Music Monday: The Chemical Brothers
Posted by Team Swagbucks on Mon, January 10th, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Hal from Team Swagbucks here with today's Music Monday!
The Chemical Brothers have been creating arresting and heart pounding beats for years, but in my mind their best collaborations have come in the form of the music videos they did with "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" director Michel Gondry. Gondry, who is himself a drum player, directs music videos in way that really accentuates the rhythm of the music, a perfect match for the Chemical Brothers. While they've had some really memorable pairings, the one that stands out the most to me is Star Guitar. While it samples from David Bowie, the hypnotic song is really made up of repeating parts that layer over one another, which Gondry parallels to perfection with the repetition of landmarks seen from a moving train.
I can't get enough of this video, and I think you'll like it too.

On the op-ed page of a certain famous mass-circulation newspaper, the editors declare:
The country is frustrated and apprehensive and still waiting for Mr. Obama to put his vision into action.The president cannot plug the leak or magically clean up the fouled Gulf of Mexico. But he and his administration need to do a lot more to show they are on top of this mess, and not perpetually behind the curve. …
Americans need to know that Mr. Obama, whose coolness can seem like detachment, is engaged. This is not a mere question of presentation or stagecraft, although the White House could do better at both. (We cringed when he told the "Today" show that he had spent important time figuring out "whose ass to kick" about the spill. Everyone knew that answer on Day 2.)
One of the paper's top columnist's writes:
The former constitutional lawyer now in the White House understands that the press has a role in the democracy. But he is an elitist, too, as well as thin-skinned and controlling. So he ends up regarding scribes as intrusive, conveying a distaste for what he sees as the fundamental unseriousness of a press driven by blog-around-the-clock deadlines. … It hurts Obama to be a crybaby about it, and to blame the press and the "old Washington game" for his own communication failures. . . Now that Obama has been hit with negative press, he's even more contemptuous. "He's never needed to woo the press," says the NBC White House reporter Chuck Todd. "He's never really needed us." So, as The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz writes, the more press-friendly, emotionally accessible, if gaffe-prone Biden has become "the administration's top on-air spokesman."
The Wall Street Journal and William McGurn? The Washington Examiner and Michael Barone? No, the New York Times and Maureen Dowd. It's one more sign that the bottom is dropping out of Obama's support, and the unraveling of his presidency is picking up steam. Unless he gets a grip and finds some grown-ups from whom he is willing to take advice, this is not going to improve.

If you've been busy keeping track of which one of your friends has thrown ice over his or her head this week, you may have missed another social media trend: #MakeupTransformation.
Over the years beauty magazines have taught us that we, too, can achieve the flawless look of our favorite star with the right kind of products. This series of four photos shows off said transformative power of makeup — but more importantly, the creativity of Instagram and Twitter users around the world. That's not to say that if you try your hardest you won't be able to look like Beyoncé one day, it will just likely take a lot more than four images and the Pic Stitch app. So why not use your imagination? #MakeupTransformation enthusiasts have shown us that Kylie Jenner probably is just doing a lot of contouring, and Chris Brown is even cheesier than we originally thought. And the best part? The meme has been equally embraced by men and women all over the world.
As you prepare to head off into the weekend, take a look at some of the most inspiring images to help you better plan your Saturday night look.

QB Rankings
Standard Leagues
July 1st 2013
No change for me in the top two spots in my rankings from last year, but a rejuvenated Peyton Manning makes his way back to familiar territory as he sits as my third overall QB. After the top three it starts to get interesting as Cam Newton looks to continue his strong late season form from 2012 and I dropped Tom Brady down to 6 as I expect his touchdown totals to come down with all the problems in New England. Matt Ryan has a chance to continue his accent up the rankings as one of his favorite targets Tony Gonzalez decided to come back for one more chance at a Super Bowl. Robert Griffin III was one of the harder QBs to slot as his knee injury makes for a cloudy outlook when projecting his running potential. I still believe he has the upside of top 5 fantasy QB, but if he continues to take big hits he may not be long for this league.
Tony Romo, Matthew Stafford and Russell Wilson represent some of the deepest talent at the QB1 position I have ever seen. They can all reach 30 touchdown totals and Romo and Stafford are yardage machines. Wilson still sits at 12 for me just because of Seattle's reliance on the run. Marshawn Lynch should continue to lead that offense, but I expect big things in the future from Mr. Wilson.
My top QB2s start at Eli Manning and end with Jay Cutler. Eli should bounce back from a poor 2012 as he has a very motivated receiving corp and a dangerous young running back in David Wilson. The Bears hiring of Marc Trestman could be just what Jay Cutler needs to make the jump to elite level. I'm not counting on it, but I could see it happening.
Josh Freeman is in a make or break season with the Tampa Bay Bucs and he could be a late round steal. Former Rutgers coach Greg Schiano tried to light a fire under his butt by drafting Mike Glennon and questioning his standing as franchise QB, but lately he has started to build back up Freeman in the hopes that Freeman can realize his immense potential. Former 1st overall pick Sam Bradford is starting to run out of excuses and this year could be his make or break year as well. The Rams traded up to get Tavon Austin and signed Jeff Fisher favorite Jared Cook to give him some legitimate NFL weapons.
Some late round QB2s that could be solid streaming options or injury fill-ins are Brandon Weeden and Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill will benefit from the signing of speedster Mike Wallace and the development of Lamar Miller. Weeden has two young wide receivers that look the part in Josh Gordon and Greg Little, but he really benefits from having Trent Richardson in the passing game. Richardson's run after the catch ability racks up the yardage and any screen pass has the potential to go to the end zone.

Juneau's Eaglecrest is on to the second round of the Ski Town Throwdown.
The tiny ski area Monday proved to be more popular in the competition than Whistler/Blackcomb Ski Resort near Vancouver, British Columbia.
Whistler/Blackcomb is huge by comparison, but throughout the day Eaglecrest was a couple hundred votes ahead in the contest, conducted on Powder Magazine's Facebook page. The magazine paired the areas.
Eaglecrest is the only Alaska ski area in the competition. Girdwood's Alyeska Resort lost to Panorama Mountain Village in B.C. earlier this month.
The magazine divides the ski areas into geographic regions, the Great White North, Far West, Rocky Mountain West and the Big East.
Eaglecrest snow sports director Jeffra Clough says the Ski Town Throwdown has six rounds, just like the March Madness basketball championship.
"There's the second round and then they call it the Sweet 16, the Elite 8, the Final 4 and then the finals," Clough says. "And so the Great White North champion goes against the Big East champion on December 2nd and 3rd."
The second round is Nov. 7th, when Eaglecrest will be paired against Mount Washington in British Columbia. The Vancouver Island ski area is the winner of Tuesday's Powder Magazine competition against Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, also in B.C.

Managing Automation (Circulation: 100,000)
Keith Gardiner, professor of industrial and systems engineering at Lehigh, wrote a letter to the editor in response to an article titled, "The Outsourcing Debate." Gardiner wrote, "One puzzling feature that continues to strike me—there are very many foreign companies that are expanding their manufacturing production or assembly facilities in the U.S. These companies are coming here because it makes financial and strategic sense to be closer to their customers. This indicates that, to a certain extent, outsourcing may not altogether be a wage issue."

More Than an Apple for the Teacher; Congress and Texas Legislature Limit Educators' Liability
Perry Zirkel, professor of educational leadership in the College of Education at Lehigh, was mentioned in an article about the Paul D. Coverdell Teacher Protection Act of 2001. The Coverdell Act's stated purpose is to provide "school professionals the tools they need to undertake reasonable actions to maintain order, discipline, and an appropriate educational environment." Zirkel, author of a 2003 article in West's Education Law Reporter titled "The Coverdell Teacher Protection Act: Immunization or Illusion?" has criticized the act as providing only "a qualified immunity that is so full of limitations and exceptions as to be meaningless," and as providing "nothing of significance in the way of protection for classroom teachers."

Lafayette Lags in Hoopsters' Grades
Joe Sterrett, Lehigh University's dean of athletics, was quoted in an article about athletic scholarships. Lehigh University is admitting athletes with better academic credentials since it began offering athletic scholarships in 1999. A report by the Patriot League, which includes Lafayette, Lehigh University and six other schools, says the Lafayette men's team has failed to meet the school's own academic goals for freshmen recruits in three of the last four years. The women's team recruits failed to meet the standard for the first time last year. Most other Patriot League schools begin with a larger pool of potential recruits than Lafayette because they can offer an athletic scholarship to whomever they want. Lafayette can only offer financial assistance to those in need. When choosing a school — and the Patriot League schools often compete for the same recruits — student-athletes are likely to choose the free education. That leaves only the best students in need in the pool Lafayette competes for. ''When we were able to adopt a more flexible athletic-aid program, the academic quality of the recruited athletes trended up,'' said Joe Sterrett, Lehigh's athletic director. "That's been the case pretty consistently."

Second, there's a chance to win a trip to St. Petersburg, Russia, for the benefit of the Philharmonic Endowment Fund. Philharmonic conductor Paul Chou has arranged a fascinating program with a Russian focus.

Lehigh Theater Flies to Aristophanes' Fantasyland of "The Birds"
When Lehigh University Theater head Augustus Ripa thought about staging Aristophanes' classic Greek comedy "The Birds," he wanted to focus on its zany plot and its fantasy escapism. "We haven't done a Greek play in years," says Ripa, who chose to direct "The Birds" as the season opener. Ripa says he was reminded of Aristophanes when he read about the recent Broadway version of another Aristophanes creation, "The Frogs," which just concluded a highly publicized Broadway run. "The Birds," opening Friday, is about the improbable travails of two Athenians who, tired of war and politics, seek refuge in the region of the birds — a place above Earth and below Olympus. They are attracted to the simplicity of a world where the residents have such simple needs, requiring only food and love. "The Birds," 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, 8 p.m. Wednesday through Oct. 30, 2 p.m. Oct. 31, Zoellner Arts Center, Lehigh University, 420 E. Packer Ave., Bethlehem.

Holly Springs is a city in and county seat of Marshall County, Mississippi, United States near southern Tennessee.
Near the Mississippi Delta, the area was developed as cotton plantations and dependent on enslaved labor. Since the 19th century the county has had a majority-black population. After the American Civil War, many freedmen continued to work in agriculture but as sharecroppers and tenant farmers. As the county seat, the city is a center of trade and court sessions.
The population was 7,957 at the 2000 census. A slight decrease in population was calculated in the 2010 census.[1] Opportunities are limited in the rural area and young people leave to find work.
Holly Springs was founded by European Americans in 1836, on territory historically occupied by Chickasaw Indians for centuries before Indian Removal in the 1830s.[2] They developed extensive cotton plantations, bringing or purchasing African-American slaves as laborers.
The settlement served as a trading center for the neighboring cotton plantations. In 1837 it was made seat of the newly created Marshall County, named for John Marshall, the United States Supreme Court justice. The town developed a variety of merchants and businesses to support the plantations, and its population into the early 20th century included a community of Jewish merchants, whose ancestors were immigrants from eastern Europe.[3]
By 1855 Holly Springs was connected to Grand Junction, Tennessee by the advancing Mississippi Central Railway.[4] In ensuing years, the line was completed to the south of Hill Springs. Toward the end of the century, the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad was constructed to intersect this line in Holly Springs.
During the Civil War, the town was used by General Ulysses S. Grant as a supply depot and headquarters. Confederate Earl Van Dorn led a raid of the area in December 1862, destroying most of the Union supplies.
In 1878 the city suffered a yellow fever epidemic, common to many river cities along the Mississippi and Ohio that year; 2,000 of its residents died. The existing Marshall County Courthouse, at the center of Holly Springs' square, was used as a hospital during the epidemic.[2]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 12.7 square miles (33 km2), of which 12.7 square miles (33 km2) is land and 0.04 square miles (0.10 km2) (0.16%) is water.
The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Holly Springs has a humid subtropical climate, in common with the vast majority of the South.[5]

DMB member Boyd Tinsley coming Saturday for Appy Film Fest
HUNTINGTON — The Appalachian Film Festival celebrates its 10th annual festival at the historic Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center.
And they will do so in style.
Dave Matthews Band member and filmmaker, Boyd Tinsley, of Charlottesville, Va., will be one of the special guests at the Film Festival on Saturday night as he presents his feature film, "Faces in the Mirror" that is set to run 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
The film debuted last year at the Woodstock Film Fest, and has since shown at film fests around the country.
"Faces" will be followed by the awards ceremony on stage at the Keith, and the 10th anniversary weekend will be capped off with a raucous rockabilly show by Huntington's own guitar-blasters, The Heptanes, who've just released a new CD, "Revelator."
Set to run at 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 12 -13, the film fest will feature independent films from Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and plenty of locally-made films and short videos.
Friday there is a $5 suggested donation at door to support the Keith-Albee Theater Organ Project.
Saturday there is a $5 suggested donation to support the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center and the Fisher House for Veteran Families, Rockville, Md.
"Faces" is a story about Ben Fisher, a young man who returns home to bury his father. Angry that he had been neglected by his workaholic father, Ben had refused to see him for years. On the day of his father's funeral, Ben goes on a dream-like odyssey where he's led, portal by portal, to fantastical places with somewhat mystifying people who all seem to be guiding him somewhere. He's looking for a way to be free of his pain and guilt. He's looking for forgiveness.
This is a film that's not only meant to be seen, it's meant to be experienced. An experience of music, visuals and emotion. It's like a dream.
"This was the kind of movie I wanted to make, one that took the audience on an emotional rollercoaster ride from beginning to end," Tinsley said in a release."Music is a big part of lending emotion to movies, so I knew that as long as you know how a movie is supposed to feel, you can actually create the music first. This is what we did."

The US arms Israel and Syria arms Hezbollah. Levels the playing field. Perhaps the groups should get together.
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
Syria has been arming and training Hezbollah fighters in the use of advanced antiaircraft weapons in recent months, Israel Defense Forces sources have told Haaretz. A senior officer in the Northern Command says hundreds of fighters were taught to use surface-to-air missiles in Syria and Iran.
IDF officers are worried by two developments involving Syria and Hezbollah that could change the balance of power in the region. The first is the transfer of huge quantities of surface-to-air missiles; the second, the transfer of chemical and biological weapons.

IDF officers believe that Hezbollah use of advanced antiaircraft missiles could jeopardize Israeli aerial supremacy. "The potential of escalation in Lebanon is huge, and Hezbollah continues to strengthen with regard to long-range weaponry and potential 'surprises' on the battlefield," the senior officer said. "We will have to find answers to the transfer of antiaircraft weaponry, and chemical and biological weapons. It could be a cause to change Israel's retaliation policy," he added.
According to past, unverified, reports, Israel has considered on several occasions attacking convoys of weaponry from Syria to Lebanon. The senior officer says the Iranian involvement in Lebanon has transformed from a "fingerprint" to "a huge handprint."
The IDF points to a "regular transfer" of weapons from Syria to Hezbollah that began even before the rebellion against President Bashar Assad's government. Still, since Assad lost complete control, the weapon transfers have increased, and include drones and shore-to-ship missiles. "The more Assad loses his grip, the transfers will increase," the officer explained. "We're troubled by the transfer of strategic components from Syria to Lebanon, and if that happens, it might be cause for a more active response," he added.
According to IDF estimates, three Syrian battalions are in charge of operating SA-17s - relatively long-range advanced Russian antiaircraft missiles. The Air Force has already altered part of its activity on the northern border for fear of surface-to-air missiles. Syria also has a huge arsenal of long-range surface-to-surface missiles. The IDF is certain that Hezbollah, too, has hundreds of long-range missiles, including, among others, M600 missiles and Scud missiles.
Two months ago, Haaretz published the defense officials' fear that chemical weapons have reached Hezbollah. A senior officer in the General Staff estimated that Assad's regime would fall by the end of the year, and that these weapons would be kept by the regime until its fall, or be transferred to Hezbollah.
Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel, head of plans and policy directorate, and the designated commander of the Air Force, has already said: "Our main worry is huge caches of chemical and biological weapons, and strategic abilities that still arrive in Syria, mostly from Eastern Europe."

Even if you've been out of work, you should negotiate the offer with confidence, not cockiness. If they've made you an offer, it means they've decided they want you. Thank them for the offer and let them know you're thrilled at the prospect of coming on board, and also ask if there's an opportunity to negotiate. Find out where this salary falls in the range budgeted for this role. Do your research quickly and even if more money isn't an option, perhaps there are other perks and benefits to negotiate.

Regardless of bitter cold temperatures and inches upon inches of snow, postal carriers push through the winter weather to deliver mail to Whitley County residents. Pictured, Troy Jagger, a carrier for the U.S. Postal Service, delivers mail on Washington Street in Columbia City Saturday. Sunday, the price of stamps increased to 49 cents to cover what the department says is a growing revenue loss for letter and mail delivery.

COLUMBIA CITY — A woman accused of dealing prescription drugs will have a bench trial Tuesday in Whitley County Circuit Court, winter weather permitting.
Carrie L. Hammons, 37, of Columbia City, was arrested in late June of 2013 and given two charges of dealing in a Schedule I, II or III controlled substance.
Her bench trial Tuesday will begin at 9 a.m. Her attorney is Robert W. Love.
Hammons was originally set to have a jury trial. But a motion was made last week to have it changed to a bench trial.
An open invitation has been issued to Whitley County residents to photographically document their winter life – two-days only – on Super Bowl Weekend (and Groundhog Day) – February 1-2.
Photo submissions to this special Post & Mail project will be placed in a unique newspaper publication to be published in late February.
"A Winter Weekend in the Life of Whitley County" will herald slice-of-life happenings in our county community, such as community events, family outings, work-related activities – just about anything imaginable.
Mother Nature blew a snow drift all the way to the gutter of a home in Carlin Court in Smith Township Saturday. The section of roof pictured is 6 feet tall.
COLUMBIA CITY — John Woodmansee is the new Extension Educator working in agriculture and natural resources in Whitley County and in Noble County.
Woodmansee grew up on a family farm in Grant County. They raised corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, hay, hogs, cattle and rabbits. From time to time they had a horse or two.
He got his undergraduate degree in agricultural education from Purdue University, and his graduate degree was also from Purdue in vocational education. Woodmansee taught high school agriculture at Batesville High School for three years.
COLUMBIA CITY — Peabody Public Library recently announced its special events, contest and cancellations for the month of February.
Tatting has been cancelled until April.
Special Events
•Jeopardy! 2014 will be held Tuesday, Feb. 18 and 25 at 6 p.m. Join a team or come and watch the Albertsons defend their title.
•PBS Kids Go! Writers Contest and PPL Writers Contest —
COLUMBIA CITY — As the snow drifts get higher and the impending ISTEP+ test gets closer, educators worry that students may lose skills due to less time in the classroom.
In addition, the extra time off from school has parents fighting the never ending battle of cabin fever.
Tammy Weimer, principal at Little Turtle Elementary School, says keeping a child's brain engaged can happen at home.
Winter weather forecasts may bring groans from most Whitley County residents, but a home in Columbia City added a little humor to the white stuff that piled up in their front yard. A sign that reads, "Free Snow — shovel all you want," provides a comical perspective to what seems to be a never ending winter.
WHITLEY COUNTY — Winter weather has caused a number of delays, including the county's recycling service and Columbia City's trash pick up.
For city trash customers, service is pushed back a day. Friday's trash collection will still be as planned and Christmas tree pick up is still set for Saturday.
Recycling service for those customers who would have had pick up on Monday will not have a collection of recyclables until Monday, Feb. 10.
Residents can bag their additional recycling material and place it next to their container on the next scheduled day for pick up.

Todd McFarlane Designs Home Plate For Charity
Proceeds To Benefit Chicanos Por La Causa
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
Todd McFarlane gets to combine two things that he loves – drawing and baseball.
McFarlane is participating in this year's Home Plate Project, a fundraiser for local non-profits that gets local members of the Arizona community and celebrities to decorate home plates to auction off for charity. This year's primary non-profit partner is Chicanos Por La Causa.
Clearly channeling his roots, McFarlane created an original drawing of Spider-Man with "spaghetti webbing," a technique he created and used frequently while working on the Spider-Man comics during the 80's. He later went on to create the wildly popular Spawn Comic.
You can view and bid on McFarlane's plate, along with other celebrities work currently being auctioned on www.homeplateproject.com. Bidding ends in August.
About The Home Plate Project
The Home Plate Project is a fundraiser for local non-profits. The idea of the program is to get members of the Arizona community to decorate home plates that will be provided to them. The plates will then be put on-line here for auction. Participants are encouraged to decorate their plate any way they like that shows their personality, their company's personality, mission, what they do or just any fun idea they choose. They may paint the plate, attach crafts, apply a photo or again; any way they want to creatively use the space. There is one rule; be creative!!!
About Chicanos Por La Causa
More than forty two years have passed since the day when a group of community and student activists of Mexican descent created Chicanos Por La Causa – CPLC – to address the problems of the barrios of South Central Phoenix, Arizona. Although its initial focus was on creating employment opportunities and combating community deterioration, CPLC became increasingly aware that these problems were much deeper rooted. As a result, CPLC expanded its services to provide assistance to disadvantaged individuals regardless of ethnic origin. CPLC is the only community development corporation in Arizona that offers extensive services in both urban and rural areas. Its service delivery system is expansive enough to effectively reach thousands of low-income people. In its perpetual drive to provide needed services, CPLC continually assesses the needs of its communities throughout Arizona.
McFarlane Toys
McFarlane Toys is the fifth largest action figure manufacturer in the United States. Established in 1994 to manufacture and sell action figures based on founder Todd McFarlane's comic book character Spawn, the international award-winning company has expanded into licensed products to become one of the premiere action figure producers on the planet.

Dividend ETFs
Dividend ETFs are funds that trade like regular stocks, and can help provide international diversification or exposue to certain sectors in one's portfolio.
Although we prefer individual dividend stocks to ETFs, we are now tracking the price movements of some major dividend-focused ETFs, and will update the names below regularly. Please note that we do not rate or recommend any of the ETFS on this page, and ETFs can have different tax implications than regular equities, so talk to a tax professional first.
Also, be aware that many ETFs trade with very low volume (less than 50,000 shares/day). This means you could see wider gaps on fills on your market orders, and low-volume stocks can be volatile due to their small shareholder base.

With Halloween just around the corner, eldritch tales of bone chilling terror abound. Oh noes! Razors in apples, Liquid-Plumr-laced chocolate, and the worst of all: DRUGS!
Within these stories lies a warning, an ancient morality fable: Nothing is free, and with greed comes a risk. There have only been two cases nationwide from 1958 to 1988 of children dying from eating tainted trick or treats, including one kid who was murdered by his own father with a strychnine-flavored Pixie Stix. Yet the stories continue because they prey upon our fears: Our spawn will be destroyed by (choose one or more):
Well, just in time to scare people about Prop 19, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office issued a warning about medibles, medical marijuana in candy form. The Los Angeles Times reports:
Investigators have confiscated candies and snacks containing pot from marijuana dispensaries, and they are concerned such items could wind up in children's trick-or-treat bags, they said Friday in a statement.
Local Los Angeles TV station KTLA–owned by the LA Times parent company Tribune–showed medibles which were clearly decorated with pot leaves and had names like "Kush Candy."
WTF!? At $10 to $20 a medible snack, who the heck is gonna be giving out those candies?
Officials say pot treats, such as candy bars and lollipops are sold in marijuana dispensaries and could be circulating around. "These lollipops, candy bars, they look pretty legitimate. The problem is if it gets in the wrong hands and a kid licks a lollipop, they get ill or intoxicated," said Cpt. Ralph Ornelas of the L.A. County Sheriff's Department. Some treats look like regular cookies or candy, but they don't smell normal. Another clue, many of the products are not clearly labeled (my note: they aren't very commercial looking compared to say Tootsie Pops or Snickers bars).
Both stories did add that the Sheriff's Department:
says it has never received a report of candy or snacks containing pot being distributed to Halloween trick-or-treaters.
This is fear mongering at its finest. Oh how I wish Lee Baca was up for re-election. I would be leading the move to get him out of office!
The warning comes days before Californians vote on Proposition 19, the marijuana legalization measure. Sheriff Lee Baca opposes the proposition and has said he will continue to arrest marijuana growers even if it is approved.
Props to KTLA's reporter who asked if opposition to Prop 19 had anything to do with the news alert. The on-camera deputy said the sheriff's department was just concerned about public safety. Note that in this photo, courtesy of the LASD, along wth pot leaf logos, you can clearly see the word
on the candy. I'd file this under pot-hating propaganda.
Okay, Snow White's stepmom handed her a poisoned apple, giving second marriages and witches a bad name, and there was one time on record that pot was passed out to trick or treaters. But that was an accident. Snopes.com reports:
An odd act of randomness occurred in the town of Hercules, California (near San Francisco) in 2000. Some trick-or-treaters came home with little packets of marijuana done up to look like miniature Snickers bars…Police investigated and were satisfied the homeowner had no knowledge of the special contents of certain bars that were handed out that night.
The marijuana packets dressed up to look like Snickers bars had landed in the Hercules dead letter office because whoever had tried to mail a package containing them either didn't use enough postage or had listed an incorrect address…A postal employee (the mystified homeowner) brought the "candy" home to give out on Halloween, thinking the Snickers bars were, well, Snickers bars.
Had pot been legal, this would never had happened. Maybe some news stories about the high rate of childhood diabetes and obesity would be more on the mark, or a feel good story about alternatives to candy, like pencils, disposable tattoos or maybe even used kids books bought in bulk from thrift shops?
Side note: Since 1983 I have been doing an annual experiment. On the day before Halloween, I go to the market, sometimes with a friend, sometimes alone. The set up varies, but the goal is the same, to see how awake people are. I always make sure to dress as square as possible and cover my tattoos. Glasses add an air of respectability and further the "normal" vibe. Thus costumed as a typical suburban mom and carrying a couple sacks of candy or a bag of apples, I'll ask a clerk and/or a fellow shopper if they know what aisle the Drano is on. Then I'll ask where the sewing needles can be found. If I'm with a friend, while standing near some people, I'll matter of factly ask:
I've got the candy, could you snag the Raid and some razor blades?
Or I'll buy a a couple of the above items along with bags of fun-sized chocolate bars–I mean you can always use single edge blades to cut out decoupage designs, and gods know buttons come loose and hems fall out…
Granted, I'm not expecting the store manager to give me the third degree or be swarmed in the parking lot by the LAPD, but maybe a raised eyebrow, a gasp…Today I was at the airport purposefully holding my arriving guest's name card inverted, and four people stopped to tell me it was upside down. You'd think–
I may be a bit of a prankster, but what Lee Baca and the LAPD sheriff's office did with that warning–which only served the sheriff's own antediluvian agenda–was ridiculous and only furthers a myth which has been repeatedly debunked.

What exactly is the problem with tar (bsdtar)? It handles hard links, file flags (be sure to specify the -p option when extracting) and everything else that's necessary. By the way, you don't need device nodes anymore because of DEVFS. I think device nodes outside of DEVFS don't work anymore anyway, so they're useless.

Distance Educators and Dogma
Oct 03, 2007
Commentary by Stephen Downes
Re: Distance Educators and Dogma
If you live on a trap line in Northern Canada, you can still have access to high speed Internet (satellite) and electricity (generators). I've been helping people in isolated communities use broadband services. It works. We've done it. Now, the question - is it something you really want and has value. Too often, once the service is implemented, people realize they've gained access to a wealth on non relevant learning. [Comment] [Permalink]

|Municipal governments and First Nations across Canada are working together to provide improved and cost-effective services to their residents while strengthening ties between the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations in Canada. Although there are many successful service agreements, there are also many communities that have yet to meet their neighbour and work collaboratively. Through improved communication and relationship-building, First Nations and municipalities can create partnerships based on respect and a sense of community to meet their mutual service and infrastructure needs.
|Canada's property taxpayers subsidize telecommunications companies by more than $107 million a year. That's how much municipal governments pay so these for-profit companies can dig up our streets and use public rights-of-way without paying the full cost. FCM has long supported Canadian municipalities in their struggle to regain control over their property and save taxpayers money.
Page 30 of this toolkit has a checklist for municipalities wishing to draft their Municipal Access Agreement.
|Municipal Affairs, along with sector partners, has developed a new interactive tool to help you assess the sustainability of your municipal operations and help you identify opportunities for improvement. The easy to use interactive tool allows municipalities to evaluate the sustainability of their municipal operations by answering questions related to the key areas of municipal sustainability. Based on the responses, the tool will provide municipalities with a score related to each area. Examining the self-assessment scores will help municipalities assess the things that are going well and areas where there are opportunities for improvement. This tool is exclusively for municipal use and results are not required to be shared.

My wife and I just spent the last week camping in Oregon/Idaho along the Snake River. In addition to great weather and good times, we learned a few valuable lessons — the hard way.
#1) Pack sunblock. Normally, when I think of camping, I envision dense forests with ample shade. Last week, other than the Snake, we didn't have much to cool us down or protect us from the sun. Needless to say, I may be uncharacteristically red as I type this.

While most of us in DC have stacked our winter clothes up in the attic or inside a trunk, the truth is, it's still a bit chilly. So today I made this mushroom soup, yet again. I should be tired of it already, since I just cooked 100 portions of it for last Friday's cooking class at the Institute and I had tested it for weeks... But here I go.. It is just too good!
It is not your typical soup at all. It has the woody and earthy feel of the mushrooms, but their flavor is somehow enhanced by the Chile de Árbol. It may sound strange, since one would think that chiles mask the flavor of ingredients. But depending on how you use them, they can pronounce rather than overpower other flavors.
Although the Chile de Arbol is quite spicy, in this soup you can taste its depth but not its heat, since they are browned but never opened. This is one of the subtle ways to use them, as the seeds and veins which contain most of the heat are bundled up inside throughout the cooking.
Luckily, these chiles can be found almost anywhere these days. Like other dried chiles, they are a very smart staple to incorporate into your pantry since they last forever, they are filled with Vitamin A (great excuse to indulge...) and they can enrich your home cooking immensely.
The soup has a flavorful roasted tomato base. You can buy the already roasted tomatoes, but down below I tell you how to roast or char them yourself. It takes no more than 10 minutes, it is rather simple and it gives the soup a nice rustic feel. I include the epazote in the end, but if you don't find it don't worry, it is optional. It just gives it a nice accent.
It takes about 25 minutes to make this soup. Go for it! You can make a double batch and reheat it the next day for lunch, accompanied with some sliced toasted baguette or bolillo, and a slice of ripe avocado on top.
Mushroom, Chile de Arbol and Roasted Tomato Soup
Serves 4-6
1 1/2 pound, or 6 to 7, ripe roma/guaje tomatoes
3/4 cup white onion, roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons safflower or corn oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 Chiles de Arbol
2 pounds mushrooms, rinsed and sliced
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, or to taste
8 cups chickenbroth, homemade or storebought
2 fresh epazote sprigs, may substitue for dried, optional
1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
1 or 2 bolillos or small baguettes, sliced and toasted, optional
To Prepare
Char the tomatoes, onion and garlic, by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet under the broiler. Alternatively, you can char them on the grill or on a hot comal, the traditional way. Whichever method you choose, tomatoes will take between 6 to 9 minutes, and the onion and garlic between 3 to 4 minutes. Turn them around halfway through.
Tomatoes are ready when they are completely cooked through, mushy and their skin is charred, blistered and wrinkled. Garlic and onion will have also charred and softened.
Place charred tomatoes, onion and garlic in the blender and puree until smooth. In a pot, heat one tablespoon of the oil and the butter over medium heat until butter starts to bubble. Add Chiles de Arbol and sautee for a couple minutes, turning them around, until they are lightly browned and crisp.
Add sliced mushrooms, sprinkle with salt, cover the pot and let them steam for 5 minutes.
In a soup pot, add a tablespoon of oil and heat over medium high heat. Stir the tomato puree into the pot. For a smoother feel, you can place a strainer on top of the soup pot, and strain the tomato puree into the pot. Let the puree simmer, season and thicken for about 4 to 5 minutes. Its color will darken and become deeper.
Stir in the chicken broth and simmer for 5 more minutes. Incorporate the mushrooms along with the chiles. Add the fresh epazote sprigs, if you want, and let it all simmer 5 more minutes. Taste for salt and add more if need be.
Serve very hot. If you wish, add a slice of avocado on top of each bowl of soup. It can be eaten with a side of toasted bolillos or baguettes as well.

Your boss says one thing but does something else. You send him or her emails but don't hear anything. When you take initiative, they say something completely different. This can leave you wanting to tear your hair out or at least have a dramatic Hollywood-style confrontation with your boss.
Unfortunately you can't arrange to kill your boss aka Horrible Bosses but what can you do to cope in an ever-changing work environment?
First, how do you recognize a boss who changes on a whim?
Talks too much
Communication is key but when a boss talks too much and says nothing, it might be a sign that your boss is hesitant to make a decision.
Lacks self-confidence
He makes a decision only to start second-guessing himself. He changes his mind constantly and asks you your opinion more than once. Projects start but don't finish, direction changes.
Avoids meetings with you
You want to speak to him about your career so you set up a meeting. You know it's in his calendar because he accepted. Then he cancels the appointment and doesn't offer an alternative time. You're left wondering what you should be doing and attempting to carve out a job description and career plan on your own.
One minute you hear nothing from your boss, the next, you're constantly being asked to give him reports, he's hovering around your desk and you find yourself copying him on emails.
It's all frustrating but there are ways to deal with this.
"The most important thing to do is constantly clarify your boss' priorities," says Human Resources expert Sarah Paul. "They may change on the fly, so make sure you ask and reaffirm the priority of the moment. Keep a list of ongoing projects on the go and be prepared to shift gears at any time. A trick I use to manage my tasks is to put them all in my Outlook calendar. This allows me to easily move projects/tasks to a different time or day (or month!). Be sure to keep a constant to-do list so that nothing gets forgotten as you move from one priority to the next."
Be flexible. "Understand that things change and that you need to be able to respond, all while having a smile on your face. If you need rigid structure with strict timelines in order enjoy your job, perhaps this is the wrong work environment or the wrong leader… for you," says Paul. "Flexibility is one of the top competencies companies are looking for in their talent. If flexibility is not your strong suit, then consider developing your skills in this area."
Establish expectations with your boss. "Sit down and have a candid discussion about what you need from him/her in order to do your job effectively. Determine the most appropriate way you will communicate with each other. Are you able to respond to phone calls quickly or are you always away from your desk and prefer email? Is it better that detailed discussions be held in person versus over email, then suggest you come into his/her office for those chats. Is there an unspoken expectation that you will respond to requests on the weekend?"
Once you've established the ground rules, Paul suggests taking some time to think them over. "Then make sure you are either okay with this or communicate when you are available, if at all, during "off hours." says Paul. "Do what you need to do to make sure that you can be successful in communicating and performing effectively for your boss. She or he will respect you being upfront and demonstrating your desire to ensure expectations are clear."
Anticipate your boss' needs and always stay one step ahead. "Successful people take the initiative to look ahead to future needs and be ready to react.," says Paul. "Past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour. If your boss has left things until the last minute in the past, they are bound to do it again. If they have a presentation on Thursday…. it is already Wednesday and the fancy handout documents have not even been discussed, you know they are coming, so order the materials, get the template drafted and put Kinkos on notice. If you are ready when things hit the fan, you will be much less stressed and brand yourself the go-to person in "to the wire" situations."
Your boss probably won't change so you can change to accommodate him or her as Paul suggests. "Anyway you can make yourself indispensable is a good thing."

Where Will You Be on Manufacturing Day?
Manufacturing Day is October 4, 2013, and there's still time for you to get involved!
Manufacturing Day is a nationwide effort in which manufacturers open their doors and show what manufacturing is -- and what it isn't. The purpose is to address the skilled labor shortage by dispelling some common misperceptions about manufacturing: that is, to show that modern manufacturing jobs are more rewarding and more important than many people realize.
At the time I'm writing this, there are 335 events planned across the nation for Manufacturing Day 2013. You can find events near you at http://www.mfgday.com/events. A dozen events will be held in North Carolina over a period of several weeks:
- October 3rd: Thorlo in Rockwell
October 4th:
- Caterpillar in East Clayton
- Caterpillar in Sanford
- Falcon Metal (and the Employers Association) in Charlotte
- Kellex Seating in Valdese
- Mertek Solutions in Sanford
- Parata Systems in Durham
- Power Curbers, Inc., in Salisbury
- Resource Mfg in Charlotte
- Thorlo in Statesville
- October 8th: ShopBot Tools
- October 22nd: Nash Community College in Rocky Mount
In addition, the Industrial Extension Service and the "Manufacturing Makes It Real" Network plan to host a Manufacturing Day event here on Centennial Campus on October 4th.
If your company wants to host a Manufacturing Day event, sign up on this page.
Finally, you don't have to wait until October to celebrate manufacturing: The next "Manufacturing Makes It Real" Network event is scheduled for September 10, 2013, at Precor in Whitsett. Hope to see you there!

Who was Charles Finney?
Charles Finney was a descendant of the New England Puritans, and was born in Warren, Connecticut. Finney was the youngest of fifteen children. The son of farmers, Finney never attended college, but his six-foot three-inch stature, piercing eyes, musical skill and leadership abilities gained him recognition in his community. He studied as an apprentice to become a lawyer, but after a dramatic conversion experience and baptism into the Holy Spirit in Adams, New York, he gave up legal practice to preach the gospel. At age 29 Finney studied to become a licensed minister in the Presbyterian Church.
Many are inclined to regard Finney as the greatest evangelist and theologian since the days of the apostles. It is estimated that during the year 1857-58 over a hundred thousand persons were led to Christ as the direct or indirect result of Finney's labors, while five hundred thousand persons professed conversion to Christ in the great revival which began in his meetings.
Involved in the abolitionist movement, Finney frequently denounced slavery from the pulpit. Finney was president of Oberlin College for 15 years. Oberlin became active early in the movement to end slavery and was among the first American colleges to co-educate blacks and women with white men.

Many others regard him as one of the most dangerously flawed churchmen since the days of the Apostles. In many areas of evangelical doctrine, his views – especially on the atonement – would be considered heretical if they were more widely known. The manipulative revivalist practices he taught have a bitter heritage in what is known today as the "burned-over" region of western and upstate New York. There's a big difference between "professing" Christ and actually being converted. Check out the critique of Finney in John MacArthur's "Ashamed of the Gospel."
I agree with Larry, and I find it odd when people are hailed for how many followers made a profession of were saved. Other than the first few chapters of Acts, that is not the pattern of description of ministry in the New Testament, which instead emphasizes proclamation of the truth and submission to Christ.

I have always been fascinated by spirituality, philosophy and mysticism. I can't remember a time when I wasn't. After 25 years studying with the old spiritual tradition of this country, I took some time out to evaluate what I had learnt and what I was putting into practise. I felt an intense need to explore other cultures and traditions and in doing so, discovered there was more that united us than separated us and that our connection to the divine and to our own hearts can be discovered from many ways and paths – all that matters is that you follow it in the most honest way you can.
From this lifetime of experience and exploration, my work now is about helping others to find their heart's desire, how to tap into your own potential and to help heal and transform the challenges in our lives. It is not what life throws at us that is the real challenge– it is how we deal with it that really matters.
Living an authentic life, with compassion for others, a reverence for life and the divine in all its forms, a love of truth and the endless possibilities of learning and exploring ourselves and the world we live in is my passion.
Have you discovered yours?

The government says it will propose spending Rp 12 trillion (about $1.2 billion) to finance an extra four million kiloliters of subsidized fuel for the 2012 state budget, after Jakarta reported it would use up its quota this year by as early as next week.
"It's approximately Rp 12 trillion, considering a million kiloliters costs Rp 3 trillion," Head of the Finance Ministry's Fiscal Policy Board (BKF) Bambang Brodjonegoro said on Thursday in Jakarta.
Bambang added that the additional spending meant the deficit would expand from 2.23 percent of the gross domestic product to 2.3 percent.
"What matters is the deficit won't exceed 2.3 percent, even in the worst [case] scenario," Bambang said.
State oil and gas firm Pertamina announced on Tuesday that five provinces in total would burn through their annual quota of subsidized fuel before the end of the year.
The four other provinces — West Java, West Kalimantan, Riau Islands and South Kalimantan — are predicted to use up their quotas by October or early November.
Overall, Pertamina said it had channeled a total of 29.32 million kiloliters of subsidized fuel as of Aug. 30 — 18.44 million kiloliters of Premium (subsidized gasoline), 10.06 million kiloliters of diesel and 700,000 kiloliters of kerosene.
The total subsidized fuel quota for this year was earlier set at 40 million kiloliters.
In response to the report, the government, through the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, has announced it will propose additional four million kiloliters of subsidized fuel for this year, increasing the quota to 44 million kiloliters.
On Thursday, the ministry's director general for oil and gas, Evita Legowo, said she was optimistic the House would approve the proposal.
The government had planned another solution in case the proposal didn't pass. By diverting some funds earlier allotted for subsidized kerosene to subsidized gasoline and diesel, adding kerosene consumption was thus far lower than the projected figure, unlike the burgeoning gasoline and diesel consumptions.
"We might need to adjust the volume of kerosene then," Evita said.

Manitoba Harvest, Shelled Hemp Seed
Posted by Reviewer3303340 on Jan 24, 2012
From what I've read about hemp hearts, or hemp seed, I believe it is a healthy food, and I feel alert and energetic after I eat it. However, it seems to have some inedible stuff in it. Maybe it's pieces of the hulls -- I don't know, but I'm eating it anyway because I don't have time to find it and remove it. So I end up finding it when my teeth bite down into some hard, gritty stuff, which I estimate to be around 3% of the contents.

Manitoba sources Hemp is always of consistent quality. Price on iHerb is, as usual, lowest I've ever found.
