, and an increased vocal role for Carrie Brownstein, Call the Doctor showcases a much-improved Sleater-Kinney. While it suffers from the same malady that kept their debut in bed for a couple days--Second-Half Epstein-Barr--the overall picture is vibrant, powerful, and raw. Leave it to these women, and their irresistible press forging technique, to make punk polemics sound, and feel, fresher than ever.
"Call the Doctor"--Corin and Carrie in our ears on some Angel/Angel shit. The door is ajar. Fuck outta here, I thought it was a door? Call the doctor up and begin to make sense of it. Less than a minute to go, you find out you've been discretely fitted with an ICD. These corrective shocks will be felt throughout the album.
"Hubcap"--My SK-lovin' buddy Trick once filled up several pages of a notepad with a song-by-song grading of each album. Most songs scored "A," many others scored "A+," and I think there may have been an "A-" somewhere. Therefore, the "C+" he stuck beside "Milkshake N Honey" (as featured on All Hands on the Bad One) jutted out toward mine eye like an unwelcome tumescence.
"My dude! How?" He replied with some mumbly poo about how it dragged on and just wasn't very enticing to the ear at all, and he even used the word "turgid," except he didn't, because he doesn't know what that word means.
"There are worse songs in their catalog then that," I protested. "Easy." Challenged, I had a ready reply.
"Hubcap" is the insomnia anthem of our age. Super soporific. Lora's drums and backing vocals both bore me thick. The refrain is crap: "You're my co-pilot/Not my god pilot." It's like they got hung up on the phrase "God is my co-pilot" one day and thought they'd turned a neat enough trick to put it in a song. They didn't.
"Little Mouth"--Bratty Carrie, brattier Corin. This was made for screaming, be it while by yourself or by yourself in a crowd. Cocksucker tease blues, only one dare necessary, one day it'll all turn around. One woman is every woman, whether she wants to be or not. Sleater-Kinney relish the reality.
"Anonymous"--Anonymity, I feel, is for the shitbirds. Brown-winged and scared to fly. Do any of you freaks remember 1996? Remember when no-name nuts had no realm to disgrace other than the letters section of the newspaper? Remember letters and newspapers? Fuck, I feel like my mom reminiscing on the Fireside Chats. Anonymity by force or choice, we're talking about the extermination of identity and that's a weak move to me. To me. Own it or lose it, I say.
(Incidentally, Lora Macfarlane's best drumming is featured on this song.)
"Stay Where You Are"--Still figuring out how to fit their dogs with invisible leashes. Carrie rides the guitars with a supreme queen poker face, while her insides--you know--just have to be breakdancing on tidal waves under a firework-blemished sky.
"Good Things"--The most heart-pulverizing track in their discography, least till they get back together (oh stop, it's as inevitable as Charlie Brown's failure). The guitars are the shoulder for Corin to soak with tears, 'cause it does not doubt to resist the pain.
A near-flawless reflection on the impact one person can make on your life. Self-aware yet self-assured ("It's a dumb song/But I'll write it anyway.") Corin certainly could have "sung better" on "Good Things," but why? Her performance, all flay and flutter, personifies the keen sting of regret.
"I Wanna Be Yr Joey Ramone"--Listen to this fuckin' thing, here; all slipping and sliding around the edges of the kitchen counter, discretely snatchin' some donut holes (who left the box out?!) and eatin' 'em ducky-style. Mainly Corin's baby, but Carrie is practically a sound effect on the chorus.
What does it all mean, PSK? Does the female protagonist want to be a male idol because the guys get to have all the fun and attention and glory? Or because the dudes get all the pussy? All I know for sure, this was the first time Sleater-Kinney's music came to my attention, and it was pretty much down to the Thurston Moore namedrop. Well done.
"Taking Me Home"--Pissed women and the men who piss on them. Punk-drenched distress funky fresh dressed to aggress, ready to crash the party. "I got me mixed up with somebody else."
"Taste Test"--Lora sings sweet under Corin, while Carrie tries to have the hostages freed by confusing their captor. It worked, I guess, 'cause I didn't remember seeing a news story stating otherwise. Lyrics are circuitous, the music less so.
"My Stuff"--In the immortal words of George Carlin, "Have you ever noticed how other peoples stuff is 'shit,' and your shit is 'stuff'?" The best crafted song on Call the Doctor, but not the best, and not even top three, really.
"I'm Not Waiting"--Stoic to start, permitting Corin to set certain terms. "I'm not waiting till I grow up to be a woman." Rejected music for a parody of 1950s instructional videos. Sleater-Kinney aren't so much into instruction as direction.
"Heart Attack"--Corin plays drums, Lora plays guitar. It shows.
There's a line here, "Walking into your house, cause I really want to figure you out," that resonates with me. I don't drive or bike, so I have ample opportunity to walk by homes that, especially in this nice weather, have open windows and doors. I only get to peek for a second, just long enough to catch a couch, a blaring TV, a table covered with...what is all that exactly? Who lives here? What's their story? I am about stories, 'cause everybody on Earth has at least three in their pocket at all times. Some of which will outlive the one who wears the pants.
That's not Carrie's angle here, though. This is hypochondria in bloom as a lethargic two-step towards the unimaginable. "Stress case undone/Preplanned, no fun." Everything makes our molecules come up short, everything clogs our arteries, everyone is out to get us, no one cares but you, nobody lives forever.
Call the Doctor signified progression without compromise. It was clear that Sleater-Kinney could go even farther. They just had to want it.

Assessment Descriptions and Purpose
2018-2019 Assessment Calendar revised 1/29/19
Advanced Placement (AP) Tests:
These tests are developed by the College Board and cost approximately $86 per test. Danbury High School pays the examination fee for all AP students taking the exam. Only AP tests are administered for which a course is offered. Teachers who teach AP courses attend specialized training. Students who score a three (3) or better can usually receive college credit for the course. Students should check with their counselor to see if the college or university they plan to attend will accept AP scores for college credit. An annual report of AP testing is provided to each campus that participates.
American College Test (ACT):
This is one of two nationally accepted college admissions test. Students should check with their counselor to make sure the college or university they plan on attending does accept this test for admissions. Students must register for this test and pay a fee. Danbury High School is not a testing site, so students must register to test at another site as listed in the ACT Registration materials. Registration deadlines must be met and no refunds are available. Individual and campus reports are provided and national, state, and regional comparisons are available. Students' annual performance on this test is figured in the supplemental indicator on the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) and on the School Report Card. To receive acknowledgement fifty percent of the students taking a college admissions test must score at least 24. Students' scores on this test do not effect a campus's rating.
Students enrolled in grades K – 12 with previous instruction in the course requested are eligible to gain credit by such examination if they received at least a full semester of instruction in that course and score at least 80% on the exam. Written parent/guardian approval and school district representative recommendation are also required. On approval of the Attendance Review Committee (ARC), a student who has excessive absences may be permitted to earn or regain course credit lost due to absenteeism. Credit by Examination shall not be used to gain eligibility for participation in extracurricular activities but the grade does figure into grade point average (GPA). Exams are ordered through Texas Tech University or The University of Texas. Further information is available through campus counselors.
Dyslexia Screening:
The decision to complete a Dyslexia Screening is made by the Student Assistance Team and Dyslexia Interventionist when there are concerns about a student's progress in reading when they have not responded to other forms of classroom intervention. The screening includes the following:
- Phonological Awareness Test (PAT-2)
- Slosson Oral Reading Test (SORT)
- Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement, Second Ed. (KTEA-II)
- Gray Oral Reading Test, Fourth Ed. (GORT-4)
- Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (C-ToPP)
Results of the screening are shared with the Student Assistance Team.
In 2007, Senate Bill 1031 was passed, which called for the development of "end-of-course assessment instruments for secondary-level courses in Algebra I, Algebra II, geometry, biology, chemistry, physics, English I, English II, English III, world geography, world history and United States history." The purpose of the end-of-course (EOC) assessments is to measure students' academic performance in core high school courses and to become part of the graduation requirements beginning with the freshman class of 2011–2012.
In 2013, House Bill 5, changed the requirement for End of Course Exams, effective in the 2013-2014 school year. The End of Course required assessment instruments for secondary-level courses are Algebra I, English I, English II, Biology, and US History.
In spring 2012, the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) replaced the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS).
The STAAR program includes annual assessments for
- Reading and mathematics, grades 3–8
- Writing at grades 4 and 7
- Science at grades 5 and 8
- Social studies at grade 8
- End-of-course assessments for English I, English II, Algebra I, biology and U.S history.
Beginning in 2016, TEA will voluntarily administer STAAR EOC assessments for English III and Algebra II.
Districts are required by state law to provide this testing. Students enrolled in grades K-12 with no previous instruction in the courses requested are eligible. A minimum score of 90% is required for passing. Additionally, written parental approval and school district recommendation is required. Costs associated with this testing are a district expense even though parents are required to make a refundable deposit prior to ordering the tests. If a student fails to show up for the testing, the deposit is not refunded. Any score for which credit is awarded will be recorded on the academic achievement record but no grade points will be awarded. Examinations are secured through Texas Tech University or The University of Texas, which also provides study guides. These guides can be obtained from Texas Tech University web site at http://www.dce.ttu.edu. or by phone 1-800-MY-COURSE (800-692-6877); study guides are also available at The University of Texas web site at http://www.utexas.edu/ce/k16/cbe-ea/study-guides/ for tests purchased from that agency . If no credit is awarded, nothing will be recorded. More information regarding this testing is available in the DISD Credit By Exam Handbook found in each counselor's office, at the Curriculum and Instruction Department at the DISD Central Office, or on the district web site.
Field Testing:
Texas Education Agency (TEA) student assessment division annually conducts field tests on required State assessments. Districts and classes are randomly selected and participation is mandatory. Scores for participating districts, schools, or students are not reported.
Final Exams (for high school credit courses):
Final exams are required for all high school credit courses. Exams are usually developed by departments or individual teachers. An exam exemption policy does exist for high school students. Semester and final exams count as 20% of the semester average.
FITNESSGRAM is a health-related fitness assessment tool for grades K-12. It uses criterion-referenced standards called the Healthy Fitness Zones which are based on age and gender and represent the basic levels for good health and fitness in children ages 5 - 17 years. Students are tested in grades 3-12 using FITNESSGRAM.
IDEA Proficiency Test (IPT):
This diagnostic test is used for identification, placement, program design and program exit for Limited English Proficient (LEP) students. The IDEA Proficiency Tests were designed to evaluate proficiency in speaking, reading and writing in English. These tests are used in determining placement in limited English proficient programs.
Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS):
This assessment is a normed referenced achievement test that provides a comprehensive assessment of students progress in all basic educational skills. The primary reason for using this assessment is to gather information to help improve instruction. Danbury Elementary School administers this test to all students in grades one and two.
Math and Science Placement Tests:
These district developed tests are administered to determine student placement in accelerated courses in math and science in grades six, seven, and eight.
National Assessment of Academic Progress (NAEP):
This annual test sponsored by the federal Department of Education selects schools throughout the country for selected sample testing. States first have to agree annually to participate in the NAEP testing. The results are used to measure student performance in reading, math, science, and social studies. The Department of Education annually publishes NAEP results in a report. There are no district financial costs associated with this test.
Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT):
This test is administered to all grade 10 students and the top ten grade 11 students at Danbury High School expense. The test is developed by the College Board and is considered to be a practice test for the SAT. National merit scholars in grade 11 are identified using the PSAT scores. Individual student and campus reports are provided.
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT):
This is one of two nationally accepted college admissions test and is published and scored by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Students should check with their counselor to make sure the college or university they plan on attending accepts this test for admissions. Students must register for this test and pay a fee. Danbury High School is not a testing site, so students must register to test at another site as listed in the College Board SAT Registration materials. Registration deadlines must be met and no refunds are available. Individual and campus reports are provided and national, state, and regional comparisons are available. Students' annual performance on this test is figured in the supplemental indicator on the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) and on the School Report Card. To receive acknowledgement fifty percent of the students taking a college admissions test must score 1110. Students' scores on this test do not affect a campus rating.
Steps to Access Your Child's State Test Results
Student Technology Proficiency Evaluation:
This district-developed assessment is administered at every grade level and is used to measure the district's progress toward reaching DISD Goal #1 Objective 3: All DISD staff and students will demonstrate proficiency in the use of technology. The annual assessment includes performance assessment measures (i.e. products produced utilizing technology).
Teacher/Administrator Technology Proficiency Survey:
This district-developed assessment is administered annually and is used to measure the district's progress toward reaching DISD Goal #1 Objective 3: All DISD staff and students will demonstrate proficiency in the use of technology. The assessment includes objective measures as well as performance measures (i.e. products produced utilizing technology). All teachers and administrators will be expected to demonstrate mastery. The district will provide training for employees who need it.
These required state assessments at grades 3-11 for reading (3-9), English Language Arts (ELA)(10&11),Math(3-12),Writing(4 and 7), Science (5,10-11) and Social Studies(8,10-11) are administered annually. TAKS is based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) curriculum. Individual student and campus reports are available. Students must pass all four grade 11 TAKS tests to graduate from a Texas High School. Students who complete the course work but fail to pass one or more sections of the TAKS are not allowed to walk at graduation and do not receive a diploma. Out-of-school students are able to register to retake any section of the TAKS at any high school in Texas until they are successful. TAKS scores are reported on the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) and are used to establish school ratings on the school report card.
Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS):
This system is used for every English Language Learner (ELL student) in Texas as a method to gauge their English proficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Texas Middle School Fluency Assessment:
This is an instrument designed to identify the instructional needs in reading for students in grade 6-8. The assessment monitors growth in word reading efficiency and fluency for connected text. Connected to the assessment is a progress monitoring system that measures growth in the ability to identify words and improvement in fluency that indicates overall reading proficiency.

Samsung Galaxy Note. First Look
Today, large companies, especially corporate giants like Samsung, do not surprise users with extraordinary products...
|First look. Sony ST21i Tapioca Microsoft Windows Phone 7: Reasons for Failure First Look at Samsung Galaxy S3 as a 2012 Flagship
CES 2012. Press Day Part II. Microsoft, Nokia, NVidia, Sony – Pieces de Resistance
This is my final report on the first day of CES 2012 dedicated for press exclusively. Here I collected my impressions of the most notable events and some thoughts that did not get into the first part. Let's get to it.
Unfortunately, most companies did not have anything interesting to show at CES: Samsung decided to make a TV set with voice control their piece de resistance. And though this TV might be the future I was bored. However, later this year in Barcelona Samsung is going to show us something a lot more interesting but we will have to wait just until February.
Microsoft's Last Visit to CES
This was the last presentation of Steve Ballmer at CES since Microsoft is withdrawing from CES after 15 years of continuous participation. In my opinion, the main reason is that the companies need to rearrange their own schedules to correspond with the expo and have share journalists' attention with many others which is simple unprofitable for them. Major companies have all the resources to host their own events – they just don't need trade expos. It is especially true in case of Microsoft because its partners at CES are going to tell everything the company has to say.
There are always queues at CES to any presentation and people were waiting for hours to listen to the last Ballmer's speech. The word 'last' seems to have triggered a must see response and the importance of this event became a lot greater. Some probably just wanted to say that they were there at the last Ballmer's speech. I personally was not particularly interested in his presentation so I chose simple to watch a web streaming and did not go to the showcase. Well, actually it was not even live I merely watched a recording of it so I did not have queue. Ballmer's charisma did not work on me but I still want to share my impressions of his speech with you.
The first ten minutes were spent on the CES 2012 organizer ranting about how Microsoft is important for this expo and presented Ballmer with a collection of 15 CES badges for every year of Microsoft's participation. It is of course a heavy blow for CES to lose such a big partner and it can make other companies consider leaving too. But this fact does not affect us at all – we will still be getting news, announcements and releases.
Long before CES 2012 Steve Ballmer called 2012 the most important year for Microsoft ever so many naturally expected that he would reveal what the company is working on now. But he did not make any significant announcements it was a good bye speech going like: I am not sure what I am doing here but I am going to tell you once again about some cool stuff we have I hope you never heard of.
Another ten minutes were spent on a demonstration of basic WP7 and Mango features. During the voice control demonstration the phone missed one of the words but the speaker was insisting on everything working fine. A bit later they showed us a bunch of already announced WP7 phones and it was also boring.
Then they showed Local Bing search in action and told us that together with Yahoo Bing covers 30% of search requests in the US. It is not that big a deal actually especially after seeing in the Vegas airport every arriving person receives a Google greeting and an opportunity to download the latest Google Maps and a number of apps.
Most of the presentation was dedicated to Windows 7 and the best devices using this OS – I don't think there is any point retelling what he said as you can go to any electronics store and see everything with your own eyes.
The speaker than moved to Windows 8 and the audience gasped. We were shown a tablet prototype on Tegra 3 that was earlier presented at the NVidia event with the exact same words. The main feature is that the lock screen can be any image you want and you can slide any line to unlock e.g. a picture of a chair – you slide along a leg to unlock. It is a funny feature but nothing more.
Then there was a presentation of Windows Store – an application store by Microsoft. The company is trying to catch up with Apple here. Nothing special to report - just Microsoft's own app store.
Probably the main piece of news there was is that Kinect will become available for Windows and… that's it. Other parts of the presentation concerned the Metro UI in to get to all company's products. Yes, all of them.
So, all in all, for over an hour Steve Ballmer was not saying practically anything we had not known already. It also felt like there was nothing else to say. He did not give any figures on mango sales (there are almost none) and no figures on WP7 sales in Europe (same story). I can go on forever enumerating things he should have mentioned. I had a bad aftertaste after this presentation although it illustrates the state of the industry today. Companies do not have any precise plans for 2012 but still feel like they need to promise something but have nothing real to tell us. These presentations are a reflection of 2012.
Nokia – Seller of Stale Goods
This Nokia's presentation was extremely American – Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop was trying to sell us stale goods the ay Americans do: with pomp and a smile. You think I am joking? Just watch the video:
I know I have already said a lot about Nokia in the first part of this article but please bear with me. I think it is very interesting the way Nokia presented their new flagship. For starters, let's see what it is: it uses Nokia N9 and Nokia 800 design with a slightly bigger body, it has a 4.3" 800x480 display, a 1.4 GHz CPU (while other modern WP7 phones have 1.5GHz processors), and mere 512MB of system memory. The only upsides is the decent 8MPix camera and a not so bad front camera. And that's pretty much it.
The speaker was aggressively selling this phone to the audience. But never mentioned the two main facts: when and how much. Nokia was trying to make us buy a pig in a poke. The price and the release date is everything. But apparently Nokia did not want to kill the initiative in the crib and decided to keep it a secret. The aggressive promoting means it will cost at least as much as its rivals because of all the ads.
There can be only one conclusion to what Nokia 900 is – a complete and total failure. On the US market it is a double failure because the Nokia brand is long forgotten here. My colleagues were asking 'What were they doing all this time? This very simple and ordinary phone?' So Nokia 900 is the best the company could make for 11 months they have had and it is a total flop. The company did not keep a single promise – there are no exclusive add-ins to WP7, no superior photo quality (HTC Titan II really ruined everything for Nokia with its 16MPix camera – Nokia 900 has only 8MPix and will cost the same). Nokia was selling a PR product and ranting about the importance of the US market. They said nothing at all about how they were going to survive this year and it is the most relevant question – Nokia is sinking faster than before. The gap in technology and quality with the competitors is turning into an abyss and obvious to regular users. There are no signs of improvement of any kind. What Nokia did is announced a copy of the first HTC Titan which will be soon decommissioned. Enough said.
Nvidia Brings Tablets to Everyone
I expected a lot from the press conference given by NVidia, but during the first 30 minutes I was about to fall asleep. It is becoming the main topic of CES 2012 to show products we have seen before. To add to the trend NVidia highlighted Asus Transformer Prime based on Tegra3. The company insisted it is the first gaming tablet opening new possibilities, which is indeed revolutionary, but repetition makes it less startling. Feel free to read our review of Asus Transformer Prime if you have not done it yet.
Now look at the slide, which states the obvious about tablets as the fastest growing segment of the mobile devices.
The audience woke up during the introduction of Windows 8 tablet with Tegra3 inside, but there was nothing special there. A better impression was produced by a 7" Android tablet from Asus with Tegra3. The characteristics are standard: ISP screen, one of the best cameras in the class, 1GB of RAM and Android 4.0. When the journalists were asked to guess the price they mentioned $300-$350, but the company said that in summer this model will hit the shelves at the price of $249. Asus must be impressed by the pricing of Amazon Kindle Fire and intends to follow suit, which is logical. This amount means that in summer we will get tablets for $150-$200 from the second tier manufacturers and by the end of the year Android tablets will cost $199. Android will be boosted similarly to smartphones before, but the only difference is that the OS itself will be equal to Apple solutions only in 2013.
Nvidia will cheer the growth of the tablet market irrespective of the OS as it helps to sell Tegra3. Surprisingly, but unlike in 2011 nothing was said about phones. The manufacturer remained tight lipped about its ARM plans and showed only tablets and Tegra3. I was surprised by this silence and would like to get more insider information about Tegra3.
Sony Phones and Accessories
The press conference of Sony officially proclaimed the death of Sony Ericsson as new models belong to Sony only. I described Ion for AT&T in another article, so I will not dwell on it any more. It is worth mentioning Sony Xperia S in the new NXT range. Sony keeps on experimenting with design and the new concept is labelled Iconic Identity for Sony products to be instantly recognizable. For example, in Xperia S we see a tiny transparent stripe at the bottom, which becomes bright during the call or other events.
In terms of hardware Xperia S is almost a complete copy of Ion. A 4.3" HD screen (1280х720) adds to a 1080p video recording and a 12 MP camera. The most interesting addition is NFC implemented by Sony in a different and smart way. In the box with the phone you get two tags, which can be programmed. For example, you come to the office, where this tag is on the table. Touch it with the phone and it goes to the silent mode or starts the mail app. It is called Xperia SmartTags. I think it is a useful way of popularizing this new technology. On the down side Sony left out the memory cards and we have only 32 GB of inbuilt memory. The price goes up as well, because it is Sony. SIM cards are now microSIM and the battery is inbuilt. All in all there are many small tweaks in the trend of iPhone.
I like accessories, which come together with the phone. Smart Wireless Headset pro is a Bluetooth headset with inbuilt memory and FM radio. If disconnected from the phone it can play the saved music or transmit radio broadcasts. It looks nice and gives two features bundled in one body.
SmartWatch fits almost any Android smartphone and shows weather forecasts, time, helps to manage music and so on. The gadget still cannot beat iPod Nano with a bracelet, but the Sony product must be cheaper.
This is everything i wanted to say about the first day at CES. Tomorrow the exhibition proper starts, so wait for pictures and videos of products. Don't forget to check our website.

Planning your Christmas Party
Christmas can be a stressful time of year for many people. There are so many things to organise and it usually works out that everything is left to the very last minute. Follow these easy steps and you will be well on your way to a calm and stress free Christmas party this year.
Start planning early (October/November)
Everyone knows that by the time December comes around, the days quickly dissapear before our eyes! That is why it is important to finalise your party date and put together your guest list well before the end of November.
Find the perfect venue
Use www.venuezi.com to submit an enquiry. Outline all of the necessary details and include as much information as possible. Use your enquiry dashboard to manage quotes from venues, talk about menu and beverage options and organise an area that is perfect for your party. You can shortlist your two or three favourite venues and invite your guests to vote for their preferred party destination
Be realistic about guest numbers
During the festive season some of us have a tendency to over-indulge. Remember that although you may want to hold a big bash for all of your friends and family, it is important to stay realistic. Consider the size of the venue you have booked and also the cost per head you have budgeted for. Keep it manageable as it is always better to have an amazing small party than a large poorly-put-together one!
Send out your invitations early.
You'll find people's calendars start to fill very quickly in December, so invite your guests as soon as possible. Set the tone for the party with your invitations. Ensure you include as much information as possible so your guests know when they need to RSVP, whether they can bring their children, what they need to wear and any other relevant details.
Determine final numbers.
Ask your guests to contact you in advance if they intend to bring any extra guests. Don't forget to call anyone who doesn't RSVP within a week. You can create an event through Facebook, invite all of your guests and easily manage your RSVPs online.
Confirm the catering with your venue
There are some obvious considerations: the type of Christmas party you are hosting, your theme and budget. Christmas food can be either traditional or, in a hot Australian summer, casual. Barbecued seafood is always a hit for a casual Christmas soiree, but you won't go wrong with a roast turkey either. Talk the menu through with your Function Coordinator to create a menu that is just right for your event.
Set a budget for food and decorations
Determine exactly what you can afford to spend before you go shopping. Write a detailed list and don't deviate from it even for the most fabulous impulse buys
Decorate your venue for the event
Check with your Function Coordinator to find out how much time you have to decorate before your party starts. Choose decorations that fit well within the space you have booked and don't take up too much space. Also ensure that you do not spend more than you budgeted for as the cost of a party can quickly grow.
Delight your guests with Christmas party favours
Small personalised gifts are always a hit and are a great way to thank people for attending your party. The favours don't need to be extravagant, remember, it's the thought that counts.
Keep a checklist
Write everything down that you need to do and set yourself date orientated goals. Remember to organise things earlier rather than later and refer back to the Venuezi blog for information and inspiration. You can also review the details of your party through your Venuezi enquiry dashboard.

Byron Bay Writers Festival in review
Around 9,000 people spilled into the Byron Bay Writers Festival grounds over the three main days of the 10th anniversary event. Festival goers had a choice of over 90 sessions featuring more than 130 acclaimed Australian and international writers, covering a broad range of topics, from the environment, to history to sport.

Journalist and author Gideon Haigh, who took part in a number of sports panels, weighed into a discussion asking whether big business benefits sport or has it turned it into an unsustainable entertainment commodity that is filmed to sell rather than played to be enjoyed?
"I certainly would not argue that Kerry Packer saved cricket by any means, I think he was an extremely skillful businessman who saw that cricket was commercially undervalued, and available for purchase at a discount."
"Sport is unusual as a form as entertainment content because, unlike movies or drama series, you can't really repeat it. Its commercial value declines very sharply once the first run of the episode has been screened, so there is a continual pressure to create new content. That is why there is so much sport played internationally these days because television demands it."
The big bucks of international sport seemed a million miles away when Haigh and actor and author of the recently published Cricket Kings, William McInnes opted to take time out from the festival. But they weren't to be found down by the sea or in one of the popular tourist towns many cafes.
Haigh seemed to relish recounting an invitation he issued to McInnes to have a hit in the cricket nets at Byron Bay. "As soon as I knew that I was on a panel with Bill, I knew that he had recently written a book about club cricket, I'm a club cricketer, it is getting towards pre-season time, I figured we could both do with a hit, so I said if I bring the gear up would you be interested in a hit and he said are you serious and I said I am always serious about a hit."
McInnes says much of his book is set around community cricket matches, played on an oval not unlike the recreational grounds he padded up on in Byron Bay.
"It is one of those sort of games you see when you are driving through the suburbs sometimes and you just sort of see these guys standing on an oval doing not much, and it is like an old idea of Australia... you know those fantastic iconic photographs of those guys playing cricket on Gallipoli's beaches, and the guys playing cricket against a bushfire... that represents a strong potent image of Australia that tells I think how a lot of people think of themselves as Australians"
Back at the festival grounds, the tenth anniversary Byron Bay Writers Festival wound up with the final panel discussing some of the highlights and lowlights of the event over the past decade. Panel member and acclaimed author, Robert Drewe, recalled how his initial involvement with the event coincided with a very eventful theatre debut.
"In 1989, the then young theatre director, Peter Barclay, the first director of the festival, invited me to turn my book The Bodysurfers into a play, backed by the Northern Rivers Writers Centre. Well I wasn't a playwright and what resulted could only loosely be described as a play, but it was deemed suitable for the performance and the fun began. I don't know if anyone remembers August 1989, but there was a national pilot strike on, so none of the city critics could make it up to see the play."
"By here, I mean the Lismore Town Hall and the first strange Thespian experience of my life. So it is the opening night of The Bodysurfers, the play, performed by a cast of enthusiastic newish actors in the town hall. One particular beach scene does not call for the young female sunbather to remove her bikini top and jiggle across the stage, but for artistic reasons she decides to anyway. In the second row in prime seats, sits the entire Anthony family, of National Party fame, conservative lords of the local manor, showing the flag for North Coast Arts.
At the sudden display of bare breasts a small moan rings out from the second row, and the Anthony family matriarch faints dead away. The elderly lady has to be lifted over the front row and carried out by the male Anthony's. All eyes leave the stage, and they even leave the wayward breasts, and follow her horizontal procession out of the theatre. Then it is interval. The Anthony family do not return. Many audience members deem it politic to support their critical judgement."
"At the after party, in its flavour somewhere more like a wake then a celebration, the noted North Coast resident, Mungo MacCallum, commiserates over the cast wine, 'I liked that part best', he says."
The panel did agree that the event can easily justify its reputation as one of the best literary festivals in the country. Robert Drewe says with a degree of irony, "it is hard to believe there was actually life on earth before the advent of the Byron Bay Writers Festival" and is supported by Mungo MacCallum who made the definitive statement, "the Byron Writers Festival is just the best weekend of the year, it is as simple as that".
The final panel discussion also gave writers and festival guests the opportunity to farewell highly successful Festival Director of seven years, Jill Eddington, who has decided to make the 10th anniversary event her last.
"I think it is one of those festivals, that as always, the writers have delivered their absolute best and the audience have engaged with every session, and that is the ultimate as a director obviously, I think when it was absolutely pouring with rain and we couldn't have had worse weather if we had tried to order it, and every one of these tents was packed full of people, and that was probably the biggest thrill for me, to see that the pulling power of the program, that people are so connected with the whole festival that they'd be here, rain, hail or shine."

First person military war thriller, exploring the exotic Himalayan country-like fictional world, creating unimaginable realistic celebrity faces and guessed hundreds of words people were attempting to draw, was what I got up to in the holidays.
Whether I was riding on top of an elephant or fighting off green-blob like objects, I was sitting around staring at any screen I could possibly find. My holidays was a mix and mash off listening to old 'throwback' songs and talking to my so called 'online' friends. When my sister could be bothered, we would eventually go out everyday for a run.. something I thought I wasn't capable of considering the couch looked irresistible.
Yes, the Victoria Stephenson did actually go out for runs, walks with Mummy and weeding the garden. I was actually doing cardio too! At 5:30 pm on most nights, if you were heading into Wattle downs, you would see us walking. If you were awake at 6:00 am, you would see the Stephenson Sisters running to the duck pond and so on.
So that's basically a sum up of what I actually did besides me staying awake till morning and sleeping most of the day, to me raging at games and dying unexpectedly.
This nocturnal human being had one of the most boring holidays in all holidays accounted for.

Oh, pasta… If I wouldn't have solid evidence that I'm not Italian, based on my love for pasta, I could easily pass as an Italian.
I always find it difficult explaining people what it feels like to be a foodie. Food is not just to satisfy your hunger and nourish your body. Food is unbelievable tasty (if cooked properly) and all those amazing flavours should be enjoyed. Enjoying a good meal is a pleasure for me and preparing it is pure joy.
Although, as far as I researched, the chicken fettuccine alfredo is an Italian recipe, with an American twist. Apparently only in the US this recipe is made with cream. So, go, go, US!
Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Pasta Recipe
|Prep. Time
|Waiting Time
|Cook Time
|10 mins
|30 mins
What you will need
1. Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the package. They should be done in about 10 minutes, or less. Don't forget to add some salt to the water.
What's the difference between fettuccine and tagiatelle pasta? It's just width thing. Fettuccine are wider that tagiatelle. They are basically the same thing, sinc they are made from the same ingredients.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and garlic to taste. I personally like it more garlicky, but you can definitely add less.
3. In a frying pan, melt the butter and cook the chicken slices on both sides for a few minutes until they turn golden brown. I like the chicken to be nice and crispy (also brown) so I let it a few extra seconds.
4. Let the chicken cool down for a few minutes and cut it into bite-size cubes.
For the sauce
This step is the key to the yumminess of this recipe. Prepare the sauce in the same frying pan you cooked the chicken. Don't wash the pan! This is quite nasty because in the pan there's all that fat from the butter and the chicken and also the condiments. It's nasty but so tasty. The fat and the garlic will give the Alfredo sauce an amazing flavour.
5. So, in the unwashed frying pan where the chicken was cooked, add the cream and let it warm up a little.
Did you know… that the Alfredo sauce is named after Alfredo di Lelio? He invented Pasta al Burro – a pasta recipe with butter and parmesan – to please his pregnant wife. He opened a restaurant in Italy where he sold his new discovery. Later, he opened a restaurant in NYC as well. – Source
6. Add the magic: parmesan cheese. Stir the mixture on low heat, until all the cheese is melted. At this point, I advise to taste it and see if it needs more salt and pepper. Although, I don't think it would: the parmesan cheese is quite salty itself.
7. Add the chicken bites and the drained pasta to the sauce and mix everything well. You're done!
These chicken fettuccine alfredo pasta are best served warm. They will still be tasty the next day, but the nasty pasta will absorb all the cream sauce and you will be left with nothing. So, that's why I advise you to it them on spot.
Hope you liked this recipe. Don't forget to give the other food recipes around here a go.
What is your favourite pasta dish? Let me know in the comments section!

As a dedicated middle class drunk, I have had ample opportunity to become acquainted with many less-than-expensive malted alcoholic beverages. In other words, I've gotten drunk on a lot of cheap beer and malt liquor. Sometimes I still do from time to time, although these days I can afford decent booze and don't need to slum too much. I still know what I know, though, so I thought I'd share my opinion on nice nauseating beverages which you may or may not be familiar with.
1. Natural Light
It wouldn't make any sense to start this list with
anything BUT Natural Light, the most high-profile
and most widely available of the cheap-ass beers
in the U.S. "Natty Light" is made by mega-corporation
Anheuser-Busch, providing us with yet another
example of the evils of corporate capitalism. Natty
Light's alcohol level is actually a bit below
the average of most mass-market pale lager beers
(the average is 5%; Natural Light is 4.4%). And yet,
this swill can pack a punch, especially if you haven't
developed a taste (or tolerance) for it. It can be
surprisingly smooth and it has only 95 calories per
serving, which is pretty decent. But it's still cheaply
brewed crap, so if you have more than 3 or 4 of these,
prepare for nasty headaches the next day. I used to
drink this fairly regularly in my poorer days, then
stopped for a while. The other day I bought a 12-pack
for old time's sake. After 2 cans, I felt like taking a
4-hour nap. At 32, I'm already too old to drink this
shit. If you're college-age, though, you probably
live on this garbage. Okay, if you're college age and
so poor you eat out of dumpsters.
2. Red Dog
Ugh. Jesus.
Red Dog is made by Plank Road Brewery (which is really
Miller, but they would rather not associate their main
brand with this liquid feces). It is around 5% alcohol,
and it is bitter and somewhat harsh. In my experience, the
hangovers from it are actually not all that bad. That's
probably because I never managed to drink more than one
or two. I'm not entirely sure that's it NOT made from
dog piss. No, that would be an improvement. If you have
to drink this, make sure it's very cold.

or two. I'm not entirely sure that's it NOT made from
dog piss. No, that would be an improvement. If you have
to drink this, make sure it's very cold.
3. St. Ides
This is the first malt liquor on our list. And with good
reason, as it boasts 8% alcohol. I first became acquainted
with St. Ides about 15 years ago when I was living in New
York City. I was passing a convenience store on my way
home from work late one night and saw a poster advertising
a 40oz bottle of this sh*t for 99 cents. So I figured,
why not? Why not indeed. It tasted like someone dropped
a shot glass of beer into a bucket filled with kerosene.
I was so f****d up when I was done I passed out. The next
day, I woke up thinking that maybe I had leukemia or Lou
Gherig's Disease, or something. I was achy, irritable
and dehydrated. That's all you need to know about St.
Ides. Also, Ice Cube used to endorse it.
4. Pearl Light
Pearl Light is unique among the beers on this list in that I could not get drunk on it. I bought a 12-pack of this stuff years ago and halfway through drinking it, I realized, much to my horror, that I didn't even have a buzz. Pearl Light used to be brewed by Pabst, but is now contracted out to Miller. Not much else I can say about this "beer". Apparently, it has a long history in Texas.
5. Steel Reserve High Gravity
I drank Steel Reserve only once, I believe. A lot of
people drank it once. I remember drinking a couple
of 16 ounce cans of this stuff a while back, and
felt dizzy and weird almost immediately. Usually
a beer buzz is pleasurable, but sometimes it's
uncomfortable and strange. And it's not just me.
A former co-worker, who is about 6 feet tall and
weighed close to 300 lbs, told me he once downed
a can of Steel Reserve while sitting, then stood
up and the room started spinning around. And he was
the kind of guy who had a good tolerance for
alcohol, too. It still ambushed him and kicked
his goddamn ass. Steel Reserve is labeled as 8%
alcohol (in most states) and is made by...wait for it!
...Miller. This is their third entry on this list.
Sadly, it won't be their last.
6. Milwaukee's Best Light
Milwaukee's...Best?? BEST?!? I would really hate to
have to sample Milwaukee's worst. I would get a couple
of 32oz cans at the store for a dollar each a few
years ago. I was obviously going through hard times
if I was drinking this sewage. It is thin, watery
and very carbonated. If you're a high schooler or
broke-ass college student, this beer probably seems
like a pretty good deal. And I suppose it is a good
deal for what it is. Which is trash. To its credit,
after downing 64 ounces of this at a time, I didn't
feel like I was going to die. I just felt like I'd
wasted my time. Oh, and by the way, know who makes
this? F****G MILLER.
7. Bud Ice
Made by Anheuser-Busch. 5.5% alcohol. Comes in a
40oz bottle. Tastes like anti-freeze. Bad hangovers.
8. Olde English
Ahh, Olde English. Just about everyone I know seems to have a story about Olde English, usually involving vandalism, fistfights, the police, sexual assault and/or vomiting. I haven't had this swill in years, and God willing, I will never again drink it. "Regular" Olde English is about 6% alcohol, although other varieties of it go as high as 8%. Out of all the malt liquors out there, this one seems to be the one that most white people will drink, if they drink any malt liquor at all. I'm not sure why that is. My memory of drinking it is that it started out smooth, then tasted a bit harsher and then...well, I can't remember. Oh, and guess who makes it? It starts with an M and ends in an R, and rhymes with "killer".
9. Busch
As the name suggests, this is brewed by the mother
f*****s at Anheuser-Busch. Think Budweiser is boring
and tasteless? Try this stuff. It'll make drinking Bud
Light feel like an orgy of flavor is going on in your
mouth. While it's certainly cheap, it's not the kind of
beer that will give you a decent buzz, even after 3
or 4 of them. The taste is not any worse than say,
Natural Light, but if you're going to be cheap anyway,
just buy f*****g Natural Light. Actually, if Natty
Light is a 19-year old frat boy, Busch could very
well be its balding, beer-bellied 47-year old dad.
Same genetics, just slower and lamer.

Shi Jindian — Sculptures and Paintings
Director: A Thousand Plateaus Art Space
Opening: March 27th 2010, 3pm
Exhibition Time: March 27th May. 5th, 2010
Exhibition Venue: A Thousand Plateaus Art Space, 87 Fangqin Jie, Chengdu
About Shi Jindian and Beijing Jeep BJ-212
Shi Jindian was born in 1953 in China's Sichuan Province. He graduated from the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing in 1974, and currently lives and works in Chengdu. One of his earliest works involved wrapping an antique Chinese door in wire and then burning it so that only the wire survived. The inclusion and destruction of this example of traditional Chinese culture was designed to provoke insights into the nature of contemporary Chinese culture.
One of his largest and most complex works is 3/4 Beijing Jeep. This work is over four-meters long, two-meters wide, and one-point-three meters high and comprises more than 2000 component parts of a fully functioning motor vehicle. In order to make this work, the artist bought a Beijing Jeep and dismantled it. The entire chassis, engine, transmission, exhaust, cooling system, suspension, brakes, steering system, and wheels were broken down in their component parts, wrapped in wire, and reassembled as a shadow of its former self. The work is complex and fascinating. It is like a full-sized solid version of the exploded-assembly technical instructional drawings that are used extensively in automotive maintenance manuals. For boys (and girls) who like toys it is a compelling work.
The selection of this object has particular cultural significance. Production of the Beijing Jeep (more correctly known as the Chinese National Defense Science and Technology Commission BJ 212 Light Off-Road Jeep) began in 1965 and it quickly became an important symbol of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). Mao Zedong used the Beijing Jeep to review the Red Guards that massed in Tiananmen Square and elsewhere. The image of Mao standing in the jeep and waving to the assembled hordes became a defining image of the Cultural Revolution. Images of Mao Zedong have been a source of inspiration for China's contemporary artists since the end of the Cultural Revolution. Shi's work is much more subtle. It evokes the image of Mao but as a memory of this key era in China's recent history given solid form.
The process of making these works is hugely time-consuming. The wire is wound in one continuous line across the surface of the object, stopping every centimeter or less in order to be wound into a whorl before changing direction to delineate the surface of the object in a series of closely linked triangles. It is a form of meditation that may be related to the work of the literati artists of the past in that it reflects the spiritual experience of the artist as a self-contemplation outside and beyond the artwork. But in practice the artist needs assistants. The making of the 3/4 Beijing Jeep would have taken one person working eight hours a day more than three years to complete.

How to Avoid Ring around the Collar
Proper steps should be followed to avoid getting a ring around the collar. Necessary care and effort is required to eliminate a ring around your corner, making it a thing of the past. The below tips will help you achieve that.
- Keep yourself physically clean. Shower daily. That will do wonders in keeping the grime off your neck. In addition, any dirt that has accumulated on your neck will be easily washed off. The best time to take a shower is in the mornings. That way you can ensure that oils do not accumulate over your neck and attract dirt.
- Apply a stain removal or repellent on a freshly laundered shirt before wearing it. That will ensure a ring does not form around the neck.
- When wearing a collared shirt, avoid all activities that could cause perspiration. It is then that dirt collects and forms around the collar as a ring. Make sure you are in an air conditioned room, or at least one that is well ventilated in the summer months. Avoid all those activities that require even the smallest bit of physical work in fancy, dress or formal shirts.
- Wash your shirts immediately after you take them off. If you allow your shirt to remain unwashed after an extended period, a ring will set around the collar. Although it may seem a bother, the best way to avoid a collar ring is by washing your shirt as soon as you are done wearing it.
- Wash your shirts with special detergent that are specifically formulated to dissolve rings around the collar.

Understanding what�s in it for you by way of President Barack Obama�s $787 billion stimulus package can be as difficult as deciphering an IRS tax form.
Despite criticisms over the plan�s corporate bailouts and pork projects, there can be considerable savings � mostly through tax credits and breaks � for regular Joes and Janes.
The problem is finding out about them. There is no single source.
Here�s how you can take advantage of some of those benefits as outlined by various sources, including the federal government and various news outlets:
IT PAYS TO WORKIt�s called the Making Work Pay Tax Credit, and here�s how it works: Uncle Sam is giving taxpayers a 6.2 percent break on their federal income taxes for the rest of 2009 and 2010. Single workers earning $75,000 or less can get a maximum break of $400 ($800 for couples with combined earnings of $150,000 or less).
The government is distributing the cash by allowing companies to withhold less money from workers� paychecks. If they aren�t receiving it now, workers will soon begin seeing about $20 extra in biweekly paychecks.
BUY A HOMENow is the time to buy for people looking for a new home, and it isn�t solely because of low interest rates.
Under the First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, people who buy a home before Dec. 1 qualify for a tax credit equal to 10 percent of the purchase price up to a maximum $8,000. Single people earning $75,000 or less ($150,000 for couples) qualify for the full credit.
ENERGY UPGRADESIf thinking about making your home more energy-efficient, you should do it this year.
Homeowners can get tax credits on purchases of energy-efficient furnaces, air conditioners, windows, doors, roofs, insulation, heat pumps and water heaters, among other things.
The stimulus allows a credit of up to 30 percent of the cost (up to a maximum $1,500).
There is good news for the unemployed.
People on unemployment this year won�t have to pay federal income tax on the first $2,400 they receive in unemployment benefits.
Unemployed workers previously had to pay federal taxes on 100 percent of unemployment benefits.
BUY A CARIf you need a new car, this also is the time to buy.
The stimulus plan permits purchasers of new cars, trucks, sport utility vehicles and motorcycles before year�s end to deduct state sales and excise taxes from federal income tax returns. You can take the deduction whether or not you itemize.
The deduction is limited to taxes on vehicles costing $49,500 or less and applies to single taxpayers earning $125,000 or less ($250,000 for couples).
Using Beaver County as an example, sales tax on a new vehicle is 6 percent. If you buy a $20,000 vehicle, you would be able to reduce your taxable income by $1,200.
GO TO COLLEGEParents with kids in college can find some relief in the stimulus.
Parents of college students can claim an annual tax credit up to a maximum $2,500 for the expense of sending children to college. The full credit can be taken by single parents earning $80,000 or less ($160,000 for couples).

A new golf course has been commissioned for construction in Sri Lanka.
China Harbor Engineering has signed a deal worth US$500 million to build a new course, as well as two hotels, near the town of Mattala.
Located in the south of the island, the new resort will be close to the Mattala International Airport, which opened for international flights earlier this year. The third international airport in the country, China Harbor Engineering built Mattala International at a cost of US$209 million, funded by the Chinese Government.
China Harbor Engineering is also building the port of Hambantota in Sri Lanka, which will become the largest port in south Asia by 2014. When completed, the port will be the biggest port constructed on land to date in the 21st century, and is further indication of the massive investment the Chinese government is making in this part of the world.
No architect has been named for the new project to date.

If you must have tone controls, you limit yourself quite a bit in terms of selection. McIntosh seems like the most likely choice. If your sources are digital, maybe a digital EQ like the Behringer deq2496 would be a better solution. The cost is low and it leaves you with options like using a stand alone dac to improve sound quality while the signal is still digital. Then you can just choose any preamp you like.
12 responses Add your response
What you can do is get a modern, no-tone control pre-amp with a processor pass through input, send an output from that pre-amp to an older pre-amp with tone controls, return the output from that pre-amp (with the signal "tone-controlled") back to the modern pre-amp (the processor input). You can then switch the tone controls in and out. For instance, a recent Audio Research line stage and the old SP-3 (the last ARC I remember having tone controls).
Several McIntosh preamp have highly versatile tone controls and balanced inputs/outputs. You might also consider the Spread Spectrum Ambrosia.
I do have one. Ultimately I prefer to listen without the EQ, but the reality is a lot of music I like is not recorded well I use the EQ to fix recordings that I would otherwise not be able to play on my revealing system.
Its not that expensive, but it has more features than you can possibly imagine. I know several posters on AG who has the same EQ, and have nothing but good things to say about it. If you're interested in one, downloading the manual would be a good place to start.
I should also note that when you first look at the manual or use it for the first time, it can be overwhelming. It looks complicated but it really isn't that bad. You control the signal path through the EQ using the menu system. As you make your way through, you pickup whatever functions you need, and leave the ones you don't. Also, if you have analog sources, you can get an analog EQ for them, and run it through the tape loop. Using the tape loop allows you to take the EQ completely out of the system when you don't want to use it.
If you live near a Guitar Center, you can get one there. They have a really good return policy if it doesn't work out.
McIntosh. The only other pre's (just off the top of my head) with the qualifications you desire are Japanese brands such as Accuphase, Luxman, Yamaha, Onkyo, and American brands such as D'Agostino. Most of them are higher priced than the McIntosh, unless you're talking about vintage Accuphase and probably Luxman.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Ive since purchased that unit and along with REW, smoothed out the null and peaks that my treatments weren't able to fix.
I have also EQ'd to a house curve to resemble a Fletcher-Munson curve and shelved the treble to tame the brightness of the 801N.
I am very satisfied with the flexibility of the unit and will be playing around with the stereo width function once I have finalized my house curve.

Have you ever had one of those days that makes you want to say "I QUIT!!" but wait! your a mom, you can't quit and go hang out at the bar... oh boy did I want to! lol
So Monday after school the kids went down for a nap. Ahhh quiet time. I hear Kaitlyn stirring, then fuss a little then .... PUKE! Oh boy... I do not deal with vomit very well. I can deal w/ snot, pee, poop even blood but NOT VOMIT! So I go in there, she is covered, her bed is covered... EEEWWWW!!! So, I pick her up and run to the bathtub. Pull everything off the bed before it soaks thru... Go back and strip her down, turn on the shower.
Now I hear Kassel stirring... look in the bedroom, hes crawling out of bed. Turn back to Kaitlyn, she's grossed out by the chunks in the shower! Turn around again and Kassel is covered in Poo! It's soaked thru his pants, his shirt and obviously all over MY BED!! ugh. Grab him, toss him into the shower, strip him.... now theres even more nastyness in the shower along w/ 2 nasty kids. Both kids crying, mom crying, house smells like both vomit and poo! AAAGGGHHHH!!!!!
I just stood there in the bathroom for a minute and tried really hard not cry, scream "I QUIT" or or walk out of the house! It was one of those things that its like nothing else could go wrong! Then the doorbell rang! HAHA NO, I'm not answering the door right now! I still have no idea who it was, if it was you sorry I missed you!
So the kids are showering, strip down my bed, start one of the million loads of laundry that were going to be done within the next few days...
Needless to say its been a very... NOT FUN week!
On top of both kids purging everything for both ends, I had dentist appointment and then another dentist appointment and going back again next week. Non of us have had a good week.
Tomorrow is Friday a whole new day...cross your fingers, say a little prayer, whatever it takes tomorrow WILL be better.... right?

• Rising star RYAN STEGMAN (SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN, WOLVERINE) joins the INHUMAN team!
• Medusa and the Inhumans get a visitor to New Attilan- THOR!
• Who is Reader and is he friend or foe?!
A solid issue that further cements what's going on while expanding and teasing more of where it can go. Read Full Review
Soule continues to introduce the players of his story. I know some people are worried about how the story is developing but I feel that he is almost done placing all his characters. These new characters are fun and interesting which will keep you reading along with the fantastic art of Stegman and Gracia. The dialogue between Medusa and Thor alone is enough to raise your interest into the Inhumans. If you are looking for that creator own feeling with a Marvel twist then don't miss out on Inhuman! Read Full Review
Though technically still in its first arc, the latest issue of Inhuman feels almost like a different book. Obviously the artistic switch from Joe Madureira to Ryan Stegman plays a large role, but even Charles Soule seems to have shifted gears, focusing on entirely new events and characters. Read Full Review
Overall, Inhuman #4 tries to help regain the momentum of the event. Whether or not it does is still up in the air, yet, as of #4, it is on its way back to the top. Soule delivers a solid job on writing but could use work on the pacing. Stegman is a great follow up and will help the title regain its strength. Inhumans are the next big thing for Marvel and they arent going away. Inhuman #4 is a good starting point for any reader interested in them. It reestablishes the narrative and doesnt hamper itself in the process. There are mystery components and revelations that make the book interesting and worth a pick up. Read Full Review
I had the privilege to see some of these pages in a sneak preview at C2E2 2014, which fosters the impression that it's safe to assume Stegman has been able to gain a little more lead time in production than "Inhuman" seemed to have with Madureira on art. The story is well-crafted, well-drawn and smartly colored. The real test will come to fruition in the next few months as we wait to see how many issues come out before 2015. With Stegman onboard and Reader jumping into the cast with both feet, "Inhuman" #4 reads more like a new volume of the title and feels like it should be a new #1. Yes, the plotline and subplots carry into this issue from the first three issues, but Soule and crew provide readers with a nice place to join in. Read Full Review
Still, as a relative newcomer to this title, the political intrique is just dense enough to keep me interested. If Soule can lock in his pacing issues and if Stegman can open up his art for all scene, Inhuman could shift into a strong title for Marvel. Read Full Review
There's a lot going on in INHUMAN. We're seeing the Inhumans build a stronger presence for themselves as New Attilan is being developed. Charles Soule is balancing bringing in new characters along with some familiar Inhumans we would expect to see. The pacing between scenes in this issue feels a little frantic as it jumps back and forth in the middle of the action. Ryan Stegman makes his debut on the series and, along with Marte Gracia, it all looks really good. I'm still not 100% sold on delving further into the world of Inhumans but I am definitely intrigued with what is going on. Read Full Review
Inhuman is a book with a lot of potential, if nothing else for the off-kilter powers and unforgettable visuals these characters possess. A queen with living hair? A super-strong behemoth with hooves? Even characters like Lineage and the Reader, while their powers are vast and ill-defined, have a cool visual style. However, even with Ryan Stegman on board, there needs to be more than just the art to hold us over. Soule needs to give us a reason to root for these characters, a reason to empathize with them, if we're going to join Medusa's army. This may be the way things are done in New Attilan, but now that the Inhumans are in the spotlight with their own series, they're going to need to launch a charm offensive with readers fast. Read Full Review
This issue contains some interesting moments, but does very little outside of the ordinary. It capably moves through plot points and positions characters, but effects little emotion or drama. The storytellers are certainly competent, but theres nothing here that sets the comic apart from any of the other ensemble superhero books being published today. Inhuman #4 wont offend any readers, but its not likely to excite many either. Read Full Review
Couldn't decipher some of the art. Still can't stomach fire powers from someone named Dante. Meh.

June 10, 2016
I regret not providing blog entries for the better part of two weeks. I have experienced some technical difficulties with my laptop's ability to post entries on the Picabo Angler website, but the problem has been solved by a 14 year old. Truth be told, I also suffered from a bout of laziness, and some increasingly good fishing as of late. I pledge to be as diligent as I am able, which isn't much.
The opening week of this trout season was pretty slow all over Silver Creek, including the Double R Ranch water. Then, we started to see more Blue Winged Olives and Pale Morning Duns on the Ranch, but the fish didn't seem to be feeding at any significant level and the few trout that rose were pretty difficult to hook. Pretty typical for the beginning of the season, but there were a lot of disappointed anglers on Silver Creek because it was the only show in the area due to the off color character of the Big Wood and the great amount of water that the powers that be ran through the Big Lost for irrigation purposes. Consequently, the Brown Drake hatch brought hordes of anglers to the stretch of Silver Creek below Highway 20. The madness is over now but I haven't heard any reports regarding fishing at Point of Rocks or The Willows.
Fishing is on the upswing on the Double R these days. The annual three week monster hatch of Callibaetia mayflies has just started on both sides of The Pond. It begins around 9:00 a.m. provided the wind has died down. I fished it yesterday and ran into fish rising to emerging Callibaetis, followed by duns and spinners. We even experienced "Trash Time" when there were spinners in the air but the bigger trout were cruising around sipping spent Callibaetis spinners and Baetis spinners. I floated the classic Callibaetis Hen Winged Spinner pattern in front of bulging fish landing 5 trout in 45 minutes, including an 18 inch Rainbow. This morning the fish were rising on schedule even though the air temperature was 10 degrees cooler. I suspect that this hatch will reign for attest anther 3 weeks on The Pond and that it will also begin to emerge on the field water. If you are fishing the Pond later in the morning, especially during Trash Time, keep a look out for BWO duns and spinners, about a size 20.
We could be in for some interesting but quieter evening fishing s well, out in the field water. The past several evening there has been an increasing number of rising fish in Beat 7 through 12. On the water I have seen a scattering of PMDs and BWO duns, Callibaetis spinners, White Miller Caddis and a variety of smaller caddis. So, don't forebear from taking an evening "cigar float." Last season I scored well during flights of the White Miller Caddis during the two hours preceding sunset, first by swimming my Pheasant Tail soft hackle, then by drifting my #14 Callibaetis Hatch Matcher.
