Let's hope Joe Valente's previous 95 birthday wishes went a little better than his 96th. The Commack, New York resident said he found a rat's tail and other rat parts in his store bought apple ring cake.
According to Fox News on Monday, Valente's nephew, Neil Gold, said his uncle instantly knew there was something funky with the cake after one forkful. One could say he suspiciously "smelled a rat."
"He said, 'It doesn't taste right,'" Gold said, it what is likely the understatement of the year. His uncle wanted his traditional ring cake from his favorite grocer – King Kullen's Supermarket in Commack – minus a disease carrying mammal of course.
Valente was not hospitalized, though Gold said his uncle complained of stomach pains and had severe diarrhea.
"We saw it was coming from the bottom. We flipped it over and seemed to be a rat's tail," Gold said. "It appeared to be bleeding into the cake."
Gold said they first thought it was mold, but after a closer inspection, they could see some clear rodent parts ground up inside. The allegedly rat-infested dessert was then presented to a law office. Attorney Edward Yule believes the rat was purposely thrown into the cake mixture while it was being produced.
"I personally am of the opinion that this cake was tampered with," Yule said. "What's King Kullen have to say about this?"
King Kullen did respond, stating they would "fully cooperate" with any external investigations and conduct its own internal probe of the incident.
What else are you going to say when a nearly 100-year-old man finds a filthy rodent gnarled up inside a cake?
"We took immediate steps as a precautionary measure," the company said in a statement. "Product has been removed from the bakery and the premises have undergone a thorough inspection. There are no known safety or rodent issues in this bakery department and it is in good standing with all Department of Agriculture inspections."
The company said they have never had any complaints of rats before in their food product, as if that makes it any better.

For the first time, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport will see a Virgin Atlantic plane at one of its gates.
Starting in October, Delta and Virgin Atlantic Airways will swap operations for nonstop flights connecting London-Heathrow to Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport. It offers more choices for the airlines' customers on key routes across the Atlantic.
It will be a codeshare on each other's nonstop services, allowing Delta and Virgin customers easy access to an expanded network.
"It's great to see how our partnership with Delta is already proving fruitful to our customers," said Craig Kreeger, Virgin Atlantic CEO. "In less than a year we will have co-located key business routes, delivered schedule changes to benefit our customers and provided enhanced experiences to our frequent fliers, who gain from reciprocal lounge access and the ability to earn and burn across both carriers. This is just the beginning of demonstrating how a true joint venture between airlines should be operated to benefit customers."
This is part of the partnership between Delta and Virgin Atlantic which began January 1, 2014.
By flying to Hartsfield-Jackson, Virgin Atlantic will now have access to Delta's Atlanta hub at the busiest airport in the world. This gives access to Virgin Atlantic customers for connecting to points throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
"From the outset we said that our partnership with Virgin Atlantic was about improving services while offering more destinations and schedule choice," said Delta President Ed Bastian. "Expanding access to London's Heathrow Airport has long been at the top of Delta's list of priorities, while Virgin Atlantic has long wanted greater access to North America. Today's announcement shows how we're delivering this shared commitment to increase connectivity on the trans-Atlantic."
Virgin Atlantic will fly an Airbus A330-300 to and from Atlanta.

(Another installment of the absolute horribleness of this story. lol. Enjoy)
This person sitting beside me what was her name? I know it, I feel it linger inside my mind but it moves away when I reach for it. Her presence is calming. This calmness or whatever feeling she is washing over me with her presence it is welcomed. Though I had figured or hoped that I would never feel this sense of calmness again. Or maybe I figured I know longer deserved it, no longer was allowed to feel any type of emotion it what now feels like a empty shell of my former self.
"The longer you sit here. The less of a chance you'll have to become what you are meant to become." She said to me. Her voice still filled with confidence, like she knew what my destiny was to be. As if she knew everything I would face, the trails I would go through.
"Swirling force right?" I mumbled into my arms peering at the door. How my despisement for that door grows as it stands there taunting my failure, my inability to accept what I have witnessed. Everything that I had hoped to achieve now seems like it's fading in the distance. Is what I wanted truly that unattainable, that far from my grasp. Why couldn't things, just for a moment be simple to understand just for one tiny moment let clarity wash over me so I would know what I should do next.
"It's not swirling force" she said "It's what I see when I look into your eyes. It's what your soul desires to be."
My soul? What did she know about my soul? She died on me, all the things she promised to teach me turned into lies and false hopes. But is it right for me to blame her for something she had no control over? Maybe as a child I held on to the resentment of her death. When she died she left behind her promises to me that soon became empty words from everyone else. I think that's when my resentment for others began. When I was left alone in the darkness she was trying to save me from.
"You act as if you know me?" I muttered to her my voice still refusing to show even the slightest hint of emotion. Inside me however something was stirring trying to come back to life, trying to be noticed and seen again.
I heard her let loose a small chuckle as she said "Of course I know you child. I haven't stopped watching you."
My eyes drifted from the maddening door over to her. She sat there looking at me with her brown eyes shining fake motherly affection upon me, and a smile that seemed to sooth my chaotic heart. Her hair grayed by time was still pulled back into a tight bun. Through her hair however there were still streaks of her original color, black as the midnight sky. Her mind though seemed so ancient and wise even if her appearance proved otherwise. Still sounding so old and still looking so young.
She stood up moving slowly showing the falseness of her age. Her body seemed to moan and crack with every movement letting her know that quick movement wouldn't be a wise choice. She turned to face me, limping with every turn. A hand was place in front of my vision. The skin smooth unaffected by wrinkles of time or the labors they have been through.
"Take my hand Lyon. It's now time to stand and stop wallowing in self pity." She said.
Self pity? This wasn't self pity this was genuine pain wasn't it? And even if it was self pity I had every right to feel this way didn't I? After everything I've been though? Maybe she was right, maybe I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself. But my heart, my devastated heart that still seemed to be cowering in the farthest corner of my chest couldn't take any more I believe.
She managed to hit the right button though. I felt myself spring to me feet, my fists clenched tightly ready to strike her. I could feel the burning rage course through my veins, the desire to strike her, to beat her until there was nothing left. But I didn't as I slowly took a deep breath in and released it all that anger, all that frustration seemed to flow away from my body like ripples in a pond.

Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu Wins 10-0 Against
Marcus "Buchecha" – Gets Crowned 2013
ADCC World Champion!
Wow… What an unbelievable event this year at ADCC – Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu totally dominates his friend and training partner Buchecha in the finals of the absolute division – who would have guessed it? So many upsets this year – from Mendes losing, to Keenan losing, to Cyborg winning it all!
Match Breakdown, Buchecha vs. Cyborg
Cyborg starts the match off with a takedown (a sort of foot-sweep of some kind, it was hard to tell) after a bit of circling. To everyone's surprise, he takes side control on Buchecha with a smooth half guard pass. I thought Buchecha must have been messing with him, but it doesn't appear to be the case. After a switch to knee-on-belly from Cyborg, Buchecha stands right up from a frantic buck, and the two get back to battling from the feet.
After a lot of sticking and moving on the feet, Cyborg takes a double leg on Buchecha and again passes to side control. I can't imagine anyone in the crowd would have been expecting such dominance, but it appeared to be an issue of stamina on the part of Buchecha, and tenacity for Roberto, who was clinging to him from side mount, allowing for only minimal movement. Buchecha predictably ends up getting back to his open guard and gets to work.
After much takedown and guard scrambling, still no points are scored. At one point, Buchecha seems to have a blast double, then, he seems to be right in position for Tornado guard against Roberto (almost ironic) – but Roberto is able to magically keep his base and remain on the feet. It's amazing that Buchecha seemed to sweep Rodolfo Vieira SO well in their match, but ended up having little success whatsoever against Roberto without the gi on.
Points are drastically in Cyborg's favor at this point, and it becomes obvious that Marcus will need to submit. Toe hold or rear naked choke is the most likely option, but Abreu keeps both feet safe despite more guard scrambles. From half guard – again – Cyborg passes to side control – again. Unbelievable. Guard is recovered by Marcus, and after an omoplata scramble, the two get right back up. Crowd going insane.
Buchecha goes for another inverted sweep and is passed again, this time to north-south, where it is clear that Roberto is looking for a finish – potentially via choke.
Time runs out after another scramble from Buchecha, and Roberto wins a dominant 10 to 0 against the 2-time Double-Gold World Champion.

City's seven shooters hit headlines
- 03 November 2013 09:44
- Posted by @dclayton_mcfc
It's not every week City score seven goals so a little indulgence should be forgiven as we sift through the Sunday reviews of the victory over Norwich City.
With the Canaries treated to the dreaded words in brackets confirming the goals conceded on vidiprinters yesterday, there's a plethora of not-too-dissimilar headlines that adorn the match reports today.
'Seven and Hell' and 'Ruddy Hell' win hands down, but it's perhaps unfair to target the Norwich keeper for the margin of defeat with the collective blame lying surely with a woefully off-colour East Anglian starting XI who, let's not forgot, won at the Etihad 3-2 less than six months ago.
The Sunday Mirror's Simon Mullock, opting for 'Seventh Heaven', writes: "A Manchester City starting XI that didn't contain a single Englishman looked in the mood to run riot anyway.
"But they were given a huge hand by the visitors' keeper as they recorded their biggest top-flight win since the halcyon days of Bell, Lee and Summerbee.
"Norwich recorded their worst ever too-flight defeat, as rocky Ruddy flapped and flopped at almost everything that came his way.
"It didn't help that even his team-mates peppered him. Canaries' midfielder Bradley Johnson began the carnage with an own-goal in the 16th minute.
"And by half-time Ruddy had also been beaten by a deflected Matija Nastasic header, in between classy finishes from Silva and Negredo. Ruddy was the one Norwich player to improve after the break."
The Observer's Jamie Jackson picks up on quotes from Manuel Pellegrini who elected to rest Joe Hart against Chris Hughton's side.
He writes: "Explaining his decision, City's manager said: 'For this game I think that Joe needs a rest, it could be useful for him. He played the last two and a half years every match here, every player can have a bad moment and we will work hard behind Joe so that he can return to his normal best performance as soon as possible.'"
Finally, the MEN's Stuart Brennan notes the rapturous ovation afforded to David Silva as he was substituted midway through the second half as he writes: "The roar which greeted Silva as he trotted off after 70 minutes, his work done, spoke volumes.
The little Spaniard was quite brilliant as he masterminded a Blue goal glut, their biggest home win since the famous 10-1 demolition of Huddersfield in 1987
"The goals were neatly shared out, with six different City players, and one unfortunate Norwich defender, getting on the lopsided score-sheet as the Canaries were thumped 7-0.
"The first half was all a little surreal as City hardly played out of their skins, but just kept rolling in the goals."

Goodday all,
I was recently reading up on a few projects that might be of interest to me when I found "CPU Bong water coolers", there isn't much online on them so I figure I would ask y'all.
If you do a quick google search you can see what this thing actually is.
They get a length of PVC and orient it vertially, at they bottom they attach a 45 split with the 45 open end facing up. The very bottom of the pipe sets in a bucket with water.
Water from the bucket is pumped through a CPU waterblock and collects heat. The water continues to a shower head situated at the top of the PVC pipe. The water flows through the shower head and strait down the tube into the bucket. While the water is falling through the tube air is forced over it via a fan over the open end of the 45 split.
I think the idea is that the air gonig over the small droplets of water will strip off molecules that are close to evaporation. When they evaporate they pull heat from the last of the water in that drop, cooling the drop. All the drops are cooled this way.
Is this how this thing works?
How could I get a rough estimate the size I would need to remove lets say 300 watts from the incoming water? (I know I will get people who quote "But what if the butterfly flaps its wings in Europe, that thing will then only cool 299.4553456 watts; I just need something generic. Should I get a 10foot PVC pipe or a 6in pipe?)
Does it scale? If a 1ft pipe can effectively remove 10 watts, does a 10ft pipe remove 100 watts?
If you think it depends on to many factors to tell me, what are the factors? Humidty, ambient, CFM of the fans, how small the drops are from the shower head, etc and which should be maximized and which should be minimized.

The Films of Nicolas Winding Refn
Fear X
With Blood on My Hands: Pusher II
I'm the Angel of Death: Pusher III
Marple: Nemesis
Valhalla Rising
Drive (September 29/11)
Based on the novel by James Sallis, Drive follows a nameless stuntman/getaway driver (Ryan Gosling) as he finds himself embroiled in an increasingly deadly scenario involving a beautiful neighbor (Carey Mulligan's Irene), her volatile husband (Oscar Isaac's Standard), and a vicious mobster (Albert Brooks' Bernie). Filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn opens Drive with an exciting heist sequence that ultimately isn't indicative of what follows, as the director, for the most part, subsequently straddles the line between art-house and mainstream cinema - with the movie's deliberate pace and contemplative atmosphere demanding the viewer's patience on an ongoing basis. And although Gosling delivers an expectedly striking and thoroughly compelling performance, the actor's character, a strong-but-silent type, never becomes as wholeheartedly sympathetic a figure as one might've hoped. It's ultimately the inclusion of several astonishingly electrifying moments - eg a robbery that goes horribly wrong - that confirms Drive's place as a better-than-average thriller, with the film's irresistibly stylish atmosphere compensating for its general lack of context and substance.
out of
An oddball, mostly unwatchable cinematic experiment, Only God Forgives follows Ryan Gosling's Julian as he embarks on a reluctant campaign of revenge after his brother is murdered in Thailand. It's an inherently engrossing premise that's squandered from the word go by director Nicolas Winding Refn, as the filmmaker has infused Only God Forgives with a hopelessly pretentious feel that's reflected in its various attributes - with the leaden pace, aggressively stylish visuals, and infuriatingly spare storyline ranking high on the movie's list of massive missteps. Refn's ongoing efforts at cultivating a dreamlike atmosphere contributes heavily to the stagnant vibe, as the movie vacillates between reality and the characters' imagined exploits seemingly at random - which results in a lurching, start-stop momentum that grows more and more infuriating as time (slowly) progresses. Refn's style-over-substance modus operandi ultimately renders the film's few positive elements moot, with the sporadic inclusion of breathtakingly violent sequences - eg a character is tortured to a remarkably brutal extent - literally the only thing preventing the viewer from checking out completely. (It's worth noting that even Gosling, as dynamic a performer as currently exists, is unable to breathe any life into this miserable piece of work.) And while it's finally difficult not to admire Refn's refusal to offer up even a kernel of conventional storytelling, Only God Forgives is hardly the exciting, engrossing follow-up to Drive one might've naturally anticipated.

Utah lost 574 to suicide last year, but prevention efforts are moving forward
"I always tell people it doesn't hurt to try anything new, because what you're trying now isn't working if you are still feeling this way," Goodman said. "It doesn't hurt to make the call. You never know who is out there to help you what kind of help is available. It's OK to ask the questions."
Myers said tackling suicide requires a multi-pronged approach that includes community education and community-based training. Last year, 10,000 people statewide were trained through such programs.
"We're excited about the progress there," she said, noting that they are hoping to have people trained or currently in training in as many communities as possible. "We want these efforts to be sustainable," Myer said. "We don't want it to be a one-time thing. I could go out and do a training in every county or city in the state, but it's not going to have the impact of someone who knows the community dynamic."
She said they are also working to train clinicians and health professionals. Research shows that more than half of those who commit suicide have seen their primary care providers within a month of their death, so training those in clinics to screen for suicide risks is crucial.
"It fits in with the approach that everyone has to be engaged," she said.
Educating the educators
Lewis said training has also been key in school efforts. She said her office is developing a suicide prevention training model to send out to the districts, "so everyone from bus drivers to lunch ladies to educators and counselors will feel confident in recognizing what those warning signs are."
In August, prevention specialists in every school district and at charter schools across the state attended a suicide prevention training. They were then charged with preparing and presenting a suicide prevention seminar for parents in their area.
"It's vital that parents are involved because teachers are not with a student 24/7 and parents aren't with a student 24/7," Lewis said. "Hopefully, when students are in the schools, teachers can recognize when a child is in need and assist them and, at home, parents know what to look for and they can help their child."
She said parents should watch for extreme changes in behavior and urged them to ask the direct questions. They should also take note of the available resources in their area.
"No one wants to lose a child to suicide. No one wants a child to feel that overwhelming feeling that life is not worth living," Lewis said. "It's a community effort — not just teachers or parents. We're really excited and looking forward to building up that effort together to be able to truly help students."
Helping those in crisis
Rose and Finnemore have spent the better part of 25 years working to help those in crisis in Salt Lake County, first at Valley Mental Health and now at UNI. They have worked part time doing crisis evaluations in emergency rooms and volunteered in the state's mental health courts.
At UNI, there are resources that offer help. From the statewide CrisisLine at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to the Warm Line to the mobile crisis units to the receiving and recovery center,
"It's a dream come true," Rose said. "There's nobody in the country that wouldn't want what we have. It's something I dreamed about my whole career."
Last month, Rose said mobile crisis outreach teams — which are made up of a licensed mental health professional and a certified peer specialist — went out on 228 calls.
"The mobile crisis team is really like a third wheel in the emergency response system," Finnemore said. "Police are there for safety, fire is there for medical, and we're there for behavioral health and mental health issues."
They can also do follow-up calls and visits, and Finnemore said if they know of someone who is psychotic, but not dangerous, they may go check on that person three or four times a week for a few weeks. With one outpost at UNI and another in Daybreak, their goal is to be anywhere in the county within 30 minutes.
Of the 3,800 CrisisLine calls, Fennimore said about 10 percent rise to the level of requiring a visit from a mobile unit.
"Those numbers just continue to build as more and more people know about us," he said. "A lot of times we have people who maybe called us a year ago and got good service and are calling us back this year because they're in crisis again. There's somebody available 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
Rose said he feels lucky that Salt Lake County saw the need for the crisis programs and funded them. He said they provide better services for people, and save the county money when people get the help they need without going to an emergency rooms or calling law enforcement.
"These are cost-saving measures," Rose said. "And not only that, but they save emotional costs and lives."

I really can't believe anyone one has difficulty locating themselves in the passband. Pick a frequency pair according to the published ones. Of course, way away from the beacon. Once you establish a pairing write that pair down or put it in memory if you have that capability... I've got a pairing that I know works, albeit at one point in the doppler, and I've got it in memory. When starting a new session, it may take me all of five seconds to find myself with a very little RECEIVE FREQUENCY HUNT!! I just cannot imagine anyone swishing his xmit frequency to find himself, much less thru the beacon...TUNE YOUR RECEIVE!! I also use an audio input that I made from a 556 timer. I inject it at the mike, and I can find myself very easily on ssb and never have to switch to or back from the cw position. It makes it easier for beginners to use, once they hear their tones they put the switch back in the mike position. I have a choice of three tones, and one of the sounds is exactly like LEILA!

They are designed to be primarily phone and photo/camera is a secondary one.
I would rather use a PROPER Point N shoot instead of camera on smart phones
may be for just one off and for casual use only.
After depleting the precious power on camera when the time comes your phone talk time/standby time would be severely diminished
This is tongue in cheek, right?
Well those were no-brainers.

The Great Bustard is on the brink of extinction in Central Europe. Its population is known to suffer high mortality during hard winters, particularly when severe weather conditions cause migration. Long-term winter food management in two populations in Germany did not prevent migration events. To identify migration-triggering factors we tested the potential influence of snow, temperature, phase of winter and development of a tradition of migration. Comparing migratory behaviour with long-term local weather records, we found that snow cover is a much stronger trigger for migration than frost and low temperatures. We conclude that snow heavily affects the Great Bustard's energy balance mediated not only by limited food access but also by the particular properties of its plumage. This could explain migration events despite food availability and is consistent with our results concerning a tendency for females to undertake facultative winter migration more than males. Available data are currently insufficient to confirm or reject the idea that Great Bustard populations develop a tradition of migratory behaviour following a previous winter migration, and we found no evidence for a decrease in the disposition of the Great Bustard to migrate during the course of winter.

About Me Homeowner
Comments about iRobot Looj® 330:
I have used the "looj for three years and was very satisfied until the spinning head literally broke off while in the gutter. This occurred in normal use. I don't expect something t last forever, but hoenstly, I expected it to last longer than this.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Gives up too easily
By Sidicas
from Kansas City, MO
The Looj gives up too easily! 99% of the time it will think that it is hopelessly stuck when it is not. When it thinks it is stuck, it goes into "red mode" where it will not respond to the remote control at all! You cannot tell it to move and you cannot tell it to clean. You have to go and fetch it yourself and hit the power button on the side of the Looj unit make it reset.Ultimately you end up going into full manual mode where you basically double-click the forward button and hold it down until the remote control blinks yellow. When it blinks yellow it means that the Looj has run into more debris than it can handle. Let go and wait a couple seconds. Then put it in reverse for a few seconds. If you don't get any yellow then switch back to forward and repeat.If you get a yellow blink on the remote control, it's very important to stop sending commands to the robot. Otherwise you could risk it going into "red mode" and then you'll have to go and fetch it. Pressing the "clean" button is a sure way to get your Looj to go into "red mode" so I never use it and I drive the Looj manually from the remote. Which means sitting there baby-sitting the robot while it cleans. In my opinion, it's a serious software problem...A robot should never just go into a mode where it decides to completely ignore the remote control. Very annoying..Overall, it's still better than cleaning gutters manually. It just takes a bit of learning how to operate it well.

Did not work for us so we returned it.
By :-(
from Virginia
About Me Grandparent
The reason for the purchase was to eliminate having to climb up and down a ladder and move it all around the house. We had to stand on the ladder the entire time to watch the Looj was in the gutter in case it flipped over or flipped out of the gutter or just stopped after getting stuck and It had a difficult time cleaning leaves out of a wet gutter. I was able to clean six feet of gutter with the Looj in the time it took my husband to clean all the gutters around the house (over 300 feet) The Looj did not save us time or hard work with moving the ladder. The customer service was exceptional when I called to return the Looj. We have a Roomba 880 and LOVE it. Highly recommend the Roomba!

Loog 330 Worked as advertised
By Jimmy The Cleaner
from Haliburton, Ontario
About Me Midrange Shopper
I have a cottage that has about 350 lin feet of eavestrough. Have a lot of trees that drop leaves. Havent cleaned trough in a couple of years. The Loog 330 did what it was suppose to do. Was quite suprised of its ability. When the unit works hard, battery life is shorter than mentioned in specs... I would suggest a stronger battery. All in all the Loog 330 accomplished every thing i anticipated.

Took out the plants in the gutter
By Joe B
from Cincinnati, OH
About Me Budget Shopper
Used this on our rental properties. Found the gutter filled with two to three inches of dirt. Wet dirt. tied a clothes line to the end and took my time. It took it all out in about 15 minutes on a 40 foot gutter. Once or twice seen it suck down a 16" plant and I would stop it and drag it back and remove it. Then send it down to finish.

Using Linux (Debian)
At my current place of employment I'm behind an ISA proxy server, I'm not in a position to make any changes on this machine.
I'm developing software and have set up a virtual machine using kvm, almost everything works fine. The VM is on a virtual network 192.168.122.0
In /etc/profile I have the following environment variables:
I have the VM's name in /etc/hosts.
From the host I can ping the VM and connect via ssh by name.
I can't use a browser to connect to an apache server running on the VM, name resolution is passed to the ISA server and I get a failure displayed that the hostname could not be found (not surprised that corporate DNS doesn't know about my VM)..
I get the same in all browsers, so
elinks http://vmname
fails, even though
elinks -lookup vmname
returns the correct IP address for the VM.
However, "getent hosts vmname" returns the correct local IP for the VM.
If I do :
http_proxy="" elinks http://vmname
then I can connect via http fine.
Is there a configuration somewhere that I've missed? I've looked in /etc/nsswitch.conf & /etc/host.conf & /etc/resolv.conf
I notice that "host vmname" returns 2(SERVFAIL) rather than 3(NXDOMAIN). Is it possible to configure this such that I can connect both to external servers & my internal VM without re-configuring the browser for each?

Quadracci Powerhouse
With a voice like whiskey and a laugh like pure joy, Janis Joplin took the music scene by storm. Simultaneously rough and vulnerable, Joplin was dubbed the Queen of Rock n Roll, proving music wasnt just a mans world anymore. Packed with classic songs (Piece Of My Heart", Summertime, Mercedes Benz), the show also shines the spotlight on trailblazers who influenced Janis like Bessie Smith, Etta James and Aretha Franklin. Now, in a new musical event featuring more than a dozen singers and band members, playwright-director Randy Johnson creates a compelling portrait of an artist (Culturemob) through the words, inspiration and music of one of Americas greatest rock n roll originals.
» If you never got the chance to see Joplin live
this feels as close as you're going to get.
» Exhilarating
A joyful ruckus.

In these days where fame is instant and true musicianship rare, the word artist is an often-misused statement. As we are held hostage to a manufactured pop culture on a daily basis, I feel we must constantly revisit our cultural history and explore the authentic forces that have shaped the landscape of our lives. One of those authentic forces for me is Janis Joplin. Her fame was earned her following grew as she grew people were drawn to her and she was drawn to them.
Janis is a true artist without contrivance or artifice. People like to say ahead of her time. I happen to believe she was right on time. This isnt just Janis story: its all of our stories, in one way or another. We all touch and inform each other as we travel this life. The world is a better place because Janis was here for a moment and I trust that you will take away with you a piece of her heart, her spirit and her wisdom.

Everybody knows "blue" Monday. Sometimes we see "red." "Black" looks are disconcerting. Often the weak hearted show the "white" feather or a "yellow" streak. And that "dark brown" taste is not unknown. But if you want to keep in the "pink" of mental condition you mustn't let disturbing riots of color mess up your environment.

Georgia police continue to search for a killer who decapitated an elderly man last week in an upscale residential development in Putnam County. According to Macon.com, a new quest for clues is slated to take place on May 14, 2014 on the wooded, vacant lots in the Lake Oconee subdivision.
On May 6, Russell Dermond, 88, was found slain and beheaded by his neighbors in the garage of the Great Waters home he shared with his wife, Shirley Dermond, 87. She was nowhere to be found and the couple had not been heard from in days, Macon.com reports.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills is not optimistic Shirley will be found alive. Sills stated he has obtained her dental records in case they are needed for identification. Authorities believe Shirley may have been abducted.
Sills also addressed rumors that organized crime was involved in Russell's murder and Shirley's disappearance, saying such gossip was unfounded. According to AJC, Russell's head has not yet been found, and that investigators believe he was decapitated after being killed.
A Department of Natural Resources submarine was used Tuesday to search the peninsula area off Lake Oconee just beyond Russell and Shirley's home. According to AJC, nothing related to the case was discovered.
Sills said regarding tips about the case, "The psychics are calling, the idiots are calling… Unfortunately we'll have one legitimate call and there are eight idiots that call… We still desperately need that call that will break this case open," reports Macon.com.
Police say Russell was last seen on May 1 at a Publix Supermarket not far from home, and he may also have been seen the next day walking along a local golf course. Macon.com reports he owned a chain of Hardee's restaurants in the Atlanta area prior to retiring over a decade ago. The website notes he is survived by a daughter, two sons, and nine grandchildren. He would have celebrated his 89th birthday on June 6.
The FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, and various county law enforcement agencies located nearby are assisting Putnam County investigators to determine who killed Russell and to help find Shirley. Sills said he and his staff are working "nonstop" to attempt to solve this mysterious crime, according to Macon.com.

Germany has an area of about 357,000 sq km/137,800 sq mi. Occupying a central position in Europe, it extends from Denmark in the north to Switzerland and Austria in the south.
It is bordered on the west by the Benelux countries and France and on the east by Poland and the Czech Republic. It has a coastline both on the North Sea and the Baltic.
North Germany is part of the North European Plain and is generally low-lying and rather flat. Central and southern Germany is hilly and rises southwards towards the Alps on the Austrian border.
This increasing altitude in the centre and south of the country compensates for the decreasing latitude so that in summer temperatures do not differ much from north to south. However, in winter temperatures decrease, and the number of days with frost and snow increase both southwards and eastwards.
This is a consequence of increasing distance from the sea, higher altitude, and the effect of cold easterly winds from Russia.
Germany has a variable climate with frequent changes of weather from day to day. The character of individual summers and winters may also be very different from year to year, depending on whether oceanic or continental influences dominate.
During severe winters rivers and canals may freeze and snow may lie for long periods. Over most of the country summer is marginally wetter than winter but in the west autumn may be the wettest season. Summer rain is often thundery. The annual range of temperature is least in the northwest and increases southwards and eastwards.
For a more detailed description of weather and climate the country can be divided into seven regions: the North Sea coast, the Baltic coast, the North German Plain, the North Rhineland, the central and southern hills, the upper Rhine, and the Bavarian Alps (see map).
The Baltic Coast
Including (with towns and cities in parentheses) Schleswig-Holstein (Kiel), Mecklenburg-West Pomerania (Rostock).
This region includes the east coast of Schleswig-Holstein and the north coast of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. It has a more severe winter than the North Sea coast, particularly in winters when there is much sea ice in the Baltic. Summers are rather more settled than on the North Sea coast, with more sunshine, but rain is often thundery. See the tables for Kiel and Rostock.
The North German Plain
Including (with towns and cities in parentheses) North Rhine-Westphalia (Düsseldorf), Niedersachsen (Hannover), Saxony-Anhalt (Magdeburg), Brandenburg (Berlin).
This is a low-lying, gently undulating area which is a western extension of the great North European Plain. From the Dutch border to Poland there is no great difference in climate or weather except that winters become colder eastwards and the summers more settled and slightly warmer.
During severe cold spells in winter, canals and navigable rivers may freeze. Such cold spells are caused by persistent easterly winds blowing from Russia. However in some winters such spells are short and infrequent. Summers are generally more settled than in the coastal regions to the north.
Although summer is the wettest season, the rain is often thundery and short-lived, so that summer sunshine amounts are moderately high.
The Central and Southern Hills
Including (with towns and cities in parentheses) Bavaria (Munich, Nuremberg, Rothenberg), Hessen (Kassel), Saxony (Leipzig, Dresden), Baden-Württemberg (Stuttgart), Saarland (Saarbrücken).
This extensive region of central and south Germany includes all the higher ground south of the North German Plain up to the Alpine foothills of Bavaria as well as the hills west of the Rhine gorge. As the tables for Kassel, Leipzig and Munich show there is not a very great difference in weather and climate over this extensive region.
Temperature varies mainly as a result of altitude so that the higher parts of Bavaria and the Harz Mountains have the coldest winters and the longest duration of snow cover. Summers are generally warm with much sunshine, despite the heavier summer rainfall.
Frosts may be severe in some valleys in winter despite the lower altitude. As in much of central Europe summers may vary in character from one year to another, some being warm and dry, others cloudy and wet.
The Northeast Coastlands
Including (with towns and cities in parentheses) Hamburg (Hamburg).
This region includes the coast from the mouth of the River Ems to that of the Elbe, the East Frisian Islands and the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein. This is the mildest area of Germany in winter but the weather can be cold when east winds prevail. Autumn tends to be the wettest season.
Weather can be variable at all seasons and the region is open to the influence of Atlantic storms. The average daily sunshine ranges from about two hours in winter to six in summer. Conditions are represented by the table for Hamburg.
The North Rhineland
Including (with towns and cities in parentheses) North Rhine-Westphalia (Cologne, Bonn, Essen), Hessen (Frankfurt-am-Main).
This northwestern district of Germany includes the Ruhr industrial region and the gorge section of the Rhine valley from Mannheim to Bonn. On either side of the Rhine gorge are uplands such as the Eifel plateau and Westerwald hills, where the climate is similar to that of the Central and Southern Hills.
The climatic tables for Cologne and Frankfurt are representative of the lowland section of this region which contains many large and important towns. The hill slopes along the Rhine and Moselle valleys have a climate particularly suitable to the cultivation of the vine.
Winters can be quite cold and the summer weather is often disturbed and variable but is generally sufficiently warm and sunny to make this a notable area for wine.
The Upper Rhine Valley
Including (with towns and cities in parentheses) southwestern Baden-Württemburg, the Black Forest (Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Baden, Heidelberg).
This small district of southwest Germany includes the German portion of the Upper Rhine valley as far as the Swiss frontier. In spring and summer it is the warmest part of the country and produces a wide variety of crops, including vines and tobacco.
It is a sunny region in summer with up to eight hours sunshine per day. Winters are however quite cold because of proximity to the Alps and distance from the ocean. See the table for Freiburg im Breisgau.
The Bavarian Alps
Including (with towns and cities in parentheses) the southernmost part of Bavaria (Oberammergau, Berchtesgaden).
This small mountain region extends along the border with the Austrian Tirol; it contains the highest mountains in Germany and is a popular area for winter sports. It has a number of lake resorts which are popular in summer. Weather and climate are similar to that found in the Austrian Tirol. See the table for Innsbruck.
Winters are cold and snowy but the summers are moderately warm despite being rather wet.

After recovering from a vocal-cord injury in 2011, he was itching to push past his usual sounds – so he teamed up with A-list producers like Mike Elizondo (who's worked with everyone from 50 Cent to Fiona Apple). The resulting LP has plenty of Urban's usual stadium-ready hooks, but it also has touches of electro, alt-rock and even industrial music.

Posted by mleyba on 05/08/2012 3:18pm MDT tags: Photo
House Republicans filibustered in committee and on the floor Tuesday before Speaker Frank McNulty of Highlands Ranch called a two-hour recess. When he returned around 11 p.m. it was to announce an impasse, which meant the death of the civil-union measure although the votes were there to pass it. Supporters in the gallery were livid and chanted, "Shame on you! Shame on you!"

How to Budget for Salaries
Original post by Lisa Magloff of Demand Media
To create a budget for employee salaries in your business, you need to determine how much each employee is going to cost you. Setting the basic salary range for each position is only the first step, you also need to determine how much you will be paying in taxes, insurance and benefits on each employee. Once you have done this, you can determine how much money you will need to budget for each employee. There is no generic model for determining employee costs as they are different in each industry, and for each company.
Step 1
Collect information on what you are currently paying each employee, and on how many employees will be receiving raises or bonuses in the coming year. Make sure you include salaries for any new employees you plan to hire.
Step 2
Determine your federal tax costs for each employee. You will need to pay a 6.2 percent social security/Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax on all annual salaries up to $90,000. You will also need a Medicare tax of 1.45 percent on all salaries, and an unemployment tax of 6.2 percent on all salaries of $7,000 and higher.
Step 3
Contact your state's labor department to find out which state taxes you are responsible for paying. This may include a state unemployment tax. Keep in mind that if you pay a state unemployment tax, your federal unemployment tax contribution may be reduced.
Step 4
Budget for workers' compensation insurance. You may not need this, depending on your business, and the costs will vary from one industry to the next. For example, workers compensation insurance will be higher for the construction industry than for a less hazardous business. Contact an insurance agent and ask for a quote.
Step 5
Decide what benefits you will provide for your employees, and determine the cost of these benefits. For example, you may want to offer life insurance, disability insurance, dental plans, health insurance coverage, retirement plans or child care. Some of these, such as 401k retirement plans, are employee-paid. But others, such as health insurance, will come out of your budget. Remember that there will also be administrative costs associated with each benefit.
Step 6
Factor in an amount for recruitment costs. These include the cost of advertising a position and the time involved in interviewing, and in training new hires.
Step 7
Add up all of the figures in the previous steps for each employee to determine the total cost of your employees. Factor in an addition amount, such as 10 percent of the total, to cover unforeseen events.
Step 8
Use metrics to make the calculations easier. For example, the typical employee costs between 1.25 and 1.4 times their base salary. Simply multiply each salary in your business by 1.25 to 1.4 to come up with an estimate of the total cost per employee. Or use an average per employee. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, average total employee compensation by region, as of 2011, is $24.93 per hour in southern states, $32.16 per hour in the Northeast, $29.95 in the West, $27.47 in the Midwest, $22.65 in East South Central and $33.56 in New England.
Tips & Warnings
- You may also want to budget for additional employee costs, such as providing office space, computers and phones to your employees.
