Nintendo DS
"Pick up and play." The DS is the first Nintendo system to include wireless functions, allowing it to link up with other DS's without any wires or add-ons. This was also the first system Nintendo made to go online (Mario Kart DS being the first Nintendo-made online game), using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. On the original DS and the DS Lite, WPA encrypted networks are not supported. The Nintendo DS had the , , , , and buttons from the Game Boy Advance, plus two new buttons: and , making it identical to the SNES. Before the official name's release, Iris was the first codename for the handheld that would be the successor of the Game Boy Advance. Later, it was called Nitro[2] when the new device created had two screens. The Nintendo DS (including DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL) sold 128.90 million units as of 2010, making it Nintendo's best selling video game console and the highest-selling handheld console in the world. [3][4] In February of 2011, the DS line was superseded by the Nintendo 3DS. Since May 20th 2014, online play for many Nintendo DS games has been discontinued because the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service has discontinued. However, players can still access the DSi Shop to buy games. [5] The graphical capability of the DS is said to be on par with the Nintendo 64, albeit with enhanced 3D modeling but more pixelated textures due to lack of texture filtering. Contents
Models[edit]Nintendo DS Lite[edit]A newer model named the Nintendo DS Lite was released in 2006 and contains all the features of the original Nintendo DS with some new features such as a significantly brighter screen (with four adjustment options), a lighter weight, and a smaller overall size (having the negative side effect of a regular Game Boy Advance cartridge protruding out from the bottom, similar to playing a Game Boy or Game Boy Color cartridge in the Game Boy Advance). The Nintendo DS Lite sold 89.19 million units as of 2010[citation needed]. It was also the final handheld system to have backwards compatibility with Game Boy Advance games. Nintendo DSi and DSi XL[edit]
A third model, called the Nintendo DSi, was announced on October 2nd, 2008. It is thinner, lighter, and brighter than the Nintendo DS Lite, having removed the Game Boy Advance slot. However, this means that the Nintendo DS Rumble Pack, which was used with titles such as Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, cannot be used. Two cameras, music playback functions, Wi-Fi, internet browser, larger screens, and a Wii-like channel interface were added. Additionally, the console supports WPA encrypted networks. The DSi is also able to download games from the Nintendo DSi Shop, which are then stored on an SD Card or in internal memory. It was released in Japan on November 1st, 2008, in North America on April 5th 2009 and in Europe on April 13th, 2009. The DSi's front has a camera lens, and another, smaller lens is located where the mic was positioned on the Lite, allowing for photos to be taken with the DSi. In 2009, Nintendo later released the Nintendo DSi XL, with the "XL" standing for "Extra Large." It is also the heaviest of the four models. [6] Stylus[edit]The Stylus is a pencil-like accessory that comes included with the Nintendo DS system. The instrument is often used in conjunction with the touch screen. Usually, the stylus is used to make menu selections, which the player can do by bringing the stylus in contact with their selection on the touch screen. The stylus is often helpful or required in gameplay. For example, New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 64 DS, and Wario: Master of Disguise require the use of the stylus for minigames such as Wanted! and Roach Smash. The stylus is also necessary to make Mini Mario toys jump, in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. On the DS, the stylus slot is located on the back, and is inserted downwards, relatively to the DS itself. On the DS Lite and DSi, however, it was relocated to the right side of the system, and is inserted from right to left, relative to the DS Lite or DSi. The stylus for the DS is noticeably thinner than the stylus for the DS Lite. A DS generally comes with two styluses, and extras can be purchased from stores or special ones from promotions. See also[edit]Microphone[edit]The Microphone is a feature on the Nintendo DS. On the original DS, it is at the lower left-hand corner, right below the screen. On the DS Lite, it is at the middle in between the two screens. Its function is to accept audio input. On the DSi, this position is replaced by the Camera, and the Microphone was moved about 2 cm to the right. Blowing into it will allow events to happen in the game that the player is playing, such as Toad Jump. In other games, the player must say words into the Microphone. In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, the player must clap into the mic to gain inspiration from the crowd in Long Jump and Triple Jump. Also, in the game Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the player needs to use the microphone at certain points, such as breathing out fire as Giant Bowser. Appearances in the Mario series[edit]WarioWare: Touched![edit]The plot of WarioWare: Touched! revolves around Wario obtaining a gaming console resembling a Nintendo DS and using it to market new microgames. Occasionally, a Nintendo DS can be seen in the Pushing Buttons microgame. Mario Kart DS[edit]One of the battle courses in Mario Kart DS is the Nintendo DS. Also some billboards in Mario Circuit features a picture of the DS. Mario & Luigi series[edit]Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Shroobs call Shroob UFOs by using a silver, flip-top communicator. Because the Nintendo DS has the capability to send verbal messages to friends, this may be a reference to the Nintendo DS. Additionally, Professor Elvin Gadd is shown to own a Nintendo DS with an apparent time radar he used to locate Princess Peach at the beginning of the game; he later uses the DS to operate the Hydrogush 4000. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story[edit]In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the Emoglobins that run the Gauntlet and Cholesteroad are shaped like DS systems. Additionally, Dark Fawful uses a device that resembles a Nintendo DS to track down the Dark Star. WarioWare: Smooth Moves[edit]In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, a Nintendo DS appears in the microgames Brain Age, and Wario Hunting as one of the possible baits. Super Paper Mario[edit]Super Paper Mario includes a computer console called the Dining Specializer, which is modeled after the Nintendo DS Lite (and can also be abbreviated "DS"). There is also a two-screened handheld that resembles a Nintendo DS known as a Training Machine, which the fortune teller Merluvlee wanted to use to train her brain (which, in turn, is a reference to the popular DS title, Brain Age and in PAL regions "Brain Training"). Mario Strikers Charged[edit]In Mario Strikers Charged, Strikers' Times are shown on the Touch Screen of a Nintendo DS Lite. Mario Party DS[edit]In Mario Party DS when the player defeats Bowser at the end of the story mode, the five Sky Crystals join and form something like a crystal Nintendo DS, unlocking Triangle Twisters. Super Smash Bros. series[edit]Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]One of the names that can appear whenever a player presses the random button when they're naming their custom stage is "DS". Also, a stage based on the PictoChat included in the Nintendo DS makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, complete with its very own DS emblem. Finally, in the Trophy Hoard option, a black Nintendo DS Lite appears in the background with the presents. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS features a successor to the original PictoChat stage, PictoChat 2. Donkey Kong Country Returns[edit]In Donkey Kong Country Returns, if left idle for long enough, Donkey Kong will pull out a Nintendo DS Lite to play a game. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon[edit]In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Luigi uses a device called the Dual Scream to communicate with Professor Elvin Gadd. The Dual Scream is essentially the equivalent of the Game Boy Horror (similar to a Game Boy Color) that Luigi uses in Luigi's Mansion. Galleries[edit]System gallery[edit]

The Horse Forum
- Horse Health
- - People against bathing a horse
People against bathing a horse So I have heard a lot about how you shouldn't bathe a horse often because its strips the natural oils out of there hair. I know this is true but I have always had the mind set that most humans do the same thing every day to every other day. So why do we think its ok to do to us but not our horses? Well I think I may have found a solution for both horse and human. I started a couple of months ago boycotting shampoo and conditioner and instead "shampooing" my hair with baking soda and "conditioning" my hair with apple cider vinegar(I use 1 tablespoon of baking soda to 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to 1 cup of water). The result is soft, silky hair without stripping my hair of my natural oils. Given because, like most people, I have grown up with shampoo and conditioner, my body was at first over producing natural oils because the shampoo would strip it out and now my hair gets a lot less oily because it's going back to the way nature intended it too. So now I'm thinking that you could do the same thing with a horse. Just to be clear, I'm not saying that we should give a horse a bath every day but if the horse needs a bath (whether a show is coming up or your horse has turned themselves into a walking mud ball) use a baking soda solution to clean them up, rather then shampoo. So what do you guys think? Just as a note, when you use the baking soda and apple cider vinegar it doesn't feel like you're doing anything because we are so use to foaming shampoo and silky smooth conditioner but once your hair dries its clean, soft and silky. Posted via Mobile Device |
Since I only bathe my horses infrequently, I hardly think shampoo and conditioner are going to hurt them when I do. In the summer I hose them off almost every day, but full on bathing, no. If it makes you feel better to bathe them with baking soda and ACV, have at it. If that concoction works for your hair as well, great. My hair tends to be dry not oily, so I need something to help it NOT be flyaway and unmanageable. |
baking soda will strip and Blow out the cuticle on your hair. I am a hair stylist and I have used Baking Soda to clarify and get meds out of hair. If you think Baking soda does not hurt your hair keep using it But it will Dry it out for sure. and the apple cider vinegar is just Coating the hair not conditioning it. If you use good shampoo and conditioner and shampoo as needed you should not be stripping your hair of oils. |
My horses get hosed over regularly in the hot weather as they sweat so much and they get shampooed when they need it. Rubbing them over with some light oil soon stops any dry coat worries If you're worried about your own hair then switch to shampoos and conditioners that are sulfate and silicone free and buy ones that are aimed at hair that's 'dry' |
You can overdo anything, including bathing your horse. Usually, this doesn't happen. I gave mine a LOT of baths last summer bc it was so dreadfully hot. Mostly they were outside water baths, but I shampooed them, too. I usually wash their legs down with some Mane N'Tail in the water after summer workouts. It helps keep away the flies, and it cools them down quickly without shocking the system. You do the same with a human who is overheated, that is, cooling the extremities, first. Just don't blow a gasket when they roll and dirty up again right after you turn them out. =P |
just don't put the baking soda and vinegar on at the same time! Do you recall grade school Science Fairs? the amazing baking soda and vinegar volcano? |
In the summer time I used to hose down my horses almost everyday. But I rarely use shampoo, maybe once a year. |
Rinse with ACV in warm water with sponge, scrape off for summer, bathe infrequently. And touch of baking soda in shampoo does wonders for humans as it leaves hair free of styling things. |
I know there is a lot of debates on baking soda and apple cider vinegar but I have always been open minded about things and that is why I try before I will suggest something. And I have honestly never had my hair as healthy as it is now and I also don't wash my hair as often (I do take showers in between washes). Call me crazy but I find this way the best way for me. Here is a short passage from an article I have read about baking soda and apple cider vinegar and the link to the full article. " Apple cider vinegar is a mild acidic made from fermenting apples, the acid content is usually only around 3-5% in store-bought ACV. It has a lot of health benefits when taken internally, too! When used on your scalp, it helps promote circulation, acts as a natural antiseptic, and dissolves excessive fatty deposits and reduces scaling or peeling of the skin. As for use on hair, it helps to clarify, detangle, balances hair's pH level and seals the cuticles. Some people are bothered by the smell, but be assured that the smell should dissipate within a moment or two of rinsing. If it doesn't, you're using too much in your solution! Baking soda is the weakest alkali of sodium compounds, it would take using a lot to do damage to your skin or hair. It has a lot of useful properties like deodorizing, leavening (for baking), whitening, polishing and clarifying. You only need a little bit, regardless of what you're using it for. Just like with vinegar, a little goes a long way. Plain water can remove almost all the dirt you can get in your hair, but a little baking soda can not only remove the rest, but take care of the build-up from hair products, shampoos and anything else you might pick up. Some people find that over time, using baking soda in their hair will lighten the colour - although most agree that if this happens you're using it too much, and perhaps not using enough ACV. Once or twice a week is fine, even less if your hair is in very good condition or easy to manage. " babyslime: Info: Shampoo Free Posted via Mobile Device |
my grandmother used to shampoo my hair with a raw egg and rinse with vinegar and water. |

Celebrity Pacific Coastal Cruise 2012: Celebrity Millennium Cruise Review by SeaDawg61
Overall Member Rating
Celebrity Pacific Coastal Cruise 2012
Destination: British Columbia
Embarkation: San Diego
We went into this with a fairly open mind as first time cruisers as to what to expect and were not at all disappointed. Also, it should be noted the running joke during the course of the cruise was this was my "first" cruise where I did not have to work as I am retired navy.
Booked the 5 day Pacific Coastal cruise on Celebrity Millennium as this was the second cruise after the Solictization refit. Flew down to San Diego two days prior to the arrival of Millennium and stayed two nights at the Holiday Inn - On the Bay literally across the street from the cruise ship pier, had a bay view room in the hotel and the morning of the cruise opened my balcony curtains to see the ship across the street from my room.
Had a late More check out at 2pm and walked across the street to the terminal dropped off our bags and proceeded to the security screening and check-in. All total from the time we entered the security screening and check-in to getting to our stateroom it probably was all of 25-30 minutes, but about what you might expect for checking in close to 2000 passengers on a ship (try that with 2000 passengers and TSA at any major airport)There was the customary champagne and mimosas that were nice, as we got onboard everyone was gathering at the first elevators near the gangway, so we wandered aft and found the aft elevators pretty much empty and went right up to our stateroom, the only issue here was the time it took for luggage to arrive at our stateroom, well after the muster brief and just as we were getting underway, (note we had been onboard for almost two hours now.)
Once we got unpacked and settled in we used the time to go explore the ship and find a nice spot for the sail-away which was a fantastic view of the San Diego city.
Dining - first night we chose to eat at the Ocean View Grill on deck 10 which had a very nice selection of entree items set in a buffet style arrangement. Also purchased a specialty dining package for the Olympic Room during our at sea evening after San Francisco which was superb, service, menu selection (Chilean Sea Bass) and wine selections were all outstanding. A couple of nights we chose the MDR as we also had the option of select dining and had the same window seat on the port and as well I was impressed with the menu selections and presentation (Lamb shank which fell off the bone.)
We also purchased a premium drink package and I must say Keisha and Michael in the casino bar, and the gentleman from the Martini bar had it most entertaining and enjoyable experience. On the last night of our cruise we watched one of the bar tenders at the Martini bar pour a Martini flight of 24 glasses at one time! Very entertaining to watch.
Entertainment wise we checked out the Celebrity theater the first night underway and after that it was mostly Cosmos, Michaels and the lounge.
As we had a concierge class stateroom we took advantage of the enhanced room service menu and enjoyed breakfast each morning on the veranda. And would also like to thank our stateroom attendant Willy for outstanding service and attention to detail while making our trip enjoyable. There were some minor issues as a result of the refit in our stateroom that were corrected during the cruise, such as during the resurfacing of the veranda deck in our stateroom there were glue foot prints on the threshold of the sliding door and splashes of paint and glue on the outside glass, but these were taken care of during port visits while away from the ship.
All in all, I was very impressed and had a most relaxing vacation during my first cruise and enjoyed meeting our new cruise friends Dave and Patty from Louisiana, and all the wonderful crew members who worked so hard to make our first cruise so much fun and relaxing. Less

Dell's Expanding Indian Footprint
India is clearly on the mind of Dell (DELL) Chairman Michael Dell. At the World Economic Forum meeting of business and economic leaders in Davos, Switzerland, he was glued to the Indian contingent: Dell attended a bash to celebrate India's Republic Day, chatted up business executives from the South Asian nation, and on the side met with Indian Commerce Minister Kamal Nath (see BW Online, 1/30/06, "Selling India Inc. at Davos").
So it seems only fitting that India is the focus of the latest expansion announcement by the world's largest computer maker. Boosting its investment in India, Dell is setting up another call center there, its fourth since 2001. On top of that, according to Nath, Dell is expected to begin building a computer-assembly plant in India in the next two months.
A Dell spokesman declined to comment on any specific plans to build a plant. "We realize that as we grow our business in India, it'll require a manufacturing facility," says spokesman Jess Blackburn at Dell headquarters in Round Rock, Tex. He also wouldn't confirm Indian press reports indicating that Dell would hire a total of 5,000 Indian workers over the next two years.
But there's little doubt that as sales growth in its core U.S. market slows, Dell needs to increase revenue in India as part of a larger strategy of global expansion. "Emerging markets are growing well for them, but not enough to compensate for slowing in the U.S.," says Jason Maxwell, an analyst at TCW, an asset-management and mutual-fund company that holds Dell shares.
At the moment, Dell's sales in India are tiny. It sold 43,450 computers there in the third quarter of 2005, compared with 9.48 million worldwide, according to market researcher IDC. Dell's market share in India was 3.66%, compared with Lenovo's 9.1% and Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) 19.05%, says IDC. For the entire Asia Pacific region, for the nine months ended Oct. 28, Dell's revenue was $4.87 billion, or about 11.9% or total sales, up from $4.03 billion, or about 11.2% of sales the prior year.
Opening an assembly plant would likely bolster Dell's sales in India, as a local factory would let it ship computers to Indian customers more quickly. Currently, Dell's closest factories are located in China and Malaysia. Within India's population of more than 1 billion people is a rapidly growing middle class that's hungry for computers as well as other consumer electronics. According to Semico Research, 2006 sales of personal computers in India are expected to reach 6.25 million, up 18% from 2005. Dell follows a raft of PC and software giants in broadening operations in India (see BW Online, 1/11/06, "Oracle Ups Its Indian Ante").
A Dell assembly plant in India would also mark a victory for the country, which has long been trying to attract tech companies to open hardware facilities there. Cell-phone makers Nokia (NOK) and Motorola (MOT) already plan to open factories in India. But India has been less successful in luring other companies. It's particularly keen to attract semiconductor-manufacturing facilities but hasn't snared any yet (see BW Online, 12/6/05, "Intel's Eager Passage to India").
While Dell has factories and call centers in many countries in Southeast Asia and North Asia, India is the only country on the subcontinent where it has significant operations. Dell opened its first Indian sales office in Bangalore in 1996. Five years later, it set up its first call center in that city. The PC outfit opened call centers in Hyderabad and Mohali in 2003 and 2005.
Besides having a large well-educated, English-speaking workforce, "where India has great infrastructure is in telecom," Chairman Dell said at a gathering of analysts last year. The company also plans to double the size of its India-based product-development team during the next two years. Dell now has about 300 workers in that area, working on products, including servers and storage systems, for business customers.
By the end of 2006, the newest call center, to be located in the city of Gurgaon, is expected to add 700 to 1,000 jobs in India. Dell already employs about 10,000 in India, or about 16% of its total workforce of 63,000. The call centers in India play an especially key role: While Dell's 30 other centers take calls from customers only in their own regions, the centers in India are the only ones that take calls from customers worldwide.
If Dell's computer sales in India take off, those call-center representatives will increasingly find themselves helping their own countrymen.

Happy New Year! The new seed catalogues are here.
Those of us addicted to gardening were getting pretty antsy for a fix. I got a chance to read through three of my new catalogues and I'm thrilled with the selections.
Many of you may not start things from seed. Perhaps you don't grow a big enough garden. Many of you grow just a few things in containers. Seeds are still a great way to start your garden when you want.
We all know that we have a lot of winter yet to go before we turn that first shovel. It's hard to wait.

United Nations: Nearly two years after the killing of al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, the UN Security Council has deleted his name from its sanctions list. "Prior to the unfreezing of any assets that have been frozen as a result of the listing of bin Laden, Member States shall submit to the Committee a request to unfreeze such assets and shall provide assurances to the Committee that the assets will not be transferred, directly or indirectly, to a listed individual, group, undertaking or entity, or otherwise used for terrorist purposes," the statement added. (Agencies) Latest News from World News Desk
The powerful 15-member council, however, will continue a freeze on bin Laden's assets to prevent them from being used by others for terrorist activities. In a statement, the Security Council's al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee said bin Laden's name had been deleted from its list for a travel ban and arms embargo.
Bin Laden, who masterminded 9/11 terror attacks on the US that left nearly 3,000 people dead, was killed by American special forces in a covert raid in Pakistan's garrison city of Abbottabad on May 2, 2011. The statement also said that UN member states would have to make a special request to the sanctions committee before any assets are released.
The Committee maintains a list of individuals and entities subject to the sanctions measures. The al-Qaeda Sanctions List currently includes 233 individuals and 63 organizations, foundations and companies. The list is updated regularly on the basis of relevant information provided by Member States and international and regional organizations. The first sanctions were imposed against Taliban in November 1999. The sanctions were later extended to al-Qaeda and in June 2011, the Security Council voted unanimously to treat al-Qaeda and Taliban separately.

Cabbage Roll Casserole
Cabbage roll casserole is a dish which combines chopped or shredded cabbage with several other ingredients like meat (beef, chicken, turkey etc), rice, onions, tomatoes, etc. The recipe for this casserole suggests the use of ground meat, which is often browned with onions before combining it with other ingredients. The casserole is dressed with a mix of several ingredients which may vary from one recipe to the other, an example of which suggests combining together water, tomato juice, and salt. It is not necessary to bake the casserole in oven only. Skillet or crock pot can also be used for the preparation of this savory dish.
Commonly Used Ingredients and Preparation Overview of Cabbage Roll Casseroles
There are a number of ways of preparing cabbage roll casserole, with each variation suggesting the use of different ingredients, while retaining the main ingredient, cabbage. Among several recipe variations, one of them suggests the use of chopped cabbage, ground beef, chopped onions, tomato sauce, white rice, beef broth, and salt.
Tomato sauce, onions, cabbage, salt, and uncooked rice are combined together and mixed with browned meat, before pouring the entire content in a baking dish. The beef broth is poured over the meat mix, and the casserole is covered before baking it in preheated oven for around an hour and baked again for another half an hour after removing the cover.
Cabbage Roll Recipe Variations
Among several recipe variations, a few have been explained below:
- Lazy cabbage roll casserole- a big greased casserole container is taken and lined with shredded cabbage, followed by placing uncooked rice, half of browned ground beef (beef is browned in oil with onions), again cabbage, and the remaining meat, with a layer of cabbage on the top. A mixture of salt, tomato juice, and water is prepared and poured over the casserole, before placing the dish in oven.
- Turkey and cabbage roll casserole- onions, turkey, green bell peppers, and celery are cooked in a skillet until brown; sprinkled with a mix of parsley, oats, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; topped with shredded cabbage; coated with a mix of tomato sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar; and cooked on low-flame (covered) for around half an hour.
- Crock pot cabbage roll casserole- turkey sausage is sautéed with garlic and onions, and the mix is placed in crock pot (slow cooker), combined with crushed tomatoes, cooked rice, and boiled shredded cabbage, and cooked for a few hours. The meat may either be turkey, chicken, or beef.

I like group conversations because other people can tell stories or ask questions, and I can dip into or out of the conversation when I want. So Hacklab tends to work for me, since there are occasionally good group conversations there, and people are friends with each other.
I started to write a blog post about preparing for winter, something along the lines of being less social because of the activation costs of having to put on coats and take the subway instead of the bike. But I started looking at the numbers from my time tracking (counting both business-related and social non-family connecting time), and I've actually been less social in summer. I suppose it makes sense – meetups go on hiatus, people have other plans, and I'm off enjoying quiet time gardening or biking.
So maybe this fall and winter will be more social after all. Maybe I'll make it out to Hacklab once or twice a week, and maybe I'll start checking out meetups again. It's good to practice connecting with people in person — although it's certainly quite tempting to stay home, too. I have the sneaky suspicion that these online conversations might even be more worthwhile and longer-lasting. Still, there's time to experiment with things, so why not?

Furniture Galaxy, Serta Canada win dRSG top honors for 2013
March 8, 2013
The presentations were made at the recently concluded Canadian Home Furnishings Market here.
Steve Braniff, dRSG director, said the Member of the Year Award goes to the member who achieves the sales increase for the year. Murray Murphy and his son, Teegan, owners of the two-unit Furniture Galaxy, had the group's highest annual increase in 2012.
Before the opening of this year's Canadian Home Furnishings Market in Toronto, dRSG held a full day of meetings for its members, capped off with a gala dinner and awards presentation, which saluted the 15 original members who joined the group when it was launched in 2006.
The group, in collaboration with Whirlpool Canada and CitiFinancial, also gave away three trips for two to either Florida or Hawaii to three attending members - Lounsbury Furniture of Moncton, New Brunswick; McKarr's Furniture of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan; and Birt's Furniture of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

NEW YORK, NY, June 11, 2009 – Christopher Graves, President and Regional CEO of Ogilvy Public Relations Asia Pacific, has been appointed global CEO of Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, a global, multi-disciplinary communications leader, succeeding Marcia Silverman who has led the company for seven years. Marcia will become Chair of Ogilvy PR. Both appointments become effective January 1, 2010.
Since joining Ogilvy PR in 2005, Christopher Graves, 50, has roughly doubled the agency's size in Asia Pacific, growing the network into the industry leader in the world's fastest-growing region by any measure, from size, to client roster, to specialist offerings, to awards and accolades. Under his leadership, Ogilvy PR has seen phenomenal development in scale and creativity across all marketing disciplines. He has crafted clear goals and made investments to grow the network into the future and built a strong leadership team in Asia Pacific across 15 countries, dominating in major markets such as China and Australia. Graves collaborates closely with staff and agency leaders around the world and flourishes in the 360-degree marketing communications environment with partner Ogilvy & Mather.
Graves has cultivated relationships with such leading organizations as The World Economic Forum, authored papers and spoken on emerging trends in social media, recession marketing, shifting demographics, and the changing dynamics of influence. He has also created intellectual properties for Ogilvy PR such as immersive workshops on: crisis management; business model disruption; and effective storytelling for business outcomes.
In making the announcement, Ogilvy & Mather CEO Miles Young, said, "Marcia has done an outstanding job of securing Ogilvy PR's reputation as a premier, integrated communications agency built on strong client service. She has earned extraordinary affection inside and outside the business. Marcia has gathered together a strong and harmonious global management team, and driven new innovations in the critical social media space. She will be an exceedingly hard act to follow and are delighted that she will become Chair of Ogilvy PR to further develop client relationships and shape the agency's global strategy."
Regarding Graves, Young added, "In Chris, we have a successor who will take the work forward with flair and élan. He is driven by clients and content, and is an embodiment of the pervasive creativity and outward focus which will push Ogilvy PR forward in its resolve to become the best public relations network. He is truly a citizen of the world; he knows all the issues, and relishes being at the leading most edge, articulating and influencing them. We are incredibly fortunate to have both Marcia and Chris at the helm of Ogilvy PR."
Commenting on her successor, Silverman stated, "Chris has an exceptional track record of building business and providing superior client service. I'm certain he will bring the same focus on quality and success to our global organization."
The Ogilvy PR and Ogilvy & Mather senior leadership will work to secure a successor to the Asia Pacific regional CEO position of Ogilvy PR between now and the end of 2009.
Graves joined Ogilvy PR in 2005 after 23 years in business news, most recently with Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal. Chris was one of the founders of Wall Street Journal Television, managing editor of Asia Business News, vice president of news and programming for CNBC Asia, vice president of news and programming for CNBC Europe, managing director of business development (EMEA & Asia) for Dow Jones Consumer Electronic Publishing (WSJ.com) and managing director of Far Eastern Economic Review. Chris's accolades include an EMMY nomination, the 2007 PR Professional of the Year by PRWeek Asia, as well as a number of awards from Asia PR Awards, The New York Film and Television Festivals and the Asian Television Awards for programming made under his supervision.

sweet shots Gaelen. I like how you have pics of people running to BK Bowl. haha
Gotta love that French Horn.
Thanks David :]
There would have been more running shots, but I was too scared I'd be trampled by a smelly, damp, blur once the majority of the audience picked up speed.
The crowd was especially damp and smelly at that one. The pit was like one big bowl of sweat, beards, and BO. So worth it though.
show was awesome and yes there were so many soaked people
Myself included. I got to the door at Brooklyn Bowl as they reached capacity. It was another 2 hours standing in the rain before I got in.

Yeah. Is it considered okay to give things negative scores all the time?

So maybe they could make one where the character is just generally badass and not powered by basically being a Molotov cocktail ofPMSemotions? Then again, maybe that's just me being reductive. Maybe Other M doesn't involve any sort of unpleasant stereotyping.
Even then, that's not that big a reason. Well, I guess that SMB2 is not readily available in hard copy form at Gamestops since the chuckleheads stopped selling used GBA games and new DS systems can't play GBA games for some dumb-assed reason.

There's a lot of buzz in the ether about "going green" lately. Oprah did a show on it and showed it twice in the span of a few months. I happened to catch it both times and, both times I found it very interesting.The first time I watched, I accepted the show's challenge to change just one thing that I do to make an environmental impact. That day, I started turning off the water while I brush my teeth (Which saves 4 gallons a minute. That's 200 gallons a week for a family of four.) This time, I feel ready to make a couple of more changes.It is easy to get overwhelmed because there are a lot of statistics out there about how much water and energy it takes to make this or that and about how petroleum (i.e. oil and fossil fuels) is burned for the energy to make packaging for products like liquid body wash. That tears it! I'm switching to bar soap in my shower. It's kind of exciting because now I can shop for fancy bars of soap and display them in my bathroom (if I can find space). I like these at Etsy from Dennis Anderson. I would also like to try switching to eco-friendly grocery bags. Up until now, I've been getting plastic bags at the store and saving them (in empty Kleenex boxes – thanks to Amanda) to use as waste basket liners. You can get a whole grocery shopping set for under sixty dollars at Eco Bags. Even though it's just a small start, I feel like I'm really making a difference. The Antlers is up for a Green Business of the Year Award right now, too! Wish us luck.

Thanks for a great post! I just switched to reusable grocery bags (and was pleasantly surprised to learn that King Soopers gives a 5 cent rebate per bag used); now I'll try the toothbrushing trick!

Dallan picked up a right ankle injury during the second half of last Sunday's 50-9 defeat against England.
"Manuel is 95% recovered and thus he has won himself at least a place on the bench," said Azzurri coach John Kirwan when announcing his team.
Padova centre Matteo Barbini will replace Dallan in Italy's starting line-up, while full-back Andrea Masi's absence hands a first RBS 6 Nations start for South African-born Roland De Marigny.
Kirwan has also brought in Stade Francais full-back Mirco Bergamasco for winger Nicola Mazzucato, who will join Dallan on the bench.
"We have to improve our defence and when we have broken our rivals' line, we have to have more eagerness to get a try. Trying to sustain our play with more men, that is what I expect from my men tomorrow," added Kirwan.
Italy team to play France in RBS 6 Nations match at the Stade de France:
Roland De Marigny (Overmach Parma); Mirco Bergamasco (Stade Francais), Cristian Stoica (Montpellier), Matteo Barbini (Padova), Denis Dallan (Treviso); Rima Wakarua (Brescia), Paul Griffen (Calvisano); Andrea Lo Cicero (Lazio), Fabio Ongaro (Treviso), Martin Castrogiovanni (Calvisano), Santiago Dellape (Treviso), Marco Bortolami (Padova), Andrea De Rossi (Calvisano, capt), Aaron Persico (Leeds), Sergio Parisse (Treviso).
Replacements: Carlo Festuccia (SK Gran Parma), Salvatore Perugini (Calvisano), Carlo Checchinato (Treviso), Silvio Orlando (Treviso), Simon Picone (Treviso), Manuel Dallan (Treviso), Nicola Mazzucato (Calvisano).

Blade CX2 RTF Electric Coaxial Micro Helicopter
Key Features
Now includes aluminum head/hub, over-current protection, PTC resettable fuse devices, 3-in-1 control unit and Spektrum™ AR6100e receiver
Flight-ready—no assembly required
Test-flown at the factory to ensure proper setup out of the box
Interference-free, 5-channel E-flite® transmitter with built-in Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM® technology
Coaxial, counter-rotating rotor blades that make hovering easy
Two featherlight S60 super sub-micro servos—just 6.0 grams each
2-cell 7.4V 800mAh Li-Po battery pack with charge-protection circuitry
2–3 cell DC Li-Po balancing charger and AC adapter
Most parts compatible with the Blade® CX heli
This model is one of the many available for the Phoenix RC Flight Simulator
The Blade® CX2 takes the excitement and beginner-friendly flight stability of the original Blade CX and adds Spektrum™ 2.4GHz DSM® radio control that lets you fly anywhere, anytime without ever having to worry about interference. It's the first ready-to-fly RC aircraft of any kind to come with this extraordinary technology built in. In addition, the 4-in-1 control unit has been updated with improved gyro and tail control that gives the Blade CX2 even better tail response while minimizing drift. Two featherlight S60 super sub-micro servos provide powerful, precise cyclic control. Topping it all off is an aggressive new body design that looks fantastic in flight and is unlike anything else out there.
When it comes to micro heli fun everyone can enjoy, you simply can't beat the value and performance of the Blade CX2.
Product Specifications
RTF electric micro coaxial helicopter
Main Rotor Diameter:
13.6 in (345mm)
Gross Weight:
8.0 oz (227 g) with battery
16.42 in (417mm)
Motor Size:
180 (2 installed)
Control System:
2.4GHz DSM® 5-channel (included), 4-in-1 receiver/mixer/ESC/gyro (installed), S60 super sub-micro servos (2 installed)
Experience Level:
Detailed Information
The Blade CX2 coaxial, counter-rotating blades cancel out the rotational torque that makes hovering a conventional heli so difficult. Instead of a tail rotor, the Blade CX2 uses differential rotor speed for tail control, so the inherent stability of the counter-rotating blades is preserved in all phases of flight, making this a heli just about any first-time pilot can enjoy.
No assembly is needed, and there is nothing left to buy. In addition to the 2.4GHz DSM® 5-channel transmitter and 4 AA batteries, the Blade CX2 also includes a rechargeable 2-cell 7.4V 800mAh Li-Po battery pack with charge protection circuitry, DC Li-Po balancing charger, AC charger adapter and a step-by-step instructional VCD that helps ensure your first flight is a successful one.
E-flite also offers a number of aluminum option parts for the Blade CX2 including:
upper rotor head (EFLH1240), upper bearing holder (EFLH1244), lower rotor head (EFLH1245) and swashplate (EFLH1246),
that not only look great, but fly great and are durable too.
The Blade CX2 is the first ready-to-fly aircraft of any kind to come with advanced 2.4GHz DSM radio control technology built in. With DSM you never have to worry about interference from other RC users, nearby 2.4GHz devices or commercial transmission towers. There is no tuning and no channels to select. Just power up and fly.
The optional training gear set (EFLH1205, sold separately) makes learning to fly the Blade CX2 even easier than it already is by adding more stability and helping to prevent blade strikes.

Did you compensate for the solar flare activity this week?
I'm still learning my way around my Silvia. I have been roasting my own beans from Sweet Maria's, but I won't continue doing that once the sample pack runs out (almost done). It's too much work. I will probably stick to a local roaster (Kaldi's) that has some decent, affordable beans if I get them fresh. I need to practice more before springing for beans from Intelligentsia or CC. If visiting Saint Louis, Sump Coffee in South City is first class. The owner uses a Slayer espresso machine and pulls some excellent single-origin espresso shots. I was there a couple of weekends ago and had some Kenya beans from (I believe) Kuma. Tart, like a cranberry. Best espresso shot I've ever had.

Very little ( 1000 population) city in northern Finland, Lapland. Lives on tourists and reindeermen.
Japanese Mythology: Kami, of the Shinto pantheon.
Originally Lord/Lady of the Rice Harvest, then later (11th century-Gregorian calendar) Ianri takes up the added association of a fox god.
Also: Inari, noun (Japanese): Flavoured, boiled rice.
See Also:
Inari is the god of rice and foxes, and is depicted in mythology as a deity that (IIRC) has white foxes as messengers. And yes, there have been - and, according to recent sightings, now again are - arctic foxes in Lapland! Coincidence? I think not.
(No, I know only a little Japanese, so this isn't going to help. A friend of mine who noticed this correlation too knows Japanese but not Finnish that well. Any help for, er, comparative linguistics?)
Well, I never said they'd be too widely spread, I've lived for long time in Kuhmo, yet I've never seen a wolf. =) Finnish nature is a myth.
I find it strange how Japanese written in western charmap (a-z) actually pronounces almost exactly like that of Finnish. Based on my observations of translated and original-language subtitles, it would seem that except for some tricks (ie. 'w', 'n'), I, Finnish, actually could pronounce Japanese correctly, not the proper places of stress or tune, but otherwise.
Now, is this because of WWWWolf's conspiracy theory?
Or because Finnish comforms well to the generic text <=> speech translation RFC and Japanese, since its original written form was uncompatible with our charmap (you know, all those mysterious runes), had artificial our keymap <=> speech translation/pronounciation map created, which was, of course, created so that it conformed with the RFC well?
P.S. I hope that made sense.
P.P.S. WWWWolf, I live in inari (jaslak is my E1-user whose password I forgot) and I've never seen an (living, non-stuffed) arctic fox.
Inari is fried tofu nigiri. A small sleeve (much like a rectangular pita) of fried tofu has sushi rice inserted into it. Many sushi restaurants will also sprinkle sesame seeds onto the rice.
Noder's Note: Inari is a nice filler during a sushi dinner. Its flavor is very subtle, so it should only be dipped very lightly into your soy sauce/wasabi mix.

text: The Fascinating History Of The Garbage Truck And The Knoxville Mayor Behind ItZac Estrada10/28/12 12:30pmFiled to: Garbage TrucksTopFbDempsterGeorge Dempstershutterstock331EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkThe garbage truck celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. I know, you're thinking Jalopnik should have thrown it a real bash and we're so irresponsible for glossing over an incredibly important milestone like this. Apologies, really.AdvertisementWell, the garbage truck has a fascinating history that is often overlooked, or so people in the waste-hauling industry say. But there is a reason garbage trucks look the way they do, and they were revolutionized by a man who was a politician, businessman and inventor. And he was maybe the reason, as a kid, you ran to the window and watched as the truck articulated and lifted and swallowed the package last week's dinner came in. Or maybe that was just me. According to this history, garbage trucks began with horses pulling cars of stuff around. Then came modified versions of things like Ford Model Ts, which had only been around since 1908. These were way better than horses, but they were still little more than people throwing trash into the back of a Ford pickup truck, itself a pretty primitive, though effective, concept.AdvertisementThe idea of an enclosed trash truck, so things wouldn't fly out at speed, was started in Europe in the 1920s. It's actually kind of amazing it took someone that long to think of that, but anyway. The Americans thought of the waste hauler we're more familiar with today, the external hopper truck.But the reason these trucks surged in popularity was because of a man named George Roby Dempster. Dempster was from Knoxville, Tenn. and a businessman who made his mark in construction and road building before the Great Depression wiped him out. With a background in stuff that required heavy machinery, though, Dempster knew how much labor was required in hauling stuff. He saw garbage trucks of the time and the amount of effort needed for men to throw things into the bed of a truck. Thus, in 1935, the Dempster-Dumpster was born. Mouthful-of-a-name-aside, this dumpster was a container on a lift for workers to put waste in and then have it loaded into the covered part of the garbage truck. The front-loading dumpster fitted to garbage trucks to this day lowers from the top to the ground level where garbage is scooped up. This cut the amount of labor needed to haul stuff by 75 percent and the order books filled up. The website Classic Refuse Trucks (bet you didn't know that was a thing, did you?) has a ton of photos of old-school dump trucks, some of which are pretty amazing.Along the way, there have been side-loading trucks, ones with vacuums and lots of other variations on a theme. But none have surpassed the truck fitted with the Dempster-Dumpster because it's such a simple, but effective, idea. It's a device that's been adopted by just about every country, too. It is also where the term dumpster comes from, so there you go.AdvertisementSponsoredDempster's career went on to politics where he was mayor of Knoxville for 18 years, but he's best-known in the hauling business for his revolutionary invention.So as you're throwing a wicked party and going wild in honor of the garbage truck's centennial, pour one out for the man who strongly influenced the garbage truck as we know it today.Do you have any experience with these trucks, or great garbage truck memories?Photos credit Shutterstock, Classic Refuse Trucks, Dumpstars.net, Seattle Municipal Archives, knoxnews.comReply33 repliesLeave a reply

Southeast Missouri State University students, faculty, staff and the business operations
of the University have a profound impact on the regional economy. The Donald L. Harrison
College of Business was charged with the task of estimating the economic impact on
output, employment and income as a result of spending by students, employees and
the University for both its day-to-day operations and for construction.
Dr. Bruce Domazlicky, professor of economics and director of the Center for Economic and Business Research, estimated the multiplier effects of the spending by the three groups (students, employees and the University). He used IMPLAN software to construct a model that closely approximates the regional economy and then used the model to simulate the effects of the spending by the three groups.
There are three effects associated with an increase in spending in a region: direct, indirect and induced. When students purchase a good or service from a local merchant, the value of the purchase constitutes the direct effect. The merchant who sells to the students may, in turn, increase his or her purchases from other merchants in the region in order to supply the good or service, which constitutes the indirect effect. Finally, when economic activity increases due to more spending, incomes in the region rise, leading to additional spending, which is the induced effect. The sum of the indirect and induced effects is commonly known as the multiplier effect.
Information on student spending for this study was gathered from a survey completed in fall 2011. A representative sample of the student population at Southeast was chosen. The study was commissioned by the Office of the President. The original survey was designed by Dr. Charles Wiles, professor emeritus of marketing, who initiated the study of the economic impact of the University in 1970 and replicated the study in later periods. The most recent survey instrument went through a major update in 2003 by Dr. Judy Wiles, professor of marketing, with the assistance of students in an upper-level marketing course, Introduction to Business Research. Dr. John Cherry, professor of marketing, made additional updates to the survey in 2011. In fall 2011, students in his Introduction to Business Research course assisted in the implementation of the survey and presented initial results to an audience that included the president and the provost.
Averages from the survey respondents' reported spending categories were used to project to the greater student body to calculate a total economic impact. The survey and its estimates were based on an academic year (nine months).
It was estimated that students spend $63.6 million in the academic year in the Cape Girardeau area. The accompanying table shows the wide variety of goods and services purchased by students. Note that these expenditures do not include on-campus spending on items such as books, supplies, room and board, etc.
In addition, the study projected that students work 2.9 million hours during an academic year in both on-campus and off-campus employment with estimated earnings of more than $40 million.
University payroll data, adjusted for taxes and other employee deductions, were used to calculate the economic impact of employee spending in the 24-county service region. By definition, the impact of such spending of income is an induced impact.
University spending for day-to-day operations includes purchases from vendors within the University's 24-county service region. University purchases include a variety of goods and services, such as educational supplies, office supplies, equipment and repairs, basic maintenance, cleaning supplies, and advertising and printing, to name just a few.
Construction spending includes recognition of the $58.3 million in projects currently underway (Academic Hall, Magill Hall, deferred maintenance, conversion of power plant to natural gas installation) on the main campus. Contract amounts awarded to local contractors are used to estimate the impact of University spending for construction. It is likely that the impact of construction spending is underestimated since many out-of-region contractors use local subcontractors; however, it was not possible to determine the extent of subcontracting from the data that were available.
The primary purpose of Southeast Missouri State University is to increase the human capital of its students. Human capital is defined by economists as the ability of individuals to contribute to the output of the nation's goods and services. Human capital is dependent upon innate intelligence, educational attainment and work experience.
By increasing educational attainment, Southeast raises individuals' productive ability and therefore, contributes to economic growth and development in southeast Missouri, the state of Missouri and the nation.
A simple approach to measure Southeast's contribution to the human capital of individuals is to compare the annual average earnings of college graduates with high school graduates. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that in 2010, individuals in Missouri with a bachelor's degree earned an average of $16,720 more per year than individuals with only a high school diploma (or GED). In a capitalist economy such as in the United States, workers are paid according to their productivity. This differential between the two groups is a reasonable estimate of the additional annual output produced by Southeast graduates.
Given that 36,010 Southeast graduates live in the 24-county region served by Southeast plus St. Louis County and the city of St. Louis, the human capital effect is estimated to exceed $600 million per year. This is easily the largest impact that the University makes on the region.

Harvard's Andre Akpan scored the lone goal of the game
just two minutes into the second period to hand the No. 15 Brown
men's soccer team its first loss of the 2009 season. The No.
6 Crimson improved to 9-2-1 overall and remain undefeated in Ivy
League play with a 2-0-1 record, as the Bears dropped to 7-1-4
overall and own a 2-1 record in the league.
The game was an even battle, as both teams combined for 12 shots
this afternoon. The Crimson and Bears both tallied six in the first
period, including four shots on goal, but neither team could find
the back of the net. The squads stayed even in shots for the second
45 minutes of play, but Harvard's Andre Akpan was able to
come up with the golden goal at the 47:49 mark.
Akpan received a pass from Brian Rogers in the box and nailed a
bouncing shot that went past Brown goalkeeper Paul Grandstrand
(Orono, MN). Grandstrand earned his first loss of the year (7-1-4)
and earned four saves.
Brown's offense couldn't get one by Harvard's Austin
Harms in goal, who tallied five saves today, despite the Crimson
playing with just 10 guys on the field during the final 35 minutes
due to a red card. Sophomore Sean Rosa (Montreal, Quebec) led the
squad with a team-high four shots, three of which were on goal, as
Mike Manella (Toluca Lake, CA) added two shots.
The Bears will look to rebound when it takes on St. John's
at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 20, and will then travel to Ithaca to
challenge Cornell at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24.

Ready for the Pi-Face Digital? What's that? you ask.
Pi Interface Digital, or Pi-Face Digital, is a Raspberry Pi accessory board Premier Farnell will begin distributing in early 2013. You can plug it into a Raspberry Pi and start designing immediately. Plus, you can connect sensors to Pi-Face Digital for a variety of purposes, such as temperature- or pressure-monitoring applications.
The following useful information is posted at the University of Manchester's School of Computer Science site.
Pi-Face Digital is the first of a range of interfaces to allow the Raspberry Pi to control and manipulate the real world. It allows the Raspberry Pi to read switches connected to it – a door sensor or pressure pad perhaps, a microswitch or reed switch, or a hand held button. With appropriate easy to write code, the Raspberry Pi then drives outputs, powering motors, actuator, LEDs, light bulbs or anything you can imagine to respond to the inputs… The hardware provides an easy and consistent programming interface, in Scratch (as shown running on a Raspberry Pi in the photograph) and Python with good observability to promote easy development, and reduce technology barriers.
It will cost approximately €20 to €30. You can register at element14.

This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next When you buy a car, and pay in full, you should get the car's title. But, we found some Valley car buyers are being sold cars that have electronic liens attached to them – liens they didn't know about. They are debts that have to be paid before the title can be transferred to a new owner. Irvin Mayfield of Phoenix is one of those buyers. Irvin bought his first car from Easy Auto Sales in Phoenix earlier this year. He took it home and says the car ran well. He paid $2,500 for it. When he bought the car, he didn't know one important thing: "the previous owner had a lien on it and I would not be able to transfer the title into my name," he said. But, Irvin says the lien would cost him $4,400 – and he wasn't about to pay it. He has a family and was between jobs, plus, he didn't think he should have to pay it in the first place. It wasn't his debt to be paid. "It was frustrating, very frustrating," he said. Without being able to title the car for himself, he decided to go back to the dealer and ask for his money back. But, "he right away started yelling, saying 'I'm not going to give you your money back,'" he said. He tried to negotiate with the dealer, but, after a while, he had had enough. He decided to let me know about it. We went with Irvin to Easy Auto Sales and found the man he had been dealing with. He claimed he also didn't know the car had an unpaid lien on it when he sold it to Irvin. But, it didn't take long for him to give Irvin his money back. He said he would go right then to get his check, and he took off on his motorcycle. Less than a half an hour later, he was back, check in hand. He handed Irvin the check for $2,500 and apologized, saying he was "sorry for the inconvenience." We followed Irvin to the bank and watched as he cashed the check and got his money back. The dealer did the right thing. But, I haven't stopped getting complaints about titles with unpaid liens. It turns out, some liens are easy to see on a title, but others are not on the printed copy. Those are called electronic liens and they're often court-ordered. But, they're much harder to detect. The Arizona Department of Transportation sent me this explanation: "Vehicle loans from financial institutions are recorded electronically and also the lien information will be shown on a printed copy of the vehicle title. Electronic liens which may result from a court-ordered process are recorded electronically but will not be shown on a printed copy." They say a Motor Vehicle Title Record will have ALL recorded liens listed in the file. So, protect yourself. Before you buy a used car, make sure the owner gives you a current copy of the title record from the Motor Vehicle Division. Starting next Monday, all lien information will be printed on titles from that date on. So, you can easily see it. But, titles printed before that, like Irvin's title, could still have liens on them that you can't see. The owner is the only one who can get a copy of it. It costs $3.00 and they can obtain a copy at any MVD office or online at ServiceArizona.com. If you need help or need to warn others about a consumer problem or scam, let me know at email@example.com or by going to my "Let Joe Know" Facebook page. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

Download: Hunny's Bruising, Crashing "I'm History"
Hunny is the turn-of-the-millenium "return of the rock" played out in real time; it formed when the members of YIMBY-approved Staten Island dance-pop crew Paragraph got bored with glossy beats and threw their drum machines in the trash. The bruising grunge-metal gnashers' debut I'm History was recorded (and partially written) in 10 hours, a melodic version of the pre-major sludge-pop released by Melvins and Bleach-era Nirvana. Vocalist Michael "Super 60" has a voice that peaks out into a throaty garglehear it on the title track, which combines drunken, gently tuneless Mudhoney party-crash with Super 60's Cobain-like ability to scream two notes at once.
Download: Hunny, "I'm History"
Hunny bassist Joz Imburgio on "I'm History"
What is "I'm History" about?
We liked toying with the notion that there's this phrase a bully in an old after-school movie might say"That's it, nerd. You're history!"and it's an innocent enough phrase. But if you think about it for a second, there's this whole other heavy context. When we die, we really are history, only a part of the past... but we live on in the monuments we've left behind. It's also a bit tongue in cheek since in a way we're wiping our hands clean of the dance music that had grown old to us while we were in Paragraph, like "OK, that's it, outta here!"

"I'm History" is a bit of a two-parter, dealing with separate ideas of a contradictory nature. The verses concern that notion that all the stuff that happens in our lives, all the things we strive for, won't fully make sense until we're gone and our story is complete. We never get to see the end result of our labors, and the longer we live, the closer we get to a legacy we'll never see or know fully. The chorus of "I'm History" refers to the cognitive dissonance that can result from trying to decide between a stable life and living a more hedonistic lifestyle.
What inspired it musically?
We delved into a lot of Hüsker Dü and also the weird back catalog of Nirvana stuff. We were also really into the sludgy heaviness of the Melvins' Houdini, and the way the drums were heavy and powerful without having to be played fast. The song "I'm History" is basically a mash-up of the parts that gave us chills from several songs we loveHüsker Dü, "Don't Want to Know if You Are Lonely"; Nirvana, "Downer"; the way the vocals sustain over awesome chord changes in "Hybrid Moments" by Misfits; as well as a part in a song called "Indiana Jones" by some friends of ours in a band called Les Vinyl.
You recorded the album in one 10-hour session?
I can't really get into the details, but we had made a promise to someone that we would start and finish tracking the record in one night if they promised they wouldn't cause harm to themselves. A lot of the tracks were unfinished and were written in the studio. We had a lot of coffee and did all the tracking live, but we hadn't even played our first live show yet so it was a nerve-wracking process. Everything you hear is either a first or second take with minor guitar overdubs on only two songs.
How did you get burnt on dance-pop?
There was no one moment. It was just a slow steady decline of fun and creativity. We stopped getting along and the shows lost that old spark they used to have... Luckily we weren't an institution forced to embarrass itself like Metallica or something, and it was easier for us all to let go and start fresh. It's funny, since none of us particularly get along very well in this band either.
How did you discover Nirvana/Melvins records in the '90s? What did they mean to you?
Oddly enough, my mother first exposed me to Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Hole at a very early age, maybe eight or nine. She would only listen to these CDs when we weren't in the car because I guess they were kind of inappropriate. But since we were always running late in the morning when she'd drive my sister and I to school, the CD would already be playing at full blast and I'd get to hear snippets of In Utero that sounded like nothing I'd ever heard before. My rebellion against my parents' music manifested itself in, like, Smash Mouth records, so I was definitely misguided youth. Group consensus among the younger guys in Hunny puts the Spice Girls' eponymous CD as our favorite album while we were growing up in the '90s, so it should be clear that our refascination with the sound that inspired I'm History is more of a sleeping beast being awakened after years of neglect.
Michael's voice peaks out in these songs.
It helps to make clear that Michael is a very soft-spoken individual and it came as a big surprise to anyone that knew him that he was about to be screaming in a band, let alone singing in one. He told me singing has been the most liberating experience for him. He said he feels like he can accomplish anything now, and I've noted the marked difference in his personality.
Did you read the grunge book yet?
I haven't read Everybody Loves Our Town yet, but the last book I read that was similar was Please Kill Me, the oral history of punk. I was reading it while we were engaged in a southeast tour of the U.S. with Paragraph back in 2009. On one of our off nights we found a venue that we hadn't been scheduled to play at that was totally packed out. We approached it with our gear saying we were booked to play that night and that we'd been running late. It was probably too punk a move for Paragraph and didn't quite work out... but even then, the roots of Hunny had taken hold.
Hunny plays Friday, December 9, at Full Cup with the Jay Vons, Jewel Heist, and Big Muff.

The study, "U.S. Views of Technology and the Future," looks at how Americans think about science and tech in the next five decades. While there is much optimism, there are also widespread concerns about some technological developments.
There are certainly high expectations for what tech can deliver. Eighty-one percent say that new transplant organs will be grown to spec in a lab. Fifty-one percent say that computers will be able to create art that is indistinguishable from human-created art -- which may also be an indirect comment on the quality of modern art.
Colonizing Other Planets
Nearly 40 percent believe technology will exist to teleport objects, a leap of faith since that technology has not currently gotten beyond sending a few subatomic particles. A third say earthlings will colonize other planets in this time frame, and 19 percent expect weather will be controllable.
But the future is not entirely seen through rose-colored enhanced reality glasses. Two-thirds believe it would be a turn for the worse if parents could change the DNA of their children to improve them in some way. Sixty-five percent don't like the idea of lifelike robots becoming the primary caregivers for elderly and people in poor health, and 63 percent don't like the idea of personal and commercial drones flying through most U.S. airspace.
And look out, Google Glass. More than half -- 53 percent -- believe it would be a change for the worse if most people were wearing devices, or had implants, that showed them information about the world they inhabit.
Driverless and Flying Cars
Would you like to ride in a driverless car? Forty-eight percent said yes, 50 percent declined. Want to get a brain implant to improve your memory or mental capacity? Slightly more than a quarter said sure, while nearly three-quarters said no thanks. Want to eat meat grown in a lab? We only need to set the table for that dish for one-fifth of us.
When asked about what inventions they would like to see, three perennial wishes were articulated: new travel options like flying cars and personal spacecraft; time travel; and health improvements to cure diseases or extend human life. Eleven percent are either completely satisfied with the present, or totally pessimistic about the future, because they said there were no futuristic inventions they want to have, or they are not interested in that subject.
Overall, men are somewhat more optimistic than women about the future, with 67 percent of men feeling that way compared with 51 percent of women. Interestingly, that optimism is similar across age groups, with 59 percent or 60 percent of those between 18 and 64 feeling optimistic, and 56 percent of those 65 or older. However, optimism does increase by annual household income, and by education.
The survey was conducted in February in cooperation with Smithsonian Magazine, and employed landlines and cellphones to reach 1,001 adults.

What hits are you guys currently doing for numbers? I need to get to 5000 soon
That is interesting about the number of hits that one might do. I have never really been interested in how much hits that I do, but instead I'm more focused on how much the hit pays vs the time it takes to do it. I usually don't do any hits less than a certain amount. My motto is make the most amount of money by doing the least amount of hits. I don't understand those .2 cent hits unless you have a bad rejection ratio and you need to increase your percentage.

A Prestonville resident questioned the legitimacy of Charles Smith's appointment to the city commission at its monthly meeting May 20.
"I don't believe he should be on the council," resident James McArter told commissioners.
McArter addressed City Attorney Alecia Gamm Hubbard when he questioned Smith's eligibility to serve. He claims Smith was not legally named to the commission and should not be allowed to vote and make decisions as a commissioner.
