On May 8th at 8:34 p.m. HABIT (presumably) tweeted "DON'T TELL VINNY" using the main EMH twitter account. It was accompanied by a photo of Jeff.
In the photo, Jeff is shown from behind with blood on his face and back. Written in marker on his back is "GREEN FEATHERS", referring to TheGreenFeathers, the only fan who showed up at the November 21 Meetup and also the finder of Box 1. He was later emailed a set of coordinates that led him to Box 6.
Below his name is "+7." This seems to refer to the seven remaining Rabbits who, as part of what HABIT called "Extra Innings" in the Seven Trials, were sent pieces of ink ribbon (among other items) that continued the document on the ink ribbon retrieved by Green Feathers in Box 6.
Jeff's whereabouts, or when the photo was taken, are not known.

Mark (an RSS reader) is interested in jumping into the big, wide world of blogging and recently asked what blogging setup I use, refering specifically to my computer.
In the beginning, I used a Dell laptop and it did a great job. Later I moved on to an HP laptop and then a Compaq (which is owned by HP). These were great setups for me and I was able to get The Wisdom Journal off and running. But these were just SO bulky and heavy that I was motivated to look for something lighter. I travel quite a lot with my job and I prefer to keep my company laptop and my personal blogging computer seperate. Trudging through airports with 2 laptops isn't my idea of fun.
I finally bought a Gateway Netbook and I have never looked back. It has everything I need for blogging and it weighs less than most books!
If you're interested in getting a better, more lightweight setup, I'd recommend looking into the options offered at LetsTalk.com. They have some fabulous prices on Netbooks with the air card included and right now, the activation fee is WAIVED! The choices start at $149.99 and include HP, Compaq, Lenovo, and Acer.
My little netbook is perfect for early morning writing at the local coffee shop as well as while I'm waiting for my next plane. If you're already happy with your computer, I'd also suggest a wireless card. They have some great prices on these little jewels and there's nothing like being able to connect when you need to.

Although the Liberal Media may tell you that it was because of over-population and society, it was clearly because they were fed godless commie propaganda by the bears, in their bid to destroy christianity (many say that the Colbear itself was descended from the Viking chieftain Harald Hardrada's own pet). These raids were collectively known as the bear uprising of 793-1066.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Vermont state employees will see 2.5 percent pay increases in each of the next two Julys, as well as improved dental coverage under terms of a tentative contract deal.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding and Vermont State Employees' Association President Shelley Martin announced the agreements with three VSEA bargaining units on Thursday afternoon. Those units cover corrections, supervisory and non-management workers throughout state government.
Other changes are aimed at improving the state's ability to staff the Vermont Veterans' Home in Bennington and new psychiatric facilities being developed to replace the now-closed Vermont State Hospital.
The agreement must still be ratified by the union rank and file.

Acerca del libro
'tied' is a photographic essay exploring the resting place of debris discarded from ships and boats - much of it carried to remote beaches around the world.
It is a gentle visual remonstration urging people to be more aware of the effects of their mundane actions.
The oceans are vast but everything thrown overboard ends up somewhere - it doesn't just disappear....
'tied' acts as a conversation starter to get people talking about the problem of everyday human pollution of our earth's oceans, and what to do about it.

|Un-named son
Tarui was a ronin bushi and duelist.
Ronin Edit
Tarui's father was a disgrace, cast out from his clan for weakness and condemning Tarui a life of ronin. [1]
Legion of Two Thousand Edit
Tarui took the banner of the Legion of Two Thousand, looking for a better future for his son. [1]
Destroyer War Edit
In 1173 during the Destroyer War Tarui and his men were defending the Scorpion Southern Watch Keep under the command of Bayushi Ishikura. Shortly before his gunso's death, his officer had promoted Tarui to the position of nikutai. When it was lost, they sacrificed themselves to buy the Scorpion commander enough time for his men to fall back and find reinforcements. Tarui fought as a hero and a man of honor. His son would live with the gratitude of the Legion. [1]
The Currency of War Edit
Tarui survived, and eventually he was hired by the Mantis Clan. In 1199 he was the guard of a Tsuruchi caravan crossing one of the Crane passes of the Spine of the World Mountains. Daidoji Kinta detained him, due to the accusations made by the magistrate Doji Hikaro, who had had more than one run-in during Tarui's travels through this region. Tarui perished under extremely questionable circumstances. The disagreement over the merchant caravan rapidly escalated into a conflict between the Crane and Mantis clans. [2]

Pune, May 3: Termed as title favourites during the start of the tournament, Mumbai Indians are finding it difficult to live up to their expectations, as injury woes are increasing every passing day. Latest to join the list is the West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard.
Placed third in the points table behind Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai did win the last two matches against Kings XI Punjab and Deccan Chargers, but that put aside their below par performance during the last fortnight.
With Kieron Pollard, their main player injured, Mumbai will have to continue their good work in the absence of the all-rounder, as he needs atleast a week's time to recover from a shoulder injury.
"According to the medical reports and scans done, Pollard would be out for at least another week," said Peterson ahead of their clash against Pune Warriors.
Pollard missed the match against Deccan Chargers on April 29 and according to the scan report, he needs a week's rest. Though he isn't the only foreign player who is injured, there are a few more players. Mitchell Johnson returned home due to a toe injury while they found a replacement in West Indies' all-rounder Dwayne Smith.
Another cause of worry is the status of Herschelle Gibbs, as he has not featured in any of the matches in IPL 5 so far due to a finger injury.
Gibbs, broke his finger in the first week of IPL 5 and has not recovered yet, which is another issue that is bothering Mumbai as they have had problems with the opening partnership ever since the start of IPL 5, as Sachin Tendulkar also missed a couple of matches due to a finger injury.
"Gibbs broke his finger in the first week, which was unfortunate. He is just starting to hit a few balls. We all know Gibbs' ability in the T20 format, and if the team management chooses him in one of the coming games, I am sure he would be ready," Peterson added.

Cost of primary rhinoplasty in Connecticut?
Doctor Answers 5
Agree with my colleagues.. It is important to understand that your surgeon performs a significant number of rhinoplasty cases and understands your goals...
Rhinoplasty fees
The fee will vary from surgeon to surgeon and in different areas of the country.. It is hard to quantify talent to cost. I would caution about really low prices though. I am some where in them middle of the fees you mentioned. It depends upon the extent of work necessary. Best of luck

Rhinoplasty cost
Hello and thank you for your question. Cost of rhinoplasty varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise. Much more important than this, however, is finding the right surgeon for you. It is very important that you thoroughly research your surgeon before
committing to surgery. It is a good idea to research your surgeon's educational
background, online reviews, before & after pictures, and speak with anyone
who you may know who has had surgery with that surgeon. During your
consultation, make sure that you don't feel rushed and make sure that you have
adequate time with your surgeon and not just their patient coordinator or
nurses. If the majority of your consultation is spent with someone other than
the surgeon, this is usually not a good sign. Make sure you specifically look at before and after
pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon
and not just a computer animation system. The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Cost of Rhinoplasty
I do not recommend picking a surgeon based on price. Look for referrals from patients, your doctor, reputation and reviews. Do your research, and look for board certification as one of the basics. Get two consults at least if not sure after your first. Good luck
Cost of rhinoplasty, location, what is included in the cost of a rhinoplasty
Dear esdmn,
My first advice to you is not to choose your surgeon based on price. There can be as broad a variable in the skill of the surgeon as there is in in the price. Choose your surgeon based on his reputation and referrals from patients and fellow physicians. In comparing the cost of a rhinoplasty it can be apples and oranges. Some rhinoplasty quotes receive will reflect only the surgeons the others may include all aspects including the anesthesiologist, the lab work, and the facility charges. If any functional work is necessary to improve the airway then insurance reimbursement may become involved. If you are considering a cosmetic rhinoplasty it will not the covered by insurance.
To reiterate do not choose your surgeon based on the fee !
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

|Kapil Dev advises U-19 lads to give 100%
Monday, February 2 2004 14:52 Hrs (IST)
At a function organised by ACE Awards to interact with the Bangladesh bound Indian team led by Ambati Rayudu, Kapil Dev said, "Wearing the Indian colours will be a proud moment for all of you and each one of you should do justice by giving hundred per cent on and off the field".
"I am extremely privileged to be in Mumbai, as it gives me an opportunity to interact with our future cricketing stars. It is a very gratifying experience when youngsters like you look up to me for guidance," he added.
"As a member of the ACE jury I am looking forward to such events where we can provide our support and encouragement to our young cricketers and award them for their excellence in cricket through this platform," Kapil said. Incidentally, the first ACE Awards for excellence in cricket is scheduled to be held in October in Mumbai and one of the U-19 cricketer will be given a cash award of Rs 5000 per month for a period of one year.
Former Test stars Dilip Sardesai, Eknath Solkar and Paras Mhambrey also interacted with the boys.
The ACE jury comprises eleven cricketing legends -- Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi (chairman), Alvin Kallicharran, Asif Iqbal, Tony Greig, Barry Richards, Kapil Dev, Allan Border, Arjuna Ranatunga, Sir Richard Hadlee, Wasim Akram and umpire Dickie Bird.

Thomas, C.D., Cameron, A., Green, R.E. et al. (6 more authors) (2004) Extinction risk from climate change. Nature, 427 (6970). pp. 145-148. ISSN 0028-0836
Climate change over the past approx30 years has produced numerous shifts in the distributions and abundances of species1, 2 and has been implicated in one species-level extinction3. Using projections of species' distributions for future climate scenarios, we assess extinction risks for sample regions that cover some 20% of the Earth's terrestrial surface. Exploring three approaches in which the estimated probability of extinction shows a power-law relationship with geographical range size, we predict, on the basis of mid-range climate-warming scenarios for 2050, that 15–37% of species in our sample of regions and taxa will be 'committed to extinction'. When the average of the three methods and two dispersal scenarios is taken, minimal climate-warming scenarios produce lower projections of species committed to extinction (approx18%) than mid-range (approx24%) and maximum-change (approx35%) scenarios. These estimates show the importance of rapid implementation of technologies to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and strategies for carbon sequestration.

text: Show Hide image Politics 22 March 2013 Blackstone explores options for Dell bid Carl Icahn could express interest in making a bid. Sign up for our weekly email * The US asset manager Blackstone Group is exploring several options of making an offer for all or part of computer maker Dell as the 45-day purchase deadline will close today. Dell agreed to be taken private by Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners for $24.4bn in February. Carl Icahn, the majority shareholder of Icahn Enterprises, could express interest in making a bid for Dell, reported the Financial Times citing two people familiar with the situation. Blackstone and Icahn have signed undisclosed deals for access to Dell's books in the recent times. The current offer price for Dell is $13.65 a share, which represents a 25 per cent premium over the stock's undisturbed price. Potential new bidders need to offer higher bid than current price to convince the buyout group. In the event if another formal bid is made, Michael Dell and Silver Lake will have only one opportunity to match. This could lead another bidder such as Blackstone or Icahn to make an initial bid not much higher than $13.65 per share, allowing Michael Dell and Silver Lake to match, reported FT. Blackstone had discussions with several parties about partnering on a bid in the recent times. Southeastern Asset Management, a major shareholder of Dell, was said to be in discussions with Blackstone about rolling its 8.4 per cent stake into a new bid. Private equity firm TPG had initially considered working on a bid with Michael Dell, but backed down before the buyout offer was made. People familiar with the situation said that a deal in partnership between Blackstone and TPG is unlikely to happen. Dell, Blackstone, TPG and Southeastern have declined to comment on the bid.

Description: Bart Ehrman--the New York Times bestselling author of Misquoting Jesus and a recognized authority on the early Christian Church--and Zlatko Ple%se here offer a groundbreaking edition of the Apocryphal Gospels, one that breathes new life into the non-canonical texts that were once nearly lost to history.In The Other Gospels, Ehrman and Plese present a rare compilation of over 40 ancient gospel texts and textual fragments that do not appear in the New Testament. This essential collection contains Gospels describing Jesus's infancy, ministry, Passion, and resurrection, as well as the most controversial manuscript discoveries of modern times, including the most significant Gospel discovered in the 20th century--the Gospel of Thomas--and the most recently discovered Gospel, the Gospel of Judas Iscariot. Each translation begins with a thoughtful examination of key historical, literary, and textual issues that places each Gospel in its proper context. The end result is a resource that enables anyone interested in Christianity or the early Church to understand--better than ever before--the deeper meanings of these apocryphal Gospels.The Other Gospels is much more than an annotated guide to the Gospels. Through its authoritative use of engaging, accurate translations, it provides an unprecedented look at early Christianity and the New Testament. This is an indispensable volume for any reader interested in church history, antiquity, or the Christian faith.

To allow setting "Patch Available" flag for everybody will not make any harm, and will ease working with issues. We can be optimistic here: a contributor provides a patch to fix the problem described. Contributor makes sure their patch doesn't break any tests, and sets the flag. The issue reporter may check if the patch solves the problem. If it's OK, they may add a comment about it. It'll be clear for everyone there's a solution to try. On the other hand, if the reporter tested the patch and considers it is not good or doesn't fix the issue, they simply clear the flag providing the explanation why. The same way a committer can test the fix and update the issue.

I tend to agree here too. If the problem seems to be easy from the description, one can look at additional assignee field and see if someone works on it. There'll be no need to open the issue and read comments. Additionally, if someone who started investigating the issue faces the issue is not as easy as it seemed, they can always write a message to the dev-list and ask for help. This way, I think, having such a field will make finding and fixing easy issues faster. (If a manager wants to monitor their employees activity in JIRA, having such a field will also make their life easier. But the main point is to simplify life for contributors.)

Hiiii friends!
Happy FRIDAY <3
Baby's First Thanksgiving
So yesterday was monumental….baby Lily had her first Thanksgiving!
She celebrated by eating, pooping, being adorable, going on a walk, and sleeping.
She had a cute, special Thanksgiving outfit, so I made sure to put her in it right before we sat down to eat Thanksgiving dinner.
That is KEY with a newborn.
So I snapped a few photos (I've learned quickly with a newborn that if I want a photo of an outfit, I must do it ASAP)
Well….after we got her in her outfit, she decided she was hungry.
While the kiddos were all being helped & fed, I fed baby Lily.
And then after she burped and wanted to eat more, I fed her more.
At this point the adults started getting their food.
Then, as I was looking at how cute she was, she spit up allllll over her new outfit, me, and the couch.
And that was about 10 minutes after her being in her special outfit.
It was kind of funny…..and sad all at the same time. :/ Simply because then I had to clean her/me up while everyone was eating. (I wasn't going to make them wait & the food get cold), and she needed to eat a bit more.
Oh well, such is life with a newborn!
But because people got seconds & ate for awhile and sat around just chatting, I didn't eat by myself. 😉
It was all reallllly delicious!
Rolls (I made them), sweet potato souffle, mac & cheese bake, jello fruit salad, mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey, cranberry sauce.
And one of my sisters-in-law held her so I could eat. So kind of her!
Notice how baby Lily is in a new outfit?!
Later on we watched Elf (baby Lily slept) and ate dessert.
Twas a great holiday!
Have a WONDERFUL weekend!
We'll be with Jared's family all weekend, so it should be a blast
How was YOUR Thanksgiving if YOU celebrated??! Weekend plans??! Any funny stories occur yesterday to YOU or YOUR kiddos??!

|Lost part of a finger in a meat slicer at Arby's.
Rahm "Rahmbo" Emanuel is currently the Chief of Staff Of The Obama Administration. From this honored seat Rahm will no doubt perfect the arts of shipping deceased amphibians and kneecapping conservative stalwarts. In his former positions as top salesman for the state of Illinois and Chairman of the Democratic Caucus Rahm cooked kosher delicacies for his office staff. Recently, as Chairman he ordered new Democrat members of the House of Representatives to hide from late night pundit Stephen Colbert because the Better Know A District could obliterate the Democrat stranglehold on Congress
|He said don't do it … it's a risk and it's probably safer not to do it...
Evidently, Mr. Emanuel likes bossing around black women.
Questions Stephen Should Ask Rahm, When He Finally Shows Up For His NailingEdit
- Why do you hate our troops?
- Who's afraid of the big brass balls?
- President Bush, great president, or the greatest president?
- Obama Or Clinton? Just answer the question.

LG Display Sees Signs of Display Market Improvement
LG Display Sees Signs of Display Market Improvement
Posted by
Gupta Vikas
on July 13, 2016
South Korea's LG Display Co Ltd is seeing signs of improvement in the display panel industry and expects its business performance to pick up in the second half of the year, the firm's chief executive said.
"There is a sign of things changing a bit starting in late second quarter," LG Display CEO Han Sang-beom told reporters at an embargoed media event, without providing specific details.
"We are making various cost-related efforts and I think we'll look a bit better in the second half."
Panel makers have suffered from price declines in recent quarters due to weak sales of consumer electronics such as smartphones and televisions. But there are signs that the bottom is near, with panel prices for some televisions, tablets and monitors picking up in June, according to research house IHS.
The bottom could not come soon enough for LG, the world's top liquid crystal display (LCD) maker, which is expected to post a 96 percent fall in April-June operating profit to KRW 18 billion ($15.72 million), according to the average forecast of analysts in a Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S/ survey.
Lacklustre sales for key client Apple Inc's iPhones have also hurt LG Display's bottom line. The company will report its second-quarter earnings on July 27.
Han said flexible organic light-emitting diode screens were proving popular and LG Display was preparing to supply them to "major" Chinese clients for mobile products. He did not elaborate.
The company currently supplies such screens, mainly for smartwatches, to LG Electronics Inc and Apple.
"It's clear that plastic Oled is a major trend. While the smartphone market has stagnated it is still a growth market, so we will focus on preparing capacity and developing products accordingly," Han said.

I stayed at this hotel when it was Vallarta Palace, and would have given it four stars. I saw the Cancun Palace (which I would have given three stars) converted into a genuine five-star resort, so I was expecting a truly awesome experience. There were many good things here, but it didn't improve enough to get the last star.
The good: Staff is incredible. Everyone was happy to help and was empowered to assist me in any area I asked. (This was a pleasant improvement over Vallarta Palace.) The food is excellent, although not quite up to the standards of the other Hard Rock all-inclusive resorts. The shows were interesting, and there was (loud) rock music during a good part of the day (some complained that it stayed on until after 10 at night). The rooms are serviceable and large enough. The swimming pools are deep enough to swim, unlike many Mexican resorts. The spa services were well above average (note: although they don't say so, please remember to tip the spa providers!) The beach is amazing.
The bad: Some bartenders didn't seem to know how to use measuring cups or shot glasses, so some drinks were way off. The plumbing in the room was connected badly, so someone taking a shower caused burping noises from in in-room Jacuzzi.
The ugly: The wireless internet is absolutely terrible, the worst I have seen in a place that advertises it. I got almost no service in the rooms, and spotty service in the best area of the resort (which turned out to be the Market restaurant).
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta is a gorgeous, 348-room beachfront property ideally situated between mountains and the Pacific Ocean, featuring unmatched, all-inclusive luxury accommodations including in-room double hydro spa tubs, fine dining, top-shelf drinks, 24-hour room service, live entertainment and more.

The property additionally features 6,300 square feet of meeting facilities. ... more less

In the real world, as we know all too well, 2016 took far too many wonderful people from us. But in the movies, at least, death is something everyone can enjoy. Here's Empire's end-of-year tally of the most memorably moribund.
Everyone in Green Room
There are few films this year that have murdered their players with quite the aplomb of nazi-punk thriller Green Room. A riot of eye-stabbing, abdomen-ripping, dog-chewing, hammer-bashing, throat-cutting, shotgun-blasting and head-shooting, it's an ordeal-and-a-half, but the cast attack it with gusto.
• Read Empire's review of *Green Room.
Barb in Stranger Things
Barb began the hit Netflix series sitting on the sidelines while her pal Nancy got it on with local talent Steve. And her death happens in much the same circumstances: Nancy otherwise engaged in the bedroom while Barb is stalked through the snow by a growling creature and yanked down a dark pit. Fans have clung to conspiracy theories about her somehow having survived, Jon-Snow style. This is almost certainly wishful thinking.
• Everything you need to know about Stranger Things season 2.
Nicky Parsons in Jason Bourne
Killing established characters is a great way to raise the stakes: if people we've followed for years can suddenly check out, the danger quotient for our other heroes is exponentially increased. Farewell then Nicky Parsons: feisty Treadstone veteran and Bourne ally of years past. We will miss you.
• Read Empire's review of Jason Bourne.
Superman in Batman v Superman
And lo, it did come to pass that the sins of the world brought forth the death of Superman, who giveth his life for mankind so that we may go onward in the light of his sacrifice. BECAUSE SUPERMAN IS JESUS, DO YOU SEE?
• Ten things we learned about Batman v Superman from director Zack Snyder.
The Ancient One in Doctor Strange
Tilda Swinton's cueball mystic meets her violent end at the hands of Mads Mikkelsen… but the moment has been prepared for. While she can see the future, she's never been able to see beyond this point, so it wasn't much of a surprise to her. She gets to bid a fond farewell to Dr Strange in her astral form subsequently, before fading out. Still, we won't be surprised if she fades back in again at some point.
• Twelve revelations from Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson.
The mercenaries in Deadpool
Lots of creative killery in the motormouthed X-Men spin-off, obviously. The six-bullets sequence at the beginning is a strong contender. But perhaps the bigger laugh comes later, as another collection of expendable goon corpses is put to creative use as a message inviting Francis "Ajax" Freeman out to play.
Gigi in The Neon Demon
Perhaps mercifully, we don't actually see Elle Fanning meet her obviously very grisly end. What we do see is Jena Malone soaking in her blood like Elizabeth Bathory in the immediate aftermath. And then, in maybe the year's single most arresting image, Bella Heathcote pukes up one of her eyeballs. METAPHOR KLAXON: the voracious fashion industry chews girls up and spits them out.
• Read Empire's review of The Neon Demon.
The potato in Sausage Party
Or in fact, the entire, appallingly funny kitchen massacre. Poor Potato is only the first casualty: the moment where the groceries realised they haven't quite been delivered from the supermarket to the Nirvana they'd invested in. After being "bathed by a god" Potato is skinned alive and dropped into boiling water. Tomato is bisected, Bacon is fried, Cheese is grated, Nachos are microwaved, Wine is beheaded… The horror, the horror…
• Read Empire's review of Sausage Party.
Tom in The Girl on The Train
Justin Theroux's gaslighting bastard finally receives his comeuppance on the end of a corkscrew wielded by Emily Blunt. But he might have survived had Rebecca Ferguson not joined in to twist it deeper. It's always heartwarming when two previously opposed characters can discover the truth, put aside their differences and bond over a brutal revenge execution.
• Read Empire's review of The Girl On The Train.
The bear in The Revenant
Weirdly one of the most affecting screen deaths of the year: perhaps we're so desensitised that the senseless killing of a noble beast is more of a wrench than x number of skinheads or models or mercs. The bear that attacks Leo is, after all, only defending her young. The horrifying, protracted fight that follows is a wholly unnecessary tragedy.
• The Revenant's Alejandro G. Iñárritu talks Leonardo DiCaprio, bears and the Oscars
Manny in Swiss Army Man
As a screen death, Manny doesn't quite work, of course, since he's already deceased by the time we find him washed up on shore. But if we take "death" as a state rather than an event, then Manny clearly excels, both in his useful flatulence and his hard partying. Fnar.
• Daniel Radcliffe on playing a farting corpse.
Ramsay Bolton in Game Of Thrones
After 20 episodes of mind-bending cruelty, Ramsay finally got his comeuppance, bringing out the inner fascist in all of us as we cheered his violent, bloody end. Satisfyingly, it was Sansa that finished him, hoisting him on the petard of his own vicious hounds. Her smile of satisfaction was priceless. And, you'd have to say, thoroughly deserved.
• Game Of Thrones: the best moments so far.
More from Empire's review of 2016:

Clarence Clemons remembers being stunned when he got a call from Lady Gaga about three weeks ago. At the time, he was installing an exercise machine at his home in Florida.
The longtime Bruce Springsteen pal tells Rolling Stone, "They (Gaga's aides) said to me, 'Lady Gaga wants you to play on her album.' This is on a Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. I said, 'When do you want me to do it? I'm free Monday or Tuesday.' "They go, 'No, she needs you right now in New York City'."
He dropped everything and headed for the airport: "I almost got a ticket I drove so fast." He arrived at her studio around midnight. "She came running down the hall," he says. "She was like, 'Big Man!'"
He wound up playing sax on her upcoming song Hair. And he's glad he made the trip. "It was wild. I was so excited. I'm a Gaga-ite."

BEAUTY | My Daily Facial Routine

By Kevin M. Smith
Killeen Daily Herald
Mailboxes are on the agenda again for the Killeen City Council.
The briefing/update on the plan for the installation of central box units is an item on the workshop agenda.
The council discussed the mailbox issue during a workshop in early February that ended in an impasse. Mayor Timothy Hancock stopped the discussion and called for a meeting outside the council workshop for city staff, local developers, postal service representatives and affected residents to meet.
The City Council approved an ordinance on June 26, 2007, that requires the developer to pour the concrete slab, buy the cluster mailbox and install it for every new subdivision in Killeen. The type and placement of box must be approved by the U.S. Postal Service. The ordinance applies only to subdivisions that are platted and approved after the ordinance took effect.
The post office's gripe was that it cannot afford to pay for all the cluster mailboxes, which run $800 to $900 for a box to serve 16, and federal regulations dictate it is the customer's responsibility to provide the box – not the postal service.
The ordinance cannot be retroactive for subdivisions that were platted before the ordinance took effect. Andrew Allemand, interim planning director, said a developer can have a plat approved and not build on it for an indefinite amount of time.
Mayor Pro Tem Fred Latham, Councilman Juan Rivera and Councilman Kenny Wells called for the June 26 ordinance to be rescinded at the Feb. 5 workshop, but the rest of the council disagreed.
During the regular meeting Tuesday, the council will vote on a resolution to establish a city compliance policy.
City Manager Connie Green said the policy will recognize standards for organizations and ethics.
"These will set standards and guidelines for conduct in our organization," Green said. "Sometimes that area is pretty gray."
He said the policy would also give staff a person to go to with questions about ethical practices.
"And talk with somebody and find the best way to handle the situation," Green said.
Amanda Wallace, the city's new internal auditor, will act as the compliance officer overseeing the policy.
Green said Councilman Otis Evans helped form the policy.
Also on the agenda, the council will vote on an ordinance to establish fees for the new recreation center at Lions Club Park.The workshop begins at 4 p.m. Tuesday, the meeting follows at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 101 N. College St. The workshop and meeting are open to the public.

The bestselling nonfiction books by or about African American authors, published in 2011.
- If I Should Die Before I Wake by Pat Simmons

- The Mis-Education of the Negro by Carter Godwin Woodson
(Tribeca Books, 2011-06-02, Paperback)
This is a beautiful designed large format edition of the classic THE MIS-EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO by Carter G. Woodson. One of the most important books on education ever written.
- The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration (Vintage) by Isabel Wilkerson
(Vintage, 2011-10-04, Paperback)
One of The New York Times Book Review's 10 Best Books of the YearIn this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves. With stunning historical detail, Wilkerson tells this story through the lives of three unique individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, who in 1937 left sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi for Chicago, where she achieved quiet blue-collar success and, in old age, voted for Barack Obama when he ran for an Illinois Senate seat; sharp and quick-tempered George Starling, who in 1945 fled Florida for Harlem, where he endangered his job fighting for civil rights, saw his family fall, and finally found peace in God; and Robert Foster, who left Louisiana in 1953 to pursue a medical career, the personal physician to Ray Charles as part of a glitteringly successful medical career, which allowed him to purchase a grand home where he often threw exuberant parties.Wilkerson brilliantly captures their first treacherous and exhausting cross-country trips by car and train and their new lives in colonies that grew into ghettos, as well as how they changed these cities with southern food, faith, and culture and improved them with discipline, drive, and hard work. Both a riveting microcosm and a major assessment, The Warmth of Other Suns is a bold, remarkable, and riveting work, a superb account of an "unrecognized immigration" within our own land. Through the breadth of its narrative, the beauty of the writing, the depth of its research, and the fullness of the people and lives portrayed herein, this book is destined to become a classic.From the Hardcover edition.

(William Gladden Press, 2011-03-25, Kindle Edition)
Maya Angelou grew up in the deep South, a dirt-poor African-American child who experienced ruthless discrimination and segregation. At the young age of eight, one of her mother's boyfriends raped Maya. At 16, she had a son. Maya turned to prostitution to support her son and to drugs to hide her shame. But when she became involved in the Civil Rights Movement with Reverend Martin Luther King, she turned her life around and rose above her humble and troubled beginnings to be America's Poet Laureate. With a list of review questions and a glossary of terms, this brief publication is ideal for middle school readers and at-risk youth.
- Learning in a Burning House: Educational Inequality, Ideology, and (Dis)Integration by Sonya Douglass Horsford
(Teachers College Press, 2011-01-28, Paperback)
The negative consequences of school desegregation on Black communities in the United States are now well documented in education research. Learning in a Burning House is the first book to offer a historical look at the desegregation dilemma with clear recommendations for what must be done to ensure Black student success in today's schools. This important book centers race and voice in the desegregation discourse, examining and reconceptualizing the meaning of "equal education." Featuring the unique perspectives of Black school leaders, Horsford provides a critical race analysis of how racism has undermined the integration ideal and the subsequent schooling of Black children. Most importantly, the book discusses how meaningful education reform must be grounded in a moral activist vision of equal education through a cross-racial commitment to racial literacy, realism, reconstruction, and reconciliation in our schools and society.

- The Voice That Challenged a Nation: Marian Anderson and the Struggle for Equal Rights by Russell Freedman
(Sandpiper, 2011-01-03, Paperback)
A voice like yours, celebrated conductor Arturo Toscanini told contralto Marian Anderson, "is heard once in a hundred years." This insightful account of the great African American vocalist considers her life and musical career in the context of the history of civil rights in this country. Drawing on Anderson's own writings and other contemporary accounts, Russell Freedman shows readers a singer pursuing her art despite the social constraints that limited the careers of black performers in the 1920s and 1930s. Though not a crusader or a spokesperson by nature, Marian Anderson came to stand for all black artists-and for all Americans of color-when, with the help of such prominent figures as Eleanor Roosevelt, she gave her landmark 1939 performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, which signaled the end of segregation in the arts.Carefully researched, expertly told, and profusely illustrated with contemporary photographs, here is a moving account of the life of a talented and determined artist who left her mark on musical and social history. Through her story, one of today's leading authors of nonfiction for young readers illuminates the social and political climate of the day and an important chapter in American history.

- My Desire for History: Essays in Gay, Community, and Labor History by Allan Berube
(The University of North Carolina Press, 2011-06-01, Paperback)
This anthology pays tribute to Allan Berube (1946-2007), a self-taught historian and MacArthur Fellow who was a pioneer in the study of lesbian and gay history in the United States. Best known for his Lambda Literary Award-winning book Coming Out Under Fire: The History of Gay Men and Women in World War II (1990), Berube also wrote extensively on the history of sexual politics in San Francisco and on the relationship between sexuality, class, and race. John D'Emilio and Estelle Freedman, who were close colleagues and friends of Berube, have selected sixteen of his most important essays, including hard-to-access articles and unpublished writing. The book provides a retrospective on Berube's life and work while it documents the emergence of a grassroots lesbian and gay community history movement in the 1970s and 1980s. Taken together, the essays attest to the power of history to mobilize individuals and communities to create social change.
- Family of Freedom: Presidents and African Americans in the White House by Kenneth T. Walsh
(Paradigm Publishers, 2011-02-01, Hardcover)
This book examines the intertwined relationships between the presidents and the African Americans who have been an integral part of the White House since the beginning of the Republic. The book discusses the racial attitudes and policies of the presidents and shows how African Americans helped to shape those attitudes and policies over the years. The analysis starts with the early presidents who had slaves and tells the compelling stories of their interactions, with an emphasis on how these slaves dealt with bondage in the supposed citadel of American freedom and independence. The book moves through the era of Abraham Lincoln, whose views on emancipation were greatly influenced by the African Americans around him, especially by White House seamstress Elizabeth Keckley and valet William Slade. The book covers the Jim Crow era and proceeds through the political and cultural breakthroughs on civil rights accomplished by Lyndon Johnson in partnership with the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. The book ends with an insightful analysis of the rise, election, and administration of Barack Obama, the first African American president, including an exclusive interview with Obama.
- Teaching Black Girls: Resiliency in Urban Classrooms–Revised edition (Counterpoints: Studies in the Postmodern Theory of Education) by Venus E. Evans-Winters
(Peter Lang Publishing, 2011-02-14, Paperback)
In this updated volume of Teaching Black Girls: Resiliency in Urban Classrooms, Venus E. Evans-Winters uses qualitative research methods to interpret and discuss school resilience in the lives of African American female students. The book demonstrates how these girls are simultaneously one of the most vulnerable, and one of the most resilient group of students. Teaching Black Girls implements alternative approaches to the study of the intersection of race, class, and gender on schooling, deliberately highlighting how students growing up and attending schools in urban neighborhoods are educationally resilient in the face of adversity. Through dialogue and self-reflection, the author and participants in the ethnographic study documented here reconstruct and tell stories of resilience to derive practice that is both gender and culturally relevant. Teaching Black Girls has research and practice implications for graduate students, advanced pre-service teachers, and school practitioners.
- BAsics, from the talks and writings of Bob Avakian by Bob Avakian
(RCP Publications, 2011-04-05, Paperback)
You can't change the world if you don't know the BAsics.BAsics, from the talks and writings of Bob Avakian is a book of quotations and short essays that speaks powerfully to questions of revolution and human emancipation. BAsics concentrates more than 30 years of Avakian's work. BAsics can not only introduce many more people to the thinking of the author who has put communism back on the agenda as a vital and viable force – it can play a major role in bringing forward and forging a new wave of revolutionaries. To look at the table of contents…is to look at the key questions that present themselves to someone agonizing over the question of whether and how they can actually change the world in a fundamental and meaningful way.What people are saying about BAsics. From a prisoner: "I wanted to congratulate everyone on the upcoming publication of BAsics. In today's world the need for the independent press and works by the people and for the people is needed more than ever at this crucial time especially here in the heart of the imperialist beast.Although I am unable to be there with you all to celebrate just knowing that the people will be out there enjoying the Revolutionary Culture brings a smile and upraised fist to the cage I am held in. Yes I said cage, but I tell you this not to bring down the people's spirit by telling you I am one of the 2+ million held in the Koncentration camps across America rather I tell you this because it is within these dungeons that are being intended to destroy one's will to resist that the people are waking up and using these dungeons as schools of liberation!! Prisoners in America are drawn to revolutionary ideas, it is only through publications like we will find in BAsics that prisoners will taste that most elusive ideal of "equality" that the prisoner in America grows up exempt from in the barrios and ghettos nationwide."
- The Collected Essays of Ralph Ellison (Modern Library Classics) by John Callahan

Compiled, edited, and newly revised by Ralph Ellison's literary executor, John F. Callahan, this Modern Library Paperback Classic includes posthumously discovered reviews, criticism, and interviews, as well as the essay collections Shadow and Act (1964), hailed by Robert Penn Warren as "a body of cogent and subtle commentary on the questions that focus on race," and Going to the Territory (1986), an exploration of literature and folklore, jazz and culture, and the nature and quality of lives that black Americans lead. "Ralph Ellison," wrote Stanley Crouch, "reached across race, religion, class and sex to make us all Americans."
- African American Inventors (Black Stars) by Otha Richard Sullivan
(Wiley, 2011-04-19, Paperback)

This outstanding collection brings to light these and dozens of other exciting and surprising tales of inventors and discoverers who lived their dreams.
- Shadow and Act by Ralph Ellison
(Vintage, 2011-06-01, Kindle Edition)
With the same intellectual incisiveness and supple, stylish prose he brought to his classic novel Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison examines his antecedents and in so doing illuminates the literature, music, and culture of both black and white America. His range is virtuosic, encompassing Mark Twain and Richard Wright, Mahalia Jackson and Charlie Parker, The Birth of a Nation and the Dante-esque landscape of Harlem – "the scene and symbol of the Negro's perpetual alienation in the land of his birth." Throughout, he gives us what amounts to an episodic autobiography that traces his formation as a writer as well as the genesis of Invisible Man. On every page, Ellison reveals his idiosyncratic and often contrarian brilliance, his insistence on refuting both black and white stereotypes of what an African American writer should say or be. The result is a book that continues to instruct, delight, and occasionally outrage readers thirty years after it was first published.

Candy Shoppe Black & Pink T-Shirt
Building on my Candy Shoppe Girl challenge, last weekend I finished a cutsew top. This t-shirt pulls many of the same ideas and shares fabric from its sister dress from the previous weekend. Where it differs mostly is that it feels slightly more grown up than the dress. The addition of a dot tulle overlay mimics the yoke from the dress. But the difference in fabric combination creates a new energy.
Instead of a matching lace collar, I used the black jersey to make the peter pan collar. However, the lace collar last time was the jumping off point for selecting a similar black lace to finish the edges of the tulle overlay. One of my biggest complaints with standard issues t-shirts is I the sleeves are always very short. I choose to cut these just an inch or two above the elbow. It provides good coverage and comfort on a warm day. My target for this collection is autumn/spring. So its nice to have items that can be layered as well as some short and some long sleeve pieces.
The back is simple. But I couldn't resist. Just had to add a little something. I can't remember exactly where, but in one of the Shibuya shopping complexes I stumbled on a Daiso-like discount store. They had a small craft section that had really cute iron on patches. I picked up a few of these pink dot ribbons in a couple different sizes. I think it works as a subtle nod to the white ribbon fabric from the dress.
The tulle is super soft and super squirmy. I serged the edge to give me a little something to run a gathering stitch through. I then used a ruler to line up the edge on the fabric and pinned it generously all around the bodice. The photo shows my progress before pinning the neckline and underarms. I absolutely love the finished effect. And I have waited a very long time to try this technique.
What pleases me most about this top is it is all me. I know this wont sound that big of a deal, but I drafted the pattern. Sure it is a very basic t-shirt shape, I know, not that complicated. But as I have no formal sewing training, it is a big deal to me that I could wing this one without a commercial pattern. Pretty proud right now.
Since I paired the top with my Angelic Pretty Milky-chan skirt, it felt only fitting to bring some of Milky's friends into the photo shoot. The ceramic rabbit canister and origami fox came from Target. The mini-Milky I found at Kinokuniya. And then there is the holy grail of Lolita, my most prized possession. When I was in Tokyo last spring, Angelic Pretty's Fresh Picked Strawberries had just been released. In the Marui One shop I was fortunate enough to get the novelty fair glass ice cream bowl with my purchase. \(≧∇≦)/
