Nashville resident Jennifer Murray is caught in the snare of uncertainty looming over Tennessee health insurance coverage.
Self-employed as a health care consultant, the single 48-year-old bought individual coverage through BlueCross BlueShield Tennessee's marketplace plans each year since the Affordable Care Act took effect in 2014.

As an icon of American culture, the hamburger is infinitely variable. Though enduring as many costume changes as Madonna and Lady Gaga combined, the burger is essentially a statement of utter simplicity: a grilled or fried or broiled patty of ground beef served between two pieces of bread. The additions or condiments depend as much on regional tradition as personal taste. The lettuce-tomato-mayonnaise camp mans the barricades against the ketchup-mustard-pickle contingent, and never the twain shall agree.
Among designers, retailers and homeowners, there's little consensus on where home decor and design are headed except that the watchword will be "ease."
Whatever our personal style may look like – whether we embrace the past, with traditional furnishings and warm colors, or go sleek, functional and space-agey – a simple, beautiful space "is the design equivalent of comfort food" in tumultuous times, says Design Public's head blogger, Becky Harris.
Memphis might lag behind other cities when it comes to developing and connecting green spaces, but a collaboration of organizations is working to improve this community's "greenprint," or its collection of parks, trails and other natural areas, and then link them to regional and national green spaces.

The owners of the one-room coffee bar and café across the street from Memphis City Hall have heard that mayor Willie Herenton is a fan of their fresh-baked muffins.
They assume the mayor sends someone to fetch him a batch, because they haven't seen much of him. Yet he's one example of the loyal customer base The Daily Grind bistro has cultivated during its six-year run, which comes to an end Friday.

Bruna was very kind to us. She gave us a ride to the rental apartment from her own place when we arrived by taxi from the airport. She also gave us our last ride to the train station on our departure day & helped us to figure out where we needed to wait to catch our bus to Austria. That was very helpful, Bruna!
We seemed to click instantly while we chatted & folded dry sheets together.
Great experience with our host!
Bruna and Walter met us at the room location and took us to the little apartment. The room was clean and very up to date. It was also in a quiet location. Half a block away is a bus station and ticket office that gets you into Venice. Bruna had valuable tips for our stay and we felt very well taken care of.
Bruna is very nice, helpful and you will get a lot of useful infos travelling and eating in venice. The bedroom is small but comfortable, the bathroom very clean and the kitchen had everything we need. The photos say all...
We had three nice days at Brunas Cozy Modern Room!
Thanks to Bruna
Bea and Fabian (Berlin)
Great place to stay! Bruna is a very nice host and gave us lots of good advise about restaurants, parties, shopping etc. If we come back to Venice, we would stay here again. The room was clean and we shared the kitchen with another couple. You can go to Venice by bus, 15 min, bus stop is not far from the house.
Amazing host, and very helpful for us.
She knows a lot of places in Venice.
House is extremely clean and very well designed. It 10 min from Venice by bus, so if you want to go to Venice, choose Bruna's house in Marguera.
See you soon Bruna :)
Bruna was a a respectful, helpful host. The aparmtent is located close to Venice Mestre and is good base to explore the old beuatiful Venice centre.
Brunas place was very nice. Bruna gives good information about venize and how to get there. The location is out of the tourist attractions what is a good thing. You can get to venize by buss every 10 min. And remember never cut the pasta!
La casa sorprende para mejor respecto a las fotos! Es preciosa, y Bruna es de lo más encantadora. Nos explicó como llegar a todo y nos recomendó visitas, siempre pendiente a nuestras necesidades. Nos fue de mucha ayuda su amigo que nos llevo al aeropuerto en coche por un precio muy económico, también fue una persona encantadora y muy puntual. Muy bien conectada con todos los transportes.

fiberglass pin holes
ok guys, ive got guy here that wants me to fix crappy body kit, its got thousands of tiny pin holes in fiberglass and then he sprayed some "dimensions" brand primer(a.k.a. crap) lol and then it dried. You guessed right it pin holed all up again. what would you suggest to fix that, I thought maybe taking time and laying skin coats of polyester putty and then sanding it down till smooth.
Sponsored Links | |||
That is what I would suggest. If they are pin holes as you say then one coat of poly should fill them and then just block sand it.
I hate to sound like an alarmist, but pinholes over a fresh FRP surface sounds to me like a possible "root cause" might be mold release residue left on the gel coat berfore attempting to paint. Especially a silicone-containing mold release. Before doing any more work on this, I'd try a cross-hatch adhesion test to make sure that you have some adhesion between the gel coat and the first coat of paint that's already on there.
BarryK or MartinSr, do you concur with my opinion on this? If this proves to be the case, I'd sand thoroughly, then give a good solvent wipe, before putting any additional coatings of any sort on. |
Exactly right, and some of these are just plain not cured out! You see a lot of these problems with shops that do customizing. Some of these parts come in very uncured. Some we have sanded epoxy or primer back off and left in the sun for a few days some for weeks. Some times a short wave or medium wave light will help to cure out panel but I will say we have had mixed result with these lamps in this situation. We have also found that if you get the panel somewhat cured out and you spray a coat of epoxy over the glass again, if the epoxy does not "Fish-eye" but only minor has minor pinholes than we have found that the epoxy will have a good bond. To test this you need to let the panel set 24-48 hours than use duct tape in a number of spots. We have had a number of parts that never would cure out- many and many! . |

Jean Palmieri, veteran Fairchild editor since 1986, reports on the recent sale of Paul Stuart to Mitsui. Opinions run the gamut, from Thom Browne to Alan Flusser and down 44th Street to Claudio Del Vecchio at the Golden Fleece. I called Charlie Davidson when I heard about the sale:

Several life assurance companies have already announced sharp cuts in reversionary bonuses this week and most others will be following suit shortly. How can this be? After all, the stock market had another record year last year.
Lamentably, it doesn't work like that. Throughout most of the 1990s overall rates of return, both on equities and bonds have been falling. It's our old friend deflation once more. Most life companies have desperately been trying to ignore this painful reality, digging into their free assets in an effort to keep bonuses high so as better to market their life policies. Then last year, there was a particularly big drop in returns on gilts, exacerbated by the removal of the tax credit on equity dividends. The moment of truth has now arrived.
Defenders of this old fashioned, paternalistic way of saving say it doesn't really matter. Lower returns are merely a reflection of lower rates of inflation, and in real terms the punter will end up with just as much money as he was quoted in the 1980s, when it was assumed inflation would remain high.
What's more, the annual bonus, decided by actuaries on the basis of what they think fair and reasonable, is what makes with profits life assurance different from unit linked forms of saving. It may be that life companies are now being too conservative in their bonus policy. If this proves to be the case, it will be reflected in more generous terminal bonuses when policies mature. Over the life time of the policy, the peaks and troughs are ironed out.
As even the industry's most die hard supporters concede, however, at a time when bonuses are being cut, it is hard to make people understand these merits. There will always be a sizeable market for with profits life assurance, but the latest round of bonus cuts will do nothing to enhance the already dented reputation of this opaque and sometimes fuddy duddy old industry.

While we now know that the game is not directly tied to Demon's Souls' story or universe, Miyazaki hinted that there were various reasons as to why this is not a direct sequel. Regardless, he was more than happy to make Dark Souls because it allowed him room to be creative without the limitations.
Dark Souls' world will be a seamless one, which Miyazaki says to think of as one large, full dungeon, whereas Demon's Souls was split up into stages. The map will be fully connected, although at the moment it is still being worked on. He promised a lot of variety in the map though, such as a fantasy setting, hell, not to mention dark fantasy just like its predecessor. In creating the map, they made sure to keep the player in mind in terms of view points, but they also wanted to make the map easy for players to grasp.
While Demon's Souls took about 30-40 hours to complete, Dark Souls will be even longer as Miyazaki estimates it should take about 60 hours. (You can look at this two ways: more bang for your buck, or more frustration as it's supposed to be a more difficult game. Take your pick!) The game also boasts more than 100 different enemies whereas Demon's Souls just had about 30. Weapons, magic and armor will also be increased, which are currently being worked on. As you might have seen with the vases, a new ability is turning yourself into objects. Weapons' speed and recovery times will depend on your character's stats. Players might wish to keep older weapons as they progress if they suit their playing style, so upgrades won't always be necessary. Finally, the weapon fortification system, which wasn't very popular in Demon's Souls will be making a return, and hopefully will make more sense this time around.
Miyazaki described the online play as a 'shared play' experience, and likened it to the old Dragon Quest games, where each character fought individually but you still felt you were all going through the same experience and struggles. You will slowly have an effect on other players and vice versa. Regarding the co-op and competitive modes, he simply described it as 'mutual roleplaying.' Other than details that emerged last week, there weren't too many concrete details on the online mode itself. The staff currently has no plans for downloadable content, but haven't ruled it out in the future, either.
From Software is self-publishing the title in Japan while Namco Bandai will look after its overseas release. Many of us (and you, I'm sure) have been wondering why Atlus USA didn't make a return. First, Dark Souls is going into several overseas markets, and Namco Bandai 'takes part' in the game's worldwide strategy. There won't be any Namco Bandai or From Software cameos however, save a sword called Moon Light, originally seen in King's Field and later on in Armored Core and Demon's Souls.
Aspects of Demon's Souls felt both Japanese and Western depending on who you ask. While Dark Souls wasn't designed specifically with overseas fans in mind, Miyazaki did keep a few things under consideration for them: The interface and controls, and making sure the localization work wouldn't be too difficult for Namco... as well as avoiding any cultural taboo references.
One last interesting tidbit: Quite a few names were tossed around, including Dark Ring, Dark Lord and Dark Race. The first was tossed out because Dark Ring is actually slang for anus in Britain. The last caused worry that it may come off as a racist phrase. There are, however, a Dark Ring (if a dark ring is seem emerging from your character, this means you're cursed) and a Dark Race (a cursed race) in the game.
Dark Souls will see a release sometime this year in Japan, and, well later this year overseas. Miyazaki has warned not to expect a demo, as he feels he't not very good at creating demos and the game's appeal wouldn't come across very well in such a short play time. For a look at the game, you can check out our new-as-of-last-week gallery, below.

Viking Boots: Men's Steel Toe Rubber Work Boots X030G
Wellington-style, Pull-On boots are an asset to any Working Man. And when they're tipped with Steel Toes, they're perfect for all types of jobs. These Viking Men's Bekina Green Steplite Lightweight Waterproof Steel Toe Rubber Boots X030G are just the thing for men who want coverage and protection in messy, industrial situations.
The CSA class #1 steel toes protect your feet from all sorts of threats. Steel toes cover the front of your feet from stubbing and falling objects from above. Since the toe caps are higher on these boots, you'll find them to be comfortable and roomy. Packing plants, docks, farms and factories are all perfect places to wear these boots.
Constructed of foamed, waterproof polyurethane, these Viking boots let you walk through all sorts of sludge without getting gross. The material is 40% lighter than PVC or rubber, so you'll find that you have less leg fatigue when wearing them. The polyurethane is long wearing too, and it stays flexible to -30 degrees Celsius. Wear these lightweight steel toe rubber boots in the snow, in freezers, and in factory cold rooms.
Depending on the types of substances you work with your footwear may take a beating. The polyurethane material these boots are made of resists mineral, animal and vegetable oils. It also resists fats, blood, disinfectants, manure, solvents, motor oil and petroleum-based chemicals. Obviously, they're well-suited to tons of industries.
Comfort is also a Viking priority. These boots are wider-fitting and have a kick-off spur. That makes them easy to slip in and out of, since they don't restrict you behind the heels. Depending on your needs, you can easily shorten these steel toe rubber boots just by cutting them down. There's a cut-off line across the top that you can use as a guide to trim them.
The soles offer more slip resistance than those on your average rubber boots, and have an improved, grippier sole profile. The heel, which is angled for easy walking, also absorbs shocks. Factory floors are hard and often slick. These soles give you good cushioning and traction.
Inside, washable, moisture-absorbing and cold-insulating insoles make these boots easy to clean. Just wash them out, drain and dry. And since they're insulating, your feet stay warmer in these boots than in cheap rubber boots.
Cover your feet in waterproof comfort. Order yourself a pair of Viking Men's Bekina Green Steplite Waterproof Steel Toe Rubber Boots X030G. Click and order now.

It's all been a bit wacky since the last post. I was full of life and full of fun but got a bit overexcited. I reverted to dropping Largactil (Chlorpromazine/Thorazine) to calm down and get a handle on things. Unfortunately the old Largactil gives me palpitations and makes me reach for the GTN spray. Eventually I took to bed to try and reduce all the stimulation. Because I was in bed Mrs Mo thought I was depressed and it made me wonder was I having some sort of mixed episode? If so this was new for me. Anyway, after a few days in bed I rose like Lazarus to once again face the world. Well, not exactly face the world but at least the living room and the cat. I have not left the house. I'm too irritable, people drive me crazy. Mrs Mo has phoned the radio station these past two weeks to say I wouldn't be in. I have been busy writing and recording songs. Tunes are just blasting out of my head but completing stuff is difficult.
I got the annual summons to visit the GP for a "double appointment" to review my "chronic mental health problem". However, I didn't feel well enough to see the doctor, this phrase always tickles Mrs Mo. But I loathe seeing doctors and can only tolerate them when I'm relatively well. I hate the interrogations, they never offer any help, treatment or therapy. They just ask lots of questions so that they can tick their boxes, do their risk assessments, meet their targets and earn their commissions. None of this is any benefit to me. It's just them making money out of our taxes. Anyway, Mrs Mo went to my appointment instead. Portillo revealed that Moonstone had written to him saying she thought I was a bit high. He wanted to see me and if I don't appear within the next month he will come to the house and see me. Hmmmm.
I've still never heard about my driving licence (which runs out tomorrow) but I did get a brilliant letter from the Department Of Work & Pensions today. They have decide to continue my Disability Living Allowance. I will continue to receive the high rate of care allowance and the low rate of mobility allowance for another FIVE YEARS!!!! Yowza! The new Tory/Lib Alliance are all set to slash benefits and investigate all claims rigorously but at least I'm off to a good start. It would be great if they really left me alone until 2015... maybe they will.... but I doubt it.But hey! Five Years!

Waking Up
Last night I dreamed a nurse told me about the new DSM codes for bipolar disorder. She explained there would now simply be two possible diagnoses; "Bipolar Psychiatry" and "Bipolar Second Generation". "Which shall I fall under?", "Bipolar Second Generation" she replied. When I asked what this meant she said that it signified second generation Nazi. I woke up before I could ask her if this meant I was a second generation Nazi or simply fell into the age-group of people who were a couple of generations behind the Nazi regime in Europe. I woke perplexed knowing that I won't see Moonstone for 6 months so can't clarify this.
These days my dreams are so vivid and my days are so vague I wonder which is the real waking state. When I go to bed at night do I fall into consciousness? and then in the morning climb out of bed into unconsciousness?
In the daytime dreamstate I am still busy recording music... oh and I have also now applied for my temporary driving licence.

Sony finally stops making casette Walkmans
Remember those big boxy things that you wore on your hip, and had to open up every twenty minutes or so to turn over the thingy inside so the good tunes didn't stop? Yeah, me either. But the Japanese may have a harder time letting go, as it seems that Sony is just now getting around to ceasing production of the cassette Walkman in the far east. Sony will stop selling cassette Walkmans in Japan when the current supply runs dry sometime around April. However, China will still see the production of Sony brand Walkmans, but they will probably be few and far between. Now, let's all bow our heads and finally lay the cassette Walkman down to rest.

MarHaba from Damascus
MarHaba from Damascus,
Today has been a difficult day. We started at 5:30 this morning and returned at 9:00 pm very tired and hungry. It began with a bus ride toward Palmyra where we departed at a junction where we could travel to Quarytein. This was also the intersection for travel to Bagdad and we saw across the road a large group of trucks that started out in a convoy while we were standing along the road discussing our options. The road to Quarytein took us in the opposite direction and looked quite desolate with little or no traffic so we asked at the roadside stop if we could hire a driver and car for a few hours. One was called and arrived. Unknown to us we were entering a sensitive area. Between us we had three different Syrian maps and had watched for road signs none of which indicated a restriction on travel in this area. We were soon being interrogated and our destination determined for us. Instead of looking in potential Iris habitat we were driven to a mineral hot spring area that also had some ruins. During our time in the area we saw that the "chalky hill" habitat for the species was being removed during phosphorus extraction. Finding populations of this plant would require considerable planning and probably would be more fruitful with travel from Homs. The ride back to Syria was a new experience as we hitched a ride with a truck driver. He was very kind and stayed beside the road with us on the edge of Damascus until we successfully flagged down a bus.
Ma'a salaama!
MarHaba from Damascus,
Today was an organizational day as we washed clothes, checked bus routes, compared notes on probable population sites and prepared to search for our the final Iris we hoped to see in Syria. I have herbarium records from the the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden but they are old and the locations somewhat vague. On the positive side they are consistent in that the species has been collected multiple times in the hills around Quarytein.
Ma'a salaama!
4/20/0MarHaba from Damascus,
Today was another long day as we had three Iris sites to visit. The town of Suwayda (Suweida) was our destination. We saw vegetative plants of I. auranitica (past flowering) west of town in the foothills of El Hauran. The site is a cinder cone with large boulders. There were Tulipa in bloom. We hired a taxi from Suweida who dropped us off at the base of the hill and picked us up an hour later.
Our next destination was about 2 km from Suweida on dry rocky banks near a stream. We found several plants of I. bostensis with one still in flower. According to Thomas this flower was smaller than typical. The area is heavily grazed and weedy.
We then boarded a bus towards Damascus stopping at our final destination for the day, a gravel hill outside of Shahba. Here we found many mostly small vegetative plants (past bloom) of I. swensoniana. Thomas had visited the site several weeks earlier and found only about 6 plants flowering. We observed no developing fruits but did not inspect each clump. Although the population has healthy numbers and many small plants its future looks bleak because they are removing this hill for gravel. This is the only site I am aware of for this species. We then walked back to Shahba and caught a bus to Damascus.
Ma'a salaama!
MarHaba from Damascus,
Today we started early and traveled quickly because we had two Iris sites to visit. First we traveled by bus to the town of Blouden to see Iris antilibanotica. The town is at a high elevation and a destination for vacationers during summer months. We took a taxi to the site 10 km up the mountain at the snow line where we found vegetative plants that will flower in about a month. There were fritillaries Tulipa and Romula in bloom and vegetative Lomatium (biscuit root) that were being harvested by locals. Unfortunately this rich mountain habitat is rapidly being converted to apple orchards. We hiked back down to the town passing by two men who were selling dried fruit and nuts from the back of their truck. Clyde's addition to nuts coupled with their prices cost us a small fortune.
The second site was on the cliffs above Damascus so we traveled back to Damascus and took a taxi up Mt. Quasyoun (Kassioum). Here we climbed over a rail and scrambled down the side of the mountain. The path was steep with shifting rocks. Thomas was more confident than Clyde and I who were quite cautious on the decent (and ascent). The area is fairly trashed as the picnic crowd and restaurants at the top appear to throw trash down the slope and there are many trails made by people, feral cats and foxes. We found 6 plants, one with a developing fruit. The plants were crowded into small spaces between the boulders. A survey of the site would require rock-climbing gear but from our hunting the species appears very restricted and threatened. After climbing up we sat for some time looking out over the city before catching a taxi to town, arriving at our hotel in the early evening.
Ma'a salaama!

text: LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Medical equipment maker Natus Medical Inc. BABY, +0.33% warned on first-quarter profit and sales, citing delays from hospital spending on capital equipment. "We have been working on several large capital equipment orders that were expected to ship in the first quarter. While these orders were not placed, we believe that they have been pushed out to later in the year and not lost. The exact timing of these orders, however, remains uncertain," said CEO Jim Hawkins. It expects first-quarter earnings between 1 and 2 cents a share on sales between $32.5 million and $33.5 million. It previously forecast earnings between 6 and 8 cents a share on sales between $37 million and $38 million.

What do you do?
When It's Time to talk to Your Child about Salvation I thought that the day that my children were born would be the most important day of their lives. Now I realize that the most important day for them will be the day that they accept Jesus into their hearts as their personal Lord and Savior. Just remember that before you pray the salvation prayer with your child, you need to lay a foundation first. Talk about Jesus who He is, why He came to earth.

Impact of sewage sludge applications on the biogeochemistry of soilsTools Devaney, D., Godley, A. R., Hodson, M. E., Purdy, K. and Yamulki, S. (2008) Impact of sewage sludge applications on the biogeochemistry of soils. Water Science and Technology, 57 (4). pp. 513-518. ISSN 0273-1223 Full text not archived in this repository. To link to this item DOI: 10.2166/wst.2008.006 Abstract/SummaryThis report describes an investigation into the bioavailability and fate of trace metals and their subsequent impact on important soil microbiological functions such as nitrification, denitrification and methane oxidation in low and high Cu containing soils in the presence and absence of residual organic matter from sewage sludge additions made 10 years earlier. The soils being studied are part of long term sewage sludge trials and include a low Cu soil ( 13.3mg Cu/ kg soil, 4.18 LOI %), left un- amended to serve as a control soil, soil amended with a high Cu sewage sludge ( 278.3mg Cu/ kg soil, 6.52 LOI %) and soil amended with a low Cu sewage sludge ( 46.3mg Cu/ kg soil, 6.18 LOI %). Soil was also amended with inorganic metal salts ( 273.4mg Cu/ kg soil, 4.52 LOI %) to further investigate the impact of Cu in the absence of additional organic matter contained in applied sewage sludge. Data from the first two years of a project are presented which has included field- based studies at long term sewage sludge trials based in Watlington, Oxford, UK and laboratory based studies at the Institute of Grassland & Environmental Research, North Wyke, Devon, UK.

Incumbent: Mako Haggerty
Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly District 9 could be called the Alaska of assembly districts. Stretching from Gore Point to the northwest tip of Tustumena Lake and wrapping around Homer and Kachemak City, it includes the south shore communities of Kachemak Bay. In the 2009 election, water taxi owner and operator Mako Haggerty used his knowledge of the bay to boost him to the top of a three-candidate field. He's looking to do that again in a bid for re-election to a second three-year term. "There are areas of my district that I feel I'm in a unique position to better represent than other people, places like Nanwalek, Port Graham, and Halibut Cove, just because I spent a lot of time on Kachemak Bay," he said. "I have a working knowledge of their concerns and issues." Mako Haggerty
Residence: Homer Age: 58 Occupation: Owner and operator, Mako's Water Taxi Children: Max and Lance Haggerty, both grown Length of residency In Alaska: 30 years Education: one year of college Political and government experience: Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly member, 2009-present Business and professional positions: commercial fisherman Service organizations membership: former member KBBI Board of Directors, former member, Kachemak Bay Citizens Advisory Board Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Big as District 9 might be, it's also one of the more culturally mixed, and one of the few that includes towns not on the road system. "It's the most diverse," Haggerty said. "I'm happy that it's my district, because we've got the Russian villages, we've got Fritz Creek, Diamond Creek and all the communities across the bay." A 30-year lower peninsula resident, Haggerty has worked as a commercial fisherman and salmon tender and started and runs Mako's Water Taxi. He's raised two sons, twins Lance and Max, now grown and in their 20s. Before serving on the assembly, he volunteered for organizations like KBBI Public Radio, the Kachemak Bay State Park Citizens Advisory Board and Friends of Kachemak Bay State Park. Recently, Haggerty was active in the Sea Party and co-sponsored the citizen's initiative that put Measure 2, the Coastal Zone Management Plan, on the August primary ballot. While Ballot Measure 2 failed statewide, it had strong support in Homer voting precincts. Haggerty said he's running again to take advantage of what he learned in his first term. Understanding borough government takes a while, and with that knowledge he said he thinks he can better serve his district. "I felt like someone had put me through school," Haggerty said. "I kind of owe it to return." He points to anadromous stream habitat protection as one of his biggest accomplishments. With assembly member Bill Smith, who represents Homer and Kachemak City, Haggerty sponsored and the assembly approved protections for smaller salmon streams similar to those for the Kenai River. He said he understands why property owners might object to restrictions on creek side lands, seeing that as an infringement on private property rights. "I think people are in favor of protecting salmon streams. I don't think there's any question about that," Haggerty said. "Salmon is a public property. The water is a public property. It's where the two come together where that conflict arises." Stream protection is part of why he wants to serve another term, Haggerty said. "I think it's a living document," he said. "There are going to be adjustments and changes to it. It's something I'd like to be around for when those changes are made." Issues important to Haggerty are getting a fire station for the west side of the Kachemak Emergency Services area and dealing with solid waste. With the upcoming completion of the Homer transfer station, household waste will be trucked north to the central peninsula landfill. "I think we're going to have to take a second and long look at the way we deal with our solid waste around here," Haggerty said. "I think that waste stream can be greatly reduced greatly reduced." He suggested more emphasis and education on recycling. With a recent boom in salvage companies collecting scrap steel and old cars and storing it on the Homer Spit for eventual transport, Haggerty said he didn't see why that couldn't be done for other recyclable items like cardboard, glass and aluminum as scrap companies wait for markets to change. "If we have an area to store it or stash it, it may come to where it's a benefit to us," he said. Issues he hears from citizens include higher property taxes, roads and schools. Haggerty and his opponent, Anchor Point business owner Jesse Clutts, both have run a civil campaign. Haggerty said he doesn't know Clutts that well. The main difference might be in their knowledge of their local communities, he said. "We might be a little more aware of different areas within District 9," Haggerty said. "Jesse's probably a little bit more aware of what's happening up in the Anchor Point, North Fork, even Nikolaevsk area." One thing they do have in common is their desire to serve the lower peninsula, Haggerty said. "This is virtually a volunteer effort on both our parts," he said. "Anybody who steps up to the plate should be commended. I'm not looking for that for me, but definitely hand that to anybody who steps up." Michael Armstrong can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. I think we have a very workable system. Our taxes here are equitably distributed between property taxes and sales tax. Other boroughs in Alaska place, what I believe, is an undue burden on property owners by not enacting a sales tax. I would like to see a more fair and equitable distribution of some of the fees and taxes that the State collects and I would like to be able to fund some of the non-departmental services through other revenue sources.

"Because appliances and lighting have powerful connections with similar consumer bases, we believe they will now be able to grow more successfully together than either would on its own, ... We want to create a simpler, more efficient business that will be competitive across all product lines. By taking out administrative costs, we will be able to put that money back into investing in new technologies and building greater brand awareness."

This, being 2004, was one of the finest years for pop music I've ever witnessed, is the truth of the matter. The amount of solid-gold masterpieces popping up in the shelves of the CD emporiums was baffling. A year that sees not only the return of Morrissey and Prince, not only the hitherto unthinkable development that sees Har-Mar Superstar become as brilliant as he always assumed he was, but also the arrival of SMiLE by Brian Motherfucking Wilson.
Also, dig this; Commercial pop raised it's game so high that if you squint on a cloudless night you still can't see it, so far has it gone into the stratosphere. Natasha Bedingfield produced one of the most sublime pieces of three-minute gorgeousity of all ever in the truly outstanding These Words, and then Girls Aloud, a band created by a TV fucking talent show, managed to be as filthily infectious as Christina Aguillera.
Or, indeed, some virus of some kind.
What this all amounts to is that I have slept about two and a half hours in the last fortnight, so daunting was the prospect of assuming what might be "the best".
I still can't decide, so these here are in alphabetical order.
Enjoy them, friends. They rule like motherfuckers.
Ryan Adams – Love Is Hell
Love Is Hell was released as two mini-albums in 2003, a couple weeks after the brilliant, bafflingly under-rated Rock N' Roll. It was given a proper release this year, though, and is therefore eligible as a motherfucker.
What happened was the record company hated it. Where's the tunes, they asked? Right there, Ryan probably said, pointing at the tunes. It was too little, too late, though. Depressing they said. Miserable. Suicide music, is what you expect us to give to the kids, with their Limping Biscuits and Slippity Nots.
As if the whole Yankee Hotel Foxtrot debacle hadn't convinced the world that record companies didn't know their arseholes from someone else's elbow, this was just about all the proof we needed.
What Love Is Hell amounts to, is Adams' Blood On The Tracks, a melancholic, deeply pained series of dignified musings on lost love, and how hellish it all is. I just felt like pointing that out in case maybe you missed the title of the record.
In fact, it's Adams' second Gosh My Baby Done Me Bad album, and it's possibly even better than the first one, his mainly-acoustic debut, Heartbreaker.
I See Monsters is also the most beautiful fucking song I believe I have ever heard. "Baby I know you cannot hear me now, cause you're fast asleep, but I love you now", supposedly sung to a very close female acquaintance in the last stages of terminal illness. It makes me wanna beat him senseless with jealousy one minute, then have some kind of homosexual encounter the next. It's beyond shit like "good" or "brilliant" or "masterful". To paraphrase somebody or other, if the damn thing could be described with text on a damn screen, then the motherfucker wouldn't have needed to go singing it.
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – Lyre Of Orpheus / Abattoir Blues
When I put this in the player, it knocked me half-way across the damn room. What The Duke would suggest, is to start with Abattoir Blues. The deranged evangelical zeal of Get Ready For Love smacks the listener upside the face the second it starts, and proceeds to jump up and down on said individual, smacking the head with the force of twenty-seven tonnes of granite. Although, granted, twenty-seven tonnes of anything would do the same trick.
Granite just seems that bit more appropriate.
These two-albums-as-one have not one solitary below-par track between them, lurching from ecstatic delirium to swampy, croaking, sinister threats with nary a thought for one's emotions.
Two masterpieces, man. That's more than, say, John Lennon managed this year. For shame, John Lennon.

Dizzee Rascal – Showtime
Let The Duke be the first to admit this shit right here; If you were to tell me, say five years ago, that five years in the future-time, not only would there be no terminators yet, but also, the three best hip-hop records of the year would be UK in origin, I would've laughed in your face, phoned the police, and hid under a shed until you were locked up with both feet tied behind your head.
No motherfucker could've seen this coming. Not even Nostradamus, although, granted, he figured the world would've ended by now, if those web-sites are to be trusted.
Maybe he just concocted that shit on account of it was more believable than the three best hip-hop records of the year being British.
"Go screw yourself Nostradamus. Fire and death and Nazi's we can accept, but British hip-hop that's worth a damn? What kind of prophet are you, anyhow? Some demented fucking variant, that's what I'm starting to assume. Why can't you be more like Joseph?"
And so on and so forth.
Truth be told, like a few of the records on this list, Showtime didn't strike me upside the teeth like I had expected on first listening. It was fantastic, of that much we could be sure, but it didn't seem just as fantastic as the stunning predecessor, Boy In Da Corner. The more it span round in the old CD player, though, the more alive the thing became, and what had initially seemed a somewhat dour affair ascended hitherto undetected heights.
And that voice, man. That piercing yelp penetrating even the densest of Rascal's self-produced soundscapes. It's enough to make a man boil with rage. I mean come the hell on, the fella's only 20 years old!
Drive By Truckers – Dirty South
I've loved these maniacs since back when they sang about The night GG Allin Came To Town, but with this here they truly out-did themselves. A series of vignettes dealing with numerous aspects of life in Tha South, this was the alt. country equivalent of 2003's stunning Deliverance by Bubba Sparxx.
If there's a more beautiful song about tornadoes than Tornadoes, then I've yet to hear the allusive motherfucker.
Green Day – American Idiot
For some reason everybody got all surprised when Green Day shoved yet another masterpiece into their ungrateful fists. The Duke experienced not shock, however, but relief. I knew these motherfuckers were capable of this kinda wonder. Anybody who's trailed them from Smoothed Out knows full well that the derision utilized by the press when discussing them was always woefully off-the-mark.
9 minutes of Jesus Of Suburbia later, however, and the world wakes up. Now go get your filthy hides in the direction of Insomniac, would you ever?

Har Mar Superstar – The Handler
Who'd a thought a fella who bears such resemblance to both Frodo Baggins and Ron Jeremy would be producing the funkiest record of the year? A record that out-Princes even Prince. What the hell has the world come to? Har Mar Superstar looks like he should be flinging jewelry into volcanoes, not producing solid gold wonders like this right here. Who the hell does he think he is?
The God of all funk, is who he thinks he is, and the worrying thing is that, pretty much, he's right. Bow down to him and fling your underwear at his balding skull, is what The Duke suggests.
Step out my damn way, James Brown, is what Har Mar has to say about the funk hierarchy. Y'all better be getting me a motherfucking throne, is what. Get up off that thing is right. Get off it and fuck off. It's the Har-Mar buttocks that'll be gracing that plateau from now the hell on.
The tunes on this thing are enough to level those council estates Skinnyman's so damn obsessed with. D.U.I, Transit, Alone Again (Naturally), the damn thing never pauses for to even think about maybe taking a breath one day. It sounds alive, dripping with the oils of sun-kissed drunkards.
Enough to make a man tear his hair out and gain four stone, is what, in the hope that maybe an ounce of that genius is cosmetic.

Kasabian – Kasabian
So what happened was The Beta Band broke everybody's blood-pump into messy, gore-strewn tatters when they announced that sorry, folks, we're a bunch a hippies and we can't be bothered making no more records. In addition, Oasis seem to have been recording the same damn album for the past two years, going through producers like nobody's business.
Imagine the hurrahs emanating from Mondo Towers, then, when these bunch a motherfuckers by the name of Kasabian release a record that sounds like nothing less than Oasis jamming with The Beta Band, with maybe a few of those Stone Roses wandering in and out the studio for to lay down some phat shit now and again.
Psychedelic without resorting to prog-rock wank, Kasabian also managed to invoke the spirit of the much-missed Verve, except without the more obscenely "trippy" dalliances. Shit like Processed Beats and Club Foot sounded phenomenal, and merged dance music with rock as seamlessly as those Happy Mondays cats, when they could be dragged away from the pipe for five minutes.
Libertines – Libertines
As if The Duke hasn't waxed enough about how these fellas are just about the finest thing since sliced bread plugged in a Strat way back when, here they are again, producing a fragile, raw, achingly tender masterpiece. Some folks wanna yack about "It isn't as good as the first one… it doesn't have any tunes… fucking blah blah blah". It's a bit like comparing In Utero to Nevermind, is what, and just like Nirvana's last "proper" release, The Libertines is a seriously misunderstood piece of work.
Also, it's a masterpiece. That right there's another link we can draw, another parallel. Something else for to join up with chalk.
"It's all about drugs and about how the one who sings sometimes hates the bollocks off of the one who sings the other times and so on and so forth."
Such bantering is to ignore the fact that most of these songs actually pre-date the debut, and whilst a buncha them (notably Music When The Lights Go Out) are granted a certain poignancy in light of recent events, to assume that this speaks to no-one outside of The Libertines immediate circle of Bohemian acquaintances, is to go so far past the point that probably you're staring at its arse.
Mick Jones has captured a band on the brink of (hopefully short-term) implosion, has committed to wax (or shiny stuff, in this age of your Compact CD's and what the hell) recordings of such vitality, such urgency, and such motherfucking beauty, that it almost feels wrong to be listening to it with anything so mundane as ears.
Of course, it was wrong, if by chance you were one of those peg-legged sons a bitches who grabbed it off of the web-net a fortnight before release.
Shame on you, is what. Tuts in abundance, man.

Loretta Lynn – Van Lear Rose
I didn't know what to expect when Loretta Lynn announced she was teaming up with Jack White of The Von Bondies or The Strokes or some "hip" band or other. I would've put down a load of the green, though, for to bet that it was gonna be a stark American Recordings-style affair.
Instead, what arrives is an unearthly, ethereal creation, a record that sounds like pretty much nothing else this year, certainly nothing else in Lynn's back catalogue, and filled with the finest songs she's written since back when some motherfucker tried to put her wings upon his horn.
Stand out moments include the opening title track, the stunning debut with White, Portland Oregon and the densely atmospheric Women's Prison.
Jesse Malin – The Heat
Malin's debut, The Fine Art Of Self-Destruction, was a ragged, torn affair, with the ex-D-Generation frontman's wailing Neil Young-esque vocals high in the mix. Taking over from Ryan Adams, who produced the first record, the self-produced follow-up was a much more cinematic affair.
On first listen, it appeared somewhat of a disappointment. Couple spins later, however, I was in love with this to such an extent that even the hole in the CD started to look attractive.
I'm not proud of this shit, man. I just hope others can learn, is what.
So what we get here are amazing, soaring ballads and hard-luck narratives swamped in reverb-laden, otherworldly arrangements and balls-out, pounding rock n' roll.
Also, Mona Lisa name-checks Shane MacGowan, so obviously it rules.

Morrissey – You Are The Quarry
Comeback Of The Year #1
To be all the honest in Kansas, I didn't for a second imagine that Stephen Patrick would release a record this year. All that fucking around with record companies and hiding in LA and doing not much of a damn thing seemed to suggest that, flawed as Maladjusted may have been, we may as well start assuming it'd be the last we'd hear of Morrissey for a long, long time.
Imagine the motherfucking shock, then, when not only does this record arrive, but it ends up being one of the finest things the man has ever crafted. Not only this, but it sparks a full-blown renaissance, with even the NME (who famously fell out with our bequiffed hero back when he was busy flailing Union Jacks about without having the decency to wait until Oasis were doing it) getting down for to lick his boots and so on in a celibate, plutonic manner.
The tunes contained in this thing are enough to have a fella buzzing like a telly too close to a mobile. Certainly the lyrics are occasionally clumsy, but even the senseless nostalgia of, say, Come Back To Camden is granted a sweeping majesty by the jaw-dropping arrangements, the life-affirming melodies.
Too many gorgeous moments to even begin singling any out, so best just to announce something along the lines of how I Have Forgiven Jesus and Let Me Kiss You are two of the finest songs of the past five years.

Prince – Musicology
Comeback Of The Year #2
There was a lot of buzz and general hoopla surrounding the release of this record, all about how Prince had "returned to form", i.e., managed to string a coherent melody together in under three minutes for the most part. It's the most commercial thing he's done in a decade, but sod that if the tunes had sucked. Thank God, though, they're catchy as that hospital virus everyone's washing their hands fleshless over, although much nicer to have around.
No doubt he just felt like showing those young pretenders like Outkast and that Timberlake goon how a man needs to go about shaking his ass with authority.
Selfish Cunt – No Wicked Heart Shall Prosper
With a name like that, it was pretty obvious that Ryan Adams-esque laments were never on the cards. Who'd have guessed their version of Bobby Brown's My Prerogative would be so thrilling, though?
Fuck you Britney Spears, is what Selfish Cunt would like to announce.
The original material surrounding this most left-field of covers was equally stunning. By terms terrifying and exhilarating, Selfish Cunt channel the spirits of The Fall and P.I.L with nothing more than detuned guitar, a frantic drum machine and Martin Tomlinson's sneering, antagonistic vocals.
The opening Corporate Slut sounds like a motherfucking riot, and if you thought shit like Fuck The Poor, Britain Is Shit and Authority Confrontation were gonna lessen the pace any, you better get the old brains looked at, since they're obviously screwed to the guts.

William Shatner – Has Been
I still can't believe this shit, is what. Look. It's a Best Of 2004 list, and there's William Motherfucking Shatner sitting alongside the likes of Loretta Lynn and Selfish Cunt.
Incidentally, that'd be just about the best dinner-party a man could ever hope to gate-crash.
This shit here is so far-fetched that if it was the plot of one of the sonna bitches telly shows about space you'd fling a remote at the screen. Distant civilizations I can buy, Shatner, but you doing a credible Common People? Get the fuck off my television.
Funny, humane, witty, cool as all frozen Nebraska, and genuinely unique, in an era when folks wanna complain about "I want something different", and then when they get it, they ignore it, on account of I think Simon Cowell's produced another record about "baby".

Skinnyman – Council Estate Of Mind
Well this was a pleasant surprise, is what. Although Skinnyman had been doin' the hip-hop thang for next to forever, this was as much as The Duke had heard of him;
This right here, though, his debut record proper, was nothing short of stunning. Inter-cutting the tracks with lengthy speeches from Alan Clarke's Made In Britain, Council Estate Of Mind seems less of an album than an impassioned address to Britain's working class youth.
Lofty and pretentious that might seem, but it works, and works in a way folks hadn't heard since back when Billy Bragg first plugged the hell in for to sing about "When one voice rules the nation…" and so on.
He talks about other things, too, like the music business, for example. The bile evident in Fuck The Hook is enough to have a man's home smelling of pure orange juice for weeks.
Todd Snider – East Nashville Skyline
The Duke has been singing the praises of this fella over on The Mondo MP3 Digest for some time now, and with good reason, is what. East Nashivlle Skyline sounds like Another Side Of… era Bob Dylan, a playful set of mostly acoustic based songs, dealing with both the political and the personal.
Every damn track is a winner, from the opening Age Like Wine (concerning a rock star who's "Too old to die young, now") through Alcohol And Pills (detailing the addictions of Hank Williams Snr. And Elvis Presley, amongst others), the brilliant Conservative Christian, Right-Wing Republican, Straight White American Males (about how the folks of the title detest "tree-huggin, peace-loving, pot-smoking, porn-watching lazy ass hippies like me") to the closing rendition of Enjoy Yourself, East Nashville Skyline has a fella smiling like a goon one minute, then angry as all fuck the next.
A startling piece of work.
If you hurry, you can hear Conservative Christian… at the MP3 Digest before it goes off next week.
The Streets – A Grand Don't Come For Free
Just edging out Skinnyman and Dizzee, Mike Skinner offered us mere wretches the finest hip-hop record of 2004. A concept album, would you believe, full of the kindsa minute observations worthy of the finest of stand-up comedians.
Chorus of the year;
"I saw this thing on ITV the other week,
Said that if she plays with her hair she's prob'ly keen,
She's playing with her hair well regularly,
So I reckon I could well be in."
Not for Skinner the bling nor the bravado nor the rat-a-tat-tat. Whilst So Solid Crew were squandering their potential by indulging in the kinda uber-macho gang squabbling that so blighted US hip-hop eventually, The Streets were producing records that folks could actually relate to.
When you live in a council estate in The County Antrim, you don't see many drive-by's. There ain't many "turf-wars" going on in the back field.
"Dry your eyes, mate. I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts, but you've got to walk away now, it's over…" That was shit a man could nod knowingly to, and then cry over for much of the friggin weekend.
Brian Wilson – SMiLE
Comeback Of The Year #3 – Album Variant
I don't even know what to say about this, man. It's a soul-scarring experience. The sound of a fella going so far over the edge that it takes him thirty years to crawl back and assess the results.
A hymn to some mythical American landscape, a "teenage symphony to God", a heart-breaking masterpiece.
It's not that often you wanna hug a record. If it gets you in the right mood, this thing will reach into your motherfucking being and touch your spirit.
Also, goes someway towards redressing the shameful lack of bovine in pop music.
Well, that's your lot folks. Between now and sometime later, tracks from these records will be peppering The Mondo MP3 Digest, so go have a look, have a listen, and then buy the motherfuckers.
Thanks folks.
The Duke resides at Mondo Irlando

BOSTON, U.S.A. – Shameful. Just absolutely shameful.
One blockhead here on the same site in which I blog actually wrote, before the election, that liberals needed to get even with conservatives because the latter accused the former of being unpatriotic. Well, gee, I wonder how we got that idea?
Let me give you a clue: If you profess to love your country, you don't ever – EVER – burn its flag nor disgrace it in any way! Is that clear enough for you crybabies?
Yet, burning the American flag is exactly what anti-Bush protestors did during the inaugural parade.
The burning of the flag by American citizens is not freedom of speech – it is treason, and should be seriously treated as such. The military burns flags for disposal purposes, but that is the only instance in which a flag should ever be burned.
This reminds me of the protests in London during President Bush's visit to Britain in November 2003. The protest leaders – most of them associated with the pathetic, Stalin-worshipping, Osama-excusing Stop the War (consider that they formed only nine days after September 11) – assured everyone, oh no, this won't be an anti-American protest. We've nothing against Americans. This is a protest against Bush only. And how did the Great Unwashed finish their protest rally in Trafalgar Square? That's right – they burned an American flag. So much for being free of anti-Americanism.
Considering that the "Americans" protesting against Bush during his rightful inauguration have so much more in common with the likes of the socialists of Stop the War than your average, income-earning citizen, it's hardly a surprise, but it makes for a sickening display of unpatriotic sentiment all the same. Bush is our President! If you disgrace the office of the presidency, you disgrace America. Like, oh, what's his name? Begins with a C … you know, the guy during whose reign true patriots, as Bush referred to in his inauguration speech, "took a sabbatical?"
But we won't mention that, shall we? No, sexual shenanigans being performed in the Oval Office while Al-Qaeda makes their plans to humiliate America via 9/11 doesn't constitute a crime. But Bush's total transformation of Afghanistan and his efforts to transform Iraq in much the same vein does? Oh please, stop the world, I want to get off!
Bush gave a great inaugural speech today. It was a total affirmation of the President's beliefs in international democracy, in freedom, in liberty. As he said, you cannot have faith in your own democracy while others across the world are crying for theirs.
And do these Lefties ever consider what a gentleman Dubya really is at heart? Richard Nixon hated his enemies and had a vindictive nature, so the vitriol aimed at him was understandable (if warped). But when asked about the protestors saying that he should be impeached and jailed for war crimes, Bush simply smiles and says, "Ain't democracy a wonderful thing?" He smiles and waves at them all the same. He doesn't harbor even a lousy ounce of hatred toward his detractors as they have in great tidal waves for him.
God bless you, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condolezza Rice, et al. Do America right and proud.
At the end of the day, I suppose the ultimate punishment for these Canuckistani wannabes is simply this: FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!
Go get 'em, Mr. President!
