Thank you to all of you for joining us today. I appreciate both your flexibility and understanding on our call timing. Today we share our continuing progress in building our business with attractive, strong first quarter results. Total customers increased 21% year-over-year with the addition of 230,000 net new customers in the first quarter. Service revenues were up 24% year-over-year from the attractive customer growth and stable ARPU performance we've achieved. The business produced a 59% year-over-year increase in adjusted OIBDA, nearly $119 million representing both our progress on our existing business and with our new initiatives. Our existing business OBIDA grew 80% year-over-year reaching approximately $135 million as margin percentage increased to 34% up over 10 points year-over-year.
As we look at customer growth the business saw strong customer activity begin after Black Friday in the fourth quarter and as evidenced by these results it has continued. The 230,000 new customers added were across the business and delivered with both the expected ARPU and better than expected CPGA. Our first quarter results reflect typical customer buying patterns as well as the introduction of several new handsets. During the quarter we introduced the Cricket EZ handset, a new low cost handset that typically sells for less than $100 and is available to promote as low as $50. We also continue to see the progress with our footprint expansions which we'll update you with our progress on this call.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Fresh from leading unbeaten UConn to the NCAA championship, Geno Auriemma is set to become coach of the U.S. women's basketball team through the 2012 Olympics.
Auriemma will serve as head coach for the next three years, a person familiar with the hiring told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made.
A news conference was scheduled for Wednesday in Storrs, Conn., home of the Huskies.
This year, the 55-year-old Auriemma guided Connecticut to its sixth national championship and third perfect season. He will serve as head coach through the Summer Games in London.

Support from players for Médecins Sans Frontières saves lives in South Sudan.
14th May 2013
Plant nursery project helps people across North Ayrshire gain skills for employment
North Ayrshire Council's Cabinet has backed plans to support the Hazeldene Horticulture social enterprise – a partnership between the Council, ENABLE Scotland and Impact Arts which started to grow thanks to £98,000 funding from players of People's Postcode Lottery.
The project, based at the Hazeldene Resource Centre in Kilwinning, will establish a plant nursery employing people aged 18 to 65 with learning disabilities, to help them move into jobs. Once established, the project will create jobs for eight people. The project will also support 44 individuals with training and employment opportunities each year.
Enterprise Manager at ENABLE Scotland, Doreen Walkinshaw, said: "We believe that the Hazeldene project will flourish to produce life transforming opportunities for young people and adults with learning disabilities across North Ayrshire.
"Like anyone else, most people with learning disabilities want to get a decent job, get on in life and make friends. The overall goal of Hazeldene Horticulture is that more adults and young people with additional support needs will have the opportunity to experience vocational training and move into real jobs. Hazeldene Horticulture will significantly increase the employability success for people with learning disabilities."
Trusts Manager at People's Postcode Lottery, Kate Pearson, said: "We are delighted that the support from players of People's Postcode Lottery has enabled the launch of Hazeldene Horticultural. This social enterprise will really make a massive impact on the local community and provide opportunities for those with learning disabilities to develop lifelong skills."
Impact Arts Chief Executive Lynne Carr said: "Impact Arts and ENABLE Scotland have a history of working together on projects that empower people with learning disabilities and the wider community in a way that is both innovative and creative. We have an extensive knowledge of the local environment, having worked in North Ayrshire for a number of years and our Urban Green team are raring to add creative flair to this brilliant social enterprise and employability project."
North Ayrshire Council Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care, Councillor Anthea Dickson, said: "This is a fantastic project that will help people with additional support needs to gain skills and employment opportunities. The project also fits with our growing emphasis on personalisation, helping to increase independence among those who use our services. Hazeldene Horticulture brings North Ayrshire Council and ENABLE Scotland together in a new public social partnership – the first of its kind for the local authority. It's a unique approach, backing a project that will offer people opportunities to receive support tailored for them."
North Ayrshire Council Cabinet Member for Economy and Employment, Councillor Marie Burns, said: "The partnership project will provide employment support for local people. The horticulture labour market is a developing sector. However, recent studies have indicated that there is a significant skills gap and shortage of people with knowledge in this area. By developing training and employment opportunities we can help to expand our skills base and grow the diverse range of businesses in North Ayrshire, helping to increase jobs and get more people into work."
North Ayrshire Council will support the £150,000 pilot project with groundwork services and a lease of land and property for £1. Further developments could see links established at Eglinton Park and other projects across North Ayrshire.
The pilot project will initially run for three years operated by ENABLE Scotland with the aim of making it a sustainable social enterprise offering high quality services and opportunities for local people. North Ayrshire Council's Cabinet backed the proposals at a meeting on Tuesday 31st April.
A consultation event for residents to hear about plans and ask questions takes place at Hazeldene Resource Centre on Tuesday 14th May from 6pm. For more information about the project, please contact ENABLE Direct on 03000200101.

Written by: Julia Hardy
Several women were among the first, if not the first, Japanese Buddhists to be ordained, having traveled to Korea in the 6th century for that purpose. By the 9th century in Japan, however, before Zen had been established as a separate sect, the sacred mountains of both Tendai and Shingon Buddhism were declared off-limits to women. These restrictions were not lifted until early in the 20th century. Many establishments also refused to ordain women. Japanese women were not deterred, and they created a new category of Buddhist clergy for themselves: they shaved their heads, wore robes, and practiced as rigorously as did the men.
The 11th century Japanese founder of Soto Zen, Dogen, was known to have accepted female monastics and lay students. There are some contradictions in his writings, but at times he actively encouraged Zen practice by women. However, women were generally not steered toward the Buddhist clergy as an avocation. As in China, Japanese women who became nuns did so for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they wished to avoid marriage; sometimes they longed for an education; sometimes they were widowed at an early age or were in impoverished circumstances. Occasionally women from noble families became nuns, and their presence could bring fame, visitors, and financial benefits to the temples where they resided.
At the dawn of the 20th century, Buddhist nuns in Japan were required to wear the robes of novices regardless of age or experience. Soto Zen nuns had no training facilities and were not allowed to attend the main university of the sect. At that time, as Japan began to modernize and was influenced by an active feminist discourse, groups of Soto nuns began to organize and build their own training facilities and schools, and were able to get them accredited. They demanded the right to designate dharma heirs, participate in Soto governance, wear different robes, and be heads of temples. They also began to hold Soto Sect National Assemblies of Monastic Women. Today the largest community of nuns in Japan is a Soto convent in Nagoya that houses around 3,000 nuns.
Like all Buddhist monastics, Zen monks and nuns took the precept to avoid sexual activity, but the precept was not always followed. Some had liaisons, either heterosexual or homosexual, and a few, like Ikkyu, were famous for their sexual exploits, but these were the exception, rather than the rule.
After the Meiji Restoration in Japan, Zen monks, like the monks of all other Japanese Buddhist sects, began to marry and have families. As Japanese influence extended into Korea, Korean Buddhist monks also began to marry. Buddhist monks in Vietnam and China have continued to take the vow of celibacy. Zen and other Buddhist nuns in Japan and Korea have chosen to remain celibate as well. At this time, there is no tradition of married female monastics anywhere in the Buddhist world, but the wives of Japanese priests sometimes go through a period of spiritual training similar to that of nuns, and are sometimes referred to as nuns.
Study Questions:
1. What is the relationship between family lineage and Buddhist rule?
2. How have gender roles affected the participation of women within Zen?
3. How did Dogen view the role of women?
4. Is celibacy important to Zen monks? Why or why not?

My son has lymph nodes in his neck, behind his head and groin.. very worried :-(
Hi, I've noticed when my son was 2 months old I felt one lymph node behind his head that was enlarged, I asked his pediatrician about it and she said this was from his eczema and cradle cap. Well about a month later I noticed he had some in his neck and groin as well. I assumed that they were also from the skin problems but I took him back to be on the safe side and got the same answer. The reason why i'm concerned is because his cradle cap and eczema is gone from his face and head for about 5 months now yet the lymph nodes are still there. (He still has eczema on his legs and feet, but that's it) I took him to an allergist and an ENT and they both felt them and said not to be concerned, and they probably will be that size forever. I feel like i'm going insane! They're the size of a peanut m&m. I just don't feel satisfied with these answers and it freaks me out because I can see them stick out when he turns his head :-( Has anyone else had this problem?

My 8week old has a total of 5 lymph nodes behind her head that I have found. And it freaks me out. But the Dr said that its normal and they can take a few months for them to go away or they can even stay forever. Unless they get swollen then you should go back to have them check it out again.posted 03/08/2014 by Emmsalazar
My son has an enlarged lymph node behind his ear. It has been there since he was very little, probably 2 months old. It seems to be more noticeable now , you can see it when he turns his head. he is now well over a year. I mention it to his dr every time we visit and he tells me it's fine. We had him to my dr over the holidays for a nasty cold and ear infection and had her have a look. She said it felt "friendly" and not to worry. She said that if it were her son she wouldn't do anything to it. We took him to a pediatrician this week to have it checked . ( it's been concerning us as you can tell ) he said that it was ok and only to worry if it swells or gets very red and painful. He asked us back n 3 months . Whch bugs me but i guess at least a dr is watching it now. Our little man had cradle cap rather bad too, has sensitive skin, a bit of eczema as well... And then of course teething and molars coming in.... I hope it s nothing to worry about, but It drives me crazy too.posted 01/19/2013 by pennynms
I got sick as a kid and my lymph nodes swelled. They never went back to regular size. The ones in my neck are the size of walnuts. I'm perfectly healthy and my doctors have never been concerned.posted 12/26/2012 by leefeedesigns

Summit Middle School student Teddy Schoenfeld to compete at 2014 Scripps National Spelling Bee
BOULDER, Colo. - A 13-year-old Boulder middle school student who is fascinated by spelling is getting ready to compete in the 2014 Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Teddy Schoenfeld started competing in his school's spelling bee in second grade. He came in second to a fifth grader the first year.
"I thought 'why not try it next year' and I won," Schoenfeld said.
Schoenfeld won in 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade and 6th grade. This year, in 7th grade, he won his school's spelling bee and the district's spelling bee.
Now he's on his way to the Scripps National Bee starting May 27.
"National is definitely the real deal," Schoenfeld. "National can pull words from anywhere."
Schoenfeld is now busy reviewing word lists, learning the roots of words and how to spell letters in different languages.
"Every word is made up of roots," Schoenfeld explained. "[I like] how words fit together. You learn a new root and see how it works with another word. It's really cool how words work together."
"It's not baseball, it's not a sport, but I'm fascinated by it," Schoenfeld said.
Wait? Baseball?
"I just love baseball, it's my thing," the spelling star explains. "I've loved baseball since I was a kid."
Yes, that's right. Schoenfeld isn't just studying for the National Spelling Bee, he's also playing baseball. He plays on a Boulder Bison tournament team traveling to Omaha and other cities to play.
He plays center field, left field and he pitches.
Schoenfeld is busy with baseball practice, going to school at Summit Middle School, homework, and then, spelling.
"I always thought I could spell those words when I saw it [the Bee] on TV," Schoenfeld said. "Now I'm going to be actually doing it."
And watching the Bee may help his younger brother.
"He's 6. He's not quite into spelling yet, but he's pretty good," Schoenfeld said.
Schoenfeld's dream is to become a professional baseball player. If that doesn't work out, he says being a journalist seems pretty cool or a sports broadcaster.
But on May 27, he'll be all about spelling as he begins the National Spelling Bee competition against 280 other spellers including another teenager from Colorado, 14-year-old Alex Jurich of Denver.
Learn more about Jurich on the National Spelling Bee website.
See Schoenfeld's official Bee biography.
Learn more about the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Colorado has had several students win the spelling bee:
- Dana Bennett, 1957 (co-champion)
- Joel Montgomery, 1959
- Katie Kerwin, 1979
- Jacques Bailly*, 1980
- Molly Dieveney, 1982
- Scott Isaacs, 1989
- Pratyush Buddiga, 2002
*Bailly is well known to Scripps National Spelling Bee fans because he is the official pronouncer of the bee and is seen during the Bee's broadcast each year giving the words to each speller. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Classics at The University of Vermont.
Scripps is the parent company of KMGH-TV & TheDenverChannel.com in Denver.

Cani really be this unlucky? RM/ebay
I can't believe what is going on with with regards to sending things in the post!
I sold an item to someone on ebay last week. I posted the item at the post office and got proof of postage. the buyer is saying that they haven't got the item, which they should have done as i sent it first class. It actually cost me more to post it than the buyer paid (initally it was collection only and it did say that in the ad)anyway they haven't recieved it.
On a separate issue, i send a birthday card with £15 in for my friends daughters birthday, i sent that 1st class on Monday and it hasn't been received.This has happened before.
I also sent another parcel, another item i sold on ebay the same time as sending the other one, but i haven't heard from the buyer on that one so i don't know whether she has got it or not.
This is a nightmare, what happens in cases like this on ebay, will i have to refund the buyer? I'm seriously out of pocket thanks to bloody royal mail. I can't tell you how gutted i am that my friends daughter hasn't received her birthday money. I have to find it from somewhere and re-send, but i will do it recorded/special delivery and put a cheque in.[smilie=013.gif]
Never ever EVER send cash in the post. Its bound to go walkies.
You can ask you buyer to wait until 14 days has passed as RM doesn't consider an item lost until then. Then if still not received you can refund and claim back off RM.
If you're selling on Ebay then you HAVE to send with trackable proof of posting like recorded or Special Delivery if the value is over £34. It's the only way that Ebay will side with you and it's the only way to cover yourself. If you don't send it by a means that needs a signature, then sadly there are people who will lie and say they've not received it. They'll then end up with the goods and the refunded money.
Sorry, I should have made that clearer. If an item is worth anything up to £34 it must be sent by Recorded Delivery. If it's over £34 then Special Delivery.
Just make sure you charge accordingly for postage but it protects you and it protects the buyer.

A&E's new original docudrama Breaking Boston features a group of working class women coming of age with the odds stacked against them.
The series follows a group of four blue-collar women in their twenties trying to break the cycle of their peers in a town where education, employment and opportunities are hard to come by. Each one of them has already hit rock bottom via destructive relationships or bad choices, but they're all leaning on each other and looking for a way out.
Executive producer Mark Wahlberg mirrored this series on his own life and experiences in Boston. Recently earning his high school diploma at the age of 42, Mark can certainly relate to bad influences of peers and lack of emphasis on education. "These are real women telling their original stories of trying to break out of what's expected of them," said Wahlberg. "The odds are difficult, but I believe they can make it."
Breaking Boston joins them at a critical time in their life; where they're trying to shed their pasts in order to pave way for their future. Kristina, 29, faced jail time when her ex-boyfriend was caught running a drug ring out of their shared home but was acquitted and is now trying to move on with her new boyfriend Mikey while pursuing a career in hair styling. Valerie, 22, had two DUIs and a jail sentence on her record after high school and is now trying to attend college with a tarnished record and no financial aid. Noelle, 25, recently suffered the loss of her brother to a tragic car accident and is finding it difficult to move on with her life while living at home and supporting her mother. Courtney, 25, is a single mom with a 7th grade education and a dream to get into beauty school.
Caitlin dropped out of high school in 10th grade but is in the process of trying to reverse that decision. After many years of dealing at illegal underground poker games, Caitlin earned such a good living that she didn't need a real job. But after a bust that has her facing federal gambling charges, she's facing trouble and her lawyer bills are piling up. She's working odd jobs here and there but misses the money she was making as a dealer. She knows it's time to start making something of herself but isn't sure where to start.
Caitlin and Courtney have recently decided to hire a tutor get their GEDs with each other's support while Caitlin also tries to figure out whether or not she has a future with, Jack, the man in her life.

Study Shows Natural Gas Fracking is More Harmful Than Coal
Posted By Lori Zimmer On April 11, 2011 @ 4:01 pm In clean tech,Environment,environmental destruction,Innovation | 2 Comments
Natural gas may be a marginally cleaner fossil fuel than coal, but obtaining it through the processing of fracking turns out to be more damaging to the climate than coal [2] ever was. Fracking is a process that splits deposits of natural gas deep underground, using high pressure chemicals. A new study at Cornell has revealed that the process releases large quantities of methane [3], and other harmful gases, yielding 20% more global warming per unit then coal.
[4] photo © Marcellus Protest [5]
The process, also called hydraulic fracturing, creates open fissures in shale so that natural gas flows freely and can be obtained from a well. Fracking also imposes dangers to drinking water, as the chemicals used in the process can leak into groundwater and drinking water reservoirs. Fracking wells are generally drilled about 8,000 feet deep, and water reservoirs are usually located at around 1,000 feet — as natural gas escapes upward, it infiltrates the water.
Although natural gas burns cleaner than coal and has reduced greenhouse gas emissions, the fracking process can negate these benefits. The study shows that the greenhouse gas [6]
footprint of fracking shale gas causes the direct emission of harmful carbon dioxide and methane. Methane is over 20 times more [7] effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than CO2, so it stands to greatly increase the pace of global warming, even over a short period of time.
This study is further proof that we need to move away from fossil fuels and into alternative energy sources altogether. Natural gas has many green benefits over coal, such as less air pollution and cost, but the fracking method just makes it as bad as dirty coal – what the frack?

LAS VEGAS — Retailers who heave a sigh of relief after a product recall ends may be celebrating prematurely, a food safety researcher told a workshop audience here yesterday. "In the short term, although major food safety incidents have a significant impact on consumer behavior, sales of the product typically rebound to normal levels in four to six weeks," Dennis Degeneffe, a research fellow at the Food Industry Center at the University of Minnesota, said. "But there appears to be long-term ...

Japanese beer for kids
I had to read this guest post from Owl Meat Gravy twice, I was so shocked this even exists:
Kidsbeer! Kidsbeer! Kidsbeer!
The Tomomasu company of Japan once made a non-alcoholic drink for kids chock full of the guarana (twice the caffeine of coffee), with enough kick to have the little ones running up the walls.
It didn't sell very well, so they put it in a brown bottle and changed the name to Kidsbeer.
Whoosh ... turning your kid into a kinder-meth-head is much more attractive when it seems like you're getting them drunk. All the chore-doing benefits of kiddie Red Bull combined with the gateway drug priming for later alcoholism.
Kidsbeer! And I thought Shirley Temples were weird. Why not rename this an Amy Winehouse?
Note: The photo above is from the company's actual ads ...
Before rebranding they decreased the sweetness and increased its frothiness.
Mmm... frothy.
Satoshi Tomoda, company president said, "Children copy and mimic adults. If you get this drink ready on such occasions as events and celebrations attended by kids, it would make the occasions even more entertaining." I'll bet.
"Even kids cannot stand life unless they have a drink," is Kidsbeer's slogan.
Hang on kids, maybe it will come to the U.S, soon. Now if only we could get candy cigarettes back, because nothing goes with a Kidsbeer like a kid's Camel filterless.

Comments On Jun 30, 2015:Boots look good and are comfortable. But i have about 5 hours on them and already have a hole worn completely through the sole in the right boot.

Comments On May 05, 2015:Bought my son a pair of Fox comp 8 boots. He says they are the most comfortable pair of boots he has worn. Tried his boots on even though they were a little short for me. So I bought me a pair and can wear them all day and be comfortable. We made a good choice picking out the comp-8. Rocky Moutain even shipped mine before our trip to Durhamtown.

Comments On Sep 05, 2014:After finally wearing through the sole on my old Comp 5's after 3 years I decided to upgrade to these new Comp 8's. I wore a size 9 in the old boots so I went with another 9 and they are a bit bigger, I would say these are more true to size then older Fox boots. They took about 5 hours to get broken in nicely. The buckle system is nice, they seem to stay latched well. The soles are very grippy, I also like the rubber on the inside surface to grip the bike with. Overall I am happy with them after 5 hours of ride time.

During the period covered by this report, Christians, both of mainstream denominations and evangelical groups, sometimes encountered harassment and physical attacks on property and places of worship by some local Buddhists who were opposed to conversion and believed they were threatened by these groups. Some Christian groups occasionally complained that the Government tacitly condoned harassment and violence aimed at them. Police generally provided protection for these groups at their request. In some cases police response was inadequate, and local police officials reportedly were reluctant to take legal action against individuals involved in the attacks. The National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka reported numerous attacks on Christian churches, organizations, religious leaders, or congregants, many of which were reported to the police. Credible sources confirmed some of these attacks.In June 2008 anti-Christian banners were mounted in Middeniya, Hambantota District, and the local Buddhist temple initiated a petition against the local Assembly of God church. On June 17, the Middeniya Maha Vidyalaya schoolheld a meeting for students and teachers to express opposition to Christianity and advertise an anti-Christian rally. The school's principal warned students, most of whom were Buddhists, not to attend church. After the speeches a Christian girl was attacked for attending church. On June 22, an estimated 5,000 lay persons and Buddhist monks participated in an anti-Christian rally where a cross and picture of the Virgin Mary were burned.
On June 24, 2008, three men attacked and warned a Christian pastor, Reverend Fernando, not to return to his village in Ampara, Eastern Province. The pastor was attacked while returning home from a church group meeting in Uhana.In March 2008 an armed Wennappuwa Provincial Council member assaulted a security guard at the Pentecostal Believer's Church Bible College in Lunuwila, Puttalam District. Following the attack, he threatened to return and rape the female students at the college. A hearing regarding an attack 2 weeks earlier on students of the Bible College, scheduled for the same day, was postponed after the same Council member led a protest with villagers and some Buddhist monks accusing the school of harboring LTTE members. Earlier in March, masked men attacked students of the Bible College. Nine students were injured. Following the attack, the same Council member came to the gate of the Bible College and threatened that he would not allow it to continue operating for more than a week. The Bible College is in a predominantly Catholic area.

MSP tour numbers exceed expectations
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
The old Missouri State Penitentiary has attracted more visitors than predicted in 2012 with more than 19,000 people exploring the site in the past season.
According to a release from the Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), tours in 2012 attracted 19,121 visitors, nearly 2,000 more visitors than 2011. The prison also saw its cumulative attendance pass the 50,000 mark.
Tour attendance has increased each year since the CVB began doing tours in 2009. In 2011, about 17,000 visitors came through the prison.

O scale train sets had their greatest popularity when model trains were considered strictly toys, their big build and sturdy construction made them perfect for children. Today they still are a great choice for younger hobbyists. Vintage O trains remain very collectible, and the size has been continuously popular among fine-scale modelers in the UK. O scale trains declined in popularity in the US after World War II as manufacturers introduced smaller sizes with finer detail, but since the 1990s O train producers have been paying more attention to detailing and appearance. For this reason, O gauge trains have seen a major comeback in popularity which continues to this day, and a number of extremely realistic, exciting reproductions are now available in O gauge from a variety of manufacturers.
There are many styles and brands to choose from, including MTH O RailKing,Lionel, K-Line and Atlas, and our low prices are both competitive and reasonable. Check out our selection of O scale trains and place your order today!

Do diapers expire or "go bad"?
My husband and I are having a disagreement as to whether or not diapers have an expiration date. I say yes and he says no. Needless to say I don't want to put old diapers on my newborn if there's going to be any risk.

No, they don't. But they are disgusting - they're made of paper (bleached, with dioxin - extremely toxic, look it up if you're curious - as a byproduct) and plastic (don't tell me you haven't been hearing all the nasty stuff about plastic... now try and justify why we're covering infant's genitals with it) and a superabsorbent gel (which can cause serious health issues if it's accidentally eaten or inhaled by children or pets - happens easily, since disposable diapers are so fragile). They will also take several hundred to several thousand years to decompose in a landfill, and your baby will go through around 9000 diapers before potty training! That's a lot of poop and plastic. If you're interested in something less gross, come check out the cloth diapering board here on babycenter. Cloth is cute, cheap (saves us about $2000! and more for every baby in the future who's in cloth, since they can be used on multiple children!), and far easier to use than you might think. :]posted 05/05/2012 by Titanius Englesmith

Staff from other departments would walk by and ask if we needed anything and they always asked us how we were doing. The last few hours of my brother's were met with comfort and care, and that is all I could ask for. Ken & Michelle Leggitt, Auburn

Dusty Dreams
I know, I know…the chalkboard wall trend has seen its day, come back again and has seen its day again and yet is still 'up there' in ranking of 'cool-things-to-do-in-your-house-to-make-your-neighbors-think-you're-the-saaviest-decorator-ever'. Seriously…I equate painting a wall in your home with chalkboard paint as the equivalent of having a photo booth at your wedding: anyone who knows the industry knows that it is 'sooooo 2006', but 99% of your guests don't know the industry so who cares, right?
And yet, I can not seem to get the idea of installing a chalkboard wall somewhere in my home out of my head. The one, and I mean ONE, thing that is keeping me from heading out right this second and heading to my nearest paint store and scoring some paint is a major concern that has been chipping away at my resolve daily. Specifically…what do you do with all of that chalk dust?
I can handle the fact that I will never have my chalkboard wall styled with a perfect combination of grace and laid-back attitude. I can handle the fact that the paint is black and apparently not the easiest to go up. I can handle the fact that it won't always erase cleanly and there will be remnants of whatever we write or draw on the wall forever…but I just can't wrap my mind around where all that dust goes.
So, until I figure out the great mystery, I will just have to continue to live vicariously through the beautiful inspiration photos one can find around every corner of the internet. Like the amazing calendar wall (above) Laura Frantz has in her home, or the beautiful play room walls (below) found over at Rundle St Farmer's and Southern Exposure, respectively.
Even better, is this beautiful slate wall installation in a penthouse in Andorra (found over at Arch Daily; photographs by Eugeni Pons).
Who needs to mess around with chalkboard paint when you have gorgeous slate walls as a base?
So, dear readers, have any of you plunged into the chalkboard wall pool? And if so, can you quell my dust fears?

CFP: Transitional Nabokov (UK) (3/8/07; 7/6/07-7/7/07)
full name / name of organization:
Will Norman
contact email:
Call for Papers
Transitional Nabokov
Plenary Speakers:
"Across the dark sky of exile, Sirin passed . . . like a meteor, and disappeared, leaving nothing much else behind him than a vague sense of uneasiness." (Vladimir Nabokov, Speak, Memory).
As numerous critical attempts have been made to locate Nabokov and his works within particular aesthetic, cultural and historical formations, or to propose definitive interpretative readings of his works, we propose a conference dedicated to exploring the critical possibilities offered by approaching Nabokov through the notion of transition. We wish then to bring the "American" and "Russian" Nabokovs into conversation, considering ways in which the writer's works shuttle between cultural and aesthetic positions. This is an opportunity to address questions relating to temporal and historical change, as well as fluidity, ambivalence and undecidability in Nabokov's work. Despite the writer's own professed affinity to various absolutes (his "strong opinions"), there are many opportunities for reading Nabokov as operating between categories of various kinds, and engaging with various forms of transition.
Paper proposals are invited which engage with notions of transition within Nabokov's work and within Nabokov studies as a whole. Among possible topics, participants may wish to consider the following:
-- transitions occurring across languages, cultures, and continents
We welcome proposals from all academics with an interest in Nabokov, whether from English, Russian, American, French or comparative literature departments. Doctoral students as well as more established academics are warmly invited to submit proposals. The conference will be an international event, and, in keeping with its aims, wishes to include scholars from numerous geographical and critical locations.
Registration is free, and will include a conference dinner for all speakers. There will be paying accommodation available in St Anthony's College, Oxford. Please direct any enquiries to the organizers, Duncan White and Will Norman, at nabokov_at_rai.ox.ac.uk.
Please send abstracts of approximately 200 words, and a brief biog / CV to us by email to nabokov_at_rai.ox.ac.uk. The deadline for submissions is 8 March 2007.

I admire people who challenge convention. As you know, the bride traditionally takes the groom's name, and so it is her credit report that is usually the one that is affected. But, the process for updating your report is the same and you don't need to send any forms.
A new credit report is not created using your new name. Instead, your new name will be added to your existing credit report. The process is essentially automatic.
You simply notify your existing creditors of the name change. They will update their records and report the new information to Experian, resulting in your new name becoming part of your credit report.
Another way your name is updated is when you open new credit accounts. The lender will report the account to Experian and your credit report will then be updated to include your new name.
Your previous name will continue to appear in your identification section as long as it is associated with previously held accounts. That is important to ensure that your credit history is complete and accurate.
Congratulations and thanks for asking.
- The "Ask Experian" team

Persuasion vs. Coercion at the Holiday Table
Pro tips on communication strategies from Frank and Robert Oppenheimer.
Ah, the holidays: Harder to swallow even than a regifted fruitcake is the stubborn inability of our loved ones to see our (obviously correct) points of view on almost everything. Vegans dine with hard-core carnivores; drinkers and smokers sit across the table from abstainers; NRA members trade niceties with advocates of gun control; lovers of shiny new toys trade gifts with serious recyclers; Obama voters gloat (or try to hold their tongues) among the Romneyites.
You'd think it would be a great time to try to convince one another of the merits of our different points of view. But what we think is persuasion is more often just poorly disguised coercion.
And the difference is crucial: Persuasion requires understanding. Coercion requires only power. We usually equate coercion with obvious force, but sometimes it's far more subtle. If you want people to stop smoking, for example, you don't need to make it illegal; you can simply make smoking expensive (raise taxes) or offer bribes (lower health insurance premiums). Both are still coercive in that the power to give or take away resides entirely in the hands of the "coercer."
Persuasion is fundamentally different because it relies on understanding what smoking does to the human body. Someone who's persuaded of its dangers has an incentive to stop that's entirely independent of anyone else's actions.
So if your sister gets you to spend more than you'd like on gifts by making you feel cheap or guilty if you don't, that's a form of coercion. It goes both ways, of course. Get her to spend less by making her feel materialistic (or conversely reward her with affection for donating to the food bank), and you haven't convinced her of anything. You've only gotten your way—for now.
It's a distinction I think about often in teaching. If I get students do things a certain way for fear of getting an F or hopes of getting an A, it means I've influenced their behavior for the duration of the class. If I've managed to persuade them that my method has merit, I've likely made converts for life.
I first heard about this distinction from a fellow who spent most of his life trying to show that coercion was a lousy way to stop anyone from doing anything. He was the physicist Frank Oppenheimer, and he had quite a falling out with his famous older brother, Robert, over this very issue. Robert, of course, was the father of the atomic bomb. Frank helped, too; he was a key player in creating enough enriched uranium to build the Hiroshima bomb and deputy safety inspector at the Trinity site where the first bomb exploded. The brothers witnessed the test together, face down in the dirt for the initial explosion, then watching the unearthly bright purple cloud that hovered long after the blast, listening to the echoing thunder.
Robert was a national hero, an intimate of generals and Cabinet members. After the war, he used the pulpit of physics and his considerable charm and intelligence to try to stop nuclear proliferation in its infancy. One could say the testimony to his failure is the thousands of nuclear weapons around the world today on hair-trigger alert, each vastly more powerful than the bombs that leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Many good people, many of them co-creators of the bomb, devoted substantial parts of their lives to tame the threat. They mostly failed.
It's impossible to say whether another approach would have worked, but Frank thought his brother's efforts fell short at least in part because they stayed within a circle of people much like himself: clever, well-educated, technically proficient. The general public, it went almost without saying, had neither the smarts nor the knowledge to engage in the issue. Robert's attitude, Frank thought, boiled down essentially to saying: We physicists have the knowledge and the power. We'll take care of things for you.
Frank didn't buy that a bit. You didn't need to be a physicist to understand the basics. "The ability to solve a differential equation was only an infinitesimal advance over the ability to read and write," he argued. But "no one was explaining anything," he complained.
Except for people like Frank, who were talking to everyone they could, trying to persuade them that nuclear weapons required a new kind of thinking. The weapons were not just ordinary bombs made bigger; they were something new under the sun, 1,000 times more powerful than ordinary bombs. He compared the difference to inviting four people to dinner at your house and getting 4,000. Or reducing your salary from $20,000 a year to $20.
The brothers couldn't have disagreed more on how to approach the problem. The most haunting lines I unearthed while writing a biography of Frank appear in a letter to his best friend and Los Alamos colleague, physicist Robert Wilson. "I saw my bro in Chicago," Frank wrote. "In brotherly love, I told him I was still confident that some day he would do something that I was proud of …"
While Robert (perhaps understandably) brushed off his little brother, Frank was deadly serious. The only way to stop nuclear insanity was to convince people it was insanity; to make them understand why it was insanity. The real danger of coercion, Frank thought, is it doesn't value understanding.
It may be difficult to see that simply dismissing groups of people as not worth taking seriously is a form of coercion. It's intellectual overpowering: "Trust us; you wouldn't understand anyway." Whatever we call it, the chance for persuasion is lost.

Centerpiece Fish Or Pair
I want a colourful pair of fish or even maybe just one really really nice one for my 10 gal aquarium. It is kept at 77 degrees. Sand bottom. PH of 7-7.1, Planted and yeah. All the parameters are good. The inhabitants are 5 peppered cories, that spend most of their time wandering around the bottom, on some plants leaves and stuff. Is there any fish or a pair is what I really want that swim in the top and middle of the tank. They need to be bright, something really beautiful to steal the show! I am just wondering because my last resort would be some tetras as a dither fish.
Edit: Sorry, I posted in wrong section :X
Ever thought about a smaller gourami? Like a Dwarf Gourami? Though, in a 10 gallon, may be better just keeping one. I always like gouramis, especially the smaller ones such as powder blue, or dwarfs.

This was an email I sent to a friend, at his behest, I'm am posting somewhere more public as I do not, and will not ever succumb to facialbook.
Again, this was an email to a friend, if I offended anyone...TOO BAD! (occasional wording has been changed to keep identities a secret and to pass the sensor nazis)
Please hold your applause until the end!
Thank you. I know you all have been eagerly awaiting the first edition of Dragon's Fantastical Football Phicks. Now, some may ask..."Dragon, why start in Week 3 after the Thursday game? Well, to those people I cheerily say: "Fk off!"
Now, on to the picks:
NE v TB - On the surface, this appears to be New England versus TOM BRADY! After the initial shock and settling down...and trying to discern these two teams from each other given all the player movement the past year...it seems clear that NE, with all their injuries, should have no real problem defeating a team with a very disappointing QB (mostly disappointing in his lack of consistency). Doug Martin just ain't enough on his own...look for Chandler Jones to build on a strong Week 2 with 10 days to get ready...
AZ v NO - Seems like NO should just roll through this one...well, true to their initials...NO! N'awlins just isn't as good as they like to think they are. Not a bad team by any stretch, but that team has been neutered and still feels like they were wronged. Complaining about illegal hits after week 2? Oh, the irony. Stay classy NO! And after all that reasoning....NO in a close one.
GB v CIN - This could, in all honesty, be the best game of the day. Cincy really, REALLY wants to be a grown-up team. And they've actually been headed in the right direction. And it's week 3, which means it's early enough in the season, before muscle-memory takes over and Cincy turns into a bunch of r e t a r d e d thugs. GB, though, is still GB and one of the better teams in the NFC. They've put up 66 points in 2 games, and I just don't see Cincy, and their 41, keeping up all game.
StL v DAL - Week 3? Dallas all the way. StL will be good, just not yet. If this was the playoffs or a meanigful late-season game with playoff ramifications, I could count on Romo to crumble like a jetliner impacted skyscraper (read disclaimer above)...but, again, it's week 3. He'll probably throw for 400 yards.
CLE v MIN - Who cares? MIN.
SD v TEN - Jake Locker isn't as good as hoped. Philip Rivers never was. LT, even post-career, is still a whiny, over-rated clown, I expect him to wear sunglasses on the set so he can hide just like he did behind his visor in playoff games in NE. Maybe one day, far removed from both he and Rivers, I can actually take them seriously again...until then, TEN.
DET v Wash - This game excites me! It excites me in a way I'll never admit to my girlfriend, and should probably seek professional help for! RGknee is a curiosity. His mechanics are a mess, but he seems to be getting better. Detroit should consistently be better than they are, I think they're fighting against a history of losing which causes Stafford to, at times, channel his inner Scott Mitchell (meaning, randomly throws left-handed...obviously). As a side note...would people leave Suh alone! The dudes an amazing player. I'd happily take him on NE. Detroit wins this points-fest.
NYG v CAR - Ok....so you don't know my complete dislike of one SCam Newton. Horrible attitude. Entitled. Decent throwing QB. Good runner. NOT a team leader. Not even a grownup. Then there's the NYG....do I need to go into details of my disdain for them? Oh, add to it that today I get only NYG on TV because, somehow CONNECTICUT, which, last time I checked, is part of FKING NEW ENGLAND is considered in the NYG viewing area! Fk Fox, Fk the NYG. CAR all day.
HOU v Balt - A good matchup of second tier teams. Did I just call the defending super bowl champ 2nd tier? Damn right I did. They lost Ed Reed, Ray Lewis and Boldin, leaving Joe Flacco as the most senior leader of that team. GOOD LUCK! Houston just can't get over that 2nd tier hump, though they've had the talent for a few seasons. My coin tells me heads, which must mean Houston, because Baltimore can kiss my tail!
ATL v MIA - Atlanta. I don't even have anything witty of funny to say. ATL is the better, more complete, better coached, more talent. Which means MIA will somehow blow them out, but I still pick ATL!
NYJ v BUF - What a bottom-feeding, rookie QB matchup this is! Geno Smith seems to be incredibly turnover-prone, where-as EJ Manuel seems to be much safer with the pigskin. I think this game comes down to a late mistake by the Jets rookie, which gives the Bills rookie the win. Yes, it all comes down to the 2 rookie QBs in a team game with 53 man rosters. Totally logical on my part.
Indy v SF - I'm going Indy on this one. Richardson will show that potential everyone knows he has, but few got to see against 8 man boxes and 0 help in CLE. Nobody knows how Indy will deploy him yet, and Luck has already proven he's a legitimate NFL QB (I swear, there's no racial undertones here....really....just coincidence) with a true WR threat in Hilton. I think SF runs into a buzzsaw today, and come Monday people will be sporting raging boners over Indy like they were after PHI in week 1.
JAX v SEA - Jacksonville has no hope. They'll probably fall into a win or two at some point this season...but not this week. Seattle's defense should do whatever they want against JAX. Sea in a blowout.
CHI v PIT - Are there 2 more unlikeable teams currently in football? I don't think so. But football isn't about people liking you, it's about harrassing cheerleaders and doing roids before running headfirst into another person! forte is the difference here, and Chicago wins by ten or so.
OAK v DEN - I'd like to take a moment to express my displeasure ove rthe canning of one Hank WIlliams Jr. I AM ready for some football! Oakland isn't anything good. Welker's Broncos are. Divisional games are always surprising, and this won't disappoint. Den scores late to s n a t c h the victory. Tune in next week for Week 2 (which is actually Week 4) 's picks!

Happy Birthday to me. My wife is breaking my shoes and my daughter is being a teenage pain in the posterior and my mother in law does not like me. Hell, my wife had the dog emasculated so I am all alone in this house of pain. What joy and lovliness fill my days!
HAPPY frigging birthday to me. They left the gifts in the living room and walked out. Yup, just lovely. Why? I went on a two hour bike ride between 6 and 8 and walked in at 9. Never mind that I do this ride every Thursday and sweetness knows this. The bike club members are nicer to me than my own dear family. Did I mention I spent the day at home with my family. Yes, I am living everyones vision of how joyous a birthday should be.
Yes HAPPY BIIRTHDAY to me. My lovely wife is a treasure who likes to spend money we don't have on a regular basis. Remind me again of just how fortunate I am to be married to such a lovely woman. Thank you my dear spouse for being a pluperfect **** and ruining what should be a fairly happy day in my mundane existance. Thank you teenage daughter for taking a cue from your mother and being a real **** as well. Mom in Law you are an altogether different species but at least you have never pretended to be nice to me.
So Happy Birthday to me as I now plan how to get my stuff out of here and leave my sweet wife. She will come home one day and I and my "stuff" will be gone. That I think will be my gift to me.
So happy frigging birthday to me! Happy birthday and best wishes that my ****ty mundane life does not get any worse!

Las Vegas man who tied up toddlers gets 2 years
Wednesday, May 25, 2011
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas man who bound and gagged his girlfriend's two toddlers and left them in a garage while he went to a bar to watch a televised basketball game with friends has been sentenced to two to six years in prison.
Clark County District Court Judge James Bixler said at Tuesday's sentencing that Jonathan Weaver's actions were "stupid," and said he couldn't imagine anything more frightening for the children.
"But for a neighbor who heard them crying in the garage, they could have easily have died in there," the judge said.
Neighbors summoned police and firefighters broke into an apartment complex garage to get to the boys, ages 1 and 2. Police said they were found tied to car seats, each with a piece of clothing in his mouth.
The toddlers' mother left the boys with the 22-year-old Weaver while she was at night school, Las Vegas police said.
Weaver apologized at the sentencing hearing and the Las Vegas Sun reported that deputy public defender Amy Porray called his remorse genuine. Both told the judge that Weaver wasn't trying to hurt the boys — they said he bound them so they wouldn't hurt themselves.
Weaver pleaded guilty in January to two counts of child abuse and the use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a crime. His plea avoided trial on six felony charges including attempted murder and kidnapping. He'll be eligible for parole next month because he's served nearly two years in the Clark County jail.
