Turns out, New Year's resolution season isn't what it used to be. Women are actually "dieting" less these days, according to a new survey of 3,800 adults, which found 11 percent fewer women were "on a diet" in 2012 vs. 1992. Even worse is the fact that in 1985, most women thought being thin was more attractive than being heavy, but fewer than 1 in 4 agree now. Oh boy. That's it. We are totally on a crash course for society as it exists in Wall-E, where humans are all obese and sit in floating chairs all day drinking huge sodas and staring at screens!
OR ... people are just starting to be more health conscious over body conscious? Maybe our perception of beauty is finally starting to shift from the ridiculous to the realistic?
Or what we could be dealing with here is simply a matter of semantics. In 1992, more people said they were on a "diet" or "dieting," because that wasn't a dirty word yet. It was a trendy one! These days, no one wants to be seen as a "dieter." It's much more acceptable to say you've adopted a "healthy lifestyle." So, it's possible that the people surveyed really were doing something to lose weight or watch their weight; they just don't call it a diet.
But the idea that we're starting to think "being thin" isn't as hot as we used to? Well, that's good news! It doesn't mean we're glorifying obesity. Or that our perception of attractiveness is all out of whack because we're all fatsos in 2013. It may simply mean that maybe we're starting to realize that skinny doesn't necessarily equal healthy. Curves -- as in the natural shape of a healthy female frame -- like Beyonce's and/or a ripped, fit body like Jillian Michaels', are hot. Skin and bones are not. And, yes, perhaps having a few extra pounds doesn't necessarily mean you're going to die sooner. In fact, someone who's a bit "heavier" may still be healthier than someone else who's skinny but guzzles diet soda, smokes cigarettes, or has no comprehension of eating in a nutritious way.
At the same time, I see no need for hand-wringing about how this must mean women are slowly but surely "letting themselves go." Obesity is an epidemic, but I'd still venture to guess we're a looooooong way off from it becoming the standard -- or even a socially acceptable form -- of beauty.
What do you think -- have we changed for better or worse when it comes to the perception of the ideal weight and dieting?

Peeing the bed & handling the laundry
Hi to all. Not posting this in medical or the senior forums as I know why this is happening from time to time (kidney problems with a touch of age, and maybe a few "personality" issues thrown in, as she was prone to this years ago from time to time and always knocked the old saying that dogs will never mess where they sleep). I'm also in the process of "resetting" her after she stayed with a dog sitter for a couple of weeks who didn't stick to my routine FWIW.
What I'm looking for general thoughts on how to react when my dog purposely seeks out her bed to pee in (as opposed to leaking in their sleep or losing control when they're sick, which isn't what happened here). She has replacement beds around the house, and in the past when she peed on one, I gave her the other while it was in the wash. But tonight, after she came directly in from outside and peed on her bed, I didn't do that. She's walking around all puzzled looking trying to figure out where her main bed is. btw, she still has access to the other beds, I just haven't moved them into the living room.
If she had only one bed, this wouldn't be an issue, she'd have to wait regardless. But if a dog soils their bedding, from a behavior or "getting it" perspective, is it best to remove (or not remove) and not replace, or give them an alternate something or other to lay on?
Thanks in advance
Someday I hope to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am
Can you give some more background? Details on the dog and this problem?
I'm not at all convinced your dog can make these higher level connections.
Dogs have a teeny attention span. If you CATCH your dog peeing in the bed is one thing - and if so, a loud NO! and bringing the dog outside immediately (to finish the pee there) is a good idea.
But if you do not catch your dog in the act, and 'punish' your dog after the fact, it can not associate the punishment with the deed. Therefore it cannot learn anything, and is unlikely to 'get it'.
15 seconds after the pee is too late. You need to catch the dog AS he pees....
At this point though....the residual urine smell in the bed might be enough to attract the dog to pee there. You'll need to clean that bed SUPER well so that the dog can't smell it. Perhaps others in the forum can suggest a great cleaner if they feel it might help.
Good luck!
Please tactfully EDUCATE or IGNORE posters you don't agree with.
Please PM me & Include URLs and post #'s for any issues and it's my pleasure to help.
I'm firm - but fair. Mind the Rules and enjoy your stay.

@marko, I did mean I catch her in the act, her "living room" bed is literally three-four feet away from where I'm sitting right now and the majority of times she's ever done this, it is right in front of me. We both had just walked in from outdoors where she had refused to pee, and I was in the living room when she walked over to her bed, squat and peed within seconds of coming inside. I moved the bed out from under her and put it in the wash. Shes usually put directly outside when I catch her at this but to be honest, most of the times she just pees across the floor(s) and by the time she gets to the back door, is all done and I have two rooms to mop. Last night, she finished on the bed. I was frankly too tired to clean any more than I had to.
I honestly don't think this is a scent thing at this point because I've brought brand new beds for her even and it didn't ever stop her from doing it. She just likes to pee on her bed from time to time. I do use good strong cleaners though.
In any event, I ended up feeling guilty looking at her laying on the floor where her bed was and brought in one of her other beds.
My main point was when you catch them in the act, whether there was any point in removing the bed right away (i.e. should she feel the wet bed), removing it and not replacing (i.e."hey I just peed on my bed and now I have no bed") or just saying to hell with it and replacing one for another.
Someday I hope to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am
Firstly I would have her checked by the vet for a UTI or crystals. If a urine test comes back clean I would remove all of her beds if this is the only place she is wetting. When you take her outside to do her business, do you have a word for it "Go do your business" or "Go pee"? I would make a point of not letting her back in until she has gone. You said you took her out and she refused to go then came in and went. Don't let her do that. What's more frustrating - waiting ten minutes outside or cleaning up inside?? Good luck to you with this, but I really think a vet trip would be in order.

See how difficult it is to see it? It's not the tall one in the water...it's right in front of the green bushy stuff to the left of the tall one.
And of Mindy just a little while ago...
It's amazing how fast something like this can happen. She has about 20 stitches total.
She's on Novox (generic Rimadyl) twice a day, Tramadol twice a day, and Cephalexin 500mg twice a day. It's a good thing her food (Innova Evo) has probiotics in it...I'm also mixing in a little cottage cheese to help put good bacteria back in her gut.
She's a bit out of it...I'm guessing because of the Tramadol and because it hurts, but I have a feeling as the days go on, I'm going to have a hard time keeping her still.
I'm planning on contacting the city about putting some sort of cushion or having the pikes painted bright orange...the way they are right now makes it very hard to see them. I keep thinking "what if this had been my daughter and she'd fallen face first on this thing" then I get mad all over again and want to beat someone over the head.

Difference between revisions of "Hindi phrasebook"
Revision as of 17:37, 1 September 2012
Hindi हिन्दी is an Indo-European language spoken in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and throughout the Indian diaspora in Fiji, Singapore, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Trinidad, Suriname, Guyana, South Africa, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mauritius, Germany, etc.). Of the 22 national languages and over 1,000 dialects of India, Hindi is promoted by the government and viewed by over half the population as a "link-language."
Hindi is descended from Sanskrit, sometimes called "the mother of all languages," or "Latin of the East." Hindi developed from the proto-Hindi खड़ी बोली Khaṛī Bolī (lit. "Pure language"). A mixture of Hindi and Urdu, called Hindustani (though this name is also applied to the Caribbean dialect of Hindi), is the form heard in most Bollywood films, that try to appeal to the widest audience possible. Hindustani is different than what is taught at the literary level and what is used by news programs and the government in India.
A striking fact is that, depending on the source, Hindi is listed anywhere from the 2nd-5th most widely spoken language in the world. In contrast to languages such as Mandarin or Spanish, there has not been much stress outside of India in promoting Hindi education. In 2006, however, President Bush brought education of India's languages, including Hindi, to the forefront in the United States through the National Security Language Initiative, thus highlighting the need for closer ties and understanding between the two countries.
Hindi is written in the Devanāgarī (देवनागरी) script, shared with Nepali, Marathi and a number of other Indian languages. Learning Devanagari is not quite as difficult as you might think at first glance, but mastering it takes a while and is beyond the scope of most travellers. See Learning Devanagari for a primer.
Most English speakers find Hindi pronunciation rather challenging, as there are 11 separate vowels and 35 separate consonants, employing a large number of distinctions not found in English. Don't let this intimidate you: Many speakers do not speak standard Hindi at home, and are quite used to regional accents and mangling in various degrees.
The key distinction is the difference between short and long vowels. In this phrase book, long vowels are noted with a macron (ā), whereas short vowels are listed without one. You will often come across non-standard romanizations, noted in parentheses below when applicable.
Many Hindi consonants come in three different forms: aspirated, unaspirated and retroflex.
Aspiration means "with a puff of air", and is the difference between the sound of the letter "p" in English pin (aspirated) and spit (unaspirated). In this phrasebook, aspirated sounds are spelled with an h (so English "pin" would be phin) and unaspirated sounds without it (so "spit" is still spit). Hindi aspiration is quite forceful and it's OK to emphasize the puff: bharti.
Hindi retroflex consonants, on the other hand, are not really found in English. They should be pronounced with the tongue tip curled back. Practice with a native speaker, or just pronounce as usual — you'll usually still get the message across.
For emphasizing words don't stress them by voice (which would be regarded as a sign of aggressiveness) but add a to after them.
Voice should always be very low and with few changes in pitch, loudness and stress, so please: relax!.
One of the only stresses found in Hindi is the last long syllable prior to the last syllable (e.g. in "dhānyavād" stress "dhā"). But it is a mild stress which occurs naturally, so don't force it. Don't even think about it!
शुभकामनाएँ! / śubhkāmnāen! / Good luck
Hindi Phrases
Cultural Notes
Greetings: There are no time elemental greetings in Hindi such as good morning, good afternoon, etc. And each religion has its own greetings. It is considered very gracious to address a person by their respective greetings, but not necessary. Namaste is the most ubiquitous greeting, and though of Hindu origin is now mostly secular. It is said with hands folded and a small gesture of bowing – but don't go overboard Japanese style! Namaste literally means "I bow to you." The original religious significance was of bowing to the soul (ātmā) within another. It is custom to touch the feet of someone older than you when saying Namaste. Namaskār has the same meaning, but is used less often in Hindi, though it is common in other Indian languages such as Gujarati and Bengali. Namaskār is thought of as more formal, and as such is used more often when addressing a group or a person of importance. The Sikhs also
Civilities: In Western cultures, saying phrases like please, thank you, you're welcome, excuse me, sorry, etc. are so ingrained into us from a young age that we say them without a second thought. Not so for Indians. Saying such phrases in an inappropriate circumstance might even embarrass the person, or cheapen the gravity of the phrase itself. These phrases are only said in a sincere sense. For example, don't say धन्यवाद (thank you) after a clerk hands you your grocery bag, but when someone goes out of their way to do something nice for you. Sometimes, English words themselves are used; due to the British colonial influence, especially in urban areas and among the upper class. In this case, use them as you would in English. Just remember that like Germans and the French, they sometimes have trouble with English th sounds and therefore pronounce th as थ. When someone is in your way, instead of saying excuse me, or zara suniye, just let out an aspirated ts sound with your tongue behind your teeth to attract their attention. This might seem rude, but is no more rude than children saying "pssst" to get a friend's attention during class! In conclusion, though Hindi has corresponding words to ours, this does not mean that the context in which they are used also correspond likewise. Don't let all of this lead you to believe Indians are cold though – nothing could be further from the truth! These sentiments are merely communicated through body language rather than verbally. To show your thanks, a simple smile will do the trick. Other common gestures include the infamous "head bobble"; and a hand gesture made by swiftly swinging the wrist so your palm is facing the sky and your forefingers slightly elongated. Before travelling to India, rent some Bollywood films so that if a spontaneous Bhangra breaks out in the streets, you'll be ready to join in! All kidding aside, they can demonstrate body language and customs far better than any book is able to, all while acclimatizing you to the language as well.
Prefixes & Suffixes: With the words for "yes" and "no" jī (जी) may be added before to give it a more polite tone. Sometimes, speakers will simply reply with jī, as an affirmation of something someone says. Jī is added to a person's name as a sign of respect. For example; in India, Mahatma Gandhi is known simply as Gandhiji (गांधीजी). Another suffix which is indispensable is vāla (-वाला), often rendered in English as "-wallah". Many books devote whole chapters to vāla. With nouns, it gives the meaning "the one or thing that does" and with verbs, it indicates something is about to happen. Examples:
English Loan Words: The British Empire's influence spread into the language itself, and this continues today with American culture being exported throughout the world. So, an English word or phrase may almost always be inserted into any Hindi sentence. You will often hear Indians, whom while talking in Hindi, pepper their sentences with English words. Sometimes, they'll even alternate sentences, going from Hindi to English, and back to Hindi! Upon meeting an Indian, many times you may not even get to practice your Hindi, because they want to practice their English on you! English loan words are particularly used for modern inventions/technologies, so words like TV, computer and microwave are the same as in English apart from the slight change of accent. However; this is mostly in the cities, and learning some Hindi will have been all the more rewarding when in rural or non-tourist areas, as well as allowing you to communicate with a wider variety of people in the cities.
Gender & The 2nd Person Pronoun: Certain words have different endings depending on your gender. If you are a man, say these with an -a suffix, and if you're a woman, -ī. However; when addressing the person respectively with āp (आप), the masculine ending takes the plural form. This is not all that different from the behavior of other Indo-European languages, c.f. German Sie, which like āp is also both the respectful 2nd person pronoun and plural form of address. The other two forms are the familiar tum (तुम) and intimate tū (तू). These change the forms of certain words. Tum is for friends and peers, tū for small children (within the family); between 'significant others' in private; traditionally to lower castes; in the past, slaves; and, paradoxically, when supplicating to the gods/God (c.f. Greek mythology). As a general rule, stick with āp, until you become more familiar with the language and culture. Forget about tū altogether, at the best using it would be a faux pas and at the worst, very offensive. For those reasons as well as practical ones, this section will only use the āp form.
Forms of Address
The numerals used to write in decimal are called Indo-Arabic numerals. Developed in India, they were borrowed by the Arabs, and gradually spread to Europe. The similarities are hard to miss. Here are their respective numerals.
Clock time
India has two main calendars in use, though other groups like the Parsis have their own calendar as well. The Western (Gregorian) calendar is used for day to day and business affairs, and the Hindu calendar is used by religious communities.
Gregorian Calendar
Hindu Calendar
The Hindu Calendar (विक्रम संवत् Vikram saṃvat) is named after a legendary king of Ujjain, who is supposed to have founded the Vikramditya (विक्रमादित्य) era c. 56 BCE. The year 57 BCE was the first year of this (संवत् saṃvat) era. Thus, to calculate the current date of the Hindu calendar, add 57 years. Today, the Hindu Calendar is used mainly for religious purposes and calculating festivals. Because it is based on the lunar month, every 30 months an "impure" intercalary leap month is added, during which no ceremonies are performed. The Hindi names are variations of the original Sanskrit ones.
Writing the time and date
Give some examples how to write clock times and dates if it differs from English. The time is written exactly as in English, that is hours followed by minutes. 12:45am will thus be दोपहर के 12 बजकर पैंतालीस मिनट (dopehar ke 12 bajkar paintālīs minaṭ), note that बजकर (bajkar) would indicate something like "o'clock" in English . मिनट (minaṭ) is just a literal translation of "minutes."
Travel Vocabulary
Bus and Train
Note: Indian Traffic Signs are much like those in Europe. Words are written in English and sometimes the regional language.
Learning more
Despite Hindi being among Chinese, Spanish and English as the most spoken languages, there is a dearth of resources on the subject(s), and even fewer which are worth-while. Instead of anger of frustration, the Hindi student should instead feel a smug superiority of being ahead of everyone else who are learning other languages, which may fill the rows of bookshelves in bookstores now, but cannot compare with the vast amount of volumes to be written on Hindi in the future! Here is a list of the better books and dictionaries. Stay away from books written for Indians who already know another related Indian language (such as the National Integration series), which make such claims as "Learn This or That Language in 30 days!" Remember the rule of thumb: If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. If you know German, Margot Gatzlaff-Hälsig, has continued the incomparable German tradition of Indologie with two dictionaries and numerous books on Hindi.

Josh Duhamel loves Fergie's lady lumps
LOS ANGELES — Josh Duhamel may diss his pregnant wife in his latest film, but in real life, he loves his lady's lumps.
At the Los Angeles premiere for "Scenic Route," the 40-year-old actor said that although the dark and twisted character he portrays in the movie feels that his wife is unattractive, he thinks Fergie has "never been more beautiful."
"It's the one thing that I sort of opposed in the script and I tried to get it cut out," Duhamel said.
"Scenic Route" is centered on two old friends who are stranded in the desert and must survive the extreme heat. The film opens in limited release Friday.
Fergie, who is due soon, appeared on Duhamel's arm Tuesday night. Is the couple ready for their first child?
Duhamel said they "don't have a bag in the car," but adds that the hospital is close "if anything happens."

Ivan Prall was working on his homework when he heard the radio report about a Japanese attack on the U.S. naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
"I didn't rush off to enlist. I wasn't old enough at the time to be drafted," said Prall, 90, of Malta. "I bought a '33 Plymouth for $90 that summer. That's what I drove up to Rockford to enlist. I left it with my folks when I went off to war."
Today is the 71st anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the attack that paved the way for Prall's drive to enlist in Rockford.
It's the date President Franklin D. Roosevelt said "will live in infamy." An hour after Roosevelt's speech, Congress declared war on Japan. Three days later, Germany and Italy – Japan's allies in World War II – declared war on the United States, which reciprocated the declarations that day.
Some say that Dec. 7, 1941, was the day that yanked a nation out of a depression and foisted greatness upon a generation of soldiers and Rosie the Riveters. Decades later, as the leaders of the free world discuss a "fiscal cliff" and a Palestinian state, one Northern Illinois University assistant professor sees fewer and fewer students recording the oral histories of World War II veterans.
Stanley Arnold, an NIU assistant professor who specializes in 20th century American history, compared the historical impact of the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the Sept. 11 attacks and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
"When you have a tragedy such as this, there's a great sense of, on the one hand, shock, and then a kind of resolve, reconstruction, a rebuilding [in many ways]," Arnold said. "Out of this comes a greater sense of unity. The question is how long this unity lasts."
Stories such as Miller's and Prall's are increasingly living in history books and recordings.
For years, Arnold has had students record oral histories of friends or family members of significant events that occurred before 1992. Over time, Arnold said he has received fewer recollections of the World War II era.
"Tens of thousands of veterans are dying every day, much less regular people who lived through that era," Arnold said. "That's why it's so important to record those memories through oral histories or other documentation."
The United States, which had been giving clandestine support to Great Britain, was fully mobilizing for war. According to a November 2012 fact sheet from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, more than 16 million Americans served in the military from 1941 to 1945 either by enlistment or the draft. Prall enlisted.
Prall drove up to Rockford to enlist the summer after he had taken an elective photography class at the Northern Illinois State Teachers College – the academic predecessor to Northern Illinois University. He pursued his interests in photography, working as an aerial photographer for the Army in the Pacific Theater from 1942 to 1945.
Prall said he landed on 15 different islands during his time in the war, including Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima.
"It was supposed to be a three-day affair, and we landed on Feb. 19 and the last big battle was a night battle on March 26," Prall said of the Battle of Iwo Jima. About 26,000 Americans were killed or wounded on Iwo Jima.
Prall's grandson, Brian, 28, said the stories his grandfather tells have changed over time. They were "always amusing tales and episodes" when he was a kid, but became more action-packed and harrowing as he aged.
"He also showed us his pictures," Brian Prall said. "Some of his pictures were pretty gruesome."
Ivan Prall was wounded on Iwo Jima. He and another soldier were investigating one of the island's many caves. The soldier was two steps in front of Prall when a gunshot rang out in the dark. A bullet penetrated the soldier's torso and hit Prall in the knee. Prall pulled the soldier out of the cave.
Prall said he did not know what happened to the soldier, and while the bullet is still lodged in his knee, he has not had any problems with it. But looking back on it, Prall said he probably would not have gone into the cave.
"There's quite a few things I would have done differently," Prall said.
Another World War II veteran who lives in Malta feels the same way. Charles Miller, now 91, was working on the railroad line for Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad in Chicago when he heard Pearl Harbor was attacked. He was drafted in 1942, when he was 21.
Miller's expertise with railroads had him working on rail lines in North Africa and Italy. He repaired steam locomotives that hauled equipment and soldiers to the front lines.
"I wasn't in combat, but I was pretty close to it," Miller said.
He was homesick; the living conditions were uncomfortable.
"I wouldn't want to live through it again," Miller said.

Incense is a product of aromatic plant matter, often with an oil or resin as a base. In the Orthodox Christian practice, incense is an important liturgical implement which is often considered distinctive to the Faith as well.
History and practice
Incense is burned in a gold censer and ignited by burning charcoal. Customarily, the censer is suspended by chains and swung; however, a hand censer can be used when necessary. The censer is employed only by the priest and/or deacon to venerate all four sides of the altar, the Holy Gifts, the clergy, the congregation, icons, and the church structure itself.
In accordance with Old Testament tradition, incense is used in every Church service. It is burned as an offering to God even as it was in the days of the First and Second Jewish temples. Normally, the resin of the Boswellia thurifera plant (frankincense) is used as a base for incense manufacturing; however, resin from fir trees has also been used. The resin is often infused with a floral oil, producing a fragrant scent when burned. In the Athonite tradition, incense is often sprinkled liberally with clay dust to prevent granules from clumping.
Theological significance
Incense represents prayers of the saints lifting up into the heavens before God (Psalm 141:2 (Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice...)1 Revelations 5:8, Revelations 8:4). Incense is also described as being used in heavenly worship, offering the faithful a foretaste of what is to come.

PC Games on Your iPad, Courtesy of HTML5
The iPad is already a strong entry in the mobile games realm, with its large, high-resolution display, touchscreen interface and support for external devices like keyboards. Plus it has the iPhone/iPad development community cranking out innovative games all the time, too.
In addition to all that existing gaming goodness, it looks like you might very soon be able to play a whole host of your favorite PC games on the platform, too. Not natively, of course (though ports of classics seems to be the thing to do these days), but via game streaming service Gaikai, which, much like OnLive before it, aims to remove the steep hardware barriers associated with many advanced video games.
Gaikai was shown running on an iPad (on Touch Arcade), and playing World of Warcraft on the device. Whether it's a good thing to put WoW in the hands of addicts wherever they happen to go is another question entirely, but the promise of PC games running untethered on a device in your lap is intriguing indeed. I'm not a WoW player myself, but Starcraft II is landing late this July, and I somehow doubt it'll be accompanied by a native iPhone port at the same time.
But will the gatekeepers at Apple allow Gaikai to invade its playground? The move could potentially have serious consequences on the App Store's economics, since conceivably, Gaikai could stream any game to the iPad and other Apple devices, not just ones sanctioned by the Mac maker. Gaikai's Dave Perry says Apple basically can't block the service.
The reason being, Gaikai is HTML5-based technology. That means that its browser-based player will work fine on mobile Safari out of the box, unless Apple goes out of its way to shut down access to Gaikai specifically, which would fly in the face of certain recent correspondence by Steve Jobs himself regarding the closed nature of Flash versus the open nature of HTML5.
Gaikai shows the way to sidestepping iCensorship altogether, at least in terms of streamable web content. At this stage in the game, Apple has basically painted itself into a corner wherein it has to condone anything done using the HTML5 standard, versus rich media that uses browser-based plugins like Flash and Silverlight. It won't work for all apps (like the one that allows you to sync wirelessly, for instance), but it should allow content providers to publish whatever kind of iPad and iPhone-targeted material they want without blocking fears.
We'll see the Gaikai North American beta launch in the comings weeks, and then we'll find out just how much openness Apple can tolerate. Hopefully it's just enough to see me playing Civilization 5 on my iPad this fall.

Tigers Host Belmont to Close Out 2013 Season
Nashville, Tenn. – The Tigers closes out the 2013 season by hosting crosstown foe Belmont for an Ohio Valley Conference series at Tiger Field. Tennessee State and BU are scheduled for one game at 5:00 pm on Saturday with a doubleheader beginning at 1:00 pm on Sunday, weather permitting on both days. TSU will honor their seniors on day two prior to the games.
This weekend's games can be seen on ovcsports.com.
The Tigers and Bruins have squared off 28 times, but this will be the first meeting as conference opponents. Belmont joined the OVC this year after competing in the Atlantic Sun.
After getting rained out on Saturday, the Tigers (14-33, 5-16) dropped two games to Tennessee Tech on Sunday, 7-5 and 7-3. The twin bill sweep at the hands of the Golden Eagles all but eliminated the chances of making the OVC tournament for the first time since 2001.
Jennifer Givens tried to pace the Tigers as she was 4-for-5 in game one and 2-for-3 in the nightcap. Givens scored twice and stole three bases in the opener and scored in the first inning of game two after leading off with a triple to leftfield. The senior is now batting .391 and has the opportunity to be the first player in Tiger history to hit .400.
Belmont (14-33, 4-19)
2012 Record: 13-36
Conference: OVC
2012 Finish: 7-11 (8th, A-Sun)
Series Record: 11-17
Last Time Played: 2012, W 4-3
Last Win: 2012, 4-3
Kat Hollingsworth leads the way for Belmont as she tops eight offensive categories. Hollingsworth is batting .394 with 32 runs, 14 doubles, 11 home runs, 41 RBI and nine stolen bases. Carolyn Snodgress has notched the most innings of the Bruins staff with 85.1 and is followed by Taylor Moon with 79.2, Mia Vierra with 73.2, and Brittanie Albright with 68.1. Snodgress has appeared in 24 games, starting 12, and has amassed a 3.45 ERA with 64 strikeouts while compiling a 4-9 record and two saves. Moon has worked in 28 games with eight starts and is 2-8 with a 3.87 ERA and has fanned 26 batters. Vierra is 4-7 with a 3.33 ERA and has struck out 17 in her 20 appearances and 11 starts. Albright rounds out the staff with a 3-8 record and a 4.51 ERA with 29 punch outs and 43 walks while pitching in 23 games, 16 starts.

What to do, indeed? If indexing a book was the equivalent of traveling, my itinerary during much of May might have looked something like this:
Monday, May 4
Early May, and I am experiencing a rare slow time between trips. I try not to let it worry me too much, reasoning that I can always use the down time to catch up on reading.
Just got word of a possible trip to Mars. I would be leaving on Thursday, May 7. Am looking forward to exploring new horizons and collecting photos of the Red Planet.
Meanwhile, in Canada …
Wednesday, May 6
An agency contacts me concerning the prospect of doing a Spanish to English translation. I write back discussing terms and a prospective time frame for doing the project. The agency POC promises to let me know what the client said. However, still no word back from the client as of this writing.
Thursday, May 7
The day comes and goes without any word on when I might leave for the Red Planet. What could be the holdup? Has the spacecraft developed a problem that needs repairing? Has the camera lens developed a crack, thus requiring a replacement before the desired photos can be taken? Who can say?
Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Spain …
A legal document needs to be translated from Swedish into English. The Barcelona contact and I discuss possible terms. However, the client, as in the previous case, never responds.
Friday, May 8
Finally get word from the Mars trip contact. Apologizing for the delay, she reports that a few trip details will be changing. These will have to be finalized and incorporated into the overall plan before I can take off for the Red Planet. She hopes to know by Monday when the spacecraft can be launched.
Monday, May 11
Manage to get hold of an anthropology professor at the local university. He had sponsored me for a tour of several archaeological digs in Central America back in 2012. Might he be planning any future such trips? Yes, a trip like that is indeed in the offing, and there's a good chance I'll get to come along. However, that trip won't be taking place until some time this fall.
Meanwhile, still no word on when I might be able to leave for Mars.
Tuesday, May 12
Have just gotten word from a history professor at the same university. Having taken me on a trip a couple years back that involved touring the sometimes troublesome U.S.-Mexico border, he now proposes to take me on another trip, this time to various parts of Mexico where development has been uneven. If all goes according to plan, this trip will start on June 9, so there's plenty of time to get ready. As I eagerly anticipate this new adventure, subsequent days see me taking care of paperwork that I need to submit before the trip.
Wednesday, May 13
A Maryland contact writes to discuss plans for an upcoming trip that would involve traveling through the alimentary canal and likely also to places where tasty dishes are explored — all, of course, for the purpose of studying food and nutrition. I might even get a chance to climb the Food Pyramid. While certainly willing to be considered for such a trip, I must first send my qualifications, as well as an example of a description of a previous comparable trip. Only after gathering similar data from other aspiring travelers can she select the final candidate who is to go on this trip.
Still no word of her decision as of this writing.
Meanwhile, in Madrid …
Thursday, May 14
Three Spanish to English documents await translation. This task promises to keep me busy as I await word concerning the Mars trip.
Friday, May 15
Finally get hold of my Mars contact, who now hopes the spacecraft will be ready for takeoff on Monday, May 18.
Monday, May 18
Monday comes and goes. Still no takeoff for Mars.
Wednesday, May 20
Word arrives of an upcoming trip to Northern Europe. This trip would require traveling back in time to the early 1700s, when a war — known as the Great Northern War — broke out between Sweden and Russia. The European trip contact and I discuss terms. From the standpoint of technical details, the trip seems doable, but there's still the matter of timing. Given the extent of all there is to see and do on this trip, will it be possible to cover everything and still make it back on time? The matter is of pressing importance because, following the trip back in time, the trip coordinator will need to leave for Sweden, this time minus the time machine, in order to get together with a Swedish general and also visit Sweden's army museum. Negotiations on the trip departure date are still pending as of this writing.
Meanwhile, in London …
Thursday, May 21
A Swedish business letter requires translation. I agree to take on the job in order pass the time during the seemingly interminable wait for word concerning the Mars trip.
And then, in early afternoon, a miracle occurs. I finally get word that the spacecraft is ready to take off for Mars!
Meanwhile, in Denver, Colorado …
That same evening, word comes that a certain Spanish document needs a translation. I agree to take on the job. Work on that will give me something to do while the spacecraft is en route to Mars.
And that concludes my report of present and future "trips". True, it's all armchair travel. However, unlike physical travel, at least it's cheap, and it doesn't even require a passport.

I just knew I wasn't the only one to hate Caillou!!! Thanks for all of the reading and sharing last week!!
This weekend kicks off summer, my favorite season. When you live in
Alaska Connecticut, where essentially we have winter from October to June (9 months for anyone who's counting) the summer days are precious.
I want to spend every moment I can basking in the sunshine. What I don't want to do is attend annoying functions to celebrate milestones that may or may not warrant celebrating in the middle of a summer day.
I call these types of functions that cut into my beach time, "sun-wasters."
Since Mr. Gaga and I have large families and we are both very entertaining people, the invitations just keep pouring in.
Here are some summer functions that I don't want to get off the beach for…
Your kid's birthday party in the yard: My friend Martha was the worst offender of this a couple of years ago. When I can be at a beach or a pool the last thing I want to do is be in your yard with hot sticky children in a bounce house with face paint dripping down their sweaty faces.
Ironically enough I plan to have Sam's birthday party in my yard on Friday.
Somehow even though Sam's birthday is in May..it always ends up being the hottest day of the year.
Kid's birthday party when it's not their birthday: People around here just throw birthday parties when it suits them. Your kid's birthday is in January but he likes bounce houses? Pretend his birthday is in August and make everyone stop enjoying the beach so that they can be tortured in your yard!
You are moving away and your kid's birthday is in December? Have the party in the summer before you leave!!
No …I am very sorry people but that's not how it works. And if you have a party on the kid's fake birthday, don't even think of inviting us again on the real birthday. How many presents do you think I am going to buy for your kid?
Graduation parties: I have no problem celebrating someone graduating from college or highschool. This is no small feat. However, the commencement for most colleges are in May, high schools are the end of June. You have until July 4th to wrap this up. Don't come knocking on my door in August talking about someone graduating….the ship has sailed my friend.
Reunions: Remember last year when we went to the weeklong reunion of sorts with Mr. Gaga's family at the "Dirty Dancing" facility? At least there was a pool there for god sakes.
As I mentioned earlier, we have all 9 months of winter to get together and drink and take trips down memory lane. I'm not interested in doing that in the sweltering heat with no visible sign of a body of water.
There's nothing worse than going to some weird picnic with people who you barely know. To be surrounded by pot luck mayonnaise filled salads and people playing badminton in someone's hot backyard is just not my cup of tea.
Invite me to meet at a bar in the fall, I will be there with bells on.
Engagement party: Once we have a close friend or family member get engaged we all know that we are into this blessed occasion from anywhere from $500 to $2000. Between the showers, bachelor parties, hotels, dresses, gifts, etc. you have to take out a second mortgage.
That being said – why do I have to kick off this money hemorrhage by giving you an engagement gift?
Especially since we are in our mid 30's. Just because you decided to stay single this long – don't take it out on me. I don't need to watch you make out and profess your love to each other on a hot summer day….We will see you at the shower and the bachelor party and bachelorette party and the stag and the rehearsal and the wedding. Really. We don't need to get off the beach for this.
Weddings on Holiday Weekends: Have any of you ever been on the Interstate 95 in CT or NY? How was that experience? Was it enjoyable?
When I think of Satan at the fiery gates of hell, I envision the gates opening up to the I-95 somewhere around Stamford or the Bronx.
If you venture onto this little interstate during the months of July and August on a summer weekend you might find yourself contemplating suicide.
If you add to this scenario July 4th or Labor Day, you would have to add 3 hours at least to reach your wedding destination in a timely manner.
It's cruel and unusual punishment.
All I want to do is go to the beach, take an outdoor shower, enjoy some delightful summer cocktails, eat some grilled food items, eat smores, watch a firework and go to bed.
What I don't want to do is drive on the I-95 for 10 hours, prespire excessively in some sweatbox of a church, watch you and your family do the macerena, miss the fireworks and get back on the I-95 for another five hours home in the morning.
Showers: Whether it's for your pending nuptials or the birth of your child, if the sun is shining I don't want to be there.
There's a beach chair and an US Weekly calling my name and I don't need to sit here oohing and ahhing while you unwrap 50 Boppy covers. I also don't want to play "bridal bingo" while you open pans and tank tops that say "Sexy little bride."
I don't care to eat some sort of chicken marsala dinner in the middle of the day followed by cake and coffee like I am 85 years old.
There's nothing worse than going to a shower at 11:30 am and rolling out at like 4 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon in the summer. You are blinded by the light after being held prisoner for so long and you just have to go home and go to bed because the whole day is destroyed.
In closing, don't take offense when I don't come to your event this summer.
It's nothing personal, it's just that I just have olive skin that needs some tanning…..

How about creating a forum for anything NOT about religion, atheism or the paranormal?
It could be post-moderated by transferring discussions that involve those subjects to other forums.
Views: 355
You mean like science, or mathematics, or even alpine skiing? (There are other fora on other Websites for those, but if there were such interest here I would not be opposed to the idea.)
I would point out that, not being the owner, moderator, or even hidden venture capitalist behind Atheist Nexus is the point of this Website seems to be atheism. I come here for discussion of atheist issues. For other issues I go to other places.
On a tongue-in-cheek note, they could start a form called not-about-religion. That might be in the same vein as not-about-coin-collecting, or not-about-monster-trucks.
I like this place as a community. There are lots of interesting, smart and nice people here. But the discussions that aren't about atheist issues are buried in the rest.
Those people do not include me, as I am neither interesting, smart, nor nice. I am the uneducated boob out on the High Plains with no education beyond college.
My only concern would be would be the dilution of the point of the forum, but as I said, it is not my forum. There are many fora for all manners of topics, but very few devoted to atheism and our place in society.
You're looking at it as a place to go discuss something specific. I and many people here see it as a community, and if people here are tired of the usual atheist subjects, it would be nice to have a place to discuss other things. I like "Beyond Atheism" as a title.
I dunno, another site I frequent has a section called "Drunken Ramblings". That works for me, although I don't think intoxication is a prerequisite to posting.
The title could be Atheism + but post-moderation smells of censorship.
I agree
Actually, I like "Beyond Atheism" better as a title. Then the forum info would say that religion, atheism and paranormal are off-topic.
For people who are tired of the usual atheist subjects.
Or perhaps "Besides Atheism." Or "Potpourri." I could dig it.
What "Beyond Atheism" is meant to suggest, is if you weren't thinking about the effects of a religious upbringing/culture, or you weren't much affected by them anyway, what would you be thinking about?
Yes, it does tweak people's noses a bit :), but it's not intended to promote some kind of theism as "beyond atheism".
I wonder if it's possible to have a place at AN where there are links to discussions, blog posts, etc. that aren't on religion, atheism or the paranormal.
There's an overlap between forums like "Water Cooler" and "Science" and topics that are "Beyond Atheism", so perhaps a place for posting such links would be better than the usual discussion forum. The "Water Cooler" and "Science" forums actually have a lot of the usual atheist subjects.
I'm sympathetic to the usual atheist subjects, I have some interest in them, but there are lots and lots of other things to think about.
The problem is that there are posts here that aren't about the usual atheist subjects, but they aren't collected in any convenient way, so you have to wade through a lot of "the usual" to find them.
There are lots of people who are nontheists but aren't interested in the usual atheist subjects, and it would make this site more inclusive for them to have some way to collect posts that aren't "the usual".
I thought of a way to do this: I would make a blog post, it would be entitled "Not the usual". The action would be in the comments: people would post short comments with links to content they like, that isn't about religion, atheism or paranormal subjects. The content could be either on this site or elsewhere online.
The blog post itself would explain what is wanted in the comments section.

3 Debut Handbag Lines Everyone's Buzzing About
Whether you're an urban adventurer seeking a chic yet practical purse or an on-the-go stylesetter who wants a versatile carryall, we've found three debut bag collections for fall--Mansur Gavriel, Time's Arrow, and Roland Mouret--you need to know about now. Click through our slideshow to find out everything about these covetable labels and shop our picks from each.
As evidenced by his elegant, form-fitting creations, often featuring origami-like folds and geometric details, it's clear that Roland Mouret's already mastered the art of the dress. But for F/W 13, he's debuting handbags. "Designing leather goods really pushes you to question your creativity, and for me bags are the next level in my design maturity," Mouret says. "It really is the most important category since I started creating dresses." Each piece tells a story based on Mouret's time living in Paris in the '80s, like the Le Sept bag named after a nightclub he once frequented.
Shop It: Roland Mouret Hugo Clutch ($1195, +44 207 518 0700) in Teal/Taupe
The bags are designed to be worn from day to night, so they're ideal for the working professional on the go. "The collection is a heavy mix of French attitude, combined with the elegance and practicality of the Roland Mouret woman," the designer explains.
Shop It: Roland Mouret Le Sept Bag ($2595, +44 207 518 0700) in White/Stone
Mouret's four-style collection is timeless with subtle elements that set it apart, such as a rich colour palette and luxe textures (goatskin, suede, and stingray). Mouret says they were designed with great attention to detail, "including a secret mirror stowed inside the clutch." Each bag's an investment-worthy splurge you'll wear for years to come.
Shop It: Roland Mouret Monceau Crossbody Bag ($1695, +44 207 518 0700) in Black
A chat with friends spurred CEO Christine Park to create Time's Arrow (her career in fashion apparel and a lifelong love of collecting bags helped too). "We noticed how many bags look great but lack real function," Park says. "I wanted one that works in all aspects--great style, quality, and usability--so I decided to figure out how to make it!"
Shop It: Time's Arrow Jo Leather Tote Bag with Pocket ($765) in Bone
"Women who live creative and engaged lives," Park explains. "Time's Arrow is a metaphor. Time has an arrow and it streams forward, like life. Our brand is forward-thinking and we design with the needs of a forward-thinking woman in mind."
Shop It: Time's Arrow Mini Trilogy Crossbody Bag ($495, available in Black and Purple) in Paprika
It's all about the details. For example, the hardware on each Time's Arrow creation is custom-designed, and they use handpicked leathers and Italian lambskin embossed with croc and viper patterns. "We design outside in and inside out, leaving no detail undiscovered," Park says of the label's debut 15-style collection.
Shop It: Time's Arrow Embossed Gya Clutch Bag ($350, available in Black) in Navy Croc
True story: two girls meet for the first time in 2010 at a xx concert in Los Angeles and bond over their design philosophies. They keep in touch, and two years later, Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel move from Los Angeles and Berlin, respectively, to New York to start Mansur Gavriel. "The line began with the simple criteria that whatever we make should have longevity," Mansur says. "We loved the idea of the woman's handbag, as it's an object that becomes a habitual part of daily life, and we couldn't find bags we liked in the contemporary price range."
Shop It: Mansur Gavriel Large Flat Zipper Clutch ($190) in Cammello
If "chic European elegance meets California easiness" speaks to you, you'll fall for Mansur Gavriel's colourful bags (there are five styles in 13 colorways). "The hues express a range of emotions--whether it be a bright happy yellow, a fun shock of pink, a cool downtown red, or soft and refined lavender grey," Mansur says. And if you have an active lifestyle, all the better as the bags are "something you can beat up, yet the sophistication and quality still shines through."
Shop It: Mansur Gavriel Bucket Bag ($410) in Black
Mansur Gavriel's carriers are made from Italian vegetable tanned leather, a material both girls love working with. "It's special, as it builds up a patina specific to your daily life and memories," Mansur explains. "The colour will deepen, and the leather will become rich and beautifully distressed as you use it more and more over time."
Shop It: Mansur Gavriel Large Tote ($385, 310.860.0123) in Brandy

You don't have to be a highly paid consultant to understand more than Mitt and Ann do.
Mitt Romoney has come out of his den after licking his wounds since November. He seems to blame his loss on "mis-speaking." Hah, I thought he spoke his disdain of ordinary folks, the 47%, quite clearly. Ann, blames the media for "our loss. Hah, again! Is it the fault of "the media" that she wore a silk-tee shirt priced at over $900 as she and Mitt were interviewed? Many of us could be 100 tee shirts, or more, for $900. And we do not drive "a couple of Cadillacs," nor have an elevator in our garages so we can stack our cars.
They STILL don 't get it. They are icky. They are snobs. They hide their money, and avoid taxes.
People who do actual work, like caring for the sick, waiting tables, paving streets, teaching kids, building homes and office buildings, working in factories, saving lives by being police and firemen, being on their feet all day as sales clerks, growing the food we eat, mining and processing the elements we us, protecting the wild life, researching the drugs we need, and on and on---the REAL people, who do REAL work, pay REAL taxes, and who believe in "government of the people, by the people, and for the people"---these are the REAL people, who saw the Romoneys for the out of touch, elitest snobs they are.
It is no mystery---the 47% saw them clearly, and said, No Way. You dont get it. And they still don't. I await my consultant's fee.

Maybe some anger issues?TheJoe wrote:You know some people have their own reasons for not wanting a one pump. Ok so here is mine lets see if you think I'm being illogical you small minded self serving twit that thinks he knows what is best for everyone else. And that goes for all you lazy asses that think just because it saves you time that no one out there should dare disagree with you. How dare someone have another opinion!!!!Flight Time wrote:No, pretty much all those reasons are illogical with modern one-pumps, which coincidentally, is why all modern kites are one pumps, save for ones that have logical reasons for not being so, such as ultra light wind models.
I ride hard my kite crashes hard! One pump has far more points of failure actually twice as many points to be exact. Matter of fact I had 4 failures last spring with a brand new kite. Like I said I ride hard. I bet most of the people that don't want the one pump have the same riding style as I do. I'm fortunate that my local spot is shallow and I can walk in if I have a failure. I would hate to swim in with a fully deflated kite. Oh get this those clips don't hold in the kinds of crashes I put my kite thru.
Oh get this I all so fly C kites you know the ones that are for the hardcore blah blah whatever. If that is the case then why do they have one pump? I don't know I don't care I just want the option to have both. I'm not going to set here and tell everyone else they should abandon one pump. Do I think that yes but its your dollar buy what you want. Just don't insult myself or others for actually understanding how large of a safety hazard it truly is.
And while I'm at it stop being a bunch of pussies with panties all jammed up your va-jay-jays because some one might want something different then you.
I think it might not be a coincidence that that rant was your 666th post, Satan!


text: Before I write anything I want to make it clear I've done a ton of research and been all over the internet looking at various vapes and I know what I want. I just would really like some more input from other users. I really wish there was more of a try before you buy way to purchase vapes since they are so individual. So I own a MFLB and have for a long time now. I absolutely love it. Love the flavor and the vapor I get. It's easy to use, doesn't smell, and uses very little material but gets the job done nice and quick (I also use the power adapter, which I also highly recommend), but I wanted to expand my horizons so I did some research and it seemed like everyone on earth was recommending the Pax. I've had that now for a week and am not impressed. First it smells a lot more than the MFLB, secondly even using the screen trick it uses what seems like a lot of material and it burns through it very quickly even at low. The sessions seem to have to be quick and I don't seem to get as high. I'm sure there's some trick to drawing off it or just using it in general that I'm missing but I've tried every tip I could find. So basically a quick summary of what I'm looking for: -can be portable or not, don't plan to take it anywhere -uses a small amount of material -no to minimum smell -can have long, casual sessions -good taste & smoothness (Pax always tastes a little burnt and plastic-y as well as find myself coughing a lot, and yes it's a real Pax) - using herbal material, not concentrates or oil etc I'm looking at the Plenty and the Firefly as candidates right now but am open to other suggestions. I know the Plenty has a large container but it seems like using the concentrate pad you wouldn't have to use much material.

Liberty News
Alumna wins local Teacher of the Year award
|Jennifer Lovett
Graduates of Liberty University's School of Education are impacting the world for Christ, starting right here in Lynchburg.
On Monday, the start of Teacher Appreciation Week, Jennifer Lovett, a 2002 elementary education graduate who also received her master's degree from Liberty as a program specialist in reading in 2008, was honored as Lynchburg City Schools' Teacher of the Year. She is a reading specialist at Linkhorne Elementary School.
"I love being a teacher, and I am thankful for Liberty University and the love, instruction, and experiences I received while studying to be a teacher and reading specialist," Lovett said. "Through the care and concern of committed professors, the challenging curriculum, and the field experiences and training, my time at Liberty prepared me well to be able to share the light and love of Christ through teaching."
Lovett was notified of her recognition on Monday with a surprise visit from LCS Superintendent Dr. Scott Brabrand (read the related story in The News & Advance).
Michelle Goodwin, associate dean for licensure programs for Liberty's Teacher Education Department, said Lovett was one of her first students when she started teaching at Liberty in 2001.
"She had a voracious work ethic," Goodwin recalled. "Effective, exemplary teachers are the educators out there who tenaciously labor and seek multiple ways to meet the needs of their students no matter the situation. When students know their teacher cares for them and will go the extra mile for them to succeed, they will work hard to achieve their goals. Jennifer is this type of educator, and I am so proud that she has been chosen to receive this accolade."
Goodwin has observed the ripple effect of the school's outreach expanding each year, with students participating in approximately 1,000 practicums for the 2012-2013 school year with 159 student teaching assignments locally and another 320 externally. Including Liberty University Online programs, there are currently 10,331 students enrolled in the School of Education.
"It's awesome to see how we are impacting the community more and more with time and growth," said Beth Ackerman, associate dean of the School of Education.
She said for every elementary education graduate from Liberty, there is an opportunity to impact about 900 children.
"Even more children are impacted by our other programs, such as reading specialists, special education, school counselors, administrators, and secondary teachers," she added. "With approximately 1,000 students graduating on Saturday in the School of Education, we are sending out Champions for Christ that will impact over 1 million children just this year."
Another Liberty alumnus, Daniel Rule, was recently named principal at Lynchburg's Dearington Elementary School for Innovation.
Lovett was the third alumnus to receive the award in recent years.
"Teaching is a significant duty and requires a great deal of effort, but I believe it is also a most precious privilege to play such an important role in the lives of children," she said. "I feel blessed to work for Lynchburg City Schools. I'm grateful for our leadership, my students, and the teachers that I work with at Linkhorne Elementary."

In the Madsonic Android app I am not able to see any of the files in my "Movies" media folder. However, I can see them just fine via the Web Gui.
The folder structure for movies is like so:
Also, there is one folder in the root of the Movies folder titled "extrafanart" which is used by XBMC/KODI. Do I need to somehow exclude this folder in Madsonic so all of my movie files in the root of the Movies folder will show up in the Madsonic Android client? I also have the same issue in the Ultrasonic Android app.
Episodes from my "TV Shows" media folder display just fine, but they are in a folder stucture like so:

Beach Boys Lyricist Goes After Artist Who Dared To Paint Works Inspired By Beach Boy Songs
from the copyright-dreamin' dept
Instead of fighting back with lawyers, den Breejen and the gallery have approached Parks himself to try to negotiate some kind of out-of-court agreement. Parks was already credited in the exhibition's press release and in a booklet den Breejen distributed at the gallery, but soon he could be considered a collaborator — entitling him to a percentage of the proceeds. (Van Dyke's manager did not respond to a request for comment.)It's difficult to see how this is not fair use, but since we live in a world where fair use isn't determined until after an expensive court process, we'll never know in this case.
Until the two sides settle their differences, the gallery has put on hold at least two sales inquiries
Update: Just some clarifications, as per the comments. Parks was a lyricist for the band, rather than a direct member. Separately the paintings do include lyrics from the songs, which should have been made clear. I don't see how either point really changes the overall analysis, however.
