In the midst of stony desert lies the oasis of Palmyra, named Tadmor by the Arabs, a reference to date palms grown here producing numerous varieties of dates. The town owes its renown to the role it played through history, its powerful queen Zenobia, and today its ruins and ancient tombs.

I got my hair cut and colored a few weeks ago. After a year-ish as a brunette, I am back to blonde.
I am happy about it. (Apparently all you people are thrilled about it. Mark's reaction when I got home: awww Erin is back! #grin Then my mom had a legitimate hooray! when I texted her a pic. And one lady in my church choir spent the better part of a rehearsal literally petting my hair. Ummm really folks? Was the darker hair really so bad?)
Mark spent a couple days getting the pool ready for the summer, which is a lot of cleaning and skimming and scrubbing and chem balancing and (of course) ended with pool workers (real ones, not the kids) coming over to change the sand in the pump and replace not one but two chlorinator parts.
Then he and Another Nathan spent the better part of a morning washing and waxing my car AND vacuuming/wiping the inside, and I sat on the driveway and played with the kids and drank coffee. I didn't hate it, is what I'm saying.
We took Nathan to the dentist for his first real teeth cleaning (we took him a couple summers ago, but they didn't get far because oh man the tantrum). This time he was brave and sweet and a few tears rolled out silently but at the end he got a sticker and a dollar-bin dinosaur and really, what more could you want?
Also I started reading a book on the social and political perceptions of Jesus in each century since he died, because a sweet older lady at church sat next to me in one class long enough to decide that she wants to have coffee with me and talk about it, since she loves it and doesn't know anyone else who has read it. Which basically proves I will do anything for anyone who thinks I am smart?
Or! I just always fall prey to people who want me to read things and talk about them. Read things and talk about them! This is why I majored in English!
(If anyone else would like to read this and talk about it, the book is called Jesus Through the Centuries. But actually come to think of it, there are other things I have read that I would much rather talk to you about. So let's do that instead.) (Related: who would like to be in the book club I just now this second decided I should maybe start?)
Oh and speaking of church we did an Easter cantata this year instead of a requiem during Lent, and if you will indulge a second of liturgial nerdiness, can I just say that it was so lovely? For weeks of extra rehearsals and extra musicians and lots of logistics to put together, this year was particularly unstressful. Cheerful, even. And the worship services were all really beautiful that morning. I felt really high on it afterwards. (I needed to feel high on church. It came at a good time.)
And then I went to Georgia for a couple days! Another Nathan had some conference-planning work to do with a pastor in Macon, so I tagged along as far as Atlanta (I am excellent road trip company, everybody says it) (I probably didn't spend seven hours singing
We took barely any pictures but I did learn the proper way to fold a fitted sheet so if you still struggle with that (and who doesn't) then maybe you should go to medical school because that is apparently what you learn there.
I tried my best to teach Another Nathan to say Georgia with a southern drawl (jaaw-ja) and despite being an Iowan who is very very ept at a legit carolina accent, he couldn't quite get this one. He mostly sounded like a midwestern pirate. (Jar-ja.) (I am still friends with him.)
Also in jaaw-ja there was one moment where I was driving Another Nathan's car around downtown Atlanta with David in the passenger seat and my head almost spun off my neck and exploded my brain because worlds colliding and all that.
Oh and then I got to spend the night with Ashley on the way home (second time in just a few weeks! I did it after my haircut also) (yes I still drive to Charlotte for highlights, without shame) and we also did not take any pictures, so.
One crap thing that happened is that I had a major (MAJUH) eff-up on our Thailand trip, and we have exactly half as many miles as we needed (those things are priced each way which DUH ERIN how long did I work in the travel industry?) so despite having dates picked and tickets on hold and childcare all lined up, we were unable to actually issue said tickets, and I have been very busy over here scrambling to make the budget work and feeling heartbroken that... it won't. After ten years (ten years!) of dreaming of this big anniversary trip, I don't think it's going to happen. So now we are sitting around with a chunk of moolah that is enough for something but not enough for Thailand and even though there are lots of things we want that would feel like good anniversary presents to ourselves (a bathroom makeover, all new landscaping, a trip somewhere else, etc etc etc), none of them will be Thailand so excuse me while I go cry a few more minutes and remain spendy-immobile while we decide what to do. (Damn. It.) (Also I just re-read this and my problems sound super privileged and first-worldy and I beg forgiveness because I can hear myself and IT IS ANNOYING.)
Hm I guess that's all that's new and fascinating around here. Oh yeah there was also one delightful day where we thought it was Saturday. (It was not Saturday). Nathan was only an hour late for school. Aaaaand... scene.

Another 9/11 is almost upon us, which has attracted the attention of many Americans as well as our allies around the globe. Just after that infamous date, more than 100 veterans of the War on Terror will unite in Los Angeles to begin the next chapter of serving their nation––leading their communities at home. The veterans are the latest recruits for The Mission Continues, which is a national nonprofit organization that helps post-9/11 veterans successfully transition from military life to civilian careers through a somewhat unusual path: community service and volunteerism. From September 12 through September 14, the veterans will participate in three days of leadership training, volunteerism, and a special oath ceremony to jump start a six-month journey of volunteering with local nonprofits in their hometowns.
Highlights of the event include: a day of classroom training where The Mission Continues alums will share their stories of struggle and success in post-military life; an all-hands community service project at Good Shepherd Shelter in which veteran volunteers will landscape the grounds, repair sheds and gates, transform a busy street corner, and paint classrooms and window panes at a home for women and children in crisis; a public oath ceremony directly following the service project where post-9/11 veterans will publicly re-pledge their commitment to make a difference––this time at home.
Following the service project, recruits will seal their commitment by pledging an oath of service to their community in front of their fellow volunteers at Good Shepherd, before returning home to begin six-month service fellowships, volunteering with nonprofit organizations in their hometowns. "September 11 is more than symbolic for many veterans. It is a day that ignited a spirit of service for those who put on the uniform and chose to serve our country," explained Spencer Kympton, U.S. Army veteran and president of The Mission Continues. He added, "We believe this spirit lives on today. At The Mission Continues, we're helping veterans channel their energy to make a difference in their neighbors' lives and leave a legacy of continued service for future generations to follow."
Continuing to Serve at Home On Saturday, Sept. 13, the new veteran recruits and Los Angeles-area alumni of the program will partner with Los Angeles-area community volunteers to transform the campus at Good Shepherd Shelter. Joining The Mission Continues veteran volunteers are key partners, including Bad Robot, Boeing, Disney, and Target. "The Mission Continues' veterans are living examples for our residents that leadership and determination offer a path to empowerment and success," noted Sr. Anne Kelley, Executive Director of Good Shepherd Shelter. "We are so grateful for the support of The Mission Continues and know these upgrades will help us better care for each family and take one step closer to ending the generational cycle of domestic violence."
In fall 2013, The Mission Continues launched a LA-based veterans' service platoon now led by Kristina Catuiza. Ms. Catuiza, who served nine years in the Navy, served her fellowship at Santa Monica College, helping other female student veterans adjust to life on campus. She is passionate about serving other veterans and plans to pursue a career at the Veterans Administration after college graduation. As the newly appointed LA platoon leader, she leads more than 75 local veterans supporting a multi-year mission in collaboration with Disney to empower disadvantaged youth to be responsible, resilient citizens with a passion for service. Ms. Catuiza said, "After leaving the military, I was unsure of what was next for me. My fellowship helped me identify what I'm passionate about and channel that passion into a possible career. I want other veterans to realize that they are not alone in this journey. Through the platoon, we're bringing veterans together so that they can find camaraderie once again, as well as a sense of purpose."

Archangel Metatron via James Tyberonn
SANTA FE - Vortex of the Golden Pax
Greeting Beloved, I am Metatron, Lord of Light. I greet you all in Unconditional Love!!
The world quickens and reforms itself now . All is quickening, time is accelerating as the Ascension draws nigh. So as time reshapes itself it will also reshape the consciousness of humanity, of tangible and intangible forces of nature and that of the face of the Earth itself.
The PAX, as we will describe in this assay, is then a vortexial portal of extremely high 'life force', exponentially more potent than even the most potent of Powernodes on the planet. An area of 'Akashic Force' so concentrated that unified thought within its parameter is capable of changing, of creating, of manifesting chosen reality thru combined theta thought. That termed a PAX is a creation point. And they have been absent on your planet for many millennia. The last PAXIAL Point was removed aeons ago by the Syrian-Pleadean Alliance of Ascended Masters, as the light quotient of the planet sadly declined. But we tell you, in joy, that the energies of the Ascension will soon reactivate the Golden PAX. Indeed another milepost in the graduation of humanity and of the beloved Earth. The Golden Pax of Santa Fe is the first to be reactivated.
Renewal: The Pyramid of Peace and Reconciliation
In the Golden Age of Atlantis, approximately 25,000 years ago as measured in linear time, an enormous Pyramidal complex was erected in the region of Santa Fe, near the base of present day Mount Trucha. It was of Syrian and Atlantean construct as were so many others in that prolific era of Pyramids. It was called the 'Pyramid of Peace and Reconciliation.
Power-Nodes Are Cyclic
Thought Wave Accelerators
Alchemy of Ascension
A major node of the Golden Pax is its living waters.The quad-springs at OJO Caliente are quite unique in their role. When all 4 are utilized a very beneficial clearing and expansion of the auric field occurs that in fact reinforces the 13-20-33 circuitry of the field. Attachments are removed and optimal energy flow is obtained. Energy is amped to its highest potential.
These assist greatly in allowing the auric field to maintain integrity within the increased energies of the Paxial Points.
The very energy received has the ability to heal illnesses and rejuvenate the body physical. The waters are alive, carrying extraordinary life force or 'Akash' . The waters flow in excess of 100,000 gallons per day in 4 distinct geothermal mineral pools from an ancient subterranean volcanic aquifer that was indeed known to the Atlanteans, and is utilized beneath the surface by the blue bodied LeMurians.
The indigenous and the pre-descendent Explorers recognized the revitalizing and healing effects for those who soak in the sacred living waters.
The subterranean civilizations in the area are indeed, as mentioned, very aware and quite active in their utilization and indeed maintenance of the springs. We will tell you that the Atla-Ra initiates utilized the springs in Auric fortification and for ceremonial cleansing before visiting the Pyramid of Peace and Reconciliation located near present day Mt Trucha.
The areas of the Golden Pax are teeming with subterranean tunnels and life. Within this area the lauded and mythical labyrinth of the Atlantean age are still quite functional within the hyper-dimensional inserts of this area. The benevolent blue-skinned beings and those of Sirius A are based below this area and are indeed involved in the reconfiguration of the Golden Pax. This is why so many sense a 'hum' vibration in the regions near Santa Fe, Trucha, Crestone and Ojo.
The combination of a quadro-plex of iron springs, arsenic bearing springs, sodium springs and lithium springs is extremely rare and mutually synergistic in their effect. There is no other such mineral combination of geo-thermal natural living springs on the planet. The waters are thermal, between 85 and 108 degrees and this is also an important factor, indeed the temperature increases the absorption both physically and etherically These then to be taken in a spirit of reverence, honoring the living spirit of place and the living spirit of the waters. Go into the waters only after seeking permission , in quiet meditation and not as a splash in the pool or spa, but rather in honored ceremony and prayer. Ask for that that is desired, for that needed in highest good, for you are indeed in as Living Cathedral, the ritual cleansing of sacred baptism.
Iron Red Springs:
The iron rich thermal iron springs is the blood essence of that termed the Sacred and Divine Feminine energies. Indeed the red spring is in axialtonal alignment with the Chalice Well Red Springs, and the Mt Shasta (Stewart Mineral) Red Springs of the 'Goddess'. The energies are magnetic and carry the crystalline essence of the ruby. Assistance is given in strengthening of the immune systems, of enriching the magnetic balance within the circular system and blood stream. It is especially effective in restoring auric and hormonal balance to post menopausal women, and injecting feminine balance in over masculine expressions within those in male biology.
Soda White Springs:
The sodium springs represent and carry the energy of the balanced 'Divine Masculine' and work in harmony with the red springs. In fact it can be said that these two are in divine union within blending the male and female aspects into whole integration. The ionic characterization of the white springs is also very beneficial in removing auric attachments and reducing emotional imbalance. The sodium waters are also capable of aiding stomach maladies, digestive issues and hormonal imbalances. An axialtonal connection here is to the Swan springs of Glastonbury and to the Silicate White springs of Mt Shasta.
Arsenic Springs:
The arsenic water works in the removal of negative or toxic characteristics that are projected within the mental bodies of the individual seeker. The arsenic is also very physically benevolent in the healing of skin conditions such as lesions, eczema and skin irritations. Additionally helpful in the long term utilization of the waters are issues of rheumatism, joint inflammation and arthritis. Lubricity thru its electrical properties is added to the muscular and skeletal frame of the body physical.
Lithium Spring:
This spring is in axialtonal alignment with the Lithia waters of Delphi in Greece. These waters open the 3rd Eye and increase that termed 'psychic awareness. The lithium waters clear and open the heart, throat and 3rd Eye centers. The waters assist in development of well-being, serenity and tranquility within the individual.
The Cumulative effect of all 4:
As the minerals blend to various degrees between the 4 pools, the order of utilization is best in the following sequence. Those in female biology shud begin with the red springs, and follow with the white, arsenic and finish with lithium. A minimum then of 30 minutes in each pool, with a 5 to 15 minute wind/sun drying between each is recommended. Do not dry with a towel, rather allow the wind and sun to dry for better absorption of the minerals. The opposite for male biology, begin in the white (sodium) pool and follow with the red, arsenic and lithium. The cumulative benefits are clearing, re-stabilization and balancing of all 12 chakric centers, and the optimal adjustment of 13-20-33 circuitry. The integral wholeness of male-female balance is obtained within the water rituals. A sense of calmness, serenity and balance is obtained from the bathing ceremony.
Masters, this process indeed will heal and rejuvenate in triad, physically, mentally and spiritually. One ritual cycle will indeed assist, but we recommend repeating the process twice to thrice times daily for a period of three to five days for optimal effect. And that this regime be enacted 3 to 4 visits per year for those seeking increased vitality and rejuvenation. Such optimal and repeated utilization can remove illness and indeed prolong and enrich life in bodies physical and spiritual. The regular use of these springs will also assist residents of the area to better incorporate balance and harmonize into the subtly intense energies of the crucible PAX.
The PAX as an Earthen Light Body
Key Factors of the Ascension
* 1) Expanded Dimensional Access
Yet understand that the Ascension complexities are non linear realities that are received into the earth in linear time. In that context, the 'Ascension' is exactly where it has always been, figuratively and factually so. In terms of nonlinear movement it is not closer today than it was a decade ago. That is because the Ascension always has been and always will be. It is a Cosmic requisite for the Earth and thus for humanity. You pull this Omni Event into your reality at the time your collective vibration triggers it.
Unity Consciousness
And so it is.

Judd Winick spoke with CBR TV during Comic-Con International in San Diego about his role in September's DC Comics relaunch, from the initial veil of secrecy surrounding the project to his two titles, "Batwing" and "Catwoman," his initial reaction when DC approached him with their plans and more.
On the topic of "Batwing," Winick discusses the perception that a white writer shouldn't be writing a black character, the research he's put in to accurately portray Africa and an African lead in the title and the overall concept of a superhero working in a very poor country with very real problems.
From there, the conversation shifts to the fictional streets of Gotham City and Winick's "Catwoman," from the feline-themed thief's motivations to her current relationship with Batman and her timeless appeal.
When you can say something like this:nnhttp://www.newsarama.com/comics/sdcc-2011-dc-new-52-saturday-110721.htmlnnJudd Winick:nn"We write about stuff in nthe states with supervillains and criminals. In Africa you have guys whon are called warlords and put guns in the hands of kids and kill them. nThey are already supervillains!" nIt tells me that you don't know a great deal about the history of your own country (with its own supervillains like cowboys; the mob; the Ku Klux Klan; neo-Nazis; drug dealers of all colors; greedy corporations; corrupt and murderous police officers; and Wall Street executives). And it tells me that you are already viewing African culture through some Otherized lens.u00a0 nnSo you can't be shocked when members of the audience are immediately suspect of your position as writer on this title.
The US has certainly had its share of arch-criminals, but the evils perpetrated by the likes of Thomas Lubanga'su00a0Union of Congolese Patriots exist on a scale that is unknown in the modern United States. There is no doubt that American history is deeply rooted in blood, but much of Africa still drowns in the blood of her own people – particularly the DRC. I find the idea of a home-grown hero, and not some westernized white hope, to be fascinating. A hero in a hopeless land. It's worth mentioning that I am African, and cannot wait for this new book.
If only I had the luxury of believing that American citizens are somehow less evil or brutal than regimes in other countries. As a person of color whose American family tree goes back six to seven generations in this country, the experiences of my family are VASTLY different–and much more brutal, murderous, and harrowing–from the ones Mr. Marsh and Mr. Keegan assure us are true. I wonder, Mr. Keegan, if you would be so anxious to read this comic book if you were a black African. And I also wonder, Mr. Marsh, what experiences in this country you lack that you would find the truth disgusting.nnSomehow, I'm expected to believe that tyranny is always WORSE when committed by a person of color. Someone should tell that to the two white teens who just brutally beat and murdered a man in Mississippi simply because he was black:nnhttp://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/08/06/mississippi.hate.crime/index.htmlnnThe odd thing about this story is that many of the mainstream news organizations are presenting the murderers as sympathetic–which tells me a great deal about the racial imagination of the country.
Also, Mr. Keegan, I'd like to correct something you wrote.u00a0 You said: nn"The US has certainly had its share of arch-criminals…."u00a0 nnYou used the past tense. I can assure you, as an American myself, that the present tense should be used.
Wow, didn't expect to find such an anti-american standpoint on here but you post is disgusting at best. Judd Winick nor anyone else on here was suggesting that America is void of crime, corruption or sin but you just had to throw in your dumb little comment to try and belittle what he's doing and make it overtly political. He's actually trying to make a non-stereotypical view of Africa and actually have a native superhero there for once whose actually doing good and help his countrymen, unlike you who are just spewing ignorant rhethoric and flames.
It's scary how much Judd Winnick looks like James Carvell.
Why did Judd shave his head? He looks like Damon Lindelof, and that's not a compliment.
David Cross is writing comics now?!?u00a0 AWESOMEu00a0 *eye roll*
Also, CBR, it's Winick with one "N", not two.
I wanted to comment on this and I have nothing against a freelance writer taking a job but, REALLY DC?nnYou can shove this one up your ass.
I've got no problem with Winick writing this. I trust dude as a writer and from interviews like this one I believe that he's taking this book very seriously and wants to do the motherland justice. I'm glad he's been doing his research and wasn't content to fall back on ignorant stereotypes and tropes. Last great depiction of Africa I saw in comics was Dysart's Unknown Soldier (amazing series by the way) and to my knowledge neither he nor Alberto Ponticelli were African or African American. Though I will say the book appeared more lush and alive when Pat Masioni took over pencils for a while. That brother was a native African and it really showed in his work. Would love to see him doing more work in American comics.u00a0
Wow. "Batwing" is gonna suck.u00a0 And please stop calling the character "black Batman."u00a0 nnThis book takes place in "Black Africa," Judd? Wtf does that even mean? There are a lot of black people in it, you say, and you and the host giggle as if that's such an absurdity?nnWhy would anyone want to read this book when the writer sounds so ignorant?

Sometimes working moms (and dads) struggle to maintain daily satisfaction with work when challenges at home make them wonder how they're going to manage both. If they have to be away from their families, they'd at least like to feel good about the work that they do.
If you are one of those parents who struggles with work that doesn't always satisfy, there are things you can do to bring a little joy and satisfaction back to your work (in lieu of finding a completely new job). Here are four things that worked for me while I worked for my metro Detroit corporate employer.
Offer to work on projects that showcase a different set of talents
Though I was employed as a manufacturing engineer, I hankered to work on projects that were less linear in nature. Therefore, I volunteered for projects that showcased a more creative side, thus expanding my skill set and adding some much needed variety to daily work. If you are similarly employed, offer to volunteer for a project that exercises hidden skills and talents.
Try to understand co-workers better
Fellow employees are often like family; you get to choose your friends, but not family - and generally not your co-workers either. You may find yourself working closely with someone whose background, education and work style differs completely from yours. Rather than feel threatened, look at these differences as an opportunity to tap into talents that help you do your job better. As a bonus, you may acquire a friend or two along the way.
Remind yourself of your contribution to the workplace
There are likely are a few skills you've acquired that would make the workplace as it is today less effective without you. Or perhaps you're reminded in your annual review of the things you do well that are noticed and appreciated by key higher-ups. Keep these in mind and remind yourself of the important role you play at work.
Consider a flexible work schedule
I was fortunate that I was able to work part-time for many years, and telecommuted two days a week after I returned full-time. This type of flexibility made me appreciate my employer as I was able to achieve a better balance between work and home. If this is something you'd like to consider, check with your Human Resources department or manager about setting up a flexible schedule. Most corporate employers offer work/life balance programs as a way to keep good employees in the workforce.

For most successful filmmakers putting out a film that's well received by an audience and your peers is the pinnacle of success on a project, but if your film then goes on to inspire others to jump into the fray and give proof to the mantra of 'just get out there and shoot,' then you know you've got something very special on your hands. Director Ayz Waraich has both entertained and inspired with his short White Red Panic and joins us to discuss his call to arms film.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Maggie Lucas scored 24 points, leading No. 9 Penn State past Minnesota 78-74 in Friday's Big Ten tournament quarterfinals.
The top-seeded Nittany Lions (24-5) trailed by as much as 13 in the first half and will face either fourth-seeded Purdue or fifth-seeded Michigan State in Saturday's semifinals.
Minnesota (15-17) was led by freshman Rachel Banham with 25 points, not enough to avoid its third loss of the season to the Big Ten regular-season champs.
Penn State used a late 11-3 run to get within 36-29 at halftime, then scored the first six points of the second half and used a 10-0 run to take a 45-38 lead with 14:20 to play. The Golden Gophers closed to 73-71 with 26.9 seconds to go but Penn State sealed it with free throws.

Perfectly-timed photos can be funny enough on their own, but they're so much better when they've got a goofy-looking dog for an unwitting participant as well. If you've captured a silly dog photo of your own, share it with us below!

Tonight the Cipher team brings you another up and coming MC. Back to the foundation that BKS1 Radio was built on, bringing you the best kept secrets in the entertainment industry. The up and coming artists have that hunger and drive that many of the established artists has lost. Wanting to show the masses that hip hop isn't dead in any shape form or fashion, they go hard to bring witty lyrics, strong punch lines and catchy hooks. Lets see if Jaecyn can continue with this formula that the past best kept secrets have delivered here on the Cipher show.
Featured Artist: Jaecyn Bayne
Born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1982 Terrell Porter better known as Jaecyn Bayne spent his childhood infatuated with Hip-Hop. From the sounds of Rakim, Jay-Z, Lauren Hill and more, as a teenager Bayne had no idea how the sounds of his favorite artists would provide the passion he holds so dear today in the design and craft of his own music.
Moving to Indianapolis, IN at the age of 15 Bayne continued to build his repertoire of musical favorites while truly embracing everything Hip-Hop culture had to offer. It wasn't until several years later where Terrell Porter decided to embrace his love for the music and culture and become the artist the world now knows as Jaecyn Bayne.
Fast forward to the year 2012 where Jaecyn Bayne has risen through the ranks of local new guy to famed and herald nationally known emcee. Bayne's talent on the mic was easily apparent to all the right people who lent their assistance along the way which led to Bayne uniting with a team of producers and emcee's known as Concrete Beats. Even as a new head on the scene recording his first tunes, Bayne's prowess was strong enough to command stages alongside the likes of Too-Short, Mobb Deep, Lil Jon, Raekwon + Ghostface, Wiz Khalifa, Planet Asia, and more as Bayne's buzz for his live stage show and vivid wordplay quickly became a hot topic of discussion in Indianapolis.
In 2008, Jaecyn's music and presence in the city caught the attention of another Artist and A&R known as M-Eighty who had recently moved back to Indianapolis from the Bay Area. Jaecyn and M-Eighty instantly clicked and M-Eighty was very anxious to add Jaecyn's talents to his A&R roster consisting of Wu-Tang, Canibus, Redman, Keith Murray, Planet Asia, and more. Jaecyn got his 1st big national break in 2009 appearing on Canibus' "Melatonin Magik" album which debuted at #94 on the Billboard Hip-Hop & R&B Top 200 charts.
That appearance would also earn Bayne a spot of Canibus' 25 city 2009 United States tour where Jaecyn would finally have the opportunity to display his talents to a much broader and critical audience. Audiences throughout the United States accepted Bayne as one of Hip-Hop's burgeoning new talents and praised him for his lyricism, storytelling abilities, and humble personality. Critics have compared him to such emerging talents as Kendrick Lamar, Curren$y, Fashawn, and Phonte (Little Brother / Foreign Exchange) as Bayne continues to navigate his own lane in Hip-Hop. In 2010, Bayne hooked up with a famed Jazz group "The Headhunters" of former Herbie Hancock fame and was personally selected to appear on the group's first single titled "Funk Wit Us (D-Funk)" featuring Snoop Dogg, George Clinton, & Killah Priest (Wu-Tang). Impressed by Bayne's content, delivery and charisma, The Headhunters featured Jaecyn prominently on their album "Platinum".
The album was given top honors by Jazz and Progressive music enthusiasts alike as one of the finest contemporary releases of 2011. Bayne's vocal appearances alongside Canibus and the Headhunters coupled with his new found love for the open road and live showmanship and the growing popularity of a free weekly freestyle series Bayne started in the name "Audio Therapy" all played a part in his 2011 signing to Owl Studios / Allegro Distribution. After a year of more press, more shows, and non-stop album construction, Jaecyn Bayne's National Debut "Audio Therapy: The Album" is slated for a May 8, 2012 release. The album boasts an all-star line-up of features and producers including Styles P, Fred the Godson, Canibus, Street Runner, Bronze Nazareth, MIZBEATS, J. French, and more.

by Staci
(San Diego)
I just got off the phone with the EDD interviewer "Paul". I, like most others here, became unemployed and registered for school about 5 months after looking, looking and looking for a job.
I didn't research before-hand and had my benefits suspended pending the phone interview. When Paul called, he asked my usual occupation, what the hours were, and if I was offered a full time job would I accept it and drop school? I told him like a hot rock! He never asked me if I was getting funds, loans, grants or otherwise. We spoke for about 10 minutes, he asked why I had enrolled into school, I told him to advance my skills and to ward off cabin fever.
Paul told me because of my willingness to drop school and accept a job, I was still eligible for UI Benifits, he'll send my check out today along with my claim forms for the other weeks.
Turned out WAY better than I thought it was going to!!!
I think your answer .. "Like a hot rock" should be the answer for everyone in California that is going to school and in a lot of other states as well.
Where might this be implied to be the correct answer?
In the current years Nonmonetary Eligibility Chartbook, in the table labeled "treatment of students"
Thanks Staci, for doing things the right way and not having to ask a question .. about how to undo a mistake that can't be undone when you try to avoid the interview .. which is when I start worrying that checking on grants and government loans for school a person has accepted .. might be used to prove a misrepresentation issue for the way the questions were answered on the continuing claim form.

President's Policy Statement
Florida Institute of Technology is an equal opportunity employer. As evidence of its commitment to the principles of equal opportunity and affirmative action, the following policy has been established:
The university, through its employment practices and procedures, seeks and employs qualified staff for all its diverse activities and at all of its facilities. It further believes that employment decisions should be based on an individual's abilities and qualifications and should not be based on irrelevant factors or personal characteristics that have no connection with job performance.
The university is committed to compliance with all applicable laws regarding nondiscrimination. Therefore, the university provides equal opportunities during employment by administering each and every phase of its personnel program without regard to race, sex, color, religion, national origin or ancestry, age, genetic information, disability, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other classification protected by applicable discrimination laws. It shall exert its leadership for the achievement of this goal by all parties, students or employees of the university.
It is the policy of the university that all employees should enjoy a working environment free from all forms of discrimination, including sexual harassment. No employee, either male or female, should be subjected to unsolicited and unwelcome sexual overtures or conduct, either verbal or physical.
Sexual harassment lowers morale and is damaging to the work environment. Therefore, the university will treat sexual harassment like any other form of employee misconduct—it will not be tolerated.
Specifically, it is illegal and against the policies of this university for any employee, male or female, to sexually harass another employee by: (1) making unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature a condition of an employee's continued employment; (2) making submission to or rejections of such conduct the basis for employment decisions affecting the employee; or (3) creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment by such conduct.
The university will enforce disciplinary action, up to and including discharge, against any person who threatens or insinuates, either explicitly or implicitly, that an employee's refusal to submit to sexual advances will adversely affect the employee's employment, evaluation, wages, advancement, assigned duties, shifts or any condition of employment or career development.
The university recognizes that the question of whether a particular action or incident is a purely personal, social relationship without a discriminatory employment effect requires a factual determination based on all facts in each case. Therefore, the university will act positively to investigate alleged sexual harassment claims and take steps to effectively remedy them when an allegation is determined to be valid.
Given the nature of this type of discrimination, the university also recognizes that false accusations of sexual harassment can have serious effects on innocent men and women. Therefore, false accusations will result in the same severe disciplinary action applicable to one found guilty of sexual harassment.
Any employee who has a complaint of sexual harassment at work by anyone, including supervisors, coworkers or visitors, must bring the problem to the attention of responsible university officials. Employees may bring their complaint to their supervisor or the Office of Human Resources. If the complaint involves someone in the employee's direct line of supervision, then the employee may go to another supervisor with the complaint.

Yesterday, fathers everywhere came to celebrate their special day (i.e., Father's Day) by downing a brew or three at the Ale Asylum Brewpub in Madison, Wisconsin. As for Ale Asylum, it celebrated Father's Day by featuring three aged beers at its Aged Asylum event. The aged beers were as follows:
Sticky McDoogle (aged 3 years)
Bamboozleator (aged 2 years)
Tripel Nova (aged 1 year)
The aged beers were tapped at the rate of one per hour starting at 3PM. This made for a nice anticipation on the part of the attending crowd. I myself tried the Bamboozleator at 4PM and then the much awaited Tripel Nova at 5PM. The Bamboozleator is a 7.8% ABV Doppelbock beer that has a defined malty caramel taste. It was a very smooth beer to imbibe. Since I had not tried the Bamboozleator before, I couldn't really define the differences in this 2 year old brew versus its younger self.
The Tripel Nova is a 10% ABV Belgian-style beer with hints of sweetness resulting from the addition of candi sugar to increase alcohol percentage. I had tried this beer before and liked the way that the one year aging process softened some of the alcohol "bite" of this beer, making it more mellow.
I didn't try the three year old Sticky McDoogle, which is a 7.2% ABV Scotch Ale; however, another customer noted that the aging process had made Sticky's hop character more subdued. This did not make the beer more appealing, since the beer's inherent hoppiness gives its malty flavor a clean finish.
In addition to serving these impeccable beers, Ale Asylum also helped support St. Mark's Food Pantry at its Aged Asylum event yesterday. Those patrons that brought in canned goods for the pantry were provided with a beer ticket for a free non-aged beer. I used my ticket to get the Bedlam IPA, which is a 7.5% ABV Belgian-style beer made with Citra hops. This beer, though dubbed an IPA, is quite mellow on its hops bitterness; you smell more than taste the hops presence in this beer.
Ale Asylum had also advertised a bean bag toss, called Asylum Bags, to help St. Mark's Friday Meal program. Unfortunately, I either missed this bean bag toss or, due to the crowds, it had just not been set up. The bean bag toss was supposed to occur from 3-6PM.
In order to better enjoy these brewskies and remain seated on my bar stool, I ordered a Falbo Brothers Anniversary pizza made with 10 year old aged Carr Valley Cheddar, Madtown Nutbrown Ale infused bratwurst, mozzarella, caramelized onions and Horsey Dijon mustard sauce. The pizza came with a side of kraut. The pizza tasted much like a brat except that it looked like a pizza. The Anniversary pizzas lasted only until about 6PM before they had been sold out.
The Aged Asylum event is one of the last events for the original Ale Asylum brewery and brewpub. Very soon, Ale Asylum will be moving to its new 45,000-square-foot location at the intersection of Packers Avenue and International Lane. This new place will be about six times the size of the original Ale Asylum location, with a capacity to brew 50,000 barels of beer annually.

hello! I recently received one of your NC home signs as a gift and I love it!:) I was wondering if you did custom signs as well? My thought is to have the same sign as the NC sign, but with the state of California on it instead and have it say "heart" (instead of home)…..as well as one with Pennsylvania that says "heart". (My husband and I are from California and Pennsylvania….you always leave your heart where your roots are;)) Please let me know if this is something you can do.
Thank you so much!

text: They say "wee beastie" which is perhaps modern pig gaelic for "bunny rabbit" but then in the tasting notes they say that water "releases the beast" so the marketing literature is unhelpful in that regard. Probably leaves the master blenders shaking their heads but no more than in any other industry where the workers ask, "They say it does what!?! Doesn't but now I guess we'll have to make it..."

Map of the South Carolina Coast
Map of the South Carolina Coast
Finely-detailed, archival reproduction of an antique map of South Carolina from c1711 printed on acid-free, 100% cotton rag fine art paper with a matte finish and archival pigment inks.
Map Details
Title: A Compleat Description of the Province of Carolina in 3 Parts
Year: c1711
Language: English
Creator: Edward Crisp
Main map shows the coast of South Carolina from the Savannah River to the Sewee River. Includes 4 inset maps: "A map of South Carolina shewing the settlements of the English, French, and Indian nations from Charles Town to the River Missisipi", "A New Chart of the Coast of Carolina and Florida from Cape Henry to the Havana in the Island of Cuba", "The Town and Harbour of St Augustin", and "A Plan of the Town and Harbour of Charles Town".
About Sizes & Borders
Where possible, we try to offer print sizes that match modern standard size frames, but since many antique maps were printed with different proportions than modern standard sizes, this is not always possible. The most common standard size frames are 8"x10", 11"x14", and 16"x20". These sizes are widely available in any store that sells frames. Less common standard sizes are 8"x8", 8"x12", 9"x12", 10"x15", 12"x12", 12"x16", 12"x18", and 16"x16". These sizes are available in most well-stocked stores that sell frames.
If you purchase a print that is not one of these standard sizes, you will most likely have to go to a frame shop to purchase a custom frame, or use one of the many online custom frame vendors.
For each size this map is offered in, you can purchase a print with either the 'no borders' or the 'plus 1/2" borders' option.
For prints with the 'no borders' option, the size listed will be the exact size of the printed area as well as the exact size of the paper. For example, a size of 11"x14" (no borders) means the exact size of the printed area will be 11"x14" and the exact size of the paper will also be 11"x14". This is a good option if you plan to frame the print in a frame without a mat.
For prints with the 'plus 1/2" borders' option, an additional 1/2" blank border will be added to each side. For example, a size of 11"x14" (plus 1/2" borders) means the exact size of the printed area will be 11"x14" and the exact size of the paper will be 12"x15". This is a good option if you plan to frame the print in a frame with a mat so there is overlap between the mat and the print.
We love to customize! In most cases we can make this map available in sizes different than those listed above or with different borders. Please contact us before you place your order to see if the customization you have in mind is possible. Please also note that we generally do not accept returns for products with customizations. See our returns policy for more information.

The Financially Constrained Long-Range Transportation Plan (CLRP) must meet federal requirements as established in the final U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) transportation planning regulations related to MAP-21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century), the federal transportation authorization bill passed in 2012. The regulations established new requirements and reaffirmed existing requirements for metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in developing long-range transportation plans. Major new requirements are noted in the text boxes below and include the development of a participation plan, a congestion Management Process, environmental consultation and a transportation safety element. Follow the links below to learn how the TPB met the wide range of federal regulations in its transportation planning efforts.
The TPB must make sure that the projects in the CLRP and TIP, taken collectively, support the attainment of the federal health standards. This is a requirement of the federal Clean Air Act. The plan's air quality conformity assessment included (1) comparing forecasted mobile source emissions to emissions ceilings (called "mobile emissions budgets") for volatile organic compounds (VOC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) established in the air quality plans for the region; and (2) comparing forecasted mobile source emissions of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and precursor NOx (vehicle emissions which lead to additional PM2.5 formulation) with base year 2002 levels to ensure such emissions do not increase through time . The conformity analysis found that forecasts of mobile emissions for VOC, NOx, and CO are within required budgets for the forecast years of 2015, 2017, 2020, 2025, 2030, and 2040. The analysis also found that forecasts of PM2.5 emissions are signficantly lower than base year 2002 levels.
Back to Top
In 2007, the TPB established a Congestion Management Process (CMP) which provides information on transportation system performance, and to consider alternative strategies to alleviate congestion and enhance the mobility of persons and goods. The CMP has four main components: 1) Congestion monitoring of major highways; 2) Identification and analysis of strategies to alleviate congestion; 3) Implementation of reasonable strategies and an assessment of their effectiveness and 4) Integration of strategies into major roadway construction projects. With the CMP, the TPB aims to use existing and future transportation facilities efficiently and effectively, reducing the need for highway capacity increases for single-occupant vehicles (SOVs).
The eight federal planning factors are encompassed by the TPB Vision and are considered when developing the CLRP. Each planning factor is included in one or more of the TPB Vision goals, objectives and strategies, except for security, which is implicitly addressed in the TPB Vision. In the Call for Projects for the CLRP, the implementing agencies were asked to consider the TPB Vision in developing their project submissions and to identify which planning factors are addressed by the project. The planning regulations added safety and security as two separate planning factors, which are addressed by the TPB in on-going planning activities.
The TPB consulted with natural resource, conservation, environmental protection and historic preservation agencies regarding the development of the CLRP. These agencies provided comments on the plan, contacts for future engagement and environmental GIS data. This regional data was used to create maps of environmentally and/or culturally sensitive areas for comparison with the CLRP. The CLRP also includes an environmental mitigation discussion which identifies potential activities to moderate the environmental impacts of the long range transportation plan.
To ensure on-going participation from low-income and minority communities and persons with disabilities, the TPB created the Access for All (AFA) Advisory Committee in 2001 to advise the Board on transportation issues, programs, policies, and services that are important to these communities and individuals. The TPB Access for All Advisory (AFA) Committee has developed recommendations to improve transportation services for people with disabilities and older adults. Each year, the AFA comments on the Draft CLRP. In addition, The TPB's Coordinated Human Service Transportation Plan, updated in December 2009, identities unmet transportation needs for people with disabilities, low-income individuals and older adults. The Coordinated Plan guides the selection of projects to be funded by the TPB's Federal Transit Administration Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC) and New Freedom Programs. The TPB also has Language Assistance Plan and follows the COG accommodations policy to provide access to documents, meetings or any other planning activities limited English proficiency populations and those with disabilities.
The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG), as the administrative agent for the TPB, adopted the "Title VI Plan To Ensure Nondiscrimination in all Programs and Activities" which includes a policy statement, Title VI assurances and nondiscrimination complaint procedures. The Title VI Plan describes how COG and the TPB meet a number of Title VI requirements. As part of the TPB's activities to ensure nondiscrimination, the CLRP is analyzed to ensure that low-income, minority and disabled populations are not disproportionately and adversely affected.
The TPB became more involved with human service transportation coordination efforts to improve transportation for low-income populations, persons with disabilities and older adults. The TPB established a Task Force to work on this topic, approved a Coordinated Human Service Transportation Plan in April 2007 (updated in December 2009) and conducted its fourth solicitation for Job Access Reverse Commute and New Freedom Funds as the designated recipient for these Federal Transit Administration programs in the Washington DC-VA-MD Urbanized Area. In all, 35 projects have been funded to date. The preparation of the Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan was coordinated and is consistent with the CLRP.
The financial plan for the CLRP demonstrates that the forecast revenues reasonably expected to be available are equal to the estimated costs of expanding and adequately maintaining and operating the highway and transit system in the region through 2040. The forecasts were prepared by the transportation implementing agencies and jurisdictions, with technical integration and documentation provided by consultants.
On July 21, 2010 the TPB approved the National Capital Region Freight Plan for 2010 - the first freight plan for the Metropolitan Washington area. It fefines the role of freight in the region, provides information on current and forecasted conditions, identifies regional freight concerns such as safety and security, and includes a National Capital Region Freight Project Database.
The TPB's Freight Subcommittee has been active since 2008. The Subcommittee meets regularly to exchange information among stakeholders and provide advice to the TPB on regional freight issues. The Subcommittee also conducts occasional site visits such as to the CSX Transportation rail facilities in Washington. TPB staff maintains contact with the freight community via a monthly e-newsletter, Focus on Freight. Additional outreach efforts include attending nearby MPO meetings, freight-related association meetings, and maintaining a TPB Freight Program Web Site. TPB staff also expanded the content of the freight planning portion of the CLRP web site.
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are the application of current and evolving computer and communications technology to transportation systems. The benefits seen from ITS have uncovered another key aspect of transportation systems—management and operations (M&O) – maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of the transportation system. To address these issues, the TPB has a Management, Operations and Intelligent Transportation Systems (MOITS) Policy Task Force and MOITS Technical Subcommittee. Related programs include the Metropolitan Area Transportation Operations Coordination (MATOC) Program, the Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Architecture and the Traffic Signals Subcommittee.
With the assistance of and in cooperation with the transportation implementing agencies in the region, the TPB has prepared an annual listing of projects for which federal funds have been obligated each year since 2001.
In the Washington Metropolitan region, the roles and responsibilities involving the TPB, the three state DOTs, the local government transportation agencies, WMATA and the state and local government public transportation operators for cooperatively carrying out transportation planning and programming have been established over several years. As required under the final planning regulations, the TPB, the state DOTs and the public transportation operators have documented their transportation planning roles and responsibilities in the Washington Metropolitan Region in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that was executed by all parties on January 16, 2008.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) conducted a joint review of the TPB's planning process during an on-site visit April 19 and 20, 2010. The Federal team also met with the Citizens Advisory Committee and the Access for All Advisory Committee to discuss public involvement. Under Federal Planning regulations FHWA and FTA must review and certify that the TPB's planning process meets the requirements of the Metropolitan Transportation Rule at 23 CFR Part 450 Subpart C and 49 CFR part 613 every four years. In a May 2011 report, FHWA and FTA determined that the TPB met the planning requirements.
The TPB updates both the CLRP every year and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) every two years. Typically, projects are submitted for inclusion in the air quality conformity analysis of the CLRP in the winter or spring, are released for public comment, and then are approved by the TPB for air quality conformity testing. A travel demand and emissions analysis is conducted, and then the Draft CLRP, TIP and air quality conformity analysis are released for another public comment period in late summer or fall, after which time the TPB is asked to approve the three documents.
Each year, the TPB adopts a Unified Planning Work Program that incorporates all federally-assisted state, regional and local transportation planning activities proposed to be undertaken in one document. The UPWP describes all work activities utilizing federal funding and details the tasks and budgets that will be accomplished each year to meet the federal planning requirements, such as preparing the TIP and updating the CLRP.
A Participation Plan has been developed that articulates the TPB's commitment to a transparent interface with the public and with relevant public agencies to support the regional transportation planning process, including the development of the CLRP. The long-range plan had two public comment periods during its development; the first was held from February 10 to March 12, 2011 on the projects to be included in the air quality conformity analysis, and the second was held from October 13 to November 12, 2011 on the draft 2011 CLRP and the draft air quality conformity determination.
The TPB has two standing citizen committees: The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), the main standing body for providing citizen input into the deliberations of the TPB; and the Access for All (AFA) Advisory Committee which provides input to the TPB on concerns of low-income individuals, minority individuals and persons with disabilities.
Transportation plays multifaceted roles in incidents and emergencies. The need for coordination among transportation agencies during incidents having multi-jurisdictional or regional impacts fostered creation of the Metropolitan Area Transportation Operations Coordination (MATOC) Program. The MATOC Program aims to advise agencies as they respond to major incidents, through improved technological data sharing systems, coordinated operating and notification procedures, and better availability of transportation information for the public.
In declared emergencies and major disasters, transportation becomes one of a number of support functions to a public safety agency-led response. Regionally, public safety and emergency management planning are addressed under the auspices of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) Board of Directors and its group of public safety programs and committees. The COG Board is advised by the National Capital Region Emergency Preparedness Council on regional preparedness planning matters, as well as by a number of specialized public safety committees in theHomeland Security Program. The TPB and its programs maintain liaison with the COG programs, and provide technical transportation expertise as necessary.
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a 6-year financial program that describes the schedule for obligating federal funds to state and local projects. The TIP contains funding information for all modes of transportation including highways and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities as well as transit capital and operating costs. The TIP represents an agency's intent to construct or implement a specific project and the anticipated flow of federal funds and matching state or local contributions. State, regional and local transportation agencies update the TIP each year to reflect priority projects in the CLRP. A public forum was held during the course of the development of the TIP on June 14, 2012. The FY 2013-2018 TIP is available online and in a searchable database.
The Transportation Safety Element of the CLRP integrates the important topic of safety in the planning process, including tracking safety funding in the TIP, sharing best practices, regional traffic safety data compilation and sharing, participation in the State Highway Safety planning process, and coordination of the metropolitan planning aspects of state, regional, and local safety efforts, especially education and enforcement. A Transportation Safety Subcommittee of the TPB advises staff on the Safety Element and Safety programs.
The TPB conducts a yearly "Street Smart" campaign to raise awareness and promote safer behavior among drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists.

FORT WORTH - Texas Tech didn't need to shoot well to win.
Aleah Johnson scored 17 points to help No. 7 Texas Tech overcome a poor-shooting second half in a 63-57 victory over TCU on Wednesday night.
"I thought our shot selection was not bad - we just couldn't make anything," said Texas Tech coach Marsha Sharp. "Luckily we played defense well enough to win."
Texas Tech (10-0) improved on its best start in school history and extended its winning streak over TCU to 35 games.
Johnson scored six of the game's first 12 points as Texas Tech jumped out to a 10-2 lead in the first four minutes.
TCU got within 3 points on three separate occasions in the first half, but trailed 42-33 at the half after Melinda Schumucker-Pharies and Amber Tarr hit 3-pointers in the final minute.
"We felt like we had to run some help in the post because we're not very deep there," TCU coach Jeff Mittie said. "We gambled on their perimeter shooting and they made us pay in the first half."
Texas Tech shot 59 percent in the first half, but went cold in the second, making just 8 of 27 shots (29 percent).
TCU (7-5) was unable to capitalize because of its own poor shooting. The Lady Frogs hit just 7 of 25 shots (28 percent).
"We could have (won). The opportunities were there," said TCU's Tricia Payne, who had a game-high 19 points. "A shot here, a stop there and we would have won the game. We definitely had our chances, but just didn't take advantage."

This girl is darling. Teetering on the edges of soul, hip-hop, electronic, and reggae, Belgian singer Selah Sue has got one of those distinct cooing voices reminiscent of Nneka. Watch her most recent video above which features the track, "This World."
Initially just another unassuming angsty teenager posting song drafts on MySpace, Selah's music heavily resonated with a surprise internet audience and in just two short years' time, has landed her the opportunity to work with Cee-Lo, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Prince.
Her debut self-titled album is set to come out in the US soon and features production from Farhot, who also produced for Nneka.

The Grey Knit
As a staple in any wardrobe, the grey knit is timeless throughout the seasons and can work wonderfully with any outfit, treading the line between casual and smart depending on what it's combined with.
The Checked Shirt
The checked shirt, which was once the preserve of lumberjacks and punks, has been on-trend for two or three years and doesn't seem to be going anywhere – especially with new designs gracing shop shelves each year!
The Tan Boots
While they are certainly flexible, tan boots are a fashion must that should be paired with certain things in particular to get the best look. Women should look to skirts, while men should opt for darker clothing on their bottom half to provide marked contrast.
