We followed the recipe - the salmon was amazing, my son loved it and he doesn't even like salmon. The quinoa was good but it did need a little more seasoning. I think next time I will add a little orange juice to it while it cooks. So happy to make something with the kids that is healthy that they enjoyed making and eating! Thank you

We grilled the salmon and the marinade is a very flavorful HEAT! Trying to locate the adobo sauce (from chipotle chiles was a bit challenging, but found it canned at Walmart. Served it with Spanish rice and garden salad, but think grilled red potatoes would be a better pairing.

Rating the salmon only as I didn't make the quinoa. I was very surprised how flavorful the salmon turned out. It was easy and simple (from an ingredients perspective to make - not to mention how quick it was to prepare. I would definitely make it again. I served it with a side of steamed broccoli and a simple polenta (used the rest of the orange zest in the polenta as an experiment and it turned out really good.

Salmon was good. I would make it again though half the marinade is required. Quinoa was bland and under-seasoned. I would modify the quinoa. Otherwise good.

Happy birthday to our beloved Holy Father,
Pope Benedict XVI
Long may he continue to be our shepherd, teacher and visible sign of the unity of God's Church

I am a Dutch Catholic from the north of the Netherlands. In this blog I wish to provide accurate information on current affairs in the Church and the relation with society. It is important for Catholics to have knowledge about their own faith and Church, especially since these are frequently misrepresented in many places. My blog has two directions, although I use only English in my writings: on the one hand, I want to inform Dutch faithful - hence the presence of a page with Dutch translations of texts which I consider interesting or important -, and on the other hand, I want to inform the wider world of what is going on in the Church in the Netherlands.
It is sometimes tempting to be too negative about such topics. I don't want to do that: my approach is an inherently positive one, and loyal to the Magisterium of the Church. In many quarters this is an unfamiliar idea: criticism is often the standard approach to the Church, her bishops and priests and other representatives. I will be critical when that is warranted, but it is not my standard approach.
For a personal account about my reasons for becoming and remaining Catholic, go read my story: Why am I Catholic?

Getting awkward with Adam Ray
By Keegan Prosser
Adam Ray may call Los Angeles home now, but the comedian and actor honed his craft growing up in the Greater Seattle area – something he admits influences his humor.
"Growing up in my neighborhood, people were chill and accepting," Ray says. "And I had really funny friends around me growing up. I surrounded myself with people that made me laugh."
Along with his standup comedy, Ray produces a slew of short comedy videos for his website, and released his debut CD "In Your Boobs" last year. Ray's TV credits include ABC's "According to Jim" and MTV's "Human Giant" – and this summer he's staring alongside Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy in "The Heat."
The Scene recently caught up with Ray in advance of his first set of headlining hometown shows:
SCENE: If you had to describe your act in two words what would they be?
Adam Ray: Awkwardly personal?
SCENE: What inspires your "awkwardly personal" act?
AR: I pull a lot of my material from my own experiences because it's more exciting to talk about. I feel like the best comedy is when the comedian is excited about what they're taking about. It's kind of challenging to make personal experiences relatable to an audience… but I take pride in being able to do that, and being able to share that with audiences.
SCENE: You dabble in several mediums – making videos and podcasts, acting and doing standup. What do you enjoy most?
AR: I came down [to L.A.] to do acting, so I consider myself an actor first. That's what I want to do more. Standup up keeps you busy. And the more you do it, the more you hone your voice. Standup is great because it's so raw – anything can happen. Standup is kind of my live fix; I did a lot of stage acting in school and [standup provides] that live audience fix I miss from doing plays.
SCENE: How was working with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy in "The Heat" (in theaters now)?
AR: It was incredible. They're two of the coolest people I've ever met, in addition to being some of the greatest actors we've seen in a long time.
SCENE: Do you think being from Washington makes your comedy different from other comedians?
AR: Yeah. I think everybody – that's one of the great things about standup – you get people from all walks of life. People from Seattle are really open-minded – so that's beneficial in standup.
SCENE: What's it like performing in your home state? How is it different?
AR: There is a flavor of acceptance in Seattle. People like performing [here] because it's an incredibly open, smart audience. I use my words a lot, I'm not a one-liner comic; I tell stories. It's nice to perform in a place where people listen – and don't just want to here dirty stuff. I mean they're pretty cerebral, they want to hear smart jokes. But they'll also love when a dwarf gives someone a lap dance for 10 minutes.
SCENE: What can audiences expect at the Parlor Live?
AR: There's gonna be a lot of new material – and definitely a lot more Seattle-based stuff, with the passing of marijuana laws and the NBA stuff going on. I don't ever get too controversial about stuff; I like to have a point of view, but I'm still a comic. I feel I provide a pretty lighthearted view on things. A lot has happened in the last year that provides for good material.
You can find out more about Adam Ray (@adamraycomedy) on his website. Ray performs at Parlor Live Comedy Club July 5-6. $15-30, tickets HERE.

My significant other wants me to take some kind of a supplement. I guess I'm cool with that so long as it's a vegetarian capsule and won't be toxic in my system.
Does anybody have any recommendations? I'd prefer for them to be reasonably priced.
Thanks :)

Depends on what you feel you need and are not getting enough of. There are so many choices out there. From a pill to E3 Live to powders to put in smoothies.

Tacoma Man Says During DUI Arrest, 'My Blood Will Only Test Positive For God'

Finland may have the right idea when it come to scary PSAs. Sure, our PSAs feature real-life victims or using fried eggs to symbolize drugs frying our brain but this PSA out of Finland uses some of the creepiest images you could imagine for a child.

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.

Wolverine Debuts On Top In May
Three Number Ones In The Top 25
Published: 06/19/2003 12:00am
The power of the 'first' issue was on display in Diamond Comic Distributors list of comics shipped in May. Three number one issues made the top 25, with Wolverine #1 grabbing the top spot with sales of nearly 159,000 copies. The negative effect of the 'first issue phenomenon' was also on display in the precipitous drop of the second issue of Transformers Generation One, which fell some 37,000 copies from the first issue that shipped in April. Twelve titles in the top 25 were up versus their previous issues while ten declined and three were number ones. Last month's lead title, Batman, dropped some 9,000 copies, while the #2 book in April, Transformers Generation One Vol. 2 #1 dropped all the way to the eleventh spot on the May list with its number 2 issue. In addition to Wolverine's stellar debut, Venom #1 fared extremely well in its re-launch as part of Marvel's Tsunami line.
As was the case in May, Marvel had 13 of the top 15 titles ceding only the number two spot to DC and number eleven to Dreamwave. Nineteen of the top 25 titles were Marvels, with five DCs and one from Dreamwave. The top 25 comics sold by Diamond during April with our estimates of the quantities are:
158,787 Wolverine #1
144,090 Batman #615
105,546 Ultimates #10
104,480 Ultimate Spider-Man #40
102,794 Ultimate Spider-Man #41

50,475 Green Arrow #26
49,279 Captain America #13
We are estimating actual sales by Diamond U.S. (primarily to North American comic stores) rather than pre-orders (as we did for the past several years) because Diamond recently changed its reporting and began basing its indexes on actual sales (see 'ICv2 Kicks Off New Top 300 Reporting'). We use those indexes and publisher sales data to estimate a sales number for Batman (the anchor title diamond uses in its calculations), and use that number and the indexes to estimate Diamond's sales on the remaining titles. Because of that change, we will not be able to do year over year comparisons until February of 2004, but in general, it's an improvement to have actual numbers to work with rather than preorders, which have significant differences from sales.

Traveler's Aide: Ticket in hand no guarantee of a seat on flight
Sponsored Links
Even though the e-mail advised that it was not necessary to call to reconfirm the flights, we did anyway. We talked with an Expedia customer-service agent and he confirmed our changed itinerary. He also gave us our US Airways booking codes and our seat assignments.
However, when we showed up at the US Airways desk at the Columbus airport approximately two hours prior to departure, we were told that we didn't have tickets for our flight home. The airline check-in agent could see that we had confirmations for our flights and seats, but told us that Expedia had not reissued our tickets at the time of the itinerary change.
We were told to call Expedia to get the ticket reissued. We called immediately, and were on the phone for almost an hour. Expedia's staff was not able to accomplish the reissue. We are working people and had to be back home by the following morning, so we finally went ahead and purchased two tickets, each costing an astronomical amount of $1,569.
We wrote to Expedia requesting full restitution of this additional outlay of $3,138. They e-mailed me indicating they were taking it to their "Tier 3" research department, whatever that means. It's a complicated mess … can you help?
—Charles Mullican, Saint Joseph, Mo.
The trouble started back in July 2010, shortly after Mullican booked his tickets. Expedia notified him of a minor change to his itinerary—the flight numbers of his outbound flights on Midwest Airlines had changed—and told him he did not need to call to confirm his flights. But for some reason, Expedia did not reissue the tickets for his return flights on US Airways. That was the travel giant's first mistake.
Meanwhile, Mullican had no idea that anything was awry. Nor should he have; a simple ticket reissue should have taken place behind the scenes in the two and a half months from the itinerary change to his flight date. He dutifully called to reconfirm his flights, even though he didn't need to, and headed to the airport, confirmation details in hand, only to discover he didn't have valid tickets to fly home.
US Airways agents couldn't help him: It was Expedia's error, and only Expedia could fix it. But when Mullican called Expedia for assistance, its customer-service agents bungled the call.
"The agent assisting Mr. Mullican should have immediately escalated his call to an agent who was authorized to immediately reissue the tickets," says Expedia representative Katie Brennan. "The agent didn't do so, which inconvenienced Mr. Mullican greatly."
Mullican, under pressure to get home and return to work, couldn't wait for Expedia any longer. He purchased new tickets rather than risk missing his flight home.
I've cautioned travelers about buying replacement airline tickets when trouble crops up, since airlines are typically loathe to reimburse them, but Mullican didn't have valid tickets at all. Even so, it was a risk: Would Expedia reimburse him for the new, much more costly tickets, or just refund his original ones?
Once home, Mullican requested a refund from Expedia. He sent in appropriate documentation, and his request was sent to Expedia's "Tier 3" department, its highest level of customer service, for investigation. He was told he would receive a response within 90 days. This didn't sit well with Mullican, who was left holding a hefty credit-card debt from the ticketing snafu, and wanted a guaranteed resolution before more months dragged by.
I sent his complaint to Expedia, which looked into the blunders that left Mullican ticketless in Columbus. It found that Mullican did everything correctly and that the problems were due to agent errors. The travel site refunded Mullican the full $3,138, and also gave him a $100 voucher towards a future flight booking.
"Expedia takes complete ownership of the situation," says Brennan. "It was unfortunate, but correctable. Expedia has educated the agents responsible as to the proper protocol moving forward."

The movie opens in the hellish Los Angeles of the year 2029. We see a world destroyed by nuclear war and run by sophisticated machines that have decided to obliterate the weak humans who created them. The action then shifts back to Los Angeles in 1984. In two separate locations, two men--the
Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn)--materialize out of what appear to be small electrical storms and wander off into the night. The next day, after having stolen several deadly weapons and a car, the Terminator looks up the name "Sarah Connor" in the phone book.
There are three Sarah Connors listed. The stoical mystery man sets off to kill each of them. Two of the women are killed, but the third (Linda Hamilton) has gone out for the evening. Noticing she is being followed by Reese, the nervous Sarah ducks into a nightclub aptly named Tech Noir and tries
to disappear into the crowd. But the Terminator has traced her to the nightclub. Fortunately for her so has Reese. From him Sarah will learn about her destiny and that of the human race.
THE TERMINATOR is an amazingly effective picture that becomes doubly impressive when one considers its small budget. Looking better than most big-budget efforts, it contains dozens of impressive visual effects, including some very good stop-motion animation. For our money, this film is far
superior to its mega-grossing mega-budgeted sequel. This is fresh, exciting, and surprisingly witty viewing. Like most genre films made post-STAR WARS, it alludes to many other works. However, this film went a bit further than most. The producers were successfully sued by cult fantasy author
Harlan Ellison who claimed that significant chunks of plot and imagery were lifted from two of his celebrated teleplays for "The Outer Limits," a beloved science fiction series from the early 1960s. The two episodes in question are "Soldier" and "Demon with a Glass Hand." Anyone who has seen those
episodes will readily agree that THE TERMINATOR took its homage a bit too far. leave a comment

Years ago, I served on the board of a religious institution. At the annual meeting, we presented a budget to the membership that included an increase in the amount of the preschool line item. An older member vehemently objected stating that the preschool should be self-sufficient. I button-holed the President during this rant and told him that if I ever forgot that the very reason for our existence was to educate a new generation, he had my permission to tell me it was time to leave town.
If all of our children are not well educated and loved, none of us will thrive. America is both a country of rugged individualists and a caring community. To the sad, selfish, short-sighted people leading a campaign to vote no on the Wake County School Bond, I say, start packing.

Tell the President not to Cave-corrected link
Please take a few minutes out of your day to email President Obama. Tell him not to give in to the bullying and lying by the Republican Party about the Affordable Health Care Act. These people are willing to shut down the government because of their irrational hatred of Barack Obama. Our soldiers won't be paid! Hardships on the poor and senior citizens has already been institutionalized.
Don't be fooled. This is no longer only about Tea Party Extremists. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, has just led his House Republicans to vote to delay Obamacare by one year.
It takes a special kind of selfishness to want to deny Americans access to health insurance coverage. Especially when those same Americans are paying for the health care of these very hypocrites.
Human beings in the United States of America should not have to choose between buying food or taking their children to the doctor. And getting cancer should not mean bankruptcy.
Republicans want government to fail. They want President Obama to fail. They want their wealthy campaign contributors and cronies to keep getting lucrative government contracts and jobs while the poor and middle class languish.
No more lies! Tell the President to stay the course.

We Don't Need No Education
I just bought my first - and last - ticket for the NC "Education" Lottery. Not because it was a stupid waste of $1.00. Not even because the woman at the drug store told me that she sells $800 worth of tickets to folks on a regular basis. But, because on the ticket, under the number "4", the word is spelled "f-o-r".
It has never been about education. All the warnings of supplantation of the education budget have come true. Me? I'm a stickler for proper spelling.

Charlotte-area legislators, dean will study N.C. teacher pay-Charlotte Observer, 9/12/13
The brain trust at the NCGA that wrote the state budget this year--you know the one, it was devastating to teachers and public education - have created a committee to advise them on teacher pay. Does anyone else want to shout, "Pay Teachers a Living Wage!!"?
There is just a little more advice I would offer, without the benefit of a Committee Room, microphone or gavel.
1. Do not fire teachers.
2. Do not fire teacher assistants.
3. Do not dismantle the NC Teaching Fellows Program.
4. Do not raise the limit on class size.
5. Do not remove the small bump in pay for teachers who earn advanced degrees.
6. Do not require teachers to pay for their own substitutes.
7. Do not stop paying for teachers to earn National Board Certification.
8. Do not provide taxpayer money to private and religious schools for children whose parents can afford the tuition on their own.
9. Do not lift the cap on the number of charter schools and then remove any accountability by their leaders.
10. Do not keep saying that this budget gave more to public schools than ever before, because the facts say otherwise.
Oh wait. The NC GOP majority has done everything listed above. You do not need a committee. You need to restore the budget cuts. Or just admit that your idea of education public policy is to destroy public education completely.

"...a state of mind that takes positive glee in inflicting further suffering on the already miserable." - the Republican Party
July 14, 2013
Hunger Games, U.S.A.
By PAUL KRUGMAN
Something terrible has happened to the soul of the Republican Party. We've gone beyond bad economic doctrine. We've even gone beyond selfishness and special interests. At this point we're talking about a state of mind that takes positive glee in inflicting further suffering on the already miserable.
The occasion for these observations is, as you may have guessed, the monstrous farm bill the House passed last week.
For decades, farm bills have had two major pieces. One piece offers subsidies to farmers; the other offers nutritional aid to Americans in distress, mainly in the form of food stamps (these days officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP).
Long ago, when subsidies helped many poor farmers, you could defend the whole package as a form of support for those in need. Over the years, however, the two pieces diverged. Farm subsidies became a fraud-ridden program that mainly benefits corporations and wealthy individuals. Meanwhile food stamps became a crucial part of the social safety net.
So House Republicans voted to maintain farm subsidies — at a higher level than either the Senate or the White House proposed — while completely eliminating food stamps from the bill.
To fully appreciate what just went down, listen to the rhetoric conservatives often use to justify eliminating safety-net programs. It goes something like this: "You're personally free to help the poor. But the government has no right to take people's money" — frequently, at this point, they add the words "at the point of a gun" — "and force them to give it to the poor."
It is, however, apparently perfectly O.K. to take people's money at the point of a gun and force them to give it to agribusinesses and the wealthy.
Now, some enemies of food stamps don't quote libertarian philosophy; they quote the Bible instead. Representative Stephen Fincher of Tennessee, for example, cited the New Testament: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat." Sure enough, it turns out that Mr. Fincher has personally received millions in farm subsidies.
Given this awesome double standard — I don't think the word "hypocrisy" does it justice — it seems almost anti-climactic to talk about facts and figures. But I guess we must.
So: Food stamp usage has indeed soared in recent years, with the percentage of the population receiving stamps rising from 8.7 in 2007 to 15.2 in the most recent data. There is, however, no mystery here. SNAP is supposed to help families in distress, and lately a lot of families have been in distress.
In fact, SNAP usage tends to track broad measures of unemployment, like U6, which includes the underemployed and workers who have temporarily given up active job search. AndU6 more than doubled in the crisis, from about 8 percent before the Great Recession to 17 percent in early 2010. It's true that broad unemployment has since declined slightly, while food stamp numbers have continued to rise — but there's normally some lag in the relationship, and it's probably also true that some families have been forced to take food stamps by sharp cuts in unemployment benefits.
What about the theory, common on the right, that it's the other way around — that we have so much unemployment thanks to government programs that, in effect, pay people not to work? (Soup kitchens caused the Great Depression!) The basic answer is, you have to be kidding. Do you really believe that Americans are living lives of leisure on $134 a month, the average SNAP benefit?
Still, let's pretend to take this seriously. If employment is down because government aid is inducing people to stay home, reducing the labor force, then the law of supply and demand should apply: withdrawing all those workers should be causing labor shortages and rising wages, especially among the low-paid workers most likely to receive aid. In reality, of course, wages are stagnant or declining — and that's especially true for the groups that benefit most from food stamps.
So what's going on here? Is it just racism? No doubt the old racist canards — like Ronald Reagan's image of the "strapping young buck" using food stamps to buy a T-bone steak — still have some traction. But these days almost half of food stamp recipients are non-Hispanic whites; in Tennessee, home of the Bible-quoting Mr. Fincher, the number is 63 percent. So it's not all about race.
What is it about, then? Somehow, one of our nation's two great parties has become infected by an almost pathological meanspiritedness, a contempt for what CNBC's Rick Santelli, in the famous rant that launched the Tea Party, called "losers." If you're an American, and you're down on your luck, these people don't want to help; they want to give you an extra kick. I don't fully understand it, but it's a terrible thing to behold.

Breaking: McCrory breaks promise
It should come as no surprise that Gov. Pat McCrory announced he will sign the abortion bill into law. His campaign promise not to allow further restrictions on abortion was a lie. His threatened veto of the Senate bill was a lie because he had made a deal with Skip Stam before it was written.
Same stuff. Different day.

Obamacare Not Debatable.
In typical fashion, the Republicans believe that the Affordable Care Act is still up for debate. Speaker of the House John Boehner continues to refer to it as a bill even though it became law 3 years ago. With every one of the 37 votes the Speaker has taken to repeal Obamacare, he looks ever more the stubborn ideologue. Progressives need to draw this discussion to a close, once and for all. And, Mr. President, you ought to take the lead. Stop the debate. Speak loudly and clearly and get angry.
We are in the implementation phase. Of course, implementation is more difficult because the NC Republican majority in the Legislature and the Republican Governor have steadfastly - and selfishly - refused federal funds to expand Medicaid and to create health care exchanges that will offer cheaper alternatives to our people. The law has already helped parents of college students to keep them on their policy. Denying insurance because of a pre-existing conditions will be a thing of the past.
Democrats need to proudly exclaim that they brought health insurance to millions of Americans. All Americans. Even the nasty and uninformed who surely need coverage like the rest of us. Health care is not a privilege, it is a right.

yo yo beadsSeptember 8, 2012
The beads are pretty, but not what I expected. They were translucent rather than opaque.The two sides of some beads were irregular. This made the channel between the two sides uneven. On the positive side the beads were a good value because they were very modestly priced. I would and did buy more because now I know what to expect

Augmented reality touch interface gives you a remote control robot
So far, augmented reality has been primarily dispatched to control and interact with other humans, but a new system harnesses the technology to allow us to better control and interact with our increasingly useful robot population.
The TouchMe interface was developed by a team of researchers at the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and is designed to allow you to control a robot remotely via simple touch screen interface. The augmented reality part is represented by a ghost image super-imposed over the actual robot. Manipulating this ghost image allows you to control the real robot remotely.
In addition to an easy touch interface, TouchMe also lets you specify which part of the robot to control by simply touching that area. You can see the TouchMe in action in the video below.

i havn't but i wonder if anyone here has
i havn't but i wonder if anyone here has
I had a launch GC that could not longer read discs after a few years. We traded it and bought a newer version and that one has worked like a charm since.
Nintendo makes quality hardware.
Nope, but I formatted my memory card once...I cried too.
The analog stick on my controller broke, but other then that it's worked fine.
I had my original one break a few years in but it was due to e blocking the air vents on each side. I was a little young and didn't think it needed air to work. Other than that I had no problems with it and I had it since the launch Christmas.
the gamecube i bought used had a bad disc reader. It wasn't a problem on games that don't have a ton of loading times (Metroid Prime never failed on me), but when I plopped RE4 in there for the first time, I had major issues getting past parts that would have loads for cutscenes and the like.
My launch Gamecube stopped reading disks; my second one is still going strong.
Mine is still totally fine. Though, I kind of scratched up the top of it a little bit. I put it back in its Gamecube box after getting a Wii, and I guess that box probably got moved around more than it should. It breaks my heart, man. My beautiful, precious Gamecube! Scarred for life! Why, God, WHHYYY???
My friend's GC's disk tray constantly pops up, although all he played was Madden...
Serves him right I guess.
A Gamecube break? Ha! Those things are freaking indestrubile weapons.

When it comes to third-party contracts, the rule of thumb is "trust, but verify." What's more, recovery of money is not the exception, it is the norm in most cases. Some organizations lose revenue, license fees, royalties, or pay higher amounts to partners than they should to third parties with which they have contractual arrangements. Contract Compliance Services (CCS) can help them recover those funds and improve internal processes to help ward off further losses and over-payments. In addition, other non-financial benefits can be achieved, such as process enhancement and improved relationships between business partners, among others.
CCS helps clients identify financial misreporting and reset the compliance baseline underpinning contractual relationships with business partners, which can result in potential collections or savings with significant return on investment (ROI). CCS can help increase the communication and understanding of contractual terms and obligations between the client and its business partner, leading to improved reporting processes and partner relationships. CCS services include:

Ferdinand de Saussure
Ferdinand de Saussure (/sɔːˈsʊr/ or /soʊˈsʊr/; French: [fɛʁdinɑ̃ də sosyʁ]; 26 November 1857 – 22 February 1913) was a Swiss linguist whose ideas laid a foundation for many significant developments in linguistics in the 20th century. He is widely considered one of the fathers of 20th-century linguistics. One of his translators, Emeritus Professor of Linguistics (Oxford University), Roy Harris, summarized Saussure's contribution to linguistics and the study of language in the following way: "Language is no longer regarded as peripheral to our grasp of the world we live in, but as central to it. Words are not mere vocal labels or communicational adjuncts superimposed upon an already given order of things. They are collective products of social interaction, essential instruments through which human beings constitute and articulate their world. This typically twentieth-century view of language has profoundly influenced developments throughout the whole range of human sciences. It is particularly marked in linguistics, philosophy, psychology, sociology and anthropology". The fundamental dimensions of linguistic organization introduced by Saussure are still basic to many approaches to  ( Wikipedia article )

We'll be at Carabar this Saturday, August 3rd, along with Saintseneca, LVL UP and Mallwalkers. If you haven't seen us for a bit, and chances are you haven't since we've been in hiding most of 2013, then we've got a bunch of new material we'd like you to check out. The new record, to be titled Take It Down, is nearly done being tracked and the vast majority of its songs make up our current live set, so if you come with a tape recorder you can pretty much own the record before we do. Moon High go on first at 10pm sharp. Don't be late!
Please join us next Saturday, May 11th at A&R Bar. We'll be debuting a new song from our forthcoming album, 'Take It Down', as well as playing a handful of other songs from that record that have been in slow rotation in our increasingly infrequent live performances.
More details on the release of 'Take It Down' to follow in the coming months!
We are on a temporary hiatus from live shows while we create this new record. Please wish us luck and stay tuned for updates. See you all sometime next year!
Moon High have re-entered the studio and are in the midst of some recordings we are eager to share with everything. We'd also like to wish 'Six Suns' a happy birthday, and to celebrate we're marking down prices on the vinyl LPs! Limited edition white vinyl (which is all the more limited these days) is now only $12, while your standard issue black vinyl is down to the very reasonable price of $10. Both, of course, include a free digital download and can be found at our own online STORE, open twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, for your convenience.
Also, we are on a bit of a booking hiatus while we focus on finishing up these new recordings, and subsequently try to work them into our live set, but we do have a few appearances lined up for August where we may or may not debut some of them. Only one way to know......
Dates for Chicago, Milwaukee, Davenport and Madison have been confirmed for next week. This is our first time in a long time heading west of the Ohio, so please come catch us while you can.
We're making a trip to NY in a few weeks thanks to our good friends (and excellent band), Revival Times. If you're one of our NY friends, please come see us! And if you're not, please come anyway! All is welcome.
Even more live dates have been added for September, including a trip to Athens with our good friends Time and Temperature, and a spot at Ravari as part of Music Week Columbus. More to be announced for October soon.
Do you have your copy of 'Six Suns' yet? If not, please visit our store, or come see us at one of the many live shows added at the right. 'Six Suns' is also available at your favorite local record store, including Lost Weekend, Spoonful, Used Kids, Omega (for Daytonians) and Shake It (for Cincinnatians).
Very pleased to announce that we'll be doing a live on-air session for Pat Radio on Thursday, July 14th, at 8:30pm. Thanks again to Pat and Electraplay Studios for making that happen.
If you haven't picked up a copy of the latest 614 Magazine yet, you can check out the very nice article that Adam Scoppa wrote for us on their website. Also, be on the lookout for a 'Six Suns' feature in next week's Alive Magazine.
We've added some new live dates, including a spot on the 614 Magazine Showcase at Skully's and an in-store performance at Spoonful Records on Sunday, July 17th to celebrate their 1 Year Anniversary.
Copies of 'Six Suns' will be in hand next week, following a tour of the Gotta Groove plant, and we need to remind you once more to please attend our release show at Rumba Cafe on July 16th. Please see the post below for all the reasons you should not miss it....but if you do for some reason, it will be available Sunday, July 17th at Lost Weekend Records, Spoonful Records, and Used Kids.
The release of our second full length album, 'Six Suns', is only two weeks away now. As mentioned previously, we've got some special plans for the release show that night. Not only are two of our favorite bands playing (see side bar for clarification), but Sven Khans will be joining us on a few numbers with his lapped steel and the Sisters Alwood are providing added harmony to a couple tunes as well. Just trying to throw in some more reasons why this show should not be missed.
In other 'Six Suns' related news, an interview we did with Adam Scoppa will be featured in the July issue of 614 Magazine, and we're setting something up with Mr. Chris DeVille at the Columbus Alive that will hopefully run in next week's issue.
Still working on booking additional dates for the summer, so please check back in soon for more info about that. Also, please remember to check us out on Facebook, where you can sample a few songs from the new record. While you're there, go ahead and 'like' us...if you like us.
We're about a month away from the release of our second full length album, 'Six Suns', and could not be more excited. Just finished up an interview for 614 Magazine that will be in the July issue, and have planned to do a feature with Mr DeVille at Columbus Alive...so please keep a lookout for both of those. We'll be at Rumba Cafe this Friday, June 17th, with Ms. Ashley Brooke Toussant, of Kent, and Megan Palmer and The Hopefuls, which we're very much looking forward to. We've got some special plans for the release show in July that we hope to be able to share soon; and we're working on booking more dates this summer, a handful of which will be out of town. More to come...
We are very pleased to announce the upcoming release of our full length sophomore album, 'Six Suns', which will be available on vinyl and digital download July 16, 2011. The first 100 copies are hand numbered white vinyl, and every record will include a free digital download. Please check back for more updates and release show announcements outside of Columbus.
Busy, busy, busy. New shows announced at the right. New record almost finished and expected to be born sometime this summer. Site will be receiving a facelift while we wait on the vinyl to be pressed, and will be better off for it. Spring is here, spirits are high, and newness is the word. More to come soon.

Happy New Year! Intrepid Studios Has Been Re-designed [Rejoice]
Remember way back when I posted about the upcoming redesign? It's here! I figured it was a good time to spend a couple days and finish up the last few modifications to the site.
One of the big features I added was RSS support for many different types of things like projects, releases, tags, blog posts, designs, etc. You can keep up-to-date pretty easily now.
I don't want to spoil anything for you, so just have a look around!
Other than this redesign, I hope to work more on my Code Canyon projects and release some new material. I may also play with some Android application development.
If you've been wondering what I've been up to, I currently work full-time at General Mills as a programmer analyst. I won't be taking on any huge projects because of that, but if you have a small one, feel free to pass it by me.

Avid To Request A Hearing Regarding NASDAQ Staff Determination Letter
Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVID) announced today that on August 29, 2013 it received a letter from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ Staff") indicating that unless the Company requests a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel ("Panel") by September 5, 2013, the Company's common stock would be subject to delisting based upon its non-compliance with NASDAQ's filing requirement, as set forth in Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) ("Rule"). The Staff's determination letter was issued in accordance with standard NASDAQ procedures due to the delayed filing of the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and Forms 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 (collectively, "Delinquent Reports").
The Company has requested a hearing before the Panel and also requested a stay of the Staff's delisting determination. As a result of this request, the delisting of the Company's common stock is automatically stayed until at least September 20, 2013 and, assuming the Panel grants the Company's request for a stay, any final delisting action will be further stayed until at least the Panel's final determination following the hearing. At the hearing, the Company will present its plan to regain compliance with the Rule and request the continued listing of its common stock on NASDAQ pending such compliance. The Panel has the discretion to grant the Company an extension until March 14, 2014 to regain compliance with the Rule. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's requests.
As previously announced, the Delinquent Reports were not timely filed due to the Company's ongoing accounting evaluation and pending restatement of its financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and quarterly periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, June 30, 2012 and 2011, and September 30, 2012 and 2011. For more information regarding the accounting evaluation, please see the Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 filed by the Company on August 12, 2013, and the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 21, 2013.

International Students' Frequently Asked Questions
- What are some resources that I might want to take advantage of at GSCD? answer
- Which employers often hire international students? answer
- How will an internship be helpful in relation to my career development? answer
- When can I start interning once I am enrolled at the Elliott School? answer
- Am I eligible for a paid off-campus internship? answer
- How do I search for a paid on-campus internship? answer
- How long will my job search take? answer
1. What are some resources that I might want to take advantage of at GSCD?
We understand that communication and/or writing skills in English can be a challenge for some international students. The career coaches will be able to help you with the following:
- Cover letter and resume critiques
- Creating effective emails to alumni requesting informational interviews to discuss their professional interests and learn about their workplace environments
- Practicing your interviewing skills through mock interviews with career coaches
- Tips on networking and how to reach out to professionals, which is a critical part of the job search
2. Which employers often hire international students?
- Many international students seek to remain in the United States for at least a year after graduation and find their nationality is an advantage in working for an international organization such as the United Nations, World Bank, or Inter-American Development Bank
- Major management consulting firms, selected development consulting firms, research institutions, and think tanks may hire international students
- It is best to discuss this question with a career coach to determine, based on your professional interest and past professional experience, which employers are good targets for further research and informational interviews with Elliott School alumni
3. How will an internship be helpful in relation to my career development?
- The practical work experience gained through a full- or part-time internship with an American or international employer may prove invaluable and can lead to wider career opportunities upon graduation
- International students will develop a better understanding of the American workplace and the skills needed to perform effectively with an international employer
- A successful internship may result in an invaluable mentoring relationship with a professional in a position to assist with future job contacts and employer references
- For specific information on regulations regarding unpaid or volunteer work, please contact the International Student Service Office (ISO)
- For more information about Internship Resources, please visit ESCC
4. When can I start interning once I am enrolled at the Elliott School
If the internship is advertised as unpaid, it is best to speak with your ISO advisor to detour any potential problems or situations that may affect your immigration status. For more information, please contact the International Services Office at email@example.com
5. Am I eligible for a paid off-campus internship?
If you are in F-1 status and have been enrolled full-time at the university for one full academic year as an F-1 student, you can apply for Curricular Practical Training (.pdf).
6. How do I search for a paid on-campus internship?
You can either search through ESCC, pay attention to emails sent to by Elliott School to your GW email account, or visit GWork to search for paid on-campus positions. Note: International students cannot be employed in a position with benefits.
7. How long will my job search take?
The length of a job search will vary depending upon many factors, including: years of prior professional experience in a field, focus and clarity concerning targeted employers, and the "fit" of your experience and demonstrated skills with available jobs.
It's very important to begin your job search, explore career options, obtain relevant background information on a field, and initiate contacts with faculty and alumni during your first year at the Elliott School.

Will there be soon a weight control & loss program like WW or LoseIt that is specifically created for us diabetics. My MD has me on both programs because neither suffices the actual process of weight loss, food intake control and diabetic nutrition requirements. And let me tell you it is terribly frustrating and absorbing to be 6x daily inside both programs
I am doing very well for over a year with my glucose control and soooo slow in the weight loss phase of this process. Yes I know calories in/calories out + and physical activity in order to lose it. Yet is does not work as I would expect it. I am on glutten free, limited dairy and counting calories and points….so tired.
