Back in the 'Burg
Columbia Records exec shares with students
By Evan Dyson ('08)
Years after graduating from JMU, Brian Nolan ('02) has learned that persistence and dedication pay off. Now an executive at Columbia Records, Nolan told his story to a group of nearly 100 students in David Cottrell's 2009 spring semester Music Industry class.
Nolan grew up near Washington, D.C., in Silver Spring, Md., and arrived on campus in 1998, unsure of what path to take. As a sophomore, he began a marketing major with a music industry minor and obtained a promotional internship with Arista Records. With that, he had found his niche.
Though "mundane," the internship provided an inside look at the music industry and the opportunity to gain contacts at Arista, Jive and RCA Records. "Everyone has the potential to help you out, not just the people you're working with," Nolan says.
Through a series of fortunate events, work with an online company led to a chance encounter with an employee at Rawkus Records. The connection landed him a Rawkus internship in 2001. Everything was going well and there was even the promise of a job after graduation. However, after 9/11, Nolan says, Rawkus cut a number of their employees and there was no longer room for him at the label. Disappointed but not deterred, Nolan worked his way through a variety of low-income jobs after graduation, including a stint in the mailroom at Arista Records.
"There are so many different hurdles that knock you down," he says. But determined to work his way up from the bottom, Nolan looked at those experiences as a test of dedication. "It just weeds out all the people who don't really care, and it weeds out the people who aren't really focused."
In 2005, Nolan's boss at an independent promotion company in Baltimore was hired by Sony, Columbia's parent company. Nolan accompanied him to Columbia, where he remains today. Nolan's department is responsible for getting the label's artists on the radio.
After sharing several more stories and dishing advice on how to get ahead in the business, Nolan answered students' questions ranging from internship advice to the future direction of the music industry.
Nolan is optimistic about the future of his business and the job prospects for current students. "I want to tell these kids that I was in their position," says Nolan. "I didn't come from a music industry family. I didn't go to NYU undergrad. You know, it's absolutely possible if you put your mind to it." Nolan credits music professor David Cottrell as an early mentor. "Brian is a hardworking guy and a great example of what students can become," Cottrell says. In 2005, Nolan married JMU alumna Ashley Day ('02), and the couple lives in New York City.

Double Decker Brownies (Sugar Cookie Espresso Brownies with Chocolate Chips)
Did you ever have a brownie epiphany?
One where you stand in the middle of the kitchen with a slightly warm brownie in your hands, crumbs trailing down your face and think "why didn't I try something like this before?"
Even though I have only made these once, these will now become my "go-to" brownie. The ones I'll make for parties and cookouts, the one's I'll change up just a little to make them different for each occasion, the one's I'll bring to you if your sick in bed, or just need a pick me up, the ones that will be requested when I ask "what would you like me to bring?"
The bottom layer is sugar cookie dough, topped with espresso spiked brownies then topped with a boatload of chocolate chips! Brownie nirvana!
I'm already I'm thinking of all kinds of alternative toppings to make with this recipe. Throwing on a little coconut, adding in some nuts, white chocolate chips. Endless possibilities!
AND....they are so easy to make! Bonus!
I baked these late Sunday afternoon as a snack for the boys while they are out on school vacation. It was almost dusk before they were really cool enough to cut into to, so I knew I wouldn't get a decent picture of them that night. I also knew that if I left them on the counter, I risked coming home to an empty pan, so I took a piece of note paper and positioned it down the middle of the pan and wrote on it:
I drew little arrows pointed to the other side of the pan.
It worked! There actually were some left when I got home!
Once the photos were snapped I had 3 teenage boys lurking over them on the plate. Are you done? Can we eat these now?
Yes, they are that good!
Double Decker Brownies (Sugar Cookie Espresso Brownies with Chocolate Chips)
1 (1lb, 1.5oz) pouch sugar cookie mix (made according to package directions).
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 – 19.5 package milk chocolate brownie mix
½ cup vegetable or canola oil
1/3 cup strong coffee or 1 tablespoon espresso powder dissolved into 1/3 cup hot water
1 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli double chocolate chips)
Oven to 350. Preapre the sugar cookie recipe as directed and then press the dough into the bottom of a 9x13 inch lightly greased pan.
In a large bowl combine the eggs, brownie mix, cooking oil and coffee mixture. Stir until just combined. Spread the batter over the sugar cookie dough. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Bake for 40 – 45 minutes or until edges are set. Cool in pan on a wire rack.

A-cero has shared this dramatically curved house in Madrid characteristic of the studio's bold style. Each residential home by the established architecture practice takes a similar tack with folded swathes of cream marble and concrete cascading into leafy green foliage and this house in Madrid is no different.
Situated on a 2,800 sq m plot on a low slope, the three storey home welcomes the pines and oaks already flourishing on site, disrupting the natural views only with a modest pool and associated changing rooms. The ventilated white marble of the main house volume is combined with bamboo wood to 'give it character and sobriety'.
Inside this colour scheme is continued with the pure white of the construction materials reflecting the bright Spanish sunlight into the interior spaces whilst keeping them cool. This is counteracted by warmer tones of grey and brown with Havana Oak floors in each of the four bedrooms.
Three en suite bedrooms are to be found on the first floor with the generous master bedroom and dressing room on the ground floor. Also on the ground level are a large living room, guest toilet and kitchen with storage area. A garage, service area and other associated facilities are located on the basement level.

Dining Room Storage Pieces from Our House Tours
In Keeping It Simple: Minimalist Dining Rooms, we looked at no-fuss dining rooms that lack the storage staples of the traditional dining room: china cabinets, buffets and sideboards. But even for those of us who don't own (or have no interest in displaying) our "good china", silver pieces or crystal ware, a lot can be said for including a beautiful case piece in the dining room.
You may use a credenza, hutch or sideboard to display beautiful vases, photos or the odd thrift store gem. Or these pieces could be used as much-needed surplus storage for entertaining-related items like cloth napkins, candles, and formal serving dishes. Finally, dining rooms storage can be used for items that have nothing to do with dining: For many of us, any opportunity to stash unsightly but essential items must be embraced (think board games, extra bed linens, extra rolls of paper towels…). Finally, dining room case pieces can provide extra surface area for setting up buffets and bar essentials.
Chests and cabinets were essential in times when homes were not chock full of closets. Vintage and antique case pieces are often a great choice for the dining room, providing a touch of formality and tradition to even the most modern or streamlined of rooms. Alternatively, dining room storage could consist of built-ins and bookshelves, which often give a cozy personal touch.

I got a phone call at work today from a gal in Grants, NM (about an hour from Gallup). She has a pit bull/mix female, one year old. She is spayed and current on her vaccinations.
The dog, Babe, is dog aggressive, but good with people. She's solid white with a few brown spots. The owner is going to try and get me a few pictures of her.
The story is, the lady picked Babe up off the rez when she was a puppy, not knowing she was a pit bull, and then not knowing anything about the breed once she realized what the dog was. Within the last month, Babe has become very aggressive towards the other dogs, and the last time she went after the oldest dog, who is a senior, and seriously injured him.
She has eight other dogs. She has been trying to get in contact with rescues for a few weeks, but she hasn't gotten any replies to her e-mails. I understand most places are full to bursting right now, but I would like to help her. She is an older lady and I can tell she loves all of her dogs, including Babe, very much. She was crying when I was speaking with her on the phone.
She is trying to do right by all of her dogs, and she is going to kennel Babe at the clinic she was spayed at for a few days. She does have a smaller fenced in area she tried to keep Babe in, but she kept getting out. I did suggest to her that she set a chain spot up in that fenced area just to keep her from harming the other dogs, and she was agreeable.
I know that we hear stories like this all the time, but this woman is very sincere in her love and her guilt over this dog.
She is located in Grants, NM but is willing to travel to get the dog into a safe place.
I have not met this dog in person, but I do plan to get out there and meet her just so I can do a short evaluation on her temperment. I will also get pictures, in case the owner isn't able to.
Emergency placement.
Why buy from a breeder when there are plenty of homeless pups in shelters???

This documentary discusses and educates its audience about what can be done to aid and educate professionals and parents who are affected by cultural shame and rejection.

Refrigerator Mothers
From the 1950's through the 1970's, the medical establishment mistakenly believed it had found the root cause of autism: poor mothering. Doctors presumed that the often obsessive behaviors of autistic children - rigid rituals, speech difficulty, self-isolation - stemmed from their mothers' emotional frigidity. Refrigerator Mothers explores the traumatic legacy of blame, guilt and self-doubt suffered by a generation of women who were branded "refrigerator mothers."
sproutflix is an ever-growing list of carefully selected films of artistry and intellect from around the world which includes films specifically related to the lives, performances and accomplishments of people with autism.

Temple Grandin answers the questions that every parent or person with a family member on the spectrum wants to ask.
A Time for Georgia

Through a series of interconnected conversations on love, family, humour, art, desire and destiny, the film unearths Vas' unique perception of the world and how he copes with the "realities" within and outside of him. At the heart of the story is a sister's attempt to crack the enigma that is her brother as she forges a way for their shared future.

The video helps people who have little exposure to autism understand the autism spectrum. Additionally, the video is a resource for those who have everyday contact with people on the autism spectrum to illustrate the significance of their role in supporting a person with autism to grow and develop.

Biodiesel production is on the way in North Carolina. The largest biodiesel plant in the Southeast could be up and running in eastern North Carolina within the year.
The $20 million plant, located in Mount Olive, N.C., is predicted to have a capacity of 15 to 20 million gallons of biodiesel, making it the largest in the Southeast. The site was chosen because of its proximity to some 8.5 million acres of soybeans.
Grain Growers Cooperative, a group of 290 farmers, has been working on bringing biodiesel production to North Carolina since it was organized in 2001, says its chairman Earl Hendrix of Raeford, N.C. The growers also hope to bring a $25 million crushing plant on line at the same site.
Two years ago, the group brought the first biodiesel to the state and now works in partnership with a number of suppliers.
The plant is projected to employ about 20 people directly and provide a number of related jobs in transportation and fuel distribution. The annual capacity of the plant is expected to be enough to meet the blending requirements for the state's annual use of 1.1 billion gallons of petroleum.
Late last year, the cooperative received a $5 million investment from the Golden Leaf Foundation for the project. The plant would be owned by the cooperative.
"The idea behind the plant is to have the farmers supply and own the plant, so the stock money can flow back to the farmers," Hendrix says.
Hendrix and the co-op members are excited about the possibilities of adding value to their production. Last year, President George W. Bush signed the first biodiesel tax incentive into law and extended the ethanol incentive.
Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative produced from renewable resources and contains no petroleum. It can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a blend which is used in diesel engines with little or no modification.
Biodiesel fuel burns up to 75 percent cleaner than conventional diesel fuel made from fossil fuel. And reduces unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter in exhaust fumes. Its fumes smell like French fries.
Biodiesel also improves engine performance. A German truck is in the Guiness Book of Records for traveling more than 780,000 miles on biodiesel with its original engine.
Biodiesel can be mixed with diesel fuel in any proportion. As little as 1 percent biodiesel blended with diesel increased the lubrication of the engine by 65 percent.
It is made through a process called transesterification that separates the glycerin from the fat or vegetable oil. The process leaves two products, methyl esters, the chemical name for biodiesel, and glycerin, a valuable byproduct sold to be used in soaps and other products

Minority and Non-Traditional Law Students / No LSAT« on: February 28, 2011, 05:13:51 PM »
New guys posting here. I want to ask a few questions. First, is there a list of law schools that do not require the LSAT? Next, what about the online schools like Taft and Concord. They are not ABA but they do the DETC. Is that worth anything? IS Cali the only state you could sit for the bar in? I live in Tennessee could you sit for the bar in Tennessee or any of the surrounding states? Thanks for any info you can provide.

My LifeSubmitted by Karen on August 4, 2011 - 2:53pm
When the hitman hiding in Roberta Williams′ roof confessed that he couldn′t kill her, she knew she had to get herself and her kids out of the bloodiest battle the Australian underworld had ever known.
Roberta′s marriage to Melbourne career criminal Carl Williams had been a rollercoaster ride, but it was still a welcome antidote to her life before Carl. The youngest of seven children, her father died when she was a baby, and she was beaten by her mother and stepfather, kicked out of school for fighting and made a ward of the state at eleven.

Newbie to security and currently trying to design my home network. I came across an article that stated edge routers should be the first layers of defense, and then it went on in marketing-hype fashion about Cisco IOS Firewall Feature Set.
This had me a bit confused. Is there any real use to having an edge router? I mean some point out that it relieves the load on the firewall itself, but then the edge router would still be congested wouldn't it? If it does packet inspection / filtering, wouldn't it be acting in similar fashion to a firewall? But quite a few sources say an edge router should be the first layer of defense.
Wouldn't be easier, not to mention less expensive, to not place an edge router and instead have the firewall in its place?

|Trudy Traveler doll, renamed Emmeline
by Show Stoppers Inc.
She is my one and only all-porcelain made doll from head to toe. She stands at about 9" tall and came to me in her own wooden trunk with accessories. She's actually preowned so while overall in great condition, she's missing one dress out of the three she was suppose to have. Too bad. I've got the blue shoes, hat and bag but no blue dress.
Well, the remaining ensembles are pretty cool at least. I always thought the elaborateness of antique french fashions were beautiful. I've also always wanted a doll trunk. And she's got that too! Everything in one package. Not too shabby.
|Size comparison with a kneeling DG Susie
I'm not fond of antique-type dolls in general. I find them a little freaky. Emmeline, though, has a big cute round face with huge blue eyes that I find adorable. Because of the childlike chunky body to go with the fat head, she actually feels nice to hold and play with. She doesn't seem as fragile despite her all-porcelain construction.
I think she likes DG Susie's blue antique french-inspired dress since she's missing her own....
Happy Friday!

Studying for the LSAT / Anyone taking live course in metro Detroit« on: July 02, 2012, 02:36:00 PM »
I have been lurking around this forum for a few weeks now and have learned much from the forum. I decided to take a live prep course based on my TM diagnostic test score of 143. The forums topics I have read basically stated the pecking order for prep classes as follows: Testmasters / Powerscore / Manhattan > Princeton Review > Kaplan. However, many of the posts were a few years old. Is this still the case? Should I take TM course with a starting score of 143 or go with PR or Kaplan? Also, I also know the instructor is who will make or break the class for me (I spoke to Kaplan and TM today but they had not assigned an instructor to either class yet). Has anyone taken any of these classes in the metro Detroit area and what was your experience?

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun! A challenge posed by Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings.
1) Decide which of your (many?) genealogy research adventures was your "very best" (your definition).
2) Tell us about it in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post, or in a Status report or comment on Facebook.
It started last March with a call from my nephew's wife. Her father (Tony) was told in December that he had been given away at birth. Tony was fighting a recurrence of cancer and wanted to try to find his birth father. He had always felt that something was missing from his life. There was little information to start with. His father's family was from the San Antonio, TX area and entered the country from Mexico at Eagle Pass, TX. The family name was Benevidas and Tony's father was named Ismael. While Benevidas is fairly common, fortunately Ismael is rather unique.
Using genealogy methodology, I did a search on ancestry.com. I found an obituary that mentioned Ismael as the brother of the deceased Erasmo. Erasmo and Ismael's father was also named Erasmo. I found the Erasmo Benevidas family in Cibolo, TX in the 1930 census.
Using whitepages.com I located some of the survivors of Erasmo Benevidas. Armed with names, addresses, and phone numbers, Tony's daughter began making phone calls. Within two days she had located Tony's two half brothers. Unfortunately, Tony's father had died but the brothers were aware of his existance. In May the three brothers had a meeting and couldn't believe the family resemblance.
While maybe not true genealogy, this was a very gratifying use of my genealogy skills.

Could Google's Motorola Buy To Fend Off Microsoft... Actually Drive More Business To Microsoft?
from the the-perverted-economics-of-patents dept
Of course, the big question that many raised when Google did this deal was whether it would actually push some handset makers away from Android, out of a fear of competing with their own supplier. While big Android players like HTC quickly downplayed that risk, insisting that they were committed to Android, at least some are speaking out about being less willing to bet on Android, and how it might even drive them to look more closely at Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system.
Let's unpack this for a second, because it begins to show just how ridiculous this overall situation is:
- Microsoft, thanks to patents, makes more money from Android phones.
- In order to fend off patent threats, Google buys Motorola to get its patents.
- In doing so, handset makers scared of competing with Google, start looking at Microsoft as a partner.
- The end result: Microsoft may get more handset partners, but less money, since Android is a pure licensing profit center.

The Apple iPad is Cannabilizing the Netbook Market
- 0 Comments
Before the Apple iPad was released, nobody knew what space it would compete for in the computer market. Would it replace a laptop? Would it compete as a netbook? Nobody really knew. After its April release though, it's clear that the iPad tablet does indeed compete against, and in a significant number of cases can replace, a laptop unit.
According to March 2010 data collected by Alphawise, 44% of those buying iPad devices have decided to forgo buying a laptop as a result. Their main needs in getting a laptop were to check e-mail and to browse the web — things they can also do from an iPad.
Here's a fancy chart showing Apple's iPad cannabilization:
Not only has the iPad been cannibalizing laptop sales but it has also been cannibalizing netbook sales as well. The chart below shows the decline in netbook sales growth starting at the beginning of 2010. A significant amount of this decrease was rumored to be due to the upcoming release of the Apple iPad.
Now that the iPad's out, think it'll be able to avoid the same fate that has come of other computing products? Apple's pretty good at innovation, so it's very likely.

T-Wolves Introduce Brandon Roy
The Timberwolves introduced shooting guard Brandon Roy at a press conference today at Target Center. The 28-year old Roy is coming out of retirement after missing all of last season with chronic knee problems. He played 5 seasons in Portland and the 6'6 guard averaged 19 points a game.
He received treatment oversees on his knees and feels confident he can play at a "high level" and plans on playing a major role. When asked why he chose the Wolves he says coach Rick Adelman the roster had a lot to do with his decision.
The Wolves and Roy agreed to a 2-year contract 2 weeks ago.

Vinyasa Flow
November 14 (Wednesday) at 5:15 pm
Class length
1 hour
Vinyasa means 'intelligent sequencing'. In this class the breath is linked together with a creative progression of postures that heats, lengthens, strengthens, tones, and purifies the muscles and organs. When we flow with our breath, moving from one posture to another, we find a meditation in motion. The connecting movements become as important as the postures themselves. Each instructor offers unique sequencing that includes sun salutations, standing, balancing, seated and inverted postures. All levels welcome.
Sorry - that class has already taken place!

Recognizing that farming is among the nation's most hazardous occupations, North Carolina Cooperative Extension offers educational programs to help farmers, farm workers and their families lower their risk of injury, illness and death.
Its latest tool in this effort is a kit of easy-to-use materials to teach pesticide safety to Spanish-speaking agricultural workers with limited formal education.
Extension tested the kit with workers and trainers to make sure the educational materials were simple yet effective. It also was reviewed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that it met the federal Worker Protection Standard's training requirements. The WPS calls for agricultural employers, owners, managers and labor contractors to provide training, not only to those who handle pesticides, but to all the people who are involved in the production of agricultural plants.
Table-top flipcharts are the kit's centerpieces. On the side that faces the trainer, there are lesson plans, while on the side that faces the audience, there are colorful photographs illustrating the trainer's message.
The kit also comes with one-page illustrated sheets — available in Spanish and English — related to some of North Carolina's most important crops. The sheets list common pesticides used at various stages of crop growth, indicate each pesticide's toxicity level, and spell out how long areas treated by each pesticide should be off-limits. There are also realistic drawings that illustrate the symptoms a worker might experience because of unsafe exposure and phone numbers for the worker to call in case of problems.
Right now, materials are available covering tobacco, sweet potato and tomato crops. Material for other crops — cucumbers, green peppers, grapes, landscape, Christmas trees, blueberries, strawberries and apples — will be available for the 2011 growing season.
A Web site for dissemination of the toolkit for tobacco, sweet potato and tomato crops will be available later this summer.
The toolkit was funded by a grant from the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Pesticide Environmental Trust Fund and developed by Greg Cope, Julia Storm and Catherine LeProvost with the College's Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology.
The three introduced the materials during a train-the-trainer session in June 2010, when dozens of Extension agents, state agriculture and labor officials, community health and migrant education workers, a fertilizer dealer and others came to Raleigh for a one-day train-the-trainer session.


text: Oats are best grown in temperate regions. They have a lower summer heat requirement and greater tolerance of rain than other cereals, such as wheat, rye or barley, so are particularly important in areas with cool, wet summers, such as Northwest Europe and even Iceland. Oats are an annual plant, and can be planted either in autumn (for late summer harvest) or in the spring (for early autumn harvest).

Jesus is Wisdom in the flesh. In the wisdom books of the Old Testament, God was understood as having created through Wisdom, who existed with God from the beginning of time (Prv 8:22 ff; Wis 9:9). Wisdom pitched her tent among us as the voice of the Lord and the source of life (Sir 24:4-8; Prv 2:6; 3:18). John's Gospel identifies Jesus with all of this.
In the first reading, from the Book of Proverbs, Wisdom is personified as a grande dame who invites any and all to her banquet, a great feast where she offers the rich fare and choice wines of true insight. "Let whoever is simple turn in here…. Come, eat of my food, and drink of the wine I have mixed! Forsake foolishness that you may live."
Wisdom's banquet serves as a background to Jesus' discourse on the bread of life, which we have been hearing proclaimed these past three Sundays. Jesus assures his listeners that "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst" (6:35). Two columns ago I pointed out the imperative of making a choice for Jesus and clinging to him. Last week we experienced Jesus inviting us to communion with him in his self-offering: "The bread that I give is my flesh for the life of the world" (6:51).
In today's Gospel reading, from the final portion of the discourse, Jesus' words become positively shocking: "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you…. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink." Such a proclamation seems scandalous. For Jews the consumption of any blood was forbidden (Gn 9:4; Lv 17:14) and the use of the term flesh (sarx, "meat") is particularly vulgar.
Jesus' teaching created both confusion and disgust in his listeners. Understanding his words on a superficial level, they imagine him to be calling for cannibalism, with himself as the victim. Yet there is something quite literal in his intention, even as it is also symbolic. He really meant it. Jesus really is Wisdom's true divine feast.
Just as Jesus cannot be understood outside of the Old Testament context, so too he cannot be understood outside of our ecclesial context. This is obviously a eucharistic discourse. By viewing Jesus' words through this ecclesial lens, we see how he can be both symbolic and literal, for here the symbols of bread and wine carry the objective reality with them. In this, the climax of his discourse, Jesus identifies the eucharistic elements with himself.
In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to associate the first part of the discourse (on the 18th Sunday) with the Liturgy of the Word, the second part (19th Sunday) with the sacrifice of the Mass and today's with Communion. A decade after John's Gospel was written, the great bishop and martyr St. Ignatius of Antioch criticized those who "abstain from the Eucharist and prayer, because they refuse to acknowledge that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ." For Ignatius, the Eucharist was "the medicine of immortality, the antidote we take...to live forever in Jesus Christ" (Smy. 6; Eph 20)
Jesus is the bread of life. We feed on his life-giving word of wisdom that we may see as he sees. We feed on his self-offering, from the Incarnation to Calvary, for it brings us to communion with the Father and with one another. And we feed on his flesh and blood that we may be transformed by what we consume. It is difficult to talk about the Eucharist because it represents so many layers of profound truths, each layer heavy in symbol and metaphor. No wonder Jesus' listeners were confused.
I even see confusion in the church today. This is unfortunate, for the profundity of the Eucharist and its transformative possibilities cannot be overplayed. The Second Vatican Council describes the Eucharist elegantly: "A sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us" ("Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy," No. 47).

Santa Barbara, Calif. -
In one of hte most emotionally contested Big West soccer matches of the season, 15th-ranked and first-place UC Santa Barbara scored two goals in the final 15 minutes to defeat second-place Cal State Northridge 4-2 on Wednesday night.
Junior midfielder Memo Arzate scored at the 75:04 mark to snap a 2-2 tie. Arzate's goal, which was assisted by Drew McAthy and David McGill, came from about 15 yards out and to the right of Matador goalkeeper Joe Barton.
Sophomore forward Matt Bly gave the Gauchos some breathing room at the 89:02 mark when he took a feed from Jon Apilado and struck one from 10 yards out. The goal, which gave UCSB its final 4-2 advantage, came with Northridge playing a man down. Matador defender Peabo Woodson was given a red card with just over nine minutes to play when he took out UCSB's Arzate with a hard tackle. For Woodson, is the the final in a series of questionable plays and it forced Arzate, the Gauchos' top playmaker, to leave the match limping.
In addition to his game-winning goal, Arzate assisted on UCSB's first score. Junior Matt Kubota drilled one that deflected off of a defender's head. In addition to Arzate's assist, which was his league-leading 15th of the season, Apilado also contributed an assist. The goal came at the 10:05 mark in the first half.
The Matadors tied the score in the 26th-minute when Edwin Miranda took a perfect feed from Charles Mitchell and broke past the Gaucho defense, nudging a shot beyond the outstretched hand of goalkeeper Danny Kennedy.
UCSB made it 2-1 with just under four minutes remaining in the first half when Gene Deering redirected an Apilado shot for his eighth goal of the season. For Apilado, it was one of his three assists on the night, a career-high.
The Gaucho lead lasted until the 57:30 mark when Northridge's Jeff Overman scored on a header off of a corner kick by Yossi Raz. Overman leaped high and pounded the shot in with his skull, making the score 2-2 and setting the stage for Arzate's game-winner in the 76th-minute.
In addition to the emotional and physical play, there were 39 fouls in the match, the contest was delayed about 25 minutes when a transformer blew out on the UCSB campus, blowing-out all but the emergency lights at Harder Stadium. Ultimately, the power was restored to that portion of campus and the match was resumed with 5:50 remaining and the Gauchos leading 3-2.
Woodson was not the only individual red carded in the match. UCSB head coach Tim Vom Steeg was whistled for a yellow card and then a red card at the 38:47 mark of the first half for objecting to the officiating.
Santa Barbara outshot the Matadors 18-7. Rob Friend, who was held without a goal for the second straight match, did manage four shots as did Kubota. Neither goalkeeper piled-up many saves. UCSB's Danny Kennedy finished with a pair and Northridge's Barton had just one.
With the victory the Gauchos improve to 14-2-1 overall, 6-0-1 in the Big West and 8-0-0 at home. Northridge, which tied UCSB 0-0 on October 19, drops to 11-4-2 overall and 4-2-1 in the Big West. The Gauchos will travel to UC Riverside on Saturday, November 9 for a 1:00 p.m. match. A win against the Highlanders would clinch the Big West championship for the second straight year for the Gauchos.

Medicare may cover skilled care in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) for up to 100 days. To qualify for skilled care reimbursement, the patient must require skilled nursing or rehabilitation staff for medical management, observation, and evaluation on a daily basis. Examples of skilled care include changing sterile dressings, feeding tube care, IV fluids and care and physical therapy for rehabilitation. Services that can be provided by non-professional staff do not qualify as skilled care.
Medicare will cover skilled care only if all of the following conditions are met:
1. You have Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) with days remaining in your benefit period.
2. You have a qualifying inpatient hospital stay of three consecutive days or more, not including the day you leave the hospital. You must enter the SNF within a short time (generally 30 days) of leaving the hospital and require skilled services related to your hospital stay. If you reenter the same or another SNF within 30 days of discharge from a SNF facility, you don't need another qualifying hospital stay to get additional SNF benefits. This is also true if you stop receiving skilled care while in the SNF and then start receiving skilled care again within 30 days of the stopping of that skilled care.
3. Your doctor has decided that you need daily skilled care. Skilled care must be given by, or under the direct supervision of, skilled nursing or rehabilitation staff. If you are in an SNF for skilled rehabilitation services only, your care is considered daily care even if these therapy services are offered just five or six days a week.
4. You receive the skilled services in a Medicare-certified nursing facility.
5. You need these skilled services for a medical condition that either:
a. Was treated during a qualifying three-day hospital stay
b. Started while you were getting Medicare-covered SNF care
For more information, contact us.

Earth : Europe : Italy : Sardinia : Cagliari
Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia.
Get in
By plane
Several airlines serve Cagliari Elmas Airport, [3] connecting it to many Italian and European cities. [4]
Taxi service to Cagliari is provided by the following companies:
Cooperativa Radio Taxi "Quattro Mori"
Scalette Santo Sepolcro, 2 Cagliari Tel: 070 400101
Cooperativa Radio Taxi "Rossoblù"
Via Duomo, 19 Cagliari Tel: 070 6655
Bus servie to the city is provided in the daytime by ARST Azienda Regionale Trasporti (free toll 800 865042, info 070 4098327).
Get around
By public transportation
Cagliari Public Transportation CTM provides an fast and efficient service to get around in Cagliari city and suburbs.There are about 30 lines of buses and four new metro lines are in progress. At least the bus traffic is amazingly efficient and reliable to Italian standards. [5]
By car
It is really difficult to get parking and drive in rush hour even if the road network has been recently improved.
On foot
The best thing you can do is walk through the old city and discover it. Almost everything you have to see in a quick visit of Cagliari can be joined by a pleasant little walk.
Wear comfortable shoes, though. The old town of Cagliari lies in a somewhat steep hill, so you will be walking uphill or downhill most of the time.
There are clean public toilets in the building on the Pontile Sanita ferry wharf, near the bus terminal.
By bike
The Cagliari bike station is in the centre of Cagliari, inside the parking area, at the train station. [6]
Cagliari is known as "The City of Sun" so you must have a full relaxing day on the wonderful Poetto Beach. This 8 km beach will excite you and is perfectly equipped to satisfy every your wish. You can get here by buses PF, PQ, 3P, and 9P.
The beach is divided to the free parts and the beach clubs, the latter charging you with an entry fee but rent umbrellas, deck chairs, etc. for you. Prices are around €3/entry, about €12 for an umbrella, a deck chair and a sun bed. The club beaches clean the sand each night and provide you with showers and toilets.
Most of the shops are concentrated in a couple of areas: Via Roma and Largo Carlo Felice, the pedestrial roads Via Manno and Via Garibaldi, and the part of town around Via Alghero, Via Paoli and Via Dante. Lots of beautiful shop are concentrated in this areas which could remind you of Copenhagen's Strøget.
There are many of restaurants in the old town area, and you probably will not make a bad selection anyway since the food seems to be top class at least if you enjoy seafood. A dinner for two with little house wine. There is a good pizza place tucked away in the side streets in the Marina district, l'Oca Bianca, Via Napoli, 38. Make a reservation, though, on 070 664339.
There are a few places to enjoy lunch salads at the Piazza Yenne and wonderful Gelaterias if you don't want to eat too heavily during the day. These places double up as decent eateries by night.
The whole area around Cagliari gives host to a number of accommodation options including the world famous Forte village [7], and the stunning hotel Le Meridien Chia Laguna on the white sandy beaches of Chia.
Stay safe
Though generally safe, Cagliari has some instances of pickpocketing and drunkenness.
Get out

Bring your contractors and do-it-yourselfers
Some of you seemed a little miffed that there was no featured house yesterday. Worry not! We have
a complete piece of crap an exciting opportunity for you today! Thanks very much to Burbed reader peninsula.man for keeping an eye on this Willow Glen wonder.
San Jose, CA 95125
Offered at $749,000
Active Contingent
Type Single Family Home
SqFt 1,897
Beds 2
Baths 1 Full
Lot Size 8,400 SqFt
Year / Age 1949 / 63
Bring your contractors and do-it-yourselfers. This needs a total remodel or tear down and a new home. Many newer homes around it. Large lot near the gates at Willow Ranch. Take a look and make us an offer. This is a probate sale. Please use CAR form PPA and PAK. A real estate commission will be paid to the successful bidder only. SUBJECT TO OVERBIDS IN COURT
Here's what peninsula.man had to say while hoisting this listing over the transom:
Honestly this house made me speechless. The idea that someone would buy a 750k tear town in the south bay…is just absurd.
Oh come on, this is the kind of house upon which Burbed was founded, all the way back in 2006. Three quarters of a million dollars for a house that's, if not uninhabitable, at least suffering from some poor design choices?
All we can say to that is… SUBJECT TO OVERBIDS IN COURT. And… bring it!

After blowin' the roof off Brooklyn's Barclays Center last week, "Blowin' in the Wind" legend Bob Dylan's headed back to Manhattan — this time as an artist. He'll show off 30 new works called "Revisionist Art" at Gagosian Gallery on the Upper East Side tomorrow. The collection of silk-screened works are over 4 feet tall, with periodically inspired images and titles, including "Playboy Magazine: Sharon Stone" and "Baby Talk Magazine: Strengthen Your Baby." Dylan's last Gagosian show was "The Asia Series," following the rocker-turned-painter's travels in Japan, China, Vietnam and Korea. His Barclays date was the final of a North American tour with Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler.

User:Allan/Pacman Hooks - Version 2
This is a new draft, look at the old propsal for previous discussions.
The Idea
Short Version: Pacman should have hooks to perform common tasks.
Long Version: Many packages have install files that perform a common task; e.g. adding/removing info files in the info directory file, installing/uninstalling gconf schemas, updating the font/desktop/icon cache. It would be good if pacman was extendible through a hooks mechanism so that these could be handled automatically.
Hook structure
Hook triggers
Each hook would have a "trigger" file. This file should be in a well-known config file format, preferably an ini-file. For avoiding conflicts with
.pacnew or
.pacsave files, all trigger files should end with
.trigger. These triggers can be either put int
/usr/lib/pacman/hooks/triggers/ or
/etc/pacman.d/hooks/triggers/. Similar to udev or systemd, a file in
/etc/pacman.d/hooks/triggers/ will override a file in
/usr/lib/pacman/hooks/triggers/ of the same name - an empty file will disable the trigger.
Pacman transactions
All hook triggers are read at the beginning of the transaction.
If a new trigger is added during the transaction, it is parsed and added, and will be valid for the current and all subsequent packages. Applicability to the current package may be limited, in particular, PreInstall triggers will not work in this case.
Trigger types
Triggers can be triggered using any of the following criteria:
- The package name of an installed/upgraded package matches a given pattern.
- An installed/changed file matches a given pattern.
The package name or file name can be used as arguments in the following action.
Action execution can take place:
- Before the installation/upgrade of the package (PreInstall)
- After the installation/upgrade of the package (PostInstall)
- Before the removal of the package (PreRemove)
- After the removal of the package (PostRemove)
- At the end of the transaction (Transaction)
File Format
Hook actions
Each hook
.trigger file contains an
Action= statement. If the argument is an absolute path, the executable at that path is executed. Otherwise, the executable
/etc/pacman.d/hooks/actions/$arg is executed. If that doesn't exist,
/usr/lib/pacman/hooks/actions/$arg is executed.

I'm sure what he really want to know is what the meaning and purpose of MY life is. Its all about me, and I can prove it.
Albert Camus:
"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life."
Albert Schweitzer:
"Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory."
Conservative Atheist, sounds like a pretty warped philosophy. Who cares about meaning when you have joy. How do you get joy? Joy comes from within, the knowing that you know the answers to life's tough questions, and somebody bigger than yourself to lean on, as in Jesus Christ, the author and perfector of your faith.
(there goes that faith thing again….it just won't end, will it!-sorry Sam, ha ha)
Joy comes from knowing that you are not dependent upon some primitive 2000 year old myths and an invisible supernatural vindictive friend for answers to life's tough questions.
Today, I stubbed my toe and it hurt so bad I said, "holy shit!" and I wasn't happy. Soon the pain stopped and I noticed I was becoming happy again.
Later, I took off my house slippers to put on some socks and I saw that my toe was missing. I looked all over for my missing toe and found it not 3 feet from the location of the toe stubbing. I tried to put it back on but it didn't fit anymore. Then I thought of an outrageous yet obvious solution. The toe was someone elses! So I decided to stub my whole body to make it fit with someone elses misplaced toe. It was at this point, at the conclusion of the body stubbing, that I realized I was a genius. If I close my eyes you ALL go away. It IS all about me.
Conservative Atheist, the proof is in the pudding (or as we say in Christian circles, you will know them by their fruit). As a general rule, most non believers seem to get bitter as they grow old. But most believers seem to have an inner joy, a glow if you will.
Take a look at the folks who've been believers in Christ all their lifes. They seem pretty happy and joyful if you ask me. No, they are not perfect, we all have flaws. But compare their demeanor to their counterparts at the opposite end of the belief sprectum.
How many non believers do you know who have that inner glow, that inner joy? (there are exceptions to the rule, but I rarely bump into them…). Joy comes from knowing the Lord. The joy of the Lord is my strength.
So you may have riches here on earth (i.e., your grain and new wine abound), but I got riches stored up in heaven. My riches are much better than your riches, You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and new wine abound. Psalms 4:7
These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. John 15:11
But my riches smell like bacon broth and are the best of them all! And a brothy stew riddled with sandy chucks of joy! Ha! See, he beckons naught with thine folly of paste. Proverbs 15:12
I've closed my eyes and ye goeth away. Like the parry in a hard place, yes under a rock. Hark. the lord pronounced me King and every knee shalt bend towards the earth and their joy will be a success. I smell bacon broth and meek dung fetters. Death to them all, yes a shouting from high places under the gods of grease. Listen! It is all about guest! Hope not he close his eyes and ye all fade! Daniel 9:1-3
I wouldn't do that. First of all, it's very impolite to pollute one's sacred book. Secondly: I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book. If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. Revelation 22:18-19.
I forgive you, but keep that in mind, ok.
I see that there is a topic in the Christianity section (..in His own image) that requests input from you among others. Have you not seen it or are you just avoiding giving a response.
Blue, I saw it and want to respond. I also will respond to Tom's questions. (It is just me or is this guy a little shrill?) I hope to get to it tonight.
Hey, can you imagine how cool it will be if one of you intellectuals come to the knowledge of the truth? Can you imagine! All you have to do to be used of God is….be available. Now Paul, he was an intellectual, like you folks in this forum. He was trained in the law and Jewish traditions, was a leader in Isreal, and yet he was a Roman citizen. Look at the amazing things God did through this intellectual. If only, one of you could know him, and make yourself available to him…. you're missing out on the biggest and most satisfying adventure of your life.
Oh well, just thinking aloud…
[quote author="TheChampion"]

What is he/she/it kidding? Thinking?

What reasoning came before your, "therefore there is no god", conclusion.
Was it;

It came in stages. First, I was convinced that the stories told to me about all the miracles that happened in the bible were just that, stories designed to lure people, much like a lure on a hook to catch a fish. I thought perhaps they were written with some kind of moral in mind, though I wasnt quite sure what they were. After all, I was only five or six years old.
Then it naturally followed that if these miracles were just tales fancy, then the idea of a god was, also.
It wasnt until later that I came to believe there was no way to prove or disprove the existance of a deity. However, I reasoned that it was highly likely that there was no god, that being the simplist explanation (Occam's Razor). Religions of the world—and its been estimated that since the dawn of Man, therve been 100,000 of them—have been erected in order to explain the unexplainable, or as with shamans and the like, as a tool to control others. The Christian and Islamic religions, and variations thereof, likewise can neither be proven or disproven to be true, and serve to fill some need by some people to believe something bigger than themselves, which 'answers' some of the questions which science has not.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A pair of Engineers collected Field Hockey All-Conference honors, as the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) announced its postseason awards today. Junior Kameron Klauber and sophomore Molly McShane were named to the First Team All-Conference, after helping lead MIT to a runner-up finish in last weekend's NEWMAC Championship tournament. The Cardinal and Gray also received the league's Sportsmanship Award, as voted on by student-athletes throughout the conference.
Klauber, who led the Engineers in goals (22) and points (52) on the season, earned All-Conference accolades for the first time in her career. The junior forward ranked third in the league in scoring and had five game-winning tallies on the year. Her 22 markers and 52 points eclipsed the single-season program records, set by Kimberly Barker last year.
McShane, who was the New England East Player of the Year as a freshman, received the All-Conference distinction for the second straight season. A steady presence in the midfield, McShane led the team in assists (12), a total that was good for third in the NEWMAC.
Tech's season came to an end on Sunday afternoon in the conference Championship game, falling to Babson College, 6-1. The Engineers established a new program record for goals per game (3.87) and matched the longest winning streak in MIT history with a string of nine-straight victories in the middle of the season.

I made a few Christmas presents this past fall but am only just now getting to think about posting them. I think I've got a good excuse though and she's the cutest little baby ever. We are so enjoying Selah. I love just sitting and snuggling with this little one. I look at her and know that she is really such a gift and I'm so incredibly thankful to God for her. I love seeing how much Caleb and Alice love being with her too, they sing to her, show her toys, play with her, and on and on. Alice started talking for her today saying, "do you like this toy Selah?" and replying for her "yeah its really cute". I can't get enough of these sweet times these days. What a blessing. Bob's been pretty sick since Saturday and staying away from the baby as to not get her sick. Poor guy he misses his little girl. I love seeing Bob with her and how tenderly he loves her and the big kids as well.
So about these Christmas presents! We'll start off with Caleb's present. Back when we were expecting Alice I made her a banner with her name on it. Before I had Alice I didn't really like pink. I picked all earthtones for her name banner and regret it some now as she couldn't be more into pink and purple! Not to mention that it doesn't really match her room, but I digress. What I love about it I repeated for Caleb for his own name banner. Its hanging above his bed with five pockets waiting for all the little treasures that little boys find and love. I hope one day when the kids are older to leave little notes for each of them in their pockets and hope that I'll get some sweet notes back. (oh and as I sidenote, I not only hope, but I WILL change the navy blue wall color in his room (you see it below in the picture of his banner), its so dark and came with the house, and I didn't even let you see the sports wallpaper above that I disdain as well. But that's another project for another day and probably for another year.)
I pretty much copied how I made Alice's banner for Caleb's. For the letters I chose an easy font and printed them out. Then I traced the letters onto freezer paper and ironed that paper onto the fabric. I then cut the letters out. This is such an easy way to cut out an applique. I cut out stitch witchery (you can also use heat-n-bond) for each letter and ironed them onto the pockets. Then I satin stitched (very tiny zigzag) the edges of the letters onto the pockets. I wish I'd thought to put interfacing or some other stiffener behind the letters because I got a lot of puckering, but next time I will (and I did for Alice's Christmas present this year, more on that later). I then sewed the pockets onto each of the five colored squares and joined them all together. I basted a piece of thick batting on the back of the name side of the banner to make it thicker. For Alice's banner I made tab tops to run a dowel rod through to hang it. For Caleb's I made a rod pocket in the back instead. I think I like the pocket better because it gives it a cleaner look, though it hangs at a bit of an angle because the hooks that hold it stick out from the wall. I didn't really think about that when I made it. But I like the look of the rod pocket, as in you can't see the dowel rod, as opposed to making it with the tab tops. I bought all the fabric while shopping with my good friend at Hobby Lobby. I think that's the first time I've bought fabric there. Not sure why I always overlook that place. I'm sure I'll be back more often since my walmart has discontinued its fabric section, what a bummer! Caleb likes his banner, especially since he's all about learning how to write letters and particularly into writing his name lately. Someday I'll have to make one for Selah too and all the kids can pass secret messages back and forth to each other.
