Justin Timberlake was already pop royalty six months ago when he released "The 20/20 Experience," his first solo album since 2006 and the anchor for one of the most sustained promotional campaigns in recent memory.
But that was before the record sold more than 2 million copies, more than any other this year, and before Timberlake played a string of sold-out stadium shows with Jay Z. And it was before Timberlake reenergized his loyal subjects by revealing that "20/20" was only the first half of a two-part project — yet another reason he fairly proclaimed himself "the king" onstage at this month's iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.
You can hear His Majesty exercising that authority on "The 20/20 Experience — 2 of 2," a 12-song sequel due Monday that comes on stronger than its ingratiating predecessor.
Where the initial "20/20" carried a suave, gentlemanly vibe — one reflected in the classic tuxedos Timberlake wore during appearances on the Grammy Awards, "Saturday Night Live" and in at least one Target commercial — the new set aims for something darker and dirtier.
Performing last week outdoors on Hollywood Boulevard (in a concert arranged for "Jimmy Kimmel Live," the singer didn't even bother with a tie.
"Can we discuss how fast you just got undressed?" Timberlake asks a lover in "Cabaret," a percolating bedroom jam that depicts sex as a form of at-home theater. Over sampled wolf howls in the itchy "True Blood," he tips his porkpie hat to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" with an extended babe-as-demon metaphor: "Her skin was white, so white/ Look like it had no expiration date."
Later, he likens a woman to a championship boxer in "TKO," only to switch to a stone-cold killer for "Murder"; neither seems like the type given to chewing "Strawberry Bubblegum," as one comparatively demure song from the first "20/20" was titled.
Timberlake isn't the only one trying to sharpen his edge. His producing partner Timbaland's beats are weirder and more playful than they were last time, as in the cyborg-funk opener, "Gimme What I Don't Know (I Want)," and especially "Murder," a bhangra-inflected track that echoes his groundbreaking work in "Get Ur Freak On" by Missy Elliott.
"Take Back the Night," the disc's handsome but inert lead single, is an exception. And, as on Part 1, some songs go on for too long — including "Amnesia," whose beginning you may well have forgotten by the time you finally get to the end.
But those longueurs are offset by "Drink You Away," a potent electro-blues cut, and by Drake's frisky guest verse in "Cabaret," where the rapper takes the sex talk to a level that Timberlake the boy-band veteran still can't. (Jay Z appears on "2 of 2" as well, musing on Yoko Ono's feminine wiles in "Murder.")
Beyond the muscle-flexing it seems to represent, Timberlake's bluster might be his solution to the problem of Robin Thicke, whose ascent over the summer with the proudly raunchy "Blurred Lines" threatened to make Timberlake look like a genteel (pocket) square.
"I burn it down all the way," he yowls in "Only When I Walk Away," doing his best to start a fire. "Burn it down till there ain't no more."
Yet for all his newfound machismo, Timberlake — who heads out on tour again next month — is actually most convincing here at his softest, reaching back in a handful of songs to before the first "20/20 Experience."
"Not a Bad Thing" is a dewy, blue-eyed soul number that sounds like it could've come from the final 'N Sync album, when Timberlake was discovering the emotional possibilities of his singing. "You Got It On" layers Smokey Robinson-style falsetto over a shimmering quiet-storm groove.
And "Pair of Wings," an unlisted acoustic track, closes the disc with a lovely (and unexpected) flash of modesty: "I know I can't save you from the troubles of the world," Timberlake sings in a near-whisper. "But if I could I'd fly you away on a big old pair of wings."
Perhaps the sign of true power is knowing when not to use it.

Loyola University Maryland's Cafeteria Flexible Benefits Program (flex plan) allows you to choose the combination of benefits that meets your personal needs. Participation in both core and elective benefits begins the first of the month following the date of hire or date of eligibility. If your effective date of employment is on the first of the month your benefits will be effective on that date (e.g. if you begin employment on Feb. 1, your benefits will begin on Feb. 1).
The University provides flex credits to assist employees with the purchase of their benefits. Regular full-time, core, or four-fifths employees receive base flex credits of $1,000. Regular full-time or core employees who are members of the Order of the Society of Jesus or the Order of the Religious Sisters of Mercy receive base flex credits of $850. Regular half-time staff and administrators receive base flex credits of $500. In addition to the base flex credits, the University provides eligible employees with additional credits after six years of service.

Just listening to Cerys on 6 Music at the moment and expect I'm not alone amongst forumistas in doing so. She's good, maybe the best we've got right now.
I also regularly enjoy Radio 3's World on Three and Late Junction (especially when Max Reinhardt's hosting), David Rodigan's "real authentic reggae" programme on 1xtra and Giles Peterson's Worldwide and Don Lett's Culture Clash Radio on 6 Music. As well as SOAS radio's Wednesday afternoon broadcasts (DJ Ritu, Madeira Verde, Russ Jones and Cal Tjader) and Ian Anderson's fRoots Radio podcast.
There are also programmes that I sometimes give a listen to for the music, in spite of finding the presenter's style grating (Huey Morgan, Craig Charles)
Do other forumistas still have music programmes they regularly listen to? And if so, how do you listen? I'm increasingly going to i-Player and the like (i often use Cerys' programme as a pick- me-up in the office on a Monday morning). That said, I've got a digital radio on my bedside table and love letting it soundtrack whatever I'm reading at night.
I mainly listen to discover new music and tend to get a bit restless when, for example, Cerys plays too much familiar stuff. Generally preferring to be surprised and delighted by what I hear, rather than reassured. Am I alone in this?
So who else is listening to what when it comes to music radio right now?

Van Halen 'Babysitter' Recalls His Years With the Band
Few people are likely to argue that the '70s and '80s were a time of excess if you were a part of a band on tour. And though we are confident that excess still exists in various forms today, any hi-jinx that bands get up to these days probably pale in comparison to what Ted Cohen has seen courtesy of Van Halen.
Now retired, Cohen was a Warner Music Group staffer, sharing private jets with Fleetwood Mac, having Prince drop by his house and serving as first-hand witness to the break-up of the Sex Pistols.
In a recent interview with the LA Weekly, Cohen details his experiences of being a glorified babysitter to Van Halen when they were first starting out. Eager to test the meddle of Cohen, the young Van Halen group burst into his hotel room in Madison, Wi. on the first night of their world tour and promptly decided that the room's furniture looked better on the street below than it did in the hotel room.
Cohen would spend much time with Van Halen during their meteoric rise to fame. His interview is a revealing one, detailing, among other things, Eddie Van Halen's hesitancy about having Valerie Bertinelli as well as his perception that Bertinelli "believed Eddie Van Halen should receive the lion's share of the credit for the band's triumphs, whereas Roth was essentially expendable."
Cohen however shares a much different view of Roth's role within the band, stating "David was an integral part of the band's success. He was brilliant."
Cohen's interview with LA Weekly is in advance of Van Halen's Staples Center shows on June 1 and June 9.

In January, the month of new beginnings, two types of television ads are inevitable: weight loss come-ons and for-profit colleges promising shortcuts to a better life.
In January, the month of new beginnings, two types of television ads are inevitable: weight loss come-ons and for-profit colleges promising shortcuts to a better life.
Weight loss programs can sometimes help you shed pounds. The for-profit colleges almost always help you shed money. And not just students' money, but taxpayers' money too.
That's why a report out this week from the Legislative Analyst's Office offers encouraging news about new rules for the state's Cal Grant program.
The new rules have disqualified 80 percent of the state's for-profit colleges - 154 in all - from the financial aid program.
And what are the egregious rules that have pushed these schools away from the public trough?
Schools now must show a graduation rate of at least 30 percent and a loan default rate of less than 15.5 percent to participate in the Cal Grant program. The rule change will save the state an estimated $50 million this year.
To be sure, some students will be locked out of colleges in the short term. But, and let's not mince words, some of the colleges they are now locked out of weren't so much colleges as profit mills. Education and student needs, if they were concerns at all, were secondary to the bottom line.
The truth is there is no shortcut to a better life through education. A good education requires time, energy and effort. Lots of effort. And money. Higher education isn't cheap.
The idea behind the rule change is to steer students toward better schools and to get more for each tax dollar invested.
Few people are against investing in education, but nobody is for wasting money in education.
The rules affected postsecondary institutions with at least 40 percent of students receiving federal aid. That largely eliminated community colleges, public universities and most private, nonprofit colleges, and left many for-profit trade and technical schools.
Of Cal Grant participating institutions, 35 percent of schools are now ineligible, including 80 percent of for-profits, the report stated.
Cal Grants are a way for taxpayers to tell young people or those seeking training to change careers that we believe in them.
The new rules tell them we believe they should not waste their time and our money on a poor education.

This wiki is here to provide information on exactly how I build snowboards so that other may learn from it. The information here is based upon my experience building boards for Happy Monkey Snowboards, Inc. from '03-'10 as well as my continued personal building.
This will not be a comprehensive treatment of all the different ways to accomplish these tasks, but rather just the ways that I have personally done it that have yielded success. For alternatives to these techniques see Skibuilders.com and GrafSnowboards.com, where they have collected detailed how-to's on how they and others build boards, and have extensive and active forums with even more information on alternatives.
The following pages provide overviews of various parts of the process, with links to other pages.
- Construction Overview – the steps in building a snowboard assuming you have all the equipment and materials.
- Equipment Overview – the machines needed to build a snowboard.
- Materials Overview -- the materials needed to build a snowboard.
- MonkeyWiki:About – purpose of this site, how to ask questions, and how to contribute.
The articles in this wiki are (or will be soon!) heavily categorized. The page Special:Categories lists all categories and is an alternative way to browse thru the content on this site.
What about skis?
I've only built snowboards, but you'll find that ski and snowboard construction are amazingly similar. You can use all of the information here to build either, even though it all refers to snowboards. It's okay :)
There are a lot of placeholders, but otherwise the articles that are here now are technically correct and up-to-date. The only exception would be articles in Category:Not Ready. Take them with a grain of salt.
Any articles in Category:Needs Editing just need edits for grammar and readibility.

His new Unreleased Dragon Soul Cinematic is no different. Wowcrendor revisits the final cinematic in Dragon Soul, in which the dragon aspects chat about their new mortal lives. We even get an arrow-to-the-knee rebuttal, killing a joke that very badly need killing. I can't help but feel this is a more realistic conversation between the dragons than the one we actually got. After all, who wants to spontaneously be made mortal? Bring on the Age of Pandas!

Carbon fiber is today's wonder material, lighter and stronger than its equivalent in metal or fiberglass. It's no surprise that this expensive, complex substance is extensively used in race cars and ultra-performance sports cars. Lamborghini uses carbon fiber to keep the weight of its all-wheel drive, 561hp V-10-powered Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera down to a comparably featherweight 2,954 pounds, and the Murciélago's body is also carbon fiber-intense.
To continue to advance their understanding and use of this material, Lamborghini has set up a new Advanced Composites Research Center (ACRC) at its Sant'Agata Bolognese headquarters. This Center has two facilities and employs 30 engineers and technicians who will build prototypes and associated tools, as well as to carry out crash tests on complex carbon fiber structures and to develop optimized production technologies, such as Resin Transfer Molding.
"The consistent development of carbon-fiber technology is a key element of our strategy," says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. "The most important parameter for super sports cars is, now as in the future, the weight-to-power ratio; therefore, as there is a limit to power increase due to emission regulations, we must work on weight reduction. Extensive use of carbon fiber, even at structural level, allows Lamborghini to be at the forefront of development techniques. The real difference is in the correct use of technologies and materials to satisfy technical and financial concerns. This is what the Center is all about."

Capolino Moves Into The Lead With One Day To Go Euros
1 September 2013
Porto Rotondo, Italy - More unstable air at the 2013 Audi Melges 20 European Championship did not allow for the smoothest of racing conditions on day three in Porto Rotondo. After Friday's complete void of racing, the Race Committee was met with more light and shifty breeze allowing for only two more races. An attempt was made to complete Race Six in a Series of ten, but it just simply wasn't meant to be.
With five races on the board, a change of leadership has taken place with Giancarlo Capolino's Legionario grabbing the lead from now second overall Michael Kiss on Bacio. Capolino and Kiss have made it official that they are the teams to beat, separating themselves some fourteen points ahead of the rest of the fleet. Only one point separates these top two competitors, and Sunday's final heats will present the ultimate showdown.
Marco Franchini on Mezza Luna and Russ Lucas on Shimmer have a strong battle of their own going for third and fourth respectively. Formerly in twelfth place overall, Davide Albertini Petroni on Leviathan made great strides as he was the only other team other than Capolino and Kiss to submit a single-digit scoreline, moving him up to and into fifth place.
The final races will complete on Sunday, and conclude with the first crowning ever of an Audi Melges 20 European Champion. Stay tuned as anything could happen. As many as four races may be conducted, however the time limit has been set at mid-afternoon. Videos from the race course, photos and instant results are posted online at the Official Facebook Page of the Audi Melges 20 as they happen. Join the class online as the European Championship racing concludes!
The final event of the 2013 Audi Melges 20 Sailing Series is organized by B-Plan Sport&Events in full collaboration with the International Audi Melges 20 Class Association and Melges Europe.

Where To Find
03 June 2011
I had the good fortune to meet a new vendor at Saturday Market a couple weeks ago. Trent at
Rhythmic Metal
makes some sweet buckles, and other metal art. He's got some bike themed ones, buckles made entirely of chain and cogs, and some other neat looking designs. Check out his
Etsy shop
or find him at the Saturday Market.
Our stuff works together well, and we've been lucky enough to set up next to each other at the market a couple times. The sum is greater than the parts!

The biggest body issue for many women is the 'mummy tummy' that just won't go away, no matter how many boot camp sessions, crunches and planks they do.
In more than a decade as a pre/postnatal exercise specialist, I have worked with thousands of women to restore their stomach and pelvic floor, find their lost waistline, and a little bit of lost mojo.
To heal and flatten a tummy that has carried and birthed a baby - however long ago - requires you to build the foundations before any 'shred', 'blast', crunch or plank is going to touch that pooch tummy. It requires understanding and focus first, before strengthening and toning will
have any impact.
A number of factors could be preventing you from achieving flat abs - here's a few likely culprits - and what you should do instead!
1. Crunches or sit-ups will make your stomach bulge and your core weaker.
Why? Because a crunch exerts pressure inside your abdominal cavity that encourages your 'six-pack' muscles to separate (diastasis recti) your core muscles to strain outwards, and your pelvic floor downwards. If your abs bulge outwards during any exercise - then the exercise isn't working.
What works instead? Using your deep core muscles effectively in whole body, weight bearing movements like squats and lifts, means your core does its job correctly, stabilising and bracing your body and in turn building stronger abs. Hardcore ab moves that promise to 'shred' and 'rip' and 'blast'... will flatten a strong, stable optimally functioning core. But if you don't have that to start with, (which most mums don't) they won't help. You need to build the core first.
2. Endless repetitions of ab exercises won't melt away belly fat
Why? Because muscle and fat are two separate types of tissue - one doesn't turn into the other and you can't spot reduce fat by focusing on one area. You may be building strong abdominal muscles - but you won't see them because there is fat on top!
What works instead? Your food choices determine fat loss, not the ab exercise you do. Balancing hormones, reducing stress and exercising smarter will reduce belly fat storage. Eliminate sugar and refined grains as much as possible from your diet. Vegetables should make up the biggest portion on your plate, followed by protein, with the smallest amount being starches. Increase your intake of essential fats, reduce stress and get more sleep. Exercise at high intensity and include resistance exercises like squats, push-ups or pull-ups.
These lifestyle factors will have an infinitely bigger effect on the fat around your tummy than any ab exercise will!
3. Going thorough the motions at Pilates class or sucking in your stomach does not constitute 'working your core'
Why? Because sucking in your stomach simply displaces pressure and mass - it doesn't work your muscles. Excessive pressure inside your abdominal cavity is the root cause of diastasis recti, weak core and pelvic floor muscles, even hernia and prolapse. If your shoulders are hunching or tensing, if your chest thrusts, if your butt tucks under, then your vital core muscles simply aren't working.
What Works Instead?You need to connect with, and train your muscles, before you can strengthen them. Very often after childbirth (and long afterwards) there is a 'disconnect' for women, as the brain sends signals to the deep muscles of the abdomen and pelvis. By focusing on re-connecting through breathing techniques, adjusting your pelvic alignment to relieve pressure, strengthening glutes and working your core as an entire system of muscles to stabilise you, you can re-establish a functioning core.
When you have found and trained your core, then you can strengthen your core!
I created the MuTu® System programs to help women achieve the post-baby stomach and body they're after. It's the step-by-step, need-to-know, approved by pelvic health physiotherapists and created by a specialist and mum who's done it.

Here's a brand new Dark Roasted Blend piece on huge musical instruments: magnificent pipe organs
The jokes pretty much write themselves: 'organ,' 'blowing pipes,' 'wind,' etc., etc., so on, so forth …. But the giggling stops when you start to investigate the history, science, and simple magnificence that has gone into the creation of some of the world's most incredible pipe organs.
As with a lot of important technological – as well as artistic – achievements, trying to determine who made the first one of these things is a bit fuzzy. Some experts give the ancient Greeks most of the credit – specifically the genius Ctesibius of Alexandria. Those early Greek organs were simplistic compared to the height of organ science … stop giggling … but the basic principle is still the same: force air through a pipe and you get sound. Make the pipe smaller, tighter, and the note that comes out is higher. Make the pipe larger, wider, and the note that comes out is lower.
What's interesting is that portable organs were not just created but common in certain parts of Europe during the Middle Ages. They were probably about as mechanically simple as Ctesibius's early invention, but it's still remarkable that the technology was there and transportable by horse and wagon.
But when you want to talk about big organs … I asked you to stop giggling … you have to talk about the permanently installed ones.
As with astronomical clocks, large organs quickly became the blockbusters of their time. If yours was a town of any notoriety then you pretty much had to have one – the bigger the better. The fact that they were used by churches, like the aforementioned fancy clocks, couldn't hurt either, as they had the deep pockets to afford them.
Here's another bunch of interesting organ facts … what are you? 12? … the organ created for Halberstadt, Germany was a monster for its time. Its bellows had to be worked ceaselessly by ten men – who were, no doubt, music fans. The technology is impressive today, and was simply astounding when it was created in (ready for this?) 1361.
Because the technology of a pipe organ is relatively simple, making them bigger was pretty much a matter of just scaling them up: bigger pipes, bigger air supplies, etc. While there were a lot of monster organs … now you're just embarrassing yourselves … there are some that took the musical instrument from noteworthy to astounding.
One of the largest is still played today: created in 1911, the Kotzschmar Memorial Organ in Portland, Maine, is a beautiful piece of engineering as well as musical artistry. Although much of its technology is hidden – which is often the case with organs – what is visible is simultaneously elegant and powerful, which also perfectly defines the music of its haunting notes.
Another great organ … are you finished? … can also still be heard. Created in 1904 for the St Louis World's Fair, the Wanamaker Grand Court Organ in Philadelphia is a monster among monsters. Everything about the instrument looks like it was designed not just to make sound but a LOT of VERY BIG sounds: it has not one, not two … but, to get to the point, 28,482 pipes set in 461 rows. Its keyboard looks more like something used to launch a space shuttle rather than create music. But the organ definitely creates music – on a scale commensurate with its standing as the second largest pipe organ in the world.
Okay, get your giggles, guffaws and chortles out of the way. You ready to hear about the world's largest organ? Unfortunately – as with a lot of big organ claims -- you're likely to be disappointed.
Next time you're in Atlantic City, swing on by and check it out in the Boardwalk Hall. Built in 1932, the organ makes that beast in Philadelphia look like a sickly kitten. While the Wannamaker Organ boasts those 28,482 pipes, the Boardwalk Hall organ has – ready for this? – about 33,000 pipes. I say 'about' because even the owner/operators of the machine aren't sure. Even the engineering for the organ looks like something that might have been built to power the Muzak in the Tower of Babylon elevators.
The Boardwalk organ holds a total of three Guinness World Records: largest pipe organ in the world, largest musical instrument, and – it must have been a literal blast to have been there when this was set – the loudest musical instrument ever constructed. When asked how he felt about winning this last award, the keyboardist was heard, barely, to answer "what?"
Alas, the organ remains … you were waiting for me to make another joke, weren't you? Well, I would if we weren't talking about such a legendary musical instrument. The Boardwalk organ, alas, is largely silent: having been damaged by weather, water, budget cuts, and poor attempts at repair, it can still be heard but at only a fraction of its true potential and power.
And there's nothing funny about an organ that isn't operating at full capacity.

Illinois Nano EP Seminar Series Spring 2010 - Lecture 3: Characterization and Modeling of Transport in Single Walled Carbon Nanotube Films for Device Applications
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Single‐walled carbon nanotube (CNT) films are transparent, conductive, and flexible materials. These films have uniform physical and electronic properties, and can be mass produced in a cost effective manner. Due to these favorable properties, they have been suggested for various applications such as flexible microelectronics, optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices, supercapacitors and chemical sensors. However, the percolative electronic transport phenomena in these films have not been thoroughly studied. In addition, for applications such as solar cells and photodetectors, the interface between the CNT film and the host material needs to be analyzed as it plays a significant role in determining the transport mechanisms and device characteristics. In this talk, we will
discuss our experimental and computational results on CNT film resistivity and 1/f noise scaling with device parameters. Then, we will analyze a metal‐semiconductor photodetector with CNT film as the metal and Si as the semiconducting substrate.

Kauai! She called me at work this week and wanted to know if I wanted to go to Hawaii with her. It took all of ten minutes to say yes, take time off of work and reschedule all of my appointments. I'm so excited I can't stand it right now. It's hard to concentrate on anything else but I did finish another Project Life page.

Repost from the last three years, and will continue to repost it until the parade returns.
Often in my blog, I laud Mayor Zimmer. I think she's fantastic, and most everything she has done I have agreed with.
Most everything.
One of the hot topics where I disagree is the St. Patrick's Day parade. This isn't a simple issue. It's complex. There's certainly a lot of people affected by it, and the most obvious issue that critics point to is "quality of life".
Things that can't be disputed that on our parade day there are lots of people who come to Hoboken who could care less about a parade, and are simply looking for an excuse to drink. Considering that most of our fund raisers (Restore Our Shore at City Bistro or The Gala to Rebuild Hoboken) revolve around serving alcohol. You disagree? Try to have either of those events in a "family friendly" setting. Take away the bars from those fundraisers or any serving of alcohol & move those events to a Wednesday night. Think they would have the same turnout? You and I both know they wouldn't.
As for the issue of crime. Recently the city council discussed that last year crime was down compared to years past, and are using that as a reason why moving the parade to a Wednesday was a success. First off, there were far less people in town last year for the "LepreCon", even if 10,000 people online said they RSVP'd - a simple walk around town proved that there were far fewer people versus years past. Hence...less crime. Don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining. Of course if you have less people in town you will have less crime. That shouldn't be a reason to cancel this parade.
Here's the easy solutions that can bring the parade back to the weekends and make everyone happy:
1. Schedule it for a Sunday, not a Saturday. The argument from The Hoboken St. Patrick's Day Committee was that participants could not do a weekday parade because many of them are working. Saturday was the reason, but i'm sure most people will be able to make a Sunday parade. Plus, most younger adults can drink with wild abandon on a Saturday afternoon, whereas most younger adults may have a good time - but many of them have jobs on Monday and that will temper HOW drunk they get.
2. Move the Parade to Sinatra Drive. This is for multiple reasons. One, the argument from store owners is that they didn't like so many people blocking their store fronts. Two, this blocks major traffic on Washington Street. Three, people live along Washington Street & are affected by the quality of life. Let's move it to Sinatra Drive, where people can easily line up and watch the parade, with NYC as the backdrop. Have the parade begin at 11th Street and "end" at the Beer Garden, with Erie-Lackawanna Park and Hudson Place cars & taxis removed. People who want to watch the parade without having to listen to loud music & revelers along Washington Street can enjoy it without people bumping into them or making noise.
3. Create a Beer Garden for people to drink & charge them. We have similar tents for The St. Ann's Festival. Plus the St. Ann's Festival has live music. The Nerds played there last time. Why not do the same thing for the St. Patrick's Day event? We had Mumford & Sons play on Pier A last summer. I would do the same event, with live Irish Bands. This would do two things: 1. Less house parties and 2. Keep the drinkers in a place where they can be easily controlled.
It won't stop the house parties. It won't stop bars from having people drink. What it will do is diffuse those events by taking the 17,000 people who would normally be at a house party or a bar - and put them in front of the police. It will allow us to hire Class 2 police or, perhaps, a professional security company (like ones you see at other outdoor concerts) to patrol the "St. Patrick's Day Beer Garden", while "regular" police can patrol the city and respond to calls of disturbances. Visibly intoxicated people at the Beer Garden will be removed with zero tolerance.
Also, the money raised from this event can offset the clean up costs. Mumford & Sons attracted 17,000 people - and they sold beer at that event. Lets imagine to attend the Beer Garden you need a wristband to enter, each wristband is $5. Beer is $4 each, much like you would find at any bar in Hoboken. The wristbands alone would generate $85,000 (17,000 times $5). That's not including what the beer would generate, which I would hazard to say if everyone had 1 drink, that would be $51,000 (this includes beer costs, which would probably be $1 per drink, so expect $3 profile per beer). Also, I would hire for this event licensed Hoboken bartenders at $200 each - and there will be plenty of them available that aren't working the bar that day (trust me, as someone who bartended for 10+ years you can find free bartenders who want to make easy money pouring beer.
4. Create a "Family Friendly" area at the Hoboken Little League field. Its a large open space which is close to the parade & allows for kids and adults to watch the parade pass by on Sinatra Drive - with a fenced in area so its easy to watch your kids!
5. Work with the bar community. I know more than this than the average citizen. I happen to be friends with many bar owners. You know what they all say - they didn't like the parade. Yes, it increases revenue. But the headache of dealing with drunks on that day - by hiring more security and dealing with drunks really doesn't make it "worth it". An interesting idea would be the following: Bar owners agree that patrons need to buy wristbands to enter their bars - just like the beer garden. The wristbands are a $5 charge, and proceeds will go towards the city. Bars need to "buy" them from the city before the parade.
So, for example, Bar XYZ buys 1,000 wrist bands for that day or $5,000 which they resell. Now, no one is stopping Bar XYZ from selling those at a fair market value. They could sell them at $5....or $20. We all know that bars have a cover on parade days - plus people can then go to the bar or the Beer Garden. Say someone wants to do a few hours at the Beer Garden, and then join their friends at a bar - they can flash their wristband and don't have to pay a cover. People will say "Why should I pay for a $20 wristband at Bar XYZ, when its only $5 at the Beer Garden". Simple, supply and demand and the bars choice on what they price.
Also if someone leaves the bar for a smoke or whatever and they return with a wristband - then they aren't charged a cover again. The bar is "asked" to buy the number of wristbands equal to their occupancy. So, if Bar XYZ has 300 capacity, they buy $1500 worth of wristbands (if not more), which they make their money back by selling to people at $5 each - or maybe even giving those wristbands for free to their "regulars" (the bar eats the cost of $5, like a buyback). This is the easy way to create a Parade Tax, and if you figure we have 80 bars in town and even 40 of those bars get on board and buy on average 200 wristbands, that is $40,000 that the bars just generated for the city - if not more. Its more money than the ill-planned "fund" that Mayor Zimmer tried in 2009. Plus, my idea is $5 for a wristband. You could make them $10 each.
Use the parade to our advantage. My ideas would absolutely work, generate revenue for clean up costs and security costs - I hazard to say the city could generate $175,000+ on parade day (and that's a conservative estimate). It would satisfy the parade committee and if not keep all the curmudgeon homeowners happy, it would satisfy most of them except for the vocal NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) types who will never be happy.

Many people have a wish to see and touch a dolphin at least once in their lives. This wish can come true in Bali. The sight of dozens of dolphins streaking through the water, making elegant somersaults and following boats as if they really would like to make contact, brings a smile to everyone's face. Real dolphin lovers can even meet their favourite creature face to face in the south of Bali.
Dolphins can be found in numerous places. In northern Bali, at Lovina Beach, traditional fishing boats head off in search of dolphins every day before sunrise. At Amed, in eastern Bali, the dolphins swim close to the beach and in the south, you can visit the best dolphin spots by speedboat from Tanjung Benoa and Sanur. There's also a boarding point close to Sanur for a close encounter with a dolphin at the Dolphin Lodge. Here, in a pool with open-sea access, dolphins are cared for and trained with great love and respect.
The inviting beaches at Lovina are located to the north of Bali on the coast of the Bali Sea. Life is a bit more chilled out here and certainly less hectic than the southern town of Kuta. It's an event every morning when the colourful jukungs take to the water along the 12-kilometre black volcanic-sand beach. These traditional fishing boats set off before sunrise to go fishing or take people to see dolphins. It's a wonderful sight but it's also very busy. If you choose to leave later or persuade your guide to stay a little longer until the other boats have left, you'll still have time to enjoy the dolphins in the open sea.
The charming Amed, on Bali's east coast, is another coastal region with black sand. It consists of a series of fishing villages, all with a laid-back atmosphere. This is the place to be for real scuba diving enthusiasts who also want to enjoy Bali's beach culture. Yoga lovers can also find peace here. Dolphins regularly poke their noses in the direction of the beach and local fishermen offer cruises to see them. If you're really lucky, you might spot one from your own beach villa early in the morning.
The Dolphin Lodge is located 5 minutes from the coast of Sanur. This is a pool of floating pontoons where dolphins are treated after having been wounded by boats or fishing nets. The dolphins receive extra vitamins, food and medical care. In addition, they are trained to do tricks. The dolphins can be seen by visitors a maximum of 3 times a day and, otherwise, their time is their own and they are free to swim in the open sea. Thanks to the loving care they receive, the dolphins always return of their own accord.
During a 40-minute session, you have the chance to get close to these graceful creatures. Small, supervised groups of maximum 6 people are escorted to the water's edge, where a dolphin awaits making cheerful noises. The carers talk about the dolphins and their habits in great detail, and there's plenty of time to play and make genuine contact with this intelligent creature. The dolphin dip doesn't come cheap but it's worth every penny if you love these mammals.
"An encounter with a dolphin is a heart-warming experience and many people are deeply touched by it."

Anyone else playing it?
I was able to get a few hours in last night. I love the new recruiting so far, saves a ton of boring repetitive work that made me hate (and usually sim) recruiting. I am enjoying it now. It is ultra important to pick the right players at the beginning of the year. Only issue so far is that in week 7, I am still finding 3 and 4 star recruits that nobody has recruited. Longtime issue in NCAA.
I'm having fun with the gameplay. Due to some really poor playcalling, I ended last night with a brutal game between Oregon and UW. I (Ducks) kept getting first downs but I couldn't get a big play (and I kept accidentally calling for no-huddle even in formations I don't like) and had trouble scoring. I was down 21-28 going into the fourth, took a 1 point lead off a Mariota TD run, UW scored a field goal for a 2 point lead, I threw a pick at the 1 yard line and then managed to sack Price in the endzone for a safety. Won the game easily in OT. Read option can be fun, but with DeAnthony Thomas, I find that defenders let Mariota run on them almost every time. He has 500 yards rushing in 6 games and I am usually simming the second half. Even on Heisman, Oregon is like playing on easy mode, just biding time until named rosters come out.

Hey Sunshine,asunthatneversets wrote: That's cool they revisited that!
Your piece is more of a pointing out piece than Candrakirti's SevenFold Reasoning methinks. There is one mod we may want to make, which should be fine since you disclaimed everything at the start.
This actually makes a bit of a contradiction in the interesting "world" you create. I think we'd need to lobotomize memory as well to prevent one from remembering "change" in whatever sense we focused on, for otherwise, one will "know" something about what changes, and what does not, and that itself becomes self/other or change/nochange. As Cone said way back in this thread, this distinction happens really early in most animals, probably genetic. Anyway, I'm trying to gather all this into an effable thought and sometimes my brain works better when I'm sleeping (actually, I think I am sleeping) so these issues will no doubt receive further blathering in future.asunthatneversets wrote: The conclusion that the colors are external to us is based on the principle that these colors change over time.
But by looking at experience very directly it can actually be ascertained that this "otherness" is never a part of our experience.
I don't think this thread has a theme any longer. First it went conventional, now it is approximately everything, perhaps that is the nature of these topics, they are all connected.asunthatneversets wrote: So what are the issues with what cone is saying? Because they fall in line with the entire theme of this thread and are accurate in my opinion.
Cone's post is the latest in a series of messages here, and also in cloud's thread referenced earlier, related to issues of language and how much time we spend trying to understand each others' words. We have Nagarjuna's Language Framework (say NLF for acronym geeks) and today's conventional-dictionary-compatible Modern Language Framework (MLF). NLF{exists} and MLF{exists} can mean really different things. Many words are like this. NLF{cognitive error} means you are not fairly advanced in meditation and/or Madhyamaka understanding of subject/object. MLF{cognitive error} means something is physically wrong with your brain, like you have ADD or seizures or made a conventionally false statement. When experienced Buddhists, like folks in this group, speak to "people on the street" using ALF, is this a "good" idea? As fun as semantics may be, it may not be the most effective approach to learning, teaching, or discussing Buddhism and spreading the Dharma. Cone says you can't know whose "fault" it is. Let's see, and some readers appear to avoid discussing the issue entirely so that their reaction feels irrational rather than your average Buddhist equanimity. So too many things for same thread imo, there is at least epistemology, ethics and morality, social dynamics, Buddhism itself (conventionally speaking), another almost everything topic. Maybe we can limit this thread to emptiness, realism versus antirealism, rabbit horns, and no more than six additional issues and fourteen jokes.
Now I must return to the ever-satisfying deep sleep state. Hasta manana.

One of the cornerstones of the Mental Health Services Act is to empower under-represented ethnic populations (UREP). It aims to expand services to include culturally and linguistically competent approaches to ethnic communities that have been historically marginalized by the mental health system and to give them a voice in the stakeholder process.
During the planning phase of MHSA, a UREP Work Group, consisting of 56 culturally diverse mental health professionals and community and client advocates, was created to make implementation recommendations to the Department of Mental Health. This Work Group established the UREP Guiding Principles and five subcommittees representative of the major ethnic groups within Los Angeles County.
UREP groups meet regularly to provide service and funding recommendations that are culturally and linguistically competent to each of their respective communities. They also play an integral role in the planning and implementation of MHSA plans such as Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) and Workforce Education and Training (WET). The five groups are:
- African American
- American Indian
- Asian/Pacific Islander
- Middle Eastern/Eastern European
- Latino
The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health is committed to working alongside ethnic and cultural communities that have been historically on the periphery of the mental health system. It seeks to draw on the collective wisdom of unserved and underserved communities and establish a process that can help to address service inequities.

Francis Scott Key
Defence Of Fort Mchenry (Stars And Stripes Forever) - Poem by Francis Scott Key
O! say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there -
O! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream -
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havock of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul foot-steps' pollution,
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
O! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home, and the war's desolation,
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto - 'In God is our trust! '
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.

the home of the brave is ironic - having defeated the British the Yanks bravely turned their guns on the native Indians (the braves) and wiped them out.
Also ironic is the land of the free when it is considered how many slaves there were in America. (Report) ReplyAnalogous To Tower 7: Ameaning (5/30/2014 12:35:00 PM)

My g g g grandfather once remarked to his first cousin Francis that, that poem you wrote will bring you fame. Mr Craddock describes it all quite well. Francis was detained onboard a British prisoner of war exchange ship during the battle, so he and those with him observed the battle from the English POV first hand. Francis was a lawyer apparently helping in obtaining a release for some capture American soldier. (Report) Reply
Terence George Craddock (5/30/2010 9:27:00 PM)
Francis Scott Key began writing the patriotic poem 'Defence of Fort McHenry' on the morning of September 14th 1814. This was the day after the attack had begun on the 13th and Key was inspired and surprised by the sight of the American flag still waving above Fort Henry, after having watched the bombardment during the night. The first verses were jotted down on the back of an envelope and the words were composed to the tune of "The Anacreontic Song" also called "To Anacreon in Heaven". This was a popular British drinking song composed by John Stafford Smith (1750-1836) . The poem was completed and titled at the Indian Queen Hotel.
The first two lines of the poem are important to give the historical context. There is perhaps surprise and definitely justified pride in 'O! say can you see, by the dawn's early light, /What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming'. So what does this mean and was there a 'perilous fight'? Was Key accurate in writing 'O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? /And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air'.
Who were the 1,000 American soldiers at Fort McHenry facing? They are facing British combat veterans triumphant from defeating Napoleon the previous year, under seasoned officers like Major General Robert Ross. This British Army had already overrun the American defence at the Battle of Bladensburg. Then marched into Washington D.C. unopposed by military defence, and burned and looted public buildings, including the White House, Capital, Treasury and War Department. Next American defenders at Fort Warburton fled without firing a shot and Alexandria surrendered.
In contrast at Fort McHenry under Major George Armistead, defiant American soldiers have just withstood 25 hours of bombardment from a British fleet of nineteen ships just beyond the range of Fort McHenry's cannons. The Congreve rockets were fired from the rocket vessel HMS Erebus, from a 32-pound battery installed below the main deck through portholes or scuttles. The rockets were unreliable and highly inaccurate but used as a psychological weapon of terror. Combined with the mortar shells, explosive shells fired in a ballistic arc from the bomb vessels, with the dread names HMS Terror, HMS Devastation, HMS Meteor, HMS Volcanco and HMS Aetna, these terror weapons must have terrified the inexperienced defenders. Yes 'the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air' is totally accurate.
In addition 1,500 to 1,800 cannonballs were fired at the fort, therefore the pride of the defenders, who fired on this 'foe's haughty host' should not be slighted. These men earned their immortal glory with courage under fire.
The poem is on display by the Maryland Historical Society under the title the 'Star-Spangled Banner' poem. The lyrics of only the first and fourth stanzas became the National Anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner" in 1931, although only the first is usually sung.

Where was the American love of freedom during the first two years of WWII, when the freedom of the whole world was at stake? - Evidently Straw doesn't know much history. The Lend-Lease Act enacted in 1941 permitted FDR to sell, lend or lease war supplies to Britain without payment or charge. To compare the sacrifices made by Ameica in battle and the restoration of post-war Europe to a scene in a film made in Hollywood by Americans puts Straw's hair on end boggles the mind, to say the least!

Kevin Straw (5/30/2009 6:45:00 AM)
One understands the nationalistic fervour in this poem because of the circumstances in which it was written. But it is difficult to not infer from it that freedom. and courage in defending it, reside only in a religious America and under the one flag. Where was the American love of freedom during the first two years of WWII, when the freedom of the whole world was at stake? As national anthems go, I would put this second to the French anthem - the scene in Casablanca when the French refugees broke into La Marseillaise is still for me hair-raising. (Report) Reply

Last week, the FBI announced the capture of Jose "Joe" Luis Saenz, an alleged gang member and murderer who, since 2009, had been on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Saenz was captured in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he had been living above a beauty parlor. According to the AP, Saenz had gone to great lengths to disguise his identity: losing weight, removing tattoos, disfiguring his fingerprints. But it's unclear whether he was able to alter his fat, distinctive baby face.
That baby face may have helped Saenz get on the list in the first place. Ever since the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list was created in 1950, many have assumed that the list contains the worst of the worst—that it's something like a power ranking for crooks. And, indeed, the list has contained fugitives who've loomed large in the public imagination: Osama bin Laden, James Earl Ray, Whitey Bulger, Eric Rudolph, Ramzi Yousef.
But in a New York Times article this June, Michael S. Schmidt noted that "bureau officials have also tried to select other dangerous fugitives who may have been hiding in plain sight but could be recognized by the public because they have distinctive physical features." In other words, a weird-looking fugitive is more likely to make the list than a criminal without distinctive marks.
This makes sense. The whole point of the list is to motivate the public to help identify fugitives, and it's easier to identify someone whose face is hard to forget. Joe Saenz has the sort of broad cake-eater's face that would stick in your mind if you saw it, and might trigger recognition when you saw that face on a wanted poster.
The FBI issued its first "wanted poster" in 1919, in an effort to catch a runaway soldier named William N. Bishop. (Bishop had four vaccination scars and a "massive lower jaw.") The Most Wanted list was created after a wire service reporter in need of column copy asked the FBI for a list of its ten worst fugitives. The subsequent story generated enormous positive publicity, and prompted J. Edgar Hoover to institutionalize the format; in 1950, the bureau issued an official list of ten notorious murderers, kidnappers, escape artists, and car thieves. An American legend was born.
The list soon became a valuable publicity tool, a way for the FBI to increase the heat on those criminals who had proven the most elusive, like folk-hero bank robber Willie Sutton and noted cattle rustler Chester Davenport, who was caught two days after being added to the list. (He was arrested while milking a cow; it is unclear whether the cow had tipped anyone off.) Fugitives generally stay on the list until they are caught or confirmed dead. When a spot opens, as this 2007 Explainer describes, the FBI field offices nominate potential replacements. ("To get one of your fugitives on the Top Ten list, you were a salesperson," an ex-FBI agent was quoted as saying in The Encyclopedia of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. "You had to present this person in the most negative light.") In order to make the list, they have to be considered dangerous, elusive, and vulnerable to nationwide publicity. It also helps if they're ugly.
Eric Toth, an alleged child pornographer who took Osama bin Laden's spot on the list earlier this year, is a tall, thin dude with a weirdly shaped head and a distinctive mole under his eye. Rape and murder suspect Fidel Urbina, added to the list on June 5, has acne scars on his right cheek. Alexis Flores, wanted for the abduction, rape, and murder of a five-year-old girl, has scars on his forehead and right cheek. Jason Derek Brown, on the list since 2007, is a suspected robber and murderer who sort of looks like Sean Penn.
These fugitives are dangerous, to be sure, but they're hardly the sort of supervillains a layman might expect to find on the Ten Most Wanted list. Then again, "A Few Notorious Louts and Several Other Dangerous Guys with Visible Scars" doesn't have the same ring to it. Eric Toth is a bad guy, undoubtedly, but it's hard to say that he's worse than Randy Yager, a motorcycle gang leader wanted on racketeering charges involving murder and arson, or Daniel Hiers, an ex-cop wanted for molesting a teenager and murdering his wife. Hiers and Yager are both on the U.S. Marshals' 15 Most Wanted List, a similar rundown containing totally different personnel. Both men are relatively normal looking.


text: CME Group to Acquire Kansas City Board of Trade October 18, 2012 03:58 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email CME Group, the world's leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, and the Kansas City Board of Trade, the leading futures market for hard red winter (HRW) wheat, announced they have signed a definitive agreement under which CME Group will acquire the Kansas City Board of Trade (KCBT). Under the terms of the transaction, CME Group will pay $126M in cash for KCBT. In addition, KCBT will make a special distribution of excess cash to members concurrent with closing. CME Group has committed to maintain a committee made up of KCBT market participants to advise on HRW wheat contract terms and conditions for at least three years, and to maintain the historic KCBT trading floor in Kansas City for a period of at least six months. "Global agricultural market participants continue to depend on liquid, transparent risk management tools for price discovery in both established and emerging economies," said CME Group Executive Chairman and President Terry Duffy. "Building on two rich legacies, the combination of KCBT Hard Red Winter Wheat products with our deep and liquid CBOT Soft Red Winter Wheat futures and options markets will provide new trading opportunities for market participants around the world – both on the trading floor and on the screen." "This transaction creates significant value for customers and shareholders of both companies. While the CBOT and KCBT Wheat contracts are very distinct products with different uses, the ability for producers and commercial participants to hedge their risk in both key benchmarks in one place will produce cross-margining benefits and other capital efficiencies," said CME Group CEO Phupinder Gill. "In addition, product development opportunities here are great for both of our client bases – not only in futures, but also in options that can help market participants manage risk at a reduced cost during targeted timeframes in the crop year." "Given the increasing operational demands and regulatory requirements, it was deemed beneficial that the KCBT partner with an exchange with the technology, experience, leadership and resources of CME Group," said Steven K. Campbell, KCBT Chairman. "KCBT's flagship HRW wheat product is a logical and valuable addition to CME Group's global grains complex. After considering a number of qualified interested parties, the KCBT's Board of Directors is convinced that the CME Group is the best fit for the long-term goals of our exchange, our product offerings, and in continuing to meet the price/risk management needs of our customers." "Throughout KCBT's 156-year history, trading has evolved dramatically, with an increasing emphasis on technology in recent years," said Jeff Borchardt, KCBT President and CEO. "CME Group's position as a global leader in electronic trading access and capability makes them an ideal partner for the future of KCBT's HRW wheat contract, the global benchmark for bread wheat." The board of directors of KCBT unanimously approved the transaction, which is expected to close later this year pending approval by KCBT shareholders and regulators, expiration of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period and completion of customary closing conditions.
