Arizona Wildcats
Rich Rodriguez calls sideline fight 'embarrassing'
University of Arizona football Rich Rodriguez did not see the fight that took place on his sideline during the team's 49-48 win in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl Saturday.
Punches were thrown by both junior defensive tackle Tevin Hood and freshman linebacker Cody Ippolito late in the first quarter.
Soon after both players were thrown out of the game. By Rodriguez.
"It's embarrassing," Rodriguez told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Monday. "When I saw it afterwards it was embarrassing, and as soon as we found out about it we sent the kids into the locker room and they went home with their parents."
Rodriguez said disagreements between teammates happen throughout the course of a season, but he's never had something like that happen on the sideline during a game.
"That's simply not going to happen," he said. "But it's out of character, certainly, for those guys, and we'll deal with them when we come back (from the winter break)."
What, exactly, will become of them?
"They're going to deal with Coach Rod after the break," Rodriguez said.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I come from a casual guild as well and while we are a happy family and I would never leave them, I have found myself yearning for the Kara days of old. So I have started pugging raids on my server and I can tell you from experience that it can be done!
What I really wanted to comment about, however, was a suggestion. One thing that has really worked on my server was to have a channel that you can use to communicate with people that you pug with and want to pug with again. Then when you are ready to run a pug, you can pull from that channel first. The channel may start small, but it will grow if you are consistant. As a pug-raider, I have two channels that I'm a part of, and it allows me to connect with other people outside my guild who are looking for fellow raiders.
Good luck!
Yes, we do the same. Create a channel with an easy to remember name, but unique. They can /join channelname and it stays joined unless they leave it.
As raid leader, I also keep a friends list of PuGs we like and I use add-on Notes-U-Need to keep notes on who does what and how good they are and if they are wipe-tolerant as we learn new content.
If they are wipe tolerant and we wipe a lot on new content, I will send them gold in the mail and a thank you note after the raid (never before).
Always send them thank you notes.
Ooh, good ideas! I've never had a guild send me thank you notes, but that's okay. :)
The other thing (just occured to me), is that if you don't have a vent or TS channel, you should get one. And it should probably be the one that most people have on your server (on my server, it's Vent).
The reason I say this is that in the past couple weeks since I started really put-raiding, I've noticed that there are two types of pug-raids.
The first is the group that gets together, the leader types out, "Everyone know their jobs? Okay, go!" And then we falter and people drop out and it'll generally be bad.
The second type is the group where you are invited onto their vent server and the leader starts by asking anyone who hasn't done the raid to whisper them so he/she knows how much to explain, then goes over loot rules and is talkative (but calm) throughout the raid. I mean, like explaining what went right and what went wrong and stuff. Like Scott says - treating the raid like a serious raid.
What I'm trying to say is that as a raid-pugger, I can tell immediately what kind of raid it will be by how the leader starts out - and if they are serious enough to set up a vent server for communication, the odds are in their favor. Just another suggestion. ;)
On Proudmoore, we have the Proudmoore Guild Alliance that has attracted many smaller guilds. We share a common channel and have several raiding groups from 10 man easy modes to progressing on 25 man heroics. Its like PuGgging with less chance of a crappy experience (and we all get to know each other).

World Without Rainbows 22Act III - The Grandfather ParadoxPart 4: AllegiancesDinner consisted of quiche lorraine, baked in rosemary flatbread and stuffed with chives and ricotta cheese. Only the faintest scent of garlic crept through, overwhelmed by the aroma of the adjacent honeybread and the chana masala, which was peppered with apple spice, a combination Rarity was afraid would turn out dreadfully mismatched but ended up going quite well together. Finally, a salad of spinach, mushrooms, strawberries, and shaved almonds adorned the side, joined by large goblets of wine. It was one of the most magnificent meals Rarity had ever laid eyes on.And then Rainbow Dash's previous words to her ignited something, and Rarity realized there was one very important question that needed to be asked."Isn't this a bit..." she began, gesturing at the food while trying to find the right word to describe the situation without being too offensive.Across from her, Madame Orange was looking at
World Without Rainbows 20Act III - The Grandfather ParadoxPart 2: PremonitionIf Rarity had any energy left in her, and had the situation been less dire, she would have been humiliated. As it was, however, she was far too focused on survival to care much about appearances. She could feel the rivulets of sweat that had run down her face the day before, only to freeze in the cold night. With the new morning, or whatever accounted for a morning in a land without a sun, they had begun to thaw, leaving a lingering chill as they did so, contrasting sharply with the new lines of sweat already beginning to form. How the temperature changed so drastically with no sun to heat the mountainside, Rarity couldn't even begin to figure out. Perhaps the temperature constantly hung around freezing, dipping above or below, depending on the whims of fate. She saw the Ponyville Light in the distance, hovering above the small town. She wished it would com
A World Without Rainbows 19Act III: The Grandfather ParadoxPart 1: GildaBURAQ ACADEMY FOR PEGASIYEAR 994 OF CELESTIA'S REIGN(6 YEARS BEFORE NIGHTMARE MOON)MOONSIDEGilda the griffin flew over the lawn, examining all of the other students, her plate of asparagus casserole held tightly in her beak. What they were doing wasn't really any of her business, she knew. Besides, most of them were just eating in small groups without talking, which was hardly the kind of thing worth spreading rumors about. Yet Gilda watched anyway. She considered it her job to know what was going on around the school, the good and the bad. Especially the bad, which was a lot more fun.Unfortunately, they were all just eating asparagus. Gilda's stomach turned at the thought, and she wondered if she would have time to hunt before lunch period ended. She would have to be discreet about it, like always, and she couldn't be caught leaving or returning to campus.
World Without Rainbows 23Act III The Grandfather ParadoxPart 5: CrusadeRarity strained as she set the crate down in the cargo bay. They didn't need to pack much for the journey to the pole, but food was still a necessity. Unsurprisingly, it consisted of mostly oranges, but other assorted fruits and vegetables were mixed in as well.At least Twilight wouldn't succumb to scurvy. And speaking of Twilight, Rarity wondered where the unicorn had wandered off too. She had been helping them load up and refuel the Mooncatcher, along with her döppleganger, but she had vanished before they were complete.Taking a quick break from the exertion, Rarity made a quick tour of the accommodations. She still couldn't quite get over how big it was. A pony could get lost in these walls.She finally located Twilight in the spa, sitting on her rump in the middle of the room and staring at the tapestry, frowning. Rarity cautiously called out her friend's name, stirring Twilight from her revere."What are you?
A World Without Rainbows 15Act II - Part 6: Through the Looking GlassSUNSIDERainbow Dash stood at the edge of the cloud, looking down. The sun was rising over Ponyville; swaths of long pale shadows cast Rainbow's surroundings in a shifting mosaic that seemed to reflect her inner thoughts. Everything was changing around her and moving too quickly. She could sense the cloud moving beneath her hooves, a feeling she thought she'd gotten used to long ago. All she wanted was for everything to go away and give her a moment to herself to think.Looking at the trembling yellow pegasus next to her, Rainbow remembered that she wasn't alone. All of her friends were scared, and right now they were counting on her.Or maybe Fluttershy was just being herself, scared of anything that moved and quite a few things that didn't. Living on the ground, she had never quite gotten used to the sensation of walking on moving clouds. Rainbow Dash had once tried
World Without Rainbows 16Act II - Part 7: LoyaltiesTrying her best not to cower in the presence of such a powerful display of savagery, Rainbow Dash wracked her mind for an explanation, any alternative to accepting that the griffin before her was her old friend.Maybe it was just someone else who looked like Gilda. That was excusable, was it? There weren't many griffins in Equestria; nopony could fault her for getting two of them mixed up. A tad racist, perhaps, but plausible.Except that Rainbow knew this wasn't true. The way she limped slightly on her left back leg when she walked, the result of a childhood accident she had refused to explain, and the familiar patterns on her wings, subtle but obvious to anypony who knew her well enough, were both signs told Rainbow that this was Gilda who was standing before them now, caked in Zecora's blood. And even if Rainbow Dash had been blind, she would have recognized the voice: gruff, with a hint of irritabilit
World Without Rainbows 17Act II - Part 8: SingletMoonlight carefully maneuvered down the steep gradient, being careful not to lose her balance. "Come on," she urged the other ponies. "We need to put as much distance between us and Gilda as we can."The underground tunnels had opened up on the unstable cliff-side. The steep plane stretched downward with no obstacles except for the occasional rocky protrusion that looked as if part of the mountain had been wrenched out of place. The terrain changed with every step, from flat stone to mud to gravel, all equally treacherous and all the same dull gray. Above Moonlight, the sky had somehow managed to become darker and more morose. She couldn't tell why. Thick clouds had grouped in the sky, but it wasn't as if they had a sun to mask. The moon, which before had shown brightly, was now no longer visible. Maybe the clouds were hiding the moon, or the Ponyville Light, what
World Without Rainbows 21Act III, Part 3 - AssignmentsFor Applejack, the first few days were a blur.It sounded cliché, but that really was the only way to describe it. The memories, at least the ones she could recall with any sort of clarity, had no starting or ending points, simply fading into one another, occasionally separated by the calm darkness of sleep. Everything was hazy until she tried to focus her eyes, at which point the sudden sharpness of it nearly blinded her. Voices were stretched out and distorted, and she couldn't tell who was speaking to her, other than that the voice was uncannily familiar.Eventually, she began to feel good enough to make sense of what was going on around her. She was lying in a bed in a barren room. Wherever she was, she wasn't in the mountains anymore. Vaguely she recalled her conversation with this world's Fluttershy. The pegasus had mentioned taking her to Sweet Apple Acres, but this di
A World Without Rainbows 13Act II Part 4 The First DivergenceThe moon shone brighter than Twilight had ever seen it before. The stars were a thousand glistening spearpoints in the sky. The thousand wasn't a wild estimate, either. When they had begun appearing she had counted each one, but she knew that would quickly become unfeasible, and she adapted a new strategy. She counted the rate at which she found new stars until that too was impractical. From there she extrapolated."You really think there's a thousand of them?" asked Luna, her stargazing companion."Nine hundred and sixty three, actually. But who's counting?""It sounds like you are," said Luna mischeviously.Twilight quieted, flushed with embarrassment. She didn't understand why she was getting so nervous. Luna's comment wasn't really that humiliating. Everything had been planned out, by the books and with a rigid schedule. Wasn
Allegrezza - Part TwentySunlight finally drifted through the window, it smote the dust that curled and flurried in the new morning breeze, like the blizzards seen in a snowglobe. It crawled its way across the floor as time rolled on, finally alighting upon a pair of ponies asleep on the sofa, and in one-another's embrace.The sun was what raised Octavia from her uncharacteristically late slumber. She shifted herself slightly as she woke, reworking muscles that had lain comfortably unused for the night. Her eyelids flickered open to see the pillow of electric-blue hair she had fallen asleep on that night. The night before came rushing back, Octavia's cheeks lighting up as she recalled some of the events that had...occurred last night. It had perhaps gotten a little bit out of hoof, the worrying part being there was no haze of alcohol to blame this time.She toyed with Vinyl's mane as she shifted slightly into a more comfortable position again behind her. Octavia found herself re-wrapping her forelegs around Vi
World Without Rainbows 24Act III - The Grandfather ParadoxPart 6: Everything ChangesApples.Apples and cabbages and sweet potatoes and corn. The crate in Pumpkin Custard's shed was filled with food, but it wasn't the meager shriveled product of most of their farming. Instead, Rarity was staring at the cream of the literal crop, the small fraction of their food that grew to be virtually unblemished."Why in Equestria is this in your shed?" she asked the stallion. "You better have a really good explanation for this."Custard didn't answer. He knew better than to lie; no fake excuse could possibly be plausible enough to convince Rarity. But remaining silent for just a second was preferable to speaking up and incurring her wrath. And then, when the next second came, he made the same decision. He didn't speak until Rarity asked again, her harsher tone finally forcing his hand. He accepted that there was no way out."Where did

My hairstylist Tammy Kranzo loves the beach, especially in Hawaii. Sometimes, she says, she spends so much time in the water and on the sand that she has no time to wash her hair. What does she do? She sprays a little oil all over her head, combs it out and voila her tresses take on a sun-lit glow.
Your LA Beauty Products Examiner is a slave to hair oils, which she now uses after swimming on the advice of her hairstylist. My beauty cabinet is stocked with Moroccanoil, awapuhi dry styling oil, Maijan Hair Oil Treatment, nectar of the gods and more. I love them all. But now there's a new contender for the hair oil beauty crown. It's Smooth Oil Mist from Los Angeles-based herbalosophy which was love at first app after using it today.
We have a saltwater pool so I plunged in and got my hair wet. Instead of shampooing I took Tammy's advice and sprayed the Smooth Oil Mist all over my head, just lightly, and combed it out. My hair looked like I just went for a profession blow-out. It is soft, silky,very shiny and bouncy.
The company sent me a few other products to sample, and after testing its shampoo, conditioner and now this oil, I think I'm going to love them.
You really need to check them out at www.theherbalosophy.com. You can also learn more secrets of gorgeous hair from the talented Tammy Kranzo, a wizard of color, cuts, styling, Brazilian Blowout, Keratin and gel treatments and more, by calling 818-347-1900.

It sounds like a cry for help to me. "If you don't tie our hands, we will keep stealing." Yes, we have a big job ahead straightening out Washington.
This Deem and Pass stuff and Reconciliation need to be tossed out, too. I don't care WHO is in the majority. Majorities change. The Constitution says it takes 60 votes to pass legislation in the Senate. Can someone explain to me how the Senate or House can pass "rules" to supersede the Constitution that was put into place to control THEM? No matter how many years or how much legislation has been passed through unconstitutionally, IT MUST STOP! You either have the votes or you don't. If you don't, you better start talking to the opposition and adopting a more centrist viewpoint. That is the whole point of the 60 votes.

Frances Loehr
My interest in dairy goats started in 1992, early in the morning, at the South Dakota State Fair, in Huron. The entire grounds were quiet, except for the goat barn. Although all of the exhibitors were preparing for their show, they took time to share their goats with a young girl—including milking, leading, showing, discussing CAE and breeds. I liked Alpines because of the color surprise factor at birth. I purchased my first goat the following spring.
In 1993, my younger brother and I started Dawnwind Dairy Goats with two 2 year-old does, one French Alpine from Marianne Sans (Sanstorms) and one Experimental Alpine. We learned lessons quickly about disbudding, Staph infections, and hard kiddings. By the late 1996, we were hand milking up to 11 goats per year, and participating in a few shows, DHIR, and linear appraisal. We reduced the herd to 5 does in 1998, for primarily family milk production.
By 1999, I was ready to rejoin the dairy goat world in showing and production. After some research, we obtained three doe kids from Waiilatpu in 2000, and our new herdsire Olentangy Gene Therapy from Mark Baden in 2001. We started AI-ing at that time, and also involved many 4-H families in our area, resulting in the formation of Lil'Breeze, Kitchigami, and Eclectic Acres herds.
By 2004, including goats from the Kitchigami herd (owned by Laura Haggarty), we were milking 17 does, and hauling 35 animals to fifteen rings' worth of shows. We finished 1*M GCH Waiilatpu WAA Camilla, 1*M GCH Waiilatpu WRAL Prima, 2*M GCH Dawnwind Shocking Magdalena, 2*M GCH Dawnwind Mechanical Minuit, and obtained legs for other milking does, bucks, and dry stock. All of the mature does obtained their *M designation from DHIR, and we were very pleased with our Linear Appraisal scores.
Our herd has since moved from Duluth, Minnesota, to Rapid City, SD, to Laramie, WY, and is now located in Saratoga, Wyoming.
Dawnwind Dairy Goats is focused on breeding Alpine dairy goats that are:
Frances & Chris manage Indian Rocks ranch in Saratoga, WY. Frances has a M.S. degree in Animal Science, specializing in Beef Production and Environment and Natural Resources. Chris has a B.S. in Animal Science from the University of Wyoming, and is a barefoot hoof trimmer. Both Chris and Frances have a solid background in horsemanship and training. Frances is currently enrolled in the Equine Diplomat of Osteopathy program through the Vluggen Institute. They also have a lovely toddling daughter.

Google Makes It Easy For Indie Musicians To Sell Tunes
Along with unveiling its new Music Store, Google also announced today that indie musicians will not be left out in the cold when it comes to selling songs. No, the search giant is also launching the Artist Hub, which will allow artists to sell songs in the Google Music Store and via YouTube.
When artists visit the new Artists Hub (which doesn't seem active yet), they can create a page for a one-time free of $25. This will be what users see when they search for bands in the music store. The presentation mentioned nothing about Google+ Pages — we hope these two pages will be integrated in the future.
The page includes bio, photos, etc, and the artist can upload their music and set prices, as well as how long song previews will be. Artists keep 70% of the revenue and they can release music as often as they like. They can also sell their music on YouTube via the video-sharing site's new Merch Store.
We'll have more on how the store works in the coming days.

We found the site fees to be affordable and look forword to seeing the enthusiastic plans of Andrew and his team for further improvements to the site at Glendale in particlar the much needed Tar-Macing of the roads around the site. We welcome the suggestion of implementing a security entry system to the site. It is pleasing to see such enthusiam from all the management and staff at Glendale and convey our best wishes for the future.
During a recent stay at the holiday park we witnessed the many hours of hard work and obvious dedication of everyone involved with the management and maintanence of Glendale Holiday Park.

I found the new owners to have exciting plans for the Park. The setting is superb with good facilities and I would recommend it to other families without hesitation. In the past, there was little investment here but the new owners explained their plans and I am sure the park wil just get better and better!

i. Young Galaxy - "Pretty Boy"
Somewhere between 2011's joyous "We Have Everything" and the incredible run of singles leading up to this year's Ultramarine, Young Galaxy quietly turned themselves into one of my favourite bands. They paint with broad lyrical strokes that often walk the line between banal and uplifting, spinning simple, high-stakes narratives of primary colour emotion. When I first listened to songs like "Fall For You" and "New Summer" earlier this year, I dismissed them for those very reasons; their lyrics were too bland, Catherine McCandless' voice too brassy, the instrumentals too glossy and lacking subtlety. Essentially, Young Galaxy bored me.
Thankfully, something changed, and it wasn't the music. A few months ago, I started falling for someone, hard, doing things I thought I'd never do and feeling things I thought I'd never feel. The optimism that radiates from within Young Galaxy's best singles was suddenly apparent in my own life, allowing me to connect with their music like I never had before. It's simple, big-hearted stuff, but fuck it, so is attraction, and boy does it ever feel good when it works out. "New Summer" and "Fall For You" grew on me immensely, but it was "Pretty Boy" - the greatest testament to love on an album full of them - that stood above the pack. Its ecstatic synth line was a heartbeat, its magnificent chorus became a personal anthem: "I don't care if the disbelievers don't understand / You're my pretty boy, always." It was that us versus them, adversity-rejecting sentiment that I held tightest during those first few weeks; for once I didn't let personal insecurities hold me back. I let my guard down, I forgot (or kissed goodbye to) stigmas surrounding same-sex teenage relationships and I finally allowed someone else in. That initial high may have been fleeting, but the lingering memory is anything but; "Pretty Boy" sounds like personal triumph, like believing in both the power of emotions and the importance of myself.
Dog Day - "Rome"
Dog Day come about as close as you can get to universally-adored celebrities here in Halifax. They've been around for about a decade now - Fade Out, their fourth album, comes out on December 10 - and after years of putting out some of this city's best music they show no signs of slowing down. Preparing myself for that album's release, I've been listening to a lot of their older stuff recently and, unsurprisingly, I've fallen back in love with much of it.
Concentration, their second and greatest album, was released just as I was really getting into local music and as such carries bagfuls of nostalgic, early-adolescent memories. When I was twelve or thirteen, I would spend my nights binge-reading Halifax-based blogs, hitting repeat on Bandcamp and Myspace pages and dreaming of one day being half as cool as the people in these bands that I admired so much. Though it was being made only fifteen minutes down the road, something about the music felt distant, as if it inhabited a different level of coolness that my suburban existence could never achieve. Of course, that was all an illusion; as I grow closer to becoming the person I so desperately wanted to be five years ago, it's becoming increasingly apparent that the image and lifestyle I idolized as a preteen isn't always as great as it had seemed. That's not to say I was completely misguided - I've discovered even more to love about the local scene as I've gotten more involved, and I'm sure I'd have been thrilled to discover the person I've become - though I do sort of miss that lovely, soft-focus image of Halifax's arts community that I once held.
"Rome," Concentration's beautiful, chiming centrepiece and by far the best song Dog Day have ever made, sounds like those idealized dreams, like feeling simultaneously trapped and inspired by my immediate surroundings. Everything is perfect: the kick-drum opening, the gorgeous guitar playing, the chilly husband-wife vocals; all of it clouded with memories of my past romantic ideals. At twelve years old, Dog Day sounded irreproachably cool, like a distant, unattainable future; now, at seventeen, these songs provide a rare moment of self-actualization, serving as a genuinely touching reminder of how far I've come.
Alvvays - "Adult Diversion"
The jangly, autumnal style of guitar pop played by Toronto's Alvvays has a tendency to fall flat for me. It often seems empty, driven more by image than anything substantial - although, the fact that I'm unimpressed by music of this ilk probably says more about my cynicism than it does about the quality of the music itself. Something about this band, however, just melts every single cold bone in my body. Lead singer Molly Rankin has a fantastic voice, filled with joyful inflections of naiveté and already tinged with a sort of teenage nostalgia that permeates the mix. It sounds like the memories I feel like I should be creating, like careless nights and shared milkshakes and clumsy romance. "Adult Diversion" may only be their second single, but as far as I'm concerned Alvvays are already on the verge of greatness. "If I should fall / Act as though it never happened" is an awkward line on paper - and honestly, it doesn't sound much more poetic on record - but in a way its flaws are kind of endearing. Sure, the track is simple, but in many ways I am too. Often I fear that I think too much about the life I'm living instead of actually living it; it's songs like this that allow me to embrace the simplicity of my adolescence.
Jay Arner - "Don't Remind Me"
"Hi, this is Jay, it's 2013 and this is my artist statement.
I have music playing in my brain all the time. Sometimes something catches my attention and I do my best to follow the melody along and turn it into a song. I can't say what it sounds like to other people, but to me my music sounds like the inside of my head. Claustrophobic but cavernous, no easy resolutions, confabulated music history.
I'm a naturally shy person; I've always submerged my identity in the idea of a band. But I also recognize the value of making myself uncomfortable (personal growth), so I'm shedding the pretense of being anything but myself. I wrote, recorded, and performed all of my first record. The cover is a giant fucking photo of my face and the album is called Jay Arner."
Vancouver's Jay Arner is about to emerge from relative anonymity with his self-titled debut record of 80's-indebted synth pop, out this week on Mint Records. I usually dislike opening posts with quoted press releases, but Arner's - taken from the Mint website - showcases an element of his persona that was crucial in my appreciation of his music. One of the biggest - and, arguably, most deserved - complaint wielded against "throwback" artists like this is that they are apathetic in their approach. They're focused almost exclusively on sonic elements, but good sound, while important, cannot constitute an album alone. My first impressions of this record were probably tainted by this idea that nostalgia and sincerity were almost entirely mutually exclusive; I"m ashamed to admit it, but I was put off by Arner's music because of what I thought it represented.
After reading his artist statement and a listening to the album a few more times, my impressions have changed completely. What had originally seemed pretentious or uninspired - the reverb, the lounge-y bass, the Aloof-Looking-Self-Portrait-as-Album-Cover - now comes across as heartfelt, warm and, above all, genuine. "Don't Remind Me", a gorgeously simple pop song and the strongest track on the album, serves as a microcosm of everything that Arner does so well. Sure, there's definitely an element of nostalgia to the palate that he's using, something some might argue distances the listener from the song itself. But behind the cheesy synthesizers, unnecessary fade-out ending, and slightly muddy production, it still sounds totally sincere. Jay's voice is well-suited to this sort of music; despite layers of effects, he still sounds fully present and emotionally accessible. Perhaps the biggest compliment I can give this album however is that there is no disconnect between Jay the man and Jay the artist. For better or for worse, there is only Jay, the music-loving introvert who has crafted on of 2013's most refreshingly honest recordings.
You can purchase Jay Arner's self-titled album physically through Mint Records or online at Bandcamp, where it is also streaming in its entirety.
The New Pornographers - "High Art, Local News"
My piece about the New Pornographers' "Turn" went over quite earlier this year, so to emerge from the recent drought of posts on this blog (sorry!), I thought I'd share another overlooked gem from my favourite band. "High Art, Local News" might not match "Turn" in its obscurity or its beauty, but it does offer its own set of quirks. The track was included as a bonus on the Japanese and iTunes versions of 2005's Twin Cinema, and while I don't appreciate the idea of anything following "Stacked Crooked" - one the best songs the group's ever written, and surely their best album closer - it is a pretty good little tune. I love the way the guitar riff stumbles about before settling in with the rhythm section, a nod to Kurt Dahle's inestimable importance in grounding Carl's often indecipherable lyrics. Unlike most of Twin Cinema, the hook here is slightly underwhelming, but I suppose that's why it was relegated to bonus track status. In any case, here's three minutes of breezy power pop for a slow Sunday afternoon. I hope you'll enjoy it, and I'll be back here soon.
As an aside, if any of you know where I might be able to pick up a vinyl copy of Twin Cinema, please get in touch! It's one of my favourite records, but it's been out of print for a while and I can't seem to find it used.
Braids - "In Kind"
Raphaelle Standell-Preston is having one hell of a year. She's already put out one great album - Untogether, as one half of Blue Hawaii - and now she's announced Flourish // Perish, the second album from her more rock-leaning project Braids. It's yet to be seen if that album will be as enjoyable as either Untogether or Native Speaker - Braids' 2011 debut - but if this song is any indication, there's reason to be excited. "In Kind" will appear on both Flourish // Perish and an upcoming 12", also featuring the already-released "Amends".
I'll admit that I was underwhelmed by "Amends", which saw Braids abandoning the guitars that characterized Native Speaker in favour of an electronic approach. Having sat with that track for a month, it's definitely grown on me, and its bass-heavy production definitely sets it apart from Blue Hawaii's quieter sounds. Raph's vocal performance was intriguing as always, but I still felt myself yearning for the more organic sounds that made Braids so interesting to me in the first place. "In Kind" is a satisfying - albeit temporary - return to form.
Of course, guitars alone aren't enough to make a fantastic song. Here, they're used as a sort of jittery undercurrent that complements the track's grounded rhythm section. Bass and drums are used expertly; the percussion is diverse and often ornate, yet the band still manages to create a noticeable and welcome groove. On top of all of this sits Raphaelle's marvel of a voice. I don't usually pay much attention to vocal performances themselves - I'm more interested by melody and lyrical content - but here it's too good to ignore. Her lyrics are often hard to understand, let alone decipher, but frankly when a track sounds this fantastic I couldn't care less. Raph's style and phrasing is adventurous but still tasteful - unique both within and outside of Braids' genre, and especially exciting when paired with such a solid instrumental backdrop. It's a rare and dare I say perfect combination.
The In Kind // Amends 12" will be available on June 11, with Flourish // Perish set to follow on August 20. Both can be pre-ordered here.

Foxygen - "San Francisco"
Fresh-faced rock experimentalists Foxygen just dropped a new video for the song "San Francisco", off of their great forthcoming LP We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic. While simpler than I would have expected from the band, the video does a great job of complementing the track's underlying sombre narrative.
Foxygen will release their new record on January 15. Expect a review of the album sometime around that date. Also, the guys have a VEVO page now. I don't even know what to say.
Hey look a new Foxygen video!
Wilco - I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
Although I've heard it described as Wilco's "epic" before – its seven minute running time may commend this distinction – I've always felt that this track lacks a certain confidence that would warrant such a title. "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" is the intense, honest and intimate story of one man's experience with heartbreak. It doesn't provide a universally relatable message or a transcendental musical experience. Instead, frontman Jeff Tweedy explores the dark underbelly of an essential human experience that is far too often chalked up to just roses and romance. This may be a song about love, but it is decidedly not a love song.
The story is built around a noisy backdrop that is as fragile as the protagonist whom it is supporting. Gentle layers of organ and guitar hide behind a piano part that plinks its way throughout the song, sometimes shy and others bright. The instrumentation grows more amelodic with each verse, matching the lyrical progression. Glenn Kotche's drumming is artful, restrained and powerful. Meanwhile, Tweedy paints a poignant portrait of a man pushed to his limits by desire, turning in some of the most emotionally potent lyrics of his career:
"I'd always thought that if I held you tightly / You'd always love me like you did back then / Then I fell asleep and the city kept blinking / What was I thinking when I let you back in? / I am trying to break your heart"
Just as he sings the aching titular refrain, surrounded by dissonant, scraping guitar, a gorgeous and full-bodied chord pulls the song out of its own sadness and drives it towards a more melodic place. This, however, is just a temporary respite; soon enough the band dives back into dissonance, spinning a tasteful and sharp web of sound around distantly shouted lyrics. Pushed to his breaking point by the necessity of intimacy, Tweedy eventually collapses in a mess of noise and feeling. "I'm the man who loves you" he sings, his voice tinged with hints of desperation and loneliness.
I've always been fascinated by this song's opening status on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Originally, I had thought that it would be the perfect way to close an album: a falling apart of sorts, slow and painful. However, I have since realised that there is also something admirable to be found in its current placement. The song is about an ending, but it is also a beginning. On its own, "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" is a tragic and shocking rumination on the destructive powers of love. At the top of an album, however, it is a welcome reminder that every ending, no matter how disastrous, will always be followed by something new.
As I mentioned earlier this week in my Songs of 2012 post, I do not see this list as being in any way comprehensive or perfect. In making it, I didn't take into consideration every record released this year nor did I concern myself with making choices that were too safe or too adventurous….
My favourite albums of the year!
This is the first year that I've ever put together a list such as this one, and before I started I don't think I realised just how difficult it would be. It was quite easy to list most of the songs that I enjoyed this year, however as soon as I began to edit that list down to a manageable…

Metropolitik: Barack Obama guilty of being a politician
Slow news season?
We've officially reached that time in the 2012 presidential campaign when the most interesting story of the day either involves the president being overheard saying something obvious but gaffeish to a Russian head of state, or the release of a mysterious video from failed Republican candidate Herman Cain that includes a rabbit being shot to bits and a creepy girl asking whether anyone is confused.
With nothing substantial to discuss, we therefore succumb instead to the insubstantial.
First up:?Obama and the hot mic. The president was overheard telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev yesterday that he needed "space" and "time" to get to a missile defense system that has been bedeviling relations between the two countries for some time.
"On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it's important for him [Putin] to give me space," Obama said. "This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility."
Many people — overwhelmingly on one side of the aisle, but then, that's the way these things go — are disturbed that a U.S. president would use practical considerations in determining the timing of legislative focus. Some have ratcheted up the rhetoric even higher to allege that Obama is merely waiting for term two to unleash his master plans for America's destruction.
But is anyone really surprised to learn that presidents hold secret discussions with other world leaders, or that they weigh policy goals with political realities? It seems Obama has waded into a similar puddle as a Romney adviser did last week, when he gave voice to another political truism: that politicians tack to the center in a general election. (For what it's worth, we also deemed Etch-a-Sketch-gate unworthy of our attention, and not only because we're sick to tears of the "-gate" construction.)
Oh, and Herman Cain? Yeah, don't worry about him.

Hello Lidia
I'm sorry about your brother and will keep you in my energy work.
Do you know who 'Grace' is? ;)
We are all grace and grace is what we seek
Sanctifying grace stays in the soul. Its what makes the soul holy; it gives the soul supernatural life. More properly, it is supernatural life.
Actual grace, by contrast, is a supernatural push or encouragement. Its transient. It doesnt live in the soul, but acts on the soul from the outside, so to speak. Its a supernatural kick in the pants. It gets the will and intellect moving so we can seek out and keep sanctifying grace.
Okay - so these are not my words but I googled "Who is Grace". I found this and like it.
The souce...www.catholic.com - Funny.
The trees release
a trillion leaves
and Grace is there to catch them.
She makes a bed
and lays her head to rest gently upon them.
Look! And you shall see the leaves swirling and twirling
mystically around her.
Look! And you shall see
Grace be... Grace be among them.

The San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks have been engaged in an incredible defensive battle. This was a game where everyone needs to buckle up their chin straps and it is not for the faint of heart.
49ers safety Eric Reid delivered a brutal hit to Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice over the middle just before the second half and he stayed down motionless for a matter of minutes. It didn't look good for Reid, but he was able to gather his senses and find a way back to his feet.
He walked off the field under his own power with the medical staff at his side.
Reid was immediately evaluated on the sidelines for a concussion after the big hit. There have been no official injury updates on Reid's status.
After Rice was walloped, Rice jumped back up to his feet and had a momentary lapse of self control. Rice spun the ball at Reid's feet and he was immediately flagged under the NFL's new taunting rule which prohibits spinning the ball at the feet of your opponents.

Wife of Vt. man shot by police questions policyJanuary 15,2014BURLINGTON-The wife of a Burlington man who was fatally shot by police in November has implored the city and police department to review policies about responding to mental health crisis situations.
Barbara Brunette testified before the City Council on Monday that there's not enough help for the mental health community.
Brunette's husband, Wayne Brunette, who had a history of mental illness, was shot by police outside of his home on Nov. 6. Police responded to the home on a report that the 49-year-old Brunette was acting irrationally and destroying property. He was shot during a confrontation in which police said he was wielding a shovel. The two responding officers were cleared in December.
The Council is considering a resolution asking police to review mental health response procedures.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER New proposed banking regulations could make it easier to get a loan.

Chinese noodle robot. I don't know if this is a good thing or another way for a trade to be ruined. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukNkCnNJuR8
Its CNC Chinese noodles. curious why they even have the Bot shaped like a human?
They explained it in another report I saw on it. Something about looking like a suoer hero or some non sence. Apparently they draw in huge crowds. So I guess it is more exciting for people to watch a "robot" do the work.
It looks like it's 2 motors, one of which is probably literally a windshield wiper motor inside a big goofy blow-molded plastic power ranger and a couple LED's.
Doesn't even come close:

Excellent! Suitable for company. Very rich tasting for a dish with such few calories. TIP: reduce chopping time by buying peeled, cubed butternut squash. The rest is easy!
Butternut Squash au Gratin with Wild Mushrooms and Crispy Bacon
Bettyboop322 Posted: 09/30/13
Lumpy52 Posted: 10/28/13
Fabulous taste but a lot of time prepping. Next time I won't finely dice the squash as it seems unnecessary and too time consuming. I did not use the green onions, instead minced white. I agree with the other review on eliminating the oyster mushrooms on top. Next time I'll use that amount of chanterelle or shiitake in the mix. It would be excellent for company. It was great left over also.
skowalcook Posted: 09/20/13
I thought the dish was outstanding! I agree that the dish is time intensive - but I'd make this again for a special occasion in the fall. I don't typically add mushrooms to my fall squash dishes but this recipe does a great job of balancing the flavors. I modified the recipe slightly - adding truffle cheese on top, increasing the bacon to 4 slides (applewood smoked), and adding a dash of truffle oil when I sauteed the mushrooms. Delicious :)
jarnolduf Posted: 09/18/13
Good, but not worth all of the time and effort. This recipe was very time intensive with all of the chopping and preliminary cooking. The end result was good, but I won't make it again.
daneanp Posted: 03/17/14
Too much work, not enough pay off. Won't make this again.
Gabbyct Posted: 10/27/13
As the other reviewers mentioned, this is a very time intensive recipe. I think there are some shortcuts that could be put in place such as buying pre-chunked squash or cutting off the top of the squash and only dicing that part, roast the rest of it and skip the first step of sauteing the squash with the onions. I think you could also get away with not using the oyster mushrooms on top- just the Parmesan and bacon. This would make a very hearty vegetarian Thanksgiving main dish.
carolfitz Posted: 11/19/13
Made as a pre-test for possible new Thanksgiving side, so subbed very thinly sliced regular mushrooms for the shiitake, chanterelle, oyster. Prepped in the morning to recipe, stopping just before putting mixture into oven pan. That made it super-easy to finish baking/broiling before dinner. Think this is a great alternative if you'd like to serve a savory rather than a sweet squash with your turkey. The regular mushrooms were fine, but will probably use the recommended for holiday dinner. (served with CL's pork with whisky-cumberland sauce)

At Home: A Short History of Private Lifeby Bill Bryson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From one of the most beloved authors of our time—more than six million copies of his books have been sold in this country alone—a fascinating excursion into the history behind the place we call home.
"Houses aren't refuges from history. They are where history ends up."
Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as he found it in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to "write a history of the world without leaving home." The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on, as Bryson shows how each has figured in the evolution of private life. Whatever happens in the world, he demonstrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture.
Bill Bryson has one of the liveliest, most inquisitive minds on the planet, and he is a master at turning the seemingly isolated or mundane fact into an occasion for the most diverting exposition imaginable. His wit and sheer prose fluency make At Home one of the most entertaining books ever written about private life.
The award-winning author of A Short History of Nearly Everything explores the ways in which homes reflect history, from a bathroom's revelations about medicine and hygiene to a kitchen's exposure of the stories of trade and nutrition. 600,000 first printing.
About the Author
BILL BRYSON's books include A Walk in the Woods, I'm a Stranger Here Myself, In a Sunburned Country, Bryson's Book of Troublesome Words, A Short History of Nearly Everything (which earned him the 2004 Aventis Prize), The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, and Bryson's Dictionary for Writers and Editors. Bryson lives in England with his wife and children.

CANFIELD, Ohio -- Nearly 65 years after accountants Richard Hill, William Barth and Wally King first collaborated to form the Hill, Barth and King Accounting Firm, the firm now known as HBK CPAs and Consultants has relocated to 6603 Summit Drive. The public acccounting firm was founded in 1949.
"As our flagship Youngstown office cuts the ribbon on a new 35,000-square-foot headquarters facility, bringing together HBK, HBKS Wealth Management, HBK Valuation Group and HBK Energy into one state-of-the-art location, we find ourselves at an exciting time in our history," the firm's managing principal and CEO, Chris Allegretti, said in a prepared statement.
Allegretti noted that HBK is undergoing a sweeping brand identification campaign to achieve unity among its services lines and industry distinction in its markets served.
"Clearly we've diversified over the years through careful organic growth as well as through recruitment of entrepreneurs and specialists to our team and also via strategic mergers, acquisitions and partnerships," he said.
Reflected HBK founder Wally King, who still resides in the region, "When I look at this beautiful new facility, I can't help but think 'Wow!"
King offered a new explanation for the HBK moniker, moving forward. "You will have folks ask what the HBK in the building stands for. How about, 'Humble, Bold and Kind'?" he said.
Allegretti said the firm's fundamental mission --to grow, manage and protect the financial well being of clients -- remains unchanged.
"Although we're moving to a suburban location," said HBK principal David Blasko, "we wanted to remain true to our roots. We specifically chose to remain in the greater Youngstown/Warren region during this expansion process because we want to continue to provide financial services, jobs and internship opportunities and support of community events and initiatives in the region we are proud to call home"
The relocation will be celebrated with a public open house to be announced later this summer.

An interdisciplinary conference in Freiburg i. Br./Germany, May 08-10, 2012
Scope of Conference
The purpose of the workshops and of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from various disciplines. IT professionals, lawyers, law enforcement and intelligence agents, as well as judges, prosecutors, forensic specialists and psychologists will contribute their special expertise to the discussion of current security issues, covering topics like anonymity vs. accountability, cybercrime, computer forensics and investigations, legal aspects on current security and privacy issues, resilience in communication infrastructures, human-related security risks, a broad range of privacy matters and traditional IT and network security. The debate on the radical changes in the risk, threat and vulnerability of IT systems condense on this workshop jointly organized by the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law (MPICC) and the Centre for Security and Society at the University of Freiburg. The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is to establish an in-depth contextual knowledge to the challenges of IT security. The better understanding of each others domain should help that new IT security measures and laws do not compromise the openness and democracy of our society.
This conference is already the fifth workshop in a row of events held every two or three years at the Max Planck Institute. It started as a semi-public workshop for the IT people and other interested party in the Max Planck society and other research institutes. With the rising significance of the topic the idea was born to make it an international conference for legal and technical aspects of IT security. The last workshop in 2009 brought together participants from a wide range of technical, legal and sociological backgrounds joined by law enforcement agencies, public prosecutors, external professionals or forensic investigators.

Divorce, Malian Style
By Leo Goldsmith
Min Ye… (Tell Me Who You Are)
Dir. Souleymane Cissé, Mali/France/Sweden, no distributor
"Each film is a miracle," said Souleymane Cissé, and in his 40-year career, the filmmaker has made about a half dozen of them. Min Ye… (Tell Me Who You Are) is the Malian director's first feature in over a decade, and it comes to us, as do many films from contemporary Africa, partly due to European funding and technical support. But the film also draws on the resources of Mali's best-funded and most popular visual media—television—to present its take on the culturally entrenched practice of polygamy. Unlike in other parts of West Africa, where the video market comprises the bulk of visual culture, television production and broadcasting receives healthy state funding in Mali, where Malian cinema struggles for financing from abroad and wide release at home. Originally planned as a ten-hour miniseries, Min Ye seems to take some of its form and idiom from Malian television serials, with their lurid, twisting plotlines, expressive soap-operatics from their performers, and functionality as a popular platform for social debate.
Cissé's most famous film in the West is probably Yeelen, his visionary Pan-African creation myth, which won Cannes' 1987 Grand Jury Prize. But that astonishing film is in fact the mythopoetic centerpiece of a career book-ended by works of social realism that deal with issues of class, gender, and labors in Mali. Earlier films, like Den Muso (The Girl) and Baara (Work) dealt explicitly with social class divisions and their impact on the community at large, while later films, like Finye (The Wind), addressed military rule. (Yeelen also touches upon social issues in more subtle ways, and Cissé has spoken of his use of folklore and fantasy to veil his social criticism at the time of making the film.) In Min Ye this is all set against the backdrop of an increasingly consumerist Malian middle class, whose complacent disregard for gender inequity and income discrepancies Cissé portrays in myriad tiny details.
Min Ye stars Assane Kouyate as Issa, a filmmaker who lives in the torment of jealousy and suspicion about one of his wives, Mimi (played big by the popular TV presenter and journalist Sokana Gakou), who works as a doctor for a national development project. The couple's sources of income are far from clear—Issa's weighty occupation suggests only that he's sensitive and thoughtful, in spite of his clinging to the polygamist tradition; her work is seen only briefly, and it doesn't occupy much of her time. Indeed, what the couple do spend much of their time on is scheming—she to meet her lover; he to catch her in the act—and then quarreling, rendered by Cissé in repeated, explosive outbursts.
The emotional fireworks mainly come from Mimi, Issa's least favorite wife in this comedy of unmarriage, whose moods and whims change with her wardrobe. And what a wardrobe: her flowing caftans of shimmering, vivid fabric and puzzlingly large golden rings are nearly overshadowed by her great gobs of makeup and a medusa-like shock of shiny, black locks. She's a force to be reckoned with—and aims to prove it when Issa's impatience and suspicions prompt him to involve his lawyers. "He's going to go through hell," she tells a friend, who in turn cautions her, "Powerful women aren't popular here."
This may be so, but it's one of the paradoxes of Cissé's vision of Mali that there are so many powerful women about, yet so few powerful enough to alter the old-fashioned, problematic traditions. Once Issa involves the law, the story pitches back and forth between the domestic space and the civic and social organs of the community, as Mimi and Issa's bust-ups and family squabbles become the problems of those around them, too: servants, wives, children, siblings, friends, lawyers, policemen, and even the local fortune teller. In all of this, it's often the women—sisters, wives, attorneys, and officials—who find themselves upholding a tradition that permits male polygamy and forbids female philandering. With Mimi as a foil for wise, clear-headed women everywhere, Cissé shows how their roles as stabilizers or unifiers force women to work against their own interests, as in a scene at Issa's birthday party, which can't help but devolve into intra-wife name-calling and a nearly literal tug-of-war for the husband's attention.
Not that Issa is let off entirely, even if he's one of many men in the film whose adherence to tradition causes trouble in his life. Abba, Mimi's lover, also has wives (two of them— one of whom he identifies as "a slut"), and he somehow symbolizes them with the two cell phones he carries. ("I'll call you back," he says into the mobile in his right hand as Mimi waits on the other end of the one in his left. "I'm on the phone.") With his usual evenhandedness, Cissé treats the love scenes between Abba and Mimi as genuinely tender, but there is the lingering sense that Abba is no fool, a materialistic creep who relies on the cronyism of the local police force to duck out of Issa's lawsuit.
This distinctly TV-friendly mix of surface complexity and populist characterization will make the film a slog for many expecting the lush totemic grandeur—or indeed the African exoticism—of a Yeelen (in spite of a gorgeous soundtrack featuring Ali Farka Touré, Vieux Farka Touré, Rokia Traoré, Oumou Sangaré, and the Ensemble Instrumental National du Mali; even the ring tones are beautiful). Cissé packs in plot information in a manner that betrays the project's origins as a work five times longer. Furthermore, inconsistency in sound, framing, and exposure suggest a film made quickly and cheaply (reflected in scenes of Issa at work alongside a cinematographer carrying consumer-grade equipment).
But this comparative roughness is not the work of a sloppy, amateurish filmmaker—much less a primitive sensibility, as some contemporary Western reviews of Yeelen ventured when puzzled about the film's non-Western narrative structure. Cissé learned filmmaking in Moscow in the early Sixties, and his recent adoption of the populist television production model suggests that he is simply adapting to the realities of cinema in a country that, by his account, has exactly one movie theater (he's hoping to book his film there). With financing for feature films becoming increasingly unattainable for West African filmmakers (unless they have Danny Glover's help, as Abderrahmane Sissako did for Bamako), the more affordable forms of television and video provide new avenues for filmmakers to engage audiences, tell stories, and address issues on their own terms. Min Ye is not a perfect specimen of this, but it offers the rare chance to watch a master working in an idiom to which we are seldom exposed.

The 1825 publication of Robert Mills' Atlas of the State of South Carolina marked an American cartographic first. This volume is the first systematic atlas of any state in the union. Remarkably, too, no other state atlas of South Carolina was published for the next century and a half.
This collection of 17th century world maps was published and printed by the Danckerts family, and was donated as a part of the Mitchell King Library. These 31 maps cover various countries in Europe, as well as the continents of Asia, Africa, and North and South America. The maps are by various cartographers including Visscher, Schagen, Overton, Ram, Blaeu, Broen, and Borgonio.
Originally conceived in the late 18th Century, fire insurance maps provided structural and urban environmental information necessary for insurance underwriters. Founded in 1867 in the United States, the Sanborn National Insurance Diagram Bureau systematically produced ascetically appealing, but also efficient, maps nationwide. This New York firm expanded and grew immensely, finally emerging as the Sanborn Map Company in 1902. Eighteen years later the company effectively monopolized the insurance map industry.

The gays rescue the tragic "People's Choice Awards"
Elton John made his first TV appearance since announcing his fatherhood, and was given a standing ovation. It was a sweet moment.
The final highlight was when Pauley Perrette announced the award for — well, I don't remember, because I was too busy appreciating her dress. Pauley has become one of the great equality advocates of the last few years, and she wins the award for Best Dressed.
As for the lowlights, take your pick. I almost didn't get through the first ten minutes because it featured host Queen Latifah (who was atrocious) giving us a sneak peek at The Dilemma. Um, thanks?
The first award was for Favorite Comedy Actor, presented by a dazed and confused Jennifer Aniston to Adam Sandler, who proceeded to prove why he's actually one if the unfunniest people on the face of the earth. And to add insult, he brought the other two unfunniest people on the face of the earth onstage, David Spade and Rob Schneider.
I mentioned that Queen Latifah was atrocious last night, and in all honesty, she had me reaching for the mute button numerous times. It was cringe-inducing. Below you can see her attempt to interview those vapid reality sisters. it's not pretty.

TEAMS: Green Bay Packers
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver made an appearance on 95.7 the Game in San Francisco (via SportsRadioInterviews.com) and was asked why he decided to retire now. "Today is the day I officially said I'm going to retire, but on Feb. 6, in front of our fans in Green Bay, that's where I want to do it. I'm going to open up my retirement to the fans and give them an opportunity to show my love and respect for them. It's been a blessing and great career for me, but I owe it to the fans not to wear any other color." There was a report that the Vikings were interested in Driver, but I think he might the right move to retire now. I can't imagine him wearing another team's uniform.

Anacaona was born in Yaguana (today the town of Léogane, Haiti) in 1474. During Christopher Columbus's visit to the chiefdom of Jaragua in what is now southwest Haiti in late 1496, Anacaona and her brother Bohechío appeared as equal negotiators. On that occasion, described by Bartolomé de las Casas in Historia de las Indias, Columbus successfully negotiated for tribute of food and cotton to be paid by the natives to the Spanish invaders under his command. The visit is described as having taken place in a friendly atmosphere. Several months later, Columbus arrived with a caravel to collect a part of the tribute. Anacaona and Behechío had sailed briefly aboard the caravel, near today's Port-au-Prince in the Gulf of Gonâve.
Her immortalization in the intertwining histories of both Haiti and the Dominican Republic have resulted in the use of her name for various places in both countries. Many in Haiti claim her as a significant icon in early Haitian history and consequently a primordial founder of their country. Renowned Haitian American author Edwidge Danticat wrote an award-winning novel, Anacaona: Golden Flower, Haiti, 1490, in dedication to the fallen chief. She was immortalized by Puerto Rican salsa composer Tite Curet Alonso in his song "Anacaona".

How do I read his mixed signals?
The guy I like has been sending so many mixed signals.. I just don't understand him.. For example the other day he was acting really sweet, telling me he liked me and he missed me and he wanted to hangout when I get home (I was away at camp) So when I get back and I try to make plans he acts completely uninterested.. so I stopped texting him.. because I didn't want to annoy him.. Then later on he texted me once again acting all sweet.. Then yesterday.. the same thing.. He just acts completely uninterested.. But I've realized that he only acts weird if I text him first.. But if he texts me he is really sweet.. I just don't get it.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
sounds like you're figuring out his hot/cold nature...play it safe and let him stabilize his signals to either he's interested or he's not...this will help you to build a better gut feeling as to where he stands...for now, just drop signals and vibes that show him your intentions
What Guys Said 1
Sorry to break it to you, but you are his back-up girl. I would do the same if I were him and I had two girls I was dating or interested in. The guy will always like one girl more, and answer her texts all the time. For the back-up girl, he is thinking something like, "yah, I will get back to her if my main interest is busy."
What Girls Said 2
seriously Don't waste you time. He doesn't like you. If he liked you, he'd be happy you texted him. when he texts you, only to tell you really sweet things like I miss you, we should get together...what do you think that means? He's just trying to get in your pants. It's obvious.
i know what you mean! one of my ex's was the exact same way and he was honestly bipolar.but if this guy isn't, maybe he's just scared. he might just be really busy and doesn't wanna talk right then, so he texts you at a time he's not doing anything.. or he could just be playing mind-games if you think he's that type \:
