Learn to make your own cleaners
I want to thank both Ace Hardware and WSU Extension Waste Wise Coordinator Janet Hall for contributing to the upcoming fun at the Oak Harbor Public Market on Thursday, July 28, from 4 to 7 p.m.
Ace Hardware is donating some of the essential ingredients to make "Clean and Simple" buckets of nontoxic cleaners for your home. If you'd like to make your own window cleaner, scouring powder and other cleaners, visit the city table at the market and bring a $5 donation for the WSU Ext. programs. You and your family will breathe easier. We sincerely appreciate their support.

Entries tagged with: Dan the Automator
Killer Mike and El-P's new Run the Jewels album RTJ2 comes out next week (10/28) via Mass Appeal, but apparently it leaked ahead of time. El-P and Killer Mike found about it, but instead of being bad sports, they each tweeted links to a free download of the album themselves. You can grab it HERE.
The duo are also working with Zola Jesus, Just Blaze, Baauer, Portishead's Geoff Barrow, the Alchemist, Boots, Dan the Automator and more to make a cat-themed remix album called Meow the Jewels. If you're a cat, you can audition to be part of it.
Deltron 3030 in Chicago in 2013 (more by James Richards IV)
Alternative rap supergroup Deltron 3030 made their long-awaited return in 2013 with a new album and a tour with a full orchestra, and it looks like they're not done yet. The trio of Del the Funky Homosapien, Dan the Automator and Kid Koala have another North American tour scheduled for this summer which includes the previously discussed FREE Celebrate Brooklyn show at Prospect Park (7/19) in NYC and a NJ show a day later at The Stone Pony (7/20). Tickets for the NJ show are on sale now.
All dates are listed, with a video of a 2013 performance, below...
Damon Albarn @ NPR SXSW (more by Tim Griffin)
Damon Albarn played the Fader Fort at SXSW last night (3/14), where he brought out some special guests to help him perform a pair of Gorillaz tunes. Del the Funky Homosapien and Dan the Automator joined Albarn for "Clint Eastwood"--it was the first time the original collaborators teamed up to perform it--and Snoop Dogg also came out halfway through the song to spit a verse of "Drop It Like It's Hot." Albarn also invited De La Soul out to do "Feel Good Inc." Check out some video footage of "Clint Eastwood" below...

Deltron 3030 @ House of Blues
"It's not there like it used to be. I'm not mad at that. You've got lots of new movements happening, like the trap movement, and I enjoy that quite a bit. So musically, there's a lot of great stuff. So far as rhyming and stuff goes, there are a lot of kids out there who are really dope, and that encourages me to get doper still. Like, the whole Odd Future camp, and what they're doing over there, that's special, and then in New York you've got Joey Bada$$ and Pro Era. These are kids, but they're done. They've done their homework. And they are taking things that level further. I don't think hip-hop has to be what it used to be." [Del The Funky Homosapien]Deltron 3030, the 'alternative hip hop supergroup' of Dan the Automator, Del the Funky Homosapien and Kid Koala, reappeared with a new album and live dates in 2013, orchestra included. Those dates included NYC shows at Brooklyn Bowl (Oct. 9) and Highline Ballroom (Oct. 14), as well as a Chicago show at House of Blues (Oct 19). The latter is pictured in this post.
On 10/15 Deltron 30/30 appeared on Letterman joined by a 16-piece orchestra and 4-piece band onstage, including special guest, producer Just Blaze on keyboards. Check out the video from that, and more pictures and tour dates (Fun Fun Fun Fest included), below...
Alternative hip hop greats Deltron 3030 (aka Del The Funky Homosapien, Dan The Automator, and Kid Koala) are releasing their long-awaited second album, Event II, on October 1, and after announcing appearances at the California Rock the Bells stops, they've finally begun announcing a full tour. For the tour, Del, Dan, and Kid Koala are being joined by a full orchestra, and Itch is opening many of the dates.
The tour hits NYC on October 9 at Brooklyn Bowl, and then a few days later they'll play the larger Highline Ballroom on October 14. Tickets for the Brooklyn Bowl show and the Highline Ballroom show go on sale Friday (8/23) at noon. The Highline show is currently on AmEx presale.
Last week (8/13), Deltron 3030 released the City Rising From the Ashes EP, which precedes the album and includes three of its tracks. You can stream that in full, along with the list of all currently announced tour dates, and a video of Deltron 3030 rehearsing with their orchestra, below...

Deltron 3030 (aka Dan the Automator, Del the Funky Homosapien, and Kid Koala) have been talking about their long-awaited second album, Event II, for some time now, and after revealing two of its singles, "Pay the Price" and "City Rising from the Ashes", they've finally officially announced the full album details. It will be out on October 1 via Bulk Recordings and features a ton of serious collaborators including Blur/Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn, Faith No More/Tomahawk/etc frontman Mike Patton, Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack De La Rocha, Emily Wells, The Lonely Island, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Aaron Bruno (of AWOLNATION), Black Rob, David Cross, Amber Tamblyn, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Momofuku chef David Chang(!?), Casual, and Jamie Cullum. That's the album artwork above, and the tracklist is below.
The album will be preceded by the City Rising from the Ashes EP, due out on August 13, which features both previously released singles and a third album track, "The Agony."
Deltron 3030 also just released an album trailer, which includes the album's opening track, "Stardate," which is essentially a spoken word track from Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Check that out, along with the other two singles and tracklist, below...
DOWNLOAD: Deltron 3030 - "City Rising From the Ashes" (MP3)
Earlier this year, alternative hip hop group Deltron 3030 (aka Dan the Automator, Del the Funky Homosapien, and Kid Koala) revealed "Pay the Price," the first single off of Event II, the long-awaited followup to their 2000 debut LP, and now they're back with a second single, "City Rising From the Ashes." According to the group's soundcloud page, "an official album release date is upon us."
Deltron 3030's only known upcoming live date is a free Converse show in San Francisco on June 24 with Juicy J, Blackalicious, Angel Haze, and 100s.

Deltron 3030 (the collaborative hip hop project of Dan the Automator, Del the Funky Homosapien, and Kid Koala), who released their excellent self titled LP in 2000 and have been delaying a followup for years, have just revealed their first official single from the new album, "Pay The Price," on their facebook page. The album is called Event II and a release date is still TBA. You can listen to the song below.
In related news, Dan the Automator also has a new album coming out with his Pillowfight project with Emily Wells. The album comes out next week (1/22), but you can stream it in its entirety ahead of its release, HERE.

Mostly-hip hop producer Dan the Automator has some pretty great work under his belt with Dr. Octagon, Deltron 3030, Gorillaz Handsome Boy Modeling School, and others, and now he's announced the debut album for his new collaborative project, Pillowfight, for which he's joined forces with singer/instrumentalist Emily Wells, who's dipped her feet in the hip hop world a few times herself, having collaborated with Buck 65 and Count Bass D. Dan and Emily also reached out to Kid Koala (who worked with Dan on Deltron 3030) and Lateef the Truthspeaker (Latyrx) and recorded their self titled album which will be out digitally and on CD January 22 and on vinyl on February 26 via Bulk Recordings.
The duo previously posted one of the album's tracks, "Get Your Shit Together," and today, Consequence of Sound premiered another, "Used to Think." You can stream that one below.

DOWNLOAD: Emily Wells - Mama Remixed (ZIP)
Emily Wells at Bowery Ballroom, April 2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Emily Wells released Mama Remixed, which takes her entire album, Mama, from earlier this year and gives it a new spin. Says Emily:
I couldn't be more excited to announce the release of "Mama Remixed". In collaboration with 13 artists, each song from the record has been remixed and a few of them twice! With contributions from Lemonade, Jeremiah Jae, Ed Rodriguez of Deerhoof, Kid Koala, Dan the Automator, Live Footage, Timmy Straw, The Blow... (just to name a few), I'm honored to be in such good company.You can download Mama Remixed for free above or stream it below. Emily is also out on the road touring with Dark Dark Dark. That tour hits NYC soon: October 12 at Knitting Factory (tix) and October 13 at Le Poisson Rouge (tix). All tour dates are listed below.I hope you'll enjoy these and spread them around. We wanted to make something special to explore these songs further and to thank you for being so good to me and supporting my work.

Emily Wells @ Bowery Ballroom
Love note to New York:Emily Wells headlined Bowery Ballroom last week (4/9) as part of an ongoing tour in support of a new record. Live Footage accompany her on many dates and played first on the NYC bill. Dan the Automator, who collaborates with Emily on a new project called PILLOWFIGHT, made a special appearance just for the NYC show and DJ'd right before Emily's set. Emily played violin with Live Footage and joined Dan to perform a PILLOWFIGHT song. A drummer and members of Live Footage joined Emily on stage during her set. Here are some pics. More below...
Dear NY,
Last night was incredible. You have made me very happy. It was an honor to play for you and the love you gave me will sit with me forever. Je t'adore.

Emily Wells @ Hotel Vegan
It may only be an opening DJ set, but it will still be interesting to see what happens tonight, 4/9, at Bowery Ballroom when Dan the Automator shares a bill with Emily Wells who he's also collaborating with for a new project called Pillowfight which performed live at SXSW. You can watch a video clip below.
Emily also played solo at SXSW, including a set at our own Hotel Vegan. Some pictures from that are in this post too.
Tonight's Bowery show is probably Emily's biggest-ever headlining show in NYC (possibly anywhere), so go out and support. Tickets are still available, and Live Footage, who are on tour with Emily, play too.
Updated tour dates, SXSW pics, Pillowfight video, and Emily's brand new IFC-premiered video for "Passenger", below...
Dan The Automator fans should get goosebumps while watching this preview for his new Pillowfight project with singer Emily Wells. The upcoming album, due later this year, also features scratches by Kid Koala (who's worked with Dan past project such at Lovage and Deltron 3030) and well as visuals by David Choe.Both videos, and two SXSW dates are listed, below.Wells has been previewing some Pillowfight songs during some recent shows with Kid Koala (see video below). I'm digging the mix of soulful vocals with Dan's catchy beats. It's somewhat reminiscent of his Handsome Boy Modelling School track with Chan Marshall of Cat Power.
Kid Koala will be part of the group at SXSW, as will Emily Wells (who plays a BrooklynVegan day party later in the week, on Saturday to be exact). Emily headlines Bowery Ballroom in April as part of a recently announced tour in support of a new album.
Not long after SXSW, and after some dates in Canada and France, Kid Koala will come to NYC for the previously mentioned headphone concerts, except what was two shows, is now THREE. An April 4th early show was added and is on sale now (tickets for the late show and the day-before show are also still on sale).
All dates and those videos below...

What becomes of him? I mean in Crystal he went back to Celadon City, but in HGSS he doesn't, he just seems to disappear (I don't know if he reappears or not). So I was wondering what you guys think happen to him. Would he go looking for another Suicune, we know there are more than one, would he move on to another goal, if so what do you think that is, or would he just live his life as some drunk roaming the streets with nothing in life.
What do you guys think?

Mathematical refocusing of images in electronic holography
Applied Optics, Vol. 48, Issue 19, pp. 3565-3569 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (919 KB)
This paper presents an illustration of mathematical refocusing of images obtained by the HoloFringe300K electronic holography program. The purpose is to demonstrate that this form of electronic holography is equivalent to image-plane, phase-stepped digital holography. The mathematical refocusing method used here differs from those in common use and may have some advantages.

New wave of talent ready to take stage
Updated: April 15, 2009, 12:19 PM ET
Scott Burnside | ESPN.com
Later, they might simply remember this as the spring the kids took over the playoff garden.
Or maybe they'll remember it as the spring the bloom returned to places like Chicago or Boston or St. Louis.
Or maybe there's simply no way to separate the two; maybe they are inexorably linked.
Whatever your vantage point as these NHL playoffs begin, this stands as a seminal moment for the NHL in its fourth playoff season since the lockout, a nod to a new wave of ...

Clinton's Conundra
By: BillOReilly.com Staff
Thursday, April 16, 2015
Hillary's hat is in the ring. But what kind of hat?
She wants you to believe it's a Chicago Cubs cap, the kind they wear in the bleachers at Wrigley. Or maybe a cowboy hat, something that displays her common touch.
But more likely, it's a Christine A. Moore big brim variety, one of those $500 chapeaus favored by upscale ladies at the Kentucky Derby.
However mightily Mrs. Clinton tries to seem like a woman of the people, she just can't seem to pull it off. Whether making a "spontaneous" visit to a Chipotle restaurant, or talking with "everyday folks" in Iowa, Mrs. Clinton comes across as an elite and privileged woman of means. Of course, that could be because she is an elite and privileged woman of means.
Charles Krauthammer has pithily defined her overriding personality trait as "glaring inauthenticity."
But that is just one of the problems she faces as this presidential season begins. More substantively, what should the former Secretary of State say about her foreign policy accomplishments? Does she admit the world is in chaos and blame it on President Obama?
No, because she can't afford to alienate a man whose support she sorely needs.
Should she claim that she and the president helped make the world a safer place, that America is respected? That would be a good strategy if the only voters are hand-picked by Jesse Watters during spring break in Florida.
The truth is, this administration's foreign policy accomplishments are few and very far between. One liberal guest on The Factor, when asked to identify an Obama/Clinton success, pointed to Myanmar. Myanmar, aka Burma! As Peggy Lee pondered, "Is that all there is?"
How about pocketbook issues and President Obama's big government nostrums? After more than six years of his presidency, income for working Americans is down by about $1,700 per person. Does Hillary Clinton promise more of the same?
Again, she has to explain how she'll be different from President Obama without offending the man who vanquished her in 2008.
We can certainly expect to hear a few things over and over. How President Obama dug us out from "the greatest recession since the Great Depression." And how Hillary Clinton yearns to be our "champion." Whatever that means, it already seems to be a running theme of her nascent campaign.
So these are just a few of the dilemmas faced by Hillary Clinton. And one more - how does she endorse campaign finance reform while raking in hundreds of millions of dollars from those dastardly "fat cats?"
Right now Hillary Clinton seems ready to cruise to the Democratic nomination. That is distressing to many on the party's left wing, who despise her for endorsing the invasion of Iraq. And for her enduring courtship of those demons on Wall Street. Self-proclaimed progressives would be far more comfortable with Elizabeth Warren or the avowed socialist Bernie Sanders. But the former seems unwilling to run, the latter unlikely to garner much non-loon support.
And what should we expect from the media? They will probably be fairly tough on Hillary Clinton for a few months. The press resents her evasiveness, her refusal to submit to tough questioning, her sense of entitlement.
But do not be fooled. If and when Mrs. Clinton wins the nomination, the media will turn on a dime. Whatever her faults, the media and the left - pardon the redundancy - will rush to support her, while heaping scorn on her GOP rival. In their eyes, she is far preferable to any of those nasty Republicans.
To be fair, Hillary Clinton had some genuine accomplishments during her time in the Senate, and she deserves great credit for running, knowing all the slings and arrows that will be coming her way.
But it's apparent that the next president is going to inherit an incredible mess, both at home and abroad. Is Hillary Clinton the right woman for the job? 40% of Americans, mostly conservatives, say "no way." 40% or so, liberals and women among them, say "absolutely."
Next year's election, like most, will be decided by those Americans in the middle. We should all hope that voters put gender aside and simply pick the best man - or woman - for the job. Our future depends on it.
Perhaps more than ever.

Greece's foreign ministry said Britain had failed to keep it informed of developments in the case.
It added that British behaviour had been far removed from the "sensitivity" displayed by Athens when Britons were arrested 17 months ago for spying and eventually acquitted.
"We are truly annoyed by this case," said the ministry's spokesman, Panos Beglitis. "Sensitivity is not selective. The British authorities in the case of the 12 plane spotters moved heaven and earth to help them. We demand the same for Greek citizens being held on British soil.
"British authorities failed to inform us [of the student's arrest] even though the British ambassador met yesterday with the deputy foreign minister," he said. "Instead, we learned through the BBC."
Tassos Giannitsis, the foreign minister, lodged a formal complaint with the Foreign Office yesterday, and is expecting to be briefed by the foreign secretary, Jack Straw.
Charalambous Dousemetzis, 25, was arrested in a police raid on his home in Newcastle upon Tyne on February 25. This week magistrates remanded him in custody, charged under the Terrorism Act and accused of possessing "articles which could instigate, prepare or commission acts of terrorism".
Dousemetzis has lived in Britain for eight years, and is about to start a doctoral thesis at Northumbria University on international terrorism.
At his student accommodation, police said they found posters associated with the terrorist group November 17 - whose suspected members are on trial in Athens - and books on urban guerrillas in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
The organisation is blamed for 100 bombings and 23 murders including that of the British military attache.
The student's sister, Vassiliki Dousemetzis, said that it was absurd to suggest he was a terrorist. "Like every student doing a thesis he gathered material for research," she told a radio channel.

I have a phobia of spiders. My mother was afraid of spiders, too. I guess that's where I got it from. Funny thing, I wasn't really afraid when it all started. In the movies and on TV you see tarantulas crawling all over people, and they don't hurt them. They even sell them in pet stores!
Anyway, it all started one Summer afternoon when I was cleaning out the garage. I picked up an almost empty dog food bag to throw it out, and noticed something moving in the bottom of it. I tilted the bag towards the light and saw a baby tarantula moving around slowly, and perhaps weakly. Who knows how long it had been trapped in the bag? For some strange reason, considering my arachnophobia, I felt sorry for it. Instead of killing it, or rolling the bag up and throwing it in the trash, I took it out to the front lawn and dumped the spider out onto the grass. I even stayed around to watch for a few minutes, and he started to crawl around a little bit. I hoped he would live and went back to the garage.
A couple of hours later, job finished, I wandered back out to see if I could find the little tarantula. He was easy to find, and quite dead, all curled up like spiders do when they die. Considering all of the spiders I have fearfully or hatefully killed in my lifetime, I haven't the foggiest notion today why I should have wanted that one to live, but I did, and for some reason it annoyed me that he had died. I kicked angrily at the dead body - kicked it out in to the street and left it there. I thought that was the end of it at the time, but today I'm not so sure.
Several weeks later I was collecting roach motels - I didn't use spray or powders because of our little dog Mitzi and the canary. I'll never forget the time Shadow ate mouse poison and almost died. Well, anyway, I was collecting the sticky traps and putting out new ones, and the last one was unusually heavy. I looked inside it curiously, then dropped it and screamed. A moment later I felt silly because the thing was dead, but then I do have this phobia. It was a small tarantula, just a little bigger than the one I'd found in the dog food bag. It startled me in more ways than one; I'd never before seen two so close together, and I'd never seen one in the house at all before. I saved it and showed it to Matt when he got home, but he just laughed and said he bet it scared me. He knows how I am about spiders.
Only a few days after that incident, I found the dead mouse. You know, we always get a few mice when the weather starts to turn cold. Usually I trap them in glue traps and use alcohol to free them and turn them loose in the park. Even Matt thinks I'm crazy, but I just don't like to kill things - except spiders, of course. Well, this dead mouse was weird. It was dried up, almost mummified, as if it had been dead for weeks or longer, but the traps had only been out for a week! It bothered me enough that I saved it to show to Matt. It puzzled him too, but he didn't seem to think it was important, so I threw it away. At the time I didn't make the connection, but maybe it wouldn't have made any difference anyway.
Mitzi was a Miniature Schnauzer, the second one I'd had. People lump them in with Yorkies and poodles and such, but really they're born hunters and killers. In Germany they still have ratting trials for them, where they put the dog in a pit with a number of rats and the dog who kills the most rats in the alloted time wins. Mitzi would have done well at it, I thought. She chased mice and birds and anything small that moved. She even chased moths and flies and sometimes caught one. Anyway, every once in a while a mouse would get inside the walls of the old house and drive her crazy. She could hear it, and maybe smell it, but she couldn't get to it. She would follow it around, barking like crazy and digging at the walls.
The night after I found the mummified mouse, Mitzi went into her mouse-in-the-wall routine, but Matt and I couldn't hear anything, and this creature seemed to be moving much slower than the mice usually did. You know, I actually suggested to Matt that it might be a tarantula, but he just laughed and said tarantulas don't live in houses like some spiders do, and that it was just my phobia acting up. I shrugged and let it go outwardly, but inwardly I was thinking about the dead one I'd found in the roach motel.
Well, what could he have done to change anything, even if he had believed me then? Later, after it got much worse, I did every thing I possibly could and nothing helped, so why should I agonize now or try to cast blame? It probably wouldn't have made any difference anyway.
Matt was at home when I found the third one, and it was a good thing for me that he was. I screamed and screamed and he had to hold me for a long time before I calmed down. How could a big spider like that get into the house, let alone into the toilet? It had drowned, of course, but I hadn't known that when I first saw it. It was bigger than the other two, maybe even an adult. I'd read that the tarantulas native to Oklahoma are quite small as tarantulas go, but it looked huge to me at the time.
The next morning I called a pest control company for the first time. He didn't exactly laugh at me, but he very patiently and condescendingly explained to me that tarantulas don't live in houses. Temporary thing during the late Fall, ma'am, you'll stop seeing them as soon as the weather turns a bit colder. That's what he told me. I wasn't satisfied - the one in the toilet had scared me too badly - but what could I say to a guy like that? He was convinced he knew better, and I couldn't have changed his mind.
There was another slow and quiet mouse in the walls that day, and I finally took Mitzi for a long walk in the park to get her away from it. When we returned it was gone, or at least Mitzi didn't find it again.
A week passed without incident, and then I got another bad scare. This one was stuck to the roach motel under the sink, but it was so big it didn't even fit inside it. I nearly touched it when I reached in to get the stainless steel cleaner, and it took Matt a very long time to calm me down. "Under the sink! Under the SINK!" I blubbered over and over. (You'd have thought "under the sink" was some sacred temple it had desecrated, Matt joked later.) "What if it had still been alive? It could have BITTEN me!!"
Matt reminded me at length that tarantulas aren't all that venomous, not like black widows or brown recluses; it just hurts if they bite you because they have bigger fangs.
"What a comforting thought!" I shouted back angrily. "Never mind the damn venom! I'd have dropped dead on the spot of a heart attack!"
The next morning I called a different pest control company and told them I had a spider problem. Didn't have to specify what kind, now did I? Matt's mother kept Mitzi and the canary for a few days, and they sprayed the whole house with the strongest stuff they're allowed to use.
"Kill the biggest spider you'll ever see!" joked the man when I questioned him about the potency. He surely had no idea, but it reassured me just the same.
The day after I picked up Mitzi and the canary, we had our first hard freeze for the winter; it got down below 25 degrees three nights in a row. Between that and the spraying, I thought surely the spider business was over and even managed to stop inspecting the toilet before I would sit on it.
Then I returned home from running errands for Matt's mother one afternoon and found Mitzi with a prize. No, it wasn't a spider, but another mummified mouse. Obviously she hadn't killed it but had found it somewhere, and she seemed to know there was something wrong about it. She wouldn't play with it and hadn't chewed on it or bitten into it at all; she just laid it at my feet as though it were something she thought I should see.
I saved it for Matt, of course, and made a big fuss about it when he got home. He was of the opinion that the powerful pesticides had killed it, but I still felt uneasy. How would pesticide cause such emaciation? The mouse appeared to be almost completely dried out, just a shell of skin and fur over bones. Well, there was nothing else I could say about it; his mind was made up. I resolved to stay on my guard and keep quiet until I had more evidence.
Every so often I want to rearrange the furniture, a procedure which Matt hated and always complained about, but eventually he gave in. We were in the process of doing it that Sunday afternoon, with much grumbling from Matt, when we made a horrifying discovery. Under the couch and recliner there were three more tarantula bodies! Matt assured me that the fact they were dead proved that the pesticide had killed them all and that I had nothing more to fear, but I thought I detected a touch of doubt.
Then Matt was the one who got a scare, and for a while I thought he might become convinced that something was going on, but by the next morning he was over it. He doesn't have the phobia, you see. Matt had run himself a bath and then gotten involved in a TV show and left the water unattended. When he finally went back to warm up the water and get in the tub, there was a drowned tarantula floating in his bathwater. For a little while it even shook him up, since it must have been in the bathroom when he ran the water.

I argued with him until late that night that we ought to get more professional help, or even move out of the house, but he was having none of it. Even after getting a scare himself, he insisted that I was unreasonably obsessed because of my phobia.
I was beginning to have some strange thoughts, not the least of which was the recurring fear that something terrible would happen the first time I saw one of them while it was still alive. The fact that I was only seeing dead ones had worried me for some time; I fancied that it was all part of some terrible purpose on the part of the spiders. But then everyone knows that spiders don't have any sort of intelligence - how could they have a purpose?
Mitzi began to be bothered almost daily by the slow, quiet mice in the walls that I suspected weren't mice at all, and I began to take her and myself out of the house as much as possible during the day. We found no more dead tarantulas, but somehow instead of feeling relieved I was only frightened the more.
One Saturday afternoon Matt was making himself a sandwich when the phone rang, and when he returned from talking to his mother the sandwich meat was gone. Matt blamed it on Mitzi, but I was quite sure that Mitzi had been in the living room with me the whole time. I didn't dare suggest to Matt that a spider had taken his lunchmeat, but I was privately convinced that that was the case.
That night Mitzi couldn't sleep, and wouldn't let us sleep. She stayed in the bedroom with us, but kept prowling the walls and whining. Matt finally exiled her to the living room, saying that he had to get some sleep. About a half hour later, she began to bark, and then whine and howl. Matt said she just wanted back in the bedroom and would stop after a bit if we ignored her. I would have gone to her anyway, but Matt held me back. He never loved Mitzi like I did; I got her when she was only five weeks old. When she started to scream, though, we both jumped out of bed and ran for the living room.
Have you ever heard a dog scream? It's unmistakable, and quite awful. When we got to Mitzi, she was cowering in a corner of the living room, still whimpering, but there was no sign of what had caused her to scream like that. Matt turned on all the lights and even got out the flashlight to look for what had so terrified her, but he found nothing. I examined Mitzi in the meantime but also found nothing. Of course she was grown out shaggy for winter and it would have been difficult for me to find anything under all that hair.
Eventually Matt went back to bed and I went to make myself a cup of chamomile tea. Twenty minutes and a cup of tea later, I walked back into the living room on my way to bed when I saw Mitzi. Oh, my poor baby! I hope I never see a dog suffer like that again as long as I live, and I guess now I never will.
We threw on our clothes and rushed her to the animal emergency clinic, but we were too late. Then Matt had to take me to the hospital for a sedative shot. I kept screaming about spiders even after the shot, and was so insistent about not returning to the house that Matt finally relented and took me to a motel for the rest of the night.
I don't think Matt ever believed it, even after the necropsy report on Mitzi said she'd died of an allergic reaction to a bite they found on her leg that was probably some type of insect or spider, but I knew the spiders had killed her. He did agree to have the house fumigated even though it meant spending several days at his mother's, but maybe that was just to pacify me.
I argued, cried, and threw fits, but in the end I was forced to return to the house. We really had nowhere else to go, and Matt was convinced that the fumigation must have killed any spiders that might have been in the house. Besides, he pointed out, if it was a spider it probably wasn't a tarantula. After all, tarantulas don't live in houses, and they are solitary spiders who don't live in groups.
With Mitzi gone, I stayed out of the house as much as possible, doing volunteer work and visiting anyone who would put up with me. Matt wanted me to get another dog, but I refused. No matter what anyone said, I knew the damn spiders weren't gone, and if I got another dog they'd just kill it, too. I was beginning to wonder if they were going to get me, one way or another.
I had spent many long hours thinking about it all, and I had arrived at the admittedly somewhat bizarre conclusion that another tarantula had witnessed my treatment of that very first baby tarantula, the one that had been trapped in the dog food bag, and misinterpreted it. A witness to that scene, I reasoned, would naturally assume that I had intentionally killed the little one and then even abused the dead body. The problem was that I had no way to communicate with the spiders, no way to explain the truth about that afternoon. Oh, if I had only rolled up the dog food bag and just thrown it in the trash! But it was by then much too late for that.
Matt was their next victim. Of course the death certificate didn't say "killed by tarantulas." That would have been a real news item, wouldn't it? No, it said that he died of a heart attack. No one except me was surprised, considering his age, weight, and many bad habits. The detective listened to me patiently and even examined the strange little tracks in the spilled paint on Matt's desk for me, but that was before the autopsy findings came back. Once they had the heart attack finding, they said that Matt had spilled the paint himself and made the so-called tracks with his brush. Heart attack victims sometimes have convulsions as they die, they explained.
I knew better, but how could I prove it? I knew that the damn spiders had quietly surrounded Matt while he was immersed in his painting, and then literally scared him to death. You wouldn't have to have a phobia to be frightened in a situation like that, would you?
After the funeral, I put the house up for sale and moved all the way across town into a small apartment. I tried to put it all behind me and start a new life. I might have even gotten another dog, I think, except that the apartment building didn't allow pets. Now I am glad I didn't.
It has been almost seven months since Matt's death, a little over a year since the fateful Summer afternoon when I found a dying baby tarantula in a dog food bag. I have given the spiders more credit for intelligence and purpose than anyone else I'd ever heard of, but even I thought I had escaped any additional vengeance by leaving the house. It would take much more intelligence than any spiders, even collectively, had to find me after I moved across town, wouldn't it?
Now, of course, I know that the damn spiders are much smarter than anyone suspects. Today as I was checking the glue traps I put out for the roaches, I found a dead baby tarantula in one of them. I knew what it meant, knew without even thinking about it. It had taken them a while, but they'd found me. And this time there was only me left for them to get.
Well, I have the two bottles of sleeping pills here that the doctors gave me after Matt died. I had stopped taking them so I now have quite a large supply, surely enough to do the job. I know no one is going to believe me, but I had to try to explain anyway. I'm sure you will all just think I was crazy, but I'm not.
I'm not a coward either, or at least I don't think I am, but I just can't let the damn spiders get me, and I know there is no other way to escape them. Going to sleep and never waking up isn't so bad. God forgive me, but I just can't face the thought of the spiders getting me. I do have this phobia, you know.

text: You can see some unusual things on an early morning ride through of our country's national parks.Take my ride today through Gettysburg National Park and the Eisenhower Historical Site.I saw all the things you would expect to see -- monuments, reenactors, tourists, etc.Of course, the reenactors in front of the wax museum enjoying their McDonald's breakfast would have made for a funny photo.I didn't expect to see a lone cyclists competing in a 3,000-mile race.The Race Across America was rolling through town just as I came to town for a short vacation. My brother-in-law and I passed the rider near the spot from where the Confederates launched Pickett's Charge. (Well, more accurately, it should be referred to as Longstreet's assault, but that's a subject for another blog.)More riders are on the way, evidently, as we spotted a couple of Race Across America support trucks setting up shop on the side of the road.What a weird coincidence. I will have to keep a lookout for my cyclists as we tour the battlefield today.Ah, what fun -- a little Civil War history and a bike race. Can't get better than that, can it?�

Russia granted residency permit to Edward Snowden, making him eligible for becoming a Russian citizen in future.
According to his lawyer, the U.S. whistleblower is now allowed to stay in Russia for three more years. Snowden will now be allowed to travel in and out of Russia.
The declaration of granting residency permit to a U.S. fugitive interestingly coincided with Russia's decision to ban Western food imports. Vladimir Putin's government imposed a "full embargo" on food products coming from EU and the United States. The ban is imposed on other Western countries like Canada as well. The decision is apparently a direct reaction to the earlier Western sanction of Russia after pro-Russian separatists allegedly shot down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, killing 298 people on board.
Russia's decision on Snowden as well as on the ban may well be considered as a diplomatic step to get even with the West. While the relation between Russia and several Western countries has soured even further after the MH17 accident, Russia seems to have made its stand clear that it is no mood to ease the political tension.
Putin continues to act strong like always as he may also have plans to ban airlines from entering the Siberian airspace. The West too seems to take quite a robust stand by trying to corner Russia. If Russia does decide to ban airlines from entering the Siberian region, it may harm airline companies significantly as the cost of travel to Asian countries will considerably increase.
Snowden, in the meantime, may welcome Russia's decision to let him take refuge in the country for a longer period. The 31-year-old whistleblower apparently disclosed several U.S. State secrets which put the Obama government in embarrassing situations. Snowden went to Russia in 2013 after he had exposed classified information on the alleged U.S. snooping, both nationally and internationally. Snowden was initially given visa for one year but now he is more privileged.
It will be interesting to see if Putin "uses" Snowden against the West, especially the U.S. government in order to have an upper hand in the on-going conflict.

Here are some details about my project: | |
Category | Quilting |
Type | Home Decor |
Style | Classic |
What materials did you use? Fabric, top-stitching threads, and couched materials including rattail cord, beads, chains, yarn, etc
What are you most proud of? This was my first project and I went large. I also tried working with some different materials (chain, beads, leather cord). Initial couching of this material presented some puckering and had to pull it out and restitch some of them. But I learned a lot. I also added some small silk flowers because I felt the piece needed a focal point. Not sure they are exactly right, but went for it
Your colors are wonderful, but I especially like your use of variegated thread. You put a lot of effort into this piece and the results are excellent.
Beautiful. I have total 'stitch envy' for the variety your machine does. Mine is strictly utilitarian. Nice work.
OMG! Is there any thread left in NY! This took some time and is very intricate.
Anne, your piece is beautiful, and I love the gentle waves of the stitching and couching. And, btw, I think your silk flowers are perfect in everyway in this piece. They add pop and surprise! Oh, and they are exactly right!


text: BY COUNCILOR KRAUSE: RESOLVED, that Midwest EAP Solutions is awarded a contract to provide employee assistance program services and the proper city officials are hereby authorized to execute the contract with Midwest EAP Solutions, substantially in the form of that on file in the office of the city clerk as Public Document No. ___________, under which that company will provide employee assistance program services to the city for 2006, 2007, and 2008 as follows: 2006:$6.50 per employee, but not to exceed $6,500 for the year; 2007:$7.00 per employee, but not to exceed $7,000 for the year; 2008:$7.50 per employee, but not to exceed $7,500 for the year. All amounts shall be paid from Fund 630, Agency 036, Organization 1650, Object 5441. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the city to execute the contract with Midwest EAP Solutions so that the company may begin to provide employee assistance program services to the city. Midwest EAP Solutions, after bid, was the low vendor. The previous provider is no longer in business. The manager of the city's account under the previous provider now works for Midwest EAP Solutions, so the transition should be relatively seamless. The employee assistance program involves referral assistance with regard to various personal, social, or other human service issues. It has been offered by the city for over 20 years. |

Very interesting looking ads.
Nice to see Y! have their own Ideas!
Examples [yq.search.yahoo.com]
So we should be able to put this on some pages without upsetting G, but then again maybe we can expect a T&C change.
As far as I can see they want you to implement it into your sites which may (will) draw people into their own search system and PPC ads.
In it's initial phase they are not offering any remuneration for this.
Why would anyone want to jeopardise their AdSense earnings just to send clicking customers to Yahoo?
They start their e-mail off by saying that they will be testing "a new platform" and "in the meantime" they are offering this "free" test. The $5000 is based on the best site incorporation of this new tool.
Think I'll just sit on the sidelines for now.
The contest is open to the US only however I didn't read anything that would restrict you from using it (if you so choose) on your foreign sites. You just wouldn't be eligible for the $5000.
This may come back to restrict how this publisher program is implemented.
My EU Over accounts are still Overture not Yahoo. They may be having legal problems implementing this worldwide. Also Yahoo has always been restrictive as to where the Over ads showed up. If you wanted to be in the UK or DE you had to sign up for their local programs.
I mean, I *might* put this on one of my low traffic Beta sites just to see how it might work.
BUT, does Yahoo really think people are going to advertise for them for free? Are they serious? We might win $5000, but chances are that we won't, that we will get nothing and will have worked for free.
I suppose this might interest some people, but I wish Yahoo would only contact me if they actually decide that they are going to pay webmasters for advertising for them.
Or, am I missing something? We don't get paid for this, do we?
I want to be absolutely sure I don't jeopardize my standing with AdSense first though.

Mercedes Helnwein
Mercedes Helnwein (born 1979, Vienna, Austria)[1] is an artist, writer and filmmaker. Her father is Austro-Irish artist Gottfried Helnwein. She and her brothers, Cyril, Ali, and Wolfgang Amadeus, often modeled for their father's work as children.[2] She grew up in Austria, Germany and the United States and lives now in Ireland and Los Angeles.
Fine art[edit]
Mercedes Helnwein's large-scale drawings, most of which are done with black pencil, colored pencils, or pastels, suggest storyboard or graphic novel frames, although their contents refuse to cohere one picture to another. Helnwein does not so much tell stories or even capture moments in her drawings as she triggers possibilities. Her technical style underscores a sense of displacement.[3]
In an interview with the LA Times Helnwein is quoted as saying: "To be powerful, art should be honest, direct and thought-provoking, It should shake you up, take you out of your element. Making people uneasy is one way to do that." [4]
Helnwein's art debuted in 2003, with her first group exhibition hosted in Downtown Los Angeles by art collector and actor Jason Lee.[5] This exhibition was followed by regular self-instigated one-night-shows at spaces throughout L.A., often with photographer Alex Prager with whom she founded Devil's Porchlight Press in 2004.[6] Thereafter, Helnwein began to exhibit in New York, Berlin, Dublin and London.
Mercedes Helnwein contributed art to the Beck album, The Information (2006),[7] and appeared in his music video for "Gamma Ray," filmed by photographer and filmmaker Autumn de Wilde.[8] She has worked with the following galleries: Blackston Gallery (New York), Merry Karnowsky Gallery (Los Angeles), The Shooting Gallery (San Francisco), Pool Gallery, Dittrich & Schlechtriem (Berlin), and Bespoke Gallery (Dublin).
In 2010 Damien Hirst acquired the entire work of Helnwein's "Whistling Past the Graveyard" show in London.[9]
In 2004, her travelogue, "Devil Got Religion," covered the 15-day road trip with Alex Prager and Beth Riesgraf for their "America Motel" installation.[10] In 2006, she signed with the literary agency, Ed Victor Ltd.,[11] based in London. Other representation includes the New York agencies, Fletcher & Company[12] and William Clark Associates.[13] Her debut novel, The Potential Hazards of Hester Day, was released in February 2008 by Simon & Schuster.[14]
In 2008, Mercedes Helnwein included video as a medium in her work. Her brother, Ali Helnwein, composed the scores. They continue collaborating as filmmaker and composer. Her short films, "Faking it," "Whistling Past the Graveyard," and "East of Eden," are reminiscent of the strange and mysterious scenes depicted in her drawings.
In 2011 Mercedes Helnwein directed an art/fashion film for the AW 2011 collection of UK based fashion label Orla Kiely. She worked again with Orla Kiely for their SS 2012 collection film.[15]

Kansas Mega Millions winner chooses anonymity, cash
The only thing anyone may ever know about the record jackpot lottery winner in Kansas is that it's a 6-foot tall shadowy figure made of poster board sporting a smiley face.
That's because the winner's name is:
Someone — lottery officials aren't releasing any information about gender, age or hometown — claimed the $218.6 million Kansas Mega Millions jackpot at 11:45 a.m. Friday.
As Kansas law allows, the mystery winner chose to enjoy the winnings privately, leaving lottery officials to celebrate the auspicious occasion with horns, confetti, balloons, cake and punch in the company of a carboard cut-out.
"They obviously don't need the publicity and they're not used to the publicity," said Dennis Wilson, the Kansas Lottery's executive director. "They were still in awe they had won it. They're like all of us. They think about the possibility of winning, but they never think that's it's going to happen to them."
This much is known. The winner is looking forward to retirement.
The ticket was purchased at Casey's General Store No. 2668 at 940 N. Main Street in Ottawa, which has a population of barely more than 6,000. The winner spent only $1 and let the computer pick a random number.
After taxes, he or she will take home $110.5 million — more than double the city of Ottawa's budget.
The Kansas winner shared in a national $656 million Mega Millions jackpot that culminated last Friday, when the lucky numbers were drawn. The record amount set off a frenetic ticket buying spree nationwide.
Kansas sold $28.5 million worth of lottery tickets in March, a 52 percent spike over March 2011, when there was only a measly $312 million Mega Millions jackpot.
On Saturday, lottery officials announced that winning Mega Millions tickets were purchased in Illinois, Maryland and northeastern Kansas.
But the Kansas winner didn't check the numbers until Monday, when they looked at the lottery's web site.
"They checked it over 10 times to make sure they were reading it right and still had a hard time believing it," Wilson said.
They called the lottery office in Topeka at 8:30 Friday morning. About two hours later, the winner arrived accompanied by a lawyer and two financial advisers. The paperwork was completed before noon, and the money will be transferred to the winner's account electronically.
Meanwhile, the rural Illinois community of Red Bud is still waiting for the mystery winner of its share of the Mega Millions jackpot to step forward. And in Maryland, questions still surround a Baltimore woman who claimed to have the other winning ticket, but then said she couldn't find it.
Back in Kansas, the state lottery handed out even more money Friday, a total of about $460,000 to 20 winners of other games.
But no one was paying much attention to them.
One winning couple quietly slipped into a conference room to claim a $100,000 instant-ticket prize. Security escorted the man and the woman out with barely anyone noticing.
Not even the cardboard cut-out with the smiley face.

I Lost 100 Pounds in Less Than a Year!
I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. I liked to eat and I didn't like to move. I have gained and lost (and gained again) more than I can count. This January, God changed my heart and flipped a switch in me. I eat healthy foods because I want to, I enjoy working out, and life is good. My preferred method is Weight Watchers, but there's no secret. Enjoy your life, eat healthy foods that taste good, and move! I feel better than I ever have, and the way I look on the outside is just a bonus. I even have a blog where I write about my successes and struggles (http://www.healthybeautifulblessed.com). I have lost 100.2 pounds in 11 months. I know who I am and I like who I am for the first time in years. I'm not quite an "after" yet, but I'm getting there. I don't even recognize the girl in that before picture.
