This house is very beautiful and met all of our expectations. The pictures are 100% accurate and this house is in a great location. We went sledding in Warren Dunes which was only 10 minutes away and it was great. Many grocery stores and gas stations near by for last minute items. Modern and clean house with all the necessities. Would be event better in the summer with all the outdoor areas. Tons of space to sleep comfortably. The owner is very helpful as well.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We had a great time at this property for a family reunion with 10 adults and nearly as many kids. There is plenty of room on the main floor for multiple groups to be doing their own thing. The proximity to Warren Dunes, blueberry picking, and other family activities gave us plenty to do each day. Very enjoyable week!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 4/4

We loved this rental. We had everything we needed for our family of 14, which included 2 toddlers. There was plenty of room inside the house, as well as outside. We enjoyed relaxing and playing charades on the big deck. There were 3 full bathrooms, plenty of towels, and the beds were comfortable and had high-quality linens. We had a couple of concerns upon arrival, and the property manager took care of those immediately. Doing laundry was challenging, because to get to the appliances (located in the basement) we had to lift a hatch door in the kitchen floor to access the steps. Someone then had to stand guard so the little ones wouldn't fall down the basement stairs. We managed this fine, however, and would recommend this house. The owner was prompt and accommodating when the reservation was made. The property manager could not have been any nicer. Our family took advantage of the following local activities: Saugatuck Dune Rides, St. Joe Carousel & Splash Pad, Charter Fishing, Kayak Rentals, New Buffalo Beach, Michigan City Beach, Michigan City Outlet Mall, Warren Woods State Park, Symphony on the Beach and Fireworks (New Buffalo), State Line Blueberry Farm, Oinks, Redamacks. We had a great vacation. Thanks, Jorge!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, sightseeing, girls getaway, families with teenagers.

Our group of 14 loved this house (4 families). It was extremely clean, simple and uncluttered. (If you have kids make sure to bring a few toys, games and puzzles as the house does not have any of these items). We have been renting houses in Michigan for 9 years and this is by far one of the better homes we have stayed in. The bedroom set up is great with 3 bedrooms with a queen and a twin, a bunk room for four which worked out great for the older kids plus there was a 5th bedroom with just a queen. The backyard and ravine next to the house kept the kids occupied exploring. The large deck and all season room were great places to hang out as well. The kitchen was stocked with basic cooking equipment, ample utensils and glasses. If you're in need of something special for a particular meal it's best to come prepared. We cooked a big meal and had no problems though with what was supplied. Overall a great value house, close to Three Oaks downtown, that we would consider staying at again.Recommended for: Families with young children, girls getaway.

Just spent 2 days at Retreat - it was great. It was a wonderful place for a friends get-a-way weekend.The home was extremely clean and very well maintained, it is a remodeled old house with lots of good taste and high quality staff. The bedrooms are small but welcoming, the house is located steps away from the street but still quite. We barbecue, played games and enjoy each other most of the time.

House was clean and spacious. Back porch was beautiful - very peaceful. Good proximity to Warren Dunes State Park (15 min drive). Dunes has very nice beach. Also, 10 min walk from Warren Woods State Park. Woods has well kept walking trail. Common area had many tables which made it ideal for our family. We were able to have one table for cards and games, one for jigsaw puzzles and one for eating. I think the kitchen and dining area would be small if you maxed out the capacity. Overall: two thumbs up.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

We had a lovely time in this freshly rehabbed five-bedroom home. It was tastefully decorated and obviously newly painted with comfy linens and just right kitchen goods. The house is uncluttered and very clean. We loved the deck and the kids loved the firepit. We enjoyed the elephant ears at the Harbert Swedish Bakery and dinners at The Red Arrow Roadhouse and Redamak's and Timothy's and the Tabor Hill Winery. We spent two days at the Warren Dunes and did some antiquing and blueberry picking. Thanks for your hard-work, Jorge, and for your prompt email and phone responses. We would love to see you again for a winter weekend.Recommended for: Families with young children, girls getaway, families with teenagers.

Vols like the Germans at Normandy during WWII?

"All right. Just reviewing that Alabama game, obviously a disappointing end result but there were a lot of good things we can build on and then there were a lot of things that are concerns and have been concerns all season. I think first off, if you look at it offensively, just the fact that we had a back rush for 100 yards; I think it was 41 games (since Alabama had allowed a 100-yard rusher). That's a positive sign.
"I was real pleased with the drive right before the half. We had a good opener in the first quarter, then we got into that second-quarter rut. But we had about a seven-play drive there with about a minute to go and got points. I think that was really encouraging.
"In the second half, we had a 10-play drive, a nine-play drive, an eight-play drive to start the third quarter. And even though Alabama was scoring, we had an opportunity to answer the bell. But that brings you to the real disappointing part -- our ability to finish those drives.
"We get to about the 32-yard line the first drive; we come out with no points. We get to the 10-yard line the second drive, come out with no points. And then we were down in the red area again and got no points. We're down there three times. If you get your goal, which is two out of thee touchdowns, that's 17 more points. But I think not finishing those drives, the psychology gets into it. So that was disappointing.
"On the defensive end, it was really a tale of big plays. I think they had about 69 plays in the game. For 61 of them, we held them to 230 yards. For eight of them, we held them to 300 yards. That's not good.
"A lot of balls over our head, long runs -- certainly it's a great team and some great players. But we didn't do our part as it relates to mental errors and trusting your technique and competing on those plays. That was disappointing. That's what ultimately was the difference in the game, those big chunk plays they had.
"Looking forward, the biggest thing we have to do is improve our stamina -- physically, emotionally, intellectually. The deeper the game goes, continue to trust in your technique, keep competing and not let anything break down. That's not what we're doing right now. (We're) not playing as confident consistently as I'd like, although there were a lot of times in the game that we did.
"This opponent we're playing this week, it's probably the best team they've had, certainly since '01. Defensively, they remind you of 'The Swarm' in the 80's. I don't know if you all remember them. I remember them because we played. They're fast and they're physical. They run to the football. They fly around.
"The formula on any good offense is great runner, great receivers and a quarterback who's playing really well. And they've got all three. That's a formula for having a good offense. It doesn't matter what offense you run. If you've got a great quarterback, a great runner and a great receiver, you're going to move the ball and score points. And that's what they're doing. Haven't lost a game at their house, so we've got a heck of a challenge. It doesn't get any easier, even though some people think we're out of the woods.
"Injuries, not a lot new. (Marsalis) Teague, he's the only guy that really I'm a little concerned about. He's a day-to-day guy. He's got a toe. It doesn't seem like a lot, but sometimes when you've got to run and cut, a toe can be a real nagging injury. It's kind of a turf toe deal, which is like a sprain. Daniel Lincoln, I don't know. We'll find out later in the week. And all the other usual suspects are still out for now."
If you don't have Marsalis, what will you do there?
"Well, we've talked about a lot of things. I don't think we have an answer right now. We might have to rep a safety over at corner some. (Brent) Brewer played a little bit better, and he played for the first time. And he did some good things. It doesn't mean he can be our guy at safety, but at least it gives you a little bit of encouragement. Maybe you can mix it up some.
"But there are just not a lot of different options. We're not playing to our potential in the back end at every position, which is another concern. It's going to be a tricky puzzle."
Maybe optimistic that Naz (Oliver) can maybe start practicing this week?
"I don't think there's any chance he'll play in the game, from what Jason's telling me. There's a chance he could play the next week, but we'll get him out there in practice and see."
On quarterback situation:
"I think it's too early to tell. The chances are we'll maybe stick with the same plan. But I think it's too early to tell. Matt (Sims) is a little dinged up. He got hit a few times. We'll just see how they do in practice today and tomorrow and the next day, and then we'll figure it out by the end of the week."
Some would say why isn't that stamina there seven games in. Is it directly a result of youth?
"I don't think it's a conditioning -- it's not a physical conditioning issue when I say the word 'stamina.' It's really more mental. It's psychological. It's emotional. It's intellectual. And it's just an ability to focus for four quarters.
"It's not just youth. There's so much inexperience. We have juniors out there that have never played before. So there's a little bit of, 'Well, they're young.' It's not so much in the years as much as it is in the games played. We have a senior offensive lineman, but coming into the season he started three times. I think experience is really a better word than youth."
Would you expect that to get better as you get into November?
"It should, it should -- if we're doing a good job of coaching and the players are responding. My history in this structure is you get stronger as the year goes. Where that hasn't happened in my past -- and I'm really speaking of the eight years not counting the NFL -- where we didn't get stronger later in the year was a result of a lot of injuries happening and that affected the roster.
"But I think if you just continue to work and hit and push and coach and focus on the day, you should get better. But the mental psyche is a real key to that. You have to keep believing and stay confident and not get affected by the results. And that's the challenge."
Where is that psyche?
"I don't know, I don't know. I think the psyche was good Saturday. We went out there and competed. The psyche gets a little tough when a couple bad events happen and we don't answer the bell. I think that's shown. When you play a really good team and they do some things to you and then you can't answer real quick and then you start getting like this. We need to work on that."
What's the difference in going through it with a young team?
I'm sorry, going through an SEC with an inexperienced team as opposed to at Tech going through the WAC schedule?
"There are some differences. There's four top-10ers you're playing. Let me say it this way: Probably the biggest difference is the expectations on the program. I don't think like relative to your competition the difference is as glaring. We went and played Boise and Nevada and Fresno, relative to them, it was tough. That isn't different.
"I think what's different is this is new to Tennessee, the results. It's certainly new to you guys. It's new to the fans. The players didn't come here thinking it would be like this. I mean, let's just call it like it is. When I was at Tech, it was pretty typical. So you're trying to get them to do something they hadn't done, if that makes sense. Here, you're dealing with a little different mental state."
Does that contribute when things go bad, maybe the old Super Bowl syndrome of when they falter in the Super Bowl they just kind of unravel?
"I think when you're strictly focused on the results – I want to win -- and not on the competition, I think that's when it happens. I think our team in many ways has done that. We're so caught into the results. And then when it looks like, 'Uh-oh, it's not going our way....'
"Now we haven't done that every game. And hey, Alabama, they overwhelmed us there, and we couldn't answer the bell. I don't think we shut it down; I really don't. That's what happens. And I think that's what happens in Super Bowls. You want to win so badly, and then all of a sudden things go bad -- 'Oh, we've come this far and we're not going to do it.' Then you quit competing. You almost wish you could just put a cover on the score and not tell them. Tell them all the time it's tied. Even though they just hit three touchdowns, it's tied. That's all I was doing, 'Guys, let's win the fourth quarter. Let's win the fourth quarter. Forget about.' Of course, I'm talking about a result."
Your first half, you've been competitive with about everybody.
"Except Georgia."
Right. The second half, not so much. You've been outscored significantly. Do you like where you are with your game plans going in, and then what do you think is happening in the second half?
"Well, I think it's a lot of things. I think the stamina issue, the experience. During the course of the game, the game always gets hard. It always gets harder. The plays you were hitting earlier, they're making adjustments and you're not hitting them. When you're stopping them early, they're going to make adjustments and you've got to be ready to react.
"The second thing is -- and this is really what I saw in the Alabama game -- it's the same stuff over and over. You've got to have the physical and mental and emotional stamina to do it again and again and again and again. Holding the B-gap, running to the ball, whatever it is -- that's what good teams do to you. They don't do a lot of, 'Oh they're stopping this, do this.' It's more, 'We're coming.' And you've got to stop it for four quarters."
Are you limited in your halftime adjustments because of experience?
"I don't think so. As a veteran team, are you able to do more? Of course you are. Are you able to carry more in a game plan? Of course you are. But it's not like that's the reason we're not playing well in the second half, I don't think."
Is it depth more than inexperience in the second half?
"I think depth's a factor. I think experience is a factor. We've obviously got to do better as coaches. That's No. 1; it always is.
"But you know, we come out in the Bama game, we've got two balls thrown over our head and then we seem to make more mistakes as the game goes. We're about to cut the game back to one score and we have a couple of bad mental errors. We get down to the 30; we have to kick a long field goal.
"Then we come back down, we're down 17 and we're on the 10-yard line. So worst-case scenario, we're still two scores down. Third quarter, we're fine. Best-case scenario, we score a touchdown and it's a 10-point game, we're in great shape. And we make a real bad decision. It seems like some of the mistakes -- just like the big plays in the first half.
"They had three plays for 100 yards in the first half. Still too many, but we had a ball go over our head. We had a 42-yard run where we had a bunch of misaligns and we had a tunnel screen on third-and-14. Those were the bad plays. But all the other plays were good, it's 13-10. Then the second half, we have five for 200. So the mistakes get greater in the second half. I don't know why. We've got to coach it better."
You talk about getting it thrown over your head – and I'm not saying you wanted to bench Art (Evans) or anybody – but what options do you even have? It's not like you can say, 'It's not working with this guy; let's try it with another guy.'
"Well, I think you've got to coach and trust your technique. If a guy plays perfect technique and the other team makes a play, OK. That's not the case most of the time. Most of the time we're affected in some way, and we don't trust our technique. We get a little nervous or don't know. Then it looks worse. You've got to keep coaching technique, process. 'This is what you're supposed to do. Did you do it on this play?' 'No I didn't, coach.' 'Well, this is what happened.' There's a consequence."
How much have you coached with two quarterbacks, and how will you manage that going forward?
"It's hard. It's not what you want as a coach because you can never win. The only way you win is if both quarterbacks play great and you win the game. That never happens.
"If one guy plays well early and you put the other guy in, well, we screwed up the rhythm. If one guy plays poorly early and you put the other guy in, well he never had a chance to play into the game.
"I mean, you can't win. But I just feel like sometimes you have to do it. You have to do it to help win the game."
What did Tyler Bray show you guys and are you happy with your decision to play him?
"Yeah, I think we are. I am. He got experience. I don't think looking back we would have won the game had we not played him. He put together some nice drives late in the game and didn't finish them off, which is what Matt did -- put together some nice drives and didn't finish them off."
Do you find yourself coaching more technique at this point in the season than maybe you have in the past? If so, how frustrating is that?
"It's not frustrating. That's our job. I tell our coaches that, why are you mad? If these guys could do it, we wouldn't have a job. You'd have one coach to say, 'Hey, go run a post route.' You ought to be happy they can't do it because they need a coach.
"If they could just do it and you're great, what kind of satisfaction do you get out of coaching? So you really ought to look at it like, these guys need you, let's go get them right. And then when they do well, you'll feel good about it. That's how I view it. But I always look at it a little backwards."
Because of the inexperience thing, are you doing it maybe more at this point in the season?
"On fundamentals? Is that what you're getting at?"
"Yeah, I think when you have a younger, inexperienced team you're always going to work fundamentals a little bit more. I've made that comment; we could have three spring practices. We need them."
Would you put Alshon Jeffery in the same category as Julio Jones and A.J. Green?
"We've seen some good ones. A.J., Julio -- and here comes another one. And this quarterback is playing better consistently than any of the quarterbacks we've faced. And then they've got a runner who got good and oiled up this weekend. Probably got massaged, you know. He's stretching, got a chiropractor on him getting ready for the Tennessee game. Watching the film, licking his chops, can't wait.
"They're just going to be arguing with the head coach on whether to run it or throw it because both of them look good. 'We ought to run it, coach. Look at the film.' 'I know, but have you seen the film on throwing it?' What we're hoping is they start arguing a little bit about what to do."
Back to that WAC comparison when you were at Louisiana Tech. What were the fans' expectations in those games against the better teams: Nevada, Fresno? Did they not expect to be that competitive against them?
"I think like all fans, the expectations are always higher than what is realistic. And that's what fans should have. But I think they had a greater history of not playing well in some of those games. There was a greater history of getting run out of the stadium on games when things went bad. Even though there was a lot of 'Hey, we expect you to do well,' when it happened, well, that happens a lot.
"Whereas here, I get reminded every week this is the first time since some Stone Age that this happened. It hasn't happened a lot here. So that's the difference. This is new. We're in uncharted waters."
Do you think those players at Tech tended to be more relaxed and maybe more resilient because of that and had less chance of getting frustrated?
"Yeah, but there's also a downside to it because there's an acceptance. That's what can never happen, and we can't allow that to happen on our team. That you accept, 'Well, that's who we are.' It worries me that we talk about we're inexperienced, we're not very deep and then players, 'Well…' It's an excuse not to win, and it can't ever get that way. It's inexcusable.
"I tell our team all the time -- we'll never compromise the standard, and we won't. It doesn't matter what the situation is. The standards are the standards. That's the caution. Because even though they're used to it, then you're looking for ways to lose the game. And that's a hard culture to change."
Matt Simms said he didn't think anybody deserved to take his spot. Do you like his competitive spirit? Or would you rather him keep that in house?
"I think the competitive side of Matt is that's what it should be. I think that Matt has really good character, and the team part of him understands what we're doing and why we're doing it. I wouldn't want him to agree with me by saying you need to get me out of the game. We'll try to contain his competitive side with you guys a little bit better. I need to talk to him before the end of practice, so he'll come out with a canned -- you know those canned, 'I'm all for what the coach says. I'm a team player.'
"But let's call it like it is. If you don't have a little selfish in you -- there's not a competitor out there that doesn't have it. I had it as a player. I mean, I was throwing pads in my locker when I thought they should have called a play for me to score a touchdown. But you've got to learn team."
You talked last week in practice about re-establishing the brand of competition and how you want these guys to play. What is your evaluation of that?
"I thought so. I did. I don't think anybody goes out there and says, 'We laid an egg against Alabama.' Now when you look at the score it looks that way."
When it comes to experience, is part of that being self-sufficient and having a little more responsibility in those kinds of situations?
"I think it comes with experience, and we've got to keep coaching it. You coach them so that, No. 1, they're not afraid to go out there. I think a lot of it is when you're new and you're young, you're afraid. You don't want to mess up. When the bullets are flying, you vapor-lock sometimes.
"You saw it in that little offensive series. It's just a lot of -- I want to go up to them sometimes when it's like that and go, 'What's your name?' 'Yes, sir!' Relax, and think, and compete. It just comes with experience. Going out there when you hit the field and you just feel calm and confident, I belong here. You're not afraid to take ownership in the decision.
"Right now, we're like the Germans in World War II, all right? Here come the boats. It's coming. The binoculars, like, 'Oh my God, the invasion is coming.' That's what they were doing. They were in the bunkers. 'It's coming.' They call Rommel. They can't find Rommel. 'What do we do? I'm not doing anything until we get orders. Have you gotten Rommel yet?'
"The Americans were the exact opposite. We hit the beach, and we're on the wrong spot, what do we do? I don't know, but these guys are firing, we better hide over there and blow some stuff up to get up there. They weren't looking for (orders). So we've got to make that transition.
"I don't want the German people to get upset at me. I'm not attacking. But that's what happened. You had one group, they weren't worried about what the plan was, what the orders were. When the war hit, things change. You've got to go. You've got another group, now wait a minute, they told us the invasion was way further north, where we had the empty tanks and were hiding Patton out. 'We weren't ready for this. What do we do? Well, we better wait until Rommel tells us what to do.'
"(Laughs) I hope I got my names right."
You did.
"(Laughs) What, are you like the king historian around here? Huh? All right, history minor at Tennessee."
You've now got three true freshmen on the offensive line.
"They're playing real well. Now that (JerQuari) Schofield's back -- now is he back 100 percent? No. Don't forget, he's a freshman -- but we'll probably let him integrate back in with (Jarrod) Shaw at left guard, which will bring us back to where we were in the beginning working (James) Stone in at center. That's probably where we'll head this week.
"I'll tell you, Zach Fulton played a phenomenal football game. He was one of our players of the week, him and Poole on offense. I mean really went out there and competed against some great football players, went toe-to-toe with them. Ja'Wuan (James), we all know he's doing well. So I think those guys in time are going to be good football players."
Who were your defensive players of the week?
"Nick Reveiz, and Chad Cunningham on special teams."
The substitution issue, it's four weeks in a row now you've guys have issues.
"Here's what we're doing. These are all firsts. I'm doing something I never have done in coaching. But whoever's on the field when we go field-goal block, that's who's running field-goal block. All my years, we substituted like a special team where you go try to block it. Our goal on field-goal block this week is to have 11 men on the field. Now we're going to have to teach them all what to do and all that. Probably won't block the kick.
So you're not substituting at all.
"That's the goal. If so, it may be one guy. We'll see where they line up. I don't know where they're going to line up.
"Some programs do it like that. I've always wanted to go try to pluck one. Be aggressive. And we've had a lot of success blocking field goals. But to do that, you have to substitute people and get your best rushers, edge guys, who's your slant technique guy, who's your edge rusher? Everybody's got different qualities they can do to try to get a little seam. We're going to have to back off the trying to block a kick for a little bit. Hey, it's what we've got to do because we're obviously not good enough coaches to do it the other way. That's a fact."
Will Shaw still work at center?
"We'll probably put Stone (at center), now that Schofield's back at guard. Yeah, Jimmy (Stanton) does the depth chart, guys. I don't even look at it, just so you all know."
At some positions it's a one-deep.
At left tackle and right guard.
"Well, we don't have a second-teamer. Who do you want us to put?"
I was just wondering.
"Fill it in. Put whoever you want."
"All right guys. Thank you guys."

Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck (Mason Neck) and Featherstone National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) are two of the three refuges comprising the Potomac River NWR Complex. The other refuge is Occoquan Bay. A Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) was already completed for Occoquan Bay in 1997.
We completed the Final CCP for Mason Neck and Featherstone NWRs in September 2011. The Draft CCP and Environmental Assessment (EA) was released in December 2010. This document represents years of work among Federal and State agencies, local and regional officials and communities, conservation organizations, and user groups.
To learn more about the development of the CCP, check out the planning newsletters.
The National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 (PL 105-57) requires CCPs for each national wildlife refuge. CCPs are 15-year plans designed to provide strategic management direction that best achieves the refuge's purposes; attains the vision and goals developed for the refuge; contributes to the National Wildlife Refuge System mission; addresses key challenges, issues, and relevant mandates; and is consistent with sound principles of fish and wildlife management. To learn more about CCPs and the CCP process in general, please visit What Are CCPs?

I'm pretty sure all babies are bipolar. They all have a sort of Jekyll and Hyde, devil and angel, kind of complex going on. How is it possible to go from smiling and giggling to screaming bloody murder in a split second?
I was describing my baby's personality disorder to a friend and she said, "You know, it must be hard being a baby."
I thought long and hard about this statement. What other species is born with such a big brain yet is able to do so little physically? They come into this world seeing their parents' smiling ecstatic faces yet they can barely lift their head to give so much as a return greeting. Even mosquitoes are able to fly at birth, yet it takes humans nearly a year to walk. My baby is 3 months old and struggles to hold her oversized floppy head in one place.
And then there's the communication aspect of their life. They must have so many needs and yet when they open their mouth to make a simple request, an ear-piercing wail comes out shocking both themselves and their parents. But then if babies were able to talk I imagine they'd say things like, "Change my diaper. I've got a hot one in there!" "Seriously? You haven't noticed my flaming red diaper rash?" or "I know I just ate an hour ago. I'm hungry again. Don't tell me you never eat too much!"
And the things we do to try to interpret their ever-changing wishes and desires. We sing all kinds of dorky nursery rhymes, we make goofy faces that we would never make in public, and we jump around and dance even if we have no rhythm. All of this to soothe an immobile cantankerous 12-pound ball of flesh!
We race around trying to console their rage. We put the baby in a bouncy chair. No? Doesn't work? How about swaying in a rocking chair? Still not it? OK. Well then let's dance to classical music. What's that? You prefer reggae?
So why do we act as lunatic slaves serving something so demanding, so relentless and so particular? Even though, at birth, a mosquito flies, a dolphin swims and a lizard crawls, human babies can smile at 6 weeks, they laugh at 4 months, and they play peek-a-boo at 8 months. And for these reasons we, as parents, act as idiots because these actions melt our hearts. It is what defines us as a species and creates the human experience. It is unconditional love because, gosh, it must be hard being a baby.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- In 2011 the Corporation for Economic Opportunity was awarded a grant for a community orchard.
The orchard was planted in the Rosewood community and now nearly 2 years later the plants are thriving and helping teach a community about how things use to be.
"It was our first community orchard and it is a symbol that people can plant food in their yard," Ryan Nevius executive director of Sustainable Midlands. The Community Orchard at Owens Field Park opened in November of 2011, it is growing well and is now a symbol of how things used to be according to Nevius. Nevius said, "A hundred years ago in Columbia everyone had fig trees and a pear tree or a persimmon or some other kind of fruit tree and we have kind of gotten away from that and we have sort of lost touch with our food supply." Now at the Rosewood orchard with the rows of apple trees, blueberry bushes, and other fruits, families can get back to the way it was years ago. Rebecca Munnerlyn, the past president of the Rosewood Community Council said, "It is wonderful for kids and parents to come out and see where their food comes from and how you can grow it yourself. She said, "It takes just a little water and nurturing and sunlight to grow something that you are proud of and your family can benefit from." "We have folks who are interested in these types of activities, in local food in supporting our local merchants and local businesses and it is just a great place to live," said Munnerlyn. Now both Munnerlyn and Nevius hope others will not only see the fruits of their labor, they also hope others will learn from the orchard as well. Nevius said, "We have already seen the fruits of people saying, 'I can plant that in my yard, this is how I prune it, this is how I take care of it,' and teaching someone how to fish is much better than giving them a fish." The orchard was awarded to Columbia by Edy's Fruit Bars after residents voted online. For more information on the orchard go to the Rosewood Community Council website at http://rosewoodcommunity.com/.

text: Note: this modification was developed by W8JI for his FT-1000D. Earlier production FT-1000MP's may benefit from implementing this mod as well, since similar circuitry was used. Warning: This mod involves soldering in very tight places - if you don't have the experience or equipment, do not attempt this or you really do risk damaging your radio. This mod greatly improves strong signal IMD in the FT-1000. I used a two kHz test spacing in the measurements, so the 12 kHz wide 70 MHz first IF filter did not make results look artificially better. I ran two HP generators through a combiner into the front end, and measured IMD with a selective level meter with 50 Hz BW and also with the 1000's internal meter (which is about 2 dB per S unit below S6, not six dB as claimed). This was the primary source of IMD in my brand new FT-1000, and the difference was dramatic. Remember this is a sample of one unit. I carefully looked but I never found anything wrong other than the fact the receiver forward biases the first FET in the noise blanker fully-on when the blanker was shut off, and that IMD feeds directly back into the 8 MHz IF stages. The result was a few volts of peak RF voltage on the FET drain, and considerable amounts of that voltage feeding back to the IF stage through stray coupling. I am working on better mods to the front end, but this is a substantial change. Be sure to use common sense and turn off power when soldering, etc. 1.) Remove the bottom cover, locate the noise blanker on the left rear corner of the IF board near the first group of 8 MHz filters. 2.) Locate TP -2001. Connect a 1N914 or any other silicon switching diode through a 10k ohm resistor to ground from that point, cathode towards the resistor and ground, anode towards TP-2001. DO NOT use a high leakage diode like a germanium diode. (Note: from N6BV: the FT-1000MP uses the same designation, as I recall, for the TP-2001 on its main board schematic.) (Note from N1EU: I put a solder lug under the adjacent pcb screw for a ground connection.) 3.) Connect a pair of common cathode connected diodes (same type) with one anode to pin 1 (brown wire) and the other to pin 2 of J2001. I just pushed the wires down in the pin of the plug and tacked them in place with a tiny bit of solder. You can verify these are the correct pins by measuring the voltage when switching the NB and wide NB buttons. Either or both NB switches "on" applies about 8 volts to either or both pins. (Note from N1EU: I think it's much easier to tack solder the diodes directly to D2094 and D2095 per the schematic below - see photo below.) 4.) Connect the common to the diode cathode and 10k resistor junction through a short hook-up wire. This mod removes forward AGC bias from Q2003 and 2004 when the noise blanker is off, and prevents IM distortion fed back via C2041 and foil traces from impacting the receiver when the noise blanker is off. It does not affect NB performance when installed.

We are Mediators Without Borders
MWB is an educational organization for our proprietary, research-based InAccord Conflict Analysis® model for Mediation, Arbitration and Restorative Justice training. We provide our students with the model and survey instruments to use in private practice, as associates, or within our InAccord Justice Centers around the globe.
5-day intensive Mediation & Arbitration Certification Training
Become a mediator using our measureable InAccord model of mediation that delivers a straightforward three-phase process.
A Message from Professor Brian Luther, JD
Why Choose MWB?
Training programs through Mediators without Borders are designed to empower the disputants, and informs the mediation approach that is used, based on disputant needs.
The idea of this model is to make the skills of conflict resolution directly available to the parties engaged in the conflict. Transparency is the central guiding principle of the InAccord model. Transparency means making the covert overt, shedding the roles of expert, and be open to mistakes and new awareness at every level of the process.
We believe the InAccord model of mediation is revolutionizing the field by providing a research validated way of determining the efficacy of mediation services and education. No longer do we have to guess or wonder if our trainees or the parties to a dispute "get" what we are trying to "teach". We can know immediately what they understand and, more importantly, what they do not understand.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Today, Net-a-Porter announced the launch of its new social network, The Netbook, inspired by the idea of a physical diary. Unlike the luxury e-tailer's preexisting shopping app, the community hub (which is also shoppable) aims to engage fashion influencers by browsing one another's most-coveted products in real time. "By seeing what your friends are 'loving,' you may turn up something that you might never have found otherwise," Sarah Watson, the retailer's group mobile manager, told WWD. The app, which is sponsored by Stella McCartney, is, at this time, available only for iPhone and iPad users. And like all newly launched digital luxury destinations, you must be invited to join—for now.

On Saturday, August 4, 2012, at approximately 10:35 p.m., Long Beach Police responded to a mobile home park in the 6400 block of Atlantic Avenue, in regards to a shooting. Once on scene, they discovered the body of 22-year-old Eleonora Rivera Hidalgo inside a vehicle parked at a residence within the park. Victim Hidalgo, who had sustained a gunshot wound to her upper torso, was being treated by witnesses. She was transported to a local hospital by paramedics and pronounced deceased shortly after arriving.
The preliminary investigation revealed that prior to the shooting, the victim and the suspect were arguing inside the vehicle that was parked outside their home. When a gunshot was heard, witnesses went outside to check on the couple and found the injured victim in the vehicle. As the suspect fled, he attempted to steal an unoccupied vehicle and was last seen jumping over a fence in the complex before disappearing from the area and remains outstanding. The victim and suspect lived together at the location and shared three children, ages seven, six, and two, who are now in the care of family. The suspect is identified as 24-year-old Marcos Gustavo Zermeno, a male Hispanic, 56 tall and 170 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Suspect Zermeno is a documented gang member and has a tattoo on his lower right neck that reads Eleonora, a collage of skulls on his right shoulder, and Compton on his right forearm. Detectives believe there is a possibility he may try to flee to Mexico.
The suspect should be considered armed and dangerous and at no time should anyone attempt to approach or detain him. Anyone who may have information regarding his whereabouts is urged to call the Long Beach Police Communications Center at (562) 435-6711. For an immediate police response call 9-1-1. Anonymous tips may be submitted via text or web by visiting www.tipsoft.com. Anyone with information relating to the investigation should contact Long Beach Police Homicide Detectives Mark McGuire and Greg Krabbe at (562) 570-7244.

"This card was perfect! We had it done as a thank you card to match our daughter's 1st birthday party theme! They were delivered within a week of ordering and we love them!"
"This design is so adorable and danty. It matches our invitations and just ties our whole princess them together. I've ordered from tiny prints on many occassions and have never been disappointed. I was wondering however, is it possible to have my thank you message printed on the back from you as well?"
"We haven't used these as yet, but I'm 100 % sure that we will be envied :) I'm satisfied with the quality of the paper. The design is so simple but very elegant at the same time. Thanks as always Tiny Prints."
"Tiny Prints has so many great design choices! These cards were just what I was looking for... cute, but not too baby-ish to use as thank you cards for my toddler for a long time. Simple design and great colors for a little boy."
"I loved this Thank you notecard. It matched my baby shower invitations. I loved that I could also print something on the back. We put a pic with a from. Loved them!"

Home Builders - Census Bureau News Offers A Profile of Typical Construction Business Owners In Minnesota
Destiny Homes has been building luxury homes and remodeling fine Minnetonka residences in Minneapolis and St Paul residential communities since 1977. Founded and owned by Butch Sprenger with his wife and home designer, Liz, their work on luxury residential homes from estates to historical homes to new construction of all home styles has earned them a name of reputation as a premier builder in the Twin Cities.
The new United Stated Census Public Use Microdata Sample survey findings from tax data indicates the sector of home builders is dominated by small businesses, particularly fiscally-transparent entities that report and pay income taxes at individual filing rates. The first-ever Survey of Business Owners (SBO) Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) was recently released. It highlights the U.S reliance on small business construction owners to meet the demand for new constitutions as home inventories dip, and construction owner's reliance on available capital to meet that demand. Destiny Homes, a Twin Cities luxury residential home builder and remodeler has know 35 years of successful residential construction projects and comments on the report. You can find the survey at www.census.gov/econ/sbo/pums.html.
Owners Of Construction Businesses Are Committed To Long Hours
According to recently-published Census Bureau's 2007 Survey of Business Owners (SBO) data, businesses in the construction sector draw upon various sources of capital for getting stated and managing expansion plans. especially sources that are closely connected to the owner's (or owners') assets. The data additionally suggests that construction industry business owners often work extensive hours, and that becoming a successful enterprise in residential construction demands it.
Running any successful small business includes the owner's ability to dedicate a significant amount of time. According to the SBO data, this is particularly true for businesses in the construction sector.
53% of owners reported working more than 40 hours a week in all businesses
59% of construction business owners worked more than 40 hours a week
23% of construction business owners reported working 60 or more hours per week
91% Construction Business Owners Work Over 40 Hours Per Week
As NAHB expected and summarized, "The vast majority of primary owners reporting lengthier workweeks tended to operate businesses with fewer workers. Indeed, firms with fewer than 20 workers on the payroll accounted for 91% of businesses in the construction sector with owners working more than 40 hours per week".
Construction Business Owners
The SBO Public Use Microdata Sample is useful today. Even though it's data is from 2007, it empowers today's analysts to more closely scrutinize sets of business characteristics from it than can be obtained from the standard published tables. The SBO PUMS has allowed researchers at The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) to scrutinized the construction sector in detail to glean insights from different financial and demographic view points.
Sole Proprietorships Dominate Construction Industry
According to NAHB's account, "in 2008 there were 570,987 S Corporations in the construction sector, generating $932 billion in gross revenue. Further, there were 203,285 partnerships in the construction sector with gross revenues totaling $273 billion. The most dominant form of business organization in construction, in terms of counts, is the sole proprietorship, with more than 2.8 million Schedule C returns filed in 2008 reporting $207 billion in gross revenue."
Given this structure of the industry, where do entrepreneurs raise capital to start up their businesses in the first place? The 2007 SBO data indicate that personal savings are a commonly used source of small business start-up capital and more so for the construction sector. A little more than 63% of all businesses relied on personal savings as a source of start-up capital, with the share rising to 66% for construction firms.
Census Bureau Survey Data:
Reveals that the size of construction companies mattered in realization to those who accessed personal savings to initiate their business as a home builder :
67% of construction firms with 10 or fewer employees
62% of construction firms with 10 to 19 employees
59% of construction firms with 20 to 49
57% of construction firms with 50 to 99
57% of construction firms with 100 employees or more.
Loving The Work And Put In Long Days
A necessary ingredient of any successful small business is the owner's ability to dedicate a significant amount of work/management time. According to the SBO data, this is particularly true for businesses in the construction sector. As expected, the vast majority of primary owners reporting lengthier workweeks tended to operate businesses with fewer workers.
53% of owners reported working more than 40 hours a week. For the construction sector
59% of owners worked more than 40 hours a week
23% reported working 60 or more hours per week.
Less than 20 workers on the payroll accounted for 91% of businesses in the construction sector with owners working more than 40 hours per week.
SBO Data Next Updated In 2017
The SBO is part of the Economic Census and is only conducted every five years in years ending in "2" and "7." We will have to wait till 2017 for updated data on construction owners from this source.
One valuable summary drawn from the Census data is that most construction businesses are integral, transparent small firms whose success depends on the efforts of a few hard-working dedicated individuals. These builders are key to the demands for new construction. For them to meet that demand and succeed in putting new homes out on the market for buyers, sustainable lending is necessary, which in turn will create new jobs to accomplish the work. As housing demand grows once again, legislators, politicians, and real estate professionals need to keep this in view.
Destiny Homes is a member of The Builders Association of MN which says, "The residential construction industry generates millions of dollars of the state's economy and provides jobs for tens of thousands of Minnesotans."

Pennsylvania Childhood Trauma & Injury Prevention Conference: A Community Approach
April 30 – May 1, 2014; Harrisburg, Pa.
This statewide conference will highlight key elements of childhood injury prevention with a focus on collaboration; topics to include emerging issues in the field and key community partnerships. Register
Be Smart This Holiday Season
The holiday season is here and for many kids that means one thing – toys. Approximately 50 percent of all toy purchases in the United States occur between the Friday after Thanksgiving and Christmas. In 2010, an estimated 181,500 children were treated in an emergency room for a toy-related injury; nearly half of those injured were children 4 and under. Tips to make sure you have a safe holiday season.
Imagine a World Where Every Kid is a Safe Kid
ACT to Keep Kids Safe from Heatstroke
A child dies from heatstroke (also known as hyperthermia) about once every 10 days from being left alone in a hot vehicle. In fact, heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash vehicle fatality for kids 14 and younger. Children climb into unlocked cars to play, or are left alone in the car. Young children are particularly at risk as their bodies heat up three to five times faster than an adult's. Because of this, and because cars heat up so quickly – 19 degrees in 10 minutes – tragedies can happen faster than you think. These tragedies are 100 percent preventable. Read More
Fire Safety
Every day, at least one child dies from a home fire and every hour approximately 14 children are injured from fires or burns. Ninety percent of all fire-related deaths are due to home fires, which spread rapidly and can leave families as little as two minutes to escape once an alarm sounds. Fires are not just a problem in the United States. In 2008, nearly 61,400 children around the world died due to a fire or burn.

The Danger of TV Tip-Overs
There are few things cuter than a baby learning to stand, an unsteady toddler trying to climb, or a fearless preschooler who still doesn't quite understand balance. And while young children are learning to perfect their stride, we want to take extra steps to ensure their safety. Protecting kids from the potential risk of tip-overs by making sure furniture and TVs are secured is an important way to help keep them safe.
Between 2000 and 2010, on average, every three weeks a child dies from a TV tipping over. And nearly 13,000 more children are injured each year in the U.S. Top-heavy furniture, TVs and appliances can be unsteady, and if pulled or climbed on, they can tip over and seriously injure young children. Over the last ten years, injuries from TV tip-overs have risen by 31 percent. Young children are at greatest risk and seven out of ten children injured by TV tip-overs are 5 years old or younger. These tragedies are completely preventable with just a few simple precautions.
Much like childproofing with a toddler gate or electrical socket cover, TV mounts and furniture straps are important steps to keep your family safe. Remember, a curious, determined child can topple a TV. Children playing with friends or pets could knock a TV over, while other kids might be tempted to climb up to reach items placed on or near a TV, such as remote controls or candy.

Child Passenger Safety: The Right Seat
Car crashes are the number one killer of children 1 to 12 years old in the United States. The best way to protect them in the car is to put them in the right seat, at the right time, and use it the right way.
There are so many car seat types and models, how do you know which one is right for your child? The right car seat or booster fits your child and your car, and is one you will use correctly every time you travel. Not only will your child ride as safely as possible, you will be establishing the foundation for a lifelong habit of seat belt use every time your child travels. Choose the Right Seat

Medication Safety: Use it Right, Close it Tight, Out of Sight
Each year, more than 60,000 children ages 5 and under are treated in emergency departments due to accidental medication exposure or overdose.

Perry Farrell: The Gang is a Weapon That He's Traded His Mind in For
I love Perry Farrell---I really do, even got him to blurb my first book and remain grateful to him he did, and for all his greatness as a performer and impresario--and he wrote one of my very favorite interestingly sophisticated (for a rock song taking on politics) libertarian rock tunes, "1 %."
But alas, now the failures of industry and government lead him to regretfully call for a government-music industry partnership, as reported on LAist.com:
Farrell also wants to go federal, seeking government help to regulate online music distribution. In doing so, he believes a cut of the increased revenue could go to the government with a chunk allotted toward music education.
Says the Jane's Addiction frontman,
"Let's try to organize something. It should be a case where the touring music industry, the recording music industry, distribution, all should sit down with government to figure out how we can get music to be really healthy again and recycle that money back into music, back into education, back into the city's parks and recreations where we have these great parties. I think it's a system that could absolutely work."
From the last time I saw, or doubtless will ever see, the real Jane's Addiction, a great performance of "1 %":
Bonus Jane's gossip: Eric Avery complains about his old partner Perry. Not about being soft on government, but still...

Their first live record XXX that had "Jane Says" and a killer cover of Sympathy for the Devil was a good record. Everything else they ever did, especially the much vaunted Ritual de lo Habitual is just pretensious junk. One of the most overrated bands of the last 30 years. They were like if Motley Cru had spent their youth listening to Lou Reed. Yeah, I guess Lou Reed is good taste in music. But they still suck
Anyone know anything about the band My Chemical Romance? They were at Firts Avenue last night and as early as 4:30 pm, there was a line several blacks long.
several "blocks" long.
If my kids were teenagers they could do a lot worse than listening to My Chemical Romance. Sort of an overproduced 21st century faux-glam knock-off of Queen, but that qualifies as above average by pop music standards.
I think they're big with the teenagers.
People think I'm a typo, but I was actually born to parents who didn't want me. Thank God for borderline illiteracy.
Transformer was Lou Reed's last good album. The rest of the 70's was very splotchy. And let's not even talk about 1980 and on.
i disagree. i thought New York was an excellent album
also, from an arrangement perspective, it's really well done. the entire album
Yeah, man, I really liked that one too.
I guess I did kind of like New York, but other than Halloween Parade, nothing really stays in my rotation. I guess I don't like how he mostly disowned melody after transformer. His speak-sing delivery annoys me, and the lyrics aren't so great that they overcome it.
i do agree he kind of abandoned melody. i like strawman, busload of faith and romeo and juliet off that album. i will give him credit for actually making a "concept album" and it not sounding totally pretentious
What's that called again, when government and commercial interests collude to control an industry? Oh yeah, fascism.
Perry Farrell, American fascist.
Jane says
Have you seen my rent-seeking around?
I feel naked
without it -
I think it's a system that could absolutely work."
This reminds me somewhat of how people who used to be criminal dope fiends find Jesus, and then become THE MOST SEVERE JESUSHEADS ON THE PLANET
Seriously, there's nothing like some ex-crack addict mugger loudly lecturing people on the subway about how glad he is Jesus saved his worthless ass.
Likewise, perhaps decades of being a rockstar impresario so distances one from reality that they suddenly believe in the fantasy concept that Government DOES ANYTHING that, "absolutely works".
I mean, look how well they do *everything else*...?
Seriously Perry; you should never have kicked.
Government-run music industry? what could go wrong?
Chi-coms do "Beat it"
i got to produce JA in college, and to this day, pigs in zen is one of my all time favorite songs...
with that said...
Were they as fucked up as their image or are they fakes?
They were actually pretty f-ed up. That being said, remember when punk in the USA was fueled by a DIY attitude? Entrepreneurs starting record labels, cross country touring in crummy U-Hauls? Despite no help from the government, and sometimes outright harassment from the police, PMRC, etc., some of these smart people somehow managed to thrive and make decent money and careers in music. Perhaps Farrell should look inward to find the creative spark and build a new business model that does not involve a government partnership. Pretty lame, dude.
Yeah or make some music people want to listen to and hit the road rather then trying to squeeze a few more pennies out of stuff he recorded twenty years ago. What a concept?
And yeah, I do remember all that. Somewhere along the line, Henry Rollins got a talk show and Perry Ferrell started asking the FBI for help enforcing movie rights. Things have kind of gotten off track you know?
I mean music rights.
The government is the enemy until you've got a mortgage to pay.
i recall perry screaming at the audience "you're all probably a bunch of republicans!"
i kind of lol'd because it was UCSB. he was right.
I was at that show.
NICE! mary's danish, and iirc one of my buddies bands The Burning Couches was also on the bill. sadly, my band was not :(
it was kind of windy and at one point, it looked like the stage backdrop was going to fall over.
I was there too. Saw many a Burning Couches show (sometime later known as zof-tix??) in my IV days.
nice. i used to jam with them on rare occasion, but had my own band. funny story was a bunch of SB high school kids had a practice studio right next to the one we used. we used to give them "advice". next thing you knew they had a record contract and an MTV video. bastids!
if you are referring to drug use, not that i saw. otoh, red hot chili peppers were shooting up heroin when i produced them...
"when i produced them"
Wait, what?
I'd also like to hear about that. Sounds interesting.
i produced a show they did. i didn't mean i produced them, as in i was their producer. anyway, i went backstage to give them some updates and the needle was IN!
During the recording sessions, Farrell stated he wanted fifty percent of the band's publishing royalties for writing the lyrics, as well as a portion of the remaining half for writing music. Bassist Eric Avery said he and the other band members, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins, were stunned by Farrell's demands.[2] Farrell refused to compromise. One day Jerden drove up to the studio to find Farrell, Navarro, and Perkins leaving; Farrell told him that the band had broken up and that there would be no record. Warner Bros. called an emergency meeting to resolve the situation. Farrell got the royalty percentage he sought, and the other band members received 12.5 percent each. Avery said the incident had a profound effect on the band, creating an internal fracture.[3]
Yeah Perry is an asshole.
And by Ritual, they couldn't stand each enough to be in the studio together for any song but Three Days, and it showed. Mediocre album. Nothing's Shocking, however, was a fantastic album in my opinion, and one of my favorites in high school. Mountain Song and its attendant video were so far out there for pop culture in 1988/9, it's beyond belief. But, like you, I also like the XXX recording better.
Yeah, Nothing Shocking was a good record. IN fairness when I first heard Nirvana and all the bands from Seattle my first thought was "hasn't Jane's Addiction been doing this stuff for two years?"
You mean heroin?
that to.
Isn't Navarro directing porn now? Anybody know if it's actually interesting or just the same old stuff (not that there's anything wrong with the same old stuff)?
Perry helped out some friends of mine when their car broke down in LA. He happened to be getting money out of an ATM where they were broke down.
I also got to party hard with Stephen Perkins (Jane's drummer) at a Halloween party here in Tempe, AZ back in, oh, '91.
Good times.
Way to turn into a complete tool, Perry.
Perry Farrell turns out to be a rent seeking piece of shit? No way, getdafuckouttahere!
Aren't Lollapalooza acts contractually obligated to not perform within a hundred miles of Chicago like three months in advance of and in following the festival? Not that there's anything wrong with that...
XXX also has a great cover of Lou Reed's Rock and Roll. And Nothing Shocking is a good record. After that it was all down hill.
Oh, how I long for the heady days when alt-butt-rock frontmen were whining like little bitches about the government censoring their shitty album covers. How times have changed.
They can censor it just as long as they keep it off of pirate bay man.
Does that apply to masturbatory wedding videos too?
Blessed with brains wired in a particular way -- for music -- musicians, like other artistic performers, are morons.
If not for the mass of low IQ idiocy who worship idols of the celebrity, everyone else would mock such amusement jesters.
The Wilsonian inspired and FDR implemented fascist America allowed the oligopoly scam of the recording industry to go on far longer than it should have.
Ask U2 if they need government sponsorship?
The band's U2 360 world stadium tour is now the biggest-grossing concert trek of all time...
With Sunday night's performance in São Paulo, U2 surpassed the $554 million earned by the Rolling Stones' A Bigger Bang tour in 2005-07. By the time the two-year tour wraps up July 30 in Canada, it will have made more than $717 million, sold 7 million tickets and played 110 stadium shows in 30 countries. -
Wow form a band and actually play your insturments and be able to give a performance people want to hear and make millions. What a concept. That could never work. The only way for art to survive is by destroying privacy and freedom to keep the 20th century recording business model from dying.
"Blessed with brains wired in a particular way -- for music -- musicians, like other artistic performers, are morons."
As someone who used to write pretty good songs and also used to be really stupid, I agree that aspiring musicians should avoid learning anything important. Learning one important thing might serve as a gateway leading to all sorts of other important concepts and once you integrate them into a single non-artistic worldview, your music career is over. Then again, it might be true that my old songs were shitty and so is all the music I'm comparing it to.
Also, prepositions are what I like to end sentences with.
"Blessed with brains wired in a particular way -- for music -- musicians, like other artistic performers, are morons."

While I agree that most musicians are morons, the same can be said of humans in general.
Why yes. Yes they did:
The U2 record incidentNegativland's next project was the U2 EP, with samples from American Top 40 host Casey Kasem. In 1991, Negativland released a single with the title "U2" displayed in very large type on the front of the packaging, and "Negativland" in a smaller typeface. An image of the Lockheed U-2 spy plane was also on the single cover.
The songs within were parodies of the group U2's well-known 1987 song, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", including kazoos and extensive sampling of the original song. The song "The Letter U And The Numeral 2" features a musical backing to an extended profane rant from well-known disc jockey Casey Kasem, lapsing out of his more polished and professional tone during a frustrating rehearsal which had gone out to many stations as raw feed and was taped by several engineers, who had been passing it around for a number of years. One of Kasem's milder comments was "These guys are from England and who gives a shit?" (U2's members are in fact from the Republic of Ireland).
U2's label Island Records quickly sued Negativland, claiming that placing the word "U2" on the cover violated trademark law, as did the song itself. Island Records also contended that the single was an attempt to deliberately confuse U2 fans, awaiting the impending release of Achtung Baby, into purchasing what they believed was a new U2 album called Negativland.And the fucking irony of this is that while U2 was suing Negativeland, they were in the middle of the Zoo tour where they were projecting live images onto huge screens of anything they could pull off of media satellites...without paying copywrites.
I think there is a difference between using someone else's music to make money, which is what negativeland was doing, and copying music. Negativeland had a good point in arguing that we shouldn't have to ask permission to parody someone. But at the same time, they packaged their single to make people think it was a U2 record and mistakenly buy it. And that is fraud. Negativeland were a bunch of douchebags.
That still doesn't justify the hypocrisy outlined in my final paragraph.
How was U2 ripping anyone off or committing fraud by pulling shit off the satilite? If negativeland were putting up U2 videos behind them at live shows and U2 sued them, that would have been hypocritical. Or if U2 had done a record called "Lou Reed" that was remakes of Lou Reed songs without paying royalties, sueing Negativeland would have been hypocrtical. But that wasn't what happened. Negativeland deserved to be sued. U2 should have sued them for no other reason than to keep their fans from getting ripped off.
Nobody would confuse Negativland with U2 -- it was a clear example of sampling.
Should U2 have received any royalty cuts? -- Yes, but I doubt there were any profits. Where I lived, Negativland was only played on community radio.
The music sounded nothing like U2. But the packaging was made to make the record look like a U2 record. It had a big U2 on with "Negativeland" in small caps below it. When you saw it you thought it was a U2 record called "negativeland". To me that was the objectionable part, not the parody songs.

That was a central part of the parody. That's like saying you are okay with Hunter S. Thompson, except for all the talk about drugs.
So defrauding people is okay as long as it is done in the name of parody?
I reject the premise that any fraud was occurring. Maybe you think Tina Fey was defrauding SNL's audience when she put on glasses to look like Sarah Palin.
The U2 single by negativeland was released on SST records, filed in the Negativeland bin in record stores and only available at the kinds of record stores that carried SST records.

In the end the publicity probably helped Negativeland. They lost something on the order of 100k on U2 much more than they had ever LOST on previous records (all were net losses, I am sure...I mean, have you seen the handmade covers on their early records?)
Then they were able to ride the publicity to make a movie which was an underground hit, and sell some records (still not many). Their story is one of the prime examples of the abuse of copyright.
I think there is a difference between using someone else's music to make money, which is what negativeland was doing, and copying music. Negativeland had a good point in arguing that we shouldn't have to ask permission to parody someone. But at the same time, they packaged their single to make people think it was a U2 record and mistakenly buy it. And that is fraud. Negativeland were a bunch of douchebags.
You have that story completely wrong.But they have more than "a good point" when it comes to the right to parody without permission. Their use was clearly fair use.
While no doubt you meant well, Anne; your example fails to show that U2 needs government sponsorship or ever needed such.
Yet, by your expression "Why yes. Yes they did", you believe so, however wrong in your belief.
Your example reveals the members of U2's respective interest in their property, their right of ownership of what they create.
Yeah, because what Perry Farrell says is totally worth considering at all. Right.
I think I prefer taking advice on how to establish and maintain sectors of the music industry from Justin Bieber.
""In doing so, he believes a cut of the increased revenue could go to the government with a chunk allotted toward music education.""
The government already gets a chunk of the revenue as taxes. What a tool.
Didn't he falsely claim that he was HIV-positive too?
I never understood why people would make a claim that they have AIDS (or straights claiming that they're gay).
Unless it is done in complete desparation to run off a drunken fat chick who will not get the message, why would any straight guy claim to be gay?
Because some women believe they can "change" you so there is value in letting them make the attempt.
I wish I were queer so I could get chicks.
Anthony Keidis (Sp?)--the front man for Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kurt Cobain both did.
A couple of hipsters in my town, alt-journalists, did too. All around the same time period.
My gay friend developed a real affinity towards that dork for the Chili Peppers. He was heartbroken when he found out it was just a front.
Everyone has AIDS
One of the greatest sideshow attractions to the whole Napster dust-up in the '90s was watching lefty musical icons like Don Henley come out defending Big Evil Corporations (i.e., the record companies that provided their rice bowl). Delicious.
And fuck Perry Farrell, that overrated Lou Reed wannabe.
Yes it was. Don't forget Metallica's whinning on the subject.
except i don't recall metallica being a bunch of lefty "corporations are evil" whiners.
The guy created Porno for Pyros, so I think we're all more than justified in questioning his judgment.
Of the thousands of cd's I've bought in my life, I've only re-sold three of them. Porno for Pyros was one.
You ladies like MTV pop-metal?
The Simpsons nailed Farrell in their Hullabalooza episode:
"Homer, nothings more important to me than the health and well-being of my freaks... I'm sending you to a vet."
But now I'm not.
in the immortal words of tom petty as visualized by johnny depp "a rebel without a clue"
figure out how we can get music to be really healthy again
Music is doing just fine.
The record industry is not music.
That said, my buds who own record stores are doing just fine, so I am not sure what problem he is trying to solve.Oh wait...when he says "music" he means the "Rock Star" industry.
Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening.
