Favorite Albums
edited November 2012 in Non-Animal Collective Discussion
I like making lists and reading other people's, so I thought I'd make a top 10 favorite albums thread. There is probably already one somewhere on this site, it seems like that happens every time I make a new thread haha. no particular order: 1. MPP 2. The Evil One (Plus One)- Roky Erickson 3. Strawberry Jam 4. Season Dreaming- Blind Man's Colour 5. Oracular Spectacular- MGMT 6. Person Pitch 7. Legend- Bob Marley 8. Feels 9. Fall Be Kind 10. Chronicle- top 20- Creedance Clearwater Revival What are your top 10 favorite albums?
1. Here Comes The Indian 2. Feels 3. Merriweather 4. Spirit 5. NMH - Aeroplane 6. Person Pitch 7. The Books - The Lemon of Pink 8. Sung Tongs 9. Strawberry Jam 10. Radiohead - In Rainbows In Rainbows is there just because it's the first album that really opened my eyes to a wide world of music beyond what anyone in my high school listened to. Clearly that world isn't so wide when it comes to my favorites though, ha.
I screwed up, ignore this post.
1. The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me - Brand New 2. Float - Aesop Rock 3. Tomboy 4. Hurtbreak Wonderland - World's End Girlfriend 5. By The Throat - Eyedea & Abilities 6. Fevers And Mirrors - Bright Eyes 7. Fall Be Kind 8. In the Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel 9. Grey Oceans - CocoRosie 10. Phantom on the Horizon - The Fall of Troy These aren't exactly in order, and there are plenty of other albums I love just as much. I tried to make my list diverse though. MPP would be on the list but I'm a little burnt out on it right now, so I haven't been listening to it lately. Brand New's The Devil And God was one of those albums that vastly expanded my taste in music, not to mention getting me through high school and helping me work out my ideas about god and pain. Before then all I really listened to was punk revival, pop punk, hardcore, and screamo. It got me into more progressive, slower, and less uppity music. It also introduced me to shoegaze bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain, and My Bloody VaValentine.
It makes me so happy TDAGARIM is your favorite. Brand New was the first big group i saw when i was 15 in chicago
In Order: 1. Panda Bear-Person Pitch (2007) 2. The Avalanches-Since I Left You (2000) 3. Mr. Bungle-Disco Volante (1995) 4. Animal Collective-Sung Tongs/Strawberry Jam (2004/07) 5. Ween-The Mollusk (1997) 6. Can-Tago Mago (1971) 7. XTC-Skylarking (1986) 8. Animal Collective-Merriweather Post Pavilion (2009) 9. Manic Street Preachers-The Holy Bible (1994) 10. Death Grips-The Money Store (2012) 11. AC-Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished (2000) 12. Battles-Mirrored (2007) 13. Aphex Twin-Drukqs (2001) 14. Nirvana-In Utero (1993) 15. The Prodigy-Music For the Jilted Generation (1994)
[quote=thepurplebottle6]It makes me so happy TDAGARIM is your favorite. Brand New was the first big group i saw when i was 15 in chicago[/quote] Deja Entendu is pretty close to being just as good imho. I like Daisy but it took a while to grow on me. And You're Favorite Weapon is good (especially in songs like soco), but it's too immature of a sound. Fightoffyourdemons had a lot of good ideas to. I've only seen them live once so far, I was like 16 I think, but I've had the privilege of going to concerts since I was twelve. It was still memorable though, since they were one of my favorite bands. You listen to Manchester Orchestra? [quote=ElCamino]Ween-The Mollusk (1997)[/quote] It's been quite a while since I've listened to Ween. I'd have to say 12 Golden Country Greats is my favorite album by them, but Hey There Fancy Pants is the song I think of when someone mentions them for some reason. It gets in your fucking brain man.
captainbaconman, garbage by aesop rock is such a good song
Daisy is made to be heard live, at least thats what i read somewhere. Deja is good as well but not a gem to me. Your Favorite Weapon hits me hard sometimes.. But actually Manchester Orchestra opened up for Brand New when i saw them, I've seen em twice now and also went to one of Andy Hull's solo shows. I like their old stuff more than new. I saw Ween at Lolla two years ago, they rule!!
Ohai there :ar! 1) Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam 2) Avey Tare - Down There 3) Joanna Newsom - Ys 4) Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest 5) Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion 6) Radiohead - Kid A 7) We Must Become Pitiless Censors of Ourselves - John Maus 8) Turn on the Bight Lights - Interpol 9) of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? 10) Panda Bear - Tomboy 11) Sufjan Stevens - Age of Adz 12) Danielson Famile - Fetch the Compass Kids 13) Parallax - Atlas Sound 14) Animal Collective - Fall Be Kind 15) Deerhoof - Friend Oppurtunity
I used to listen to 'Ships' by Danielson all the time.. people generally found it more annoying than AC even, haha.
You really like Age of Adz over Sufjan's other stuff? Personally, Illinois and it's b-sdes are my favorite. And that album has a looooot of b-sides.
[quote=Xiomera]I used to listen to 'Ships' by Danielson all the time.. people generally found it more annoying than AC even, haha.[/quote] Yeah most people mind his voice grating, you kind of have to get into it. It's so fun after a while though. [quote=CaptainBaconMan]You really like Age of Adz over Sufjan's other stuff? Personally, Illinois and it's b-sdes are my favorite. And that album has a looooot of b-sides.[/quote] Illinois is a great album and when it was released I loved it but over the years I got sick of it. Now it's a bit over-exuberant where I find Age of Adz more straight forward with less meandering. Plus electoniiiiiks!
if i had to ask anyone in this thread to make me a mixtape that would be glued to my car's cassette deck in 1994, it would be elcamino
[quote=Ticonderoga]captainbaconman, garbage by aesop rock is such a good song[/quote] You should check out the Appleseed EP, it's close to his best stuff. I didn't really feel None Shall Pass or Skelethon, not sure why. [quote=thepurplebottle6]Daisy is made to be heard live, at least thats what i read somewhere. Deja is good as well but not a gem to me. Your Favorite Weapon hits me hard sometimes..But actually Manchester Orchestra opened up for Brand New when i saw them, I've seen em twice now and also went to one of Andy Hull's solo shows. I like their old stuff more than new.I saw Ween at Lolla two years ago, they rule!![/quote] Yeah, I was going to the nearby show in that tour, but I didn't get to. I ended up seeing them in there post studio daisy period, so yeah they played a lot of it live for me. I don't normally judge albums by how their live performances sound though, since most of the bands I listen to mix it up considerably live. Weirdly enough it's easier to understand his screaming live. But yeah, Jessey Lacey even said "Go out and download our new album, I'm sure it's somewhere on the internet already." I ended up getting it for free anyways, and a bunch of other swag. Street teams are the shit. But yeah, I saw Manchester at 2007 Bonnaroo when it was really just their first album. I kind of miss that sound, but they turned darker. Although there is his wonderful side project Right Away, Great Captain!. Have you heard it?
@CaptainBaconMan Yeah, by saying I went to Andy Hull's solo show I meant RAGC! but it wasn't ideal- very small venue with a bunch of people packed in shoulder to shoulder during the middle of summer, sweating your tits off. he sounded fantastic though, and I was like 3rd row from the stage. his voice is so captivating to me
and captain-vating to th' kap tan!
[quote=thepurplebottle6]Daisy is made to be heard live, at least thats what i read somewhere. [/quote] I saw them during their Canadian tour last summer, and the material from Daisy was just.. impressive. Of course, I could be biased since Daisy's my favourite record of theirs (and possibly my favourite ever). [quote=claudeavecvin]Xiomera said:Illinois is a great album and when it was released I loved it but over the years I got sick of it. Now it's a bit over-exuberant where I find Age of Adz more straight forward with less meandering. Plus electoniiiiiks![/quote] Illinois was the first Sufjan album I picked up. But I agree, Age of Adz is a much easier album to listen to over and over and over again. Has anyone listened to Silver & Gold yet? I think Christmas Unicorn might be my favourite Sufjan song ever. I think my favourite albums are something like Strawberry Jam, Daisy, Age of Adz, In Rainbows, Now Now - Threads, Mother Mother - O My Heart, Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary, Modest Mouse - Good News I found out the other day that Isaac Brock produced Apologies to the Queen Mary, and I think Win Butler was involved somehow too.
because he's MY butler!
christmas unicorn live was a beast to behold!
I am incredibly jealous right now.
whoops! what the HELL
[quote=CaptainBaconMan]1. The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me - Brand New[/quote] degausser and limosine are such powerful songs.
[quote=G.O. !]still wish i had seen him on the age of adz tour though! now THAT would have been a time![/quote] You can say that again. [quote=vesufius]degausser and limosine are such powerful songs.[/quote] And don't forget Luca and (I know, I know, it's the single. But sill.) Jesus Christ.
funny you mention Luca. Its my least favorite on the album. Mainly because of how the scream in the middle of the song just comes out of nowhere and scares the hell out of me each time. I love Jesus Christ (lol)
iiiii llooooovee yooooouuu jeeessuu-uuus kaa-riii-iiii-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiist. Really? Shoot, that's the main reason I love Luca. A lot of bands try to pull that off, and most of the time it comes off as cliche. With BN though, I almost drove off the road though the first time I listened to it. Also, lets get nerdy and over-analyze those two songs for a second. The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me has both Jesus Christ, the most soothing song on the album, and Luca (Lucifer), the most jarring song. Both songs also have a similar structure of verse-chorus-verse-chorus-climax. I think some of the subtle things Lacey does are absolute genius.
whatever comes to mind Finding jerry garcia anthem of the sun american pie the mask and the mirror merrywheather post pavillian undun down there dark side of the moon 40 oz to freedom a live one
i cant wait to check out brand new now, so i can dip in my oar.
Yo toomanytrees that makes a lot of sense! I have to admit though, i didnt know Luca meant Lucifer ">
I'm not sure if Luca directly translates to Lucifer, but it is the root word that the name Lucifer is built off. Any sort of mythology gets weird like that with its names with different translations and whatnot. I learned that Jesus and Joshua are the same name the other day :P
wooden ships on the water!
I forget what Jebus name originally was. Jeshwe or somthing like that.
Yeshua, that's his name
meddle>dsotm !!!!
e-manual .... mule / manure! MANNY MOE! kinda like his brother Jimmy!
yes! i love that band / album! the other stuff before was groovy too... the all vocal mini album and the bonus album / earlier songs... king king boo he is spooky spooky spooky! i'm talking about shells shells shells!
Updated! My top 20 albums as of March 29, 2013 1. Panda Bear-Person Pitch (2007) 2. The Avalanches-Since I Left You (2000) 3. Animal Collective-Sung Tongs/Strawberry Jam (2004/07) 4.

This is going to be a bit of a long story, but I've got to start somewhere and am looking for help.
I'm a 30 year old guy from Holland and about 4 years ago I got engaged to a girl in New Jersey. Back then we'd often cruise through the country, and sometimes her parents would show me the countryside as well. One day they told me they were going to take a drive and we wound up visiting a ghosttown. I used to have pictures of it, but sadly I lost those when I lost my phone back then as well. Flash-forward to nowadays; I'm no longer engaged and all contact between me and her is gone, including that with her parents. Meaning; I can't ask them for help.
I have looked through all pages related to your ghost towns in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Delaware but can't seem to find the town I've been to. My memory might trick me but here's what I think I do remember;
- We left from a place close to Newark, New Jersey and then drove to the Delaware river. I think this was a two hour drive
- It was a town partially located in a forest.
- It had a few houses (still having residents or at least people in there looking at us from behind the window)
- No cars located near the houses but there was a parking nearby where a few cars were parked.
- A few sheds with open carriages in them.
- A lot of ancient farming equipment which either seemed to be on display or was just spread around the forest.
- No horses or any other animals, which I thought was really strange back then as those carriages needed to moved around, right?
- It was very tidy, meaning that the lawn seemed to be mown about every few days
- There did some to be some electricity there but can't remember if there were any electricity lines there.
- It was very sunny that day, a thing I'm mentioning because the weather is mentioned on the website as well.
- No streets but just a lot of open fields.
- No ruins of anything. All houses/cabins seemed to be in good condition
- No shops, nothing.
- There was a small house/cabin in the forest that showed someone was keeping up maintenance as it had tools and paperwork laid out.
- There also was a large wooden white church where they still held services as Bibles were still laid out on the wooden benches. I'm not religious but thought the building was stunning.
- I vaguely remember a waterfall being close by, but can't remember if that was actually near the ghost town or a couple of miles further down the road.
I am aware considering how many ghost towns there are in the U.S.A. that this might point out to any town out there, but like I said; I got to start somewhere.
The reason why I'd like to know where this was is because ghost towns have always fascinated me. There really aren't any towns like these in Western Europe and my ignorant *** thought America wouldn't have any of these either, I thought they were a thing of the past. If people ask me what the highlights of my visits to America have been I often think about this stuff, yet it can't really explained - you've got to experience walking around one to really feel what it's like. It certainly surprised me how much I loved this quiet place and I'd love to find some pictures of it again.
I hope you can help me with this, or point me in the right direction. Many thanks in advance,

(Note to Editors: For a press copy of "Digital Deals: Strategies for Selecting and Structuring Partnerships," please contact Ann Pryor at McGraw-Hill, (212) 904-4078 o firstname.lastname@example.com.)
Los Angeles — The recent tangle between AT&T and Comcast Corp. over broadband communications reflects the ever-changing world of digital deals, as companies pursue strategic partnerships and scramble for space in the global marketplace.
The type of dynamic being played out by AT&T and Comcast puts markets in a whirl, says George T. Geis, adjunct professor at UCLA Anderson and author of the new book, "Digital Deals: Strategies for Selecting and Structuring Partnerships" (McGraw-Hill).
"Deal-making and partnerships have always been a large part of the way organizations work. But today it's been ratcheted up a level because there is so much more complexity in the markets. The number of possible combinations one can put together is much different than in the days of Henry Ford," said Geis, who co-authored the book with his son George S. Geis, a manager at McKinsey & Company.
"Digital Deals" provides a blueprint for planning and executing sound business development strategy. Geis and Geis explore classic deal structures, including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, minority equity investments, commerce alliances and spin-offs. Throughout the book, they examine why traditional deal approaches must be rethought in the new economy. In addition to AT&T, the authors use case studies from Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, AOL and other big merger winners of the past decade to illustrate various new approaches that work, along with those that don't work.
"Because telecommunications, technology and other markets are constantly changing, companies need to systematically analyze their organizational DNA," said the elder Geis, who teaches in the areas of information technology, accounting and finance.
"Executives are hungry for a systematic way to make sense of complex markets, but they aren't sure which deals to do or how to structure key relationships so as to avoid being marginalized," said George S. Geis. The bottom line is that organizations of all sizes need to craft a digital deal strategy based upon a company's core competencies and the complementary "choke points" in a market.
The father-and-son team proposes an eight-step, market-modeling framework for competitive positioning and strategic partnering in the following sections:
Crafting a Systematic Deal Strategy — explores the 21st-century ramifications and complexities of partnerships and presents a systematic framework for selecting appropriate digital deals.
Structuring Digital Deals — examines how executives in companies from Intel to AT&T established and executed the five primary types of deal structures. These structures include acquisitions and mergers, joint ventures, minority equity investments, advertising and commerce alliances, and spin-offs and tracking stocks.
Putting It All Together — explores the correlation between deal rationale and deal structure, and offers guidance for building a system that supports digital deal analysis and action.
In examining digital deal structures, the book cites AT&T's restructuring plan as an example of how an organization uses spin-offs to carve out a new company from existing assets. According to the book, the number of corporate spin-offs has increased in the new economy, as many firms decide that size is not a virtue. The book also cites examples of when spin-offs don't work.
"Corporate strategy means being able to move quickly, but also being able to move smartly," George T. Geis said. He noted that one of the most pressing questions facing the technology industry is how to stimulate the build-out of broadband. "It boils down to a question of business models, figuring out how all significant players — from content to communications — can develop business models that work and support an entire ecosystem."

Running straight through the sandy flatlands of scrub oak and the state forest, this is West Tisbury's main middle class neighborhood, full of children, dogs, carpenters and fishermen, many of whom built their own homes in the 1980s when the town was a magnet for young families. The subdivisions back up to the state forest with its many miles of bike paths and hiking trails bordered by low bush blueberries. Whippoorwill Farm, the West Tisbury School, Nat's Farm and Scotchman's Bridge Lane all lie off Old County Road.

Republican leaders sought to downplay positive economic news today, saying that although the drop in the unemployment rate was welcome, President Barack Obama should be doing more.
The unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 percent, the lowest in four years, as the economy added 114,000 jobs in September, according to the Labor Department.
Speaker John Boehner released a statement calling on Obama and Senate Democrats to work with House Republicans on jobs legislation, which he asserts would have even better effects on the economy.
"While there is positive news in today's report, job creation is far too slow and the unemployment rate is far too high," the Ohio Republican said in a statement. "Middle-class families deserve better than perpetually high unemployment. We can strengthen our economy and help get the American people back to work - but it's going to take leadership from the White House. And today, we're just not seeing any."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) also piled on. "While today's unemployment report offered some encouraging news, it simply isn't good enough. 7.8 percent unemployment should not be cause for celebration. Millions have given up looking for a job, and left the workforce. The workforce participation rate hasn't been this low since Jimmy Carter was president. America needs a new direction."
Despite Cantor's assertion, the jobs report noted that the drop in unemployment was not caused by the long-term unemployed giving up on finding jobs. Instead, the report said the labor force actually expanded.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, however, said it is House Republicans who refuse to do the work necessary to revive the economy.
"Congress should be in session right now working to create jobs and grow our economy. Yet, rather than do the work of the American people, Republicans decided to head home early to campaign - without extending middle class tax cuts, without acting to prevent the fiscal cliff, and without passing a jobs agenda. This uncertainty undermines the middle class and our economy," the California Democrat said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the Congressional Leadership Fund, a GOP super PAC, announced that it is launching robocalls against targeted Democrats in 15 Congressional races using Vice President Joseph Biden's recent comments that the middle class has been buried for the past four years.
"Democrats deserve to be held responsible for the policies that are burying the middle class and will lead to lost jobs and higher family costs," CLF Communications Director Dan Conston said in an email. "In this last month, we'll make sure they are."

You know how you have those distant relatives that insist on sending holiday letters every year filling you in on all the mundane details of their children's lives? I secretly love those. I find that with photo cards, and probably Facebook, the holiday letters are few and far between each year. To honor the great art of holiday letter-ing, we've developed our own at Product Girl. From us to you, our thoughts on 2011.
Dear Product Girl readers,
First, you are awesome. While most of this letter will be about us, it's pretty important to note that without you, a lot of these things would not have happened.
The year kicked off on awesome note when we were named a finalist in the About.com Readers Choice Skincare Awards for best beauty blog. That calls for a retrospective "woot woot!"
If I could, this photo of me and MARK RUFFALO would have been my actual holiday card. Except my husband vetoed the idea. So consider it the official image of this letter. I seized the day at the Independent Spirit Awards in February to say hello to the Mr. Ruffalo (wonderful actor and from my hometown!), and am forever thankful to Aveeno for the opportunity.
Speaking of Aveeno, Product Girl spent the year taking part in the Aveeno Ambassador program. We are huge fans of the brand, and enjoyed getting to know the products and the people that make them a little bit more. At the Independent Spirit Awards, Aveeno and RecycleBank kicked off their Be An Active Natural Program, and solicited pledges from people to be more environmental conscious. Throughout the life of the program this year, they collected more than 260,000 pledges. Not too shabby, Aveeno.
Being the makeup lovers we are, we were happy to attend a few industry events. Carla and I had a blast in New York at The Makeup Show in May, and Carla hit up CosmoProf in Vegas during the summer.
In October, we were thrilled to see that SHAPE Magazine nominated Product Girl as one of the Top 20 Beauty Blogs for Active Chicks. What an honor! We were definitely in great company, and so happy to be included.
And not to bury our lead, but Product Girl has been going through some changes. Carla accepted a new job with her favorite retailer in an industry she is so knowledgeable about and is specializing in her area of expertise [large corporation that begins with a "N" based in Seattle + beauty + social media]. She's truly pursuing her dream, and we couldn't be happier for her. (That last line was so holiday letter, right?!) For you as a reader, this means that you get a lot more of me, and a side of the people closest to Carla. Her best friend Autumn , and her sisters Vania and Kayla are contributing to Product Girl! And of course we have our new style contributor Emily, who is also all kinds of awesome. We think it's going to be a great 2012!
From all of us at Product Girl, we wish you the happiest of holidays and a fabulous start to the New Year!

Might Philip Rivers be entering his last season with the San Diego Chargers?
Three years ago, it was unthinkable that the Chargers willfully would cut ties with Rivers. But consecutive mediocre seasons, combined with the reality of new faces at head coach (Mike McCoy) and general manager (Tom Telesco), puts Rivers in a precarious position as he enters his 10th NFL season.
U-T San Diego columnist Kevin Acee summed up the situation during a Wednesday appearance on NFL Network's "Path to the Draft."
"No one will say it, but I think that 2013 is the final audition of Philip Rivers," Acee said.
Acee bases his assumption on the Chargers'decision not to restructure Rivers' contract this offseason despite the team's tight salary-cap situation. Acee says the Chargers' choice to sit tight on Rivers "speaks volumes."
Rivers has committed 47 turnovers over the past two seasons, the most of any player not named Mark Sanchez. The prior regime did Rivers no favors, depleting the cast of playmakers around him while allowing the offensive line to turn to mush. Rivers was sacked 49 times last season. You'd probably be chucking and ducking, too.
If Rivers truly is in "prove it" mode, the Chargers owe it to the quarterback to give him a better support system in 2013. That starts with finding a new left tackle with the 11th overall pick. Providing a better receiver option than Robert Meachem also would help.
We're of the opinion that Rivers has good years left in him. He just can't do it alone, which puts him in the same company as every other quarterback in NFL history.

And now, I must go lick the spoon. I mean wash the dishes. I totally meant wash the dishes!
Oreo Peanut Butter Dip
- 1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup white chocolate morsels
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 12 Oreos, crushed

Have always wanted to write this somewhere but with all these HR folks who read my blog before interviewing, had this little fear but right now I'm in this "pongada / pongadi neengalum unga velayum" frame of mine . Thank you Akka Ammani avargale for this post thanks to which I'm writing mine.
The last Saturday of September 2014. We had to get some work done from Rajathi Raja Raja Marthanda Creative / 'All in All anantharaman team of the organisation. I was reporting to the Sales Head and unfortunately with the creative team being creative team we couldn't execute some last minute job. The Sales Head dadiyan* was fuming, called me and instead of stopping at questioning and discussing what next, he went a step further and started using abusive language. All I could hear was this -
"I don't care what the f.... you are f....ing doing... f...ing I want the f... logo f... on air... okay ..f...f...f...f" in a very threatening tone.
While I completely got his anger because the client was fuming and it would've resulted in revenue loss I didn't get his language at all.
While I completely got his anger because the client was fuming and it would've resulted in revenue loss I didn't get his language at all.
These F words in organisation have become like "Hello, hi how are you" . People especially the big bosses seem to completely ok with everyone using such words. I am not. And I was not going to take this lightly.
I wrote a formal complaint to the HR head cc-ing the CEO pointing out abusive language and the tone of Dadiyan. Reiterated that while the creative team could not execute the job on a weekend and that Dadiyan at every right to question me, he had no business using such language. Received an immediate reply from HR Head asking me to come and meet with him on Monday.
When I entered office on Monday, Dadiyan* came ilichifying and said "Can we talk?" I didn't want to talk to him. I had discussed and rehearsed my conversation well with my husband where we had decided I will not speak to Dadiyan until I spoke to the HR head.
HR head spoke to me at length in the presence of another female colleague from HR and asked if I was comfortable with a conversation with Dadiyan. I declined. Didn't want to speak to the Paowala Dadiyan who had no manners or sense because the only word he'd use for anything and everything was F...
HR was to get back to me on my formal complaint but there was no mail or communication from them on this for weeks. I brought it up again when they mentioned they had a word with Dadiyan, warned him and that this formal complaint against him in his employee file. I reiterated I was still looking for a formal mail from HR on their steps.
In the meantime, the brilliant HR being HR made some organisational shuffling in which they wanted me to shift to a different department after receiving feedback from... Dadiyan who obviously had issues with me. Another sales head who I was reporting to wanted to retain me in his department and did not want me to be shifted to another department since he felt I added value to what I was doing. So I was ok.
In all this kalebaram, Dadiyan resigned. I did not speak to him till November end which was his last working week. I hope I never see that rotten face again ever in my life. Ya and I'm still waiting for the official mail from HR.
How can I not thank the lovely people in my life who helped get through the 48 most stressful hours of my life? The spouse, who at long distance, rehearsed, coached and helped me deal with the entire situation, Sister and brother in law, wonderful friends - PR, Peter, Albert , Debbie and Meer :)

1. Mrs. Hogge (comment #3)
2. channonsworld (comment #7)
3. Sandra (comment #2)
There were 21 commenters, and if any of you who did not win are interested in ordering this book, just let my hubby know by e-mailing him at sloans2ukraine (at) gmail (dot) com. The cost is $5 plus $2 shipping. Several have written to order, deciding to just buy instead of trying to win. And that is a-okay too. We have really enjoyed having this book available as we travel, as it has helped many friends {old and new} with their questions about what is happening in the Middle East today and how it relates to the Bible.
Congratulations, winners, and a big thank you to everyone who participated! Hubby and I both really enjoyed your heartfelt comments!

Pilgrimage to see DWill and AK
August 5, 2008
There's me in the red circle :-p
End of game — DWill and AK hugging
End of game–AK and Booz hugging (far right)
So this had to be one of the best weekends ever. Even though DWill looked pissy the entire game, and I was surrounded by people that kept telling me DWill is balding, it still rocked and he was awesome and I loved seeing AK at the four. I was surprised by how solid AK is since he looks so gangly on TV. FB is definitely the scrub of the team (the game vs. Australia just ended and I do believe that he didn't even get into the game) and has been relegated to a Jack Haley/Mark Madsen-esque role. Not to mention he looked completely inept (like a kitten swiping at a dangling piece of string) when he was trying to guard AK.
The crowd was sickeningly adoring Kobe, making me nauseous. Me ("Selfish!") and C ("Kobe you suck!")'s chanting was completely drowned out by the blind bandwagon adoration.
Found this somewhat interesting–the only state where a majority thinks that DWill should play the least is West Virginia–where he was born.

410 Ammo Shells
Please choose your particular gauge of shotgun ammunition above. Note that shotgun gauges use a very old measurement system for describing the different gauges of shot. Specifically, the number of lead balls of a given diameter necessary to make one pound of that size ball are how gauges are measured. As an example, 20 balls of 20 gauge diameter are needed to make one pound of such balls, giving the actual bore diameter of .615 inch=20 gauge. The same is true for 12 gauge shot, which equates to a bore diameter of .729 inch. Note that this is not true for 410 shot, which is not a gauge at all and is instead actually named for its nominal bore size.

Torah inspires works by Brooklyn artist in Arizona
Mordecai Colodner, a Brooklynite who retired to Arizona, finds faith just as important a tool as any brush, canvas or easel when it comes to creating art.
His paintings vary, from abstract pieces to serene Southwest scenes, but his primary inspiration derives from the teachings of the Torah.
Every room in his home just north of Oro Valley contains framed acrylic works, each relating to a different story from the Hebrew Bible.
One titled "Nishmat — Spirit of All Living" features primitive stick-figure deer, turtles and other animals, not unlike early cave drawings.
Colodner, 77, said the work is based on a prayer that says, "The spirits of all living will praise your name."
Another work, called "Jacob and Esau — Yin Yang," portrays the biblical brothers as babies in the womb, struggling with each other with a ladder between them.
"The ladder is the ladder of Jacob's dream, which symbolizes God," Colodner explains.
Colodner calls his works "Visual Midrash," his own artistic interpretations taken from phrases or scenes from Judaic scripture.
His unique paintings, mostly done in acrylics, have popped up in private collections nationally as well as in local institutions, such as the Tucson Jewish Community.
Colodner says that his Midrash paintings are not simply biblical illustrations.
"I am creating something that's new, something that's different," he said.
Colodner has always had a strong sense of faith.
He was raised in a Modern Orthodox Jewish home in Brooklyn in the 1930s and '40s.
It was his aunt, a housewife and part-time painter named Gertrude Bronfman, who encouraged him to dabble in art at a young age.
"She used to tell me all the time that my stuff was great," Colodner said. "It probably wasn't."
Colodner didn't truly become interested in art and design until late high school, during a visit to a local movie theater.
The Charlie Chaplin revival film he went to see was preceded by a short about industrial designer Raymond Loewy. Colodner was intrigued.
"I liked that what he did combined art with commerce," he explained.
Colodner began researching industrial design, eventually turning his attention toward graphic design and advertising, which was booming in the 1950s with giants such as Paul Rand and Milton Glaser making their mark.
Colodner's fascination led to his enrollment at Brooklyn College and then the prestigious Parsons School of Design.
He eventually became a career designer, creating promotional materials and brochures for firms and advertising agencies in and around New York City for decades.
He retired from his own company, Mordesign Advertising & Promotion Inc., in 2005.
When his daughter, Debra Colodner, took a job in Oracle to work at Biosphere 2 around the same time, an opportunity presented itself.
"A lot of our friends and family were moving to Florida," he said. "I had been to Florida. I didn't like it at all. We chose Arizona."
The Southwest inspired Colodner and still does. He has created several pieces paying homage to the Santa Catalina Mountains, including a large acrylic work with Pusch Ridge as its focal point, splayed out in bright blues, purples and yellows, that is mounted in his bedroom.
One of the greatest advantages to moving west was the abundance of space for Colodner to work on fine art, particularly his Midrash pieces.
The shed in his carport that once held the tools and building supplies of the previous owner is now filled with paints, brushes and other creative supplies.
An adjacent storage space holds stacks of finished works, many of them Midrash works, that Colodner has created since moving to the area seven years ago.
"Our apartment in New York was too small for any of that," he said.
Many of Colodner's visions have been featured in Tucson-area galleries, including the Toscana Studio and Gallery, 9040 N. Oracle Road.
Gallery owner Linda Ahearn is a longtime fan of Colodner's art, whether it's the Midrash pieces or his modern acrylic abstracts.
"I find his work to be some of the most unique examples of creativity," Ahearn said. "He is always trying to find new ways to do things. It is that kind of art that really stands out — the stuff that you've never seen before."
Colodner said the art market has been slow as of late, which has been discouraging, but he has faith things will pick up.
He'll continue to paint in the meantime.
"I want to create something that will give people a good feeling," he said. "An understanding of something that is in my mind."

For hosts of late-night TV, there is one positive aspect to the current government shutdown: the jokes. Over past couple of nights, hosts turned the situation that has left 800,000 U.S. government employees out of work into punchlines.
On Sept. 30, The "Colbert Report" host drew comparisons between "Breaking Bad" and the government shutdown. According to Colbert, the government "started out as a highly sympathetic character in the 1770s, but in just 237 seasons, it has transformed into an egotistical, self-destructive maniac."
The next night Colbert focused on the shutdown's effect on American programs.
"No EPA?," Colbert asked. "Time to go dump some old house paint down the stormdrain. Sorry, dolphins. You had a good run."
The "Daily Show" host featured a segment called "Jon Stewart's Rockin' Shutdown Eve" on Sept. 30 where he accused Republicans of attacking the Affordable Care Act with "random patriotic buzzwordies" to make it seem unconstitutional.
Stewart showed clips of GOP members blasting the president for willing to negotiate with Iranians, but not with Republicans.
"If it turns out that President Barack Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent, hardline, unreasonable, totalitarian mullahs in the world, but not with Republicans, maybe he's not the problem," Stewart said.
On Tuesday's show, Stewart blasted Fox News political pundit Sean Hannity for his comments about how the government shutdown does not affect him.
"How bad can it be if it doesn't affect Sean Hannity?" Stewart said.
On the night of Oct. 1, after the shutdown had officially gone into effect, Jimmy Kimmel acknowledged the 800,000 employees that were furloughed by saying, "The good news is, Congress is still getting paid."
"I want the name of the idiots who elected this people," he said. "Oh wait. It was us?"
Fallon opened his show on Oct. 1 with a monologue talking about reports that congressmembers who debated the federal health care law were spending the night drinking.
"You see, Congress is like Most Americans, they need to get drunk before they screw people," he joked.
For David Letterman, the shutdown provided the opportunity to poke fun at the recent NSA scandal during his Oct. 1 show.
Since the NSA is one of the agencies most effected by furloughs, Letterman said that the government is "please asking citizens to spy on each other."

Camping under the stars at Havasupai was simply amazing! I can't say enough great things about the whole adventure. Couldn't wait to wake up each morning for a new day of activities, and the entire environment felt surreal! I absolutely never wanted to go home. Our guide, Joy, was the best; she really made this trip for us. She is very talented with a lot of spirit and energy, and the food she made was exceptional. I"™ll never forget the waterfalls or this trip – it's a memory that will stay with me always.

|Much of the nuclear weapons industry is top-secret, but there are parts of the atomic establishment that a tourist can see. In this hour of Science Friday, Ira talks with Sharon Weinberger, one half of a husband and wife reporting team that took a trip on a 'nuclear family vacation,' visiting public -- and not-so-public -- sites associated with atomic weaponry. We'll talk about the history and future of nuclear weaponry, and discuss which sites of atomic history can be visited by the average tourist.

Someone just earned a whole lot of brownie points in this relationship.
In case you didn't catch it on Sunday, here's Buffalo Bills receiver David Nelson scoring a fairly run-of-the-mill touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys. The real action happens after the score, however.
Nelson takes a long victory lap around the field to find his girlfriend, Kelsi Reich. Reich is a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader. Nelson gave her a big hug and the football — much to her amusement and (slight) chagrin.
Our favorite part of the clip is the fact that CBS thought it was a good idea to identify Reich as "David Nelson's girlfriend." Just in case someone thought Nelson was developing an intricate plan to woo all the prettiest cheerleaders in the league.

Goodbyes Are Hard
I guess Lucy had a right to be upset; Fred and Ginger went to their forever home this weekend. Lucy's been agitated since they left. Even Ethel was miffed. I understand. We miss them too, even if they were only here for a short while. They're just so darn affectionate and adorable. But they've got great new digs down in Watsonville with Pam at Peaceful Valley Farm.
They will surely be happy there. Pam's got a great plot of land with all sorts of interesting residents, like this bantam frizzle,
these Polish ladies who, contrary to assumptions, are great layers,
this gorgeous roo, whom I wished I could have taken home but for that darn crowing issue,
and these cute-as-can-be turkey poults.
Chickens running around the yard is pretty pedestrian stuff to Pam. She grew up in the San Jose area where her mom always had a flock in the backyard. Her mother, who now lives in Los Gatos, often drops by to help her with the ladies. Pam's got all kinds of interesting breeding things happening. Right now she's working on crossing Ameraucanas with a brown layer (I think she said a Cuckoo Maran) to produce hens that will lay olive colored eggs. So cool.
I was super impressed by the number of onions Pam had planted: 365, one for every day of the year since that's how much her family eats on average. She's really got those suckers packed in here.
And check out this celery plant.
Good god, it's like a bush! The poor puppy could get lost in there. Maybe one day I'll get a celery plant to grow that ginormous. Though I suspect Pam may have some sort of plant crack in the soil. You should have seen the Dino Kale tree. Wish I would have gotten a pic of that. It was so impressive that I begged Pam to send me some of the seed when she collects it.
We wandered around the farm for a good long time, procrastinating on our goodbyes. It's so hard to let go. Fred and Ginger are super special to us. They are our first babies.But Pam promises that she will keep us all posted on their to-doings on her blog. Thank you, Pam, for taking Fred and Ginger into your fold.

I think I can smell that baby puke odour from here. LOLReplyDelete

Wow, Heidi. Nice blog, and I loved the photos. I want a piece of that celery plant, too!ReplyDelete
Funny, all moms know exactly what you mean when you say "baby puke odor". My youngest is 7 and somehow I can still conjure the image/smell!ReplyDelete
I know! smells just like rotten milk.ReplyDelete

Pam is my sister & I was at the farm yesterday gleefully playing with Fred & Ginger (mostly the ever aggressive Fred). They're in great hands & I can't thank you enough for giving my sis some well deserved press & credit. Keep up the good work, there ARE millions behind you!ReplyDelete
-Jim Carrico
Baby-puke smell, ah. Takes me back. My son is 28 years old and I still recall the gaggy smell. As for the "f"-bomb, just remember that we are each entitled to one per year. I expect to live to be several hundred years old :)ReplyDelete
The pictures of your daughter make my ovaries hurt.ReplyDelete
That's a compliment, btw.
Poor Lucy. She must miss those kids as much as you do.ReplyDelete
Just a quick update...Fred and Ginger are totally settling in! They spent the first 2 days calling out for attention. I gave them lots of love and hugs, and they have now calmed right down and seem at home. My mom was here and offered them every kind of weed we have, to see if there were any they like. Burr Clover, YES, Monster Kale and Celery, YES. They seem to be getting more into the greens every day. :-) John keeps saying, "I love those goats", and everyone who meets Fred says how very handsome he is! And my brother loved butting heads with him. Literally! Fred took a good nap after Jimmy was here! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for such an awesome gift! Can't wait to have you and Ute down again!ReplyDelete
yay!!!! I'm so glad to hear that fred and ginger are happy. fred LOVES to butt heads. if you point your fist at him, he will play butt that too! isn't he so devilishly handsome? ginger is the sweetest. she's not as animated as fred, but she's definitely a real love bug.ReplyDelete
will you be hatching any chicks soon? we are in the market for a few.
YES, they are due to start hatching the 17th...ReplyDelete

The Real Need
(Part One)
A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own mind. Proverbs 18:2
As I settled into my seat on the small regional jet, I noticed that the man next to me was embroiled in an intense cell-phone conversation. Although he was doing his best to control his anger and keep his voice down, his conversation was unavoidable for me—and all the passengers within two rows of him. He was talking to his former wife. Listening to him was like watching a sword fight where you can only see one of the competitors.
With his blade, he verbally sliced and pierced the woman on the other end of the phone. The conversation ended with a verbal decapitation when he declared, "And you are no longer my wife!" He demanded to talk with his daughter, and when she came on the phone, the sword fighter was instantly transformed into a puppy. He began by compassionately asking her questions, but at the end of the conversation he made
one last thrust of the sword, saying her mom was a "wimp." After he hung up the phone, this noble warrior informed me, "Any man can be a father," he said, "but being a parent takes a real commitment. Hard
work." I wondered if he was using the same dictionary that I did.
He mentioned that he was living with a woman who was expecting his child. I asked if the baby's birth might lead them to get married, and his response was, "Why spoil a good thing with a piece of paper?" As I sat there, God reminded me of something: What is this man's real need? As a sinner myself, saved by grace, I recognized that this man's real need was to know God's love and forgiveness. The warrior had certainly made a mess of his life, but there was One who would forgive him and could help him clean it up.
Who in your life needs to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior?
Ask God to help you remember that you, too, are a sinner saved by grace and to help you freely share the hope of the gospel.

Plum Print is a unique company that will take your child's artwork and transform it into a sentimental and stylish art book to proudly display on your coffee table. With the holidays fast approaching, Plum Print art books are a fantastic and one-of-a-kind gift idea for grandparents, parents and kids. Plus, let's face it, you need all the household room you can get -- and piles of your child's art everywhere, while sentimental, are also a bit messy. Why not keep your child's artwork where it can be enjoyed? Keep reading to learn more about Plum Print's cool services.
Four easy steps
Just four simple steps is all it takes to go from a messy pile of unorganized kid art to a fabulous book.
- Once you place your order, Plum Print will send you a confirmation e-mail and Art Submission Form. You gather up your child's artwork, toss it in a box with the Art Submission Form, and send it to Plum Print.
- Plum Print then takes your child's art and transforms it into a vibrant book.
- You'll receive a digital proof of your book so you can make sure you like what you're getting and give your final approval.
- Plum Print professionally prints and binds your child's art into a beautiful coffee table book.
What sort of art can be included?
You can send Plum Print various types of artwork, such as all 2-D pieces of art and all small 3-D pieces (meaning smaller than 5? x 3? x 3?.) You should send in all your favorite pieces that your child has created, and avoid folding them, because creases result in hard to reproduce digital images. To send large pieces of art, Plum Print suggests rolling artwork in a tube. At the end of the process, you'll get all your original art back. Plum Print has a great tips section that can help you choose which art pieces to send.
What else can be in the book?
One cute high-resolution photograph of your child and a little bio about them can be included in your book. For an extra fee, Plum Print will add short captions next to art images. This is an especially cute idea if your child likes to point out, "This is my dog, riding a rainbow," or other funny stuff.
What sort of quality to expect
Finished Plum Print books are very professional, printed on the leading HP indigo digital offset printer. All softcover books are printed on 80 lb glossy paper with a perfect binding, featuring your little one's art on a glossy cover. Hardcover books are printed on premium 100 lb glossy paper with a library binding, and feature the artwork on a matte cover that wraps around the cover of the book. Better yet, Plum Print may be able to improve upon your child's art, because they try to eliminate errant blemishes, scratches or tears that have been caused with time or travel.
What will this cost?
For the services provided, Plum Print is very reasonable. You first need to consider how much is your child's art worth just sitting in a pile. Wouldn't it be way more fun and easier to keep forever, in a wonderful book? A 20 page softcover book will run you just $85.00 while a larger hardcover book that holds around 120 pages will cost about $200.00. Depending on how much art you have and the type of book you'd like, the prices vary, but it'll be worth it to have your child's art safely and beautifully kept for years to come. See all Plum Print pricing. Plum Print also offers gift certificates, which would make an amazing gift for a parent.
Stop feeling guilty
All of us parents have been there. You just can't store one more piece of art, so you "recycle" it but feel a little guilty about it afterwards. Or maybe you've been meaning to frame some of your child's art, but there's no time, so you just keep it in a cardboard box where no one can enjoy it. Why not turn that art into a book now? You and your child will have lots of fun flipping through your own coffee table art book. Plus, when your kids are grown, a Plum Print book will be a great piece of memories they'll have to enjoy and share with their own children. Visit the Plum Print website to learn more or see a great gallery of wonderful books.

It's good to see Aria out and about again. I think that she's got quite a bit of work yet ahead. The world may not have enough one-liners for all of the fancharacters...
I enjoy this so much. Never stop your righteous justice spree.
