We left off with Pharaoh's double nightmare in Genesis 41. This is the fear and anxiety of those with the most. Think for a moment of the sheer interest in trends in the stock market. Imagine a few percentage points drop on the Dow Jone's Industrial! It sparks anxiety and concern in monetary and economic policies not just in this country but also around the world.
What about the millions who are daily facing evictions or service interruptions or have no food on the table?
Pharaoh embarked on a massive plan of production and storage; more production and more storehouses. Exodus 1:11 says the masters "set taskmasters over them (those who labor) to oppress them with forced labor. They built supply cities, Pithom and Rameses, for Pharaoh". In this mindset even Joseph's benevolence became oblivious. Exodus 1:8 says, "Now a new king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph". In our current economic metanarrative we forget who we are. The principles and foundations that made us who we are take back stage.
Pharaoh's economics resulted in enormous hardship, especially for the poor, the marginalized, the disadvantaged and the aliens.
A totalizing narrative - like Pharaoh's economy – can, and does get interrupted. It cannot last forever despite popular belief. In Egypt, "the Israelites groaned under their slavery, and cried out" (Exodus 2:23). The suffering could no longer be silent. They could not take it any more. They voiced their frustrations.
That was the first interruption to the narrative, but there was also a second interruption. "Out of the slavery their cry for help rose up to God. God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God looked upon the Israelites, and God took notice of them" (Exodus 2:23-25).
The interruption has now gone beyond groaning to taking action. The goal of the meeting at Christ Church Cathedral was to challenge those who recognize this trend in Pharaoh's economy and how it is repeated in our own economy to go deeper in the Economics of Compassion Initiative and explore how to be active in the interruption process through an alternative economic model.
Next we will suggest some areas in which anyone in the community can be involved.

I love the look of layered necklaces, but I don't have the money or time to stock up on complementary ( not too matchy-matchy) strand upon strand. So it's great to have a relative who designs jewelry. My sister-in-law Tonia Kim of the Toki Collection is doing these cool multi-layer chains in various shades of gold. I only recently started wearing gold again (yes, I realize I'm a bit late to the game) so this is a nice, not overly glitzy way to ease in. I like the piece because it's more fashionable than a single chain, yet subtle enough to wear with just about anything -- day or night.
You don't have to be related to Tonia to get one. The Toki Collection is available at the Walker Art Center Shop, where a new shipment just arrived. Tonia says the spring collection emphasizes delicate details and 10k gold shaped into twig like forms, tentacles, and tiny seed like shapes juxtaposed against structural forms. Her multi-layer necklaces sell for $162 to $182

As I Lay Dying frontman Timothy Lambesis pleaded guilty on Tuesday (February 25) to a felony charge of solicitation of murder.
Lambesis was arrested last year in California after he attempted to hire an undercover officer to kill his estranged wife . He will be sentenced on May 2, and could face up to 9 years in prison, plus four years parole, in addition to a fine of $10,000.
At an arraignment hearing in May, Lambesis originally pleaded not guilty to the solicitation of murder charge, after his defense attorney claimed his client was the result of a "scumbag snitch setup." However, prosecutors countered that Lambesis had not only met with an undercover detective posing as a hit man, but had given the agent an envelope containing $1,000, pictures of his wife, her address and the security code to a gate at her residence.
Prosecutors also claimed that Lambesis gave the agent — identified as "Red" — specific dates that the hit could take place, and, when asked by Red whether he wanted his wife dead, Lambesis replied "Yes, that's exactly what I want."
At press time, As I Lay Dying has yet to release a statement about Lambesis' guilty plea. When the singer was arrested last year, the band posted a message on their official site thanking fans for their support, adding "Our thoughts right now are with Tim, his family, and with everyone else affected by this terrible situation."
They'd subsequently cancel a tour with Killswitch Engage and have yet to return to the road.

"The Beard" feared the New Orleans Saints wouldn't be able to afford the team's two premier pass rushers. Junior Galette thought at one point this offseason: Just how can the team afford him and Cam Jordan when it came contract time?
The fear was legitimate.
Premier pass rushers are in line with quarterbacks, left tackles, cornerbacks and wide receivers as the priciest players in the NFL. So if Jordan's 12.5 sacks and Galette's 12 sacks last season were a sign of what was to come, how could the annually cash-strapped Saints afford both young defenders?
Galette's fear dissipated Wednesday when he signed a four-year contract extension worth a maximum of $41.5 million, with $23 million guaranteed, that will keep him with the Saints through the 2019 season.
Galette routinely calls out players via Twitter for making megabucks with less-than-mega stats. It's one of the umpteen factors motivating Galette on a daily basis to be an elite player.
"It feels like I'm here," Galette said Wednesday, just after making sure he brushed his signature bushy beard to look his best for the cameras.
Galette denied to me Tuesday there was a contract extension in place after Yahoo! reported a deal was struck in principle. He didn't want to jinx it. I guess I can give him a pass this one time as he's someone who scratched and clawed his way to where he is in the NFL.
"I didn't want to say anything until I signed it," Galette told me with a boyish laugh as if it were Christmas morning. "You never know what can happen."
Now that the Saints have paid Galette, he feels the team has the resources to pay Jordan as well.
Jordan's contract won't be up until after the 2015 season. He received a fifth-year option that'll pay him a base salary of nearly $7 million next year.
"Honestly, I feel like they can," Galette said. "For our position, it's a premier position. You get paid high to sack the quarterbacks. I feel like if I wanted to play here in the future, I'm going to give them a discount. I'm content with what I've got."
The deal is a win-win for both parties. The Saints, who notoriously wait until the 11th hour to strike deals with their best players, secured Galette for the long term and a manageable price tag. Galette also came out victorious by eliminating the risk of not reaching the 12-sack, 60 percent playing-time plateau needed to opt out of his original contract after this season.
(Galette's contract can max out at $48.5 million if he hits the 12-sack mark this year, according to the NFL Network.)
And Galette's assessment that his deal is a "discount" was spot-on, considering how much the Saints have shelled out in the past for pass rushers -- with mixed results.
Defensive end Charles Grant received a seven-year deal worth a maximum of $63 million with $20 million guaranteed in 2007. He flamed out with 2.5 sacks in 2007, three sacks in 2008 and 5.5 sacks in 2009 before landing on injured reserve, essentially ending his NFL career.
Will Smith received an even larger deal the following offseason, signing a six-year contract worth a maximum of $70 million with $26 million guaranteed.
The investment in Smith panned out in the short term as he tallied 13 sacks in 2009 to help the team win Super Bowl XLIV. That season alone was worth the money. Smith, however, notched only 18 sacks the next three seasons.
A few years ago the Saints were stuck with the dilemma of shelling out money for two All-Pro guards, Jahri Evans or Carl Nicks.
New Orleans rewarded Evans with the richest contract for a guard in NFL history in 2010, seven years for $56.7 million. The Saints decided not to pay Nicks two offseasons later and he received a contract from Tampa Bay that surpassed Evans' deal in annual compensation, five years for $47.5 million.
Evans is still playing at a Pro Bowl level. Nicks is out of the league.
The Saints have a good success rate in avoiding the big-money land mines.
Galette said all of the right things on his day of glory.
"My motivation? I'm motivated by pride, not money," Galette said. "If I was motivated by money, then I don't think I'd be performing like I've been doing. ... It's my pride and determination to be the best that I can be at my position.
"And I don't feel like people respect me enough, or think that I'm a top-tier guy yet. Until people start giving me recognition, I'm always going to keep going hard. Even after they do.
"I'm still going to go as hard as I can to make myself better."
The aforementioned players all said the same thing. Money won't anchor their pockets and slow them down. The Saints were right to believe in Evans and Smith. They were wrong to believe in Grant.
As for Galette?
They were right to believe in him, too. The new contract won't be his only validation. He'll be a Pro Bowl player this season.

Donald Trump Announces Granddaughter's Name Arabella Rose
Donald Trump called in to "Fox & Friends" this morning, and announced his granddaughter's name.
The real estate mogul, whose daughter Ivanka had a baby girl yesterday, said, "I just left the hospital… The baby is beautiful," and her name is "Arabella Rose."
The new grandpa used the opportunity to also weigh in on the current political landscape, noting that if the Republicans don't nominate a viable candidate, he could jump into the race.
Trump said after the "Apprentice" season is over, he "might do something," but not as a republican since it would be too late to run as a GOP candidate.

NCAA Championships Central | Psych Sheet | Watch Live
STANFORD, Calif. - Nearly three weeks after winning the Pac-12 Conference Championships, Stanford now heads to the 2013 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships held March 21-23 at the Indiana University Natatorium in downtown Indianapolis.
Stanford has won eight NCAA titles since 1983 and has finished second or third 16 times since 1981, most recently as the 2010 silver medalist in one of the most tightly contested NCAA Championships ever. Stanford also won the 1980 AIAW national title.
The Cardinal finished fourth at last season's NCAA Championships with 318 points.
Ten swimmers will represent Stanford in individual events at the national meet: Maddy Schaefer (50 free, 100 free, 100 back), Andi Murez (50 free, 100 free, 200 free), Maya DiRado (200 IM, 400 IM, 200 back), Felicia Lee (100 fly, 100 back, 200 back), Mary Olsen (100 breast, 200 breast), Andie Taylor (400 IM, 1,650 free), Allison Brown (500 free), Julia Anderson (200 free), Sarah Haase (100 breast) and Annemarie Thayer (100 back).
The Cardinal also qualified for each of the five relays: 200 free (1:28.86), 400 free (3:12.63), 800 free (6:57.12), 200 medley (1:36.54) and 400 medley (3:32.06).
The meet will be streamed on ESPN3. Check your local listings for availability as start times are subject to change.
Live results for the meet will be available at GoStanford.com.
The Cardinal secured its 2013 Pac-12 crown by holding off second-place USC, which trailed Stanford by only eight points heading into the final day of competition.
Stanford earned 1,439.5 overall points at the Pac-12 meet, giving the Cardinal its 19th league title and first under head coach Greg Meehan. The Cardinal has now won three of the last four Pac-12 crowns.
Stanford finished the regular season with a 7-2 record in dual meet competition. The Cardinal was ranked fourth in the final regular-season top 25 poll.
This is the 11th time the IU Natatorium will host the NCAA Championships, more than any other venue across the country. The IU Natatorium can seat nearly 3,500 spectators and is the largest indoor swimming venue in America. The NCAA Championships will return to the IU Natatorium in 2017.

B.G Brooks Links
B.G. Brooks, Contributing Editor
Former Rocky Mountain News writer B.G. Brooks joined the University of Colorado athletic department as a contributing editor for CUBuffs.com in July 2009.
Brooks, 62, had covered the CU athletics scene since 1987, most notably football and men's and women's basketball. He wrote thousands of stories until the paper went out of business this past April, leaving over 200 employees scrambling for new employment. He has now found a home with the school he reported on for over two decades.
CU athletic director Mike Bohn and sports information officials had discussed for some time the merits of bringing in an experienced and respected outside reporter to take the school's website to another level. The addition of Brooks more than accomplishes that desire, while enhancing the website's reputation and taking some of the load off SID personnel who often don't have much time to tend to feature writing that Brooks has specialized in his entire career, which has spanned 39 years.
"We are fortunate to add someone with B.G.'s reputation and caliber to CUBuffs.com," Bohn said. "This will continue our commitment to transparency and increase original content on our website to a previous unforeseen level."
The veteran reporter will provide analytical game coverage and some commentary for football and basketball, and will write feature stories as well as working on special projects and series with a green light to be objective. By virtue of being the web site's first on-staff reporter, his access will expand, but it is important to note that access for media regularly covering the Buffs will be unchanged, with CU continuing to provide more access to its teams, student-athletes, coaches and administrators than most other schools.
He began his career at the Memphis Commercial-Appeal upon graduating from the University of Memphis in 1970. He worked for both the Columbia Daily-Tribune and the Missourian while attending grad school at the University of Missouri before joining the Rocky Mountain News in 1978. His experience includes the full scope, from copy editing and beat reporting (of which he was twice honored as the state's best in 2004 and 2005 by the Colorado AP editors) to time as a columnist as well as sports editor. This is technically his second go-round with the CU system, having served as a consultant and advisor for the The Advocate, the University of Colorado-Denver student newspaper.
He also has been a long time voter for many of college football's top awards, including the Heisman Trophy, the Butkus Award and the Doak Walker Award, as well as being an Associated Press Top 25 voter from 1987-2007.
He becomes the seventh full-time reporter with newspaper roots for a school or conference.
North Carolina State was the first to bring in a newspaper reporter, doing so in 2004 when it hired Tim Peeler from the Greensboro News & Record for GoPack.com; he is now the managing editor of the site. The Big 12 Conference hired Wendell Barnhouse, formerly of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, in a similar capacity last summer, as did Baylor, which hired Jerry Hill from the Waco Tribune-Herald.
Last fall, Texas hired Natalie England from the San Antonio Express-News for TexasSports.com, while New Mexico brought in Richard Stevens of the defunct Albuquerque Tribune for GoLobos.com. MoiseKapenda Bower was recently named staff writer at Rice (RiceOwls.com), joining the school from the Houston Chronicle. All of the aforementioned are basically full-time positions, as is Brooks' at CU. Part-timers include Al Featherston, who writes for GoDuke.com after a long stint at the Durham Herald-Sun, and John Katzowitz (from the defunct Cincinnati Post) has been blogging for the University of Cincinnati on a part-time basis since August 2008. Texas Tech is in the process of hiring someone for similar duties in the near future, Virginia is set to name Jeff White from the Richmond Times-Dispatch in a similar capacity, pending some final details and Arkansas State is experimenting on a limited basis this summer with a local writer from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette to see if it is well received by their fan base.
Several schools have blogs or columns by SID's and/or by one of their radio announcers. The two oldest that are still current are believed to be Plati-'Tudes (debuted in 2000 by Dave Plati, Colorado) and Bill Little Commentary (dating back to 2001, Bill Little, Texas). Stanford hired a former sportswriter (Dave Kiefer, San Jose Mercury-News) as an assistant SID, with his responsibilities including serving as the main feature writer on GoStanford.com.
"We have prided ourselves on having areas on CUBuffs.com that are original, like 'Tudes, CU Classic and all the great video pieces produced by BuffVision," Plati said. "It is obvious fans can't get enough news on their favorite teams, and adding a veteran writer like Butch to our staff will dramatically increase our content. We're all very excited about this, and I think our fans will be, too."

|I used the Black cloud route to summit Elbert for the second time tagging South Elbert`s summit along the way. I never saw anyone else on that trail (other than the summit). This route is somewhat long but a nice alternative if you don`t like crowds. This was the second of fifteen peaks on my 2012 CO. trip.

|Didn't know you could drive a wagon to the summer trailhead, so it was 11.2 miles roundtrip. Made the summit in about 4.5 hours, and got drenched on the way down despite wearing full rain gear. This was our anniversary and marks our 5th state highpoint together.

|Weather forecast was true to reports-clear all day. My wife and I could not have been more fortunate in that regard. Perfect day. Went up via Northeast ridge, spent about 30 min on summit with about 5 other 14ers, toasted with a can of coffee, then descended via East ridge, taking long way home; The Colorado trail back to original trailhead. Long, long loop, 10 hrs RT, but what a treat for our first. East ridge (South Mt Elbert Trail) would definitely be the easier route for newbies. We were there training for our Rainier summit trip in Sept. Did Bison peak the day before, and Lake Como two days later. BTW, Como mosquitos will carry you away. Just wanted to see what serious altitude is like. Totally acclimated after just 3 days in the area! Ready for Rainier!

|Hiking up via the Southeast Ridge, we enjoyed a good, long hike. It was nearly 1 1/2 miles along the summit ridge, so we couldn't linger on the summit too long. We didn't want to be caught in a storm up there. The entire round trip, up & down, was 9 hours.

|We took the old mine road just before the end of the 4x4 road to the south trailhead. From the mine at the end of the road we went straight up to the ridge to S. Elbert, then on to the summit. Took this route so we could see the summit instead of taking the standard south trail, which we took back down making a nice loop. Saw a couple ptarmigan and mulies on the way. Sunny but very windy, blew off the trail a couple times. My new highest point!

"Children don't do what you want them to do when you want them to do it. Organizations don't necessarily, either. You've got to listen. You've got to learn how to influence."
Leaders who really get the connection between what we learned in our original organization, the family and what we take from there to our present work organization as grown-ups have an easier time handling the conflict and office politics of the day.
Think about when you were a kid. What kind of "gotcha games" were played? I promise you they were there. Were you the one who started the game or at the effect of it? All of us have stories of "Gotcha" from childhood.
Now, think about work. Who plays the drama king or queen? Who is the "me, me, me" super achiever? Who dons the cloak of rescuer? And who plays the victim with award winning whining?
Now as a leader, what do you do to squelch the noise and the wasted energy?
Suggestion: Influence your employees by helping them learn the way OUT of the petty game playing. There is a quick "cheat sheet" of the 13 most common patterns that we bring from family into the work place. Offer this to anyone who wants it. Don't force the issue just offer. It is a quick one page scan of the patterns and their positive opposites.
You can also suggest going to www.ceoptions.com to take the pattern aware quiz to get a read on which patterns have the most pull on you. It is easy and fun and you will get a fast response to see the major patterns that you need to work on. Let's all become pattern aware and change faster and smarter for the better!

To me, there is nothing prettier for a party than an arrangement of live flowers. I had a wonderful time checking out the Candler Park Flower Mart in Atlanta and picking out this green and white selection for my DIY centerpiece. For a more unique look, I also chose a mercury glass jug from HomeGoods to serve as my vase.Supplies: Vase or other container Flowers Greenery Branches (Optional) Clear tape Cutting shears
1. Create a grid on top of your vase with clear tape. You'll want to leave enough room between tape strips to place a couple of stems. I didn't have floral tape handy, so I used gift wrap tape, and that worked really well.
2. Place the branches first and then surround these with a layer of greenery and tulips, keeping them long so they don't get buried.
3. Add a base flower (hydrangea) to serve as a bed for the smaller accent flowers.
4. Add accent flowers and finish with several tall tulips. (I used a couple of green roses, bells of ireland, and chrysanthemums to cover empty space and add visual interest.) Gently add water as a final step.

Governor Mitch Daniels has important plans this weekend. His daughter Melissa is getting married tomorrow.
"I've been telling people, she said, 'Dad, you're cutting it kind of close just getting back from Asia two days ahead of time.' I said, 'Don't worry. If I get stuck over there, I've handled all the essentials. The checkbook's at home. I've left a cardboard cut-out of me in a tuxedo,'" said Daniels.
The governor says he learned on his economic trade mission to Asia that in China, the father of the groom pays for the wedding.

Yummy Body Scrub
With Summer and Spring slowly peering through the raining skies, it's going to be time for sandals and frilly little skirts again. Since I used the word yummy to describe this, rest assured that it's another one of my "raid the pantry" recipes. This is one of my favourite scrubs I use for my whole body and is great for at-home pedicures. You can store the scrub in a jar and keep it in the fridge.
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 tsp milk
- 4 tsp rose water
- 4 tsp cucumber water (grate a cucumber and squeeze the juice from it)
- 4 tsp honey
Mix the ingredients together and it's ready for use. You can add more sugar to get the consistency you prefer.

The swans were swimming gracefully in the water until they saw us and decided to come and say hello! I miss having a camera and being able to take candid photos without the swans noticing me.
In this photo you can spot the Yacht Club to the left, the Fort to the right and can tell how breezy it was from Izzy's windswept hair!
As we walked along the beach the swans got back into the water and swam along with us.
Izzy kept finding "treasure" and showing it to me, shells, pebbles, beach glass, crabs legs and the usual finds.
She threw pebbles into the sea...
... and found a fun stick to play with.
She used it to walk, tap, stir, tickle and fish with!
Then she found this rock which made a perfect little seat for her! Can you tell how pleased she was to find it?
A few days before our recent play on the beach, our friend Makala shown us these photos of a seal swimming in this bay.
When she first showed me the photo on her camera viewer, I thought they were lovely photos of a baby seal pup eating a fish. Once I looked more closely I would see it was actually playing with and eating a plastic bag.
It made me really angry. I have written before about the increase of plastic pollution in our seas and on our beaches. It is estimated that millions of square kilometres of ocean surface are covered in floating plastic waste. You can see how they look like jelly fish and fish to the sealife who then go on to attempt to eat them.

georgianne I saw your profile...you're a belly dancer? Me, too! Who else here is, I know I've seen a couple others! Ever crocheted or knitted something for your costume? I thought hair falls might be fun...but then I'm a tribal girl. : )
posted by:
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Mon, December 18, 2006 - 10:49 AM(First tribe post ever!)
I've never crocheted anything for a costume, but my best friend's mom got pretty good at crocheting coins onto trim for scarves and belts and whatnot (I should ask to see how she did it). Some of my classmates have had to do their own repairs on coin scarves, too.
I think hair falls would be totally wild. I've kind of had thoughts about random crocheted curliques in a sort of secondary fringe on a belt. Seems like it would give one's hips some more bulk and definition and make all sorts of things look bigger/better. I'm a little worried that something like that would snag regular fringe, though (and I don't know that the curlies themselves would swing around enough to satisfy me).
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Sat, January 27, 2007 - 11:22 PMI just started belly dancing (tribal Fusion) and would love to see any pics anyone might have of their crocheted pieces.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Wed, August 22, 2007 - 6:27 PMHi,
Have been belly-dancing for several years as well as loving the feel of crochet. I do have a couple of crocheted belts is the recent Sept. issue of Belle Amour magazine. Please check it out.
Carole Morales
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Mon, December 18, 2006 - 10:29 PMI used to bellydance. Then I move, and hurt my back. Until my back is a lot better, I can't dance, but I am sure I will get into it again sometime.
I have crocheted tops/bras and belts
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Thu, December 21, 2006 - 1:02 PMNeat, I think there are a few dancers over in the knitters tribe, too.
Welcome to Tribe, PinkLogic! There are a lot of MEDance tribes! Have fun!
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Thu, December 21, 2006 - 1:37 PMHi Salihah. Crocheted hair falls? I imagine you could create some pretty amazing tribal looks with that. I saw a pattern recently for a crocheted wig. I think it was on the Lion Brand yarn site.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Thu, December 21, 2006 - 2:20 PMOh I know, now if I spent less time on tribe I'd have more time to try making some stuff, LOL! This time of year and I find myself on the computer more and more. Especially today, it's snowing a ton.
I was at Amazing Threads the other day, a local yarn shop. They had this really neat crochet beaded belt. I wish I would have gotten the pattern, I've been thinking about it ever since. It would be neat with tassles or fringe from it, or even a handmade hip scarf. I kept telling myself I could make it, I didn't need the pattern. But that usually means I never get around to it, lol, when will I learn?!
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Fri, December 22, 2006 - 4:52 PMI belly dance (Tribal Fusion) and I crochet!!!
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Fri, December 22, 2006 - 5:01 PMAwesome! Neat to meet you, too, Kali!
I'm going to try making some hair falls. If and when I get them done, I'll post pics. What yarn would you all suggest? Wool? Anyone have pics of anything they've made for their costumes?
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Fri, January 5, 2007 - 12:21 PMI also BD and crochet, fairly new to both but loving it. I have some great ideas for felted tribal belts.
I'm new to the crochet scene in Phx AZ anybody know of good yarn shops in the metro area?
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Fri, January 5, 2007 - 4:55 PMRaising my hand here!!! I bellydance and I've been crocheting for about 25 years. I'm not sure about PHX but there is a wondeful store down town Mesa ... The Fiber Factory.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Sat, January 6, 2007 - 10:17 AMI belly dance (Tribal Fusion) and am planning on crocheting some sort of belt at some point, I have sooo many projects in process. I have an old pattern from Atira's or something with a pattern for crocheting belts and bras. Got it from my mother-in-spirit who use to dance.
I am also going to learn how to weave on an inkle loom this spring and make a belt with those Native American jingle cones for fringe, too awesome.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Mon, January 8, 2007 - 3:55 AMhere i am.
Yes... i saw knit, crochet and so on for my costumes.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Mon, January 8, 2007 - 2:04 PMJust by chance, do any of you post at www.mothering.com/discussions ? There is a yarn crafts group there and a belly dance tribe so I wondered! : )
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Tue, January 30, 2007 - 12:19 PMi belly dance, i crochet... and i knit!
but don't ask me to belly dance while crocheting or knitting.
i'm still pretty much a beginner... i've been taking classes for 5 months now and love it! was just promoted to the intermediate class and am struggling to keep up but love every second of it!
i just learned thread crochet and would love to learn bead crochet so i can combine the two and make my own coined hip ties but i don't have the patience to string all those coins and beads onto the thread first.
yay for belly dance & crochet!
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Tue, January 30, 2007 - 3:06 PMRaising hand, crocheting bellydancer here!
Matter of fact we have a thread going on the DIY Bellydance on a Budget tribe, where we are working out crocheting belly covers with a fishnet stitch.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Thu, February 1, 2007 - 8:05 AMOoooh!! Can you post the link?? Sounds awesome! I've sewn leotards with a mesh middle, but crochet would be fun.
To the other knitting belly dancer....I'm knit too!
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Thu, February 8, 2007 - 3:54 AMI'm a knitter and a bellydancer too!
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Thu, February 8, 2007 - 9:56 AMI just crocheted the corset belt from Happy Hooker, another dancer friend had made one and wore it to class the other night and I decided I should get to makin one for myself.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Tue, February 13, 2007 - 10:11 AMi just bought some zills and i dug out my crochet thread and made up some covers for them so i can practice with them and not give myself a headache
one pair is from a pattern... the other pair i'm designing. i have the pattern written up and i'll post it to my blog and let you all know when it's up.
might sell my zill covers on a special order basis to my class. we'll see if my teacher lets me
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Wed, February 14, 2007 - 3:06 PM"i just bought some zills and i dug out my crochet thread and made up some covers for them so i can practice with them and not give myself a headache "
Awesome idea! Zill mutes! Every other instrument has them, why not zills. Great idea! Sell them!
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Wed, February 28, 2007 - 5:09 PM<----- Tribal dancer too!!! I actually crocheted my belts. If you check out my pictures you can see what I've been working on!!! I'm going to try my hand at the Crochet bra pattern from Artemis Imports when I have a break from school......
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Mon, March 19, 2007 - 3:24 PMHi! I am a Dancer also, on a break from a back injury :(
I also crochet and make a living from it...I think it is the next best thing to Prozac!
As a mother of 7 I do it to keep my sanity.
Problem is, my husband thinks I can crochet anything...so I say Honey, I need a new comforter, or towels, or car seat cover...and his reply is...Honey, cant you crochet one????
I actually am going to be a second time Grandma to a baby girl in June, and I am in the process of designing a baby carrier...the kind you wear on the front of you...I had designed on for a bellydance friend, so she could wear baby on the front while she danced and look costumed...but it is half finished...I will post it when it is done...
Nice to meet you all!
Gigi Originals
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Sun, April 1, 2007 - 7:57 AMGigi! I gotta see some pics of that baby carrier when you're done! That sounds sooo neat! Do you have a website selling your patterns or creations?
I'm a mom of 6, I totally know what you mean about "the next best thing to Prozac"! ; )
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Sun, March 25, 2007 - 12:38 PMI am a belly dancer and I just crocheted my first full tribal costume. It is mostly red, maroon, and pink. I made a bra top (with help from my grandma =)) and I did a fringe belt. It looks great! Maybe I'll post pictures later.
I just started to crochet a belt, that will hopefully turn out to be a cabaret costume. I am doing black with the black ab seed beads! They are so pretty, but crocheting beads into the pattern is somewhat of a pain.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Thu, March 29, 2007 - 2:52 PMOooh!!! O_o Let's see some pictures!!!
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Sun, April 1, 2007 - 7:58 AMJenn, I'd love to see some pics! What do all you belly dance crochet and knitters think if we put together a blog or something to post and share all our patterns?
Let me know what you think.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Sun, April 1, 2007 - 8:01 AMWe could also share just pics of projects we've made, too.
I have some crochet bra patterns that are from some really old magazines, I haven't tried them yet though.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Sun, April 1, 2007 - 9:31 AMsure! I set one up awhile ago....but I deleted it because no one joined! I'll set up a tribe, but let me know if you want to moderate! I'm not too concerned about inappropriate posts!
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Sun, April 1, 2007 - 9:54 AMALL BELLY DANCE CROCHET GIRLS JOIN:
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Sun, April 8, 2007 - 1:28 AMI started crocheting & taking belly dance lessons last fall (work was pretty stressful so I went on a mad hobby rampage!!) and I'm getting a lot better at both! I'm working on a beaded fishnet hipscarf right now, it's the first belly dance related project I've worked on so far.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Tue, July 24, 2007 - 9:28 AMI've been dancing off and on since 1983, and started taking lessons again a few years ago. One of the popular things is the corset belt. I made one of these using some of the 4-ply cotton. It's just a matter of deciding on the sizes of the pieces; making loops on both ends to lace it with; crochet chains for the ties; make some tassels. I have made a few tassels, but need to make more. The problem I had is with how to attach the tassels since you run a loop through the top and tie it.
For variety, do a sc, dc to get texture and more interest in the belt. Straight sc or dc is boring. The end result is like a knitted seed stitch. It also makes keeping the edges straight easier.
Another project would be to find a bikini pattern and use the top for the bra. It's going to be a halter neck and should only be worn by those who can go braless without flopping. What I want to figure out is how to make a crochet thread bra cover with coins and beads for the larger ladies. I'm thinking of something that could be worn with a vest so that the back ties wouldn't show. Those of us who need lots of support, want to wear fun stuff, too.
Columbia Minerva had a pattern some time in the late 70's or early 80's. You might be able to find a copy online. I made one as a gag gift years ago.
On a side note, I keep saying I want a sports bra concession at the end of the local mini-marathon. If you're jogging or dancing, the breast tissue should not be moving on it's own.
I learned to crochet in Jan., 1977, during a horrible winter.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Tue, July 24, 2007 - 12:06 PMI'm a dancer! I make crochet shrugs, some of my troupe mates are planning on using some of my shrugs for a performance in October.
Check out this tribe....
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Thu, August 9, 2007 - 10:10 PMYep..me too..if the profile pic doesn't say it all. I sew alot of my costumes but haven't crocheted any items..
As far as hair falls for the tribal folks..I just learned hand spinning and have been debating the uses of wool roving to make dred falls...thinking lightly spun/ steamed roving would crochet in to some amazing things for headwear.
Re: Belly dancers crochet!Sun, August 12, 2007 - 7:23 PMGuess there is a lot of us! I've been crocheting since I was six and been dancing caberat for 7 years now. I have some patterns gloves, fringe, head bands, and zill covers if anyone is interested.

Utilities Divided as Exelon Quits Chamber Over Climate Change
By Joe Walsh on September 29, 2009
Exelon became the latest utility to leave the US Chamber of Commerce over the business group's opposition to House climate change legislation. California's Pacific Gas and Electric announced its decision to leave the Chamber in the climate change/cap-and-trade flap last week, quickly followed by New Mexico's PNM Resources.
The House Waxman-Markey bill has drawn criticism for being too friendly to utility companies, who would be handed a large percentage of the carbon credit allowances created. That criticism has come not only from environmental advocates who are concerned that free allowances will undermine the value of a cap, but also from other business interests who see the credits creating a potential windfall for utilities - especially those who already generate much of their power from cleaner fuels.

The first movie adaptation in Richelle Mead's bestselling Vampire Academy series is finally out. The books already have a rabid fanbase, but is the movie any good? Well, that depends on how you look at it.
17-year-old Rose Hathaway (Zoey Deutch) is a Dhampir -- half human, half vampire -- set to be guardian to her best friend, Lissa (Lucy Fry), after graduation. Lissa is a Moroi, a mortal vampire in danger from Strigoi -- immortal, evil vampires. Strigoi lust after Moroi blood and the power it gives them, hunting them down at any given chance. So Lisa -- who is also royal -- needs all the protection she can get.
But Rose took her guardian role a little too far when she and Lissa went on the run after a cryptic message from one of their instructors (Claire Foy). A year later, they are finally caught and dragged back to St. Vladimir's Academy, where they will continue their training. But soon after their reinstatement, dead animals and warnings written in blood start turning up. Is it the Strigoi, coming to claim Princess Lissa? Or is there something even more sinister -- and closer to home -- at work?
It's tempting to compare almost any modern work of young adult fiction to Twilight, even moreso with another vampire series. This movie goes out of its way to let you know it's not like Twilight, even poking fun at the franchise multiple times. (Did you know that Strigoi don't sparkle?) And other than the obvious, the two series don't have much in common.
As a vampire movie, Vampire Academy doesn't hold up too well. The special effects are cheesy, and the story gets muddled in the middle, leading to a clichéd ending that might not make sense to non-book readers.
But as a magical teen comedy, it makes a bit more sense. Brothers Mark and Daniel Waters worked on Mean Girls and Heathers respectively, both classics among different generations of teenage girls. The movie is full of the teenage drama smart one-liners that might not be quite on par with their predecessors, but will keep their target audience interested.
Just like in the book, the real strength of Vampire Academy is in its characters -- or, rather, its main character. Rose is a confident, funny smart aleck who wouldn't hesitate to take a bullet -- or a stake -- for Lissa. And relative newcomer Zoey Deutch is fantastic in the role, portraying a heroine you can't help but like. If for no other reason, you should see this movie for her.
If vampires and teen comedies aren't your thing, you might want to skip Vampire Academy. But if you can look past the lame special effects and muddled magic, you might find a story that's worth your time.

I'm trying to find the residues of the functions at the points:
1) $f(z) = \dfrac{e^z}{z^2(1-2z)^2}$ at $z = \dfrac{1}{2}$.
So, we have a simple pole and can I take the derivative of the denominator? But why does this seem to still fail?
2) $f(z) = \dfrac{e^2z}{6 \cosh(z) - 10}$ at $z = \log 3$.
I am not sure why we have a pole at $z = \log 3$; it seems like from the Taylor expansion of $\cosh(z)$, nothing happens here.
3) $f(z) = (z^4 + z^2+1)\sin\left(\dfrac{1}{z}\right)$ at $z = 0$.
I think of the residue at infinity where I say: $\frac{1}{z^2}f(\frac{1}{z})$, but not sure if this would apply.

One of several points made against developers on the denied Canyons maintenance building on Canyons Resort Drive was that a proposed retaining wall behind the facility was a "structure" and thus in violation of code, since it was close to a wetland. Now developers have filed an appeal challenging the county community development director's interpretation of what a "structure" is.
TCFC PropCo, LLC, submitted the appeal to Summit County, which will be discussed at Wednesday's meeting. According to county documents, the project plan for the ski maintenance building called for a retaining wall up to 18 feet in height. The purpose for the wall would have been to "support the maintenance yard and parking lot" for the facility.
During public hearings in April regarding the facility, one point of contention had been that the retaining wall was too close to a nearby stream and a wetland. According to Section 10-4-2.C: Environmental Criteria of the Snyderville Basin Development Code:
"no structure shall be located within forty feet (40') of a wetland. No structure shall be located within one hundred feet (100') of a year round naturally occurring stream, a reservoir, lake or pond "
The Development Code also defines a "structure" as "That which is built or constructed, an edifice or building of any kind, installed on, above or below the surface of the land or water.
The Summit County Council will discuss the appeal during Wednesday's meeting at the Summit County Courthouse, 60 N. Main Street in Coalville. The item is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

A Publication of THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN
Sunrise in His Pocket: The Life, Legend and Legacy of Davy Crockett
By Richard Bonnin
"I know that obscure as I am, my name is making considerable deal of fuss in the world. I can't tell why it is, nor in what it is to end. Go where I will, everybody seems anxious to get a peep at me." Davy Crockett, 1834
Fourteen items from the CAH are included in the exhibit, continuing a working partnership with the museum that enhances the centers mission of teaching and research.
This helps to encourage research and other use of our holdings, he said. In addition, the public display of items from our collections provides materials that primary and secondary education teachers can incorporate into lesson plans relating to field trips. Another benefit is that these exhibits often attract donations of related material to the center.
"I was among the team of historians who helped plan the exhibits," Carleton said. "I helped with the 20th century section. After the exhibits were planned, CAH served as the primary provider of historical documents for various displays.
"We have more than 60 individual items in the Bullock 's main exhibit area, including Elizabeth Ney's life size plaster statue of Sam Houston, the prison diary of Stephen F. Austin, Big Foot Wallace's buckskin coat and items from our Sam Rayburn collection.
Although Crockett was in Texas only for three months or so, his influence on the creation and evolution of the founding myth of the state has been enormous, Carleton said.
Almost immediately after his death at the Battle of the Alamo, Crockett's legacy assumed legendary status in American popular culture through plays and dime novels, he said. His actions in defending the Alamo, and the fact of his martyrdom there, played a significant role in the formation of Texas identity, and as a place created by prototypical American heroes.
With his death at the Alamo, a willing sacrifice to Texas freedom, Crockett became a mythic figure, said Dr. Paul Andrew Hutton, exhibit curator and director of the Western History Association.
Crocketts legend illustrates the process of commercial hero-making. More than a discovery of the real vs. imputed hero, this exhibition sets out to show the complete Crockett.
Organized with the cooperation of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyo., the exhibit pays homage to both the man and the myth by displaying artifacts from Crockett's life, along with objects that reflect his ongoing influence in American culture.
The exhibit explores Crockett as the quintessential frontiersman, the inspiration for the American image of the hunter-hero, a symbol of the Age of Common Man, a martyr for the cause of America's Manifest Destiny and a celebrity of popular culture.
Museum visitors will be able to see some of Crockett's belongings, such as his personal letters and rifles, as well as the Davy Crockett Almanacs that helped create his celebrity status both during and after his lifetime.
The exhibit contains six video segments from the television documentary, Boone & Crockett, The Hunter-Heroes, produced and donated by The History Channel. Also on display are objects and artifacts inspired by Crockett's story created in the years after his death, such as an original script with notations from a Victorian-era theater production, dime novels, portraits even Fess Parker's rifle from the popular TV program that aired in 1955 and John Wayne's buckskin costume from the 1960 film.
A figurehead of Davy Crockett from an 1853 clipper ship and a recreated child's room from 1955 complete with Davy Crockett wallpaper, curtains, bedspread, furniture, pillowcases, pajamas and toys are just a few examples of the many featured items that span more than a century of Crockett mania.

Chapter 2: Insertion
Were in. Spread out and maintain comm. Watch your steps and keep your eyes and ears out for droids. Lectured Seliqa as the group slowly descended into the cave, through a red valley. There were rudimentary steps leading to the bottom and very few crystals peeking out through the mass of black rock. The clones turned on their flashlights, partially illuminating the place in white light. The clones kept shifting the center of the light, to effectively scour the entire place. Captain Wefive was at the head, his gun ever ready to shoot.
The first corridor was some hundred meters long, from where it descended and spread out into larger caverns, some having water pools. As the clones entered the cave, Seliqa strode up towards Captain Wefive. Be careful she advised, I sense concentration of droids. Heavy maybe Super Battle Droids.
Have to be, General. A trooper added, We found no Federation Droid Ships out there, only SBDs can survive without them. The newer versions of Droideka too
Wait! Seliqa commanded. The squad was knee-deep in a water pool. A large pink crystal jutted out of the upper wall. Light reflected from it, lighting up the cave. From it was only one exit and one entrance. The latter was already checked, but the exit was where Seliqa now slowly crept. She motioned the squad to stay back and crouching behind a rock, peeped out. Ahead was an enormous cavern, in the middle of which was a natural, worn bridge. Captain, we have the bridge in sight.
Captain Wefive nodded and with a flick of his wrist, the squad slowly waded through the water. The room dimmed as the flashlights no longer targeted the crystal. Captain pulled up a map on his visor. Switching to inter-squad radio, he spoke, Magenta, White here. We have Bridge visual. Report Location.
After a pause, Magenta replied, Minor resistance, no casualties. Proceeding to Chasm B.
Proceeding to Bridge. White out.
Seliqa took the first steps, slowly crouching out into the corridor that led to the cavern. Captain Wefive and his ten-strong squad followed, switching off their flashlights. The large cavern was bathed in blue-white light that spread out from the broken ceiling. The clones were taken by surprise as detonation mines were set off at their end of the bride. The sound of the explosion was followed by yells and shouts from White Squad. Seliqa ignited her orange-bladed lightsaber. White Squad was not taking any more chances. In loose formation, they headed down towards the chasm. The explosion had damaged the bridges end considerably, making it almost impassable.
General Camman, any chance you can use the Force to uh repair the bridge? Captain Wefive uttered, looking at the crumbling bridge.
Seliqa seemed to be deeply observing the bridge. Bit by bit it was breaking down. The droids were smart, for once. They must have demolitions droids here, SBDs cant plant these. As for the repair, captain, I dont think I would be able to. The bombs have blown the bridge to smithereens. With that, she turned off her lightsaber.
A trooper scampered towards Captain Wefive. White Squad reporting area clear, sir!. Captain Wefive acknowledged and stamped the bridge. A large chunk of rock dislodged and disappeared into the chasm. Seliqa was deeply concentrating on something. Her eyes, closed shut opened suddenly. Igniting her lightsaber, she made a lunge at towards the edge of the chasm and swung her lightsaber hard. Miraculously, it hit an object, which exploded. It was a cloak field generator, a device that allows an object or a group of objects to be hidden in dim light conditions. A metal bridge appeared out of thin air. It was a compact bridge, probably built when the Separatists thought of building a base.
A Cloaking device! This large? exclaimed an inexperienced trooper.
Watch out. Lets go! ordered Camman and the troop rushed towards the bridge. The last half of the squad turned around to cover the back of the squad, while the front half scanned the forest of stalactites and stalagmites that lay ahead. Captain Wefive led the pack, with Seliqa at his side.
Luckily, it didnt take long to cross the artificial bridge. Once crossed, anti-armour laid charges on the bridge and on the other side of the natural bridge, for detonation after the mission would be complete. Clear it. The Captain ordered and the squad spread out to secure the area. Soon enough, blasters were fired. The dark, large cavern was suddenly filled with red laser fire as the droids opened fire on the unsuspecting clones. Seliqa ignited her saber and unleashed her expert Form IV style upon the droids, slashing and destroying them. The form she had mastered, Ataro was an acrobatic technique, where the user would draw heavily from the Force to achieve almost impossible physical feats.
There were about fourteen super battle droids in all, strong, lumbering giants. They were damaged to some extent. The clones managed to take out a number of them, but Seliqa undisputedly had the highest kill count. The droids were smarter than their beige-coloured counterparts. They holed up themselves in the chamber in the middle of the cavern. The chamber was crystal-rich room, with walls of stalactites and stalagmites, some of which had been broken to serve as doors. The battle droids were well equipped, with blasters, high ammunition and a fat supply of grenades.
The clones followed them to the chamber and under the Captains command stood back and fired through the holes of the walls. Seliqa attempted breaching the chamber, but in vain. With clearance from the captain, the anti-armour team rolled out their own ion grenades and chucked a couple of them inside. The blast was spectacular. The green, blue and turquoise crystals shone brilliantly as the blue-white light filled the chamber in seconds. The clones pulled back as the ion grenades were known to damage visors, in some cases, permanently. When the brilliant light disappeared, the clones advanced, further this time. This time they rushed in and opened fir on the malfunctioning droids. Already sparks were flying from them. Some had lost their programming and had begun attacking random targets. As before, Seliqa was there to finish the job and slice every bit of living metal.

Great! But a deteailed explanation on how to get the dang thing to run is needed, badly. It's been a real headache trying to figure it out.
EDIT: Ah, here we go. You need WinRAR installed to do this.
-One you've downloaded all 3 parts, open any one of them up and open the "Pokemon Pyrite" folder.
-There should be 3 files in there: "Audio" (we'll use this later), "Pokemon Pyrite.exe", and "ReadMe.txt". Click and drag "Pokemon Pyrite.exe" onto your desktop.
-Once it's on your desktop, double click on it and click "OK". This will create a new folder called "Pokemon Pyrite" on your desktop. To make explaining this easier, re-name this new folder "PP Folder".
-Remember how I told you we'd use that "Audio" file later? Click and drag it into "PP Folder".
-Open up "PP Folder".
-Double click on "Game", and enjoy!

If the San Diego Chargers can somehow come into Mile High on Sunday afternoon and defeat the Broncos, they'll move to 5-5 on the season, just one game back from Denver who would then be 6-4. If they don't, and the Broncos, who are favored by over a touchdown, defeat them as expected, they'll fall to 4-6, three games behind the Broncos. Their season will be over.
The Chargers are a cornered animal at this point. The Broncos must be aware of that and not take victory for granted.
At stake for San Diego is far more than only their hopes for the 2012 season. The Chargers coach, quarterback, general manager, and even their future in San Diego could be on the line.
Norv Turner's seat is about as hot as they come. A loss to Denver will basically spell the end of the season for his team. Even if the Chargers were to run the table after a loss to the Broncos, the best they could do is finish 10-6. And they won't - not with Baltimore and Pittsburgh still on the schedule. They'll miss the playoffs again, for the third straight season, after immediate exits from the post season in each of the two previous years.
That type of inefficiency isn't going to be accepted amongst a fan base that has already begun to dissipate. The pressure will be on ownership not just to remove Turner, but to dispatch General Manager AJ Smith as well.
What's worse is that the rumors will only intensify that the Chargers are likely to make a move to Los Angeles. The Chargers have suffered from poor fan attendance already, largely due to a feeling among the fan base that they are cheering on a team they are likely to lose. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy in a big way. The more it looks like they're leaving the fewer tickets they sell. The fewer tickets they sell, the more likely they are to leave.
For the Broncos, a loss on Sunday would mean a tougher path to the playoffs. They might no longer be in the discussion for the top two seedings, but be staring at a Wild Card berth instead. For San Diego it's all on the line. Everything. Is Sunday's game their Super Bowl? Maybe not if they win. But if they lose it will have been for sure.

Discover Wayne Dalton Garage Doors
Is it time to upgrade the exterior of your home? The garage is often the first thing noticed from the outside and the garage door is the main focal point. Choosing the best garage door to match your personal style and needs will take time and planning. Wayne Dalton Garage Doors and their many garage products should be added to your list of possible choices.
Wayne Dalton carries two basic types of garage doors: Residential Steel doors, which are either insulated, non-insulated, or fiberglass/steel, and Residential Wood Carriage House style doors. Both types of doors come in a large variety of color and textured finishes and designs that will fit any home style.
Some doors can feature windows that give a beveled look to them, refracting light that is stunning inside or outside. Four main Wayne Dalton styles available with this feature: Diamond, Prairie, Kingston, and Mission, all created with 3M technology.
I found the most impressive door to be the Model 9800 Fiberglass-clad door. This door looks like natural wood in its texture and appearance. With hi-definition graining, it recreates the beauty of real wood. The construction of the door integrates fiberglass on its surface, which increases energy efficiency and prevents the warping, splintering, and denting that can often be sustained with a wood door. It also prevents swelling or shrinkage that wood typically faces over time. This beautifully natural looking door brings outstanding curb appeal to your house with its unlimited possibilities in styles and six finishes, including walnut, oak, mahogany, green, clay, and gray.
With one door being so impressive, just think what the whole line can offer. Be sure to check out their website at www.wayne-dalton.com, where there is a Garage Door Design Center to help you visualize their door styles and the Solution and Selection Centers that help in your choice of "the right" door that fits your needs and home style.
Dalton also carries garage door openers with either wall mountings or ceiling mountings to go along with your door selection, making a complete unit. When planning to replace your garage door or any other major remodeling projects, be sure to seek professional help with the major installations.

Boynton Beach religious leaders holding unity prayer
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - Religious leaders in Boynton Beach are coming together and praying for unity Wednesday at the city commission meeting.
About a dozen pastors, clergymen and preachers want to show their solidarity.
They say their community has received a tremendous amount of negative attention the past several weeks, including some police officers calling out sick.
They feel it's left a dark cloud hanging over the city and they hope this act with help to repair the city's image.
"They're excited because they know that at least the city has men of faith, people that are willing to bond together in unity and in harmony for the betterment of our city," said Apostle Tommy Brown.
Organizers are inviting other church members to join them Wednesday at the commission meeting, which is held at City Hall located at 100 E. Boynton Beach Blvd.

If you are one of over 10 million members of Amazon's Prime network you were in for a surprise in your e-mail on Thursday. It was a letter explaining that if your membership is up for renewal after April 17, 2014 you will pay the new price of $99/year instead of the current $79/year.
The letter read: "We are writing to provide you advance notice that the price of your Prime membership will be increasing. The annual rate will be $99 when your membership renews on xx/xx 2014.
Even as fuel and transportation costs have increased, the price of Prime has remained the same for nine years. Since 2005, the number of items eligible for unlimited free Two-Day Shipping has grown from one million to over 20 million. We also added unlimited access to over 40,000 movies and TV episodes with Prime Instant Video and a selection of over 500,000 books to borrow from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library.
For more information about your Prime membership, visit our Prime membership page."
For those of us that our on a tight budget and the $79/year price is all you can afford or just want to get around the increase, there is a way that you can still get your Prime membership at the current price. You can buy a Prime membership as a gift before the increase takes affect and send it to your own e-mail address. You then have a year in which to redeem your gift card to continue your Prime membership. If you are planning on going this route you do need to make sure that your current membership doesn't automatically renew and if it does than take it off that automatic renewal.
If you are a student the price increase will still hit you but not quite as bad. Your membership will be going up to $49/year from the current price of $39/year.
Even though the price will be going up you will still receive the same benefits. Free 2-day shipping on select items, free video streaming of an every increasing library of movie and television shows and reduced prices and free borrowing from the Kindle library.

All Aboard The Britney Bus
- 24
Thu 1st Oct, 2009 in Local News
It's the Britney bus, bitch!
Same Same knows better than most how much of a hard slog it can be to get home from Acer Arena at the end of a concert. Long waits in the car park, cramped train carriages, hurried pick ups.
So off the back of the hugely popular Kylie Koach, Same Same and Stonewall Hotel are proud to present the Britney Bus!
The Birtney Bus is an air-conditioned luxury coach that will pick you up after each of Britney's concerts at Homebush, take you back to Oxford Street with a drag queen host and deliver you right to the front door of Stonewall Hotel with a free drink in your hand. It won't look as pink as the Britney bus pictured, but it will be full of Britney fans.
The coach will be coming back to Stonewall after each of Britney's Sydney concerts on Monday Nov 16, Tuesday Nov 17, Thursday Nov 19 and Friday Nov 20.
After the concert, the Britney Bus is a Murray's coach parked in Coach Parking C (between Edwin Flack Avenue and Hill Road), just past P1. We will give you a mobile number of the bus contact for each night so that you can find it easily.
Tickets for the Britney Bus are limited, and cost $20 +BF.

The motion reads:
"That this House welcomes the decision of the Equality and Human Rights Commission to intervene in support of four cases involving discrimination against Christians that are presently with the European Court of Human Rights; notes that this is a long overdue recognition of the need to defend religious liberty and marks an important development in relation to a better understanding of the role of faith in public life; and further welcomes the Commission's advocacy for reasonable accommodation in the workplace as an acknowledgement of the place of conscientious objection for those with religious belief."
A "reasonable accommodation" of religion and belief in the workplace and in public life is of particular significance to Muslims given recorded incidents of workplace discrimination on grounds of religion and in light of the growing number of attacks on Muslim individuals and property.
If your MP is not among those that has signed the motion, please urge them to do so.

Information about our petition has been published in Huffington Post and Digital Journal
This was made possible with your support. Thank you for sharing, tweeting, liking and spreading this information.
Please keep on supporting us and spreading this information
Thank you,
Ruslan B
At Ripley's Aquarium of Canada in Toronto, customers are allowed to touch animals at the Discovery Centre. Ripley's calls the exhibit "Touch Tanks."
This causes stress on animals, which already do not live in their natural habitat.
Sharks, stingrays and other fish are included in the exhibit, and spend their days being poked and prodded by visitors -- it's no way for animals to live.
Please sign the petition to tell Ripley's to remove this attraction, and be compassionate to animals.
Update:Check out my interview with CTV, Canada's largest news network, about this petition here>. Thanks to everyone who signed, please keep sharing with your friends!
Mr. Pattison Sr. & Pattison Jr.,
We the undersigned urge you to please take action against allowing customers to pet animals on a daily basis at Toronto Ripley's Aquarium.
Problem on this page? Briefly let us know what isn't working for you and we'll try to make it right!

I was wondering if DLC was ever going to pop up on this forum. Amazing live, and their album is great from beginning to end to boot.
They say the grass is always greener on the otherside,
If so, do birds dream of walking, while we dream to fly?
Also, read this interview. Some awesome details on what we might expect to hear on their next album.
"I think we're kind of in a cyborg half-human, half-robot stage at the moment. Yeah, I definitely think we could (be going in an electronic direction). We're leaning toward a bigger, fatter sound, rather than just the guitars."
"Most of the next one's going to be a bit of the after-effect: "how can you combat things like that (not feeling in control of your own life)? How can small people deceive world bankers? The answer will actually be everyone — what everyone does within their individual bubble, how we choose to act, and if that will butterfly effect out."
Did they move to America or something? Or just doing lots of touring there, now that they're on Sumerian?
Really didn't like this band at all, but it's good to see a band from Australia doing okay every now and then.
Probably just a lot of touring. I saw them when they were supporting Fair To Midland. I was 1 of 2 people wearing a DLC shirt when they came on, but damn did their merch booth get swamped after their set. Got to hang out with them after the show too, cool bunch of guys. And hells yes for Karnivool. I am so sad I missed them when they were in the states.
They were the opening band for LP in Sydney 2010. Don't want!
They remind me a bit of Mutemath. Like.
Checked them out and they're not bad at all.
Actually, their 2010 album is fantastic! It's all I've been listening to the last 5 days. Looking forward to their new stuff!
Looks like's we can expect a new single in April! Revealed in this interview, worth checking out if you're interested.
Le interview.
Update yo, the new single is titled Wake Up, and has aired on Australian radio station Triple J, so we can hopefully expect it to be live on le interwebs such as YouTube shortly. There is no ETA on official release.

Texas to Erupt with Home Solar Installations
With ample sunshine and a little something called House Bill 2961 on the table, things may finally pick up for Texas, a state that's fallen behind on solar development.
The proposed legislation would offer attractive solar rebates for rooftop solar panels. In fact, with funding of this size, approximately 50,000 homes and 1,000 businesses are expected to purchase systems in 2011.
Rebates are always driving costs down
Texas isn't the first, and it certainly won't be the last. To find out what it costs in your state to go solar, click here.
Who's eligible for rebates, and how much would they receive?
Eligible recipients include electric customers (that's virtually everyone), qualified solar installers, remodelers, home builders, and even third-party owners of solar generator systems, according to the Star-Telegram.
In addition to the federal tax credit of 30% off solar installation costs, homeowners will also receive:
- $2 per watt for distributed solar systems of 10 kilowatts (kW) or less at your home or business
- $1.40 per watt for installed solar of 10 to 2,000 kW
- $1 per watt for installed wholesale solar generation
Many states offer rebates as attractive (or more so) for solar power installations. To learn more, check prices for installation and equipment costs in your city.
Texas solar on par with nuclear?
To give you a frame of reference, Texas currently has 15 to 30 megawatts (MW) of solar installed. If approved, this bill would generate 1,000 MW of clean energy over the next five years, a supply actually equivalent to one of the state's nuclear reactors.
Of course, grid parity still has a long way to go, but for now the benefits of solar certainly outweigh those of nuclear. Plus, besides cleaner, safer and more sustainable energy, the added solar would bring scores of green jobs along with it.
According to Steve Wiese, President of Texas REIA, "If we can develop solar energy in this state, we potentially can develop a manufacturing base that can employ people producing these [solar] products for out-of-state as well as in-state."
