She was named the Best Stand-up Comedian by The Chicago Reader, The Chicago Tribune has listed her as a "Comedian to Watch" and she's the youngest comic listed on Comedy.com's "Top 20 Stand-up Comedians in Chicago". All this while stealing the show at Just For Laughs Chicago and running a popular show called "Entertaining Julia"
Just Morgan (not to be confused with championship skimboarder Morgan Just) is in her own words "A 58 year old transgendered woman just telling the truth…" And what truth it is. Morgan is a favorite at Harvey's in the Castro, the Lookout, and she was recently featured at the very popular "Fags n Hags" show at the SF Punchline.
Returning to the Business is everyone's favorite Marshmallow Peep enthusiast Kevin Hancock. Kevin has been around the SF Comedy scene for years. He works all the major clubs in town (The Gold Club, The Cat Club, The Hot Sauce of the Month Club), and is the host of "Pretty Good Not Much" a very funny radio program on Pirate Cat Radio.
…and with Alex traveling around the country with the next month or so like a modern day Johnny Joke-seed, The Business is proud to bring on Chris Thayer as his "understudy." Thayer is also no stranger to the Business, making memorable past appearances that have endeared him to us all in a skinny, creepy way.
As always, The Business is totally five bucks, totally at 8pm and totally not BYOB anymore, but totally get your taco on across the street. Totally

Publication Offers Tree-Planting Tips
September 27, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 26 (UPI) — U.S. researchers say that while spring is the traditional planting season it's not the only season for trees, many of which do better planted in the fall.
Researches at Purdue University have released a publication, available free online, meant to provide home owners and arborists with complete information on tree planting whatever the season, a university release reported Monday.
"Tree Installation: Process and Practices" covers every aspect of planting from selecting the right tree, planting location, irrigation and maintenance whatever the season, researchers said.
"Some of our favorite landscape trees, such as lindens, sycamores, honeylocusts and crabapples, do quite well when planted in the fall, with proper care," Purdue urban forestry expert Lindsey Purcell said.
A newly planted tree needs to establish a root system capable of supporting its canopy to survive its first winter, Purcell said, so tree species that are slower to establish roots, such as magnolia, dogwood, black gum, bald cypress and several types of oak, can experience winter damage.
"This publication is not just about how to plant a tree but also the thought process that goes into choosing and placement of that tree," Purcell said. "Digging a hole and putting the tree in it is just one small part of the process. We want to reap the benefits of that tree for 50, 100, 300 years down the road, so it is critical to plan for that planting."

The Indonesian island of Bali, lies just south of the Equator and measures 95 miles wide and 69 miles from north to south. Sanur is one of the main beach resorts on the beautiful southern coast of the island of Bali. The town's history goes back for centuries with some of the oldest writings on Bali being preserved at the small local temple. Although many hotels, shops and restaurants have grown up around Sanur, it still retains its cultural customs and way of life as a fishing village. The area is popular with ex-pats as it has an international school and is generally quieter than other popular nightspots.
The beach at Sanur is ideal for sunbathing and relaxing in the warm waters. There is a reef just offshore which makes conditions ideal for surfing and keeps the inner lagoon waters calm. Swimming can be enjoyed at high tide. There is a 5km promenade for strolling along from your Bali holiday rental. It is lined with small beachside restaurants offering drinks and snacks. On the outskirts of Sanur are the American fast food chains such as McDonalds and KFC. The pub in Sanur provides live music but there are no major nightclubs around your holiday rental in Sanur. One excellent local experience to try is the "lulur" body scrub, a cleansing treatment usually performed before a wedding. Other experiences to enjoy are the cultural dancing, sculpture, painting, music, exotic birds, animals and monkeys as well as the exotic flowers which thrive here. The coral reef is popular with snorkelers and divers who may see turtles, sunfish, moray eels, manta rays, dolphins and many colourful fish.
Along the local road in North Samur is the local Museum Le Mayeur and the Prasasti Blanjong which preserves the 10th century inscriptions written on a stone pillar. Other places to visit are a short drive away from your Bali holiday villa. Bali's best known attractions are the Hindu temples and the Garuda Wisnu Kencana, a monument of the Vishnu riding the mythical Garuda bird. The viewpoint overlooking the Ayung River is said to be one of the most beautiful views in Asia, and will be a highlight of your Bali holiday. The town of Ubud is a delightful inland town which is the center of Balinese artistic heritage and crafts.
The weather in Bali is warm all year round with temperatures ranging from 20-33°C (68-93°F). From December to March the monsoon season can bring some short but heavy showers, usually at night. The dry season is from June to September, when humidity is low. During this season it is cooler during the evening and you may need a light jacket at higher altitudes.
The Bali Ngurah Pai International (DPS) Airport is Indonesia's second largest airport and has many flights arriving daily from all over the world. It is situated in the south of the island and is 15km (9 miles) from Bali's capital city of Denpasar. Public buses, taxis and shuttle buses take about 25 minutes to transport visitors to their Sanur holiday homes from the airport.

Shane joined the Management Science Group in October 2010 to begin his PhD. Prior to this, he obtained a BEng/MEng degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, from Imperial College London in 2008, during which he learned operational research and digital processing techniques and used them to complete his thesis in financial time series tracking. Since graduating from Imperial he has been conducting research with Nicos Christofides, Professor Emeritus of Quantitative Finance at Imperial College, during which he has gained additional experience in financial modelling, approximate dynamic programming and conjugate gradient search techniques.
The primary objective of Shane's research is to design a neural network (NN) structure using combinatorial optimization algorithms (both exact and heuristic) to evaluate the potential of using the technique in forecasting trends for financial time-series. This has an impact on the computation of risk exposures to market risk over short horizons, as well as being of obvious advantage to portfolio selection and other investment activities.
Mathematical modelling and trend forecasting for stochastic financial time series has long been a popular research approach. Most methodologies have involved statistical models such as regression analysis. These linear models are unable to deal with the complex and generally nonlinear interactions that determine the asset price movements and their track record in forecasting is very poor. In Shane's approach he deals with both nonlinearities and economic regime changes by designing an adaptive approximate dynamic programming system that changes its structure based on endogenous and exogenous information that flows through the neural network.
Shane's key areas of interest are: dynamic programming; conjugate gradient search;
pricing financial products; time series tracking and trend forecasting.

Team-Up Thursday: Hands
That little Olivia sure does have some sweet hands...and eyes....and cheeks. She is just yummy all over! Growing up, I had a friend that sucked on those same two fingers, for years and years. So cute!
My shot captures something very familiar right now in this stage of life, but which will become a fond memory as my little girls grows up. Sometimes the constant "hold my hand, Mama!" and neediness gets a little old...but I really will miss that little hand in mine one day. Nadia is such an affectionate child, and I love that!
Visit Megan for more Team-Up Thursday!

Aww to both! My youngest sucked on those same fingers but only for about 7 months. I can relate to yours b/c my 3 year old calls to me from the living room "I love you so much mama" about 10 times when I am in the kitchen and always wants to hold my hand. I love both of your shots so much! Sentimental week :)

You guys are giving me baby fever with all these beautiful shots. I love the shot you took of you holding Nadia's hand. That reminds me that I need to take a shot like this as a keepsake. I know the day will come when they will no longer want to hold my hand.

Both of mine will still hold my hand too. I love it!! I will be sad when they get to old for it. Very sweet shot Christina.

World's Craziest Facials
Would YOU get one?
Ah, the things we do for beauty. Women everywhere are shelling out big bucks to have stuff like human placenta, foreskin, and even bird poop slathered on our faces to look younger and wrinkle-free. Here, the world's top six craziest facials.
World's Craziest Facials
Sperm Facial
Spermine, a powerful antioxidant originally discovered in human sperm, is said to diminish wrinkles and smooth the skin. Spermine facials cost $250 at Townhouse Spa in NYC.
Foreskin Facial
TNS Recovery Complex by Skin Medica contains foreskin from a circumcised baby and sells for $155 at Jordan Salon and Day Spa in Minnesota.
Placenta Facial
Placenta reportedly has natural antioxidants, proteins, and amino acids that increase the skin's ability to absorb oxygen and stimulate cellular metabolism, skin tissue growth, and cells' reproduction and repair. Placenta facials are all the rage in Hollywood, and cost $200 at La Beaute by Diane in California.
Snail Secretion Facial
Scientists have discovered that snail secretion counteracts sun damage and prevents premature skin aging and wrinkles. Snail-secretion facials cost $175 at Townhouse Spa in NYC.
Bird Poop Facial
The Geisha Facial contains nightingale excrement. The Japanese powder, also known as Uguisu no Fun, is rich in the amino acid guanine, said to brighten and cleanse skin. It's $180 at Shizuka New York.
24K Gold Facial
Gold slows down collagen depletion and the breakdown of elastin to prevent sagging skin. It stimulates cellular growth of the basal layer to regenerate healthy, firm skin cells and provide a tightening effect. The UMO 24 karat gold facial is $400 at Veronica Skin Care in Malibu.

Everything Is Not What It Seems
XVI by Julia Karr (Book 1 XVI Series)
Every girl gets one. An XVI tattoo on the wrist—sixteen. They say they're there for protection. Some girls can't wait to be sixteen, to be legal. Nina is not one of them. Even though she has no choice in the matter, she knows that so long as her life continues as normal, everything will be okay. Then, with one brutal strike, Nina's normal is shattered; and she discovers that nothing that she believed about her life is true. But there's one boy who can help—and he just may hold the key to her past. But with the line between attraction and danger as thin as a whisper, one thing is for sure…for Nina, turning sixteen promises to be anything but sweet.
The year is 2150 and women's rights and the freedoms we enjoy today (at the moment) are just a memory. The world that 15-year-old Nina Oberon lives in is frightening to me. Frightening because it's all too plausible. The Governing Council controls the populace through the Media. Through the Media girls are "trained" to become a sex-teen when they turn sixteen. There's even a guide for this transition. How to dress and act to attract guys. Girls become adults at sixteen, identified by a tattoo on the wrist – XVI. This becomes an invitation (unwanted or not) that girls are ready for sex. Girls don't have many choices, they either marry above them or get accepted into the FeLS (Female Liaison Specialists) program. (more…)
Byron, Keats, and Shelly Re-imagined
So Shelly by Ty Roth
Loosely based on the lives of George Gordon, Lord Byron, John Keats, Mary Shelly, and Percy Shelly, this re-imagining is set in a small town in Ohio, with the main characters in high school. Narrated by Keats, who is both the observer and the minimal participant in the lives of Byron and Shelly, this novel is told in alternating chapters between the present and the past.
In the present, Byron and Keats reminisce about the life of Shelly as they fulfill her last wishes, a "romantic adventure" that is So Shelly. As they both navigate their own memories of Shelly and piece together the reasons for Shelly's tragic death, a tentative friendship is formed.
In the chapters about the past, we discover that both Byron and Shelly have very dysfunctional families. Byron grows into a pathological, egocentric, and sex-obsessed teen. Shelly (an amalgamation of Mary Shelly and her husband Percy) is more than Byron's best friend with no limitations. As they both dabble in combined and separate endeavors, their relationship never turns romantic (despite Shelly wanting otherwise). Keats observes their mutually destructive friendship from the sidelines.
Keats has his own set of problems. He's obsessed with death. As he narrates, he throws out statistics about death. His father and mother are dead, and his older brother Tom is also on his way to death's door. Keats himself will also die young, this he knows. (more…)

Why do we do poll questions on The Landry Hat? Because we want to involve you, the die-hard Cowboys fan, in building an interactive community with us. Your poll answers influence our opinions, articles and discussions about all things Cowboys. We love reading your comments and tweets as well. Please help us make this the best Cowboys site on the internet by becoming involved in our community!
Here's today's poll question:
Here's my take:
"As reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Clarence Hill on Thursday, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones told reporters that Dallas head coach Jason Garrett would return next year, regardless how the team finishes this season. Unfortunately, I think he was being 100% honest. If Dallas was in any other division in football, we'd be talking about possible mid-season head coach replacements. But here in the NFC East, you can still be a bad team and get into the playoffs. And let's face it, the Cowboys are a bad team right now. I think this group desperately needs a change at every major coaching position. But Jones has seen just enough to convince him the playoffs are in reach, and that the team is heading in the right direction. I also think his loyalty to Garrett blinds him from the truth. This statement, this late in the season, pretty much seals it. Prepare for yet another blah season under the Jason Garrett Experiment."
As always, we love to hear what you think. Please leave your comments below. Here at TLH, we are trying to build a strong and faithful fan base where everyone's' opinions and views are respected. So, we ask that you be gracious and respectful to both our staff and other commenters when using our comment section. Please refrain from any personal attacks and/or foul language, as violators will be blacklisted. Thank you for being a part of building this great Landry Hat community.

Herpes and Pregnancy: What You Should Know
How will I know if my baby is infected?
The ASHA says that the pediatrician will watch your newborn closely for about three weeks. You and your doctor should be wary of the following symptoms:
- skin rash
- fever
- crankiness
- lack of appetite
While these can be symptoms of several mild illnesses, says the ASHA, don't wait to see if your baby will get better. "Take [your baby] to the pediatrician at once, [and] be sure to tell the pediatrician you have genital herpes," the organization urges.
What happens if my baby is infected?
Infected newborns are treated with one of two popular antiviral drugs (acyclovir or vidarabine), which can help babies born with herpes if they are treated right away. The March of Dimes reports that these two drugs are quite successful in treating localized infections of the eyes, skin, or mouth; but they are less effective when applied later, once the infection has spread to the brain and other internal organs.
Can I breastfeed if I have HSV?
The NWHIC says that you can breastfeed, but only if your sores are covered. "Herpes is spread through contact with sores and can be dangerous to a newborn. If you have sores on your nipple or areola (the darker skin around the nipple), you should stop breastfeeding on that breast."

Prop 8 Trial – Day Twelve; Defense Expected to Finish
January 27, 2010
Yesterday, plaintiffs' attorneys finished their cross-examination of defense expert Kenneth Miller. Then, defendants called David Blankenhorn, founder and president of the Institute for American Values, as their second expert witness. Despite plaintiffs' counsel noting that Mr. Blankenhorn lacked the usual qualifications to be an expert witness, Judge Walker permitted his testimony to go forward. Blankenhorn testified that the purpose of marriage is to ensure that children are raised by their biological parents, and if same-sex couples were allowed to marry, it would make the institution of marriage about the needs of adults, "deinstitutionalizing" it and discouraging different-sex couples from marrying. Late in the day, plaintiffs' attorney David Boies began his cross-examination of Blankenhorn, eliciting from him that the children of same-sex couples would benefit from their parents being married. For more details, Shannon Minter has his usual excellent analysis on Pam's House Blend. Today, we expect further cross-examination of David Blankenhorn and the defendants to offer any last evidence. As we noted yesterday, Judge Walker will then recess for a couple of weeks to review the evidence before hearing closing arguments from both sides. Keep an eye on the #prop8 hashtag on Twitter and the Courage Campaign's Prop 8 Trial Tracker site for updates during the day. Check back with us tomorrow morning for a wrap-up of today's proceedings.

Sautéed Carrots with Sage
carolfitz Posted: 01/31/10
Rigatoni Posted: 11/01/10
Yum! I have made this several times, outstanding flavors!
TeresaMichelsen Posted: 07/17/10
Excellent - yummy with spring carrots and sage from the garden. The only change I'd make is to saute the fresh sage for a couple of minutes with the carrots rather than adding it after cooking - the flavors will blend better.
Jessie123 Posted: 11/08/09
These were really good and quite beautiful. The sage was a little overpowering so we didn't eat the sage just enjoyed the aroma while we ate the carrots. Followed the directions exactly.
Snoochee Posted: 11/26/09
Quick, easy, delicious. I made only a single recipe and I actually felt that it could have used a bit more sage. I will be making again and again.
dmloss Posted: 01/02/11
This recipe was excellent! I used dried sage instead of fresh, about 3/4 teaspoon. It look about 10 minutes for the carrots to brown, rather than the 4 mentioned in the recipe. I will definitely make again!
tinamgerads Posted: 11/03/09
This takes carrots to a whole new level! The butter and olive oil combination provides a wonderful crispy taste on the outside, and creamy texture on the inside.
Dandetaub Posted: 11/20/09
All I have to say is Delicious. This will be a new staple in my recipes. I want to toss out any other carrot recipe I ever had. I was actually disappointed I didn't have a chance for seconds - from now on it will be quadrupled.
Meggers1386 Posted: 11/04/09
These were great! I agree with other reviews that they were crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside, and the distinct sage flavor made it feel like fall in my mouth! It was so easy to make, I'll definitely repeat this one often.
CODR24 Posted: 11/26/09
Nice way to do carrots. I agree re the sage. When increasing the recipe increase the sage carefully.
BethMu Posted: 11/08/10
These carrots are simple and are perfect for Thanksgiving. They always get rave reviews from both sides of the family. Sub vegetable broth for vegetarian!
mjmayinsf Posted: 02/09/11
Delicious preparation for carrots - made me want to eat at least twice what I would have with steam carrots! Would be good even without the sage, or with parsley. Definitely will make this again (and again).
bmv0220 Posted: 04/01/11
Loved these! Followed the recipe to a T, aside from doubling for our veggie loving family.
ddc1993 Posted: 02/11/11
I cant say enough about this recipe. Love this and very Weight Watchers friendly. This is only 2 points a serving and full of flavor!
KKB613 Posted: 11/03/11
I don't usually like cooked carrots but these were fantastic! So savory with the sage. My husband liked it too, definitely a keeper.
kkparsons Posted: 11/14/12
I added extra sage. Watch closely at the end so they don't get overly browned. Yum!
KathyLacy Posted: 03/19/12
One of our favorite recipes, we make it all the time.
GayleR Posted: 04/06/12Greenville, NC
I liked the sauteed carrots but not with the fresh sage.
Ericar1477 Posted: 11/25/13
so good, so easy. great fall side.
ChereF Posted: 04/12/14
Great taste and texture. Sage & carrots so good. Diagonal cut give full flavor. MigraineFree!

The weight limit for using this ball is 700lbs!! This was one of the main reasons I bought it, because although I weigh nowhere near that much, I am close to the weight limit listed on many regular exercise balls, and my inordinate fear of something busting while I use it made me paranoid. I was looking for a way to exercise without stressing my very bad knees, and had looked at several exercise balls both on line and in stores. Nothing seemed to fit the bill-- either the weight limit was low, or the price was high. I ordered this, and it comes with its own pump, which isn't really explained in the product description, but it is very convenient as I thought I'd have to take it somewhere to get it filled. It comes in a little box all folded up and there's this little funny looking thing with a hole on one end that is the pump. You will be sure that the pump cannot fill the ball to an adequate pressure when you see it. It did take me a little while, but once I got the hang of the pumping action, it got to the right pressure within a few minutes. There is a white plastic plug that comes along with to serve as stopper, and a little plastic lever thing in case you need to unstop the opening and put in more air. Now I sit on this ball with all confidence and basically do dance routines along to music and it is great and I get exhausted, but my knees are not stressed. If your needs are similar to mine, you will like this piece of equipment.

- Yield: 10 servings
- How To:
- Read Reviews
- Write a Review
- Save Recipe
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chilled stick margarine, cut into 6 pieces
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons ice water
- Vegetable cooking spray
- 6 cups peeled, sliced peaches (about 3 3/4 pounds)
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar, divided
- 2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add first 3 ingredients, and pulse 2 or 3 times. Add margarine pieces, and pulse 10 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal. With processor running, slowly add ice water through food chute, processing just until combined (do not form a ball).
- Gently press flour mixture into a 4-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover with additional plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, into a 15- x 13-inch rectangle. Place dough in freezer 5 minutes or until plastic wrap can easily be removed. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Invert and fit dough into a 2-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray, allowing dough to extend over edges of dish; remove top sheet of plastic wrap.
- Combine peaches, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 1/2 tablespoons flour, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large bowl; toss gently. Spoon peach mixture into prepared dish; fold edges of dough over peach mixture (it will only partially cover peaches). Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar over peach mixture; sprinkle with almonds.
- Combine egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl; stir well. Brush egg mixture over dough, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is lightly browned. Let cobbler stand 30 minutes before serving.

In the eight years SALON TODAY has been featuring its annual technology issue, we've explored a number of ways—from websites to e-mail newsletters—that owners are tapping into technology to enhance communication with staff and clients.
Today, a growing number of salon owners are riding the cusp of today's newest tech tools and enhancing their communicative power through blogging.
"Blogging?" you say. "Isn't that what teenagers and college students do?"
Yes, it is. But more and more, business owners are using blogs to attract new customers and build stronger communities of existing clientele. Short for "web log," the blog is defined as a specialized site that allows an individual or group to share a running log of events and personal insights with online audiences.
Don't take our word for it. Aura Mae, the owner of Azarra Salon in Tacoma, Washington, writes both a customer-oriented salon blog (www.getsomehairapy.com) and a blog for small salon owners (www.smallsalons.wordpress.com). She recently blogged the following reasons a salon should enter the blogosphere:
"You want to connect with potential new clients. A blog is a way for potential customers to get a feel for the place before deciding if your salon is the one for them. It is an amazing way to have a conversation with someone at their leisure. Fifteen minutes spent on your blog is better (for both of you!) than 15 minutes on the phone."
"You want to extend the salon experience to existing clients between visits. Make no mistake—your clients come to you for more than just their hair. The salon experience is about so much more. It's about connection and community. Belonging. Remember when you learned that by selling a client a bottle of shampoo, they thought about you every time they used it? Same idea. You want them to think about you. You want them to talk about you. You want them to come back to you!"
"You don't have lots of money to spend on marketing. Let's not fool ourselves. As small fries, we don't have the same advertising budget as the big guys. But the Internet is the great equalizer. A blog is a personal connection between the writer and the reader. It makes big business seem smaller and more approachable and small business feel bigger and more valuable. And blogging is free. How's that for budget friendly?"
Todd Suttles, owner of Noland Suttles Salon in Atlanta, Georgia, and author of www.toddsuttles.typepad.com, adds "the blog is a running dialog. It's like having a conversation with your clients, only you're talking to the world"

Startled Octopus: I am not Trayvon Martin.

I am white. Even in a black hoodie, no one would follow me home and shoot me for the imaginary offenses of my race.
I do stand with Trayvon's family, friends, and all who work for justice, and against racism more broadly. I'm not exactly sure what I can do right now, but I'm going to keep my…

I saw V for Vendetta last night and it was a really awesome movie. I highly recommend it. Its full of potent symbolism, literary allusions, rife with anarchic and libertarian content and... well its just a really good movie. The hero of the movie, "V" is a combination of heroic genius and insane terrorist.
If you've seen the trailer you know that it takes place in a future UK where the government has become super powerful and oppressive. Interrestingly enough though it is being haled as a "uncompromising vision of the future" there was very little gadgetry in it. There were no flying cars and the highest tech devices seemed to be the plasma screen televisions everyone had, and the sweeping listening devices. To put it simply it wasn't so much a possible future as it was a possible now. Though they did place it twenty to 30 years into the future.
In any case it was a great movie, and it makes you think. It was nice to see the wachowski brothers back to focusing on strong plots instead of super special effects. Not that it didn't have any.
Anyhow it got me to thinking, without telling you too much of what happened in the story I will say that it takes place within the context of a society in utter fear of their government. That government got its power by playing on people's fears after a major war followed by a bad terrorist attack.
This parrallels some of the things that happened in wake of 9/11 in the U.S. Mainly people's willingness to give up liberties in return for greater security. AKA the PATRIOT act. What I'm wondering is how far we are from stumbling down a similar path?
My whole life I've heard people talking about how everything is going to hell in a handbasket. First there were the protestants grandparents and their peers who believed every major tornado and/or disaster to be a sign of the "end of days" and of God's wrath upon the sinful.
When I got to elementary school there were the assemblies, plays, and speakers all telling us about how greenhouse gasses were destroying the world. There were cartoons that depicted a world underwater by the year 2000 if we failed to "reduce, reuse, and recycle."
And in the last 7 years since I was originally introduced to libertarianism and objectivism I've heard all manner of end of the world tales. Sometimes they are of government and the economy collapsing in on themselves, and sometimes they are of an extreme rise in government power that causes civil society to collapse.
Since the reelection of the Bush Administration its the left thats been crying fascism, and talking about oppression and the evils of a big powerful government. Many of them envision a future in which we have no freedom of religion, speech, or of person, and that the Bush Administration is going to take us there.
Now that I've said all that I would like to point out that things are getting better and have gotten significantly better in my lifetime. College campuses have admittedly gotten worse, becoming bastions of censorship instead of free speech, but culturally we are more accepting of diversity, we can afford more, technology has gotten better, healthcare has even gotten better. Imagine getting knee replacement surgery in 1980 and being out of the hospital on the same day, being able to put weight on it within 24 hours.
Access and dissemination of information is better and quicker than its ever been. More people are surving illness that were considered terminal just a decade ago.
Compare now with McCarthyism and the red decade. Compare now with how people lived during the nixon administration, and its hard to see a hell-in-a-handbasket scenario(That is unless you are one of those people who thinks the world is going to implode upon itself the moment we "run out of oil.")
Now back to the PATRIOT Act, and the current Bush Administration. Here we have an administration that has decided its okay to spy on Americans in America. They have been caught listening in on us, and apparently that's only a small fraction of the illegal intelligence-related activities they have been up to.
It is now okay for the government to search homes without warrants, detain individuals declared as "enemy combatants," they may demand and acquire personal records about you (including financial, library, and religious records) without a warrant or without telling you - oh yeah and you cannot contest them doing so, they can listen in on your phone conversations by getting a warrang from a secret court without proof that you are connected to terrorist activites... and well it goes on. President Bush just made 14 of the provisions of the Patriot Act permanent, 2 more were extended.
So maybe the Bush Administration isn't after absolute power, maybe they just want to secure their political position by making it easier to catch the bad guys. You catch a big bad terrorist on American soil, and it looks good. It looks like you are doing your job. So lets pretend for the sake of argument that no one in the massive enterprise that is the bush administration, nor any of their collegues or cronies are power-hungry madmen. Let's suppose their purpose is more benign, and perhaps more short-sighted. Maybe they believe this will make america safer, maybe they just want to leave a strong legacy for the next republican contender for the white house.
My question is what doors might this administration be leaving open for others to walk through? Maybe the Bush administration has no desire or intention to curb dissent, or persecute religious and sexual minorities, but what if someone else does?
Could a future attack or disaster give an ambitious individual the perfect opportunity to do just that? If the doors are open, and the tools are there, how far are we really from an oppressive dictatorship?
The fact is I don't know the answer. I'd like to think that it couldn't happen. That there are enough groups out there like the ACLU, and the Institute for Justice who would see it coming. I'd like to think that information is open enough now, and that we are tolerant enough, brave enough, diverse enough, and smart enough that it could never happen. But I really don't know.
I think that it would take more to achieve that sort of end than it ever has before, but that is far from saying it is impossible. I think it would take more than a charismatic politician, but perhaps far less than another 9/11.

Saturday, September 27, 2008
Henry Mance talks with Black politicians in Latin America to see if they believe Barack
Obama's presidential candidacy will serve as an example of how far African descendants can advance in their own nations.
" 'In Latin America, racism has always been half-disguised. It has always been said that it
doesn't exist, while at the same time Blacks have been kept out of the spheres of power,' Afro-Brazilian Senator Paulo
Paim told Mance in this BBC published story.
"At least 110 million Latin Americans are believed to be of African descent, compared with
an estimated 40 million African-Americans in the US....
"...Apart from Haiti and the Dominican
Republic which have Black majorities, only Venezuela and Cuba have had Black leaders during the 20th Century.
" 'The obstacles aren't in the voters, but in the media and party structures that you have to face to
become a candidate,' says Epsy Campbell, the leader of Costa Rica's Citizens Action Party."

Admiralty Law or Maritime Law (the terms are interchangeable) is the body of law which governs maritime questions and offenses. It is both domestic law governing maritime activities and private international governing the relationships between private entities which operate vessels on the open oceans. Article III, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution and the Judiciary Act of 1789 gave the federal district courts jurisdiction over admiralty issues. While the U.S. Constitution extended federal jurisdiction over admiralty and maritime cases, there is still a "saving" clause that permits state courts to hear some maritime cases. Modern American admiralty law is derived from custom, judicial decisions, legislative enactments, and international treaties. Many of the issues relevant to admiralty today are civil litigation involving environmental litigation, personal injury, insurance coverage, and subrogation issues. These topics as well as many others are covered in this guide: arbitration, bills of lading, carriage of goods, damages, personal injury, economic zones, enforcement, exemptions, jurisdiction, maritime liens, maritime claims, maritime collisions, insurance, marine pollution, maritime terrorism, prize, salvage, seamen, shipping, towage and pilotage.

He was 14 yrs. 6mos. and 5 days old —- and the youngest person executed in the United States in the 20th Century
George Junius Stinney, Jr.,
[b. 1929 - d. 1944]
In a South Carolina prison sixty-six years ago, guards walked a 14-year-old boy, bible tucked under his arm, to the electric chair. At 5' 1" and 95 pounds, the straps didn't fit, and an electrode was too big for his leg.
The switch was pulled and the adult sized death mask fell from George Stinney's face. Tears streamed from his eyes. Witnesses recoiled in horror as they watched the youngest person executed in the United States in the past century die.
Now, a community activist is fighting to clear Stinney's name, saying the young boy couldn't have killed two girls. George Frierson, a school board member and textile inspector, believes Stinney's confession was coerced, and that his execution was just another injustice blacks suffered in Southern courtrooms in the first half of the 1900s.
In a couple of cases like Stinney's, petitions are being made before parole boards and courts are being asked to overturn decisions made when society's thumb was weighing the scales of justice against blacks. These requests are buoyed for the first time in generations by money, college degrees and sometimes clout. [CONTINUE READING]

EAST LANSING (WKZO)—Something had to give as the last two undefeated teams in the Big Ten finally met.
It couldn't have been a better match-up for Michigan Basketball fans as the Wolverines went down to the wire on the road with the Spartans, upsetting 3rd ranked Michigan State 80 to 75.
With three straight wins over top-10 opponents, the Wolverines are sure to get a big jump in the next. poll.
This latest victory was one the Maize and Blue will savor for the next few days.
Nik Stauskas and Derrick Walton Jr. led the scoring with 19 points each.
In the last week, the University of Michigan has bumped off Wisconsin and Iowa, who were also among the nation's top ten ranked schools.
It was the Wolverine's 9th straight victory, something they have managed to do despite the absence of starter Mitch McGary who remains sidelined following back surgery.

MasterCard's new 'Display' card: muscle card with no brakes
Slide over, American Express Centurion "Black" Card with your Hollywood allure. Bow down, Coutts & Co. World Card, the plastic preferred by Queen Elizabeth. Sayonara, Citibank Ultima with your free rounds of golf and worldwide airport lounge access.
There's a new status card in town that packs something the rest of you lack: a tiny keypad and LCD digital numeric display.
Last week, MasterCard introduced its Display Card, now available through Standard Chartered Bank exclusively to qualifying customers in Singapore.
In addition to kicking it old-school with standard chip and mag stripe payment verification, the Display Card enables cardholders to make larger purchases than are normally off limits with a static user name and password card. Using the keyboard, the cardholder enters their card's PIN to generate a one-time password on the card's tiny display. This second, more sophisticated form of identity verification then authorizes the cardholder to spend like Justin Bieber should their assets permit.
We first reported on MasterCard's next-generation interactive card two years ago when the brand launched pilot programs with its MasterCard and Maestro debit cards in Turkey and Great Britain. Visa also has an LCD display and keyboard card in the works.
After two years of study, MasterCard Worldwide is bullish on display cards, which it says will increase both online and offline shopping, reduce call center costs and fight fraud, all without requiring costly changes to existing merchant payment terminals. What's more, interested cardholders will happily pay the freight for the added functionality, not to mention the social status upgrade.
One disappointing aspect of the Display Card's overseas debut is the absence of such useful consumer information as available credit balance, rewards points and recent transactions on the card's display menu. MasterCard vows this functionality will follow in version 2.0.
To not open this reciprocal line of communication from card issuer to cardholder, which should be child's play at this level, is a little like bringing a muscle car to market with no brakes. Here's hoping MasterCard engineers those consumer tools into the Display Card before releasing this "muscle card" on our shores.

Jefferson Airplane
"Today" (Cold Duck's Back To Life extended remix)
I first did this mashup of Soul II Soul and Jefferson Airplane late last year—it was a pretty straightforward affair clocking in at just over five minutes. Not long enough for my tastes, although it remains one of my favorite mixes. After listening to my remix of "Today" incessantly over the past several weeks, I decided to give it a longer treatment, and here we are.
The odd thing in reworking my rework is that I had already deleted all the original mixing files from the version I put together last year. That put me in the position of having to re-edit my own edit as a completed track (i.e., no mixing parts left) so as to extend the introductory sections of the song. Then, to create a break, I had to drop in a few somewhat complicated overdubs. Yet another lesson in Never Throw Away Your Work.
The final result here is a little rough, but I rather like that quality, since what I'm trying to do here is blend a 1960s vocal and guitar with 1990's beats. Unpolished is the way the mix should be. I still love this mashup, and am amazed at how well Marty Balin's vocal and Jerry Garcia's guitar sound over the slowed-down opening beats from the "Back To Life" 12" single. To admire my navel a bit, I really think this is one of my very best remix ideas, although the shorter original mashup I did was probably better than this long version. But I really wanted to breathe more club atmosphere into "Today"….

"Just Teardrops To Me" (Cold Duck's S.O.S. Band Pass)
One day I was listening to The xx and it suddenly sounded like they'd sampled "Just Be Good To Me" by the S.O.S. Band to create backing beats for their version of "Teardrops." I decided to try a mash-up of the two songs, but quickly discovered that the drum patterns of the two are quite different, even though they have a similar timbre. So, I rearranged the beats in "Just" so they'd fit "Teardrops," pulled some handclaps and a synth swell out of the S.O.S. Band's track as well, and dubbed all this into "Teardrops." Re-sample and process parts of The xx and, boom!, a nice dubby remix of "Teardrops." ["Teardrops" was written and originally performed by Womack & Womack.]

Deep Dish & Anousheh Khalili vs. the Cold Duck
"Say Hello (To The Ten Lives Of Regret)"
A fairly straight-forward mashup of Anousheh Khalili's "Ten Lives" with the song it later grew into, "Say Hello," by Deep Dish. Although it was not planned out this way, I like how the "Ten Lives" sections mimic the vocal breaks of a lot of trance music. More than anything else though, I love the piano riff each tune is built around….

Beber, Teasdale & Tolkien
"The Riddle Game" (Cold Duck poetic mashup)
A little whimsy of mine—here I slowed a midtempo track by Beber & Teasdale down to an amble, then overdubbed J. R. R. Tolkien reading from "The Hobbit."

Lucille Clifton meets Brian Eno & Inner Life
"The Cruel Inner Eno" (Cold Duck poetic mashup)
A mashup of Lucille Clifton reading her wonderful poem "Cruelty," set to beats from Inner Life's "I'm Caught Up" and melodies from portions of two tracks from Eno's 77Million album. This was actually slightly popular among italian users of SoundCloud back when I the track posted there. Proof, I feel, that Italy likes its disco somewhat demented (like most of Benny Benassi's productions).
Joan Armatrading meets Alucard
"Save Me (When Two Hearts Collide)" (Cold Duck mashup)
I got the idea for this mix watching the penultimate episode of "Oz," which makes extremely effective use of the old folk song by Armatrading. But I wanted an update (of course), so here I take the vocals from Armatrading's original and dub then over an instrumental trance track by Alucard.
Roger Goode featuring Dylan Thomas & Tasha Baxter
"(To Begin) In The Beginning" (Cold Duck poetic mashup)
A mashup I made of Dylan Thomas reading from his "Under Milkwood" set to the Gabriel & Dresden dub mix of "In The Beginning" by Roger Goode & Tasha Baxter.

Allen 'n' Mike
"A Spooky Supermarket" (Cold Duck poetic mashup)
A mashup I made of Allen Ginsberg reading his "A Supermarket In California" set to Mike Vandenberg's instrumental trance number, "Spooky."
Oakenfold featuring Eddie Arnold
"Save The Last Smoke For Me" (Cold Duck mashup)
Here I overdub portions of various cigarette ads from long, long ago onto a music bed fashioned out of Paul Oakenfold's "Save The Last Trance For Me." Some of the ads feature country music legend Eddie Arnold hawking the joys of tobacco. I was unable to finish this mix for a long time, but then a certain bookstore canned my sad ass after a decade of hard work, and I quit smoking the same day. Within a week I'd finished this ode to a habit long gone by….
Madonna & Public Enemy featuring Melvin B. Tolson
"A Broken Phonograph" (Cold Duck poetic mashup)
A mashup I did of "Justify My Love," the Public Enemy track which Lenny Kravitz used as backing beats for the Madonna song, and a poem by Melvin B. Tolson.
