Score one for Laguna Woods Village pickleball evangelist
When Mary Rayner and her late husband, Dale, arrived in Laguna Woods Village as "sunbirds" — escaping Palm Springs' summer swelter — they brought with them their love for pickleball.
That was 2011, when the only paddle sports available in the Village were table tennis and paddle tennis. Having traveled around the country in their RV, the Rayners knew how popular pickleball was becoming. They were able to get Recreation to purchase temporary nets and to paint a non-volley zone line on the existing four paddle tennis courts at Gate 12 so they could be used for both sports.
In January 2012, the Pickleball Club was formed with 35 members.
"Pickleball was our love and we decided to put our extra time in that, not only for ourselves for exercise but for other people," said Mary Rayner.
She and her husband started playing the game in 1975 using makeshift wooden paddles and portable nets and playing in driveways, on sports courts or on blacktopped roads wherever they went. As they traveled, they enjoyed teaching others the game.
"When you're helping other people and teaching them, you get more out of it yourself. You always do if you encourage people," Rayner said, adding that she's "never played a game that's as much fun."
The sport caught on quickly in the Village as residents heard about the game. Today, the Pickleball Club numbers 285 members, making it one of the largest clubs in the Village. According to the U.S. Pickleball Association, there are now about 2.8 million players in the U.S. alone.
How does Rayner explain the sport's popularity? "It can be played by all ages," said Rayner, a golfer and former tennis player who will turn 90 this month. "And even as you grow older, there are people my age that still play it. This is what makes it so attractive. You can teach kids 8, 9, 10, 11 to play and they love it. They play with their grandmas and they think that's great."
Rayner, who moved to Tigard, Oregon, in 2016, had the honor of serving the first ball on the new pickleball courts during the dedication ceremony, on March 13.
"I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity of being part of this," she said. "I just feel that I'm a little part."

4 Absolutely Need-To-Know CV Tips
CV tips for success
Perhaps you have recently started writing a CV? Then you need probably already realised it is a serious challenge. It's extremely hard to work out what employers are searching for, or determine what information to feature. Fortunately I've uncovered several CV tips will make writing a CV easier. With such you could make an interview-winning CV within hours. Simply keep reading then and apply them when you're writing a CV!
The 1st of my 4 CV tips is: decide beforehand the job you're obtaining. This is because employers aren't enthusiastic about a work history from applicants unrelated towards the role they're advertising. They prefer CVs which might be directly relevant to the job they're filling, and which demonstrate expertise. Hence while you are writing a CV make sure it's targeted being a laser beam with a specific role!
The other of my 4 CV tips is: keep it brief. Employers aren't considering endless context regarding your work background and experience. Instead they're searching for substance if you are writing a CV: evidence that you are the top candidate for the position. Additionally they've probably got lots of applications for your position. They do not have the time to see every 1 carefully. So when you are submitting a CV keep in mind that the employer's rushing!
The 3rd of my 4 CV tips is: look at the presentation if you are writing a CV. Suppose you had been offered a document that utilizes an unreadable font and eight colours? Do you feel that was professional? Instead keep in mind that you're looking to thrill employers with your expertise if you are writing the CV. You're trying to convince them to offer you a contract - so guarantee the CV looks worthy of that.
The 4th of my 4 CV tips is: find some good feedback and have a little gem. Countless people dispatch their CVs without providing them with checked by anyone, and then wonder why employers don't respond. The truth is you've a wealth of advice and details with your friends and family when you find yourself writing a CV. See what you say about the document. If a lot more than 1 person suggests a difference then it's likely that they're right. Benefit from their CV tips too!
Naturally each of these tips will take a serious amounts of effort to employ. You could have to redraft the CV a couple of times prior to things right. I promise the effort is going to be worthwhile.

Last week I needed a meal that would be reasonably quick & easy, yet warm and filling on a cold January night. Enter Chicken Parmesan. I made a few changes to the recipe:
a. I didn't have seasoned bread crumbs, so I used some of my own and added Italian seasoning
b. After browning in the pan, I tossed the breasts into the oven for a few minutes to finish cooking.
c. Right before the chicken was ready to come out, I sprinkled some mozzerella & some more parmesan over top and let them melt.
Add some pasta, sauce from a jar (I love you, Paul Newman), and asparagus and voila. Yummy.

Posted: June 5th, 2018 | By: Kaitlyn Ruhf
Over the past six years, Professor John Knox has traveled thousands of miles, journeying to places such as Madagascar, Mongolia, and Uruguay, all for the sake of an idea.
In his final report as United Nations (U.N.) Special Rapporteur on the issue of human rights and the environment, Knox emphasized that "the interdependence of human rights and the environment is an idea whose time is here." The breadth of his travels, research, and government consultations have shaped this idea into a mission to reach global recognition of the human right to a healthy environment.
"A healthy environment is necessary for us to be able to enjoy lives of dignity, equality, and freedom," Knox has said. "And the exercise of human rights such as rights to information and public participation are vital to the protection of the environment."
Since being appointed by the U.N. Human Rights Council in 2012, Knox has promoted the use of internationally and constitutionally recognized human rights, including rights of freedom of expression and assembly, to defend the environment from harm.
The Council extended Knox's mandate in 2015, and appointed him to be the first-ever Special Rapporteur on the issue of human rights and the environment.
Knox has published and presented more than a dozen reports to the Council, addressing the application of human rights to a wide array of issues, from climate change to biodiversity to the rights of children.
His work culminated this March with a final report, in which he set out 16 "framework principles" that provide guidance for the implementation of human rights obligations in the environmental context.
"Human beings are part of nature," Knox writes. "And our human rights are intertwined with the environment in which we live. Environmental harm interferes with the enjoyment of human rights, and the exercise of human rights helps protect the environment and to promote sustainable development."
Like this shared narrative, Knox's own story, too, is embedded in the lives of the people he encountered during his travels across the world. From government officials to indigenous leaders, from climate negotiators in Paris to community activists, from environmental defenders to concerned mothers, each have imparted their own stories to Knox in the course of his work. Some of the voices behind these stories also note the importance of Knox's influence in their own lives.
"I think the main reason I am alive is because of John," said Phyllis Omido at the 2018 Wake Forest Law Review symposium on natural resources and human rights. "In 2013, there we many attempts to kill me, but a letter from John's office to the government of Kenya, which discussed the work we were doing, immediately caused the aggressors to back off."
Omido, an award-winning environmental defender in Kenya, went on to say that Knox's work has been critical to the continuity of her work. Unfortunately, the threats facing Omido are common among human rights advocates and environmental defenders.
"Being an environmental defender is one of the most dangerous occupations in the world," Knox says. "On average, every week four environmentalists are killed as a result of their work, somewhere in the world. Many more face harassment, violence, threats, and unlawful detention."
One way to combat threats to these vulnerable populations is through education.
In line with this principle, Knox joined the Universal Rights Group and several other organizations in developing and launching an educational web portal, environment-rights.org, which provides an extensive list of resources for environmental defenders and human rights advocates. The site launched in 2017.
Beyond his concentration on human rights and environmental defenders, Knox has focused his research and subsequent principles on educating citizens – even the youngest readers among them. One of his reports to the Human Rights Council in 2018 highlighted children's rights and the environment, and with the help of children "translators" in Northern Ireland, was also released in a "child-friendly" version.
His focus on future education is not limited to his work with the United Nations. At the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year, Knox announced the launch of the new Geneva Externship Program, enabling Wake Forest law students to work at an international organization or nonprofit in Geneva, Switzerland.
Knox's mandate concludes this summer. The Council has renewed the mandate for another three years, but he cannot serve another term, so his replacement will be named this July.
"This has been an inspiring and humbling mission," Knox says. "I have met some of the most courageous people in the world, who are risking their lives to protect the environment that we all depend upon. It has been a great honor to support them in their efforts."

Getting back in touch with nature is a great way to relieve yourself of the stress and non-stop madness of the modern world. Just breathing in some fresh air and taking in some beautiful scenery can have such a positive effect on both adults and children. It can totally improve the quality of everyone's lives.
At the South University, Virginia Beach, there is a Clinical Mental Health Counseling instructor by the name of Dr. Susanne Preston-Josey. She is a great advocate of fresh air and nature, saying that they can be of great benefit to mental health by the process of de-stressing.
She goes on to say that fresh air and sunlight give the most benefit and that the more exposure to natural sunlight that people have, then the less cases of seasonal affective disorder there are. Natural sunlight helps the body to produce vitamin D and this gives a person a natural high and increases their good mood feelings.
Dr. Preston also stated that research shows that increased time spent getting back to nature is associated with less cases of mental illness, especially anxiety and depression and, in fact, increases a person's self-esteem. Not only this but the effects on physical health are good as well, with a decrease in obesity being one of the major benefits.
She stresses the fact that it is important to partake in outdoor activities as much as possible. Walking in the park or the woods, open air yoga and meditation are all good ways of relaxing and getting fresh air and exercise at the same time.
Some Good Reasons To Get Back To Nature
The Harvard Health Letter of July 2010 gives five reasons as to why it is good to get back to nature.
Firstly, when you are exposed to natural sunlight, the vitamin D levels in your body will increase. The sun upon your skin helps with the production of this vital vitamin.
Research has also shown that vitamin D can help in combating several conditions including heart disease, cancer and depression. So, as long as you don't overdo the sun exposure, you will be doing your body a lot of good. You can always supplement this with vitamin D3 pills.
Then there is the benefit of regular exercise. It cannot be stressed enough, the importance of this. Even a brisk walk for twenty minutes every day will be beneficial to your health but some sort of aerobic exercise should be in your daily regime.
Thirdly, you will feel a lot happier. Natural sunlight, again, plays an important part in this. It is a well known fact that being under the sun lifts your mood and if you add this to the physical exercise, which also increases the sense of well-being, then you are on a winner!
Fourthly, you will increase your levels of concentration. Another well known fact is that children who suffer from ADHD concentrate better when outdoors, so this probably goes for adults as well.
Last but not least, it is quite probable that you will heal much quicker from certain ailments when you are outside in natural sunlight. This has been proven among people recovering from spinal surgery and even something as simple as a nice view from a hospital window can aid recovery and help prevent depression setting in.
Benefits For Children
An executive assistant at the Children and Nature Network, Robyn Bjornsson, has stated that, nowadays, children spend much less time outside than in previous years. This can be detrimental to children's health and general well-being, she said.
She also said that it can actually damage a child's mental and physical health by alienating them from nature, the term for this being 'nature-deficit disorder'.
According to her, children who play outside and are closer to nature, are much happier, healthier and also achieve better results at school. It also stimulates their creativity and increases self-esteem.
As well as this she states that research shows that being exposed to nature alleviates the symptoms of such things as attention-deficit disorder, stress, obesity, myopia and depression.
Dr. Preston agrees with all of this and said that it is much better for a child to be playing outside rather than stuck in front of a television or computer. Bjornsson also said that it is a great way for the family to spend some quality time together, engaging in such activities as hiking, camping, boating, sailing and so on.
It can be a bit of a challenge to parents to get their children to play outside in this age of computer games and suchlike but it should be a priority. Bjornsson suggests looking for local clubs or organizations that partake in such activities to get the children interested in the first place. All in all, all these aspects prove to be beneficial in this respect.

Jak Alnwick joins Scunthorpe on loan
Rangers and Scunthorpe United have confirmed that goalkeeper Jak Alnwick has left Ibrox to join the League One side on loan.
The loan is until January when the next transfer window opens and is subject to international clearance.
Alnwick has been at Rangers since January 2017 when he joined from Port Vale, making 11 appearances for the Light Blues since travelling north of the border.
Since arriving, the former England U17 and U18's number one has kept three clean sheets, to Dunfermline in the 6-0 win, the 3-0 victory away at Fraserburgh and the late 1-0 win over Kilmarnock late on in last season's Premiership season.
Scunthorpe are currently 18th in League One, after winning only one match of the first five league matches, not keeping a clean sheet in any game in all competitions so far.
Last season, Scunthorpe were close to being promoted and made the League One Play-Offs where they lost on aggregate to eventual Play-Off Champions, Rotherham United.
Alnwick has said (via Scunthorpe United Football Club):
I had a good run of games at Port Vale and then went to Rangers. Over the last year-and-a-half, I haven't played that much, so now it is important to kick on.
As a goalkeeper, you always need to be ready whether you are playing or not because it can only take one injury or one red card, then you are playing.
Alnwick will be available for selection for Scunthorpe's next game away at Accrington Stanley.

Vilebrequin enhances omnichannel offering
Tuesday February 26 2019
Swimwear and lifestyle brand Vilebrequin has implemented further omnichannel software to enhance its global commerce capabilities
Vilebrequin has a long-standing partnership with Cegid, having already integrated its vast network of resellers onto one platform from Cegid in 2003, and latterly updating its back-office systems, from procurement, merchandising, inventory, deliveries and billing, using Yourcegid Retail.
With a focus on growing direct-to-consumer sales, Vilebrequin also implemented Cegid's Point of Sale (POS) solution across its European and US stores, as well as launching a mobile-first ecommerce channel, a move which saw online sales double each year for the past three years.
Looking to enhance its omnichannel customer experience capabilities even further, Vilebrequin now offers click-and-collect, with orders fulfilled from its central warehouse, thanks to a single view of stock afforded by the Cegid platform.
Christian Roche, IT director at Vilebrequin, said: "While our exclusive international boutiques are our main sales channel, our objective was to increase our sales revenue, and focusing on digital growth was one of the main ways to achieve this. The stores that have deployed Cegid's solution on tablets have registered an increase in sales of between 2% and 5%."
Shopping experience
This, combined with a 360-degree customer view, has allowed the luxury swimwear brand to personalise encounters to enhance shopping experiences across its channels.
It has also empowered store staff with up-selling and cross-selling capabilities on tablet POS devices, via the implementation of Cegid's Clienteling, Cataloguing and Shopping modules.
This year, a new service will be added to Vilebrquin's multichannel offer: ship from store.
This will allow the brand to fulfil an online order from within a store's inventory, with plans to also introduce ultra-fast delivery options with order fulfilled within two hours by courier.

With thousands of free iPhone apps available, it can be daunting to narrow down the ones that are worth your time. Don't let the zero price tag fool you. Some of the best apps available can be downloaded at no charge.
Best of the web on your iPhone
The best invention for the music-challenged is the free Pandora Radio app. Let's say you're a fan of the band Kings of Leon but are not well versed in the alternative music genre. Enter the Pandora app. Just like the website, you can create a Kings of Leon radio station that not only plays the band's songs, but similar alternative songs. Now, not only do you not have to spend hours searching through iTunes, but you can also listen to the stations you create whenever, and wherever you want. Now that is genius!
When Facebook updated its free iPhone app in August, it provided yet another way to send and receive too much information to your friends and contacts. How did I ever get by without knowing that my best friend from junior high went to a Kenny Chesney concert or that the CFO of my company is a fan of "The Tube Sock Promise" band? TMI runs overtime on Facebook. And, with the new free Photoshop.com app, you can spruce up your latest Facebook profile pic!
Free and entertaining
It never ceases to amaze me why people shell out their hard earned cash, especially in this economy, to buy a Kindle device. Why pay hundreds of dollars for the ability to read books on a screen, especially when you can download the free Amazon Kindle app.
Call me lazy, but finding out what is on the tube before I wait for the satellite dish to download the program guide is excellent! The free iTV app, which also turns into a remote control, makes scheduling must-see TV nights even easier. While the iTV app also allows you to look up current movies playing in the theater, the free Fandango app can find and purchase movie tickets. If it's a date night, you can also make dinner reservations using the OpenTable app.
News you can use for free
If you are a sports junkie like me and follow lots of teams at once, you'll love the free ESPN ScoreCenter app. Set it up to show all your favorite teams scores and their upcoming schedules all in one convenient app.
On a more serious note, you can keep track of the latest swine flu outbreak with the free NPR app. The New York Times NYTimes app carries all the news that is fit for print and that can fit in your iPhone. The party will soon be over for anyone who likes to read the Wall Street Journal for free on their iPhone. In the coming days, WSJ – The Wall Street Journal will come equipped with a subscription fee.
Best shopping apps
Pulp or no pulp? Believe it or not, there's an app for that. Check out the free Consumer Reports app for all your tough shopping decisions. I watched a video on how to decipher between the different types of Orange Juice at the grocery store. Nifty Consumer Reports tip: Make OJ last longer and cut calories by adding soda water.
My friend Mike runs an oil painting business in addition to his full-time graphic design gig. The free eBay app allows him to take his business with him wherever he goes. Me, I just use it to find the latest pair of stilettos at a discount while I wait for my pumpkin spice latte. In this economy, everyone can use a little eBay.
Last but not least, if you've ever been stranded in the middle of a Costco with no idea what to make for that night's dinner party, you will fall in love with the free Epicurious app. Find a gourmet recipe at a moment's notice. If you have more time, make a complete week's worth of menus and the app will generate your own shopping list. Good luck getting the groceries for free.

Kwanza swap has Angolans flocking to Namibia
Recently-implemented regulations allowing the exchange of the Angolan Kwanza for Namibian dollars has brought back some Angolan shoppers, Simonis Storm Securities (SSS) have revealed.
James Cumming, Director of Research at the SSS, said Angolan shoppers are returning, although not at the same levels as in 2014. The high oil price is having a significant impact on them.
"The restrictions brought in earlier this year which limited the amount of hard currency Angolans could carry had a patent effect on the number of Angolans shopping in Namibia," Cumming said.
This comes at a time when property creator Oryx Properties released their 2015 financial results. Cumming said although the results were good, the company will be tested in an ever-increasingly overcrowded shopping mall environment in Namibia.
Windhoek's shopping malls are up for head-to-head competition, resulting in an overcrowded shopping mall environment.
Grove Mall, which is Namibia's largest shopping mall, opened its doors in October last year, competing head- on with Maerua Mall.
Meanwhile, Ohlthaver and List recently announced plans to expand Wernhil Park to become the largest mall in Namibia by 2017. "The value of investment property currently stands at N$2 205.7mn, which represents an 11.56% increase, while details are sketchy at the moment, but it is competition nevertheless," Cumming said.
Although the Grove Mall construction itself is complete, the adjacent buildings such as the gym, hospital, flats and office space are still under construction.
Once complete, this eco-system around the Grove could offer substantial competition to Maerua as the destination of choice for shoppers and mall rates.
The net rental income for Oryx properties increased by 19.0%, and rental cash flow increased by 31.5% on the back of the Maerua Mall expansion and the acquisition of Gustav Voigts in 2014.
Cumming said this should normalise from 2016 onwards, if no other substantial acquisitions are made.
"We are pleased to see the vacancy level at 0.7% for 2015, compared to 0.9% in 2014, and we believe that this figure will be kept below 1.0% over the next few years," he added.
The contribution to revenue from the retail, industrial and office sectors equates to 61.9%, 27.6% and 10.6% respectively, compared to 57.4%, 34.3% and 8.3%, respectively in the 2014 financial year. Oryx properties also recorded that operating profit grew by 42.7%, and profit for the year grew by 79.0%, mainly due to the revaluation of property during the year amounting to N$179.36 million, while in 2014 it stood at N$71.46 million.
"Finance costs for Oryx properties increased by 46.2% due to debt held for the full 2015 year, compared to only being held for a portion of 2014, while the average interest rate on outstanding debt increased by 0.1% to 8.1%, which will continue to rise in the current interest rate environment,"' he said.
Cumming said the interest rate swaps didn't have much impact in financial year 2015, but they expect these to have a larger set-off in future, adding that they expect interest rates to rise by 50 to 75 basis points over the next 12 months.

Jaylen Brown could return from injury on Thursday night when the Celtics take on the Knicks. If and when he does return it's likely he'll be coming off the bench. Starting spots that once went to him and Gordon Hayward now belong to Marcus Smart & Marcus Morris and that's proved to be a winning combo.
Celtics Stuff Live's Justin Poulin & Jon Duke discuss just how Jaylen will fit in when he comes back.

"My leg! My leg! My fucking leg!" I screamed, writhing in agony in the truck bed while Warning sped around like a scared cat behind the wheel. I kept rolling around on the wound. It'd have to be amputated or something. I wasn't ready to lose the leg I just learned how to walk on.
"Meow!" I could hear Warning say from the driver's seat. He's already back on that shit. Perverts, man.
"I look like a fucking freeeeeeak!" I yelled out to an evil and uncaring God.
Warning turned around.
"Look, bud, it's okay. We all have our place in the world. Sometimes we have to embrace the difference."
At least he dropped the English accent he had put on. I should get this guy a gift card to a therapist.
"When's your birthday?" I asked.
"I don't know. Both my parents were eaten alive by a pack of house cats while they were copulating on my third birthday. I was too young to know. But I think that's where my mommy issues come from."
"You think it's just mommy issues? What about the whole walking around naked and meowing like a cat thing?"
"No. That just makes me horny."
"Okay," I said. "I think we need to see Dr. Bolognanon."
"Already headed that way."
I recognized the surroundings. We were headed for the mall off of 410. Pretty brazen for a naked dude to roll into the parking garage with half a hard-on driving stick. He went straight to the attendant.
"Yo, bro. You and your dick and your deer need to back the fuck up before I call the police."
Warning stared deep into the attendant's eyes and said, "Scan me."
"Order received." The attendant pulled out a scanning gun and pointed them into each of Warning's eyes. In a trance, the attendant said, "Identity confirmed. Please proceed to parking spot 12A for your transferration."
Warning pulled into 12A and we were immediately lowered into a secret basement.
"This is Bolognanon's lab. Quick, get into the driver's seat so he doesn't know that I'm not actually one of his abominations."
I tried to stand up but I immediately fell back down. "I can't walk, man. The truck is stick, I need both legs, and I can't drive the damn thing anyways with these fucking hooves."
"Bolognanon is not very observant. He's just a hack-scientist publishing papers in independent small journals. Sometimes he just self-publishes on his blog: Bolognablog."
"Wow," I said, "No wonder everyone ignores him."
I tried to stand up again.
"Meow, you idiot. You have four legs. Now you have three. Just walk like a fucking deer does and you'll be fine."
He was right. I was so dedicated to the idea of appearing human that I thought I was disabled when I lost the last vestige of visible humanity that I had. But nobody knew I was a human anyways. Nobody goes up to a deer and talks to it just because it's bipedal. All they see is a freak deer that should be shot dead on sight. Fuck humans, man. And fuck deer, too.
"Oh, stop with this fucking charade!" Bolognanon said as his motorized scooter lurched toward us. "I know you're not a genuine mancat, you idiot. I just thought studying a human with a human brain pretending to have a cat brain amongst other naked mancats would finally break me into the American Psychological Association but they rejected my proposal saying that it was unethical to switch man brains with cat brains and some other hoody-doo. You're just a pervert who likes to be naked and lick himself. So what? Most men do the same when they're shitting on the toilet. You just do it in the open. You can stick around. I don't care."
Warning was visibly distraught.
"You knew this whole time?"
"Of course I knew. I'm a doctor. I'm a scientist."
"You're a god," Warning bowed. "I will do anything for you."
"I want your legs," Bolognanon said. "I want your fucking legs. I'll take everything from the waist down, in fact. I'm tired of this scooter."
A rage filled Bolognanon's eyes. "Do not question he that gave you purpose!"
"I'll think about it," Warning said.
"Don't take too long." Bolognanon turned to me. "So what's the problem?"
"I got shot in the leg."
"What are you doing? Prancing around trying to be a hero or something? Give me a break. Stay out of trouble. I'll splint that stupid thing. It'll heal no problem." Bolognanon turned back to Warning. "Look, if you're married to your legs, I'll just transfer your brain into a cat body. You can live as a cat and you won't ever need legs."
Warning liked this idea. His excitement showed as it hardened.
"You're like a dog," Bolognanon said. "I bet you'd eat your own shit." He smacked Warning across the face. "I hate you."
"I'll do it," Warning said. His eyes were broken but his erection was not. "I want to be a pussy."
Bolognanon laughed. He turned to me. "Can you believe this idiot? Nobody calls cats pussies anymore unless they're just trying to rile up their feminist girlfriend. It's like a guy calling a female dog a bitch. They do it and then they immediately turn to explain to everyone that it's okay because it's a female dog. Everyone in the fucking room gets it and rolls their eyes. But this idiot…" he pointed his finger to Warning, "he's not even trying to be funny. The joke is for us because he's the joke."
After a few feeble attempts to stop his quivering chin, Warning started to cry.
"I'm just trying to be my best self."
"Shut up!" Bolognanon slapped him again. "I hate you I said! Now, let's get you drugged up. That waist is mine."
"Can I pick out what cat I want to be?"
"No. I only have one viable cat left and I think you'll be well-pleased with it. You like Garfield?"
"Uhhhh…" Warning said but he was interrupted again by a firm, flat-palmed smack to the cheek.
"Shut the fuck up. Nobody likes Garfield. It was a joke. You'd laugh if you weren't such an idiot. Dilgo! Dilgo! Where are you! Please ready the drugs for our waist transfer!"
"Ow!" I said because it seemed like everyone forgot that we were only here to fix up my leg.
"Oh, yeah." Bolognanon got up off of his scooter and danced to me.
"I thought you needed new legs?" Warning asked.
"You need to learn the difference between want and need, Warning. You want to be a cat. You don't need to be. I want new legs. My old legs are boring me to death. But, man, can they dance." Bolognanon tap danced a little ditty just to rub it in Warning's face. "Now, shut the fuck up and follow Dilgo."
Dilgo was a large man. He looked like he was made out of clay. His skin was dry and cracking but he had a constant drool flowing from his mouth. His eyes were crossed and he had an underbite. He was completely bald.
"You follow me," Dilgo said to Warning. "I make you pussy."
Bolognanon grabbed my leg. "Does it hurt when I try to hurt it?"
I screamed. I almost kicked him in the face and tore off his nose but I resisted my own instincts.
Bolognanon grabbed a few pieces of wood and some bandage tape. He wrapped it tight and sealed it with a kiss. "Just like mama," he said. "Don't do too much on it but it should heal in about four months. If someone shoots you dead, much faster."
I wasn't sure I liked Bolognanon's sense of humor but I had to be patient with it. He is, after all, the key to me figuring out what the fuck I'm meant to be in this world.
"You got a restroom? A shower?" I asked.
"Yeah, but it's under the Chick-Fil-A."
"Deer go nuts for peanuts. But they go apeshit for peanut oil. Everything Chick-Fil-A cooks is blessed by a priest and cooked in peanut oil. Everybody knows that. Learned it from Father Daddy. He blesses all the Chick-Fil-A's in Bexar, Hayes, and Travis counties. He knows damn near everything there is to know about them. He hates gay people, too. But check this out, one of his brains is a gay dude's."
"What? I have no idea how this applies to anything having to do with me."
"You'll see. You'll see. Anyways, just follow the water line until you see dripping peanut oil. You'll see the bathroom."
I hobbled over to the bathroom and turned on the shower. It's hard to get a good lather going with hooves but I managed.
I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself. The mirror was fogged up. I took a hoof and tried to clear some of the condensation off. It was no use. I just scratched up the mirror. Squinting my eyes, I couldn't make out that I was a deer. There was a shadow of my former self there.
"He's as empty as me," I said. "Just because I'm a deer now doesn't mean I was happy then. I've always been an empty sack of useless flesh. It doesn't matter what my bones are wrapped up in."
With my two front hooves, I shattered the mirror. I took my antlers and charged at the tile walls. I charged and charged and charged until the whole fucking wall was rubble. In the next room was Dilgo hovering over Warning who had clearly changed his mind about the whole operation.
"Meow! Meow! Meow!" he was screaming in a panic.
"Heh-heh." Dilgo readied what looked like a pizza slicer in the air. "Me make you big pussy!"

Last week I was at a conference full of content; and although I would have liked for all to have been there, that wasn't possible, so here is another phrase to talk about:
"The goal in disagreement is not compromise, but what Jesus says."
I can't tell you who said that (for security reasons), but he discussed some deep thoughts. He talked about n=1 which basically says that there are a certain amount of minds in a room. In a marriage there are two; in a small group there are 4-8; in a church there are who knows how many, but usually a lot of different people with a lot of different ideas. So finding a compromise is difficult. But when you do want to find a solution, generally you want to appease as many as possible...and actually make a sensible decision. This is difficult to say the least. So what do you do? n+1 says that you need to reach the mind of the +1 or the mind of Jesus.
This makes a big difference in our decision making. Plans usually have ulterior motives, but when you decide what Jesus would decide, then it is hard to get to those motives. Now deciding the mind of Jesus obviously means much study of what He would do.
Another phrase that speaker threw out briefly was "love trumps humility." I am still trying to sort out what that means in my different situations, but it has to do with decision making. I can't use a great characteristic like humility to get me out of what I know I should do out of love for God and love for people. I think of passing in basketball. It is a great thing; except when you have the ball wide open with a great look in a good shooting zone for you. You may think that the humble thing to do is to pass it and give up the glory found when making a shot, but that is not the right thing to do. Your coach and team want you to shoot it.
I prefer to be in the back of the line when it comes to serving food in large groups. Mainly because I look humble in waiting for everyone else even though I know I just do it so I won't feel bad about taking as much as I want of whatever I want because everyone has had their chance. :) But sometimes no one wants to go first and the loving, serving thing to do is to go first.
So look at your decision making and first of all find the mind of Jesus. Live His life of humility, submission and obedience!

Rumor has it that Qatar has invited Iran to participate in a four-team friendly tournament in March 2019.
Brazil is expected to be one of the four teams at the tournament.
How true is this news? Well, it isn't far-fetched that the Qataris can get Brazil to play in a friendly tournament.
But I will believe this when I see it. I would love for Iran to play Brazil again, but we have seen Kosovo cancel a friendly with Iran, or vice-versa.

Put Up or Shutup
August 22, 2015 § Leave a comment
Gazing out the window this morning, sipping a hot cup of "half-Macchiato" at 30,000 feet, on my way to work for a week or two, I have the time to sit back and contemplate life before the "tons, tons, tons, go, go, go, safety, safety, safety…" starts. reading the morning papers, I note that the stockmarket is heading down the toilet, the government is after my superannuation, I'm about to be taxed more and the Greenies are trying to shutdown mining in Australia and not an intelligent or informed debate to be found.
All of the economists who came out of the woodwork after the GFC were able to explain exactly why it happened, but none of them predicted it. Yet, there they were, confident, knowledgeable and authoritative; giving the cameras the benefit of their wisdom….in hindsight. Yeah, we can all do that.
With newspapers losing a fortune and TV journalism turning into nothing but dressed up social media (Do you have a story ? Send us your photos or tips !!) playing a continuous stream of freak-shows from youtube (and inserting ads for our benefit), it would appear that any talking head they can drag out from anywhere is worthy of "Expert" status.
Given this endless stream of irrelevant wankers bombarding us all with their expertise, I thought it high time that someone with real intelligence, real expertise and real experience went into bat for the average Aussie thinking battler. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone suitably qualified who had the time, so I'm going to give it a shot myself. I'm just another poor bastard who works for a living and provides the funds for all of the Illuminati to contemplate the pressing social issues of the Great Southern Land on my behalf, because we are clearly not smart enough to know what's good for us.
Every man and his dog has a blog these days so I make no apologies for these musings of a cranky old hard-rock miner. Read 'em if you want to, go somewhere else if you don't. Opinions shall be strong, research shall be weak and grammar and punctuation will be non exisitent.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
In the section Hierarchies in the app.conf, it is possible to configure the "display of collections and objects as a single hierarchie".
This would serve to present the hierarchical relationship from the backgrounds to the documents when the documentary groupings are described in the COLLECTIONS table and the documents in the OBJECTS table?
What values are indicated in the sentences?
How does this work?
Thank you.
Yes, this setting allows objects and collections to exist in the same hierarchy within the hierarchy browser. You simply need to set a relationship type and enable the configuration.
Hello Julia,
Thank you very much for your prompt response. Could you give me an example of how this configuration should look in the file?
Another question, is it possible to visualize the hierarchies browser in the table OBJECTS? If so, how and where is it configured?
Yes, this is how it looks in app.conf:
ca_objects_x_collections_hierarchy_enabled = 1
ca_objects_x_collections_hierarchy_relationship_type = related
Where "related" should be set to whatever relationship type you'd like to use in your custom config.
As for object hierarchies that is handled on the editor UI and can be controlled via the bundle "hierarchy_location" or via the GUI the bundle is called: "Location in hierarchy"
Thank you.

It is admittedly easy to protest something and think you are making an immense impact when in actuality, you are barely scratching the surface of the major underlying issue.
In 2014, I was at the peak of my crafting career as a sorority girl who had just gotten a little. I remember hearing that Hobby Lobby was denying coverage of contraceptives in its employee insurance plans due to the owners' Christian religious beliefs. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 has a "contraceptive mandate," requiring employers to cover certain contraceptives for female employees, which Hobby Lobby blatantly defied. The case was escalated to the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby. I was furious with this ruling, because it meant that for-profit organizations can be exempt from a law if its owners object to it on a religious basis. I believe that all women should have access to affordable reproductive healthcare, so I immediately boycotted Hobby Lobby. I have not set foot in a Hobby Lobby since.
It's easy to take action based on current events that are making headlines. However, Hobby Lobby is not the first company to restrict access to reproductive healthcare for its employees. There are many major for-profit organizations with misogynistic, racist, and homophobic owners. The CEOs of Urban Outfitters, Chick-fil-A, Exxon, The Salvation Army, and Boy Scouts of America, just to name a few, are notoriously anti-LGBTQ. If you want to exclusively support companies that actively support gender equality, reproductive healthcare accessibility, and the LGBTQ community, you have a lot of research to do and a lot of companies to boycott. It's exhausting.
A week ago, it was revealed via 990 nonprofit tax forms that Phil Anschutz, owner of Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), has made considerably large donations to nonprofit organizations that are anti-LGBTQ and deny climate change. These organizations include Alliance Defending Freedom (anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion), the National Christian Foundation (the biggest anti-LGBTQ rights funder in America), the Family Research Council (asserts that the LGBTQ community is a threat to American society), Institute for American Values (testified in support of California's Prop 8), and Americans for Prosperity (lobbies against global warming). Phil Anschutz and his wife personally donated over $1 million to republican-aligned candidates and super PACs, placing the couple in the top 100 families who donated the most money during the 2016 election season.
On January 6, Anschutz released a statement to Rolling Stone that this is "fake news" and "garbage" and that he "supports the rights of all people without regard to sexual orientation." This is a textbook example of damage control. One statement means nothing when you have a history of donating millions of dollars to organizations with anti-LGBTQ agendas. He cannot claim that he "did not know" that those organizations have anti-LGBTQ initiatives. If he truly did not research the initiatives of these organizations, his ignorance does not pardon him from his sizable donations. Chances are, he was aware of these initiatives. I thoroughly research nonprofits before donating a mere $20. Just because Anschutz is the 39th richest person in America with a net worth of $10.8 billion, doesn't mean he has no regard for where his money goes.
As an activist, I am at a crossroads. It's easy for me to say that I'm boycotting Coachella, the largest festival that AEG promotes. I wasn't planning on going anyway. The issue is that AEG is the second largest concert promoter behind Live Nation. AEG owns 35 venues, promotes over 5,400 concerts annually, and sold nearly 15 million tickets in 2015. The company promotes tours for artists including The Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Paul McCartney, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, and Bruno Mars. If you truly want to stick it to Phil Anschutz, you will have to boycott every event that AEG promotes, which is a sizable chunk of the concert industry. As industry professionals, fans, and artists, it is much more difficult to avoid AEG than it is to avoid setting foot in a Hobby Lobby.
As fans, are we ethically responsible for boycotting companies whose owners support organizations that we are morally opposed to? It's dicey. By purchasing tickets to these events, a portion of our ticket price, albeit small, is going into the pocket of Phil Anschutz, who is in turn donating our money to anti-LGBTQ and climate change denying organizations. However, by boycotting AEG Live, we would have to boycott our favorite artists, venues, and festivals. These artists, like 2017 Coachella headliner Beyoncé, are philanthropists and activists. In 2016, Beyoncé placed first in DoSomething.org's annual "Celebs Gone Good" list. By purchasing a Coachella pass, your money goes into the pockets of both Phil Anschutz and Beyoncé. Does the positive outweigh the negative or does the negative outweigh the positive? Or do the two balance each other out? It's up to you to decide.
It is also impossible to ignore the fact that by protesting Coachella, we are also protesting the hard work of the employees of Goldenvoice, the concert promoter owned by AEG Live that actually does the work to execute the festival. We are also protesting the hardworking managers, agents, engineers, technicians, carpenters, marketers, sponsors, and vendors (just to name a few) involved with this festival.
As artists, are we responsible for only partnering with companies whose owners support the same causes as us? If a major promoter like AEG wants to promote your tour, it is difficult to say no. A promoter like AEG can offer valuable resources to touring musicians that other promoters simply cannot. We all know that it is exceedingly difficult to succeed as a touring musician. When an opportunity comes your way, it's hard to pass it up. My challenge for any artists, fans, and industry professionals who may be reading this is to make an effort to support local promoters. Work with local promoters and purchase tickets to the events they are promoting. This way, we can decrease AEG's market share and support promoters who are hardworking and avid supporters of equal rights and other critical social issues that are important to us.
Let me know in the comments if you are boycotting Coachella and other AEG events. More importantly, do you think boycotting Coachella is an effective way of protesting Phil Anschutz's homophobic agenda? Or does boycotting this festival do more harm than good?

15 Ways To Fundraise Over
Winter Break
By Sammie Rothney
Now that you have a break from school, you've got time to raise some serious funds for your international travels with GIVE! If you're volunteering with us this summer, this means you've got 3-5 months to get your money in order. This is the year you're volunteering abroad! How exciting! Take our advice, right now, is really the best time to fundraise for your volunteer trip.
To help you out, we've put together a few strategies. Depending on your style, you might want to do fundraising the old-fashion way, or you might want to work, or you might want to find ways to simply save. Our biggest tip is that instead of just thinking about it, actually DO IT! Read through to spark some inspiration!
Get creative with ways to receive donations for your trip!
Does your family send holiday cards? Download these fundraising cards and slip them into the envelopes, along with those holiday cards you're already planning to send to your family and friends! It's a super quick and easy way to ask for support for your trip! Tip: Printing on cardstock will improve quality, but regular printer paper works just fine!
Host a fundraising dinner party at your house while you're home! Invite your friends and family to come over. Cook an inexpensive meal, like a pasta dish or tacos, and have each person pay $20 to come! Make it fun with a theme and decorate! Advertise with a Facebook event ahead of time and you are set up for a fun evening to raise funds for your trip!
Put a donation jar out at your family gatherings! Decorate it with pictures and bullet points about your volunteer trip. Tell your relatives that your jar will be sitting right next to the cookies 😉
Ask your friends and family to donate to your trip, rather than give gifts this year! Do you really need another scarf? Let them know you would prefer that $20 to help fund your travels! Have them write a check, or allow them to gift you with a GIVE gift certificate! Also let them know that they can help you out by donating their flight miles as a gift!
While you have time off from school, make something and sell it to fundraise! Successful handmade items sold by our past volunteers are candles, soaps, t-shirts, pie-in-a-jar, bracelets, body scrubs, earrings, canvas paintings, and a whole lot more! Get on Pinterest and find something simple and inexpensive to make. Buy in bulk to get your cost per item between $1-4 to make, this way when you sell them for $10 (for example), you will make a profit! Promote on all social media platforms! Tell people to buy your item to help you fund your trip, they surely would make great gifts!
Earn some extra money by working while you're not in school!
Offer to wrap people's presents for donations! Get the word out on social media and make sure your mom tells all her friends! Or try going to your nearest Barnes & Noble to see if you can reserve a gift-wrapping table for donations to your volunteer trip.
Shovel snow for your neighbors! Knock on doors to let people know you can clear their driveways for donations for your volunteer trip. This really works!
Get a seasonal job at home! Retail stores, restaurants, and delivery services tend to hire extra people this time of year. Pick up some extra shifts while you have some time off school. This is a quick way to earn $1,000 with some hard work!
Babysit for parents who need to holiday shop! Send a message to anyone you know to let them know you are available to babysit for them while you're home for break. And tell them to tell their friends! While you're at it, also let them know you can wrap their gifts! See how things came full circle there?
Get to work on your closet! Take out clothes, shoes, dresses, bags, outdoor gear, or electronics that you don't use any more. Host a garage sale or sell your items on Facebook Marketplace or eBay! Work on selling these items over break while people are buying things for the holidays!
Spend less and instead put money towards your travels!
Instead of buying all new clothes for all your holiday parties. DON'T! Rewear clothing you already have or borrow! Think about how much money you will save. $50? $100? $200? You can put that straight towards your trip expenses!
Handmake your gifts or buy second-hand! This is not only a more sustainable route, but it will be a more thoughtful and less expensive present for friends and family.
Those holiday Starbucks cups just aren't worth it! Save the $5 you would spend on a latte, and instead put that in your adventure jar to go toward your trip! You'd be amazed how fast you'll see your money start to accumulate. Trust us, do this for one month and see how much you save!
Invite friends to your house for dinner, rather than eating-out for your meals! This is usually the time to catch up with people you haven't seen in a while, which means you're probably spending a lot of money when going out all the time! Instead, gather at home to cook, play cards, and catch up. Doesn't that actually sound kinda fun?
Budget your spendings! Have you ever looked to see where you can cut down your spending habits? Now is a great time to look into it! Google search a budgeting chart or use an app like Mint!

Although it was a new year and a different competition for the John C. Birdlebough High School Class of 2019, the result was the same as they proved victorious in the Battle of the Classes.
The annual battle is the culminating event in a yearlong quest for spirit points. Throughout the school year, freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors participate in various community service activities to earn points for their respective class. Those points serve as the initial score for each team in the Battle of the Classes, with teams earning additional points in every minigame and competition.
At the start of this year's battle in the gymnasium, the class of 2019 had the lead and never looked back. The senior team, comprised of Ethan Hunt, Eric Betts, Cole LaPine, Marcus Berube, Kearra Backus, Erika Brown, Katie Kimball and Gianna DeRoberts, out-dueled the sophomore class in the Tug-of-War for the title of champion.
Seniors finished with 74 points, sophomores with 57, juniors with 55 and freshmen with 45.

To the handful of petrochemical scientists, engineers and industry executives who have spent a lifetime trying to unlock America's domestic energy potential, the country's current shale-oil and -gas boom is the result of a half-century of technological trial and error. But to the rest of the world, it has seemed like an overnight miracle. In less than a decade, the United States has gone from importing $30 billion worth of natural gas to the cusp of becoming an energy exporter.
Thanks to improvements in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, wells can be dug into rock formations that are nearly 100 m thick and tap reserves that are nearly two kilometres wide. That has the potential to unleash enough oil and gas to power America for nearly a century—a feat unthinkable just a few years ago.
The golden age of gas, as it has been dubbed, is already reshaping the economies of newly energy-rich states from California to North Dakota. It is helping to rebuild America's industrial landscape and holds profound implications for global politics. "North America has set off a supply shock that is sending ripples throughout the world," declared Maria van der Hoeven, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), which, in May, issued a prediction that America's oil and gas boom "will be as transformative to the market over the next five years as was the rise of Chinese demand over the last 15."
If soaring demand from Asia and political instability in the Middle East has defined the last few decades of oil politics, the agency predicts that America's shale-gas and -oil revolution will define the future. The transformation is happening faster than anyone would have predicted. After decades spent tracking the global price of crude, North American natural-gas prices have recently become unglued from the rest of the world, plunging from $13 per thousand cubic feet in 2008 to below $2 last year. (They're now closer to $4.)
The glut of cheap gas has helped drive the U.S. economic recovery by slashing the price of natural-gas by-products—valuable petrochemicals such as ethylene, propane and butane—that are used to manufacture everything from shampoo, to window panes, to fertilizer. That has unexpectedly brightened the prospects of American manufacturers and farmers, who analysts estimate now have the lowest cost of raw materials in the world outside of Qatar. Less expensive materials could slash costs to manufacturers by as much as $12 billion a year by 2025 and create a million new manufacturing jobs, according to an analysis byPricewaterhouseCoopers.

Farnam Street Investments letter to clients for April 2015.
"I think you have to learn that there's a company behind every stock, and that there's only one real reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well, or small companies grow to large companies." – Peter Lynch
Farnam Street Investments Client Letter
- We've been busy lately! With April trips to New York, Toronto, and Omaha, we've been checking on current investments and searching for new opportunities.
- Despite this severely overvalued market, we're excited about some new investments we've uncovered that fit Lynch's mold from the quote above. Several smaller stocks have recently shrunk in price, piquing our interest after going on sale by 60-80% off. NAME AND DETAILS CERTAIN REDACTED REDACTED
- One in particular is XXXX which stock price has already increased We think it can still double if management executes on their strategy. We'll be cheering them on!
- The company is debt free with more than $XXXXm in cash built by its high profit margins and returns on capital, despite large recent investments in a new hotel booking platform.
- The XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX model is being replaced with a more profitable XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX model. Wall Street hates the kind of uncertainty around a business model change, hence the opportunity for us.
- Highly regarded activist investor, XXXXXXX Capital, owns more than 5% of the company at prices far greater than our clients have paid.
- XXXXXX is just one of several new investments we're excited about. We'll have more to share in coming letters.
- Speaking of sharing investments, if anyone asks what we have you invested in, please don't give any specifics. Good ideas are hard to come by and are for the sole benefit of our clients. It's in everyone's best interest to treat our ideas as proprietary. If someone is curious, please send them our way.
- Save the date of October 3rd, 2015 for Farnam Street Investments' Annual Bash!
As always, we're thankful to have such great partners in this wealth creation journey.

TV On The Radio
TV On The Radio has never been a band to stick to one distinct sound throughout their career. From avant garde noise rock to fast-paced electro funk, they have always done a good job of mixing things up. Their last album 9 Types of Light was the first of the band's four albums that did not to receive extremely high acclaim. In my opinion that is wrongfully so. I found 9 Types of Light to be a highly underrated album. The sound played off of their previous effort, Dear Science but also incorporated a more simple, lighter approach. With no fifth album officially announced, nor in the works, yesterday they released for the first time a new studio song that have been touring with for a while now, "Mercy".

These are so delicious but soooo fattening.
Yoplait whipped is the Better of the yogurts they have, I Love them because they are fluffy and very flaverful. I buy this brand every time I want yogurt. It's Delicous and Great in some recipes
love it low fat lowest price low calories taste fruit in every bite i take it as a dessert substitute
I got an opportunity to try the Yoplait Whipped Yogurt from Kroger and I snatched the Vanilla Cupcake flavor right off the shelf. Not trembling with sheet excitement [its just Yogurt after all!!] I opened the pack dreaming of fluffy goodness looking back at me but instead I was staring into a plain looking yogurt. By the looks it was not a mouth watering and dig right in bowl of yogurt. It did smell a bit of vanilla and cupcake, so in terms of representing the named ingredients, it was all there. It was just exceptionally boring to look at. However after the first bite it did appear as a light and fluffy mousse. Decent taste and scent of vanilla. Worth the try, I recommend.
Whenever I want something sweet or when I am looking for something sweet for a snack, this is first on my list. The whipped yogurt have a small amount of more calories but they are still healthier than all out sugar. It's also delicious
These are super good--fluffy, airy, and just super tasty! Our kids love them! Just watch the sugars though but these are really good when eaten in moderation (as with everything else).
I am not a yogurt person but the whips are some that I will actually eat. My favorite is the key lime pie flavor.
These make yogurt really taste like dessert! Several of my children prefer these to regular yogurt, so they are a great way for them to get some calcium!
Love this yogurt. It taste like a dessert. Love the texture. Once again plenty of coupons out there for this item.
i love the texture of the whips, i just wish they had more flavors than the few they do.
I'll pass on the Whips. I tried the chocolate mousse. The whipped texture is something I expected: very light and fluffy. However, I didn't really like the taste.

some folk really don't like Weezer these days
This is quite my favourite 'news' story on the web this morning.
A disgruntled Seattle music fan has offered to collect together $10m and give it to Weezer, if only River Cuomo and the gang will do the decent thing and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
"Every year, Rivers Cuomo swears that he's changed, and that their new album is the best thing that he's done since Pinkerton, and what happens? Another pile of crap like Beverly Hills or I'm Your Daddy," James Burns told my former US newspaper, Seattle's The Stranger. "This is an abusive relationship, and it needs to stop now. I am tired of my friends being disappointed year after year. I am tired of endless whimsical cutesy album covers and music videos. I'm sick of hearing about whatever this terrible (and yes, even if you like the early stuff, you should be able to admit that they are wretched now) excuse for a band is up to these days. If all 852,000 of you (really?) who bought Pinkerton pitch in $12, we will meet our goal. I beg you, Weezer. Take our money and disappear."
This is such a genius idea, although $10m seems a little overdoing it, that my mind is reeling from the implications. What would it take to shut up some of Weezer's peers?
Alice In Chains – $1m and the promise of a lifetime's supply of (over-the-counter) pharmaceutical drugs?
Pavement – the complete recorded works of The Fall, to replace the ones Steve Malkmus has already worn out?
'Smashing Pumpkins' – a season's guest spot as one of the judges on American Idol?
Hole 2.0 – starring roles in the next five Bruce Willis movies?
U2 – the papacy?
Hell, chuck $1m (Aus) my way and I'd happily turn in my writing gloves for good. Cheap at half the price, I'd say.
Assuming Weezer are simple money-grabbing bastards who don't give a shit about their music these days… and I can't see any reason not to be assuming that… and take the offer, Collapse Board already has the perfect replacement!
7 Responses to some folk really don't like Weezer these days
But you have to admit that Weezer fans are wierd. They cling to those first two albums like a dog with an old bone while living in hope that their next album will be a magical 'return to form'. (I'm not a massive Weezer fan but I actually liked the Make Believe album, though I think I'm completely alone in the world there and, uncommonly, I'm generally not one with great expectations at the dawn of a new release).
I'm right with you Stocky. Make Believe is, in my opinion, their 4th best albu
(after blue and green (equal first) and Maladroit). Pinkerton is overrated. I haven't heard the new one, but the mist disappointing for me is Raditude. It's not bad, it's not good; it's just not anything.
My favourite thing about Weezer of course is that they are the band with the mist eponymous albums – 3. (Small Face with 2 come in second)
A quick correction Ev. Check your source, James is *not* a weezer fan at all, but his "old lady" is. Also his bands are about 10 times better than Weezer at their top dollar best, and I say that as a fan. I think it is fantastic that he really has made this more about the "why should we even care?" Element. Pushing the Overton window and all.
It is not about promoting himself or HIS band, just asking why we should care about THAT overexposed band.
If you look at the actual fundraising site it is shockingly low in actual funds, although the story has been viewed or talked about in some form or another almost contiunally across the whole world.
I think the clear winner here is the elephant in the room about a band phoning it in/littering the already cluttered landscape with mediocre music.
That and that if the campaign tips (unlikely) and Weezer refuses, all the money gets donated to Reading is Fundamental. Especially hilarious since so many people have incorrectly assumed the campaign creator James Burns is a disgruntled fan.
I think also that their first 2 albums are the best. Their Blue album is without exaggeration my favourite album of all time.
They say that if Hilter quit before he started invading countries he'd be perceived a good politician historically.
Similarly Weezer should have pulled the plug as soon as Matt Sharp left to focus on his (as it turned out shit) band.
I was going to say they should tour their first 2 albums only (like Sheezer do) but I've seen them live and …they sucked.
They say you should never meet your heroes…only in dreams…
Reading is fundamental, I apologize.
I appreciate your use of all caps in SHUT THE FUCK UP though.
Good stuff. 🙂
Lets not pretend like Weezer is the only band where people wait for them to make a new classic. they do have I believe the loudest fan-base about it though. Somebody here said the liked the "Make Believe" album and they were alone in that sentiment. I liked a couple songs on there. "We Are All On Drugs" and "Perfect Situation" specifically. But my favorite is Maladroit. I think that is extremely underrated. Pinkerton is overrated but only because most people think this is a masterpiece. I think there are very well constructed songs on there. But, it's not brilliant. It's just really good. It's surprising though that that album got overlooked in 96. I may be alone in this sentiment, but I think of their first four albums that's their poppiest(if that's even a word) album. However, the premise for this article is pointless. You realize if somebody were stupid enough to give them this money, and they are the money-grabbing whores most people think they are, they would take the money. BUT, then they would come back two years later and do it all again. Then somebody will post a bigger price to get them to shut up. The cycle will go on and on till Weezer or the fans finally get sick of it. The only real way to get them to shut up is to stop talking about them and stop listening to them. While this wasn't the case until a few years ago, this point is now true in music. The worst reaction, is no reaction. Even if people hate you, you'll still get millions of youtube views and pub just see and talk about how "horrible" someone is. IF you want them to shut up, pretend they don't exist. That's the best way.
