Nimrod is the fifth studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day, released on October 14, 1997 through Reprise Records. The group began work on the album in the wake of their cancellation of a European tour after the release of Insomniac (1995). Recorded at Conway Studios in Los Angeles, the album was written with the intent of creating solid songs as opposed to a cohesive album. As a result, Nimrod is noted for its musical diversity and experimentation, and contains elements of folk, surf rock, and ska. The lyrical themes discussed on the record include maturity, personal reflection, and fatherhood. Nimrod is the band's first experimental album.
The album peaked at number ten on the Billboard U.S. charts and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The record also was certified triple platinum in Australia and double platinum in Canada. Nimrod also received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Armstrong's songwriting on the record. The album yielded the acoustic hit "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", which appeared at numerous pop culture events, including the series finale of the sitcom Seinfeld in 1998. To promote the album, Green Day embarked on an extensive touring schedule. Nimrod has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
In 1995, Green Day released Insomniac, which did not perform as well critically and commercially as the band's breakthrough major label debut Dookie (1994).[1] Speaking of Insomniac, vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong noted, "It did a lot better than I thought it was going to do...From the sound of it, we knew it wasn't going to sell as much as Dookie."[2] The group embarked on an extensive world tour to promote Insomniac in early 1996, which saw the band performing in sports arenas that contrasted with the small clubs the group was accustomed to playing. The members became increasingly uncomfortable with the level of stardom they had attained; Armstrong recalled, "We were becoming the things we hated, playing those big arenas. It was beginning to be not fun anymore."[1]
Green Day also became homesick as touring forced the members to leave behind their families. The band eventually decided to cancel the late 1996 European leg of the Insomniac tour to take time off to spend at home.[3] During this time, the band continued to write, and eventually completed over three dozen new songs by the beginning of 1997.[4] Although the group's last effort with producer Rob Cavallo was considered a disappointment, the band did not contemplate choosing anyone else to work with on Nimrod, as the members viewed Cavallo as a "mentor".[4]
Recording and production[edit]
"This is a record we've been thinking about for the past six years. We knew we wanted to change, but we didn't want to change too much too soon. The record's about vulnerability in a lot of ways—throwing yourself out there...Why the fuck not put out that fucking stupid acoustic song or that stupid surf song? This is who we are. Why hide it?"
The album was recorded at Conway Studios in Los Angeles, and the band stayed at the Sunset Marquis Hotel during the sessions.[6] Nimrod took four months to record[6] and, Armstrong partially attributed the lengthy recording time to spending "a little too much time" playing pool and foosball during the sessions.[2] The recording schedule, which lasted from noon to two in the morning every day, became frustrating for the group members, who began drinking heavily.[6] Bassist Mike Dirnt recalled, "One night one of us was walking down the halls knocking on people's doors while naked."[6] Another incident involved drummer Tre Cool throwing his hotel room television set out of his window. Armstrong noted, "There was a lot of glass. You have to live that arrogant lifestyle every now and then."[7] To keep the band focused, Cavallo enlisted his father and manager Pat Magnarella to supervise the group.[7]
While working on Nimrod, Green Day explained to Cavallo their desire to create a more experimental album as the band had grown tired of its traditional three chord song structure. Armstrong drew inspiration from The Clash's landmark record London Calling, and referred to Nimrod as "the record I've wanted to make since the band started."[6] The album was intended to break the constraints of typical punk rock music.[6] To preserve the quality of his songwriting, Armstrong began writing each song on acoustic guitar, to which the rest of the band would later add heavier instrumentation and faster tempos.[8] Green Day recorded around 30 songs for Nimrod and picked 18 of them for the record. Dirnt explained that the recording was much more loosely structured than previous albums, and that creating songs was the focus as opposed to making a cohesive record.[8] He observed, "We've always screwed around with different types of music during our jams, but we'd say, 'OK let's stop and get back to the album.' This time we just let them come up."[8]
Reprise Records president Howie Klein spent a lot of time in the studio with the band during recording, and recalled that, "What I realized immediately is that they had seemed to mature in their musical direction. It wasn't just more of the same. There was so much growth in the band."[2] The musical maturation displayed on Nimrod was partially inspired by Bikini Kill's Reject All American (1996), which encouraged Armstrong to balance "rough punk rock songs" and "delicate pretty songs".[2] Armstrong wrote "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" in 1990 and did not show the song to his bandmates until the Dookie recording sessions in 1993.[9] During the sessions, the song was determined to be too different from the rest of the songs on Dookie, and producer Rob Cavallo was unsure of how to structure the recording.[9] When the time came to record Nimrod, Armstrong decided to use the song, and Cavallo suggested they add strings to the track. He sent the band to play foosball in another room while he recorded the strings, which took "like fifteen, twenty minutes, maybe a half an hour at the most."[9] Cavallo reflected on his decision to add the strings "I knew we had done the right thing. I knew it was a hit the second I heard it."[9]
In addition to the strings on "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", the music of Nimrod contains a variety of other instruments that were not featured on previous Green Day albums. "Walking Alone" features Armstrong playing the harmonica, despite the fact that he did not "know how to play it at all".[5] "Hitchin' a Ride" opens with a Middle Eastern-inspired violin performed by Petra Haden of That Dog.[10] The band invited Gabrial McNair and Stephen Bradley of No Doubt's horn section to play on the ska-influenced "King for a Day".[11][12]
Music and lyrics[edit]
This track consists solely of vocals, guitar, and strings. The song has been referred to as a "pop-punk campfire singalong ballad" and differs from the band's more abrasive punk rock roots.[14]

Nimrod is more musically varied than previous Green Day albums. Armstrong noted that with the album, Green Day went down "different avenues," adding: "Each song has its own character and identity so we wanted to be able to bring that out as much as possible."[15] "Nice Guys Finish Last" has been considered a song that "eases the transition" from Insomniac to Nimrod.[16] Sandy Masuo of the Los Angeles Times likened "Worry Rock" to the music of Elvis Costello.[17] "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" has been referred to as a "pop-punk campfire singalong ballad".[14] After opening with Haden's violin solo, "Hitchin' a Ride" evolves into a bass-driven rock song with a "Stray Cats vibe".[8][10] Cool referred to "Take Back" (which features a more upfront hardcore-style, both musically and vocally) and "Platypus (I Hate You)" as "some of the most punk songs we've ever done".[18][13] "Last Ride In" is a surf rock-influenced instrumental, and "King for a Day" is a ska punk song featuring a horn section.[13] Armstrong compared the song to the Oi! genre, and noted "It would be funny for a bunch of macho fraternity guys to be singing along and, little do they know, the song's about being in drag."[2] The "chiming" guitar riffs of "Redundant" have been compared to those of The Byrds.[19]
Lyrically, Nimrod touches upon more reflective themes not present on earlier Green Day albums. Much of the album illustrates Armstrong's sentiments on growing up and his role as a husband and father.[2] "The Grouch" centers on Armstrong's fears of "wasting away, getting fat, becoming impotent, and losing his ideals."[15] On "Walking Alone", he reflects on old friends from his childhood, and notes that he is "too drunk to figure out they're fading away."[15] Armstrong discusses the struggle to stay sober on "Hitchin' a Ride".[2] "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" was inspired by Armstrong's failed relationship with a woman that ended when she joined the Peace Corps in 1990.[20] The same woman is also the subject of "She" from Dookie, "Whatsername" from American Idiot (2004) and "Amanda" from ¡Tré!.[20][21]
However, other songs contain subject matter and themes more typical of Green Day's previous work. Armstrong wrote "Nice Guys Finish Last" about the band's interactions with the band's lawyers and managers and how "everybody thinks they know what's best for you."[22] "Jinx" contains self-deprecating lyrics characteristic of many of the band's songs, while "Prosthetic Head" has been referred to as a "typical ticked-off kiss-off".[15][23] "King for a Day" tells the story of a cross-dresser.[15] "Uptight" contains repeated mentions of suicide; Armstrong explained, "I think the word 'suicide' just sounded really good. And the line, 'I'm a son of a gun'. It made sense, but I can't really explain why it made sense. It just sort of does."[2]

The album received generally positive reviews from critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave Nimrod three and a half stars out of five, calling it an "invigorating, if occasionally frustrating listen", and although he praised Armstrong's "gift for hooky, instantly memorable melodies", he noted that "the 18 tracks whip by at such a breakneck speed that it leaves you somewhat dazed."[24] Greg Kot of Rolling Stone enjoyed the album's melodic nature as well as the "measure of sincerity" present in Armstrong's vocals.[19] Kot appreciated the return of the band's "juvenile sense of humor" that he felt was lacking on Insomniac, and praised the musical diversity on the record, remarking, "This music is a long way from Green Day's apprenticeship at the Gilman Street punk clubs, in Berkeley, Calif. But now that the band has seen the world, it's only fitting that Green Day should finally make an album that sounds as if it has."[19]
A group of editors writing for People also praised the record's "fresh and original" melodies and "quick-tempoed cool", adding, "Kudos to Green Day, young punk's reigning purists, for sticking with what they know best."[28] Sandy Masuo of the Los Angeles Times enjoyed the "mature songwriting that really makes this album tick", noting that "Naturally, a couple of thrash 'n' bash hard-core paeans are included, but they're surrounded by songs that are surprisingly varied in character and grounded in a pop aesthetic that evokes a gaggle of great tunesmiths."[17] Stephen Thompson of The A.V. Club wrote, "If Green Day still has a loyal following, its fans are bound to find something to like on Nimrod; for all the attempts at diversity, the record is packed with mile-wide hooks and sing-along anthems."[23]
Chart performance[edit]
Nimrod debuted at number ten on the Billboard 200, selling 81,000 copies in its first week of release, and remained on the chart for 70 weeks.[29][30] On March 16, 2000, Nimrod was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of over two million copies.[31] In Canada, the album peaked at number four, remaining on the chart for four weeks.[30] On July 6, 1998, the record was certified double platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association for shipments of over 200,000 copies.[32] In Australia, the album debuted at number twelve and later peaked at number three on the country's chart.[33] The record was later certified triple platinum in Australia.[34]
The Nimrod promotional tour began in the fall of 1997, and began with an in-store record signing at a Tower Records in Manhattan.[35] The band was upset upon reading reviews that suggested the band had lost its punk edge, and started a riot during its scheduled eight-song set at the store.[36] Armstrong then wrote the words "fuck" and "nimrod" in black spray paint on the storefront windows, and proceeded to moon the audience of 1,400 people.[36] After the riot settled down, Cool threw his bass drum into the crowd while Armstrong attempted the same with a 200-pound monitor, which was wrestled away from him by a store manager.[37] No charges were filed and no injuries were reported, but the store was closed for the day to repair damages caused.[36]
On the tour in promotion of the album, Green Day aimed for simplicity and decided not to bring new instrumentalists to play for the new songs. Armstrong commented, "Right now we're refraining from pulling out a lot of that 'Nimrod' stuff. We want to make things small. We don't want to bring a horn section or a violin player out with us. A lot of people want to hear the old stuff, and that stuff is still just as significant to us."[5] The Nimrod tour marked the first time the band performed its now-routine ritual of inviting audience members onstage to play instruments.[38] During the tour, Armstrong felt that he became a better performer, noting, "I think some people walk away from a Green Day concert with the emotions you would get from some kind of theater performance where the crowd feels involved — where it's not just about the singer. It's not just about the band."[39]
While performing at the 1998 KROQ Weenie Roast in Irvine, California, Third Eye Blind bassist Arion Salazar ran onstage and "bear-hugged" Dirnt, who was caught off-guard.[40] The incident escalated into an on-stage scuffle before Salazar was taken away by security. After the performance, Dirnt confronted Salazar backstage, and as the two were arguing, a beer bottle struck Dirnt in the head, causing a small fracture in his skull.[40] Eyewitnesses later attributed the bottle throwing to a fan of Third Eye Blind.[40] Salazar and the band's management soon released a statement: "I am sorry that my attempt at doing something I thought would be funny escalated into Mike getting hurt. That was never my intention. I simply had too much to drink and made a very bad decision. If I had been in Mike's place, I am sure I would have acted similarly. My heart goes out to him and I hope he recovers quickly."[40]
"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" appeared in numerous events of popular culture, including a scene involving the death of a cancer patient on the medical drama ER and the series finale of the sitcom Seinfeld in 1998.[41] The finale of Seinfeld attracted record figures of 100 million viewers, and has been deemed "the most talked about show finale" in US television history.[41]

The plan to keep a handful of local Taco Tico restaurants open appears to have failed. Late last month, a bankruptcy court granted complete relief to one of Taco Tico's investors.
The investment group has a stake in getting some sort of recovery for the failed Taco Tico businesses in Wichita. Today, a notice of sale of assets is being publicized, indicating most Taco Tico locations in Wichita are done.
There are six Taco Tico stores in Wichita That are affected. Others are in Derby, Arkansas City, Topeka and Dodge City. Taco Tico franchisor Ajax International had tried to stop this from happening by filing for bankruptcy in March.
The order states that Ajax failed to gain insurance on its stores after being ordered to do so in early March.
The State of Kansas shut down the affected Taco Tico locations earlier this year for non-payment of more than $400,000 in sales tax.
Attorneys for the investor are publicizing a 'notice of sale' in an effort to recover some collateral.
There are some Taco Tico restaurants that are operated by a different franchosee and are not affected by any of this. Those stores are in Augusta, El Dorado and Newton.
We spoke with Ajax owner Mohmood Karim's attorney. He said he was filing to dismiss the bankruptcy case today. It is not clear yet whether Karim plans to continue trying to get the business back up and running or not.

The lighted box measures 31 inches across by 31 inches high and 10 inches deep. The sign (or star) measures 29 inches wide by 23 inches across.

Millions Seized in Harry Winston Robbery
Diamond jewelry valued at $108 million was seized yesterday in a shocking robbery of the Parisian branch of high-end jeweler, Harry Winston. The well-organized bandits were said to know the names of several employees and the location of the branch's secret jewelry storage units. And the best part? They robbed in drag!
According to Yahoo! news, armed men dressed in wigs and women's dresses entered the store on Avenue Montaigne near the Champs-Elysees shortly before their closing time. They took nearly everything on display and forced staff to hand off diamonds stashed away in the back. No one was injured and no shots were fired. (The fashion police were unfortunately off duty).
This heist comes on the heels of a similar raid on the very same branch over a year ago, where thieves escaped with more than $25 million in glittering gems. Coincidence? Or is this the same outfit back for another grab?
"We are clearly dealing with well-organized, ruthless criminals," Winston spokeswoman, Isabelle Montagne, said yesterday.
Parisian TV crews and curious passersby littered the road outside the store and marveled at the millions lost.
"How on earth are they going to fence all that," asked Richard Conacher, a 39-year-old pub worker from Melbourne.
The largest-ever jewelry heist took place in February 2003, when thieves took diamonds valued at 100 million euros from vaults at Antwerp's diamond exchange, according to Agence France- Presse.
Jewelry heists are dramatized in Hollywood as rather 'romantic' crimes, (Exhibit A: To Catch A Thief, Exhibit B: The James Bond ouevre). Click here for a closer look at historic real-life jewelry thefts (and put those Cary Grant cat burglar fantasies in a box where they belong.)

LOWELL | The town moved another step closer Thursday to positioning itself for future industrial development.
The Lowell Plan Commission unanimously agreed to adopt the Lowell Annexation Plan recommended by the Annexation Committee and prepared by planner James Mandon.
"This is a guide," said Doug Niksch, who chairs the Annexation Committee. "The Annexation Committee believes as long as this is maintained and used only as a guide, we'll be fine."
Dana Llewellyn, of the 6800 block of Belshaw Road, lives in one of the zones marked for possible annexation. She is in the fifth zone of 20 listed. She wanted to know whether the zones were labeled according to priority.
Mandon said each of the zones are weighed according to benefits to the town and difficulties anticipated because of remonstration and other factors.
In the case of the zone in which she resides, Mandon wrote in the plan, "Because of the rail access, the development potential and revenue production is good." However, he called the topography "challenging."
Wayne Wietbrock, of the 18000 block of Cline Avenue, asked, "Why annex now?"
Wietbrock lives in an area planned for annexation and wondered why the town doesn't wait until property owners petition to be annexed.
"Is it for the town to have control and not the county have control?" Wietbrock asked.
Plan Commission President Richard Kelley said, "That's part of it .... There are opportunities for business in town, and there's nowhere else to go."
Llewellyn was concerned about legislation that would not require areas be contiguous to the town to be annexed.
Councilman Craig Earley, D-1st, also a Plan Commission member, said he understood state Sen. Rick Niemeyer, R-Lowell, "pulled it." The legislation's future is not known.
When Llewellyn asked what the next step would be, attorney Jack Kramer said Monday's public hearing and the plan's adoption are not a shortcut. There still will be the full process, he said.
Kelley said officials have been cautious regarding what the town can afford in considering annexation.

Andrew Wright is a musical theatre choreographer achieving more and more prominence in the theatre world. Most recently nominated for, and winning, Best Choreographer for Singin' in the Rain at the Palace Theatre in the What's On Stage Awards 2013, he is creating fantastic and entertaining work, and looks set to stay at the forefront of the musical theatre industry.
Aside from Singin' in the Rain, Wright has also recently worked on the High Society and Wonderful Town UK tours, with 2013 alone demonstrating his choreographic talent in encompassing all aspects of the performance industry. Wright has also worked with artists such as Elaine Paige, Jane McDonald, Idina Menzal and Caroline O' Connor, and worked alongside such directors as Jonathan Church, Paul Kerryson, Braham Murray, Nikolai Foster, Phil Wilmott, Richard Frost and Lisa Kent.
Before choreographing, Wright trained at the Arts Educational School, London, and went on to have his own fair share of West End performance stints. He performed for thirteen years, in shows such as Mary Poppins, Cats, Follies, Anything Goes, Mack and Mabel and Beauty and the Beast, and now works as a full-time choreographer in his own right. To date his career has encompassed a wide range of productions from West End musicals to arena events, working with 400 strong choirs to intimate cabarets of one person. In addition to 2013, 2012 saw Wright nominated for the Best Theatre Choreographer Olivier Award, with his work continuing to spread throughout London and the south.
Next up for Wright will be welcoming Jennifer Ellison to the cast of Singin' in the Rain as Lina Lamont, taking over from Katherine Kingsley for the West End cast. Other cast members will also be altering, such as those playing characters Kathy Selden and Cosmo Brown, completing the trio made famous by Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Conner in 1952 MGM musical film.

Moving Children Out of State After Divorce
Picture this: your divorce is final and you're trying to put your life back together. Your job is stable, but you've been looking for a better job for months. Then it happens. You find the job of your dreams! Only catch: it's in Virgina. To take it you'd have to move clear across the country and uproot the kids – you can't exactly leave them behind. And if that's not bad enough, there's another large (but more familiar) obstacle in your way: your ex. He never seemed to care about the kids before the divorce, but somehow he got joint custody, and now he won't consent to your moving the kids out of state. (Exes are the gifts that keep on giving, aren't they?)
Let's look at things from the other perspective. Say the kids are happy living primarily with mom, and dad is very involved in the kids' lives. He's personally coaching little Jessica in tennis and she's ranked nationally in the under 5 category. Mom doesn't waste a single day post-divorce – she immediately finds a great new boyfriend online. He's rich! He's handsome! He's 6'4"! And he just invited mom and the kids to come live with him on his sprawling 124-acre ranch… In Calgary. Wonderful.
In both of these scenarios, the parties will likely wind up in court on what we cleverly refer to as a "move away case." This is not going to be an easy case from either party's perspective. California courts are loath to separate children from their parents, but they do sometimes allow it. So even if one parent has primary custody, the court will want to hear very good reasons before allowing that parent to move the children out of state.
The court's determination in these cases boils down to an evaluation of the children's best interests. There are a lot of factors that go into determining best interests, but the courts are generally of the opinion that maintaining frequent and continuous contact with both parents is one of the most important. That makes it very difficult for one parent to move the children out of state after divorce if the other parent objects. That said, it does happen, and the most common scenario for getting approval for a move-away is one in which the non-custodial parent is disengaged or doesn't spend any meaningful time with the children. If the non-custodial parent is a big part of the children's lives, the battle is going to be a lot longer and a lot tougher.
Courts look at almost every factor in making their decision about moving children out of state after divorce. Here are some examples of facts that are in favor of a move-away:
● Older children;
● Non-custodial spouse has a very limited timeshare, is disengaged, violent, or is a substance abuser;
● Proposed new home has better schools, a lower crime rate, a better support system (including extended family), or similar features that are good for the kids;
● Better employment opportunities for the custodial parent in the proposed new home;
● Children do not have special attachments to their current home (e.g. medical needs that can only be treated effectively there, special hobbies that are only available there, etc.)
Virtually every factor affecting the kids is relevant to the Courts. If you're seeking a move-away, your strategy is to highlight how beneficial the new location will be for the kids in all areas of their lives. It is also critical show the many ways you will keep the connection between the non-custodial parent and the children strong. Committing to facilitating calls or Skype video chats, helping the kids spend vacations and other special occasions with the non-custodial parent (including chipping in for airfare), and other strategies for keeping the bond strong, all help tip the scales in favor of approving the move-away.
If you're contesting a move-away, your approach is to focus on how well adjusted the kids are to their current environment, and how disruptive a move would be. You want to establish that your relationship with the kids is strong and consistent, and that their new home simply wouldn't be able to approximate the benefits of staying near you.
If you thought a move was a great way to wipe the slate clean and ignore your ex, we're sorry to inform you that the courts don't get behind that agenda. Move-aways only work if you continue to play nice.
These cases follow a fairly common, but a very complex procedural process. If you're dealing with moving the children out of state after divorce, you'll want to hire a family attorney experienced with move-away cases. Our office handle's move-away cases very frequently, and we're happy to explain the process to you. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.

I'm no Keyshia Cole fan. Like any card-carrying member of the Beyhive, I gave up any hope I had for ever enjoying another Keyshia Cole track the moment she threw shade at Beyonce for "Bow Down." (Not to mention the jabs she took at Destiny Child's Michelle Williams during Bey's infamous 2013 Superbowl performance.)
But as a fellow black girl, there are some things that I will always be able to appreciate about Keyshia Cole other than her two-tone weaves and the unique spelling of her name. And one of them is the ability to curse someone out in a way that only black girls can. Especially to anyone who attempts to take us back to the 1950s (the white 1950s, at least, because black women were working their asses off back then as well) by suggesting that pursuing a career is somehow a threat to a successful marriage.
During an interview with V103, interviewer Wanda Smith questioned Cole about her marriage and asked if she really thought she was "wifey material" because she was focused on her career. You can check out the audio here. You can also check out the transcript below.
Wanda: Do you feel like you were wifey material?
Keyshia: You know what? Y'all really f-ckin' with my sh-t right now. I got some other sh-t going on. What y'all wanna talk about? Tell me now.
Wanda: You were so busy, you had your career popping off and you you were doing your thing. Then you had to phase out and start doing the wifey things, the cooking, taking care of the kids. Were you really ready for that or were you still trying to do your music thing?
Keyshia: So you trying to insinuate that I was one-dimensional?
Wanda: Don't take it like that, I'm just asking because I know at a time in my life, I had to pull back my career and… like with Monica! Right now, she's a little quiet and doing her thing.
Keyshia: Listen! Monica I'm sure is doing her thing. This isn't ain't no first rodeo for Monica. She's been through the ringer, this, that and the other. But at the end of the day, we can handle all that! It's a point of a man taking care of his business. Straight up on that. We good! We handle our sh-t. We do what we do! Period! I don't know what to tell you about that.
Y0u need only watch 10 minutes of a Love & Hip Hop episode to witness how narratives about relationships within black popular culture can be a bit problematic, to say the least. And the storyline that gets my tits in the tightest twirl is the one that suggests that black women are only good partners when they sacrifice everything, including their careers, for the sake of their relationships. A recent example of this was when Gabrielle Union took responsibility for her partner Dwayne Wade cheating and getting someone else pregnant. As if Dwayne Wade didn't expect his partner, a sought after actress, to be busy sometimes (just like he is during basketball season).
The sacrificial black woman is not a new trope, it's just so outlandish. Black women are over-represented among poor people in America. And we never seem to forget that many are already holding down families on their own as single mothers. Like Keyshia said, "We can handle ALL of that!" While it might appeal to the patriarchal sensibilities of men who think that women should be solely responsible for childcare and domestic duties, it simply doesn't represent the reality and complexities of black women's lives.
Perhaps my feminist killjoy has taken over and I'm a bit bitter about how bleak my own budget is looking, but black women have bigger fish to fry. We can love, support, and compromise for our partners but our existence is not rooted in being anyone's "wifey material." And I am grateful that Keyshia resisted that "one-dimensional" barrier.
Sesali is wondering what the fuck "wifey material" means, anyway?

The NSA hasn't exactly been winning a lot of friends these days. Whether committing massive constitutional-smashing abuses on citizens in Missouri, or listening in on the private conversations of their European "friends", the Federal Government's Orwellian NSA agency seems to be styling itself more as a creepy high-tech peeping tyrant than any actual taxpayer-supported servant to the people.
Michael Boldin, founder of the Tenth Amendment Center recently wrote on October 25, 2013 that: "A few weeks ago, Dianne Feinstein claimed that mass spying by the NSA is 'lawful, effective and constitutional.' She then introduced a new NSA 'reform bill' that does absolutely nothing to stop the NSA. A few days later, she took to the pages of the Wall Street Journal for some nasty fear-mongering. She wants you to believe that either the NSA must be allowed to continue the spying, or you could get hurt in a terrorist attack. Her message was basically this: We spy, or you die."
However, Boldin notes that you don't have to keep taking it from people like Feinstein. And you don't have to sit around waiting for her or her friends to stop the NSA. In fact, the Tenth Amendment Center has put together a multi-phase plan to resist the NSA.
Phase 1 starts with passage of the 4th Amendment Protection Act. This is a "legislative device" which requires a "refusal to cooperate" with federal spying programs in Missouri. No matter what they tell you, the NSA absolutely does rely on help in virtually every state. Here's just a few prominent examples – all of which would be banned with passage of the 4th Amendment Protection Act.
- Providing Vital Resources. The NSA is resource-hungry. Back in 2006, they maxed-out the Baltimore-area power grid. They were concerned that additional power needs could "cripple" their "mission." The hunt for new data centers was on. The one in Utah, for example, requires 1.7 million gallons of water every single day to operate. That water is being supplied by a political subdivision of the State of Utah.
- Universities as Research Centers. There are currently 166 colleges around the country the NSA has partnered with (including Missouri University of Science and Technology and University of Missouri at Columbia). These are major research centers, advancing NSA spying capabilities. And, they act as fertile recruiting grounds for future NSA "analysts." Many of these universities are state-run, and future partnership would be banned with passage of the 4th Amendment Protection Act.
- Big Brother in your Local Police. The NSA's culture of suspicion is trickling down to local law enforcement. Information collected without a warrant is shared locally through two channels (that we're already aware of). They share through the Special Operations Division (SOD) and fusion centers. On top of it, local law enforcement is encouraged to share Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) upstream with NSA and other federal agencies. (learn more about SAR here) It's a very symbiotic relationship. In short, your local police is being co-opted by big brother.
Whether it's resources like water, electricity, or sewage treatment, or research partnerships and information "sharing," there's nothing in the Constitution, or any case law, which requires your state to help the feds violate your rights. Even the Supreme Court has repeatedly agreed with this "anti-commandeering doctrine." Relevant court cases are 1842 Prigg, 1992 New York, 1997 Printz and 2012 Sebelius.
Take Action:
- Learn more about the 4th Amendment Protection Act HERE.
- Contact your state rep and senator by phone. Strongly, but respectfully encourage them to introduce the act in Missouri. Call or e-mail your Senator by using this directory. To call or e-mail your Legislators: Legislator Look-up
- Contact your local politicians – county and city or town – and ask them to introduce a resolution in support of this action HERE

The South Bend Medical Foundation has experienced a drop in inventory of blood and is asking eligible donors to come to one of their local locations.
Lately blood banks are seeing fewer donors coming, the South Bend Medical Foundation says they are barely meeting their goal of 61 donations per day.
Fewer donors means less blood to help hospitals in the area including Memorial Hospital, St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, and Elkhart General.
Officials say a number of things are keeping people away,
"We have noticed a drop in donations around this time of the year. we have a lot of people who are sick, a lot of snow birds who go down to warmer climates and so we have had a drop in donors in the last month this week for sure based on the weather."
The South Bend Donor Center, located at 530 Lafayette Blvd. is open to walk ins Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., and 6:00 a.m. until 5: p.m. on Friday.
Folks in Mishawaka can go to the donation center on the corner of Main St. and Edison from 7:30 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., or the Elkhart Donor center on the lower level of Elkhart General Hospital on Wednesday and Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., or Thursday between noon and 8:00 p.m.
All of the donor centers are open on Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. until doors close at 2:00 p.m.
One pint of blood can be used to save up to three lives, and it only takes about 45 minutes to donate.
The South Bend Medical Foundation says any donor will automatically be entered into a March raffle to win one of two vacation packages valued at $1,000.
To schedule an appointment, visit www.GiveBloodNow.com or call the center at 574.234.1157.

Deborah Ann Woll celebrates 'Mother's Day'
Actress cast in remake of 1980 cult classic
The original "Mother's Day" revolved around three female friends who, while camping, run afoul of two brothers who engage in murder and rape to impress their deranged mother.
The remake sees the villainous family, slightly expanded to include a daughter (Woll), return to the house where they grew up and terrorize the new owners and their guests.
Twisted Pictures, the Genre Co., Rat Entertainment and LightTower Entertainment are behind the remake.
The makers are eyeing a spring release timed for Mother's Day with a shoot to begin in the fall in Manitoba.
Woll, repped by Stone Manners and Marshak/Zachary Co., is best known for playing teen vampire Jessica Hamby on HBO's "True Blood." She next shoots the indie drama "Highland Park."

While going through family slides, I came across two that seemed to have paper in the cardboard slide frame instead of film. I realized that these were the slides my dad used to create the Christmas decorations that were a constant part of my childhood Christmases in the 1960's.
Originally cut from a Popular Mechanics magazine these were for projecting onto plywood. With saber saw, paint, and lights, you were the envy of the neighborhood.
Santa would be placed on the roof, and the reindeer would attempt to hoist the bag up to him. What good is decorating if it doesn't involve going up a ladder?
I made one of these back in the 50s. It was a rear view of a Short Santa with his bag reaching up to the doorknob to open the front door. I used the family slide projector to scale the image to fit Santa's hand height to the exact height of the doorknob. I didn't use plywood though, just a large piece of cardboard. It worked pretty good since the front door was sheltered by the front porch. Got a couple of years use out of it.

Car Comfort not a truck
I bought my Endeavor brand new in 2004 and it runs like a car compared to other SUV we test drove.We drove this SUV all over California,Nevada and Utah and we love the comfort we experienced during this long drive.We did the required maintenance and we never have any problems with it.I travel to work 80 miles per day and i have about 133,00 miles on it and it still drive like a brand new SUV.I would highly recommend this SUV to anyone......

Drives like a car-not a truck!

I recently bought mine (2004 model)with only 16-18,000 miles on it. It drives like brand new, and it practically is. It handles like a car, not like a truck. Its solid, quiet and comfortable! The only thing we noticed was that it has a very slight roll to it. Once you get use to driving it though, its not a problem. I traded in my 2004 Honda Accord for it. Loved my Accord, but I had always been wanting an SUV. With all the SUV's out there, I had a hard time making a choice. My boyfriend and I took the 2004 Endeavor out for a very long test drive, and we both fell in love with it and bought it that day! If you dont own one, buy one! Buy it used or new, you wont regret it. (of course make a smart choice, buy one with low miles and well maintained). I do believe in extended warranties.

This elegant B&B in East Hampton is exactly what its name suggests: a house full of art. It was designed and decorated by the owners, Michael and Rosalind, who combine mutual talents in art and hospitality. There are only four rooms for rent, but there are all the amenities of a larger property, including endless communal spaces, an outdoor pool, and fitness center. Although big in scope, the Art House retains all of the personalized charm of staying with friends, making it a distinctive option in the Hamptons -- though it comes at a high price.
This sprawling resort tucked away on scenic Old Montauk Highway takes the word "panoramic" seriously: Every room comes with a direct ocean view and private patio or balcony. The 10-acre site is situated on a hillside and includes pretty walkways, an outdoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, and private beach access. Rooms are large and lovely, and amenities are plentiful -- but you'll need a car to get to restaurants and nightlife.
This condo beach property has 32 units in a two-story, motel-style building, surrounded by flower boxes, and property high points include the outdoor pool, private beach access, and location within walking distance of the hamlet of Amagansett. All units come with a kitchen, though they range in modernity and decor (with some pushing the dated-and-dowdy limits, and others crossing the line of colorful contemporary). If private Amagansett beachfront is what you want, Ocean Dunes is your only bet.
Smack dab between Amagansett and Montauk, the Sea Crest on the Ocean resort is a two-level condo property containing studio, one-, two-, or three-bedroom units. Studios contain efficiency kitchens, and all others have full kitchens. Units vary greatly in decor depending on owner, so ask for a description when booking. The main attraction here is the easy and free access to the beach, but additional highlights include the outdoor pool, charcoal grills, and tennis courts. Located just off the Highway 27 artery, a car is needed to reach local restaurants and attractions (and there's no restaurant on-site). Second-floor rooms are more likely to have a view of the ocean.

Every game is big in the National Football League, but today's game between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears rises to a new level. This is for the division title. This is for bragging rights between the two teams with the oldest rivalry in the league. This one could determine so much across the league as far as playoff seedings. It's HUGE.
So, again this week, we place our necks in the noose and look at how this game might play out.
But before you read about how we think the game might go, take our poll.
Enjoy … and let us know if you agree or disagree with our predictions …
Ray Rivard: Huge is an understated descriptor for this Packers vs. Bears tilt. By 3 p.m. today we will know whether the Packers have clinched their second straight NFC North Division title or whether the Bears have come back to life to get back into the playoff race. Just like every division game, you can throw out the records, you can throw out the trash talk, you can throw out the fact that both teams have suffered debilitating injuries to valuable players. These two teams know one another so well, that it always comes down to a turnover here, a special teams play there, a tipped ball, a trick play – remember the Packers' fake punt back in September that turned that game? You can bet Lovie Smith remembers – he's the king of the trick play and the Packers better be on their toes today. It's not a matter of if it will happen, but when it will happen.
That said, I think this will be close for at least the first three quarters before Aaron Rodgers brings his A-game and makes a couple of more big plays than Jay Cutler. Look at Rodgers' statistics against the bears the past four years. He's been lights out, has only lost twice to them and is facing a defense that has slipped the past month, is without two of their best players and is primed for exploitation. I think Rodgers once again has a big day, Mason Crosby hits one more field goal than Olindo Mare and the Packers get out of Chicago once again as NFC North Division champs.
It won't hurt that the Packers also get their best defensive player, Clay Matthews, back. Couple that with the addition of Sam Shields to the defensive backfield and the Packers are nearly at full strength on that side of the ball. Matthews is just one player, but his return is likely to tip the defensive balance in the favor of the Packers.
Packers 26 Bears 17
Tommy Marquardt: Looking at the game objectively, the Packers are playing better and have weathered their worst injuries up until now. The Bears are without two of their better defensive players, a top-notch kicker and Cutler is nursing injuries. My head says go with the Packers.
My gut is telling me to beware, the Packers have won 10 straight against the NFC North dating back to 2010 and no team has run the table within their division two years in a row since the current 4 by 4 division format was implemented in 2002. The Bears always play the Packers tough and are due for a win in the rivalry. Turnovers and weather can keep any game close and if that happens the Bears can probably pull it out at home.
Even with all that said, I'm going with my head and I predict a Packer victory
Packers 24 Bears 21
Bill Walton: When the Packers play the Bears it's always special – even when they play in Chicago. Even more so when they play with stakes like these. The Packers can clinch the NFC North with a win. The Bears can disrupt the Packers playoff plans but cannot eliminate them.
Both teams have dinged up players. Green Bay gets Clay Matthews back for this one, albeit in a diminshed role. Any Clay Matthews is better than none, and if nothing else he'll make Chicago think about how to defend him. Clay Matthews a decoy? Perhaps. But I still think he'll get to Cutler at least once and make him move around more than he would like on his gimpy knee. Packers DBs will have to finish on INT opportunities. Packers special teams will have to control Hester. The usual subplots are in play. The Packers just have to execute.
Wife and Clay Matthews devotee Deneen thinks the Packers will win 31-14. Christmas-crazed son John says it'll be 35-24 Packers. I think it's going to end up 38-17 Packers. But as long as the Pack wins it'll be a good day!
We'll be at tailgaters in Magnolia for the game watch party. Follow me on Twitter at @PackersTX and watch LombardiAve.com for my post-game fan rant. And come on by and help us out-fan the Bears fans!
Patrick Hughes: Packers versus Bears, the rivalry of all NFL rivalries, one of two games Cheeseheads and those blessed with a three-letter acronym not appropriate for this site have had circled on the schedule all season. And this game in particular is important. The Packers win and they secure their place as NFC North Division champs and a playoff bid. The Bears win and they keep their playoffs hopes alive. High stakes and I expect a punch-you-in the-mouth all-out brawl.
The Bears have been talkin' smack all week. It started with Brandon Marshall yapping about how he does not like the Packers and whining about being double covered. Then Bears linebacker Lance Briggs called Jermichael Finely an idiot for comments Finley made about Brian Urlacher. Briggs' remarks may have made some Packer fans think to themselves, well better him saying it than one of Finley's teammates. Other than Finley's two cents the Packers have been relatively quiet. You can bet Coach McCarthy had something to do with that.
It seems the Bears understand the gravity of this game; they are desperate and attempting to make the Packers take their eyes off the prize. I sense that following the smack down the Packers were given by the Giants they have a renewed focus and understand the necessity of bringing their "A" game each week, especially this week.
I don't expect the Packers to roll the Bears like they did in week 2. This one will be close. My prediction is Packers 28, Bears 17. Look for the Packers running game to have a nice effort, coming in at around 110 yards. Look for solid contributions from Green, Grant, and Harris, the three-headed monster. I also expect Greg Jennings to be a difference maker. On the defensive side of the ball, well they are playing against Cutler so look for picks from Tramon Williams and Casey Hayward and sacks by CMIII and BJ Raji.
Go Pack GO!
Jason Hirschhorn: This is the biggest game of the year for the Chicago Bears, or as the Green Bay Packers call it, Sunday.
T.J. Lang returns to the starting lineup this week, yet there is more uncertainty than ever along the offensive line. Coach McCarthy refused to confirm whether Lang will be playing at tackle or guard, and now Josh Sitton is questionable. Should Sitton miss the game, Lang will certainly play at left guard with Evan Dietrich-Smith filling in for Sitton at right guard and Don Barclay making his second start at right tackle.
Despite his head/neck injury from last week, Jay Cutler is set to start for the Bears. He's been inconsistent for the Bears all season, and actually has performed slightly worse at home than on the road. He's been better of late, however, sporting a 101.6 passer rating in his last two home starts. While that's a good sign for Chicago, the Bears' defense has inversely trended. It's not only Urlacher's absence; there has been a marked decline in the performance of Julius Peppers and Lance Briggs. While Charles Tillman still has performed well (two forced fumbles in the last two weeks), this, too, represents a cooling off.
With the Packers returning Clay Matthews after a four-game stint on the sidelines, it's hard to imagine the Bears being able to keep Cutler upright. If the Packers pass protection is anything like what they've had the past two weeks (a challenge if Sitton is out), that should be the edge they need to pull it out.
Packers 31 – Bears 24

Power Plan not functioning
Recently got Windows 7 machine and gradually getting it to the way I want it.
However the balanced power plan which was fine at the start has ceased to work. All options appear available but selecting a change and saving produces no change to the actual performance of the PC - it simply keeps going.
Is this a known issue with 7? Any advice will be appreciated.
|My System Specs
|14 Mar 2011
The factory preinstall may have added to the Power Plan to cause it to malfunction. All of the factory bloatware and useless utilities burden Windows 7 from being the featherlight, instantaneous OS it is meant to be.
Try running SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker to see if it needs repairing.
If that fails, consider a Repair Install by finding an installer for your version to copy, or to unlock all versions. If you have SP1 you'll need to slipstream SP1 into the ISO using this method: Slipstream Windows 7 SP1 into a Installation DVD or ISO File
I have good results running Repair Install on even the most bloated factory preinstalls, however you might want to consider if you find an installer getting the best perfromance out of Windows 7 by clean reintsalling without the factory bloatware and useless factory Utilities which have better versions built into Windows 7: re-install windows 7
|My System Specs
|14 Mar 2011
Thanks Gregrocker for the prompt reply and useful links.
The "sfc /verifyonly" method revealed no integrity issues, so looks like maybe a System Restore or two in the first instance.
Thanks again for the advice.
|My System Specs
|14 Mar 2011
Good idea. Try to choose a date before the problem began. If System Restore balks or has problems from Windows 7, run it from System Recovery Options so it isn't dependent upon the OS to run itself.

Sony, Samsung and Canon introduce cameras that produce the best possible photos from the smallest possible devices.
Olympus and Panasonic introduce two new Micro Four-Thirds cameras that offer fresh solutions to the small camera/big sensor problem.
Earlier this week Intel CEO Brian Krzanich showed off a Windows 8 PC running a new chip code-named "Broadwell" and promised that devices shipping with it will be coming in 2014.
Starting in mid-May, about a third of Best Buy stores in the U.S. will be reconfiguring their home entertainment departments to make away for a new feature: "The Sony Experience at Best Buy." It's the latest instance of the electronics chain introducing a flashy store-within-the-store dedicated to one brand–something it did last year with both Samsung mobile gadgets and PCs running Microsoft's Windows.
Canon and Panasonic introduce two cameras that take giant technological steps.
When you think of Sony, the first things that probably come to mind are TVs, home theater systems, and Blu-Ray players. Not tablets or Ultrabooks. And definitely not smartphones.

Active Questions
|Guys / 4:37 PM - Wednesday July 21, 2010
Why do guys call me ugly?
Lots of people say I am pretty... but there are about 3 guys that say I am ugly and make fun of me. I have tryed laughing it off, saying something back, and egnoring it... but it always makes my self esteem lower...I hate looking in the mirror and wondering weather I REALLY AM ugly or not...[its only about 3 guys]I would love advice... thank you. [and please, nothing mean]
- Asked by Girl, 18-21
guys are stupid, and they probably just have a crush on you, or are trying to flirt. guys say mean things to girls sometimes when they like them, so they probably really think you're gorgeous :-)
- Response by gospark80, A Social Butterfly, Girl, 18-21
That's horible! Those guys obviously have zero clue wht they're talking about. Don't ever doubt that you are beautiful(:
- Response by lollipop730, An Arty Girl, Girl, 17, Student
Honestly, they're just jerks who are bored with their own lame lives and think that they need to make lies & stupid jokes.
- Response by ButterflyLove_016, A Beauty Expert, Girl, 18-21, Student
Its only because they are intimidated by u....they see that u are pretty and wish they could have u by their side!!!Dont take their hate they are just looking for someone to pick on but remember u are pretty and those guys opions dont matter to u what really matters is how guys u like see u and how u see urself!!!
- Response by Kristen-5, A Social Butterfly, Girl, 17
Um, this comment isn't to be mean, but why do u care? Really, the only person who should be the judge of that is yourself. If someone said your ugly, then who really cares? Don't let it bother you.
- Response by kasandra96, A Flirt, Girl, 18-21, Los Angeles, Student
I'm sure you are pretty, very very pretty (: But some guys are jerks. I mean, if there's nothing else wrong with you, their gonna say you're ugly when you're most likely not. And it's because their self conscious about themselves. You're always gonna meet guys that are like that, & their rude, & ridiculous. Just tell them to eff off, & move on. Don't let what they say get to you, because I'm sure it's not too.
- Response by kayswaggg, A Sports Star, Girl, 18-21
Don't pay attention to those jerks!!! And in your school it so happens to be that most of the people in school think your pretty! =)
- Response by divadancer3, A Do-Good Girl, Girl, 16, Student
Guys suck. Honestly, some of them just suck. A lot. You can't let 3 pathetic immature guys ruin your self esteem. It's not even worth it. If every other guy thinks that you're beautiful, then why does it matter what 3 guys think of you? It's not worth obsessing over.
- Response by chocolaterox24, A Beauty Expert, Girl, 18-21, San Francisco, Student
I say ignore them, and they will get the message. They want a reaction out of you, and you are giving in by talking back. Just brush it off.
- Response by kylierocksmusic, An Arty Girl, Girl, 18-21, Sacramento, Student
Guys are stupid. Sometimes guys say stuff like that teasingly because they like you (I don't know why they think it's a turn-on) and others say it just because they're immature and idiotic. Don't let it get to you. Next time they say it, just give them a remark like "wow that's mature" or something along those lines. Don't let them think it bothers you, because they might keep doing it. Don't let what they say effect your self-esteem. What really matters is what you think about yourself :D
- Response by lovesmusic99, A Pop Culture Queen, Girl, 18-21, Student
Don't listen to them. guys are stupid anyways. Guys will say things just to say it so other people think they're so big and cool. but they're not. All that matters is what you think of yourself. and girl, I'm pretty sure you're pretty, and those boys have no idea what they are talking about. You never know, they may be saying that stuff because they're jealous they can't get your for a gf or something. :)

Great fit, love the cargo pockets. Love the material the pants are made of.
although the quality of the pants is better than I expected, the pants are not as advertised. they are supposed to have an adjustable waist, they do not, they are supposed to have zippered air vents, they do not. I will make them work for me, but it would have been much better had they contained the features that made me buy them.
The Overstock price was less than*** and the suggested retail tag when I opened the box was ****. These are very high quality pants and have a feminine fit. I was very happy with the quality and would recommend these pants to anyone. Thank you Overstock!
These ski paints fit great, just below the waist. Nice not to wear high waist ski pants finally.

Warrantless cellphone tracking is legal, federal court rules
On Tuesday, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that law enforcement officials don't need a warrant to track suspects via cellphones. Attorneys argued to overturn Skinner's many convictions, citing that the GPS location information that led to the defendant's arrest was obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. This didn't wash with the majority of judges over the case, who voted in a 2-1 ruling.
