There are some obligations associated with running a small business. One of these is withholding payroll taxes. It is not a choice – it is a must-do if you want to stay on the right side of the law. Failure to withhold payroll taxes incurs fines and penalties for your business. According to the IRS Publication 15, if you fail to remit taxes, you will eventually have to pay the amount due plus an "additional tax." This extra tax can range from 2 percent to 15 percent per month after a tax return is late.
Payroll Taxes and How to Pay Them
There are basically three classes of payroll taxes:
- Federal Income Tax
- Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) Taxes
- State and Local Taxes
Oftentimes, your business is required to remit all three classes of taxes. Neither the calculation nor remittance of these taxes follows the same process. They also differ in complexity.
Federal Income Tax
Usually, this is the first tax class that comes to mind when withholding payroll taxes is discussed. The FIT is deductible on all earning types that constitute the taxable income of an employee. The taxable income of an employee excludes declared allowances. Declared allowances may also be referred to as exemptions or deductions.
There are alternate methods on how to calculate income tax. Commonly used methods are the Percentage Method and Wage Bracket Method. Withholding FIT is dependent on three factors:
- Tax Bracket
- Number of allowances claimed on Form W-4
- Marital Status
How to Pay
Remitting Federal Income Tax follows the same process as the remittance of Federal Insurance Contributions Act taxes (filling a Form 941 quarterly).
Federal Insurance Contributions Act Taxes
FICA taxes are commonly known as Medicare and Social Security taxes. The tax burden rests on both the employer and the employee. However, remittance of the tax is a responsibility that falls solely on the employer.
- Medicare Tax
Currently, employees and employers forfeit 1.45 percent each with no maximum limit. For employees with an annual salary of $200,000 and above, there is an additional tax of 0.9 percent depending on marital status. This additional tax is only to be withheld from the employee.
- Social Security Tax
Presently, the tax rate is 6.2 percent each for both the employee and the employer. There is a maximum wage base limit of $117,000. Thus maximum tax amount to be remitted per employee is $7,254.00.
How to Pay
Small business owners are required to file Form 941, "Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return," every quarter to remit withheld Medicare and Social Security taxes.
State and Local Taxes
Unlike the other two tax classes, these taxes vary by region:
- State Taxes
Currently, 43 states require small business owners to remit state income tax. The seven exceptions are Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.
- Local Taxes
In addition to FICA, FIT, and State taxes, some localities may require small businesses to withhold local income taxes. Local taxes are restricted to a school district, county, or city.
How to Pay
First, you will have to confirm what taxes should be withheld from your state and local governments. You should get information on the amount to withhold – caps, if any; exceptions, if any; and how to remit the tax to the appropriate organization.
When Should You Deposit Withheld Taxes?
Deposit times for FIT and FICA Taxes are dependent on the deposit schedules of the IRS. There are two schedules: monthly and semi-monthly. Which deposit schedule you go with depends on the total tax liability as declared on your completed Form 941.
The route of making deposit is the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). Worthy of note is that exceptions exist with the use of the EFTPS platform. Therefore, you should verify from the IRS Publication 15 before going ahead to use the EFTPS platform.
It is pertinent to add that while remitting withheld taxes, ensure that you remit unemployment taxes. There are two forms, Federal Unemployment Tax and State Unemployment Tax. Both operate under the regulation of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) and must be remitted to the appropriate authority. With the exception of Alaska, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; the employer is required to solely pay federal and state unemployment taxes. As such, they are not withheld from employees.

Apple iPad (first generation) MB293LL/A Tablet (32GB, Wifi)
Apple iPad Wi-Fi is a magical and revolutionary product at an unbelievable price and the best way to experience the web, email, photos, and video.All of the built-in apps on iPad are designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large multi-touch screen and advanced capabilities of iPad. And they work in any orientation. So you can do things with these apps that you can't do on any other device.The high-resolution, 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS display on iPad is remarkably crisp and vivid. Which makes it perfect for web browsing, watching movies, or viewing photos. With iPad, there is no up or down. It's designed to show off your content in portrait or landscape orientation with every turn. And because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture, with excellent color and contrast.The multi-touch screen on iPad is based on the same revolutionary technology on iPhone. But the technology has been completely reengineered for the larger iPad surface, making it extremely precise and responsive. So whether you're zooming in on a map, flicking through your photos, or deleting an email, iPad responds with incredible accuracy. And it does just what you want it to.One of the first things you'll notice about iPad is how thin and light it is. The screen is 9.7 inches measured diagonally. So overall, it's slightly smaller than a magazine. You can use it anywhere. And a slight curve to the back makes it easy to pick up and comfortable to hold.With built-in 802.11n, iPad takes advantage of the fastest Wi-Fi networks. It automatically locates available Wi-Fi networks, which you can join with a few taps. iPad also comes with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, letting you connect to devices like wireless headphones or the Apple wireless keyboard.
Evacuate the dancefloor
As the night wore on, and Westwood rolled out, the dancefloor got emptier and emptier, at one point there was a grand total of 2 people on the floor - everyone else was at the bar, or just chatting.
Looking Good
Having a clear out and have come across some little nuggets that are on their way to the bin. Thought I'd store them on flickr for a while.
i bet you look good on the dancefloor tab
Tab contains 12-12oz Cans. TaB was introduced as a diet drink in the mid 1960s by Coca-Cola. According to the Coca-Cola Web page, the beverage is called Tab because it helps people who keep tabs on what they consume. According to an Atlanta Magazine article published in May 1963, Coca-Cola's marketing research department used its IBM 1401 computer to generate a list of over 250,000 four-letter words with one vowel, adding names suggested by the company's own staff. The list was stripped of any words deemed unpronounceable or too similar to existing trademarks. From a final list of about twenty names, "Tabb" was chosen, influenced by the possible play on words, and shortened to "Tab" during development, and designer Sid Dickens gave the name its familiar capitalisation pattern ("TaB") in the logo he designed.

Here I discussed mostly all possible ways to Transfer Video from Mac to iPhone, iPad running on any iOS versions (iOS 10, iOS 9). On some accidental conditions we can try any of the below. Different methods required own prerequisite conditions like USB connection between PC or iPhone/ iPad, Same Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Any of the parameter doesn't work then use next alternate option.
Steps for Transfer Video from Mac to iPhone, iPad using iTunes, Airdrop, VLC
Using Airdrop
Airdrop is most easy way to move/ Copy or Share Video files between all the Apple Devices (iPhone/ iPad/ iPod touch). But Airdrop required Bluetooth and Same WiFi network on the both devices from where you want to transfer. Any single condition doesn't match then Airdrop will not work. So leave this step and go for the next one.
On Mac: Go to the Video. Right click on Video and Click on "Share > AirDrop".
On iPhone/ iPad: Turn on Airdrop from iOS control center and Allow airdrop access permission to everyone.
Using iTunes
iTunes required physical connection between iOS to Mac. Open iTunes on Mac > Drag Video file Under Movie > Find Home Video from Side pane.
Next connect iPhone to Mac via lightning cable and Go to Movies under iPhone Settings from side pane > Enable Check Box (Sync movies) > Click on Sync button.
It's very fast process compare to over the Air (AirDrop, VLC or WALTR)
Read Full Step by Step guide over here: Move Video to PC/ MAC using VLC or iTunes
VLC or WALTR
VLC and WALTR both are free third-party apps available for iOS and Mac/ Windows PC. No Cable, then Try these techniques. Keep installed app on both. You may be experience little bit slow process for big size video it's hence that whole transfer process done over the air/ WiFi.
For VLC: Open App on iPhone/ iPad > Go to App settings > Turn on Sharing via WiFi. Open same URL in MAC browser and Upload video there.
Hopefully i covered most probable ways to Transfer Video from Mac to iPhone/ iPad.

A Women's Law School
Students surround school founder Arthur MacLean, 1938. Courtesy of The Boston Public Library, Print Department
As an institution tailored to women from working-class families, Portia Law School was sensitive to financial and time pressures, offering part-time enrollment. And when the state toughened requirements for law students, Portia added resources like a GED-equivalency program and college-level courses.
Out of financial necessity, particularly during the Great Depression, Portia Law School began opening up its programs to male students. Like their female classmates, the men were drawn to the school's flexible approach and established reputation.

1. Introduction
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the global hierarchical replicated distributed database system for Internet addressing, mail proxy, and other information. The DNS has been extended to include digital signatures and cryptographic keys as described in [RFC 2535]. Thus the DNS can now be secured and can be used for secure key distribution.
Eastlake Standards Track [Page 1]
RFC 2536 DSA in the DNS March 1999
This document describes how to store US Government Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) keys and signatures in the DNS. Familiarity with the US Digital Signature Algorithm is assumed [Schneier]. Implementation of DSA is mandatory for DNS security.
2. DSA KEY Resource Records
DSA public keys are stored in the DNS as KEY RRs using algorithm number 3 [RFC 2535]. The structure of the algorithm specific portion of the RDATA part of this RR is as shown below. These fields, from Q through Y are the "public key" part of the DSA KEY RR.
The period of key validity is not in the KEY RR but is indicated by the SIG RR(s) which signs and authenticates the KEY RR(s) at that domain name.
Field Size ----- ---- T 1 octet Q 20 octets P 64 + T*8 octets G 64 + T*8 octets Y 64 + T*8 octets
As described in [FIPS 186] and [Schneier]: T is a key size parameter chosen such that 0 <= T <= 8. (The meaning for algorithm 3 if the T octet is greater than 8 is reserved and the remainder of the RDATA portion may have a different format in that case.) Q is a prime number selected at key generation time such that 2**159 < Q < 2**160 so Q is always 20 octets long and, as with all other...

EU referendum: Guidance for staff and students
Last updated: Wednesday 6 February 2019. This page was created following the UK's EU referendum vote on Thursday 23 June 2016 as a source of information for staff and students. We will keep updating it when we receive new information.
The triggering of Article 50, giving notice of the UK's intention to leave the EU will create significant challenges for universities, but we will remain global in our outlook, internationally-networked, and an attractive destination for talented people from across Europe. While the details of Government's negotiations with the EU still remain unknown, we will use this page to update you with the latest developments. You can also get involved with the EU and Brexit Yammer group (log-in required) to discuss issues with other staff and students, and we will attempt to answer your questions there.
The University of Leicester is proud to be ranked in the top 100 international universities according to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2016, and we value our international community which includes students and staff from more than 117 different countries.
We will continue to welcome applications from students from the EU and we will not be making any changes to our arrangements for EU staff and students, until we are instructed by the government to do so.
The following Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) have been compiled to respond to concerns you may have about changing circumstances at the University following the vote to leave.
You can read our official statement here and if you have any additional questions which are not answered here, please contact us via firstname.lastname@example.com
We will continue to update this page as and when we receive new information from official sources. You can read our more information section here which includes links to statements from official sources on university-related matters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will EU national staff and students still be welcome at the University of Leicester?
Of course! The University remains committed to its outlook as a global university and we are proud to welcome an international and multicultural staff and student community to our University. The UK's decision to leave the EU will not change this view.
What does the EU referendum result mean for EU staff and students?
Barring unilateral action from the UK Government, the vote to leave the EU does not mean there will be any immediate change to the UK university sector's participation in EU programmes such as Horizon 2020 and Erasmus+, nor to the immigration status of current and prospective EU students and staff. Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty foresees a two-year negotiation process between the UK and other member states, during which time the terms of the UK's exit from the EU will be decided.
Will there be any impact to the recognition of a degree from the University of Leicester?
At this point in time, we don't believe so. The University remains committed to being a world-leading global university.
Will tuition fees and access to loans change for current EU students?
There will be no change to your fees status, immigration status or eligibility to receive loans and/or grants from The Student Loans Company for the duration of your current course of study.
Will tuition fees and access to loans change for new and prospective students?
We are very pleased to confirm that the University of Leicester will continue to charge fees at the Home/EU rate for the duration of your undergraduate or master's degree if you are a campus-based student starting in September 2017 or September 2018. You will continue to have access to student loans and grants and home fee status for the duration of your course.
The Student Loans Company (SLC) has confirmed that the rules applying to EU nationals starting university in September 2017 are unchanged. Those assessed as eligible to receive grants and/or loans will receive them for the duration of their course of study.
Visas and work
Will visa conditions/immigration status change for current EU staff and students?
There is no change to any current EU national student, staff or applicant's immigration status at this point. This will remain the case until the UK Government advises otherwise.
Will EU students still be able to work in the UK whilst being a student?
At this point in time, there is no change to the immigration status or right to work for EU students.
Will there be any implications for students studying in the EU under the Erasmus+ programme?
The UK Government released an updated Technical Notice on 29 January 2019 giving more detail on the impact on the UK's participation of the Erasmus+ programme in a deal or no deal Brexit scenario.
If the UK parliament passes the Withdrawal Agreement before the UK leaves, we should be able to offer an Erasmus+ grant to students planning to study abroad in another European country in 2019/20. However, if the UK leaves the EU without an agreement in place, it is unlikely that UK universities will be able to offer Erasmus+ funding to outgoing students due to study abroad in 2019/20.
We are supporting the Universities UK campaign urging the UK Government to commit to continue funding study abroad opportunities for UK students, even if they cannot negotiate continued participation in Erasmus+ programme.
Will students planning to participate in an Erasmus+ exchange still be able to do so?
The University of Leicester is committed to a full range of mobility opportunities. We remain close to all European partner universities to discuss our continued partnerships, and seek to maintain student mobility throughout Europe.
Based on the information shared above, students who have already been selected to undertake an Erasmus+ placement with a partner university or who are already abroad should continue with their placement. The government has also said they would like to stay in the Erasmus+ programme if the EU will agree.
Will there be any implications to students studying in the UK under the Erasmus+ programme?
We want to reassure you that there is no impact on your immigration status. For more information and to keep up to date, please visit the Gov.UK website.
What will be the impact on EU-funded research projects?
The UK's status as a full participating member of the Horizon 2020 programme has not changed as a result of the referendum vote and existing project grants and contracts will be honoured unless, or until, advised otherwise. In addition, the Treasury has committed to underwrite funding for all UK participation in projects submitted to EU-schemes before the UK's official exit from the EU (estimated to be Spring 2019).
Will UK researchers still be able to apply for H2020 EU-funded grants?
The UK is still a full participant in the H2020 programme and will be until the UK officially leaves the EU (the date for which is estimated to be Spring 2019) so UK based participation (as lead partner or collaborator) is still actively encouraged. In addition, the Treasury has committed to underwrite funding for all UK participation in projects submitted to EU-schemes before the UK's official exit from the EU. We have reported a 40% increase in EU awards in the seven months post-referendum, compared to the seven months pre-referendum.
Is there any support available to students and staff personally affected by this decision?
Yes. The Student Welfare Service and Student Counselling Service can offer advice to students who are personally affected by the outcomes of the vote and the Staff Counselling and Wellbeing Service can provide pastoral care to staff affected by this outcome.
How can the University support students worried about the job market?
The University's Career Development Service can provide advice to all students and recent graduates about their career prospects.
If you have any additional questions which have not been answered here, please contact us via firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hmmm, let me guess, could you be talking about The Redeemer? These blog pages are becomming a malicious playground for juvenile (and often illiterate, it seems)fanboys. Now, I've never seen Stanley and probably never will, however, if Code Red wish to release this title; good luck to them. Please accept that people with a variety of tastes support Code Red and the range of titles they plan to offer for 08 is diverse and exciting.

I'm glad this movie is coming out. I taped from the late show in the 80's, but I no longer have that tape. I purchased a tape of it from a company called Education 2000 (no joke), and it had a VCR timer in the corner of the picture throughout the whole thing! It's great the uncut version exists!

Faster estimates. Because raising standards is company policy.
At PDA, we work hard to outperform other appraisal companies at every turn. One of the ways we beat the competition is in cycle times. In third quarter 2017, PDA completed estimates in an average of 1.8 business days and 2.9 calendar days across our national network, and we keep getting faster. Even better, when your customers use our PDA Xpress smartphone tool, we finish most estimates in 45 minutes or less! Faster cycle times like these help you close claims more efficiently, make your life easier, improve your customers' satisfaction and save rental car fees.
Isn't it time you experienced a higher standard?

The Saudis to Baker's Rescue?
As regular readers know, I'm not hot on conspiracy theories--partly because I don't believe government officials are competent enough to pull off overly intricate schemes (though it does happen occasionally). But here's a modest CT for anyone who--like me--was stunned to read the op-ed by Nawaf Obaid, a Saudi adviser, in Wednesday's Washington Post. He says explicitly that if George W. Bush withdraws troops from Iraq, Saudi Arabia will do whatever it must to protect the Sunnis of Iraq. For years, he notes, Saudi King Abdullah has refused calls to send money and weapons to Iraqi Sunnis. Those calls, Obaid writes, will "be heeded if American troops begin a phased withdrawal from Iraq." He acknowledges this could pit Saudi Arabia versus Iran, which is supporting Iraqi Shiites, in a civil war in Iraq. He ends the piece: "To be sure, Saudi engagement in Iraq carries great risks--it could spark a regional war. So be it: The consequences of inaction are far worse."
It's a chilling piece. It might even be true: a US pullout could lead to a greater civil war that draws in other nations and leads to worse. But I can't help wondering if Obaid's piece is an attempt to provide cover for former Secretary of State James Baker and his Iraq Study Group, which is supposed to be releasing its recommendations within weeks. Baker and his fellow commissioners have a problem: what to say about withdrawing troops. The ten members of the bipartisan panel are likely divided on this critical point. The Democrats on the panel know that their party leaders in Congress have been advocating disengagement. Republicans on the panel know their president has said he will not bring back the troops. How can Baker square this circle?
Are the Saudis coming the rescue? Baker has always been close to the House of Saud. Now a representative of that clan is publicly warning--even if noting his views do not reflect "official Saudi policy"--that withdrawal could lead to all-out war in the region. That certainly raises the cost of proposing a retreat. Anyone considering withdrawing troops ought to be scared by this article. And that could well be the point of it--to help Baker smother any recommendation for withdrawal. But there's something worse: Obaid might indeed be reflecting official Saudi policy and his predictions might be on the mark. Should the prospect of open civil war involving other regional powers trump the argument for withdrawing troops? Not necessarily. (Read Republican Senator Chuck Hagel's argument for withdrawal here.) But withdrawal may substitute one set of grave problems for another. The furies that Bush has unleashed in the Middle East are far from burning out.

The Stanford Dance Marathon is now LIVE online. For the first time ever, your parents will gasp in confusion when they realize that grinding is a perfectly acceptable way to save the world.
The first dance marathons originated in the 1920s as endurance competitions. Participants shuffled and jived until they could shuffle and jive no more, with a winner crowned at the end. Since then, they've evolved into charitable traditions, with colleges nationwide hosting dance marathons in order to raise money for noble causes.
Stanford Dance Marathon, organized by a local chapter of FACE AIDS (link), focuses on supporting international health by raising money for Partners in Health and the Bay Area Young Positives by supporting "their HIV/AIDS and community building programs in Rwanda and San Francisco."
A lesser-known, Stanford-unique partner to the traditional Dance Marathon is the annual Hackathon , where techies put their heads together for 24 hours to work on non-profit software projects. The Hackathon, spearheaded by current ASSU president David Gobaud, is certainly one of the most ingenious and successful events that Stanford puts on.
Stanford Dance Marathon is a 24-hour event, meaning it will end tomorrow afternoon at 1. Definitely come and check it out.
If not, you can always watch the webcast and cheer on the DMers until you decide to stop being creepy and actually go dance.

Pretty lame that you have to sign-up for this (never-before-heard-of) online service to watch the live feed. Why not host it on one of Stanford's servers?

Welcome to the Panda & Frog home brewery bar.
Apart from staging my beer, quite a lot of bottled beers were opened and shared round. Cantillon Grand Cru Bruosella 2006 was a good appetizer. As my first ever neat lambic I was expecting something way more sour, but it would be more accurate to call it rather cider like with an elegant balanced acidity than viciously sour. Great stuff from Cantillon. At about this point we tucked into some pork buns and an awesome cheeseboard featuring some of my favourite Northumberland Cheeses and this was an obvious cue to open and share round some more beers. Chimay Tripel is another instantly cheese compatible beer and Number 1 Dray Dave got his first try of some Trappistes Rochefort 8. The highlight for me was the classic St Bernardus Abt 12, which we tried before opening some of my own Panda & Frog 2010 Vintage, my take on a Belgian Quad. Only 6 months old now and still syrupy and rich on the palate, but pleasant enough.
As the night got moved towards it's conclusion some rather large looking Cigars that Dave had brought over were smoked whilst guests were introduced to my precious whisky range. For the moment I stuck mostly with the rather impressive sherry cask influenced Suntory Yamazaki 18 year (a great Christmas present) and the highly complex and very potent Ardbeg Uigeadail vatted malt.
After that more beer was drunk but not much else happened. We watched a couple of Iron Maiden video's on the net and talked a lot about beer. Or at least I did. All in all a rather splendid evening, and I would have stayed up later, but in the the words of Rowley Birkin; I'm afraid I was very very drunk.

Importance of Antioxidants Post Work Out
Typically regarded as compounds to hinder the development of cancer and heart disease, antioxidants have a complex home in the health industry. Antioxidants are known to prevent cellular damage due to natural and environmental toxins. However, current research suggests antioxidants may not play a valuable role in post-workout recovery and health.
Before delving into the specifics of antioxidants in post-workout recovery, it's important to understand the role of these compounds. As the body breaks down food or when the body is exposed to certain toxins, a process known as oxidation begins. This naturally occurring process results in the formation of free radicals, which are imbalanced molecules capable of damaging cells. Antioxidants, which are produced naturally in the body or supplemented through dietary sources, are believed to counterbalance the negative effects of free radicals. Dietary sources of antioxidants are available in fruits, vegetables and beans as well as in teas and dark chocolate.
Muscle Recovery
Have you ever felt an intense soreness within your muscles after an extreme bout of strength training or aerobic activity? If so, it is a condition known as delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS. During these moments of intense exercise, the cell membranes of muscles are damaged, which results in inflammation. Johndavid Maes and Len Kravitz, Ph.D., state the inflammatory response of injured muscles results in the production of free radicals. Theoretically, consuming antioxidants from vitamins C or E may reduce free radicals and therefore reduce muscle inflammation. While plausible, no study has been able to prove this suggested theory. In fact, a study published in the June 2004 issue of the "Lipids in Health and Disease" journal found supplementation with the antioxidant vitamin E did not reduce the oxidative damage to muscles.
Muscle Repair
Although further studies are needed to determine the true value of antioxidants on muscle repair following exercise, an initial study has found the antioxidant vitamin E may promote muscle repair. Researchers from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences report in the August 2000 issue of "The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" that after taking vitamin E, participants experienced an increase in creatine kinase, or CK, in blood. The study goes on to say the increase in CK blood levels may indicate an increase in muscle repair after exercising.
Increase in White Blood Cells
After exercise, your body immediately releases white blood cells and antibodies. These compounds are sent circulating at a faster pace than normal, which may help them detect viruses or other bacteria at a swifter rate to fight off illness. Researchers from the aforementioned University of Arkansas study also found supplementation with the antioxidant vitamin E increased levels of white blood cells after performing physical activity. Moreover, these results were only found in older participants, and ages were not provided. Therefore, by supplementing with vitamin E, it is theoretically possible to enhance white blood cell levels post workout.

by Oumar Sagna
(Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA)
My band's name is Oumar Sagna and Sindoolaa. We would like to play anywhere in the world.
Preferences would be in this order:
Asia (China, Japan)
Anywhere in America, Canada and South America.
Here is a youtube video:
In 2005, I released my first music recording and subsequently formed the Sindoolaa African Music band. Calling on influences from my home village of Diatock, Casamance (Southern Senegal), the music fuses traditional West African and contemporary roots, enrapturing audiences with a unique sound. The band was just filmed by The Africa Channel in Chicago, a one hour show that will be broadcast worldwide. Sindoolaa will be releasing a second CD and a DVD this year.
Sindoolaa music band is composed of musicians native of Senegal (West Africa) and Milwaukee (Wisconsin, USA ), where it is based. The current Sindoolaa members are Oumar Sagna on lead vocals, ekonting, percussions, kalimba and balaphon, Olusegun Sijuwade and/or Aaron Gardner on Sax and flute, Carl Nichols on rhythm guitar, Jeff Green on lead guitar and second vocals, the two wonderful dancers Miriam Levie and Naima Adedapo on second vocals, John Simons on Bass (Bass substitutes: Patrick patterson and Theodore Stribling), Jeffrey 'Omar' Phillips on drum set, Yaya Kambaye or Keba Diebate on Kora, kotiro drums and tama (talking drum), Patrice Nassalang on masquerade dance, Mohamed Sene on Sabar drums and Bougarabou. Not only does Sindoolaa play original music from Oumar's cultural background, but it also brings you African Reggae and Salsa, Soucouss music, and more. Sindoolaa music keeps you on the dance floor all night.
In Senegal I work with Batiyaye, my homeland based band.

THE baseball world changed during the 2003-04 offseason. The Red Sox did not obtain Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees did.
The Players Association quashed a deal that would have sent A-Rod from Texas to Boston, refusing to let Rodriguez reduce the value of his contract to facilitate the move. Not long after that, Aaron Boone tore up his knee playing pickup basketball, the Yankees reached out to see if Rodriguez would switch from shortstop to third, and a trade was consummated.
Initially this was viewed as Babe Ruth II, the game's great player slipping from the Red Sox to the Yankees. The Curse seemed like it would never go away. That was two Boston championships ago.
In recent weeks, as the gap between the Red Sox and Yankees has become more pronounced, there have been media attempts to enter the way-back machine and imagine how events might have transpired if Rodriguez had, indeed, ended up in Boston. Would he have become a hero by helping to end the Curse or — like in New York — would his insincerity, insecurity and ego have been a counterweight to his talent, sucking the life out of an entire organization?
But that might not even be the most interesting hypothetical involving Rodriguez. Remember, he was a free agent after the 2000 season and his first preference was to become a Met. Think about how history might have changed had Rodriguez come to New York immediately after the Subway Series to be Derek Jeter's crosstown rival rather than fake-friend teammate.
"We had a lot of discussions about doing it," said Jim Duquette, then a Mets' assistant general manager. "We weren't just kicking the tires."
The quick shorthand for what occurred was: Then-GM Steve Phillips met Rodriguez's agent, Scott Boras, immediately after the November GM Meetings. Boras outlined items Rodriguez would need beyond the largest contract in history. That list included an office at Shea Stadium to handle off-the-field issues, charter jet service for friends/family, and a guarantee that he would have the largest billboard presence in New York, particularly over Jeter.
Shortly thereafter, Phillips announced the Mets were withdrawing from negotiations, famously saying Boras/A-Rod were hunting an untenable "24-plus-one-man structure." Rodriguez ultimately signed a 10-year, $252 million contract with the Rangers that made him the majors' highest-paid player, but also the game's biggest target. A domino effect was triggered that damaged Rodriguez's reputation.
So what if Rodriguez had followed his heart, not his wallet. He grew up in Miami a huge Mets fan, watching his favorites such as Keith Hernandez and Doc Gooden on WWOR. Al Leiter said recently that it was near-accepted buzz around the Mets clubhouse during the 2000 season that Rodriguez wanted to come to the Mets. During the 2000 World Series, Rodriguez attended games at Shea Stadium, people close to him say, to scope out his imagined future home.
It is clear, though, that for Rodriguez to have ended up a Met, he needed a different agent. Boras had been directing A-Rod toward a historic contract since the slugger was in high school. Boras knew he had a unique opportunity; Rodriguez was a free agent at 25 and already hailed as one of the great shortstops ever. Boras could have asked for anything, and the problem is he did. Boras treated this as his negotiations, which meant pushing boundaries and creating antagonism between the client and organizations.
There is no doubt Rodriguez deserved the largest contract. But in doubling Kevin Garnett's $126 million package for the largest deal in North American team sports history, Boras took A-Rod too far away from the herd. At the moment Rodriguez signed, the largest baseball package ever was Mike Hampton's $121 million deal, and the largest per annum was the $15 million yearly for Kevin Brown. The gap between Rodriguez and everyone else fit his greed and ego. But it guaranteed a weight Rodriguez's insecurity could not handle, a weight that Rodriguez now says led to his being a steroid user during his Texas years.
What if Rodriguez had an agent who better read what he could handle? What if Rodriguez, say, accepted an eight-year, $160 million deal to play for the team he grew up adoring. His reception around the game would have been much better. In fact, he might have been hailed for such a move.
Now this means leaving a ton of money on the table — which no one does — but in retrospect you can see how the money created a huge problem for him.
Would the Mets have gone to $160 million? It probably would have been their upper limits. But Nelson Doubleday was still part-owner and he believed in the big play.
"It was interesting because of the dynamic of Fred [Wilpon] and Nelson," Phillips remembers. "They had different views on how to build a team and business plans. I know there is no way the Mets would go near $252 million."
The 2001 Mets decided to augment their NL champs by enlisting Rey Ordonez for short rather than A-Rod, plus Kevin Appier and Todd Zeile. The entire Mets infield totaled 51 homers, one less than A-Rod (albeit in a hitter's haven in Texas on steroids). The Mets stumbled to third with Tsuyoshi Shinjo serving 15 times as the cleanup hitter protecting Mike Piazza. They then had big money coming off the books and overreacted with Roberto Alomar, Jeromy Burnitz, Roger Cedeno and Mo Vaughn, among others.
Would the Mets have reached the playoffs again in 2001 with Rodriguez hitting behind Piazza? Would they have been better off extending financially for one star rather than the collection of players they eventually bought? Would Rodriguez have embraced being Jeter's cross-Triborough rival rather than his uneasy teammate? Would he have found more love and acceptance and, thus, peace of mind playing for the largest contract ever as a Met rather than the monstrosity he signed in Texas? Would he have gotten along with Bobby Valentine (reached in Japan, Valentine essentially said, "Why not?").
"Obviously, it is a crystal-ball discussion," Leiter said. "We had Piazza. We could have created our dynamic duo. I think that would have forced people to talk about the National League New York team as much as the American League New York team. How fun would that have been?"

The holiday season never seemed to arrive for Toys "R" Us.
After lower demand for items including video games and baby toys led to a 4.1% decline in its holiday quarter same-store sales, Toys "R" Us said on Wednesday that its sales last year declined 7.4% to $12.5 billion, the lowest level since at least 2009. Discounting to clear unsold merchandise contributed to a loss in the fourth-quarter, more than two-fifths of total sales. That translated to a loss of $1.04 billion in the year ended Feb. 1 after profits declined in each of the prior three years.
In his first media meeting on Wednesday, Chief Executive Antonio Urcelay, a 17-year company veteran named to his post in October, admitted performance was disappointing, and said the retailer has spent time with its suppliers, customers and employees performing a "diagnosis" of what hurt results. While he cited external factors, including declining U.S. birthrates since 2008 and U.S. toy industry sales that have stayed flat around $22 billion, and consumers' increased online spending, he called out issues that were "self-inflicted." He didn't name the company's rivals from Wal-Mart /quotes/zigman/245476/delayed /quotes/nls/wmt WMT to Amazon /quotes/zigman/63011/delayed /quotes/nls/amzn AMZN , but his presentation showcased how the retailer stacks up against its top rivals in several customer metrics.
While the retailer ranks high in perceptions, like having the newest and hottest toys, it fell behind on measures including easy in-store and online navigation, in-stock level, easy returns and check-out speed.
"In the past we were looking at what's convenient for the company," Urcelay responded to a MarketWatch question on how his strategy differs from his predecessor's, adding customers will now be at the center of Toys "R" Us's decisions. "We listen to customers much more than before. In the past we may have insights, but we may do nothing. Now we are doing something about it. We are trying to focus on the basics."
Urcelay, the retailer's former head of Europe who moved to Toys "R" Us's home base in New Jersey from Madrid this year, said 2014 is the year where Toys "R" Us stabilizes its business and slows its rate of sales and profit decline. He said the company has two years to realize its strategic vision before key debt maturities are due. Toys "R" Us last week successfully refinanced $1.8 billion in debt with lower interest rates, he said, adding that it has the full support of its lenders. In another encouraging sign, same-store sales have risen 3.5% so far this fiscal year in the U.S., which represents about 60% of its total sales and half of its profit.
"We are conservative on our assumption," he told MarketWatch. "We don't want to over-promise. We are trying to do few things and be realistic. We aren't planning for tremendous results."
Toys "R" Us said it will identify cost-cutting opportunities. The retailer, with a total of 70,000 employees globally, has cut 500 jobs this year, including 100 in its Wayne, N.J. headquarters. Urcelay said he doesn't see major store closings as part of the plan because 98% of the company's 862 U.S. stores and 94% of its 635 international stores are profitable.
The company said it will update its mobile apps and website speed, invest in store "facelifts" to make them easier to shop in and less cluttered, as well as increase training and add labor in key store areas. It also will slow U.S. store growth and no longer focus on putting its Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us side by side. Urcelay said the company also will better "utilize" its loyalty program, which he described as a key asset. That includes targeted and customized messages to its 29 million active reward members at Toys "R" Us and another 18 million to date that have registered with Babies "R" Us. Like other retailers, it also wants to better integrate online and in-store sales, including shipping online orders from stores. Using stores to ship products will allow the company to cut costs and shut a distribution center in Nevada this year.
Toys "R" Us, which has a price matching guarantee to compete against its rivals, said it also is fixing its price perception problem by simplifying prices and sales signs.
"Our prices are seen as too complex and too confusing," said Hank Mullany, a former Wal-Mart executive and now president of Toys "R" Us's domestic business.
Investors will watch and see whether Toys "R" Us can deliver.

Cameron Diaz spent some time in Australia before rumors that she may be pregnant circulated. Now, a report has surfaced saying she tried something Nicole Kidman did in the Land Down Under to "boost" her chances for a baby.
As reported by OK! Magazine, "The Other Woman" actress purportedly took a dip in the waters of Australia in hopes of finally carrying baby number one with husband Benji Madden.
"Cameron is very open-minded-she even tired bathing in Aboriginal waters in Australia to boost fertility, which she heard about from Nicole Kidman," the source said. "Unfortunately, it didn't work, so not she's turned to IVF."
It was not clear if "The Other Woman" actress has been getting advice from Nicole Kidman on her pregnancy struggles. But in 2008, Kidman did admit that she fell pregnant with daughter Sunday Rose after swimming in the waters of Western Australia during filming there.
"Nothing happened in a small way on this film... we had heat and torrential rains and equine flu and then I got pregnant," Nicole Kidman told Australia's Women's Weekly in 2008 as quoted by The Telegraph. "Seven babies were conceived out of this film and only one was a boy. There is something up there in the Kununurra water because we all went swimming in the waterfalls, so we can call it the fertility waters now."
Cameron Diaz, like Nicole Kidman before she finally fell pregnant, has been reportedly struggling to conceive for some time now. In a recent report on Starpulse, it was mentioned that she has been undergoing fertility treatments to help her get baby number one.
Over the weekend, Cameron Diaz and husband Benjie Madden were spotted on a night out in Los Angeles. The pair were once again bombarded by photographers asking if the actress was pregnant, as told by Hollywood Life. But pair kept mum on the shower of questions just like they have done in the past months.

Outsourcing my Stress with Grove Collaborative (and FREE Mrs. Meyers Holiday Gift!)
This is my busiest time of the year at work. My job requires that I organize two MAJOR fundraisers a year, and since one is a Holiday Home tour and one is a Thanksgiving Day footrace, both occur within two weeks of each other! I spent the last weekend in Fargo for the home tour (and it was GORGEOUS!) and next week is Thanksgiving! Eek!
Even though I am busy at work, my job at home does not end. My family depends on me to plan meals, keep things running, and even keep things clean. The older kids are older and able to pitch-in more, but they are also older, and are busier with work and school activities–so I can't lean on them as much as I would like to.
BUT, I am a super-smart Mom-Boss! I know that in times of stress, some things can be let go–who needs matching socks, anyway? Not me! Sometimes, I grab a few rotisserie chickens from the grocery store on the way home and call that dinner. We all survive-and really, who needs a mashed potato side dish?
I try to keep a load of laundry swishing. I insist that the big kids keep up on dishes. I harp on the littles to pick up as they go. I sing the praises of grocery delivery. And, best of all–I outsource some of my shopping.
Let's face it- NO ONE wants to run out of toilet paper, or dish soap, or hand soap, or eye cream (horrors!), or even toilet bowl cleaner (we all need it–no one wants to have to use it!)
I found that I was spending most of my lunch hours running around picking up various household supplies. And I'm picky. Appearance matters, scent matters, and my husband does not want to run around looking for my nit-picky requests (I actually picked nits earlier this year–let's not have that again–ok?).
I've learned that Grove Collaborative carries all of my very favorite household supplies–at a great price to boot! I set up my shopping cart, choose my favorite products, and once a month my own, personal, concierge emails me, or texts me, (or both, because I forget things!) a reminder to review my cart before a monthly shipment. And some months, I just skip a shipment because I have a stack of 4 bottles of Method Toilet Bowl Cleaners (seriously. The best stuff ever. But I won't clean four bottles worth of toilets this month–I hope!).
I can set my cart to be as automated as I want! And my kind concierge lets me know of products she thinks I will love.
But mostly, I'm just glad that I don't run out of dish soap. Ever.
If your are super organized and never run out of dish soap–you can stop reading now.
This year, Grove Collaborative treated us to a new Mrs. Meyer's Holiday Set — and they want to send one to you for free, too! The set includes a Mrs. Meyer's dish soap, Mrs. Meyer's hand soap, Mrs. Meyer's multi-surface spray and the Grove Collaborative Bubble Up.
My kids have been fighting over who gets to use this Bubble Up to do the dishes! It's fun to pump the dispenser and make lots of bubbles, and the brush is easy to hold when you're really scrubbing baked-on cheese off that casserole dish.
When the dishes are done, a quick wipe down with the multi-surface spray gets the counters and sink sparkling clean!
My husband and kids agree that these Mrs. Meyer's Peppermint soaps smell good enough to eat! It reminds me of the peppermint bark the ladies at our church in Minnesota used to make, and I'm grateful that it's safe for my family. The soaps also come in Orange Clove, which was a favorite in our house last winter. I can't wait to grab a few bottles for our other bathrooms and laundry room with my next Grove shipment.
If you're not familiar with Grove Collaborative, it's a subscription service that makes creating a healthy, beautiful home effortless and affordable. I can choose my favorite products from brands like Mrs. Meyer's, Seventh Generation, and Method, and Grove delivers them right to my doorstep, on my schedule.
Here's what I've discovered after using Grove: When my kids get to help choose the products and scents we use, they're much more willing to help clean! They actually get excited when they see the Grove box sitting on our porch. It's like Christmas for them (and me!).
When you sign up for Grove Collaborative using my link, you'll get the Mrs. Meyer's Holiday set for free + free shipping. If you're already a customer, you'll get 50% off of the brand new and amazing Grove Collaborative Bubble Up. Don't forget to sign up for the free VIP trial, too. Not only is the free shipping amazing, you'll get perks like free gifts, price matching, and personal customer service.
Grove only has a limited number of sets available and the offer ends November 21, so grab yours now! Here's how it works:
1. Sign up for Grove Collaborative here . You'll receive the Mrs. Meyer's offer for free when you sign up! If you're already a customer, you'll receive the Grove Collaborative Bubble Up for 50% off.
2. Answer 4 quick questions about your home that Grove Collaborative will then use to customize your first basket — this takes under 30 seconds!
3. Once you've answered the questions, you can finalize your basket of products to suit your household needs by adding or removing items.

Beer Style: Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer (21A)
Recipe Type: extract
Yield: 5 US gallons
I'm in the middle of a batch of ginger beer, using a recipe which is a hodge-podge of Cat's Meow recipes and my own warped ideas. What I'm shooting for is something with a pronounced ginger flavor and aroma, good body, but a very light color. I think I'm going to hit all the goals except the ginger flavor, which is a problem given that this is supposed to be a ginger beer.
The ginger and hops were boiled in the wort for 45 minutes, then lemon juice was added along with my immersion chiller. After an additional 10 minute boil, the batch was chilled to 65F. ph: 5.3 before lemon juice, 4.0 afterwards. To my chagin, the resulting wort had very little ginger flavor.

Lux Express conquers the market of St. Petersburg within one and a half month
More than 500 travelling packages for 2 people sold online during one and a half month has ranked passenger transportation company Lux Express as one of ten most popular tourism services among citizens of St. Petersburg who have chosen the Baltic States as their travelling destination.
"Although only one and a half month has passed since we launched a new product - tourism portal travel.luxexpress.eu for purchasing travelling packages, in which approximately 100 thousand EUR was invested, we already see that it was the right decision. Providing travelling packages for Russian tourists, where transportation, hotel and relax costs are included, we have made planning of the trip easier and more comfortable," says the Chairman of the Board Hannes Saarpuu.
Sales data of Lux Express show that travellers from Russia prefer rather economical than a luxury packages.

Geomag is distributed in the UK by Flair and the concept was the invention of a Magnetic's engineer in 1998 and was first manufactured in Italy before it moved to Switzerland in 2003. It is the brand leader in magnetic construction toys and is bounds ahead of cheaper versions in terms of both high quality and design.
The basis of the toy is an ingenious magnetic construction system involving rods and balls. The Swiss made nickel plated spheres are used in conjunction with plastic rods which have magnets at each end (north & south). When the sphere comes close to the rod they are attracted to each other. The process is repeated on the other ends of the rod and your resulting design can be as simple or as complex as you like. The two basic elements can actually result in a massive number of classic geometric shapes and structures such as spheres, cubes, dodecahedrons, octahedrons, flowers, bridges, spirals, pyramids, chains, towers, models of cars and animals, and much more. For the more adventurous amongst you, and with a little practice, as many as 14 rods can be attached to one sphere.
Magnetic models are easily built and taken apart and the resulting structures can be quite beautiful and you can make them as original and complicated as you so desire.
The Geomag range is available in Kids and Pro versions, with the Geomag kids range having slightly longer rods than the pro. The Kids range comes in subcategories of Color (with different coloured rods to help make the design your own), Panels (with shaped coloured panels for use in-between rods), Wheels (to build cars), World (to build castles or houses) and Glow which include glow in the dark pieces and this one is a very new one to be added to the range and creates a light & dark variation. The Pro range also is similar with a Color option, Panels (this time with silver bars and coloured panels) and Metals which have blue metal bars for a more 'technical' look.
The use of polycarbonate panels in your design gives the structure greater rigidity as well as adding a new dimension and colour to your model. The panels can be triangles, squares, pentagons for example and they allow you to make more compact designs. Shapes are also prevented from deforming by the action of the strong magnets and they also allow more complex designs to be built with fewer rods being used so your rods go further. Each pack has a number of designs included as examples to work from.
Geomag conforms to all applicable safety guidelines including EU CE mark and US CFR and ASTM F963 plus a whole list of product certifications.
The kits are entertaining as they are challenging and as you learn the secrets of Geomag building and how the magnets react with each other you will be able to build bigger and more convoluted structures. Try and construct a simple triple helix (have a loom on YouTube for ideas), or even build a super model and let your Geomag constructions be the envy of all your friends!
From an educational viewpoint they are also very useful. You can begin to understand the science behind the structures – which ones are more stable than others for example? Indeed they were recommended as a great educational gift in the Scientific American science magazine which shows how highly they are regarded.
Choose one of these brilliant and very clever magnetic construction kits from Geomag. They also make great executive toys!

Katimbang Bridge Now Spans Over Nagtipunan River In Quirino
The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) has recently inaugurated the Katimbang Bridge that would link up local residents to Sitio Katimbang in Brgy. San Ramos, Nagtipunan, Quirino.
Regional Director Atty. Marjorie P. Ayson said the Php124.28-million project turned out to be DAR's biggest Infrastructure project in the country, courtesy of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) through its Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project (ARISP) now on its third phase implementation.
She said the 570-meter long bridge helps improve the mobility of the townspeople, who relied heavily on old wooden rafts to ferry residents and their farm produce across the Nagtipunan River and to the market.
Pedro Pandongit, QFMPC Chairman of the Board said, "The bridge helps a lot during emergency cases. It also hastens the transportation and marketing of the farm products to the neighboring town of Maddela and the neighboring province of Nueva Vizcaya. Local residents used to use bancas and ferry boats as mode of transportation through the Nagtipunan River."
DAR Undersecretary, Herman Z. Ongkiko and JICA representative, C.R.Niwa, led the turn-over ceremonies of the Katimbang bridge last Feb. 9, at Sitio Katimbang, San Ramos, in Quirino province together with Assistant Secretary for Foreign Assisted Project Services Office Herminia Fe B. San Juan, PMS Director Ma. Celerina G. Afable and Engr. Cristina Dagdag.
Regional Director Atty. Marjorie P. Ayson, Provincial Officer, Arthur E. Faeldon and Assistant Regional Directors Paramon Furigay and Jessbeth Quidasol were also present during the simple rites.
In the same occasion, the DAR also turned over a post harvest facility to the Quirino Farmers Multi-Purpose Cooperative (QFMPC). The facility and the Katimbang bridge would greatly help enhance the agri-businesses that the cooperatives are pursuing.
Niwa said that he is proud of the accomplishment made by the DAR and partner agencies as one of the large scale projects under ARISP III intended for the agrarian reform communities and for rural development.
He urged the LGU, community and all stakeholders to help in the maintenance of the bridge so that it would last longer.
USEC Ongkiko acknowledged the partnership of DPWH, DENR and NIA for the construction of the infra projects.
He thanked Mayor Rosario Camma of Nagtipunan and Governor Junie Cua for the local government's 30% share of the total cost serving as its counterpart equity. He assured the QFMPC of the continuity of support projects to the agrarian reform community.
"The project is of great help to the agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) and the 911 constituents of Sitio Katimbang, San Ramos, Nagtipunan," brgy chairman, Oscar Ballesteros said. (Ditas Cadiente)

Obituary – Elizabeth "Betty" Lawson Zaedow Beck
May 3, 2017
SAN JUAN – Elizabeth "Betty" Lawson Zaedow Beck passed away peacefully from Alzheimer's on April 30, 2017. The oldest of 6 siblings, Betty was born on May 29, 1927 to Lelia Mae (Flaherty) Ellis Lawson and Edward Lawson in Fulton County, Illinois.
After marrying Paul L. Zaedow in 1948, they moved to the Rio Grande Valley and started a family. Betty touched the hearts of many souls along her life's journey. She was known to many as a second mom, an Angel here on earth and a devoted mother, she was always smiling, kind hearted and helping those less fortunate with compassion and grace. She met many of her lifelong friends as a volunteer at the Methodist church, the Knapp Medical Center and Comfort House. She worked at Burris Dry Cleaners and the Junction Café in Pharr, TX.
She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Duane Beck, her four sisters, Zella Hamilton, June Suttie, Bonnie Best and Leona Booth.
She is survived by her loving brother Louis A. McBee, her three children, Rodney (Esmeralda) Zaedow, P.J. Jarzombek and Carla Zaedow, two granddaughters, six great-grandchildren and family friend Sara Lopez; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. We wish to thank the caregivers at Briarcliff Nursing home in McAllen for all their help.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, May 2, 2017 from 1pm to 9pm at Ric Brown Family Funeral Home of Mission. Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, May 3, 2017 at 1:30 pm at Ric Brown Family Funeral Home of Mission. Burial will follow at Valley Memorial Gardens in McAllen. Services are under the direction of Ric Brown Family Funeral Home of Mission.
2 Comments
Betty will be missed by many. For me she had always showed her love friendship and respect to me. I will always feel honored that as a friend of Carla I was able to meet her mother and over the years enjoy her love. My heart and warmest wishes for Carla and her entire family and friends.↓
Our condolences to the family. Betty leaves behind many fond memories to be treasured by all who loved her so. I hope you can find comfort in your precious memories as well as God's promise to resurrect those who have died (John 5:28,29). We, with you, look forward to the time when all pain, sickness and even death will be done away with as promised in Revelation 21:3,4. We hope God's promises for the future bring you comfort during this difficult time.↓

Thoughts create matter.
The thought is literally, created by someone else using your body and mind. Record yourself watching television, netflix, walking dead, youtube, driving…you enter a state called: NUL
Let me explain.
- Null character, the zero-valued ASCII character, also designated by NUL, often used as a terminator, separator or filler'
Don't be a NUL!
When you accept the virtual, you make it real. It loses it's virtual status quo. Stop being mindless. (Ref: wal-e)
This brings me to a theory I have been working on.
Let's say there is a sick human being, could be terminally ill, flu, mental, short circuits, etc. If we were to create an app, similar to Farmville but focused on us getting this being to a better state, to heal this being and have 83,000,000 active users per month using the app to heal the being, I theorize, the being will be healed.
It's not…Just Do It. It should be Just Be It.
Nike got you good. They drove it down to your core. They claim their way is by DOing it. And i say fuck that. Let's BE it. Just Be. (Ref: Wieden+Kennedy) [another Kennedy!]
Just be it.
Makes you kinda ask yourself…
What are you thinking about? ≈creating? ≈serving?
The genie in the bottle? Ha. Good one. That's it in a nutshell. Rub the bottle and you get three wishes. Yet you still have to rely on the big guy to make it happen. I say nope. I'll take my chances and believe in my being to manifest what it is that i want. You cannot grant me my wish, because my wish is mine to make.
You know who the genies are? the stars and their bottle looks like this:

Frisco ISD is committed to helping students along the road to the future – whether that means college, technical and career training, the military, or straight into the workforce.
A major part of that road trip begins today. Members of the Class of 2017 who are interested in applying for a Frisco Education Foundation scholarship to help with college expenses can now begin their online application.
Announcements and meetings about the process have been happening at campuses for the past several weeks. The Foundation suggests students fill out the recommendations section right away, before moving on to writing the essay portion.
"We always recommend that students have someone – a parent or family friend – review the essay," said Terri West, program specialist for the Foundation.
The deadline for submitting the application is firm. There are no exceptions. The application must be submitted by 4 p.m. on Friday, December 16.
For many Frisco ISD graduates, receiving a Frisco Education Foundation scholarship was the starting point on their path to success.
The Frisco Education Foundation has awarded more than $4.2 million in scholarship funds since 1999, when FEF held its first scholarship night. In addition, FEF has awarded another $550,000 in grants to FISD educators to carry out "Great Ideas" in the classroom.
FEF Board Member Ortega Pittman visited several FISD high schools recently to meet with seniors about the scholarship program and the roadmap to applying. She is part of a team of Foundation supporters who work to inform students.
"This is an opportunity to inspire students, to raise awareness about opportunities," she said.
The Foundation offers students, some of whom may not have thought about the financial side of college, awareness and resources.
"Kids get excited and ready to move ahead," Pittman said. "The Foundation is passionate about rewarding talent – we recognize that we have a variety of students. The way Frisco Education Foundation helps our students seek higher education is one of the things that draws people to Frisco."
Pittman says she loves how the Foundation brings the community together to support students through efforts such as the Gary Burns Annual Fun Run.
"We are demonstrating to everyone, this is how we function in Frisco ISD," Pittman said."We go out to the students. We have a contact person that they can call with questions. We have scholarship recipients who have finished their education and are living in our community. We (FEF and FISD) are developing the community's infrastructure."
The Frisco Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization working in partnership with Frisco Independent School District and the Frisco-area community to enhance the educational opportunities of students. Learn more at www.friscoeducationfoundation.org.

What's the point, Puritan Pine?
Occasionally, Reglar Wiglar Magazine asks a band, artist or musician: What's it all about? What's the point and why go on? This week we ask wood prudes, Puritan Pine PURITAN PINE:
What's it all about?
What it's all about is RATCHED CORE, a new sound guaranteed to momentarily entrance rock critics, hipsters and the blogosphere. It has something to do with girl groups, nineties rock and a dash of dissonance from the SST/Teen Beat/Homestead realm. Puritan Pine is the sole source, and we'll be opening this scene up on Friday, March 8 at Township in the fashionably shabby Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago. Also on the bill are Orions and Sentinels. Put down your Pabst and tater tots and get RATCHED.
What's the point?
The point is... well, we already made our point a few months back, when we packed the notorious Mutiny Corporation in Chicago and walked off with a big stack of cash from Ed the proprietor. Nobody got stabbed and we got to drink our Old Style pitchers right there on the street. Utterly ratched. What comes after that? R. Kelly can have Pitchfork for all we care.
Why go on?
We go on because we have an EP to push: BOOMERANG. It'll be done as soon as we get it all mastered right. And we go on because our drummer Kimmie is an ex- Sea Punk in search of a new scene. She was orphaned when her habitat was mercilessly exploited by some music reporters from a free newspaper desperate for indie cred. It all got ruined quick.
To interested parties: do come to the show, but do not ask the drummer about her monocle. Do not talk at the drummer at all.

Thanks to Pam at Pam's Midwest Kitchen Korner for sharing this recipe on her blog, we had it for dinner tonight and it was amazing. She is so correct about this being a moist and tangy dish; it worked great over some Jasmine rice. I am usually not a fan of anything with mushrooms in it but my husband simply loves them so I still made this dish with them included, I did change the recipe just a little to make it more Dunkin friendly so if you want to see the original recipe please check out Pam's wonderful blog. This made a fantastic supper on a rainy Sunday night in Beaverton, YUMM-O!
3 - Chicken Breast (cubed)
4 oz. - Cremini Mushrooms (sliced)
1 C. - Sour Cream
1 C. - Chicken Stock
1/2 Tsp. - Salt
1 Tbs. - Johnny's Garlic Seasoning
1 Tsp. - Smoked Paprika
1/2 Tsp. - Pepper
Place the sour cream, chicken stock, salt, pepper, paprika and Johnny's in a bowl and combine well. Add the mushrooms and mix to combine. Place the cubed chicken in the bottom of a baking dish and cover with the sour cream mixture. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes. Serve over rice or noodles.
Note: After cooking the sauce was a little too thin for our liking, I made a slurry of milk and cornstarch to thicken the sauce on the stove top.

Jardine's Book of Martyrs is a blog mainly devoted to events in Covenanter History both great and small – many of them little known.
The 'Meeting of General Dalziel and Captain Paton of Meadowhead' appears in Lays of the Covenanters (1880), by Reverend James Dodds of Dunbar. It details the 1684 capture of Captain John Paton by General Tam Dalyell of the Binns (the aristocratic ancestor of the Tam Dalyell who died back in January.) In this section, we can see a local reference:
Calm as a dove he sleepeth.
And he surrenders patiently
To those who come to snare him:
When, fast as horses feet can tramp,
To Edinburgh town they bear him.
And now they skirt Corstorphine Hill,
With August blossoms merry:
When by the way Dalziel rides forth,
To see what spoils they carry.
The full version can be seen on Dr Mark Jardine's blog – link below. The rest of the blog comes highly recommended by me, and covers a great deal of the Central Belt.
