Damu The Fudgemunk
Damu The Fudgemunk
"Very refreshing to hear a young cat with that much soul. Exactly what's been
missing from the game … soul." Marley Marl
Born and raised in Washington D.C., Damu is the son of two classically trained musicians; his mother was a pianist and his father was a drummer. Yet, he wasn't quick to tell them about his affinity towards music. "When I got to junior high school that's when I knew I wanted to do music," Damu says in his calm voice. "Even then I kept it a secret. Your parents are always trying to claim what you get from them. You get their eyes, their nose, etc." Initially, he started MCing but chances are an introverted MC isn't going to be heard. Realizing that his passion laid behind the beat, Damu quickly started studying and absorbing every song he could hear—sample by sample and drum pattern by drum pattern.
"Once I understood how hip-hop worked I started doing graffiti, buying records and of course I wanted to DJ," says Damu, who now owns around 10,000 records. "Some of my [production] influences were K-Def, Pete Rock, Marley Marl, RZA, Erick Sermon—that was the core music I was listening to in 1998. From a sample standpoint, I was into Kool & The Gang, James Brown, Frank Zappa, Bob James…the list goes on."
Damu's sound has developed into a welcoming one to fans of the early '90s Golden Era, but there's much more to his music than the sum of his influences. Think of Damu's signature sound like Voltron—taking a piece from every producer to create a beat monster, but with his own mind as the master control. "I took bits from all the greats and compiled it into my style. I really don't consider my sound a throwback, I consider it a way of production or approach to producing music," says Damu, who on a good day can create three beats. "I have a bit of every great producer rolled into me. Drums are like A Tribe Called Quest meets Premier. Diamond D and Showbiz, their approach to manipulating drum breaks is definitely what opened up my ear."
Things began to speed up for Damu once he became the DJ for the prog-hip-hop group Panacea in 2006. A year later he joined forces with Boston, MA rapper Insight to form Y Society. The duo released their debut album, Travel At Your Own Pace, in late 2007. Off the strength of his production on Y's opus, he started to get recognition outside of Chocolate City. One observer was JNOTA (John), now Damu's business partner at Redefinition Records. "John reached out to me and he was feeling my stuff so we just kept in contact. We linked up when I was in New York promoting Y Society," Damu says. "Over time after I had enough trust in him I felt I could start sending him music. After I sent him a lot of beats he was like, 'Yo, let's put out a download and get things moving.' We came up with "Spare Time" and it became a bigger success than I expected."
These days, Damu has been continuously perfecting upom his production techniques and while he even picks up the mic from time to time, don't lump him in with the current hipster rap trend. "The whole throwback thing is a gimmick now," he says. "It makes it harder for guys like me because I was doing it years ago before all these cats came out. All of this hipster stuff is a gimmick. I'm not a part of it." Instead of following the latest trends or jumping at every opportunity to "sell beats" to any interested buyer, Damu instead chooses to slowly but surely build and cater to his own core audience, through a combination of free downloads/videos and traditional retail releases, all the while making a commitment to quality and staying true to his instincts. He is part of his own personal movement to "release unlimited amounts of good music."
"I just want to do hip-hop the way I hear it my head," he says. "It's just a mood but it also depends on what records I find. I love digging for records and finding things that you want people to hear. That's the beauty of this art form. Just being a sonic entertainer."
Press Highlights
Damu's music has been praised by Pete Rock, played on the radio by DJ Premier and featured in a wide range of worldwide media outlets including Current TV, VH1 Soul, MTVU, XXL Mag ("Chairman's Choice"), Urb (Next 1000), XLR8, Okayplayer.com, Starwax Mag (France), HipHop Connection (UK), Scratch Magazine (Harris Publications), Vapors Magazine, Washington City Paper, Washington Post, Virgin Airlines In-Flight TV, Sirius Satellite Radio, XM Radio and many other respected media outlets.

Sage Rosenfels was recently asked about his feeling of how Christian Ponder was doing, his response, "He has his ups and downs, but he continues to gain confidence every day." Not sugar coating his comment for the media just straight forward, exactly what Ponder and the Vikings need. Rosenfels has played behind several Pro Bowl quarterbacks and has worked with the best and is why Minnesota brought him in.
Ponder's professional career is about a year old now and when Minnesota drafted him, we heard some serious critisim. Especially from the holder of all the NFL Quarterback records a pre Hall of Famer, Trent Dilfer, who stated that he compared Ponder to Elvis Grbac and ststed we made a mistake and to keep Ponder on a short leash. Well how can you argue from a quarterback that absolutely light up the league as a star. Like "Dillweed" Dilfer too many people judged Christian on his 2011 abreviated preformance, all we want to see is progress, that's it.
Rosenfels comments are exactly what Ponder and the Vikings need, honesty. Are we as crappy as a lot believe or have we blown it out of the water and are a Super Bowl contender, no on both accounts. We are better and continuing to do so, some early predictions have us 5-11 to 6-10, just a little better than last year. Even as bad as our record was last year, we were only a play or two from a .500 record at least, it's better that we are ignored right now that will allow us to fly under the radar as they say. Right now lets be straight forward and not give snap judgements or give empty praise, because it will show more growth and wins in the end.

Summary: "World Made by Hand is the story of Robert Earle, a former software executive turned carpenter, and his friends and loved ones, and what happens to them one summer in a country that has changed profoundly. The New Faith order, a radical religious sect fleeing the troubles of their native Virginia, has bought the vacant high school and moved in. Their leader, the darkly comical Brother Jobe, takes center stage in the town's affairs at the expense of the troubled local minister Loren Holder. A gang of lowlife ex-motorheads runs the old town dump as a mining operation and bullies everyone else around the county. Meanwhile, the townspeople struggle to feed their families and hold what's left of their community together." "When the crew of a trading boat on the Hudson River goes missing, Robert is enlisted to find them. His strange journey downriver and the events swirling in Union Grove play out against a panorama of abandoned highways and empty houses, horses mowing in the hayfields, and neighbors working shoulder-to-shoulder at things that matter. A powerful tale of love, loss, violence, and desperation, World Made by Hand depicts a surprisingly lyrical, tender, and hopeful new America struggling to be born."

Can Avoiding Predictability Create Success?
I have come to the realization that as much as I like winning, I like being unpredictable even better. And perhaps that's because I've never really been a winner before (much to the chagrin of Charlie Sheen). I mean, I've experienced it but not consistently enough… maybe I'm just not in win-or-lose situations often enough.
I used to play chess when I was young. I don't remember how serious I was back then; I probably learned enough to know how to play but not enough to know all the strategies that more serious chess players employ. So when my new chess partner pointed out a couple of strategies of beginning moves, I instinctively railed against them. I thought how boring if we each knew exactly what move we needed to make in response to our opponent's move. As I played more, I realized how much I loved making a move that completely perplexed the other player. Since chess is such a mental game, it's easy to make a move with no serious intentions behind it but that causes deep concern in my opponent. And that to me is the fun of playing chess. But maybe that's because I'm not expecting to win, so why not at least make it challenging?
Since then, I've been contemplating whether or not unpredictability is a necessary component of success. Or if it's a downfall when it comes to playing games, sports, etc. My partners in jiu jitsu have told me that when I make unexpected moves, it throws them off guard. The same is true in tennis. But obviously, I'm not good enough yet to take advantage of those weakened moments. I suppose I've got to learn the games fully and get really good at them before I can successfully throw in wild moves, so then I can use both strategy and unpredictability. But I hope to not lose my unpredictabe-ness in the process of getting good at something.
"Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore. " — Chet Atkins

Soccer is a game of margins. The decisive act - the goal - occurs infrequently enough that sometimes unjust results can occur. A team can dominate another, but if they fail in that final act, then they can draw, or possibly even lose.
In a somewhat related note, Virginia had exactly one good scoring chance in last night's ACC Quarterfinal after generally looking disinterested in any sort of coordinated attack for 90 minutes. The Deacs, while not exactly 1970 Brazil in terms of domination, generated probably 5 or 6 decent opportunities.
The Cavaliers won 1-0, because sometimes soccer is absolute bullshit.
The result marked the sixth time in the past eight years that Virginia has knocked the Deacs out of the ACC Tournament, and no, you're not misreading that.
Todd Wharton calmly buried a penalty in the 94th minute (that would be the 4th minute of the first sudden-death overtime) after Chris Duvall was whistled for a foul chasing down Jordan Allen, who had gotten in behind the Wake defense. This was literally the only half-decent chance Virginia had the entire game.
The Deacs, meanwhile, dominated possession and chances. Tolani Ibikunle had a header tipped over the bar in the 6th minute, Ross Tomaselli had a spectacular 20 yard volley hit the crossbar in the 27th, Sean Okoli had a low shot deflect just wide of the far post in the 30th, Luca Gimenez missed a point-blank sitter in the 57th minute after his defender fell down, and the Deacs had 3 chances on a corner kick in the 71st minute, one of which was either cleared off the line by a defender or hit the post.
Basically, it was an utter shitshow for the Deacs, and that's pretty much all I have to say on the subject. Peace.

Long lost theory on Silbury Hill is uncovered (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

Long lost theory on Silbury Hill is uncovered
8:15am Tuesday 2nd February 2010 in News By Nigel Kerton
Letters that lay undiscovered in national archives for more than 230 years suggest that Silbury Hill, the enigmatic man-made mound that stands between Marlborough and Beckhampton, may have originally be constructed around some sort of totem pole.
Historians have uncovered in the British Library in London letters written in 1776 that describe a 40ft-high pole which once stood at the centre of Silbury Hill. Europe's largest man-made mound.
The letters detail an 18th century excavation into the centre of the man-made mound, where archaeologists discovered a long, thin cavity six inches wide and about 40ft deep.
A separate excavation found fragments of oak timber within the cavity leading historians to believe that the mound was built around the pole dating from around 2,400 BC.
David Dawson, director of the Wiltshire Heritage Museum in Devizes, said: "This is important, lost information dug out of the library, rather than through field work.
"It tells us that in one of its earliest phases some kind of totem pole was erected on the mound, then subsequent additions to build the hill up were piled up around that timber."
The 18th century letters, written from Edward Drax to Lord Rivers, described excavations Drax had supervised at Silbury Hill.
He oversaw the digging of a vertical shaft from top to bottom that is sometimes claimed to be the work of the Duke of Northumberland.
Drax, a wealthy landowner who lived in Bath, had hired a team of miners to dig a shaft from the top of Silbury Hill, to the centre of the hill, 125 feet below.
To begin with the miners found little but chalk and pieces of deer antler, but 95 feet down - some 30 feet above where they expected the base of the mound to be – they stumbled upon a deep, narrow cavity.
The hole was six inches across but Drax noted: "We have already followed it already about 20 feet, we can plumb it about eleven feet more."
In his letter he wrote that "something now perished must have remained in this hole to keep it open".
Together with a later, independent account of fragments of oak timber found at the centre of the mound, the evidence adds weight to the totem pole theory.
Last year English Heritage completed a £2 million restoration programme on the mound to prevent it from collapsing after previous excavations, including the one by Drax, had left the structure weakened and prey to erosion.
Drax's letters have been published for the first time in the new volume of the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine.

John Cowie says...
Is the perpendicular cavity discovered by Edward Drax more likely to have been part of the structure of a Roman or Anglo Saxon fort built at the summit of Silbury Hill as suggested by English Heritage? Or the more practical possibility that the construction was built as a military watchtower during their occupation of England? Could the six inch diameter pole be a legacy from this wooded structure? A stake pointed at one end and around six inches in diameter and around six feet long could have been hammered into the hill using the huge sarsen stones which can still be found on the hill but now in fragments? Another stake of similar length and diameter but without the point would then be placed on top of the initial stake and hammered down forcing the first stake further into the hill. This process repeated a few times and in at least four separate locations would provide a substantial foundation for a number of stilts raising the look-out platform to the requisite height above the summit of the hill?
Incidentally, in a recent lecture held at the Wiltshire Heritage Museum, Devizes on Saturday the 23rd January 2010 titled Silbury Hill: the Archaeology of a Monumental Mound by Jim Leary, the English Heritage archaeologist responsible for the survey on Silbury Hill in 2007/8 - there was no mention of a totem pole or oak tree found at the centre of the hill. There was also no mention of a separate excavation that found "fragments of oak within the cavity leading historians to believe that the mound was built around the pole dating from around 2,400 BC". So, when did this separate excavation occur and where did this date come from? I doubt we have the technology today to accurately date pieces of wood to 2400BC?
Where at the summit of Silbury Hill was the perpendicular cavity found? Was it off-centre? Could other similar cavities exist at the summit to support the 'watchtower' theory?
Drax's intriguing letters written in 1776 certainly provides a very important input to the debate on Silbury Hill and hopefully will prompt further serious investigation.
For the latest conclusions from Jim Leary's detailed analysis of the data since the survey in 2008/9 and other theories from independent researchers relating to the construction, age and purpose of Silbury Hill, visit the forum at www.SilburyDawning.c

Richard Matthews says...
Seriously, is there any precedent that historians/ archæologists can point out to us that explains any earthly reason as to why the people of the time should bury a totem pole? After all, if the pole is a totem to a significant deity or event in the past worthy of praise, why bury it?
As for the idea that the pole was the centrepiece of an ancient compass, while being a reasonable explanation, it still fails to address the question of why the hill exists.
My own theory for Silbury Hill, Avebury Circle and Stonehenge is that they are a form of the ancients "Kilroy woz Here". They had either the wealth, the slaves or the force of strength to order these monuments just to claim territorial rights of ancient tribes. Nothing religious, superstitious or science fictional about them. They are there just as we find graffiti on walls now.
The intelligentsia always look for meanings they can neither prove nor disprove and ignore the fact the the human animal possesses a virulent ego and sense of wicked fun. Have you ever considered burying an unusual object thinking, let future archæologists explain THAT.

The hill would have been left in a truncated form, flat at the top.
Its purpose is still unknown but given that upon its completion a view at midsummer of the Great Bear or Big Dipper swooping down and skimming the top would have been seen from its southern base, one can speculate regarding any religious or spiritual element that may be involved.
There is more to be seen regarding this aspect of Silbury Hill, which to the best of my knowledge has been aired elsewhere in Chapter 7 of the book

Have you ever heard that WWI song that goes to the tune of Auld Lang Syne? It makes a lost of sense.
"We're here because we're here because we're her because we' re her (and so ad infinitum)."
Why look for shadows in the forest when they are all around you? Why seek answers to non-existent questions? We are no more than another animal - high in the food chain and intellectual levels, but we are here to propagate the human species and when our work is done, we turn to a lower level in the food chain.

My feelings on this game:
But that shouldn't stop the rest of you! This should be a fairly tight game, with the first meeting between these two separated by just three points. Depending on who you ask, it was either a gritty, defensive struggle, that showed just how dominate SEC defenses were, or it was a 9-6 snoozefest, with some of the most hilarious kicking this side of Mike Vanderjagt. Since then, LSU has gone on even more of a roll, beating Arkansas and Georgia, and Alabama snuck in after Oklahoma State tripped up against ISU. Here's hoping for a tight, competitive game, and that the BCS is demolished in the near future.

Loughborough receives backing to revamp it's High Street
Les Cope-Newman, Vice Chairman of the Business Improvement District, describes what the government backing means for Loughborough.
It has been selected as one of 27 towns in the UK, along with Leamington Old Town, to be backed by the government to revive its High Street.
Its all part of a report published by Mary Portas that has highlighted the need to rejuvenate High Streets that have struggled in the economic climate.
The scheme allows Town Teams to attend workshops and semiars that address the key challeneges that face struggling town centres.

Bucs offensive coordinator Greg Olson met with the local media Thursday and discussed the offense and some of the struggles they have faced in 2011. Despite a disappointing season, Olson feels the Buccaneers can rebound being led by QB Josh Freeman.
When a team is mired in a nine-game losing streak it's not only the head coach, but also the assistants, that end up feeling the heat. That's the way it is for Buccaneers offensive coordinator Greg Olson. Frustrated fans have been nearly as vocal for Olson's dismissal as they have for head coach Raheem Morris'.
Where the blame falls for the 21st ranked offense and a 4-11 season is debatable but Olson keeps plugging along and thinks Tampa Bay will be better next season despite the regression of key contributors like Mike Williams, LeGarrette Blount and particularly Josh Freeman.
"He [Freeman] is a tremendous talent," Olson said. "You've got to understand certainly the numbers this year indicate that it's not the season that any of us expected of him or thought that he would produce this year. I will say that he had one year and offseason with this particular system. It obviously hurt the entire team and it did every team in the NFL not having an offseason, but I think with this particular group of players they will get better and he will get better. I think it will be a great learning opportunity for him to go back and have an offseason and look at the mistakes that were made throughout the season. He's a tremendous talent [and] a tremendous worker. He will learn from this season. He will get better."
While Freeman has been banged up this year (thumb sprain, thumb cut and shoulder) Olson didn't want to necessarily use that as an excuse. He did indicate it may have factored in, though.
"Not overall, but then again it's the NFL and everyone deals with an injury. But he has had his share," Olson said. "He had his share obviously this year with the thumb at first [and] then the shoulder. That's part of the NFL and you know he played through it. Obviously he is very tough. He had the broken thumb a year ago as his first year as a starter. He has dealt with pain and he will learn to deal with the injuries. He will get better. I don't have any doubts that Josh Freeman with be the quarterback here in the future for a long time."

Book description:
The basic logic of preventive diplomacy is unassailable. Act early to prevent disputes from escalating; reduce tensions that could lead to war; deal with today's conflicts before they become tomorrow's crises. Yet as we look at the record of these first years of the post-Cold War era, it is quite mixed. There have been some preventive diplomacy successes and opportunities that have been seized by major powers and international organizations to help preserve and protect the peace. But there also have been other opportunities that have been missed, with some of the century's most deadly conflicts the result. This study examines ten major post-Cold War cases including Croatia-Bosnia, Rwanda, the Baltics, Russia-Ukraine, Macedonia, and North Koreato assess the key factors contributing to both the success and failure of preventive diplomacy. The method of case study analysis employed is based on the work of Alexander L. George. Authors include both leading academics and prominent policy officials with first-hand knowledge

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Brian Matusz was sharp through six innings and Nick Markakis homered as Baltimore squeaked past Detroit, 2-1, in the third installment of their season-ending four-game series.
Matusz (10-12) finished his first full season in the big leagues on a positive note after he yielded a lone run on only two hits while walking two and striking out a season-high nine to earn the win for the Orioles, who have taken the first three games of the series.
"I couldn't be any happier right now the way I've turned things around, so it is a good feeling," said Matusz after finishing the season with six wins and only one loss in his last 10 starts.
Armando Galarraga (4-9) went the distance in defeat, allowing two runs on three hits while walking one and striking out seven for the Tigers, who suffered their sixth straight loss.
"I just want to throw the best I can whenever I am on the mound, no matter what happens," Galarraga said. "If I have a good game or a bad game, when I take off my uniform and put it in the laundry, I know I gave my best."
Galarraga, who was one out away from a perfect game June 2, finished the season winning only one of his last 17 starts and going winless over his final eight road turns since a June 24 victory over the New York Mets at Citi Field.
Koji Uehara allowed a leadoff single to Ryan Rayburn in the ninth and then proceeded to retire the next three hitters to end the speedy two-hour game and earn his 13th save of the season.
Brandon Inge's solo home run with one out in the second gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead before Markakis tied the game with a one-out solo shot in the fourth.
Felix Pie doubled to open the home fifth, moved to third on a groundout and scored the go-ahead run on a Matt Wieters sacrifice fly.

Possiblity of a total nuke war during the cold war

1) it does not make sense. If so, as people wrote above and USA had a considerable superiority in nuclear warheads, strategic bomber aviation and ICBM's, the launch of nuclear missile from CCCP would be a exotic way of suicide. It was USA, which threatened CCCP with its nukes - it seems, that CCCP could answer generally with invasion of armored forces in Western Europe. Because Western Europe did not want to see Soviet tanks in their streets, they tended USA not to think seriously on `guaranteed destruction` of CCCP.
2) Why should CCCP bomb China? CCCP and China were allies in that time.

Flynn to start second preseason game
Pete Carroll announced Tuesday that Matt Flynn would once again be the Seahawks starter at quarterback Saturday in Denver, when the team takes on the Broncos. Russell Wilson will again play the second half.
Carroll also insisted that the competition for the quarterback slot remains a three-way race between Flynn, Wilson, and last year's starter Tarvaris Jackson. Carroll said leaving Jackson, last year's starter, on the bench has been his plan all along.Jackson worked as the number 1 starter in practice on Tuesday.
As for Denver, there is no doubt who their number 1 quarterback is: Free agent acquisition Peyton Manning, who many teams tried to lure over the offseason -- including the Seahawks.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | emailAugust 19, 2008
LEE COUNTY, GA (WALB) - South Georgia's creeks and rivers could see nearly a foot of rain as Fay crosses Florida into Georgia later this week.
Many resident remember what can happen to those creeks and rivers when a system stalls like Tropical Storm Alberto did in 1994. They're keeping a close eye on the path while public works crews work to lower holding ponds and clear sewer lines.
Preparation. That's the key to dealing with these tropical storms, but right now Crisp County Power and Georgia Power are taking a wait and see attitude before lowering Lake Blackshear or opening the dam here in Albany.
Residents along this creek however are anxious about what Fay might bring their way. Margaret Slaughter knows what it's like to be displaced because of rainfall. "In '94, it's unreal, but the top of this house there was only this much showing," she said.
Four years later in '98, after rebuilding her home, it was the same thing. The threat of Fay stalling over Georgia has her thoughts on the past and her eyes on the creek.
"If it stalls, I'm in trouble. If it just rains several inches it will run on off, but you never know," said Slaughter.
Years ago she could predict how much danger her home might be in, but she fears Lee County's growth has changed that.
"Since there's been so much building in Lee County, clearing of land, I guess moving the dirt around or whatever, but now every time it's different."
If her home is flooded by Fay, she won't rebuild this time. "I had the opportunity to sell out to FEMA, put my name on the list, then I got sentimental and I didn't do it, thinking that I raised my children here."
"People think they know and people do a lot for you and all, but it's like the old saying goes unless you've been there and done that, you don't really, really, know," she says.
The worst situation for people along the creek would be for Fay to continue north toward Atlanta dumping heavy amounts of rain over a short period of time, that could create the flooding issue residents along this creek fear.
Water experts say it's not how much rainfall we get here in Albany, what we need to be concerned with is how much rainfall falls north of us. That's what residents will be watching. Drought wise lower creek levels are welcoming news for those who live along the Kinchafoonee.
Public works crews in Lee and Dougherty Counties have been pumping out holding ponds in advance of the storm. Fay's effects may be felt here in south Georgia as early as Friday morning.Feedback

CHARLESTON (WVVA) - After more than a decade of state control, McDowell County has been given back full control of its school system.
The state Board of Education voted unanimously on the move during its meeting at River View High School in McDowell County Wednesday.
WVVA News was at the school and will have more information this evening at 5 and 6.
Following is the full press release from the state Department of Education:
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – It has taken more than a decade but on Wednesday McDowell County regained full control of its school system. To a cheering crowd the West Virginia Board of Education voted unanimously during its monthly meeting to accepted the Office of Education Performance Audits' (OEPA) recommendation to hand over full control to the county board of education. The board also supported the OEPA's recommendation to continue to employ the current county superintendent, Nelson Spencer.
"The McDowell County School System has faced challenges but today teachers, parents and students should be proud of what they have accomplished," said Board President Wade Linger. "I am confident this school system will thrive and continue to grow stronger each day."
"I am so honored to be part of this vote to return control to McDowell County Schools," said Board Member Gayle Manchin. "It is never easy to answer all the issues in any county. One lesson that we have learned is that no one can do it alone. Improving a school system is truly about a community building capacity. It is about teachers, parents, businesses, the faith community and health care outlets all saying the children are the most important priority so how can we join together to provide them the best opportunities."
In October of 2001, the WVBE intervened in the operation of McDowell County Schools due to extraordinary circumstances that resulted in major barriers to providing education programs and services to students.
The OEPA team returned to McDowell County in December of 2005 and January of 2006 to determine progress in correcting the deficiencies that resulted in state intervention. Substantial progress had been made in correcting most of the original findings related to finance, curriculum and transportation however, many personnel and facility issues remained.
A full education performance audit was conducted in November 2009, with findings presented to the WVBE in January of 2010. At that time, the board issued McDowell County conditional approval status, initiated an exit agreement between the McDowell County Board of Education and the WVBE, and returned partial control to the McDowell County Board of Education in finance, curriculum, transportation, the establishment and operation of a school calendar, and other decision making authorities.
However, because of deficiencies that remained in personnel, the lack of resolve to update county policies, and facility issues, the WVBE continued intervention in those areas.
In January 2013, an OEPA audit of the McDowell County School District was conducted as recommended in the Exit Strategy for Returning Control to the McDowell County Board of Education document. The audit was a thorough review of the entire school district. Based on findings of the audit, the Office of Education Performance Audits (OEPA) determined the following:

What if you lived your life just in this moment?
What if when something happens, you didn't make it worse by taking it into the future… but solved the problem in the here and now?
What if when something happens that reminds you of the past… you put the past aside and enjoyed the moment?
What if you gave up worrying about "What might happen?"
What if you believed that this moment was the only thing you had control over?
What would your life look like?
Spiritually we can only live in the now!

That is so good to hear! I'm glad he made it home safely.
I had no clue that you had coyotes and owls. I live in Utah so I do worry about other fisher cats.
I am so sorry he got hit by a car! That's terrible! Now I really understand why this is no other cat. I am glad that he lived! That is very rare. Wow a leash? I could never get my cats to do that. They love you a lot and can understand that you are trying to keep them safe. Especially after the car accident.
Yes, I do want to get them fixed. Sullivan recently turned a year old so I think he is old enough to have it done. And Loki is just over six months old now. I plan to take them both in. It's only like over twenty dollars and it will help them majorly. That's very cool that you are a co-founder!
Anyway, much love and light to you. And I'm glad your cat is home safe. :)
I am happy to report that I decided to stay calm and not project into the future, and went outside about 1/2 hour later and I knew I was different and I knew that the cat would be found and as I was affirming that to the universe, around the corner of the house he came. Phew! This is huge for me to trust that I am who I think I am. And thank you to Sky for your kind words. You see I don't worry so much about the cat no knowing how to get home, it's the dangers that lurk outside. We have fisher cats, owls, coyotes and then there is the road. When the cat (The Varmit) was 1 year old he escaped and got hit by a car, how he lived I will never know. I have trained me to go out on a lease, he will even walk on a lease and my Hodini cat has been content for the last 8 years with that arrangement until last night. I guess I don't understand the "neither of them are fixed yet". Do you want to get it done? I highly recommend it as being a co-founder of a humane society and to know the horrors I have seen and to know that for a few dollars you can bring much suffering to a halt and have happy, loving, wondful, companions.
And on that note, neither of them are fixed yet.
I wish you luck Elissa! Lots of it and lots of love. I know what it is like to have a cat and the attachment that comes with it. When my beloved Sullivan got outside for the first time, he was gone for three days. I thought he was gone permanently and my heart sank. He is solid white, has thumbs, and two black dots on the top of his head. I was worried sick and after the third day, he came back! I was so relieved and he now goes outside freely and meows at my window when he wants inside. He has came back every night since and it's been almost a year now.
My smaller 6 month old kitten, Loki, got out once too and I was terrified. He too, came back later that night around 2 in the morning with Sullivan. I thought he was gone. But cats know their owners and they know how much you love them.
Plus, they know where the food is at. ;) Much luck!! I will be thinking of your cat.
At this moment I can't even believe I have the presence of mind to even consentrate on something other than my problem of the moment. I am worried sick and trying to live in the moment at the same time and let the universe take care of the problem. My husband caught a frying pan on fire, stunk up the house, had to open the windows. I shut the door to my room with my three cats. We stayed there for 15 or so minutes and I opened the door. I went out and tended to the smoke detector that wasn't working to change the battery, whereupon I had this God awful thought that my husband had left windows open downstairs. I could see the cat that had left my room a minute before finding any open window. I immediately went downstairs and my husband asked where's the cat? Then I knew it was trouble and the cat was gone. I, of course wanted to go balastic, but did not and went on the hunt outside. After 15 or so minutes in the cold I let go and came inside to try not to project into the future. I can think up all kinds of scenes and outcomes, but I am trying to stick to the one I want. This cat is not just any cat, he is my heart and I know if anything happens, it will break my heart. So, long story short, I needed this messsage, thanks and wish me luck!
The honor is all yours.
Thank You So Much--I am honored!
I am always in the now.
The present.
I have a path and each day it plays out.
Everything is much better by just accepting all, and going with it.
Spiritually, that is all we can do. Great post Paul. I love all your relaxed soul posts.
Good food for thought and once we comlpete our deprograming of a life time, I believe it can and will be just as you've written. Thank you for this post. Love and blessings to you

Very popular in Limerick city since opening several years ago, the small Cafe Noir chain is now also at the international arts and entertainment centre, Glor, in Ennis.
It's a boost for the town and for the centre which, as they say themselves, "… now has the best café, serving amazing fresh food all day." It's a very attractive space with a relaxed ambience and friendly staff making it a great meeting place as well as a boon for people attending events at the centre.
Superb baked goods and patisserie have distinguished the Café Noir brand from the beginning and a team of bakers in a central kitchen work through the night to ensure early morning deliveries of the impressive range of artisanal breads, croissants, scones, muffins, quiches and desserts.
Breakfasts run from freshly squeezed juices or fresh fruit salad with natural yogurt to crispy bacon and maple syrup crepes, freshly baked croissants and pain au chocolat or a luscious croque monsieur stacked high with smoked ham and gruyère cheese.
Lunchtime sandwiches and salads are made to order pairing breads like light rye, homemade brown soda or walnut and date loaf with an inviting array of fresh fillings and gourmet salads like Mediterranean roast vegetables with olives, sundried tomatoes and feta cheese, Indian spiced couscous or mixed bean with tomatoes and herbs.
Quiches of organic goats cheese, spinach and red onion confit or the classic ham and gruyère quiche Lorrainne are deep and generous.
Hot lunches feature homemade soups and favourites like fisherman's pie topped with parmesan mash, spicy chicken chargrilled with mango, chilli and coriander salsa and chargrilled ribeye steak sandwich with red onion jam and pickles.
Cheerful efficient service is the result of in-house training and food displays at the self-service counters are continuously replenished to maintain fresh appeal.
French onion soup en croûte is a signature dish alongside Irish produce like Ballycotton smoked salmon, wild mussels and a butcher's plate of air-dried lamb, parma ham and ham hock terrine from the award winning McGeoughs of Oughterard. Irish beef comes as pan-seared ribeye or a carnivore's delight of l4 ounce chargrilled T-bone with café de Paris butter and grilled field mushrooms.
Chef's special dishes change daily, along with a fish dish of the day.
A good place to know about when visiting Ennis.

Just don't call it a promo. This year PBR has linked with GNU to create a super limited edition, fully rideable PBR custom snowboard. Handmade in the USA by Mervin and based on GNU's Carbon Credit Series, the PBR comes in 156cm and 159cm with only 200 made in each length. The brainchild of PBR's Steve Nilsen, this puts collaboration where it's the raddest – on snow. Check out some detailed looks after the jump.
In other Gnews, Gnu has announced that they are doing a limited edition pro model Park Pickle with Forest Bailey. Rawsonville Vermont's Bailey is a longtime protege of Radcollector columnist Michael Cohen and a flow rider for SHUT. His model is at select Gnu dealers now.
The I Heart Snow crew put together this dope little edit from last weekend's Rails to Riches contest at Killington, Vermont. Not only does this rep Ice Coast shredding to the fullest, IHS homies Forest Bailey, Shaun Murphy, and Danny Toumarkine took first, second, and third respectively for the dudes and Laura Rogoski took it for the ladies meaning the whole crew was $6250 richer on Sunday night holla!

BOX ELDER, S.D. (AP) - An independent audit has turned up numerous financial problems in the southwestern South Dakota city of Box Elder.
The audit concluded the city is operating at a general fund deficit of up to half a million dollars, has poor bookkeeping, improperly intermingles city funds and doesn't have staff trained to handle a budget.
It also says Box Elder is violating state law by not filing a required annual financial review with the state.
Mayor Bill Griffiths says a lack of sales tax revenue is a problem, and he wants to lure more businesses to Box Elder.

December 18, 2013 | Sierra Nevada Resort & Spa Offers New Personalized Ski Valet Service
Sierra Nevada Resort announces Black Tie ski valet service on-site
Skiing Mammoth Mountain just got even easier. The Sierra Nevada Resort & Spa, located in the heart of Mammoth Lakes, Calif., is announcing a new partnership with Black Tie Ski Rentals as the hotel's on-site ski valet to offer guests personalized ski rental and valet service. The Black Tie presence at the Sierra Nevada Resort will include a lobby shop with a wide variety of the latest premium ski equipment from top brands such as Atomic, Dynastar, K2, Nordica and Solomon. Black Tie also will provide in-room fittings – customizing equipment for terrain and ability levels – as well as retail sales at the hotel and slope-side equipment delivery and assistance at Mammoth.
"Black Tie is known for its ability to handle all the typical logistical challenges of skiing for a hassle-free experience," says Sierra Nevada Resort General Manager Brent Truax. "Our focus at Sierra Nevada Resort & Spa is on outstanding customer service throughout a guest's stay, so joining forces with Black Tie to bring that level of attention to the skiing experience for our guests just made sense."
The Sierra Nevada Resort & Spa caters to skiing guests with its on-site Black Tie Ski Rentals services and with a complimentary shuttle to whisk skiers directly to the slopes. To further streamline the experience, guests can schedule an appointment with the on-site ski valet online at www.blacktieskis.com/snr and let the Black Tie team do the rest. And Black Tie is providing Sierra Nevada Resort guests with a 20-percent discount on rentals throughout the 2013/2014 ski season (with Dec. 19 – Jan. 5 and February 13 – 23 blackout dates).
Black Tie Ski Rentals is the largest ski rental delivery service in North America. The company's owner-operated branches provide a convenient, time saving service that allows travelers to skip the rental lines and get fit in the convenience of their accommodations.
December 17, 2013 | The Sierra Nevada Resort Adds Day Spa, Changes Name
Local day spa opens in time for the holidays: gift certificates now available for The Spa at Sierra Nevada Resort
The Sierra Nevada Resort has added a new 2,500-square-foot spa just in time for the holidays, announced General Manager Brent Truax. With the day spa addition – the first in Mammoth Lakes – the resort also officially changes its name to The Sierra Nevada Resort & Spa.
"We realized a need in Mammoth Lakes for a day spa," says Truax. "The new spa will cater to guests and locals looking for a massage and steam after a good ski day on the mountain – or people with tired arms and shoulders from carrying their holiday shopping packages who might need a bit of pampering."
The new spa at the Sierra Nevada Resort includes a rustic-luxe waiting room with juice bar, a steam and sauna, and four treatment rooms with fireplaces designed so guests can enjoy watching the flames while receiving treatments. The spa will specialize in body treatments and wraps as well as offering relaxing facials. "Our spa offerings will include treatments that infuse local herbs, flora and ingredients we have in the Mammoth area," says Truax.
Truax brings 20 years of spa background to the new services on offer at the resort. In addition to overseeing the Westin Monache in Mammoth Lakes as General Manager prior to joining the Sierra Nevada Resort & Spa, his past experience includes serving as general manager for The Peaks Resort in Telluride, Colo.; Canyon Ranch Resort & Spa in Tucson, Ariz.; and the acclaimed Mirbeau Inn & Spa in Skaneateles, N.Y.
"We are currently selling gift certificates for the spa – and we also have gift certificates for Jimmy's Taverna and Rafters," says Truax.
Truax adds that the resort is taking reservations for New Year's Eve. Rafters is offering a four-course tasting menu from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. with the after party beginning at 9:30 p.m. Jimmy's is offering a four-course tasting menu for $65. "Both venues are already filling up with reservations and we encourage revelers to make reservations soon."

Three distinctive restaurants are located on the resort's six-acre property, including The Red Lantern Chinese, Rafters Restaurant and Lounge; and Jimmy's Taverna, which opened in December 2012 to acclaim as "the best new restaurant in Mammoth," specializing in wood-fired seafood and traditional Greek cuisine.

California is paving the way for driverless cars, approving new laws that will help legalize their use.
Google's fleet of a dozen computer controlled vehicles have logged more than 300,000 miles of self-driving, without an accident.
Autonomous cars use computers, sensors and other technology to operate independently, but a human driver can override the autopilot function and take control of the vehicle at any time.
The company says driverless cars will make roads safer, and provide transportation for people who cannot drive, like the blind, disabled, elderly or intoxicated.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder says he likes the idea of driverless cars but wants to wait to make them legal in our state.
For tonight's "Feedback at 5:00," we asked if you would support this new technology in Michigan.
