Federal Convention and the Constitution Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – "So how did they arrive in Philadelphia on the 14th of May 1787? They were supposed to have this convention. And why would we care about that today? Well, the reason we ought to care about it is because of the pretenses under which they were meeting. What Madison and Hamilton had told the public and what they had told the legislators and the legislatures of the thirteen states was: Loo….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – When I say dark sides, one of the things that we confront here is that there is a choice being made here, and it is being made in the affirmative, and that is that in all instances, because somebody says so today in 2014, an Article V amendment convention or a liberty amendment is always preferable to upending our precious republican form of government and doing something stupid like trying to nullify or declare unconstitutional an a….Continue
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This particular individual [Mark Levin] is making the claim about James Madison. He has his army of acolytes out there making the claim [mocking] "What the Tenth Amendment Center, and what Mike Church and Kevin Gutzman and Tom Woods and the rest of these rabblerousing, ill-informed losers is trying to do is undo our union. They want secession. They don't want nullification. They don't want Article V." Well, that's….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I'm sure you know, Senator Long, that prior to the election of Ronald Wilson Reagan, there was another gentleman who had a very similar effort over a balanced budget amendment Article V Amendment Convention. They were very close to getting a convention called until the election of Reagan. Reagan basically promised those gentlemen: Look, we're going to deal with this budget deficit. Of course, in the early '80s you had Gra….Continue
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – What I think I figured out is that the Obamacare act has so many of you so frustrated, politically frustrated, and since it has become nearly the singular cause célèbra of the "conservative movement," and that there doesn't seem to be a constitutional remedy to escape it. We're not going to take it, but there are probably three constitutional remedies. Check out today's transcript for the rest…….Continue
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Some people seem to think that with the passage of Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act) that the end of the world is coming, and coming soon! There seems to be an incredible despair out there... or at least on Facbook, Twitter, and other news shows. It's getting to where Obamacare is seriously affecting people's day to day lives, how they interact with their families and friends, this cannot be healthy f….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – But this urban legend that is creeping in about what the commissioners were sent and the delegates were sent to do in Philadelphia, this has got to stop. This is coming from some guy named Rob Natelson, who has allegedly researched this. Apparently he hasn't actually read any of the commission statements. If you read the commissions, I don't see how you can take anything else away from them other than don't go there and do a….Continue
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Just like with the incorporation doctrine, after I share it, then I am hectored and heckled. My integrity is assailed. Vattel is said to have been some sort of an 18th century quack that no one ever referred to in the United States and you and Gutzman can't prove that. Then the subject of natural-born citizen is that nobody really cares about this unless it applies to Obama, so you and Kevin need to shut up. That's basically ….Continue
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Let me give you the latest example of losing republicanism, this God-awful ruling that comes from the Supreme Court of the United States yesterday. You can read Scalia's entire dissertation on why Kennedy was in error in leading a 5-4 majority in favor of universal DNA swabbing. Now, if you get arrested for anything, wherever it is that you're arrested at, if Deputy Fife decides he wants to swab you to grab some DNA, it's now….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Remember earlier I told you I'd been corresponding with Judge Brennan over an Article V convention and his amendments to the Constitution.

Check out today's transcript for the rest…….Continue
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - A state is a collection of sovereign people. A state is not -- you live in Philadelphia. When your legislature or assembly meets in Harrisburg, that is not the state. That is the elected representatives of the state. The state is the people. The people are the sovereign. The only other way this works is when the king is the sovereign. Check out today's transcript for the rest...….Continue
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The fact that we're having this conversation demonstrates yet again that the Constitution is not the work of a God; it's the work of fallible men. They did not and could not have possibly foreseen all the damage and usurpations that would be visited upon the compact by designing men. You have to perceive these things. Their attitude was correct. You have to go into the proceedings and legislative sessions or conventions with the ….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - We were told on November 7th or 8th when these petitions first hit the WhiteHouse.gov website, that these were just temper tantrums from sore losers who would move on. The White House posted the little response that these people would move on, that the knuckle-dragging Neanderthals that had asked about secession would crawl back in their caves and we'd nevermore hear about this silliness because we all know that Lincoln settled this ….Continue

That is foolhardy to me, especially if you're trying to play the demographic….Continue

I am making the gloves using Chroma from Knit Picks with size 2 needles. I try on as I go, and the first glove is definitely a right hand glove. If i try it on my left hand it bunches where it shouldn't. There is no direction for a glove for the left hand, and I'm trying to figure out how to reverse the shaping. Has anyone made these gloves? If I start the thumb shaping on needle #3, would that work? It's a lovely glove and knits up well in the Chroma. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, PatH
Generally you reverse what you did for the other hand. So if the thumb shaping for the right hand starts three stitches from the start of the round, then to do the left you would do the shaping three stitches from the end. You might want to look at other glove patterns to get a general idea.

Spoiler Shield is the first line of defense against spoilers
Chances are good that if you've followed a big hit show -- say Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, or Scandal -- at some point the internet has ruined a big plot twist. You've got the episode DVR'd at home, waiting for you while you live your life. Then, while checking your Twitter or Facebook timelines, some jerk you follow suddenly spills the beans:
Can't believe they killed all those dragons in Game of Thrones with AK-47s. Didn't see that coming.
- John-Michael Bond (@BondJohnBond) April 18, 2014
All you can do is scream "NO!" to the heavens. You wouldn't want to seem overly sensitive for deleting someone just for spoilers. Up until now your only options were to avoid social media or deal with the consequences, but now there's a better way. Spoiler Shield is a free iOS app that allows you to scan your Facebook and Twitter feeds without worrying about unintentionally finding out who killed who this week.
When you're viewing your feeds with the app, any post that matches your specified "shields" appears blocked, with the option to reveal the devious text if you'd like. You can see what that blocking looks like in this screenshot. Your shields block spoiling tweets regardless of when they appear during the week, so it's an easy and efficient way to keep yourself in the dark.
Spoiler Shield doesn't just work for TV nerds; assorted shields are available blocking spoilers about various sports leagues and celebrities. Best of all, it allows you to select which specific teams to have shielded so you can keep up with scores without ruining the game you want to watch. While the app has an incredibly broad list of shows that can be shielded, it doesn't allow you to input custom options, so you're out of luck on more obscure programs.
Even if you don't use the app to block potential spoilers, it's worth considering as an alternative to the native Twitter or Facebook apps. It's nice to be able to post, like, comment, retweet, and favorite without having to switch in and out of apps. The interface is fast and clean, and short of private messaging capabilities Spoiler Shield can basically do everything those other apps do.
With weeks left in season 4 of Game of Thrones and summer series just around the corner, it's wise to safeguard your friendships from spoiler arguments. Convincing people online not to be jerks is hard. Take the option out of their hands with Spoiler Shield.

Nice hotel with really comfy beds! (They are usually pretty hard in Vietnam). The bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, but all in all it's a good place for a short stay. The staff is a bit keen on selling you bus trips right on your arrival though.

Exhibits University of Oregon Libraries
Exhibits at the University of Oregon Libraries
The exhibits program of the University of Oregon Libraries is a valuable means of promoting the educational mission of the libraries and its relationship with the academic community.
The goals of the exhibit program are
- to highlight the strengths and diversity of the library's collections
- to promote library programs and campus events
- to acknowledge gifts and to encourage giving
- to celebrate library and university milestones and accomplishments
Current Exhibits:
Senator Wayne Morse, Fierce Independent: Political Cartoons, 1941-1966
"Senator Wayne Morse, Fierce Independent: Political Cartoons, 1941-1966," on display in Knight Library's east and west entryways, recounts in graphic cartoon form the impact Morse had on the nation—in both the political and policy arenas--during his long stay in Washington, D.C. The hand-drawn, original cartoons signed by their creators and published by influential newspapers nationwide, are on display, along with historical background that puts the cartoons in context. The exhibit was made possible through an arrangement between the Wayne Morse Historical Park Corporation and the UO's Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics and the library's Special Collections and University Archives.
For exhibit viewing hours in Knight Library, visit http://library.uoregon.edu/hours/knight/month.
Wayne Morse: From Campus to Congress, 1929-1968
"Wayne Morse: From Campus to Congress, 1929-1968," on display in the exhibit cases on the first floor of Knight Library near the Browsing Room, traces the development of Morse's influence not only on national politics but on state and campus politics as well. The spotlight was trained on Morse early in his career; he became a member of the UO's law school in 1929 and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming the youngest law school dean in the nation at age 30 in 1931. He helped the UO navigate through several notable administrative disruptions throughout throughout his time on campus while simultaneously serving as a presidentially appointed labor arbitrator for much of the Pacific Northwest.
Hooks, Yarns & Bars
An exhibit entitled "Hooks, Yarns & Bars" mounted by the Oregon Folklife Network (OFN) is now on display in Knight Library. The exhibit showcases items crocheted by a group of incarcerated men at the Oregon State Correctional Institute. The group formed a crochet club call Crocheting 4 Community and produces toys, hats, scarves, and blankets that are subsequently donated to nonprofit and charitable causes.
The display includes examples of the group's handiwork, photographs, and quotes from some of its members. The exhibit can be viewed outside OFN's office (Room 242) on the second floor of Knight Library near the South Reading Room. Viewing hours are at library.uoregon.edu/hours/knight/month.
For more information on OFN, visit ofn.uoregon.edu.
Reefer Madness: The Legal History of the Loco Weed
The first cannabis-related law in America was enacted in 1619 by the Virginia Assembly, requiring all farmers to grow the plant. Nearly 400 years later, over half of all drug arrests are for marijuana. This weed has been hit by every type of law, including: international conventions; federal statutes, cases and regulations; state statutes, cases and regulations; and even county and municipal codes. As states begin to experiment with legalizing marijuana, this exhibit explores how marijuana became such a heavily controlled substance. Learn more by visiting the exhibit in the Law Library, located inside the William W. Knight Law Center, 1515 Agate Street, Eugene. The exhibit runs through October 2014.
For Law Library hours, visit http://library.uoregon.edu/hours/law/month.

Dessert is the natural conclusion to a meal, much like an explosion is the natural conclusion to every community-theater production. Give your dinner an exciting finale with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $18 for one six-piece selection of pastries or 8-inch cake (a $36 value)
- $36 for two 8-inch cakes (a $72 value)
The dessert menu includes chocolate and nonchocolate cakes, such as the Chocolate Symphony separated by three layers of Valrhona chocolate mousse or the blueberry cheesecake marbled with real blueberry purée. The pastry selection ranges from crème brûlée to lemon tarts to creamy tiramisu.
Finale Desserterie
In the midst of crimson booths and dark wood tables, the nimble fingers of bustling pastry chefs carefully arrange a medley of sweets atop an open-air dessert stage, their every movement reflected by overhead mirrors to give diners an better view of the decadence they'll soon enjoy. It is this artistic and reverent approach to confections that embodies each dish at Finale Desserterie & Bakery, an upscale sweetness haven initiated by a duo of Harvard Business School graduates. The team crafts each morsel with the grace of a swan's choreographer as they put an inventive spin on classics such as crème brûlée. Although the desserterie specializes in the sweet stuff, savory cravings find satisfaction in salads, pizza, and pasta selections, many of which balance palates with suggested wine pairings.
The presentation was beautiful and the taste was perfect.Marceline V., Yelp, 1/27/13
Finale has exceptionally tasty food.Laura B., Yelp, 12/21/12
"It was AMAZING- Great Date Night :D"

Cleaning to kick off the season is a commonly practiced spring tradition. But it's not limited to just kitchens and basements; it includes the Chattahoochee River.
Most people usually welcome spring, with its pleasant temperatures, blooming florals, and sunny skies. But for those with allergies, it can cause a runny, itchy nose, irritated eyes, and constant sneezing.
Don't put away your winter clothes just yet. While the past few days may have felt like an early glimpse of spring, some chilly days are returning to finish the week.
Students at Chestatee High School in Gainesville spent their class time on Friday serving the community with good deeds and improving their skill sets.
Georgia residents who bought a car in 2012 or early 2013 have until the end of the week to opt out of the birthday tax and into a new one-time title tax.
Valentine's Day was a special occasion for the ladies at Performance Foodservice Milton's in Oakwood. While some companies may have treated the holiday like any other workday, men at the food distribution company went all out to ensure female employees were treated like queens.
Many students at Mount Vernon Exploratory School enjoyed a special school day Wednesday, complete with comfy pajamas and an Italian ice. The best part? It was to help a fellow classmate.
The weather this weekend is "going to be great" according to National Weather Service forecaster Mike Leary.
January and February are peak months for the spread of flu, according to flu.gov, and Gainesville has not been spared this winter.
Frigid weather conditions are returning for several nights this week, with temperatures forecast to dip into the teens.
The start of a new year will also see a new director of public safety for the University of North Georgia.
Charitable organizations in the area experienced a surge in donations at year's end as individuals sought to qualify for a write-off on their 2013 taxes.
Many people will celebrate New Year's Eve with parties and cocktails while watching the ball drop. This often leads to high numbers of DUIs and traffic accidents as people - some sober, some not - head home from holiday festivities.
Northeast Georgia welcomes winter today and a forecast calling for a sunny, cool Christmas - as usual, with no snow in sight.
The Christmas season usually brings fun outings, delicious food and festive decorations. However, these merry perks can be hazardous to furry friends.
Georgia Mountain Food Bank in Gainesville got an early Christmas gift Wednesday when Perdue Farms delivered 46,000 pounds of frozen chicken and meat products.
Over 80 residents of Bell Minor Nursing Home were treated to handmade "lap cozies" from members of the Hall County Quilt Guild on Wednesday during a small morning reception in Gainesville.
Many county and city government offices will be closed due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Little Women: The Musical
Presented by Wellesley Players at Arsenal Center Black Box
October 7 - October 13, 2011
The Louisa May Alcott classic story comes to life at the Arsenal Center for the Arts this fall as the Wellesley Players perform Little Women.

Welcome to the Indian Consulate
India's diplomatic presence in Saudi Arabia goes back to pre-independence period when India had a Vice Consul in the British Embassy in Jeddah to look after Indian pilgrims who came to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for Haj.
Independent India's diplomatic mission was set up in Jeddah in 1948, initially as a Consulate, then as a Consulate General, a Legation, and in 1957 as a full fledged Embassy.

National Response Framework:
FEMA Needs Policies and Procedures to Better Integrate Non-Federal Stakeholders in the Revision Process
GAO-08-768: Published: Jun 11, 2008. Publicly Released: Jun 11, 2008.

Hurricane Katrina illustrated that effective preparation and response to a catastrophe requires a joint effort between federal, state, and local government. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), is responsible for heading the joint effort. In January 2008, DHS released the National Response Framework (NRF), a revision of the 2004 National Response Plan (2004 Plan), the national preparation plan for all hazards. In response to the explanatory statement to the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008 and as discussed with congressional committees, this report evaluates the extent to which (1) DHS collaborated with non-federal stakeholders in revising and updating the 2004 Plan into the 2008 NRF and (2) FEMA has developed policies and procedures for managing future NRF revisions. To accomplish these objectives, GAO reviewed DHS and FEMA documents related to the revision process, analyzed the relevant statutes, and interviewed federal and non-federal officials who held key positions in the revision process.
While DHS included non-federal stakeholders--state, local, and tribal governments, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector--in the initial and final stages of revising the 2004 Plan into the NRF, it did not collaborate with these stakeholders as fully as it originally planned or as required by the October 2006 Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (Post-Katrina Act). As the revision process began in 2006, DHS involved both federal and non-federal stakeholders by soliciting and incorporating their input in determining the key revision issues and developing the first draft in April 2007. However, after this first draft was completed, DHS deviated from its revision work plan by conducting a closed, internal federal review of the draft rather than releasing it for stakeholder comment because the draft required further modifications DHS considered necessary. DHS limited communication with non-federal stakeholders until it released a draft for public comment 5 months later on September 10, 2007. The following day, non-federal stakeholders testified at a congressional hearing that DHS had shut them out during that 5-month period. In addition, the Post-Katrina Act required that DHS establish a National Advisory Council (NAC) for the FEMA Administrator by December 2006 to, among other things, incorporate nonfederal stakeholders' input in the revision process. However, FEMA stated the necessary time to select quality NAC members required additional time, and FEMA did not announce the NAC's membership until June 2007. The NAC did not provide comments on a revision draft until one month before DHS publicly released the final NRF in January 2008. FEMA anticipates that the NRF will be revised in the future; however, FEMA does not have policies or procedures in place to guide this process or ensure a collaborative partnership with stakeholders. FEMA has emphasized the importance of partnering with relevant stakeholders to effectively prepare for and respond to major and catastrophic disasters, and the Congress, through the Post-Katrina Act, requires such partnership. In addition, the Standards for Internal Controls in the Federal Government calls for policies and procedures that establish regular communication with stakeholders and monitor performance over time as essential for achieving desired program goals. Furthermore, previous GAO work on the Department of Defense's civil support plans and the administration's national pandemic influenza implementation plan has shown the need for participation of state and local jurisdictions in emergency planning. Especially in view of a new administration, the experience of the previous revision process illustrates the importance of collaborating with stakeholders in revising a plan that relies on them for its successful implementation. While the NRF is published by DHS, it belongs to the nation's emergency response community. Developing such policies and procedures is essential for ensuring that FEMA attains the Post- Katrina Act's goal of partnering with non-federal stakeholders in building the nation's emergency management system, including the periodic review and revision of the NRF.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FEMA established provisions that direct the conditions and timing of revisions to the National Response Framework in DHS's Integrated Planning Guidance (a three-year revision cycle with the first revision by the end of fiscal year 2011), and developed a proposed National Response Framework Review and Revision Process paper for consideration by the Congress and National Advisory Council.
Recommendation: The FEMA Administrator should develop and disseminate policies and procedures that describe (1) the circumstances and time frames under which the next NRF revision will occur and (2) how FEMA will conduct the next NRF revision, including how its National Advisory Council and other non-federal stakeholders--state, local, and tribal governments; the private sector; and nongovernmental organizations--will be integrated into the revision process and the methods for communicating with these stakeholders.

Blood Magic
Blood Magic is a keystone passive skill which removes all mana, and causes you to spend life instead of mana for skills. Skills that reserve mana will now reserve life instead. The cost of skills is calculated normally, so reduced mana cost or reduced mana reservation modifiers will reduce the amount of life used. It is not possible to commit suicide through Blood Magic.
Eldritch Battery will not give you back your mana, it will merely remove your energy shield. Mana regeneration will have no effect on a character with Blood Magic.

Mad Men star and new mom January Jones swears she's got something a whole lot better than caffeine to get her through the exhausting work/baby juggle, but somehow we don't think Betty Draper would approve. The actress told People that she battles new mom exhaustion by eating her own placenta, in pill form.
"I have a great doula who makes sure I'm eating well, with vitamins and teas, and with placenta capsulation," says the mom of six-month-old Xander Dane. "It's something I was very hesitant about, but we're the only mammals who don't ingest our own placentas."
Jones says that her placenta was dehydrated and then separated into pill form. She says she's popped the supplement daily since Xander's birth and downs a few extra when she's feeling exhausted or overwhelmed. "It's not witch-crafty or anything! I suggest it to all moms!"
Jones is hardly alone in her love of organ-eating. Post-baby placenta consumption is on the rise among new moms who believe that it contains important nutrients and can helps with milk production, although there's no hard data to back up these claims.
Proponents point out, as Jones has, that we are perhaps the only species of mammals who don't consume our own placenta -- but maybe that's a good thing. Existing research about the benefits of eating the organ -- in pill, cooked or even smoothie form -- is "tenuous," according to an article last year in New York. In the piece, behavioral neuroscientist Mark Kristal from the University of Buffalo, an expert in placenta eating (yes, really), said its nutritional value when cooked is akin to "steer liver." He added that, "every ten or twenty years people say, 'We should do this because it's natural and animals do it.' But it's not based on science. It's a fad."
I'm due with my second child in June and the idea of eating my own placenta simply grosses me out. If January Jones wants to ingest something that spent nine months inside her body as an energy boost -- more power to her. I'm going to stick to caffeine.

Paint Chipping
Member since
First let me state that these are hands down the best cycling sunglasses I have ever worn. That being said I got a little over a year of wear before the paint started chipping where the top of the lens meets the frame. Called Oakley up and since I am over the year warranty I have to shell out $40 to get new frame. Now I just have to go without them for 3-4 weeks.. :-( I would give 5 stars but the paint chipping should not happen with high end sunglasses so 4 stars it is.

By: The Associated Press
SANTA FE (AP) - The House has approved a proposal for schools to provide extra help to students who struggle to read.
The measure is the latest effort by Democrats to offer an alternative to Republican Gov. Susana Martinez's proposal to require schools to hold back third-graders who can't read proficiently, rather than promoting them to the next class.
The governor opposes the proposal by Democratic Rep. Mary Helen Garcia of Las Cruces.
The measure passed the House on a 34-29 vote Monday, with Republicans in opposition.
Under the bill, struggling students through the second grade may be retained - but that's not required - based on decisions by a team of educators. Garcia said parents would be involved in the decision.
The measure goes to the Senate but the Legislature adjourns on Thursday.

CLASSROOM SPOTLIGHT: Imagine School at Palmer Ranch
Date: May 6, 2010
by: Loren Mayo | Community Editor
Sixth-grade students at Imagine School are studying utopian societies through literary works such as "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury and "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut.
Sarah Switzer
What is a utopian society?
It's the idea of a perfect place where everybody is equal and everything is supposed to be perfect and nice.
If you could design your own utopian society, what would it be like?
I would keep everything the same as right now because I like that everybody has differences.
What literary work did you find most interesting?
"The Velt." It takes place in the future with a bunch of new inventions — there's a closet that shoots you up through a tunnel into whatever room you want to be in. It's about a nursery that's two-dimensional, and whatever the kids imagine in their head will appear as walls. It's very mysterious.
Hanna King
Would a utopian society work here?
We try to make a perfect place, but people want power. You can't make everyone equal. These differences make you who you are.
How did the stories you've been reading relate to utopian societies?
They tell how the people keep trying to form one, but you can't really make a perfect place.
Which literary work was your favorite?
"Animal Farm." It was interesting and didn't show people and a perfect society, it used animals. At first, the animals were equal and just wanted good for each other. But some animals started being higher than others.
Jake Mayer
What literary work did you find most interesting?
"Harrison Bergeron." People are made equal by handicaps — the smart people have to wear earpieces so they can't think extra thoughts. The strongest people have to wear ankle weights. Pretty people have to wear bags over their faces. Harrison Bergeron has the most handicaps because he is a perfect person.
What did you learn from this story?
The author proved it's really hard to make a utopian society. It always ends badly.
Caleb Wilson
Was there something in particular that you took away from these literary works?
They got me thinking, not about a perfect place, but about how to make our community better. I'm inspired by what I can help people with. These books would always come up with something that couldn't happen.
Would a utopian society work here?
It's impossible to make a perfect place.
Which literary work was your favorite?
"Animal Farm." The author is trying to say that even with animals, you can't make a perfect place. He's really just showing how humans act and that every society is unfair. When you try to make the idea for a perfect place, everybody goes with it, and then some use it to their advantage.

I used to live around Shoreditch a few years ago and go to this salon (after trying many others). They always did an amazing job of my hair. I moved to Greenwich and for convenience, got it cut here until I realised that no one even closely measured up to the standard of cutting in this salon. I went back a couple of months ago and the standard is still amazing. I'll continue to use this salon for as long as I'm in London.

A pretty boring one that I think I've mostly managed to answer myself, but it was centered around asking what types of pants should be worn with a linen jacket because I'm getting a navy one and also a patterned one for the hot weather.
I was wondering if linen on linen, and not as a suit, would be too much.
I've gotten so used to the idea of always trying to make sure the sports coat is darker than the pants that I'm having a hard time looking at light colored summer jackets and thinking up ways to pair them.

ThePianoMag Meets ThePianoGuys!
Have you ever dreamed of playing your instrument on a thousand foot cliff, inside an ice castle, or on the Great Wall of China? ThePianoGuys have done it all, along with most any other feat you can imagine. Their videos typically feature piano and cello performances in spectacular natural settings. If you haven't seen or heard them yet, watch out—their videos are spreading like wildfire on the internet!
Recently, we had the chance to have an exclusive chat with pianist Jon Schmidt. Schmidt had already been performing his new-age classical style music for twenty years before ThePianoGuys came to life. Their story is an interesting tale—one that might teach musicians a thing or two about creative marketing! We are thrilled to share our conversation with our readers.
You started recording videos as part of a marketing campaign for a piano store. How did that lead to becoming a YouTube sensation?
Paul Anderson is honestly the nicest piano store owner on the planet. I first met him in St. George [Utah] when I did a concert at the outdoor amphitheater there. He supplied the piano and we hit it off. I went to his store to practice for the concert. As I was trying to find creative ways to market music, he rolled out the red carpet for me. He had a YouTube channel and wanted to do some unusual marketing for his store.
Cracking Chopin Arpeggios
I know the last time I promised to report on the book Make it Stick, The Science of Successful Learning and I do plan do that, but, for the moment I will do it in bits and pieces. Let's start with some quotes from the chapter entitled "Embrace Difficulties" and put them together with a few other thoughts.
"Trying to solve a problem before being taught the solution (italics theirs) leads to better learning, even when errors are made in the attempt."
"Learning always builds on a store of prior knowledge."
"Elizabeth and Robert Bjork, who coined the phrase 'desirable difficulties,' write that difficulties are desirable because 'they trigger encoding and retrieval processes that support learning, comprehension and remembering. If, however, the learner does not have the background knowledge or skills to respond to them successfully, they become undesirable difficulties.'"
My dear friend, James Sherlock, a young (30) and intensely gifted British pianist/organist/conductor (look him up—you won't be disappointed) gave me this advice: "Your teacher is someone who is there to be a supportive presence on your journey." He also said "The people who are unable to learn to play the piano fail because they won't take an hour or two to solve every problem as it comes up." (He is also a hard grader.) It was on James' recommendation that I found my piano teacher.
Are You a Workaholic Piano Teacher?
As I reflect on changes I would like to make in the new year (aka New years resolutions), I'd like to share something I've noticed about piano teachers. At the risk of ruffling a few feathers, I'm just going to say it:
Piano teachers tend to be workaholics.
Perhaps that's too much of a generalization and perhaps I think this because I tend to be one myself. But I think it's safe to say that anyone who works from home has a tendency to be a workaholic. It's just difficult to separate ourselves from our work when we work from home. Take a moment to do some inventory:
- Do you frequently find yourself thinking about piano related things on the days you are not teaching?
- Do you teach more than 5 days a week?
- Do you have any large blocks of time during the week in which you are not thinking of music related matters?
- Do you have any free evenings when you can go out with friends who are not self-employed?
- Does your family complain that you work too much?

Zodiac is a furry superhero comic. Those who have "Extraordinary Powers and Abilities" are required to register with the government; these persons are then often hired by major corporations to protect their interests, with the caveat that they must also perform public service.The New Dawn corporation is one such business, who are branching out into hiring supers for the first time. Lead by an enigmatic, probably insane board, Zodiac is a team still learning to work together, while many of the established heroes are finding that going public only has drawn their old enemies to them once more.Also branches off into two other comics, Quetzalcoatlus featuring the Zodiac team and Second Chance featuring Saurus.

It's a big news week for Facebook this week. First, the Wall Street Journal broke the story that Microsoft was discussing buying a small chunk of Facebook.

As for the where they socialize, the Top 10 sites were: MySpace (3.6 million), […]

Support for young videogamers
This is something parents of young Xbox Live users and Internet gamers should be aware of – that kids and teens can experience considerable verbal and text abuse in online-gaming environments and that there are grownup gamers out there supporting them. For example, there's the GR8 Clan gaming group, founded four years ago by Terra […]
Videogames increasingly social
Increasingly, experts are saying that banning a teen's use of social networking is like banning (or more likely inhibiting) his or her social life. That's increasingly true with videogames too.

A K Antony stressed a number of times Thursday that his ministry had used up 92 per cent of the defence budget and major acquisitions may have to wait till the next fiscal. The Defence Minister was addressing the media after inaugurating Defexpo 2014 at Pragati Maidan here.
�There is no money left. All major projects have to wait till April 1,� Antony said.
The statement is significant considering that the armed forces are struggling with obsolete equipment.
On his continuation as the Defence Minister, he said, �I am happy with my performance.�
Facing criticism over delayed procurements and scandals in defence deals, Antony said action against malpractices �might have caused a delay but overall, it has helped streamline the system and a strong signal has been sent to the industry that everybody in defence procurement will get equal opportunity if products are good and prices low�.
�There will be no compromise on transparency. The guilty will be punished,� he said.
Clearly visible throughout his presence at Defexpo was emphasis on indigenisation, as Antony recalled revised offset guidelines, additional priority to �buy Indian� and �buy and make Indian� in the defence procurement policy as achievements of his government to provide a �robust structure for encouraging Indian defence industry�.
On the multi-billion-dollar medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) deal, the Defence Minister said there was �delay� but �negotiations are going on, because of shortage of funds, the deal will finalise in the next financial year�.
There have been concerns regarding life-cycle costs of the MMRCA deal in which French fighter Rafale has been short-listed as the lowest bidder. Rafale was finalised for the 126-aircraft deal from among six contenders in January 2012, but the contract is yet to head towards a closure.

Actor Lee Dong Wook's past school photos show his unchanging good looks
Actor Lee Dong Wook's school photos have been revealed.
On the May 7th broadcast of SBS 'Good Morning', Lee Dong Wook's graduation photos from elementary, junior high, and high school were revealed.

Have you just upgraded to SQL2005? We had this problem after our upgrade. We renamed the docstorage folder and restored our old one from backup. You'll have to edit your folder names if you've changed your instance name.
We have no instance name so our path is:
\DocStorage\ServerName\SIMS\lots of folders etc
If our instance name was SIMS the path would be:
\DocStorage\ServerName\SIMS\sims\lots of folders etc
