Wicca Series: What makes someone Wiccan?
Supporting Each Other
I'm tired and it isn't even 10 AM yet. It's been a long week. Without any other considerations I'd probably spend the weekend in bed with a book.Instead I'll be going to an initiation ritual with folks from church. Some of the people in my coven will be getting their first degree and it's a big deal for them. I want to be there to celebrate with them, to help out with the set up and clean up. As a neophyte I won't participate in ritual but hang out with the other neophytes and make sure the … [Read more...]

Initiation variety pack
I was first initiated into a religious tradition when I was twelve years old. I underwent a symbolic death and rebirth, was ritually cleansed, and was recognized as a member of the spiritual family with a celebratory feast. That is to say, I joined the Baptist church.Since then I've undergone several more initiations: into a Taoist temple, by the Gods, into Feri, and when defending my MFA thesis. They vary in details, but the same elements tend to be there in various combinations: a ritual … [Read more...]
Gardnerian Initiation and The Matrix
The Matrix is a metaphor I use frequently to talk about Gardnerian Initiation. There are three important parallels between the two: proactive choice despite ignorance of the outcome, trust in the team that is bringing you through to the other side, and an inability to unlearn or unremember that experience.Preparing a person for initiation is a difficult task. By definition, there's no possible way to prove to someone that the Matrix exists without taking them out of it. Likewise, initiation … [Read more...]

Comic Streaming NOWJournal Entry: Fri Jan 29, 2010, 9:52 PM
Streaming live NOW
Yes I shall be streaming the comic making process again tonight and should hopefully finish up the page to post here. I have no idea when exactly I'll be streaming because well... -puts on shame hat- My dad got the next 2 dvds of season 1 of Supernatural which I'm slowly starting to like. XD So whenever our eyes start to burn from watching 5-10 episodes, I'll turn the stream on.
And thank you to those who made me feel better last night on the stream and in the journal. For those who weren't on, my 3 year old rat, Giovanni, passed away. He lived far longer than most petstore rats should and went in his sleep. Now he can romp around with his brother Dante again. Sawyer and Locke now have run of the entire monster cage but it's still a bit weird not to see that fuzzy face greet me everytime I walk in the room.
So R.I.P Giovanni aka Mr. G, Gigi, old man, and of course the fuzzy lump. 83

What we are seeing now in Washington and other world capitals is fear we might be headed for an economic collapse caused by a collapse of demand caused by a collapse of credit. Confronted with that threat, governments seemingly cannot help turning to the remedy formulated by Keynes during the dark years of the early 1930s: stimulating demand by spending much more than they take in, preferably but not necessarily on useful public works like highways and schools.
He's not the only pundit taking notice. "(T)he Keynesians are back – and economists across the spectrum are calling for government spending," observed National Public Radio's Adam Davidson and Alex Blumberg on the January 29 edition of "All Things Considered." Progressive-left economist Jeff Madrick a year ago triumphantly declared our country to be at "the end of the age of Milton Friedman."
All the signs are present: Keynes is making a comeback. For nearly three decades, the founding figure of modern macroeconomics had been in eclipse among economists and politicians taking their advice. Now that he's taken center stage once more, a brief re-acquaintance would be in order.
John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) was a Renaissance man, something even his foes concede. Educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge, he began as a mathematician, doing pioneering work on probability theory and earning the praise of Bertrand Russell. He was a Bloomsbury wit, a renowned art collector and a multimillionaire investor. About that last one, he made a fortune in the stock market, lost it in the Great Crash of 1929, and made it back again through bargain investing that could have served as a model for Warren Buffett. But it is his legacy as an economist, whether with the British government or with Cambridge, for which he is remembered.
Keynes' best insights – and he did have some sound ones – tended to go unheeded. He warned, to no avail, of the consequences of imposing crushing reparations debt upon the defeated Germany following World War I. Had the victorious allies taken his advice at Versailles, the Germans most likely would not experienced civil war, runaway inflation, loss of national confidence and the rise of Adolf Hitler. And in 1925 he urged Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill not to return Britain to a prewar gold-based fixed monetary exchange rate. Churchill went ahead with his restoration plan anyway; Britain's economy, and Churchill's political career, each were worse for it.
"Keynesianism" would flower during the 1930s. Like all ideas, for better or worse, it has to be placed in historical context. John Maynard Keynes sought a way to stimulate investment at a time when it seemed to have evaporated. Here in the U.S. the situation had grown dire. Unemployment rose from a little over 3 percent in 1929 to 25 percent in 1933. Automobile production fell by 75 percent from a peak of 5 million. The M1 money supply (cash plus checks) contracted by 25 percent. Successful investors – which included Churchill as well as Keynes – took deep losses. People hoarded money in the face of price deflation. In absence of velocity, all the money in the world would be useless.
Government, Keynes argued, possessed the means to reignite investment and consumer spending. Yet he was not a socialist in the conventional sense. He cautioned that government should be the spender of the last resort. And he made no secret of his dislike of Marxism. In his 1931 book, Essays in Persuasion, Keynes wrote: "How can I accept the Communist doctrine, which sets up as its bible, above and beyond criticism, an obsolete textbook which I know not only to be scientifically erroneous but without interest or application to the modern world?" Moreover, inasmuch as he laid the foundation for a "Third Way," he was an admirer of the classical liberal tradition. His defining work, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936), referred to John Locke as "the great Locke." That work bore the unmistakable influence of Bernard Mandeville's Fable of the Bees, an early 18th-century allegorical poem which in recent decades has acquired libertarian cult status (it's the one about private vices becoming public benefits). And though Keynes made clear his opposition to his great free-market rival, Friedrich Hayek, he wrote of Hayek's 1944 work, The Road to Serfdom: "In my opinion it is a grand book…Morally and philosophically I find myself in agreement with virtually the whole of it: and not only in agreement with it, but in deeply moved agreement."
Keynes saw classical theory as valuable, but limited in its ability to convey the larger picture. Without an alternative set of explanations, nations forever would lack the tools to mitigate and prevent depressions. "General theory," as he called his thinking, could fill in the gaps of classical liberalism, in the process immunizing capitalism from overthrow.
The master word in Keynes' arsenal was "aggregate." Seen as separate entities, he argued, individuals and firms behave in rational ways. But as components of a national aggregate, they often behave highly irrationally, especially during a steep downturn. People being possessed a herd instinct – "animal spirits," as he called them – they prefer short-term to long-term thinking. Thus, he argued, if an individual sees others as unwilling to invest or spend, that person likewise will be reluctant. This "paradox of thrift" is why people hoard even against their best judgment. Breaking the impasse would require long-term coordination of fiscal and monetary policy by a single entity; i.e., a central government.
The late Robert Heilbroner, in his classic book, The Worldly Philosophers, likened the Depression to a stuck elevator. "Rather than a seesaw which would always right itself," he wrote, "the economy resembled an elevator: it could be going up or down, but it could also be standing perfectly still. And it was just as capable of standing still on the ground floor as at the top of the shaft." Keynes purportedly had the antidote to this "stickiness": centralized management of capital, credit and savings to achieve overall equilibrium. Properly synchronized, macroeconomic policy could end the Great Depression and guard against new ones. For him, general theory could conquer that age-old bugaboo, the business cycle.
Contrary to popular misconception, the administration of Franklin Roosevelt had little use for Keynes. Indeed, more than once it earned his rebuke. General theory would not become the accepted basis for economic forecasting and planning until the immediate aftermath of World War II, during which time Keynes died.
Did his ideas work? Neo-Austrian economist Robert Higgs argues they assuredly did not. Keynesianism merely gave the impression of working, he argues, because of price decontrol, deficit reductions and demilitarization – in other words, because of non-Keynesian measures. No matter. By the 1960s, "mainstream economics" and "Keynesian economics" meant virtually the same thing. Even the Kennedy White House's proposed tax cuts (enacted under LBJ) were part of a larger policy of deficit spending. It was Milton Friedman, not future President Richard Nixon, as commonly believed, who stated in the mid 1960s: "We are all Keynesians now." Friedman, in no way a Keynesian, uttered the words out of resignation, not celebration. The full quote was: "In one sense we are all Keynesians now; in another, no one is a Keynesian any longer. We all use the Keynesian language and apparatus; none of us any longer accepts the initial Keynesian conclusions."
Eventually, many, if not most, economists would look for a new vocabulary and tools, a search prompted by the chronic inflation and unemployment ("stagflation") of the Seventies. Stagflation, after all, was a logical impossibility in a Keynesian world. The election of Ronald Reagan as president in 1980, an unusually bad year for the economy, would accelerate the transformation of theory and practice.
The new revisionism took several forms: supply-side economics, which advocates maximizing favorable conditions for private investment, especially through tax reduction; rational expectations, which applies mathematical modeling to an assumption that people maximize their utility in accordance with market equilibrium; public choice, which holds that markets do not operate analogously to politics, and thus the latter must be made immune from capture by interest groups; and Austrian, which views economic decisions as rooted in participants' subjective motives unknowable to government or any other outside entity.
Though these schools of thought differed in their frame of reference, and often dramatically so, they shared an assumption that markets are self-correcting, or at any rate too complex to be understood or controlled by a single force. In their view, voluntary contractual agreement best adjudicates conflicting interests. Prices, not plans, ought to guide decisions because no group of persons, no matter how well-informed and even sympathetic to the market, even can predict the future let alone impose it on others. Ronald Reagan's presidency, though by political necessity often Keynesian in practice, moved market-based theory away from the fringes and into the mainstream. Indirectly, it led to economic growth in America and throughout the world – and well after Reagan's departure from office.
Yet despite Keynes' "fatal conceit" (to use Hayek's term) of assuming the possibility and desirability of central coordination of market knowledge on behalf of the great many, he remained on standby. And now in this, the age of Obama, he's been pressed into full-time active duty once again, and with a hard-left turn. The White House economic agenda, regrettably, is meeting with only modest resistance from the business community. Nobel laureate Robert Lucas, a leading proponent of the rational-expectations school, puts it this way: "I guess everyone is a Keynesian in a foxhole."
With the global financial system now in disarray, there is an ever-rising demand for foxholes. Barack Obama's election as U.S. president, dismaying as it was to any supporter of liberty, was no fluke. It rode an inchoate tidal wave of public disgust with behavior in the financial industry's executive suites. That this behavior was exacerbated by government favoritism was something his supporters chose not to see. But Obama is not something new under the sun despite his campaign theme of "change." Like the Clintons, only more so, the new president combines a progressive's desire to redistribute wealth and power with a Keynesian's faith in government expenditure as a corrective to downturns in private investment. Even new-school Keynesians such as Greg Mankiw (Harvard) and John Taylor (Stanford) dismiss as absurd the idea that the Obama stimulus plan will create millions of jobs. Coupled with continued Third World mass immigration, the stimulus can be seen as a plan for eliminating private-sector jobs.
Keynes wrote, famously, in the last paragraph of his General Theory: "Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back." On that, he surely was right. President Obama and his economic team might not be consciously invoking Keynes, but they are ratifying his legacy all the same. And the stimulus plan is only the beginning.

Ravens owner remains confident
Updated: January 20, 2011, 7:15 PM ETAssociated Press
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti is confident that offseason labor talks will result in an agreement that will enable the NFL to avoid a work stoppage in March.
"I just have to have hope that a bunch of smart people on both sides of this argument are going to get it done," Bisciotti said Thursday. "I still believe that we're going to have a full season next year."
Bisciotti said the key issue is "the revenue split is not working for the owners," adding that ...

We asked local candidates in contested primary elections to write a sub-750 word essay describing why residents should vote for them on June 24.
Next up is Duchy Trachtenberg, who is running for the Democratic nomination in the District 1 County Council race. Below is Trachtenberg's unedited response:
I'm running for Montgomery County Council from District 1 because it's time that politicians quit playing politics and put people first. I bring a solid record of accomplishment as both an activist and a legislator, and I have a passion for public service.
I have lived in District 1 for 25 years and care deeply about this community. I've worked here, raised my family here, made wonderful friends, joined with volunteers and activists to defend women's rights and advocate for the most vulnerable — this is my home, and I want it to thrive.
To me, the test of leadership is whether an elected official has the skill and intuition to make the machinery of government work, not just to deliver core functions but to sustain and strengthen a community's most deeply held values and beliefs.
My vision for this county is simple: to create a local economy that sustains all families and leaves no one behind. That's achievable but only if we work together recognizing our strengths while accepting our limitations. Everyone has to be in the room and that's what this campaign is about. For too long people have lost faith in the process and don't believe we can change and improve our county. Our campaign is about proving that we can.
Our first priority must be to create jobs — good paying jobs, that offer a path of advancement, that compete with other opportunities in the region. It's time for a long-term county economic development plan. I will help develop such a plan by working with the Executive branch, the business community, taxpayers and labor.
I'm clear on what we need to address in District 1 — school overcrowding, unacceptable road conditions, better public transportation including the Purple Line, and access to quality health services, especially for our seniors who are aging in place.
I am the only public health professional to ever serve on the Montgomery County Council, and I want to return as the Councilmember from District 1 to continue my record of service. As a Councilmember, I worked closely with the County Executive and the Department of Health and Human Services to secure increased federal grant funding for mental health programming, as well as programs that provided services for victims of domestic violence and women in need of reproductive health care. My Family Justice Center project has successfully helped almost 6,000 individual families touched by violence in just five years.
I've proposed the creation of Youth Resource Centers to provide comprehensive services to children, youth and families who are struggling with adolescence, behavioral health needs, substance abuse, academic challenges, family poverty and truancy. I successfully used this kind of private public partnership for domestic violence victims and it's worked — we have saved lives.
Our schools aren't keeping up with population growth, leaving our classrooms overcrowded and our children underserved. School buildings that used to be anchors of our communities now languish in disrepair. Unhealthy and unsafe trailers that were supposed to be temporary remain in place.
I'm in a hurry to fix our schools, and finger pointing is a waste of time. That's why I'm calling for a coordinated community response to modernize our schools and support our children. We need to speak with one voice in Annapolis as a team!
I am also a dedicated and enthusiastic supporter of the arts, and I want to work with the talented and creative individuals and groups here to develop an Arts Plan exclusive to District 1. Let's embrace our role as the Arts Capitol of Montgomery County and find innovative ways to engage businesses and the community at-large. And most importantly, let's put arts education back into the classroom. That unique exercise of creativity must become an integral part of every child's education and development. A vital Arts community is essential in any economic development plan we establish long-term.
Long after today's elected officials are out of office, the debates that seemed so contentious and sometimes even personal will fade in memory. What will endure are the values we exemplified in the political priorities we set. That is the true legacy we pass on to future generations.
I'm a mother, a social worker, an advocate, and a fighter. I'll be a progressive champion for District 1 on the County Council.

At roughly 3 times the size of our Outlet stores and showcasing almost our entire range of over 400 pieces, the 1500 sq ft Clogau Cardiff store is located at the heart of Wales's best shopping destination — St. David's Dewi Sant in Cardiff.
As a very proud Welsh business, Cardiff is undoubtedly the ultimate destination for us to open our first flagship store and as such we felt that St David's Dewi Sant – Wales' newest, biggest and best shopping destination – is the most desirable location.

Ancient Coins: New discovery?
By Wayne Sayles – Ancient Coin Collecting Blog An article posted December 2, 2013 in The Times of Israel caught my attention among many articles of interest in issue #825 of David Meadows' "Explorator". The headline "Oldest reference to Bohemian king found in Acre" was bolstered by a coin image purportedly representing a four-year-old […]

Usually, when you subscribe to an MMO, you expect that it's going to stick around long enough that you don't feel like you've, well, been robbed. Unfortunately, such was not the case with Realtime Worlds' short-lived cops 'n' robbers MMO All Points Bulletin, whose tombstone sadly reads "
." Between subscription fees and the initial price tag, then, one could certainly understand why players are getting off the ride and immediately asking for their money back. Unfortunately, for a little while, it looked like no one planned on ponying up.
"Customers should revert to the entity from which they bought the game in respect of their entitlement to any refund," joint administrator Paul Dounis said .
Ok then. Steam, what say you?
"As with most software products, we do not offer refunds or exchanges for purchases made online as outlined in the software license," said Valve.
Wait, that didn't help at all! But look! What's that in the sky? It's a bird. It's a plane. No – it's a large multimillion dollar corporation, swooping in to save the day with free stuff.
According to a Steam thread on the subject , players who've gone to publisher Electronic Arts with their disgruntled mumbles and grumbles have come away with $20 vouchers, refunds, and even free games. We suppose it's just like the old saying: "You can't spell 'apologize fre' without 'free.'" Hey, we never said it was a good saying.

Alexander Street Literature - Package
Alexander Street Literature brings together the hundreds of thousands of pages of poetry, short stories, novels, and non-fiction in eight Alexander Street individual literature collections, cross-searchable through a new interface.
This is the literature you don't have in your library through other online resources—in copyright, contemporary, global, and diverse. Rich in sociological and historical significance, Alexander Street Literature delivers the literatures of place, gender, and race. The package contains more than 600,000 pages of poetry and prose. Students and scholars of literature, history, diversity studies, politics, transatlantic studies, postcolonial history, geography, cultural studies, and anthropology can now explore these important works that have previously not been available.
Vast and continuously growing, Alexander Street Literature celebrates the creative achievements of authors from around the globe, including the broad literary output of Africa and its diaspora, Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, Europe, and other regions—along with the North American expressions of this rich world heritage. For libraries with authorized access, Alexander Street Literature is also cross-searchable with the Alexander Street Drama package.
Under the guidance of some of the world's leading faculty advisors, who help to select the content and write introductory and contextual commentaries, these collections meet the strictest scholarly standards.
Alexander Street Literature brings faculty and students:
- The definitive electronic space for the study of each specific literary area—crafted collections compiled by expert editors.
- The online "complete collected editions" of authors—including their early, rare, hard to access, or previously unpublished works. In most instances, these are the only collected editions available in any format.
- Access to important writers who have remained largely unstudied because only selected works have been published in the occasional anthology. Now, these authors and their complete works can either renter or newly enter the canon.
- Alexander Street's Semantic Indexing and uniquely powerful search capabilities, allowing users to make new discoveries and experience the literature in ways never before possible.
More than half of the works within Alexander Street Literature are otherwise inaccessible, previously unpublished, or in copyright. These works are not free on the Web, and in many instances not available anywhere in any format.
Access to rare and previously unpublished material is only the beginning of the value in Alexander Street Literature. Each text is re-keyed to 99.95% accuracy to ensure that searching is thorough and precise. Exceptionally detailed indexing allows users to explore and analyze the content in ways that are simply impossible in paper form. For example:
- Analyze how the occurrence of the words spider or Anansi have evolved over time within the tropes in Caribbean myth.
- Compare how poems from Chilean authors and those from Cuban writers address politics or political as subject.
- Examine how Derek Walcott treats themes of loneliness across his fiction.
There is also rich, supplementary material to inform the texts. For example, Scottish Women Poets and Irish Women Poets include essays by leading academics explaining the significance of the materials. In Black Short Fiction and Folklore, you can hear streaming audio recordings of Haya balladry and folktales, the original text simultaneously scrolling with their English-language transcriptions, allowing users to experience Haya oral tradition in new ways.
Subscribers to Alexander Street Literature have access to the following collections:
- Black Short Fiction and Folklore
- Black Women Writers
- Caribbean Literature
- South and Southeast Asian Literature in English
- Latin American Women Writers
- Latino Literature
- Irish Women Poets of the Romantic Period
- Scottish Women Poets of the Romantic Period
These collections deliver 660,000 pages of poetry, short fiction, essays, and novels.
Alexander Street Literature is available by annual subscription, with prices scaled to library budget. If your institution has already purchased perpetual rights to some of the individual collections that make up Alexander Street Literature, the subscription price to Alexander Street Literature is reduced proportionately. A library that owns all of the individual collections pays nothing at all for Alexander Street Literature.
If you are interested in a one-time purchase of perpetual rights of the individual collections, we offer special rates—with our largest discounts to libraries that purchase all of the collections. Please contact us for details.

How cheap is an old school PS3 selling for these days? NewEgg's eBay store has this refurb 160GB model down to $95. Lowest price we've seen for this model.
does this work in new zealand too?
The deal is for Arkham City, not Asylum :)
hah yeah. thanks for spotting :) who'd want to play that OLD game anyways. haha..
Hot dang, deal just got better! Its been a month since the PS3 Slim 160GB model is at the $199.99 flat rate, the deal is now back at GameStop with $8 shipping. GameStop just turned up the deal juice a bit more (that sounds dirty) and added in a choice of a free game, either Arkham City or Mortal Kombat. When you add either of those game to the cart, it'll automatically be free.
It's back! Yesterday Buy.com ran out of their Refurbished PS3 160GB Console for $199.99... but somehow they've managed to get more in. Lowest price ever for the 160GB console which, in new condition, has been selling for $250 since August (when it dropped from $300).

Exchange programme
Links from Article Text
Sciences Po's exchange programme welcomes more than 1,500 students each year from 410 partner universities around the world. At Bachelor's level, exchange students can choose from Sciences Po's seven campuses: Dijon, Le Havre, Menton, Nancy, Paris, Poitiers and Reims. Exchange students at Master's or PhD level study on the Paris campus.
Exchange students come to Sciences Po for one or two semesters and can study in English, French or in both languages.
The exchange programme is an excellent opportunity to discover Sciences Po's internationally-focused and professionally-relevant social science curriculum, distinctive teaching methods and vibrant student life.
Exchange programme admissions
The exchange programme is open to students at Sciences Po's partner universities. If your university is one of our partners, check with your home university if you are eligible for an exchange at Sciences Po.
Students nominated by the home university
Sciences Po requires its partners to nominate online the students they have selected to come on an exchange to Sciences Po.
Nomination takes place twice a year: in March/April for the autumn semester and September/October for the spring semester.
For more information on online nominations for the Sciences Po exchange programme, universities should consult the user guide (FR, PDF, 850Kb).
Partner universities have secure access to their information and can track the status of their students' application at any time.
Application submissions
Once nominated by their home university, students receive an email inviting them to complete and submit their application form online with the following documents attached:
- Curriculum Vitae (in English or French)
- Cover letter outlining their study plan at Sciences Po
- ID photo
- Academic transcript
- Language test results
Confirmation of admission
Once the application has been reviewed and approved by Sciences Po, a confirmation of acceptance is sent by email to the student and his or her university. Admitted students also receive their Sciences Po username (ID) and password so they can activate their email address and access their online student account.
Obtaining a temporary enrolment certificate
Students can download a temporary enrolment certificate from their online student account as proof that they have been accepted into the Sciences Po exchange programme.
Connect to your Student Account > Administration > Student visa > Administrative certificates.
Receiving the enrolment certificate
Students' enrolment certificates are sent directly to their home university.
Prepare for your stay
Congratulations, you have been accepted! Now it's time to prepare for your exchange.
Start by finding out what you need to do straight away; this includes completing your administrative registration and course registration and, in some cases, applying for a visa for your stay in France.
Then browse through the Welcome pages to find all the practical information you will need for your stay in France, as well as information on courses and studying at Sciences Po.
Academic calendar
Exchange students can study for one or two semesters at Sciences Po, depending on their home university's requirements.
Costs of studying in France
Exchange students pay their tuition fees to their home university, not to Sciences Po. However, students need to be able to cover the costs incurred by studying abroad such as travel expenses and health insurance.

You gotta realize that alot of things are mis-reported too also. Typically, payment for shows/tours is based on the contractual setup, as well as the institution that the show is for.
I'm an alumni of Florida Atlantic University, and every Halloween the college does an event called 'Freaker's Ball'...usually having a 2-headliner show. While I was student there, I helped out with Student Government to finalize these deals. For Freaker's Ball 2005...we contracted Ludacris & Field Mob (at the time they weren't signed to DTP yet) for the show. At that present time, Ludacris was asking for $40,000/show...but because it was a college institution, we were able to negoiate $24,000 for the show. Last year's they had Chamillionaire there for $36,000. For Freaker's Ball 2007, the student board was trying to negoiate for a Nas & Kelis show. They were asking for $70,000, and last time I spoke to them, the Board got them down to about $54,000 for the show. (Problem, the college will only cover up to a budget of $48,000 for Freaker's Ball every year).
So, although you're gonna find articles and stuff...alot of them are going to be misquoted. You gonna have to ask some sources that have actually worked on the deals, because while people have 'asking' prices...they usually are always negoiated down.

And YES, the Freaker's Ball is open to the public. Student tickets are half-priced, public tickets are full price. Even at that though, it's still pretty cheap.
Here's a rundown of the Freaker's Balls while I was a student there:
(2006) Chamillionaire
(2005) Big Boi & k!ller Mike
(2004) Ludacris & Field Mob
(2003) Black Eyed Peas
(2002) Paid In Full Tour [Cam'Ron, Dipset, CNN, MOP, & Naam Brigade]
(2001) Mos Def & Q-Tip
And mind you, the school's budget every year for this event is about $48,000, so don't trip and believe all those crazy numbers people are saying.

Update: I talked to Slin-K (president of bsu @ FAU)...and he's saying, that he's not on the board for it, but at the council meetings that they are suggesting that they are trying to get Lil Wayne & Baby for Freaker's Ball 2007. As soon as someone scans a flyer and sends it to me, I'll let yall know if that's for sure who it is.
PS -- while searching for "FAU + Freaker's Ball 07" I found a miami artists' Myspace page who's named Casely, and his page is saying that he is opening up for Lil Wayne at FAU, Boca Raton, FL on Nov. 5th.

It's better than nothing, but it's definitely not as good as some other options out there. Of course I find it's better to spend time preventing problems from cropping up to begin with rather than spend all kinds of time worrying about containment and cleanup. Even if all you do is get people to use Firefox or Chrome instead of Internet Explorer, you've just made it so probably 90% of all malware out there is effectively kneecapped. The rest of my usual assortment of tips is as follows.
The more of these suggestions you follow, the fewer problems you should have. They won't solve any existing problems you have, but if you follow them all you should be able to avoid virtually all problems in the future.
Things you should NOT do
1: Use Internet Explorer (1)
2: Use any browser based on Internet Explorer (e.g. Maxathon and MSN Explorer)
3: Use Outlook or Outlook Express (2)
4: Open email attachments you haven't manually scanned with your virus scanner
5: Open email attachments you were not expecting, no matter who they appear to be from
6: Respond to spam messages, including using unsubscribe links
7: Visit questionable websites (e.g. porn, warez, hacking)
8: Poke unnecessary holes in your firewall by clicking "Allow" every time some program requests access to the Internet (3)
9: Click directly on links in email messages
10: Use file sharing or P2P programs
11: Use pirated programs
Things you SHOULD do
1: Use a non-IE or IE based browser (4)
2: Always have an up to date virus scanner running (5)
3: Always have a firewall running (6)
4: Install all the latest security updates (7)(8)(9)
5: Delete all unsolicited emails containing attachments without reading
6: Manually scan all email attachments with your virus scanner, regardless of whether it's supposed to be done automatically
7: Copy and paste URLs from email messages into your web browser
8: Inspect links copied and pasted into your web browser to ensure they don't seem to contain a second/different address
9: Establish a regular backup regimen (10)(11)
10: Make regular checks of your backup media to ensure it is still good (12)
Being a considerate Internet user & other online tips
1: Do not send attachments in emails (13)(14)
2: Do not use stationary or any other kind of special formatting in emails (13)
3: Do not TYPE IN ALL CAPS (15)
4: Avoid texting speak or "l33t speak" (16)
5: Do not poke sleeping bears (17)
6: Do not use registry cleaners/fixers/optimizers (18)(19)
Offline tips and suggestions
1: Avoid buying Acer, HP. Compaq, Gateway, and eMachines computers (20)(21)(22)(23)
2: Avoid sub-$500 systems that aren't netbooks or part of some limited time price promotion (24)
(1) Sadly sometimes this is unavoidable, so only use IE when the site absolutely will not work with any other browser and you cannot get that information/service anywhere else, and only use IE for that one specific site.
(2) Outlook and Outlook Express are very insecure, and basically invite spam. The jury is still out on Vista's Windows Mail, but given Microsoft's history with email programs, extreme caution is advised. Possible replacements include Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora, The Bat, and dozens of others.
(3) When it doubt over whether or not to allow some program, use Google to find out what it is and whether or not it needs access to the Internet. Otherwise, denying access is the safest course of action, since you can always change the rule later.
(4) On Windows your options include: Mozilla Firefox, Seamonkey, Opera, Flock, Chrome, and Safari. I would personally recommend Firefox with the NoScript extension for added security, but it the important thing is to pick one and use it instead of IE.
(5) AVG Free and Avast are available if you need a decent free virus scanner
(6) XP/Vista's firewall is probably good enough for 99% of all Windows users, but other options include ZoneAlarm, Outpost Firewall, and Comodo. If you have a router with a firewall built into it, there is no need for any of the aforementioned firewalls to be running.
(7) Microsoft's usual system is to release security updates every second Tuesday of the month.
(8) Use of Windows Update on Windows operating systems prior to Windows Vista requires Internet Explorer, and is thus a valid exception to the "No IE" rule.
(9) Service packs should ALWAYS be installed. They frequently contain security updates that will ONLY be found in that service pack.
(10) You can go with a full fledged backup program, or simply copying important files onto a CD/DVD/Flash drive.
(11) I'd recommend a tiered backup system. For example, you might have 5 rewritable DVDs, and every day you burn your backup onto a new disc. On the 6th day, you erase the disc for Day #1 for your backup, and so on so that you have multiple backups should one disc ever go bad.
(12) Replace rewritable CDs and DVDs approximately every 3-6 months.
(13) These dramatically increase the size of email messages (2-3X minimum) and clog up email servers already straining to cope with the flood of spam pouring in daily.
(14) If you want to share photos with friends/family, upload them to some photo sharing site like Flickr or Google's Picasa Web and then send people a link to that particular photo gallery.
(15) This is considered to be the same as SHOUTING and many people find it to be hard to read along with highly annoying.
(16) Unless the goal is to make yourself look like a pre-adolescent girl, or someone overcompensating for their gross inadequacies, and you don't want people to take you seriously.
(17) Most REAL hackers are quite content to leave you alone unless you make them take notice of you. No dinky little software firewall or consumer grade router is going to keep them out of your system. So do not go to some hacker website or chat room and start shooting your mouth off unless you're prepared to accept the consequences
(18) Most of these programs are scams, and sell you something you don't need. Most of them report non-issues in an attempt to boost the number of "issues". Sometimes using these programs can lead to a non-functioning computer.
(19) The Windows registry is not some mystical black box of untapped performance tweaks for Windows, that will lead to untold improvements in system performance. Most of the tweaks will lead to very modest performance gains of 1-2% tops, and probably less than 10% all combined. There is also a good chance that you will render your system unbootable if you make a mistake when editing. Registry default settings are set that way for a reason. Just do yourself a favor, and forget you ever heard of the Windows registry unless you are a computer programmer/debugger and your job requires knowledge of the registry.
(20) Acer now owns Gateway and eMachines
(21) HP owns Compaq
(22) Hardware failures seem far more common with these brands than can be considered normal
(23) These companies use cheap labor in Asian countries were working conditions are often what would be considered sweat shops, and are run by brutal dictatorships, which you are supporting by buying from these companies
(24) If you just do some simple math, and realize that the cost of individual components like the CPU are around 25-33% of the total retail cost of the system, and everyone involved in the making and selling of the system is looking to make a profit, how much money can they possibly be making on each system. And if you're only making a few pennies on every system, how much quality control do you really think is going to go into the manufacturing process?
hey guys, i read some reviews from earlier this year about MSE and how it failed alot of tests, but recently i have read some new reviews that microsoft was working on that and making MSE better since then. whenever i fix some computers up for family members and friends i usually always install MSE with Malwarebytes to give them an initial free wall of protection to work with, should i not be using MSE?? should i be using avast instead, since i have read good reviews about avast, but also some bad. do you guys recommend something different or better? any input is greatly appreciated. i personally like MSE, but if its protection is crap, then of course id switch.
thanks everyone

I've been meaning to type this up all weekend, but I took an almost computer free weekend. It feels good to get away from the computer every now and again!!
You may have noticed that I never posted my last recipe from February's Cookbook of the Month – The Gourmet Slow Cooker Volume II. That's because it was a complete D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R!!! There are a few dessert recipes listed in the book, and the particular recipe was a cake that is cooked in the slow cooker for 2 1/2 hours on high. Well, I should have made this when I was going to be home to watch it, but I wasn't home, and my errands took longer than expected. I came home to a burnt mess that took 2 days of soaking to get my slow cooker clean. I'm not blaming the recipe – this was definitely user error! The review of this cookbook will follow the announcement of March's cookbook of the month.
I am pretty proud of myself. I haven't bought a new cookbook in over a month now. That is all going to change pretty soon, because I have an Amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket, but for March, I decided to use a cookbook that I already own but haven't made anything from. This month's cookbook is The Cookie Book by Catherine Atkinson. The particular copy I have I bought at Costco a few months back. It is a paperback edition, and I'm not actually sure if it is the same as the cookbook pictured. Oh well. I'm super excited for this book, because not only does it have cookies, but it also has many bars, muffins, biscuits and brownies. There are some of the usually cookie recipes you can find in most books, but there are also some cookies that I have never heard of that sound interesting and delicious!
Now for the review…
I think slow cookers are one of those things you either love or you hate. I am a lover, even though I think it is pretty difficult to find a recipe that is more than a few chicken breasts covered in bbq sauce. I bought this cookbook after seeing Katerina's Korean Ribs. I was amazed that these came out of a slow cooker, so I ordered the book. And although I am still working on making my slow cooker food pretty, I have really enjoyed this book. I only made it through 3 recipes that I have posted here, but I do plan on making many more. These aren't all your typical slow cooker recipes where you just throw everything in the pot and let it cook all day – many of them call for a bit more attention, but for a weekend when I am home but just busy with other things – this cookbook will be my go-to. There are a few complaints I have about the book, but they are minor. The first complaint I have already mentioned in a previous post – the ingredients are not very specific. While I don't think this is always important, sometimes (like with the baked beans) I think a little help is needed. My only other complaint is that the size of slow cooker recommended for each recipe is not listed. For the disaster dessert I used, if I would have used my 6 1/2 quart slow cooker, it would have burnt much worse!! I think it would be helpful if a range of sizes recommended for each recipe was listed for each recipe. There is still a lot I want to try from this book, including a successful dessert. There is one that I will be making this summer when peaches are in season!!
Recipes made from The Gourmet Slow Cooker Volume II
Chicken Adobo
New England Baked Beans
Green Posole
I'll be back tomorrow with more food!!
14 Responses to Cookbook of the Month Review
I totally cheat and buy Chicken Adobo from Trader Joes. I know…
But I saw your recipe earlier and have been waiting for the final verdict on the book. Guess I'm gonna have to break my resolution to quit buying cookbooks~ doh!
I love slow cooker recipes tho- it so freakin rocks to come home after working all day to a kitchen filled with warm dinner smells.
I bought The Cookie Book from Costco, too! Does yours have bright blue on the cover? I'm making some yummy bars from that tomorrow.
My slow cooker is an untamed machine for me too!
Your new cookie book looks lovely! Wonder if the UK Costco's have it, hmmm.
Yay! Cookies! I'm very excited. I'm like a big blue furry muppet when it comes to cookies!
Thanks for the review of the slow cooker book. I think I'll try some of the recipes you have posted and see how they go. I might need the slow cooker if I have to have the surgery.
i haven't bought a book in ages. I tried to buy some on amazon , but they don't deliver to Hk or to Africa .. :(( so I'll just have to wait till i get back to Hong Kong. I miss my bookstore
I like the cookbook reviews. I like your honesty. I'm not too big on slow cookers, anyway.
Looking forward to the cookie book! I think you know how much I love cookies.
hmmm..cookbooks…I love cookbooks. I need to check them out. thanks!
good slow cooker recipes? who would have thought! I'll need to check it out, ours does not get enough use.
fyi: I tagged you in a meme.
Too bad not all the recipes were a success from this cookbook. Crockpot recipes are always great on days full of baking when my attention is elsewhere. Thanks for some good ideas.
Funny, as much as I love my slow cooker, I'm very hesitant to leave it alone while I'm off for the day.I always fear somthing will happen. Mainly we use it on the weekends and when we are not gone for long periods of time. Can"t wait to see your cookies.
Sorry to hear about the cake. On the other hand, I'm looking forward to the cookie recipes.
I'm a cookie crazy (you must know that already, right?) so I can't wait to see the recipes you'll be baking! Yay!
Can't wait to see what you make from The Cookie Book!
Hooray for a cookie/bars, etc book. I can't wait to drool at the pictures you'll be posting!
Oh, I don't know if you've heard this tip, but since I am often left soaking pans, you can throw a bounce sheet in the water and it will literally make burnt on stuff slide right off.

Clarins Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Lotion
60 reviews
45% would repurchase
Package Quality: 3.6
Price: $$$
Package Quality: 3.6
Price: $$$
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I received a free 30mL sample of this at the Clarins counter and am not impressed. This does not work! I tried to remove my MAC liquidlast liner off with it but it barely budged. Drugstore makeup removers work better than this and there are better gentle alternatives.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
I got this as a gift and honestly I think it sucks. Although it claims that it is gentle, it actually stings my eyes when I use it to remove eye makeup. And it doesn't even remove waterproof mascara and eyeliner well. It smells weird but tolerable. The only good thing about it is that it is not oily.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
I received this product in a gift with purchase set and I am SO glad I didnt purchase it first! Its a pretty good size for traveling and its supposed to condition your lashes, the only problem is I cannot get my mascara off with it! It takes off my shadow but not the base I use before my shadow, and for that to happen (like the bottle says) I had to soak the cotton pad first. Too much work and left my eyes red from rubbing.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
clarins has two eye makeup removers. one works, and one doesn't. this is the one that doesn't.
i bought it by mistake as it was stocked with my preferred choice (the Instant eye makeup remover) and i didnt read the box to check. i cursed when i opened the box.
i figured the difference could not be sooo huge, after all Clarins is a good brand, so i would try and use it up. well i found it so useless that i went and bought the Instant, despite having 95% of this left. i was having to tug way too hard on my eyelids with this, and i always woke up with raccoon eyes the next day. even using more of this the next morning to clean up the excess didn't get it all erased. thumbs down. ONLY plus is that it didnt burn my eyes
Age: 25-29
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Cool
Hair: Other, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Blue
Gently reomoves my eye makeup. I keep a small jar with cotton rounds and pour my remover in there to make my own pre-soaked pads. I place them on my eyes for a few seconds and wipe off gently. Removes everything without stinging or burning. I have heard people can use it to put there contacts in it's so gentle!!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Just bought a bottle of this remover as the new Guerlain one BURNS my eyes like crazy! I've used this product before and I think it does the job well without any irritation. If I wear waterproof eye makeup then I use Chanel's dual-phase remover. This Clarins remover and the Orlane cleansing serum for eyes are the only two I re-purchase with any frequency. Give this a try!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I have tried so many eye makeup removers but I keep coming back to this one.
Eye makeup just seems to glide off. I use the extra heavy makeup one for sensitive eyes - it's excellent. You'll never need any other kind.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Very Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
This has been my HG, and my only product for about 15 years. I love how it's so gentle, and leaves no residue. I've been told by Clarins employees that you can use it as saline/eyedrops in a pinch (I cannot comment - I've never done this).
When I have used other products in a pinch (travel or samples), I'm always disappointed. The product is relatively expensive, but a bottle lasts me at least six months (I don't track precisely because I know I'll just buy more - I love it so!). I highly recommend!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I like the non oily feel of this eye make up remover, but other than that there is nothing remarkable about it.
My eyes aren't sensitive, so I can't test the gentle claim accurately. It doesn't sting my eyes, but nothing really does.
I wear waterproof mascara that it didn't take off. I wouldn't repurchase.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Other, Fine
Eyes: Blue
This is the best eye makeup remover I've ever used ( I've tried many). It's also the first eye makeup remover that I can use while still wearing my contact lenses without any irritation or stinging. I love it and will continue to repurchase unless I can find a cheaper alternative.
