This is the weekend where we examine the impact great fathers have made upon history. From the Bible, where the landscape is littered with the actions of fathers. Who could forget the long walk Abraham and his son took in Genesis? Adam, the first father, raised a fine bunch of stand-up children. And what about the Big Father himself -- Jesus' daddy -- who sent him on an all-important mission?
Charlie Lawson of Stokes County, North Carolina, probably never got his fair share of Father's Day ties. Without the seed Marvin Gaye Sr., we would never have experienced the sweet soulful sounds of such hits as "Sexual Healing" or "I Heard it Through the Grapevine." And who wouldn't want to be adopted by Woody Allen?
But even if your father is a dick, there's still reason to celebrate Father's Day this year. Remember the end of Return of the Jedi, where after years and years of Darth Vader acting like an asshole, he still lent Luke a hand (no pun intended) when he needed it most. And after Rick Moranis both shrunk and blew up the kids, did he or did he not seek and find the antidote to return them to normal with no body count? And on Game of Thrones, even though Dad is absolutely shitty to his midget son and incestuous other children, doesn't he risk life and limb to repel the forces of Stannis Baratheon, the one true king?
Of course, those instances are from fiction, but it's only one day per year and, nine times out of ten, he's not asking for much. Just give him a beer and some raw meat and let him be. And if that doesn't do it, give the bastard what he really needs....
10. "It Hurts Your Daddy Bad" by The Reverend Horton Heat
I know what you are thinking: why on Earth would I want to hurt my daddy? But I encourage you to stop and consider this question very carefully. Think. Go back as far as your cognizant memory will allow. If you're like me, you've mentally blocked out several of the reasons. See a shrink (or two) if you need to. Hypnotherapy can get most of that out. Write a book. If you have to, use the journals you've been keeping since junior high. Close your eyes and remember. Got it now? That's step one. Step two: wait patiently. He will not be bigger than you forever. Bide your time...
9. "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" by Eartha Kitt
One of my lifelong goals is to learn to play this song on the guitar and serenade my father. Because, after all, he made me this way. This song combines two of my favorite passions: sultry music and daddy issues. And trust me, if it weren't for Daddy Issues, I'd never get laid.
8. "Mama and Papa Hopkins" by Lightnin' Hopkins
One of the greatest bluesmen of all time has a knack for getting autobiographical. Here he paints a picture of a night of discord in his childhood family home in which he schools his own family that they "never get too old to learn." You hear that, Dad?
7. "Papa Don't Preach" by Madonna
Papa Don't Preach by Madonna and "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister
Ah, a twin bill. This one is for both the angry boys and girls from the iconic 1980s (plenty of consideration was given to Captain Lou Albano's riveting performance in "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"). These two songs allowed Gen-Xers to stick it to their daddys via music video, that is, until he came in and told you it was time to turn off the TV and go to bed.
6. "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" by The Temptations
If you are like me, you can't withstand the sound of a belt slipping through belt loops without severe episodes of PTSD. But there is something to be said for the catharsis provided by a song about a man who grows up to discover his father is a dick. That's right Dad, I said catharsis. Ask Mom where the dictionary is and get cracking.
5. "Mom and Dad's Waltz" by Willie Nelson
The Poet Laureate of Texas was more well-known for singing about Mommas than Daddys, so it's no surprise that he sneaks her into this song. But perhaps that's why Daddys all across the Lone Star State love Willie, who once said "99% of the people in the world did not end up with their first loves, and that's what keeps the jukeboxes spinning." That quote has nothing at all to do with Father's Day... or does it?
4. "Papa Ain't Salty" by Doug Sahm
If you haven't heard of Doug Sahm or the Sir Douglas Quintet yet, then this is your true Father's Day present. Enjoy the hell out of it. But another item to examine is how interchangeable the word "Daddy" and "Papa" is, or isn't. Like explored with "Momma" and "Mama" in an earlier post, there exists an innate sexuality in the word "Daddy" that isn't necessarily there with "Papa." How many times have you boys landed a girl by telling her to "Come to Daddy" or telling her, "Oh yes, that's what Daddy likes... right there?" It happens. But in music, artists tend to lean toward Papa, with Papas in song being either "Aggravatin'," "Easy Ridin'," "Eagle Ridin'," "Kansas City," "Pig Meat," "Pistol Packin'," "Do Right" or "Sweet." But whatever it takes, just understand that within every woman, no matter how beautiful she is, there is a Daddy Issue somewhere deep down inside just waiting to be explored. So slap on some old spice, rinse your mouth with bourbon and Pall Malls and get your weekend started. And remember to tell her, "Daddy wants some eggs and bacon in the morning."
3. "Had a Dad" by Jane's Addiction
Fathers everywhere: If you want your child to be successful, you must run out on them. Sticking around will never do any child with artistic inclinations any favors. So step out for a beer, cigarette, whatever you have to do because a writer's life is hard enough as it is.
2. "The Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics
I should be ashamed for including this tear-jerker, but not everyone is fortunate enough to still have their fathers around to pick on and jack with. Some of them never got to experience their fathers' senses of humor evolving like I did. Perhaps Father's Day isn't a laughing matter and for them, I offer this video because it will help get it all out.
1. "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash
If you're like me and you get most of your facts from Hollywood biopics, then you know from Walk the Line that Johnny Cash's father was a dick. And you also know Johnny Cash was no saint to his own kids. Way to keep it going. But if you're like me, you've written long songs about fighting your father. However, if you're like me, then your father wrestles cows for a living and can probably still whip you so you're forced to move halfway across the country to talk shit. So send him a tie or forward this playlist to him or, better yet, this year get him what he's always wanted: a paternity test.
Oh, and PS Dad: Just kidding. Happy Father's Day.

- Firefly on Paradise
3900 Paradise Rd; Las Vegas
(702) 369-3971
If you're not quite sure what you're in the mood for, Firefly can either help you or hinder you. With an amazing selection of tapas to choose from, the Spanish-themed restaurant is warm and relaxing with dark wood tables, dimmed lighting and huge windows with a great view. Start with some sangria and then choose from steak and mushroom skewers, paella, mushroom tarts, artichoke toast and much more. Or, if you can't choose, the staff will be more than happy to help. Top the meal off with the sensual banana and Nutella dessert – it's to die for!
- The Peppermill Fireside Lounge
2985 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas
(702) 735-4177
Easily at the top of many locals' list of romantic restaurants, the Peppermill offers a cozy, dark atmosphere with mirrored walls, plush booths and a bubbling pool of "fire" inside their Fireside Lounge. Enjoy drinks at an average price of $5 (make sure you try the mai tai!) and a meal that, while a bit pricey, will leave you satisfied.
- Vintner Grill
10100 W Charleston Blvd Ste 150; Las Vegas
(702) 214-5590
Whether you're in the mood for dinner under the stars in a patio cabana or prefer lunch inside the dining room with old black and white classics on the flat screen TVs, Vintner Grill offers a one-of-a-kind atmosphere perfect for cozying up to your significant other while enjoying some free-range chicken, prime beef tenderloin, or fresh seafood and salad.
- The Melting Pot
8704 West Charleston Blvd; Las Vegas
(702) 384-6358
While the choice of entrees can be a little confusing and seemingly set up to make a wrong choice in meats and marinade combos (don't dip the teriyaki beef into the bleu cheese, for example), the desserts can't be beat. Each cozy booth is outfitted with fondue pots in the middle of the table and filled with broths and oils for cooking, cheese for dipping, and then chocolate to dip fresh fruit, pound cake, brownies and even cheesecake.[/br]
- Claim Jumper
1100 S. Ft. Apache Road; Las Vegas
(702) 243-8751
The Wild West is alive and well in Las Vegas! From the saloon-style bar to the dining area equipped with a pulley system for the ceiling fans, the amount of detail in the California Gold Rush theme provides an ambiance of excitement. It's one of the few restaurants I don't have just one favorite meal at – everything from the pot roast to the steak to the chili is delicious. Make sure you take in a movie before eating because you're almost guaranteed to have leftovers to take home. And if you're too full from dinner you can get a slice of their famous Chocolate Motherlode Cake to go.[/br]
- In-N-Out Burger
Multiple locations
Sure, it's fast food, but your date won't mind if it's at this popular Las Vegas burger joint. With seven locations around the valley, In-N-Out Burger is well-known for the fresh (and real!) high-quality ingredients in their affordable, simple menu of hamburgers, fries and shakes. The drive-thru is a little faster than dine-in, but the restaurants are clean and well-staffed. In-N-Out is perfect for a fast bite before a show or movie.

Tune in to Fox News on Thursday night at 9/8c — and follow along right here on Indecision and on our Twitter feed @TheInDecider — as we watch eagerly to ascertain which candidate can most effectively blame President Obama for our recent credit rating downgrade, our financial crisis, the rise of superbugs, the declining quality of the cinnamon raisin bagels at that deli down the street, and that weird clicking noise that maybe is coming from the DVD player but might also be originating somewhere inside the vents.

Would it be possible however to incorporate into the analytics / statistics page a statistic that show us at least which country the purchases were made in? Or a different page altogether that just lists each song, and gives a breakdown of the number of sales and countries.
I am not going to bore you all with the reasons why I think this would be beneficial to us, so for now I would like to know if this can be considered for a future update.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Pentagon says Rhode Island could be facing about $34.1 million in Defense Department civilian payroll cuts if automatic government spending cuts kick in March 1.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Congress on Wednesday if a budget deal isn't reached, he may have to shorten the workweek for the "vast majority" of the Defense Department's 800,000 civilian workers. They'd lose one day of work per week, or 20 percent of their pay, for up to 22 weeks, probably starting in late April.
The Pentagon's budget chief, Robert Hale, told reporters in Washington the economic impact would be felt nationwide.
Pentagon figures show its civilian payroll in Rhode Island for the 2012 fiscal year was $403 million, and about $368.9 million for 2013.
The biggest potential civilian payroll losses would be in Virginia, California, Maryland, Texas and Georgia.Tags:

Question: What is slow-witted, eats grass and says "moo" without a teleprompter?
Answer: Obama riding on a cow
This president is determined to become the butt of stupid jokes. Just when you think maybe he finally has act together he has to go and give a "major address" which turns out to be a major policy blunder. In case you didn't catch it, he told the world and Israel that they should accept the boundaries from 1967 for the creation of a Palestinian state.
How would you like if the president of Israel announced that it was the policy of their country that our borders should be adjusted back to 1861 so that the South could stand up as its own free state? OK, some would like that, but I'm pretty sure most wouldn't. Or what if the president of Mexico declared that we should revert back to the borders prior to 1848 (where we'd lose Arizona, Nevada, California, Utah, New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Wyoming)? Or if the president of France said the borders should go back to 1802 before the Louisiana Purchase (where we'd lose 15 states across the middle)? Or if Russia decided that Seward's Folly was their own and decided our borders should be drawn to 1866. Or the Japanese decided to side with Hawaiian secessionists?
We wouldn't particularly take to kindly to some outsider telling us we should redo our borders, especially when we'd be left with a much smaller country with much less access to natural resources. And, if all the scenarios above played out, where would liberals go to for warm beaches?
Yet Obama has the gall to tell the Israelis they should change their borders to accommodate the Palestinians. Maybe he should worry about the United States and our own history, before trying to play the role of Middle East Cupid. Despite how taken he is with himself, with his level of political acumen, he's not going to get the Palestinians and Israelis to get along. But he is going to be a great punch line for a lot of new jokes.

SERVERS WITH 64-bit silicon and operating systems have been available for some time, but the lack of applications that fully support those configurations is hindering some users in their attempts to run fully 64-bit systems.
For new servers, "we try and use x64 [chips] everywhere we can," says Mike Salins, senior system engineer at The Interpublic Group of Companies Inc., an organization of advertising agencies headquartered in New York City. But whether the firm installs the traditional 32-bit Windows 2003 Server or the x64 edition depends on the application software. "Sixty-four-bit application support is still lacking quite severely," says Salins.
The applications that do run on 64-bit Windows operating systems perform much better than they would on the same hardware running the 32-bit version. "Two times is a reasonable performance claim," says Salins, largely because 64-bit's expanded memory space lets the application work mostly out of super-fast cache. The amount of cache you can install in a system is also greater.
In the storage software space, a number of vendors have announced Windows Server 2003 x64 support recently, including Acronis' Disk Director; Double-Take Software; Winternals Software's Recovery Manager 3.0; and XOsoft, with WANsync and WANsyncHA 4.0, both of which do host-based replication.
In the past couple of months, demand for fully 64-bit compatible software has shot up, says Bob Roudebush,
"In the first 12 months of 64-bit computing," says Roudebush, "it was mainly high-end workstations and gamers" who required 64-bit support. But in the past several months, some server vendors have begun shipping servers with 64-bit versions of Windows 2003 Server instead of 32-bit, which has sent IT shops scrambling to find compatible software, he says.
In theory, Windows x64 can run 32-bit applications, but Salins is leery of that claim. "That's the theory. In reality, the software vendor may say that they don't support it," he notes.
Other storage applications that support Windows 2003 Server x64 include CommVault's Galaxy; EMC's NetWorker; and Symantec's Veritas Storage Foundation, Veritas Storage Foundation HA and Veritas NetBackup.
As a whole, probably less than half of all storage applications support 64-bit, says David Aschmann, XOsoft's product manager. "Fifty percent is a liberal estimate," he says.
But most industry observers expect the demand for and development of 64-bit applications to speed up dramatically, especially now that Microsoft has announced that it will move most of its forthcoming software releases to 64-bit only, starting with Exchange Server 2007. "About six months ago, we'd get a request here and there," says an EMC spokesperson. "It's picked up of late, but still isn't something we would call heavy demand yet."

Florida Man Receives 46 Months in Prison for Role in Florida Timeshare Resale Telemarketing Scam
Stephen R. Wigginton, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, announced today that Ralph Edward Johnson, 34, of Wellington, Florida, was sentenced today in federal court in East St. Louis to 46 months imprisonment, and given two (2) years supervised release to be served after he is released from prison. The sentencing was the result of his September 8, 2011, plea of guilty to an information charging him with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud for his role in a telemarketing scam. The charge followed a lengthy investigation by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
This is one of several prosecutions arising out of a Florida based telemarketing scam operating under the name Universal Marketing Solutions and Creative Vacation Solutions targeting owners of timeshares throughout the United States. The information alleges that Johnson was a telemarketer for Creative Vacation Solutions and that he bilked approximately 141 victims of approximately $282,155.58. In previous court filings related to the Universal Marketing Solutions/Creative Vacation Solutions scam, the government has alleged that the overall scam bilked over 22,000 victims of $30 million dollars. Previous court filings have also alleged that the scam victimized consumers in all fifty states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, all ten Canadian provinces and the Northwest Territory of Canada. There were at least 54 victims in twenty eight (28) of the thirty eight (38) counties comprising the Southern District of Illinois.
The criminal information filed against Johnson alleged that telemarketers for Creative Vacation Solutions placed cold calls to timeshare owners and then falsely represented that their company had actual buyers for the owners' timeshare property. Telemarketers then solicited advanced fees of up to several thousand dollars from each victim in purported closing costs that they promised would be refunded to the owner once the closing on the property occurred. Many timeshare owners were told that their closings were scheduled within the next sixty to ninety days. Despite collecting fees from 22,000 victims, these companies were not successful in selling a single timeshare unit, the information alleged. The defendants and their co-conspirators, the information alleged, simply pocketed the closing costs.
The criminal information alleged that Johnson participated in the scheme during 2009. Other court filings allege that the larger scheme operated between 2007 and 2010.
On June 30, 2011, Jennifer Kirk, alleged to be a principal of both companies, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud for her role in the alleged scam. Her sentencing is scheduled for January 9, 2012 in East St. Louis. On August 17, 2011, a federal grand jury charged Ryan Brazel, Brian Morris and Steve Folan in a multi-count indictment for their alleged involvement in the alleged scheme. Folan pled guilty on November 17, 2011. His sentencing is set for March 9, 2012 in East St. Louis. Ralph Johnson entered a guilty plea to conspiracy charges filed in a criminal information on September 8, 2011 and his sentencing is scheduled for December 16, 2011 in East St. Louis. On September 21, 2011, Kenneth Foote and Joseph Grizzanti were indicted by a federal grand jury in East St. Louis. On October 7, 2011, each filed a consent to transfer their case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in order to plead guilty to the charges there. Jeffrey Tracey Fields was charged with conspiracy in a criminal information on October 25, 2011. He filed a consent to transfer his case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in order to plead guilty to the charges there. On August 18, 2011 Joel Intravaia pled guilty to a one count information for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud. On December 9, 2011, he was sentenced to 60 months imprisonment, three years supervised release, and 150 hours of community service.
This case follows an investigation by the St. Louis Field Office of the Chicago Division of the United States Postal Inspection Service which was assisted by the Boynton Beach (Florida) Police Department and the Florida Attorney General's office. The prosecution of the case is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce E. Reppert.

Excel Geekness
Every once in a while I go geek. I don't apologize for it. It's been a fixpoint in my life since I was old enough to crawl under the coffee table and push the big buttons on our bulbous and bright red 70s TV set.
The TV finally broke (NOT my fault), but the habit didn't.
This time around it happened with Excel. I'm not the biggest Excel fan out there, but I needed to make a TCO calculation and basically wanted Excel to do two things for me:
- Distribute project costs over multiple years based on project-timeline.
- Distribute operational costs over multiple years based on how many years were between each payment.
Geeked out yet?
Lo and behold, all I could find online was that this was impossible. You could do nifty macros, you could color every other row, you could sum every Nth row, but if you had an invoice coming in every 3 years and wanted a generic way to get yearly budgets N years in the future, you were basically s… out of luck.
So I did this:
For distributing project costs over n years:
IF(AND(YEAR($startdate)=$currentyear;YEAR($enddate)=$currentyear); $projectcost; IF(AND(YEAR($startdate)=$currentyear;YEAR($enddate)>$currentyear); $projectcost/($enddate-$startdate)* (DATE($currentyear+1;1;1)-$startdate); IF(AND(YEAR($startdate)<$currentyear;YEAR($enddate)>$currentyear); $projectcost/($enddate-$startdate)*365; IF(YEAR($enddate)=$currentyear; $projectcost/($enddate-$startdate)* ($enddate-DATE($currentyear;1;1));0))))
I break the project cost down to a cost-per-day , and then distribute it over the years based on how many project days there are in each year.
The first IF is to determine if the start and end-date is within the same year, and the next three are to differentiate the first year from a "middle" year and the last year as each of these calculations are slightly different. Pretty straightforward.
For projecting operational costs with n years between them
IF($recurrence<>0; ROUNDDOWN((-(MOD(($currentyear-YEAR($startdate));$recurrence)) +$recurrence)/$recurrence;0)*$cost;)
This one is a little more complex and was the one I couldn't find anywhere. The first half figures out if the time from the startyear to currentyear divided by the recurrence is a whole number (i.e. that it's time to pay). If it is, it creates a 1, and then I just multiply that with the cost.
Now I don't pretend to be an Excel wizard in any sense of the word, so don't ask me technicalities about why I used one function instead of another. All I had was some very helpful colleagues who were excellent guides into Excel-syntax and once I understood most of how it worked, the rest sort of came on its own .
So if you can use it, feel free to share and use it as much as you like. I've attached an example of the whole thing working. Just play around with the input and try adding as many years as you like to see how it works.
Good luck

Is your Smartphone killing your Dads job in IT?
It has been obvious for some time that the revolution of IT is fundamentally changing businesses.
At one end normal people, like you and me, are buying increasing numbers of personal gadgets, bringing them to work, and using them as a central part of our working life. Along with our Gmail, Facebook, and other social services, they are an interface to an online presence that is no longer just a fun time-waster, but an essential part of our social- and knowledge- nervous system.
With our online gadgets we are legion, without them we are merely individuals, and the IT department that used to run your PC for you are finding themselves with an increasing challenge of figuring out, whether to just let loose and allow everybody to bring their own devices, or to implement some heavy-handed Device Management and not allow any data outside their control.
At the other end of the spectrum, the huge mainframes and IT infrastructure that used to power companies are slowly but surely being challenged too. Running IT is fundamentally ruled by the same volume dynamics that we've known since the industrial revolution: The bigger the data-center and the more people you service, the better the price-performance.
It used to be that every company, no matter how small, had an IT guy responsible for running servers. Whether it was just one server under a desk or a few in a closet, you needed something people could log into, share files, and work from.
Not so today. Today, smaller companies are increasingly doing what we as individuals have been doing for years: buying all of these services online. Dropbox, Amazon S3, Office 365, etc. are all services where you can get a better service for much lesser cost simply because it is much cheaper to run things like that if you're doing it for millions of people instead for 5-6 people in a small office.
And as this phenomenon, normally called Cloud computing, is maturing and becoming more and more pervasive, it is moving up in the world. It started with the simpler services, like e-mail and online collaboration, causing even Fortune100 companies and governments to start moving these services into the cloud to get savings, but now even old complex mainframe vendors are starting to offer their systems through the Cloud too because they can do it at lesser cost than even major companies can do on their own.
So where does that leave your Dad's IT department?
The main job of an IT department used to be running the infrastructure, the servers, and the PCs that everybody uses, but the infrastructure is in the cloud, the servers are soon to follow, and you've brought your own device.
In other words, it is foreseeable that IT departments will become merely procurement-experts, buying the services that the company needs without running anything, and that the task of ensuring security will be managed through corporate policies like: "make sure your device is backed up in the corporate cloud, can be remotely wiped, and is encrypted" etc.
So yes, unless your Dad works in a company that is running IT for others, it is in fact likely that your Smartphone is killing off his job, his department, and the entire role that IT departments used to have in companies.
But as with all changes driven by cultural and social progress, it is not something to feel guilty or sad about. It just is, and that is as it should be.

Would you like me to pass them to you. I don't mind managing them, but unlike some folks here I'm not into just collecting memorials. Thanks for the input.
I was actual there today looking for;
Elanore, Matilda, william, and Eliza.
However I did not find them.
I want to check with the church and see if they have any records. This graveyard is like 0.5 mi from my house.

Great dish. My boss has traveled the country and says these were the best he'd had. I added personal seasonings to the VERY FINELY crushed chips. Black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and a dash of nutmeg. Cooked the scallops at 425 until they weren't opaque any longer. Broiled to turn the chips on top golden. Delish!! Thanks.

I'm new to allrecipies. I am also alone since my husband passed and I like to eat. So I went looking for recipes - easy and for one - and discovered allrecipies. I love the fact that we can get a scaling version of each recipe and was very interested in this particular recipe because there are only two ingredients and it's super easy. I used Cape Cod Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper Potato Chips (my favorite) and this was so good. You can't beat super easy and super tasty. Thanks littleone for sharing this recipe.
laurie and andy
The only saving grace of this dish is that it's scallops, which are pretty tasty by themselves. My girlfriend (this account) asked why I was abusing the poor scallops with the potato chips.

Bruins' Kelly, Peverley have passed chemistry test, now need production
The Bruins are going to need more than just the single goal they've gotten from Kelly and the two (one shorthanded) Peverley's provided to make the lengthy playoff run the pair of forwards were brought to Boston to extend. Both players acknowledge there has to be more points on the board to make all the intuitive passes and speedy skating they're able to display count for something. Peverley's confident neither he nor Kelly will waste this opportunity to be part of a special experience in Boston.
"I think we're both really excited about the opportunity we have here," he said. "Next week, the real season starts."

UVM receives record number of applicationsThe Associated Press | May 12,2013BURLINGTON The University of Vermont says it received a record number of undergraduate applications 22,378 for fall enrollment this year.
That beat the record 22,365 for the fall of 2009.
Of this years applicants, 17,304 were accepted. Thats about 77 percent, which is roughly the same percentage as last year.
UVM administrators have said they want the percentage to drop to about 60 percent over the next few years, increasing the schools selectivity.
We have just embarked on our strategy to increase selectivity so we didnt expect any real difference this year, said Christopher Lucier, vice president for enrollment management at UVM.
We are confident that the pieces we are putting into place to expand recruiting and marketing will achieve our strategic goals over the next four to five fiscal years, he said.
The states most selective school, Middlebury College, has accepted 19.5 percent of its 8,913 applicants.
A total of 2,144 Vermonters applied to UVM and 1,562, or 73 percent, were accepted.
May 1 is the deadline for students who have gotten in to commit to the school they plan to attend. The target for UVMs entering class is 2,425. Middleburys is 700.
By May 1, UVM had received 2,657 deposits from incoming students, including 627 Vermonters. Middlebury had received 715, including 41 Vermonters.MORE IN This Just InGreen Mountain Power will host a presentation on sustainable building and multiculturalism. Full StoryVt. Gas must stop Full Story

North Hempstead Beach Park in Port Washington was filled with Long Islanders on Saturday morning who were eager to plunge into cold water; between 500 and 700 people are estimated to have taken part in the seventh annual Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics, according to a spokesman.
For Marc Slivka of Adelphi's Phi Sigma Kappa, this is his second time taking the plunge. This dive is bittersweet as it's his senior year and therefore the last time he is doing so for his fraternity.
Two years ago when Slivka previously dove into these waters, the fraternity raised $600. As of Saturday morning, the group had raised $250 for this year, but Slivka said the group will continue to raise money and hopes to get $500.
His fraternity brother Edward Gutteber described the state of the water the last time the group plunged as feeling "like 1,000 knives going into your leg." Despite that, the brothers are back for what Slivka called "a great cause."
The fraternity's charity affiliation is similar to that of the Polar Plunge. Slivka watched a golfer with special needs play alongside an Adelphi golfer two years ago and was struck by how the two were equally good despite one's adversity.
"I want to give back to them so that they can do what they do," Slivka said.
For the four members of the Bikini Bottom Barracudas team -- Steven Heuskin, Matthew Heuskin, Shelby Alanis and Joey Feliciano -- their motivation to plunge is eight-year-old Anthony Lanzarone who has autism.
Maria Heuskin of Bay Shore, who was cheering on the group, said they discussed in the car ride to the event what it would be like in the cold.
"You're suffering for a little while," Heuskin told the people in her car, "but these people live with their disabilities for their lives."
Kerri Abberton of New Hyde Park, has a trick for dealing with the cold -- run in and out relatively quickly. She added that once you're in the water, you're pretty numb.
Another tip is to have bathrobes on the nearby fence to warm up in as well as fuzzy socks and sweatpants, Abberton added. Seat warmers in the car are also helpful, she added.
This is Abberton and her mother Kathy's fourth time taking the plunge. Krystine Abberton has done this six times. For Kathy Abberton, she figured after seeing Krystine do this that, "if she can do it, I can do it."
Fourteen-year-olds Katie Stagnari and Shannon Murphy of Mineola plunged for the first time this year. Murphy was nervous about the cold while Stagnari was "excited to go in." Stagnari looked forward to running and putting her head in the water.
Molloy College students Elizabeth Moulder, Kayla Evanosky and Catherine Russini of Wantagh, West Babylon and Westbury respectively were plunging this year as part of their community service for school. Moulder said the trick is to go in and out quickly.
The amount of money raised at the plunge will be tallied within a few days, a Town of North Hempstead spokesman said.
Update: According to the Town of North Hemsptead, this year's polar plunge raised approximately $70,000.

The Rich Maharashtrian wedding
- Category: Wedding |
- Published on Friday, 06 January 2012 10:55
The wedding is hosted by the family of the bride who consults the groom and his family about any special preferences. Though each community within Maharashtrians follows slighty different traditions, all of them look forward to this day of merrymaking and feasting.
The main deciding factor in arranging a Maharashtrian wedding is the grahas (stars) of the boy and the girl. Once the horoscope is matched, it is given to the respective Brahmins for Gun-Milan (matching points). If sixteen points match, the knot can be tied and the initiation of wedding begins.
Baithak is a meeting of the elder relatives of both the families who decide on various issues regarding the actual muhurat (auspicious time). The engagement ceremony sakharpuda is held a day before the wedding, or on the morning of the wedding day. At this ceremony, the groom's parents gift a sari to the bride as a symbol of acceptance into their family. Her hands are adorned with bangdi (green bangles), symbolizing her engagement. She is also given a pack of sugar, representing the spread of sweetness.
A day before the wedding haldi (turmeric) paste is applied to the bride. In the haldi ceremony for the boy, a group of his female relatives apply haldi on him and douse him with water. This is a ritual meant to shear the groom of shyness. Though not a Maharashtrian custom at all, these days, more and more brides are including a mehendi ceremony in their lead-up to the big day. People in both houses or lagna-ghar, wake-up before dawn, to decorate their homes with fresh flowers.
On the day of the wedding, both the var (groom) and the vadhu (bride) are traditionally dressed. Most Maharashtrian brides get married in an emerald-green or topaz-yellow traditional Shalu (sarees) like Paithani, Puneri. The vadhu is decked with jewellery, gajra or veni (flowers) and brought by her maternal uncle into the pandal. The bride and the groom are made to stand apart, facing each other with garlands in their hands.
Between them is an antarpath, a plain white cloth with a swastika mark made with kumkum (vermillion). Both have karawali where the bride and groom are made to stand (as partners), holding a vessel with water and a coconut. The ceremony continues with the chanting of auspicious shlokas or mantras, with showers of coloured rice to greet the newly wed. They garland each other and the vadhu touches the groom's feet to seek his blessings. This is followed by five married ladies from both the families performing an aarti of the newly weds.
After this, the couple sits down to perform various ceremonies. The ceremony kanyadaan when the bride's father gives her to the groom and the bride is ritually entrusted to the groom who promises to look after bride in a ceremony. The husband guides his wife as she steps on seven little mounds of rice, promising her friendship, love, togetherness, and respect forever.
The bride is vested with several symbols of marriage like the mangalsutra on her neck and the jodvi on her toes. The couple then performs the lajahome with the bride's brothers, where sacrificial cereal and ghee is offered to the sacred fire. All the ceremonies complete, the couple sits down to play various mischievous games, much to the delight of their family and friends.
After the sumptuous banquet, the bridal couple leaves for the groom's home accompanied by both the families. The bride's relatives see her to her new home where she is welcomed as the lakshmi of the house and the newly-weds start their married life showered with blessings of trust, love and longevity.
Post wedding celebrations
Reception: Though this is not a social requirement, many families choose to host a reception to celebrate the wedding and introduce the bride and groom to their friends, family and business associates. This may either be a simple affair, or as elaborate an event as desired, hosted in a hotel or marriage hall, with a live band and gourmet food.
Panch Pavan: This is a wedding feast served on the fifth day after the wedding by the bride's family to the groom and his relatives.

Questions & Answers

I recently wrote a vampire version of Pride and Prejudice. As my book was set in Regency England (1800-1820), even the legend of Dracula could not serve as a basis because Bram Stoker's classic came out in 1897. Therefore, it took me some time to sort out how I wanted to handle the "vampirism" in the book. I was influenced by several other vampire stories over the years.
In Dracula, Stoker really is using Count Dracula as a combined symbol of old world superstitions and modern economic improvements. It was the Victorian era, and the people had many fears, among them the fear of sexuality and the British fear of being conquered by an "outsider." Both are evident in the book. Dracula is a member of the noble class who must mingle with those of a lower class to survive. As far as feminism is concerned, please recall that in Dracula, all vampires are female (except Count Dracula). Vampirism gives them the male trait of being the perpetrator. However, Stoker's vampires bear little resemblance to humans. Dracula, for example, has an insatiable thirst for blood. When he kills, he does so purely to sustain his own existence. He has no guilt or moral qualms about killing. Dracula's immortality imprisons him; he has no companions except those he captures and entraps in his home. A stake or a crucifix or clove garlic are the weapons of choice to be rid of the count, where fire does not affect him.
At one time, I read Anne Rice regularly. We all remember Lestat De Lioncourt, Rice's main character in her Vampire Chronicles. With Lestat, the reader had a different type of vampire. Lestat possessed the human qualities of having a mind and a spirit. We found in him a vampire who did not kill just to kill. The "hunt" was part of the experience. One might find Lestat discussing philosophy or politics. In fact, he has an unusual collection of talents, and we find him to be very passionate. He makes his "lovers" people we might never associate with vampirism (a nun, for example). He seeks friendship from the mortals he turns. Lestat has an eternal soul. Unlike Dracula, Lestat cannot be killed by a stake or a crucifix. Lestat even slept in a church in one of the books. Rice has her vampires killed by fire or by being placed in sunlight, where they ignite into flames.
Vampire legends say that the vampire must be an animated corpse, who claws out of his grave to feed upon human blood. He is dirty and foul-smelling. Yet, the modern vampire is an immortal creature, who retains his youth and lives forever, something very appealing to our youth and sex obsessed culture. He is the eternal bad boy, forever able to indulge in dark desires and sexual urges. The vampire who exhibits self-control is a new phenomenon. Add a bit of compassion, and one has "Twilight." The post 9/11 world does not look favorably on people or beings who hide in plain sight, yet, have the ability to kill us. Therefore, our recent vampires are less likely to be portrayed as monsters. I, seriously, believe that the paranormal literature we are currently experiencing is an aftermath of our youth growing up reading the Harry Potter series. Paranormal books are a more sophisticated fantasy.

What price would you pay for freedom?
In the 1920s, thousands of Catholics in Mexico fought against the government's attempts to eliminate Catholicism during the Cristero War. Let me guess . . . you don't know much about this war? Never heard of it?
Until recently, I was uneducated — embarrassingly clueless. If you're in the same boat, here's the CliffsNotes version of this long-hidden historical event:
Mexico's Cristero War (1926-29) was a grassroots rebellion against the administration of President Plutarco Elias Calles who provoked the Catholic community by arresting priests and forcing the closure of all churches.

The "izzle" or "izzo" lingo was a direct rip-off of influential 80's hip-hop band (real hip-hop not that J-Lo/Ja Rule shyte) U.T.F.O. Now it has become a fun way for normal people to mock the bullshit ghettoization of American culture.

Guys. You need to read this.
(via abaldwin360)
There are tons of problems with the many branches of feminism, but being against "men's rights" is not one of them. I always thought this was extremely obvious for anyone who can manage the smallest amount of critical thinking. But after listening to the things my guy friends think about feminism and knowing that MRAs exist… I guess not?
(via hannahology)
This needs to go around again, particularly with the flood of hate and violence aimed at a woman for daring to speak up at an MRA meeting.
