Despite tremendous growth in select sectors, women are still
only paid 77 percent of what their male counterparts make according to the
American Association of University Women. Women earn less for numerous reasons
including field of study, occupation, and the number of hours they work during
the work week. The Paycheck Fairness Act is now being introduced for the third
time in four years in the United States Senate.

The results from the Compensation Best Practices Survey are in! Over 4,300 executives and human resources professionals from all sizes of business and all industries completed the survey. The PayScale team is diligently working on the full report right now, but the news is exciting and I wanted to give you a sneak preview of what you can expect to find in the 2013 Best Practices Report:

From Super Bowl Monday hangovers to potential issues around office romances, rogue employees can wreak havoc on businesses. Some behaviors are more serious than others. This week's roundup takes a look at some of the stories about employees' rogue behavior. What are your company policies around bad behavior in the workplace? Do you have any?

Stock Shares (RSS), often called Restricted Stock Awards (RSA) or even more simply
Restricted Stock, have been used longer than any other equity compensation
instrument. Companies have used variations of restricted stock for almost as
long as stock has existed. While ISOs
and NQSOs
are "appreciation only" awards, RSSs are Full Value Awards (FVA). RSS awards
are unique in that they require the issuance of real stock as of the date of
the award. Restricted Stock is a confusing term since it can refer to at least
three major categories of stock. 1) Stock issued prior to registration with the
SEC under the 1933 Act; 2) Stock issued to affiliates of the company who are
subject to Rule 144 filings; 3) Stock that must meet time and/or performance
conditions before it can be freely transferred. For the sake of this post, I
will only cover the last of these.

A performance evaluation is an
opportunity for a manager and an employee to meet and discuss the employee's
job performance, organizational priorities, and performance goals. For
employees this process can be something they dread or look forward to. Despite
being a star employee there might be things that they can still improve on but
receiving that type of feedback can feel like being put in front of a firing
squad. As new generations continue to enter the workforce the way they receive
feedback varies. Formal processes can seem daunting, where an informal review
might put them at ease.
With flu season hitting us hard and plenty of people coughing and oozing all around us, a focus on the buzz around staying healthy at work seemed appropriate. It's also National Heart Month, so there are great ideas floating around the internet to help you get back to good health. Here are five of our favorites.

It is HR's time in the sun. Technologically-speaking,
that is.
While the past several decades have delivered
ever more sophisticated capabilities to businesses in the form of software, analytics
and transaction processing tools, HR was always a bit of an afterthought. Oh,
there was the PeopleSoft wave of the 90s and even an ongoing flirtation with
'employee self service' which was really aimed at getting the employee to do
the data entry so that HR didn't have to hire clerks to do it. And while these
systems—often closely tied to financials because the real goal was to get
payroll right—provided some benefits, they were mostly administrative, not
key component in the mix of employee retention strategies is to offer employees
career development opportunities. As the war for talent heats up in 2013, retention has become a primary concern for many employers. But what kind of education do employees want and how do you give them a valuable opportunity in a cost-effective manner?
"Our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts." -President Obama's Inauguration Speech, 2013
Today marks the fourth anniversary of President Obama's signing of
the Lilly Ledbetter Act. Though it may not have been enough to close the gender gap, other important advances,
like data-driven software, have helped the
cause tremendously. Let's first take a look back at highlights of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act:
This week's Five for Friday focus is on employee reward and recognition programs. Below are highlights of the week's articles on the subject. A consistent theme is to reward often, even if it means the rewards are smaller. As long as they are meaningful and timely, you'll fnd success in your rewards program.
We spend a lot of time in the Compensation Today blog talking about attracting, motivating, rewarding and retaining employees, but what about your own career? Have you thought about what you'd like to change to keep yourself on track with your career goals? Maybe you want to earn more money or finally earn that promotion. Maybe it's time to begin working on an advanced certification, like a PHR or SPHR. Have you often thought about getting an MBA in Human Resources? Or, perhaps, you might be ready to switch careers and start over in a new field. Big career goals like that can be daunting—where do you begin? It's simpler than you think. Start with three words: Make It Happen.

How many times have you checked your email today? Is your email always up and ready to be checked every time you get a pop-up notification? Do you have notifications set up on your smart devices to make sure you never miss an email? Is email proving to be a distraction that's keeping you from all your other HR duties? If you're anything like me, this sounds all too familiar. Email has begun to dictate our lives whether it is for discount codes or the newest business opportunity.

I recently made a life decision that is both scary, and
exciting: I have taken the plunge and re-entered academia after some time away.
When I was younger, I was on track to earn a degree, but my focus was fuzzy and
I felt uncertain of the path I wanted to take. Had I stuck to my school guns, I
would have probably pursued a BA in music, or an arts-based field. I don't mean
to bemoan these career paths, but given my current interests and ambitions, I'm
glad I made the decision to wait to go to school.
It seems that five is the magic number in blogging these days. There are five steps to achieving anything and five key things you need to know about any given subject. Along those lines, we present you with our picks for five of the best five lists of the week.
Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs
Carrot Principle
unwraps one of the most in-depth
management studies ever undertaken. Involving nearly 200,000 people over a
ten-year period, it showed that the most central characteristic of any successful
manager is that they offer frequent and effective recognition to their employees
on an ongoing basis. Productivity skyrocketed when managers took a hands-on
approach to constructive praise and gave small, yet meaningful, rewards that
motivate employees.
the good old days, determining total compensation was fairly easy. Always
wrong, but easy. For any given year you just added up what you paid people in
base pay, what you expected to pay them in bonuses, other cash incentives, and
the Fair Value (or a reasonable equivalent) of equity at the time it was
granted. Public companies disclosed this information and shareholders were left
to make their own projections from there. There has been a fairly rapid
movement to a measurement called "realizable pay" (the current/recent value of
outstanding pay). This metric may also be combined with "realized pay" (the
value of exercised or otherwise delivered pay) in an attempt to provide a more
accurate picture of total compensation and its alignment to company
Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs
If your employees are looking to be out of a job in
the near future, let them keep on smoking their 'legal' joints. There are currently 19
states that have enacted legislation making it legal to use marijuana for
medical purposes, which is nearly half of the United States. Does your company
currently operate in one of these states? What about in the future? How will
you handle medical marijuana in the workplace?
As a small or startup business professional, payroll might seem
like the last logistic you'd like to figure out. Your first crucial human resources investment should be in tools to get compensation right, but after that it makes sense to take a look at automating other HR processes, such as payroll. Learning how to file business
taxes and payroll paperwork might not be your idea of time well spent, so
hiring a payroll provider could be a strategic option.
Now, more than ever, women are claiming their rightful place in the workforce. From HR to CEOs, the gender gap is rapidly decreasing, yet unequal salaries still remain. Why is this? Our weekly blog review examines how sisters are doing it for themselves.

Hey BTDT Moms-
This is #2 and I am experiancing horrible horrible stretching pains in my side. They can be crippling at times. Does anyone have any relief ideas?
Hey BTDT Moms-
This is #2 and I am experiancing horrible horrible stretching pains in my side. They can be crippling at times. Does anyone have any relief ideas?
I'll let you know if I find out anything!! It didn't happen with #1. Man are these nasty! At least with contractions you can breathe through them.
Mainly all in my right side. It will go to my lower abdomen, but the right side has been a constant. Someone suggested that I may not be drinking enough. Although I seem to get them even on days I'm definitely hydrated. Fetal position sounds about right!! LOL I'm sorry girl that you are going through this too. I told my hubby that based on this, it's likely I can make it through natural childbirth!!
oh Taylor- hang on! LOL Just kidding, yours may not get as bad as what we're experiancing. The cramping after O is really normal. But I totally know what you are talking about! Had that happen with both. I'm almost 23 weeks now, and this is really different. It feels like someone is taking a knife to the inside of my stomach. It stinks!
i have them on my left side and yes, it makes you want to cry sometimes.
i've been laying down on my right side and using a heating pad on the left to help. this happens throughout the day. so i'll be up for a few hours and laying down for about an hour and then up again and down again.
i talked to my doctor about this and she said the heating pad and resting was fine. if i wanted i could go to physical therapy.
I understood what you meant. You also said you cramp after O, and that I was responding too as well.

Hey guys, I've found some information on this but not enough for me to solve it myself. I'm trying to get a custom post type to show up on the titles and metas page but I don't know how. I realise this is more to do with the theme than anything else and that whatever the plugin looks for in the custom post types isn't there (has_archives?).
What do I have to do to get a custom post type to show up?

AB Sciex and the University of Wollongong (UOW) in Australia have established a partnership to develop a lipid structural analysis platform based on the university's OzID (ozone induced dissociation) technology. Under terms of the collaboration AB Sciex has an exclusive license to OzID, a method that uses mass spectrometry and ozone to first separate lipid components out of complex mixtures and then cut them at the position of double bonds.
"This allows an unambiguous assignment of the compound structure and, importantly, differentiates molecules that vary only by the position of their double bonds," explains principal investigator Stephen Blanksby, at the UOW's School of Chemistry. "Learning more about the molecular distribution of lipids in complex biological samples may provide a greater understanding of lipid metabolism, its role in health and disease, and potential ways to prevent or manage diseases."
A multidisciplinary AB Sciex and UOW research team will receive funding from an ARC Linkage Project grant to develop a standardized procedure for determining double bond positions in lipids, and explore natural lipid functions in areas such as energy storage, cell membrane structure, and hormone signaling.
"Lipid research is a fast-growing area in need of new breakthroughs to advance the impact that lipidomics can have on biological studies," adds Ron Bonner, principal scientist at AB Sciex. "We see a great opportunity of applying cutting-edge intellectual property by working with forward-thinking researchers at the University of Wollongong to take innovative ideas such as OzID from the idea phase to market."
AB Sciex' collaboration with the UOW is part of the firm's new Academic Partnership Program, an initiative designed to support the development of IP originating in academia, and which provides access to technical expertise and support in mass spectrometry and chromatography.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Behold the Butter Dome! As the old saying goes, it's not a party until there's a 110-pound block of butter involved and a "renowned butter
Behold the Butter Dome!As the old saying goes, it's not a party until there's a 110-pound block of butter involved and a "renowned butter sculptor." And as far as the celebration in Seattle over the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding for an NBA/NHL arena in SoDo goes, it's official. The party is started!
*See Also: Arena Deal Approved; Obligatory Statements Released
Yes, on Tuesday Seattle Weekly intern Kyle Houk ventured out to Darigold headquarters on Rainier Avenue to behold the Darigold-designed Butter Dome, carved by famed (no, really!) butter sculptor Linda Christensen out of the aforementioned 110-pound block of butter, and all commissioned by the Seattle-based dairy company in honor of the city's soon-to-be arena.
In speaking with Gwendolyn Elliott over on the Voracious side of the operation last week, Darigold Senior Product Manager Seth Godwin described the vision for the celebratory butter-sculpture, the results of which -- the freakin' Butter Dome (pictured below) -- will be on display to the public today at Elysian Fields from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
The sculpture is "based on a 3D rendering Darigold officials designed," Godwin explained. "[Christensen] has to create the entire piece out of one block of butter. We're just having fun with our product."
So will Seattle's new arena end up looking anything like the Butter Dome? Absolutely not. But you have to give Darigold credit for marketing outside the box, and you have to give Christensen props for her butter-sculpting skills.
Here's a look at how Darigold drew up the Butter Dome.

NFC Championship tickets on sale- tonigh 7pm
hdevonxz replied to holderoftruth's topic in Carolina Panthersdamn ticketmaster website doesn't even work man
NFC Championship tickets on sale- tonigh 7pm
hdevonxz replied to holderoftruth's topic in Carolina Pantherstickets are not expensive at all, 123$ to start, and sadly they're only available at ticketmaster not at the stadium so be sure to tack on another 30% to the base price. soo looks like the cheapest seats for the game will cost you around 160$ before the re sale and secondary market.
The Carolina Panthers Ticket Office at Bank of America Stadium will not be open for the onsale on Sunday. Tickets will only be sold through the Ticketmaster network. Please note there are no refunds or exchanges once tickets are purchased. For information about suites and corporate hospitality packages, contact the Carolina Panthers Ticket Office at 704-358-7800 Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wow talk about a drag, could easily have people there on sunday night selling tickets after the game, with no service fees all to true fans. Tickets start at 123 btw, add on taxes and service fees you're looking at about 170 out the door for upper bowl seats.
face value tickets will be much lower, only problem is paying the ridiculous 25% fee.
That would be fuged up if they didn't, buying it at the stadium is the only way to ensure that you don't have to pay the ridiculous 25% "fee" to ticketmaster. The Panthers website lists them as having a ticket box officer in bank of america.
Reverse line movement

Once again Team Services has been caught using toxic waste chemicals from oil and gas drilling as dust control on roads. According to the Record Eagle, Team Services sprayed 300,000 gallons of toxic fluid on 121 miles of roads in Benzie County. Testing showed levels of carcinogenic benzene and toluene 1,000 times higher than the legal limit. This is a recurring story. One year ago, DEQ documents obtained through FOIA request confirmed that Team Services sprayed thousands of gallons of toxic, carcinogenic fracking fluid waste from gas wells on roads in Cheboygan and Kalkaska counties. Public outrage forced the DEQ to suspend permits for this type of "dust control" disposal for one year. Now, a year later, they are at it again. And the penalty for getting caught – a verbal reprimand from the DEQ! How many other roads have been similarly sprayed? How much toluene, benzene and other deadly chemicals have seeped into groundwater from these sprayings? How many animals (including people's pets) have gotten sick from drinking puddles of toxic fluid after a rain storm? How much vegetation has been destroyed? How will these chemicals affect area farms and homeowner water wells? It's time for the DEQ to do its job. Stop allowing the poisoning of our environment with oil and gas drilling chemicals.

John Roderick is the singer and songwriter responsible for Seattle's The Long Winters. He tweets @johnroderick .
Read all of John Roderick's Q&A column in the July issue of Reverb Monthly, out July 3.
John Roderick is the singer and songwriter responsible for Seattle's The Long Winters. He tweets @johnroderick.
What does it mean if I'm annoyed by the racket the teenagers are making playing basketball outside my window right now at 10pm on a weeknight? Certainly not that I'm a cranky curmudgeon? -- Cheryl Waters, host of The Midday Show on 90.3 KEXP
Roderick: Not at all, Cheryl! The fact is that teenagers today have no respect! Certainly not the common decency we had as teenagers not to make any noise after ten or to play basketball next to apartments where people might be sleeping. Why, I myself remember needing to chastise a few of my teenage friends to please be considerate of the neighbors when they were playing a rather spirited game of whist outside on a summer's evening.
The fact is that we, you and I, are members of the last generation of people to have been raised correctly or to have any consideration for others, and it is absolutely our responsibility to explain to the CHILDREN who are RUNNING WILD IN OUR STREETS that some behaviors have consequences. That is basically the most punk rock thing you can do, because we are the punk rock generation and will never grow old!
Waters: Do you really while away the days in the bathtub, as your twitter posts suggest? And, if so, what do you do in there all those hours, besides bathe, obviously? [My autocorrect turned "bathtub" into "bathrobe" as I was writing this so feel free to alternately, or additionally, answer the same question with bathrobe substituted for bathtub.] By the way, have you ever considered wearing bedouin dress? I think that would be a smart look for you.
I do spend hours in the bathtub, eating sandwiches, writing sternly-worded letters to the editor, etc. because even though I live alone I also need an inner sanctum within my sanctum. I also spend many more hours than that in my bathrobe. In fact, I am writing this to you now from within my bathrobe. I would estimate that between taking baths and lounging around in bath-related terrycloth garments I am only actually dressed in human clothes a maximum of four hours a day, and that is generally under duress.
Waters: Do you talk out loud to yourself when you're alone?
I am never alone. I always have a little gang of disagreeable people arguing with me that no one else is able to see.

I will now turn the conference over to Inge Vandenberg, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs. Please go ahead.
Inge Vandenberg
Good morning and welcome to the Loblaw Companies Limited third quarter conference call. This call is also being webcast simultaneously on our website, www.loblaw.ca. I'm joined here this morning by Galen G. Weston, Executive Chairman; Allan Leighton, President and Deputy Chairman; Dalton Philips, Chief Operating Officer; Bob Vaux, Chief Financial Officer and Sarah Davis, Executive Vice President, Finance.
Before we begin today's call, I want to remind you that the discussion will include forward-looking statements such as the company's beliefs and expectations regarding certain aspects of its financial performance in 2009 and future years. These statements are based on certain assumptions and reflect management's current expectations, and they are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations. These risks and uncertainties are discussed in the company's materials filed with the Canadian Securities Regulators from time to time including the company's annual report and third quarter report. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.
Certain non-GAAP financial measures may be discussed or referred to today. Please refer to our third quarter report and other materials filed with the Canadian Securities Regulators from time to time for a reconciliation of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Our third quarter report as well as the archive of this conference call will be available on our website.
I will now turn the call over to Galen Weston.
Galen G. Weston
Good morning. Thank you for joining us. As we progressed through the third quarter, our sales were increasingly impacted by the significant decline in inflation and the ramp up of our pricing investments.
Earnings benefited from cost containment and supply chain efficiencies. We expect that sales and margins will be challenged due to decreasing inflation, competitive intensity and our ongoing renovation and infrastructure programs.
Lastly, this quarter we're delighted to finalize the acquisition of T & T Supermarkets Incorporated, and we welcome T & T's talented management team and colleagues into our Loblaw's family of companies and look forward to continue running what we believe are the best Asian supermarkets in Canada.
I'll now turn the call over to Bob Vaux to review our financial performance.
Robert G. Vaux
Good morning and thank you for joining us today. Sales in the third quarter decreased by 0.2% to $9.5 billion, while same-store sales decreased by 0.6%. Sales and same-store sales in the quarter were positively affected by about 0.5% as a result of the shift of the Thanksgiving holiday into the third quarter of '09 from the fourth quarter of '08.
Sales were negatively impacted by 0.5% as a result of the sale of the company's food service business in the fourth quarter of '08 and positively impacted by 0.2% by the acquisition of T & T. Excluding these items, sales and same-store sales declined by 0.4% and 1.1% respectively.
In the third quarter, sales growth in food and drugstore was modest, sales growth in apparel was moderate, while sales of other general merchandise declined significantly and gas bar sales declined significantly as a result of lower retail gas prices, despite moderate volume drop.
National food price inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for food purchased from stores was 4.2% in the third quarter of '09. Our internal retail food price inflation was below CPI for food and significantly lower than our internal retail food price inflation in the second quarter of '09. In addition, I'll remind you that we experienced moderate internal food price inflation in the third quarter of '08.
Gross profit in the third quarter was $2.2 billion or 22.9% of sales versus $2.1 billion or 22.1% of sales in the third quarter of last year. The improvement was largely due to improved buying synergies, more disciplined vendor management, sales mix, lower fuel costs and the efficiency of transportation operations. Increased investments in pricing partially offset the improvement.
Operating income was $378 million in the third quarter compared to $312 million in Q3 '08. Operating margin was 4% compared to 3.3% last year and operating income and operating margin were positively influenced by improved gross profit, lower labor and supply chain costs and a lower net stock-based compensation charge, partially offset by the previously announced incremental investment in information technology in supply chain. The company incurred an incremental cost of $25 million in the third quarter related to its previously announced investment in information technology in supply chain, which negatively impacted earnings per share by roughly $0.06.

There were hundreds of whiskies for sampling this past weekend at Victoria Whisky Festival, an event that has a global reputation for seriousness and comprehensiveness. But I was most interested in trying the Canadian whiskeys, a few of which aren't yet available in the U.S. -- and at least one of which isn't yet available in Canada. The following whiskeys were especially riveting, and worth seeking out even if a border crossing's required.
Canadian Club has released a whiskey with 30 years of aging behind it, but folks who know (namely, Davin de Kergommeaux) assured me that the 20-year old spirit is even tastier than its elder brother. While I was biased to like anything with the Canadian Club label after learning the brand was launched in 1858 by a Detroiter who bought cheap land across the river in Windsor, I'd wager it wouldn't require a provincial mindset to love this terrifically elaborate spirit's woodsy, toffee-like flavors.
Named for Bat Masterson, a Canadian emigrant who became a U.S. marshal and buffalo hunter, Masterson's is a 10-year old straight rye produced by Sonoma's Sebastiani wine family. "We wanted to take a wine approach," owner Richard Zeller explains. "We wanted the best rye, and the only country that does a great job with rye is Canada." Since its release last August, Zeller has entertained offers to buy the entire bottling of 4000 cases. While the whiskey has a delicacy and balance befitting a liquor made by someone with a wine background, its dominant flavors are manly: There are lovely notes of tobacco, leather and earth.
Canadian distillers of very proud of their homegrown grains, but it's rare to find a whiskey aged in Canadian wood. White oaks are slow to grow in Canada's cool climate, so Canadian whiskey is typically barreled in American white oak. But Forty Creek's John Hall found a stand of oaks just miles from his distillery, and used the 150-year old trees to make casks for his Confederation Oak, a whiskey that sounds notes of vanilla and fruit -- and has a raft of awards to show for it.
In the U.S. whisky market, the absence of color indicates a distillery's trying to tap into the nostalgia for backwoods moonshine or -- more likely -- couldn't afford to wait to release its first product. But Canadian distillers aren't allowed to slap a whiskey label on white dog, since federal law requires all whiskeys spend three years in the barrel. To produce a clear liquor, White Owl filters its aged whiskey, emulating a method that once had a strong foothold in Quebec under the name "whisky blanc." de Kergommeaux likens the end product to Sprite "with hints of oak tannins." Since we're already talking soda, I think the drink's even closer to Squirt, with strong citrus flavors and a creamy mouth feel. A spiced version is slated for release this year.

12 (?!) people (and a skull) onstage for Agesandages' closing number.

12 (?!) people (and a skull) onstage for Agesandages' closing number.

The Tractor
Sunday, May 15
Last night's show at the Tractor was what I believe is called in common parlance a "stacked bill"--three bands you know are going to bring it. The lineup of Cataldo, Agesandages, and LAKE makes sense: Not only do they pair well sonically, they're bands that want to play together. And bring it they did, albeit in a relaxed, Sunday-night way.
Up first, Cataldo, whose songs, a little bit Decemberists, a little bit Death Cab, are the sonic equivalent of a comfy couch. With his unkempt beard, wire-rimmed glasses, and pedestrian sweater, frontman Eric Anderson looked almost professorial, but his surefooted vocals sounded more Paul Simon than anything your math teacher could muster. The upbeat tone of the songs and their bright instrumentation-- vigorously strummed acoustic guitar backed by violin, keys, and electric bass-- belies a strong songwriting backbone and even some darker subject matter--pretty sure I heard vengeful breakup lyrics at one point, but the songs are so catchy you'd never suspect.
Second act Agesandages were recently named one of the best new bands in Portland by Willamette Week. They were also tuckered out, as this show marked the final night of a five-week tour with LAKE. In a touching moment, frontman Tim Perry gave his heartfelt thanks to his bandmates for their hard work and dedication on the road, and the fact they all still get along after cramming seven people in a van for a month is seriously commendable. Yes, you read that right--Agesandages have seven members, meaning they have serious firepower behind their harmonies and percussion, plus the ability to achieve syncopated clapping. At first a little choppy, their folk-pop (yes, that again) set built to a thrilling conclusion when they invited the members of LAKE to join on the last two numbers, turning in an oversize version of the great "So So Freely" with a full dozen people singing.
LAKE took the stage to a thinning crowd, and though they too seemed a bit tired and glad to be off the road, their songs sounded as fresh and polished as ever. Mainly playing songs from their new album, Giving and Receiving, LAKE have a great vibe reminiscent of '60s beach parties. I'm almost 100 percent certain they don't listen to Stereolab or Air, but their cool keyboard sounds and singer Ashley Eriksson's soothing, vibrato-less vocals remind me a bit of '90s French pop. Their songs are refreshing in the truest sense of the word, and if it got a laugh when singer Eli Moore commented "Rock and roll" between songs--hey, not everyone is going to be Dio.
Some of the band lives on Whidbey Island, so Moore ended the set by saying "We're going to play two more songs, and then we're going to catch the last ferry." He then invited Agesandages up to sing, a fitting end to a collaborative night of bands who clearly like and respect each other.
FYI: LAKE started out as a Fleetwood Mac cover band.
Overheard: "Is there some rule that six people on stage is awkward, but 12 is awesome?"

Check out these bargain stocks
Downsizing may be appealing, but consider these first
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Recently I joined a new group on LinkedIn (Cloud Computing) and one of the topics was cloud pricing and how low it will go. I think we can all agree that the pricing model for most cloud vendors is unrealistic for various reasons. But then one comment caught my eye, someone had said: 'The cloud is the junk bond of computing.'
I had heard that some people believe cloud technology will turn the shares of many software vendors into junk bonds, but never this.
What followed was, in my opinion, a barrage of hype and plain and simple uneducated, generalised accusations about what cloud computing is and will do to its clients.
The sad thing is, I have heard all of these emotional and factually incorrect accusations before. In the '70s & '80s when the PCs came out and again in the late '80s & '90s, when the Internet started to impact our lives. These people never change and are often driven by the desire for a less changeable work environment.
The fact is that the world is still here and the world of business, our health and our tech industries have all been immeasurably improved by these technologies and it has connected the human race like never before.
Is it all good? Certainly not, but it certainly is not all bad either. On balance, I believe cloud computing will be the future for almost all aspects of computing and it will be of benefit to you, me, businesses and society at large.
It is an unfortunate side-effect of the Internet that everyone can voice their opinion about everything, and package it as expertise in the eyes of the unsuspecting reader, even subject matters they do not understand.
What can be even more surprising is when industry insiders spread hype, i.e. about their data centre security, SLAs, etc.. Again, let us be clear - nobody can guarantee zero downtime.
We need to learn to recognise hype - positive or negative - when we see it and we need to call it. Only then can we have a much needed serious debate about cloud.

Oklahoma football: Red River Rivalry trip still exciting for longtime bus driver Arvel Lyons
NORMAN — Arvel Lyons sat behind the steering wheel and told stories of his bus trips.
Lyons, Oklahoma's personal chauffeur, loves the one about OU coach Bob Stoops leaning out of the bus and tapping on the window of a car full of college girls. Stoops asked if they would mind letting the bus through traffic.
"The girls just laughed," Lyons said. "I can only imagine what they were thinking when the Oklahoma football coach knocked on their window."
At 75 years old, Lyons is a part-time bus driver for Red Carpet, which is based in Oklahoma City. His retirement job is a weekend commitment to drive the Sooner football team to the movies, hotel and stadium during home football games, to the airport for away games and down Interstate 35 to the Cotton Bowl, where Oklahoma will meet Texas for the 107th Red River Rivalry game.
Besides driving down Jenkins Avenue in Norman before the Sooners step on Owen Field for a game, Lyons' favorite drive is the one that takes the Sooners to the Red River Rivalry.
"When we enter into the Texas State Fair, I'm excited," Lyons said, "because I know what team I'm driving."
With the exception of attending his grandson's wedding last weekend, Lyons has driven the Sooners to everything they've needed since 1999.
Lyons' first bus assignment in 1959, for his church while he was also working for Texas Instruments in Dallas.
After 24 years of driving in Dallas, he and his wife, Winnie, returned to Oklahoma City, where they first met at a youth group event.
He continued to drive buses and worked for Capitol Hill Baptist Church until March 1999, when he decided to retire.
After two months of retirement, at his wife's recommendation, he started with Red Carpet. His first drive for the Sooners came when one of the regular OU drivers became ill.
A short time later, that driver retired and Lyons became a second driver. He worked his way up to the lead driver of the 45-foot, 57-passenger bus, where he's been for "quite a few years."
Throughout the years, Lyons met Sooners such as running back Adrian Peterson. That's his other favorite story to tell about driving the Sooners: During the entire trip back to Norman from Dallas, Peterson, now a Minnesota Vikings star, sat in the jump seat and talked with Lyons.
That's what he loves about driving — the interaction with people, especially the football players. It's the youth minister in him. He enjoys drives after a victory. The team is always really loud and having a good time. That's the way Lyons prefers it.
He said after a loss, it's like driving home alone.
"It's that quiet," he said.
Regardless of the record or who played best on the field, Oklahoma's chauffeur switches between driving the offensive and defensive units, but both sides of the ball lay claim to Lyons.
He's known as one of Red Carpet's best drivers.
"He's one of our safest drivers that we have," said Rick Whipple, the driver for Oklahoma's band and Red Carpet's safety manager.
In Lyons's 13 years with Red Carpet, he's never returned the bus with a dent, Whipple said. "He's got a lot of miles under his seat."
Lyons, who drives a blue '94 Chevy pickup truck with a "#1 OU fan" plate, is the lead driver for other Oklahoma sports teams, too. Women's basketball and rowing have Lyons behind the wheel.
This weekend, Lyons will lead a team of seven luxury buses surrounded by four Oklahoma Highway Patrol cars through southern Oklahoma until the buses reach Gainesville, Texas. From there, the Texas Highway Patrol will lead the caravan to the Texas fairgrounds.
"I still get the same excitement as I did the first time when we get that escort," Lyons said.

Topic: Kongregate Multiplayer Games / [Blade Hunter] Too Greedy
ye I have to agree with this. It was supposed to be some big patch, but the only thing that was really new content was the contest grounds, and the daily dungeon is nice, but its a fairly minor update.
other than that, they added about 10+ new ways to spend diamonds, and a whole bunch of bugs. Can't say I was too happy with this patch, even though I am a bit of a casher as well.

Families Celebrate New Year's Eve-Eve
Byline: Steve Zalusky firstname.lastname@example.com
There are ample opportunities for adults to celebrate the coming of the new year, but events for entire families -- and especially young children -- are relatively few and far between.
The Mount Prospect Downtown Merchants Association provided just such an opportunity with its New Year's Eve-Eve celebration Sunday.
The event, held at the Bristol Court Banquets, offered fun for family members of all ages.
For adult family members, that meant mixed drinks at the bar. For children, magician Keith Cobb delivered his special mixture of comedy and magic that included Cobb juggling rubber chickens while exclaiming, "Look, everybody. It's poultry in motion."
For both young and old, there were plenty of hamburgers and hot dogs, and children received goody bags with necklaces, crowns, noisemakers and rubber ducks. Popcorn and hot chocolate also was served.
"It's a good way for the families to celebrate together. And it's the day before, so then mom and dad can celebrate afterward," said association vice president and even co-chair Christy Watychowicz.
Roberta Hamann, president of the merchants association, said this was the fifth year in a row they've hosted the party. Among the local businesses participating this year were Novak and Parker Appliances, Central Continental Bakery, Capannari Ice Cream, Le Peep, Picket Fence Realty and Byte Me Computers. …

26 U.S. Code § 962 - Election by individuals to be subject to tax at corporate rates
An election to have the provisions of this section apply for any taxable year shall be made by a United States shareholder at such time and in such manner as the Secretary shall prescribe by regulations. An election made for any taxable year may not be revoked except with the consent of the Secretary.
For purposes of applying subsection (a)(1), the amount in each taxable income bracket in the tax table in section 11(b) shall not exceed an amount which bears the same ratio to such bracket amount as the amount included in the gross income of the United States shareholder under section 951(a) for the taxable year bears to such shareholder's pro rata share of the earnings and profits for the taxable year of all controlled foreign corporations with respect to which such shareholder includes any amount in gross income under section 951(a).
The earnings and profits of a foreign corporation attributable to amounts which were included in the gross income of a United States shareholder under section 951(a) and with respect to which an election under this section applied shall, when such earnings and profits are distributed, notwithstanding the provisions of section 959(a)(1), be included in gross income to the extent that such earnings and profits so distributed exceed the amount of tax paid under this chapter on the amounts to which such election applied.
1988—Subsec. (a)(1). Pub. L. 100–647 substituted "sections 1 and 55" and "sections 11 and 55" for "section 1" and "section 11", respectively.
1978—Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 95–600 substituted provisions relating to the pro ration of each section 11 bracket amount for provisions relating to the surtax exemption.
1976—Subsecs. (a), (b). Pub. L. 94–455 struck out "or his delegate" after "Secretary" wherever appearing.
1975—Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 94–164 substituted "same ratio to the surtax exemption" for "same ratio to $25,000" in subsec. (c) as such subsec. (c) is in effect for taxable years ending after Dec. 31, 1975.
Pub. L. 94–12 substituted "$50,000" for "$25,000".
Amendment by Pub. L. 100–647 effective, except as otherwise provided, as if included in the provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, Pub. L. 99–514, to which such amendment relates, see section 1019(a) of Pub. L. 100–647, set out as a note under section 1 of this title.
Amendment by Pub. L. 95–600 applicable to taxable years beginning after Dec. 31, 1978, see section 301(c) of Pub. L. 95–600, set out as a note under section 11 of this title.

I have three strings/ints which are day, month, and year. Is there any way of checking if they're in a valid DateTime format? I am using ASP.NET.
When a user registers, he enters a month, day and year.
I used to convert the three variables to a string and tryParse to check if it's legal, but the only problem is running the same project on a different machine because some different machines use different date formats.

Poets Basil King and Thomas Meyer join scholars Carolyn Dinshaw and Michael Hrebeniak for a discussion of the Green Man—the mythic figure that incorporates elements of nature and humanity—from medieval architecture and lore to 21st-century interpretations.
Poet Rae Armantrout and Zen Buddhist priest and poet Norman Fischer investigate new and old concepts of the lyric, using their own poems as jumping-off points.
Two Louisiana poets discuss the history, challenges and future of Louisianan poetry, examining the influence of culture and landscape as well as the work of Cajun and Creole poets.
Poet and educator Richard Lewis leads an exploration of the poetry of shivering winds and frozen rivers, mounds of snow and seamless skies. Children imagine becoming icicles reflecting sunlight and learn how to keep warm inside the words of the wintery poems they write.
Young poets break impossible world records of their own invention in this writing workshop with Karen Benke, author of Rip the Page: Adventures in Creative Writing.
This program is suggested for ages eight to twelve.
"Ghostwriter" Bobbi Katz shares hair-raising poems from her new book The Monsterologist: A Memoir in Rhyme, the spooky account of a man who devotes his life to the study of monsters. After reading from this "Who's Who of Monsterhood" (Paul Janeczko), Katz guides children in writing their own monstrous verse.
Deadline: Friday, November 5, 2010
Edward Hirsch is the author of eight collections of poetry, including Wild Gratitude, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award, and The Living Fire: New and Selected Poems. A longtime professor in the creative writing program at the University of Houston, he is now the president of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
This class examines the way spiritual practice and the life of the mind (often one in the same) play themselves out in poems as old as the Song of Songs and as contemporary as the work we are doing today. Participants will do a close reading of the Song of Songs and consider what makes that poem so timeless. Guest speakers may visit to talk about their own journeys and practices.
This workshop poses the question, "What are the structural elements that make for a good poem?" The writing of workshop participants will be looked at alongside works by writers like Robert Hayden, Lorine Niedecker, Allen Ginsberg and Frank O'Hara. Poems will be excavated for patterns of sounds, meter, word etymologies, images and symbols, and students will write a few poems in the style of their favorite writers.
This course engages the poetic and formal scope and limits of the chapbook-length poem or poem series. Through readings and examples, each participant will write a single chapbook-length book. The workshop will also cover some production techniques so that students leave the class with a book as well as ideas for more.

What more could you ask for?
What do you say about yourself to get someone who has never met you to want to get to know you, possibly like you, and know what a great person you really are?... Well… not sure, but here's a go at it. I am a Mom of two great kids, one which is still at home, but only for a short while longer. I have a job that I love and don't fret going to work every day. I am active, love sports (playing and/or watching), I am a great cook, drama free, not a high maintenance type person at all. I am confident, funny, caring, loving and faithful. I can be adventurous, serious and laid back. I am willing to try new things, love a challenge. In the summertime, I especially love being on the lake, floating around, tubing or just hanging with friends/family. This is just a touch on the surface about who I am; I would love to tell/show the right person more. Now… what am I looking for? I want someone to hang out with, who shares some of the same interest as I do - probably not everything, because there has to be room to grow together, the adventure of trying new things, someone who just likes to be and do what's in the moment, not everything has to be planned. Then we will just have to see from there. Who knows… Maybe we'll be like chocolate and peanut butter; two seemingly different people that might just be perfect together.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports

I exercise 3-4 times per week.

The Beach! There are many others, but basically, just like going anywhere fun, and trying out new places.
Movies, Reading, Cooking, Sports (baseball, basketball and football). For a few things... I am always up for new adventures and trying new things.
Hanging out on the back porch with friends cooking out and having a drink or two, attending sporting events, going to the movies, walking on a beach, playing sports ... much more.

Joe Budden and Young Chris' party isn't shutting down anytime soon. With that being said, here's their new party soundtrack courtesy of Flex. Hands on ya knees, hands on ya knees. UPDATE: No tags.
Tag: joe budden
2 out of 4 ain't half bad at all. Just a week after taking over the Highline Ballroom, one half of the Slaughterhouse performed last night at S.O.B.'s and here's a recap provided by DJ Zeke. Sidebar: Joe Budden Cans Featured Presentation
You might have caught this one on the Tapemasters Inc and DJ Suss One's mixtape, but Lowkey lets go the untagged version. These bars aren't closing anytime soon.
On the eve of their return to Highline Ballroom, Royce, Joe Budden, Crooked I and Joell Ortiz swung by Hot 97 for their very first freestyle session with
Consisting of Joe Budden and Emanny, the duo are back and slow things down with their new recording. This may be the craziest group name of all time.
Joey cleaned up nice this morning on ESPN's popular morning sports show. After speaking on the Denver Broncos' sensation Tim Tebow, he plugged the Slaughterhouse album which should be arriving next April. In the meantime, be sure to catch Mouse and the crew next Tuesday at the Highline Ballroom. Buy tickets here.
Hate it or love it, Mouse Budden grabs his go-to producer The Klasix and hook-guy Emanny for another love tale. Nothing wrong with a lil thug passion.

Have any of you told your boss or co-workers that you are pregnant yet? My belly seems to be growing at rapid rate, although I have lost 3 pounds. I am 8w4d and I am not sure I am going to be able to keep it in much longer due to my obvious bump. I am nervous about telling my boss that I am pregnant but also since we found out we are having twins it does not make financial sense to continue working once the babies arrive. I know that the first question she will ask is if I plan on continuing working once they arrive. I would like to work as long as I can up til the due date. Any advice or similar situations?
Telling my boss?
Comments (4)
The good news is I don't think legally they can let you go because you're pregnant. And you are protected by the FMLA if you decide to continue working post partum. Brush up on your rights before you break the news, so if your boss takes the "hard" road you know what legal ground you have to stand on.
Twin girls Madelyn and Evelyn born 12/21/10 8wks3d early
Britt & Rick together since 2010
I hope they don't ask if I'm going to continue to work, bc I'm most likely not going to...my husband is working out some negotiations for a new job and it wouldn't be wise for me to leave just yet...
Yes, you are legally protected by FMLA. And I told my boss early on just because I had IVF and needed her support for my numerous appointments. I actually just told my employees about the news on Friday when I was 10w. If your boss asks what you anticipate doing once you deliver, I would leave it alone and say there is no way to determine that at this point, but that you hope to return at the right time. Good luck! :)

Deep Pain and Deep Beauty
Deep pain and deep beauty oscillate throughout Sagawa's work, often triggered in the same image. "Insects pierce green through the orchard," she writes in "Like a Cloud." "The sky has countless scars. The skin of the earth emerges there, burning like a cloud."
For the New Yorker, Adrienne Raphel details the renewed interest in Sagawa Chika, one of the most unique yet seldom-read poets in early-20th-century Japan, and her influence on modernist aesthetics of Japanese poetry....more

Poor Zoro.. by Cat-taleWatch
©2010-2016 Cat-tale
Another pic of zoro...Man, how many times has luffy done something like this in One Piece?
*sighs* God dammit Luffy, YOUR OTHER LEFT!
How on earth did Luffy even do that? Honestly.
But poor Zoro. He's my fav, but always the victim. But he's cool anyway
But poor Zoro. He's my fav, but always the victim. But he's cool anyway
You know that guy must be strong when he's constantly taking unintentional hits from his captain... I sympathize with Zoro... BUT STILL LAUGH!!
Ha ha ha ha!!! Zoro can't get a break can he?
ummm well lets see.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 uhmm...... 99999999999......times if not,more!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 uhmm...... 99999999999......times if not,more!
I don't really think Zoro has the whole FML mindset unless Luffy is really screwing up, and more often than not it's Zoro who ends up saving Luffy's rubber arse. Kuma on Thriller Bark anyone?
And it always seems to be Zoro that Luffy takes out, isn't it? xD
Too funnyy!
Too funnyy!
Being a Strawhat member... you just have to bear with it...
epic moment XDD
XD Doesn't help the fact that Zoro pretty much hates his life.

Last week I was wandering downtown, tragically cameraless, when I encountered the UW chapter of United Students Against Sweatshops chanting outside Macy's, protesting the store's purchase of clothes created by non-unionized Guatemalans. "I remember those days," I thought to myself with a hint of wistfulness. Apparently it was a prelude to a more dramatic display in trash bags this weekend.
I moved to Seattle as a starry-eyed Seattle Pacific University freshman in the fall of 1999. So my induction to passionate and well-meaning - if uninformed - activism was the World Trade Organization rioting. What I mostly remember was swooning over the upperclassmen organizers, with their shaggy hair and damn-the-man attitudes.
Don't get me wrong, the use of underpaid and abused, often minor, laborers to get designer clothes on the cheap gives me the heebie jeebies. But international labor and trade tends to be a little more complicated than these students quite realize. Still, there's something to be said for passionate idealism.

Johnson & Johnson Launches Be Vital Challenge To Reward College Student Organizations Making A Difference In Their Communities
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is launching a challenge to reward college student organizations for their effort in taking care of the world we share. Johnson & Johnson is proud to present the Be Vital Challenge for student organizations that are "vital" to their communities, the environment, or society. Vital student groups are a part of something bigger than themselves yet at the same time are valued for who they are and for all the things they can contribute. Being vital also encompasses groups who are empowered to drive their own impact and to make a unique personal mark among colleagues who share the same passion of caring. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120918/NY76621 )At J&J, employees possess that same dedication to caring -- for customers and patients, for each other, and for communities around the world. Because these values are something that Johnson & Johnson's employees emulate in the work they do every day, the company will award a total of $30,000 to four university-sanctioned student groups that are making a mark in the community. All organizations are invited to enter -- from student-run philanthropic organizations and tutoring programs to recycling efforts and community service organizations. To enter, students can submit a video of two minutes or less, showcasing their organization's vital role in the community. The video contest opened this week and will accept entries until Oct. 8. All submitted videos will be placed on the contest website for voting. Students are encouraged to invite their friends to vote until Oct. 15 at midnight. The 10 videos with the most votes will be judged by a group of panelists to select the winners. First place is $10,000 for the winning organization, with a second place of $5000. A first and second prize will be awarded to both a graduate and an undergraduate organization for a total of four awards. For individuals making a difference, the Be Vital Twitter sweepstakes will award $100 in Amazon gift cards to 10 students. To enter, students can follow @JNJUniversity and answer the question: "How do you define being vital in your life, for your community, or in our world?" Students should use the hashtag #BeVital and include the @JNJUniversity handle in their tweet. Each Friday, between Aug. 27 and Nov. 2, Johnson & Johnson will select one tweeter at random to receive a $100 gift card to Amazon.com. Winners will be announced on the @JNJUniversity Twitter page on Sunday evenings (U.S. Eastern Time). For more information visit www.bevitalchallenge.com today or follow @JNJUniversity on Twitter.

With the new pot laws come questions about the ramifications of legalized pot.
The state of Colorado has launched a new website to help address some of these questions.
Questions those behind the website hope to answer include:
· What are the long-term health impacts of marijuana use?
· Is marijuana more harmful to adolescents than adults?
· Is it legal to consume marijuana in public places?
· Can a person be charged for driving under the influence of marijuana?
· Is it safe to eat or drink marijuana-infused products?
· How do I talk to my child about marijuana?
Topics on the website will range from long-term health impacts, to safe use of marijuana, to driving while impaired.
According to a release from the state public health department, the website features "current, research-based information and resources from the Colorado departments of Transportation, Education, Revenue, Human Services, and Public Health and Environment."

I am trying to successfully build u-boot for my BeagleBoard C5 board. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and the Crosstool-NG toolchain. I have working images for Xloader (MLO), u-boot.bin, and uImage that I found prebuilt from the AngstromBB project for which the boards boots Angstrom successfully.
I can successfully build the u-boot.bin file by doing the following:
git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git u-boot/
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- omap3_beagle_config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
I then copy my just built u-boot.bin to replace the working version of u-boot.bin on the SD card and attempt to boot the board but it fails by hanging at:
Reading boot sector
Loading u-boot.bin from mmc
It will just sit there forever! I cannot seem to find any clear instructions on building u-boot for the C5 BeagleBoard other than that it is different then previous versions or requiring something called 'SPL' built with u-boot. Does anybody know how I might succeed in building my own u-boot.bin image for the BeagleBoard C5?
