that it pays to plant cotton much

Xew York city has a $500,000 drive

of the vice ptv Jdents of the Associa

When tho newspaper reporters in

sho said: "Mr. Speyer ls an old and
esteemed friend of tho Army, but 1
tbink ho will havo to change bis
views if ho is to continue as chair

regardless of costs. lOne of New
York's great politicians, who has tbe
power to do what he says, has prac

that this utterance of Miss Booth is
"politics." Miss Booth's address is
120 West 14th street, New York City.
We cannot and must not forget the
splendid work of this organization
during tho war days. Then they sac
rificed and rendered glorious service

Tho wind was blowing a gale, and
tho sleet was coming down vory fast,
a3 Martha Jones sulked in tho corner
on tho lounge. She had planned to
attond tho big ball gamo that after
noon and was compelled to stay in
doors because of tho bad weather.
"I boliovo there is bad weather
every timo 'I plan to go somewhere
and have a little fun," she said to
her aunt, who was sitting by tho Uro,
quietly knitting.
"No, no, Martha; not so bad as
that! Tho weather doesn't seem so
bad when ono's time is occupied,"
said tho aunt.
Martha still sulked.
Tho aunt continued: "Why do you
not make somo gifts for tho littlo
children at tho orphanage? You
know Christmas will be hero soon."
"Pshaw! Tho orphans don't inter
est me in tho least. How absurd of
you to suggest such a tiling, Aunt
"1 suggested it because I thought
you would enjoy doing something for
the littlo orphans," her aunt said,
"Enjoy lt! No, 1 wouldn't enjoy
it. if 1 had my way I'd not have an
orphanage In this town," stormed
Martha to her aunt.
Just then their conversation was
interrupted by a loud knock on the
door. Martha, upon going to the
door, saw ono of tho most pitiable
spectacles that eyes over rested on,
for there stood one of the most rag
ged and dirty little boys.
"Please, ma'am," bo said, "could
n't you give mo a biscuit or soinc
; liing to oat? 1 haven't had anything
to eat sineo yesterday morning."
"Where is ymir home?" nsked Mar
tha, her voice more gent?o than when
she had spoken to her aunt.
"Daddy and mamma are both
dead." ho said, as ibo (oars bogan to
lind their way down his little pale
and pinched face.
Martha's heart was moved, and she
gave the lil tie fellow a good dinner,
then carried him to the orphanage.
When she returned home she said to
her aunt, "I'll never say such things
about tho orphans ngain; and I don't
think tho weather is so bad after
"I am glad to hear you talk thal
way," her aunt answered.
It is much better to be cheerful
than to sulk when you can't get all
things your way.

Frosh Eggs for Mn Uro Year.
Clemson College, April 18.-Dur
ing April and May, whon eggs aro
plentiful, of higher duality, and tho
market price is vory low, is tho best
time io preserve eggs, according to
N. R. Mehrhof, extension poultry spe
cialist, who suggests that only tho
strictly frosh eggs should bo pre
served; that dirty eggs or eggs that
have been washed, should not bo
used; that washed eggs will not koop
because tho protectivo coating has
been removed by tho washing, and
dirty eggs will become tainted in fla
vor, and that infertile oggs aro bet
ter than fertile oggs for preserving.

Water that has boen boiled and

Marty McFly's self tying "Power Laces" sneakers were the coolest thing back in the 1989 iconic sequel film "Back to the Future II." As it turns out, they are still way cool, so much so that 26 years later, Nike plans to manufacture them.
According to SkyNews today, designer Tinker Hatfield, the creative mind behind Nike's most popular and innovative athletic shoe designs, will once again partner with Nike to release the fictional Back To The Future II sneakers that fans of the trilogy will instantly recognize.
As part of last weekend's NBA All Star festivities, Hatfield discussed the upcoming sneaker at the Jordan Brand Flight Lab in New Orleans. When asked about the chances of power laces coming next year, Hatfield said:
"Are we gonna see power laces in 2015? To that, I say YES!"
Back in 2011, Nike released a similar design of the shoe, called the Nike Air MAG. However, the shoes were never on sale to the general public. Only 1,500 pairs of shoes were made and auctioned off on eBay to support the Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson's Research. The shoes pulled in a whopping six million dollars in proceeds to help the charity.
Sole Collector points out that Hatfield didn't specify whether power laces will show up on the Nike Mag, or some other similar design.
But sneaker heads and fans of the "Future" won't have to wait long. If you remember, 2015 was the year that Marty and Doc time traveled to. And now the futuristic sneaks are almost here.

M60: =ConVolNA_Val*Volumes!BJ9*(SUMIF(UsVendVuc,$BM8,'Vendor Unit Costs'!BO$319:'Vendor Unit Costs'!BO$618)+BJ8)On another sheet with formulas, we are setting up some formulas and letting the user select what month's costs to use. So, for example, if they say they want to use month 2, then the formula for the costs should reference column I on the Vendor Unit Costs sheet (i.e.we would need to use SUMIF(UsVendVuc,$BM8,'Vendor Unit Costs'!I$319:'Vendor Unit Costs'!I$618)) . Therefore, I'd like to have a formula that will automatically set the formula to use the correct column (H thru BO), depending on the month number they enter. Does anyone know how this can be done? We don't want to have to create 60 more columns of just the monthly cost formulas because this would add alot to the tool since it would have to be added for every geo, cost type, etc.

Everybody knows that gaming PCs pack the ultimate gaming punch. They simply have the video memory and graphics chips that consoles lack. However, that power can sometimes be problematic. PCs can be bulky, loud, and also tend to get hot. But now, with Steam Machines you can get PC gaming from the body of a console.
Basically, a Steam Machine is a new breed of computer that delivers games to your computer the way Roku delivers movies. These computers run the SteamOS--an interface that turns video game browsing into movie shopping on Netflix. These machines have top of the line graphics chips and run efficiently enough to stay cool. By comparison, a console like the PS4, would be running a chip about a year or two behind a Steam Machine.
The problem is though is the limited gaming library. Right now, 400 of the 2,900 titles that Steam owns licensing for will play on the SteamOS--a consequence of its underlying Linux code. There is hope though. Crytek, creators of the popular series Crysis, will include full Linux support and it seems other companies will follow suit.
Could this finally be the end of console gaming? Not likely. But it still shows that companies are still aiming to take down the giants of the gaming business.

Beneficiary of part of the compensation for the Bagdale and Fullerswood esates in St Elizabeth, the compensation for which was awarded to John Griffith as 'Trustee of William Rowe an Infant and Annuitant.'
The Bagdale and Fullerswood estates had belonged to James Rowe of Great Torrington Devon. The family appears to have moved to Jamaica, with little trace in Devon after c. 1785. In 1780 his children were identified as William Rowe of St Elizabeth (the eldest and heir apparent), James Rowe the younger of St Elizabeth, John Rowe of Great Torrington clerk, Charles Rowe of St Elizabeth and two daughters, Judith and Mary of Great Torrington. The will of James Rowe of Great Torrington was proved 07/09/1785: the James Rowe deceased shown in Jamaica Almanacs of the 1820s was presumably his son (or grandson) and William Rowe the minor of the award his grandson or great-grandson. The Rev. James John Rowe (q.v.) was also a member of this same family, the son of James Rowe of Redland Gloucestershire whose will was proved 29/01/1821.
A William Rowe (1813-1897), identified in genealogical sources as son of Charles Rowe and Mary Gauntlett, was possibly the William Rowe aged 37 West India merchant born Jamaica living in 1851 in Edge Lane, West Derby. John James Rowe, a South America merchant of Liverpool who died in 1875, leaving £180,000, was the son of Charles Rowe (1754-1821) of Grant's Green estate in Manchester.

Fellow board posters and long shareholders today mark a day we all long awaited for .From day one I never wavered or flip flopped in my very strong position toward CBEH ,its professionals,and management .as many of you we were patient and waited out the nay sayers and shorts. And we took the high road and kept it professional,lets keep the strong support going.Everything that I ever posted was to support the longs and defend the many lies that people were stating on this board toward CBEH. i believed and knew the truth would come out.we need to continue to support CBEH as our investment will continue to increase in value!!!Don't be surprised if the shorts ,and naysayers still try to bash the positive news today! In life people in general do not want accept the truth,or be told when they are wrong.Well its upward and onward...buy while you can $3.50 to $6.50 very soon!Toby Grand.
Thank you for everything, TOBY:GLTA LONGS,
Thanks Toby for your DD. I was not able to go myself visit but I have contact in china who did it for me.
Great Job Toby!
Congrats Toby! It's very rewarding to see that there are legit Chinese companies out there. The shorts that go over the line will eventually pay. LPH is another legit RTO that will eventually have its day just like CBEH. I initiated a position today in CBEH to enjoy the growth in stock price that is coming! Check out LPH.

An artificial heart device tested in Louisville, Ky., will soon be available to patients who have no other treatment options.
The artificial heart has only been tested in 14 men. Two died from the operation and another never regained consciousness.
The rest survived only an average of five months, with one exception. A Western Kentucky man lived 17 months.
The Food and Drug Administration says the device's maker can sell up to 4,000 of them a year.
A FDA spokeswoman says the number of devices likely to be implanted will be between 25 and 50 a year.
Half the implants were done at Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Ky.

canSURVIVE History
canSURVIVE© was originally proposed to Needs Beyond Medicine© by Chad Hurst in 2008. It was meant to be a way to raise awareness of the organization and drive funds into the various programs Needs Beyond Medicine© offers. Being a cancer survivor himself, and a photographer by trade, Chad wanted to capture cancer survivors through his photo lens and let them describe in their own words what it means to be a cancer survivor.
In 2009, with the additional resources of Heather Hurst and Needs Beyond Medicine's Executive Philip Brown, the first canSURVIVE© gala became a reality. The first fundraiser was held on September 24, 2009 at the Depot in Salt Lake City. This unique gallery fundraiser featured the photographs and inspirational stories of more than two dozen cancer survivors. The event was a huge success and, after Chad graciously volunteered to continue photographing these amazing cancer survivors, the Needs Beyond Medicine© organization chose to continue the event as an annual fundraiser.
The canSURVIVE© gallery touches people in a way that no past event has. It speaks to the need for enhanced awareness of cancer prevention, and increased support for people going through cancer treatment. We appreciate all of the survivors who have graciously donated their time and shared their inspirational stories in support of canSURVIVE©. With the help of sponsors and public donations, canSURVIVE© has the ability to reach out to other communities and help additional people in need.


text: Aug 27, 2014 11:17 UL-Lafayette camp report: Jordan Davis, Brooks Haack make their moves UL-Lafayette camp report: Jordan Davis, Brooks Haack make their moves Advocate staff photo by BRYAN TUCK -- Louisiana-Lafayette quarterback Brooks Haack came off the bench to take over for an injured Terrance Broadway during last week's loss to 31-28 loss to Louisiana-Monroe. BY BRIAN HUDGINS| Special to The Advocate Aug. 12, 2014; 11:46 p.m. Comments Quarterback Jordan Davis, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound freshman from Spring, Texas, has taken some steps up the UL-Lafayette depth chart, moving to the No. 3 spot. "He has really moved ahead of everybody else as the No. 3 (quarterback)," coach Mark Hudspeth said. "He runs extremely well and has a live arm. Now it's the part of getting him to learn the system, pick everything up and avoid the typical freshman mistakes and miscues." Sophomore Brooks Haack is the backup to starting quarterback Terrance Broadway. Haack completed 21 of 35 passes last season for 224 yards with a touchdown and an interception. "Brooks Haack has had a really solid camp," Hudspeth said. "He is throwing the ball much better and looks way more confident in the pocket. He is showing more poise moving around in the pocket." Moving mountains of mud By moving mountains of mud in a timely manner, the UL-Lafayette football program is counting on the final stages of all that dirty work leading to a clean and crisp fan experience at Cajun Field this season. Several expansion projects are being finished in and around the stadium in advance of the Aug. 30 season opener against Southern. "The high-profile project is the (south) end-zone (expansion) project, with the seating, the concession stands and the restrooms," said John Dugas, the associate athletics director of internal operations. "That is pretty much just confined to the hill. Everything else you see as you are driving in ... the north end-zone RV project is going on. That is a lot of underground electrical work." The new RV lot in the north end zone will fit up to 81 RVs. In addition to the amenities fans can see directly, other infrastructure projects are in the works, including bringing utilities to the Athletic Performance Center. That is the cause of much of the digging in the tailgating areas and the parking lots. "We had hoped to have the infrastructure project done a little bit sooner, just so we could have grass growing and there wouldn't be so much mud," Dugas said. "But our physical plant department and grounds (crew) are planting grass and doing everything they can to get it ready." The expanded seating in Cajun Field will account for an additional 6,000 seats. With standing-room-only areas and grass-area seating on the north end of the stadium, the new target seating capacity is a little more than 42,000. "We have our final inspection coming up from the fire marshal," Dugas said. "We are looking to get approval for about 42,000 total capacity for the Southern game. Working with the state fire marshal's office, we are looking to get that wrapped up in the next couple of weeks." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Valentine's Day is the time for bubbly and that is when I discovered Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato Champagne. It was perfect for Valentine's Day because it's pink, but it can (and should) be enjoyed any day of the week. The champagne is bubbly-sweet with red tree fruit and berries flavors. It's really good if you like sweet champagne. It paired perfect with the Godiva box of chocolates I received from my husband.
Barefoot Wine has six different types of the Bubbly champagne (in order of dry to sweet) – Brut Cuvee, Pinot Grigio, Extra Dry, Moscato Spumante, Pink Moscato, and Red Moscato. Barefoot extended their Bubbly line with Barefoot Fusion. Barefoot Bubby Fusion has three different flavors – Berry, Citrus and Tropical.
The Fusion line is sparkling wine that is "infused" with fruit flavors. Berry Fusion is infused with pomegranate, cranberry and plum. Tropical is infused with pineapple, island mango and papaya. I decided to try Citrus, which infused with blood orange, passion fruit and sweet peach. YUM! Another great find! Considering it was only $9.99 and it was awesome, I should have bought another bottle. I'm definitely going to try the other flavors.
The following Barefoot Bubbly and Fusion items are a steal at $9.99 ($3.00 off) at Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores through March 2, 2014:
Barefoot Bubbly Brut
Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry
Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato
Barefoot Bubbly Fusion Berry
Barefoot Bubbly Fusion Citrus
Barefoot Bubbly Fusion Tropical
Enjoy! Salute!

Dermagist Acne Treatment System
Dermagist Acne Treatment System Grade: A+
This was a really great product, for the treatment of acne, as well as the overall health of the skin and body. NO other acne product on the market worked as well as Dermajuv. Amazingly fast results, along with the fact that there are no side effects, makes the Dermajuv Acne Treatment System the #1 pick of acnecream.com.
Visit Dermagist.com to learn more or buy.
Completely free of Benzoyl Peroxide, this is a dramatically effective acne treatment with some serious science behind it. The most important parts of treating acne is killing of the bacteria that cause the pimples, and healing and calming the skin without making the acne itself worse. That is a very tough challenge, and most companies resort to harsh chemicals to "try" to get the job done. Dermagist, on the other hand, tackles the two sides of treating acne Head-on, and does so all naturally. Here is how we reviewed the Demagist Acne Treatment System on both the clearing and healing sides of the coin.
First, the main ingredient used to kill the acne causing bacteria, in both the cleanser and the acne cream is Resveratrol. Oxford University released a study that showed Resveratrol as equally effective as Benzoyl Peroxide in killing the bacteria, but because it has NONE of the dangerous side effects that benzoyl has, it is a far better solution… Read the study on the Oxford Journals. More costly, but far better. As an additional benefit, Resveratrol is a very powerful antioxidant, which can help get the toxins out of the skin too, which boosts the products' ability to clear acne even further. Lastly, we have all heard of the miraculous anti aging benefits of Resveratrol.. It has been discussed on Dr. Oz, Oprah, Barbara Walters, and even 60 minutes, as a potential miracle cure for aging. Resveratrol's use in Dermagist's acne products have nothing to do with the whole "anti aging buzz" surrounding this ingredient, but hey, it's pretty cool to know that you are not only clearing up your acne, but also giving your skin a powerful anti aging treatment as well.
What else does it have that clears the acne? The cleanser uses Glycolic Acid to gently exfoliate the dead skin and bacteria that often cause acne too. It's a gentle treatment that doesn't run the risk of irritating the acne further, yet it gets the job done of stimulating new healthy cell growth in the skin. The cleanser also has Tangerine oil in it, which further exfoliates and kills bacteria, while also priming the skin to absorb the therapeutic ingredients that calm and sooth the redness and infection that comes with acne.
The acne cream, in addition to the resveratrol, contains Niacinimide and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate to naturally and almost immediately begin clearing and healing the acne. "The acne literally starts to go away right before your eyes", was a comment from a user we asked for a review from. The report was that there was no peeling or shiny dryness that usually goes along with acne treatments. Instead, the skin stayed moist and oil free, with a healthy glow… all while the acne and redness was literally washed away.
Clearing the actual pimples is only one thing that this system does. The other side of the coin, is that it soothes and calms that red, irritated skin, that makes the acne so visible. Making the acne less visible to the eye, is just as important as killing the pimples.
What does Dermagist's acne system do in regard to making the RED go away?
- It has Chamomile, which is known for its incredible soothing and "red removing" properties.
- Aloe Vera is contained in the cleanser for its amazing healing and calming properties.
- Shea butter moisturizes and calms the skin, all without clogging pores or adding grease or oil.
Overall, the Dermagist Acne Treatment System is the best thing for the money, when it comes to curing acne, and making it less visible. We highly recommend it, based on its performance, as well as it's safe, all natural ingredients.
There is a huge difference between Dermajuv's acne system and other industry leaders… Dermajuv refuses to use Benzoyl Peroxide in their creams or cleansers. The reason is that Benzoyl Peroxide causes Free Radicals in the skin, and that is the same as spending time unprotected in the sun. Also, it irritates the skin, and often causes the acne to look worse. Overdry and flaky is often how the skin is described when Benzoyl Peroxide is used. That, combined with the development of tumors in lab tests with mice, Benzoyl Peroxide is deemed DANGEROUS by Dermajuv and is BANNED from use in any Dermajuv product.

Concluding Statement of the IMF Mission on the Economic Policies of the Euro Area
(In the Context of the 2002 Article IV Consultation Discussions with the Euro-Area Countries)
July 12, 2002
Outlook: Changing Risks to Growth and Inflation
1. Until recently, our expectation was that the gradual upturn of economic activity that began in the first quarter of this year would accelerate to above potential during the latter half of the year, before settling down close to potential in 2003. The genesis of this recovery was, as had been the case in the initial stages of past recoveries, a boost from net exports. This was expected to be succeeded fairly quickly by a resumption of domestic demand growth.
2. Recent developments have unsettled this outlook:
Overall, absent a stronger global recovery, recent developments suggest that growth in 2002 may be somewhat weaker than expected. Moreover, uncertainty and downside risks have increased looking forward. However, barring significantly more pronounced shocks than we have seen so far, the basic prospect would seem to remain one of an upswing back to potential growth.
3. The inflation outlook in the baseline was more of a concern, mainly because of a renewed spurt in headline inflation and stubbornly high core inflation at the beginning of the year. Although attributable in good part to one-off weather, energy, and euro changeover effects, the acceleration also coincided with wage pressures, increases in inflationary expectations, and supportive monetary conditions. In this environment, inflation was expected to recede only slowly to just below 2 percent in 2003.
4. While questions remain about the nature of recent inflation shocks and monetary trends, recent developments should assuage concerns on the inflation front at least to some extent:
Monetary Policy Considerations
5. The immediate implication of these developments is to ease the pressure on monetary policy. The dilemma of the past months, created by the difficult-to-decipher increase in core inflation while recovery remained weak, has diminished. The favorable effects of the appreciation of the euro together with the increased downside risks to growth provide breathing room to ascertain inflation prospects. In the same vein, the required strengthening of domestic demand necessary for sustaining growth prospects also argues for a delay in the timing of the increases in interest rates that need to accompany the recovery.
6. Looking back at the record of monetary policy, the responses to the shocks that hit the area over the last three years were appropriate. Despite this broadly shared view, perceptions of the ECB's monetary framework and how it relates to policy decisions, though improved, remain more mixed. This is despite empirical evidence, including our own work, indicating that markets' ability in predicting the ECB's decisions has been broadly comparable to that of other major central banks. In our view, these perceptions owe in part to the two-pillar strategy, which seeks to bring to bear the distinctive perspectives of traditional monetary and inflation targeting frameworks. The prominent role of money in the first pillar has its roots in the area's collective monetary history, and is supported by evidence indicating a strong link between nominal money growth and inflation over long periods. This link is, however, more tenuous over shorter periods, and the framework has thus proved taxing for communicating policy decisions. In our view, communication would be made easier if policy decisions were related more clearly to the different time horizons of the two pillars.
7. Critics have argued that the ECB's definition of price stability does not provide the clearest guide for inflationary expectations and that the stated price stability objective may be too low. In this regard, we note the recent statements by ECB officials recognizing the need for vigilance were inflation to fall toward an excessively low level, and that a small positive rate of inflation, "say between 1 and 2 percent" would significantly reduce the risks of getting trapped in a deflationary spiral. These statements are consistent with our reading of the interest rate decisions of the ECB over the past 3 ½ years. If this interpretation is correct, these statements are a helpful clarification of the ECB's price stability objective. They help dispel concerns about potential asymmetries in policy responses at low rates of inflation. Our reading of the evidence is that trend rates of inflation in the upper half of this range would provide reasonable insurance against the risk of getting stuck in a liquidity trap while allowing room for relative wage adjustments among the members of the union in the face of nominal downward rigidities.
8. The main fiscal issue confronting the euro area is for the three largest countries to deliver on their commitments to achieve fiscal positions close to balance or in surplus by 2004 and thereby impart badly needed credibility to the SGP framework. In our view, the framework is sound and well-suited to the fiscally decentralized structure of the union. It permitted use of the automatic stabilizers last year and affords necessary flexibility to those who meet its fundamental requirements. Moreover, despite the controversies attaching to individual members' difficulties in meeting their commitments, we view the decisions to date as still affording the prospect that these countries will adjust in the upswing phase of the cycle.
9. We estimate the three largest countries' current commitments to imply underlying (i.e. cyclically adjusted) adjustment of ½ to ¾ percent of GDP per annum. Adjustments of this magnitude are difficult but doable. Indeed, a ½ percent of GDP per annum pace (free of one-off measures) is essential from the standpoint of getting the SGP over its transition phase and of addressing the procyclical bias of fiscal policy in upswings. Beyond the quantitative targets, however, it is the quality of the adjustment—the extent to which it addresses longstanding issues in key spending areas—that is crucial to the sustainability of the consolidation effort. In this regard, it is important that tax cuts be financed by upfront expenditure restraint.
10. It is unfortunate that adjustment policies need to be pursued at a time when the upswing is potentially less buoyant. In this context, it would be inappropriate to reinforce the envisaged pace of adjustment in order to achieve particular nominal targets in the face of weak growth. That is, the automatic stabilizers should be allowed full play around the envisaged adjustment paths. Demand effects would also be contained by the increase in the credibility that would result from completing the transitional adjustments, benefits that would accrue to all members. Credibly implemented, such policies would also provide a basis for a shift in the policy mix—tighter fiscal and easier monetary. This is also appropriate in the context of an appreciating euro.
11. Fiscal adjustment and the teething phases of a new fiscal framework are bound to be somewhat noisy processes. Recent developments suggest that this will continue as countries seek to steer clear of the 3 percent deficit limit in the face of the revenue-adverse composition of demand so far this year and weak growth. In this regard it would be helpful to limit the implications of the inevitable pressures to test the limits of the SGP through more timely reporting requirements and speedier disposition of issues as regards acceptable and unacceptable "fiscal measures."
12. Although much remains to be done to bridge the gap between words and deeds, there appears to be a new impetus to reforms in financial, product, and labor markets:
Trade Policies
13. A successful completion of the Doha round would hold the promise of large benefits for all trading nations. We are concerned, however, over the recent deterioration in transatlantic trade relations and over the impact this might have on progress under the Doha Round. It is important that all parties do their utmost to avoid a further escalation of these conflicts. Moreover, progress under the Doha round is likely to require that the EU pursue a flexible approach on issues (environment, labor standards, competition) that go beyond the traditional core of trade negotiations. On the market access front, the determination to reduce and perhaps eliminate tariff peaks and escalation on non-agricultural products is welcome. On agriculture, the reforms set out in the mid-term review of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) would significantly ease market distortions if adopted. The EU has taken a significant and welcome step in improving market access conditions for least-developed countries under the Everything-but-Arms initiative, and aims to conclude cooperation agreements with the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries. The proliferation of regional and bilateral agreements should not, however, stand in the way of multilateral liberalization.

Motorola (NYSE: MOT) manufactures and markets communication systems and services. Founded in 1928 in Chicago, it is currently headquartered in Schaumburg, Ill., under co-CEOs Gregory Brown and Dr. Sanjay Jha.
Company Description
If you've ever talked to someone else far away while you were on the move -- whether on foot, in a car, or, in far rarer instances, rocketing toward the moon in a space capsule -- chances are you have Motorola to thank. Though it's primarily known today for its mobile communication devices, including the two-way radios and cellular phones it helped pioneer, Motorola one spanned a much broader spectrum of the electronics market, including radios, televisions, and computer chips.
Brothers Paul and Joseph Galvan founded the Galvan Manufacturing Company in Chicago in 1928. Though they initially entered the market with battery eliminators, devices that converted battery-powered radios to run on household electrical current, they secured the company's future by subsequently developing the first popular and widely used car radio. Today's car radios are easily slotted into the dash by technicians, and just as swiftly removed by enterprising thieves. But the company's first model, completed in 1930, was a much more complex feat of engineering, with parts crammed into various locations throughout the car, including under the floor. The radio was dubbed the Motorola, combining "motor" with "Victrola," a then-popular brand of phonographs. Despite the ongoing Depression, it sold well enough to help the Galvans' company thrive.
In subsequent decades, the company invented or popularized a number of gadgets we now take for granted:
- The two-way radio, including the huge handsets and backpack models you've probably seen in countless World War II movies.
- The police radio.
- The car phone, released in 1946.
- The rectangular color TV tube.
In 1969, Motorola radios conveyed Neil Armstrong's first words from the moon. Four years later, the company unleashed perhaps its most influential invention yet -- a prototype of the first portable cellular phone. The company's first enormous, boxy, hilarious-in-hindsight cellular telephones finally found their way into the hands of high-powered business types in 1984. (To the company's credit, it would also introduce the StarTAC, predecessor to today's ever-tinier cell phones, in 1996.)
In 1986, the company also developed the Six Sigma management process, which would achieve greater fame in the halls of General Electric. Its chips also powered many of Apple's signature computers.
Unfortunately, Motorola took a huge gamble in the late '90s, and lost badly. It was the primary backer for Iridium, a company whose network of satellites enabled a truly global telephone network. But the project was massively expensive, the handsets bulky, and the service extremely costly. (If you've ever seen TV's Jack Bauer shouting urgently into an unusually large telephone with a huge, fat antenna, he's probably using an Iridium-based satellite phone.) Customers didn't adopt the Iridium in the numbers Motorola needed to avoid massive debts; the $6 billion project was eventually sold to private investors for a mere $25 million.
To foot the bill for Iridium's bellyflop, and make up for further downturns in its fortunes, Motorola had to get rid of many of its divisions in the early 2000s. It divested its government contracting and automotive systems arms, and spun off its ailing semiconductor business as Freescale in 2003. The new, leaner Motorola scored a hit in 2004 with its super-sleek RAZR handset, but couldn't match that success with subsequent models.
In 2008, the company announced plans to split itself into two sister companies, one making mobile handsets for consumers, and the other creating the technology to power cellular networks and other communications systems.
Motorola currently operates three major divisions:
- Enterprise Mobility Solutions provides voice and data networking tools for business and government, including radio systems, bar code scanners, and business-sized wireless networks.
- Home & Networks Mobility builds set-top boxes and other infrastructure and devices for cable and phone companies, among other clients.
- Mobile Devices makes various handsets and smart phones, all of which quietly hope they'll be the next RAZR.

Airedale Breeder.com
Airedale Information Directory
Breeder Referral
to Pick a Breeder
to Pick a Puppy
Get Listed
First, pick the litter. Then, pick from the litter.
It cannot be stressed enough that picking an Airedale Terrier
litter is more important than picking a puppy. Pick a litter
from a ill-tempered female Airedale who had little prenatal
care and chances are that the puppies will develop into ill
tempered and/or sickly dogs. On the other hand, if you pick
a litter from an experienced breeder who has bred a healthy,
well conformed female dog to a amicable well-trained stud
and chances are that all the puppies will develop into happy,
healthy, and trainable dogs. Unfortunately, every
breeder will try to convice a buyer that their litter belongs
to the latter category. Read our section on picking
a breeder to learn how to evaluate more than what the
breeder is saying.
Some breeders will pick a puppy for you or give you
a choice of only a few of the dogs in the litter.
This is a common practice among good breeders who want to
get to know their puppies and then match the puppies with
appropriate families. You should never feel like you're having
a puppy "forced" upon you without reason, but the
breeder should be able to explain why a certain pup would
be the best match for your family.
Although not ready to leave their litter until about 8 weeks,
a puppy's personality begins to develop at 5-6 weeks. The
time your breeder spends with the puppies helps the breeder become
much more familiar with their character and personalities
than you could ever be in the hour or two you'll spend spend with the puppies.
Don't be scared off by a litter that seems "picked over"
with only one or two 12 or 14 week puppies left. Many times
the very first dogs to be released to homes are the dogs who
are obviously show dogs and those who are obviously not show
dogs. The remaining puppies might be marked as "borderline"
show perspectives (so the breeder can watch how their structure
develops) and kept with the mother as they develop a little
more. The advantage of finding yourself taking home one of
these Airedale puppies is that, being borderline show-worthy,
they will have excellent conformation and will have had an
extra few weeks with their mother, learning pack hierarchy
(so they can recognize YOU as alpha) and learning skills like
house-training from their mother.
If the breeder gives you the opportunity to choose,
resist grabbing up the first pup that rushes up to you --
it displays boldness, but it might be the litter "bully"
and prone to dominance or aggression. Neither should you feel
drawn to the quiet puppy in the back. A puppy who shys away
from new people and new things may, without specific training,
develop into a shy fear-biting adult dog.
Instead, you should evaluate your expectations for
an Airedale puppy and choose accordingly: are there
young children or elderly in your home? A quieter puppy who
loves to cuddle might be the right pup for you. If you are
looking for a jogging partner with whom to do obedience work,
the airedale puppy who trots along at your heel and responds
well to gentle correction may be the right pup. If you're
looking for an agility or flyball dog the puppy who dives
after a tossed ball or toy could be the perfect dog.
Remember to choose your Airedale breeder carefully and acknowledge
that they know their puppies' strengths and weaknesses much
better than you. If in doubt, trust their opinion and know
that if you chose your breeder well, you'll enjoy any puppy
that ends up in your home.

Woot for Loot!
That's right, time to review April's Loot Crate package. This month's theme was dragons and I can't think of a better crate I've gotten to date. Sure there isn't a t-shirt in this one for me to show off to friends, but this crate is full of table top gamer goodies; dice, a snack, and some bling. I mean I don't think any of this stuff isn't going to get used by me. Even the figures are so cool i want to start doing a webcomic with them like the old Fuzzy Knights. I just need a few more to round out the party.
So check out all the cool gear in the slide show. If you are looking to become a looter yourself just head over to lootcrate.com.

This coming Monday we celebrate Presidents Day, a day to honor all America's presidents. Since our current President calls Chicago home, we have even more reason to celebrate in this great city of Chicago.
Take a trip around the city to some of the spots President Obama loved about Chicago. From his home in Hyde Park to where he held his Election Night event in Grant Park, the city is full of places the President went regularly. You can see the University of Chicago Law School, where he taught for years, or the Hyde Park Hair Salon & Barber Shop, where he got his hair cut.
To celebrate other Presidents from the state, Illinois residents can also enjoy free admission to the Chicago History Museum on Presidents Day. The museum has two exhibits on one of the most famous past presidents titled Lincoln's Chicago and Abraham Lincoln.
The museum also has special events planned for the holiday. Kids can "meet" Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln at the event and receive Patriotic Face painting. The event will also include storytelling of President Obama's book "Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters" and kids crafts.
This free event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday.

I have a MySQL database that holds a large amount of data (100-200GB - a bunch of scientific measurements). The vast majority of the data is stored in one table
Sample. Now I'm creating a slave replica of the database and I wanted to take the advantages of
innodb_file_per_table during the process. So I set

You are a very important person. Everyone that knows you is interested in most everything you say. But if you called the White House, the Pentagon, or the NSA and asked to speak to the person in charge, would they say, "Sure [Your Name], I'll put you right through"? Not likely.
In fact, if you talk to ANYONE other than a receptionist or automated system, then you MAY be as important to the NSA as you think you are, but truth is they don't know you from an unmarked can of paint. Having said that, your meaningless, idle chatter and gossip that they may or may not have collected on you is of no value to anyone but you, unless you are a terrorist or would-be terrorist.
So yes, you are an important person. In the overall scheme of things, however, you are no more than another number in this population of over 300 million.
It is the opinion of several security experts that, when more people realize that it's not about you, as an individual, but all about the security of this great nation we call home, then fewer restrictions will have to be considered and better security measures can be implemented.
Then you can safely shop at Target again without losing your financial or Constitutional freedoms and, more importantly, your life. Hackers and terrorists are counting on you to continue making it easier for them so it's vital to let those whose job it is to protect every important butt, including yours, do their jobs effectively.
For the most part, those who are the most outspoken about the government's "spying", will be the first to point a finger at the government if anything tragic happens, not realizing that they are partly to blame.

Recap | Box Score | Quotes | Photo Gallery
Player of the GameJaMychal Green scored a game-high 17 points including the game-winning tip-in with less than a second left on the shot clock to give the Crimson Tide's its 51-49 victory over Auburn. Green spent a season-high 37 minutes on the floor and was 4-of-11 from the field but connected on arguably the biggest shot of the evening. He earned nine of his points at the free-throw line and was attempted a career-high 14 free throws. He also added four blocks and two steals with three offensive rebounds.
Play of the GameWith the scored tied at 49-49 and 7.6 seconds left Alabama called a timeout to set up the final play of the game. Coming out of the timeout, Tony Mitchell drove into the lane and put up an off-balance runner that bounced off the back iron. However a trailing JaMychal Green was able to get the carom off the glass and tip the ball into the goal with 0.3 seconds left to give the Tide the two-point victory.
"I thought the last play was a great move by Tony to drive the basketball," UA head coach Anthony Grant said of the final possession. "Obviously, we've been in those situations this year so it was good to see him be aggressive and get it on the glass for us. Thankfully JaMychal was there to clean it up."
Turning Point of the GameAuburn's Earnest Ross hit a three-pointer with 11:53 left to play to give AU a 12-point, 41-29 lead. However, the Tide's defense shut down Auburn's defense for the final 12 minutes allowing just two field goals to close the game on a 22-8 run. During that nearly 12-minute span, AU went 2-of-8 from the field and had eight of its 23 turnovers.
Stat of the GameAlabama attempted a season-high 40 free throws and converted on a season-high 27. Free throws accounted for 52.9 percent of Alabama's scoring and UA's free throw production rate, an indication of a team's ability to get to the free-throw line, came in at a season-high 64.3. UA's 40 attempts were the most in an SEC game this season.
Top LineupThe five-man unit of JaMychal Green, Tony Mitchell, Trevor Releford, Charvez Davis and Andrew Steele was the Tide's most productive lineup in the win, outscoring the Tigers, 13-4, in the 5:52 they were on the court together.
Alabama used 15 different lineups with nine of them outscoring the Tigers. Freshman Charles Hankerson, Jr. was the only player who took to the floor and was not outscored by AU at any point.
Additional Game Notes• The game was played in front of a sold-out crowd of 15,383. The sellout was Alabama's third straight and the fourth of the season.• The win improved Alabama to 15-0 at home this season and 16-0 dating back to last season. • Alabama shot 26.2 percent, its lowest percentage in a win since shooting 25.8 percent (16-of-62) in a 57-54 win over Mississippi on Feb. 12, 1997. • Alabama matched the 1986-87 team for the best SEC record through 13 games at 11-2.• The win was UA's 14th in its last 16 games and improved the Tide to 8-1 against the Western Division.• Alabama led for just 1:18, its shortest amount of time in the lead in a win this season.• Alabama is also undefeated on Wednesdays this year.• Alabama converted on a season-low 11 field goals.• The Tide forced its second 10-second violation of the season.• The shot clock violation forced with 5:34 left to play was 10th shot clock violation by an opponent this season.• Andrew Steele matched a career high with seven rebounds.• After committing just 19 combined turnovers in its last two games, UA committed 19 turnovers against Auburn, tying for its most in an SEC game this season.• Auburn tied Alabama with 16 points in the paint to become just the second opponent along with Saint Peter's that has not been outscored by UA in the paint.• Auburn's 15-point lead was the biggest deficit UA has faced in an SEC game this season and third biggest it has faced this season.• Alabama held Auburn without a field goal for an 8:58 span in the second half to go on a 15-5 run.• Auburn is the sixth opponent this season that UA has held to 50 or fewer points. UA is 6-0 in those games.

President Barack Obama again took part in celebrating the Jewish holiday of Passover or Pesach in Hebrew with his annual tradition of hosting a seder in the White House. This year President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama hosted the second seder of the holiday on Tuesday evening April 15, 2014 in the White House's Old Family Dining Room. President Obama also issued a statement in honor of the holiday released on Monday, April, 14, and included Passover greetings in his holiday themed weekly address released on Saturday morning, April 17, 2014. But the holiday celebration this year was marred by an anti-Semitic act of violence that occurred on Sunday, April 13 in at Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City in Overland Park, Kansas, where three people were killed by a white supremacist. The hate crime overshadowed President Obama's message joyful messages for the holiday with sadness.
The president first released his statement for Passover or the eve, erev of the holiday, and the night of the first seder on Monday morning, April 14, 2014. President Obama sent his wishes and also mentioned the seder he was going to host at the White House, writing; "Michelle and I send our warmest greetings to all those celebrating Passover in the United States, in Israel, and around the world. On Tuesday, just as we have every year of my presidency, my family will join the millions taking part in the ancient tradition of the Seder. We will enjoy the company of friends and loved ones, retell a timeless story, and give thanks for the freedom we are so blessed to enjoy."
The rest of his message was overshadowed by the tragedy that occurred so close to the holiday. President Obama again condemned the anti-Semitism of the Overland, Kansas shooting, he issued a first brief statement condemning the violence shortly after the news broke on Sunday, April 13, 2014. In his Passover message Obama wrote that; "Yet even as we celebrate, our prayers will be with the people of Overland Park, Kansas and the family and friends of the three innocent people who were killed when a gunman, just one day before Passover, opened fire at a Jewish community center and retirement home on Sunday."
The president also condemned the violence and anti-Semitism at "White House Easter prayer breakfast" held on also on Monday, April 14, where Obama stated; "We're all children of God, we're all made his image, all worthy of his love and dignity, and we see what happens around the world when this kind of religious-based or -tinged violence can rear its ugly head. It's got no place in our society." Obama also expressed; "That this occurred now, as Jews were preparing to celebrate Passover, as Christians were observing Palm Sunday, makes this tragedy all the more painful."
President Obama made a point of again condemning the violence in his Passover statement and reminding all Americans that this anti-Semitism and racism should not be happening in the United States, stating; "As Americans, we will continue to stand united against this kind of terrible violence, which has no place in our society." Continuing Obama expressed that kind of virulent hate will be "combated" in the country; "We will continue to come together across faiths to combat the ignorance and intolerance, including anti-Semitism, that can lead to hatred and violence. And we will never lose faith that compassion and justice will ultimately triumph over hate and fear."
The president harkened back to the biblical Passover story from the book of Exodus, Shemot, recounting; "For that is one of the great lessons of the Exodus. The tale of the Hebrew slaves and their flight from Egypt carries the hope and promise that the Jewish people have held in their hearts for thousands of years, and it is has inspired countless generations in their own struggles for freedom around the globe."
President Obama linked the story the Jewish freedom from Egypt to the immigrant experience, the African-American experience and the American dream and promise of life, liberty and pursuit of freedom, American fundamental rights and freedom. Obama explained; "In America, the Passover story has always had special meaning. We come from different places and diverse backgrounds, but we are bound together by a journey from bondage to liberty enshrined in our founding documents and continued in each generation." The president acknowledged the problems and hatred that still is present even in America, and that the Jewish Passover story is model that American should look to; "As we were so painfully reminded on Sunday, our world is still in need of repair, but the story of the Exodus teaches us that with patience, determination, and abundant faith, a brighter future is possible." President Obama ended his message using the Hebrew holiday greeting; "Chag Sameach."
Tuesday evening, April 15 President Obama hosted his sixth Passover seder. The tradition, a new one for the White House was introduced during the 2008 presidential campaign at the time when President Obama going through the tough Pennsylvania Democratic primary campaign in a dead heat for the Democratic nomination against fellow Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. The first seder was held in a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania hotel basement with then candidate and Senator Obama and his campaign staff. It was a low point in the campaign, Clinton won the Ohio primary and the Jeremiah Wright video both were coming between Obama and his dreams of the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Campaign and former White House videographer Arun Chaudhary said; "We were in the desert, so to speak." The first seder was conducted by Jewish campaign staffer Eric Lesser. Lesser went on to served as an assistant to "White House senior adviser David Axelrod," and is now running for the Massachusetts State Senate.
The New York Times in an article published in 2010 entitled "Next Year in the White House: A Seder Tradition" told the story of how Obama happened on the seder; "One evening in April 2008, three low-level staff members from the Obama presidential campaign - a baggage handler, a videographer and an advance man - gathered in the windowless basement of a Pennsylvania hotel for an improvised Passover Seder." The three junior staffers were "Eric Lesser, Herbie Ziskend, and Arun Chaudhary." The New York Times account continued; "Suddenly they heard a familiar voice. "Hey, is this the Seder?" Barack Obama asked, entering the room," that was how a new presidential tradition was born.
At the end of the first impromptu seder that went through the whole Haggadah the conclusion blessing was altered by Obama from "next year in Jerusalem" to "next year at the White House." Lesser recounted to the Huffington Post in an interview; "And at the end everybody raises their glasses and there is a tradition when you say: Next year in Jerusalem. So we all raised our glasses and said 'Next year in Jerusalem' and then we all put our glasses down and then Obama raised his glass and said: 'Next year in the White House.' And we all said yes, and raised our glasses. It was a very poignant moments because it was really one of the lowest points within the 2008 campaign." The tradition continued in the White House in 2009, President Obama's first year in office with the president following through on his promise. Lesser recounted "fast forward a year later and we're at the White House, and it's time for what became the first Seder celebrated by a president in the White House in American history."
Each year the seder includes the same former campaign staffers that were with Obama for that first campaign seder, however, once at the White House Obama added his family and some friends and the significant others of the staffers. The Washington Post reported the guest list for this year's seder consisted of "White House senior adviser to the president Valerie Jarrett; Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago Director David Axelrod; former White House staffer Eric Lesser and Alison Silber; former Obama personal aide Reginald L. Love; former White House staffer Lisa Kohnke; State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki; former White House videographer Arun Chaudhary and Laura Moser; Obama friends Cookie Offerman and Kelly Schaefer; senior adviser to the first lady Melissa Winter; chief of staff of the Huffington Post Herbie Ziskend; former first lady chief of staff Susan Sher and Judge Neil Cohen; deputy national security adviser for strategic communications Ben Rhodes and Ann Norris; Obama friend Eric Whitaker and Joan Maas; and Matt Nosanchuk."
The White House wanted to mix up this year's menu and include not only traditional Passover favorites, but also more interesting variations. Vered Guttman who catered this year's seder recounted in her article "When I cooked the seder for the Obamas" in Israeli paper Haaertz what it was like to prepare the seder at the White House for the first family. The White House hired Guttman, and Susan Barocas, the "former director of the Jewish Food Experience" to cater the event, creating the menu. Guttman recounted it was First Lady Michelle that wanted to include "more healthy and fresh" dishes to the menu, to fit more the message of her Let's Move! initiative. All the dishes were prepared in the White House Kitchen by the "White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford" and "Pastry chef Bill Yosses."
According the Chicago Sun-Times this year's menu consisted of an entrée that included; "Gefilte Fish, Haroset, Chicken Soup with Matzoh Balls," and a specialty "Salad of quinoa cooked in coconut milk with Tuscan kale and roasted yams." There were side dishes of "Wilted Spinach, Carrot Soufflé, Passover Noodle Kugel, Roasted potatoes with garlic and onion, and Roasted sweet potatoes." The main course included; "Seared Salmon with Roasted Artichokes, Chicken with preserved lemons and green olives," and perennial Passover favorite of "Braised Beef Brisket." Three deserts were made; "Raspberry Ganache Marjolaine, Passover Brownies, Passover Mandel Bread."
The table set-up in the Old Family Dining Room was just as inviting as the menu; Guttman described the table setting with the Clinton China, spring flowers, and a main seder plate, last year Sara Netanyahu's seder plate that was a gift to the Obamas, during his March 2013 trip to Israel. While each guest was given their own personal seder plate, and a copy of the Maxwell House Haggadah, the choice of haggadah for the traditional American seder. Apparently according to the Washington Post, the seder itself was "abbreviated." Guttman recounted what the White House Seder sounded like behind the scenes in her Haaretz article; "It was nice to listen to the guests reading the blessings together, singing Dayenu and the Eliyahu Hanavi. But the most touching moment for me was to hear them all recite 'In every generation it is one's duty to regard himself as though he personally had gone out of Egypt.' And the tale of the exudes was told even in the White House on Tuesday night."
The White House seder is different than most seders as Ziskend told the Huffington Post, because the exodus story is the not the only one retold, but the first campaign seder; "the President always starts by remembering the story of the first one in '08, and talking about how important it was to him at the time, and to the team, and how it has become something that he really loves doing every year." Continuing Ziskend explains; Obama "brings the First Lady and his daughters, and his daughters are the youngest ones at the table, so the story of Passover is always told to the youngest people there and so it's directed towards them." President Obama explained during his trip to Israel in March 2013 that he holds the seder at the White House each year "because I wanted my daughters to experience the Haggadah, and the story at the center of Passover that makes this time of year so powerful."
Another story of freedom is also included at the White House seder, the emancipation of the American slaves. Ziskend revealed to the Huffington Post that for "the last few years, have been reading the Emancipation Proclamation and everyone goes around and reads a different verse form the Emancipation Proclamation- and so the story is related to more current times." Ziskend explained the reason why the story of the emancipation of African-American slaves is recounted at the White House seder, that the "strong connection between the African-American community and the Jewish community, and in terms of the story of the Exodus, and the fight to become free and live in dignity, and during the Civil Rights movement,
African-Americans and Jews were working together."
President Obama recounted that same story about the connection in history between African-Americans and Jews and the Exodus story during his March 2013 trip to Israel, where he told a group Israeli youth in a major address, why he has a personal affinity for Passover; "It's a story of centuries of slavery, and years of wandering in the desert; a story of perseverance amidst persecution, and faith in God and the Torah. It's a story about finding freedom in your own land. It's a story that's inspired communities across the globe, including me and my fellow Americans." Continuing Obama expressed; "To African Americans, the story of the Exodus was perhaps the central story, the most powerful image about emerging from the grip of bondage to reach for liberty and human dignity - a tale that was carried from slavery through the Civil Rights Movement into today. For me, personally, growing up in far-flung parts of the world and without firm roots, the story spoke to a yearning within every human being for a home."
President Obama concluded his Passover celebrating and wishes with his weekly address released Saturday morning, April 19 entitled "President Obama Offers Easter and Passover Greetings." The president sent wishes to both religions celebrating holidays over the weekend. Obama talked about personally celebrating Passover at the White House seeder; "Earlier this week, we hosted a Passover Seder at the White House, and joined Jewish families around the world in their retellings of the story of the Exodus and the victory of faith over oppression."
To conclude President Obama harkened back to his Passover message earlier in the week remembering the anti-Semitic tragedy in Overland Park, Kansas with common message of peace and cooperation between all religions. Obama hopefully expressed that; "The common thread of humanity that connects us all - not just Christians and Jews, but Muslims and Hindus and Sikhs - is our shared commitment to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. To remember, I am my brother's keeper. I am my sister's keeper. Whatever your faith, believer or nonbeliever, there's no better time to rededicate ourselves to that universal mission."

Lying is like 95% of what I do. But believe me: in this book, I'll let you know exactly how to become a master spy just like me. Obviously, you won't be as good at it as I am, but that's because you're you, and I'm Sterling Archer. I know, I know, it sucks not being me. But don't beat yourself up about it, because I'm going to show you all the good stuff-what to wear; what to drink; how to seduce women (and, when necessary, men); how to beat up men (and, when necessary, women); how to tell the difference between call girls and hookers (hint: when they're dead, they're just hookers) and everything about weapons, secret devices, lying ex-girlfriends, and turtlenecks. In a word? How to Archer.

Rated 2 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 2 out of 5 by jscdsc GREAT VALUE Being from the South, I prefer a tangy type cabbage salad. This was too sweet with more cinnamon flavor than expected. I added small amount of balsamic vinegar for my personal taste. Good Quality product. Was my 1st purchase. February 3, 2014

On April 24th at The Pageant, Moses Sumney quietly took the stage. No band members followed, his only set pieces being an electric guitar and three microphones.
"I just want everyone to do this with me," he said as he reached his hands up and brought them down, a hiss of air escaping his lips like he was about to lead us in a yoga session. "I'm Moses Sumney, clearly not Local Natives," he laughed before stepping towards the microphone on his left.
From the first note he sang, periodically building the sound with harmonies no human voice should have been able to muster, this was clearly no ordinary opening act. The songs without the loop machine were quiet and lamenting, the kind you wanted to listen to on a rainy day, with his falsetto lulling you to sleep. And right about the time you wanted to lean on the person standing behind you, he put his guitar down and performed a fast paced song entirely with his voice.
"I didn't write this song, it's by a band called Majical Cloudz and they're awesome," he humbly said and launched into their song "Childhood's End." He started with the rhythm and built the song upwards, his voice moving so fast at times that the accuracy was impeccable. There would be moments where the accompaniment would cut out altogether to emphasize a line he would sing, and with a push of a button it would accurately come back in underneath him, a swarming, growing sound, that somehow changed with the song even though technically it stayed exactly the same.
It was his first tour. He had never even been to St. Louis, being a Los Angeles native. His only merchandise was a 7" vinyl featuring two songs, and a cassette tape for his new EP "Mid City Island," which he played during his set.
There are rare moments when you go to a show and the opener surprises you. You somehow forget whom you really came for and you find yourself getting lost in the music you used to wish would just get over with. It was clear Moses Sumney was one of these rare cases. Watch out for that name because this first tour will most definitely not be his last.
