Activity Finds: North Shore & Central Oahu
Sunset Beach
A shining star among O'ahu's North Shore lineup, Sunset Beach is one of the more popular surf spots for experienced boarders during Hawai'i's big wave winter season and a popular sunning spot during the calmer summer months.
Just off of Kamehameha Highway, Sunset Beach breaks up the monotonous view of residential homes, swaying palms, and glimpses of Hawai'i's warm turquoise waters. Waikiki Parc's Todd T. likes to come here to watch the pros shred it up during the winter swells and sunbathe and swim during the summer. Sunset also receives ray-ve reviews from beachgoers for the convenient parking lot across the street with restrooms and showers. And for those with children, Sunset Beach sets a lifeguard on duty daily, which offers some peace of mind and a good sounding board to check in on the day's water conditions.
Sunset's world-famous waves are also home to surfing competitions including the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing - one of the Van's Triple Crown's prestigious events, which regularly attracts hundreds of elite surfers from around the world to compete for the contest's $135,000 prize purse and barrel bragging rights.

In the Matter of
PURSUANT TO SECTION 15(b)
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it appropriate and in the public interest that public administrative proceedings be, and hereby are, instituted pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") against respondent Justin Marvul ("Marvul").
In anticipation of the institution of these proceedings, Marvul has submitted an Offer of Settlement ("Offer"), which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of these proceedings and any other proceedings brought by or on behalf of the Commission or to which the Commission is a party, and without admitting or denying the findings herein, except as to the Commission's jurisdiction over him and the subject matter of these proceedings, and the findings contained in Section III.F and III.H below, which are admitted, Marvul consents to the entry of this Order Instituting Public Administrative Proceeding Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions ("Order"), as set forth below.
On the basis of this Order and Marvul's Offer, the Commission finds that:
A. Marvul, 28, is currently incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution McKean, in McKean, Pennsylvania. He previously resided in Brooklyn, New York. Posing as "Eric Feldman," Marvul created and controlled Diagnostic Professional Imaging Services, Inc. ("Diagnostic"), a company purportedly formed to operate a Magnetic Resonance Imaging center in Brooklyn, New York. According to offering materials, "Eric Feldman" was Diagnostic's vice-president and treasurer and owned fifty percent of Diagnostic's pre-offering stock.
B. In 1998, Marvul, and others, arranged for an offering, purportedly pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D, of 200,000 shares of common stock in Diagnostic. Marvul, posing as "Eric Feldman," retained an attorney for Diagnostic and prepared a private placement memorandum with respect to the offering. Marvul also controlled Diagnostic's bank account. The offering raised more than $580,000 from at least fifty investors.
C. In connection with the Diagnostic offering, Marvul, through individuals acting under his direction and control, represented to investors that (1) the proceeds of the offering would be raised for Diagnostic's legitimate business purposes and (2) that Diagnostic was going to launch an initial public offering in the near future. These representations were false. In fact, Marvul and others diverted a substantial portion of the offering proceeds to their own personal benefit and, consequently, those proceeds were never used for Diagnostic's business. In addition, Diagnostic never had any plan to conduct an initial public offering. Marvul knew or was reckless in not knowing that these representations were false. These misrepresentations were material.
D. Marvul participated in the offering of the common stock of Diagnostic, a "penny stock" as that term is used in Section 15(b)(6) and as defined by Section 3(a)(51) of the Exchange Act and Rule 3a51-1 thereunder.
E. On June 14, 2000, the Commission filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Marvul alleging that he engaged in the conduct described above. SEC v. Diagnostic Professional Imaging Services, Inc., 00 Civ. 4386 (NRB) (S.D.N.Y.) (the "Civil Action").
F. On February 25, 2003, a Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief ("Final Judgment") was entered by consent against Marvul in the Civil Action, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
G. By reason of the foregoing, Marvul willfully violated and has been permanently enjoined from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
H. On April 6, 2001, Marvul pled guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 371, securities fraud in violation of Title 15 United States Code, Sections 78j(b) and 78ff, conspiracy to commit money laundering, in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 371, and money laundering, in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 1956(a)(1)(B)(i) before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in United States v. Justin Marvul, 00 CR 247-006 (LAP). On November 5, 2001, a judgment in the criminal case was entered against Marvul. He was sentenced to a prison term of 46 months followed by three years of supervised release.
I. The counts to which Marvul pled guilty alleged, among other things, that Marvul defrauded investors and obtained money and property by means of materially false and misleading statements, and that he caused commercial carriers to deliver investor funds to Diagnostic.
In view of the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate and in the public interest to impose the sanctions specified in Respondent Marvul's Offer.
Pursuant to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act that Marvul be, and hereby is, barred from participating in any offering of a penny stock, including: acting as a promoter, finder, consultant, agent, or other person who engages in activities with a broker, dealer or issuer for purposes of the issuance or trading in any penny stock; or inducing or attempting to induce the purchase or sale of any penny stock.
By the Commission.

In addition it lays its eggs on Honesty (Lunaria annua) and Dame's-violet (Hesperis matronalis) in gardens, but larval survival is thought to be poor on these plants.

Architectural Digest hosted a retrospective of esteemed photographer Harry Benson's work last night in Los Angeles and the most random celebs and pseudo-celebs turned out to toast him. Sharon Stone, shown with Benson at left, was there looking prettier and softer and just plain lovelier than we've seen in a while. Natassja Kinski, however, looked infinitely rougher than we imagined possible. Darryl Hannah? Somewhere in between the two. (And I suspect that Jillian Barberie is shopping in the teen maternity department.) The full Good, Bad, and Ugly, after the jump.
The Good:
Brooke Burke and David Charvet look pretty and wholesome and like the impossibly attractive boy-and-girl-next door.
Well-groomed and well-dressed, Randolph Duke wonders why he's not designing Halston.
Sharon Stone is probably not wearing anything from the Gap.
Can't you just hear Wendy and Tessa Benson saying to one another, "Stripes? Stripes!"
The Bad:
Is Darryl Hannah wearing tall white Timberlands?

Florida State Hangs On to Win at Clemson, But Same Flaws RemainPosted by mpatton on January 5th, 2013
Matt Patton (@rise_and_fire) is an ACC Microsite writer and RTC correspondent. He filed this report after Saturday afternoon's ACC clash between Florida State and Clemson in Littlejohn Coliseum.
On the first possession of its conference opener at Littlejohn Coliseum Saturday afternoon, Florida State looked like the defending conference champions. The Seminoles forced a shot clock violation with its suffocating ball pressure and two blocks near the rim. That possession fueled their fire, as the Seminoles ran out to a double-figure lead behind great shooting — specifically from Okaro White (who made three early three-point field goals) and Ian Miller (who hit both of his shots from deep). At one point Michael Snaer singlehandedly forced a Clemson turnover in the backcourt. Clemson bounced back somewhat, but still trailed by 13 at the half.
The second half was a different story. The Seminoles looked entitled, not determined. Snaer allowed the officials to frustrate him and Clemson slowly but surely climbed back into the game. The Tigers forced some untimely turnovers, hit big shots and killed FSU on the boards. Luckily for (and probably thanks to) Florida State, Milton Jennings was horrible all game. He committed five turnovers, and made several crucial defensive mistakes down the stretch. FSU escaped with a 71-66 win, but a victory doesn't disguise the fact that Florida State's defense was undressed in the second half. They had no answer to Devin Booker once he got the ball. Booker finished 8-of-11 from the field for 19 points and 11 boards. He looked unstoppable and Florida State's front line looked soft or uncoordinated depending on its personnel.
That said, Florida State has some positives to take away from this game. First and foremost, it survived in a hostile environment when the whistle was blowing the other way most of the afternoon. Also Snaer looked pedestrian on offense. White had a great first half, showing off his potential, before playing the role of wallflower for much of the second half. Long story short, the Seminoles have a long way to go and an uphill battle to fight before Selection Sunday — this team needs to get a lot better.

Not being a water sportster and having no reunion to attend, I took a vacation from posting to catch up on reading (Vincent Starrett's The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes), download book writing software (yWriter), and hit a few yard sales.
Alas, several boot sales offered nothing I couldn't live without, but Goodwill was a goldmine. Ever since Antiques Roadshow taught us what looks like junk may not be junk, I always check GW's art section for hidden treasure.
Most days, the prints and "paintings" on offer really are junk, so I was pleasantly surprised Saturday to find half a dozen framed prints I simply had to have. Plus a framed reproduction of the unknown girl in Rembrandt's "Girl At A Window 1645". That's her at the beginning of the post...the section in my copy, that is.
The entire painting from Dulwich Picture Gallery's website:
Trust me, if my copy is the least bit true to the original, these photos don't do her justice. The colors are more vibrant, more Titian; her expression is much more intense. Something in her eyes at once draws you and makes it hard to look away, perhaps the reason "Girl" is one of the Dulwich's most popular paintings.
But if you visit the Dulwich in the next twelve months, don't plan to see "Girl". She left the gallery on the 3rd September for a year-long tour:
- 23 Sep 2009 > 31 January 2010: Tate Britain, London
- 9 March 2010 > 30 May 2010: Frick Collection, New York
- 21 June 2010 > 19 Sep 2010: Museo del Prado, Madrid
Denis Lipman of England Rents, Rants & Raves has published his first book called A Yank Back To England: A Prodigal Tourist Returns.
The "plot": Englishman goes to America, acquires an American wife, brings her back to England to introduce her to the wonders of the country of his birth.
If the book is as funny as Denis's posts on ERR&R, it should be an instant bestseller! More about the book here.
When not writing blogs and books and playing tour guide, Denis dabbles in gourmet cooking.
His Peppery Cold Watercress Soup sounds heavenly on a hot day. I wasn't aware watercress was good for anything but crustless sandwiches at tea time. Nor would I think of diced pears as a garnish, but Denis did, and the result looks quite tasty, doesn't it?
Frances (Mrs. Prodigal Tourist) has her own blog, btw, called A Slide of Life which features photos from her travels with and without Mr. PT.

On the subject of books and traveling, many thanks to Here Be Dragons for reminding us of books that travel.
BookCrossing.com was the inspiration of Ron Hornbaker and wife Kaori back in 2001. The idea is simple: attach a BookCrossing label inside a book you no longer care for, register the book at BC's website, then leave the book in a public place to be picked up by a stranger, who hopefully will log the location at BC before passing it on in the same manner. Or, as in the case of Here Be Dragon's friend, mailing the book to another bookcrosser. Either way, you can then track the book's travels.
Like people, some books never leave the town in which they were "born" (purchased), others travel thousands of miles. Years ago, I purchased a used book that had a BookCrossing label, and am now embarrassed to admit that I gave it away without recording its location at BookCrossing.
Registration is free, as is recording your location when you come into possession of a BC-registered book. However, labels from BC to affix to books you're passing on are not free, but can be purchased in packs. Still, all in all, a wonderful idea and eco-friendly!

There seems to be an interesting immigration trend in British theological circles. My own alma mater, the University of Aberdeen, has recently announced that Bernd Wannenwetsch is leaving the University of Oxford to take up the chair of theological ethics, and Tom Greggs is leaving Chester to join Abedeen's department of divinity. This, of course, follows a similar trend as John Webster, who left the Lady Margaret Chair of Divinity at Oxford to come to Aberdeen. This is, it should be noted, not an isolated event, as if Aberdeen itself had a theologian tractor beam. N.T. Wright left his tiny residence in Durham to go to St. Andrews, and several years before, Oliver O'Donovan fled Oxford for a chance to teach at Edinburgh.
Therefore, let me be the first to offer Lewis Ayres a position at Aberdeen. It seems clear that everything is falling apart down in England, so flee for the border!!!

Post subject: Best kind of paint to use in a theme park?
This might be a wacky place to ask this question, but I work in a small children's theme park, and we are in the process of restoring many of our old sets and figures. Does anyone know what is the best kind of paint to use in a such a high traffic setting? Or does anyone know where I can find this information? Our main concern is finding something durable that will withstand weather and children climbing all over it.

Post subject: Asphalt paint?
I don't know what they use normally, but I worked on towers one summer (with repeater antennas, dishes, LORAN, beacons...) and one tower that we painted was done with asphalt paint. It is what is used for the lines on the streets and curbs, to hold up to what they need to, and last a long time.
It is a huge mess to work with, and no one will rent a sprayer to you, because it gets too clogged up, since the paint is so thick. If you do use one, it has to be cleaned out every couple of minutes.
(The tower was up above Glendale, CA and the city council wanted the tower to be painted "sky blue" to environmentally blend in better. It rarely blends in!)

exterior. A lot of the things we're dealing with are sculptures made of concrete and fiberglass, wood and concrete playsets, carousels, wood signage. [url]http://fairyland.org/plan_your_visit/storybook_sets.htm[/url] there are some photos off of our website to give an idea of what we're restoring.

Post subject: Rosco
You may wish to contact Rosco's US scenic paint department for the proper use for your application:
Because it's scenic paint it will work well for the types of things you are painting. I would question them in terms of what's best outdoors. If you would, please report back what you find.
But also because it is scenic paint, it may be pricier than other paints. They may have distributors in your area that can make alternate recommendations.
Rosco Off Broadway Paint
Rosco's most popular vinyl-acrylic scene paint is available in a complete range of theatrical colors for painting virtually any backdrop or scenic element.
Supersaturated Roscopaint
A highly concentrated acrylic scenic paint that can be used to create the widest variety of scenic effects. Use diluted as much as 15:1 for brilliant dye-like results.
Iddings Deep Colors
The highest quality traditional casein based scenic paint available.
Premiere Clear NEW
An advanced, water-borne urethane coating suitable for sealing and protecting painted finishes, floors and high-traffic surfaces.
Clear Flat/Gloss Acrylic Glazes
Use these clear acrylic mediums as a protective topcoat to a painted surface or mixed directly into paint for additional binder strength.
Fluorescent Paint
An economical vinyl-acrylic paint with bright, dayglo colors that fluoresce under ultra-violet light ("blacklight").
Vivid FX
A high quality special effects paint that combines brilliant fluorescence, and one coat coverage and opacity into one remarkable paint formulation.
Rosco has reformulated its unique ClearColour system. When viewed under incandescent light it is completely invisible yet, under the flood of ultraviolet light these fluorescent colors come to life.
A phosphorescent paint designed for use in total darkness for stage direction and visual orientation.
Transparent coloring medium for coating low wattage bulbs. Not for permanent or long-term applications.
Iddings Brushes
These low cost scenic liners, or fitches, are carefully manufactured in the United States with long natural bristles to yield a smooth, even stroke.

Can't you use automotive paint on fiberglass? I think that's what they use when they fabricate. Depending on what they application is, you may be able to use stains for wood and cement... The companies who make these things should know if they are safe for playgrounds. Playground benches and some other pieces tend to use a thick rubber coating, but I can't remember who manufactures that at the moment. You may also be able to use a powder-coat outdoors... I think those are pretty durable. If the company that originally made the signage, buildings and sculpts is still around, you may be able to ask them what they used and how you should go about re-furbishing their work... If not, you may be able to e-mail a few themed fabrication companies and let them know you are on a small budget and see if they can recommend products off-hand...

Twins Fall To Indians Wednesday
The Twins fell 4-3 to the Indians Wednesday night in Cleveland. The Indians won the game on a Mike Aviles single in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Ricky Nolasco contributed his second straight quality start for the Twins, lasting six innings while allowing three runs on six hits with nine strikeouts against one walk. Jared Burton and Brian Duensing each threw a scoreless inning of relief before Casey Fien allowed the walk-off hit with two outs in the ninth.
Brian Dozier knocked in a pair of runs, and rookie Danny Santana registered the Twins' other run batted in in the loss.
The Twins fall to 15-17 with the loss and will wrap up their four game series in Cleveland this morning, with first pitch at Progressive Field scheduled for 11:05 AM on WJON.

CMT Advanced
FroniusUpdated 06/11/2012
The new CMT Advanced technology offers a 60% improvement in deposition rate, even better gap bridgeability and very low welding emissions. It is the first time welding current polarity changing and reversal of the wire movement has been incorporated into process control, broadening the range of processes for joining light and ultra light-gauge sheet. While the reversing wire movement is undoubtedly the most impressive of the features offered by the Cold Metal Transfer process, it does not end there. CMT Advanced offers the option of combining the reversing wire movement with polarity change. The benefits speak for themselves: * Reduced thermal load on the base material * Larger gap tolerances can be bridged * Reduced dilution when cladding The number of positively and negatively polarized cycles can be adjusted for each application, which means the customer can be assured of the best seam quality. In conventional AC/MIG processes, the pole change occurs during the arc burn phase (the 'ground current phase') and, as a result, arc fluctuations are inevitable. CMT Advanced does things differently: the pole change takes place in the short-circuit phase, preventing instability in the arc. The CMT Advanced process also allows a combination of negatively polarized CMT cycles and positively polarized pulse cycles. In this case too, the pole change occurs during the short-circuit phase, ensuring a stable, spatter-free arcing process. Combining the reversing wire movement with polarity change means that - both for the CMT Advanced and CMT Advanced Pulse processes - the deposition rate is increased by up to 60% compared to conventional processes. There is no need for the user to enter complicated settings, control takes place using the tried and tested synergic characteristics and one-button operation on the RCU 5000.

The horrific and tragic and I-5 tunnel pile up in California back on October 12 paints a stark black and white picture about the safety of this highway networks in this country.
All due respect to CalTrans -- California's Department of Transportation -- this particular tunnel has been a problem for a long time. Truckers interviewed right after the crash -- which involved 30 commercial trucks (THIRTY!!!) and countless lighter vehicles -- said this tunnel was a major worry for them, as it sloped down and came upon a blind left turn: at once creating the conditions where a fully loaded truck is going to roll forward faster, yet at the same time putting said truck in a dangerous spot, one where it might have to brake quickly due to traffic congestion.
I got to talk to several truckers who phoned in during my weekly appareance on Sirius Satellite Radio's program 'The Loading Dock' and those that had driven in that tunnel -- including Prime Inc.'s one and only 'Mustang' -- added that even a hint of rain made that tunnel's downward slope 'like ice,' making a bad driving situation that much worse. Though 45 mph is the posted speed limit for the tunnel, drivers calling into the program said many times they'd been passed by cars pushing 70 mph heading down into that dark abyss: not what you would call a good thing.
As of this writing, three people lost their lives in this terrible accident -- with 10 lucky folks barely getting out of there before a blaze ignited by gasoline, diesel and lord knows what else created a 1,400 inferno within the tunnel. Fire reportedly streaked 400 feet in the air from the mouth of the tunnel -- proof that this was truly a catastrophic crash.
So what to do? What can we learn from this tragedy so it never happens again? For starters, truckers complained about poor lighting within the tunnel itself. That's pretty easy to clear up. Second, how about electronic signs on those blind corners, warning folks to slow down if traffic is stopped ahead? Heck, if we can fund red light cameras across this country, we damn sure can afford warning signs in tunnels to prevent crashes like this.
And again speed is a factor -- slowing down both cars and trucks is a must in highway tunnels, especially as there's little room to manuever within them if something goes wrong. One trucker suggested an old tried but true standby -- put some empty police cars in there, complete with dummies dressed as highway patrol officers. That bit of fakery works like magic in terms of slowing traffic down -- especially if, every now and then, a REAL officer gets in there and makes some traffic stops. It's a cheap, simple, yet effective way to slow things down.
One thing is for certain -- our highways are getting much more dangerous. The highway bridge collapse in Minnesota earlier this year, followed by this tunnel crash and firein California, should erase any doubts that driving can taken for granted. It can be dangerous, even fatal -- something all truckers, as they must drive out there every day, know all too well.

Inspector Adrian Leisk says, "Sometimes people get drunk and you see them carrying footwear which is inappropriate." In a town where there's also concerted effort to make the many men caught urinating in public wipe up their own piss, women walking around barefoot is probably more "unsafe" and "unsanitary" than inappropriate.

I listen to music about eight hours a day. In the car on the way to work…all day at work…on the way home from work…it's always on. Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I remember marveling at my dad's amazing record collection at a young age; my favorite being his Sgt. Pepper's picture disc. In lieu of a cover, the jacket had a clear window and the album actually had the cover imprinted on the vinyl. I remember getting my first ever 45″ (Michael Jackson's "Beat It"), and my first tape (Michael Jackson's Thriller – I was clearly a Jacko fan, but who wasn't?), and my first CD (Pink Floyd's Obscured By Clouds).
Through my formative years, I bounced from genre to genre. I listened to classic rock, acoustic folky stuff, and rap, and even went through a brief Nine Inch Nails phase for a year or so in college. Through all of it, though, there was one constant: The Jayhawks.
I'm not sure what it was about The Jayhawks that sucked me in, but I have a ton of memories tied to that little band that could from Minneapolis. In the mid-90s, they were the first band I remember seeing at a club — The Music Farm in Charleston, SC — during high school. I got into trouble when I got home because it was way past curfew, but there was no way we were going to leave before the band had finished playing.
I remember the first time my then-girlfriend (and now wife) came to visit me at home and meet my parents the summer between my freshman and sophomore year of college, listening to Tomorrow The Green Grass on the way back from the beach and then again when we got to my parents' house, falling asleep to the soft but twangy sounds of "Blue."
I remember moving to Memphis in May of 2003, and seeing a tour date the band had for July 4, on the roof of the Gibson Guitar Factory. It wasn't the original line-up (Mark Olson had left the band at the end of 1995), but the sound I had grown to love was still there. It was a good show, and at the end, fireworks lit up the Memphis sky — from the roof of the building, we had the perfect view.
The Jayhawks have been a part of me for nearly 20 years, so I couldn't have been any more excited to hear that the "classic" line-up had reunited, recorded a new album, and would be showing up in Memphis on their latest tour.
It's got to be tough for a band to pick back up after nearly two decades, like things haven't changed. Fortunately it was an amicable split; Olson left on good terms, and the band has played together from time to time. Olson and Gary Louris briefly toured in '05, and recorded an album together in 2009. So, the musical connection was still there, however dulled it may have been by time.
That said, Mockingbird Time, the band's new album, is great. It's got the familiar sound, maybe a tad more refined, even. I was excited to hear the new material live, but a small part of me would have been fine if the band showed up, played Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow The Green Grass from front to back, and left.
By the end of the night, I had a huge grin on my face. It was a show nearly two decades in the making, and it was, at least for me, as good as it could have been.
From the opening notes of "Wichita," there were smiles on more faces in the room than my own – from the several hundred fans to the band members, teeth were visible everywhere. The harmonies and the rustic, rootsy music teleported the audience to a special place.
The band wasted no time in getting to the new music; "Cinnamon Love," a stand-out track from Mockingbird Time, was a powerful statement: to the quality of show, the meat behind the new material, and the overall state of The Jayhawks. It had a ballsy guitar line, and the dual lead vocals of Louris and Olson were as strong as they ever were.
While the band rightfully pushed the new songs, the classics were in abundance on the setlist. From "Take Me With You" to "Blue," the band played what the audience wanted to hear with few missteps. Louris's guitar solos seemed to get a tad sloppy at times – he maybe pushed himself a little too far – but not to the detriment of the overall quality.
"High Water Blues" was probably the strongest of the new songs – it was edgy at times, but really stood out when the band settled into a nice spacy section where the entire band was locked in together. Marc Perlman was settled into the pocket on bass, Tim O'Reagan was providing a great backbeat on cymbals, and Louris really used reverb and his wah-wah pedal to maximum effect. Over the top of it all, Karen Grotberg added colorful touches on keyboards.
If any track from the new album gave "High Water Blues" a run for its money, it was "Tiny Arrows." Again powered by the dual lead vocals, the tune would have fit on any previous release. It's as timeless as the songs the band is known for, which is a testament to the band's staying power. They've found a formula that works, and don't stray very far, because there's no need. It works. The albums after Olson left deviated from formula, but now that he's returned, it's back to business as usual. In fact, over the course of the show, the only material that the band touched on that was made sans-Olson — "Angelyne," "Tampa To Tulsa," and "A Break In The Clouds" — all the flavors of the "classic" line-up.
The band closed their set with the traditional, "Up Above My Head," with the entire band sharing vocals. It was a pretty powerful way to close the show. After the requisite encore break, they returned to the stage and ceded vocals to O'Reagan, who delivered a stellar version of the aforementioned "Tampa To Tulsa." Olson put down his guitar for "How Can I Send Tonight There To Tell You," a tune from his Creekdippers project, and then the band thanked the audience before ending the show in perfect fashion — "Waiting For The Sun." It was a perfect show ender for a nearly perfect show.
The Jayhawks weren't on stage long…maybe an hour and a half. But, in that hour and a half, I saw a band with heart. I saw a band that put their soul into their work, and that's all I ever want. I was teleported back in time. It was a show I had been waiting years for.
I left with a smile. You can go home again.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - On Saturday afternoon, MIT men's swimming and diving team beat Coast Guard, 137-91, taking first place in ten of the 13 events. Freshman Alex Lednev (Glenmont, N.Y.) was the only Engineer to win both of his events.
MIT got off to a strong start with a win in the 200 yard medley relay, touching in 1:38.14, finishing less than half a second before Coast Guard's A relay. Junior Timothy Wall (Newtown, Pa.) finished 33 seconds ahead of the competition in the 1000 yard freestyle with a time of 10:06.47. The Engineers took first through third place in the 200 yard freestyle, with senior Max Pruner (Sioux Falls, S.D.), sophomore Ben Bauchwitz (Hershey, Pa.) and freshman Michael Lu (Scarsdale, N.Y.) touching with less than a second between them all.
Lednev's first win came in the 400 yard individual medley, finishing in 4:08.04, leaving a 16 second gap between he and the Coast Guard swimmer who came in second place. Fellow freshman Evan Olin (Ossining, N.Y.) finished third with a time of 4:24.91. Lednev next won the 100 yard backstroke in 53.82 and was followed by classmate Sean Corcoran (Huntersville, N.C.) in second with a time of 54.70 and senior Brendan Liu (Lake Oswego, Ore.) in 55.31.
To end the afternoon, the Engineers took first, second and third place in the 400 yard freestyle relay. The A relay touched first in 3:15.47, the B relay was second in 3:16.06 and the C relay touched third with a time of 3:18.54.
MIT will return to action on Saturday, Jan. 19 when it hosts Tufts University at 1:00 p.m.

Demise of the Lyrics Game
Although it was already often dormant, I've closed down my Lyrics Game for it collecting a sudden spate of dangerous (but interesting) spam.

It was fun while it lasted. Thanks for hosting it.

Thanks, Sue.
If I tighten the responses up so that spammers can't get to it, neither can some of the other players, and it was getting repetitive anyway.
We could play Encore in person in Albuquerque in December, maybe! :-)

Escape to Stone Barns
It's Escapes Month here at Apartment Therapy, so I thought I'd share a really great escape we took last weekend to Stone Barns in Westchester County. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture was established in 2004 by David Rockefeller and his daughter, Peggy Dulany, in memory of their wife and mother, Peggy Rockefeller.
It is 80 sprawling acres of many things, including a non-profit farm, an educational center, and a super fancy partner restaurant, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, all planted within buildings on the Rockefeller Estate, which dates back to the 1890s.
We went up early and just missed the 10 am egg collecting, but there was a lot of good wandering around to do, and the livestock tour at noon was the highlight, followed by lunch outdoors at the cafe. The three main things that I find incredibly compelling about this escape are as follows:
1. The architecture and design of the old buildings and the new greenhouses are all stunning. There are a ton of lovely ideas here to aspire to in your own home or garden.
2. All the food that is grown, both animals and plants, are terrifically well taken care of and all destined for the restaurant or market. Seeing a working farm up close like this, where the animal lives are both cherished and put to the service of the waiting chefs is unusual and valuable for children.
3. The food is amazing. The little cafe puts out an awesome, simple lunch with food from the farm, prepared by the Blue Hill chefs in the restaurant next door. We've only had the cafe lunch with children, but a visit to the restaurant proper in the evening is a special treat. Remember, this is the same chef, Dan Barber, whose Blue Hill in New York drew President Obama and his wife on their first "date night" after being elected.

I try to pay attention to a girl's likes and dislikes before I start picking out a gift for her.
Example - One of my ex-girlfriends was a huge white chocolate fanatic. Didn't like any other kind of chocolate, just white chocolate. So, I bought her a big box of white chocolates from Godiva.
Example 2 - A friend of mine was big into theater, so I bought a couple of tickets to "The Lion King" when it came into the area.
Just pay attention to what a girl likes, and pick a gift accordingly. You'd be surprised how easy it is to pick out a gift for a girl, if you pay attention to her for about 10 minutes.

Well if she is close to you just ask her as King said but if not then ....since the weather is getting colder buy her a scarf or a pashmina....made out of a nice material....Asking usually works but some women find it rude because they think the guy is not putting thought into it at all.
Anywho let us know what you chose in the end and good luck...

ask the girl or one of her closest friends to see what she likes and wants and be aware of possible gifts other people buy her
a couple of years back I recieved the same book collection twice because the guys didn't ask each other what they were buying, they both overheard that I wanted the books and decided to buy them >.< without knowing that they both bought the same gift

I'm 20 and for my birthday (yesterday!) my boyfriend got me a DS game, a Wii game, a hat with cat ears, a hello kitty bento box and chopsticks and a pair of hello kitty onigiri shapers. Why? Because I'm a gamer, I lover cute things, I love cats, I love making onigiri and food in general lol and I had mentioned all these things over the last few months.
Obviously you can't buy her all these things, or afford them lol but just try to think about what things she likes, what things she talks about, what her main interests are etc.
Don't buy a "typical girl" gift. Things like those baskets of bath things, makeup etc she'll be nice and say thank you but no one really likes them T_T
Cute things are always chock full of win!!!

Best advice's already been given, listen to her, note what she likes and buy something (cheap or pricey) out of your own judgement.
Most important thing is that you listened and got something with significance to her.

Happy Post-Rock Friday…with Balloons!
I'm sorry I've been away…it's been a wild few months that I'll have to fill you in on.
I think it's time to dust off, and start fresh.
Happy Foxy Friday!
So this song has been replaying in my head for about a month…it's catchy…too catchy.
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! I'm Addicted to Chvrches…
I'm addicted, and I don't want to wait until September for their album to drop. I want it now. I'm selfish.
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! Let's Surge!
I've been running a lot again lately. I'm getting ready for another marathon in October, and I'm really going after it this time. I love to run in the mornings…see the sunrise while the world still sleeps…it's my personal time with the universe…my zen. Sometimes when I run, I like to listen to some uplifting progressive trance that just surges me around the neighborhood. Makes me smile…so today on this wonderful Friday, let's break free and flow.
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! Get Lucky with Daft Punk's New Single!
It's been all over the place in the last 24 hours, so let's boogie down this Friday to Daft Punk's new single (featuring Pharrell Williams) called "Get Lucky"
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! Another New Song By The National!
I feel kinda goofy for posting back-to-back new songs by The National…but I'm getting really hyped about their new album, Trouble Will Find Me, which hits the street on May 21st. Another new song was posted out on YouTube yesterday called "Don't Swallow the Cap". Let's give it a listen and put Friday in the right direction.
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! The National Strikes My Fancy
So we have a little under two months until the latest National album, Trouble Will Find Me, hits the street (May 21st), and I'm getting anxious. I adore The National and if I could have sex with anyone's voice, it would be Matt Berninger's voice…his…his voice is pure moonlight. Anyways, enough of the lovefest, let's listen to one of the songs that will be featured on their new album, "I Need My Girl".
Happy Friday!

Nov. 20, 2006
Lipscomb golf coach Buddy Harston qualified over the weekend for the Champions Tour.
The Champions Tour was formerly known as the Senior PGA Tour and just completed its 27th season.
Harston finished 27th, shooting a 4-over 292 for four rounds at the TPC-Eagle's Trace Golf Course in Coral Springs, Fla. The top 30 players qualify for the tour.
The top 30 finish expands Harston's chances for making the field for a Champions Tournament. Each Monday of a tournament week Harston will be able to play for one of nine tournament spots. In the past he has been able to play for one of two openings.
Harston advanced to the finals after finishing 10th In a regional qualifying tournament at Milton, Fla., two weeks ago. It was the first time he had qualified for the finals in four years of competition.
The top 23 p[layers from the Milton regional tournament advanced to the finals. There were 90 golfers competing for the 30 spots at the finals.
Harston credited the advice of sports psychologist Dr. Bob Rotella with helping him keep his focus.
"We talked every night," Harston said. "He told me what I had to do was downplay the importance of it. He told me to stay in the present and not get ahead of myself.
"I knew I had to hit each shot. It was par after par. I putted well. I played a steady game. I couldn't worry about the scoreboard. I never checked it. I knew if I played well I would be in the hunt."
Harston, who coaches both the men's and women's teams at Lipscomb, might be the only college coach who is also playing on a professional tour.
Harton's presence on a professional tour also helps promote the Lipscomb program. He always wears a Lipscomb shirt in a tournament and his ability to make the tour curt also is a strong indication that his players are learning from someone who is still competing at a high level.
"I would think this is a boost to the program," Harston said. "People will sse our logo on the courses I play."

TRENTON, NJ — If you were at Newark Liberty International Airport on Monday, March 12 between 12:45 and 9 p.m., you may have been exposed to measles and should contact your health care provider.
The N.J. Department of Health has issued a public health alert after a child with a confirmed case of measles — a highly contagious disease — arrived in Terminal B at Newark Liberty International Airport from Brussels and departed for Memphis from Terminal C.
The child was infectious on March 12 and may have traveled to other areas of the airport.
If you develop symptoms of measles, which could develop as late as April 2, call a health care provider before going to a medical office or emergency department. Special arrangements can be made for evaluation, while also protecting other patients and medical staff from possible infection.
Measles symptoms include rash, high fever, cough, runny nose and red, watery eyes. It can cause serious complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). Measles infection in a pregnant woman can lead to miscarriage, premature birth or a low-birth-weight baby.
Measles is easily spread through the air when someone coughs or sneezes. People can also get sick when they come in contact with mucus or saliva from an infected person.
New Jersey residents identified as potentially exposed on the ill individual's flights are being notified by their local health department.
If you have been exposed, you are at risk if you have not been vaccinated or have not had measles.
Two doses of measles vaccine are about 97 percent effective in preventing measles, said state epidemiologist Dr. Christina Tan, M.D. "We urge everyone to check to make sure they and their family members are up-to-date on measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine and all other age-appropriate immunizations. Getting vaccinated not only protects you, it protects others around you who are too young to get the vaccine or can't receive it for medical reasons," she said.
The World Health Organization recommends that adults or adolescents unsure of their immune status who are planning an international trip to get a measles vaccine before traveling, Dr. Tan added.
Information on what to do if you've been exposed to measles is available on the state Department of Health website by clicking here.

Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year generally falls between late January and mid February in the Gregorian calendar. This year, Chinese New Year is on January 23, 2012 (February 3, 2011). It is a highly anticipated holiday for Chinese children for two primary reasons: fireworks and red envelopes! In Chinese tradition, married couples give red envelopes usually filled with money to children. In return, they say an auspicious greeting for good luck before receiving a red envelope.
The amount of money inside each envelope varies with the individual. It can range from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars depending on the relationship and the generosity of the giver. The true value of the red envelope is in the New Year's blessing for an auspicious year and not the monetary value inside the packet. I fondly remember receiving twenty dollars in my red envelope every Chinese New Year. At that time, twenty dollars was impressive to a kid. Now, I cheekily ask my mother if she forgot about inflation. Some unfortunate first hand lessons on red envelope etiquette include:
- Don't open the red envelope in front of the giver
- Don't compare red envelopes in plain sight.
- Don't brag about red envelopes.
- Don't mention inflation to the giver.
Chinese parents continue to give red envelopes to their unmarried adult children. Once married, the roles are reversed and you are expected to hand out red envelopes. Although it hurts your bank account, it can be considered an investment. Red envelopes are a symbol of job luck. By handing out good luck, you are also earning good luck in return. It may be superstitious thinking of the Chinese, but why risk having bad luck throughout the year.
So as the Chinese would say, Gong Xi Fa Cai or Happy Chinese New Year!

Hey genea-philes (that's Kathryn Doyle's Twitter/Facebook moniker), it's Saturday Night -- time for more Genealogy Fun!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:
1) Open your genealogy software program (on your computer or online), and use the Help function to determine how to make a "Problem Report" or "Data Error Report" (or something similar).
2) Create a "Problem Report" or "Data Error Report" in your software for the persons in your tree (either everyone in the tree, or for a selected number of generations of your ancestors.
3) Tell us what type of problems or errors that your report found. Tell us how many errors were found. Tell us what problem or error surprised you.
4) Tell us in a blog post of your own, a comment to this blog post, or a comment on Facebook.
Well, if there's a problem one can have in one's genealogy database, I'm pretty sure I have it. In fact, I probably have a number of them.
I use MyHeritage.com and their associated Family Tree Builder software as my main database. In the Tools Menu, I selected the Tree Consistency Checker tool. It gave me quite a long list of issues I need to eventually resolve. Here's a partial listing of some of the issues:
- Child born after death of parent. I have far too many examples of this one. Now, it's possible for a child to be born after the death of the father, but it's extremely rare for a child to be born after the death of a mother, and it requires a modern medical miracle to make it happen, and then only by minutes.
- Died too old. Yes, this means some people have incorrect death dates, so the software thinks they died well over 100 years old. One example is over 300 years old. I will "resolve" these by working to find the correct death date for them. A few really did live to be that old, and may not be errors!
- Parent too young. The software defaults to a warning at less than 16 years of age for the mother. Now, we all know it's possible that some of those girls had their first a bit younger. But some of mine are certainly errors, as they show as young as 9 years old. Too young to be a realistic possibility. Many show at 14-15 years old, though, which would have been scandalous, but very possible. Again, more research is needed to confirm dates.
- Parent too old. I believe it is unlikely that these women actually gave birth in their late 60's. Even late 40's is stretching things until the recent past when medical technology has allowed for some really radical births.
- Fact occurring after death. This is just plain errors, or poor research and documentation.
- Siblings age. Siblings born too close together. A bit over 9 months is possible, and has been called Irish Twins, which are not really twins at all, but siblings born less than a year apart. Some of mine show 4 or 5 months apart, which really isn't workable. Again, somewhere there was sloppy or missing research and documentation work done.
- Married too young. Sometimes people married young. But I highly doubt this many married as young as 12-14 years of age.
- Maiden name similar to married name. Usually this is identical, from the names being input into the software incorrectly. Someone (me) put in the married name where the maiden name should have gone.
- Siblings with the same first name. Actually, this may NOT be an error! It may be a case of one sibling having died in infancy or early childhood, and the parents used the name again on a later child. This was not uncommon. But it bears checking to be sure. The software is alerting me to a potential issue that should be verified.
- Inconsistent last name spelling. Again, this may not be an error. The further back we go, the more creative the spellings of names were.
- Siblings with different last names. In this day of broken homes and life partners and such, this is actually becoming too commonplace. Sometimes the names get changed, but sometimes not.
I'm contemplating starting a new tree in another software, and being much more stringent about what data gets put in there, requiring much better documentation of myself. I admit most of the errors in my data are from sloppy research and poor or lacking documentation at an earlier stage of my genealogical hobby, and it will take me a lot of work to get it fixed. For you people new to genealogy, this is why some of the oldsters harp on citations and documentation all the time, they want to spare you the chore of going back over your data to fix the problems and fill in the holes later.

Why are we here, what happened?
Forty two.
Overseas until the end of August.

About 24,000 years ago our species, Homo sapiens were not alone in the world, our closest relatives the Neanderthals(Homo neanderthalensis) were still well and alive. The so-called 'hobbit' found in Indonesia might also have been a member of the genus Homo, and supposedly survived until as recently as 12,000 years ago.
So why did they die and we survive? Did infections, disease or radical shifts in their environments kill them off? Or did our species do away with them? Some evidence exists for both scenarios, but no conclusion is agreed upon
what do You think?
This is a theory that I've learnt in Biochemistry.
Our species was able to survive because we've developed this massive brain... this is believed to be caused by our ancestors eating a lot of fish.
And as you know fish contain a lot of Omega-3 fatty acids which is crucial to brain development in adolescents. So this Omega-3 is responsible for the bigger brain size in humans.
Bigger brain means that we're able to build tools more efficiently and communicate with one another more effectively.
Whereas the Neanderthals did not develop the same size of brain and were probably hunted down by wolves or tigers or possibly even modern humans might have killed them off.

damn it Grif, get out of here and go play with your make believe pumas and walruses!

Evolution happened, then progressive de-evolution. I certainly refuse to believe human beings are at the top of the line... We're the worst.

It seems there was interbreeding with Neanderthal and Denisovans (discovered only two years ago). It was in order to get the haplo something or other that would help the later generations of humans who got out of Africa stave off diseases unknown to them. Denisovan's were supposedly quite large judging from the teeth found.
It's said that Europeans have up to 3% neanderthal DNA and modern folk around Indonesia, Philippines and Fiji with the highest concentration in native populations in Australia and Papua New Guinea having up to 6% Denisovan DNA.
Further it's said that Europeans who migrated to Australia and got down with the natives are purportedly to have both neanderthal and Denisovan DNA in them.
They still remain with us; barely, but they are with us.
Humans of bygone times gone extinct... I reckon they're still thriving around but live like mole people underground along with countless others. And will one day pop out.
I shall GB...Sorry not enough of it apparently. My word will be made better....
We were created by aliens known as " engineers" and our purpose is to die.

Stuff happened.

The human race was created by extraterrestrial/extra dimensional beings.
And for anyone that says that Neanderthals had smaller brains and were less intelligent than modern humans are wrong. Neanderthals had larger brains for their size which means they are likely more intelligent than modern humans. They were also massively stronger than modern humans.
There is new evidence that Neanderthals had culture, writing, and language. Everything we know about the history of the human race is wrong.
My eyes hurt.
Life is full of shit but it's the delicious part that makes it worth it.
Waiting for my buds to add me up in my contact.. deleting this one soon
Out competition. Also some Neanderthals did survive in that they passed some of their genetic material down through us.
It was a magical floating man in the sky.

Norma, I'll address issues about Joey's and Papa's in this post.Joey's...Your pics tell the story. The pies you show from Joey's don't look like the one I had there in June 2011. In fact, they look great. I may have to try Joey's again. I must have hit them on a bad day. The other Joey's issue about cleanliness, I agree with you the place is very clean and I loved the atmosphere. My complaint was that he was folding pizza boxes and the bottom box was sitting on the floor. Even with a clean place, I never want to see a pizza box sitting on the floor. Papas...I ate at Papa's just one time about 1 year ago. I thought the pie was exceptionally good and it was not burnt on the bottom as your pics show. My only complaints about Papa's was the lack of secure parking and the drinks were too small. Two drinks would have been too much and one drink was not quite enough. So I think the lesson learned is that we can't totally base our opinions on just one visit to any pizza shop because it seems none of them are consistent in their quality controls. It might even be helpful to mention the day and time of our visit because quality might depend upon who's baking the pie. In other words, a day shift might yield different pizza than an evening shift. Anyway, next time in the Trenton Area, I hope you get to try Delorenzos', and Corleones. Corleone's has one unique feature... a free bag of Zeppoles with each order! ---pete---
Norma,I feel like I have already been to Trenton! Much more in-depth than what I learned watching "Pizza Cuz", but I would not have expected anything diferent from you!Thanks again for the great write-ups!John K
Norma,Do you know the size of the pizza you had at Rinaldi's and were you able to learn what size dough ball was used to make that pizza? And was any sugar used in the dough? And do you know the type of yeast used?Peter
As not to hi-jack this thread, I'm starting a new one on the topic of pizza quality & consistency.How to ensure the pizza you order is top quality?http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,25321.new.html#new---pete---
Norma,This is a really great, fun writeup you've done about your recent trip to Trenton and the pies you and Bill ate/saw. Nice writing and nice eye-spying! Please excuse a stupid question; but is Trenton the only place that puts cheese on a "tomato pie"? Thanks! Bob
Great posts Norma. All these years ( 25 or so ) when I needed pizza for friend's , poker, kids etc , and can't fire the oven, my go-to pie is a long term corner take out shop in Roxborough (above Manyunk) , Alex's. They clearly make a Trenton style tomato pie, virtually identical.They would use a pastic plant watering spout to pour on the sauce, not a cruet, but the same general technique. I now have a much better appreciation for the lineage and history of the Trenton style Tomato pie. Perhaps the forum can add a new Trenton Style to the varieties under discussion. Perry
Bob,Thanks! Your question isn't stupid. Mack's in Wildwood and Manco & Manco are also tomato pies in my opinion. I'm sure there are others as well. Even the local Papa Dino's near me applies the sauce and cheese about the same.Norma
OK Norma thank you. I just thought a tomato pie was the ones I see here that just have tomato sauce on it...usually see some garlic slivers on it too. I wonder when the Trenton folks started the name "tomato pie" when it has cheese on it and what the cheese less ones are called(not a cheese less NP marinara pie) .
Thanks Pete! I think you might get a lot of replies about how different pizzerias aren't always consistent.
Norma, at Papa's you received a sub-standard/over baked pie. Before you ordered, did you say anything about your great interest in pizza making, or did you say all that stuff after you received your order. I ask because I'm trying to determine whether the pizza chef gave you any special treatment or was the pie you received just their standard service but they messed up a bit. Also, what was PAPA's reaction to all the pics you took?---pete---
