Cheb i Sabbah was a musical pioneer, fusing together entire cultures of sound and music, pushing cutting edge blends of traditional songs with beats and ideas which were way ahead of his time.
"Chebiji" as he was affectionately known passed away November 6, 2013 at the age of 66 after being diagnosed with stomach cancer over 2 years ago. At that time he was given 4 weeks to live and through a combination of alternative therapies funded by his friends and fans, along with a sheer will to live, he exceeded all expectations for someone with an advanced stage of cancer.
We are releasing this special remaster as a benefit to his family: he has two kids and three grandkids, who are largely dependent on him. All the proceeds from this remix will go straight to the family.
Get this exclusive remix below or CLICK HERE
Lavish Habits presents 'Just Because', the new single from Body Language's sophomore album 'Grammar'. The original album version is a super funky track with a huge chorus and instrumental hook.
For the remixes, ambitious young producer Beatsronaut has a sugary pop rendition that'll get you warmed up, followed by Figgy's rework with melodic synths and danceable claps.
Next, Brooklyn producer Dunes adds a twist by transferring the track into a slinky dance mix. Rounding out the package, JPrez delivers a deep and dreamy space jam that's destined for the dance floor, and Garth Trinidad makes the final cut with a remix of Body Language's first single, "Well Absolutely".
Scroll down to check out all the mixes or download it HERE .
Here's a new Om Playlist 'For the Good Times' – I included a bunch of new goodies as well as some lesser known hidden tunes from the past. I hope you enjoy the tunes, and please remember to follow Om Records on Spotify to check out more exclusive playlists.
Hi Omies! Om Yoga 2 is out worldwide. Here's the direct link to get it on iTunes. Hope you dig. To celebrate, we've launched the official Om Yoga website. Stay tuned for upcoming info on release parties in San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles to be announced in the coming weeks.

It has been an amazing Summer and we at Om Records are proud to present 'Kaboom', a single from the new artist on Om's roster, Louis La Roche . Louis La Roche (Brett Ewels) is a DJ, remixer and producer from Norwich, UK. His work appeared on several compilations from Ministry Of Sound, Modular, Defected, Neon and Annie Mac Presents, and Channel 4's Skins. Furthermore, Louis has shared the stage with Armand Van Helden, A-Trak, 2ManyDJs and many more. At 22 years old, he is perhaps the next great hero for the British dance music scene.
Louis La Roche delivers Kaboom, a tune that will make everyone bounce with power chords, wow-wow filter sweeps, and classic chi-town-style vocals – all of which come together to create that signature old- school house sound. The second track, 'Funk Trunk Skunk' is a funky jam with a bouncy Latin-esque beat that still holds true to La Roche's fun vibes with warm synths. The perfect blend of raspy vocals and blaring horns would liven up any dance floor.
One of the original Om artists, Afro-Mystik, returns with 'The Road', his first song in 7 years. It's classic broken-beat with a haunting ethereal vocal from Jade Alexis (of Microphone Hands fame). Check out the video below and pick up Om Lounge 13 here .
Om Records presents the second volume of Om Yoga featuring deep, richly layered, soothing modern music for movement and flow. Om Yoga vol. 2 features unreleased tracks, rare remixes and hidden favorites from the extended Om Records family including DJ Drez, Blackbird Blackbird, Nightmares on Wax, J Boogie's Dubtronic Science and many more. Whether your yoga practice is at home, in a studio or outside, we feel this mix will serve you and hope that you enjoy it for many years to come.

Ignite the passions of spring with a slow-groovin' comp designed to awaken you from hibernation: Om Lounge, Vol. 13 is the perfect mix of deep cuts and thick beats, combining your favorite artists from the Om Records roster, new and old. Miguel Migs and Rob Garza bring you up a mid-tempo heaters while Death on the Balcony take you back down with their trademark slow-buildin' deep house grooves. Lovebirds' full-fledged disco and laid back vibes play perfectly against Edit Murphy's spacy slow jams, while the subdued nu-disco of Crazy P entices with vocals over spooky synths. Other lounge-worthy jams from the likes of Justin Martin and Hot Toddy, plus brand-new tracks from Shiny Objects and Afro-Mystik round out this über-cozy compilation.
Order digital and CD now. CD purchase includes complimentary 1 month Om Drip subscription. Om Drip is a premium service that gives you instant early access to Om Records releases, exclusive content, discounts, and more. Complimentary 1 month subscription emailed out after CD purchase is placed.
In "Mood Swings" EP, Miguel Migs and Shades Of Gray have come together to deliver a fine Deep House affair drenched in rich textures, subtle undertones and moody melodies. Aspects of both classic and modern deep house intertwine expertly on these four tracks, creating edge and dynamism that is dance-floor ready.
The release starts off strong with "Create a Mood," a truly deep groover of unparalleled freshness. With richly textured vocals, zippy synth stabs, lush layers, and tightly woven percussion, this track creates a mood of total allure and classic deep house appeal. "Down Underground" brings the late-night party vibes with a thick, sinister bass-line and a hypnotic vocal taking you deeper underground and telling you to dance 'til dawn.
"Let Me" is a feel-good moody jam with a thick, chunky bass-line, sparkling synths, hearty handclaps and an undeniable female voice that teases: "let me". The "Salty Dub" channels more bounce with extra layers of throw back synth chords and a double-boost of boogie.

An overnight visit to St. Helena yields great eats (and killer English muffins).
TABLEHOPPING It's time for another installment of wine country overnighters — perfect winter getaways without the crowds (and price surges)! Now we're heading to historic St. Helena, which draws throngs of people to its charming main street of shops and restaurants. Downtown, however, has always been a little short on accommodations. The recently renovated Wydown Hotel (1320 Main St, St. Helena. www.wydownhotel.com) is changing that. This boutique hotel has 12 rooms, big fab beds, and a comfortable residential vibe that's contemporary and stylish. (Try to get a luxury corner room if you can).
Then there's always the nearby and stunning Meadowood (www.meadowood.com), the ultimate in luxury resort accommodations — if you can splurge — and its downtown sister property, Southbridge Napa Valley (1020 Main St, St. Helena, www.southbridgenapavalley.com), which is more affordable and has spa facilities. If you want something a little secluded from downtown, there's the Wine Country Inn (1152 Lodi Lane, St. Helena. www.winecountryinn.com), a spacious property with beautiful vineyard views, although the look and feel can be a bit suburban.
After you check in, go for an amble down the main drag. You'll want to pick up some handmade chocolates from Woodhouse Chocolate (1367 Main St., St. Helena. www.woodhousechocolate.com) which is styled like a jewelry shop. Pick up a single bite for yourself — pistachio for me! — or a box for later (like caramels with fleur de sel).
Thirsty? Always. You can visit the new Orin Swift tasting room (1325 Main St, St. Helena. www.orinswift.com) and taste a portfolio of full-bodied reds, a few whites, and China Doll rosé. If it's a cocktail you crave, cheers, you can head to Goose & Gander (1245 Spring St, St. Helena. www.goosegander.com), which not only offers damn good cocktails thanks to bar star Scott Beattie, but there's also a cozy basement bar to enjoy them in (a fun spot at the end of the night, with a killer burger). Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch (738 Main St, St. Helena. www.longmeadowranch.com) also has a busy bar, and you can snack on cheddar cheese biscuits with your bevvie, plus other bar bites. Oh, and there's a happy hour Mon–Fri 4pm–6pm.
It's time for dinner. Head to La Condesa (1320 Main St, St. Helena. www.lacondesa.com/napa), an import from Austin which is rocking a new Mexico City-meets-Northern California menu from chef Chris Mortensen. (If you haven't been here for a while, it's time to give it another chance.) Once you have margaritas on your table, skip the guacamoles and go for the stellar tortilla soup and the fluke ceviche with potato, and mains like the juicy oak-grilled chicken, and the stuffed poblano chile (absolutely delicious, and vegetarian!). Dessert is all about the house-made ice creams — get a couple.

Howdy! Long time Kings fan, finally ready to jump into LGK. I'm from Fullerton which is, of course, in the OC. However, I've never even dreamed of supporting "that other team". I'm a Kings fan through and through.
I became a Kings fan about 12 years ago when I worked alongside a couple of diehard fans. The more they talked about hockey and the LA Kings the more I became interested. This all culminated them taking me with them to a game at the Great Western Forum. I was hooked instantly. I don't know if those two guys still post here, but Jeff and Adam, if you're reading this, Miguel says 'Hello' and thanks for getting me into the Kings.

Add domain aliases for your domain or, if you are a reseller, for your customers.
Resellers can create domain aliases for their customers. If you are a direct customer, however, and you want to create a domain alias, please contact our support team.
About Domain Aliases and Accepted Domains
You may want to create a domain alias if, for example, your company owns several domains (e.g., mycompany.com, mycompany.biz, mycompany.us), and you want to direct all incoming email to the company's primary domain. For example, let's say the primary domain for your company is "mycompany.com," but you also purchased "mycompany.biz" and "mycompany.us." If you assign "mycompany.biz" and "mycompany.us" as domain aliases, email that is sent to mailboxes at "mycompany.biz" and "mycompany.us" will be automatically redirected to a mailbox on the primary domain, "mycompany.com".
There is a difference, however, in terminology ("Domain Alias" versus "Accepted Domain") and functionality (i.e., how the email is redirected), depending on the type of email hosting service you are using:
To add a domain alias or accepted domain, perform the following steps:

Oppose PA House Bill 934, the Voter ID Bill
Please oppose Pennsylvania House Bill 934, which would prevent thousands of Pennsylvania citizens from voting.House Bill 934, the "Voter ID Bill," which passed in the PA House of Representatives last fall, is under consideration by the Senate. The Voter ID Bill would require all citizens, except for those with religious objections, to produce a photo identification card in order to vote. The photo identification would have to be issued by the government, an accredited Pennsylvania public or private institution of higher learning or a Pennsylvania care facility. Proponents of the Bill claim that the legislation is necessary to combat voter fraud. However, there is no evidence that voter fraud is a problem in Pennsylvania. The real effect of the legislation would be to keep thousands of otherwise eligible Pennsylvania citizens from voting. A recent study conducted by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law shows that 11% of U.S. citizens lack photo ID. Disproportionately, those without photo ID tend to be elderly, minority, indigent or disabled citizens. The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy. The stability of our democracy and the confidence of the people in our government depend upon the right to vote being easy to exercise. A proposed law that would have the effect of making it more difficult for any citizen to vote must be weighed against the problem to be solved by such legislation. The Voter ID Bill fails this test. The Philadelphia Bar Association has opposed similar legislation introduced in previous sessions of the General Assembly, and opposes House Bill 934 as an unnecessary impediment to the exercise of a citizen's right to vote. The Philadelphia Bar Association urges its members to contact their state senators to discuss with them the importance of voting rights and the negative impact of the Voter ID Bill. A personal contact, either face-to-face or by telephone, can be highly persuasive. An incisive letter is another effective tool to get your point across. Use the format letter on this page to get started. Be sure to personalize the letter to increase the likelihood that your point of view will be noticed. Take action today on the issues that will make Pennsylvania a better place to live and work.

Dear Diary (Switzerland)
"I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures. Jacob is family. You are…well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love you for much longer than that. The love of my existence. I don't care who's a werewolf and who's a vampire. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can join the party, too."
Zürich Switzerland; it's the most beautiful place I have visited, ever. Actually, Switzerland in its entirety is beautiful. Everything from the city full of art galleries, and shopping that Alice would kill for . . . literally, to the alps and the country side with sparkling rivers, isolated mountain valleys, hills covered with woods and vineyards . . . I could go on forever.
When Edward and I first arrived, we went directly to a chalet that was secluded, literally, in the middle of nowhere. He told me not to ask any questions, grabbed my hand and we ran up the mountain. I could see every pure white, sparkling pellet of snow. The icicles hanging off the tree branches were perfectly smooth, glassy.
The chalet was beyond words. I thought I felt my lifeless heart come back to life for a second. The exterior was impressive, but had nothing on the inside. As soon as we walked through the door, my nose was flooded with the smell of oak. The entire chalet was done in oak with huge windows that looked out on the snowy mountain. It was huge, too. I wondered what anyone would do with so much space.
I let Edward into my mind, so he could understand how blown away I was. I knew nothing I could say would possibly explain how completely beautiful I thought the chalet was. I was pretty much speechless, too, which made it difficult to even attempt to say anything.
After I picked my jaw back up, I grabbed Edward's hand, feeling his perfect, long fingers lace around mine, and I walked with him though the interior to explore everything. When I got to the master bedroom, I stopped at the door, somewhat embarrassed by the bouquet of flowers in the middle of the bed. When I looked down, I felt even more embarrassed by all the flower petals dotting the floor. They literally covered the entire floor. I couldn't see the oak wood anymore, just petals. Every petal looked like it had been part of a different flower. I saw tulip petals, rose petals, begonia petals and a bunch of others I didn't recognize.
Edward knows I don't like presents, or big celebrations. When I saw the large object wrapped in pale blue foil paper with a silver ribbon on top, I bit my lower lip, jutting my jaw out enough to show Edward I wasn't pleased by him going against my wishes. We promised each other that we would spend time together alone for our anniversary, and that it wouldn't include anything that came in gift wrap.
"I didn't buy anything, Bella. I don't like putting you in a bad mood, so I've learned to curb my appetite for buying you extravagant things." He paused, glancing at the present, then around the room. "I didn't even pay for this chalet, actually. It belongs to the Denalis. They knew it was our anniversary and told me they would be more than happy to let us borrow it. I didn't pay a dime for whatever is under the wrapping paper, either," he promised, grinning that perfect grin that will forever melt me.
I sat on the edge of the bed and sniffed the flowers. The sweet smell was almost intoxicating and much stronger than I anticipated. Edward placed the large gift on my lap and smiled. "Happy Anniversary, Bella. I love you with everything I have in me. I hope you'll always know that." He softly placed the piece of hair that was dangling in my face behind my ear to get a better view of my expression. I didn't look him directly in the face, in fear of turning into butter. I might be inhumanly strong, immortal and indestructible, but Edward has a way with pulling at my heart strings, always.
With one tear of the wrapping paper I could already tell what the gift was. A painting. I tugged the rest of the paper off and tossed it to my side so I could examine the painting that was outlined with a beautiful rustic frame. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the perfect face looking back at me from the oil painting. It was Edward, and his crooked grin. Somehow he looked even more beautiful than ever looking back at me from the painting. I almost didn't even notice that I was painted next to him, and Renesmee was on his lap. I had to look twice when I saw Jacob in the painting, standing behind Edward, looking down at Renesmee. "Switzerland" was painted in beautiful writing across the top of the picture. I was speechless, again.
"Bella, one of the many things I admire about you is your ability to make a decision and stick to it. You decided to move to Forks, and didn't leave just because it was cold, wet and miserable. You decided you loved me, and never stopped. You decided you loved Jacob, as a friend, and didn't change your mind. If it weren't for you being 'Team Switzerland' this whole time, we could have lost everything when the Volturi came to battle. Without the werewolves, who knows what could have happened . . . and Nessie wouldn't have the one person in her life who makes her the happiest. You don't have to hang the painting up, but I wanted to show my appreciation, regardless. I love you Bella. I love our family. Happy anniversary." Edward touched his perfect lips to my shoulder, letting his kiss linger longer than usual.
I love the painting. It's the most beautiful piece of art I've ever seen in my life. Once the shock wore off my face, I thanked Edward, over and over, then placed the painting in a safe spot to make sure nothing happened to it. I knew I was going to put it up in our cabin as soon as we returned to Forks.
Edward and I hunted, to make sure we would be able to endure all the mouthwatering humans that would be flooding the streets in the city. We looked around the art galleries, once the sun set, and of course I didn't see anything even comparable to the painting Edward had given me. I found out later that one of Edward's old friends, who I haven't met, was the one who painted my beautiful picture. He, too, is a vampire. Although I haven't met him, Edward plans to introduce me sometime. I'm happy I will eventually have the chance to thank him in person.
Our anniversary was perfect. We took advantage of our time alone to bond in ways we can't always do at the cabin, with Nessie and Jacob there. Lets just say Edward ripped all of the pillows in the master bedroom at the Denali's chalet. I might have ripped one or two as well. We replaced them with different ones before we left, though.
We are back in Forks now. Alice had a small party planned for our anniversary when we got back. It was nice to have everyone together, reminiscing on all we've been through together. This has definitely been a far from normal life, but I wouldn't take back one second of it. I am happy to be part of this world of "mythical creatures."
EDIT: Looking for a new dark love story to read? I have written a novella called, 'My Darrling.' (This is not the Willow series I've been working on, rather it's a small side project.). You can read a preview and purchase 'My Darrling' here!

Mark Zuckerberg's social networking gurus at Facebook seem to think the men and women of Special Operations Speaks, who've spent much of their lives fighting on behalf of their fellow Americans do not deserve the freedom to exercise the rights guaranteed them under the First Amendment — at least, not when that exercise involves criticizing President Barack Obama days before an election about his mishandling of and lying about Sept. 11 events in Benghazi, Libya.
On Saturday, a Benghazi-focused meme (above) was posted on the organization's website by Political Media Inc. President Larry Ward, the man who handles SOS social media and publicity efforts. It's message: "Obama called the SEALs and they got Bin Laden. When the SEALs called Obama, they got denied."
Twenty-four hours later, Ward was informed by Facebook monitors that he had violated Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities with the meme. As a result, the SOS account was suspended for 24 hours. At last check, the meme is back up on the SOS Facebook page.
Before the election next Tuesday, please consider donating to Special Operations Speaks and spread the word about how Obama denied assistance to people on the ground, including one U.S. ambassador and two former Navy SEALs, in Benghazi.
FYI: I applaud the guys at Special Operations Speaks for taking a courageous stand on this issue and also for endorsing my book, Three Days In August, which chronicles the life and wrongful conviction of former Army Green Beret Sgt. 1st Class Kelly A. Stewart. To learn more about the book, read this post on the SOS Noble Warriors webpage.
Bob McCarty is the author of Three Days In August: A U.S. Army Special Forces Soldier's Fight For Military Justice, a nonfiction book that's available in paperback and ebook via most online booksellers, including Amazon.com. His second book, THE CLAPPER MEMO,
is set for release this fall was released May 2013.

Pros – Majority of employees are amazing, fun people.
Cons – Salaries are below standard, they will tell you upon hiring that they talk raises at 6months and 1year, this is a lie.
Overtime is insane, you will be staying weeknights and weekends unpaid for weeks to months at a time. Projects go way over schedule because the people in HQ have no experience in games. Rampant nepotism in Paris means the people you answer to and who micromanage your every move have no idea what they're doing. Expect projects to take twice as long as the projected date and for half the project time to be overtime.
HQ also has no creative vision and will shoot down any new ideas the team comes up with in favour carbon-copying whatever the competition just came up with. They also continually make changes with no consideration to dependencies or time lines. Expect entire design changes to happen a month before project end, and when you tell them the changes will require more time to implement they will pile on more changes while you're at it.
Management just does whatever Paris asks of them, they have no intention of defending their employees and continually pressure them into unpaid overtime.
Advice to Senior Management – Give your studios autonomy, it is obvious that Paris is incompetent in every way shape and form. The producers there seem to be under the impression that development teams perform some sort of black magic to create games and that design changes can be made in the blink of an eye. If you still can't let go just fire all your producers, they don't do anything of merit anyways.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Honoring parents is an enigmatic mitzvah. On one hand the Sages suggest that proper fulfillment is almost unattainable; on the other hand the Torah, in a place no less prominent than the Ten Commandments, teaches that this mitzvah holds the key to long life in this world and the next.
Most people simply follow their instincts and emotions in trying to fulfill a mitzvah that, in reality, is replete with halachic detail. There is a constant need for knowledge, analysis, and guidance. This book provides it. It deals with realistic questions, and handles them authoritatively and sensitively.
This book includes many previously unpublished rulings of HaGaon Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elashiv shlita.
Rabbi Moshe M. Lieber is the author of the The Pirkei Avos Treasury, Simchas Torah and The Pesach Haggadah Anthology. In the Fifth Commandment, he displays another dimension of his scholarship. In addition to the halachic exposition of the commandment to render honor to ones parents, this work includes philosophical perspectives on the commandment and a sampling of inspirational stories on the subject. The Fifth Commandment is a broad canvas, encompassing all the hues and shades of this fundamental key to life.

Sid "The Rock" Ellis was at the Alma Powell Branch on Tuesday, February 22 and he was phenomenal! Everyone enjoyed his storytelling and puppetry. His puppet show enthralled the kids. And young and old were entertained by his Anansi folktales. The Anansi, the spider, folktales originated in West Africa. Anansi is a rascally spider that is devious and wise. He spends his time weaving ways to get out of work or take advantage of something or someone. These ancestral tales go way back and are still shared around the campfire.
Thanks, Sid, for sharing your time and outstanding talent with us.

Hang on a second while we grab that post for you.
Artist & Lecturer
When I first set out, my investigation was of the city I experience everyday. I considered my own and others' relationships to it, I explored what external factors dictated and altered that movement. Architecture being one, it can limit where we walk, so we have to adapt and invent other ways as Michel de Certeau suggested this improvisation of walking privileges, even transforms and abandons spatial elements for us.
I increasingly found myself not thinking about reality but imagining a space in my mind, beyond body or matter. A real that is not quite real, or an actual real but a real whose reality is virtual and therefore imaginary. One that is not constrained by our reality, potentially, our will, and our desire is what governs this space, our only limitation being our imagination.

Publicity stunts aren't enough
Last year at this time, New Britain Schools Superintendent Kelt L. Cooper was proposing a city ordinance to fine students $75 for truancy, as nearly half of the city's high school students were chronically skipping school. Now the superintendent is planning to suspend students for a week or two for using foul language to teachers or not keeping their pants up, the slob culture's high style being to wear pants well below the waist.
To publicize the new policy on cleaner language, the other day the superintendent and 100 teachers posed for photographs as they held up bars of soap.

What do you get if you combine John Locke from "Lost," the Marlboro Man, and a judo master?
Your first guess may not be Russian President Vladimir Putin, but if these pictures are any guide, it would certainly be the right one. (See video profile).
|Dmitry Astakhov / AFP - Getty Images
|Russian President Vladimir Putin fishes on the Khemchik River on Aug. 15.
Taken earlier this week when Putin took Monaco's Prince Albert II on a camping trip in southern Russia, they were splashed across the front pages of Russian newspapers and are all posted on the Kremlin's website.
They show Putin in various states of ruggedness, feeling at home and at peace with the rivers, the mountains, the horses and fish, and not least of all, his own bare chest.
Poster boy for Russia?
Despite some incredulous reactions to Putin allowing himself to be photographed topless on blogs I've read here in Russia, "Wilderness Putin," (the action figure doll does not exist yet, but keep your eyes peeled) has been getting a lot of thumbs up here as well. Many bloggers are calling him sexy and wondering if he's free for a date.
While his wife may not take kindly to the proposition, the reactions should come as no surprise. Like any good politician, part of Putin's popularity is based on his image. Compared to the Russian and Soviet leaders who came before him, Putin is leading the charge for the young and healthy generation.
At the end of the Soviet era, it was hard to keep up with which 70-year-old, visibly sick leader was in charge. After Leonid Brezhnev died, neither of the next two successors lasted more than 15 months before dying – leading to the joke of a guard demanding to see someone's ticket to be allowed in to a Soviet leader's funeral, to which he responds that he has season tickets.
|Dmitry Astakhov / AFP - Getty Images
|Putin gestures as he takes a break during a hike in the foothills of the Western Sayan Mountains in the Republic of Tuva, on Aug. 15.
But in many ways, Putin's image is seen in direct contrast to that of his immediate predecessor, Boris Yeltsin. Putin is seen as the anti-Yeltsin. Yeltsin is remembered by many for acting like a buffoon in public, for his alleged heavy drinking and recurring illnesses.
The image of the leader is tied to the times. For many, these memories of Yeltsin are memories of a weak, chaotic Russia that may look amusing to the West, but isn't faring too well at home.
|VIDEO: Today Show anchors check out the Putin pix
Along comes Vladimir Putin. The black-belt-in-judo, non-smoking, rarely-drinking, cool and collected leader. While his popularity is certainly tied to his image – leading to everything from Putinka brand vodka to the girl-band pop song "Like Putin" (whose singers look for a man who is "like Putin/full of strength/like Putin/who won't drink) – Putin's image is, in turn, mirrored by his era.
This is an era in which Russia is getting stronger, reasserting itself internationally, becoming more stable at home and growing economically. And if it's the image of a shirtless, machete-wielding president which best represents the man who can do all that and enjoy approval ratings at about 70 percent, maybe it's not such a bad thing.

Since the 95-gallon recycling bins were issued this month, some residents have asked city officials to take them back, others have had questions about collection times and a few residents have become confused about which items they can leave in the large recycling cans. Some of the confusion came because the flyers that were attached to the bins included conflicting information and some confusion came because some people never spotted the informational flyers that were supposed to be issued with the recycling cans, city employees said.
"I've had a lot of people call in and say there was nothing on their carts," said Mary Crook, a receptionist at city hall.
Crook said in the past two weeks she has fielded several phone calls from residents who were confused or frustrated about the change, and the city has been trying to get information from the waste management company for residents.
"There is a little confusion but we're just trying to work through it," Wilson said.
For the past several years Jacksonville residents have received handheld recycling bins that were collected weekly at the curbside, but earlier this month waste management company Republic Services began work on a plan to change that. This summer Jacksonville residents received larger 95-gallon recycling cans, which look like trash cans with green lids. They were disbursed to residents throughout the city and now the recyclable goods will be collected every-other week on Wednesdays.
The company divided the city into two routes. Those who live south of Francis Street should roll their recycling cart to the curb to be collected this Wednesday by 7 a.m. and every other Wednesday that follows. Those dates are Aug. 14 and Aug. 28.
While those who live north of Francis Street should wait until Wednesday, August 7, to roll their new recycling bins to the curb. They too should continue rolling their recycling cans to the curb every other Wednesday after their first collection date. Those dates are Aug. 21 and Sept. 4.
The company also continues to collect plastics, paper, small cardboard boxes and all the other items it previously collected, city officials who spoke with the company said Monday.

"Run free, majestic beast!" a part of me thought.
"Is it even supposed to be here?" was my other thought.
This whole wild horse thing is a very muddled and sticky issue. I feel very conflicted about it, as many people do, since there are a variety of factors at play. On the one hand, in true American fashion, I see the beauty and history of horses and agree that they are a part of our past worth protecting. They played a large role in many aspects of our country's development and, as a result, are part of its mythology — not to mention that all animals should be protected from cruelty. Who doesn't have a soft spot for Silver, Black Stallion, Seabiscuit, Mr. Ed and the like? OK, maybe we let our emotions get a little too swayed by movies and TV, but a loyal animal of any kind earns our love and admiration.
The opening of the federal Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burros Act of 1971 reads: "Congress finds and declares that wild free-roaming horses and burros are living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West; that they contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people; and that these horses and burros are fast disappearing from the American scene. It is the policy of Congress that wild free-roaming horses and burros shall be protected from capture, branding, harassment, or death; and to accomplish this they are to be considered in the area where presently found, as an integral part of the natural system of the public lands."
Even our elected officials get all choked up at the thought of horses, and we all know that the folks in Washington only make informed, unbiased decisions when they pass laws.
But then I go back to the second question I asked myself when I saw that horse near Pyramid Lake. That question was not just about that individual animal, it was about the species as a whole in the American wilderness. We learn in school that Europeans brought horses to America, but there is debate about that between folks who want to protect the wild horses and those who want their populations controlled or eradicated. Lawyers and animal experts on each side argue their subsidized side of the argument. According to the Bureau of Land Management, the horses are not natural to this area. This is from the agency's web page on wild horses.
"Myth #11: Wild horses are native to the United States.
"Fact: This claim is false. The disappearance of the horse from the Western Hemisphere for 10,000 years supports the position that today's American wild horses should not be considered "native." American wild horses are descended from domestic horses, some of which were brought over by European explorers in the late 15th and 16th centuries, plus others that were released or escaped captivity in modern times. Over this 500-year period, these horses (and burros) have adapted successfully to the Western range. Regardless of the debate over whether these animals are native or non-native, the BLM manages horses and burros on public lands according to the provisions of the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, which describes the animals as 'wild' rather than feral."
On the other side, there is argument that horses were here millions of years ago so they do have the "right" to be here. A case is being heard in federal court about it.
"The American Mustang is a native wildlife species; few people realize that the western United States is actually the evolutionary birthplace of the horse," said Rachel Fazio, attorney for a horse advocacy group, in a Feb. 24 article on the In Defense of Animals website. "This suit seeks to ensure that, in accordance with the laws of Congress, this majestic species is protected as wild and free-roaming, safe from illegal interference by the Bureau of Land Management and immune to the pressures of the livestock industry and other commercial interests that wish to exploit our public lands."
Animal activists are a pretty intense bunch. If I were as excitable as they are, I might be one myself since my heart melts at a little four-legged affection. But I can be pragmatic, too, which is why I can't work on animal issues. I could never work at a shelter for dogs and cats just like I could never work with wild horses because I'd either bring them all home or I'd be miserable each day knowing they had no place to go.
The reality is that humans have created some appalling situations when it comes to animal overpopulation. Whether horses were here eons ago or not, the fact is we have to deal with them here now, both their ability to survive on their own and the effect of their presence on land owners. No animal should be made to physically suffer, but if they have to be put to sleep or slaughtered because humans before us created a situation that we can't control now, so be it. It's not fun and it's not pretty and I'm glad I don't have to do it, but maybe it will teach us to change our ways so the problem eventually disappears. I won't count on it, but maybe.
Now, if you'll excuse me, my girlfriend and I rented the movie "War Horse."

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Burepolom (Import)4/19/14
POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (P.T.S.D.) has a unique sound made by introspective melodies, impressive vocals and music from a world of sadness. Imagine a massive wall of sound enriched by great melodies and sad atmospheres, a sort of bastard son of Alternative Rock, Crossover Metal and Death-core. In "Burepolom" you can find vibes of Alice In Chains, Deftones, Korn, Katatonia, Linkin Park and many more... but the music is always composed and thought without cliche and full of originality, with great rhythmic structures, energetic riffing and incredible vocals.

Let's be honest, everyone: a big reason why you tune in to the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards every year is to see your favorite celebrities get doused in gooey green stuff. Don't be ashamed to admit it--we do it, too! Ever since the awards show's inception in 1988, stars have been getting sprayed, splashed, and drenched in slime. And while the show runners insist that "sliming is an honor," it doesn't mean that every person relishes the honor.
Take for example Katy Perry. The "Firework" singer got blasted so hard by pressurized slime in 2010 that she got knocked down on stage. It's since been called "the most talked-about sliming of all time." She took the whole thing in stride and laughed it off on stage with co-presenter Jonah Hill, but off-stage and wrapped in a fluffy robe, she looked a little distressed. We can't imagine that the mystery substance is too easy to get out of blue hair, and we're really hoping that the dry cleaner was able to save that sunny yellow dress of hers. She's nominated this year for Favorite Female Singer, and we'd be lying if we said we weren't hoping for another iconic slime moment from her. It's time, Katy!
Before she was a high-flying aerialist performer, P!nk was the type of girl who performed in newsboy caps and hoodies (she's come a long way, people). In 2002, the singer got the party started and a surprise custom slime treatment in her signature shade. The magenta shower might have caught her off guard, but luckily she went on to win two awards that night--"Get the Party Started" won for Favorite Song and she took home the KCA blimp for Favorite Female Singer--the perfect consolation prize.
2012's host Will Smith is no stranger to getting the slime treatment. Smith has won the most KCA blimps in history (with a total of ten), and was first introduced to the tradition in 2000. We're guessing it was because of his previous experiences with the green gunk that he used that year's Favorite Male Singer award-winner Justin Bieber as a human shield at the end of the show. But in the end, he and the tween heartthrob both got completely drenched. You can run but there's no hiding from the slime.
Not everyone fears the slime. In 2007, host Justin Timberlake embraced the chaos and got in to a slime-spray fight with Vince Vaughn. We have to say, if we ever had to get slimed (for whatever reason), we'd choose this scenario--it looks like fun and Justin Timberlake is involved. Sounds like a win-win!
Who do you hope gets slimed this year?

When the real thing arrives, will it be as good as the YouTube versions?
If reality catches up with rumor, Steve Jobs will give one of the great demos of his life next Wednesday at Apple's (AAPL) invitation-only "latest creation" event in San Francisco.
But you don't have to wait until Jan. 27 to get a taste of what he might be showing.
For months, Apple has been secretly meeting with developers, advertisers and publishers about its forthcoming tablet computer. And although it's likely that nobody outside of Cupertino has actually seen the thing, there are concept videos all over the Web.
We've collected three of the best below the fold:
|Pope Francis challenges the free market - The Buzz
|Stocks: It's report card time on Wall Street
|Americans have fallen in love with real estate once again
|5 people you might not tip (but should)

Mastodon http://mov10k.com/
http://mov10k.com/ Help one's body to reduce kilos by just opening up your stored extra fat pertaining to vitality nevertheless there is small offered electricity by means of blood sugar because of this form of diet plan.
These types of fat loss programs manage to develop quick weight loss, lots of people begin using these types of diet plans. However, this weight-loss, that is mainly muscles and also normal water as a result of cutting calories from fat, incorporates a amount of significant unwanted side effects, one of which is a new damage associated with vitamins. One of the mineral deposits which are typically consumed is really calcium supplements, which in turn obviously brings about cuboid destruction, deterioration regarding our bones, renal rocks, and much more.
They have got a short time ago identification over the past years, the issue as well as low carbs selections is that they are extremely rigorous in addition to too difficult to check out for your person with average skills. Low carbohydrate options typically deprive your body involving a lot of strength making this difficult to stay with this technique for days on end.
The complete notion at the rear of carb backloading is usually to find minimal carbs in the daytime and then team about carbohydrate food during the night time. At times, carbohydrate backloading originator Jesse Kiefer also suggests acquiring those carbohydrate food in one dinner. Actually is well liked implies that you're going minimal carbo around ten days right before placing cabohydrate supply back your specific diet.
Men which are weighty, comparable to My partner and i mentioned prior to, bug action . easy way get some good fat loss going. Males who will be at this point relatively reduced excess fat proportion, though, this could actually lead to dropping in which dimensions it's likely you have worked well so faithfully with regards to. I could quickly notice fellas shaping aside just before 10 days are generally up wards.
In case you want to supply carbo backloading a shot, it in all probability will not damage you together with it could possibly help someone, no less than at any given time. Nevertheless, I think getting the carbohydrate food smartly plus creating your cabohydrate supply is really a far better insurance policy for nearly all guys when compared with carbohydrate food backloading.

Takin' the Blog for a Walk
Join Waukesha resident Brien Lee and his blog, Sir Fido, as they explore the city and report on the interesting things they find.
Email Brien at email@example.com.
You too can be a Friend of the Poor
I'm not the only one who thinks the annual St. Vincent de Paul Friends of the Poor Walk should be renamed The Roy Thater Memorial Walk for the Poor. Not only was Roy known to put on many miles walking the neighborhoods, to church and Christina's, but there's nothing Roy wouldn't have done for the poor, or for any neighbor for that matter. Roy was a huge inspiration with his dedication to the poor through volunteering at the St. Vincent store and his many years of service to the needy through the St. William conference of St. Vincent.
I blogged here after visiting Roy at the hospice in Dec. '09. With health failing due to cancer; his wife having recently passed; and doing everything he could to be helpful in this life, the end for him came very naturally and comfortably. What I didn't mention in the blog is his gift to St. Vincent de Paul upon his death. Even in death Roy was a friend of the poor.
untitled, part I
Titles are often the hardest part. It doesn't help when the one I want to use is taken. I was going to call this one blogstipation to reflect the two weeks I haven't written but someone had already thought of it first. I've been busy with work and play and regret not blogging more frequently, mainly because now there's almost too much to write about.
untitled, part II
Several news items caught my eye last week. The series is over now, but I thoroughly enjoyed John Schoenknecht's Freeman columns on the County Fair. I especially enjoyed reading about ballooning at the fair and had no idea it went as far back as 1880!
Last Tuesday I could smell burning wood outside work. Some coworkers were talking about the smell coming from Minnesota. No way! It was verified to be coming from northern MN and I could hardly believe it. No idea you could smell something from 400 miles away.
Another Apple Fest Has Fallen From The Tree
Retzer Nature Center's annual Apple Harvest Festival was last Saturday. I've previously always mentioned it ahead of time to let readers know about it but didn't this year. That's how busy I've been. Fourteen hours of overtime last week with a chance to work Saturday too, but I was previously committed.
I showed up at the Retzer's cider stand to take up my position at 8:30 in the morning even though the fest didn't start until 9:00. Cider sales captures people as they're leaving the fest and they haven't even arrived yet. Two other people were there with me with three more scheduled in two hours. I checked with Holly to see if they could use me somewhere else. I checked at apple pie sales. Nope. The food tent. Sorry. I passed up working to not work?
Les Talk, More Music
Sue Baker's letter to the Freeman after Les' memorial dedication reminded me that there is a really great website for the Les Paul Foundation on which she serves. My first thought was "hey, the Les Paul Google Doodle is still available," and I started playing with that. In preparation for this post I took another look at the site and "hey, the entire dedication is on video!" If you have any interest at all you should take a peek.
Back on June 9th I blogged about the Google Doodle for Les' 96th birthday. Since then I've seen a lot of creative things done with it on YouTube. At first I thought you had to use just the mouse, but it's far easier to use the keyboard. Many of the Google Doodle YouTube videos show the key combinations in the comment section so you can play it yourself. You have to push the record button to start using the keyboard. The recording will soon stop, but you can keep playing. One of the easiest and recognizable tunes I've found with instructions is Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. Have a listen. You have to watch it on YouTube to see the comments with key combination.
Feathered Festival Free
Coinciding with the current Owen Gromme exhibit at the Waukesha County Historical Society and Museum is a day of feather-centered events tomorrow, Saturday. Lots of fun for everyone, including live birds of prey. Since Saturday is also Smithsonian magazine museum day you can also get in for free by printing the ticket found through their website.
I hope to see you there. I'd love to see the Gromme exhibit and the exciting new things happening at the museum.
"Museum Man" makes rare appearance at Waukesha County Museum
Thoroughly enjoyed Waukesha County Museum's Owen Gromme exhibit. I learned a lot from reading the labels at each painting and artifact. Some were funny stories behind the subject of the art or the reason for the painting, while others told how they were done or, like color studies, why they were done.
As a counter in the Midwest Annual Crane Count myself, I was surprised to learn Gromme was an early benefactor and board member of the International Crane Foundation and sandhill cranes one of his favorite subjects.
An Affordable Smoke
Sadly, some things are soon coming to an end. Did you have a good summer? I had a good time working and playing hard. I'm ready for yet another wet fall and long, cold, dark winter. Change is good.
One of the best reasons for looking forward to the weekend, the eight free outdoor stages of Freeman Friday Night Live, ends for the season with this coming Friday the 30th. Some businesses will continue live entertainment indoors, but it's just not the same. FFNL was blessed with good weather most of the summer. Street closing went a long way to bring more people downtown, especially families with young children.
Local Walk for the Poor Makes Big Splash
At first I debated even putting up the canopy. The sky looked great out to the west from which we get most of our weather. After we finally erected the canopy over the tables of food the dark sky to the east continued to spread out in our direction, but I remained optimistic. We even took time to do lots of chalk drawings on the pavement, figuring they'd probably be there a while.
Scattered showers were predicted for the weekend. Ours wasn't the only walk held on Saturday, but naturally the showers would miss ours. Just a quick two mile hike. How long could that take?

The Compassionate Side of Corporate Entrepreneurship

Given the Bay Area's penchant for start-ups, I'm surprised that so many professionals...
Feast or Famine? Downpour or Drought?

When you are self-employed, the phrase feast or famine is common place. Since I have been self-employed longer than most people are employed, I have heard it a lot. Along with feast and famine comes downpour or drought, nothing or almost too much. For the employed, it may feel the same way — too many work projects, swimming in paperwork, or overwhelmed with details or e-mails. And if you should go from employed to...
