You would think that no one would take issue with the idea of getting rid of duplicative government websites.
At present, the federal government manages approximately 2,000 top-level Internet domains and close to 24,000 individual websites. The administration's goal is to shut down or consolidate 25 percent of the government's sites in the next few months and cut the number of domains by 1,000 in the next year.
The idea, part of the Obama administration's new Campaign to Cut Waste, might look good on paper. But in the larger context of the current budget crisis, the initiative struck many readers as a bit odd, if not laughable. Here is what they had to say. Comments have been edited for length, clarity and style.
Makes sense to me
Long overdue, but I'll believe it when I see it. Why do [the General Services Administration] and [the Defense Department] need buying portals that basically duplicate each other? Why does the federal government need…10 (last time I counted) websites about how to buy surplus property? (And most of them barely mention each other.) Why are there multiple websites for multiple Computers for Learning programs? I'm sure there are similar examples for all the government housekeeping functions.— Anonymous
One step forward…
At my agency, we are beginning to consolidate lots of "vanity" URL websites into one main website with each former "vanity" area as a subsection. The actual CPU utilization should be about the same, but the number of individual servers to maintain will decrease. But the bosses will think of some way to reuse those Windows servers. They cannot give up their Windows systems.— SOTE Contractor
I'm amazed. The first three years we were told to make operations more transparent, now we have to vacate the Web. Logical? I'm sure there are duplicate sources for information, but to tout the Recovery Act experience with its labor-intensive, manual data pull and thousands of hours of government labor to produce phony numbers is a joke. Let's set up an elaborate tracking infrastructure to account for the thimbleful of money the feds spend on the Web and proclaim us all "efficiency warriors." — WB
Oh, the bureaucracy
While it's admirable that the administration is going after…misspent dollars such as duplicative websites, in the current bloated federal government debate, I hear nothing about the real reason that federal expenditures are out of control. To a large extent, the underlying cause is all the bloated laws and regulations that require a huge workforce (both government and contractors) to manage them.— Larry George
Looks like they spend more on boards [and] committees than they save.— Horsecop
Let's hope that all the agencies with eliminated websites don't turn around and start printing hundreds of thousands of paper pamphlets and other mailings that will cost millions more to print and mail than websites do.— Joe in NYC

Mubarak embezzlement trial adjourned till March 19
An Egyptian court Wednesday adjourned the trial of ousted president Hosni Mubarak and his two sons Alaa and Gamal over charges of looting funds allocated for maintaining the presidential palaces till March 19, media reported.
The Mubaraks, along with other four defendants, were accused of embezzling 125 million Egyptian pounds ($17.9 million) earmarked for the renovation of the presidential palaces, Xinhua reported citing official news agency MENA .
Mubarak and his two sons used the public money for building and decorating their private villas and offices, the prosecution said.
The presiding judge, Osama Shaheen, ordered the postponement of the trial to give time the lawyers time to study the case's documents, bills and CDs.
He also ordered putting the four new defendants on the watch list and imposing a travel ban on them.
During the first session of the trail last August, the court referred the case back to the prosecution to add four new defendants who were holding administrative position of the maintenance project. The four defendants were accused of facilitating Mubarak and his sons' seizure of public funds.
From behind the dock, the ex-president and his two sons denied the accusations with Mubarak saying that "all the accusations mentioned by the general prosecution are baseless and have never happened".
Mubarak, who ruled Egypt for nearly three decades and was toppled in nationwide protests in January 2011, also faces the retrial for the killing of protesters during that unrest.
He was released from custody last August after exceeding the legal detention period, and settlement another case against him by reimbursing gifts he received from state-run Ahram institutions.
But Alaa and Gamal remain in jail on other corruption cases, such as exploiting public funds for their own interests and exporting natural gas to Israel at prices lower than the international market prices.

In his three years in Tempe, Todd Graham has certainly become known as someone who does not pull punches with anyone he deals with. Whether it be the fan base, the media, potential recruits or his own players, the head coach will voice his opinion and call it like he sees it.
This straightforward approach has helped him win over many of his critics and motivate his players to perform to the best of their ability. Case in point this spring, when Graham put a challenge to his defense, stating they were under-performing and criticized the lack of competition. He also singled out the defensive line, calling them "out of shape," and challenged Mo Latu to drop weight and raise his game. The unit responded in a big way in last Saturday's scrimmage, forcing a couple turnovers and shutting down an offense that had beaten them up for much of the spring, with Latu leading the way.
"One reason why you say whatever you think is because kids read it," Graham said with a smile after practice last week. "The D-line was a little p.o.'d and came out here and responded. I like how they responded."
"Came out with a purpose," Latu said, adding he took Graham's words to heart, saying he wanted to, "go out there and blow up everybody. If the whistle was blown, the whistle was blown. I was making sure I got my point across."
The redshirt sophomore has certainly gotten his point across with his work off the field as well, dropping 20 pounds since the end of last season, with the goal of getting to 330-335 by the fall.
Graham's motivation "scope" has also fallen on running back Deantre Lewis, who has struggled to get back to form, despite showing flashes last season. However, for the coach, that is not enough.
"He shows signs. I tell him, 'You (have to) quit showing signs. We got to get you up there consistently.' You can't come out here and practice in whatever mood you're in for that day. Champions bring it every single day. He's gotten better. If he came out here with a passion every day, the guy would be unstoppable. You couldn't keep him off the field. And that's what I try to explain to him."
Graham has one more week of spring sessions before the fall and, with nine defensive starters and several key offensive weapons to replace, coaching up players to move them up the depth chart is top priority. With his track record, Todd Graham has everyone's ear to what he will say next and how it will be reflected on the field.

Good food with good friends
Charlotte will be 8 months tomorrow! I can't believe it! We have had so much fun lately spending time with our mommy friends and being at the cafe. I never thought raising a baby in Japan would be this much fun. When I reflect on what we have been doing lately, I see how faithful God is to provide opportunities for community. We still miss Grandma and Grandpa, but we are able to see so many friends every day. Thank you Jesus!
We had Baby English last week and had over 30 mom and kids come to our Matsuri Festival (Summer Festival) which included banana splits, games, and a hot dog stand. We were surprised with such a great turnout! We were able to have a short lesson on thankfulness and then it was off to the festival. It was great to see so many old faces from last year. Most of the kiddos who attended had summer break from Yochien (japanese Kindergarten) and were able join.
It's such a blessing when we run out of space in the room we meet in and have to rethink where we are going to meet for next month's baby English. Below is a picture of a one of our kiddos in a traditional Japanese summer kimono.
This past Friday the cafe also hosted another open mic night in which my friend Miyako sang "How Great is God." We recently have also been able to get out of the city and take day trips to the more scenic places in Japan.

Day at the Zoo
Well it has been a long time since our last post and we have a lot of updates! Charlotte is 3 months old today and is growing so fast! She already went on her first subway yesterday. It is never to early to start learning how to navigate Nagoya;)
We recently were sad to see one of the families serving at CBI move to Osaka to start Genesis, a Christian business college, in one of the biggest cities in Japan. Although we are excited to see what God does with the new college.
Here is the CBI family including staff and seminary students at the Kim's going away party.
Here are some fun pictures of Charlotte.

An uncut 84 minute interview with DFW for German television, from 2003. Topics include Infinite Jest, "The Depressed Person," tennis, American individualism, entertainment as addiction, etc., etc. Doesn't really pertain to anything in particular, other than it's fascinating for Foster Wallace heads. Discussion question: Does the fact that he committed suicide invalidate his worldview or cast it in an unhealthy light? Consider not only Sylvia Plath, Ernest Hemingway, Kurt Cobain, etc., etc., but also those who attempted suicide and failed Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Pryor, et al.

Sun Plans are house designs warmed and brightened by the sun - naturally!
(Already know us? Go to page with over 100 house designs.)
- Sunny, open and creative
- Warm in winter, cool in summer
- Energy-
smarthomes adaptable for hot and cold climates
- Complementary to active solar and net-zero energy homes
- Adaptable to Energy Star, Passive House and other standards
- Comfortable inside no matter what is going on outside - power outages, heat, cold
- The Sun-Inspired House - one of the most comprehensive books about passive solar
A Sun Plan is a home design created with the Sun-Inspired Design process. Building a home may be the largest investment a family makes. Let architect Debra Rucker Coleman help protect that investment by right-sizing a home to meet the family's needs in terms of size, spaces, materials, climate, budget and other personal preferences. Resilient Design is one the driving design concepts. Sun Plans helps home owners be conservative - with both money and energy!
(If you need your home design sooner that suggested below, please do not hesitate to ask! We can often accommodate those with a much tighter deadline especially when creating a new design if you quickly make decisions on the many drawings sent for your review.)
A Sun-Inspired House is a sunny, creative, low-energy home that uses the natural heat and light of the sun to both warm and brighten a home. It incorporates passive systems to maintain interior comfort. It reflects the practical aspect of saving energy and money as well as the delightful characteristics of bright interiors.
Sun Plans feature bright interiors and energy bills at least 1/3 to 1/2 lower (or all the way to net-zero) compared to a new home built to code.
Sun Plans feature bright interiors and energy bills at least 1/3 to 1/2 lower (or all the way to net-zero) compared to a new home built to code.
While Create-A-SunPlan results in the lowest construction cost with a right-sized design with little wasted space for the rooms your family and lifestyle require, we realize that not everyone has the luxury of time to work with an architect. In that case, we hope that you find an existing Sun Plan with many of your desirable features. Each Sun Plan on this site evolved from a Create-A-SunPlan that began as a real home for a real family.
With over 20 years of designing low-energy, high-performance, passive solar homes, Architect Debra Rucker Coleman takes pride in the small, service-oriented company and personal involvement. With our uncluttered, ads-free website, we hope that you can relax while viewing our green, solar house plans and services.
Thank you for visiting. We look forward to hearing from you!
"I found your website via Google search and it's the only passive solar home plan website that I've found that 1) is well organized, 2) is easily searchable, 3) offers consulting services, and 4) offers both customized designs and off the shelf designs. THANK YOU!" Stephanie

so anyways, I find myself messing up hurting her then saying I won't do it again. we make up then I mess up again, ect,. and every time she gets closer to her breaking point. well, I did it again.
This new year's I couldn't make it 5 min. I was looking at some chick at a new year's party we were at that was a neighbors house on another street. Now we both have an understanding of what looking at someone and checking them out is. And I was not checking her out but I kept looking at her. and she kept looking back this happened all night long. And to top it off the chick lives 2 houses down from us. I know better than this... I shouldn't have been looking, period.
Shes been saying she's done and I believe her. and this kills me. while I have come far from bringing thoughts into my head when I look at a woman. but I still look. and worse they both know I looked(my G/F and the chick at the party. so that gave this chick power over my G/F. that she can turn my head.
so I keep telling her I'm gonna change, I'll do better, and it wont happen again. She will not believe me and for good damn reason. I've lied to her and said it all before. In one of our many talks about it she told me I knew better well before and know better now why would it be any different. I told her it's like a diet I keep trying and then cave, trying then cave again. I just don't understand why I keep looking. I don't want to. I know it hurts her but when I do it I'm not thinking of that. because I know I'm not desiring these women. HOW CAN I STOP?!?!?!?!
[This message edited by nogoodap1 at 6:00 PM, January 4th (Saturday)]
I can only control myself, no one else. I do not have that kind of power.
See I've wanted to look at these women for as long as I can remember. So how do I get rid of something so rooted? I know my thoughts we mainly "she looks like she should be on jersey shore" and why does she keep looking at me? But I kept looking back at her.....
I just don't understand why I keep looking. I don't want to.
It sounds like you are trying to "white knuckle" it
"Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few." Pythagoras
There are two kinds of people in the world.
Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
The best I can relate it to. Is like walking on a side walk. And you notice poo on the grass next to the sidewalk. Not one person is gonna want to look at poo. But you do as you pass and you don't know why. You arnt gonna step on it as long as you don't go off the sidewalk. So why concern yourself with it.
Now with that being said. I'm not trying to down play this situation. But I care about as much as looking at poo on the ground as looking at these women. I just can't find deep in me why I do.
Can you all elaborate on "white knuckle"? I'm thinking it's "do and hope I don't fail".
Have you ever held onto something so tightly your knuckles turned white?
Being an addict, in recovery, I can relate the phrase to drugs.
Wanting to use so badly it consumes your everything.
You can't stop thinking about it. But don't want to do it.
You obsess about it.
You're sick with the feeling of desperately wanting to use and desperately wanting not to use at the same time.
You hang on tight until the feeling passes.
It's not a pleasant feeling.
It had nothing to do with looking at poop. I have looked at poop on the sidewalk before, and I have "white knuckled" it before.
There is nothing alike about feeling silly for looking at a pile of poop, and trying so hard not to do something you desperately want to but don't want to at the same time.
"Your secrets keep you sick"
I've trained myself to look at certain "key areas" on women. So while I'm around a woman I tend to not keep my eyes to myself. While to a point I "want" to look but it's strange knowing that the original thought process is no longer there. So how can the "want" still be there? I can look at an ass in some jeans, it's no longer followed with interjecting thoughts of fantacy and wonder. Just why did I look at that. I didn't get anything from it... Or is it because I put a stop to the glance before the thoughts could arise?
I'm so confused. I want to fix me but don't know what the truth is anymore about anything. It's always filled with second guessing myself and contradictions when I try to analyze myself.
It's like I need to ask/be asked the right questions to unlock whats the truth. Because I don't even know it.
One look is an appreciation of the beauty of the female form.No harm, no foul.
And I was not checking her out but I kept looking at her. and she kept looking back this happened all night long.
More work needed I think. IC perhaps.
Not just, suck it up, I can overcome this.(white knuckling)

A thing I've learned from my girlfriend is that some women actually want the attention from guys and will dress and do make up to do so. And make a checklist in their head to see how many guys they can get to look their way. And I have given this woman who lives two houses down one up on my girlfriend. Even tho my mindset was probably not on the same page.
And to use the excuse of we are men. Is an excuse widely used to cover us up to do wrong by the women in our lives. It should also be suited to our affairs that hurt the women we are with. That we are genetically made to procreate as much and as often as possible. We are civilized beings. Not dogs.
I want to do IC but as I stated before I can't afford it.
[This message edited by nogoodap1 at 9:03 PM, January 4th (Saturday)]
This is blaming her (the girl at the party) and anything else you can grasp at instead of taking full responsibility. Regardless if you admit or not its subtil flirting you're still not owning it 100%.
The two of you, looking back and forth at each other all night is completely rude and disgusting. Come on. You should have turned your back towards her and engage with your GF or left.
This is why you are where you're at in your relationship. Own your shit.
[This message edited by stilllovinghim at 9:04 PM, January 4th (Saturday)]
All while trying to act like I didn't notice.
You had an awareness of her. Wherever she was. And she knew it. So did your GF.

Whoa, chill brother.
You have missed the point. "One look".
Is this better.
"Ok. We're human.
One look is an appreciation of the beauty of the human form. No harm, no foul."
Is this defensiveness/redirection because "subtle flirting" pushed a button?
[This message edited by SlowUptake at 9:49 PM, January 4th (Saturday)]
Then thats bringing attention to something I'm trying to deal with on my own so she has a good night. But my girlfriend is incredibly smart and in tune with everything. She's truly an incredible woman. And notices as well.
While I looked at this chick. I couldn't tell you one single thing other than her straight black hair "jersey shore look". I Don't know what her face looked like, Her body, Her tits, her ass. None of it. So if I was intentionally flirting with her I would remember these things I think. So where is my mind in all this!?!?! I'm not being defensive. And you are right I'm blaming her. And I shouldn't because I should worried about what I'm doing not some chick at a party.
Also the whole women wear makeup and dress up for the ego boost and attention of men? Yes a lot do that doesn't mean you have to reinforce it and many do it for the ego boost of looking in the mirror and feeling their best. You have a few disclaimers here the dressing up, the it wasn't intentional and the I couldnt help it unless I looked at the floor are all excuses. You looked at another woman all night while in a relationship with someone else. Now stop and start figuring out why.

No longer together
"To be loyal to myself is to allow myself to grow and change, and challenge who I am and what I think."
But every time I ask the question about why do I look at women and why can't I stop. I'm met with the response " you are a guy it's normal" I throw the BS flag down. That's an excuse much like the excuses some people make to justify their affairs when they have them. Then once they come clean and try to fix their relationship they realize the excuses are BS.
[This message edited by nogoodap1 at 10:10 PM, January 4th (Saturday)]
Then guess what happens. "Why the hell were you noticing her looking at you nogoodap1?"
But my girlfriend is incredibly smart and in tune with everything. She's truly an incredible woman. And notices as well.
Maybe she is pissed with you because you did not bring it up at the time and just buried your head in the sand hoping she wouldn't notice.
Perhaps you should ask her.
I'm met with the response " you are a guy it's normal" I throw the BS flag down. That's an excuse much like the excuses some people make to justify their affairs when they have them.
Couldn't agree with you more.
I just want people's theories on what either they have dealt with concerning the subject or what they think could be the root of it. So I have more ideas to bash around in my head. Maybe it's one thing or twelve. Anything is greatly appreciated.
In order for me to notice someone is looking at me is well notice someone is looking at me. Which is usually more than the one glance you are referring to. Which I do 97% of the time. I just want to fix the last 3% of me.
But she doesn't want me to look period and has a hard time believing Even if I look once. It was just me thinking girl and nothing more.
I just want people's theories on what either they have dealt with concerning the subject or what they think could be the root of it. So I have more ideas to bash around in my head. Maybe it's one thing or twelve. Anything is greatly appreciated.
IC will help. IMO bashing this around in your head alone will not get you there. I mean it was your head that got you here, right?
Is it
Looking because an attractive person came in your field of view and you think 'Mmmm, she's easy on the eyes, moving on now.'
or is it
Scanning the room looking for attractive people and you think 'Mmmm, she's easy on the eyes, moving on to the next one now.'
Each scenario is only 'once'.
Both are vastly different. One's being human, the other one is more than that. It's 'I'm single and looking'.
Could be a topic of discussion with your BGF.

First eye contact moment: Wow. That guy looks like Jersey Shore. (the 'notice' that SlowUptake referred to).
To my partner: Where's the bar?
Second eye contact moment. "Hey there's that guy again." But. I realize that I just walked into a room or a barrier-person just moved. I don't assume that he *wants* me. Movement draws attention. Something changed -- the people who are already there look to see what changed -- then I 'carry on' with trying to find the damn drinks. I don't assume that he *wants* me.
Third and subsequent eye contacts: "Why does that guy keep fucking staring at me??!!??"
Can you see the difference between *my* mindset and *yours*?
You are getting a *payoff* from this behavior. And what you are *getting* from it is hurting your SO and could cost you the relationship.
As far as the IC goes....where there is a will, there is a way. There are many free community resources and sliding scales IC's.
In my effort to be *concise*, I often come off as blunt and harsh. Sorry, don't mean to be offensive.
But as far as looking most of the time I ignore everyone around me because I couldn't care. But if someone does cross my field of view I turn away quickly and don't register what I see. But in the off chance I do register it's usually she was cute, don't look back. And I don't scan a room looking for targets anymore. That's too noticeable so I've stopped that because I got in trouble a lot with that.
But if someone does cross my field of view I turn away quickly and don't register what I see.
Don't turn away, appreciate it for a split second then move on.
I think you may find that the urge to scan or flirt by looking, will disapate.
Of course discuss this with your BGF to make sure she is comfortable with this possible solution.
My BS and I discussed it, she was Ok about it and it worked for me.
ETA: There is a huge difference between appreciation and lusting. Be careful.

So if you've ignored and turned away before, what made it different this time?
We were in a house not a bar. We would be talking in a circle so turning my head to talk to various people put my eye sight past her. To include talking to a friend who put her directly behind him to where I could see her looking at me. I don't go out to bars or what have you often. So usually its me getting milk and egg's from the store, or at work and its in passing and I'll never see these people after that (like passing a car on the other side of the road). So if I do look which is rare I stop myself before anything could happen and then they are gone so no worries.
We have talked about it and she get pissed when I stop for a split second when I notice someone. so that's not something shes ok with.

In deference to your BGF feelings, did she have this outlook before you cheated?
ETA:Don't worry about answering my question, just read your BGF's profile, I understand.

Honestly, I'm only speaking from my own experience but if your family is saying "poor you" in regards to wayward actions then maybe that message is coming through loud and clear to you. Maybe deep down you still feel entitled to look, exhange flirtatious glances. I'm only guessing here...not sure this is the case. But it seems that a lot of wayward behavior comes from a sense of entitlement. And obviously ego stroking. Again, just trying to get you thinking about why you exchanged glaces with this woman with your BG right there. Not that it is ok anytime.
If your internal dialogue is true, and you were doing something you knew was wrong, and you don't have an addiction, then you would have stopped. There must have been just a little something you were enjoying about it? Again, just exploring...not accusing.
Then thats bringing attention to something I'm trying to deal with on my own
This is from a post I will bump:
dysfunctional intimacy - Thinks things through in private; feelings unshared so no one knows decision process; internal dialogues unshared
I would bet a years salary that if you had shared the details of every interaction you had with your AP, as they were happening, with your BGF, you never would have had an A.
Our secrets grow in the dark but die in the light of exposure.
The lack of intimacy, the walls, the secrets, the "dealing on my own", is what makes A possible.
She knows you have a weakness. Keeping things to yourself does not protect her from it. Work together to overcome it.
Former 80s Icon wishful thinking
I'm hearing you on the budget issue and for that I have two solutions, both that work great for me. First, most therapists I know offer a MUCH lower price point for people that need financial assistance. All you need to do is ask, because in the end, therapists are healers and they WANT to help you..the best ones will make it work.
Second, go see the clergy. I'm NOT overly religious, but through the my own healing process I spend a lot of time with my priest. I'm not kidding you, but there are week's when I think he helps me more than the IC...and I guess you know he works for free!
Hang in there, but the answers are all inside your brain...you just need a little help to navigate.
I know I should talk but I'm afraid of opening up for fear of hurting her. Or it lead to an argument because we simply cannot talk it out. and you are right I would bet a decade's pay that I wouldn't have cheated if I told her what was happening while it was happening.
while I've thought about a SA 12 step I feel the group would be geared more towards something that isn't suited for me. While I feel as though it may be an addiction but not the same type that they would be dealing with there. While I was addicted to porn I have been clean for several months and have no plans to go back. It's not even a struggle. who knows I could be wrong. Not saying it's not an option. I feel as tho it would be like me attending a AA meeting and I have an addiction with mouth fresheners.
I looked at a list of counselors in my area. I'll do more research and go from there and see if I like any of them. Just kinda hard to tell if they are crappy or not or stand for what I believe in as far as where I want to be.

June BookScan--Top 20 Graphic Novels
Only One Big Two Title in Top 20
Published: 07/08/2013 02:50am
New 'Batman: Earth One' & 'Superman: Earth One' GNs"), was the only title from Marvel or DC in the top 20; it placed at #10. At least DC had a Superman title in the Top 20 the month Man of Steel came out; that's a feat Marvel was unable to match in May when Iron Man 3 had a huge opening.
Marvel and DC also had a rough June over on the comic store side, placing only two of the top seven and five of the top ten graphic novels in comic stores (see "Comic Market Growth Slowed in Q2").
There were two other titles based on Marvel and DC IP in the Bookscan Top 20: DK placed its DC and Avengers books, as it did last month (see "May BookScan--Top 20 Graphic Novels").
There were four The Walking Dead volumes in the Top 20, including the newest volume at #1. Saga Vol. 2 was the other Image title in the Top 20.
Perhaps the biggest positive move was the strength of manga, which took ten of the Top 20 slots. That wouldn't have been unusual a couple of years ago (except perhaps on the low side), but it's a rare showing of strength for the category these days. The new volumes of the two biggest manga titles, Naruto and Sailor Moon, repeated in the top five from last month, and the latest volume of the Naruto omnibus series also repeated. They were joined by new volumes Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal Vol. 3, One Piece Vol. 67, Alice in the Country of Clover, Skip Beat Vol. 31, Attack on Titan Vol. 1 (Kodansha) and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin HC (from Vertical); and a May Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix volume that didn't place last month.

At the most recent Modern Language Association convention (held in Chicago, January 9–12, 2014), I organized a panel (session 757) on "Alt-Ac Work and Gender: It's Not Plan B." Stephanie Murray gave a wonderful talk with a feminist perspective on thinking about the metaphor of the jungle gym as a way of exploring the dynamics and value of alternative-academic careers. And Amanda French delivered a moving and powerful paper that used email as an example of the value of "empathy work" as compared to "authority work." I don't know what their plans are for sharing their presentations, but there's a Storify that captured some of the tweets from the session. (Brian Croxall was part of the original panel proposal, but other commitments at the conference meant that he unfortunately had to withdraw. He published his proposed talk—which I hope he might someday expand!—on his site.) Continue reading

Make your own luck
What follows is a presentation I gave at the 2013 convention of the Modern Language Association (known fondly by many of us as #mla13) in the session "How Did I Get Here? Our "Altac" Jobs." The session was a roundtable discussion, with pecha kucha presentations, about "alternative academic" careers. You can watch the slides with my audio, or read the presentation and look at the slides on your own. My thanks to Brenda Bethman and Shaun Longstreet for organizing the panel and to my fellow panelists and to the audience for a great conversation.
"Make your own luck" (MLA 2013)
I am the Undergraduate Program Director at the Folger Shakespeare Library, a position I've held for six years. It's a job that combines working in one of the premier special collections of early modern literature and culture with teaching a small number of highly motivated and curious students. This is the story of how I got here.
I did a PhD in English, researching modern feminist performances of Shakespeare. After finishing, I was fortunate to get a two-year teaching postdoc, and after that, a one-year research postdoc. At the end of that, I got married to someone who had a job lined up in a Washington DC law firm, and so we moved and I started my life as an independent scholar.
I spent the next year writing my book at the Folger. During that time, I became friends with a local Shakespearean who told me that her department was looking for someone as a leave replacement. So I spent the next year teaching drama and composition at The George Washington University and the following year as an adjunct at George Mason, a job I found again through my Shakespeare friend.
Then I heard from my friend that the head of the Folger Institute wanted to take a year off. And so Gail recommended me to Kathleen, Kathleen went to write her book, and I ran the Institute for a year. At the end of that gig, another contact asked if I'd adjunct at Georgetown, covering his Shakespeare classes, and so my George-trifecta was complete.
At the end of my year at Georgetown I gave birth to my second child (I'd had the first one after my GW stint) and I spent the following year trying to catch my breath and work out how to mother two children with a spouse who was frequently traveling and parents who were aging more rapidly than I was ready to admit. The lesson I learned was that I was not cut out to stay at home.
Luckily, at that point my friend Gail, by now the Folger's Director, hired me as a consultant on a planning grant for developing undergraduate programming in book history at the Library. So I became an independent contractor, put together an implentation plan, and then became the inaugural Folger Undergraduate Program Director, a job that I love.
I've used the word "luckily" to describe how I got to this place, and I certainly benefitted from luck. I live in a town rich in possibilities for Shakespeare scholarship, and I know people who led me to temporary jobs and to my current career. And for a long time I thought of how I got here as a product of luck.
But another way to think about luck is to see it as the residue of design. I wasn't simply lucky. I worked hard—persistently and creatively—to be in a position to take advantage of opportunities that might come my way. I didn't always know what it was that I was working toward, but I was working nonetheless. So here's another version of the story of how I got my job.
While I was turning my dissertation into a book, I submitted an excerpt to Shakespeare Quarterly. My article wasn't accepted, but I had a nice correspondence with the editor and our paths later crossed at the Shakespeare Association conference. That editor was Gail Kern Paster, and when I moved down to Washington DC, we were both regulars at the Folger and we would chat about our research.
Because she knew my work, she recommended me to fill in at GW. Because I knew the Folger as a reader and program participant, had administrative experience from grad school, and was an active scholar in Shakespeare circles, I was a good fit for the Institute. By this point, I'd come to know the Folger's culture and resources and that of faculty, students, and administrators at three of the area's largest schools.
I'd built a network of colleagues across Washington DC and across the Shakespeare community. When the Folger needed to hire someone who knew the Library and local schools, who had the administrative skills and the intellectual breadth to set up a new program, I met those needs. It wasn't luck that I got my job, it was years of hard work.
Despite what I've just said—what I firmly believe about how I came to this #altac career—it took me a long time to believe that I hadn't just accidentally lucked into it. I'd never intended to do this line of work. I'd intended to be a tenured faculty member; I spent years on the job market trying to get a job like that. But I didn't.
Because of that history, among other things, it was hard for me to see the planning that had gone into my good fortune. Because I didn't get what I thought I wanted, I didn't think I deserved the thing I'd gotten. As some of you no doubt know, it's really hard to come out of an unsuccessful job search without feeling like you've failed, that you've fallen short.
In my case, that feeling was exacerbated by the shape my family life had taken. My low-paying jobs were made possible by my spouse's high-paying job, and while I was grateful, I also felt like a kept woman. Add to that the problem that his career wasn't highly relocatable, and that once we had kids, it was not going to be practical for me to live apart from them.
With only part-time work coming my way and small children to raise, I squeezed my teaching and my writing into the hours I had childcare and spent the rest of my time playing and teaching and coaxing my kids to eat and nap and use the toilet and make friends and give me kisses, and while I loved my family, I was exhausted.
How grateful I was, then, to have a real job! How fortunate to be dealt such good luck! Gail Collins, in mulling over Hillary Clinton's wide-ranging and impressive career to date, with its twists and turns from despised to beloved, wrote that she has played the cards she's dealt. That's one way to look at it. But I prefer Hillary's answer:
"I choose my cards. I choose them. I play them to the best of my ability. Move on to the next hand." There's nothing particularly wrong with seeing yourself as the beneficiary of good fortune, except for its flip side: if you got where you are by luck and then your luck dries up? You'll never get anywhere again. You'll never be more than your spouse's appendage.
My point here is that I might not have been actively planning my #altac career, but I was keeping my eye open for opportunities to learn new skills and to meet potential colleagues. The years I thought I was nothing but lucky were the years I was unhappy and insecure. Once I realized my own strengths, I knew I could succeed at other things I wanted to do.
Here's one thing I went on to do: I knew the Folger needed to do a better job explaining the scholarship we do in publicly accessible terms, and I knew that I could do this. Since my job with the Undergraduate Program was ¾ time, I had ¼ of my time I was willing to use to start a new blog for the Library. And I so convinced them to hire me to start The Collation.
Whether you're looking for an #altac career or you're not, my biggest piece of advice to you is not to wait for a giant hand to point you in the right direction. If you don't know where you're going, you're not going to see signposts leading you there. You need to make your own luck and trust that you'll recognize your place when you arrive.
early modern women printers: an Ada Lovelace post
Today is Ada Lovelace Day. Ada Lovelace is often referred to as the first computer programmer, based on her 1842 treatise on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine; Ada Lovelace Day began in 2009 as a way of increasing the profile of women in Science, Engineering, Technology, and Math (commonly referred to as STEM fields).
I'm not in a STEM field (though I'm the almuna of a college that prides itself on turning out huge numbers of women who are). But you know who we could see as being early STEM pioneers? Printers. Early modern printers were using a new technology that had a radical impact on their world. And you know who we find in printing in early modern London? Women.
Here's a fun thing to try: search the ESTC's publisher field for "widow." There's 352 results! Now trying searching for "Elizabeth": 405 results! Jane? 112!
I do an exercise with my students on using the Stationers' Register and during the course of tracing one book's passage through the Register, we come across three different women who printed or published the book. It's sort of an accident that that's the book we work with it, but it's a really effective exercise. My students are always shocked that there are women working as printers in this period. But why is it so shocking?
I suspect that it is, in part, because we have become so used to thinking about the early modern period as being repressive for women. Chaste, silent, and obedient. But that's an assumption that blinds us to the lives of actual women in early modern England. Women might have been supposed to pass from father's household to husband's without ever being subjects in their own right. But if you look at the records, you find women owning property and conducting business. Not just one or two, but handfuls of women. I'm not going to claim that the opposite of "chaste, silent, obedient" is true—women were not by any means empowered or enfranchised—but our blind spots shouldn't mean that we don't reconsider our assumptions when we start to see what we've been missing. How many of the unnamed printers in imprints are women?
I don't know very much about the history of women printers in this period, or about female labor, but there's a book coming out next year that should help me get a better sense of the range of activities: Helen Smith's "Grossly Material Things": Women and Book Production in Early Modern England. If you can't wait that long, you can check out her article in TEXT on the subject. And there are a couple of sites out there to start filling in some gaps: a blog post about the early American printer Dinah Nuthead and an exhibition from the University of Illinois library. The more traces of this history I find, the more I want to learn!
And it matters that we learn these things. It matters that we understand the past as a variegated and nuanced time in part because it enables us to see our own time that way. It matters that we remember Ada Lovelace and Rosalind
Crick Franklin and Elizabeth Allde because it matters that they contributed to our knowledge of the world and that we can contribute too.
UPDATE: What a horrible thing to mistype Rosalind Franklin's name in a post about women pioneers in STEM fields and to give her Francis Crick's last name instead! I've fixed it now. Go read about her and then go read Kate Beaton's comic in Hark, a vagrant.

The last 'Falling Skies' episode "Homecoming" saw Hal and Maggie stumbling upon a seemingly liberated Karen, while Weaver fought off a deadly infection and Ben made a choice over whether or not he can stay with the 2nd Mass. So, how does "Molon Labe" keep things moving?
Read on for your in-depth recap of everything you need to know about 'Falling Skies' season 2 episode 7, "Molon Labe!"

Kitchens with Patina
Patina is something we love to see in the home: it gives a sense of age and use and quality materials that stand the test of time. What better place to find these characteristics than in the kitchen?
Every time you begin to feel your kitchen is a little worn out or dated, just remind yourself that it's got patina! It can show up in many places, as found in the kitchens here:
- 1: Metal cookware and cabinet pulls Choose unlacquered metals that will come to show fingerprints from handling.
- 2, 3: Wooden cabinetry Solid weathered wood can be much more beautiful than perfectly-finished veneer.
- 4: An antique marble slab Let coffee rings and wine stains tell their story instead of worrying about polishing.
- 5: Stone flooring It might be cold, but it will endure the ages (and can be warmed up with a rug!).

#2 & 3 are my favs
I just purchased an old pine dining table that I love. It has so much patina. Every time I look at it, I can't help but wonder about the conversations or meals had around it.
Love #3.
My dream kitchen is one that looks like a Vermeer painting... *sigh*, someday?

One thing I have repeatedly stated over the past couple years is that Pittsburgh Pirates' general manager Neal Huntington and his staff deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to moves made or even not made.
At the minimum, Huntington has earned that much.
However not even I could make the case that throwing $5 million at starting pitcher Edinson Volquez was the right move.
This is the same Volquez that was awful the past six seasons with three different teams, but still got a $5 million deal in December to be the Pirates' No. 5 starter.
This is the same Volquez that got lit up like a Christmas tree in spring training with a 9.64 ERA and a 1.86 WHIP in five games.
Yet, maybe Huntington got it right again.
Pirates' manager Clint Hurdle preached patience with Volquez while he was getting pounded during the spring, but judging by his first three starts – including Thursday night's effort in which he earned his first win in a Pirates uniform by tossing seven strong innings – that patience just might pay off for the Bucs.
Volquez has been nothing short of surprising in a Pirates uniform so far, as he leads the team and ranks among the National League's top 10 starters in ERA (1.71) and WHIP (0.95).
To be honest, no one would have predicted a solid start coming out of the gates for Volquez, but he has given the Pirates pitching staff a nice shot in the arm.
A guy noted for his control issues, Volquez is having great success getting ahead in the count. He has thrown first-pitch strikes 61 percent of the time so far this season, easily the best mark of his career.
Against the Brewers Thursday night, he threw first pitch strikes to 16 of the 28 batters he faced and 53 of his 77 pitches were in the strike zone.
Volquez has also been making quick work of batters, as he retired 20 Brewers hitters in three pitches or fewer. That is a recipe for success.
With that being said, its way too early to crown Volquez the ace of the Pirates staff as quite simply three outings is a small sample size. But the results are very encouraging.
At the end of the day though, Volquez could be just another example of why Pirates' fans should put more faith in Huntington. More often than not, he makes the right moves.

Hello everyone! I hope you didn't miss me too much. Just finished up another busy tax season, got promoted at my day job and tried to see my family in between. It's been nuts! During that time, I also kept the wheels a turnin' on our epic Hawaii trip plans. Last we left off, I had put all the puzzle pieces together on getting 7 free tickets to Hawaii for our family, and was about to book the tickets. Let's see how that turned out. 7 Free Roundtrip Tickets To Hawaii We are heading to Hawaii to celebrate my mother-in-law's 50th birthday, and to have a 10 day getaway from reality.

You Are Being Boiled Alive
I am never one to place financial blame on the government, or corporations, or anyone else for your financial problems. Those problems are yours, and you have MUCH more control over them than society thinks. But the majority of people I help through my financial coaching just don't see the impact of all the small expenses in their budget. I always try to show them the long term impact of these things, and many people are shocked at how a few simple items could delay their retirement a few years! Yes, the latte factor is in full effect, but this time it's not lattes killing the … [Read more...]
Your Ideal Budget: Family Of Four |$40,000 Income
I love all things budget. And having put together quite a few budgets over the years, and worked with many people on this very site to create a financial plan, I have seen a few trends. I have also been able to find ways to save money in almost ANY budget category for our family, and for the family of those who I have coached. I have found that most everyone has unique goals and aspirations for their life, but there are a LOT of commonalities for ways to reach those goals. So I have decided to create "Your Ideal Budget", a place where I put together the IDEAL BUDGET for individuals and … [Read more...]
Reader Question: How Do I Convince My Wife That Used Cars Are Awesome?
I love my readers. Not sure if I've said that before. But I do! You send me awesome questions, which I get to answer, and often they are thought-provoking enough to turn into a fun post. Today's reader question bring me it back to one of the most costly and wasteful things we spend our money on: new cars.

How To Save Money: Use Priceblink
Ok, here's the deal. Most, if not all, of you shop online. Let's face it. It's convenient (no getting off my butt to buy stuff) and usually cheaper (no storefront = less overhead costs = savings to you) and can be downright frustrating! Where do I find the best deal? How much is shipping? Does this product even have good reviews? These questions run through your head every time it's time to make a purchase online. And they should. Finding the best deal on ANYTHING takes some research and thought to make sure you are getting the best product for the best price. But today I want to talk … [Read more...]
How Facebook Is Emptying Your Wallet
Facebook is no longer a fad. ("Really Jake? This is 2014. And you just figured this out?"). Yes. I'm a little slow. Sorry. But what I mean is that Facebook has replaced a lot of social norms that used to occur OUTSIDE OF THE INTERNET. Things like saying "hi" or "happy birthday" no longer involve going anywhere, or even picking up a phone. No, most social interaction these days involves Facebook. And I'm ok with that. But you need to be aware of how it affects you, and the world around you. Specifically, I want to talk about the financial implications of Facebook on your personal … [Read more...]
Personal Finance Rap Video
Yes. You read that right. My buddy Matt over at Listen Money Matters is talented. Not only does he have a wicked-cool site and podcast, but apparently he can rap.

$500 In Free Travel: Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite MasterCard Review
Free Travel has obviously become a passion of mine over the last 18 months. I went from rockin' a cash-only budget, to booking a Free Trip To Hawaii in less than 2 years, and it just gets better and better. But this did take a little bit of work. I did a few months of research and analysis before jumping into the credit card rewards game, and had figured out the fun tricks to get us free flights and hotels. I signed up for all the best bonus cards, redeemed for 3+ trips last year, and reaped about $10,000 in travel rewards in 2013 alone! But deep down, I really wished that all the rewards … [Read more...]

I seem to be the resident tech support for my family and friends... They find it easier to call me the Centurylink support. Since this morning only a handful of sites route properly. After asking me to tear apart my network to "bypass" my router they confirmed an outage and supposedly it's effecting the entire state. I'm in Knox but friends over in North Judson let me know they are down as well... ETA I'm being given is tomorrow by 10 AM. Since I work from home using this connection apparently that means I'm off... Anyone else down? If so what are you being told for ETA?
Yeah, I'm down here too and I heard the exact same thing from the Centurylink Business support line. Supposed to be back up by 10 am tomorrow and it's statewide. I can get to google, and a few other places and that's it. These exact kind of outages have been happening almost weekly though, but only for short time periods (15 minutes or so). This one being 24 hours is really worrisome.
Yup, it's down for me also, I called about this everytime it happened and they always insisted it was something on my end, well when you ignore a problem long enough it will cause a state wide outage.
I work for a large business in North East Indiana and we have some small offices using CenturyLink SDSL lines which are out. Everyone here who personally has CenturyLink DSL is also down. We have been told that longer than 10AM tomorrow may be expected.
I'm back up now for what it's worth.
I'm back up now for what it's worth.
and it started again for me.
It's intermittent in the northwest region near Warsaw. It was on for 30 minutes then down for 15, then back up for 20min and down again for 5 min, since about 6pm. I don't even try to call tech service anymore, it's always the same....check my end, nothing on theirs, will send someone out tomorrow and a few hours later it is fine. I just check the forums and see if anyone else is having issues, if so then I know it'll work later.
Well earlier today they where giving people in Warsaw, at least me, a message saying it would be fixed by March 22nd 10 AM.Edit: Anyone's ping up after these outages? I used to only around 20 to google, now I'm at 66. Not a huge change but it would probably impact gaming.

Im in Wheatfield and I am still out called yesterday they said 10 am too. I'm on my phone at the moment, but I alsowork from home. They better have it back up asap, they gave me no legit reason, just that its state wide.
They probably have a downed router somewhere on a major backbone and are trying to route around it. That would explain the higher than normal pings... Since I am able to get a route back to our Chicago office I just VPN into work and can get to sites that are otherwise not loading on the Centurylink connection. I don't think I am having issue's today so far but all my traffic is still being pushed through the VPN and routing from Chicago.
Was down here in Bremen as well. After dealing with the usual machine response telling me the ETA was 10:22AM 3/21/2013. Had noticed, that even though websites like google wouldn't load, I could still run a tracert to google and noticed something new, there was a new hop I've never seen before within CenturyLink's network(in regards to comparison with all other tracerts I've ran to google). Now that everything is working again, that new hop is no longer there. Perhaps they tried adding new equipment and something went wrong?Or indeed a router went down and they tried a by-pass?in regards to Ciendra, I too noticed every so often a website would load that otherwise wasn't loading, only to click a link to progress through the website and get stuck. Finally straightened out for me around 2am this morning.EmoHobo, I noticed during the "outage" pings to google, for me averaged between 55-75ms when normally averages 12-17ms. Granted, still no where near as bad as the 800-1300ms I get between 3PM-Midnight every day.
We were out both at our shop and home yesterday. Strangely, sometimes direct IP would work - I could get to Google using their IP address directly and see search results, but DNS was dead (even using Google DNS or openDNS) and the links all failed.Today we're up but at about half speed (pulling 5, maybe 7 on a 10Mb connection that usually delivers) and ping is as bad as 106ms and best I've seen is 47. It's also routing to a test server up near Chicago vs. the Indy area servers. I think they're still having trouble and agree that they're routing traffic funny-wise, but at least we can work.
Haven't experienced the ping issue on my end, seems to be stable, for now. Speedwise, being that I only have a 4.0mb down service(due to distance all I can get from them), testing averages 32ms with d/l of 3.78mb u/l of 0.38mb. Before all this happened, ping around the same, but d/l was never below 4.12mb.
I/m still down and have been since 3/21. I may have to ask for a discount on my bill. My modem looks like it's connected but I can't browse the internet. I wonder if it's a DNS problem.

good luck with getting a credit from them
So since this how is everyone holding up? I've had a great connection since then, my first outage was just a few minutes ago and it lasted 5 minutes at most.My service has increased by a lot.
Other than the occassional drops during thunderstorms it has been reliable for me.
I just had another.
I had an issue a few months back, where any applications that where already connected would stay connected just fine but any websites I'd try to visit or applications I'd try to connect to the net with wouldn't work. CenturyLink found an area in my issue and they fixed it after a few days without net.I can't tell if the issue has returned or if it's my modem, as I reenabled the wireless, protected by a key and all that so only I can use it, but I fear that may be causing the issue. I wanted to know if anyone else is getting this or is it just me?
I called Century Link and they said there is an issue in my area, but it didn't sound like it was related to my problem, but here's hoping it is.
They said they should of had this fixed by now but now I'm getting horrible packet loss and internet that is very slow.
I'm over by Plymouth and have 10 Mb. service. My download speed was about .5 Mb. all weekend. Last night it was back up for a while.
They recently fix a balance load between Plymouth and Columbia City. That fix my issue in Avilla. Not sure if this has any effect on your area though.

Coral Rekindling Venus a film by Lynette Walworth.
Imagine global co-operation for a global problem. Imagine corals as the barometer of climate change. Imagine we are the pivot point. Imagine rekindling Venus.
My intent is to leave the audience with a sense of wonder for the complexity of the coral community and a deep-felt longing to see it survive.
What is apparent when you watch the film is the remarkable survival mechanisms already at play in the community of coral reefs, mechanisms that will be put to the test in the coming years. We might see ourselves as two different communities interconnected in our own survival.

Graphene Makes Water Purification More Efficient
The availability of fresh water is dwindling in many parts of the world, a problem that is expected to grow with populations. One promising source of potable water is the world's virtually limitless supply of seawater, but so far desalination technology has been too expensive for widespread use.
Now, MIT researchers have come up with a new approach using a different kind of filtration material: sheets of graphene, a one-atom-thick form of the element carbon, which they say can be far more efficient and possibly less expensive than existing desalination systems.

[sharing] Weekly Scheduler
Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)
I put together a scheduler that will allow events to be cued by the hour. It has a user interface that lets you copy and paste days or weeks so that complex schedules can be made repeating more easily.
You start by putting files or folders to be scheduled within the Presets folder, then choose the ones you would like to include in the schedule using the eight menus (channels as I call them).
As you assign flies or folders to the channels, they will be added to the menu in the scheduler subpatch.
To schedule the channels into hour blocks, choose the one you want in the menu, then click in any block you want it to be added to (very quick compared to other ways of filling cells).
As you fill in blocks, the schedule data will be saved to disk at regular intervals so as not to get lost, in the Schedule folder.
Thanks Terry McDermott for figuring out most of the date calculations I needed.

From my POV as a developer of native BlackBerry Business Apps I really recommend to develop for this platform. BlackBerry 10 OS and Cascades enable developers to write business apps focussed on smooth workflows and productivity. As soon as I'm demonstrating my apps to Enterprise Customers there's no more discussion about using BB10 as platform or not. Productivity counts.
I couldn't write same kind of apps on Android or iOS.
It's great that BB10 also supports Android Apps in private perimeter - so users can have the games they want for your spare time and on the other side inside the work perimeter they get a secure environment.Combine this with future projects like Ion for secure IoT Cloud or eBBM for secure communication: who will name this a dying platform ?

One of my favorite traditions for Thanksgiving is the Children's Table. It's a table decorated just for the youngest members of the family – say 10 years old and under. In our house, Thanksgiving Dinner takes place around three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Needless to say, if the kids are not occupied with activities, waiting for dinner to be ready can be a challenge!
At the children's table, I like to provide activities, decorations, and more just for the kids! Here are some ideas you might like to use:
- Cover the table with brown paper (such as paper grocery bags cut up or packing paper) and provide crayons for the kids to decorate their "tablecloth."
- Have the children make the center piece, place cards, and napkin rings. Then, they can help set their table and make it pretty!
- Provide Thanksgiving coloring sheets and crayons or markers.
- Offer easy to assemble crafts such as Pilgrims hats and Bonnets or Native American Headdresses.
- Have the children decorate place mats that you print. Cut them out and glue to orange or brown construction paper. Then decorate the table with them.
- Make fun turkeys for kids to take home after dinner is over.
- Don't forget to provide some fun desserts for the kids, too!
Make this Thanksgiving a day the kids won't forget!

It was inevitable that the left-handed first baseman would be out of Pittsburgh. Pirates first baseman Travis Ishikawa was designated for assignment Friday. After clearing waivers on Wednesday, according to Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish, he was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis by Pittsburgh. Since he had been outrighted to the minors previously before, he had the option of rejecting the minor league assignment in favor of another opportunity with another major-league team by electing free agency. As expected, Ishikawa rejected his assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis and elected free agency, sources tell Zach Links of MLB Trade Rumors.
Ishikawa was platooning over at first base as a left-handed hitter with Gaby Sanchez. He realized that his time with Pittsburgh had come to an end when the Pirates had acquired first baseman Ike Davis from the Mets in exchange for minor league prospect Zach Thornton and a player to be named later. The player to be named later will likely be determined after the 2014 First Year Player's Draft in June, because the PTBNL will most likely be a player from last year's draft of high caliber.
Ike Davis is a major upgrade over Travis Ishikawa. The Pirates had been previously rumored to be looking to acquire the first baseman, but went with Ishikawa to start the season. Through the first six games of the season, Ishikawa batted .294 with one home run and three runs batted in. In his next nine games, however, Ishikawa had only two hits in seventeen at-bats as his average fell to a low .206 on the 2014 season. Ishikawa is a lifetime .257/.321/.397 hitter, which has made him a prime candidate to being a platoon first baseman.

Mid West Nu metal band from Springfield Illinois with a sound unlike any other. With musical influences from old school mudvayne to Norma Jean. Manik is a perfect description of what they bring to the table! Real emotion conveyed in music!
