Richard Deacon's voluptuous abstract forms have placed him at the helm of British sculpture since the 1980s and, hugely influential, his works are visible in major public commissions around the world. His voracious appetite for material has seen him move between laminated wood, stainless steel, corrugated iron, polycarbonate, marble, clay, vinyl, foam and leather, as if each sculpture were defined by contrast to its successor. As he explained in an interview in 2005, "Changing materials from one work to the next is a way of beginning again each time (and thus of finishing what had gone before)". Deacon describes himself as a 'fabricator', emphasising the construction behind the finished object – although many of the works are indeed cast, modelled or carved by hand – and accordingly the logic of the fabrication is often exposed: sinuous curved forms might be bound by glue oozing between layers of wood or have screws and rivets protruding from sheets of steel, wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Such transparency highlights the reactive nature of the process: it is part of a two-way conversation between artist and material that transforms the workaday into something metaphorical. The idea of 'fabrication' also denotes making something up, of fiction rather than truth, and this knack for wordplay surfaces in Deacon's titles, which might establish juxtapositions or wreak new meaning from familiar sayings or clichés – see Let's not be Stupid (1991), No Stone Unturned (1999) or Water Under the Bridge (2008).
Richard Deacon was born in Bangor, Wales in 1949 and lives and works in London. He has a BA from St Martin's School of Art (1972) and an MA in Environmental Media from the Royal College of Art (1977). He recently had a retrospective at the Sprengel Museum, Hannover, Germany (2011), while a survey is opening at Tate Britain in 2014. Solo exhibitions include Musée de la Ville de Strasbourg, France (2010), Portland Art Museum, Oregon (2008), PS1 Contemporary Art Center, New York (2001), MACCSI, Caracas, Venezuela (1996), Whitechapel Art Gallery, London (1989) and Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (1988). He represented Wales at the Venice Biennale (2007) and has participated in the Venice Architecture Biennale (2012), the Glasgow International (2006) and documenta 9 (1992). He won the Turner Prize in 1987 and the Robert Jakobsen Prize, Museum Wurth, Kunzelsau, Germany in 1995. He was awarded the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres by the Ministry of Culture, France in 1996 and made a CBE in 1999.

This probably gets asked multiple times, but where can I get the best prices for tickets? I know they don't discount much and I usually use Working Advantage. My apologies if there is a 'sticky' thread and I missed it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Currently, Costco has the best price. Tickets are $259 for 4 day hoppers, and come with a $50 costco card.
If you know someone who works in the So. Cal area, they may get discounts through their work. I get the best deals through my work.
Also check AAA and your local credit union. If you know any teachers, they may get discounts through their educators association. Certain conventions allow non-attendees to use their discounts for tickets (e.g. Gay Days Convention in October). And certain fundraisers allow participants to get discounted tickets after completing the event (e.g. CHOC Walk, also in October).
We are in Nor Cal and I went to our AAA office. They said their prices are the same as DLR except the give you free parking. And I know our CostCo is out of the passes already. Good Luck
Even if the AAA ticket prices are the same (and ours has a small discount on multi day hoppers and passes -- so ask anyway, it can't hurt), saving $15 per day on parking really can help.
I'm a California teacher and the teacher discount was not as good as the Ares price, http://arestravel.com/722_DisneylandResort.html If you live in California and plan on going a couple times then the monthly payments for annual passes end up cheapest in the short and long run because they are $120 to start then $32 a month
The costco tickets from PP, need to be used by 28th Feb 2013. boohoo we miss out by a couple of days.
The medical associations give discounts to their members or employees of members. That is where I get mine thru my work.
I bought mine online through Disney using my Discover card and received 5% cash back. I basically saved $42 on two adult and 1 childs 5 day hopper ticket. Discover is offering 5% cash back right now through December for online purchases. I do not know if online means buying tickets for Disneyland. When I bought mine they were having a specific cash back Theme Park tickets.
Oh Yeah, one more idea. If you have a Target debt or charge card you can get 5% back on purchases. They sell Disney Gift cards. Buy a bunch and then use them to buy your tickets. The budget board has discussed it and it sounds like it works. Target considers Disney gift cards "entertainment" from what I understand so you are allowed to buy them and get the cash back. Some stores limit how many you can buy at a time so sometime people have to make multiple purchases.
If anyone in your party is active or retired military thay have great ticket prices. $99.00 for a three day park hopper!
Last Minute Travel has good deals on tickets! I think it was $255 for an adult 4 day hopper vs $270 at the gate.
Getaway Today has a special on right now, $35.00 off the ticket price and a free upgrade, so you can upgrade your 3 day to a 4 day for free. Tickets are for January 2013 and they must be used by 11Mar2013.
I see where it says free upgrade but I don't see where you actually get it free The cost showing for four days is 240 ($5 less then thru Disney) but no where is a three day showing as four or th prices making sense
Remember they put your name on all multi day tickets now and then check id's at the gate. I mean in case you use someone else's discount or whatever which I don't have a problem with but just giving a heads up.

Feather River beats Shasta
FRC's Devin Crisosto slips past a Shasta defender and leaps toward the hoop. The Feather River men took control of conference with a 20-point victory last Saturday. Photos by Shannon Morrow
The Feather River College men's and women's basketball teams each picked up an important conference win against Shasta last Saturday evening in Quincy.
In back-to-back matches in front of a home crowd, the FRC women defeated Shasta 63-58, and then the men beat Shasta 69-49.
On the men's side, both Feather River and Shasta entered the contest 4-1 in the Golden Valley Conference, so the victory moved FRC into first place with four games left in the regular season.
For the women, the win brought the Golden Eagles' conference record to 4-2, keeping their playoff hopes alive.
Feather River's final home games of the regular season are this Saturday, Feb. 4, against College of the Redwoods. The women's game begins at 2 p.m., followed by the men's game at 4 p.m.
Feather River started last Saturday's game strong by building an 11-3 lead, but then Shasta got back to within one point at 18-17.
FRC's last two scores of the first half were three-pointers, giving the Golden Eagles a 28-21 advantage at the intermission.
Early in the second half, Shasta cut FRC's advantage to two points at 33-31, but then Feather River went on a 13-point run.
Shasta scored the next five points, bringing the score to 46-36 with ten minutes remaining in the game, but then the Golden Eagles put the game away with a 16-2 run that gave them a 24-point lead.
Freshman guard Devin Crisosto led Feather River with 17 points, making six of six from the free-throw line.
Andrew Lotts claimed 13 points for the Golden Eagles, and Budweiser Hawkins III, FRC's only sophomore, sparked the team with 12 points.
Carlos Velazquez also scored four points for Feather River with four three-pointers.
Leading by three points with 20 seconds left in the game, FRC's Alexis Johnson sank both free throws of a one-and-one situation to put the game away for the Golden Eagles.
Johnson led Feather River with 20 points, 13 of which came in the second half.
With a narrow 30-28 advantage at halftime, the Golden Eagles maintained control down the stretch to garner a five-point win.
Kelly Hernandez was FRC's next highest scorer with 16 points, 10 of which were recorded in the second half.
Freshman Jasmine Plummer finished with 10 points for Feather River and led the team with seven steals.
In rebounding, Hernandez led with nine boards, followed by Jessica Voyles with six, Plummer with five, Johnson with four and Rachelle Dennis with three.

ISACA discover new cricket talent
Trinidad & Tobago Newsday article.
Port of Spain, Trinidad - A new cricket star seems to be on the rise in the Central area, he is 11- year old Amrit Dass who performed with distinction with the ball during the annual Over-35 versus Under-35 Cricket match at the Edinburgh Recreation Ground last week.
The game which was funded by Fizes Hosein, the president of the International Sports and Cultural Academy (ISACA), allowed supporters to witness the bowling skills of little Amrid- a student of the Felicity Hindu Primary School, who with his leg-breaks was able to take four wickets in the match and earn the Under-35 victory.
After the game Hosein presented Amrid with a cash award and promised to help with his overall development. Only yesterday Hosein told Newsday that he has made contact with Ian Ramlal— the Primary School representative on the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB), to ask him to have a close look at the budding cricketer. Hosein, the brainchild of the Dollar Cricket tournaments, has been on a drive to unearth new talent and assist in the development of young individuals through the avenue of sports.
He told Newsday he feels he has seen a young talent who could progress all the way to the Trinidad and Tobago junior and senior teams, once he gets the proper nurturing. The ISACA boss vowed to monitor his progress saying he will do what is necessary to ensure that Amrid lives up to his true potential.
At the same time Hosein in an address to the supporters before the game, made a plea for parents to work hard with their young ones. "They are the future of the nation and it is critical for them to be socialised properly so that they can grow up to be well respected individuals" Hosein explain.

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
Met up with Blazey on XBL last night and he wants to join us again this year. Added him to the wiki.
If the MW3 tourney is any indication it's unlikely that we'll get 24 SD'ers. If we want to have 8 teams of 4 then we may need to have 2 SD players + 2 non-SD players per team. How does everyone feel about that? Other options....2v2 or 3x3 Tourny? Thoughts? If we have smaller teams I would vote against TDM on mid-large maps and make it so that it's objective based only (HQ, Hardpoint) or TDM can only be played on the smallest map (Hijacked). But I'm sure there are factors I'm missing here so please let everyone know what you think. Also...when running a custom game I think EVERYTHING is unlocked right? Should we restrict that? |
Roland - I just got the word that Thomas (DiabeticBaby) would like to join in again this time too. He played in the MW3 tourney. I'll add his name to the wiki, get his k/d info, and get you an email address where you can send him the doodle scheduling requests. He is a non-S/D'er.
I like the 3v3 though to keep it more SD. I also think it would be fun to throw in some 3+3 v 3+3 matches. I don't know how you would do a tourney of that, but that would be a possible way to get a seeding.
I also would not mind the 3x3 format. MW3 had an actual mode for that (can't think of the name right now...dang old age!) and it was actually pretty fun. Carrier is another good map I think if we need smaller ones. Hardpoint mode is pretty intense but a lot of fun! BLOPS 2 is supposed to have the option for multi-team deathmatch as well (up to 4 teams) but I haven't tried it out yet. We should nail down at least one other mode to mix it up some. We did some Domination in the MW3 tourney and some of those matches got pretty crazy (and frustrating)! lol

Was working on getting a K/D last night that was over inflated from playing in the noob playlists...then Skeeza comes along and pulls me into some Hardcore matches. 1) I forgot how funny I think it is when people are constantly whining about lag....and 2) so far I suck at snipers, but that was about it. I could cruse no problem at a 1.0 KD and middle of the pack in points. I felt like a valued contributor.

Every Civil War and/or American history scholar knows exactly where the southern border of Missouri is. West of the 'bootheel', the line is 36 degrees, 30 minutes north latitude - the line of the Missouri Compromise. For Missouri to be added as a (slave) state in 1820, (free) Maine would follow, and slavery would be banned west and north of the line. The Missouri Compromise was declared unconstitutional in the Dred Scott case, and later nullified with the Kansas-Nebraska Act - and the rest is bloody history. But what about the northern line - that is, the border with Iowa? Its position and existence seem to be taken for granted. But it shouldn't, thanks to an erroneous surveyor and three bee trees.
The problem with the northern line is that it was not set by latitudinal statute. In the Enabling Act of the State of Missouri in 1820, the west border of the state (going north from 36°30') was to be due north and south of the mouth of the Kansas River, "to the intersection of the parallel of latitude which passes through the rapids of the river Des Moines, making the said line to correspond with the Indian boundary line; thence east from the point of intersection last aforesaid, along the said parallel of latitude, to the middle of the channel of the main fork of the said river Des Moines; thence down and along the middle of the main channel of the said river Des Moines" to the Mississippi and then south. The northwestern corner of the state, including the city of St. Joseph, was not added until the Platte Purchase in 1837. This northwest corner of Missouri is a few miles west of Athelstan, Iowa (Taylor County).
The "Indian boundary line" in question was drawn by J.C. Sullivan in 1816. He was told to delineate the space between the Osage Indians and the then-Missouri Territory. From various websites, the consensus appears that he worked in an easterly direction, which leads to the problem. Sullivan either forgot about, ignored or was unaware of magnetic declination - that is, the difference between what your compass says is north (the magnetic north pole) and what is really north (90 degrees north latitude, the geographic north pole). From where he started in western Missouri, the (21st-century) declination is approximately 4 1/2 degrees; at the Des Moines, the declination is 2 degrees. Thus, as Sullivan worked east, the "straight" line angled to a decidedly east-north-easterly direction, especially in the eastern third, and he reached the Mississippi in what is now downtown Fort Madison, approximately three miles north of where he should have been. Whoops. The problem was compounded when the southern boundary of the Wisconsin Territory was stated to be the northern border of Missouri, locking the two in an endless loop.
The "rapids of the river Des Moines" was a point of contention in the late 1830s, when Sullivan's marks had disappeared and the Iowa Territory was being carved out. Missouri commissioned a Mr. Brown to re-survey the land. However, there was an error in communication: Sullivan's "rapids of the river Des Moines" were actually in the Mississippi, the name given by the locals, as the features in question were a few miles north of the Des Moines River. Brown instead went looking for the Des Moines Rapids on the Des Moines River, and believing to have found them near the big bend in the river near what is now Keosauqua, went and did his surveying from there. Brown's line is, or is approximately, halfway up the last tier of counties, two townships' worth. The north side of Mount Ayr would straddle and Centerville would be bisected by this line (if that was the one).
The border having been so drawn, Missourians decided it was time "their" land contributed to the tax base. When the people, most of whom considered themselves Iowans, answered this demand with raised pitchforks, trees that bees used to store honey (inevitably referred to as "bee trees") were cut down and the honey used as payment. The arrest of a Missouri sheriff followed, and in December 1839 hundreds of Iowans and Missourians headed to the Van Buren-Clark County area to defend their states. (This was the first use of the Iowa National Guard.) Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed, and the Supreme Court was called in to decide the matter. Eventually, in Missouri v. Iowa, 7 How. 660 (1849) and Missouri v. Iowa, 10 How. 1 (1851), a line was physically marked, and that marking was reaffirmed in Missouri v. Iowa, 160 U.S. 688 (1896). (Numbers are Supreme Court case files.)
Despite the incident that led to the Honey War happening in Van Buren County, that county got the worst lot in the end. Although the case was ruled in favor of Iowa, following Sullivan's Line, by that point the eastern half of the county had already lost two north-south miles. Had the line been drawn horizontally, present-day IA 81's length would have doubled, and Croton in Lee County would be where the straight boundary ended. Croton - or Athens, Missouri, just across the river - is the site of the northernmost battle of the Civil War, according to Croton's website and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Since there is a house that shows holes made by a cannonball, one is inclined to believe the claim.
The land east of the Des Moines River was never really in dispute. Sullivan's Line formed the north edge of a triangle called the Half-Breed Tract, set aside for those of mixed race in 1824. Ten years later, speculators swooped in on the land, and it took another nine years for everything to be sorted out. Today, the line is still used to divide Lee County land administration between the two county seats at Fort Madison and Keokuk.
What if instead of following treaty lines, Sullivan was told to follow a specific degree of latitude? The best one for the job, at least retroactively, seems to be 40 degrees, 35 minutes north. The DeLorme Iowa Atlas and Gazetteer marks 40°35'15", but not the whole minute. The USGS says that a second of latitude is approximately 101 feet, and a minute 6068 feet; thus, 40°35' is about 1515 feet south of that line, or about .28 miles. Making a map was helped immensely by that line and the fact that County Road J62 is just a tiny bit north of it (not shown; see state maps).
This map is drawn with 2002 highway routes because, plain and simple, it's a lot easier to draw that way. (There is something to be said for straight, non-bypassing roads.) It shows the Sullivan Line and 40°35' running across Lee County; west of the Des Moines, the Sullivan Line is the state line. From west to east ends on this map, the line moves northward approximately one mile; on the west side of Fort Madison, US 61 and IA 2 actually use it for a bit before turning north and meeting what was IA 103 (see page). Using DeLorme's Street Atlas computer program and the USGS conversion numbers for latitude, here is a list of points on the Sullivan Line and their variance from 40°35', east to west, in decimal minutes to the nearest hundredth of a minute (which is ~60 feet, 8 inches). From this we can see that the border is definitely not truly straight, although it may look or be drawn that way on maps:
Fort Madison shoreline | 37.65 | 16080 (just over 3 miles) |
US 61/IA 2, west intersection of road and Sullivan Line | 37.58 | 15655 |
US 218, 1/2 mile north of former IA 394 junction | 37.12 | 12864 |
Des Moines River, 2 miles south of Farmington, where state line follows river; northernmost point in Missouri | 36.83 | 11104 (2.1 miles) |
MO 15, southwest Van Buren County | 36.07 | 6492 (just under 1 1/4 miles) |
US 63, Davis County | 35.62 | 3762 |
IA 202 at Coatsville, Missouri, near south Davis/Appanoose corner; Coatsville is farther north than Athelstan, Iowa | 35.46 | 2791 (just over 1/2 mile) |
IA 5, 5 miles southwest of Cincinnati | 35.21 | 1274 (just under 1/4 mile) |
State line crosses 40°35' at County Road S60, 1 mile west of Appanoose/Wayne line | ||
US 65 at Lineville; Sixth Street, 1/5 mile north, follows latitude line | 34.82 | -1092 |
Interstate 35/US 69 | 34.52 | -2913 (-0.55 mile) |
US 169, 2.5 miles south of Redding | 34.28 | -4370 |
Athelstan, southeast Taylor County, at or near southernmost point of Sullivan's Line; also near where the line began | 34.25 | -4551 (-0.86 mile) |
IA 148, 1.5 miles northeast of Hopkins, Missouri | 34.40 | -3641 |
US 71 at Braddyville | 34.58 | -2549 (just under 1/2 mile) |
US 59, 1.3 miles south of County Road J64/former IA 333 | 34.85 | -910 |
State line crosses 40°35' halfway between County Road L68 and US 275 in Fremont County | ||
Interstate 29 | 35.06 | 364 |
Western state corner | 35.11 | 667 |
Difference between Iowa's southernmost point on line (Athelstan) and Missouri's northernmost point (Des Moines River) | 2.58 degrees (36.83-34.25) | 15655 (nearly 3 miles, less than a football field short of that) |
Difference between Coatsville and Athelstan (western 7/9, or 78%, of line) | 1.21 degrees (35.46-34.25) | 7342 (~1.4 miles) - note that eastern 22% adds 1.6 miles |
If the line of 40°35' were to be made the boundary by joint legislative acts (and Congress?), I don't know which state would win land-wise, though I'm guessing it's Iowa. Iowa would also gain the unincorporated communities of Coatsville and Athens (including much but not all of the Battle of Athens State Historic Site). On the other hand, Missouri would gain all or most of incorporated Blanchard, Braddyville, Athelstan, Pleasanton, and half of Lineville, plus the entirety of the I-35/US 69 interchange. Maybe Iowa got the better end of the deal after all. Perhaps Iowa's battle cry should be "40°34' Or Fight".

Please don't give the government any ideas!
Please don't give the government any ideas! Next thing you know some anti-fun, loser lawmaker will be mandating we all wear helmets for our safety. As always it will start with children first then incrementally creep towards a law in adults.
As someone who grew up during the Evil Knievel era jumping my Schwin Stingray over as many trash cans as I could with no helmet, skiing fast and recklessly before ski areas banned that with no helmet and playing coyboys and indians with real BB guns, one pump rule only of course, I find these new helmet laws and such so PC and idiotic & it's just plain foolish. It's a dangerous world out there maybe we sould mandate helmets while driving a car or being a pedestrian in any city with a "high density" population...?? Oh yeah and any elderly person requiring a cane or walker should most definitely wear a helmet too we all know how often they fall down. Save the children.....!!!!! Save the elderly......!!!! Look like idiots!
I never knew anyone of my friends who "lost an eye" or who was "paralysed" or "permanently brain damaged". Have we become a society of wimps and losers. Next time any of you go skiing look at how stupid the helmet wearers look. The best part is they are always the slowest most careful "sally assed" skiiers on the mountain except for the snow boarders but they have so many stickers on their helmets you can't tell if it's a helmet or a bill board any way..
My guess is that this thread was a troll and you got me!!!

I just recently bought this laptop 1 week ago. There's no problem and suddenly yesterday it keeps on loosing connection with the internet. I tried to restart the router to make it sure it is not the problem. I tried also my iPhone to connect with wifi and there's no issue no disconnection happened. What could be the possible cause of this problem? Can you provide me instructions on how to resolve this issue? Can you provide me alternative on how to fix it?

-Dissatisfaction with Federalism Grows-
aka "Obey all directives"
When a State disagrees with a Federal program, what's the solution? Apparently in Australia, abolition of the State is the logical next step.
According to "polls", 4 out of 10 Australians would have no problem living under one unchecked Federal Government.
It's a worrying trend and something we should all shudder to consider. When the institutions of dissent are removed, what will become of our precious liberties?
With parallels to the US State vs. Federal friction, this is could set an alarming precedent.

UN expert on Myanmar calls for release of Aung San Suu Kyi
14 May 2009
GENEVA -- The United Nations Special Rapporteur on situation of human rights in Myanmar, Tomás Ojea Quintana, expressed serious concern Thursday regarding the unlawful detention of Aung San Suu Kyi, General Secretary of the National League for Democracy (NLD), and called for her unconditional release.
According to information received by Ojea Quintana, Aung San Suu Kyi and two aides were escorted this morning by security forces to Insein prison. They appeared before a special court and were charged under article 22 of the State Protection law. Their trial has been scheduled for 18 May 2009. They are currently detained in the Insein compound.
The new charges are said to be in connection with the recent intrusion of an American citizen into the home of Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been under house arrest for the past six years. "Since her house is well guarded by security forces, the responsibility for preventing such intrusions, and alerting the authorities, lies with the security forces and not with Aung San Suu Kyi and her aides," Ojea Quintana said.
Ojea Quintana said that Aung San Suu Kyi's detention has been in contravention of Articles 9, 10 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as Myanmar's own State Protection Law of 1975 under which she was initially charged in 2003, which allows for a maximum of five years' detention – meaning she should have been released a year ago.
"I call on the Government of Myanmar to release Aung San Suu Kyi and her aides unconditionally," Ojea Quintana said. He added that in order to ensure national reconciliation and democratic transition, to which the Myanmar leadership has committed itself, all 2156 prisoners of conscience currently detained by the authorities should be released before the 2010 elections.

Ace of rebase
Wall Street finds itself in a 1994 state of mind
Wall Street is obsessing about 1994. But it's not nostalgia for Ace of Base or "Seinfeld" that has the financial industry atwitter - it's turmoil in the bond market.
A sudden jump in interest rates 19 years ago inflicted mega damage. Determining who is getting clobbered is today's parlor game in New York, London and Hong Kong. From the start of 1994 to October, yields on benchmark 10-year Treasury bonds rose from 6 percent to over 8 percent, precipitated by an abrupt hike in interest rates by the Federal Reserve. In the past month, yields on the 10-year have increased from just under 2 percent to 2.6 percent.
The shift in 1994 caught many on Wall Street by surprise, including the mighty Goldman Sachs. Hundreds of millions of dollars in losses required the then-private group's partners to dip into their own bank accounts to recapitalize the firm.
Big bank bosses seem calm, though, saying it's different this time - and there are crucial differences. Though the recent move, percentage-wise, is as big as in 1994, the absolute damage should not be as great. The change in the price of bonds is smaller - meaning lower mark-to-market losses. A doubling of yields from 2 percent to 4 percent would only lead to around a 15 percent loss of principal, compared to nearly twice as much when starting from a 5 percent yield.
On top of that, the big banks' trading operations hold substantially more capital and liquid assets and, at least in the United States, cannot make big bets with their own money like they did two decades ago. These are the result of regulatory changes after the 2008 crisis - take your pick from Basel III, Dodd-Frank, Vickers, Volcker or Liikanen.
There could yet be carnage. Banks still carry some inventory. Major firms are pondering the effect of the 10-year yield hitting 5 percent. If all try to exit similar trades at the same time, the market could seize up and leave sellers stuck. Moreover, the Salomon Brothers prop trader of the 1990s is today's hedge fund superstar. But that's the whole point. The recent reforms were designed to chase risk-taking out of state-insured banks whose failure could precipitate a systemic collapse to institutions where private investors bear the losses.
In that context, a 1994-style bond market panic would be an ideal test of the efficacy of the assumptions guiding regulatory reform. Come to think of it, maybe that's what the Fed is up to.

Anyway. The zoo.
This isn't the first time Jenny and I have taken our babies to the zoo together (see: last summer), and it's also not the first time I've found myself wandering the zoo on a hot summer day at eight months pregnant (see: the summer before that). But we did have a handful of other zoo firsts:
1.) Anneliese's first time not sleeping through the zoo. In fact, she was wide awake and curious and (of course) called every animal a puppy, and pointed and laughed and seemed to love it. She rode in the stroller about half the time, but when we let her roam free and explore, she didn't hesitate. Puppy! Puppy! Puppeeeeeeee!!!!
Yes, it's a special kind of puppy. Called a zebra. |
2.) My first time making a predictable mom comment about my kid being the one who belongs in the zoo. I texted this picture to a friend, saying something along those lines, and immediately had to send a follow-up text apologizing for saying the most predictable mommy thing of all the mom things I've ever said since becoming a mom. Wow.
But no, seriously, he kind of looks like he belongs in the zoo... right? |
4.) Our first time with a kid who will sit on the statues without crying. Nathan and Katie? Notsomuch into this. But mommies love the photo op, and once Anneliese did it and smiled about it, the big kids were more likely to try it out too.
5.) Our first time with kids who incessantly ask questions. Where are the polar bears? Why are they sleeping? Why do they like to sleep inside? What's your favorite animal at the zoo, Mommy? What's that chimpanzee's* favorite color? Why is that lion sleeping when it's not alone time? What's Daddy's** favorite animal at the zoo? What does the lemur like to eat? Does the puffin not like the penguins? Does the giraffe like to eat the tree but not share with the zebra? Why does Anneliese think that's a puppy? Hey Katie what's your favorite animal at the zoo? Hey Katie what's your favorite color? If this still sounds cute to you, it's because A- you don't live with it, or B- you can admire the inquisitive nature of bright children. For me, both of those things are true, so I waver between cute and ohdearlordpleasestoptalkingnow.
You guys love it when I talk nonstop, right? |
I don't know what he's chattering on about, but *I* love it! |
Anyway it was a happy HOT fun day at the zoo!
*repeated question for every. single. animal. we saw.
**repeated question for every. single. person. we know.

I was driving Moose to the local Chevron station to put air in his 18 inch beasty tires when I came across this picture to the right. Study the picture carefully, what do you see? What you see are two lovely moms trying to figure out how to use an industrial powered air pump to inflate their baby stroller!
The stroller was the deluxe version, with nice visor, four off-road looking tires, and space for two babies. I looked it up online and it says I can buy the "Bumbleride Indie Twin Double All" for only $800. Wow!
Anyway, I told the moms to be careful, because the industrial power air pump is meant for tires 100 times the size and they could literally blow up their stroller tires. They brushed me off, and said "Oh not to worry, we've done this before." Hmmm, OK!
10 minutes later….. seriously, 10 minutes later, they are screaming at each other! "WTF is wrong with this thing! Ugh, how come I can't the nozzle to fit?! We need to get a hand pump next time!" For someone who has "done this before", they sure are making a fuss and taking a damn long time!
I couldn't help giggling like a school girl and started taking a couple pictures. It was seriously the funniest thing I've seen in a while. When I first arrived, they were standing behind another car who was getting its tires pumped. It's like waiting in line at the McDonald's drive-through in your spandex behind a fuming exhaust pipe!
I was trying to figure out why these women would not want to just buy a $10-$15 hand pump to inflate their overpriced super stroller. The only logical conclusion I got was they there were being cheap. Seriously, who spends 10 minutes and all that frustration and embarrassment to try and pump their stroller wheels at the gas station!
During my 10 minute wait, I also reflected on what type of cheap bastard things I've done. Nothing at all! Just kidding, I'm thinking things over now.
A List Of Things That Might Be Considered Cheap
* Haven't bought a new pair of jeans in 8 years because I think nice ones are a rip-off. $200… really?! Besides, the Diesel jeans I bought 11 years ago for $120 still fit me. Cheap bastard?
* I saved years and years of living expenses by the time I turned 30. Could have spent like Snoop Dogg, but didn't. My reasoning was I needed to save because I was whipped so hard at my first job from ages 22-24, that there was no way I could survive if I had to work more than 20 years. Cheap bastard?
* When I was in college, I bought my girlfriend an awesome fake Prada wallet when I went to a night market in China. I didn't tell her it was fake, because it looked so real. Besides, I didn't have money to spend $300 on a real one. I think she finally figured it out, but im not sure. Cheap bastard?
* When I go to one friend's tennis club, I'd rather drive around the block a couple times than pay the $3/hour parking fee. If after 5 minutes, I will quit. The club is in a sparsely populated area, so I feel bad paying for parking if I don't need to. Cheap bastard?
* Even though it's 8pm, I'd rather wait 15 minutes for the bus to come, go on a 25 minute ride, and use my pre-paid monthly bus pass than pay $15 for a 10 minute cab ride home. Frugal or wasting precious time?
* Rather starve than spend $13 on an over-priced sandwich at the airport, even if I know it won't be another 3-5 hours before my next meal. Cheap bastard?
* Rather continue watching my 7-year old TFT-LCD TV with faded color than spend $800-1,200 for a new one because it is such a pain in the ass to change systems. With new technology, I need to buy a new receiver and cable, leading to another $600+ in expenses. Frugal?
* My furnace is around 13-15 years old, but still works. It costs about $3,000 to replace with a more energy efficient, better looking, new one. I don't want to bother until it breaks, unlike a water heater, where I highly recommend one change once the recommended shelf-life is over. Frugal?
* Decided to put black tape on Moose's dashboard, rather than fix the traction control and ABS lights because it costs $1,500+ and my mechanic says don't fix it because the functions work, just not the useless circuit board. I do feel a little embarrased if I take someone I don't know for a ride. I hope they don't notice the black tape. Cheap bastard?
People do stupid stuff with their time, all the time in order to save money. As I've said before, there's no point making money if you don't spend your money! As I get older, I realize this more and more.
After experiencing the Asian crisis in 1997, the dotcom bust in 2000, and the economic Armageddon in 2008-2009, it's very hard to change my cheap bastard tendencies, but I'm trying! It's 2015 now and the economy has fully recovered. Stocks are close to record highs and the real estate market is strong.
Manage Your Finances In One Place: One of the best way to become financially independent and protect yourself is to get a handle on your finances by signing up with Personal Capital. They are a free online platform which aggregates all your financial accounts in one place so you can see where you can optimize your money. Before Personal Capital, I had to log into eight different systems to track 25+ difference accounts (brokerage, multiple banks, 401K, etc) to manage my finances on an Excel spreadsheet. Now, I can just log into Personal Capital to see how all my accounts are doing, including my net worth. I can also see how much I'm spending and saving every month through their cash flow tool.
The best feature is their Portfolio Fee Analyzer, which runs your investment portfolio(s) through its software in a click of a button to see what you are paying. I found out I was paying $1,700 a year in portfolio fees I had no idea I was hemorrhaging! There is no better financial tool online that has helped me more to achieve financial freedom. It only takes a minute to sign up.

Market Focus: Cleaning for Health
If there is one expression that has become the motto, if not the marching orders, of today's professional cleaning industry, it is "cleaning for health." This all-important phrase was likely first coined by Dr. Michael Berry in his precedent-setting book, Protecting the Built Environment: Cleaning for Health. Since then, this concept has become powerful and significant—and rightly so.

(Left to right) Georgia Tech Band, President Obama thanks Tiffany Davis, Maggie Bridges sings the National Anthem
A note of thanks to the Georgia Tech community from G. P. "Bud" Peterson
Georgia Tech has had the privilege of welcoming our nation's leaders to speak on our campus for more than a century, and the tradition continued on March 10 as we welcomed President Barack Obama.
As Val and I sat and visited with others while waiting for President Obama to arrive, we looked around at the capacity crowd of almost 10,000 in McCamish Pavilion, including mostly students, and could not have been more proud. While there had been a long wait outside and within McCamish, the crowd was patient and courteous. More than 200 student volunteers from various organizations, along with 50 staff volunteers assisted with ushering, line movement, parking, shuttles, and crowd control outside. Fifty members of the Georgia Tech band played for about two hours prior to the program to help entertain. Our welcome was trademark Georgia Tech, with Jake Meisner outside with the Ramblin' Wreck, Miss Georgia and Georgia Tech Business major Maggie Bridges singing the national anthem, and Georgia Tech Aerospace Engineering major Tiffany Davis introducing President Obama.
When Georgia Tech was approached by the White House to possibly host President Obama for a speech on higher education, we were honored. It was a huge undertaking, but well worth it. Our staff, faculty, and students pitched in to do whatever it took to make the event a success, including Athletics, Catering, the CRC, Emergency Preparedness, Environmental Health and Safety, Facilities, the Georgia Tech Police Department, Parking and Transportation Services, Government and Community Relations, Institute Communications, OIT, Student Affairs, student groups, the Student Center, as well as volunteers from almost all departments.
We received a number of compliments from the White House staff about the outstanding job the Georgia Tech team did in making this event a success. It provided yet another opportunity to give national attention to Georgia Tech, including our outstanding students, faculty, staff, and programs. I was a little disappointed that George P. Burdell was not able to introduce President Obama, but I am fairly certain he attended, as it was one of the great events in Georgia Tech history.
In my six years as serving as Georgia Tech's president, I have many memories. The way you represented Georgia Tech was outstanding, and it will be a lasting memory for the entire Georgia Tech community.
G. P. "Bud" Peterson
Welcome to the Georgia Institute of Technology
Established in 1885, Georgia Tech is a talented and diverse community of learners and scholars located in the dynamic city of Atlanta. Members of the Tech community are united by a commitment to intellectual rigor and excellence, and engaged together in the discovery of knowledge in the classroom, in the research lab, and in community outreach.

When presenting the Best Picture Oscar this year, Laurence Oliver forgot to name the other nominees. He simply opened the envelope and proclaimed the winner which was Amadeus.
This was the year in which Sally Field (who won Best Actress for Place in the Heart) delivered her famous "You like me!" speech. In the years that would follow The Academy would use her speech as a suggestion to their potential winners of how not to deliver and acceptance speech.
Stevie Wonder dedicated his Oscar for Best Original Song to the then imprisoned civil rights leader Nelson Mandela. As a result the South African government banned all his music from the country.
The program won an Emmy Award forOutstanding Art Direction for a Variety or Music Program.
Stevie Wonder, who one the Oscar for Best Original Song for "I Just Called to Say I Love You" from The Woman in Red, became the first blind person to receive an Oscar.

Valley Painter Wants You to "Hire a Vet, Not a Wet." Yeah, He Means Wetback
Nice try |
It seems to have backfired.
The business card of Russell Lewis, of Russell Lewis & Son Painting, has an American flag on it. It has the name of his company and it touts his 30 years of experience. It also has the catchphrase "hire a vet, not a wet" written on it.
Obviously, Lewis meant wetback -- a racial slur towards Hispanics -- which has some of residents of the neighborhood where Lewis distributed the cards pretty pissed off.
Astoundingly, Lewis has a Hispanic wife, who, when she saw the cards, told him not to distribute them. Lewis had a different solution: use a black marker to cross of the "not a wet" on each of his business cards. He did a horrible job, and "not a wet" could still be seen on the cards, despite the redaction.
We tried to get a hold of Lewis to no avail. But KPHO ambushed him at his house yesterday for a chat.
From KPHO.
"Russell Lewis? Is this your flier?" the resident was asked [by reporter Elias Johnson].
"Yeah, it's mine," Lewis replied.
Lewis said he attempted to correct the business card by crossing out the term "Not a Wet" with a black permanent marker.
"I was desperate for work and I didn't have money to change the cards," Lewis said.
Lewis said his Hispanic wife told him not to distribute the cards, but he said he was humiliated after standing at a Phoenix Home Depot with a sign that read, "Looking for Work."
"I don't know if you know this, but there are a lot of illegal people who stand out there and I was singled out," Lewis said."It isn't hate or anything," Lewis said.
"It's very hateful for the people who read it today and brought it to our attention. It's very hateful," Johnson said.
"Well, I'm sorry they interpreted it that way. It wasn't meant to be that way," Lewis answered.
"Which way are they supposed to interpret that?" Johnson asked.
"They were supposed to read what's in print," Lewis claimed.
Check out the video of Johnson confronting Lewis here.
