The Beforelifeby Franz Wright
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this stunning collection, Franz Wright chronicles the journey back from a place of isolation and wordlessness. After a period when it seemed certain he would never write poetry again, he speaks with bracing clarity about the twilit world that lies between madness and sanity, addiction and recovery. Wright negotiates the precarious transition from illness to health in a state of skeptical rapture, discovering along the way the exhilaration of love--both divine and human--and finding that even the most battered consciousness can be good company.
Whether he is writing about his regret for the abortion of a child, describing the mechanics of slander ("I can just hear them on the telephone and keening all their kissy little knives"), or composing an ironic ode to himself ("To a Blossoming Nut Case"), Wright's poems are exquisitely precise. Charles Simic has characterized him as a poetic miniaturist, whose "secret ambition is to write an epic on the inside of a matchbook cover." Time and again, Wright turns on a dime in a few brief lines, exposing the dark comedy and poignancy of his heightened perception.
Here is one of the poems from the collection:
Description of Her Eyes
Two teaspoonfuls,
and my mind goes
everyone can kiss my ass now--
then it's changed,
I change my mind.
Eyes so sad, and infinitely kind.
From the Hardcover edition.
Franz Wright presents a mesmerizing portrait of the addict in recovery in his stunning and exuberant book of poems. In short, powerful lines, Wright describes the seductive legacy of an alcoholic father, the relief of finding other people after a time of hellish isolation, and the twilit world of "purgatory cove" — that in-between space where the spell of addiction and mental illness is still nearly as vivid as the promise of a new life.
About the Author
Franz Wright, the son of the poet James Wright, was born in Vienna in 1953 and grew up in the Northwest, the Midwest, and northern California. His most recent works include Ill Lit: Selected & New Poems and an expanded edition of translations entitled The Unknown Rilke. He has been the recipient of two National Endowment for the Arts grants, a Whiting Fellowship, and the PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry, among other honors. He lives in Waltham, Massachusetts, with his wife, Elizabeth.

If you love Glee, you will love this warm, witty musical number- packed book!
Nate Foster has big dreams. His whole life, he's wanted to star in a Broadway show. (Heck, he'd settle for seeing a Broadway show.) But how is Nate supposed to make his dreams come true when he's stuck in Jankburg, Pennsylvania, where no one (except his best pal Libby) appreciates a good show tune? With Libby's help, Nate plans a daring overnight escape to New York. There's an open casting call for E.T.: The Musical, and Nate knows this could be the difference between small-town blues and big-time stardom.


text: With gifts come curses; with credit comes blame; with wins come defeats. They are a package deal, and if you are going to own one, accept one, then you have to own and accept the other. Which means there is no celebration without mourning, and there is no summer without winter, and for some men, for some families, there is too much of both to take in. So they take in none of it, or at least they pretend to take in none of it. They disappear instead into their carefully constructed universes, into the small pockets they might still make as immaculate as miniature golf courses, into their dogged pursuits of the routines and rhythms that blind and deafen them to everything else. They say things like "It could have been worse," and they refuse every last invitation from pity or sentiment, because those are luxuries not given to households half-emptied by terminal disease. Acceptance is their only way out.Chris Jones in "A Long Journey to Spring"

Climbs 315 – Rocktype Limestone – Altitude 260m a.s.l – Faces SW
Crag features
Quick drying and a good year round venue. Popular on sunny evenings. The best routes are on the Main Wall, 23m high, reasonably sound, but often sportingly bolted. Bolts and lower-offs on some routes have recently been replaced by the BMC, but this does not mean that the bolt spacing is comparable to an indoor wall. Best routes are Rain Dance (F6c+), Legal Action (F6c), Run For Your Wife (F6c+), Private Prosecution (F6c+), Litany Against Fear (F6b+), Megalithic Man (F6b+) and Shot Your Bolt (F6b+).
Sectors on either side off the Main Wall, and indeed above it on the Upper Tier, have been developed more recently and tend to be more closely bolted. However the rock tends to be less reliable, and although the BMC has undertaken some stabilization work, care should be exercised. Wearing a helmet is advisable, particularly when belaying. Nonetheless there are good routes to be found in most of the outlying areas - such as Rage (6b) and Excavator(5).
A few trad routes remain - such as Do Android Dream of Electric Sheep (E1 5c).

tube fly tying instructions menu
Tube Fly: Senyo's Tube Sculpin
This is Senyo's Tube Sculpin tied as previewed for Hatches Magazine. Fly Photos for this tutorial are by John Miller. We hope you enjoy this pattern as much as we do. Tutorial by Greg Senyo of Steelhead Alley Outfitters.
Senyo's Olive Tube Sculpin
Step #1: Marry a 1 inch long piece of Eumer large tubing to a 1.5 inch of Eumer Small tubing. Using black 6/0 thread cover the connection joint with several wraps of thread and add a drop of super glue. Wrap toward rear of large tubing leaving roughly a half inch exposed.
Step #2: Tie in an olive marabou plume and 4 to 6 strands of pearl Flash-A-Bou and secure with several wraps of thread.
Step #3: Tie in a 3 inch piece of olive polar chenille and palmer an even body.
Step #4: Add another olive marabou plume and then palmer a collar with a mallard or gadwell feather.
Step #5: Center tie in a small clump of Senyo's Laser dubbing in brown, tan, and olive.(In that order) Make sure the material covers around the tubing evenly, and then brush out the entire head to blend the head colors.
Step #6: Build a small thread head and add a drop of super glue. Slide on a Large Eumer Monster cone tight to the head. Trim the excess tubing leaving enough to mushroom the tubing flush to the cone with a lighter. Note: This style of cone head is not intended to make the fly wiggle or wobble in any way! This style cone is simply used to push water over and around the cone's surface area to create turbulence causing better motion to the wing and body materials of the pattern. The reason I bring this up is that some area tyers who have just recently began tying tube flies believe that it is supposed to give the fly a wiggle type action, and have gone to great lengths to grind and alter these heads without even understanding the Monster cones intended purpose. If you want a great wiggle action to your patterns use a Marc Petitjean Magic cone which slides right on your line and has been used for many years on all types of fly patterns.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
The Global Problem of Obesity
Oct. 22, 2007 -- The obesity epidemic is actually a worldwide pandemic that has global implications for health and disease, new research shows.
In one of the largest studies ever to examine obesity rates across the globe, researchers found that more than 60% of men and 50% of women were either overweight or obese.
They concluded that obesity is a growing problem in all regions of the world, even among traditionally lean Asian populations.
"The study shows that excess body weight is pandemic, with one-half to two-thirds of the overall study population being overweight or obese," researcher Beverley Balkau, PhD, of the French health service INSERM, says in a news release.
Obesity Worldwide
The study involved 69,409 men and 98,750 women from 63 countries across five continents evaluated by their primary care doctors for body weight, height, cardiovascular disease (heart disease or stroke), diabetes, and waist circumference. The U.S. was not included in the study.
Waist circumference is now considered an important marker of obesity-related diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. A waist circumference of more than 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women is considered a risk factor for these diseases.
The people in the study had visited their doctor on one of two specially designated days in which detailed information on weight, height, waist circumference, and disease history were collected for the trial, providing a snapshot of the prevalence of obesity worldwide.
Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from the weight and height measurements. BMI looks at a person's weight in relation to height and is used to determine obesity and overweight. Forty percent of men and 30% of women met the criteria for being overweight, meaning they had a BMI of 25 to 29.9.
Fully a quarter of men and women met the BMI definition of obese (BMI of 30 or greater), but obesity rates did differ by region, ranging from a low of 7% among men and women living in southern and eastern Asian countries to a high of 36% among men and women living in Canada.
Just under one in three men and almost half of the women had waist circumferences of more than 40 and 35, respectively, putting them at higher risk for heart disease and diabetes.
The rate of diagnosed heart disease among male and female study participants was 16% and 13%, respectively. A total of 13% of men and 11% of women had known diabetes.
The men and women in the study with the largest waists were more than twice as likely as those with the smallest waists to have heart disease.
Diabetes risk was three times higher for the quarter of men with the biggest waists and almost six times higher for women, compared with the quarter of the study population with the smallest waists.
The study is published in the latest issue of the American Heart Association (AHA) journal Circulation.

Entrainment (engineering)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See entrainment for other types.
Entrainment as commonly used in various branches of engineering may be defined as the entrapment of one substance by another substance.[1] For example:
- The entrapment of liquid droplets or solid particulates in a flowing gas, as with smoke.
- The entrapment of gas bubbles or solid particulates in a flowing liquid, as with aeration.
- Given two mutually insoluble liquids, the emulsion of droplets of one liquid into the other liquid, as with margarine.
- Given two gases, the entrapment of one gas into the other gas.
- "Air entrainment" - The intentional entrapment of air bubbles into concrete.

Here's some good news (h/t Lileks):
By Kevin Diaz, Star Tribune
WASHINGTON - How many members of Congress does it take to change a light bulb? Americans may soon find out, courtesy of a contrarian piece of legislation introduced this month by Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota
Titled the "Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act," the bill seeks to repeal the nationwide phase-out of conventional light bulbs, the kind that have been used for more than a century -- pretty much since the invention of the incandescent light bulb.
I am thrilled about this! In fact, I just called Rep. Bachman, who not only is smart about lightbulbs but is also a pro-life Republican, and left a message of support. It doesn't matter that I'm not her constituent, I'm still going to thank her for this.
If you recall, I really don't like the idea of mandated florescent bulbs.
Do you want to call Rep. Bachman, too? Here you go: (202) 225-2331.

Starting today, Northwest Airlines flight attendants will greet passengers in their brand-new, freshly pressed Delta uniforms.
The step is the latest outward indication that massive merger between the two companies is proceeding on schedule.
This morning, Northwest employees will also learn first-hand a bit about the Atlanta-based Delta's corporate history as well.
Delta will honor its latest family members with a fragrant nod to the company's principal founder, C.E. Woolman. As veteran Delta flight attendants will recall (back then, the professional term was stewardess), Woolman was an orchid enthusiast, growing the temperamental flowers as a hobby.
Woolman would greet each graduating flight attendant class member by pinning a prized orchid on their lapels as a tribute to their achievement.
Today, Delta will continue the tradition for its newest Northwest employees with either an orchid corsage or boutonnière to wear on their new uniform.
In an accompanying note from Delta CEO Richard Anderson and Northwest CEO Edward Bastian, flight attendants will be informed:
"Delta Colleagues,
As the integration of Delta and Northwest continues, we've already achieved a number of significant milestones. However, none of them demonstrates it better than today's visible sign that the two airlines are now one, with flight attendants, pilots, ticket and gate agents wearing Delta uniforms, presenting a unified look to our customers. The merger of our companies brings together a rich heritage, traditions of excellence and a foundation for a successful future that is the envy of our peers.
Today we honor you, Delta's future, with a bit of Delta history. We believe Mr. Woolman would agree that this is a significant day in our airline's history, so we decided to carry on the tradition and help celebrate with a corsage or boutonnière for each of you. It also is a symbol of Delta's values. One of our core values is to have good relations with our employees and the orchids offer us an opportunity to say welcome and thank you.
Having all of our employees in the same uniform is yet another sign that we're all part of one great airline. "
This being the South and all, Buzz humbly suggests when an Atlanta passenger spots an orchid-adorned employee today, why not welcome them to our fair city?

Glimpsed at Work: Jennifer Bell( Barbara Haddock Taylor, Baltimore Sun photo / July 26, 2013 )
Jennifer Bell, 34, has a "more simplistic, minimalist sense of style with pizzazz and flare thrown in for fun." It works for the social worker at Roland Park Place. Her tiered ombre blouse from Kohl's went well with her black skirt, cardigan, watch and earrings, which were all purchased at Kohl's. Her pendant was from Sears. Her retro style shoes were from Payless. "Keep it simple with a little pizzazz," she said.

Complete Training And Support From Former Social Security Disability Determination Examiners
According to recent Social Security Actuary statistics three out of every five people filing for Social Security disability for the first time last year were denied. What's sad is that half of those who were denied, would of probably been allowed with the right professional help.
As former Social Workers, Social Security Disability Determination Examiners and 25 successful years as disability advocates - our goal for this training continues to be successful because:
· We are providing recognized training at a fair price.
· The opportunity to make up to $6,000.00 per case.
· And the right tools, guidance and support that are necessary for you to help deserving clients be proactive and in control of their disability case before they officially file.
Our Social Security Disability Advocacy Representative Course is based on the training we received to become Certified Social Security Disability Determination Examiners.
Our goal has been, and continues to be, to help bring about change in individuals and society through quality training, service and publications. This will ultimately result in all deserving individuals that need Social Security disability benefits--having access to people, services and publications, that will give them a stronger chance of getting the benefits they deserve, without having to experiencing long delays and unjustified denials.
The ultimate test of any organization is performance. The main difference between The Summit Organization as a nonprofit and similar for-profit companies, is that the quality and content of our training, service and publications is continually audited for excellence by our board members, our clients and our students. Our ability to offer our training, service and publications for less than for-profits is not a reflection of our quality. Being a non-profit allows us to offer the above for less because of grants that help offset our expenses.
Austin Community College, Austin, TX;
Tyler Junior College. Tyler, TX;
National Association of Social Workers;
Florida Rehabilitation Commission;
California Rehabilitation Commission;
Utah Rehabilitation Commission;
The National Association of Legal Assistants.
Probably the best nuts and bolts of our quality, service and publications is having other professional individuals and organizations attest to how we measure up. I am hopeful the above will answer many of those concerns.

George Family Foundation fellow
I stepped out of my yellow cab and shook the hand of my driver, an Iraqi American who has driven NYC cabs for 15 years and proudly told me about his daughter who aspires to be a doctor. It was my first time at Columbia University. I paused to take in the beauty of its iconic library before following a bevy of baby-blue-shirted volunteers to the student center. A young woman met me at the security check-point. She checked my name against a list and then looked up eagerly. "You are a young leader," she said, "Usher is waiting for you on the fifth floor." I'm 29, in my last year of graduate school, and couldn't even name an Usher song (then, not now). So began ServiceNation, an inspirational two-day Summit to celebrate and advance public service at home and abroad.
ServiceNation opened with back-to-back interviews with John McCain and Barack Obama. Prior to the main event a number of luminaries spoke eloquently of public service. Many invoked the wisdom of historical figures. I was especially struck by the presentation of New York Governor David Paterson, who is blind and had memorized his remarks. Paraphrasing Booker T. Washington, the Governor concluded, "if you want to lift yourself up, lift someone else up." Another speaker referenced De Tocqueville, the French scholar who came to America in the 1800s and wrote of the "volunteer associations" that help make America exceptional. These associations are often effective because they happen from the bottom-up.
These comments resonated with my own service in the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya. Eight years ago Kenyan colleagues and I founded a non-profit called Carolina For Kibera (CFK) to use sports as a vehicle to prevent violence and promote leadership and holistic, grassroots development. The key to this service, the primary reason we have been successful as an international NGO, is that the community itself owns and directs it. Some of the poor have figured out for themselves the key elements for solving their problems, but they don't have the material resources to implement them. We need to find more effective ways to empower leaders in disenfranchised communities at home and abroad.
In 2006 Barack Obama came to Kibera and spent time with some CFK youth in our community center. Then he publicly took an HIV/AIDS test with his wife Michelle. This was my first personal glimpse into his leadership and character. Obama is a great listener, not just a great orator. His presence and actions in Kibera helped break down powerful and at times deadly misconceptions about HIV/AIDS. So I was eager to see Obama again in person and to hear more about his concept of "active citizenship." This includes a plan to increase the number of service opportunities for young Americans and to spur new innovations among social entrepreneurs.
Additionally, both candidates called for Ivy League universities such as Columbia to bring back ROTC. During the Vietnam War many of these schools, including Harvard, disbanded their on-campus ROTC programs. As a veteran I was pleased to hear both candidates make these remarks. Many current students at schools like Columbia and Harvard should become leaders in our society. We would be better served if these students had more exposure to, and understanding of, military service. As Obama noted, ROTC and military service is not for everyone. But they need to be understood and appreciated by our future leaders.
Later that evening I visited two high school friends who live near Battery Park. I got out of the cab, looked up, and froze before two gigantic pillars of light soaring into the night sky, illuminating faint clouds drifting by. I imagined the spirits of Americans embodied in those lights as they stretched to the heavens. My chest clenched. Seven years ago to that day I was a Marine Second Lieutenant training in the forests of Quantico, Virginia. We watched 9-11 unfold on small TVs in our barracks. I worried about the same two high school friends who at the time worked near ground zero. They made it out of lower Manhattan and called me that night. I spent the next five years on deployments fighting terrorists and working to enhance security in ten countries around the world.
Part of the problem America has faced since 9-11 is that we have responded to complex problems like terrorism through limited means such as military force. We need all aspects of America's power in order to make a more just and equitable world. One element in the calling of ServiceNation is to commemorate 9-11 through a "Day of Action," a day where Americans pause and spend time helping build communities and promoting tolerance and peace at home and abroad. It is heartening and reassuring to know that this is one proposal to which both candidates agree.

Cincinnati Reds (43-38) at San Diego Padres (35-47), 10:10 p.m. (ET)
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Cincinnati Reds are the hottest team in baseball right now and look to continue their surge Monday in the opener of a three- game series against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.
The Reds have won a season-high five in a row and are 14-4 since June 11. They swept the San Francisco Giants in four games this weekend and posted a 4-0 win Sunday behind a brilliant performance from starting pitcher Homer Bailey.
Bailey had a no-hitter broken up with two outs in the seventh inning and went the distance, scattering three hits, striking out seven and walking one.
"You can talk about a no-hitter all you want. I think the only time you should or can is after the game is completed," Bailey said. "I wasn't really thinking about it other than obnoxious fans who kept yelling at me about it."
Brayan Pena and Skip Schumaker had two hits and an RBI apiece for the Reds.
Cincinnati is 6-1 on its 10-game road trip and has won five straight series. It is 7-1-1 in the last nine series and even with St. Louis at 6 1/2 games off Milwaukee's lead in the NL Central.
The Reds will pin pitching duties on former Padre Mat Latos Monday and he will make his fourth start of the season since coming off the disabled list. Latos won his first game of the year in last Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field with seven innings of one-run ball and five strikeouts.
Latos rebounded from a rough start on June 20 versus Toronto, which reached the right-hander for five runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings. Latos, who needs four K's for 800 in his career, has no record and a 1.38 ERA in two career starts against San Diego. Latos is 12-13 with a 2.99 ERA in 33 career starts at Petco Park.
San Diego's start of a nine-game homestand didn't go as planned, as the club dropped two of three meetings with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Padres managed to salvage the finale of the set with Sunday's 2-1 victory behind another strong start from Odrisamer Despaigne. Despaigne won his second major league appearance by holding the D-backs to one run in 6 2/3 innings.
"He keeps working his way through and is pretty composed with clear thinking," said Padres manager Bud Black. "This guy knows how to pitch."
Huston Street notched his 21st save, while Cameron Maybin and Alexi Amarista were each credited with an RBI for the Padres, who halted a three-game slide and won for the sixth time in 11 tries. They are 16-9 this season in games decided by one run.
San Diego will also entertain San Francisco on this homestand and hopes rookie Jesse Hahn can keep his winning streak intact when he takes the mound Monday. Hahn has won three starts in a row after losing his debut on June 3 and is coming off Tuesday's 7-2 win at the Giants in which he yielded just a pair of runs in six innings.
Hahn is 3-1 with a 2.38 ERA and has lasted at least six innings during his personal winning streak. The right-hander has a 1-1 mark in two home starts.
The Padres defeated the Reds twice in three tries back in mid-May and the two clubs split six meetings a season ago.

While I think I probably could have purchased this for slightly less at a local retailer, I think this is a great little snowboard tuning tool and a good final step on your tune to get your edges perfect and burr-free, and a good first step to remove any rust that's accumulated in the off season or due to improper storage.

I'd agree. I'm 6'0" and about 215, and I needed to get an XL because the L was just way too small in the shoulders. It seems that Special Blends's revolver fit has become slimmer. I previously had a 2008 model jacket, and the large fit fine. I ordered a large (which I had to return) in a current year jacket, and it was so small I could barely zip it up.

We wanted to stay in Madeira Beach area and saw this cute and cozy hotel. The staff was so nice, they even presented us with a bottle of wine for our anniversary, and the room we stayed in had a great view and was clean, cozy and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessities. It was located in such a great place, we didn't even have to use our car. It is close to the board walk, stores and restaurants. Really loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone. Hope to go back again and stay in the same room.

Food Network in Fayetteville Filming!
Check out our photos HERE
The Great Food Truck Race Season 3 is coming to our neck
of the woods! That's right, they will be in Fayetteville to
Make sure to follow us on facebook and twitter for updates!
Look for hashtag #Greatfoodtruckrace for updates on twitter.
About the Show
The Food Network website described last season as;
Amazing chefs across the country are leaving traditional restaurants
behind and hitting the streets in mobile kitchens serving some of the
most unique and delicious dishes ever tasted.
Hosted by Tyler Florence, The Great Food Truck Race returns
for season 2 and features eight gourmet food trucks as they embark
on an epic coast-to-coast culinary road trip to convince Americans
to step outside their culinary comfort zones and try something new.
From out-of-the-box sandwiches, burgers, and tacos to unique
takes on Vietnamese, French, and Cuban cuisines, the trucks
compete in weekly challenges to see who can sell the most food
and race to the next episode while the losing team drives home.
The last truck standing wins $100,000

Fayetteville, Here They Come!
According to one of our facebook friends Maudie Schmitt,
owner of Cafe Rue Orleans, here is the scoop on their visit
to Fayetteville;
9 hours ago near Marche, AR via mobile
Ok so here's the Food Truck scoop... They will be serving
on Dickson St. Tonight after dark. Tomorrow morning at the
farmers market. Afternoon at Evelyn Hills Shopping Center.
Tomorrow night back on Dickson. Try to welcome these
guys whenever you can. This is EPIC for Fayetteville.
Thanks Maudie for the heads up!
What Does This Do for Fayetteville and NWA?
In my very humble opinion, Northwest Arkansas has a
wonderfully vibrant foodie scene.
And Fayetteville has the potential to become the leader of
the pack for this area, giving Little Rock and Fort Smith a
run for their money in regards to diversity and quality.
So to me, this gives Fayetteville some well deserved
attention in the culinary spot light. And talk about a lot of
just plain ole FUN!
As Maudie mentioned, let's make sure to give Food
Network and the participants a big ole NWA welcome!
I will be out Saturday and Sunday reporting on the filming
and goings on, so keep your eyes open for updates.
In addition, I will be uploading hi-res photos to our photo
gallery; http://www.nowthatscookin.com/photos/special-
About Season 3
As most networks are, Food Network is tight lipped about
a show being filmed and in progress. And I do not want to
give you all any spoilers, so here is what I have garnered from
the web so far without any spoilers;
(from Food Network's press release, March 2012)
The Great Food Truck Race's third outing will have more
drama, more twists, more strategy, but most of all, more
dreams. Hosted again by Tyler Florence, this season's not
a competition between current food truck operators - it's
between people who desperately want to be.
Eight teams of hopefuls will have their dream truck handed
to them before they race from city to city trying to prove
they have what it takes to own and operate a successful
food truck, with the winning team will get to keep their
truck and immediately launch their food empire.
(the following info was found at lookingforfoodtrucks.com)
The starting trucks are:
Nonna's Kitchenette, Seoul Sausage, Barbie Babes,
Pop-a-Waffle, Momma's Grizzly Grub, Pizza Mike's
and Coast of Atlanta.

Isle Girls Travel To Braham For Showdown Tonight On Cool Country
A bigtime showdown tonight for girls on the high school hardwood. The #1 team in the state for Class 2A is Braham, and they host Isle tonight in a matchup against the only other team that could realistically compete for the conference title. The Lady Huskies of Isle are 9-1 on the season, and just like the Lady Bombers, are undefeated so far in Great River Conference play.
Isle will have its hands full, however, as Braham's girls come in waves. The Lady Bombers love to press, force turnovers, and get out in transition. Braham is led by one of the most impressive sophomores in the entire state in Becca Dahlman, and also gets sizable contributions from her sister Hannah (a Senior) and Junior Kelsey Sorenson-Griffrow.
Both teams are currently 6-0 in the conference, and this one should be a very hotly contested game. We'll have it for you on 100.9 Cool Country: tip of at 7:30 tonight with Jesse Logan on the call.

Be warned, How I Met Your Mother fans: You may want to have some Kleenex nearby for Monday's episode. "I think it's fair to say that the episode is different than anyone had imagined coming into it," co-creator/co-executive producer Craig Thomas tells TVGuide.com. "It's one of those where while we're shooting it and editing it that you see people tearing up. It's very funny, but it's very emotional too. The very end of the episode seems like it's made a lot of people cry, but it's a good cry." The episode picks up moments after Robin (Cobie Smulders) told Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) that she's pregnant and it is chock-full of more surprises, Thomas says — including, as the logline teases, some "bad news" for Robin. What could that be? Read on to see Thomas' hints about this revelation, why he and Carter Bays wrote the pregnancy, and what's next for the rest of the season.

"It's always fun to play that character, especially with Barney Stinson, who's so beloved. You get to act opposite Neil. He's phenomenal. He raises everybody's game.

Sponsored by BSW. Voiceover, Broadcast, Podcasting, Pro-Audio and New Media Gear is here…
A worthy add to any project or voiceover studio. The Telefunken Copperhead.
The 'UNFLASH' Link, just for our Apple Listeners!
An intimidating name for a silky microphone. …no bite here
A while back, I tried the AK-47 from t-funks R-F-T line and was quite enamored with the sound, style; and yes, admittedly the Telefunken badge it wore.
Makers of a wide selection, the R-F-T line offers an affordable option to own a newly designed Telefunken. As well, the company makes historically accurate reconstructed mics from original plans. If you look into a classic from their Diamond series, be ready to pony up serious cash. History comes with a price. But, back to the Copperhead.
The relatively slim body of the CU-29 is quite attractive, sporting a matte brushed 'coppery' head and trim. A slimline power supply, wood presentation case and cable (mic to power supply) are provided along with a nicely done shock mount.
Inside the Copperhead sits an EF95 NOS tube. Most vacuum tube mics in this price range sport a 12AT7 or 12AX7. Tubes are tricky because there are a myriad of substitutions and designations. After burning the mic in for a few days, I gave it spin. Connected to our voiceover chain, the mic you hear has some (single band) compression and no eq, unless you count the 25hz high-pass which is always in place. A trend I'm seeing is back to smooth, which the Copperhead delivers, without giving up too much 'air'. Let's face it, some mics are just TOO accurate for their own good, unless you enjoy spending your days in an isobooth …or can afford a spring-floor mega dollar recording room. Like me, most of us are probably somewhere in the middle with a nice accurate studio. The Copperhead played very well in Studio1A, even without a noise gate. Note that there are breathes in the recording. In the broadcast chain, we can do a lot with real-time processing, but I wanted you to really hear the microphone – as is.
Of course, the first microphone you hear will be our "Reasonably Priced Microphone". I enjoyed the comparison because after reviewing the contrast, my ears heard something different than during the recording. You'll probably notice that the Copperhead opens up more while remaining mellow and handling the low end very well. But, before I tell you too much about the sound, it's probably better to listen in and let me know what YOU think?

Inspired by Rainy Day.
I have been thinking about this for WEEKS. Finally got it out of my system.
Simple fluff!
'Next time you're bringing your guitar,' he said. I was standing with my back facing the door because I could never figure out the right moment to leave. He decided that, and I let him decide. What he had said was an order, without a doubt, but a soft order. He was shining; there had been no evil in it. There wasn't a single trace of evil in Chris, anyway.
'I want to hear everything and try things out.'
'Try things out,' I repeated. Whatever he meant, it sounded good.
'Will you be back tomorrow?'
Tomorrow was a deviation from our usual schedule. Okay, we had never really made appointments, but it wasn't our usual schedule of every Sunday afternoon. I had come over three times now. I rang Chris's doorbell in the afternoon, walked upstairs (he would be waiting, laughing at me because he always took the elevator) and talked to him for a few hours. I always left before dinner.
'You could also stay for dinner.'
'I have a dinner appointment with friends tomorrow.'
'Oh, I am not your only friend?' he said with a face that was so disappointed I had to laugh.
'You might wish you were, but no, you are not.'
'Then I'm just going to sit here all by myself while you are getting drunk with your stupid friends.'
'You do that.'
'You're mean, you know that?' he chuckled. 'Now get out of here before I get mad, because you won't be welcome anymore.'
He pushed me out the door and I waved to him from the stairs.
'Take the elevator, Jonny, just for once,' he yelled, when I had already disappeared from his sight.
The Sunday that followed, there was a downpour. I only had to walk a short distance, but after a certain time in a rain this heavy, it didn't make any difference. I started to run while trying to protect my guitar, and stepped in a deep puddle. I was almost there, and already late. I thought of Chris's blue eyes. There was no time for taking shelter.
Wet socks are the worst thing in the world. I shivered and ran even faster, jumped on the sidewalk and rang his bell.
It took him longer than usual, and when I looked up to his window impatiently, I caught a glimpse of him as he tried to hold back his laughter and jumped out of sight.
I trudged up the stairs and enjoyed being laughed at.
'Poor you! You look so miserable! I've never seen something more depressing in my life!'
'Why did I bring my guitar again?'
'Quick, get inside!' He grabbed my arm and dragged me into his rooms. 'You must be so cold!'
'Yes, of course.' Actually, he seemed to enjoy this.
'I have dry clothes for you, man.'
'That would be great.'
'Come on.'
I had never been in his bedroom before. It was reasonably tidy, but there were opened books and blank sheets of paper lying around. The curtains hadn't been completely opened yet. He never really got up on Sundays.
He let go of my arm and started to go through his closet.
'I got some things here.' He threw them on his unmade bed, which I could not take my eyes off.
'I'll get you a towel.' He disappeared from the room. I sighed, put my guitar against the wall and looked at what he had laid on the bed for me. It would fit me alright.
Before I knew it he was standing in front of me again.
'Take it off.'
I looked at him dimly. It took so long that he took off my coat himself, and then my shirt. He pulled it over my head and threw it on his bed. I was completely passive when I felt his hands.
He threw the towel in my direction. I dried my face. The rain was clattering on the roof of the building. He handed me a sweater. I put it on. After I didn't move for a while, he decided to leave for a moment. Before I realized I would make his bed all wet, I had already fallen on it, my face hidden in my hands.
Some time later I walked into his living room/kitchen on his socks, holding my guitar. He grinned. 'That's a lot better.'
'What should I play?' I asked, sitting down on the couch facing him. I was feeling insecure, but tried not to show it.
I couldn't do anything with that answer. 'In what order?'
'The order in which you learned them.'
It took me some thought, but eventually I remembered. I started to play some chords, and he looked at me for so long I started to stare at the floor instead. I couldn't see him, but I could sense he was feeling the same way. But it changed with every snare I touched. He came to sit beside me after 4 songs, and laid his head to my shoulder after 6.
There were so many things I wanted to do, but I had to play.
'I'm going to start cooking now,' he said near my ear.
'Will you play on?'
As if I had dared stop. I went on and on. I heard him cut things, bake things, serve things, on my soundtrack. I only stopped when he pointed out my dinner was getting cold. Hunger was absent. But what he had made for me tasted great. We had to take a few drinks, wine in this case, to loosen up a bit. He sang along with the songs I played. I felt we were stuck in isolation, a place where only we existed, like a cloud we were both sitting on.
He sat next to me when I moved to the floor because it made playing easier. It took hours, but the rain never stopped.
In the end, I put my guitar on the couch and lied down on the carpet.
'That really is all I know.'
He lied down beside me as if it was a normal thing to do, and looked at the ceiling like me. 'You know a lot.'
I turned to face him. My face was warm and my nerves had disappeared. 'Was it enough for you?'
'It certainly was enough for me.'
I didn't want to wait any more.
'So, is my sweater warm?' he asked when he leaned over me.
'Or do you want a different one?'
I put my hands on his shoulders and kissed his lips. He smiled.
'Slow down, Jonny Buckland.'
I froze, but he didn't stop smiling. 'Slow down.'
We were rolling on the carpet a few minutes later, horsing around, half fighting. We talked. He seemed to smile more often than before. We grew tired of fighting and took a break, until we started again. I didn't leave him that night. We eventually moved to his bed. It must have been past twelve when we did.
Usually I couldn't sleep because of him. Ironically, the moment we were in a bed together, I immediately dozed off. Maybe the presence of Chris in my arms just calmed me down.
We both had to work in the morning, and when his alarm went off, we both groaned and felt extremely tired the rest of the day. When I left his apartment, wearing a new set of his clothes, ready to spend another day at work, he didn't want to let go of my hand. He followed me all the way to the front door.
'I'm going to be late.'
'Come back when you're done!'
'That's alright, but I have to go now.'
'As soon as you're done.'
'Stop giving me orders, Chris.'
'Okay. I'll see you.'
He let go of my hand. I walked through the sunlight. It made him look small.

Traits of Highly Sensitive People
It is important for HSPs to understand that their unique biology is the basis for their trait.
Physical Traits Of Highly Sensitive People
HSPs can have sensitivities to loud noises, bright lights, too much television, and sometimes are sensitive to fabrics.
Sharon Heller, Ph.D. in her 2002 book Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight [1] describes how some have especially serious reactions which she calls sensory defensiveness. The situations creatine sesory defensiveness can include:
- touch from others
- tickling
- loud, sudden or piercing sounds
- constant noise
- bright lights
- constant visual stimulation
- odors
- chemical induced reactions
- reactions to some foods and food textures
- anxiety from sudden and fast movement
- heights
- roller coasters
- crowds.
Predisposition To Health Issues
Highly sensitive people often suffer from stress. Some also have genetic and stress disorders. In general, highly sensitive people need frequent breaks, alone time to recharge and simpler lifestyles to manage more effectively.
These stress challenges can be made worse by a life style that exacerbates them. One of the traits of highly sensitive people is that they are different so that trying to fit in to the dominant highly stimulative culture will only stress the HSP system. Therefore, HSPs must develop an understanding of what they can handle, what limits they need to set for themselves and others, and ways to manage stress.
Emotional and Social Traits of Highly Sensitive
The characteristic of being a highly sensitive person is often inherited - a sensitive nervous system that affects every aspect of the HSPs life.
The sensitive nervous systems of the highly sensitive people mean that they have strong emotions and empathetic natures. HSP intensity can make relationships difficult. Their desire for deep conversation can be uncomfortable to non-HSPs.
There is some evidence that trauma may be a factor in HSP
sensitivities. David Ritchey's H.I.S.S. questionnaire documented the prevalence of
emotional and physical abuse among "anomalously sensitive people" his term for
highly sensitive people. [2] Elaine Aron
warns that HSPs are more affected by a difficult abusive childhood and need to
take special care to heal their wounds.[3] HSPs do not heal that easily from wounds
sustained in a relationship so relationships can be a challenge, and many HSPs
chose to limit their relationships.
In some situations, if an HSP is interacting with someone with very different values, it may not be possible to have a mutually rewarding relationship without too much sacrifice or harm. Although many people are kind and compassionate, boundary issues can be difficult and require creativity to resolve.
Energy Sensitivity and Psychic Traits of Highly Sensitive People
David Ritchey's H.I.S.S. questionnaire also documented the psychic sensitive characteristics of anomalously sensitive people. Many highly sensitive people are very sensitive to all forms of energy: electromagnetic, interpersonal etc. Some have capacities he calls Transpersonal Experiences which fall in three categories:
- transpersonal perceptions: deja vu, synchronicity, telepathy, precognition, psychic dream and clairvoyance
- transpersonal influence: psychic healing, psychokinesis and electrical
- transpersonal manifestation of mind: contact with spirit guides, out-of-body experiences, past-life recall, apparition, mediumistic episode, UFO sighting, near death experience, spirit possessions, and alien contact.[4]
The importance of Introversion's role in ASPness* has to do with creating a sense of independence that buffers one against societal pressures toward conformity."
David Ritchey, The H.I.S.S of the A.S.P.
*ASPness refers to anomalously sensitive person
HSPs and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: Talent Traits of Highly Sensitive People
Highly sensitive people are generally intuitive and introverted so generally fall in the categories of INFJs (counselors), INFPs INTJs (mastermind/system builder) and INTPs(architect). However, approximately 30% of HSPs are extroverted, and may be extroverted intuitives: ENFJs (teacher), ENFPs (champion), ENFJs (field marshal) and ENTPs (inventor).[5]

I love submitting to my sensual Strapon Mistress. She takes on her role as my superior with grace. She is sex. She is control. She is power…
When she walked into the room, my heart skipped a few beats. I knew instantly this woman would take control of me.
She didn't need to give me many orders… I just sort of… automatically submitted to her… I felt an urge to fulfill all of this beautiful creatures' desires.
Since I was a newcomer, I did not live up to the Mistress' expectations…
Not only did this Mistress take complete control over me… she completely stripped me of my masculanity by giving my ass strapon punishment.
After such humiliation strapon treatment, I feel like I've been put in my place. I have gained tremendous respect for this woman, my Mistress. I wish women would have taken control over me much earlier in my life.
I have no more delusions of self worth… I am now ready to submit to every beautiful woman I encounter. You truly are the superior sex. All you have to do is let me know you want me to be your obedient servant, and I shall obey your every command.

The Bugatti Veyron boasts titles such as the fastest production road car ever and the most expensive road car ever. Its 8.0 liter W16 engine is mated to a dual-clutch direct-shift gearbox computer-controlled automatic transmission with seven gear ratios. Its top speed is 253.8 mph. The car is impressive and, plainly said, if anyone denies that then they are just being difficult. Let's give credit where credit is due.
And if anyone still has a hard time believing anything that we have said then you might want to take a look at some of the videos we have provided. National Geographic has revealed a very cool documentary about the Bugatti Veyron supercar. There are four different episodes, each representing different moments in the building of the car. In Episode 1, there is a short history of Bugatti, back story of the Veyron, and the making and testing of the W16 engine. In Episode 2, they explain how the transmission, brakes, and the wing are made, and Episode 3 presents the rest of the wing, the sub-assembly, fuel tank, tires, and the beginning of assembly. Episode 4 illustrates the rest of assembly, road testing at 253MPH, and an outro.
Three more videos after the jump.

Part 3:
Part 4:
