The Piano Lesson is a play by August Wilson that portrays characters of contrasting views. Some of the characters believe in the acquirement of self-worth from their past. For others, the past is only significant if it can be converted to money. I think that holding on to such procession does not benefit one. On the other hand, these possessions represent memories and traditions of the family members who owned them. Therefore, this is a controversial issue which comes down to one question, "Is one's self-worth acquired from their past?"
Berniece differed with her brother, Boy Willie, on what to do with their piano. Boy Willie had a valid argument when he suggested the sale of the piano. His father, Charles, had been a slave to the white man for a long time. He should have thought of selling the piano and liberating his family from slavery and poverty. Boy Willie suggested that they should not repeat the mistake committed by their dad. Unlike his sister, Boy Willie did not seem to draw memories of his past through the piano. He thought that all their family culture could be narrowed down to monetary value. He was business-minded and worked to attain financial freedom. We see Willie selling lemons with his 29 year-old friend, Lymon. However, there were people standing on his way. This creates a disturbing thought in the mind. Should people stand between youths and their ambitions in the name of culture preservation? Should one be poor knowing clearly that they have a possession of worth just because it belonged to his ancestors? Furthermore, if the ancestors were to be asked, would they choose preservation of their memories over their grandchildren's happiness and success?
Berniece always emphasized on keeping the piano. Being five years older than Boy Willie, she could be seen to be the voice of reason. However, she claimed that the piano brought unpleasant memories to her. She remembered how her mother used to ask her to play it. Mama Ola could not get over the death of her husband and whenever the piano played, she could hear Charles speaking. Therefore, Ola preferred not to play the piano. Why was she insisting on keeping the piano if the only thing it brought to her was unlucky memories? Should a piano like that console her during hard times instead of creating them? Preservation of one's memories might be beneficial in some cases. However, I would appreciate some advice on the matter. Some memories deny people's peace of mind and prevent them from moving on with their lives. Should such memories be held on to through physical manifestation when they can easily be disposed and still bring in some cash?
Doaker Charles was always telling stories about the piano and revealing his history. However, he did not make firm decisions or take stand on the piano issue. He only understood that Bernice did not want it disposed. As their uncle, he should have guided them and end the controversy. This hits the mind, because there are many elderly people who do not seem to offer advice (Wilson 15). Whatever stand he had, Doaker should have made it clear to help his niece and nephew. Whenever such issues occur, it is the general thought that elderly members of the family should offer advice.
The matter of holding on to inherited property is as tricky as shown in the play. Therefore, it is the duty of the family members to make sure that the controversy ends. This will depend on the memories held by the possession as well as its worth. This will go a long way to reduce the quarrels in many families over the matter.

Mission Statement
Community Homes for Adults, Inc. (CHAI) is a non-sectarian, non-profit corporation under Jewish auspices that provides programs and services to enable adults with intellectual disabilities to live full, rich lives in a safe environment and to meaningfully participate in the community.
Our founder, Dr. Carmen Miller Michael, and a group of caring and passionate leaders in our community, including Milton Levy, Buddy Rosenthal, and Herbert Shore, envisioned a caring and one-of-a-kind environment servicing those in our community with intellectual disabilities. Their dedication set the stage for CHAI to become the successful community provider it is today.
After several years of surveys, cost analyses, and feasibility studies, the concept for Community Homes for Adults, was approved by the Social Planning Committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas and quickly endorsed by its Board of Directors.
Since its inception in 1983, CHAI continues to fulfill its mission of supporting those in need by providing a place to live, life skills education, day habilitation, job training and support, opportunities for social inclusion, multiple healthcare options, and a team of tireless advocates that makes certain every resident and client is treated with respect and compassion.
We have been fortunate over the years to expand our services and purchased homes, create the Wolens Program Services and our Day Habilitation program due to the generosity of donors who understand the importance of CHAI as a force for good in the community. They recognize the principles upon which CHAI was founded and how society improves when those principles are put into practice. There is still room for improvement in our community, and we at CHAI believe our work has only just begun. We look forward to many more years of making a difference and touching lives in profoundly positive ways.
Our Founder
Dr. Carmen Miller Michael
A graduate of SMU and Professor Emeritus at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dr. Carmen Miller Michael was a longtime community mental health advocate in the Dallas area. Her work in the field of clinical psychology provided services that did not previously exist for those with intellectual disabilities.
CHAI opened its doors in 1983 in accordance with Dr. Michael's vision and with the dedication of passionate community leaders like Milton Levy, Buddy Rosenthal, and Herbert Shore. Dr. Michael also founded the Dallas Epilepsy Association and the Dallas Mental Health Society. The Dallas Historical Society once honored her for excellence in community service, and since 1998 an award in her name has been given to a select number of students for their scholarship, citizenship, and clinical skills.
Although Dr. Michael passed away in 2013, her legacy of fostering change within the community and providing expert care lives on in every venture CHAI undertakes and every life it touches.

Recruiters often speak of the awesome training that Marines will receive during their enlistment. From cooks to admin clerks to LAV mechanics, Marines are said to be the best trained troops America has to offer. But wait a sec, doesn't the Corps have an extremely tight budget? Yes, and that tiny budget casts a ridiculously large shadow across advancement opportunities across the board. But, but, but aren't Marines really good at making the best of a bad situation and adapting and overcoming and all that? Well…yes and no. Yes, Marines are pretty good at working with a shoestring budget, but the Corps is not. Much like a college student, Marines can sustain themselves on booze and ramen. The Corps however, is one hell of an expensive date, and she don't put out, you do. But before I start bashing the Marine Corps for its horribly deficient training programs, I must first explain a little about the futility to certain types of training.
There are many ways to try to "harden" a man. The tried and true methodology for Marines has for many years been "stress these motherfuckers out so much that they literally lose all fucks about their health." It has had…limited success. At MCRD recruits are screamed at, insulted, hazed, and tortured until they lose their individuality and therefore care much less about their own lives. Many boots are willing to jump on a grenade just to avoid disappointing their Drill Instructors. Notice I didn't say, "to save lives." The fear of disappointing one's superiors is equal to or greater than death itself; if you die, you die a hero, if you disappoint, you are a shitbag for life. There are much more effective ways of producing warriors, but warriors are not what the Corps wants. They want robots. Killing machines. Your Drill Instructors may even refer to you as such.
Truthfully, there is no proven way to turn a young man into a warrior. Warriors are born, they are not created. You can't infuse backbone into a man if he was raised without one. Boot camp will not help you grow a pair of big, shiny, golden testicles if you don't have the starter kit, kiddo. No amount of training will ever be 100% effective.
The effectiveness of Marine Corps training programs often comes into question, mainly by those participating in said programs. Effectiveness and readiness are affected negatively from the lack of proper materials regularly. Budget cutbacks do not help this. Marines are often forced to train with substitute training materials such as: Imaginary rifles, imaginary targets, imaginary ammunition, imaginary lives. Required annual training and qualifications such as rifle and pistol normally get pushed back until the last minute because…well usually its because someone is being a lazy buddy fucker and blocking junior enlisted from being promoted. Gas mask qual? Ha, good fucking luck with that if you're a POG. Well, at least they always make sure to pick instructors that are really good right?
In a word: FUCKNO. Example: I was a range coach on 29 Palms for two weeks. Wanna know what my qualifications were? I had a rifle expert badge. There was no training, it was "Corporal, you have an expert badge? Good, you're the range coach for Gunny Schmuckatelli and whoever the fuck else needs to qual this time. Good to go?" That's like saying, "Hey Devil, you can pass a PFT, right? Good, administer this SNCO's required-for-his-career qualification test and if he fails it will totally somehow be your fault. Good to go?"
Instructors, like every other Marine Corps leader, vary in quality and effectiveness. There are many excellent instructors throughout the Marine Corps, most of them belonging to MOS schools. Instructors at the school battalions, from what I have experienced and been told, are generally very motivated (not motarded) and effective. That being said, there are some real bastards out there as well. Burn happy Staff await unwitting Privates and Pfc's around every corner, ecstatic over the prospect of raping another Marine's career from the get-go. The Marine Corps policy of "push them through, they'll fix them in the Fleet" applies here as thickly as it blankets boot camp, unfortunately, resulting in many Marines either not fully grasping the concept of what their job entails and some that couldn't perform properly at all. It isn't all bad, but there are many drawbacks to being under-funded that need to be explored and repaired in order to fix these glaring deficiencies.
–What you should know about the gas chamber specifically–
You might get to hit the gas chamber on time every year in a POG unit, but you must realize that there will be a remedial class that lasts all fucking morning and the freaky NBC guys giving the class will murder you with VX if you ask questions because a) they do this every fucking week (or more often), and b) QUESTIONS MAKE CLASSES LAST LONGER YOU STUPID INCONSIDERATE BUDDY FUCKER!!! They will answer even the saltiest of Pfc's questions with a pissed off stare and a repeated statement from the power point through teeth so gritted in anger they may shatter. You may or may not have to break the seal on that bad boy when you physically hit the chamber and the hazy shit starts happening. When I was on Okinawa we weren't required to break the seal, but if you didn't you were a pussy. Remember that when you fill out your Final Physical paperwork because they graciously provided a space for you to check because if you broke that seal, congratulations dumbass, you just exposed yourself to CS. The NBC guys know this, and they will laugh at you as you cough every drop of slime from your nasty little grape. Also, remember to wash your hands before you touch your no-no. I swear to fuck, there is ALWAYS one guy that goes off to take a piss and starts screaming about how it feels like his dick is on fire, and not from the HSV this time.–
What you can expect from Marine Corps training in general:
The training the Marine Corps provides can be very useful in your MOS and sometimes in the civilian world, but do not count on any state-of-the-art technological wonders. The most common tool used by Marine Corps instructors of almost any billet is Power Point. Your texts at MOS school will likely be photocopies of the power point presentation along with the same file in outline form and a shit load of pages that will be "intentionally left blank" because the government fucking LOVES to waste paper, all bound in a three-ring binder. What did you expect, a fucking textbook? Hahahahaha, you haven't learned anything yet, have you? Technically, your training materials will tell you everything you need to know about your MOS. Technically. Most likely, it will be horribly outdated and include references to technology that doesn't even exist anymore. Everything will be broken down in such detail that you may go mad trying to figure out if they are fucking kidding you. As detailed as your training will be, it will be insufficient, and you will data-dump everything the SECOND you report in to your first permanent duty station.
What you should know about using your training if you were dumb enough to enlist:
Some of it will matter, some of it won't. No one will care that you are a rifle expert unless your new job is SWAT sniper. Ah, I see you've received training in stabbing people with a bayonet, sorry but that particular job skill isn't quite what we're looking for. If you go in as an Admin Clerk, leave out the part about your HMMV license unless the job requires you to drive an HMMV. If you don't like the job you get when you enlist, you can always to go college when you get out and change fields. If you do enjoy your job you can always get out and go to school for something that is close to what you did. For instance, if you were in Motor T and you loved turning a wrench, you can go get your degree in Auto Tech, Diesel, Manufacturing, or something similar. Bonus: Technical and vocational career instructors like veterans because we understand the material, take the shit seriously, have useful experience that THEY can learn from, and we're not eighteen year old douchebags (we're much more mature douchebags.) Put that degree in a fat black pot, toss in some experience, throw in a dash of DD214 and you finally may have yourself a future, young one.
Or, you could always do the reasonable thing and GO TO FUCKING COLLEGE LIKE A SMART PERSON!

Police car, dirt bike collide in Baltimore
City police said a 16-year-old boy has been charged after the dirt bike he was driving and a police cruiser collided.
The crash happened in the 3200 block of Avon Avenue around 7:45 p.m. Sunday.
A uniformed officer was driving a marked patrol vehicle, along with additional units, to City College on a report of dirt bike riders in the area, police said.
When police arrived, the dirt bikes began to flee. The dirt bike driver who had been involved in the crash allegedly changed directions several times during which one of which his bike slid. The driver continued down an alley and attempted to make a turn in the 3200 block of Avon Avenue. When he stopped, he attempted to get off of the bike, but that is when the officer was unable to stop his patrol car and struck the dirt bike, police said.
Police said the patrol vehicle's lights and sirens were not on, and the bike did not have any lights or safety equipment.
The 16-year-old victim was taken to a hospital with an injury to his ankle. The victim was treated and released. He was then taken to the Juvenile Booking Facility.
The accident remains under investigation.

Floor-sweeping hemlines are the latest trend to be reborn. Goodbye itsy-bitsy minis (for now), hello full length maxi! Since the 90s, the maxi has been hidden away in the closet with your bell-bottoms, until now. Leaving the grunge inspired look of the 1990s, this resurrected look is more about a long, lean and flowy look.
The maxi for spring and summer was in the form of light, breezy, sheer skirts and dresses. With the introduction of the sheer maxi skirt, the look is perfect for steamy summer days and only requires the layering a black skirt or slip beneath, or just shorty-panties if you're daring! A street-sweeping skirt can be perfectly paired with another great summer trend, the cropped top.
The best part about the maxi is its simple styling. A lightweight elongated tank dress is easy to belt to break up the straight silhouette. Pair with a simple sandal or flat for day, and, as the sun sets, layer up with a crop jacket and a dressier wedge sandal or boot.
Moving into fall we can look at three designers for inspiration of how to perfect the look for months moving into winter.
FASHIONOTES thinks the Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear BCBG Max Azria collection displays the easiest way to transform your summer maxi dress to fall: layering. Wearing a light turtleneck or long sleeve shirt is a great way to keep your summer floor grazer alive for fall. Another tip for a simple transition, replace your sandals & flats for a tall boot.
Vena Cava takes on the maxi with more fall appropriate textiles and colors. Try out your favorite black skirt with a thicker knit crop, patterned long sleeve, or leather crop jacket. Since these are styles we've already adopted in the past, the transition should be stress-free. For a fall-friendly maxi dress try a style with long sleeves in a deeper color, like burnt orange.
The maxi trend's biggest difference for fall? The maxi suit pant. The maxi pant takes inspiration from the boyfriend fit, with a wider and more elongated leg. Chloé pairs the pant with a long jacket and knit sweater to set this style apart from the summer maxi look.
Get long & lean for fall and enjoy!

A couple of days before your scheduled session you will send me your new dreams. (See Recording Your Dreams.)
During the hour session we will step into your dreams together. You'll need a copy of your dreams and you may want a notepad. As we explore I will be asking a lot of questions to get underneath the surface of the dream. I'll ask you to feel into certain parts of the dream. This is the heart of dreamwork where many, oftentimes surprising, places open up for the dreamer. It can be joyful, loving, frightening, sad, challenging, laugh out loud funny…and always self revealing.
Dreamwork is the tender work of the heart and soul and I don't take lightly the privilege of being with you in this place…and even we aren't alone. What is very precious, the miracle of the dream, is that within the dream itself there is always found inner support and love.
At the end of the session you will get a dream practice, the medicine found in the dream, a moment(s) from your dreams to deepen and anchor your work, as explained below.
Post Session Practice: Your Dream Medicine
Doing your dream moment practice means that, during the interim between sessions, you keep returning to certain feeling moment(s) that you were able to feel during the session. This deepening of feeling is the medicine that we found in the dream. I recommend that several times throughout your day, find quiet opportunities to return this place. It may only take a few breaths to drop into the feeling, feel it and then return to your day. Some dreamers even make their dream moment something they meditate on, learning to breathe into and be with what is arising. A practice dream medicine may be something like, "Feel your fear as you stop running and turn to the man chasing you" or "Be the girl sledding down the hill, feeling your joy." With the continued returning to a feeling something inside shifts…new feelings and awarenesses may arise… and a part of you that you lost connection to or didn't even remember was yours returns to you, helping you re-connect with your true self.

The issue of student debt is one of the most pressing for the millennial generation. Millions of young people every year leave college with an ever increasing burden of debt, threatening their purchasing power and financial security. The data bears these facts out, as the tableau story below will demonstrate. The purpose of this story is to demonstrate that student debt continues to be an unaddressed issue and is affecting the viability and ultimate value of the current higher education model.
The story type I used was change over time. Using the college scorecard data set, I was able to pull a decade of tuition, debt and income data for Non-Profit and Public institutions. The story looks at change in tuition, total debt and debt-to-income from 2003 to 2013. I provided three story points in order to tell the story. Each story point should logically build on the previous one – setting the stage with the increase in tuition leads to the consequential increase in debt burden. Because tuition exceeds the increase in income over the period – student debt-to-income naturally increases as well.

Bajaj launched their flagship product, the Dominar 400, in India some time back. Bajaj markets it as a sports tourer and challenges the Royal Enfield bikes in the market that are widely preferred by the long-distance touring enthusiasts. However, over the time, the Bajaj Dominar 400 could not really get a grip in the segment and the sales are not anywhere near the Royal Enfield models. The Dominar is an extremely value-for-money bike and offers a longer feature list than any of the Royal Enfield bikes. To show off its long-distance riding ability, three Bajaj Dominar bikes will ride from the North Pole to the South Pole of the planet.
Three passionate motorcyclists – Deepak Kamath, Avinash PS and Deepak Gupta – will take on this daunting task. Kamath is an experienced rider and has been riding motorcycles for the last 30 years. He was also a part of the Trans-Siberian Odyssey. Avish PS is a mechanical engineer and is a passionate biker and a photographer. Deepak Gupta is an enthusiast who holds a good amount of riding experience against his name.
Bajaj has officially released a video of the journey that was flagged off a few days back. All the three Dominar bikes have been heavily modified for the gruelling journey. The group of three will cover 50,000 km in about 4 months and will cross 17 countries in North America and South America. On an average, the riders will travel 450 km daily, which is quite gruesome for the travellers.
The journey from the North Pole to the South Pole will see the bikes going through some of the most extreme climate conditions in the planet. Even though a group of riders completed the Trans-Siberian ride on the Dominar a few months back, this will be a different ballgame altogether. The terrain will include icy surfaces, tropical climates and no proper roads at a few places. The Dominars will also go through Canada and the USA, experiencing one of the best roads on the planet.
The ride has already started and in about four months from now, the group is expected to reach their destination in the South Pole. The riders will be travelling without any support crew, which makes the journey even more difficult.

Thursday, August 9th.
On Monday, I had asked Dominick if I could ride with him to the Castle for the jury site visit. He said sure. I think it's the only favor I've ever asked of him, besides signing two issues of Vanity Fair for my older sister. I didn't know how to get to Alhambra and didn't want to try to find parking on the correct street. If I hitched a ride, I'd avoid all that. Dominick said he wouldn't know where to have his driver pick me up, and I told him that he didn't need to pick me up at all. I would meet him at his hotel and find local parking nearby, in the structure where Virgin Records is located. I could easily walk to his hotel from there. Dominick says he plans on leaving at around 9:00 am, and I tell him I will be there a little bit before nine.
I get to the Chateau Marmont way early, and wait on the street for a little while before I decide to head up to the hotel, and let him know I'm there. Dominick beats me to it, walking down the driveway looking for me. We take off from the Chateau about 8:45 am. I get introduced to Dominick's driver once I get in the car, but for the life of me I can't remember his name for certain. I think it was Justin. We make great time, and arrive at the press staging area. We're early, but there are a handful of press already there.
Peter Hong of the LA Times is there along with other LA Times staff and Court TV staff. Looking up at a house perched on top of a slight hill, I see the owners out on their front porch with binoculars, watching the reporters down below. Camera operators are already setting up their tripods for when Linda Deutsch comes down to report. I count eight tripods already. Peter brought a table, several chairs, bagels and cream cheese for the reporters. Court TV went in with Peter and brought donuts and coffee. Harriet Ryan is already there and mentions something to the effect of, "Peter, concerned for your heart, brought healthy food, Court TV brought the sugar." I'm offered to grab what I want, but I politely decline. I haven't eaten any commercial wheat or dairy in years. That special diet I've repeatedly mentioned. Beth Karas is there in a stunning short sleeved black dress, matching necklace and heels. I tell her the dress looks fabulos on her. There are several other familiar faces as well. Beth and Dominick grab two of the chairs to sit together and chat, and several of the reporters snap their picture together. I jokingly say, "This is how all the reporters look," and she and Dominick have a little laugh at that. I took one of them with my camera phone, too, and then my phone immediately died afterwards. So much for calling dini from the site to phone in a report. I forgot to charge the battery before I left the house.
The main street up to the front entrance of the house is blocked off, and there is an area off to the side where all the reporters are gathered with the table and chairs. Several of the smart cameramen brought hats. The other blogger, Carolyn Kellogg of LAist was smart enough to bring sun screen and that gets passed around to some forgetful people. The car with the Judge arrives and passes by the pool of the reporters and heads on up to the Castle. More reporters start to arrive. Russ, Ciarian, and Michael Christensen are here, as well as John Spano and Matthew K. (who's last name I know I will butcher if I try to spell it). Everyone is off in groups chatting, trying to get some shade under the Olive trees lining one side of the street. Michael C. and John Spano are reading the paper. The camera guys are checking their angles to try to get the best shot, and several of them brought their own chairs. They know the drill and have been through this before. In hindsight, it would have been nice if I had thought to pack a folding chair, but I don't mind sitting on the edge of the curb under the shade. The Asian looking Court TV reporter is here. I don't know her name and am too shy to go up to her and ask. There are motorcycle cops and cops on foot. More press continue to show up.
I see Sandi Gibbons made it. I look over my shoulder and see her talking to Ciaran. One of the witnesses on the stand, Officer Shawn Heckers is here on his motorcycle. One of the reporters clearly remembers he was the one who testified about plucking the anal hairs for the rape exam kit. Steven arrives. He's prepared because he has on a type of flak vest with lots of pockets. Perfect for the reporter on the go. At 10:11 am, the jurors arrive and pass by the pool of reporters. From this point, the countdown begins as to how long they will be on the site. I try to take a quick count as to how much press is here. I count about 30+ people. Many reporters are on their phones. I see Dominick is already being interviewed by the local Channel 2. In my immediate line of sight, I see four news vans with their antenna towers completely up.
I see Beth Karas and someone else (I forget to write who) walking down from the road that leads to the rear gate. Steven and I decide to walk up to the rear gate ourselves. It's a climb for me, and I'm slightly out of breath trying to keep up with him and not stop to take a rest. When we reach the back gate, one of the court liaison officers is there, along with a pool reporter. Soon after we reach the top, Officer Heckers drives up on his motorcycle and Steven and the photographer both take photos of him. Cathy, the liaison officer gets off the phone with the liaison officer that's at the front door and tells us a bit of news. One of the jurors walked all the way down the front stairs and back up again. It's one of the guys, who is tall, slender and has gray hair. Unfortunately, the other person who observed it doesn't know their juror number.
While at the back gate, I peer in to see if I can see anything. From where we are, I see some people off to the side, but they look like they are near the front of the house. I think one of them is Alan Parachini, but I'm not positive. One gentleman looks rather portly, and the other person is a woman and might be another court liaison officer. They are too far away for me to be sure. At the back gate, Steven and I take each others picture, and with not much visible, we decide to head back down to the street. I pass on the "scoop" to Ciaran about the one juror who walked down the front steps but he is unimpressed with the news. Oh well, lol. What do I know.
Back down at the staging area, I see Dominick is on his second TV interview. Afterwards, Dominick tells me that a woman on the corner was letting the reporters use her restroom. He and his driver took advantage of the generous offer. He said the woman and her son were watching the ball game. Outside, a woman and her young child come by and sell cold drinks to the reporters for .75 cents a piece. I had planned ahead and had gotten something at the gas station at Sunset and Crescent Heights before I walked over the the Chateau.
I talk to Carolyn Kellogg about reading on LAist where two of their top editors/correspondents were hired by mainstream newspapers. One reporter comments, "Internet bloggers are the new trout farm." There are two helicopters overhead the entire time, and at one point I thought there might be three. I notice that Peter has a practical hat on that has sun protector flaps hanging down. As the temperature rises, people are trying to grasp every tiny spot of shade. The jurors have been in the castle for over an hour now, and people are speculating that they will be done anytime now. I spot two officers on bicycles and see that Miriam Hernandez from local Channel 7 is here. At 11:25 am, we get the news that the jurors are finished with the site visit.
The reporters crowd around the microphones, trying to get the best spot. Several reporters are sitting on the ground right in front of the group of microphones, and Harriet goes and gets a chair that she places right next to the one Dominick is sitting in. Steven comments, "I think they wanted to do this when the sun was directly overhead. Cue the sun!" Earlier, while we waited, Ciaran entertained a few of us with limerick poetry. And we wait for Linda Deutsch to arrive. I'm standing, and my back is starting to ache terribly. Finally, someone is coming down the hill. We get a message that the jurors will be done in abut five minutes. So, I guess the earlier report was incorrect.
Linda finally arrives and as she steps up to the group of microphones she gives us a big smile.
more to come....

Lets face it guys, our style sense can be a small bit lacking at occasions and if you have no girlfriend to assistance take care of you in that region then your fairly substantially out of luck. I will attempt to give some pointers on purchasing underpants and throw in the suggestions that my girlfriend has passed along to me. One particular swift style tip, do not sag or let your underwear show when wearing a shirt. While you may well consider its no huge deal most of the globe would say otherwise. Now you could argue that you never care how you appear, nicely if you never care then quit reading this post.
I am only going to assessment 3 types of underpants as I really feel they are the most prevalent in today's society. These 3 are boxers, boxer briefs and briefs. Right after speaking with a number of males it became apparent that a pattern of underpants wearing has created in our culture. For the most element we are began out with briefs, I never know why this is the case. Perhaps it has a thing to do with the truth that they resemble the shape of diapers at least a small bit. Right after we get to about the age of 10 we recognize that wearing whitey tighties all the time can be a small bit, shall we say, un-cool. Some from right here we progress to the boxers. Going from briefs to boxers is like pure freedom. With all the new space we are in a position to loosen up far more and get a chill vibe going on. Lots of males will continue to put on boxers on and off for the rest of their life, but normally at about the age of 18 a male will start to appear for an option to boxers that will make him appear and really feel sexier or far more manly. Of course going back to briefs would be moving in the incorrect path, which tends to make the organic decision boxer briefs. These are like the very best of each worlds, they give far more help than plain boxers and but they are far more comfy than briefs. Therefore when you see guys, particularly guys in suits, you can safely assume they are wearing some type of boxer short.
My purchasing guide is very simple. Put on what tends to make you pleased and preserve your underwear out of sight. If you want your underwear to be appealing then make positive it is of higher top quality and is extremely soft to the touch. It has been rumored that females choose underwear that has a flat elastic band at the leading alternatively of bunched up fabric such as these on inexpensive boxers unconfirmed rumor each worth following in my humble opinion. The gist of this message is very simple, if know a female and really feel she has a very good sense of style, ask her what she thinks you must put on. Just be cautious, they could consider you are coming onto them.

Bless Her
Bless me back to Ol' Mississippi
Calling on the phone is Helen Tippie
She's a nurse byootiful, suitable, and something exquisite
All her patients love her and can't wait for that next visit;
But we be sending best hopes for that man of hers—
What's going down is a sad bad curse;
With wishes and prayers that he gets all better
Cause he's a lovely man, like an Irish setter.
And now let's end this poem all quick and nifty
Gotta take this call from Helen Tippie—
"Whassup, madear?"
Sweet Bonnie Marie
Sweet Bonnie Marie
How do you fare?
It grieves me you're distressed—
Need you a kiss, a hug, and a prayer?
May the following new days
Spread Light and Joy over your way;
And into the yon cold nights
May Happiness and Warmth with you the longer stay
Sweet Bonnie Marie
Of the Shamrock and the Thistle—
If anything I can humbly add
Know well all's required is your beckoning whistle
Be Ever Grand And Light of Heart
And bring your Smile to the new day's start
Holidays 2014
Sparkling stars dusting the November heavens above;
A house full of family with bounteous amounts of Love.
Tops of moptops bent over for thanks and solemn prayer.
Dog respectful under table, he knows he'll get a share.
Pumpkin, whipped crème, with cranberry sauce;
Give me that turkey and I'll show you who's boss.
Croissant cooling butterously over on the trivet;
Uncle clamoring for seconds…drumstick? Hey, give it!
I think it must be Thanksgiving, a Thursday nonpareil
And then Christmas is coming. We get presents—f'real!

Probably based off of how efficient Cohens touches were already.
Now, quibble words like 'far more' leave a lot to how one wants to argue either side of it.
But Cohen in 2 seasons has a 4.4 ypc and a 8.7ypr. Do you think Montgomery is going to to better than either of those with more touches? Cohen only averages about 6 rushes per game and around 5 targets per game anyway. I could see those going up personally.

Tour Post #2
Writing this in the backyard of Scott's friend Josh, a saxophonist in New Orleans who is nice enough to put us up for the week. There is a warm breeze and it is a sticky but beautiful 80 degrees, although it is kicking up a bit and there are some storm warnings.
Some carryovers from S.F.: Grant trying on a handmade tie-dye coat at Jamming on Haight, and my favorite photo on the Boom Boom Room Wall, Big Mama Thornton with the Muddy Waters Blues Band.
SO…after San Francisco we had a show at Harlow's, in Sacramento. We played with Big Sticky Mess, a funkadelic trio from Davis. They were a lot of fun, a little bit of Bootsy Collins, Cameo, and 70's funk guitar and bass; it was impossible not to dance! We stayed at their house in Davis, a musician's house with 11 people, jam/recording space, and a friendly house dog. Many of them work at the Trader Joe's down the street from their house part time, which gives them time to work on music too. Davis seemed like a cool, mellow college town, although I didn't have a whole lot of time to explore.
We then headed to Nevada City to another favorite spot, the Crazy Horse. The Horse has a small apartment unit above the bar that we were able to stay in (any time we have the opportunity to stay somewhere with a kitchen is a great thing because we can save money by cooking. Of course, avoiding hotel room rentals is a huge cash saver too.) We had a day to rest, stretch the legs and play frisbee, and wander around a town a bit. I found a bookstore and bought a copy of Tolkien's the Silmarillion, which I'm hoping to get through in the van rides and plane ride home.
The Tuesday show at the Crazy Horse was pretty intimate, with plenty of supportive local folks. Some are here for Jazzfest too!
Thursday was time for Southern California, in Hollywood. We swooped in to load and soundcheck, and I had just enough time to go to the big Amoeba Music store there, where I picked up a used Zero 7 CD, the Garden, which I've checked out from the library and played beginning to end several times over the years, so I figured it was time I buy it. I also went to dinner with my dear friend Sarah; I wish there had been more time, but as always it felt good to catch up and hear her thoughts on things.
Although our show at the King King Theater there in Hollywood was kind of sparsely attended, the stage was really nice and the sound was awesome. We also made a few new fans and signed some albums, something I don't think I'll ever get used to!
Right after the show we loaded up and left for San Juan Capistrano; Sam's parents hosted us that night and the next day and treated us to lunch. As is the case with everyone who puts us up, they were extremely warm and hospitable, and very curious about the touring life, which I honestly have fun discussing (obviously).
Every once in a while I deal with some anxiety about making a music career work. Scheduling performance and teaching commitments efficiently can be really tricky, and I worry about shortchanging students by being away too often or for too long, and although it is tremendously exciting for me to have these chances to travel, I am always trying to be aware of my responsibilities back in Seattle, and it looks like these travel opportunities are going to come up more often in the future. For now, the best I can do is be honest and give as much notice and accommodation as possible, and hope for the best; I've seen more than a few examples of how people make music work professionally on this trip, so I know it can be done.
That's all for now, next post I will cover San Diego and the Southwest!

Brandon E. Weghorst, Sigma Alpha Epsilon national headquarters, 847-424-3038
Sigma Alpha Epsilon closes UI chapter
Sigma Alpha Epsilon closes UI chapter
Sigma Alpha Epsilon closes UI chapter
Following are an announcement issued this afternoon by the national headquarters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and a statement from the University of Iowa.
Headquarters closes chapter at University of Iowa
IOWA CITY, IA—Sigma Alpha Epsilon's national headquarters has suspended the charter of its Iowa Beta chapter at the University of Iowa, which means the chapter will close. In addition, all of its members have been expelled from the organization and have had their membership privileges removed. This decision by the national organization comes as a result of hazing and the chapter's failure to comply with our standards, guidelines and policies set forth by the membership agreement and Sigma Alpha Epsilon's governing laws.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon's board of directors will not tolerate hazing or behavior that violates risk-management policies or the general guidelines for chapter operations. The organization expects its chapters to adhere to stringent policies and practices that help our members become gentlemen and leaders, and to live up to our creed and principles.
The chapter-house property, which is managed and owned by a private house corporation, will also be closed. Members will be asked to make other housing arrangements.
Both national staff and local volunteers will work with university administrators and the house corporation during this transition to close the chapter. We view the relationship with the University of Iowa as a partnership, and we hope to return to the campus in the future.
UI issues statement regarding Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter
The university does not tolerate hazing or unsafe and illegal consumption of alcohol in any of its student organizations. As such, we fully support the swift action taken this weekend by Sigma Alpha Epsilon's national organization, and a further university investigation into individual violations of the Code of Student Life is in progress.
We are fortunate to have a strong and vibrant Greek community at the University of Iowa, which collectively plays an active role in community service and significant philanthropic efforts. This incident is an aberration and perversion of the values that hundreds of fraternity and sorority members work hard to uphold, and should not reflect on the larger community of outstanding Greek students that contribute so much to our campus environment.
While SAE members independently entered into a private housing arrangement through the SAE fraternity corporation and are personally responsible for relocating, the university's student life office has resources available to assist displaced students with finding other off-campus housing options in the area. There are no university-owned housing spaces currently available.

Laadan Natural Park
Laadan natural park is one of the spectacular recreation places in Dezful which with an area of 30 hectares, has been located in northern Dezful and near Zibashahr area, in front of Deznoosh (production) collection
The beautiful wide green-space of this park, facilities such as W.C. and prayer room, parking lot, and also being closed to the city have made this place a good tourism collection -by municipality- for having a good joyful time there. In some parts of park, trees in an interconnected horizon have created a beautiful sight; at the end of autumn and winter, defoliation of trees has created a common sense of touching fall and spring together. Dezful is one of special cities of Khuzestan province which by having numerous natural parks, can be a good destination for tourists

Ruud Lubbers said the CIA had asked the Netherlands in 1975 not to prosecute Abdul Qadeer Khan, who is now dubbed the father of Pakistan's atom bomb.
Mr Khan admitted last year that he had leaked nuclear secrets to North Korea, Libya and Iran.
He came under suspicion while working for a Dutch uranium firm, Urenco.
He has been under close guard at his home in Islamabad since his public confession.
According to Mr Lubbers, US intelligence wanted to find out more about Mr Khan's contacts while he was working as an engineer at the top secret Dutch uranium enrichment plant at Almelo.
"The Americans wished to follow and watch Khan to get more information," he told Dutch radio.
Mr Khan returned to Pakistan in 1976 to set up the country's nuclear weapons programme.
He was convicted in absentia of nuclear spying in the Netherlands in 1983, but the conviction was overturned on a technicality.

Don't know what to say
I wish my mom would have died along with my dad. I hate her, she's been a terrible mother to me all my life. I know I'm going to h*** for saying this. I'm a 40 yr old woman and feel like I'm 10 all over again. The alcoholic b****!

You are quite bad ur mother reared u she had problems but she did her best
You aren't terrible and no one should judge you,for saying what you said,about your mother.You're the only person,who knows what your mother is like and what she has done to you,to warrant your strong negative feelings,towards her.
Please don't feel bad,I'm sure she deserves,how you feel about her.
You're not terrible, you're being honest. You can't have a true relationship with your mother, until she stops her relationship with the bottle. The only help you can offer her, is if she gets help to get clean. Be firm in your choices. Alcoholism is the one drug that you can't just quit cold turkey without the risk of death.

Smallest field in years prepares for Sprint Cup race at Atlanta
This weekend's entry list for the Sprint Cup race Atlanta Motor Speedway has 39 entries, one shy of a full field. It's a fact rarely seen in stockcar racing's highest level of competition.
This season, NASCAR trimmed to 40 cars the fields for two of its three major national racing series, down from 43. For Sprint Cup, the change was introduced in a landmark charter system.
MORE: Atlanta schedule | 10 drivers to watch | 10 key facts
That system also affected the amount of prize money available.
The race will include all 36 charter teams and three without charters.
This week's Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 is scheduled for Sunday, the second race in the 2016 Sprint Cup season. TV coverage of the race begins at 1 p.m. ET on Fox.
MORE: Drivers react to reduced downforce, looser handling at Atlanta

This is the first time since the Kentucky Speedway race in 2014 that NASCAR has fewer entries than a full field. For that race the field was also one shy of the maximum, with 42 of the then-allowed 43 entries. Before that, according to former Sporting News reporter Bob Pockrass, the last short fields in the Cup series were in 2001.
In the new system, 36 teams were given charters and guaranteed to make the field for every Sprint Cup race this season. It's a level of protection not needed this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The open cars in the field are driven by Ryan Blaney, for Wood Brothers Racing; Cole Whitt, for Premium Motorsports; and Josh Wise, for The Motorsports Group. In contrast, there were 44 cars entered for the Daytona 500.

The charter system did more than just lock in those 36 cars to the field. It also established a team owner council and offered teams new revenue opportunities, among other things. That's not to say the charter system is responsible for having 39 entries this weekend.
This race is unique in another way — it is the first with low-downforce cars and is the first test on the tracks that make up the majority of the NASCAR schedule.
New rules include a 3.5-inch spoiler, a 0.25-inch front leading splitter edge and a 33-inch wide radiator pan. This will reduce the downforce, placing handling on the cars more into the hands of the drivers.
The charter scheme also lowered the amount of money available each race to so-called open teams. The 36 charter teams are from 19 racing operations. The plan "increased business certainty and the ability to work more closely with NASCAR to produce best-in-class racing," according to series chairman Brian France.
But open teams receive 35 percent of what charter teams get for each race, Pockrass reports. NASCAR executive Brian Dewar told to NBC Sport that open teams get a guaranteed amount, or "fixed purse," that is about 30 percent of the total charter teams receive.
Without a full 40-car field, money available to the absent open team will go into a fund that will be divided among the three open teams that finish highest in owner points.
In September 1993, a Cup race at Martinsville went off with 34 cars on the track. The most recent race with fewer than 40? September 1996 at North Wilkesboro, with a field of 37. That, by the way, was the last Cup race run at North Wilkesboro Speedway, a five-eighths-mile oval.
NASCAR heads west for three races in March — March 6 at Las Vegas, March 13 at Phoenix and March 20 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.

I'm not sure how to best organize my thoughts, so here are a few of the positive things I got out of studying ICT4D:
- One of the perks of being in this class was that it was a nice little reminder of why I became interested in the field of international development. It's unspeakably refreshing to be surrounded by people who share the same good intentions I like to think I have.
- I tried things I never thought I would and developed skills I never realized were useful. Writing in this blog and using the class twitter were two activities that I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would. It gave me a very different perspective on social media, since I was using it in an academic context instead of a personal one.
- I felt inspired by some of the projects we discussed and I researched. There are no defined upper limits to technological solutions, nor have we 'run out of' ways to use existing technologies. Technology that was nearly inconceivable as little as thirty years ago is now mainstream. I can't begin to imagine what technological advances we're going to make thirty years from now. To me, it seems like ICT4D, and the entire field of international development to some extent, is a breeding ground for innovation.
- This was probably one of the few classes that made me take a closer look at other international development practitioners. Reading the blogs of people in the field (for the ICT4$ discussion) was eye-opening because I didn't realize there was such a strongly established community out there. And it's all easily accessible to us too, since it's mostly internet based (it's ICT4D after all…). The class blog and twitter assignment showed me how easy it is to reach out to these people and start a dialogue with them, which is something I hope to do in the near future.

After I resume from sleep, RubyMine must be restarted in order to be functional. Things like opening files, search dialog, panes, etc are all non-responsive.
This may be related to java not rubymine, but that is the manifestation on my system. Using RubyMine 3.1 + Sun JDK.
Possible that firefox is also affected by this in that it begins to eat up cpu like nobody's business after a few sleeps. Could this be an issue with sleep?

Wim Vandekeybus was born in Herenthout (Belgium) on 30 June 1963. His father was a vet. After finishing secondary school, he moved to Leuven to study Psychology. In 1985, however, he decided to follow a completely different path and auditioned for Jan Fabre, who gave him a part in The Power of Theatrical Madness. One year later, he founded Ultima Vez.
His first show, What the Body Does Not Remember, was an international success, earning him a Bessie Award (New York Dance and Performance Award) for its innovation. And now after almost 30 years and a whole series of films and videos, Wim Vandekeybus is still searching for novelty and innovation. "For me, the form has to be different every time," he explains. "This is why on one occasion I might create an extremely musical show (nieuwZwart or Speak low if you speak love…), then for my next project base a film on the experiences of one man (Monkey Sandwich), why I then might switch to a classical mythology play (Oedipus/bêt noir) or even an analytical piece in which theatricality plays a major part (booty Looting or Talk to the Demon)."
In all these very different productions, Ultima Vez nevertheless remains true to its own movement idiom. Tension, conflict, body versus mind, risks and impulses. Physicality, passion, intuition, instinct. These are essential elements that will always be part of Vandekeybus' work. But on each occasion they are given a completely different appearance.
This variety is made possible partly through collaboration with dancers, circus performers, actors, musicians and other artists from a whole range of disciplines. Music and sound have naturally become the common thread running through his work. Peter Vermeersch, Thierry De Mey, David Byrne, Marc Ribot, Eavesdropper, David Eugene Edwards, Daan, Arno, Charo Calvo, Mauro Pawlowski, Roland Van Campenhout and Elko Blijweert have all composed music for his shows. As a general rule, their compositions are written during the rehearsal stage so that the show and the music develop symbiotically. However, photography and the lyrics and lines are equally important. In booty Looting, Danny Willems took photos – he walked around the stage among the performers, his eye to the lens, and presented his photos live. The writer Peter Verhelst has worked on scripts for Vandekeybus four times (Scratching the Inner Fields, Blush, Sonic Boom and nieuwZwart) and Vandekeybus used Jan Decorte's adaptation of Oedipus, for Bêt noir, no less than three times before he was finally finished with this text.
In December 2012 Vandekeybus received the Keizer Karel prize from the Province of East Flanders. This prize is awarded every three years to an artist as a mark of his exceptional talent in the field of art and culture, his commitment and his work with younger generations. One year later Wim Vandekeybus and Ultima Vez became the 6th laureate of the Evens Arts Prize. They receive the Prize for their important contribution to European contemporary dance, for their multidisciplinary work and for their social and cultural commitment.
2015 sees the screening of Galloping Mind, Vandekeybus' first full-length film. It was shot in Hungary and on the Black Sea in Romania and tells a dramatic story of family ties, betrayal and triangular relationships, with Jerry Killick, Natali Broods and a gang of children on horseback in the leading parts.
In 2016 Ultima Vez has been around for 30 years. To celebrate this, the dance company publishes the long-awaited book The Rage of Staging. It presents an exclusive insight into Vandekeybus' mind and soul and, in addition to written contributions by fellow artists and previously unpublished writings and notes, it contains more than 400 unique pictures illustrating his repertoire.
In 2019, within the framework of Europalia Romania, Wim Vandekeybus created Traces, in which he goes in search of primal instincts, traces older than man and his memory.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) says state-run power companies will spend a total of 79 billion won ($71 million) on cybersecurity this year, an increase of 18 billion won. Minister Yoon Sang-jick on Thursday afternoon met with CEOs of 17 state-run energy companies, including the Korea Electric Power Corporation (Kepco), Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Corporation (KHNP) and Korea Power Exchange.
Kepco, the nation's sole power distributor, will get 28.4 billion won and KHNP 11.5 billion won. Each of the other companies will receive up to 4 billion won. The budget will be mostly spent on hiring security experts, maintaining internal network infrastructure and expanding maintenance teams. All 17 power companies will have to structure their internal network in five systems, from the current three.
The current system is broken down into a regular network that can access the Internet, an intranet that mainly deals with document processing, and an exclusive network to control the power plant. From now on, the intranet will have an additional system for confidential technical documents like power plant blueprints. The power plant control system will also be split into two networks to beef up security.
