A Clean (and Articulate), Well-Lighted Failure
One word: word.
A few weeks after President Obama's victory in the 2008 election, adviser Rahm Emanuel quipped that "[y]ou never want a serious crisis to go to waste . . . [because it] provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before." Emanuel was correct: The situation in which the new Administration found itself constituted an unusual political dynamic that, properly used, would have allowed the Obama Administration both to stimulate the economy and make it more productive over the long haul.
The Administration should have endorsed a stimuluspackage based on a repeal of the corporate income tax and reductions in employment taxes. This policy would have accomplished its stated goals, and the budgetary implications would have been less negative than those of the package ultimately adopted because this alternative plan would have enhanced rather than detracted from economic efficiency. This approach would also have been difficult for Republicans to oppose.
Yet the Administration did not take this approach, presumably because its true goals were not just economic stimulus. Instead, the Administration wanted to reward its constituencies (unions, environmentalists, public education) and increase the size and scope of government. This tactic is consistent with the Administration's policies in general. Across the board, it has taken a big government, redistributionist approach, whether regarding housing, unions, health, the auto industry, trade, anti? trust, or financial regulation. The Administration's view appears to be that government is better than individuals at deciding how taxpayers get to spend their money and that government should engineer large transfers from richer to poorer.
Whether the Administration's stimulus package will be successful is still to be determined. If the extra spending ends up being productive, then the impact of the stimulus might be positive on net. My own prediction, however, is that the programs adopted will generate large distortions and substantial waste, with minor stimulus impact. This is a pity because much better alternatives were available.
Let me quarrel with my better by insisting that if the economy turned around tomorrow (which, lamentably, it won't), it couldn't possibly be due to Obama's stimulus boondoggle—which has been in place for a year and a half, with no discernible effect. Even Obama would agree: If everything up to now has been Bush's fault, how would Obama's policies magically take hold overnight?
No, this is the result of the stimulus bridge we were sold:
On the eve of the midterm elections, a third-quarter GDP report showing a meager 2 percent growth rate is the final nail in the Obama Democrats' political coffin.
The economic nails slowly have been hammered into that coffin all summer and fall. A spate of subpar economic statistics has shown the failure of the fiscal-stimulus spending program. And myriad tax and regulatory threats produced by new government policies have created a massive uncertainty overhang and a dismal jobs outlook. American businesses have gone on an investment-capital and hiring strike.
For a White House that bet the ranch on a massive government pump-priming plan, it has all turned out to be a complete failure. The scheduled economic recovery has simply not occurred.
It should have been recovery summer, according to the president and his followers. But it is now officially a recovery slump. The entire command-and-control economic philosophy of the Obama Democrats has proven to be a big bust. And they'll pay a very big price for this.
In fact, the last two GDP reports have averaged less than 2 percent growth, something that qualifies as a growth recession, not a recovery.
Even worse, the GDP deflator – the broadest inflation measure – came in at 2.2 percent in the third quarter, following a 2 percent reading in the second quarter. That means inflation is rising faster than real output. Stagflation.
Aggie has been calling it stagflation for months now. The rest of us are just figuring it out.
When Rush Limbaugh notoriously announced "I hope he fails!" it was taken by some, disingenuously, to mean that he hoped the country failed. Rather it was obvious to anyone with a brain stem that Rush meant he hoped Obama failed in his ambitions to remake the country in a socialist image. But Rush might also have meant that he hoped that, if we had to have a President Obama, he hoped he failed and failed spectacularly in his Stalinist-Leninist efforts. Because that's happened, too.
Speaking of Rush and failed stimulus efforts, it's been at least a couple of weeks since I posted this:
My proposal is a genuine compromise.
Fifty-three percent of American voters voted for Barack Obama; 46% voted for John McCain, and 1% voted for wackos. Give that 1% to President Obama. Let's say the vote was 54% to 46%. As a way to bring the country together and at the same time determine the most effective way to deal with recessions, under the Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan of 2009: 54% of the $900 billion — $486 billion — will be spent on infrastructure and pork as defined by Mr. Obama and the Democrats; 46% — $414 billion — will be directed toward tax cuts, as determined by me.
Then we compare. We see which stimulus actually works. This is bipartisanship!
Look at your pay stubs, liberals, and admit you don't feel a pang that Obama didn't take Rush up on his offer. I bet you even secretly wish (in those dark places of your heart you don't admit even to your psychiatrist, your publicist, whatever) that Rush were president.

March 6, 2015
A Dothan woman takes a trip to jail after police say she helped run a large scale drug operation in The Circle City.
The investigation began about a month and a half ago, when police received a tip about the sale of drugs from one Dothan home.
When officers arrived at the home on Duke Street, they confiscated close to two pounds of marijuana, and several painkillers used to treat diabetics.
All of the drugs were packaged and ready to be sold.
Sgt. Governor Jackson of the Dothan Police Department said, "Approximately maybe 900 dollars as far as the street value of the marijuana, and as for the pain pills, I have no idea at this time."
But the drugs didn't originate here in Dothan. Investigators say the drugs came from Atlanta and were being distributed from several homes here in Dothan.
And they say the operation was led by a man they have been investigating for quite some time.
"He's just a runner for the guys out of Atlanta and he's using more than just this house. He's got several other houses where he is dropping off packages to be sold for him," said Sgt. Jackson.
nvestigators say this suspect is still on the run.
But they did arrest his accomplice, Ashley Amanda Young, at the home on Duke Street.
She's charged her with possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance
As for the head of this drug ring, police have one message for him. "To this young man who continues to drop off packages in our residences here in the City of Dothan; We know who you are and we're coming to get you, so look out guy because we're coming," said Sgt. Jackson.
Police have not released the name of their other main suspect, but they say they know where he is and that it is only a matter of time before they catch him.
And if you know of any kind of drug activity taking place in your neighborhood, police ask that you contact them at 334-615-3000.
They say one of the biggest weapons against illegal drug activity, is the telephone and they urge you to use it to report suspicious activity.

I've had this problem persist when playing as Vijyanagar and Joseon, whenever I get the "Silent Spring" event, and select the first option, I recieve an heir, and the next day he/she dies immediately.
I also have had my Joseon emperor inaugurated upon starting the Extra Natives scenario, and played until 1497 with no leader death event. Unfourtunately I don't have the screenshot of that exact year since the game crashed and I forgot to save. But I do have the Joseon screenshot here with the leader still being alive at 1487. Both leaders in both games have started with heirs, but they die within 20 years or so, with no new heir being born through usual means. As of such, I am unable to form Royal Marriages.
Is this a bug of some sort? I almost feel like I need to start a Pretender revolt in my own country in order to receive a new leader.
I have the 4.0b game under Steam, and the 4.1 version of Whole World. Thanks in advance to any who reply.

Millwall captain Danny Shittu says he is "deeply saddened" by the evidence of racism from home fans at the Den.
Several incidents of vile chanting from fans at the home of the Lions were recorded and shown as part of a Special Report by Sky Sports News on Monday.
The broadcast focused largely on incidents at the London club, where Leeds striker El-Hadji Diouf was subjected to 56 separate incidents of racist abuse by five white men.
"I am deeply saddened by the documentary on Sky Sports showing racism by the minority at matches including at Millwall FC," said Shittu in a statement on the Millwall official website.
"As the current Millwall captain, racism is something I do not stand for or condone. I am currently in talks with the club about any further measures we can take in dealing with and eradicating racism at matches.
"I do not want the events shown yesterday to tarnish the hard work done by the club thus far and their efforts in tackling this issue.
"Every player at all levels has the right to represent their club without being subjected to homophobic or racial taunts. I will do all I can to help eradicate racism at my club and in football."

I'm not sure how many of you read World of Interiors, but the May issue has a great but brief article on the bathrooms of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor at their Bois de Boulogne home. Photos of both bathrooms as well as the rooms' contents were included in the Sotheby's auction catalogue from 1997. But beyond what was included in the catalogue, I knew little about these rooms.
In the article, writer Hugo Vickers (who has written a book on the famous couple) touches briefly on the Duke's bathroom, which was elegant but rather plain (Vickers writes that the Duke, who preferred showers to baths, had a "Psycho" like shower in his bathroom). But fortunately for us, Vickers focuses on the Duchess' charming bathroom.
I learned that Dmitri Bouchene, a Russian painter and set designer, painted the ceiling of the bathroom to give it a tent-like effect. If you look closely in one of the photos, you will see an oculus painted in the ceiling which reveals a cloudy blue sky beyond the tent. Bouchene also painted garlands of flowers on the walls, and even painted scenes on the walls of the loo (see the photo below of the figure who is blind-folded, giving the Duchess her privacy!). I was always curious about the gilt-framed small paintings that were hung around the bathtub. According to Vickers, these paintings are actually New Year's cards that Bouchene sent to the Windsors every year. Lucky for Vickers that he successfully bid on many of these cards at the 1997 auction.
Of course, we're all familiar with the Cecil Beaton painting of the Duchess, hung on the mirrored wall above the bathtub. And those purple towels? They're by Porthault and are monogrammed with Wallis' cypher "WW" (Wallis Windsor) as well as the royal ducal coronet. I remember seeing the towels, or at least the bath mat, in the auction catalogue; I wonder who the lucky bidder was?
But I think that the most amusing anecdote from the article was Vickers' reminiscence about his shock upon seeing that Wallis' toilet had a plastic seat! And Wallis evidently was not alone- Vickers claims that Diana Vreeland had one too. Quelle horreur!

The Merry Wife of Windsor
20 comments:
I have a huge collection of WOI goign back 20 years and I reread them constantly -it's the best magazine on the market! I look forward to the new arrival every month (got this one yesterday and have already read it!).I have always been a little obsessed with the windsors and have always thought how ODD it was for Wallis to hang a portrait of herself in her own bathroom. And I'm sorry, but buying someone's used towels is a little creepy to me...no matter who they belonged to and how fabulous the towels may be!
ReplyDeleteActually I am crazy about the Duke's bath ... very bright, very cheerful, masculine without overdoing the testosterone, all that red and white and heavily veined marble ... the Duchess's bath, on the other hand, just makes me think of circuses ... though I do love her diamond-pattern marble floor with the big bands ... or is it linoleum?
ReplyDelete- Balsamfir5:54 PM
I'm not too into the Simpson/Windsor thing which still seems pretty icky to me, but these are lovely photos of a bathroom. I like that there is just a standard tub, in a beautiful room instead of some insanely complicated built in thing(although I'm sure they're lovely to bathe in).
ReplyDelete Wonderful post. (First time commenter here). I am so enjoying your blog, and particularly this post as I am a huge fan of this style of artwork on walls. I am presently stripping the wallpaper from my bed room and planning a mural of some description too. (I used to designs sets, so I should be up for it).
ReplyDeleteThe entire house and contents was bought by Mohammed Al Fayed, (of Dodi/Diana fame), and it was rumoured, (by him doubtless) that he intended it as a wedding gift to them. But as we know from numerous and expensive inquiries in UK and France, Al Fayed has a somewhat fantastic imagination. I'm not sure whether he still owns it, or whether I read recently that he has sold it on.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Al Fayed purchased specifically as a wedding gift, but he was rumoured, (after their deaths), to have considered giving it to them, had they married. I believe he sold it, and all the contents in 1998, the year after their deaths in Paris. I have a small piece in my blog today about further items of the duke's that will go on sale this month.

Emily Nohr, The Omaha World-Herald
April 21, 2013 -- A business plan for an app that would simplify the identification process during artificial insemination for cows won the third annual Maverick Business Plan Competition held at the University of Nebraska at Omaha on Wednesday, April 17.
Rachel Ostrander, a Peter Kiewit Institute student studying IT innovation, took home the $3,000 grand prize for her app called Moo Maker. Her business plan for the Moo Maker outlined the need to digitize the process of matching the identification of the cow and the semen used during the artificial breeding process.
A native of western Nebraska who grew up on a ranch, Ostrander said the app would help farmers and ranchers replace the paper system they currently use. She already has a working prototype for the Moo Maker and has plans to test it out this summer.
Other winners:
-- Taking second place and $2,000 was a three-person team that presented a business plan for STEM-DIRECT, an online portal that offers lessons in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. The team included Manas Bharadwaj, an MBA student; Felix Burgstaller, an international graduate student taking management information systems classes; and Rob LaMagna-Reiter, an MBA student.
-- Taking third place and $1,000 was economics student Luis López who presented a business plan for CardioSys, a communication technologies company for the healthcare industry.
The contest was judged by representatives from SAC Federal Credit Union. The credit union, plus UNOs College of Business Administration and the UNO Center for Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Franchising, sponsored the event.

You reach Tyndrum, where Robert the Bruce was defeated in 1306 by the MacDougalls. On to Bridge of Orchy, a collection white buildings and hotel grouped around the isolated Bridge, the start of your walk across the surreal remote landscape of Rannoch Moor to the head of atmospheric Glen Coe,
where the memory of the notorious MacDonald Clan clan massacre of 1692 still lie close to the surface beneath your feet. From under the towering peaks of Meall A'Bhuiridh and Buachaille Etive Mor, the trail scales the 'Devil's Staircase', which offers breathtaking mountain views, before making the descent to sea level at the head of Loch Leven
The final stage of the West Highland Way presents magnificent views down to Loch Leven as it moves across the Lairigmor Pass to Glen Nevis and finally on to Fort William
The West Highland Way is Scotland's most popular long distance trails.
You may well be accompanied by numbers of fellow 'West Highlanders' sharing your journey For May and June particularly, booking is advised well in advance ~ as much as a year ahead. The limited accommodation available along the trail is quickly taken at this time of year.

Way out of date Brew. The C of E have now sold the land to Tesco. They're tearing that old building in Ely down. It's been up there for years anyway. Building a Tesco Express on that site. Apparently, there's a decent sized chunk of land in the middle of 1p5wich that's owned by the council....Portaloo something or other I'm told. Doesn't get used much (especially on a Satday afternoon). We're buying that + building the new Carra super stadium there. A sort of massive yeller + green cathedral in the middle of 1p5wich. They'll love that. It's just what they've needed for years. Later boooooooooy !

My grandmother decorated her house with her own cross stitch art. She kept the cross stitch fabric framed inside the hoops and just bought new ones for each piece.
She stitched a lot of country scenes and slogans that remind me of home. Whenever I see cross stitch embroidery in catalogs now, I think of her house and I feel nostalgic.

Keep Apologizing
To a person capable of lying, just saying 'I'm sorry' may seem like enough. They don't realize how serious a lie is, how it undermines the entire foundation of trust that runs through a relationship. Lying to your partner is the most serious way in which to hurt and destroy a relationship, and it can easily harm your partner so much that he/she cannot trust someone for years afterwards. So saying 'I'm sorry' just once may not be enough. You already lied - you already showed your inability to be believed - so why should your partner believe you now? You have to show that you are COMMITTED to a change. Keep apologizing. Keep showing your commitment to a new way of thinking. Keep showing in every way possible that you are on a new course, that you understand fully the damage you caused, that you are making a 100% commitment to being fully open and honest going forward. This is not something that just 'fixes itself' in a day or two. It will require long, diligent effort on your part - but the relationship is well worth that effort.

More reviews by Fairypants1986
I have the UD Deluxe and Urban Ammo palettes and boy were they a good investment- a colour for every mood and occasion, the all blend well and last forvever as you only need a little as they are vibrant and have great colour pay-off.
Such gorgeous packaging too- like works of art on my dresser!
More reviews by chantalmostoway
Just bought the Urban Decay book of shadows 2, I had heard so much about the volume 1 , and wanted to see what the hype was all about. I love this palette, really gorgeous colors, very pigmented. Only 1-2 shadows are glittery and cause fallout all over my face, but even still the colors are vibrant, with good color payoff. My only beef is the steep price, but the colors are so awesome and if you can afford, then splurge. I usually use mac e/s and kept hearing about the UD e/s, but was stuck on mac , but then i caved based on many reviews and figured what the heck. This is my first purchase from UD and luv it. For those who haven't tried and are on the fence...go for it....you will not be sorry...guaranteed! I'm only sorry I took so long to decide. Oh it comes with 24/7 UD pencils, great opportunity for those of you who have been wanting to try them, trust me they are excellent, great staying power too
I love this product.It really stands out and it looks beautiful. I have applied it just by itself with an eyeliner and it looks GREAT !!
Very good series for every occasion, you can wear wet or dry for a variety of effects. Some colors don't work as well as others, but in general I love this series.
I love UD shadows, great deep pigmented colours that last and last. My faves are Shattered and Vert.
Some of the very sparkly ones are too much for me, so I don't buy those ones - they end up all over my face! I don't buy the palettes either, because they usually have lots of the highly glittery shades included.
LOVE UD's packaging!
The only product I've bought from UD that I disliked was the Big Fatty Mascara which clumped and smuged like crazy
I have over 50 UD eyeshadows. While I don't love them all, one thing is pretty uniform throughout the line: pigmentation. They are all deeply pigmented with little filler. Many do contain some form of glitter (large or small or both!). This is a turnoff for some, but it is easy to see which are glittery and which are not both in person and when buying online so they can be avoided. Besides the glittery shades there are duochrome, pearl, shimmers and mattes to choose from. The mattes are fairly good colors though one or two are somewhat chalky. Other than those, the mattes are velvety in feel and application. Packaging is ok, a little kitschy but decent enough. The individual cases have a satisfying snap to them when closed. The palette packaging varies, but is usually ok and still kitschy. I recommend to others to try a palette before plunking down the almost $20 for a single shade. That way they can get a general feel for the product. Pricing is fairly high, but I have only ever hit pan on one or two of my favorite colors out of all that I own. That said, I consider buying the singles sort of like an investment because I'll have it forever (theoretically). I've only given four lippies due to the few shadows that seem to deviate from the UD standard - heavily pigmented, smooth application, staying power, packaging etc. Overall they are a great range of eyeshadows from super bright and fun to more sedate and neutral. There's literally something for everyone in the color selection.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i have this in half baked and i LOVE it. Very shimmery gold, perfect for night time. So pretty with black liquid eyeliner! i get compliments everytime i wear it! goes on smooth and stays put, very pigmented like all urban decay shadows. Lots of color, not just all shimmer.
This review is for the Skull palette. The 6 colours are Cherry, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Grifter, Vert, Oil Slick, Shattered, Blunt, Chopper, and Twice Baked and boy are you in for a treat! The colours are highly pigmented and they rock. The shimmer/glitter is just right for my naturally tanned skin. It all depends on how you apply it and of course, how much. Are you ready for this? I am 51 and I wear shimmery, glittery colours even in the day time and let me tell you the compliments I get are unending. Believe me, strangers stop me at malls and restaurants and ask me what shadow/lipgloss/perfume I am wearing. I love these colours! I bought the Book of Shadows during the holidays and thought I would get this one to travel with. Perfect choice!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have four UD shadows: Half Baked, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Shotgun and Roach.
Honestly these are just okay. The sparkles ( in the sparkly ones) are usually way too much, they go on smooth enough but I haven't seen any of them last any longer than some of my drugstore shadows. Sure they stay on better with the primer potion, but so does every other shadow out there.
I just don't think they're really worth the price. The colors are pretty, but nothing special.
I won't be purchasing any more of these since I don't love them and there's better products out there for less money.

Boats docked at the marina
Sightseers whale watching (Canadian Tourism Commission photo)
Sidney waters boast Vancouver Island's highest concentration of Orca (killer whale) sightings.
Calm Gulf Islands waters help. Sidney proves a safe and convenient base for whale watching. Bring cameras, binoculars and a sense of adventure.
The southern resident community of Orcas – three pods in Sidney's waters – spends most of its year in the Salish Sea and Puget Sound. But that's not all: Sightings of humpback, grey and minke whales are common, too.
Some lucky watchers sight transient whales, the carnivorous whales that travel in pods of up to five. Also known as "silent predators," they like nothing better than a lunch of seal.
Read More
Each of the three resident pods contains 20 to 60 whales. "Spyhopping" is when whales remain vertical in the sea, maybe just taking a gander at enthralled humans. The whale watchers' grail is the breach, when the mammals jump clear out of the water and make a spectacular splash as they come down. Photographers with zoom lenses go for the supreme moment.
Whale-watching outfits operate from the Port Sidney Marina. Emerald Sea Adventures employs a 10m/32.8ft custom-built Zodiac equipped with quiet, environmentally friendly motors and a hydrophone to listen in on "whale music." It provides float suits to keep customers warm and cozy throughout the 4-hour adventure. On the aft deck, seating is arranged with photographers in mind and there's lots of freedom to move around.
Both custom DVD and photography group charters are easily arranged.
SeaQuest Adventures offers whale watching expeditions in its vessel K-Ko (pronounced Kay-Ko), named after the boat in the movie Free Willy. It has full washrooms and walk-around seating important for photographers. The company guarantees whales. No whales sighted and a refund awaits. How's that for confidence?
In addition to sightings of the great whales, expeditions meander around scores of small offshore islands to view bays, beaches, Dall's porpoises, seals, sea lions, bird colonies and bald eagles' nests. Exhilaration builds layer by layer to an experiencing of wonder.
For more information on local whale watching, drop into the Sidney Visitor Centre at 10382 Pat Bay Highway, just two minutes from the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal.

THE PLACE I LOVE LyricsArtist: The JamAlbum: All Mod Cons it's too far for the eye to see Still it's me at least, and you can't come there No one is allowed at all Only animals that love, will always, only, ever could be And it's always at the back of my mind. The place I love is overgrown now With beautiful moss and colourful flowers And goldfish that swim in a pool, there's a small brick wall With neon lighting controlled by lightning I'm making a stand against the world There's those who would hurt us if they heard. The place I love is no where near here, Not within a mile of those trendy do's, Where dogsbodies pick you up, and graciously give you a lift, With cherished thoughts and bitterness.

So they would amazingly ask: "What action did we do to deserve this?" They will be told: "Because your son memorized the Quran. [Al-Haakim]
The best of you is he who learnt the Holy Quran and taught it to others. (Bukhari)
That chest which does not have any Quran in it is like an abandoned house. (Tirmizi, Darmi)

The CUL4-DDB1-ROC1 ubiquitin E3 ligase regulates cell-cycle progression, replication and DNA damage response. However, the substrate-specific adaptors of this ligase remain uncharacterized. Here, we show that CUL4-DDB1 complexes interact with multiple WD40-repeat proteins (WDRs) including TLE1-3, WDR5, L2DTL (also known as CDT2) and the Polycomb-group protein EED (also known as ESC). WDR5 and EED are core components of histone methylation complexes that are essential for histone H3 methylation and epigenetic control at K4 or K9 and K27, respectively, whereas L2DTL regulates CDT1 proteolysis after DNA damage through CUL4-DDB1 (ref. 8). We found that CUL4A-DDB1 interacts with H3 methylated mononucleosomes and peptides. Inactivation of either CUL4 or DDB1 impairs these histone modifications. However, loss of WDR5 specifically affects histone H3 methylation at K4 but not CDT1 degradation, whereas inactivation of L2DTL prevents CDT1 degradation but not histone methylation. Our studies suggest that CUL4-DDB1 ligases use WDR proteins as molecular adaptors for substrate recognition, and modulate multiple biological processes through ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Foodies travel for miles to get a forkful of this tiny pasticceria's cassata (ricotta cake with marzipan) or homemade almond-milk ice cream. Calorie counters should stay away from this shop, located in the Baroque town of Noto, which was rebuilt after Siracusa's 1693 earthquake. It's hard to leave without trying everything, including the sesame crunch and candied fruit.
Closed Mondays, except in August.

Via OrlandoMagic.com:
In celebration of the Magic's 25th anniversary season and to honor the rich history of Orlando Magic basketball, the team will don the original jersey, the signature black, pinstriped jersey with throwback team logos worn through the 1989-94 seasons starting with the January 4 matchup with the Miami Heat. The team also featured the jerseys through the 1998 season as an alternate. The original Magic jersey design was worn by Magic greats including Shaquille O'Neal, Penny Hardaway, Dennis Scott, Nick Anderson, Horace Grant, Darrell Armstrong and Scott Skiles.
There's a time for objective analysis, and there's a time for things that are too awesome for stoicism. The Orlando Magic wearing their "black, pinstriped jersey[s]" is of the latter category. They're among the greatest jerseys ever, and, given the general reaction on Twitter being an emphatic embrace of the news, they're fondly remembered.
The reason, I'm willing to wager, stretches back to the talent and level of play of those Shaq and Penny years. For a fair share of basketball fans around the country, Orlando became a national team. Those teams were the very definition of entertaining. Don't forget about Dennis Scott, Nick Anderson and Horace Grant in these same styled jerseys — with Grant accentuating them with matching Rec Specs. Scott Skiles donned them, too.
Many fans have first loves, but Orlando provided an outlet in lean years and an entertaining alternative on off nights. That effect seems even more pronounced in regions far removed from an NBA city, where geographical affiliation becomes nebulous and rooting for a team either hundreds or thousands of miles away seems an equal choice.*
*Alternate explanation: people like the jerseys because they look really good. And in an age of endless glasses without lenses, surely someone on the Magic can rock some non-prescription Rec Specs, right? I'm looking at you, Tobias Harris.
And, fair weather or bandwagon as it might be, I think the Magic will gain quite a few fans as they once again don these gorgeous jerseys. Even if it's just for the few nights that they are so adorned, it's a chance to show the entertaining side of the 2013-14 Orlando squad. Nikola Vucevic is a mountain of a man who devours souls and rebounds alike. Victor Oladipo seems more adept at initiating offense and creating his own looks with every game. Arron Afflalo continues his bid to make the All-Star Game. Glen Davis does Glen Davis things, and all that entails.
In an age of expanding League Pass access (and other not-so-legitimate means), the era of the national team is alive and well. The Magic will draw curious viewers with their selection of attire. Keeping them curious is the new task at hand.

The Environmental Science, Policy, and Management Department's Conservation and Resource Studies (CRS) major is an interdisciplinary program designed for students interested in environmental issues and areas of interaction among natural resources, population, energy, technology, societal institutions, and cultural values. The majors orientation is toward flexibility and an individualized educational approach to understanding the structure and dynamic functions of complex environmental systems within our society and biosphere.
What will I study?
Students will be guided in self-selecting their eight upper division elective courses from departments all across campus. Because CRS students draw on the course offerings of the entire campus, they have the flexibility to incorporate any combination of courses in the social sciences, biological sciences, physical sciences, or humanities to address complex environmental problems.
Sample topics include environmental justice and education, sustainable development of world populations, energy and environmental policy, conservation and culture, and ecological restoration and policy, to name a few. Students may also draw upon appropriate community resources in the development of individual programs of study.
Despite the flexibility and breadth, all CRS curricula share a demonstrable commitment to gaining a truly interdisciplinary education. It differs from other ESPM majors in its individualized program that prepares students for a wide range of careers with an environmental leaning.
How much coursework is required?
Lower division requirements include courses in environmental sciences, physical science, biology, calculus or statistics, and social sciences. Students are encouraged to take additional lower division courses to gain a basic understanding and background in the subject area for their upper division Area of Interest.
All CRS students are required to complete a series of three core classes, ESPM 90, ESPM 100 and ESPM 194. In ESPM 90 students will work with faculty and mentors to self design and select their eight upper division area of interest electives; this course should be taken no earlier than second semester sophomore year for freshman admits. Transfer students will take this in their first semester on campus. In ESPM 194, students will culminate their individualized CRS studies into a seminar presented to their peers; this course is taken in the students last semester.
What can I do with this major?
CRS graduates are qualified for careers in
- environmental consulting, education, health, or law
- community, urban, or regional planning
- other related areas of environmentalism in public agencies, non-profit conservation organizations, and private companies.
Graduates also matriculate into masters and doctoral programs in geography, law, and public health.

Thanks AlbertF,
Ha ha ha yes indeed those are creative ways, however at least half of them require special skills such as programming and such.
I do apply at least 4 techniques describe in that articles such as creating web templates (glype proxy templates to be exact), participating in few forums (my biggest traffic contributors), article submission, and social bookmarks.
Social networking has not given me any result at all, but I guess it depends on the niche you are in....
Overall, I like the article, thanks.
I find submitting to feed directories to be effective becuse you only have to do it once and it updates automatically.
The best way to get backlinks is to ask for a spot on the blogroll
So blogrolls are good? I don't have that much experience with paid blogs or blogs like that. Only "xanga" type blogs. On some of my previous blogs there I was able to get thousands of views per week.
