"Drink like you give a damn" is a trademark of Etica
German, tied for my best friend in the whole world, is a life-long political activist, born in Mexico. He currently works in D.C. where he is the National Chair for the League of United Latin American Citizens' Immigrant Affairs Commission. His prime mandate is immigration and human rights. Oh yeah and he's also a member of the Crew.
German commented on the Crew a couple days back, asking for a list of Fair Trade Wine and Organic Wine, available in the US. I have read about this topic off and on and have tasted some organic wine in the past but I have never purchased any Fair Trade Wine, so I decided to take up the challenge and research. First let me issue a quick disclaimer. As the editor of the Crew I intend to remain as objective and impartial as possible. With this post I simply aim to introduce the Crew to the world of Fair Trade Wine, Organic Wine and while I'm at it, Biodynamic Wine. Although the latter two are really not at all political, the concept of fair trade is a very important and emotional issue for many people, on both sides of the coin. So whichever political slant you may have, please at least read this post as an opportunity to further explore wine and for some of you, this will be a platform to get involved in a cause that may be of interest.
Fair Trade Wine
For many people the concept of free trade is simply not enough with reports of immigrant worker abuse and even deaths, even throughout the vineyards of California. To put this in perspective 15 farm workers have died due to heat-related incidents in California since 2003. (Source: Organic Consumers Association) Exactly where the blame should lie i'll leave up to the individual. However, as a result of issues like this, the idea of "fair trade" has taken hold. Fair trade guarantees that immigrant and low-skilled workers receive livable wages and equal opportunities. There is also an emphasis on sustaining local environments and communities and empowering marginalized workers.
Fair Trade Wine is still a relatively new concept. South Africa, Chile and Argentina have led the movement, dating back to 2003, and are still the only countries certified to produce Fair Trade Wine. Wines marked as Fair Trade Wine must be certified by the Fairtrade Labeling Organization (FLO). Fair Trade Wine has been available for over 5 years in Europe; however, availability is very limited in the United States market. Importers and retailers must pay a premium of 10 cents per bottle on Fair Trade Wine. This money is used for community development within the producing country. (Source: Michelle Locke, Associated Press reporter)
Some Fair Trade Wine available in the US includes: Live-A-Little from Stellar Organics in South Africa (Whole Foods Market and Publix Super Markets), Wandering Grape from Argentina and South Africa (Target), Neu Direction from Argentina (Sam's Club), Melania and Taborga from Viña Lomas de Cauquenes in Chile. Additionally, one source for finding Fair Trade Wine, at least in Minnesota and Colorado, is Etica. The only rating I could find on any of these bottles was the 2004 Melania Maule Valley Colección Especial Merlot. Wine Spectator rated this wine an 82, noting "Dusty tannins support modest plum and tobacco flavors. Slightly firm finish." Not great but certainly not bad if this is a cause that you support.

Organic and Biodynamic Wine
Regarding the next issue don't worry I will be much briefer, especially since the topic is not at all new. A buzz word for all food and beverage products for over a decade now has been "organic" and additionally in the world of agriculture, many speak of "biodynamics".
The Organic Wine Journal is a great source for finding and learning about organic wine. Basically organic wine comes from grapes that are grown without the influence of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. For example sulfur, 100% natural, can be sprayed once or twice a year, to effectively combat bugs, instead of spraying deadly chemicals as often as 6 times a year. Additionally, through the vinification process, there should be as little manipulation as possible, limiting the techniques of reverse osmosis, over filtration, and flavor additives. And some wine makers opt for using wild yeasts, instead of commercial varieties. (Sources: Organic Wine Journal and Green America)
For a complete list of organic producers, please click on the "wineries" link on the Organic Wine Journal web site
Biodynamic wine is even a step beyond organic wine, taking a spiritual and holistic view of agriculture. The technique is related to the concept of anthroposophy; first coined by Rudulf Steiner. Biodynamic wine making treats the vineyard as a self-contained organism. Emphasis is placed on the integration between the vines and their surroundings, including the workers, as well as on the recycling of nutrients, soil maintenance, and the overall health of the vineyard. Some techniques implemented include the use of manures and crop rotation. The lunar calendar and celestial influences on the terroir also play a major role in the viticulture. (Source: Wikipedia)
I imagine that some more conservative-minded people maybe be asking theirself right now "man what are you smoking?" But just to put this into perspective, Opus One, of the Robert Mondavi and Lafite Rothschilde wine dynasties, is a biodynamically produced wine. And the list of top crus goes on. In fact biodynamic viticulture requires a closer focus on the terroir and overall care of the vineyard. This close attention to every last detail quite often leads to wines that outperform many non-biodynamic wines in blind tastings.

Misusing The Commerce Clause
When questioned about the authority of the onerous, overreaching laws they've passed — laws like Obamacare, Wall Street reform and bank bailouts — members of Congress have cited the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.
That clause, found in Article 1, Section 8, reads:
The Congress shall have Power… To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes…From our country's founding into the 1930s, courts ruled that the Commerce Clause limited the ability of the Federal government to hinder the freedom of individuals, according to Andrew P. Napolitano, in his book, The Constitution in Exile. But that changed in 1937 as Congress continued to push New Deal legislation that increased the power of government and "(The U.S. Supreme Court) simply abrogated its role and stopped enforcing the Constitution's limits on federal power."
Since 1937, Congress and the courts have continually expanded government and that has resulted in less freedom for Americans. Now Congress believes everything it passes can affect commerce and therefore falls under its authority under the Commerce Clause.
But James Madison, the father of the Constitution and the fourth President, would not agree. He wrote:
"It is very certain that [the commerce clause] grew out of the abuse of the power by the importing States in taxing the non-importing, and was intended as a negative and preventive provision against injustice among the States themselves, rather than as a power to be used for the positive purposes of the General Government."As November — and another election day — approaches, Americans need to thoroughly examine their current Representative in the House and their Senator and determine whether he or she has voted in a way that expands governmental overreach, or in a way that upholds the Constitutional principles of the Founding Fathers.
If that Representative is found worthy, vote him or her back into office. If not, find an alternative. If your Senator passes the test and is on the ballot in November — a third of them are up for re-election — then re-elect him or her. But if he or she has failed the test, examine the alternative there.
Hopefully the alternative candidate will understand that Americans are tired of a Congress that grows government into an ever larger freedom-crushing leviathan and apparently doesn't understand that the Constitution is there to limit government to its 18 enumerated powers. Anything beyond that is not Constitutional and should be abolished.

I am nowhere near creating a seating chart, but from what I've heard, it's one of the most tedious tasks a bride and groom have to endure and making sure guests mesh well together can take hours of deliberation. With only one opportunity to get it right, designing a seating chart that pleases everyone is worth all the extra time and aggravation it takes to create.
If your RSPV's are flooding in and you are ready to conquer the chart, before you start writing down names and table numbers, visualize your venue! Creating a floor plan of your space will allow you to picture where everything is set up. From the dance floor to the DJ and speakers, being able to visualize will help you seat the older crowd in a quieter part of the room and the party animal's right where they belong – close to the dance floor! If you need assistance or want to check out a seating chart template check outWedding Wire or Wedding Mapper for help.
Figuring out where to seat your family at your reception can become a task within itself. To makes sure your family is not seated where you know they'll loathe or next to a family member or friend you know they hate, start with your closest relatives and bridal party first, and then fill the gaps with guests that have similar personalities. Try not to make your single or married friends feel like they have the plaque by seating them all at one table instead mix them up and seat them where you know they'll feel comfortable and motivated to mingle. It's also a good idea to keep one table empty so vendors and any unexpected guests can sit and enjoy the night. For more seating etiquette suggestions check out Martha Stewart Weddings.
Even though seating charts may seem insignificant, having a plan will keep everything running smoothly. Have you ever attended an event with open seating? It can get messy. If you're looking to simplify the task, assign tables for your guests and allow them to choose where they want to sit at that particular table. Check with your catering manager first if you decide to go this route, this might work best if you are serving only one entrée during the reception.
When you finally figure out where to seat everyone, the next step is to determine how to get them there. Here are a few unique ideas on how to guide your guests to their tables.

Three general areas of know-ledge
are examined in the Area
Tests. These fields, Social Science,
Humanities, and Natural Science,
are each covered in separate tests
of the series.
Social Science questions probe
a student's grasp of the broad
field of social science rather than
specialized areas. Understanding of
the nature and history of social
institutions is tested along with
ability to employ these under-standings
in comparisions of cause
and effect, trends, and points of

Senate Elections Provoke Presidential Candidates Face Issues
Discussion On Leadership
Senate elections are fast approaching, with two declared
candidates for the presidency, Jim Keim, and Kathy Harvie,
and the other elective leadership positions becoming well
filled with declared candidates. Since it will be the persons
here chosen by the student body that will lead it through the
coming year, a treatise on what constitutes a good leader may
be in order to at least encourage careful consideration if not
illumine our thought.
A discussion of leadership qualities may not only focus
attention on the declared candidates, but may save the student
body from the perennial "apathy" in student government
which may be directly correlated to the leaders involved.
(This was alluded to quite specifically in the editorial and a
letter by Mr. Fred Lund appearing in the February 23 issue
of the CLARION.)
There are many common theories regarding leadership.
Some say leaders are born, not made. Others say leadership
is a phenomenon closely related to the situation or group
in which the leader functions. As situations differ the de-mands
for leadership differ. However, a common result of
either theory is the fact that leaders are individuals whose
behavior stimulates the patterning of the behavior of the
Thomas Gordon states that an "individual in positions of
leadership needs to have as his basic aim the tapping and
developing of the creative resources of his group members.
He needs to believe in the sharing of his leadership functions."
Tead in The Art of Leadership states, 'Leadership is the activity
of influencing people to cooperate toward some goal which
they come to find desirable."
Maurice Woolf talks about four basic types of leaders
which he terms the "hard-boiled" autocrat, the benevolent
autocrat, the laissez-faire, and the democratic.
The "hard-boiled" autocrat achieves goals by giving
orders, assigning tasks, making decisions without consulting
the group, and then checking periodically to see if the work
is being done. The system is basically built on fear of expo-sure
or punishment.
People react generally in three ways to this leader. 1. They
become submissive and dependent. 2. They become openly
hostile and express resentment and may fight for reform.
3. They feel hostile and turn this into depression and lack of
hope for the future.
The benevolent autocrat knows what is best for the
group. He is often soft-spoken, reasoning with the group to
bring them to his point-of-view. In the alternatives he presents,
his ideas always seem the best, and no one would choose any
other. He praises people when they agree with him, but has
no pangs of conscience about withholding information from
the group.
He may also disregard information that doesn't agree
with his plans. He often is characterized by saying, 'We want
to find out what the group thinks in this situation," or,
"Now let's be democratic." But his actions don't correlate
with his words.
The group reacts generally in such a way that there is
loss of motivation, resigned submissiveness, and general apa-thy.
The laissez-faire leader seldom offers suggestions to the
group. Everyone is free to express himself. No clear-cut ideas
or goals are defined for the group. He always wants to be
cordial, is generally unagressive, and is quite the opposite to
the "hard-boiled" autocrat.
Very little is accomplished under this type of leadership.
The group loses morale and may fall apart. This leadership
also opens the door wide for anarchy.
The democratic leader believes in the ability of the group
to analyze and discuss problems freely and arrive at sensible
decisions. He uses his position to coordinate the work of the
group and keep them oriented toward group goals using all
the resources of the group. He is wary about small minorities
using special strategy to accomplish their own ends. He always
wants full and adequate coverage and discussion of issues
with a throrough understanding of them.
This leadership leads to independent thought, considera-tion
for varying points of view, and respect for the opinions
and work of every member. Progress is oriented toward group
goals with action following group decision. There is also a
general work enthusiasm with an increase in both the quantity
and quality of production.
Examining Bethel student government over the past
years, we have found traces from each of these categories,
most of them less than democratic. How best may we direct
our choice for this year? In choosing our leaders we must
carefully consider the leadership qualities they possess and
evaluate these qualities upon our criterion of what leader-ship
will best serve ourselves and the entire student body.
Frank states the concept well. 'Modern leadership . . .
is no longer the expression of an aloof domineering person,
but rather as a shared, dynamic relationship in which . . .
leadership cooperates by evoking from the group a circular,
reciprocal, and creative process. Thus leadership emerges as
the way groups of persons today seek their common purpose,
not for or under their leader, but with their leader."
Dear Voters,
Hi! This is Kathy Harvie. Jim
Keim and I are presidential can-didates.
We've gotten together and
decided that all this usual election
fuss that creates enemies and fric-tion
and misery has got to go.
Actually we figure this cam-paign
could be a great deal of fun
if we just go into the whole elec-tion
with the right attitudes. We
decided to start out by meeting
to decide on election issues.
Think there are any issues or
changes needed on this campus?
I was absolutely positive that I
had an issue with which Jim
would disagree.
Confidently I sprang the ques-tion:
"Jim, what would you think
of having Freshman Welcome
Week in the Twin Cities instead
of at Big Trout?" He thoughtfully
stared at the wall, arched his eye-brows,
and brightly said "Say, that
sounds like a good idea!"
"Scratch one debate," thought I.
"Yeh!" he mused. "They could
get acquainted with Twin Cities
e n t e r t ainment opportunities.
Bethel could get a special rate
for a young pops concert. We
could take them on an afternoon
tour of the Twin Cities. Maps
of course should be handed out."
"Um-hum," I agreed. "In addi-tion
the transportation should cost
less, faculty members could be in-troduced,
inconvenience of food
purchasing and preparation could
be handled by the Bethel dining
hall, and we wouldn't have to rent
Big Trout."
"Well, it looks as if we don't
have a debate issue there, Kathy,"
Jim commented.
"Maybe not between you and
I," I replied, "but there are
some students on campus who
are going to oppose changing
tradition. Perhaps we should
have a discussion to explain our
positions and an open forum to
provide for questions from the
"Agreed," said Jim.

"How many times have you ceased to like someone?" he asked.
"As many as I've ever liked. My friends pass from my embracing
of them; I embrace their shadows."
"None remains?"
"None. Why should any? Each has one, two, possibly three things
to say. After that, it's slightly varied repititions which they present,
proudly or apologetically, to the friendship. Let them tell me at once,
so that we part pleasantly; if they resist, I tear it from them.
Why won't a person reveal himself in a five minute speech and
take no more of his friend's time; indeed, dismiss his friend after the
speech and find some new one to benefit from the recitation."
"You preclude the possibility of ferment from many years' friend-ship.
Have you never experienced a\ friendship which grew and grew
upon itself?"
"How does a man grow fat eating his own flesh? After such a
length of time, the person is surely an uninspiring extension of one-self.
But I've kept constant company — friends who were uncoopera-tive,
withholding that which would satisfy me, the thing they had
which I had not.
A few who did not offer up their essence in the prescribed period
of time, I persisted after for the value of that unyeilding essence. But
I changed my mind: one day is more than ample time in which to run
a friendship's course. He who keeps his silence past the first day is not ,
worth pursuing.
It accounts for the way you looked at me. You thought I'd spoken.
I thought you had forgot those words which you possess outside my
mind or tucked them damply in a corner where they have mildewed
quite away. We released each other curtly from that sanctioned bon-dage,
and rightly so.
Why should we come discuss it now? Have you recovered that
which could attract me, or I which finds you fascinated?"
"I have many friends, all living past one hour or day, who yet
excite me."
"Their success in keeping you dissatisfied is the explanation.
Dissatisfaction is in the definition of exciting relationships. Complacency
is a common element in unstirred but continuing ones — those of
comfortable friends. We have assimilated these friends' uniqueness
and carry them for sentiment's sake. Until they hinder us, and then
all thought of sentiment is gone. We trample them.
"Here the final test of completed exploitation: If you abandon
a friend who threatens your security without regret. Those who know
too much of us from our utilization of them, we destroy, crush; we
negate any notion of sparing them."
He spoke slowly. "Things have a way of turning around in the
middle on us. It's ourselves first and last. A neat parodox that we must
rid ourselves of those we pursued so ardously."
"Then you agree. What attracts us in another is his bit of per-ception
and possession outside our reach. We gain a friend for what
he has beyond us. A man doesn't carry on his clandestine activities
for sex alone. Not if he calls her 'friend' and she functions as one.
"Besides that drive to supplement ourselves, what's friendship
but a common place and a scrap of time and a few paltry half-formed
mutual professions of good-will."
He sighed. "The satisfaction we derive is a filling in of gaps we
sometimes refuse to admit exist. On those rare occasions we afford
ourselves honesty, we know this is the way the world runs. Friendship
is exploitation. God, we are heathen."
She laughed. "You are, not I. I say the words, but you believe them."
Baseball Squad Plans Spring Season;
Coach Cox Presents Optimistic View
by Ron Harris
Franklin D. Roosevelt, whom many people regard as one of the
greatest Presidents in American History, utilized the slogan of "A New
Deal" when seeking the office of the Presidency in the 1930's. The na-tion
was in desperate straits and being cognizant of this he offered the
people a New Deal, which would once again provide them with jobs,
economic stability and most importantly, a sense of security.
John F. Kennedy seized the slogan "A New Frontier" when aspir-ing
for the nation's top office in 1960. He had grown weary of the
complacency of Americans and stated that he wanted "the torch to be
passed on to a new generation of Americans." The New Frontier was
to consist of a change in attitude, a time when the United States
would resume its first place position.
It is true that both of the aforementioned are an over-simplifica-tion,
but for all practical purposes, it suffices here to recognize that
in each of the above instances slogans served to unite people
behind their cause. The slogan was identified with the man, the man
with the party and the party with the people. This is one useful
function of slogans.
It would be well if here at Bethel such a slogan were existent not
so much in little deeds as in spirit. Perhaps we could attach a name
to it . . . maybe Wider Horizons. It would consist of the kind of visions
that make us aware of the difficulties, problems and hardships of
others. It is only in so doing that we will receive that inkling of under-standing
of our fellow students and in some way be able to help them.
This in a sports column? There is really no rational reason other
than to say that I have detected a unique fellowship among athletes
and would like to see it perpetuated throughout the entire student body.
Athletes are of that curious breed which forms a certain strata
of the social life of a college campus. Intermingle with them, and
you will discover they are more understanding of one another than
you are of your lab partner, floor counselor or any other friend.
They understand how it feels to get jarred on a play, sprain an ankle
or play ball with jammed fingers—mainly because they have prob-ably
had a similar experience. Strangely, this understanding carries
over from the gridiron to the classroom to personal problems. This
understanding gives way to patience and finally to toleration.
The goal of our Christian lives should be to serve Jesus Christ.
The supreme test of this servitude is perhaps not in how well we under-stand
our fellow man as how much of an attempt we make to do so.
"Wider Horizons" could affect all of us.

Peter Traykovski, a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, outfitted a catamaran kayak with scientific equipment to survey the ever-shifting sands of the New River Inlet in North Carolina.

The best-laid plans of scientists often go awry when they actually get into the field.
"That's when designing an experiment becomes adapting an experiment," said Peter Traykovski, an oceanographer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).
Traykovski had to adapt earlier this year when he confronted one of the most dynamic places on Earth—the New River Inlet in North Carolina. The inlet is a narrow, meandering chokepoint where the river and the Atlantic Ocean collide, where waves, winds, tides, and currents constantly jostle one another in unpredictable ways.
Traykovski and WHOI colleague Rocky Geyer had planned on using an underwater robotic vehicle to survey the sandy seabed. But shoals in the inlet proved too shallow and dynamic at low tides to accommodate the vehicle, so Traykovski had to improvise. He bought a commercial catamaran kayak, rigged scientific gear onto it, and navigated himself into the inlet to get detailed sonar images of the rippling sands.
Traykovski was among researchers from several institutions who have converged on New River Inlet in a five-year project funded by the Office of Naval Research to study the complex dynamics that move water and sand in inlets and river mouths. The inlet, just downstream of the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, is a classic testbed to begin to understand similar places around the world where the Navy might have to navigate amphibious landings, dredge shipping channels, and make plans to mitigate potential pollution spills.
To this environmental battlefield, the scientists brought an arsenal of instruments, including ground-based, airborne, and satellite cameras and radars; boats; and amphibious and autonomous underwater vehicles. WHOI scientists Britt Raubenheimer and Steve Elgar joined colleagues from Scripps Institution of Oceanography to deploy dozens of underwater metal frames throughout the inlet, each equipped with instruments to measure waves, currents, the water's turbidity, and other features over a full 30-day tidal cycle. Scripps scientists dispensed harmless pink dye into the inlet and tracked how it flowed and dispersed.
Traykovski studied how currents and tides move sand on the seabed. While others pursued bigger pictures, Traykovski focused on the small scale—sand ripples that shift 3 to 13 feet. To that end, he deployed underwater devices he called "quadpods" in the inlet. The tops of these 7-foot-tall, four-footed frames were submerged by 2 feet at high tide and exposed by 2 feet at low tide. They were equipped with current meters to measure water flow and turbulence and downward-aimed sonars trained on 108 square feet of sand. Sonar images, taken every 30 minutes, showed details of how and why sand moves back and forth as tides and currents move over it (see video).
"Then we needed to know how this representative small scale fits into the bigger picture," Traykovski said—that is, how these small-scale sand shifts result in large-scale changes that move and shape sandbars and beaches, which, in turn, can redirect currents and waves.
That's where Traykovski's one-of-a-kind, makeshift vehicle came in. He equipped his catamaran kayak with two types of sonar and a high-resolution GPS and traversed the inlet channel, grabbing precisely located sonar images of seabed sand patterns as he went. With its two-horsepower motor and catamaran design, he could operate if breaking waves did not exceed two feet.
But in the roiling inlet, 100 yards wide and 3 to 20 feet deep, waves sometimes rose 3 to 6 feet.
"The wave energy coming in against strong outgoing tides creates very rough and turbulent conditions," Traykovski said. "Every tidal cycle—every six hours—I found sand movement equivalent to what I've seen during big storms off Martha's Vineyard. The water flowing through the narrow inlet creates strong currents, about 3 knots, and the potential for rapid sand movement. That explains why they have to dredge the inlet constantly."
Scientists bring an arsenal of instruments to study the dynamic interactions among waves, currents, tides, and moving sand.

More Yoko Shimomura goodness. I approve.So now Peach gets kidnapped through Luigi's dreams. Another fantastic way for her to get whisked away... Ooh, maybe Luigi secretly dreams to have Peach all by himself and his relationship with Daisy was fake.
^ I was about to ask if the DS game was good. I saw it around on sale quite a bit but was never sure whether it was worth grabbing.
Mario is one of the best RPG series of all time. I say this without irony. SMRPG, the three PM games (four if you count SPM, but that's basically a platformer), and the three M&L games. All excellent. No duds in the bunch except... maybe Sticker Star? But even then I'm not sure. But anyhow, Klyde, Thousand-Year Door is on the meaty side (~30 hours) and Superstar Saga is a little lighter (~20 hours). Both are excellent, but I would say that TTYD is heavier in dialog and world-building while SSS is heavier on crazy platforming trickiness. Both games are excellent in their own right, so I guess in the long run I'd recommend them both. BTW, when I plan out what games I want to play and would like to know how long or short a game is, this is a pretty good resource: http://www.howlongtobeat.com/. I'm weird and I plan out my backlog in advance. HLTB helps.

Like the Vinturi, this Nuvo Vino is only designed for people who really like wine. Why? Because who else would spend $45 on a IR Wine Thermometer that's designed not to touch the wine when taking its temperature.
After getting your wine at just the right warmness or coldness, you're free to chug it down and realize you spent fifty bones on this thing. Seek help, wino.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Beautiful Creatures is based on the best-selling paranormal romance by Kami Garcia and Maragaret Stohl. Teens and mature tweens, especially fans of the four-part book series, will be eager to see the tale brought to life on the big screen. The movie has even more romance (including kissing, making out, and seduction) than in the book, with the central couple moving out of "friends" mode faster here than they did in the original story. Language includes "s--t" and "ass," and there's gun and magical violence that kills one beloved character and injures a bunch of mean teens. Discussion fodder includes some messages about the dangers of being close minded.
- Positive messages
- Positive role models
- Violence

I'm having a stupid problem trying to clear the clipboard in C# 3.5 on Windows 7 - every time I do this the explorer crashes.
At first I didn't know my application is causing this so I spent about a week and a half trying to find the problem.
In the end, a guy from MS forum "remembered" that Windows 7 has a bug that causes explorer.exe to crash every time you try to manipulate the clipboard :|. Apparently Firefox had the same problem a while ago.
At first I tried the simple way: Clipboard.Clear();
Since this was causing the crash I decided to add a control var so that I can check if the clipboard is empty or not:
bool full_clipboard_view = false; private void txtLic_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { if (txtLic.Text != "") { full_clipboard_view = true; this.txtLic.SelectAll(); Clipboard.SetText(this.txtLic.Text); } else MessageBox.Show("Please select an item first!"); } private void btnClose_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (full_clipboard_view == true) Clipboard.Clear(); this.Close(); }
This also didn't solve my problem so I decided to suspend this part for awhile.
Now I'm almost done with this app and I still cant find a way to fix this.
Did anyone encounter this problem before?

Iron Man 3 (Movie Review)
05.4.2013 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
Headed to the movies today? Is 'Iron Man 3' in IMAX 3D on your menu list? If you are 25 and under then you are going to absolutely go bonkers for it. But if you are over 30, the fireworks will be a bit more restrained. You see, when one gets older, kid jokes are only so funny. You need a much more layered joke or gag to trigger the laughs. 'Iron Man 3' as fun and funny as it is, will do a better job playing to the teenage and young adult crowds than the mature grown ups preferring to see another sequel of The Dark Knight. Read More

Kobe Bryant scored just eight points with six assists and five turnovers (four turnovers in the first few minutes of the game). Xavier Henry scored 18 off the bench.
Atlanta hit 11-27 from three-point range (40.7%) and 48.9% from the field. The Lakers shot 47.6% from the field, but their issues were primarily on the defensive end in the second half.
The Hawks made up a sizable halftime deficit on the glass to finish with 15 offensive rebounds (44 overall) to the Lakers' 12 (31 overall).
With the loss, the Lakers dip to 11-13. They'll travel to Memphis to play the Grizzlies on Tuesday night.
The Hawks (13-12) host the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday.
Hawks 82, Lakers 73 (end of third quarter)

Weather permitting, Monday, October 15, MoDOT and its contractor, Lehman Construction, plan to begin working on miscellaneous repairs and rehabilitation work to the deck of the Cuivre River Bridge on Route H in Lincoln County. Beginning on Monday at 7 a.m. work will begin and the bridge will be closed for up to three to four weeks.
The repairs include the removal and replacement of the deteriorated pavement in acute areas at the edge of the bridge deck. "For worker safety and to speed up repairs it is necessary to close the bridge," said Erik Maninga, MoDOT's Area Engineer. "The current load posting on the bridge will not change as a result of this work, however the work is necessary to keep the bridge open to traffic," Maninga added.
Message boards will be placed alerting motorists of the upcoming closure. Traffic will be detoured over MO 47, US 61 and Route E. "We are working with county officials, schools, emergency responders and local media as we plan for the repairs and road closure," explained Maninga. The project is expected to be completed the second week of November.
If you have questions, please call MoDOT toll-free customer service number at 1-888 ASK MODOT (275-6636).

In the shadow of Osaka Castle, many of the world's greatest jazz musicians performed for the 3rd annual International Jazz Day concert. (Osaka was known as Japan's "jazz mecca" in the mid-1920s.) Sponsored by UNESCO and chaired by UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Herbie Hancock, the event opened with the haunting and raw sound of Steve Turre's trademark conch shells and Japanese drumming led by master Taiko drummer Shuichi Hidano.
Hancock, who also played a duet with saxophonist Wayne Shorter (Dutch composer Michiel Borstlap's "Memory of Enchantment"), said, "Jazz is a model for democracy and diplomacy."
UNESCO assistant secretary general Hans d'Orville called jazz "the quintessential soft power of the 21st century."
Hancock reported that viewers were watching the live stream of the concert from 196 countries, and at the South Pole. Astronauts from Expedition 39 aboard the International Space Station sent their weighty (yet weightless) greetings from 260 miles above the earth, to which Hancock replied, "Jazz is truly cosmic!"
The concert is now available on demand at YouTube. (Concert begins about the 30 minute mark.)
Jazz89 KUVO is celebrating International Jazz Day with two concerts broadcast live from the Phyllis A. Greer Performance Studio at the Five Points Media Center (2900 Welton St., Denver, 80205): at 5:00 p.m. the Rich Chiaraluce Quintet, and at 7:00 p.m. the Big Panic Big Band. Details here.

How To Make A Mockery Of Your Own Law School: Sue Your Critics
from the oops dept
"In contrast to their own mission statement, Cooley Law School is now seeking to use its power to stymie the constitutional right of free speech of its own students -- albeit speech that negatively portrays the school consistent with other empirical data," Berkley attorney John Hermann said in the motion, filed on behalf of his client, Rockstar05. "Ironically, Cooley is now the emperor who appears angry at being told he is not wearing any clothes."The school itself publicized this particular lawsuit, as well as a separate lawsuit against some lawyers who claimed to be putting together a class action lawsuit against Cooley over (the lawyers claimed) "manipulating post-graduate employment data and salary info." You can see both complaints embedded below.
I have no idea if the statements made by anyone targeted by Cooley rise to the level of defamation. Certainly many of the statements highlighted could be seen as statements of fact, though many appear to be standard hyperbole from someone who had a negative experience. Still, all of this had me wondering about the Cooley Law School, as I have to admit never having heard of it, so I decided to check it out. The law school's biggest claim to fame appears to be that it has the largest faculty, and if you count all of its various students, the largest student body as well. Bigger is better! But is the school any good?
Well, that's where things get hilarious.
You see, if you look at the various rankings for law schools, Cooley is considered near the bottom of the heap. The US News rankings have put it as a "fourth tier" law school, in the past, and currently has it as "unranked" because it apparently "did not supply enough information to U.S. News to calculate a ranking." But, wouldn't you know it, according to Cooley itself, it's actually the second top ranked school in the country, behind only Harvard.
How's that? Well, you see, Cooley's administration decided to create its own rankings system! A report from last year (at which point Cooley ranked merely #12 on its own ranking criteria, demolished the way Cooley's own rankings system works:
How did they arrive at this order? Cooley can only make this claim by sufficiently broadening the number of factors and then allotting them equal weight. Traditionally, highly important considerations are GPA, LSAT, Bar passage rate, and employment upon graduation. However, in this scheme they are given the same weight as Total Volumes in Library, Total Applications, Total Law School Square Footage, Program Achievement Rating Rank.That blog post then goes on to display how Cooley minimizes the importance of the numbers that actually matter. Meanwhile, it appears that some others were similarly flabbergasted by Cooley Law presenting itself as the 2nd highest ranked law school, based on its own silly rankings. Cooley's own rankings explanation says that they got rid of pesky things like "reputation," and declare that, without question, "bigger is better than smaller" (even though, amusingly, in the same list, they claim that smaller class sizes are better than bigger!).
The thing is, I wouldn't have gone out and learned any of this if Cooley hadn't decided to jump and sue some of its critics. Even if some of the statements turn out to be defamatory, suing your critics is an open invitation for people to take a closer look at you and what you do, and what comes up for Thomas M. Cooley Law School does not look good at all.

Pavel Datsyuk scored Detroit's second power-play goal in the third period and had an assist, lifting the Red Wings to a 3-2 win over the reeling Phoenix Coyotes on Monday.
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) ? Pavel Datsyuk scored Detroit's second power-play goal in the third period and had an assist, lifting the Red Wings to a 3-2 win over the reeling Phoenix Coyotes on Monday.
Datsyuk set up Johan Franzen's tying goal in the second period and beat Coyotes goalie Jason LaBarbera with a one-timer midway through the third period, giving him 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in eight games.
Ian White also had a goal and the Red Wings scored on the power play for the eighth straight game to win for the fifth time in six games.
The Coyotes fell behind early again, lost the lead after fighting back and failed on a chance to tie with about 4 minutes left, when Detroit goalie Jonas Gustavsson stopped Lauri Korpikoski for one of his 29 saves.
Martin Hanzal and Rob Klinkhammer scored for Phoenix, which has lost six straight for the first time since 2009.
Phoenix reached a low point of the season on Friday, losing 2-1 to Vancouver at home for its fifth straight loss.
The frustrated Coyotes spent nearly 25 minutes after the game holding a players-only meeting and grim-faced captain Shane Doan said afterward that every player had to be held accountable.
Phoenix had two days to get things straightened out in practice and vowed to be better.
They weren't early against Detroit, allowing the Red Wings to repeatedly set up in front of LaBarbera's crease in the opening minutes.
White took advantage of the traffic 4 minutes into the game, firing a shot from the point that LaBarbera had trouble seeing.
The Coyotes had a great chance less than a minute later, but, fitting the way things have gone for them lately, David Moss' shot from the right circle hit the post, shot across the crease and bounced off the other post.
But the Coyotes have been a resilient bunch ? they've made the playoffs without an owner three straight years ? and fought back quickly.
Creating good scoring chances and getting some big rebounds off Gustavsson, Phoenix tied the game on a power play midway through the first period on a nifty redirect by Hanzal on a shot by Radim Vrbata.
Klinkhammer scored later in the period on one of multiple rebounds, giving the Coyotes their first lead since beating the Los Angeles Kings 5-2 on March 12.
It didn't last.
Franzen tied it on a power play in the closing seconds of the second period, one-timing a shot from the slot on a pass from Niklas Kronwall.
Datsyuk then put Detroit up with a power-play goal midway through the third period, punching in his 11th of the season on a pass from Henrik Zetterberg behind the net caromed through the crease.
The Coyotes turned up the pressure in a final flurry, but couldn't beat Gustavsson to reach another low point.

As you know this time when we went to Japan i visited very good Sword polisher well i think the best one in Japan.
And i learnd quite a lot from him, first of all i did not know what real polish was hehe. It seems like his swords was just without any scratches at all. Every derection i looked under every light i tried to turn and twist the blade just to spot single scratch even shalow one There was nothing
It was a really a eyer opener how he pulled that off, there was no secrets involved at all just patience and very hard work. He used 5 days just to polish with finger stones and 2 hole days with Nugui
He only worked on one sword a time so imagine 12 hrs every day just rubing with fingerstones for 5 days
When i got home i had a lot of inspiration i have 2 Kato Tamahagene (small swords) what they call them. I thought they was polished very well. But i was wrong hehe
I did not put at all all potential out of those small blades that is for sure. Then i started to polish one side 1 hr every day now for about 2 month
I think i am not finished yet i am still practicing but here is some pics of result.
And here is just a sample how much similar size in Tamahagene finished go for in Japan

Breaking the Mold: de Saisset Features Artists Who See Clay Differently
Marika E. Krause
SANTA CLARA, Calif., January 2, 2013—The de Saisset Museum at Santa Clara University opens the winter season with an exhibition that speaks to the legacy of ceramics in Northern California.
Clay in the Bay, on view January 18 to March 17, 2013, brings together twelve contemporary artists from around the Bay Area who work with clay in diverse ways. The use of clay as a fine art medium has deep roots in Northern California. Once considered a form of craft, it took the ingenuity, creativity, and vision of artists like Robert Arneson and Peter Voulkos to look beyond the medium's utilitarian properties to its expressive qualities. In the decades following, their successors—artists such as Stephen DeStaebler, David Gilhooly, Ron Nagle, and Richard Shaw—continued to stretch the creative boundaries of clay sculpture. Today, the use of the medium as a respected art form continues to thrive.
Through the use of varied techniques the artists featured in the exhibition, many of whom teach at local Universities, transform clay into organic shape, architectural design, and narrative form. For some, it is the sole medium in which they work; for others the ceramic elements are part of a larger whole. Regardless, the works included in the show speak to the incredible versatility of the medium as it is molded, shaped, and otherwise manipulated.
Artists in this exhibition include Bean Finneran, Don Fritz, Francisco "Pancho" Jiménez, Robert Kvenild, David Linger, Spring Montes, Matthew Scheatzle, Nancy Selvin, Ehren Tool, Monica Van den Dool, Jenni Ward, and Stan Welsh.
The museum celebrates the opening of Clay in the Bay on Thursday, Jan. 24 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Many of the artists in the exhibition will be present and available to discuss their work.
On Wednesday, February 27 at 7 p.m., artist Stan Welsh will give a public lecture on his art. The program is co-sponsored by the de Saisset and SCU's Department of Art and Art History.
Artist Nancy Selvin will lecture on Radical Pots: Ceramics in the Bay Area, 1960s Onward on Thursday, March 7 at 7 p.m. She will address the radical departure from the norm that took place in Bay Area ceramic work in the 1960s and discuss how that shift is carried forward in today's clay community.
All events are free and open to the public.
