Daz - 4 Tha Hood
Artist: Daz
Producer: Jamil
Album: Witit Witit
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 8 total votes )
Whoever "they" is always says "home is where the heart is" and on his latest single, 4 Tha Hood, Daz Dillinger lets listeners know that his heart is in the hood. While most hood anthems have a raw, grimy feel, 4 Tha Hood bucks the trend. Producer Jamil crafts an up-tempo, squeaky clean beat that is perfect for cruising around just about any neighborhood. As the beat claps, the veteran Dillinger gets all nostalgic, giving nearly everyone, from the OG's to all the haters in the vacant, a shout out. Rounding out the song's appropriately nice vibe are the hook's tweaked vocals, which give this record a vintage, trademark West Coast sound. If you want more crisp tracks where 4 Tha Hood came from then be sure to cop Dillinger's album Witit Witit, set for a December release.

The HIV/STD program strives to be as exhaustive, flexible, and comprehensive as possible in its efforts to intervene in the spread of sexually transmitted infection.
B'more for Healthy Babies is an innovative initiative to reduce infant mortality in Baltimore City.
Baltimarket is a suite of community-based food access and food justice programs that includes the Virtual Supermarket Program, the Healthy Stores Program, and the Neighborhood Food Advocates Initiative.
Safe Streets is a community mobilization and outreach program designed to combat shootings and homicides. This intervention targets high-risk youth aged 14 to 25.
The Baltimore City Health Department, in partnership with Maxim Health Services, will offer flu shots to seniors age 65 and older, on 6 days in September.
When eight high school students are commissioned to make a graphic novel about sexual health, don't be surprised if the result includes pet dragons, a troll with genital warts and a guy named Funk Master Flexin'. These comedic touches appear in a booklet created during a six-week summer program for students at the Baltimore City Health Department that aims to raise awareness about sexual health.
BALTIMORE - It's a disease that claimed millions of lives all over the world and here at home in Baltimore we've seen our fair share of cases, ranking our city as one of the top in the country for HIV cases. With about 13,000 people diagnosed with the virus in the city Health Department officials are getting creative with a program that could turn those numbers around. It's called Protect Baltimore.

Scannable codes appearing at 500 Foot Lockers.
Late last summer, K-Swiss debuted "Kenny Powers" as its new fictional spokesperson for the brand's cross-training sneakers line called Tubes. Played by comedic actor Danny McBride, the Powers character is a foul-mouthed, overweight and over-partying, former professional baseball player on HBO's "Eastbound & Down."
Well, guess who just became the shoe company's fictional motherf*cking C-E-O, y'all?
Not only is Powers the new CEO, one of his first orders of business was to forge a partnership with Microsoft and Foot Locker that entails scannable tags at 500 of the latter brand's stores. In an effort developed by Los Angeles agency 72 and Sunny, the scannable codes will appear in print publications as well.
The Foot Locker tags are dimensionally 3-by-3 inches while appearing on wall plaques in the stores, a 72 and Sunny spokesperson told ClickZ News. The spokesperson said when people scan the tags with their smart phones, they are taken to a microsite for the campaign. Meanwhile, the print tags direct them to the brand's YouTube channel.
Supported by a summer-long integrated campaign involving TV, display, and in-theater ads, consumers can unlock sweepstakes entries and virtual goodies as they scan the tags.Those digital prizes include Kenny Powers-branded items like a ringtone, soundboard, a digital shoe tour for the Tubes line, and additional video content. Ultimately, the sweepstakes will award three grand prizes of K-Swiss gear for a year.
The campaign features a series of videos on comedy site FunnyOrDie.com. Below is one of the more entertaining (and profane) spots, featuring Michael Bay, Jillian Michaels, and Mark Cuban.

Yesterday Luke blogged about Karsten Nohl, the German engineer who claims to have hacked the 64-bit A5/1 encryption algorithm used by GSM technology. Here's what it all means…
Before the GSM network was introduced in the late 80s, mobile phones used an 'analogue' network to communicate with each other and it was anything but secure. Phones could be cloned and conversations could be intercepted with surprising ease, however when the digital GSM age arrived, these security issues were addressed and gossiping on your phone was a far more private experience.
But things change and what was considered secure 20 years ago probably isn't today, a fact proven by a team of intrepid cryptographers who claim to have broken GSM's encryption algorithm, potentially opening up every mobile phone conversation or SMS placed over a GSM network to eavesdroppers.
This algorithm is known as the A5/1, and it works by scrambling call data over a series of 80 rapidly changing radio frequencies as it's sent between your phone and the base station. To break this code, the hackers used many computers to come up with every possible combination of frequencies, creating a code book which when used with specific equipment would provide the key to unlock your phone conversation.
The hacking team published their results and have said they broke the GSM A5/1 algorithm to highlight the inadequacy of its security, although the GSMA – who are behind the GSM standard – say their research does not constitute a 'practical attack on GSM' and that similar claims are often made, but with no harmful effects. They also say the even more secure A5/3 algorithm is being rolled out, making the breach even less of a concern.
But should we as mobile users be concerned? Not really, no. It has always been possible to listen in on a mobile phone conversation, but it was very difficult, very expensive and usually reserved for those enforcing the law. While this new research is said to show is that it can now theoretically be done with open-source software and a few thousand pounds worth of specialist equipment, plus the necessary technical know-how, doesn't mean it will be, plus the news may push forward the A5/3 algorithm's adoption. Besides, speaking on any phone – mobile or fixed – and relaying private, vital or secret information is never the wisest thing to do, as eavesdroppers don't always need computers to hear your conversation!
For those interested in the more technical side of this story, take a look at the hackers presentation made at a German conference recently.

Competitiveness set McNair apart
Originally Published: July 4, 2009By Len Pasquarelli | ESPN.com
In the wake of the Tennessee Titans' painful loss to the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV, Steve McNair sat in front of his locker in a quiet room of the Georgia Dome, and he cried.
"So close," McNair said of the championship game's final play, when Titans wide receiver Kevin Dyson was stopped by Rams linebacker Mike Jones 1 yard shy of the end zone and a tying score. "It was so very close."
I was a sports reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution at the time, covering a title ...

I want to build a website having its content in two languages. I want to use jQuery for the language switching. My idea is this:
instead of having actual content in the HTML page:

Hello there

I want to use classes:

JS(I'm not good at JS; i've combined it with some PHP so I can make myself understood):
var EN = new array('hello_EN' => 'Hello there');
foreach($EN as $class => $content)
$(".$class").text("$content"); //this should populate all my HTML classes with its content
Then, I must have my second language array:
var RO = new array('hello_RO' => 'Salut');
Now, the switching:
$("#change_to_RO").click(function() {
How should I approach this? Thanks.

How is that any different from Obama being re-elected?
Most importantly, Romney, like Obama, and any other candidate whom the establishment has seen fit to allow to rise among its ranks, will never, NEVER, speak to the fact that a banking cabal composed of a handful of aristocratic families has a monopoly of control over the currency of this nation and the world; a power to chattel not only people but entire nations to debt servitude.
These policies are ALL a complete anathema to the man that Ms. Anderson pays homage to in the opening of her article: George Washington. Darned if even Ms. Anderson isn't given to the "low-information" affliction she has painted her political opponents with when you consider her support of Romney for president.
Our electoral system, and society as a whole, does not suffer from "low information." A wealth of information is always just a mouse click away. Instead, we suffer from a lack of critical thought and the audacity to advocate for solutions beyond those sanctified by the leadership of our respective political parties.
There is no "low-information" deficiency when it comes to realizing that the banking crisis from 2008 wrecked the global economy. Everyone understands that it has heaped trillions of dollars of debt upon the backs of American taxpayers and will continue to do so interminably. And the effrontery only gets worse. Last year, MF Global's golden boy, Jon Corzine, defrauded 48,000 farmers out of $1.2 billion, and nothing was done. HSBC Bank just paid a $1.9 billion fine for laundering drug money, yet there were no criminal indictments or the revocation of any operating licenses.
Now ... take Elizabeth Warren as a case in point. In her first hearing as a member of the Senate Banking Committee earlier this month, she chastised the top federal regulators in no uncertain terms for continually settling financial crimes instead of taking them to trial. Her sentiment is that "too big to fail" has become "too big to jail."

I'm a 15 yrold girl that is just nuts about harry!!!! Yeah I like Twilight too but Stephenie Meyer doesn't sacrafices anyone so...of coarse JkR Is better...
Yeah I have stories on mind but the problem is that i'm still new here (haven't gone into this for a while) and I don't know it they are okay... for example, I want to rewrite all of JKR's books in the way to add a character. Not change the plot and making, for example, hermione w/Harry or something like that, you know not change anyones destiny... I just want to add a character that knows what's going to happen but can't say anything b/c well no one would believe her... she should like have crushes with the charracters but she know that she can't b/c it would alter everything...
so yeah I don't know it this is acceptable but yeah.
Okay well thanks for sticking to my blabber....
Potter's Charm by Secret Lily
Rated: [Reviews - 2502]
All's fair in love and war
Lily thinks herself too clever to fall for James Potters charm. Yet, as the two of them are appointed Head Boy and Girl, will Lily regret her negative feelings towards James? Pre-HBP
Mr. James Potter,
On the date of January the 25th, your parents were killed in the line of duty. We understand that you are of age and that you also do not have any other family members. Your parents left their entire estate and fortune in your name, aside from a small piece of land and a respectable amount of money for a Mr. Sirius Black. We understand your loss at this time and wish you to know that your parents were very respectable workers at the ministry. They were fine Aurors and we honor their memory here at the Ministry.
We wish you all the best,
Alastor Moody-Head of Auror Department & the remaining workers at the Ministry of Magic.
This is so sad.
AWWW!!!! Why cant lily just give this sensetive guy a chance? i think i like both potters now. ; )

Ok, I am trusting you with my best friend. Sadly, but I am trusting a Marauder," Addison said. "I must be crazy."
"Crazy, but bloody sexy," Sirius said, winking and leaving the house. He had to go and meet Lily and James
I love this quote because Abby is being hard to get and focousing on other things instead of her to sirius. Sirius in the other hand is being his self and well Wow! You just cant stop loving Sirius.

Not Another Row... by Lalalalatina
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 15]
Summary: Hermione froze at the door and whirled around. She didn't look angry anymore, but was instead looking rather miserable. Tears were leaking out from under her eyes and leaving wet trails down her pallid cheeks. Though she looked hurt, she still managed to spit out heatedly, "Maybe I will write to Viktor. Maybe I need a friend who doesn't have such a thick skull."
"Well, fine!" roared Ron, his hands no longer in fists but clenching and unclenching much like Crabbe and Goyle's would when they would try to look particularly menacing. "You should tell him to come over and then you could take turns snogging him and McLaggen!"
Ron and Hermione are at it again, but is this the chance they need to break the ice and reveal their true feelings... or are they just too stubborn to seize the oppotunity?

Rocco DiSpirito began his television career as the celebrity chef behind The Restaurant, the memorable 2004 reality program that documented the drama-filled opening and day-to-day dealings of his New York restaurant. Since then, DiSpirito has been channel-hopping, making the rounds through shows including Top Chef, The Biggest Loser, Dancing with the Stars and countless commercials for Bertolli olive oil and frozen foods.
DiSpirito's newest home is Bravo, where he'll be hosting Rocco's Dinner Party premiering June 15 at 11 p.m. ET. In this competition-style show, three cooks (both professional and non-professional) must wow DiSpirito with a signature dish, then throw a themed dinner party for him and a rotating cast of celebrity guests, including Liza Minnelli, Sandra Bernhard and Padma Lakshmi.
Not only do the contestants have to get multiple courses of food out on time, they also have to design the dining area and create a welcoming ambiance for the guests. (Celebrity party planner Jes Gordon is on hand to help out with decor.) Each week, the winner is awarded a $20,000 prize.
We all know how nerve-wracking throwing a dinner party can be so we're definitely keen to see how the contestants on Rocco's Dinner Party fare. Add a cast of celebrity guest judges, a little decorating and a none-too-easy to please chef-host, and this could be a fun change of pace from the typical television food competitions out there.

Does he love me or just using me?
ok. I'm in this situation right now.i met this GUY online then after a week we decided to meet up.THE FIRST DATE is awesome we clicked since then he's always visiting me.talking to me.we always hangout.HEs so sweet and kind and he's always complimenting me.that's why I fall in love with him.but I know that he has a girlfriend but he's girlfriend is not here they are far away from each other.THis guy told me that he loves me and don't wanna lose me,that he needs me.but he can't leave his girlfriend because he loves his girlfriend too even though they are always fighting over the internet and tru phone but he's leaving soon to visit his girlfriend for 20 days.i am so jealous.i am so happy when I'm with him its just that I really don't know if he loves me really or just using me .i need help. I'm really hurting.but I can't let go of him I really do love him so much.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
You haven't stated it, but I'm guessing you're sleeping with this guy and being sexual. That's probably why you feel like you're being used. If he's a sweet and nice guy I can't imagine him using you, but it is theoretically possible he's using you for what he can't get from his current girlfriend. It also sounds like he's going to break up with his current girlfriend because it isn't working, which is probably why he started going out with you, he found that you are better, so he's transitioning to you from her.There is no law about stealing someone''s man away, so if he dumps her and gets with you that's fine and fair. If you're hurting over whether or not he's hurting you, I imagine you'll figure out an answer to that after he comes back from the 20 day trip. If you don't, then you should ask him up front. If he is how you describe him (in his personality), he should tell you the truth about whether or not he's using you.Make your feelings clear, and make it clear you don't want him dating another girl, and that he needs to choose. Don't let him dangle fate in front of you, make him own up to responsibility.Feel free to ask more questions :)
Thank you so much:)
I really hope everything works out for the best, if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask, :)
Yeah I guess...

ummm I think he needs to deside who he wants. it kinda sounds like he only want you because your there && not fighting wit him all the time like his girlfriend. you should stand up to him && be like me or her if he chooses her then oh well 4 get him! noi girl deservesa jerk like that! :] you get me?
Girl. leave his ass. Although it is possible for a person to be in love with 2 people, you don't want to be a victim, right? Especially if you are the #2. Tell him how you feel, and how much it hurts, and if he still chooses to see his GF, and still tells you he loves her, then say, goodbye. Pinayz can't let ANY man treat them like this. no matter how good the sex is. You know we're better than that :) In the future (after he doesn't talk to you for months, yes, MONTHS), he might come running back after he realizes that he is more in love with you than anyone in the world. By then, he will know what he has to do. And as for you, missy, don't let him in that easily. And yes, I'm talking about sex.

Help me get my groove back
November 24, 2008
I've not been dealing well with stress at work recently, and I am now taking some time off to try and recover. What sort of things can I do to get my groove back?
Background: I work in a high-pressure, deadline driven environment. After a number of recent deadlines weren't met, my stress level went through the roof and I decided to take some time out. My manger agreed, so I have some time out of the office to try and lower my stress levels. I'm looking for some suggestions on for things I can do to try and recover my normally calm and in control self. All options are open here; should I go to a Buddhist retreat for a week, or go into intense therapy? What have my fellow MeFites done in this sort of situation?

Is a week all you have, or is that just an example? Cause you can duck out and do some mind-changing stuff, but chances are, when you go back to work you'll be back in
groove. Buddhist retreats are awesome (imho) but the trick is keeping the mindset the rest of that time.
With that in mind, you could, during your week:
- take an awesome trip somewhere (not necessarily lying on a beach if that would bore you, which could stress you itself; if adventure is your thing, do that)
- see old friends. It helps ground you.
- dig out old tunes. Again, with the grounding. (more than anything, for me)
- veg for day -- but not for multiple days as they will fly by.
- wander and philosophize about the life apart from your job. Grab a coffee and hit a newsstand. Browse second-hand bookstores. Strike up conversations with interesting strangers.
But if you really want to lower that stress, maybe try some new routine that you might stick with when you return to work:
- exercise!! This is a biggie. Find something you like, whether that's the gym, a sport, lone activity or pair, group, or class. Immense stress relief. You'll feel better
the time.
- a club or hobby with regular meetings
- a discipline you find enjoyable -- always wanted to learn how to paint? Play keyboards? Sculpt? Nothing is too odd and you don't need any talent
- meditation, if that could be your thing
- volunteer work -- this can be immensely satisfying
Of course, therapy could work, too. You could learn relaxation techniques. You could also consider a new line of work. But before I go looking to change things about my life when I feel unhappy, I first ensure that I'm not feeling out of whack because my body is off -- if I'm getting enough sleep, decent meals, and exercise, and I
feel off, then ok that's something. But if I'm not, then I need to attend to those first or I'll never be able to determine if there's anything more that's wrong. (my solution, incidentally, was doing nearly all of the above, including a new line of work)
Best of luck, dude!

Get out in the sun someplace for starters but I think it would help you long-term find some kind of therapist who will go through the issues you are facing at work, examine them with you and help you work out concrete methods of dealing with them. The therapist has to commit from the outset to helping you deal with your immediate anxiety issues. It really worked for me. Don't jump at the first therapist you happen upon either.

Have you considered the possibility that working in a "high-pressure, deadline driven environment" is not conducive to your overall health and well-being? If you're working (in the States at least) I think there's the false impression propagated you can somehow treat your life like a one-hour Dr. Phil episode. Life generally isn't like that. While some R&R might clear your mind you'll still return to the same deadlines. So how would time off improve your day-to-day work life if you don't have a Plan when you get back?
That said: Give yourself a Project. Extract yourself from your familiar environment. Go on a vacation. Catch up with friends and family. Reacquaint yourself with the flaming ball of hydrogen called the sun. Keep a diary. Figure out what your priorities are going to be. Give yourself permission to be happy and stress-free.
I suggest not frittering the time away sleeping in and watching soap operas. This will not energize you.
And don't dismiss the possibility that while your employer may be ostensibly supportive of your break, they may have been fueling your exhaustion by intentionally assigning you a pace of work that is unsustainable. As an employee they are trying to maximize anything they can get out of you. This isn't me being cynical. This is reality.

I know someone who took about three weeks off for the same reason. He did actually make major changes, one of which was learning not to give a fuck, on occasion, and that perfection wasn't always required.
From what I know about his time off, it involved Cognitive Behavioural Therapy*, yoga (which he practised previously), going out to calm, green places, and time spent with good friends. It's been pretty great to see how he is since then, although I have the same perfectionism and totally cringe - instinctively - when I see him ignoring it.
With respect to quadog (who makes a very good point about employer kindness vs causality), I would steer well clear of some of the following, if you're feeling stretched to capacity:
Give yourself a Project. Extract yourself from your familiar environment. Go on a vacation. Catch up with friends and family. Reacquaint yourself with the flaming ball of hydrogen called the sun. Keep a diary. Figure out what your priorities are going to be. Give yourself permission to be happy and stress-free.
Long-term, the diary and the figuring are a good idea, but just rest and suit yourself if you're at the limit. Ditto the project and the catch-up and (if you find travelling stressful) the vacation. There's no sense in making your recuperating goal-oriented if that causes you stress - if you can get multiple weeks off, then by all means zone out (or meditate or walk in the country or whatever does it for you) for the first week and have some changes set in motion by the last week.
Good luck!

Any chance you live near a beach community? Once when in a similar situation I rented a beach house for a week in the off-season. I jogged on the beach every day. It was lovely and quiet. Brief travel can really help. Takes you out of your norm and reminds you that things are different in a million ways - there's no reason your situation can't be different as well.
Do something where you take care of yourself like you would a close friend going through something similar. Cook yourself healthy, good meals. Buy yourself little presents just for the hell of it. Get a good haircut. Exercise. Do things that you find fun, that make you laugh. Laughing can help release a lot of stress, like the exercise.
Good decision to give yourself some time. Good luck to you and this period of renewal.

It may not be everyone's thing, but there's this wellness coach at my work (which can be sad and stressful at times) that has been encouraging
laughter yoga
for us and the patients. And it's ridiculously fun and pretty immediate. Maybe
try it out
for something different and good giggly fun.

Um, is there anyway that you can use this week to get ahead, learn how to prep better? I don't mean to be accusatory, because I don't know what kind of employee you are or what contributed to deadlines not being met. I also work in a high-pressur, deadline-driven environment, and I know how sometimes EVERYTHING can go wrong.
That being said, at the end of the day, it's still your job. My goal for the week would be to focus on how I can strategically avoid any of the things that lead to several (your words, not mine) deadlines not being met, using reflection and my newly acquired 20-20 hindsight.
Are any of the tasks predictable and repetitive? Maybe you can figure out a way to streamline them so that when emergencies do come up, they are not interfering with the day-to-day, because you've already got it taken care of, and can dedicate more time to handling emergencies.
I've got a lot of other suggestions, but I don't know if this a scenario you can relate to, and I don't want to burden you with something that you're not looking for. But sometimes, a little reflection on yourself and what
can do goes a LONG way, although I agree with everyone else (and you) that a week away could be helpful. But only if you're not walking back into the same pitfalls.

Here is a thought experiment:
Imagine, just for a moment, you are sitting at your desk and the deadlines are back. Where would you most like to be? What would you be doing there? Go do that.

I would use the week to discover ways to reduce stress while you're in the middle of situations like that. This way your week away would yield results when you come back to work.
Deep breathing, meditating, exercising during your lunch hour are all good stress reducers. But the most important thing is how to incorporate them into your life for the long term. So then the next step would be to ask yourself: who would know how to help me with this?
Best of luck. We've all been there in one way or another. I'd love to hear what you choose to do and how it all worked out.

The last thing you need to do when you take a break is sit there and ruminate on everything you did wrong. Sometimes, deadlines aren't met because the deadlines were stupid to begin with, but the business insisted that they be set that way before the project was even defined. Or people involved in the project didn't meet their interim commitments and lied to you the entire time about the status of their deliverable. Personally, I'll bet you probably missed the deadlines because you had too much stress put on your head.
unfortunately, humans are doing this work.
You need to GET AWAY and not think about work. At all. You need to go somewhere and do something you enjoy. Yes, you need better stress reduction techniques, so does everyone. You can research them and have al ist, but do not waste a precious week of the two weeks of vacation you likely have as an American (if you are) EXAMINING YOUR LIFE. It's just going to make you more stressed out and it's going to waste your precious vacation time.
My suggestion would be to go somewhere with weather you can stand, whether that means "an island" or "Austin". Make sure it's a place you're interested in, with specific things you'd like to do (cook...eat... museums... see bands... shop... take photographs - it doesn't matter. Just have something you want to do). Bring some books (but not too many, shopping for books in other cities is a great, fun thing to do.
If you honestly cant get out of town, then make a list of everything in the place where you live that you've wanted to do but have never done. Make a rough schedule for each day. Make sure there is time for daydreaming and reflection. Go pet a puppy. Go for a walk in your own neighborhood. But yes, have a schedule. Figure out what time you'll get up and what time you'll go to the gym (if that's what you do) and on Thursday you'll go here and on Friday you'll do that. That way you don't spend the entire week watching Oprah. And if you nap more than you planned or don't make it to the museum because you were having fun sitting in the coffee shop down the street from your house that you never spend any time in, sitting and chatting and people watching, so be it.
The idea is to let your brain rest. Let you find your center again.
And, yeah. Figure out if you like yoga or insight meditation or kickboxing, or if it's teaching kids to read or helping with homework. Get some schedules, put them on your calendar, and ask your manager for support in allowing you to keep an appointment once or twice a week to get to the sessions on time, explaining that it will help you manage stress and be more productive.
hang in there. and please, don't beat yourself up.

the other thing I wanted to ask, was - are you getting enough sleep? No really. Are you?
Sleep deprivation is a bigger deal than you think. I know, you're all kamikaze getting it on with 5 hours of sleep. That'll work for a while, but you have to get sleep, and GOOD sleep, if you're under continual stress.

Maybe you didn't offer the Buddhist retreat as a serious example, but meditation has really helped me. It's not something I do every day, or even every month, but I pick it back up whenever stress get really bad. It works.
And, as others have mentioned, don't underestimate the importance of eight (or more) hours of sleeps every night and regular, intense exercise.

Worst paid company spokesman of all time.
Worst paid company spokesman of all time.
Isn't it just amazing when random holidays fall on a weekend.
Maybe you're just a frugal drinker, or maybe you're a student and looking to shave a few extra bucks in this time of back-to-school, either way you should really commit these cheap booze hacks to memory.
If you aren't running your $12 bottle of shitty vodka through a Brita water filter, you're not drinking bad vodka right.
It's a fact that booze is good for you.
And drunker.
Any sucker can pound tea vodka, ice-cold Fireball shots, or shot-gun Bud Lights.
People love drinking but no one loves waking up next to a monstrosity.
Nice work, bald guy.
Marked by relaxation, minimal hygiene, and expressing time in beers consumed rather than hours, the cottage lifestyle is a true slice of paradise.
Bartenders do more good for the world than the UN.

Pavel Fedotov
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (September 2009)
Pavel Andreyevich Fedotov (Russian: Павел Андреевич Федотов; 1815 – 1852) was an amateur Russian painter known as a Russian Hogarth.[1] He was only 37 years old when he died in a mental clinic.
Fedotov was an officer of the Imperial Guards of Saint Petersburg. Like many of his colleagues at the time, he was interested in arts. He played the flute and attended evening classes at the Academy of Fine Arts, where he focused on painting. As a student he was not particularly outstanding, yet, in the Army, he gained a reputation as a regiment painter by his portraits of officers and regiment scenes, though tentatively and almost secretly applied himself to satire.
Although, what would equate to a notable career of the day, the idea of being a regiment painter did not appeal to Fedotov, who understood that a true creative artist should devote himself to art completely and so choosing to concentrate more fully on his painting, he retired himself from the army in 1844 and handed himself over to his artistry. Since his salary within the army was not insubstantial and having to support his family back in Moscow his future, now resting on his creative talents alone would have been somewhat daunting.
He initially used both pencil and watercolor to produce his works, though began to develop a more mature medium by changing to painting with oils in 1846.
Completing a number of pieces using the new medium, most notable the 'Newly Decorated', 'Difficult Bride' and 'Untimely Guest' were full of the satire and critique surrounding the then current social and political order.
Fedotov's works were recognized as a new word in art at the exhibitions of 1849 and 1850 in St. Petersburg and brought the painter success that promised his prosperity and, hence, the possibility to continue his work. Though perhaps identified as his crowning achievement of the period was Major's Marriage Proposal (1851) displaying the maturity with which Fedotov skill had developed.
Unfortunately his close ties to the Petrashevsky social-democratic group who went on trial made him a target of government persecution. Sharing the fate of the many democratic-minded intelligentsia, Fedotov was crushed by the reactionary tide. But before he perished, Fedotov had produced his, probably, best works imbued with a feeling of desperate sorrow gradually growing until it reached its climax in the Encore, Encore!, Gamblers, and Young Widow.
Never recovering from his persecution, after a long period of emotional and mental suffering, he died in a mental clinic 1852.

Why You Should Get Netflix
I've had Netflix for a couple of months now and, in fact, I'm watching a movie with the 'Watch Instantly' feature right now. It's by far my favorite feature of Netflix, but certainly not the only one. There are thousands of movies you can watch instantly on either PC or Mac, as long as you have IE or Firefox.
Here's a description of the 'Watch Instantly' feature straight from the Netflix site-
With your Netflix membership you can watch movies and TV episodes instantly on any Windows XP or Vista PC that has a broadband internet connection, or via any Netflix ready device.
Movies available to watch instantly appear on the Netflix web site with a "Play" button and an "Add to instant" Queue button.
On compatible PCs, the first time you click Play, you'll be asked to to download and install the free Netflix Movie Viewer software; after that, playback will start quickly - usually in 30 seconds or less.
Netflix ready devices can play any title that you choose to add to your instant Queue.
Just recently, they made the viewer available for both Firefox on both PC & Mac, and also- playback has never taken more than a few seconds to start. Besides that, it's been a great experience.
Not all of the titles on the 'Watch Instantly' feature are recent, so if you're interested in actually receiving recent DVDs, they do that as well. They'll ship them and they get to you in about one or two days once you have them queued up.
Personally, I like being able to watch movies whenever I want as much as I want. Plus, when you watch movies on Netflix, they're usually widescreen and you can fast forward with a preview.
Right now, they're offering a free 2-week (14 day) trial. That's more than enough time to figure out whether you like it as well. I highly recommend it.

I have had the Netflix service since it started up years ago. Lately I have been streaming Watch Instantly selections via Xbox to my 60 inch plazma. So far, I only watched the first two episodes of Miami Vice.
I was very surprised at the easy of setup with the xbox and the quality is near DVD.
They really have a good collection of watch instantly stuff if you like movies and tv shows over 10 years old. The do have some more recent B movies. I like stupid horror movies so will be watching a bunch of them.

Understanding Residential Sprinkler Systems and Related Codes
I have found that the fire service supports residential sprinklers in a public setting, although a complete understanding of the system is limited.
You have heard the benefits of residential sprinkler systems and this article is intended to give some brief facts about the installation of residential sprinkler systems. One of the biggest myths about sprinkler systems is the water damage that ensues after all of your sprinklers go off in the house.
The media has done a wonderful job in providing false information on sprinkler systems. Think of the various commercials or movies in which one sprinkler is operated and all the sprinklers in the building soon operate as well. This is incorrect and many times this public opinion on sprinklers happens. Sprinklers operate when exposed to the determined heat level of a fire and only the sprinklers exposed to heat operate.
What makes it a residential fire sprinkler system? The fire service over the years has prompted their communities to adopt fire sprinkler requirements in residential settings. The International Fire Code 2006 edition requires sprinklers in all residential occupancies.
Now don't get too excited yet, this does not include "R-2" occupancies which are those occupancies covered by the International Residential Code. The residential code is responsible for the construction of one- and two-family dwellings and certain condominiums or townhouses. The installation of automatic sprinklers in these occupancies is limited to community ordinances that require these homes be equipped with a system or an agreement with developers to install sprinklers.
The National Fallen Firefighters and the 16 Life Safety Initiatives include supporting residential sprinkler initiatives. I have found that the fire service supports residential sprinklers in a public setting, although a complete understanding of the system is limited. So let's take a look at some of the requirements of a residential sprinkler system.
Requirements for Installation
Automatic sprinkler systems are designed and installed per standards which are developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). These standards are developed through a process and are typically referred to by an adopted building or fire code. NFPA 13, the Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, which is the referenced standard for the installation of most commercial sprinkler systems. In the residential setting there are two standards that systems may be designed for. NFPA 13D, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes or NFPA 13R Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Residential Occupancies up to and Including Four Stories in Height. These standards are the basis for the design and proper installation of the sprinkler system.
Sprinklers installed in homes are slightly different then those installed in commercial occupancies. If we start at the supply of the sprinkler system many residential sprinkler systems are supplied by common fire protection and domestic water supply.
In areas where a municipal water system is installed, the water line to the home will be sized to accommodate the sprinkler system demand and the domestic water demand. In areas without municipal water the well will need to be sized in accordance with NFPA 13D and may require a small tank or pump to be installed. This is one area where commercial sprinkler systems and residential sprinkler systems vary. The design of the system. The design in a commercial setting is commonly designed on an area/density method. The application of water over a certain area is the basis for the design. In a residential setting of a one- or two-family dwelling, only two sprinklers are calculated for the needed flow. The number of sprinklers calculated is based on previous fire history, testing of sprinklers, and the successes that residential sprinklers have.

While working as a historical preservationist for UO, he actively reclaimed native habitat at the historic Watzek House and in the Cottrell Wildlife Refuge, a ten acre parcel connecting Washington Park with Forest Park via Hoyt Arboretum. Given this year's opportunity to highlight Portland's incredible Heritage Trees, Bryan has immensely enjoyed working with the Urban Forestry Commission and Portland Farmers Market to bring the 2013 Arbor Month Celebration to the greater Portland public.

Jennifer Karps
I work with the Urban Canopy Program housed in the City of Portland's Environmental Services bureau. We are a partnership-focused, education-based set of programs working to expand and enhance the urban forest canopy through outreach and education, data collection, and tree planting. We plant trees with local nonprofit superstar Friends of Trees, with on-call landscape contractors, and through a residential yard tree incentive program, Treebate. I hold degrees in plant ecology, environmental science, and biogeography, I am an ISA-certified arborist/municipal specialist, and I teach geography classes at Portland State. I love trees because they make a house a home.
Natasha Lipai
While working toward her Bachelor's degree in Geography & GIS at Portland State University, Natasha sought opportunities in the community to apply the GIS she had been learning. This led her to being a volunteer on PP&R Urban Forestry's Street Tree Inventory project, collecting data as a Team Leader and entering GIS data. She did not expect to stay hooked by the fun challenge of tree ID and, since 2011, has not turned back. Natasha has also volunteered with Friends of Trees in various capacities, and is also a Neighborhood Tree Steward, class of 2012! Though she is still brainstorming a tree stewardship project for her own community in the Oak Grove/Milwaukie area, she is now happily serving as a Tree Plan Outreach Coordinator with Urban Forestry and Confluence Environmental Center, an AmeriCorps office. The goals of her position are to increase the scope of the Street Tree Inventory and to maintain a supportive relationship between Urban Forestry and community volunteers through promoting continued tree stewardship.
Autumn Montegna
As a program coordinator with PP&R, my goal is to spread information about the importance and benefits of the urban forest to all reaches of our community. I manage and compile our monthly newsletter, TreeBark, and I help manage the Neighborhood Tree Steward Program. I'm very involved in our Neighborhood Tree Steward Workshop Series as well as working one-on-one with volunteers to accomplish their urban forest project goals. I started working for the City in 2006 as a seasonal employee collecting street tree inventory data for the Urban Forest Canopy Report. I then became Portland's elm monitor, watching over 3,000 elm trees for symtoms Dutch elm disease. I hold degrees in environmental science and management and I'm an ISA-certified arborist. I love trees because of their size, unique characteristics, and the longevity - trees put the world into perspective.
Catherine Mushel
Catherine Mushel is honored to be serving on the Urban Forestry Commission as a citizen activist. She loves living in Oregon, the place she dreamed about as a Montana high school student reading news of the Oregon Bottle Bill. Her experience working on planting, maintenance, and urban forestry assessment issues in her southeast Portland neighborhood informs her commission service. As the chair of the commission¹s Education and Outreach Committee, she hopes citizens will find and visit a Heritage Tree in Portland and be inspired to take proper care of their own trees, their neighborhood trees, and the urban forest that knits all of Portland together.

*** Travel Equipment ***
I will provide sheet music for beginners (first year). After that I would expect the student to seek out and purchase their own repertoire (with guidance from me). They must have a piano in their home - if not, we can work out another location to meet.
*** Specialties ***
Singing is singing, regardless of genre - it is the different application of the same technique that results in a different sound. Singing is universal. What an opera singer vs. a music theater singer work on will be very similar over the course of study. We learn much from the study of repertoire we are not as familiar with. All students will benefit from a variety of classical and popular pieces.
How do we achieve this? Together we will aim for an evenness of vowel production, striving for consistency from one note to the next. Within the context of repertoire, we are encouraged to use the text and meaning of the words to our advantage, and we aim to bring out our inner expressiveness through self discovery.
We use a variety of methods to achieve this, including:
- relevant vocalises and excercises
- picking repertoire that realizes both artistic and technical goals
- encouraging active listening to a variety of styles

I have been teaching voice lessons since January of 2012 and have taught beginning piano as well. I do not accept voice students under the age of 10.
I look forward to working with you!
