A Good Face for Radio
Yesterday was a milestone of sorts for Intellectual Affairs, my column: the second anniversary of its debut. For the first ten months, I wrote it twice a week. Since then, it's run at the somewhat more leisurely pace of once a week.
So far, it comes to 132 columns. I'm making a selection of them now for a short book. But clearly the smart move would be to shift over to broadcasting....
I just got off the phone with the hosts of "Freestyle," a talk show on CBC Radio. It broadcasts across Canada each afternoon, and the first segment for today's show is based on my recent piece about clutter.
It was fun to do -- mostly a recap of points from the piece. As the segment ended, they referred to me as a "messy essayist." That has a nice ring to it even though the clutter my study is actually pretty under control, for the moment at least. The show is available in streaming audio and will be broadcast this afternoon starting at 2 pm EST.
One earlier piece -- my modest proposal that people who use cell phones in libraries be shot -- also made the jump from written word to podcast pontification. You can listen to the discussion here.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I make music every day. I write music, record it and sell it. I produce and record other artists. I have recorded over 120 CD projects for Bay Area bands and artists. Nearly every day I enjoy the company of wonderful people and I enjoy my work. Life has been very kind to me.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
guitar, humor, discussion, recording music, understanding science.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I'm told that I am very polite. I just think of it as normal. I'm outgoing and gregarious. I think that most people are nice if given a chance to be.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I like books on quantum mechanics and spiritualism. I like movies of all sorts. Good Will Hunting is one I love. The Crossing Gaurd with Nicholson, Wall E. I enjoy lots of types of food and in my hood there are 10 good restaurants within a stone's throw. Love music of course. Some rock, jazz, blues, classical.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
good food, good music, great sex, humor, good friends and conversation. Not necessarily in that order...
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
I realized the other day that I spend a lot of time thinking about the various people in my life. Also music, science, the meaning of life and how life speaks to us. I think about the things I've done in my life and what I would like to do.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Possibly playing a gig, possibly chillin with a friend.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I like big butts and I cannot lie! I like women with big legs and asses, especially if they have a small waist. There is a term PAWG, (Phat Ass White Girl) that is used to describe it. An hourglass figure is another term. Curvy is good. "Big boned" has been used.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
If you want to spend time with someone who is attractive, intelligent, talented, funny, warm, a little wild and is a real person.

I was given a dress like this one (in a different color and size) since it didn't fit her anymore and stitching in the zipper is coming undone and she thought I could fix it. She was never able to wear it and I would like to for a friend's wedding next month.
The fit problem is that it is way too big in the bust, and the straps are too long.(at least thoose are the only noticable sizing issues since the waist has a tie in back) It is a side zipper so I can't do the cheater pinch it in as much as I need and hand sew it like I usually do. What would be the best way to alter this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi procraftinate
Generally I approach these alterations from the bodice being the key. Get that fitting perfectly first. The straps can be adjusted while the lining is open. I would alter this dress from the back (create side back seams if it's way too big) and take in the one side only without disturbing the other side seam with the zipper if possible. Sometimes it has to be done, but usually you can avoid this. Look for any seams - every one offers an opportunity to take in. Spread the amount as evenly around the body as possible so the side seams stay true.
Release the lining to the bodice - this depends how it's attached and I'm guessing there might be a waist and/or underbust seam that seals the bodice area off. Unpick this so you can get inside. This website might help you. Judith Turner is great.
Also there will be understitching on the lining at the top of the bodice holding it from rolling up when the straps pull up over the shoulders. Unpick this too so once you are inside the bodice you can release the seam where the straps are stitched to the bodice. I would start with the back bodice and the 1 free side seam - take in with baste stitch then fit. Maybe change the bust cups for smaller if needed? If the front bodice is way to wide, create some princess seams? They just have to match, not be perfect as per a pattern piece- it's your body you're fitting!
Once the bodice is fitting well, the empire line band, waist, skirt can be taken in to fit and hang nicely. I hope this makes sense. Keep us posted of you progress! Take your time - whatever is stitched last, unpick first, then the next layer etc and then reverse out when you're done.
Good luck! Rita
There are only side seams in this dress, the side seam is serged (don't even see a regular seam) and it is only lined in the front. If I pinch at the top sides I pinch about an inch on each side and the straps are about an inch to 1 1/2 inch too long. The more I read your response the more I want to just take it in and get it done, but I will probably have second thoughts on that too when I hear how much it cost.
It depends how much needs to be taken in. I would have someone come over and help you pinch the sides in. You can adjust the side zipper to fit.
You could open it up to where the top and dress part meets.
take out the zipper just to where the bottom dress starts.
you may need to gather on the sides to adjust how much the top of the dress is being taken in. The other side is minor and you may have to gather there too. the gathers will be small.
once you have the zipper and the other side put together.
you can adjust the straps from there. usually you want to do just the back.
hope this helps you.
I did many of these type of dress.
------Ecclesiastes 11:7,8 Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the morning sun. Even if you live to a ripe old age, you should try to enjoy each day, because darkness will come and will last a long time. (CEV)
The dress is a 16W, I normally wear a 14 or 16 (depending on the dress) and I end up altering the bodice because of my cup size is smaller than average. I probably won't touch it other than the bodice and straps, the too big fit isn't really noticable expet in the bodice, I will try to talk my dh into pinning it after the kids go to bed tonight. I will also try to get pics up of the inside seams and how much is pinned.
I took the pics of the inside but pictures of it pinned didn't turn out, I need the straps an inch shorter and an inch in on each side.
There is a lightweight foam in the front bodice and some sort of nylon strap/stiff fabric under the folded over edge in the back.
I have the zipper out from the top to the sash, I haven't done anything else yet, I am still trying to figure out the best way.

Political parties, interest groups, social movement organizations and the media are the main intermediaries that are involved in what Lawson (1988) coined as the 'linkage chain', the chain of connections that runs from the citizens' wishes to political decisions. It has been claimed that one of the effects of the increasing use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the public domain, notably the internet, will be that the intermediary roles of these actors will erode, because citizens will be able to bypass them. Such a 'disintermediation' has been welcomed as one of the potential benefits of the internet, as it would allow for a direct, unbiased representation of citizens' demands in political decision-making (cf. Bryan et al. 1998). However, disintermediation has also been designated as a threat to democracy, because intermediaries are important sources of judgement and selection, social integration and checks and balances (Shapiro 1999).
Disintermediation in politics has, to date, mainly been discussed with respect to political parties. In various studies it has been established that there is a weakening of the once strong linkages between social class, religion and party identification and that the importance of parties as channels of political participation is steadily declining (Smith 1998). Benjamin (1982) was one of the first authors relating the disintermediation of political parties to ICTs. New technologies such as two-way cable television and direct mail would allow for direct communication between politicians and voters and would therefore contribute to the decline of political parties as mediating institutions.
It seems that social movements are taking over some of the terrain lost by political parties. In the 'market for political activism'

Lone wolf OR-7 returns to California, now in Butte County
Tracking shows it's in Butte County
The lone wolf that's spent the last half year wandering the north state is now in Butte County, the farthest he's traveled so far in his journey from Oregon.
The wolf, who left his pack in northeastern Oregon in September and crossed into California in late December, had been in southern Oregon for some time before returning to the north state.
He's the first gray wolf in California since 1924.
"This animal, he's in an area that wolves have not been in in quite a long time," said Karen Kovacs, a wildlife program manager for the northern region of the California Department of Fish and Game.
The tracking device that monitors the journey of OR-7, as biologists have dubbed the wolf, pinned him in northeastern Butte County as of Monday.
Officials with the DFG, which has been monitoring OR-7's journey, said he entered Butte County on June 28. It's the farthest OR-7 has traveled in his journey to find a mate or new pack, Kovacs said.
"The unusualness about this particular animal is the
distance he's covered," Kovacs said.
"This animal is on the extreme end, as far as distances that have been documented."
Indeed, Kovacs said most wolves that leave their packs travel only 50 to 60 miles on average, while OR-7 likely has traversed at least 2,500 miles.
"He clearly has exceeded that by a lot," she said.
Before that, the farthest south the wolf had traveled was Shasta County.
But Kovacs said it's hard to tell where he'll go next.
"I no longer provide any kind of prediction," she said. "This animal … he's got a mind of his own, and where it decides to go, it's all up to him."
Unfortunately for the wolf, Kovacs said his odds of finding a mate before dying on his journey aren't the greatest.
"There's a number of obstacles that a dispersing male who's gone this distance they have to overcome, not to mention finding another wolf where there are none," she said.
Among those are starvation, disease, getting hit by a vehicle or being shot or trapped by humans, Kovacs said, although hunting wolves is illegal in California.
Kovacs said there aren't any wolves in Nevada, so his best bet would be to cross back into eastern Oregon or Idaho, where his parents were born.
It's hard to predict how long it could take him to cross state lines if he does decide to turn around, Kovacs said.
The wolf's presence in California after nearly a century without any of his kind has sparked heated debates between animal rights activists and hunters, farmers and ranchers, who have even pushed for an ordinance in Siskiyou County to legalize killing the animals to protect the deer, elk and livestock on which wolves prey.

Bring the white wine to boil in a small saucepan. Add the porcini, then remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
In a heavy pot or flameproof casserole, heat the oil. Add the onions and saute over low heat until soft, 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, another 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring the stock to a boil in another saucepan. Reduce the heat and keep at a simmer. Stir, and allow it to simmer. When the stock has been absorbed, add another cup, stir, and simmer.
When half the stock has been added, add the wine, porcini and saffron. Continue adding the remaining stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly, until the rice is slightly cramy and just tender. Altogether the rice should cook for 25-30 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, mix gently, and garnish with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Environmental to Move Workers to Guthrie
Harvey, Betty Jane, THE JOURNAL RECORD
By Betty Jane Harvey
Journal Record Staff Reporter
Environmental Management Inc. of Edmond has plans to move most of its workers to its Guthrie complex after a two-story office building and other construction work is complete.
A $450,000 project is to include: a 12,000-square-foot addition, which would include a 6,000-square-foot office building _ doubling the size of the existing 3,000-square-foot maintenance shop _ and would add a 3,000-square-foot covered loading-unloading dock to the vehicle storage building.
Those two buildings that are being expanded along with the office building are on about 3 acres. Currently there are four buildings, with the fifth being added, on 30 acres. The maintenance shop is to be connected to an existing training center by a catwalk. The new office building is also to be connected to the training center by a walkway.
"Since we opened our doors for business in 1983, demand for our services has continued to increase, and we've continued to grow. We built our first office building in Edmond in 1986 and two years later we added five additional offices," said Terry Bobo, president. The facility in Edmond is 1,500 square feet.
The Guthrie facility was purchased in 1987 and a 4,000-square foot vehicle storage building was added soon after. Also added were a loading dock, container storage area and an equipment cleaning pad. In 1991, an existing building on the complex was converted into the training center, Bobo said.
Plans are to be in the new office building by April.
Buckley Construction of Guthrie is the general contractor, and Bobo designed the office building. Buckley Construction did the engineering design portion.
At both the Edmond and Guthrie complexes, Environmental Management currently has 38 employees with an annual payroll in excess of $650,000. The expansion will allow about 20 to 25 employees to be added, said Bobo.
Employees that are based in Edmond also work out of the Guthrie plant at times, said Marilyn Pulliam, billing secretary. The sales force and accounting staff are based in Edmond, but after the expansion, all employees excluding the accounting staff are to be moved to Guthrie.
Environmental Management is an environmental management firm that assists companies in proper management of their hazardous material and industrial waste needs according to local, state and federal regulations, said Bobo.
The company is an industrial and hazardous waste handler, and the complex in Guthrie is a transfer area, but the waste is not disposed of there, said Bobo.
"The overall environmental field is growing due largely to ever increasing rules and regulations, but we also have an outstanding group of professionals employed at EMI. …

I hadn't seen this movie in a good 10 years. Ever since I sold my VHS tapes way back when I'd never rebought this film. Got it on Black Friday for $5 and it was like watching it all over again mostly new.
It's director Ridley Scott's preferred version with the unicorn dream sequence. I know people say that possibly Decker was an android but I don't see it. I would like to know where they'd have gone had a sequel been made.
Someone was bound to hunt them down or at least her and they'd get Decker for harboring I suppose. The standard DVD looked great so I bet the Blu-Ray looks great.

The New No-Excuses Way to Work Out
There are a lot of excuses—or hurdles if you will—that get in the way of our intentions to work out. Not enough time. Not enough money. Fear of being judged by others. Not having easy or affordable access to equipment or a gym. Not enough options that fit your schedule. Traveling all the time. Not knowing what to do on your own. Not having childcare. Bad weather.
Most of us have dealt with a number of these hurdles more than once in our lifetime. The truth is that working out is hard. All of these things are barriers that make it even more difficult to get and stay fit.
But there are a lot of amazing innovations that are bringing fitness to more people in ways that help you jump many of the hurdles above. One of my favorites recently launched. And while it sounds too good to be true that this one solution is affordable, accessible, flexible, easy to follow—and can help you get fit anywhere on your own time—it's true. Read More ›

Try This Quick Workout to Get Trim and Toned From Head to Toe
Short on time but still want to squeeze in a good sweat session? You're not alone. "Lack of time" is the No. 1 reason people cite for not exercising regularly. It's easy to think that if you don't have an hour or more to dedicate to exercise, then what's the point. But quite honestly, short workouts really do have a big impact on your health and your workout—and that is especially true when you do the right types of workouts.
When you need an efficient workout to make the most of your time, that's where smart training techniques like interval training, circuit training and multi-joint exercises come in. All of these approaches help people get better results even when they're short on time.

A No-Nonsense Walking Workout in 30 Minutes
You've probably been hearing the term 'HIIT' (which stands for high intensity interval training) a lot lately--especially when it comes to describing effective, efficient cardio exercise. And while HIIT offers many benefits, including an increased calorie burn both during and after your workout along with better endurance and improved cardiovascular fitness, it can be very intense, especially if you are new or returning to exercise. Plus, many HIIT routines include challenging moves (like burpees, squat thrusts or mountain climbers) that can be really difficult to execute properly so quickly, especially if you are working with an injury or physical limitations.

A Must-Watch Video: The Real Bears
A day or so ago, a friends shared a video on Facebook. The preview was a photo of bears. He has kids, and I have cats, so I didn't pay much attention. Then a co-worker sent around an email about the same video. That's when I took notice. Wow!
Have you seen the video about the real bears yet? I don't want to spoil the story, but this is a must-watch video (with over 1/2 million views as of Friday morning!) for anyone who's committed to a healthier lifestyle. Take a few minutes to check out the video and then let's discuss. Read More ›
Watch: Blogger Takes on the Haters Who Called Her Fat
Posting anything on the internet can bring a lot of comments and feedback -- some positive and some negative. I wonder though, if it weren't for the anonymity of the internet would the same people that leave negative comments and feedback say the same thing in person? I doubt that they would, so when you get brave people to post blogs and videos, they open themselves up to a lot of scrutiny. Our very own Coach Nicole experienced this several years ago with comments made about her on her YouTube workout videos. I don't know if I could've taken those negative comments as well as Coach Nicole, but I didn't believe one word of the negative comments that were posted.

Panic about panic: Russia and the world-system today
One doesn't hear much discussion of these foreign policy issues in Russia. What one hears discussed instead is how best to handle the acute budgetary shortfall that the Russian state is facing.
One doesn't hear much discussion of these foreign policy issues in Russia. What one hears discussed instead is how best to handle the acute budgetary shortfall that the Russian state is facing.
A weekly review including: Oil and the Global Economy, The Middle East and North Africa, China, Russia/Ukraine, Quote of the Week, The Briefs.
The possibility of a new Cold War between Russia and the United States and its NATO allies brings with it the spectre of nuclear war.
Russia and China have signed two large natural gas deals in the last six months as Russia turns its attention eastward in reaction to sanctions and souring relations with Europe, currently Russia's largest energy export market. But the move has implications beyond Europe.
There is a case regarding market efficiency for overturning America's oil export ban, but this is NOT the one the industry is using in its public relations campaign. That's because increased efficiency in the world oil market would actually make the country's oil supply more vulnerable to events …
As a former correspondent in Kiev, Moscow and Georgia I find the attempt to link the Ukraine conflict with pipelines and natural resources is highly debatable.
There is no U.S. oil and gas export "weapon" to aim at Russia to counter its moves in the Ukraine. The U.S. isn't even supplying its own needs. But you wouldn't know that from media reports and editorials in the last week.
Waltzing with the Russian bear has never been a feat Europe was able to handle. With the fall of the Yanukovych regime already accomplished, the EU is now on a collision course with Moscow, which has threatened to cut off gas supplies to Ukraine in an effort to strong-arm the new administration …
Ukraine is shaping up to be a lot like Yugoslavia, except with more than twice as many people, lots of crazed street fighters who think they now own the place, and a role critical to European energy security. If you aren't in shock about this, then you haven't been paying attention.
Global gas flaring--the burning of natural gas associated with oil extraction processes--remains stubbornly high. We examine the determinants of gas flaring in three prominent cases: Russia and Nigeria as the two largest emitters of flare gas, and the United States as a rapidly expanding …

The Harrison County Thorobreds let two scoring opportunities slip through their fingers in the first quarter and dropped an exciting game Friday night at the Athletic Complex.
The Breds wrapped two long drives around a Greenup County score in the first period to trail 8-0 after one quarter of play.
Coach Larry Kendall welcomed two starters back from last year's 2014-15 region semi finalists Thorobreds.
The catch is that they just started Monday after finishing the football season.
Four of the six returning varsity players played football, including senior starters Zack Pulliam and Brock Jenkins along with sixth man Jovon Williams.
The Harrison County Fillies soccer team held its post season awards banquet Monday night with Coach Kevin Gaunce handing out bars, letters and numerals to the junior varsity and varsity players in attendance. This ceremony followed a meal served at Biancke's.

Plans finalized for
Breds to play in Indy Feb. 6
The much-talked-about game now has concrete plans as the Harrison County Thorobreds will face the Collins Titans Feb. 6. This was scheduled to be a home game for the Thorobreds but instead will be played in Banker's Life Arena in Indianapolis.
Tickets for the event are $14.80 each.
Veteran's Day is Wednesday, which will be either the day you get the paper or the day before, depending how your paper gets to your house.
Veterans are the people who make it so we can play our sports so it is fitting I think to write about veterans in sports.
I will leave people out so please understand the intent of writing is to honor our veterans and do not focus on someone left out.
Readers who are older than me will understand much more than those younger about what people had to endure during war time and times of unrest.
The Colt Classic in Danville was made up of some of the stronger bowling teams in Louisville as well as teams from Tennessee and central Kentucky. There were 13 teams in the boys' competition and 11 teams in the girls' competition.
The Fillies finished in second place only 19 pins behind Graves County in the qualifying rounds.
Harrison County missed a few easy spares in the Baker matches and finished third, 100 points out of second for the tournament.

In 1981, UPS began air services and in the 1990s it tried, legislatively and judicially, to be put under the RLA. In 1993 UPS said all its operations, "including ground operations," are properly subject to the RLA "because the ground operations are part of the air service." FedEx (BEG ITAL)supported(END ITAL) UPS' efforts, even though the vast majority of UPS parcels never go on an airplane, whereas FedEx's trucking operations exist to feed its air fleet and distribute what it carries.
FedEx characterizes itself as the "world's most effective airline" and UPS as "a 100-year old trucking company." FedEx, Smith insists, is not anti-union; its pilots are unionized. He says that the pay and benefits for its drivers are, on average, higher than those of UPS drivers, and that new FedEx drivers must wait only three months to be eligible for benefits whereas UPS drivers must wait a year. Nevertheless, today's Democratic majority in Congress, with UPS now aligned with the Teamsters, wants to put FedEx's ground pickup and delivery operations under the NLRA, thereby making FedEx's entire integrated system susceptible to disruption by local disputes.
"Bailout" is now both a noun and a verb, and FedEx characterizes what Congress might do for UPS as the "Brown Bailout." But properly used, "bailout" denotes a rescue of an economic entity from financial distress. Although UPS is suffering from the recession, so is FedEx. Furthermore, UPS, whose revenue is 36 percent more than FedEx's, began advocating this injury to FedEx long before this recession.
What UPS is doing is called rent-seeking -- bending public power for private advantage by hindering a competitor. This practice, which expands exponentially as government expands arithmetically, is banal but can have entertaining ricochets:
If Congress makes FedEx's operations more precarious by changing the law to make it easier for local disputes to cripple its operations, Smith says a multibillion-dollar order for 15 Boeing 777s will be automatically canceled. One of the unions lobbying on behalf of UPS and the Teamsters is the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, whose members make 777s.

Lululemon Athletica has named a former Walgreens executive as the athleisure company's next digital chief.
Although Lululemon CEO Laurent Potdevin recognizes that there is still much to be done, he praised the company's "meaningful" progress on building a scalable foundation for its next phase of global growth.
New Lululemon CEO Laurent Potdevin said 2014 is a year for investing, strengthening the company's foundation, reigniting its product engine and accelerating sustainable and controlled global expansion.
Lululemon has named former Toms president Laurent Potdevin as the company's CEO and elected him to its board of directors. Potdevin succeeds Christine Day, who has served as the company's CEO since 2008 and announced her intention to resign in June 2013.
