KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Josh Reddick homered and drove in four runs to cap a big series for Oakland, Jed Lowrie and Eric Sogard also went deep and the Athletics beat the Kansas City Royals 10-4 on Sunday.
A.J. Griffin (7-6) rebounded from a miserable start against the Cubs to go five innings for the A's. The only damage he allowed came on solo homers by George Kottaras and Alex Gordon.
Jesse Chavez earned his first career save with four scoreless innings of relief.
Luis Mendoza (2-5) allowed five runs in the second inning for the Royals, and was yanked to a round of boos after retiring just four batters. It was the right-hander's shortest start in exactly five years — since an outing on July 7, 2008, when he was still with Texas.
Reddick hit a two-run double during the A's big second inning, and he added a two-run homer off Bruce Chen in the third. The right fielder also had two RBIs during a series-opening win Friday night, and then drove in another run in a 4-3 loss on Saturday.
That defeat snapped a five-game winning streak for the Athletics.
They quickly got back to their winning ways.
Their 15-hit deluge began with a single in the second by Yoenis Cespedes. John Jaso added a one-out walk and Reddick's line drive to left gave Oakland a 2-0 lead.
Mendoza struck out Chris Young before another double by Sogard and back-to-back singles by Coco Crisp and Lowrie knocked him from the game. Chen came in from the bullpen and gave up another base hit to Josh Donaldson before finally getting out of the inning.
Kottaras got the home crowd energized with his homer in the second, but the A's refused to let the Royals engineer another five-run comeback like they did Thursday against Cleveland. Jaso's one-out single set the table for Reddick, who launched his fourth homer of the year.
After a breakthrough year in which he hit 32 homers, Reddick had been scuffling until he got to Kansas City. He was hitting just .210 with three homers and 25 RBIs in his first 57 games, but found the expansive outfield off Kauffman Stadium to be to his liking.
Gordon, who missed the first game of the series after a scary collision with the outfield wall earlier in the week, validated his first All-Star nod a day earlier with his homer. His ninth of the season came with two outs in the fifth inning.
Lowrie answered it with a solo shot of his own in the sixth.
The Royals tried to rally again in the bottom half off A's reliever Jerry Blevins. Mike Moustakas hit an RBI double and Miguel Tejada an RBI single in which he beat a throw to first with a head-first slide. Chavez ended the rally when he retired Eric Hosmer with the bases loaded.
Sogard's two-run homer in the seventh ended any thoughts of another Royals comeback.
Notes: All-Star C Salvador Perez was held out of the Royals' starting lineup. Manager Ned Yost said Perez has been playing through a soft tissue and bone bruise on his leg from a foul ball. ... A's manager Bob Melvin said All-Star RHP Bartolo Colon will pitch next Sunday against Boston. That will make available another spot on Detroit manager Jim Leyland's AL roster. ... Lowrie was back in the A's starting lineup at SS after experience stiffness in his left calf.

Fashion Designers Realizing New Fashion Copyright Would Cause Serious Harm To Business
from the waking-up dept
Yet, as expected, there has been a big push to get the law passed this year. People have been submitting stories on a near weekly basis about how one or another celebrity designer trekked up to Capitol Hill to push starstruck Congress Critters to support the bill.
It's reached the point that many expect the bill to finally pass this year, but suddenly many in the industry are realizing what a disaster this would be. Boing Boing points us to a plea from industry insiders who are realizing how such a law would destroy the industry and force many small businesses and designers to shut down. Yet, when they talked to their Congressional reps, they were told that Congress hadn't heard anyone complain about this yet, so now they're trying to get out the word.
It might help them to present some of the economic research on this, including the studies that have shown how much the lack of copyright has helped the industry to thrive, and how much harm the addition of copyright would do to the overall industry. This research has been out there for years, but apparently the folks writing the laws would rather hang out with celebrities like Tim Gunn than actually do some research around what such a law would really mean for the industry.

Hey guys,
Yes, Ramones is still there. Yes, it is overpriced – the food there is ridiculously expensive. No offense to those that like AI resorts, but the food just sucks at them (compared to eating outside the resorts)… Yes, I will admit it is convenient.
The Phoenix is right next door to where I stayed, so you'll have access to all the same things I did – Ritchies Supermarket, cayemart, the smoked chicken guy (sat/sun at the cayemart), Wet Willies, and the piers. And yes, we walked by it daily noting how amazingly nice it was.
I will say that I heard the other coast of the island was a bit seedy, and we avoided it.
As far as restaurants, go eat at the places I listed in my TA review. For breakfast, make sure you hit Geo's Hideaway café – the breakfast croissant sandwiches were $5 and you can't eat 2. The coffee there is HUGE and affordable too…
Trying to remember what you asked me in your last PM…. Blue Hole for snorkelers? There were some on board of the boat we were on (Amigos Del Mar)…. Is it worth it? I think it would be fun, but to miss going 140 ft down to see the 10 foot reef sharks, the drum fish and the MONSTEROUS stalactites, you're doing yourself an injustice. We did see dolphins on the way there, sharks 140 feet down and 2 sperm whales on the way back… Plus we saw ½ Moon Caye on the way back – and the colony of the Red Footed Booby birds. I'm not sure I would have wanted to spend THAT much money without seeing the great blue hole as seen by the eyes of one of my all time childhood heros – Jacques Cousteau… It was amazing
As far as staying on the mainland? No thank you – driving through BZE City to go to the zipline/cavetubing combo trip was enough for me. We took the 90 minute ferry ride to/from Ambergris…
Oh and you asked about clothing - I took 2 nice collared shirts and wore those with sandals and khaki shorts – the rest was swim trunks and t-shirts. Ambergris is LAYED BACK… And you can walk everywhere – it's TINY.
Hope this helps – more later – I'm late to my next meeting.

OK, back from my meeting....
More on Blue Hole... I will say that if you are at sea level, you could drive by it and not know it... The only way you can really tell it's there is from the sky. There is a sandy shelf at about 20 feet, that the divers meet at prior to the decent... The max depth allowed is 130, although I dipped to 136 to assist my GF, a beginner diver who accidentally dipped to 145. As a snorkeler, I do not think you're going to see much. It's DARK down there... I took a flash light... So, snorkeling, blue hole... From what I could tell, I think the darkness will severely limit what you see / how far you can see. Plus, there's going to be A LOT of scuba bubbles coming up to the top. I also heard some of those monster sharks came right up to the surface, but I did not witness that, I'm just relaying what was told to me.
Palapa Bar and Grill north of the toll bridge– again, do not miss it. It's great to get on the inner tubes and have them lower buckets of beer to you...
To rent a golf cart, wander next door to the Phoenix to the Tradewinds Paradise Villas and see if you find Lelo the cabdriver or Glenn (kid that works @ Tradewinds)... Ask them for the cheapest cart prices – they got em for $30/day for one of the people on my diveboat... 50-60/day is typical. There are 2 gas stations on the Caye (both are south of $5 toll bridge)... And gas aint cheap – ~$6 US per gallon...
There is a combo zipline/cave tubing excursion – a lot offer it for 210 pp and come down to 180... We paid 130 pp... they provided drinks and lunch and at the end Belizean rum punch. From the phoenix, walk SOUTH on the beach till u see a pier with a tour operator... They are the ones that advertised the 199.00 blue hole trip.
If you drink, buy the maximum allowed duty free liquor @ the BZE airport and fly it to the caye... we spent $30 on a bottle of couintreau and $30 on reposado te-lill-ya... (it would have been double that on the caye) we should have bought double that. marg mix on the caye was cheap. the belizean run was cheap... hint – carry a water bottle with u full of the rum to spike your weak drink @ restaurants... carry a water bottle full of couintreau to spike the weak margs @ restaurants. Trust me on that one... having your own bar on the island saves u a lot of bar tab money.
Also, buy Belikin beer hats, t-shirts, bottle openers, coozies – you can not buy that beer in the US – my belikin beer ball cap is unique...
Also, try to figure out where anti-virus software developer John McAfee's home is (north end)... Such an an incredible story...
My Belizean adventure was not something I will soon forget – I can't wait to return

Unless you are going to one of the resorts farther south on the mainland I probably wouldnt stay there. DO NOT stay in Belize City.
Just stay on the island and take a couple of day trips over to the things you want to do on the mainland.
Its been a few years since I was there last. Last time was when they first started cobblestoning the main roads of San Pedro. Its growing up fast now.
As said above. Just drink Belikin while you are there. You don't have to ask for it by name just say you want a beer at the bar and thats what you get. Go to the store and buy a case of it to drink by the pool. Much cheaper. And the One Barrel Rum is really good. Get get it here which is a shame. Marie Sharps hot sauce is killer too so get a big bottle of it and the One Barrel to bring home.
My wife talked one of the guys at the Belikin distributor into giving her a wall mounted bottle opener. They don't sell them just give them to hotels and bars as a promotional item. You are likely to have one in your room. It's my little bit of Belize I cherish at the house.

I just took the family to Ambergris in December. My family had a great time. We rented a house on the beach just North of the Phoenix. The Phoenix looked great. You will enjoy the pool because the sea grass makes swimming in the ocean less fun unless you are in a few select areas.
If you are a diver there is a dive shop a short walk north of the Phoenix called Pajatos. We dove with them several days and took the kids snorkeling. I would recommend them highly. Both the diving and snorkeling was great. They saw a whale shark on Dec 4th.
I loved the food at the Wild Mango which is on the beach at the south end of town.
We bought beer from the Belikin distributor and if you bring the bottles back you are at less than $1/beer. If you get a golf cart ask a local how to get there.
Usually Caribbean food is not great. We did not have a bad meal the entire time in Belize.
Have Fun!

Good tip on the beer. I am all about less than a dollar a beer. I will take several of the dining ideas as well. Thanks guys it really helps when people have been there before.

The place we rented was north of the Phoenix but south of the cut. It was a yellow house called Casa Caracol. We had a big crew so I rented both the upstairs and downstairs which can be rented separately.
There is a little fruit market across from the Belize Yacht Club. We picked up some fresh fruit and some really good homemade salsa there.
I am a big fan of having a golf cart. You can walk all over but it is fun to explore up to the Palapa Bar north of town and gives you a lot more dining options.
Have Fun!

yes, the carts were great, just expensive and apt to theft. Anything not locked down will be stolen there.
Another Palapa Bar fan! Nice! They do have a FB page...
Did you travel way south of Ramones? We did a bit, but it was mainly a few outlaying resorts and not much as far as restaurants.
Booked the 10 day trip at the Phoenix Resort. Thought if we need to break up the trip we will take a day trip to Guatamala and see ruins. A friend warned me about bugs. More specifically, sand mites or fleas. My girl is a "girlie girl" and that is not something we want is to get the heck bitten out of my baby on her 50th. Is that a real concern and what do you do repelant wise. BTW, How is the local beer, Belikin? Light/Amber and what is it comparable to?
"One foot in the grave, one foot on the pedal, I was born a rebel" Petty
Both times we went we had no bug problems. Most of the time there is a nice breeze which keeps everything away.
I love Belikin. Wish we could get it here. The original is similar to Red Stripe. Belikin also makes a Lighthouse which a lighter Pilsner and Premium which is more of an amber. I much prefer just to order the original 'beer'
Some of the bigger bars carry some import beers but they are really expensive. Belikin is kind of a Belizean beer cartel. So just order a 'beer' at the bar and drink Belikin original. When in Rome...

I hope that the title to this blog post knocked you out of your comfort zone, because that was my intention in writing this guide. Don't get me wrong: LinkedIn is still an essential part of your job search, and having an optimized LinkedIn profile and networking with others on that platform is still a prerequisite in helping you land your next job. But where LinkedIn may have been the ultimate differentiator for the job seeker two years ago, it no longer is. Instead, it's time to start thinking about investing more time in utilizing Twitter for your job search. Twitter is a world in which the "connections" and other restrictions of LI do not exist: It is a flat society that allows you to communicate with someone just by knowing their username. It is also where more searches are being performed on Twitter than on Yahoo or Bing, and therein lies the opportunity for you, the job seeker. For you I have written this post: The Ultimate How to Use Twitter for Your Job Search Guide.
The ultimate job search guide below assumes that you may not have even registered for Twitter before. Relax and remember that social media was made for us and not them. Take a deep breath and let's get started. Even if you're already tweeting, you might want to review some of these before skipping forward in this post.
Setting Up Your Account
A little more than a year ago I wrote the ultimate "101" guide with 7 tips on how to get started on Twitter. Setting up your profile properly is important just as your LinkedIn profile is because it can and will be searched upon. Therefore, please keep these tips in mind:
1. Use your personal e-mail address for your account. Will help you get found and ensure that you maintain control in case you change jobs if you are presently working. Make sure you allow others to find you by that email address in your account settings screen as well.
2. Use your real name for your account. Remember, the world is watching you on Twitter. If you really want to show that you are an expert in something, show it in your bio, link, and tweets, not in your name. What you lose in potential SEO benefits you gain in establishing credibility. Others may have a different opinion on this one, but if you wouldn't put a catchy nickname on your resume, you might not want to do it on Twitter if you are looking for a job.
3. Complete your "More Info URL" by linking to your preferred bio destination. 3 schools of thought as to where this final destination might be. A) Started blogging? This will probably be the link you want to use. B) Have you created an online resume using VisualCV? If so, why not bring potential employers to that site? C) The default link for all others will be your LinkedIn profile.
4. Create a branded "One Line Bio" and make it recruiter-friendly. Recruiters use search when looking for potential employees so think like them when crafting your bio. Aside from the link to your resume mentioned above, make your location familiar by using the name of the metropolitan area where you are looking for work and make sure you use often-searched-in-resume-database terms such as credentials, job title and industry.
5. Professionally branded picture, please. Assuming you have a similar professional photo on your LinkedIn profile, make your life easier and utilize the same professionally branded picture here on Twitterville.
6. Standard professionally-looking background design will do for now. Simply use one of the preset designs that looks professional. The new Twitter UI actually displays even less of your background design, so a custom background is not as important as it used to be. That being said, if you are an artist or web designer, you may want to strut your stuff here and show off.
7. Keep your tweets public. Making your tweets private defeats the whole purpose of being on Twitter. Enough said.
Networking, Engaging & Tweeting
Just as you create a profile to be found on LinkedIn, tweets are the ultimate guide to your being found on Twitter. But Twitter is about more than just tweeting: It is also about networking and engaging others just like you would do on LinkedIn Groups, LinkedIn Answers, or even on Facebook. With that in mind, even before you start following others, start tweeting! Relax: Tweet, and you will be magically found and followed. Check back every once a while to see who has followed you and follow back relevant people that don't appear to be bots. As you start following others back, start keeping an eye on your Twitter Following to Follower ratio. But first, here's some tweeting tips:
8. Create your Twitter content strategy. Read my advice on what to tweet before you start tweeting "out of brand."
9. Keep tweets professional and favorable to anyone who might stumble upon them. In line with my advice on 8. on what to tweet, keep things professional in nature. The ultimate guide in your online personal branding is "You are what you tweet," not what you eat, so that means no tweeting what you ate for lunch. I'm not saying that you can't include other personal information like hobbies or projects. But try to keep things professional for the most part, and when you sprinkle in some personal interests, do it in a way that ideally adds to your professional brand like taking about a new skill you acquired or a seminar you attended.
10. Invest daily time in tweeting. You don't need to spend a lot of time tweeting. But you need to start creating a daily social media routine that includes tweeting time. There are tools that exist, like HootSuite, that allow you to pre-schedule content to tweet throughout the day. Then it is just getting into the habit of dividing out some time in the morning and afternoon to responding, engaging and networking. The more you tweet, the more you get found. This also helps you build a history which helps highlight the fact that you are a real person who will respond back should a company or person reach out to you.
11. Network by promoting and helping others. My own concept of Windmill Networking is based on the concept of karma, that do good for others and you shall be rewarded. In the Internet, nothing buys you more credibility than by joining in and helping others as opposed to always self-promoting. Add value to the community by retweeting and sharing interesting tidbits that others might find useful. Hear of a job lead that's not fit for you? Tweet about it so that others might apply to it.
12. Participate in chats using hashtags to get advice and be noticed. Chats are probably one of the quickest ways to get connected through Twitter. Join in regular chat groups that happen during specific times. You can also participate in a less-than-real-time fashion by simply adding the related hashtags in your relevant tweets. Somechats that you should check out are #careerchat, #internchat and #hirefriday. Note that most industries and professions already have their own dedicated chats which allow you to network with your peers and perhaps be noticed by a recruiter.
13. Tweet using the #hirefriday tag to get noticed. One great initiative that was started in Twitter by my dear friend @HRMargo is #HireFriday, a user-generated movement that highlights job seekers so they can be noticed by companies and recruiters looking for great talent.
14. Mingle by attending Tweetups. Go offline and do some good, old-fashioned networking by attending a "Tweetup," which is simply a gathering of friends and followers who met through tweeting. Get to know the people you follow online face to face. The potential upside of getting a real life job referral through these events is something you shouldn't miss. Just do a search for your #(your city)tweetup, such as #latweetup, #nyctweetup, etc. and you are bound to find one. Another option is to search for a nearby tweetup on TwtVite.
Strategically Following and Engaging
There are many theories on what you should do next once you've established yourself tweeting. For normal users, I would tell you to follow Twitter Lists before you follow other Twitter users other than those who have started to follow you. There are some who say that you should mainly be in listening mode for awhile before even participating. If you're a job seeker, the ultimate job search advice from me is going to be to start following other users strategically in hopes of getting noticed by them. At the least, you will be exposed to an incredible amount of realtime information that will provide you information on potential job openings as well as data points to use in researching a company as well as engaging with others. And you never know what conversations might happen just from the simple act of following someone. That being said, remember that following-follower ratio, because if that company, hiring manager, recruiter or industry thought leader has 1,000 followers but only follows 50 back, chances are you won't be followed back, or noticed, either.
15. Follow the companies that interest you and get a feel for their culture. It goes without saying that you need to follow the firms that are on your target list.
16. Follow potential target company employees, recruiters, and industry leaders. Use the top user directory WeFollow, to find relevant people to follow that may directly or indirectly aid your job search – and make sure you register your account as well to help be found! You can also search Twitter Lists at Listorious to help you find relevant people to follow on Twitter.
17. Talk to potential employers without putting forward an agenda. After finding strategic people to follow in 17., monitor their tweets looking for an opportunity to engage with them. Build trust with them by participating or starting in agenda-less conversations or even retweeting something of theirs that you would like to share with your followers. You may also unearth some company need or pain point that you can help them with just by monitoring their tweets just like others are monitoring your tweets for business opportunities! Be strategic here, as first impressions count!
18. Follow Twitter accounts that post job openings. To really get into the game, you should also follow accounts that retweet and gather job openings. Some accounts we recommend you follow include @jobangels, @jobshouts, @twithire, the major job board sites @indeed and @simplyhired, and @startuphire if you are looking for a job at a VC-backed company.
19. Follow conferences and events related to your field. You can also follow conferences and events related to your job search where you can start conversations with attendees and other professionals in your field that may potentially blossom into a new job lead down the road. Whenever there is an industry conference go on, check their website and perform Twitter searches and you should be able to find the appropriate hashtag. Even if you're not at the event, you can still network with attendees, and just by monitoring the tweets your finger will remain on the pulse of what is happening in your industry or profession.
20. Subscribe to Twitter Lists to supplement your friend following. You can use Listorious to also help you find Lists which then you can subscribe to and view inside your timeline. Take advantage of the expert curation of others and increase the scope of your job hunt by finding more interesting and relevant people to follow that you might not have picked up from the above advice.
Twitter as a Job Search Engine Guide
21. Check out Twitter job search engines. Yes, there are search engines that not only specialize in looking for tweets, they also scour job postings too. Check out Twitter job search engines like is TweetMyJobs. Use these sites to help narrow down your search by company and even by location.
22. Use Twitter's advanced search for accurate job hunting. It's not a well-known feature but you can conduct better searches on Twitter by visiting their "hidden" Advanced Twitter Search. This is a powerful tool that can search all tweets and return ones that are relevant to you, your location and your interests. You can even filter results based on positive attitude (which may be a hint that a company may be looking to expand) or negative attitude (still a winner since you can solve whatever their problem is).
23. Make the most out of hashtags for job searches. Hashtags (#) are Twitter's way of classifying content. Employers know this too, so research the hashtags they use to categorize job postings so you can both find new jobs and at the same time mingle with your prospective employers. One great hashtag is #jobangels, a network of people lending a hand to others seeking jobs. For general searches, you can use #jobs, #jobsearch and #jobadvice. You can also drill down using specific job hashtags like #salesjobs.
Tools to Make Twitter More Efficient for You
24. Take charge by using a 3rd party application instead of Twitter.com. Try using the previously mentioned HootSuite, TweetDeck, or Seesmic where you can create "columns" of data based on lists, search terms, users, @mentions, etc…and follow them seamlessly from the comfort of your smart phone!
Tweets as the Ultimate Ongoing Informational Resource for Your Job Hunt
25. Get good advice and stay abreast. If you need help with your resume writing, check out these hashtags for tips on crafting a good-looking resume: #resume, #resumewriting and #CV. And getting hired is just the first step to building your career: Keep learning by following relevant hashtags like #career, #careers, #personalbranding and #employment as well as joining in weekly Twitter chats like #CareerChat. There are also tons of great career lists to follow that you can find on Listorious to help bring the latest advice right to your timeline.
26. Have a career-related question? Tweet it! Twitter is realtime. Give it a try…and you'll see why heavy Twitter users in Japan don't even Google anymore: They just tweet out their questions!
I have tried to be as comprehensive as possible in creating the ultimate guide of the different points of advice I would give the job seeker to maximize their use of Twitter for their job search. Because the uses of the magical realtime platform are as many as human imagination allows, I am sure there are other things that can be added to this guide. If there are other points that you would add, or if you have found a job using Twitter, please share your experiences by commenting after this blog post and helping make the ultimate guide even better! Thank you!

SAILING IN THE GRENADINES: 6 Night, Round Trip Voyage From Grenada
Mandalay is truly an historic ship. This 236-foot barkentine was built in 1923 for financier E.F. Hutton and christened Hussar. In the 1 ...
Read more about the Mandalay
You will visit the islands listed below,and perhaps others, as weather and time permit. The best way to appreciate the Grenadines is by sailing there. The region is visited by only a handful of 'yachties' in search of eternal summer, making these islands one of the most exclusive sailing grounds in the world. Sprinkled in the crystal clear waters between the volcanic peaks of St. Vincent and Grenada is a 60-mile trail of palm-studded sandbars, coral reefs and tiny islets that haven't changed much since Columbus first sailed these waters. Our ships can sail right up to an islet and anchor of a deserted beach. You can ride the tender ashore, or just jump from the Mandalay and swim to the beach. Enjoy the ultimate beach day until your Captain gives the cue to hoist sails. If it's nightlife and cultural stimulation you desire, Grenada and St. Vincent have just that, plus excellent beaches, lush rain forests and all kinds of water sports.
Grenada is the fruit basket of the Caribbean. The fertile soils of the 'Spice Island' are perfect for growing cinnamon, cloves, and cocoa beans. Banana trees grow as tall as palms along the sides of the road. The scents of ginger, vanilla, almond and nutmeg linger in the air, while the countryside explodes with every tropical fruit imaginable. The bustling farmers' market in picturesque St. George is one of the Caribbean's liveliest and most replendent. This old and busy small seaport is part of an 18th-century British West Indian colonial town climbing the steep hills. Small, stucco, stone and brick buildings with winding narrow cobblestone streets reflect both the French and English legacy of this island. Large fruit-ships are loading, small ships coming and going, inter-island "one spar" schooners making the run to Trinidad, fishing boats landing their catch, the town market selling spices and produce and engaging in lively banter, marathon domino games in back street shops and reggae music pulsing on every corner. Ancient rum factories at 17th-century cane plantations, island "jump ups" (dance parties). At Grenada you must take in the whole island: The Fishing Town of Guave, stunning blazing beauty of Grand Anse Beach, and spice plantations still using the equipment of plantation days. If there is a Calypso Competition advertised then we must attend. No mere contest, this is a rank-off competition of the first order. Beautiful jungle waterfalls, and you must try the grilled chicken at a roadside barbeque. Busy, bustling, and very, very West Indian.
Peaceful and removed describes this patch of paradise. Green rolling hills descend to sandy white beaches (typical of the Grenadines.) At Tyrrel Bay, under the shade of palms at the edge of the sea, you can watch local men building schooners by hand. Still unspoiled by mass tourism, this is the perfect spot for getting away-from-it-all.
Union Island, , Grenadines
The most southerly island of the Grenadines, Union Island is a mere three miles by one mile, garnished with two dramatic peaks and a population of 2000. Once you land on shore, you won't want to leave. Union Island is a sailor's delight offering pretty anchorages, a couple of rowdy bars and some good restaurants. There is mile after mile of undisturbed sand and wild mangoes for the taking.
Mayreau, Grenadine Islands
The island of Mayreau is a true break from reality, with only one road, virtually no development, and farm animals outnumbering the inhabitants. One of the Grenadines, in the larger chain of Windward Islands, it has beautiful beaches, and plenty of solitude. View it as your own private island.
Tobago Cays (St. Vincent & Grenadines)
The five small islands of the Tobago Cays are an archipelago with extensive coral reefs located in the Southern Grenadines, and make up the Tobago Cays Marine Park. These uninhabited cays offer heavenly lagoons with green turtles, colorful fishes and crystal clear waters.
Bequía, Grenadines
Pretty as a picture describes our beloved Bequia. You'll be captivated by the island's charm while strolling along the lovely harbor with its shops, restaurants, and pastel-painted gingerbread homes. There's a long tradition of boat building and you'll find a slew of handcrafted model ships, old nautical charts, and rare sailing books to bring back home.
Grenada (return)
Return to Grenada to disembark.

If you've looked at the Billboard Rock Charts lately you may be wondering what's happening to the state of the genre. With chart-toppers like Grouplove, fun., and M83, it feels like the industry is in need of a good ole rock revival. Enter Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown. The Nashville quartet have made it their mission to perserve all that is holy with rock 'n' roll and are converting followers one live performance at a time.
Last week the audience of the East Village haunt Arelene's Grocery were treated to an electrifying performance by Tyler Bryant (vox, guitar), Graham Whitford (rythymn guitar), Caleb Crosby (drums), and Gabe Anderson (filling in on bass). The band was in town for a few days to attend the premiere of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer (Bryant played guitar on the film's score), to attend OurStage's Artist Advisory Board meeting, and to showcase at the New Music Seminar. Check out their performance of "Kick The Habit" live at Arlene's:

(ed. note: this is about cricket, not algorithms, or geometry, or computer science. you have been warned)
South Africa, the Netherlands of cricket, finally won a big game, beating Australia in Perth after a historic run-chase of 414. This of course follows India's famous run-chase, beating England in Chennai by chasing down 387. As Cricinfo points out, 9 of the top 25 run chases have come in the last 8 years (in a tally that dates back to 1902).
There's a detailed statistical analysis of these chases, but no speculation as to why they're becoming more frequent. The answer seems obvious to me though: the increasing scores in one-day cricket. A quick search of Statsguru indicates that of the 258 overall scores above 300 (first or second team) one 1-day games, 179 of these happened after 2000. Even to a casual observer, it's clear that the scores in 1-day games have gone up (and don't get me started on Powerplays).
Frankly, when all this fuss was being made about India's run chase, I couldn't quite understand why, because if you think of this as a one-day game, it's not too hard (and in fact India's coaches thought the same way!).
All in all, two exciting Test matches (and how often have we been able to say that)

When the Nassau County Interim Finance Authority imposed a wage freeze for Nassau County employees in March 2011, and renewed it in March 2012 and 2013, it explicitly applied the freeze to the wages of union workers subject to collective bargaining agreements. But NIFA meant the wage freeze to apply to all county employees, its current chairman, Jon Kaiman, recently contended.
John Ciampoli, the Nassau County attorney who waged political and legal battles with NIFA and who County Executive Ed Mangano terminated in November, did not see it that way. In January 2012, he issued a memorandum addressed to County Clerk Maureen O'Connell stating his official opinion that "the salaries of [nonunion] employees are not frozen."
He cited the following from NIFA's initial wage freeze resolution to support his claim: "[Pay increases] for employees of the county which will take effect after the date of this order pursuant to collective bargaining agreements, and other analogous contracts or interest arbitration awards requiring such increased payments as of any date thereafter, are, in the same manner, suspended."
Employees in Mangano's office, Comptroller George Maragos's office and District Attorney Kathleen Rice's office have seen pay increases since NIFA imposed the wage freeze, though spokesmen for all three said that this simply reflected greater duties some employees have taken on or promotions they have received.
O'Connell's office and that of Kevan Abrahams, the minority leader of the Nassau County Legislature's Democratic caucus, did not return calls for comment. Cristina Brennan, spokeswoman for the majority Republican caucus, said that Norma Gonsalves, the Legislature's presiding officer, would not comment on the issue.
Meanwhile, police officers who are members of the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association and civilian county employees who are members of Civil Service Employees Union Local 830 have seen their wages stagnate for nearly three years.

Birthday party season :: ctd
I made it! About right in time! I just finished two more drawstring bags, for two of M.'s friends this time. These two are slightly different from the other one I made earlier this week - in that I didn't line them, but used a particular technique to finish them off nicely on the inside. If you're interested in finding out what it was that I did, you're lucky, as I plan to write down everything in a tutorial, hopefully somewhere next week.
Don't you like the drawing? It's from M.'s hand - I love her black pen drawings... She made this picture after seeing the fashion insert in a newspaper. In case you're wondering - no, I don't own a Chanel purse...
Need to go now as I still have a zillion things to get done before I'll go pick up the girls from school!
Have a great weekend!

Oh my goodness, how charming! Your daughter is clearly talented, like her mother. Such sweet, thoughtful gifts. I'd like to find a reliable brand of iron-on transfer that does not flake off after washings or make the colors muted. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Dommolina needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 19 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
Certified Tax Coach
We are a national group of professionals who specialize in tax planning for small business owners. We work very differently than traditional CPAs, we have a coaching relationship with our business owner clients. We believe in helping them succeed by coaching them through the financial decisions of their business. We work very proactively strategizing and mapping out the best course for the business to succeed. We are advisors in the truest sense of the word - we act as a board of directors to guide these business owners through the challenges they face and help them accomplish their goals.
All our Certified Tax Coaches must pass a rigorous training program and pass exams to become certified. They also must maintain ongoing education and adhere to a strict code of ethics - this presents an image of trust and integrity in the community. We are the leading authority in tax planning in the US.
Small businesses and their owners. Can be shop owners, professionals, manufacturers, bio tech, IT, physicians, lawyers. This product in particular appeals to the newer business owner or perhaps to a business owner who has been in business a few years and feels stuck, wanting to take their business to the next level.
I just finished a video home study course which will be sold on DVD to my market listed above through my website.
The video course is about small business finance, how to make sense of it all, and simple steps you can do to make it easier and use what you have to make decisions to drive your business where you want it to go.
The title of the course is "ProActive Business Planning: Simplify Your Finances and Pay Less in Taxes"
For this project, I'd like a design created for the DVD cover (eps template attached). This includes front, back and spine of the DVD case.
Additionally, I'd like a design for the disc itself which will be lasered on the DVD disc during production. It should be limited to 3 colors (eps template attached)
Job Specifics:
Design a cover for the dvd case which includes a title logo (title = ProActive Business Planning: Simplify Your Finances and Pay Less in Taxes) include the use of color, artwork or stock photos on the front cover to create the feeling of having a business coach or financial guide to help with your business. Use the Certified Tax Coach logo on the front. Try to incorporate the DVD logo somewhere on the cover (uploaded)
For the back cover of the DVD case, include a small version of the title logo, again use our company logo, the attached FBI warning, info about the course and bio of author.

To the editor: I just read the letter from Bob Watson giving thanks to his supporters. I would like to ask Mr. Watson to drive the streets of this county and collect all his campaign signs that are left to blow in the wind. I live in Milton and can attest to the fact that there are many of his signs still on the streets all over the communities of northern Strafford County. Your effort to collect these signs is appreciated.

To the editor: Parents could face summonses for absent students. What a really stupid and draconian idea to issue summonses and fines to parents who's kids are absent from school. and from what I read the fines could be $1,000. Yes $1,000 dollars! Talk about a king's highway robbery.
Hopefully this incredibly insane proposal will not become a law. Now there is a chance the Rochester cops will come to your house and start playing the role of Big Brother.
This proposal sounds like a money making scheme to me!

To the editor: Bathrooms on the Commons are a good idea! Just not now.
With headlines that include real estate tax and water and sewer increases as well as the possibility of "falling off the cliff" the costs that include building, painting, maintenance, security, cleaning, materials and policing are a luxury we cannot afford.
With an average of over a thousand police calls a week as documented by this newspaper, a better use of any overage of funds would be to have a foot patrolman with dog patrol the downtown business area helping to alleviate vandalism (art and potted plantings come to mind), chase away the hoodlums which would help generate and promote local business, make the downtown area a safer place and promote the city's good name.
Flush this bathrooms idea!

To the editor: New Hampshire's dependence on fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, is unsustainable. Reliance on energy that damages our environment and threatens public health cannot be continued. New Hampshire must turn toward energy alternatives.
Fortunately, this process has already begun. 30,000 Granite Staters currently rely on wind power to run their homes, using a clean, renewable energy. This use shows the importance of renewable energies to state residents. This does not come close to our potential. According to the National Renewable Energy Lab, wind power could supply 60% of New Hampshire homes.
This progress will only be possible if we continue legislation that supports wind power and other renewable energies. The production tax credit (PTC) and investment tax credit (ITC) both provide funds that encourage clean energy, which helps secure green jobs. However, these tax credits are due to expire at the end of the year.
I urge senators Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte to support clean energy incentives, such the renewal of the PTC and the ITC. I also ask New Hampshire residents to contact their congressmen and request that they support these measures to ensure the continued success of wind power. These tax credits will benefit New Hampshire as it looks forward to a cleaner future.

To the editor: Last May, Foster's printed a story about the "Veterans & Military Families For Obama Steering Committee." The article said that "the group will be tasked with fostering conversations in their communities about the president's 'strong record of standing up for veterans and military families.' " One member of the committee said that "he's supporting the president in part because he believes Obama will do the most to protect pensions."
I would take issue with the "president's strong record." That record, like that of so many politicians, is wrapped in rhetoric, pabulum for the masses, if you will.
When I returned from Vietnam, the warriors leaving the military wanted two things: jobs and a seamless transition from the military health care system to the Veterans Affairs [VA] health care system. I would bet that today's warriors are hoping for same thing. One can get different numbers regarding the unemployment rate for our returning warriors. It all depends on what the reporting agency's agenda is [numbers are numbers but they can certainly be manipulated to support one's position]. However, the consensus seems to be that the rate is falling. Is this a result of employers trying to do the right thing or our political "leadership" creating feel-good legislation?
"Seamless transition" to VA health care is different: For those who are interested, read the Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, GAO-11-250, issued March 2011, titled, "DoD and VA Health Care: Federal Recovery Coordination Program (FRCP) Continues to Expand but Faces Significant Challenges." Along with the FRCP, there is DoD's Recovery Care Coordination Program. The sad, unvarnished truth, however, is that after decades of political posturing, this seamless transition still does not exist. If President Obama cared, if he REALLY "stood up for veterans and military families," he would fix this by calling in Secretary of Defense Panetta & the Secretary of the Department of VA, former Chief of Staff of the Army Shinseki, and say, "Gentlemen, this problem has gone on long enough. You two have six months to fix it. If you can't do it, I will find two people who will." [Some sage once said "there is nothing that concentrates the human mind like the prospect of a hanging."]
As a side note, the FY2013 President's Budget [PB] submission to Congress called for big cuts in the military budget, especially in active/retired health care. Before voting, I strongly encourage the military community to go out on the web and find out for themselves what cuts the President wants!
The PB is a wish list. Congress, not the President, authorizes and appropriates money. For those seeking "protection of pensions," I would suggest going to the other end of Pennsylvania Ave!

Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters. In contrast with normal programs, the parameters of a generic programs are often quite rich in structure. For example they may be other programs, types or type constructors, class hierarchies, or even programming paradigms. Generic programming techniques have always been of interest, both to practitioners and to theoreticians, but only recently have generic programming techniques become a specific focus of research in the functional and object-oriented programming language communities. This working conference will bring together leading researchers in generic programming from around the world, and feature papers capturing the state of the art in this important emerging area. We welcome contributions on all aspects, theoretical as well as practical, of generic programming, aspect-oriented programming, polytypic programming, adaptive object-oriented programming, generic components, and so on. SUBMISSION Full papers should be submitted in Postscript or pdf format by e-mail to reach firstname.lastname@example.com by February 16, 2002. The details of the submission procedure can be found at http://www.generic-programming.nl/wcgp/submit.html Although there is no page limit, submissions should strive for brevity and clarity.

The Indians received the opening kickoff and Pablin Olivares' kick was fielded at the J'ville 32 with no return, and the home team set up shop for their first offensive possession. The Indians managed one first down, but Carter McCown was forced to punt the pigskin away on the next series. He boomed a 52-yarder into the end zone, and Gilmer set up shop on their 20 for their first offensive possession.
The Buckeyes were able to manage only two yards in three downs and Tanner Barr hit a 34-yard punt down to the J'Ville 44. The Homecoming crowd at the antiquated Tomato Bowl got excited quickly on the possession, as McCown led his team 56 yards to the end zone in only three plays, and took only 51 seconds off the first quarter clock. The first play was a 23-yard run by Datavion Thacker, the second play was a 32-yard pass from McCown to Claude Franklin and the score came on a 1-yard run by Trent Sansom. Ryan Travis added the PAT, and with 8:19 left in the opening period the Indians led 7-0.
Kris Boyd took the ensuing kick at the Gilmer 12 and returned it out to the 27, beginning the first scoring drive for the Bucks. It took only 1:46 and five plays for Barr to lead his team the 73 yards to end zone. He hit Jaidon Parrish for a gain of 13, followed that up with a 19-yard completion to Chase Tate, and then hit Desmond Pollard for a gain of 25. Jamel Jackson was dropped for a 5-yard loss on a run on the next play, and then Barr hit Pollard from 21 yards out for the TD with 6:55 left in the opening stanza. Olivares split the uprights and the score was tied 7-7.
The Tribe managed one first down on their next possession thanks to a personal foul against Gilmer, but the Black Flag Defense shut the door on the next series and a punt by McCown to the Gilmer 30 was returned to the 47 by DeVondrick Dixon, and the Bux were back in business again.
It took only four plays and 1:05 for Barr to lead the offense into the end zone again and give the visitors a lead they would never relinquish. Darrian Lewis rushed for 7 on the first play. Barr followed that up with a 21-yard completion to Parrish, then finished the drive by dialing up his own number for gains of 14 and 11 into the end zone. Olivares was true on the extra point and Gilmer le14-7 with 4:14 left in the first quarter.
After Stacy Cummings returned the ensuing Olivares kick 20 yards out to the Indian 36, McCown led his troops onto the field again. This time the Black Flag forced a three-and-out, and Tate returned the 36-yard punt 8 yards out to his 38, setting the offense up again.
This time it took seven plays and 1:37 for the offense to move the 62 yards to pay dirt. Key plays were a 9-yard run by Kris Boyd that ended with a 15-yard personal foul call against Jacksonville, a 13-yard pass from Barr to Parrish, and the score which came on an 11-yard run by Jackson with 1:30 left in the first quarter. Jackson ran in the 2-point conversion, and the score moved to 22-7.
Tony Lane took the next kick at his 15 and advanced it to the 23. McCown hit Sansom for a gain of 17 on third-and-ten, but the Black Flag shut the door on the next series and McCown hit a 45-yard punt down to the Gilmer 10. There was no return, but the Bucks were flagged for a personal foul, moving the ball back to the 5.
The Buckeyes then mounted their longest scoring drive of the season yardage-wise on the possession. They took 10 plays and 3:34 off the second quarter clock to move the 95 yards into the end zone. The score came on a 20-yard pass from Barr to Parrish with 8:06 left in the half. The 2-point conversion attempt by DeMarco Boyd was no good, but the blowout was on with Gilmer up 28-7.
The next Indian drive began at the J'ville 23, but after picking up two first downs, the Black Flag go the job done. McCown and the offense went for it on fourth down, but a pass fell incomplete, and the Buckeyes were on the offensive again at the J'ville 49.
It took only two plays and 29 seconds for the offense to find the end zone yet again. Barr hit Parrish for a gain of 26 on the first play, and found Quinn Fluellen from 23 yards out for the score on the next play. Olivares kicked the PAT and the lead was 35-7 with 5:29 left until halftime.
Gilmer had been called for a dead ball personal foul before the extra point and that penalty was assessed on the kickoff. Olivares booted the ball deep to the Indian 25 where it was muffed by Tony Lane. He recovered for a loss of three at his 22, but it was another three-and-out for McCown and the offense. Ryan Travis punted down to the Gilmer 37 and Dixon returned the ball out to the Indian 48.
This time it took only 17 seconds and two plays for Barr to lead the offense into the end zone again. Lewis ran for eight on the first play and Barr hit Tate for a 40-yard TD on the next play. Gilmer was penalized five yards for a false start prior to the Olivares extra point attempt and the kick was no good, but the score was now 41-7.
Things only got worse for the Indians from there. After returning the kickoff out to the J'ville 32, McCown lost five on a third-and-four and fumbled the ball away to Brian Restine, and Gilmer was back on the offensive again at the Indian 27. Just two plays and 29 seconds later, Barr had his charges in the end zone again. He connected with Pollard for a gain of 24 on the first play and Dixon ran in for the touchdown from three yards out on the next play. The PAT by Olivares was wide left, and with 2:34 left in the half Gilmer led 47-7.
After the next kick the Indians began on their 19. They managed one first down, but then McCown was intercepted on first down by Dakeilen Nelson and returned the pick to the J'ville 28 to end the half.
The Indians got a break on the second half kickoff, as the ball bounced off a Buckeye and was recovered by Tommy Simmons at the Gilmer 41. Jacksonville did nothing with the possession though, as the Black Flag rose to the occasion. A McCown pass on fourth down fell incomplete, and Gilmer took back over on their 34.
Barr led the offense to yet another score on the possession. The 66-yard drive took three plays and only 1:15. Kris Boyd rushed for eight on the first play. Barr hit Parrish for a gain of 24 on the next play, and Boyd ran into the end zone from 32 yards out on the third play with 9:29 left in the third quarter. Olivares nailed the PAT and Gilmer led 54-7.
The decision to show mercy was made after the score and the clock ran continuously after that point, including during the Gilmer extra point. After an Olivares kickoff into the end zone with no return, the Tribe set up on their 25 with 6:33 left in the third quarter.
Coach Jeff Traylor began multiple substitutions on defense at that point and the J'ville starters managed a 7-play, 75-yard drive that took 3:53 on the possession. The score came on a 31-yard pass from McCown to Claude Franklin. The PAT was good as the third quarter ended, and the score was 54-14.
John McPherson returned the kickoff from his 28 out to the 37, and Barr and the offense began what would be the final Gilmer score of the game. It took only two plays and 59 seconds to tally the final TD. Barr threw to Korie Frazier for a gain of one, and then DeMarco Boyd ran for a 62-yard score with 10:54 left in the laugher. There was a bad snap on the PAT attempt resulting in the Bucks missing the kick, but the score was 60-14.
Lane returned the final Olivares kickoff of the night from his 17 out to his 31. By this time, several third team players were on the field against the Indian starters. Jacksonville managed one last meaningless score, but they took 11 plays and the remainder of the non-stop clock to get their final tally. The score came on a 2-yard run by Braylon Parish. The point-after kick was partially blocked and was no good as the game ended with a 60-20 blowout Gilmer win for the third week in a row.
It was a happy Coach Traylor we spoke with after the game. "The kids were very mature and we had a lot of adjustments this week and a lot of change, but the kids were locked in and ready to go and I'm very proud of them. I've very worried that we haven't gotten to play four full quarters for two of our three games. Prestonwood we played all four quarters, which is great, but the schedule of ours with Gladewater and Chapel Hill, those guys are going to challenge us late in the game, so we're going to get really conditioned and get in the weight room and try to get ready for those 4-quarter ball games we've got coming down the road."
The coach also had some words of caution for Buckeye fans. "We've got to be very careful—our crowd, we can't keep blowing our kids' heads up so much. They're not going to work hard if everyone keeps telling them they're not ever going to lose. You can beat yourself; 11 on 0 we can get beat. We've lost games in the past that we shouldn't have lost. We have to be careful. We want to brag on our kids; we love our kids, but the words we tell them, we need to keep the perspective on all this."
We asked about the night Jaidon Parrish had, as it seemed he was open all night long. "A lot of other guys have been getting the ball, so they tried to stop them, so it was his turn. That's what happens in the spread offense—wait your turn and your night will come."
We also asked his thoughts about the upcoming Gilmer Homecoming this Friday night against the Daingerfield Tigers. "I don't anything; I take them one week at a time. The quarterback came to our camp. I know he's a great player. They always play us hard. That's why I like to play those guys. They get after us every year, so we expect a great game Friday. We'll be ready for them."
We closed our interview with the coach asking his thoughts about the big 100th anniversary halftime celebration that will honor former players and coaches on the field. "We've got 85 men coming back from 1944 up. We're going to have barbeque for anybody who played for Gilmer and we're going to honor one person from each class all the way up. 100 years is a pretty big deal. The next hundred years we won't be here!"
We want to encourage all Buckeye fans to make it to Buckeye Stadium early Friday night for
Homecoming festivities. Also, we need to do a much better job of filling the orange seats on the home side. PLEASE make sure to be IN your seat, but if for some reason you are not able to do so, make sure to sell your seats to someone so that ALL the orange seats are taken. We had a large number of Gilmer fans who were forced to sit on the Prestonwood side for that game due to the fact that general admission was full and the home side gates were closed. We could have accommodated all those fans on the home side if everyone had been a good steward and sold their orange seat tickets if they weren't going to be at the game. Please make sure to be there or sell your seats for Friday night!

Frantic fashionistas (yes, okay, myself included) waited in line for hours in London this morning in hopes of snagging the latest must-have designer bag. The I'm Not A Plastic Bag by Anya Hindmarch has been spotted the arm of Keira Knightley, it has an eco friendly message and wait for it… costs just £5 (or $10)!!! So off I go, at 9:30 AM, and I see a crowd of 300 or so people standing in the freezing cold outside the Knightsbridge store, yikes! With only a limited number on sale I decided to hot foot it to the department store Harvey Nichols and got there just in time to see a crowd running (yes, actually running) through the front doors. Walking through the store's designer bag department amongst the Mulberry's and Chloe's seemed ironic but it was worth it, as bag in hand, I leave the store, triumphant . . . after all I have to do my bit for the environment, right? — Monique Jessen

The Health Lottery manages 51 society lotteries that operate in rotation and each represents a different geographical region of Great Britain. The 51 society lotteries are run for one specific purpose: tackling health inequalities in their respective areas. Many millions of pounds have been raised for these good causes which are awarded by each local society and their partner charity, the People's Health Trust. Without the money raised through The Health Lottery most would not get the support they need. The Health Lottery is still only £1.

Which mother are they referring too?
The mother clear light?
What was the context of the teaching?
Words have different meanings in different
disciplines do they not?
Lhug-Pa wrote:True indeed.Nighthawk wrote:The first quote in his sig is definitely not factually wrong. It may be hard to digest but based on a lot of history it's very factual.
In response to MalaBeads:
Haha. That's good. Women and men should have sex with each other a lot more. It would relieve a lot of tension in this world. Not everyone can stay strictly celibate and maintain chastity with daily constant Yoga, Meditation, and Pranayama practice alone.
Yangtso, it's said that everyone has been our mother in some life. So what then, no one should ever sex at all? I'm not saying that all practitioners should get promiscuous, but not everyone is a dedicated practitioner.
Virgo, in looking at the second quote in my sig:
The ancestors of the contemporary Irish could very well have driven out melanated people who were already in Ireland from Ireland. A Nation of Islam/Nation of Gods and Earths member who studied the Buddha Dharma did a lot of research on this, using Godfrey Higgins' writings and other old Masonic writings for some of his references. The Masons have always been sitting on a wealth of information and knowledge that's not readily accessible to ordinary conventional profane/vulgar scholars."The religion of Buddha, of India, is well known to have been very ancient. In the most ancient temples scattered throughout Asia, where his worship is yet continued, he is found black as jet, with the flat face, thick lips, and curly hair of the Negro."
"Stonehenge...temple of the black, curly-headed Buddha." - Master Mason Godfrey Higgins
Anyway, the said quote by Manly P. Hall was actually written in the 1930's I believe, decades before Communist China invaded Tibet.
Anyhow, Chinese secularist Communism is mainly influenced by a Caucasian (that is, a Zionist known as Karl Marx, see: Moses Mordecai Marx Levy).
The said Manly P. Hall quote works for contemporary times though, seeing that a lot of corny white people are over-running Buddhism and trying to make it into some sort of silly politically correct secularist modernism.

Isn't it amazing how much can be said within a little rectangular 2-dimensional space? And there are still people who want to argue that photography is not art!

Hollywood Continues To Make Up Facts; AP Continues To Parrot Them
from the evidence-please? dept
A year in the making, the coalition to fight film piracy in India will work with movie theaters to crack down on camcorder piracy -- the source of 90 percent of all pirated DVDs -- with police to tighten enforcement, with Internet service providers to fight Internet piracy and with politicians to create more effective laws.With these big professional reporters, you might think they would try to fact check a claim like "90% of all "pirated" DVDs come from camcorded movies." They might have trouble doing that, because the actual research suggests something quite different. A study that we wrote about a few years ago found otherwise. Specifically, it found that "77% appear to have been leaked originally by industry insiders."
But, of course, we need to save the AP, because they do real fact checking, right?


text: We all make mistakes, but sometimes as parents we think we need to appear perfect. Perfection is hard for a child to measure up to, especially when we're not really perfect in the first place. I think it's important to show our children that we make mistakes and to then either show them or talk about how you fix your mistakes. If we try to be perfect in our kids' eyes, we create an illusion that can't ever be matched. When we acknowledge our mistakes and demonstrate how we react and respond to them, we teach our children that mistakes happen but what's important is what we do afterward.

Acclaimed Guitarist, Folk Vocalist Mulvey in Concert Tonightby Karen Handley • March 24, 2006 Share:
Wabash College's Visiting Artists Series will present Peter Mulvey in Concert, 8 p.m., Friday, March 24, in Salter Concert Hall in the Fine Arts Center.
Peter Mulvey's nine solo release, The Knuckleball Suite (Signature Sounds) is a collection of 13 new songs that aptly display why he has, over the length of his extensive career has been compared to such heavyweights as Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman, and others.
Critical acclaim has been consistent and enthusiastic over the years. The Washington Post says: "The subtle power of his voice, a husky, hushed baritone... understated, at once sophisticated and intimate... as cover-worthy as Randy Newman, Elvis Costello, and Dar Williams."
Mulvey began as a self-described "city kid" from Milwaukee, Wisc. He played, wrote, and sang in bands while studying theatre at Marquette University. After graduating, he traveled to Ireland, where he learned the trade of busker on the streets of Dublin. Returning to the U.S. a few years later, he settled in Boston, building an audience through street and subway performing, while also immersing himself in the thriving musical community. Since his 2000 release The Trouble with Poets, Mulvey has found a home with the venerable indie label Signature Sounds Recordings. His most recent albums for the Massachusetts label were the 2004 release Kitchen Radio, the 2003 collaborative Redbird album (with label-mates Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault), and his 2001 CD, Ten Thousand Mornings, an album of cover songs recorded entirely in the subways of Boston.
Always looking for ways to further immerse himself in language, art, and music, Mulvey has also scored music for theatre and modern dance, and has had numerous songs featured in film and television including various WB programs and PBS documentaries.
Seating for Visiting Artists Series events will be by general admission, though free tickets are required for Visiting Artists Series programs.
Contact the Fine Arts Center Box Office by phone: 765-361-6411. The box office will open 90 minutes before curtain time for Visiting Artists events.
