|This page is or discusses a loony and/or nutty conspiracy theory of which Uncyclopedia vehemently denies knowledge and existence. The black helicopters are not ^on their way.
"Quite nice chaps really. Gave me some gin and tonic, read me some poetry. Oh, and I'm one too. But you knew that, didn't you?"
An alien is a form of extraterrestrial living organism. However, if the organism is not living the designation "dead alien" is used.
Since an alien is technically any form of extraterrestrial life, it could be anything between a bacterium and an outright insane sentient race encased in silly shells. Suggested locations include Krypton, the Betelgeuse system, moons of Jupiter and Saturn, Mars, the Moon, and right here among us.
Beliefs in off-Earth life
There are many who believe sentient beings exist outside of Earth. One such theory is that one such alien created the world in six days. This is often referred to as Christianity, and is a belief widely held among people, and has been accepted as being far more sensible than other beliefs in off-Earth life. To date this is the only branch of extraterrestrial life beliefs that has gained mainstream recognition as a credible thought.
Nevertheless, other less mainstream ideas, equally valid for some, continue to exist, languishing despite much media attention. For example, the award-winning documentaries Doctor Who, Men in Black, War of the Worlds, Independence Day and Plan 9 from Outer Space have all showcased aliens, but have been dismissed as mere fantasy, even as the Titanic nearly crashed into Buckingham Palace and all of Earth's major cities were almost destroyed by scavenger aliens. Every Christmas in London, they were right here among us.
The search
Scientists have been searching for evidence of extraterrestrial life outside of television, with little success. But humankind's destiny is to find, communicate and befriend alien life, for science fiction has decreed it as such. So researchers have pushed on with the search for intelligent life in outer space.
The Search for Extra-Terrifying Intelligence, or SETI, was founded in the 1960's, due to concerns that evil monoliths might be trying to abduct our brave astronauts. SETI projects use scientific methods to find extra-terrestrial life, although since they have not found evidence suggesting such life, they are doing so incorrectly.
The US government funded SETI projects up to 1994, when they realised that an agency that put out a report every year about a profound lack of success would have done just as well, as long as they also put out records of the obligatory "Wow!" signal every few decades or so. Of course, this would not change the fact that they are still doing it wrong. A fundamental flaw of SETI is that its scientists are focusing on outer space for a source of intelligent life. This is the wrong place to look for aliens, because they are RIGHT HERE AMONG US.
There have been also efforts to actively send messages out to extra-terrestrial life, because we all know that that's a far more sensible idea. Here is the content of one such recent message:
No reply has been received as of this date.
Drake equation
In 1961, an astronomer at UC Santa Cruz, Dr Frank Drake, devised an equation to estimate the number of planets "out there" with intelligent alien life that could communicate with us, thus forever ruining his good name. The equation multiplied together seven factors.[1]
Naturally, the number of civilisations according to this formula tends to be very high, since the end product of the Drake equation is inversely proportional to the level of intelligence of humans calculating that end result. This, however, is only one prominent criticism of the Drake equation.
Other criticisms exist regarding the nature of the variables used in the equation. Whether a civilization could have just 1 scary monolith or 1 quadrillion of them, and whether the average person could believe in 100% or 0% of the nonsense he is subjected to, can be quite arbitrary.
Some critics also think that certain additional parameters must be taken into account. For example, the fraction of civilizations that could get ahold of an episode of America's Funniest Home Videos and be disgusted enough to commit self-genocide could be a critical factor, and yet is not accounted for in this equation. These critics are, of course, trying to influence results to make contact seem less and less possible, because they are themselves aliens, living right here among us.
and their propaganda in popular culture
Blatantly obvious works of popular culture involving aliens include the Alien saga; E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial and its TV movie sequel, The E.T. Holiday Special; Men In Black and Men In Black 2; The Doctor in Doctor Who; The Teletubbies; Invader Zim; and The X-Files. These, however are not the only parts of Earth culture aliens are involved in, because, notably, aliens are right here among us.
Space Invaders, for example, was programmed as a reply to the highly pixelated Arecibo message. A particularly innovative interactive propaganda piece from the Martian Ministry of Warfare, the "game" successfully conveyed the message that Martians could never be defeated by any weapon whatsoever. However, the game failed to defeat the commonly held—and very correct—Victorian-era conception that Martians could be easily defeated if somebody happened to sneeze.
The Day the Earth Stood Still is another example of covert alien operations on Earth. A little-known fact is that "Klaatu barada nikto" is the key to a mind control network that will allow Klaatu to take over the world, kill everyone off and start anew. The idea was that, if humans fell prey to such inane, idiotic bits of popular culture, became obsessed with them and started quoting them once every thirty minutes, humankind is hopeless after all.
The fact that 2001: A Space Odyssey is the first Earth film made by aliens is trivial. To quote famed film critic Russell Casse,
|Let's face it. The reason that this movie is so utterly nutterly incomprehensible is that it's unearthly -- literally. Why do you think there are these sequences of absolutely no dialogue whatsoever? BECAUSE THE ALIENS DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE DIALOGUE. Only part of Kubrick's original vision remains, and those parts have dialogue. The other parts don't. How am I so sure? Because I am. Now someone get me some coffee.
Certain aspects of popular culture have been suspected to be alien conspiracies, but do not explicitly feature aliens. For example, all of High School Musical was designed specifically to soften human brains and make devouring them easier. The animated magical world of Walt Disney is also not safe; Mickey Mouse was one of the earliest aliens of the 20th century, although not fitting into the archetype of greenness. Likewise, Super Mario Bros. was designed to trick humankind into eating only mushrooms, by planting delusions that mushrooms will make us magically impervious to death and/or make us giants. However, all mushrooms are, of course, either poisonous or hallucination-inducing, and humankind would be left defenceless to the aliens right here, among us.
A think tank has also advised that easily influenced students not play Dungeons and Dragons, stating that it may be part of an alien conspiracy as well. Dungeons and Dragons occupied the valuable time of some of the brightest would-be scientists of several past generations, who would otherwise have grown up to protect the world from aliens. However, most people believe that the clinching piece of evidence for hostile extraterrestrials right here, among us, is the movie Gigli.

WAC Coaches' Poll
WAC Media Poll
WAC Preseason Player Honors
The conference loses Boise State to the Mountain West this year and then sees Fresno State, Nevada and Hawaii join the Broncos in the Mountain West next season. The WAC will add current FCS teams Texas State and Texas-San Antonio in 2012.
Nevada, Boise State and Hawaii all shared the conference title last season with 7-1 records. Nevada scored a late-season upset of the Broncos and the Warriors upset the Wolf Pack in midseason.
Two of Boise State's main WAC rivals, Fresno State and Nevada, keep the Broncos on their respective schedules for 2011.
Boise State was 40-0 in home conference games during its 10-year stay in the WAC, so its departure clearly opens the door for a different team to rise to the top.
The Congrove Computer Rankings project Nevada to be that team, even without QB Colin Kaepernick and RB Vai Taua. However, the biggest surprise may be the computer's forecasted second-place team, Idaho. The Vandals are projected to go 8-4 overall, 6-1 in league play, and emerge from a pack of five teams (the others are Hawaii, Fresno State, Utah State and Louisiana Tech) that are no more than 3.34 power points apart to begin the 2011 campaign. The Vandals' bubble doesn't burst until they visit Nevada as a 14.46-point underdog for the season finale.
Nevada is projected to go unbeaten in WAC play (7-0), but just 3-2 out-of-conference. A 1-3 start may get some folks in Reno nervous as the Wolf Pack hit the road for their first four games, three of which come against Oregon, Texas Tech at Boise State. The Ducks and Broncos are ranked 3rd and 5th, respectively, in the AP poll; 3rd and 7th in the coaches' poll; and 8th and 3rd in the CCR Top 120. The forecasted loss at the Red Raiders is by just 4.15 points. The nonconference wins come at home against Mountain West members New Mexico and UNLV.
The seven other WAC teams lag at least 11.46 power points behind Nevada.
Hawaii and Fresno State are projected to fight for 3rd with the Warriors coming out on top of a head-to-head battle with the Bulldogs to break a tie in the standings.
A tight battle for 5th also looms between Louisiana Tech and Utah State. Here, the computer offers another surprise by taking the Aggies over the Ruston Bulldogs. The 6-6 forecast for Utah State represents its best finish since 1997 when the Aggies similarly went 6-6, including a loss to Cincinnati in the Humanitarian Bowl.
As has been the case for the last two seasons, San Jose State and New Mexico State are expected to bring up the rear of a league that has three schools preseason ranked 88th or worse. NMSU is projected to bring home a 3rd consecutive 2-win season, but each of its first six games have preseason computer spreads of less than 6 points.
As a whole, the WAC is predicted to win just 11 of 38 matches against nonconference FBS foes.
Last season's computer forecast came within 1 loss of 5 WAC teams and nailed New Mexico State's 2-10 overall mark and 1-7 league record.
The conference has seen only five head coaching changes in the last four seasons and none this year. There were new hires at Louisiana Tech and San Jose State a year ago; New Mexico State and Utah State made switches prior to the '09 season; and only Hawaii entered the '08 season with a new sheriff in town.

So we've done some hip abductor strengthening that, maybe ideally, involves standing and balancing — but can also involve swaying, toppling over, and/or hopping around. In case there are others like me who avoid standing balances like the plague, seated wide angle pose can be a seated strengthening option.
It's probably worth pointing out that even though this is seated, it's still a strong, active, engaged pose when it comes to my hips and legs. In fact, my quads especially may be working harder here than they are in, say, a high lunge or a warrior pose. This is more true for me the farther forward I fold, but it's always true to some extent.
Anyway, whee. Straddles. So basically, the abductors are working because they're pulling each leg away from the body's midline. I suppose, technically, the farther they're abducting, the harder they're working, but there's a limit — called the hip socket and the femur head, and when the one meets hits up against the other, it's pretty much game over as far as abduction is concerned.
[Jess Ryan instructing for Jess Ryan Yoga. Video via YouTube.]
Alignment ideas and practice points I like to keep in mind:
- Keep my low back happy. — For me, this means assisting the natural curve in my spine, definitely by pulling the flesh of my glutes away from my sitting bones, possibly sitting on a folded blanket if one happens to be convenient. For some other people, elevating the hips might be a non-issue; for others, it might be non-negotiable.
- Keep my knees happy. — I do pretty well with keeping my kneecaps pointing up, my toes pointing up, and the entire top of my leg — toes to quads — flexed and engaged. I've also heard teachers offer the option of bending the knees a little, possibly supporting them with blankets underneath.
- Not make it an open legs contest. — What I mean is, my legs go about as far as they go. There's a very comfortable angle distance, and then it's — thunk! — aforementioned femur heads hitting hip sockets. And there is some competitive part of me that wants my legs to go as wide as the other students' in class or the instructor in that video or whatever. Aside from the potential issue of pulling a groin muscle (which I'm not actually terribly worried about for my anatomy), there's the fact that bone against bone is just not going to give. It's not an open legs contest, and I should probably just get over myself already.
- Lower down slowly. — There's a lot of large muscle groups being stretched and contracted in this pose. For me, the big deal is actually my outer hips — the same ones we're focusing on strengthening here — though this can vary by person and by day. But for me, those muscles take a few breaths to acclimate in the various stages of my forward fold. If I folded forward too fast, I'd hurt myself. On the other hand, if I never went past my first edge, I wouldn't be getting my maximum benefit from the pose.
- Get up slowly. — Also using my arm strength. Because that shit can be intense.
Of course, the whole pose can be done in a standing straddle variety — but sometimes it is nice just to sit down, you know?

5 New Arrivals
Seasonal coffee season started this weekend! [According the the Dogs of Coffee calendar.] Here are the new offerings this week... First we have a favorite Kona from Moki's Farm - we will limit it to 2 lbs. per order since it is a small lot. This one is very versatile, with everything from City+ to Full City+ roast recommended, and try it as a SO espresso. Look for floral aromatics and dark chocolate --- this is a great arrival this season! Next we have some nice arrivals with the Costa Rica Cafetin San Martin and Colombia Tolima Florestales - Maximinio Gutierres. the Costa Rica San Martin is from the Tarrazu region and has been ranking well in the CoE. Look for sweet caramel and nutty roast flavors with an apple brightness on this limited lot. Some folks might remember the Colombia Maximinio Gutierrez from this past season. This is a sweet berry profile with cinnamon and apple accents; we have very little of this one and so are limiting sales to 1lb. Rounding out the new coffees is Kenya Kiambu Peaberry - Riuki, a citrusy coffee with lemon and mandarin orange in the cup. This Kenya can be very bright at light roasts and has a plum note at darker levels. And another great decaf! Sumatra Sidikaland WP Decaf is another coffee that we had custom decaffeinated - it is a great coffee in its own right and makes great decaf. Look for caramel sweetness, spice and hints of papaya and mango. Take some time to read Tom's full cupping reviews at the links above!

Miami is now only 1 win away to win the NBA championship. They were here last year, but that time things were different and now things are completely different. This year Miami is much focused and strong. Every player is putting 100% effort; their defence is as good as their offence. Not so big names (Chalmers) also tasted the fame for their play. Big 3 (James, Wade, Bosh) are leading the team from front. They are not leaving single stone unturned. They are rich in experience and they held on to their nerves till the end. On the other hand OKC is playing good but this young team is here for the first time and lack of experience is haunting them. Particularly in 4th game Westbrook was very hot. He scored 43 points. He was banging everything in the bucket. He was answering every big shot of Miami with his counter big shot. But his effort goes in vain. The way the OKC reserves have played the first 4 games of this series, chances are the Thunder will have the offseason thrust upon them a lot sooner than you think. Nobody mirrors the OKC reserves' struggles more than Harden, the reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year. Harden has had a rollercoaster series, scoring 5, 21, 9 and 8 points in 4 games. Had Harden alone done better than his '2-for-10' shooting in Game 3 and game 4, the series score could well have been reading 3-1 in favour of the Thunder. Equally, Collison and Fisher have done the disappearing act. Collison, who posted an impressive 8 points and 10 rebounds in OKC's Game 1 win over the Thunder, has since registered only 2 points and 5 rebounds in the game 2 and game 3 and 4 rebounds and 6 points in game 4. Fisher, similarly, who was 3-for-5 in Game 1, has gone 1-for-5, 3-for-8 and 0-for-1 in Games 2, 3 and 4 respectively. In the previous playoff games OKC bench averaged 33 points in the Mavericks series, 30.6 in the Lakers series and 32.33 points in the San Antonio series. Contrastingly, Harden, Fisher, Cook and Collison have contributed only 62 points, at an average of 20.6 per game, in the NBA finals.
Hardly able to move, James returned from a left leg injury to make the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2:54 remaining and the Miami Heat held off Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 104-98 victory on Tuesday night and a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals. With James watching the final moments, Mario Chalmers finished off a stellar 25-point effort that matched Dwyane Wade. James had 26 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds, only missing a triple-double because he was on the bench at the end after hurting his leg with a fall to the court. LeBron James better get well fast. He's about to play for a championship. No team has blown a 3-1 lead in the finals. Westbrook scored 43 points for the Thunder, who wasted an early 17-point lead but were never out of the game because of their sensational point guard. Kevin Durant had 28 points but James Harden threw in another clunker, finishing with eight points on 2-of-10 shooting. Westbrook and Durant were the only Thunder players to score in the last 16:46. "Whatever it takes. No excuses," Wade said. "You don't want to leave this arena saying you missed opportunities." Chalmers sure didn't. The player who was struggling so badly that the Thunder put Durant on him in hopes of avoiding further foul trouble made 9 of 15 shots, scoring more points than he had in the previous three games. "Mario Chalmers is a winner," Wade added. "He's due for a big game and he came through for us."

Kinsella contra Dante: 'Who was ousted so hell could be installed?'
Jaya Savige
Taking Dante's cosmography as its point of departure, John Kinsella's Divine Comedy: Journeys Through a Regional Geography (2008) envisages Mount Purgatory as Walwalinj, or Mount Bakewell; his Paradiso and Inferno are the wheatbelt district of West Australia; his Florence, Perth, flush with mining money. Kinsella's Comedy comprises what he calls a 'distraction' on Dante's Commedia – less a translation or a version, than a 'rupture' that both inhabits and subverts its epic model. This paper examines Kinsella's rupturing of the structural logic of Dante's epic poem, and its implications for the discourse of nationhood that the epic mode legitimises. Transposing Dante's Commedia into an antipodean key, Kinsella foregrounds the primary discontents of the discourse of Australian nationhood: the dispossession of indigenous Australians and the ecological degradation instantiated by pastoralism. In doing so, it comprises a critical development in what Peter Minter has called Kinsella's 'immanently political' poetics.

A new study by David's Bridal suggests childhood dreams evolve and revolve around changes that take place from childhood into adulthood.
Childhood Dreams Aren't Forever: Women's style changes over time and tastes change. For nearly half of brides (47%), their wedding dress is nothing like what they pictured when they were young.
The should and should not of wedding planning. A survey by David's Bridal says almost half of bridal dress purchases differ from childhood tastes. Where do you fit in?
The David's Bridal study agrees with findings from an ongoing eWedNewz study involving all areas of wedding planning, goods and services. At the center of nearly all discussions and interviews people do not want to be told what they "should" wear or what protocol to follow when planning their events. They want to know what the options are but they do not want to be bound by any foregone conclusions made by some author of a book.

Delay Ambient SOLO!
Mellow words cant speak of which
Tainted minds that cant resist
Uttered lies that creep within
To blind a truth we cannot live.
Drinking Chardonnay and wrote this little interlude/solo bit. hope ya diggs. http://soundcloud.com/adrian-orellana/breathez
If you like this bit, you can check out my soundcloud page over at http://soundcloud.com/adrian-orellana mind you I dont have the best recording rig by any means but Im working on getting my setup at home. I have an Asus X54C series and running a Presonus usb audiobox running through a line 6 spyder solid state combo. I use reaper right now because rent is high and I cant afford a good program atm. Figured Id save up for a line 6 HDPRO to run my tone for now.
If anyone knows where I could find a good drum software for download relatively similar to ezdrummer that would be of great help. Thanks
Hey Adrianore19
heh pretty cool solo ; ) together with the rhythm part it really gave it a warm tone, kind of reminded me of when the sun is coming down = ) love the delay . great job man,I can't wait until this is complete would love to hear the full thing = )
if you would
Too bassy, the clean rhythm should be a bit more mid focused. Sounds okay overall though, the progressions are very good.
sounds great

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Using this invite for a couple's shower , with one of the couple's engagement photos and some revision by the Wedding Paper Divas reviewer, ...she added the word "couple's" to the "Wedding Shower, and made a few additional tweaks as well,,,,perfect!

So, for the past several months I have fallen back into the unhealthy patterns I had long before and shortly after my dad died. I have forgotten how to say no. Yes I let my brother move in with me rent free, yes I'll spend my weekends helping mom prepare to move (which keeps getting postponed), yes I'll babysit, yes I'll cancel a movie date with a guy I have a crush on to support you, yes I'll allow you to claim my kitchen as an office of sorts so you can start a new business, yes I'll tell you I no longer need the car you let me borrow (after a job change & $15k a year pay cut & a roommate who bailed on the lease) so I could save some benjies and will now have to put out money I don't have for a car, yes I can dog sit for you, yes I'll stay late at work to help you, yes I'll let you stop by unannounced when I have plans, yes, I'll supervise court ordered supervised visits for your children, yes I'll keep allow you to not speak to me until you need something from me, yes, yes, yes, please take advantage of me, because I have allowed it for sooooooo long.
So, NO!. No, I will not put you before me. No, I will not bail on my workout plans for you, we can schedule around it. No, I will not cancel plans with Mr. Hot Stuff so you feel important, we can schedule around it. No, I will not allow you to take over my kitchen for any other purpose than cooking me a healthy dinner. No, I can't stay late tonight, I have a date with a barre and leotard as well as Mr. HS. No, our relationship will not be one sided, non-existence is more like it if there isn't a healthy give and take. AAAAAAnd lastly . . .
Yes, I will dog sit for you, because dogs are awesome.

As Christmas gets closer, I'm sure many of you will be hosting holiday parties at your house. One way to make your guests feel welcome is by setting up a hot-chocolate bar. You can keep this pretty simple by keeping a pan of boiling water on the stove, with packets of hot cocoa and a bowl of marshmallows near by. However, if you have a little more time you can dress it up a bit. Here are some ways to make your hot chocolate bar a little more fun.
How to create a hot-chocolate bar
Make these hot chocolate on a stick so your guests can easily stir them into hot water.
You could also make these hot cocoa kits and homemade hot chocolate and marshmallows.
Print out these cute and free printables to decorate the cups and have red striped straws.
Decorate with a simple banner and snowflakes to bring in the winter theme.
Fill some glass jars with marshmallows, chocolate chips and crushed peppermints. You can find these cute little wooden scoops on Amazon or use plastic spoons.
You could also make these hot chocolate cookies and hot cocoa chex mix for your guests to munch on.
Then make this yummy stove top potpourri or light candles before your guests arrive to make your house smell like Christmas.
Have you ever hosted a hot-chocolate bar? What other tips do you have?

Friends of La Grande Main Street's Liberty Theater Division had something to celebrate last week, as a mason known for his work on historical buildings did repairs on the walls and parapet of the historically significant theater building at 1010 Adams Avenue.
The theater division, an offshoot of the La Grande Main Street program, recently purchased the historic Liberty with the goal of renovating it and making it into a center for the performing arts. The mason, Budd Landon of Kuna, Idaho, headed a crew this month that did repairs people can see as they walk by.
Dale Mammen, the man leading the effort to restore the Liberty, said he is pleased with the attention Landon and his assistants showed to historical detail.
"Before he ever started, he made five trips to La Grande to examine the building. Getting the colors to match isn't easy, and he put a lot of effort into it," Mammen said.
The Liberty Theater opened as the Orpheum Theater in 1910, was renamed the Arcade in 1911 and became the Liberty in 1930. After the theater closed in 1959, the building was remodeled to accommodate retail businesses. The projection room, balcony, stage, some light fixtures and tiers for seats remain.
A couple of years ago, Mammen launched the the effort to bring the old show house back to life. His all-volunteer Liberty Theater Division, which bought the building with help from the City of La Grande's Urban Renewal Agency, plans to pay for full restoration through grants, donations and support from the city.
Late last year, the State Historic Preservation Office approved the group's grant application for $20,000 for brick and mortar work. Landon, who has worked on numerous historic buildings in the Pacific Northwest including the Pete French round barn near Burns in Harney County and the Morrow County Courthouse, was the first choice for the Liberty Theater.
Landon and a couple of helpers came to La Grande June 18 and worked through last Friday, armed with a brick-and-mortar restoration plan worked out by John Kvapil of DKA Architecture and Design. They repointed brick along the top and bottom of the building, removing old mortar and replacing it with new. They also patched rough spots and holes. Where brick needed to be replaced, they used bricks from a pile of originals found on the roof.
Landon's crew spent considerable time renovating the building's parapet. The work involved long hours of sanding, sealing and coating.
"With restoration work, we generally start at the top and work down," Landon said. "Most of the work here was on the parapet walls and the coping along the top. We covered that with a material that will preserve it for another hundred years."
Since taking over the theater building, Mammen's group has filled two retail spaces on the ground floor, and constructed and opened the Stage Door Theater, a 50-seat entertainment venue at the back of the building.
Mammen said the Liberty Theater Division is currently planning some Stage Door Theater events in conjunction with the upcoming Crazy Days celebration in downtown La Grande. Meanwhile, the fundraising efforts continue.
"We're in the process of developing local opportunities for financial support," Mammen said.
Landon began his masonry career in 1963 and started his own company in 1971. He retired in 2009 and today works only on preservation projects. He said he enjoys the pace of his life these days.
"Before I retired I built several schools and jails, and I decided to just slow down and do restoration work. This is more rewarding for me," he said.
He said technological advances in the construction industry have changed work methods and reduced the number of people who know brick and mortar work.
Historic preservation is a niche that needs filling.
"Masonry is getting to be a lost art. There's not too many young people taking it up," Landon said.

Destin, FL, January 22, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The U.S. economy is likely to improve in 2013, according to a new poll of consumers just completed by Money Journal.com, which surveys consumers on economic issues important to their well being and provides insight and advice on ways to save money.
The majority of those surveyed or 60% said the nation's economy will improve in 2013 over last year when the U.S. was in the throws of an economic downturn. There are growing signs the economy is on the mend, with better employment levels in many regions of the country. However, about three-quarters of the nation still feels their region is still in an economic recession.
The remaining 40% said they feel the U.S. economy will not improve during the year, despite efforts being made on a variety of fronts. The 2008 financial collapse, which started in the housing market and on Wall Street, with political battles in Congress seem to be too much to overcome in the five years since the nation's economic downfall.
Wall Street and Main Street are at complete opposites. The Dow Jones Industrial average is at a five year high, while much of the rest of the economy, especially affecting the middle class pains the nation.
Financial experts in business, including stocks, bonds, real estate and banking provide detailed reports on how consumers can better protect themselves in the world of finance and save money with insight and advice on Money Journal. There are lots of ways to save money on all sorts of products and services provided through the website on everything from a home mortgage to power bills to the price of a tank of gas.

Andy's Answers: 3 reasons to thank your social media fans
By Andy Sernovitz on May 23rd, 2013 | 423661 comment on this posthttp%3A%2F%2Fsmartblogs.com%2Fsocial-media%2F2013%2F05%2F23%2Fandys-answers-3-reasons-to-thank-your-social-media-fans%2FAndy%27s+Answers%3A+3+reasons+to+thank+your+social+media+fans2013-05-23+11%3A59%3A41Andy+Sernovitzhttp%3A%2F%2Fsmartblogs.com%2F%3Fp%3D42366
Showing your appreciation for your customers' support isn't just a nice thing to do — it's a word-of-mouth-marketing opportunity. It's amazing what a retweet, a Facebook share or a simple shout-out can do for your word-of-mouth when you say "thanks" to your social fans. Here are three reasons.
- Your fans will be surprised: Companies spend a lot of time worrying about negative word-of-mouth and what to do with it. But unfortunately, not many put that much effort into handling positive feedback. Show your customers some appreciation for their recommendations, and you'll surprise and delight them.
- A lot of people will see it: When your social media fans say something cool about your business, retweet them, share it and thank them. While you're showing everyone else you're responsive and you care, you're also calling more attention to your fan's positive review.
- You'll have another opportunity to connect: A great thank you is an opportunity to get your business back on your fans' minds and earn their word-of-mouth. And if you do it in a remarkable way, it will give them one more reason to say nice things about you.
Have you thanked your fans lately?

LG has offically announced the Optimus UI 3.0 for their Android 4.0 devices. The new UI bring some cool features like a swipe anywhere lock screen, customized skins, customizable individual icons, patter lock that lets you set certain lock screen patterns to open specific apps and Voice Shutter that will let you take pictures via voice commands. The new UI will launch with the LG Optimus LTE II and the Optimus 4X HD when they both launch.
If you check out our hands-on below you'll see that UI is defiantly improved of previous versions. Runs a lot smoother and less obtrusive. It's still hard to recognize Android 4.0 under all of that but I think users will be pleased with the experience.
New User Interface Makes the LG Smartphone Experience Faster, Simpler, More Convenient
SEOUL, May 16, 2012 – LG Electronics (LG) is introducing a new User Interface (UI) for its newest Android Ice Cream Sandwich devices, aptly named Optimus UI 3.0. Optimus UI 3.0 brings with it an array of enhanced key features, including Quick Memo™ and unique unlock functions, among other new features and functions aimed at improving LG smartphone experience.
"With smartphone hardware becoming more and more similar, it's important for manufacturers to differentiate their products from the competition through the user interface," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "Both carriers and customers tell us that they want LG phones to look and feel unique and the UI plays a big part in that. LG is really going to push the boundaries of what is possible in user interfaces starting with Optimus UI 3.0."
Optimus UI 3.0 is designed with convenience and speed in mind. A powerful memo function called Quick Memo™ enables users to jot notes on the screen using a finger. Quick Memo™ in Optimus UI 3.0 allows users to share their thoughts through social networks, text messages and e-mails more conveniently than ever before.
Other new features include:
— the ability to unlock the phone by dragging anywhere on the screen;
— a new Pattern Lock that allows users to preset the most frequently used function, such as the camera, which automatically opens once the phone is unlocked;
— a simpler version of Optimus UI 3.0 for new smartphone users which organizes the main applications so that they are the easiest to access;
— a new Voice Shutter that allows users to capture photos using only voice commands;
— a special camera feature that enables users to pick up the best shot among multiple images including the moment just before the shutter button is depressed;
— an Icon Customizer that provides an additional level of personalization by allowing users to set their own photos as icons and shortcut images;
— the addition of a Download category to the menu for easier organization.
Optimus UI 3.0 will debut on the LG Optimus LTE II launching this week in Korea, followed by LG Optimus 4X HD in June

On May 12, Hudson Institute released its sixth annual Index on Global Philanthropy and Remittances in conjunction with the event "Global Philanthropy: Skating to Where the Puck is Going to Be." Sagamore Senior Fellow Byron Johnson served as a panelist at the event.
The report details recent trends in private flows to the developing world, including the resilience of philanthropic giving throughout the recession. For the last year, Sagamore Institute has been exploring these implications, concluding that citizen philanthropy to the developing world is comprised of an enterprising community concerned about more than just dollars and cents.
Since 2005, Hudson Institute's Center for Global Prosperity has produced an index that uncovers the vast flow of private dollars to the developing world.
In 2009, the United States was responsible for $28 billion in Official Development Assistance (ODA) while private philanthropy, remittances, and private capital accounted for $197.4 billion of outflows to the developing world—a number dwarfing ODA from all Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries combined.
With such striking figures, Sagamore has been examining outflows from Indiana to Africa. Sagamore's Indiana-Africa Connections Project unearthed nearly 300 Hoosier organizations that are engaging with sub-Saharan Africa.
Additionally, Sagamore Senior Fellow Donald Cassell recently detailed Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's innovative approach to philanthropic inflows through the Liberian Philanthropy Secretariat, a coordinating entity for incoming philanthropic projects.
Looking ahead, the index points out that philanthropy and remittances remain a critical lifeline to the poor and could be leveraged for economic development. How to better harness those dollars will continue to be a critical question in the foreign relief and development conversation.

Raspberry cognac jam
Makes six to eight 1-cup/240-ml jars of jam
- 4½ cups/555 g ripe fresh raspberries
- 6¼ cups/1.4 kg sugar
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 3 cups plus 2 tbsp/750 ml Cognac or another brandy
Put six to eight 1-cup/240-ml jam jars in a pot of boiling water to sterilize them. (You can also run them through the dishwasher.) Let cool.
Place the raspberries in a large pot. Mix in the sugar and let sit for 2 to 3 hours, until the berries begin giving off their juice. Add the lemon juice and bring to a boil, stirring. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes, until thickened to a more jamlike consistency. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Do this one more time—bring the jam to a boil and simmer, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes, or until the jam is the consistency you desire.
Remove from the heat. Slowly pour in the Cognac, mixing constantly.
While still hot, pour the jam into the sterilized jars, wipe the rims, and seal tightly. Place the jars in a pot, fill the pot so the water covers the jar by at least 2 in/5 cm, and bring to a boil. Let the water boil for 10 minutes.
Remove the jars from the pot, cool, and store.

About Me
A veteran New York photo-print journalist-turned-videographer, born and bred in New Delhi, India, my first digital vidoe one hour TV program "MISTAKEN IDENTITY: A 9/11 Story" focused on discovering Sikh Americans after the terrorist Attacks on the World Trade Center 11 September 2001. Winner of three 1st prize awards at American Film Festivals, the investigative story is seen through the eyes of the late 21-year old Amanda Gesine Winklevoss, a young graduate student from George Washington University. Earlier, I specialized in producing and directing TV programs exclusively for North America and EU, under the company banner of "GLOBAL CULTURAL DIVERSITY FILMS (GCDF) INC., which was set up by a small team of 16/35mm women filmmakers. We were interested in focusing on topics of "leadership role models for women, world religions, spirituality and innovative and inspirational personalities ... exclusively for the global family and younger generation.
Therefore, GCDF's Archival department, since 2001, has incredible videotapes of hundreds of hours of digital/HD videos, as we have kept producing and directing films. That whole archive production is now part of VOICES OF WOMEN WORLDWIDE'S VOWW-TV NETWORK. Most recently, VOWW-TV has started editing and creating a uniqre TV series titled: "VOICES OF VOICELESS WOMEN" - ordinary grassroots women form around the world doing extraoridnary projects in their urban and rural communities. VOWW-TV is scheduling to edit and broadcast across some 100 WebTV networks within the next 6 months into 2013. Especially after interviewing tens of hundreds of women and young girls from around the world, including those 10 days conferences during the 55th & 56th Commission on the Status of Women (22 Feb-7Mar 2011 and 2 Feb- 9 Mar 2012). Most elaborate was the launching of UN WOMEN on 24 February 2011, at the United Nations headquartered in New York. It was officially declared by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who appointed the former President of Chile Michelle Bachelet, Executive Director. The events concluded in the midst of the preparations to mark the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day - one day - exclusively commemorated annually worldwide - celebrating all those ordinary women who have played and are playing extraordinary roles in the history of their communities around the world. It also became the "one day" to reflect on progress made for women's rights and to call for more radical changes and empowerment for the girl-child, young women and all women through progressive education and daily communication.
Unfortunately, VOWW's team saw how only Hollywood stars, corporate Presidents and global diplomatic Ambassadors, and other celebrated personalities, musicians and artists, who had lent their names, were completely swamped and covered by the mainstream and UN global media. Therefore VOWW-TV grew out of filming and singularly recognizing all those women and young girls left "voiceless" to attend their small but empowering committee rooms in the UN Church Centers and the Salvation Army building. All those grassroots women who had come to share their voices at the United Nations and report on what was happening in their national countries, speaking on spectacular accomplishments in their rural and urban communities in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, South and South East Asia, South Pacific, etc.
VOICES OF WOMEN & VOWW-TV invites all women's and young girls' organizations to partner, host, share and become involved in distributing information and evolve in our regular syndications over YouTube, Goggle TV, iTunes, Facebook, Verizon FiOS, TiVO, Sony TVs, Vizio, the iPad and videoblogging and hundreds of partner-website networks. For example, let's become the Global Spiderwoman VOWW-TV network weaving the Web by sharing in the latest digital media technologies offered on the Internet Gateway. Let's truly learn to share and "monetize" our work - which stands excluded from the exclusve Corporate Boys' Club that generate the funds through their hundreds and thousands of partnerships,i.e. Microsoft, Apple, Dell, etc. There is much to be done ... and as usual very little money for the womenfolk. So let's find different ways, therefore VOICES OF WOMEN WORLDWIDE welcome your suggestions and looks forward to working in unity for the empowerment of women, young girls and children worldwide. Contact: email@example.com or visit our website: http://voicesofwomenwordlwide-vowwtv.ning.com Creatively putting proposals, budgets, and scripts to produce preferably with womens groups, investigative docudramas to enhance, inspire and educate women innovatively around the world Most women's organizations work with incredibly devoted volunteers and frustratingly with little money - so we must work together and promote ourselves and our grassroots sisters in poor urban and rural areas around the world Offering expertise in using video camera, computers for editing, and appropriate knowledge of fundrising with business plans, sales marketing and distribution of merchandise to empower women and young girls
My Vision for the Future
Uniting women to understand multimedia and computeer technology and rise them to the level of gender equality and female empowerment and taking their lives and the lives of children and family into their own hands towards prosperity and livehood.

Additional Details
In the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy in Colombo boards a ship bound for England. At mealtimes he is seated at the "cat's table"--as far from the Captain's Table as can be--with a ragtag group of "insignificant" adults and two other boys, Cassius and Ramadhin. As the ship makes its way across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, the boys tumble from one adventure to another, bursting all over the place like freed mercury. But there are other diversions as well: one man talks with them about jazz and women, another opens the door to the world of literature. The narrator's elusive, beautiful cousin Emily becomes his confidante, allowing him to see himself "with a distant eye" for the first time, and to feel the first stirring of desire. Another Cat's Table denizen, the shadowy Miss Lasqueti, is perhaps more than what she seems. And very late every night, the boys spy on a shackled prisoner, his crime and his fate a galvanizing mystery that will haunt them forever. As the narrative moves between the decks and holds of the ship and the boy's adult years, it tells a spellbinding story--by turns poignant and electrifying--about the magical, often forbidden, discoveries of childhood and a lifelong journey that begins unexpectedly with a spectacular sea voyage.

Hart Parr Founders of the Tractor Industry Brochure
This 1923 Hart Parr brochure is far more then just a typical tractor brochure. The Brochure cover the Hart Parr models 28-50, 18-36, 12-20 and the Hart Parr Road Maintenance Tractor. Nearly every area and component on the tractor and construction is covered with photos. It's easy to see Hart Parr had a major influence on educating and convincing the farmer on the virtue of the tractor. The 66 page brochure includes hundreds of photos including a dozen or more of the factory. This truly is a historically significant tractor brochure.

The Barn Project
I struggle to put to words the strong emotional pull barns have on my life. Restoring and repairing the very barn that I learned to walk in as a toddler played in as a child and worked in and around as soon as I could contribute brought many of these feelings to the surface.
Me standing in front of the very barn I would tackle a huge
barn restoration project
some forty years later.
I found I am not alone in these feelings. Many people for many reasons have the same strong associations with barns. For that, reason Antique Farming is putting out a call for YOUR barn stories and photos.

New Additions : Allis Chalmers Model B
Allis Chalmers designed the B to be lightweight and simple. It only weighed a ton and had a minimum of parts. However, the $495 price included such luxuries as rubber tires and a cushioned seat.
The combination of an excellent
farm tractor
and effective marketing help the B to become a smashing success. Allis marketing department had experience with such challenges as convincing doubting farmer the benefits of pneumatic tire. Early sales literature for the Allis Chalmers B was devoted to convincing the farmer That the new B required less work to maintain then horses.

Loader Tractors
Most all the tractor manufacturers had been building equipment for "non-agricultural" or for construction purposes. Some, moved slowly in providing construction equipment. Others released products that became classics and the watermark for others to reach.
before the hydraulic loader complex loader rigs used cables and a large mast.
1940's saw an explosion in 3rd party loader sales taking advantage of
hydraulic lift
first used on cultivators. Early loaders used hydraulics to lift the bucket the load was dumped or tripped by a long rope routed back to the operator as shown on this 620

equipped with a John Deere 45 loader.
A new era was entered with the release of the Case Construction King loader.
Case Construction King
Case stockholders approved the merger with construction equipment builder ATC in December 1956,and immediately started retooling to make the new loader backhoe. Only a few months later the first Loader
was shipped. Some initial design problems notwithstanding, completion of this machine marked the dawn of a new era for Case. This machine was the first of its kind, giving Case an immediate edge on the competition.

Tractor Tires
The Allis-Chalmers WC was the first
farm tractor
to be sold with
tractor tires
that was not fitted with steel wheels The tractor tires were special, low-pressure pneumatic tires capable of meeting the varied service requirements demanded of
farm tractors
. And thus started one of the most rapid and striking changes in farm equipment history.
Moline Universal
In the mid-1910s, successful two and three plow
farm tractors
were developed, but failed to meet one very big and important farm power need on American farms - they could not handle row crop cultivation. Even after making the investment in a
farm tractor
, a small farmer needed to maintain a team of horses to cultivate row crops. The result was the motor cultivator, a very light farm tractor primarily designed to carry a set of cultivators. The bizarre-looking Moline "Universals" was a pioneer in the motor cultivator.
Massey Harris Pacer
Massey Harris Pacer
Massey Harris
Pacer was an improved model over the Pony, and although they looked the same, the pacer had a padded seat, hydraulic lift and the frame was a bit longer. It had a 91 cu. in. engine, while the Pony a 62 cu. in. engine.
McCormick Reaper
THE McCORMICK REAPER 1842
In 1831,
Cyrus McCormick
drove this one horse contraption through a wheat field to cut the very first grain mechanically. He sold the first one in 1842 and began manufacturing them in Chicago in 1847 Under the name
McCormick Harvesting Machinery Co
later the company would merge to become The
International Harvester Company
John Deere 720
achieved many records in the Deere line: It was the largest row-crop two-cylinder model built by
John Deere
the largest row-crop tractor tested at Nebraska; it provided more work per gallon of diesel fuel of any wheeled or crawler tractor tested up to that time; and the gas and LP-gas models were also the most powerful row-crops of their fuel type.
The 3PT War

AUGUSTA -- The use of racial slurs in hip-hop has been an issue since the genre's rise into the mainstream.
The "N-word" in particular has evolved from its former derogatory meaning to a term of endearment among African-Americans.
Having rooted itself in the culture of hip-hop, artists and listeners that have been conditioned to the genre's lifestyle use racial slurs in music and in everyday speech.
Even those of other ethnicities use racial slurs in reference to each other with no means of ill intent.
However, as hip-hop evolves, so does the diversity of artists who carry on its traditions.
As music changes along with its listeners, the use of racial slurs may continue to be an issue with or without a resolution.

Browning reflects on super seasonBy: Matt Long, Sports Editor
It's been a whirlwind season for Folsom High sophomore quarterback Jake Browning.
Though he's the centerpiece of Folsom's spread offense and set a state record for most passing yards in a season with 5,246 yards and came two touchdowns shy from a state record for touchdown passes, he's still only a sophomore, a year removed from playing freshman football. He didn't let on to anyone that his and the team's accomplishments this season were anything out of the ordinary, but Sunday he had a chance to reflect on the season, starting all the way back in May with spring ball.
"It's been a crazy year," Browning said. "I never expected to do that well and to be playing De La Salle in the Nor-Cal championship game. I knew our defense and Coach Baiz would do well, and I knew what we had at the skill positions and on the line, so I guess it came down to whether or not I performed. For us the quarterback position is a big deal and I think I had a good season. Looking back there's a million things I didn't do well, but it was a successful season."
There were a number of highlights to the season, including his 10-touchdown pass debut against Woodcreek in the season's opening game. Browning said, however, his confidence really began to grow after the team camp at Cal Berkeley in June.
"After camp I knew I could hang," Browning said. "I was more confident after that. Of course, that first game was nice, but after the San Ramon game (29-45 for 375 yards, 4 TDs, 2 INTs in a 31-20 win in the second game) I felt even more comfortable because it proved the Woodcreek game wasn't a fluke."
Browning said he will remember the 10-touchdown game against Woodcreek, the 49-21 win over Oak Ridge and the 44-18 section championship game against Elk Grove the most.
"Sadly, I think I'll always remember the De La Salle game too," said Browning of the first loss he's suffered as a high school player. "I try not to look back on the past and think what if, but I supposed I could have made better reads and been more accurate on some throws. I probably could have done better."
Asked about the state passing mark, Browning deflected any personal accomplishment to the team.
"It says a lot about hard work," Browning said. "I've got to credit my line for protecting me and my receivers because most of those yards come after the catch. We throw screens that those guys break for 70-yard touchdowns."
So what does Browning do for an encore? How does he improve on a season when he passed for a state record amount of yards?
"I'm just going back to the basics by throwing routs, lifting and running," he said. "I can work on my angle corner routs, my sluggo routs and the double-move routs. I can also get my arm stronger by lifting weights, throwing and staying flexible."
Folsom coach Kris Richardson agreed.
"The year experience will help him next year for one, but there's a lot Jake can work on to improve," Richardson said. "He can work on his athleticism, his arm strength and his foot speed. I know he'll work with Troy at the passing academy too. He's a competitor and he'll do everything he has to do to continue to improve. Every player who's a competitor will strive to improve and Jake's that type of player."
With Browning coming back for his junior year, Folsom will be solid at quarterback next season. They've also got several key players returning and a strong sophomore class moving up to the varsity level. Browning predicts good things.
"We lose a lot of key players, but we have good guys returning too," he said. "We're going to have to rebuild like we did from last year to this year. If we work hard I think we can go further than we did this year."

An investigation into Saturday's fatal shooting of a dog in Commerce City by police will be handed over to the district attorney's office, the city announced Tuesday.
Commerce City Police Interim Chief Chuck Saunier asked the DA for the 17th Judicial district to take over the investigation to "ensure a thorough and unbiased third-party review," according to a released statement.
"As law enforcement personnel, we want to maintain the highest standards and make sure our actions are above reproach," Saunier said.
Adams County District Attorney Don Quick said he will agree to handle the investigation and said the office will publish its findings when the investigation is complete.
Saunier ordered an investigation on Monday into the incident.
In previously released statements, Commerce City police have described the dog — 3-year-old Chloe, a pitbull — as vicious.
"For the safety of the community and the officers on scene, the officer fired his weapon multiple times to put down the dog and ensure the safety of everyone," police said.
Neighbors, and dog lovers who have seen a home-made video of the incident have raised concerns about the need to use fatal gunfire to control the dog.

Localization, Internationalization, Translation... How's it work?
This theme is ready for translation but still require you to actually do the translating (either manually or though a plugin) as I don't speak any language other than English.
What does this mean? It essentially means that the theme has been coded so that it's ready to accept multi-language translation without you needing to sift through the code. It's "internationalized", if you want to use WordPress developer's lingo.
For true translations into native languages, I recommend the "Code Style Localization" Plugin, which is available for free in the WordPress plugins directory.
Find more details and instructions on how to create the translations here: http://www.code-styling.de/english/development/wordpress-plugin-codestyling-localization-en
Essentially, you'll need to create a custom .PO file with the plugin, fill in your translations for each text string used in the theme, then use the plugin to create a .MO file that will be used for the theme. If you've done a lot of translations in the past, you'll know you also may need to do this for each involved plugin.
In summary though - we're following the official WP codex on providing the proper code markup for this - there's not much actual support that we can do here as we're all English-only speakers though.
