My dearest, loyal IBFITC readers (I guess I'm talking to you mom and dad), I profusely apologize for the posting desertification. All I can say is that it was tax time, my busiest time of the year. I believe I've mentioned here before that I am a die-hard procrastinator. I don't just wait until the last minute to do the taxes, I wait until three weeks before taxes are due to start entering last year's books for our businesses. What can I say, I'm highly motivated by deadlines. So I guess I'll just give you all a run down on what's been happening around here over the last three weeks.
Here Comes the Sun
We've been approved! For our solar project that is. I know I never even mentioned it before, but it was one of those things I was meaning to get around to. The gray water system was supposed to come first, but then I found out about this great deal.
I've dreamed of living in a solar powered home since my college days, which was *cough cough* 20 years ago or there abouts (Yeah, I may be middle-aged, but I still have the butt of a 20 year old, so there!). With the $17 grand price tag being the cheapest deal I could find, I figured I'd be waiting another 20 years to realize my dream. But then I ran into this guy at a local Meetup for chicken owners in the Bay Area who works for 1 Block Off the Grid and he told me that I could get the whole thing financed through this company called SunRun, all for the low low start up cost of $3 grand. In a nut shell, the dealio is that you pay this up front cost for installation, SunRun purchases and owns the panels, and then you buy back the power your panels produce from SunRun for a monthly flat fee, which is pretty much the same as your current electric bill. The super awesome perks are that it's an 18 year contract where SunRun is 100% liable for the maintenance and upkeep of your system, including any damage that might incur to other people's property (you know, just in case those gargantuan panels blew off your roof and landed on your neighbor's). And your bill will not go up unless you are using more energy than you are producing with your panels so you avoid the yearly rate increases saving a ton of money in the end. Not to mention that all that guilty pleasure Facebook time won't be powered by dirty coal. Although it will cost more than buying the panels outright, we love the flexibility of not being responsible for them and that we can choose to buy the panels at the end of our contract or just let SunRun take them back. Who knew chickens could lead us directly to solar power?
I would like to report that the chickens are grieving the absence of the goats, but alas, I think they're a touch relieved that they don't have to worry about being stepped on when the nutty goat antics start in. Every morning Pop Tart greets me with the "mount me" pose so I give her a back scratch and a little rub on the sides of her tail, a daily ritual as regular and scheduled as teeth brushing around here. But that's the best I'm going to do for her when it comes to beckoning to be bred. However, I did have to cross that line with Sweet Pea this week.
I found my darling bird straining one morning and was wondering if she had an egg stuck or something. I fear egg binding like a rooster fears the presence of a fox in the hen house. The removal procedure is beyond unappealing (***WARNING*** graphic discussion to follow.), as it entails sticking one's fingers as far up the chicken's backside as it will go, feeling for the egg, and trying to carefully guide the egg out without breaking it since that could cut up the intestines and cause death. You all know how I feel about more death. So I picked up Sweet Pea to get a gander at what was going on.
Well I found half a poo hanging out of her vent along with a bunch of her insides. "Damn it," I thought, "Another freakin' prolapse!" Yes, this was not my first experience with cloaca prolapse. When Eggo laid her first egg, the shell was soft and rubbery so the poor little babe strained so hard that her insides came out. Think of it as a really bad chicken hemorrhoid, like the kind ladies get when they give birth (consider yourself beyond fortunate if you have no idea what I am talking about). Most of the advice on the intraweb recommended culling, mainly because chickens get all riled up about blood and will peck an injured bird to death. I thought culling sounded a bit harsh and was glad that wasn't the prognosis for me after I gave birth to my daughter. Damn, that was ugly. Then I found some other handy advice that suggested sugar, witch hazel / Preparation H, triple antibiotic ointment, or honey to reduce swelling by slathering some on the vent and popping the innards back in. I like to cover all bases and thus made a concoction including all the above indications, washed down Eggo's back end, put the mixture on the bird's butt, and removed her from the others for a few days. She hasn't had a problem since.
In Sweet Pea's case, I didn't bother with the bath or the cover-all-bases remedy. I just stuck my finger inside to see, or I guess feel (strange how the inside of a chicken feels just like a vagina) would be the appropriate verb, what was going on and it seemed like she had a big crap that was distending her intestines (at least I think chickens have intestines) at a weird angle, kind of like diverticulitis, making it hard for her to get the doodie out. So I did what any caretaker would do and removed it for her. The DF feigned tossing his cookies as I scooped out a finger full of crap and flicked it on the ground. He swore he would never eat my cooking again. After all poop was removed, I pushed the bulge back in, which was a bit bloody from all the man-handling, and prayed that she would be fine. I couldn't properly tend to her that day as I had a shitload of errands to run. I'm happy to announce that her butt is fine and that she started laying eggs again the day after her injury.
OROAR Update
That electric fencing is really doing its job keeping out all the undesirables. In fact, most of the garden is recovering nicely with some peas and favas returning from the dead. The Zimbabwe bucket method was not as promising as I had hoped. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I used a toilet paper roll core smothered in peanut butter instead of a corncob (where the hell would I find a dried corncob at this time of the year I'd like to know) and placed it on a wooden skewer instead of a metal one, which enabled the critters to knock the stick into the bucket, thus ruining the trap. Well the electric fence is working. It's actually working so well that when I tried to put in some transplants, I kept getting a jolt every time I touched the wires. It's only on at night, but I guess the system will continue to discharge during the day. I'll post some garden pics once things get a bit taller.
According to the breeder, Lucy has been successfully bred! And as I suspected, she got her love on the day after we dropped her off. I admire her efficiency with the whole endeavor. Since she hasn't shown any signs of estrus in the past four weeks, it's probably safe to pick her up. We plan to head up there the weekend of May 1st, which is of great relief to the CW as her teacher has informed me that she has been crying at school because she misses her goats so much. We all miss them. Even the DF has remarked that things just aren't the same without all the "maaaaaah"s echoing throughout the backyard.
Well that pretty much wraps up things for now. Look for future posts on low budget drip irrigation, self-watering containers, and my family's farming background. It's good to be back.

New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie can't believe the Darrelle Revis rumors. Cromartie doesn't want to believe them.
"We can't lose a guy like him," Cromartie told NFL.com's Andy Fenelon at the Pro Bowl on Friday. "(Revis is) a great leader in the locker room and also in our DB room, making sure that guys are accountable for each other. To lose a guy like that would be huge. And even though he's coming off the surgery, I believe he'll come back as strong as ever."
Cromartie is in Hawaii this week in large part because Revis' injury allowed him to track No. 1 wide receivers all around the field. The team's secondary held up fairly well without Revis, which could be partly influencing owner Woody Johnson's desire to make a move.
Revis tweeted that he was speechless about the trade rumors, but that came before speaking with new general manager John Idzik. ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio spoke with Idzik on Friday.
"I reached out to Darrelle and I made sure he knew exactly where we were coming from and that this is my first day on the job,and our message to everyone was, 'Give us a chance to get to know each other and introduce ourselves to each other,'" Idzik said. "So give us that chance and give us the chance to go through our current roster, ultimately that's the basis of comparison to whatever you may contemplate doing. We haven't taken that first step and that's what I relayed to Darrelle."
That's a long way of saying a potential trade is far from off the table. It would be a complicated deal, but there should be no shortage of suitors for Revis.

!!! Protecting Your Privacy
There are many different measures people use to protect their privacy on the Internet including [blocking cookies and images | #cookies], [making sure passwords are not remembered| #passwords], [disabling flash, java, and javascript| #java], and [clearing all traces of any websites they've been to | #clearall].%%%
!!Blocking Cookies, Images, and Popups.#[cookies]
1. Navigate to '''Edit''' > '''Preferences''' > '''Privacy'''. You'll see several options. Blocking cookies will protect your privacy in many ways, as these are the main ways of keeping up with all of your information on the Internet. Refer to the third [definition of a cookie | http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=cookie] for more information. There are cookies that track the websites you visit, so I recommend either keeping track of your cookies if you have that much time on your hands or disabling them if you are concerned about your privacy.%%%
2. Blocking images usually does nothing but make browsing difficult. There are cases, however, when blocking certain images would help rid you of some privacy concerns. A lot of spammers use images with links to see if you have actually opened the e-mail. If you did, they will most likely continue to send you spam. If not.. well… you know. Blocking images also means that most of the banner ads you see will be gone. I'd recommend setting it to "accept site images", but this decision is best left up to you.%%%
3. Popups are often the cause of these tracking cookies. They can load lots of nasties that you don't want on your computer. I'd recommend blocking them as this will enhance your privacy and your overall browsing experience.%%%
!! Disabling Password Memorization#[passwords]
4. If you share K-Meleon with someone else and have not set it up to use different profiles, you may not want K-Meleon to remember passwords for you. You can disable this very easily by going to '''Edit''' > '''Preferences''' > '''General''' and unchecking '''Remember passwords'''.%%%
!! Disabling Flash, Java, and !JavaScript
5. To disable flash, you can [install flashblock | FlashBlock].%%%
!! Clearing All Traces of Everything in K-Meleon#[clearall]
7. K-Meleon 0.9 comes with a Privacy plug-in. This plug-in can clear the Cookies, Disk Cache, History, Address Bar History, and Saved Passwords on startup and/or shutdown of K-Meleon. Navigate to '''Tools''' > '''Privacy''' > '''Settings''' and check everything you'd like to be cleared and when you'd like it to be cleared. %%%
8. You can also do this manually by going to '''Tools''' > '''Privacy''' and selecting '''Clear''' ![what you would like to be cleared]. %%%

I am planning to visit South Africa next Thursday, that is after 3 days. I have prepared everything except for the visa, I simply forgot and I thought I do not need one because my last visit there was as part of crew and I did not need a visa then. I will be going to the embassy first thing tomorrow morning and I hope they won't ask for some documents I am not prepared for. I already have passport size photos and job certificate and bank statement. Any idea if there are extra documents required? I do not have much time to go to the embassy and then go back to get missing documents so any hints will be appreciated.
BTW, I did not find anything in the web about this.

More than 140,000 high-skilled jobs are unfilled within the state of Illinois because workers lack the necessary skills.
With declining numbers of high school students and increasing numbers of low-income young people who are the first in their families to pursue a college education, our colleges and universities have great challenges to make sure their students succeed.
The need is clear. We must create a pipeline of educated and skilled citizens to fill these jobs, and Illinois colleges should be ready to provide them.
We may not have to turn far for the answer to our challenges. In Illinois, individual college campuses have continued to innovate and implement new approaches to solving cost and completion problems in higher education.
Recognizing the success of such individual initiatives, Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon visited all 48 community colleges and 12 public university campuses in the state to examine best practices in college completion efforts with a focus on affordability.
She summarized her observations in the College Completion Playbook and recently hosted a two-day conference in Bloomington, called Scaling Up: Effective Practices in Higher Education. The conference and playbook exposed Illinois� community colleges and universities to promising practices that can be implemented to increase student success at their own institutions.
Collaboration is critical to our success. Removing barriers and providing support systems for students requires an advanced level of cooperation and communication by all educators.
For example, a partnership between Northern Illinois University and Waubonsee Community College has resulted in a piloted reverse transfer credit program, which promotes associate degree completion for Waubonsee students and provides a seamless transfer credit process for students between the two institutions. All in all, the program is a �win win,� with no cost to the students and minimal costs to the institutions to increase degree completions.
Illinois needs more student-focused and responsive programs like the City Colleges of Chicago�s tutoring and mentorship summer program. The Level Up program is designed to prepare first-year students for college-level work in math and English and reduce the need for remedial courses.
We need more innovations, such as the measures taken by Southern Illinois University to reduce �credit creep,� the unnecessary credits students take on their road to attaining a degree.
Jamie Merisotis, president of the Lumina Foundation, had it right when he said at the conference that �We in education enjoy convenings, but it�s in the commitment to innovate and the focus on student-centered implementation � that�s where real change can occur.�
Now the real work begins.
Each institution was asked to leave the meeting with a plan to �scale up� the initiatives that best address their needs � taking these good practices to more campuses and more Illinois students. Real success means moving beyond the show and tell, beyond the discussion that the lieutenant governor has inspired, and turning meaningful conversation into meaningful action focused on the success of our college students.
There is no blanket solution to increasing the number of Illinoisans who obtain and benefit from a college degree, but Illinois institutions of higher education are proving that they are ready for the challenge by examining best practices and collaborating with their fellow institutions right in their own backyards.
Illinois� future depends upon a well-educated and skilled workforce, and Illinois higher education institutions are working together to get us there.
Harry Berman is executive director of the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

A few weeks back, SOAPnet premiered its new original series, Being Erica, which follows the life of 32-year-old Erica Strange, who is given the chance to revisit various events from her past that caused regret so she can attempt to fix them. The show has been met with rave reviews, and its talented star, Erin Karpluk, deserves most of the credit.
Erin explains what drew her to the character of Erica: "I loved the character, because she is just an average gal, but she's so flawed and awkward. And yet she is resilient in overcoming all of the adversity that has been thrown at her in life. She is very candid and funny. It is the opportunity of a lifetime to get a chance to go back in time with the foresight, the life experiences and past mistakes, and trying to overcome them. The stakes are always really high in playing this character, and it's a lot of fun."
Being Erica has the honesty and humor of My So-Called Life and the time-travel/fantasy aspect of Quantum Leap. And, like the latter, Erica realizes that "when she does go back in time, she has a very big responsibility, and she knows that what she does in the past really affects those around her. The things that she learns isn't 'paint-by-numbers,' it's messy, just like life."
And, just like life, Erica has her flaws. "The appeal of the show and the character is that everyone has regrets, and we all make mistakes in life," Erin says. "We all fall down in our career and life, and we pick ourselves up and push on. I can really identify with her. She's a relatable gal."
Unlike many nighttime dramas, Being Erica appeals to men and women alike. Erin explains: "It's a comedy/drama, and some of the themes are very awkward, like losing your virginity. We cover all the different spheres in life, like spirituality, friendships, romantic relationships, career, family — everyone can relate to that because those are our different spheres in life."
Another aspect that many of us can relate to is the throwback to the late-'80s/ early '90s fashions during the time-travel sequences. Erin and her cast mates had a lot of fun relieving the fashion, and fashion blunders, of the time.
"The cast of (the original) 90210, that was our go-to template for fashion during the flashbacks — Shannen Doherty with the bangs and the really white foundation and the thick eyebrows. We had so much fun with the Doc Martens and all the wardrobe. But the hyper-color shirts and the Mom jeans, I could do without those.
"And the music is the best. Music is one of those things for sense memory that can flip you right back to that grade 9 dance when you are slow-dancing to Guns N' Roses 'November Rain.' It takes you right back to that time and place."
Even if you might have missed the first few episodes, you should still tune in and catch yourself up. Erin says: "Every episode takes on an entirely different feel. As I watch them now, I am finding that they are all like mini movies. But they're not all tied up with a cute little bow at the end of every episode, with Erica learning her lesson for the week. Sometimes when she goes back to fix the regret, she realizes that it wasn't really a regret at all. It was just a hard lesson to learn."
Being Erica airs on SOAPnet Thursday nights at 10 ET/PT.

Jolt Awards: The Best Testing Tools, May 21, 2013 The best testing tools of the past year
Productivity Award: AppInternals Xpert
Two seconds, just two seconds. It doesn't sound like much except to a company trying to serve Web pages to impatient customers. So what do you do if you aren't currently able to meet that high standard in your multitiered Web application?
AppInternals can come to the rescue. Its sole focus is helping you meet your performance requirements. It does this by putting minimal resource agents on every aspect of a multitiered system, whether portal servers or backend database. These agents collect detailed user, transaction, and internal performance metrics of classes, methods, and SQL statements including cross-server transaction analysis.
It then presents to stakeholders specific dashboards that give a quick surface summary of time-consuming trouble spots across one or many applications, along with hyperlinked drill-down data in separate presentations. I especially like the easy ability to navigate down to the lowest class, method, or SQL statement level and see its performance profile and activity numbers. Real-time transaction maps make it possible to identify the one or more things causing excessive delays, even if the transaction hops between servers. That discovery is tagged with a bookmark, a URL, which is mailable to other developers for additional analysis.
AppInternals' optimized database collects all the information from the agents. Thus, you can ask real-time Google-style questions like "Which test user accessed the homepage using the troublesome transaction identified in the drill down?" or "Which transactions use the troublesome SQL statement?" Predictably, other details, such as exceptions, can also be searched for. Whatever is happening inside your system, it's probable AppInternalsXpert will find it and reveal it to you in a display that contains a wealth of supporting data.

The Stanley Cocktail/
This is gonna be one of those babbling brook o'consciousness posts I write from time to time, lending special credence to the word "babbling."
Sean and I made this cocktail a couple weeks ago -- before my Moms swooped into town for a week-long six-day (she'll correct me in an e-mail if I don't do it now) stay. Why don't I cocktail *more* when hosting family? God knows I need it badly-er during such times. Oh, right. I'm up the spout. Good thing that I don't forget that too often.
Anyway, my home office is also our guest room, so when we've got folks staying here I basically don't write, don't work, don't check e-mails, and generally grow more and more discomboobulated and unmoored from real life. Which is probably why I sound the way I sound right now. Me no typie so good when brain cloudy with word farts what is thesaurus?
So, the Stanley! Why did we make the Stanley? We made the Stanley because we had lemon juice about to turn in our fridge and because after many sadistic false starts, Mother Nature has finally gotten her big, compostable ass into gear up here and delivered a proper Montreal spring. (I am the last person who should be making fun of other women's fat asses at this point in my life/pregnancy, but she is not a real person so she can suck it.) The Stanley, rather audaciously, combines gin and rum, two liquors that a) you rarely see mixed, yet b) speak to the same joyous thermometer creep that ought to be celebrated with a proper cocktail, preferably including them. Grenadine and lemon juice take away from that audacity, make it more like the Banality of Cherry Coke than the Audacity of Hope (the Audacity of Hooch?) but we decided to give the Stanley a go all the same.
We got the Stanley from our trusty-dusty Old Mr. Boston Official Bartenders Guide. Sometimes this book -- as much as I insist upon treating it with reverence, for it is really old and its starchy pages smell wonderfully like pickled dust -- is like a big clusterwuh? Like when it gives you a girly-ass drink called the Stanley. Who invented this shit, or at least named it that? It is very pretty, though. In fact, I bet if I just keep looking at those pics above my head fog will lift before long...
Every time I say "the Stanley" in my head, I picture two things in quick succession. One, Mrs. Roper. Two, Pretzel Day.
I like Pretzel Day...
The Stanley Cocktail
(as per the Old Mr. Boston Official Bartenders Guide)
1 ounce Bombay Dry Gin
1 ounce Bacardi
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 ounce grenadine
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into chilled cocktail or coupe glass.

3 seniors anchor to lead big junior class
Staff writer
The Peabody-Burns Warriors 2013-14 boys' basketball team has two returning starters but has six players with varsity experience. The team opens at home on Friday against Chase County.
Seniors Garret Schroeder, Xavier Jabary, and Enrique Palazon will be the team's senior leadership core.
Schroeder is a returning starter that scored 71 points and shot 63 percent from the free throw line last season. He also had 11 steals and 17 assists.
Jabary returns to the floor with a big presence underneath but has deceptive speed. He scored 35 points last season.
Palazon is a foreign exchange student at PBHS. During football season, he handled much of the kickoff duty.
Braxton Kyle is a returning starter and leads a talented group of junior athletes. Kyle scored 148 points last season and was nearly 50 percent from the field and the line. He had 103 rebounds and 59 steals.
Nicholas Preheim, Vince Newman, Kaden Gibson, Kevin Baatrup, and Deondre Edmonson join the varsity level, bringing a lot of talent. They will add to the depth and challenge for starting positions.
"The returning varsity athletes gained invaluable experience last season due to injuries of starters. They know the system and have knowledge of the tempo of the game" said coach Brian Simmonds, now in his sixth year as head coach of the PBHS Warriors.
Simmonds is assisted by Caleb Good.

There are a multitude of music biographies out there, and it can be a daunting task for any music lover to be asked to pick just three of the best rock and roll biographies. It also doesn't help that there are new ones being churned out every year, including multiple editions of posthumous accounts of the music scene as far as five to six decades ago.
Nevertheless, we take the challenge head on and put forth our top three picks for best rock and roll biographies:

"Gauguin: Metamorphoses"
Time Out says
Paul Gauguin is famous for being the stockbroker who abandoned his middle-class life and family, running off and transforming his avocation as a Sunday painter into a full-blown mission (and changing the course of art history in the process). As important as painting obviously was to Gauguin, however, this exhibit argues that his efforts in printmaking and drawing were just as significant. The show collects some 130 examples of the artist's graphic works (along with a much smaller sampling of canvases and sculptural objects), with the aim of understanding this lesser-known aspect of his oeuvre.

We've hit the 28 week marker. Time has moved so slowly I thought that I'd never get here. And now it's third trimester time. Did I hit the uncomfortable stage of things this soon last time? I don't remember. I'm already having trouble breathing and eating – where'd all the space go? At my last appointment, I was measuring a week ahead already. That prompted my doctor to go ahead and schedule a c-section.
Unfortunately, Thanksgiving gets in the way. And that means dates are limited, especially since I don't want to go in on my other son's birthday. I refuse to have two birthdays on the same day if I can avoid it.
So the doctor scheduled it the day after. Sigh. I don't care about being in the hospital on Thanksgiving. I really don't. But I am frustrated that I'm limited to two days just before then AND the doc chooses the 23rd. Why couldn't he schedule it on the 24th and at least give us a day in between?
And don't get me started on feeling like my choices have been taken away. My original due date was 11/29. But based on conception date, I know that's early by at least 3 days. I didn't get a chance to give him those details (and would he listen anyway?). Because of my gestational diabetes, he doesn't want me to go to my due date. In fact, he apparently doesn't want me to get too close to that since it's possible my son will be big.
Let's face it. i have a big family. I don't think it has a lot to do with diabetes. We're just big people. My other son was 9 lbs. 10 oz. My uncle was either 10 or 11 lbs. when he was born. Another uncle, other side of the family, was somewhere in the 6′ 6″ range as an adult. My hubby is 6′ 2″ See? Big people.
If I'm "lucky" I'll go into labor on my own. But since the c-section is a week early and my last son was late, that's not looking likely.
I was really angry and upset when I first got the news. Now I just feel resigned to it. The ultimate goal is a healthy baby and mommy, no matter how we get there. I just really hate feeling that my choices are limited. I was really hoping this pregnancy would be different. Instead we're hearing the same tune just three years later.
And that's part of why I've been avoiding much personal blogging. It all turns into angry rants or whining. And who really cares? It could be much worse. At least I'm not in the hospital on bed rest, unable to work or take care of my son.
One thing I'm dreading is caring for my older son while trying to recover from a c-section. Did I mention that he weighs 44 lbs.? Yeah, there will be no lifting him out of the crib in the mornings. Which is one reason why my husband is pushing to get him a toddler bed – one that he can crawl in & out of. (That still won't help with diaper changes, though, which we do on our waist-high bed.)
I'm a mess. Have been the entire pregnancy. Worried about money. About how I'll care for two kids at home by myself. How my older son will react to mommy's attention going to the wee babe. How I'll miss this wonderful time with my older son. We are such good buddies. Man, I love that little guy. But I don't want to write a bunch of anxiety down, lest my younger son someday think he wasn't wanted. He really is. So much so. But I haven't done anything to prepare for his arrival — which is now ELEVEN weeks away thanks to the surgery — nor have I taken more than 2 weekly belly pics. Last time? Took a ton. This time? Not many. I wonder how I'll give both of them adequate attention when I don't even feel like I give ONE child enough attention (thanks to having to work so many dang hours – another story in itself).
See? Even I don't want to listen to me anymore. Hence posts about anything or everything except my pregnancy. Or nothing at all.
I suppose I could write about how much I loathe both of my downstairs neighbors right now, BOTH of whom are doing remodeling. I hate it with a burning passion of a thousand fiery suns. Wouldn't you think it would be, I don't know, courteous to let your neighbors know that you'll be starting some noisy remodeling? Especially those that you KNOW have small children? Yeah, none of that. I hate this place. Hence my looking for a 2 BR closer to hubby's work. But those are way out of our price range. Actually, EVERYTHING is out of our price range. And I feel trapped. Another source of anxiety.
I really hope all of my stress doesn't affect the wee babe, too much. But it probably has considering that it affects my eating and blood sugar numbers. See? Mommy fail AGAIN. I just want this to be over with so we can go visit my family and decompress for a month or so. Really hoping that helps. I need a break. I need to stop worrying about money, living quarters, my car that's going to need a lot of work soon, working too hard for too little… I need something. I just wish I knew what it was.

Honolulu Academy of Arts
The Honolulu Academy of Arts was founded in 1922 and opened to the public on April 8, 1927. It was the vision of Anna Rice Cooke, a woman born into a prominent missionary family on O'ahu in 1853. Growing up in a home that appreciated the arts, she went on to marry Charles Montague Cooke, also of a prominent missionary family, and the two settled in Honolulu. In 1882, they built a home on Beretania Street, on the site that would become home to the museum.
As Charles Cooke prospered, he and his wife began to assemble an art collection, starting with "parlor pieces" from the shop of furniture maker Yeun Kwock Fong Inn who had ceramics and textile pieces sent from his brother in China. Fong Inn eventually became one of Honolulu's leading art importers.
When the Cookes' art collection outgrew their home, Anna Rice Cooke decided to create Hawai'i's first visual arts museum, which would reflect the islands' multicultural make-up, for the children of Hawai'i. In 1920, she and her daughter Alice (Mrs. Phillip Spalding), her daughter-in-law Dagmar (Mrs. Richard Cooke), and Mrs. Isaac Cox, an art and drama teacher, began to catalogue and research the collection as a first step.
With little formal training, these women obtained a charter for the museum from the Territory of Hawai'i in 1922. The Cookes donated their Beretania Street land for the museum, along with an endowment of $25,000, and the family home was torn down to make way for the new institution. They hired New York architect Bertram Goodhue to design the plans. Goodhue died before the project was completed, and his colleague Hardie Phillip finished the job. Over the years, the museum's revival mission style has been imitated in many buildings throughout the state.
"That our children of many nationalities and races, born far from the centers of art, may receive an intimation of their own cultural legacy and wake to the ideals embodied in the arts of their neighbors....that Hawaiians, Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos, Northern Europeans and all other people living here, contacting through the channel of art those deep intuitions common to all, may perceive a foundation on which a new culture, enriched by the old strains may be built in the islands."
—Anna Rice Cooke's dedication statement, which she read at the opening of the Honolulu Academy of Arts on April 8, 1927
Since it opened, the museum has grown steadily, both in acquisitions and in stature, to become one of the finest museums in the United States. Additions to the original building include a library (1956), an education wing (1960), a gift shop (1965), a cafe (1969), a contemporary gallery, administrative offices and 280-seat theater (1977), and an art center for studio classes and expanded educational programming (1989).
The museum's permanent collection has grown from 500 works to more than 50,000 pieces spanning 5,000 years, with significant holdings in Asian art, American and European painting and decorative arts, 19th- and 20th-century art, an extensive collection of works on paper, Asian textiles, and traditional works from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas.
From Anna Rice Cooke's vision has grown one of the most beautiful and extraordinary museums in the world with state-of-the-art facilities for displaying its internationally renowned art collection. It is the state's leading arts institution and the city's center for visual and performing arts. The Academy's mission continues to reflect Mrs. Cooke's vision by being dedicated to the collection, preservation, interpretation, and teaching of the visual arts, and the presentation of exhibitions, performing arts, and public programs specifically relevant to Hawai'i's ethnically diverse community.
The Contemporary Museum
In 1961, Thurston Twigg-Smith opened an art gallery—the Contemporary Art Center—within the Honolulu Advertiser building, which he owned. The gallery featured work from Twigg-Smith's collection and work by local artists. In 1988, the Twigg-Smith family donated Spalding House, which was built by Honolulu Academy of Arts founder Anna Rice Cooke, to create The Contemporary Museum, a private, nonprofit museum for contemporary art in Honolulu.
Honolulu Museum of Art
In 2011, The Contemporary Museum gifted its assets and collection to the Honolulu Academy of Arts and in 2012, the combined museum changed its name to the Honolulu Museum of Art.

All Good People,
Hey guys I just moved and have unearthered my YES vid collection that has been gathering dust for the last couple of years. Since I posted to the Into the Lens forum I've had a few requests for copies of my Yes Live at 1987 Philadelphia Spectrum video. Unfortunately I have no way to make copies of this for people. I am willing to send my original copy(please send it back) to someone if they want to start a weed for the video or just get it out into the trading community. I have other Yes shows on video too. I'm not sure what most people have in regards to videos etc. Off the top of my head I know I have Silent wings promo video,America video, Steve and Bill on Regis, that French TV special that features videos for Astral Traveller,No Oppportunity etc, Rick on the 700 Club, Yes live in Largo 1984, Rockaplast 84 (I think I have this one maybe it is Rock in Rio) Live in Pensacola 91,live in Denver 91,live in Nassau 91,Yes MTV Rockumentary 91 and more I can't even remember. Anyway I would like to share these with the group if someone is willing to make copies. I would like to start off with just sending the 87 Philly vid. Also I would like to send these to someone in the US due to shipping times and costs. I would like to share these with the group at large and I know we have a few newbies who have never seen this stuff. Is there anyone who is willing to do this? Thanks in advance guys....chris
<hr>I look like cable TV ... Ralph Wiggum

by Glenn Mollette
You probably think this doesn't apply to you. Wrong. Even if you never enter an airport your hard earned dollars are paying big salaries and big benefits to thousands of federal TSA workers – right now.
How many times a year do you fly on an airplane? Millions of Americans have never flown on a commercial plane and millions more have only flown a couple of times. Statistics of who have and have not flown vary. Fifty million people in the United States are living in poverty and on Food Stamps. Are these people jet setting around the country? Another one hundred million people in the United States are still earning about $40,000 or less each year. Do you think these individuals have lots of plane cash stashed aside? They do not. Consider the millions who seldom take a vacation and prefer to drive when they do and you start seeing a smaller number of frequent air travelers. How many people fly each year in the United States?
Air travel: About 42 percent of U.S. adults reported traveling by air for leisure trips taken between August 2008 and July 2009. The percentage of air travelers increases to 48 percent among U.S. adults who traveled for business purposes in the past year. (Source: travelhorizonsTM, July 2009)
Air travel hassles: A June 2008 study by the U.S. Travel Association revealed a deep frustration among air travelers that caused them to avoid an estimated 41 million trips over the past 12 months at a cost of more than $26 billion to the U.S. economy. Air travelers expressed little optimism for positive change, with nearly 50 percent saying that the air travel system is not likely to improve in the near future. The effect of avoided trips cost airlines more than $9 billion in revenue; hotels nearly $6 billion and restaurants more than $3 billion. Federal, state and local governments lost more than $4 billion in tax revenue because of reduced spending by travelers. (Source: Air Travel Survey, 2008) Check USTravel.org for more statistics.
So let's say one hundred sixty-five million Americans are flying occasionally while the other one hundred sixty-five million are driving or taking other transportation. Why should half of the country who never fly be paying for something they never use? Plus, the payment is big.
The TSA federal budget is over 7.6 billion dollars. This is in comparison to a 3.2 billion dollar green energy budget. The average paycheck for the 3900 employees at the Washington, D.C. office is $103,852 while one executive made over five million dollars for nine months of work. Employees have grown from 16,500 to over 65,000 employees. Like most government entities it continues to grow and devour more of your paycheck.
Airlines utilizing private contractors should provide and pay the bill for those who watch the scanners and check the bags. The people flying should pay the costs. Airplane tickets are high enough. I fly occasionally. I really don't want to pay more. However, it's not fair for those who never fly to bear the cost.
Government involvement means more burdens for more taxes on average America that is already stressed to the max on paying taxes.
Further, the TSA is going too far in harassing people at the airports of America. Elderly people, little children and women are being violated and harassed every day in our country. What seemed like a good idea after 911 has become extreme. I understand why the TSA came into existence but like the Patriot Act it needs some edits and compromises. Persons now have to practically undress and are subjected to some stranger patting them down. This is a violation of our civil liberties.
I am not opposed to scanners that detect metal objects,people emptying their pockets and bag checks. However, subjecting people to pat downs and invasive x-rays have to be eliminated.
Every pilot or copilot should be allowed to carry a gun. We now have cabin doors that protect the cockpit crew from an intruder. These cabin doors are vital to our flight security and cost thousands of dollars. Every plane should have a U.S. Marshall or designated plain clothed security guard on board.
I agree that every airport should have the presence of the proper authorities necessary to take someone to jail if necessary. Anyone posing a threat should be detained and escorted to jail.
I am a believer in transportation security but we must overhaul the role of the Transportation Security Administration and who pays for it.

Romney begins making closing argument to voters
By KASIE HUNT
Associated Press
BEDFORD, N.H. (AP) — Sharpening his message ahead of voting in Iowa and New Hampshire, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Tuesday accused President Barack Obama of deepening the economic crisis and backing policies that will redistribute wealth instead of creating equal opportunity for people to do well.
Romney's allies, meanwhile, continued to aggressively criticize Newt Gingrich, his chief rival for the nomination. In Iowa, Gingrich lashed out and accused Romney of a "negative smear campaign."
Romney, a former businessman, told voters in an evening speech that his policies would turn the U.S. into an "opportunity society" while Obama's vision for an "entitlement society" would make more people dependent on government welfare.
"We will not surrender our dreams to the failures of this president. We are bigger than the misguided policies and weak leadership of one man. America is bigger than President Obama's failures," Romney said. "This America of long unemployment lines and small dreams is not the America you and I love. ... These troubled years are President Obama's legacy, but they are not our future."
Romney said that Obama "believes that government should create equal outcomes. In an entitlement society, everyone receives the same or similar rewards, regardless of education, effort and willingness to take risk."
Romney's message contrasts with the argument the Democratic president has begun to articulate for his re-election, in which he calls for a society that offers "fair play, a fair shot and a fair share." Obama argues that Republicans put the interests of the wealthy above the middle class.
"Giving more handouts to millionaires, billionaires and large corporations and making the middle class foot the bill are the same flawed policies that led to the economic crisis in the first place," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina told New Hampshire reporters.
Romney planned to remain focused on his effort in New Hampshire as his allies criticized Gingrich on Iowa's airwaves.
Restore Our Future, a special political action committee, or "super PAC," that backs Romney, launched a caustic ad tying Gingrich to Freddie Mac, the quasi-government mortgage company, and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. The spot also hits Gingrich for ethics violations and criticizes his record on abortion.
Campaigning in Iowa, Gingrich accused Romney of allowing a "negative smear campaign" fueled by a super PAC. He called on Romney to demand that ads run on his behalf by such groups be positive. Gingrich said Romney's comments aimed at distancing himself from the anti-Gingrich PAC ads were misleading and false.
Romney had refused earlier Tuesday to disavow the group's ads, saying it would be illegal for him to coordinate with the super PAC. He did say that such groups are a "disaster" and have made a "mockery" of the presidential campaign.
"Campaign finance law has made a mockery of our political campaign season," Romney said on MSNBC. "We really ought to let campaigns raise the money they need and just get rid of these super PACs."
A 2010 Supreme Court decision paved the way for such groups to accept unlimited amounts of money from donors. The political campaigns are limited to accepting $2,500 per donor.
Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, was using Tuesday's speech to open four straight days of campaigning in New Hampshire, which holds the nation's first primary on Jan. 10. He must win the state if he hopes to become the Republican nominee.
Two weeks remain until voting begins Jan. 3 with the leadoff caucuses in Iowa, though Romney will campaign in New Hampshire through Christmas, a sign of the state's importance to his political strategy.

Cafe & Restaurant Logo Templates
We have a collection of 18 designs in this area!
If you need a tasty layout to feature the delicious cuisine at your own, or your favorite restaurants, cafes, bars, lounges, taverns, delis or other eateries, then look no further. These delectable Cafe and Restaurant logo templates use yummy color combinations to complement the wonderful food you're offering in a way that will make mouths water. Deserts, main courses and entrees, breakfast, lunch, dinner, there are Cafe and Restaurant logo templates to suit your palette.
Our cafe & restaurant logo templates are the very basic of corporate design. They are a single pre-made logo that can be edited with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, or Corel Draw. The main difference between a regular logo and our logo templates is that our logo templates are developed to reflect the main ida of the industry, not the particular company. To make the logo work for your company's theme you will need to customize the template by changing the name and colors, etc. That is why you will have full access to the source files so that you can make the precise changes you need. All cafe & restaurant logo templates under this area are unique which means they have not been purchased by any other customers. If you pay for the unique version they will be removed from the marketplace and will no longer be for sale, otherwise they will be moved to our regular logo template section after you purchase.

Fresh sage from the garden.
Heather's little collection of teapots.
Scotia - what a sweet girl! Her looks and demeanor remind me so much of Macy. Makes me happy-sad.
Ahhh.. Sage tea.
You guys, I am LOVING where I'm at so much right now! We completely hit the jackpot when we found Heather and Paul (via helpx). Every day we are busy working in the garden, cooking, baking and learning all sorts of new things - and every moment is full of stories, laughter and fun. Everything about them and their home feels so familiar and comfortable. I feel so lucky to be here.
Whenever I find a moment to write, I know that I just keep promising more stories and photos, yet I haven't actually followed through with too many of those lately. So, here's one more promise to add to the others. I will be updating soon with much more - really! Until then, I have to catch up on my sleep. We have a busy day at the farmer's market tomorrow!

The Improbability Principle
Why Coincidences, Miracles, and Rare Events Happen Every Day, by David J. Hand
Incredible things happen routinely. People win the lottery — twice. Golfers hit holes-in-one several days in a row. Basketball players appear to get a "hot hand" (SN: 2/12/11, p. 26; SN Online: 10/29/13).
Do these chance events validate superstition or suggest a hidden influence in our world — a higher power, perhaps? Absolutely not, argues Imperial College London statistician David J. Hand. The laws of mathematics and physics suffice to explain a world of coincidences.
Hand weaves his principle from several strands dubbed the

The Southington Fire Department has recently established a new home fire safety survey program that aims to help keep residents safe.
"It's part of our community risk reduction program," said firefighter Eric D'Arcy about the voluntary program. "It's a prevention strategy."
The survey involves having a firefighter come through your home, pointing out any issues that may be present. Possible issues could include cooking, smoking and electrical problems.
If needed, the firefighters may also install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The detectors, along with the rest of the survey program, are paid for through grants and donations.
D'Arcy stressed ensuring that people had working smoke detectors in their homes. This includes one on each level, within hearing range of the occupants.
"The sooner someone knows a fire is going, the better," D'Arcy said.
The Southington Fire Department began the program early last month and have already conducted seven inspections, D'Arcy said.
To request an inspection, which will take about half an hour, contact fire inspector Bob Hunt at 860-621-3202 ext. 140.
Survey aimed at fire safety

Blankets are more than a sense of warmth. They are a form of comfort when you're sick, feeling down, or just need something to curl up with to relax. Think how much warmth and comfort your favorite blanket provides for you when you are cold or lonely. We want to gift that same feeling to veterans in VA Hospitals as well as wounded service members being treated in various facilities. Our annual Blanket Drive has officially begun and will continue through August 31st. Please help us reach our goal of collecting 2,000 blankets for service members and veterans! Learn more about the Soldiers' Angels Blanket Drive here.
Every move, no matter how big or small is stressful. And if moving is stressful for adults, imagine how stressful the event can be for little ones. This is especially true for military families who often have no choice regarding if they move, when they move, or where they move to. Click here for tips that can assist military families in helping their child cope with moving and relocating.
As you may know, we recently ended our Warm Feet For Warriors Campaign. From February through May, we collected all kinds of socks to give out to our service members and veterans and we were completely overwhelmed by the response to this year's campaign!! In addition to exceeding our goal of collecting 15,000 socks, Tommy John, an underwear and apparel company, decided to MATCH our 15,000 pair goal!! We don't have a final count yet... our warehouse team is busy counting all of the socks that came in over the last week and more donations are arriving daily. We'll be sure to let you know the final count after June 15. Learn more about the collection and Tommy John's incredible match.
Reassignment can be hard on the family. We leave behind friends, schools, and the lives we had begun to create for ourselves. However, there are ways we can ease the transition, and make the move itself as smooth as possible with a bit of planning. Do you have an upcoming reassignment? Check out some of these great moving tips from guest blogger, Amanda Henderson.
You know those really thick braided bracelets you see a lot of military, hikers, survivalists, and first responders wearing? As cool as they look, they are not a fashion statement. They're called paracord bracelets and are a very necessary survival item. Paracord bracelets actually started as a way for service members and first responders to carry extra cord in a lightweight, compact manner-- and the service members we support love to receive these useful bracelets in care packages! Learn more about how you and your team can make paracord bracelets and get them to our service members.
In honor of Military Appreciation Month, Cricket Wireless is teaming up with Soldiers' Angels to honor our military veterans! Not only will Cricket Wireless be sponsoring all six Soldiers' Angels Veteran Mobile Food Distributions across the country they will also be collecting donations of non-perishable food items in over 350 stores in 6 cities! The collected items will be packaged in Soldiers' Angels Box Lunches for homeless and at-risk veterans.
Collection Drive begins Monday, May 13th, 2019!
We couldn't be more thrilled to be partnering with Cricket Wireless to honor our veterans! Can you help us make this collection drive a success? Click here to learn what items we are collecting as well as the participating stores where you can drop off your items.
Our Veteran Support Program has grown quickly over the last few years and that growth shows no sign of slowing down! Soldiers' Angels currently works in over 30 VA Hospitals across the country, providing volunteer support, doing patient visits, giving out supplies like box lunches and hygiene kits, and organizing luncheons and other group activities. At each VA site, the team on the ground is completely volunteer-based!! We receive a lot of questions regarding starting a Veteran Support team in a city where we currently are not located-- so we put down some tips to getting started! Click here to learn how you can start a Soldiers' Angels Veteran Support Team near you.
Our nation's service members put their lives on the line for all of us, and one of the ways we thank them is by flying service banners in their honor. Each banner has a specific meaning and is flown at a specific time. This quick guide will tell you when to fly which military service banner and for what occasions.
One of our oldest and most popular virtual teams is our Letter Writing Team. Each year our Letter Writing Angels send hundreds of thousands of letters to deployed service members around the world. Many of our Angels connect with the service members they support and form a fruitful penpal relationship throughout the service members deployment and beyond. But it is also quite common for our Angels to experience what they have termed as "Silent Service Members," or service members that don't respond to letters. Although it can be discouraging not to receive a response, we encourage our Angels to continue to write. Here's why service members may not have the chance to write back.
We're proud to partner with Caliber Collision for the 3rd Annual Dallas Cowboys Military Combine on April 13th. It's a FREE day of family fun on the field at ATT Stadium in Arlington, with bounce houses, games, concessions and more. Watch 50 elite military heroes take to the turf and compete in six official NFL Combine drills. Dallas Cowboys Alumni and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders will be available for pictures and autographs. Learn more at calibercollision.com/militarycombine
We're so excited to announce that the Soldiers' Angels Atlanta Volunteer Coordinator Travies Mims has been chosen as a JABY Inc. 2019 Veteran's International Trailblazer Award recipient! The International Trailblazer Awards are all about "honoring regular people doing outstanding things in the community" - which is exactly what Travies is all about. Learn more about this incredible Soldiers' Angels Angel volunteer.
One of the most remarkable things about George H.W. Bush's experiences is not his dedication to public service, nor the historical mark he left on America as our 41st president. It's the fact that his life story has so much in common with the veterans and service members of today: what led him to a life of service, the challenges he faced both after serving in the war and as he aged, and the solutions that he found - that can also work for the larger veteran community. Learn more about President George H.W. Bush's life, legacy, and service to our country.

Today's Supernatural.
edited July 2012 in Animal Tracks
great. a tad too clean, i wish it was more mesy, darn you ben allen! ive never heard avey's voice like this
Yesssss!!!! Knew it Didnt see this til after i posted the link in the radio show thread
the mixing seems strange
It feels like Strawberry Jam funnelled through the energy of their older material but with the polish (aalllllmost to a fault) of Merriweather. His voice sounds dope and Panda's drumming kills it.
Bionic hee-haw!
i was like whuhhhhh first listen. on third listen and ive decided i love it
i didnt really care for honeycomb or gotham on the first like 5 listens, now im in love with them, i wonder how much ill love this song when ive heard it more and its within the album
I feel lame, but I think I'm going to wait for the whole album.
I only listened thrice. And now I am done until the album comes out.
I started to listen and then stopped. But that's because I'll feel like I need to skip it the first time I listen to the album so the other songs catch up. And also because my computer speakers aren't as good as the one's I'd like to debut the new stuff on.
I don't know exactly why, but I really like it. It has tons of replay value. A bit much more than I was expecting, so I'm not disappointed at all.
Listened 3 times and it just gets better and better. I'd love to just not listen to it until i get to hear the whole album, but i know thats not happening. Dammit its just tooooo good
Its pretty good, and I do agree that the mixing is pretty weird. I still really enjoy this new somg though, that much more excited for the full album now!
Erratic Seesaw Bionic Heehaw I love those lyrics!!!
Wow, I totally forgot about the radio broadcast (damn friends pulling me away from AC). This was one of my favorite songs live so let's see what I think of the recorded version. My Reaction: Oh God? I liked it on my first listen, the mixing is a little confusing at first, but this record is going to have so much replay value because of the chaos inside of it. Also, I feel as if that song will be better if it was not out of context of the album. Overall, now on my 4th listen, I think it's marvelous in almost everyway. The vocals, the drumming, the soundscape, the ending, and the effects, all of them were AnCo and all of them were amazing. They didn't disapoint me. Now give me some Monkey Riches next week!
I still haven't listened to it and I am pondering whether I should or not.
narnia, dont listen to it. it'll be so worth it
narnia i admire your will power
I wish I had seen your comments! I just listened to it. It did not sound at all like I had expected it to. I understand what people are saying about the weird sound mixing... I am not sure if I like it or not. It did not have the same type of energy I expected from hearing the live performances. I plan not to listen again until the album's release.
I hope Monkey Riches isn't next week. I want it to be a surprise... if they release it I won't be able to help myself
WAIT WAIT WAIT.... They are releasing a new song each week?!?!
Live version had a little more screaming. This album is going to be so fun!
I would have preferred there been more screaming but it stills sounds really good.
That's what I missed on first listen also. The track still has amazing energy. This version will become my favorite soon.
Second listen, I'm dancing.
Bionic Heehaw has to be the greatest lyric of all time
Who HASN'T listened to it yet? Me, Oaken, GO...
mitch, nothing is confirmed
Still haven't...and won't. Though I hope my power to resist means my preorder will arrive early! Even Monday the 3rd would be great!
I was so tempted yesterday. I had to listen to Honeycomb and Gotham multiple times.
Ah yes. Nice sublimation. I went the Person Pitch route.
listened for the fourth and hopefully last time until the album arrives at my doorstep. i officially love everything about this song, its so awesome. man i love AC so much. this is the coolest way they couldve released their first single too. i cant wait until next sunday
I swear Honeycomb/Gotham sound so much better to me after listening to Today's Supernatural
in what way, sufy?
I think it has to do with the hype surrounding Today's Supernatural getting split onto Honeycomb/Gotham for me. As soon as I heard it, I felt like I could only listen to new AC and nothing else. If that makes any sense. Which I fudging hope it does.
Only listened to Today's Supernatural once and did not connect with it at all. But perhaps I just feel like that cause the song is being isolated into a single. I bet it'll sound better mixed in with the rest of the album. :O I prefer Panda Bears new releases. Simplistic (in a sense) instrumentals. Thats more up my alley.
It's been said... shark jump. Could it be? Let Go wasn't one of my favorites from the tour so I'm not too worried, but I dunno. It's gonna be really fucking hard to beat their last four albums. Sung Tongs > Feels > SJ > MPP is quite a combo to top. I'm trying to keep my expectations limited.
not to mention each one of those had an outstanding follow-up EP, and i dont think CHz will even have one
I am really hoping for a sweet ep to drop late next spring or something, that would be nice
seems unlikely considering how identical their set lists were on last year's tour.
I have high hopes for CentiHz
You're wise to be optimistic. I have less faith in myself than to feel that way, if you follow what I mean.
I listened to TS two more times to decide on whether I liked it or not. I like it but not as much as I had hoped but it wasn't a favorite from last year perf's. I am more excited for Mercury Man, Wide Eyed and Monkey Riches.
So... How do you guys feel it compares to Merriweather's first single and second track, My Girls?
It's hard to listen to My Girls with fresh ears, as I'm sure it will be for these songs in a few months, but I think I like Today's Supernatural better. More energy. That being said, I feel like some of the Centipede Hz songs are maybe too energetic? I dunno. I love the crazy carnival sound, but I'm looking forward to more of the slower songs on the album.
I want to buy this from iTunes, but AC's comment on their fb about how Domino will send you the song for free if you already preordered is holding me back... Meh, its jut 99 cents!
I didn't even see that message on fb... Dang. Oh well. I can listen to it in the meantime! I just wish there was separate album art for the single.

Question: Would I benefit from a chin implant procedure?
Answer: Of course, it is impossible to dispense medical advice directly on this web site. However, a small chin in general does respond well to a chin implant procedure. An important consideration when dealing with individuals with small chins refers to their dentition (their teeth). Sometimes an individual with malocclusion (bad overbite or other problem with closing their mouth) may be better suited with a relatively bigger, more invasive procedure known as an orthognathic procedure. Discussing your situation with a facial plastic surgeon, orthodontist, dentist, and/or oro-maxillo-facial surgeon may be helpful in figuring out what would be the best procedure for you. If your teeth are not an issue or if orthodontic work is sufficient to make things relatively well aligned, then a chin implant can be a good, easy solution to your problem.

As the economic crisis has deepened over the last several weeks, a number of knowledgeable people have told me that the simplest thing the government could do that would have a significant effect on the availability of credit is to ease the "mark to market" rule. A couple of hours ago, the SEC did just that.
Technically the SEC issued a clarification of the rule, to the effect that banks are not necessarily required to write assets down to the current market level. Rather, "[w]hen an active market for a security does not exist, the use of management estimates that incorporate current market participant expectations of future cash flows, and include appropriate risk premiums, is acceptable."
The mark to market accounting rule has been a significant cause of the drying up of credit. Currently, there is no market for a broad range of financial instruments that are backed by mortgage portfolios. Under the old version of the rule, banks had to value such assets at zero. That's not right; most of them ultimately will have value. But currently, given the uncertainties surrounding the subprime market and some of the instruments themselves, no one wants to buy them.
The effect of such asset write-downs is that the amount of money the bank is allowed to lend is reduced. Thus, the SEC's clarification to the rule should have the effect, in the immediate future, of freeing up a considerable amount of credit.
The real threat to the broader economy comes from the freeze-up of credit markets, not the fact that a few private institutions that gambled heavily on mortgage-backed securities may go broke. If revision of the mark to market rule has as much impact on credit markets as many have predicted, it may strengthen the resolve of those who think there are better solutions to the problems in our financial markets than a $700 billion bailout.

Habeas Corpus is the backbone of our constitutional system. There is no right that is more fundamental to civil rights and civil liberties. We now live in a country where the president can declare anyone an unlawful enemy combatant–even me, even your grandmother–and put that person out of reach of any ability to challenge that. There is no conceivable justification for that. Congress must redress the wrongs it committed in the Military Commissions Act.
