S U, your definition of devastation in Oregon is 30 years removed from today's forest practices. Clearcutting old growth is not happening now or after this plan is implemented.
Or you can replant to approximate the prior diversity.
More spin from E.J. He knows the left wrote the book on judicial activism. Since the 2200 page ACA was passed without study by legislators incapable of independent thought we can only hope that the SCOTUS actually reads and then edits the document down to a few relevant pages that will benefit Americans in a cost effective, common sense, and constitutional manner.
MC, my point is that this story describes business practices that have been illegal in mainstream agriculture for almost thirty years. I-9 and W-4 forms are mandatory prior to employment. Payroll records and the resultant tax deposits are mandatory. Carrying workmans comp is also required. Each pay period the employee must receive a report detailing gross wages, detailed withholding records and net pay. The employee usually receives this info on his or her check stub. Do you really think Bowman is using a magic marker to detail the requirements on a baggie? The payroll record must also prove that the employee makes at least minimum wage. After year end the employer in required to supply the employee, the IRS, and the State with a W-2 form detailing the employees compensation. Paying cash "under the table", "winos with fortified wine" and users with weed doesn't meet the current standards if they are applied equally to all employers.
Anyone else think Bowman's payroll history is lost in space. Or up in smoke? Wonder who his workmans comp carrier is? Is he progressive enough to provide medical insurance or other benefits for his employees? The lunch does sound good, But I wonder how his commercial kitchen scored when it was inspected? Oh, maybe it wasn't. Maybe there is some kind of "slacker exemption" for pot centered businesses.
Right on, a BOLI audit will definitely be a reality check.
I didn't realized that abortion is now a public service on par with education and transportation infrastructure. Maybe the public should pay for my ammunition I need to terminate unwanted and inconvenient varmints for farmers in rural Washington County.
In the 60s and 70s peak oil, energy shortages in general, worldwide famine, nuclear holocaust, and acute shortages of clean water were all predicted for the 80s and beyond. Maybe the answer to rising sea levels is to build more dams so we have less flow to the rising sea. This would allow more acres to be irrigated to increase production of both food and biofuels along with impounding more water for municipal uses. More acres green and growing sequester more CO2. This scenario is every bit as valid as crying wolf..... Oops, the wolves are here.
Nice comment nwokie. Haven't noticed Graybeard the Pirate and his dramatic dorks failing to save the whales under sail or solar power.
Teach to the test and attend to the contract.
What a joke!
Coyotes have replaced fox as top dog on our Tualatin Valley farms. In the 60s fox were numerous, coyotes were rare. Now we observe coyotes daily, fox almost never. The remote areas favored by the Sierra Nevada Red Fox may become wolf as well as coyote habitat. Wolf pressure on the coyote population may help the fox or it may be additional pressure on the fox.
Kinda refreshing to laugh about a politician becoming cougar bait instead of chasing jail bait.
Perfect example of progressive "divide and pander" political strategy.
Nice comment on Sundays first dose of PC spin.
Sundet's self serving power plays are putting union jobs at risk. This story shows business owners across the country the value of relocating to a right to work state. However, our public employers remain clueless.
Overpaid slackers!
Sorry, I should of taken the time to mention I drive by this residence several times a week. I'm sure my comment is accurate. Cheers.
Require the Bundys to purchase a few thousand square feet in a wetland mitigation bank. Then issue the permit with a reasonable late fee. Do the required inspections. Problem solved and the city tax base increases by about $ 100,000.

Organic Food
Organic foods are not specific foods, but are any foods that are grown and handled after harvesting in a particular way. In the United States, organic foods are crops that are raised without using synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or sewage sludge fertilizer, and they have not been altered by genetic engineering. Organic animal products come from animals that have been fed 100% organic feed and raised without the use of growth hormones or antibiotics in an environment where they have access to the outdoors. Standards for organic foods vary from country to country. The requirements in Canada and Western Europe are similar to those in the United States. Many developing countries have no standards for certifying food as "organic."
The organic food movement has the following goals:
Organic farming is the oldest method of farming. Before the 1940s, what is today called organic farming was the standard method of raising crops and animals. World War II accelerated research into new chemicals that could be used either in fighting the war or as replacements for resources that were in short supply because of their usefulness to the military. After the war ended, many of the new technological discoveries were applied to civilian uses and synthetic fertilizers, new insecticides, and herbicides became available. Fertilizers increased the yield per acre and pesticides encouraged the development of single-crop mega-farms, resulting in the consolidation of agricultural land and the decline of the family farm.
Organic farming, although only a tiny part of American agriculture, originally offered aniche(Illustration by GGS Information Services/Thomson Gale.)
market for smaller, family-style farms. In the early 1980s this method of food production began to gain popularity, especially in California, Oregon, and Washington. The first commercial organic crops were vegetables that were usually sold locally at farmers' markets and health food stores.
By the late 1980s interest in organic food had reached a level of public awareness high enough that the United States Congress took action and passed the Organic Food Production Act of 1990. This act established the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). NOSB has developed regulations and enforcement procedures for the growing and handling of all agricultural products that are labeled "organic."These regulations went into effect on October 21, 2002.
Since the 1990s, the market for organic food has expanded from primarily fruits and vegetables to eggs, dairy products, meat, poultry, and commercially processed frozen and canned foods. In 2000, for the first time, more organic food was purchased in mainstream supermarkets than in specialty food outlets. By 2005, every state had some farmland that was certified organic, and some supermarket chains had begun selling their own brand-name organic foods. The demand for organic food is expected to continue to grow rapidly through at least 2010.
Organic certification is voluntary and applies to anyone who sells more than $5,000 worth of organic produce annually. (This exempts most small farmers who sell organic produce from their own farm stands). If a product carries the USDA Organic Seal indicating that it is ''certified organic'' it must meet the following conditions:
To meet these requirements, organic farmers use natural fertilizers such as composted manure to add nutrients to the soil. They control pests by crop rotation and interplanting. Interplanting is growing several different species of plants in an alternating pattern in the same field to slow the spread of disease. Pest control is also achieved by using natural insect predators, traps, and physical barriers. If these methods do not control pests, organic farmers may apply certain non-synthetic pesticides made from substances that occur naturally in plants. Weed control is achieved by mulching, hand or mechanical weeding, the use of cover crops, and selective burning.
Selecting organic food
The USDA allows three label statements to help consumers determine if a food is organic.
Consumers may be bewildered by other words on food labels such as "natural"or "grass-fed"that may be confused with organic. Natural and organic are not interchangeable. "Natural"foods are minimally processed foods but, they are not necessarily grown or raised under the strict conditions of organic foods. "Grass-fed"indicates that the livestock were fed natural forage ("grass"), but not necessarily in open pasture or for their entire lives.
Debate continues about the exact requirements to label animal products "cage-free,""free-range,"or "open pasture." Cage-free simply means the animals were not kept caged, but does not necessarily mean that they were raised outdoors or allowed to roam freely. There is no certification process for the designation "cage-free."Animals can spend as little as five minutes per day outdoors and still be considered "free-range."Animal rights organizations are working to clarify these designations and improve the conditions under which all animals, are raised.
Organic food and health
Certified organic food requires more labor to produce, which generally makes it more expensive than non-certified food. Some consumers buy organic food primarily because the way it is raised benefits the environment. Others believe absolutely in the health benefits of organic food. A larger group of consumers are uncertain if organic food offers enough health benefits to justify the additional cost.
Discussions of the health benefits of organic food can become quite heated and emotional. Advocates of buying organic foods firmly believe that they are preserving their health by preventing their bodies from becoming receptacles for poisonous chemicals that can cause cancer, asthma, and other chronic diseases. Non-organic food buyers take the position that the level pesticide and fertilizer residue in non-organic food is small and harmless. Neither side is likely to change the other's view. However, below are some conclusions from studies done comparing organic and non-organic foods.
Individuals should be informed about food labeling requirements and read food labels carefully so that they can make informed decisions about their purchases.
Organic food does not interact with drugs or other foods in a way that is different from non-organic foods.
No complications are expected from eating organic food.
Parental concerns
Chemicals found in foods may have a greater effect on the growth and development of younger children than older ones. Young children are rapidly growing while still developing their nervous system, immune system, and other organs. Chemicals may have a greater effect on these developing tissues than on adult tissues.

The Value of Local Knowledge
We partner with local community-based organizations that share our vision, values, and mission. Our partners are the linchpin of our programs, essential to our ability to deliver the Trickle Up Spark Grant, training, and savings support to enable the very poor to create sustainable livelihoods.
Working through our local partners allows us to adapt our program to fit the needs and context of local communities. We work with 30 local organizations–grassroots and larger national agencies–in some of the poorest countries of the world: India, Guatemala & Nicaragua, and Mali & Burkina Faso.
Often, the partners we select have long been working in poverty alleviation, women's empowerment, agriculture, or other local community development issues, but have not had the capacity to serve the very poorest people in their communities. Partner staff speak the local language, are familiar with local customs, and have a trusted presence in the villages where we work.
With the training and resources we provide, our partners learn to use locally appropriate poverty selection and assessment tools and provide training to participants to start and sustain their microenterprises. A Trickle Up field office anchors each region, selecting and training staff from community-based partners to implement and monitor Trickle Up's model, while providing continuous support.

The Easter Bonnet Fashion
Why do people wear bonnets on Easter? It is said to represent the tradition of putting on new clothes on Easter Sunday as a promise of redemption and spiritual renewal. Bonnets were introduced into pop culture by Irving Berlin in his song Easter Parade. Since then, it has become an unofficial fashion requirement along 5th Avenue each year.
Tracing the tradition, bonnets are purposefully worn by women and girls on Easter services. After the religious observances comes the parade where the bonnets have obvious functionality. Easter was also the time when ladies buy fancy and usually expensive headdresses after saving money during the Lenten season.
The shops in New York City, especially in 5th Avenue are a sight to behold during the season as stores compete with each other for the best bonnets displayed on their windows. It has become a tourist attraction these days. Americans also developed a competition among friends and family members by showing off their best bonnet. Nowadays, Easter bonnets are worn regardless of age and gender. Some of the male participants of the parade are even able to pull off the best looking bonnets.
In case NYC is not so near you, you can always make your own Easter bonnet or perhaps order one online. Easter is basically a weeklong celebration so wearing those bonnets can still be trendy until next Sunday, the Octave Day of Easter.

Chanel Imperial Rouge Allure Laque Review, Photos, Swatches, Lip Swatches
Chanel Imperial Rouge Allure Laque
Chanel Imperial Rouge Allure Laque ($32.00) is the second up in our seven days of Chanel Rouge Allure Laque feature.
Imperial is a slightly warmed-up, muted red-coral. It's not quite the coral that comes to mind when I think "coral," but it's certainly not the "deep rose" that Chanel describes it as. I always find the descriptor "rose" to mean something pinky, but this has more red in it. It's like a wearable version of a red with a touch of coral. I suppose if we think of red roses, maybe this is "deep rose." I would say this is one of the harder shades to describe, because it's beautiful, but I can't find the words to aptly describe it! The shade has a dusting of slightly rosy-gold shimmer and the same glossy sheen as others in the line-up. It applies evenly without a fuss and goes on full-color right away.
Since I don't want to just re-write what I say about the formula (since it is the same–if there are any variations, you can be sure I'll call them out), here's a quick bullet-point summary.
- Satiny, creamy lip color that hydrates
- Opaque color in one layer–very pigmented
- Lasts for hours and even through eating/drinking
- Glossy sheen
- Looks like a lipstick AND a gloss
- Easy to travel with
- Sleek packaging
- Pricey at $32 each
- Product: 29/30
- Value: 8/10
- Ease of Use: 5/5
- Packaging: 4/5
Recommendation: For a more muted, but still opaque lip look, consider Imperial. Not too warm or cool, it can easily be worked into your lip wardrobe.
Availability: Nordstrom

Ti West's THE INNKEEPERS (First Look At The Theatrical Poster)
I've been impatiently waiting for more info on this flick . . .
SHOCK TILL YOU DROP: The poster for The Innkeepers snuck up on us today. Thanks to AICN, we've now got a peek at it in anticipation of the film's SXSW premiere. Ti West directed this supernatural thriller which was inspired by his stay at a Connecticut inn while shooting House of the Devil.
See the poster in hi-res right here!
For more, follow this link to our film database.
Plot Summary: The story is centered around the final two employees working in a haunted hotel before it goes out of business. After over one hundred years in business, The Yankee Pedlar Hotel is about to close its doors for good. The last remaining clerks, Claire (Sara Paxton), a twenty something that has come to terms with her lot in life, and Luke (Pat Healy), a computer-smart loner, are convinced that the hotel is haunted and are determined to prove it. As time ticks down to the final days of operation, mysterious guests check in including Leanne Rease-Jones (Kelly McGillis), a former TV actress turned psychic, and an old man insistent on staying in room 353. As several strange occurrences begin to add up, both Claire and Luke must make the crucial decision on what to believe and what not to believe...
I am a huge fan of "The Roost" and "House of the Devil" so I will definitely be checking this one out.
Oh man, that poster is a thing of beauty!! :) :) :)
I fucking love Ti West with a passion. I have everything he has ever touched on film. That dude has completely won my heart his movies are so cool! I'd love that poster framed and hanging on my wall so awesome!
This sounds very promising, and that poster friggin' rules.
Kelly McGillis though? I thought she had quit acting after turning lesbo. :nervous:
Even though I've yet to see a Ti West film that has really knocked my socks off, I think Ti has an amazing directing style, so I'm definitely checking this out, that poster is the tits.
House of the Devil was really good, I'm in for this one too.
I love House Of.... Its a amazing throwback.I have a couple of Ti's other movies on my computer, I should check out. Maybe this weekend, I for sure dug the opening to The Roost.That poster is awesome,its a shame that the HOTD one sheet is either 40 bucks or you cant find a legit one.
Very nice poster,old school,like stuff they were still doing 30 yrs ago.Much nicer than so many of the ''photo'' posters they do today.
Cool premise and cool poster. Haunted houses are one of my favorite themes in horror movies and I really loved House of the Devil. Definitely looks like something I will check out.
FANGORIA (5/12/2010): Last week, Fango spent a day on the set of Ti West's THE INNKEEPERS—which, strictly speaking, wasn't actually a set at all. The Dark Sky Films/Glass Eye Pix production is being lensed on a real location—and an apparently really haunted one too: The Yankee Pedlar Inn in Connecticut.
In fact, this writer has been invited to spend the night in one of its rooms prior to checking out a filming day, an offer no true Fangorian could resist. Upon entering, the Yankee Pedlar proves to be a charmingly old-fashioned place, one that has been in operation for over 100 years. My room is decorated with attractive Hitchcock furniture (no kidding—that's what it's called), such that the TV on the dresser almost seems like an anachronism. And when I settle in for the night and turn on the set to check out the latest episode of HAPPY TOWN, the picture is plagued by strange interference—which ends as soon as the spooky show is over and the news comes on. G-g-g-ghosts?
There are no visible signs of spectral presences, though, and I wake up the next morning with my sleep untroubled. I emerge into a building buzzing with activity, as the INNKEEPERS crew is already setting up to film in one of the rooms down the hall. Yes, film, and 35mm to boot, a rarity in a moviemaking age when most independent genre fare is going the hi-def route. West (pictured right in the Yankee Pedlar lobby) lensed his previous feature THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL in 16mm in part for the mobility the smaller medium allowed, but says later, during a break in the INNKEEPERS shoot, that he's not sacrificing this advantage by moving up.
"This is a brand new camera that's pretty small; it's about the same size as the HOUSE OF THE DEVIL camera," he explains. "That was something to think about, but I really wanted to shoot THE INNKEEPERS in 35, and in scope; I want it to look like a really big old-school, widescreen movie. Also, I shot HOUSE on 16 because it looks like an older film stock, which made it appear more '80s, whereas THE INNKEEPERS doesn't need that."
Indeed, West's script is set in the present day, and focuses on two clerks working at the Pedlar: Claire (THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT's Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy; both pictured below). The hotel is about to close down, and before it does, the duo are determined to capture definitive proof that the building is indeed haunted. As strange events start suggesting that it is, a couple of mysterious guests check in, including an old man (George Riddle) determined to stay in one particular room, and former TV star turned psychic Leanne Rease-Jones (Kelly McGillis). The first scene being filmed this morning is Claire's initial meeting with Leanne, which quickly becomes awkward as Claire begins gushing over how much she has long admired Leanne—whose reaction suggests that she has heard it all before, and couldn't care less.
It's a tense character moment in a film that, like HOUSE, aims for an inexorable build of suspense that will pay off in true horror in the final reels. No one's saying exactly what the nature of the haunting is, though Derek Curl, who's producing THE INNKEEPERS with West, Larry Fessenden and Peter Phok, reveals that it's not based on any specific legends surrounding the Pedlar (which served as West and his crew's lodgings during the HOUSE OF THE DEVIL shoot). "It's all Ti's own mythology," Curl says. "It's inspired by people's ghost stories about staying here, but he just took his own slant on all of those. I believe he did use some of his own fears while he was staying here, because he had some very specific things happen to him that he kind of expounded upon."
"Spending two months in a weird place, you just start getting ideas," West adds. "I wrote THE INNKEEPERS very quickly since I just knew it all so well, and then we called to see if I could shoot here, because if they said no, I might as well just burn the script; there was no reason do it anywhere else. They said yes, so here we are."
And in the couple of weeks they've been shooting as of this visit, the crew have experienced their share of odd occurrences. "I felt a ghost; I didn't see a ghost," Curl says. "But I'm also very sensitive to them. I was sitting in bed, and actually jumped off because I felt something push up against me. Ti had it, Sarah had it…your skin crawls for the next three hours. Things have been misplaced, doors have slammed, lights have gone on and off. I think the ghosts here really have a bathroom fetish, because they love screwing with people's bathrooms, whether it's the water coming on, the lights flickering, doors shutting…"
Nonetheless, THE INNKEEPERS' progress has not been impeded. "We're on day 10, and we've finished early every single day," West says. "We're actually ahead—so far, so good. It's weird shooting and living in the same place; I've never done that before."
yeah, house of the devil was fantastic. i have yet to see the roost, but i'd definitely be interested in this.
Funny, 'cause I have seen THE ROOST and have YET to see HOUSE OF THE DEVIL. But, THE ROOST is excellent, a nice rural take on vampires, and a couple of real, good, "Oh, fuck, did that just happen?!" moments thrown in, especially one that concerns a character's death.
At this point, I'll watch anything that Ti West makes.

Back cover copy
After kicking open the doors to twentieth-century philosophy in "Thus Spake Zarathustra, " Friedrich Nietzsche refined his ideal of the superman with the 1886 publication of "Beyond Good and Evil." Conventional morality is a sign of slavery, Nietzsche maintains, and the superman goes beyond good and evil in action, thought, and creation. Nietzsche especially targets what he calls a "slave morality" that fosters herdlike quiescence and stigmatizes the "highest human types."In this pathbreaking work, Nietzsche's philosophical and literary powers are at their height: with devastating irony and flashing wit he gleefully dynamites centuries of accumulated conventional wisdom in metaphysics, morals, and psychology, clearing a path for such twentieth-century innovators as Thomas Mann, Andre Gide, Sigmund Freud, George Bernard Shaw, Andre Malraux, and Jean-Paul Sartre, all of whom openly acknowledged their debt to him.Students of philosophy and literature as well as general readers will prize this rich sampling of Nietzsche's thought in an unabridged and inexpensive edition of one of the philosopher's most important works.Dover (1997) unabridged republication of the Helen Zimmern translation. Publisher's Introduction.

Victoria's Secret has chosen Marissa Miller as its newest Angel. Marissa, 30, joins the long line of famous Angels including Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks. Miller tells People, "It's like a dream come true. I'm so excited. It's so cool too because my sisters and my mom and I are longtime customers, so to be an Angel is pretty surreal."
Marissa, who is 5'8″ and 110 pounds claims she doesn't see herself as "Marissa Miller the model." But she states on her website: "It would be stupid to let it go to my head. It's modeling — I didn't find the cure for cancer, you know?"
Other than surfing, Marissa also states that before her busy days as a model, "There were days when I would make a pie from scratch just for fun." But, sorry guys, this domestic diva is taken. She has been married to producer Griffin Guess since 2006. [Photo: WireImage; Source: People.com]

The Yale University Library comprises three central libraries—Sterling Memorial Library, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, and Bass Library—and twelve school and department libraries and special collections. Third-largest among the university libraries in the United States, it includes more than fifteen million volumes and information in all media, ranging from ancient papyri to early printed books to electronic databases. Students have access to the physical collections and study spaces of all the libraries at Yale, as well as to a full array of online and digital resources. For additional information, please visit www.library.yale.edu.
The Irving S. Gilmore Music Library contains approximately 100,000 scores and parts for musical performance and study; 70,000 books about music; 35,000 LP recordings and compact discs; 11,600 microforms of music manuscripts and scores; 45,000 pieces of sheet music; 95,000 photographs; 4,000 linear feet of archival materials; 560 individual music manuscripts not forming a portion of a larger collection; 425 active subscriptions to music periodicals; and numerous electronic databases of books, scores, audio, and video. The collection has been designed for scholarly study and reference, as well as to meet the needs of performing musicians. Fundamental to both purposes are the great historical sets and collected editions of composers' works, of which the library possesses all significant publications. Special areas of collecting include theoretical literature of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries; chamber works of all periods for various instrumental combinations; an extensive collection of musical iconography, including 35,000 photos in the Fred Plaut Archives; the Galeazzi collection of Italian manuscripts; the manuscripts and papers of Leroy Anderson, Daniel Asia, Paul Bekker, Lehman Engel, Henry Gilbert, Benny Goodman, John Hammond, Thomas de Hartmann, Vladimir Horowitz, J. Rosamond Johnson, John Kirkpatrick, Ralph Kirkpatrick, Benjamin Lees, Goddard Lieberson, Ted Lewis, Red Norvo, Harold Rome, Carl Ruggles, E. Robert Schmitz, Franz Schreker, Robert Shaw, Kay Swift, Deems Taylor, Alec Templeton, Virgil Thomson, and Kurt Weill; the manuscripts of Leo Ornstein and Hershy Kay; and the works of noted composers formerly associated with Yale University as teachers or students. The last-named area includes the complete manuscript collection of Charles E. Ives, B.A. 1898; the collection of documents concerning Paul Hindemith's career in the United States; and the complete papers and manuscripts of David Stanley Smith, Horatio Parker, Richard Donovan, Quincy Porter, David Kraehenbuehl, Howard Boatwright, and Mel Powell. The library also houses the extensive Lowell Mason Library of Church Music, noted for its collection of early American hymn and tune books. Individual manuscript holdings include autograph manuscripts of J.S. Bach, Frederic Chopin, Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, and Franz Liszt.
Access to the Music Library's holdings is available through Orbis, the Yale library's online catalog. All of the Music Library's published scores, books, and compact discs have been entered into the Orbis database. Access to some recordings, microforms, and manuscript materials is only available in the specialized card catalogues in the Music Library lobby. Finding aids for one hundred archival collections have been entered into the Yale University Library Finding Aid Database.
The holdings of the Irving S. Gilmore Music Library are complemented by other collections in the Yale library. Chief among these is the Historical Sound Recordings collection. Historical Sound Recordings currently holds more than 250,000 rarities that date back to the very beginning of sound recording and continue up to the present day. Oral History of American Music (OHAM) collects and preserves audio and video memoirs directly in the voices of major musical figures of our time. Thousands of recordings and transcripts are currently accessible. Collections in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale, particularly the Frederick R. Koch Collection, the Speck Collection of Goethiana, the Yale Collection of American Literature, and the Osborn Collection, also hold valuable music materials.
Another resource for Institute students is the Divinity Library, containing more than 430,000 volumes. Its primary strengths are in missions, Christian doctrine, biblical literature, church history, archival materials, and papers and collections, including the Lowell Mason Collection of Hymnology. The Mason Collection was recently catalogued and made accessible to students and scholars through a grant from the Institute of Sacred Music.
The Institute of Sacred Music maintains several small collections. These include a choral lending library of more than three thousand holdings, the Clarence Dickinson Organ Library, and a slide collection pertinent to the curriculum of the Institute.
Music Facilities
The main buildings of the School of Music are Leigh Hall at 435 College Street, Hendrie Hall at 165 Elm Street, and Sprague Memorial Hall, which also houses Morse Recital Hall, at 470 College Street. The Yale University Collection of Musical Instruments, containing over 1,000 instruments, is located at 15 Hillhouse Avenue. Woolsey Hall, which contains the Newberry Memorial Organ, is used throughout the year for numerous concerts and recitals.
Marquand Chapel, at the heart of Sterling Divinity Quadrangle, is home to an E.M. Skinner organ, a Hammond B-3 electronic organ, and the Baroque-style Krigbaum Organ by Taylor & Boody. These instruments, the acoustics, and its flexible seating arrangements make Marquand Chapel a unique performance space at Yale. The instruments and practice facilities at the Institute are described in the chapter Programs of Study, under Organ.
Divinity School Facilities
The Sterling Divinity Quadrangle at 409 Prospect Street is the home of the Institute of Sacred Music. The complex also includes the Yale Divinity School, Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, the Center for Faith and Culture, Marquand Chapel, classrooms, administrative offices, the Divinity Library, dining hall, common room, and two guest lodges.
Since 1971, Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, an Episcopal seminary, has been affiliated with Yale Divinity School. Berkeley Divinity School retains its identity through its board of trustees, its dean, and the Berkeley Center located at 363 St. Ronan Street. Episcopal students come under the care of the dean of Berkeley Divinity School for spiritual formation and counseling, but are not differentiated from other Yale Divinity School students. As a result of the affiliation, there is one integrated student body and faculty.
Students in the Institute of Sacred Music are eligible to use housing and dining hall facilities at the Divinity School. Information and application forms for both single and married student housing at the Divinity School are sent after admission to the Institute has been confirmed.
The Graduate Housing Department has dormitory and apartment units for a small number of graduate and professional students. The Graduate Dormitory Office provides dormitory rooms of varying sizes and prices for single occupancy only. The Graduate Apartments Office provides unfurnished apartments consisting of efficiencies and one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments for singles and families. Both offices are located in Helen Hadley Hall, a graduate dormitory at 420 Temple Street, and have office hours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Applications for 2014–2015 are available as of April 1 online and can be submitted directly from the Web site (http://gradhousing.yale.edu). For new students at the University, a copy of the letter of acceptance from Yale will need to be submitted to the Dormitory or Apartments office. The Web site is the venue for graduate housing information and includes procedures, facility descriptions, floor plans, and rates. For more information on dormitories or apartments, contact firstname.lastname@example.com; tel., 203.432.2167; fax, 203.432.4578.
Yale Off Campus Housing is a database of rental and sale listings available to the Yale community. The system has been designed to allow incoming affiliates to the University access to the online database at http://offcampus.yale.edu. The use of your University NetID allows you immediate access to search the listings. It also allows you to set up a profile to be a roommate or search for roommates. Those without a NetID can set themselves up as guests by following the simple instructions. For answers to questions, please e-mail email@example.com or call 203.432.9756.

Simply put, the value at 30 wont be there for RG like it will be if Fleener is there or a top DE falls. There are half a dozen guards that can be had at 61.
What is wrong with Fleener/Reyes/Randle/Wright at 30 and a 2nd round RG? Why do we need to spend 30 on a guard? Are we supposed to reach and take an OG or trade back passing an impact player yet again just to get a guard in the 2nd?
How many times this decade have we passed on impact players to select a guard? Too damn many. Guards are a dime a dozen and for the majority, can be found later. #1 receivers, impact DE's or matchup nightmare TE's aren't.

'No War On Iran' Billboards up in Oklahoma City
Posted By aaron On July 15, 2012 @ 3:25 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile,World at War | Comments Disabled
July 15, 2012
Oklahoma activists from the group Americans Against the Next War (AANW) are working to prevent military action or war against Iran. The group funded three billboards, now on display in the Oklahoma City metro area, that read: "Tell Congress: No War on Iran."
A news conference was held on July 10, at the State Capitol in Oklahoma City, to announce the billboards, their locations, and present the coalition of churches, organizations and individuals that support the project.
Speakers at the event included Dr. Katherine Scheirman, Col. USAF (ret); Bob Lemon, Oklahoma City philanthropist and human rights activist; and John Scripsick, Gold Star father whose son was killed in Iraq. Director of the Peace House Nathaniel Batchelder was the event emcee.

Episode 28: The first episode of Season 2 (aka…the one you've been waiting for)
Websites and Resources Mentioned in the Show:
I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about season two. I have so many cool new things to share with you, including a couple new segments of the show…we're going to have a lot of fun.
Selling a gym membership is not the end of the sales process. The key to a successful fitness business is to learn how to make more money per member or client. But it's not always easy to do. I'll show you how.
You absolutely must be surveying your members on a regular basis. You need to know what it is that they REALLY want, and they need to know that you care enough to ask. I introduce you to a cool new survey tool that is F.R.E.E. (our favorite word!)
Unless you've been living under a rock the past year, then you understand the power of fitness giftcards. These things are literally one of the most powerful fitness marketing tools I've seen in a long long time. They are amazing.
As always your thoughts are appreciated. Please leave a comment below that will benefit the other viewers AND will get you noticed by Google. Enjoy the show!
Can you smell what the Mock is cookin?
So happy to have the show back. I missed seeing MJ smiling face at the end of every episode. The new backgrounds are awesome and I love the new segments. The image at the beginning of MJ and you is great.
I didn't mind that the show was longer since u have been off for 3 months. Glad that business has been going well for you. We miss you in FL though. It is great to have the show back.
Hey Curtis, Congrats on season 2!
It was great meeting you in Chicago. Keep up the good work.
Great show this week. I am looking forward to season 2.
Thanks for the tips on the fitness gift cards. I ordered gift cards from fitnessgiftcards.com a few months ago, and they have been a great tool for getting new personal training clients.
The new format is fantastic, 15 minutes did not seem long at all….
Great new backgrounds, really cool.
As for the FIVERR of the week, I will send you and the master minders some suggestions. I have gotten some incredible things done that have blown my mind! One of the best tips you have given us, and you have given us many!
Thanks for the recognition. We have a secret weapon named Tom that really does a lot of heavy lifting for us. He has created a record November, more then doubling last November's sales in just the first 15 days….so while you give us props, he's our hero.
Welcome back and great first season 2 show!
Great to see your smiling face….cant wait for Episode 2. Loved all the info and excited to put your ideas into place! Loved MJ and yourjokes as well.. "Stay classey San Diego!"
Great start to the new season!
I've already put in a job request at fiverr and I'm psyched to trade in my Survey Monkey account for Impressity.
Thanks Curtis!
Great Show Curtis,
We are using gift cards for everything it seems like at the club. Heck you can even sell them at a discount then have people use them toward membership or some other service. It's like someone paying you to market to them.
I love these things
So glad to have you back! Missed that smile You had great energy on this show, keep it up!
Great Show man. Awesome tips, looking forward to catching the next episode.
Enjoy Sunny San Diego,
Glad to have the show back! I forgot all about fiverr so thanks for the reminder!
We've been using plastic gift cards too and they're great! People are always impressed when we hand them out, MUCH higher perceived value…even if the magnetic strip isn't functional! haha
Looking forward to the next episode.
Cameron Makarchuk
Great episode Curtis!
The jokes have come a long way!!
Curtis! Good to have you back. Great meeting you in person Chicago too. Thanks for making learning this new stuff fun and not boring.
Two things.
1. You bit your bottom lip when you started dancing to the disco ball??? Did you not learn anything from Hitch?
2. You and MJ should start a comic book series with that new graphic. That was awesome!
Great to be on season 2.
I have talked to a lot of people that are having great return on the gift cards.
I talked to a Curves club owner yesterday that has sold 9 memberships this month and she said 4 of those 9 memberships came directly from someone bringing in a gift card to apply towards their new membership. Powerful!
Looking forward to the rest of season 2!
Hey Curtis,
Good to see you back on our screens, great epsiode, lots of cool stuff packed in there, especially liked the Mocketing Tips.
A ladies only gym client of mine is getting well stuck into your Guerrilla Marketing tips from the other day too – thanks for those!
Spreading the word,
Cheers, Guy
Great show you are the man.!!
Hey quit wiggling so much it makes me dizzy trying to watch you.. Got the Ray Charles moves going on…LOL
G'day mate! Good seeing you a few months ago in Sydney. Not sure if you remember me, you helped me set up a facebook page. I'm glad to see your video show back.
Hey Curtis,
Nice recovery! Season Two indeed. It would have been nice to know that there was a Season One – let alone that it had ended!
Obviously another great marketing ploy. Good to finally have you back.
Glad the show is back on! Thanks for the impressity.com tip. Was just about to set up survey monkey and poll our campers. Looking forward to the next show.
Thanks and enjoy your new home.
Interesting facts written on your blog, most I agree with. Recall viewing a similar blog which I will try to post. Definately will bookmark in any case I await your next thought provoking article
I smell what the Mock is cooking ….My favorite club business resource on the net…..welcome back
Awesome start to season 2! I love your content!
What should I survey my clients about? I only have 24 clients and I could just ask them in person. But if it is a good thing I will use the impressity site if you think it will help.
Great show and great guy!
Great show
Please could you tell me a bit more about the gift cards, I like the sound of it!
Hi Curtis,
Glad your back. I just thought I might mention a blog that I posted 17 ways to save money on personal training and 5 ways to get it free. If you know more free ways then that would be nice to post some more there.

Can eBay "Auction Off" Google?

eBay wants to auction anything and everything, and now it's using its auction technology to create an efficient ad sales system to compete with Google , which dominates the online ad sales space. Starting today, eBay is going to begin brokering radio advertisements. Working with Bid4Spots (quite the obvious name) some 2,300 radio stations will auction airtime through eBay media marketplace. eBay profits by taking a piece from advertisers payments.
This puts eBay directly into competition with Google's dMarc Broadcasting. In April, Google announced plans to sell ads on 674 Clear Channel radio stations.
Since Google's also aiming to bring its ad technology to print ads, will eBay follow?
Online ads may be the fastest-growing part of the ad business, but the online business of selling offline ads is bigger than ever. Last year eBay began using its Media Marketplace website to try to sell cable TV ads, which failed in the face of TV executives not really wanting the most efficient ad sales system, god forbid that bring down ad prices.

Aiello Featured as Guest Lecturer: Explores Racial Consequences of NBA's Move to the Deep South
VALDOSTA – Dr. Thomas Aiello, assistant professor of history and African-American studies at Valdosta State University, has been featured as part of Columbus State University's Civil Rights History Series. Aiello delivered a lecture titled "Leaving the Promised Land: The Atlanta Hawks, Race and the NBA's Move to the Deep South" at Columbus State on Thursday, Nov. 7.
"The talk examined the move of the NBA to the Deep South and the racial consequences of that move – for the players, white Georgia and the election of 1970," said Aiello.
Aiello discussed the arrival of the Atlanta Hawks, formerly the St. Louis Hawks, in 1968 as well as the reaction of the city and state.
"As Jim Crow restrictions fell in the wake of civil rights legislation, and as Sunbelt business imperatives began motivating Atlanta's civic boosters, professional sports teams found an eager host in Georgia," Aiello explained. "The NBA was a black league appearing in the Deep South for the first time, and its reception in Atlanta was cool at best. The disconnect between the largely white fan base and the largely black team led management to draft Pete Maravich in 1970, specifically to put a white star on the roster."
Aiello added that the Hawks served as a "racial pivot" in the 1970 governor's race between Jimmy Carter and Carl Sanders. Sanders, who was also co-owner of the Hawks, was seen in photos embracing black men pouring champagne over his head while celebrating a division championship. This embrace, Aiello explained, was seen as "a racial betrayal to many in Georgia." Ultimately, Carter won the election.
Aiello's lecture serves as part of Columbus State's yearlong commemoration of the nation's civil rights movement.
A Louisiana native, Aiello has taught at VSU since 2010 and has led classes that focus on the economics of slavery, black political murder, the Harlem Renaissance and the black power movement. He currently teaches courses on black press and the second half of African-American history.
Aiello has written and published several books that focus on athletes in African-American history and Jive. He is currently working on a book that explores conflict among some of the greats in African-American history, focusing mainly on the rift between Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Dubois in the early 1900s.
Aiello, who has studied African-American history for more than 15 years, said he is often asked why he - a white man - chose to make African-American history his focus.
"I grew up in a racist place in northeast Louisiana and went to an all-white high school," he explained. "My parish has had more lynchings than any place on earth. As a child that did not seem weird to me although my family always taught me to be accepting of all races and cultures. However, sometime between going to college in Arkansas and returning home, I actually realized how different my hometown is from other places. Even if you're taught not to hate others, you cannot avoid witnessing it in places like my hometown. It gets to you and you want to understand it and figure out why it has the problems it has, and eventually you find all of the problems go back to race."
Aiello said that the topic of race interested him and seemed important.
"Of course there were other topics and careers that seemed interesting to me, but they were not important," he said. "Race in the South is important and it has consequences that we can actually see. I encourage my students not to just celebrate African-American history, but to understand it."

By Air Force Tech. Sgt. Johnathon OrrellNational Guard Bureau
ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 24, 2010 A Texas National Guard officer will become the Army National Guard's first Muslim chaplain in December.
Army 1st Lt. Rafael Lantigua, an ecclesiastically endorsed, fully ordained minister, will assume his post after finishing classes required by the Armed Services Chaplain Board.
"I am humbled for this opportunity to be a role model for other members of my faith throughout the military," he said.
As he was growing up, Lantigua was not a Muslim. He decided to convert when he was a teenager, he said, and he attributed that decision to the diversity of his background. His Baptist mother is an African-American, and his Roman Catholic father is from the Dominican Republic. After his parents divorced, he said, his mother married a Buddhist.
"Growing up in such diversity caused me to explore my options," Lantigua said.
That diversity, he said, enabled him to embrace the Muslim faith before he enlisted in the Air Force. He has continued to be open about his religious beliefs, he added, in the hope that he can break down the stigma surrounding Muslims since Sept. 11, 2001.
"I hope that I will be able to encourage more servicemembers of my faith to open up about their religious beliefs, especially with how we are viewed politically," he said. "I hope to show my fellow military members that Muslims are not bad people and that we are not all radical Muslim terrorists."
Lantigua said the Guard is more than ready for this move.
"The Guard is ripe for this to take place," he said. "Muslims have been with us since the formation of this great country. There were Muslims fighting with us during the Revolutionary War."

I'm proud of the National Guard. Once again, the Guard leads the way in showing no fear of progression within its ranks.
Go Guard! Hooah!

AUTISM What is Autism? Autism is a neurological disorder that affects the development of social abilities, communication, and behaviour in characteristic ways. The term "autistic spectrum disorder" (ASD) reflects the current view that the effects of ASD can range from relatively mild to severe in any or all of these areas of development. People with ASD face challenges in understanding and relating to others. Although they may be interested in social interactions and relationships, they lack some of the necessary interpersonal skills such as the ability to take another person's point of view (empathy). Problems with language comprehension may make communication difficult for people with ASD. Language difficulties may also be a problem in social situations such as, for example, not being able to begin or keep a two-sided conversation going. People with ASD have repetitive patterns of thinking and behaviour, and a limited variety of interests and activities. Research shows that ASD is a genetic disorder but the specific causes are not yet known. ASD is a life-long disorder that in more severe forms is usually recognized by 2 or 3 years of age -- usually because the child is not yet speaking and shows little interest in people. However, more subtle signs of ASD may not be recognized until much later, often when the child enters school. How is Autism diagnosed? Autism can be diagnosed by an experienced clinician (usually a clinical child psychologist or a specialist physician). The diagnosis is made by gathering in-depth information about the child's development from parents and others, and by making systematic observations of the child's behaviour -- both what he does that may be unusual, and what he doesn't do that would be expected of a typically-developing child. 1 With early recognition in young children and a better understanding of both milder and more severe forms in people of all ages, diagnosis of ASD is becoming far more common. Recent estimates suggest that 1 in every 200 children may be affected. The impact of ASD can be overwhelming on families, and the health, education and community services that support them.

These include incidental teaching (using teaching opportunities that naturally arise every day in the home and community) and structured teaching, which emphasizes organizing the person's environment (schedules, materials and settings) to optimize the individual's ability to learn and function. Peer-mediated interventions in which other children are taught effective ways to interact with a child with ASD can promote more positive social opportunities. For older and more able individuals with ASD, modified cognitive-behavioural strategies in which behaviour is changed by changing the way the person thinks, as well as systematic relaxation therapies, can be used to help manage the anxiety that is often associated with social situations and the 2 3 unpredictable challenges of daily living.

Ambassador Richard Jones, Deputy Executive Director of the IEA, participated in the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2010 on 17-19 June. He spoke on the panel discussion on "Global Energy & the Future of the Gas Market" along side Deputy Prime Minister, Igor Sechin.
19 June 2010
Ambassador Jones highlighted the IEA's medium-term outlook for gas markets. He also stressed energy efficiency, ending flaring and allowing third-party access to the main gas trunk line – especially as Gazprom delays investments given the downturn in gas demand in Europe due to the economic crisis. Ambassador Jones also met with Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation, Sergey Shmatko (in photo) to discuss IEA-Russia implementation of the Joint Statement agreed at the IEA Ministerial meeting in October 2009.
