I've made this little quilt using the gamecocks quilt block and I rather like the way that it has come together. the quilt is 402 square and I have made it using 1.1/4 yards of white fabric, 3/4 yard of dark green and just 5″ across the width of fabric of the light green fabric.
Cutting requirements
2.1/2″ squares: one hundred and twelve white, eighty dark green
2.7/8″ squares: thirty two in both dark green and white
4.1/2″ squares: four white
sixteen 4,1/2″ by 6.1/2″ white rectangles, sixteen 4.1/2″ by 2.1/2″ light green rectangles
Making the quilt
All the 2.7/8″ squares are used to make half square triangles. Lay a green and a white square with right sides together and mark a line along the diagonal. Sew a 1/4″ seam either side of the marked line and cut along the line. This will produce two half square triangle units.
Each gamecocks quilt block requires one of the blocks shown in each corner. You will need sixteen of these for the four blocks in the quilt pattern. Each of these corners uses seven white squares, five dark green squares and four half square triangles. Sew the squares together across each row and the sew the rows together.
The strip between all the corners of the block is made by sewing together a white 6.1/2″ by 4.1/2″ white rectangle and a light green 4.1/2″ by 2.1/2″ rectangle. Make sixteen of these.
Lay each quilt block out with four corner blocks, four of the joining strips and one 4.1/2″ white square in the middle. Note that the corner squares are rotated so that the dark green square in the corner is always nearest the centre.
Sew the squares together across each row and then sew the rows together. Make four of these quilt blocks and sew them togethr in two pairs. Sew the pairs together to complete the gamecocks quilt top. Full details of the steps for finishing a quilt can be found towards the end of the beginner quilting section.

On Aril 30th, we set out to raise money for my public sculpture project, 'Looking Aft,' by creating the event that we, ourselves, would like to attend. Very quickly, it realized a greater purpose and became a vehicle to make Art of all shapes, genres and sizes more accessible for the people of Nakusp and beyond.
Art has a very weird currency at Art Party. We are openly operating on an exploitation system. Exploit many artists (they share their work for free) and the public (we take their money) in order to fund the projects we want to see. Many talented artists may not have the schooling, writing skills, or experience to solidify their project dreams through grants. Now the major art funders don't get to be the only ones making decisions about what we experience as Art on a daily basis in Nakusp.
In my artist statement for 'Looking Aft,' I reference teamwork. It has taken a lot of teamwork to keep pushing this project. Now that we have tied up an event and your experiences to it, you are part of that team.
You can't throw an Art Party by yourself; there are too many facets to a great event. The power to create, and the impact it has, grows with the variety of strengths, opinions, and experiences of those involved. I could not have made this idea a reality without these Beautiful Dreamers. Women who say "this is how we can do it" not " here's why that won't work" - Jackie Phillipson, Autumn Grossutti, Ali Raskob, Kish Peterson, Cassia Parent, and Christa Rebman, your skills, support, and laughter go a long way towards changing the face of our little village. Art equals Culture equals Tourism equals Money. Our town can only benefit from a raised awareness and a new approach to the Arts.
Everyone that helped build Art Party, by contributions and/or presence, now has a hand in the public art we want to give to you. It's a gifting circle. We have an Art Party … you bring us your money … we melt your brains. We take that money, commission an artist and pay them properly to produce a work for the public that melts your brains. We have an Art Party, you bring us your money …. We can fundraise by supporting, exploiting, encouraging, and celebrating our artists, and now the public is funding public art in Nakusp.
So, when you finally see 'Looking Aft,' remember that it was built from many friends, so many hands, with love, loving it, for you.

Clayton State University President Dr. Thomas Hynes will be part of the Atlanta Regional Commission's 19th annual LINK trip, this year visiting the city of Toronto.
Starting in 1997, delegations of Atlanta leaders have been going to different cities in North America to learn about how other regions cope with many of the same issues that the Atlanta region has been facing. This year's trip is going to Toronto because, according to Doug Hooker, executive director of the Atlanta Regional Commission, "If you want to be world class, you have to go to a world class city and see what it looks like."
Previous visits by Atlanta regional business and civic leaders have gone to Boston, Houston, Denver, Washington, D.C., Seattle, Chicago and Vancouver. The 2015 LINK trip, which will go to Toronto from May 6 to May 9, will be only the second one outside the United States.
"This is a great time for Atlanta to Toronto because we are beginning to have more conversations about transit in the region, about diversity in the region, and we have been wrestling with our need for more regional cooperation," says Hooker. "These are all issues where we feel we can learn from Toronto's failures and successes."
Among the regional leaders traveling to Toronto with Hynes will be several members of the board of the Georgia Department of Transportation; a half dozen county chairs, including Clayton County's Jeff Turner, presidents of the region's top chambers of commerce, including Metro Atlanta Chamber's Hala Moddelmog, and Georgia State University President Dr. Mark Becker.

Don't solve problems with more rules. Take a quick look at many school's code of conduct, and I'm sure you can look at some of the rules and think, "Someone did something to create that rule." Instead, look at patterns of behaviors and situations, and ask how adults can change their behavior to create the conditions that would make it easier for students to meet expectations. A simple example – every year, we notice that students are starting to stretch the time in between classes. Rather than make draconian rules, we make it a point of being at the door, greeting students. And teachers who aren't teaching that band make a point of being in the halls at the change of classes. And every year, we forget… and we see the problem again, and we tighten up our own behaviors.
There is so much power in simple rules. Our school rules are "Be Safe. Be Respectful. Be Responsible." If your doing something that is not one of those things, we have a discussion. Usually we ask, "Is that being safe? What would it look like to do that safely?" It is very effective.

I've made homemade bagels before. They were delicious. I wanted to make them again. But not the same ones.
So, I began scouring blogs for good bagels and kept running across recipes for bagels that started the dough in the bread maker. I was intrigued. I was also a little worried that they wouldn't turn out well. They turned out great. I'm not sure making the dough in the bread maker simplified the recipe all that much. The only change I made to the recipe was that I used half regular and half whole wheat flour.
Here are some pictures from the process:
In the bread maker:
Bagel toppings. Everything and rosemary/sea salt:
Top those bagels!

Home | About Santa Speaking | About Anne Gaskell | Santa Claus Headquarters | Facts | Images | News & Story Ideas | Five Ways to Get on the Nice List | Questions to Ask | Media Coverage | Contact |
The holidays are upon us! SantaSpeaking.com is tailor-made for holiday stories. Consider some of the following suggestions, or please contact us with specific requests or questions.
1. Witness a Live Call. You could talk with a parent/adult who has ordered a call, or a child who has received one. We can also arrange for you to be present when a child actually receives a call live - this would best capture the child's excitement receiving a personal phone call from Santa! View testimonials. Listen to a Sample Call! (MP3)
2. Santa goes high-tech. The days of sending Santa a letter via snail-mail are behind us! Kids are e-mailing, IMing and texting one another - why shouldn't they be able to do the same with Santa? SantaSpeaking.com offers a blog from Santa, updates on his whereabouts Christmas Eve, and serves as a scheduling center for personal phone calls and letter requests. Kids can even send him an e-mail.
3. What are kids asking for this year? SantaSpeaking.com gets the dirt directly from kids and their parents - what are this year's top requests? What are some of the more strange requests? What are some of the most heart-warming requests? Anne Gaskell (Elf Annie) can provide humorous, informative and touching details on what kids are asking for this Christmas.
4. Preserving the spirit of Santa Claus. The image of Santa has been trivialized in society - from movies like "Bad Santa," to the mall Santas who just don't put their hearts into the job. Kids are looking for the Santa of 34th Street and the Santa from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. How has Santa changed over the years and what are people like Anne Gaskell doing about it?
5. Keeping their Eye on the Prize: ways parents can still use Santa's naughty/nice list to encourage good grades and good behavior. There was a time when the mere mention of Santa's "list" struck fear in the hearts of children from September until Christmas Eve. Do parents still use Santa to motivate better behavior? Do kids take the list seriously anymore? (note: a great tie-in with this would be those hysterical Calvin & Hobbs comics about Santa's list).
6. For the kid that has everything: a phone call from Santa! SantaSpeaking.com's live phone calls from Santa are an ideal gift for children. The calls are not very expensive and the memories last forever. A personal call from Santa belongs on every "gift guide" list.

text: Frequently Asked Question: "What were some of the highlights of your periodontal residency program at the University of Florida?" It was great. At the University of Florida, in my residency program, I was able to do a lot of research, a lot of studies on different subjects. I also received my master's degree in oral and maxillofacial pathology and sciences. I did get to publish a study regarding specific receptor cells in the epithelium and their involvement with the progression and onset of periodontal disease, and that was very neat.From a clinical perspective, I feel that UF was actually the best program in the country. We had a lot of major cases from all over the southeastern United States, a lot of multidisciplinary cases. We got a great overall spectrum of different treatment planning, whether it be through bone augmentation, soft tissue development, implant placements, IV sedation, and everything else. It was a great program. In addition to our clinical training and research background, we also had intensive studies in IV sedation. Our training was done through the College of Medicine as well as through the Department of Anesthesiology. Having that background of knowledge for IV sedation is very important. It allows me to treat my patients that are very anxious and scared to have procedures performed. We are able to put them in a relaxed state during the procedure where they almost feel like they are taking a nap throughout.

|Subprefecture of Ipiranga
Ipiranga (Portuguese pronunciation: [ipiˈɾɐ̃ɡa], from the Tupi (y, river; pirang, red) for "red river") is an historical district located in the subprefecture of the same name of São Paulo, Brazil.[1] The name Ipiranga comes from the river (which now is a brook) of the same name located in the region, which means "red river" in a Tupí–Guaraní language. The Independence Park (Parque da Independência), where supposedly the Emperor Pedro I of Brazil proclaimed the independence of Brazil, the Paulista Museum, which exhibits classic architecture and a collection of Brazilian colonial artifacts, and the Museum of Zoology of the University of São Paulo, are also located in Ipiranga.
The Ipiranga Brook is perhaps one of the most famous Brazilian brooks, because it is mentioned in the very first line of the Brazilian National Anthem.
The region near the Tamanduateí River had industrial characteristics, to the point where buses and trams heading there had the destination labeled "Factory". The area next to Nazaré Avenue, in contrast, is filled with mansions of wealthy families and a number of colleges, like Unesp and São Camilo, and workers of the factorys houses.
The commercial center of Ipiranga concentrates on Silva Bueno Street. There are banks, clothes stores and grocery stores like the famous Chocolândia.
In 2007, this neighborhood was served with the installation of a new metro whose station is named Alto do Ipiranga. It is located at Gentil de Moura Street and connects passengers with the green line of São Paulo Metro. Paulista Avenue - one of the most important avenues in São Paulo - is about 5 or 6 stations distant from Alto do Ipiranga depending on the precise destination.

JOHANNESBURG, September 1 – The 35-year-old man who was on the run after allegedly shooting and killing a female traffic officer and her mother has handed himself over to the Dennilton police in Limpopo, police said in a statement on Friday.
South African Police Services spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Moatshe' Ngoepe, said the man was accompanied by his lawyer Thursday night when he handed himself over.
"During the process of detaining him ,he was found in possession of a firearm with one magazine without ammunition but the deceased traffic officer's firearm, magazine and ammunition are still missing. The determination on whether this recovered firearm is the one which was used to kill the two deceased and whether it is licensed or not, is still to be done through the ongoing police investigations."
Ngoepe said that it was alleged the suspect confronted the traffic officer Kotelo Tshepi, 26, who was reportedly his girlfriend, and her mother, Makitla Chileki, 62, at the Malaeneng Section in Ntwane village, in Limpopo, and shot them, before fleeing the scene.
"The police were summoned, reacted swiftly, and on arrival at the scene, the two deceased were found lying inside the their house with multiple gun shot wounds through their bodies. The police preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect is a boyfriend to the deceased traffic officer and that he fled the scene with a Toyota Conquest, green in colour, which was later found abandoned near Siyabuswa filling station."
Ngoepe said the motive behind the incident was still unknown but domestic violence would not be ruled out.
The man will appear before the Dennilton Magistrate's Court on two counts of murder soon.
Investigations are still continuing.

Life Settlement Plans: Top Client Concerns
When you choose brokers or providers for settlement of life insurance, there will always be one person who will collect your information. While brokers can be expensive, you can enlist the help of a settlement provider who will do the same task for an affordable rate, with no added commission.
It is known that people can be quite doubtful about the life settlements and other settlement options life insurance. As the market has become saturated with information, regarding the benefits of selling your life insurance policy, the perception of life settlement plans is beginning to change. Although this does not mean that customers are 100% doubt free, they still seem to have some concerns before they decide on life settlement plans.
In this article, I have listed the three common concerns clients usually have with life settlement plans and how to deal with each of them.
In any given time, life settlements are meant to provide relief to the insurer when he/she decides to sell it off; but, one the primary reasons people tend to hesitate in selling their life insurance policy is because of the exorbitant rates that are quoted as the brokers' commission.
When potential clients seek out brokers, they tend to quote high rates that will include their commission as well. Some even charge more than what your life settlement would cost. This has created a doubt in the life settlement market, claiming it to be an expensive alternative when it isn't. Thus, it is best to seek out the help of a licensed professional life settlement provider who will not overcharge you and will guide you through the process, from start to finish. Over time, many changes have taken place, and this is proof on why life settlement providers become a preferred choice for potential clients.
When you decide to sell your life insurance, you have to provide specific personal information; this includes a medical history and all the information contained in your life insurance policy that has to be disclosed. After you sell your life insurance, you may get calls from your provider seeking information about your current health status. Since the providers deal with private information, you are ensured that it will remain confidential.
To make sure that your providers ensure that the service is confidential, always check for the privacy policy clause in your settlement claims and that the agency is licensed and certified.

Many customers feel insecure about this since they fear of getting harmed by the investors who might plan to get the policy benefits early. This is why insurance policies are sold to an investor in bulk. Hence, an investor will not get benefits from just your policy, while this is an effort to reduce the risk, to date, there has not been any foul play reported.
However, to be safe, make sure there is a mediator when selling your insurance policy and avoid selling it directly to the investor. Life settlement providers can be trusted since they are licensed and verified by the state.

Save Moorgate Old School!
Moorgate's old school buildings in Hospital Street, Tamworth, Staffordshire, UK are at risk.
"...an educational palace..."
Tamworth Herald - 12th February 1898
Moorgate Primary Academy recently moved into new purpose-built accommodation leaving the owners, Staffordshire County Council, to consider options for disposal of the site which forms a key part of Hospital Street Local Conservation Area.
We believe the buildings must be protected as a vital part of Tamworth's architectural heritage and be used to provide a much-needed resource for the local community.
The Victorian school buildings were opened in 1898 and originally housed the Boys Central School for Tamworth and, later, Mercian Boys Secondary Modern School until its move to Ashby Road in 1960. The buildings then housed Moorgate Primary School until 2015, when the school left the Staffordshire County Council family of schools to become an academy and moved into new purpose-built accommodation at the top end of the school playing fields.
Moorgate's old Victorian buildings fall within The Leys Conservation Area and are locally listed as of particular architectural and social merit by Tamworth Borough Council. Despite this, the future of the old buildings are at risk. At this time, Staffordshire County Council are looking at various options for the school buildings including sale and redevelopment of the site. Should the site fall into the hands of a private developer there would be no guarantee that redevelopment for short term financial gain might not ultimately involve demolition. However, we believe that community use of the buildings would be more likely to ensure their protection and continue to benefit our town long into the future.
Loss of the Victorian Buildings would mean another huge disaster for Tamworth's heritage. We have already lost too many historical buildings (including many former schools) to redevelopment and 'modernisation'. The loss of the building would be devastating to the local community. Not only do many local people have a strong emotional attachment to the building due to families attending the school, but it is the defining architectural feature of The Leys. Any significant change would not only adversely affect the quality of life of local residents, but it would also make a mockery of the Borough Council's Conservation Area scheme.
Additionally, Tamworth has recently lost many local community venues due to redevelopment and sale. This has left many local groups and charities without a home and without spaces to deliver support and local services which are themselves often funded by Staffordshire County Council and Tamworth Borough Council. Moorgate's old Victorian buildings could potentially meet the need for alternative accommodation and could provide a wonderful opportunity as a multi-use site for heritage, education, enterprise and more besides. Its town centre location would be a huge asset for all of these purposes.

County District Attorney's Office challenges reduced charges in fraud case
A pair of North County lenders charged with defrauding clients of up to $8 million could avoid jail time under a plea deal struck during their jury trial. However, the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday that it plans to challenge a judge's decision to reduce their convictions from felonies to misdemeanors.
"I can't think of any scenario where a case with $8 million claimed in restitution could reasonably be considered misdemeanor conduct," said District Attorney Dan Dow.
Rodney Virgil Jarmin, 75, and Tammy Marian Jordan, 53, were each charged in May 2011 with seven felony counts of selling securities by means of false statements or omissions, with five enhancements.
As attorneys were selecting a jury for their trial Wednesday afternoon, the defendants agreed to plead guilty to all seven charges, Dow said. Then, Superior Court Judge Donald Umhofer reduced the charges to misdemeanors and dismissed the enhancements.
Pierre Blahnik, Jordan's attorney, could not be reached for comment Thursday. Robert Sanger, who represents Jarmin, said he could not comment on a pending case.
The prosecution did not object to the reduction at the time.
However, the District Attorney's Office met with Umhofer and the defense attorneys in the judge's chambers to discuss the reduction Thursday. The prosecution is expected to formally file a motion challenging the decision Friday afternoon, said Assistant District Attorney Lee Cunningham.
Attorneys on both sides have ordered transcripts of the plea hearing to determine how the plea occurred.
The defendants were stakeholders in Real Property Lenders, a mortgage loan brokerage business that solicited lenders and borrowers for high-interest loans secured by real estate.
"Hard money" lenders provide money to borrowers more quickly than banks but at higher interest rates, typically about 12 percent to 14 percent. The lenders pool investor money into securities backed by real estate deeds and are considered a high-risk/high-return investment.
According to a circular filed with the Department of Corporations in 2007, Real Property Lenders had more than $55 million worth of real estate loans.
In 2009, the state's Department of Real Estate accused Jarmin and Jordan of misrepresenting facts, fraud and dishonest dealings.
After a local investigation, the San Luis Obispo District Attorney's Office charged them with the seven criminal counts in May 2011. According to the prosecution, the pair acted illegally when they failed to disclose to investors that the builders they had worked with had defaulted on loans and that previous investors had not been paid dividends.
The defendants have also been targeted with multiple lawsuits with allegations that included misrepresentation, fraud and breach of contract. After they were arrested, their assets were frozen, according to civil court records, and have remained frozen pending criminal charges.
Under the plea, according to court records, Jordan would have to pay $7,500 in restitution. Jarmin would have to pay $107,200 in restitution.
The District Attorney's Office says restitution should be $8 million to roughly 100 victims.
Opening statements in the trial were expected to begin next week. The trial was expected to last until July or August.

Words by Oliver Marshall
Physical comedy duo Zach and Viggo had a pretty special 2016 winning awards such as the Best comedy award plus the Critics Choice award at the Brighton Fringe. They also sold out every performance for their show ThunderFlop at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe.
These accolades and achievement are well deserved, but to describe Zach and Viggo's show ThunderFlop is harder than it may seem. Even Zach Zucker and Viggo Venn themselves, along with their director Jonny Woolley, struggled to describe it.
"This is a question we have a lot of trouble answering," said director Johnny.
"It's like controlled chaos, and pure anarchy, but fun, if it goes well" said Zach.
However, Viggo may have provided the most apt description.
"It's like if Mr Bean was part of Monty Python."
The group are currently in Perth for Fringe Fest and will also be coming down for this year's Adelaide Fringe. Zach is American and Johnny in Canadian, whilst Viggo is Norwegian, so some of what goes on here in Australia is a little foreign.
"The first day [in Perth] the neighbour shouted out from her balcony, 'hey guys how are you', and then the next day we helped her carry furniture out of her house. She's coming to our show on Monday," laughed Viggo.
Asking someone to help move your furniture after knowing them for a day is pretty Australian, but Zach had a different yet still very Australian experience.
"We were hanging at our venue the other day and this one guy tapped us on the shoulder, he was holding a beer and our poster, and was like 'oi mate is this you?' He looked at it, took a drag of his cigarette and then burned a hole through my face."
The boys have been travelling a lot lately and that inevitably means dealing with the hassle of going through security, which no one likes, especially Viggo due to sometimes accidentally pronouncing Z sounds as S due to English being his second language.
"When we went to Los Angeles the first time I was so nervous going through security because it takes so much time to get into America. I said that I was meeting Sack Sucker [Zach Zucker] and the security guy was just cracking up."
It didn't help much that Viggo said he met this 'Sack Sucker' at clown school, which is entirely true.
All three met at Ecole Philippe Gaulier school outside of Paris; a performing arts school famous for producing clowns. This background helps to explain much of Zach and Viggo's show ThunderFlop.
"We did Greek tragedy, we did Shakespeare, we had a loose theatre education, its not very academic but it was all about going on stage and trying stuff. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. You did learn to listen to the audience and know when it's not good and know when you need to change," said Johnny.
These skills are helpful considering Zach and Viggo never rehearse in the true sense of the word.
"A lot of stuff we just kind of stumble on when we are talking and we throw it out on stage and see how it goes and just try and refine it until every bit of it is funny," said Zach.
"We've never had a rehearsal," Johnny said.
Rehearsals or not it seems to be working for them; even the King of Sweden wants a piece of the action.
"We are also waiting for the king of Sweden to see our show, so we are a little nervous if he's there" said Viggo.
"He wanted us to play at the inaugural ball for the Swedish prince, but we never responded" added Johnny.
"It's an inside joke in Scandinavia that Sweden is the worst. Can we go on record and say that, Sweden's the worst?" said Viggo.
Well even though the Swedish King wasn't lucky enough to see them, everybody else will be able to catch their show at the Adelaide Fringe from February 17th to March 20th. The boys are also doing solo shows at this year's Adelaide Fringe, with both featuring aspects of physical comedy and clown techniques, but with their own unique spin.

El Vy – "Return to the Moon"
I'm reviewing El Vy's debut album, Return to the Moon. It was released on October 30th on 4AD records. El Vy, r at least this album, is a project set up by Matt Berninger of the National, and Brent Knopf of Menomena and Ramona Falls.
The first track is the title track, Return to the Moon. This whole song overall is very fun and happy. The guitar riff and jumping bass lines are just excellent and really compliment each other. Another part of the song that I like are the synths and keys. They sound very spacey and fun as well. The weary vocals compliment it all very well. Overall an excellent and fun song that would sound very good live.
On to track 2, I'm the man to be. When you first listen, it sounds very spacey and somewhat creepy, with what I think is animal noises as well as what sounds like birds. The you're hit with this awesome bass riff and the magic starts happening. The heavy guitar, jumping bass line, and weary vocals are amazing. This song reminds me somewhat of the Black Keys like, straight out of Brothers, and I love me some Black Keys. The song seems to take place at a hotel with a vocal talking part in the middle. Overall, it is a very hard and rocking song with a good sound and suggestive lyrics.
Track 3, Paul is Alive. First off, I love the title of the song. I'm a huge Beatles fan so when I saw the title, I knew I had to mention it. Basically a rumor circulated in 1969 that Beatles bassist Paul McCartney died in a car crash in November of 1966 and was decapitated, and was replaced by a double that looks exactly like Paul even though he's not the actual Paul. It also says that the 3 remaining Beatles hid clues about it on the cover art or in all albums from Sgt. Pepper onward. They can be found if you do things such as playing specific songs backwards or hidden silently in the background. It will take too long to explain what he rumor is about, so just google it if you want to know more about it (although I really want to talk about it in depth though.) So about the actual song, it's really good. The song is about what I guessed, the Paul is dead rumor, or rumors in general. Its speaks about how no one can hide from rumors and trouble, thus the title, Paul is alive makes sense. Once again the bass, guitar, and lyrics are very good. A great song that's definitely worth a listen.
Track 4, Need a Friend. This song sound very cool and slick. The bass and heavily distorted guitar work well and the drums are heavy and hard hitting. The synths work well in this song, as they give it a dreamy vibe. The lyrics are a guy in a club who, needs a friend and is heartbroken and lonely. Everyone can relate to it. The song has a hard rock sound and is just great.
Track 5, Silent Ivy hotel. This song is slower, and moodier. The guitar, keys, and vocals are slower as well. They keys on this track are the best, as the mix of the organ and piano remind me of 60s music for some reason. The lyrics are about people hooking up at a hotel. The song is good overall, but the little guitar solo in the middle is probably my favorite part overall though. It also reminds me of something out of a James Bond film too. Overall a pretty decent song.
Now for track 6, No Time to Crank the Sun. This song is slower as well. The meaningful piano and walking bass lines are the best part of the song. The lyrics are about having no time to relax, instead we just have to keep moving on and how time is slipping away. The whole thing has a dream atmosphere to it and is done very well. This song is somewhat relatable and is one of the best tracks on this album.
Track 7, It's a game. This song is very dreamy and that's what it's about. Its wanting to just slip away and to go somewhere else to get out of reality for a while. I love the acoustic guitar as well as the synth, which is a sound I've never hear before. Once again this track is incredible and overall fantastic.
Track 8, Sleepin' Light. This song is funky and free flowing. The intro to this song is great. The whole thing is dreamy and has a sleeplike atmosphere to it, which is just what the lyrics are centered around. It is a radical shift from all the other songs on this album, which makes it stand out and makes it very unique from the bunch. The lyrics are about a guy who wants his girl to come back to him, and doesn't want to sleep alone. The keys are dreamlike atmospheric in nature, it hold the whole song together. This is one of the best songs on the album, it's easily in the top 3.
Next up is track 9, Sad Case. This song has a very raw, powerful, and emotional sound. It features roaring guitar, crashing drums, and a dynamic bass sound. This song to me feels very passionate and raw as stated before. It has a very good and loud sound overall. The guitar and the guitar solos are the best part of this song.
Now for track 10, Happiness, Missouri. I like the title of this one, as my dad's side of my family primarily lives there. I've been there before, and I can tell you it's a very boring and drab place overall. Like the last song, it has a loud and rocking sound. Once again it faintly reminds me of the Black Keys. Overall it is a good listen.
Last is track 11, Careless. The acoustic guitar mixes in with the strings very well. This song is a very good song to end an album. It's very emotional and powerful. I love the use of the strings. It just ads to the appeal. Once again it's just a great song.
The whole album was alright overall. I've heard from other students at this station that they think it's boring, but I beg to differ. El Vy has a good sound, although it feels like it's a solo project by Berninger. I wouldn't guess that it was two people. It can get a little repetitive or boring, but it s still enjoyable. I would give this album a 6.5/10.

Happy Tuesday! Remember, as it is Tuesday, tacos and beer are almost a must do! And if you don't, then that's ok! Because Fall is already around the corner, that only means that we are about to start seeing a lot of holiday palettes that are about to start coming out and this palette I think will become a cult classic.Behold, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush, Bronzer Powder Palette was previewed by SpaceNK and it is a palette that will most likely be part of the holiday craze that everyone will be happy to get. The palette includes a powder from their Ambient Lighting collection from bronzer to blush to the original powder. Since this is an early sneak peek preview there is not much information out on it yet, but definitely stay tune!
Oh my gosh… I kinda sorta like this… A LOT!!! I really love Hourglass's cosmetic lines, especially their Veil Primer which is freaking awesome, but I also love their highlighters, especially their blush, it just gives you that perfect rosy from within with a hint of glow that's just right for any skin tone. Plus, this palette would be perfect for strobing!!! Are you looking forward to this palette?

Of sterile flowers, poisonous weeds and a political smokescreen By Alex Steiner and Frank Brenner On Jan. 6, the WSWS carried yet another polemic against us, the second one in a week. This one came with a purple prose title, "Adam Haig responds to Alex Steiner's burst of outrage".[1]
There was no "burst of outrage" in what we wrote... Second, Haig's riposte is not only overheated in its language but also murky in its logic... Haig is indeed claiming – falsely – that we are attempting "to revise, if not replace, modern Marxism … with the pseudo-Marxist Frankfurt School." As for our real position – i.e. that "not all the work of the Frankfurt School and Marcuse is 'worthless'" – Haig simply dodges the issue with an "even if", just as he dodged it before with his remark about it being "beside the point."
Haig then tries to seal his argument with a quote from Brenner: "Marxism in the 21st century is neither conceivable nor viable without assimilating the best insights of these thinkers." But this only reiterates our position: we are not for revising Marxism but for "assimilating the best insights" of the critical theorists to it. (And the latter, by the way, includes not just Marcuse but towering intellectual figures of the last century like Walter Benjamin and Georg Lukacs.) Indeed, we are for Marxism "assimilating the best insights" from every field – science, philosophy, culture etc. Any other position amounts to a hopeless dogmatism that is totally alien to the outlook of the great classical Marxists. Read in context, it is clear that this is just what Brenner's remark was meant to say.[5]
Incidentally, in this same passage, Brenner characterizes critical theory in terms of Lenin's famous description of philosophical idealism as "a sterile flower" but one "that grows on the living tree … of human knowledge." This rather jars with the claim that we are trying to "revise, if not replace" Marxism with critical theory.
In any case, Haig sets out to prove that there is very little worth assimilating from his chosen target, Marcuse, whom he summarily characterizes as "a reactionary neo-Marxist." For Haig, Marcuse is much less "a sterile flower" than a poisonous weed, and in his first opus Haig hunts down a page-worth of quotes to prove that a key work of Marcuse's, Eros and Civilization, "adds nothing to scientific thought or socialist theory" and that it constitutes "libidinal fairy tales."
This kind of quotation-hunting is an intellectually dishonest way of proving whatever one wants to prove. Using the same method, one could show that Hegel, for example, was a hopeless reactionary – a supporter of the Prussian state, a god-believer and spinner of metaphysical "fairy tales". And one could then take Marx to task for his "eclecticism" in assimilating any ideas from such a figure (as, indeed, Eduard Bernstein, Max Eastman and many others did).
Haig is nothing if not ambitious: having set out to demolish Marcuse, he is also eager to do battle with Freud. We are told that psychoanalysis "is not an experimental or quantitative field", that Freud's "methodology" is an "ahistorical subjective idealist orientation," and then (somewhat inconsistently) that "Freudian individual psychoanalysis was based on mechanical materialism" and that it was a form of "biological determinism".[6]
While these objections shed little light on psychoanalysis (we will soon be posting some material that addresses these issues), this strident antipathy to Freud (and Marcuse) is consistent with prevailing opinion in academia. Here it is worth noting Haig's background in "literary and cultural studies", since probably no academic field has been more imbued by postmodernism than this one.[7] The postmodernist rejection of 'metanarratives' applies as much to Freud as it does to Marx. And just as relevant here is the postmodernist hostility to utopianism.[8] It isn't a huge stretch to see in the contemptuous way Haig dismisses Marcuse's "libidinal fairy tales" – which is to say, Marcuse's efforts to envision a non-repressive civilization free of the stranglehold of alienated labor – the lingering influence of his academic studies.
There is much more we could comment on (for example, Haig completely misrepresents Trotsky's argument in Results and Prospects which was aimed against the kind of "shallow moralizing" that calls for a "moral awakening" of the working class before it can come to socialist consciousness – a position that is held not by us but by David Walsh of the WSWS editorial board.[9])
And we could also point out that despite his eagerness to hit back at our brief note, Haig manages to ignore one of the three points that we made (and indeed the one we spent the most space on) – which is that when his original essay was first posted on the WSWS, it had hyperlinks to the documents of ours that he was quoting, but several hours later those hyperlinks were removed and replaced by a deliberately vague reference to "Permanent Revolution", not even indicating whether this was a book, a journal or a website. There is no reasonable explanation for this except that the WSWS editorial board did not want WSWS readers to have direct access to our material so that they could judge for themselves the validity of Haig's arguments. While Haig gets very indignant over our brief note, he has no comment on – and therefore, one has to assume, no objection to – this obvious bit of intellectual bad faith. [10]
But let us go back to something we raised earlier – the willingness of the WSWS editorial board to post this second statement of Haig's. Veteran members of that board like North or Walsh would have readily recognized this statement for what it is – an overheated expression of writer's pique by someone relatively new to polemical debate – and in the normal course of things would probably have advised against rushing into (electronic) print.
But clearly the normal course of things doesn't apply when it comes to the polemical dispute with Steiner and Brenner. Back in October, North launched his smear campaign against Steiner, with help from Ann and Chris Talbot; now Haig has been pressed into service for the same basic political agenda – which is to divert the discussion away from the criticisms we made of the IC leadership's political line.
According to Haig, we are wrong in claiming that North's series against Steiner is a smear campaign: "This is not demonization, but a well-grounded assessment of their [i.e. Steiner and Brenner's] theoretical and political conceptions." But a central part of our "political conceptions" is our critique of the IC leadership's politics: how can North (or the Talbots) have provided "a well-grounded assessment" when they never said a single word about any of these criticisms?

I was just feeding the Logan County compost canister some rich Columbia coffee. It is one of many such containers that occupy this region, no doubt.
As I thought of how these grounds have enriched my day and are now prepared to enrich the ground, an old hymn came to mind.
And, you know me: I just had to share the moment.
May your Sunday be blessed.

No additional commentary needed…
All things new?
Posted in Uncategorized on January 23, 2017| Leave a Comment »
It's been a few years since I last walked the streets of this town.
Twenty-six, to be precise.
A few things have changed along the way.
Different cars. Different jobs. Different houses. Different towns, and states, even.
There have been weddings. There have been births. There have been funerals, and the cycle starts yet again.
Several things have aged the past twenty six years, yours truly included. It seems odd to acknowledge I've lived more days since my last visit than before.
I spent a few weeks in this place early in my career auditing an insurer of military men and women. It was in the middle of one of many wars to not end all wars. There was not much going on in this downtown area back in those days, and time moved along.
So, too, did the economy. Twenty years of Texas oil, and a little couple named Chip and Joanna have been good to this place.
And yet, rail lines to nowhere still exist. So, too, does moth and rust.
But this morning, the sunrise was beautiful, as was the graceful motion of the ducks on the Brazos River.
As a song says, "He spoke and made the sunrise right on the very first day".
He makes all things new, every morning.
Even in a town older than a majestic Magnolia.
What makes you tick?

Joe: "It wasn't personal."
Kathleen: "What does that even mean?"
"Whatever else anything is, it ought to begin by being personal."
We've all seen the movie.
Or, maybe we haven't. That's OK, because we've all lived it at some point.
Whether we want to admit it or not, life is full of emotion. For good and for bad, it fuels the fires of our world.
I awoke this morning thinking about Peter, the apostle, for some reason. There was a guy, for good or for (sometimes) bad who knew how to make it personal.
Isn't that true for all of us?
There's a great story at the end of the book of John where Jesus shows up unexpectedly. I love that story for so many reasons. John is the only gospel that shares it, and it is how he chose to end his telling account of Jesus life.
Peter, for whatever reason, decides it is time to go back to fishing. With everything that had happened, who knows why they were even back in Galilee to begin with. Maybe he decided it was "time to get on with his life", but who knows for sure?
Anyway, there was adversity, an unexpected (Providential) positive turn, and a sudden realization from the protagonist.
And there was a campfire with fresh fish and bread baking over it. What a great detail to add to the story, both literally and figuratively.
I can just imagine Jesus saying "I know you've been through a lot, so let's pause and have some breakfast".
Then, long before the words could be sung like a children's tune, Jesus essentially says:
"I love you, you love me….won't you say you love me, too?"
Which brings me back to personal.
In life, what makes you tick?
Even more so, what makes you tic?
What bothers you, scares you, or gets under your skin. What makes you want to abandon the important stuff and just go back to fishing with your old crowd?
Jesus called Peter to get out of the boat once. Years later, he made him want to jump out and swim to shore.
And then, he had a warm fire and a hot breakfast waiting.
Talk about getting personal.
Stop this train?
Posted in Uncategorized on January 21, 2017| Leave a Comment »
I woke yesterday morning to a dense fog. Not a figurative fog, mind you, but the real, slowing of life's pace kind of fog.
And I drove off into the darkness, headed for the grave. As I went to sync my phone for the long journey ahead, John Mayer's "Stop this train" emerged from Pandora's box.
You can't make this stuff up, people. At least, I can't.
No, I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this, tonight
Stop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But, honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun…
I used to say to my wife "when I'm 50, let's have a big party, then just take me out and shoot me".
This is not quite what I had in mind, but it's OK.
Times change. So do the things that occupy those times.
Along this journey, there are moments of abject beauty. The darkness is punctuated by brilliant stars and a brightly gleaming moon. To borrow a phrase, the sun also rises, along the way, casting a rich palate of pink and orange and blue, and newness.
Had a talk with my old man
Said, "Help me understand"
He said, "Turn sixty-eight
You'll renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train
Don't know how else to say it
I don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Roots run deep, here, literally and figuratively. An old friend saw this picture I took yesterday of a tree rooted deeply near the graves of my father, and grandfather, and great grandfather, and unaware of the tree's location, shared the following scripture:
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6-7
Touché. Senor' Pez could not have said it any better.
So, here, today, I gather with my progeny to celebrate something new, while never forgetting something old, or something borrowed, or what's been given.
'Cause now I see I'll never stop this train.
Nor do I truly want to…
*Stop This Train lyrics by John Mayer

Expect the unexpected. That's what they always say.
When the topic is Oklahoma weather, however, I'd say the correct phrase might be "unexpect the expected".
Little Frau commented yesterday on how much more difficult it is to forecast winter storms and how the powers that be try too hard to be right about something they cannot control.
There's an old Pat Benatar tune that says:
Fire and ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
This latest named winter storm that shall remain nameless turned a cold shoulder on us, indeed, making us dread its impact and drop any semblance of productive days as we awaited its wrath, then staying just abreast of us in intensity of impact.
While I am thankful, a part of me feels let down. All this planning and angst, and things work out OK after all? What is the deal with that?
I wonder if that's how Moses felt a big part of the time. I spent a few hours yesterday awaiting the loss of power that would not come to fruition. Waiting, and watching start to finish the 50's era epic "The Ten Commandments".
The children of Israel had their share of storms, no doubt, as have we all. But, in the midst of their deliverance, they got a little (OK, a lot) off course fretting about the storms that might not ever come, and making some new more damaging storms on their own along the way.
So, the rain will fall today, and the ice (what little we had) should melt quickly. Or, maybe it won't. I can't control that. I can control my heart, and how it cares for those around me, and the storms they may be feeling.
Such was true yesterday.
Such will be true today, planned for storms, or unplanned for plans.
The Lord will work out his plans for my life — for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for you made me. Psalm 138:8

Indiana University statement on immigration executive order
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana University President Michael A. McRobbie has issued the following statement about the executive order on immigration signed Friday, Jan. 27:
"At Indiana University, we embrace openness to the world. This has long been a hallmark of great global universities such as ours that seek to attract the best students, scholars and researchers from every country and champion the cause of greater cultural understanding.
"The executive order issued on Friday that bars citizens and refugees from certain countries from entering the U.S. is contrary to the very core of our values as an institution committed to excellence and innovation, a diversity of community and ideas, respect for the dignity of others and engagement in the economic, civic, cultural and social development of our state, our nation and our world.
"IU's educational, research and service missions are inextricably bound with the rest of the world and rooted in a belief in the ever-increasing value of international literacy and experience. This is why we urge the administration to end this executive order, which threatens to disrupt these missions, as quickly as possible. We also would encourage the administration to make it clear to the rest of the world that our nation's colleges and universities will continue to open their doors to the best and brightest scholars and researchers who, through their teaching, discoveries and innovations, play a vital role in enhancing our nation's economic competitiveness and prosperity.
"The directives contained in this executive order will have a considerable impact on IU's international students and scholars, many of whom are feeling frightened and unsettled, interfering with their travel plans and other commitments. In response, we are advising that all of our international students and scholars allow plenty of time for visa processing, as wait times are expected to increase, and we are also strongly recommending that citizens of the seven countries targeted for new visitation restrictions not travel to any country outside the U.S. at this time.
"We recognize the critical importance of a strong and effective visa process to protecting our national security, which is why we continue to support collaborative efforts that ensure our visa system prevents entry from anyone who wishes to harm Americans.
"At the same time, we remain committed to doing all that we can within the bounds of the law to vigorously protect and support IU students, faculty and staff. Additionally, we will continue to provide counseling to students on immigration-related concerns through our Office of International Services, which is maintaining a new webpage with current information and advice, while we intensify our advocacy for expanded access to higher education for all IU students living in the U.S.
"We will conduct all of our actions in pursuit of our enduring mission: to educate our students for active, engaged and committed citizenship, prepare them for public service and contribute to the building of civil society around the globe."

By: Nida Hanif
He was trying to start his bike when his mobile rung up. "Hello! It's Saqib speaking." "Hey man! Where are you?" It was his best friend Hammad.
"I'm on my way. "Don't worry, I'll be there in 15 minutes." and the phone hung up.
Hammad and Saqib were best friends. They lived in two different but adjacent colonies, one at the back of other. Hammad was an intelligent boy and position holder in his class, but after matriculation due to bad company, he lost his position and now was unable to get admission in professional college. Saqib was new in the area but had a bad reputation. Their bad character, so, was their main and only introduction to each other and gradually this introduction had turned into best friendship. Being free all day long, their only and only job was to spend their whole day in net cafes and night in different restaurants and hotels fooling around people; greedily ordering and eating different dishes and not paying the bill.
Their meeting time for night was 11 O' Clock. One night, when it was 13th August, Hammad happily entered the main street, their meeting point, but was boiled as Saqib was not present there. He sat on a stone in the corner, called up Saqib and now was waiting for him to come. The lamp above his head suddenly started flickering.
"Hey lamp! Don't you know who is sitting under you? Oh, so you are afraid of me. Yes, Yes! I am the superior one of all boys in this area." Said Hammad proudly as he watched the lamp struggling to light up.
Suddenly, he remembered something, "Oh, today's 13th. Hurrah! Tomorrow will be 14th August meaning I can take Rs. 500 more from dad to celebrate birthday of Pakistan and today we will go to Dunkin's donuts, specially chocolate flavoured." Thought Hammad with his mouth full of water.
"Saqib, come fast. Today I have the best idea of the year. Well, tomorrow Pakistan will turn … umm … umm... 47, 67,77,87,97 and 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, hmm 57 years old. Turn 57 or turn 100, it's of no use for me I only need to remember birthdays and ages of my friends," he thought carelessly.
"I don't know why so many people died for Pakistan? Was it of any use? Useless struggle and useless history." He slowly started to remember the main events of freedom struggle which he had studied in school classes.
"Formation of Muslim League, Khilafat Movement, Migration Movement, Allahabad session, Lahore Resolution and bla bla bla. What stupid things are these? Can these events of old world guide us in this new era; never, never, never. Separation of land meant nothing. If we were Indians today, so what would have happened? Well there's no difference in Loly Wood and Bolly Wood."
Hammad was so involved in his thoughts that he took no notice of the watchman, who had several times asked him that who was he and then walked away thinking that he as a mad.
"Ouch, stupid ant, an ant was running on his foot. He killed the ant but the pain had reminded him of the agony of 1947.
"It is true that rivers turned red train had their passengers not living ones to gain attention of others. All these stories were developed." Suddenly, he saw someone coming. His condition revealed that he would have been a very strong person in the past but at that time, he was looking very weak. He was seriously wounded so caught Hammad's attention.
"Who are you man? Who has beaten you? Tell me, I will teach him a lesson." He was really shocked to see such type of man in his area. "I'm called Pakistan", answered the coming man in a weak voice and almost fell down near Hammad.
"I'm wounded by my own people, those who own me, who were mine and I was theirs. Their forefathers had spent their lives caring for me but these people, they have never asked me, 'How is you dear Pakistan?' The lamp over their heads was continuously flickering.
"I … I need blood, young and hot, for my survival. No one can ever count those people who died just go give me life. Babies were slaughtered, sisters jumped in rivers, mothers lost their sons, wives. Their husbands, all the people; there everything, just because at that time I needed the foundation of bodies and blood to become strong enough to stand and to give shelter to those who still survived for me, to built me as I was their dreamland. They received trains full of blood and dead body parts and said nothing. They quietly left their castle like house. They received 6.5 million refugees happily and gave them shelter and they knew, they had to face more sorrow as well but just for me, they tolerated. They kept on with their mission; giving me hot blood for my survival, for my development.
Nowadays, I am feeling very weak. This generation has turned cold blooded. They don't care for me. Why? Am I not their country; their everything? Said Pakistan with tears in his eyes and fell down. Hammad almost yelled out.
"Pakistan, Pakistan, please get up, I … I … am … I will help you, please get up…."
But he felt that Pakistan was dying and his last moments were near. "Pakistan, please don't die." He almost wept. "I … I have no more stamina. 57 years have passed. No one cares for me. My wounds are increasing everyday. My skeleton is being broken by the people who call themselves Pakistanis. I … I can't survive. Let me die. I don't want to live … to see how the sweet dreams of my caretakers destroy. Please leave me."
"No, please Pakistan get up. I … I will take care of you. I will give you what you need, my life, my strength, my blood, my family, my everything.
"No," said Pakistan with a sad but dead smile. "You are so busy the whole day. How could you give me your everything? You…"
Please Pakistan, don't say like this. I will do what I've said. It's my promise. Yes, it's my promise." Said Hammad in a firm voice.
"Hey Hammad! To whom are you talking? It's no one around." It was the voice of Saqib, Hammad's best friend which brought him in reality. Now he realized this was all his imagination.
"Hey Hammad! Why you are so serious? Today's 13th. Tomorrow Pakistan will turn 57. Come on, today we will enjoy to our limits. And do you know I forgot to fill my bike, so I decided to go on foot. So, I've come here all the way walking. Hey what has happened to the lamp?" Saqib was very excited and was telling him his story but he felt Hammad was not listening. He was somewhere else.
"Dear!" Saqib finally shook him, "What's the matter?" "Saqib, today we will go nowhere." Hammad at least said in a low voice.
"What? Is it a reality or I'm sleeping?" "Please Saqib! We will go nowhere. We will not enjoy the way we used to. Its true, tomorrow Pakistan will turn 57, but I am thinking, should we celebrate this day and we know, we've done nothing for our homeland, have given nothing to it?"
"But see Hammad." Saqib tried to give proofs, "What Pakistan has given us? People are jobless, they are sleepless due the defective security, people are …"
"But Saqib, to achieve something, something has to be lost. Yet, Pakistan has given us identity. We are Pakistani's today; it's our home, our everything. In fact, we have failed to give Pakistan an identity; an Islamic one."
"Saqib, come on, lets promise today we will do what we can for Pakistan, for our motherland. We will sacrifice everything. Insha Allah, we will!"
Hammad was really enthusiastic so Saqib had no other choice except to agree with him.
"Ok! Let's promise, and together, they shook hands to promise each other. Hammad could see an end to end smile on Pakistan's weak face.
The lamp over their heads suddenly fused. Hammad looked up at the lamp. "We know dear lamp, our ways full of difficulties and there is no light to seek our way. Only we will move forward in the light of our good deeds. The blood of our forefathers will lead us to our goal. And as an example, the freedom struggle will guide us."
And quietly, they walked away in the dark night of 13th August, towards the goal which needed rivers of blood crossed and their everything sacrificed. Yes their everything, just because they had to fulfill their promise; give dying Pakistan a new life!
