What do I want others to know about me . In other words, how do I boil down my life into one easy paragraph. I can't do that but the basics are that I'm an adventurous and curious person and I'm always laughing. I've lived in both the US and Australia and I never turn down the opportunity to travel. Family is important to me and I willingly hang out with my parents and sister. My mom has a sick & twisted sense of humour (ask me about the hair cutting prank) and my dad a sarcastic one and I've inherited both so yes, my mind always goes 'there' but I have a very strong filter when the situation calls for it. I grew up camping (in an actual tent) and really do enjoy fishing. In Jr High I took top marks for house wiring (my mom was SO proud) but squeaked through home ec. That being said, I grew up in my family's catering company (black tie level) and I know my way around a kitchen. In uni I focused on my artistic side but I spent the last 10 years working in tech support so you could call me an artistic geek I suppose. I own power tools and I know how to use them!! (keep your mind out of the gutter) I read, a LOT. In fact, I'm probably the only child in history who's parents said "No, you are not allowed to buy more books". Day to day I'm low maintenance and my makeup is limited to moisturiser and Blistex lip balm (gotta keep my skin nice and soft) but I know how to go all out when it's called for. I believe in being straight forward and absolutely hate games.

'Pork choppers' go to work today as feral hog season opens
Coincidentally, on the same day that hunters can begin to scour the skies for doves, hunters in helicopters can take aim down on feral hogs.
A new state law goes into effect today that allows people to pay to hunt hogs from helicopters, or what some have nicknamed "pork choppers."
With the new law, Dustin Johnson, owner of Knox City-based Cedar Ridge Aviation, said his business is changing completely. For three years, landowners have been paying him to get rid of hogs by shooting them from helicopters. Now, he said, hunters will be paying him to shoot hogs.
"I am 100 percent fully booked for September," he said, explaining that he has heli-hunting trips scheduled every day.
To be able to hunt hogs by helicopter requires a state permit as a qualified landowner or landowner's agent, said Steve Lightfoot, a spokesman for the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. To qualify, a person cannot be convicted of a felony or Class A misdemeanor or of the federal Lacey Act, which deals with the illegal transfer of wildlife across state lines.
Helicopter operations must be registered with the state as a wildlife aerial management operation, Lightfoot said. About 130 helicopter services are registered, about 30 more than a year ago, he added.
Johnson said he already has permission from the landowners in Haskell and Knox counties, where most of his hunts take place, and he takes care of the required landowner's agent paperwork.
Safety is his biggest concern, he said, but no training is involved to learn to shoot from the open door of a helicopter.
"I can tell you everything you need to know to shoot out of a helicopter in less than 10 minutes," he said.
"There's zero tolerance on 'no shooting when we say no shooting,'" Johnson said. "If you shoot when we say don't shoot, you're going to find yourself walking — you're kicked out of the helicopter wherever we are."
The helicopter will be banking at times as it flies, Johnson said, and if the helicopter blades are damaged by a shot, the helicopter is going to land "really hard."
As a helicopter flushes hogs out into the open, the pilot maneuvers it into position and tells the hunter when to shoot and when not to shoot.
The helicopter flies about 10 to 20 feet above the ground, and sometimes only 4 to 6 feet.
Hog hunts can last from two hours to all day. Johnson charges $600 per hour with a two-hour minimum. The weapon of choice is the AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle.
Hunting feral hogs by helicopter has helped reduce the hog population, said Russell Flanary, president of Haskell County Hog Control. The association was formed by about 125 landowners who hired Johnson to shoot hogs on their 32,000 acres.
"Before we weren't able to grow milo or anything because of the hogs," Flanary said. "Now we're able to grow milo again. ... We've all tried night hunting, trapping, all types of methods to get rid of hogs, but the helicopter is leaps and bounds better than anything else."
State Rep. Sid Miller, R-Stephenville, who authored the new state law, said hunting via helicopter has proved to be the best means of controlling hogs.
State agencies estimate there are more than 2 million feral hogs in Texas. According to a Texas Department of Agriculture study, each hog causes between $50 and $500 in damage annually to agriculture and wildlife habitats.
It's a statewide issue, Miller said, not just a rural problem. Hogs have been moving into suburban areas and damaging cemeteries, golf courses and parks, not just crops and fences in the country, he said.
"Landowners have been able to get a permit to do a helicopter hunt prior to the passage of this law," Miller said. "What this does is allows the landowner to sell that seat on the helicopter. Instead of being an expense for the landowner, it will generate some income."
Plus, he said, the bill directed the Parks & Wildlife Department to set guidelines and safety regulations for helicopter hunts. The Texas Parks & Wildlife Commission adopted those last week.
After a few months of hunting hogs by helicopter, landowners in Haskell County said they saw a reduction in the number of hogs.
"We used to have pig trails 40- and 50-feet wide crossing the dirt road, now we see three or four tracks" Flanary said. "By no means do we have the amount of hogs we had before."

Video: The Clutters "Run"
A woman so troubled from her past that she runs away from it, only to face it again later in life. This time, she knows she can't run away. So she beats the living crap out of it. Or at least that's what she does in this great video by Nashville-based rock group, The Clutters. Directed by Jay Wade Edwards (Aqua Teen Hunger Force), here's the video from the song, "Run", on The Clutters' latest work, Breaking Bones.

Former Air Force flight nurse Maj. Margaret Witt, of Spokane, and retired nurse, Army Col. Grethe Cammermeyer, of Whidbey Island, both successfully challenged the military's ban on open service by gays and lesbians. They were first in line on Thursday in their home counties to receive their licenses with their partners as the law took effect.
Because the state has a three-day waiting period, the earliest that weddings can take place is Sunday. Cammermeyer will marry Diane Divelbess, her partner of 24 years, at their home in Langley on Sunday. Witt will marry her partner of nine years, Laurie Johnson, on Dec. 15 in Spokane.

University of British Columbia (UBC) researchers announce the creation of a new type of artificial muscles, which they say are just as flexible as an elephant's trunk. At the same time, the constructs are capable of rotating about 1,000 times their own weight.
The UBC team was in charge of coordinating a larger, international team of experts that worked together for this investigation. The collaboration included scientists from the University of Wollongong, in Australia, the University of Texas and Hanyang University, in South Korea.
Details of the investigation appear in the October 13 online issue of the esteemed journal Science Express. According to the team, the new study was a continuation of a previous study, conducted by research fellow Javad Foroughi's team at the University of Wollongong.
The new muscles are made up of carbon nanotubes. This material is very well known for its high flexibility and tremendous toughness and resistance. At some point, there was talk of using it to create an elevator that could take astronauts to low-Earth orbit.
Investigators say that the new CNT bundles are capable of rotating as much as 250 degrees per millimeter of muscle length, which is about 1,000 times more rotation that what can be achieved using any other material on the market today.
The CNT-based strands are therefore stronger and more flexible than artificial muscles made out of conductive organic polymers, ferroelectric materials of shape-memory alloys. Until now, these were considered to be the most efficient constructs of this kind.
"What's amazing is that these barely visible yarns composed of fibers 10,000 times thinner than a human hair can move and rapidly rotate objects two thousand times their own weight," explains UBC Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering associate professor John Madden.
"While not large enough to drive an arm or power a car, this new generation of artificial muscles – which are simple and inexpensive to make – could be used to make tiny valves, positioners, pumps, stirrers and flagella for use in drug discovery, precision assembly and perhaps even to propel tiny objects inside the bloodstream," the expert adds.
The new investigation was supported by funds from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), through a Discovery Grant.

Ritter continued on with the speech and later played down the comment, saying as a Governor he has a lot of critics, including one with a megaphone right there at the ceremony.
About a dozen protesters also lined up outside the stadium before the ceremony, holding up signs criticizing the Governor's policies.

OGJ Pipeline Editor
HOUSTON, Apr. 29 -- Tenaska Capital Management LLC announced Apr. 28 the start of construction of its TPF II East Texas Gathering LLC natural gas gathering system serving the Haynesville shale formation in East Texas. Tenaska said the 110-mile, 24-in. OD system will have a design capacity of more than 1 bcfd of gas. The system will initiate gas deliveries by midyear.
ETG will cross the Texas portion of the Haynesville shale gas formation in Nacogdoches, San Augustine, Sabine, Shelby, and Panola Counties, interconnecting with multiple pipelines in the region.
Energy Transfer Partners also is increasing its Haynesville capacity, announcing earlier in April both US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval of its 2 bcfd Tiger Pipeline interstate transmission project and an extension of its Acadian gas pipeline system. Work on both projects is scheduled for 2011 completion (OGJ, Apr. 19, 2010, Newsletter).
Tenaska Midstream Services LLC is participating in development of a new 16-mile gas gathering line with Superior Appalachian Pipeline LLC to carry gas from wells in Preston County, W.Va., to the Columbia Transmission System, serving markets in Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland. The system can be expanded to connect with the Texas Eastern Transmission interstate pipeline and is expected to be completed during this year's fourth quarter.

Blood in the Urine in Women
First of all, there are some medications and drugs that can change the color of your urine. Some examples of medications that can make your urine red or orange are rifampin, pyridium, phenolphthalein, some laxatives, and vitamins B and C. Foods such as beets, rhubarb and blackberries can turn urine red.
Severe dehydration can also make your urine darker than normal, but it should not cause your urine to be red or brown.
Do you think that a food or medication may be the reason for the color change of your urine?

Epson rolls out two low-cost photo ink jet printers
updated 11:05 am EDT, Tue October 11, 2005
Epson photo printers
Epson today rolled out two new six-color photo printers, the Epson Stylus Photo (shown at right). Both printers offer better color saturation for brighter reds and yellows, and automatic image enhancement for adjusting a photo that is too dark when a subject is backlit. Additionally, both printers can print directly onto the surface of ink jet printable CDs and DVDs, and can print from the center to the edge of a CD or DVD with no visible blank space. The Epson Stylus Photo R220 offers 5760 x 1440 optimized dpi (dots per inch) using ultra fine ink droplets as small as three picoliters. The R220 also provides "BorderFree" printing in frame-ready sizes such as 4 x 6-inch, 5 x 7-inch, 8 x 10-inch, and 8.5 x 11-inch, and can print a 4 x 6-inch lab quality borderless photo in as little as 57 seconds. The R220 uses individual ink cartridges, and is available for $100, while the R340 is priced at $200.
The Epson Stylus Photo R340 is a PC-free printer that incorporates a 2.4-inch LCD preview monitor making it possible to select, crop, and print photos in full color without a connected computer. The R340 features an intuitive control panel with simple on-screen menus, providing selections such as paper type, paper size, and number of copies. A new "print by date" option that finds photos by the date they were taken. The panel also provides views of photos with or without on-screen text, enables viewing and selecting of photos using thumbnails, and enables selection of a range of photos for printing. The R340 prints black documents at 15 ppm (pages per minute), and offers frame-ready borderless images like its counterpart, the R220. The device can also save images to an external CD-R, Zip drive, or Flash memory drive. The R340 supports printing directly from Bluetooth-enabled phones, the Bluetooth adapter is priced at $70.

The entries I've done on the "open-plan" Biochemistry building at Oxford (see also Jim Hu) generated a lot of comments from people who've worked in poorly designed science facilities. I've heard from Linda Wang, a reporter at C&E News, who's writing article on this very subject. She's looking for chemists who are willing to talk about both good and bad experiences working in various building designs, so if you fit that description, feel free to email her at l_wang-at-acs.org (email address de-spammified, just substitute the usual symbol) or give her a call at 202-872-4579.

I worked at Pfizer in the research building built ca year 2000. Best designed research building I've ever worked in. Placed different functions that compose a team proximal to each other on the same floor, has alleys for lab techs to work in, a view to the lab from the lab head's offices, open floor plan that promoted discourse b/w the functions, centralized locations of common spectroscopic tools (NMR, walkup LCMSs, etc).

Hey, you should tell her the pharma industry is in meltdown.
I suppose ACS central is the primary target for all those happy pills that were stolen.
It shows you: Never get high on your own supply.

All across academia, the new trend (well, not new but last decade) is long open-plan labs with bays, each with a sink at the end, and desks at the other end by the window. This layout is preferred by the "powers that be" for many reasons, primarily cost savings... number of investigators/grants per sq. ft. is greater when common resources are shared. It is also easier to "move people around" when funding changes... hey you don't have a grant, give up this bay to someone who does!
The major downside though, is common theft of basic things like glassware. Why buy and clean your own beakers when you can just walk down 2 bays and steal one from another lab. There's no security, especially if the lab-next-door keeps different hours. In 2 years in such a lab, I went through 20+ pairs of glass gel plates. Now in 7 years in a closed-off private lab, we're still on our original set of 5 pairs.
There's also the noise issue - which these days seems to be solved by everyone walking around with their iPods plugged in. Great for interactivity!
Oh, and doing experiments in the dark is impossible, when one switch controls the lighting for 6 bays. Also there's never enough fume hood space, the freezers are packed, and there is always mysterious unwashed glassware in the sink.
Gimme a good old fashioned sealed off private lab any day of the week!

Yet another problem with loong horse stable-like labs is that it takes only one nimrod who splashes himself with a smelly stuff on the bench or or vents the rotovap pump exhaust into lab or insists on playing crappy music full blast, to make everyone else miserable. Also, the air handlers and air temperature controllers are hard to balance in a larger lab - which then produces frigid gusts in one corner of lab while two rows farther people get hot air blowing onto their heads

I know this is obvious and cynical, but I assume that the comfort or effectiveness of the employees/students is not a consideration here. If people cost so much that you're outsourcing as fast as you can, you'd figure that you might want to optimize the productivity of the ones you do have. Silly me.

Hey, I don't care what the buildings like, I'll work in a tent if that's where the jobs are!!

IT people reckon that the working environment, mostly whether it is quiet enough to allow people to concentrate on the task at hand, makes about a factor two difference in the productivity of most employees, and in many cases a lot more than that. I guess it would be about the same for scientists.
My experience is that managers who crowd people together in shared or open-plan offices for the (official) purpose of building team spirit, usually achieve exactly the opposite: To get any work done in such a place, you have to focus on locking others out mentally. L'enfer c'est l'autres.

In everything, there is a sign,
Which proves to the unity of Allah
Wondering then: How can people disobey God?
Or how can a denier reject God?
To Allah, in every move,
And in every halt always a witness.
The following aspects offer a wider perspectives and plain in proving the unity and Oneness of Allah: (1) The natural phenomena
(2) Different aspects of divine laws.
(3) The rationale of life
(4) Logic or common sense.
(5) Reaching to conclusion from the Names and Attributes of Allah. These aspects clearly prove the existence of Allah and exemplify the three basic concepts of Islamic Monotheism (Oneness of Allah), as mentioned earlier, which correlate with one another. Therefore, ascribing partner with Allah in any one of the three above-mentioned concepts, is tantamount to committing polytheism in all other concepts as well. For instance, If a person seeks Dua'a (supplication) from other than Allah is considered a kind of worship and clearly an act of Shirk or polytheism with Allah in His worship. In this context, invoking others (persons or things) than Allah is like seeking their intermediation and believing that they (intermediaries) can interfere and recommend to Allah on behalf of the supplicant and fulfill...

Polo Blue Sport by Ralph Lauren
Polo Ralph Lauren is not just a brand, it's a whole world. When it comes to Men's fashion, Ralph Lauren stands in the front row. The Polo Blue Sport Fragrance by Ralph Lauren is awesome. If we take a look, at the design, it is kind of a simple square with curvy top edges and the cap is golden in color whereas the bottle is white with two blue and one red stripe, in the middle is standard side Polo logo in Golden color matching the cap. The bottle looks tempting and the fragrance – it takes it all. Polo Blue Sport is a must have fragrance for men in 2014.

All the perfumes are best for men but I would say, always choose the perfumes which suits to your personality and reflect your mood.
Great list you have here. I just recently tried out Paco Rabanne 1 Million Intense and couldn't get over the bubblegum candy smell. Love that you included Azzaro, Joop, L'eau d'Issey and Mont Blanc. All of those are some good selling, popular fragrances. Bvlgari designs some fantastic aquatics!

Reconsideration Appeal - what makes it different from the Disability Application
I thought I'd address this question because I've been asked about it before in the past and I've come across it several times in forums that are either devoted to the discussion of disability issues or the discussion of a particular medical impairment.
Answer: not a whole lot. Reconsiderations constitute the first appeal that is available to individuals who file for social security disability or SSI disability benefits (excluding individuals who live in the SSA boston region, where the DSI program has replaced "reconsideration" with "federal review"----I don't comment that much on federal review because it is very debatable as to whether or not DSI, aka Disability Service Improvement, will transfer to the rest of the country or simply be phased out as a failed experiment).
How is a reconsideration handled or conducted? In brief, it goes like this: if a claimant who has been denied on an application for disability benefits files a request for reconsideration within the required time period (you are given sixty days plus an additional five days for mailing time for a total of 65 days), then their file will be assigned to a new disability examiner. This examiner will be someone who specializes in reconsiderations, but, nonetheless, does the job in exactly the same manner as the initial claim examiner who preceded him. That is, medical evidence will be gathered as needed and an evaluation based on this evidence will be performed.
Reconsiderations are denied at a significantly higher rate than initial claims. But this should not be surprising if you consider how it would look if reconsiderations were more often approved than they currently are. For the most part, it would be a repudiation of denials that occurred at the initial claim level only several weeks earlier. It would be tantamount to saying "We made a mistake when we denied you on your application three weeks ago. Now we think you qualify for disability". Of course, that will never happen and the likelihood will be that first appeals (reconsiderations) will always have a high rate of denial as long as the agency that conducts first appeals is the same agency that processes initial disability claims.
Should you request a reconsideration if your application for disability gets denied? Yes, most certainly. But you should do it with this in mind. Even though only about 15 percent of reconsiderations get approved, you still want to file a reconsideration because this puts you on the road to getting a disability hearing before an ALJ (administrative law judge) scheduled. In other words, you are not allowed to request a disability hearing until your reconsideration gets denied (and, as we said, most, unfortunately, do).
What are your chances of winning disability at a hearing? Far better than at a reconsideration. Roughly half of all cases that are heard by judges at hearings are approved.
The only real downside to disability hearings is how incredibly long it can take to get a hearing scheduled. But it is for this reason that you should not waste any time in requesting a hearing (or a reconsideration for that matter).

PROVIDENCE – All Charles Correa kept thinking about was the next shot – even on a night in which his touch was off.
The sophomore point guard may have fired at a 5-of-21 clip in St. Raphael's 68-60 win over a feisty West Warwick squad Monday night, but that's not the impression Tom "Saar" Sorrentine will take away. To the veteran head coach, the lasting memory is the two timely 3-pointers Correa drained on back-to-back possessions, two clutch baskets that carried the day for SRA in its quarterfinal victory in the open state tournament at the Providence Career & Technical Academy Fieldhouse.
Correa's first 3-ball reclaimed the lead for the Saints at 56-54 after the Wizards' Chuck Dalton hit a layup to put his team up 54-53. West Warwick scored to knot things at 56-all before Correa let fly a three in front of St. Raphael's bench that splashed in with 3:40 left. Correa's shots clearly ignited the Saints, who held the Wizards to one field goal in the final three minutes.
"I still had faith in my shot, so I just kept on shooting," said Correa, who finished with a game-high 17 points. "I was feeling it on those two shots."
"Shooters have got to keep shooting," interjected Sorrentine as he walked off the court. "He was taking shots so they wouldn't get blocked instead of drawing fouls. He had a nightmare game, but he made key shots in the end."
SRA advances to the round-of-four, set for Friday night at URI's Ryan Center. For the third straight game the Saints opponent will hail from Division II, after North Providence knocked off No. 1 seed Cranston West, 70-69. Austin Van Bemmelen reversed a shot in with 5.1 seconds remaining to provide the margin of victory for the Cougars.
Correa was one of four Saints to hit for double figures. Joining him were Trevor Vasey (12 points), Jordan Peguero (10) and Cesar Mejia (10). Max Montroni led the Wizards with 16 points.
"I wanted to go the Ryan Center last year but we weren't good enough," said Correa. "I believe that this is our year."
The game tightened dramatically in the second half, as the fifth seeded Saints were unable to shake themselves of the Wizards, seeded 12th. SRA's greatest lead was four points (on two occasions) while West Warwick started the half on a 7-2 run to go up 42-40.
St. Raphael jumped out to a 9-0 lead four minutes in before getting buried under an avalanche of whistles. Peguero became the first Saint to get tagged with two fouls. He soon had company in Mejia, who picked up his second personal at 12:03.
West Warwick, which upset fourth-seeded Coventry Friday night, shook off a rough start move to within two points on a couple of occasions. Matroni and John Morrison served as the primary catalysts, the pair combining for 21 first-half points and five 3-pointers. Morrison buried his third triple of the stanza right before halftime to pull W.W. to within 38-35.
"We couldn't get away because we had to sit guys out," said Sorrentine.
St. Raphael tightened up its perimeter defense in the second half, holding West Warwick to just one make from downtown.
"We let them get open in the first half. Every time we went to a new defense they seemed to have clean looks," said Sorrentine. "(In the second half) we just kept switching guys off because we had to."
The Saints played the final 6:15 of the opening stanza minus Vasey after the senior picked up his second and third fouls within 31 seconds. On Vasey's third foul it appeared Ben Pillsbury was guilty, but the three-man referee crew saw differently.
SRA's bench helped offset the loss of Vasey. A 3-ball from Terrence Manning gave SRA a 29-23 lead while Peguero wound up scoring eight points on 4-of-4 shooting from the foul line. The Saints wound up getting 16 points from their reserves in the first 16 minutes.
WEST WARWICK (60): Jerome Carpenter-Vargas 0 0-0 0, Kyle Brown 0 2-2 2, Shykeel Colon 0 0-0 0, Max Montroni 5 3-4 16, Korey Clark 1 3-4 5, John Morrison 4 0-0 11, Chuck Dalton 5 1-2 11, Ryan Lawton 5 4-4 14, Elijah Saintfleur 0 0-0 0, Cory Thibault 0 1-2 1. Totals: 20 14-18 60.
ST. RAPHAEL (68): Cesar Mejia 4 1-3 10, Trevor Vasey 5 1-2 12, Jazz Robinson 1 0-0 2, Charles Correa 5 4-4 17, Ben Pillsbury 2 0-2 4, Terrence Manning 1 1-2 4, Franklin Batista 0 1-2 1, Jordan Peguero 2 6-6 10, Davon Robertson 4 0-0 8. Totals: 24 14-21 68.
Halftime: SRA 38-35.
Three-point field goals: WW 6 (Max Montroni 3, John Morrison 3); SRA 6 (Charles Correa 3, Cesar Mejia, Trevor Vasey, Terrence Manning).

Preheat oven to 350° . Lightly grease medium baking dish. Season chicken with garlic salt. Arrange in prepared baking dish. Bake 45 minutes in preheated oven, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Cool, shred, and set aside. With metal tongs, char each tortilla half over open flame of a gas stove burner for about 1 minute, until lightly puffed. *To skip the charring step, simply tear tortillas into fourths so they absorb sauce better. Pour about 1/2 inch enchilada sauce in bottom of medium baking dish, and arrange 6 tortillas in a single layer. Top with 1/2 the chicken, 1/3 cheese, 1/2 the sour cream, and 1/3 of the remaining enchilada sauce. Repeat. Coat remaining tortillas thoroughly with remaining enchilada sauce, and arrange on top of the layers. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, and top with any remaining enchilada sauce. Cover, and bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool slightly before serving.

John Malcolm Penn follows his previous Blue Night Records release (Hangtown Fry) with yet another gem, Driftin' River. Once more this California-based songwriter has put together a collection of original tunes that cements his reputation as a serious storyteller. On this musical outing, we get a further glimpse into the folksy and homespun world of Mr. Penn. He played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and wrote all the songs. These real-life stories and tributes, with musical notes attached, are not only entertaining, but thought-provoking as well. Driftin' River also contains several instrumentals that are a real plus, and serve to keep the mood rolling. So we invite you to drift along with this exciting new release from Blue Night Records, as John Malcolm Penn takes you on another journey of the heart.
STEVE SPURGIN'S "Folk Remedies" has been released. It is now available from Elderly Instruments (Elderly.com), and copies in disc and download formats will very soon be available from CDBaby.com, Amazon.com, and other conventional retail and electronic outlets.Pre-release orders are now available from Elderly Instruments (Elderly.com), and post-release copies and downloads will soon be offered by CDBaby, Amazon.com, and many other conventional retail outlets. We recorded it at The Parlor Studio in Nashville (thanks again to engineer John Saylor for a great job), with the able assistance of Jim Hurst (guitar) and Missy Raines (upright bass). Mixing and mastering were done by Eric Uglum at New Wine Sound Studio in Apple Valley, California (thanks Eric --- you went above and beyond).
This man is a journeyman folk singer. He has a beautiful voice and is a gifted songwriter. From the hundreds of songs he sent us, we selected twelve. Each is a gem. I guess we "rediscovered" John in some ways, and we're just amazed that the world has not yet had the pleasure of experiencing his genius. For "Hangtown Fry" John wrote all the songs, sang all the parts, and played all the instruments. Welcome to Blue Night Records, John. We're very proud you're with us.
DAN CRARY and THUNDERATION is Dan's newest sound fusion ensemble, and the amazing music just keeps flowing. This time Dan has partnered with long time friend and musical comrade, singer/songwriter Steve Spurgin, as well as power hitters Don Stiernberg (mandolin), John Reischman (mandolin), and Keith Little (banjo, mandolin). Also adding sparkle and creativity are the up and coming Luke Dewhirst (banjo) and Martin Stevens (fiddle). The approach is fresh, yet remains fully grounded in American roots music. "PERFECT STORM" is simply Dan Crary at his best.
Acclaimed solo outing from bluegrass veteran and former Byron Berline & California member Spurgin, with a handpicked slate of all-star studio buddies: Dobro ace Rob Ickes, Swiss luminaries Uwe and Jens Kruger, mandolinist Adam Steffey and bassist Rusty Holloway. Ten Spurgin originals plus John Malcolm Penn's "Sasquatch" and Gordon Lightfoot's "Song for a Winter's Night".
Click here for Steve's radio interview on the Prescription Bluegrass show.

Three thematic components: (1) an examination of the lyric form and mythology, (2) exploration of the dramatic form, and (3) an examination of the American Dream. Each is addressed and developed within a social critical perspective that resonates with many of the playwright's major works.
A Streetcar Named Desire
Broken Worlds
At first glance, Eugene ONeills The Hairy Ape and Tennessee Williams A Streetcar Named Desire do not seem to have anything in common. Close scrutiny, however, reveals several provocative parallels. This lesson provides a variety of options for conducting comparative analysis between the plays.

Women's Tennis Takes on Cincinnati in Sunday Matinée
April 11, 2014
CHICAGO – The 39th-ranked DePaul women's team hosts Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon for its second-to-last regular season match of the year.
The contest between the Blue Demons (17-3) and Bearcats (9-11) is slated for 1 p.m.
DePaul saw its 16-match winning streak come to an end last weekend when it dropped back-to-back matches at No. 26 Rice, 6-1, and No. 33 Houston, 4-2. During the streak, the Blue Demons climbed as high as No. 25 in the ITA National Poll.
Despite the two team setbacks last weekend, senior Kelsey Lawson hit an individual milestone in the match at Houston. Her 7-5, 7-6 over Maria Andrea Cardenas in the No. 4 position gave her 100 wins in her sparkling career as a Blue Demon. Lawson is 100-50 overall, going 27-15 as a freshman, 21-15 as a sophomore, 28-11 her junior year and 24-9 so far as a senior this season.
This year, Lawson is one of four Blue Demons who has held a double-digit winning streak in dual play. Also on the list is Rebeca Mitrea, Zaina Sufi and Jasmin Kling.
The Blue Demons and Bearcats last met exactly one year ago Sunday. DePaul emerged with a convincing 6-1 victory at Cincinnati that day.
Following the Cincinnati match, DePaul will have just one regular season match left before the BIG EAST Championships on April 24-27. That match comes on April 19 against Marquette in Chicago.

"What's hot in B2B marketing?" I recently asked my colleague JD.
"Video," JD replied without hesitation.
I smiled, because I have been writing video scripts for over 30 years ever since I worked in marketing communications for a large defense contractor in the late 70s.
Back then, people had more time and greater attention spans than they do today, so many of our videos ran 10 to 12 minutes.
A few were longer. We had an introductory video to educate new employees and others about the company that was 23 minutes long.
TS, my boss, told me he had wanted Burgess Meredith to narrate it.
But Meredith was anti-war and would not work with a defense company.
Back in the day, production standards for marketing videos were higher than they are today.
All our videos were shot by professional crews using professional equipment.
Because of this, TS had a rule: the videos we did had to be of a production quality that matched or came close to what the prospect saw on TV.
Today anyone with a cell phone thinks he can shoot an acceptable video.
Because of that and YouTube, today's prospects are much more forgiving of middling quality in marketing videos posted on the web. Some marketers even say videos that look home-made actually pull better than those that are "slick".
Many of my corporate clients tell me, as if it were an indisputable fact, that no one on Earth will watch a video longer than 3 minutes today.
Yet many of my direct marketing clients in financial and health care routinely ask me to write video salesletters that are 20 to 25 minutes, and these videos generate higher conversion rates than static landing pages. So much for "indisputable" facts.
You see, when someone tells you a "fact" about marketing like "no one reads copy anymore", they are almost always basing it on their subjective opinion and personal preferences, yet they proclaim it as the gospel truth. Their mistake.
Copywriter PB once told me: "Never let personal preference get in the way."
For example: I strongly dislike sweepstakes direct mail packages. And I throw them away the instant I get them.
But does my throwing them away have any bearing on whether they work? Of course not.
If you are a direct marketer—someone whose marketing generates a measurable response—as so many online marketers are these days, it's easy enough to test and know for a fact what works. You don't have to leave it to opinion.
One client, the marketing director of a software company, had a rule for the direct mail packages we produced. She said, "Always have a picture of a bearded programmer on page one of the letter."
This, however, was not her subjective opinion. They tested this multiple times, and adding the photo always lifted response. Why? Well, their target market was programmers, so perhaps this helped them relate to the letter writer.
This brings up a broader principle: People buy from people they like, and they like people who are like them. Therefore, it makes sense to have the copy written in the voice of and signed by someone who is a member of your target audience. For instance, if you are sending an e-mail to nurses, have the e-mail coming from a nurse.
Bob Bly is the author of "World's Best Copywriting Secrets" and has written copy for more than 100 companies including IBM, Boardroom, Medical Economics and AT&T. He is the author of more than 75 books and a columnist for Target Marketing, Early To Rise and The Writer. McGraw-Hill calls him "America's top copywriter".

Shunned and Dangerous is the third in the Amish Mystery series by Laura Bradford. Claire Weatherly left the corporate world behind and used her nest egg to purchase Heavenly Treasures, a gift shop that sells Amish-made goods in Heavenly, Pa. While on an outing to a local corn maze, Claire happens upon the body of Harley Zook, a kind-hearted Amish man who unfortunately made a few enemies. She quickly calls handsome detective Jakob Fisher, who has been shunned by the Amish community for leaving to pursue a career with the police force. Unfortunately, the man most upset by Jakob's shunning is his father, Mose, who has become the prime suspect. Claire is determined to help Jakob and begins to investigate on her own. Soon other suspects emerge, and Claire finds herself unraveling a puzzle as complex as a corn maze.
Shunned and Dangerous is a cozy mystery with plenty to keep the reader enthralled. Bradford creates a plucky heroine and pleasant, friendly supporting characters, including her good friend Esther, a young Amish woman who works in her store and makes hand-made gifts to sell. Bradford is familiar with the Amish way of life and includes cultural tidbits about the community that the reader may not know. The mystery is solid, with enough clues and suspects to keep a reader guessing. The novel is quaint and light, never gory or shocking, and readers looking for a gentle read for a warm spring day need look no further. Readers who enjoy this may want to also read Hearse and Buggy and Assaulted Pretzel, the first two novels in the series.

How to Make Zucchini Noodles with a Peeler
How to make zucchini noodles: Ribbons of zucchini slightly cooked in olive oil and served over a bed of whole wheat pasta with Parmesan sauce.
Inspired by a lot of zucchinis in our yard every year (doesn't everyone who gardens have a ton of zucchinis?) and simply a great way to teach kids how to eat zucchini, we make this recipe in the Coughlin home year round.
Do you know how to turn your vegetables into lovely noodles? It's so easy and your kids can do it quickly with a good vegetable peeler!
It's also a great technique for making ribbons with any summer squash, cucumbers, and melons. YUM!
By taking the beautiful zucchini from the garden, you peel the zucchini until you get to the center. (Then compost the center part or put into a soup! Or feed to your chickens!)
So easy for the kids to take part in, too.
And then there's "yard beans" pickin', too. We're still harvesting ours.
Make your garlicky white sauce. Add the parmesan cheese and season to taste.
In olive oil, barely cook the zucchini to tender in a hot pan. Do NOT overcook.
Mix the two together and ENJOY!
We like to add chicken and whole wheat pasta.
Makes a nice presentation and is tasty beyond belief. Especially with garden tomatoes and fresh basil-ly yard beans. Mm-m-m ….
What do you do with extra zucchini from your garden? Or do you have a favorite atumn zucchini recipe?
Zucchini Noodles with Parmesan Sauce
Yield: 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes

- Heat a large skillet and add the olive oil and ribbons. Saute for approx. 2-3 minutes; do not overcook. Salt and pepper to taste.
- In a saucepan, saute the pressed garlic in olive oil. Add the whipping cream, turn the heat to high, and sir until it begins to boil.

My oldest keeps begging me to make this again! We love it!! :)

I thought this was such a clever use of zucchini in your book! We love to make breads and a zucchini chocolate chip cake with an orange glaze — yum!
- #3
These look delicious and pretty easy! Zucchini is one of my favorite summer vegies. I love it steamed in the microwave with a little butter. Yum!
- #4
Love. It.
- #5
I've made 'zucchini noodles' for a salad,…I'll try this recipe soon. Sounds tasty.
- #6
I made this for dinner tonight. I served it without pasta or chicken. Everyone except for my 10 year old loved it. She started crying as soon as she saw it! Oh well, we will definitely be serving this on a regular basis.
- #7
umm. parmesan sauce? i might just die and go to heaven. sounds oh so good. yum.
- #8
Sandy, you did it again!!! Fabulous!! I'd never have thought of it. Plus, it's extra helpful as we enjoy pasta, but are eliminating wheat from our diets as much as possible for the health benefits (see the book 'Wheat Belly'). And your photos are gorgeous!!! Thank you! I'm pinning this right now!
- #9
What a stunning dish! Not only delicious, but beautifully prepared! Thanks for sharing!
- #10
How brilliant! I love it! Will try.
- #11
I have got to try this one. Our family loves zucchini but we usually just throw it on the grill. This looks tasty as a winter comfort food… all that yummy looking creamy sauce.
- #12
This looks like a fantstic way to convince kids that their vegetables are cool and good to eat, especially with parmesan cheese.
- #13
Gorgeous Summer produce – love this recipe!!
- #14
Usually too tired to cook, a former favourite pastime. But tonight I took freshly picked Zucchini and made a lovely Ratatouille dish with rustic bread on the side, mopping up the garlicky juices. Mmmmmm!

For the sake of this movie's scenario, she pretends to be a maid who takes it in the ass. She's not a maid. In fact, her parents always complained she didn't clean her room and never did dishes. That's not really very important though, since she loves getting fucked in the ass on film.

Yellow Rice with Pigeon Peas
IngredientsFor Sofrito:
- 1 Cubanelle pepper (Italian frying pepper), seeded and chopped
- 5 fresh ají dulce (small sweet chiles), halved and seeded
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
- 3 fresh recao leaves (culantro; see cooks' note, below), chopped
- 1 plum tomato, chopped
For rice:
- 1 (1/4-pound) piece smoked ham, diced
- 1/4 cup annatto oil
- 1/3 cup chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
- 1 tablespoon drained bottled capers
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 1 (15-ounce) can pigeon peas, rinsed and drained
- 3 1/2 cups water
PreparationMake Sofrito:
Purée all sofrito ingredients in a food processor.
Make rice:
Cut out a round of parchment or wax paper slightly larger than diameter of a wide 4- to 5-quart pot.
Pat ham dry and cook in annatto oil in pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until starting to crisp, about 4 minutes. Add sofrito, olives, and capers and cook, stirring, until liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until it sizzles, about 2 minutes.
Stir in peas, water, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, over medium-high heat until almost all of liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes, reducing heat to medium once water is below level of rice.
Gently stir from bottom to top, then smooth top of rice. Place parchment round directly over rice and cover pot with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce heat to low and cook, undisturbed, 30 minutes.
Remove from heat, then discard parchment and gently fluff rice with a fork. Cover with lid and let stand 10 minutes.
Cooks' notes: Pork can be marinated up to 3 days.

I've introduced Brock elsewhere on this forum but I decided a journal might be the best way to record all this as he's coming back into work next week.
A bit of background: when I got him he quickly proved to be lacking in social skills with both people and other horses. Despite that, he's a very quick learner and super clever. I couldn't leave him tied without supervision as he'd undo his rope or unclip himself. His main aims are to stand around eating and avoid work at all cost. He is also very interested in mares, territorial and aggressive toward geldings and stallions.
In saying all this, he has come on heaps since I did daily groundwork sessions with him. He now will follow me at my shoulder (he was dreadful to lead at first), if I put his headcollar on I only need to lay the rope over a fence rail and he stands til I ask him to move. Rugging, grooming and saddling are now simple rather than an extreme sport.
When I saw him on Saturday to my surprise he saw me, slowly walked up to the fence, put his muzzle near my ear and just nuzzled gently for a few seconds before stepping back. I stopped him from nudging and other rude behaviour early on but this wasn't rude or demanding, it was just a nice hello.
He's a lot more settled out in the country so I'm really looking forward to starting proper work next week. I'll start with some groundwork to make sure he remembers what he learned before then do some simple straightness work, get him forward, and then turns. His lateral mouth is fairly insensitive after a spell so I'll get him listening to that too so my one rein stop is working. Otherwise things can get a bit scary when he objects and goes for a buck...

Three-Stay One-Stray offers a low-threat forum where students can exchange ideas and build social skills such as asking probing questions. It also offers students the opportunity to learn by teaching. Placing the report-out responsibility on the students reinforces the valuable concept that knowledge resides within the learning community, not just with the "authority-figure," the instructor. Perhaps its greatest value lies in its efficiency. Instead of, for example, ten sequenced five-minute reports to the entire class (fifty minutes, plus transition time), individual students are simultaneously giving five-minute reports throughout the room.
Like "Stand Up and Share," this structure requires the easy identification of a team member who will become the group's spokesperson. It too builds on another structure, such as Structured Problem Solving, but in this case the topics can be far more complex. After the problem solving discussions are complete and all team members indicate that they can give the team's report, the teacher designates the student from each team who will "stray." That is, one student from each group (such as the "Number One" or the "Diamond") leaves it and rotates to an adjoining team to give the report. In large classes it is essential that the order of rotation is clear. Playing cards work particularly well because the "Aces" know to rotate to the "Twos," the "Jacks" to the Queens," and so forth. The teacher can also designate the rotation of the folders (The yellow Kings' spokesperson rotates the blue Ace team, etc.)
The designated student, who is welcomed as a visitor, shares with this new team the results of his original group's discussion, giving proposed solutions to problems or summarizing discussions. As a sponge activity, the team can share with the visitor their report. Additional rotations may be desirable if the topic prompted divergent thinking and solutions. Three rotations allow a variety of reports and give the spokespersons practice time.
Three rotations are also helpful for accountability. When the straying visitor returns to the home team, the three team members can one-by-one summarize the reports they heard from the three other teams.

I just read 6 pages of the thread "Why I like Foobar..." WOW!! You guys are really sold on this thing! That's great. I haven't yet had time to absorb everything about it, but I have also heard some great things about MediaMonkey. Could someone briefly give me a pro/con between the two? Are they comparable?
My main need right now is ripping my 300+ CD collection to play from my computer as well as sync to a Creative Zen Vision M, and another portable player.
What do you all recommend?
(Hopefully I won't get "skinned" for even asking the question... )

I prefer foobar2000 to MM because of the many panels.ui stilish interfaces you can apply to It. With exception of Beoplayer from Bang and Olufssen, wich have the best user interface in the world, no other audioplayer can compare with foobar2000 in this aspect.

NEWTON, Mass.-- Freshman Stephen Petrin (Vernon, Conn.) snapped a 2-2 tie with just under three minutes remaining to lift Lasell to a 4-2 Great Northeast Athletic Conference men's soccer victory over Suffolk Wednesday afternoon at Taylor Field.
Junior Zach Gagne (Somerset, Mass.) had given the host Lasers (4-4, 2-1 Great Northeast) a 1-0 lead at the break with an unassisted tally in the 17th minute of play, but sophomore Peter Missouri (Moss, Germany) evened matters for the visiting Rams (3-3, 1-2 Great Northeast) with an unassisted marker of his own in the 58th minute. Junior Joseph Acuek (Lincoln, Mass.) gave Lasell the lead back at 2-1 in the 71st minute with an unassisted goal, but sophomore Nick Celia (Hanson, Mass.) forged another tie for Suffolk with his fourth tally of the season, an unassisted score with 6:18 remaining. Petrin then netted the game-winner for the hosts with 2:37 to play in the contest and gave the Lasers an insurance marker with 25 seconds remaining to account for the final score.
Sophomore Julian Dutton (Madison, Conn.) picked up the win in goal for Lasell with an eight-save effort, while freshman Jack DeJesus (Swampscott, Mass.) made a career-high 12 stops in net for Suffolk as the Lasers outshot the Rams by a 19-12 margin for the match.
Suffolk heads to Nashua, N.H. on Saturday afternoon to take on Daniel Webster in a Great Northeast outing that begins at Noon, while Lasell heads to Providence, R.I. on Saturday afternoon to square off with Johnson & Wales in a Great Northeast contest that begins at 1:00 p.m.
