Look what followed me home yesterday.......
Yesterday I stopped by my local gun store and wanted a spare magazine for my Springfield Armory XDs. I started browsing.......and now have a new everyday carry gun. I picked up a Colt New Agent Lightweight Talo edition 1911. Here are a few pics of the new carry rig.
Now that makes five 1911's in the stable. |

A mite more expensive than that spare mag.
I really like your new Colt/holster set-up. Looks to be a very nice ccw rig. What caliber is it? I'll be interested in your follow-up range report.

Good looking New Agent, congratulations!
I've had one for four years and love it although I'll admit long range sessions can be a bit punishing given it's petite size. It's accurate and reliable . Mine prefers Remington Golden Saber 230 gr jhp ammo, FWIW.

Coltman, is yours a carry gun or strictly a range gun. Mine will be the primary carry gun after running some ammo through it.

Very nice...I'm really considering a micro 1911.
Just a little iffy about anything smaller than the 4' barrel.

Constantine... I think you can breathe easy regarding the short barrel. Mine hasn't missed a beat, except for a problem that was taken care of by a Colt recall. That probably sounds like faint praise.... what I'm trying to say is that I've had NO problems due to the short barrel. Kind of wish I had sights (other than trench sights) on mine, but for a carry pistol, the trench sights are fine.
OP - awesome looking pistol! |

Hmm... I thought all New Agent's had the trench cut top sight? Nice to know that they have dovetailed sights now. Maybe only on the Talo.?.?.?

Lisa Trow is a published poet and journalist and has been an instructor of creative writing. In this essay, she discusses the use of free verse in allowing careful word choice to express meaning.
Kooser's poetry is so easy to read and understand that readers might assume that anyone could have written it. But its simplicity is really an aid to the reader in reaching for the poem's deeper meanings. By refraining from using complicated and formal poetic devices that might have driven away the average reader, Kooser has cleared the way for readers, allowing them easier access to the poem. There is no rhyme scheme, no singsong cadence, and no flowery language that many of us associate with the poets we have been assigned to read in literature classes. Kooser's simple poetry, like the work of many contemporary poets, relies on its ability to create an...

Everybody -- the lonely lover, the struggling artist, the dumped, the victorious warrior, the moderately successful but aging indie rocker -- needs an anthem. On The Winter of Mixed Drinks, Frightened Rabbit's third LP, the band stuffs an album full of anthems to introspection, confronting issues of spirituality, success, and aging.
The band has grown to a quintet since the release of The Midnight Organ Fight, and so has the band's sound grown. Although it is not immediately recognizable as a concept album, songs on Mixed Drinks evoke musical and lyrical themes that resonate throughout. The second track, "Swim Until You Can't See Land," one of the more striking songs here, builds subtly from the plucking of guitar to full-blown orchestration with thumping percussions. The thrilling music is placed against Frightened Rabbit's typically cathartic lyrics; within the refrain, the song's title is repeatedly chanted before asking, "Are you a man or are you a bag of sand?"
These lines may be interpreted as depressing or world-weary, but on the contrary, they are invigorating; it is an anthem to mortality, a call to demonstrate human bravery by staring death in the face. Later, on the seventh track, "Man/Bag of Sand" reconstitutes this chorus into a soundscape of eery samples and fuzzed guitars, echoing the sentiments in a darker mood, exemplifying the texture that unifies the album.
The group also seems to be drawing influence from other contemporary performers to expand its sound. Many of the tracks on Mixed Drinks are subtly backed by the constantly whirring loop of percussive tapping or grinding guitar or other less identifiable sounds. This effect has been used prominently by artists like Panda Bear and El Guincho, and now any number of acts who are moving from the traditional instrumentation of drums, bass, two guitars toward more electronic fiddling and production techniques. It does not necessarily sound electronic in the hands of Frightened Rabbit, but it does provide a foundational layer of sound that may not be readily apparent within the mix of instruments. On "The Wrestle," the ghostly hum is often covered by stronger sounds, but it keeps the song in the realm of the other-worldly that Frightened Rabbit seems to explore in its layers of thoughts and ideas.
Although the album is listenable and even uplifting at times, no songs readily stand out as particularly important or poignant in the way that "Keep Yourself Warm" or "Old Old Fashioned" from The Midnight Organ Fight do. This may be partly due to the shift in sound. As the band explores new territory with its music, it becomes less oriented toward the pop-rock format. But also, as the band continues to dig into issues of identity, longing, and mortality, it may be that the members are just now discovering their truest musical direction with greater, more innovated works waiting to emerge.
Ditching the "live" method of recording that hallmarked Frightened Rabbit's 2008's sophomore release Midnight Organ Fight, 2010's The Winter of Mixed Drinks is described by vocalist/guitarist Scott Hutchison as "a real studio effort. Everything has been separately recorded and that's the way I like to make records." Mixed Drinks follows a fictional protagonist, possibly male, through the highs and lows of a breakdown. Kick-off single "Swim Until you See Land" finds the Scottish lads toying with a more polished production as the song swells into a chant-along "are you a man or are you a bag of sand?"

I think that this is a great album! Might not reach the highs of The Midnight Organ Fight but I think it's more cohesive.

So you are saying no D1 and no D2? Whats your goto DAC then? The Sabre?
So you are saying no D1 and no D2? Whats your goto DAC then? The Sabre?
It sounds smart. I think at a certain point in growing a business you also lose a certain amount of control. You won't be able to do everything personally and that could be an issue that comes into play too. Finding people with a likeminded perspective, people you trust. Not degrading the reason why you took on a venture.
But its a humble outlook, you know.
They are from Plainsboro, NJ... I had a townhouse there when I was younger... maybe I should camp out like an Apple fan.. haha.
Has anyone done a real comparison of the D1 with the U2 vs. coax? Is it worth it sonics-wise? I know it's worth it to be able to read 24/88 and 24/192 files, but I wondered if it sounded much better.
I have mentioned I think twice already in this thread. The U2 to me in short sounded more focussed, extracting more micro details and had better controlled extension. Coax to me sounded tonally richer from the Asus Xonar D2X. The U2 overall is more coherent. It has to be noted they are small differences. I preferred the U2. Whether it is worth it, is up to you. For me, having a USB to SPDIF converter around can always be handy as a high quality transport from a laptop/PC...
I believe the differences can be small though for coax vs U2 if you have a high quality source that outputs a high quality low jitter signal (coax).
I agree.
Love the D2. Have no interest in looking at anything else. Happy, content, just loving the tunes.
Can't wait to get my own !!
May 28th is when it will be available again for order..
Been waiting over 2 years for a DAC and I believe this is the one to get. From what I keep reading, I am going to be very happy !!!
I got a few requests to post impression from my comparison of the D1 and D2. I am no writer/reviewer so I apologize if I am not going into details the way that you might expect but then these are my impressions, not a review.
First off, the differences between the D1 and D2 are small, but real. There is not a night and day difference by any stretch of the imagination, it is subtle but in all ways the D2 is an improvement over the D1, its simply on another level. I look forward to reading project86s impressions as I know he has/had access to more expensive SOTA Dacs.
The D1 is already a reference quality DAC IMHO and is easily one of the top performing DACs available. Unlike Project86 I cannot compare to a really expensive DAC as I dumped everything that I did have after I had a good listen to the D1 and I really only had the D1 and D2 side by side for a relatively short amount of time (month). Long enough however to form some opinions. I used both the logitech squeezebox touch and a PC source for the USB input as well as a PC feeding coax. The logitechs are running a custom build to support a greater range of sampling rates (EDO plugin). The source material was my FLAC collection. The headphones were HE-500s, Sennheiser 650s, and Audeze LCD-2 r2.
The main differences between the two can be summed up by attack, overall management of complex music (micro dynamics even in the presence of notes with a greater dynamic presence), decay, and soundstage. On the leading edge of notes whether it was the snap of a snare, cymbals, guitar string, or piano, you could hear the slightly more coherent and present initial attack of the instrument on the D2. This took direct A-B comparison between the two in order to notice it. I could not do so from memory (I tried) which speaks volumes about the capabilities of the D1. Whenever the music got complex you had the sense that either of them could effortlessly handle anything that was thrown at them, but the D2 did so with just a bit more aplomb than the D1. Again, you would really have to have both on hand to hear the difference as they both sound good but having heard them side by side the difference was tangible. The D2 could also handle the microdynamics with a finesse and purity which was absolutely stunning. I truly thought the D1 was the king in this department but the D2 managed to edge it out ever so slightly imparting a more intimate and emotional experience. Very few systems can draw me into the music like my main stereo but aside from pure dynamic impact, the D2 managed to match the level of tangible emotional engagement just as well, which caught me off guard. The combination of the D1 and the HE-500 was in some ways (micro dynamics) more accurate than my main stereo but perhaps there was just that little bit of missing emotional element which kept it as a second place. For me, I have yet to hear any headphone setup that can match a good full bandwidth stereo system for scale, soundstage, and pure dynamics but still, the D2 was quite surprising as it easily was capable of a level of subtlety that I had not heard from anything other than a very high end system driving full size pure ribbon or planar speakers. With both the HE-500 and LCD-2 as the interface between the D2 and my ears, the music was conveyed with an honesty and transparency that I always found lacking with lesser DACs. I find the anedio sound to be refreshing in its accuracy without the typical treble lift or midrange punch found in some other systems. You would never call any anedio product 'warm' but thats only in comparison with the plush sound of some systems. Because the D2 is absolutely free of glare or grain, the sound is smooth which is what I feel is the most appealing about systems that tend towards more warmth, but it is also different as it manages to be smooth without any loss or exaggeration of detail at any level, a truly magical combination.
Where I feel the D2 has the biggest advantage over the D1 is in terms of decay and soundstage. Listening to a studio recording I could hear farther into the room. This is not about separation or placement of instruments which is already excellent. This is the decay of vocals and instruments into the room environment giving a greater sense of space around the stage and a more palpable sense of its size. Its almost as if you can hear into the emptiness of the recording venue. I know that sounds weird but that is how I picture it. The overall coherency of the soundstage is also just better with the D2. It all just blends together into a more believable and realistc presentation. This is taking nothing away from the D1 which was already stellar in this regard, it is just a notch higher with the D2. I am sure project86 will have more to say on this and other differences as he has a good ear, more equipment for comparison and a larger selection of headphones. For me the highest compliment I can pay to the D2 is what I put in my original response "Have no interest in looking at anything else. Happy, content, just loving the tunes." For people that know me personally this is the highest praise I would place on any product as they know me as the guy that always finds something to complain about. I think that the D2 is probably the best money I have ever spent on my audio addiction. Anyhow, that is my 2c.
Thanks for the impressions of both. I got a D1 recently and feels like I'm not missing out on too much with the D2.
I have a same question.. Does Anedio D2 have a better amp compared to D1 ? Can D2 push headphones to their top performance , both 300omh Senns and Planar Magnetic phones (except HE6 of course) ? If so, than I'm hooked...
It is improved, significantly in some ways. When using an easy to drive Grado, Audio Technica, or IEMs, the difference is small. With more difficult loads like high impedance cans or planars, it is more easily discernable. Does it reach their top performance? That's debatable. Compared to some very expensive stand alone amps I've tried, the D2 integrated section is competitive if maybe not always the absolute best. It excels at clarity and high resolution, so depending on what sound you prefer it could be a perfect match. If you want a smoothing effect, this is not the headphone amp to do that for you.
Quite a hefty price-tag; thanks for the review. There was no mention of bass in the review (?).

The Bread Bible's Honey Whole-Wheat Bread Recipe
The bread machine recipes in this book offer ingredient amounts for two different sized loaves—either 1 1/2 pounds or 1 pound. I opted to make the larger loaf (and those are the measurements listed in the recipe here).
It's nice to have the options, which makes it more flexible for people with different machines that make loaves of different sizes.
Since this book doesn't give weights for the flour, it's a bit of a leap of faith to add the ingredients, slam the lid shut, and hope that the hydration is correct. Bread machine recipes are easy, but not foolproof. I was pleased that this worked on the first try.
What Worked: This was a fluffy and flavorful loaf that rose nicely and worked well in the bread machine.
What Didn't: Even with the crust setting on Light, the crust got a little browner than I'd prefer on the bottom and sides. Not a deal-breaker, and a different bread machine might have a different result.
Suggested Tweaks: Next time I'd cut back a little bit on the honey and perhaps add some sunflower seeds for some texture.

I have about $300 put aside for some fun money, and wanted to ask for some opinions on what purchase would best upgrade my sound.
I currently have Grado SR-60's, and I usually listen from my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro. To preface, I really love the "Grado sound". I also have the iGi earbuds.
Should I upgrade my headphones (225, 325), or should I get a headphone amp/DAC?
Opinions appreciated.

This question is actually being asked?
Yeah. Try answering it.
after she does.
preferably IMMEDIATELY after she does, to alleviate her embarrassment and make it one of those classic relationship milestones.
I really don't understand the big deal about farting. I remember the first time I farted in front of a boyfriend and I remember being horribly embarrassed. He thought it was amusing and we moved on. I farted within the first month with my husband, but it was after he had already made it clear to me that he could give two shits about gas. We got REALLY close really fast. But as I said, I really don't understand the big deal. We all pass gas. My daughter let out a big one today while sitting on my lap after a nice meal with family today. It vibrated my whole seat. I'm so proud.
During sex, now that's a different story. That shit is just fucking funny.
The interwebs know all....
Is it true that a woman can fart out of her, shall we say, frontal opening, and if so, where does the gas come from?
Yes, it is true! The gas that emerges is simply trapped air, for there is no gas production in the genitalia of a woman. The air can enter because the system is open to the outside. This highly specialized kind of fart is sometimes called a queef. This occurs especially frequently during the sex act, when air in the genitalia gets compressed and is forced out at high pressure.
In the British Isles, this phenomenon is known as a "fanny fart." Whereas, in the United States, "fanny" refers to the buttocks, in Great Britain, the word pertains to the female pudenda.
Is it weird to enjoy farting?
It is not unusual to enjoy farting. I believe that enjoyment of farting is a healthy attitude, since everyone has to fart. If a person is farting to the extent that it creates problems and unhappiness, then a visit to a doctor is in order.
Is it common for people to enjoy smelling their own farts?
I believe that it is not only common, it is universal. A person farts and then thinks, at least subconsciously, "Wow, I made that!"
Can farting be considered sexy?
Everything imaginable, and many things not imaginable, can be considered sexy by humans. However, the female southern pine beetle exudes a pheromone called frontalin in her flatus that not only serves to attract males but acts as a general gathering call to both males and females of her species. Her farts are an invitation to an orgy. Unfortunately for her, her frontalin-laden farts also attract predators.
I am not cool with this in front of anyone. I go to the bathroom and sit on the can when the feeling comes. How sanitary is it to release gas on your clothes and yourself and continue to walk around? Say no to farting in front of another person.
Whiskey Sour
2 oz blended whiskey

1/2 tsp powdered sugar
1 cherry
1/2 slice lemon
Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon, top with the cherry, and serve.
I just think that's sad. Two of my good friends have never farted in front of their wives. To me, that is such a sign of repression that I wonder how little else they share with each other.
I can't say that I enjoy mine or other's farts, but jesus christ what is the big deal. It's a shitty smell that lingers for a moment and then goes away.
Even if your married, it's not ok to fart in front of your spouse...
however 30-50 years in your not going to give a fuck

SINGAPORE – Karrie Webb slipped up several weeks ago at the Australian Ladies Masters when she signed an incorrect scorecard and was disqualified. For a moment at the HSBC Women's Champions on Thursday, she thought she had made a similar mistake.
After shooting a 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead in the opening round, Webb feared she may have forgotten to sign her scorecard. She rushed back into the scoring tent only to find her scorecard was just fine.
"I've just had trouble getting out of the scorer tent since then," she said about her mistake in Australia. "I walked out (today) and couldn't remember if I signed my card, which it would have been too late anyway."
Sweden's Caroline Hedwall and American Paula Creamer were tied for second after shooting 5-under 67, a stroke ahead of 2012 champion Angela Stanford and Taiwan's Teresa Lu in joint fourth.
Disqualification aside, Webb is having a strong start to the season. A week after the ill-fated Australian Ladies Masters, she won her fifth Women's Australian Open title, and 40th overall.
The 39-year-old Australian has won seven majors in her long career, but none since the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2006. Her results have been consistent, if not dominant, in recent years – she had six top-10 finishes on the LPGA Tour last year and one win at the ShopRite LPGA Classic.
"I've had a good career and I feel like I want to finish in the fashion that I started," she said. "I just continue to work hard, and my working hard now is probably a little different to my working hard 20 years ago, but it's still working hard."
Webb birdied four of her first six holes on Thursday, then sank a difficult 15-foot putt to save par on the par-4 11th hole. Her only mistake on the green was a close miss on the 12th hole when her birdie putt from 2 feet lipped out of the hole.
Creamer has also had a fast start to the year, finishing tied for third at her first two tournaments – the Pure Silk Bahamas Classic and the Women's Australian Open. She's played well on this course in Singapore, too, finishing in third place here last year.
The American hasn't had a win on the LPGA Tour, though, since her breakthrough victory at the U.S. Women's Open in 2010.
"My main goal is just to be very consistent this year and a win happens by itself, you don't have to force any of that," she said.
World No. 1 Inbee Park, who finished runner-up to Sweden's Anna Nordqvist last week at the Honda LPGA Thailand, had a 2-under 70 and was in a tie for seventh with four others.
Park, the winner of three majors last year, could lose her top ranking to Suzann Pettersen this week if the Norwegian wins the event and Park doesn't finish higher than a tie for third. Pettersen had a 1-under 71 on Thursday for equal 12th place.
"It wasn't a bad putting day, but I hit the ball great today," Park said. "And I didn't get myself in big trouble so that's good."
Sixteen-year-old Lydia Ko of New Zealand struggled with her putting, making just two birdies and finishing at 1-over 73, tied for 27th place with Nordqvist, American Michelle Wie, former No. 1 Yani Tseng and several others.
Ko is not the youngest in the field this week. Fifteen-year-old Singaporean Amanda Tan won a qualifying tournament in January to become the youngest-ever player at the HSBC Champions. She was in last place after a 7-over 79.

It should suffice quite nicely. Technically speaking the Titanium HD is an amp. Though clearly not the best when put in the context of standalone audiophile headphone amps which cost the same or more. Obviously.
But it should do great for you. That plus the DT 990 Pro will be like working wonders compared to what you were using.
Alright. I think I'm going to go with this for now and look at external amplifiers down the road. Thanks.

Since at least February, when FBI agents walked out of the North Side police headquarters with boxes of documents, a wide range of officials have worked to scrutinize and overhaul the bureau's practice of assigning police side jobs and accounting for the millions of dollars they generate every year.
Their efforts accelerated when former police Chief Nate Harper was indicted on federal charges of conspiracy, accused of "causing" employees to misapply checks that had been sent to the bureau by businesses that hired officers for side jobs. Around $70,000 was misappropriated and deposited in an outside account, which he tapped for personal use, according to the indictment. Mr. Harper's attorney has said he plans to plead guilty.
But Tuesday, as city Controller Michael Lamb released an audit started just two days before the former chief was indicted in March, it became evident that the fixes that have been made do little to plug some of the holes in oversight that allowed the money to slip out of the city with little detection.
For example, until this week, no one outside the bureau was comparing invoices -- what the bureau is billing businesses -- to deposit slips. Police officials were unsure if that process occurs within the bureau. This process, called reconciliation, could help the city verify that the money it's owed is actually making it into city coffers.
On Tuesday, Denise Haas, the personnel and finance director for the department of public safety, was assigned to go to the bureau to review records. She said she planned to compare invoices that were issued to the deposits made.
Public safety director Mike Huss said her review was prompted by the audit but said the controller's office should be performing the reconciliation.
"Why doesn't he reconcile it?" he said. "Where's he in all of this?"
Mr. Lamb, for his part, said that while he's responsible for periodic audits, the city treasurer is responsible for regular reconciliation of accounts and for reviewing city revenues.
"It's something that really needs to be done by the treasurer's as part of their basic function of auditing revenue for the city," he said.
At a news conference Tuesday, Mr. Lamb reiterated his belief that the way the funds were accounted for opened the door for fraud to go undetected. But it's not clear that fixes that have been made -- segregating funds, for example -- would make fraud easier to detect.
The process that dictates how the funds move through the city has not changed much, though acting assistant Chief Thomas Stangrecki, who oversees secondary employment, said controls have been tightened within the bureau so that checks are rigorously tracked as they move from office to office. Acting Chief Regina McDonald, who previously oversaw the offices, said the new process involves "more of a paper trail."
As before, the bureau's Office of Special Events bills businesses -- from restaurants to strip clubs to churches -- for hiring officers for side jobs and then collects the checks from them. The checks are then forwarded to the bureau's Office of Personnel and Finance. There, bundles of checks are recorded in spreadsheets and then sent to the city's Finance Department, which deposits them. The Finance Department forwards deposit slips and the spreadsheets to the controller's office.
According to an attorney for Sandra Ganster, the head of the bureau's Office of Personnel and Finance who has been on involuntary leave since early this year, Mr. Harper directed her to open the outside accounts and deposit checks in them. Mr. Harper then accessed the funds for personal use through a debit card to the tune of about $30,000.
While the controller's office did receive copies of the spreadsheets and compare them to deposit slips, Mr. Lamb said previously that the problem was that the document was generated "after the checks were getting misdirected."
That meant if a check ended up in an outside account instead of city coffers, there was no way of knowing since the spreadsheet would have omitted it.
That problem has still not been remedied, according to Mr. Lamb, who reiterated that he believes its the treasurer's job to audit that money.
Chief Stangrecki, however, said the Office of Personnel and Finance does receive copies of deposit slips from the controller's office to verify the money sent to the city ended up in its bank accounts. But neither knew if the Office of Special Events was also checking deposit slips to ensure the checks they received made it to the city's accounts. It's not clear if anyone is performing that crucial start-to-finish review.
Previously, neither the controller nor the Finance Department was accounting for the money that came to the city through the cost recovery fee -- a per officer, per hour surcharge that brought in nearly $800,000 in one year. Mr. Lamb said all of that money was accounted for as premium pay, a line item that included wages for officers who worked side jobs. It had the effect of "padding" that account, making it more difficult to see if money was missing, he said.
Though the city and the controller blame each other for the sloppy accounting of the funds, that's one flaw in the system that has been remedied. In April, city council passed legislation creating a trust fund for all of the funds so the city could get a better handle on how much is collected through side jobs, particularly through the administrative fee.
City council also took the step of actually legislating the fee. Now all secondary employment money is deposited in the trust fund and for accounting purposes, is segregated into three line items: premium pay (officers' wages), cost recovery fee and vehicle/equipment fee. This allows the city to know exactly how much it's collected in each category.
In a trust fund, the funds are subject to greater scrutiny since they have to be audited annually by Mr. Lamb.
Soon, the entire process will be removed from the police bureau and instead handed over to the North Carolina-based Cover Your Assets Inc. The company already furnishes software to the city that helps track and assign side jobs to officers. As soon as a contract with the company is finalized, it will take over many of the functions of the Office of Special Events, which will be moved from the bureau to an office Downtown. The company will issue invoices and the checks will be sent straight to the city treasurer's office, located on the first floor of the City-County Building.
Mr. Huss said the city is also working on a software "patch" that will connect Cover Your Assets with the city's financial management software. That means when Cover Your Assets creates an invoice, a parallel "accounts receivable" line will be created at the city.
The new system will allow the Finance Department and the controller's office to track the funds through a computer system from beginning to end, he said, making it easier to detect if a check has gone undeposited.

CONNEAUT -- Someone who bought a Powerball ticket in northeast Ohio picked all six numbers correctly and will claim a $122 million jackpot.
The state lottery office says the winning ticket in Wednesday night's drawing was sold in Conneaut, about 70 miles northeast of Cleveland on Lake Erie.
The winner picked the numbers themselves -- 9-25-42-55-57 and Powerball 14 -- and overcame 1-in-175 million odds in matching them to the drawing. The winner now has 180 days to claim the prize.
The retailer that sold the winning ticket, True North, gets a $100,000 bonus.
It's the third time the winning ticket has been sold in Ohio since the state joined the Powerball game in April 2010.

he allegations yesterday that a despicable Washington, D.C. police officer made a death threat against Michelle Obama got me thinking about whether she was the first to receive such threats. She is not.
According to the First Ladies Fact Book, Richard Nixon's wife Pat received dozens. An excerpt says:
I also called the National First Ladies Library and asked this question. A receptionist who answered said they didn't have a historian on staff, but were confident that all first ladies receive death threats.
I also sent an e-mail to historian Patricia Brady, who's written about and researched First Ladies a lot. As soon as I hear back from her, I'll update this post.
Maybe Michelle Obama receives more death threats than the others did. But it looks like she isn't being threatened solely because she's black — as some Internet commenters have suggested — but because she's married to a powerful man with a lot of equally powerful enemies.

Prove Yourself Again with Your First Performance Review
By Peter Vogt, Monster Senior Contributing Writer
You did so well in your recent job interviews with Company X that you got the entry-level position you really wanted. But your days of having to prove your value to the company are just beginning.
In a few months or perhaps even a year from now, you'll be asked to demonstrate your worth again to your supervisor during your first performance review.
Granted, your review probably won't carry the same make-or-break pressure as your job interview. But it will still have a significant impact on your future assignments, work relationships, day-to-day activities and salary. So you need to be as ready for your review as you were for all those interviews. And that means preparing for it from day one.
"The key to a successful performance review is what happens during the three, six or 12 months before the meeting," says Gene Mage, president of Making It Work, a Horseheads, New York-based leadership development and consulting firm. That's the time when your working relationship with your boss will be crystallized -- or not.
But here's the hard part: In many ways, forging that solid relationship will be up to you, says Sherry Cornwell, a selection specialist and strategic business partner for Medica, a Minneapolis-based health insurance company.
"I say this because there are many organizations and managers who do not take the lead in on-boarding their new employees," Cornwell says. "In the end, it's the employee's primary responsibility not to wait for information to be given to them, but to be proactive."
In other words, sooner rather than later, you need to clarify your role and your boss's expectations of you to determine how you'll eventually be assessed at your performance review. Do you have individual goals you need to achieve? Company goals?
When your review is only a few weeks or days away, you must become more concrete by completing tasks like these:
Summarize Your Key Achievements
Think about what you've achieved since you began the job, and develop a written list of your most important accomplishments. Just as you might do if you were to highlight these achievements on your resume, quantify wherever possible, and mention specific results (e.g., "helped streamline the customer database, reducing query processing time by about 40 percent.").
Present These Accomplishments
"Brainstorm concrete examples that illustrate outstanding performance, and practice communicating them so they're on the tip of your tongue," says Alexandra Levit, author of They Don't Teach Corporate in College.
You might even want to develop and use a career portfolio, a binder filled with items that will help you show your supervisor what you've accomplished.
Your portfolio need not be lengthy or complicated to be effective, says portfolio expert Carmen Croonquist, director of career services at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
While you may not have the time or inclination to prepare a full-fledged portfolio featuring layout pages, divider tabs, captions for the various items and a table of contents, "it's still advantageous to put the items into a nice binder, even in instances where you're planning to leave it behind with your supervisor," Croonquist says.
Develop a Detailed Agenda
"If you don't care about your performance reviews, no one else will," Levit stresses. "The worst thing you can do for your career as a new employee is to go through the process passively."
Make a detailed list of what you'd like to cover during your actual review meeting that's independent of your manager's agenda, Levit says. That way, you'll be able to discuss what you want to focus on, not just what the boss wants to talk about.
No matter how much you prepare, your performance review will still be at least a bit stressful. So try not to become defensive if you get some constructive criticism during the meeting, and listen as much as you talk.
If you've done your homework ahead of time and worked hard to build a solid relationship with your supervisor, then your formal review will be "exactly that -- a formality," Mage says.

NOM Coming to Oregon To Defend Marriage Ban
SALEM, Ore. - A national group opposed to same-sex marriage says it will seek to defend Oregon's gay-marriage ban from challenges in federal court.
The National Organization for Marriage said in a press release that it plans to file a motion to intervene on Monday. A federal judge is scheduled to hear arguments over Oregon's voter-approved same-sex marriage ban on Wednesday.
Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum has declined to defend the state constitutional ban. She says in court filings that there's no reason the state should treat same-sex couples differently from opposite-sex couples when it comes to marriage.
National Organization for Marriage chairman John Eastman says it's wrong that a challenge to Oregon's marriage law would go forward without a meaningful defense.

The Wayne Shorter Quartet, "Without a Net" (Blue Note)
Saxophonist Wayne Shorter ranks among jazz's greatest composers, but when his quartet performs live – as on this album – his compositions are mere frameworks for daring improvisations that take off in unexpected directions without a safety net. His acoustic quartet includes three leaders in their own right – pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade – who've developed an almost telepathic interplay after 12 years together.
On "Without a Net," his first Blue Note recording in 43 years, the 79-year-old Shorter remakes two earlier compositions, "Orbits," written for the Miles Davis Quintet, and "Plaza Real," created for his jazz-fusion band Weather Report. "Flying Down to Rio," from the 1933 film that first paired Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, is transformed into a harmonically complex, other worldly exploration.
There are six new Shorter compositions, ranging from the hypnotically melodic "Starry Night" to the 23-minute chamber jazz, tone poem, "Pegasus," performed with The Imani Winds quintet that walks a tightrope between written and improvised music.

As college recruiting continues to be a challenge, many schools hope a run at a national title in football or basketball can get prospective students to check out their campus. But for a small private school in the Midwest, an unprecedented domination of another competition may be what sets them apart. Bradley University has won more national titles in speech competitions than UCLA, Kentucky and Duke combined have in basketball.

Official Title: | The Effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy in Reducing Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness in Marathon Runners. A Double-blind Randomized Placebo-controlled Study. |
- Thigh pain by walking [ Time Frame: 5 days ]
Primary outcome of thigh pain during semi-squat during 5 days following the marathon showed a significantly lower pain among the active group compared to the placebo group.
The outcome was thigh muscle pain measured on a 10 cm visual analog scale during a squat of 90 degrees three times a day; when they woke up, at 12 pm and 8 pm.
- Registration of injuries and symptoms from the musculoskeletal system. [ Time Frame: 5 days ]The group that received active pulsed electromagnetic field was running for a significant longer time the first day following the marathon.

Detailed Description:
There is a growing body of clinical evidence which shows that noninvasive, nonpharmacologic pulsed electromagnetic fields have many clinical effects. Pulsed electromagnetic fields have shown to reduce pain in different groups of patients. This concerns patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, distal radius fractures, pelvic pain and postoperative patients.
A marathon is a muscular strain. Physiologic effects of a marathon involves muscular and connective tissue damage which initiates an inflammatory response as well as release of metabolic factors like lactate and free radicals, intracellular metabolites and by-products of proteolysis.
The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic fields compared to placebo in reducing delayed onset muscle soreness in marathon runners.
