Color for Kitchen/Family Room
I have attached pictures of my kitchen/family room which are open to each other. This is a townhouse. Lacking windows. We will be adding black countertops to the oak kitchen. The oak is very orangey. Thought I would set the oak off with a sage green. Like BM nantucket gray. Would probably reduce its strenghth a little. I like the check material (black with beige) for a window treatment. Do you think the green would go???? Also, would you do the same treatments on both sliders in family room and kitchen. If so, panels? Also, do you think because of lighting I need to stick with a lighter color like BM Manchester Tan--- which I was thinking of doing in the living room (image of white couch). Any thoughts? PS the other thought for the living room was BM Shaker Beige.
Realized pictures were not posted. Hope you can see them now. Click on photobucket link.
Here is a link that might be useful: photobucket
I have a family room and I went for soft fern BM which is closed to the color you picked. However I do not like greenish color in kitchens. I think that it gets a kind of dull color that reminds me the avocado baths in the 60-70'. I would go more on the bluesh pail color...almost ice color which looks good with the wood you have around. My 2c.
milele, are you suggesting painting two different paint colors for these two rooms? They are open to each other??? Would it look right with a green in the family room and palish blue in the kitchen??? Do you have a BM color in mind for the kitchen????
I have natural cherry kitchen cabs that have darkened and reddened over the years. They are similar in color to your oak cabs. I think you are on the right track considering a green with a little blue in it. I painted my kitchen SW Clary Sage and I think it really compliments the cabs. My kitchen gets a lot of natural light. If you like the hue of Clary Sage, but your kitchen doesn't get a lot of natural light, you might try Softened Green or Liveable Green.
The sage family will tone down the orange in your cabs. I think that color family would look nice in your family room as well.
Other popular SW sage colors are Grassland and Svelte Sage, but I tried Grassland in my kitchen and it was too yellowish, esp. with the natural light. I needed a cooler sage like Clary Sage.
My favorite kitchen colors are yellow, gold, green and red - the red with white cabinets only. Those are the colors of food.
SW has sample jars of paint for $5 each-well worth the money. Another idea is to take a picture of your rooms to your SW store and ask the color consultant for some recommendations you might want to test.
For even more blue, try SW Austere Gray. I painted my husband's office that color and it's really very nice. It looks grayish on the card, but it looks like a nice, coolish green on the walls. I was pleasantly surprised and I think it might work in a kitchen-definitely would work in a family room. We've gotten a lot of compliments on that color.
Good luck.
Randita,believe it I have been holding onto those two color cards for years. I just pulled them out. I am glad SW sells samples like BM. Clary Sage and Svelte Sage are definately different. Svelte Sage seems like it has some gray in it. Clary Sage seems like a real true green. Will be interesting to see how the lighting in my kitchen affects them. Wondering if the SW Austere Gray is more like BM Nantucket Gray?? Usually is a good sign when you get complients on your color. Will check Auster Gray out also. thank you.
lke, I read on the Home Decorating site that Austere Gray has the same tints and proportions as SW Grassland, but without the yellow.
Clary Sage looks pretty much green in bright and duller light. Svelte Sage and Austere Gray take on more of a gray cast in dim light, but in brighter light definitely look green. Svelte/Grassland just have more yellow in them.

Dr. Josef Allen Hynek (May 1, 1910 – April 27, 1986) was a United States astronomer, professor, and ufologist.[1] He is perhaps best remembered for his UFO research. Hynek acted as scientific adviser to UFO studies undertaken by the U.S. Air Force under three consecutive projects:
For decades afterwards, he conducted his own independent UFO research, developing the Close Encounter classification system, and is widely considered the father of the concept of scientific analysis of both reports and, especially, trace evidence purportedly left by UFOs.[2]
Hynek was born in Chicago to Czech parents. In 1931, Hynek received a B.S. from the University of Chicago. In 1935, he completed his Ph.D. in astrophysics at Yerkes Observatory. He joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Ohio State University in 1936. He specialized in the study of stellar evolution and in the identification of spectroscopic binaries.
During World War II, Hynek was a civilian scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, where he helped to develop the United States Navy's radio proximity fuze.
After the war, Hynek returned to the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Ohio State, rising to full professor in 1950.
In 1956, he left to join Professor Fred Whipple, the Harvard astronomer, at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, which had combined with the Harvard Observatory at Harvard. Hynek had the assignment of directing the tracking of an American space satellite, a project for the International Geophysical Year in 1956 and thereafter. In addition to over 200 teams of amateur scientists around the world that were part of Operation Moonwatch, there were also 12 photographic Baker-Nunn stations. A special camera was devised for the task and a prototype was built and tested and then stripped apart again when, on Oct. 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched its first satellite, Sputnik.
After completing his work on the satellite program, Hynek went back to teaching, taking the position of professor and chairman of the astronomy department at Northwestern University in 1960.
Hynek's son Joel Hynek is an Oscar winning movie visual effects supervisor who directed the design of the so-called camouflage effect from the movie Predator.
In response to many "flying saucer" sightings (later unidentified flying objects), the United States Air Force established Project Sign in 1948; this later became Project Grudge, which in turn became Project Blue Book in 1952. Hynek was contacted by Project Sign to act as scientific consultant for their investigation of UFO reports. Hynek would study a UFO report and subsequently decide if its description of the UFO suggested a known astronomical object.
When Project Sign hired Hynek, he was initially skeptical of UFO reports. Hynek suspected that UFO reports were made by unreliable witnesses, or by persons who had misidentified man-made or natural objects. In 1948, Hynek said that "the whole subject seems utterly ridiculous," and described it as a fad that would soon pass.[3]
For the first few years of his UFO studies, Hynek could safely be described as a debunker. He thought that a great many UFOs could be explained as prosaic phenomena misidentified by an observer. But beyond such fairly obvious cases, Hynek often stretched logic to nearly the breaking point in an attempt to explain away as many UFO reports as possible. In his 1977 book, Hynek admitted that he enjoyed his role as a debunker for the Air Force. He also noted that debunking was what the Air Force expected of him.
Hynek's opinions about UFOs began a slow and gradual shift. After examining hundreds of UFO reports over the decades (including some made by credible witnesses, including astronomers, pilots, police officers, and military personnel), Hynek concluded that some reports represented genuine empirical evidence.
Another shift in Hynek's opinions came after conducting an informal poll of his astronomer colleagues in the early 1950s. Among those he queried was Dr. Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered the dwarf planet Pluto. Of 44 astronomers, five (over 11 percent) had seen aerial objects that they could not account for with established, mainstream science[citation needed]. Most of these astronomers had not widely shared their accounts for fear of ridicule or of damage to their reputations or careers (Tombaugh was an exception, having openly discussed his own UFO sightings[citation needed]). Hynek also noted that this 11% figure was, according to most polls, greater than those in the general public who claimed to have seen UFOs[citation needed]. Furthermore, the astronomers were presumably more knowledgeable about observing and evaluating the skies than the general public, so their observations were arguably more impressive. Hynek was also distressed by what he regarded as the dismissive or arrogant attitude of many mainstream scientists towards UFO reports and witnesses.
Early evidence of the shift in Hynek's opinions appeared in 1953, when Hynek wrote an article for the April 1953 issue of the Journal of the Optical Society of America titled "Unusual Aerial Phenomena," which contained what would become perhaps Hynek's best known statement:
"Ridicule is not part of the scientific method, and people should not be taught that it is. The steady flow of reports, often made in concert by reliable observers, raises questions of scientific obligation and responsibility. Is there ... any residue that is worthy of scientific attention? Or, if there isn't, does not an obligation exist to say so to the public—not in words of open ridicule but seriously, to keep faith with the trust the public places in science and scientists?" (Emphasis in original)[4]
The essay was very carefully worded: Hynek never states that UFOs are an extraordinary phenomenon. But it is clear that, whatever his own views, Hynek was increasingly distressed by what he saw as the superficial manner in which most scientists looked at UFOs. In 1953, Hynek was an associate member of the Robertson Panel, which concluded that there was nothing anomalous about UFOs, and that a public relations campaign should be undertaken to debunk the subject and reduce public interest. Hynek would later come to lament that the Robertson Panel had helped make UFOs a disreputable field of study.
When the UFO reports continued at a steady pace, Hynek devoted some time to studying the reports and determined that some were deeply puzzling, even after considerable study. He once said, "As a scientist I must be mindful of the lessons of the past; all too often it has happened that matters of great value to science were overlooked because the new phenomenon did not fit the accepted scientific outlook of the time."[5]
In a 1985 interview, when asked what caused his change of opinion, Hynek responded, "Two things, really. One was the completely negative and unyielding attitude of the Air Force. They wouldn't give UFOs the chance of existing, even if they were flying up and down the street in broad daylight. Everything had to have an explanation. I began to resent that, even though I basically felt the same way, because I still thought they weren't going about it in the right way. You can't assume that everything is black no matter what. Secondly, the caliber of the witnesses began to trouble me. Quite a few instances were reported by military pilots, for example, and I knew them to be fairly well-trained, so this is when I first began to think that, well, maybe there was something to all this."
Regardless of his own private views, Hynek was, by and large, still echoing the post-Ruppelt line of Project Blue Book: There are no UFOs, and reports can largely be explained as misidentifications.[citation needed]
Hynek remained with Project Sign after it became Project Grudge (though with far less involvement than with Project Sign). Project Grudge was replaced with Project Blue Book in early 1952. Hynek continued as scientific consultant to Project Blue Book. Air Force Captain Edward J. Ruppelt (Blue Book's first director), held Hynek in high regard: "Dr. Hynek was one of the most impressive scientists I met while working on the UFO project, and I met a good many. He didn't do two things that some of them did: give you the answer before he knew the question; or immediately begin to expound on his accomplishments in the field of science."[6]
Though Hynek thought Ruppelt was a capable director who steered Project Blue Book in the right direction, Ruppelt headed Blue Book for only a few years. Hynek has also stated his opinion that after Ruppelt's departure, Project Blue Book was little more than a public relations exercise, further noting that little or no research was undertaken using the scientific method.
Hynek began occasionally disagreeing publicly with the conclusions of Blue Book. By the early 1960s—after about a decade and a half of study—Clark writes that "Hynek's apparent turnaround on the UFO question was an open secret."[4] Only after Blue Book was formally dissolved did Hynek speak more openly about his "turnaround."
By his own admission, the soft-spoken Hynek was cautious and conservative by nature. He speculated that his personality was a factor in the Air Force keeping him on as a consultant for over two decades.
Some other ufologists thought that Hynek was being disingenuous or even duplicitous in his turnaround. Physicist Dr. James E. McDonald, for example, wrote to Hynek in 1970, castigating him for what McDonald saw as his lapses, and suggesting that, when evaluated by later generations, retired Marine Corps Major Donald E. Keyhoe would be regarded as a more objective, honest, and scientific ufologist.[7]
It was during the late stages of Blue Book in the 1960s that Hynek began speaking openly about his disagreements and disappointments with the Air Force. Among the cases where he openly dissented with the Air Force were the highly publicized Portage County UFO chase (where several police officers chased a UFO for half an hour), and the encounter of Lonnie Zamora. A police officer, Zamora reported an encounter with a metallic, egg-shaped aircraft near Socorro, New Mexico.
In late March 1966, in Michigan, two days of mass UFO sightings were reported, and received significant publicity. After studying the reports, Hynek offered a provisional hypothesis for some of the sightings: a few of about 100 witnesses had mistaken swamp gas for something more spectacular. At the press conference where he made his announcement, Hynek repeatedly and strenuously made the qualification[clarification needed] that swamp gas was a plausible explanation for only a portion of the Michigan UFO reports, and certainly not for UFO reports in general. But much to his chagrin, Hynek's qualifications were largely overlooked, and the words "swamp gas" were repeated ad infinitum in relation to UFO reports. The explanation was subject to national derision.
In responding to a request from Colonel Raymond Sleeper, commander of the USAF Foreign Technology Division, for scientific recommendations regarding Blue Book; Hynek noted in his reply dated October 7, 1968 that Blue Book suffered from numerous procedural problems and lack of resources, which rendered the efforts made "totally inadequate". Hynek also noted that one wag had bestowed upon Blue Book the epithet of "Society for the Explanation of the Uninvestigated"[8]
Hynek was the founder and head of the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS). Founded in 1973 (originally in Evanston, Illinois but now based in Chicago), CUFOS is an organization stressing scientific analysis of UFO cases. CUFOS's extensive archives include valuable files from civilian research groups such as NICAP, one of the most popular and credible UFO research groups of the 1950s and 1960s.
In November 1978, a statement on UFOs was presented by Dr. Allen Hynek, in the name of himself, of Dr. Jacques Vallée, and of Dr. Claude Poher. This speech was prepared and approved by the three authors, before the United Nations General Assembly.[9] The objective was to initiate a centralized United Nations UFO authority.
In 1973, at the MUFON annual symposium, held in Akron, Ohio, Hynek began to express his doubts regarding the extraterrestrial (formerly "interplanetary" or "intergalactic") hypothesis. His main point led him to the title of his speech: "The Embarrassment of the Riches." He was aware that the quantity of UFO sightings was much higher than the Project Blue Book statistics. Just this puzzled him. "A few good sightings a year, over the world, would bolster the extraterrestrial hypothesis—but many thousands every year? From remote regions of space? And to what purpose? To scare us by stopping cars, and disturbing animals, and puzzling us with their seemingly pointless antics?"[10]
In 1975, in a paper presented to the Joint Symposium of the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics in Los Angeles, he wrote, "If you object, I ask you to explain – quantitatively, not qualitatively – the reported phenomena of materialization and dematerialization, of shape changes, of the noiseless hovering in the Earth's gravitational field, accelerations that – for an appreciable mass – require energy sources far beyond present capabilities – even theoretical capabilities, the well-known and often reported E-M (sc. electro-magnetic interference) effect, the psychic effects on percipients, including purported telepathic communications."[11]
In 1977, at the First International UFO Congress in Chicago, Hynek presented his thoughts in his speech "What I really believe about UFOs." "I do believe," he said, "that the UFO phenomenon as a whole is real, but I do not mean necessarily that it's just one thing. We must ask whether the diversity of observed UFOs . . . all spring from the same basic source, as do weather phenomena, which all originate in the atmosphere", or whether they differ "as a rain shower differs from a meteor, which in turn differs from a cosmic-ray shower." We must not ask, Hynek said, what hypothesis can explain the most facts, but we must ask, which hypothesis can explain the most puzzling facts.[12]
"There is sufficient evidence to defend both the ETI and the EDI hypothesis," Hynek continued. As evidence for the ETI (extraterrestrial intelligence) he mentioned, as examples, the radar cases as good evidence of something solid, and the physical-trace cases. Then he turned to defending the EDI (extradimensional intelligence) hypothesis. Besides the aspect of materialization and dematerialization he cited the "poltergeist" phenomenon experienced by some people after a close encounter; the photographs of UFOs, some times on only one frame, not seen by the witnesses; the changing form right before the witnesses' eyes; the puzzling question of telepathic communication; or that in close encounters of the third kind the creatures seem to be at home in earth's gravity and atmosphere; the sudden stillness in the presence of the craft; levitation of cars or persons; the development by some of psychic abilities after an encounter. "Do we have two aspects of one phenomenon or two different sets of phenomena?" Hynek asked.[13]
Finally he introduced a third hypothesis. "I hold it entirely possible," he said, "that a technology exists, which encompasses both the physical and the psychic, the material and the mental. There are stars that are millions of years older than the sun. There may be a civilization that is millions of years more advanced than man's. We have gone from Kitty Hawk to the moon in some seventy years, but it's possible that a million-year-old civilization may know something that we don't ... I hypothesize an 'M&M' technology encompassing the mental and material realms. The psychic realms, so mysterious to us today, may be an ordinary part of an advanced technology."[14]
In Hynek and Vallee's 1975 book The Edge of Reality, Hynek publishes a stereoscopic photograph of a UFO he took during a flight. According to the book the object stayed in sight long enough for Hynek to unpack his camera from his luggage and take two exposures.[15][16] UFO researcher Robert Sheaffer writes in his book Psychic Vibrations that Hynek seemed to forget that he had photographed and published these two photographs as he told a reporter for the Toronto Globe and Mail that he had never seen a UFO.[17] The article quotes Hynek saying that in all the years he has been looking upward "He has never seen 'what I would so dearly love to see. Oh, the subject has been so ridiculed that I would never report a UFO even if I did see one - not without a witness'".[18]
Hynek developed in his first book the close encounter scale to better catalogue various UFO reports. Dr. Hynek was also the consultant to Columbia Pictures and Steven Spielberg on the popular 1977 UFO movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and made a brief, non-speaking appearance in the film[19] (after the aliens disembark from the 'mother ship' at the end of the film, he can be seen, bearded and with pipe in mouth, stepping forward to view the spectacle).
The following reports were created by Dr. J. Allen Hynek. These documents offer a rare glimpse into the life of Dr. J. Allen Hynek—away from his study into the UFO phenomenon.
On April 27, 1986, Hynek died [20] of a malignant brain tumor at Memorial Hospital in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was 75 years old, and was survived by his wife Mimi and son Joel.

LEAGUE JUDGEMENT Candidate: Vayne Date: 6 May, 21 CLE Observation She doesn't need to bend to examine the road. The witch's trail is obvious, even by moonlight. That last silver bolt had hit home, if the blood is any indication. The prey is slowed. The trail leads her past a public house. Though a few of the patrons cast wary glances as she walks past, the ruckus will cover up any unwanted noise. She hopes none of them have the sense to call the constabulary before she's done. The glow from the end of the alley reveals her prey. The witch is attempting to use hemomancy to close her wounds. From the looks of things, more than one of the silver bolts has landed. However, now the witch sees her and the magic changes. Droplets of blood fly towards her like a cloud of razors, but she effortlessly tumbles over a barrel and out of the way. Her crossbow is up before her feet even touch the ground and she fires. The bolt flies true, impaling the witch's casting hand and halting her vile spells. Haley Manner, you have fallen to the practice of the black arts. You have willingly harmed others. You are condemned. She does not wait for the witch to respond with lies. She draws the great crossbow over her shoulder and unleashes its massive projectile. It strikes the witch with such force that it carries her back and into the wall of the public house, impaling her there, limp and silent at last. She can already hear the hue and cry. Though she is an agent of justice many would say vengeance Vayne's activities are not sanctioned by Demacian law. Nimbly, she leaps up, grabs hold of a ledge, and flips herself on top of the building. Leaping from roof-top to roof-top, she fades away into the darkness. Such is the way of the Night Hunter. Reflection The summoners stared at her uneasily. After all, few potential champions have ever broken into one of the inner sanctums of the Institute of War, startled powerful summoners, and plainly demanded to be allowed into the League of Legends. Fortunately, Vayne's reputation had preceded her, so there was no need for violence. The room in which she sat now was sparse nothing more than a fireplace with a few chairs. Vayne reflexively adjusted the crossbow on her arm. When do we begin? she asked. The summoner who seemed to be in charge of this process turned away from the fire. He was a gracefully aging man, approaching middle-age, with a quiet authority borne of true power. In moments. First, I want to ask you how you managed to get past our defenses to gain access to the deeper chambers of the Institute. The same way I know that you are Senior Summoner Ezekiel Montrose and that the woman with you is Summoner Lessa Carin. The same way I know that you take rose-hip tea every day, the route you walk to your home, and that you sleep on a very uncomfortable bed. I am the Night Hunter. Now get on with it. I have already submitted to your authority. After a moment of stunned silence, Senior Summoner Montrose finally spoke. Since you are not one for pleasantries... In an instant, it was as if the world had exploded. Then, as quickly as it came apart, it was back together again. However, it was many years ago, when Vayne was just a girl. She was back in the cupboard again. Come out, little girl. Come out, or I will do to mummy what I have already done to daddy. The crone suspended her mother above the floor of the moonlit kitchen, the poor woman's limbs painfully and helplessly outstretched. Blood slowly dripped from her, dribbling from a hundred impossibly small cuts. The young Shauna Vayne was too terrified to move. There she was, trapped, frozen, and forced to watch through a crack in the cupboard door as the twisted witch brutally tortured the woman she loved more than any other. I'll give you one last chance to come out, lassie. To punctuate, the crone made some mystical gesture that caused her mother to cry out in agony. Even if she'd wanted to, Shauna couldn't even cry out. The vise-like grip of fear prevented that. The crone cackled, the horrible sound echoing off the walls. You are an awful child, girl, to make your mummy die this way. With each more horrifying shriek of pain and suffering that issued from her mother, something warm and bright in Vayne died. However, in its grave were planted the first seeds of a searing, merciless, and never-ending hatred... Disorientation, a blur of reality, and she was back in the Institute of War. Senior Summoner Montrose did his best to keep his composure, while all the color had drained from Summoner Carin's face. He broke the silence first. I'm sorry for your loss. Vayne took several measured steps towards him. Stay out of my head, summoner, she said in a surprisingly even tone. You won't like what you find in the shadows. We must, replied Summoner Carin, whose tiny frame carried a core of inner strength. It is the way of the Judgment. How does it feel exposing your mind? However, Senior Summoner Montrose raised his hand to stop her. I think the answer to that is obvious, Lessa. Shauna Vayne, let me ask you one simple question. Why do want to fight in the League of Legends. To know my enemies. Though your magics keep them alive through defeat, I will learn more hunting those champions who are abominations than I would hunting their inferiors in the world. Senior Summoner Montrose considered her for a moment. You will be a part of the League of Legends, Night Hunter. However, you must never violate our trust again. Agreed? Vayne only nodded in assent. With that, she turned and walked from the room. Summoner Carin, confused for a moment, followed shortly behind her. A voice spoke from the shadows. I do not trust her. Her mind is not an open book. She will only show us what she wants us to see. Emerging, as if one with the darkness around him, stepped Senior Summoner Sander Grieve. The intense-looking man was clad entirely in black, the Noxian cloak-clasp the only clue as to his heritage. Yes, replied Montrose. But I would rather have her here where we can watch her. Grieve sighed. This will end badly. Mark my words. Montrose gave Grieve a piercing stare. End badly for whom?

good tale
Awesome content as usual! Keep up the good work! It's almost like a Van Hellsing / Witch Hunter Robin / Underworld type feel. For those who want more of this content, please check this post and show your support for League Lore!

Sebastien Ogier dominated the afternoon stages of Rally Sweden to extend his lead over Sebastien Loeb to 32.2 seconds.
The Volkswagen driver won all three stages in the event's second loop to increase his advantage over his former Citroen team-mate, who just edged into second place ahead of Ogier's team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala.
Loeb, a nine-time world champion competing in his final season, had trailed Latvala by a hundredth of a second, but the Finn suffered an intercom failure, allowing the Frenchman through by 1.5 seconds on the next stage.
Earlier, Ogier won two of the three morning stages to establish a 10.1-second lead over Loeb, and he was satisfied with his day's performance in his Polo R WRC.
Ogier told wrc.com: "Incredible. It's a really good feeling. This morning wasn't perfect but it was enough with a good road position. This afternoon was perfect."
In contrast, Loeb, who slid into a snow bank during one stage, admitted it had not been his tidiest performance.
He said: "I made a few mistakes, and I have a bit too much understeer so it's difficult to keep the car on the racing line. It was really tricky."
Qatar M-Sport Ford driver Mads Ostberg finished the day in fourth, 42.8 seconds off the pace, with team-mate Evgeny Novikov recording the next best time, 29 seconds behind the Norwegian and more than a minute behind leader Ogier.
Citroen's Dani Sordo lost five minutes after he came off during SS6, meaning Loeb is now the only Citroen driver who can score major points after Mikko Hirvonen also lost time due to technical problems.

Zach Deputy on His Live Performances: "I'm Still Just Winging It"
Categories: Interviews
Flickr: iaintright |
Yes, all four microphones have a purpose. |
Zach Deputy, a festival, jam band, and music-that-makes-you-feel-good scene institution, will bring his one-man act to Funky Buddha Lounge tonight. If you've never been to one of his concerts, be warned: It's impossible not to have a dopey grin on your face while simultaneously stamping your feet throughout the entirety of the set. His vibe is completely and totally infectious.
Deputy's stage presence is unparalleled, and unrivaled at that, because he is the only musician up there. Armed with a guitar, he snuggles himself into a cocoon of synths, microphones, loop machines, and pedals, emitting a sound so powerful one can hardly believe it's coming from just one man. Through each song, multi-layered guitar picking and beat-boxing steadily loops and gains momentum and pounds beneath soaring, soulful vocals in a funkadelic delight that has brought him legions of fans over the years.
I caught up with the funkadelic delight at home in Georgia on Tuesday, and he took a break from playing Hungry Hungry Hippos with his daughter to talk shop.
New Times: How was your Thanksgiving?
Zach Deputy: It was great, because I got to go see my mama. I was actually at home for the first time in four years, so I got to go eat with my mom and see my brother and his family.
What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
I like it all. But this year, my mom asked me what I wanted and I said, "I'd really like you to make fried chicken instead of turkey." And that's what she did. There's nothing better than my mother's fried chicken... I gotta get it when I can get it, ya know?
There's also a bunch of standards at my house: Macaroni n' cheese, mashed potatoes, candied yams, banana pudding, and broccoli casserole. But we did something crazy this year and had fried chicken. It was cool, because I had thanksgiving without the comatose feeling from the turkey. I kept on waiting to pass out, but it didn't happen. Turkey is all right and all, but I knew that the fried chicken would be... on point.
So there wasn't any chicken pot pie at Thanksgiving? Is it your mom's recipe that you sing about [in the popular song, "Chicken Pot Pie"]?
Well, I originally wrote that song more out of frustration because the only thing to eat at my mom's house was chicken pot pie. It was not because I liked it. This particular chicken pot pie which inspired that song, had been in the freezer for a questionable amount of years. We never actually knew how long it had been there. That chicken pot pie watched me grow up.
Last time I was at my parents' place, I used 12-year-old caramel to bake brownies.
Doesn't caramel get better with age?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS) is the world's largest known fossil water aquifer system. It is located underground in the Eastern end of the Sahara Desert and spans the political boundaries of four countries in north-eastern Africa.[1] NSAS covers a land area spanning just over two million km2, including north-western Sudan, north-eastern Chad, south-eastern Libya, and most of Egypt. Containing an estimated 150,000 km3 of groundwater,[2] the significance of the NSAS as a potential water resource for future development programs in these countries is extraordinary. Recently the Great Man-made River Project (GMMR) in Libya began extracting substantial amounts of water from this aquifer, removing an estimated 2.37 km3 per year. This system is primarily used to supply water in the Kufra oasis.
Since 2001, the Nubian Sandstone aquifer situated between the Toshka and Abu Simbel areas of Egypt underwent intensive drilling and development as part of a land reclamation project. Drilling information was used to conduct a variety of studies regarding the hydrogeological setting of the area's aquifer. Results indicated that lithological characteristics and tectonic settings are having a substantial effect on groundwater flow patterns and the area's overall aquifer potentiality, which is considered relatively low when compared to neighboring areas in eastern Oweinat or Dakhla.
The aquifer is largely composed of hard ferruginous sandstone with great shale and clay intercalation, having a thickness that ranges between 140-230 meters. Groundwater type varies from fresh to slightly brackish (salinity ranges from 240-1300 ppm). The ion dominance ordering shows that sodium cation is most commonly predominating over calcium and magnesium - whereas chloride is predominant over sulfate and bicarbonate. The groundwater is of meteoric origin[3] (the term meteoric water refers to water that originated as precipitation; most groundwater is meteoric in origin). High concentrations of sodium, chloride, and sulfates reflect the leaching and dissolution processes of gypsiferous shales and clay, in addition to a lengthy duration of water residence.[4]
Since 2006, the International Atomic Energy Agency has been working in cooperation with the four NSAS countries to help increase understanding of the aquifer's complexities through the IAEA-UNDP-GEF Nubian Project. Project partners include the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)/Global Environment Facility (GEF), IAEA, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and government representatives from the NSAS countries. The project's long-term goal is establishing rational and equitable management of the NSAS as a productive way of advancing socio-economic development in the region and protecting biodiversity and land resources.[5]

Calling Sifl and Olly

Subscribe to the Nerdist Channel and never miss a call.
That was one of the funniest uses of the perpetual gag ever. Kudos.
Every time I was about to get annoyed with the song, another gem of a line pulled me back in. Incredibly well crafted.
I guess I know what will be keeping me from falling asleep tonight.
And when the aliens put you in a trance,
You simply put your booty in a break dance,
They never really had any chance,
O o M a y G a a h!
As the dead bodies pile up in space,
You laz them and cotinue the fast chase,
Without remorse or saying grace,
O Me Ga!ABORT, CANCEL, ERASE! Damn it! it's stuck in the brain. Nooo…
Love how the bouncing ball ever so slowly lost the will to live, before disappearing off the screen for a bit and then hanging itself. OMEGA!

For my cousin's bridal shower, a bunch of us girls decided to go to an oriental spa rather than something more traditional. It was a wonderful experience! The spa focuses on the mind, body, and spirit rather than just the body.
Every element was chosen for its spiritual and healing properties. There were no phones ringing, no employees talking amongst themselves. Very Zen. I don't think I have ever been so relaxed. And talk about a great way to ease any pre-wedding nerves.
The hot stone massage was amazing. We drank tea, took hot spring baths, and got soothing skin treatments. If you have ever wanted to go to a day spa, do it! Our experience with the oriental spa was wonderful.

Oil Price Confusion Expected to Continue
TheStreet) --
Oil prices may be getting pummeled Friday on weak economic data in Europe and China -- but are expected to pop again come Monday.
Brent crude for December delivery was tumbling $1.83 to $100.66 a barrel and November light sweet crude oil futures were slumping $1.50 to $80.64 in the face of a Eurozone debt drama that just won't let up, bad data out of China and Germany -- and on top of that -- swelling Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries oil supplies.
In Europe, policymakers were getting closer to passing a proposal to expand the eurozone bailout fund largely to help finance Greece's bailout.
The last two countries to approve the plan were Germany and Estonia on Thursday. However, a more comprehensive plan of possibly levering up the fund to inject capital into the European financial system is still in debate.
This, as the leading Asian and European economies both came out with sets of bad economic data. China's manufacturing sector shrunk a bit again in September, according to an HSBC index, though this reading was as expected. Meanwhile, German retail sales fell 2.9% in August, the largest decline in four months, according to the Federal Statistics Office. U.S. economic data was broadly in line with expectations, but could not assuage the bearish tone that had already set into the markets. The chaotic news cycle is likely to swing back toward the positive next week. "We are stuck in some sort of parallel universe that plays out as two variations of Groundhog Day," said Matt Smith, an analyst at Summit Energy, a subsidiary of Schneider Electric. "Today," Smith said, "is the Groundhog Day where all things risky sell off because of concerns about the global economy falling back into a recession and on fears of a Greek default ... So just like Monday and Wednesday, crude is selling off with falling equities and a strengthening dollar." "But do not panic, as the alternate version of Groundhog Day will return on Monday, and markets will rally like a mad thing." Analysts at Cameron Hanover refer to this market madness as both "confusing and unpleasant." Fundamentally, a lasting price recovery for oil remains challenged given that there's been a rise in production at the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) -- partly due to a slight expansion of oil supply from Libya, which has not been countered with cutbacks from other member countries, accordingly. OPEC member countries boosted their oil production in September to 30.25 million barrels a day, its highest level for nearly three years, according to Commerzbank analysts. "While supply is rising, the signals of demand weakening are increasing," they noted. Tradition Energy's senior market research director Addison Armstrong says there's rumor on the trading floors that ConocoPhillips (COP - Get Report) has became the first U.S. oil major to buy Libyan oil, since the start of the civil war in February this year. The company loaded 381,000 barrels of Sarir and Mesla crude onto the tanker, Hellas Warrior, which is set for delivery to France's Mediterranean port of Fos-Lavera, Armstrong says. ConocoPhillips shares were down 0.5% to $64.02 Friday, while other energy stocks were trading in negative territory. EOG Resources (EOG - Get Report) was tumbling 3.6% to $71.15; Gulfport Energy (GPOR - Get Report) was stumbling 2.6% to $25; Apache (APA - Get Report) was losing 2.3% to $80.94; Anadarko Petroleum (APC - Get Report) was giving up 2.7% to $65.37; Suncor Energy (SU - Get Report) was surrendering 2.1% to $26.13; and BP (BP - Get Report) was falling 1.6% to $36.41. -- Written by Andrea Tse in New York.>To contact the writer of this article, click here: Andrea Tse.

The only NADA slideshow that matters.
In which we discuss art in a normal voice. From this week's trip (giant shows at Elizabeth Dee, Zach Feuer, and Hauser&Wirth) you might think the world is about to implode.
So you're still in New York and reading the blogs. Here are ten fun shows made for summer, from McCarthy's twisted forest, to MonkeyTown, to a survey of New York's untapped Jews.

Mitchell-Innes & Nash smells like hamster shavings, the quality of paintings made out of paint brushes at Paul Kasmin is debatable, and Zach Feuer's Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg ain't for kids.
Here at AFC we like to carry on traditions worth repeating. One such tradition is Art Market Views's annual summation of galleries joining and leaving the fairs. Editor Lindsay Pollock is now Art in America's Editor-in-Chief, so we're picking up this one up in her absence and, as it happens, just in time for the Armory show.

Customer engagement strategy and brand reputation unpicked by Peter Hardingham
Peter hardingham
I've been involved in eCRM, communications planning and data strategy for global brands such as Adobe, Betfair, BMW Group, Fidelity, Mercedes-Benz, and Santander (amongst many others) across agency, data, comms planning and consultancy roles.
I'll demonstrate how to capitalise on customer engagement opportunities you have in your organisation - even if in some cases you don't know they are there.
A 360° customer view is unachievable despite the claims being made around 'Big Data', the ability to track attitudinal and behavioural loyalty or the future represented by neuromarketing.
Whilst customers are (occasionally) exposed to our brands and products at times of our choosing, it is (mostly) by their own choosing. Some of the most important triggerpoints and stimulation of need, desire, and aspiration occur outside our control or knowledge.
For example...seeing a new car on the road will greatly influence discussions and thoughts about what to buy next. The aroma from a glass of wine may stimulate memories of good times, leading to booking a concert ticket to recapture them. And the 2012 London Olympic feelgood factor will have created untold purchase considerations amongst consumer brand communities in the UK and beyond.
So what will make the difference in next generation marketing? The building of customer engagement and brand reputation with one measurable objective - optimised conversion to purchase.
Facebook's optimised CPM tool will now help us all track behaviours earlier in the customer journey and conversion funnel, and in conjunction with google analytics to measure impact on-site finding out what your customers want, and then making it easy for them to trust and buy it from you - sounds easy......
However to achieve this you will need to create relevant new content, offer timely messaging and dialogue with customers across multiple channels and opportunities to engage with the brand, products or services - respect their decisions to remain at a distance or a closeness of their choice but always, always measuring and optimising messaging and conversion.
All of this then links back to benchmarked brand and product KPI's as well as customer satisfaction and tracking studies, creating real-time dashboards.
So how do you do this and integrate it into your marketing strategies & comms planning? That's what this content will be about, so why not send me your hot topics for an unbiased opinion on how to bring it all together?......

Jessica Simpson gave Eric Johnson a $42,000 push present after she gave birth I've spent a lot of time hatin' on Jessica Simpson's fiancé Eric Johnson. To be fair, Eric really doesn't DO that much. He plays golf. He takes Jessica out to eat. He keeps getting her pregnant. He tries to breathe through his mouth when she drops one of her nuclear farts. Rinse and repeat. But I have come around on Eric slightly. Jessica seems very happy with him, he seems like a hands-on father and he does seem to genuinely love Jessica (and her bank account). Perhaps it's possible that Jessica and Eric are perfect complements to each other? Perhaps. I think it helps that Jessica looks at Eric and she genuinely thinks, "Wow, I scored such an amazing guy!" Which might explain why SHE gave HIM a push present after SHE gave birth to their son Ace Knute: [From Star Magazine, print edition] Only Jessica would go all-out on a push present for her baby-daddy when he only got her flowers! I mean, I know many of you hate the idea of "push presents" or maybe you just hate the term "push presents". But it comes from a culturally historical place – it's been very common for centuries for the new father to give his wife (or as they said in the olden days, "baby-mama") something significant to mark the occasion of the birth of a child. There's no real need to give the father something special… you just gave him a baby, you know? You pushed that sucker out after carrying the kid for nine months. You deserve a piece of jewelry. HE does not. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet. Related Male Celebrities:

I don't know how long it's going to take, but I'm planning on working hard." "I definitely look forward to the day that I can look into his eyes and make that commitment that we both really long for.
