Grateful Dead Europe '72 Vol 2
Get the Grateful Dead Europe '72 Vol 2 at Amazon2011 two CD live archive release, the long-awaited 'sequel' to their best-selling Europe '72 album. Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux, who produced this 20-track compilation, says he only chose song titles that did not appear on Europe '72 as a way to complement the original. In a nod to the original, Vol. 2 features new cover art by Stanley Mouse, the artist who helped create the iconic artwork from Europe '72, which features the return of the legendary Ice Cream Kid. Recorded at various locations during the band's 22-show tour, the collection captures the Dead in white-hot moments of improvisational revelry as the band explores a number of its most enduring songs, like "Bertha," "Sugaree" and "Playing In the Band," plus relatively obscure cuts like "Black-Throated Wind" and Pigpen's "Chinatown Shuffle." Disc one "Bertha" (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) – 5:53 "Me and My Uncle" (John Phillips) – 3:13 "Chinatown Shuffle" (Ron "Pigpen" McKernan) – 2:38 "Sugaree" (Garcia, Hunter) – 6:56 "Beat It On Down The Line" (Jesse Fuller) – 3:11 "Loser" (Garcia, Hunter) – 6:29 "Next Time You See Me" (Bill Harvey, Earl Forest) – 4:57 "Black-Throated Wind" (Bob Weir, John Barlow) – 6:00 "Dire Wolf" (Garcia, Hunter) – 4:46 "Greatest Story Ever Told" (Weir, Mickey Hart, Barlow) – 4:52 "Deal" (Garcia, Hunter) – 5:05 "Good Lovin'" (Rudy Clark, Arthur Resnick) – 12:09 "Playing in the Band" (Weir, Hart, Hunter) – 11:55Disc two "Dark Star" (Garcia, Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, McKernan, Weir, Hunter) > – 19:49 "Drums" (Kreutzmann) > – 2:24 "The Other One" (Weir, Kreutzmann) > – 30:27 "Sing Me Back Home" (Merle Haggard) – 10:58 "Not Fade Away" (Norman Petty, Charles Hardin) > – 4:24 "Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad" (traditional, arranged by Grateful Dead) > – 6:08 "Not Fade Away" (Petty, Hardin) – 2:45

Russian Christmas ballet play to excite Kenyan audience
- Details
- Written by Super User
Kenyan families have the chance to enjoy one of the world's most beloved Russian Christmas ballet plays, The Nutcracker, days before the festive season officially begins at the Kenya National Theatre.
The play, which will be performed by the students of the Academy of Dance and Art, who are the organizers, will be its third performance in the country. "The response from our plays in the previous years has been overwhelming," said Ann, the administrator of the school. "That is why we have chosen to perform it for a third consecutive time."
Nutcracker tells the story of a young girl, Clara, who falls asleep under a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve while holding a nutcracker that was gifted to her by her godfather. When the clock strikes midnight, the toys around the tree come to life and an epic battle ensues between an army of mice and the army of toy soldiers, who are led by the nut cracker.
The battle is won by the nutcracker's army and the mouse king is killed leading to his army to flee. The nutcracker then turns into a handsome prince, who leads Clara in a land of snow where they are welcomed by dancing snowflakes.
Then he leads her to a land of sweets, where they are greeted with a celebration of dances; the Russian dance, Arabian dance, Spanish dance and the Waltz of flowers among others.
The Academy of Dance and Art boasts of teachers that are professionally trained ballet dancers.
"All our teachers, who are from the UK, Greece and South Africa, are professional ballerinas so people can expect a very good show," said Ann.
The ballet play will take place on 17th at the Kenya National Theater from 7pm.Tickets are going for Sh1000 for children and Sh1500 for adults.

For reasons unknown, YouTube has decided to add a vuvuzela button on some of its featured videos. It looks like a small football in the bottom right corner of the player and it's hard to miss.
Of course, adding the most annoying sound known to man to videos might not seem like a good idea, but at least the user can switch it on or off. Sadly, the same cannot be said for thousands of daft football fans who seem to like the godawful racket.
The feature is not available on all YouTube videos. We would love to see it on Steve Jobs's or Steve Ballmer's keynotes. It would make them more bearable.

This is a HUGE misconception. Knowing the state of health of your frogs is something everyone should strive to accomplish.
Darts and many, many animals breed when they are stressed. So;
When a huge low comes through, they breed because they think it's the end of the world, or at least a period of bad weather is coming and they may never get a chance to breed again.
When we stress them by moving them into a new environment, be it new viv or half way around the world.
The key thing people who just want offspring and want them right away need to understand is that a little short term stress will produce breeding activity, short term.
Now short term to someone who plans to turn the frogs over is great (not at all saying Juan is doing this). A little stress, a few pics of eggs , tads and maybe even a few froglets and now we have a pumilio breeder.
What people who have had the same groups of 'successful' frogs year after year understand is that short term breeding is just that. And long term health , healthy life longevity and then production and then actually keeping the froglets alive to adult breeding age should be closer to the goal.
Some people will never be happy with Ray Jr., the way Panama is currently exporting, and the issues constantly and validly raised, all the while simply hoping at some time the bar will be raised as well.

Do you realise Venutas is an anagram of Aventus?
Thread: Question about Aedes de Venutas
Last time I purchased from them, they gave me an option to choose 7 samples to include with my order.
Is there any other site that sells niche fragrances and gives free samples with orders as well?
The reason why I ask is because I am looking to buy a bottle of Jubilation XXV and want to get samples of other amouages as well but they dont have any discounts or promotions. I can get a bottle of jubilation for a lot cheaper at beautyencounter but all they give is bogus pierre cardin samples.
Basically i am looking to buy jubilation as cheap as I can get and want to sample 2-3 other amouages as well.
any ideas?
Do you realise Venutas is an anagram of Aventus?
Luckyscent or Aedes should give you some free samples with purchase. You could also try www.theperfumeshoppe.com, they have a good sampling program.
My experiences have been that depending on the amount of money you spend at Luckyscent with the purchase - that has determined the number of free samples that were included. Once I received 28 free samples with a purchase from Luckyscent. Granted, it was a large purchase.
MiN also gives you 3-4 samples. Although their site may say they have in-stock, they do not have any and probably won't for several weeks. I recommend calling Aedes before placing the order to make sure they have in stock.
MinNY or Theperfumeshoppe for samples - I deal with Naz at the VCR, Canada store of the perfumeshoppe, a pleasure every time, I spend a good amt every time as well, however, she's always generous to me on samples. Getting 5 samples from the the incense series of CdG with my Nasomatto purchase this time (getting it tomorrow)!!!
In terms of price, as a Canadian, fragrancenet.com is my preferred choice, as a fyi, I did see a whole list of amouage's pop up on their website, most of which are not available currently, but should be soon, if not they will not be adding all this up to their website. Last month, all they had was Amouage Gold in their inventory. With 20% discount and the ebates cash back, i think their price will be the least among online sources...
MiN is a mixed bag in my experience. I've ordered twice, once an Amouage, the other a Tauer. The first time I didn't get any samples (the more expensive purchase...Amouage), but with the second I got 3 Heely samples in a generous size.
Lately Parfum1 has been including a couple samples.... you don't get to choose, but it's usually stuff I'd be interested in trying.
I don't know much about medicine, but I know what I like. -- S.J. Perelman

An Escort Dance Party Comes to The Bowery Ballroom TomorrowAugust 16th, 2013
Guitarist Dan Balis and keyboardist Eugene Cho met at Vassar College and started making house music together under the name Escort about 10 years ago. Initially it was just a studio project, but they sensed they were on to something bigger. And while it's disco music, it remains contemporary rather than feeling like a throwback. One thing that really sets Escort apart from other dance-music purveyors is the lack of samples and computers in their live shows. Instead, Balis and Cho front a 17-piece band, making them a live act not to miss. So don't. Watch them, above, doing "Cocaine Blues," stream their most recent album, Escort Remixed, below, and then join in on the dance party when Escort play The Bowery Ballroom tomorrow night.

Received The Rare Beer Club Four Bottles membership as a gift from my son. These are great beers I would not have ever had the chance to sample on my own. We have very much enjoyed every shipment. Over all, the quality level is just superb. I'm a dark beer guy but even the lighter beers and ales have been fantastic and far above anything I could find locally at any store. This is serious beer.

So far I love it!

This site is serious about customer service. The response time could be a little quicker but the service recovery was amazing. I had a couple beers freeze back in February and they sent the next shipment free of charge. That is just excellent!

text: Two years ago, the 150th anniversary of Keir Hardie's birth passed unmarked. Yesterday, at a Guardian fringe event at the party conference in Manchester, the man who founded the Labour party, familiar to most only as a bearded ascetic glaring from a Victorian photograph, was named as its greatest hero. Hardie, the impoverished and, until he was 17, illiterate Lanarkshire miner who wanted a movement that would declare war "on a system, not a class" shaped a Labour party that would be reforming rather than revolutionary. He owed much to low church Christianity and appealed to middle-class radicals as well as working-class trade unionists. Hardie was a passionate advocate of social justice, redistributive taxation, republicanism and women's suffrage. In 1892 he won in West Ham and became the country's first socialist MP. At Westminster, he turned the cloth cap into a badge of honour, but an attack on the monarchy cost him his seat. He devoted himself to unifying industrial and political campaigners into one movement. It was launched in 1900 as the Labour Representation Committee and Hardie became one of its first two MPs. He continued to espouse radical causes, calling for self-rule for India and equality between the races in South Africa. He led the party he had created until 1910, when he gave up to concentrate on international socialism and pacifism. A man "indivisible from his gospel", he was perhaps not a politician for our times, but one whose influence ought still to be felt.

The company is positioning these as budget models in the lineup, but the speaker-geeks didn't skimp on performance; and we love 'em for that. They've front-mounted new 8- and 10-inch polymer-composite cones into updated cabinets with removable grills, and added auto on/off circuitry for the green crowd. The PDR-8 uses 300-Watts to hit its 32-Hz limit, the PDR-10 has 60 more Watts and reaches 3 Hz lower. Available in black or silver, but no pricing was in the press release, so head on over to your dealer if you're interested.

There's another side to this story. Are you sure Google will index XHTML 2.0 as soon as browsers start supporting it?
This was an issue for XHTML until recently (1 year or so if I remember correctly), and still is for XML.
XML with XSLT will work perfectly in IE and FF (though not in Opera), but one cannot use XML client-side because Google is not indexing it.
When we're talking XML, Google and Opera are the villains, not IE.
They index Microft Word documents and they don't index XML. How stupid is that?

Fire Destroys Part of Hog Confinement
From ConnecticutTristates.com
April 2009
Half of the 5,400 pigs were killed...
Authorities are trying to determine the cause of a fire near Littleton, Illinois in Schuyler County that destroyed part of the Timberline LLC Professional Swine Management Wednesday night.
Fire crews from several departments were called to the scene to battle the blaze and remained at the scene for hot spots.
KHQA spoke with Timberline veterinarian Dr. Hollis Thursday, who confirmed that two of four buildings that housed sows and piglets burned, killing about half of the 5,400 animals housed there.
This weekend the Department of Agriculture along with the Illinois EPA will be on hand to make sure the clean-up is done correctly and the animals are disposed of properly.
Hollis says safety for the remaining animals is top priority since electricity has been shut off to the remaining two buildings.

OC Music Awards Showcase: Night 3
The Slide Bar Rock-N-Roll Cafe
January 22, 2013
The OC Music Awards Showcase continued it's excursion on the quest to find OC's best live band for night three at the Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Cafe in downtown Fullerton. To test the nominated bands originality, stage presence, crowd participation and overall appeal where a few of the elite members of the OC Music Awards Academy which is comprised of music journalists, radio personalities, booking agents and industry professionals who help support our local music scene. Starting at 8 p.m., the showcase featured and interesting array of bands including Anna Vexa, Snakebit Drifters, Fiction Reform, Beneath the Buried and Death Hymn Number 9 who all brought their own eclectic crowds and energy to the Slide Bar stage.

*Coachella "Leaks," Confirmations and Rumors
Slide Bar seemed like the perfect venue to host such an array of rockers
and, well, rawkers. Not only is it known for their Rock-N-Roll "I don't
give a fuck" mentality, but the entire bar is adorned with memorabilia
from some of Orange County's most famed musicians including a a signed No Doubt
drum set in which we almost died of envy over. The only thing missing
was a decent DJ to keep the party going in between the acts – or wait
that's not allowed in punk rock is it? It didn't seem to matter however
the sound system was blaring so loud the 15-minute break intermissions
where about the only time you could have a conversation with your
friends or ask the waitress for another beer.
First up were Anaheim five-piece Anna Vexa who kind of disturbed us a little (literally, these guys sound a lot like Disturbed). Whether it was the dramatic, baritone vocals, the ultra crunchy riffs or the djembe jams they worked in here and there, their sound screamed 90s FM rock radio. If you were looking for a textbook rock act, there ya go.
The Snakebit Drifters left one hell of an impression as the three-piece ensemble relied on upright bass, sheer rockabilly swagger and Tim Willi's deep raw vocals which transcend you into another time. They had a large crowd which seemed to relate to his tales of old Cadillacs and whiskey-filled nights as the rock and roll with a punk twist resonated from the turned up sound system. At one point, he let out all his angst as he fell to the floor on his back only to come back up to the elusive guitar riffs of their song "Diamond Ring." The band's pure musicianship, instrumentation and energy throughout allowed them to put on a solid show.
Punk-rock band Fiction Reform made their presence known loud and clear as they proved chicks can rock as hard as anyone else with the vocals of Brenna Red – who by the way also rocked the guitar. What was really showcased here besides the pure authentic punk rock sound was Aaron Chabak's ability to memorize you with his guitar skills. Oh ya, and that Jefferson Airplane "White Rabbit" cover got us too.
There was an obvious divide between the punk crowd and the more post hardcore kids ready to put their FTW hands up as Beneath the Buried took the stage. They were the obvious crowd favorite with heir explosive metal sound and spastic screams (annoying if you ask me). But nothing could have been more seditious than Death Hymn Number 9's gory zombie make-up and outlandish on stage presence. The fusion of garage rock punk was pretty bad ass too, even when the band forgot which song they were playing. Or did they?
Critical Bias: Though my editor likes to coin my as the "EDM Diva," that doesn't mean I can't channel the punk rock girl in me still from my Chain Reaction and Vans Warped Tour hey days.
The Crowd: Was as varied as the music from the bands, but I assume it was mostly fans and industry people supporting our local music.
Overheard: "The drummer to Death Hymn Number 9 looks like the zombie undead version of Keith Moon's son."
Random Notebook Dump: The service was incredibly on point for how crowded it was and you can't go wrong with $3 imports!

PyroScope is a collection of tools for the BitTorrent protocol and especially the rTorrent client. "pyrocore" is the component providing command line tools for automation of common tasks, like metafile creation, and controlling rTorrent via its XML-RPC interface. It also offers a documented API, with which these tools are implemented.
PHPTracker is a PHP library to generate .torrent files, set up a Bittorrent tracker server, and a seed server too. It is capable of creating standard .torrent files from any file on your server, tracking client peers and managing peer announcements, and initially seeding your file with a peer daemon that automatically shuts down once you have enough external seeders.
pytvshows downloads torrents for TV shows from RSS feeds provided by ezrss.it (previously tvRSS.net). It is designed to be run from cron or a shell and interfaces with BitTorrent clients like Transmission (via the Transmission RPC API) or any other BitTorrent client that supports folder monitoring (most). This is a resurrection of the venerable pytvshows script by Ben Firshman.
Btpd is a utility for sharing files over the BitTorrent network protocol. It runs in daemon mode, thus needing no controlling terminal or GUI. Instead, the daemon is controlled by the btcli command line utility or other programs capable of sending commands and queries on the btpd control socket.

BANGKOK–Scientists said they were thrilled – but nonetheless baffled – that a developmental AIDS vaccine has shown significant success.
Test results released here yesterday showed the vaccine – a combination of two vaccines that have not worked in humans before – cut the risk of becoming infected with HIV by more than 31 per cent.
It was the world's largest AIDS vaccine trial of more than 16,000 volunteers in Thailand.
"I don't want to use a word like `breakthrough,' but I don't think there's any doubt that this is a very important result," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is one of the trial's backers.
"For more than 20 years now, vaccine trials have essentially been failures," he said. "Now ... we can start asking some very important questions."
The World Health Organization and the UN agency UNAIDS said the surprising results, "instilled new hope" in the field of HIV vaccine research.
Trial results of the vaccine, known as RV 144, were released by the partners that ran the trial: the United States Army, the Thai Ministry of Public Health, Fauci's institute, and the patent-holders for the two parts of the vaccine, Sanofi-Pasteur and Global Solutions for Infectious Diseases.
Col. Jerome Kim, a physician who is manager of the U.S. Army's HIV vaccine program, said half the volunteers were given six doses of two vaccines in 2006 and half were given placebos. They then got regular tests for the AIDS virus for three years. Of those who got placebos, 74 became infected, while only 51 of those who got the vaccines did.
That meant the vaccine was 31.2 per cent effective, Kim said.
Scientists would seldom consider licensing a vaccine less than 70 or 80 per cent effective, Fauci said.
The vaccine had no effect on HIV levels in those who did get infected. This, Kim said, was the most confusing aspect of the trial. Normally, a vaccine that gives partial protection, a mismatched flu shot, for example, at least lowers the viral load.
Even a marginally helpful vaccine could have an impact. Every day, 7,500 people worldwide are infected with HIV; two million died of AIDS in 2007, UNAIDS estimates.

By Richard Satran –
Having trouble getting home financing? You're not alone. Even wealthy people are getting rejected under the tough new lending rules adopted after 2008's housing market crash. Moneyed enclaves are still feeling the impact of tight mortgage money. In the breezy New Hampshire lakes region where "On Golden Pond" was filmed and waterfront homes routinely sell in the $5 million to $10 million range, sales are "brisk" but loan applications are often rejected, says sales associate Jerry Love of Peabody & Smith Realty in Holderness, N.H., on the shore of Squam Lake.
"We don't see deals sail through with the automatic approvals that we used to see," Love says. "And we are seeing plenty of wealthy people turned down on million-dollar loans who would easily have qualified a few years back." The rules may get even tougher under proposals now being considered in Washington designed to cap borrowing as a percentage of income. That will be especially bad news for first-time homebuyers and people with moderate incomes who have the hardest time lining up financing. But even those with millions in assets and high credit scores are being turned down if their income is low. And in a low-rate environment, their investment income counts for less than ever on bank loan applications.
"People with a lot of resources are usually OK getting first mortgages, but they are finding they can't refinance or get funding for a second home," says Tyler Vernon, a loan specialist for Biltmore Capital Advisors in Princeton, N.J. "Of course it's a nice, high-level problem to have. But it's a real problem for retirees in places like the Northeast."
Also, while increasingly stringent income requirements are posing the most barriers, stingy assessments are also a frequent problem for costlier deals, according to real estate agents and lenders. In part, that's because "assessors are protecting themselves because banks have been suing them over mortgage failures that showed inflated values," Vernon says. Costly properties can pose difficulties when assessors try to find comparable sales for estimating what mansions are worth, Love adds.
"Everything has moved to a much more rigorous underwriting environment, and every datapoint in every application is verified, checked and documentation is gone over multiple times," says Michael Fratantoni, vice president of single-family research and policy development at the Mortgage Bankers Association.
People with money are finding ways to buy properties, but in the first go-around, they are finding surprises. "The lenders want income statements. They want to check with employers directly on people's work record, and they want to see people who have been in jobs for awhile," Love says. "That's not something our wealthy buyers can always show."
To be sure, it's first-time buyers and people with moderate incomes who are having the most trouble getting credit, Fratantoni says. But this is a dramatically different lending environment no matter what income strata you are in. The MBA's index on mortgage credit availability has risen slightly over the past year, but it's nothing like it was prior to the crash. The MBA's credit availability index is just two years old. But it calculates that home financing would have been eight times as easy in the years leading up to the housing collapse.
Still, some lending has thawed a bit. The MBA says that there has been some recent easing up on loan requirements, and wealthier borrowers have benefited the most: Even borrowers without high incomes are starting to qualify based on healthy savings and high credit scores alone. "They have a better chance, but not every lender is willing to do that," Fratantoni says. "It might require some shopping around."
But even as the housing market improves, loan originations overall are expected to drop by 10 percent this year versus last, according to the MBA. Banks remain reluctant to part with their own reserves, even though they are flush after five years of easy money from the Federal Reserve. Fratantoni says the change in credit availability reflects the banks' more prudent lending and the elimination of "no-documention" and "interest-only" loans that led to many of the foreclosures in the real estate crash. Also, bad loans of all shapes and sizes are still working their way through foreclosures and court proceedings. Just last month, prosecutors in New Jersey filed charges against one of television's "Real Housewives of New Jersey," Teresa Giudice, and her husband Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice, who were charged with falsifying income data on $2 million in home mortgages dating back to the early 2000s when standards were loose.
Financial regulators are also pushing for controls to avoid the excesses that led to the crash. The new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been pushing for a limit on borrowing when a debt-to-income ratio exceeds 43 percent, although Congressional opponents worry it will "reduce access to credit that qualified borrowers need to buy homes," according to a press release issued by members of a House Financial Services subcommittee.
Lending experts say consumers need to be well-prepared to deal with the stringent process when they seek loans. Documentation is important, sometimes in the form of a letter from an employer. People seeking mortgages should also be prepared to shop for deals. Different lenders have much different standards. Down payments are rising for many loans, with 20 percent to 30 percent equity required from private lenders. For those who qualify for FHA loans, the down payment is 3.5 percent, but requirements for the federal lending program are stringent. Two years in a job and a credit score of 620 or better are needed, and costly mortgage insurance adds more than a percentage point to the lifetime cost of the loan. For wealthy buyers, FHA loans don't help much since they are capped at $625,000.
The high-end lending market is slowly recovering, though, and private lenders are extending credit for the well-heeled while avoiding the starter-home set that can borrow through government programs. "It's more work but things are getting done," says Love, whose clients are mostly those with enough money to afford a second home. "We are very busy this summer, and we haven't even gotten to the peak period [at summer's end when people often buy vacation homes.]"
Biltmore's Vernon says his firm has been busy getting loans for wealthy clients who borrow against their investment portfolios. The rate of borrowing in so-called margin accounts has reached near the all-time highs just before the 2008 market crash. That strategy is attractive because such arrangements offer rates as low as 1 percent and sometimes even less, and they require no additional down payment because the banks hold the securities that back up the loans. "It's almost no risk to the banks because the securities are pledged as collateral," Vernon says.
The downside is that if the securities fall in value, the borrower's assets can be liquidated. Vernon says he advises caution and recommends such borrowers keep "back-up emergency funds" like a home equity credit line. The rates can also increase as overnight bank-lending benchmark rates rise.
MBA's Fratantoni worries that a further increase in interest rates could cause problems for borrowers at all income levels. "People's credit has been getting better since the crisis," he says. "But any time you see a rapid increase in rates, anything tied to variable rates has some additional risk." Bankers and consumer advocates find themselves in rare agreement on the issue. Easing loan terms too much could be risky for banks and borrowers.

Weird vibe to predictions this year. The stats-based systems like the A's chances better than most humans. PECOTA's latest update has the A's at 84-78, winning the division over the injury-plagued Angels by three games.
Except for statheads, most predictions I've seen have the team finishing second, or in some cases, third.
I'm not terribly optimistic. You build a team around proven starters, and the A's have zero. Expect quite a few days, especially on the road, when the team gets blown out early. A Jamie Moyer type would look mighty solid right now. My main hope is that by midseason, Billy Beane, Bob Geren and Curt Young will have found four pitchers who can be relied on for six innings. Five quality starters is almost too much to hope.
Prediction: 80-82, second place.
What's your prediction? Bragging rights will only be awarded in October if you provide a season record and a place.

Teens are always looking for extra spending money; and the one thing they usually have in the summer is time. So instead of having them sit in the house all summer on the internet or text-messaging, get them out of the house and put them to work!
Seriously though, encouraging your teen or child to start earning money and saving some of their earnings is a great way to lead them down the path of financial responsibility as well as learning to take personal responsibility.
If your teen is earning and saving their own money, Smarty Pig offers targeted savings for savings goals, as well as one of the highest interest rates of all online high interest savings accounts, and is a great way for them to establish savings goals.
Here are 15 ways your teen can make extra money this summer:
Washing & detailing cars- A task that a lot of people don't like to do; but everyone wants a clean car inside and out.
Babysitting- The old standard.
Household chores for others- Especially for elderly neighbors, or someone just too busy looking for a little help with cleaning, etc.
Pet sitting- Most people would rather leave their pets at home than board them when they go on vacation.
House sitting/watching- I used to do this one also for a couple of neighbors when they went out of town, taking in their mail, watering plants, etc.
Dog walking- Offer your services to neighbors who work long hours but want their pets to get some exercise.
Minor home improvement- Like painting, house washing, etc.
Cutting grass/yard work- I used to mow lawns myself when I was a teen, and it paid pretty well even back then. Teens can also do gardening, raking leaves, etc. Many people don't really like to do this themselves, but grass grows like crazy in the summer.
Lifeguard-The YMCA and country clubs are always busy during the summer months. if you have a pool, give swimming lessons to younger children.
Summer camp counselor- Another great seasonal job for teens.
Daycare centers- These usually have higher enrollments during the summer as well and are looking for part-time help-perfect for teenagers.
Tutoring- Many parents are looking to give their kids an "edge" or additional contact time in certain school subjects during the summer.
Computer lessons/help- Let's face it, most teens are a lot more computer literate and web-savvy than adults. Why not pass the knowledge along to others and make a little money in the meantime?
Sell things on Ebay- Old CD's, movies, video games, and books are just a few things that can still be sold used for money.
Or have them get a part-time job at a restaurant, the mall, or even a fast-food joint.
Alternatively, you can pay your teen to do work for you, either for many of the ideas above; or for extra chores or projects you have been putting off and can't find time to do yourself.
Again, if they start earning money, it is great time to teach them about saving and investing a portion of what they have earned. Suggest to them that they save certain percentage, and open a high-interest savings account for them. If they are saving up for a big purchase, try out smartypig.com as a way to track their savings toward their goal. Setting up their own online savings account, such as ING Direct, is a good idea too.
Many of these ideas can translate into something they can do with their free time during the school year as well- as long as they are keeping up their grades, of course.
Any other suggestions for ways for teens to make money?

The Conference of the Birds (Hardcover)
Email or call for price
Hard to Find
Celebrated children's book author and illustrator Peter Sis creates his first book for adults, a beautiful and uplifting adaptation of the classic twelfth-century Sufi epic poem, The Conference of the Birds.
In The Conference of the Birds Caldecott Honor-winning children's book author and illustrator Peter Sis breathes new life into this foundational Sufi poem, revealing its profound lessons.
Sis's deeply felt adaptation tells the story of an epic flight of birds in search of the true king, Simorgh. Drawn from all species, the band of birds is led by the hoopoe. He promises that the voyage to the mountain of Kaf, where Simorgh lives, will be perilous and many birds resist, afraid of what they might encounter. Others perish during the passage through the seven valleys: quest, love, understanding, friendship, unity, amazement, and death.
Those that continue reach the mountain to learn that Simorgh the king is, in fact, each of them and all of them. In this lyrical and richly illustrated story of love, faith, and the meaning of it all, Peter Sis shows the pain, and beauty, of the human journey.

Defending Super Late Model point champion, Donald Lingo, Jr. ended his season long drought as he picked up his first win in the 20-lap Super Late Model feature. Lingo became the 10th different winner in the division this season.
Mark Pettyjohn powered by Staci Warrington and Lou Johnson to lead the first lap of the feature. Donald Lingo, Jr. wasted no time coming from his fifth starting spot to second. Lingo was on a mission as he quickly caught Pettyjohn then took the lead in the fourth turn for lap three.
Richard Jarvis, Jr. was on a charge taking second from Pettyohn on lap five. At the halfway sign the top five were Lingo, Jr., Jarvis, Jr., Mark Pettyjohn, Kerry King and Kevin Scott, Jr.
The third and final yellow flew on lap 13 as Mark Pettyjohn came to a stop. Lingo was able to open an eight tenth of a second lead over Jarvis that he held for the final five laps to take the win. Jarvis finished in the second spot with King third. Fourth went to Scott, Jr. and Warrington rounded out the top five.
"The first four weeks I think were the worst start that we have had here in five of six year," said Lingo. "After that we have just been straight embarrassed. We couldn't get anything going in our direction. Tonight I thought that I was going to give it away on the cushion down there. It feels good – finally!"
Heats were won by Jarvis, Jr. and Andrew Mullins.

March 29, 2007 / Interesting or strangeWrong birds
The Digital Urban site has a great series of entries on the theme of Cities in Games. They've done City 17 from Half Life 2, which you could say is a current pinnacle, but they're easing off the more recent games and going a little retro with the first in a series based on Sinclair ZX Spectrum titles. First up is Ant Attack. I loved this game. And it's beautiful isometric view coupled with the spot use of color still looks classy. To me. The game is playable here.

WASHINGTON -- A scorching internal review of the Bush administration's billion-dollar-a-year reading program says the Education Department ignored the law and ethical standards to steer money how it wanted.
The government audit is unsparing in its view that the Reading First program has been beset by conflicts of interest and willful mismanagement. It suggests the department broke the law by trying to dictate which curriculum schools must use.
It also depicts a program in which review panels were stacked with people who shared the director's views, and in which only favored publishers of reading curriculums could get money.
In one e-mail, the director told a staff member to come down hard on a company he did not support, according to the report released yesterday by the department's inspector general.
``They are trying to crash our party and we need to beat the [expletive deleted] out of them in front of all the other would-be party crashers who are standing on the front lawn waiting to see how we welcome these dirtbags," the program director wrote, the report says.
That official, Chris Doherty, is resigning in the coming days, department spokeswoman Katherine McLane said yesterday. Asked if he was quitting in response to the report, she said only that Doherty is returning to the private sector after five years at the agency. Doherty declined comment.
Education Secretary Margaret Spellings pledged to swiftly adopt all the audit's recommendations. She also pledged a review of every Reading First grant her agency has approved.
``When something undermines the credibility of this department, or the standing of any program, I'm going to spring into action," Spellings said.
Reading First aims to help young children read through scientifically proven programs, and the department considers it a jewel of No Child Left Behind, Bush's education law. Just this week, a separate review found the effort is helping schools raise achievement.
But from the start, the program has been dogged by accusations of impropriety, leading to several ongoing audits. The new report from the Office of Inspector General -- an independent arm of the Education Department -- calls into question the program's credibility.
The ranking Democrat on the House education committee was furious.
``They should fire everyone who was involved in this," said Representative George Miller, a California Democrat. ``This was not an accident, this was not an oversight. This was an intentional effort to corrupt the process."
Spellings said the problems happened in the early days of the program, which began in 2002, before she was secretary. She said those responsible have left the agency or been reassigned.
About 1,500 school districts have received $4.8 billion in Reading First grants.
The report does not name Doherty, referring to him as the Reading First director.
It says he repeatedly used his influence to steer money toward states that used a reading approach he favored, called direct instruction, or DI.
In one case, the report says, he was told a review panel was stacked with people who backed that program.
``That's the funniest part -- yes!" he responded in e-mail dating to 2002. ``You know the line from Casablanca, `I am SHOCKED that there is gambling going on in this establishment!' Well, `I am SHOCKED that there are pro-DI people on this panel!' "
Spellings took issue with the use of such e-mails in the audit. She said they could be used to draw unfair conclusions about a person's intentions.
The inspector general rejected that. It said the e-mails were written by Doherty in his role as director, and there is no evidence they were inaccurate or out of context.
``I'm doing everything I can at this point," Spellings said. ``I can't undo what's been done."

The Ideal Death Show is a weekend gathering of entrepreneurs, pioneers and progressives from the funeral industry.
Here's a video of the show which took place in Winchester in September 2015.
At the Ideal Death Show you can talk about bereavement, funeral planning and the more unusual ways that people are choosing to mark their own passing.
We pick the best lecturers to talk about topics like what it feels like to die, what an embalmer does and how to write an obituary.
We invite people who work in 'funeral world' to tell us what's new, what goods and services they're offering and what they've observed in their work.
We host Death Cafés where people can speak honestly about their experiences of bereavement and loss.
We also invite keen bakers to make a funeral cake to take part in our competition. The bakers are asked to explain their motivation behind the cake's design.
in 2016 we're taking a rest.
It takes a long time to find a suitable venue, accessible to people across the country, which enables us to persuade the public to take part and get involved.
However, the Good Funeral Awards will be taking place this year as normal. And there will be small exhibition alongside the lunch. You can find out more at the Good Funeral Awards website.

Women's Tennis Defeats Carthage College In Season Opener
Sunday, February 22, 2009
The Calvin women's tennis team held its inaugural dual match inside the Huizenga Tennis and Track Center on Saturday and treated a home crowd to an 8-1 victory over regionally-ranked Carthage College.
The match also served as Calvin's season opener. Prior to the match, a short program honoring the benefactors of the facility took place.
A year ago, Calvin finished with an 18-5 dual match record, establishing a Calvin single-season record for dual match victories. One of those victories was against Carthage.
The Knights picked up their second consecutive win over the Reds by jumping out to a 3-0 lead with wins at all three doubles flights. Picking up doubles victories for Calvin were sophomores Melissa Oosterhouse (Grand Rapids Christian HS) and Kaitlin Spoelhof (Holland Christian HS) at No. 1 doubles, juniors Rachel Strikwerda (Holland Christian HS) and Jill VanVeen (Grand Rapids Christian HS) at No. 2 doubles and juniors Elisabeth Geenen (Holland Christian HS) and Rachel DeGroot (Lombard, IL) at No. 3 doubles.
Calvin then took five of the six singles points with Oosterhouse winning at No. 1 singles, Spoelhof at No. 2 singles, Geenen at No. 3 singles, Strikwerda at No. 4 singles and DeGroot at No. 6 singles.
Strikwerda and DeGroot both claimed come-from-behind three-set victories with Strikwerda winning 10-4 in the third set super-tiebreaker and DeGroot winning 10-7 in her third set super-tiebreaker.
Calvin will now prepare for a challenging week of action as they will travel to the University of Chicago on Friday and to Wheaton (IL) on Saturday. Chicago is ranked third in the most recent set of Division III Central Region rankings while Wheaton is ranked eighth in the region.

It's a cliché, but Lebanon is indeed a country of minorities. There have been no censuses since 1932, but it is estimated that about ninety percent of the four million inhabitants are Lebanese Arabs. The remainder consists mainly of Palestinians, who settled in camps like Sabra and Shatila (southern Beirut) after 1948, and Armenians, who fled from the Ottoman Empire during the First World War and live mainly in eastern Beirut.
Other divisions are religious. Generally speaking, the people of the coast and center are Christians, with the northern part of the country following the Sunnite Islam, and the eastern part (the Bekaa Valley) and the south being Shi'ite. This division is, however, misleading on three points.
In the first place, because these religious groups are divided into smaller groups: the Shi'ites in the deep south are 'twelvers' who are waiting for the return of the twelfth imam (among these Shi'ites, Hezbollah finds its supporters), while the Druzes in the central south are an unusual type of 'seveners'. The Alawis are another offshoot of the sevener Shia. Christians can be subdivided into Maronites and Greek Orthodox, although we also saw a Melkite church.
In the second place, the geographical division is not as smooth as it seems. For example, although the Bekaa Valley is mainly Shi'ite, the cities of Zahle and Chtaura are Christian. In the third place, some people are pious and orthodox and really define themselves in religious terms, while others are more secular.
So, there's no denying that Lebanon is a divided country. And it still matters. A man we met in Beirut, presumably Christian, was surprised we had gone to Tyre (Shi'ite), where he had never been. He believed tourists could go there without fear, but he was clearly not interested in going there personally.
