Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- With nearly 2 million illegal immigrants and a 1,200-mile border with Mexico, Texas has more at stake than most states in the renewed push to overhaul the nation's immigration system.
Yet so far, Gov. Rick Perry and Republicans who control the Legislature have been sitting this debate out.
They're not resurrecting dozens of contentious immigration bills that roiled the statehouse in 2011. They're not making the rounds on TV and radio to talk about President Barack Obama's plan for legalizing immigrants. They're not even saying the word "immigration."
When Perry delivered his State of the State recently -- his first since his failed presidential run -- glaringly absent in the 37-minute speech was any mention of the issue at all.
The silence speaks to the sudden political shift in immigration since last fall's presidential election, in which Hispanics voted Democratic by a nearly 3-to-1 margin and created a powerful incentive for Republicans to change their approach to this growing ethnic group.
In Congress, Republicans have softened their opposition to accommodating immigrants, and a bipartisan group of Senate negotiators unveiled a bill framework that includes a pathway to citizenship for those already in the U.S. so long as border security is beefed up.
But in Texas, the party has been left speechless in the Capitol. GOP leaders find themselves caught between traditional supporters, who feel swamped by illegal immigrants and want tough action, and a surging Hispanic population. Minorities accounted for nearly nine out of every 10 new Texas residents in the past decade, and the demographic shift could soon transform the politics in a state where Democrats haven't won a statewide office since 1994.
"There's not nearly as much energy around it as there was," says Republican state Rep. John Zerwas, acknowledging the collapse of hard-line immigration proposals such as his to require state agencies to compile the costs related to illegal immigrants. "I think you're seeing that at the national level, and probably a good bit of that is trickling down to the state level."
Similar pivots are under way in other Republican statehouses, but perhaps nowhere is the change more evident than in Texas because of how much rhetoric the issue has traditionally received here.
Texas Republicans regularly used illegal immigration as a campaign cudgel against Democrats like Obama and as a rallying point for fed-up conservatives while trying to reach out to legal Hispanic residents as the party best aligned with their values.
Only two years ago in his State of the State address, Perry called for punishing "sanctuary cities" that bar police officers from asking detainees about their immigration status.
There's no talk of such measures now.
"You want an answer? That tried and that failed," said Texas Republican Party Chairman Steve Munisteri. "Responsible leadership is now focusing on things that have a chance to get passed."
Immigration isn't an easy subject to ignore in Texas, though.
About 16 percent of the illegal immigrants in the United States live in the state, according to a Department of Homeland Security report in 2012, and immigration leaves an outsize footprint on the state's infrastructure.
When a district judge ruled this week that Texas' system for paying for public schools was unconstitutional, he sided with arguments that state funding hasn't kept pace with rising numbers of students needing extra instruction to learn English. The ruling may force the Legislature to overhaul school finance by the summer.
So red-hot was immigration for Texas Republicans in the last legislative session that state Rep. Debbie Riddle camped outside the clerk's office to make sure her bills targeting illegal immigrants were filed first. About 50 bills related to immigration were filed in all. This time, Riddle, who once famously warned of immigrant mothers in the U.S. giving birth to "terror babies" who would grow up to attack the country as unsuspecting citizens, has not submitted any immigration proposals.
Perry talked tough about illegal immigration in his race for president, making his demand for more federal "boots on the ground" on the border all but a campaign slogan. But other Republican candidates talked even tougher. Perry wound up being criticized for his support of a 2001 state law that allowed tuition breaks for the children of illegals.
State demographers have predicted that Hispanics will make up a plurality of Texans by 2020, and then become the majority between 10 and 20 years later. In the last governor's race, the Republican nominee, Perry, won less than 40 of the Hispanic vote, according to exit polls.

The Sweet Sound of Suede
|The all-in-one speaker towers come in several colors and patterns.
The audio world is full of exotic schemes to squeeze out subtle sonorous nuances that no normal listener could even hear. Sake-soaked speaker cones? Check.
Speaker cable that runs $2,750 per meter? Check.
Now add synthetic cowhide to that list, but at a reasonable price. Cutely named PerSuede Audio debuted its Rebel Tower line of all-in-one, iPhone/iPod speakers last week in a little nook of CES dedicated to startups. The pseudo-suede wrapping provides a unique finish. But it also has a purpose, according to co-founder Brad Pfeifer.
"It smooths out the high frequencies," he said, noting that tweeters — the tiny speakers that reproduce high notes — often have a tinny sound to them. "In high-end audio," there's been companies that actually put a felt ring around the tweeter, just to tame the high-end frequencies," he said.
Whether or not suede is responsible, the speakers did sound very smooth and subdued, with no tinny high notes — as least from the music they were playing. And it looks distinctive in the typically high-gloss world of consumer electronics. Pfeifer said that most passersby favor the zebra-skin design, which, happily, is not made from actual zebras. "There are no animals harmed in the production of the material," he said in a follow-up email.
Unlike a lot of exotic audio gear, the PerSuede Rebel Tower will have a reasonable price of $600 when it goes on sale by midyear. Technically known as a "single-point" audio source, this kind of speaker system should be all that's needed to fill a room.

Lexi Dowdall
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are absolutely beautiful sandals. (Obviously a bit spendy for flip flops, but worth the investment, I think!). The construction is flawless, and the leather is gorgeous, I opted for the "Dark Java" color which is wonderful for most any outfit. I like these so much because they are casual but can also be used to dress up your style a bit. The comfort is phenomenal, Olukai calls this the "wet sand principle" your feet actually sink down into the cushioning on these puppies. WOW. You can't really explain it, you just have to try it!
The only con I have to report is that the bottoms of these shoes don't offer great traction. I would opt for something else if you plan to do any scrambling.

1. How long have you been blogging for? What made you start?
I have been blogging about my photography (my passion) on my other blog- for about 2 years now. My personal style blog, Wolf and Wood, is more recent, I'v been doing it for about 6 months now.
I actually have no idea why I started, I just know I'v always loved fashion and having loved reading other blogs for ages now, and oneday I just decided, and haven't looked back :)
2. How would you describe your aesthetic?
Very relaxed, bit quirky. I like things that have something fun about them, I love collars, knits, high waists and chelsea boots! I'm not how exactly that describes my style, but I would say I like to look like I'm extremely comfortable in my own skin.
3. Your perfect outfit consists of?
Haha, there are so many great outfits out there! I think something that will always appeal to me is a sweet printed dress with a collar and an over sized cardigan, and I would love to pair it with Jeffrey Campbell rumble booties with socks.
4. A Spring trend you can't live without…
A high waist bikini!
5. One thing on your bucket list you have to do
Travel. Particularly to Amsterdam, Rome, South America, and Morocco.

This is a holiday staple at my house. Really, it should be more dessert than side dish but who is gonna be picky about that? It's the Holidays!
We used to make sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top but really I only just picked off the gooey marshmallows, and left the yams. With this recipe there is no picking… there is licking the bowl.
Though my husband, I must admit, pines for the marshmallow stuff.
Sweet Potato Casserole
From The Southern Living Cookbook
For casserole:
1 large can (29 oz) sweet potatoes (or yams)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
For topping:
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup pecans
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp butter
We always melt the butter. The original recipe does not say to do this but it seems to work much better. And who remembers to bring their butter to room temperatur first anyway?
Combine the sweet potatoes,
and 1/2 cup butter. You can do this is a separate bowl or… if you are doing a lot of holiday baking and worried about space in your dishwasher… you can just mix if up in the greased 12X8X2 in baking pan that you are gonna be baking it in anyway.
Using a potato masher (or a hand mixer if you prefer, but I like the mashing) mash up the ingredients until it is desired consistency. We like it a little lumpy but it is still delicious if silky smooth. Pour the mixture into your greased baking dish or just spread it out evenly.
For your topping combine the brown sugar,
pecans and flour.
Cut in the 2 tablespoons of butter until it resembles corse crumbs.
Sprinkle mixture over the casserole.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Pull it out and watch it disappear at your next holiday meal.

My fiancé loves breakfast. Like whoa. I am not as big a fan. Heavy greasy things in the early morning and I just do not mix. I like eating my breakfast around 11, thank you. After sleeping in most of the morning… and being lazy… maybe reading a few chapters of my book… mmmm yeah that would be nice, but… hmmm… Yep, still in bar review mode. Lazy mornings are still a distant memory. But soon, soon it will be over.
The last time my fiancé came to visit, my mother made this bread. It was amazingly good, the top crust slightly crunchy and sweet, the middle soft and delicious, and the bottom.. oh, the bottom of the bread caramelizes into gooey sticky perfection. It does take a little preplanning and a little finesse but the results are delicious. Now a slice of this and a big mug of tea… that is a perfect breakfast for me!
Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread
(From joythebaker.com)
For the dough
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 tsp salt
2 ounces butter
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup water
2 large eggs beaten (best if they are at room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla
For the filling
1 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 ounces butter, melted
Whisk together 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Set aside. In a small saucepan melt the milk and butter until the butter just melts. Remove from heat and add in the water and vanilla. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Carefully pour the milk butter mixture into the flour and mix. Add the eggs and stir until the eggs are thoroughly incorporated. This will be difficult and will seem to take forever.
Keep stirring. Add in the remaining flour and beat for about 2 minutes. The dough will still be sticky.
Allow the dough to rise in a greased bowl until doubled in size, about an hour. At this point you can also put the dough into the refrigerator and allow to raise slowly overnight. If doing this, then just be sure to remove the dough from the fridge 30 minutes before rolling out the dough.
Mix together the cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg for the filling. Melt the 2 ounces of butter and set aside. Also grease a 9X5X3 loaf pan.
Punch down the risen dough and knead for a few good turns. Cover with a kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to roughly 12 inches tall and 18-20 inches wide.
Spread the melted butter across all of the dough and cover the surface with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
And I mean cover!
Carefully slice the dough vertically into 6 equal strips and stack the strips on top of one another.
Now cut the strips horizontally into 6 squares. Place the squares into the loaf pan standing on end. It helps to tip the pan on one end as you stack the slices up the pan.
Cover with a towel and allow the loaf to raise in a warm place for another 30 - 45 minutes until again doubled.
Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. You will also want to put some aluminum foil or another baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any overflows or drips. Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, until the top is a deep golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to rest for about 20 minutes (if you can.. this is not an easy step… I won't judge you if you rush to the eating). It can be tricky to get the loaf out. The easiest way is to run a butter knife around the bread, loosening the sides, then place a plate on top of the loaf and invert the pan. Using a second plate, flip the bread back over to create a perfect beautiful gooey delicious breakfast.

Homemade caramel
Making candy scares me a little. I blame the really, really bad burn I got the first time I ever tried, or maybe just the fact that it took me years to figure out a candy thermometer works (now I have a cool digital one that even I can't read wrong).
But you should not be afraid of making candy. It is really more like delicious mad science. And you, as things bubble and foam, can laugh maniacally and make plans for when you take over the world!
… or maybe that is just me.
Seriously though. Homemade caramel is delicious. And so so worth learning how to make yourself. You'll never eat the Kraft pre-wrapped stuff again! (Ok that is a lie - I eat it all the time but I at least know this is better stuff!)
Recipe from Epicurious
1 cup heavy cream
5 tbsp butter
1 tsp kosher salt (I always add a tiny bit more because I love the sweet salty thing)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
Line the bottom of an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, then lightly oil the paper (or use aluminum foil and Pam the thing if that is what you have on hand).
Bring the cream, butter, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan; remove from heat and set aside
Boil the sugars and water in a 3-4 quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Continue to boil without stirring, but gently swirl the pan until it turns a light golden caramel color.
Carefully stir in the cream mixture (it will bubble up so feel free to laugh manically here as well!). Simmer, stirring frequently, until caramel registers 248 F on a candy thermometer for a softer caramel, 250 F for a slightly harder caramel. About 10 - 15 minutes.
Pour into the prepared baking dish and cool 2 hours. After about an hour I went ahead and scored the top of the caramel to make cutting easier. Cut into roughly 1-inch pieces
Now you have some options. I like dipping mine in chocolate, or rolling the caramel in peanuts, or even just wrapping the pieces in wax paper and eating as is. Whatever is your favorite way to enjoy caramel, go for it!

(Sorry a little late guys, been having technical difficulties here at home.)
I packed up, got in a rental car, and moved out to California in 2007. It was not my best planned move ever. I had a school to attend, but had neglected to secure housing when I showed up in Hollywood. And I was a little overwhelmed.
I have an aunt and uncle on my father's side who live in California. They took me in for those first few weeks while I looked for a place to live. Before this they only knew me vaguely, but still they took me in. They are wonderful people and I owe them the success of that crazy move.
As ultimate comfort food my aunt would give me hot tea and gingersnaps. And to this day I still associate green tea with lemon and gingersnap cookies with the warm and comforting presence of my aunt's house.
Ok: true confession time. These cookies weren't bad, but were not my favorite. I want my gingersnaps to be STRONG ginger and these, while extremely delicious and very good with hot tea (Green tea with lemon grass from Good Earth!), they just were.. milder ginger flavor than I hoped for. Ah well, I eat straight candied ginger as candy - maybe anything less will be too mild for me!
From Smitten Kitchen
2 1/4 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp table salt
3 teaspoons ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp pepper
2 sticks (1 cup) softened butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup unsulphured molasses
1/2 cup finely minced candied ginger
Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, spices, and candied ginger, then set aside. Cream the butter and sugars. Add in the egg and molasses and beat until well combined. Add in dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
This is an extremely soft dough so you really do need to chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours (I know, I usually skip that step too - no patience. When I want my fresh hot-from-the-oven cookies I want them!).
Preheat the over to 350 degrees. Roll the dough into roughly 1 in balls and then roll them in some sugar. Space on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 - 15 minutes. The longer you bake them the crunchier-more snappy-they become.
And while they are baking… your kitchen will smell amazing!

This recipe has been floating around the internet for a while now… so you know I had to try it. And it was a huge hit! All the deliciousness of a doughnut with all the ease of a muffin. Yea!
One note of caution though, they are highly addictive. Next time I make then I think I will accentuate this quality and make them as mini-muffins!
Cinnamon and Sugar Muffins
From Lemanda on Tasty Kitchen
For the Muffins
1 3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup oil
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a muffin tin. This is not a recipe where you want to use liners. Trust me.
Mix your dry ingredients: the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon, and set aside. Combine the oil, sugar, egg and milk in another bowl. Mix well. Add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes. Meanwhile make the topping.
For the topping
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
Melt the butter and put it aside in a small dish. Mix the cinnamon and sugar and set that aside in a second dish.
Shake out the muffins while still hot. Cover them in the butter and then in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Let it cool. Not sure why but this is one baked good that is definitely better cooled.

What is Vasant Panchami?
Vasant Panchami is a festival full of religious, seasonal and social significance and is celebrated all over the world with verve and new sense of optimism.
Vasant means, "the spring season". This is the great spring festival, falling on the fifth day of the month of Magh, the first day of spring.
Vasant Panchami is the festival dedicated to Saraswati, the goddess of learning. (Deepavali is dedicated to Lakshmi, goddess of wealth, and Navaratri Durga is dedicated primarily to Kali, goddess of strength, might and power.)
When It is Celebrated !
Magh Sud 5 (5th day of the bright fortnight of the lunar month of Magh) is the day of Vasant Panchami. Hindus all over the world celebrate this festival with great enthusiasm. This Panchami is also known as Saraswati Day. It is believed that this day is Saraswati's birthday. Temples are full of activities on this day.
How It Celebrated!
Yellow colour is given special importance on this day. On Vasant Panchami, Saraswati is dressed in yellow garments and worshipped (with Puja, Havan etc.). Men and women try to wear yellow clothes on this day. Sweetmeats of yellowish hues are exchanged with relations and friends
Some people feed Brahmanas on this day. Pitri-Tarpan (ancestor worship) is done on this day. The god of love (Kamdev) is also worshipped on this day.
Children are taught their first words on this day (as an auspicious beginning to learning). Schools, colleges etc., (places of learning) organise special worship of Saraswati.
Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya laid the foundations of Kashi Hindu Vishwa Vidyalaya on Vasant Panchami. This has become a world famous top class academic institution.

Grants or contributions used to start a new project or organization are called non-profit seed money grants. Non-profit seed money grants may cover salaries and other operating expenses of a new project. U.S.G.G. Grant Writing Workshops include training on how to apply for non-profit seed money grants. A 300+ page workbook full of funding resources, sample grant proposals, and grant writing tips is provided to all participants. Research is conducted prior to the workshop for each participant providing a list of 10-100 potential funders interested in funding their issue in their state. For example, participants from Iowa interested in receiving seed money would receive a list of 10-100 private foundations interested in providing non-profit seed money grants in Iowa.
The Foundation Directory Online provides access to a vast database of private and corporate foundations for as little as $19.95 per month at http://fdncenter.org. Enter your state into the geographic focus search field to retrieve all U.S. foundations that make grants in your state or enter "seed money" in the text field to retrieve all U.S. foundations that give non-profit seed money grants. According to a recent search on The Foundation Directory Online, there were over 3,200 non-profit seed money grants awarded between 2001 and 2005. For example, in 2005 the Ford Foundation provided two non-profit seed money grants to Jobs for the Future and the American Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam. Other foundations that give non-profit seed money grants are the Starr Foundation, San Diego Foundation, Public Welfare Foundation, and William Penn Foundation.
Another resource to identify who gives non-profit seed money grants is Guidestar. Much of the information on this website is free, but you do have to log in to access the information. Guidestar has information that helps nonprofit organizations identify foundations interested in their cause and also helps foundations and philanthropists identify nonprofit organizations they would like to fund. All nonprofit organizations that complete a 990 form are listed on Guidestar's website. Nonprofit organizations should update their profiles regularly to increase chances of having foundations and philanthropists choose them for funding.
Grants.gov is THE site to find and apply for more than $360 billion in competitive federal grants across all 26 federal grant-making agencies. Currently there are more than 2,050 active grant opportunities posted on the site spanning 20+ diverse grant categories. Over 70 active electronic grant applications packages are available on Grants.gov to apply from federal agencies, including the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, Social Security Administration, and the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities.
One of the best single sites for learning about all federal grants is www.fedgrants.gov. Anyone can sign up to receive daily e-mails announcing federal grant opportunities for free. Each grant posting in the e-mail notification also has a direct link to get details on the grant opportunity. There are usually 10 or more opportunities each day if you sign up to receive all notifications.

Once again, I hear about a pre-order update not from the club itself, but from the plain old internet.
Today's update featured yet another screenshot (from The Cavern doing I Saw Her Standing There) and the conclusion of the interview with Giles and Alex. Highlights commence after this colon and carriage return:
Giles: It was easy because it was in 4 track and 8 track, but the material we have for the Cavern Club in the game is 2 track. So by removing vocals from a track, people can hear instruments. If you make a mistake playing the bass on "Twist and Shout", you'll hear the fact that you're making a mistake on "Twist and Shout". The Beatles stuff is about 67 percent the band playing guitar, bass, and drums all on one track. If you're playing the drums on the game and I stop that channel, the bass and guitar would stop as well.
Giles: The funny thing about this is that this probably couldn't have been done two years ago or a year ago. There are fantastic engineers that are developing systems which enables us to do this as we go along.
Alex: There are aspects of the music that, when you listen to the entire mix, will escape detection normally. I had a very personal experience with this with one of the first songs when we got into the game, which was "Taxman". "Taxman" is a song I heard at least a hundred times in my life and I thought I knew intimately. But the first time I was playing a bass part in that song, I was playing along with the bass line and just having a really great time with it, and then a moment came in the song's bridge, leading into the guitar solo, where the bass just started going crazy and started running all over the place. It was amazing.
Alex: Most people are not musicians or trained singers and they can't sing harmony. They really don't know how to do it, so when they start singing a particular Beatles tune for the first time and two or three people are trying to do the extra harmony parts, it's just horrendous. They're out of tune and they're just missing the parts completely, and it's a mess. But it's a video game and they keep trying and trying, and after about 45 minutes of working on a particular song, these people who couldn't sing harmony to save their lives, are suddenly nailing the harmony parts of these Beatles songs. It's really gratifying watching that come together, and it's really gratifying to imagine that 6 to 9 months from now there's going to be millions of people out in the world who couldn't sing harmony, who are all of a sudden coming together around this music.
PC World and others managed to find the venues for the newly revealed songs even though they're not on the new trailer.
Twist And Shout / Cavern Club
Do You Want To Know A Secret / Cavern Club
Can't Buy Me Love / Ed Sullivan Theater
I Wanna Be Your Man / Ed Sullivan Theater
Eight Days A Week / Shea Stadium
Paperback Writer / Budokan
And Your Bird Can Sing / Budokan
Yellow Submarine / Abbey Road Dreamscape
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band / Abbey Road Dreamscape
With a Little Help from My Friends* / Abbey Road Dreamscape
Within You Without You / Tomorrow Never Knows / Abbey Road Dreamscape
Revolution / Abbey Road Dreamscape
Birthday / Abbey Road Dreamscape
Dig A Pony / Rooftop Concert
I've Got A Feeling / Rooftop Concert
So, even though no songs from Revolver were played on their 1966 world tour, here we see another one played at Budokan (the other is Taxman). The cut off from live venues to Dreamscapes seems to be by year, not song/album.
According to SPIN and others, Paul's show at the new Mets stadium showed Rock Band video while they played Got to Get You Into My Life.
So, 15 more songs were revealed today. Way to email the preorder club, Beatles. But thanks, Joystiq.
I picked 9 of 15.
I'm not doing too hot with my picks so far. I would never have picked Yellow Submarine. Fun to sing, sure, but stupid to play. Do You Want to Know a Secret was obviously picked just because it's George singing. And it's a tough one to sing too.
The most interesting inclusion here is Within You Without You / Tomorrow Never Knows. Obviously this is actually taken from the Love soundtrack, which is slightly annoying to this Beatles purist.
Just for fun, thought I'd try to get the tracklist perfect, based on recent interviews with Giles Martin.
I'm only doing 35 songs since we know 10 already.
Maybe I'd just never noticed it before, but the bass on I Will sounds amazing. Is it Paul's voice or an acoustic bass?
An interview with Alex Rigopulos and Giles Martin provides insight into the song selection. Highlights:
Giles: So we chose songs, really, based around the fact that it's all four of them playing.
Alex: [We chose] some songs that were incredible songs that weren't number one hits, that maybe some people wouldn't know as well, but that we would have an opportunity to introduce to the audience in a new way.
Giles: So we'd think about how the songs would play, and really, we would reject songs that were maybe very well known and loved by people just because we didn't feel as though it would be a great experience to interact with that particular song. As we work together on doing more material, we're going to have to battle to make [gameplay] as good as possible. And so we tried to start by making things as easy as possible for us. More difficult later.
Giles: I'm very happy with what we've ended up with. I think it's a good representation of what [The Beatles] have done. But, you know more to come I suppose…
Alex, regarding Dreamscapes: Later on there is some fresh creative terrain that we have the opportunity to explore while the narrative setting is that they're in the studio recording this music, and that's where all of this archival footage is coming from and what not.
Alex, regarding the cut scenes: Now in between all of these moments, this sequence of particular performance venues or abstract scenes that we just talked about, we wanted there to be some kind of connective tissue to help advance the narrative — to help educate, maybe help inform the player about the connection between these various moments in what was happening in their lives, and the various moments around them in the moments between these scenes that we're giving you a window into, and so we produced these connective movies to help stitch the entire thing together into one cohesive experience.
This just keeps getting better and better. And, btw, Getting Better better be on the song list.
As I suspected a couple posts ago, the mini-documentaries that come with the remastered stereo albums are comprised of content from The Anthology.
You can see a snippet of the Revolve doc on thebeatles.com now.
That fake 3-D photo thing is used to the extreme. The only interesting part was zooming out from a cut-out of Paul's head from the Revolver cover to show the original whole picture. Why not do a Classic Albums-like thing that talks to people who favor that particular album. It's not hard to find Beatles fans in the music business.
The moral of the story is, any time I set away for watching the documentaries has now been replaced with more Rock Band time.
I'm finally pre-ordering Beatles Rock Band bundle for Wii from GameStop since Best Buy still doesn't offer in-store pickup for that game.
I am still concerned that I will not get the game on the morning of 09/09/09. It says that the product ships on 09/09/09. Pre-order is explained as such on the GameStop site:
This product has not yet been released. Pre-ordering a product is the best way to ensure that you'll receive it promptly when released. The date listed is usually the date we pick up the product from the vendor and ship to you.
First of all, how is pre-ordering ensuring that you'll get the product promptly when the very next sentence says that the release date is the date they ship it from the vendor?
But how is in-store pickup different? They better have one waiting for me when they open the store on 09/09/09, and these pre-order goodies better be fucking awesome (even though I know they haven't been so far).
An email from thebeatlesrockband.com today tells me that pre-order club members can have access to a new screenshot, "plus a few downloadable bonuses."
Since I don't want to preorder this game and have to wait a few days to have it delivered, I have to do some investigating.
The new screenshot is of I Feel Fine at Shea, similar to this picture.
The downloadable bonuses are wallpapers, one of which is the background of the BRB site when it first came online. Both feature the band logo at Abbey Road Studio 2.

Evidence of how fleeting success can be in the WNBA is anchored at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
There sit the fifth-place Connecticut Sun and the sixth-place Indiana Fever, both 2-7 heading into Sunday's action.
If this juxtaposition doesn't seem strange, remember these teams battled into the deciding game of the conference championship series last season.
And the Fever unseated the defending champion Minnesota Lynx in the finals to win their first championship.
But this year has been much different, despite no major changes in their core personnel.
Both teams have been riddled with major injuries, something they could not have anticipated and something league rules provide no relief from.
Compounding the pain, league rosters are limited to 11 – just 132 jobs in the world's top pro league for women.
And when those players are injured, either for the short or long term, they can't be replaced, in most cases, unless their team wants to cut them or someone else to bring in a health reserve.
"It happened to us last year," said Phoenix's Diana Taurasi, about the team's 7-27 record in 2012. "It's happening to other teams this year. You just can't get much done in practice. You can work on stuff or get better. It's hard and it wears on you. But what can you do?"
Only when a roster dips to nine players can a team sign a replacement on an emergency basis.
"So, we'll just do the best that we can do with what we've got and not worry about what we don't have," Fever coach Lin Dunn said.
Subsequently, in a league with just 34 regular-season games, winning a championship, even making the playoffs, requires as much good fortune as good players.
"With the short season that the WNBA has, that can be significant," Rebecca Lobo said. "And that is why an 11?player roster, players 9, 10, and 11 are so important, because they are going to determine some playoff positioning early in the season.
"So with Indiana, while they have everybody back, this does hurt them quite a bit with the injuries that they have. Who is going to be the back?up center? Who is going to be the back?up point guard?"
Roster size promises to be one of the major points of contention when the WNBA's collective bargaining agreement with the player's union is renegotiated.
"Roster size is one of those topics we discuss literally every season," said Laurel Ritchie, the president of the WNBA. "And this off season, headed into the new collective bargaining agreement, it will be no different for us. I am sure it will come up. We just take things a year at a time. We are juggling some things, trying to keep them in balance and I suspect we've already started to having productive discussions about it in our competition committee and will continue to do so."
The condensed roster was one of the issues the player's union agreed to ensure labor peace in January 2008 for the then-fledgling league.
Some now view that now as a mistake, at the very least a miscalculation.
"I would say [roster size] is going to be a topic," Taurasi said. "Since it went from 13 to 11 you could see the impact of it. That's up to 24 jobs we've lost."
It has led to lost jobs in two ways: Players not making WNBA rosters and signing full-season deals overseas once cut, which shrinks the depth and quality of the reserve pool.
It creates major problems in practice where teams, without male practice players on the road, are barely able to work productivity.
"It's a hassle," said Chris Sienko, the Sun's general manager. "It's hard to teach when you don't have as many players as you need to work."
It leads to pressuring moderately injured players to play through pain because others are not available.
And it all leads to a diminished floor product for the fans, not to mention the disablement of some franchises for an entire season.
According to league sources, adding an extra player to each of the 12 rosters would likely add approximately $100,000 to each team's operating expenses.
A low-level player filling the 12-spot would likely make the league minimum. The additional costs would be for insurance, housing, car, travel and per diem, among other ancillary costs.
The league's 12 teams will received approximately $1 million annually from ESPN through the extension of its television deal through 2022.
The players feel those funds could be used to help expand the player pool, even if the league is not financially ready to compensate them the way they are in Europe, Asia and Australia.
"It's not going to hurt," said a league source. WNBA owners are prohibited from direct comment on league labor issues.
And there is some feeling now among management that roster size has become such a problem it will absolutely be addressed in the next CBA.
"The teams want it," said another league source. "The owners want it. In fact, I am surprised no one has tried to implement it [an increase] during the season.
"It's about everyone working together and ultimately that always happens. All the owners want what's

Pursuant to legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Internal Revenue Service, Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, and Health Care Financing Administration's new rules for mental health parity. GAO noted that the: (1) new rules would govern the parity between medical/surgical benefits and mental health benefits in group health plans and health insurance coverage offered by issuers in connection with a group health plan; and (2) agencies generally complied with applicable requirements in promulgating the rules, although it appears that the agencies could have obtained comments earlier and issued the interim rules in time to permit the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996's 60-day delay period for congressional review.

Identifying juvenile Grass Pickerel and juvenile Northern Pike
Posted 10 August 2010 - 03:10 PM
As part of my research, I have to be able to distinguish the difference between juvenile northern pike (Esox lucius) and juvenile grass pickerel (Esox americanus vermiculatus). I figured I could pass along the knowledge I've gained through the years, as to help others readily tell the difference between the two species. As juveniles, these two species can be difficult to separate. But a few key characteristics can quite diagnostic. I'll outline those below. A paper published by Kleinert and Mraz in 1966 did a fantastic job of illustrating the morphological differences between the two species starting from young fry (12 mm long) all the way up to advanced fingerlings (75 mm long). That paper can be found online here. On pages 23-26 of their paper, they discuss the differences (with fantastic photos) between the two species. Please, use this as a guide.
I'll add some additional information from personal photos below.
For me, the simplest way to tell the two species apart, when they're both juvenile, is to look for the presence or absence of a "pigment-free line" below the lateral line. Let me demonstrate what I mean by that. Below is a picture of a juvenile Grass Pickerel (around 40 mm in length);
Laterally, there is a pretty distinct bar that has a gold appearance to it. That is the "pigment-free line" that I'm talking about. I highlighted it with red in this picture;
Now, let's observe a juvenile Northern Pike of about the same size;
There's no "pigment-free line" below the lateral line on this fish.
The differences become more exaggerated as the fish mature. Here is an adult Grass Pickerel (which is sometimes confused with juvenile Northern Pike);
You may have to use your imagination a bit, but the "pigment-free line" is still present on the adult Grass Pickerel (highlighted in red).
A Northern Pike of that size starts to take on a different appearance and becomes easier to distinguish;
Note the lack of a "pigment-free line" on the Northern Pike.
Adult Northern Pike will have markings quite different from juveniles;
Aside from the size of this fish, note that it has no "pigment-free line" as an adult.
I hope this serves as a helpful tool for identification of juvenile northern pike and juvenile grass pickerel. Please feel free to ask questions. I'll also post some pictures below of both juvenile Grass Pickerel and juvenile Northern Pike. If you feel comfortable identifying these fish here, then hopefully you'll be able to do so in the field.

Thanks for taking the time to construct a very informative post! That pigment-free line seems pretty diagnostic -- I never knew it was quite that easy and will have to integrate it into practice next time I have a juvenile Esox in the net.

Any thoughts on whether this also works with redfins?
Posted 11 August 2010 - 05:02 PM
Another notable difference you can see in the pictures is that pikes (both northerns and muskies) have spots and their fins and pickerels don't.

I would caution that the spotting on the fins can be difficult to decipher on juvenile pike and pickerel. In general, I avoid using this characteristic. My point would be that the fish in picture A is a northern pike, but the spots aren't readily visible. Also while looking at picture F, one might say that fish has some spotting on its fins, although it is a grass pickerel. Just my two cents on that one.

I don't know if Pike spawn any time other than spring, if they don't, then any pike you'd find now would be pretty good sized i'd imagine.

If you mean Hamilton, Ontario, we caught many adult pike in Cootes Paradise a few summers ago in our fyke nets. I imagine going into Desjardin canal would be productive. Look for any shallow, weedy spots near emergent vegetation.
Nate, thanks for this really good tip. I've been struggling with juvy esocids all summer and have been using the scaled cheek/operculum method, but when they're 2" long the scales get darned small and frankly I don't trust that character at that size. Thanks much.

My current read. I know its a typical bestseller self-help book but I love the cover art. Plus, its actually very interesting. I skipped through the section on parenting (except the part about singing in the morning). I like the idea of trying new things, and figuring out what you really love to do and what creates more happiness for you personally. Definitely a good book to read in the start of a new year.

Math! It's hard!
For some people it's really hard. They remember taking pre-calculous in High School and… just, oh man, it all comes rushing back! The anxiety, the frustration. Dear God, it's too much for a mere mortal to bare.
Other people are more, "Calm down! Sure it can be confusing, but it's not wizardry."
"Yes, it is," the fearful cry. "People who are good at math must be wizards! "
But the thing is, math nerds aren't, in fact, wizards. They're just brave:
Using brain scans, [scientists at the University of Chicago] concluded that the mere thought of having to solve a math problem causes quasi-physical pain.
Medical XPress quoted Ian Lyons, a psychology graduate from the University of Chicago and a postdoctoral scholar at Western University in Ontario, Canada: "The brain activation does not happen during math performance, suggesting that it is not the math itself that hurts; rather the anticipation of math is painful."

OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) -- Vice president Joe Biden is telling Wisconsin voters that America is not in decline and that the Republican presidential ticket is in denial about the improving economy.
Biden spoke to about 1,000 people at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh on Friday. Later in the day, he drew about 1,500 people at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in Kenosha.
The vice president peppered his speeches with familiar criticisms of Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. He said Romney "meant what he said" when Romney contended that 47 percent of Americans see themselves as victims entitled to government assistance.
Biden said, quote, "I don't recognize the country he's talking about."
Biden also criticized Romney for not condemning the recent remarks about rape and pregnancy made by Indiana's Republican Senate candidate, Richard Mourdock.
