Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Bill Birns presents a weekly essay on history, geography, day-trips, arts and culture in the Catskill Mountain region.
When I first came to this part of the Catskills, Margaretville Memorial Hospital, on Route 28, was still referred to as "the new hospital." Forward-looking men and women of the Upper East Branch Valley had conducted major community fund-raising a few years before, raising astounding thousands of dollars for the effort. The new hospital was a source of community pride: a bricks and mortar example of what a community can accomplish when focused on a tangible goal.
On August 27, 1845 New York State Governor Silas Wright declared Delaware County "to be in a state of insurrection." For the previous three weeks, since county Undersheriff Osman Steele was shot and killed on Dingle Hill in the Town of Andes, anti-rent activists had been harassed, chased, and arrested by a vengeful posse of over 300 citizens, impressed, by the sheriff, into law-and-order service from towns with up-rent majorities, towns like Walton, Franklin, and Delhi, the county seat, which was Osman Steele's hometown.
The 1838 mid-term elections were a real challenge for incumbent President Martin Van Buren and his Democratic Party. His party had been in power for the past 10 years nationally, the past 13 in the president's home state of New York, where Governor William Marcy, after whom the Adirondack's highest mountain would later be named, was running for re-election. But the economy was not in his favor.
I am looking at a map of the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson Valley in 1750. The two- million-acre Hardenbergh Patent contains most of the Catskills, including half of Delaware, Greene, and Ulster counties, and three-quarters of Sullivan. This huge land grant, given to a group of speculators by Queen Anne in 1708, stretches from just southwest of the Village of Catskill to just north of the Village of Monticello, from the West Branch of the Delaware to just beyond today's Ashoken Reservoir.
A couple of years ago, I drove out to Lenox, Massachusetts, in our neighboring Berkshires, to visit The Mount, the magnificent summer mansion and gardens of Edith Wharton. Wharton, who lived from the 1860s to the 1930s, was a major American writer, the author of over a dozen novels, including The House of Mirth, a great book, and The Age of Innocence, an important novel that, 15 years ago, was turned into a big movie by director Martin Scorsese.

Envisioning Zimmers Viking Defense
Well nobody else has written this article, so I guess Ill give it a go
First off, up front, where every play starts, our DLine has certainly gotten a lot younger with the departures of Jared Allen and Kevin Williams. While I will miss their character and senses of humor, it was about the right time to move on to more long term solutions. In addition to younger, it certainly seems as if we have gotten larger and stronger up front. Linval Joseph is a HUGE man and unlike Phat Pat, I am talking more about across his shoulders and around his chest than where the beers tend to add up just above the belt (see OTA photo below.) His consistent averages over the past 3 years of 55 tackles and 3 sacks per year are actually very solid when you consider that he is the first line of defense, and a stop by him likely means less than 2 yards were allowed. Check out his secret superstar article from 2012 (link below)
All game long he overpowered an undermanned Green Bay offensive line to the tune of an astounding seven defensive stops against the running game. Spot starter Dietrich-Smith yielded five of those but Joseph also took T.J. Lang to task in limiting the Green Bay ground game to a mere 2.0 yards per carry between the tackles
When it counted most, like that nationally broadcasted game against Green Bay and particularly in the Giants surprising Super Bowl run, he delivered in bunches. With an overall grade of +7.0 he was our highest-graded defensive tackle for the playoffs. In spite of recording zero sacks, he managed more total pressures than any other defensive tackle and his four stops were the most at his position in the playoffs.
Keeping Griffen happened before Zimmer was hired, and would thus seem to be more of a Spielman signing than a Zimmer guy, but I think he fits the profile of bigger/stronger too. In fact, looking at our Defensive End group, we have 4 guys who are all very similar in size coming in at least 63 tall and 260-273 lbs. They all also seem to share similar game style descriptors such as, high motor, strong at the point of attack, powerful, explosive burst and/or tough. Looks like Robison and Griffen will start, but that we will likely see plenty of Crichton and Wooton as part of our pass rushing rotation. Tom Johnson might get the nod for a spot as a flexible guy who can play some power D-end and get push from DT on passing downs.
What does all that meat add up to? I foresee a return to a top ten unit vs. the running game, with a focus on disrupting opponents offenses right up front, before they can even get started. These bigger/stronger guys will try to control the front line by moving their blockers off of their intended angles and generally creating chaos at the line of scrimmage. This will hopefully enable our LBers to fill the gaps and directly attack whoever has the ball.
This is where our no.1 pick, Anthony Barr fits in so well. His size/speed/reach combination is completely ridiculous and with our muscle men up front moving would be blockers off of their game plan those traits should be put to good use whether he is rushing the QB or covering TEs and RBs. I think mondry over at vikingsmessageboard.com had the right idea when he typed:
If our front 4 is getting good pressure, the RB or a TE might stay in to block . Barr will basically shadow the RB or TE in that case, if he stays in to block, then Barr becomes a pass rusher as his man in coverage already committed to blocking and he's free to rush the passer. If the back or TE releases then he'll follow him into coverage like normal and it's up to our front 4 or even a blitz from somewhere else to create pressure. On the flipside, Barr himself could still be blitzed as long as someone else on the backend can account for his coverage assignment.
Sport Science: Anthony Barr - ESPN Video - ESPN
The combination of asking Greenway to do less and providing more help around him could be great for all involved. He isnt the biggest or fastest, but he does possess good instincts and at this stage of his career is likely a good fit on the weak side where hell likely see less plays coming his way. He also has the experience needed to slide over to MLB on passing downs, and/or help cover what Barr leaves open by blitzing. Brinkley is not an every down backer, but has proven able to consistently stuff the run on early and short distance downs. Of the rest, Cole is the most intriguing to me as another, high-effort player with good instincts. Well likely keep 6 or 7 LBs though as you can never have too many Special Teamers in that size/speed range, and there are several guys with developmental potential like Hodges and Mauti.
On the back end, the return of Harrison Smith and addition of Captain at Nickel-back should help tremendously. I think we will see a lot more man, press coverage, and that style should suit Rhodes and Coxs games very well while Robinson has also shown that he has the top end speed necessary to keep up with anybody on straight down the sideline routes. The idea here may be that they dont have to cover their guy for 10+ seconds per play, as our high motor and relentless guys up front will get eventual if not immediate pressure on the passer. Decent pressure from the front five (DL+Barr) and good bump & run coverage from our CBs should, in theory, open up our Safeties to do their job sealing the back end and coming up to help stuff the run as needed.
Now lets watch some Bengals highlights 2012:
What Im seeing here is a whole lot of pressure (set to awesome attack music!) The line does seem to get pressure more by power and 2nd effort than with speed. There seems to be a boat load of rookie LBer no.55, Vontaze Burfict, attacking the passer, as well as some D-Back blitzes too. For the most part, they all seem to swat at the ball as they come in for the takedown not a swing and a miss, but a punishing swat as part of wrapping up. This chaos along the LOS and attack mentality seems to lead to turnovers, and perhaps the best part!? There are plenty of highlights vs. lots of top offenses like the Pats, Broncos, Chargers and Eagles, showing the ability to match up and win vs. the best.
Last season, Zimmers Bengals Defense was #3 in total yards allowed, no.2 yards/play, no.2 third down conversions allowed, and #5 in the two most important defensive statistics: points allowed and time of possession. More specifically, VS. the Pass they allowed the 5th least yards while snagging the 5th most INTs and notching a 10th best 43 sacks. VS. the Run they also allowed the 5th least yards and 4th least TDs with only 6 rushing TDs allowed all season long!?! Now I know, the Vikings are not the Bengals, and it may take a bit of time to come together, but I think our defensive personnel stacks up pretty favorably with them on all levels but linebacker, where we just might be pleasantly surprised by Barr as the feature, Greenway as more of a sideshow and Brinkley/Cole stuffing any runs up the middle that get through to them.
All in all, I think we will see an aggressive, swarming, gang-tackling team defense that sometimes walks the line between big hits and big penalties. If our added strength and power up front can consistently do what I suspect their number one priority is, moving their blockers off their intended angles, we will be a very frustrating defense to play against. Hopefully that leads to more mistakes made by opposing offenses as our crowd gets loud and specially when the hits hurt more in the cold while playing 5 of our last 8 games outside, at home in TCF Bank Stadium!!

Great write up. I am looking forward to seeing a more aggressive defense this year. Can't wait. The offense should be improved as well. By all counts we should be a much improved team this year.
Hard to not get pumped up for this D after reading that hahaSkol Vikings! Go Cubs!
To hell with the KAO, bring on the KAD!
Nice write up mountain man. Anxious to see how these guys perform under Zimmer and that other guy that holds the DC title.
Envisioning Zimmers' Viking Defense
Best post in a very long time...
I share your enthusiasm re: Barr. I also think Rhodes will make a major step forward and that Smith will be a beast.
Thoughts about Kevin Williams' potential return?
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent
As a matter of fact, I do know
As always, top shelf old friend.
Good to see you are still posting quality stuff.
Couple of thoughts.....
1. I think our defensive line is improved with the loss of K-dubb and JA and the addition of a true 1 tech (Warpig) in Joseph.
One thing I'd love to see if for the staff to slim Rob down 5 - 10 lbs and move him back to RDE and switch Griff over to LDE were he is better suited.
But I think that is a small shift that we won't see happen, and because of the way Zim rotates his DL around (Remember, I'm a closet Bengals Fan) were people start, or even if they start, isn't really important.
Going to be fun to watch the Bigs up front work.
2. Watching the Bengals (and I saw your Tube Stuff) over the last few years, under Zim, his LB'rs don't blitz that much. He mostly gets pressure from his DLmen and drops them into coverage alot more than he does blitz.
Again, top shelf.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

Cork and caged 0.75cl brown bottle, best before May 2010, drank early April 2010.
Brewed for a TV programme apparently.
Hazey, cloudy, amber/light terracotta body. A huge snow white sat on top, soon shrank to a thinner covering, but still a full covering with some heavy lacing on the glasses.
Herbs, hoppy, yeasts, malts, a good mix of smells, getting sweeter as the beer warmed.
Coriander and curaçao are used in the brew (hence the herbs in the smell?). I thought it a bit boring in flavour, dry yet with caramel hints. The body seemed flat, thin and weak, sadly unimpressed. For an unfiltered Belgian Pale Ale it lacked umph.

This beer is brewed for the TV Program 'Tournée Générale' on canvas with Ray Cookes and Jean Blaute doing a beer tour throughout Belgium (and one episode in the US). This TV show is a near-must for every beer lover, and can be found on torrent websites. This beer is only brewed once, and only available in Belgium.
Poured into a Westmalle glass. The beer pours a cloudy amber color with a beautiful fluffy head that slowly disappeared into a nice lacing.
Smell: Malts, spicy herbs (clearly coriander), quite hoppy (floral hops), summer fruits (peach, pineapple) and some alcohol. Sounds very interesting, but most of the aromas are weak.
Taste: Floral hops, a bit grainy and fresh, sweet-bitter overall. Some hints of orange and lemon, sweet sugar and some hidden coriander. The aftertaste is short, and a bit sour-bitter.
Mouthfeel: Nice sparkling medium-carbonation. A bit watery-bodied beer. Mouthfeel is very soft.
Overall: I expected a bit more. Think the beer is not bad, but is maybe still too young. It might need some more months to fully release all the potential flavors. Luckily I bought three bottles which I will store in my cellar for some time. But still nice and very refreshing as it is now

Well, yeah, this game is definitely over now. Brazil are going to the gold medal game of the 2012 Olympics, where they'll face Mexico. It's now 3-0 and you just cannot see South Korea coming back -- Leandro Damiao is their tormentor yet again.
It wasn't a beautiful goal, which is surprising considering that the Selecao had started busting out their tricks with a 2-0 lead. Neymar picked up the ball on the left, wandered through the penalty area, and laid off a pass to Chelsea's Oscar. The midfielder tried a 1-2, but his pass was intercepted and prodded away. Unfortunately for South Korea, it was prodded away straight to the feet of Leandro Damiao, who reacted well to poke a shot past Lee Bum-Young and in. Ouch.
Leandro Damiao, incidentally, becomes the tournament's leading scorer with six goals. Not a bad haul for the Internacional man, who'll be staying in Brazil for at least another season.

Critical issues adding/editing/grouping Members making SS unusable?
5 April 2010 at 10:31pm Last edited: 5 April 2010 10:36pm
Argh! Blergh! That's not a trolling thread title, I really don't know what to do about this or how to get around it (
If I've got this right, and I hope I haven't, I've got an epic problem working with Members. Adding, Editing, Adding to SecurityGroups and avoiding duplicate Email Addresses of Members or overwriting Members along the way.
1) If I am in the Security Admin and attempt to add a Member to a Security Group, if the entered Email Address doesn't already exist for a Member then a new Member is created. This is surely a problem, a full Member form has not been completed so the Member is missing much info, and potentially it was just a typo anyway. Is there any way to disable this creation? And return a message to the user?
2) More critically, if I am in a Security Group and I type in an existing Member's Email Address but mistype or accidentally leave First or Last Name fields blank - this actually updates the Member itself, removing First and Last Name in addition to adding the Member to the Security Group. Do you guys trust your users that much?
Is there any way to select a Member to be added to a Security Group based on the Email Address in the form (ie the Unique Member Field field) without updating the associated Member record with the rest of the submitted info? I just can't let users near this screen while it functions like this. Am I the only one this causes major concerns for?
So instead I use ModelAdmin managing my Members to avoid SecurityAdmin. Which comes with critical problems also:
1) If a Member is added with an email address that an existing Member already has, an ajax 500 error is returned but the user is not notified AND an empty/ghost row is added to the Members table.
2) If I edit a Member record and update the Email Address to be that of an existing other Member, the form is allowed to Save successfully and I now have two Members with the same Email Address / Unique Member Field.
This all seems like such a major oversight / issue with Member management that I really must be missing something and will be happy if that's the case. I hope this post doesn't come across snarky, I don't intend it to be, I'm just at the end of many hours/days/weeks trying to implement a Member management solution that will be useable and reliable for crazy CMS Users. Outside of this, Silverstripe is a dream to work with, I'm a genuine fan.
If I need to extend a whole bunch of stuff to get to the above, I'll happily do so. And if it gets complicated, I'll dive right into the docs/forums/book/api/dev-google-group. It's just that so far they haven't done the trick.
Surely with all the production Silverstripe sites out there I'm not the only person to come across this, nor be the only person who would not be happy handing this Member management functionality to a client. If anyone could be of help, I'd be very appreciative. Further, I'm certainly prepared to pay for good help that helps me turn this around rapidly, feel free to get in touch via email@example.com.

Re: Critical issues adding/editing/grouping Members making SS unusable?
6 April 2010 at 1:21am
One of my core issues is that Email address can sometimes be a poor choice for unique fields among Members. I'd admit that the majority of the time this wouldn't be the case, but when serving a studnet base of families where there may be just one email addy amongst family members but each family member requires a user account... eek.
And given all the issues above with adding/editing/overwriting email addys as it is, the fact that users should also be able to update the field adds an extra level of stuff I don't want to deal with. I know (I think) on the front end there is a Member_Validator field that prevents duplicate email addresses, but with emails often updated I can just see a CMS User going into the admin to update an email addy on behalf of a family and fiddling with a tenuous StudentAdmin more often than otherwise needed.
So. My solution so far is to replace Email Address with Username as the Unique Identifier Field for Members. I figure that I will make this Username field unavailable for editing once the Member is created, so in the ModelAdmin implementation I remove my worries of CMS Users overwriting the Unique Identifier Field but still allow them to update email addresses to their hearts' content.
This still leaves me with the problem though of Adding a new Member via ModelAdmin and duplicating the Username -> I get an empty/ghost row in the Members table and the user does not get an error returned to the screen.
For the SecurityAdmin, I have added Username to the Summary_Fields for Member so it appears in the MemberTableField columns, but I don't think there's any resolution for me here in respect to my concerns above. It's just weird, considering SecurityAdmin is the intended primary manager of Members in Silverstripe, is that right?
Btw, I've got the Email to Username change up and humming in 2.4 really nicely IMO. I used the existing Auth_Username Module as a starting-point/head-start, and rejigged it to work with 2.4. Also I removed any need to make changes to core, to allow for updating. I'm still testing and tweaking but I will eventually submit it to the Modules library. If anyone wants/needs the raw stuff as it is now, shout and I'll post as a zip.

Hi Dizzy
That sounds like a good way to solve it a lot of the issues. When I came across this issue I tried adding some code to the onBeforeWrite() function in my DO, but I couldn't figure out how to prevent a save and return a nice error. If that can be figured out then it shouldn't be much trouble to prevent that ghost row and return a proper error in ModelAdmin......
Your username module also sounds like a great idea, I look forward to seeing it

Hi Dizzy/Aram,
I've just hit the exact same issue with Member in ModelAdmin. I managed to get past various issues to do with creating users by extending the CollectionController. however I'm now blocked at this stage.
From what I've seen so far of the CollectionController, a DO is written twice (once to generate ID, once to save data) - and the error occurs on the second write.
I'm investigating the issue now, so I'll post back any findings. I've subscribed to this thread as well if you have any pearls of wisdom picked up since April to share with me
Re: Critical issues adding/editing/grouping Members making SS unusable?

Right Guys, I've figured this one out.
Basically you need to extend ModelAdmin_RecordController and ModelAdmin_CollectionController:
In your own ModelAdmin_CollectionController class, override doCreate() like so:
function doCreate($data, $form, $request) {
$className = $this->getModelClass();
$model = new $className();
$saveError = false; /// new ///
// We write before saveInto, since this will let us save has-many and many-many relationships
// if dealing with a Member model, then save and blank email first
if ($model instanceOf Member) {
$model->Email = '';
// try the last write, catch a failure...
try {
catch(ValidationException $e) {
if ($model instanceOf Member)
$saveError = true;
if(Director::is_ajax()) {
$class = $this->parentController->getRecordControllerClass($this->getModelClass());
$recordController = new $class($this, $request, $model->ID);
return new SS_HTTPResponse(
_t('ModelAdmin.LOADEDFOREDITING', "Loaded '%s' for editing."),
} else {
Director::redirect(Controller::join_links($this->Link(), $model->ID , 'edit'));
In your own ModelAdmin_RecordController class, override EditForm() to make use of the $saveError boolean now passed to it:
public function EditForm($memberError=false) {
and before the form is returned in same method:
if ($memberError) {
$form->sessionMessage("A user with this email address already exists in the system. Please change the email and save again.", 'bad');
The problem was that the exception thrown by the Member class on encountering the duplicate email was not getting caught. In the overridden ModelAdmin_CollectionController I'm not saving the data first without the email address, so if it errors out there is at least a partial record stored. The second write() is now surrounded by a try...catch, which deals with the error gracefully via the overridden ModelAdmin_RecordController.

African American children with autism fall between the cracks
by Laura Savage
For many in the African American community, especially those who are between poverty and middle class, autism is unfamiliar. We aren't quite sure what kind of delay that means in our children. Does it mean they are dumb? Does it mean they won't talk ever in life? Will they be sitting in the corner for decades, fascinated by the shiny object on the ceiling? Will they have friends of their own? Will they be independent?
Autism is a developmental disorder – that means it affects the brain and its development. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website, developmental disorders are "a group of conditions due to an impairment in physical, learning, language, or behavior areas." Autism Spectrum Disorders range in these areas and affect social, communicative and behavioral development in children.
As research continues, the ability to identify children with ASD has become easier for doctors and educators. With careful tracking of developmental milestones and regular doctor's visits, ASD can be diagnosed as early as 2 years old.
"The consequence of a misdiagnosis and/or late diagnosis may impact on treatment, since early intervention is of the utmost importance for children with ASD," says Dr.Pamela Wolfberg, San Francisco State University professor in the Graduate Autism Certificate program.
Sadly, African American children with ASD are often diagnosed at later ages. The implication of a later diagnosis is less time to devote to early intervention, which can increase children's ability to combat symptoms of ASD. Early intervention includes, but isn't limited to discrete trial, applied behavioral analysis (ABA), hippo-therapy (horse therapy), hydrotherapy (water therapy) and therapies to teach social skills.
All of these, when started before the age of 3, greatly improve the rate of success in children with ASD to be mainstreamed in society. Children who receive therapy after age 3 still can be helped. Getting help at any age is better than NO help at all!
African Americans and ASD
The Black community often doesn't deal with developmental, mental and physical disabilities as other ethnic groups deal with them. For so long, the Black community has felt that God makes no mistakes and children are born a certain way – with disabilities, for instance – for a reason. This mindset has left us vulnerable to an at-risk generation of children who don't receive the help that may change their lives for the better.
Research suggests that African American and other minority groups tend to be diagnosed later than children representing the majority. In some cases, the late diagnosis arises after having been misdiagnosed," says Wolfberg.
Not only will therapy and proper advocacy for our children help them, but it eases tension in the families that care for them as well. A healthy child contributes to a healthy family overall.
"The consequence of a misdiagnosis and/or late diagnosis may impact on treatment, since early intervention is of the utmost importance for children with ASD," says Dr.Pamela Wolfberg, San Francisco State University professor in the Graduate Autism Certificate program.
We in the Black community must deal with multiple barriers that prevent us from accessing resources for ASD. Inadequate health care, educational systems and legal representation and a lack of understanding and willingness to talk about delays our children may have are putting our community at risk for late, misdiagnosed or undiagnosed disorders that may be treatable, if detected.
Dr. Wolfberg added that "the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggest that diagnoses of African Americans and Hispanics increased at a higher rate largely due to better detection in recent years."
There is no cure for ASD, but, with early intervention, children with ASD can grow up to lead typical lives and excel in many areas, if not all of society.
"According to www.autisminblack.com, an online reference for autism in the Black community, our American educational system often stereotypes Black children as being "generally unruly, criminal, and (having) frequent discipline problems," especially boys. This is troubling for two reasons: 1) Boys are diagnosed with ASD at a higher rate than girls. In fact, the CDC states that one out of every 52 boys is diagnosed with ASD compared to a rate of one out of every 252 girls; and 2) Because of the stigma that society attaches to Black males, our educational system gives up on them long before they reach their potential. What ends up happening is our Black parents, who trust in the educational system to prepare their children for higher learning and independence in the world, agree to the recommendations of educators.
The problem then is engrained in society. What we must do as Black parents is reject the limitations society puts on our children.
Not only do parents have rights to disagree with a school district about where their children are placed and whether they are placed in Special Education, they have the right to ask for better educational accommodations in the form of an Individual Educational Plan. An IEP is carefully geared to address the educational needs of students who qualify for Special Education services. All the information parents need is at the California Department of Education (CDE) website.
Don't be turned off by the term Special Education! I know in our community it is a dirty term, but it shouldn't be.
Yes, some children don't need to be in Special Education and they are dumped there because teachers and districts don't want to deal with them. On the other hand, some students will benefit greatly from these services and can be in general education while receiving Special Education services. Gone are the days where every child getting Special Education services was treated the same.
It is worth looking into by parents and guardians because the school districts are responsible for implementing a free and appropriate education for all students. Parents can request their child be assessed for any delays. If a parent has a diagnosis from a doctor when their child enters pre-school, the district is responsible for early intervention services at that time. Occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, behavioral therapy can all be accessed through your school district, but only if parents and guardians take the step of asking if their children qualify.
Don't be turned off by the term Special Education! I know in our community it is a dirty term, but it shouldn't be.
This is true of California but may vary in other states. Outside of California, it is worth researching and asking the school district you live in.
Even if you are told that your child doesn't qualify, you can disagree and further pursue it through the CDE. There are free resources for low and no-income families nationwide, including free legal representation. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can contact your local Regional Center office for information at www.regionalcenter.org. There are 21 offices statewide.
We owe it to our children
As a mother with a son diagnosed with a severe form of ASD, I can't begin to express the difference in my child's life that these services made. I too battled with extended family members and older generations that had the mind-frame that "God makes no mistakes" and "there's nothing wrong with him; he's just a little slow."
I listened, but went with my mother's intuition instead. My son, now almost 12, has been receiving therapy since he was 2 years old. He went through occupational, behavioral and speech therapy and discrete trial! He would not have made the progress that he has had I not pursued these services.
I had to sue my district and it was worth every minute away from work that I took off. When I heard my son say "Mommy" at age 7, any doubt that might have been in the back of my mind disappeared.
Now he is talking regularly, albeit with a delay, and making all the steps needed to become independent. He was worth the fights with the school districts! He is worth any fight for his educational and societal independence. My son is worth it and so is every Black child in this nation, regardless of what society tells you.
We owe it to our children, who are the future of our nation and race, to do whatever we can to navigate the system for their betterment! The earlier you start, the better off they are and the better our families, communities and race will be.
My son is worth it and so is every Black child in this nation, regardless of what society tells you.

Thank You for this amazing story. My son Dominick is 5 years old and we have been blessed with early intervention, support from our team, and articles like this from Ms. Regina at Regional Center keeping us informed about our rights.
Peace and Blessings
AnDrea from Oakland Ca.↓
AnDrea- I'm glad you enjoyed the story. At 5-years-old, Dominick has plenty of time to make educational and social strides. You clearly are taking the right steps to advocate for your son. I wish you more success in the future. Check back if you need more info/have questions when dealing with districts.
Wishing you the best!

Autism has a strong genetic basis, although the genetics of autism are complex and it is unclear whether ASD is explained more by rare mutations, or by rare combinations of common genetic variants.-"^^

BlackBerry announced its biggest, most powerful phone yet on Wednesday, but despite that impressive-sounding blurb, the BlackBerry Z30 reeks of "too little, too late" and may just be the last handset ever released by the iconic company.
The BlackBerry Z30 rocks a 5-inch, 1,280-by-720 Super AMOLED display, a dual-core, 1.7GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, and 2GB of RAM -- all of which bears a striking similarity to its well-received predecessor, the 4.2-inch BlackBerry Z10. But this is no stagnant screen size boost: The BlackBerry Z30 features the new 10.2 update for the BB 10 OS, and it packs in a 2,880mAh battery that BlackBerry claims can last a whopping 25 hours between charges. BlackBerry's press release has the nitty-gritty details about NFC, LTE, etc. if you're interested.
[ Also on InfoWorld: The new BlackBerry Z30 may be the last BlackBerry. | The InfoWorld reviews: BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10. | Mobile security: iOS vs. Android vs. Windows Phone vs. BlackBerry. | For quick, smart takes on the news you'll be talking about, check out InfoWorld TechBrief -- subscribe today. ]
You probably shouldn't be. If you're a CrackBerryHead with big hands, you might appreciate the Z30, but it's hard to see this phoning appealing to, well, pretty much anybody else.
Trials and tribulations
The Z30 may be the beefiest BlackBerry yet, but it's still behind the cutting-edge competition. The internals place the Z30 on par with phones like the (year old, and now discontinued) Nexus 4 and the Moto X -- a phone that was blatantly built to not compete on the specification front.

Anybody else finding Chuck Palahniuk worthwhile? I like Lullaby with all the invasive species information, though I'd be more interested in reading a more interesting Starhawk kind of portrayal of Wiccan Women.
I like this quote from an alternet interview with Palahniuk.
"We're just running out the clock now, and until we actually make that jump to a cause, we're just paying the bills and jacking off and eating three square meals a day. Unless we chart our lives to something, we're just animals in the zoo."
I bet the messsage is something similar to what you can find in Bertrand Russel's Conquest of Happiness.
" Gradually I learned to be indifferent to myself and my deficiencies; I came to centre my attention increasingly upon external objects: the state of the world, various branches of knowledge, individuals for whom I felt affection. External interests, it is true, bring each its own possibility of pain: the world may be plunged in war, knowledge in some direction may be hard to achieve, friends may die. But pains of these kinds do not destroy the essential quality of life, as do those that spring from disgust with self. And every external interest inspires some activity which, so long as the interest remains alive, is a complete preventive of ennui. Interest in oneself, on the contrary, leads to no activity of a progressive kind. It may lead to the keeping of a diary, to getting psycho-analysed, or perhaps to becoming a monk. But the monk will not be happy until the routine of the monastery has made him forget his own soul. The happiness which he attributes to religion he could have obtained from becoming a crossing-sweeper, provided he were compelled to remain one. External discipline is the only road to happiness for those unfortunates whose self-absorption is too profound to be cured in any other way."

Preview | Recap | Results (Jim West Intercollegiate - 36 Holes) | Results (Jim West Intercollegiate - Final RD)
FGCU Looks to Continue Strong Play at Jim West Intercollegiate
McKINNEY, Texas – Coming off a second place finish at the FAU Spring Break Championship, the FGCU men's golf team will get its final tune up before the Atlantic Sun Championships starting on Monday at the Jim West Intercollegiate hosted by Texas State at TPC Craig Ranch.
The Eagles turned in their best performance of the spring season and equaled their season-low with a 54-hole score of 873 last weekend at FAU. FGCU will use the same five-man lineup for the second tournament in a row with juniors Mathias Boesmans (Belgium/Western Texas College) and Matt Cote (Palm Harbor, Fla./Palm Harbor University HS), sophomore Jack Hernandez (Fort Myers, Fla./Bishop Verot HS) and freshmen Edward Figueroa (Naples, Fla./St. John Neumann) and Jake Sherwin (Fort Myers, Fla./Evangelical Christian HS).
The 11-team field at the Jim West Intercollegiate will take on the par 72, 7,417-yard course starting at 10 a.m. ET on Monday. Live scoring can be found on www.GOLFSTAT.com or www.FGCUATHLETICS.com.
The only Eagle to play in all nine events this year, Sherwin was FGCU's low-man all three rounds at FAU to finish in third place in the field of 96 and A-Sun Player of the Week honors. Sherwin was the only player in the field to finish even-par or lower all three rounds en route to a season-low 211 (71(E)-69(-2)-71(E)). Sherwin has produced a 74.9 stroke average in the spring with a pair of top 5s.
Cote joined Sherwin in the top 10 last weekend with a seventh place finish at FAU, good for his third top 10 of the year. The 2011 A-Sun Freshman of the Year is second on the team with a 75.0 stroke average, producing three even-par rounds in his last two tournaments. Cote is also second on the team with 56 birdies and has turned in four straight rounds of 72 or lower.
Figueroa missed two tournaments due to playing in the PGA Tour's Puerto Rico Open, but returned last weekend to increase his consecutive counting scores streak to 21 rounds to start his collegiate career. Currently No. 184 in the Golfstat Cup rankings, Figueroa sports a team-low 73.0 stroke average that is boosted by six under-par rounds. The Naples product has finished in the top 15 in four of seven events.
Hernandez is coming off his best back-to-back rounds of the spring with scores of 74 and 72 to close out the FAU Spring Break Championship, while Boesmans had his streak of 22 straight rounds with a counting score snapped last weekend. Hernandez and Boesmans sport stroke averages of 77.8 and 76.7, respectively.
FGCU PARTICIPANTS (Stroke Average)
Jake Sherwin, Fr. (76.2)
Matt Cote, Jr. (75.0)

CINCINNATI – Hold those Doug McDermott for national player of the year ballots. Advise the voters for the Wooden Award that the defining moments of this college basketball season are just starting to be played.
Tell them to take another look at the last 76 seconds that Russ Smith played for the University of Louisville at Cincinnati Saturday. My guess is you've already seen the dagger moment – the mid-range jump shot that Smith made with Titus Rubles flying into his face.
Smith was parked 12 to 15 feet from the basket. There were 2.2 seconds to play. Louisville trailed, 57-56, after coughing up every bit of a 10-point lead in the final nine minutes. Smith had missed seven of his first nine shots.
He did not miss the one that mattered. Moments like this are why Russ Smith came back for his senior season.
"It looked good all the way to me," said Terry Rozier, the U of L guard who passed the ball to Smith.
"Just do everything we can to win games," Smith said. "That's all that matters to me. I'm not here to impress anybody or get 30 balls and stuff. I'm just out here to win.
"Honestly it felt really good leaving my hands. I don't know if it looked good to you guys, but it honestly felt really good. It either would have been an air ball or it would have gone straight through the net."
This was no air ball. Louisville won, 58-57, pulling within a half-game of the Bearcats in the race to win the American Athletic Conference title. The Cards are now 23-4, 12-2 in the league.
Look for the Cardinals in the Top 10 next week. They've now beaten a Top 10 team on the road. They've won 10 of 11. They're positioning themselves for an advantageous seed in the NCAA Tournament.
But for Smith this was about more than simply fearlessly making a defining jump shot, the ball going in instead of bouncing away.
What Smith did over the final 76 seconds is play like the guy who has learned the lessons that he needed to learn from Rick Pitino when Smith decided to return for his senior season. Remember: Smith didn't have to be here. He could have gone out on top with a national title.
The lesson about not forcing shots. The lesson about making the basic, but effective pass. The lesson about playing with absolute poise when every possession becomes the most valuable possession of the game. The leadership lesson.
Smith showed that he doesn't have to score 21 points to help Louisville win an essential basketball game. He can do that when he only scores 10.
Smith's final jump shot doesn't matter without the two assists that Smith made on the two possessions that preceded the game winner.
Twice Smith waved Montrezl Harrell out to the key. He wanted a screen. Harrell provided the screen. Smith drove off the screen. Cincinnati tried to confuse Smith by blitzing him with a defender. Maybe the 2013 Russ Smith forces a jump shot. The 2012 Russ Smith definitely forces a jump shot.
"In that situation he might not have even had the ball last year," Montrezl Harrell said. "For him to come down and make the plays he did make. You'll get some crazy stuff out of Russ but toward the end he knew what to do with the ball."
Smith was not confused. He was determined to make the right plays. Smith did make the right plays. Smith confused the defense by slipping the basketball to Harrell on both plays.
Pick And Roll 101. The first basket cut Cincinnati's lead to 55-54. The second put Louisville ahead, 56-55.
"I wanted the ball in the last two minutes," Smith said. "I wanted to make some really good decisions down the stretch. I took that challenge.
"There comes a time in your life when you have to do something different in order to win. I played an all-around game. I tried to do everything in all facets of the game. I knew scoring wise I wasn't going to beat Cincinnati. It was going to have to be a team effort. I was going to have to find people.
"I think tonight I really matured as a player. I feel really good about the decisions I made down the stretch."
Yes, Smith made a silly reach toward Cincinnati guard Troy Caupain with 11.8 to play. There was a whistle. Caupain made two free throws. Cincinnati led, 57-56. The Bearcats were 11.8 from wiping all the suspense out of the AAC race.
But Smith erased that mistake with his game-winner.
It was the best closing stretch that Smith has played in his four-year career. He made the passes. He made the shot. Russ Smith said it was the first game-winning shot that he has made since high school.
Smith played 30 formidable minutes, leading the Cards with five assists but only one turnover. Smith is setting the example that Pitino wants. The Cardinals have not been reckless with the basketball. They only turned the ball over nine times. Mark it down as the sixth consecutive game with fewer than 10 turnovers for Louisville.
"I was an all-American last year, won a national championship and got all the accolades I needed," Smith said. "If they don't want to keep me on (the player of the year lists), they can take me off."
That would be some mistake. Smith is making the basic plays. He is making the unforgettable plays. Russ Smith is showing the world why he came back to the University of Louisville to play his senior season.

Gov. Chris Gregoire announced on Monday that she will appoint Patrick Monasmith to the Superior Court serving Stevens, Pend Oreille and Ferry counties. Monasmith is a former court commissioner for Stevens County, and has extensive experience in private practice.
He will fill the judgeship being vacated by the retirement of Rebecca Baker.
"Patrick's broad legal background is exactly what is necessary to effectively serve as Superior Court judge," Gregoire said. "I welcome Patrick to this position, and know those he works with will appreciate and respect his passion to serve the community."
"I am deeply honored by this appointment, and humbled by the confidence placed in me by Gov. Gregoire and my peers," said Monasmith. "It will be my great privilege to serve the citizens of the Tri-Counties as their next Superior Court judge."
Monasmith graduated from Colville High School. He later earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Idaho before graduating from the University of Idaho College of Law.
He began his legal career in 1984, when he became a staff attorney with the Spokane County Public Defender Office. Two years later he joined the practice of Goicoechea Law Office before joining O'Neal & Delaney, P.S. as an associate. In 1989, Monasmith formed the firm of Skok & Monasmith, P.S. in Chewelah, where he has practiced law for more than 20 years.
"Patrick Monasmith's proven temperament, his breadth of experience and his energy make him an ideal fit for the demands of our tri-county judicial district," Baker said.
"Mr. Monasmith will show strong leadership," said fellow Superior Court Judge Allen Nielson. "I look forward to working with him."

BOSTON, DEC. 11, 2012….. The co-defendant in the trial of former Treasurer Tim Cahill was acquitted Tuesday of both conspiracy counts levied against him by Attorney General Martha Coakley.
A 12-person jury returned the verdict around 12:20 p.m., about a week after they began deliberations. Jurors resumed deliberations regarding the charges against Cahill.
Scott Campbell, 41, was found not guilty of the charges that he conspired to obtain an unwarranted privilege and conspired to commit procurement fraud.
A longtime Cahill aide who rose to chief of staff of the state Treasury, Campbell joined the former Democrat's independent gubernatorial campaign in the spring of 2010 and became campaign manager after a series of campaign defections in late September 2010.
Following the verdict, Campbell hugged supporters, including Cahill, and then made his way out of court. He declined to comment except to say he was "very happy."
Cahill, 54, and Campbell were accused of directing the Massachusetts State Lottery to run self-promotional ads in 2010 at the behest of his gubernatorial campaign.
Each charge carries a sentence of up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Throughout the trial, Cahill and Campbell maintained their innocence, claiming the Lottery ads were a necessary response to Republican Governors Association ads that derided Cahill's management of the state agency, saying it over-spent on cars and lobby renovations.
Cahill took the stand in his own defense in the final days of the trial, where assistant attorney general James O'Brien, chief of the public integrity division, confronted the defendant with evidence of emails between the CEO of the Lottery's ad agency and the campaign. Campbell's attorney Charles Rankin, described his client during the trial as a "flunky" and a mere "messenger" for the campaign.

Born Vincent Shrotenbach in Vienna in 1890, he initially received training on violin, then switched when he heard its majestic sound. Although Vincent also displayed a strong aptitude for science and graduated with an engineering degree, he gave up a promising career to pursue his first love and an uncertain future as a musician. Performing under the stage name, Vincent Bach, he established a musical success as he toured throughout Europe.
World War 1 forced Vincent's move to New York City where he arrived with only $5.00 in his pocket. A letter to the famous conductor Karl Muck got Vincent an audition and a resulting position with the Boston Symphony. By the following season, he was first trumpet in the Metropolitan Opera House. While on tour in Pittsburgh, Vincent's mouthpiece was ruined by a repairman. Vincent had great difficulty in finding a suitable replacement. While on furloughs he spent time in the basement of the Selmer Music store remodeling old mouthpieces.
In 1918, with the investment of $300 for a foot-operated lathe, Vincent went into the business of making mouthpieces. The business grew rapidly and in 1925, the first Bach trumpets were produced. Musicians frequently referred to a Bach trumpet as a real 'Stradivarius', thus inspiring the name Bach Stradivarius. Bach trombones followed in 1928.
At the age of 71, Vincent sold his company. Although he received twelve other offers, including some that were higher, Vincent chose to sell to the Selmer Company. In 1964, the tooling and machinery for Bach instruments were moved from Mount Vernon to their current home in Elkhart, Indiana. Today, these instruments continue to embody the highest standards of craftsmanship and are held to Vincent's original designs and blueprints.

I'm using the S60 emulator
I went to utilities and then route to trace a 'fictitious route' on a map.In theory I should be able to plug in the coordinates in the left top and right bottom of the screen and all the coordinates within the square would match those coordinates. However, after I click on load scale, and started the points on the route, the coordinates that were fed back were completely off scale. My coordinates were 14.20928402 and 50.992839273 and I got feedback from points like 70, 115, -4 etc.
What am I doing wrong? How do I get the correct coordinates along the route.

Weather forecasters: 2013 will get off to a frigid start
There was plenty of snow falling across New Hampshire in the final days of 2012, but as 2013 opens it will be the temperature that drops instead of flakes.
Much of the state is snow covered as the year comes to a close, and the New Year will bring with it the coldest temperatures thus far this season.
"We are looking at very frigid conditions mid-week," said Tom Hawley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine. "It could go below zero in Concord Tuesday night and into the pre-dawn hours Wednesday, then struggle to get out of the teens. It will be a jolt to the system."
Hawley said that to date, Concord has received 14.4 inches of snowfall. Compare that to the 13.8 inches the city received over a three-month span, from December through February, last winter, and it looks like the total accumulation figures are headed much higher in the winter of 2013.
"It's looking like we'll have much more snow this winter, at least right now," said Hawley. "The temperatures, the storm pattern, they are all pointing to higher snow totals than last year."
While the snowfall figures for official winter last year were low, technically Concord is currently 2.2 inches behind where it typically is on December 31 - and 26.3 inches behind where it was for the overall snowfall season at this time a year ago, thanks to the October Surprise storm that dumped more than 22 inches in the region.
While the probability of more snowfall in the state is low over the next 10 days (with partly to mostly sunny skies and a 10 percent chance of snow on just one day, Tuesday), residents should be prepared to bundle up.
The Manchester area is forecast to see the mercury struggle to top 22 degrees Fahrenheit both Wednesday and Thursday, with a low of 3 degrees.
"There will be a brief warm-up into the 30s on Friday, but then things look to turn colder again next weekend," said Hawley.
Those readings are well below what Granite Stater residents experienced last winter. With an average temperature of 31.3 degrees, the winter of 2011-2012 was the third warmest winter (December through February) since 1896 in the Northeast, according to the National Weather Service.
The state's ski areas have welcomed the snow and colder temperatures.
"It's nice to see snow and not more rain," said Alice Pearce, president of Ski New Hampshire, the state's industry trade association. "The ski areas are off to a much better start this year in terms of colder temperatures and snow-making operations, so the amount of terrain open this year is ahead of where many were last year."
As commuters head back to work this week after holiday vacations and two snowstorms, New Hampshire State Police are reminding drivers and truckers of the dangers of not removing snow and ice from the tops of vehicles, especially oversized trucks.
Snow and ice falling from a moving truck creates hazardous driving conditions for other vehicles around them, and can result in fines and/or civil liability penalties for failing to make reasonable efforts to remove the snow or ice accumulations.
Under state law, drivers can be cited for driving a vehicle in a manner that "endangers" or "is likely to endanger any person or property."

Remember when Dan Orlovsky took that snap against Minnesota two years ago and then just wandered out of the end zone? [It's after the jump if you don't] Orlovsky does, and he was amazing enough to commemorate his famously boneheaded play with this unique Mickelson-esque signature of "I'm just an idiot." That's amazingly big of a guy who may never find himself in an NFL game. I wonder if the Texans used the same verbiage when they signed Orlovsky to a $9 million contract last March. One can at least presume that they did so implicitly. @ShaneBacon, via Detroit4Lyfe.

Primus are my personal favorite band, and as well as being one of the most talented, innovative, and downright insane bands over the past decade, they also made (in my own opinion) the greatest album in the history of rock. It has Les Claypool's great bass and nasal vocals, as well as insane drumming and even better guitar, adding to the quirkiness of it all. Although many consider Primus a metal band, a funk band, or a progressive band, I feel that they are truly in a league of their own, with no one else even coming close to their sheer musicianship. "Sailing The Seas…" has samples, the best bass ever, funny vocals and disturbing lyrics, as well as guitar shredding and up and down nonstop drumming. It is everything you should want in an album. If you are a teen struggling to fit in (I'm not…just cause'…yeah) don't listen to this. If you are looking for something unique, different, and better than everything you've ever bought, yeah, this is for you. Suggested tracks: Jerry Was A Race Car Driver, Those Damned Blue Collar Tweakers, Is It Luck? Suggested Bands: Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, El Stew. Suggested albums: Buckethead's Monsters And Robots, Primus' Pork Soda, mr. Bungle's California.
Primus Biography - Primus Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Opening with the creaky sounds of a ship at sea, Sailing charts the funk-punk waters the San Francisco Bay area band returns to again and again. It's all here: the acerbic humor, Les Claypool's gurgling fretless bass lines, Larry LaLonde's seasick metal guitar, and Tim Alexander's Bill Bruford-inspired syncopation. The narrator of "Sgt. Baker" aims to "rape your personality," while the reapers of the "American Life" live out their dreams "residing in a cardboard box." Tom Waits makes a cameo on the funky back-alley tale "Tommy the Cat," and the protagonist of "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" has "too many cold beers one night" and "wraps himself around a telephone pole." Primus concert fave "Those Damned Blue Collar Tweakers" helps round out this bizarre prog-punk masterpiece. –James Rotondi

Here's a story… I was over at my friend's house and he asks me if I have ever heard of the band Primus. I said yes because I heard Jerry was a Race Car Driver on the radio. He put on a DVD called Animals should not try to act like People or something like that and played all these WEIRD primus vids!! The band instantly started to grow on me and i bought their latest CD "Antipop". While it does have one of the best primus songs ever(In my opinion), Lacquer Head.. the rest of the tracks sound nothing like the Primus i heard on the DVD. So i got Sailing the Seas of Cheese and it is AWESOME!!! Garunteed you will love it. Here is a list of tracks and the score i give them.1. Seas of Cheese – 7.5/10 A nice little intro featuring some interesting vocals.2. Here come the b@stards – 8/10 I've seen multiple reviews bash this song for being repetitive. I love it for some reason and it is one of my favorites on the CD.3. Sgt. Baker – 9.5/10 Definitely one of the best on the CD. This song has an interesting chorus about what drill sergeants do to their troops, i will read it for you to get you excited to hear it: I will rape your personality Pummel you with my philosophy Strip you of your self integrity To make you all just a bit like me!!Truly an amazing song.4. American Life – 10/10 Again.. another amazing song, Primus tends to bunch the highlights of the cd together. The song definitely has a MUCH more depressing note to it then the first 3 tracks. It tells the stories of 3 immigrants and the woes that met them when they came to America.5. Jerry was a Racecar Driver – 8/10 A lot of people consider this the best song on the CD. While it is a fantastic song, i disagree.6. Eleven – 6/10 Unlike Here come the bastards, this song IS in fact, very repetitive.7. Is it Luck? – 9/10 An awesome song featuring an awesome bassline8. Grandad's Little Ditty – a boring little interlude track that i wont even bother to rate9. Tommy the Cat – 10.5/10 In my opinion this is THE best track on the CD. It has it all, a kickass bassline AND kickass guitar solos!! Not to mention fantastic lyrics that tell the story of an alley cat named Tommy.10. Sathington Waltz – 7/10 It's alright11. Those damned blue collared Tweekers – 9/10 This is another great song on the cd. Great playing from Les and Lers.12. Fish On – 9.5/10 Yet ANOTHER great song!!(starting to notice the vast number of great songs on this cd??) A slower song with funny lyrics about fishing and whatnot.13. Los Bastardos – An outro track that sounds very similar Here come the bastards except it has some guy yelling. I wont rate it.
This CD is one of Primus's best. The album is packed from beginning to end with quirky but excellent music. The opening, Seas of Cheese, is a nice introduction, it leads you into the rest of the album. The next two tracks, "Here Come the Bastards" and "Sgt. Baker," put a real pow into the CD- both great songs that I could listen to over and over. After that comes "American Life," which adds another dimension to the album; it strays from the mood of the previous tracks, and, of course, is another outstanding song. Next comes one of the most recognizable and popular Primus songs, "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver." It's a perfect blend of music- starts out with a relatively soft bass, then builds up until they go into full-rocking out mode with heavy guitar. "Eleven," "Is It Luck?" and "Grandad's Little Diddy" are wonderful Primus songs, but I'm skipping them to save space. "Tommy the Cat" features, who else, but Tom Waits. This song takes a few listens, as do most Primus songs, but once you get into it, it becomes one of the highlights of the album. "Sathington Waltz" is like the song "Wounded Knee" from the album Pork Soda. Just seems to be randomly thrown in there just for fun. It's not bad, but I tend to skip it. Ah, "Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers." One of the favorites of Primus fans. It's one of the best tracks on the album, featuring a guitar solo and bass guitar solo. This one never seems to get old, you can listen to it over and over. "Fish On" is another classic on the album. And finally, "Los Bastardos" is basically just a continuation of "Here Come the Bastards" with a few extras.With Les Claypool's quirky bass licks and nasal voice, Larry Lalonde's complex and flawless guitar riffs, and Tim Alexander's thundering and almost effortless drumming, you make up an album that never gets boring. This CD is much more than its money's worth- you'll get hours and hours of enjoyment from it. This is in no way a let down. Reccommended highly.
This is one of my favorite albums.
Not because it's weird, not because the bass-playing is good, and not because it has clay models swimming in a bowl of cheese dip on the cover… though that last one does contribute…
Nay, it is simply because the album makes me smile. Who can hold back a grin when the lyrics to Jerry Was a Race Car Driver are sung in flawless redneck dialect? And the journey you are taken on into the life of a macho cat (Tommy the Cat) is epic and unforgettable. You may even feel inspired to hike up to a lake of our own Northwest and fish when you hear Fish On.
If you are suffering the symptoms of clinical depression, please call and order Sailing the Seas of Cheese today. Seriously.
Primus's albums have always had the feel of an adolescent's guilty pleasure in a way. Sure you can take it seriously – the musicianship is outstanding and their melodies masterfully twist among pop, funk and grunge. But that's only part of their style; there's a silly side that's part musical humor, part Saturday morning cartoon, and a sense that there could be more quirks around any corner. I imagine that if Phish had a heavy King Crimson influence they'd sound a little like this. There's incredible bass work, subtle nuances in the guitar playing that you don't notice right away, and lyrics that suggest a strange mix of Roger Waters and Frank Zappa.If the title and cover of this album alone don't seem cartoonish enough, take a listen to the lumbering bassoon introducing the first track. Les Claypool talks and screams through "Is It Luck?" like a hopped-up WB cartoon. "Tommy the Cat" is crazy funk with Tom Waits, of all people, lending a distorted voice to the narrative. As with any Primus album there are times when they go a little too far off the edge ("Granddad's Little Ditty" comes to mind), although I probably shouldn't complain when it's compared to such later offerings as "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver." Regardless: for most Primus fans this album still stands as their strongest. For those merely curious it's the ideal one to start with. If you don't like Seas of Cheese, chances are you won't like the others.

My son wants us to get the Chevy Avalanche! He calls it our "Graduation Truck" for when we graduate. He also calls any Ford Mustang his "Birthday Car"-- he's just about to turn 5, so it's always fun to hear him talk about what we should buy for a car or what we should buy him for his car-- lol.
I don't mind his opinions on the 2 cars that he likes- I'd take an Avalanche if I could!
I, too, am looking more and more into 5-3-1 after returning from Florida. I still plan on PMing you about how you're going to implement that routine, but I've been out of town, so I'll be messaging you soon.

Your attitude and approach to gaining weight is solid - I like the fact that you'e not afraid to lose some of those abs but also you're not blowing loose and eating everything in site. The perfect way to go about it if you ask me.
How are you finding the increased calories so far? You feeling stronger and higher energy? Is it giving you extra cravings?
Keep up the hard work, your level consistency is to be admired for sure.

what i figured going into what i have been doing is that eventually i will reach a point where depletion from lifting/cardio will be overtaken by increased cals.. at which point my metabolism will be screaming.. i can back down my carb intake, up dietary fat to like 25%ish and cruise at those calorie levels. im really surprised that im still upping and nothing is happening. and youre right, i look exactly like i did last thursday.. no fat gain that i can notice on camera or in the mirror. im starting to get impatient.. want to start doing 300 cal bumps instead of these 150/wk bumps. more specifically... i want to EAT. its also getting increasingly difficult to keep protein around 220 and carbs all the way at 400 unless i start diverging into stuff like cereal and more fig newtons which is more simple sugars rather than complex carbs. im already down to 30g whey per day... which i need for my pre w/o shake. the rest of my diet is whole food

How's that breakfast tasting? You up yet?
haha its not bad. my shoulder is so iffy.... im not sure what to make of it
im def filling back out.
175.6 this morning which is a high since june 7th. ive been sloppy with the cals beause im getting impatient and my workouts probably burn only a small fraction of the calories they did on a nondeload week.. completely clean but i was probably about 3100 last night.. 2950 the night before. i need to stick to 2900 going forward for the remainder of the week. alternatively i may just give up and get fat again hah.
Do you sleep on one side with your arm outstretched? I was doing that for a while and found that my shoulder hated that. I think you'd see some success with some myofascial stretching tho. I'm kinda on a kick with it as I just started taking it seriously and it has paid off within two days I feel.
Does it only hurt with horizontal pressing? I think God made horizontal pressing for the sole reason of inflating egos and injuring shoulders.
Stay patient and disciplined with the diet (as you know you can) and you're gonna rock some serious LBM and strength over the next few months!
