The Slant
US to You Dear Manhattan, Well, you may have noticed yet again a change in how the print version of The Hype looks. That's because we've switched printers! Our pages are now cranked out by the fine folks at Seaton Publishing! We're hoping some of the issues we've had in the past with color management and print consistency will now be a thing of the past. Also, this officially makes The Hype 100% local; all the money from sponsors now stays inside the city limits (to the best of our knowledge). Speaking of sponsors, if you go into one of our amazing sponsor locations to grab a Hype, tell them thanks for us. Without these kind folk, who have some of the hardest, most nerve-wracking jobs in the world and generally get paid only a bit more than you or I, there would be no Hype Weekly.

The Bump
As you can see on the next page, there are some important things going on in the realm of local politics in Manhattan. We kind of hate that word, especially in recent years, but sometimes even we must use it. If you want to see change in our community, make it happen, whatever you believe. I know that may sound grandiose or naive, but you'd be amazed how much help you'll get if you just start something, try something, give some of your time to someone else. Regardless of what or where you're currently occupying, there's a lot of work to be done around here, and a lot of it doesn't involve holding a sign or getting your picture in the paper. And if there's anything we can do to help you, your organization or business get something done, let us know. We're all in this together-ish. :P Love, The Hype Weekly

City Commission to Decide Non-Profit's Fate
On Tuesday, October 25th at 5:00 pm the city commissioners will have a work session at City Hall to discuss the possibility of de-funding many non-profit organizations in Manhattan. These organizations include: Hospice and Homecare, Sunflower CASA, The Manhattan Homeless Shelter, The Manhattan Crisis Center, Kansas Legal Services, Big Brothers and Sisters, The Boys and Girls Club, UFM, Shepherd`s Crossing, Manhattan Daycare and KSU Child Development Center.
Band to Play 250 Gigs by Year's End www.promiseofthereal.com
It's often a cliché to call a band "the hardest working band in rock and roll," but when you play 250 shows a year, the title is quite fitting. Such is the case with Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, who continue their road warrior status by criss-crossing the country through the year's end. "We've been having a great time on the road and played some of our best shows ever," says Lukas Nelson, singer-songwriter-guitarist, "We're really gelling as a band, getting so tight now because we've been performing so much and it's been fun to see the fan base grow." Adds drummer Anthony LoGerfo, "I think the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota last month was one of our best shows we've ever played. To have 15,000 bikers watching us on their motorcycles and revving their engines after each song was so powerful. I think it opened the door to new fans. You know, bikers are road warriors and so are we, so it goes hand-in-hand." By the end of 2011, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real will have played approximately 250 shows. "We love being on the road," says Lukas. "We've been trying out new songs to put on our next record and they've been going over really well." Anthony agrees, "The fans are loving the new songs. Our diehards, who call themselves Realers, even know the words to the new ones now. The more we play, the more connected we are as a band. It definitely feels like it keeps getting better and better." The band's new record is tentatively scheduled for release in 2012.
Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real will be playing October 25th, 2011 at McCain Auditorium at 730pm. Tickets are available at the McCain auditorium box office The McCain box office is open from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and is located in the lobby of McCain Auditorium. McCain Performance Series tickets may also be purchased at the Little Theatre box office in the K-State Student Union Wednesday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters. The McCain box office is generally open 90 minutes before each performance in McCain Auditorium.
The total funding for these programs is less than 1 percent of the total city budget. Losing this funding would mean the end to much of the federal matching funds these programs get each year , and consequently, many of our citizens would be w/o the programs that provide necessary life saving needs. Call your City Commissioners! Come to the meeting this Tuesday at City Hall at 5:00pm and help save these vital programs.

The Beat
(Occupy MHK)
By: Aaron Abbott Photos By: Terry Szel
"What is it and why should I care?" The most common question about the Occupy movement sweeping the globe is "What is it?". Aside from being an interesting indication of the high regard with which Midwestern Americans hold the evening news, internets or reading the daily paper, this question also highlights two of the primary concerns of the movement: education and awareness. Occupy MHK is the local extension of this global movement.
People arrived with signs saying "We Are The 99%" and denouncing corporate greed and if they didn't come with signs, there were supplies to make them. A few people had signs supporting political candidates, but the organizers of the rally and the mission statement on the Facebook page make it clear that the Occupy movement is non-partisan and isn't endorsed, nor does it endorse any particular candidate or party.
Feeding off of the national Occupy Wall Street movement, over 150 people gathered in Manhattan's Triangle Park last Saturday for the Occupy MHK protest rally. Fed up with the lack of economic equality in the United States, citizens have been organizing rallies and other political actions all over the country since Occupy Wall Street began in New York City on September 17th.
Once the rally started the protesters lined Anderson Avenue so their signs could be seen, and they cheered when those passing by honked or yelled encouragement. There seemed to be an air of agreement and support from those who drove or walked by.
The rally, organized mostly through Facebook, began at 5:30pm, roughly the same time as the K-State football game. This overlap did not seem to hurt attendance at the rally, however. As one attendee could be
overheard saying, "I doubt any of these people would watch a football game, anyway." The organizers were surprised with the speed and size of the event's growth. "We started a Facebook page and it just kind of went from there, said Jeremy Smith, one of the events organizers. "Within 24 hours Scott Poister had gotten a permit to set up a protest in Triangle Park and within a couple of days we had several hundred members. I didn't expect it at all."
That's the interesting thing about Occupy MHK. The situations and conditions which led to the rally being necessary are unfair and depressing but there was an overwhelming aura of hope there. People seem to feel this is the beginning of something positive, something that will change the way America is run. Even though there isn't one "official" demand or message of the Occupy movement, the general consensus from talking to participants is that the crux of the demonstration hinges on opposing corporate greed and runaway capitalism. Some people blamed the banks for the current financial meltdown, some the government, others the corporations...and if you talked to any of them long enough they'd discuss the link among all of them, but usually they had one branch of the economic system to demonize first. The system needs to be fixed, enough people are realizing that and protesting now that it cannot be denied. "I am part of the 99 percent of Americans that are broke as s**t," said Simone Dorsey, a rally attendee. Dorsey said she was one of the people, "who are working their fingers to the bone for the one percent to live happily ever after." Usually, when one attends a protest such as this, the crowd is rather homogeneous, but that was not the case with Occupy MHK people of all different ages, races and social backgrounds attended the event and
4 - October 20, 2011 - www.thehypeweekly.com
showed support for the 99%. Organizer Scott Poister said that he was impressed by the number of people who showed up and that he had hope for the future of the Occupy movement, "There's several political movements that started with nothing more than a bunch of people standing in a park," Poister said. The group plans to expand their activities from protesting into community service, voter registration drives, and encouraging new individuals into the local political and service arena. Their next demonstration will include a food drive for local shelters and an exchange of information for those wishing to promote volunteerism in Manhattan and surrounding community.

The Hype
Little Apple Brewing Company By: Nikki Marcotte
Hogs and I rolled on up to the Little Apple Brewing Company on a beautiful fall evening last week. Needless to say, our stomachs were definitely excited…whose stomach wouldn't be? Despite the fact that construction has left much of Westloop in shambles, do not be fooled! LABCo may appear to be closed, but upon second glance, you will notice a little LED "open" sign flashing underneath a makeshift awning acting as the current temporary entrance into this delicious local haven. "I'm so so so happy it's open," I said to Hogs as we were walking inside. "I was scared for a minute that it might not be."
I'm sure Sarah was thinking, "Great, here we go again." But, I couldn't argue. He was right, although I would have never admitted that to him out loud. "Alright," I said, my eyes frantically scanning the menu looking for something new that might appease me. Success. "I'll have the Black and Bleu Burger. Fries. Ranch on the side." "Ohhh, great choice," Sarah tells me as she disappears back into the kitchen. After the seemingly endless wait – which wasn't even that long, we were just really hungry – our food finally arrived. And it smelled awesome. We dug in shamelessly. The giant half pound Angus burger was topped with bleu cheese and onions sautéed in balsamic vinegar and placed in between two homemade foccacia buns. Am I making you hungry yet? Because for me, just writing about it makes me long for another like you can't believe. The first bite was like a dramatic slow-motion cinematic moment. It took my mouth a bit to actually process all of the incredible flavors dancing around on my taste buds. But once it registered, I was lost for words and in the wake, I just kept stuffing my face. The steak fries and the beer, even though typically an afterthought, complimented this momentous burger. Talk about yum.
"Nah, they can't just make businesses shut down because of the construction," he reassured me. We walk in to that familiar steakhouse/brewhouse atmosphere and one member of the greet staff seats us. "Sarah will be with you in a moment." Sarah was the name of our server. As it turns out, she was also a very old friend of mine – we go way back to about 2nd grade softball, when we were bitter rivals. Her mom was one of my 6th grade teachers. Talk about a small world. After some witty back-and-forth, Hogs and I finally settle on a drink and appetizer choice. We go with the LABCo Oktoberfest, one of the microbrewery's own delicious medium-bodied seasonals – 'tis the season after all! But the appetizer wasn't as easy. "Can we get the nachos?" Hogs pleads. "Darling, we can get nachos anywhere. Let's do the hummus!" "Seriously? We get the hummus every time. Come on, let's do the nachos." Back and forth we go, where we stopped, nobody knows. Well, okay, that's not really true. I finally threw my hands up in defeat and went in a whole different direction. "I know. Let's try the Garlicky 'Shrooms!" Poor Sarah…having to deal with our indecisiveness. I'm sure it was a spectacle. She finally insisted that we settle on the Garlicky 'Shrooms and that we wouldn't regret it, though it was probably more out of an "oh-my-godget-me-away-from-this-table" feeling. But man, was she spot on. That delectable appetizer was gone within seconds of hitting our table. As the name of the dish indicates, you have to like garlic and you have to like mushrooms in order to fully appreciate it. Hot out of the sautéing pan, slathered in butter and garlic and some other green herb, and straight into our watering mouths. In the words of Robert Palmer, it was simply irresistible. Not to mention the fact that it went so well with our flavorful microbrews. Once we annihilated the 'shrooms, Sarah came back to the table to take our main course order. Hogs went with the timeless classic chicken fried steak. I, on the other hand, really wanted the Mediterranean Steak Salad. After all, it comes with hummus and steak and all things delicious. "Come on, Nikki, you get that thing every time. Get something different in the spirit of the food review," Hogs said.
Hogs, on the other hand, was not as enthusiastic about his "What's up?" I asked him. "I thought these were homemade?" Poor guy had a quizzical look on his face, like he no longer trusted what was on his plate. "I mean, don't get me wrong, it's really good. It just loses its magic for me."
I explained to him that I was pretty sure the chicken fried steak was no longer homemade there for whatever reason. A little disappointing, yes, but at least there were mashed potatoes and corn drowning in homemade white pepper gravy. Plus, that's just one dish out of how of many that are way better. We cleaned our plates rather quickly. Sarah came back to offer us dessert to go, but seriously, after all that we couldn't handle anymore. "I'll just take the check, dear," I tell her. We pay, we say our good-byes to Sarah, we run into another friend and chat with her a bit and we finally leave and ride off into the sunset. Romantic, eh? All in all, LABCo does not disappoint. Stick to the beef dishes and pair it with one of their microbrews and I promise you won't regret it.

The Hype
Halloween Adventures at Britt's Garden Acres by Samuel Sargent In theory, an overcast sky, chilly breeze, and a slow drizzle is the perfect weather for Halloween activities. In practice, nobody wants to freeze when they can just grab a pumpkin from Walmart and rush back to the warmth of their car. Nevertheless, it was with some reluctance that we set out toward Britt's Garden Acres in search of Halloween fun and adventure. Fortunately, despite teasing us with dark clouds and occasional bursts of precipitation, the weather cooperated and afforded us an enjoyable Saturday afternoon. Located on the western outskirts of Manhattan, Britt's is a short drive for a unique experience. During the spring and summer, they offer fresh fruits and vegetables at farmers' markets and produce stands around the area, but in the fall they transform into a festive experience for the whole family. If it's pumpkins you're looking for, the selection is impressive, with fruits of all shapes, sizes and colors: orange, white, bluish-grey, reddish-orange, and even beige. The selection includes tiny, decorative pumpkins and perfectly-sized jack-o-lanterns, as well as gourds so large you need both arms to wrestle them. Conveniently, they provide little, purple wagons, serving as shopping carts, to haul off their variety of pumpkins to suit every need. If pumpkins aren't your thing, they also offer potatoes, onions, zucchini, and apple cider, among other things to tempt your palette. After trundling our pumpkins into the car, it was time to head down to the "fun zone." For $7.50, you get to experience everything they have to offer, including picking a pumpkin fresh from the patch. You even get to choose which hand stamp you want as proof of admission: a pumpkin or a tractor! I opted for the pumpkin, due to bad memories caused by tractor-related injuries from my youth. My fiancée, Shay, was most interested in the hay ride, so that was our first stop. Despite growing up in Texas and spending summers in Canada, she somehow managed to completely avoid the countryside. She saw a live deer for the very first time on our first date. I, on the other hand, grew up in rural Missouri. Riding in a straw-lined trailer was how we got to school. Nonetheless, it was a relaxing ride -- around the corn maze, past the pumpkin patch, through the jalapeño pepper fields -- to grandmother's house we go. Next up was the easy corn maze, which wasn't so much a maze as a nice jaunt through the field, with an occasional potential diversion from the main path. It takes about five minutes to get through the easy maze if you take your time and stop for a few photographs. After safely avoiding the children of the corn, we crossed over to the main activities area. We skipped the petting zoo, filled with a plethora of barnyard animals,
but seriously contemplated whether the bouncy house was large enough to support my weight. I suspect it was, but chose not to test the theory so not to traumatize a little girl who was leaping about to her heart's content. I couldn't, however, pass up the potato cannon, a steam powered device that lived up to it's name, launching tubers across the sky like miniature rockets. There was a pumpkin serving as a target but each of my shots sailed well above it, easily traveling an extra 50 yards. I fear for any birds that may unwittingly fly into the path of the spud launcher. Also available were photo boards (the kind you stick your face in for funny pictures), a series of plastic tubes running through mounds of dirt for kids to climb through, and something that resembled a giant pumpkin which I suspect was a playhouse. Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater roleplay anyone? At this point, Shay is tiring, but I can't pass up the opportunity to get lost in the larger corn maze, thus turning this into a harrowing tale of survival that could garner book deals and movie options. Can James Franco really pass up the part of a man lost in a corn maze for weeks? So I kiss Shay goodbye, tell her I love her, and pose for one final photo before disappearing into the corn. After a couple of twists and turns, I come upon the first potential trap, three paths branching off in different directions. As I ponder my options, I discover the first rule of successful corn maze navigation: observe others. If there are three paths and someone comes out of one and immediately heads down another, follow them. They already know that the other two are part of one big loop. After that insight, things go smoothly, though it helps that the next few loops are smaller and a bit obvious. I don't encounter anyone else for quite some time and am feeling rather confident about my maze navigation skills (all those childhood Fun Pads finally paying off) when I come to another section with three branches and no obvious route. Simple enough, pick a path and forge on. Worst case scenario, I end up back where I started. What shakes my swagger, however, is a piece of blue cloth tied around a corn stalk. Had someone become so lost that they were forced to utilize survival techniques? Am I about to stumble upon the remains of a group of thrill seekers who have resorted to cannibalism in order to survive? After all, there was nobody keeping track of who entered or exited the maze. Someone could be lost in here for days and nobody would know. But just as I'm about to lose all hope, a low flying plane passes through the sky. Of course -- the airport is just down the road. I can always signal for help with the incredibly bright flashlight app on my Droid 3. If I unleash that sucker into the night sky, I'll draw attention from neighboring galaxies.
8 - October 20, 2011 - www.thehypeweekly.com
Speaking of my phone, I still have 3G service out in the field, so I could just call for help in the event of a cannibal attack. Out of curiosity, I pull up Google Maps, but the Street View team hasn't made it through the maze yet either. I try to get turn-by-turn directions, but the robot lady calls me a wuss. Through sheer luck, I manage to choose the right path and things proceed nicely, until I take a wrong turn and hit a dead end. At this point I figure out rule number two of professional corn maze navigation: fake it. When you encounter a dead end, pretend to be photographing an interesting ear of corn or loudly announce that you believe those were fox tracks you were following, thus convincing anyone who stumbles in behind you that you meant to come this way. You don't want to appear lost and scared when you encounter a stranger. Romances have blossomed in odder places than a corn labyrinth. After the dead end, I think I am almost free. I can tell I am close to the end by the proximity of the bouncy house, which I am just tall enough to see over the tops of the stalks. But no, it isn't that easy. I round a corner and discover myself in a large clearing, big enough to support a battle between zombie cannibals and pork ninjas. Could there be slow mutants lurking within the corn? Worse, there were half-adozen paths exiting the clearing. Is this the test through which I will finally become a man? Suddenly, a pair of teenage girls come screaming from one of the paths. I go for my knife, only to remember I don't carry a knife. Then I realize they were giggling, not screaming and any fear on their faces is probably due to having just witnessed a large man pull an invisible knife from his belt. They look about, a bit unsure of themselves, and head down the leftmost path. Abiding by a personal rule about never following the lead of a teenage girl, I go a different way entirely. Once again, my amazing instincts pay off. As I near the end of the very long final corridor, another rule of expert corn maze navigation occurs to me: always enhance the experience of others. No, this doesn't mean you should hide in the corn and scare other people when they pass by. After all, mace is cheaper than gasoline these days. But there's nothing wrong with, say, chucking an ear of corn near the location of other mazegoers, convincing them that a honey badger is about to leap for their throats. Yelps of terror are your reward for a job well done. So finally, I emerge from my hellish ordeal. Checking my watch, I see that it has taken me exactly 15 minutes, walking at a leisurely pace. As the sign at the entrance said the hard maze required 20 to 30 minutes to navigate, I accept this as final proof of my new found status as a corn maze master. After one final stop to pick up our pie-quality pumpkins, at which point the rain finally starts to fall in earnest, I head back to the car. Next adventure? Pumpkin pie from scratch. But first I need to go buy a knife. And can someone make sure James Franco gets my number? Britt's Garden Acres is located at 1400 S Scenic Drive, just north of Fort Riley Blvd. They're open weekends through October 30th. On the nights of the 22nd, 28th and 29th, the corn maze is converted into a "Scary Maze" which they recommend for ages 12 and up.

3 Asians & a Movie "Real Steel" Real Steel is a 2011 American science-fiction action film starring Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie and directed by Shawn Levy. The film is based on the 1956 short story "Steel" by Richard Matheson.
Sean says: In my opinion I thought that this would be another boring movie with Rock'em Sock'em Robots which was a popular two player game from the 60s but I will say that I was a bit surprised. Basically in 2020 humans have been replaced by robots in boxing. The plot revolves around Charlie Kenton who was a famous boxer. He is now a small time promoter that is down on his luck and uses his bots in underground boxing venues until he hits rock bottom when he gets his big break with a bot named 'Atom'. Atom is your typical underdog. Charlie teams up with his estranged son Max and together they try to train Atom while building on their relationship as father and son. It is a predictable storyline so don't expect a complex plot driven movie but it does deliver on excitement and fight sequences. It also adds an element of thought about human and robot relationships and what the future may present. So if you love Hugh Jackman and or Evangeline Lilly then this exciting movie is for you to see in the theaters. George says: I am happy to say that Real Steel did not disappoint, it was highly entertaining. With that being said, don't expect any surprises here, though it was refreshing to see Hugh Jackman play a character with few redeeming characteristics. The plot is understandably predictable, but the cinematography is good, and you don't really notice the CGI. I would say it is well worth seeing in the theaters.
Amy says: I wasn't really sure about this movie going in to it and even the first 30 minutes of it all I could think about was how predictable it was and how much of a dude movie it was. Predictability aside, Real Steel ended up proving me wrong. The family drama in the movie ended up being decently captivating as well as the love storyline. If my viewing of this movie wasn't on a date night with my boyfriend I probably would have never seen it in theaters and I don't recommend seeing it on the big screen unless you're looking for a good guy/girl compromise movie. However, I will say that Real Steel did leave me wondering...how long until this movie becomes a reality and machines actually do start replacing humans in various jobs and activities, practical or recreational? Or has it already started?
"A sharp intake of breath" @All Faiths By: Viola Valkyrie
Guest cellist Benjamin Cline opened a concert in All Faiths Chapel Sunday with Le Grand Tango, composed by Astor Piazzolla. He was accompanied by Irena Ravitskaya on piano. A sharp intake of breath, and the two slid into the song.
instrumental soloist often takes a deep breath the beat before and nods on the downbeat of the first measure to signal to his or her accompanist the beginning of a piece. With well-timed flourishes (i.e. lifting the bow in an arc off the strings at the end of particularly powerful phrases), Cline sounded the upper-body, while Ravitskaya pounded the low, driving notes of this sensual dance.
soprano Ivalah Allen joined the two onstage for Four Songs for Soprano, Cello, and Piano, composed by André Previn, who based the piece on poems by Toni Morrison. The movements were titled: Mercy, Stones, Shelter, and The Lacemaker. vibrato combined with high pitch is what makes opera off-putting and incomprehensible for many. Allen used wide vibrato, but she tempered this with massive dynamics (loudness and softness of volume), super-enunciating the ends of words, and pantomiming some of the actions she was singing. The effect was inviting and captivating.
a short intermission to set up amplifiers, Cline and Ravitskaya re-emerged onto the stage with Hilary Shepard, flutist. (The program said, "flutist." I thought the correct term was flautist. A quick google search supplies this answer from flute virtuoso, Sir James Galway: "I am a flute player, not a flautist. I don't have a flaut, and I've never flauted.") The entire back side of the program was filled with an explanation of the last song, Vox Balaenae (Voice of the Whale), written by its composer George Crumb. piece was fascinating to me because each instrument was played in nontraditional ways to effect prehistoric sounds. Shepard opened by singing into her flute, producing an eerie whale-song. The cello entered, playing only sliding harmonics, while Ravitskaya strummed the strings in the open grand piano. This bizarre trip into the land of the lost concluded with the shimmering sounds of antique cymbals played alternately by Shepard and Cline.

The Bump
Awesome Alert! Eric Stonestreet By: Jimbo Ivy Eric Stonestreet is a name I heard many times as a theatre major at Kansas State University. It was usually used by a professor as an example, an important one: People can be successful in the notoriously unforgiving theatre/film industry if they work hard and focus on their talents. Eric graduated from KSU in 1995, and by the time I came along in 2000, it was only during one of his return trips to Theatre Forum, a class that educates theatre majors on various topics, that I got to meet him. Now, many successful years later with an Emmy in hand for his role as Cameron of ABC's comedy Modern Family, he returned to Theatre Forum and KSU to inspire students and alumni alike with his spirit, humor, and story. After giving a brief autobiography, Stonestreet opened up for questions from the audience made up of theatre students, high school students, alumni, and those drawn to the event simply to see the man behind Cam. The questions offered up ranged from professional to personal, and Eric answered them with the same humor mixed with confident candor every time. When asked whether his success as an actor had a large element of luck involved, Stonestreet replied, "Luck is being in the right place at the right time, but you have to take that step, put yourself in that place." He connected this idea to the fact that as a Kansan, he had to move to Chicago and then Los Angeles to be in "the right place" for his career to advance. Another audience member asked his opinion, as a man playing a gay character, about the solution to the bullying of gay youth in schools, to which he replied, "Well, there's always going to be bullying." He went on to say that the best way to combat the bullying is to teach children that their difference, whatever it may be, is okay and allow them to not feel victimized by the smallness of others.
Tyler Gregory and the Bootleg Bandits Before the Black powder strikes By Aaron Abbott Imagine you're camping and its fall in Kansas. After pitching the tent, the brisk chill in the air requires you to throw on a worn-in, comfy hoodie. You pour yourself a glass of Laphroaig Scotch whisky, and take a large swig; perhaps, a little too large, causing a simultaneous shiver throughout your body. You're hit with the smokiness, the peatiness of the Scotch that says, "This is from the earth". A cold sweat and the increasing cold are subsided by the hoodie and growing fire you've kindled, as well as the Scotch in your stomach. Its 10-year-old Laphroaig; not the more expensive, overaged Laphroaig that's had all the character mellowed out of it. This is true whisky and you know it when you drink it. This satisfying moment is what life's all about. That's what it's like hearing Tyler Gregory's newest CD. Thirty-seven seconds into the first song, when his voice comes to soulful, almost growling life, I feel as though I'm sitting around a campfire, drinking Scotch. I feel as though this is what I should have been listening to my entire life, and as though it's where I'm supposed to be at that moment. The album Before The Black Powder Strikes is a mix of music that sounds one part
bluegrass, one part campfire sing-a-long, one part blues, one part chain-gang work song and one part moonshine. One can listen to the songs individually if one chooses, but I prefer to listen to it as a whole, straight through all nine tracks. It would be the perfect album to put on one's iPod for a hike, or on the car stereo for a road trip.
When one, very shy high school girl had difficulty asking a question, Stonestreet simply walked across the stage, up the stairs to the empty seat next to the girl, and sat down to listen. He also allowed anyone in the auditorium to hold and examine his Emmy, which he only had with him because after winning it, he gave it to his parents, who live in Kansas City. He also let the audience in on a little bit of info regarding an upcoming episode of Modern Family when a question was asked regarding Fizbo, Stonestreet's childhood clown name. One of his final thoughts to the audience was this: "You don't realize this now, and you won't, but [Manhattan] is a wonderful place. There's an energy here, that's hard to find." He advised the younger members of the audience to not worry so much about what they should do in life, but simply enjoy being young before focusing on a career path. Overall, Stonestreet came off as the confident and deserving recipient of good fortune due to hard work and a positive outlook on his profession. His words of encouragement to the audience in attaining their goals in life through positive, confident diligence to whatever their prospective craft happened to be was inspiring and heartfelt. I didn't once get the impression that I was interacting with a man seen by millions each week and possessing an Emmy. Not even when, silencing his cellphone, he said in an exaggerated manner, "Gotta shut this off; Hollywood might call." If ever I thought a man might deserve to get calls from Hollywood, Eric would definitely be one.

In fact, "travellin' music" would be as good a description as any for this magnificent mix of acoustic guitar, occasional mandolin and Gregory's amazingly diverse voice which you can tell has seen and felt things many of us can only imagine. Track 7, "Bullfrog Legs" is more upbeat than the tracks preceding it. I felt like I should either dance or eat (or eat, and then dance.) Either way, I suspect other listeners and I would have a hard time keeping still if this song was being played live. The song is recorded well, but it seems to lack the energy it probably has when being played live. I should point out that I heard Tyler Gregory perform live at The Hype Weekly release party back in September. At that time, I must admit, I was sorely ignorant of Tyler and his music. I was aware of his existence as a local artist, but I had never heard any of his music before that night. There was a lot going on at the time, so I wasn't paying as much attention to him as I did listening to his album later. I knew the music I was hearing was good but I was having conversations, reading articles, etc. That was a huge mistake on my part. Don't make the same mistake I've done; read this, and then go to the next Tyler Gregory performance you can find. I recommend buying this album if you're at all into blues, rock, soul, country, bluegrass or any other forms that inspired, or was inspired, by these genres. It's available at Sisters of Sound in Aggieville. The packaging, is all Tyler; 100% recycled, the insert and cover are hand-dyed, everything is hand stamped. With the contents, Gregory takes his hosts of influences and distills them into a smoky, delicious whisky, perfectly-aged and ideal for almost any situation. This album is not for special occasions, and should be listened to often; Tyler Gregory is every day whisky.

As an innovation manager I must defend the copyright. It is impossible to promote innovation if the society does not establish a correct way to protect creativity and prevent the unfair enrichment through other people's work. But we must understand well the creativity process in order to select the best option to do that.
It is well-known that when a song is selected to be performed in a movie, the author must be paid for it. The movie would be using the composer's creativity to produce an economic benefit although they have paid for the record. But this could make us to think about other things: Why does not the use of a Ferrari in the movie imply to compensate the designers for their creative action although they have paid the car? Probably, the vehicle was selected by its design, was not it?
This paradox can be understood if we analyze how the creation process is producing value. Songs belong to the same industry as movies, the entertainment industry, but cars proceed from a different one, the automotive industry. When an industry is been developed, the different agents agree the way that the value is incorporated to the final product and how the benefit must be distributed. Car Manufacturers are interested in their own business and do not seem interested in an additional retribution of the designers, and they consider it some kind of free advertisement that will increase the benefit of all agents.
Recent debate about copyrights in the digital world is a consequence of a new scenario, the merger of two different industries, telecommunication and entertainment. Telecommunication industry seems interested in its own business while entertainment industry is imposing their scheme of value distribution without understanding well how technology is adding value to their products (the benefit from this added value can belong to its new providers and it cannot belong to the old ones), and without perceiving that the old retribution scheme can be seen by the users less legitimate as they think. Users are paying to access internet with a large bandwidth and for the users, internet and its contents is the same thing. Users understand that if they have bought a car (computer) and are paying the fuel (internet) they must not to pay for the rent of the landscape along the road.
This is a good environment for agents with acquired benefits that do not correspond, as we have seen recently. Then, the fight against piracy can be done better analyzing a new retribution scheme instead of trying to put limits to the value for the user that technology can add to the entertainment products only because this new value is provided by technology and not by the creativity process of some artists or its industry. Innovation can provide higher benefits to all agents of the joint industry.

Deep Down
Water Deep
Water Deep, often referred to as the city of splendors, is a beautiful coastal city that is booming with economic success. It has markets all over that sell any kind of good one could desire, provided they can pay for it.
It follows a government called the Masked Lords. Masked Individuals who know one knows the true identity of they make all the decisions that concern how the city is to be run and what actions to take on its behalf.
Another large structure of influence within Water Deep is the Black Staff Tower, home to the Archmage Blackstaff. This tower houses all kinds of mages and primarily works as a academy for such people to develop their magical skill as well as more advanced individuals to research new forms of magic.

"The massive economic impact and multitude of jobs Delta has provided to Georgians have been critical to the state's prosperity.
The service started as a two-month agreement which was extended until 2004."Delta's success and Atlanta's success have been intertwined for 75 years," said Ed Bastian, Delta's President and incoming CEO."Key to this success has been the historic partnership between Delta, the city of Atlanta, the state of Georgia and our thousands of Atlanta-based employees and customers." Gov.Nathan Deal said Delta's economic impact on Georgia has been enormous."Georgia has a longstanding and highly successful partnership with Delta Air Lines that has helped both of us grow and flourish over the past 75 years," said Deal."Based on the generosity of our donors, we're constantly investing in our efforts to further enhance the experience for visitors." Before joining the museum, Boatright held roles of increasing responsibility during his 36-year career at Delta, including Vice President of Corporate Real Estate.
Boatright and his 19-member team's efforts are built on Delta's core values, including honesty, integrity and respect, he said.
This story was produced by Story Corps Custom Services, a division of Story Corps, whose mission is to preserve and share humanity's stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world.
Earlier this month, the readers of Travel Age West awarded Delta with two WAVE awards, Airline Providing the Best Travel Agent Support, and Best Airline — Domestic for the sixth consecutive yea r .
Since its reopening at the airline's headquarters in Atlanta, the museum has experienced increased attendance, events and fundraising, as well as an expansion of exhibits.
"The ongoing growth of the museum fosters our mission to celebrate the heritage of Delta, its people and our family of more than 40 airlines, along with the history of aviation and the future of flight," said Museum President John Boatright.

"I'm dispeptic like Tom Cruise" …and a rapper should have said it.
New York Post described it as the "worst idea for an import from the land Down Under since Vegemite"…
To watching this… NOTR says NO.
As an additional touch, i just figured out how to make polls…
for those feeling lost since Australia isn't even on this map…
it's somewhere around here >>>—————–>

Next time I roast a whole bag of brussels sprouts, someone please remind me not to eat the entire bag across two meals. You can, in fact, have too much of a good thing!
As you can see, I had quite a few brussels sprouts at lunch yesterday.
I ate all of those with a Trader Joe's veggie burger crumbled on top and with ketchup squirted all across it.
Well, I lied a little. I actually got so sick of the brussels sprouts by the end that five of those went uneaten.
Poor little brussels sprouts. They looked so sad and lonely in the trash.
Whether because I ate too many of those or for some other reason, my tummy hurt for the rest of the day. I'm not sure if the apple I had after lunch or my afternoon snack helped or hurt matters.
I finally got to try one of the new Larabars. The one I got to try?
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip! (Does anybody else sing that to the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" song?)
I haven't decided yet how I feel about it. At first, I thought I was disappointed, but then I realized almost all the way through the bar that it had grown on me.
Sneaky little sucker.
Larabars can do that to you. Still, I'm not sure this tiny bar is worth the 230 calories it packs.
You know what I mean?
Anyway, the tummy ache only got worse throughout the day and I scrapped my dinner plans for roasted veggies (which I still made for lunches but didn't eat last night). Instead, I just ended up making some eggs and toast.
Totally boring, but it was all I could really consider stomaching at the time.
Thank goodness I'm feeling better today!

Hey Dyana, that's because she is!!! I will try not to be offended when I remember that I graduated from college and got married before Theresa left high school. (Plus it doesn't hurt that Theresa is one of the most genetically beautiful people I know)! It was a great night. It was bittersweet. Such a good time, but it made me realize how much I miss you all!

Watching the video of Sam Taylor Woods Still Life I find it is a compelling and somehow shocking film. The time lapse video shows in just a few minutes the process of decay which in real time would take weeks. The simple setting of fruit on a woven platter with no particularly special lighting or background makes it more accessible as it could be a bowl of fruit on the table in your own home. On the table with the fruit Is a pen. The contrast with the fruit rotting and the plastic pen remaining also gives a sense of time related to specific objects. The lack of sound during the clip is unnerving and keeps attention focussed on the images.
In a similar film entitled A Little Death, she shows a decomposing rabbit which is also quite shocking. In another less shocking but also unusual work , David, commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery in London, the film shows David Beckham asleep. This theme continues with the sense of time passing but during sleep we are not conscious of the changes taking place within the body and outside of it.
Sam Taylor-Woods seems to be influenced by her sense of the transience of life. Her own history with two episodes of cancer may well have encouraged a curiosity about the impermanence of life.
Another artist working in this way is Tony Partington with Lapse of Memory. This film shows time passing, mostly using clouds and shadows whilst prehistoric standing stones remain.

We have just come back from my oldest son's wedding at June Lake. Believe it or not it was my first trip to that area of the state and I was amazed at what our Creator has made for us! What I was most surprised about was the lack of believers amongst the local population and those who frequent the area. The beauty and wonder were so overwhelming to me that I could not see how anyone could believe that something that wonderful could occur by accident. However, I am aware of the frightful winters that occur, and I can understand how anyone surviving such an ordeal year after year could become hardened to the possibility of a Creator. I can understand it , but I cannot accept it.
I have learned that there are three main types of people in the world: The first group can see no place for a Creator in science. The second group can see no place for science in a Creator. The third group, like us here at Cepher, see the perfection in God as the Creator of science.
Though I had an aching in my heart to speak to these people whom I had gotten to know and appreciate greatly, I felt the strong pull of the Blessed Holy Spirit telling me to keep from inviting them to know our Messiah (it would not be their first invitation). This may seem strange to many of you, but I have learned that there is a time to speak and a time not to speak. This time was clearly a time for these people who had a complete understanding of my beliefs from the discussions they have had with my son, to meet someone who loves God more than life, and who does not try to convert them as if they are people that needed something in their life that would improve it beyond belief.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is not a single person on this earth who does not need God and they will each have their opportunity to choose. Now I will spend the rest of my time praying for those whom I met in June Lake this last week-end, that when they get their opportunity they will make the right choice.

List of currently good/liberating things:
1) I have no job.
2) I have no boyfriend.
3) I have no phone.
4) I have no laptop.
5) I have (considering the length of my trip) very little money.
What I do have, however, are sweet connections, a camera, cake recipes and a swiss army knife.
This makes for a very, very interesting time.
Today was my last full day in the United States of America until July. Excellent! Yet more skiing and sunshine and learning Turkish. No pictures today, but ohh, just wait. My bag is packed. I leave for Istanbul tomorrow. I have no idea when I will next have internet access and time to update, but until then, adios, amigos. Vi snakkes.

Prime Minister Urges Training of Traditional Wisemen – Thursday, 23.7.2009
The Mirror, Vol. 13, No. 622
We would like to mirror an article originally written and published in Khmer in Deum Ampil – but two pages in English were also included there, which we mirror here. Even though the arrangement of the paragraphs of this article in Khmer and in English is a bit different, both articles still keep the same content. Below is the original English version of the article from Deum Ampil:
"Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday urged both the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts and the Ministry of Cults and Religion to train traditional Khmer wisemen. These respected and revered semi-mystic figures are experts in Khmer culture and folklore, and are an integral part of the many religious ceremonies that form much of the practice of Khmer Buddhism.
"This is not the first time the premier has asked authorities to train Wisemen, known in Khmer as Ajar [ អាចារ្យ ]. He also raised the topic recently during a speech in Kandal province.
"'The wiseman tradition is in deep crisis in our country so that training Wisemen should be arranged by having teachers,' Hun Sen said at the close of the National Forum of the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts at Chaktomuk Hall.
"'This is not an insignificant issue we have to think about because in the future the number of wisemen in our country will decrease,' the premier added. 'Some say that Hun Sen thinks about small thinks like this wiseman crisis, but it is a big story so we all must rethink.'
"The premier urged both ministries to arrange programs of training wisemen.
"'In one year, if we have 5,000 weddings, we also need 5,000 wisemen, so our need for these people is very crucial,' the PM stated. Criticizing the influx of foreign influences into traditional Khmer ceremonies, the premier remarked that 'the cake cutting ceremony held at wedding parties is not our traditional manner, it is foreign culture and manners.'
"At the same time, the premier urged Cambodian artists, especially writers, to hone their craft and to try to use more locally relevant themes. 'If they are able to do so, copying foreign stories should not be allowed – like two stories shown on Bayon Television which were not Cambodian themes, they were foreign themes.'
"During his speech, the PM also called on the Ministry of Information and affiliated media agencies to better promote Cambodian culture. By Sorn Sopheak" Deum Ampil, Vol.3, #243, 23.7.2009

Autor(es): Faria, Angélica Rosa; Pires, Simone da Fonseca; Reis, Alexandre Barbosa; Vital, Wendel Coura; Silveira, Júlia Angélica Gonçalves da; Sousa, Gabriela Matos de; Bueno, Melissa Luíza Couto; Gazzinelli, Ricardo Tostes; Andrade, Hélida Monteiro de Resumo: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a neglected tropical disease with dogs serving as reservoirs for one of its etiological agents, Leishmania infantum. In Brazil, VL control involves culling of seropositive dogs, among other actions. However, the most employed serological tests lack accuracy, and are not able to detect canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) during the early stages of infection. Early detection of CVL is highly desirable in order to shorten the contact time between the infected reservoirs and the vectors. In this study, we investigated the ability of two multiepitope proteins, PQ10 and PQ20, to detect CVL at earlier stages than currently employed methods, including ITS-1 conventional PCR. Using serum samples from naturally infected dogs, we observed that ELISAPQ10 and ELISA-PQ20 were able to detect Leishmania infection at earlier time points as compared with kDNA PCR-RFLP in anti-IgG and anti-IgM assays. Using sera from experimentally infected dogs, we monitored seroconversion using multiepitope proteins, ELISA-crude antigen, as well as ITS-1 conventional and real-time PCR. While seroconversion was detected by ELISA-crude antigen in 16.6% of the dogs, multiepitope proteins were able to detect seroconversion in more than 80% of them. Moreover, the ability of ELISA-PQ10 and ELISA-PQ20 to detect Leishmania infection at earlier time points as compared with conventional PCR was also confirmed in experimental infection dogs' sera. Immunofluorescence to Babesia canis and Ehrlichia canis did not show crossreactions with ELISA-PQ10/PQ20 positive samples. Results of real-time PCR and ELISA with multiepitope proteins were very similar, with concordances between 80 and 100%. Furthermore, our findings indicated that PQ10 and PQ20 immunoassays can be related to parasite load. ELISA-PQ10 and ELISA-PQ20 are more sensitive diagnostic tools for early CVL detection as compared with other methods They could potentially be used in screening tests due to easy execution and low costs facilities. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z Spatial and temporal trends of visceral leishmaniasis by mesoregion in a southeastern state of Brazil, 2002-2013. http://www.repositorio.ufop.br/handle/123456789/9866 Título: Spatial and temporal trends of visceral leishmaniasis by mesoregion in a southeastern state of Brazil, 2002-2013.

This study is both timely and substantive because Minas Gerais is an important Brazilian state in the number of cases of visceral leishmaniasis. The results showed that during the 12-year time series the VL had a heterogeneous spatial and temporal distribution in the state of Minas Gerais. Among the 12 existing mesoregions, six (Central Mineira, Jequitinhonha, Metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte, Northwest of Minas, North of Minas, and Vale do Rio Doce) were responsible for the expansion and maintenance of VL in the state. Among them, the Vale do Rio Doce and Jequitinhonha mesoregions presented a considerable increase in the incidence rates of the disease in the last period. In the other six mesoregions only sporadic cases of the disease were reported during the study period. The results of in this study may contribute to a better understanding the dynamic of the disease in Minas Gerais. Also these findings can provide subsidies to assist the actions of the control program of VL. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z Response to the assessment of the Matos & Carvalho index by Hoffmann and Urrechaga. http://www.repositorio.ufop.br/handle/123456789/9865 Título: Response to the assessment of the Matos & Carvalho index by Hoffmann and Urrechaga.

George Chauncey's Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940 uses archival and oral sources to debunk three myths about gay male culture in turn-of-the-century New York: the myth of isolation, the myth of invisibility, and the myth of internalization. In doing so, he shows that a well-developed gay culture existed in New York long before Stonewall. Further, by reconstructing the spaces, symbols, events and people that made up gay male culture from the turn of the century to WWII, he both establishes the social construction of a gay male identity and argues against any cultural analysis that posits linear progress or a liberation politics as a key component of this identity.
Chauncey studies the development of gay culture in four New York neighborhoods: the Bowery, Greenwich Village, Harlem, and Times Square, and tries to pinpoint the moments when a gay presence became visible in each. He bases his argument on a huge quantity of primary materials, including police and trial records, diaries, documents from the District Attorney's office and the city magistrate, records of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, the Committee of Fourteen, and anti-prostitution organizations, and old gossip sheets like the Broadway Brevities. And the worlds that he meticulously reconstructs from this mountain of empirical data reveal several unique cultural patterns: gay rituals and institutions that foster a collective identity, gay migration patterns that parallel ethnic migration patterns, a kind of semiotic ingenuity that allowed many men to lead double lives, and a consistent definition of homosexuality as the passive acceptance of penetration rather than as a desire for someone of the same sex. This behavior-based definition allowed working-class and middle-class men in modernizing New York to treat "fairies" in the same way that they would female prostitutes, while the myriad spaces of New York's permissive sexual underworld (including the rooms at the YMCA) allowed for a flowering of gay sexualities and sexual expression, especially during Prohibition. By the 1930s, pansy culture provided opportunities for voyeuristic escape from middle-class life, even as gay culture was increasingly seen as a threat to the post-Prohibition moral order.
Throughout, Gay New York builds an interpretation of culture from empirical evidence about particular spaces, performances, people, and objects in New York. Chauncey thus locates gay male culture in both a particular time and place and a particular social, economic, and cultural milieu: a modern New York grappling with the social upheaval of industrial capitalism.

CRUD User Interfaces around entities Anti-Pattern
I am by no means an UI Design expert, but I am just blogging my current thoughts on the topic. Also this is my personal opinion (based on the limited experience I have) and I might change my opinion with time as I get to see better frameworks.
There is this school of thought "automagically generating user interfaces based on a model" (either the Domain Model or the Data Model). The most prominent examples which I had seen include
- A Business Application Platform which supports building a domain model on the fly and provides UI Design capabilities (e.g. Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Sharepoint). The UI is modeled as a projection of the business domain. You get Forms to Create and Update domain entities, Lists to View and Delete domain entities.
- A Framework which supports UI scaffolding. This may not be as bad as the previous one, since there may not be a notion of permanence here. I see this as an anti-pattern even in the prototyping stage as it might limit/bias the UI Designer's / Developer's ideas. Examples include Ruby on Rails Scaffolding, Subsonic Scaffold control, ASP.NET Dynamic Data. I know very well that these are good frameworks and do not recommend anyone to use the generated UI in production applications. Also, I am talking only about the automagically generated UI.
A custom application where you do not have an UI Designer and the developer decides to structure the UI design around the domain model / data model. The UI will provide forms to Create and Update, Grids to View and Delete domain entities.
This CRUD of entities based UI Design can be considered a leaky abstraction where the domain model (or worse data model) has leaked into the UI. The Worst part is that the end users of the system are forced to wriggle around their daily tasks using the provided User Interface. So if we do not structure our UI as CRUD of entities what should we structure them around?
User Interfaces should be designed around the tasks which the Users perform day to day. For example a task might include displaying / editing information from multiple entities. The same data can be visualized differently in a way it is the most intuitive to the users. So if you are thinking of building a Framework to automatically generate CRUD User Interfaces around entities understand the limitations it will impose on the end users of the system.

I had heard about workboxes for a few years, and I tried a folder system that mimics the workboxes because I didn't have the money to buy 1 box per subject per kid. It didn't last. I kept forgetting to put worksheets and stuff in the folders and if the subject didn't have a worksheet, but instead they had to read...they wouldn't do it.
So, I finally
had a meltdown told my husband that I NEEDED something that worked for us. I had been struggling for years and now that I have a 5 and 3 yo and they are begging to do school with the older kids and my oldest will be starting highs school soon, I needed the organization. So here it is!!
Each kid has 8 bins that are numbered and color coded. I added the subject labels on them for my info so I don't mess up which bucket I put what in. Depending on the child, buckets # 7 and #8 are not labeled because they are "floating subjects" or fun bins. Floating subjects means that the subjects that go in them rotate between electives. So one week might be art, the next week music, the next cooking, etc.
I put everything that the kids will need for the week in the buckets. That means, living books, worksheets, textbook, whatever is needed. I even put the teachers manuals for their math in their bins so that if they have a question they can refer to the lesson in the manual.
I used my silhouette to cut out the circles and colored flower design. I wrote the numbers on them and laminated them. I put the round velcro dots on them and the buckets. The numbers stay on the left until they are done with the subject, then they move the number to the right side of the bucket. That way with a quick glance I can see who has done what.
These are my kids weekly school charts. I modified the weekly schedule I have been using for years and laminated the charts so I could use wet erase markers on them and plan a whole week at a time.
Each card has the subjects listed and I just write the assignment they have. They like having everything split up into days and they know what to do without feeling overwhelmed with a weekly list. I know, I know, this is a weekly list because it has Monday through Friday, but they like having each day on an individual sheet. They don't do every subject everyday, and some kids don't even have all the subjects, I just made a master and photocopied it for all of the older kids.
I keep our manipulatives in the buckets on the shelf so we can grab them when we need them. Easy access for the kids and they know where to put them when they are done.
So there you have it! This is helping my kids become more independent and need me less and less which is AWESOME! I mean, I love helping my kids, but when each one individualy wants me to sit next to them and tell them Every. Single. Step. That is not ok with me. I have other kids to take care of and meals to prepare and my chores that need done. This is the FIRST time I actually think my kids feel responsible for their own work and I can see that they feel more accomplished because they are doing it themselves. My only regret is that I didn't start this YEARS ago. Thoughts or comments?! Let me know!
