Housed within the School of the Arts at McMaster University
The MAPLE lab conducts empirical research that examines the psychological roots of the musical experience. We investigate musically-inspired questions such as how a performer's body movements affect the way audiences "hear" music, why "moving-to-the-beat" improves the auditory experience, and how composers and performers communicate emotional meaning. Through this work we aim to contribute to issues of broad relevance to auditory perception and cognition: assessing theoretical frameworks of audio-visual integration, exploring sensorimotor interactions, and investigating parallels in the communication of emotion in language and music. Consequently, we are invested not only in contributing to core issues in music cognition, but also applying our findings to a broad range of topics in cognitive psychology, music pedagogy, cognitive neuroscience, and auditory perception.
Welcome to the Music, Acoustics, Perception and LEarning lab. We are housed within the School of the Arts at Master University, and affiliated withthe McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind. Our lab is dedicated to examining the psychological basis of the musical experience, with research projects exploring the role of visual information in music, musical timbre, the communication of affect in language and music, and general questions surrounding music perception and cognition

Structural engineers hired to inspect Pleasanton's 88 bridges

$750K to inspect bridges seems like a reasonable expense. Once the recommendations are submitted to the city, what's the plan? Is the city able to take action financially? I drive around on Pleasanton streets & wonder where does the city get money for much needed street repair? Oh! What was I thinking, they don't. So now investing in inspections seems futile. I'm no genius, but how many potholes will $750K fill? In Pleasanton? NONE! Money well spent?
on Jul 23, 2013 at 8:16 am
The 1941 Steel Bridge was built to handle 1/5th of weight/traffic that has been crossing each day for the last 12 years. There is also a width issue, if some trucks are crossing in the opposite direction, it pushes the other side into the side of bridge.
Seems like just a matter of time before a major accident will occur here and if that is the case it will cost the city 5X more than the current expected cost to replace with improvements.
Needs to come off the back burner and do what is right SAP !

What happened to tipping just because the service was particularly good?
Although it's illegal for restaurant owners to use gratuity to bump their employees' wages up to minimum wage, enforced tips are clearly still being relied upon
It all started out as a bit of harmless fun, a couple of quid here and there after a particularly enjoyable meal. Tip what you like, when you like - those were the rules.
But before long, some restaurants got a bit too big for their boots and the cheekiness began. Quite often now, huddled away in size eight font at the bottom of a menu, lurks the line: "A 10 percent service charge will be added to the bill."
What was previously a way of showing appreciation for good service is now not only expected, but enforced. Of course you could just refuse to pay - and you'd be within our rights if the service was subpar - but, being British, the economic shortfall would be more than made up for by the level of embarrassment involved.
This irritating trend of mandatory tipping takes the p*ss most spectacularly in two situations.
The first is in self-service restaurants. SELF-SERVICE restaurants. Fancy something to drink with that MSG? Of course you do, but it's going to set you back a pound for someone to pick up that overpriced coke and bring it over. Imagine if that level of guilt-fuelled generosity existed in other aspects of life too. Pass the salt? Show me the Benjamins.
The second situation came along the other day when I was enticed into a Camden restaurant by promises of half price dim sum. Being a) a debt-ridden recent graduate and b) absolutely tragic for dim sum, imagine my dismay when the compulsory service charge was double what I had anticipated. You see, it had been calculated before the discount was applied, effectively putting it at 20% of the bill.
"I have to pay my staff," came the manager's reply when I picked him up on the matter. And therein lies the problem.
Although it's no longer legal for restaurant owners to use gratuity to bump their employees' wages up to minimum wage, enforced tips are clearly still being relied upon when it comes to staff pay packets.
Of course, the majority of waiters work incredibly hard and are often on their feet for hours at a time, so they shouldn't stand to lose out from any change. Instead, let's just be upfront about it - price staff wages into the food and leave the small print to the mortgage brokers. That way you know right off the bat exactly what you'll be paying, without having to cough up more to subsidise one of the manager's overheads.
What's more, once waiters are properly paid, the prospect of a discretional tip acts as a sort of incentivised bonus. Out for a meal in Leicester Square for my mother's birthday earlier in the summer, our waiter was not only competent, but took the time to have a laugh with us and - most impressively - responded well to my dad's inevitable attempt at banter (explaining to the Geordie, in his best Newcastle accent, just how much we loved watching Ant and Dec as children). The willing tip payment that followed was somewhat dumbed down by the fact that, had our waiter been grumpy and useless, he'd still be pocketing the same amount.
So, with claims that Londoners are dining out nearly four times a week, let's pave the way in the opposite direction to the US where every tiny deed done for someone comes with a cash reward. Waiters would get a decent wage and a little bit extra if they impress, and I'd get my dim sum guilt free, at least until I start thinking about the calories.

Improving communities in large cities is a complex
process that often requires expert knowledge. As such, professional groups
remain the principal stakeholders and ordinary citizens have little say in
matters relating to property, land use and construction of infrastructure
systems within their city. Our two speakers will talk about their experience in
engaging and benefiting local people incommunity improvement.
Maida is a professor of public health
at the UCLA School of Dentistry and a member of the faculty at the UCLA
Institute of the Environment and Sustainability. His expertise
includes community-based research on natural hazards, community toxics,
environmental disease, and urban populations.
Cannon is the co-founder and president
of Concerned Citizens of South Central Los Angeles (CCSCLA), a grassroots
organization, founded in 1985 to oppose the building of a municipal waste
incinerator in her community, as well as, to address other environmental,
social, and economic problems impacting the South Central community. Environmental Justice Initiative

There are more serious pathologies in Donkledom than Thanksralphery, but none so consistently hilarious. The conviction that a few thousand fringe characters, rather than the hundreds of thousands of registered Democrats who voted for the Republican candidate, were the wooden stake through the mechanical heart of the electronic Saint Albert Gore is only one of many sharp edges in the cracked ontology of the Democratic faith, and through their many refractions comes light as through a kaliedescope after a good mouthful of mushrooms*. On the other hand, my sympathy for Nader is almost entirely formed of my antipathy for the Donk and all she stands for. Were it not for my underlying pleasure at the ruined chances of Mr. Iraq Liberation Act and his running mate, the Huckleberry Hound, I'd be more hostile, because, at last, the radicalism of your basic Naderite barely dips below the soil; these are people, by and large, who believe in democracy, the sort of campus revisionists who used to insist that just because virtually every instance of the adoption of Marxism-socialism-communism as a practical ideology resulted in vicious, tyrannical dictatorship, well, that didn't mean that wouldn't work if someone would just do it right. The third-party impulse in American politics, of which Nader is the most prominent but not the sole example, is an example of a venal ideological commitment to a system premised on the ridicule, corruption, and destruction of internal dissent. Even to cast oneself as a "protest" candidate and asking supporters to cast a "protest" vote is to reify political obedience as a concrete expression of political will, when in reality all you've done is waste gas and most of your morning in order to play your part in legitimating a farce.
Case in point: I had to pop over to the optometrist today to get a pair of glasses repaired, and on the way a pair of college dudes in bad sandals stopped me and asked if I'd sign a petition to get Nader on the PA ballot. Despite all those nasty things I said just above, I refer you back to my opening, and say simply that yes, I am dyspeptic enough to sign off on such a thing, if only in order to give myself a chance to cackle at other's misfortunes later on. I told the kids that not only would I sign, I would sign many times in many hands, using the names of living friends and relatives, all verifiable, none of whom would balk in the least at this minor act of political vandalism. They met the offer with such looks of horror that even I was momentarily taken aback, thinking maybe I'd murdered a cat, but no, no, that wasn't the case. "That would be . . . fraud," the long-haired one whispered, then hissed, glancing around as if expecting to be overheard. "Fraud!?" said I. You're trying to slide your way into a contest so rigged and fraudulent as to beggar belief in the first place, and beyond that, it's a contest whose design is inherently hostile to you, which sets up extraordinary impediments to your participation at every opportunity, undermining you at every chance with almost sadistic glee. And you're worried about a little ballot-stuffing in a petition whose sole purpose is to get you into the locker room, where at best they'll ridicule your little pecker and stuff you into a locker before heading out onto the fields? Seriously? Fah real?

The Astral Significance of Ralph Nader
Foodie Friday, by Request
If you're not growing your own greens, you're dumb. Throw some seeds on dirt, water that shit, and there are your greens. That's all. What's wrong with you, you lazy fuck?
Whole trout wrapped in arugala and baked in parchment paper
A simple preparation that adds just a hint of peppery herbal flavor to the clean taste of the fish, this is one of my favorite summer meals. I serve it with a simple lemon-and-cardomon-flavored orzo and a green salad. A basic cous-cous with pine nuts, cucumber, and sorrel (or mint) is another good bet. You'll want whole, boned trout, fins trimmed and head on. Each trout yields two small filets. If you're a skinny faggot like me, one filet is good for a serving. If you're fat (i.e., anything larger than a skinny faggot like me), you'll probably want a whole fish. Most good fish counters or markets will bone the whole fish for you; some grocers and markets sell them as "prepared trout."
fresh arugala
fine sea salt
white pepper
extra virgin olive oil
parchment paper
Preheat the oven to 350. Rinse the trout outside and in, then pat dry with paper towels. Lightly season the interior of the fish with salt and pepper. Blanche the arugala for 15-20 seconds (no more! it's very delicate) in boiling water, then immediately transfer to an ice bath. Wrap the fish head to tail in the slightly softened greens, so that almost no flesh is visible. Place the fish on a piece of parchment paper three times as wide and one-and-a-half times as long as the fish body and drizzle with olive oil. Lengthwise, bring the two edges of the paper together, fold over a qarter inch, then another, then roll down tightly to the fish. Then fold in the two open ends in a rough triangle (as if wrapping a gift), then roll them tightly to the fish. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 10-12 minutes. Remove. Let cool slightly. Unwrap, remove arugala, separate the filets, and serve warm with a small wedge of lemon.
Dr. Pangloss vs. Godzilla
Given the fundamentalist, self-sacrificial mindset of the mullahs who run Iran, Israel knows that deterrence may not work as well as it did with the comparatively rational men who ran the Kremlin and White House during the cold war. They are likely to use any bomb they build, both because of ideology and because of fear of Israeli nuclear pre-emption. Thus an Israeli nuclear strike to prevent the Iranians from taking the final steps toward getting the bomb is probable. The alternative is letting Tehran have its bomb. In either case, a Middle Eastern nuclear holocaust would be in the cards.Color me skeptical, but for the sake of assumption, let's take as given that there's some validity to this bluster. This is military policy as conceived by the sort of people who we've all run into in our working lives: "You can't fire me! I quit!" In other words, dangerously unstable and totally unselfreflective marginal personalities who will probably one day return with a gun. In other words, plain dangerous. The most voracious consumer of Israel-Will-Be-Destroyed fodder is Israel's own political class, and why wouldn't it be so? Were they not able to make the case that they sit perpetually on the knife-edge of destruction, their hold on power would substantially weaken, and some pussified socialist kibbutzers might just take over and fag up a proudly martial nation. Reading between the lines of Morris' article, which isn't hard to do since it's written entirely in capital letters, each 1,000 feet tall and outlined in neon, one comes away assured of the point that we vicious anti-Semites have been trying to make lo these many years: that Iran does not and cannot threaten Isreal, that the Israelis are the one with the air force and arsenal of nukes, and that while Iranian rhetorical bellicosity can be Wagnerian in its heights of chest-clutching, diaphram bursting intensity, when push comes to shove on the playground, we all know whose ass ends up in the mud.
Iran's leaders would do well to rethink their gamble and suspend their nuclear program. Bar this, the best they could hope for is that Israel's conventional air assault will destroy their nuclear facilities. To be sure, this would mean thousands of Iranian casualties and international humiliation. But the alternative is an Iran turned into a nuclear wasteland. Some Iranians may believe that this is a worthwhile gamble if the prospect is Israel's demise. But most Iranians probably don't.

Out of this Furnace
By embracing market economics while preserving the party's monopoly on power and restricting political freedom, Mr. Pan writes, China's Communist leaders have concocted an "authoritarian capitalism" that "could be as exploitative as anything Marx — or Mao — ever envisioned." Free markets and private enterprise, he says, "generated wealth and prosperity, but unrestrained by democratic institutions, they also produced grim work conditions": without trade unions, a free press, independent courts or elections, workers have little leverage with their employers and no way to remove corrupt officials, who often collude with business interests.Wow. Yeah. Those wily Chinese sure have come up with a unique system of state capital. Unprecedented.
-La Kakutani reviewing Out of Mao's Shadow
Mere Anarchy Is Loosed Upon the World
This shit is good:
And perhaps most tellingly, despite their disagreements, Greenwald and vanden Heuvel both supported Obama's practice of going out of his way to attack black poor people, most recently in his scurrilous Father's Day speech and again before the NAACP. (And, by the way, he grew up without a father and is running for president, no?) To Greenwald, this is the "Obama we want to see more of," the one who takes positions that are "unorthodox" and "not politically safe." Since when has it been unorthodox or unsafe politically to malign black poor people in public? Who the fuck has been doing anything else for at least twenty years? Public sacrifice of black poor people has been pro forma Democratic presidential strategy since Clinton ran on the pledge to "end welfare as we know it" and made a burnt offering of Rickey Ray Rector, and victim-blaming based on just-so stories about supposed "behavioral pathology" has been the only frame for public discussion of poverty for at least as long. To vanden Heuvel, Obama's contretemps with Jesse Jackson, who, ironically, has his own history of making such attacks, around this issue reflects a "generational division" among black people, with Obama representing a younger generation that values "personal responsibility." She also, for good measure, asserted that Obama has been "nailed unfairly" for his cozying up to the evangelicals and promising to give them more federal social service money. In explaining that he comes out of a "community organizing" tradition based in churches in Chicago, she didn't quite say that the coloreds love their churches. But she didn't really have to say it out loud, did she?Answer: You shouldn't! Anyway, read the whole thing.
This is what passes for a left now in this country. It is a left that can insist, apparently, that Obama's FISA vote, going out of his way (after all, he could simply have followed the model of Eisenhower on the Brown decision and said that the Court has ruled; therefore it's the law, and his job as president would be to enforce the law) to align himself--twice, or three times--with the Scalia-Thomas-Roberts-Alito wing of the Supreme Court, his declaring that social problems, unlike foreign policy adventurism, are "too big for government" and pledging to turn over more of HHS and HUD's budgets to the Holy Rollers are both tactically necessary and consistent with his convictions. So, if those are his convictions, or for that matter what he feels he must do opportunistically to get elected, why the fuck should we vote for him?
I suspect that Professor Reed and I have radically different notions of what ideally would spring from the aftermath of an implosion of the current American imperium. Me, I favor a vast guignol of gas-thievery, petty cruelty, dusty leather costumes, and aviator goggles, all enacted on a sprawling desert. And zombies. Several of our regular commenters appear to doubt that my political convictions could possibly extend beyond the reestablisment (sic - as if it ever obtained) of something called the "rule of law." In this conception, the enaction of arbitrary statutes by governing bodies is preferable to extra-statutory arbitrary action by those same bodies. This having worked out so well. In fact I hope in my lifetime to see the United States dissolve into microregions and city-states surrounded by tilled fields. I am thinking of calling this philosophy anarcho-feudalism, or some such. Manor life without the lords and ladies. We'll have just enough electricity for lights and the internet. We'll farm with draft animals. We'll travel by foot and by bicycle, and folks'll have to learn how to bake their own damn bread.
At A Tiny Revolution, Jonathan Schwarz reminds us of some stellar sycophancy:
KOPPEL: You looked sensational [on TV]. Tanned and well rested... How was your vacation?Now it turns out this dinner party actually occured, at the Kissinger's, and I was able to acquire a transcript ("you don't want to know about them, but there are ways, dude") of that dinner party:
KISSINGER: Very pleasant. We missed you. We expect you to show up.
KOPPEL: Normally I don't let you go without me... How is your schedule for the next couple of weeks because we wanted to have you and Nancy over some evening?... In fact, I am not sure we would have anybody else over. Just a quiet evening.
NANCY MAGINNES KISSINGER: Jesus . . .Then Ted and Grace Anne show up for some fun and games, they all take off their human skins and have a reptilian blood orgy, and the sun comes up over the Potomac. Exeunt.
HENRY KISSINGER: . . . Shhhhh . . .
NANCY: . . . H. Christ . . .
HENRY: For God's sake, Nancy, it's two o'clock in the . . .
NANCY: Oh, Henry!
HENRY: Well, I'm sorry, but . . .
NANCY: What a cluck! What a cluck you are.
HENRY: It's late, you know? Late.
NANCY: (Looks around the room. Imitates Bette Davis) What a dump. Hey, what's that from? "What a dump!"
HENRY: How would I know what . . .
NANCY: Aw come on! What's it from? You know . . .
HENRY: . . . Nancy . . .
HENRY: (Wearily) What's what from?
NANCY: I just told you; I just did it. "What a dump!" Hunh? What's that from?
HENRY: I haven't the faintest idea what . . .
NANCY: Dumbbell! It's from some goddamn Bette Davis picture . . . some Warner Brothers epic . . .

An old standard among enemies of the current American administration is the Dirge for the Decline of American Credibility. Credibility is a pretty vacant term. What it really means is that in international opinion polls, America proves less popular than it once was. International polling is notoriously unreliable, especially in the impoverished and so-called developing world, so I take such figures with a rather large grain of coarse Trepani sea salt. Those foreigners reachable by pollsters are relatively more educated and affluent, and more inclined to view Americans favorably, since it wasn't their coca crop that America destroyed, nor their nun that America tossed out of an airplane, or what have you. The decline in American popularity among the international bourgeoisie under the Bush administration mimics the path of disillusionment among American progressives, who only now under the callous, indifferent, and totally indiscrete leadership of the Crawford dauphin and his Subterranean regent have come to realize what poor motherfuckers all over this globe have known all the fuck along: that America is one mean and violent sonofabitch.
The self-deception inherent in this view of the Bush administration as having totally transformed our national character is a subject often noted and sure to be returned-to here, but for the moment the question that more interests me is what, precisely, this pitiable gang, so longing for the halcyon days of Most Popular Transcontinental Empire in School, want from their vaunted, bruited credibility. What end does it serve to be thought highly of in the, ahem, international community? What does one buy with moral capital? What does one borrow with ethical collateral?
This is the nub, the unexamined premise at the base of the extravagant regret. What one buys with credibility is the right to act without restraint. Here is your essential liberal imperialism. The underlying desire is the ability to stage their humanitarian interventions without the moral and practical scrutiny now attending (uh, sort of) our imperial adventuring. They wish to return to the days when one could fête Wesley Clark, and they hope to do something, who the fuck knows precisely what, in Darfur, without having to explain why precisely they're invading, whose side exactly they're on, what they're going to do there, how long they plan to stay. The idea that this credibility is in the Washingtonian vein of lighting the world through good example is pure steaming merde. Credibility is the right to prosecute the policies necessary to the maintenance of post-Bretton-Woods American full-spectrum global dominance without a lot of whiny foreigners callin' you on your shit. It is a sap to the conscience. It reassures you that your nation is on the side of the angels. That it is exceptional. Unique among countries and empires. Selected. Elect. Good. Under such circumstances, our current gang of progressives and anti-war activists [sic] can go back to laughing at the hippie bitches protesting around the School of the Americas, and reassure themselves that our ordnance is the most humanitarian in the world.

Cher M. Derbyshire,
Vous prétendez que personne (ou presque) ne peux apprendre une deuxième langue car vous en a trouver trop difficile. En fait, ce n'est pas nous, c'est vous ; je vous assure. La plupart du monde en a au moins une compétence rudimentaire. Aux Pays-Bas, on est souvent trilingue. En beaucoup des pays de l'Afrique, on parle une langue tribale et une langue « postcoloniale ». Moi, j'ose dire que vous êtes simplement con, mon ami.

Ever entertaining in her outrage, renowned agitatrice and bee-keeper Twisty Faster pens a peroration on the underlying dumbness and horror of phallo-feminism, which is the conviction by certain men of the liberal-arts-educated set that, having once attended a Take Back the Night event as an undergraduate, they stand as valuable allies in the struggle for vaginal equality. Whatevs, dudes. In my younger and more formative years, when I conceived of myself as a radical queer--a self-image that bad sex, good sex, drugs, ennui, war, boredom, the officiating in Superbowl XL, the decline of the dollar, the new translation of Anna Karenina, etc. have conspired to obliterate--it used to piss me off to no end to listen to some straight dude or dudette talk about their status as an Ally, usually because their 40-year-old mom got divorced and became a carpet-muncher, or their older brother was a bukakae bottom, or whatever.
Anyway, I chuckled mordantly when I read Twisty's post because over at The American Prospect, a sort of rendering plant where received opinion is extracted from recent graduates of the US News and World Report Top 25, one Ezra Klein gives the ol' Title IX try to the issue of Women's Representation in Government. How bogus. Women will not find equity by appending themselves to the imperial, patriarchal state. The idea is self-evidently preposterous, like suggesting that women could achieve sexual equality if they raped as many men as men women. It's also egregiously paternalistic. Point:
When it comes to convincing women to run for office, it turns out that among the most powerful things we can do is simply ... ask.The same is true for convincing them to give head, I'm told, but that's hardly a brief for political equity. If only we menfolk would hold the door for the ladies, why, they'd go into the restaurant.
The idea that power derives from proportional representation in elected bodies is one of the more charmingly primitive articles of faith in our late-democratic era, the sort of thing that future generations will look back on with the mixture of horror and bemusement that we currently reserve for the Divine Right of Kings or the deification of dead emperors. It has no more basis in reality. It's just an example of: our system produces the best results because it's our system.
The Basis of a Beautiful Friendship
LAUREEN HOBBS: Don't fuck with my distribution costs! I'm making a lousy two-fifteen per segment and I'm already deficiting twenty-five grand a week with Metro! I'm paying William Morris ten percent off the top, and I'm giving this turkey ten thou per segment, and another five to this fruitcake! And Helen, don't start no shit about a piece again! I'm paying Metro twenty-thousand for all foreign and Canadian distribution, and that's after recoupment! The Communist Party's not gonna see a nickel of this goddamn show until we go into syndication!My feelings about The New Yorker here duly noted, I feel obligated to defend the rag against its current crop of self-interested (self-obsessed?) detractors. As satire, which has admittedly, increasingly become an excuse for mere tastelessness, goes, the Obama cover is pretty thin. No Modest Proposal, that. Yet in decrying it, liberals have embraced precisely the sort of hoary, bowdlerized determinism that leads conservative Kulturkampfers to presume, for instance, that one brief glimpse of a naked titty will lead little Suzy Chastitybelt on the straight road from the Silver Ring Thing to some gonzo-porn harem. Since we here at Who Is IOZ? never shy from sweeping, insupportable generalizations when we have the opportunity to make them, let me just say this about that. It's so plain as to be self-evident that no one inclined to believe that Barack Obama is a secret Muslim terrorist and his wife a badass commie nigger is passing his Tuesday evening engrossed in the rainy-day prose of The New Yorker, and no one inclined to the prose stylings of Ian McEwan or the sensation-numb pomposity of David Denby or the New-Deal harumphery of Rick Hertzberg is going to tip in favor of Terror-Nigger belief because he misconstrues the intent of the cover. The liberal argument contre the cover has nothing to do with causal reality and everything to do with a vaguely defined sense that this image "reinforces" some sort of "meme" floating around in the aethersphere, that it's mere existence pollutes the discourse, whatever that might be. (The hilarious result: an image that would never have found its way beyond the toilet tank tops of a minor slice of the bourgeoisie now finds itself on the cover of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, et al.)
HELEN MIGGS: C'mon Laureen. The party's in for seventy-five hundred a week of the production expenses.
HOBBS: I'm not giving this pseudoinsurrectionary sedentarian a piece of my show! I'm not giving him script approval, and I sure as shit ain't gotten him into my distribution charges!
MARY ANN GIFFORD: [screaming] You fucking fascist! Did you see the film we made of the San Marino jail breakout, demonstrating the rising up of the seminal prisoner class infrastructure?
HOBBS: You can blow the seminal prisoner class infrastructure out your ass! I'm not knockin' down my goddamn distribution charges!
GREAT AHMED KHAN: [fires off his gun through the ceiling] Man, give her the FUCKING overhead clause. Let's get back to page twenty-two, number 5, small 'a'. Subsidiary rights.
The McCain gang, meanwhile, gets to denounce the image with extravagant, hyperbolic, operatic horror-delight, casting a blanket over the equally plain fact that they're the motherfuckers behind the rumor. It's like what Lenin said... you look for the person who will benefit, and, uh, uh . . . In other words, she kidnapped herself, man. And there, if we might speak more realistically about discourse-pollution, is a perfect win-win scenario for their faction, for the get to endlessly remind people that some folks think Barack Obama is a Terror-Nigger by decrying the fact that some people think such unthinkable thoughts. Did we mention that Barack Obama isn't a Terror-Nigger? Well, let us mention it again.

Allons enfants de la patrie
Dress it up however you like, Burke hated the French revolution because it broke some shit. He wasn't conservative, he was a priss. The American revolution was elite, Classical in its aesthetics, respectful of property, protective of Institutions (including that "peculiar" institution, of course). That a board of self-interested aristocrats should like to sever their connection with a corrupt and inefficient empire bothered him not at all. He admired them. In France, par contre, a lot of dirty peasants rose up to wreck the place, showing no deference and chewing with their mouths open. Philosophy had nothing to do with it. It was a matter of taste.
Happy Bastille Day

Katy Perry Denies Dissing Beyonce + Shakira
Katy Perry has responded (and rather quickly, we might add) to the rumors that she dissed fellow pop divas Beyonce and Shakira.
Katy Perry has responded (and rather quickly, we might add) to the rumors that she dissed fellow pop divas Beyonce and Shakira.
Baby weight? What baby weight?
Beyonce is back! After a couple of months of motherhood, the R&B diva is ready to rock the stage again. The 'Love on Top' songbird announced that she will be performing a special residency concert at the grand opening of the new Revel casino resort in Atlantic City, N.J.
In one of Maya Rudolph's acts as the 'SNL' host this weekend, she got all dolled up as the fabulous Beyonce, awaiting the arrival of the celeb guests, like Bon Iver (played by Justin Timberlake), coming to see her new baby. Since Blue Ivy is the miracle child of the music world, it was only fitting for every visitor to bring her a gift. But what do you give the baby who has everything?
After weeks of anticipation, Beyonce and Jay-Z have finally unveiled the first pictures of their daughter Blue Ivy. Instead of trying to make money off of the snapshots of their baby girl, who was born on Jan. 7, 2012, the couple decided to share the photos on Jay-Z's Life and Times website so that all of their fans can get in on the joyous occasion!
Beyonce hit the town for a second night in a row last night (Feb. 7) and wowed once again. The glowing new mom sparkled in a glittery, sequined navy number at Jay-Z's encore performance at Carnegie Hall. She even paid tribute to Blue Ivy with her blue mani, pedi and accessories.
The producers of 'X Factor' are not playing around! Following shakeups with the judges and host, Simon Cowell's pet project has been looking into hiring Mariah Carey as a mentor for some time. However, whispers of Beyonce beating Mimi to the spot are growing louder, and Bey's rumored paycheck is growing bigger. A lot bigger — to the tune of $100 million!
Powerhouse R&B divas Beyonce, Mary J. Blige and Jennifer Hudson received multiple nominations in several music categories for the 43rd annual NAACP Image Awards. The nominees were announced on Thursday (Jan. 19) during a live news conference in Beverly Hills.

The Grill Man restaurant and bar is holding it's Grand Opening on Saturday from noon to 9 p.m. at 1500 Providence Church Road in Anderson. Located off 187 in the Stone Creek Cove Development on the banks of Lake Hartwell, The Grill Man is in the space formerly occupied by Friends at the Cove restaurant.
The Grill Man is owned and operated by Jason and Tricia Parrish and their vision for the restaurant includes being a support to their community. They feature items like the "Helping Hand Burger" offering a portion of all sales of that burger to local charities and causes. Most recently, the restaurant assisted those affected by the Walden Oak Apartment fire.
During the grand opening, they will be asking all who attend to bring a donation of food for either Anderson Interfaith Ministries Food Pantry or for Freedom Fences (a non-profit organization to assist families by building a fence for dogs living on chains). Everyone who brings a donation will receive an entry into raffles for several giveaways including a "Chef's Dinner for Four." This meal will be coordinated with the winner and specially prepared by Chef Jason. There will also be other raffle prizes awarded throughout the day.
Grand Opening festivities will be held in the back lawn on the lake. Events include the band Frankie and Friends from Charlotte. The band will begin playing at 1 p.m. and play throughout the day. Palmetto Moonshine, SC's first legal distillery, will be on site sampling their moonshines and will have their moonshine and goods available for purchase.
The Grill Man will be serving Palmetto Moonshine in their bar as well. Molly and Me Bakery will have some cheeseburger-flavored goodies for your four-legged best friend. The Grill Man will also have outdoor areas with fresh water for your pups anytime diners want to come and grab a bite or a cold one.
The Grill Man is open Fridays for dinner, Saturdays for lunch and dinner and Sundays for brunch. For more information, call 864-222-2022.

Issaquah Christian Church hosts Thanksgiving fundraiser
November 26, 2013
Issaquah Christian Church's 11th annual One Meal, One Hope Challenge fundraiser returns this Thanksgiving with the aim of buying meals for everyone at the Union Gospel Mission.
Since 2003, the challenge has raised more than $61,000, used to purchase more than 34,000 meals for those in need at the mission.
Mayors Month of Concern drive helps local food bank
September 17, 2013
The Mayors Month of Concern Food Drive for the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank continues until Oct. 12.
The food bank finds itself in dire need after the summer months left its shelves bare.
"Usually, the summer months are our lowest time for donations," said Cori Walters, Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank executive director. "It's not common that we run out of mac and cheese."
Community Church finds temporary home
September 10, 2013
The Community Church of Issaquah, the city's longest-established church, has been without a home since February.
After 45 years on Mountain Park Boulevard Southwest, Community Church of Issaquah sold the building to the Living Hope Bible Church.
While exploring locations for a permanent home, the congregation is temporarily worshiping at 1:30 p.m. Sundays at Issaquah Christian Church, 10328 Issaquah-Hobart Road, while maintaining an office at 85 N.W. Alder Place, in downtown Issaquah.
Head to parade, Heritage Day, Down Home Fourth, car show and fireworks today
July 4, 2013
NEW — 6 a.m. July 4, 2013
Join the Issaquah community today in celebrating America's independence and Issaquah's history.
Bouncy houses, live entertainment, face painting, slug races and hay hunts are just a few of the activities planned for the Fourth of July festivities from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Kids and pets can also dress up and decorate their bikes for the annual Kids, Pets 'N' Pride Parade, which will begin at 10 a.m. at Rainier Boulevard North and Northwest Dogwood Street, and end at Veterans Memorial Field.
The Issaquah History Museums will set up stations for old-time laundry, dress-up, butter churning and logging, so kids and adults alike can experience Issaquah's history firsthand. Read more
Issaquah Christian Church members enjoy new facilities
April 2, 2013
After more than 30 years in the same building, Issaquah Christian Church members are enjoying their new facility — on the same property — that is now large enough to hold the growing congregation.
The church, founded in 1970, originally held services at Gibson Hall on Newport Way. In 1980, the church moved to its current location at 10328 Issaquah-Hobart Road and remained in the same building until it completed its new building in October 2011.
"We had looked forward to it for about 10 years, so now we have a sense of accomplishment," senior pastor Brad Bromling said. "It makes things possible that have not been possible in the past."
Churches' pie auction to benefit Compassion House
October 30, 2012
It may be hard to imagine paying more than $400 for a pie, but at the Compassion House Benefit Pie Auction, it's not so far-fetched.
At last year's event, some pies sold for more than $450, with all of the money going toward Compassion House, a local nonprofit organization that provides transitional housing to families in need.
"You know when you have an auctioneer that is capable of selling some pies upwards of $450, that people have an open heart for giving," said Rick McCarty, the executive director of Compassion House.
Celebrate Independence Day in Issaquah with parade
June 26, 2012
Fireworks are banned in Issaquah and surrounding areas, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of ways to celebrate Independence Day.
Churches' men's clothing drive runs through Feb. 26
February 7, 2012
Seattle area streets serve as home to a population of roughly 8,900, according to Jim Rockstad, of Issaquah Christian Church.
Of that total, an estimated 80 percent are men, he said. At the same time, however, about 80 percent of the clothing donated for the homeless is for women and children.
"There is a real need for warm men's clothing," Rockstad said.
For the third year in a row, Rockstad is helping organize a winter men's clothing drive benefiting Seattle's Union Gospel Mission and the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank.

Santa, please help tell true story of Christmas
A funny thing happened when I was asked to play the role of Santa for Northwest Pugs — a meetup group my wife co-organizes for local pug owners.
Cute photos of their dogs with Jolly St. Nick would have to be without me, for you see, I didn't fit into the silly suit.
Who in China designs a costume of a fat man that an actual horizontally challenged person cannot fit into? Luckily, my wife found a more svelte volunteer to fill the position.
However, once my services were no longer needed, I decided to turn the tables and think about what I would ask of Santa, if I were to discover one with a lap ample enough to hold my weight without risk of injury.
My wish of the bearded one would be an emphasis on the return of the true meaning of Christmas to include more of the original bearded one. That would involve getting the ACLU's grubby little paws off the holiday.
Issaquah Christian Church's Christmas tree sale benefits mission to Mexico
November 22, 2011
The annual Christmas tree lot at Issaquah Christian Church will open at noon the day after Thanksgiving.
The lot is on church property at 10328 Issaquah-Hobart Road S.E., a mile and a half south of the city limits.
"Buy a Noble fir for a noble cause" at the lot where proceeds from sales support missions, including Mexico homebuilding. Each year, a team of adults and teens travel to Mexico in June to build homes there at no cost to those in need.
This year, 38 adults and teenagers participated in the building of about 15 homes and a church near Tijuana. A model Mexico home has been constructed on the church property and people are encouraged to tour the model.
The model home measures a scant 11-feet-by-22 feet — a castle to families south of the border who often live in cardboard boxes.

These Robotic Platforms are an excellent way to get mobile with your Arduino or any other type of microcontroller. These versatile platforms are ideal for teaching and learning robots. More info |
CATkits are Arduino shields which connect via CAT5 cable to Kitten boards to extend sensor and actuator connections up to 100m from the Arduino, without loss of performance. With a CATkit & Kitten, sensors can now be reliably installed in locations where mounting the Arduino nearby would not be practical. Using CAT5 cabling installed in conduits and buried underground for example, robust and reliable sensor and actuator networks become possible, even in harsh conditions. More info |
ABRA stocks SpectraSymbol Sensors, a worldwide manufacturer of membrane sensing technology.These sensors are a hit with schools, students and hobbyists because they allow you to perform various interesting experiments. For example, you can use the flex sensors with an arduino to sense a bend. The SoftPot Membrane Potentiometer Sensors can be used as an accurate positional indicator for CNC head positioning, variable user input (volume level input for example), straight user input (multiple button areas translate to given resistance levels), and many other applications. The ARD-SOFTPOT-KIT shows you how to use a linear touch pot with an arduino. The MagnetoPots have the ability to track motion in a contactless manner. When you need to track movement in a volatile environment, HotPot Sensors provide a thin and sealed form-factor with operating temperature tolerances of -40 to +85C. More info |

After the tragedy of September 11, 2001, Stacey decided to take control of her life. She started by having gastric bypass surgery and followed up with a steady exercise routine and a healthier diet. She's since lost more than 300 pounds! Although the surgery and exercise helped immensely, Stacey says that she first needed to make the decision to reclaim her life. "People say, 'How long did it take you to lose 300 pounds?'" she says. "I go, 'My entire life.'" |

Re: O6 - I was talking about his unpaid loans... those don't...
[ Edited ]07-29-2011 09:17 PM - edited 07-29-2011 09:20 PM
cflinkman wrote:maybe you are right O6, but in my case it is with the DOE, subsequently they would chase me for the rest of my life, starting with taking my taxes and garnishing my wages, so yes, maybe it comes off, but it isn't as easy as blowing off an old cell phone bill or something that legit wipes off with the SOL.
A common misconception is that the statute of limitations (SOL) determines when an item must fall off your credit reports. With very few exceptions, the SOL does not determine the credit reporting time period (CRTP) and student loans are not one of those exceptions.
It does not matter who holds the student loan or whether they are obtained directly from the government or a private lender. All student loans have a set time when they must fall off. Just because they do fall off your credit report, though, does not mean the lender cannot continue hounding you for the rest of your life.
20 U.S.C. 1080a(f): Duration of authority
Notwithstanding paragraphs (4) and (5) of subsection (a) of section 605 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681c(a)(4), (a)(5)), a consumer reporting agency may make a report containing information received from the Secretary or a guaranty agency, eligible lender, or subsequent holder regarding the status of a borrower's defaulted account on a loan guaranteed under this part until -
(1) 7 years from the date on which the Secretary or the agency paid a claim to the holder on the guaranty;
(2) 7 years from the date the Secretary, guaranty agency, eligible lender, or subsequent holder first reported the account to the consumer reporting agency; or
(3) in the case of a borrower who reenters repayment after defaulting on a loan and subsequently goes into default on such loan, 7 years from the date the loan entered default such subsequent time.
Now, could student loans report longer than certain other types of debts? Yes. However, they do fall off. Still, there are some debts that for CRTP purposes can be much worse than student loans. Child support arrears, in certain cases, can report for 28+ years. Between a defaulted student loan and child support arrears, I'd take the student loans any time -- hands down.

Stan Kenton biography
Stan Kenton was born on December 15, 1911, in Wichita, Kansas. A gifted pianist as a child and a touring musician as a teenager, Kenton formed his first band in 1941. This ensemble's bombastic style came to be known as the "Wall of Sound." Some of Kenton's players included Art Pepper, Maynard Ferguson and June Christy. The "jazz clinic" style that Kenton used to train students is still used as a framework for jazz education. He died on August 25, 1979, in Los Angeles, California.
