2 1. Background The international Argo Information Centre (AIC) is participating in the activities of the Argo Project Office (APO) and of the JCOMM in situ Observing Platform Support centre (JCOMMOPS). The AIC is funded on a yearly basis via voluntary contributions of United States, Canada, France, Australia and United Kingdom. Discussions on the development of JCOMMOPS to new ocean observations components, on its possible relocation and broadening of its staff have been initiated. AST members and AIC current or potential contributors are invited to fully take part to these discussions. 2. TC Activities E. Charpentier moved to WMO in February 2006 and was replaced by H.Viola (from Australia, BOM) in July Hence, From February 2006 to July 2006, the main JCOMMOPS services have been maintained by the Argo TC. During this transitional period the additional work load on the Argo TC has been minimal. Expertise on operating the JCOMMOPS information system is gradually transferred to the new DBCP/SOT TC. Specific training on DBCP/SOT coordination was provided by E. Charpentier. By 2007 the JCOMMOPS synergy should return to a normal mode. It is to be noted that the synergy with the Argo Director has been slow down during the second half of To free time for coordination, communication, analyse and development of value added products the TC would need help in the routine technical and secretariat support. While the Information System is almost finalized the work load required to maintain the system (at all levels) is still substantial and JCOMMOPS doesn t take benefits from a real secretariat support. In 2006, the management of the float database has been gradually rationalized through the use of weekly procedures, reports, and web administration applications. The Argo TC has today appropriate tools to check the status of an active fleet of 2800 units with about 80 new deployments per month. Time spent on this task is reasonable; on average, 1 day per week and another day each month are necessary to keep the float database up to date, taking into account available tools. A particular effort has been made to finalize the new website, and the products provided. New tools have been designed to facilitate the deployment planning and coordination. The following are given practical examples of regular tasks performed by the TC (non exhaustive).
3 Routine Tasks: Daily - Check the information system is working and fix any problems occurring - Answer ( , phone) support requests concerning any aspect of the Argo project - Check meta database content and integrity - Check log files and daily batches worked without error - Recall to notify new float deployments if needed - Notify deployments if needed (for new programmes) - Team work with TC DBCP - Supervise students being trained at JCOMMOPS (if any) Weekly - Maintain up to date Argo Status (add new floats, check float parameters, check potential revivals, inactive floats, beached floats, etc) => write report - Check log files and weekly batches worked without error - Track floats with no data distribution (GTS & GDACs) => write report - Take steps to set up data distribution for DAC-less programmes. - Add pertinent news on the website (Argo websites updates, deployment opportunity, float retrieval stories, new contributions, etc) Monthly - Prepare Argo status maps - Clean float trajectories and archives - Check log files and monthly batches worked fine - Analyse monthly reports, graphs and maps produced, to look for discrepancies. Alert community and/or suggest solutions if needed - Administrative tasks (regarding IOC, JCOMMOPS) Yearly - Coordinate donor programmes (including shipping, technical assistance) - Coordinate retrieval procedures - Think of new ideas and recommendations that could be made to the AST/ADMT to improve overall coordination and effectiveness - Review website content. - Reports to AST, ADMT and DBCP on AIC activities - Beached/Retrieved floats status - Argo implementation - Think of and prepare new training subject(s) for potential students at JCOMMOPS - JCOMMOPS annual budget (IOC, WMO, CLS). Plan future expenditures with DBCP TC. Biennial - Review websites to ensure that they are well targeted and provide the best demonstration of the value of the Argo project - Think of new monitoring and metadata tools Ad hoc tasks - Provide material (statistics, maps, charts, presentations) on demand - Update database/website (Argo programmes, contacts, meetings, etc) - Develop/finalize web applications - Develop/finalize scripts (to check database or produce status files) - Add new metadata to the system (sensors, deployment method, beached floats, deployment plans) - Maintain/Install hardware/software (Administration of 3 servers) - Investigate new floats/programmes to include them in Argo - Represent the "Argo customer", within CLS, if problems occur (to speed up solutions ) - Assist CLS to solve GTS issues
4 - Prepare presentations on Argo, JCOMMOPS, etc - Write general abstracts on Argo (e.g. press releases) - Write letters in collaboration with IOC/WMO to build donor programmes (customs, foreign affairs) and invite new countries to join the Argo project - Mailing Lists maintenance (13 Argo lists + 2 JCOMM and 1 GEO list) - Prepare missions/visits Remark: - TC uses more and more the phone to solve issues Argo s sent in sent in in in in in TC Missions: AST#7 Hyderabad Argo France meeting, Brest IOC/ABE-LOS #6 meeting, Malaga IOC Executive Council, Paris Visit of WMO, Geneva Visit Webb Research, Woods Hole DBCP meeting, San Diego Visit Scripps, Dan Diego ADMT #7, Tianjin Argo Workshop, Ghana Visit Ifremer / IRD / Meteo France, Brest EURO Argo, NAARC #2 meetings, Brest
5 3. AIC Information System a. Background The AIC website is the tip of the AIC Information System iceberg and is used routinely by the TC to achieve various international coordination tasks which require accurate and up to date information management. The system routinely assimilates information from heterogeneous sources, then checked and re-distributed in various ways (see information flow diagram below). AIC Information flow diagram N.B: assimilation of Iridium locations is experimental for now (SAI FTP site or GTS data). In the future the AIC will need a direct access to float locations from a centralized source, as it is today for Argos, to guarantee an operational and independent float tracking. b. Audience Since April 2006 a survey has been conducted to obtain feedback from the Argo data user community. The full results are published in the annex. To the question How well are you satisfied of the AIC services? 84% of respondents replied from Good to Excellent, 14% average and 1 % bad. To the question What improvements would you recommend? some interesting proposals were:
6 - improve website speed and stability (ongoing) - provide hard copies of content to developing countries (ongoing on Argo CDROM) - add a real-time density coverage layer to the interactive map (being finalized) - Add a web form to ask for WMO Ids (being discussed with WMO) - Access to download publications (legal issues) - More FAQs on trivial questions - Better bibliography - More visibility to oxygen pilot project - Forum to answer and discuss questions/doubts about Argo data use ( => These proposals will be considered for future plans of the AIC and This survey was initiated before the release of the new site; it is likely to have a better audience and feedback in the future. In addition the primary target of this survey was not AIC and JCOMMOPS users but Argo data users. Same question has been asked for the Project Office website (and some proposals are included above). It seems that users do not clearly anticipate the content of each site and finally don t really make a difference. A better integration and organization of websites should reply to most of requests. When a user is looking for a specific information, if doesn t exist on one site it exists on the other. A better design of the argo.net portal may be the solution. c. New AIC website The year 2006 marks an important milestone in the AIC development as a new website has been released following 2 years of effort to deploy the system on new hardware and software architectures. The new website was officially released late September. As is expected with any major website upgrade, it will need an additional effort of optimization before reaching a truly stable state. The dynamic web application previously deployed on a low specification WinNT server has been migrated to a more powerful UNIX/MacOSX server and upgraded with many new components. The JCOMMOPS graphical design (produced by the AIC previously) has finally been applied to the new site. The website includes, in particular, a new deployment planning and notification interface (gathering more metadata and deployment plans), an improved float search engine, an improved float details page linked to many national DAC products, more statistics on project development, new maps, new statistics on national/regional contributions, new statistics on floats lifetime, and a photos/pictures gallery.
7 d. New Products Most of the features in the previous website have been improved and many details have been fixed. Some of the new features of the website are: Dynamic Web (See Annex for key links and sample charts) The rotating Argo globe (produced by IOS/Canada) has been removed from the home page for performance reasons (too heavy animated gif). A new picture or map will replace it soon. 1) Argo OPERATIONS Home - New Homepage (visibility to all participating countries and access to national statistics) Implementation - New static page on What is Argo - New page on participating countries including a chronology, a yearly deployment table and a bar chart on active floats and their data distribution. - New deployment notification interface (draft mode, text file loader, more metadata gathered, list of deployment plans per basin, text sent to Argo focal points reviewed, bi-daily export in text file) - User guide for deployment planning issued - New section on retrieval of beached floats (list of beached floats, retrieved floats, safety guide) Monitoring - New statistics on project status - New statistics on national, sub-national contributions (network growth, age distribution, float decay, float models, yearly deployments, link to interactive map) - New float search engine Map Room - new page on Google Earth files - new maps Instrumentation - Float decay chart available for all floats and each float model Data - Statistics on data flow (Internet, GTS) tuned - Support section stand by - to be discussed with AST.
8 Maps 2) COMMON (JCOMMOPS) SECTIONS Platforms - New Float search engine: many more criteria to build the query regarding platform status, deployment, equipments, latest location, data distribution, cycle, lifetime. - Many more fields can be displayed (or hidden) on the query result page - Access to a statistics page for the float group defined (age distribution, drifting/profiling pressure, decay charts) - Platform Inspect page completed (more metadata, links to GDACs, DACs, ARCs products, link to interactive map, Argo netcdf metadata explorer developed) Documents - Links to documents checked and updated, Argo papers and press releases added Meetings - Pages reviewed to allow documents management and access to external web site Gallery - Photos gallery added and gradually enriched. Many high resolution photos gathered and stored for now on the FTP site. To review sources and credits. Help - Site Map added - Google earth files are now produced bi-daily (active & inactive floats, trajectories, beached floats) - Monthly map generation has been automated (near fully) and maps are produced in PNG for the web pages and in PDF for high resolution requirements. - Web Map Services (WMS) are being finalized (GIS interoperability).see key links to generate maps with data layers provided by JCOMMOPS. - New data layer (Argo Deployment Plans) - Global JCOMMOPS interactive map set up: - New coverage layers (density, age) developed (with TC DBCP). To finalize and set up routine update. - The AIC produces on-demand Argo maps as well. - AIC map designed is applied to all JCOMMOPS maps The AIC Toolbar This gadget is unfortunately restricted to Internet Explorer (5.0+) and Firefox (1.01+) users. Amongst other things it permits the user to (see picture above): - search from anywhere on the web with Google search engine - search the AIC database (platforms, contacts, news, documents, glossary) - gain instant access to key links (Argo Project Office, Interactive Map, Planning, Latest status map, Google earth). - gain access to brief Argo news (e.g.: notification of monthly maps release) - gain instant access to an Argo float by its WMO Id - gain instant access to GDACs and national websites (to add ARCs) This toolbar will be gradually enriched with Argonauts proposals. It has been installed by 35 Argonauts.
9 e. Operations The latest web configuration is designed to automatically re-launch a service that has failed. However this does not cover all cases of failures, so another procedure is required to approach the 24/7 services, though for AIC, 24/7 support is not as important as it is for organizations such as data distribution centres. In this regard, the AIC benefits from the CLS logistical support which monitors many operations. Hence, the main services provided on-line, particularly the website and mapping system, are now monitored 24/7 by CLS operators. If services are down, then operators see a warning message on their control screens and can apply the procedure to launch them again. This new procedure will be tested and refined in the following months and AIC services should be fully operational by In 2007 one of the 3 servers will be replaced (6 years old). This will permit to set up the final and ideal architecture for the I.S. The goal is to design a near operational system for which the maintenance could be subcontracted and hence, free working time for TC to focus on coordination and analyse. 4. Deployment Planning Argo is entering a new phase: sustain a complete network. A rational planning of deployments will be fundamental to maintain an optimal coverage and allow an optimal use of ship time. The logistic is still a challenge for Argo. Some areas (particularly in southern ocean) have never been seeded because of the lack of deployment opportunities (see map of all Argo deployment below). Argo can find new deployment opportunities through: - The extension of regional support (as done through donor programmes and ARCs initiatives). - The cooperation with other panels maintaining observation networks (e.g. share plans with DBCP). - The accurate monitoring of the planned cruises. This requires a dedicated technical coordination process.
10 To that end Argo TC replied to POGO request to establish a research cruise database within JCOMMOPS infrastructure and hire a new TC (half time). Unfortunately the proposal was not accepted. But first of all, Argo needs to organize efficiently its own planning. Hence, the AIC took steps to provide appropriate tools to facilitate the planning, including: - Update of the global plans (web pages, text files, maps and GIS files) - Update of the current and planned coverage (see annex) - Update of the current and planned network age (see annex) - Monitoring of float survival rate (see annex) However last information is missing: the spatial dispersion of floats. Such product could be realized in cooperation with an oceanographic centre before integration in the AIC system. The target is to provide a single interface (as the Argo interactive map) permitting to cross all required data layers (Argo plans, DBCP plans, network age/density/dispersion, XBT lines, research cruises, past deployments, etc ) We are not far away of such goal. The AIC notification system has been upgraded to allow more flexibility to load draft plans and update them easily as part of the regional coordination process. Float operators (of the 76 Argo programmes) have been gradually trained to use this new system in the last months and within a year all should be familiarized with it. A document has been issued to summarize this process, guide the users through the web interface and answer frequently asked questions. This user guide will be regularly updated. For the first time we have a view of the global Argo planning for 2007, including around 600 deployment plans. It is hoped that regional coordinators will be able to optimize the deployment strategies in their basin thanks to these tools.
11 5. Data Management The AIC participates in the Argo Data Management Team activities, encouraging standardization, regional collaboration, promoting data flow, and providing specific tools to facilitate data management set up and to monitor the Argo Data System. Assistance for data distribution Some national Argo programmes have not yet developed such capabilities, or have no dedicated funding for data management (focusing e.g. on implementation aspects). In that case, the AIC coordinates the data management set up with voluntary centres ready to take upon the float processing. In practice, such assistance is offered by CLS for the GTS distribution and Coriolis for the GDACs distribution. National Data Centres National contact points, report on-line on the different steps achieved concerning real-time or delayed mode data management. Some new products could be developed to monitor the progresses made on delayed-mode and trajectory files. National Argo websites proposing products on individual floats are now linked with the AIC website (see Annex). Daily monitoring of data distribution Data distribution on Internet (GDACS) and on the GTS is still monitored on a daily basis and is compared to the floats officially notified at the AIC. Some scripts are running daily to retrieve information from Meteo-France (GTS) and Coriolis (GDAC) and then merge it with the AIC float data. The status of data distribution, available on the website, is routinely sent to the ADMT through, including report from MEDS (on GTS duplicates and anomalies), and Coriolis (on metadata files anomalies). Float operators in charge of data management set up are encouraged to use such lists to detect potential omissions and check if data are effectively published through the appropriate channels. A new table has been added on-line regarding the DAC-less floats (directory /gts at GDACs). Metadata The AIC database deals now with more metadata and particularly with the float cycle information impacting lifetime statistics. A netcdf Argo metadata explorer has been plugged into the Platform Detail page and metadata file content can be loaded in the database to augment the information provided by float operators during the deployments notification procedure. It is needed to cross check this information in details before proposing new lifetime charts based on the kilometres of profile. Support A proposal to build a complete Support Centre at the AIC was discussed during the last ADMT meeting and to follow up on AST7 action item 15. Argo TC visited Coriolis this year to see how was set up the user support at Ifremer/Coriolis: 3 items can be identified:
12 - i) direct support to users The idea would be to archive and reply as appropriate to the queries on Argo and particularly on Argo data use. It is to be noted that this is a task manually done by the TC on a daily basis (or by data centres or individuals). So this initiative will permit to integrate, automate, rationalize and archive existing mechanisms. For now the generic address has been set up and points to the TC mailbox. It would be needed to add a second contact on this mailing list to take the relay when Argo TC is unavailable. When a query is received at it could be archived in the database (cut and paste). TC (or alternate) takes step to reply, asking assistance from experts if needed, archive the response. Status can be monitored at any time by AST/ADMT. Record can be tagged as a FAQ for public access. - ii) feedback from data users Today there is no clear mechanism that can relay the feedback from data users to the platform operators, data managers and appropriate Argo mailing lists (see problem on SOLO FSI). The two channels of data distribution (GTS and GDACs) have to be considered. A web based and/or mailing system (as it exists at JCOMMOPS for buoy data) could help. - iii) Communication to users Are the existing mailing lists appropriate to communicate with all data users? Do we need to create a new mailing list? ADMT7 Actions status - AIC to integrate MEDS statistics on GTS problems as well as Coriolis metadata check in the bi-monthly report. DONE - AIC to implement and document a reliable Argo user desk behind the to ensure that all request are processed and to provide history of the request to the ADMT and AST partners. See proposal above. - AIC to monitor the progress on reducing the historical GTS backlog. DONE - AIC to implement periodic statistics to measure the progress on ARGO data management activities. TO DEFINE - AIC to monitor the progress Data flow for delayed mode processing. TO DEFINE - AIC to identify the float without DM operators. TO DO - Argo-traj-dm mailing list to be set up by AIC. DONE 6. International Issues New participants The AIC encourages and coordinates multilateral collaborations through float donations in order to build capacity for new participating countries.
13 The donation contract is still being reviewed by UNESCO lawyers. This year 3 more donor programmes have been initiated: - Dominican Republic (2 floats) - Ecuador (2 floats) - Kenya (5 floats) The AIC (with IOC & WMO assistance) is investigating the possibility of increasing the number of countries supporting Argo in the Caribbean region. A meeting is planned in Morocco to promote Argo to key contacts, identify the potential partners and start up cooperation with USA and possibly France. Philippines and Ivory Coast have expressed there strong will to be associated in donor programmes. Retrieval of beached floats The AIC is likely to be the first contact point in identifying grounded floats and assist, as appropriate, in coordinating communications between all parties in the retrieval procedure. A new Argo label has been produced by Scripps. It is lighter (so that it will not affect float ballasting if the sticker is lost during its mission) and distributed to float manufacturers.

14 A dedicated section of the new website provides the list of beached/grounded floats, a safety guide and the list of retrieved floats. Progresses are tracked through distribution of weekly reports (see table above). Remarks: - TC doesn t proceed to retrieval without clear instructions from float owner. - Retrieval procedure is usually a long and time consuming process but is a good opportunity to strengthen the regional support to the Argo project. - Publishing a new in a local newspaper can help to retrieve the lost float and to promote Argo benefits to coastal people. - Many float are beached in Philippines and the solution may be to send someone there (another reason to develop cooperation with Philippines see above). 7. Communication In 2006 TC participated in the following events and initiatives that contribute to the promotion of the project: - Argo Article in Mercator Newsletter - Argo Article in Thalassa (French magazine) - Argo float shown on French national TV news - Ongoing: educational initiative being prepared with CNES (Argonautica) French national TV is planning to make a video of a float deployment with Ifremer, around the 3000 th float event. Remark: A request as been made by NASA/USA to make a movie of a float deployment as part of a video documentary about the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) project, which involves the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, MIT, and other institutions. 8. Planning Planning for can be summarized as follow: - Continue to address any issue with the new website Highlight the Argo project s good health on the website (participate in the value demonstration of Argo) - Rationalize the update of float database (almost achieved) - Develop tools to assist deployment planning (produce map files of deployment plans and future array status (+ 1 year, etc) (almost achieved) - Develop the Support Centre section - Produce a real-time density coverage layer for interactive map (almost achieved)
15 - Finalize the Web Map Services - prepare a guide. - Improve Argo Portal (to be discussed within the Argo Project Office) - Rationalize the reporting (on progress) Weekly reports to AST, ADMT (on Argo status) Monthly status report to all Argonauts (to do) Yearly report on Argo implementation (to do) - Finalize the float retrieval procedure - Finalize the donor programme and foster participation by new countries - Establish new contacts, e.g. POGO research cruise database to provide better information on deployment opportunities (JCOMMOPS issue) - Improve (modestly) Argo media coverage via direct contacts or educational initiatives - Assist in the promotion of the 3000 th float.
16 Annex 1: Argo Users Survey An on-line survey has been set up by the AIC in May 2006 to gather, during one year, data users and other Argonauts feedback on the quality of the services provided through the global Argo infrastructure, including data distribution centers, Project Office and AIC.

(Adds European Commission declined to comment, details)
By Foo Yun Chee
BRUSSELS, April 7 (Reuters) - Japanese company Suntory Holdings Ltd will win unconditional European Union approval for its $13.6 billion offer for U.S. peer Beam Inc to become the world's third-largest spirits producer, a source said on Monday.
The deal brings together Beam's Jim Beam and Maker's Mark bourbons, Courvoisier cognac and Sauza tequila with Suntory's Yamazaki, Hakushu, Hibiki and Kakubin Japanese whiskies, Bowmore Scotch whisky and Midori liqueur.
Suntory, which makes more than 90 percent of its business in Japan, and other Japanese spirits makers are seeking overseas growth to offset the shrinking domestic market as the population ages. Beam is the No. 4 premium spirits company in the world.
The deal will boost Suntory's share of the U.S. market to 11 percent from less than 1 percent, and give it access to a stronger distribution network in key emerging markets like India, Russia and Brazil.
Rivals Kirin Holdings and Asahi Group Holdings have also made foreign purchases in recent years.
The European Commission has been examining the deal since last month and has set an April 24 deadline for its decision.
"It's expected to be unconditional clearance," said the source who has direct knowledge of the case.
Commission spokesman for competition policy, Antoine Colombani, declined to comment. U.S. regulators nodded the deal through in early March. (Reporting by Foo Yun Chee)

Today, on October 24, Club Penguin turns 8 years old, which is amazing – Club Penguin's been around for a long while. Of course there's a party and another anniversary hat for you to get. And in addition to the party hat, you can also get a background with the old Town, which is pretty cool too, especially for older players. So follow this guide to get the most of this nice party; it lasts until October 31.
First of all go to the Town and enter the Coffee Shop. Here waddle to the bottom of the room and you will see that next to the anniversary cake there is a party hat; click on it.
Club Penguin will ask you whether you want to pick the item or not; click Yes.
Now go to the camera in the center-right of the room; if you stay in the front of the background, the camera will take a photo of you.
Club Penguin will ask you if you want this item; click Yes.
Now, since you are finished with getting items, you can take a look at the new Yearbook. It is on the same table with the party hat.
That's another year of Club Penguin. Amazing! This is, as always, just a small little party, but yet so important for Club Penguin. You can also meet Aunt Arctic at this party, have fun tracking her.

Fess Parker Winery
2013 Rodney's Viognier
Santa Barbara County
Our estate vineyard, named in honor of Fess' late son-in-law, was planted in 1989 to predominantly traditional Rhone varietal types. The warm days and cool nighttime temperatures at this vineyard allow for a long growing season and consequently, great maturity and flavor development in our grapes.
"Smoke, apricot pit, peach, mint and new oak meld together in the 2013 Viognier Rodney's Vineyard. Layered and succulent in the glass, the 2013 is impeccably balanced from start to finish. The 2013 was done entirely in new oak, which gives the wine much of its shape, texture and persistence." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
"This nose from the actor-turned-vintner's family vineyard shows tight aromas of chalk, rain on cement and lime pith and blossoms. The laser-focused palate holds to the lime-pith lead, also showing ruby-red grapefruit juice, but exercising a lot of clean restraint." ~ Wine Enthusiast

Chocolate Cake W/rasberry Mousse
Baking By CandyLady Updated 21 Jul 2010 , 5:16pm by CandyLady
does anyone have a knockout recipe for a rasberry mouse requested for rehearsal dinner cake? I would appreciate it. Also what type of frosting (white) would you use? I find the butter/crisco powder sugar a bit sweet? thanks and appreciate any suggestions.
I've never made a mousse for a filling, just the raspberry puree. There's a similar recipe on this site, but I've used this one in the past.
I found this mousse recipe that looks pretty good too.
As for the icing. If you're finding the shorting/powdered sugar icings too sweet, you could use a Swiss Meringue or Italian Meringue buttercream. Because they use sugar instead of powdered sugar, they are less sweet and they use butter instead of shortening. I like the swiss meringue myself, and I found it took a lot of flavouring especially if you find it really buttery. The one I like is on this site.
So appreciate it...I have a rasberry buttercream I use all the time which is similar to the italian meringue...but it does not put out a lot as a frosting. Not the same as a mousse but wonderful on a cake...just needs to be refrigerated due to 1 lb of butter and then it gets firm. Dont like as a filling for that reason.

After spending the '80s as an unappreciated jangle pop guitarist with Oh-OK and Lloyd Cole, as well as a solo artist, Matthew Sweet emerged in 1991 as the leading figure of the American power pop revival. Like his British counterparts Teenage Fanclub, Sweet adhered to traditional songcraft, yet subverted the form by adding noisy post-punk guitar and flourishes of country-rock, resulting in an amalgam of the Beatles, Big Star, R.E.M., and Neil Young. Recorded with guitarists Richard Lloyd and Robert Quine, Sweet's third album, Girlfriend (1991), became a word-of-mouth critical and commercial hit over the course of 1992, with its title track reaching the Top Five on the Modern Rock charts. For the next five years, as alternative rock was the dominant commercial force in rock & roll, Sweet became a very popular concert attraction and solidified his reputation as the premiere alternative pop singer/songwriter. His next two records, Altered Beast (1993) and 100% Fun (1995) were both critically acclaimed and successful albums, with the latter reaching platinum status and making many year-end best-of lists.
Matthew Sweet began playing music while he was a high-school student in his native Lincoln, NE. Upon his graduation in 1983, he decided to attend the University of Georgia in Athens because of its burgeoning underground music scene. Once he arrived at college, he met Lynda Stipe and joined her band, Oh-OK, in time to play on their second EP, the Mitch Easter-produced Furthermore What, which was released late in 1983. The following year, he and Oh-OK drummer David Pierce formed Buzz of Delight, releasing Sound Castles later that year. Over the course of 1984 and 1985, Sweet cut a demo tape with producer Don Dixon. Columbia Records heard the Buzz of Delight record and the demo and offered him a contract in 1985. Upon signing with Columbia, he relocated to New York and recorded his debut, Inside. Released in 1986, Inside featured Sweet playing nearly all of the instruments on the record, supported by a drum machine; the album also featured several cameos, including Chris Stamey, Fred Maher, Anton Fier, and Aimee Mann. That same year, Sweet guested on Blast of Silence, an album by Fier's band, the Golden Palominos.
Sweet recorded the follow-up to Girlfriend with producer Richard Dashut, who had previously been best known for his work with Fleetwood Mac and Lindsey Buckingham. Again featuring Quine and Lloyd, the resulting Altered Beast was subversive compared to Girlfriend and considered by many critics and fans alike to be a favorite. The album became a sizable college radio hit on the strength of the modern rock and MTV hits "The Ugly Truth" and "Time Capsule." After releasing the stopgap EP Son of Altered Beast in the spring of 1994, Sweet recorded his fifth album, this time with a more commercial producer — Brendan O'Brien, who had previously worked with Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots. Released in the spring of 1995, 100% Fun received Sweet's strongest reviews to date and went gold then platinum on the strength of "Sick of Myself".
Following 100% Fun, Sweet retained O'Brien for 1997's Blue Sky on Mars. In Reverse followed in 1999, and the best-of collection Time Capsule arrived a year later. Hip-O released To Understand: The Early Recordings of Matthew Sweet in 2002, a collection that Sweet followed up with the Japanese-only release Kimi Ga Suki * Raifu. He returned to the domestic studio in 2004 for Living Things, followed by a collection of choice covers from the 60's, 70's, and 80's with Bangles member Susanna Hoffs for Under the Covers, Vol. 1 – 3.
In 2008, Sweet put out his tenth studio album, Sunshine Lies, which he termed as "power-pop-folk-rock-psychedelic-melodic-singer-songwriter-type stuff". By turns achingly melodic and startlingly visceral, Sunshine Lies swirls with poetic emotion and stark attitude, bringing neatly into play the entire gamut of Sweet's stylistic experience
Released in 2011, Modern Art features 12 new compositions of Sweet's trademark wistful, yearning pop that recall some of Sweet's touchstones: the Beatles, Beach Boys and Big Star. "She Walks the Night" is reminiscent of early period Byrds, while "Ladyfingers" stomps along with the authority of T. Rex. Other standout tracks include the swirling, psychedelic "Oh, Oldendaze!," the ruggedly assertive "Late Nights With the Power Pop," the acerbically witty "Evil By Design, Goodbye Nature" and the sweetly soulful "Modern Art."
Sweet recently wrote and recorded (and sang and performed guitar on) a Journey parody song for an episode of The Simpsons in which Homer forms an ill fated garageband.
Known for his knowledge and extensive collection of Margaret Keane paintings, Sweet was hired as a consultant on the 2014 Tim Burton film "Big Eyes". Many of the Margaret Keane paintings in the film are from Matthew's collection.
Sweet is currently writing and recording an album at his new studio in Omaha where he now lives.

A series of photos of the kids on the porch with their carved pumpkins. Along with the dogs who have to be right there with them.
I purchased the pumpkins from Trader Joe's this year for $2.99 each. Then the kids picked the one they wanted. Surprisingly, there was no arguing.
Last year I shared our porch pictures throughout the years, you can find that HERE.

"This product was great! I asked my designer to make these enclosure cards match the colors of the rest of my invitation and they came out perfectly! They come in these cute little plastic boxes and kind of remind me of little trading cards. My only concern with these, once I tried placing them in my invitation envelopes, was how to ensure that they would be seen by my guests (my fear was that they might slip down into the corner of the invitation envelope and not be noticed). I ended up using those little double sided tape pieces that scrapbooker use, to tape the enclosure card onto the Reply card. It actually looked really cute, and guaranteed it would be seen."
""Designers were easy to work with and helped my customize. Shipping was fast and came exactly when expected, and items were great quality. My only tiny gripe is that the design seemed to have sparkle in it on the website, but when it arrived the glittered sections were not glittery, just printed to look as if they were. Not a big deal at all, but should be noted. Live chat was very helpful too.""
"I wasn't sure about ordering these at first, but I'm sure glad I did! They are the perfect size for a little more information for your guests. I used it to include hotel information, our wedding website address and directions. I have gotten so many compliments on this set! Definitely recommend!"
"I ordered the Deep Plum Vibrate Vineyard stationary (save-the-dates, invitations, enclosure cards, response cards, place cards, and thank you cards) and everything turned out wonderful. The Vibrant Vineyard worked very nicely with the Italian restaurant (Maggiano's banquets) and the Deep Plum coordinated with the plum dresses the MOH and Best Lady wore. The quality of paper was very nice and the shipping was very quick."
"We are extremely pleased with our invitations and RSVP cards/direction cards. High quality, efficient service and we received them within 5 days of ordering!"

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was in a parking lot, waiting for a car to back out so I could take their spot. while I was waiting a van backed into me. I had a little damage and the other person had a scratch. I called the police and had a report written, they told me it was a no fault accident. Who is going to pay to get my car fixed and will my statefarm insurance rise?
Under Michigan law, you are entitled to make a Mini Tort claim for vehicle damage from your car accident. Unfortunately, Michigan limits property damage liability, and your ability to recover under the mini-tort is capped at up to $500 of your vehicle repair costs. You can then turn to your own insurance company if you had purchased optional additional car repair insurance. If you have not, then even if the damage to your car is greater than $500, you will still be limited to $500 under the mini tort law. See http://www.michiganautolaw.com/nofault/michigan-mini-tort.php
for an example of a mini tort letter and more information on recovering vehicle repair costs after a motor vehicle accident.
Also, under the Michigan No Fault Act, the State of Michigan has mandated coverage for personal injury protection, property protection such as road signs, fences and buildings, and residual liability coverage for cases where death or injury are involved. The state does not, however, require collision coverage. That is where the limited property damage liability or mini-tort provision comes into play.
There are varying degrees of collision insurance, but generally speaking it covers the cost of repairs to the driver's own vehicle. Repairs can get costly.
If you are without collision coverage on your car, or your coverage is limited, and you are less than 50 percent at fault for the accident, you can recoup some of your out-of-pocket costs to fix your car via the mini-tort.
How much you can recover depends on how much fault you bear. For example, let's say the damage to your car amounts to $100 and the other driver is deemed 75 percent at fault for the accident. Then he or she would pay $75.
These cases are normally handled in a small claims court, but either party may ask to have the case moved up to a higher jurisdiction.
Let me tackle your questions one at a time...
Q: Who is going to pay to get your car fixed
A: Depends on your coverage with your own insurance company. If you can prove the van was at fault for backing into you, then if you have paid a deductible or you paid to repair your own car, then you can seek up to $500 from them (yes, only up to $500). This limitation is outlined in our no-fault law. If their insurance company does not willingly pay the $500, then you will need to sue them in small claims court.
I wrote some sample letters to assist people with this process. Please see the following website for guidance.:
Q: Will your State Farm insurance rise?
A: It is certainly possible. State Farm does not publicize their methods for determining a rise in rates; however, State Farm seems to always lead the pack (not in a good way) when it comes to reported complaints with the State of Michigan. http://www.michigan.gov/dleg/0,1607,7-154-10555_12902_12916-150896--,00.html

Epic Endurance Camp - Santa Ynez
- Santa Ynez, CA
- Feb 15 - 18, 2017
- Cycling
Is this camp right for me?
Fitness Level:
Skill Level:
You can't hide poor fitness on multi-day rides or even huge 1-day events. And poor group riding skills and bike handling will compound any weaknesses. Improve your fitness and your skills with 3 long days of riding. Our professional coaches provide feedback and instruction to improve skills and hone performance. Fully supported rides, professional mechanics and daily power file analysis enhance your experience.
Wonder if you're qualified for a CTS Bucket List Event? The best way to earn your spot on one of our teams is to spend time working with our coaches. This three-and-a half day camp welcomes intermediate to advanced riders looking for long training days and professional instruction. Due to the demanding nature of the routes, we highly recommend that your bicycle be equipped with a 12-28 cassette, and/or a compact crankset.
"Just spent 3 days with Carmichael Training System in Santa Ynez. Three days- 300 miles 15000 feet of climbing. 17 strong riders, great weather and awesome coaches. Thanks to Jason Siegle who pushed me, Paul who kept me in the game, and my own Coach Kirk Nordgren whose guidance made it possible!" – Greg G. (2015 Epic Endurance Camp)
Camp Includes:
- Daily training sessions with Carmichael Training Systems Coaches
- Professional Mechanics
- Use of PowerTap power meter
- Daily power analysis with CTS Coaches
- Complete Ride Support with Bonk Breaker nutrition and hydration products
- Training Presentations with our Coaches
- CTS Jersey
- Two dinners and three lunches
Add-On Option:
- Add a fourth long day of riding with the CTS Coaches on Sunday, February 19 for just $250
Eat. Sleep. Ride. Repeat.
Three long days on the bike is a big challenge, so we make sure to take great care of you off the bike. Three lunches and two dinners are included with this camp and you'll be treated to fresh, nutritious ingredients and enjoy dinners from some of the best local restaurants. Since you'll be riding many more hours than you normally do at home, you will also have access to recovery tools like Normatec compression boots. When you're not on the bike we encourage you to relax as much as possible and learn about training, nutrition, and recovery during seminars led by our professional coaches.
Explore the Best Routes in Central California!
Santa Ynez is a small town located in Santa Barbara County, near the Los Padres National Forest and just inland from the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Quiet roads and beautiful scenery await the cyclist who is ready to get back out on the bike for the 2017 season. The area is not only famous for its abundant riding routes, but is well known for great restaurants, vineyards, country inns and exceptional wine tasting rooms.
The rides during this camp are big endurance training rides with instruction from professional coaches. This camp will include a ride to Jalama Beach, a ride that includes the iconic climb of Figueroa Mountain, and a long route through the vineyards and ranchland of the Santa Ynez Valley. Our goal is for you to go home tired and more skilled and confident on your bike. Our professional coaches will divide the camp into groups based on riders' skill and fitness levels so everyone is challenged and no one is overwhelmed.

After dropping off your bike and a brief check-in process, you'll join the CTS coaching staff and fellow riders for a gourmet dinner and a preview of the week ahead.

Day 2 – Jalama Beach
Today's endurance ride focuses on group riding skills as we head towards Jalama Beach. Many consider the ride to Jalama to be the most beautiful in the area, and the views as you crest the final rise to the coast are amazing. This is a technically challenging route with a deceptive amount of climbing, and as part of the Epic Endurance camp we'll be adding extra miles and extra climbs on to the normal Jalama route. As with all the days, we'll be right around 100 miles of total riding today, and there is lots of riding to come!Lunch and power data review is at CTS, and there is the option for a sports massage.
Day 3 – Santa Ynez Valley
The endurance ride today focuses on long miles with lots of hills. We'll spend the day riding the canyons of the Santa Ynez Valley. Lots of climbing and descending await as we spin through the vineyards, ranchland and mountains of California's Central Coast.After lunch and reviewing the morning's ride data you'll again have the option for massage, followed by a group dinner.
Day 4 – Figueroa Mountain
We save the hardest ride for last at Epic Endurance Camp – Figueroa Mountain! The technique fundamentals, pacing strategies and nutritional tips you've learned the previous days will all help you conquer this extremely challenging "hors catégorie" climb. It's a mountain that has tested some of the world's best cyclists, but our coaches and support staff will help you conquer it too. But we're not done after Figueroa. We have lots of more miles to go through the challenging and scenic canyons of the Santa Ynez Valley. A final data recall with coaches and one more group lunch caps off a great block of huge miles which will boost your fitness for any endurance challenge in the year to come.

New for 2017 is the option to extend your camp for a 4th day! Add one more fully supported 5+ hour ride with our coaches for a chance to push your fitness to new heights!

"Have me for the night."

"For any purpose you want, although I've got a pretty good idea what that purpose will be. Even virgins aren't that dense."
Formerly titled Hale's Point
While house-sitting at a waterfront estate, sweet, straight-laced Harley is stunned by the arrival of her employer's supposedly dead son, an Alaskan bush pilot with a bad boy rep who's been wounded in an airplane crash. Coming home after years of estrangement—and a stint in prison—to make amends with the old man is difficult for Tucker, but not half as difficult as keeping his distance from the super-sexy but virginal Harley while they share the house, awaiting his father's return.
Having given up on the idea that he'll ever fully heal from his ravaged leg, Tucker balks when Harley urges him to swim as physical therapy—until she adds a unique incentive: "Catch me and you can have me." Her certainty that he'll never be able to swim that fast evaporates when he embarks on a rigorous training regimen, determined to claim her as his prize. But when she unearths the dark secret in his past, will she still be willing to pay up when the time comes?
The Black Sheep, formerly titled Hale's Point, is a full-length novel that is Book 1 of the North Moon Bay contemporary romance series, but can be read and enjoyed on its own. It was honored with Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award.

Consumer Spending Increases More Than Expected
May figures from the Commerce Department show gaining confidence in the economy.
NEW YORK -- Consumer spending in the U.S. rose in May more than was forecasted, a sign households are gaining confidence in the recovery and the job market, Bloomberg News reported.
Purchases rose 0.2 percent after little change the month before, U.S. Commerce Department figures showed. Incomes climbed 0.4 percent and the savings rate increased 4 percent, reaching its highest level in eight months, according to the report.
Consumer demand may accelerate as gains in payrolls, longer workweeks and rising pay are giving Americans the means to spend. Federal Reserve policy makers last week pledged to keep interest rates low to ensure that households weather the fallout from the European debt crisis, unemployment hovering near a 26-year high, and tight credit.
"The labor market is gradually improving, labor income is picking up and that should continue to support spending," said Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. "We see a solid, trend-like growth in spending" in coming months.
The median estimate of 61 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a 0.1-percent gain in spending for the month of May. Projections ranged from an increase of 0.3 percent to a 0.5-percent drop. The median estimate also called for a 0.5-percent advance in incomes. Wages and salaries in May rose 0.5 percent for a second month.
The Federal Reserve last week said the labor market is "improving gradually," changing April's assessment that it was "beginning to improve." Consumer spending still "remains constrained" by joblessness and "tight credit," the organization said.
Consumer spending grew at a 3-percent annual pace in the first three months of 2010, less than previously estimated, the Commerce Department said last week. The report showed the economy grew 2.7 percent in the first quarter.
Economists surveyed this month project that purchases will expand at a 3-percent rate in the April-to-June period, and 2.6 percent in the second half of the year.

Hi everyone,
I have some big news, this will be my last week at Envato as a staff member. It's an extremely bittersweet time and I'll miss working with all my wonderful friends at Envato and of course from within the community.
It's been almost 3 years and it's been rad! From all the hilarious forum posts I've read, to meeting some of you in person, it's been a wild adventure and now I'm heading off for a few more. I'm extremely proud of all Envato has achieved since I've been here and there's only more awesome things coming! I'll still be hanging around in the forums (in an unofficial capacity) so it's not goodbye, but if you'd like to stay in contact you can reach me via Twitter. I'm going to be heading to a new position at the Australian Ballet (I have been secretly training as a prima ballerina). My last day is Friday (Australian Time) so after that, there'll be no more Envato Staff posts from me.
I just want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all of you.
You've made working with Envato a delight and I'm constantly inspired by what an amazing, talented group of people you are.
Keep on working hard and you'll get those badges and the rewards you are hoping for. Keep positive. Helping each other and sharing your skills will pave your way to Marketplace greatness.
NB: This photo is from Movember last year, which is why I'm sporting this luscious moustache.
Good night, sweet princess.
We really liked you. Good luck in your future carrier!
Sad day for envato We will miss you!
Hey Carmen,
The Envato Community is going to miss you a lot.
Good luck for your future endeavors…
When will you perform? Nothing more admirable than following a dream and achieving. Good luck!
Don't leave
We will be greatly miss you Carmen. Thank you for all your work! Best of luck with the ballet!

Unsaved Movie Review 10: Limitless
Bradley Cooper stars in this psychological thriller about a writer who is introduced to a new drug which dramatically increases his intelligence. As he takes this pill he tries to improve his life for the better, but at the same time some challenging trials come about in the process. I had to look at this movie and see how Bradley Cooper's character would be like before and after he takes the pill, as well as how the movie responds to this unique idea. I give much of this a thumbs down, mainly because of how selfish Bradley Cooper's character is and how the movie promotes his behavior as being mostly ok.
