Mkay, so you know we moved, right? Yeah, right, like anybody missed that one. That's been the MJ's funeral of my life for, what, ten years now? Well, it feels like it to me… prolly it feels the same to you too. But wait, there's more! Because, at the very same time, my sister and her hubby and the delightful Kaybug are also moving. To Florida. To Lakeland, even. What a coinkydink! So, not only am I living my own personal moving angst, I'm living theirs too! Yay! And, with a ten year old in the mix, I'm learning up-close what you deal with when you move a child. And I'm really glad that I don't have that to deal with on my own. Really. Glad.
The big difference? Schools. And it's a really big difference. Because the Florida school system is way ahead of TN. Like majorly ahead. Like entire skillsets ahead. Because my niece is starting 5th grade this year and she's never been introduced to writing stories or essays. At all. But in Florida, because of Florida Writes, Fourth Graders had to test on this skill on the FCAT. TCAPS? Readin' and 'rithmatic only for fourth graders, thankyeverymuch! No ritin' needed yet, because I guess forging Oxy and Hydro prescriptions only takes a few words… they can pick those up in 5th grade… right? Sad that of the two states, only Florida sees the need to start preparing kids for silly things like, oh, I don't know… THE SAT??? But, anyway, because of this deficiency my precious niece (and everybody else in our house) is having to endure summer tutoring. And from the sound of the coaching lessons, apparently somebody should call DHS because summer tutoring is undoubtedly child abuse of the highest level. Actually, I'm thinking my sister and her hubby are both qualified for jobs at Abu Ghraib, because their torture skills with this homework stuff are right up there with thumb screws and waterboarding – simultaneously. Apparently, also from the protestations we keep hearing, this is something so horrible that no other child in the ENTIRE WORLD has ever had to do this. Go figure. My niece is living a colossal parent fail. Poor thing. I know I feel sorry for her. Not.
But, lest you think the academics are the biggest difference, there's more. Like the county-wide uniform code. FTW! Just ask my sister and my Mom. Finally… school shopping with an cheaper and easier button! Just pick up some khakis, a skort or two, a few polos and cotton shirts, and you're done! It's garanimals – for everybody! Yay! And, before you start blathering about expense or personal style, just STFU! First of all, uniforms cost considerably less than regular clothes. Really. Don't believe me? Head over to Justice, or the Hannah Montana section of Wal-Mart. Then go look in their tiny uniform section. And that's my point exactly. $7.99 for pants. $5.99 for polos. Damn. As for stifling young Einstein's creativity by forcing him to conform in his dress code? I feel that this is the point that I will respectfully suggest that a better outlet for your little budding quirky genius's abundant creativity would be art or music, or science. You know, something useful. Not his perfectly coiffed faux-hawk or his ohsostylish fake Christian Audigier teeshirt with the fake tattoos. And, no, with this I am not saying that the perfectly coordinated Gymbo combo isn't just the bomb, but now my Thi Thi will be able to save it for the weekends, not see it ruined on the frickin' playground. I, for one, think this rocks! And, furthermore, color me, as an unreformed feminist, happy as hell that my niece (a very smart little girl who has carried straight A's all the way thru school so far) will never again run the risk of receiving as her superlative "Best Dressed". WTF? And yes, she got that award the year she read more books than any kid in her class, and achieved more AR points than any other child. Way to go school system! That's how you reinforce the message that being smart is cool… er, um, yeah. Lucky for her teachers that it wasn't my child. Because I know without any doubt that the day they handed out those awards would have been the day I became "that mother". Another thing my child I didn't have can be thankful for.
But wait, after all those sunshine and rainbows, there's even more! As in less. Because in the Nirvana called Polk Co. Schools, there is no four mile long supply list, kept in a deep dark secret place until the first day of school… after tax free days are long over and done. Yeah. Amazingly, the magical lists down here are already out. Released ahead of time, so you can shop the sales. And almost too good to be true, all 6 levels of Elementary School are printed on one page. I know, seriously, WTF? How can this be? But they are. And even more astounding? No toilet paper, paper towels, or hand sanitizer (in the convenient 72 gallon jug). Nope, nothing on this magical list other than actual school supplies. Like pencils. And paper. I know this is almost revolutionary today, but we were told by a school administrator that the Superintendent of Schools in Polk Co. was the one who spearheaded this move. She was the one who said that no supply list for any grade should cost more than $10 per kid. I know, crazy. But it's a good crazy, and I like it. Because I've looked at my niece's ever-lengthening list from her east TN school each year, and the activities fee they paid on top of that, and I've always been amazed that the schools can get away with it. And I've just got to ask how long schools think they can get away with asking parents to provide virtually all of the disposable supplies required to educate children, and also continue to pay taxes that are supposed to do just that. Because I've seen upclose the quality of that education. And it's sad. To see a diplomaholder of 18 who isn't prepared to do anything really. Other than, of course, an amazingly fruitful career that includes the words "you want fries with that?".
And after all this, my only thoughts now are thank you Jeebus for making all of us move. Oh, my niece isn't too happy about it right now, but she'll adjust. And she'll come out of a public school with a college-bound background, prepared for the world, if she keeps up her current education work ethic. Which is as it should be. And I know that east Tennessee is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places on Earth, it is always going to be my home. But you have to see there's a problem if the only way you can ensure that your child is going to be ready and able to go to college is to pay for a private school education. We did. She is. But we shouldn't have to. And before you start getting all statisticky on me, I know that Florida schools are not perfect. I'm well aware that they have virtually all the societal issues that Tennessee schools are dealing with. But they're doing something right down here. Maybe they're making Education more of a priority? I don't know, but I'm glad they're doing it, whatever it is.
Yay them! Yay us! And most importantly, yay Kaybug! You'll do great… I know… remember, you're just like your Aunt Missy! God help you.

Skaneateles The Skaneateles girls varsity hockey team is coming to the end of their season, hoping and intending to win their playoff games and end up state champs.
"We started a little rough, but now we're back on track," said team co-captain Nina Elia, a senior at Skaneateles High School.
"We're definitely going to be in the playoffs," said co-assistant captain, Madison Singler, a Skaneateles sophomore.
The team currently has a 2-5-3 record, with playoffs schedules for Feb. 1 and 2.
The girls varsity hockey team is a unique part of the Skaneateles school district athletic program because it is one of only three school-sponsored girls hockey teams in all of Central New York, along with Ithaca and Oswego. The team, in fact, is composed not just of players from Skaneateles, but from six other CNY school districts as well.
"It's kind of unique this year," said Lady Lakers' head coach Mike Major, who also works as assistant Skaneateles High School principal. "We combine with other school districts, but this year we're about half and half: half Skaneateles players and half from other schools. But the number of outside players will probably go down as the years go on because a lot of younger girls are playing this sport."
This is actually only the third year the Lady Lakers have been a district-sponsored varsity athletic team.
The first-ever girls ice hockey team was formed in Skaneateles about eight years ago as the Skaneateles Youth Hockey Association Under-12 team. At that time, the SYHA was comprised of boys teams, on which girls could play.
The first girls team started with eight players, ages 8 through 12, and interest in the team increased rapidly.
"By that first season's end, an additional five players joined and the girls program was well on its way to becoming a permanent part of SYHA. The girls team took only a few short years to earn the respect of the association and other associations around the state and Canada, as it won sectional titles three years in a row and took the championship at the Ottawa tournament several years in a row," according to a brief history of the team written by Sue Dove, former president of the Skaneateles Girls Hockey Booster Club.

A Must Read! Popular culture sends mixed messages about what makes a man masculine or a woman feminine. Is it a suit, high heels, a fancy car, a clean house? In his new book Fully Alive: A Biblical Vision of Gender That Frees Men and Women to Live Beyond Stereotypes, Dr. Larry Crabb encourages the reader to put aside cultural notions of masculinity and femininity to look at what God had in mind when he created humans as male and female.
In Fully Alive, Dr. Larry Crabb suggests that God has created humans as male and female to reveal unique and important aspects of how God relates with his created beings. Interspersed with personal stories and examples from his thirty years as a psychologist, Crabb explores what it means to be a man who embraces masculinity or a woman who embraces femininity.

"The new album is based around songwriting. It's very R&B, but not completely," she says. "I always have to push it again. You won't hear the heavy guitars anymore - you will hear a really nice sound from me."
Like 'Turn Me Loose,' expect Ledisi to diversify into different sounds and genres of music.
"This album is so much easier because I had the experience with 'Turn Me Loose'," she says. "Now, I'm so into songwriting - it made it seem so easy. Now, I've learned to take a song and exhaust every possibility. It's good to go everywhere around the world (with songwriting) to come back. Sometimes (the final one) is good, but the first one is better. It's exhausting, but worth it. I feel like I've done everything with that song."
Look out for Ledisi's new album later this year.

Motorcycle Skills Assessment Course (MSA)
$795 + Tax
Need to know more? Click here for the Extended Program Preview!
PRS teaches you to become a rider who is knowledgeable, responsible and most importantly in control of your motorcycle. We start from the absolute basics and work up slowly and strategically to more intermediate skills.
The MSA Certification course is designed for the new rider with absolute no previous riding experience, but can be tailored to the experienced rider that wants to enhance their fundamentals. Even riders with 20+ years experience find the course challenging.
You must have your Motorcycle Learner's Permit when you begin your course.
Our program offers a 30 hour course that is divided into 3 segments; 10 hours of classroom theory, 10 hours of parking lot training, and 2 road rides (one throughout the lower mainland including downtown and the second focusing on school zones / playground zones areas in the Surrey municipality), all on a motorcycle that we provide.
Our in house certified assessment officers will conduct your MSA test. Upon successful completion, riders are allowed to ride unsupervised at all posted speed limits. After completing the final road ride with our school, we will make arrangements with ICBC for the Class 6 Road Test on our motorcycles.
Here are some of topics that are covered:
In a comfortable classroom setting we will cover topics such as Riding Gear, Rider Attitude, Motorcycle Controls, Motorcycle Operation, Physics of Riding, Traction Control, Traffic Regulation and Safety, Risk Assessment, Sharing the Road, Riding Conditions, and Hazard Avoidance.
In our privately owned training facility, we'll safely cover topics such as; Starting, Clutch Control, Throttle Control, Brake Use, Gear Shifting, Slow Speed Ride, Turns and Curves, Stopping, Body Positioning and Balance, Hill Starts, and Vision Development.
Helpful tips for lot training:
Play the PRS Road Ride Preview video here!
We apply everything you learn in the classroom and lot on your road rides. Instructor and students are linked via Kenwood FM Frequency Communicators that have an effective range of 8 kilometers. Instructions and feedback on your progress is immediate giving you the best in road experience. Rides may cover the following areas; Downtown Robson, Commercial Street, Chinatown, Gastown, UBC, Spanish Banks, Metrotown, Stanley Park, Kitsilano, Richmond, New Westminster, Surrey, Delta, White Rock and Langley. We want you to learn in the same environment in which you would be riding, after graduating from the course.
SCHEDULES:Courses start in early February, and continue until the first week of November. PRS is the only school in the Lower Mainland that offers many schedule options to accommodate our students. We are able to provide this kind of flexibility because; unlike most other schools, we do not rent (share) our training facilities with other businesses. Our training facility is owned and operated by Pacific Riding School, which also allows for private lessons should they be required. Your training will be conducted in a safe and controlled environment.
We have new courses starting every Monday (including statutory holidays) with 4 different schedule options to offer you as much flexibility as possible. It is a 30 hour course that is scheduled over either a 1 week period or a 2 week period. Refer to our policies page regarding changes within a course.

Motorcycle Maintenance 101Cost = $50.00 Time = 4 hours

PRS will cover topics such as oil changes, brake system, clutch, chain and sprockets, tires and wheels, carburetor, fuel injection, ignition system, transmissions, 4 stroke and 2 stroke engines.

PRS instructors are certified factory technicians from Kawasaki, Honda and Suzuki. At Pacific, you are in good hands.
Motorcycle Maintenance 201Cost = $100.00 Time = 4 hours Capacity = 4 students
Applying the practical of what we learned in 101, it's time to get a bit dirty! We change our own oil and filter, check the air filter and battery, lube and adjust the drive chain and clutch cable, and adjust controls to suit the student and their bikes.
If you're fast, we can squeeze more in!

Country Life
This exhibition consists of a stunning range of work which is the result of a joint project undertaken by the National Museum of Ireland – Country Life and Mayo Inter-cultural Action group (MIA), and facilitated by community artist Carmel Balfe. MIA is a Non-Government Organisation (NGO) dedicated to issues of immigration and integration in county Mayo.
The project was prompted by a desire to continue and deepen museum engagement with new communities living in Ireland, and to explore the relevance of the museum and its collections to these communities. After an initial familiarisation visit and guided tour of the exhibitions, participants undertook weekly visits to the Museum in October and November 2008. Each week, the women worked with their own individual techniques using tools and materials specific to their craft.
Each participant has brought a flavour of her own culture to fruition through her individual work.
The sharing of craft skills and ideas amongst the group and with museum staff was - an important element of the project. The sharing of personal stories that emerged through the medium of craft was also important and an interview with each participant was recorded during the project.
The quality of the craft skills and the resonances with the museum exhibitions led to a proposal to exhibit the finished work. The finished work is displayed alongside the permanent exhibits of the Museum.
The Participants in this Project were
Faoziya Yussuf from Nigeria
Olanike Ogundare from Nigeria

Joanna Kuruc from Poland

Field Education
The School of Social Work endorses the principle that field education is the "signature pedagogy" of social work education and requires that all students have training experiences in professionally supervised field placements. Signature pedagogy represents the central form of instruction and learning in which a profession socializes its students to perform the role of practitioner.
The purpose of field education is to provide the student with the opportunity to develop competence in social work skills and professional values in actual service settings. The total curriculum of the School encourages the student to integrate theory, knowledge, values, and skills learned in the classroom and in field in order to demonstrate mastery of social work practice behaviors and development of professional competencies. The School of Social Work recognizes the need for high-quality field placements which can provide a range of learning experiences in a professional environment.

Why Niger Delta Militancy Will Continue, February 27, 2012
So many activities struggled for the front cover of most news magazines during the week. From the revelations coming out from the public hearing of the National Assembly on pension fund management; the investigation of the management of the huge sums of money paid as subsidy to oil majors by the federal government to the clearance of the new helmsman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde, also by the National Assembly. On Thursday, the Nigerian born 'underwear bomber', Abdulmutallab bagged life in jail for attempting to bomb a US airline on the Christmas day of 2009.
But, there is one recurring issue that should not be neglected- the resurgence of militancy in the oil rich Niger Delta region. When the ex-militants numbering over 5,000 blocked the Lokoja/Abuja highway late last year, little did the nation know that they were up at it again. Government officials were quick to respond that they were not part of the amnesty deal.
The recent attack on the Agip Oil facility has continued to put several questions on the mouth of every concerned Nigerian. Assistant Editor, George Emine, who anchored this week's cover, traced the problem to the profit that normally accrues from illegal oil bunkering.
The minister of power, Professor Barth Nnaji was a guest of the Nigerian Newsworld Magazine/Nigerian Pilot Newspaper Leadership Form. We brought you excerpts from the interview.

CNET member Nate650 shares with us his thoughts on why BlackBerry is well-positioned to rebound.
The embattled smartphone manufacturer is betting its oddly shaped device will turn some heads.
At least one stage of the company's turnaround process is complete, according to an internal memo obtained by Reuters.
Well, you never know, BlackBerry might be okay -- heads or tails?
Foxconn has its role, says John Chen, "but we will do the next set of cool phones." He also hints at another potential keyboard smartphone for this year.
The latest executive to sit at the top of BlackBerry goes back to the drawing board for what could be the beleaguered phone maker's last grasp at survival.
In yet another open letter, CEO John Chen attempts to get businesses to stick with BlackBerry.
Can't keep up with the tech news? Don't worry, we'll get you up to speed with a rundown of all the biggest stories this week.
BlackBerry's new boss has spoken out about his plans to save the troubled company.
A deal to buy BlackBerry has apparently fallen through, leading the ailing company to fire its boss and recruit a new man at the top.

The Union Leader Santa Fund is a community tradition that has supported the Salvation Army for more than 50 years. The Santa Fund was first established at the Post Office Fruit in Manchester after a chance 1959 meeting between the Salvation Army major and the then-editor of the Union Leader.
In its first year, the Santa Fund brought in $1,000 to support the Salvation Army's Christmas effort. Since then, the Santa Fund has raised nearly $6.8 million, thanks to the generosity of the community and local businesses. Santa Fund dollars continue to provide warm clothing, meals and toys during the holidays, as well as support Kids' Café, summer camps and other critical programs throughout the year. Last year's drive brought in over $240,000 – thanks to the generosity of local businesses and residents, bringing the lifetime total to nearly $6.8 million.

Pal: Demi Moore "Hasn't Been Eating" During Ashton Affair Drama
The sex scandal threatening Ashton Kutcher's marriage is really taking a toll on his wife of six years, Demi Moore.
In fact, the 48-year-old Five director has been skipping meals in the wake of her husband's rumored infidelity and affair with 22-year-old Sara Leal. (In an exclusive Us Weekly interview, Leal claimed Kutcher confirmed he was "separated" from Moore).
PHOTOS: Demi's figure over the years
"She is superskinny, and it's hard to look at," one friend tells the new issue of Us Weekly.
As rumors plague Moore and her Two and a Half Men star husband, 33, Moore has become more focused on perfecting her figure and recently signed up for a juice-cleanse delivery service.
VIDEO: Ashton's alleged other woman, Sara Leal, speaks out only to Us
But another pal insists Moore's slimdown isn't about vanity. "She's very upset, and hasn't been eating," says the source. "It's taking a toll."
For more on the star's reaction to her husband's behavior -- including details on how they're trying to save their marriage -- pick up the new issue of Us Weekly today.

Among the mobile platforms that can enjoy the solutions we can count ACCESS Linux Platform, Symbian OS, Garnet OS, BREW and Microsoft Windows Mobile.
"ACCESS offers end-to-end solutions for converged devices, starting from the infrastructure layer to platform and middleware, to client applications," said Tomihisa Kamada, president, CEO and co-founder of ACCESS. "Since this company was founded, we have worked closely with major operators and equipment and device manufacturers all over the world to help them differentiate their products and improve their competitiveness. This announcement underscores our commitment to provide our customers with technologies that support a variety of platforms."

At the same time, the maker states that it intends to develop NetFront Living Connect and NetFront Book Viewer EPUB Edition for Android, and that its products will become available for end-users as web downloads. All of the solutions will be showcased in Barcelona, including the NetFront Browser v3.5, NetFront FlexUI, NetFront Widgets and NetFront Document Viewer, the company concludes.

Transcendence doesn't come easy for the characters in John Darnielle's songs. For over 20 years the songwriter has put together a murderer's row of outcasts, speed-freaks, thieves, tortured musicians, washed-up actors, alcoholic stepfathers, paranoid science-fiction writers, Satan-worshippers, peanut-lovers and actual murderers. They're often manic, depressive, manic-depressive or just plain desperate, and though Darnielle often catches them in their quieter, more reflective moments, they're not the type of people one might associate with a spiritually gooey and Emersonian word like "transcendence." When I think of "transcendence" I think of mystics arriving at a higher state of being through meditation or hikers chewing granola while standing before a giant waterfall. I don't think of the Mountain Goats.
The most basic and practical form of transcendence is about a type of stillness, but most of the drifters gathered together on the latest Mountain Goats record, Transcendental Youth, are looking for an escape, whether it's through isolation, a getaway car or a trapdoor. They're frantic; they're worried; they're in need, many of them marked by abuse and all suffering from some type of mental illness. And yet, through these songs, they find little pockets of peace. Sometimes these moments are reflected in the types of tiny writerly details that Darnielle has made a career out of mining and cultivating into clever, poignant couplets ("Steal some sunscreen from the CVS/Use too much and make a great big mess" is one of many gems), but more and more the sense of buoyancy comes from the songs themselves: the arrangements, the instrumentation and the sense of community that emerges from a great band that obviously enjoys playing together.
After the stark, somber brood-rock of 2011′s All Eternal's Deck and the hushed, contemplative compositions of 2009′s Life Of The World To Come, it's refreshing to hear a little lilt and some playfulness return to the group. The opener, "Amy Aka Spent Gladiator 1," is one of the punchiest and most transparently resilient songs that Darnielle has written in the last decade, a propulsive potential anthem that both paints a portrait of severe social alienation ("Let people call you crazy for the choices that you make") and offers a ray of hope to those in need ("Just stay alive"). Throughout the record Darnielle remains focused on the idea of surviving in the midst of chaos and terror, a feeling most succinctly summarized on the song "Cry For Judas" when he lets lose a primal cry: "I am still here but all is lost."
The need to affirm one's own existence, to put a stake into the ground and mark a territory despite the world's crushing indifference, informs almost every song on the album, providing a thematic link between startlingly specific sketches ("The Diaz Brothers"), the vivid historical tragedies ("Harlem Roulette") and the panoramic, Robert Altman-style chamber dramas ("Lakeside View Apartment Suite"). As is often the case, Darnielle jumps wildly between locations and time periods, giving a jazz studio in Harlem the same sense of lived-in, journalistic detail that he reserves for the tweaked-out addicts crawling their way through the highways of Florida. What brings these characters together is an urge to leave a mark on the universe by documenting their dreams and desires, whether they're writing songs, scribbling on bathroom walls or just leaving scratches in the floor. "And just before I leave I throw up in the sink/One whole life recorded in disappearing ink," Darnielle sings toward the end of one track, articulating the physical, vomit-like desire to create but also acknowledging the futility of it all.
Before the release of the album, Darnielle was calling Transcendental Youth the "Satan record", and though Lucifer makes a cameo appearance (the moving and downright tender "In Memory Of Satan"), this will probably be categorized under a different tag: the horn record. Collaborating with composer and singer-songwriter Matthew E. White, the band accents many of these songs with joyful, warm horn arrangements that provide subtle coloring and shading to these often dark, murmured narratives. At times the horns give the songs a haunting, epic grandeur ("White Cedar"), while some tracks suggest an almost jazzy, improvisatory slant (the swinging title track).
Some may find White's contributions cumbersome or unnecessary—we're not in tape-hiss, boombox-recorded Kansas anymore—but here's the thing about Mountain Goats records: Like a subway or a taxi cab, if you miss one, you don't have to wait too long for another. Darnielle's prolific nature, and his unwillingness to bow to trends or make big, ambitious records, makes him an easy songwriter to take for granted. Many people feel like they "get" the Mountain Goats, and they don't have to check in every couple of years to find out what's new, but that's a shame because Darnielle, longtime bassist Peter Hughes and drummer Jon Wurster are up to something special here. They may not be particularly youthful anymore, but there's plenty of transcendence to be found on this record.

Leon High golfer Anton Glass, region golf at Seminole
When he tees off, Leon High golfer Anton Glass' swing involves significantly less hip rotation than his competitors.
His stance isn't the most fundamentally sound, and he looks like he has a limp when he walks.
But that's all par for the course for the adaptable junior, who does what he needs to in order to play the sport. ...

Hi everybody,
I know I don't pop in here too much anymore. Truth is I've been on the road for work about 45 out of the last 52 weeks and don't have much time like I did. I wrote a new song I need a piece for for Emotionography. For those of you who don't know me, I write poems and lyrics that I put up on a website. It's non-commercial but gets quit a bit of traffic. Many of the artists here have let me use their pieces and I hope it's driven some traffic to their work. I've never made a dime from it and don't care to, but I hope it does help the artist if only in a small way. I'm thinking about a piece of a pretty bikini girl(s) on a beach. I know it kind of racy and I hope you lovely ladies don't think it sexiest...just feel a bit rowdy sometimes.
Flesh Candy
a crowded beach on summer day
chillin' in a lawn chair, pass the time away
bronze skinned beauties prancing all around
giggling and jiggling to that island sound
flesh candy, I can�t get enough
flesh candy, got me feelin' tough
flesh candy, filling up my brain
flesh candy, driving me insane
flesh candy
she glances at me with that look in her eye
puts her finger to her lips as she walks by
I raise my sunglasses and give her wink
join her at the bar for a tropical drink
flesh candy, I can�t get enough
flesh candy, got me feelin' tough
flesh candy, it's so salty sweet
flesh candy that's what I need
flesh candy
we talk all day and take a moonlit stroll
get to the resort at a quarter past four
tosses back her hair says she�s feeling wild
stretches out on the sofa with a take me smile
flesh candy, I can�t get enough
flesh candy leaves me feelin' tough
flesh candy, sprawled on my bed
flesh candy, that�s what I said
flesh candy
a crowded beach on a summer day
side by side on a blanket, pass the time away
holding hands and kissing in the afternoon sun
waiting for the night to have a little more fun
flesh candy, I can�t get enough
flesh candy, got me feelin' tough
flesh candy, man I just can�t wait
flesh candy, makes me salivate
flesh candy

This is kind of what I had in mind. I really like this piece and asked Laura if I could use it, but she hasn't replied back. I hope the lyrics didn't offend her.

TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Target is in the hot seat after an extreme photoshop fail.
The picture in a swimsuit advertisement looks fairly normal from afar, but a closer look shows that editors tried photoshopping the already very skinny model to try and make her "thigh gap" larger. They missed some spots in the process.
People also noticed the same sort of editing error on the model's arms.
Buzzfeed reached out to Target, and the company gave them this response: "This was an unfortunate error on our part and we apologize. We have removed the image from our website."

Solarize Mass
Solarize Mass seeks to increase the adoption of small-scale solar electricity in participating communities through a competitive tiered pricing structure that increases the savings for everyone as more home and business owners sign contracts.
Now in its fourth year, Solarize Mass, a partnership between the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), the Green Communities Division of the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) and cities and towns across the Commonwealth, has led to more than 2,400 residents and business owners signing contracts for small-scale solar electricity systems, while speaking with thousands more about the economic and environmental benefits of solar electricity, energy efficiency and other clean energy technologies.
Communities participating in the 2015 Solarize Mass program include Quincy, Provincetown, and a community partnership of Plainfield, Ashfield and Buckland.
|Installer Selected
|Cotuit Solar - E2 Solar - Blue Selenium Solar
|Plainfield - Ashfield - Buckland
|Direct Energy Solar
How it works
The Solarize Mass program looks to increase the adoption of small-scale solar electricity systems through a grassroots educational campaign, driven mainly by local volunteers and a tiered pricing structure that increases the savings for everyone as more home and business owners in the community sign up.
Each participating community selects a designated solar installation company, which offers five tiers of pricing with the savings increasing as more contracts are signed.
Home and business owners who want to participate can either purchase the solar electricity systems directly or enter into a lease or power purchase agreement (PPA) with the installer if offered. Under a lease or PPA, the installer will own, operate and maintain the system, while the home or business owner agrees to purchase the power generated by the system as a specific rate.
The 2011, 2012 and 2013 Solarize Mass programs resulted in more than 10,000 individuals expressing interest in pursuing solar electricity. Over 2,400 residents and business owners in the 46 communities signed contracts to install over 16 megawatts of solar electricity. In addition, the number of small-scale solar electricity projects in almost every community doubled as a result of the program.
To learn more about Solarize Mass, including the results of previous rounds of the program, please go to the Solarize Mass Reference Guide page.

She knows the ways of violence and self discipline. Her rival will teach her to surrender to unbridled lust. Ebony Strike's opponent in the galaxy's most notorious underground fighting tournament is adept, focused and mysterious. While her days are spent battling for a prize that will save her starving people, her nights are filled with heady, carnal encounters with the oh-so-delicious Aldanen. Strikingly handsome with bronze skin and white hair, Aldanen is a skilled martial artist. But he is also not what he seems. He's undercover for the Fusion, sent to bring down the corrupt Prefect running the illegal tournament. But hot nights of aphrodisiac-fueled sex with Ebony leave him wondering--is this blistering attraction the beginning of a new life, or nothing more than drug-propelled lust? Caught between a criminal, the law, and her powerful attraction to Aldanen, Ebony is faced with an agonizing choice. To help him, lose the prize money she desperately needs, and possibly end up in prison. Or sabotage him, grab the money, and run. Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, some graphic language, drug references, violence.

A true American dessert is one that either was adapted from another culinary tradition to suit American tastes (Greek Deep Dish Custard Tart, Germantown Lebkuchen) or was created by an American cook using American ingredients (Vermont maple syrup in Maple and Hickory Nut Apple Crisp, New Mexican Pine Nuts in Ole Mole Cookies). These finales have flair: instead of staid carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, for which you already have a recipe, there is Praise and Plenty Cake that has squash and zucchini as well as carrots. And the brownies in All-American Desserts are blue ribbon and double chocolate. Enjoy homemade American treats as you read the story of each dessert, which Fertig puts into historical context along with the recipe.
400 star-spangled, razzle-dazzle recipes for America's best loved desserts.

About the Author
Judith M. Fertig is a bestselling and award-winning cookbook author. She lives in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, where she develops recipes that celebrate the rich culinary traditions of the Heartland. A recognized authority on regional Midwestern cuisine and an experienced cookbook author and food writer, she has studied at the Cordon Bleu in London and La Varenne in Paris. Prairie Home Breads follows Fertig's definitive Prairie Home Cooking, a collection of recipes inspired by the abundant produce of the Midwestern states, including wild and heirloom fruits and vegetables, game, grains, and beef. The bestselling Prairie Home Cooking was a 1999 nominee for both the IACP Cookbook Award and the James Beard Book Award. Fertig is also the author of the award-winning Pure Prairie: Farm Fresh and Wildly Delicious Foods from the Prairie, as well as several books on barbeque with coauthor Karen Adler. In addition to these cookbooks, Fertig wrote the Great Plains chapter of the American version of Culinaria, a two-volume book on American culinary traditions. She is a contributor to numerous distinguished magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, the London Sunday Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Saveur, Santé, Country Living, and Country Home. Fertig was inspired to write the Prairie Home cookbooks while living in London. Although she had lived and traveled all over the Midwest, living abroad gave her a new perspective, revealing the Midwest as a region of culinary innovation, cultural diversity, and fresh and varied native foods and produce. Looking at this familiar region from a new perspective allowed Fertig to capture the honest wholesomeness of Midwestern cuisine in her cookbooks. To write Prairie Home Breads, Fertig visited Old World artisanal bakeries, farmhouse kitchens, rural church suppers, community bake sales, bustling urban ethnic bakeries, farmer's markets, and home kitchens throughout the Midwest. Fertig shares her considerable culinary expertise and her appreciation of the Midwestern kitchen in cooking classes and seminars and as a restaurant consultant.
