Atom Art Serving Bowls
24 USDblack motif
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Scarlet Fun and Simple... I first bought one of these charming serving bowls off of a wish list of my friends that was really a "wedding registry"...... Hummmm that's an idea anthropologie... Why don't you set it up for wedding registries... ANYWAY, it was so nice I ended up getting one for my self a couple of months later. I have had it for about 3 months now and it still looks brand new. I have the green one which looks true to color on my Mac screen. It has been washed (I hand wash my dishes-- don't have a dishwasher) and used several times and is holding up very well. November 16, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by PrincessMargo Love these bowls I bought 2 of these bowls in-store, and I use them almost every day. They're perfect serving bowls and very useful even for one person--for soup or cereal. I have washed them both by hand and many times in the dishwasher, and they are in great shape. After over a year and a cross-country move, I am buying more of these bowls to give as gifts. November 19, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by farah Pretty and light I bought this serving bowl and the red fern one. The green one had a rough edge as if someone picked it up while the paint or clear coat was wet. I could even see the finger prints on it. When I went to the store the other green serving bowls also had a similar feeling, though not as much. I picked up the one that had the least of this problem. I've not seen this issue with the fern serving bowl, or the other ones. Must have been a bad lot December 19, 2010

The Walking Dead series created by Telltale Games is back with its fourth episode called Around Every Corner, released in the month that Telltale Games promised to boot! If you're unaware it's an episodic point-and-click adventure game set in the world of the popular comic book series by the same name. It's the same series that the AMC TV series is based on, but it's the comic book and not the show that this game shares its universe with. If you haven't already downloaded the game's previous episodes then check out our reviews for: the first, second and third. This review will contain spoilers for previous episodes.
Set straight after episode 3, Lee and the gang have finally made it to Savannah when their already vague plan to find a boat and sail to someplace else starts to fall apart. Mysterious church bells start ringing drawing a huge crowd of zombies to the group's location, a cryptic message is delivered by an unknown male through Clementine's radio and Omid's leg is infected. What's worse is that Kenny has started to fall apart due to the events of the last episode, who can blame him, but his rage is blind sighting him to the obvious and making him dangerous to be around. In short they're not only up shit creek without a paddle; they haven't even got a boat.
Previous episodes have been about building up the recurring characters, I'm sure you've got your favourites. There is even a small cult devoted to Clementine, so it's fair to say that Telltale Games have done a wonderful job on creating likeable realistic characters. However this episode is where the game starts to break away from the personal rivalries which dominated the story beforehand. They're still there of course but the episode is much more focused on introducing new characters and pushing the story forward. That means less time wandering around talking to everybody and more time scavenging and cracking the skulls of zombies. It works though; we already know their personalities now we want to see them react while under some new pressures.
As such the game feels like it has a grander scheme. Before you were limited to houses, farms and trains while now you've got a sizable chunk of city to explore with more people outside the group to interact with. Also before this episode the group had always been at the whim of chance and the manipulations of others; this time the group gets to make plans and actually follow through with them in the same episode. It gives the sense that the group has grown, become stronger and now is fully ready for the world they live in; hardened by their experiences.
There are of course tough choices to make, none more than the final few before the episode ends, so don't think the series has deviated too far from what made it interesting in the first place. As always it's hard to talk about the episode without giving to much away but there is a lot of action and one character you meet up with really steals the show. Part Altair, part Chuck Norris, 100% awesome.
My previous issues with episodes seem to have been fixed. Suddenly the voice-lip-sync no longer crops up, or at least I never noticed it in any of the conversations I had. Also when you select something for Lee to say, he no longer just shouts it over the conversation cutting off the last sentence spoken. Even the puzzle solving is better with Lee not giving out blatant clues and the puzzles themselves being slightly more engaging. Not saying that they're in any way challenging but they were never as simple as flipping batteries around or taping up a gas hose.
Episode 4 doesn't have the same emotional impact as Episode 3; which is nice as that was a very dark story. It does however manage to give the player a greater sense of dread, at just how desperate things have become and how unlikely survival really is. If you've made it this far into the series then you do need to pick it up, while episode 5 can't come soon enough.
Spends his days reporting on games, talking about games, thinking about games, watching videos about games and reading about games. So much so has little time to actually play any of them.

I just recieved my MKS pedals and clips, and they are too long apparently, because my toes hit my front tire on nearly every turn.
There goes 45 bucks...
if you keep riding with them, youll get used to it. both of my bikes have toe overlap. the colnago has like 3 inches of it.
Did you ride with cages before getting the MKS? I'm surprised you'd have an issue with these and not your previous pedals.
I rode with cages, but they were shorter plastic ones...
I just replaced the soma cages I was using with XL mks cages. I also switched out the crapy nylon straps with leather ones ( I think, could be fake). What a difference. Foot fits better, and I can tighten the straps better. Much easier to skid. Not as good as clipless, but a whole lot better.
So I guess what I'm saying is.... If you got big feet, (i have size 13) I would learn to deal with the toe overlap...
Blue Skies and Happy Trails.
All you need to do is get smaller clips = there goes 12 bucks.
yeah, I did like the fit of the new cages. And I too got leather straps, which I dig more. Not to mention it looks nice.
If your feet fit the cages (i.e. if the ball of your foot is over the spindle when your shoes are shoved all the way in), shorter cages will make it worse. Overlap is rarely a problem for anyone, and when it is, it's funny.

Riding with too short cages to avoid overlap is a really dumb idea.Originally Posted by moki
3 inches? god damn!Originally Posted by babychris
toe overlap is not a huge problem. you get used to it. know how far you'd have to turn the wheel in order to overlap. time your turns with your pedal stroke. point your toe down when you are turning tight enough at slow enough speed to have possibly pedal strike. get used to it and don't sweat it so much - it's not the worst problem i can think of.
i agree with my man, mattio, u'll fall at first, but soon enough u'll learn to handle it. when i have to make sharp turns, i take my foot out of the cages a bit so it doesn't get hit by the tire. it's like second nature to me now

Thanks for the feedback folks. I'll ride on em for the week, and see how it goes...

A man who molested 29 boys, using soda and snacks to lure some to his home, soon will become the first sex offender to walk out of Minnesota's civil commitment program in more than a decade, a milestone for a program that has been criticized as a life sentence disguised as treatment.
Clarence Opheim's move to a Golden Valley halfway house is raising concerns in a state where the handling of sex offenders has been a politically charged issue. But with the program facing constitutional challenges, some say it's time to begin releasing people who have made treatment progress.
"It would be simpler for the administration, for us, for society to just lock people up forever," Gov. Mark Dayton said earlier this month. "But it's not legal, and I don't even think it's moral."
Not everyone agrees. At a recent legislative hearing, some Republican lawmakers questioned why one of Dayton's commissioners didn't oppose Opheim's provisional discharge.
"We should have a law in the state - locked up for life, no chance for parole and-or the death penalty," said Rep. Glenn Gruenhagen, R-Glencoe.
Minnesota has never successfully discharged a sex offender from its commitment program. In 19 years, one other man was freed with conditions in 2000, but he was returned to custody on a violation.
The program targets dangerous sex offenders deemed most likely to strike again. It allows the state to pursue civil commitment as they near the end of their prison sentence and a court decides whether to commit.
The Minnesota Sex Offender Program exploded after the 2003 abduction and slaying of Dru Sjodin, a 22-year-old North Dakota college student, by a sex offender from Crookston who had been freed after serving 23 years in prison for an assault and attempted abduction. Prison authorities hadn't sought to commit the man before his release.
Eric Janus, dean of William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul and an expert on the commitment law, said the program always has been politically difficult.
Lawmakers feel pressure to cut costs - the sex offender program costs $317 per patient per day, compared with about $85 per day for an ordinary prisoner - but no one wants the wrong person released.
The previous governor, Tim Pawlenty, issued an executive order in 2003 discouraging discharges.
Several challenges to the Minnesota law are pending in federal court, with attorneys arguing the program is unconstitutional. A judge put the cases on hold while attorneys seek class-action status.
Commitment laws have withstood legal challenges when it could be shown their purpose was treatment, not detention. Some lawmakers say that's where Minnesota's law is vulnerable.
"If we never let anybody out, we don't have a real treatment program, we just have an incarceration program," said Rep. Tina Liebling, DFL-Rochester. "You can never get rid of all risks."
A 2010 legislative audit cited several reasons why Minnesota hasn't released anyone, including staffing issues that likely affected the progress of some offenders. Minnesota also has a tougher standard for release, requiring offenders to complete treatment before officials will endorse discharge. The audit said some states allow for discharge if an offender simply no longer meets criteria for commitment.
That audit also criticized several elements of the program, including inconsistent treatment and not enough of it. Dennis Benson, the program's executive director, said his staff has worked hard to address issues in the report - including hiring more people.
He defended treatment, saying it is tailored to each person.
Other states have had success releasing offenders. Wisconsin has placed 96 people on supervised release since 1995 - though 38 of them had their release revoked. Texas operates its program on an out-patient basis.
State officials point out Opheim, 64, isn't actually leaving the program. He's been given a provisional discharge, meaning he can be snapped up for violating any of 32 conditions.
At a Golden Valley halfway house near Zane Avenue and Olson Memorial Highway, Opheim will be monitored via GPS and visits and phone calls will be logged, Benson said. He will continue to get sex offender treatment, with possible support group meetings, and his progress will be monitored. He will have daily visits from a program staffer, and could be placed under surveillance.
Opheim already lives under similar conditions in housing outside the razor wire surrounding the state treatment site in St. Peter. He moves freely about the campus, but requires an escort to move about the community - a condition that would continue at the halfway house for the foreseeable future, Benson said.
"We will always have some kind of control over what he does, where he lives, for probably the remainder of his life," Benson said of the former Minneapolis man, who was committed as a sexually psychopathic personality in 1993 and admitted to the sex offender program in 1998.
Health and Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson said Opheim is not about to be followed by a flood of other sex offenders.
Since 2008, only nine other people have advanced to the final phase of treatment. And many hurdles remain for them: They need the support of their treatment team, the approval of a special review board and the approval of a Supreme Court appeals panel. Many of the nine are just beginning the final phase.
Sjodin's mother, Linda Walker, called Opheim's release disturbing. In the years since her daughter's murder, Walker has traveled nationwide to raise awareness about sex offenders. She doesn't believe they can be cured.
"They are very good at what they do, and their main fear is being caught. They want to continue to do what they are doing," she said.

Dude she is like 10… give her some time to GROW some
implants are the ugliest thing available to females, i hate them. I had an ex once with them and she didnt have them to start out with but ended up getting them, they were ugly and hard and cold. They moved weird. Eventually they got imfected and the scar reopened and it was black, the implant went black, sickest thing ever. Why women mutilate their bodies like this is beyond me. I would rather have a cute A or B cup on my woman and know they are real than this "implant" inside her breast cavity.

Here, Goya breaks with Baroque tradition, interpreting this typified subject according to the new principles of Neoclassicism. The clothing no longer flies around the figure, but instead adapts to the body in a natural manner.
This delightful and emotive work is a preparatory sketch for the canvas belonging to the main altarpiece of the church of the College of the Order of Calatrava in Salamanca. It was commissioned along with two other paintings by Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos in 1783. All of those works disappeared during the War of Independence (1808-1812). The only witness to that important set of paintings is the present sketch at the Prado Museum, which belonged to Jovellanos, himself.

Another newcomer to the forum. Been reading here for the last few weeks and thought I could stop by and say thanks for all the interesting posts here at BF!
Anyhow, I'm a 21 year old/young student from Västerås, Sweden (not too far from Stockholm).
I recently got into touring, and will be off for my first tour longer than a weekend in a couple of weeks, where I'm off to visit my parents in southern Sweden, so there's some 590km for me (plus going back later in the summer).
At the moment I'm riding a Crescent (Swedish brand) mountain bike, but I'm hoping to get a LHT this autumn.
Well, that's pretty much me, questions will be answered any year
PS. Please don't mind if I use some bad grammar, I write/speak English way too little to be comfortable with it..

CBOE Volatility Index (.VIX) $41.57 +5.53%
CBOE Vix is near 42% this morning, as traders anticipate further daily market moves in excess of 3%. One institutional trader sold a diagonal call spread in VIX that likely takes some profits off the table and maintains a long VIX position for through November expiry. The trade involved a sale of 10,000 Oct 30 calls and purchase of Nov 32.5s for a net credit of 1.65. There are currently more than 830,000 VIX calls outstanding, including 105,000 Oct 25s and 86,000 Oct 30s. This trade suggests the long vix call position paid off well as vix has doubled in the last month, and a continued desire to retain the long the exposure to volatility. VIX October options expire on Wednesday, October 22. The Novembers expire on Wednesday, November 19.

WaterMelon's Pier Solar was always noble but limited. Making a modern Sega Genesis RPG, exhaustively crafted as both a game and a physical cartridge to capture the ineffable spirit of gaming in 1993? That's lordly work right there. Problem one: Not many people actually have a Sega Genesis plugged in and ready to rock. Problem two: Even with a Genesis in tow, the game won't look just right on a modern HD television screen.
Hence why Pier Solar HD, the remastered version of the game WaterMelon funded through Kickstarter back in 2012, is a such a welcome addition to the Spring 2014 release schedule. Most every platform under the sun will play Pier Solar HD when it releases during the second quarter. Based on this new trailer showing off the game's shiny redrawn sprites and backgrounds, it should be a treat for the retro obsessed. WaterMelon is aiming for an April release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Ouya, Android, PC, Mac, and Linux. Just to honor the game's Sega roots, there will also be a Sega Dreamcast edition of the game.

A fugitive from Florida recently fell into arms of law enforcement here, literally.
The soldier who was fatally shot Saturday night in Long County, like the soldier charged in connection with the incident, was a cavalry scout in the 3rd Infantry Division, according to a Fort Stewart news release issued Tuesday morning.
A Long County man was arrested by the Ludowici Police Department on Aug. 10 after he allegedly stole some items from a local store.
Fort Stewart soldier Hunter Jack Kelly, 20, died of a gunshot wound after a fellow soldier handled a weapon that discharged and struck him in the head, Long County Sheriff Craig Nobles said.
A gathering Saturday night at a Long County home turned deadly when a Fort Stewart soldier was shot and killed.
Erika is no longer considered a tropical system, the National Hurricane Center announced Saturday morning.
Tropical Storm Erika appears to be less and less of a threat to coastal Georgia as time goes on.
The Long County Board of Commissioners selected McIntosh County Volunteer Fire Department Chief Mark Deverger to be the next chief of the Ludowici/Long County Volunteer Department during a called meeting Friday.
A Brunswick man apparently can't keep his hands off turtle eggs.
Tropical Storm Erika's track shifted to the west overnight, meaning that the storm is likely to make landfall in Florida before making its way north, possibly to Georgia, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Georgia Department of Agriculture inspectors will check retail stores and warehouses to make sure the recalled products have been removed from sale. Here is the information from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration:
A National Hurricane Center track posted Thursday night includes all of coastal Georgia, as well as Florida's entire Atlantic coast, in Tropical Storm Erica's five-day cone of uncertainty.
A tractor-trailer hauling logs struck a car Wednesday afternoon at Talmadge Road and E.B. Cooper Highway in Walthourville, police said.

1992 Dodge Dakota • 168,000 miles
Hello everyone, I have a 1992 Dodge Dakota, 4x4, with a v-8, 318ci motor. Since I have owned the truck, I have had success with it. The most costly repair I have had to have done is a transmission overhaul at 160,000 miles. I am told this is a pretty common problem with the transmission but the 318 is a very solid motor for a small block v-8. At any rate, I keep very regular maintenance of this vehicle and I am at a point in time where I am starting to modify the vehicle. I have just recently installed a power sunroof with no real problems. I would like to modify my front seats. As you probably know, I have the 60/40 bench style seat with the middle arm rest. I would like to take the bench out and put in regular bucket seats in it. But I don't know for sure if they make bucket seats for the truck. I read an article that said bucket seats MAY be available in the Dakota Sport or R/T models. But after searching endlessly online, I can't seem to verify that. The other factor that I have to consider is, IF buckets are available in the above stated vehicles, will the frames match up in my 1992? If the buckets aren't available, is there another car manufacturer that makes seats that will match up? Can someone give me some advice or suggestions about this? I would appreciate it. Thanks.
March 19, 2013.

You can get aftermarket seats with brackets for your truck from Corbeau. Just search this brand online and it will lead you to their site. If you want really nice seats you can go to Recaro.

No...but I do have some prints given to me by friends, and I have photo books that I like to look at. I have some art by others on my walls, but it is not photography.
When it comes to photography, I like to "snuggle up" with it in litho-printed form way more than I like to look at it on the wall.

Comfort Suites Denver North
This all-suites hotel was opened in late 1997 and has since been well maintained. As a result, the property is currently in excellent physical condition. This three-story, interior-corridor, 78-suite hotel presents significant upside potential and is available at a discount to its actual replacement cost. Other amenities offered at the Hotel include: an indoor swimming pool and indoor whirlpool, guest shuttle van, meeting room, fitness center, breakfast room and guest laundry. This Hotel is a consistent and strong above-market performer, in terms of occupancy level (127% market penetration level during 2005) and RevPAR levels (125% market penetration during 2005). The Hotel has seen consecutively increasing room revenues and net operating income for the past three calendar years. The area's lodging market is expected to experience significant increases to average daily rate in addition to growth in occupancy levels. As such, there exists significant upside potential for an investor to benefit from positive market trends.
The Comfort Suites Denver North is located on the northwest side of the 120th Avenue interchange at Interstate 25. The Hotel's location allows quick access to downtown Denver, Boulder, and the greater Denver metropolitan area. Several of the Denver areas major highways including Interstates 25, 76, and 70, US Highway 36 (Boulder Turnpike), and Route E-470 are accessible within minutes from the Hotel.

Please contact us for special offers, group bookings or individual guided tours.
Thank you very much for looking after our AVIAN ADVENTURERS so well. We all had a very happy time; you totally charmed us with your words.

Dear Chris We have just had an exceptionally good holiday in the Danube Delta. It far exceeded our expectations and we thought you would like to know how much we enjoyed the experience. Daniel Petrescu was a most enthusiastic and lively leader and with his knowledge of birds and Mihai's understanding of botany and geology we had a lot of learning to do! We shall be passing on details of our holiday to friends in the hope that they may take the opportunity to experience it for themselves. With thanks June and Michael Cutler" Jun 03-10, 2006
June and Michael Cutler
Dear Mr. Alb,
I have been meaning to email you since my return from Europe at the end of June.
IBIS TOURS provided me with an excellent five day bird watching tour of The Danube Delta and 3 days in the Carpathian Mountains in May this year. I would highly recommend this company and suggest you keep in contact with them. I am copying them this email so you can "chat" to each other.
I really enjoyed Romania,
Much thanks for your help,
Kevin B. - Canada
Sacrées vacances! Un truc inoubliable!! Merci à l'équipe exceptionnellement dynamique pour cette traversée de Roumanie au milieu de la nature, loin des images médiatiques. Superbes rencontres humaines, incroyables paysages, faune fabuleuse. Bravo, vous avez les bons ingrédients et la recette est savoureuse. On repart forcément en se disant qu'on reviendra.
Many thanks for a really excellent Holiday with our guests. Everyone had a great time, and spoke very highly of how well organized the trip was. They also praised your very friendly and helpful staff, and the great variety of Romania that they experienced, not just the wildlife, which of course was excellent too.

Dear Mr. Bell,
Thank you for your interest in travel to Romania.
Below is the answer to your question:
We are familiar with the name Ibis Tours,
a tour operator specialized in Danube Delta Tours.
The Romanian Tourist Office - North America
has have never received complaints about Ibis Tours
and is unaware of situations that would determine us
to advise you against visiting Romania with Ibis Tours.
Regarding advance payment/ deposit:
Many travel agencies in Romania do require deposits
mainly because use of credit cards is still limited and/ or complicated.
However, if you don't feel comfortable with sending a deposit
(I know that wire transfer fees are quite high)
you can ask Ibis to pay for the trip up-front, upon your arrival to Romania.
Although we cannot offer any guarantees
we have no reason to discourage you from booking your tour to Romania with Ibis.
Feel free to contact us again for further information or
to send your feedback regarding your Romania travel experiences.
We look forward to welcoming you to Romania!

This is the best Naturetrek holiday that I have been on. It far exceeded my expectations. Please note that the accommodation in small family run hotels and on the boat is outstanding and far from basic. The organisation in Romania is very slick and efficient combined with exceptional warmth and friendliness. Nothing was too much trouble. The tour leaders were knowledgeable and informative and were always approachable. I would recommend this holiday to anyone and will do so to my friends.
J.K. - West Yorkshire
This was truly a superb tour. We had a lot of fun amid the serious stuff of finding and identifying birds, all of which we were able to get excellent views, thanks tot the expertise of Daniel and Chris. Daniel is a most charismatic character, full of enthusiasm and bonhomie...and Chriss credentials and birding abilities are undoubted.
T.M. Glouchestershire
The holiday exceeded our expectation. The accommodation was far better than you led us to expect - condition for tourists in Romania improve by the day. John Carruthers was the epitome of an ideal tour leader - patient, considerable and permanently cheerful. Dan Petreseu is a skilled and energetic local leader, unflagging in his encouragement of everyone and with excellent skills. All of the areas that we visited had plenty to offer to the naturalist, but the sheer spectacle of the Danube Delta was outstanding. Finally, this was an excellent group to spend a holiday with.

An excellent trip – the Flotel was superb. Both leaders hearing and sighting of birds was exceptional and Florin was particularly enchanting with his sense of humour and knowledge of his lively country. We were very lucky to see 16 bears with 2 mothers that had 3 cubs each.

You can't beat birdwatching by boat, relaxing, stimulating, can you just imagine putting the boat into the bank and sitting in your comfortable chair watching the black woodpeacker enlarging his hole, or slowly following literally hundreds of pelicans as they fish in the shallow waters.

PoGo 3x4 Instant Print and Android app
Polaroid is getting bigger on its PoGo printers this Christmas with the launch of the Polaroid PoGo 3x4 Instant Print. As the name suggests, it has the identical functions to the straight PoGo that's been doing the rounds for a year or 2 now except it's upped the print size to a more traditional 3 x 4-inch from a 2 x 3-inch.
You can now send any photo file over to it either by USB connection from your camera or computer or via your mobile phone, both through USB and Bluetooth as well. The zero ink ZINK technology within then prints your shots out in under 50 second and means that they're dry and ready the moment they come out.
But that's not the whole story. The really nice touch that Polaroid has added is the launch of an Android app that will allow you to put a border around your print, as seen in the Pocket-lint photos below. The app is out now and offers a choice of different border styles as well as the option to write text at the bottom.
The app is a little on the rough and ready side as well as phone-poppingly large at 17.88MB, but we were told by Polaroid that these creases will be ironed out as the updates come in. The app will be coming to iPhone shortly with the delay being that "Apple is very careful when it comes to applications working with Bluetooth access".
The Polaroid PoGo 3x4 Instant Print will be available later this year for £99.99 with packs of 30 refills for £12.99.

Conference Paper: Photonic Liquid Crystal Fibers for highly-tunable photonic devices[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Photonic Liquid Crystal Fibers are advanced structures that benefit from a mergence of "passive" photonic crystal fiber host microstructures with "active" liquid crystal guest materials. Such a combination allows for a diversity of novel and uncommon spectral and polarization properties. The latter has simultaneously reinvigorated research in both fields of Fiber Optics and Liquid Crystals Photonics by demonstrating that such optical fibers can be more "special" and unique than previously thought. Importantly, a proper choice of Photonic Liquid Crystal Fibers components, together with precise adjustment of their parameters, may result in various new high-tech photonic elements for different applications. In this letter novel developments of highly tunable photonic devices based on Photonic Liquid Crystal Fibers, obtained recently at the Warsaw University of Technology, are demonstrated.Photonics Global Conference (PGC), 2010; 01/2011

Statement by Mr. William Rowland
Commemorative event: Entry into Force of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Optional Protocol, New York, 12 May 2008
Dear Friends
The World Programme of Action Concerning Disabled Persons (1982) recommended measures to improve the lives of persons with disabilities. This was followed by the Standard Rules on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (1993) which provided guidelines for our participation in society on the basis of equality. Each instrument spurred governments to affirmative action and gave new impetus to the disability rights movement. There is however no doubt that the coming into force of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities surpasses in significance and importance all previous such events. It is therefore with optimism, with joy, and with gratitude that we, the representatives of civil society and the global disability family, join in this historical celebration.
Statement by Mr. William Rowland [WORD]

Earlier this week, Tracy Morgan announced that he would be working on GLAAD's upcoming "Amplify Your Voice" anti-bullying public service campaign, in an effort to make amends for his recent anti-gay remarks at a comedy show in Nashville. But are a GLAAD partnership and a public apology enough to help the "30 Rock" star restore his image, particularly in the eyes of gay fans?
"He's also doing the full-on mea culpa: public apology in the place of transgression, public service announcement, the meeting with GLBT youth," AfterElton.com editor Brent Hartinger told MTV News. "And it's worth noting that he did it all fast, which counts a lot."
Former celebrity publicist and PopEater columnist Rob Shuter agreed that the speed with which Morgan addressed the issue may be key to redeeming himself publicly.
"Whatever crisis a celebrity has, the best way to resolve it is quickly," Shuter said. "People forget when you move on and stop talking about it. Tina Fey had to respond, and she did it within 24 hours; within the first phase of the story. That was a big favor. This will pan out best for him if he just gets it all out of the way. I think people believe he's sorry, and that's a big thing too."
If the public perceives that Morgan's apology is sincere, that will no doubt help his cause. Hartinger noted that when former "Grey's Anatomy" star Isaiah Washington attempted to apologize for a similar, anti-gay gaffe, he did so while portraying himself as the wronged individual, saying his words had been taken out of context. Because of this, Washington's mea culpa fell on deaf ears. Had he simply owned up to making a mistake, as Morgan has, the public would have been more apt to forgive him.
His work with GLAAD and the fact that Morgan works alongside plenty of LGBT people at "30 Rock," including co-star Cheyenne Jackson, have also revealed that Morgan leads what Hartinger calls a "bifurcated life." "[He is] comfortable with out gay people in Hollywood and on the set of '30 Rock,' but also appeals and panders to an audience that's comfortable with, even eager for, open homophobia.
"He really needs to reconcile these two sides to his professional life," Hartinger continued. "It's not enough to continue to be cool around the gay folks at '30 Rock' — he was already doing that, so that's not really an indication of anything sincere. But if he were to take his pro-gay '30 Rock' sensibility and somehow incorporate it into his blue-collar life and audience, that would mean a lot to me and would be an indication that his words are actually sincere."
Morgan also benefits from having a vehicle in "30 Rock" to remind people why he is famous in the first place and divert attention away from his comments — or, given the meta nature of the show, address them in a creative way. Shuter said this is often a problem for celebrities: Had Morgan been fired from "30 Rock," he would have been stranded in his scandal with nowhere to turn.
"That's why the crisis becomes the legacy, because they have nowhere to go to recover," he observed. "So, as long as he has '30 Rock,' he'll have something to move on to."
Moving on is key in crisis management, and Morgan has the opportunity to do just that. His willingness to team with GLAAD to address the controversy head on proves that he knows he did something wrong. He now has to prove to his fans that the homophobic vitriol he spouted from a Nashville stage was just a misguided and unfortunate attempt to shock, and then he'd be smart to lie low and let "30 Rock" do his talking for him for a while.

Flower Petal Shower in Costa Rica
You Have to Watch This Shower of 8 Million Flower Petals
What do eight million pixels look like? Sony decided to find out with a very creative and colorful experiment. To show off the Sony 4K Ultra HD TV's eight million pixels, the company got eight million flower petals. Next, they poured them over a Costa Rican village near the Irazú Volcano. As you watch the magical results, keep in mind that Sony used almost no digital manipulation.

I wonder what happened to all those petals in the city, who had to clean that up? #AintNoBodyGotTimeForThat
I actually went to the Sony store the other weekend to check that TV out. It's crazy crystal clear. The only downside is action sports have this weird ghosting effect.

I think she is naturally gorgeous but her hair should have been up to show off not only the gown but her shoulders. Maybe just a bit more makeup too.

I love it- she looks classy and classic! Very minimalist approach to the makeup. Her skin glows and her hair complements her face shape and bone structure. The only thing I didn't love was her brows... they could have been a little cleaner/shaplier to make her beautiful eyes pop even more

Remember Me
For the first time in my life I was able to watch a group of musicians get together and pay tribute to a fallen band mate. On August 17th and 18th, I watched Widespread Panic bring the heat, exactly one week after the passing of the man named Panic, Michael Houser. In fact, ever since the 3rd of July - the first time Mikey did not humbly walk out onto the stage and take his seat with the band - I think "The Boys" have been playing fierce. Why would Jo Jo, Todd, J.B., Dave, and the new fabulous duo (George McConell and Randall Bramlett) do any different? They set the tone in Milwaukee and haven't slowed down since. Sure, I miss that unschooled "piercing your ear" twanging that erupted from Mikey's Telecaster. Heck, that sound would make you let go of the steering wheel while drivin' down the interstate at unmentionable speeds just so you could chair dance your ass off..."it's the only way to fly." And, although Panic has been playing strong shows, they really brought the heat in Colorado.
Personally I am very thankful that I was able to see the band before they take a well deserved break, and Colorado is such a beautiful place for an event of this magnitude. All in all, the Seven Fiddler's Festival was an amazing gathering. There was a great mix of music, Particle, Ben Harper, Karl Denson, Jerry Joseph, Keller Williams, all with the Rocky Mountains and a gorgeous sunset as the backdrop. It proved to be a dynamic festival with great people from all over. The best part was Colorado's ability to play host to the plethora of us who gathered to celebrate Mikey.
People gave out stickers in the parking lot that said "Mikey: We miss you!" I couldn't believe how many pages and pages of them were given out on Saturday afternoon before the show. One kid walked around passing out drawings of Mikey's face that were amazingly well done - and for free. There were T-shirts that read "Bless this Houser" and of course "I Love Mikey." Posters that had photographs of Mikey at Red Rocks and the words that read As Panic Grabbed My Legs You Know He Pulled Me In were handed out around the parking garage. At first I was impressed with how the crowd was so ready to celebrate and then I thought "Hey, this is Widespread! Would it be any other way?!" I ran into friends, both new and old. People that I had seen on my 'honeymoon tour,' people that I had met earlier this summer, you know, some of my best friends in the world that I hardly ever see. There's no place like a Panic show to reunite and be ecstatic. And that's when it struck me...there should have never been any doubt that people would celebrate (not mourn) Mikey's life at this festival. The comfortable sadness we all felt in the presence of one another was just what I, along with all the other SpreadHeads, were in need of.
The crowd and the venue security had a very harmonious relationship, which was wonderful. A good deal of the security 'force' was wearing Mardi Gras beads. In fact, one police office asked my wife and I "Who is Mikey and why do we miss him?" Meredith, my wife, and I stopped and talked with the polite police officer for a few minutes about Mikey. As we walked away, I told him that I thought his Pink Mardi Gras beads were 'pimp.' He told me that he agreed and winked at us. It was just that type of weekend.
There was no doubt about it, the heat on Saturday was relentless. Simply put, it was hot as hell. But since many of the bands were during the sweltering daylight hours, we went inside pretty early on Saturday. We were able to find some space to sit down, and cool off right inside the venue near the second stage.
Finally, the sun started setting and it was time for the main event. Widespread took the stage promptly at 7pm with an enthusiastic version of "Imitation Leather Shoes." I found it to be a captivating show opener and it really set the tone for the momentous set.
The last show I had seen was Indianapolis, IN, and I could see how both George and Randall's roles had become more defined since then. In fact, George's ability to smoothly run down the guitar's neck and burst out into a fret board frenzy is so subtle, you almost don't realize it's potency. He never attempts to over shadow any member of the band. In fact, it seems that he is very comfortable with his new position. I'll be the first to admit it, as I did in Wisconsin; to see a guy standing near Mikey's part of the stage, singing and playing lead axe, seems awkward as hell. But, when you hear George sing and play you quickly notice that he knows when to bust it out and when to lay back quietly. It is clearly evident that his contribution compliments WSP's style.
I've always said that there's nothing like hearing the "six headed monster" with a couple of horns. Now, I know that Randall Bramlett is not a couple of horns, but you have to admit that he is a darn good sax player. He takes the spotlight with pride when it's his turn to shine, however, he doesn't look awkward when he's on stage doing nothing, which can sometime be a hard thing to do. Personally, I enjoy the horn since it ads a new element to the band. Instead of just adding a new guitar player, this second addition signifies the end of one WSP era and the beginning of another. Kudos to "The Boys!"
The first set was simply phenomenal. It was like each sequential song became that much louder and louder. The crowd's energy mirrored the band's as the quality of music increased with every note. However, each song, though powerful and earth shaking, had a mellow mood and a somber tone. It was like Widespread wanted to remind us all and have us take notice that the man usually sitting stage right, the shy man hiding behind the hair, would never be sitting there again. Instead of choosing to play somber songs that brought the house down like in Milwaukee ("Hope in a Hopeless World," "Pickin' Up The Pieces," and the "Down"), they played rocking songs that reached in and massaged your soul. The "Walk On-> Stop-Go-> Cream Puff War" was a musical change that somehow managed to dwarf the magnificent sunset over the Rockies. Yet the transition between all three songs was sweet music to the ears. After a few telling notes, WSP drifted into the perfect new sing along song, "Bayou Lena." Man, she's just a beautiful girl. This was, without a doubt, the introduction to the climax of the set for me. "Wondering." What many of us were doing out on the way to the show:
I've been driving
Thinking about you and me
And I'm thinking
Wonderin' 'bout the things I see
As the song ended the band jumped into the familiar first precussionary beats of "Space Wrangler." A song that has the style of Mikey "Panic" Houser sprinkled throughout it. Heck, they've been playing it since '85. And with a final verse that toasts friendship and dreams, I'll tip my "Tall Boy" to that any day. Man, what a set. For my own sake I was glad they took a break cause I needed to rest.
The set break was very calm. If I remember correctly, there was some killer Bob Dylan played and many hugs exchanged. I mean, I've been to plenty of concerts where people are running into long lost buddies and hugging. However, these hugs were like no other. People were glad to be amongst fellow heads celebrating Mikey's life. In fact, many of them were so ecstatic, that people passed out large candles during the set break. I'd say that almost every person at the show had received a candle or had a lighter ready by the beginning of the set. By the time Widespread Panic took the stage the crowd looked like a sea of torches. The band was breathless. In fact, this was the only time that I can remember J.B. actually talking to/about Mikey without using song. Though I can't recall the exact words he used, it was something to the effect of:
"Thank you very much Mikey Houser. Now let's all have a moment of joyous sound!
At this point the band ripped into the most impressive version of "Papa Legba" I had ever heard. Those opening notes just screamed out in Panic's signature style. Nothing like a good David Byrne song to get you right back in the mind set to dance. A little "Henry Parsons Died," "All Time Low," and "Little Lilly" for those of you that like to hear the old school tunes intermixed with the new. Then it was Randall's turn to shine on us with a little song. He stepped up to the mike and belted his own "Get In Get Out." It's a tune played in a much different style than the traditional Panic genre, so it's nice to see "The Boys" mix it up a bit. Then, all of a sudden, there it was..."ARLEEN." The new WSP plays this tune very well, and has played it well since Randall and George started playing with them on July 3rd. I won't lie, I'm not the biggest fan of drums, but I've always said that Sunny and Todd can do some crazy things when they play alone together. Ever since I first saw Sunny play all alone on stage, I was fascinated with his style. Saturday night was no different. Though I play no musical instruments, I can easily see that there are hardly two men alive that can make juggle a beat like these two individuals on drums. In terms of how you can end sets..."Love Tractor-> Chilly Water"? Honestly, as far as Panic goes, can you top that? I think I was 'bouncin on my seat' from the opening note, through the last "Neeha Neeeeeeeeeeeeha", up until the last drop of someone's water had splashed on my forearm.
I walked back to sit down on some flat land as the band left the stage. I was thinking that they were going to really rip the Encore. I was figuring one song to blow the roof off this amphitheater. The group of people I was with sat down a bit, rehashed the performance and chilled out. Before we each finished trading stories, the lights went dim. Panic was back and, instead of killing the place with thunderous sounds, they dropped us to our knees in remembrance. By the way, many people let their candles burn throughout the entire set and they were still burning at this point. Though the band made sure that we had a dance your ass off party, they reminded us that we are still a man down. We are now a bit different from that six-headed monster to which we've grown accustomed. In order to celebrate Mikey's life and immortalize him for the evening, the band chose two very perfect songs: "Old Joe" and a Mikey staple "Porch Song."
The end of the first night of this absolutely perfect festival left everyone with a feeling of absolute bliss. Though it is a somber time for all the Panic fans, we each should hope to "live long and lucky" throughout our entire life while "havin' a good time."
Sunday | 08.18.02
The Sunday show is always a treat. I believe I've heard many of my peeps say, "no matter what you do, don't miss the Sunday show." And on this particular Sunday, the rule was no exception. It was another gorgeous day amongst the Rockies. The best part was, mid-afternoon, someone above was smiling down on us in the form of rain that dropped the temperature 10 degrees. It was the kind of rain that hardly gets you wet, but cools you down. I think I was only hit by six, big, chilly raindrops. It made the early part of the evening perfect in terms of weather since it was pretty warm for most of the day. The clouds rolled in and covered both the brightness and the heat at about 5:45. This was perfect since Widespread was scheduled to make an appearance much earlier than normal. "The Boys" were scheduled to take the stage at roughly 6:30 so I was welcoming the rainless cloud cover. After all, the lights are always a great complement to the music at a Widespread show and we all know a good light show gets no justice in the daytime.
The amazing, and I know it's an overused word but, vibe of the crowd was like nothing I had ever been a part of. I couldn't believe how everyone was still so energized after the first day. At most of the festivals I've attended, the second day is the strung out day. People are usually passed out in the most uncomfortable places because they are absolutely worn down. However, that wasn't the case at Fiddlers Green. Maybe there were one or two people that went "too far" the night before. But it was, by far, the most respectful group of people I had ever seen gathered together for a show. People were still in the parking lots giving out stickers, jewelry, water, and t-shirts on Sunday. Kids sitting in the parking garage trading music and Mikey stories. It wasn't until later in the night that my wife pointed it out to me, but many people came to the show dressed in purple. Coincidentally, the ribbons that were given out in exchange for donations and kind wishes by the Pancreatic Cancer Foundation were also purple. It was truly a magnificent group of people gathered together for at least one common reason. Everyone wanted a chance to celebrate Mikey's life with the band one last time before they go home to patch their wounds. The way this previously thrown festival quickly morphed into a tribute to Houser's life was amazing and much needed.
I'd be willing to bet that most people took a couple moments before the band came out and glanced up at the sky, thought of Mikey, their favorite Mikey jam, their first show, whatever it was that created this Panic fascination within. And when they did this, it was cathartic. And then it was time.
Leisurely, the band walked out onto the stage and took their spots in front of all of us. Still a little dumbfounded from the brilliance of their previous night's set, I had no idea what to expect from them. They busted into a really nice version of "Old Neighborhood." This is a song that I'm not extremely familiar with, but I found it a surprising show opener, and I love surprises. Their somber mood was apparent in the very first notes, and how can you blame them for that. Their best friend for 20 years just passed away the previous week. How they were holding up so well in a crowd was beyond me. Night after night since early July, these five guys have been traveling around and playing music while their best friend wasn't there. It would be impossible for their music to not have the colors of pain woven throughout each and every song. It still tears me up each and every time I remember that he's gone. And then, while I was mentally chewing on Mikey's absence, it all came together.
In one instant a bar of music ceased where my thoughts were going. I stopped everything and stood still. I watched each and every one of them - Schools, Sunny, Todd, Randall, J.B. George, and JoJo - prepare for what they were all about to play. "Action Man." What a symbolic song for this tributary night. A song that caused J.B. to look up into the sky at something only he could see and say:
Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time
Heart of gold, limbs of steel, Man-Of-War
Not that I wasn't fond of "Old Neighborhood," but "Action Man" really seemed like the perfect song for that moment. I felt like everyone in the house was singing back up to J.B.'s lead. It's times like this I wish I could phonetically type out guitar riffs just to convey the shock when the first few cords of "Radio Child" were played. It wasn't played after the Dallas, Texas show for a while, but George has sure picked it up quickly. Not that I don't spend a good deal of every day wishing for that raunchy, in your face soulful sound that's now absent in such guitar driven tunes. But I have grown to love this band, and I'm curious to see how this unfortunate occurrence will shape their future. For example, it's interesting to watch the band during such heavily influenced Houser songs like "Radio Child" since they are all capable and willing to steer the new direction of the song. Yet, they can also each unite their sounds in such a unique way that it takes on it's own form. This is why the addition of a man like George is so important. His ability to sit back and let other's take the reins makes songs like "Radio Child" sound that much more fresh. Plus, when it's his turn, he can add to the music. But most importantly, George and Randall have great chemistry with "The Boys" which is why it works.
During "Rebirtha," I stumbled upon an old friend. I think it's a great song. I was kinda sad that it was just melodious background music to our nostalgic stories. Ahh, festival life! It's bound to happen during some song. Since we both had missed "Rebirtha" we surely took notice when we heard "Stop Breakin' Down." Nothing like a little Robert Johnson to get back to the heart and soul of rock and roll.
Widespread Panic then decided to do what had to be done. They took some time out to focus on the fact that Mikey was gone and they missed him dearly. They did this so clearly through the song "Down," and how could they not. It still brings tears to my eyes when I picture them playing this song. You could see the pain in all of their eyes. It's one of the most appropriate titled songs out there. The lyrics are just so depressing. It's pertinent to mention that this song was played at Summerfest this year, the first show Mikey could not join the band onstage.
Take along some of your favorite things
'Cause you're gonna need 'em
Wait right here
Wait 'til I come back around
You and I will go
We'll just sit and watch it all go down
Down Down
I can't imagine what it's like backstage when they decide to include this song in the set list. Every single time I think about this song, and their ability as professionals to keep playing it, I cry. To me, this moment was the second most powerful part of the weekend long eulogy to Mr. Michael Houser.
Obviously, the tempo had to be picked up because the crowd was feeling pretty down at this point. George McConnell was the one to step up to the plate and create the change of mood. His song "Doreatha" arrived at the perfect part of the set. It symbolized how the band has turned over a new leaf. And to play this George McConnell staple right after we reach rock bottom shows how much everyone (fans and band included) have taken a liking to his ability to mesh with the monster. Then, in a moments notice, as usual, the band roller-coastered us back to full fledged rock-n-roll with "One Arm Steve." And I've got to tell you when Panic plays that song, they've always got my ear. After all, they always seem, to know "what's going on."
The first set was a tad longer than I had expected. Since they were scheduled so early on Sunday, I was a bit worried that the music would impede some noise violation. I'm sure we've all been to shows where either the band was 'unplugged' or the venue just terminates the show by simply flipping the light switch. Regardless, the break allowed for some time to chill out and talk with friends. Of course, in my mind, all I could think about was the "Radio Child" and the "Down" that I heard. They were incredible. Oh yeah, there was also that breath-taking sunset over the Rocky Mountains again. Ahhh.
There weren't as many candles or lighters lit on Sunday as the band entered the stage for part two. I remember turning to my wife, surprised that this was the last scheduled Widespread Panic set of the weekend. However, they didn't fall short at all. Every moment of the set lived up to my expectation. The familiar sound of the chimes as Sunny stroked into "Drivin Song" sent chills up my spine. As the guitar lead filtered in, it was obvious George wasn't on stage. The tone was different. I looked around and it came to my attention that long time Panic guitar tech, Sam Holt was playing the Telecaster! Holly Shit is right. Holt filled in for an inspired set two opener.
Meanwhile, I was getting ready for a "Driving Song" sandwich since Widespread usually buries songs so nicely amongst Drivin'. Then, BAM! "Sleepy Monkey." One of those songs that the band has been playing since the mid 80's, a song Mikey helped develop throughout the years, and they owned it. Right in the middle, J.B. busted out with his "Kinky Reggae" rap. So soft, so subtle, and so J.B. Without hesitation, the band cruised back into "Driving Song."
What would a Sunday night show be if Panic didn't invite someone on stage to play with them. And Sunday night's winner in Denver was none other than Mr. Jerry Joseph (Who, by the way, rocked Fiddler's for a LONG time that same day and provided late night entertainment on Saturday night after the show with a few very special guests of his own). Jerry chose to lead the band in a little tune called "North." Mr. Joseph took turns trading licks with J.B. and guitar jams with George. If you've never heard this song before, this might be a good one to hear first. As I wrote on my set list, "The Boys" owned it.
At this point the man behind the sax finally took to the mike. He just calmly walked up to it and belted out a wonderful version of "God was in the Water." This was my first encounter with the song. It really didn't sound like the Panic I had grown to love, but I loved it for the same reason as I love much of their newer stuff, it shows they are growing. As they were jamming out to the end, I started picking up on a familiar bass line. Schools started to drop some notes that my ear picked up on. Nanoseconds later, the rest of my body caught on and I was up and at 'em., ridin' high as ever. J.J. Cale sure could lay down some sick lyrics, and "Ride Me High" is one such out-of-control song. Then, the drummers took over. As I mentioned previously, I enjoy drums, but I'm no percussionist. Some nights they make me get up and dance like crazy, other nights I sit and relax. On this particular night, there were a couple guest drummers. It was Sunday after all. A few members from Ben Harper's band sat in with Sunny and Todd. By the time Schools came out, the beat they had going was out of control. Schools was off the charts by the time the rest of the guys got out there. In fact, Dave was reachin' so deep that the ground was bursting. I've seen Schools pull this type of deep rumbling off inside arenas and such, but it's hard to pull off hard hitting notes like that in the open aired business district of Suburban Denver.
I think it was even before JoJo had fully set up for the next set that I realized we were about to hear "Goin' Out West." In my own mind, I believe that when it comes to covering Tom Waits, J.B. is the man for the job. Luckily, I have had the pleasure of seeing it a good deal of times for how often it gets played. I remember each time vividly. The fact that this was the first time I had seen it near the West Coast made it that much more rich. I consider the next song to be the end of the set. Not because I think that the set ended with "Surprise Valley," but because the transition from "Valley" into "Climb to Safety" was so smooth. It was like one song in itself. Brilliantly planned. Think about it this way. Widespread is playing amongst the mountains, and the man that is leading them in song suddenly changes everything. He begins to sing to us about how we will never be alone. And that man sings it exactly the way he sang it with and to Mikey the last few times they played it together. And, as they get to that note in "Climb to Safety" that ends the song, the brilliantly put together second set reached its end. But there were still more tears to be shed on this evening.
After what seemed to be an eternity, the band returned for the encore. It was a well deserved break as the band played Neil Young's song "Don't be Denied." This was the quintessential selection, the best possible song for that moment. I'm not sure how, but none of the guys in the band collapsed to their knees in tears during this song. I'm actually surprised they pulled it off. I, along with a multitude of others in the crowd, wept deeply. How could you not?
Pretty soon I met a friend,
Who played guitar
We'd sit on the steps at school,
And dream of being stars
We started a band,
We played all night
Don't be denied
Don't be denied
Don't be denied
Don't be denied
Don't be denied
Oh, friend of mine
Don't be denied
Being the true professionals that they are, of course they pulled it off. They stood in front of the crowd motionless, yet full of emotion. I think all they could do from breaking down into tears was think about their next song "Travelin' Light." A song "The Boys" have been playing forever. I can assure you that they played it with the utmost class. A solid tune to end the Summer.
A Summer that was highlighted by severe ups and downs within the Widespread Panic community. We all saw them headline the biggest music festival in the country for two days in a row back at Bonnaroo. We saw them break back and forth and zigzag around in bizarre patterns to amazingly gorgeous venues, as always. But most pain-stakingly, we watched the band lose one of its founding fathers, and right in front of us. How quickly this all took place. Seems like Bonnaroo was yesterday and Mikey and J.B. and the rest of "The Boys" were up there playing music, all together...
I didn't see you were right next to me
But I'm so glad you could make it.
With you by my side, I might get back alive
From my next vacation
Mikey, you live on in all of us and I have you to thank for "pullin' me in." You are dearly missed but you are surely not forgotten. I have the Seven Fiddler's Festival to thank for my opportunity to say good-bye.
