I'll answer sparkymonster's questions today. Note that you're going to get mixed answers, because white people know some obscure everyday shit too, and I am, don't you know it, half.
1. List 5 things which are basic common knowledge in your culture, which people outside are unfamiliar with. This is not about obscurity, but something everyday to you, that others go "bzuh?" at.
a) Sometimes pie crust is made with leaf lard, i.e. pork lard. Yes, in sweet pastries. Yes. Pig.
b) Chinese often quietly practice ancestor worship. More, many of us take it for granted that our older deceased relatives are "with us". This is not thought of as odd or weird in any way.
c) There are a bunch of fruit that Asians/Pacific Rim cultures eat that seem to be unknown to many other cultures. Lychee, longan (bonus: name means "dragon eye"), rambutan, durian (smells like him, tastes like her!), custard apple, etc.
d) You've heard of green tea, mango and ginger ice creams, probably. How about corn, taro root (youtube – ube is a name for taro root), red bean (aka azuki), or sweet potato? Speaking of which, have you ever had warm sweet red bean soup for dessert? How about sweet tofu during your normal dim sum brunch?
e) Speaking of dessert, how about a slice of apple pie, sandwiched between two slices of sharp cheddar, wrapped in pie crust and deep fried? That's good middle-American rib-sticking farm-work mid-morning snack! (the weird part is that I can't find this on Google anywhere!)
2. What was the last book you read that was written by a person who is a different race than you? Do you seek out books written by people of other races? Why? Why not?
Green Arrow – Road to Jericho, by Judd Winick. I don't seek out books written by people of other races. They come to me. In fact, I'm not sure I ever read a book by a half Chinese, half White person before. Know any? Huh. Update: H reminded me that I have in fact read books by Cecilia Tan. It was a long time ago.
3. What did you eat at dinner last night? Would you call it ethnic food? Why?
Fried lamb shank steaks with a vinaigrette, wok-sauteed salad greens with garlic, bread, goat cheese spread. Om nom. All food that is prepared in some way is ethnic. White food is also ethnic. Some foods are also ethnic in that only certain ethnicities eat them. Speaking of that, I think it's really funny how the white folks only just heard about umame (hell, I only just heard about it). Also, MSG? How is it that it doesn't give Asians headaches? Just asking!
4. Has your gender presentation changed over the last 5 years? Has this change/lack of change been a deliberate choice on your part?
Nope, it hasn't changed. Yes, it's been deliberate. Mostly for corporate business reasons. Yes, I am VERY aware of gender-related, sex-related and sexuality-related civil rights issues. Ask me why. I dare you.
5. Do you discuss race and racism in your livejournal/blog or in person? Why have you made that choice?
You bet your ass. Both in blog and in person, though in general not at work except in safe spaces or if someone's being an egregious ass-monkey. Why? Because I have a stake in it. I am here not just for myself, but as I explained earlier this week, because I cannot let the lao, tai tais and ba down.
6. Bonus question. Were you aware of International Blog Against Racism Week? Did you choose to participate in it? Why or why not?
You bet your ass. I have been totally participating in it and having a lot of fun with it. Why? Honestly cuz I keep getting whipped up and I am a wordy son-of-a-bitch. And yes, I think my Mom would take that as a compliment, why?

Talk about forever hot! These A-listers are out to prove that they've only gotten sexier with each passing decade.
Gwyneth Paltrow, 40, was a yoga and Pilates devotee before she started working with trainer Tracy Anderson more than six years ago. Paltrow still trains up to two hours a day, six days a week, doing sculpting moves with light resistance and about 45 minutes of cardio. One favorite multitasking tool is the mini trampoline; it works her lower body while boosting the calorie burn, Anderson says.
Jennifer Aniston, 44, runs and does yoga regularly. "Jennifer knows that yoga is all about core strength," says trainer Mandy Ingber, who has worked with the actress for more than seven years. Try Temple Squats for a stronger butt and core: Stand with feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart, feet turned out, palms in front of chest in prayer position with elbows out to sides. Squat; hold for five breaths, then press into heels, squeezing glutes to stand back up. Do 10 reps. On last squat, gently pulse hips up and down eight times.
Jennifer Lopez, 43, has been using the Tracy Anderson Training Method for about two years. Try this move: Stand facing the back of a chair, holding onto the corners, and lean body forward so elbows are bent. Bring right knee up toward left shoulder, then extend right leg behind you. Repeat. Do 30 to 40 reps. Switch sides.

Climate Change Impacts in New Brunswick: Shifting from Mitigation to Adaptation
The Maritimes have experienced an increasing number of severe weather events over the past years. The most recent, in December 2010, resulted in extensive spring-like flooding of watersheds that have not previously experienced (in written and oral memory) such significant flooding events. Coastal areas had unprecedented damage to the natural and built environment as a result of the weather and associated storm surge. This is a clear we must think about the reality of a changing climate in a different way and must be prepared for any number of impending impacts. The people of the Maritime Provinces are in full-on survival mode now.
The Waterlution Maritime Workshop 2011 will concentrate on how natural and human communities are shifting from mitigation to adaptation (or not) of climate change impacts.
"Shifting from Mitigation to Adaptation" is a two-and-a-half day residential workshop for up and coming leaders in the Maritime region, aged 18-35 years. The program will focus specifically on Southeastern New Brunswick with the goal of building its capacity to effectively manage climate change impacts in the future by developing strong, informed future leaders with a commitment to and passion for healthy and sustainable communities. Through experiential field tours, interactive dialogue sessions, mentoring and visioning exercises, the group will learn about climate change impacts while envisioning adaptation solutions across generations, sectors and cultures.
Don't miss this opportunity to meet local organizations and individuals leading the way in sustainable development, and youth peers who are ready to join you as tomorrow's smart decision makers!
Download the complete invitation for more info, above!
Workshop applications have now closed. If you believe you are a great candidate and would like to attend, please contact the facilitators directly at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com

Please view this image on my website against a dark background to fully appreciate it - http://www.hougaardmalan.com/naukluft-sossusvlei/deadvlei-tree/
I doubt there is a landscape in Southern African that has been photographed as much as the trees of Deadvlei and if something has been photographed that much then I have no desire to photograph it. Despite that, I found myself heading for deadvlei in January of 2011. Gate times at Sesriem aren't exactly accommodating towards photographers. They open 45-60 minutes before sunrise and then you have a 60 minute drive and a 20 minute walk to get to the dead trees...if you adhere to the speed limit within the park that is. If you don't then you can make it in time for first light on the Western Dunes, as we did on this morning. My two travel companions immediately started shooting the iconic trees, while I wandered further into the pan and found these water drainage patterns along the Eastern boundary. There were many patterns that resembled different shapes, but I liked this tree the most for it's symbolism of photographing a tree at deadvlei that no one had photographed before...

A chill is in the air, and it is the perfect time to prepare and serve hot and hearty soups. The aroma fills the kitchen and the steaming soup warms body and soul. I really enjoy looking through Paula's cookbooks or going online and trying new varieties.
Soup can easily be hearty enough for a main course, and I thought it might be fun to explore soup as a course at a dinner party. The type of soup that you serve dictates the type of bowl and spoon served with it. Let's start with a few of the basics of soup etiquette.
Bouillon, Consommés and Broths
These are all very similar because they are light and thin. Bouillon is a concentrated brown stock, and consommé is a clarified double-strength stock. A broth is a clear liquid usually from meat, fish or vegetables.
This cup with saucer is silver with a porcelain insert. It sets an elegant table and
is perfect for clear, light soups or even a small serving of a cream soup.
This covered bouillon and stand are from the same set as the cup and saucer. It belonged to an American family in the Northeast and was made by the Mauser Manufacturing Company at the turn of the century. I really like this covered bowl and have also used it for fruit salads and desserts.
Silver expert Michele Howe of Michele's Antiques, located in Austin, Texas, and Beaver Creek, Colorado, recommends using the size of bowl that suits what you are serving. "If you are serving a soup course during an elegant meal," she says, "then a smaller serving or lighter soup is perfect because it will not fill up your guests before the main course." Howe also advises that your spoon should match your bowl. A hearty soup in a larger bowl requires a larger soupspoon or tablespoon; likewise, a smaller bouillon spoon would complement a small soup cup.
If a hostess serves you one of these clear soups in a two-handled cup, you may use the spoon or lift the cup and drink. Another option is to use the spoon to eat any solids and then pick up the cup to drink the broth. While many consider this proper, a survey conducted by the American Dairy Association Survey on soup etiquette showed that the majority of Americans prefer to use a spoon rather than sip their soup. This may be a good time to wait and watch the hostess!!
Cream Soups
These soups are thickened with cream, butter or egg. Sometimes they may have a vegetable or shellfish base. Be sure to check out Paula's recipes for cream soups like her crab soup and creamy squash soup.
At dinners and luncheons, a hostess may serve cream soup in a handled bowl with stand, a bowl with an underplate or a cream soup cup with plate. Once you pick up the spoon, you should rest it on the underplate between bites and when you are finished.
At most formal dinner parties, a hostess uses soup plates. A soup plate is a wide, shallow bowl with a depth of about 1 1/2 inches. It should always rest on an underplate. The spoon, which you will pick up on the right-hand side of the place setting, should be parked in the bowl between bites. The wide, shallow soup plate will hold it comfortably. In contrast, the two-handled cream soup bowl is too high and small to hold the spoon.
Hearty Soups
Soups such as chili, gumbo, chowder or beef stew are hearty enough to be stand-alone meals. These thick, chunky soups are usually served in a soup-cereal bowl. It should also be presented on an underplate. Soup-cereal bowls are usually narrower and deeper than soup plates. They are more casual and used at informal, everyday meals.
Winter is the perfect time to explore the soup options that are available. And what better place to look than on Paula's website! She has some easy recipes that would be beautiful and delicious for company or your family.
As always, thanks for reading.
Happy New Year,

Seymour the Venus Fly Trap
Venus Fly Trap Quick FactsOrigin: Coastlines of North Carolina
Trap Type: Fast-snapping Active Traps
Favorite Food: Houseflies
Dislikes: Vegetables
Care Level: Medium
Scientific Name: Dionaea muscipula
Seymour the Venus Fly Trap may look scary, but he really makes a great pet. His jaws move super-fast and bite anything that falls inside them. A Venus Fly Trap can eat all kinds of bugs, flies and insects, but you should be safe! Seymour loves children and he is definately not bashful--you can show him off anywhere! Your Venus Fly Trap will make a great bug-catching pet no matter what your age is!
A Venus Fly Trap is one of the most amazing plants in the world. Their jaws-of-death move with lightning fast speed to trap the unlucky bug that lands on one of the plant's sweet pads. Venus Fly Trap leaves have sensors that detect motion inside its mouth. After one is moved, the trap gets poised to snap shut. After a second hit, it snaps shut! This two-hit requirement keeps a venus Fly Trap from closing on water, wind, or a still object such as a leaf.
Yes, Seymour the venus Fly Trap will bite your finger, but it won't hurt, so don't be too scared. The whole family will enjoy having Seymour the Venus Fly Trap around. Once he arrives at your house, you can decorate his cage (the beware of plant sign with bones is always fun), play toys with him (he loves the tasty temptations bugs), and give him a new name! Our Venus Fly Trap Care Instructions and care assessories such as the Dried Flies Food Kit and Spray Mister will help you keep your pet healthy and happy.
Once you come up with his new name and are ready to make him part of the family, come back to MyCarnivore.com and adopt your Venus Fly Trap. You'll get a free adoption certificate you can hang on the wall and access to special owner's only pages filled with pictures, stories, and more.

Each tax season, thousands of people fall victim to scam artists who are only after your personal information.According to the Better Business Bureau, tax time is the perfect time for scam artists."It's a big time for phishing scams," said Carmen Million with the Better Business Bureau. "And this is where people receive calls or they receive e-mails that they're being told is from the IRS and they are requesting personal information."The phishing scam does not just lend itself to tax season."It picks up this time of year, but it's a scam that goes on year-round," said Million.Some scammers might claim to be from the IRS and ask for personal information. The IRS said it will never ask for that information."Not only do they not have time to call consumers, that's just not the way they handle their business," said Million.When looking for a tax preparer, the Better Business Bureau said you should do your homework."You're going to give this person or this preparer your personal financial information, your Social Security number, so you want to make sure you investigate them," said Million.The IRS wants you to report tax scams and scammers.

The First Sina Weibo vs. Twitter Battlefield? Japan.
Twitter is blocked in China. Sina Weibo is working on an English-language version and has other languages in the works. But the first real test of whether Sina Weibo has any potential outside of Chinese-language users should be Japan.
Sina has announced that Japanese firm FindJapan will serve as its partner to introduce Weibo to Japan. FindJapan will act as an agent to help local Japanese companies and public figures verify their accounts, as well as provide maintain a and further maintenance services including translation and posting of contents.
Can Sina Weibo Become the Facebook of China?
"We are going to be the Facebook of China."
I heard this in a single day from three different Sina Weibo employees. They are hell-bent on becoming the Facebook of China, which means total dominance.
Does this make any sense? Can a microblog become a dominant fully fledged SNS?
Why Renren is NOT "The Facebook of China"
Renren is preparing for an IPO today at a $4+ billion dollar valuation–it recently raised its initial share price range upon high investor interest. We can also prepare for a billion articles billing Renren as "The Facebook of China." Here's why that's NOT true.
Why We Are Not in a Tech Bubble
About a few days ago, I had a chance to be on on a China Radio International panel to discuss the question "are we in another tech bubble?" Recent valuations of Internet companies and the rapid growth of Facebook and Twitter have left many asking if we are just repeating the buildup of another dotcom boom like the 90′s.
After some discussion, the panel and myself agreed that yes, we are in another boom period but this may constitute an expansion of the industry rather than a bubble. The other question that may have to wait to be answered is whether these Internet companies like Facebook and Baidu are worth the billions of dollars their share price represent.
RenRen Inc. in 25 Slides
On April 15, 2011 Renren Inc. filed its F-1 for IPO on the NYSE under the ticker RENN. Beijing-based Renren Inc. includes the real-name social network Renren, the games producer Renren Games, and the group-buying site Nuomi.
The initial offering aims to raise $508 to $580 million and values the company at approximately $4.3 billion. Here's what you need to know about Renren Inc. in 25 slides!
MySpace global is a failure amidst a revolving door of management (see analysis) and is currently on the auction block with Tencent among the suitors. But before the dismal MySpace global failure there was the dismal MySpace China failure. As the big rumor is that Facebook has partnered with Baidu to enter China, let's take a retrospective look.
MySpace.cn launched to fanfare in April 2007, with claims that it would be "independent," "localized," and hence "different" from the litany of foreign internet failures in China. Of course this was all false.
Blockbuster Rumor: Facebook Partners with Baidu to Enter China
The internets are ablaze tonight with a blockbuster rumor: Facebook will enter China. "Marbridge Consulting reports: According to a microblog post by Hu Yanping, founder of Beijing-based market research firm Data Center of the China Internet (DCCI), Facebook has signed an official contract with a local Chinese Internet company to build a new social networking website in China. Hu added that the new website would not be integrated with Facebook.com."
PengYou: Tencent's Latest Real Name Social Network
PengYou.com is the newest entry in Tencent's long line of SNS evolutions. In addition to local SNS providers, Facebook should watch out if it ever gains re-entry to China. Tencent's PengYou will be there as a real competitor.
Why Mark Zuckerberg Came to China and Why Facebook Will Not
Facebook has two options should it seek to access the China market: 1) A censored or separate Facebook; 2) Provide free technology to circumvent The Great Firewall. Neither is likely for the foreseeable future. Instead, the likely course is a continuation of the status quo: no Facebook China.
Mark Zuckerberg's China Curiosity
Mark Zuckerberg has now met with Baidu, China Mobile, Sina, and Alibaba as he explores China's unique internet landscape. He has a strong natural curiosity towards China and is coming in with a beginner's mindset: "I'm trying to understand the language, the culture, the mindset – it's just such an important part of the world. How can you connect the whole world if you leave out a billion-six people?"

Having a recognized brand buys you a lot of forgiveness with potential customers. But, regardless of your brand's position, time is money when it comes to online conversion, and homepage design & usability play a big role.
The Rimm-Kaufman Group's Larry Becker writes about a recent study suggesting that:
. . .high growth companies are not evaluating and improving their home page designs in a systematic way. By comparing the home pages of the Fortune 30 against Inc Magazine's fastest growing companies, researchers from Minnesota State University found the Fortune 30 had a usability score over 36% higher than the fast growing companies.
Sure, the brands in question were compared on "best practices" from 2001, but it seems the bigger brands are still beating the smaller guys at the fundamentals.
How has usability–good or bad–changed your opinion of a brand? Let's hear some stories in the comments…
Hey there, Grok– (Belated) thanks for the link! And I'd agree that having a recognized brand can cut a retailer some slack. But..even if that retailer does get that sale despite poor usability, they'll likely still pay a price for irking their customers, perhaps losing a potential repeat order or positive word of mouth.
you can easily build a brand with press releases and logos

Ed Reed on wondering if he'd ever play in a Super Bowl: "I didn't doubt it, I just wondered when and if."
Ed Reed on wondering if he'd ever play in a Super Bowl: "I didn't doubt it, I just wondered when and if."
"I didn't doubt it, I just wondered when and if. I answered that question a couple times in my career. You have to have a special team. Everything has to be clicking, and you've definitely got to want it to get here. Not everyone is fortunate enough to go to a Super Bowl. I'm thankful and grateful. I've been saying that the whole time. To get the invitation to be here and to be in New Orleans, it's even more special. Everyone won't get to a Super Bowl. I know guys who didn't play a down here and went to other teams and made the teams and got Super Bowls. Derrick Martin got two. That's my boy, and I know he's a hard worker and a great player who had an impact on those teams. You've just got to be part of something special and we're glad to have it this year."

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Use Flickr for your desktop slideshow
I've attached a cool program my son wrote originally to fetch a random image from Flickr (Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing) and set it as your desktop background. I thought it was so cool that I added a few new features and thought I'd post it here for feedback.
Here's the content of the readme.txt file:
Flippr Description: Flippr is a SmallBasic program that "flips" the desktop background to a (optionally) random image from Flickr (www.flickr.com). Usage: Flippr [/window] [taglist] /window Show a status window in the upper right corner of the desktop while Flippr is working. tagist One or more Flickr tags to search for separated by spaces. If the tag contains spaces surround it with double quotes. Notes: This program was originally written as a test of Microsoft SmallBasic (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/devlabs/cc950524.aspx) by my 16 year old son following the "Getting Started Guide" included with the product. The program name was his idea -- Flickr/Flippr -- clever... "Hey, Dad. Check this out! Look what I wrote!" I was blown away. He'd never written a line of code in his life and somebody on the internet turned him on to this one day and the next he's writing cool programs. Show it to your kids. I added command line parsing, the status window and created a Windows 7 Task Scheduler XML with an installer script. Oh, and this readme file. Files: Flippr.exe Main executable. Depends on SmallBasicLibrary.dll below. Flippr.sb SmallBasic source code for Flippr.exe Flippr.xml Task Scheduler task for installation with Install.cmd below Install.cmd Task Scheduler install script, edit Flippr.xml per the instructions below and run this to automatically change your desktop background on a schedule. readme.txt this file SmallBasicLibrary.dll SmallBasic runtime DLL, leave in same folder as Flipper.exe Flippr.xml: Hopefully you know something about XML by now. If not, it's just a fancy text file. For those of you that know about XPath just change /Task/Actions/Exec/Command/text() to the full path to Flippr.exe /Task/Actions/Exec/Arguments/text() to the desired command line arguments and /Task/Triggers/CalendarTrigger/Repetition/Interval/text() to the run interval i.e. PT1H is 1 hour, PT10M is 10 minutes, etc. If you're lost at this point read on otherwise just run Install.cmd to install the scheduler task and happy Flippn... Rather than explaining what XML is in detail just do the following to get going: 1) Open Flippr.xml with notepad. 2) Search for "<Interval>" without the quotes. 3) Replace the text between <Interval> and </Interval> with PT1H if you want the desktop wallpaper to flip every hour, PT2H every two hours, PT10M every 10 minutes, PT30M every 30 minutes and so on. 4) Search for "<Command>". 5) Replace the text between <Command> and </Command> with the full path to Flippr.exe. If you move it later you'll have to edit this file again and rerun Install.cmd to update it. 6) Search for "<Arguments>". 7) Replace the text between <Arguments> and </Arguments> with the desired program arguments as documented in the Usage section above. 8) Save the file and run Install.cmd to install the scheduler task.

Since the 1930′s, it has been part of the American psyche and a summer tradition to view the cinema under the stars. It is immortalized in television, film, and stories, as a way for the family to find frugal entertainment and for adolescents to enjoy young love.
Every year as part of our family's summer bucket list, we pack up and head out to the Valley Drive-In in Auburn. This is the largest drive-in in all of Washington State and has been a staple in my life since childhood. I remember days when we'd go early and spend time running around with neighborhood friends at the playgrounds that were located below the movie screens. While those playgrounds are long gone, the rest is still there as if locked in a time warp.
If its been a while since you've been out to the drive-in, now is a prime time to introduce your family to this wonderful rite-of-passage experience. During the dog days of summer (or what little summer the Pacific Northwest has received this year) is a great time to grab kids, stock up on snacks, and head out to catch a show or two! In addition to the movies, there is the classic nostalgic snack bar and a video game arcade.
A trip to the drive-in can be as frugal or as extravagant as one makes it. We generally try to help out the facility and "buy local" by making a kitschy night out of it (as evidenced by Bee's haul of pretzel, blue Slushie, Red Vines, hot dog, and popcorn). In this economy, there is nothing wrong with bringing food and drinks from home as a way to save on the steep markup that the snack bar has (although they do have an unenforced "no outside food or drink" policy). Drive-ins are a dying breed and it is hard to keep them afloat; if you have the means to do so, please consider buying your treats and goodies from inside the cafeteria.
Location: Valley Drive-In
401 49th Street Northeast
Auburn, WA 98002
Phone: 253-854-1250
Website: http://valleydriveins.com/
Hours: Daily*: Doors open at 8 AM; First movie showing starts at Dusk.
Showings: There are 2 movies for every screen. You may not mix & match movies between screens. On Fridays & Saturdays, they will show an encore of the first movie right after the second movie.
Cost: $9/Adults (16-59 years), $6.50/Juniors (12-15 years), $6.50/Seniors (60+ years), $5.50/Children (5-11 years), and FREE/Children under 5.
*This is based on their open season which is generally from May through September but subject to change.
Methods of Payment: Cash, Credit (Visa, Mastercard)
Bathrooms/Changing Areas: They have ample bathrooms for everyone to use (men & women). Do remember that this place is "retro" and so are their bathrooms. For kids who are potty-training they actually have older, smaller toilets which are a hit as they are "just their size". There are also changing stations available.
- Bring cash if you want to make use of the "Cash Only" lane into the theater (which may/may not save you time getting in).
- Make sure you have an AM radio to receive their signal.
- Figure out ahead of time where your antenna is. Most newer cars have them embedded within the body of the car and may be pretty oblivious to you. If you don't do this step, you may be in a world of hurt later when you can't find that it is located inside the A-pillar, along the back window, or a signal box on the roof of your car.
- Bring some electrical, masking, or blue tape in order to connect the signal wires to your antenna.
- Try to arrive before dusk so you're not having to do the above steps in the dark!
- Figure out how to turn on the car without your headlights/parking lights if you have a newer car. It could be something as simple as a switch like European cars or pulling the parking break in Asian cars. You'll need to know this if at any time you plan on starting up the car (to refresh the battery, warm it up, cool it down, defog the windows, etc). Failure to do this might elicit stares or words from other cars if you interrupt the film with your headlights.
- If you have a large SUV or Truck they will limit you to parking in the back rows. A bonus is that if you have the trunk/bed space you may park backwards and watch the movie from the rear of your vehicle.
- Lawn chairs & camp chairs rock for days when the evenings are warm.
- If you decide to sit outside you might want to bring bug spray.
- DO BRING sweaters, blankets, or sleeping bags! Even though it is summer, as soon as the sun goes it gets chilly out.
- Pillows are wonderful to have too! Might as well make it comfy-cozy!
- Have the kiddos dress in their PJs! Not only is it cute and will the kids feel at home but they will generally not be able to make the one film, let alone two, or will end up falling asleep on the way home.
- Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash or left in car. When out, they must be cleaned up after.
- Bring quarters if you'd like to use the arcade.

Barack Obama really liked that video of Mitt Romney's 47% speech.
There are a number of competing theories as to why the GOP lost to Barack Obama so miserably in the 2012 elections. Some have to do with Karl Rove. Others have to do with the Tea Party. Or the insular nature of conservative media. Or a poorly run campaign. Or a complete failure to recognize that getting people to vote is a key element of an election. Also, there was Mitt Romney.
One thing that the GOP can't ignore, but probably will, was it's inability to effectively court what are known as "low-information voters," people who like to vote, but would prefer to get their political news from reality television and Internet memes. I love these voters. They are my people. And while they may not be heavy researchers, the electoral landscape is such that they have considerable power. When Mitt Romney was secretly taped saying that 47% of Americans are probably freeloaders who run the government out of money on the backs of rich white people, it didn't go over well with this particular segment of the population, partly because it's insulting, and partly because it came in the context of a less-than-three-minute Internet video they could watch between Gangnam Style parodies.
And Barack Obama knows how lucky that was. Lucky enough to motivate him to hug someone.
Former President Jimmy Carter told CNN host Piers Morgan that President Barack Obama "ran across the room" and embraced James Carter — the former president's grandson — to thank him for the infamous secretly taped "47 percent" video of Mitt Romney.
Obama and James Carter met for the first time last week while the president was in Atlanta.
"When James went to meet President Obama, President Obama ran across the room, embraced him and thanked him profusely for his time, by the way," Carter told Morgan.
James Carter, if you remember, took that video of Mitt Romney so as to exact his revenge on an American public that viewed his grandfather as one of the most useless, damaging and forgettable Presidents in history, save for that one time that he fought off a killer rabbit in the middle of the woods. While the effort did next to nothing to improve the elder Carter's legacy, which exists mostly because Carter was one of the most useless, damaging and forgettable Presidents in history, it did form the basis for the most successful communications overture of Obama's campaign – one even a creepy photo of Jim Messina couldn't undo. Which, I guess, depending on what happens with the economy, could actually save Jimmy Carter's reputation.
So maybe this is a wait-and-see.

TEAMS: Boston Bruins
Most up-and-coming hockey stars spend their first few NHL games playing limited minutes on the third or fourth line. That's not the case for Bruins prospect Ryan Spooner, who will start on Boston's first line tonight in just his second big-league appearance. Spooner, the leading scorer for the B's affiliate in Providence, will center between Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton on Tuesday in Winnipeg, filling the spot vacated when David Krejci went down with a leg injury on Sunday. Krejci isn't expected to miss significant time, but Spooner has a shot to prove himself to head coach Claude Julien in the center's absence. To hear from Spooner, Horton and the Bruins boss, check out the video above.

> The Conga Kings
The Conga Kings
Candido Camero
Candido Camero, the Havana-born 80-year old elder statesman of conga, is a living encyclopedia of the history of Cuban music. Born in La Habana's colorful El Cerro neighborhood, Candido has appeared on hundreds of albums, including more than 50 as bandleader. He has worked with almost all of the great jazz masters, including Clark Terry, Dinah Washington, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Mongo Santamaria, Buddy Rich, Dizzy Gillespie, and Tito Puente
Candido's powerful style and technical flair enhance his obvious love for music. He began playing the bongos when he was child, and turned to the congas in 1940. By the time he was in his early teens, he was accomplished enough to work at Havana's legendary Tropicana nightclub and Cuba's leading radio station, CMQ. He came to the United States at age 25 with the fiery rumba dance team Carmen and Rolando and demonstrated an unheard-of conga technique: he kept a steady rhythm with one hand while improvising with the other, thus being the father of coordinated independence in Cuban drumming. This was also the first time anyone had ever played two congas simultaneously. As word of his new technique spread, Candido became in demand for jazz recordings. He also played with the legendary Machito and his Afro-Cuban Band and helped to pioneer the simultaneous use of multiple conga drums, as well as the fusion of Latin rhythms into jazz and mainstream American music.
In 1950, Candido demonstrated an even more spectacular innovation at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem with the Puerto Rican pianist Joe Loco: he performed on three conga drums tuned to specific pitches so that he could play melodies like a pianist. Loco's famous recording of Tea for Two features Candido playing the entire melody on three congas and bongo. Thanks to Dizzy Gillespie's pioneering efforts in integrating congas into jazz bands, Candido performed throughout the 1950s as a featured soloist with the Stan Kenton Orchestra using three congas, a guiro mounted to a conga and a cowbell attached to a bass drum pedal.
On The Conga Kings, Candido collaborates with two other living conga legends, "Patato" Valdes and Giovanni Hidalgo, to create one of the greatest summits Cuban music has ever seen. Recorded in Chesky Records' signature glorious sound, The Conga Kings is a celebratory tribute to the vitality and artistry of Latin jazz.
The Conga Kings will be released by Chesky Records on April 25, 2000. Chesky Records is a world-renowned GRAMMY Award-winning audiophile jazz, adult pop, classical and world label based in New York.
Carlos "Patato" Valdes
For over 50 years, Carlos "Patato" Valdez has demonstrated how a musician can combine technical skill with superb showmanship. His conga playing fuses melody and rhythm, and his understanding of rhythm is rooted in dancing. Patato still dazzles onlookers with his famed dance moves at the age of 74 -- he's the man who gave Brigitte Bardot a mambo lesson in the film And God Created Woman- -- dancing to his own solo in front of the congas, behind them and on top of them, bringing them to sing in voices no other conga player is able to create, luring them to tell tales full of melodies and poignancy. It is Patato's spontaneity and charm that enables him to draw audiences from vastly different backgrounds and cultures into the irresistable Afro-Cuban rhythms which he creates.
Patato came to the United States in 1952 and worked at New York's Tropicana nightclub with Conjunto Casino. In 1954, he said good-bye to his homeland, Cuba and never returned. Patato's first jazz work was with Billy Taylor at Philadelphia's Blue Note jazz club. After that he worked at New York City's Apollo Theater with trumpet player Chip Murray and played on his first jazz recording, Afrodesia, with trumpet player Kenny Durham. Years later Patato formed a group of his own, which he named Afrojazzia.
Although Patato has recorded few albums as a bandleader, he is more influential than almost any other conguero because he invented the tunable conga, a revolutionary step in music history. Before Patato's innovation, the traditional conga consisted of a wooden body with a nailed-on drum skin, which was tuned by holding a candle beneath the skin, but the results of this technique were not very satisfactory, as the tension of the drum skin slackened as soon as the skin cooled down again. It was Patato's idea to fix the skin to a metal ring which, connected at various points with the conga body, could be stretched and loosened with the help of a square box wrench, thus enabling the musician to tune his instrument to specific pitches. Consequently, it was now possible to hit each half step of an octave, initiated by Patato's unique melodic style of employing multiple conga drums and using them as a melody-creating instrument, just as a piano player or a horn player would.
Patato patented this invention, and the company Latin Percussion Inc. began manufactured the instrument. Latin Percussion's "Patato Model" is the top star of their product family, and Patato's conga type is now used by hundreds of groups from Santana to the Rolling Stones, as well as by a lot of well-known congueros, many of whom are his former students.
Since the 1950's, Patato has been among the congueros who are in highest demand in the Latin music and jazz worlds. He has played, toured, and recorded with Miguelito Valdes, Perez Prado, Beny More, Cachao, Tito Puente (who called him "the greatest conguero alive today"), Machito, Herbie Mann, Kenny Dorham, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Dizzy Gillespie and Quincy Jones. Patato also acted in and composed the title song for the television series The Bill Cosby Show. In 1991 he contributed to the movie soundtrack of The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love.
Recently, Patato, along with The Machito Orchestra, Candido Camero, Armando Peraza, Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros and Francisco Aguabella, was chosen by the Smithsonian to participate, in the Mambo and Afro-Cuban Jazz seminar hosted by Musica de las Americas. This series was an unprecedented event that celebrated the long tradition of exchange among the diverse music cultures of the Americas.
On The Conga Kings, Patato collaborates with two other living legends of the conga, Candido and Giovanni Hidalgo, to create one of the greatest summits Cuban music has ever seen. Recorded in Chesky Records' signature glorious sound, The Conga Kings is a celebratory tribute to the vitality and artistry of Latin jazz.
The Conga Kings will be released by Chesky Records on April 25, 2000. Chesky Records is a world-renowned, GRAMMY Award-winning audiophile jazz, adult pop, classical and world label based in New York.
Giovanni Hidalgo
Giovanni Hidalgo was born in 1963 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. By the time he was five years old, he was immersed in the rhythms of Caribbean percussion. His father, Jose "Manengue" Hidalgo, is a celebrated conguero in Puerto Rico to this day, and as a result of this drum-steeped upbringing, Giovanni developed a burning ambition to become a great musician. Giovanni may be younger than his fellow master congueros, "Patato" Valdez and Candido Camero, but a lifetime of prodigiously talented playing has earned him a featured part on Chesky Records' new release, The Conga Kings.
By the time Giovanni was a teenager, he was gigging with bands around Puerto Rico and building a reputation as an extremely talented percussionist. This reputation for innovation and versatility was hard-earned: as a teenager, he walked long distances to many of his gigs with his conga strapped to his back. His love for music was growing, and Hidalgo eventually traveled to Havana, Cuba to study with the father of modern Afro-Cuban percussion, Changuito. Giovanni's unequaled talents soon caught the ears of jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie. For four years, Giovanni traveled the globe with Gillespie's United Nations All-Star Orchestra. Gillespie acted as a mentor to the young conguero, and the world began to witness Giovanni's rhythmic genius.
Since then, Giovanni has performed and recorded with the likes of Tito Puente, Art Blakey, Michel Camilo, Ruben Blades, Peter Gabriel, Carlos Santana, Mickey Hart's Planet Drum ensemble, Bruce Hornsby, Sammy Hagar, Joan Osborne, and Paul Simon. He has also recorded four albums as a bandleader, including the 1997 GRAMMY-Award nominated Hands of Rhythm.
On The Conga Kings, Giovanni collaborates with living legends Patato and Candido to create one of the greatest summits Cuban music has ever seen. Recorded in Chesky Records' signature glorious sound, The Conga Kings is a celebratory tribute to the vitality and artistry of Latin jazz.
The Conga Kings will be released by Chesky Records on April 25, 2000. Chesky Records is a world-renowned GRAMMY Award-winning audiophile jazz, adult pop, classical and world label based in New York.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has signed a four-year contract to remain with the club until June 2019. The announcement was made on the club's Twitter account.
"Wayne has been the best player in England since I put him into the Everton first team in 2003," manager David Moyes said, via a press release from the team. "Since becoming United manager in July last year, I have enjoyed working with him and seeing just how he has developed his incredible talent. With his ability, his experience and his desire to succeed, he is a vital part of my plans for the future and I'm absolutely thrilled he has accepted the challenge.
"I said last July that Wayne has an outstanding chance to be a true legend of this club's long and rich history. He is just 42 goals away from overtaking Sir Bobby our record goalscorer and becoming the first United player to hit 250 goals for the club. These opportunities only come to special players and I'm confident Wayne will set a new record that will take decades to reach."

Anyone had any experience with corrective surgery for poor vision. I am seriously considering this procedure, and would like to know all that I can. I've been wearing glasses since I was about five years old (am now 23), and cannot remember waking up and being able to see, ever. So i think this is something I want to do. Any experiences you guys have, especially the negatives ones, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all!!!

I LOVED my bridesmaids' espresso Vera Wang dresses, and thought they were both sexy and elegant. When you're going long with bridesmaids' gowns, my suggestion is to choose a subtler color - vibrant colors on long dresses can be overwhelming, and you don't want to draw focus from the bride.
So now the question remains - and I'm hoping some of you veteran brides have suggestions here - what should the bridesmaids wear?
Here's the pertinent information:
1) There will be five bridesmaids.
2) Allie wants a shade of purple.
3) Because the wedding gown is so dramatic, she's thinking the bridesmaids' dresses should be long … although she's not opposed to anything.
4) The maids are a bit height challenged (I'm the tallest, and I'm 5'4").
5) She is also not opposed to putting us in different cuts of the same dress/shade that might be more flattering to each of us individually.
6) The wedding itself will take place in a Catholic church, and the reception will be in the very formal University Club of Chicago.
Suggestions? Email me! firstname.lastname@example.com
Oh and … one more bonus question … Britt has decided to have three groomsmen and two grooms … er … maids? What should THEY wear?? Black dresses in the same style as the maids? A different shade of purple? Tuxedos?? Is there protocol here?
Name options (updated following perusal of Popular Baby Names of the 1920s):
Indiana (Indy)
Virgil (from Project X - one of our favorite movies of all time) - new frontrunner
Walter (Nicole Kidman's dog in To Die For - another favorite movie)
Henry (my grandpa's name)
Bernie (thanks, Miki!)

WSAV.com puts you in touch with Ocearch, a Global Shark Tracking Network.
This interactive website allows you to view GPS tracks or 'pings' of Shark locations throughout the world.
Recently, two of the sharks tracked by this service were spotted well off the coast of Hilton Head Island.
According to the Ocearch official website:
"OCEARCH facilitates unprecedented research by supporting leading researchers and institutions seeking to attain groundbreaking data on the biology and health of sharks, in conjunction with basic research on shark life history and migration.
Sharks play a crucial role of maintaining balance in the delicate oceanic ecosystem as they have an effect on all levels in the food web below them. Unfortunately sharks are being slaughtered every day putting the shark at risk for survival. The navigational and migratory data being collected from OCEARCH will be used to support and devise successful conservation and management strategies which will affect policy for global change."

There are many Free Cell Phone GPS Tracking App software applications available on the Internet that claim to effectively track a GPS handset, so that you would be able to know the location of the target cell phone on this earth and the activities done by it. However, far from truth, the freeware tracking apps are bogus software programs which have many bugs and loopholes. Many of them are laced with virus and Trojan worms.
The useful GPS-tracking feature once installed in your cell phone would pick satellite signals intercepted by the target cell phone's Global Positioning Systems (GPS) chip.
Identify the Correct GPS Mobile Tracking Tool – To spot the right GPS locator for mobile handset, make sure you analyse the following points:
• Compatibility factor of the target cell phone as well as your handset — Your handset should accept GPS signals and the target cell phone should have a powerful GPS chip to allow tracking.
• Top useful tracking features of GPS-enabled cell phone locator – A handy tracking tool should specify a cell phone's exact position in latitude and longitude after analysing the geo-fenced areas. The locator should also provide results in:
o Real time
o 3D online moving maps
o Alerts or text messages as soon as the mobile handset leaves a geo-fenced area
• Valid license key – Once you buy a software application you would get a valid license key to download an efficient GPS tracker.
A highly recommended step by step guide would point out the glitches of using a freeware locating tool and help you buy a legal tracking utility instead.
Visit: Free Cell Phone GPS Tracking Apps
Cell phone tracking apps have evloved into powerful mobile phone monitoring tools. If you want to track the exact GPS location of any cell phone all you need to do is download a cell phone tracker app.
You must make sure that the cell phone tracking app is compatible with the phone you want to track. There are Android Tracking Apps, iPhone Tracker Apps, Nokia Tracking Apps and even Samsung Tracking Apps.
