Choice between loves delayed this flight ... 60 years
CHINO – The heat is a blanket.
It's 104 degrees outside and 116 degrees inside the cockpit, where an 80-year-old man is grinning and waving.
"This has been on my bucket list for years," Jack Mesna told me before clambering into the back seat of a P-51 Mustang fighter plane.
"There's no other plane like it," the old Air Force man said. "When they fly overhead, you can close your eyes and say: 'There goes a P-51.' "
Two Arizona fishing buddies have driven seven hours to watch. And Jack's daughter is snapping pictures of everything in sight.
A week earlier, Jack emailed me about his 80th birthday present to himself. It's hard to resist a good "bucket list" story, so I showed up.
But the more we talked, the more I realized this wasn't so much about flying in an old airplane.
It was really a love story, and it went far beyond anything on his bucket list.
Jack grew up in Two Harbors, Minn., the son of a railroad man. By age 17 he was a railroad man himself, a so-called gandy dancer, pounding spikes and laying rail.
Two Harbors was all of 12-by-12 blocks, so, to meet girls, he and his buddies would hitchhike 25 miles to Duluth. That's where he met Jackie Cronquist, at a small party in 1949, with Cokes and Bing Crosby records.
"She was a cute gal," he says, and his eyes still widen at the sound of her name.
Jackie had a boyfriend named Sid in the Air Force, but she agreed to roller-skate and see some movies with Jack.
"She'd write letters to him," Jack says. "I'd drop them in the mailbox at the bus stop, then we'd catch the bus to movies. Like I said, we were just good friends."
For Jack, it grew into something more. In the winter of 1950, he hitchhiked to her house 21 straight days, two hours each way. One night, he walked 14 shivering miles before catching a ride home.
Still, she wrote to Sid.
That summer, Jackie visited her sister in Baltimore. And Jack, who'd joined the Minnesota Air National Guard, spent part of his summer in Wisconsin, drilling with P-51 Mustangs. It was there that he got Jackie's letter: Sid had visited once and was returning with an engagement ring.
Jack had one thought: "Not him. This is the girl I'm going to marry."
To stall for time, he asked Jackie to wait – claiming that he was dying.
Then he asked his commanding officer for permission to fly by military transport when camp finished.
The next week, Jack boarded a military plane to Minneapolis. Then another to Indiana. And another to Harrisburg, Pa. From there, he caught a Greyhound bus to Baltimore. Then a taxi to Jackie's sister's.
It was after midnight when he knocked on the door.
"I don't want you to get engaged to Sid," he said. "I want to marry you."
She accepted. And on Christmas Day 1951, Jack and Jackie officially became engaged.
Life was good. And it became better two months later when the Air Force (Jack had been called up) lowered its requirements for pilot training to a high school diploma. Jack applied to become a P-51 Mustang pilot.
"It was the dream of my life," he says.
A total of 34 airmen were invited to Omaha, Neb., for three days of tests. Two were accepted.
"Did you pass?" Jackie asked when he got home.
"Yes," he said, "but we have to talk. I can't enter pilot training if we're married. If we postponed the wedding, you would wait for me – wouldn't you?
"Maybe I will," she replied.
"And maybe I won't."
The P-51 Mustang is a magical bird.
It was the first fighter able to escort American bombers all the way from England to Berlin and back during World War II.
Its supercharged V-12 engine allowed it to fly higher, faster and farther than those before it. And the P-51 produced a distinct "pop-pop-pop" sound from its 12 short exhaust stacks.
Just before his recent flight, Jack pulled me near those famous exhaust stacks to show me a small audio recorder.
"I'll be able to relive this trip," he said, "just by playing this back."
Moments later, he was 8,000 feet above us, soaring at 280 mph. Reliving his youth.
Jack had planned this 80th birthday flight for a decade. He paid $825 for it, drove from Costa Mesa to the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino on what had to be the hottest day of the year. He invited friends and family.
And yet ...
When he lands, he practically runs to the car.
How was it?
"Super and then some."
Was it worth the wait?
"Yeah, it takes your breath away."
What age do you feel?
Seven questions I ask, and a total of 58 words I get in reply.
With that, he's gone.
You could say this is about flying in an old plane. Or you could say it's about finding true love – and knowing what to do when you find it.
Sixty years ago, Jack faced the biggest decision of his life. What did he do?
"I wrote to the Air Force saying I'm getting married and would not be able to go away for training," he says.
He and Jackie married as planned June 14, 1952. They had four beautiful children, 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren with another on the way.
"I wasn't about to lose her," he says, "and I'm thankful I didn't."
These days, Jackie can't walk without help, so she stayed home during Jack's flight.
"It makes me feel overwhelmed and totally flattered," she says about all Jack did and still does for her, like driving her to the hairdresser every Thursday. "He always puts me on a pedestal."
Asked why she wouldn't wait for him back in 1952, she confesses she was young and impatient and didn't want him to fly in the Korean War – where he might've died.
Then she makes another confession.
"I thank God every day we're together," she says. "And I have to admit that every time he walks up that sidewalk, my heart goes pitter-patter – knowing he's home."
That's what happens when Jack returns from his bucket-list flight.
He says the heat got to him, but maybe it was the realization that the life he chose in 1952 – with Jackie – was far greater than the life he gave up as a pilot.
"She's my all-in-all," he says, and his eyes still widen at the sound of her name. "She's my reason for being. She's my everything."
That's why, after his long-awaited ride in a P-51 Mustang – after the barrel rolls, the 116-degree heat and long ride to Chino and back – Jack Mesna hurries up his walkway, into the living room and up to the chair where his bride of 60 years is waiting.
He bends. He hugs her as he has each day for more than 60 years. And he tells her about his day.

- - What halter to show my Shetland pony in?
What halter to show my Shetland pony in? I have 2 types of halters that I could show in: a plain leather stable halter and an Arab-type show halter for my Shetland pony. She's got a very Araby looking face, but her neck is short and thick. Which one should I use? |
Bumping this up, because the show is tomorrow and I'm packing. :wink: |
What kind of show are we talking here? Is it more of an open show where you will be showing against several other breeds including stock breeds or is it an actual show just for mini's? Also, which classes are you showing in? I think for the classes where you have to jump them in hand, it's pretty common for them to be in a regular halter. However, I think in the halter classes that it is pretty standard to show minis in a more arab type halter. |
Oh and it's just a plain old halter class. |
So long as you aren't going to be the only one there in a regular halter, that's the route I would go. Those mini halters look nice, but I prefer the look of a regular halter :wink:. |

Samuel Carrier
Birthday: 1992-04-28 | Position: D |
Eligible for draft: 2010 | Shoots: Right |
Drafted: 2010 | Height: 6-1 |
Acquired: 6th round (176th overall), 2010 | Weight: 186 lbs. |
Probability of Success
2007-08: Carrier played midget hockey for College-Antoine Girouard of Quebec and was selected by the Quebec Remparts in the first round (10th overall) of the 2008 QMJHL Entry Draft.
2008-09: In his QMJHL rookie season, Carrier scored 4 goals with 5 assists and was +11 with 49 PIM in 56 games for Quebec. Carrier played in just 3 of 17 playoff games for a veteran Remparts team that advanced to the conference finals against Shawinigan. He scored 1 goal and was +1. Carrier played for Team Quebec at the World U-17 Junior Challenge. He was traded to the Lewiston Maineiacs in June in a multi-player and draft pick deal. Carrier attended Canada's WJC evaluation camp.
2009-10: The move from Quebec to Lewiston meant going from the top Eastern division team to a young Maineiacs squad that would finish last in the Central but it allowed Carrier to play top pair minutes as well as getting power play time. He scored 10 goals with 32 assists and was -9 with 65 PIM in 66 games for Lewiston. Carrier scored five of his 10 goals on the power play. Despite a sub-.500 record, the Maineiacs qualified for the QMJHL playoffs but were dispatched by Drummondville in four games. Carrier scored 1 power play goal and was -5 with 14 PIM in the series.
2010-11: Carrier was a big part of Lewiston's turnaround as the MAINEiacs finished second in their division and reached the semifinals of the QMJHL playoffs. Carrier scored 11 goals and tied for the team lead with 39 assists in 61 games . His +40 plus/minus was second on the team and he had 75 PMs. Carrier scored 2 goals with 14 assists and was +5 with 12 PMs in 15 playoff games.
Talent Analysis
Although only average sized for a blueliner, Carrier doesn't back down from a challenge and plays a strong game against the boards. His positional play is spotty at times and he sometimes chases the play rather than focusing on his responsibility. Offensively, he has a heavy point shot that he can get away quickly with accuracy and he skates well, carrying the puck with confidence.
Carrier was a late-round selection and as such is a long shot to play at the NHL. The Caps are hoping that they may have found a diamond in the rough playing on a weak junior team. Carrier is by nature an offensive player from the backline and has some skills and creativity that set him apart from prospects his age - which is why he was drafted. He is still young enough to develop the complimentary elements to make him a successful attacking defenseman and potential power play specialist at the NHL level. But his game is still very rough in several areas at this stage in his career.

Spatial Effect (SE)
Spatial Effect creates a sense of spaciousness and enhances the acoustic realism by picking up the external sound using built-in microphones and outputting the sound from the rear speaker of the instrument.
Inner Beauty that Shines Through
The beauty is in the performance. Significant enhancements such as the advanced Natural Wood Keyboard technology and the new built-in three-way speaker system for rich, authentic sound reproduction make this an instrument you'll be proud to own – and even prouder to play. Experience the true elegance and sonic beauty of a wonderfully expressive musical instrument – the CLP-295GP.
iAFC (Instrumental Active Field Control)
Yamaha developed this advanced technology to bring you even more performance enjoyment. It outputs sound picked up by built-in microphones together with the Clavinova's internal sound through rear speakers, making automatic adjustments to create a richer sound that best matches the acoustic characteristics of the room you're playing in. It also uses signal processing to reproduce an authentic damper effect.
Dynamic Damper Effect (DDE)
DDE recreates the subtle resonances that occur when you press the damper pedal down on a grand piano. Instead of using the microphone, it does this by sending a discrete set of samples out the rear speakers to create a clear sense of depth.
AWM Tone Generation and New 4 Level Dynamic Stereo Piano Samples
Like previous models, these new Yamaha Clavinovas boast AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation for the ultimate in instrument realism. And to assure a warmer, more natural, even more captivating sound, the CLP-295GP also features new 4 Level Dynamic Stereo piano samples. Taken at different levels from loud to soft, these new samples provide subtle differences in volume and timbre depending on how you play the keys
resulting in the ultimate in responsiveness. In addition, the CLP-295GP offers Stereo Sustain and Key-Off samples. Stereo Sustain samples recreate the resonances of the strings and soundboard when the damper pedal is pressed that contribute to the unique sound of a grand piano. Key-Off samples provide the delicate sound keys make when they are released for another touch of realism.
To take you even closer to authentic grand piano performance pleasure, the CLP-295GP comes with String Resonance samples to provide the complex resonances that make an acoustic grand piano sound so rich and full.
Newly Designed Built-in Speaker Systems
The true sound of the Clavinova is only as good as the sound that reaches your ears. That's why we've invested an extra amount of time and effort into enhancing the speaker systems of these instruments. The CLP-295GP features a new three-way system for a richer, better-defined midrange – so important in the reproduction of the acoustic grand piano.
Selection of Voices
Besides new piano samples, you get a choice of other stereo-sampled musical instrument sounds to perform with. And thanks to enlarged memory, these sounds are better than ever, providing added realism for more music playing enjoyment.
USB Connectivity
Stay connected! The CLP-295GP features both USB TO HOST and USB TO DEVICE terminals, conveniently located on the front panel for easy access. This means that you can connect to a computer (TO HOST), and take advantage of the vast possibilities in computer music, and hook up to your favorite USB storage device (TO DEVICE) for storing your valuable song data – all at the same time.
Handy Music Rest
All the new Clavinovas come with a folding music rest and a headphone hanger. For extra convenience, some Clavinovas also feature music clips for securing music books and scores (Music Clips available on CLP-295GP/265GP/280/270/240).

Audio & Video
The first Clavinova was created in 1983 to allow people to more conveniently enjoy the pleasure of playing a piano. From the first stages of development, Yamaha exercised its ingenuity to reproduce the sound and touch of a grand piano by developing a proprietary FM (Frequency Modulation) Sound Source, new keyboard mechanisms and other innovations. The YP-40 featured not only piano sound, but also the tone colors of 16 instruments including harpsichord, clavichord and guitar. It also provided the Stereo Symphonic Effect, allowing it to offer the power and feeling of depth of a performance in a concert hall or music club.
The CVP-7 was equipped with the piano Auto Bass Chord (ABC) function, the archetype of the highly regarded automatic accompaniment functions of today's CVP Series. At the time, it was a revolutionary function that allowed a player to add an accompaniment simply by holding down chords with the left hand. It also had a ROM Music function that let players call up songs that they liked and play them like an orchestra or ensemble, expanding the fun of playing music. The Guide function, which uses guide lamps to indicate the next key to be struck, also made its debut in this model.
This model marked the first use of the Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) sampling method, which used data obtained by digitally recording the sound of actual musical instruments and processing them with proprietary technologies. This new sound source technology permitted the faithful reproduction of rich textures and beautiful lingering tones, beginning with the delicate sound startup at the moment the key of a grand piano is struck until the sound naturally attenuates.
Its sound source was the AWM Stereo Sampling method based on stereo recording. Creating sound based on data recorded from the left and from the right, it achieved the wide, deep, elegant and realistic tones of a grand piano. The CLP-760 brought further improvements to the AE (Action Effect) keyboard that had first appeared in 1986, which applied the principle of the hammer action of an acoustic piano. As a result, its touch was even closer to that of a grand piano.
The CVP-79A offered 192 different voices (including GM sounds), exceeding the basic assumptions regarding the capabilities of digital pianos. It also came with 100 accompaniment Styles, greatly expanding its breadth of performance expressiveness, and provided an even easier to use Guide function, an LCD display that helped players to make skillful use of its many functions, and an on-board Help function. Great care was taken not only with its functionality, but with its ease of operation.
The feel of grand piano keys when they are struck differs slightly between the bass keys and the treble keys. By introducing the GH (Graded Hammer) keyboard, the CLP-811 was able to reproduce this subtle difference. It also featured AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling, which employs multi-sampling of the grand piano sound as it changes according to the force with which the keys are struck. This technology is also used by current Clavinova models. With enhanced sound and touch, the expressive force of the Clavinova advanced to a new level.
The CVP-98 was equipped with a large 320 by 240 dot LCD able to display voice, accompaniment Style and song names in a single convenient location. Since all of the important functions could be seen at a glance, the ease with which the instrument could be operated was significantly improved. It was also compatible with the XG format, a sound source standard advocated by Yamaha, and offered a richer choice of sounds, wider interchangeability and future expandability. It made truly dynamic play of music data possible.
As the first model in the CLP Series with a mini-grand piano cabinet, the CLP-555 gave Clavinova fans the authentic sound and touch of a grand piano, as well as a beautifully elegant shape. It also featured a craftsman-built cabinet with deluxe black lacquer finish. Along with the features and convenience of a digital piano, it brought the sound and elegance of the concert hall into owners' homes.
The CVP-600 built upon the success of the CLP-555 by also using a mini-grand piano cabinet. It gave players the genuine sound, touch and look of a grand piano, with a vast array of features that only a digital piano can offer. Proud owners appreciated the gleaming beauty of a traditional grand combined with the versatility of a leading-edge digital piano.
By combining sound sources such as Key-Off Sampling and String Resonance, which record changes in grand piano sound with the movement of the keys, the CVP-209 achieved the delicate change of sounds and sympathetic string resonances at the moment when a finger leaves the key. It also featured 870 sounds, including Premium Voices, which realistically reproduce the sounds of a variety of instruments. In addition, it was the first Clavinova to have a large color LCD with color icons and letters to clearly show notes, song names and accompaniment Styles.
The CLP-170 introduced the GH3 (Graded Hammer 3) keyboard, which was based on the GH keyboard but had three sensors, including Yamaha's proprietary Damper Sensor. This enabled the player to use advanced grand piano techniques such as playing the same note repeatedly with perfect articulation. It was the first Clavinova with iAFC (instrumental Active Field Control), an advanced acoustic technology for reproducing sounds with breadth and depth, just like a stage performance, as well as the sympathetic string resonances that occur when the damper pedal is pressed.
The CVP-309 opened up new ways to enjoy an electronic piano by introducing Internet Direct Connection, for connecting the Clavinova directly to the Internet. This feature lets you select the piece you want to play from among the more than 4,000 pieces that are available, download the registration (sound, style, and effect settings) best suited to the piece, then listen to a sample performance or show the melody, chords or lyrics on the Clavinova display to enjoy playing or listening to the piece. This was also the first model to use the solid wood NW (Natural Wood) keyboard.
As the first Clavinova with a slim body, the CLP-F01 marked a new page in the history of the digital piano. It was not only a pleasure to play and look at, it was also easier to position in a room. With this emphasis on design, it was popular not only with individuals, but found widespread use in public facilities such as hotel lobbies.
In a cabinet finished so it appears to be a grand piano, you have all the diverse functions of the CVP Series. When you close the key cover, it encloses not only the keyboard, but the operating panel as well, providing the appearance of an acoustic piano. It also offers an actual piano soundboard along with state-of-the-art vibro-acoustic technology. Adding Yamaha's highly effective iAFC technology, which delivers sound with the depth of a grand piano, the CGP-1000 achieves extremely realistic and richly resonant sound.
One of Yamaha's finest CFIIIS full concert grand pianos was selected and tuned to the optimum condition. Pure CF Sampling uses all the sounds sampled from this single piano for the piano sound. The CLP-380 therefore produces sound with playing response highly faithful to the sound source. In addition, it is the first model in the CLP Series equipped with Internet Direct Connection, which lets you directly access a special website to select from a huge musical library. The CLP-380 was designed to combine the finest sound, touch and functions developed during the 25 years since the birth of the Clavinova.

Will the CDC's new anti-smoking ads really help smokers quit?
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has once again released a batch of graphic anti-smoking ads, aimed at motivating smokers to quit by showing the horrible health effects of the nasty habit. But, in my opinion, the campaign emphasizes an over-simplified message: that to quit, all smokers need is a little fear.
For the next 12 weeks, the grisly ads will run as public service announcements on TV and in movie theaters, magazines, and newspapers; all contain real people with smoking-related health problems such as throat cancer that destroyed the larynx, diabetes that led to a leg amputation, and a life-threatening asthma attack in a teen who was exposed to second-hand smoke.
There's "very strong scientific evidence" that such public awareness tactics have led to an increase in the number of smokers who successfully quit, said CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden in a press briefing on Thursday.
"Last year's [first] campaign exceeded our expectations," Frieden said. "We saw an increase of more than 200,000 of people who called quit lines." Research suggests that about 20 percent of people who call a quit line will quit for good.
I don't doubt the evidence, but I wonder if the ads are a bit over the top, bordering on patronizing. For example, Bill, a 40-year-old with diabetes featured in the ad below, blames smoking for his heart surgery, blindness in one eye, amputation, and kidney failure. (The nicotine in cigarettes makes it much tougher for diabetics to control their blood sugar level and significantly raises the risk of diabetes-related complications.)
Bill provides this tip for helping smokers quit: "Make a list. Put the people you love at the top. Put down your eyes, your legs, your kidneys, and your heart. Now cross off all the things you're OK with losing because you'd rather smoke."
Bill makes smoking seem like a simple lifestyle choice rather than an addiction on par with alcoholism or a cocaine habit. For some, quitting requires herculean efforts far beyond a basic fear of what will happen to them if they don't.
In fact, some people appear to have a genetic susceptibility to becoming heavy smokers. A study published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry indicates that certain genetic mutations help predict which teens will be more likely to convert to daily smokers after experimenting with cigarettes and then become heavy smokers as adults. Those teens with the high-risk mutations—who were followed for four decades—were more likely to use smoking to cope with stress and fail in their attempts to quit.
Frieden conceded that it often takes many people several tries to quit. Just ask President Obama. He said in interviews last fall that he finally kicked the habit because his daughters had reached the age when they might feel peer pressure to smoke, and that he didn't want to look them in the eye and tell them not to smoke if he still was.
Calling a smoking cessation quit line such as 1-800-QUIT-NOW, using nicotine patches or gum to help withdraw gradually from the chemical dependence, or quitting with a friend can all be useful tactics to increase the chances of success.
Certain prescription drugs such as varenicline (Chantix) or bupropion hydrochloride (Zyban) can help those who have failed with other quitting aids, but they're not without their own risks. Chantix carries a black box warning that it may increase the risk of psychiatric side effects such as suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, and it may be associated with increased heart risks. Zyban, an antidepressant, can also increase the likelihood of suicidal thoughts, especially in teens and young adults. It carries a small risk of seizures in those with certain medical conditions or people using certain drugs such as the MAO inhibitor class of antidepressants.
Clearly, some smokers need a professional's help to guide them through these various options or to design a personalized cessation plan.
Unfortunately, doctors aren't providing enough of this guidance. About 80 percent of specialists who treat lung cancer in smokers reported in a survey that they advised their patients to quit smoking because they knew it would improve their treatment and prognosis. But only 40 percent of them provided assistance such as prescriptions for cessation medications or other cessation tools, according to a recent survey of 1,500 surgeons, oncologists, and other lung cancer specialists that was published last week in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.
Most of these doctors said they don't have the ability to help their patients quit, either because patients don't want to or the physicians aren't adequately trained to help them.
"As clinicians and researchers, we must work to improve access to tobacco cessation resources and improve effective methods of tobacco cessation for cancer patients," said study leader Dr. Graham Warren, a radiation oncologist at the Medical University of South Carolina.
These smokers are already scared of cigarettes as a result of their life-threatening illness, and they certainly don't need more scares from the CDC's graphic ads to be motivated to quit.

Hi Patsy. I just tried the instructions from this tutorial: Color Picking to Make Your Digital Scrapbook Layout From Anywhere! and they seem to work fine for me in PSE 11. Are you clicking on your document, holding the left mouse button down while dragging to your sample color before letting the mouse go?
Posted 28 February 2013 - 11:20 PM
Yes I thought I was. I will go try again....
Posted 28 February 2013 - 11:26 PM
Thanks Theresa. It worked! I must not have been holding the dropper down on the doc before going outside of PSE to grab the color.

Set List
Show Notes
This show took place in a historic Beaux Arts style movie/vaudeville house opened in 1928 with a capacity of 2,978. The Paramount had a convertible floor system to change the theatre to a ballroom, but it is believed Phish played in its theatre format. Baby Gramps opened. The AC/DC Bag opener included an unusual outro jam that led into Daniel Saw The Stone. Before Ginseng Sullivan, Trey used the megaphone to get people's attention and then, without a mic, explained that the band was going to do a couple songs "without any sound system or anything at all." Ginseng Sullivan and Nellie Cane were subsequently performed without amplification with Trey on acoustic guitar, Mike on upright bass, Page on vocals and Fish on Madonna washboard. Amazing Grace was also performed without microphones. The second round of solos in Paul And Silas were sung in vocal jam style (with Fish still playing drums) rather than played. Trey began My Friend My Friend on acoustic guitar. Baby Gramps sat in with Phish for the You Enjoy Myself vocal jam and the 1st performance of his song Mice And Bats (on which Fish played vacuum).

5 Signs It's Time to Dump Him
If your man falls into too many of these categories, then it's probably time to say good riddance!
-Carolyn French
We've all been in relationships that weren't exactly up to snuff. And while guys most certainly will be guys, where should we draw the line? At what point does it become time to throw in the towel?
These are 5 signs it just might be time to give him the boot:
1. He's Way Too Immature
Immaturity is just about the unsexiest quality a man can possess. Ya know, things like being rude to your parents and blowing money on video games when he can't even pay his bills, not to mention take you out to dinner. There's nothing worse than when his inner frat boy comes out at parties (beer pong much?), and don't even get us started on inappropriate jokes that stop conversations dead in their tracks.
There's only one thing worse than his lame-ass behavior, and that's the inability to apologize for said behavior because he is too immature to see that what he's doing is wrong. Relationship expert Cami Zimmer explains, "When a man can't say 'sorry,' it is a sign he's not ready to give ground. If he's not willing to show a little weakness early in the relationship, chances are it'll only grow worse as the relationship grows."
Idiotic behavior + no apology = BAD NEWS.
Face it girls: if words like commitment, 401(K) and property taxes are not in his vocabulary, there's not much chance someone like this could even conceive of working towards a future. Next!
Read 7 Guys You Should Never Date
2. He's Way Too Selfish
The biggest faux pas of this type is never putting your needs first (in and out of the bedroom). He doesn't care if you hate racquetball; he'll drag you along, anyway. Instead of taking care of you while you're sick, he simply says, "Call me in a week." He doesn't let you know if he's going to be late, and forget about him ever calling to see if you need him to pick something up at the store before cruising by. Eww. A relationship should be about give and take, and we don't mean you doing all the giving and not getting much back in return.
"This can leave you feeling alone and not cared for in the relationship," says mental health counselor and relationship expert Janie Lacy. "He will not consider the impact of his selfish behavior on you and the relationship. He will actually try to turn it around and point out your faults to avoid dealing with his selfish behavior."
What's the point of having all the drawbacks of being tied down without having any of the benefits? He doesn't need to be your slave, but not being half of a "we" should be a deal breaker.

Associated acts | James Blake, King Krule |
Website | www |
Members | Kai Campos Dom Maker |
Mount Kimbie is an English electronic music duo consisting of Dominic Maker and Kai Campos. They formed the group in London in 2008 and released their debut album Crooks & Lovers in 2010 to critical acclaim.
The band released their second album, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, in 2013 through Warp Records.[1]
Kai Campos is originally from St. Austell in Cornwall, while Dom Maker is from Brighton. They met at Southbank University in London, where Campos was having another go at university and Maker was studying film.[2] They started making music together at a home studio in Peckham.
Arguably responsible for the term "post-dubstep",[3] the duo has released a series of EPs and their highly praised debut album Crooks & Lovers. The Guardian described the pair as "leading an exploratory breakaway from bass-heavy dubstep towards a lighter, hazier style of electronica rich with drowsy ambience and chopped-up found sounds."[4]
The band's debut album, entitled Crooks and Lovers, was released on 19 June 2010 in the UK to critical acclaim, and achieved a 7.9 ADM Rating on review aggregator website AnyDecentMusic?.[5]
At the end of 2010, Crooks & Lovers was included in over thirty 'Best of 2010' lists, including NME, Mixmag, DJ Magazine, Resident Advisor, Pitchfork Media, Drowned In Sound, Boomkat, FACT,[citation needed] Rough Trade and Phonica Records. NME listed them at number 22 in their 30 Artists For 2011.[6]
The pair are closely linked to friend, producer and BBC Sound of 2011 runner-up, James Blake. He has collaborated with them live[7] and lent his skills to the remixing of "Maybes" which features on the Mount Kimbie EP Remixes Part 1, released 12 April 2010,[8] as well as contributing elements to Crooks & Lovers.[7] They've also featured on his BBC Radio 1 residency.[9]
Mount Kimbie have produced remixes for The Big Pink, Foals, The xx and Andreya Triana.[10]
Mount Kimbie signed to Warp Records in June 2012.
In September 2015, it was announced Mount Kimbie would host a weekly residency every Tuesday, throughout September, with London based online radio station NTS Radio. The shows would include guests such as James Blake, William Basinski and King Krule.[11]
The band's Maybes EP was released on 2 February 2009 through Hotflush Recordings as 12" vinyl and digital download. The EP was described by Pitchfork Media as having "character, humor, light chaos, nice sound design, and real melodic imperative".[12] Resident Advisor reckoned "That the duo have managed something this accomplished for their debut indicates the probable arrival of a major talent"[13] while XLR8R described the work as "deceptively complex, with a sense of floating formlessness akin to the gentler side of '90s-era British IDM".[14]
A1. Maybes A2. William B1. Vertical B2. Taps
Sketch on Glass[edit]
The band's second EP, Sketch on Glass was released on 31 July 2009 on Hotflush Recordings receiving rave reviews on Resident Advisor,[15] with FACT stating that the duo have "essentially proved that they can take on most of dubstep's more interesting strains and fit them to their own vision; in many cases bettering their more experienced peers."[16]

Pitchfork Media called it a "beautiful, small and clever album",[17] Vice Magazine awarded it 10/10, describing the record as one which "stands out as something genuinely special", and NME placed it at number fifty-six in their top Seventy Albums of 2010.[18] It was Rough Trade's Album of the Week, Drowned In Sound described the record as "yet another indefinable beast, one that seems to take real joy in refusing to bow to expectations, and avoids conventional song structures in favour of hazy, dreamlike composition"[7] and "certainly a contender for album of the year"[19]
The duo used a mixture of field recordings, samples and live instrumentation to create the album, about which Campos stated "we don't record for a certain purpose, or with a motive, it's more to see what comes out of it... it's never the noises you think are going to work that do, which keeps it interesting."[20] and Maker said that "getting the record done was like reaching the pinnacle of the sound we were trying to achieve when we started out making music together"[20] and said of the writing of the record, "It's been a very gradual process, and we've been playing live a lot over the past few months, so it's been all about taking ideas and working on them between shows… Constructing the live set was really helpful in terms of actually finishing off ideas. We slowly realised that if something sounds good at the time, don't sit there and overproduce it for weeks and weeks – there's no need. Doing it live really helps with that."[7]
By the end of 2010, Crooks & Lovers had been included in over 30 Best of 2010 lists.[citation needed] BBC Music said "Crooks & Lovers is an album of abrupt changes and paradoxes, at once organic and heavily processed, drowsy and yet with moments of eyes-on-stalks urgency, acoustically sweet and electrically charged. It's akin to gently drifting in and out of consciousness on a bus trip, only to be sporadically jolted back into consciousness."[21]
The album was among the 12 shortlisted for Drowned In Sound's Neptune Music Prize in 2010,[22] and was also nominated for The Guardian 's 'First Album Award' in the same year.[23]
The first single from Crooks & Lovers was "Mayor / Would Know". It was released on 12" vinyl and digital. The video for "Would Know" was directed by Tyrone Lebon.[24]

Blind Night Errand EP[edit]
Blind Night Errand was released on 29 November 2010 on 12" vinyl and digital download. The EP included the song "Before I Move Off" of which there is a video by Tyrone Lebon which debuted on Pitchfork Media - the video is a montage of 8000 photographs. The EP also includes an alternate version of "William" remixed by Mount Kimbie themselves, alongside a live recording of "Maybes" taken from a set at the Berghain club in Berlin.[25]
Track listing:
- "Blind Night Errand"
- "Before I Move Off"
- "William (Dayglo Mix)"
- "Maybes (Live at Berghain, Berlin)"
The Carbonated EP is the last release derived from material from the Crooks & Lovers album, and includes remixes of the title track by Airhead and Peter Van Hoesen. B-sides include "Baves Chords", produced at the same time as the Maybes EP, and "Flux", written for the Carbonated EP. The video was again directed by Tyrone Lebon.[26] A session version of the title track "Carbonated", recorded at SXSW in 2011 features on the 'Best of Daytrotter 2011' list.[27]
Cold Spring Fault Less Youth[edit]
On 25 March 2013, Pitchfork announced the release of Mount Kimbie's second album, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth. The album was released on 28 May 2013 with Warp Records and features two collaborations with King Krule.[28]
The announcement of the second album was welcomed by most major music press including: Clash Magazine, This is Fake DIY, FACT Magazine, Dummy and Mixmag. On 26 March 2013 Pitchfork made "Made to Stray" best new track.[29] The track was first aired on London DJ Ben UFO's weekly Rinse FM show on 7 March 2013.[30] The track was also featured in an advert for Intel and FC Barcelona, along with "Break Well", another track from the album.[31]
Campos says in an interview with Pitchfork Media "With Mount Kimbie, we started off trying to imitate other stuff-- and we failed. But in failing to do that, we stumbled across a sound that's inherently our own. Failing to imitate others only happens because of the mindset that you come from. It's part of finding your own voice. When musicians go through that, the results are, by definition, original. Most of the music that sounds like it's been influenced by [Crooks & Lovers] that has come out since sounds fairly dull, and it's not something we want to carry on doing. We want to get away from it.".[32]
Maker says in an interview with FACT "The new stuff is a lot more free than the songs we've done before, in terms of composition. It's still entirely produced on a computer, but the drums and percussion are much more live in their feel, in rhythm and in flow. In terms of the actual sound…it's quite a bit bigger sounding that what we've done before. I think it's still quite delicate material, but it has a bigger sound compared to the last album, and I think that must be informed really greatly by what we've spent the last two years doing – playing live." [33]
As part of album release, Mount Kimbie hosted their "Mount Kimbie & friends" Boiler Room on 21 May. Guest DJs included James Blake, Gilles Peterson, Micachu, George Fitzgerald, Midland, Jon Rust, Reecha, and Demus.
Artwork for the album is by Leif Podhajsky,[34] and the official video for "Made To Stray" was also directed by him. A video for "You Took Your Time" was produced by Marcus Söderlund and released in July 2013.[35]
Dummy Magazine included "Cold Spring Fault Less Youth" in their "Best Of 2013" list [36]

On 28 October 2013 Warp released the Mount Kimbie CSFLY Remixes EP, showcasing remixes off the Cold Spring Fault Less Youth album. Detroit techno wonderkid Kyle Hall, cosmic house artist DJ Koze, left field electronic experimentalist Lee Gamble & the South London "DJ's DJ" DJ Oneman ft. Jeremiah Jae all feature.
Track listing
- Mount Kimbie – You Took Your Time (Kyle Hall remix)

- Mount Kimbie – You Took Your Time (Lee Gamble remix)
- Mount Kimbie – You Took Your Time (Oneman Remix feat. Jeremiah Jae) [digital exclusive]
Mount Kimbie were described by Inhabit Online Magazine as pioneers of a truly unique sound.[37] Pitchfork Media described the duo's music as "pretty, mostly mid-tempo tracks between three and four minutes long with sped-up vocal samples, little tunnels of ambience, unimposing synth patches, and syncopated percussion that sounds like someone putting away the silverware."[12]
The duo use field recordings to form major elements of their music. "It's amazing what you can pick up with a field microphone. I mean, you might just hear someone riding around but when you slow it down it's almost like there's a beat to it. And then just taking little pockets of that rhythm and stretching it out. A lot of what we do is about experimenting with different little bits of tone that you don't necessarily hear on the first listen... and then trying to make songs out of them."[38]
Mount Kimbie play many instruments live including guitars, bass, keyboards, Native Instruments Maschine, delay pedals, samplers, Korg Kaosspad, drum pads, snare, ride cymbal, and vocals. James Blake was once a touring member of the band.
In 2010, Mount Kimbie toured the UK, Europe and America. They were also involved in the festival circuit playing at The Great Escape Festival, Stag & Dagger festival, Glade Festival, Field Day Festival and Bestival amongst others. The duo were then invited to perform at Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards event in February 2011.[39]
In March and April 2011, they embarked on a US tour which included performances at SXSW and Coachella. They also toured in Australia in March, selling out all six of their performances,[40] with Australia's The Vine saying of their Melbourne performance, "They flesh out skeletal elements of tracks with alternative instrumentation, or accentuate features with subtle additions or substitutions. In this way much of the material aired tonight is invigoratingly bolstered, altered or augmented in some way. It makes for a stimulating performance."[41] However, regarding a live realisation of Crooks & Lovers in Glasgow in early 2011 The Guardian said that "presenting such short tunes as standalone pieces when they might function better threaded together gives the set a disjointed feel."[4]
Tony Kus has been the band's live drummer since joining them in October 2012.[42]
The group toured North America with Squarepusher in October and November 2012.
The Astral Plane interviewed Mount Kimbie in November 2012 where they discussed the technical aspects of their live and studio set ups.[43]
Mount Kimbie performed a full tour across the US and Europe in late 2013 to tie in with the launch of their album, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth.[44]
In July 2016, Mount Kimbie announced they would be taking a break from recording and be heading out on the road. Playing a small number of European shows including Pitchfork Music Festival.[45]
Live sessions[edit]
In April 2011, Mount Kimble performed three pieces, "Maybes", "Ode To Bear" and "Field" on NPR's All Songs Considered Tiny Desk Concert[46]
On 31 August 2013, Mount Kimbie performed "You Took Your Time" live with King Krule on Gilles Peterson's BBC Radio 6 show.[47]
Mount Kimbie recorded "Blood & Form", "Made to Stray" and"Carbonated" for Benji B from the legendary Maida Vale studios. The session was aired on BBC Radio 1 on 11 April 2013.[48]
Broadcast on 15 February 2014, their BBC Radio 1 session for Rob Da Bank featured live performances of the tracks "So many Times, So many Ways", "Breakwell" and "Blood & Form", also recorded at Maida Vale.[49]
The duo once again returned to Maida Vale as part of BBC Radio 1's Residency.[50] In addition to the tracks "So Many Times, So Many Way" and "Fall Out", Mount Kimbie performed a remix version of "You Took Your Time" that featured the Californian rapper and producer Jonwayne. The performance was filmed and made available on BBC Radio 1's YouTube channel on 5 June 2014.[51]

If it was not 11pm and I had some sunlight I'm confident this picture would look a lot less crappy. |
When you let guys do the food styling? Also you should make bagels while drinking Woodchuck cider. It helps. |
John presents: BAGELS. |
(From Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything but copy/pasted from here because I didn't have the book in front of me and couldn't remember... so I Googled... Adapted slightly to reflect how we made these bagels)
When you make too many bagels, you run out of places to put them. |
- 3 and 1/2 cups bread or all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Mix-ins of your choosing (see notes below)
- olive oil, for greasing the pan
*Fruit Bagels: I used dried blueberries for one type of fruit bagel, and dried cherries and coconut for the other type of fruit bagel. The cherry/coconut combo was inspired by a post at Wilde in the Kitchen. For both I used about a handful of dried fruit. For the coconut I put it in the food processor with the dry ingredients, and sprinkled extra on top. I used dried fruit because it hydrates itself during the baking process. Using canned or fresh fruit might have too much moisture and mess up the consistency of the bagel. This is just a guess though, so try it if you must (and let me know how it goes!)
*Savory Bagels: For savory bagels I roasted garlic and onions and added fresh basil. These went into the dough during the food processing stage. I wanted to also add sundried tomatoes, but the ones I had were expired. Oh well.
-Put the flour in a food processor. Add the salt, yeast and sweetener and process for 5 seconds. With the machine running, pour 1 and 1/4 cups water into the mixture. Process for about 30 seconds, then remove the cover. The dough should be pulling away from the edges, slightly sticky and easy to handle. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and knead for a minute or two longer by hand, adding as much flour as necessary to make a smooth, elastic dough. Add the fruit at this point too, kneading in until your desired fruit amount is reached.
-Place the dough into a large bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let rise for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or until doubled in size.
-Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and heat the oven. Drop the bagels two at a time into the boiling water. The bagels will sink, then rise to the surface. Boil for 1 minute on each side, then remove them with a slotted spoon and put on a lightly greased rack to drain.
They are best straight out of the oven, but not everyone has time to do this each morning. They're still pretty dang good a few days later though, promise.
John-approved food styling. |

The Department of Conflict Analysis and Dispute Resolution (CADR) is a unique "program of distinction" that awards a Bachelors of Arts and a Master of Arts in CADR. The department, in conjunction with the Center for Conflict Resolution, Inc. offers students a multidisciplinary, practical and applied approach to teaching and training. The CADR program balances core concepts in conflict models, theory and research, linking these to practical applications in the field of conflict analysis and dispute intervention.
Through the Center for Conflict Resolution, which is the practice, research and training wing of the program, CADR excels in providing students with unique mentored extracurricular activities, programs and projects. The academic and clinical faculty work closely with students, ensuring that each students gains valuable hands-on experience in the field, specifically tailored to their individual career goals.
The Center, through its commitment to student learning, has sent students around the world to study and conduct conflict-analysis and intervention research. The Center and CADR adopt a 'teaching hospital' model consisting of three wings: teaching, research and practice. Students are fully engaged in all three activities, via supervised mentoring by either CADR faculty and/or Center staff.
The synergistic impact of the teaching hospital model has led graduates of this program to undertake impressive post graduate careers in the field and to be accepted into leading graduate programs.
CADR majors are equipped for careers in a wide variety of fields including, but not limited to: mediation in a variety of settings (i.e. education, private-sector, health-care, and within the legal system); organizational management; human-resource management; law enforcement and work with courts; both domestic and international NGOs; non-profit organizations; and governmental agencies.
Students have also found that CADR makes an excellent double major or minor to supplement their skills in other disciplines. We have found that CADR compliments the following areas of study as a double major: Communication Arts, Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Environmental Health, Environmental Issues, History, Information Systems, International Studies, Management, Nursing, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Social Work, and Sociology.
Ultimately, CADR students develop strong analytical and practical skills to better understand and respond to conflict dynamics at all levels of human interaction. Developing skills to better deal with conflict and to understand the dynamics involved will be useful no matter what profession you find yourself in.
Since 2001 the Center for Conflict Resolution has hosted the "One Person Can Make a Difference" lecture series. It provides the campus and Salisbury community with a unique opportunity to spend an evening with individuals who have walked off the pages of world history. Each person in the lecture series provides a first person account of some of the most inspiring stories of our age, focuses our attention on the power of creative problem solving, non-violent action and power of the spoken word.
Dr. Christopher Mitchell delivered the first lecture titled "Mediation in the 21st Century" on April 19th"2016. Click for Speech Summary

Greetings, Kylyssa! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus lately. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

As for that background, I may have a couple pictures but I'll have to find them. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have photographed the entire process. I'll be starting another background in a couple months and this time, the process will be documented.
sameee could you pm ur diy pictures to me aswell

I suspect it's much more likely to be trillions (not billions) of Euros worth of Republic of Ireland oil and gas resources we're talking about, and such views are supported by reports like that at http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewiStockNews/art...97336 for example, which is titled:

We are paying over a 100 thousand euro to the gardai who protect Shell, this is wrong for a start. One of the biggests companies in the world and they do not need to employ thier own bouncers, why should they, our own gardai are doing a great job for them. The only country in the world where protesters have been peaceful, the gardai should be grateful for that alone, so why are they using the rough tactics again the people, they should stand aside and let the people protest....unless there is some hidden agenda between government, judges and Shell. That I could well believe. Good luck to the people involved and imprisoned, and hopefully many more will get involved with you. You are doing this for all the citizens in this country, keep up the good work. Our legal / justice systems stinks.

Press releases have being going out on these cases from last week and I know complaints have gone into RTE about their lack of coverage

I suppose to be more accurate it is the control and regulation of information, who gets told, when, and about what, that is the lynch-pin in the apparatus of control and containment.

Is any of this getting onto the mainstream where most of the population get their information dropped into their heads enmasse ?

Are there any brave men and women in the Garda who will stand against other Garda and Shell heavy handed tactics and worse? Any Bradley Mannings? Any whistle-blowers?

Youre all very brave individuals who fight for your rights! Never give up! From little things big things grow! You can win this! I have a beautiful friend, he is an ex-riot squat here in Australia, he shares many horrendous stories about what is going on in the force and how police are trained to simply take orders and no question asked. I am proud to say that now; he fights with us, against Shell, Woodside, BHP, BP and Chevron here in Broome Western Australia! People who still believe, without questioning anything big companies or authorities say, are lost souls! Why do people without question believe any report from Shell and the like or Police???? Why??? Because they said so???? Wake up!! Big companies are there for the money and money lies....and police sadly are robots...and the really bad ones even enjoy it! Asking question is scary, but it is the only way. Keep going!

text: NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Analysts at Morgan Stanley on Friday downgraded online couponing firm Groupon Inc. GRPN, +0.25% to equal weight from overweight. "Groupon missed 3Q revenue and guided to lower fourth-quarter consolidated segment operating income. While we are proponents of the company's long-term position within the local eCommerce landscape, the path to executing on this vision will take longer than expected. We are downgrading due to slower growth and lower margins," the analysts said. Groupon shares fell 24% in preopen trading.
