Almost back to reality
Tuesday, January 08, 2013
Day after tomorrow I head back to Greenville, then it's back to reality. Although I'm a little nervous about trying to fit all the puzzle pieces together, I'm also very excited to get back to my life and finishing school. It never occurred to me when I came to visit my Mom for 5 weeks how difficult this would be. Don't get me wrong I've enjoyed our time together, and it's been great to see so many of my friends I never get to see when I just come in for a weekend. But it has still been a real challenge to learn how to live with my Mom again after being on my own for so long. Plus, I just feel like my life has been put on hold. So as much as I have enjoyed this adventure, I'm ready to get my life back to being the chaotic mess I'm used to. I have discovered from this vacation that I do better when I'm busy. I have had tons of time to watch movies, read books for pleasure, and catch up on stuff that gets put off when I'm busy. The problem is I don't have a deadline so nothing actually gets done. I wake up do virtually nothing and the next thing I know the day is over & I'm complaining that I got nothing accomplished. Thankfully I have gotten that under control in the last few days, despite that fact I'm still ready for some normalcy in my life. I know it's going to take some extra effort to keep up with school, the gym, eating healthy, and making time for friends but I also know it's totally worth it. I can do anything once I make up my mind to, and right now I have the drive and determination. Today has been extremely rewarding as I have accomplished most of my to-do list and it's only 4:30. I got up and got started early today and have made real progress. The challenge today? Since I'm leaving town Thursday, I'm going to dinner with friends at B-Dubs (Buffalo Wild Wings), and after looking over the menu it doesn't look very promising. I am planning what to order now based on my calories left & once I have a plan in place I'm sure I'll do fine. Unfortunately, all the fried foods on the menu that I love don't fall in my calorie range. Surprisingly I'm not worried about it. I proved to myself the other day that I'm capable of eating out without ruining my progress, and I know I can do it again.

It certainly seems easier to get things done when you're busy. I know that when my schedule is open, things just keep getting put off. I hope you enjoyed Buffalo Wild Wings, without going too crazy! Best of luck to you when you get back to school, I'm sure you'll do well!

"The problem is I don't have a deadline" I had the same problem when I first decided to stay at home with my daughter. After teaching in a very routine environment with stressful bosses, co-teachers (the students were the EASY part)..so I made my own deadlines, and if I didn't stick to them I sat down and wrote out a schedule for myself
Helped me keep some sanity.
Good luck!

Most trim applications are placed along a flat wall with square corners. Even if you've never worked with moulding before, the installation process is simple and easy to figure out. When you encounter a curve, however, the moulding is not only more difficult to install but often needs to be custom made. Wood does bend, but only when its thin enough to allow the fibers to flex. This article demonstrates a tried and true method for bending wood in any specie. For painted applications it should be noted that there are other alternatives such as flexible man-made composites. These materials are ready to bend right out of the box and can be machined to match your selected moulding profile. Suppliers would include Flex Moulding, or Flexible Moulding Concepts.
Bending solid wood can be accomplished using several techniques. The two most common are steam-bending and laminating. Each has its own merits. Steam-bending allows the user to bend single-piece, thicker members. The disadvantage is it requires special equipment and a lot of trial and error to dial in the specifics. The simplest method is laminate bending. Wood is cut into thin strips, usually around 1/8" thick depending on specie. Glue is applied to each strip and the assembly is clamped around a form made to the desired radius. When the glue has cured the material is cut and profiled to the desired shape. The process certainly takes more time than working a flat moulding application, but with a little practice it can be done quickly and efficiently.

The new Mayor of Calderdale Patricia Allen was sworn in at the mayor making ceremony at Halifax Town Hall this afternoon.
Mayor Allen takes over the duties of retiring mayor Ann Martin, who represented Calderdale along with her deputy Lisa Lambert.
Councillor Malcolm James was sworn in a deputy mayor.
In her inaugural speech, Mayor Allen said: "I am much looking forward to the year ahead, especially next month when the Tour de Frace cines through Calderdale.
"It's a diverse community that I will be very proud to represent."

The Brookings-Harbor High School softball team's lone run came in the top of the seventh on a towering shot to right-center field that bounced past the outstretched hands of a diving Phoenix outfielder, rolled to the fence and left senior Kayla Webre standing on third with a huge smile after scoring teammate Megan Strain.
"It felt great," Webre said. "It was one of those things that I struggled with this season; watching the ball and having confidence in myself. I was kind of like, 'this is it.' I'm proud that I was able to do something that I've been struggling with.
"That was the time to do it."
Teammate Hanna Baron agreed.
"That seriously made my day," Baron said. "I didn't want to leave not having anything on the board, so I'm glad we got at least one run."
The Bruins recorded just two hits all game, with Strain getting on base through a fielder's choice play prior to scoring the run on Webre's triple.
Mariahn Seavello recorded the other hit for the Lady Bruins in the first inning but they were unable to capitalize on the hard grounder.
The Bruins struck out 12 times to Phoenix's starting pitcher, Meranda Zanni, and while Bruins' starting pitcher Hanna Goergen pitched well — she only walked two Phoenix batters — she gave up hits to all but three of the Lady Pirates and recorded two earned runs. The Pirates' other four runs came on fielding errors by the Bruins.
"I wouldn't say 'disappointed' in the way we played because we tried our hardest," Baron said, "but maybe we needed to be more mentally prepared for this game, I don't know."
Head Coach Steve Bonde was disappointed with the end to the season being a loss, but is looking forward to next season already.
"We brought some girls up from the JV squad and they played their hearts out," Bonde said. "Cassidy Chandler had a great catch in the first inning that almost knocked her off her feet, and we had some great plays.
"It's just disappointing to lose in the playoffs."
Webre, the only senior to see playing time in the game, wasn't disappointed in the loss, but saddened.
"It's sad because I know our potential," she said. "If we would have just gotten the bats started, we would have gone to great things. I'm sad but I know they'll do great thing next year."
"I'm proud of us because we were pretty solid despite a few things," she added. "I'm proud of my team."
The Bruins finished the season in third place in the Far West League with a 9-6 league record, 13-11 overall.

Free plant stock is rare, unless you know what to look for. It may already be in your ground, waiting to be recognized.
You also have to not be spraying herbicides and weed killers, as many free native varieties are often seen as weeds!
Catnip is everywhere in Michigan, it's in the Mint family and has a square stem; along with all the other mint varieties. If you have Cats, it's priceless! Michigan grows fantastic Catnip!
Wild Violets are abundant in Michigan, and are just popping out in early spring, usually in patches, possibly by rivers; and woodland areas. They are tubers buried in the ground, and when conditions are right, they take hold and flourish. Flint has Wild Violets.
Spiderwort is everywhere as well. Once a popular garden plant, it grows well in Michigan weather, and shows up when totally unexpected; when conditions are right for it to flourish. Often, all that is required is some naturalization techniques, and the elimination of foot, or dog, traffic.
Milkweed, often scourged as a nuisance, is vital to Monarch Butterflies, and quite striking when left to grow and go to seed.
Some other Mints can turn up, Spearmint, Peppermint, and some Lemon mints...will often grow wild among flower beds; especially if you have an heirloom situation with old beds and old plant stock.
Birds and animals can bring any number of additions of seeds to your garden, particularly if you happen to provide habitat for them. Volunteer Berry bushes and Sunflowers are possibilities, and anything else in a birds diet of seeds, is possible. In Flint, the Mulberry is abundant, thanks to the birds.
Depending on where you live, many native plants are the easiest to cultivate, and flourish in our 'harsh' (the 4 seasons of Michigan) weather changes. Wild Onions, Asparagus, Rhubarb, and good old Dandelion are all Michigan hardy food sources; and volunteer tomatoes are not rare!
If there's nothing but bare ground where you are, consider a compost pile and bird feeder to improve your chances. The secret is to not rip out the little green shoots that we all call weeds. They are something! There isn't a plant called "weed", with the exception of the marijuana plant we are all so familiar with.
Nettles, Purslane, and Clover...a perfectionist's nightmare, are often the plants sprayed out of the cracks. The dark green plant with the watermelon shaped leaf, that grows in a rosette formation, can be used on a bee sting to remove the swelling; a remedy my Grandmother used.
It's not easy to identify 'sprouts' from one another, one green shoot looks like all the others, generally. It's in letting them grow that the identification process can happen. Often some part of the plant will give clues to follow; such as scent, shape (like the square stem of the mint family), flower, or lack of flower? Is it growing in full sun, full shade, or a combination of both? What is the leaf pattern in relationship to the stem, and what is the texture or pattern on the leaf? Moss is a good example, it is most often on the North-side of an object or exposure; because it requires a great deal of shade and moisture.
Volunteer Ferns are also out there waiting for conditions to be right, often a mere digging in the soil, turning the topsoil around will expose hidden seeds and spores waiting for air and warmth, to bring them to life. Newly dug flower beds are often full of wonderful little survivors laying dormant, that are now exposed to what is needed for their growing to begin.
Have you ever looked in your garden and wondered where did that come from? There you go! Volunteer plants!

In this video, Matt outlines the two ways investors can be affected by capital gains and explains how the portfolio management group at iShares works to minimize capital gains distributions.
The result of all that effort? In 2011, 99% of iShares funds did not pay capital gains distributions.

The 10th-ranked women's volleyball team closes out its regular-season home schedule this weekend when it hosts Washington State on Friday and #5 Washington on Saturday at Pauley Pavilion. Start times are 7 p.m. for both matches and Gametracker, as well as live audio and video with Darren Preston at the call, are available on UCLABruins.com. Prior to Saturday's match, seniors Rachell Johnson and Meghan Schoen will be recognized in their final regular-season home matches as Bruins.
The Bruins fell to 10th in this week's CSTV/AVCA Top 25 poll. The Pac-10, the toughest conference in the nation, boasts five of the top 10 teams in the country. Stanford is fourth, Washington fifth, California sixth and USC is ranked eighth. Oregon moved up six spots in this week's poll, giving the Pac-10 a sixth team in the Top 15 at 14th. For the first time since Nov. 13, 2006, the Bruins dropped out of the top five of the rankings after their loss to Oregon State on Oct. 12. In last week's Molten Volleyball Magazine poll, the Bruins were ranked 11th.
In taking a closer look at the UCLA women's volleyball jerseys, you will notice that the "C" is a different color than the "U", "L", "A" this season. The different color "C" signifies the roman numeral for 100 and celebrates the 100 NCAA Championships won by the Bruins. Women's volleyball has a hand in three of those national titles, winning NCAA championships in 1984, 1990 and 1991.
Washington State is still in search of its first Pac-10 victory, having lost all 14 league contests. Since opening the season with a 9-2 record, the Cougars have dropped 17 straight, winning just six games during their losing streak and getting swept 12 times. Senior Adetokunbo Faleti leads the offense with 3.32 kills per game. Sophomore Jackie Albright (2.99 kpg), senior Tara West (2.83 kpg) and junior Brittany Johnson (2.77 kpg) also lead the offense for the Cougars. Defensively, sophomore Kelly Hyder leads the way with 4.84 digs per game, while senior Maureen Perez sets the hitting attack with 11.05 assists per game. The Cougars hit .159 as a team with 15.45 digs and 2.69 blocks per game. Fourth-year head coach Brian Heffernan holds a 38-84 career record with the Cougars.
The Bruins have won nine straight against the Cougars, including a three-game sweep in Pullman on Oct. 19. Game scores were 33-31, 30-18, 30-23. UCLA rebounded after a .189 hitting attack in the first game to hit a combined .345 in the final two sets. Juniors Ali Daley (10 kills, 14 digs), Kaitlin Sather (17k, 10d) and Nellie Spicer (51 assists, 12 digs) all had double-doubles, while senior Rachell Johnson added 16 kills. Tara West was the lone Cougar in double figures in kills with 11, as Washington State hit just .164 with only six team blocks for the match. UCLA, which leads the all-time series 36-7, holds a 19-2 lead in matches played in Westwood and has won nine in a row at home against Washington State. The Cougars' last win in the series was a five-game victory in Pullman on Oct. 25, 2002 and their last triumph at Pauley Pavilion was a four-set win on Oct. 24, 1997.
Washington saw its 39-match home winning streak snapped by Stanford on Thursday in five games, but bounced back the following night to defeat California in four to remain tied in the loss column with the Cardinal for the Pac-10 lead. The Huskies' only two losses this season have come to Bay Area teams, with Washington suffering its first setback of the year after winning its first 16 matches at California in five games on Oct. 11. Washington has three players averaging over three kills a game, led by Stevie Mussie. The senior is averaging 4.15 kills per game to go along with 2.68 digs per game. Senior Christal Morrison is second at 3.93 kpg and 2.72 dpg, while freshman Becky Perry is posting 3.33 kpg. Freshman Jenna Hagglund handles the setting duties, recording 13.23 assists per game, while sophomore Tamari Miyashiro averages 5.38 digs per game at libero. Jim McLaughlin, in his seventh year at Washington, holds a 166-47 record with the Huskies and a 248-90 mark in nine-plus seasons of coaching.
Washington won its second straight against UCLA with a three-game sweep in Seattle on Oct. 18. Game scores were 30-20, 30-27, 30-26. Junior Ali Daley led the Bruins with 12 kills and 13 digs. Junior Kaitlin Sather added 12 kills, while senior Rachell Johnson posted 10 kills. The Bruins struggled to a .146 hitting attack and had just 4.5 team blocks. Christal Morrison and Stevie Mussie each had 13 kills for the Huskies, who hit .315 as a team. Becky Perry added 12 kills and Tamari Miyashiro posted 24 digs. The Bruins dominated the beginning of the series with 25 straight victories, but are 15-12 since then to post a 40-12 series advantage. The last two matches in Pauley Pavilion between the Bruins and the Huskies have both been five-gamers, with UCLA coming out on top each time. In 2005, the Huskies came back from 2-0 down, but UCLA won the fifth set to give head coach Andy Banachowski his 1,000th victory and spoil Washington's undefeated season. Last year, the Bruins dropped the first two sets but came back to win in five. The Huskies, who are 3-20 in Westwood, last won on Sept. 24, 2004 in four games.
The strongest part of the UCLA women's volleyball team match after match is their defense, with the Bruins' blocking and digging rising to the occasion against some of the most powerful offenses in the nation. Against Oregon State on Thursday, the Bruins set a season high in blocks for the second straight match, posting 20 against the Beavers. Four different players had at least five blocks, led by a career-best 10 for freshman Katie Mills. Senior Rachell Johnson had eight, while junior Ali Daley and freshman Dicey McGraw each posted five. The Bruins have double figures in blocks in 10 of the last 14 matches, as well as four straight. Mills leads the team in blocks at 1.49 per game and would be third among Pac-10 players, but she has not played in the necessary 66.7 percent of games to qualify. Mills' 1.49 bpg in conference matches places her second in the Pac-10. She also has posted a team-leading 10 matches with at least five blocks, including 19 in a pair of contests last weekend. Johnson, who posted a UCLA season-high 11 blocks against Arizona State on Sept. 21, has seven matches with at least five blocks, while Daley has six. Away from the net, junior Jessica Fine became the first player since Jordan Smith in 2005 to post 30 digs in one match against the Beavers. Fine, who made her first start at libero since Oct. 8, added 10 more digs against Oregon to record her fifth and sixth matches with double figures in digs. Junior Jade Machado leads the Bruins with 19 double-figure digs contests, while Daley has 17 and junior Nellie Spicer has 16. Machado's career-high in digs came against Oregon State, recording 29, while Daley had a personal-best 25 against the Beavers. As a team, the Bruins are first in the Pac-10 averaging 18.48 digs per game.
In the Bruins' first matchup against Oregon State on Oct. 12 at Pauley Pavilion, junior Ali Daley became the first UCLA player since Ashley Bowles in 2001 to post a 20-20 match, recording 26 kills and 25 digs. UCLA's second matchup against Oregon State proved to be another historic contest, with two players passing the 1,000-career kill mark and another posting the Bruins' first 30-dig match since 2005. Junior Jessica Fine had 30 digs to become the first Bruin since Jordan Smith (32) to accomplish that feat. Meanwhile, Daley reached another milestone with her 1,000th career kill against the Beavers. With 367 of Daley's kills coming during her freshman season at Long Beach State, she will have to wait one more season to join UCLA's 1,000-kill club, which welcomed its 23rd member when junior Kaitlin Sather joined the grand club against Oregon State.
The Bruins remained as the top-ranked digging team in the Pac-10, averaging 18.48 digs per game. UCLA is also in the top half of the conference in kills (4th, 16.27), assists (4th, 15.08), blocks (4th, 2.95) and aces per game (5th, 1.49). Individually, Ali Daley is in the Top 10 in aces per game (8th, 0.35) and points per game (9th, 4.72), while Nellie Spicer is fifth in assists at 12.55 apg. Jade Machado is eighth in digs per game at 3.70.
Junior setter Nellie Spicer continues to live up to her status as arguably the best setter in the country and will soon be considered the best setter in UCLA history. Spicer moved past Julie Bremner for third on UCLA's all-time assists list on Oct. 27 against California. With 4,251 assists for her career, Spicer will remain in third for the rest of the season before embarking on her trek towards the top of the standings in 2008. Second-place Ann Boyer has 5,667 assists, while the school leader is Erika Selsor at 6,234. Spicer had double-doubles in both matches last week to give her 16 on the season and 44 for her career. The junior equaled a season high with 60 assists to go along with 12 digs against Oregon State and followed that up with a 33-assist, 11-dig performance against Oregon. The junior has earned All-Tournament honors in all four tournaments the Bruins played in during the preseason, earning MVP accolades at the Hawaiian Airlines Classic and the UC Irvine Invitational. Spicer is fifth in the Pac-10 in assists at 12.55 apg.
At her current pace, junior outside hitter Ali Daley is going to have more double-doubles than an In-N-Out drive-thru window. Daley saw her seven-match double-double streak come to an end against Stanford on Oct. 26, but she has rebounded with three in a row, including a pair last week. Daley had 19 kills and 17 digs against the Beavers and posted 10 kills and 10 digs against the Ducks. The junior has 17 double-doubles this season and 23 for her UCLA career. Daley had a career night against Oregon State on Oct. 12. Despite the loss to the Beavers, Daley had 26 kills and 25 digs to post her first-ever 20-20 match. She was the first Bruin to attain a 20-20 contest since Ashley Bowles on Nov. 2, 2001. Daley has led the Bruins in kills 15 times this season, including six straight from Sept. 21 to Oct. 18, and also has a team-best 22 matches with double figures in kills. She has twice earned All-Tournament Team honors this season at the AVCA College Volleyball Showcase and the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Volleyball Classic. Her 3.90 kpg leads the team and she is second at 3.53 digs per game. Daley is also eighth in the conference in aces and ninth in points per game.
Pretty much nothing got past Katie Mills last weekend, as the freshman recorded 19 blocks in two matches, including a career-high 10 against Oregon State. Mills added 11 kills against the Beavers, which tied a career best and gave the freshman her first career double-double. Adding nine blocks the next night against Oregon, Mills has 62 roofs over the last 10 matches. She is averaging 1.49 blocks per game, which would be third in the Pac-10. However, Mills, who played sparingly during the non-conference schedule, has not played in the necessary 66.7 percent of games to qualify. Mills has led the Bruins in blocks in 11 matches, recording at least five roofs in 10 of those contests. Offensively, she is averaging 1.75 kills per game, hitting double figures twice with her pair of 11-kill contests.
Junior Kaitlin Sather became the 23rd Bruin to surpass the 1,000 career kill mark against Oregon State on Thursday and added her 12th and 13th double-doubles of the season last week. Sather posted 13 kills and 14 digs against the Beavers and followed that up with a 10-kill, 10-dig effort against Oregon to give her six straight double-doubles and 30 for her career. Sather's season high in kills came against Stanford on Oct. 26, posting 20. She has led the team in kills eight times this season and has double figures in kills in 16 of the last 17 matches. Her 19 contests with at least 10 kills are tied for second on the squad. On the defensive side of things, Sather has 13 matches with double figures in digs, including a season-best 18 against Stanford. She also has five matches with at least five blocks, including tying a career high with six against USC on Oct. 5. The junior is second on the team in kills per game at 3.44 and tied for third with 2.83 digs per game.
Stepping up in the absence of graduated senior Nana Meriwether, senior Rachell Johnson has made a huge impact in the middle of the Bruins' lineup in her final campaign in Westwood. Johnson saw her 10-match streak with double figures in kills end against Oregon, but still has 19 matches with at least 10 kills which is tied for second on the team. Johnson has led the Bruins in kills five times this season and blocks 10 times. The senior has seven matches with at least five blocks, recording eight against the Beavers on Thursday to go along with 15 kills. Johnson's personal high in blocks came against Arizona State. She had 11 roofs and 14 kills for her first career double-double. Offensively, Johnson is third on the team at 3.43 kills per game. Johnson's season best of 19 kills came against Nebraska on Aug. 25.

How did you get your moniker, and is it an acronym?
Bags: I never know how to answer this question because I'm still afraid of my mom finding out what I used to do [laughing]. The name actually started off as "Money Bags" because the friends I had at the time weren't exactly model citizens and we used to sell contraband. As the years went on they started calling me M. Bags, and the name eventually got shortened to BAG$. Still you can find people who call me Money Bags if they've known me for long enough.
How would you describe your music and your brand?
Bags: My music is universal feel good music. It doesn't matter what your race, religion, sex, etc., you can enjoy the music I'm putting out. The records I put together make you want to dance or stand up out your seat at the least. I like to say my records evoke feelings out of whoever is hearing it. If you take the record "Let's Make Up" feet Lady J, you feel like you're back in the 90's at a house party or a barbecue with your friends and family.
As an artist that has changed his style and image, how does that affect you staying true to the music and who you are as an artist and a person?
Bags: The reason behind the change is that I was growing and maturing. When I started out I didn't know myself as well as I thought. As my music got better and I matured I found out what I was comfortable doing and what didn't sound right coming from me and my brand, so it didn't really change my image into a totally different person, I just grew.
The friends you have when you're 15 aren't necessarily the same people you keep around you when you're 20,25,30,40 etc. So I'm still true to myself because all this is an evolution of me and the growth of my music.
How important is it to be radio friendly, while still maintaining something fresh and new about your music?
Bags: For me this has been easy, due to the fact that I've always enjoyed the commercial side of hip-hop as well as the raw side. When I heard Puff and the whole 96-98 Bad Boy era when he made everything commercial and party like, I can honestly say that's when I dove head first into hip-hop. With that being said, I can create commercial records as easily as a hard record, which makes it easier for me to transition to commercial success. I've always wanted to make people dance with my music and give them a feeling of happiness.
I believe that feelings are what create classic music. When you hear a song that makes you sad or makes your day better you hold on to that record in your heart and that's what I'm looking for. I also believe that with always keeping your lyrics close to who you are it keeps the music fresh because people who think like you or are interested in you will relate to your style and that way it can be mainstream as well as still fresh.
It is good to see and hear someone using President Obama's writings as more than a way to push racial apartheid with that being said, "The Audacity of Hope" has a lot to live up to. Will you make any politically charged songs expressing the anger, frustration, and concerns of the American people?
Bags: I've actually had songs like that on other projects and also on this one. I had to remove the record I had which was called "Keep on Moving" because it didn't fit the feeling of the project. With "The Audacity of Hope" I wanted to give people a feeling of happiness through these hard times. They can sit back listen to my music and dream like "Man, I wish I could be doing that right now." That, in turn will either make them work harder or give them a short release that no drug can provide.
Also since you are running with that title what are your thoughts and views on reclaiming the "American Dream?"
Bags: The 'American Dream' is reachable, BUT that same dream means different things for different people. For an immigrant like my father "The American Dream" was to have a house in Dominican Republic and have a house in New York with his family. He kept this dream in focus at all times, now; he may not have had the newest Jordan's, or been pushing a Bentley, but he made his dream come true. He worked at a job making minimum wage all his life and succeeded because he wasn't afraid to work hard.
For someone else the dream could be something different. Like my boy Jae-Dub says "nothing of value comes without being earned", meaning you can't sit at home all day or at the same position at your job and get ahead. You have to constantly keep the dream in focus and keep bettering yourself as well as those around you.
Hard work has driven you since childhood, what are some of the jobs you've done en route to becoming a successful artists?
Bags: I've done almost everything you can think of! From McDonalds to pizza boy, dealer, to pimp, almost everything; whatever can bring the money in for bills, I have no problem doing it as long as I can respect myself at the end of the day.
Do you produce in addition to writing your material?
Bags: No, my beats are horrible [laughing].
How hard was it for you to break into your local club and DJ circuit? Who were some DJs that helped you the most thus far in your career?
Bags: Extremely difficult, and I'm STILL not all the way in. My problem is that I refuse to pay for play or payola. I don't believe an artist should have to pay outrageous prices for one spin on a national radio show. I understand that the DJs have to get paid, and that's cool, but if you know the artist isn't on a major label and has good music there shouldn't be a hefty price tag attached to it. The music is what we all want at the end of the day.
Hip Hop and entrepreneurship seem to go hand-in-hand these days; especially with the decline of the major label, what companies and charities can we expect to see from you?
Bags: I'm really interested in setting up an adoption agency and daycare center for single mothers who can't support their children on their income. So many mothers don't have the help they need to pay a nanny or to deal with the situations in their life so I'd really like to help them out. Right now, I donate to "Food for the Poor." The point of donating is to help enrich the lives of those less fortunate them me, even though I'm not filthy rich, I can always make a difference.
New York is a proving ground for emcees, with so many artists vying for attention what sets you apart?
Bags: What sets me apart is my personality. A diamond will shine differently no matter how many CZ's you put next to it. You can put any of these up and coming rappers next to me and they look like dull stones. I'm ready for this I have the right attitude, the music, and the right people around me who are looking out for my best interest. My music no matter who you compare it to is still different even down to my voice and the way I flow.
Are you now or have you ever written for any major artists?
Bags: No, but I'm not opposed to it at all.
What artists and producers are you currently working?
Bags: I'm working a lot of talented indie artists like JUMZ, r.O.b, Earn Money, etc. I've recently done a few records with exclusive beats by Lex Luger for my new project and he produced the intro for "The Audacity of Hope."
What projects do you have out and now as well as upcoming, will there be another installment in the "Bitch I'm A Star" series?
Bags: "The Audacity Of Hope" is out now and is hosted by DJ SussOne from Power 105.1 in NYC, the next project is "The Audacity Of Hope 2" and will most likely be hosted by DJ Lazy K (The original Mixtape queen) who is known all over the world for breaking artists such as Kanye West, 50 Cent, Max B, French Montana, Wacka Flocka, and more. Check her disco! [Laughing]
What is Hip Hop missing and how are you as artist improving on the current status Hip Hop?
Bags: Hip hop is missing creativity and substance right now. While there was a point that no one was doing the same thing, right now it's hard to tell one artist's single from the next. The ones that really shine thru are because they have different style and aren't just trying to fit the mold.
How can people keep in touch with you?
Bags: My new website is in development right now, so I'll keep you posted on that. But in the meantime definitely check out Youtube.com/Bagstheboss, WhatiFeelisHot.com, Facebook.com/bagstheboss, and @Bagstheboss on twitter!

THE COLLOQUIUM FOR UNPOPULAR CULTURE presents:
CHUNG KUO – CHINA (dir. Michelangelo Antonioni, 1972), 208 min.
Introduced by Angela Zito
WHEN: Tuesday 24 April 2012, 6:30pm
WHERE: Room 471, 20 Cooper Square [East 5th and Bowery]
In 1972, Michelangelo Antonioni, director of L'avventura (1960), Blow-Up (1966) and Zabriskie Point (1970), took advantage of the recent relaxation in diplomatic relations between Italy and China to travel to Beijing where he began shooting a documentary about a country still in the throes of Cultural Revolution. Not unsympathetic to Mao's project, he also visited Suzhou, Nanjing and Shanghai, trying all the while to capture the texture of everyday life in a nation that was largely invisible and inaudible to the West.
However, whether for aesthetic reasons (something debated at the time by Umberto Eco and Susan Sontag) or because of political intrigues, his finished film was widely denounced as imperialist slander, a vile portrait of a China characterized by "unfruitful lands, lonely old people, tired animals and ugly houses". Antonioni himself was labelled "a worm who speaks for the Russians". The Chinese diplomats in Italy who had facilitated production were recalled and forced to attend a study group and write self-criticisms. The film was taken out of circulation, existing primarily as a fuzzy and poorly subtitled bootleg.
Presenting this rare screening will be ANGELA ZITO. In 1979, just as the Cultural Revolution was ending, she spent three years at Beijing University doing historical research on the social and political importance of rituals performed by the emperor. During that time, she also worked as dayside copy editor for The China Daily, China's English-language newspaper, and then as a "newstaster" for the Reuters bureau. Having received a PhD from the University of Chicago in 1989, she is now an Associate Professor in anthropology at NYU, where she has directed the Religious Studies Program for the past nine years, and co-founded and co-directs with Faye Ginsburg the Center for Religion and Media. She co-curates the Reel China Documentary Biennial with Zhang Zhen and is an affiliate faculty of Cinema Studies at NYU.

A vector x $\in \mathbb{R}^3$ makes angles $a, b, c$ with the three axes. Using the dot product with standard basis vectors, show:
$$\cos^2a + \cos^2b + \cos^2c = 1$$
I wasn't sure how to start this one. Conceptually, I can see what was going on, but I would think to create a number of simultaneous equations using $a + b = \frac{\pi}{2}$ etc. I wasn't sure what to do with standard basis vectors.

This one, because it's fantastically addictive, adorable, and pleasantly eerie.
This one, because I'm glad someone's saying it.

Voss v. Fisher
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Voss v. Fisher, 113 U.S. 213 (1885)
Voss v. Fisher
Argued January 15, 1885
Decided January 26, 1885
The doctrine that the use of one of the elements of a combination does not infringe a patent for a combination reasserted.
Patent No. 89,646, granted May 4, 1869, to C.J. Fisher for an improved neckpad for horses, was not infringed by the device used by the appellant for the same purpose.
This was a suit in equity brought by Charles J. Fisher, the appellee, against Willibald Voss, the appellant, to restrain the infringement by the latter of letters patent granted to Fisher, dated May 4, 1869, "for an improved neck pad for horses."
The answer denied infringement and denied that Fisher was the first inventor of the patented improvement.
Upon final hearing on the pleadings and evidence, the circuit court rendered a decree in favor of the complainant, and the defendant appealed.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found this box of Winter Coffee Pocky during my last rip to Little Tokyo. The "winter" varieties of Pocky are my favorites, with the extra layering of chocolate and the dusting of cocoa powder on top. For the past few years Pocky has been releasing just a normal, everyday chocolate flavor during the winter. It is awesome, let me tell you. So I was quite surprised when I saw that this past winter they decided to change things up a bit and come out wit ha new flavor: Winter Coffee.
The package has less of a "wintry" feel to it than the other Winter Pocky, which used cool blue tones and white on the package. This one is green, a nice forest green. Perhaps they are trying to evoke the jungle where the coffee beans come from.
Opening the packet I get a rich aroma that I can only say is the wonderful mix of chocolate and coffee. I taste my first Pocky stuck, and immediately I get the slight bitter cocoa powder dusting. The the rich chocolate comes forward, sweet and rich, but full of wonderful earthy coffee notes. The biscuit serves as a palette cleanser, not really carrying a flavor of it's own, but allows the chocolate to shine and to provide a nice crunch. All I can say is, this is beyond delicious and terribly addicting.
Both my fiance and I really loved this Pocky. It's so familiar, yet just that hint of a different makes it even yummier. I found I really craved this Pocky with my morning coffee. Considering how importing these candies from Japan takes time and a means a more limited supply, I would really recommend trying this Winter Coffee flavor if you happen to see it.

Jon "Bob" Cavaiani, the only Livingston High School graduate to serve as a prisoner of war and to receive the Medal of Honor, died July 29 at the age of 70, the Congressional Medal of Honor Society announced in a news release.
Born in the United Kingdom, Cavaiani moved to the Merced County community of Ballico when he was a child, and was graduated from Livingston High School in 1962.
Cavaiani enlisted in the U.S. Army, and was sent to Vietnam in 1970. He rose in rank to staff sergeant in 1971 and served in Special Forces.
He was captured by North Vietnamese forces. He was a prisoner of war for almost two years before his release in 1973.
At the time of his capture, he was helping defend a secret radio communications site when he and members of his platoon came under attack. He was ordered to withdraw from the site. He chose to disobey orders and provide machine gun cover for other troops who were waiting for helicopter rescue. He was captured and detained in North Vietnamese prisoner of war camps.
In late 1974, President Gerald Ford awarded Cavaiani with the Medal of Honor. He retired from the military in 1990 as a sergeant major.
As a prisoner of war, he infiltrated the Peace Committee, a group of U.S. prisoners of war accused of misconduct. He reported causing dissension within the ranks of the group in an effort to "divide and conquer" it. He was caught, and told by a North Vietnames general that he would be executed.
The end of the war resulted in his life being spared, and Cavaiani offered information about the Peace Committee that resulted in their being court martialed for violating the Military Code of Conduct.
Funeral arrangements were not immediately available.

-> I'm just getting started in satellite work. I traded in all my old -> junky radios for a bright shiny new FT-847. I've got antenna ideas -> and some parts scouted out. Now for coax. -> -> I understand the need for low loss coax. There are a number of -> choices: 9913F, LMR400, Aircell and others. Are there good reasons to -> choose one over the other? Any advice from the old hands to an utter -> newbie? -> -> Robert Rice -> WB5PKN This is a good discussion point. Robert, I went through the same decision process about a year ago when I was putting up my tower and satellite antenna array. I have a 72 foot tower with 2/70 beams on top, along with several antennas. I ran "Buryflex" down the tower (from The Wireman) to my junction/grounding box, then LMR400 underground in conduit over to the edge of the house. The key thing that now makes me reconsider the wisdom of using very low loss feedline is that I also mounted preamps right at the sat. beam antennas for best recieve performance. After using the setup for a year or so, it seems that the preamps make SO much difference, that I don't operate without them. If that is the case, then the low loss aspect of my feedline doesn't matter as much, because all that really matters now is the loss of signal between the antenna and the preamp. The preamp itself has enough output signal that RG213 would have done the job just fine. Get the drift here? I think if I had it all to do over again, I would just buy the best preamps I could find and use average loss feedline. This thinking doesn't apply for antenna setups without preamps. Comments from hams with similar setups would be appreciated. Regards, Steve Diggs, W4EPI Atlanta Area Coordinator EM73WU ---- Via the amsat-bb mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

Cold, clear but lovely – had enough of Chrismas markets for at least another year….
Monthly Archives: December 2009
Interlink Stink
Ordered some nuts and Bolts from Namrick and like a dolt put my home address for delivery. Tried for three days to contact Interlink via their website and the phone numbers they gave – no answer on the phone, and no voice mail facility, and the website tells me no record of my parcel. So It'll go back to Namrick who will have to send it out again with another £8 shipping fee… Grrrr.
Perfect timing!
I got an email this morning suggesting I take my loved one for a romantic Christmas in Paris… on Eurostar! great timing by the e-marketing folks…
Snow in the Park
St James's Park looks lovely in the snow. Although I did mistake a swan for a pile of snow in the dark.
Poor old Michael Crick – had to leave his dinner early at Inn the Park to get back to present Newsnight this evening, Nick Robinson and the rest of the BBC Westminster team carried on happily.
Not sure where my invitation to the Today Programme Christmas bash went this year…
Sound-proofing, I said SOUND-PROOFING!
As a professional writer I should be able to make anything sound interesting – even the rather dull task of finding and fitting sound-proofing material to a thirty-six year old Aston Martin V8.
The original engine bay insulation consisted of sponge backed thick vynyl material – which soaked up the moisture like, well, a sponge.
I wanted to replace it with something more practical but that looked similar – could I find something? Could I not.
Aston Martin still supply the spongey stuff, but at over a hundred quid for three pre-cut pieces I was not tempted.. Instead I am using the same insulating foam I put round the fuel tank (remember the fuel tank folks? – that was three years of blogging ago!!)
As my eye is taking longer to heal than it takes for an MP to pay back their expenses, I couldn't do too much this weekend – so I cleaned up and painted the door hinges and fitted the aircon controller Now, wasn't that interesting?
While blogging I tend to surf You Tube for interesting music, the Yoshida Brothers are my latest discovery.
Domestic rubble (for a change)
Good end to a hectic week….
I spent yesterday afternoon with Shadow Minister for London Bob Neill MP looking at the proposed World Heritage site in Bromley where Darwin did much of his research.
One of the best things about living in London is discovering interesting places where you'd least expect them. In the space of two hours we saw Darwin's bog – where he studied carniverous plants, Wilberforce's Oak tree where William Wilberforce declared war on the slave trade. the remains of a 2,000 year old hill fort and a wonderful medievel tile kiln only discovered relatively recently when someone fell into it!
It takes a trained eye to see these embankments for what they were – the ancient ramparts of a 2,000 year old hill fort.
Some of the tiles still have the finger prints of the men who made them imprinted on the surfaces.
Follwed an eventful day with a splendid evening at the National Theatre – The Pitmen Painters is a very entertaining play, and superbly acted.

Less than an hour until the green flag drops here at the Speedway, the drivers are on the track, headed to their cars, but are the fans headed to their seats? Along the front straight away, there are rows upon rows of bleachers still unfilled. There are still plenty of folks milling about the plaza and through the tunnel under the front stretch, but I don't know that it will be enough to fill some of the holes in the grandstand.
And I can't even see Turn 3 from here.
This being my first NASCAR race in person, the driver introductions were interesting. You can really feel the passion, both good and bad, in the fans. A roar went up for Jeff Gordon, but it was matched with an equal number of boos. Tony Stewart was much the same way when introduced, though he seemed to have more fans on his side than his Hoosier compatriot. And I really don't think anyone will go home unhappy if Mark Martin in the #5 takes the checkered flag.
We're 35 minutes away and I've grabbed a great seat to watch the green flag drop!

As the current era of consoles draws inevitably to a close, it is now time to reflect on the Xbox 360's place within it. Until very recently it was the top-selling video game console of its generation with it only recently being pipped by the PS3. Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 have, undoubtedly, been wildly successful in terms of sales figures and will definitely take a lot for the next generation of gaming machines to beat them in that regard.
With the soon approaching Xbox One console readying itself to supersede it, Xbox 360 seems to be determined to go out with a bang rather than a whimper with some phenomenal gaming titles being released in 2013. Top-notch Xbox 360 titles are defying the console's aging architecture to produce stunning graphics at high frame rates which most never thought would be seen on the platform. Let's take a look at what are likely to be the top selling Xbox 360 games of 2013 once the year reaches its end.
TP Friends, are you keen on getting XBox One?
Two titles which will come very close to claiming the crown of top selling Xbox 360 game of 2013, in my opinion, are the latest iterations of two incredibly popular long-running series: BioShock Infinite and Tomb Raider, which had sold more than 1 million copies in less than forty-eight hours of its release and has become the biggest UK title launch in 2013 so far. The way the developers of these games have managed to modernize and update already stellar gaming experiences has won them legions of fans and is spurring on strong sales numbers.
BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter video game developed by Irrational Games and published by 2K Games. In its first week of release, BioShock Infinite became the best-selling game on Steam's digital Top 10 PC Charts. In the US, BioShock Infinite was the top-selling console game for March 2013, with more than 878,000 units sold not including digital sales such as through Steam.During the first week of sales in the UK, BioShock Infinite debuted as the number one selling PC game, and the best-selling game on all available formats, topping the UK PC Retail Sales and the UK All Formats video games charts.
However, I believe they are going to both be blown away in sales numbers by the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 5 which looks set to shatter all previous sales records, such is the incredible anticipation for the game across the world. Other challengers for top selling and rated Xbox 360 games of 2013 include Saints Row 4, FIFA 2014, Battlefield 4, Diablo 3 and the eagerly awaited Watch Dogs.
Grand Theft Auto V is an upcoming open world action-adventure video game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The game is being developed by Rockstar North, published by Rockstar Games and is set to be released on September 17, 2013. Grand Theft Auto V, according to its creators, was envisioned to exceed the core mechanics of the Grand Theft Auto series by giving the player three lead protagonists to switch between while playing the game.
With the soon to be released Xbox One's launch, games may be priced slightly higher compared to the majority of the back catalogue of the Xbox 360. It is then possible that there will still be life in the old dog for a while longer. One thing's for sure: with so many hot releases vying to be the top selling Xbox 360 game of the year 2013, will definitely be a bumper year for gamers!
TP Friends, what are some of your favorite Xbox 360 games? Will you upgrading to the Xbox One?

DEAR DR. GOTT: Sometimes when I have a bowel movement, my feces goes to the bottom of the toilet. At other times, it floats. Why the difference?
DEAR READER: "Floaters" have an increased level of air and gas, making them less dense. There's also a connection with gastrointestinal infections causing buoyant feces. Diet enters the picture here and makes a difference that can vary the results from day to day. Overall, more people have "sinkers" than "floaters," but don't ask me who performed that survey!

Ever tried to sell a nice pair of leather or hiking boots on eBay? If the boots are tall, it can be a challenge to get a good photo where the boots aren't flopping over or slouching. Unfortunately, not everyone has a human model handy to fit into every pair of boots they may want to sell. You could shove newspaper or plastic bags in the boots to help them stand upright, but that can look bulky and awkward - and not a great way to display the boots to the buyer. Some clever fashionistas have solved that problem for us.
Use pool noodles to keep boots upright. Get some clean styrofoam pool noodles, cut them the same height of the boots, and place them inside the boots. (Works great for ankle boots, too.) This is also a great way to store boots before shipping to keep them from wrinkling. Look for pool noodles at the local thrift store, or buy on sale during the summer months anywhere that sells pool supplies such as WalMart, Target, Walgreens, or even the grocery store.
Another great use for pool noodles that eBay sellers can appreciate is to use them as packaging material. Cut to fit around awkward shaped items to cushion when shipping or cut in small pieces or chunks and use as filler. If you can get pool noodles for free at garage or yard sales, this is more cost effective than buying packing peanuts.

Historically, Nicaragua has had it rough. In the natural-disaster category, it's a blue-ribbon winner: Earthquakes, hurricanes and volcanoes have taken turns ravaging this Central American country, and its politics have been equally turbulent. Recent times alone include a dynasty of torture-prone dictators toppled by socialist Sandinista insurgents who subsequently found themselves engaged in a civil war with contras bolstered by U.S. weapons sales to Iran.
On my first visit, in 1983, I was on assignment for Life magazine, accompanied by a photographer. The Sandinistas were running the country, the contra conflict was escalating, and there was a subliminal sense of danger in the capital city, Managua. Many prominent families had decamped for Miami, and those who stayed behind were warily hanging on to land, businesses and homes that the Sandinista top brass had shown an appetite for appropriating. Military service was mandatory, and the streets were filled with camouflage. I spent time with baby-faced soldiers, not much taller than their Russian-issue Kalashnikov rifles, who wore trash bags as raincoats. A young boy returning from the battlefront on the back of a horse-drawn cart made an indelible impression: The flesh of one shin was peeled back like petals on a tulip, the result of a grenade. My hotel room was pawed through; our car was tailed; story subjects, afraid their phones were bugged, pretended not to know me when I called them after an interview. Before I met with a highly placed Sandinista minister, my bags, containing all my notebooks and tapes, were confiscated. Back in his inner sanctum of an office, he propositioned me while brandishing an unsheathed sword. I spoke enough Spanish to convey politely that an affair would be unprofessional—on my part—and he was probably too amused to be insulted.
I returned to New York three weeks later, just in time for the Fourth of July, and I choked up watching the fireworks from an apartment rooftop. It was a Michelle Obama moment: For the first time, I was consciously grateful for my country. Nicaragua had made me a patriot.
Cut to a yoga class in Santa Monica, 2009. As we rolled up our mats, the teacher, Sara Ivanhoe, announced she was leading a retreat at a five-star eco-lodge on Nicaragua's Pacific coast. It didn't seem that long ago that I'd signed a form promising not to hold Time Inc. responsible if I were blown to bits or otherwise inconvenienced during my assignment there. Who goes to Nicaragua on vacation? Well, as it happens, close to a million tourists did last year, and the government hopes to raise the figures exponentially. The same PR company that reps the upscale Peninsula Hotels has been hired to promote the country as an undiscovered destination. It's "the new Costa Rica," with resorts ranging from swanky to simple, and natural wonders abound: turtle migrations, sustainable coffee plantations, rain forests chockablock with exotic birds, monkeys and flora. The position of two large freshwater lakes in the middle of the country makes the surfing spectacular. Winds from the Caribbean coast blow uninterrupted to the Pacific, creating ideal wave conditions year-round.
So I signed up for the retreat, six days at Morgan's Rock, the country's most exclusive resort. Ivanhoe worked out the itinerary with Nicaragua-based Adrienne Ward, an ex–New Yorker and the founder of BigWorld-SmallPlanet, a business that arranges Central American yoga retreats. We'd have two yoga classes a day, unlimited hammock swaying, no TVs or newspapers and various cultural sightseeing ops. I'd recently been let go from my magazine job—one of thousands of journalists pink-slipped that year—and it was time to figure out the next step. If Nicaragua could repurpose itself as a high-end tourist destination, surely I could conjure a second act, too.

I stumbled on this video and wanted to share it with you. It really drives home the point of how important social media is, particularly for your online success.
It got me thinking…
There are as many social media sites as there are different ways to promote your business through them. They all have unique benefits and opportunities that you should consider. But fortunately, there are several commonalities to all of them, especially when it comes to social media marketing success.
Let's take a quick look at these similarities:
1) You can build strong profiles.
Each social media site provides an opportunity for you to describe who you are, what you do and where to find more information about your product and/or services. Your profile is often the thing that will cause a reader to take a second look at you and/or your business. Be professional while showing personality. Provide a link to your website. Correct any spelling, capitalization or grammatical errors.
2) You can engage your audience.
Social media is just that – social. Don't be a wallflower. Engage, praise, compliment, promote fellow members, thank and be social. If you want to get noticed, you need to participate.
3) You can increase your visibility.
Social media provides multiple opportunities to promote your products/services. Social media participants expect to learn about you and your business but they will be turned off by repeated sales pitches.
Social media demands avoiding sleazy marketer tricks.
Add valuable content (tips, articles, how to's), promote interesting content by your friends/followers, show your human side (your interests, hobbies etc) AND sprinkle in your own products/services. When done in moderation, your followers will be eager to find out more and to make a purchase.
I'd like to help you with your social media efforts through my blog (and my products and services). If you have questions, or you're stuck on something, let me know. Simply leave your comment below or via Twitter or become a member of my Facebook Fan page
How are you doing with your social media strategy? I just recently started my own but I've been implementing them successfully for clients for a couple of years now. Ask me any question below. I don't charge anything for answers on my blog! 😉

Lavrov: Talks 'to take important decisions' on Ukraine
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he expects the leaders of Russia, Germany, Ukraine and France to take "important decisions" when they to discuss the ongoing Ukraine crisis, Interfax news agency reported.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Russian President Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande are due to meet in Minsk on Wednesday.
Lavrov: 'Grounds for optimism' on Ukraine deal
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said there were reasons for optimism on a Ukraine peace deal but also blamed the US and Europe for inflaming the crisis.
"We believe that there are good grounds for optimism, to issue recommendations for conflict resolution," Lavrov said during a debate at the Munich security conference.
He also pointed to growing calls in the West to "pump Ukraine full of lethal weapons."
"This position will only exacerbate the tragedy of Ukraine," he added.
Ukraine ceasefire being observed 'in general'
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine is being observed "in general" but "there are incidents when the sides blame each other".
He told a news conference today that Moscow hopes talks will soon start on the status of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
However, he raised concerns over the "heavy concentration" of Ukrainian troops in parts of eastern Ukraine.
Russia accuses US of supporting the 'party of war'
Moscow has accused Washington of backing what it called the "party of war" in Kiev and said it was counting on a response from the leadership in Ukraine and rebels in its east to a Russian ceasefire plan.
Lavrov warning over Ukraine's Nato membership bid
Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has warned that Ukraine's bid to join Nato could "derail" the peace process in the east of the country.
Ukraine's government wants to join the defence alliance but some sections of its population, including its Russian-speaking minority, are opposed.
"This is an obvious attempt to derail all efforts to initiate a dialogue aimed at providing national security," Lavrov is quoted as saying by a Russian news agency.
Russia: EU should respect Ukraine referendum results
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said the European Union should respect the results of the referendums in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine over the weekend.
Mr Lavrov's comments follow an apparently overwhelming victory for pro-Russian separatists, with rebel leaders claiming over 85% of voters in both regions voted in favour of independence from Ukraine.
The leader of the rebels in Donetsk has now reportedly asked for his region to be incorporated into the Russian Federation, though the Kremlin has yet to respond to the request.
Lavrov: New international talks 'going round in circles'
Russia' Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, has dismissed calls for a new round of international talks over Ukraine.
He said further negotiations would be "going round in circles" because the first agreement reached in Geneva has, in Russia's view, not been implemented.
Mr Lavrov also claimed it would be "unusual" for the Ukrainian presidential election to go ahead while the Ukrainian army is being deployed in the east of the country.
Russia: Sanctions 'weak' and 'lack common sense'
US and European Union sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine crisis are the result of the West's own weak policies, the Russian Foreign Minister has said.
Sergei Lavrov said Russia rejects sanctions "in any of our relationships, in particular those sanctions that were sponsored by the United States and the European Union, which are against all common sense, regarding the events in Ukraine".
Lavrov tells Kerry Ukraine must stop operation in east
Sergei Lavrov has told US Secretary of State John Kerry that Ukraine must stop its military operation in the country's southeastern as part of efforts to defuse the crisis, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
In a telephone conversation with Kerry, Lavrov also urged the US to use its influence to secure the release of what the ministry called leaders of the "protest movement" in the region - a reference to pro-Russian separatists.
Kerry and Lavrov discussed efforts to resolve the situation involving detained OSCE military observers, the ministry said, adding that the controlling parts of southeastern Ukraine had not been properly informed of the observers' plans to travel there.
Ukraine dialogue with separatists 'step in right direction'
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said that Kiev's offer of dialogue with separatists in the east is a "step in the right direction, albeit very belated."

Mike Stone is entering his 12th season as the head baseball coach at the University of Massachusetts, after coming to UMass in 1988 from the University of Vermont. In his previous 11 seasons, the Minutemen have compiled a 319-193-1 (.623) record.
Last year, Stone became only the second coach in UMass baseball history to reach the 300 win plateau, while guiding the Minutemen to their fifth straight Atlantic 10 Eastern Division crown. At the Atlantic 10 tournament, UMass fell just short of making the championship game, dropping a 7-6 decision to Virginia Tech.
In 1997, the Minutemen won the Atlantic 10 Eastern Division crown for the fourth season in a row. Stone's team ranked sixth nationally with a .351 batting average and boasted the 11th best winning percentage in the nation (.745). At the Atlantic 10 tournament, UMass made it to the championship before falling to Virginia Tech.
1996 marked one of the best seasons in school history as Stone guided UMass to its third straight Atlantic 10 Conference regular season championship, in addition to a second straight A-10 Tournament crown. The Minutemen advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year, reaching the East Regional Finals and winning the school's first NCAA Tournament game since 1969. UMass finished the season on a 25-4 run, including a school record 18-game winning streak, which was tops in the nation, and posted 40 wins for the first time in school history.
In 1995, Stone led the Minutemen to their first NCAA Championship berth since 1978, while the team won 38 games, second-most in school history. In addition to claiming the Atlantic 10 regular season title, UMass won its first A-10 Tournament crown since 1980.
In winning the Atlantic 10 regular season title, UMass tied its own A-10 record with 19 victories in conference play. The Minutemen had set that record only a year earlier, when they had a 19-4 mark in conference play, in addition to a 31-17 record overall. The 1994 squad also set what was then a school record with a streak of 16 consecutive victories.
From 1994-96, Stone was named the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year. He is only the second coach to win the award three consecutive years, following Fred Hill of Rutgers, who claimed the honor in 1991, 1992 and 1993. No other coach has even won the award twice in a row.
Stone has also sent 28 players into professional baseball during his 11 years at UMass, averaging almost three players signing pro contracts per season. Included among those players are current major leaguers Gary DiSarcina, Dave Telgheder and Ron Villone.
Stone's 1988 and 1991 squads both finished as runner-up in the Atlantic 10, and he has also led the Minutemen to nine appearances at the Atlantic 10 Championship in his 11 seasons.
After his graduation from Taft School in Connecticut in 1974, Stone signed a professional contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. He was a catcher in the Cardinals' system for three years and played in the Los Angeles Dodgers' minor league organization for two seasons.
At the completion of his professional career, Stone enrolled as a physical education major at UMass, where he played football for three seasons, from 1979-81. During his senior year, he served as head baseball coach and junior varsity hockey coach at Northfield Mount Hermon School. He graduated cum laude from UMass in 1982 and earned his masters degree from Vermont in 1986.
Stone and his wife, Cindi, reside in South Deerfield, Mass., with their three children, twin daughters Kylie and Jamie, age 11, and son Hunter, age nine. Stone's Career Coaching Record

After many months of having no camera at all, I have finally bought a new toy. This time? A Fujifilm XE-1! This little beauty does everything I need in a small, classically designed package. It reminds me a lot of my favourite camera, the Nikon FE. It came with an 18-55 lens and is SHARP SHARP SHARP! It is also super small, so I can go on long treks with it. So expect more photos incoming!

What impact did the Seven Years War have on the American Revolution?
The North American version of the Seven Years' War was the French and Indian War. And yes, it did set the stage for the American Revolution for at least three reasons:
There is an unobvious connection pointed out by Tarle: Before the Seven Years War the major threat for the colonists was the French in Canada who could conceivably mount an invasion and conquer the colonies (who hardly relished the prospect). The only sure protection against that was Britain. Once Britain had vanquished France and removed the ever-present threat of external invasion, it itself became the colonists' biggest problem.
Think of it as a Maslow-pyramid thing.
Where I differ from Tarle's analysis is that I don't think it was pre-determined from that point that the colonies should become independent. A touch of Burkean magnanimity and Britain might have kept America. But let's stop there, I am sliding into counterfactuals.
In Kevin Phillips' The Cousin's Wars he puts a slightly different spin on the influence of the Seven Years' War on the Revolution. After some false starts, the British Army and the Colonials achieved a relation of working together to win the war...the Army would ask the colonies for money, or supplies or troops directly to the legislatures and they would figure out the hows and whys and get it done. They assumed this responsible acting on their part would be rewarded by its continuation going forward.
Hence when Parliament, who was not involved in any of this, rejected this notion and started cutting out the Colonial Legislatures as middlemen with the finance bills, the powerful Colonials who made up these groups hit the ceiling. As a means of making money, these bills and taxes were trivial - as everyone has noted at the time and since. But they were very effective at signalling that the English legislature was going to deny powerful Colonials any say in how their part of the world would be run, which was very short sighted on their part. The two sides continued to talk past each other for the next few decades until the point of revolution was reached.

text: Dear VNCers help people, I am excited about the prospect of using VNC for my work. However, I have encountered a serious hang problem that occurs at seemingly random times in accessing programs and files. I have the latest version of the vncserver installed on my WindowsNT (I am the only user, and therefore, administrator) and the same on my Solaris machine. When using vncviewer on the Solaris I can log in just fine but eventually everything hangs (again, for no apparent reason). The cursor dot (I assume that it is a local construct) still follows my mouse movements on the Solaris but the cursor is not updated on either the Solaris nor the PC. Further, any mouse or keyboard action on the PC (at that terminal) also freezes. C+A+D does nothing and the only recourse is to reboot the PC. Can someone offer some guidance?
