Randy Houser, 'How Country Feels' – Song Review
A new wife, a new baby, a new record label … add it all up and you'll find a new Randy Houser on his debut single for Stoney Creek Records. 'How Country Feels' drops the Delta Blues-soaked guitar riffs in favor of a sound more palatable to the fan of middle-of-the-road country music.
The vocal reverb and call-back backing vocals may be a little more than the singer's longtime fans are ready for. This song is a long way from 'Anything Goes' — Houser's debut hit from 2008. He followed that up with 'Boots On' and then struggled with his next four offerings to country radio while receiving critical praise. He is still one of the top vocal talents in Nashville, and he shows it off in bite-sized pieces on 'How Country Feels.'
"You were raised on an asphalt farm / Ain't never heard a rooster crow / Never walked barefoot by a river / Felt the mud up between your toes," Houser sings to begin the song.
A one-word review of 'How Country Feels' would be "safe." The lyrics are sharp but familiar, and there isn't a whole lot of attitude until a guitar solo late in the song. It's hard to blame him however, as swinging for the fences has thus far left his commercial potential unrealized. This a song his new son would sing along with if he were old enough.
"Put your hair down, hair down / Get you some of this laid on back / Kick your shoes off, kick 'em off / Get you some of this slow down fast / Take you up and down these hollers and hills / Let me show you how country feels," Houser sings during the chorus.
With Stoney Creek (home of Thompson Square), 'How Country Feels' could easily become the biggest radio hit of Houser's career. It's not a career song, but it's strong enough to give him a little momentum.

Name: Jim
Gender: Male
Age: 67
Location: Jacksonville, FL
My question…I like to watch my girlfriend have sex with other men. This particular time she had sex, she told the guy she was going to give him or leave her "love mark" on him and she proceeded to bite his inner thigh. She and he laughed afterwards. Should I be concerned that that she may have feelings for this guy (a total stranger) we found on the internet. Also should she be caressing, fondling, and massaging him, and deep kissing him? She said she was angry with me because I questioned why she went so far. I have been bothered by this but she says there was nothing but acting on her part. Please get me out of my misery.
You're a cuckold, Jim! Enjoy the torment you pervert! And thanks for presenting me this opportunity to tell everyone in our audience about this delightful fetish.
So I suppose ya'll know that the traditional definition of a cuckold is a married man whose wife cheats on him behind his back. However, there is such a thing as a cuckold fetishist. In fact, this is one of the most popular and fastest growing fetishes around these days. The cuckold fetishist not only knows about his wife's dalliances, but also often enjoys the humiliation of being forced to watch. Witness poor Jim here.
In this fetish the woman is dominant and she takes on additional partners, while the male takes on (or is forced into) the submissive role. Hot, hot, hot, right? You betcha! The wife enjoys multiple partners, but the husband is made to remain sexually exclusive with her alone. This fetish can take on all kinds of permutations. Check out Dr Dick's How To Video Library for a load of videos on this very topic. Look for the VOD tab in the header above. All you have to do is search for CUCKOLD. http://theater.aebn.net/dispatcher/fts?userQuery=CUCKOLDs&theaterId=42740&genreId=101&targetSearchMode=basic&isSearchCriteriaReset=true&searchType=movie&locale=en
What makes a guy enjoy being cuckold? Sometimes this is part of a sexual fantasy, one of being humiliated. The guy may also just get off on watching his wife fuck other guys. I even know some guys who love this because they like watching another guy or other guys have sex. Others like being "forced" to service the other guy. You can see where this would be a freakin' paradise for a bi or closeted gay guy, huh?
The wife and her other partners, on the other hand, no doubt get off on the scenario too. This is one way for a woman to enjoy multiple partners while controlling the sexual outlet of her husband. It's kinda like forced chastity; another very popular fetish these days, don't cha know. The cuckold fetish is also a common kink for the guy who is more absorbed with his wife's pleasure than his own. I know, it's hard to believe; but there are guys like that out there. Our friend, Jim, here is probably one of them.
Good Luck

'Twas the Night Before Darvish-mas
It occurred to me, as the last weekend before Christmas flew by in a blur of sugar cookies, Bailey's and Pot of Gold chocolates, that this was likely going to be the last time I rapped at ya for 2011. I'm probably not going to get to a weekend post over Christmas, nor over New Year's. You'll have to find something else to occupy yourselves. Family, maybe. I dunno.
(Thankfully our host the Tao has improved his labour practices ever since the Ack filed that grievance over being chained to a radiator and forced to blog every weekend under threat of having his legs crushed the same way Kathy Bates did to James Caan in "Misery". My punishment for taking the Christmas season off will be limited to a standard bullwhipping.)
Besides, it would be a bit anticlimactic for me to post something on the Christmas weekend when we're all finding out by Tuesday whether we got just what we wanted, no? The Yu Darvish posting. It's the Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle of this Blue Jays offseason. It's the one piece of news for which we are all waiting and salivating, like a pack of pathetic dogs.
Of course, there are always a few party-poopers. The rational part of me wants to nod knowingly with those who are trying to warn me about a Darvish let-down.
But the fan part of me – and I am a fan, first and foremost – wants to see the team get better. And this is what has me so conflicted about the Darvish thing. As excited as I am about the prospect of a potential ace joining the Jays' rotation, the fact that the ace in question is shrouded in such mystery has rendered me somewhat unsure. In my gut, I think the team would be a helluva lot better with Yu Darvish toeing the rubber every fifth day. But I don't know that.
If the team were looking to add a CC Sabathia (or reacquire a Roy Halladay), I would know, based on reams of facts, that those players would improve the team. I would pencil in a certain number of wins, just based on their expected contributions. But for a player who has never played Major League Baseball, those facts are less copious, and by extension the expected contributions are more of a guessing game. So I have a lot more trouble getting that kid-before-Christmas feeling for Darvish as I might for an established major leaguer.
That doesn't mean it isn't loads of fun, though. There's really no comparison in any other sport to this enigmatic posting system. Yes, for me, the secrecy of the process and the unfamiliarity with the player create a certain ambivalence. But all the same, it's pretty damn riveting to follow. I didn't pay much attention to the Daisuke Matsuzaka posting when it happened so I don't now what the rumour mill was like around that, but holy cripes has this Darvish thing been a hoot to watch – and we still don't even have a result.
Tuesday is going to be another crazy, exciting day, whether the Jays land the rights to Darvish or not. A hundred different storylines will spring from it, depending on what happens. As a blogger, and a baseball fan, that's the kind of early Christmas present I'll always put at the top of my wish list.
Two more sleeps.

I'm all for even handed thinking in anything in life, but why the pessimism? Seems off. The Arthur DJF poster equivalent column set your tone? Arrows seem to be pointing in quite possitive direction, and yet you & Arthur (as of this time of night) seem to just assume some correcting of the MLB universe is coming down. Is this the inferiority complex Canadians say Canadians have? ...Wonders me, a Canadian who doesn't think this way.

I personally think that Arthur has identified an opportunity to take a position that no one in the media (Toronto anyways) has taken. If it turns out he is right, which non of us thinks he will, it will give him gloating abilities for years in saying "I was the only one right on Darvish".

Arthur doesn't seem to be a "gloater". I'm all for the pessimism in this case, I think we need to be reeled in a little.
It will be chaos and pandemonium across the Blue Jay blogosphere and twitterverse.
ps - glad to see the working conditions have improved somewhat, Org Guy. Until you get Clark Griswalded on the Christmas Bonus.

Whatever the point of Anthopoulos's winter meetings calming the waters/playing down TO's financial might was, he's not doing it currently. If you're maybe fearful of the public being over zealous and maybe to be disappointed (get crabby) maybe you'd do some press massaging, tempering peoples hopes? He hasn't been doing that. Maybe that would indicate confidence in their bid?
- December 19, 2011 at 10:52 AM
Why would AA start commenting on rumours now? For all we know, the Jays bid was $6 million, not $51.1+. We need to stop pretending like we have any idea what that man is thinking. He's on a completely different level and is more mysterious than a game of Clue. If we lose the bid, I'm sure AA will come out, say "I told you so" about the payroll parameters, and we'll all cry.
If we can take an solace from this whole anonymous source business with the Darvish bidding, it's that prognosticators were right when it came to Matsuzaka (though the dollar amount was off) a few years ago. Hopefully that bodes well for us Jays fans.

Never pretended or claimed here to know what he's thinks. Quipping. Thus the question marks.

@ Anonymous
Today, from Shi Davidi:
"Yet as much as that obvious statement is true, the Blue Jays have done nothing to squelch the building Darvish fever, unlike the steps they took earlier this off-season to cool talk of Farrell bolting to Boston and of a run at free agent slugger Prince Fielder."
Sound familiar?

SPRINGFIELD, MASS. - Senior running back Mike Laroche ran for a career high 203 yards on 34 carries and scored two touchdowns to lead Western New England College to a 24-14 victory over MIT in a New England Football Conference (NEFC) Boyd Division contest. The win gave the Golden Bears a 3-2 record (2-1 NEFC Boyd) that surpasses last year's total of two victories.
WNEC took a 10-0 half-time lead by scoring twice in the second quarter on a 27-yard field goal by senior Loren Estabrook at 13:28 and a 68-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Jon Tallerico to freshman wide receiver Kevin Miculcy at the 2:01 mark. Laroche then scored on runs of 22 and 10 yards to give the Golden Bears a 24-0 lead with 6:38 left in the third quarter. He now has 2,075 career yards that ranks fourth on the school's all-time rushing list.
MIT (2-3, 0-2) mounted a comeback attempt behind senior quarterback Phil Deutsch who returned in the third quarter after leaving the game in the opening period with an injury. Deutsch scored on a two-yard run to cap a seven-play, 82-yard drive with 3:59 remaining in the quarter. He then tossed the two-point conversion pass to senior tight end Cody Patrick that made it 24-8. Deutsch led MIT on an eight-play, 73-yard drive that ended with his six-yard run with 2:12 left in the game. The two-point rushing conversion attempt failed.
WNEC finished with a season high 452 yards helped by Tallerico who was 8-of-27 passing for 153 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore free safety Jim Kantany had his first collegiate interceptions while junior cornerback Jay Rooney had his first interceptions of the season.
Deutsch was 7-of-16 passing for 100 yards and one interception, and with 43 yards rushing on 10 carries, as the Engineers racked up 251 yards. Freshman running back Muamba Muanankese rushed for 85 yards on 20 carries while senior wide receiver Warren Chia had three receptions for 66 yards.

Cashiers du Cinemart
Cashiers du Cinemart is a zine based in Detroit, Michigan. Started in 1994 by Mike White, it was originally a cut & paste zine done on a Smith Corona word processor. It went to DTP with the sixth issue, to a more professional format with the seventh issue and to its current form with the eleventh issue. Often called "CdC" for short, this magazine may look more professional than it used to, but it still holds on tight to its grass roots. There is little continuity to content from issue to issue.
Cashiers du Cinemart focuses on film (primarily), books, music, and other pop culture items. Some have described it as "a thinking person's Entertainment Weekly" while The Factsheet Five Zine Reader called it "the magazine Film Threat wishes it was."

Parade gives Giants fans a special Halloween treat
SAN FRANCISCO -- Orange and black scream Halloween every year, but this was different. On Wednesday, orange and black was all over town, sure enough, but the colors were screaming about the Giants as they took to the streets for a parade celebrating their 2012 World Series title. Orange and black meant going door to door down city streets for hours and spreading joy like candy to hundreds of thousands of party-goers, all of them wearing the same costume. Naturally, everybody showed up as a Giants fan at this Halloween party, the team's ecstatic and full-throated supporters still soaking in every sight, sound and emotion in the wake of the Giants' second World Series title in three years. An estimated 1 million fans lined Market Street for the Giants' World Series parade, and with 1 1/2 tons of orange confetti raining all around as the Giants motored slowly toward City Hall, the City by the Bay was turned into a colorful celebration of baseball and civic pride. Wearing a bright orange blazer, Mayor Ed Lee declared the colors to be San Francisco's own as the World Series champs made their way through his city's streets. "I think orange and black are the colors of the week," Lee said.
Upon the parade's arrival at City Hall, Lee presented the Giants -- as a team, making a point of that distinction -- with a key to the city, a traditional honor for people who do something spectacular. But he took it a step further, also presenting the team with the "broom to the city," symbolic of the Giants' sweep of the Tigers in four games, completing the deed Sunday night with a 4-3 victory in Detroit.Clearly, the team that banded together to overcome six elimination games to beat first the Reds in the Division Series and then the Cardinals in the National League Championship Series became an inspiration to the city it calls home. Said Lee: "Congratulations to the team that does not know how to quit, never gives up and defied the odds at every opportunity. Here's to showing the world what it means to play for each other." To closer Sergio Romo, this was a team that represented its city well, not only by succeeding on the field but by coming together from many different directions to create something special. "We are a great example of this city," Romo told the audience gathered at Civic Center Plaza. "You look at the diversity of personalities, where we all come from, the different faces from different places, the different folks with different strokes. "You look at all my teammates, and we have a different story. But we all had one goal in mind, we all had job in mind, we all had one dream in mind, and that was to become World Series champions as a group." This was a day to celebrate that accomplishment, and how the Giants went about it. And so it was that the orange and black flowed through the city and up the steps of City Hall well into the afternoon. The stars of that World Series victory were there, front and center -- Buster Posey, greeted with "MVP" chants, Pablo Sandoval and Marco Scutaro addressing the crowd in Spanish, and Romo, who recorded that final out in Detroit, among those being cheered wildly when introduced on the steps of City Hall to address the throngs of people who had waited hours at Civic Center Plaza for the champions' arrival. From a performance of "Gangnam Style" and the dance that goes with it to a live rendition of "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" by Tony Bennett, the Giants' celebration covered a lot of ground. The parade included front-office employees, ushers, security guards and city dignitaries proudly taking photos of each other. It included five Hall of Famers: Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry, all former Giants and part of the celebration as well. The parade also included more of the mutual love that has blossomed between the Giants and the 49ers of the National Football League, with quarterback Alex Smith driving the convertible for Giants ace Matt Cain and head coach Jim Harbaugh doing the same for Brandon Belt. People with wild balloon animals on their back followed some of the bigger cars in the parade, including manager Bruce Bochy in a Rolls-Royce, carrying the 2012 trophy along for the ride. Eventually, the Rolls conked out and needed a push, but all the important cargo arrived safely. "Today is Groundhog Day," said Giants GM Brian Sabean. "We have the right to claim baseball heaven. This is the mecca of baseball -- San Francisco, California. "People forgot that this team won 94 games during the regular season in a division that's probably as underrated as any division in sports, beat two excellent teams to win the National League and then go on to Detroit. Unfortunately for Detroit, with all due respect, they didn't know what they were in for." The GM then turned over the dais to a manager Sabean says now has Hall of Fame status: Bochy, who praised the team concept that got the Giants through tough times in October. "They did whatever they could to help the team win, and that's the only way this got done, so I thank all of them [for] buying into what we were trying to do, and that's win this World Series," Bochy said. When it came time for the players to address the crowd, it was evident they were in awe of the support. Said Posey: "Just looking around and seeing the excitement and happiness on everybody's face, you realize that an accomplishment like this means more than just winning a game. This is about making memories with friends and family that will last a lifetime." Indeed, the occasion did wind up being an opportunity to honor the fans as much as the players or the organization as a whole. On this Halloween, orange and black meant one city, one region, all together on the same page, enjoying the success and joy a World Series brings. "To you, our fans, our familiar voices and faces, you've become our heroes as well," Giants president and CEO Larry Baer said. "No team wins a World Series without a little magic, and our magic is you, our fans. Baseball is continuous. Every team, every generation writes its own chapter. How incredible is this? Right now, right here, our second world championship in three years. "This is our chapter."

Nashville, Tenn. – On Tuesday the Tennessee State women's basketball coaching staff concluded the first Head Coach Larry Inman summer camp for young girls around the Nashville area.
During the two-day event, 30 girls ages 6-15 improved their basketball skills by completing drills and receiving instruction from the TSU women's basketball coaching staff.
The kids started by breaking into groups and going to different stations on each of the Gentry Center's three courts to work on shooting, passing, dribbling and defense.
Coaches stressed a multitude of skills including proper free-throw shooting form, left-handed dribbling, post-up moves, bounce passing and on-ball defensive technique.
The girls scrimmaged each other towards the end of the day and the three-hour session concluded with every camper receiving a personalized certificate.
Head Coach Larry Inman closed the camp by calling everyone to huddle up and shout "TSU Tigers" in unison.
Hear Inman's thoughts on the camp below:

Baerecke is such an unusual surname, that sometimes I search databases just looking for anybody with the name. This was the case when I searched for "Baerecke" is the massive Genealogy Bank historic newspaper website.
There was a hit for a Max Baerecke in the September 1, 1880 Milwaukee Journal of Commerce.
Here is the headline:
Lady Elgin disaster? What's that? I immediately Googled it. Turns out it was a shipwreck on September 8, 1860. This piece was about a memorial commemorating the 20-year anniversary of the disaster.
The article was 1 1/2 columns long. I scanned the page until I zeroed in on Max Baerecke. He was listed as a survivor at this memorial event.
Wow. My third-great grandfather was a shipwreck survivor? I searched online for other articles and information about the disaster. Here is a September 12, 1860 New York Times article on the subject.
What I did not find, was Max Baerecke's name on any other list of survivors. Ship-wrecks.net didn't have his name. Nor did the book from which the list apparently came.
So how do I process this information? If Max Baerecke was a survivor of the Lady Elgin disaster, why didn't his name make it into the book? Then again, why would he show up at the 20th anniversary memorial if he wasn't on the Lady Elgin?
What I do know is that this Max Baerecke from Milwaukee is my Max Baerecke. There was only one Baerecke family in 30 years of Milwaukee City Directories and it was mine all mine. This family went back and forth between Chicago and Milwaukee. He was in the Civil War, but not Irish like the majority of ship passengers. He ended up serving in a unit with other German immigrants. He was also poor and did not speak English.
Was he looked over as a survivor? Did the author of the Lady Elgin shipwreck book miss this Milwaukee Journal of Commerce article when conducting research?
Maybe I should share this article with some of the people and historical societies that may be interested in the subject and let them utilize it as they see fit.
What's next on this subject? I'll be making a bee line for the FGS 2013 session "They Went Down With the Ship" about Great Lakes shipwrecks and led by Elizabeth Kelley Kerstens, CG. It's like FGS added this session just for me!
I'll let you know how it goes. Until then I'll just try to process the fact that if Max hadn't made it off the boat, there would be no We Tree Genealogy Blog.
P.S. Here is a video of the Lady Elgin as she rests today.

Local film wins best feature film award10/26/2012
Dr. Debra Johanyak
It was more than chance that led the film by the same name to win best feature film in the 7th Annual Colony Film Festival earlier this month.
According to a judge on the panel, it was the Hollywood-like opening minutes of the film, while attendees said it was the uplifting theme and inspiring message it left with them.
Written and directed by Wayne College Professor Dr. Debra Johanyak, "More Than Chance" is based on the true story of Russian-born Kelsey Minick who overcame tragedy suffered at the hands of her first adoptive father, to later find love and acceptance in the Minick family living in Akron. Along the way, she develops a special bond with troubled high school student Melissa Preston, and together they inspire one another to realize their individual dreams. The film is rated PG.
The Colony Film Festival is a showcase for emerging filmmakers from around the country. All proceeds from the event went toward the continued restoration of the Colony Theater located in historic downtown Marietta, Ohio. Previously called the Hippodrome, it was built for vaudeville productions in 1911 and has endured as a cultural center for the arts since then.
Film experience benefits teaching
"Filmmaking for me is a fun pastime as a visual medium of storytelling," says Johanyak, who teaches Shakespeare and His World at The University of Akron Wayne College. "Producing movies is impacting how I teach course material at Wayne College, in learning to use more visual elements."
Johanyak is currently producing a romantic comedy titled "House Calls." She says some crew members have Hollywood film experience that she believes will further improve the quality of this and future productions.
In addition to making movies, Johanyak is a successful author who has penned two books, "Shakespeare's World" and "Behind the Veil."
See the film trailer at "More Than Chance." The film is available for viewing on Netflix.
Wayne College is a regional campus of The University of Akron and offers a number of associate degree programs along with the first two years of general bachelor's degree courses for students who intend to complete their studies at the Akron campus or another college or university. Wayne College offers a Bachelor of Organizational Supervision (BOS) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree in addition to a number of noncredit, professional development classes.

Congress Decides To Ignore Privacy Concerns, Refuses To Even Consider Key CISPA Amendments
from the major-failure dept
Amazingly, CDT, who had been a major player fighting against CISPA had backed off its opposition on Tuesday, believing that the authors of CISPA really were willing to negotiate some changes in good faith. This fact was trumpeted by supporters of the bill to show "proof" that they were listening to constructive ideas. However, by barring the consideration of these amendments, they've shown their true colors. CDT is back to fully opposing the bill.

Jennifer Harvey was still several months away from her due date when she developed life-threatening high blood pressure, a condition known as preeclampsia.

The condition can threaten the life of the unborn baby and the mother.
Harvey was taken to The Regional Medical Center at Memphis, where doctors and nurses worked to lower her blood pressure and to monitor her unborn baby. When they couldn't detect the baby Sloane's heartbeat three days later, she was delivered months early in an emergency Cesarean section. A team of The MED's neonatal intensive care unit doctors and nurses was ready to care for Sloane as soon as they heard her faint cry.
She weighed just 2 pounds and 10 ounces at birth.
"Pictures don't do it justice," Harvey said. "She is our miracle baby."
Babies like Sloane benefit from the specialized training and equipment The MED is able to provide the hospital, says Tammie Ritchey, vice president of development and executive director of The MED Foundation, which raises funds and awareness for the hospital.
Ritchey is gearing up for the foundation's largest annual fundraiser, which will be held at The Peabody hotel Saturday, March 23.
So far, the response has been strong. Ritchey said she expects more than 800 to attend the gala, dubbed MED Night: A Soul Celebration 2013, and featuring soul legends like The Commodores, Ohio Players and The Spinners.
As the financial outlook for The MED has improved in recent years, so has that of the foundation, Ritchey said. According to data from GuideStar, the foundation received $900,608 in contributions and grants during 2010, compared to $711,477 during 2008. The foundation has averaged $5 million to $6 million in assets in recent years.
"People want to invest in a successful organization," Ritchey said. "As The MED has become clearer in their strategy for the future and the role they are going to play in health care, that's given our donors confidence."

Ritchey said The MED Foundation continues to make investments in the neonatal intensive care unit and other areas of the hospital. Right now, The MED Foundation is working with the hospital to replace and renovate the overall campus, including the women and infant's wing, the burn unit and the trauma center. Each of those areas will be renovated or completely rebuilt.
The foundation also has made significant investments in specialized equipment. Its purchase of neonatal isolettes for babies born very early has helped improved outcomes for premature babies like Sloane. The isolettes help regulate the ambient temperature and the baby's temperature.
"We don't just buy equipment and give it to the hospital," Ritchey said. "They sit down and tell us our priorities and the things they want to do over the next five years."
Premature babies are at a higher risk of dying and other serious complications. Between 2007 and 2009, about 25 percent of babies born at The MED and weighing between 1.3 pounds and 1.7 pounds died. That figure had dropped to 14 percent in 2010.
"If their temperature drops a lot, they don't have very good outcomes," Ritchey said. "The isolettes allow our staff to provide the kind of clinical care that the baby needs. This is just one thing we can do to remove the risk."
Today, Harvey credits The MED with saving Sloane's life, and her own.
While Harvey was hospitalized for two weeks after giving birth, Sloane remained in The MED's neonatal intensive care unit another 58 days. Because Sloane was born so early, she wasn't able to suck and swallow like other babies. Shortly before Thanksgiving, she had surgery to install a centerline to help her eat.
"Most moms get to bring their babies home, I had to go home without my baby," she said. "That's just not what you think when you are expecting."
Because of that, Harvey said she's grateful for the special bond Sloane's nurses formed with her daughter.
"They are taking care of your child when you can't be there," she said. "They are right there with your baby every step of the way."
Today, Sloane is a healthy and happy 2 1/2-year-old. Harvey recently took Sloane to visit the NICU ICU to visit the doctors and nurses who helped with her care.
"Sloane is alive today because of them," Harvey said.

TAMIU Opening Helen Richter
Helen Richter Watson
A home celebrating the art and life of the famed late Laredo artist Helen Richter Watson opens to the public Monday, June 6 in Texas A&M International University's Sue and Radcliffe Killam Library.
The Helen Richter Watson Art Gallery is a light-filled aerie that embraces the spectrum of Watson's (1926-2003) influence as both artist and teacher. It replicates her welcoming Houston Street studio, which mixed works of art within her home setting to create a gathering space that celebrated a life of art. Visitors will also find collected works by artists who were Watson's artist colleagues or friends.
Construction of the Gallery was made possible by a gift of legacy and love from the Dolly Richter Watson Foundation.
Affectionately known to family and friends as "Whitie," Watson was the daughter of Helen Richter and Horace Watson. The Richter family was prolific in Laredo's business and artistic heritage. Horace Watson, her father, was from New York and a Calvary officer stationed at Fort Macintosh when he and Helen Richter met.
Young Helen was fond of harvesting mud from the banks of the Rio Grande, footsteps from her home, to create clay pots of transitory beauty. This link with nature would only be strengthened with her art education and teaching career.
She earned her BA at California's Scripps College and her MFA at Claremont Graduate School. In addition to serving on the faculty at Chaffey College and Mount San Antonio College, she was Chair of the Ceramics Department at the famed Otis Art Institute from 1958-1979.
Watson became one of the nation's most highly regarded ceramics artists and educators. She firmly believed that with determination, all students wishing to pursue a career in the arts could accomplish their dreams and make a contribution to the art world.
Until her death in 2003, she maintained her studio home in Laredo, often welcoming young students and artists with special parties and eagerly anticipated dinners.
Project architects were Frank Architects, Inc. of Laredo and Pfluger Associates of San Antonio. Construction was by Alpha Construction of San Antonio. Gallery consultant was Ethel Shipton.
The Gallery is part of the Sue and Radcliffe Killam Library and observes the Library's hours of operation and all scheduled University holidays or closures. To coordinate visits by large groups, please contact 956.326.4483. More information is available at the Gallery's website, located at tamiu.edu/WatsonGallery.
For additional information, contact the Office for Institutional Advancement at 956.326.GIVE (4483), email vice president Candy Hein at email@example.com, or visit offices in the Killam Library, room 261.
Journalists who need additional information or help with media requests and interviews should contact the Office of Public Relations, Marketing and Information Services at firstname.lastname@example.com

4 Steps to making your computer immortal online!
Hi and welcome to this free report that tells you how you can download whatever you want online without getting the slightest danger of getting infected by a virus.This report simply offers 4 steps that tell you what to do that gives you rock hard protection against viruses.These four steps are:
1-Installing an Up-to-date Anti Virus Software
2-Installing a firewall.
3-Using File Extensions to your benefit.
4-Learning which websites and people to trust.
Getting Started:
Step 1:Using an Anti-Virus Software:
Using an Anti Virus Software is the first thing you should do.An Anti Virus program is a computer program that works in the background and keeps an eye on all that's going on inside your computer.Whenever it finds a program that's performing a malicious activity or one that intends to perform one,or notices any activity that could harm your computer or anything virus-like,it stops that activity at once and tells you about that virus and gives you certain useful options,like repairing the virus,deleting or quarantining the virus,or to ignore the virus(of course not recommended at all).It can also scan any file or folder that you suspect is a carrier of viruses.For example,you downloaded a file that claims to be a game.But you don't want to take a risk and want to confirm that this file isn't a virus.So,you simply scan that file for viruses using your anti virus software.You can do so by simply right clicking on that file and clicking on "Scan your viruses" or "Scan using _______" where _____ holds the name of your anti virus software.If this option is not available,you can scan that file using "Scan a file" option available inside your AVS(anti virus software).You can scan multiple files,or scan a whole folder in the same way.You can also scan your whole computer using "Scan my computer" option.This would take some time,probably one-two hours or more/less depending upon your computer's speed.This option would scan simply EVERY file and folder in your computer to see if it has a virus.If any virus is found,then you get the same bunch of useful options to repair the file,delete it,etc.You should scan your computer at least once a week to ensure maximum protection.
Keeping your Anti-Virus software up to date:
Normally,your AVS would come with protection against some thousand viruses.However,every month tens of new viruses are written and therefore,your AVS might not be able to detect the viruses that are written after your installing that AVS on your computer.For example,let us assume that you installed an AVS named X on your computer on 1st January,2003.On 15th January,a new virus named,say, ABC was written and started spreading around the internet.You download the ABC thinking its a game.However to ensure that its not a virus,you scan it using X.Now,since ABC was created after the installation of X on your computer,X wouldn't be able to detect that ABC is a virus because this virus wouldn't be in the virus database of X.So,you would run ABC on your computer thinking its harmless,which,infact,its not!
The solution:
The solution to this problem is quite simple.Update your anti virus software constantly.Whenever a new virus is detected,people provide updates for anti virus softwares so that they can protect the pcs they run on against the virus.Once you install an AVS,usually,whenever it detects an internet connection,it contacts its producer's website to see if any updates are available.If it finds any updates,it asks you if you would like to receive the updates so that you can be protected against new viruses.In this way,whenever new viruses are detected,you simply update your AVS so it can protect you against them.It is highly recommended that you constantly keep your AVS updated,otherwise,it will protect you only against old viruses and you would be completely unprotected against new viruses.
Which Anti Virus Software to use?
There are many AVS's available.However its recommended that you use only one of the popular ones.Below is a list of the popular Avs's.Just visit the website address given at the end to find out more about them:
Norton Anti Virus:
Pc Cillin:
Mc Afee:
Sophos Anti Virus:
You might have to click on the "Products and services" link on some of these websites to get to the actual anti virus thing.You can also search Google.com for Anti Virus Software to find out more.
Step 2:Firewalls
Have you ever heard of the terms "Hacking" and "hackers"?Most probably,you have.What hacking is,that,someone from another computer gains access to your computer and gets to view and access your files and stuff like that.A firewall is a kind of barrier that keeps such things away from your computer.A firewall is a software or a hardware device that filters the information coming through the internet.You can think of it,as,the information coming to your computer through the internet first passes through the firewall.If the firewall detects any suspicious data then it is not allowed through.The following figure explains how data transfers between your computer and the internet with a firewall installed:
Data from the Internet---------->Firewall------->Home Computer
The advantage of having a firewall is,that hackers do not gain access to your computer.It also protects you from many other unwanted things.Although some firewalls protect you from viruses,still,its worth the investment to install an anti virus software.I won't get into more details about firewalls because it includes some extremely technical things which I don't want to get into because you might be a novice with computers.Go through your firewall's user manual to find out more or visit:
Which Firewalls to Buy:
Below is a list of some of the popular firewalls:
Zone Labs:
Trustix AS:
Sun Microsystems:
Once you have installed a firewall,you should test its working.You can do so by visiting www.grc.com and trying their free Sheilds Up! security test.
Step 3:Using File Extensions to your benefit:
File extensions are the tiny little suffixes at the end of every file in your computer.Let us suppose you created a file in Microsoft Word.You named that file "me" and wrote anything in it.Say,you wrote a few lines about yourself.You saved that file in the folder "C:\me".Now when you open the folder "C:\ME" you see a file named "me.doc" in it.
OK..so you named the file "Me" but what's this ".doc" thing about?Well,this .doc is what's known as the file extension.Almost every file on your computer has file extensions.Just browse through your computer and almost every file you come across has an extension e.g ".exe,.bat,.jpeg,.gif,.txt" etc after the real file name.
NOTE:If you can't see the file extensions,then follow these steps:
1-Open My computer.
2-Go to View-Options and click on the View Tab.
3-Uncheck the "hide file extensions for known file types" checkbox,and choose the "show all files" radio button.
If you cannot see the options menu under view,then may be you should try these steps:
1-Open My Computer.
2-Click on Tools-Folder Options
3-Click on View Tab.
4- Uncheck the "hide file extensions for known file types" checkbox, and choose the "show hidden files and folders" radio button.
If none of these steps work for you,then open My Computer,Press F1.This would show up the "Help" portion of your computer.Search for "viewing file extensions" or "changing folder options" and follow the steps.
Anyways,file extensions describe what a file is and how the computer will handle the file.For example,a file with the extension ".jpeg" is supposed to be a photo or picture and the computer would use your favourite graphics editing software to view that file.Similarly,a file with the extension ".exe" is supposed to be a computer program and the computer would simply follow the instructions in that file.
Now,file extensions play a very important role in detecting viruses.Below is a list of the file extensions that are most likely to be viruses:
Any file with these extensions has 80% chances of being a virus.Therefore,whenever dealing with an untrusted person or website,never open files which have one of these extensions.You might receive emails that contain an attachment.Never download the attachment if it has one of the above mentioned extensions unless you have an up to date anti virus software and you can scan the file.
Below is the list of file extensions that have the minimum chances of being a virus:
You can download files with these extensions from the internet.
A little problem:
Although you choose the option not to hide file extensions,there are still some file extensions that wouldn't be displayed.For example,a file with the extension ".txt.shs" would be displayed as a harmless text file and Windows would hide the extension ".shs". This allows a virus writer to write a virus,give it a name with the extension ".shs" and forward it to people.Suppose a virus writer names it virus "textfile.txt.shs".Now,if someone examines this file under Windows,it would be displayed as "textfile.txt" and would occur as a completely harmless text file.In fact,that's how many virus writers spread their viruses.
The solution to this problem is by deleting a special entry from your Windows Registry.Carry out the following steps:
Note:Be extremely careful when working with Windows Registry,because a smallest mistake can produce extremely harmful results.Do only what is instructed and DO NOT play around with it.Also,be extremely careful.
Before carrying out the following process,make sure you have already set Windows to show all files.Do this by carrying out the steps mentioned in the beginning of Step-3.
Follow these steps:
Close all open program.Then:
1-Click on Start.
2-Click on Run.
3- Type "Regedit"
4-This would open up the Windows Registry Editor.
5-Click on Edit and click on Find.
6-Uncheck the "Keys" and "Data" entries under "Look at"
7-Type "NeverShowExt"" in the Find what Box and click Find Next.(Make sure you type the words exactly as given here.You may also copy these words and paste them in the Find what box".
8-When a value is found,right click on it,and click delete.
9-Press F3 again.This would once again search the whole registry and bring up with the next value containing "NeverShowExt".
10-Repeat step 9 and 10 until all values of NeverShowExt have been deleted.
That's it.Whenever you come across a file that has the extension .exe, .bat, .com,etc always scan it for viruses before opening it.Check out the above given extensions to know which extensions are dangerous and which ones are not.
The following table gives you a list of the various file extensions you may come across when working with windows,what those extensions mean and their possibility of being a virus:
Extension name: Meaning: Can it be a virus?
.exe Executable computer program Hell Yes
.Bat Dos batch File Yes
.Com Command file Yes
.Dll Data library used by programs Yes
.Ocx Active X control Yes
.swf Shockwave file Not really
.txt Text File Not really
.VBS Visual Basic Script file Yes
.Bmp Bitmapped Image file Not really
.Gif Image File No
.Jpeg Image File No
.Html/.htm Html File Yes
.Scr Screensaver File Yes
.Pif Not sure about this one Yes
.Ink Shortcut file Yes
.Log Log File Not really
.Shs Shell scrap or something Yes
.Zip Compressed Zip File Yes
*Please note that you should always be careful.Although I have tried my best to be as accurate as possible,still,we never know what might be the next thing that happens in the Virus industry.Therefore,do not blindly open a .Log file just because I told you in this table that it couldn't really be a virus.Always be careful.
Step-4: Learning which websites and people to trust:
Well,as for the people,I can't really say anything.It just depends on your sense of judging people.I mean,you can always trust on someone whom you know in real life.I mean,why would your best friend send you a virus?However,there are some new viruses that send themselves in an email that pretends to be from your loved one and asks you to download the attachment.Here I again want you to use the file extension tricks you have learnt in step 3.Step As for other people whom you meet online,well,someone might send you a file that claims to be his/her photo but is a virus in reality.Here again you will use the file extension tricks you learnt earlier to see if they are telling the truth.For example,if Tanya sends you a file named "myphoto.exe" and tells you that its her photo,then of course you could yell "Hey,its an executable program file,it can't be a photo.If it were a photo it would have used the extension .jpeg or .gif or .bmp." You should also use your sense of judging people.I mean,try to judge if a person just wants to be your friend or is he/she trying to make you download a file or attachment.Here's a tip that always worked for me.Whenever someone starts begging you to download a file or accept a file transfer or open a file again and again,I mean,if he goes anxious trying to make you do something that has to do something with a file or with your computer or anything like that,then there's a 99% chance that he's trying to trick you into downloading a virus.
Now to the websites.Well,if you visit a website that claims to provide free games or software downloads,then you should judge it by the site's appearence.A website with a professional look is less likely to be trying to spread viruses.However,a website with a black background and little description of the stuff it provides for download is more likely to be trying to spread a virus.If a website allows you to download a demo version of a game/software/anything,then try checking out if they really can accept orders.If they provide orders accepting service,then the common sense says that they are rather trying to sell a virus free product than to spread viruses.I mean,they have to pay to get that credit card processing account.And most virus writers do not dare to spend money to spread their creation.So..you can trust the websites that can accept orders the most.Also,if a website can identify who they are,I mean,give their phone No. or contact information,and you are SURE that the information they provide isn't fake.Then they are also less likely to be virus spreading guys.
With that,I come to the end of this report.I hope what you learnt proved useful to you.Feel free to forward this report to your friend or to print it out and give it as a present to your friends or to give it away in anyway you like but don't sell it for money.I wish you best of luck for your computing life.
Happy Computing.

Mercedes-Benz USA was indeed playing a cat-and-mouse game with BMW when it delayed reporting its 2011 U.S. sales in a tight race to be the No. 1 luxury brand in the United States, CEO Steve Cannon admitted this morning during breakfast with Crain Communications editors and reporters.
"We were testing the numbers and the wire was waiting on a phone call. We wanted to see how far we could go," Cannon said. "It got a little silly -- we probably would not do that again."
Mercedes-Benz and BMW delayed reporting their December and year-end 2011 sales for a day, firing up speculation over possible hanky-panky. Instead of reporting on Jan. 4 when most other automakers did, the two German luxury brands waited until the next day.
BMW edged Mercedes-Benz with U.S. sales of 247,907 units. Mercedes reported sales of 245,192 vehicles.
The results officially ended Lexus' 11-year reign atop the U.S. luxury sales rankings. Mercedes won the title once, in 1999, before ceding the U.S. crown to Lexus. It was BMW's first.
"BMW had to see what our figures were first," so Mercedes-Benz held off reporting for as long as it could, Cannon said.
How important was the race? "We would love to be No. 1, but it doesn't sell cars. The media get a kick out of it for a week and we brag about it for a week and it would not matter anymore," Cannon said. "It would have been nice to lay it at the feet of our team."

Rule would limit immigrant driver's license calls
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois wants to head off businesses that are swamping the Secretary of State's office with robotic requests for appointments for special immigrant driver's licenses.
Appointments are required for the licenses, which are designed for immigrants living in the United States illegally. Some businesses have promised to speed up the process for a steep fee and are using automated dialing machines that are tying up the phone system.
The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/1kzfgkX ) that state licensing officials want a limit on the number of times someone can call the appointment system. The rule, if adopted, would limit the number of calls from an individual or a computer address to three each day.
About 53,000 Illinois immigrants living in the United States illegally have received the special driver's licenses made possible by a new state law. More than 100,000 applicants have scheduled appointments since the program began. The licenses, which cost $30, may be used only for driving and have a purple border instead of red.
"Our goal all along is always customer service," said Henry Haupt, a spokesman for Secretary of State Jesse White.
Applicants must have lived in Illinois for more than a year, show proof of insurance and present documents including a valid foreign passport or a consular card. A vision test, written test and road test are required. The special license is valid for three years.

Your 2010 Pro Bowl Cowboys
Sadly, the 2009 season ended for the Dallas Cowboys a couple of weeks ago, but this weekend when the Pro Bowl kicks off you might reconsider tuning in. In addition to the six Cowboys elected and Terence Newman who was added last week, two more will join the Cowboys coaching staff on the NFC roster. Andre Gurode will not be playing because of knee surgery.
Tony Romo and Mike Jenkins will play in the game due to injury of the elected starters. Romo was chosen to replace Brett Favre (ankle injury). Jenkins will replace Antoine Winfield (foot injury).
That makes a total of nine Cowboys attending this year's Pro Bowl in Miami. Philadelphia is tied with Dallas for having the most players at the game. It is also the sixth most selections in franchise history.
Your 2010 Pro Bowl Cowboys:
Miles Austin, wide receiver
Leonard Davis, guard
Andre Gurode, center (injured)
Mike Jenkins, cornerback
Terence Newman, cornerback
Jay Ratliff, interior lineman
Tony Romo, quarterback
DeMarcus Ware, outside linebacker
Jason Witten, tight end
Head Coach Wade Phillips and his staff

The common name for insects in the order Plecoptera, stoneflies, is derived from the preference of the nymphs for the rocky substrates of streams, rivers, or lake margins. Stoneflies are important predators and shredders in aquatic ecosystems and are an excellent source of food for many fish. As a family, they are especially sensitive to human disturbance in watersheds and thus can be excellent indicators of water quality. According to The Nature Conservancy and NatureServe (2000), stoneflies are the most at risk group of all insects in North America, with 43% of all stonefiles vulnerable to extinction, imperiled or extinct. Unfortunately, the conservation needs of this family are often overlooked. The Xerces Society has developed species profiles for three at-risk stoneflies of the intermountain west in the red list of aquatic invertebrates.
Stoneflies make up one of the most ancient insect orders. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis, so the aquatic nymphs look similar to the terrestrial adults. Some adults even retain gill remnants on their thorax or neck. Stonefly adults are generally weak fliers and stay close to stream, river, or lake margins where the nymphs are likely to be found. The nymphs occur mostly in flowing water, but can also be found under the stones of rocky lake margins or (in the case of one species in the family Capniidae) deep in Lake Tahoe, California.
Plecoptera typically have flattened, somewhat roach-like bodies that are well-adapted for living under and between rocky substrates. Their shape also helps them move aerodynamically in fast-flowing water. There are two tails, or cerci, at the tip of the abdomen, each with many small segments. They have two claws at the end of each leg and usually have finger-like gills on the head, thorax, or between the tails.

Place to Buy Xiaomi Mi 2 with Cheapest Price
The Xiaomi Mi 2 aka Xiaomi Phone 2 is definitely one of the top China phones that wow-ed the world. Because of its awesome and overwhelming specs, it is being anticipated by many smartphone enthusiasts, and include me on the list.
In case you still haven't heard about this quad-core phone, that is said to be the first commercial device sporting the quad-core Krait processor; here's a shortlist of the Xiaomi Mi 2 highlights:
- 1.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor
- 4.3 inch multi-touch capacitive touchscreen, Sharp ASV TFT screen, 720p display
- 8MP CMOS camera, auto focus, LED flashlight, 2MP front camera
- High capacity Li-ion battery, 2000mAh (3000mAh upgrade available)
For more info, feel free to read my Xiaomi Mi 2 review on its specs, and everything related.
So now, the question that is being asked by many of us is:
Where to buy this Xiaomi Mi 2 phone, on cheapest price?
Many online shops has been listing this Xiaomi Phone 2 already, even if they do not have the phone in stock yet. It then becomes a pre-order basis as this phone is expected (and hopefully) to arrive on late September-October, or just before the year ends
(unless Xiaomi keeps up on its announcement).
I know, this phone was announced to have an SRP of just $313 (1990yuan). Still, take note that the price might change once it gets officially released on stock for market. So we shall stay on our foot regarding the pricing.
Here's a reason why I do not recommend getting this phone very early now:
Price might subject to change and you might be shedding more money if you get it via a pre-order. The price of the Xiaomi Mi 2 might go lower than expected.
But another thought just messes up with the decision of whether buying this phone earlier or not. Here's why I advice you to get it up-front, with respect to its official release:
You will be one of the first to have the awesome phone. Then the stock might easily get shorted, and once this happens; in respect to the demand, price might get on a long way higher. That sucks.
So let's get back to the thought on getting this one on preorder. What surprised me on seeing this phone on some Chinese online store listings is, it was freakingly overpriced!
List of sites selling Xiaomi Mi 2 on pre-orders:
Let me show you some, I bet you are familiar with some of these sites.
$399.99 on android-sale. I never had an experience with them, the first time I heard of them being mentioned on other tech related blogs is: I honestly thought that they have low pricing on such goods as they are used as pricing reference for some upcoming devices. Seeing this, is uh, its up for you to decide.
$399 on etotalk. What I noticed on them is, when the phone isn't on stock yet, they put $999 as pricing on their listing. But a reply on a visitor's comment let us confirm that they will sell the Xiaomi Mi 2 phone on $399 price tag.
$430 on ali express. Well, obviously seems overpriced but yet they say that it is free shipping via DHL. Somehow explains that fact, but still it is really priced high. Another misconception on my end, as I thought that alibaba is a better place to get such kind of goods at relatively lower budget pricing.
$499 on merimobiles. lol wtf? Are they selling an iPad here? lol. What I know with this is, its not yet free shipping so if you are planning to get it
(unless you really are some rich douchebag) from them via DHL, you need to add some few more bucks for the shipping fee. I definitely know that they aren't the place to go when you are really on tight budget. But I know that they are legit, based on my personal experience in the past.
$369 on Fastcardtech. The lowest I could ever find. Sweet deal! Obviously, it is my winner and the sole answer on the said question. Not bad at $369, for a trusted Chinese company in this business. If you really got the itch to have this phone on your hand, then Fastcardtech is your best shot. Its an honest and dear advice. Click here to go on their official Xiaomi M2 listing page.
I do not have a long list of Chinese stores that do exists online, but even most of the shops I just heard and known aren't listing this Xiaomi Phone 2 yet. I just tried to check out those stores that I can remember. If you want to add some, let us know so we can as well check out their Xiaomi Mi 2 listing sale.
To sum it up, this is why I really recommend Fastcardtech. Of all the online stores I know, they are the one with lowest pricing on such kinds of goods. Added the fact that I trust them and never disappointed me with their quality of goods and service, I strongly recommend Fastcardtech in case you are planning to buy the Xiaomi Mi-2 quad core phone as well.

Wet, Wild and Windy Day For Audi Melges 20 Fleet At Bacardi Miami Sailing Week 2014
7 March 2014
Miami, FL - Day two at Bacardi Miami Sailing Week 2014 (BMSW) hosted by Coconut Grove Sailing Club and supported by Melges USA, delivered premium racing conditions and two more races for a total of five complete.
Now seated first overall is reigning Audi Melges 20 World Champion John Taylor on Ninkasi. Submitting a 3-5 score, Taylor has managed a slim two point lead over second place finisher Drew Freides on Pacific Yankee. BMSW marks the second time that Friedes has effectively sailed in the class. "Today was really intense — the most fun I've ever had sailing — these boats are so awesome," commented Freides post racing. "The last leg of the last race was a bit hairy, but so much fun."
In third overall is Russ Lucas on Shimmer. Rounding out the top five overall is Corinthian division leader Cesar Gomez Neto on Portobello in fourth, and Michael Kiss on Bacio finishing fifth.
The first race of the day commenced on time under spectacular sunshine, a steep chop with big wave action and plenty of breeze. The breeze was rock steady all day but intense, ranging 16-20 with gusts periodically up to 22-24. Fresh out of the gate in Race Four, John Kilroy's Samba Pa Ti turned up the heat for an amazing win. Alessandro Rombelli's STIG moved up to finish second on the final downwind leg, while Taylor took third.
Race Five saw the breeze build a little more generating a series of general recalls at the start. Finally teams went racing shortly after noon with Kiss coming on strong all race long to take the win. Although Jay Golison on It's All Good crossed the finish line in second, his ZFP set him back to tenth, leaving Richard Davies' Section 16 firmly in third.
In the Corinthian Division, Gomez Neto acquired a 12-7, while top Miami Winter Series forerunner John Brown on Blind Squirrel submitted a 4-4. He is the only other team today besides Kiss to turn in a single-digit card.
Later on in the evening, teams gathered for the famous MELGES ROCKS party! Teams rocked the night away to an awesome DJ and free beer and wine — complements of Melges USA! Teams from everywhere attended making it the biggest and most incredible bash in the grove. Buy a Melges 20 today and get in on the full experience!
Lastly, a very special thanks to the Flat Stanley/Hooligan Racing Team for having the IM20CA Press team aboard. The news, videos, updates from the course and photos would not be possible if it weren't for your generosity and kindness for having us aboard.
Racing continues on Saturday and early forecast predictions indicate a lighter, yet wonderful final day of competition. The Race Committee will attempt to complete three final races.
As with other Audi Melges 20 events in North America and around the world, racing updates will be posted online at the Official Audi Melges 20 Facebook Page. Tune in for the latest racing information, results, video interviews, and photos. Race reports, press releases and photos will be available online each day post racing at melges20.com.

This is a super easy costume to make for your little girl from a pillowcase. You can make this for no money what-so-ever from a pillowcase you already have. Fun for dressup play.
Items needed:
- Cotton pillow case
- Scissors
- Felt for flowers
- Fabric glue or Fusible interfacing
- Ribbon for ties
- Needle & thread
- Wash and iron pillowcase.
- Lay pillowcase flat, and referring to photo/diagram, cut armholes and neck area, leaving only the shoulders attached at the top of the pillowcase seam. Then cut bottom three inches off of the pillowcase at the open end. Depending on the height of the child, you may want to cut off additional length.
- Make lengthwise cuts from the bottom of the pillowcase to form the "hula skirt". These will be like strips.
- With needle and thread, attach a 12 inch length of ribbon to each side seam at waist. These will tie in the back.
- Cut felt leaves and flowers and attach with fabric glue or attach with iron-on fusible fabric.
LEI - Make a tissue paper lei with colored tissue paper, needle and thread. Crumple pieces of paper and string together to make the Lei.
FLOWER - Make a felt flower and attach to a barrett or bobby pin for the hair.

Mark and I were downtown, on an errand ride, stopped at an intersection, and both spotted the bra on a hydrant. He snapped it while I recited all the possible ways that went down: "a drunken night, did someone lose this bra, did they take it off, where are the matching panties?"
The photo is also a great example of all the interesting things that can happen on rides. This one time, I was riding along with Marcus and by accident we found ourselves at the front of an AIDS ride finish. So, what did we do? Rode right through the finish, like we'd done the whole ride, and celebrated with everyone else!
What interesting things have happened to you when riding? Met a pro, a star, found a garden gnome, met your lover?

... the ... last question you've said that ... retail investors ... I haven't maybe been as excited on on this run up ... on it's it's the money on the sidelines argument ... I gotta ask you and tell me I explain that's because I've always been confused ... when I buy stocks of unsold new stock ... the same amount of cash is on the sidelines to switches from my count to somebody else it ... will help me understand how how that ... actually drives the market higher ... well I mean it's it was for many ... stocks go higher because that in in theory there's going to be to buy it for one seller ... I mean clearly if somebody ... somebody wants to buy a stock somebody has to sell to them ... and ... you know otherwise there's no transaction ID is more buyers and sellers not receive the market ... can attend ago I of what salads and ... it was chosen by the get the opposite I mean that's a very simplistic response but it the ended the day it's all about supply and demand ... but the question about the retail investor is interesting because ... and I don't know maybe you see Portis a guinea pig but seaport we have thousands of retail customers we have an on line trading product ... and I would I would share with you that the now perhaps this is the pour specific ... and maybe were doing something wrong ... but ... that the fact is the phone simply are not bringing any normally ... when the market heats up and I can be bought from the upside but for the period was going to now war on the downside when there's a lot of the motion of selling ... the phone to jump on off the hopes and I would ... I would share with you that that in fact is that the case the level of ... the level of interest on the part of the retail public at least make it it's the port ... it is is pretty anemic I mean it's it's a really have the same ... the group of active customers and seen the plate no matter what the markets doing ... ah but would not seen a lot of new accounts being opened when I've seen a lot of interest ... from people who were so would dormant and I think the reasons for this quite frankly are twofold number one ... the the wounds and a very deep wounds and scars from the ... financial crisis of two thousand and eight in two thousand and nine with the market with our forward fifty percent from the trade ties ... to the trading lows ... I think are still wide open ... and that and that and a and they still hurt ... and ... the other is I think that the headline news remains relatively negative ... and I think people would just nervous they're just afraid that a wannabe ... they don't wanna come to desert ... when the appetizer and a main course of Ardi been surfed ... to the line ...
