I gotta say, it is pretty friggin nice to be 6 - 3. I'm very impressed by our team and what is happening on game days. They really are starting to become a force to be reckoned with. I guarantee you Houston, Atlanta, and New England are VERY thankful they played us early in the season when our guys were still putting things together. I think the outcomes of each of those games would be very different if they were played now.
I think the most encouraging thing I hear from our guys is that they all know they have more work to do. Even our Superbowl teams had holes...our defense was light up front, our DBs weren't all top shelf, etc. Staying humble is something that is important. Confidence is good, but cockiness is bad in this game. I've seen lots of teams talk trash and end up in the garbage come playoff times.
Enough rambling though...let's get down to the nitty-gritty:
- I'm honestly a little underwhelmed by our O-Line's run blocking. They were constantly letting guys through. Some of the time that could have been Carolina blitzing more men then we had blockers, but that wasn't the story all day from what my eyes told me. Judging from our lackluster looking run game the past two games I'd say this is an area they can work on.
- Brandon Stokley did a phenominal job on the TD just getting behind the trash and making himself available to Manning. That was one of the easiest TD's I've seen this year.
- Matthew Willis is losing his luster in my eyes. This is about three weeks in a row where he's derped on the field. This time wasn't the biggest deal...he didn't turn the ball over or cause an INT, but he could have gotten a first down or gotten us damn close and he didn't even try. Matt...you've been in the league too long to think you have the jets to make that dancing work. Head up field and get us some yards...in other words DO YOUR JOB!
- I also thought we were fairly lucky to get out of that game with only one sack. Our O-Line was consistently getting pushed around. They did a good job of getting as much time as they could for Manning...but that Carolina front 4 were doing a damn good job.
- I thought the end of the first half there were lots of things to complain about in a short span of time:
- First off the ref gave us an AWFUL spot. It was at least a yard and a half back from where it should have been.
- Secondly, Fox didn't even challenge to get us closer to the first down.
- Third he didn't go for it (which was the absolutely right call in every way other than if you are a conservative coach)
- Willis McGahee - Matt isn't the only Willis on my Bull list this week. Dude...lock that ball down when you are carrying it. We've officially moved into the "you are fumbling too damn much" zone. :|
- Deymaryius Thomas again was looking good running his routes smoothly. I'm going to stop worrying about his development as a WR. He's showing me on the field that he's putting in the work needed to become great. Keep at it brother! He also showed some great hands throughout.
- Props also to Joel Dreessen for a spectacular catch on the sidelines. Dude looked like a WR catching that.
- I'm also going to ding the play calling this week - there was a series late where we are at 1st and goal and we run the ball with 8 in tightly in the box. That was some dumb stuff. Play-action out of that and make them cover guys. The Panthers had been owning us all game in that department and you play to their strengths? Seriously...run the ball yes, but if it isn't working the goal-line area isn't the place for it.
- We also had a Ronnie Hillman TD sighting. Do more of that son. Also, tell Mike McCoy to start calling more of those types of runs for you...the between the tackles stuff isn't your game.
- I think it was pretty cool to see us put Trindon Holliday in on the offensive side of the ball. That kind of speed can be game breaking if you can get him in space.
- Our guys typically are good at screen recognition, but they totally blew one at the end of the first half. Thankfully it didn't give them points.
- I have to say this year is the best I've seen Kevin Vickerson play. 2 sacks!? Get the hell out of Dodge if you would have told me we'd have seen the type of production we've gotten from him so far this year.
- Carter's Int had to be the nail in the coffin of Tracey Porter coming back to his starting spot. Great break and great hands son!
- I don't know what to say about Von Miller other than WOW! Dude is a friggin superstar defender. I love having someone that good other than Champ on the defensive side of the ball. Miller should get a ton of credit for his work...he was a devastation on the football field this game. I'd just say this...keep that same fire every week Von. I know you wanted this one bad because of Newton...you should try to have this type of motivation each week.
- Another stud on the defense was Robert Ayers. That dude absolutely blew me away. He stunted. He pulled off a gorgeous spin move. He bull rushed like a bawse. Elvis Dumerville (one of the studs of our whole team...not just the defense) sits and Ayers came in like he was Batman V 2.0.
- I think McGeorge has pointed this out before in the comments...but pay attention to Chris Harris sometimes. He's one of the best blitzing cornerbacks I've seen. You can't tell it is coming and he just weaves through people for either pressure or a sack. What a great talent we have. TYJE for getting this kid.
- Adams was just brutal on that safety. He would not be denied and it was a thing of beauty. Dude smelled blood and just went man mode all over Carolina's O-line and Cam Newton. Someone get those guys a towlette.
- Props as well to Omar Bolden - he was very VERY close to an INT on some very excellent coverage.
- Also big cheers for Rahim Moore - he finally hauled one in! WOO HOO! Go get some more boss man!
Special Teams:
- Trindon Holliday. That is all.
- Well not really. HOLD THE FRIGGIN BALL UNTIL YOU ARE WAY IN THE END ZONE MORON!
- I will say this though on that punt return - I saw 2 blocks in the back from our guys that went uncalled. They weren't even close to legal either.
- Prater misses the 43 yard FG - what's his problem with the 40 yard + kicks anyway? He's money from 50+, but he has trouble 10 yards closer? What's with that? Dude needs to warm up between 40 - 50 yards out instead of 65. Seriously.

Biol 1406
Very heavy accent, makes it hard to understand and follow. He puts up practice exam questions that are about 80% of the real exam, so study those. You will have to read the book or dont expect to pass. I got lucky to pass with a B.
Hard to understand, makes things so boring, no help at all, but if you read and study the book very carefully you will pass.
He expected students to have a complete mastery of concepts from reading the book alone and belittled anyone for asking questions. He told our class that we should study for 5 hours a day to pass his course! For lab tests he would stand you in front of the class and ask you made up questions on the spot about labs. Very hard/unhelpful teacher!!!
bio 1406
READing book is the key.
You need to read the book. If you read your chapter prior to lecture you can get things clarified easily. If you are lazy and expecting him to hand out a mock exam for your test dont bother with this class. I enjoyed this class, dont have qualms about asking him to repeat himself if his accent got in the way, but I worked hard for my A
If youre really smart youll be fine; but if youre not, dont take this class. He doesnt help much. He goes through every single thing in text book but very few will be on the test. And, I know it's mean but his accent is very confusing. He likes to say "on the other hand" and everytime he said "enzyme" everyone in my class just cracked the hell up.
i agree that this is college and u have to be on ur own but it could be so much better if professor could help. he doesnt help at all. all he cares about is get the syllabus done. and hes very boring. while i suck at science and have difficulty listening to English, his teaching method and heavy accent really didnt help. shoulda dropped this class.
Not to be mean, but he's very boring. He's like an audio book, just kind of goes through the whole thing on the book, doesn't know how to emphasize the important things and skip the unimportant. He talks a lot about a bunch of things but very few will be on the test. And he has the most confusing accent I've ever seen in my life.
Thick accent and he's hard to understand. His lectures cover content that he doesn't put on tests and he speaks way too fast in his lectures to take good notes. So far, this is the ONLY class I've scored less than a B in. I have to take another biology class and I'm thrilled he's not the instructor. I will never have him as an instructor again!
He was one of the worst professors ever in the event of ever taking biology 1406 i suggest a person please look at rate my professor he cannot speadk english very well he does not have any patience and his syllabus does not coincide with his curriculum you are lost if never taken this class before
also when you ask him about your grades he goes "don't worry you doing great and you're fine". (even if you making a C/B/A. 3 exam (1drop), 2 lab. just hate it when he said you focus on what i say on review you get 100% on exam which is false. on a brighter not he said noone ever fail his class.
worse professor i have ever taken ALL he care about is getting every topics on syllabus lectures instead of preparing his students for the exams. EASY CLASS if you already taken biology and know it. hard if its new to you because he got a heavy accent. review before exam date by reading 15% of exxam questions to you but can't understand.

What happened to the guns? Are they still in my neighborhood? Or are they RC's problem now?


text: Greetings from Fall Break! What a crazy week it was before break. It was filled with tons of studying and cramming for midterms. I feel pretty confident about my midterms -- all I had was Paideia (super hard) and Spanish (which was fairly easy). All I could think about the whole week was going home to sleep for hours and hours in my own bed! You could maybe throw some Chipotle, Noodles and Company and Buffalo Wild Wings in there as well. This break has been so busy. Surprisingly enough, most of my high school friends came home this past weekend so it was great to see them for the first time in a couple of months. We caught up, shared stories and realized that we undoubtedly changed (like most do when they go to college). But still it was nice to see them and spend time with them. It's been nice to see my family this break as well. Things have gotten pretty quiet around the house now that my brother and I are gone. It's just my parents and my dog left in a big house. It's been nice to see them and catch up, but it's hitting the point where I just want to go back to school and have some of my independence back. My parents keep asking me a million questions about school and wondering if I have friends. It's getting old, pretty fast. But I guess they are just curious on what I've been up to, since I forget to call them every week. I'm looking forward to going back to school. I believe I'm heading back on Wednesday so it will be nice to get back on campus and see my friends. I hope the college apps process is coming along, but don't worry if you have not even started! It's still early! Later! Mario

Thank you very much......I'm surprised that my barber's haven't raised their prices in years, but as you say,they are not in it for the money.....at the start of each school year,they cut the poorer kid's hair for free....We laugh because sometimes we are sitting targets for raffle tickets,football pots,dinner plates and donation jars.
The only draw back (and it's rare) is that baby's first hair cut with all the crying and carrying on,is not as funny or cute as it used to be....:-)May 28, 2011 at 4:58 p.m.
Mike, I really enjoyed this blog. I'm sure that my dad would have some tales of barbershops. Now, he goes to a salon in Cuero with me and grandma; at least the salon is still down-to-Earth and not high-falutin'. Cheap enough, too. In fact, I constantly tell the guy he needs to raise his prices because it's the truth. But he ain't in it for the money, he just does what he loves to do.
But the vivid descriptions in your story and in some of the responses make me FEEL like I've been there!May 28, 2011 at 4:39 p.m.
You came out ahead as far as money goes but It's hard to put a price on a good belly laugh....:-)May 28, 2011 at 4:23 p.m.
It didn't start that way, but I could post a blog about puppies and it would would be turned into a political WWF....:-)May 28, 2011 at 4:07 p.m.
Is this the "plus" of Politics Plus? Politics plus some nostalgia... =DMay 28, 2011 at 3:01 p.m.
When my son was small, I took him to a barber shop in Edna. I think it's called Joe's barber shop now, but we were there when the former owner was still there.May 28, 2011 at 1:09 p.m.
YOu are right Mike. That is exactly the atmosphere I remember. It was a great place to go to catch up on all the local gossip, and any question we asked, he knew the answer and then some.
Love the piece. They say what goes around, comes around. My Mom started cutting my hair in a burr and I am back to doing it myself. Now my girls complain about the bushy eye brows.
I hate being disillusioned but this ain't one of those times. I am a Democrat and I have paid every penny I owed since my first pay check in 1958. I have not received a tax refund in the last 2 decades. Maybe I could start Vet43 Oil and get a sweet tax "kiss" from the GOP while we cut back our education funding?May 28, 2011 at 12:27 p.m.
vet43,May 28, 2011 at 12:02 p.m.
Hate to disillusion you, but it's the democrats that aren't paying their fair share. EVERYONE should feel the bite of the taxman or no one should.
Thanks arlewill
Middle age men of today ,go to a lot of expense and trouble to create the old barbershop environment; they call it a man cave...:-)
I think in the era of simpler times, we shared similar experiences.
Yes, no one had to worry about me competing to be the " cotton picker of the year."May 28, 2011 at 9:52 a.m.
Good post,I enjoyed reading about your similar experiences.
Yes,that hot cream and straight razor also tends to keep you motionless but after he applies the after shave..you're go to go for another month.May 28, 2011 at 9:44 a.m.
You have real talent here. I enjoyed this article and the previous one about the five days of picking cotton.
I went to the barbershop for the first time when I became 14 years old. My Mother cut my Dad's and my hair prior to that. I recall the excitement when Mother got her first electric shears.
Barbershops are about the only male enviornment left in our society and are special to some of us guys.
Your article on your cotton picking experience is very similar to my experience as a young boy. It was hot, dry and the results in my sack were embarrassing. I never tried to pick two rows. I was amazed at how some folks could do this job well. Not a fun job and nobody asked me to do it again.May 28, 2011 at 7:19 a.m.
It's not called "Obamacare" anymore. It's now known as "KilledBinLadincare". :D
I fancy myself a Barber Shop connoisseur and being past my third decade of a flattop I well know the fallacy of trying the "Styling" operations. My favorite barbershop of all time is the "Trophy Barber Shop" in Baytown Texas. Late 1940's style with a row of 10 or so chairs and a wooden number dispenser in the center to designate your turn when the shop is full. Walls covered with animal heads and a full mounted Polar Bear just inside the front door. Genuine elephant foot trash cans. Wall to wall testosterone. Heaven.
I liked your comments about the titles being left at the door. A few months back I had an engaging conversation with an older gentleman in the chair about human ignorance and evil, how the two are often confused, and how the former is too common and the latter relatively rare.
When the visit and the haircut were concluded and it was my turn in the chair the first words the Barber had for me was, "Do you know who that was?'
It was the Bishop....nice guy....even to infidels.
The older I get the more joy I find in the sensation of hot cream and a straight razor under my ears and on the back of my neck. Bliss.May 27, 2011 at 10:08 p.m.
OK. 53% do not pay taxes? Really? Now we know who is getting clipped. Me! How do the Republicans keep from paying taxes? I had no idea the GOP was that dishonest to cheat on their taxes.May 27, 2011 at 9:46 p.m.

Mike, while I've got you in such an agreeable mood, are you ready to admit that Obamacare is the biggest public policy mistake since Medicare?May 27, 2011 at 8:12 p.m.
Yes reeder,my mistake,you're right,I posted in the wrong section because I can't read.
Have a Happy Memorial weekendMay 27, 2011 at 7:39 p.m.
Gee, Mike, I guess you can't read. This post was in the politics plus section. Guess you need to either move the post or learn to read.May 27, 2011 at 6:45 p.m.
waywardwind, you could be right but I hope it's not a dying breed.
After I posting this blog I realized that we never talked about politics, race or religion..... It was one of those unwritten rules that we unconsciously acknowledged.....For one, the man with the straight razor would win..:-)May 27, 2011 at 5:06 p.m.
reeder, I'm pretty sure you stumbled into the wrong thread because this is not a political blog..By intent.
I'm in a pretty good mood; it's Friday, so I'll help you find your way.
The Committee on House Ways and Means write our tax legislation, that committee is chaired by a republican Congressman Dave Camp.... Any issue you have with taxes, or a request for a pat on the back for being one of the millions that pays income tax, should be addressed to that committee.
I bet you we're great at the game " Trivia" and 6° of Kevin Bacon.
Have a good weekendMay 27, 2011 at 4:55 p.m.
Mike...enjoy that barber shop. They are a dying breed. Even though I don't have enough hair to make the trip to the barber shop worth the cost, I wouldn't trade that experience once a month for anything. I can't imagine getting my hair cut in one of those fancy-schmancy places that want you to make an appointment and what pass for barbers trying to carry on a conversation.May 27, 2011 at 4:40 p.m.
After the Democrats scalp the 47% of us that actually pay income taxes by raising the tax rate to 62%, WE won't be able to go to the barber shop (or have the need to go).May 27, 2011 at 4:30 p.m.
That's right Jared, the environment reminds me of the old television show " Cheers"....." where everybody knows your name."..:-)May 27, 2011 at 3:02 p.m.
Those are the best kinds of shops! Fun stuff.May 27, 2011 at 2:47 p.m.

A Carpio man died after his car collided with a semi trailer Thursday afternoon.
According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, a 50-year-old man was driving northbound on U.S. Highway 52 at Donnybrook at about 2:15. A semi, driven by 63-year-old George Schomburg of Tarkio, Missouri, was traveling southbound. The car veered into the southbound lane, sideswiped the semi and drove under its trailer, shearing off the trailer axles. The car then veered into a ditch, throwing the driver from the car.
The car's driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Schomburg was not injured; his truck suffered $30,000 in damages.

Apple's war on Google is hurting the consumer
#1 - Not having Google Maps on iOS anymore
#2 - Not having an official Youtube app. The only way I can play youtube videos through a native app is on Foxtube(I hope Apple doesn't ban this) and that app has an AirPlay control in it.
#3 - Mobile Safari has no AirPlay control, you call that the most advanced mobile browser EVAR?
Please, it seems to me that between it's war on Google and running out of ideas, other companies are becoming much more attractive.

This topic comes up almost every summer, and the Court Surfing blog brings it up again this summer.
Starting this fall, the East will reign supreme again for the first time since the days of Jordan's Bulls, Ewing's Knicks, Zo's Heat and Reggie's Pacers.
It commenced with the trade that sent Shaquille O'Neal to Cleveland. Then came a barrage of moves including Vince Carter and Brandon Bass to the Magic, Rasheed Wallace and Marquis Daniels to the Celtics, Hedo Turkoglu, Jarrett Jack and more to the Raptors and a flurry of players returning to the Wizards following injuries.
The teams that had already won, or were on the cusp of winning (Orlando won 59) 60 games, improved. The disappointments in Washington and Toronto became relevant again. An up-and-coming team from the "Dirty South" added Jamal Crawford. Detroit added Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. The reigning Rookie of the Year and MVP play in the East. The "2010-trio" of LeBron, Wade and Bosh all play in the East.
While the East as a whole might be better than the West, for the teams that matter, (playoff teams) the power still lies in the West. You could make the case that the East as a whole was better than the West last year, after all after the Suns no West team won more than 29 games, where every team except the Wizards in the East won 32+ games. But in the upper teirs of the confrences the West is still King.
2008 East vs West Playoff teams
08 East playoff teams total record: 398-258 .607%
08 West playoff teams total record: 427-229 .651%
To support my arguement I decided to do a run down of the East teams, like I already did for the West.
2009 Projected East records
Cavs – 66-16: They added Shaq, but his impact will be in the playoffs.
Celtics – 62-20: They added Sheed, but the big 3 are all a year older
Magic – 60-22: This is very optimistic, they could be much worse
Atlanta – 50-32: Another year of exp for a young club.
Miami – 45-37: Beasley should be better as should the Heat.
Bulls – 43-39: 2 game improvement for Rose and company
Pistons – 41-41: Gordon/Charlie won't make them much better
Raptors – 41-41: Turk+Bosh is an improvement but don't expect miracles
Wizards – 37-45: If they are healthy they still don't make the East playoffs
Pacers – 36-46: They only lost players this summer, but if healthy…
Bobcats – 35-47: Chandler doesn't make them any better
Knicks – 30-52: The lost talent this summer, but run and gun will get you some wins.
Nets – 20-62: They will struggle to get to 20 wins.
Bucks – 20-62: They will struggle to keep up with the Nets.
If I am correct, which I think I will be within a few games here and there, this would favor the East a total record of 621-609 .505%, while the West would be 609-621 .495%. But the playoff teams records will favor the West. Projected 09-10 East playoff record, 402-254 .612%, projected 09-10 West playoff team records, 422-234 .643%. I think the more accurate statement for this arguement would be that the East has caught up to the West, but not yet over taken them, but a good arguement can be stated for both sides, what do you guys think?

|Title: "Craigslist: Free: Los Angeles", 2007
Medium: Graphite on paper.
Dimensions: 11 x 11 inches
Since graduating from UCR in 2007, Matthew has been working to develop his art practice in Los Angeles. He has exhibited work in numerous national and local group exhibits, including an exhibit curated by Dave Hickey in which he was selected by Mr. Hickey for a top jury prize. He also received top jury prize for a group exhibit at the Treehouse Gallery, and another jury prize awarded by the Santa Monica Museum of Art for a group show held at Gallery 825, both in Los Angeles.
Matthew is teaching art courses at local community colleges, and will teach an online course of his own design at UCLA Extension this fall. He and his wife will relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area in the fall of 2008.
Title: Excavation: Utopia of Quantity, 2007
Since graduating from UCR in 2007, Cheryl relocated to Los Angeles and has been working at an architectural firm while developing a studio practice. Her work has been exhibited locally and nationally, most recently at a curated exhibition by Tyler Stallings at 18th Street Art Center in Santa Monica.
After getting my B.A. in Studio Art, I entered the Teacher Credential Program at UCR. I student-taught at A.B. Miller H.S. in Fontana and was hired the following year. I taught beginning art and TV Production for two years there. Then I transferred to a new school in Fontana, Summit High School. I continue to teach the same subjects and I am also the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) Site Coordinator and the Art Club advisor.
For extra dough, I paint murals in residential homes and I sometimes do various local commissioned work (paintings, album covers, graphic designs, etc). I play co-ed indoor soccer, love the company of my three dogs, and I am about to get married in June!
After graduating from UCR, I went on to a Masters Program at CalArts, graduating in 2006. In the last couple of years I have incessantly been trying to approach my art practice from a different perspective: instead of filling a void, I am beginning to realize that true emptiness is not empty, but contains all things. I have worked on numerous videos and films, and am currently finishing up an audio/photo project to be released via cassette; it's expected release will be this summer. Graduating from the UC Riverside Arts department instilled a level of excitement for thought, creation, and viewing our surrounding cultural and political climate (spectacle) with an unsparing critical eye.

A graduate in the MFA program at Calarts in 2003, Matt Lucero has exhibited in Southern California and New York at spaces such as Harris-Lieberman, New York, Lombard Freid, New York, LA><ART, Los Angeles and the Orange County Museum of Art for the 2008 California Biennial. His work utilizes performance, installation and interventions that use commercial marketing and design strategies to open a debate over consumer, public vs. private issues of space as well as display and representation. His most recent series of sculptural public works introduce family history and notions of temporality to examine the complexity and fluidity of regional identity and architecture. His performance and interventions have been seen at Target, Wal-Mart, The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Pasadena Art Center's Wind Tunnel, and The Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena among other spaces.

After graduating from UCR Babette went on to receive her MFA from Claremont Graduate University. Once finished, she started teaching part-time at several local community colleges and universities. She finally found a permanent home at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona and has been a professor there for the last nineteen years. She is also the Chair of the Art Department and has been working in that capacity for the last ten years. The department has almost 600 majors.
During her tenure at Cal Poly Babette has received the Academic Program's Award for Outstanding Faculty Advisor, and the Dean's Award for Outstanding Faculty. Her work has been included in the "The Security Pacific Collection, 1970-1985: Selected Works," and featured in Rotovison's "Color Management, A Comprehensive Guide for Graphic Designers."
Babette continues to produce and exhibit her work both regionally and nationally. Travel is her current muse as it is a constant reminder of how issues of religion, politics, and especially commercialism, can impact and visually define a location and its people.As a designer she is particularly fascinated with the local bric-a-brac, signs, and cultural icons and her current body of work features these manipulated to combine reality and fantasy. Although individual pieces begin as digital photos they don't truly fit under the category of photography. Formally, they are more illustrative in the sense that they begin as one thing and then are layered, painted (using both traditional and electronic media), and generally manipulated into what Babette classifies as digital illustrations.

For the past 25 years, Ramon has taught at The Eagle's Lodge in Yucca Valley, California under his medicine name... Lone Eagle. He teaches a Shaman's way of living to individual apprentice. Yucca Valley for Ramon is his place to develop meaningful thoughts, with ample opportunity for growth.
Since completing his undergraduate work at UCR, he went on to graduate work completed in 2007, and in June of that year was confirmed as Master of Education. This provided Ramon with a bridge for modern day delivery of Instruction using traditional methods taught by the indigenous people of the Americas.
Lone Eagle's work is currently focused on anthropological implications given by the Mayan Calendar. This instrument is based upon galactic spacetime metrics for evolutionary changes mapped for Mankind. The metric is for mankind's realization of galactic consciousness.Ramon's Earth Art installation shown here is called "The Eagle's Beak," after Carlos Castaneda. It includes all of the elements of the spiritual nature of the Milky Way, with an alchemical balance of sub atomic particles called "Itz" by the Mayan.
I graduated UCR in 2004, starting out in the art department, and ending up taking advantage of the then new Film & Visual Culture program.
I've been freelancing as a multimedia artist since my days at UCR. On my last year of school in 2001, I took a break to go full time as a Marine, then headed out to Iraq, came back in 2003 to finish the Film & Visual Culture program.
Since then, I'm still freelancing doing web development and working on music videos. I have been making my time between Tokyo and Los Angeles, trying to make some new business connections, doing whatever it takes to spend more time in Tokyo!
I have a website www.vectorjam.com that deals with my creative services, which range from consulting, tutoring or developing media rich websites.
Cinequake.com is a new production company formed with some friends I have collaborated over the last ten years, which I serve as a co-director and producer and also sit down behind a computer to do compositing and animation effects.

They all look good in the magazine ads and on the trade show booths, but where can a sound professional go to actually hear large-format loudspeakers from different manufacturers? Only to ET Live (an adjunct to the ETS-LDI trade show), a unique event at which loudspeaker manufacturers set up stages with full production in an outdoor environment and take turns presenting demonstrations of their sound systems.
This year, Meyer Sound's stage at ET Live will feature the new self-powered MICA compact high-power curvilinear array loudspeaker, which attained success quickly after its June release, finding use in the summer's tours and festivals, and being spec'ed for new installations.
Western regional sales manager Jim Sides will host Meyer Sound's demonstrations, two a day on Friday and Saturday and one on Sunday, which will feature selected CD tracks and live Latin jazz performances from the Ivan Velasquez Band. Legendary FOH engineer and Meyer Sound touring liaison manager Buford Jones will mix from behind a DiGiCo D1 Live console, while Technical Support Representative Matt Salerno will man another D1 Live for the monitor mix.
The main arrays will consist of MICA cabinets, complemented by 700-HP cabinets on the ground and UPJ-1P compact VariO™ loudspeakers providing frontfill. An LD-3 compensating line driver will drive the system. On stage, monitors for the performers will be UM-1P narrow coverage stage monitors, with sidefill monitoring from MSL-4 horn-loaded long-throw loudspeakers and 650-P high-power subwoofers. Additional support for the Meyer Sound stage is being provided by Blackhawk Audio of Goodlettsville, TN.
Senior technical seminar instructor Mauricio "Magu" Ramírez will make a presentation on the system design and specifications, while a plasma screen at the FOH position shows real-time RMS™ remote monitoring system displays of the system's performance so those attending can see for themselves how much headroom the system has while in operation.
The action will not be limited to the demonstrations. A hospitality tent by the side of the stage will offer a comfortable place to kick back with a cold drink and talk to Meyer Sound staff and fellow attendees.
Attendees who have heard about Meyer Sound's recent acquisition of LCS Audio can learn more about LCS products by visiting them at booth #1801 and checking out the VRAS acoustical enhancement system, CueConsole cue management/mixing/routing system, WildTracks multitrack playback, and other products. On display will be version 4.4 of LCS' CueStation software, featuring new Access Restriction options, the addition of audio waveforms to the WildTracks timeline, and a Track-from-Top function.

MADISON (WKOW) -- About 30 million travelers had their flights canceled or delayed last month, and the winter weather was a big factor.
An estimated 49,000 flights were canceled and 300,000 were delayed in January.
According to one estimate, weather-related costs to passengers hit two-and-a-half billion dollars. That includes extra hotel and meal costs, plus lost productivity.
The airlines did reimburse some of the additional costs, but not all because it was weather related, and wasn't the airlines' fault.
Overall, regional carriers were hit the hardest, with 67 percent of cancellations with smaller airlines.

Just got a new Android 4.3 update (JWR66Y)
My Nexus 10 just got a new 4.3 update today. It's a 1.8 mb download that doesn't change the version number (still 4.3), although it changes the build number (JWR66Y from JWR66V). Did anyone else get the update? My Gnexus hasn't got anything yet. I wonder what the differences are (if any), maybe a security issue?

By GABRIEL ENOGHOLASE
BENIN—WORRIED by the alarming rate at which politicians and individuals rush to foreign countries for medical attention, which has led to the depletion of the country's foreign reserve, the Federal Government, yesterday, said that only public servants, whose medical cases are approved by the Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, would be allowed to seek treatment abroad.
Minister of Health, Prof. Chukwu Onyebuchi, weekend in Benin, Edo State, expressed concern over the increasing numbers of Nigerians detained in Indian hospitals and other countries on account of their inability to offset their medical bills, saying that his office had been inundated with series of letters requesting for assistance.
It was gathered that over N78 billion was lost annually through capital flight by Nigerians and public officials seeking medical treatment abroad.
"There are some Nigerians detained in other countries because they could not settle their medical bills. Some of them, their communities have written me letters for financial assistance as they cannot come back to Nigeria because they are owing. It is a big problem. There are things we have achieved in the last one year. For more than 10 years, we couldn't do an open heart surgery in Nigeria, now two hospitals are doing it in Enugu and Ibadan."
The minister, who was in Benin City, for the burial of the father of the President of the Nigerian Medical Association, Dr Osahon Enabulele, harped on the need for Nigerians to take advantage of the National Health Insurance Policy, which he said should be made compulsory for all employers of labour for their employees.
On plans to curb unnecessary foreign medical trip abroad by public officials, he said "we have people who go abroad and they are in two classes, one are people, who are spending their private money, whether well-earned or not too well- earned. There are others, who are sponsored by other persons including religious bodies. The others are those sponsored by government whether at local, state or federal levels, but it is government sponsorship."

A nursemaid's elbow is a common elbow injury seen in young children. The injury causes a subluxation of one of the bones (the radius) at the elbow joint. Subluxation means the bones has slid out of proper position .The nursemaid's elbow injury usually occurs in children age 5 or younger.
What causes a nursemaid's elbow?
A nursemaid's elbow can be caused many ways, but the classic mechanism is a sudden pull on a young child's arm. For example, an adult trying to prevent a child from falling, may suddenly pull the child by his or her hand. If the arm is in a certain position, the radial head is susceptible to subluxation.
What are the symptoms of a nursemaid's elbow?
Children who sustain a radial head subluxation have sudden pain around the elbow joint. The children often hold their arm flexed and against their body. Common symptoms of a nursemaid's elbow include:
- Sudden pain around the elbow
- Inability to bend the elbow
- Swelling or discoloration around the elbow
Your doctor will also consider other problems that can cause similar symptoms including elbow fractures and congenital radial head dislocations.
What is the treatment of a nursemaid's elbow?
The subluxed radial head can usually be placed back into position by your physician. Sometimes light sedation is used for comfort, but often this is not necessary. When the radial head is repositioned your doctor can usually feel it 'pop' back into position. Children will usually feel immediate improvement in pain.
If the injury is treated quickly, and if this is the first radial head subluxation in the child, then usually immobilization is not necessary. In some cases, a splint may be applied for about a week. If multiple radial head subluxations occur, a cast may be applied for a period of time to allow the ligaments around the elbow to heal.
How can I prevent a nursemaid's elbow?
Parents need to be aware of the limits of their children's body; they are resilient, but they can be hurt! Try not to lift your children by the end of one arm--sudden pulls of the hand or wrist can cause a radial head subluxation in young children.

Posted By ltempest On May 24, 2011 @ 6:47 pm In | Comments Disabled
As Salisbury Cathedral celebrates its 750th anniversary, Vidimus takes a look at the surviving thirteenth-century glass in what has been called England's 'most perfect cathedral'. [Fig. 1. Salisbury Cathedral, © Brian Butcher, Salisbury]. Although Charles Winston's account of how 'whole cartloads of glass … [were] removed from the nave and transepts, and shot into the town ditch', during James Wyatt's brutal restoration of the church in 1788–91 is often quoted, the cathedral still retains traces of its thirteen-century glazing.
Unlike some other churches of the same date, most of the nave and choir aisles of the cathedral seem to have been glazed in grisaille patterns, both unpainted and painted, from the outset. Five unpainted thirteenth-century designs can still be seen in the south transept of the church. They are one of the most important collections of its type. Three of the five designs employ small amounts of coloured glass. [Fig 2. Grisaille glass with coloured inserts]
In addition, a further fifteen thirteenth-century designs, or parts of designs, of the painted type survive. In the nineteenth century the pioneering glass historian Charles Winston recorded more. Many of these designs are extremely complex and were created by superimposing one decorative layer on top of, and overlapping, another. [Fig. 3. Grisaille design from Salisbury cathedral drawn by Octavius Hudson in 1843. For more designs, see the CVMA Picture Archive] . Overall, it seems as if the cathedral builders deliberately preferred a lighter interior, perhaps to illuminate important wall paintings on the ceilings (see Reeve under Further Reading).
In contrast to the grisaille, historiated glass seems to have been reserved for the more important liturgical spaces, typically above altars. Figurative glass was also installed in the separate chapter house, where the business of the cathedral was discussed.
The most important examples of the original thirteenth-century historiated glass are:
Although incomplete, the Salisbury Jesse Tree is one of the most important examples of this theme in English medieval art. Depicting Christ's genealogy on earth, the iconography was popularized by Abbot Suger at Saint-Denis, on the outskirts of Paris in the 1140s. Typically it showed a reclining figure of the patriarch Jesse, from whose loins a tree or vine sprang upwards towards images of the Virgin Mary and Christ. Old Testament prophets and kings were depicted on the supporting branches. Early examples of English Jesse windows survive at York Minster, dating from before 1180, and at Canterbury Cathedral, from around 1200. [Fig.5. Detail of Jesse Tree, Canterbury Cathedral, c.1200]
Although within this tradition, the Salisbury Jesse has some distinctive – and significant – features. The York and Canterbury schemes adopted the Saint-Denis model of frontally disposed figures seated on bench-like thrones grasping the symmetrical framing vine with both hands. The Salisbury Jesse, however, encloses its enthroned figures in vesica shapes, while prophets and angels balance on the vine, leaning forward with movement and vitality, utterly unlike what Sarah Brown has called the 'static gravitas' of the earlier designs. [Fig. 6. The Tree of Jesse, Salisbury Cathedral © Salisbury Cathedral Stained Glass]
The differences may be explained by the influence of a distinctive Salisbury workshop that produced a number of outstanding illuminated manuscripts, including the Wilton Psalter, made c.1250 (London, Royal College of Physicians, MS. 409). Unfortunately the window is now badly corroded and many of the finer details are difficult to see. As we go online, the cathedral chapter is exploring ways to conserve this masterpiece of early thirteenth-century glazing. 'Our first priority is to prevent any further deterioration to the window', cathedral architect, Michael Drury, told Vidimus last month. 'Funds permitting, we plan to install isothermal glazing within the next ten years, hopefully sooner. In the longer term, I know that some people would like the glass to be moved to a different window, but our immediate priority must be its protection.' [Fig. 7. Detail of corrosion on Jesse Tree window © Salisbury Cathedral Stained Glass]
This panel was probably made 1220–36 and shows St Stephen being stoned to death. It includes a Lombardic inscription 'STEPHANUS ORANS EXPIRAT'. The medallion is enclosed within a lozenge with foliate sprays. Before its removal to Grateley Church in the eighteenth century, it probably belonged to a window above the altar in a chapel at the eastern end of the south choir aisle dedicated to St Stephen and All Martyrs. St Stephen was a deacon in Rome and is often called the first martyr of the church. [Fig. 8. The Martyrdom of St Stephen, Grateley Church. © c b newham]
The chapter house glass was probably made 1260–66. The figurative glass appears to have been confined to the tracery lights and showed figures of bishops and kings flanked by angels. Two panels depicting bishops survive in the westernmost light of s.33. [Fig. 9. Chapter House glass in s33 © Salisbury Cathedral Stained Glass] They are in better condition than the adjacent Tree of Jesse scheme. Figures of Christ and two bishops in the chancel windows at St Peter's church at East Tytherley (Hampshire) may be by the same glaziers. [Fig.10. Bishop from St Peter's church, sII, East Tytherley; Fig.11. Bishop from St Peter's church, SIII, East Tytherley]
Apart from its medieval glass, the cathedral also has an impressive collection of Victorian glass, much of it made by some of the leading firms of the nineteenth century. These include Clayton & Bell, Ward and Hughes, James Powell & Sons, Burlison and Grylls, and Morris & Co.
Twentieth-century work includes a window by Edward Woore, a pupil of Christopher Whall, and the intensely blue Prisoners of Conscience Window by Gabriel and Jacques Loire of Chartres. In 1982, a window commemorating the laying of the cathedral's foundation stone was installed in the north choir aisle. It incorporates the heraldic devices of people involved in the planning and design of the cathedral and a representation of the ceremony itself. The window was designed and executed by Sam Kelly of the Salisbury Cathedral Stained Glass studio. Trevor Whiffen painted the panel depicting the ceremony. [Fig. 12.

Starting a PhD in the spring, a predicament I'm facing

Nov7-12, 10:07 AM
I am looking for some academic career advice from someone more experienced than myself. I apologize for the length but I'm in a real bind. There was a school which I really wanted to attend for my mathematics PhD. Call it "A". Relevant: "A" is on the east coast. "A" was accepting spring applicants for the spring of 2013, and so I applied. There are about 8 other schools I wanted to apply but they did not take applicants until the fall of 2013. Those applications are underway at the moment but I won't hear responses from them until spring 2013.
To my surprise, I was not only accepted for the PhD program at "A" to begin in spring 2013, but I was given full funding to attend this school. In fact, they seemed very excited about me as an applicant. This was really exciting for me as I'd been interested in "A" for a long time and to be honest I'd feared forever that I wouldn't get accepted in to any program.
However, two problems arise.
(Problem 1:) I have not had a chance to hear back from any other schools about the fall 2013 admissions. This fall I have submitted some more research that I think have a strong possibility of getting published and I think my application is stronger than it once was and I'm wondering if I'll get accepted in to a better program.
(Problem 2:) This is the major problem and it just came up. Just under 2 weeks ago my dad died. This was a very sudden and unexpected death no one could have anticipated. It really shook me to the core. I only have one family member living now and they are in San Francisco. I now have the urge to be in the bay area now so I can be near this family and also because I want them to have moral support after my dad's death and also they are getting old. So my priorities have shifted a little and I desire a university at least on the west coast. Like I mentioned, "A" is on the east coast, really, really far away.
I had been contacting the department at "A" back and forth quite a bit over the past few months, but nothing was official and I was starting to think the funding and acceptance would fall through for the spring. I thought, no big deal, you know, I'll just begin in the fall somewhere and until then I'll move out to SF. However, two days ago to my surprise "A" sent me an official acceptance and awards letter for the spring. I feel like I'm really in a conundrum now. The possible solutions I see
(Solution 1:) I could tell "A" I'd like to defer and begin in the fall. Problem: If I do this, I'm worried they will be really, really pissed off. I think they went to a lot of trouble to award me the spring assistanceship and also I seemed so enthusiastic about beginning there in the spring and now suddenly I'm a flake. I'm worried they won't want me in the fall and I will have burnt that bridge entirely. If that happens and I don't get accepted in to any other programs or any programs in the bay area, then I am screwed and would have messed up all chances for PhD at a school I feel strongly for.
(Solution 2:) I can accept the offer at "A" for the spring, and begin the PhD program there with the knowledge that I might possibly transfer to another school. Reasons for this: it eliminates the gamble I mentioned for the first solution (deferring and pissing them off then not getting accepted anywhere. This way if I don't get accepted anywhere else I'll still be in a PhD program I want, and I'll move to the bay area when it's done) but more than that I really, really want to begin my PhD especially now that my dad has died. I want to get my mind off the death and just engross myself in studies. To be honest, I am desperate for this. Math is how I deal with hardships. Furthermore, I am on a roll right now, I'm inspired and working harder than I have in years and producing a lot of research (it's not great, but I'm just working my *** off and have ridiculously high motivation). I don't know how long this will last and I want to keep on this track. Problem: I have never dealt with PhDs or anything but something tells me this would be unethical. I don't want to hurt the department by saying I'll do my PhD there then leaving. A potential solution to overcome this I thought is that I could work super hard and over the top and produce and submit some good research in the spring, that way it would "make up" for leaving if I decide to leave. Of course I can't guarantee I can produce good research, but I mean at least I can try really hard, and also try to be an outstanding TA so I will have not wasted their money.
I just got the offer less than 48 hours ago and thought I'd have time to think this over but I got an email from "A" last night saying they need a response right away and I'm just confused what I should say or do. I really really want to start, but if I get accepted in to a much better program for the fall in the bay area, I'd want to transfer. I should state that I don't care about losing any credits in the transfer. I don't care how long it takes to get my PhD. I love studying and research and I'd do this forever if I could. The most important issue is just that I don't want to do anything unethical. Do people start PhD programs with the thought they might transfer?
I have never dealt with these sort of situations because I stayed at the same university for my undergrad and masters, and it was honestly the only university I ever applied to so I never had to decide between going to different schools, etc.
Thanks for the advice
Nov7-12, 02:01 PM
Have you told A about the personal troubles you're going through? Do that and ask if it is possible to start in autumn, if not, start in the spring semester.
Seems to me like starting your PhD is a good idea for you, but at the same time family is important. I don't think you should feel guilty about transfering to another school if the need arises, you have a good reason to do it, and you shouldn't really think about that right now. Start your PhD in A and then see what happens, maybe you won't want to transfer, maybe you won't get accepted by other programs, who knows? As I see it, the only thing you need to decide is whether doing a PhD or being close to your family is more important right now and that's a totally personal choice.
Nov7-12, 02:15 PM
Thank you so much for reading that wall of text. My family member I mentioned in SF would kick my *** if I turned down a PhD option to work in the industry, and the thing is it's what my dad wanted more than anything in the world was for me to do a PhD, as he never had the opportunity for an education. (It's what I want more than anything as well, I am just so passionate about learning!) I'm just so freaking sad about the timing because I didn't get the acceptance until one week after he died so I never actually go to tell him I was officially accepted and going in to a PhD. :( I mean if it had just been even a week earlier he could have heard the news. Oh well that is life. I think I am gonna go ahead and go to A for the spring and if I get accepted in to a program in the bay area I will transfer.
I was just so worried because I thought, am I doing something very unethical? But I looked at the conditions of the assistanceship and it is only for the spring, so I suppose I won't be breaking any sort of contract. I spoke to a professor here that I trust and they gave the same advice. So it looks like I'm going to head off to A.
Nov7-12, 02:27 PM
Starting a PhD in the spring, a predicament I'm facing
People break contracts all the time, and usually there are penalties for that provided in those same contracts. Don't worry about it too much. To me, it seems clear that you should really start your PhD.
I'm also about to start a PhD, and I wasn't sure I wanted it (I didn't know what else to do, but I had stopped being a student and had to do something with my life, an occasion that calls for some thinking at least). But then I think to myself that I'm actually gonna be able to support myself by studying something I love. An opportunity given to few people, especially when what you love is quatum chemistry/physics (in my case) or math (in your case). How many people have the privilige to studying this abstract stuff in good universities as their main activity in life? Not that many... Doing a PhD can be a lot of hard-work, and it's really not for everyone, but if you really love the subject the way say you do, then you'll have little problem doing it. Plus your dad would be proud.
Nov7-12, 02:30 PM
So true! Damn I'm so excited. This has been my dream forever. I can't believe I'm finally here. I thought I'd never get accepted in to a PhD in mathematics. And yes I feel the same way about getting paid to study. Lots of people ask me what I want to do with my PhD or why I'm doing it, but to be honest in so many ways I just look at it as a job that I love to do. I am getting paid to study and do research. I wouldn't want to do anything else!
Nov7-12, 04:44 PM
Yes, I'm not sure what I want to do when I become a doc, but I know I'll enjoy the journey. I think that people who think of it solely as a means to some future goal or aren't passionate about the subject make for miserable PhD students. A PhD really is something you do for yourself. You can get paid better by working in industry, and there are really no guarantees that you'll have an academic career if you do a PhD.
Nov7-12, 10:31 PM
I'm sorry for your loss; it does sound like you could benefit from immersing yourself in study. Congrats on your acceptance. I don't think your transferring should be considered unethical; I'd consider it pragmatic if you decide to go through with it, especially given your family situation. Good luck with your research.

Botox injections have a loyal following, from people seeking relief for severe eye blinking to those wanting to smooth out wrinkles. While Botox provides many benefits, it is important to remember there are some risks. Some of the temporary side effect include droopy eyelidor facial muscles, headaches, nausea, and flu-like symptoms that can last for up to a month. As with any medical procedure, the Harvard Women's Health Watch system suggests you make sure to select a qualified doctor who regularly treats patients with Botox.
A cup of tea can hit the spot on a chilly day, and can also help lower your cholesterol. Studies indicate that tea may reduce LDL Cholesterol, the "bad cholesterol" and that's not all. Tea has been credited for decreasing DNA damage in smokers, and has been linked with a 60% decrease in Rectal Cancer among women. It is believed that the anti-oxidant properties of tea flavenoids are the key healthy ingredient for this beverage.
A study involving over 70,000 middle-aged and older women showed that the more they walked, the healthier their hearts were. The study in the New England Journal of Medicine states that walking helps counter obesity, lower blood pressure in some people and reduces stress. Walking also helps control cholesterol levels. If you are current heart patient, talk to your doctor first, but otherwise, get your sneakers on and take a hike.

Citrus Bowl Turf Going Artificial for 2011
Remember the mud pit that LSU and Penn State played in during this year's Capital One Bowl? It won't be an issue next year as the Citrus Bowl will be getting artificial turf sometime before next season's games. That's good news considering the game gets first pick of SEC teams after the BCS bowls. A few other things will be getting spruced up, but this falls far short of the stadium overhaul that's been on hold for years thanks to declining tourism tax revenues during the Great Recession.

It's interesting to listen to Rush's albums in chronological order, and to hear how things had progressed from album to album. After hearing what had been created on Rush's 1976 breakthrough, _2112_, we could see the band perfecting what had been hinted at on earlier albums. And, here, on the effort that followed _2112_, we witness, yet another evolution.
On 1977's _A Farewell To Kings_, we see Rush entering a more evolutionary period in their writing. To me, this album, in many ways, is a bit more pivotal than their previous album, in foreshadowing what the band would be famed for in albums like 1981's _Moving Pictures_. For instance, in *sound* value alone, the sounds that are found here are much more akin to what you would hear on the later-era, more accessible, streamlined prog-rock in their early-80s period. Also, the instrumentation, and how it is treated is important: it was on *this* album where Rush started to employ more exotic instruments into their repetoire, and in drove-like fashion: tubular bells, wind chimes, bass pedal synthesizers, orchestra bells; these types of airy instruments and sounds were fairly prominent in the _Permanent Waves_-era Rush. And, also as important, it was on *this* album, where Rush started to delve heavily into the use of odd time signatures, and the multiple use of them. To be precise, on Rush's second album, 1975's _Fly By Night_ (their first with Neil Peart), the band did start doodling around with odd time signatures, but not to the extent of which they are used here (and on later albums.) _2112_ didn't exhibit a large use of odd time signatures, so these things alone would leave you convinced of two things: (1). This album was *indeed* a big evolution from _2112_. (2). This album is indeed *more* important than _2112_ in establishing the Rush sound of the future.
The title track starts off with Alex Lifeson's wonderful classical guitar, which indeed features classically-inclined progressions. Even within this classical guitar-filled section, we are already treated to multiple time signature changes. It then explodes into an electric section, which again, exhibits some time changes, mainly from a rhythm in 4 (common time), to a rhythm in 7. At 11 minutes, "Xanadu" was my first favorite Rush extended piece and still remains so. It features poetic lyrics (based on an actual poem) along with lulling chimes, synths and Alex Lifeson's guitar producing a synth-like effect. This is one of the dreamiest, romantic and seductive pieces Rush ever created, if not the most. The musicianship here is sublime: Geddy's seductive vocals and basslines, Alex's atmospheric guitar lines, and Neil's arsenal of percussives (and how he uses them) help to make this truly one of a kind. "Closer To The Heart" is the radio favorite, and needs no explanation. "Cinderella Man", is written by Geddy Lee. One of the more accessible pieces on the album, there is a groove that seems to run throughout the song. "Madrigal", is a dreamy, cosmic, absorbing mellow piece that prepares you for the insane, spiralling rollercoaster known as "Cygnus X-1″.
This song has to be heard to be believed, and is probably the singlemost intense song in Rush's catalog. If you want to hear Neil Peart at his most complex and mad, you have to hear this epic. Written in three movements, the musical insanity found here is seldom found anywhere else in Rush's catalog. The time changes are all over the place in this song; going from stuff like 7/4 (a mix of 3, plus a section in 4), while in sections like the opening of the third — and last — movement (following a tension building section), we are treated to a rhythm in a hard-charging 11/8, where the E (power) chord is (beautifully) pounded into violent submission, before switching to F#, then the time swtiches to 12/8. This particular motif is repeated one more time (only Neil Peart places the accent elsewhere; excellent as hell), in a manic, surging tension-releasing wall-of-sound, before Geddy Lee reaches what was probably the most violently shrieking wail in his career. The climax reached in this song is just as formidable and frightening as the "black-hole" which serves as the topic of this track. It's *really* intense stuff, and not for the faint-of-heart, but for those who, indeed, love a rush (pun most *definitely* intended.)
Indeed, _A Farewell To Kings_ is an important album in Rush's catalog, and truly foreshadows the kind of things you would hear on subsequent albums: it is on *this* album, that you can see where the band was going on albums like 1978's _Hemispheres_, 1980's _Permanent Waves_ and 1981's _Moving Pictures_. You can hear a bit of this album in them all. _A Farewell To Kings_ is my personal favorite from these boys, and has an unique, cosmic charm not found on any of their other albums. It's highly recommended.

Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Veteran wide receiver James Jones practiced again Saturday and has been listed by the team as questionable for Monday night's game against NFC North rival Chicago.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy says it's up in the air on whether Jones will play after he missed the last two games with a knee injury.
Jones spoke to reporters after practice Saturday and put his chances of playing at 50/50.
NFC North-leading Green Bay (5-2), which has won four straight games, will continue to be without receiver Randall Cobb (leg) and tight end Jermichael Finley (neck) for an extended period.
The Packers defense, which will be without outside linebacker Clay Matthews (thumb) for at least one more game, is expected to have inside linebacker Brad Jones available to play Monday.

Residents of western division in Tororo municipality have said that the budget estimates tabled by their leaders is exorbitant and may call for stringent tax collection measures to the detriment of residents. The division council expects to run a budget of shs362 million in the financial year 2013/2014.
According to the finance secretary at the division, Mr. Mohammed Mayende, 30% of the funds will be raised from local revenues while 70% will be financed by the government through grants. He however said that incase funds from the central government will not be remitted in time, then the council will take it upon itself to generate it from local revenue.
"The division has a capacity to fund 50% of the budget if property rates are remitted in time. The mother council will also be expected to remit all taxes paid to the division in time to avoid a shortfall," Mr. Jenkins Ongaria, The division LC3 chairperson said
In response, the residents who spoke to Uganda Picks said that the budget was too fat for a mere division, saying it was likely to affect business men in the division.
"Financing 50% from local revenue will put us into trouble with the town council's collection. They will tax anything and this will affect our businesses," Mr. Julius Ofwono, a resident in the area said. He also added that the council always drew budgets yet there was no improvement registered in the infrastructure of the division.
The LC3 chairperson, Mr. Ongaria however appealed to the technocrats to ensure that the budget is made simpler to fit the community instead of using it as an avenue of defrauding the residents yet the community does not see any benefit.
"Property rates at the division should be reviewed and re-evaluated so that the division gets updated records of all ratable properties within the area," Ongaria went on.
Mr. Felix Gabriel Ofwono, The Senior Assistant Town Clerk encouraged all political leaders in the area to ensure that they support enforcement of council policies other than being seen as saboteurs.
"Politicians are to blame for the poor implementation of these policies because they sometimes don't tell the electorate the truth. They believe that by acting this way, they will jeopardize their political careers not knowing that they are indirectly affecting service delivery," Ofwono said.
