text: University of Michigan Wolverines headed to the Final Four By Steve Carmody • Mar 31, 2013 MGOBLUE.COM There will be one Michigan team playing in the Final Four in next weekend's NCAA's men's basketball tournament. The Michigan Wolverines jumped to a double digit lead early in their Elite Eight game against the Florida Gators on Sunday. And they never relinquished their lead. The final score was 79 to 59. Michigan is the only Big Ten team to reach the Final Four. Michigan State and Ohio State both lost tournament games over the weekend. U of M will play the Syracuse Orangemen in one of next Saturday's national semi-finals in Atlanta. Commentary: Race and admissions By Jack Lessenberry • Mar 26, 2013 Listen Listening... / 2:59 Lessenberry commentary for 3/26/13 Twenty years or so ago, I got up the nerve to ask the late Coleman Young, the controversial and acid-tongued mayor of Detroit, why affirmative action was necessary. Nobody ever thought of Mayor Young as shy, retiring or diplomatic, and I was fully prepared for a caustic and profane reply. But he instead grew almost philosophical. He mentioned a case where white students were complaining that affirmative action in college admissions gave an unfair advantage to lesser qualified students of color. Maps show U-M sweeping up MSU in Facebook madness By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Mar 21, 2013 Facebook March Madness tips off for Michigan and Michigan State on Thursday at the Palace of Auburn Hills, but for fans of the two schools, the madness has already started online. Earlier this week, Facebook unveiled a set of maps showing the most-liked college basketball team in every county across the United States. The map is based on more than 1 million Facebook likes. And while U-M and MSU were pretty evenly matched on the court this year — the teams split two meetings during the regular season — Wolverine fans are delivering a butt-kicking on Facebook. Only seven counties in the whole state support the Spartans over the Wolverines, according to a map comparing the two schools directly. Nationally, wide swatches of the country are painted maize, showing support for Michigan, with only a few patches of green. Gov. Snyder weighs in on legislation aimed at punishing universities By Mark Brush • Mar 20, 2013 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Yesterday, Republicans on a Michigan House Appropriations subcommittee voted to punish universities they believe are trying to avoid the state's new right-to-work law. The state's new right-to-work law goes into effect on March 28. It outlaws contract agreements with unions that require dues or fees as a condition of employment. But some public schools and universities are working out new contracts ahead of the deadline. Wayne State University and the University of Michigan recently struck contracts with their unions causing some legislators to cry foul. The subcommittee voted to strip public universities of 15 percent of their funding if recently passed contracts or contract extensions did not achieve at least a 10 percent savings. At this point, it's just a subcommittee vote. To go into effect, the bill would have to pass both the state House and Senate and then be signed by Governor Rick Snyder. MLive's Jonathan Oosting wrote about Gov. Snyder's thoughts on the bill: "It's early in the legislative process," Snyder said Tuesday evening when asked about a proposed higher education budget bill that could cost his alma mater, the University of Michigan, millions in state funding next fiscal year. "What I would say is, if people are coming in and bargaining in good faith and showing real benefits, I don't believe people should be penalized. Now, the real issue would be if somebody were doing that with no substance to simply extend the date, then I could see legislators having a concern. So it's just something to watch in the legislative process." If it's passed, the universities stand to lose a lot of money: The University of Michigan...could reportedly lose up to $41.1 million in state funding... [and Wayne State University] could lose up to $27.5 million of a possible $184 million in state funding next year under the proposed budget bill. Commentary: Punishing the students By Jack Lessenberry • Mar 20, 2013 Listen Listening... / 3:00 Lessenberry commentary for 3/20/13 Today I am going to talk about something in which I could be accused of having a conflict of interest. Normally, we try not to do that, and if it were only something affecting me, I wouldn't. But the people really being threatened here are thousands of young people in Michigan, and the state's future. I am talking about a vote yesterday in a state house of representatives subcommittee designed to punish schools and universities who agree to contracts with their faculty and staff that lawmakers don't like for ideological reasons. This has to do with the anti-union, right to work legislation that was rammed through a lame-duck session of the legislature last December. This bill doesn't take effect until eight days from how, so technically Michigan is not a right to work state yet. House subcommittee votes to punish public universities for new contracts By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Mar 19, 2013 On a 4-3 party-line vote, a Michigan House Appropriations subcommittee voted to punish universities the Republicans believe are trying to avoid the state's new right-to-work law. That law goes into effect on March 28th. Wayne State University and the University of Michigan have struck contracts with their unions ahead of that deadline. Public universities that signed new contracts or contract extensions that did not achieve at least a 10 percent savings would face a 15 percent cut in state funding under a budget bill approved this morning. U-M students rally for in-state tuition for undocumented residents By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Mar 19, 2013 Kirsten Kortebein / Michigan Radio A small number of University of Michigan students and administrators have been meeting for months to examine the feasibility of offering undocumented students from Michigan in-state tuition. Undocumented students pay international rates to attend U-M and they aren't eligible for federal financial aid. For about the past year and a half, the Coalition for Tuition Equality has advocated to change the policy. The student group has run an aggressive campaign; among other things, they've held rallies on the Diag at the center of the Ann Arbor campus, staged sit-ins at meetings of the university's board of regents. Let's take a roadtrip to Mars By Stateside Staff • Mar 18, 2013 NASA / wiki commons Listen Listening... / 6:48 What would it take to get humans to Mars? For the last seven months, NASA's rover 'Curiosity' has crawled all over the planet's dusty red Gale Crater.

Solving the problem of 'food insecurity' By Stateside Staff • Feb 27, 2013 http://www.snre.umich.edu Listen Listening... / 11:26 The challenge of food insecurity is a fact of life for some 50 million Americans. Researchers at the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment are taking part in a major study to probe the causes and solutions to food insecurity in Michigan. In short, their research will look into how to link up the people who are not getting enough fresh healthy food, to the producers and the sources of that safe healthy food. University of Michigan Professor Dorceta Taylor is one of the lead investigators. She is a professor of Environmental Justice at the School of Natural Resources and Environment and she was kind enough to tell us about the issue of food security.

UM study links lower MEAP scores with lead exposure By Michigan Radio Newsroom & Sarah Cwiek • Feb 25, 2013 Mercedes Mejia / Michigan Radio A study by researchers at the University of Michigan links lead exposure in children to lower achievement on standardized tests. It's published in the March issue of the American Journal of Public Health. Click here to read the study. From the study: Detroit has an extensive lead poisoning problem. Although only 20% of Michigan's children younger than 5 years lived in Detroit in 2010, childhood lead poisoning in Detroit has consistently accounted for more than 50 percent of the state's total lead burden. Detroit Free Press reporter Keith Matheny's article explores the research further and the schools affected. The greater the lead poisoning in a Detroit Public Schools student's blood, the higher the likelihood he or she will do poorly on achievement tests -- even after accounting for contributing factors such as poverty. That's the finding of a collaborative study that provides one of the most detailed assessments yet of the impact of lead poisoning on students' learning ability.

To hear the complete segment, click the audio above. Almost everyone who goes online and searches for some bit of information knows about Wikipedia. For a lot of us it is a great way to answer trivia questions, or settle those friendly arguments among friends over any topic. But this free encyclopedia that anyone can edit has not been widely accepted in the world of academia. Largely because it is a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. In recent years, Wikipedia has gained a new respectability in the world of academia and cultural institutions. Why is this, and what might it mean in bringing the treasures of those cultural institutions to a wider audience? We sat down with Professor Cliff Lampe from the School of Information at the University of Michigan and Michael Barerra, who became one of the first "Wikipedians" in residence at the Gerald R. Ford Library. They told us what this means for the way we gather information in the digital age.

To hear the complete segment, click the audio above. When you hear about unmanned aircraft your first thought might be "drones." There is plenty of debate about using unmanned aircraft for spying and lethal attacks, but there are other uses for unmanned aircraft, and that's what we are going to take a look at right now. The University of Michigan is teaming up with the Michigan Unmanned Aerial System Center Project in Alpena, Michigan. The Michigan Economic Development recently pledged a half million dollars to the research test site and fly zone for unmanned aircraft systems.

Stateside: Solving the data needs of non-profit groups By Stateside Staff • Feb 7, 2013 a2datadive.org / A2DataDive Listen Listening... / 5:21 The following is a summary of a previously recorded interview. To hear the complete segment, click the audio above. When it comes to data and knowing just what to do with it, it seems there are two camps in this world. Those who can plunge into mining, parsing, analyzing and figuring out how to really use data, and those who are fairly clueless when it comes to crunching data. Luckily for some non-profit groups in the Ann Arbor/ Detroit area, those types aren't just smart, they are nice, and willing to help. Thanks to some hard-working grad students at the U-M School of Information. The A2 Data Dive is coming up this weekend on the Central Campus of the University of Michigan. Co-founders, Claire Barco and Nikki Roda tell us more about the A2 Data Dive. UM professor says "no shame" for children with disorder of sex development By Kyle Norris • Feb 3, 2013 Flickr user Amy the Nurse It's not uncommon for newborn babies to have an unclear gender. About one in 300 infants have a disorder of sex development (or DSD). That means babies have atypical sex chromosomes, atypical gonads, or atypical genitals. For some parents, the experience can be overwhelming and in the past, shame and secrecy have been associated with the disorder. Stateside: University of Michigan honors Raoul Wallenberg in new exhibition By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jan 30, 2013 wikimedia commons Listen Listening... / 18:10 Ingrid Carlberg spoke with Cyndy about Wallenberg's history. The following is a summary of a previously recorded interview. To hear the complete segment, click the audio above. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish humanitarian credited with saving tens of thousands of Jews during World War II.

Ingrid Carlberg will be among the presenters at the exhibition. Carlberg is the author of "There is a room waiting for you here." Today Carlberg spoke with Cyndy about Wallenberg's history. "It was some kind of a coincidence. He was a businessman; he was importing groceries from Hungary. When the Germans marched into Hungary in the spring of 1944, Raoul Wallenberg was alarmed by what was going on. But actually the initiative to go to Budapest and lead a rescue mission came from the American government," said Carlberg.

University of Michigan making medical progress with very delicate cut By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Dec 30, 2012 The University of Michigan is researching an ultrasound scalpel that can detach a single cancer cell from surrounding tissue. The team found a way to change laser light into sound energy with a beam smaller than a human hair. The beam blasts and cuts with pressure, rather than heat. It may make nearly painless surgery possible since the beam is small enough to avoid nerve fibers. Hyoung Won Baac worked on the project as a doctoral student. He says it may allow a surgeon to be extremely delicate. UM's futuristic printers can print out 3D objects By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Dec 27, 2012 UM3DLab / YouTube.com Some printers at the University of Michigan can make unusual prints. Machines in the University's 3D Lab can produce three-dimensional sculptures, car parts and even model human body parts. A student or faculty member can design a model, take it to the U-of-M's 3-D lab and leave hours later with their object in hand. Here's how it works:A student or faculty member designs a model on a computer. Technicians send the design to the refrigerator-sized machine, then a mechanical arm applies layers of material in cross-sections that slowly build up the model.The machines layer plaster or heated plastic models as large as basketballs. University of Michigan researching ultrasonic scalpel By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Dec 20, 2012 Hyoung Won Baac / University of Michigan The University of Michigan is researching an ultrasound scalpel that can detach a single cancer cell from surrounding tissue. The team, led by Professor Jay Guo, found a way to change laser light into sound energy. The technology works with pressure, rather than heat. Hyoung Won Baac worked on this project as a doctoral student. He says the beam will allow surgeons to be extremely delicate because of its size. "Our hair is a single hair which is around 100 micrometer. So our focal spot, the sound beam focus spot is actually smaller than that." Big money pushing kids out of the Big House By John U. Bacon • Dec 14, 2012 user AndrewHorne / Wikimedia Listen Listening... / 4:20 John U. Bacon remembers the days of two dollar tickets at the Big House. A 'seat license' is a fee fans pay just to reserve the right to buy the tickets. They call it a donation, even though every single one of us apparently decided to donate the exact same amount, or lose our tickets. But that allows us to call it a tax deduction. It's hard to call that honest, or cheap. In fairness, Michigan was the last of the top 20 programs to adopt a seat license program, in 2005. It started gradually, and left endzone fans alone. But this week, Michigan pushed the seat license for the best tickets up to $600, and even people in the endzone will have to cough up $150 per ticket, just for the right to buy them. In the past decade, the total cost of my two tickets on the ten-yard line has more than tripled, to over $1,700, which makes you wonder just how we got here.

An ECU organization that serves those in need says it now needs your help.
ECU's Campus Kitchen is competing in a national fundraiser known as Raise the Dough. The university is competing against 18 others. They only have one week left to reach their goal.
The Campus Kitchen takes food that would be wasted and donates it every week to the Little Willie Center, Operation Sunshine, the Ronald McDonald House and the Joy Soup Kitchen.
ECU Campus Kitchen Manager Anna Cooper says ECU donates about 175 meals each week.
Cooper says, "I really get a sense of satisfaction here. When you look at the kids and see how happy they are and see that they actually have a meal to eat, that's beautiful."
That's why Cooper feels the Raise the Dough fundraiser is so important. Cooper says it would help ECU raise money, but also awareness of hunger issues.
Campus Kitchen Coordinator Teresa Dantzler says they need the money to buy pantry supplies and also food.
Dantzler says, "We also could just use the money to implement new programming, such as nutrition programming."
While ECU's goal is to raise $500, they are also competing with 18 other universities for a top prize of $1,000. The winner is based on who raises the most money overall.

The popularity of the shooter genre is to blame for Resident Evil and Silent Hill's downhill. Because of it, ZombiU, a AAA survival horror title that everyone has been waiting for, has been bashed by U.S. critics for not being action-based.

That being said, they announced that the formerly 3DS exclusive Resident Evil: Revelations, will be released to consoles late this year. And that's a
move on Capcom's part. I haven't played it, but I heard it returns to being RE4esque and has some legitimate scares. Maybe they'll catch their fire with it's release, who knows.
That's where you're wrong. I've seen a lot of people online, mostly on My Nintendo News, complaining about Revelations no longer becoming a 3DS exclusive, because it shows Capcom is really lazy.

Well, I'm with you on the butter. I'll use that before margarine every time.
Still can't do the switch though (butter for Crisco) in my opinion. (I'm sure folks do though ). It's the texture thing.

Sergeant Hartman leads the men in Happy Birthday to Jesus for Xmas.
Stanley Kubrick was devoted to images, telling his stories as visually as possible. His images have an arresting power that few if any other directors can match.
Edited by Brutzelpretzel (he's my husband). I just suggested the song: "Can't take my eyes off you", in this case performed by Manic Street Preachers and also by Muse.
We decided not to include the "found footage" genre, cause almost everyone looks at the camera in this type of films (Cloverfield, for example). And also musical numbers, where it's very common that the actors look at the camera while singing.

25 Great Scenes in Film that actually were not scripted, but rather, improvised. Please keep the captions on, as I will explain the improvisation.
Crowd-sourced movie mash-up, which Oliver has titled The Movie Geeks Guide to Talking Dirty. We realize its not the polio vaccine, but it is a pretty comprehensive cut of cinematic nasty sex talk and post-coitus whisperings (and by nasty I mean NSFW for language and lots of humping, but no actual nudity). Its more compelling than it by all rights should be. Whats your favorite? Pooping back and forth forever? Marlon Brando demanding a finger up his butt?"

Hey ^^ you rp?
I don't see any girl
i like this one i wish that was me
That must suck.
that would be cool to be a digimon or pokemon for that matter.
But wouldn't that be painfull? getting tails and shit like that?
yes it would. still be worth it.
True that.Actually anything to me is worth it,and the pain would only last a little while and then you get to enjoy the rest!
Finally! someone understands! 17 years of being the same old, same old get rather tedious. I think it would be great to experience something new!
Wow... ok then.
what?my existance is currently boring and it would give me an excuse to get out of A level exams.
bro listen to disturbed
WTF does that mean?
why does reality have to be so bland?
That's one fabulous transformation frame sequence.
im a bit disapointed not to see boobs...i tough tats since its a TG there would be some female hint because it look like a TF more than a TG
It looks so cool!!!
another revealing their true form... a female digimon.
Yes ! Guilmon looks soo AWESOME ! I love the dragonic legs ! .3 Nice work ^^

Poor Guilmon, Ever since he came on the scene hes started getting so many clones and doppelgängers, hes not even one of a kind anymore. Well, at least he has this cute female version of himself to ogle over. Wait.. if hes ogling a female version of himself, what exactly does that mean?
I prefer not to think about it.

This patch enables to change sizes of thumbnails in file browser.
Sorry, one file was not consistent in newlines, causing svn to abort patch creation.
Should work now! (patch 3)
Sounds really useful - often the thumbnails are too small to find the one you are looking for. +1 for this one from me, if it's not slowing down the file browser.
I really like this! I too find the thumbnails to be too small. The keybinding seems nice too, but it does clash with the default for zooming interfaces, which is ctrl-mmb-drag.
I haven't been able to check out the patch yet but definitely a +1 on the the feature from me.
Let me claim that @Andrea Weikert (elubie), I think this is a candidate for 2.74. @Alexander Kuznetsov (alexk), will you be available to update the patch for latest master and during review?
@Alexander Kuznetsov (alexk), could you upload the patch to the Differential tool? Would like to review this week and Differential is quite useful for that ;)
I've not tried the patch, but was just pointed at it by severin after I requested this very feature. Does ctrl+mmb work as well? Also - bindable options in keybinds I assume?
As in The future one better fix for this is adding a right click option or something of the sort to open in the image viewer for images and blender player for animations but of coarse that takes a bit more code :)
And how is this with the caching of images, does it cache each new size or does it scale the cached image. If it does not use a cached image i can see this being a memory issue. This would probably make the above future option a better long term solution.
Initial code review:
- Currently it makes all thumbnails large and scales them down. (the thumbnail size should be linked with the actual display size)
- Currently it uses an operator to change thumbnail size, it should really be able to use an RNA attribute and a notifier to cause the file-selector to update.
A different patch with similar functionality was committed (rB054aa61f3c9af0) so closing this. But thanks a lot for the patch nevertheless.

Newspaper article THE JOURNAL RECORD
Supreme Court to Hear Workers Compensation Case
Article excerpt
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to decide whether state workers compensation system insurers may be sued when they withhold or cut off health-care benefits for work-related injuries while determining whether the treatment is reasonable and necessary.
The justices will have to determine in a Pennsylvania case whether the private companies that serve as insurers violate employees' due- process rights when they deny benefits without a prior hearing.
In other business-related action Tuesday, the court agreed to:
* Use a case involving the California Dental Association to clarify when such organizations' limits on the advertising engaged in by their members unlawfully harm competition.
The justices said they will hear the dental association's effort to revive limits on what dentists' ads can say about prices and quality of service. The Federal Trade Commission decided that the rules had the effect of barring even truthful advertising.
* Decide whether two of the nation's largest pension funds may sue Archer Daniels Midland for illegal acts that lowered the value of stock the funds own in the agribusiness giant.
The justices said they will use the ADM price-fixing dispute to resolve an important if procedural point on the right of shareholders to challenge settlements of court cases they never formally joined.
* Referee a dispute between the government and Haggar Clothing over import fees on pants assembled and given wrinkle-free treatment in Mexico. …


text: so i'm making a trip down there and was wondering if anyone know where i can track frames or other track parts in this country. Since it's so close to japan, thought they might have good decent stuff for cheap. any info is greatly appreciated. thanks and merry christmas/ happy holidays to all.

Artists to retrace the Joads' journey to mark 75th anniversary of The Grapes of Wrath" starting Friday in Sallisaw and Oklahoma City
A version of this story appears in the Sunday Life section of The Oklahoman.
Artists to retrace the Joads' journey to mark 75th anniversary of 'The Grapes of Wrath'
The trek on Route 66 begins in Sallisaw Friday and continues along Route 66 through Oklahoma City; Amarillo, Texas; Albuquerque, N.M.; Flagstaff, Ariz.; and Bakersfield, Calif., with various workshops, panels and events along the way.
"Muscles aching to work, minds aching to create beyond the single need – this is man."
— John Steinbeck, "The Grapes of Wrath"
Octavio Solis considers Tom Joad "our American Everyman."
And the renowned playwright is looking forward to retracing the journey the fictional hero of "The Grapes of Wrath" took in John Steinbeck's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.
"We're not going to experience any of the pangs of hunger or pain that the Joad family or any of the real true migrants that left Oklahoma for California underwent," Solis said. "But I think we want to get a sense of the American character today by going on this trip and seeing people of all walks of life on this journey."
The San Francisco writer/director, along with filmmaker P.J. Palmer and visual artist Patricia Wakida, will fly from California to Oklahoma City Thursday and then drive to Sallisaw to begin their 10-day trek to Bakersfield, Calif. Sojourning in a rented RV instead of an old Hudson truck, the artists and a film crew will travel along Route 66 through Oklahoma City; Amarillo, Texas; Albuquerque, N.M.; and Flagstaff, Ariz., participating in various workshops, panels and events along the way.
The journey leads up to the National Steinbeck Center's "Grapes of Wrath" 75th anniversary celebration next year. The artists will use their experiences to create new commissioned works to be presented at the 2014 Steinbeck Festival May 2-4 at the center, located in the late author's hometown of Salinas, Calif.
An El Paso, Texas, native, Solis, 55, said he is eager to begin the trip in Oklahoma, where people still have mixed feelings about how Steinbeck's book and Tom Ford's Oscar-winning 1940 film version depicted the Sooner State and its people during the Dust Bowl and Great Depression.
"Every day is packed and over those 10 days we drive to Bakersfield with numerous little pit stops. It'll take about as long as the Joad family did. I think in their little jalopy they made even more stops," he said with a laugh. "It feels like an epic journey … and in those days, especially with a car laden the way it was, it was moving something like 30 miles per hour, and there wasn't even freeway either."
"I think we get to experience a little bit of what they did in terms of seeing the country … that none of them had ever seen before and feeling like strangers in their own land. I think we're gonna be feeling a little bit like fish out of water and I think that's intentional. I think it's OK to feel that but also to come, like the Joad family, with humility to those places and then get the people's stories, get their impression of what the novel has meant to them," he added.
Starting in Sallisaw
"How can we live without our lives? How will we know it's us without our past?"
— John Steinbeck, "The Grapes of Wrath"
The journey will start Friday with a luncheon featuring a 1930s farm menu and photo display at the Stanley Tubbs Memorial Library in Sallisaw, where the fictional Joads lived and worked as tenant farmers at the outset of Steinbeck's National Book Award winner. The event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required.
Branch manager Bethia Owens said she leads seasonal twice-monthly luncheons focusing on Oklahoma books, and the discussions typically attract retirees who have fascinating stories to share.
"Sallisaw was never a Dust Bowl. Sequoyah County suffered the Depression and they had two floods (in the late 1920s and '30s) that wiped out the crops. They had all those kinds of things happening, but it wasn't a lack of water," Owens said. "He didn't get that part right, but how hard people worked to survive and how families worked together, that's all part of the book. And I think that's still true for lots of people today."
Representatives from Oklahoma Oral History Research Program at Oklahoma State University will conduct group interviews about the book at Friday's event.
"Any number of things went on in 'Grapes of Wrath' that we still have all those same issues today," Owens said. "Unemployment was very high during that time period when he wrote the novel. The climate affected it. The government affected it. The bank foreclosures. … It's about how to survive hard times."
Collecting oral histories
"Up ahead they's a thousan' lives we might live, but when it comes it'll on'y be one."
— John Steinbeck, "The Grapes of Wrath"
The trek continues at 7 p.m. Friday at the Oklahoma History Center, where Bob Blackburn, executive director of the Oklahoma Historical Society; Bob Santelli, executive director of the Grammy Museum; Oklahoma historian and author Michael Wallis; and Steinbeck scholar Susan Schillinglaw will participate in a panel discussion called "Steinbeck and Oklahoma: 75 Years." The event and the first-floor exhibits will be free and open to the public, said Larry O'Dell, the Oklahoma Historical Society's director of special projects/development.
On Saturday, the Horseless Carriage Club of America will have a free show of 1930s era cars from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the history center parking lot. A free afternoon workshop that is also open to the public will offer tips on how to collect oral histories from their parents, grandparents and other relatives.
The traveling artists will do oral history interviews about what it means to be an Okie with notable Sooner State denizens as well as everyday Oklahomans who lived through the Great Depression, O'Dell said.
"There's a few generations … that hate Steinbeck and hate the word Okie, and it's kind of come full swing where it's kind of cool to be an Okie. I think it's an interesting dynamic, and Steinbeck's the one that put it out to the world," O'Dell said.
Lasting impressions
"Man, unlike any other thing organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, and emerges ahead of his accomplishments."
— John Steinbeck, "The Grapes of Wrath"
Oklahomans' reactions to "The Grapes of Wrath" vary depending on whether they've actually read the book or just seen Ford's visually dramatic movie, Blackburn said. In addition, older residents are more likely to view Steinbeck's depiction of Okies and Oklahoma in a negative light.
"The Greatest Generation still sees red, and … the Baby Boomers, we're from that '50s subculture. And the Joads are rebels, they are survivors, they are getting back to basics, organic. To us, they are the heroes. To the Greatest Generation who lived through those times of the '30s and '40s, it's an embarrassment," Blackburn said.
"John Steinbeck was a genius. We all know that. He created a great piece of art; too many people look at it as history."
A prominent Mexican-American playwright, Stolis sees striking parallels between plight of Steinbeck's Joad family and the challenges his parents and millions of other Latino immigrants face today.
"I'm kind of intrigued about it because I didn't know … that there are still ill feelings toward it because to me growing up where I was it felt like he was trying to make a statement about the human condition based on something that was very real and historic and was happening at the time," said Solis, adding the group also will tour Clinton's Route 66 Museum Saturday before crossing into Texas.
"I think there's some very, very strong veins of truth that he was mining."

May 22, 2009, Fargo, ND—Most people know how important it is to take a multi vitamin everyday. Even while using the best diet recommendations it is hard to achieve optimal amounts of essential vitamins and minerals. With so many multis to choose from how do you know which one is best?
That's why Swanson Vitamins developed Vital Multi for Men and Vital Multi for Women. These high quality supplements are loaded with cultured food-form nutrients, fresh fruits and veggies and organic herbal extracts. The multis are cultured in a soy agent with probiotic bacteria. The process begins with a base of organic soy and nutritional yeast. Individual nutrients are added along with active cultures of probiotic microorganisms. When all these elements come together in active fermentation a biotransformation takes place. Each nutrient is woven into a newly created biological matrix similar in structure to whole foods.
Swanson Ultra Vital Multi for Men contains a special blend of organic herbs that addresses the unique needs of the male body. The four main ingredients include Eleuthero root, Maca root, Hawthorn leaves and flowers and Saw Palmetto. Eleuthero root helps to combat stress, promote physical and mental energy and help the body adapt to whatever comes your way. Maca root helps support circulation and stimulates the libido. Hawthorn leaves and flowers are added to promote healthy blood flow and saw palmetto nourishes and supports prostate health, a number one health concern in men over 35. All of this combines with whole food nourishment and 22 nutrients to create the most complete food-based multi Swanson Vitamins has ever developed.
Swanson Ultra Vital Multi for Women is formulated with gentle yet effective herbs known to support the female body.

I love Indie books, their prices are great and most of the time the stories are better😀 I also find it easier to get to know and Indie author then it is with other authors. They must have a greater sense of pride also doing it on their own.
Great interview and thank you for the lovely giveaway.
I love reading Indie novels. The authors do an exceptional job of making the genre stand out from the others and I've never been disappointed with one.
I have a really funny story about "Indie Books." I started reviewing books for the first time back in December of 2010. My friend had asked me to join her Blog and review books for her, which I excitedly accepted. I love reading books, so why not? A couple of months ago, I received an email from an "indie" author asking me to review her new book. I quickly e-mailed my friend, and asked her if we accepted books from India? She obviously had no idea what I was talking about, so I told her that an Indie author has e-mailed me asking me to review her book. Then She started laughing hysterically at me and I had no idea why. Needless to say, I now know why she laughed at me and I would have laughed at me too. And now I am proud to say that Indie Authors ROCK!! LOL
I really look forward to reading this book!!!
Indie Authors are so awesome… but aren't most authors start out Indie!? Well, anyways i like them because the continue to persue their dreams even though times can't get thick. And most of their stories are well worth a publish but I still highly respect them… all I can say is, keep doing what your doing, because I'll always be here to support!!! = (by reading that is)

Thank you!!
Seriously awesome post, thanks for the chance to win.
I have really enjoyed Indie Authors, if I hadn't of checked them out, I would have never read the most incredible stories, I also like how the indie authors tend to take more pride in their books, and are more willing to talk to the readers.
I think indie books are great and love that there are other ways for authors to get their stories out there rather than the traditional.
An old penpal of mine was self-published and she really opened my eyes to the fact that there's tons of talent out there, it doesn't matter how it's published. Indie authors are some of the most hard working folks in the business!
awesome giveaway, and the book sounds great
Indie Authors = Awesome!
Every book I've read by an indie author has been really amazing and so now my tbr pile is overflowing with new books. (how will I ever read them all :0 )
Thank You so much for this giveaway!
"How old are you?" I asked, my head cocked to one side.
"And how long have you been nineteen?"
He looked at me like I had a screw loose. "Since I haven"t been eighteen?"
"So, you've been on this planet for nineteen years?"
"That's usually what an age implies." – When I read this I couldn't stop laughing & smiling
Happy Reading😉
I think Indie books are great! I'm with Memrie….they are making my TBR list/pile grow by leaps and bounds!!!
This book sounds great! I love books you can't put down!
Wow, you sold this book very well. Now I want to read it to find out more about the characters. It sounds very interesting and I am curious how it ends.
I cannot wait to read this book. I have been hearing such wonderful things about it! I think Indie authors are very hardworking and i think that they have guts!! I have been on createspace and everytime I go in there I get rapid heart beat by all the numbers and margins and formatting issues. I think it is awesome how honest Heather is about it all (and funny!). It is an inspiration to all writers out there that they can take their writing into their own hands and put a great product out there!
Great post! I'm sorry to hear that print is a headache. And I love my print books though.
This sounds like a great read.
On to Indie authors… I love them! I've found many great authors this way. I enjoy reading something different than others and the mainstream of what the big publishers think everyone wants. They are always fun to read.
Thank you!
Oops, sorry Just filled out the form and realized I missed the cutoff date. Sorry.

CMJ Day One: Dominique Young Unique, DOM, Yo La Tengo
Amidst discussions of its relevancy and efficacy, assaults on its cool factor, and a bubbling undercurrent of general malaise over the pace and current of culture, CMJ 2010 kicked off yesterday in New York City. Some bajillion-odd bands are here, and some of those will be sustainably popular for many web years to come, and most will go home empty-handed. No reviewer or critic can or will claim they really "succeeded" here because no one quite knows what they're doing, save following their nose. So here we go.
After picking up the badge that will later save me at least 45 minutes in line, the Lower East Side is a no-brainer destination. With so many venues in such a small area it should be easy to find a show this early in the day, though I can't be said to know the specifics like where, what, or who. Ludlow is brimming at 3PM with artists, managers, bookers, nerdos, and beautiful people. Heading upstairs at Pianos I catch a bland band from Tennessee whose name escapes me (well that's not entirely true, they never mentioned it and it wasn't posted anywhere).
It's worth noting something about music festivals. The power of ratio reigns any time thousands of bands play within fifteen square miles of each other. I am, we are, strictured by the ratios; most of these bands suck and if you pick at random you will likely come up losing. This means a certain balance mechanic of buzz and research reigns, which in turn means that at least a few dozen truly good bands won't get seen by anyone and ho-hum on home.
Downstairs at Pianos a Brooklyn-based three-piece named Pearl & The Beard were just underway - theirs is a sort of lilting folk-pop and between the cello, acoustic guitar, brushed toms, and large harmonies they generated a sweet, wind-through-the-wheat set that was well put-together and just so, like a little plum.
Pearl And The Beard, "Vessel"
The MTV Showcase at Webster Hall at 6:30PM was sparse, peppered with tiny tiny babies looking no older than 19. There to meet a friend I arrived and I sat sipping a beer and braced myself. Firstly was Fake Problems, a band of young Floridian dreamboats whose music is as close to Modest Mouse as you can get without being good. "Tap tap your feet to your heartbeat." I left immediately.
Next was the completely flabbergasting Dominique Young Unique, also of Florida. Stepping onstage in a red corset (this will matter in a second) and huge sunglasses, Dominique beamed, giving everyone an oddly patronizing "thank you!" like when someone asks you to do something, launching into her shrill, rapid rap delivery. Her corset was at least one size too big for her and kept slipping throughout the show, holding her back in a big way. Flanked by two gearheads generating frenetic, aggressive club beats that left no breathing room for interpretation (much like her rhymes), Dominique is of a frenetic frontlady cloth that will no doubt appeal to the young and the restless. Overheard: "CMJ is so totally irrelevant."
Scheduled to play Tuesday night at the Brooklyn Bowl were Screaming Females (missed), DOM, and Yo La Tengo; a lineup that would no doubt generate a long line, and I was arriving late. Swallowed it up and moved to the back of the block-long queue, only to be pulled out ten minutes later and deposited directly inside (thanks, badge). Brooklyn Bowl was festooned with projection screens touting MOG, the event's sponsor and blog network turned fairly successful music subscription startup.
"Hail Satan!" DOM, a major label band of rather hairy plaid-clads, was onstage as I entered, blasting out what I took to be rather boring, if well executed, garage rock. But each song took on a different character, between that aforementioned rock and some reedy pop and video-game rock a la The Advantage, and when they ended a pleasant confusion set in.
DOM, "Bochicha"
Yo La Tengo meandered their way through a set they've been perfecting for over two decades, and it was as talented and lengthy as it was soporific. Having spent the previous three days seeing friends and running around like a madman, it was time for bed.

Yes, non-drive side pic. I read through the whole thread and never saw a pic of a CAADX so here is my CAADX 105. I swapped out the wheels for some of last years Ksyrium SLs. I don't care for the red accents of this years model and got them for 700. Swapped out the big ring for a 50 and put on an ultegra cassette in a 11-28. That sets me up pretty well for the hills I ride in which include some honest 20% climbs. Sometimes I'm looking for a gear I just don't have but I working on adding horsepower to the engine. Love the bike. Not sure what I'm giving up to the CAAD10 but maybe the weight of a filled water bottle. I'm pretty new to all this. I got the CAADX because many of my rides are on gravel/rocky roads where I live. If I take the bike in the car I can use the road wheels and tires. This is my first post. Hope it works. BTW the koolaid is sweeet.
Thanks. It's hard to tell from the pictures but the bike is brushed aluminum with a clear coat. I am in love with the silver and black look and it hides the caliche dust around here really well. Anybody else have one of these?
I was trying to completely blacken out my BBQ CAAD9, but I couldn't get away from having "some" silver on it so
I learned to embrace silver accents on the bike and I can't tell you how much I am in love with it's color scheme.
The final piece of the puzzle (the wheelset) was just perfect for the bike with black rims that have a silver face
and black boxes where the spoke attaches.
My next bike (hopefully, a Cannondale SuperSix EVO) will be blackety black-black-black!
hey guys, thought this would be a nice place to ask this since we have the same bikes. caad9 2010. please help!
basically turning the crank with chain off i can hear subtle crunchy noises...very subtle but thought it would be good to clean it out? do yall have tools or bring it to the LBS? if tools please tell me what tools yall use to remove/replace? wanted to save some money in the long run when i'll be doing this annually or sooner... i have between 1k - 2k miles on it too...please let me know. thank you guys/gals.
yeeha! lets go biking!
I hate The CAAD10! Damnit! It's so damn good that I feel like
I have to get it and I haven't even ridden one yet! LOL
Slide a papertowel folded in between the crank arm and BB to remove the excess.
See how that works out for you.
If you don't have some wet lube, get some. I lube my bike before every ride.
My personal favorite is Rock&Roll Gold.

Out thuging about on the CAAD9 for the first time today.
What a great bike.
What a great morning.
What a great ride
What a great Martini I have in front of me right now.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm Cannondales!
yeeha! lets go biking!
I test rode a CAAD 10 Dura-Ace today and fell in LOVE. Problem is that I'm looking for a bike I can ride cross country on (fully supported tour-- not schlepping anything with me).
For the CAAD owners... do you think the ride would be a bit much after 48 ~80 mile days? I also test rode a Ti frame today and while the ride was like butter, I felt much faster and awesome on the CAAD.
Another thing is that I can get the CAAD10 Dura Ace for $3200 and a Ti frame with the same build and weight would easily be 5-6k. Thoughts?
My fundraising page:
I joined the cult, my allez was destroyed in an accident and I picked up a used caad9. I'll try to get some good pictures of it soon.

Imagine the surprise of some Greenwood residents and neighborhood children when a hot air balloon made an impromptu landing on their street Sunday evening.
The balloon, marked with a large logos, came down Sunday evening on Sunset Boulevard, off of Fry Road, just west of U.S. 31, and behind the Park Greenwood Apartments.
The pilot was not able to make it to an open field to land the balloon and instead put it down in the street, Greenwood police said. Officers redirected traffic while the balloon was loaded into a truck.
It was unclear who was piloting the balloon, where it had come from or where it was heading.

GOP still struggles to find immigration strategy
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans can't figure out what to do about illegal immigration as the 2016 presidential campaign is starting to heat up and just three months before midterm elections.
After the GOP's 2012 presidential loss, it was the one problem the party declared it must resolve to win future presidential races.
Immigration managed to bedevil the party again last week when House Republicans struggled for a day over how to deal with recent border problems. House Republicans passed a face-saving bill late Friday night before leaving town for a break.
The fiasco proved anew that a small number of uncompromising conservatives have the power to hamper the efforts of GOP leaders to craft coherent positions on key issues — including one that nearly two-thirds of Americans say is an important to them personally, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released last week.
"It would be very bad for Republicans in the House not to offer their vision of how they would fix the problem," South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said when the initial House bill on immigration collapsed. While Republicans in the House are able to reject the proposals of Democrats, Graham said, that's not enough: "At least they have a vision."
While often a flashpoint issue among Republicans in their primaries this year, the party could get a grace period of sorts in November. Immigration appears likely to have only a modest impact on the roughly 10 Senate races that will determine control of the chamber. The possible exception is the race between Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and GOP Rep. Cory Gardner in Colorado, where Hispanic voters made up 14 percent of the electorate in 2012.
Even if President Barack Obama moves ahead with a proposal to give work permits to millions of immigrants living in the country illegally, removing the threat of deportation, Democratic strategists say Republicans won't reap much of a benefit. Republicans, they argue, have already squeezed as much as they can from voters angry at the president by hammering at his record on health care, the IRS, foreign policy and other issues.
"There's a ceiling, and nothing the president can do can get them above the ceiling," said Rep. Steve Israel of New York, head of the Democrats' efforts to win House elections. "But swing voters and persuadable voters, they want solutions."
Hispanics made up less than 3 percent of all registered voters in 2012 in seven other states with competitive Senate races: Louisiana, Arkansas, North Carolina, Iowa, Michigan, Georgia and Kentucky. So any Democratic benefits from an Obama executive action on immigration could be just as limited.
Still, a few Democratic senators in those tight contests — including Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Mark Pryor of Arkansas — are putting some distance between themselves and the president. The White House, Pryor said, is "sending mixed messages: telling folks not to cross the border illegally and then turning around to hand out work permits to people who are already here illegally."
Both parties agree that immigration is likely to play a bigger role in the 2016 presidential election. Arizona Sen. John McCain, the GOP nominee in 2008, has said his party can't win without supporting an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is among the potential candidates to urge the party to liberalize its approach to immigration.
A GOP-sanctioned "autopsy" of Mitt Romney's 2012 loss made only one policy recommendation: The party "must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform," a term understood to include creating pathways to legal status for millions of immigrants living in the nation illegally.

SEOUL, July 10 (Yonhap) -- Household loans by South Korean banks rose by the largest amount in six months in June as more people took out mortgage loans ahead of the end to a tax benefit over home purchasing, the central bank said Wednesday.
Household loans by local banks, including home-backed and credit loans, reached 469.9 trillion won (US$411.3 billion) as of end-June, up 4.8 trillion won from the previous month, according to the Bank of Korea (BOK).
The June data marked the largest monthly increase since December 2012 when such lending grew 4.9 trillion won.
If mortgage loans transferred to the state-run Korea Housing Finance Corp. are taken into account, household loans grew 5.8 trillion won last month, the biggest increase since November 2006.
The BOK said that the rise in banks' household lending came as housing transactions increased ahead of an end-June expiry of the government's tax break over home buying.
The tax break is part of the government's set of measures to boost the slumping property market.
Mortgage loans by local banks grew 3.8 trillion won on-month to 320.4 trillion won in June, up from a 1.9 trillion won gain in May. The June data marked the largest gain since a 5 trillion won on-month gain in December last year.
Meanwhile, corporate lending by banks grew 3.1 trillion won to 612.3 trillion won in June as banks remained lenient toward smaller companies, the BOK said.
The growth of bank lending to small and medium enterprises rose 3.2 trillion won to 462.9 trillion won, up from a 2.7 trillion won gain in May. But banks' lending to larger firms fell by 100 billion won to 149.4 trillion won, it added.
The data came one day before the BOK holds its monthly rate-setting session. Analysts said that the BOK is expected to freeze the key rate at 2.5 percent for the second straight month in July.
