Tayari Jones on Kirk Larsen
Recently she wrote about one of our own undergraduate English majors, Kirk Larsen, describing him as "one of my genius undergraduates." If you follow that link, you will see why Kirk, a junior, deserves that epithet.
Readers of this blog may know Kirk from his witty posts at The Colonialist, which we have just added to our own blogroll (at right).

Edward P. Jones to be Inaugural Wang Visiting Professor in Contemporary English Literature
A DC resident, Mr. Jones won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2004 for his stunning novel The Known World. Set in rural Virginia before the Civil War, this vividly imagined and beautifully composed book centers around a plantation where a freed slave has purchased slaves of his own. The Known World is an emotionally wrenching and complex meditation upon racism, humanity, memory, and the power of art. Mr. Jones is also the author two collections of short stories set in Washington DC, Lost in the City (2004, winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award) and All Aunt Hagar's Children (2006). Mr. Jones has been awarded numerous other literary prizes as well as a MacArthur Fellowship.
More information on Jones (including a short but thorough bio) can be found here.
Mr. Jones will be in residence during the spring semester of 2009. He will teach an advanced creative writing course, lead a literary reading group for undergraduates, and give at least one public reading.
Created through the generosity of Albert Wang, the Wang Visiting Professor in Contemporary Literature allows the Department of English in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences to bring to campus a prominent scholar or author for a residency of at least a semester. In honor of our home in Washington, DC, and in recognition of the strengths and mission of GW's English Department, the emphasis of this author's work will typically be on literature within a cosmopolitan and international context. Literary achievement of the highest caliber, Edward P. Jones's work fits this description admirably. We are honored to have him at GW.

Featured Alumnus: Ivan Kander
During my time at GW, I was a very proud English major. I thoroughly enjoyed all my classes on modern and historic literature, and I relished the camaraderie between the professors and students. However, when I wasn't analyzing literary texts in the classroom, I was pursuing a strong interest in filmmaking and video production. Through lots of trial and error, I taught myself the how to edit video, design for print, and develop content for the web.
In turn, when I graduated from GW in 2007, I landed a position with JuiceBox Design Communications -- a boutique video production and design firm located in Northern Virginia. My time at JuiceBox has given me invaluable experience in the world of digital video. Currently, I serve as secondary camera operator on documentary style shoots as well as an assistant video editor and junior graphic designer for our in-house productions.
In my spare time, I cohost, shoot, edit, and produce a weekly movie review podcast entitled "Worst Movie Ever!", which can be downloaded for free via iTunes or through my personal website, www.lucky9studios.com. Also, I'm currently preparing to direct a short film that I hope to submit to the DC Independent Film Festival.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my wonderful professors at the GW English department. Throughout my time there, I was always impressed with their intelligence (a level of intellect to which I can only aspire) and insight. Often people find it odd that I graduated with a degree in English, yet I'm pursuing a career field that seems completely unrelated. Well, to these detractors I simply relate that English has afforded me a dynamic skill set, from the ability to organize information rationally to strong critical thinking skills. And, most importantly, it related the simple but important fact that -- when it comes down to it -- there is just no substitute for being able to tell a good story, regardless of the medium.
We in the English Department are happy to hear that you are having such success, Ivan, and wish you the best in the future.

Cultural Diversity in the British Middle Ages
"This intriguing collection of essays sets out to trouble the myth of the English nation, calling into question the wholeness, autonomy, insularity, and inevitability of the political entity we now call the British Isles. Cohen's 'infinite realms project' recasts the island (the symbol of totality and autonomy) as an archipelago (a symbol of fragmentation and interdependence) whose current political configuration can in no way simply be read back into the past. The essays, on texts both familiar and arcane, not only invite us to rethink the textual canons of Great Britain's four main ethnic groups, but more radically to interrogate the fictiveness of political identity itself. This is not just another collection touting 'cultural diversity' among hypostasized identities; these essays invite us to reimagine political collectivities, rethinking the ways in which they encounter one another, clash, assimilate, and reform around new identities."--Laurie A. Finke, Kenyon College and co-author of King Arthur and the Myth of History

A new five day truce between Israel and Hamas is holding firm despite an earlier series of late night rocket launches by militants followed by retaliatory Israel air strikes.
The new ceasefire, agreed in Cairo on Wednesday close to the midnight deadline for the previous 72-hour one to run out, prompted a return to northern and eastern areas by several hundred Palestinians who had left their homes the previous night fearing a resumption of the conflict.
The new pause is supposed to allow for more time for Egyptian mediators to secure agreement on a more durable truce to end a war which has seen a reported 1,945 Palestinian casualties - including an unusual number of families killed in strikes on their homes - and 67 Israeli deaths, the majority of which were soldiers. Around 16,000 housing units in Gaza have been destroyed or severely damaged.
Video: Truce holds after initial worries
As Israel's cabinet prepared to meet today to discuss the negotiations - and a reported slowdown in US arms shipments because of administration concerns over the military's four week campaign in Gaza - a senior Hamas negotiator Khalil al-Hayya told reporters in Gaza City that "there is still a real chance to clinch an agreement."
Mr al-Hayya said at Shifa Hospital - which Hamas has been persistently using in the past month for its public appearances, apparently on security grounds - that the "enemy" - Israel - were "very difficult" to negotiate with because they were causing delays and "trying to gain time." But although the current Egyptian government had hitherto been noted for its hostility to Hamas, he was at pains to praise "our brothers", the Egyptian mediators, and said they "are entering a good effort and we wish them success in this negotiation battle."

Reuters quoted an unnamed Palestinian official as saying that while resisting Hamas demands for a new sea port and a rebuilt airport, Israel had conditionally agreed in principle to narrow Gaza's border "buffer zone" to allow farmers to reach more of their land and gradually to extend the current three mile fishing limit. But it was also seeking guarantees that any easing of the blockade would not be used by Hamas for military imports.
Some Palestinians were cautious in their hopes that the ceasefire would lead to a more lasting peace agreement. At a UN school in Jabalya, Amjad al Wahdan, 26, his wife and three children have been sheltering for three weeks. He said his Beit Hanoun house had been somewhat damaged but "after the war I can fix it. But I don't want to go back to do it now and then have it knocked down in two days. I will do it when there is a permanent truce. Five days doesn't guarantee anything."Reuse content

If Florence Welch boasted a Voice so powerful at Glastonbury that it warranted its own capital letter, then Regina Spektor should make a call to her manager. Because while Florence has lungs so capacious she can distort the most hardy of sound systems, Regina has the range, the power, the vocal nuance and the intelligence to trounce her. In a "sing-off", Spektor would win hands-down.
And that virtuoso prowess was on display in abundance at this, the first of three concerts to be held in a tent next to Hyde Park's Serpentine Gallery. Those attending were treated to various warm-up acts as well as the main event, in a mini-festival-type setting that was fenced off from the riff-raff.
Eventually, several hundred of London's best-attired and sophisticated gig-goers crammed into a sweaty, dark venue to heroine-worship a 29-year-old, Soviet-born, highly-educated anti-folk New Yorker. As you do.
People love Spektor for her multifaceted eccentricities. At one point she is singing about a "poor little rich boy" reading Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald, the next she's whacking the furniture for the sound it makes.
Spektor is cosmopolitan incarnate. Born in Moscow to a violinist and music professor, her family emigrated to the US during perestroika. The burgeoning kook then studied under Sonia Vargas, a professor at the Manhattan School of Music, and spent a further four years honing her skills in another New York music college. She had time out at a butterfly farm as well as a spell in Tottenham (from the sublime to the bathetic). She then became part of the East Village's anti-folk movement, and her two most recent albums, 2006's Begin to Hope and this year's Far have both been critically well-received.
Tonight, Spektor bounced on like she was a 12-year-old performing at a barmitzvah, telling the crowd how amazing it was to be there before hunching over her piano. The acoustics in the tent weren't great; those who sidled in at the front to get a sidelong look were by far the most advantaged. At the back the lyrics were barely audible – and they are half the reason to listen to her.
But the crowd went wild as Spektor began with "Folding Chair" – "Just come and open up your folding chair next to me/My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze" – moving through an eclectic set with reggae, folk, pop and rock influences.
Other highlights were "Blue Lips", and "On the Radio"; as well "Laughing With God", the latter potentially a witty take on the capriciousness of an agnostic, or maybe Spektor was just saying that blasphemy isn't funny. People happily sang along to "Poor Little Rich Boy", the story of a middle class lad who moans when he has nothing really to moan about. "That Time" went down equally well, featuring the line "Hey I remember that time when I would only read Shakespeare", which presumably prompted much tittering of self-recognition at the back.
An extended encore included "Us", "Ghost" and "Fidelity", a treatise on not letting go in a relationship until you really love somebody, of which most people can dredge up memories ("I never love nobody fully, always one foot on the ground"). It's mind-blowingly obvious that Spektor has a college-load of talent. Listening to her songs in the privacy of one's home is enjoyable, but live, surrounded by her sometimes self-satisfied fans, is a different matter.
Tonight, these revellers screamed Spektor's name as though they were slowly drowning and were crying for someone to lend a hand. Others walked away saying: "This really isn't my cup of tea." At the end, I found myself somewhere halfway between the two.

Simple Ways To Save Big Money On Your Wedding's Food And Beverage Budget
According to the Knot, the average wedding in the United States costs around $32,641. If your wedding budget is a little more modest, chances are you're looking for ways to cut costs without sacrificing the elegance and beauty of your big day. In addition to the dress and flowers, for many engaged couples, one of the biggest wedding day expenses is the food and beverages. Here are a few simple ways you can save big money on the drinks and food at your wedding: Choose Your Menu Wisely Restricting your menu to two to three entrée choices is a great way to save money. However, there is another way to stretch your dollar even further. If you're keeping your menu simple by offering three popular entrée choices, beef, chicken or fish, here are some ways to keep your costs down even more: Avoid Fresh Salmon and Lobster – Although they both taste amazing, fresh caught lobster and salmon are both very pricey. Instead, choose fish that is fresh, but less expensive, such as rainbow trout or halibut. Stay Away from Anything Stuffed – A stuffed chicken breast is a tasty option, but also typically more expensive. This is because it is more labor intensive for the catering staff to stuff and prepare the breast. Instead, choose a chicken entrée that can be prepared in less time and with less expensive ingredients. Choose a Less Expensive Cut of Beef – Finally if you choose beef as your main entrée, stay clear of the most expensive cuts and instead, look for options that taste amazing, but are more cost effective. For example, a well-prepared sirloin or flat iron steak will make a memorable meal that won't break your wedding budget. Consider Serving a Wedding Breakfast or Brunch Buffet The majority of weddings follow a very traditional timeframe: an afternoon ceremony and evening reception. If you're looking to save money on your food and beverage budget, considering changing up your timeline a bit and hosting a morning wedding and reception. Not only is this more memorable, but you will be able to stretch your food and beverage dollar by hosting a simple breakfast or brunch buffet. There are a multitude of breakfast and brunch dishes and cocktails that your guests will love and that are very inexpensive. For example, you can ask your caterer to set up an omelet buffet, or offer a variety of seasonal fresh fruits, if you're serving brunch. Keeping Your Liquor Costs Under Control Now that you've chosen a reception menu that you can afford, it is time to move onto another surprisingly pricey expense: the booze. Luckily, there are several ways you can save money without having to sacrifice the fun: Limit Alcohol Availability – Limiting the access to liquor to the cocktail hour and a few hours during the reception will allow you to provide an open bar without breaking the bank. Serve a Signature Drink – Serving a signature cocktail in honor of the bride and groom is a great way to celebrate your big day. The guests will remember the drink, and you can brag about having a cocktail named in honor of your nuptials. Mostly importantly, a signature drink also allows you to keep the cost of liquor under control because you aren't...read more
Feeding A Crowd: Less-Hassle Tips For You
With the major holidays just around the corner, chances are excellent that you will be feeding people outside of your immediate family at some point during the coming weeks or months. While you might be roasting a turkey or glazing a spiral ham for your main holiday meal, it can be difficult to come up with ideas for filling meals in the days before and after the main event. Check out these tips on how to make sure everyone is satisfied during their stay at your home. Serve a Hearty Breakfast Breakfast can be very simple, but it should be filling at the same time. Buy, rent or borrow a coffee maker that can brew 24 or 36 cups of coffee at once; even if you have only eight or ten people staying at your home, if they want more than one cup, you'll be up and down making more coffee if you have only your 10- or 12-cup carafe full at any given time. This meal can revolve around bread, muffins and other foods that are easy to prepare in advance. Make them yourself or order a big batch from your local bakery. For the ultimate in ease, place a bowl of fresh apples, oranges and pears in the center of the table for guests to help themselves. If you want to take a bit more time, slice up a couple of cantaloupes or honeydew melons. Rely on Takeout You might not want to spend a lot of money on takeout, but something as simple as pizza can be relatively inexpensive and satisfying. If you're in a hurry, you can even order your chosen fare online, at sites such as http://picklemans.com, and schedule delivery for a time that is convenient. Paying for it via credit card ahead of time allows your guests to simply open the door and accept the food without feeling awkward over who should pay for what. (Be sure to include a tip, either via cash in an envelope by the front door or by charging it to your credit card at the time of your order!) If you don't want to serve just pizza, make a big tossed salad or order some wings or garlic bread to serve alongside the pie. Don't forget beverages! Try mixing a bottle of lemon-lime soda with a few cups of bottled fruit punch and a half-gallon of lime or raspberry sherbet in a large punch bowl. Whether or not you add spirits is up to you. Put Your Guests to Work As a good host or hostess, you should, of course, expect to bear the brunt of the extra chores and cleaning. This does not mean that your guests get off totally scot-free, however. A good guest should offer to help, and you should graciously accept in most cases. If someone asks if they can help, good jobs to assign might include loading or unloading the dishwasher, peeling potatoes, making a salad or setting the table. When it comes to mealtimes, it's perfectly acceptable to ask your guests to help themselves some of the time. For example, if you have a variety of breads, cold lunch meats, raw vegetables, canned soups and potato chips, it's fine to show your visitors what you have and suggest that they help themselves to...read more
Basic Dance Etiquette for Restaurants With Live Music
Have you ever gone out to dinner and felt unsure if the venue you are dining at encourages or frowns upon dancing along? If a a restaurant brings in live music to entertain their guests, they most likely want you to enjoy yourself. For many people, that means dancing. However, before you kick off your shoes and swing your partner around your table, you should consider these basic rules for maintaining an atmosphere you and other diners can enjoy. Utilize the Dance Floor Most restaurants that offer dinner and dancing will have a designated dance floor. If you feel inspired to dance, you should make your way to the dance floor as opposed to dancing near your table. You may feel shy about being the first couple on a dance floor or simply want to dance for one song. However, this can cause issues for your servers, who will have to find alternative routes to deliver food to tables if you are in their way. If a restaurant does not have a designated dance floor, you may notice that the servers avoid using paths between certain tables, making it an okay place to dance. Also, some restaurants only encourage dancing after a certain hour, when they rearrange the tables to create a dance floor. If you are unsure of where or when you should dance, you should ask your server and they can let you know the best places. Finish Your Meal Before Getting Swept Away by the Music Dancing while you wait for your meal to be brought to your table can be a good way to pass the time. However, once your food has been brought, you should concentrate on enjoying your meal before you move onto the dance floor. Eating your food as it is brought ensures that it will be the correct temperature and taste its best. It is also polite for you to be at your table when your server brings your food so you can make any necessary adjustments or additions to your order. Once you have finished your meal, you may want to move to the bar if you plan to stay and enjoy the music. This allows other diners to be served while you are dancing. However, if the restaurant is not crowded, you may be able to keep using your table. It is polite to ask your server if you should move. Don't Bring Food or Drink Onto the Dance Floor Dining and dancing can be a great combination, but if you bring food or drink onto the dance floor, things can get sticky quickly. Dropping food or drink on the dance floor creates a slipping hazard for other dancers. If you feel thirsty or your meal has arrived at your table, you should take a break from dancing and enjoy your meal or beverage at your table. Feel Free to Show Appreciation for the Band Most bands and musicians are paid directly by the restaurant and do not expect tips. However, it is considered polite to occasionally offer applause for the music, if you appreciate it. If the band does have a tip jar, it is considered appropriate to leave a small tip when you are leaving the restaurant. If you do not often dine at restaurants with...read more
7 Tips for Keeping Your Toddler Tidy While Dining Out
Treating your toddler to a night out in a restaurant can be a fun and exciting experience. However, it can also be messy, especially if you opt for foods that tend to have a lot of sauces or be difficult for toddlers to handle. If you are taking your toddler out to an Italian restaurant in particular, try these seven tips for keeping them neat, clean, and under control. Ask for Less Sauce There are plenty of Italian dishes that are served with little or no sauce. Pasta can be tossed with cheese and vegetables instead of bolognese. Often, lasagna has less sauce than stuffed manicotti. If your little one loves playing in pasta sauce, you can ask for less sauce to be served with their dish. Choose White or Clear Sauces While tomato-based sauces can be delicious, they also tend to leave red marks on toddlers' fingers, cheeks, and clothing. While dining out with a little one, be a bit adventurous and order a different kind of sauce. You can usually get butter or oil, a cream based sauce, or a pesto, all of which tend to wipe off more easily throughout the meal. Cut Up Large Noodles Watching your toddler slurp spaghetti can be hilarious while you are at home. However, when you are out it can be distracting and even embarrassing. To make eating easier for your child, cut up their food into small, manageable bites that they can pick up easily with a fork or spoon. They will have plenty of time to practice cutting their own food when they are at home. Give Your Child a Few Bites at a Time Watching your precious child dump a bowl full of spaghetti over their head is almost a rite of passage for many parents, however, you don't want that to happen at a restaurant and you never know when a toddler might get the idea that throwing a full plate of food on the ground or over themselves is fun. When you order your child's food, ask for a small, empty plate. You can cut up a few bites and put them on the plate, filling it up again when those are gone. Bring Your Own High Chair Even if the restaurant you are going to has a high chair, it may be in use by another child, so it is best to bring your own travel chair. Your child will feel most comfortable if they are in a high chair they are familiar with, and you will be at east knowing what has been used to sanitize the eating tray. If your child is using their own high chair, you can skip plates altogether and put bites of food directly onto their tray, which will help contain their potential mess even more. Bring a Few Special Toys While your child is eating, you should look for signs that they are done. When they start playing with their food as opposed to eating it or begin dropping food on the floor, it is a good idea to take their food away from them. Have a few special toys that your child only plays with while you are dining out on hand to amuse your child while your party finishes their meals. Sit When the...read more
5 Unique Ways To Give Local Restaurant Gift Cards
Giving a gift card can be a little underwhelming when compared to opening an actual present. Luckily, instead of just handing someone over a card, there are unique ways to spruce up the gift a little. By adding an extra touch, the card can come off as more thoughtful and sincere. When you purchase gift cards for the best bar and grill in town, there are five unique ways to give the card. Each method caters to the restaurant theme while giving you ideas for holidays, birthdays, and other special events. Restaurant To-Go Container When you purchase the gift card at the local restaurant, request a bag and a to-go container. This allows you to serve up the gift card like you're giving leftovers from the actual restaurant. When you're requesting the bag, look for restaurants that have their names and logos on the bag. A small to-go container is ideal to fit the gift card. To prevent it from sliding around, add in some tissue paper. This also helps add a festive touch to the gift giving. Gift Card Date Night Package Instead of just supplying a gift card for dinner, you can make it a complete package by adding gift cards to other businesses in the area. The date night package can also include gift cards to places for desserts, movies, or other forms of entertainment like bowling. It's a good idea to package these gift cards in a basket or box so that they are presented well. If this is a gift for a significant other, then consider adding the gift cards to a special gift like a bouquet of flowers. It's a great way to offer a date night and feature the bar and grill gift card of your choosing. Digital Gift Cards A lot of restaurants now offer digital gift cards that can be emailed or printed. Instead of forwarding the gift card to a person, you can still give it to them in person. By saving the digital gift card as a PDF file, you can place it on a flash drive and give the flash drive as a present. Take things a step further by presenting the gift card on a novelty food flash drive. Food flash drives include different shapes like a hamburger, slice of pizza, or a sushi roll. The food theme will be evident when they receive the flash drive and then they can be surprised even more with the gift card that is digitally loaded onto it. Gift Card Clue Game Instead of giving the present away instantly, you can add a little mystery to the gift giving. With a restaurant, there are a number of different ways to do this. Each method can add a nice creative touch to your gift. Menu Pieces: Grab a copy of the restaurant's to-go menu. Cut out difference pieces of the menu and paste it on a sheet of paper. The person can then use those pieces to try and guess the restaurant they are receiving a gift card for. Digital Map Scavenger Hunt: Write down clues on to how to find the location of the gift card when searching on a digital map. This can include exact coordinates or a variety of directions like "Follow the river until you reach...read more

Based out of Columbus, Ohio, experimental pop band Way Yes began in the early part of 2010 as a collaboration between multi-instrumentalists Glenn Davis and Travis Hall. They were soon joined by Maxwell Lewis and drummer Timothy Horak, and the band cultivated a richly eclectic sample-based pop sound that drew from the blissful, trippy energy of Animal Collective, the avant experimentalism of the Books, and the solid tropical pop hooks of Vampire Weekend. They released the Herringbone EP in 2010, following the next year with both the Oranjudio 7" and Walkability EP. Tog Pebbles, their first proper album, was released in 2013. ~ Fred Thomas

This review is from: PNY 32GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model P-SDHC32G10-GE
Does as described as far as I can tell.
Could not read the code for the free movie download in package.
Other Thoughts:
Used it in Olympus PEN Camera during a 1 week mountaineering trip where temps reached -35C. Card did not fail and the limited shots and 720P HD video that I was able to take (because it was usually too cold to think about pictures or the lens had too much ice on it) were still on card when when we returned. So far, so good.

|Cleavant Derricks
|The Crying Man
Rembrandt Lee Brown is a fictional character played by Cleavant Derricks on the science fiction television show Sliders. In 1994, Rembrandt was living in San Francisco. Rembrandt is a musician, whose stage name is The Crying Man because of his ability to "cry real tears" on stage. It is stated by Wade in Summer of Love that Rembrandt is a Gemini; however, a "slide online" feature of the Sci Fi Channel's Sliders website listed Rembrandt's birthdate to be March 4, 1955. He served time in the US Navy, and he is the only character to remain with the show for the whole series. He was the main character during the fifth season of Sliders.
Rembrandt was going to make a comeback on September 27, 1994 when he was going to sing the national anthem at a San Francisco Giants baseball game. On his way to the stadium, Rembrandt was pulled into Quinn Mallory's sliding vortex along with his Cadillac. Rembrandt was the only of the original four sliders who didn't choose to slide and had no background in science. At the beginning, he strongly resented Quinn for accidentally pulling him into the vortex. However, Quinn and Rembrandt later became good friends.
Wade and Rembrandt were able to slide to Earth Prime in 1997 or 1998. However, the Kromaggs quickly took over that world and captured them. The Kromaggs threatened to send Wade to a breeder camp on another world if she didn't tell them how to find Quinn, whose independent development of sliding would allow them to invade their own homeworld, Kromagg Prime. Rembrandt couldn't tell them what he didn't know, so Wade was sent to the breeder camp. A month after Wade was taken, Quinn and fellow slider Maggie Beckett freed Rembrandt from the Kromagg prison. After this experience, he had strong guilty feelings towards what happened to Wade, as well as anger toward the Kromaggs.
Rembrandt is the only character who stayed in the show from the first to the last episode. He had to see the death of Maximillian Arturo as well as deal with the fates of Wade Welles and Quinn and Colin Mallory.
In the final episode, "The Seer", Rembrandt found a biological weapon there that he intended to use against the Kromagg invaders on Earth Prime. At the same time, a psychic (who already knew a lot about the Sliders, suggesting that the psychic's powers might be real) predicted that the next time the Sliders would slide, they would die. Rembrandt decided to slide alone for this slide because the Kromagg sliding equipment being used was heavily damaged and would only accommodate one person. The others believed they might have altered the future predicted by the psychic by having only Rembrandt slide instead of all four of them. The seer died before he could answer them.
Music career[edit]
Rembrandt Brown has a career as a musician. He is called The Crying Man because he cries real tears on stage. Some of his songs include:
- Cry Like a Man
- Tears in My 'Fro
- Love Explosion
- Head-Butt Me
- Weeping Wall of Tears
- Explosion of Love
- Who Stole My Woman?
- I'd Pawn My Gold Crown For You (hit in an alternate universe)
Rembrandt used to sing with a group called The Spinning Topps (parody of The Four Tops) with three other members. His last performance with the Spinning Topps was in December 1986 (Reference: Into the Mystic).

text: comptroller Maryland Revenue Estimates Down By Don Rush • Mar 10, 2016 official photo ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland revenue estimates have been revised down by $51.4 million for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. The state's Board of Revenue Estimates announced the revisions Wednesday. Officials say the less-than-expected revenue indicates consumers are still being cautious. Comptroller Peter Franchot says the state continues to see "lackluster growth in wages and minimal growth in high-paying jobs." He says "very weak sales" during the holiday shopping season are part of the reason for the revenue drop off. Comptroller Job Could Be Eliminated in Kent County By Don Rush • Feb 2, 2016 creative commons DOVER, Del. (AP) - Kent County Levy Court is pushing to eliminate the last remaining county comptroller position. The Delaware State News reports the court is looking to eliminate the position before its current term ends in 2017. County commissioners believe the position is now obsolete. Commissioner George "Jody" Sweeney says the county would save about $150,000 to $155,000 per year if the position is eliminated. MD Comptroller Offers Measures to Fight Tax Fraud By Don Rush • Dec 2, 2015 official photo ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Comptroller Peter Franchot says Maryland needs to strengthen its laws to fight rising cases of tax fraud. Franchot said Tuesday he will ask lawmakers in the upcoming session to improve his agency's ability to enforce the tax code and protect taxpayers from identity theft. He says legislation is needed to keep up with "rapidly-increasing fraud schemes and fast-changing threats to sensitive data." MD Comptroller Promotes Tax-Free Week By Don Rush • Aug 4, 2015 official photo BALTIMORE (AP) - Comptroller Peter Franchot is highlighting the upcoming tax-free week in Maryland. Franchot will be in Baltimore to meet with retailers and local officials to discuss Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week. It begins Sunday and runs through Aug. 15. Qualifying clothing and foot wear prices $100 or less will be exempt from Maryland's 6 percent sales tax. Franchot will be promoting the upcoming tax-free week at various events throughout the week in Queenstown, Annapolis, Bethesda and Waldorf. Maryland Revenues Hold Steady By Don Rush • Mar 12, 2015 Don Rush ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - New revenue estimates for the state of Maryland won't require a downward adjustment of projections, but there aren't any extra dollars, either. The Maryland Board of Revenue Estimates released unchanged revenue estimates on Wednesday. Board members say that's positive compared to the last two revisions last year, which required them to note Maryland didn't bring in as much revenue as they had projected. General fund revenues are expected to be about $15.7 billion for fiscal year 2015 and $16.2 billion for fiscal year 2016. Sen. Mathias to Push for Md. Schools to Start After Labor Day By Don Rush • Jan 16, 2015 Don Rush ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - A Maryland lawmaker says he will introduce a bill to start Maryland public schools after Labor Day. Sen. James Mathias, a Worcester Democrat, made the announcement at a Thursday news conference with Comptroller Peter Franchot and Gov.-elect Larry Hogan, who both support the idea. Ocean City Mayor Richard Meehan also appeared at the Annapolis news conference to support the later start date. Supporters say prolonging summer vacation by between five and 10 days would create more family time and help Maryland businesses. Early Voting Begins Today in Maryland By Don Rush • Jun 12, 2014 Don Rush ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Early voting is starting for Maryland's primary races. Voters registered with the Democratic or Republican party can cast ballots from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday. Early voting continues through June 19. The state's June 24 primary is unusually early this year. The date was moved up from September to comply with federal rules requiring states to send members of the military and other Americans overseas ballots.

The proposed work is to continue studies of lipid metabolism in diverse bacteria some of which are human pathogens. Although many aspects of bacterial lipid metabolism were first worked out in the paradigm Escherichia coli, other bacteria differ from E. coli in various aspects. A focus will be on the last step of the fatty acid elongatin cycle, the enoyl-ACP reductase reaction, which is catalyzed by a set of very diverse proteins. Since fatty acids are an essential component of bacterial membrane lipids, several of these enzymes are the targets of antimicrobials. A second focus will be on the mechanisms of synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, an essential component of the membrane lipids of most bacteria. A major puzzle is the mechanism of unsaturated fatty acid synthesis in the Clostridia, which include a number of serious human pathogens. Further investigations of the mechanisms of synthesis of the fatty acid-derived vitamins, biotin and lipoic acid, which are essential enzyme cofactors in all three domains of life, are proposed. Prior work provided the E. coli synthetic pathway in E. coli. However, some bacteria make these cofactors but lack one or more of the proteins used by. Current work is focused on the Firmicutes which include the Bacilli, Clostridia, Staphlococci and thus many important pathogens. In the case of lipoic acid synthesis Bacillus subtilis requires four proteins to synthesize this cofactor whereas E. coli required only two proteins. One of the essential proteins is a key subunit of an enzyme of single carbon metabolism and this interplay will be studied. The early part of biotin synthesis in Bacillus subtilis differs greatly from the pathway used by E. coli and this pathway will be dissected. A third pathway to be studied is that found in the a-proteobacteria (e.g., Brucella) which seems a variation of the E. coli pathway. Study of the mechanisms regulating the synthesis of the various biotin and lipoic acid synthetic pathways will also be done. The E. coli and Bacillus subtilis biotn regulatory systems are quite novel and not fully understood. Further study of these regulatory mechanisms is proposed. Finally, a new class of bacterial quorum sensing molecules the Diffusible Signal Factor (DSF) fatty acids were recently discovered. These are cis-2-enoic acids of medium chain length which trigger breakdown of the biofilms formed by diverse bacteria and some fungi. Prior work demonstrated how the Burkholderia cenocepacia DSF is synthesized, but that enzyme is not fully understood or conserved in some other DSF- producing bacteria. Study of these pathways and mechanisms will use a wide array of genetic, biochemical, molecular biological, chemical and structural approaches.
Fatty acids are an essential component of the bacterial cell envelope and are precursors of two essential vitamins. Studies of how these molecules are made provides targets for discovery of new antibiotics that block these processes resulting in death of the bacteria. Fatty acids are also used to coordinate bacteria to cause infections. !

Ugly Labeling Fix
When you have a printed circuit board (PCB) made you can have markings and labels put on the board using screen printing. This labeling is often just referred to as the silkscreen. However the methods of silkscreen labeling are generally not as sharp as the photo-imaging methods used to pattern the solder mask. For this reason I generally like to use the solder mask layer for labeling more than the silkscreen layer. That being said, on the last batch of LCD charger boards the solder mask looked awful! This is definitely not the norm, but it made me think that I should really change the way I do labeling so that it is not so dependent on the quality of the solder mask. My solution came from the fact that the etching of the copper is the most precise (it's an actual spec you pay for). Now the copper defines the edges and the sharpness of the label is no longer dependent on the quality of the solder mask (or silk screen for that matter).
8/4/2014 12:25:38 am
now if only I can find enough space in my circuit to put in copper labels...
8/4/2014 01:17:31 am
Looks great. I guess the only down-side would be exposed copper that might potentially short something, or ground out if something conductive gets in there. A final coat of very clear lacquer over those masked areas would solve that issue.

Just put some conformal coat. should do the trick
Paul Allen
8/4/2014 01:37:26 am
If you will notice, by having it etched in the copper the label is no longer attached to the GND fill, so it's actually less likely to cause shorts to ground. That being said it is still exposed conductive metal, so if that is what you were getting at then I can see your point. In the end the reality is there are usually lots of places to shot things when you are using an exposed PCB, so caution should be exercised anyways. :)

What is the purpose of the copper ring around the edge of the board? I've noticed quite a few circuit boards that have that, and I'm not quite sure what the purpose is.
8/4/2014 12:44:46 pm
Generally for ESD and can also help with EMI if its done correctly.

You won't have to show this sissy who wears the pants, as he obviously prefers skirts, stockings and blouses.

Sarah really becomes involved and now it's time to lube Stephanie's ass and break right in.

This guy enjoys role playing, so once he stays home alone, he uses make-up and wears female sleepwear turning into his other self. So meet Elisabeth, Mary's sissy boyfriend and see what they're doing in the bedroom. Mary finds her guy crossdressed again, so she slips into her strap-on harness and gives this sissy the treatment he well deserves. She fills his mouth and drills his tight ass until he screams like a girl.

Sometimes it's sexy female clothes and something hard shoved up the ass that these sissy males secretly dream of. Just the feel and look of lacy, nylon and silky fabric can make them horny, and Melissa is the one who knows it very well. This sissy guy gobbles on the strap-on protruding from under Myra's see-thru nighty and gets on top of it to ride the rubber cock with his lubed butt.

We use this in our GSP's ears once a week, before his bath. He swims in our pool daily and it's kept his ears nice and healthy. AND smelling good! :-)
I was looking for an ear cleansing solution. This comes in a good size bottle, the solution doesn't irritate my dog's ears. Does it jobs well and on top of that, great smelling too.
At first, I thought Oti-Soothe was just a cleaning aid for cleaning my German Shepherd and Schipperke's ears. After using it for about 3 months in a row, it seems that their ears are no longer accumulating so much crud anymore. Also, it leaves their ears with a nice, gentle smell.

The Christian Science Monitor looks at whether the United States should export natural gas to solve the issue of a long-term glut of the fuel.
The CSM writes: "As far as the natural gas industry is concerned, a shift to exporting is a no-brainer. However, this is easier said than done. Before the shale gas boom and the fracking revolution, the US thought it was destined to be a natural gas importer; as such, it does not have the necessary export terminal infrastructure."

Unmistakable Hollowbody Tone Meets Fast Playability
Pick up the Gibson Memphis ES-390 hollowbody electric guitar, and your playing will be instantly inspired. Even before you plug into your amplifier, this guitar sings. The ES-390 sports the true hollowbody construction of an ES-330, in the lightweight body size of Gibson's ES-339. The ultra-comfortable historic neck profile has been slimmed down a bit for even faster, smoother playability. And with dual Mini Humbuckers, you'll find it easy to dial in iconic hollowbody tones with the Gibson Memphis ES-390 electric guitar.Gibson Memphis ES-390 Hollowbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
- Amazingly lightweight and comfortable to play
- Tonal flexibility from Mini Humbuckers
- Thinner neck for an incredibly smooth feel
You'll notice it as soon as you pick up the Gibson Memphis ES-390 - even for a fully-hollow guitar, it's very lightweight and well-balanced. You get the fully-resonant sound you'd expect from a hollowbody, plus a hint of extra midrange grind thanks to its smaller body style.Tonal flexibility from Mini Humbuckers
Plug the ES-390 into your favorite tube amplifier, and you'll be able to make it sing, scream, squeal, and growl any way you like. Two Mini Humbucker pickups each have their own volume and tone controls, which combine with three switching positions to bring you a ton of tonal potential. From warm, vibrant tones at the neck position to aggressive lead sounds at the bridge, it's hard to pull a bad sound out of the ES-390.Thinner neck for an incredibly smooth feel
The 1960s heritage of the Gibson Memphis ES-390 is evident in its thinner neck profile. It's a faster, smoother design that seems to simply stay out of your way no matter what you're playing. Especially if you improvise a lot in your playing, Sweetwater is pretty sure you'll find the neck on the ES-390 one of the most comfortable that you've ever played.Gibson Memphis ES-390 Hollowbody Electric Guitar Features:
- Fully hollowbody construction like an ES-330, with a smaller body size like an ES-339
- Highly figured maple top, back, and sides look gorgeous and sound sweet
- Mid-'60s-style block inlays compliment the '63-style horns
- Mini Humbucker pickups have a wide tonal range with plenty of bite
- Thinned-down neck profile plays incredibly fast and smooth

Researching Your Own Practice by John Mason
Book DescriptionCentral to caring professions such as teaching is the need to notice and be sensitive to the experiences of pupils and teachers. Starting from this position, Researching Your Own Practice demonstrates that in order to develop your professional practice you must first develop your own sensitivities and awareness. One must be attuned to fresh possibilities when they are needed and be alert to such a need through awareness of what is happening at any given time. By giving a full explanation of this theory and a guide to its implementation, this book provides a practical approach to becoming more methodical and systematic in professional development. It also gives the reader a basis for turning professional development into practitioner research, as well as giving advice on how noticing can be used to improve any research, or be used as a research paradigm in its own right. The discipline of noticing is a groundbreaking approach to professional development and research, based upon noticing a possibility for the future, noticing a possibility in the present moment and reflecting back on what has been noticed before in order to prepare for the future. John Mason, one of the discipline's most authoritative exponents, provides us here with a clear, persuasive and practical guide to its understanding and implementation.

Classic sign of headphone addiction there
Thats how i feell with my GR01. I have tried listening to other IEM's since and i always just wanna go straight back to the GR01. Im now a neutral/detail freak.
So can anyone make a straight comparison of R-50 vs. this? Ideally on various sources :)
Nice find, as I had spoiled earlier, GE had a say in it's sound and that certainly gave it a direction.
Better than AKG K3003? O_O
I went back and reread it.Your right.
For those who bought these from eBay, do they have any kind of warranty?
Damn you, damn you to hell !
You know fine well I am going to have to track these down now and try them, given that GR07 Mk.II's are my favourite listening experience so far and that you and I are broadly in agreement on the way things sound, generally :-)
Hmm...in the UK with current exhange rates, those look like £110 to buy from USA ebay and then there will be import duties on top of that. I can see these being £140 by the time they are at my door.
Are they good enough to be a £140 purchase ?
Yes, I'll do that! I also have other questions for him... I think I foresee a pair of these coming my way soon!

3. Call Me Tee, $16.99
Every Arkansan will know the meaning of this tee. It's cute. It's coy. And Hog fans will wear it proudly on game day or Wal-Mart day or lounge-around-the-house day. Basically, all of the days you will find us in this shirt.
4. WPS Stud Earrings, $25
Say you want to show your Hog love in a more subtle fashion. Yes, it's hard to imagine, but believe it or not, such circumstances do exist. We can't think of them of at the moment, but for such occasions, these WPS Stud Earrings are the thing you need.
