"bought the tropical romance invitations for for our destination wedding, great quality and fast shipping... the only complaint is the print other than the big bold names is really small..."
"This was our first order through wedding paper divas but we had ordered from tiny prints many times in the past. As usual the customer service was superb and the invitation was perfect. The most challenging part of ordering from this company is deciding on just one design. These invitations are simple but classy, we couldn't be more pleased!"
"Your company made this process so EASY. I am 100% satisfied with the quality, design, and especially with the customer care shown by Wedding Paper Divas. I will happily recommend your company to everyone I know. Beautiful job!!"
"I would prefer a capital RSVP on top of the reply card. I liked it too, but I think it would be more suitable actually in blue hue."
"Thank you to Wedding Paper Divas for its fantastic service, I really appreciate it! Our wedding invitations look great :)"

As the rise of GMO foods (Read my Non-GMO Food Guide) and unwholesome processed food continues to reign in America's mainstream food sources, many families are going back to real traditional food as much as possible. My family is one of those families and I hope yours is too. Let's go back two years. I was suffering from GERD and uncontrollable acid reflux. I was on the maximum prescription dose and still having horrible break through bouts. I had a scope done of my stomach and esophagus, … [Read more...]
Processed Replacements-Make Your Own Cream Soup Substitution
I've been converting processed foods with healthy traditional replacements in my kitchen for the past few years. I firmly believe in cooking and making things ourselves, instead of being spoon fed unhealthy chemical laden products by companies that only care about turning a profit. It can be daunting and my best advice is to start with one item at a time. Begin with the items that you ingest the most of on a daily basis. For me, that was bread. It's been over a year since I've purchased bread … [Read more...]

Pioneering Today-How to Make Fresh Raspberry Juice
Our raspberries are in full swing. As any pioneer, I try to use all of the crop when it's ready to harvest. I made raspberry jelly, but with an entire shelf in the pantry filled with jam and jellies, I'd met my quota. I always freeze raspberries to use in later baked goods, like my scrumptious Raspberry Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake. Simply pick your berries and dump them in a Ziploc bag. I've never laid mine out on wax paper or a sheet to freeze and I've never had a problem of them sticking … [Read more...]

It won't come as any surprise that mortgage lending exploded during the early part of the 2000s before crashing in 2008 and 2009 after the housing bust.
But a new series of maps from the Urban Institute helps illustrate the severity of that boom and bust by shining a light on metro areas and individual neighborhoods. They show where some 100 million mortgages were made between 2001 and 2012. Read More »
Bad investment decisions, a lack of regulation, major shocks to the economy and historically low interest rates were primary causes of the 2008 financial crisis, according to a paper co-authored by David Brat that was presented at a conference in 2009.
Mr. Brat, the Virginia Republican who defeated House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) on Tuesday, is an economics professor at Randolph Macon College in Ashland, Va. As others have noted, much of his writings wed studies of market economics with Christianity and Protestant ethics.
But in a paper he wrote in the summer of 2008 with a colleague, Sydney Jones, Mr. Brat takes a stab at explaining what caused the financial crisis and what it might do to long-term economic growth. Read More »
The U.S. housing market's recovery is still a work in progress, but the problem that got us here in the first place—waves of foreclosures that decimated prices and neighborhoods—is steadily fading into the rearview mirror.
According to the Mortgage Bankers Association's quarterly delinquency report released Thursday, the share of loans on which foreclosures were initiated was right around its long-run average, coming in at 0.45% at the end of the first quarter of 2014 and down from 0.54% at the close of 2013.
In other words: The level of new foreclosures are at mid-2006 levels—pretty much back to normal. Read More »
Wells Fargo & Co. announced this month it would reduce minimum credit scores for certain mortgages eligible for government backing, prompting some declarations that subprime mortgages were making a comeback.
After everything the mortgage industry has gone through, why would Wells Fargo want to go there again?
The short answer: It doesn't.
Part of the issue is confusion over what actually constitutes a subprime loan. Unlike a prime mortgage, there isn't a simple definition of a "subprime" loan.
Originally, subprime referred either to the borrowers taking out these loans—borrowers with credit scores below 620, for example—or to lenders that specialized in higher-priced mortgages. (The Federal Reserve bank of St. Louis produced a handy primer in 2007.)
Over time, mortgages made by subprime lenders or mortgages made to subprime borrowers became lumped together as "subprime mortgages." During and after the housing crisis, subprime took on an ever-more-sweeping (and loaded) definition. Today, many assume that subprime mortgages are irrationally risky loans made to borrowers who have little to no chance of paying them back. Read More »

Maroon has long been one of my least favorite colors, yet somehow I've developed quite the crush on it lately. Isn't it lovely when mixed with the right accents?

|Stars clearly look to future making 2 more trades
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 02 April 2013 12:40
Dallas on Tuesday traded 41-year Jaromir Jagr to Boston and sent surging center Derek Roy to Vancouver. That came just more than a week after captain Brenden Morrow was dealt to Pittsburgh.
The latest moves came a day after a 4-0 loss to Anaheim, a team the Stars play twice more this week. Dallas is 12th in the Western Conference with 13 games left, and on track to miss the playoffs for the fifth year in a row.
Dallas got two young prospects and a conditional second-round pick from Boston, and a 23-year-old defenseman and a second-round pick from Vancouver.
The Stars now have nine picks in this summer's six-round draft.

Focusing on experimental methods, authors Anne Myers and Christine Hansen lead students step by step through the entire research process, from generating testable hypotheses to writing the research report. The major sections of the book parallel the major sections of a research report (Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion), giving students the skills they'll need to design and conduct an experiment, analyze and interpret the research findings, and report those findings. Although the main focus is on experimentation, alternative approaches are discussed as important complements.

STTG Market Recap Sep 4, 2012
Labor day weekend is now behind us and with that Wall Street is coming back to work. Expect a steady uptick in volume throughout the rest of the week.
As far as market summaries go, the best today comes from Fox Business, "The broad S&P 500 closed to the downside after an unexpectedly weak manufacturing report spooked traders. However, rallying Apple shares helped boost the tech-heavy Nasdaq." More detailed analysis on today's weak ISM numbers can be found at Bespoke. The NASDAQ rallied into the afternoon to close up .3% thanks to Apple's +1.5% day and the S&P 500 finished down .1%.
Looking ahead later in the week, the European Central Bank is set to meet on Thursday and investors will be looking for more bullish news from ECB President Mario Draghi. For some realistic analysis on the matter, head over to ZeroHedge. Also, Amazon (AMZN) is expected to announce its next version of the Kindle Fire Thursday.
Updated market analysis below alongside a look at one particular new IPO worth keeping an eye on. Stay frosty out there and we will see you back here tomorrow.
And here is a look at freshly minted IPO (late March 2012) Annie's (BNNY) stock which looks poised to break out to new highs above $45. The company manufacturers over 125 types of natural and organic food (my wife and I love their popcorn), and is a play off the organic market, ie Whole Foods (WFM) trend.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

Two new records here by folks who could look through your entire collection and find absolutely nothing to listen to. Especially this Craig Ventresco fellow: Unless you happen to collect Edison cylinders or acoustically recorded 78s (you know, before they invented microphones?that old), he don't wanna hear it. He is, you see, a ragtime fiend. Claims to have never owned an LP player and to have never heard Led Zeppelin. He's 32.
But he sure can play the guitaracoustic, of course (he probably doesn't even know there is another kind; I won't tell him if you won't). It was him you heard fingerpicking so beautifully on the Crumb soundtrack, and here he gives you 18 more shots of the same: rags and very old blues (arranged by him off of ancient records and song sheets), played with a nice, delicate funk and plenty of stomp when he needs it.
For being such prehistoric music (average age of composition: 91 years), the funny thing about The Past Is Yet to Come is how, I dunno, normal it sounds. I guess all the picking we've heard over the years from the likes of Jorma Kaukonen and Ry Cooder and even Jimmy Page has set us up to hear this sort of thing as plain old guitar music.
Dan Levinson's Roof
Garden Jass Band
Blue Roses of Far and Near
Stomp Off
The Roof Garden Jass Band sounds much strangerironic, since the average date of composition here is 10 years later. But we're not as accustomed to clarinet-wailers, trumpet-drivers, and trombone-sliders these days as we are to guitar-ticklersespecially not when they're as unmellow as this. These guys, who specialize in meticulous re-creations of jazz so early that its name was spelled without z's, play the stuff as if it were still driving squares to lock up daughters. No lazy Southern lope here. Hard-edged, aggressive, virtuosicthis is New York music. But still beautiful: Back in its day, after all, they liked to carve flowers on skyscrapers.

Chateau Leoville Las Cases is one of the largest and oldest classified growths in the Medoc region of France. The fruit is harvested by hand. The fermentation vessels include a fascinating mix of wooden, cement and stainless steel vats. When finished the wine is pumped to the barrel cellar. Here it is transferred into oak barrique, between 50% and 100% new for the grand vin, depending on the vintage.
Incredible nose of crushed berry, licorice, violets and lightly toasted oak. Pure crème de cassis. Full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Solid. Best after 2011.
This is massive, hugely concentrated, topped with wood and intense tannins. Flavors of bitter chocolate are dominant, heavy fruits, blackberries and texture that fills the mouth with dark, dense flavors. Big in all senses.
The solidly made 2003 Leoville Las-Cases (13.2% alcohol) is a blend of 70.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17.2% Merlot, and 12.6% Cabernet Franc. In this incredibly hot vintage, the alcohol is slightly lower than achieved in 2002, a cool-climate year. While not a profound example of Las-Cases, the 2003 is muscular, deep, and full-bodied with an impressive ruby/purple color, a tight but juicy bouquet of vanilla, black cherries, crushed rocks, and flowers, a sweet attack, and moderately high tannin. Backward and fresh, displaying impeccable delineation and purity, it can be enjoyed between 2012-2023.
Full ruby-red. Plum, tar, cedar and nutty oak on the nose; less exotic than most '03s. Then massive and full on the palate; almost too big for the mouth. As silky as this is, it also possesses very good acidity for the vintage. Finishes with huge but lush tannins and superb length. The IPT here is 74, compared to 70 in 2005, and the alcohol is a tad higher, at 13.2%. A perfect vintage of Las Cases for tasters who normally find this wine too rigorous, but this still promises to be long-lived.

Dec. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Iran's Abadan refinery will raise its daily output of high-octane gasoline by almost 2 million liters (12,600 barrels) before Jan. 20, the oil ministry website Shana reported, citing Abdolreza Mehraban, managing director of Abadan Oil Refining Co.
The Persian Gulf state is working on building a new refinery complex in Abadan, which upon completion would increase daily production of 94-octane gasoline to 6 million liters, according to the report. The first phase of the expansion plan came on stream in June with a production capacity of 4.2 million liters, Shana said.
Iran is the second-largest oil producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries after Saudi Arabia. The Abadan refinery has a crude oil processing capacity of about 360,000 barrels a day, according to Bloomberg data.

Here is what I know so far. Mrs. Taylor has not voted for any tax increase, will not make irritating Robocalls and has been working on a Metra extension with Sugar Grove authorities.
She is questioning the Chairman's desire at this time to continue give raises to county dept. heads while Kane County's taxes skyrocket & we get along with less. When was the last time you got a raise? They accepted the job months ago at the old salary.
Shortly after asking questions about spending precious funds and questioning instant hires an opponent to Ms. Taylor arrived on the scene attending his first county board meeting.
What Mr. Lenert did not mention in his resume is that he donates to the Chairs campaign,gives free liability insurance to the Lauzen's campaign efforts and has a son whose law firm has several contracts for county legal services, chosen by Chairman Lauzen to represent the county board, again not mentioned.
These real facts make me uncomfortable as to the service and independence that a county board position and representation demand.
Election: Kane County Board District 5
The race for the Kane County Board District 5 Republican nomination in the March 18 General Primary Election will come down to incumbent Melisa Taylor and challenger Bill Lenert
Bill Lenert
Bill Lenert believes Kane County Board members are entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the interests and desires of the residents of Kane County.
Lenert on March 18 will seek the board's District 5 seat and the opportunity to represent its 22,000 residents.
"I would work to ensure that our taxpayers receive the best possible return on every tax dollar they spend," he said.
In order to accomplish this, Lenert, a Sugar Grove resident, said he will listen to the needs and desires of his constituents to make sure the board is utilizing its county resources in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible to improve the daily lives of its residents.
Lenert has a wife, Mary; three kids, Katie, Bill and Mike; and six grandchildren. He's been a small-business owner in Kane County for over 29 years, and has seen the way that burdensome regulations and high taxes can cripple business expansion and job growth in our community. He owns Lenert Insurance Agency in Aurora.
"I believe the same sound, fiscal principles that I have utilized personally and in my business should be implemented by our County Board to ensure responsible and proper use of our taxes," he said.
Lenert believes that being a first-time candidate for political office will provide the citizens of District 5 with a new voice on issues impacting our local community.
"I am running because I know I can be an asset to the County Board in working to make our community an even more desirable place to live and work," he said.
He also believes his business, educational (M.B.A., Illinois Benedictine University), and community leadership experience distinguish him from his opponent. Over the past 30 years, Lenert's been an active community participant, serving as co-chair of the successful 2004 West Aurora School District Referendum, co-chair of the successful 2013 Saint Katharine Drexel "Open Wide Your Hearts" building campaign, board member of the Rockford Diocese Finance Council since 2006, as well as former president of the Holy Angels School Board, and former board member of the Aurora Family Counseling Service.
"These experiences allow me to offer a fresh perspective to the County Board that is most reflective of the desires and needs of our residents," Lenert said. "My professional demeanor will make me a more effective representative in working with community leaders and our taxpayers to serve the needs of the residents of District 5."
If elected, Lenert's top three priorities will include lowering taxes, extending Metra to Sugar Grove, and promoting more jobs and better wages.
"I fully support maintaining a frozen property tax levy indefinitely," he said. "It is imperative that our County Board members continue to exercise sound fiscal management in eliminating financial waste to lessen the ever increasing tax burdens placed upon our residents."
In terms of the Metra-to-Sugar Grove project, Lenert sees the improvement of transportation as a critical component to the economic well-being of any community. And by extending Metra to Sugar Grove, he believes the citizens of District 5 will be provided with a convenient means of transportation that is lacking.
"Accomplishing this goal will connect our residents with surrounding suburbs and Chicago, making District 5 more attractive to commuters and businesses alike," he said. "In order to promote more jobs and better wages in Kane County, we must attract new businesses to our community. Having been a lifelong Kane County resident and local business owner, I have developed relationships with many successful individuals and businesses in our community. My ability to comfortably conduct myself in a professionally diplomatic manner makes me the best candidate to attract new development and business opportunities to District 5."
Lenert sees an environment of professional collaboration and mutual respect between County Board members and department directors as critical to the successful operations of the county, and believes its leaders must be able to conduct themselves in a professional and respectful manner if they wish to work together to improve the quality of life for residents.
"My business and community experiences allow me to best professionally, competently and diplomatically represent the interests of District 5," he said. "Additionally, our community leaders must make themselves available to address the needs and concerns of their constituents. If elected, my constituents can expect to be treated with the same respect and attentiveness I have provided to my insurance clients for the past 30 years. I will make every effort to promptly respond to their questions and concerns and will work to make sure their needs are properly addressed."
Lenert defines his motivation for seeking the District 5 County Board seat with a simple reason.
"I believe that my experiences as a lifelong Kane County resident and local business owner will assist the County Board in working collaboratively to improve the quality of life for all Kane County residents," he said.
Melisa Taylor
Kane County Board District 5 member Melisa Taylor sees the role of community volunteer as essential to public service.
As founder of Sugar Grove's Between Friends Food Pantry, Taylor's seen firsthand the obstacles and pain felt in families in the 5th District and elsewhere throughout Kane County.
"(That) is forefront in my mind when I take a vote or a position on issues affecting us," Taylor said. "I have worked with taxpayers to ask our assessor why she is raising our assessments when our taxes are going nowhere but up. I think about our fiscal condition when I ask difficult questions. Why can't we merge these services and make our government work more efficiently?"
As a community volunteer, Taylor became involved with educational issues while raising two daughters with her husband, Rich. Before long she was elected to serve as a trustee on the Sugar Grove Village Board.
"As I realized that our county government demanded an independent voice, free from influence, nepotism and conflicts, I moved toward consideration of a County Board seat," she said.
Elected to the County Board in fall 2010 and re-elected in 2012, Melisa has helped residents battle local flooding problems, and she's worked hard for an expanded commercial development along Randall Road. She said she wants to avoid additional costs to business owners when they want to develop in Kane County.
Taylor said the average American family statistically has $3,000 in average savings, so every penny that they give to the county as taxpayers to government, especially locally, makes the County Board's responsibility to them serious and sacred.
"Our job as County Board members is to remember that we must stand up, do the right thing and ensure that we are always aware that our allegiance is to our districts, and that our job is to work cooperatively with those on the board to ensure that our district is well represented," Taylor said.
Taylor also believes she's done her best to stay involved in district outreach activities, including volunteerism, local public service, church expansion and rebuilding. She was involved in finding an alternative building while St. Katherine's Parish was under construction, and served on the Solheim Cup Committee. She also helped the county veteran's coordinator to organize the Veteran's Honor Day at the Kane County Wall honoring service men and women.
"I enjoy staying in touch with people in the 5th District," she said.
Taylor has traveled downstate to represent her district, organized tax appeal meetings, and she's assisted in sending messages out about subdivision, village and township needs. She's also made it a priority to question "needless county waste and spending."
"I have never denied that I investigate, inquire and want to ensure that my constituents know that the money they give to their county government is being utilized for solid projects, plans, and programs, which will serve the needs of the district," Taylor said. "My investigations seek to ensure that my peers and I work cooperatively so valuable projects sought in our district are met favorably by my colleagues."
Taylor also notes that she believes she has no personal conflicts that may interfere with her decisions to represent the people in her district.
"My opponent does have clear conflicts of interest, which would arise during voting and decision making as a board member," Taylor said. "Being a childhood friend of the county chairman, a major donor for (Kane County Board Chairman Chris) Lauzen's campaigns and also his longtime insurance agent means he will likely follow his lead in any issue and vote as told to. My opponent's son also works for the law firm representing the county chairman, the County Board and the Forest Preserve, which also brings up more issues of nepotism and pay-to-play politics."
If re-elected, Taylor wants to focus on the completion of the Route 47/I-88 interchange by working as a team with local, state, federal and private entities, and she's also interested in the extension of Dauberman Road, stressing the need to re-establish communication and teamwork to explore the process and the possibility of any potential outside financing.
Taylor also wants to continue working with Metra on its Sugar Grove extension by progressing talks in order to keep the project on the forefront of the company's project list.
"If re-elected, Taylor pledges to research the issues and ask the appropriate questions, and said she supports her fellow board members to do the same.
"I pledged when I took office that I would remain vigilant in regard to needless spending, consolidate government service when needed and treat your money as if it is the last dollar available. This has not always been popular, but my resolve is to do whatever is right for my district. They are my employers, and my dedication to them is my first priority."
One Comment
Here is what I know so far. Mrs. Taylor has not voted for any tax increase, will not make irritating Robocalls and has been working on a Metra extension with Sugar Grove authorities.

Vaccine refusals are on the rise
Amid whooping cough epidemic, health officials are pushing for more inoculations
Public health officials emphasize that extensive research has debunked the connection between autism and vaccinations. They warn that some diseases, such as measles, can cause serious harm in unvaccinated children, including brain swelling and pneumonia.
This year, three children in San Diego County who were unvaccinated by choice have come down with measles, including one toddler from Solana Beach this month.
In 2008, an intentionally unvaccinated 7-year-old boy sparked the largest measles outbreak in the county in 17 years. The boy, who contracted the disease during a trip to Switzerland, attended San Diego Cooperative Charter School, where 20 percent of kindergartners that year had immunization waivers. The exemption rate there remained at 12.5 percent, last fall.
"The 2008 measles outbreak did not create a significant shift in immunization rates among our student population," said Principal Wendy Ranck-Buhr. "There are strong emotions on both sides."
Among schools with 25 or more kindergartners last year, here are the ones with more than 15 percent using immunization waivers:
- Waldorf School, 51%
- California Virtual Academy @ San Diego (Spencer Valley), 45%
- Greater San Diego Academy (Jamul-Dulzura), 39%
- Dehesa Charter School (Dehesa), 33%
- Xara Garden (Lakeside), 31%
- Julian Charter (Julian), 30%
- Chabad Hebrew Academy, 28%
- Horizon Prep, 23%
- Soille San Diego Hebrew Day, 22%
- Iowa Street School (Fallbrook), 20%
- Encinitas Country Day, 20%
- Learning Choice Academy (San Diego), 19%
- California Avenue Elementary (Vista), 17%
- Classical Academy (Escondido), 16%
Source: California Department of Public Health. (For public schools, district is shown in parentheses.)
She noted that many parents who sign waivers still partially vaccinate their children.
Schools that top the list of highest exemption rates in the county in 2009 are almost all either private or charter schools. The private Waldorf School of San Diego, where tuition ranges from $7,500 to $14,000 a year, has the highest exemption rate.
"Our parents are really educated. They are trying to make their own decisions, not being influenced by pharmaceutical companies," said Johannes Lasthaus, Waldorf's administrator.
His school, he noted, has had no outbreaks and maintains a policy of keeping sick children at home.
"It's all about people's right to choose what is right for their child and their family and really respecting people's choices, whether they choose to vaccinate or choose not to vaccinate," said Julie Joinson, Waldorf's director of admissions, speaking for herself. She noted that her daughter, 14, who has never been vaccinated, is "super healthy."
"It's not that I think that vaccinations are terrible," Joinson said. "If I lived in a third-world country with open sewage running down the streets, I would probably vaccinate my child. At this point, I really have concerns about what goes into vaccinations."
California is one of 48 states that allow nonmedical exemptions. Parents sign a form stating that "some or all immunizations are contrary to my personal beliefs." Other states, such as Wyoming and South Carolina, require notarized statements.
States with easy exemption procedures were associated with a 90 percent higher incidence of pertussis compared to states with difficult procedures, according to a 2006 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Simple Messages Increase Understanding of the Climate Change Consensus
We are pleased to announce a newly published article: Simple Messages Help Set the Record Straight about Scientific Agreement on Human-Caused Climate Change: The Results of Two Experiments.
Human-caused climate change is happening; nearly all climate scientists are convinced of this basic fact according to surveys of experts and reviews of the peer-reviewed literature. Yet, among the American public, there is widespread misunderstanding of this scientific consensus. In this paper, we report results from two experiments, conducted with national samples of American adults, that tested messages designed to convey the high level of agreement in the climate science community about human-caused climate change.

The Shale Gas Revolution: Implications for U.S. and Canadian Energy Policy and Asian Energy Security
Sep 06, 2012
North America is enjoying a greater wealth of energy resources, with new technology making it easier to extract natural gas from dense shale rock formations. This increase in supply has caused gas prices to plummet in the United States to approximately $3 per thousand cubic feet, compared to $16 per thousand cubic feet in Asia. With Asia struggling to meet its growing energy demand, countries such as China, South Korea, and Japan are looking toward North America to help diversify their energy imports. Many in the United States and Canada are interested in fulfilling Asia's need for gas in order to help diversify trade and boost the economy. Others fear that liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports will hurt North America's energy security and that LNG exports may raise domestic gas prices. NBR recently spoke with James Slutz, President and Managing Director of Global Energy Strategies LLC, to better understand this debate and the implications for U.S. energy and foreign policy.
In Mongolia, Climate Change and Mining Boom Threaten National Identity
Jul 24, 2012
Mongolia, a vast, sparsely populated country almost as large as Western Europe, is at once strikingly poor and strikingly rich. Its GDP per capita falls just below that of war-torn Iraq, and Ulan Bator has some of the worst air pollution ever recorded in a capital city. At the same time, Mongolia sits atop some of the world's largest mineral reserves, worth trillions of dollars, and its economy, already one of the world's fastest growing, could expand by a factor of six by the end of the decade as those reserves are developed.

Mediterranean Gas and Oil Discoveries Could Change the Global Energy Equation
Jul 18, 2012
Recently discovered vast reserves of natural gas and oil in the Mediterranean have the potential to alter the geopolitics of energy in the region and beyond.

Expert on energy geopolitics Emmanuel Karagiannis provides an overview of the possibilities.

96. Weapons of Mass Destruction (2003)�
If you Googled "Weapons of Mass Destruction" back in early 2003 and hit the I'm Feeling Lucky button, a British dude gamed it so the result landed on his bespoke 404 page filled with quaint jokes about what we all came to realize was pure catastrophe. Funny, but in the laughing-not-to-cry way.
97. Timothy McSweeney's Internet Tendency
Maybe it's the 19th century-ish artisan doodadery of the McSweeney's journals or maybe it's just him, but David Eggers has never seemed like an internet person. This makes it all the more surprising that, during the earliest years of the last decade, his Timothy McSweeney's Internet Tendency was one of the best, funniest and most prescient things on the web.
Even by the throw-an-Under-Construction-GIF-on-it standards of that Angelfire-y age, the site was plain—no pictures to speak of, just artfully font-ed black letters on a capacious white page—and not overly concerned with enticements of any kind. It was an unpainted nesting doll of what seemed like in-jokes and arch abstraction. Seemed like, that is, but wasn't: for all the preciousness of the presentation, the glory days of McSweeney's—which included the fully batshit and totally seminal Weekly NFL Previews written by my co-author, Jeff Johnson—were defined by premium-grade silliness that both reflected and drew from what was then a smaller, goofier, more homespun internet. In a sense, the Eggers-ian seriousness of the presentation only heightened the effect: McSweeney's Internet Tendency looked like a fancified journal, but it sounded just like the internet.—David Roth
[Editor's Note: Jeff really, really wants you to know that he had nothing to do with this entry, and wishes we'd picked the John Moe letter to Axl Rose instead.]
Our Favorite McSweeney's Pieces Ever:
"I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal."—Colin Nissan, "It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers"
"She asks me about writing profiles like this one. Is it fun? Is it interesting? Who else have I written about? Anyone famous? She isn't like the self-absorbed actresses of other days, other interviews&she's interested. In me."—Jake Tapper, "Though I Can't Be Certain, I Suspect That This Hollywood Actress I'm Interviewing May Be Entertaining Thoughts of Having Sex With Me"
"Fifty to a hundred kids of all ages wielding Sharpies arrive early each morning. They hang on the chain link fences with runny noses, cleats, and binders full of football cards, howling at the players and making outrageous demands: 'Sign my wig!' 'Tape Mannix for me!' 'Get my dad's teeth out from under the couch!' 'Reintroduce a stronger strain of Polio to France!'"—Jeff Johnson, "Weekly NFL Picks: 1999-2000"
98. Inside SoCal (2012)
Celebrity Endorsed!
Allison Williams, Girls
"I think Kyle Mooney (Todd) is a genius, and I've been obsessed
�with his work for years. But this video is just so perfect in so many ways...it always makes me laugh. I love the delivery of all of the lines, the effects, their script...absolutely everything."
99. E-mails from an Asshole
John Lindsay is the American equivalent of David Thorne, working in the trusted old medium of e-mail. On Don't Even Reply, Lindsay trawls (for our benefit) tons of online ads, just waiting for a chance to slowly troll some poor sap who is offering or in need of service, like a guy who gambled away $1200 in Atlantic City and needed a fake invoice from an auto shop. Lindsay enjoys annoying strangers so much, he got a book out of it.
100. My Drunk Kitchen (2011)
Because the only thing better than cooking drunk is watching someone else do it. And best of all, no dirty dishes.

Developing the young athlete: research panel, April 23, 2015
Is weightlifting and other resistance training dangerous for my son? Is my daughter's gymnastics causing the delay in the onset of her puberty?
Why is it so expensive for us to participate in community sport? Are the logistical and emotional hassles of being a "sport family" worth the time and trouble?
Parents whose children are enrolled in sports activities - from Little League to elite level - ask a lot of questions as they and their families get deeper into their sport.
A group of Brock University researchers have been studying the answers. They presented their findings and experiences at a panel celebrating Ontario Research Week in early April.
Bareket Falk [1], a pediatric exercise physiologist who researches the impact of exercise on children's bodies, says there's a common misconception that resistance training stunts their growth.
"During the Olympics, we see sports such as wrestling or weightlifting," she told the audience. "Usually those guys on the podium, especially the gold metal winners, are relatively short; people say it's because they're doing all this lifting."
Niagara perspective of barriers to post-secondary education, March 4, 2015
What most determines whether or not someone pursues post-secondary education is the education of his or her parents, says a new Brock University brief.
"If a student's family has no history of PSE (post-secondary education) he or she will be more likely to choose a non-university program, or not to pursue education at all after high school," says Barriers to Post-Secondary Education Perspectives from Niagara. [6]
It's a cycle that's particularly pronounced in Niagara, given the region's connection to manufacturing, says the brief's author, Kate Cassidy, who notes this is a "pivotal time" in Niagara's history.
"As I spoke with different people during the research, many were saying, 'We have a history connected to manufacturing; the grandfather went, the father went, but now they realize that that's not something that the child can do," says Cassidy. "They're trying to figure out what role their kids can play, what kind of careers, and what kind of education, they should be pursuing."
Commentary: Ebola, and what the media missed, February 23, 2015
As part of African Heritage Month, there was a "Healing through Communication Symposium" that discussed international health-care responses to Ebola in West Africa and Canada's domestic response to HIV/AIDS in Black communities. Research communications intern Holly Mohr writes this commentary on one aspect of the Ebola outbreak.
By Holly Mohr
As the dust settles following months of media coverage of the Ebola outbreak, another dimension of the story is emerging that may shine a different light on the situation.
At the height of the outbreak, media coverage focusing on the uncontainable and deadly Ebola virus generated a lot of fear. Details outlining the gruesome deaths, hazmat suits and border control policies appeared to be broadcast on every station, in every newspaper and all over social media, leading many to believe that the virus results in inevitable death.
In fact, according to global statistics contained in a Feb. 18 report [8] from the World Health Organization, more than half of those who contracted the virus survived.

Max Landis' Hypothetical 'Ghostbusters 3′ Story Goes Global
Posted on Wednesday, June 18th, 2014 by Germain Lussier
Tuesday night's story about Max Landis potentially doing a polish on Ghostbusters 3 was debunked pretty fast by the screenwriter, but it also lit a fire under his ass. In the hours since since the story broke, was debunked and then deleted, Landis revealed he obviously had been thinking about Ghostbusters 3 a lot. And since he's not going to actually be writing the screenplay, he decided to lay his ideas out on Twitter.
Landis' Ghostbusters 3 story isn't a simple passing of the torch we'd been hearing about for nearly a decade. Instead, it's a global Ghostbusting affair with franchised teams from all over the globe, one of which goes bad. It's then up to the main heroes to save the world. It would also explain who Slimer is, work in the mythology and villains of the first film, and more. In short – it sounds really awesome.

Diego Armando Maradona's last World Cup game as a player, was in 1994. Against Nigeria. So, it was fitting that his first World Cup game as a manager was against the same opponents. Maradona's playing career was controversial, but at his peak he was capable of raising above average teams to great heights, both at club level with Napoli (both their Serie A titles came with Diego at the heart) and of course at national level (Burruchaga apart, most of Argentina's 1986 side was ordinary, or past their best).

So, I'm trolling through Blender's listing of the 50 Worst Things to Ever Happen to Music, and these just jumped off the page…
#49. I have no problem with this. In fact, I think it can make most rock concerts better if used with the correct restraint (read here).
#48. Agreed. Carry on…
#42 – Scott Stapp. "Although he's rehabilitated his image in recent years by becoming an incorrigible drunk and trying to beat up 311, there's no getting around the music. The fourth-generation grunge he's peddled solo and with Creed might be harmless if it weren't swathed in quasi-religious pomposity and delivered with an arrogance that — in light of his musical, er, gifts — feels downright delusional."
This list has officially satisifed me as "entertainment." I can quit reading now, and that's a good thing…

Sean Paul ft. Konshens - Want Dem All
Artist: Sean Paul
Producer: Benny Blanco, The Cataracs
Album: Full Frequency
Avg Rating: 2.7 ( 3 votes )
For Sean Paul, women are a lot like Pokémon: you travel the world collecting as many different varieties as you can, and then they fight for you (or over you, as the case may be). In stark contrast to album lead single Other Side of Love, which found Paul pledging his fidelity to a single girl, Want Dem All treats sexual conquest as a pure numbers game. Backed by the hip-shaking boardwork of Benny Blanco and The Cataracs, the Atlantic Records signee invites all the ladies in the house to approach the stage, so he can take his pick of the litter. Kingston's own Konshens ties the cut together with a high-energy guest 16. Full Frequency is out now, via Atlantic Records.
Update: We have added the Jon J-directed visuals for Sean Paul's Want Dem All single.

Hamas in worst cash crisis since seizing Gaza
But many believe the Islamic militant movement will keep its grip because there's no one on the ground to take its place.
Hamas' main political rival, the Fatah party of West Bank-based Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, is weak here and split in Gaza among Abbas supporters and those backing his former protege, Gaza-born Mohammed Dahlan, who has lived in exile in recent years.
Many Gazans will stand by Hamas at any price. The movement has deep roots in religiously conservative Gaza and runs clinics and kindergartens it established during years underground when Fatah controlled Gaza.
Others are too afraid to express their frustration.
Hamas, with a force of more than 15,000 armed men, has tended to move swiftly to snuff out unrest.
Last month, when taxi and bus drivers staged a one-day strike over rising fuel costs, they were detained for several hours by Hamas security and only released after signing pledges not to strike again, said driver Wissam Abu Lehiyeh, 41.
"The first day we called for the strike, some people called us collaborators" with Egypt and Israel, said Abu Lehiyeh.
But Hamas also made a concession to the drivers, allowing them to raise fare prices by a few cents. With smuggled Egyptian fuel no longer coming in, motorists now pay triple for legally imported Israeli diesel and gas.
Just a year ago, Hamas' prospects seemed much brighter: The Brotherhood had risen to power through elections in Egypt, and Hamas enjoyed improved ties with regional powers Qatar and Turkey. The coup in Egypt last summer dramatically reversed Hamas' fortune.
Ahmed Yousef, an intellectual from Hamas' pragmatic wing, warned the status quo in Gaza is unsustainable. "It is no longer possible for the government institutions ... to stop the continued decline in all walks of life," Yousef wrote in an essay sent to journalists on Wednesday.
Without the Egyptian fuel, Gaza's longstanding electricity shortages have gotten even worse. On good days, power is on for eight hours and off for eight, but the rolling blackouts change to six hours on and 12 hours off when the territory's only power plant runs out of fuel, as it has done repeatedly in recent months. At the same time, many in Gaza can no longer afford to run generators.
"We are back to using candles," said Abu Ibrahim, a 40-year-old captain in the traffic police who has received less than one-third of his salary since December. He spoke on condition he be identified only by his nickname for fear of trouble with Hamas officials.
Traffic is unusually light. Some shopkeepers say they've begun turning away customers asking to buy on credit because the merchants also face rising debt.
Among the hardest hit are Gaza's thousands of unskilled laborers who lost their jobs after construction sites shut down and get only sporadic welfare payments.
In a twist of fate, tens of thousands of former civil servants in Gaza who left their jobs after the Hamas takeover continue to receive salaries from Abbas' self-rule government in the West Bank.

Accessibility is a general term used to describe the degree to which a product, device, service, or environment is available to as many people as possible. Accessibility can be viewed as the "ability to access" and possible benefit of some system or entity. Accessibility is often used to focus on people with disabilities or special needs and their right of access to entities, often through use of assistive technology. Accessibility is often abbreviated to the numeronym a11y, where the number 11 refers to the number of letters omitted. This parallels the abbreviations of internationalization and localization as i18n and l10n respectively. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Accessibility)

The Genius that was Charles James
One can hardly discuss creating formalwear without discussing Charles James. Mr. James was born in Great Britain, but worked as a designer in the US. He created both childrenswear, daywear for women, and gorgeous evening gowns. He was eccentric and idiosyncratic, at best. Although he was usually very much in need of money, he was known to turn down work because he didn't like the appearance of his possible client. He might as well have been Blanche from "Streetcar Named Desire" stating that he "always relied upon the kindness of strangers." It wasn't about work for him. He considered himself more a sculptor or architect then a clothing designer. He work was impeccable, complicated and achingly beautiful. Society women of the 30's through the 50's sought him out because of this genius.
One look at his patterns reveals the intricacy of his designs. Skirts seemed to fold over and into themselves. He often said that it was all about letting the grain to the work. The folds and graceful curves of the dresses were created by draping the fabric over the dress form, and allowing the lengthwise, crosswise and bias to form them. Mr. James was known to spend days working tirelessly on the bodice of a dress. He was unable to stop until he finished the drape. One famous example of this was his "Ribbon" dress, so named because the seamlines of the bodice and skirts were cut so thinly, they c ould have been made of ribbons.
In order to make the dresses hang properly, Mr. James built all the undergarments to support the dresses. This includes slips and petticoats. Many of his dresses included tulle underskirts, with wide horsehair braid in the hemlines to support the fullness of the skirts. The bodices were boned to create the ultra-feminine look that was popular in the Post-War period. He also used hip padding to create the fullness across the hip area that he desired.
What can we learn about formal gown construction from Mr. James? By studying his draping and construction methods, we can learn how to make both the fabric and the body appear to the pleasing proportions that a bride wants for her special day. We can learn how to build a gown that although heavy, is almost weightless to wear. We can learn to be better at our craft.

(AP) The U.N. and a leading human rights group condemned Cambodia on Thursday for failing to pay its share of costs for the U.N.-backed Khmer Rouge tribunal.
More than half the tribunal's Cambodian employees went on strike Monday to demand wages that are months overdue.
Human Rights Watch said the failure to pay salaries is a "delaying tactic" by a government led by former Khmer Rouge members.
U.N. Ambassador David Scheffer said the government has a legal obligation to pay Cambodian staffers.
Government spokesmen Phay Siphan and Ek Tha declined to comment on the allegations.
An estimated 1.7 million Cambodians died under the Khmer Rouge regime in the late 1970s from starvation, disease, forced labor and executions.
The tribunal is trying two former top leaders of the regime.
Associated Press
