New Super Mario Bros 2
New Super Mario Bros. 2 Review
Review By Jickle @ 01:00pm 20/08/12
To say that we know what to expect from a Mario game by now is, usually, both a tested truism and a misnomer. Since Super Mario Bros 3 (still the best 2D Mario), these games have been all about taking elements from the older games in the series and pushing them in awesome new directions, throwing up unexpected, delightful level designs and crazy abilities. The Galaxy games play out as a series of amazing experiments, and last year's 3D Land was an excellent mash-up of the sensibilities of both the 2D and 3D Mario platformers.
But then, there's the misleadingly titled New Super Mario Bros 2, the third 'New' game since the 2006 DS version, which seems unusually content to simply exist. Early on, in particular, it's easy to completely tune out on this one. While the DS game was the first proper 2D Mario game in ages, and the Wii version still felt fresh and bold, the 3DS version has a bit of a cash-cow feel to it, to the extent where its coin-collecting theme feels more like a metaphor than a gimmick.
There are coins absolutely everywhere in NSMB2, spewing out of pipes, popping out of blocks, and bursting out of enemies if you've collected the proper power-ups. This may up the stakes in the (offline only) multiplayer somewhat, and it gives you a bit more of a sense of purpose when you're running through each level, but the accumulation of wealth isn't actually all that great an incentive for those of us who have been collecting these coins for years now, especially when the reward for collecting a million of the damn things is a new title screen. The 'life' system is, surely, nothing more than a winking parody of game convention at this point, effortlessly soaring into triple figures by the end of the game as you're literally showered with gold. As a way of establishing identity within the Mario series, this gold-rush isn't particularly inspired.
Otherwise, New Super Mario Bros 2 is a pretty low-key affair, full of old ideas and awful boss fights. When the Tanooki suit popped up in 3D Land, it was a welcome piece of nostalgia, cleverly reinvented for the 3D world; here, it just feels a bit underused. The enemies and levels are all too familiar, as are all your moves. Even the graphics feel a bit muted, especially when the 3D effect blurs the otherwise quite pleasant backgrounds to achieve depth.
None of this means that New Super Mario Bros 2 ever even comes close to being a bad game, mind you. Mario games are, at their absolute worst, merely inessential, and it's easier to complain about what this game gets wrong because the many things it gets right are so familiar to us by now that pointing them out hardly seems necessary. It's worth noting that from the halfway point onwards some levels actually do exhibit some of that classical Nintendo brilliance, and although the game is quite short there are plenty of fun bits to play through. More than ever, this one is about exploring rather than reaching the finish. Just getting to the flag at the end of most levels is disappointingly unexciting and easy, but hunting down the three hidden Star Coins in each map, and the multiple hidden paths and exits, is often a pleasure.
Plus, every now and then, you'll find a level that is actually totally rad. The last few worlds are fairly cool, and there are a few neat gimmicks along the way, including ghost houses that warp and move around, Lakitu clouds that can be controlled, pipes that fire you across the level. And, as always, Mario's unique combination of beer-gut heaviness and floaty jumping just sort of works.
So yes, New Super Mario Bros 2 is a Mario game, and in some ways it gives you pretty much what you'd expect. But it's also the first Mario game I've ever played that frequently bored me, and as much as it manages to nail the central mechanics and tick many of the right boxes, it also serves as worrying proof that, in the world of gaming, no series is truly sacred.

This thread is hilarious. So many self-righteous pricks missing the point. Before fascination there must be exposure.
If celebrity attention can get kids to consider programming for even five seconds, they've done their job well. You don't trot out Ritchie and Kernighan to inspire 8th graders. Justin Bieber has a thousand times the reach. Let kids know it's cool and the wonderment will follow.
This is why slashbots don't run marketing campaigns.

something that would really help: An up-to-date complete treatise of all the basic evidence that demonstrates the foundations of evolutionary theory.
Wrong tactic. A landslide of technical evidence will only bore and confuse your audience. What's needed is something simple. Like this:
Show them the bones. Teach kids a little anantomy. Give them casts of bones to examine. Show them how every mammal on earth shares certain features like hip bones and phalanges, even where they make no sense. Then show them primates, the grasping hands and similar skulls. Next show them how apes are different from monkeys and every other mammal - the rotating shoulder, supraorbital closure, lack of a tail, etc. Now show them human anatomy - how we share the basic simian body plan but our hips are wider and feet more rigid for upright walking. Show them the transitional forms: Australopithecus, H. ramidus, H. habilis, etc. At this point you barely need to say anything. The conclusion will smack them in the face like a cold wet fish.
It worked wonders for me. I went into my physical anthropology class a denier and came out a firm believer.

Laurence Cendrowicz/ITV Studios for MASTERPIECE
And the miniseries, which premieres Sunday at 9 p.m. on Channel 2, contains a number of irresistible secondary characters — none, perhaps, as indelible as the Dowager Countess played by Maggie Smith on "Downton Abbey," but that would be an impossible standard. There is Ellen Love, a showgirl who becomes the face of Selfridge's store. Played by Zoë Tapper, she is a very watchable blend of ambition and two-bit glamour. And there is Lady Mae Loxley, played with calm ferocity by Katherine Kelly, who plays people like puppets. She holds the key to the hero's success, and she holds it tightly.

By Eric Boehm | PA Independent
HARRISBURG – Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson has upheld Pennsylvania's new voter ID law.
Simpson, in the opinion released Wednesday morning, says he was convinced the state would fully comply with the law and that plaintiffs in the case did not meet the requirements to obtain the injunction they sought. (Full decision here)
During nearly two weeks of hearings on the controversial law, plaintiffs argued it was passed without adequate time for all Pennsylvanians to comply with its requirements before the November elections. They also argued the law was passed to give a partisan advantage to Republican candidates because groups more likely to vote Democratic – including minorities, women, students and the elderly – were less likely to have official state identification.
Simpson wrote that plaintiffs "did an excellent job of 'putting a face' to those burdened by the new requirement," but he could not decide the case purely on sympathy for the witnesses.
When the law passed earlier this year, Republican lawmakers and Gov. Tom Corbett argued it was necessary to prevent voter fraud and ensure that all votes were counted equally. But lawyers for the state admitted in court filings that no instances of voter fraud — that would be curbed by the new law — could be identified.
Instead, they primarily argued the Legislature had the right to set new requirements for voting.
The case is expected to be appealed to the state Supreme Court.
That court is split evenly — three Republicans and three Democrats — while one seat on the bench is vacant and will not be filled before the court would hear appeals in the voter ID case.
Four votes would be necessary to overturn the lower court ruling, meaning one Republican would likely have to vote against the Republican-drafted law to kill it.
Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa, D-Allegheny, an outspoken critic of the law, issued a statement Wednesday morning calling Simpson's decision "highly disturbing and disconcerting."
Rob Gleason, chairman of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania, said he was pleased the court recognized the law for what it was — "commonsense reform to ensure that every voter and every vote is protected."

Lisa Brooking, Winner of 2012 Lead Small Business Person of the Year!
Two of the three LEADS Champion Awards went to local businesspeople. Le Anne Kruer Scott, senior vice president at of Your Community Bank in Jeffersonville, topped the bill as the Financial Services Champion of the Year for her volunteer work on three revolving-loan funds. Two of those funds are through the City of Jeffersonville, while the third is the Horseshoe Revolving Loan Fund. Kruer Scott spoke about her passion for helping Southern Indiana thrive in new business in a video shown during the awards banquet.
"I love people, and more than that I love connecting people," Kruer Scott said. "That's why I get up every morning."
Kimberly Martin-Dawkins took home the Women in Business Champion of the Year award. Martin-Dawkins is the vice president and branch manager of the State Street PNC Bank branch, and volunteers with Business and Professional Women of New Albany and the DICE Conference, which serves female, minority and veteran entrepreneurs.
"As a banker, and also with my affiliation with the Diversity Conference, really, after we build that relationship, it's really their baby and mine too," Martin-Dawkins said.
Additionally, three of the six LEADS business awards went to area businesses. Schimpff's Confectionery of Jeffersonville was chosen as the Family-Owned Business of the Year.
"Each generation has changed the business somewhat, so our legacy, I guess, is the demonstration area," Jill Schimpff said. "We'd always dreamed of having people see, watch us make candy, and now that's possible."
The Indiana University Southeast Entrepreneurial Success Award was awarded to L&D Mail Masters, owned by Diane Fischer of New Albany. Fischer started the company in her garage, and today it's a major independent employer.
"I started with a table and a telephone, and woke up that morning thinking, 'What am I going to do?'" Fischer said. "I was a little frightened, I have to say, but honestly there was a lot of excitement at that point on what I was going to do with my life."
Lisa Brooking of True Colors Tanning earned the Small Business Person of the Year Award, which received the most nominations of any awards category at LEADS. Brooking is involved with Southern Indiana Goodwill, Silver Creek Little League and the Horseshoe Revolving Loan Fund.
"I think my passion for people and my passion for customer service has really been the biggest success for us, because small businesses, we're local people," Brooking said. "We have a large competitor chain in this market. They're good people with a great operation, but they're not down here talking to small businesses or counseling small businesses or sitting on boards, doing those things. We're feeding our time back into the community that built us."
The award recipients weren't the only local businesspeople honored at the banquet. Techshot CEO and President Mark Deuser delivered the keynote speech at the luncheon, discussing his company's ups and downs over its 25-plus-year history. Based in Floyds Knobs, Techshot is a key contractor to NASA, the military and several commercial customers.
Deuser spoke about the importance of passion, planning, perserverance, persistence and personnel in entrepreneurship, and highlighted the importance of each as he discussed the highs and lows of his company's past.
"It's like the adrenaline rush you get riding a rollercoaster," Deuser said when describing entrepreneurship.

Category: Feminist Music Geeks Debate Whether to Wear Chucks or Heels
Jessica Simpson, certified copy
Like Frank Sinatra, Cat Power, and a number of beauty pageant contestants before and after her, Jessica Simpson is a covers artist.
In the states, Simpson has seven gold singles to her name since cresting on a blonde wave of virginal jailbait late last century. Three of those hits are from that era, one of them is her post-divorce anthem, and three of them were released during the height of Newlyweds' popularity. Two of the three songs in the final category are covers, in addition to a few more that didn't chart. I'd cast a more critical eye toward two of her singles sampling pop standards–"I Think That I'm In Love With You" borrows the hook to John Cougar's "Jack and Diane," "A Public Affair" is built around Madonna's "Holiday" and Marvin Gaye's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"–but hip hop has so revolutionized pop music that it seems unfair to call Simpson out for something Rihanna has done too. Though "SOS" and "Please Don't Stop the Music" are masterful pop songs, in part because of how inventively they repurpose Soft Cell's cover of "Tainted Love" and Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin". Simpson's hits rely upon our familiarity with the sample–a Diddy hat trick–but never transcend the source material.
Upon her entree into pop stardom, Simpson was cast as a paler shade of Britney. Spears was the pop star, Christina Aguilera was the diva, Mandy Moore was the first one to go brunette, and Jessica was the one who actually obeyed the record label's directive and married someone in a boy band. It's terrifying how much these roles mean to us.
The callous dismissal of Simpson's musical talent stung in part because she was almost cast opposite Spears and Christina Aguilera in the early 90s reboot of The Mickey Mouse Club. The legend is that Simpson was intimidated by the prospect of following up Aguilera in a singing audition and choked. I also think marketing four blonde teenage pop stars to the TRL crowd further suggests the music industry's arrogance and disregard for people. "Maybe the Britneybot's synapses will misfire after we ply it with diet pills. Good to have a backup." Packaging young women as disposable commodities is sexist, even before we factor in their uniform physical attributes. But their male counterparts didn't fare much better. Being cast as an archetype (the bad boy! the funny one!) in one of many interchangeable vocal groups is pretty dehumanizing too. Ask Du Jour.
The cultural rationalization that Simpson is good enough has hurt her career irrevocably, perhaps because she was trying so hard to live up to some ideal that, like Judith Butler and Kartina Richardson suggest, is a copy of an original that doesn't exist. It was the cancer that infected her relationship with John Mayer too (actually, John Mayer is the cancer that infects all of his relationships). It impacted her voice, which lacked any distinct character. It functioned instead as an index of shouty melismas, breathy coos, and feigned erotic sighs that became hallmarks of contemporary pop vocal performance. Simpson didn't sound like anyone in particular except maybe that girl you knew in high school who sang Mariah Carey's "Hero" at the talent show. But I never remembered her voice or how I felt when I heard her sing so much as recognized when the moment had passed. Often, her voice sounded like the pop equivalent of a fake orgasm.
So it's interesting to me that where her career actually took off was in retail, which is all about recycling and mass reproduction. The prospect of dressing like (or smelling like) Jessica Simpson holds little appeal to me. With rare exception, celebrity personal style is a myth. She's famous, which means she has an army of stylists. Of course, part of my response is based on is cast as Simpson's inspiration. Her look is pure Farrah and–like Rachel Bilson–I'm a Jacqueline Smith kind of girl. But she's made a fortune getting multiple generations of women–my mother, your college roommate–to buy her pumps. And she really seems to like her own clothes, to the point where she parlayed her success in retail into a gig judging Fashion Star. She also seems to like the body wearing them. So I'm interested in how, following that time she wore unflattering jeans for a concert and everyone decided she was fat, Simpson has embraced a new shape. She didn't give up sugar. She didn't crash diet. She didn't will herself into her seventeen- or twenty-five-year old body.
Simpson also gave birth to her daughter last month. I don't intend to scrutinize her post-pregnancy body, as no one should have the right to sanction what kinds of bodies are permissible and aberrant in a society. I also don't intend for this post to blindly celebrate Simpson's curvier figure or–by omission–throw shade at female celebrities who've slimmed down. Simpson's not radical. She's a rich celebrity who shifted an unremarkable singing career into an opportunity to put her name on some handbags. But she seems happy and I hope she's content and can figure out how to help her daughter acquire peace of mind (Will and Jada have some pointers). If in fact we're all copies of some ideal we can only perceive and never reach, we may as well enjoy who we are and who we'll become.
Using my hair to write a love letter to Jana Hunter
Recently, I cut off all my hair again. Mainly, I cut it as a queer fan gesture. It takes after a mentor's decision to buy an army jacket after John Bender ignited her libido during a screening of The Breakfast Club. She wanted to become him as much as be with him. I can relate.
I was taken with Jana Hunter's stage presence during the Lower Dens show I caught at SXSW. She insinuated herself into the proceedings–the outdoor venue, the all-male backing band, the armada of cool hunters–with unassuming grace. I'd imagine being that skilled as a guitar player means you don't have to show off. My hunch is that her haircut gave her some confidence too. Her light brown hair was shaved short on the sides and tousled at the crown, with bangs draping over the right side of her forehead. This was something of a pleasant surprise, as many of the photos I'd seen of her featured her with longer hair, sometimes dyed blonde. She totally turned me on. What especially caught my attention was how much she isn't a normative female front woman. She is a leader and featured musician in her band. But she isn't especially performative onstage which, coupled with her sunglasses and cavernous voice, leant mystery. She is androgynous, self-possessed, and seemingly in ownership of a secret. Hot.
It helps that Twin Hand Movement was one of the sexiest records of last year. This is high praise, as I tend to shy away from rock when in search of mood music. Before and after My Bloody Valentine, a lot of rock bands use walls of guitar distortion and slippery boy-girl harmonies as shorthand for fucking, which is fine. I'm not denying that "Moon" and "Soft As Snow (But Warm Inside)" don't make me want to get someone pregnant. But what sets Movement apart is how it evokes the panoramic scope of long-distance driving. Lower Dens create music vast enough for the listener to get lost in various kinds of contemplation. It is both the road and the randy car ride.
So the assured woman with the dexterous fingers and the close crop is responsible for music that makes me feel this way? Oof. Get out the electric razor.
I should mention that though I like playing with clothes and signifiers, I don't invest much in a beauty regimen. I respect that there is a developing industry for organic and/or vegan beauty products and am glad other friends are helping it along. I just have no interest in buying into it. I don't like playing with my hair. So any haircut of mine has to work without a blow dryer, gel, or hairspray. I hate applying cosmetics to my face and feeling them on my skin in equal measure, which means that No Makeup Day carried on for me like any other. This probably informs how I organize my wardrobe, which is largely assembled from friends' hand-me-downs, thrifted items, and pieces I've had since high school. The less waste I'm responsible for, the happier I am.
I'll refrain from turning this post into that essay on space I had to write for a graduate theory course (no citations from that wife strangler Althusser). However, I'll note that I got my $25 cut at the Bird's by my house and that the mix playing during my appointment coincided too damn neatly with my intent and hipster positioning. Playing Ladytron is one thing. The Blow's "How Naked Are We Going to Get" elicits a raised eyebrow. But "Beautiful Boyz"–CocoRosie's duet with Antony about Jean Genet and other "critical queers"–came on, I briefly wondered if the universe knew I was writing a blog post about cutting my hair to express queer feelings about Jana Hunter. The physical proximity to my hairdresser as she was shaving the back of my head created a delightful frisson as well. But since she is a professional, I will keep that reverie to myself.
I cut my hair for a few more reasons. Chief among them was that I wanted to use my hair to reassert my own queer identity. Assuredly, short hair doesn't make women queer. You can get all Veronica Lake with it and still be queer. But short hair creates visibility. At the very least, it might function as something akin to the "safe space" sticker I'll have on my office door when I'm a professor. However I can make plain that I'm an ally and fight against homophobia and transphobia, I will. Furthermore, even though I've been in a relationship with a man for several years, I don't identify as straight. Suede's Brett Anderson once identified himself as a bisexual man who has yet to have a homosexual experience. I lean slightly to the left of that crude definition. Yet I also have trouble using the term "partner." It seems like an appropriation, however well-intended.
My haircut also upends gendered expectations. Short haired women still bother some people, particularly because long hair is a symbol of conventional white femininity. I learned this when I shaved my head back in 2006. Co-workers behaved quite differently around me after I did it. Following the introductory double takes and furtive glances, there was a formality and rigidity demonstrated by some male peers that hadn't been there before. It's clear that I was no longer attractive to some men because of the cut. Some people explicitly bemoaned the loss of my chin-length hair. Others asked if I meant to do it, perhaps wondering if a mischievous wad of gum was the reason I only had half an inch of hair covering my pate. Most people asked if my partner liked it, as if that mattered.
I wanted to reassert this queer identity in the wake of some major changes that await me, as well as some upcoming "girly" events. Skirt-a-Thon begins today. It's a yearly event headed up by Kristen at Dear Black Woman,. I always participate, in part because the rule about not repeating skirts and dresses during the work week cuts down on my laundry. This year, I wanted to challenge the femme-y nature of the proceedings with a spiked, shaved 'do.
Furthermore, I am attending four weddings this year. I have as little interest in cashing in on heterosexual privilege as I do for throwing a party to celebrate my relationship. Marriage excludes queer brothers and sisters. The systems that organize American health care and insurance unfairly reward married couples and nuclear families. Weddings can prompt rampant, immoral consumerism. Mainstream feminism's attempts to reclaim marriage seem to speak more to the movement's embedded class and/or racial privilege than in any vested interest in dismantling the patriarchy. But while I get hella judge-y about marriage, I'm fine with supporting friends who choose to enter into it. However, this means I won't sport wedding-ready ringlets. It may mean I'll need to invest in a suit. Faye Dunaway may personify the evils of liberal feminism in Network, but dammit if don't want every pantsuit in her closet.
So, yes. I cut my hair as much for Jana Hunter as for myself. Some may scoff at my belief that this is a political act, which is fine. However, if you're looking for a critical queer willing to rally and organize on behalf of LGBTQI rights, I hope the haircut is a tip-off that I'm a receptive audience.
Christina Hendricks, video star
I'm rooting for Christina Hendricks. Mad Men fans know her as Joan Harris Holloway, the office manager at Sterling Cooper Draper Price whose lethal curves distract some dummies–including her noxious husband–from recognizing that she steers the ship. Hendricks is great at mining all the ambivalence of a woman who hasn't quite updated her notions of female power for the times she's living in and attempting to negotiate who she is with how she's perceived.
Like many fellow cast members, including star Jon Hamm, Hendricks has yet to really break out past the show's phenomenon. She has the additional obstacle of her curvy body. Though it fits within the context of the show in ways that January Jones' yoga-toned physique does not, it is vexing to many people who can't fathom a female celebrity who is neither skinny nor fat. She is simultaneously praised for bringing back a plus-size figure she doesn't have and relegated to hackneyed iterations of old-style Hollywood costuming because many designers can't wrap their heads around clothing any woman who isn't a size 2.
While most magazines can't conceptualize a pictorial with female subjects that don't involve an open mouth and a heaving bosom, hers channel the pin-up in ways that highlight the "retro" in retrograde.
This is a particularly confusing development, as Hendricks' character–under the care of costume designer Janie Bryant–is one of the sartorial tastemakers on a show responsible for retailers like Banana Republic to revisit the 1960s. However, as Julia Turner observed in Slate's TV Club coverage, Betty Draper and Peggy Olsen evolve their wardrobes over the course of the series while Holloway has yet to update hers. As much as Holloway has perfected a flattering style on an office manager's budget, I also think this speaks to a lack of stylistic options for curvy women. Mad Men is currently in the middle of 1965. In two years, Twiggy's stick-thin body will be in vogue and Marilyn's figure will be archaic. Thirtysomething Holloway won't be able to wear the minidresses the model helped popularize. I hope she seeks her revenge in the 70s by claiming the wrap dress as her own.
I actually prefer the actress in simpler attire that doesn't feel the need to announce her hour-glass silhouette. A former goth kid and self-professed jeans-and-a-t-shirt girl, she looks wonderful in clothes that don't strap her in or relegate her to a bygone era. As a woman whose garments need to be machine washable, I like it when ladies can breathe and eat and spill food in whatever they're wearing.
So I find it interesting that Hendricks has been in a few music videos that didn't play up her figure. Such treatment of female subjects is anomalous within a medium that relishes in objectification, much less when the clip features an atomic redhead built like a brick house.

Lady Kier revival, please?
If the 90s will be what this decade of popular music revisits, then isn't it time we pay our respects to Lady Kier and Deee-Lite? They were more than one-hit wonders, ya'll.
Lady Kier has long been an idol of mine, starting at around the age of 10 when I bought Dewdrops in the Garden on cassette and incorporated it into my bedroom dance party rotation. And judging by my appreciation of all but the last ten minutes of Party Girl, you can imagine how I feel about Nylon's recent celebration of the movie's celebration of 90s New York dance culture and Lady Kier's influence on its fashion. Prada even anticipated a revival of sorts in its spring 2008 collection when the house featured platforms very reminiscent of John Fluevog, one of Lady Kier's favorite shoemakers. And as I mentioned earlier, Married to the Mob paid tribute to the diva with this t-shirt.
Now, people in the know are probably thinking "Revival? But Lady Kier never left us." Which is true. After Deee-Lite broke up in 1996, Kier struck out on her own as an internationally renowned deejay. Her mixes were a cram session staple of mine in college.
Kier also courted legal controversy in 2006 by claiming that Sega plagiarized her likeness for a video game character. She lost the case, but Ulala in Space Channel 5 certainly looks familiar.
She's also been very much alive in the hearts of the LGBT community, playing various events and aligning herself as an ally. I'm not sure if Kier is aware of sissy bounce, but in my dreams she links up with Big Freedia or Katey Red.
This is very much in keeping with the group's public support of LGBT rights, safe sex, and AIDS awareness, along with other interests like protecting the environment, racial equality, reproductive choice, and ending animal cruelty.
Thus I think that if Deee-Lite are due for a revival, hopefully we can revisit Infinity Within, the group's sophomore release that was maligned at the time for being too "political." Long before I heard Au Pairs and Gang of Four, Deee-Lite (along with The Pet Shop Boys) were one of the first acts that let me know you can dance and be conscious at the same time. This is to say nothing of the fact that I found out about Bootsy Collins — and by extension P-Funk — because of them.
In short, let's break out the platforms. Perhaps I'll pay tribute this Halloween by pairing them with a catsuit.
What a doll!: Playtime with Lady Gaga
Just wanted to make sure you all heard about the unofficial Lady Gaga dolls created by Veik11, which I saw one friend post on another friend's Facebook page earlier this morning. If not, Perez Hilton is excited about them. As with all things Gaga, I'm ambivalent. While my overall opinion isn't too different from how I felt about Mattel's Ladies of the '80s collection, I have a few notes particular to Gaga in doll form. Pros and cons time.
1. I like the DIY spirit of Veik11's dolls and his approach to fandom. Better a Bratz or Barbie doll be turned into Gaga by the owner than stay a Bratz or Barbie doll. I can only hope girls and boys were this creative in turning their gifts into artistic projects.
2. Likewise, better she be outfitted in crazy, homemade versions of Gaga couture than the store-bought glittery pink duds she tends to wear in the box.
3. I like the idea that any doll can be turned into Gaga, regardless of color. In fact, having a black or Latina Gaga might ease some of the blonde white lady racial tension she inherited from Madonna.
1. Even better if a Ken doll be turned into Gaga, don't you think? I do.
2. Let's ugly Gaga up a bit more, shall we? Cover her in more blood, dye some of her hair black or purple, and give her a longer nose. In short, make her more grotesque. In doing so, owners might be honoring their burgeoning feminist idol while at the same time challenging the normative constructs of both the doll and the girl in her.
3. Give her a band or something. Maybe bring in a stuffed animal to play kazoo. Maybe have a Groovy Girl on the drums. Let's just make sure that the diva doesn't have to stand alone.
4. Barbie doesn't have to be Gaga. She can be whatever the owner wants her to be, whether it's a sleeping companion, a boy, a drag queen, the first female President of the United States, an audience for his or her unseen short film, or a discarded figure on the floor.

Electric tank water heater?
Hi. I am back and forth about purchasing either the Rheem Marathon or your run-of-the-mill steel tank electric hot water heater. I have read that the Marathon series is no more efficient than a standard tank (EF factor), however, has the advantage of not rusting out. So what's the advantage of all that foam on the Marathon? It costs 2/3+ more and its tank is made out of polybutylene which is a bit worrisome. Any recommendations on kind, as well as sizing (2 adults, 2 kids; are fairly water conservation minded); I'm thinking an 50-75 gallon would work? With all that said, should I consider tankless?
Thanks in advance. Matt

Better and bigger vs not better and not bigger. You answered your own questions.
Steel lowest cost.
Stainless steel highest cost.
Heat pump another option.
Marathon another option. Don't like plastic, easy, drop from choices.
Steel tanks, may last longer if anode is replaced periodically.
Small tanks limit water use which lowers utility costs. Big tanks are a luxury many desire and pay more for.
It's pretty simple. Decide what you value.
Posted Sat, 04/26/2014 - 14:01
Marathon has (had?) a lifetime warranty to the original owner, and while the tank won't rust out I have heard of leaks. I would rarely recommend one. You should be good with a 50-gallon tank. If you live in a hot climate a heat pump water heater might perform well. Check the rebates and incentives--for a while they were net cheaper here than standard units.
Posted Sat, 04/26/2014 - 16:14
You are correct that the Marathon is no more efficient than other brands. All electric-resistance water heaters are 100% efficient at heating water; the only difference is the thickness and quality of the insulation. (Marathon insulation is good.)
The main disadvantage of tankless electric heaters is that they require 200-amp electrical service and expensive wiring costs. Talk to an electrician before installing one or more of these heaters.

Venezuelan proverbs: Uncertainty
There are moments in our existence when we find ourselves hopelessly at a crossroad. In these moments common sense or any kind of clairvoyance is useless to know what will happen. Moments that fill with uncertainty because we don't often have the power to influence on the development of different situations, and on occasions one way or another depend on the good or bad will of third parties. However, we can find comfort by saying: "The sun will rise and we'll see, said the blind man".

Venezuelan proverbs: dealing with the contempt from those who don't know you
This Venezuela proverb came to mind many months ago, while we were living in a far and inhospitable country of the far south of Latin America and it was time to write it down here.
In my homeland, we use to say this proverb, "no one can say you didn't dance" when we have to deal with other people underestimating us or showing us contempt, usually at a professional level. These negative attitudes toward us may be motivated because they don't know anything about us (nor they want to), because of jealousy, selfpreservation instinct or even envy of our features. What "you danced" refers to all experiences and knowledge that we have gathered along the way, no matter if they are empirical or formal. For example, if anyone underestimates our expertice (which we have) at the moment of applying for a job and the result is that we are discarded for a mere whim instead of an objective assessment, we should not despair, because we know that we know, we know that we are capable and we can prove it, because no one can say you didn't dance!
Original: "Nadie te quita lo bailao"
English equivalent: "No one can say you didn't dance"

Venezuelan Proverbs: for someone pointing out a defect you both have
This Venezuelan proverb, one of my absolute favorites, is for those cases when someone is pointing out a defect you both have, or he/she is telling you something they have no business or moral authority for saying it. It is a wonder that an equivalent to this proverb do exist in English, so I will put the original in Spanish (involving two animals with shells), its translation, and the English language equivalent.
Original: "Cachicamo diciéndole a morrocoy conchúo"
Translation: "The armadillo calling the red-footed tortoise shelled"
English equivalence: "The pot calling the kettle black"
Libraries & Information in Media: The Daily Planet (as in Superman: Earth One)
Superman: Earth One (2010) represents a re-imagination of Superman's origin story. Written by the author of Babylon 5, J. Michael Straczynski, it is set in the time when Kal-El leaves Smallville to go to Metropolis. I find some elements of his take more believable (yes, I know the idea of a Superman is not so believable). For example, when Kal-El's ship crashes, the Kents of course find it, but there is a shady organization looking for the object that crashed, which they retrieve and keep looking for its occupant. This graphic novel has some of the qualities I expected from Straczynski, as with Babylon 5, he delivers an engaging, interconnected and entertaining story. Although I expected more. Perhaps Superman fans would enjoy it more than I did, as I'm a Batman guy. But enough background. In order for this to fit in this section of the blog, I wanted to point out some things related to libraries and information present on this piece of media, in this case: its portrayal of some issues around the Daily Planet (Metropolis' newspaper), which is journalism. Ah, journalism.
It's funny to note that although Perry White (editor of the Daily Planet) advices Lois Lane to "write about what you are writing about, not about you writing about what you are writing about", what we see in her enclosed pages of the Daily Planet is the latter. I think this was either a bit silly, or very faithful to her character, as she often gets away with being a smart-ass. Lois displays some soul on her writing, but White also advices to use soul on news writing, so I don't find this very congruent within all his recommendations. Because, is it 'writing about you writing about what you are writing about', putting some soul into your writing? (See the last part of this post, where I write about this issue further).
Jimmy Olsen seems to be taking at least 12 megapixel pictures, hence, 'chocking the server with the files'. Shouldn't a newspaper have a better server? If the server chocks with a picture, what would happen with regular, worldwide traffic? Perhaps a 20 Mb picture is not good for a printed black and white newspaper, but we see in the enclosed Daily Planet pages that you 'may find more about on dailyplanet.com'. It would have been very clever for White to point out that these pictures are good for the website version of the paper, but advice him to crop them for the print version, put them on a grayscale, or something. This might be extreme librarian nitpicking, but 'the devil's on the details'.
Now the most serious stuff, and I must cite White more extensively as he states "Thanks to the Internet, every yahoo with a keyboard thinks that just because he can type, he can write, as for you [referring to Clark] look, I read your articles, and they are fine, but nothing special. A good writer writes from his soul. You write like you're holding something back." I find his two statements about Internet journalism and writing from his soul, not too congruent between them. Furthermore, they are not congruent with the guidelines given to Ms. Lane. Firstly, his position towards Internet journalism is very understandable, coming from an editor for a 'Big and Old Media' device. Although showing perhaps too much contempt for an alternative journalism that is becoming more and more valid everyday, this adds to his character. But it's a worn out and expected discourse from an old business model perspective. We see traditional media, or as I like to call 'Big and Old Media (BOOM)' as failing to inform, to entertain, and let alone: educate. Fox News anyone? We see a highly sensationalist BOOM, one that miserably copies models from new media in order to keep being pertinent (SMS, social media integration or attempts to do so). And we see BOOM giving wrong publicity through their misguided scandals regarding videogames (for example the case of Rapelay, or P2P technology). These scandals create the wrong effect, instead of raising conscience or awareness towards and issue, they promote it through scandal and sensationalism. Thus turning low profile and extinct topics into high profile, blown out of proportion problems. So, perhaps BOOM exhibits too much soul, or no soul at all by doing these things. Apart from this, BOOM is against soul, against personal perspectives, or it displays too much of it, it's not a consistent criteria, being in news or scholarly/scientific communications. New media on the other side, has a personal commitment and often a disregard for corporate or financial interest within its content. Moreover, it has crowds approving or disapproving, and adding value to the information. Is this not better? Who knows…
On Pinterest: What I love & Featured Content in the Blog
I have been taking some time to sign up and try things in Pinterest, you should take it out! It's a social network based on the posting of images, some are saying that it could drive visits to your blog. So I am trying to do two things with this tool.
1. Post images from the featured sections of the blog, to see if I can get a bit more visits, the sections are: Micro Reviews (yes, they'll be back!), Internet Classics, Libraries & Information in Media, and Venezuelan Proverbs.
2. I believe that you are what you enjoy and love, so I started posting about the anime, movies, albums, and books that I love, check it out! Do you find your favorites?
Internet Classics: do the Zelda
On this edition of Internet Classics, I take the post from Kotaku about this hilarious song about The Legend of Zelda. As a curiosity, many people think this song was written by System of a Down, because of the similar voice of the singer, and even because many of you naughty boys and girls who have this song can see that it was tagged as written and performed by this group. Instead, this song was written and performed by one Joe Pleiman for the album Rabbit Joint.
For a bit more of history behind it, I copy part of the post in Kotaku:
"So how'd this modern internet fallacy come to be? Over ten years ago, the song was uploaded to Napster, in the wild days before the service was shut down and went straight. And it was uploaded simply as "SOAD – The Legend of Zelda", or "SOAD – Zelda". Given this was the early 2000's, many people assumed this meant it was performed by System of a Down, particularly given the similarities between Pleiman's vocals and those of System's Serj Tankian.
The track, which is damn catchy, thus snowballed, and for millions of people System of a Down were given credit for a song they had no part in. Poor Joe. At least he can see the funny side of it, writing on his own website that the 1998 album featured 'the song Zelda as unintentionally made famous by System of a Down'".
Venezuelan Proverbs: for fame and appreciation by others
Now this is microblogging. Though it might be a neat idea to share Venezuela proverbs and sayings with an English attempt at translating by me.
This month's Venezuelan proverb, related to fame and the appreciation of you others might have. There might be nothing wrong with you but: "You are not a gold coin [to be liked by everyone]" = "No eres monedita de oro [para gustarle a todos]"…
Internet Classics: Super Timor
Another new section on the blog! This is Internet Classics, where I remember, take a look and comment about online content that for one reason or another I consider a classic of the Internet. On this first edition I am cheating a bit, as this classic was not created for the Internet. However, I first saw this hilarious advertisement around 2005-2006 in this little and new site called Youtube, this is why it is noteworthy for me as an Internet classic. It was the first LOL and ROTFL I had with Youtube, and it is one of the extremely few TV ads I can stand, and actually I don't get tired of watching it. From the little information I could find on the commercial itself, I can say that it was transmitted on Ivory Coast around 1986. However, the style seems older than such date, perhaps 10 years earlier (hear the song, sounds more 70s than 80s). It's also supposed to be very popular in France, and it has also been remixed. I give you the advertisement for Super Timor, an Internet classic!

Editorial: Charging For Beach Access A Bad Idea
- Details
- Published on Friday, 15 June 2012 20:57
- Written by Super User
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
The Revolution Festival was discussed at length at the June 12, Carolina Beach Town Council meeting. (See report on page 1-A for details.)
One recommendation to better control this festival was to switch from "free" admission to charging a fee of around $10 per person. The festival takes place in Freeman Park on the very northern end of Pleasure Island near the Carolina Beach Inlet.
Dealing strictly with the issue of public beach access, there maybe some issues that arise from charging a fee.
Freeman Park is largely outside of the Town's jurisdiction. They have authority to manage the area as a park. That was granted to them by the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners some years ago.
There is a fee charged for vehicle access to enter the park. The Town, by it's own admission, doesn't charge people to walk into the park. They can only charge for four-wheel drive vehicle access.
Therefore, how can anyone charge for people to walk into a specific area of that public-trust beach simply under the guise of charging for access to a festival?
Unless state law gives a Town or County permission to carry out such a scenario, they have no authority to tell someone they can't be on any particular section of the public-trust beach. Unless of course it's a public safety situation such as a crime scene or other hazard.
The term "public-trust" is an ancient term under common law currently observed by the State that says anyone has a right to access our beaches and the dry sand area from the dunes to the water cannot be deemed private and off limits.
Currently the Town operates under the impression they have authority to charge for vehicle access to the beach within Freeman Park. Although there is no law granting them that specific authority, they claim an existing law granting Town's the ability to regulate, restrict and prohibit vehicles on the dunes and the beach also gives them the latitude to charge for vehicle access. However, that state law does not include language pertaining to charging a fee.
However, the Town has in the past claimed they have authority due to "broad construction" of the law. Meaning that while it doesn't specifically grant that authority, it's implied as a means to carry out that authority.
The event in question has grown from just under a 1,000 in previous years to around 3,000 this year and there's another one set for later this summer.
As mentioned in the article on page 1-A, it's for charity but perhaps it's time to relocate it to a more suitable location than the already densely populated tourism destination known as Freeman Park.

After 2 years of running Sak Pase Diplomacy, I am moving on to my next diplomatic assignment: Islamabad, Pakistan. I may or may not create another blog while there. Nonetheless, I would like THIS blog to stay VERY active. It has evolved from merely a platform to present my insights on Haiti to a strong venue to discuss the complexity, richness, and potential of Haiti. That being said, I NEED WRITERS.
Why Write for Sak Pase Diplomacy?
Sak Pase Diplomacy has grown over the past 2 years to reach a wide audience through a vast network of social media connections. Writing for the blog provides access to that network and assurance that your article is read in Haiti and throughout the United States. The blog is followed by journalists, diplomats, community activists, professors, members of the UN, and a host of other communities.
Being a writer for Sak Pase Diplomacy is an opportunity to present a side of Haiti that is often overlooked and, quite simply, needs more exposure.
What Can I Write About?
We need writers residing in Haiti to write on the following topics:
– Social and cultural perspectives on Haiti
– Business developments (including tourism, investment, trade, etc)
– Politics (elections, democracy, human rights, etc)
– Restaurant reviews
We also need writers (either living in Haiti or abroad) to write about diaspora perspectives.
Do I need to live in Haiti to write for Sak Pase Diplomacy?
We're looking mainly for writers living in Haiti, whether expat or Haitian (no discrimination, we want all!). We ALSO and EQUALLY need one or two members of the Haitian diaspora to write from abroad and include their perspectives in the blog.
Does writing for Sak Pase Diplomacy pay?
I've operated the site for 2 years in my free time and have grown to love every minute of it. This has been a welcome extension of my professional responsibilities. In a nutshell, no, it does not pay. Writing for Sak Pase Diplomacy is something you do if you believe in Haiti and want to give it more positive exposure, not if you need a paycheck.
What kind of articles are you looking for?
My favorite articles on the site thus far are listed below. While not a comprehensive list, these are the sorts of insights I would love to see more of on the blog:
Defying Expectations: Angelot's Photography
Why Haiti Needs a Victoria's Secret
Four Non-Expat Ways to Enjoy Haiti
How do I apply?
Simply send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with "Sak Pase Diplomacy" in the title. Include your resume/CV, why you would like to write for the blog, and a short writing sample (it can be an entry for another blog or even some idle musings).

Minnesota contemplating offer to Afflalo.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, despite possessing no cap space to bid for the 26-year-old swingman, will continue to press the Nuggets to see if they're amenable to sign-and-trade discussions. Sources say New Jersey and Minnesota, meanwhile, are among the teams with salary-cap space weighing whether to extend an offer sheet after free agency officially starts Dec. 9 that the Nuggets will have three days to match to keep Afflalo.

|The top 10 percent of earners took more than half of the country's total income in 2012, the highest level recorded since the government began collecting the relevant data a century ago, according to an updated study by the prominent economists Emmanuel Saez and Thomas Piketty. The top 1 percent took more than one-fifth of the income earned by Americans, one of the highest levels on record since 1913, when the government instituted an income tax. The figures underscore that even after the recession the country remains in a new Gilded Age, with income as concentrated as it was in the years that preceded the Depression of the 1930s, if not more so.

We all know how important defense is in baseball. You can lose winnable games as we just saw, if the defense is shaky. This can especially hurt when the offense isnt giving you any breathing room as is. We all know about the defensive woes thus far. Almost everyone has contributed their fare share of errors. To date, the Buccos are averaging 0.88 errors per game and are 27th in the league. Last year they ended the season at 0.78.
My question is as follows: How much improvement can we expect here? Between (gaining from) experience, techniques, and the players' skills, what can we expect out of this team by the end of the year? Is there a certain ranking these guys should be at regardless of who the coaches are (just based on talent alone)? Have the past coaching staffs hurt the guys or do they just stink?
While the main focus should be on pitching and hitting, there has to be a major improvement in the defense as well. in the bottom 15 teams of the league, only 2 teams have a winning record (a bunch are at or near .500). Whereas the in the top 15 teams, you only have 4 teams that are under .500.
You can lose a lot of winnable games with a dumb play or two that extends an innning and gives the other team freebies. you can check out the stats at http://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stats/?stat=errors-per-game

Best Bail-Out Tracking Devices8/26/2009 by Gilda Haas - No comments
The most comprehensive, comprehensible, and up-to-date resource about where bail-out money is going, to whom, and for what purpose is the ProPublica site — tagline: journalism in the public interest.
In their own words, here is what you can find on their site:
- complete list of where the money's going, from AIG to the smallest community bank
- map that charts all the bailed-out companies
- timeline of major bailout events
- running total of how much of the TARP bailout money has been committed
- graphical breakdowns and plain language descriptions of the Treasury Department's bailout programs without confusing government acronyms
- list of the banks that have returned the bailout money
- snapshot of how mortgage servicers are performing in the foreclosure prevention program
ProPublica also tracks Stimulus program dollars in useful ways ranging from how quickly agencies are spending money, to stimulus projects near you, down to the per capita sending in your county — plus a lot more.
ProPublica is an independent newsroom, dedicated to investigative journalism, led by Paul Steiger, the former managing editor of The Wall Street Journal. Stephen Engelberg, a former managing editor of The Oregonian, Portland, Oregon and former investigative editor of The New York Times, is ProPublica's managing editor.
Launched in January 2009, by the Pew Charitable Trusts in conjunction with the Sunlight Foundation, Subsidyscope's exists to make government subsidies transparent to the rest of us. They started with the financial sector, featuring subsidy maps (my favorite here), blog posts, downloadable data sets, key public documents, and more.
Subsidyscope's game plan is to gradually apply the same transparency treatment to other parts of the economy including transportation (coming next), energy, and housing.
Pay to Play?
For those of you who want to know "how the *#@&^% did that happen?," two other sites, Open Secrets and MAPLight, look at the relationship between subsidies to lawmakers (otherwise known as campaign contributions) , bailout and recovery laws that were voted in, and which industries benefited from those laws.
Check them out. And if your favorite sites aren't listed here, let us know.
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

I have always liked Simmons, but this may have cemented him into greatness in my mind. The video that he links to in the article which I will attempt to post below is so right on I am amazed by his memory for such things. I of course back when I was younger was a huge fan of WWF. It's almost like LeBron saw this on a late night binge with his buddies and decided this could be the most amazing thing ever. So enjoy the beauty that is Bill Simmons and the WWF.

The little clock on my desk has finally dropped below two hundred, and now with a rational number of days left in the Pinhead Regime, I look forward to an orderly transition of power. That's not to say that with six months left that "Dick" and Pinhead won't try to manipulate the Constitution to milk every last drop of grief and woe from their administration. I can almost picture the pointy-headed one clinging tenaciously to his chair while the movers carry boxes and load up furniture around him. "I won't go! You can't make me! I'm a sitting President during wartime!"
But until that day, we still have things to look forward to. In a break with tradition, Barack Obama will accept the Democratic presidential nomination at Invesco Field at Mile High, a seventy-six thousand seat stadium, rather than at the site of the party's national convention across town, the fifty-thousand seat-less Pepsi Center. First of all, since I'm more of a Coke guy than Pepsi, I couldn't be more pleased that Barack Obama will be accepting the nomination in the place the Denver Broncos call "home". While the Broncos have yet to win a Super Bowl since they moved across the street, I am willing to allow a little of the Rocky Mountain Thunder to be shared with the Democrats. I have grown tired of watching my home state glowing red on election night, and I am looking forward to a nice cool blue come this November.
Matt Burns, a spokesman for the Republican convention, dismissed the new speech locale as "stagecraft and theatrics" that "isn't the kind of change the American people deserve or expect." Sorry to disagree with you there, Matt. I guess the Xcel Energy Center, home of the NHL's Minnesota Wild and the NLL's Minnesota Swarm, just doesn't hold the same appeal for me. But time will tell: On June 3, 2008, Senator Barack Obama gave his first speech as the presumptive presidential nominee for the Democratic Party. Over seventeen thousand people attended the event with an additional fifteen thousand watching on big screens directly outside the arena. I wonder if the Republicans are hiring seat-fillers now.

A Republican accusing someone else, anyone else, of "stagecraft and theatrics"? That's rich!
For once I'd like to hear a politician, any politician, accuse someone of focusing too much on the real issues.

A burglary suspect has confessed to a string of crimes across the City of Columbus.
Charles Johnson was picked up by Columbus police from the Muscogee County Jail, and questioned about burglaries that took place at several stores over a number of weeks.
Johnson is accused of stealing primarily cigarettes among other things. He confessed to the following business burglaries:
Corner Store - 2802 Dawson St. - 07-04-14 Corner Store - 2802 Dawson St. - 06-28-14 La Mexicana - 3305 Victory Dr. - 07-08-14 Handee Mart - 3266 Cusseta Rd. - 07-05-14 Wild Gills - 3434 Buena Vista Rd. - 07-09-14 State of Georgia - 3434 Buena Vista Rd. - (obstruction / poss tools comm. Crime) - 07-09-14
We spoke with Columbus police about how homeowners and businesses can protect themselves from being targets.
"One of the things that does help is having vehicles in your driveway at your residence, even if someone's not there," says Sgt. Joe Weatherford with the Columbus Police Department. "You know there's a general rule, most burglars will take the path of least resistance, and that would be an empty home. If they believe someone is there, they will generally pass that residence up."
Officials say the Johnson was able to gain entry through the roofs of the businesses to avoid triggering the alarms right away.

Hello Arrowhead Pride,
As a loyal kansas city chiefs fan i know that the ideal situation in my mind would be to trade back into the middle of the first and pick up possibly somones first and second round pick.
The question i have is who might that team be?
Could a team be in love with jimmy clausen that much to trade up and pick him up?
What could we possibly get in return for the #5 slot in the draft?
Out of all the players that could potentially fall to us at #5 there arent many worth the money. I know everybody is attached to eric berry at the hip and not going to lie i was too. Although ive realized that this draft class is deep and we could easily snatch up a starter in the later rounds i.e. Myron Rolle or Larry Asante. Its not going to be an easy task and it may be inprobable but there is always hope. This is my first post ever so Arrowhead Pride be easy and let me hear your opinions.

Decatur – Antique cars you don't see on the road everyday, made their way into Decatur.
Antique vehicles were parked outside Bob Evans. This is the second year the "Ramblin' Misfits" put on the show to benefit Relay for Life. Inside the restaurant a portion of the sales went to help people with cancer.
Last year the event collected about 6-hundred dollars.

The Good: Compact, useful components.
The Bad: Very limited distribution, some mechanical difficulty.
The Bottom Line: This item has a very limited audience, but when aired with a well-aimed campaign, you can get some serious marketing mileage out of the personalized Golf Knife.
FULL REVIEW (Quick Links) :
Design | Features | Price | Conclusion | Image Gallery
Design (8.8/10): (top)
Each of the Golf Knife's five tools are extremely sturdy and lock into place when they are pulled out and snapped into place, so you don't have to be constantly worried about a faulty hinge snapping back to catch a finger. However, this feature also makes the tools of the Golf Knife hard to open, and you'll really struggle if you don't have fingernails. The imprints are durable, not scratching off with a fingernail and presumably quite enduring through ordinary wear and tear. The knife of the kit is slightly rounded off on most individual piece, but there are some that retain relatively sharp points as a manufacturing quirk.
Features (7/10): (top)
Just short of carrying your bag for you, the Golf Knife can do just about anything. Its five main features – divot repair tool, spike wrench, 1 ½" blade, screwdriver and can opener – are easy to use and lock into place without much fuss. It's only available in four colors (black, blue, burgundy and green), but your imprint color is virtually unlimited and a second side imprint is available for additional fees.
Price (6.2/10): (top)
While its quality does not match up to specialty golf knives you might find in a pro shop, the price of the Golf Knife from Quality Logo Products is also substantially less. So when we say that the price matches the performance, we mean it. Although the Golf Knife can certainly be used as a tool for the green, its primary job is to promote your business or organization.
Conclusion: (top)
Unless you're looking at a campaign specifically aimed at golfers, you're much better off with something like a 4-in-1 Pocket Knife. However, for rewarding loyal country club members or as an award for tournament winners, the Golf Knife comes up aces.

It is only appropriate that our first post is dedicated to our loyal customers….a HUGE thank you for all who have come to support us in our three months since opening. The comments, reviews and sheer loyalty to our newest "baby" have been nothing short of overwhelming. We are so honored to have so much support for what we feel is the healthiest, heartiest, most affordable European-Mediterranean cuisine in the Valley.
Our vision for this little Cafe was to start with breakfast and lunch, however our customers quickly convinced us that our destiny was to become a full RESTAURANT, serving dinner until 9pm. Wow! Who knew! With the weather cooling off, we are warming up bellies with hearty new dinner menu items like our mushroom bruschetta, stuffed peppers with quinoa, and savory meatballs in a sauce that reminds you of Grandma's home cooking…look for our dinner menu to be added to the web site any day now!
Breakfast is bustling these days at Leo & Lily. As the weeks go by, more and more of our customers are starting their day with us. As if our outside patio wasn't already the freshest way to start the day, we are adding a huge new permanent patio covering and heaters so dining anytime of the day is cozy year-round. We offer free wi-fi so catching up on work couldn't feel more relaxing at Leo & Lily! We've been told that our coffee is delicious, and our bakery items are the most "authentically French". We personally suggest our French Macaroons, Pain au Chocolat or a tradittional French Madeline baked fresh to a golden perfection! Look for our expanded bakery items wrapped and ready to go, from muffins for your meeting to holiday gift baskets!
This experience has been wonderful and we have been able to keep up with our ambitious offering which includes take-out, catering, coffee bar and bakery. We look forward to keeping you updated with the latest and greatest discounts, promotions and new menu items as we offer them! Don't forget to subscribe!
Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Guy Zaradez

"Who is scheduling the games around here?"
I have been watching the Blazers games all season thanks to NBA League Pass Broadband, $19.99 a month is worth it for me in Spain, since there really is no other option. But the schedule for the Blazers has been ridiculous lately, the large gaps in between the games and then suddenly a back-to-back and then four more days off and more back-to-backs. The odd thing is for the Blazers it seems to be favoring them. We are currently in the waiting room of a 12-day 3-game span and then rush into a game at Dallas with a day-off then at NOH and at OKC back-to-back. 2 days off and we play NYK at home and leave that night to Denver for another back-to-back. I can only hope that the Blazers keep their level of competitive play up on back-to-backs like they have all season, because out of the remaining 13 games we have 3 more back-to-backs metting @OKC, @DEN and at home with OKC again. With the games leading into them being @NOH, vs NYK and @ LAL.
I have been proud of the Blazers all season long and especially of their recent efforts. I hope that they can keep up this level of play and head into the post-season with a nice streak.

The Big Ten announced this week that it will explore adding a twelfth institution. Some thoughts . . . Does it seem a little off-key that Joe Paterno is leading the charge for Big Ten expansion, so...
MSU basketball and football news roundup for 12/15/09.
Well, there you go. Let the games begin. "The COP/C has asked the conference office to obtain, to the extent possible, information necessary to construct preliminary options and recommendations without engaging in formal discussions with leadership of other institutions. If and when such discussions become necessary the COP/C has instructed Commissioner James E. Delany to inform the Chair of the COP/C, Michigan State University President Lou Anna K. Simon, and then to notify the commissioner of the affected conference(s). Only after these notices have occurred will the Big Ten engage in formal expansion discussions with other institutions." Does MSU's president having an enhanced role in this process make any difference? Also, has there ever been a clunkier acronym for a deliberative body than "COP/C" (Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors)?
According to a league official, the Big Ten will release a statement Tuesday saying the matter has moved to the front burner. The first sign of change came from former Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez, who told Wisconsin's athletic board on Friday that Delany "is going to take this year to really be more aggressive about it. I just think everybody feels [expansion] is the direction to go, coaches and administrators." A league source on Monday cited a "growing groundswell" of support among athletic directors for expansion.Teddy Greenstein indicates Big Ten expansion could be more than just fodder for the blogosphere this time around (HT: Rittenberg)
