Dan Coviello, a junior majoring in environmental engineering, took part in an international service trip to Antigua that was arranged by the Community Service Office and the Global Union.
Dan Coviello '13 arrived at Lehigh hoping to augment his environmental engineering studies with community service.
"I've always been dedicated to service," he says. "When I came to Lehigh, I was excited about the difference I could make in my local community and globally as well."
Coviello recently spoke at the United Nations on volunteerism and the role of young people in effecting global change.
The opportunity came about through Lehigh's United Nations Partnership, which provides students, faculty and staff with a link to the UN. Lehigh is one of the few universities recognized by the UN as a nongovernmental organization (NGO). The status enables Lehigh to send students to UN conferences and private briefings, offer UN internships at NGO offices worldwide, and host ambassadors and other UN delegates on campus.
Coviello became involved with the UN Partnership through an international service trip to Antigua arranged by the Community Service Office and the Global Union.
"Since I have a passion for the environment, we were able to set up a meeting with the Environmental Awareness Group, the sole environmental NGO in Antigua," he says. "We're helping them become accredited with the UN so they can access more resources."
A journey that began with the Boy Scouts
Because of Coviello's work with Engineers Without Borders and the Community Service Office, he was invited by the UN to speak as a panelist in a briefing called Our Year, Our Voice: From IYY to IYV+10 – Young People Building Partnerships and Promoting Dialogue.
"I talked about my journey into the service world, which started with Boy Scouts and the values I learned from my parents," says Coviello. "At Lehigh, I've been able to put them into action through the campus network of service organizations.
"The message I tried to convey was that even young people can make a difference and create change. By harnessing the power of youth, the UN can reach a sector of the population that is currently untapped."
After his speech, Coviello was invited to Germany for the United Nations Conference for Non-Governmental Organizations on sustainable development and volunteerism.
"The dual theme was a perfect marriage of my passions—environmental engineering and community service," he says. "This gave me an opportunity to work with youth from around the world to solve global problems."
A well-equipped engineer
Lehigh has equipped him with solid fundamentals in environmental engineering, says Coviello, while helping him develop the intangible skills of leadership, collaboration, persuasion and effective communication.
"At Lehigh, you learn not only computational and problem-solving skills but also how to work on cross-disciplinary teams to solve problems."
This, he says, prepares students for international endeavors.
"You can't just go into another country and engineer a solution. You have to be able to speak to people to find out what their needs are and how you can best meet them."
Coviello is grateful to Lehigh for helping him follow his passions.
"By coming to Lehigh and studying engineering, all of these opportunities have been made possible."

Posted on Monday, January 23, 2012
Lehigh's NGO status with the United Nations enabled Coviello to give a talk about volunteerism to a UN delegation that included Flavia Pansieri, executive director of UN Volunteers.

HP Agent
I have a HP Pavilion a820n with windows XP. Every time I boot up updates from " HP Agent " starts running. What is it, where do I find it, and how do I stop it from running every time I boot up?
Re: HP Agent
Check to see if it's part of the boot process. Go to Start-Run-type in msconfig-select the Startup tab-and uncheck the box next to HP Agent.
Re: HP Agent
when I tried to uncheck the box per your instructions i got a message in a window labeled:
system configuration
an access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You may need to logon using an administrator account to make specified changes.
I am the only person using this computer. What is an administrator account?
Re: HP Agent[ Edited ]
03-27-2010 09:48 AM - edited 03-27-2010 09:48 AM
Although you may be the only one using that computer, you might have set your account differently. An Administrator of an account has priviliges for everything on a computer. You can easily set your account to be the Administrator. If you need help to change the account settings, let me know and I'll help you as best as I can.
Re: HP Agent
Sorry for the delay in my response I live in the northeast and I was flooded due to the excessive rains. Yes i would like help in not being an administrator I have no need for this. Then I can enter the msconfig and fix the problem.
Re: HP Agent
I know how you feel. I live in the Northeast as well and had flooding issues.
What version of Windows are you using?
There are 2 options:
- Go to Start, Control Panel, User Accounts, and click on the account you are currently using. Does it say that you are an Administrator? If so, try my next option.
- Go to Start, Control Panel, User Accounts, and click on Create a new account. Set up a new account as an Adminstrator.
Let me know if this works. If not, I will tell you more things to try.

In a bid to stall a contempt vote against Attorney General Eric Holder, President Barack Obama on Wednesday invoked executive privilege to withhold documents and communications related to the failed gun enforcement operation known as Fast and Furious.
An investigation by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has Holder on the verge of being held in contempt of Congress for not turning over all documents investigators feel are pertinent to the operation.
On Tuesday, Holder sent a letter to Obama claiming that a release of the documents "would raise substantial separation of powers concerns and potentially create an imbalance in the relationship" between the Legislative and Executive branches.
Obama has never used executive privilege during his Presidency, but it has been used throughout U.S. history to preserve the confidentiality of information in the face of legislative inquiries.
Committee Chairman Representative Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said the White House use of executive privilege "falls short" of any reason to delay the contempt hearing and, after the President's assertion, the committee moved ahead with discussion of the contempt citation.
Republicans say Obama's move is proof that the White House has something to hide regarding Fast and Furious.

Its a hot night in the barracks so Drew Sebastian strips naked and kicks back to jack and wait for a buddy to come slurp on his foot-long cock. Jordano Santoro catches Drew in the act and cant resist getting on his knees to swallow Drews huge pierced monster. Jordano gags on Drews cock then bends him over to explore his hairy butthole. He pulls on his black latest gloves and lubes up Drews manhole so he can shove his fist up his ass. This is not Drews first time bent over a barrel; he opens his hole and takes Jordanos fist like a pro then pushes out a bright red rosebud.

COLUMBIA CITY — Despite the outbreak of fungal meningitis affecting clinics in Indiana, Whitley County remains in the clear. Cases of illnesses and deaths are soon expected to take a drastic downward spiral.
According to Whitley County Health Officer Dr. Lisa Hatcher, three lots of contaminated methylprednisolone acetate, a steroid prepared by the New England Compounding Center (NECC), of Framingham, Mass. was the cause of several cases affecting a total of 18 states.
COLUMBIA CITY — Area high school students morphed into zombies Saturday to converge on Paige's Crossing for Columbia City High School's zombie prom, sponsored by CCHS show choirs.
The dancing dead ate zombie-themed foods such as blood punch, flayed-skin cheeseball and bandaged big toes.
Candace Lemke, a show choir parent, coordinated the food. She said, "The food is zombie inspired. It's all in good fun. It may sound gross, but it tastes good."
The event was a fundraiser for the choir program and was open to all CCHS and Eagle Tech Academy students and their guests.

RE: Bode & Johnson photos
Thank you Nancy, Happy Easter to you as well!
I had a lot more photos from yesterday, but it seems another find-a-grave contributor has been busy in the same cemetery, same section this week! So I only submitted maybe 10% of them -- but I did update the plot information for all of the memorials! :-) Luckily the plot information edits are easy to process and hopefully not too annoying..
My checklist for when I'm taking photos is getting longer -- I whisk off every stone (oh my aching back!!), watch for my toes, watch for reflections, watch for shadows, and try to get all of my lines straight. And the little camera I'm using is doing a great job.

Frank James Verduin
Hi there,
I posted a picture of a gravestone for a Leoda Verduin in which the grave for her has Frank James Verduin on the grave as well. I'm thinking that is because he is the husband and not John Verduin?? Am I wrong?? The link to Leoda says that John is the husband.

Colyn in Evergreen Cem. Everett
Hi Nancy- I am working on Block 17 in Evergreen Cemetery in Everett, Washington, and uncovering many markers that were covered over. This block holds many burials for infants and children. I have found two Colyn burials and the lot owner was Cornelius Colyn. I don't have birth dates, but the lot books show burials for infants/children on 01 Feb 1940 and 22 Jan 1927. These two Colyn children are buried in lot 307.
Do you know anything about these two babies, by any chance? I don't know if Cornelius is the father, but am attempting to identify them.
Thanks for any info you might have.
Edmonds, WA

After watching this, you must agree that he is one of the best billiards players of all time. If you haven't played snooker before, take my word for it that it is a lot tougher than pool. The table is bigger, the balls are smaller, and the pockets are much smaller and tougher. The video is linked under NV A.19 (http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~dga/pool/normal_videos/new/NVA-19.htm).

NHRMC Zimmer Cancer Center and Coastal Carolina Radiation Oncology Receive $1.5 Million Grant from the National Cancer Institute
WILMINGTON – New Hanover Regional Medical Center's
Zimmer Cancer Center
and Coastal Carolina Radiation Oncology have been awarded a $1.58 million grant over the next three years from the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health. The purpose of the grant, called "Advancing Clinical Trials in Coastal North Carolina," is to involve the community in more
clinical trials
aimed at cancer prevention, treatment and disease management. The grant also names the partnership between NHRMC Zimmer Cancer Center and Coastal Carolina Radiation Oncology as a Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP), one of only two in North Carolina. This designation is given to the top community cancer programs in the country and allows programs within the CCOP network to have access to more clinical trials than may have otherwise been available. "Cancer care is improved through clinical trials. This grant gives us the opportunity to involve more people in those trials, so we can decrease the burden of cancer on the population," said
Patrick Maguire, MD
, a radiation oncologist with Coastal Carolina Radiation Oncology and the principal investigator for the grant. "The National Cancer Institute has awarded us this grant as recognition of the abilities and expertise of the medical community right here in Wilmington. That says a lot about the relationships among the providers in our area." Because part of the focus of this grant is cancer prevention, a larger number of people in southeastern North Carolina will be able to participate. Some of the clinical trials that will be available through this grant focus on preventing cancer prior to diagnosis, and are open to the general public. This means that clinicians at the Zimmer Cancer Center and Coastal Carolina Radiation Oncology will be able to partner with other physicians in the area, such as primary care physicians and gynecologists, to identify patients who may be at risk, even if they are never diagnosed with cancer. If the patients are willing to participate and an appropriate clinical trial is open at the time, they could then be enrolled in one of these studies. "Through this grant, we will have additional resources to focus more on cancer prevention trials for those individuals that are at a higher risk for getting cancer," said
Cyrus Kotwall, MD
, surgical oncologist and medical director of the NHRMC Zimmer Cancer Center. "Because of these trials, we will hopefully move closer to the ultimate goal of being able to prevent certain cancers in the future. It is a wonderful grant for the community, allowing our patients to benefit from the latest cancer treatments, right here in our own community." Another goal of this grant is to involve more patients in clinical trials aimed at increasing the quality of life for those already diagnosed with cancer. Some of the trials that will be available focus on managing symptoms during treatment. In addition, Zimmer Cancer Center will continue to offer clinical trials that test and validate the latest interventions against cancer. "By partnering with providers throughout the region to enroll patients who are interested in participating in these clinical trials, we will be taking a huge step toward improving the future of cancer medicine," said Lynette Racco, manager of the cancer research program at the NHRMC Zimmer Cancer Center and manager of operations for this grant. "Not only will we be helping to reduce the incidence of cancer for future generations in our own community, but our work can help move cancer research forward on a national level."

Interracial Relationships in the 21st Century is an edited book that features chapters by leading scholars who study race, ethnicity, sexuality, and relationships. This second edition of the book features a new chapter that analyzes the most recent data on interracial marriages and multi-racial identity gathered in the 2010 US Census. The new first chapter also explores the impact of the election of the first African American president, Barack Obama, on the racial climate in the United States. Specifically, we explore the degree to which his election signals or establishes a post-racial America, a site of contested terrain among scholars as well as public commentators and intellectuals. The second edition of the book retains all of the original chapters that explore such topics as the relationship between religious beliefs and interracial marriage, interracial relationships among same-sex couples, the experiences of multi-racial children, intimate partner violence and interracial relationships, racial identity, and the marriage climate.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a South Florida man nearly drowned after jumping into a storm drain seeking a woman's dropped keys — fortified first by chugging a bottle of rum to keep warm.
Miami Beach police say 49-year-old Richard Brandenberg told the woman Tuesday that he had experience working in sewer systems and was willing to go in and look for her keys. Witnesses say Brandenberg then drank a half-pint of rum and smoked a cigarette, telling them it was to keep warm in the cold water.
Police say Brandenberg went down twice, emerging each time to have another smoke. He didn't come back up on the third try, and witnesses called 911.
Authorities found Brandenberg by popping a nearby manhole cover, then performed CPR to revive him. Brandenberg is recovering at a local hospital.

There's probably a great explanation why the window frames in the almost 30 new windows we've installed for this house are narrower than the house walls, I just don't know what it is.

What We Learn From Literature
Undoubtedly one of the leading philosophers of art at work today, Gregory Currie is currently a professor of philosophy at the University of York, following previous appointments in New Zealand, Australia, and elsewhere in the UK. His published work covers a wide range of topics in aesthetics - fiction, art, cinema, narratives as well as issues in philosophy of mind and cognition. His books include An Ontology of Art (1989), The Nature of Fiction (2008), Recreative Minds: Imagination in Philosophy and Psychology (2003) (co-written with Ian Ravenscroft), Arts and Minds (2005), and most recently Narratives and Narrators: A Philosophy of Stories (2012). Educated at the London School of Economics and the University of California, Berkeley, Currie is Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities, and has held fellowships at Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford and the Australian National University. He also serves as an editor for the journal Mind and Language.
Currently at work on a project on Literature as an Object of Knowledge, Currie published a piece in The New York Times in June expressing skepticism about whether engagement with great works of literature can make us morally better people. As he there argued, there is surprisingly little evidence to support the commonly held view that literature is a force for good, i.e., that it can enhance our moral sensitivity. Moreover, Currie rejects arguments that great literature can turn us into moral experts by showing that such arguments rely on a mistaken notion of expertise. His talk at the Athenaeum, entitled What we learn from literature, will pick up on these themes.

The Small, Still Voice of the Past: How Memory Studies Changed Historical Truth in China, and Beyond
Vera Schwarcz is an acclaimed historian and poet whose work combines poetry and history to explore and understand the past. Her latest book, Ancestral Intelligence, depicts the cultural landscape of contemporary China. By comparing classic and modern Chinese poetry, Schwarcz shows a degradation of culture and humanity in Chinese history. It focuses on the work of mid 20th Century dissident poet Chen Yinke, and provides a biographical, historical, linguistic, and poetic interpretation of his work. Yibing Huang, poet and professor of Chinese at Connecticut College, says that Vera Schwarcz Proves that a poet and a historian are one and the same: both must work against the flow of time and revive buried voices. Schwarcz has made the quest for remembrance a central theme in all of her works, and by combining history and poetry she offers unique and meaningful scholarly interpretations on this subject.
Vera Schwarz pursued degrees in East Asian studies and history at Vassar, Yale, and Stanford, and was a member of the first group of exchange scholars to be sent to China in the spring of 1979. Her work has been nominated for the National Jewish Book Award, and she is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. Schwarz is the Freeman Professor of East Asian Studies and director of the Freeman Center for East Asian Studies at Wesleyan University.

For centuries prior to World War II, Poland had been an epicenter of European Jewish life. Not only was Polands Jewish population nearly extinguished during the Holocaust, but in the subsequent decades of communist rule it was taboo to discuss any of the countrys rich Jewish history. It wasnt until recently that Poles and Jews began to honestly examine their entwined history. In her memoir, Steinman returns to a small Polish town where her family lived for generations, and becomes a witness and participant in Polands reawakening to its Jewish past. This important book captures the blossoming of a vital new era of Polish-Jewish reconciliation.
Steinman is a writer and literary curator, and her work often deals with memory, history, and reconciliation. In 2002 she wrote the acclaimed memoir The Souvenir: A Daughter Discovers Her Fathers War, and illuminates how war changed one generation and shaped another. Her first book, The Knowing Body: The Artist As Storyteller in Contemporary Performance (1995), is a critically acclaimed study of the performing arts. Her articles and essays have appeared in prominent national publications such as The New York Times and Washington Post.
The Athenaeum series Jewish Renewal in Poland is jointly sponsored by Hillel of the Claremont Colleges. The final event of this series will be the Ger Mandolin Orchestra on Tuesday, November 12th.
White Teeth tells the story of three ethnically diverse families living in contemporary London. The book won a variety of awards and prizes, including but not limited to: the Guardian First Book Award, the Whitbread First Novel Award, the Commonwealth Writers Prize, and two BT Ethnic and Multicultural Media Awards.

Zadie Smith's second novel, The Autograph Man, published in 2002, is a story of loss, obsession and the nature of celebrity. The novel won the 2003 Jewish Quarterly Literary Prize for Fiction. Her third novel, On Beauty, was published in 2005, and won the 2006 Orange Prize for Fiction. She also wrote a nonfiction book in 2006 about writing entitled Fail Better. Her book of essays, Changing My Mind: Occasional Essays, came out in 2009.
In her latest novel, NW (2012), Smith writes on four locals living in northwest London as they struggle to navigate the city and create adult lives outside of the council estate of their childhood. NW was named as one of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2012. According to NPR, the book offers a nuanced, disturbing exploration of the boundaries, some porous, some impenetrable, between people living cheek by jowl in urban centers where the widening gap between haves and have-nots has created chasms into which we're all in danger of falling."
Zadie Smith is currently a tenured professor of Creative Writing at New York University and her visit to CMC is sponsored by the Athenaeum and the Gould Center of Humanistic Studies.

Hirshleifer has published more than 50 papers, several of which have won research awards, including the Smith Breeden Award for outstanding paper in the Journal of Finance. He helped develop the field of behavioral finance, with an emphasis on the psychological basis for market under - and overreactions, and has also worked in the areas of corporate finance and investments. Some of his recent research has been on psychology in firms and markets, social transmission of investment ideas and behavior, and the effect of emotions on stock prices. He research also covers such topics as risk management, determinants of futures prices, social interactions and markets, fads and fashions in economic decisions, and how psychological bias affects political and regulatory decisions.
The study of social interactions is the greatest remaining underexplored continent in economics and finance. Some basic steps forward have been the empirical documentation that people are influenced by the behavior of others in their investment decisions, and theoretical modeling of herding/cascading and how information and behaviors spread along social networks. A crucial new direction is to explore the transmission biases that cause some ideas to spread at the expense of others, and thereby to affect economic decisions. This leads to such questions as: What are the characteristics that help an idea win in the competition for investor attention? How do transmission biases affect savings and risk-taking? How do religion and moral attitudes affect financial decision-making? What causes certain speculative investments, such as a hot tech-IPO, spread through the population like wildfire, and for interest to cool? What causes more general financial ideologies such as value versus growth investing, to evolve and spread? What causes long-run shifts in the popularity of different money management vehicles, such as mutual funds, ETFs, and hedge funds? Modeling the social transmission of investing ideas promises to address such questions, and to explain a number of stylized facts about investor behavior and security prices. Furthermore, lags in social transmission promise to provide a microfoundation for understanding fluctuations in investor sentiment, and market bubbles and crashes. Social finance therefore promises to be a worthy descendant and successor to behavioral finance.
David Hirshleifer's visit is sponsored by the Financial Economics Institute.

By Rob Reiten from USA on 2011-04-07 16:52:38Things I liked:Fits my AGM l96 spring sniper with some work. It does not fit it right away so i had to file off the part where the bottom rail meets the gun for like half an hour. If then fit well bit stll another problem. The pin was to skinny so i had to wrap in in some painters tape. Now it fits perfectly
Things I would have changed:specify that it does not fit an AGM l96
What others should know:Dont use it wth an AGM l96 unless you have a file and some tape

The prize will be awarded in early 2008. In the meantime, we'd love to hear from those folks who've heard these albums and have some thoughts on their merits in our Comments Section.
They should call this the lamelist...
or not...
I only see 8 and a half good artists on this list: Serj, Bird and the Bee, PJ Harvey, Iron and Wine, Feist, Eddie Vedder, Blonde Redhead, Bjork, with my half being Bad Religion since there only good album was Generator which came out in '91 I hink. I hope this "story" gets alot of comments.
MIA is so overrated it's comical. Unlistenable.
Against Me!--spin's album of the year so you know it's garbage. According to Spin it's better than either amy Winehouse or Iron and Wine's album? B.S.
Gogol Bordello, Arcade Fire, Spoon, Wilco are media darlings that can do no wrong exceot for the fact that they suck.
Puscifer was the most dissapointing album of the year.
The Hives--I wondered what happened to these guys. remember them? They were going to "save" rock n roll back 6 or 7 years ago. Woops.
Peter Bjorn and whoever, and Kings of Leon are boring and irrelevant.
LCD Soundsystem----you'd swear this guy was Moby, Fatboy Slim, and DJ Shadow all of which are 100 times better than this noise. what a poseur.
The Rest----never heard of them.
where are The Shins?
Ugh...I thought this was JAMbase. Most of these bands hardly know the meaning of jamming.
Liberals thank you so much for insight on bands you admit knowing nothing about, pretty credible source.
wilco is awesome, i love sky blue sky
the lack of jambands on that list is quite disturbing consitering they are the ones making the majority of the groovy music you hear today. Where the hell is Umphreys McGee?!
I, too, would rather listen to Umphrey's and the jambands instead of most, if not all, of these groups. Most of these bands (besides Iron and Wine and a few others) are heavy on style and studio production, which is fine, but not really my bag. Whatever happened to that deep pocket of groovilicious funk? I guess I always enjoyed dancing rather than standing still.
No moe.? The Conch was a sick album!
There's a lot of amazing music on here, some of the best Rock music of our time. I find it hard to believe, though, that Neon Bible, Sky Blue Sky, GaGaGaGaGa, and a couple others sold less than 500k copies. Is that a very large number? What kind of albums DID sell that many in '07?

My son is in 1st grade and teaching him to read has been a challenge. Our process goes something like this:
My son begins to read while moving his legs and moving his body in some weird position: "The dog and cat run ____". I don't know the word, tell me.
Me: Sound it out.
My son proceeds to wiggle his body really fast and whine saying "no! I can't do it!".
Me: I ask him again to sound the word out. I ask what does the first letter sound make.
My son: He sounds out each individual word and complains saying he doesn't get it while he is still wiggling around.
Me: I tell him to please stay seated.
Eventually, he either gets the word or I tell him the word. It's a battle many nights because it can be difficult and frustrating when he himself gets frustrated if he doesn't know a word immediately. Does this sound familiar to you?
I always thought there was some magic formula that would help my son to read. I don't know what the magic formula is, but I do know patience and consistency is the key.
Beginning Reading Tips
- First and foremost, I highly suggest you have your child's vision evaluated every year. In May of 2012, my son passed his regular eye checkup at the pediatrician's office. In May 2013, his vision was 20/50. I took him to the optometrist, and now he wears glasses full time at school. My gut tells me his vision was not 20/20 at the visit in 2012. I had no idea he needed glasses, so just because your child seems fine, doesn't mean his vision is perfect. A child doesn't know any different because that is what he or she is accustomed to. I feel very bad about this because I think it may have contributed to his problems at school.
- Pick the correct reading book level: If you pick a book to hard, your child will get very frustrated. Although the goal is to increase reading level, if you start higher than your child's ability, he will feel lost confidence.
- Each time your child correctly completes a page by himself or reads a word that has been difficult for him, "go crazy!" in the words of Yo Gabba Gabba. You know when your child learns to pee in the potty and you jump up and down and act silly congratulating your child? This actually works with my son.
- Make a list of the words your child doesn't recognize or know. Play "Roll a sight word" with the words your child doesn't know.
- Pick a quiet place to read the book. Turn the TV off. Don't let your other children distract your child while reading (which has been a problem in this house!).
- Use computer games to help (check resources below).
- Try to read to your child every day!
Teaching Kids with ADHD how to read resources:
- A few months ago, I purchased the eBook I Can Teach My Child to Read: A 10-Step Guide for Parents. This is an excellent eBook. The author is the blogger at ICanTeachMyChild.com. It's fairly inexpensive and easy to read.
- Teaching Children with ADHD PDF
- PBS Kids
- Starfall is a great website that my son's Kindergarten teacher recommended. We used this website regularly in the summer.
- Some parents have had success with Hooked on Phonics. I have not personally tried it though, but I am interested in hearing reader's opinions on this program.
- Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons has over 900 positive reviews on Amazon. Many parents believe this book was helpful.

MME is DIY Hip-Hop Fueled by St. Louis Pride
Ciej (Charles Jacobs)
I make music because... I get bored and there's not too many other things I wanna spend my short amount of time here on planet Earth doing I guess. I don't know man.
I'm most inspired by... women. Women are something else man. Out of all the music I create, I'm most sensitive about sounds that I create directed towards the woman. I can't too much dig anything deeper than I dig a woman. In fact, sometimes it's irritating how much I dig women. A woman's emotional nature, the softness of a woman's skin (good lordy!), when a woman is curious, when a woman is smart, beautiful and flawlessly put together, but most of all when a woman receives you. When a woman 100% receives you, that's one of the most beautiful things I ever did experience.
I strive to make beautiful music, so I strive to entail the beauty of a woman alongside the artwork that I produce. Yup, but other than that I'm super inspired by being tight as fuck. I'm not trying to have nobody fucking with me on this art shit yo.
The St. Louis music scene could use... more magic. There is a lot of creativity, there is a lot of skill, there is a lot of drive in the numerous artists that I've come across on the scene, but there's not that much magic. I'm talking magic like how Black Spade can get on stage with a laptop, a pad, and a microphone and not do anything too extravagant. He can just look up a beat that he likes, press play and rap to it. But the impressive thing about his stage presence is his ability to vibe with the crowd super hard in effortless manner. I mean damn. There's magic in his music already, but when it's performed, people can't do nothing but feel that shit. He's a big influence on my approach to music.
Or even magic like Jeffrey Hill Jr., the Kansas City drummer from the Franco-Hill duo. I've seen a bunch of good drummers. I've heard drummers that are technically sound and never miss beats. I've seen drummers flip sticks, catch 'em and do a lot of cool tricks, but you don't run across too many people that can feel out a drum like the homie Jeff. He's got the magic. I dare someone to watch that man drum and not feel those rhythms man. I dare someone to watch Jeff drum and sit still the entire time. I dare you. The magic is an essential thing people. But then again, I guess it wouldn't be magic if everyone had it... So I guess I take that all back.
What I like most about St. Louis is... the river with the dead cops in it. It's a really nice river.
The best post-show food in St. Louis is... Steak 'n Shake. I do not like Steak 'n Shake. The food is just, nope. And please don't get me started on the wooden tooth picks they've disguised as "french fries." The greased out steak burgers aren't the most satisfactory edible creations known to man neither. I mean, I don't like Steak 'n Fake. I just don't, but I order the food anyway. Why? Good question. I have an answer.
When the team and I do shows, we don't get the most profit from them. I just charge it to the game and stay humbled. After all, we are still paying dues. And for people to enjoy what we do enough to call on us and rock their shows with them out of the billions of other musical artists in St. Louis is very gratifying. But the thing is, we as a collective put so much into and behind this art we produce, that it's not often that all of us can come together at once with enough money in our pockets as individuals to pay for what we eat on our own. We'd gladly cover for our brothers, no problem, but still, who takes pride in mooching ever? That's where the shows come in.
Now as i've mentioned before, these shows aren't really paying us enough to pay off any bills, car notes or expenses of the like just yet, BUT what they do offer is just enough bank for everyone in the collective that hit the stage to order whatever meal they'd like on the Steak 'n Shake menu. For just a moment, the entire group can come together and humbly enjoy a meal that they've worked hard to earn, on the same night, at the same time. To me, it feels like Thanksgiving. Shit. Better than Thanksgiving. It freaks me out man. These moments heavily out balance the taste of wood chips and grease on a bun any day. And since Steak 'n Shake is one of the few spots open at almost all hours around the clock, the choice on places to indulge in not so healthy dining endeavors is limited. And that is why Steak 'n Shake has the very best post-show food in St. Louis.

Accessibilty Tip:
LABEL Your Form Elements
by Larisa Thomason,
Senior Web Analyst,
NetMechanic, Inc.
Most people can quickly glance at a form and understand how and where to enter information like name, address, and credit card number. But how easy is it to understand a form when you can only hear, not see it? Fortunately, there's a handy HTML tag you can add to your form elements to make forms easier for visitors with disabilities.
Many Forms Can Be Seen But Not Heard
The adage that "children should be seen and not heard" certainly doesn't apply to online forms! Visitors using assistive technologies like screen readers rely on you to create forms that can be heard as well as seen.
In our October 2002 Accessibility Tip: Designing Accessible Forms, we discussed how difficult it can be for a screen reader to verbally render a form designed using a table structure.
Most screen readers and speech-enabled browsers read the cells in the order they're included in the HTML code. That means a form designed without accessibility in mind may sound something like this when the screen reader interprets it:
But proper table design isn't the only consideration. Even a careful table and form layout can be confusing for some users if the form controls aren't clearly labeled.
Add The LABEL Element
Labeling a form control means more than just making sure the text that appears on the Web page is clear. It also means that you've used the LABEL element to clearly mark and describe what type of information you want the visitor to enter into each form control.
A little background information: A "form control" is a fancy term for a text box, checkbox, radio button, or any element in a form that allows the user to enter information or submit the form.
The LABEL element is an "explicit label" for the form control. By explicit, we mean that you're specifically providing information about each form element. Each form control should have its own LABEL. Add the FOR attribute to tie the LABEL to the form control's ID attribute.
For example, here's the code for a simple form using the LABEL element:
Note that we didn't add a LABEL attribute for the SUBMIT button. That's because screen readers read the text that's on the button. That's a handy feature, but does mean that you need to clearly define the button's use. A button with text like "Submit" or "Send" is fine. Try to avoid more oblique values like "Tell Us!" or "Done!"
You can also add the ACCESSKEY attribute to your LABEL element and make keyboard navigation easier for visitors.
Other Considerations With LABEL
Always place the LABEL element immediately before or after the form control related to it. Although it's not a good idea, you could create a LABEL like this for a table inside a form:
First, you have nesting problems and HTML Toolbox would probably alert you that your tags aren't closed properly. But even more important, you've created an "implicit" LABEL instead of an explicit one.
The screen reader may not read the label correctly because of the coding error. Remember that a screen reader is basically a text browser - just like a search engine spider - and coding errors cause problems. Also, you've separated the LABEL from its form control with an extra comment on how to get a free email address.
Although it would be absolutely clear to someone who could see the form, someone listening to it would have a harder time understanding what's expected.
Good Forms Help You And Your Visitors
The LABEL element does two things: it makes forms more understandable and more usable for visitors with disabilities.
All customers want Web applications to be fast, easy to use, and understandable. Visitors with disabilities are a large loyal market. Remember: they don't just expect ease of use, they require it in order to buy from you! When they have a good experience, you gain a repeat customer who will likely refer even more visitors your way.
