Those of you who read the rule "College is for Suckers" might remember me saying: "Life is math, and math is hard."
That little gem comes to mind because I ran the numbers on the national minimum wage and was surprised when the range was between $9-$10 (EDIT: The original number was exactly $9.60). That was a rough estimate for an acceptable national minimum wage that would meet specific criteria:
1) Not harm Business
2) Boost the Economy
3) Reduce Working Poverty
When it looked like Michigan was going to raise the State Minimum Wage to $9.25 the drive to dig deeper waned as it was on the lower end of my first numbers. That was until Thursday July 24th when the legislature out maneuvered it's people who wanted a vote on making $10.10 the Michigan standard. On Friday Kristen Bell graced my laptop with a parody of Mary Poppins which got me thinking about those numbers again.
Dipping my toe into the conversation was extremely boring after finding out most people seem to have similar opinions. Kristen Bell, Tea Party Activists, and the overly clever tactics of Michigan legislators re-peaked an interest. Maybe there was more to this debate?
Many things happened in the 1900's to drive the United States into a global powerhouse. I'm sure citizens in the 1800's would be awestruck and unbelievable upset with our current state of affairs. So here are the numbers with a few quick facts.
1) Australia has a national minimum wage, which is over DOUBLE the United States, of $640.90 per week or $16.87 per hour. They also have a national public health option that coexists with private insurers. Yet some how they manage to have constant GDP growth.
2) Originally the courts deemed the National Minimum Wage unconstitutional. It wasn't until 1938 that congress passed a bill that would stick. President Roosevelt struggled to get it passed, which makes it no surprise President Obama has met strong opposition.
3) The original minimum wage in 1938 was $0.25 an hour. That means people earned about $2 a day, $10 a week, $40 a month, or $520 a year minimum in 1938. The average white family that same year made $2,252. That means minimum wage started at less than HALF of "The American Dream" for families with even two incomes.
4) Congress continually amended the minimum wage, with the exception of WWII, almost every year since 1938; until 1981 when the minimum wage was frozen for 9 years. There was a recession in the early 1990's which lead to President Gorge Bush Senior's defeat for presidency in 1992. The minimum wage was again frozen from 1997 to 2007, which ironically was followed by a recession.
5) Inflation was -2.1% for the first year the minimum wage was enacted in 1938. Inflation was -1.4% When congress raised the minimum wage for the first time in 1939. That would be the last time the United States would see consecutive years of Negative inflation, or Deflation.
6) Economist seem to agree that Deflation is more destructive to an economy then Inflation. Starting in 1968 the United States would see inflation go between 4.2% to a high of 13.5% in 1980 which contributed to the minimum wage being frozen in 1981. To much inflation will still destroy an economy.
7) Many people calling for a raise in the National Minimum Wage want the amount to adjust with the rate of inflation. That sounds good but if the minimum wage had started with that caveat in 1938 the minimum wage would be $3.98 OR $4.21 excluding deflationary years; 1981 would be $9.33 OR $9.37 excluding deflation; 1997 would be $7.53 OR $7.56. Adjusting the minimum wage based on inflation ignores all other economic factors, cultural changes, and human nature.
8) The minimum wage followed GDP growth until the 1970's when it changed to follow inflation. "If the minimum wage had kept pace with productivity growth it would be $16.54 in 2012 dollars." Wealth disparity hasn't been this great since the 1920's, which was followed by the great depression.
9) Even though the majority of Americans would support a minimum wage increase, the increase wouldn't effect the pay for the majority of Americans. In the short term it's projected that this raise will actually CUT minimum wage jobs but those who are working are far less likely to fall below the poverty line and need government assistance. The wealthy are screaming "Class Warfare" because the same figures project that those who make six times the poverty threshold or more will foot the bill for this change.
What did I learn? That I must be wrong.
"Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong." – Oscar Wild
To many people share my opinion on a national minimum wage increase. Politicians would like people to think other wise. Both sides are feeding the American public tall tales. According to the bill that failed in April, raising the minimum wage would have been linked to the Consumer Price index rounded to the nearest $0.05 as determined by the secretary. Tipped wages would increase steadily until they where 70% of the Federal Minimum Wage. It also had a section at the end labeled "Extension of increased expensing limitations and treatment of certain real property as section 179 property" which doesn't matter as the bill failed.
The bill didn't account for several factors:
1) The minimum wage is suppose to be the lowest common denominator for the entire country.
2) If we see deflation the minimum wage requires an act of congress to adjust down.
3) Prices don't constantly increase, they follow supply and demand cycles.
If you're against a federal minimum wage increase, my numbers suggest it's time to throw in the towel. By agreeing to an increase of $9-$10 an hour with an annual change adjusted to the rate of inflation you give your opponents their victory. If there is deflation wages go down. With inflation wages go up but not with Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Short term you'll see a little pain but the wealthy tend to focus on their long game. In the end you come out victorious. Those who continually increase the country's GDP would secured success and growth of all future élite status. By playing the numbers and charts you've out maneuvered the opposition by giving them exactly what they want.
Are you for the federal minimum wage increase? Be very specific on what you're asking for. Are wages currently unfair? Yes! Do you want to repeat the 1930's? Lets hope not. Is it worth selling your future earnings for a little extra comfort now? Hell No!
Americans know that the current system is unfair but they don't know why. Don't let emotion cloud your judgment. By giving in to the GOP with a lower national minimum wage, even if it's $8 an hour, you win; but there needs to be a caveat that congress shall pass a bill every year to change that number or reestablish the current wage. If no bill passes then the wage stays the same. What this does is keep congress talking about what's in the best interest of the country and makes them accountable with public voting records. This allows those we elect, who are supposed to know all the factors, to act under current economic and cultural conditions. If the people are unhappy, they can tell congress with their votes.
Either way, both sides don't realize giving their opposition what they want is a long-term victory. If the minimum wage needs to be raised in your state or city then your elected officials can set a separate standard! The national level is supposed to be the bottom of the barrel and set lower on purpose. The fact that States and other municipalities are taking control of the issue proves the system can work as designed.
Sadly the human element is the last thing we account for. The minimum wage essentially creates a government-run union. When people see a negotiated minimum they shoot for the minimum instead of using standard supply, demand, and value comparisons. Long gone are the days of Henry Ford…
There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: make the best quality goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible. – Henry Ford
This conflict over the minimum wage seems to be holding America back in more ways than one.

One thing I've repeatedly said about traveling is "it's never the place, it's the people you have to enjoy it with." After a full day in Panama the country seems like the perfect exception that proves the rule.
I was expecting a lot of anti-Americanism for many reasons, like the 1989 U.S.A invasion, and reading the State Departments Travel and Safety risk assessment had strongly reinforced this. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Keep in mind though, our trip involves Panama City and some surrounding areas so your mileage will vary.
Saturday was the only day Mike and I didn't have anything planned. Somehow I ended up hijacking it. Mike had gathered information from our tour guide and hotel staff with an idea of what we should do but as we started walking I couldn't help but just keep walking.
There's something about walking a busy city that gets me pumped. I could feel myself get more and more energetic with every step; curious about what we'd find around every corner. Eventually we found our way to the coast line and couldn't believe how beautifully developed the city was. Along the coast was a public trail for biking and every block seemed to have activities and parks.
Mike had to stop and do a double take as we walked past outdoor exercise equipment! I was more interested in how tactical the police officers were dressed. They all wore bullet proof vests and military style uniforms. Some road bikes, others walked, but there wasn't a question they where there patrolling the areas to keep the peace. Normal people apparently don't ask people dressed for confrontation about taking their photo… I couldn't help myself. The officers didn't even hesitate, they just struck a pose and continued on with their duties.
A few minutes later we ran across our first street vendor. Real Shaved ice topped with sweetened fruit juice and what I believe is a coconut milk syrup. Across the street was a statue of the conquistador Balboa.
Not long after that we ran into a bunch of historic fire fighting vehicles. The man setting up the display was kind enough to let me get a video of him turning the siren.
Less than an hour into the day and we couldn't stop finding little things to halt us in our tracks. Even manged to get Mike to let me photograph him climbing on a jungle gym. After each playground all I could think was "another one?" It was kid heaven. Adult sized me was struggling with play-time. While we could climb on some of the structures my knees became a constant reminder of how this equipment wasn't meant for adults. *SigH*
Walking along the path was a fantastic way to get to know Panama City. Eventually we stumbled upon the fish market. Later finding out that it was the same Fish Market Anthony Bourdain recommended and could have kicked myself for not saving it for lunch. Over a beer Mike and I compared notes, almost more to confirm we both we're shaking off the same preconceived notions then to share our excitement about trolling the city.
Still not convinced we were seeing the real Panama, I took us in a direction toward the inner city. Mike wisely questioned this, but, well… anyway… only a few blocks in we came across a man sleeping on cardboard in the street and our first of many garbage land marks. This was a locals only area and we definitely where out of place; digging further in, kind of Willie Nilly until finding the entrance for china town.
I really wanted to go inside the homes. They looked like slums but it was hard to imagine people living inside. That was until we passed a furniture shop. Hand made by local carpenters that looked ridiculously high quality. I couldn't stop myself from walking inside. I asked if I could take a few pictures, two of the three men used sign language in agreement. Turning my phone toward the third man working his craft he stopped and angrily started speaking!
Angry Spanish definitely isn't as sexy coming from a man who could kick my ass.
"Crap! What did I get myself into!" was all I could think as I instantly held my phone to my chest, leaving both hands in plan site and apologize in English to a man who only spoke Spanish. The jist of what I got in return was an apology back along with a joke about "You want my picture you pay, $20″ holding his hand out rubbing fingers together in a universal sign for money.
As the once angry man broke a smile we all started to laugh. I pointed to their work and asked again, in English, if this was okay to photo. In unison they all waved their hands as if to say go ahead and just went back to work before I could finish saying Gracious. emerging outside Mike gave me the "you're an idiot look," which, ya know, I never said I wasn't?
Creeping further and further into what looked like the most crowded part of the worst section in town was cause to put my cell phone away and keep up full situational awareness. The armed police officer with an assault rifle did nothing to set my mind at ease. Still, we pressed on. Streets where full of vendors selling everything from magazines and knives to fresh fruit and live chickens. It was surprising how popular soup was as a street food… like their version of a hot dog stand. The restaurants had all types of amazing looking food displayed in the windows. We stopped into a bakery and bought some snacks before starting the journey back into un-graffitied and more sanitary looking territory.
I wish my mind would have let me enjoy walking among the people more. On the plus side Mike started getting into the experience and talked to a few locals about gathering his own photos. Not sure what to call that feeling when a clear dividing line was found between what looked to be completely refurbished area and slums but it was a relief.
That same block had an old church with its doors wide open as a congregation celebrated mass. The catholic in me did a B-line for the Church and institutionally I knelt in the back row, did the sign of the cross, and stood to take in what looked to be a very old structure. Mike wasn't sure what to make of what he'd just saw and was incredibly respectful of the ordeal.
Only a few doors down from the church appeared a "high-class" coffee shop which we gladly used as a resting place.
the rest of the day was filled with even more gorgeous views and cool little sites. We walked miles of city, took a Taxi to a few spots in the distance to walk some more, and then kept going until it was time to return to the hotel.
Back at the hotel Mike took the opportunity to take a nap while I quietly reflected on the day. What's in these writing isn't even a quarter of the exploring we did; and it'd been less than twenty-four hours since touching ground.
If traveling is all about the people, then Panama seems to have a culture built around having fantastic people to visit. I already have a wish to come back, even if it's alone. Everyone we've met in Panama has been so warm and friendly it's completely disorienting regardless of how unbelievably refreshing. Proof that people don't have to be assholes all the time.
Why is that such a foreign concept in #Merica?

For those interested I've updated the photo journal documenting the real world results of my tattoo removal. View the photo journal here:
If your interested in reviewing the experience click on the links below:
Phase II is still on permanent hold.
Phase I was intended to focus on me and my journey; place the reader in my shoes and let them understand from my point of view. Phase II was intended to take myself out of the picture and focus squarely on the reader. Sadly I failed to consider Phase II from every angle. The original plan required extensive participation from third parties. I learned a few things but there wasn't any part of Phase II worth proceeding with after it started unraveling. Over reaching on others good will caused its collapse. Being over zealous destroyed it.
Phase III is independent of Phase I and II but very time-consuming and research intensive. The general idea is to focus on "everything else" and come full circle back to Phase I and my decision to get tattooed.
Without Phase II Phase III could be a bit lost however all three Phases should stand independent of each other while simultaneously adding value. Doing them out-of-order is not world ending.
If what's been done so far has been helpful or created some curiosity let me know what questions/comments you have and I'll do my best answering them.

BioShock is one of the best video games ever… Period.
As an older gamer, with a back log of unopened games, the time available for gaming shrinks daily. Real life continually destroys free time once designated for interactive storytelling entertainment. It was months after BioShock: Infinite's release before I'd play it; and after being extremely disappointed with BioShock 2, it was quickly put at the bottom of the pile.
Game reviewers don't write for people like me, who don't have patience for JUST tolerable story lines covered with pretty graphics. Who will STOP playing if it takes to long learning controls, a games repetitive, or is glitchy. To this day, after HATING the original Assassins Creed, I've refused to play another; there are to many other options yet played.
The original BioShock was a game played through multiple times and ranks easily in my all-time top ten. Up there with Mega Man 2; a game that years from now I'll pick up and replay just because. BioShock: Infinite wasn't the game I wanted but it didn't suck. The DLC was okay, but refused to give that "BioShock" feeling. Admittedly it was nice seeing Rapture before hell broke loose but half the fun of the original was imagining it.
Months of trying to finish BioShock 2 and Infinite left a lot of disappointment until finding out Burial at Sea – Episode two was scheduled for release a few days after finishing. A little hope built up enthusiasm only out of respect for what was. March 25th 2014 it became available to download. "Trying it out," before bed, was a terrible decision. It was impossible to stop playing, to sleep, unless I knew how the story ended. BioShock: Infinite felt created just so Burial At Sea Episode 2 could exist.
I'm here on March 26th, 2014 to tell my fellow gamers that if you enjoyed the original BioShock, if it's on your top ten, and you want to go back to what it felt like playing BioShock that first time, "suffer through" everything in between and enjoy Burial at Sea. That's it. If you want to know details a link will be posted to the WiKi. I will not be the one who ruins a single second of your "digitally interactive storytelling experience."
If I'd known how good Burial at Sea was going to be I would have waited until march 25th and taken a "Playcation;" doing an old school, hardcore, strait play through of BioShock, BioShock 2, and Infinite with all DLC in tact. It's the only thinkable way that could have made this masterfully creative series ending any better.
This is how I want it to end. If 2K knew gamers like me, they'd move on; let the franchise linger in the gaming hall of fame. But they won't. Numerous online sources say Rapture will return with out Irrational Games, just like BioShock 2. The math works out on sequel profitability, regardless of the ridiculous bar set for the next developer.
Maybe 2K will change their minds, Ryan understands why they won't.

A more productive piece was planned, and may still come, but I'm just not in the mood. You see, I'm finding myself in the Right but on the wrong side of the fence on many issues.
And seeing as this is Martin Luther King Jr. Day I thought I'd stop to write about what's really on my mind.
So bear with me as I start with the word "Nigger."
In case you didn't click the link, I want you all to read what the dictionary website has to say about the word:
The term nigger is now probably the most offensive word in English. Its degree of offensiveness has increased markedly in recent years, although it has been used in a derogatory manner since at least the Revolutionary War. The senses labeled Extremely Disparaging and Offensive represent meanings that are deeply insulting and are used when the speaker deliberately wishes to cause great offense. It is so profoundly offensive that a euphemism has developed for those occasions when the word itself must be discussed, as in court or in a newspaper editorial: "the n-word."
Despite this, the sense referring to a "black person" is sometimes used among African Americans in a neutral or familiar way. The sense referring to other victims of prejudice, especially when used descriptively, as to denounce that prejudice, is not normally considered disparaging—as in "The Irish are the niggers of Europe" from Roddy Doyle's The Commitments —but the other uses are considered contemptuous and hostile.
Really, the most offensive word in English? What I take offence to, is that it's called the most offensive word in English. I've been called a lot of things, but I've never used a word that could be considered the most offensive as a way to identify myself with my peers.
Well, that's not fair. Apparently there is a new word, Nigga, which has a completely different meaning even though it sounds the same. I, being a Caucasian, just haven't "earned the right" to say it.
Talking to my 14 year old cousin, who is a true American Mutt, the conversation of race was brought up by a news article siting Native Americans angry with the Redskins. She is part Native American and enjoys rooting for the Redskins! While talking, forgive me if I fast forward to the relevant part, she speaks up "you mean like when black people call each other Nigger?" It was completely innocent and relevant to the conversation, but her mother Gasped! How dare that word come out of her daughters mouth in any context! My immediate reaction was "Exactly!"
I then went on to tell her that the culture has made a completely different form of discrimination, a word that is racist upon which race is using it refer to another. But words aren't racist or hurtful, people are. Just like guns don't kill people, they are just the tools people use to do so. The word Nigger is a perfect example of how those who claim to see racism everywhere are usually the most racist.
When you can use a word, but I can't… I believe that's called discrimination.
Which is exactly what legislators tried to do when they tried to pass voter ID laws. Under the disguise of "protecting the sanctity of voting" Pennsylvania passed a voter ID law. Steven Colbert probably has the best coverage on the subject if you'd like a little education and entertainment. The United States has no national or mandatory ID laws and elections have always been handled on the local level, so it's left to the States to decided what they are willing to accept as proper ID. Some may require Government issue only.
Doesn't matter how these up-scaled gerrymandering laws passed, now the Genie is out of the bottle and the United States has had a history of voter fraud in its past. (I'm to lazy to find a situation; It's a blog, either take my word for it or go study US history)
We need all kinds of IDs to take part in society on the International, National, State, and Local level. What kind depends on what activity, or right, a person is participating in. When we register to vote we get Voter Registration cards. There is precedent in regard to every other aspect of our lives, I'm curious why extending this to a voting both is an "undue burden" where it's not in other avenues of our lives.
Most of us would assume you don't need an ID to ride a bike, but did you know that in some states you HAVE to produce an ID if riding on a public road when asked by an officer or you could be arrested? Here's looking at you California. So if showing proof of who I am, when participating in a government activity, is now an "undue burden," then I have to wonder what the long-term consequences of striking down these "discriminatory practices" are. What other things are "undue burdens" to the american public? People seem to forget that putting the Genie BACK in the bottle has just as many long-term unforeseen consequences, and we as a society require identification to do almost everything in this country except the most important and taken for granted thing. So what else will get rolled back, derailed, or stopped because of this?
Legal discrimination is nothing new. The Government is the only entity that can actually legally discriminate at will and does so all the time. Recently I considered buying a HUD home. That was until HUD refused to sell under any conditions because my father works with another HUD broker. Since he works for a HUD broker I cannot buy any HUD home no matter who has them listed. None of his immediate family can.
Once the Government properly IDs me and it's disclosed who's in my bloodline, all bets are off. However, if he was just "some guy who raised me" there wouldn't be any conflict. So yes, I absolutely know what discrimination is like, it's impossible to know the same way you do.
Maybe that's kinda the point of a "White man Holiday" like MLK day. So we can reflect on how far we've come and where we are going. Discrimination is everywhere and it's easy to get side tract with all the negativity; it's easier to do nothing about it when it doesn't affect you.
"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." – Martin Luther King Jr.
I'd like to focus on moments of promise like the one with my cousin, where in her world Nigger was just a word. No different then saying "scruffy looking Nerf herder."
David J.
Do we ever really move on? It's a question plaguing me since… since when isn't important. But it's as if Mercutio had uttered the curse.
As a new arbitrary line gets crossed I have to wonder how this one will be different. New Years Eve is a meaningless moment many place extreme emphasis over however what if it really did hold meaning? I can say with certainty that it does to me… or should I say that it did? I'm not sure.
It's impossible to change history and if events of the past will forever be apart of who you are and guide you on the path of who you'll become then does that mean it's impossible to move on? Or does that mean as we achieve a deeper understanding of ourselves and our past, that by continuing forward we can hold those memories and parts of our-self close and still meet the "moving on" criteria.
By forgetting, ignoring, or avoiding history we are doomed to repeat it. By embracing it we are forced to hold on and acknowledge it. So what happens when a person just takes a moment to reflect on what once was and where they are now? To miss those moments or be thankful they're over. Is that moving on or stumbling?
Nothing can replace those shared moments but no matter how much time goes on, how numb the feelings get, there are those times where it seems everything is the way it should be, except its not. Like a puzzle missing it's pieces, nothing can fill the jagged holes cut from the picture.
Maybe acknowledging those moments and embracing the time we have now is what moving on really is.

Dissolution of the Pakistani Drug Regulatory Authority
Over the course of several weeks in January 2012, more than 120 patients in Lahore, Pakistan, died of drug overdoses and hundreds more suffered adverse reactions after being treated with contaminated heart medicine at the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (Arie, 2012). The drug responsible was Isotab (isosorbide mononitrate, 20 mg), manufactured by Efroze Chemical in Karachi, Pakistan (Arie, 2012). Each Isotab tablet contained isosorbide mononitrate, as well as 14 times the normal dose of the antimalarial drug pyrimethamine. The overdose caused rapid bone marrow, white blood cell, and platelet depletion (BBC, 2012). The drug's packaging did not contain dates of manufacture or expiration, and the drugs were given to patients for free (Arie, 2012). Drug pricing was a concern at Punjab Institute of Cardiology. Anonymous sources at the hospital reported significant pressure to buy the lowest cost drugs available. Under Pakistani law, when the lowest bidder does not win a sale, rejected firms can bring lawsuits against the hospital (BBC, 2012).
Pharmaceutical regulation in Pakistan is particularly weak. Though the government approved an independent drug regulatory authority in 2005, political tensions prevented action (Arie, 2012). In 2010, a constitutional amendment further debilitated regulation by abolishing the ministry of health. Provincial governments, many with weak infrastructures, were given sole responsibility for drug regulation. Manufacturers exploited the confused system by rapidly registering thousands of drugs (Khan, 2012).
Following the Isotab scandal, the Pakistan Supreme Court ordered action on the independent agency. Doctors have expressed doubts, fearing that insufficient regulatory expertise and ineffective execution will impede the new agency's success (Khan, 2012). Their concerns appear to be well founded. The new agency's board includes only one position for an expert in medicine or pharmacy (Khan, 2012).

Fight Like Sugar Goes 12 Rounds On His T-Shirt Line, Sugar Ray Robinson And The Best Round EverBoxing, Fight Like Sugar, H1gher Learning, MMA — By The Fam on February 21, 2014 at 10:34 am
Round 1: Everyone has a passion in life, and when you get to know people in this world it doesn't take much time to figure out what those passions are.
Simply put, Paul Navarro knows his shit. When it comes to the fight game, that being of the boxing or the mixed martial arts variety, the man is a connoisseur. It was a humbling experience when I reflect on it now, as I used to pride myself as really being knowledgeable in the sport of boxing in particular. It's the quickened tone, the slightly crazed look in his eye and the sense that he's been wanting to share his thoughts with someone who cared that got me.
I've known that feeling many times, and I recognized it immediately.
The culture connoisseur that is KJ Kearney sat down with Paul to discuss what Fight Like Sugar means to him, who the best "Sugar" is in boxing history and his progression from being a former wrestler at Stanford to now being a person of influence in the fight game. Oh, and just because you came by to read this, we're hooking you up.

This is so funny. This is nothing more than a basic unix command. It is on EVERY UNIX-LIKE OS and has been for years and years.
About Mac OS X 'trojan horses'
I'm as non-plused about this warning as I was about the last one from Intego, about another 'exploit' that has been known about for years. I half expect them to breathlessly announce that there is a dangerous feature in Mac OS X whereby you can (gasp!) empty the trash without warning, and potentially delete important files!

Philip Seymour Hoffman adds another great performance to his gallery of losers in Owning Mahowny, an engrossing, fact-based comedy-drama about the perils of compulsive gambling. The subject is hardly new to movies, but as Toronto bank-loan manager Dan Mahowny, Hoffman brings fresh depth and tortured humanity to his portrayal of a man who helplessly feeds his pathological need to gamble with millions in embezzled bank money that he can't afford to lose. His supportive wife (Minnie Driver, barely recognizable beneath a plain-looking wig and glasses) is aware of the problem but not its severity, and in fulfilling the promise of his debut feature Love and Death on Long Island, British director Richard Kwietniowski strikes a delicate balance of humor, adrenalin, and escalating tension, guiding Hoffman, Driver, and an excellent supporting cast (including Long Island's John Hurt) in a quietly suspenseful study of Mahowny's ill-fated impulse. Set in the early 1980s but timeless in its study of dysfunctional behavior, Owning Mahowny is a safe bet for film lovers everywhere. --Jeff Shannon

At the Colville School Board meeting on April 24, the board unanimously passed a motion that entailed not renewing a contract with their food supplier—Southwest Foods—and opting instead to depend on local suppliers for their food sources in the future.
The board agreed that buying local foods would promote quality meals as well as lessen the overall cost inherent in contracting with food suppliers. It will also allow more control over the food served.

Est: 2014
The Mud Mucker GNCC is all-new for 2014, taking place at an off-road riding park called Mud Muckers in Bunnell, Florida. Mud Muckers is a privately-owned track of about 11,000 acres in north central Florida, about 30 minutes north of Daytona.
Being an all-new event for 2014, it's hard to give an exact run down of what to expect on the course but early reports from the facility are to expect a little bit different soil than what GNCC racers are used to in Florida as there's actually a bit of clay and topsoil mixed in with the sand.
Also, with such a large piece of property to work with, and being the first race of the year, you never know what kind of fun the track crew could have in store for you!
Special Information: Admission is $20 Adults (12+) and $10 Kids (6-11) (Sales tax included). Moose Racing Dinner on Friday at 5 p.m. See Schedule Tab for weekend Practice Schedule. No Micro practice.

Brideshead Revisited: Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder: The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder (Paperback)
$10.58 - Save $3.94 27% off - RRP $14.52 Free delivery worldwide Available
Dispatched in 1 business day When will my order arrive? | |
Description"Brideshead Revisited" is Evelyn Waugh's stunning novel of duty and desire set amongst the decadent, faded glory of the English aristocracy in the run-up to the Second World War. The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh's novels, "Brideshead Revisited" looks back to the golden age before the Second World War. It tells the story of Charles Ryder's infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian Flyte at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognise his spiritual and social distance from them. Evelyn Waugh (1903-66) was born in Hampstead, second son of Arthur Waugh, publisher and literary critic, and brother of Alec Waugh, the popular novelist. In 1928 he published his first work, a life of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and his first novel, "Decline and Fall", which was soon followed by "Vile Bodies" (1930), "A Handful of Dust" (1934) and "Scoop" (1938). In 1939 he was commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the Royal Horse Guards, serving in the Middle East and in Yugoslavia. In 1942 he published "Put Out More Flags" and then in 1945 "Brideshead Revisited". "Men at Arms" (1952) was the first volume of "The Sword of Honour" trilogy, and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize; the other volumes, "Officers and Gentlemen" and "Unconditional Surrender", followed in 1955 and 1961. If you enjoyed "Brideshead Revisited", you might like Waugh's "Vile Bodies", also available in "Penguin Classics". "Lush and evocative...Expresses at once the profundity of change and the indomitable endurance of the human spirit". ("The Times").

Reviews for Brideshead Revisited: Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder
- Top review
A beautifully written classic!
Brideshead Revisited was a book I was looking forward to reading and it turned out better than I had expected! The plot wasn't fast at all times. Waugh's descriptions are long but exquisite, especially those about the setting of the book: Oxford, London and Venice among other places, during the inter-war period. He also included a ton of lovely metaphors and a speck of Latin which gave this story a timeless touch. Also, all the characters (mostly high class) were very vivid and I was emotionally attached to most of them as I shared with them their pain and happiness alike. I was so invested in the main characters' relationships. Lastly I will mention the themes which were brought out in this book. Apart from those of love, friendship, loss and the ills of society by the use of satire, the theme which really stands out is that of Roman Catholicism and morality, which was accentuated by philosophical endeavours of the protagonist.

Matchup: Seahawks at Panthers
Matchup: Seahawks at Panthers
Published: Sep 04, 2013
» Get updates via Sportsmail
Each week Fantasy Source experts break down the matchups for NFL games from a fantasy perspective. Our tiered star ratings tell you how strongly we feel about each player's chances for a breakout performance. We analyze players based on how well their opponent defends that position and other factors such as statistical trends, playing-time potential and the talent level of the players and the teams involved.
5-Star Players
Cam Newton, QB, Panthers. Perhaps Newton has been the least talked about dual-threat quarterback this offseason, and it's a big spot for him at home against Russell Wilson. Remember, Newton did beat Robert Griffin III head-to-head last season. Newton struggled through the air against the Seahawks last season, completing just 12-of-29 passes for 141 yards. He also took four sacks. How he reacts to Seattle's pressure will be the key, but he always has the option to run. Don't be surprised if Newton delivers another trademark Week 1 performance. Start Newton.
Marshawn Lynch, RB, Seahawks. Lynch averaged 4.0 yards per carry against Carolina last season, and he seems almost guaranteed a 20-carry workload against the Panthers. Lynch should be able to get to the second level, where it becomes an open-field match with Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly. Expect plenty of collisions. Lynch is RB1 material.
4-Star Players
Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks. Wilson has received a ton of preseason hype. Wilson stuck with the short passing game against Carolina last season, completing 19-of-25 passes with one TD and two interceptions. A similar line could happen, especially with starting Week 1 on the road. Wilson, however, is much more experienced now, and with two TDs he'll get enough yardages to be a QB1.
Seahawks defense/special teams. The Seahawks had success harassing Newton last season. They sacked him four times and held him to 141 passing yards. Newton should be better in Year 3, but so should the Seahawks' defense. Provided Seattle limits Newton's opportunities to run in the open field, the Seahawks will score double-digit fantasy points.
Steve Smith, WR, Panthers. This game is worth the price of admission to watch the back-and-forth between Smith and Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman. Newton targeted Smith 13 times in last year's meeting, but Smith finished with four catches for 40 yards. This is a chance to see if Smith still has it, and it's best to treat him as a WR2/WR3.
Greg Olsen, TE, Panthers. This is an opportunity game for Olsen. Seattle's cornerbacks and safeties are excellent, so Newton will have to be patient and work the short middle with Olsen to move the sticks. The Seahawks allowed 7.2 fantasy points per game to tight ends last season, and Newton will take a few shots in the deep middle. Start Olsen.
2-Star Players
Golden Tate, WR, Seahawks. Tate scored the lone TD in last year's matchup with Carolina, and he's Wilson's go-to guy when Seattle needs a big play. Tate, however, scored just two TDs on the road last season. He's a WR3, but don't be afraid to explore other options.
Sidney Rice, WR, Seahawks. Rice likely will be matched up against cornerback Josh Thomas, who has potential but likes to gamble. Wilson will work short hitches with Rice in an effort to set up the deep ball. It's a question of whether it's Tate or Rice who scores the TD. Rice is a WR3.
2-Star Players
DeAngelo Williams, RB, Panthers. For better or worse, Williams figures to get the most carries with Jonathan Stewart on the PUP list. Brandon Mebane is one of the best run-stuffing defensive tackles in the game, so expect Williams to try the edges. He had six carries for six yards against Seattle last season. He's a marginal flex option.
Steven Hauschka, K, Seahawks. Hauschka kicked three field goals against Carolina last season, and he figures to be used frequently on a high-scoring offense. Start Hauschka in 12-team leagues.
1-Star Players
Christine Michael, RB, Seahawks. Michael is an excellent preseason sleeper, and he's the right handcuff for Lynch. Michael, however, likely won't get more than a handful of carries in what figures to be a tight game.
Brandon LaFell, WR, Panthers. LaFell remains a down-field threat, but he'll be matched up against a lanky physical cornerback in Brandon Browner. LaFell had three catches for 44 yards in last year's meeting. A similar output seems likely.
Zach Miller, TE, Seahawks. Miller is a bit player in Seattle's offense. Miller can get 1-on-1 opportunities against Carolina safety Mike Mitchell, but the veteran tight end won't get enough targets to be a fantasy factor.
Panthers defense/special teams. Carolina made upgrades on the interior in the draft, and Kuechly is a rising star at middle linebacker. This unit impressed in preseason action, and Ted Ginn Jr. adds a much-needed dimension in the return game. All that said, Seattle presents too many problems, especially in the power-run game.
Graham Gano, Panthers. Gano hit 4-of-5 field goals in two home games after signing with Carolina last season, and he has potential on a high-scoring offense long term. That doesn't include this week. Seattle allowed just 4.6 fantasy points per game to kickers last season.
0-Star Players
Mike Tolbert, RB, Panthers. Tolbert remains the Panthers' best bet as a goal-line back (aside from Newton, of course), but this is the week to go fishing for TDs. Seattle allowed just 31 rushing attempts inside the 10-yard line last season.

Hello, I believe I may have found one bit of errata in the XHTML Modularization specs.

The goal of surgery is to remove the tumor from your lung. Your doctor will try to take out the tumor without harming other parts of your body, but he or she usually has to remove part or all of the cancerous lung.
Surgery is a common treatment for lung cancers that have not spread to other parts of your body. Non-small cell lung cancer that is stage 0 to IIIA can often be treated with surgery (usually along with other forms of treatment as well). Non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IIIB or stage IV cancer is not usually treated with surgery. Surgery is less likely to be an option for you if you have small cell lung cancer, unless it is a very early stage cancer.
You have to be healthy enough to have surgery for it to be a good choice for you. If you have heart disease, your lung cancer surgeon may ask your heart doctor to give approval for your surgery. If you have emphysema or any type of lung disease, you may have to have tests before surgery. The doctors' goal is to make sure that the parts of your lung that will remain after surgery will support your breathing. Some types of tumors are not operable. That means they can't be taken out by surgery.
You'll meet with your surgeon before surgery to talk about the procedure. At this time, you can ask questions and talk about concerns you may have. You may want to talk about the possible side effects and risks of the surgery. You may also want to ask your doctor when you can expect to get back to your normal activities. And you may want to know if the surgery will leave scars, as well as where they will be, and what they will look like.
Before surgery, your surgeon will find out if you are taking any medications to make sure they won't affect the surgery. You'll also go over your medical records. After you have discussed the details with the surgeon, you will sign a consent form that says that the doctor can do the surgery.

Canine bocavirus 3
Canine bocavirus 3 (CnBoV3) is a newly discovered canine bocavirus found in the liver of the dog.
CnBoV3 belongs to the genus bocavirus in the family Parvoviridae. This family of viruses has single-stranded DNA with genome length between 4.5 – 5.5 kb. Bocaviruses are pathogenic in some of the mammalian species including humans, cows, pigs, gorillas, chimpanzees, California sea lions, dogs, cats, bats, and pine martens. Bocavirus can cause respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders in young animals and possibly human beings.
Previously, two species of bocavirus have been reported in the dogs; one is the minute virus of canines (MVC) – discovered in 1967 – that is related to the neonatal diseases and fertility disorders while the other is the Canine bocavirus (CBoV) – discovered in 2011 – that is thought to be related to the respiratory disease.
CnBoV3 is very much different from MVC and CBoV. The presence of CnBoV3 in the liver tissues showed that the virus may have opened the way through the mucosal barrier of the usual sites of bocavirus replication in the respiratory or enteric tracts. Researchers have also found that the replication of the virus may take place in the hepatocytes or the other liver cell types.
Researchers have reported that the role of the CnBoV3 in the complex diseases of animals have to be studied in detail. Read more…

DAC and Beachcroft moot £175m merger
Readers' comments (18)
If Beachcroft are so keen to boost their insurance work, then why were they so desperate to champion Jackson's reforms? The abolition of the success fee now means fewer marginal claims will be run, which means fewer claims will be referred to the likes of Beachcroft to defend and thus less revenue from insurance work.
@ Anonymous | 23-Jun-2011 11:58 am - Yes short-term RPC, and all other firms in the sector, will benefit from consolidation even if they aren't participants, as suppliers' pricing power increases and the firms engaging in mergers go through the process of integration.
Medium- to long-term being sub-scale will pose an ever greater challenge to their business however. This doesn't just apply to RPC though - in 20 years time very few of the current City firms will still be in existence.
Can someone point out where the conflicts are in the BLG Clydes merger: it's only marine that they have in common. This is good news for RPC in the same way that digital photography was good news for Kodak.
Anonymous@ 4:48pm
Your knowledge of what Clydes and BLG do is clearly lacking. Both are leading players in the non-marine insurance and reinsurance legal market. They are likely to be on opposite sides of a plethora of disputes - hence very substantial risk of conflicts. RPC (and others) may well prosper as a result.
I think Anonymous @ 5.06 is being a little unfair to Anonymous @ 4.48. In the insurance world, Clydes are best known for their marine work, BLG for their non-marine. Reinsurance is irrelevant, as there is virtually no dispute work around any more and Clydes are unlikely to want whatever is left of BLG's reinsurance practice as it is a terrible drain. Having said that, by all accounts, the deal at BLG's end is being driven by Tim Taylor, BLG's head of marine, so maybe he is prepared to lose some conflicts for the greater good.
The attempts by RPC to portray being outmanouvered as some sort of strategic acumen are frankly laughable. They can't decide whether they are a corporate or an insurance firm and are sub-scale in both. Not easy to see that they have a strategy. It is merge or become tomorrow's DAC for RPC.
It would be an error for Clyde & Co to merge with BLG. Why not just move into Botolph House and pick off the BLG London names they want (and thereby avoid the cost of BLG's belated/costly forays into the regions).
I wonder if RPC are going to grow by merger with another law firm? Why not merge with an entity that has a good corporate client list but no (present) ability to service their legal requirements?

This keyboard, of unknown brand or model was on the curb...
So i opened it up to see what was useful, it had got fresh potting soil and watered,
so i was skeptical about it's condition. Luckly when i opened it up it wasnt too bad,
and there was NO RUST! One speaker ruined from water and dirt, buttons broken ect,
but the guts were fine! It still worked once it was removed, rinsed, dried, and volume control bypassed(was broken)
Here is PROOF that the chip is removable:
Main chip pic #1 Obviously not easy to remove, but do-able.
Main chip pic #2 Other side, different colour circuitboard.
So ive proved beyond a doubt that if you dont have money, or creditcard, bankaccount, mailing address ect,
you can still make a small midi player to fit inside any decoration you want, just add arduino(AVR) (or PIC) and RTTTL!
if you dont feel like desoldering all those pins... you can just hook up the midi-in connector to your microcontroller project.
Arduino Mega1280 sample/demo .PDE code and MORE PICTURES follow.
demo code View directly with JPG (tip: zoom way in)
Whole circuitboard.
Main chip pic #3 Also showing the connectors for the keys.
Audio Amplifier It's heatsink is in the way but trust me, it's a TEA2025B.
Audio Op-AMP Nothing special.
Misc. Rear view.
Midi logic and opto-iso Logic is for in/out/THROUGH, just a NAND gate.
Front panel was here Now it's a mystery. Got the 10 LEDs tho...
7 Seg. 3 Dig. LED display Hmm with wires attached too!
Of noticeable mention are the following:
TEA2025B audio amp, > 2.3w @ 4 ohms @ 9v, this one works on between 3 and 12 volts.
Main black-epoxy-blob IS REMOVABLE! ... free reusable all in one midi chip! (keyboard/midi-play/midi-out/midi-replay)
3dig.7seg. LED display, other misc. like jacks.

I can't remember who to give the credit too, but I'll never forget someone here at 3fc using the words "Food Porn". FOR ME, that is exactly what it is, food pornography. Watching that stuff on TV still stirs up my addiction just as it does for a sex addict who watches XXX flicks. I have had to give up my Food Net Work addiction, and have replaced it with other activities. HGTV has given me countless ideas for my home and lawn and I can say that without a doubt, since making the switch, I have not only lost a lot of weight, but my home is becoming so beautiful. (Also great exercise and anxiety reducer).

Spring Dinner Party Menu and Tips
Say goodbye to winter with a spring green party.

The weather is warming, so it's time to lighten your wardrobe and your meals. Here are ideas for a refreshingly light dinner party that's a welcome change from those heavy winter menus. We've got suggestions for decorations, the meal and dessert. Call it a Spring Green bash.
The landscape is turning green, so reflect the color in your decorations. The first flowers of the season make perfect centerpieces. Grocery stores and home improvement stores have bulbs like crocus, tulips and daffodils in pots and blooming. Also check local greenhouses. These flowering bulbs also make perfect gifts for your guests.
Another great idea for a spring centerpiece is a tray of grass. It's simple and definitely says spring! Check with your local greenhouses to see if they have any flats of fescue for sale.
Nothing says spring like an organic green bar with a variety of spring vegetables, cheeses and toppings. It's a main course that's healthy and easy to prepare. Choose baby greens of endive, mesclun, watercress, arugula and dandelion for the best flavor because the larger, more mature leaves have a bitter taste.
Offer an array of toppings for your salad buffet, like:
- pine nuts
- sunflower seeds
- pecans
- fresh strawberries
- fresh orange slices
- fresh asparagus tips
- fresh sugar peas
- fresh sprouts
- fresh avocado chunks
- grape or cherry tomatoes
- grilled salmon or chicken
Don't forget the bread! Offer bread sticks, freshly baked rolls or Melba toast.
Treat your guests to their choice of homemade flavors. Serve the dressing in individual bowls so guests can try a sample of each. This also allows them to control the amount of dressing they put on their greens.
A great salad calls for a great wine. Pairing your spring greens with an herbaceous Sauvignon (or Fume) Blanc complements the crispness and nuttiness of a salad. For a moderately priced selection, try the Californian 1997 Chateau St. Jean La Petite Etoile, although at times it's hard to find. For a more affordable, but no less wonderful selection, try the Chilean 2006 Arboleda Sauvignon Blanc.
Finish your spring salad meal with a dessert featuring simple flavors, like this one:
Strawberries and Cream
2 pints of fresh strawberries, cleaned and halved
2 cups half and half
1/2 cup sugar
In a saucepan, combine half and half and sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and refrigerate mixture overnight.
Place 1/2 cup of strawberries in each of 6 dessert dishes. Pour 1/4 cup of half and half/ sugar mixture over berries. Serve immediately.
Difficulty: Easy
Serves: 6

The same as the last review. Have had water coming in my basement window every time it rains since October. Have contacted them about it 4 times and am still waiting for it to be fixed. Any maintenance is slow to be done and they will probably have to come back and do it again. The front office doesn't return your calls or email and when they do they just have excuses as to why they work hasn't been done. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

I have lived here for almost 2 years. The townhomes themselves are nice and spacious but you can not get maintenance requests done in a timely manner. In the time I have lived here, I have never had a maintenance request completed without having to call and request it at least twice, and it has never been completed when promised. If this didn't happen over and over, I would not be writing this review. I am just fed up! I currently have four repairs that need to be completed and have been waiting 4 weeks for this to happen. One of the nice things about renting is having maintenace issues resolved quickly and without cost. The last big repair I needed, I hired my own repairman and paid out of pocket. It just gets really frustrating. I even tried contacting the company that owns the property but that hasn't worked. They have not responded to my two emails and they don't have a phone number listed and the office staff won't give it to you. Seems shady to me. And worst of all, I just hear excuses when things don't get done, not apologies. A professional wouldn't defend themselves but instead would be proactive and call me to let me know something else had come up. If they actually did this and it didn't happen everytime, I would actually understand. I am reasonable and understand things come up. I am also very customer service oriented so sometimes it just shocks me when I am not treated well by a place I pay a lot of money to. I haven't had much interaction with the current leasing office employees but it seems that things will remain the same. I would not recommend living here unless you are EXTREMELY patient, which is really too bad because the townhomes themselves are really spacious and nice. They could keep this place packed full if they worked on their customer service and had repairs done quickly and when promised.

Many of the nation's largest public housing authorities fear they will be left out when the government distributes hundreds of millions in economic stimulus dollars.
The money would go for new plumbing, roofing and other capital improvements.
The Council of Large Public Housing Authorities says housing authorities in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Baltimore are examples of agencies that fail to meet the threshold that federal officials have established for getting some of that money.
Only housing authorities designated as "high performers" will be eligible during the first round of the competitive grants program.
The trade group says the new requirements for getting stimulus dollars go beyond what was required by Congress.
Those agencies will still get money for capital improvements because $3 billion will be spent through a formula that gives something to all the agencies.

'Political Views: Blissfully Ignorant' really really REALLY gets me fired up.
You think politics doesn't affect you? sort your FUCKING LIFE OUT.
That is complex…
I think it depends really on the physical fitness of the wood chuck and his experience. Age is certainly a factor too…
I think the question implies, however, that the wood chuck is unable to chuck wood (see: 'IF a wood chuck could chuck wood'), so that would lead me to believe that inexperience would make the wood chuck unable to chuck that much wood because he'd probably get a splinter or do his back in or something.
I hope that helps. :)
