These are tunes I really like to play, said Hagedorn, describing the songs on Solid Liquid. The CD includes compositions by Thelonious Monk, Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus and others. Hagedorn also composed one track for the album, the snake-like Blues 12, which is based on a 12-tone row. In addition, the albums title track was composed by Chris Bates, who plays bass on four of the CDs tunes.
Some highlights of the disc include Hagedorns everything-but-the-kitchen-sink solo over the tricky 13/8 rhythms of Bob Rockwells Pentandria, the fiendishly catchy bass line of Boogie Stop Shuffle by Mingus, and the understated intensity of the Monk standard Ugly Beauty. I like the spacious sound of that tune, said Hagedorn, regarding the Monk piece.
By using a variety of mallets and motor speeds throughout the album, Hagedorn allows listeners to explore the wide expressive range of the vibraphone. One standout track, Touch her soft lips, highlights the instruments romantic capacity in a solo rendition of a tune originally written by William Walton for the 1945 film version of Henry V.
Hagedorn, who conducts the jazz bands and percussion ensemble at St. Olaf, received degrees in percussion performance from the Eastman School of Music and the New England Conservatory. In demand as a professional performer in the Twin Cities area, his talents have been featured on several ensemble recordings, including the Grammy-nominated album The African Game, recorded with the George Russell Living Time Orchestra. Solid Liquid is Hagedorns first solo CD release.
Although Hagedorn is an accomplished performer on a range of percussion instruments, the vibraphone is his favorite. His dedication to the instrument dates back to his youth, when heavy competition for drumming gigs forced him to look for a more unusual instrument. Hagedorn cites vibraphonists Bobby Hutcherson, Milt Jackson, Gary Burton and Mike Mainieri as role models and influences.
Solid Liquid is being released by Artegra, a new Twin Cities label that showcases local performers of jazz, classical and traditional music. Taking advantage of new Super Audio CD recording technology, Solid Liquid features high-resolution surround sound, which is ideal for recreating the subtle variety of sounds the vibraphone can produce. Despite its cutting-edge format, however, the CD is playable on any standard audio device.
Artegras founder Warren Sampson approached Hage-dorn in Fall 2001 about recording a solo CD, and subsequently provided funding while giving Hagedorn artistic control of the project. The album was recorded in August 2002 at Hamline Universitys Sundin Hall in St. Paul.
With the release of Solid Liquid approaching and Artegras emergence as a major player in the local recording scene, Hagedorn believes Minnesota is home to a thriving jazz community. Jazz is really vibrant in the Twin Cities, says Hagedorn, noting the presence of four major jazz clubs which all attract national talent. Theres more interest in live performance today, and people are still interested in experimenting with the different forms [of jazz].
A Solid Liquid CD release event will take place at the Artists Quarter in St. Paul at 9:00 p.m. on Oct. 10 and 11. Hagedorn will perform tunes from Solid Liquid as well as other music on both nights.

A viewer contacted WFXG asking why her Comcast services were still out after last week's devastating ice storm.
"It's 2014," said Markie Nixon. "You shouldn't have to wait eight days to have cable, and Internet, and phone, and burglar alarm. You just shouldn't have to do that."She is downright fuming and said her Comcast service has been down for days, well after her power was turned back on and a power pole near her house replaced.Her Comcast line lays draped across her driveway off Stevens Creek Road, disconnected from the pole."I've wasted so many cell minutes on my phone," Nixon sobbed. "And I can't get anywhere!"Nixon said the estimated resolution date keeps getting pushed back, and said she's getting the run around from local crews.She decided to write on a hand-made sign, begging the cable giant to restore her service."This is major," said Nixon. "They should have been equipped. They knew it was coming. And it's just not acceptable."We reached out to Comcast media relations, and they were shocked to hear Nixon still had no service, while her neighbors did.A representative promised to send someone immediately to begin repair work.
Nixon confirmed to us local crews were at her house 12 minutes after WFXG made a call to Comcast.

Post 16 Holiday Enforcement
Date of News Release: 12/16/2011
(Henderson, KY) --As the Holiday's near, the Kentucky State Police will be in full force to ensure the safety of the motoring public. Post 16 Troopers and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officers will be patrolling all roads and saturating known problematic areas in each of the six counties.
The motoring public should expect to see more troopers and officers on the roads as well as encountering various roadway safety checkpoints. An enhanced amount of road checks will be conducted through the Holiday Season.
KSP utilizes traffic safety checkpoints to promote safety for motorists using the public roadways and to provide a deterrent for those who violate laws contained in the Kentucky Revised Statutes.
The intent of a traffic safety checkpoint is to provide for a high visibility, public safety service, focusing on vehicular equipment deficiencies, confirming appropriate registration and insurance of vehicles and the valid licensing of drivers. Other violations of law and/or other public safety issues that arise will be addressed.
These checkpoints will allow the Kentucky State Police the opportunity to periodically concentrate its efforts in checking for violations of Kentucky traffic and regulatory laws that will ultimately increase the safety of the citizens within the Commonwealth.

Hurricane Sandy strengthened into a Category 2 storm overnight as it began bearing down on southeastern Cuba.
With its track nudged closer to our shores, Hurricane Sandy threatens to rough up South Florida with gusts up to 60 mph and bursts of rain, with the worst conditions to arrive Thursday night and continue through Friday.
"It's not going to hit us head on or anything, but right now the big thing is the wind threat," said meteorologist Chris Duke of the National Weather Service in Miami.
Expect sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph Thursday, with gusts to 50 mph during the day. Winds are expected to increase to 35 to 40 mph at night and through the day on Friday, enough to knock down trees and power lines. If the system continues to shift west, South Florida could be hit with stronger winds and heavier rains, the weather service said.
Palm Beach County public schools will release students three hours early on Thursday, with no after school or evening activities, and all schools will be closed on Friday. Parents should note that students will be dropped off at their bus stops three hours earlier than normal on Thursday.
Broward schools plan to remain open Thursday and Friday - although Broward students will be off on Friday because of an employee planning day.
The Broward School District otherwise canceled all outdoor activities Thursday and Friday, including some of the biggest high school football games of the year.
Around dawn Thursday, Pompano Beach public works officials closed the city's pier to the dismay of about 30 fishermen.
Rich Andrews didn't mind the churning seas. He said it was "good fishing weather."
"There is no consistency. I've seen it a lot worse than this," said the Pompano Beach resident.
By 5 a.m. Thursday, Hurricane Sandy was preparing to move off the northeastern coast of Cuba. The storm was located about 185 miles south of the central Bahamas or about 40 miles east of Holguin, Cuba and moving north at 18 mph with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Overnight, a wind gust of 114 mph was reported in Santiago De Cuba, the hurricane center reported.
Those flying out of South Florida airports over the next few days should check with their airlines. On Thursday morning, about 15 flights from Miami and 10 from Fort Lauderdale were canceled because of the storm.
After intensifying into the season's 10th hurricane on Wednesday, Sandy plowed over Jamaica with howling winds and torrential rains. Local Jamaican organizations reported the island suffered flooding and mudslides, although the extent of the damage was not immediately known.
At least one person was killed in nearby Haiti after being swept away by a rushing river, The Associated Press reported.
Sandy was forecast to arrive in the central Bahamas Thursday. The system then is projected to draw within 200 miles of Miami on Friday morning as a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 75 mph – stronger than previously forecast.
A tropical storm warning that was issued Wednesday for much of Florida's east coast was extended north to Flagler Beach on Thursday morning.
In Central Florida, a lake wind advisory is being put in place for much of the region including the cities of Orlando, Sanford, Kissimmee, St. Cloud and Clermont. East to northeast winds are expected to increase to about 20 mph by late morning with gusts from 30 to 35 mph, according to the weather service.
The winds will make boating conditions hazardous on lakes in Central Florida, the weather service said.
The lake wind advisory will be in effect from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Thursday.

💅 obsessed
I thought I would see what it would look like if I actually painted the hearts on myself, I did this with a thin paint brush using Barry M 72 'Hot Pink'.
Much better than the sticker as as soon as I went in the bath it came off! So least this way my design won't float off in the bath haha.
A xoxo
Here I used 704 'Sweet as sugar' Rimmel nail varnish and then simply added a stick on pink heart. I added clear nail varnish over the top so it was secure.
Hope you like them :) xox

CIATE Caviar Manicure. Absolutely gorgeous.
11/11 Remembrance Sunday.
Today I painted poppies on my nails for Remembrance Sunday, to remember and thank all the solider that died in the war.
I did this by simply painting 3 petal shaped dots in Rimmel Coralious red then with a thin paint brush dotting a black centre, then repeating this several times on each nail.
Hope you like :)

For this years halloween costume I decided to go all out and go as a sugar skull girl, as you can see. My make up, jewels and flowers i tried to keep within the theme of turquoisey blue, so i did the same with my nails :).
As i was covered in spiders and spider webs, i thought i would do a similar design on my nails. Firstly i painted them Maxfactor ocean blue, then added a diagonal stripe of white, so the web would stand out more. Then finally did the web and spider design with a nail art pen from Topshop. Then covered them in a Matte Finish top coat. (See obsession of the week)
Happy hallowen :)
Obsession of the week…
This week I am in love with Rimmel London Pro Matte Top Coat. Makes your nails look like a drawing. Its a must have :)

What We Offer
My name is Rev. Aaron Finley. I'm so glad you've clicked on our website.
I'm the Junior/Senior High Youth Minister, which covers grades 6th - 12th.
I was saved at age 13, when I realized what a sinner I was. As the Bible says in Romans 3:10, "...There is none righteous, no, not one." As I continued to grow physically, I struggled spiritually with my faith. My first two years in high school were rough because of my living independent from God's will. I started attending a wonderful ministry, where I was discipled and encouraged to grow in the grace and knowledge of God. I then answered the call to Bible College, where I met my beautiful wife. Upon graduating, I came to Grace where we have been serving together since 1995. God calls you, not only to a ministry position, but a place of ministry. Dependent living on God through Christ is the only type of living.

Statement on Tiger Mauling at San Francisco Zoo
News of the fatal mauling by a tiger at the San Francisco Zoo has made headlines around the world, igniting a much-needed debate about the future of wild animals in captivity.
"At this time our hearts go out to the victims and their families, but this Christmas tragedy should give us all pause for thought," said Adam Roberts, Senior Vice President of Born Free USA united with Animal Protection Institute, an advocacy group at the forefront of efforts to keep wildlife in the wild.
"There are, of course, many outstanding questions that need to be answered, and we will carefully review the report of the police investigation at the zoo," Roberts continued.
"But this raises many important wider issues. What conservation value does the keeping of thousands of wild tigers in zoos, circuses and by private individuals as 'pets' actually deliver to a species that is facing catastrophic decline in its natural habitat and needs urgent protection in the wild? There are too many species kept unnaturally in captivity — including predators that have attacked people in facilities from coast to coast across America. This is not real conservation."
Born Free USA united with API is calling for a national debate on the efficacy of keeping wild animals in captivity for public display and entertainment. This examination should include:
- an immediate safety review for all facilities, private and public, holding dangerous animals,
- an analysis of the Animal Welfare Act and all state laws to identify animal welfare and human safety deficiencies, and
- a thorough examination of the thousands of licensed animal exhibitors to determine which facilities should be immediately closed down based on substandard animal welfare conditions or heightened risk to human visitors.
"The situation with big cats in captivity is desperate" added Born Free USA Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Nicole Paquette. "Since 1995, there have been more than 100 injuries or deaths to humans from large cats kept in zoos, circuses, or by exotic pet owners ... and these are just the ones we know about, the ones that get reported."
Born Free USA is calling on all levels of government to review their own laws on the issue and introduce legislation in 2008 to address the problem areas.
Zoos often claim that they are educational but, as reported today on Good Morning America, the evidence is unconvincing. Speaking on the show opposite Jack Hanna from the Columbus Zoo, Mr. Roberts cited a recent report from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which found that, despite millions of dollars spent on high profile zoo-based education campaigns, the results were inconclusive as to whether there was any serious educational benefit or not.
"I guess this is the worst kind of wake-up call," concluded Roberts. "We've seen it time and again over the years — that tigers and other wild animals are dangerous and that they simply should not be objects of human entertainment. Born Free USA is inviting concerned citizens to visit our website (www.bornfreeusa.org) and contact us to have their say. For once, let us truly learn from this latest incident and take whatever action is needed to ensure that a tragedy of this kind never happens again."

Losing Sight of the GoalWednesday, April 6th, 2011
For the past two decades, Mothers Against Drunk Driving has — very successfully — engaged in a holy war against drunk driving and underage drinking. Through MADD's political pressures on legislators and judges, the offense has been redirected from one of impairment to one of blood-alcohol levels, penalties have been radically increased, and constitutional rights have been commonly ignored. The offense has been demonized in the public eye to the point that it approaches the status of child molesting, and MADD continues to press for outlawing ever-lower blood-alcohol levels.
First, let's get something clear: drunk driving is dangerous. That's why we have DUI laws — not to punish the use of alcohol, but to punish those who represent a danger behind the wheel and thereby deter that person and others from endangering the public.
The purpose, then, is protection of the public through deterrence of dangerous conduct. It is not to punish people for drinking. If the goal is to protect the public from the dangers of impaired driving, then , why is the focus today solely on alcohol? As I've mentioned in previous posts, numerous studies all indicate that, for example, driving while using a cell phone, distracted driving (eating, putting on lipstick in the read-view mirror) and driving while drowsy are at least as dangerous as drunk driving. See, for example, Drunk Drivers vs Distracted Drivers, Most Dangerous: Drunk, Drowsy or Distracted?, Alcohol vs Cell Phone: Which is More Dangerous? and Inebriated or Texting While Driving – Which is More Dangerous?.Yet we largely ignore these types of life-threatening conduct, while continuing to focus laws and law enforcement on drinking and driving.
Again, I'm not suggesting that we legalize drunk driving; it should be punished. But the hysteria needs to be toned down, and the focus should shift to the danger that impaired driving of any kind represents — not to whether alcohol is involved or not.
Perhaps MADD should concentrate on accident prevention, rather than on a return to prohibition.

Plans are well under way for the 2011 Tennessee Governor's Conference on Tourism, which will be held Oct. 5 – 7 in the "Home of the Blues and the Birthplace of Rock 'n Roll" – Memphis, Tenn. The Tennessee Tourism Roundtable, the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development and our hosts in the City of Memphis are all working hard to ensure that this year's conference is the best ever!
The theme for this year's conference, based on the famous Elvis Presley motto, is "Taking Care of Business," and that's exactly what the Tennessee tourism industry will be doing. Excellent keynote speakers, outstanding educational seminars, updates on the Department of Tourist Development's activities and programs, as well as networking opportunities with other tourism professionals and tourism industry suppliers – all are being designed to help the state's second largest industry grow and prosper.
"We are delighted to be hosting the Governor's Conference in Memphis this year," said Calvin Taylor, vice president of government relations for the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau and current Tennessee Tourism Roundtable chair. "We're going to be pulling out all the stops to showcase our city to our tourism friends from across the state."
That sentiment was echoed by Commissioner Susan Whitaker. "Memphis takes us right to the heart of their city and our industry with the theme "Taking Care of Business," said Commissioner Whitaker. "Memphis will without a doubt roll out the red carpet for our industry this year. This is a must-attend conference for tourism partners."
The Governor's Conference on Tourism is produced by the Tennessee Tourism Roundtable (TTR) in partnership with the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development.
Detailed conference information and online registration is now available on the Tennessee Tourism Roundtable website. A special discounted early-bird registration rate is being offered through Aug. 12.

Is Apple's halo slipping?
Challenges, from inside and out, threaten to thwart the world's most watched company.
By Peter Pham
Apple (AAPL) reported what was for any other company a complete blowout of a quarter, especially when having to write off an entire continent (Europe). During the quarter they made $6.5 billion in net profit for $9.32 per share.
Yet this was considered a huge miss.
Expectations for the company are so high and its margins are so vast that the Wall Street sell-side projections for the business got way ahead of even Apple's guidance. Given that this is the single most covered company in the world, there were a lot of eyes on it.
That said, I think there is a potential storm brewing for Apple. Its brand loyalty, and the halo effect that it casts, have been working very well for the company and are still in place. But the question is: Will it last?
Superior, Not Invincible
Contrary to popular opinion, Apple is not everywhere. Even the richest company in the world has limits. And as cool as its products are, and how revolutionary the iPhone and iPad were and still are, the markets in which it operates are now more mature and the competition has closed the gap in many areas. For all users? No. But for many, the value proposition of an iPhone 4S is not as high as it once was.
China is a major focus for Apple. Tim Cook spent enough time on the earnings call focusing on it. But the force of the low-end price points in that market is just beginning to be felt for everyone there. Baidu's (BIDU) recent gains in the cloud cannot be ignored for it highlights a potential disconnect, or at least ceiling, for Apple's growth in that market. A CNY 1000 Baidu smartphone, running Yi (which is its forked version of Google's (GOOG) Android that has apps, cloud services, and the best search services in China) puts the onus on Apple to justify charging nearly $800 for an iPhone 4S.
Add in the fact that Nokia (NOK) is still prized as a phone manufacturer all over the world, and it is building touch-enabled feature phones that will also compete with Samsung and other companies in that arena. Low-end Lumia 610s sold very well in the second quarter for Nokia. Microsoft (MSFT) and Nokia both plan on Windows Phone 7 level handsets to be around for awhile. Once Windows Phone 8 hits the streets, these phones will move down, becoming the entry-level phones with full access to the Windows/Nokia ecosystem.
Execution, Execution, Innovation?
The real question is one of leadership. In no way am I bearish on Apple as a company. Apple has superior products, excellent control of its supply chain, and command margins other companies can only dream of. It has become the kind of cash cow that Microsoft was in the 1990s. It has pushed Microsoft, frankly, to the position Apple was in when Steve Jobs came back. (Microsoft owns and publishes TechBiz, an MSN Money site.)
As for Microsoft, it has been run by the wrong guy for years. Steve Ballmer is only just now realizing that his company needs to lead, and not follow in Apple and Google's footsteps. If this company is going to survive, it will have to completely open up its old business of selling Office and Windows and be the enabler of change.
Listening to the earnings call, I got the feeling that Tim Cook wants to lead the existing company that Apple is, as opposed to the company that Apple could still become. Complaining that it is too expensive to penetrate India, for example, is a losing position for a company with more than $100 billion at its disposal while Microsoft is building a multi-pronged strategy to connect India's education system and businesses to the cloud.
When Steve Jobs died, a lot of people wondered if Apple would continue to lead the technology revolution, or if it would just optimize what it currently has. Nothing at the latest WWDC suggested the former versus the latter. Apple's ability to execute is, itself, the real threat to Microsoft and Google. The company has no margin for error, just like IBM (IBM) and Apple didn't have any margin for error with OS/2 and the Mac in the '90s. The mighty fall and reinvent themselves. If Microsoft has solved some of its internal culture issues, then things could get very interesting.

Sunwarrior Ormus Supergreen - 1 lb.
Sun Warrior Ormus Supergreen is made from the purest probiotic greens grown on high altitude volcanic rich soil. Their goal at Sunwarrior is to transform the health of the planet one warrior at a time. They started with their award winning raw vegan superfood protein, the ultimate anti-aging protein designed for athletes, body builders, and health enthusiasts who want to lose fat, build muscle mass and be extremely healthy and fit.
Now, they have discovered the highest vibration greens product in the world! Sunwarrior Ormus SuperGreens is grown organically in a pristine ancient sea bed located in a volcanic region of Utah and Arizona. The soil is loaded with platinum, gold, silver and ormus trace minerals that give the greens a magnetic property.
IngredientsOat Grass - They use oat grass in our formula because it picks up the highest amounts of Noble Elements and ormus from the soil. Oat grass is used traditionally to help build sexual stamina. Oat grass (Avena Sativa) has a relaxing and stimulating action that nourishes and strengthens the nervous system. Barley and Wheat Grass- Barley and wheat grass are both loaded with high trace minerals, calcium, iron, all essential amino acids, vitamin C, the flavonoids, and a number of enzymes and minerals. They also contain superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful antioxidant enzyme that protects the cells against toxic free radicals. All the cereal grasses pick up ormus from the soil.
Barley & Wheat Grass - Barley and wheat grass are both loaded with high trace minerals, calcium, iron, all essential amino acids, vitamin C, the flavonoids, and a number of enzymes and minerals. They also contain superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful antioxidant enzyme that protects the cells against toxic free radicals. All the cereal grasses pick up ormus from the soil.Alfalfa - Alfalfa is a plant which sends its roots down twenty to thirty feet into the ground and brings up the minerals that are not available on the surface. For this reason, the Arabic word Alfalfa means "father of plants." Alfalfa is rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that play a vital role in the strength and growth of our bones and in the maintenance of a healthy body. It contains protein and vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K. It also contains calcium, potassium, carotene, iron, and zinc.
Yucca - Yucca are desert plants that are part of the Agave family. We wild craft our own wild Yucca plants in the high desert in a way that promotes growth for the other plants. Yucca extracts may have anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory effects including anti-fungal and anti- protozoal activities. Yucca is also a rich source of phenolics, including resveratrol and a number of other stilbenes (yuccaols A, B, C, D and E). Yucca extracts and its phenolics are also anti-oxidants and free-radical scavengers. Parsley - Parsley is perhaps one of the most commonly used but therapeutically under-rated of herbs. Parsley is very high in bio available vitamin C and is a good source of manganese, calcium and potassium. It also contains flavonoids that act as antioxidants. Parsley is also rich in vitamin A, well-known for its effects on vision, plus can mitigate risks of atherosclerosis and diabetes. Parsley cleanses the blood, dissolves sticky deposits in veins, maintains elasticity of blood vessels, facilitates removal of moderately sized kidney and gallstones, treats deafness and ear infections, and benefits the sexual system. Parsley helps with bad breath and is one of the most important herbs for providing vitamins to the body. It's like an immune-enhancing multi-vitamin and mineral complex in green plant form.
Spinach - Spinach is a rich source of protein, minerals, vitamins, pigments and phytonutrients. Health benefits of spinach are due to presence of vitamins, pigments, phytonutrients and minerals like potassium, manganese, zinc, magnesium, iron and calcium. Spinach is a source of vitamins like folate, niacin, vitamin A, B6, C and traces of the rest of the vitamins. Other important elements, including thiamine and riboflavin, that are used in various reactions in our body are also found in spinach. Spinach is rich in pigments like beta carotene, lutein and xanthene and chlorophyllin etc.
Probiotic Culture - They use a "live active culture" process with part of our cereal greens. This is different from other companies who just mix Probiotics into their greens. Traditional Probiotic foods include: yogurt, kefir, miso, and sauerkrauts and are very good for the body and digestive tract. Science has learned that cultured foods are easy to digest and create life-enhancing nutrients.
Peppermint makes their greens easy to drink and very palatable. Peppermint is also an age-old herbal medicine that has been used to treat a wide range of abdominal woes, from flatulence to stomach cancer to gallbladder disease. Several studies have shown that peppermint seems to be fairly effective at relieving irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a collection of symptoms that includes abdominal cramping and pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Peppermint also has anti-parasitic properties and has been used in folk remedies to get rid of parasites.
Whole Leaf Stevia - We use the whole leaf stevia herb which has been used for centuries in South America to aid diabetics and hypoglycemics. Research has shown that a whole leaf stevia herb has a regulating effect on the pancreas and helps stabilize blood sugar levels. Herbal stevia is therefore useful to people with diabetes, hypoglycemia, and Candidiasis. Other traditional uses of herbal stevia are to lower elevated blood pressure (hypertension), as a digestive aid that also reduces gas and stomach acidity, and for obesity. The herb acts as general tonic which increases energy levels and mental acuity. The stevia herb has also been shown to inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria that cause gum disease and tooth decay, making it an excellent addition for the teeth and gums.
The Legend of Sunwarrior Thousands of years ago there lived a valiant long lived race of immortals called Sunwarriors. The Sunwarriors, through diligence and faith, conquered all darkness, sickness, disease and poverty through the light and power of an ancient mystery path called Agape. Through the Spirit, knowledge, and power of Agape, the Sunwarriors were transformed and transcended by pure light energy. The desire of the Sunwarriors were to elevate the spirit, mind, and body of all living things on this planet and to gain ascension to a higher sphere of existence. Many adhered to their influence and transcended this mortal plane to a higher sphere of being.But then ominous times were ushered in by a ruthless regime of unenlightened beings who spread false propaganda misinformation to the world. This program turned the planet against the Sunwarriors and a dark time was ushered in with much suffering, sickness, disease, poverty and hopelessness. The Sunwarriors saddened, left the planet and were forgotten and remembered no more. But a promise was made that they would return when the planet was near the edge of destruction.So the Gods in their mercy are sending the Sunwarriors back to this planet to finish the job they started millennia ago. But many of the Sunwarriors, coming to this earth, have lost their way and forgotten who they are and what their mission is on this planet. So the Gods set a beacon of light to gather the lost Sunwarriors and guide them back to the knowledge of the ancient way, the way of Agape. Now the time of darkness and ignorance and sickness, and disease is coming to a close and the Sun warriors are gathering, armed with the pure light of truth and the spirit and power of Agape to re-introduce the Sunwarrior Way and path to transcendence and ascension.Enter the Time of the Sunwarrior..
Their Mission Sunwarriors are transformational catalysts accelerating the planet to a new level of ultra health, super intelligence, super abundance, quickened immortality and super longevity. Sunwarriors empower humanity through knowledge, example, teaching and guidance, experience and wisdom resulting in more happiness, more joy, more contentment and more peace and super abundance for all creation. Sunwarriors recognize a God or a higher power that guides us in our unique purpose and mission in fulfilling our role in creating a higher evolution of humanity on this planet.Sunwarriors reduce pollution, pesticides and damage to the earth by producing products that are environmentally friendly. Sunwarrior is the leading manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of super longevity products, superfoods, supplements, and proteins on the planet. Their marketing strategy is value added and holistic. By using videos, music, sound and words in impactful presentations we elevate and uplift humanity.

Well, once again this year, BadJocks was denied press credentials for the Super Bowl (most likely related to an unfortunate childhood incident involving the Packer's Bart Starr and a BB gun) but we were fortunate enough to have the nice folks at Hyundai included us in their pre-Super Bowl hype machine. Who said our loyalty can't be bought?
Seems there is some kind of "compact car conspiracy" going on out there and Hyundai wants you to get to the bottom of it. And, likely, buy one of their fine cars in the process. Here's a little something from the press release for the website www.compactconspiracy.com.
Hyundai's "Snap Out of It" campaign addresses years of consumer complacency towards the compact car segment. Through a series of shorts that parody the history of compact car advertising, Hyundai tells the story of the hypnotized consumer mindset, conditioned to purchase compact cars for practicality and reliability, regardless of their uninspired design and limited innovation. Enter the all-new 2011 Elantra, a no-compromise alternative that finally screams "Snap Out of It".
Personally, the only thing I want my car screaming at me is "Look out for that tree, dumbass!" but that's just me. So, watch the much anticipated commercial below and let us know what you think of it. Basically though, for us, a sheep driving a car is pretty tame compared to the crap we see on the Internet every single day. Now, a sheep driving a tank, pointing a Stinger missile at drugged out Miley Cyrus . . . that would impress us. And we might just root for the sheep for once.

"No one wants a boring bartender."
"Somebody's gotta strike a conversation and I'm that guy. Silence is awkward."
Biga started in the restaurant industry at the ripe age of 13, where he worked with his father, who was a general manager for a restaurant in New York City, at Pricci in Atlanta and currently owns several South American restaurants. Biga started as a dishwasher, then worked as a prep cook before moving to the front of house, where he transitioned into bartending and has remained to stay. Here, he tells his story of what it's like on the other side of the bar.
"I've been at Mi Cocina from the start. I watched my fan base grow and grow. 90% of the bar clientele are my regulars from all around the area; lawyers, pilots and bankers. Seeing and catching up with my regulars has kept me around.
People started requesting me. I've created a relationship with them and now I see them outside of work too.
They come once, then a second time. I'll see them again and remember them. I get invited to their house for dinner or go out for drinks. They're pretty loyal to me. When I'm not working sometimes I'll get texts that say, 'I came to the bar and you weren't there so I left.' I have to tell them I don't work all the time. I need a break.
I'm bad with names though, so it takes a while for names to stick in my head.
Except I didn't forget Kathleen Turner's name. She became a regular of mine and while they were filming Dumb and Dumber 2, and one time she brought over Jeff Daniels.
Some have extraordinary lives, some have been through a lot. I have people spill their heart out to me. You create that relationship with them and its not to be taken for granted.
I hear them out, but I do tell them drinking isn't the best way to deal with the problem. It will just coat the pain until the next day but then the problem is still there.
Bartenders have this fame that we pick up women and I completely disagree. There's a line of respect. I don't try to pick up girls, I let things happen.
Bartending allowed me to get close to my guests. I love joking and talking with them. I keep a good relationship with my guests and that has led to my success."

Raptors' Terrence Ross rules NBA slam dunk contest
Houston, TX, United States (4E Sports) – Toronto Raptors rookie shooting guard Terrence Ross bested some of the league's high flyers to emerge as the new slam dunk king Saturday at Toyota Center.
The 6-6 Ross defeated defending champion Jeremy Evans of the Utah Jazz in the final dunk-off by leaping over Michael Costolo, son of Twitter CEO Dick Costolo before whipping the ball between his legs and hammering home a one-handed dunk.
"I feel blessed, but it's still overwhelming. Just trying to soak it all in," said Ross, who also honored former Raptors star Vince Carter by wearing his jersey to open the final.
Carter won the event in 2000 when he was still with the Raptors.
"I think it was just paying homage to guys who did this before me. DeMar's (DeRozan) helped me a great deal, so I thought I'd kind of take his advice, kind of do something to honor Carter," Ross said.
Ross also bested other participants, including Kenneth Faried of the Denver Nuggets, James White of the New York Knicks, 2007 dunk champion Gerald Green of the Indiana Pacers ad Eric Bledsoe of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Ross had a rocky start in the first round, missing his first three attempts but the judges — including former Rockets stars Hakeem Olajuwon, Yao Ming and Clyde Drexler – gave him a 50 after completing his first dunk.
Luckily for Ross, heavy favorites White and Green were not at their best, giving him the opportunity to reach the final against Evans.
"I didn't think James or Gerald had (nerves). They've been in so many dunk contests, but this is honestly my first big dunk contest. I was nervous, I'm not going to lie," Ross said.
Meanwhile, Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers won the skills competition while last year's rookie of the year Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers bested Matt Bonner of the San Antonio Spurs in the three-point shootout.
Irving hit for 23 points in the final, two points short of the all-time record, topping Bonner's score of 20. Irving nailed 17 of his first 18 attempts in the final.

Jessie J is at her best when she's fierce and triumphant (as she is on her latest single "Wild," that abysmal Big Sean rap verse notwithstanding), and so it's a pleasure to hear her rally up and get aggressive in the snippet for her new song "Hero," taken from the Kick-Ass 2 soundtrack. It's more in the vein of "Do It Like A Dude" than the relaxed vibe of "Price Tag" or inspirational bent of "Who You Are," pounding instrumentation and a big chorus melody.
It's not clear when this track was recorded — whether it was part of the sessions for Jessie's upcoming sophomore LP or something altogether separate — but it's a promising taste of what's to come. Listen below.

This book is wonderful! It has some suspense and keeps the reader wanting more. It combines faith, love, a little romance, a little western and a great plot to really pull the reader in and help them become a part of the story. You can really feel like you're there.

This is, hands down, one of my favorite books. I love the fact that the reader can almost hear echoes in the text of Western novels Enger must have read as a child. Reuben and Swede might as well be Scout and Jem Finch, reincarnated in the 1960's American Midwest, having only switched places as protagonist, and having lost none of their rare spunk.

An eloquent novel of the strength of family, the power of love, and the grace of faith.

I wanted to love this book, given its years of praise, but in the end, I couldn't bring myself to embrace it the way others have. It is well-written with fully three-dimensional characters, but after slogging through its poetic asides and endless metaphors, I felt no closer to these people than I had at the beginning. Nor, as an Agnostic, did I relate to the author's faith-filled worldview, which may have kept me from appreciating this book on a deeper level. It left me with much to think about and discuss with my book group, but it ultimately joins the ranks of books whose cult following eludes me.

Elegant. Movement is spell-binding.
This short video takes you two hundred miles off the coast of Oregon and some 6,600 feet below the water's surface to observe the Dumbo octopus (Grimpoteuthis bathynectes). Little is known about this deep-sea creature, but if this footage doesn't inspire a whole cadre of budding teuthologists, we don't know what will.

Behind the Scenes with Patrick Dempsey and Enchanted
- Monday, November 19, 2007
One of the difficult things with your part is that you were responsible for making the audience accept this crazy, animated princess in real life, to the point where you could believe that someone would fall in love with her in the real world. How difficult was it for you to make the transition from, "I'm meeting this nutcase who is knocking on the door of a billboard" into falling in love with her?
It was a real challenge. From day one, I was thrown off. How do you make this believable? How do you react to it honestly? I would go home and be completely depressed because, 'Am I making this movie work?' I was like, 'Please just get me back to Grey's Anatomy and let me fight with Meredith. I never felt completely comfortable or solid in the role. It always made me feel completely unstable and completely insecure. Amy had her issues, and we would talk to each other and walk each other through these things. You know, when the birds come in. Is it big enough? Or is it too big? It was trying to keep his pain and keep the honesty of that situation, as well as allowing yourself to get caught up in the magic of her, and to find those moments.
Was there a transition moment?
I think the restaurant is the transition moment, when she touches his chest and he goes in and sits down. That's when he falls in love with her.
What do you think about all the references to Disney films?
It's a love letter to all things Disney, and I think that the fact that Disney makes fun of itself is great to see. I think it also changes the myth of the princess story. If you look at it strictly from the male and female energy, the female saves the masculine energy, which I think is a great thing. It's nice to see movies working on that level.
What do you mean?
Well she goes off with his sword and saves him and catches him. The heart saves the masculine. A woman's identity used to be that she got married, she settled down and she had kids. That's no longer true in modern society. You have a career, you get married and then you have kids. How do you find the balance between being a good mother, a good businesswoman and a good wife? I mean, it's much more complicated now. That was what was most interesting to me. And certainly, having a daughter. It changes the whole dynamic of what a princess is anymore.
What are some of your favorite Disney fairy tales?
It's funny. My daughter went through a period of nothing but Peter Pan—every night. Then it was Beauty and the Beast. You go through all of them and you watch them all. And you know, I'm amazed at how dark these movies really are. I mean, they're violent! You have to fast-forward or talk her through it. So I make sure I'm with her. I experience the movie with her in order to give her a sense of what the story is about and why it's there. It's interesting. I like them all. I like Thumper in Bambi, although Bambi is tragic beyond belief. Wasn't it voted one of the top ten saddest movies of all time? So you kind of have to be careful with the Disney movies!
Did your daughter want to be in this movie?
No, no, no. And I wouldn't. No! I hope that doesn't happen. You can start to see it, though. I look and my wife and I go, "Oh, God. Here we go." No. I don't really like children in movies. I think it's a bad place to grow up. So I had my issues with that.
Do you think that there's something about the time that we're in right now that will make people more receptive to the movie?
I think so. I don't want to go see a dark movie right now. I don't think I'd go and see any of the movies that were released this weekend. I think we're too close to be talking about Iraq. Those scars have not been healed, and I don't think people are going to really listen. We're not going to change anything right now. I think we can through a comedy. I think we're going to reach more people that way, at the moment. It's almost like the Depression is upon us, or it's the 1930s or the middle of the war. You want to see screwball comedies or musical numbers. You want to see things that are going to make you escape reality for an hour and a half.

"This graduation announcement is simple elegance. The final product was very pretty. I am very happy. I would recommend the shiny finish over the matte. I ordered the matte on a previous product and the shiny finish is much more appealing."
"I've purchased graduation announcements before from Tiny Prints. . The quality of paper and printed photos is excellent. I have no complaints.. Received the order very quickly. Everyone loved the announcement. My sister saw my son's card and decided to order announcements for her graduating senior as well. Website easy to use. Great experience."
"This product was perfect! Everyone has loved the design, color, and layout. It was so creative and different from all of the other graduation announcements I have seen so far this year. I have already told numerous people about the site for those who still have not ordered them because they can get them quickly with quality."
"I was thrilled with our son's college graduation announcement...it turned out perfect, and Tinyprint's design staff helped me every step of the way and had helpful suggestions to guide me to success."
"I had a great picture of my daughter sitting under a beautiful oak tree with the branches outlining the top of the photo, so this card was perfect. The announcements were a very nice weight and the finish on the paper was a little shimmery. I was very happy with the finished product. I just wish I could have put a little more info on it. I tried to add a line of text but was not able too. It may have been operator error."

Perrsonal care products are not only good for you but are actually more effective than their commercially mass-produced chemical laden counterparts. Safer and HealthierWhy are people consuming more natural and organic foods? Clearly, the absence of unnecessary chemicals and pesticides in the food and drinks we ingest make them safer and healthier for us. The use of natural and organic personal care products is just as, if not more important than, consuming natural and organic foods. While the body's digestive system is actually designed to filter out impurities, the skin, as the body's largest organ, absorbs 60% of what is put on it, directly into the bloodstream. (SOURCE: GOOD HOUSEKEEPING INSTITUTE) In the United States, the FDA has banned only nine personal care ingredients in the past 67 years, compared with the EU, which has outlawed 450. (SOURCE: ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP) Natural is Effective!Essential oils, for example, primary ingredients in any natural or organic personal care product, are the concentrated, odoriferous derivatives of therapeutic plants produced for their own survival and protection from disease. These precious oils influence the plant's growth and reproduction insuring a long and healthy life. The molecular structure of essential oils is very close to that of the fluids and oils of our skin, accounting for our skin's natural affinity to them. They are readily absorbed and penetrate to the deepest skin layers. Regular use of essential oils in skin care has been proven effective in helping correct problems such as wrinkles, excessive oiliness, dryness, blemishes, and tone. Essential oils have the capacity to promote the elimination of dead cells, regenerate new ones and to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Better for the EnvironmentOrganic farming is safer for the environment. It helps to give back to nature by maintaining and replenishing the soil rather than depleting it. Organic farming is better for all of us in the long run. The use of natural ingredients over cheaper synthetic ingredients eliminates the release of hazardous bi-products released into the environment during the production of synthetic chemicals in laboratories and factories around the globe. KISS MY FACE has been feeding body and soul for over 25 years!Kiss My Face takes great care in utilizing only the most potent and pure botanicals, natural vitamins and minerals. Most Kiss My Face ingredients come from renewable resources that are environmentally sound and many of the herbs are grown or harvested by indigenous peoples, helping them preserve their way of life. All Kiss My Face ingredients are used at optimum levels—no skimping! Think of Kiss My Face products as nourishing food for your face and skin, providing balance for body and soul.

Guam - The 2012 Monster Energy Surf the Basin Surfing and Body
Boarding Contest takes place this Saturday at Boat Basin.
This year's event will have a gender-neutral open surfing for short board,
gender-neutral open long board surfing, men's open body boarding, women's open
body boarding and a gender neutral juniors surfing categories.
Willi Byerly with Guahan Napu told KUAM News, "It will be
from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm with sign up taking place on Friday night from 5:00 pm
to 8:00 pm at the pavilion right next to the Statue of Liberty Park. We are
looking for a good turn out and the weather looks like it's going to provide
some nice waves and hopefully the winds will be kind of off shore and there
should be some sun contrary to what it is now. The categories will be pretty
much all gender neutral. We have short board, long boarding and juniors and
that will all be gender neutral. We don't really know how many women are out
there; we had a meeting earlier this month and nobody showed up. But we are
having body boarding for women and also body boarding for men."
With the help of sponsors like DOCOMO, Fokai Amphibious Division,
the Fishermen's Co-Op local competitors will continue to get a chance to better
their skills and showcase their talent.
Byerly added, "We have good prizes; we have surfboards for
all the surfing categories and new body boards for all the body boarding
categories. We would like to thank Monster for being there for us for the
fourth year in a row. We have all the surf shops; Primo, DNA, Lotus and they
are bringing in Arnett sunglasses, Rip Curl, Da Kine, Tumon Lobster and Grill,
Proa. So we have plenty of good prizes and the cost is $30.00 because we are
now paying our judges to ensure the quality of judging is at the optimum."

The students and the instructor work in the first two or three meetings to agree on an instrumentation for which all students write. Once the instrumentation has been chosen, each student writes a piece for it. The pieces are performed and recorded by professional musicians at the end of the semester. The seminar meetings give the students an opportunity to examine each others' works-in-progress under the tutelage of the instructor. The instructor also provides students with general information on compositional practice and history, as well as specific guidance on the pieces they are composing. Final enrollment is at the discretion of the instructor. 2 credits

Medora, North Dakota
We are located 7 miles into Theodore Roosevelt National Park alongside the Little Missouri River. Peaceful Valley is surrounded by colorful badland
country with wild horses, bison, mule deer,white tail deer, elk, coyote, eagles, and prairie dogs.
In the summer of 2003, we were honored to guide Tweed Roosevelt and friend, Leslie, on our trail rides. Tweed is the great grandson of Theodore Roosevelt. He and Leslie are pictured below with our son Patrick Tangen crossing the Little Missouri River.
"My great grandfather would have loved this ride."
