Today, we're stoked to officially welcome John John Florence to the Hurley family.
Let us give you a brief overview of our newest team rider: John John started surfing at the age of three, competing at age seven, and took home a Triple Crown title, three Pipeline wins, an ASP win, a runner-up at Surfer Poll and finished fourth in the world... All before turning 20.
Since John John is a surfing prodigy who continues to push the envelope, the connection was obvious for us: join one of the most innovative surfers with our commitment to innovation. And we're putting him to work right away; he will be collaborating with us on our next generation of Phantom boardshorts.
Said best by our VP Sports Marketing Pat O'Connell, "Dream what might be possible in surfing and I'm sure he is going to exceed it." We are inspired by John John's incredible talent, creativity, spirit and drive, and can't wait to see what this next chapter holds.

Pakistan's effort to eradicate polio is moving ahead, despite the displacement of up to one million people by the military conflict in the country's North-West Frontier Province.
Among the positive developments reported by the World Health Organization:
WHO officials say it is vital to reach children of displaced families, because access to these children has been hampered by the poor security situation in the province.
To promote the upcoming NIDs, aimed at reaching 33 million children nationally, Rotarians and social workers joined a walk against polio in Karachi on 21 May, led by the city's deputy mayor, Nasreen Jalil.
"After the walk, the deputy mayor gave polio drops to kids and appealed to all citizens to participate," says Aziz Memon, a member of the Rotary Club of Karachi, Sind, and past governor of District 3270 (Afghanistan; Pakistan). "Because of the presence of the deputy mayor, the event was covered by all print and electronic media and will create a lot of awareness."

March Golf Tip: How do the golf pros make it look so easy?
Ever observed a professional golfer and wonder how they make it look so easy? It is because the professionals are able to swing with less tension producing a more fluid swing. Every person who has played golf has experienced tension in their golf swing. Tension can show up in a player's grip, shoulders, legs…basically it can be present anywhere. Try this drill during your next practice session to see how fluid your swing is.
Take your seven iron and make a few swings without much focus on anything in particular, just simply hitting balls. While you are hitting balls hum to yourself as smooth as possible from the start of the swing to the finish. If your humming becomes strained, increased, or changes in pitch this is evidence of tension in your swing. By listening to the changes in your humming, you can gain awareness of where tension creeps into your golf swing.
This awareness of where your tension is will give you the focus necessary to extend the fluidity in your swing from start to finish.

Celebrate the last days of Summer of Riesling at a.kitchen
Banish the Blue Nun stigma, head on down to a.kitchen and groove on some gorgeous Summer of Riesling pours.
Celebrate the last days of Summer of Riesling at a.kitchen
Tim Kweeder, the wine director of a.kitchen (135 South 18th St.) is on a mission, preaching the gospel of Riesling. He's sending off the Summer of Riesling with a line up of eight remarkable Rieslings by the glass beginning on September 1 and running until the 21.
Meal Ticket had a chance to sit down with the Riesling master and taste out way through the starting line up. Kweeder shared his staff training notes with us, a handout that was both downright hilarious and chock full of pertinent Riesling intel, including a spot-on analogy comparing the ever-versatle Riesling to glam-chameleon David Bowie.
Kweeder will have you know that acidity in Riesling allows it to pair with all sorts of unexpected dishes, he swears that it's a steak's best mate. And if you're going for wine geek cred, learning the difference between a Kabinett and Trockenbeernauslese will score you some serious points.
So if you'd like to help Kweeder forever banish the Blue Nun stigma, head on down to a.kitchen and groove on some gorgeous Summer of Riesling pours.

This unique international conference will provide a platform for all pharmaceutical scientists, internists and primary care physicians to discuss and learn about important international breakthrough developments in drug discovery and on new therapeutics. The focus of the conference will be on the interdisciplinary fields of drug discovery, drug therapy and translational medicine. A similar series of conferences have been held by the organizers in the UAE over the last several years. These events have been highly successful and many top international scientists, including over 22 Nobel Laureates, have presented their work.
Building on the success of previous conferences, the theme of the 2013 meeting 'Achieving Optimal Outcomes Through Multidisciplinary Care' will reflect the need for collaboration and cooperation in producing the best possible outcomes in the treatment of lung cancer. It is also a reflection of the nature of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer which welcomes and encourages the participation of individuals from a wide range of professional backgrounds in its Conferences.
The conference series on Bioactive Lipids in Cancer, Inflammation and Related Diseases was started in 1989 when its first conference was held in Detroit, Michigan. Subsequent meetings were held around the globe with the next conference scheduled for November 3 - 6, 2013 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The previous biennial conferences have been immensely successful in highlighting data from research at the cutting edge of science on the role of lipid mediators in various physiological and pathological processes. The goal of this meeting series is to promote the exchange of ideas between scientists of diverse backgrounds from around the world. And to provide a forum for the dissemination of the latest scientific information on bioactive lipids in health and disease as it relates to cancer, inflammation and inflammation induced diseases such as cardiovascular, diabetes, psoriasis, and Alzheimer's.

The Most Sincere Form of Flattery

The Most Sincere Form of Flattery
by Amanda Phillips - 4/22/04
Imitation is - no doubt. People can admire you, compliment you, envy you but to try to imitate ... wow! It is a vote of confidence and adulation. It warms the heart!
The Free State Project (FSP) is worthy of imitation. It has had a remarkable life so far. Begun as the brainchild of Jason Sorens in a discussion forum, it has grown into the full-fledged movement for liberty it is today. The FSP forums are an unending source of discourse on liberty and discussions on how to attain it. Across the country, members work on spreading the word. It has achieved the major milestone of getting five thousand people signed up. It has arranged for the vote amongst its members to select the state to liberate.
While there is no doubt that the results of the vote impacted everyone involved with FSP, the fact is we all knew there were opt outs and there was going to be disappointment with the final selection. Those who opted out or otherwise decided against New Hampshire will, of course, seek freedom elsewhere. How could they not?! I celebrate their choice to not let go the dream.
For me, however, I'm keeping my eye on the prize. FSP *has* come a long way, but we have so much farther to go! Continuing the journey to increase membership, migrate and actively make change in New Hampshire is paramount. Not losing sight of the end goal is critical. I'm happy those who can't come to New Hampshire will continue the pursuit of freedom. I'm continuing the pursuit too.

Plano Star-courier > News
HOV lanes here at last
By Stephanie Flemmons, Staff Writer
Published: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 11:05 PM CST
Completely avoiding backed up traffic during rush hour is hardly possible.
But Lloyd Neal, Plano's traffic engineer manager, said he hopes the opening of the 14-mile stretch of High Occupancy Lanes (HOV) running on U.S. 75 from Interstate 635 to Exchange Parkway in Allen will ease motorists' drive.
"By removing vehicles from the main road and transferring them to the HOV lanes we are hoping to have more free flow traffic and accessibility to the city," Neal said.
Jeff Hampton, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) spokesperson, said the lanes will be clear of the barricades and ready for use at 6 a.m. Friday.
"Contractors are working fast and furious to remove debris and have the lanes open," Hampton said.
Not only will the HOV lanes benefit commuters, but Melinda Sweney, Plano's sustainability and environmental coordinator, said the lanes will benefit the atmosphere.
"The expansion will have a positive impact on air quality and energy conservation," Sweney said. "The less time you spend idling, the more fuel you save and the fewer CO2 emissions are produced which impact our ozone."
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets allowable concentration standards for a variety of air pollutants, including ozone. These standards are designed to protect public health and are based on extensive health effects research, including research performed by EPA scientists and by independent researches.
According to Mark Ball, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) spokesperson HOV commuter benefits include less use of personal vehicles, less fuel consumption, reduced total travel time and improved trip time. Motorists who carpool only a few days per week will benefit, he said.
"HOV lanes move more people in fewer vehicles, reducing the demand for new highways," Ball said.
HOV lanes are open to vehicles with two or more occupants, buses, motorcycles and other eligible vehicles, according to DART officials.
This $18-million project split between DART, TxDOT and federal authorities was expected to be completed in August of 2006, but crews faced delays due to wet conditions and other TxDOT projects.
This 14-mile stretch will be equipped with cameras at major intersections like George Bush Turnpike and U.S. 75.
They will also include three ways on and three ways off. The lanes are protected by plastic dividers instead of concrete barriers.
Ball said DART is in charge of policing the lanes and TxDOT are the engineers that design them.
The U.S. 75 project is one of many projects the agencies are splitting in the metroplex.
Neal said Plano will see positive affects when an operating system is developed.
An extension of HOV lanes opened Monday on Interstate 30, which extended a single lane that runs east of downtown to Northwest Drive in Mesquite. This will eventually reach Fort. Worth.
A 12-mile extension of the Interstate 635, from U.S. 75 to I-30 will double the length of HOV lanes in the LBJ corridor, one of the nations busiest freeways, according to DART officials. It is scheduled to open in 2008.

Ke$ha with a Mohawk: Awesome or Awful?
Ke$ha broke out a mohawk at last night's Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood: Stars Who Care event.
On any other celebrity, this might be a shock. On Ke$ha, we're almost surprised it took so long for her to make like Brody Jenner.
[Photos: Splash News]
The eccentric singer said she did the 'do herself and:
"Even when I do dress up it's never like a pretty girl. I think it's more interesting to have a little of your [own] style in anything… I'm definitely not the hottest girl in the world by far, but, you have to work with what you got!"
What do you think of the hairstyle?

Andy tells us that he's not sure what is going on because he feels like he gave a good showing during the last two challenges, but he judges haven't responded. As they are leaving the apartment, Cute Michael jokes that he hopes their limo is waiting for them. Christopher replies, "The short bus is more like it." Well, well, well. Looks like we've got a joker on board. I didn't know you had it in you, Christopher. Let's see what else you got.
At the runway, Heidi greets the designers from the catwalk. She brings out Gretchen's model, plus the models of Jason and Nicholas. Of course, Gretchen's sticking with her girl and the others are out. That was totally pointless.
Now, Heidi tells the designers that two challenges under their belt is a cause for celebration. Tim is going to throw them a party where he will describe for them the next challenge. Don't you just know that Tim has been planning the SHIT out of this party? I'm smelling a rager. Panties are going to get lost. Blackouts for everyone! Andy interviews that he doesn't think they will be popping champagne on a rooftop but I think he doesn't know Tim. This shit's gonna get WILD.
The designers meet Tim at a party supply store. He reveals that he has tricked them. There will be no party. Instead, they will be getting materials for the next challenge at the store. Why should we believe anything you say, Tim? He says that he really enjoys the unconventional challenges, because they push the designers to innovate. He reminds everyone that the judges do not like when a designer uses materials that could double as fabric, ala tablecloths, wrapping paper, etc.
They all go crazy in the party store. Tim tells A.J. that this is "his" challenge, because he works with crazy shit. He agrees. Gretchen is whining for someone in the store to help her. This ain't Mood, honey. She interviews that the store is "cheese ball city" and nothing about her design aesthetic is cheese ball. The mannequins are seriously wishing they had eyeballs right now, just so they could ROLL them. Hard. A hard roll. Because Gretchen does not seem to get it. As much as April's snark about Gretchen's lack of creativity seems a little like jealousy, she may have a real point. There's nothing wrong with just making salable stuff either, but Gretchen acts like she's God's fashion conduit.

Shoppers are becoming harder and harder to come by these days. Not only has the current economy made them less likely to spend their hard-earned cash, shoppers have become more savvy and more likely to review you and your products online before remotely considering clicking on that "add to cart" button.
As the eCommerce space grows, sellers have to continuously up their game. From running traditional SEO and paid media campaigns to more complex retargeting campaigns, ecomm marketers have to stay on top of things. Add in email campaigns, shopping cart abandonment campaigns, social media initiatives and even tradeshows such as shop.org and Internet Retailer, and it quickly becomes evident that ecomm marketers have a lot of balls to juggle.
As an ecomm marketer your plate (along with the plate you're trying to sell) is full. You're having to do more with less–less time, less budget and fewer resources–while making sure your efforts directly lead to sales.
Take a deep breath. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, and it isn't the toy train someone's had sitting in their shopping cart for three weeks.
Apogee Results knows how to help ecomm marketers run successful online marketing campaigns. By taking a holistic approach to online marketing, we're able to look at your online marketing campaign as a whole in order to figure out how to best get you the results you need. Your dedicated Client Services Team (CST) will work WITH you in order to achieve maximum results, and will advise you on ways to fully integrate your online and offline marketing efforts.

My 04 Prius has 2600 miles after five months. I may have my first oil change at seven months and around 3000 miles. My question is: Will the change oil reminder still come on flashing at 4500 miles and steady at 5000 miles or is this reminder reset? Thanks Bill
[font=Lucida Console:f436e64d6c] [/font:f436e64d6c] The oil reminder is was you program so, you can change the reminder to 3,000 miles if you like. If I read the manual right, once it reminds you have to reprogram the next one.
i think he is talking about the Maint. Req. on the dash. That will blink at 4500 Mi. from last reset, and stay steady at 5K from last reset. So, while car is off, go to Ig-On while holding the ODO button, and continue to hold for 5 seconds when the '00000' disappears.

CD/LP/Track Review
Matthew Shipp: Duos With Mat Maneri & Joe Morris (2011)
To Matthew Shipp, the piano is a vast kaleidoscopic landscape that will always remain tonally uncharted. Sometimes it is daunting to traverse; at other times it is familiar. When faced with the prospect of the former, Shipp's dynamic and pianistic attack is quite different. He is aroused by the challenge of a pursuit flushed with mysterious tones and colors the sequence of which he seems never to be sure. Then he will attack the notes, repeating motifs with subtly varied approaches so as to tame the emerging, wild progression of phrases, lines and ultimately whole motivic sequences. His fingers might caress notes or, at other times, simply hammer them into playing tones and overtones of his own making. When the keyboard is a familiar, pliant, albeit mysterious stretch of coloration and drama, Shipp is gentle. He caresses the notes and even when he squeezes sound out of several together, he is almost lovingly soft.
Incredible examples of his approach stand out on Matthew Shipp Duos with Mat Maneri & Joe Morris: "Thesis" is characterized by refined savagery of his attack, while Shipp treats his piano like a lover on "Fable" and "Series of Plane"probably the only title on this showcase record that is built upon a melodic structure. Were it not for Shipp's penchant for abrupt changes in the direction of even his simplest music, this track might even qualify to be a song, although it breaks away from the norm well before musically reaching 32 bars.
The music from this album comes from two distinct sets of duo sessions: Thesis (hatOLOGY, 1997), with guitarist Joe Morris; and Gravitational Systems (hatOLOGY, 1998), featuring violinist Mat Maneri. The titles appear to be as apt as the music would allow. A piano and guitar play similar roles in an ensemble, the rhythmic angularity of both instruments making for similar harmonics, even if the piano adds that rhythmic edge (certainly in Shipp's hands), when it assumes the role of percussive instrumentation. The collision of the two instruments in dialog with one another might suggest a thesis in itself. Whether this is proven depends on the hypothesis. In the case of Shipp and Morris, it is recognizably so, as the two instrumentalists create a fresh stream of music that resides in the distorted elements where Jimi Hendrix might have met Karlheinz Stockhausen via Shipp and Morris.
The duets from Gravitational Systems are less confrontational and because of the natural dramaturgy and allure of glissandi and arpeggios on violin and piano, there is less crystal-like shattering when the pieces proceed. This does not mean that the music is staid and conventional, however. Far from it; the musical terrain created is forceful, dramatic and no less shocking to those who might expect sonic calm. This is a record where the unexpected explodes quite dramatically.
Track Listing: Thesis; Landscape Harmony; Action and Reaction; Gravitational Systems; Fable; Series of Planes; Simple Relations; Elasticity; Particle 2; Knots; Our Journey.
Personnel: Matthew Shipp: piano; Mat Maneri: violin; Joe Morris: guitar.
Record Label: Hat Hut Records

It's nearly here! One of my favourite designers and topshop combined - pinch me as i'm not sure if i'm dreaming. I can't wait to see the whole collection of Mary Katrantzou for topshop, i just love the patterns and structure of all her designs, however i have a feeling i won't even be able to own this (apparently) affordable collection because lets face it - it's going to be like Christopher Kane a few years ago and sell out in 10 minutes. For now i think i'll just stare in awe at how beautiful the collection preview looks.

Q: Is it true that there are bills in Congress that would exempt members and their staffs and families from buying into "Obamacare"?
A: No. Congress members and staffers will be required to buy insurance through the exchanges on Jan. 1. But reportedly there is concern about whether federal contributions to premiums can continue without a change.

Here's executive producer Bill Wolff with a preview of tonight's show:
For the love of god, why must we continually endure the nonsensical ravings of Michael Steele? I change the channel every time I see that cretin.
Michael Steele is one of the few Republicans who sees life/politics as they are. He is not a far right wingnut. Yes, I meant wingnut - one that has been tightened too much and has squeezed all the common sense out of the radical wing of the Republican party. He still believes in and speaks on behalf of the majority of Republicans who are moderates. I enjoy listening to his point of view as it gives me insight on what most Rs believe in and why. He's also incredibly funny, well spoken, and polite, which are things we should all strive to be.
"What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that its people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms." Thomas Jefferson
Quote: President John Adams
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. The jaws of power and Greed are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing. There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free 'government' ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.
Here's a little tune for our call to our pal Harry: (Throne of Agony)
Hello, operator... give me NO-MAN'S LAND
Collect call to no one at all
Been yelling into an empty closet to the point of no return (and no deposit)
Fiddlin and watchin while Rome Burns
A roll of the dice: the WOIM TOINSHello, central... give me NO-MAN'S LAND
From a walking waste disposal unit
A transfusion from me'd kill the faint of heartAlas POOR YORICK... I knew me well but I bin killin ma brain CELL BY CELL
It only takes a bullet to make the WOIM TOIN--an this one's for you...The toll is belling... the signs is telling
Nose is running... feet are smellin (Foetus Melon)
Currently less than a human wreck
Gimme a BREAK... start at the NECKI rule my body from the throne of agony
My conscience and constitution's naggin me
Clock up another TRACHEOTOMY
STAB another dagger inna back o' me
The dark gods boint ma evil SOUL
Ma brittle spirit's toint to COAL
I rule my body from the throne of agony
AGONYChalk up another frozen pizza... choke up another thousand marlboros
Anything goes for them ordinary joes
They'll cut off your face to spite your nose
I don't need to touch their toes to know I've already reached my ALL TIME LOW
Pacin' ruts inna carpet
Eatin' up the wallpaper, crawlin' the walls, sick on the ceiling
Shut the shutters... I shoulda stayed in bedComplainin bout ma campaign against personal decency
I got no excuses
Just rules wrapped in barbed wire, laced with busted glass
(Yeah, I'm the one who gave the sandwich to Mama Cass)Stoke up and poke up my funeral pyre
And watch my life flicker before your very eyes
With no commercial breaks... NO BRAKES
NO BRAKES... (kill me baby)Pour another glass of liquid clear
Drinkin hard to not remember what I'd just as soon forget
String around the finger... ROPE around the NECK
You always HATE the one you LOVE
Time dies when you're having fun
I'm gonna change ma name... I'm changin' trains... (kill me baby)
Norm Ornstein mentions the Worm turns on O'Donnell.
Even the lowliest of worms will turn when provoked, you grey beards of the Senate. Our Rome is burning. The party is over.
Rachel: Re your comment that Michigan will be the only state to actually fix its electoral college vote to guarantee a Republican win. You seem confident that the other states that originally planned to do this are now too embarrassed by the adverse publicity to do so. Please don't be so confident. Whatever they say in public, you can bet that the Republicans in all these states will be working out of the radar and suddenly – POW! If the Dems drop their guard, when they least expect it, they'll wake up one day and find the legislation delivered, signed and sealed at the speed of light.
I was thinking the same thing. Some of us heard about corrupting the electoral college in WI a month ago. It is full steam ahead here. Scott Walker passed the vast majority of his agenda already so he can sit back for years, even, and wait until no one's looking. We are the model of Alec legislation. The only "shame" I see is how curious it is that Walker, while having very close ties to ReiNCe PRieBuS, has very little to do with Lyin' Ryan or Our Dumb Senator Ron Johnson (local nicknames).
I think that IF the Reichpublicans were smart (not gonna happen in our lifetimes-LOL), they would not RUSH to pass these Electoral College Rigging state laws until it gets a little closer to 2016. That way the PUBLIC and or the DEMS would not have time to mount either a popular or legal fight against these cheating laws.
My HOPE is that these cheaters will not get aweay with this blatant attempt to steal another Presidential Election.
I was extremely disappointed with your coverage of Mary Jo White. Matt Taibbi made very specific allegations against her in Rolling Stone, of which I'm sure you're aware. These were not at all addressed in your interview with Spitzer. It was all vague stuff about the revolving door we all already know about. What we want to know is what her answer is to these allegations, not airy stuff about whether she's got the brains to comprehend what Wall Street does.
I have no doubt she does. What I want to know is simple: is she corrupt?
I guess I watched a different segment. As far as I could tell, it was all about which Mary Jo White would we get. The tough cop or the defender of wall street. I don't think we've had a chance to interrogate her yet, Ben.
Mary Jo White worked for Spitzer. Maddow interviews Spitzer re White. Wrong person to ask, wrong questions. It was puffery. There are SPECIFIC questions to which SPECIFIC answers are needed.
My specific question is a legal one. Not knowing the law, perhaps someone else here does. Having defended the big banks previously, will she have to recuse herself from trying to prosecute them now? If so, then choosing her guarantees their protection from prosecution. It seems an obvious conflict of interests.
I don't think we can assume Obama's legal team looked at this and decided there is NO conflict. They may have chosen her precisely because they decided there would be.
The republicans taking a "hot bleach shower" to cleanse themselves of Romney's policies was a poor analogy... I don't think they can get much whiter.
The president should be elected purely by popular vote. Sign the petition to amend the constitution.
It would seem that as an attorney who represented some of the banks that the SEC regulates and may be subject to decisions by the SEC whether or not to prosecute, Mary Jo White might have an ACTUAL legal conflict because of confidential information to which she was privy while they were her clients. I assume that the Obama administration has looked at this issue and concluded that there is no conflict, but the banks will surely look at that very closely and the courts are quite strict in their interpretations of attorney-client confidentiality. I think it is worth the media taking a look at this with legal ethics experts.
The name "Michigan" allegedly comes from a Native American word, but has anyone noticed the similarity to the Yiddish word "michigas" which means "craziness"? And the personal form of the word, "meshugana" meaning "crazy" is quite similar to "Michiganer"?
I noticed that many of my comments have been collapsed by the community.Even though I've never threatened anyone, or cursed or lied. I blog over at a right leaning blog and everyone's comments are welcome and not collapsed unless is its criminal.The left doesn't believe in free speech.That's apparent.Especially on college campuses.
Its your loss, Author,Poet, Humanitarian, angler,gardener,avid skeet shooter,billiards champion,chess master,chef and master brewer, (whew! that's a mighty big bussiness card), William Hillie the III can blog anywhere.
Good Day and don't try this at home.
I think you were intimating that you will not be blogging on this site in the future. If that was the message you were trying to convey, allow me to wish you adieu.
OK Rachel. Yes, I posted right after the holidays, asking TRMS to kick some a**. But I did not expect you to lessen to me !! And the truth is TRMS kicks a** on every show so it was a pretty safe bet on my part. But as an American I still want to claim credit where credit may or may not be due. Ya. I built that. Ok, we built that?? Do you feel better ?? Ya. . . . me to.

|African Artisan Spotlight|
We Step. We Tour. We Teach.
Step Afrika! is the first professional company in the world dedicated to the tradition of stepping. Founded in December 1994, the company is critically-acclaimed for its efforts to promote an understanding of and appreciation for stepping and the dance tradition's use as an educational tool for young people worldwide. Step Afrika! reaches tens of thousands of Americans each year and has performed on many stages in North & South America, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean.
Step Afrika! Celebrates its 15th Anniversary with the 2009 Home Performance Series and a special African Ancestry Night on May 28th!
The 2009 Home Performance Series, from May 27th - May 31st, consists of five extraordinary performances, community outreach activities and a special 15th Anniversary Performance & Celebration. This year's Series will also celebrate 15 years of freedom and democracy in South Africa.
The 15th Anniversary Home Performance Series will feature several guest artists: Jason Nious, star of Cirque de Soleil's Ka in Las Vegas, the W.E.S. Group jazz quartet, and special artists all the way from Johannesburg, South Africa. All performances will be held at the trendy Atlas Performing Arts Center in Washington, DC.
As partners of Step Afrika!, African Ancestry will be joining the celebration:
- On Wednesday, May 27, 2009 during the Opening Night Performance, African Ancestry will reveal the roots of Step Afrika! founder, C. Brian Williams.
- On Thursday, May 28, 2009, African Ancestry will be in attendance for the official African Ancestry Night!
Test Kits will be available for a discounted price, and a portion of all proceeds will be donated right back to Step Afrika!
To find out more about the 2009 Home Performance Series and buy tickets, click here.
Step Afrika! shows how dance can be wonderful tool for cross-cultural exchange!
Step Afrika! started as a cultural festival in the historic township of Soweto, South Africa, through a partnership with the Soweto Dance Theatre. Its founder, Brian Williams wanted to highlight the striking similarities between stepping (the percussive dance tradition of African American fraternities and sororities) and the gumboot dance (a dance form first created by South African mineworkers).
At the festival, workshops focus on traditional and contemporary art forms found in both countries and include dance instruction from the Zulu, Sotho and Tswana traditions along with stepping, ballet and hip-hop. The result is a dynamic sharing environment that breaks down barriers and long-held stereotypes carried by both communities.
Step Afrika! will return to South Africa & Madagascar in September 2009 for an exciting four-city tour. It's going to be an historic return!
Step Afrika! is active in your community!
Step Afrika! has brought so many wonderful opportunities to our artists, our audiences and especially our young people. With an extensive array of arts programming for children, Step Afrika! received the 2005 Mayor's Arts Award for Outstanding Contribution to Arts Education and annually provides over 100 school-based performances for more than 20,000 young students in DC, Maryland and Virginia alone.
Step Afrika! also tours internationally to spread its messages across the Diaspora.
Step Afrika! artists are not only great performers, but also wonderful teachers who can instill in young people a sense of teamwork, discipline and commitment.

A hiker took the Google Trekker, complete with its 15 cameras, down to the Grand Canyon in order to capture images for a street view-type tour so that anyone from just about anywhere could take a virtual stroll through one of the world's greatest natural wonders.
"The trekker weighs about 40 pounds or so," said Daniel Sieberg of Google. "It's about two feet clearance off my head here, but it takes pictures about every 2 1/2 seconds or so. As you're going through a trail or something, you could actually just hike at a normal pace, and it's taking pictures and accounting for all of those things like balance and slope and all of those types of things, and then connecting that and collaborating all of that later."
Google mapped about 75 of the 277 miles of the Grand Canyon, some of the more well-known trails. The team says it does plan to someday head back and capture even more.
As wild as it may seem, there are actually more than half dozen of these street view-type contraptions for capturing images.
"In addition to the car, the trike, the snowmobile, the trolley, which goes through museums, we also have the ability to capture similar types of imagery underwater, and we've actually done that in places like the Great Barrier Reef," Sieberg says.
To check out the world's wonders those devices have caught so far, head over to www.google.com/streetview.

- Liverpool to Dublin The only way to travelBy McGran04 May 2013aged 45 to 54Female
We liked this journey because the fare includes a meal each at the start and end of each journey and drinks(tea/coffee/juice) throughout.There are also seating areas with TV..We had booked a cabin even though it was a daytime journey In the cabin the bunks are comfortable and bedding clean, there is a shower and toilet which means you are not wandering around looking and queueing for toilets and also you can relax in comfort and privacy and lock your possessions securely.when you go to eat. We live approx 1hr from Liverpool and have previously driven to Wales and stayed in a hotel overnight before getting the ferry to Dublin (my husband is the only driver)This Route means he arrives refreshed and is more comfortable having had a sleep a shower and a meal it also save us the extra petrol costs and the cost of the hotel plus the cost of meals which we would have had to pay for on on our previous route make it excellent value I would definitely recommend it I only wish we'd done this when the children were younger. We are just about to book again for this year

JOHNSTOWN – Last Thursday, a family of five had to leave their home after it was severely damaged by a fire.
Johnstown-Milliken Fire Chief Ron Bateman said firefighters were called just after 5 a.m. May 9 because of smoke coming from a residence on Woodbine Lane in the Clearview neighborhood on the west side of town.
"They went into the attic and found heavy fire," Bateman said. "(Firefighters from) Milliken brought in a second-hand line and were able to get ahead of the fire."

Classmate cheering section - We all would likely welcome having this kind of support and encouragement. May 9, the Weld County Special Olympics were held at Northridge High School in Greeley. Representing Milliken Elementary School were Logan Wheeler and Anya Wild (inset). The entire first-grade class at MES attended the event to cheer them on. The pair were also recognized May 8 at the Milliken Town Board meeting. Do you have a picture for Page 3? Items of interest for Around Town? Please submit them to email@example.com.

Following in the footsteps of his ancestors, this month's Johnstown-Milliken Rotary Student of the Month has definite plans for his future and that of the industry in which he is involved.
Tyler Bauer, 18, son of Michelle Dickinson and Scott Bauer, both of Loveland, will graduate with Roosevelt High School's Class of 2013 on May 26. He plans to attend Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, on a livestock judging scholarship, before transferring to Oklahoma State University, with plans for graduate studies in bovine reproduction and genetics at Kansas State University.
A student with a 3.5 grade-point average, Bauer was class president during his freshman, sophomore, and junior years and is currently Head Boy at Roosevelt, serving as Student Council co-president (with Head Girl Sami Oldson, the Rotary Student of the Month for January).
Five athletes to compete in six events at 4A meet
By Martin B. Hamilton/The Johnstown Breeze
JOHNSTOWN – A quintet in a half-dozen events.
Five Roosevelt High School track-and-field athletes have qualified for this weekend's Colorado High School State Championships that begin today (May 16) at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood.
In the state lineup are seniors Hannah Eining (100-meter hurdles), Viktor Baeza (110 and 300 hurdles), Tanner Starr (pole vault), junior Keira Maldonado (pole vault), and freshman Jacob Bejarano (high jump).
There were hopes to have sent more to state, but with the provision that only the top 18 in each event advance, there's no more qualifying through league or regional championship meets.
Do you think the police ignored evidence in the Cleveland kidnapping case?

Starr stars at 4A state meet
By Martin B. Hamilton/The Johnstown Breeze
LAKEWOOD – Way back on March 16, in the first meet of the track-and-field season, Tanner Starr stuck a result every other Class 4A pole vaulter had to aim for.
By clearing 14 feet, 6 inches, the Roosevelt High School senior not only won the title at the Windsor Invitational, he broke the school record and also set the bar at a height that put him atop the state's standings.
However, because of a triceps injury, Starr didn't compete again for several weeks. But his mark withstood the challenge for the duration of the season, and he entered the 2013 Colorado High School State Championships as the top-seeded pole vaulter in Class 4A.
Re-5J students to all get iPads
By Martin B. Hamilton/The Johnstown Breeze
No more lugging to and from school a backpack stuffed with heavy textbooks.
Within two years, every student in the Weld Re-5J School District will have an iPad.
That was the unanimous decision by the Board of Education at its May 8 meeting.
Through its "1:1 iPad Initiative," the district will supply students computer tablets in two waves. Each lightweight device will serve as a virtual backpack.

The Classified Ads: Read Between the Lines
Even with all of the available high tech resources for today's job searcher, the classified ad section in the newspaper remains one of the key tools to finding employment. The important element is learning how to use the classified section to your full advantage. Here are a few tips:
Read the entire section: A common mistake some readers make is to read only the section of the ads that they feel directly applies to their job type or profession. A better approach is to read the full section. Some employers do not place their ads in the most obvious place. For example, if you are seeking a hotel management position, you might be inclined to go directly to the hotels and restaurants classification. However, some employers might actually place their ads in the management classification, and you could miss a great opportunity by limiting yourself to one section. Pay attention to display ads: You will notice some employers take out large display ads. Oddly enough, some readers overlook these bigger ads while they are perusing the classifieds. For example, individuals looking for nursing jobs may find health care facilities competing for applicants, since there is a nationwide nursing shortage. The display ads may inform readers of possible signing bonuses or other incentives to apply. A smaller classified ad may not include this information. This is another reason to read the entire classified ad section, rather than just a single category.
Look for patterns: The ads are a good place to determine what types of qualifications employers seek. Compare ads from multiple employers who are looking for the same type of worker. You will begin to see patterns in the credentials, licenses or other qualifications the employers seek. This will help you determine if you are qualified, or what additional training or certification you may need to be hired.
Update your skills: Even if you are an experienced worker in your field, potential new employers may be looking for people with your background, but with some additional skills. For example, if you have worked in outside sales for a number of years, chances are you are very good at closing a sale and developing relationships with clients. However, you may find an ad that says the employer is looking for someone with a working knowledge of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software. This technology allows you to automate some of the skills you have in organizing, analyzing and supporting your customer base. Your experience is as valuable as it always was, but now you may need to update your skills to remain competitive.
Respond quickly: If you see a desirable job listing in the Sunday paper, your resume and any other documentation required should be on the employer's desk on Monday morning. The job market is highly competitive and timing counts. An employer who places an ad in the classifieds usually has an immediate need to fill the position. Since you have an immediate need to find employment, do not waste any time.
Develop a system: You must keep track and manage the ads to which you have responded. Keep a file on your computer that will help you track the jobs for which you have applied. Include the details of the ad, the date you applied and how you applied. Also keep contact information for the potential employers. It is important to follow up on available positions for which you applied, and by keeping a log of these ads you will know when you need to contact the employer to check on the status of your application. This will also keep you from applying more than once for the same position.
Never underestimate the power of traditional job searching, and do your best to read the classified ads in the Times-Picayune and job listings on Nola.com on a daily basis. |

Just in from Andrew, a West Seattle Resident...please contact him if interested!
Dear Seattle-area Host Families,
I'm a teacher near SeaTac, and I have been given the distinct honor (challenge?) of recruiting families to sponsor 30 teenagers from Spain this coming July. Your interest will help me reach that goal. The exact dates have yet to be determined, but roughly July 1-31 is the time-line. Last summer's group flew into SeaTac on July 3rd.
The students that will be visiting Seattle are fully insured, speak both English and Spanish, and bring their own spending money. They are excited to practice English with your family, experience authentic American life/culture/food, and assimilate into the daily routine of a typical American family for four weeks. They will require their own bed, but not necessarily their own room. If you have teens in your household that is a plus, but not a requirement! There are multiple benefits in hosting a Spanish-speaking student which include: improved motivation/achievement in your own student's study of the Spanish language, increased interest in world culture and travel, an opportunity to be an "ambassador" of sorts by sharing the many wonderful things that Seattle has to offer, and the possibility of future travel to Spain to stay with your newly extended European family!
I encourage you to discuss with your family the benefits and challenges of this NON-ACADEMIC, purely FUN, summer experience. Please feel free to contact me through the below contact information and visit the websites to learn more. And while not every family can be guaranteed a student to host, it is important that we find as many families as possible in order to ensure that these students will indeed have a home to stay in next summer. My team and I will work hard to find a student that matches the interests of your family! I'm looking forward to an exciting summer!!!
¡Muchas Gracias!
West Seattle Resident,
Here are a few photos of two new amenities in our Morgan neighborhood...
The new gravel pathway above Solstice Park on west side of SW 44th Avenue SW, between SW Webster and SW Fontanelle Streets. In addition to the path, you can see that the blackberry bushes have also been "grubbed" back about 10 feet from the road. Thank you Seattle Parks Department for making this a safer route to Solstice Park!
The new wayfinding kiosk at the northern end of Lincoln Park at the intersection of 47th Avenue SW and Fauntleroy Avenue SW (just south of the 76 gas station) was just installed as well. More on this project can be found here on the West Seattle Blog.
Vendors, Music, Food and Children's Activities!
Mark your calendars for the 2011 Morgan Junction Community Festival on Saturday, June 25th from 10:30am to 7pm! The festival will take place around the Morgan Junction Park located just north of the intersection of California Avenue SW and Fauntleroy Avenue SW in West Seattle (6413 California Ave SW, 98136) and will feature 40 local vendor booths, live music throughout the day, the "Bite of Morgan" and children's activities.
Local vendor booths in the parking lot behind Zeeks Pizza will feature an array of West Seattle businesses and community groups. Live music throughout the day on the main stage next to Beverage Place Pub will include exciting performances by Alan Ehrlich, Burley Mountain, and the Tongan Choir from the Seaview Methodist Church. Full line-up is attached.
And the "Bite of Morgan" is back again! Make sure to pick up your free coupon book at the MoCA booth before heading out in the business district to grab a "bite". Participating Morgan Junction restaurants include Kokoras Greek Grill, Meander's, Zeeks Pizza, McDonald's and Domino's. If the bite doesn't fill you up, Thirftway will be offering a BBQ lunch, with all proceeds going to next year's festival.
Children's activities in the Morgan Junction Park will feature a performance by the Bubble Man, face painting, chalk art contests and play time sponsored by Morgan Junction's Little Gym.
The Morgan Junction Community Festival is the best little neighborhood festival in Seattle. Join your neighbors for a day and enjoy all the community has to offer!
In attendance: 4 Exec Board members, 15 neighborhood residents speakers, representatives from the West Seattle Blog, King County Wastewater Treatment Division and Seattle Parks Department. Deb Barker, President opened the meeting by passing out the agenda and welcoming everyone. Announcements
Solstice Park Pathway Project, Suzanne Rockwell, Seattle Parks
Suzanne described where Solstice Park is. She then announced that the Solstice Pathway along 44th Ave SW is nearing completion! The path will be above the park on 44th Ave SW (btw SW Webster and SW Fontanelle) and will be made of gravel, not concrete, much like the paths already in the park below. The path should be complete by the following week. There will also be "grubbing" completed 6 feet beyond the path to remove the invasive bushes. In the park there is also some removal of invasive species happening as well as the removal of a large tree. She believes there may be extra money left over (3-4k) and wanted to know the group's thoughts on what to spend it on. People's questions/suggestions:
Suzanne suggested the following:
An attendee said he had a group of people to help with activities there. Suzanne said she will get back to this volunteer group as well as MoCA when she knows how much money she has left to make a decision on how to spend it. This was ok with the group.
Parks and Green Space Levy, Cindi Barker
Morgan has an allocation in the last Parks Levy for land acquisition for a new park (not development money). Parks has been looking for a piece of land big enough to buy and the best one appears to be off of Juneau (one block east of California) behind a large church building. Parks has contacted the church and they are open to selling the land to the City. Cindi wanted to know what people think of this idea. There were no complaints against it. She also mentioned that the church runs a men's shelter and so far so good with this. Could be a loitering issue if park there eventually. This site it is nice because it is not on busy street like California. Another idea has been expanding the current Morgan Junction Park northward. Cindi asked for a vote. 5 in favor of urban expansion, 5 in favor or of more residential park (like the church land). She asked for emails of any other suggestions and she will convey to Parks.
King County CSO Project, Martha Tuttle, Erica Jacobs and Doug Marsano, KCWTD
Martha will retire May 1st. Doug will be replacing her. They were here tonight to introduce us to him and to announce that SEPA comment period will be open soon. Be on the lookout for this. All households within 1000 feet of the Lowman project will get a postcard announcing his but you can also access it online here and call or write to them with comments. They once again announced the timeline and are continuing to work with property owners that will be displaced. They are selecting design team now through bid process (which has closed).
A big thanks was given to Martha for coming out often and much to the group. She donated the map that Deb has in her garage for future events such as the festival. Zipcars, Kate Gll de la Garza
Kate is disappointed that there is no longer a Zipcar station at Morgan. (There once was a Flexcar at Thriftway). She called Zipcar and they said that we don't have enough density (users) to warrant a station, so they are focusing on Alaska Junction, where most of the growth is. We can write a letter to request one, however, so we can have it on file there. Kate asked if people were interested in this, since it is concurrent with our neighborhood plan to have more transit options. The group agreed to do an online poll via Facebook and perhaps the WSB and WS Herald to gauge interest.
Traffic Circle Request, 38th and SW Graham, Patrick Dunn
Patrick Dunn spoke on behalf of his neighborhood as they are trying to get a traffic circle funded on their block, which is very dangerous due to cut-through traffic. As a major pedestrian and bike corridor, they are concerned for safety here. They need a letter of support in order to move up through the District Council in order to get SDOT funding for the circle. SW Graham is repeatedly mentioned in the neighborhood plan as needing improvements. Tamsen spoke up that she lives on this block and agrees that this is needed! She would like to work with Patrick on this. Cindi moved to support the letter, Chas second. Unanimous vote in support. Deb agreed to e-mail letter immediately to meet the quick timeline for District Council presentation. King County InMotion Workshop, Cindi Barker
Cindi reported on going to this workshop put on by KC and facilitated by Feet First, a nonprofit group. KC is partnering with local communities to create more alternatives to auto transportation. She pointed out that everyone there said they get all their neighborhood news from the WSB - we need to use them more for PR! Cindi said most people there were already using alternative modes of transport and would continue to do so with incentives offered. She was not sure how the findings of the workshop would be used. Chas reported that in Ballard they were giving away free bus tickits. Tamsen mentioned she went to Gatewood workshop and everyone mentioned Cindi as the neighborhood person from MoCA! Eldon volunteered to attend an upcoming Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee meeting at the City Municipal Tower. Police Department Update, Eldon Olson
Eldon meets with the SW Precinct Advisory Committee meets every 3 months, or as needed. He reported that a large burglary group in WS has been captured. As a result, burglaries are down 20%! Car thefts also down 20%. Please watch for strangers, usually in groups of 2 or 3 "casing" neighborhoods. Call SPD right away when you see this. Block watch programs needed, please contact the East Precinct to set one up. He also mentioned several neighbors have expressed concern about traffic and speed issues on California Ave near the Little Gym facility. They are looking into adding some signage like "Small children present" to slow drivers down. If you are concerned, please consider writing a letter too. Hopefully the new pedestrian improvements right up the hill will help (new curbs and flashing sign above crosswalk). Someone asked if we could get the flags for this crosswalk at Othello. Yes, just call SDOT, Barbara Gray, 684-ROAD. Deb reported that the work on California is nearly all done. The bump out and lights at Othello look great. Transportation projects update, Deb Barker
Deb reported that the new pedestrian safety improvements on California are nearly complete. The bump out and flashing lights at Othello look great!
Deb also reported that the traffic calming project on 48th Ave SW is ongoing, but that SDOT cannot install bike lanes as hoped due to poor pavement condition. However, they will install "speed cushions" like on Beach Drive. There will be a neighborhood meeting on May 19th at the Seaview Methodist Church to discuss. Likely starts at 6:30pm.
Morgan Junction Festival, Eldon Olson and Deb Barker
Board members discussed the planned activities for the June 25, 2011 festival.
Kids Activities: Chalk Art contests, Bubble Man, Little Gym activities, face painting
Music all day on the main stage as well as in Morgan Junction Park. Hours are from 10:30-7pm. List finalizing right now. Bite of Morgan again all around Junction with Kokoras and Zeeks signed on again. Vendor booths behind Zeeks - 20 confirmed already
Becky is new volunteer coordinator and we need volunteers for set-up and take down as well as some all day spots. Eldon is sending out sponsor letters to 47 businesses! Someone mentioned that we should table at the Alki Street closure day on May 22nd.
Emergency Preparedness Day, Cindi Barker
Cindi mentioned that a drill is coming up with the Office of Emergency Management. Need volunteers for this. This one is to test gathering at the HUBS, a little more high level. May 7th. Tamsen can help as well as Chas. 6-7 people total needed. The hubs for this drill will be at the Fairmount Hub at Providence/Mt St Vincent, and at the newest hub for North Delridge, at the Delridge P-Patch . Also mentioned was a Morgan specific mapping project that needs to be undertaken to determine suitable buildings for emergency use when disaster strikes. This info also can be shared with the Red Cross so that they can easily set-up. People needed to "ground-truth" map. Product will be a book of locations for emergency use. Morgan's HUB is the Thriftway parking lot.
By-Laws Update, Kate Gill de la Garza
Our by-laws need cleaning up. Not "mission statement" work - just small clean-ups. Kate asked for volunteers. Deb and Chas volunteered for committee. Anyone else interested should e-mail Kate.
Eldon explained the terms and who was up for election - Deb for president and Chas for vice president. He asked if there were any other nominations - none were taken. Tamsen motions to pass both positions together by unanimous ballot, Kate seconds. Deb and Chas are reelected unanimously. Anything new? Tamsen then passed out flyers for Cambodian New Year celebration in White Center. Dates to remember June 25th - Festival in Morgan Junction July 20th - Next MoCA meeting date
Respectfully submitted by Kate Gill de la Garza, Secretary.
Please join us for the next quarterly meeting of the Morgan Community
Association (MoCA) on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 from 7-9pm at the Kenney,

Remember Me

After playing around with the worldbuilder, i have started making a 2vs2 Stalingrad map.
I am using maps and photographs taken from the battle to try and make it as authentic as possible, and am also working on a skin pack for the russians (to replace the US).
Any hints tips or suggestions you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Screenshots will follow shortly, once i have finished the Tractor Factory part of the map.
