Ask Al
Al Pigioni bestows his wisdom upon those who seek it.
Heeeey yooou guuuuys! Check out all these Sloth spoofs by Rainbow Animations!
In the poopshoot!
shut up wankers
why must he be black do do this cartoon??? its a funny cartoon hahaha man like he said this aint a perfect world and hes just pointing out some shit in a nice brainfucking way
Short but good
i hate all races
see below
I liked the artwork, and I would have liked this if it were longer and built up to more that "Moving because of black people", there wasn't enough humor in it, no real examples of the paranoia like testimony from a family, no witty slogans, it had the groundwork, but no followthrough, though, from the sound of it, you heard this on a radio station and put it to video, in which case, length can't be helped. The sound quality was really good, and the art was good as well.
cool but one thing about the guy......
great movie, i found it funny but to kinda question what the guy said before on your review and that is this do you realize the majority of men breaking l;aw and ect are actualy white.
no one seems to know that though
Short but sweet
lol, damn short but still funny, and i knpw what you mean, even if it isn't like that in Britain, its still true, well done :)

"I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'" (Isaiah 6:8)
Being in a choir simply means being willing to lift our voices in praise to God on a regular basis. If you are called to become a member of an FPC vocal choir or handbell choir, please prayerfully consider saying "yes". When we hear God's call and answer it with a "yes", we receive great blessings.
Call Alan Bunn at 706-378-1918 for Sanctuary Choir and Bell Choir or Alice Walker at 770-787-6915 for Ambassador Choir.
Music is integral to our lives together as a community of faith. It is through music that we glorify and worship God in uniquely talented ways. A wide variety of music programs, groups and special presentations minister to the needs and tastes of our entire church family.
Choirs, including the Sanctuary Choir, Ambassador Choir, Children's Choir and Handbell Choir rehearse weekly and bring musical offerings to worship services on a regular basis. Rehearsal schedules are as follows:
First Presbyterian Church, Covington, boasts an outstanding pipe organ built by the Wicks Organ Company, Highland, Illinois. The Sanctuary houses the two-manual, 31 rank instrument with 99 memories, installed when the new Sanctuary was completed in 1995. The Sanctuary Organ, the firm's Opus 6292, was designed for the new building under the direction of Dr. John H. Roark. The organ is a wonderful asset to the church's music ministry and the instrument provides great leadership to the congregation in singing the faith.
Numerous concerts have been given on the Wicks Organ, including recitals by Alan Morrison of the Curtis Institute, Samuel Metzger, formerly Senior Organist at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and currently, Senior Organist at Second Presbyterian Church, Memphis, Tennessee, and by Dr. Roark, Retired Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Buford, GA, and currently Associate Organist, Peachtree Presbyterian Church, Atlanta. Other recitalists who have performed on the organ include: Dan Miller, Rodgers Organ Company; Bill Callaway, First United Methodist Church, Chamblee; Tom Alderman, Roswell United Methodist Church ; Jim Ingram, retired President/CEO, Allen Organ Studios, Atlanta, and currently organist at St. Stephen's Lutheran Church, Lexington, SC; and Phillip Skerrett, Jr., Big Bethel AME Church, Atlanta.
The church's organist, Alice Griffin Walker, CAGO, AAGO, has performed many concerts on the organ, and sometimes with her twin sister, Becky Griffin Ramsey, organist at First United Methodist Church, Covington. In 2007, FPC Covington, along with FUMC Covington, hosted concerts as part of the April meeting of the American Guild of Organists, Atlanta Chapter.
A truly classic American organ, the Wicks instrument has been used to provide a wide variety of music for both worship and concert, and its sounds are complemented by the superb acoustics found in the Sanctuary.
The Wicks Organ was the result of a very generous donation by the Patrick Family Foundation (Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Patrick, Sr. and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Patrick, Jr.) in memory of Sadie Patrick Greer and Lee Alvin Patrick.
An upgrade was made to the Wicks Pipe Organ in 2009, with the installation of an Allen Organ Company Vista MIDI, along with a transposer and a digital recorder for the organ. The Allen Vista MIDI enhanced the organ with 128 general MIDI sounds and 94 organ stops.
In 2010, a Rodgers MX-200 MIDI was also added to the organ. The MIDI contains more than 1,100 sounds, selected by Rodgers' Dan Miller, a widely acclaimed organ recitalist who will be remembered in Covington for playing the "Festival Concert for Three Organs" in October, 2007, at FPC, Covington, with Alice Walker and Becky Ramsey.
Both of these MIDI additions were given by Carol & Ellis Dunbar in honor of FPC Organist, Alice Walker.
Both of these MIDI additions were given by Carol & Ellis Dunbar in honor of FPC Organist, Alice Walker.

New Airline Rules
Some new airline rules went into effect this week. Pretty sure you'll be happy with these , especially if you've flown recently and had some bad experiences.
Here are the changes that took effect on January 24th.
1. All airlines must disclose all taxes and fees in their advertised prices. In other words no more looking up a price and seeing say: $249 only to click purchase and suddenly see $300.
2. Airlines will no no longer be able to raise prices even after you've purchased the ticket. Some fine print used to say they had this right and you'd have to pay before you could board.
3. Airlines will have to now promptly tell passengers either by phone or email if there are any delays of more than 30 minutes.
4. Baggage fees must be disclosed in advance and the same fees must apply for every leg of the flight.
5. You'll now have 24 hours to cancel your reservation! However, you'll only be able to do this if you've booked the flight at least a week in advance. Any tickets purchased with less than 7 days of advance are not covered under this "24 hour waiting period" rule.

MELBOURNE gave the Living End a warm homecoming on Tuesday night when they played the first of 11 shows at the Corner as part of their Retrospective Tour. The internationally successful rockabilly trio are in the final stretch of a 39-date tour of Australia, where they are playing at least seven shows in five major cities - performing one of their six studio albums, track for track from start to finish each night.
Almost every show sold out with an encore performance of their debut album from 1998, which reached No.1 on the ARIA albums chart and stayed in the top 50 for more than a year. Due to enormous demand, the self-titled album is getting five live performances at the Corner. Singer and guitarist Chris Cheney said during Tuesday's set that they filmed the video for Second Solution at the Corner 15 years ago.
Cheney formed the Living End with double bassist Scott Owen in 1994 after playing together in a high school Stray Cats tribute band, the Runaway Boys. Drummer Andy Strachan joined in 2002, replacing Travis Demsey. In 2011, the band added a fourth live member, Adrian Lombardi, on rhythm guitar. More than 8000 tickets have been sold for the band's Corner shows, which finish on December 22 with two performances, including an under-18s matinee gig. The first six Living End shows sold out in a couple of days and another five were added.
The previous Corner record for sold-out shows was held by Megan Washington in 2010 and Matt Corby in 2012 with five each.
Barnes joins the Boss
JIMMY Barnes has already had a massive year, with his band Cold Chisel undertaking a hugely successful tour here and overseas. Now Barnes has joined the bill for Bruce Springsteen's eagerly anticipated Australian tour next year, playing in Brisbane, Sydney and two Melbourne shows. ''It's fantastic, I'm a huge fan and have been since his early records,'' Barnes told Sticky. ''I love his integrity, his songs and his work ethic … he keeps doing great things, so I'm thrilled to be playing with someone I admire so much as an entertainer and as a songwriter.'' Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band plus Jimmy Barnes play Rod Laver Arena on March 24 and Hanging Rock in Macedon on March 30.
Big Day Out
TIMETABLES, maps and final additions for the 2013 Big Day Out festival have been revealed with the Medics, Bodyjar, Seth Sentry, the Smith Street Band, Kingswood, Yung Warriors, Money for Rope, Jackson Firebird, Split Seconds, For Our Hero, Generik and Triple J Unearthed winners Apes joining the line-up. The silly stage, Lilypad returns with its usual crew Duckpond, Heavy G, Larry Kronic Jr and Cristo featuring Bob Log III, Chicks on Speed DJ Show, Zanzibar Chanel, the Stiffys, Bogan Karaoke, Xtreme Food Olympics and more. The Big Day Out comes to Melbourne's Flemington Racecourse on January 26. See bigdayout.com.
Spiegeltent returns
The Famous Spiegeltent returns to the Arts Centre Forecourt from February 5 to April 21 next year and offers a mix of circus, cabaret, theatre and live music, as well as programs for children plus food and wine events. The program includes French American acoustic group Moriarty, Lior, Kate Ceberano, Katie Noonan and more.
Hyde back in business
THE Billy Hyde music store in Flemington reopened this week under old management as GH Music. Garry Hyde is back at the helm after starting the Billy Hyde Drum Clinic 50 years ago in partnership with his late father Billy and cousin Barry Quinn. Garry Hyde sold the chain of Billy Hyde Music stores in 2007 before it merged with Allans. The embattled Allans Billy Hyde chain stores went into receivership this year. Con Gallin, managing director of Australian Musical Imports, has bought the bulk of Allans Billy Hyde assets (which doesn't include the Flemington store) after negotiating with receivers Ferrier Hodgson.
Norton Records benefit
MUSIC fans across the world have been setting up benefits and volunteering their time to help Brooklyn-based rockabilly and garage rock record label Norton Records.
The label's warehouse was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy, which destroyed most of the stock. Norton Records was founded in the mid-1980s by Miriam Linna and Billy Miller who met in 1976 when Linna was drumming for the Cramps. The couple formed their own band, the A-Bones. Norton Records has reissued and released music by Hasil Adkins, Link Wray, Charlie Feathers, Gene Vincent, the Sonics, the Pretty Things, the Flamin' Groovies, Andre Williams, Johnny Burnette, Reigning Sound and more.
Melbourne record store and label Off the Hip has organised a benefit at the Old Bar on Saturday night with Midnight Woolf, Mesa Cosa, the Reprobettes, Wrong Turn and DJs. Tickets $10 at the door.

Stop the fight. The greatest uniform in Minor League Baseball has arrived.
In a minor league offseason that has already brought us Chihuahuas, RubberDucks and bacon, the Fresno Grizzlies (Triple-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants) blew everyone else out of the water late Sunday night with the introduction of their new "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" alternates.
Too good not to be immediately shared. But the first images of the @FresnoGrizzlies Ninja Turtles jerseys are here http://t.co/ZSMlSx7RZa—
Minor League Promos (@MiLBPromos) March 10, 2014
The Grizzlies have yet to announce their exact plan for the uniforms — as you can see, there are four variations, which presumably all can't be worn in the same game.
It'll be a little tough for fans to get their hands on a jersey of their own — they'll be auctioned off for charity — but the team tweeted that the blue-, purple-, red- and orange-brimmed hats will be available for purchase online this summer.

Spring 2015 Wedding Gowns Perfect for the Statement-Making Bride
Photo courtesy of Damsel White Label
More often than not, bridal market season in New York comes and goes without much fanfare. Cookie-cutter gowns with matching lace veils traipse down the runway, media takes note and everyone goes home. Not to belittle the incredible work and awe-inspiring details seen during market, but up until the past few years, it has been a bit predictable.
The spring 2015 runways felt like a breath of fresh air in comparison. Designers presented the requisite classic looks, but amid the chiffon avalanche were pieces that pushed the bridal envelope and brought a little newness to old ideas.
Weddings in general have been trending toward more individuality for a few years, so it is no surprise that the centerpiece of the wedding -- the gown -- has been remade for the modern woman. In addition to bridal-specific inspirations, designers looked to ready-to-wear trends for a little street style infusion -- hello, wedding day crop tops!
I present to you five trends seen on the Spring 2015 runway and interpreted by four of Houston's finest bridal design talents.

Human nature to dominate and kill for survival is in-built and natural, as, deep down inside, man is a wild animal: a predator and a hunter. For civilizations of the 20th century, war is not a new concept. Many film producers have made intricate movies about wars and combat. The following is a list of military movies, which are a must-see for all military enthusiasts. There are several different parameter's on the basis of which the military movie can be rated, the following are however, the movies that are realistic, patriotic and thrilling.
Top Military Movies
Military movies contain some really good action, and also a patriotic thrill. Men of these movies are sometimes based on real incidences that have occurred in the course of history. Some movies are such that the principal plot is fictitious, but the time-frame and historic event within which it is placed are true.
Saving Private Ryan
Saving Private Ryan, a legendary movie by a living legend, Steven Spielberg. It is a film that follows a team of Allied soldiers across Germany occupied France during the World War 2, who are in search of Private Ryan, a paratrooper who has lost 3 brothers in the war. The film stars Tom Hanks as the Captain of the team who successfully keeps together a team of 6 rangers, and is asked to search for Private Ryan, which is as good as finding a needle in a haystack. The film is known for its music, depiction of combat tactics and a highly realistic opening scene of the D Day. This movie is always among the best military movies ever.
Let us take a walk through the pages of history as Russell Crowe, adapts the character of General Maximus Decimus Meridius, of the Roman army. The movie depicts real history as Commodus, murders his father to claim the throne, and plans to have the loyal General Maximus assassinated. The tables turn as Maximus escapes and becomes a Gladiator in Northern Africa (then a Roman province). But Maximus has to return to Rome for one last fight, and thereby claim his real identity. The film depicts some amazing sword fighting sequences and also its thrilling music.
A movie by snipers, for snipers. Mark Wahlberg, stars as Bob Lee Swagger, a retired US marine sniper with formidable sniping skill, and a tone of kills on his record. Swagger is requested out of retirement by a US army Colonel for an assignment that involves detecting a presidential assassination. The whole mission turns out to be a hoax as the president is shot at (but survives) and Swagger is framed up as the assassin. The hoax turns up to be an even bigger cover up of a genocide, as Swagger swears to hunt and kill his betrayers.
Top Gun
Always a highly rated film in any top ten military movie list, Top Gun is an air force based movie that follows Tom Cruise as 'Maverick' (code name), to Fighter Town, Navy Fighter Weapons school, also known as 'Top Gun'. The weapons school trains the best US fighter pilots for highly demanding calls of duty. The experts of this school train the entire Squadron to be the best of the best. During the course of the movie Maverick, falls in love with one of his instructors (Kelly McGillis) and losses his RIO 'Goose' during a mock dogfight. After regaining his confidence, he displays some insane flying to ward off air space aggressors. The movie closes with Maverick back as an instructor at 'Top Gun'.
Along with these movies 'Where Eagles Dare', 'Iron Cross', 'The Bridge On The River Kwai', 'Platoon', 'An Eye Of The Needle', 'Pearl Harbor' and 'Guns of Navarone' can easily make the top ten list of best war movies in a movie review. Believe it or not, but you won't be satisfied with just a single screening.

Inquiry invites us to understand who we are, teaches us that our voice is important and helps us to recognize and value the difference of others. This kind of learning is respectful to our student's cultures and experiences as it gives them ownership in their learning and chance to collaboratively construct knowledge.
With inquiry students become activated, engaged and motivated as they become involved in the learning and begin to care deeply about critical issues. During this process they are gathering and weighing information as they are reading, thinking and talking with each other creating an exciting, authentic experience.
Inquiry causes us to think about information causing us to acquire knowledge. Only then can we integrate it and actively apply it to the experiences, situations, and circumstances in our daily lives. We can then make informed choices about how to act and behave, persuade others, and even take action.
Darling-Hammond (2005) states, "Teachers in many schools will need to create new conditions for learning that provide more equal access to challenging curriculum and more engagement in decision making." Inquiry is the host for this kind of learning creating a synergy between teacher, student and knowledge. Knowledge that is collaboratively constructed by integrated groups of students, uses intentional instructional strategies, and is fostered around curriculum that matters.
As educators use inquiry that is learner-centered, social, cognitive, highly stimulating, intellectually demanding, collaborative and democratic in its structure, they can lead a generation of students to become empowered. Teachers also become empowered refocusing their philosophy, instructional strategies and calling for a new paradigm to match this way of teaching.

Harvest Moon: Back To Nature
Review by Special Ed
"Slightly disapointing, but still good."
To start this review off, I would like to say that Harvest Moon is my favorite video game series ever. I loved Harvest Moon 64 and I had incredibly high expectations for Back to Nature. I preordered it about 4 months before it was released, and when I finally received it in the mail, I immediately started playing it. After a few hours, I turned off the game. I was angry that Natsume changed the characters' personalities and jobs. I was glad that they added features, but I was still mad. After a while, though, I came to like the game because of the classic Harvest Moon gameplay.
Graphics: 7/10
They aren't quite as good as Harvest Moon 64's graphics, but they're still pretty good. The characters look the same as in Harvest Moon 64, but I really don't care.
Gameplay: 10/10
One word: addictive. In the game, you inherit your grandpa's farm after he dies and you have 3 years to restore the farm, build a family, and to become an important figure in the town. At the end of the 3 years, you will be evaluated on how much money you made, how many friends you made, how many animals you had, and many other factors. The town is a little confusing at first, but eventually it isn't a problem. The game includes many more features, like more house extensions, more tools, more crops and flowers, more characters, more shops, daily routines for the characters, more recipes, 2 mines instead of 1, the option of keeping fish in the pond on your farm, and many others. One thing I really dislike about the game, is that there are annoying loading times, like when you save the game before going to bed. Still, it can't really damage the gameplay very much.
Sound: 5/10
Each season has its own music, but it gets very annoying. The sound effects aren't very good either.
Plot: 6/10
Basically the same as all the other Harvest Moon games.
Great gameplay
Good graphics
Tons of stuff to do
Lots of added features
Loading times
The repetitive music
Characters personalities were changed from the other games
Buy or Rent: If you're a fan of the series, buy. If you've never played a Harvest Moon game, then you should probably rent it first.
Overall: 9/10
This is a great game. It may not be the best in the series, but it's still one of my favorite games.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

The Clinton City Council held a special meeting last week to consider plans for cleaning up the city�s water.
The council heard from Schneider Electric Energy Solutions and ended up agreeing unanimously to proceed with a feasibility study by the firm. If the city continues to the next step, an investment grade audit will be done and the cost of the feasibility study will be rolled into the final price. If the city doesn�t continue with Schneider, the first study can cost the city up to $15,000, the council agreed.
The Clinton Water and Sewer Department has been operating at a loss for several year. After problems with the system over the past years, the Arkansas Department of Health in February 2011 gave the department two years to improve water quality.
The department has received a $1.4 million grant to help pay for clarifiers. Department Manager Isaac Keeling and Mayor Roger Rorie began looking at clarifiers, first round ones, then square ones because of space limitations at the treatment plant site. Schneider has recommended a third option on clarifiers, one that is 50 times smaller than the others, and is called Actiflo.
At the special meeting Jan. 24, David Smith and Steven Packard of Schneider outlined what they see as the most important fixes the water system needs. The priority is improving water quality, they said, followed by stemming the water loss the department experiences, and then enhancing performance and operations.
The department had a water loss of 61 percent in 2011. The national standard is 14 percent at a well-run facility, Smith said.
Keeling noted that much water is lost in backwashing operations. Currently, he said, filters are being backwashed every three hours as turbidity in Greers Ferry Lake continues.
�All we�re doing right now is keeping our head above water,� he said. In less than two weeks the department spent $21,000 on chemicals, Keeling said.
Smith told the council that Schneider will give the city its �list of options and you�re going to tell us what you want to do.�
The Actiflo clarifier system is an operational cost, while replacing customers� meters for a more accurate account of usage and reducing water loss are revenues, Packard said.
City Councilman Jason Lynch voiced his concern about Actiflo. �If we install it tomorrow is a new version - Actiflow II - going to come out Monday?�
Smith assured the council that the technology will be good for many years to come.
The feasibility study should be completed within 30 days.

John Barrow and Barack Obama say they are for farmers and support agriculture, but I've found them to largely be all hat and no cattle. Having served as President of the Columbia County Farm Bureau for 27 years and on the House Ag Committee, I have a proven record of supporting pro-agriculture legislation. I live it every day in my farming business, and I am committed to supporting Georgia's largest industry.
Our current policies were created in tough times to assist poor family farmers during the Great Depression. We need to determine whether they still make sense. I strongly believe that we should be governed by policies that allow farmers to base decisions on demands in the marketplace and not on government subsidies and burdensome regulations. Farmers would much rather be farming than filling out forms and permits to do what they like to do.

LAS VEGAS—The rematch between Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez was the war the first fight wasn't.
Velasquez emerged victorious late Saturday night, retaking the heavyweight belt with a unanimous decision in the hardest fought victory of his career at UFC 155 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Judges scored the bout 50-45, 50-43 and 50-44 for Velasquez, who avenged a loss to Dos Santos 13 months prior at UFC on FOX.
"It was the hardest fight I've ever been through," Velasquez said afterward. "I was so tired, but I kept thinking, 'Do it, do it, do it.'
"This is my wife's Christmas present. Baby, I got your Christmas present right here."
The smattering of boos that accompanied Dos Santos, whose face was badly swollen, at the weigh-in were surprisingly present during his time at the post-fight mic.
"His game is very effective, and tonight he was better than me," Dos Santos said. "Cain Velasquez, like you said, I'm going to come back, and I'm going to take my belt again."
Midway through the first round, Dos Santos exhaled deeply, and Velasquez began to smother Dos Santos against the fence. First briefly, and then for an extended spell.
Dos Santos didn't see a right hand coming, and in a flash, he was in survival mode as Velasquez began to maul him. The round expired with the former champ at the Brazilian's back, firing away punches.
Dos Santos barely survived.
Velasquez resumed his assault in the second, walking through big counters to dump Dos Santos to the mat. The sequence would replay itself twice before Dos Santos got a brief respite.
But it was brief. It didn't take long before Velasquez was at Dos Santos' back once again. Even when Dos Santos escaped and managed to evade an armbar and gain top position, he could do little as Velasquez reversed and put him against the cage.
The end of the second saw Dos Santos mope again back to his corner.
Dos Santos found his uppercut early in the third, but the strength on his punches had evaporated. Velasquez pressed them to the cage, but this time he wasn't nearly as hard on the champ as before.
Indeed, the relentless pace Velasquez pushed took a toll on his attack. But he continued to press forward through counters and imposed his will against the cage.
Dos Santos found his range early in the fourth and appeared to find a second wind as he shrugged off a takedown attempt and landed shots in close. When Dos Santos finally landed a solid attempt, he righted himself again and survived more punches.
Velasquez, meanwhile, continued to press and smother against the cage.
In the fifth and final round, Dos Santos continued to find counters as Velasquez advanced. He was warned by referee Herb Dean for grabbing the fence. And when Velasquez took him across the cage on a takedown attempt, he held.
A massive contusion marked the champ's left brow.
Velasquez even slammed a head kick into Dos Santos' dome before time ran out.
Velasquez (11-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) now sports the belt and back-to-back wins since the setback to Dos Santos, which was the first of his professional career. Dos Santos (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC), meanwhile, suffers his first loss in the Octagon.
On the undercard:
• Jim Miller def. Joe Lauzon via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Interim City Manager Wende Protzman fired Mr. Johns on Oct. 29 without stating the reason for his termination.
Mr. Johns, an employee with the town since 2001, was suspended over a hostile workplace complaint on Aug. 29, while an investigation was conducted. The investigation was concluded on Oct. 25.
On Tuesday, Nov. 6, San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Robert Foiles granted Mr. Johns a temporary restraining order blocking the release of the 35-page report by attorney Mary Topliff, the investigator hired by the town.
The complaint filed with the court calls Ms. Topliff's report "one-sided, inaccurate, incomplete and misleading." Mr. Johns said that the report contains "material misstatements of fact and omissions" and said that he was forced to act to protect his family's financial interests and his own professional reputation.
He denied the allegations that he created a hostile work environment, and said he himself has been the victim of retaliation over his work to uncover improprieties in the building department and with employee expense accounts, including in the police department.
Last week he filed a wrongful termination complaint with the town and is seeking $500,000 in damages.
Attorneys for Mr. Johns and the town of Atherton will be back in court on Friday, Nov. 30, to argue over whether a preliminary injunction should be granted to prevent the report's disclosure.
The Almanac submitted a public records act request for a copy of the investigator's report on Mr. Johns, as well as the report from an investigation conducted last year of former Building Official Mike Hood.
The judge's decision also may hold up the release of the investigator's report on Mr. Hood, said Atherton City Attorney Marc Hynes.
"It's not covered by the court order, but it's tied in with the proceedings, so I don't know yet (whether the Hood report can be released)," Mr. Hynes said.
Almanac publisher Tom Gibboney said the newspaper should have been involved in the hearing on the temporary restraining order.
"The Almanac has not yet decided whether we will intervene in the case," Mr. Gibboney said. "We have standing in the case because it's our public records act request."
Jim Ewert, an authority on public records law who serves as legal counsel for the California Newspaper Publishers Association, said the public's interest in the release of the investigator's report has to be considered by the court.
A recent state Supreme Court decision clearly shows that public employees do not have a reasonable expectation of a right to privacy, Mr. Ewert said.
The fact that Atherton officials had intended to release the report on Mr. Johns is a dramatic change from last year, when even City Council members had to fight to get access to an investigation into the conduct of building department staff.
Mr. Hynes told the Almanac that recent judicial decisions paved the way for public disclosure of reports on management employees such as Mr. Johns and Mr. Hood, but not of rank-and-file employees.
When asked whether council members have seen the report on Mr. Johns, Mr. Hynes said he could not answer the question.


text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Ankylosing spondylitisAnkylosing spondylitisAs ankylosing spondylitis worsens, new bone forms as part of the body's attempt to heal. The new bone gradually bridges the gap between vertebrae and eventually fuses sections of vertebrae together. Fused vertebrae can flatten the natural curves of your spine and force it into an inflexible, hunched posture. Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disease that, over time, can cause some of the vertebrae in your spine to fuse. This fusing makes the spine less flexible and can result in a hunched-forward posture. If ribs are affected, it can be difficult to breathe deeply. Ankylosing spondylitis affects men more often than women. Signs and symptoms typically begin in early adulthood. Inflammation also can occur in other parts of your body — most commonly, your eyes. There is no cure for ankylosing spondylitis, but treatments can lessen your symptoms and possibly slow progression of the disease.

The Conchords take Flight at TBPAC
At concerts, I'm a lot of That Guys.
I'm That Guy Who Screams the Lyrics Along With the Singer. I'm That Guy Who's Always Holding a Digital Camera in the Air, Snapping Blurry Photos. I'm That Tall, Sweaty Guy Who Insists on Blocking Your View of the Stage.
One That Guy I am not, however, is That Guy Who Screams Random Words and Phrases at the Band, Thus Completely Derailing the Show. That Guy, I most assuredly am not.
Unfortunately, That Guy was in the house Monday night at Flight of the Conchords' show at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. He was there, and he brought friends.
And that's how things at the concert got a little tense.
See, this was opening night of Flight of the Conchords' national tour, which meant the band had plenty of kinks to fix, songs to iron out, and timing and stage banter to tweak. These things don't work themselves out overnight*, and they generally require a little patience on the part of the audience.
Last week, I asked Kristen Schaal**, who plays the band's obsessive fan Mel on their HBO show, if she based Mel on anyone in particular. She said no; Mel was actually an amalgam of some of Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie's real-life fans. "They would just tell me stories about their fans, and then I sort of tried to meld the personality together," she said.
I believe it. It's impressive enough that the band just about sold out the 2,610-seat Carol Morsani Hall at TBPAC, but I saw a bunch of fans with homemade costumes, T-shirts and props (i.e., a ukelele). All that was missing was Mel's disturbing fan art.
Their enthusiasm, it seems, simply could not be contained.
TBPAC is ostensibly a classy venue, a world-class theater that next week will host David Sedaris, classical violinist Midori and a performance of Charles Gounod's Faust***. One would think Flight of the Conchords knew what they were doing when they booked a show there.
But it seemed not everyone was willing to let atmosphere dictate behavior. On multiple occasions, the band had to shush the audience from shouting out song suggestions -- sometimes cheekily, sometimes with a little more pepper.
"If you want to talk," Jemaine joked, "write a note."
"Send it to Bret and Jemaine, New Zealand," Bret added.
That didn't stop them. The chants kept coming.
"Business Time!"
"I love you Jemaine!"
"Bring it, Bret!"
"Shush," Jemaine said. "What did we say about the notes?"
"That's no way to talk to your friends," Bret said.
"You're making it hard to concentrate," Jemaine said at one point. "This is our first show of the tour. We've barely got it together."
Shortly thereafter, Jemaine apologized, tongue in cheek, for getting snippy toward the audience. Which did nothing to stop the screams.
"Doggy Bounce!"
"You guys have a completely different setlist than us," McKenzie said.
To be fair, the same could be said of the band. There were setlists taped to the stage, but the duo seemed to abandon them midway through the show. There were stretches between songs where they mulled what to play next. Even when the band did pick a song, there were slipups. Clement dropped the lyrics to a few songs, including If You're Into It.
And then there was Carol Brown. A lovely bossa nova ode to ex-girfriends in the vein of 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, the song requires Clement to play a complicated electronic instrument that looks a bit like a miniature boogie board covered in knobs. It's also got a drawn-out fermata**** near the end of each chorus, which is supposed to go: "Carol Brown just took the bus out of townnnnn ... but I'm hoping that you'll stick around."
Here's what happened Monday:
Bret and Jemaine: "Carol Brown just took the bus out of townnnnn ... "
That Guy: "Australia!"
Bret and Jemaine: (lose the beat and have to stop the song)
Bret: "Good one. Look what we did. Security? Security?"
Now see here. Shouting "Australia!" at a band from New Zealand, especially a band that pokes fun at Australia-New Zealand relations on its TV show, is bad enough form in its own right. To do so in the middle of any song is just insulting. To do so in the middle of a song like Carol Brown is flat-out sadistic.
So yeah, things got a little weird. The band knew it, and they knew it was affecting the gig. After a brief, ad-libbed performance of the Flight of the Conchords theme, Bret told the fans: "Well, that must have reminded you of being at home, watching TV. The TV show is more reliable."
"If I was a reviewer," Jemaine said, "I'd say this show was meandering."
"Inconsistent," added Bret.
Duly noted, gentlemen. And it's worth noting that the consensus opinion I heard from fans leaving the venue was overwhelmingly positive. Mishaps aside, Flight of the Conchords are the most legitimate comedic rock stars since Spinal Tap, and songs like Business Time, Think About It, and Hurt Feelings killed. Totally worth the price of admission, and then some, even if we did have to put up with That Guy.
And besides, not all the fans were total That Guys. Check out the Tough Brets: From left, USF students Matt Ferrara, Brittanie Drinosky, Sarah Coit and Liz Hubbs.
Fearsome though they were, the Tough Brets couldn't hold a candle to 9-year-old Nicholas Plummer of Tampa.
The humans are dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead!
Next up on the 50-50 Club: Lady Gaga, Tuesday night at the Ritz Ybor.
-- Jay Cridlin, tbt*
* As I know from my many years on the rock 'n roll highway.
** Please watch your toes, as I seem to be dropping names all over the place.
*** Full disclosure: Last fall, TBPAC also hosted Carlos Mencia.
**** Oh, yes: I took band.

Carrie Fisher steps out in groovy outfit and boots
Since making headlines with shocking revelations about her Star Wars years back in the 1970s, Carrie Fisher has not been hiding from the public eye. In fact, she has been spotted out and about. This time, she was seen heading to her book signing for new memoir The Princess Diarist in New York City on Monday.
Fisher looked sharp in a tweed hat. She added a splash of colour with a colourful scarf that stood out against her dark coat.
Look at her boots! They have colourful trims. Fisher wore a bright lipstick which brightened her look. The 60-year-old carried a plastic cup in one hand as she arrived to Strand Books in the Big Apple.
Recently, Fisher revealed she asked to lose weight before appearing in 1977's Star Wars.
Asked by The Late Show host Stephen Colbert if she was told she had to shed the pounds before filming, she said: "They did … they always do. They want to hire part of me, not all of me. So they want to hire about three fourths … so I have to get rid of the fourth somehow."

As soon as Josh Barnett signed with the UFC this was a fight that I knew would be made. It just makes too much sense - two ex-champs, pretty good on the feet, and awesome on the ground. They are like mirror images. I want to guess a draw would happen because I am having so much trouble deciding, but I will predict that Barnett gets himself in trouble with a takedown. Mir wins it by 2nd round submission, likely an armbar. Mandatory Credit: Tom Szczerbowski-US PRESSWIRE
Once again, the UFC has put together a pretty awesome card for Labor Day Weekend. While the preliminary card lacks a little luster, I am very excited about every single fight on the main card. I am going to limit my predictions to the fights that are televised and do my best to predict what will happen this weekend. Here is how I think UFC 164 will go down.

|Trail in and out of Jamestown is in good shape and well marked. I believe it also has blue survey tape marking it. As you hike in, you will reach the SCC kiosk. Head left along the cliffline to reach the Harvest Wall. This is prime Jamestown season, y'all need to get out there and check it out. Plus there are some new route additions out there.

|This place is awesome. Really fun trad routes, most are slightly less than vertical which is great for trad leaders who don't like placing gear while pumped. I just wish the entire cliff were open, the climbing is truly awesome.

|FYI: The crown of a large tree has fallen into the main road. The road is impassable about 200 meters past the first gate you pass through. We spent 3 hours this morning cutting branches with small (4" leatherman) hand saws, but ultimately couldn't make it through the last two 5" diameter branches. Since there is nowhere to park, the crag isn't accessible until someone goes out there with a larger (18"+) hand saw or chain saw and an A-frame ladder; the two remaining branches are about 7' off the ground, but drop down into the narrow road. Make sure all branches end up on our side of the fence!
By BirminghamBen
From: Birmingham, AL

Rest assured, the owner of the road will clear the branches soon. Not to worry.
You can always park at the top, one road up the mountain, about three miles down, under the power lines. Walk back up the road a tad, then down the hill to the prominent pine tree with rappel slings. Rappel here, over the Winter Wall....Wild Iris vicinity.
This is the easier way to get in, anyway. And, it avoids the farm below.
EDITED TO ADD: Thanks, Scott. Y'all do a good job keeping up with JT. Keep up the good work.

|Went there this morning and cut the tree down and dragged the pieces off the road. The landowner heard my chainsaw and drove down while we were working. He said he didn't know a tree had fallen and thanked us for taking care of it. The rest of the road is in great shape.

Read all the guitar lesson reviews you want to. I realize that may be why you are here. I am a guitar teacher, and specialize in children wanting private guitar lessons, which can be accomplished in person, or by webcam. So, what is the difference between guitar chords that are played by a child on a guitar, and lets say, an adult with small hands reaching for a guitar chord? Not much, small hands are small hands, except a childs hands may grow larger. The bottom line on guitar size is relative to hand size.
Hand size won't stop you from becoming a good guitar player, but the wrong sized guitar may contribute to frustration and failure.
Modern technology allows one to buy guitar lessons for beginners with easy chords, specifically for people with small hands. One thing the old lady and myself both agree on is that everyone should play the guitar.
So, we gave an inexpensive beginners, or smaller sized guitars as presents to our nieces and nephews.
On our most recent trip to visit up north, we got to see one of our nieces that we gave a 3/4 sized Strat look alike to. She is 6 years old and likes to perform, dance, sing, draw and do magic. While watching her play, I had what you might call an epiphany. What I noticed was that she did not have a problem remembering basic guitar chords, but she did have a problem forcing her fingers around the neck into the proper positions on the neck of the guitar. Simply put, her problem was hand size and not smarts. she reads tabs already.
With that in mind finding a method of education for a child is paramount in the success of learning to play guitar. After plenty of time looking at online guitar lessons, this particular course has terrific guitar lessons for beginners, and people with small hands or children, on 20 dvds with an excellent guitar lesson book. My preference is for video guitar lessons, check all of the recommend ones out and make your best decision.
My point is that lots of adults are small people and don't have regular full sized hands. They may have a ton of experience, yet never actually played a guitar that fit them well. >That is the difference between a beginner with full sized hands and an experienced guitar player who is not large enough to play a big guitar. Putting it in terms you understand, 'beginners' chords and 'children's' chords are different. If you are not comfortable when you play the guitar, than it is nearly impossible to get the results one may obtain by practicing effectively.
The basis of calling certain chords 'children's chords' is centered on the size of ones hands and the ability to play a comfortable guitar that one can execute properly the material that they want to play. So, realistically speaking, I'm interested in providing easy chords that sound great and are less complicated inversions of the mandatory basic chords mentioned in this article.
It's very elementary, it's is a reflection of hand size, not ability. There are lots of smaller sized guitars available that have every bit the tone and quality of full sized guitars.
Talent level has nothing to do with your physical size. Essentially, what GPC is advocating is playing chords that a small person can comfortably position their hands for,… Note: as a 'beginner' progresses and gets used to using their hands in this manner than more advanced stage three chords can be achieved... Being comfortable and relaxed is part of the discipline of playing the guitar. A smaller person will benefit too by being more comfy while holding the proper sized instrument.
Perhaps to many kids start playing a guitar that is too big, therefore causing frustration and pain to set in. Realistically speaking, too big of a guitar is just as big of a hurdle to cross as not being taught the correct beginners guitar chords. Choose your guitar and teacher wisely.
Guitar Players Center has plenty of high quality guitar lesson reviews that cover guitar chords for all, including people and kids with small hands. We hope you follow the text links and find out how much fun and personal gratification comes from playing the guitar.

President Jealous, George Clooney, Others Arrested During Protest at Sudanese Embassy
UPDATE: President Jealous was released from jail this afternoon after being charged with civil disobedience for protesting at the Sudanese Embassy.
NAACP President & CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous was arrested on March 16 in a protest outside of the Sudanese Embassy. The protest was in support of the country of Sudan, whose President, Omar al-Bashir, has issued a blockade on food and humanitarian aid.
The protest aimed at bringing international to Sudan's crisis. Also arrested at the protest were actor and activist George Clooney, Reps. Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Jim Moran (D-VA), United to End Genocide President Tom Andrews, activist Martin Luther King III, Jewish Council for Public Affairs President Rabbi Steve Gutow, and ENOUGH co-founder John Prendergast. The group was arrested for civil disobedience in light of their protest against the Sudanese governments' actions against innocent civilians in South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
Half a million people in Sudan face starvation as a result of al-Bashir's actions.
More than one hundred activists joined President Jealous, the NAACP and other activists in protest of Sudan's human rights crisis.

This week Age UK was voted 'Charity of the Year' at the 'Dods Charity Champions Awards' held at the Speaker's House in the Palace of Westminster.
The award, voted for by members from both the House of Commons and House of Lords, recognises charities who they feel deserve recognition for their successful campaigning work in Parliament.
Age UK was nominated by Margot James MP in recognition of a year that saw significant campaigning successes for the charity including the implementation of its General Election priorities (the end of forced retirement and re-indexing of the state pension to earnings). Key entitlements for older people were also protected in the Autumn Spending Review and cuts to adult social care were minimised.
Andrew Harrop, Director of Policy & Public Affairs at Age UK, who accepted the award, said:
'We are incredibly honoured to receive such a prestigious award in our first year. In the last twelve months Age UK has achieved some real successes in our campaigning work to improve the lives of people in later life.
'This year is throwing up equally weighty issues, from the social care crisis to the unfair changes to the women's state pension age. We look forward to continuing to work closely with parliamentarians to face these challenges head on.'
Now in its eighth year, the Dods Charity Champion Awards provide a platform for the voluntary sector to pay tribute to parliamentarians. The awards help charities get their voices heard in the political arena with the aim of improving places and lives.

Raia, Assembly Minority Win Fight To Secure Civil Confinement
Long fight by Assembly Minority secured agreement
March 1, 2007
Assemblyman Andrew Raia (R,C,I,WF-East Northport) today announced that after many long years a bipartisan agreement on civil confinement has been reached. The agreement comes on the eve of the fourteenth anniversary of the first proposal by the Assembly Minority Conference. "Through a long-standing fight for the safety of our families, my Assembly Minority colleagues and I have made this agreement a reality," Raia said. "The families in our community who have been vital in this important fight should know that today marks a major victory in our ongoing mission to keep our neighborhoods safe from dangerous sexual predators." Under the agreement, the most dangerous sex offenders will be confined in a secure mental health facility following their prison sentence if screening panels of mental health officials deem them a threat to society. Additional initiatives contained in the agreement include:
- Establishment of a new state Office of Sex Offender Management that will coordinate all areas related to sex offenders and victim assistance. Duties of the office include post release supervision, treatment, monitoring, risk assessment, civil commitment, community awareness and victim assistance
- Allow judges the option to impose intensive supervision as an alternative to civil confinement
- Strengthens criminal penalties for sex offenders and broadens the category of sexual offense to include crimes motivated by sexual violence

I got this as a sample with my last Blue Raven Tea order, and I'm a little bummed I can't seem to find it on her website, because this is a pretty tasty tea (and I seem to really like spiced coconut teas) It's also attractive with big chucks of cinnamon, flowers, and full shreds of coconut.
The spice mixture is the primary focus on the sip here and has a nice bite to it, I get the cinnamon primarily, but also tulsi, cardamom and maybe some vanilla. The coconut hits after you swallow and lingers there until the next sip when the spices get you again. I find myself wishing I had some coconut milk on hand to add, because I think that would elevate this tea to another level.
Any recommendations on other Coconut Chais to try?
