Feb 11, 2013Everything Everything have their cake and they're eating it too--Arc proves that they can keep their zany shade of indie and still be taken very seriously.
Jan 9, 2013Arc is an album with which deep engagement will reward and delight in equal measure.
Q MagazineJan 24, 2013Arc is a missive from the heart as well as the head. [Feb 2013, p.100]
Jan 17, 2013The way that Everything Everything play against the macho, aggressive posturing of contemporaries who could care less about caring should be their strongest calling card.
Jan 18, 2013It feels churlish to criticise Everything Everything for trying different things, but all too often their efforts feel like lightweight flirtations with a style rather than committed explorations.

This is ultimately a winning move as Arc is much more coherent, layered and heartfelt than it's predecessor, with catchy tunes and jaunty hi-jinx in equal measure. Arc is a rewarding listen that is worth persevering with, and is ultimately a welcome progression for a band who show no signs of ever being boring.… Expand

Man Alive is one of my favorite albums of all time, with every song a joy to listen too, and being highly memorable. How does Arc hold up against Man Alive? Quite well, actually, though I still have to listen to it a few more times before I become really attached to the album, but I am sure Arc will be compulsively listenable after a while. Music is different to other media in quite a big way; with movies you watch it once or twice before formulating an opinion on it, with games you can play it once to formulate an opinion and play it again to justify that opinion, and with books you only really need to read it once since there inherently is more attention to detail in books that most other media. But with music, you need to become familiar with the piece, you need to know when it picks up the pace and when it climaxes, as songs are only up to 5 minutes long, unlike 2 hour movies and even 30 hour games. Everything Everything perfects this craft, being completely foreign the first time you listen to it, but being compulsively listenable thereafter. It's incredible how they pull it off, how strange and different their style is, so you never tire of it like you would any other song. They do something different every 16 bars, and I guess that's why it's hard to get sick of it. It's excellent how they pull it off, and I would recommend this album to any fan of Electronica, Indie or Alternative Rock. 'Cough Cough' and 'The House is Dust' are my two personal favorites.… Expand

Jan 16, 2013Everything Everything's first album "Man Alive" was easily my favorite album of all time. They exhibited a quirkiness that few bands everEverything Everything's first album "Man Alive" was easily my favorite album of all time. They exhibited a quirkiness that few bands ever attempt (and even fewer pull off), but at the same time, they showed a masterful attention to detail that gave the listeners something unique at the very least and downright enjoyable for many. It was a fresh approach to the some times stale and off putting genre of alt rock that we hear all too often.
With "Arc", the band's second foray into music-dom, I'm left scratching my head. The album feels like it's made up of two parts; the part before the track "_Arc_" and everything after. The first half feels like a combination of pop riffs and musical styles that can only be described as pseudo-mainstream. The good news is that I can still hear the original and quirky Everything Everything sound, but the structure of each song has taken a decided turn towards Alt rock. While I don't think this is a bad thing (and it is necessary if they want to make themselves more appealing to the masses), this isn't the Everything Everything that I fell in love with on "Man Alive" with tracks such as "MY KZ, UR BF" or "Photoshop Handsome". I can't help but feel a track like "Feet For Hands" would feel right at home on a MUSE album, or perhaps "Duet" feels a little bit like they took a note out of Coldplay's song dictionary. The first half of the album is a nod towards the more popular end of the genre, and while it does feel necessary, that doesn't mean I have to like it.
The second half of the album is a turn around, though. "Armourland" takes Everything Everything back to their roots with a disjointed set of riffs tied together with a beautiful chorus line and accompanied by Jonathan's haunting electric keyboard-synth. "The House is Dust" has a very mid-2000's Radiohead feel, which is great in my book; creating a sound that is similar to a band that walks the fine line of mainstream and indie that has made it big is not a bad thing at all. The album wraps up with a joyous jaunt in the form of "Don't Try", which again almost feels like a combination of the first and second halves of the album; it's a decided nod towards the pop end of the spectrum (I can name 4 different bands that probably influenced this song), but it's still uniquely Everything Everything. It's also a lot of fun to listen to.
I maintain that their first album, "Man Alive" is still my favorite album of all time. Everything Everything took a risk with it and still managed to pull off a style that is very unique. It felt like very few parts of that album took ques from other artists; the sound was all new and fresh. Their second adventure "Arc" feels like Everything Everything is making a bid towards the pop-end of the spectrum. The fortunate part is that it feels like they were largely successful... but in the process they lost some of the charm that made them unique. It's a good album, it really is. However, I still like the first one better.

Man Alive started by 2010's off on a very high note from the start, so my expectations were through the roof with this one. However, when I finally got my hands on Arc, I popped it in and had to force myself through the album, hoping for that one track that redeemed the rest...it never happened. I completely realize that a band's second album is a chance to branch out and try to further explore their style, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the tracks on Arc did the exact opposite. On Man Alive, there were so many wonderful melodies, rich harmonies, slick grooves that sucked you into each song, and just overall very good musicianship. On Arc, it felt like all of that creative energy sucked inward and was kept so subtle and hidden that it was barely recognizable. There were times I felt like I was just listening to some run-of-the-mill pop band, and that did not make me happy. The lyrics had some depth, I'll give it that, but the instrumentation wasn't there to complement or back it up. Not even close. Overprocessed, too many effects, Jonathan stuck in his falsetto for so long that it lost its appeal, there were none of those oh-so-special basslines that got my jollies off before, nothing special that popped out and grabbed me by the ears and wouldn't let go until I absolutely loved it, and there was no pick-me-up from the long, mid-tempo dirge that the album became by the last track. I felt like they took everything (everything) that made their debut album great, and chucked it out the window. Perhaps it was due to the lack of Alex Niven's influence via his understanding of what makes good music, maybe it was something else, but where the first album had everything, this second album lacks everything. It makes me sad.… Expand

The State of Digital Music in 2006 127
wh0pper writes "Designtechnica has an excellent article on the state of digital music in 2006. Digital music accounted for only six percent of total music sales in 2005. Yet even that is a massive increase over the year before, a whopping 194 percent, which is fiscally valuable as the sales of CDs continue to decrease (although even with digital sales, the record labels experienced another downturn in 2005). While the young, usually the first to adopt and adapt to new technology, have been downloading and swapping music for quite some time, there's been a ripple effect into the older, warier area of the population, one that will only increase. Thank--or blame--Apple and its iPod, or any of the many other makes selling like hotcakes in the stores.

11.7: Geologic Time Scale
To infinity and beyond!
We can picture deep space, but what does deep time look like? If you divided up the 4.6 billion years of Earth history into one calendar year, as is done at the end of this lesson, you might get an idea.
The Geologic Time Scale
To be able to discuss Earth history, scientists needed some way to refer to the time periods in which events happened and organisms lived. With the information they collected from fossil evidence and using Steno's principles, they created a listing of rock layers from oldest to youngest. Then they divided Earth's history into blocks of time with each block separated by important events, such as the disappearance of a species of fossil from the rock record. Since many of the scientists who first assigned names to times in Earth's history were from Europe, they named the blocks of time from towns or other local places where the rock layers that represented that time were found.
From these blocks of time the scientists created the geologic time scale (Figure below). In the geologic time scale the youngest ages are on the top and the oldest on the bottom. Why do you think that the more recent time periods are divided more finely? Do you think the divisions in the scale below are proportional to the amount of time each time period represented in Earth history?
The geologic time scale is based on relative ages. No actual ages were placed on the original time scale.
In what eon, era, period and epoch do we now live? We live in the Holocene (sometimes called Recent) epoch, Quaternary period, Cenozoic era, and Phanerozoic eon.
Geologic Time Condensed to One Year
It's always fun to think about geologic time in a framework that we can more readily understand. Here are when some major events in Earth history would have occurred if all of earth history was condensed down to one calendar year.
January 1 12 am: Earth forms from the planetary nebula – 4600 million years ago
February 25, 12:30 pm: The origin of life; the first cells – 3900 million years ago
March 4, 3:39 pm: Oldest dated rocks – 3800 million years ago
March 20, 1:33 pm: First stromatolite fossils – 3600 million years ago
July 17, 9:54 pm: first fossil evidence of cells with nuclei – 2100 million years ago

|Our Environment We are stewards of wild places
|Topic Review (Newest First)
NF Stilly Needs your HELP!
As was mentioned at the last WSC general meeting by Brian Simonseth the Stillaguamish Implementation Review Committee (SIRC) is trying to get the money they need to from the state to by pass the Steelhead Heaven Slide. We need to get our letter writing going on this. Below is an sample letter that you can use. Just put your senator or representative's name in and your name and address at the bottom. thank you JJ
Dear <Representative or Senator>,
I am writing to urge you to support and insure that matching funds from the Washington State Ecology's Centennial Grant or Salmon Recover Funding Board are provided this year for the Restoration of the Hazel/Steelhead Haven slide on the North Fork of the Stillagaumish.
This single expenditure of money would provide a
dramatic reduction of silt and clay from a manmade
exasperated slide that has in filled spawning beds and pools through out the river down to the clam beds in the estuary. These matching sources would finalize the engineering, design and construction of a log jam that would alter the course of the river for the fish and wildlife populations and bring this stream closer to its pristine pre-disturbance state. Currently the Salmon Recovery Funding Board does not fund engineered
log jams and therefore any influence that you can
provide to change this would be greatly appreciated.
The NF of the Stilly has been written up by Zane Grey for its famed wild Deer Creek steelhead and was one of the first in the nation to go fly fishing only and ultimately to a catch and release for native fish. To further strengthen the arena, the WRIA 5 Watershed is fortunate to have the synergy of an organized local group called Stillaguamish Implementation Review Committee (SIRC) from all relevant Federal, State,
local and tribal agencies plus the actual
stakeholders made up of Federation of Fly Fishers,
stakeholder landowners and environmentalists . SIRC has been involved in the Army Corps of Engineers Ecosystems restoration project since the late 1990s. The Hazel/Steelhead Haven slide project has been identified as the key project necessary for a successful ecosystems restoration strategy. The money was authorized through congress to address these projects in that strategy, but the monies have yet to be appropriated for the Hazel/Steelhead Haven slide.
The key to accessing that money is to assure that we can secure local funding to match the federal monies!
We hope you will support our efforts in the state
legislature to restore this once world renowned fly fishing river back to its one time inspirational character of deep clear pools full of wild fish. The future economic sustainability will only be hardened through the investments we make today reducing the sediment problems in the Stillaguamish.

By Liliana Moyano for Shine LatinaThe best thing about croquetas, a staple food of several Latin countries, is that they can be made out of almost anything.
Croquetas de yuca
Last week I had some boiled yucca leftovers from a family barbeque. I found table cream and some shredded mozzarella cheese in the fridge, so I knew I was golden.
I mashed the yucca, mixed it with the cheese and cream, and came up with the most-delicious pan-fried yucca croquettes. I could've had a whole new party and used them as appetizers!...Read More »
- Charleen Gonzalez, Shine Latina | Beauty | Wed, Oct 16, 2013 1:06 PM EDT | CommentsSome brands claim their products will make you look like a million bucks, but you might spend about that much in the process. Some products, I feel, are worth the splurge -- like good mascara and foundation -- but you'll have to be the judge of some of the more-expensive stuff out there.
The average mascara costs about $10, but some of the high-end alternatives can go upward of $70. But that is relatively cheap compared to a face moisturizer that goes for $1,900!

By Liliana Moyano for Shine LatinaEven if deviled eggs are your favorite dish, having to peel so many hard-boiled eggs perfectly might make preparing deviled eggs your least-favorite cooking task.
Latin deviled eggs with cilantro and jalapeno
My trick is to remove the eggs from the fridge and leave them out at room temperature before placing them in boiling water. To avoid cracking the shells, lower them into the pot with a spoon.
For an important gathering recently, I spiced up a traditional recipe that I loved: I used table cream, mustard, mayo and cilantro to the egg mix and topped the yellow filling with minced jalapeno, for a little kick. Try my new recipe below:...Read More »

|Great Lakes Steelhead & Salmon Amazing "Inland ocean" fisheries
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks to all for your advice.
|paul yochim
Breathable waders
Smolt: I live in Minnesota, so I am no stranger to cold weather. I usually begin my fishing in the beginning of March. I have the Orvis Silver Label Breathable waderswiht the neoprene feet. My previous pair did not have the neoprene feet, and they were worthless in cold weather. I start with a pair of Patagonia Capilene long underwear. Over these I wear a pair of thich fleece pants. Smartwools on the feet. They are a great sock. Unlike others, they last forever. Wigwam makes some that are close. The neoprenes actually work against me because I sweat in them. On top, I wear the same combo with a breathable wading jacket over it. Lands End makes some very nice fleece tops at a very reasonable price. A warm hat is also a must as you lose a lot of heat through your head. Columbia makes a nice fingerless glove with a mitten cover. I hope this helps you stay warm. PDY
I like the RCMP style beaver fur hat. You stay warm all day in that baby. Also a gaitor versus a scarf. Never found much use for wool once polar fleece came out. Not as itchy.
For boots simms cleated guides summer winter spring and fall.
A hood is mandatory.
I swear by Patagonia Capilene underwear. get the turtle neck top with zipper.
Also have som Marmot underwear which is good. If its good for the skiers its good for us cold weather waders.
Over the underwear a rag wool sweater, then a fleece pulover, then the insutlate wind breaker jacket with hood
Don't forget some Hand warmers which will last 7-8 hours.
Some Yaktrax or other strap on cleat for walking through the snow and getting traction on ice.
Two sets of rag wool or fleece fingerless gloves.
Lots to consider for winter fishing in addition to the rod, reel, and fish.
Also be very careful do not take the wading and trail climbing risks you do when it is warm and there is no snow or ice around.
PM Out
|I have been very impressed with the windstopper fleece jackets. I have used them at work( I work outdoors year round ) , and while fishing ,3d shoots, etc in the winter.A hood of some sort is essential, as it provides incredible warmth on cold days.
In air and water temps a few degrees above freezing:
- breathables
- oversized studded boots
- capeline sock system
- polypropelene undies
- lined ski pants or quick dry light pants
- gortex jacket
- kangaroo
- heavy shirt
- t shirt or polypropelene undershirt
- fingerless neoprene gloves if necessary
- Filson waterproof fedora
(this is what I'm wearing in my Avatar)
When air temps are at freezing or below and water temps are near freezing:
- all of the above except
- 5mm neoprenes instead of breathabes
- an extra sweater or polypropelene undershirt
- baseball cap worn under the hood
Good catch studs are a must gotta have.
Get the wader boots with the studs built in. I have a great pair from a Montana co. that also makes waders.
Footwear can be as important as the clothing!!! The bottoms are most important!
If there still is snow on the ground, or shelf-ice in the streams, AVOID FELT SOLED WADING SHOES OR BOOTS.
Studded rubber soles are best, or plain cleated rubber.
The problem with felt is it is slicker than grease on snow and ice, and you can take a spill. In addition, any walking you do on the shore will build up ice and snow, and you'll be 8 feet tall in short order! Even with studded felt!
There are a variety of strap-on "cleats" that are great in respect to the materials used, but the straps can be a real pain, and usually slip and partially come loose at the worst possible moment.
skiing...in waders
All good points above.
I fish year round here in MA and it can get pretty chilly. My setup:
Socks: Polypro liner socks, thin merino wool socks, and then 100 weght fleece socks. I have found that if I take the insole out of my wading boots, there is plenty of room for that setup.
I use breathables year-round so underneath I go with the following: Spandex polypro thermals under 300 wt fleece pants. An additional layer of wool long johns if neccessary.
Under the wading jacket I sport a polypro liner, wool sweater and then a heavy fleece jacket. I find that the combination of fleece and merino wool is less bulky and warmer than 2 layers of one or the other.
Heavy duty ski hat is key, along with some fleece fingerless gloves and those little handwarmer packets if it really gets bad.
I generally buy all of this stuff for skiing but it works great for foul-weather fishing too!
Get some capelline socks made by cant say name they arent sponsors
. also get their liners keeps your feet warm and dry all day pick up some of their silk weight long underwear too..
If you are a big guy hit a freeport maine outfitter and a nebraska one for fleece pants, shirts, and tops. Get a good goretex shell as the final layer and a warm hat. You will be warm and dry all day. dry is a key word here the drier you are the warmer you stay.
Basically what Juro stated above is good.
Do you have breatheable waders which are large enough to wear the long underwear and fleece pants/bib ?
Thats what I am using now and I like it better than the neopremes.
Get some Smartwool socks and liners.
Galyans has some decent stuff but I think the best in our area is probably Bass Pro Shop in Gurnee. Their hunting waterfowl gear is awesome and is the same stuff we need for cold weather GLs fishing.
Thats up your way check it out.
PM Out
P.S. In April the water temp will be in the high 30s low 40s and air temps 40-50s. Could be 30-40 air temps though to.
I wear polypro long undies, then fleece, then neoprene for super cold rivers and breathables for everything else. You can beef up the fleece and go breathable or lighten up and go neoprene.
Socks that are designed for performance use (hiking, climbing, skiing) are important. I buy at outdoor equipment stores and pay the $10-15 / pair, so very worth it on a winter river. Formed to fit very nicely and padded in all the right places.
Shoes that are too tight are the worst thing for cold feet, choosing the right performance sock that is not too thick or layering with high quality materials is the key IMHO.
On top I swear by the Techwick medium weight zip-front longsleeve mockturtleneck pullover. It can be worn under a comfortable shirt & fleece jacket under an all-around shell like goretex. Freedom of movement, lightweight, cools quickly after walking opened up and keeps you toasty when zipped up.
You lose a lot of heat form your noggin, so a good headcover is critical. Gloves are a whole nuther topic too.
When it comes to performance clothing, it pays to buy high-end IMHO. It lasts a long time and it's easy to appreciate in the conditions it gets used in.
Dressing for Cold Weather Wading
I know this subject has been dealt with off and on a number of times, but thought it was appropriate given the fact that aa April Clave is being planned. So, what do you were when wading in cold weather?
Up until season before last, I always wore stocking-foot neoprenes. I have since bought a pair of breatheables, but have not yet tried them in cold weather. I just bought some additional capilene underwear and some new "Smartwool" socks.
What do you recommend for wearing under breatheable waders? If it is really cold, I would even consider wearing my stocking-foot neoprenes under a pair of lightweight boot-foot nylon waders. I did that once while wading in the Maine surf and it really worked well.
Anyway, I am interested in hearing what you all recommend.

"We've made this for years and like it best with ritz crackers! It is the perfect combination..graham crackers seem a little too sweet for us!"
"This dip is so yummy and easy to make. I especially love making it around the holidays."
"My kids and coworkers love this!"
"Love this recipe! Kids and adults all enjoy it. My Italian friends liken it to cannoli filling."
"My Grandkids Loved it ."
"My kids LOVE this! I don't make it often...once a year...because it's not the healthiest and because it's gone within seconds! :)"
"Yummy, yummy yummy!!! This takes seconds to throw together & everyone loves it. Even friends who barely know the purpose of a kitchen have asked for & made this recipe. Instead of graham crackers try pretzels for a perfect combination of flavors."
"I don't love this but don't dislike it either. But my daughter can't get enough of it!"
"This was delicious! I thought it tasted a lot like cheesecake. Good idea from another user to use apple slices with it."
"I made this for church fellowship before Sunday School. Doubled the recipe. Not a smidgeon was left and 4 people asked for the recipe. I did add a teaspoon of fresh squeezed lemon per batch."


text: Starting yesterday, TRU has a buy one get one free sale on all SW figures that runs through November 3. Hopefully this will move some of the slower stock - the ones I visited today were low on TVC but still had MH pegwarmers aplenty. I picked up six more TVC Battle Droids (bringing my total to 22), six Naboo Royal Guards (bringing my total to 12, I think) and two Shock Troopers (for a total of 4 of this version). I also got a free Titanium 3-pack for spending over $35 at one of the locations, which is only available through Monday. The sale only applies to figures, but it's a good time to build your armies and clear the junk off of the pegs all at once.

Repression and suppression=depression. Whether your depression is rooted in recent trauma, or has been a long term challenge, assessing how you feel, determining your triggers, and developing coping strategies with the help of a caring, experienced professional will make the difference in your quality of life. Combining psychotherapy and hypnosis is sometimes the key to changing the way that you look at life. I can help.

Depression is a real medical problem. Research has shown that depression is best treated with a combination of counseling and medical intervention. I will help you with Cognitive Behavior Therapy as well as work closely with your Primary Care Physician or refer you for a medication evaluation if we decide together that this is something that you would benefit from.

While external circumstances and biology definitely can affect our moods, so can our underlying beliefs about ourselves and our relationships. My goal is to teach people how to explore their feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Once we become more connected safely to ourselves, our connection with the external world begins to change too. We may also look at changing diet and exercise, find ways to balance work, play and rest so you can feel replenished and nurture what is meaningful in your life.

A common understanding is that depression is anger turned inward. I help the client understand the sources of their depression, both biological and environmental, and build on their strengths as well as build new sources of identity to cope with the depression. In this process I am helping them create a toolbox to survive difficult emotion and strengthen their core self. This might include mindfulness work, grief work, reframing their personal narratives, coaching around new life habits and activities, learning how to set small goals for themselves, and examining the typical roles they play in their relationships, including the examination of these typical roles for satisfaction.

Become a video game genius as developer XDev Studio Europe reveals some brilliant facts about the fiendish PlayStation Vita puzzler.
1. A puzzle a day...
Your Brain Power rating from the first Daily Training session will be shown on the world leader boards - but don't worry if it isn't as high as you'd like. Our leader boards are not reserved for elite players who spend hours racking up unbeatable scores, because in Smart As... you can post a score each day and have a chance to be the smartest player on the globe every time you do.
Don't forget that being smarter than your friends, smartest in your city, country and continent are all achievements to brag about, too.
2. Compete with all of your friends
Once you've uploaded your Brain Power score, go to the Friends leader board in the Who is Smarter section. Tap the Facebook icon to sync your mates' scores. This will check for any Facebook friends playing Smart As... who you have not connected with on PlayStation Network, and display their most current Brain Power score in your leader board.
Why not add them to your PSN Friends list at the same time? Or challenge them in the four brain-teasers at the Smart As... Facebook app at facebook.com to really test your wits? Smart As... aims to bring all of your pals together in one place so you can beat them all.
3. Useful charts
We got tired of seeing boring stats pages with no real reason for them being there and instead designed colourful, useful charts that help you analyse and compare past performances.
Does the time of day you play affect your score? Try it out for a few days and use the chart to see - maybe playing in the morning could net you a couple more Brain Power points?
4. Free Play your way to the top
If you're particularly gifted in a particular Free Play game, then check out the game specific leader board. Set the best time or score across any of the four difficulty levels for a chance to achieve worldwide glory. That's another 80 leader boards on top of the Brain Power ones - so everyone can be a winner.
5. Genius levels are not for the faint-hearted
In Smart As... the fourth and most fiendish difficulty level for all of the games is the Genius mode. Unlocked after scoring three stars in the other modes, this is truly where legends are born. Genius mode takes these puzzles, increases the difficulty and adds new rules and twists to make them even harder. If you can get high scores in Genius mode then make sure you shout all about it on Facebook.
6. What is Smarter makes for good Twitter posts
Struggling to fill the 140 characters in today's Twitter post? Then let Smart As... do it for you. The game collates the responses to the random questions asked before Daily Training and matches these with the current brain scores from around the world to provide you with interesting titbits to Tweet. Find out all sorts of interesting stuff and even settle age old scores...
7. Becoming Street Smart
Smart As... generates a challenge just for people in the nearby area you're playing to compete in. The ability to collect pictures of your travels while aiming to be the cleverest in as many cities as possible makes Street Smart mode one of the most addictive location based games out there.
You can also use the "near" app to leave challenges for people around you. Just select Free Play from the main menu, set a high score on any game and tap on the "near" radar screen to drop a challenge.
8. If John Cleese likes Logic games then what's stopping you?
Smart As... welcomes the wonder that is Mr John Cleese as its narrator. John is on hand to teach you the basics, show you around and sometimes comment on your performance in his own unique way. And just so you know, John's favourite game is Chain Reaction.
9. Support your town and country
During your quest to prove you're the smartest of your friends, family and colleagues, don't forget that national pride is also at stake. All scores are combined into their respective city, country and continent meaning your score is directly contributing to the combined score of those areas.
In Smart As. . . you'll swiftly discover if your home town is full of Einsteins or the type of people who still point at aeroplanes with wonder and dread.
10. The world is yours
In fact, the global competition has already begun. At E3 2012 and gamescom 2012 respectively, USA and Germany drew first blood and became the cleverest countries before Smart As... launched. The bar has been set for all other countries to step up and compete. Fancy a challenge?
Don't be a closet genius - show the entire world you're the smartest of them all with Smart As... now in-store and also available to download from PlayStation Store.

Seems to be all the rage with clubs starting up all over the country. Started in the Obama heartland, Washington State and now spreading faster than Seattle Grundge Music of the 90's. In fact, one of our senior posters from S Dak snapped a picture of a young lady riding her bike au natural in the Black Hills.
I never did like those skinny little bicycle seats so, I don't think this is a new sport that I'l be taking on anytime soon.
What's you take on this; fad or here to stay?
Should I be buying stock in Schwinn or Murray?

Regarding middle America, again you completely disregard demographics and the fact that you have families that have lived around places like Philly for multiple generations. They are brought up to have undying support to their local team not matter what ( ). They put their teams on some weird pedestal and can't believe that others don't do that. They forget that it is first and foremost a business, an entertainment business. Hey, maybe you're entertained by **** football. Maybe you enjoyed the past decade as much as you did the Marino years. But that's not the mentality you'll find everywhere else. That won't happen in a place like Miami. Ever. If a team loses it's support it's because it's been a **** ball of horrible football for a few years, in the case of our beloved Miami Dolphins, it's been over a decade. Won't work. The people they need to cater too and get into the stands aren't people that grew up on Dolphins football and they don't come from generations of Dolphins fans that grew up in the area and never left (I won't get into the demographics shift because I already did and it was disregarded).
So, save you're patronizing nonsense. I guarantee nobody there gives a **** about how disappointed you are in them. They won't support a perennial loser. Call it fairweather, call it fickle, call it whatever the hell you want; but the fact is that the Miami Dolphins and other sports teams are BUSINESSES. That requires knowing their market. People will only come to watch exciting football? Here's an idea, field exciting football! Introduce great football to the new generations of Miami(ans?). Make moves that will lead to a winning team. Sorry, but drafting a cornfed lineman over QB indicates that they clearly haven't known how to do that. Hopefully they're heading in the right direction, but until they do, expect to see the stands empty. Expect to continue being "disappointed" in the locals. The team isn't going anywhere. I have no doubt Ross knows exactly what kind of market it is. He knows just how much this team can make (already makes despite low attendance) once they field a perennial winner. So, no, there's no serious threat.

The number of calories in an avocado will depend on its size. The avocado nutrition facts listed on the label are for a standard medium avocado, but many avocados are larger.

According to the USDA Nutrient Database, there are 322 calories in a slightly larger (201 gram) avocado. The bigger fruit provides about 30 grams of fat, 4.2 grams of saturated fat, almost 20 grams of monounsaturated fat, 3.6 grams of polyunsaturated fat and 13.5 grams of fiber.

But you probably wouldn't eat an entire avocado in a single sitting. So it's more helpful to look at avocado calories per tablespoon to see how your avocado calories add up.

If you spread a thin layer of avocado on your diet-friendly sandwich or add a small amount to your healthy taco as guacamole, you are probably consuming roughly 30 grams or 2 tablespoons of fruit. There are 25 calories per tablespoon of guacamole, so you'd be adding roughly 50 calories to your meal. That doesn't seem so bad, does it? It's not, as long as that's all the guacamole you add. The problem is that most of us add more, and sometimes, depending on the manufacturer, guacamole may contain other ingredients, like a dash of sugar.

Generally speaking though, a single serving of two tablespoons of guacamole contains 50 calories, 4.5 grams of fat (2.5 grams saturated fat), 240 mg of sodium, and 3 grams of carbohydrate, and 1 gram of protein. As long as you're mindful of portion size, it can be a heart-healthy addition to your meal.

Adding your avocado calories per tablespoon can get tricky, because how often do you use a tablespoon to measure the fruit? Most of us just slice a wedge or divide the avocado into quarters to get the portion we want. If you eat one-fifth of an avocado—that's a little less than a quarter of the fruit—you'll be consuming roughly 2 tablespoons of avocado or 50 calories.

Health Benefits of Avocados

Even if you eat more avocado than you should, you are still providing your body with health benefits.

Avocados are high in fat, but they are not high in saturated fat. Instead they provide a healthy dose of monounsaturated fat, considered a "good" fat. Monounsaturated fat or MUFAs come from plant sources and may be helpful in lowering your LDL or "bad" cholesterol. For this reason, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends that you choose foods with monounsaturated fats instead of saturated fat.

Avocados also provide fiber. Eating foods with fiber can help you to feel fuller and more satisfied. Weight loss experts generally recommend that dieters consume foods with fiber to help them eat less and create the calorie deficit needed for weight loss.

Avocados are also a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K and folate.

Avocados and Weight Loss

Since avocados are high in calories should you ditch them from your diet? If you love them, then don't. You can keep this creamy food in your diet, but you need to be careful about how much you eat.

You can use avocados instead of other spreads or toppings that provide less healthy fats, like butter or margarine that may contain saturated fats or trans fat. As long as you keep your avocado calories in control and eat just a tablespoon of avocado (or even slightly more) you'll be doing your diet a favor.

Picking and Storing Avocados

The Hass Avocado Board recommends that you use both color and feel to find the best fruit. Place an avocado with a dark but consistent color in the palm of your hand. Then gently squeeze. If it yields slightly, it is ripe and ready to use. You can store ripe, uncut avocados in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

To ripen an avocado quickly place it in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana for 2-3 days.

If you eat your avocado just a tablespoon at a time and you hate to waste food, use smart storage tips to keep your avocados fresh. Many cooks add lime or lemon juice to their fruit so that they can eat just a small amount and save the rest for later. You can also freeze an avocado, but many cooks say that it changes the texture of the fruit.

Healthy Ways to Prepare Avocados and Avocado Recipes

Sliced avocado is a great addition to a healthy sandwich or wrap. It provides a creamy texture and allows you to remove the butter or mayo. Many people also add avocado to an omelet or on the side of scrambled eggs.

Use any of these avocado recipes to include the fruit in more of your meals.

The municipality of Milam was officially named by the Texas Consultation of 1835 to replace the municipality of Viesca, which is assumed to have had identical boundaries with the Sterling C. Robertson colony. Robertson and George Childress represented the municipality of Milam at the Convention of 1836 at Washington-on-the-Brazos. With the passage of laws by the First Congress of the republic organizing county governments on December 19 and 20, 1836, the municipality became Milam County.
The Milam County Courthouse burned on April 9, 1874 and all records were destroyed. The only surviving item is one surveyor's notebook that contains no genealogical information. (See: Books On-Line)
Milam County is in east central Texas 150-miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico and is bordered by Robertson, Burleson, Lee, Williamson, Bell, and Falls counties. Cameron, the county seat, is at the intersection of U.S. highways 77 and 190 on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, 60-miles northeast of Austin and 140-miles south of Dallas.
The county's center lies 4-miles south of Cameron at 30°47' north latitude and 96°59' west longitude. The present county covers 1,019 square miles of level to slightly rolling terrain at an elevation that ranges from 250 to 600 feet above sea level.

I'd like to learn as much as possible from the pro and see where the dog is at (I get regular updates that are positive). It would be like a private "training clinic". I'm thinking 2 or 3 days.

Harnad to promote self-archiving to enhance research impact, May 1
Posted April 28, 2003; 02:29 p.m.
A talk on "Making One's Mark in the Post-Gutenberg World: How to Enhance Research Impact Through Self-Archiving" is scheduled for noon Thursday, May 1, in McCosh 28.
Stevan Harnad, who holds the Canada Research Chair in Cognitive Science at the University of Quebec in Montreal, will make the presentation, which is intended for researchers in all disciplines.
"In the paper era it was enough to publish one's research findings in refereed journals in order to ensure that they reached their would-be users and made their maximum impact on further research," said Harnad, who earned his Ph.D. in psychology from Princeton in 1992. "In the online age this is no longer enough; not even making the journals online is enough, for impact-blocking tolls still restrict online access to the minority of universities that can afford them (and even the richest universities can afford only a minority of the 20,000 refereed journals published annually)."
He will discuss a remedy for the situation: depositing electronic versions of research articles in university e-print archives.
The talk is sponsored by the Office of Information Technology and the University Library .

Following a disappointing Q2 report by Google (GOOG) this afternoon, in which the company missed revenue and earnings expectations by a wide margin, CEO Larry Page and staff held a conference call with analysts, a substantial portion of which focused on the notable decline of 6%, year over year, in the company's cost per click, the amount it charges advertisers, on average.
Page kicked things off in prepared remarks by saying Google's 19% revenue growth in the quarter, to $14.1 billion, was "amazing" for a company not yet 15 years old. He offered some stats on the company's platforms and apps. There have been over 900 million Android-based devices activated, and 1.5 million are being tuned on each day, he said. And there have been over 50 billion apps downloaded from the Google Play store to those devices. Google's "Chrome" operating system for personal computers and for the new class of lightweight "Chromebook" laptops, has 750 million users.
CFO Patrick Pichette noted that despite overall ad revenue growth, growth on third-party sites that are partners declined 2% from the prior quarter, which he attributed to the continued effect of having made changes at the end of last year to assure quality of ads. Pichette said the company is "especially excited" about forthcoming devices from its Motorola division, "so stay tuned."
Addressing the cost-per-click decline, Pichette said it was he result of a combination of factors that have existed in past quarters. In particular, in the United Kingdom, foreign exchange had reduced actual growth of 15% to reported growth of just 12%, and a "warm spring" climate had also dampened results there, he said.
Google's chief business officer, Nikesh Arora, talked about the company's new product to blend desktop and mobile advertising buying, "Enhanced Campaigns." He said 6 million active campaigns had been moved to the new platform, and all advertiser campaigns would be moved by the end of this month. He said the move has been "pretty smooth," but that the company and its clients are "at the very early staged of a very, very major change."
He cited the example of Pizza Hut, which has found its click-through rate on mobile devices has risen by 60%.
Arora said half of Fortune 500 companies are using Google paid applications for their operations, and more than 5 million businesses use Google's productivity apps.
During the Q&A, an analyst asked if cost per click was affected by the shift of usage to mobile devices. Pichette said yes, but also urged analysts not to focus too much on CPC:
Clearly, mobile has some effect. It's one of the many factors that are at work. I just gave the list and the property mix and the channel mix includes a bunch of mobile shifts as well. That's part of the equation clearly for sure that drives both sides of the equation. I just want to remind everybody that it's always kind of dangerous to just look at CPCs by themselves or just look at paid clicks by themselves but in fact it's a combination of the two that gives you the health of the business and these mixes move all over the place, depending on the number of changes going on in any quarter but overall very pleased with the overall performance.
An analyst asked Pichette about the slow down in third-party site ads, up just 7%, year, over year, versus 12% last quarter. Pichette said the changes the company implemented about which ads are of acceptable quality were "clearly having an impact as now we've had a number of partners that have through Q2 made the changes to their behavior." He added that "we really believe that this is a really good thing for our users and in the long term will really benefit both the users and Google."
Pichette was asked a little later how much longer the changes to ad quality would continue to affect Google's results. Pichette replied maybe a "couple quarters":
The quality around our policies, they will take a year to flow through. Once you kind of reset the bar, then it actually by the time — people will kind of adhere to these changes but then you have to actually navigate through the entire. Probably take a couple more quarters. That's just a timing issue. Having said that, I just want to remind everybody again that the fundamental issue that we see is it's really important for us to actually have a great user experience. Because in the end that's what really drives the benefit in the long term. So when we have to hit, take some hits in the short term in order to get the right answer and the long-term for our users and our advertisers we're always ready to them. We're not too worried about that.
Google shares recouped a little of their initial 5% loss in after hours by the time the call was over, declining $37.68, or 4%, to $873.00.
When Arora was asked whether Enhanced Campaigns had an impact on results in the quarter, or what metrics the company might eventually be able to provide about the impact of the product, he answered vaguely,
the impact in the longer term should be that we should be able to provide, simpler, faster, better ads. Effects of these things, obviously there are effects that we see and we monitor and we take a look at but it's too early for us to go out and start details what the impact of these things are. Of course in the long-term it should have a positive impact on conversions and as a result all resulting metrics that affect conversion.
An analyst pointed out that gross profit growth has been trailing revenue growth for three quarters now and asked Pichette if the company cares about that. He replied that the company cares about making money, and that different businesses contribute in different ways:
Many of the new opportunities that we may be exploring whether it be hardware, whether it be play, whether it be many of these will have different margins in our core business but they actually offer great kind of huge revenue pools, huge margin pools in absolute dollars and then create much shareholder value and in many cases with Larry and the product area leads, great synergistic value between the products to create these great experiences. That's basically the mindset that we apply.
Pichette added that some projects, such as the company's "Google Fiber" roll-out in Kansas City, start out in "investment mode," code for losing money, but are expected to eventually make a profit, and "you're actually investing in it for the timing of future profit."
If you're interested in reading still more about the decline in cost per click, Larry Kim. founder of search marketing outfit WordStream has posted his thoughts on the phenomenon. He opines that perhaps inventory of search results, which google has been increasing, has brought down auction prices for ads. Perhaps, too, Enhanced Campaigns are really bringing more advertisers into mobile, thereby reducing the blended average price for ads, given that mobile historically has lower rates than for desktop Web ads.
And last, perhaps Enhanced Campaigns really are working, leading to greater return on investment, but also lower overall spend. To wit, he poses the question, "Could more SMBs [small and medium businesses] be killing it with ECs resulting in lower CPC?" Fair question, it seems.

Last call for alcohol.
Do we "need" the fans at the stadium? Well, that depends on whether you think having fans at the game affects the outcome. I happen to think it does, perhaps you don't. But if you do, then these kinds of variables -- and the Dolphins' total lack of awareness of them -- should be important to you. It's a lot easier to fix the stadium than it is to fix the demographics of Miami, donchathink? The way the situation is now the stadium and it's location help keep people away, which makes the team worse, which means more people stay away... around and around the toilet bowl until you've got the situation as it is now.
A better stadium in a better location would incentivise people to show up even with the team mediocre as it is now, which could be the spark the team needs to get better and get more people coming to the game.
Miami fans get labeled fickle all the time. It's understandable if you don't want to support the fins at the stadium because of their poor play or if you live far away. Going to the game is an enjoyable experience for me and my family and friends.
If you don't attend because of what street the stadium was built on or the appearance of the stadium that is fickle and there is no reason to debate with that type of fan because if the stadium was new and in their back yard that would still make an excuse not to go.

They know they have no retort for the constant losing argument other than, "go to the games no matter what!" so they conveniently avoid that altogether and talk about everything else (stadium, demographic, etc.).
The past decade has been unacceptable for this organization, he said. We will earn your trust back, both on and off the field. The talk of dysfunction within the organization is over. - Chris Grier, Miami Dolphins GM
It's because we haven't had consistency in any sense of the word.
As it is the Dolphins are a negative in all three categories. "Ripping the NFL up" would be made easier by a full stadium, don't you think? It doesn't just happen in a vacuum.

It has been 11 days since I last posted.. Announcing a winner to the SMMPhoto contest. 11 days since I have really sat at the computer and gave the time to jot something down of significance. Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites are great ways to let the world know about our minute by minute world changing activities like loosing pounds, winning an online chess game, or showing off a wonderful sunrise, the Blog to me is not that forum and I reserve the time for the blog to share something I think worth sharing.
With that.. 11 days have gone by since anything of significance.. unless I count the great time that I have been enjoying over the last two weeks.
Spending time with the Patrol Leaders Council last week, preparing for a Kayak trip down the Deschutes River with the Troop this coming weekend, wrapping up the final details for our newest Eagle Scout, playing golf and shaving a few strokes off the long game.
Its Football season, and that absorbs lots of my attention. My youngest son stepped on the Football field on September 2nd under the lights of the stadium and made his starting debut as the Quarterback of the Reynolds High School Raiders.. he's only a Sophomore and over the last two weeks he has made a name for himself on the field demonstrating that passion and hard work will pay huge rewards on the field.
School has started and now the house is once again full of friends, home work, and the drama of school life as 2 Seniors and a Sophomore kicked off yet another academic year. Eagle Projects, Band practice, Football, and conditioning for the upcoming Wrestling season have taken over the lazy days of summer.
Time spent with family and friends have kept me away from the computer and surfing the web, and you know it felt great.
This morning my two buddies and I played a great round of golf. We walked the course joking and making fun of each others game. It was a great time spent with friends. As we walked the course we talked a little about how life has changed since 2001. Our kids have grown up a lot, our jobs never changed, our families got bigger, and aside from an all expense paid trip to Iraq and the loss of some good people, our lives up here in the Northwest really just went on. We have really felt the impact of watching ground zero transform into a monument. Besides the visit to the Pentagon during the National Jamboree, the pain felt in Washington DC did not ripple its way out West.
This week there has been a lot of build up about the anniversary of September the 11th. A tragic day in the history of America but what are we supposed to do. I propose we never forget about what happened, but not just what happened, but who did it and why. We should never forget it and never forgive it. We should fight these distributors of terror, these cowards that have no honor, every day until they are all gone.
One of the ways we fight them is by not letting them disrupt our way of life and our will to be free. We when compromise and dismiss the fact that these terrible beasts are out there to hurt us we let them win. We need to fight and fight and fight. I will fight them every day. I will never forgive them and never forget what they have done to my country. And most of all.. I will not let them win.
If this offends you.. I am don't know what to tell you… I am not sorry.
What these animals did to our Country is no different than what the Japanese did on December 7th, 1941. And we destroyed them. We won.
We have to make this 10th Anniversary of the 2001 Attack on America a resolution to win.
So remember where you where that day. Remember how you felt. Remember the lives lost, the damage done.. then resolve to get on with our lives and win this war on terror. I AM NOT AFRAID!
To make this Scout like.. a Scout is Brave.. a Scout is Loyal.. and a Scout makes a promise to do his duty to GOD and COUNTRY.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Even the homeless care for their pet so much and consider them as a big part of their family on the street. If this people can do it, then why can't all of us set a good example to children and tell them the importance of caring the animals they interact with in their daily life.

|Yak Attack Kayaks and flyfishing = ultimate stealth
|Topic Review (Newest First)
One more tip....
My book shows a "rescue stirrup" in the safety section. Here is what it says:
"Some paddlers find it impossible to reenter a kayak with a high back deck. Fatigue or hypothermia may disable an otherwise proficient paddler trying to get back into the kayak. A rescue stirrup can be a necessary leg up. Cut a piece of 1-inch nylon tubular webbing long enough(about 14 feet) to reach around the cockpit coaming and hang 18 inches into the water. Push 6 inches of garden hose through the tubing up to the midpoint to create an open step in the flexible webbing. The webbing can be tied into a loop the correct length for the boat, the person, and the technique being used. Remember that much of your gear might be used to rescue someone else."
It is like a stepladder for kayaks that hangs around the cockpit. You could carry it behind your seat, and it just may save someone's life in the cold ocean waters of the Cape.
Those were some interesting tips. I personally enjoy kayaking (open water) and fly-fishing (although I usually just use the kayak to get where I want to fish and then I get out and fish).
I'm pretty sure there are one or two good sea kayak instructors up on the North Shore, I'll try to find the info for you.
There's always Billington Sea in Plymouth as well. He's a great guy who has been yakking more than most instructors experience combined.
Maybe you can get a Doogue clan discount...
Mark, I totally agree on the idea of instruction. Safety and dealing with emergencies is an obvious area but, just like casting, it seams there are efficient and not so efficient ways of propelling a kayak. Since this will be a first for me, getting the right technique down before developing a bunch of bad habits seems like an all round smart move. Fortunately there are several schools in my neck of the woods also, so I plan to sign up for a few lessons before the season gets going.
It looks like we have quite a core of enthusiastic paddlers and I'm really looking forward to checking out all those previously inaccessible areas!
sea kayak info
In an attempt to keep myself alive while paddling all over creation in a sea kayak I "mentioned" to Santa that I would like books pertaining to kayaking.
One that I found in my stocking was "Sea Kayaker's Savvy Paddler - More than 500 Tips for Better Kayaking." It covers everything from major equipment purchases to planning and packing for multiple week trips. It doesn't go into subjects like the mechanics of an eskimo roll, it is more a checklist of do's and don'ts to make your paddling more efficient.
Some of my favorites:
#1 - A week of competent instruction is worth a year of just paddling around.
#9 - The best way to learn to stay dry is to get wet, often.
#21 - Every time you go out for a day paddle, spend the last twenty minutes doing a few practice rolls.
#36 - Test paddle a loaded kayak. Feel and performance will be very different with a load on board(at least 50lbs.) You can use two-liter bottles filled with water.
#60 - A paddle that's shorter overall will permit a greater variation in stroke rate.
And the one I found most interesting:
#127 - Glue a piece of neoprene or 1/4 inch foam under your feet in the cockpit. It will keep your feet warmer and prevent sandy boots from wearing a hole in the hull.
I'll post worthwhile tips from time to time. I also have a line on a decent kayaking school down in RI that I am looking into. I want to procede correctly so I don't find myself in over my head at some point next year. Buying the kayak is easy, being safe is a full time job.
Happy New Year.

So why is the tweak useless? This is one of the better ones I've seen for free in a long time.
One person's opinion, if you don't share that opinion cool.... good thing we live in a country where we can have and voice our different opinions.
I agree, I see very little use with it. I mean, its barely there, and not even intrusive. Kudos for being able to do it, but really, is it that annoying? how many downloaded it.
It also offers a sense of being able to multitask.
The tweak is also much more versatile than being limited to FaceTime – it also works with phone calls, personal hotspot, and recording apps, which all increase the size of the status bar.
THANK YOU!!! FINALLY!!!!! I've been waiting for something like this for SO long!!
Aaaaand now it doesn't work on iOS 7.
