The New York leg of Rock the Bells was on Governor's Island this year, a breezy late-summer setting that time-warped the crowd into the summer of '94, where street festivals/neighborhood block parties blasted jams and people just kicked it on the frequent. And the line-up was commensurate with the vibe: this year the programming was only about the classics, with artists old, new and older performing their biggest albums in their entirety—Snoop did Doggystyle. Rakim did Paid in Full. Slick Rick did Great Adventures of. Everyone knew the words, and everyone was feeling it, but for New York the main anticipation was for late in the day, with special guest/ long-lost lovely Lauryn Hill.
When Hill finally came on stage, she launched into the hits from Miseducation of, but added a confusing, somewhat depressing selection of new beats to old faves. The set straightened out with a traditional version of "Fu-gee-la," though, during which Mary J Blige, Swizz Beats, Alicia Keys, and Jay-Z made cameo appearances onstage, proving that no matter how long an artist is gone, the bonds of NYC hold strong.
Watch MTV's interview with Hill:
Then A Tribe Called Quest did "Electric Relaxation," obviously:
Those of us from Staten Island hear a lot of jokes about hailing from the forgotten borough—our only claims to fame are, apparently, Italian food and the Wu-Tang Clan. That said, Staten could have no prouder moment than when the Wu-Tang took the stage to do the whole of breakthrough classic Enter the 36 Chambers, with everyone freaking out to "Triumph, "C.R.E.A.M." and all the rest. And just like '94 in the city… no hand went un-"W"-ed.

Are librarians still necessary?
"Sadly, there remain librarians who stand stalwartly at the gates guarding the information, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the walls and fences are gone." David F. Warlick
This is a new age of information. There is a plethora of free-flowing information at all times from many different sources. The Internet is constantly growing and changing and cannot be contained. It makes no sense to try to control who can access what information, only HOW to harness what is important and most relevant to the seeker's needs. Librarians still play an important role in this. They may no longer be in charge of obtaining and releasing the information to others, but maintain the role of guiding information seekers to what they need. With the tidal wave of information available, it can be very overwhelming to users to find what they need. Librarians are instrumental to helping seekers locate, evaluate, and analyze their information sources now more than ever.
Check out this great article regarding these changing roles at The Huffington Post by Steve Haber:
The Changing Role of Libraries in the Digital Age http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-haber/the-changing-role-of-libr_b_803722.html
In this 2013 article by Holly Korbey, she also explores librarians changing, but important role in present and future years.

CLINTON — "Kennedy Envisions An Historic New Era Ahead"
Strung together over the top of the Clinton Herald's page 1A on Nov. 21, 1963, that headline's seven words drew readers into a story detailing President John F. Kennedy's planned two-day, five-city visit to Texas and his administration's New Frontier scientific program.
In a speech prepared for the dedication of the Aerospace Medical Center at Brooks Air Force Base, Kennedy in that day's story said the New Frontier slogan that helped him win the 1960 presidential race was not the exclusive property of either Democrats or Republicans.
"It refers instead," he said, "to this nation's position in history today — to the fact that we stand on the edge of a new era filled with both crises and opportunities, an era to be characterized by both grim challenges and historic achievements."
Just 24 hours later, the Herald's banner headline — Pres. Kennedy Assassinated — announced the death of the 35th president, slain by a bullet to the head while traveling by motorcade in Dallas. The 46-year-old Kennedy lived about an hour after he was shot; he died at Dallas' Parkland Hospital around 1 p.m. that day.
Clinton residents were shocked as they learned of the events unfolding that afternoon — the shooting, the death and the arrest of suspected sniper Lee Harvey Oswald.
Bob Soesbe of Clinton, who is an active member of the Clinton County Historical Society, easily recalls everything from that day — where he was when he heard of the shooting and the news of the death, and even how the weather changed from a sunny morning to an overcast afternoon.
A 37-year-old telephone company employee at the time, Soesbe said his wife, Ethel, had called him at work around 12:30 p.m. to tell him the news. He was on a service call at a Clinton home when the news came over the TV there that Kennedy had died. It left him unable to work, shocked and full of disbelief.

Valpo and North Dakota State Split Pitchers' Duals
Saturday, April 29, 2006Valparaiso's Nick Mazzone (Carol Stream, Ill./Glenbard North H.S.) outdueled North Dakota State's Jake Laber in the opener but the Bison's Ryan Williams got the better of Harvey Yergin (Akron Ohio/Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy) in game two as the Crusaders and North Dakota State split a doubleheader by identical scores of 2-1 on Saturday at Emory G. Bauer Field.
Mazzone went 6.1 innings allowing just seven hits and one run while fanning six to improve to 5-2 on the season with the win in game one.
Valpo used back-to-back pitches to provide the lone offense for the game as Colin Reynolds (Crookston, Minn./Central H.S.) doubled off the left-field wall with two outs in the fourth and Ryan Manthei (Kenosha, Wis./Tremper H.S.) followed with his seventh homer of the year to left for two of the Brown and Gold's four hits in the game.
North Dakota State got a lead-off double from Charles Magedanz in the sixth and used an RBI ground out by Luke Otto to produce the Bison's only run of the game.
Dallas Cawiezell (Long Grove, Iowa/North Scott H.S.) came on to get the game's final two outs in the seventh for his third save of the season for the Crusaders. Laber (1-8) allowed just four hits and one walk while striking out eight in the loss for North Dakota State.
In the nightcap, both starters blanked the opposition through six innings before North Dakota State got back-to-back run-scoring doubles from Greg Plecki and Matt Watson with one out in the top of the seventh.
Valpo tried to rally in the bottom of the ninth, as pinch-hitter Zach Rodeghero (New Lenox, Ill./Providence Catholic H.S.) looped a single into left-center to score pinch-runner Alex Halstead (Brookfield, Wis./Milwaukee Lutheran H.S.) with two outs in the seventh. The Crusaders had runners at second in third before Williams got the game's final out for a complete game victory.
Williams (1-5) scattered just five hits and walked one while striking out six in the win. Yergin (1-7) went 6.2 innings allowing two runs and six hits while whiffing six in the loss.
Valparaiso (12-24) and North Dakota State (6-32) will look to conclude the four-game weekend series on Sunday afternoon with a doubleheader beginning at noon. Both games can be heard live on www.sportsjuice.com.

The cross is a symbol of faith, but lately it's also been a sign of the hip and trendy as cross jewelry and accessories explode in popularity in Fresno.
Crosses in the form of blinged-out ball caps to toe rings are flying off the shelves. Though the Christian-symbol-as-wearable-art has always been popular on traditional necklaces, now stores are selling crosses on bracelets, earrings, key chains, business card holders and hand bags.
There's no way to tell if the products are extra popular in Fresno. And though many customers buy the crosses because they're spiritual people, many buy them because they simply like the look.
The cross turned sideways seems to be leading the trend, showing up on necklaces, bracelets and rings. Julia Vogue, a jewelry store on North Blackstone Avenue near California Pizza Kitchen, sells lots of sideways crosses, some as low as $4.95.
"We couldn't keep them in the stock," when they got popular last fall, says Vannessa Morales, Julia Vogue's assistant manager.
The store sells sideways crosses worked into big gold hoops and large crosses on rosary-style chains. They even have crosses that are a mere three quarters of a centimeter long on "knuckle rings," meant to be worn midway up the finger, for $15.95.
The staff researched the sideways cross and didn't find any special or nefarious meaning, by the way. It just seems to be something celebrities started wearing that took off with the public.
More traditional vertical crosses are popular, too. Orloff Jewelers in Fig Garden has sold them for years and recently added masculine cross pendants on chunky chains for men.
At Couture New York, in Fig Garden Village, customers tend to buy the cross because of its Christian meaning, says Dorothy Juskalian, whose son, Chris Juskalian, owns the store.
They buy them for members of their Bible study groups, for people who are sick or as a birthday gift that has extra meaning.
For Beverly Workman of Visalia, who owns several pieces of cross jewelry, it's all about her faith.
"I wear it for the meaning," she says. "It keeps me thinking in the right direction."
A delicate sideways diamond cross necklace for $900 at Orloff Jewelers caught her eye recently. The store also has similar sideways crosses made from crystal that are more affordable. At $65, those sell very quickly.
The more religious people are, the more subdued a cross they tend to buy, says store owner James Orloff.
"A lot of people that are really sincere about their spirituality are not the people that tell everybody," he says. "Sometimes those people don't wear any type of a symbol like that."
On the other end of the spectrum are the customers who just like the design of the cross and may not be religious at all.
For them — and everyone in between — there's plenty of options to choose from. Stores like Couture New York carry belts with rhinestone crosses on them, even pill boxes with crosses, along with more traditional products.
"Whenever we get a purse that has a cross on it, it sells really quick," says Juskalian of Couture New York.

Stephen Dorff, pal Sofia Coppola (who just gave birth to baby number two!) and her family were snapped at the beach in Porto Ercole, Italy, and when the still hunky 36-year-old actor wasn't lighting up or chugging Coronas, he played with Sofia's precious daughter Romy.
We're not sure why we always seem to snap Stephen on vacay and not on the job, but he did just wrap production on Born To Be A Star, which hits theaters next spring. The comedy was written by Adam Sandler, and it follows a young man from the Midwest moves to Hollywood in order to follow in his parents footsteps and become a porn star. Can't wait to see him showing some skin!
Definitely still a hottie...we can see why that woman dragged him into her house the other day!

A turnaround win for Celtics?
Posted By Paul Flannery On March 14, 2012 @ 4:23 am In General | No Comments
LOS ANGELES – The Celtics were surprised. Who were these guys in Clippers uniforms throwing elbows and getting in their face? Didn't they know that the one thing they were afraid of was a track meet? But hey, if that's how they wanted to play, the guys in green were more than happy to oblige.
"They came out and played out of their character a little bit," Kevin Garnett said. "Tough and rough and whatever and whatever. We watched film a lot on these guys and that was totally uncharacteristic of how they play. They're not known for bar-style. They're more finesse and dunks and all that. We knew what it was. We've been in these types of games countless times and kept our composure for the most part."
It was, as Paul Pierce said later, "Our kind of game."
Monday night was a gut-check for the Celtics. After losing a game they felt like they should have won against their hated rivals, they knew they had to salvage a Staples Center split. But with a depleted frontline and facing their worst kind of game – a back-to-back on the road – against their least favorite kind of team – athletic and fast – the Celtics found themselves in a 95-84 victory.
"We've played two terrific games here," Doc Rivers said. "We played a game Friday night, get on a plane Saturday and play a 1 p.m. game and then another game the next night and play well in both games. That says a lot about the character of the team right now.
"It would have been a total difference if we lost this game. We would have been looking at ourselves saying, 'Man we're right there and we can't close them out.' That last six minutes, that was huge for us. We needed this game."
The script played out just as it had on Sunday. The Celtics trailed early, rallied in the second half and then began to falter later. But unlike Sunday, they made the plays defensively and executed down the stretch.
Brandon Bass spent the night in foul trouble, forcing Rivers to play Garnett more than he wanted. With no depth up front, they drafted Mickael Pietrus to play forward alongside Pierce, which left the swingman guarding Blake Griffin a handful of times. They were outrebounded 18-4 in the second quarter and 45-31 overall.
"Listen, we're small. That's just who we are right now," Rivers said. "We just got to be a grind it out basketball team. All are games are going to be tough. There are going to be no easy games for a while. They're all going to be difficult. We're going to get outsized every night and somehow until we get another big body we'll just have to figure it out."
All of that made the final score extremely satisfying for a team that has been searching for its identity since December.
"We have to do it on a more consistent basis," Pierce said. "Not just sometimes or in short bursts. This is how we got to be. This is our identity, especially on the road."

Using or hiding private information? An experimental study of zero-sum repeated games with incomplete information
AbstractThis paper studies the value of private information in strictly competitive interactions in which there is a trade-off between (i) the short-run gain of using information, and (ii) the long-run gain of concealing it. We implement simple examples from the class of zero-sum repeated games with incomplete information. While the empirical value of information does not always coincide with the theoretical prediction, the qualitative properties of the value of information are satisfied in the laboratory: (i) it is never negative, (ii) it decreases with the number of repetitions, (iii) it is bounded below by the value of the infinitely repeated game, and (iv) it is bounded above by the value of the one-shot game. In line with the theory, the empirical use of private information is almost complete when it should be, and decreases in longer interactions.

Destini McKinney hit her two foul shots with 1:22 left in regulation. The Indians outscored the Eagles 15-7 in the third quarter to take a slim one-point lead into the final period.
Maralie McKinney and Nahtika Belser each scored nine points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Tribe. Taliah Davis led Center Point (13-8, 4-1 area) with nine points.

Paul Ryan [Unlink] attacked Obama on energy while addressing a rally of supporters in Belmont, Ohio, on Saturday.
Standing in front of a huge sign reading "Victory in Ohio", Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan told the crowd that if they want to avoid losing their jobs, they must vote for Mitt Romney [Unlink] because Obama's energy policies cannot put an end to the war on energy.
"One thing Belmont County can do," Ryan said at Valley View Campgrounds, "if you head to early voting at your Belmont board of elections the one thing you can do is elect a man named Mitt Romney, who will end this war on coal and allow us to keep these good-paying jobs."
Continuing to attack Obama's polices with just two days from the final presidential debate, Ryan blamed the president for raising gas prices and increasing number of layoffs in the energy sector.
"Gas prices have doubled since President Obama was elected; we are losing thousands of coal jobs; we have a 100 coal plants that are scheduled to close; and thousands more jobs are on the chopping block. When you take a look at all his assault on oil and gas, he's closing down oil and gas on our federal lands; he's making it harder for us to get it overseas," Ryan said.
The southeastern Ohio is considered to play a vital role for Romney on Nov. 6, since the majority is in favor of the Republican. Polls show the gap is narrowing with Mitt Romney quickly catching up with Obama in the battleground state.
Earlier in the day, Ryan was in Moon Township, Penn, where he told the crowd how Obama's policies are hurting the country.
"Not only are these policies wrong, not only do these policies cost us jobs, not only do they mean that American energy dollars go to the Middle East, they are keeping us from having a boom, they are keeping us from having jobs, they are keeping us from making our pay checks stretch farther," he said.
The Obama campaign has denied the accusations, saying that the president's upcoming energy program for the next four years incorporates all of the above issues and will cut the oil imports of the country by half and will support 600,000 natural gas jobs by the end of 2020.

I enjoy creating new dishes and I pretty much never duplicate a meal, unless we really love it, like Primal pizza. :) But every meal doesn't have to be a masterpiece or take hours and hours to make. I typically spend somewhere between 20 minutes and 2 hours working in the kitchen on each meal. For me it really doesn't matter how much time I spend cooking because I truly enjoy the time I spend.
I made these two dishes the last couple days and pretty much just threw them together. I still haven't gone grocery shopping since we got back from Portland, so I'm still working on whatever supplies I had in the freezer from before we left.
Steak is always a super easy option to cook because it really does all the work by itself. Just throw some meat in a pan, season if you want to (I used salt and you can't really go wrong adding whatever seasonings you'd like), throw some fresh chopped garlic on top and BAM lunch or dinner is ready in like 20 or so minutes, depending on how you like your steak of course.
While the steak is cooking throw together whatever fresh ingredients you've got in the fridge, add some type of oil and BOOM, side dish complete.
What are some of your quick, go-to recipes?

Amateur radio buffs gather in Deerfield
Bow resident and amateur radio operator Jason Greene tests some of the equipment at the New England Amateur Radio Festival at the Deerfield Fairgrounds. (BARBARA TAORMINA PHOTO)
About 700,000 amateur radio operators, or hams as they call themselves, are spread throughout the country, with approximately 5,000 transmitting from their homes in New Hampshire.
The latest meeting of NEAR-Fest drew the usual crowd of tech-savvy tinkerers, curious global communicators and public service volunteers who step in whenever they can help with emergency services.
"The hobby is diverse, there's so much in it for everyone," said Manchester ham Rick Tenney. "The technology has changed dramatically, but as far as communicating and connecting go, it's still the same. Some people just enjoy talking, and you never know who you'll run into."
Amateur radio is often described as the original vehicle for social networking. But unlike some of today's online global networks, experienced hams have reached out and chatted with distant voices when chatting was exotic and exciting.
"When Russia was part of the evil empire, we could talk to Russia," recalled Don Curtis of the Contoocook Valley Radio Club.
Amateur radio also differs from Facebook and other modern networking sites in that it requires skills, especially in electronics.
"When we were growing up in New York, we would go down to Canal Street every Saturday and buy parts," said New York City ham Pete Ludwig as he looked at crates filled with faded packages of old vacuum tubes that seem to belong to a long-ago era.
New Boston resident Al Shuman, who heads the New Hampshire branch of the American Radio Relay League, said he hopes the enthusiasm of young people for understanding their modern computers and cell phones will lead some into the hobby.
"Kids are coming back into radio," he said. "They are beginning to look more at how things work."
Ham operators say they still have an important place when power goes off and cell phone service goes down.
Roger Martin, the ARES emergency coordinator for Coos County says they are a vital secondary communications tool.
"A lot of people think we just rag chew," said Martin. "But it isn't just talking. Amateur radio has been around for more than 100 years but I don't think the public realizes what we do or how we do it."

Rosie's tenacious, yet gentle way allows her to see past the no's to find the answers, the guidance and the resources she needed for her family and for the many wounded service members who she has helped. She is an Army veteran herself and a former paralegal and an administrator. She continues to care for her son full-time since he was wounded in Iraq but has decided to put her experience to work to help other wounded, and their families.
Today Rosie speaks before civic and veterans groups to inspire and motivate them to fill the gaps where the Department of Defense and Veterans Administration fall short in meeting the needs of our combat veterans. She works with members of Congress to keep the interests of wounded warriors front and center and she helps families find their way to a new state of normal that is happy and whole. Her efforts have gained the attention of military and elected officials as she continues to be a part of bringing about changes to federal law and DoD regulations.
Rosie was a SP4 in the Army, a Protocol Specialist to the Commanding General of the 8th ID - the largest mechanized unit in Europe. Husband Alain was a Sgt and crew chief on Hueys, also in the Army.
Rosie is married to her high-school sweetheart, Alain, today, a Captain with the Round Rock Police Department. Together, they have two children Alan and Christy, and reside in Round Rock, Texas.

A man suspected in the 2005 sexual assault of a woman in Newport Beach was arrested this week by police in Irvine.
Travis Dewayne Batten Jr. was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of the Newport attack and two others in Irvine, Irvine police Lt. Julia Engen said. The Irvine attacks happened in 2006, and 2010, she said.
The cases had hit a wall until last month when a detective saw in an overnight log of police calls a report of a suspicious subject near where the Irvine rapes occurred in the Harvard Avenue and Marquette area, Engen said.
Irvine investigators set up surveillance in the area and gathered evidence that led them to Batten, Engen said.
"We really became part of the neighborhood,'' she said.
Investigators surreptitiously got Batten's fingerprints. When they analyzed them, they found the prints matched the 2005 sexual assault in Newport Beach, Engen said.
"Newport Beach did a great job" collecting the latent fingerprints from the first crime scene, she said.
Now investigators have obtained a DNA sample from Batten that will be used to see if there's a match to the evidence collected in the assaults, Engen said. So far, investigators know the genetic material collected from the three crime scenes match, she said.
Batten was being held without bail, Engen said.

Die-hard Ravens fans will do a lot to show their support for their team, but would they pay almost $316,000 to see them battle the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl XLVII at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans?
Doug Gardner, who lives in Parkton, MD, has been a fan of the Ravens "since day one" and showed his support for the team by wearing his Ray Rice jersey on top of his business clothes. "I even kept it on for client meetings, including some I was meeting for the first time," he said.
When asked about the high third-party ticket prices, Gardner said he's pay "maybe $1,000" to go to the Super Bowl.
While tickets for the Super Bowl are always more expensive than regular-season or even playoff games, the StubHub website currently lists just under 4,300 available tickets (the Superdome seats up to 73,000) with prices ranging from $2,194 for seats in the terrace section of the end zone, up to $315,916 for a Suite on the 400 level.
Locally, Craigslist has postings with people offering as much as $9,999 for tickets, and dozens of ticket offers, with prices ranging from as little as $650 each for two tickets together in the 610 section, up to $8,500 for three tickets together in the 628 section.
There are also numerous travel packages, local rental housing in New Orleans and even people looking to cash in on the Ravens 2000 Super Bowl victory by selling a Ray Lewis-signed Super Bowl XXXV MVP photo for $500.
If you don't plan to spend $316,000 and attend the game, there is plenty of ways to celebrate the Ravens.
An Elkridge bakery said it expects to receive record high levels of orders for its Ravens-themed cupcakes for Super Bowl parties, for example.

The top federal prosecutor for northern Indiana could be heading to the federal bench.
President Bush nominated US Attorney, Joseph van Bokkelen to fill the soon-to-be vacant district court judgeship in Hammond.
The 63-year-old prosecutor says he became interested in the position soon after the current judge, Rudy Lozano, announced he was retiring in July.
Van Bokkelen now has to be approved by the democrat-controlled senate to become the next judge.

Source: there was a time when Dischord would fart out any record and i (and probably a lot of other kids) would buy it. Didn't matter what it sounded like you just knew that if Dischord put it out it was going to be just good at the very least. i spent a lot of tome buying albums on the back of all my Dag Nasty / Fugazi purchases that i thought its only 5 bucks ill try it out.
this ad is a perfect example here. use obscure Cynthia Conolly photo, add band name at bottom and boom i was sold. i would say i bought every album form the list above there aside from Fidelity Jones, which i can't even say i ever remember. aside from Fugazi, i knew no other band on that list until i mail ordered them. i think i have to say my most favorite surprise album from this list was Holly Rollers. i really enjoy ed that album a lot.
Grey Matter was no joke either, it was solid and i liked it but it was never the undiscovered Dag Nasty you always secretly hoped for. i will take any band on Dischord any day of the week over anything that gets played on the radio today tho. anyday.

Shirt: the Smiths - Ask German 12" (Reproduction)
Brand: Tultex
Source: I look at lots of T-shirts on the internets. lots. i always have this sad sigh pop out of my chest every time i see some bootleg shirt that not only looks horrible but really had zero thought put into it. i guess to make a dollar that was the thought. maybe I'm just being too personal cause this is coming form a guy who literally 20% of the time he is listing to music it is the Smiths or Morrissey.
so I was thinking of great sleeves that would make great album covers and this one came into mind in particular. the German 12" version of "Ask."
its nice right? a slightly different L shaped logo unique to this sleeve, and it just stood out. normally most of you saw this:
which i was going to make as well and thought it would be cool to pick whichever country your was from but it was too expensive at the printer. so i only made this one.
for some reason the sleeve was changed in Germany later to this cover of Colin Campbell:
but i really hate square album art that gets cut off and doesn't really lend it self well to shirt art. see pet peeve above.
So why did it get made? i dunno, cause i though tit would look good and deserved it i guess. you know sometimes you don't want to let things die away without showing it the respect it deserves. I'm trying to do that one smiths shirt at a time.

Shirt: Morrissey - World Peace Is None Of Your Business
Source: So i got my Moz pre order shirt this week for the new album. from a dude who has a merch problem i gotta say i was slightly disappointed. its just not a very good looking design / print job. so many options that could have been and yet this poorly printed album cover is the design they go with. Poor Moz looks like he has a case of Jaundice like his live has been failing for 6 months, he is yellow and just not good looking.
I guess i just don't understand why you would make this if you know it can't be printed properly. I've taken a picture so you can see a close up (Click the image to enlarge)
you will see its not horrible, its just not quality you expect from a life long career of great art / design. i duont know why I'm bitching really i think maybe cause when i make something i take a lot of care and pride in the details and feel disappointed when you (i) are producing better quality merch than the artist themselves. who knows. i guess i am really happy the Moz man is still around giving me music and merch to enjoy so i should just shut the fuck up. stoked there is a new album and i hope more future shows for you to cancel.

Shirt: Orbital - Space Boys
Color: Hunter Green
Brand: Hanes Beefty-T
Source: YESTERDAY, i got all caught up in packing and shipping shirts so i spaced (no pun intended) on it and yada yada here is is. i have enjoyed some electronic music since the early 90's if not earlier and still enjoy it today. especially bands who can create really distinctive creative sounds via electronic music cause its not easy to sound unique in this landscape. Orbital, Underworld, Daft Punk, Ratatat, they all have successfully identified a sound and made it their own.
its a little more difficult today because a lot of it has been done, and that i feel makes a band sound a little more dated. example, Drum And Bass in the 90's ad Dubstep in the 10's

Source: A long long time ago, wow 10 years ago exactly i would discover this song by Fluf (also formerly Olivelawn) who put out what i think was a compilation of Singles or b-Sides or something. there was a really beautiful song on there i loved called "Entire." I never thought anything else much of it other than damn thats a really good song. i listened to the shit out of it a lot. I've posted it below cause i can't find it anywhere
So a decade later a friend would send me a bunch of much and i kept repeating this one song. I was thinking how do i know this, i mean i know it but i have never heard it before. turned out rafter some searching it was this Fluf song, only it was Fluf who covered it a decade ago unbeknownst to me. so a decade later i get to fall in love with it all over again with a whole new set of ears. Its the same song, but in an tiredly beautiful different way. I love it.
it really is the thing i love about music and how it can be interpreted, relearned and re-loved over and over again. listen to the original below.

Shirt: Dead Milkmen - Big Lizard In My Backyard (Reproduction)
Color: White
Source: this is one of those albums that was right up there with Violent Femmes where i listened to it religiously. it played a big part of a few of my summers. i could never see a Camero drive by again with out thinking to myself…"that's a Bitchin' Camero!" This band would find it self weaving its way in and out of my life for a while. with Songs Like Punk Rock Girl, Stuart, Tiny Town…so many songs written by dudes who clearly felt as out of place as a kid as i did. and i related to that a lot. the reason you never see me with a Dead Milkmen shirt on here is because they are so really hard to find and locate, when you do its mostly just the Cow logo that is in most part kinda boring and doesn't do the band justice.
unit one day i follow this guy on Tumblr guilt regret now mind you i don't know this guy, but after seeing a year or so of someones tumblr feed you get to learn a few things about them. he likes Horror movies, cats, his lady who i think he also met on Tumblr, but most of all he likes music and a lot of weirder stuff i am into as well, but more importantly for this post he seemed to be one of the bigger Dead Milkmen fans i have come across in my life. and one day he posted dup this pic which looks like maybe he worked at a record store and this was an instore signing the band did.
I mean clearly it was or why else would you wear your meat puppets and public enemy shirts right? but guilt regret was the guy on the right wearing a really great Big Lizard shirt that i totally fell in love with. so i immediately emailed him and asked if he still had that shirt. month went by he said he would look but who knows? i do realize that people have other priorities in life other that to fulfill my requests for pictures of their old laundry. its my obsession not theirs. so i politely emailed later and nudged.."hey you by chance find it yet?" the answer was sadly no on his part, it was if he missed it as much as i was curious to know about it. a lost friend perhaps and like a lot os posts on here the shirt tends to remind of of certain times in our life good or bad and we grow fond of them. so that was it. its gone. i will never know.
then a few month later as if someone could sense i was hunting, posted this one on ebay, shit maybe it was even the same one!. sure it wasn't my size and had a little road wear on it but it was there. the guts.
So after taking a few pictures and thinking this shirt would be easy to remake and how stoked would guilt regret be to get another copy of this and i could have one too i started in. then i realized quickly that this design was so difficult to copy cause it was not the same as the album cover, which is a whole different story in itself that it is impossible to find but thanks to a super nice friend and her co worker dug up a copy, scanned it and sent to me. after putting ht album cover over this image i realized i wouldn't be able to use any of it. and the girl who sent me the album cover scan was excited cause she told me who much she loved this record too. to that was 3 people i would be able to stoke out if i could pull this off. so it was kind of a mission now, but i ended up having to redraw this entire thing by hand. and it was not easy. it took me many hours of drawing grass at the right thickness, the correct placement and doing everything i can to make it as best and honor the original to the best of my ability.
In the end i think i did a pretty good job. I'm proud of the work i put into it and now i have this shirt that I can carry on and create new memories in and hopefully do the same for the people i mentioned above and for a new people as well. so after printing them i was quite proud, put a few up for sale in the store here and if you want one grab it tell a friend and have a good day.
a little Dead Milkmen playlist below for you all to enjoy and brush up on if you will.

Shirt: Danzig - the Lost Tapes / Blackest Of The Black Tour 2008
Brand: Gilden Ultra Cotton
Source: If the above art looks extra good and awesome to you its because it is. It is a comic book artist Simon Bisley's work. to my knowledge mostly a comic book artist, at least thats where i know him from, but damn can he make Danzig look fucking rugged. look at this sketch before i pulled from his site that mustve been used someplace else. or maybe never got used at all?!
Be rad if he was crushing someone in this drawing. maybe that guy form that band that punched him out on that video. :) Danzig. i don't even know where to put the energy into this man. there is part of me that will always love the "Idea" of Danzig but i feel like until he changes in some sort his days of making amazing music are over. I low that sounds sad, Who knows this. maybe he reads this and is like FUCK that guy wTF does he know I'm going to fucking smash him, but first I'm going to write the best album ever and prove him wrong.
so in the mean time i can only stomach putting up Danzig I for your listening pleasure.

Shirt: Bloc Party - God Bless
Color: Olive Green
Brand: American Standard
Source: I sometimes think Silent Alarm falls of the radar and doesn't get the respect it still deserves. that record really delivered something unique in 2005. it was a lot of Weezer, and Jimmy Eat World and Death Cab, and this was actually a little more punk sounding. it was recorded raw and unique. it was a fucking solid record and i feel like spring boarded a lot of other bands behind. hat s my opinion tho. Who knows maybe Franz did that too. but you kinda see where I'm coming from? things were getting a little generic in the early 00's and this is one of those records that got people listening and engaged again. and opened a lot of doors for a lot of other bands to come through.

The Daily Item
— SUNBURY — You loved them in "The Valley's Got Talent," now you can take home The Morgan Family and Uncle Bean as they debut their first CD at a release party Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Sunbury Market House.
Fisher Ferry's own Morgan Family — David and Mary Morgan and their four children: Maggie, 12, Jessie, 11, Abbie, 8 and Hank, 5 — and Tim Albright a.k.a. Uncle Bean showcase their sharp performing on "Roots Run Deep," recorded at DoubleA Productions in Elysburg.
The Morgans were invited to play the Market House, at 436 Market St. downtown Sunbury, to help gain interest in the once-thriving multi-stand farmers market. It quickly became the venue for their CD debut as it holds a place in David Morgan's heart.
"When I was young and even after I came home from the service, (the Market Place) was a hopping place on a Saturday morning," he said. When the CDs arrived, "I thought it would be a really neat, down-home way to have a CD release party."
He and the rest of the band hope to get Market Place hopping Saturday with cuts such as the title track, "Roots Run Deep," a tribute to the family's Anthracite-mining heritage and Uncle Bean's father, who was a preacher, and one of four original tunes featuring Mary Morgan's songwriting talent.
The four kids, who are wicked together on their fiddles, do a knock-out version of "Orange Blossom Special" and the girls loan a special something to their rendition of "Stand By Your Man."
The Market Place "is a fit for us and our music. People can come out and get preview, and pick up some cheese or parsnips or delicious homemade ice cream while they're there."
"It's certainly a blessing from heaven with the talents of these four children playing in front of three adults," David Morgan said. "I think when people come on Saturday and hear four little children whip off 'Orange Blossom Special,' they'll understand this is a special CD."
Winning The Valley's Got Talent became a springboard of sorts for this musical family, Morgan said. That talent show "was a big step in some of the successes we've had." Shortly after their local win, the Morgans did video for a contest to be on RFD TV's "Shotgun Red Variety Show," taped in Branson, Mo.
"We were one of 24 acts out of 2,200 that entered," he said. And they won.
"I am just so proud of my family and what they've accomplished in such a short time and at a young age," Morgan said. "I couldn't be prouder. I'm so blessed to be married to such a talented woman like Mary, with all her creativity and still be able to do all the regular mother duties. And a good friend like Uncle Bean."
"Roots Run Deep" costs $14 and also is available by mail. Email firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.

Bill Halter, Blanche Lincoln Take Runoff Bids into Final Hours
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A bitter and expensive fight for the Democratic Senate nomination entered its final hours early Tuesday as Sen. Blanche Lincoln and Lt. Gov. Bill Halter wound down a contest that could be the last of Lincoln's political career.
Lincoln, considered one of the most vulnerable incumbents seeking re-election, planned to greet Little Rock-area voters at the polls Tuesday morning before voting with her husband. Halter was set to wrap up a marathon statewide tour by visiting an International House of Pancakes in Conway and waving to voters at a busy Little Rock intersection before casting his own ballot.
The stops mark the end of a three-week runoff between Lincoln and Halter. The winner of Tuesday's contest will face Republican Congressman John Boozman in the general election. [See which industries are giving money to Boozman.]
Lincoln and Halter have spent more than $10 million on the contest combined, and outside groups such as the AFL-CIO and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have poured millions more into the race. Lincoln spent the closing days of her campaign attacking unions and liberal groups backing Halter's bid, saying they're trying to buy Arkansas votes.
"The nation is watching us," Lincoln told supporters at a Monday luncheon in Forrest City. "It's watching Arkansas to see who we are, what kind of people we are. Do we stand up for ourselves and our values, or are we going to be bought off by special interest groups?"
Lincoln has angered conservatives by voting for the Democratic-led health care overhaul, and liberals have criticized her for opposing a government-run insurance option as part of the health reform. She's also been targeted by labor unions backing Halter for opposing the Employee Free Choice Act, legislation that would make it easier for workers to unionize. [See who is giving the most money to Lincoln's campaign.]
Halter has accused Lincoln of flip-flopping on that legislation and other key issues. Despite the backing of liberal groups, Halter says he's the more fiscally conservative of the two in the race.
"If you send the same people back to Washington, you are guaranteed to get the same results," Halter told reporters as he campaigned at the River Market in downtown Little Rock on Monday.
Tuesday's election also features a Republican contest for northwest Arkansas congressional seat and Democratic runoffs for congressional seats in central and eastern Arkansas. Democrats also will choose their nominee for secretary of state and land commissioner. Arkansas Secretary of State Charlie Daniels has not predicted how many voters will cast a ballot in Tuesday's election, but history suggests it will be much lower than the May 18 primary.
Twenty-nine percent of the state's 1.6 million registered voters turned out for the May primary.

PLANNING THEIR WEDDING :) Our blog addition, Bride in the City will give you inside info from other brides to help you along the way and make you feel like you're not the only one :) So ... get ready to bond with Bride in the City guest: Rebecca Ryan-Gonzalez
When did you become engaged?

Who are the wedding vendors that you have already decided to hire?
Photographer - Love Tif by Tiffany Manning
Invitations - Casie Simpson Design Studio
Wedding coordinator - Sarah Dufresne
Makeup - Jackie Neal
Hair - Casey Does Hair
Chairs, tables, flatware - St. Augustine Rental
Lighting - St. Johns Illuminations
What is your venue and why did you choose it?
We found our reception venue first and we fell in love. The Sanchez House is a 200-year old Spanish home on the water. Its character and personality shine through its stone construction and ivy covered walls.
We wanted everything to be within walking distance for our guests so when we looked for a ceremony venue we searched for locations near the Sanchez House. Jeff suggested that we look at the Llambias House which is part of the St. Augustine Historical Society and is around the corner from the Sanchez House. Once we visited we realized how well it compliments the Sanchez House in feel and age. It too is an old Spanish home made of stone with a beautiful garden perfectly suited for our outdoor wedding.
What are you most excited about for your wedding day?
I'm excited for my father to walk me down the aisle, for Jeff to finally see me in my wedding dress, for my brother to stand beside me as my man-of-honor, and to celebrate with friends and family.
Is there anything you are nervous about for your wedding day?
With an outdoor venue, I'm most worried about the weather. All we can do is have a back-up plan - tents for rain and venue insurance for hurricanes. As long as the weather cooperates I won't be worried.
What is your wedding theme or concept going to be? What inspired it?
We're less focused on a theme and more focused on color and lighting. We want to create a mood of sophistication with the colors ivory, green, and steel gray and balance that mood with a party atmosphere. In order to do so, we're draping the Sanchez House will strands of globe string lights and using large quantities of candles in mason jars.
Did you decide to hire a wedding coordinator? Why did you decide this?
Yes and no. With the help of our families, Jeff and I planned almost everything on our own. However, we hired a wedding coordinator for the rehearsal and the day of to make sure that everything runs smoothly. I have worked with our coordinator before on special events and I feel fully confident in her ability to keep everyone on track and on time. I know that with her there I won't have to worry about a thing.
Where are you planning to go for your honeymoon?
We're going to Thailand!
What are some of your favorite wedding planning blogs and tools?
Real Simple Weddings is amazing! Martha Stewart Weddings is good too. Spending time looking at on-line photos of similar kinds of weddings was very helpful - there are a lot of beautiful weddings to take inspiration from. I'm also very fortunate to have friends who are professional designers that understand the importance of details and have provided invaluable advice.
Is your husband-to-be helping with the planning? What are his jobs?
Jeff has been amazing! He has taken on so many projects for this wedding that if I list everything he's done it will look like I didn't do anything. Something I really appreciated was that Jeff found both the reception and ceremony venues - that was a huge help!
What is your best advice to brides who are currently planning their wedding?
Get as much done as early as possible so that you're sure to have your choice of preferred vendors and venues and so that you can enjoy the months leading up to your wedding.
Are you planning to see each other before the ceremony for photos? Why or why not?
There are some traditions I like and seeing each other for the first time as the bride walks down the aisle is one of them. This is one of those timeless wedding moments that I'm looking forward to.
What are 3 words that describe how you feel right now?
Fortunate, grateful, and happy.
Photographer: Love Tif by Tiffany Manning

We have analysed near-infrared NTT/SofI observations of the starburst cluster Westerlund 1, which is among the most massive young clusters in the Milky Way. A comparison of colour-magnitude diagrams with theoretical main-sequence and pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks yields improved extinction and distance estimates of AKs = 1.130.03 mag and d = 3.550.17 kpc (DM = 12.750.10 mag). The pre-main sequence population is best fit by a Palla & Stahler isochrone for an age of 3.2 Myr, while the main sequence population is in agreement with a cluster age of 3 to 5 Myr. An analysis of the structural parameters of the cluster yields that the half-mass radius of the cluster population increases towards lower mass, indicative of the presence of mass segregation. The cluster is clearly elongated with an eccentricity of 0.20 for stars with masses between 10 and 32M, and 0.15 for stars with masses in the range 3 to 10M. We derive the slope of the stellar mass function for stars with masses between 3.4 and 27M. In an annulus with radii between 0.75 and 1.5 pc from the cluster centre, we obtain a slope of

Centuries after the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared a fall feast in 1621, Thanksgiving is still a big occasion in America. It was President Abraham Lincoln who proclaimed it a national holiday in 1863, in the middle of the Civil War.
Today, area residents share what they're thankful for.
Fenton Fire Chief Robert Cairnduff said he's thankful for his family, with four boys who all have good health.
"That's the most important thing," Cairnduff said.
Fenton High School senior Caila Ryan also named her family as what she's most thankful for.
Area resident Sandra Davies said she's glad to be alive.
"We're all staying in good health over here, I hope," said Davies, a member of the Loose Senior Center in Linden.
Susan Allen, of Fenton, said she's thankful for "so many blessings."
"I'm most thankful that all of my family — children, grandchildren — are all close in geography," Allen said. "I'm really able to spend my time with them."
Dennis Colwell, also of Fenton, said he's thankful for every day the Lord gives, and being physically able to help others through the local Thanksgiving basket program.
Another Fenton resident, Gail Ponzetti, said she's grateful for her new grandbaby, Rocco, 6 months.
"We have playdates on Wednesdays," Ponzetti said.
