No one expects G-8's Africa initiative to work
In a very real sense, the G-8 summit and the whole Save Africa campaign has failed before it has happened. Not in the sense that nothing will be achieved. On that score, Bob Geldof and the campaigners have achieved their purpose. The ante has been upped and the Western leaders have placed their own prestige on the line to the point that it cannot afford to fail. There will still be plenty of cries of "not enough," failed objectives, over-vague commitments. But in sheer terms of debt forgiven and increased aid, the G-8 summit will mark substantial progress.
No, its failure is much more general than that, and much more worrying.
It is that the majority of the public -- most of the private donors -- no longer believe that their efforts will achieve very much, let alone provide the one great push that will take the African continent out of poverty into self-sustaining growth for the long-term future.
This year's concentration on Africa -- the Africa Commission, Live8, the effort to wipe out debt for the most impoverished -- seeks to get the public behind the theme of "one great heave and we can solve Africa's problems." We owe the continent a once-in-a-lifetime effort out of compassion and duty. And we could really do it this time.
I doubt that many people believe this any more. I doubt that there are even that many people who really believe that the G-8 generosity, however much it may amount to, will do that much good. Instead of a surge of gathering hope, there seems instead to be a mood of sad resignation that, with the best of intentions, we are largely wasting our money. As the debate has gathered pace in the past few months, the strongest voices have appeared to be those, from the aid agencies and within Africa as much as in the think tanks of Washington, who have warned of the wastefulness of aid.
Indeed, one of the most extraordinary and perhaps most significant features of the Africa debate has been the way it has brought together, for quite different reasons, the ideological opposites of those who believe aid is wasted on economic grounds and those Africans who reject what they regard as the patronizing and ill-directed manner in which the white West is offering it. Both say that financial help is not the answer. Better governance within Africa is.
As if to prove their point, this year has seen both the massacres and dispossession in Darfur and the more recent slum clearances -- "drive out the rubbish" as Robert Mugabe has so delicately named it -- in Zimbabwe.
Nothing could be so calculated to disabuse the world of any enthusiasm for state aid to Africa than the sight of these brutalities or the evident inability of the rest of Africa or the West to do anything about them.
At the same time, the confidence in aid has been undermined by the six-month anniversary reports on the tsunami. There have been few disasters that have so aroused the instinctive and instant compassion of the world than the tsunami that struck south Asia last Boxing Day. Nobody would deny the aid has helped. But the bureaucratic delays and the slowness of response by the countries concerned has led many ordinary donors to feel uneasy about the effectiveness of their largesse (often considerable in individual terms). If the same happened again today, I'm not at all certain that it would produce anything like the same scale or response.
Bob Geldof, Tony Blair and the religious leaders who have committed themselves to Africa aren't to blame. But they have hardly helped. By wrapping the whole G-8 debate into a single great gesture of assistance and making it into so much their own campaigns, they have clothed the issue in a kind of generalized, state-organized and politically directed campaign that makes donors most uncomfortable. Personal compassion -- specific aid -- would seem to have no part in grand schemes.
It would be a tragedy if we are seeing a retreat from aid. Personal compassion remains the single noblest act of individuals. Whatever the inefficiencies, or even corruption, it cannot be wrong for the rich to give to the poor, or the developed economies to help the less developed -- abroad any more than at home. The poverty, the disease, the famine and the dispossessed deserve our compassion whatever the causes.
But the G-8 summit may prove most important less for what it does than for what it stops trying to do. The grand approach is the wrong approach; it raises expectations it cannot fulfill, sets up a numbers bidding game that has no meaning on the ground and takes aid and assistance out of the realms of the practical into the world of bankers, bureaucrats and politicians.
If people are to have their confidence in giving restored, and they badly need to at this point, the African question needs to be disaggregated to its individual components: to the provision of available vaccines to prevent malaria and TB and control Aids, to the negotiation of fair trading terms and the provision of technology to help agriculture and industry and, above all perhaps, to the application of political solutions to the man-made disasters destroying particular countries.
Find some solution to Darfur, to the Congo, Guinea and Liberia and to Zimbabwe, and we will do far more good than all the debt relief and increased aid that the G-8 will ever provide.

I studied Art, English Literature, History and Geography at the Southern Consortium.
I felt more comfortable studying in the same place for an extra two years. I knew the people, and I had no doubt that I'd receive support from staff and friends. I will always miss Sixth Form; I really believe it was the best two years of my academic life (so far).
I learned to keep my mind open, and become more proactive in my life. I received an excellent amount of support from staff who helped me with applications, interviews and exam stress.
I am currently studying Geography (BA) at Queen Mary College. University of London.
I studied A Level Maths, Economics and Business Studies.
I achieved a grade A in Economics, B in Business Studies and a C in Mathematics – which earned me a place with Ernst and Young on the School Leavers' Scheme to start work with one of the best accountancy companies worldwide.
I will be undergoing professional training to eventually qualify as a Chartered Accountant.
I would have not been able to achieve the grades I did without the support of my amazing teachers.
The Southern Consortium is a challenging but brilliant experience and you will receive the utmost dedication from teachers to help you.
I studied History, Geography and Business Studies into A2 and Maths at AS Level.
At the Consortium, the teachers have already taught you. This is priceless – they know you best, they have watched you develop and understand you. For me and my parents this was the key to why I chose the Southern Consortium Sixth Form.
Thanks to the A Level teachers' effort and persistence with me I am now at Queen Mary College, University of London (a Russell Group University), studying Physical Geography.
I currently live at home whilst studying. University offers something very unique: it brings people from many different social backgrounds and cultures together; it allows you to grow as a person and make new friends from all corners of the world.
I completed the BTEC Sports Science course and A Level Dance. After two years of hard work and a dedication to each subject, I achieved D*D*D* for my Sports course and a C in Dance.
I am now going to The University of Brighton to study Physical Education for 3 years. I will then go on to do a PGCE for an extra year so I can become a teacher.
Over the two years I spent at the Southern Consortium I thoroughly enjoyed the Sixth Form, as it is a happy environment to be in and I knew there were teachers who I could ask for advice.
Southern Consortium is a good choice – welcoming, happy and a place where I enjoyed going to study.
I studied A Level Maths, Further Maths and Economics and achieved grades A, C and C. I would say that my time in the Sixth Form has been one of the best school life experiences ever.
The Southern Consortium was my choice of place to study because I felt I would be content where I previously attended secondary school.
It seems I was right as I was more comfortable within my surroundings and with all the teachers that I worked with. You always knew that all your teachers worked hard to make sure you achieved your absolute best!
Currently I am studying Mathematics at Queen Mary College, University of London.
I studied Maths, Further Maths and Economics and achieved A* in Maths, A in Further Maths and a B in Economics.
My experience at the Southern Consortium has been amazing. Sixth Form was like one big family to me.
I chose the Southern Consortium Sixth Form because I went to school at Eastbury so I thought it would be easier if I stayed on.
I'm currently at Queen Mary College, University of London, studying Economics, Statistics and Maths.
I got a B in English Literature, B in Art and Design & C in Psychology.
I had a great Sixth Form experience at The Southern Consortium. Students are friendly and you get along with everyone; it's a community.
More than anything, the staff are so helpful and genuinely cared about every student – not only helping them with academic but non-academic things too! I felt like I was not a number but an individual who mattered.
One of the reasons why I chose the Southern Consortium was because of the variety of subjects available for me to study. I am currently in my first year at Brunel University studying English.

When I mentioned that I was doing a story on faux wood floors during a recent meeting, a colleague cringed. For her and many others, "faux wood" brings to mind cheap laminated paneling and flooring.
But that's changing with a new crop of porcelain tile that looks so much like hardwood, you have to get down on your hands and knees to tell the difference.
It's striated and textured like hardwood, has imprinted knots and comes in finishes ranging from reclaimed and barn wood to smooth-as-silk maples and pecans that look like they've just been sanded and polyurethaned. The tile has exploded in popularity during the past year or so. And dozens of manufacturers — including Marazzi, Emser, Mono Serra, Cabot, Daltile, Salerno and Kaska — are making it.
Scott Finley, a sales associate at Big Bob's Outlet in Overland Park, recalls that about 18 to 24 months ago, shoppers started asking for wood grain tile.
"That alerted us to the desire in the marketplace, and when a desire for something hits a threshold where we're confident it will sell, we'll go and look for it," Finley says. "Recently, we got two kinds in: one with a mahogany finish and one in black walnut. We sold out of the mahogany very quickly."
Tim Perdieu, co-owner of Tile & Stone Warehouse in Merriam, estimates that sales of it in his store are six times what they were three years ago, when he began to stock it.
"I would say it's 25 percent of our total floor-tile sales right now," Perdieu says. "That's why it has a whole row to itself. We now have 22 different styles."
Wood grain tile provides the same warm look as hardwood floors, with special benefits. To start with, it's waterproof.
"It's Kansas City, and when you buy a home, there's one thing guaranteed to leak: the basement," Finley says. "So more often than not, they're putting it in the basement. But they put it throughout their home. And since it is porcelain, and porcelain is recommended for outside because it withstands the freeze-thaw cycle, they put it on their patios. I thought that was brilliant."
Such versatility means it can be installed throughout an entire home, including in bathrooms, the kitchen and the laundry room. Continuous flooring throughout a home makes for a cleaner, more streamlined look.
Perdieu says he recently sold 5,000 square feet of wood grain tile to a local homebuilder to use in one home.
Wood grain tile is also scratch-resistant. And it can be used on walls, ceilings, the tops of bars, the sides of built-in bathtubs and as fireplace surrounds, where wood would be a fire hazard.
Kathleen Ramsey of Ramsey Interiors in Lenexa designed a wine cellar for a local client using the wood grain tiles combined with travertine marble on the floor.
"It's hard to do that with real wood because it expands and contracts," she says. "It's a great alternative for where real wood is not an option. And it comes in a lot of different colors to mix and match in herringbone patterns."
Another bonus: It works well with radiant heating.
Janine Terstriep, interior designer and owner of the Decorative Touch in Lenexa, had it installed beneath the wood grain tile floors in the bathroom of Amy Lockton's Leawood home.
"It comes on at 5 in the morning and again in the evening," Lockton said. "I haven't even put any rugs in front of my sinks because it's so warm. And it doesn't show dirt."
Prices for wood grain tile run between $1.59 a square foot for Cabot's Sonoma Series to $21.69 for Takla Italian's Long Plank Series. Most are between about $4 and $7, making them comparable to prices of hardwood floors.
"But installation prices can be different," Terstriep says. "If you're doing a wood floor that has to be stained and finished on the job site, the labor can be a little more."
"There are different qualities," Ramsey adds. "But if you do narrow grout lines, it really looks good. Narrow grout lines are important to making it look real."

3 Makeup Looks Inspired by My Favorite Albums of 2016
Since I'm a visual person I hardly ever remember the album title but I just remember what the album art looks like.
When beauty brands started reintroducing gloss into their lip ranges about a year ago, everyone was like, "Oh that's nice." *buys liquid lipstick instead.*
Matte lips are where it's at these days. But they keep trying to make lip gloss happen, promising modern finishes and wear. Guys, it's lip gloss — it does one thing. Something about lip gloss always read as corny or too sticky and "a bit much" to me. I've been happy to leave it in the past when I had a dozen rollerball glosses from Claire's in my high school locker.
Lip gloss conjures up images of early-2000s pop and R&B singers, which consequently has me thinking of super-low-rider jeans, navel piercings and extremely flat-ironed hair. Lip gloss was a lifestyle staple of the young and fabulous, a demarkation of "not quite womanhood" but still youthfully sexy, which is weird and confusing.
But now, it's like lip gloss showed up to the 10-year high school reunion and she got hot, and everyone's like, "Dammmmnnnn, lip gloss, you grew UP!"
You'll now find lip gloss being marketed as lip "vinyl," "lacquer," "shine," "varnish" or basically any other synonym for gloss to make it sound edgy and cool. But I'm on to you, lip gloss!
The cool thing about these newfangled post-Ambush-Makeover lip glosses is that they've really come into their own in the pigment department. These modern ones offer loads of pigment, rather than leaving a wimpy layer of clear goo on your mouth. Ultimately, I thought, "OK, OK, I will give you a second chance, lip gloss, but if you pull my hair or drip down the side of my mouth like drool, you are so out of here."
Here are a few cool things about that new-new lip gloss.
They make finding the right nude color so much simpler.
I don't know if it's just because I'm olive/warm-toned or whatever, but finding a nude lipstick is HARD. There are so few that compliment my skin tone and don't make me look ill, but with lip gloss, since there's a bit of sheerness and light-manipulation to the finish, the likelihood of smearing one on and looking like I just ate flesh-colored paste is nil.
Also, mixing glosses is way easier, thus you can custom make your own "nude." Hurray!
I laid down bareMinerals Buttercream Lip Gloss in Tantalize (from their indulgent new launch of all nude lip colors, the GEN NUDE line) and then topped with MAC Lipglass in Dej Loaf for a glittery high-budget-porn effect.
Lip glosses make for A+ stains and gradient lips.
These Tom Ford Patent Finish Lip Colors found their way to me unsolicitedly and DAMN do they mean business. This clicky-pen gloss is like a shiny concentrated pigment. It has a doe-foot applicator that the gloss oozes from so it's easy to dab placement wherever you want it, and it's thick enough that it doesn't travel — which is how I made this incredibly easy gradient lip look.
Plus, this gloss makes for a perfect stain, so you can go light and sheer or totally opaque. Obviously $52 for a lip gloss is MONEY, but you get what you pay for.
Be the reddest lip in the room with GLOSS.
It's one thing to show up someplace and someone is wearing the same outfit as you, but to have everyone also wearing a red lip to said event is (to me) leagues worse. I can joke about wearing the same dress or shirt with a stranger, but if everyone has the same makeup, it somehow infers a much more sinister just-another-brick-in-the-wall feel to me and that makes me depressed. Maybe I'm overthinking it.
But hey, either way, if you want your makeup to stand out because maybe you're going to a very plain, stuffy, formal event, let me tell you, red lip gloss is the best kind of "Who's that girl?" move to pull. It is, according to some cool moms, the right amount of tacky.
A red-on-red ombre throws some added dimension into an already pretty multi-dimensional look. The only thing that could top it is red glitter. And if I had some, it would be on my lips, but I don't, so you have to settle for this ombre.
Ombre is way easy to do with lip gloss, by the way. You just smear one color on the center of your lips, smush together, and then line with the other color and pat your lips together until they blend. Dunzo.
Goth looks fresher in gloss.
Black lipstick is kind of like old '90s "Don't do drugs, drugs are bad!" PSAs aimed at young kids and teens; your take-away is "I'd never do that!" and then you grow up and probably try some drugs recreationally and depending on the drugs you think, "I like this" and it's not the worst thing in the world.
Everyone square is all, "Black lipstick is gross and no one should wear it and why does it even exist?" so it only comes out on Halloween or on true goths; but personally, I think black lipstick is incredibly chic. It is, however, a high-maintenance lip look. You constantly have to be checking that it isn't smudged, on your teeth, or bleeding over your lips — something about black lipstick pigment is extra-troublesome.
But gloss! Gloss is much easier to slap on — even black lip gloss, like Manic Panic Cross Gloss in Raven.
Side note: this Maybelline Spider Effect mascara doesn't not fuck around. The brush is perfectly engineered to give you the most classically hideous lashes ever, and I love it. Swipe on bottom, swipe on top and then (like I did here) tap the brush on your eyelid to stamp mascara into a winged shape for a finely tuned messy eye look.

In the early hours of the morning of September 22, 2012, the Senate concluded its final votes until after the November 6th elections, joining the House of Representatives in recess. During the Senate's midnight session, the continuing resolution (CR) that will maintain federal funding through March 27, 2012, was passed by a 62 to 30 vote.[1] The House had passed the same measure by an overwhelming majority the previous week.[2] The president signed the funding measure on September 28, 2012.
While many of the twelve FY 2013 appropriations bills providing for federal funding October 1, 2012—September 30, 2013 advanced through Senate and House Appropriations Committees, and several passed out of the House, none passed out of the full Senate. Passage of the negotiated CR in lieu of package of appropriations bills (omnibus appropriations), which funds federal programs at a 0.612% increase of FY 2012 funding levels, prevents a possible government shutdown and allows Members of Congress to return home to campaign.
While discretionary programs, such as the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative (TPPI) and the Division of Adolescent School Health (DASH), receive the nominal 0.612% increase over last year's funding for the first six months of FY 2013, the CR requires agencies to spend conservatively as the funding for the remainder of the fiscal year is still unknown. Negotiations on the final funding for FY 2013 will begin again next year in February and March, around the same time the administration will be releasing the budget for FY 2014.[3]
The funding issue of concern prior to either of these is the automatic cuts (sequestration) scheduled to go into effect on January 2, 2013. As a result of Congress' failure to pass a $1.2 trillion ten-year savings plan last year as mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011, defense and non-defense discretionary programs will face funding cuts of approximately 8% unless Congress acts to prevent the cuts.[4]
Avoiding sequestration is merely one of multiple issues facing Congress after the election, among which are addressing the multiple tax breaks that expire at the end of the year, the expiration of emergency unemployment benefits, and the decrease of Medicare doctor's reimbursement rates without any congressional action.
Congress is expected to return to the Capitol the week after the elections. The election results will dramatically influence the negotiations and resolution of sequestration and the other challenges facing the nation.

Welcome to Bit & Spur Animal Hospital
Founded in 1992 by John C. Courtney, D.V.M., we moved to our current location on December 22, 2008. Our facility offers the latest in veterinary design, including separate surgical, dental and x-ray suites, intensive care monitoring, digital radiography and 24 hour nursing care. Grooming and boarding are part of the main building but have separate air conditioning and ventilation systems. The design of the office was done to allow for visibility throughout the hospital, avoiding confinement, as well as aiding in patient comfort. Our facility is fully computerized, and we have been a member of AAHA since October 1999. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is an international association of more than 27,000 veterinary care providers who treat companion animals. Established in 1933, AAHA is well known among veterinarians and pet owners for its standards for hospitals and pet health care. Over 3,000 veterinary hospitals voluntarily participate in the AAHA hospital evaluation program. Trained consultants regularly visit these hospitals to ensure compliance with AAHA's standards for services and facilities. Individual veterinarians can also be members of AAHA. AAHA reminds pet owners that they can help dogs and cats live healthier and longer lives by taking their pets to the veterinarian for annual physical exams, vaccinations, and dental care as well as providing pets with fresh water, a balanced diet, and exercise.
Thank you for choosing us! Please take a minute and write us a review!

Earlier this evening, Patrick Boltinghouse was driving past the Fort Des Moines Church of Christ on East Army Post Road and snapped a photo of its marquee:
The message may be a teaser for church pastor Mike Demastus' next sermon. On his Facebook page this afternoon, he wrote, "I am pausing my series on Moses this Sunday and addressing the issue of homosexuality from the pulpit…even though there is [sic] a lot of conflicting voices in our culture on the topic, God's Word does not stutter, stammer or hesitate about what it has to say on the issue."
And it's no surprise: gay rights have been front and center in the news this week. On Tuesday, a federal appeals court in San Francisco struck down the state's anti-gay marriage Prop 8. That same night, Rick "man on dog" Santorum — the favorite of Iowa's premiere anti-gay activist Bob Vander Plaats — gave presumed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney his latest headache by sweeping Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri in the GOP primary. On Wednesday, Washington state legislators voted to legalize gay marriage.
Demastus didn't endorse Santorum for the Iowa caucuses. But he played an active role in the process, touring the state with a group of pastors supporting Michele Bachmann, infamous in gay-rights circles for her husband's pray-away-the-gay clinic in Minnesota. In his most recent blog post, titled "What's at stake…" and written before the caucuses, Demastus warned that "Iowans like to see their babies dead" and claimed (falsely) that "the number one source of money for Planned Parenthood comes from the abortions they perform." Then he reminded caucus-goers that Iowa "seems to have devolved into the homosexual version of Mecca."
Surprisingly, Demastus also didn't support Vander Plaats during his failed bid for governor in 2010. Instead, he donated $100 to the campaign of former Republican state Rep. Rod Roberts, who said that gay marriage would be moral if Iowans endorsed it in a popular vote. Demastus did, however, donate another $50 to, and ultimately vote for, independent candidate Jonathan Narcisse, who told the Progressive before the 2010 election that the Iowa Supreme Court was guilty of "despotism" for effectively legalizing gay marriage in the state the previous year. (More recently, Demastus gave $20 to the state senate campaign of fellow anti-gay — and Newt Gingrich-endorsed — pastor Jeff Mullen.)
When I contacted him at home this evening, Demastus wouldn't discuss the marquee but said, "You can call me at my church office tomorrow." I'll update this story if he comments then.
UPDATE, Thursday, February 9 12:46 a.m.: Shortly after Patrick Boltinghouse posted the church marquee photo below on his Facebook wall, a "People against the bigots at Fort Des Moines Church of Christ" page was created, as was a sit-in protest event. Later, a commenter on Boltinghouse's wall reported that the "sign has been changed to 'Adultery is not okay'. We tried to take a photo, but a van started following us."
UPDATE II, Thursday, February 9, 3:03 p.m.: Fort Des Moines Church of Christ Pastor Mike Demastus has confirmed that he put the words "Gay is not okay" on his church's marquee around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, but "with all my heart I did not foresee or envision" such a negative reaction. He said he came up with the marquee idea after speaking with people about homosexuality a few weeks ago. "I realized — this is my naivete — it's provocative, I might get an email, might get a phone call," Demastus explained. "The statement was 'Gay is not okay' but how it was interpreted was 'Gays are not okay.' I'm preaching a Biblical message. They are in the image of the creator, just like me. They are no different than an adulterer, or cheater, or liar. They're sinners, just like me…that was the intention of the message, but it got muddied up real quick."
Before he changed the marquee about 12 hours later to read "Adultery is not okay," Demastus said the sign was vandalized three times and the church's Facebook page (since taken offline) was "inundated with vulgarities and vitriol and just tons of hate speech, which they were accusing me of." He told me that he decided to change the marquee after receiving three separate messages with "my address and 'Hope you feel safe at home,'" which was why he was hesitant to speak with me last night when I reached him at home.
Demastus told me that he has been in contact with Des Moines police regarding the threats, and next Sunday "we will have a number of police officers in the building to help ensure the safety and security of the people in the church" during a planned sit-in protest. "We are happy [protesters] are going to employ their First Amendment rights. They are, however, not welcome to do that in the building or on our property."
One last note: Last night, a Des Moines resident posted an alleged screenshot of a Facebook message he received from the church's account calling him a "little faggot." "It is completely fake, and it's awful that a person would stoop down to such a level," Demastus told me. "It's so wrong in every way." The image appears to have been deleted from Facebook, but you can see it here. Its poster did not respond to a request for comment.
UPDATE III, Thursday, February 9, 8:00 p.m.: Out of respect for his privacy, the name of the individual mentioned in Update II below, who has informed me that he is a minor, has been removed at his request. The image he posted of the fake Facebook message (its font does not match Facebook's typical font) purportedly sent to him by the Fort Des Moines Church of Christ is still available here.

Comments about Electro-Harmonix XO Worm Analog Modulation Multi-Effects Pedal:
I was seeking a quiet, small, multi-purpose pedal which would provide trem, auto-wah, and phasing. (I don't generally have a need for vibrato or pedal-wah in my playing.) After playing with Mister Worm for about 20 minutes in the store, I brought it home, and to date have played 3 gigs and numerous rehearsals and jams with it. It is tremendously-easy to get decent sounds out of it. The manual is beyond worthless, but seriously, if you can't figure this pedal out on its own, you should take a break and have a few beers. When you return, it'll be much more clear. I have a huge selection of guitars, plus the electric dulcimer, mandolin, and bouzouki... all run through either my Behringer 15W or Yamaha G100-212 amps. The Worm is dead silent - adds no noise at all, and has True Bypass - yeay! - no tone-sucking. "UNKNOWN's" review chastized the Worm for... I guess... not being "severe" or "prominent" enough. They have a point here - this pedal will NOT get you into sonic mayhem territory. Persomally, I like that. I don't need to go there. It's enough for me to know that no matter how I tweak the knobs with my size-12's while onstage, I won't get too-far afield from the core sound I'm after. So, that's either a plus or a minus, depending on what you're trying to accomplish. The Auto-wah is pretty anemic (even the nasty noisy Boss pedal is more prominent), but on the other hand, ALL of the Worms' sounds are quiet, pretty, and well-restrained. My gear moves a LOT. If a device doesn't make the grade, it's gone without a second thought. Based on my short experience with Mister Worm, I intend to keep it a long time. I love the fact that it's "tame" (again, this might really annoy others). If I need more, I'll fire up the Eventide. I love the fact that Mister Worm packs so many options into such a small box, which doesn't consume undue real-estate on my board. I love the fact that it's deadly-silent when I'm not actually playing, and has true bypass. I love the fact that it's made in New York City - because I love NY and its people. I wish it had just a bit more aggression in the Auto-wah... but that's a small gripe. It helps me make music by being so jolly and unobtrusive. The settings are straightforward, no menus, no presets, no scrolling, no tedious programming when my band is otherwise ready to rock. Because it's "tame", even if I forget to switch the settings (for whatever song we're on), it still makes a very nice sound which serves until I have enough of a vocal break (I'm lead vox, too) to reach down and flop the settings to where I should've set them - that's a beer thing. Go play one. It's perfect for some - like me, maybe not for others. I have NO hesitation recommending it, but whether you like it or not depends on what your Muse is whispering in your ear.
Comments about Electro-Harmonix XO Worm Analog Modulation Multi-Effects Pedal:
really vintage and analog sounds, like at the individual stompboxes
Comments about Electro-Harmonix XO Worm Analog Modulation Multi-Effects Pedal:
I have owned this pedal for about 2 years, and it is a really good value for the money. Having four effects in one is awesome, the downside being that you have to manually switch between them with the knob. An option to cycle through them on the fly would have been nice. You can plug in an expression pedal and use it with the wah effect, making it a full blown wah pedal, or you can get various other tones by using it with the other effects. The expression pedal basically adjusts the amount of "range" rather than using the same knob on the pedal. My biggest gripe is that when it is engaged, there is a significant boost to your volume, which depending on the situation can be a bad thing. I broke most logical pedal arrangement convention and actually put this BEFORE my compression pedal, which keeps the volume level in check. The effects can be somewhat subtle, so if you are looking for some uber-major modulation effects then you might want to look elsewhere. Other than that, it is a great pedal and being able to use it with an expression pedal as a bonus makes this one of my favorite pedals! If you can look past its few short comings, then this is a must buy!
Comments about Electro-Harmonix XO Worm Analog Modulation Multi-Effects Pedal:
I like the wah and phaser sounds on this pedal, they have a nice retro vibe that sounds amazing with my Fuzz Factory. Using an expression pedal with the wah and phaser sound is a blast as well, I prefer the sounds to my base model Crybaby. This pedal is "noisy" in the same way a wah pedal is; when you are not playing with the pedal on, you can slightly hear it modulating in the background (in auto mode on wah or pahser). Digging the wah and phaser sounds on this pedal and how it sounds with fuzz, makes this an excellent value for me. Thoroughly stoked to play this.
Comments about Electro-Harmonix XO Worm Analog Modulation Multi-Effects Pedal:
I tried this one out at my local Guitar Center. This thing sounds killer. I really like the fact that it has 4 modes to choose from and they all sound sweet in their own way. It's like 4 pedals in one. Get it, you won't be sorry. I did and I'm not.

Politicians who distanced themselves from India's Congress party before its stunning election victory are rushing back with almost indecent haste in the hope of being embraced by the new government.
The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) grabbed 262 seats in the month-long polls, leaving it just 10 short of an absolute majority.
The Congress alone won 206 seats — its best performance in 18 years.
A so-called "Third Front" and even a "Fourth Front" with a combined total of 14 regional parties had decided to form their own groups ahead of the election, but they have rapidly disintegrated in the wake of the Congress juggernaut.
"We had expected the two fronts to fragment but what amazes us is the speed at which this is happening," a Congress leader tipped to hold a top cabinet slot told reporters in an off-record briefing.
First out of the blocks in the sprint to find favour with the Congress leadership was the Fourth Front's Samajwadi Party, which offered the backing of its 23 MPs on Tuesday.
"It must not be forgotten we supported the Congress party when its Left Front allies withdrew support during the confidence vote in parliament last year," Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh noted.
"We have no lust for power," insisted Singh as several others also threw their hats into the alliance's crowded ring of new-found allies.
Former rail minister Laloo Prasad Yadav, whose RJD party was part of the previous government but went its own way during the election campaign, also offered his "unconditional support" to Congress after being routed at the ballot box.
Despite Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's invitation for all "secular" parties to unite behind his government, Congress has so far played hard to get with its returning courtiers, accepting their support but offering little in return.
One particularly surprising addition to the new cheerleading bandwagon has been Third Front stalwart Mayawati, the self-styled champion of India's lowest castes.
Mayawati, who earlier said she wanted to become prime minister and had been a vocal Congress opponent during the campaign, offered her "unconditional support" to the new government.
"Singh telephoned me and said I am like his little sister," said Mayawati after her party managed just 21 seats — half its expected tally.
Not all Congress leaders have voiced the same sort of affection for those seeking to return to the alliance fold.
"We didn't ask them to leave, and they continue saying they are still part of the coalition," complained Congress General Secretary Janardhan Dwivedi.
The Telegraph newspaper said the overriding feeling in Congress headquarters was: "Shun the renegades and hug the loyalists."
As far as cabinet posts go, Congress is certain to take the lion's share — including the key home, foreign, finance and defence portfolios — while divvying up the lesser ministries between the allies it fought the election with.
It has no need to buy the loyalty of the other parties.
"The Congress this time around needs just 10 MPs to form a stable government and can do without these groups," said Delhi University political analyst Anand Ojha.
"But the irony of it all is that these fair-weather friends of the Congress do not seem to realise this," he added.

Who Got Left Out of the In Memoriam Segment at the Oscars?
In Memoriam, part two: R.I.P., Dennis Farina, Tom Clancy, and others.
Every year, for whatever reason, a handful of actors and other film notables who passed away in the previous year miss the cut for the Oscars' annual In Memoriam segment, and 2014 was no exception. The Academy seems to err on the side of not including people who are most notable for their TV work, even if they did do some film work — such as Gilligan's Island's Russell Johnson, Glee's Cory Monteith, All in the Family's Jean Stapleton and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air's James Avery. Also, the producers often edit the package so far in advance that recent deaths do not make it in. But nevertheless, there were a few notable absences that deserved mention. Please add any names we may have missed in the comments section.
Dennis Farina
Farina, a former Chicago cop, made his debut in Michael Mann's 1981 film Thief, and went on to have memorable roles in numerous films, including an oft-quoted turn in the 1988 Robert De Niro comedy Midnight Run. Of all the exclusions from this year's In Memoriam segment, Farina's seems the most egregious.
Alain Resnais
The French director of Hiroshima, Mon Amour, among many other classics, died on Saturday, too late for inclusion. However, the end of the montage featured an onscreen tag mentioning camera assistant Sarah Jones*, who was killed while working on the Gregg Allman biopic Midnight Rider just last week. Surely it wouldn't have taken that much time to expand that to acknowledge Resnais at the last minute.
Tom Clancy
The author's Jack Ryan spy thrillers have been adapted into successful movies starring three different Jacks. Yes, he didn't write the screenplays himself, but so much of his work was optioned and created that he deserved a mention.
Syd Field
Was the screenwriter guru and author, who died November 17, left out because Hollywood doesn't want to acknowledge that there is a formula to writing movies?
Jonathan Winters
He was a comedian first, and a big portion of his career was on TV. But for The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, give the guy his moment. (No need to mention The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh.)
Did you notice any other glaring omissions?
* This post originally credited camera assistant Sarah Jones as a stuntwoman.

We live in a world of water scarcity so we must find innovative ways to more efficiently allocate this most precious resource. According to the US Intelligence Community Assessment of Global Water Security "By 2030, humanity's annual global water requirements will exceed current sustainable water supplies by 40%." A critical problem is the existing water markets lock away the true value of water and mute pricing signals that could otherwise lead to efficient allocations. This leads to the waste of billions of gallon of water a year – water that could help make life more sustainable.
Founded in 2017, AQUAOSO Technologies, PBC is a public benefit corporation. We saw the need to develop a unified, automated platform to buy, sell and research water rights in order to build a water resilient future through advanced technologies. Our water trading platform provides transparency and insight that enables smart water markets that significantly saves money and time, reduces risk and encourages the efficient use of water. AQUAOSO is a Better Way to Trade.
We Dive Deep into Water
The AQUAOSO team has extensive experience and expertise in the water sector. To us water is definitely more than a commodity. It is the lifeblood that fuels our passion to bring technology and transparency to the water market for the benefit of all stakeholders involved.

Dr. Luke drags Chris Brown...

Dr. Luke has finally broken his silence on social media to vehemently deny raping his protege Ke$ha. In doing so, he drags Chris Brown in his defense.
Demi later blasted Taylor's donation, and that's it pretty much. Luke basically called celebrity attorney Mark Geragos a hypocrite for repping Ke$ha in court after having Chris Brown as a previous client. Team Breezy are all up in his mentions, but do you agree?
Thoughts?Mark Geragos (kesha's attorney) represented Scott Peterson and Chris Brown. How can he pretend he cares about women's rights?— Dr. Luke Doctor Luke (@TheDoctorLuke) February 22, 2016

National Fair Housing Alliance Announces Support for Amendments to Fair Housing Act
Dec 08, 2010, 04:50 EST
HOME Act Provides Protections Based on Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Source of Income
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Chair of the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, along with Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers and Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Edolphus Towns, introduced the Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME) Act. The HOME Act (H.R. 6500) modernizes the federal Fair Housing Act in several important ways, including extending federal civil rights protections to people based upon their sexual orientation, gender identity, or source of income. The National Fair Housing Alliance has endorsed the bill and applauds Congressman Nadler for his insight and initiative.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20070420/NFHALOGO)
"Housing discrimination runs counter to the American spirit of opportunity, and instead is part of America's dark history of senseless exclusion," said NFHA President and CEO Shanna L. Smith. "This bill takes the long needed step of ensuring that housing providers can not reject people or subject them to discriminatory treatment because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or legal source of income. Housing providers can and must only use pertinent factors such as rental history or financial qualifications to make decisions about home seekers."
Since 1968, the Fair Housing Act, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act, has protected people living in America from housing discrimination. Currently, the Fair Housing Act promotes residential diversity and makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religious, national origin, gender, disability, or familial status.
Yet, the Act does not extend protections to LGBT people, who often face harassment and violence from housing providers and neighbors or home seekers who intend to pay for housing with government assistance. In the absence of federal prohibitions, landlords, real estate agents and mortgage lenders may offer housing on discriminatory terms to LGBT individuals, and landlords may blatantly refuse to rent to people seeking to pay for housing with veteran benefits, government-issued vouchers or social security.
Many state and local governments have already taken steps to outlaw such discrimination: 12 states and the District of Columbia outlaw discrimination based on source of income; 20 states and DC prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and 14 states and DC prohibit discrimination based on gender identity.
"I applaud Chairman Nadler for his insight and initiative," said Smith. "These long-needed changes to the Fair Housing Act will improve our neighborhoods and expand important civil rights to so many people who are currently left out."
In addition to protections for sexual orientation, gender identity, and source of income, the bill would do the following:
- add protections based on marital status;
- reinforce existing protections for people who are discriminated against after they have already rented or purchased a home;
- allow the public to hold municipalities accountable for failing to advance fair housing laws;
- update the definition of "familial status" – a currently federally protected class that prevents discrimination against families with children – to be more inclusive of more family types;
- improve the Department of Justice's ability to investigate potential fair housing and fair lending violations; and
- clarify and strengthen protections for people with disabilities.
About the National Fair Housing Alliance (www.nationalfairhousing.org)
Founded in 1988, the National Fair Housing Alliance is a consortium of more than 220 private, non-profit fair housing organizations, state and local civil rights agencies, and individuals from throughout the United States. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the National Fair Housing Alliance, through comprehensive education, advocacy and enforcement programs, provides equal access to apartments, houses, mortgage loans and insurance policies for all residents of the nation.

The power of the crowd has been found to be the driving force behind an increase in consumer purchases in many companies. Most customers rely on reviews as they consider them as opinions from people they know. This has made savvy brands to capitalize on this trend and incorporate customer reviews into their marketing strategies.
The Impact of User Reviews on Fabletics
The TechStyle Fashion Group Corporate Marketing Officer Shawn Gold says the company discovered the power of user reviews or the crowd early enough and has been using it to boost sales. Since the launch of the Fabletics in 2013, revenue has been increasing steadily to over $235 million to date, and the number of paying members to over one million.
But Why Are Customer Reviews so Effective in Driving Sales?
Due to rapid change in consumer behaviors where most are buying things online, customer reviews have become critical. Before making purchases, most clients are going through customer reviews before making the final decision. A study by BrightLocal has shown that 84% of people take online reviews to be true.
Regular Use
There has been a sharp increase in the number of people who research a business online in a given month with about half of them admitting to reading customer reviews frequently. Negative reviews have been found to deter 60% of potential customers from contacting with a company.
Embraced by Companies
Throughout the years, the number of firms having customer reviews feature on their website has increased significantly. A survey by L2, a research company, shows about 76% of companies use this feature to drive sales.
Benefits of Positive Customer Reviews
Positive reviews have been found to drive sales and revenue in a company. Furthermore, they improve a company's search ranking. Positive reviews also boost the number of repeat customers in a business.
Kate Hudson's Morphosis from an Upcoming Actress to Fabletics Greatness
An afternoon at the Beverly Hills Hotel with Kate Hudson on the red carpet is different from what you would expect. Those present here are not celebrating the launch of a moviebutcollaboration between Fabletics and Demi Lovata, a pop superstar. The musician says he loves Fabletics for the cute clothes and what they stand for; inspiring and empowering women.
In their quest to have an athleisure brand in their company, TechStyle Fashion Group founders Don Ressler and Adam Goldenberg found a perfect partnership in Kate Hudson. According to the Fabreticspresident Gregg Throgmartin, Kate was the chosen as she is approachable, has an active lifestyle, and is less serious about herself. Since joining the company, Kate has been heavily involved in activities such as choosing the social media strategy among others.
Kate regularly uses her Fabletics gear, unlike most celebrities who rarely seen using the products they endorse. She is unique in that she only uses something if it is authentic to her. The company's desire to have the best products at a low price was not an easy to achieve, and the company was forced to delay its launch for six months after delivery of inferior quality products by the supplier.
