"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)
Elliott and the friends with whom he recorded in middle school in Texas (photo courtesy of Dan Pickering)
Topics: robots, The Future, Tyra Banks, WSJ, women, plastic surgery, Entertainment News
In honor of 125 years of publication, the Wall Street Journal asked various celebrities and luminaries to imagine what their industries will look like in the future: Mark Zuckerberg argued that connectivity will change the world, Billy Beane explained how big data is changing in baseball, and
model scientist Tyra Banks predicted that we will live in a dystopian world in which "Natural food will be scarce."
In Banks' future, plastic surgery will be all the rage and everybody will have "at least one personal robot/assistant/companion." Your robot will be able to detect your low self-esteem:
If a person allows that robot/assistant to suggest products paid for by sponsors, that person's robot will be free of charge. In fact, that person will actually be paid to use the robot by a pool of advertisers. The robot will have super artificial intelligence and will be able to sense if its owner is having a low-self-esteem day and will then strategically give boosts of confidence to its owner. "Wow, Eloisa! Your eyes look especially lovely today."
Also, women will be giving birth at age 120!:
Women's empowerment will be an irrelevant concept because the balance of power between the sexes will have shifted dramatically. Women, in control of when they can have children (up to age 120!), and having more degrees and education than men, will be in charge. Men will be responsible for 70% of cosmetics sales and plastic-surgery procedures world-wide. Why? Men will be vying for women's attention, obsessed with being attractive to females and snagging well-off ladies who can take care of them.
Racism will probably also be gone by then, since everyone will have similar skin colors and features, and "prejudices based on physical features will be nearly eradicated. Prejudice will be socioeconomically based." And furthermore, "people with alabaster or ebony skin" will be the outliers, and will be "heralded for that uniqueness."
Here's the future for Tyra Banks' future, I guess?: With everyone trying to look "unique," people are going to get plastic surgery (which will be "as easy and quick as going to the drugstore for Tylenol"). They'll opt to look "alabaster" or "ebony," and then everyone will be split into different races, again, but this time, no one will be discriminated against, because we'll all be faking it! Race is just a construct, and all of humanity will understand that, finally.
But poor people — you will still be around. You'll have robots to tell you you're pretty, though, so that's something.

Wendy Garner of NBC 13's Daytime Alabama talks with Mary Anne
Hollingshead about their knitting group that helps others
Mary Anne Hollingshead has knitted warm clothing items for the Jimmie Hale Mission and Jessie's Place for a while now. As she's worked to help others less-fortunate, her ministry has grown tremendously to include others who have turned their love of knitting into a way to benefit the needy.

Lmao @ voting in two elections and complaining about it
Did you think you could get away with cleverly editing my post to find an excuse to take a jab at me? I turned 18 in 2005, and I did at least a little research during the election seasons that came after, especially this one. The "devil's advocate" disclaimer should have warned you that I was just giving context to the other side of the argument because i've been there; i was close enough to the voting age in 2004 though I wasn't very excited about the potential job either Bush or Kerry could or would do. I wasn't trying to dissuade you.

The secret to this room's well-designed yet effortless style is in the play of large furnishings against smaller accents. An ample sectional eliminates the need for other seating, and the pillows echo the wall art for a sense of symmetry. Adjust the swing-arm floor lamp to shine light wherever its needed; its grand yet delicate silhouette balances the visual weight of the sofa.

C. Everett Koop, surgeon general under Reagan
With his long silver beard and white uniform, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop became one of the most recognizable figures of the Reagan era — and one of the most unexpectedly enduring.
His nomination in 1981 met a wall of opposition from women's groups and liberal politicians, who said President Ronald Reagan selected Dr. Koop, a pediatric surgeon and evangelical Christian from Philadelphia, only because of his conservative views, especially his staunch opposition to abortion.
Soon, though, he was a hero to AIDS activists, who chanted "Koop, Koop" at his appearances but booed other officials. And when he left his post in 1989, he left behind a landscape where AIDS was a top research and educational priority, smoking was considered a public health hazard and access to abortion remained largely intact.
Dr. Koop, who turned his once-obscure post into a bully pulpit for seven years during the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations and who surprised both ends of the political spectrum by setting aside his conservative personal views on such issues as homosexuality and abortion to keep his focus sharply medical, died Monday at his home in Hanover, N.H. He was 96.
An assistant at Dr. Koop's Dartmouth College institute, Susan Wills, confirmed his death but did not disclose the cause.
Although the surgeon general has no real authority to set government policy, Dr. Koop described himself as "the health conscience of the country" and said modestly just before leaving his post that "my only influence was through moral suasion."
Dr. Koop shocked his conservative supporters when he endorsed condoms and sex education to stop the spread of AIDS. He carried out a crusade to end smoking in the United States — his goal had been to do so by 2000. A former pipe smoker, he said cigarettes were as addictive as heroin and cocaine.
Even after leaving office, he continued to promote public health causes, from preventing childhood accidents to better training for doctors.
In 1996 he rapped Republican presidential hopeful Bob Dole for suggesting that tobacco is not invariably addictive, saying Dole's comments "either exposed his abysmal lack of knowledge of nicotine addiction or his blind support of the tobacco industry."
Dr. Koop, a devout Presbyterian, was confirmed after he told a Senate panel he would not use the surgeon general's post to promote his religious ideology. He kept his word.
In 1986 he issued a frank report on AIDS urging the use of condoms for "safe sex" and advocating sex education as early as third grade.
He also maneuvered around uncooperative Reagan administration officials in 1988 to send an educational AIDS pamphlet to more than 100 million U.S. households, the largest public health mailing ever.
Dr. Koop was born in Brooklyn, the only son of a Manhattan banker and the nephew of a doctor. He attended Dartmouth, where he received the nickname Chick, short for "chicken Koop." It stuck for life.
Dr. Koop received his medical degree at Cornell Medical College, choosing pediatric surgery because so few surgeons practiced it.
In 1938, Dr. Koop married Elizabeth Flanagan, the daughter of a Connecticut doctor. They had four children — Allen, Norman, David and Elizabeth. David, their youngest son, was killed in a mountain-climbing accident when he was 20. Dr. Koop's wife died in 2007, and he married Cora Hogue in 2010.
Dr. Koop was appointed surgeon-in-chief at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia and served as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
He pioneered surgery on newborns and successfully separated three sets of conjoined twins. He won national acclaim by reconstructing the chest of a baby born with his heart outside his body.

How to repair vinyl siding
Our three-step guide to replacing a damaged section
Adding a new section of siding
There's a lot of vinyl siding keeping weather out of cottages, and there are many reasons you may need to replace a piece of it. A falling branch could crack your siding, a nearby barbecue could melt it, or your neighbour's potato gun could pop out a chunk.
Tip: When there's siding damage in a prominent spot and you don't have a few lengths saved from the original installation, you may be able to remove a piece from a less visible spot on the building to replace the damaged section. If you have to buy new siding, pay more attention to matching the profile than the colour. A paint shop can match the colour of your existing siding and provide acrylic primer and paint designed for vinyl siding.

A mixed bag with Commerce. Bank personnel are friendly and nice enough to keep me coming back. I was even contacted by a branch manager shortly after opening my account online - very nice touch. If I were an old-school customer this would be great, but I'm decidedly new-wave, high-tech, so online banking is where I am.
Bank policies aren't that different than other brick-and-mortar banks in my area - they require a minimum balance for savings accounts or ding you with a service fee, thus I do not have and will never get a savings account with Commerce. However they do have free checking that does not require a minimum balance (it does require direct deposit, but unlike Bank of America, doesn't require a minimum monthly deposit). Like most banks, Commerce offers the option to allow them to deny payment if I attempt to purchase something that costs more than my bank balance. That's great, but only applies to ATM purchases. Not a big deal for me, since Commerce isn't my primary bank, I rarely use my ATM card. But still......
Online practices and policies aren't that different than any other bank. For starters, the ATM issue I just mentioned oddly doesn't apply to online payments. In other words, if I have auto-pay set and do not have enough cash at the time the payment is scheduled to transmit, Commerce will just let the payment go through. That defeats the big advantage of online banking. My primary bank - ING Direct - doesn't do that. If no money is in the bank they don't send payment. I wish Commerce would deny payments and asked them to do so or if there was some program I can enroll in to make that happen. They "can't do that" is what I was told.
As for the online experience, again, nothing that stands out - except for the fact they obviously are using some kind of commercially available template - I found a number of banks that have the exact same layout as Commerce - albeit with different colors. The recent enhancements are good, but still lags behind ING Direct, Ally B
I went there with my 89 YO mother to get her finances in order. There were 4 people in line and only 2 CS reps. We waited 45 mins to get waited on. The CS service reps were rude and didn't care if they ever waited on you. Once we finally got "waited on" the woman ignored us and I thought she fell asleep while looking at her computer without once saying anything. Just really bad service. Avoid this at all cost!!
I have been a customer of CommerceBank for 8 years. Recently, they started putting holds in my credit card payments every month, for no obvious reason. I found myself in the absurd position to be out of money when I do make payments on time (and far more than the minimum required).
When I asked them about that, they had the nerve to tell me that it was all electronic and that they could do nothing about it.
I am looking forward to get another credit card so as not to depend on this Kremlin-like bank.

There were a lot of smiling faces on the first day of school at Prairie Creek. Students were excited to see their friends and teachers.
New Creek Staff
Rachel Anderson - Literacy/Social Studies 6th Grade Teacher
Rachel received her Bachelor's degree in K-6 elementary education with a K-8 reading endorsement from Coe College in May 2014. As part of her student teaching experience, she had the pleasure of being placed in a 5th grade classroom at Creek and couldn't wait to come back.
"From the moment I walked through the door at Creek, I felt welcomed, respected, and appreciated, and I want students to feel the same way. My experience here has been so positive because it's clear Prairie truly values students, teachers, and staff."
After nearly 16 years as a network engineer for a major telecommunications company and a frequent volunteer with many community service groups, Rachel returned to Coe in the fall of 2010 to pursue a degree that would help her to work in the community with children and families. She took an Exceptional Learners course during her second semester and found her passion for teaching. She thrives on helping students see their own strengths and set goals for success.
When she's not in the classroom, Rachel loves spending time with her family and doing projects on her nearly 100-year-old house, which always seems to be a work-in-progress. She and her husband, Matt, have been married for 18 years and are raising their two energetic boys and two hilarious hound dogs.

Any thoughts on New Timeline?
Has anyone any thoughts on reconverging timelines?
If a timeline/reality can diverge, what would be its possibilities or consequences on reconverging in the ST universe? I am asking this as a purely science fiction question so that speculation may have free reign and not be necessarily traped by only what we "know" about "real" physics.:001_smile:
It's not just a different timeline but a different universe as well. It would be like trying to merge the Mirror Universe with the Prime Universe--both have different and similar histories.
Although some scientists believe that "the Big Bang" that created our universe was the result of the membranes of two earlier universes colliding. A similar thing could happen if the Abramsverse and the Prime Universe should converge--it could simply create yet another universe that will produce yet another James T. Kirk and the Starship Enterprise.
Parallel universes and alternate timelines/realities--love 'em or hate 'em--but they keep going and going and going...

Summer camp is a place where a lot of people make memories they'll never forget and one local camp is asking for help to make their facilities even better.
"We love to show it to people, it's making a big impact on the community and this is just the beginning," owner Trisha Keiser said.
Camp Sonshine is taking an old barn and turning it into a place for kids to run and play, even in bad weather.
They started as a day camp six years ago with 98 kids. Now, they see more than a thousand kids over the summer.
The exterior of the barn is finished, but there's a lot of work to do .
"Today is kind of the halfway point of construction. We've finishing our exterior phase of it and we just wanted to invite families in the community out to see what's going on and kind of see what's coming next," Trisha's husband and co-owner, Jeff Keiser said.
So far, the barn has cost about $400,000, and they're only half way there. They're asking the community to donate.
If you'd like to help, just visit their website, http://campsonshinememories.org/

Despite failing to capitalize on all their opportunities, the San Francisco 49ers have a 17-3 lead on the New England Patriots.
Colin Kaepernick has only completed 8 of 15 passes, but two have been nice deep strikes for touchdowns, and he's run for 29 yards. Frank Gore is averaging 4.9 yards on 15 rushes to pace the 49ers. The league's top offense has been shut down by the league's top defense, as Tom Brady threw a pick on his team's first drive.
Kaepernick's two touchdowns beat the Patriots' weak secondary, hitting Randy Moss for 24 yards and looking Alfonzo Dennard off Delanie Walker before a 34-yard score.
The score could be more lopsided, as San Francisco has given the ball away twice in enemy territory. After getting the ball on the five-yard line following Brady's pick, they went backwards before a Walker fumble, and Kaepernick fumbled the snap on a fourth-and-one attempt. They got down to the three-yard line before running out of time at the end of the half. David Akers also missed a 39-yard field goal.

- What's the origin story behind your RCT username? (submitted by PenHawk)
- What's the most miserable job you've ever had?
- You have unlimited resources to buy and maintain any car of your choosing. But, you can only drive that car for the rest of your life. (When it breaks down, you get a replacement of the same year and model.) Which car do you choose?
- Which four athletes would you include on the Mt. Rushmore of U.S. Athletes? (athletes only, no coaches; all four athletes must be from different sports)
- If any, what TV show do you wish you hadn't started/watched? Or what movie do you wish you could unsee?
Also, don't forget to vote in the poll below! And, I haven't done this the past few weeks, but this time I remembered to include some writing/reading music. (It's on YouTube, so sorry if you can't access it at work or whatever.)

Bought Mountfield SP470 at B & Q . Wheel dropped off at first use. Tried to get refund. B & Q refused. Managed to fix wheel on but grass and dirt got in between wheel case and clogged up eventually stopping wheels from going round. Back wheel height adjusters broke. Ended up sledging mower round garden. Don't buy a mower from B & Q and don't buy a Mountfield. Total rubbish!

Simo Hayha, "The White Death" is considered to be the most effective sniper in Human History. He served in the Finnish Civil Guard during the Winter War with the Soviet Union in 1939-1940. Over the course of 100 days on the Kollaa Front, Hayha killed 705 Soviet Soldiers, including 542 with his bolt-action M28-30 Mosin Nagant carbine. He also refused to use a scope, making all of his kills with traditional iron sights.

Note the Moshin-Nagant rifles with the modified PEM scope.To this day, the M-N remains the most widely produced and longest serving sniper rifle in the world, and remained the Soviet Union's main sniper rifle until it was superseded in 1962 by the semi-automatic SVD Dragunov rifle.
The Mosin Nagant also saw service in Estonia after WW2 as a part of the Soviet Union. In the photo are Soviet (Estonian) soldiers in training. Notice the second rifle which has a bent bolt of some sort but does not appear to be a sniper rifle.

North Korea's Dangerous Ambition
Dec 19, 2012
North Korea's first successful rocket launch is a truly dangerous development. Although the North Koreans have previously detonated two nuclear devices, until now they have not demonstrated any ability to deliver them. Weaponizing a missile is hard, but Pyongyang's close ally Iran has made great advances in miniaturizing warheads. With the combination of North Korea's nuclear bombs and Iran's technology, a nuclear-tipped missile could be capable of striking the West Coast of the United States in the near future. We can no longer afford to ignore North Korea.

text: Depart from Normal is "supposed" to be simply the difference between the average of the daily high and low temps and the average of the normal high and low temps for that particular day. It is computed automatically from the observed data. Not sure about how it is rounded, other than to expect that any fractions .5 or higher would be rounded up. Degree days is the difference between the average temp for the day and 65 deg. Above 65 would be cooling degrees and below 65 would be heating degrees. Just an arbitrary figure generally used to estimate energy usage. Doubt there is any conspiracy here. The NWS is pretty picky about data accuracy. About the only time I see upper management manipulate data is to save budget bucks.

... Despite the fact that these were international flights, and you're supposed to check in two hours early, no one showed up until nearly 5 am. When I went up to the counter, I was praying so hard I can't even tell you. Then I stood there for nearly 40 minutes while the attendant searched for flights that would connect me to Winnipeg. There were none for today, Wednesday was looking like my earliest option. I'd given up on getting out of New York that day when she told me the ...

Following our huge day yesterday and exceedingly late night last night the 3 of us were late to rise this morning at about 10am. Wiping sleep from our eyes following another deep slumber we all got excited as we had planned last night to forgo breakfast and instead head to Yum Cha at Rish's favourite chinese restaurant. Chinatown was literally a 2 minute walk from Rish's house so we left in a rush at 11.45am in order to get a table. I know it sounds crazy to rush for Yum ...

Historical Traveler Reviews Auberge du Vieux-Port Montreal
So So Stay at the AUBERGE
We stayed for one weekend in one of the suites they have available- @ a separate location from the main hotel. While the room was spacious and well equiped, the bathroom was dated and small. Great fireplace, clean sheets, air control in room, furniture really nice. But the smell from the restaurant downstairs was horrible! Nothing like burnt onions too ruin your stay. I had my husband buy air freshener from across the street. Valet parking great. So other than a few glitches it was a pretty nice stay. Reasonably priced too.
Simply wonderfull
Great place. Excellent rooms and service. Breakfest was terrific and staff friendly attentative and helpfull. Only problem is they would not take a reservation for next summer yet.
Good, But....
My wife, son and self stayed here two nights last April 2002. Liked it very much HOWEVER the valet parking service managed to scrape and dent the side door (to a tune of c. $500 U.S. damages.) First, they did not tell us and we didn't notice it until we got near home. A call to them, then two subsequent letters went UNANSWERED. Don't they have insurance for this sort of thing? (Lucky it was only a Ford and not a Rolls or Jag!) These accidents do happen. What we disliked was their IGNORING our appeal which was reasonable. Consequently, we don't recommend you go to this otherwise friendly establishment unless you walk. A case of good staff, bad ownership/management we guess.
Had a wonderful week-end. Great place to relax!
Great Hotel in the Historical Center
I went here with my best friend and his family a little less than a year ago for the opening of a new Cirque show. The hotel was a big part of the experience. The whole hotel has this beautiful cinnamon scent and it is tastefully decorated. A very welcoming environment that is highly complimented by the friendly and very helpful staff. The rooms are spacious with wood floors, medium sized bathrooms and nice views of the old city. Their breakfast service is good and their dinner menu is one of the best in town. Our stay here was amazing and I can't wait to return.
Most charming hotel
I had planned a huge suprise for my girlfriend on the weekend of January 17th. I took her to this wonderful charming hotel to propose. Thanks to all the wonderful staff who coordinated my weekend, our stay couldn't have turned out more perfect. We have now planned to make the Auberge du Vieux-Port a yearly visit. EXCELLENT!!!!!
A very nice old Inn
A very nice old Inn in the nicest section of Montreal. The service is attentive and friendly and the staff are more than willing to help with any arrangements such as dinner reservations or city tours.
The rooms with their stone walls, hardwood floors and tiled bathrooms are lovely, unique and spacious. However, the "jacuzzi" in our room (which we paid extra for) was not really a jacuzzi at all but a small "jacuzzi bathtub/shower" - it was a disappointment to discover this upon arrival. Rooms with a harbor view can be a bit noisy with the trains and early morning traffic - I'd recommend a room over the pedestrian cobbled streets instead.
The place has the general ambiance of a small hotel in an old black & white film - a bit creaky but charming. The off season room rates are reasonable, the full breakfasts and wine & cheese evenings are nothing spectacular but still, a nice touch and even the valet parking is easy & inexpensive. All in all a very nice place to stay for a weekend away.
Excellent Inn
This little inn is perfect for a weekend getaway. Friendly service, great food (breakfast and dinner) and cozy room.
Wonderful Stay
A very unique hotel well located right on the water in old Montreal. Convenient to the metro and other parts of the city.
The rooms are very comfortable with a decor much different than the typical chain or tourist hotel.
The staff is very attentive and friendly.
Breakfast is pretty good (included with the room) with lots of choices, although the quality of some of the cooked items could be a bit better.
Only disadvantage is that our room (overlooking the water) was a little noisy from the hardwood floors above us and morning train and delivery trucks outside the window.
Overall a great experience that we highly recommend.
What a great experience
This was one of the best places we have stayed and we can't say enough about the service. I can't wait to go back!

New volleyball head coach Steve Aird continues to win over the hearts of Maryland fans, joining Mark Turgeon and Randy Edsall as Terrapin head coaches to participate in the Ice Bucket challenge. He took it to the next level, however, truly representing the spirit of the challenge -- watch the video. Straight cash, homie.
The Big Ten released its preseason coaches volleyball poll Thursday placing newcomers Maryland and Rutgers thirteenth and fourteenth respectively.
Here's a chance to see and meet the Terps as they prepare for their inaugural B1G season and before they embark on a 13 game road trip to open the season.
In addition to immediately moving into the top tier of the conference, Maryland also placed three players on the preseason "players to watch" list.
The senior midfielder is among 32 players to make the preseason watch list for college soccer's most prestigious award.
In addition to facing Notre Dame in the ACC B1G challenge, the 2014-2015 non-conference schedule has a heavy local flavor.
In one of the first side effects of Maryland's move to the B1G, fans will now need to buy tickets to two previously free sports.
New assistant arrives from Kansas;
After a historically poor 2014 season, Maryland turns to a former assistant ahead of the conference move.
Katie Myers, a 6'2" sophomore middle/outside hitter from Ohio and Alexis Alden, a 6'0" freshman outside hitter from Wisconsin will join the Terps.

Clusters in Romanian Tourism
AbstractClusters regarded as groups of companies in a certain field of activity, region or area together with the institutions they closely collaborate with aim at stimulating innovative activities, development of experience and knowledge exchange, in order to develop and to contribute to the respective region development. To the end of clusters development the European Commission allocated 86 billion EUR for their financing during 2007-2013. As far as Romania is concerned even though the concept of "cluster" is still little known a growth in preoccupations regarding policy regarding this issue is obvious. At least seven studies have been developed until now regarding the fields and areas where clusters might be opportune. First results have emerged in the field of tourism. In November 2010 the "Carpathian Tourism Cluster Romania" was founded in Brasov. Also, there are premises for the founding of such a cluster in the area of Dobrudzha in 2011.

Proposed Regulations Perpetuate Income Distortion
Ronald Blasi
Georgia State University College of Law
May 2, 2011
Tax Notes, Vol. 131, p. 489, 2011
Georgia State University College of Law, Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2011-12
This article discusses the proposal to modify regulations that determine a debt instrument's issue price whenever there is an exchange of an instrument involving publicly traded property. Under both proposed and current regulation section 1.1273-2, the issue price of an instrument received in an exchange involving public property is equal to the fair market value of the publicly traded property. In contrast, an instrument's issue price in an exchange involving non-publicly traded property is equal to the principal amount or stated principal amount of the debt instrument received, amounts that are unlikely to equal or approximate fair market value. The proposed regulations continue this dichotomy.
Existing regulations under 1001, not scheduled to be changed, provide that the amount realized on debt exchanges is determined by reference to the section 1273 issue price rules. By preventing the issue price of a debt instrument from being equal to fair market value of property in all cases, the plain language of section 1001 is violated, as is the fundamental principal of tax law that income be clearly reflected. This article urges the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service to modify the proposed regulations so as to allow taxpayers to elect the use of fair market value in determining the amount realized on the exchange debt instruments not involving non-publicly traded debt property.

New Andover High School Principal Chris Lord is already at work, saying that for the next several months he'll be laser-focused on helping the staff adjust to teaching three classes each semester.
The Andover teachers union is coming off more than two years of bitter contract negotiations. The contract was settled shortly after a state arbitrator wrote that she was "dumbfounded" by some high school teachers' insistance on handling duties rather than teaching another class. Some lingering hard feelings may remain between some Andover High teachers and the School Committee, and between teachers with different beliefs about settling the contract.
"The teachers are reeling from the events of the last year, and the hope is that we can re-engage them in what they do best," said Lord.
The school's new leader comes as the community embarks on a season of change. In September, Andover High should have not only a new principal, but a new assistant principal, a new athletic director, a new teaching schedule and that freshly-penned teachers contract.
The recent contract agreement has Andover High teachers handling three blocks each semester instead of three courses one semester, two in the other (plus a duty such as being a hall monitor) as they had been for more than a decade.
Lord will be "finding out where they can be supported in this new model of how to instruct. I've been in the model we're going to in my previous school," said Lord. "I can send them down to business schools that are in 3-3 blocks and show them how teachers manage it."
While explaining that he is "blown away" by some of the work teachers are doing in the Andover High classrooms, Lord added the new schedule is "a critical change in behavioral habits for them." He acknowledged moving to a new demand on teaching time is "going to be a struggle."
