West Palm Beach Fly Away Winner!
Being a Dave Matthews Band fan has defined me for nearly two decades now. I've seen more than 50 shows dating back to 1999 and each one is something special. There's nothing like seeing DMB live, that energy and anticipation that's more than just a concert - Dave gives you an experience.
Being a member of the Warehouse connects me to other fans around the world who understand how special this band is. It gets me closer to DMB, keeps me updated on what's to come-- and helps make sure I have a seat at every show!
I can't even begin to describe what it means to win. I never thought in my wildest dreams I'd be lucky enough to get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I cried when I got the news that I won and would be meeting Dave. I'm still in a state of shock and awe -- and will be until show time! JulieB

|Scouting, as a worldwide brotherhood, is unique and different. It is based on the principles of duty to God and country, human dignity and the rights of individuals, and the obligation of all members to develop and use their potential. It is a movement that brings out the best in people. It is one of the few programs in the world today where the emphasis is not on winning as an end result, but on the far more demanding and rewarding task of "doing one's best" and "being prepared."
|What happens to a scout? For every 100 boys who join, records show: 4 will become Eagle Scouts; 12 will have their first contact with a church; 5 will earn their church award; 1 will enter the ministry; 18 will develop a lifelong hobby; 8 will enter a vocation introduced to him through merit badge study; 1 will use skills acquired to save his own life; and 1 will use those skills to save the life of another.
Did you know that scouting was a part of the lives of 72% of Rhodes Scholars, 70% of Naval Academy graduates, 64% of Air Force Academy graduates and 68% of West Point graduates? 85% of FBI agents? That 26 of the first 29 astronauts were scouts? Where can scouting take you?
|Troop 632 is proud to offer this program that is producing the leaders of tomorrow. Come and check it out for yourself. We meet at the Scout Hut, a part of the many facilities on the campus of our chartering organization, Pine Forest United Methodist Church. The church is located at 2800 Wilde Lake Boulevard, just west of Pine Forest Road and I-10 in Pensacola, Florida.
Find us now on
|Troop 632 has been in operation since its founding by the Methodist Men's Club on August 1, 1958. It is among Pensacola's oldest with consecutive service. Since 1973, this program has produced 32 Eagle Scouts, the highest rank in Scouting. The troop itself has received numerous honors over the years, including the BSA National Camping Award and the Hornaday Award. 632 annually distinguishes itself as a Quality Unit. Our adult leadership is BSA trained and represents decades of combined scouting experience. The troop strictly adheres to all BSA policies.
|The troop meets on
Tuesdays throughout the year from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. While these meetings seek to
address the advancement needs of members, they act principally as the "drawing
board" for what is at the heart of the Scouting promise: a boy-run, adult-supported
outdoor program. What happens in the outdoors? Simply put, the development of scouting
character as well as leadership and teamwork. Scouting strives to instill important
values: showing trustworthiness, loyalty, and faithfulness to fellow scouts, our families
and our community; courtesy and kindness in all our dealings with others; obedience and
cheerfulness in carrying out our daily tasks; thrift in dealing with the things entrusted
to us; the courage to do what is right; cleanliness, both physical and moral; and
reverence in personal and corporate worship.
Thus, the troop maintains an active calendar. We have backpacked the Pinhote Trail, snorkeled with manatees and canoed the swamps of the Mobile-Tensaw basin. We've bunked on the battleship USS Alabama and worshipped at the United States Air Force Academy Chapel. Our troop has strolled the merit badge midway at the National Scout Jamboree at Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia and explored civil war battlefields from Chancellorsville to Chickamauga. Philmont Scout Ranch (New Mexico), the Appalachian Trail, and the National Scouting Museum (Murray, Kentucky).... We have truly camped everywhere and traveled by plane, train and automobile!
|The troop also
stresses service to others. Whether painting a house for a shut-in or planting sea
grass in Pensacola Bay, Troop 632 is always prepared to put the scout oath and law into
Learn more about scouting at TheScoutZone.org. Scouting makes great parents, too! Visit ScoutParents.org for more information.
|Selected members of the Troop are associated with the Woapalanne Chapter of Yustaga Lodge #385, Order of the Arrow. The Order of the Arrow seeks to recognize those Scout campers who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Scout Law in their daily lives, to develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit, to promote scout camping, and to crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. The OA has more than 160,000 members located in lodges affiliated with 409 local BSA councils.
Pack, which meets at Pine Forest UMC on Tuesdays during the school year, has been in
operation since 1992. Beginning with the Tiger Cub program at age six, boys learn in
a fun environment as their dens advance from Bobcat to Wolf to Bear, and finally to
Webelos rank. Dens meet at 6:30 p.m. in the church fellowship hall.

Kiss, the rock and roll to-be-inducted music group, will not be performing when the band is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April, according to a Yahoo! News report on Sunday.
Kiss, a band which has been around for 40 years, has an internal problem regarding any performance at the otherwise-festive occasion for the band. As many bands have had in the past, Kiss has had a change in band personnel through the years and it has become a battle as to which band lineup should perform – the original players or the current players. Therefore, the band says that none of them will be playing on April 10 at the ceremony in New York City.
The concern is whether the original members – Ace Frehley and Peter Criss - should join Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, or whether the current members – Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer – should play at the ceremony.
Kiss' web site called it "an emotional situation where there is no way to please everyone." Therefore, the band will not perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony.
A possible solution is for all six band members to take the stage - and just "Rock On!"

Exemption to Mandatory Education Requirement
The Notary Public Law, as amended by Act 151 of 2002 (effective July 1, 2003), requires that applicants for both initial appointment and reappointment as a notary public complete at least three hours of approved notary education within the six months immediately preceding their application for appointment or reappointment. However, based on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling in Tritt v. Cortés, any applicant for reappointment who was appointed on or before July 1, 2003 and whose notary commission was in effect on July 1, 2003, is permanently exempted or "grandfathered" from the notary education requirement. In other words, all notaries public who held active commissions on July 1, 2003 are not required to complete approved notary education upon their reappointment.
Excluded from the "grandfather clause" ruling are those notaries public who failed to meet the Act's requirements for a valid commission as of July 1, 2003, or who had lapses in their commission prior to July 1, 2003, including the following:

Editor's Note: This post was authored by David Winder, chief executive of WaterAid USA. David talks about WaterAid's work with local NGOs in Mozambique to make water and sanitation services affordable to poor, urban populations through innovative financing models. A version of this story originally appeared here.
Having just returned to New York from Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, I'm reminded how lucky we are in this city to have reliable water and sanitation services. Thanks to investment in water pipes and sewers in the 19th century, diarrheal diseases that ran rife through our city a few generations ago have all but been eliminated, and we take it for granted that safe drinking water is available at the turn of a tap.
As in many other large cities across the developing world, Maputo is facing rapid growth of low income settlements and major challenges in providing the population with access to safe water and sanitation. The latest data (UNICEF/WHO 2012) show that only 77 percent of Mozambique's urban population has access to improved water sources. The situation is even grimmer when it comes to sanitation, with only 38 percent of the urban population having access to safe sanitation.
The country has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world with 86,000 children dying before their first birthdays every year. Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of child deaths and 44 percent of children under five are undernourished.
Increased investment in providing access to safe water and improved sanitation dramatically impacts child survival. In low-income areas of cities like Maputo, that is often a complex task. High population density, transient populations, and poor quality housing are part of the problem and present challenges to those striving to improve water and sanitation infrastructure.
Often in low-income urban neighborhoods the provision of piped water to homes is simply too expensive for ordinary families to afford. One way of tackling that problem is by helping local residents band together and negotiate affordable payment plans with water service providers with the help of local NGOs.
Last week I visited the community of Costa do Sol on the northern periphery of Maputo and found that a community water users' association, ACODECOS, established with the help of WaterAid and local partner organization ESTAMOS had achieved great success in expanding the number of household water connections over a five year period, with very positive results for the health of the community, particularly children. Data given to us by the Ministry of Health showed that the number of cholera cases had dropped from 371 in 2003/4 to only 21 in 2008/9.
One reason why this was achieved was ACODECOS' successful negotiation of a reduction in the household connection fee to $50 (from Aguas de Mozambique, a private company receiving 75 percent of its investment from government) that can be paid in installments.
Local resident Francesca Nhantos (shown in the photo at the top) told me that having piped water available in the home had transformed her life. "Before we had the standpipe, a water truck came to the village once a week and we had to pay 5-7 meticais (20 cents) for 20 liters of water and we weren't sure how clean it was so we had to boil it."
As Arminda told me, other changes, such as the installation of latrines, hygiene education, the provision of drinking water and toilets in schools and the disposal of solid waste, have also helped to dramatically improve the health of the community.
With the absence of piped sewerage in densely populated low-income urban communities, disposal of fecal sludge from latrines also poses a major challenge. Last week, I visited a pilot project managed by Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP), an organization working closely with WaterAid. This project shows how offering loans to small businesses can help with the development of affordable waste management services.
Paulo Biane Vaiene from the Maputo community of Maxaquene is one such entrepreneur benefiting from financial assistance. His small enterprise UGSM Vaiene started emptying small septic tanks using a small pump and tank called a "gulper" that was pulled by a donkey. With a loan from WSUP, he was able to buy a truck that has allowed him to cover more clients and expand his radius of operations. Business is thriving, more households can now take advantage of his services, which cost around $20 and are required twice a year, and public health is safeguarded by the safe disposal of the waste.
Just as Paulino has demonstrated that fecal sludge removal can be a profitable business, there are opportunities to develop small businesses selling a selection of toilet designs to families. A range of viable technologies has been developed, but business models need to be developed with finance plans to ensure that options are affordable to all families regardless of income. We found that all needed construction skills exist in the communities, so the focus needs to be on ensuring these skilled laborers are able to find employment that not only helps their families out of poverty but also helps communities stay healthy and meet their basic needs.
These experiences show how innovative financing models can impact on health in low-income urban communities. When water connection charges are not only reduced but split into installments, poor families can afford to get linked to the municipal piped water system, and the support of small private service providers ensures families have access to effective and affordable fecal sludge removal services until the sewage network can be expanded.
These examples also show the importance of linking larger systems — such as pipes for the water utility or waste management and sewage systems — with community and household-based needs and approaches. Reducing poverty and protecting people's health and well-being requires a combination of efforts, from local capacity building and small business development to larger-scale infrastructure development. I was inspired by the efforts being made by NGOs and community-based organizations to build healthy communities. The skills, the demand, and the creativity are there. We have so many opportunities now to make the most of them.
Editor's Note: This guest post was authored by Alexandra Fielden, policy coordinator for Dispensers for Safe Water at Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA). In it, she discusses the benefits of IPA's Chlorine Dispenser System, an innovative water treatment solution, and how the system has been implemented in villages in western Kenya. (Names have been changed to protect the identity of the individuals involved.)
Following the death of her daughter, Adimu was left to take care of her HIV-positive granddaughter, Tabia.
HIV has severely weakened Tabia's immune system, making her especially vulnerable to waterborne diseases. "She would always need to go to the hospital," says Adimu, "due to her weak immunity, she suffered from diarrhea regularly." Visits to the local clinic to treat Tabia's diarrhea were costly, uncomfortable, and time-consuming.
But since IPA's Chlorine Dispenser System was set up in her community in Khasolo, western Kenya, Tabia has experienced far fewer cases of diarrhea and she is doing extremely well in school. "Chlorine has improved my granddaughter's health since she no longer suffers from diarrhea," says Adimu, with a smile.
In poor rural areas where constructing piped water systems are prohibitively expensive, the government and donor response has generally been to fund new water sources such as wells or boreholes.
However, this approach fails to ensure the safety of water during transportation and storage at the home. Because of unhygienic water collection behaviors and unsafe storage practices, re-contamination presents a major challenge in many settings. A study in western Kenya showed that spring protection led to a 66 percent reduction in fecal contamination at the water source, but the reductions were only 24 percent in water stored in people's homes.
One inexpensive, safe, and effective option to improve water quality while protecting against re-contamination is to treat water with chlorine using IPA's innovative Chlorine Dispenser System.
Installed at a communal water source, users simply turn a valve on the dispenser to release a metered dose of chlorine into their jerricans, which they then fill with water as usual. The chlorine mixes with the water and kills the germs that cause many diarrheal diseases. The chlorine provides protection from recontamination for up to 48 hours, and achieves an average diarrhea reduction of 41 percent.
Five-and-a-half miles northeast of Adimu and Tabia's village lies Laban Springs, another community with access to the Chlorine Dispenser System. Here, Caroline explains that "the dispenser is easy to use, and being next to the water source reminds you to use it." To encourage adoption, IPA partners with community volunteers, like Caroline, who serve as "dispenser promoters." They work to educate the community about the dangers of contaminated water, to encourage use of the technology, and to ensure that a consistent supply of chlorine is available.
Results from a randomized trial in western Kenya documented that the CDS increases chlorine use six-fold compared to the existing approach of selling small bottles of chlorine through retail outlets. In target communities, preliminary studies showed that 50-61 percent of households had sustained detectable chlorine levels in household drinking water during unannounced visits over 3 years after CDS implementation, compared to 6-14 percent with access to the standard retail model.
A majority of the funding for CDS programs to date has been provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In addition, some early funding commitments were made by local governments in Kenya, the Kenyan Ministry of Education, and a Kenyan water services board for CDS pilot projects. The World Bank, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation, as well as private foundations and individuals, have also contributed to start-up costs of the program.
Over the last several years, Dispensers for Safe Water (DSW) has been working in close collaboration with national ministries and local governments, as well as non-governmental organizations, to implement its programs in Kenya. Together, DSW and its partners have installed enough dispensers to provide access to safe water for more than 400,000 people across western Kenya.
DSW conducts regular spot checks to monitor the condition of the dispenser and its source, and to test that the dispenser is stocked with chlorine at the correct concentration and quality. In addition, the selection of responsible dispenser promoters and set-up of a local "hotline" for communities to report issues ensure that problems with the dispenser hardware are rapidly identified and remedied.
In 2012, DSW will continue to work with its partners to expand dispenser coverage; to pilot dispensers in other high-priority regions of Kenya; and to explore new areas where dispensers could lead to a significant reduction in diarrheal disease rates.
DSW also works in Haiti, Somalia, India, Bangladesh, Swaziland, and Uganda, and continues to explore the possibilities for piloting and scaling up dispensers in a number of target countries in sub-Saharan Africa. DSW aims to provide access to safe water for millions of people like Adimu, Tabia, and Caroline through the innovative Chlorine Dispenser System, a Proven Impact Initiative at IPA. To find out more, contact Dispensers for Safe Water: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lack of access to clean water, inadequate sanitation, and poor hygiene are inextricably linked to the prevalence of gastrointestinal infections. Diarrhea, a common symptom of these infections, kills around 2.2 million people globally each year, mostly children in developing countries. Given this stark reality, diarrheal disease death rates are a critically important contextual indicator for those working in the WASH sector.
To help site users better account for this context in their work, WASHfunders has added the World Health Organization's data on diarrheal disease death rates as a new overlay to its funding map. Simply go to the "indicators" tab and click on "diarrheal disease" to view incidence rates for any given country.

Valentine's Day is upon us, and that means radio stations across Jackson and around the nation will be playing seasonally appropriate romantic songs. When it comes to love songs and heartbreak songs, no genre can do it as well as country. Here's a list of what Jackson Presbyterian Examiner regards as the ultimate best in country music
1. You Just Get Better All the Time- Tim McGraw
Although this is one of Tim McGraw's lesser-known songs, it is arguably his best love song. The song, unlike so many popular love songs on the radio, goes beyond shallow infatuation to celebrate a settled, quiet love between a man and woman.
The final line says:
"You just get better all the time
Why, just today I heard you read my mind
That kind of magic is so hard to find
You just get better all the time"
2. Cross My Heart- George Strait
Taken from George Strait's 1992 film, Pure Country, this is definitely the country legend's best song. The final verse says:
"You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete
And as long as there's a breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future, it's as far as we can see
So let's make each tomorrow be the best that it can be"
It's little wonder that that "Cross My Heart" has become regarded as a wedding song. It sums up what a man should be feeling towards his wife on their wedding day.
3. Remember When- Alan Jackson
This song explores a lifetime of love shared between a man and a woman, with all the highs and the lows:
"Remember when the sound of little feet was the music we danced to week to week
It brought back the love, we found trust, vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when?
Remember when 30 seemed so old and now looking back, it's just a stepping stone
To where we are, where we've been, said we'd do it all again
Remember when?
Remember when we said when we turned gray, when the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad for all the life we've had
And we'll remember when"
So many songs celebrate youthful infatuation; it's refreshing to see a song that celebrates staying together through life, growing old together.
4. Whatever It Is- Zac Brown Band
This song explores how often a man can't put a finger on what it is about the woman he loves, but he recognizes it when he sees it. The chorus says:
"She got whatever it is; it blows me away
She's everything I want to say to a woman, but I never found the words to say
She got whatever it is; I don't know what to do
Every time I try to tell her how I feel, it comes out, 'I love you'"
The final line says:
"When she loves me—Girl, that's how I feel—when she loves me
I'm on top of the world
When she loves me, I can live forever
'Cause when she loves me, I am untouchable"
Every man who's been in love can relate. When the woman he loves returns his love, then he feels invincible.
Lyrically, this hit is one of the most poignant love songs in all of country music:
"For all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the powers of gold
With one honest touch, you set me free
Let the world stop turning, let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered has come true
In this life, I was loved by you"
Another song that rightly is labeled a wedding song.
6. I Still Believe In You Now- Desert Rose Band
This 80s country group, led by Chris Hillman (known in the 60s for role in The Byrds), is not super well-known today, but musically and vocally, they are vastly superior to practically every country music group today. Here's a sample of the lyrics:
"And that feeling that I get inside every time I see the sun in your eyes
The moon starts to crying, our hearts not denying a feeling we can hold through the night
Beautiful dreamer, make my life sweet
Dream a song in my heart
I'm running on empty,
I know you've been tempted to close the door from the start
I still believe in you now"
7. You and Forever and Me- Little Texas
The best love song of 90s country sensation, Little Texas, has a very memorable chorus:
"There's a cool wind on the desert tonight
I can almost see your golden hair flying in the moonlight
And, ooh, it was a restless kind of free
When it was you and forever and me"
This hit focuses on not taking any day with your loved one for granted. The opening line of this song says:
"Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me; it could be for anything
I didn't ask for money or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you"
The chorus says:
"One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you"
9. I Swear- John Michael Montgomery
Somewhat of a standard wedding song, the chorus epitomizes what couples to say to each other at the alter:
"I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side, I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I love you with every beat of my heart
I swear"
10. Something That We Do- Clint Black
Clint Black's classic is, lyrically, one of the best things country music ever produced:
"We're on a road that has no end
And each day we begin again
Love's not just something that we're in
It's something that we do
We help to make each other all that we can be
Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently
The way we work together is what sets our love apart
So closely that you can't tell where I end and where you start"
The last line says:
"I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
Love isn't just those words we said
It's something that we do
There's no request too big or small
We give ourselves, we give our all
Love isn't someplace that we fall
It's something that we do"
The beautiful thing about this song is that it, unlike so many popular love songs, emphasizes the fact that love is a choice; it's not merely a feeling. Couples don't live together happily ever after simply because they luckily manage to retain the same emotions they had on their wedding day. Whatever their changing emotions may be, they choose to love. As Stephen and Alex Kendrick's best-selling book, The Love Dare, (2008) explains, they don't just follow their heart; they lead their heart to do the right thing—to love each other even when it's easy to "feel" like giving up.
This Valentine's, Jackson Presbyterian Examiner encourages readers to give these tunes, some of them relatively new and some of them classics, a chance. Romantic love is a gift from God and there's no reason why romantic songs have to be associated with sexually explicit or questionable content. Some people, disillusioned with the popular music scene, retreat to Christian music, thinking that to listen to anything else must be dishonoring to God. As the above mentioned songs hopefully show, though, there are plenty of songs out there that, though may not be faith-based per se, beautifully and poignantly capture the wonder of romantic love between man and woman, which is God's gift.

Box Office: 'Saw 3D' cuts deep at No. 1 Friday with $10.7 million
Considering how badly last year's "Saw VI" performed at the box office, executives at Lionsgate must be breathing a sigh of relief over "Saw 3D's" $10.7 million debut on Friday. The previous installment opened to a shocking $14.1 million, far below the previous $30-33 million debuts of the "Saw II-V." At this rate however, "Saw 3D" should at least find $23-25 million over the holiday weekend. And yes, those higher 3D ticket prices won't hurt.
Dropping over 70% from last Friday's opening was "Paranormal Activity 2." The other horror flick in the marketplace grossed $5.8 million on Friday for a new eight-day total of $54.9 million. For the weekend, "PA2" should scare up between $16-18 million total, but it's hard to see this thriller matching the original's $107 million take from only a year ago.
Still chugging along in third was the Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren thriller "Red" with another $3.4 million and a new overall cume of $52.4 million.
The fourth slot was occupied by "Jackass 3D" which laughed up another $3.1 million and should -- no joke -- pass the $100 million mark by Sunday. The film's success clearly shows there was a void in the marketplace this month for a funny comedy aimed at younger audiences (unlike "Red" for example).
Rounding out the top five was Clint Eastwood's "Hereafter" which found $2.4 million on Friday and should end up with another $5-6 million for the three-day. The afterlife drama has grossed $17.4 million to date.
Look for final weekend estimates tomorrow on HitFix.

About the Ticket Supplier: New York Philharmonic
The New York Philharmonic is by far the oldest symphony orchestra in the United States, and one of the oldest in the world. Founded in 1842 by a group of local musicians led by American-born Ureli Corelli Hill, the Orchestra currently plays some 180 concerts a year. On December 18, 2004, the Philharmonic gave its 14,000th concert—a milestone unmatched by any other orchestra in the world.
Since 1917 the Philharmonic has recorded nearly 2,000 albums; more than 500 recordings are currently available. In February 2003, the Orchestra was honored by The Recording Academy with a Trustees Award in recognition of its outstanding contributions to the industry and American culture. Members of the Philharmonic also performed on the 45th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony, televised internationally from New York's Madison Square Garden — the first time that a major symphony orchestra had performed live on the Grammy Awards.

I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG Insurance Company.
Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a "We Deserve It Dividend".
To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion... that equals
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a "We Deserve It Dividend".
Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let's assume a tax rate of 30%. Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
- Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved
- Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads
- Put away money for college – it'll be there
- Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
- Buy a new car – create jobs
- Invest in the market – capital drives growth
- Pay for your parent's medical insurance – health care improves
- Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed
If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of
trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult
U S Citizen 18+!
As for AIG – liquidate it. Sell off its parts. Let American General go back to being American General. Sell off the real estate. Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
We deserve it and AIG doesn't.
Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work." But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party! How do you spell Economic Boom?

Return to Forever featuring Chick Corea: No Mystery
No Mystery
Return to Forever featuring Chick Corea
No Mystery (Polydor 827-149-2)
Chick Corea (keyboards), Al Di Meola (guitars), Stanley Clarke (bass, organ), Lenny White (drums).
Composed by Chick Corea.
Recorded: New York, January 1975
Rating: 99/100 (learn more)
The better fusion bands would always take a few moments or so on their records or in concert to show off their pure virtuosity. Electronics can cover a lot of bad notes. But in delicate or intricate acoustic music, a flubbed note could stick out like a liberal on Fox News. These bands would risk playing a beautiful melody in order to demonstrate that they knew as much as their jazz forefathers about musical tradition – maybe even more. It was reverse machismo. When loud fusion bands unplugged to lower the volume, that's when they were showing off most! When bad bands tried this, it was a cosmic joke. When great bands did it, the result could be transcendent.
Chick Corea's Return to Forever could be such a unit. "No Mystery" is a beautifully realized composition. Interwoven with the delicate fluttering of Corea's keys and Di Meola's strings, the tune is performed in several movements. It is filled with highly elaborate flights of joy and more somber tones as Clarke bows his upright. Percussionist Lenny White provides rhythmic texture while never pounding away on a single drumhead. Sure, lots of this music was written out and improvisation was at a minimum. "No Mystery" is even more classical than it is jazz. But performances like these set Return to Forever and other such bands apart. They expected their audiences to appreciate good music in all of its forms. If they had to teach their new rock fans this fact, that is what they were going to do. A little showing-off during the lesson never hurt anybody.

SOLARGUITARS – RECLAIMING THE LOST TERRITORY OF JAZZ ROCK FUSION The lost territory of Jazz Rock Fusion is apparently a territory that nobody wanted. Most Jazz musicians I know run from the association…but why? BECAUSE THERE IS NO STANDARD! When John Mclaughlin and Return to Forever disbanded, they also took down the artform with them. Being part of the Miles Legion, Mclaughlin and Corea had the historical connect. They were an heir to the living history of jazz which had been handed down - more on the bandstand, than at the university. And because of that historical connection to Miles it made it hard to argue that this new Jazz Rock Fusion Music shouldn't be taken seriously. Problem…they killed the tree just when it was starting to grow. When Mahavishnu and Return To Forever disbanded left a vacuum. There was no historical standard to anchor the artform so it disintegrated into an anything goes attitude. And that is why SOLARGUITARS now seeks to reclaim this LOST TERRITORY OF JAZZ ROCK FUSION. The new portal is starting to reassemble that history with the musicians that made it happen. Just look at some of the new members of this new network – Tony "Thunder" Smith (Jan Hammer, Jeff Beck, John Mclaughlin) Kenwood Dennard – (Brand X, Pat Martino) Fernando Saunders - (Jan Hammer, Jeff Beck, John Mclaughlin) Delmar Brown – (Pat Martino, Sting) Mikhal Caldwell - (Jeff Berlin, Cindy Blackman, David Sancious) With new artists signing up to join the network daily and with Solarguitars.com dominating google under Jazz Rock Fusion – web, videos, blogs and news…no wonder Founder and Jazz Rock Fusion Guitarist Daryll Dobson is smiling! The new RTF tour was announced today and I must say it was a bittersweet pill…I LOVE THESE GUYS…but I wonder if this is just another thing they'll do this year…another way to merchandise a KNOWN BRAND NAME?...or will these guys finally make a real commitment to finish what they started…25 YEARS AGO?…..DD

The festivals of Mexico and Latin America are world renowned for their colorful decorations, energetic music, and cultural significance. El Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, is no exception! The holiday is one of the most important celebrations in Latin America and demonstrates the culture's strong sense of love and respect for one's ancestors while celebrating the continuance of life. Join in the festivities and learn more about this unique holiday as you tour the altars, shop in the marketplace, explore traditional arts and crafts, and enjoy live music and dance.

Colorful open air markets line the streets of Latin America during the celebration. Local merchants sell food, flowers, art, and handmade items which people buy to decorate their altars and tombs. Visit the vendors at the festival to discover the talent of local artists, shop for unique gift items, and taste traditional foods!
What is tapete? Tapete is the Spanish word for carpet. Usually made with colored sand, these "carpets" are a tradition for Día de los Muertos because, like life, they are temporary. At Cheekwood, participants will use a similar temporary medium, chalk, to create the large-scale colorful murals to honor the deceased. Experience the brilliance of these custom designs before they wash away!
One of the most important aspects of the Days of the Dead is the creation of a memorial altar for the departed, known as an ofrenda. All across Mexico and beyond, families honor their ancestors by creating altars decorated with items that the deceased enjoyed in life. Learn more about this tradition as you tour the creative ofrendas designed by local groups and organizations

Let $f : S^n \rightarrow S^n$ be a continuous map. One can define the degree of $f$ as the integer $k$ such that $f_* : H_n(S^n) \rightarrow H_n(S^n)$ is multiplication by $k$ on $H_n(S^n) \cong \mathbb Z$. However, it also makes sense so define the degree as the integer $k'$ such that $f^*$ is multiplication by $k'$ on $H^n(S^n)$. Must these two integers agree?

If these lawsuits actually get paid out its not going to stop...someone or some group will find SOMETHING offensive with a lot of team names.

We are in the last week of the centennial celebrations of renowned director Akira Kurosawa, as presented at the Cinema du Parc. It seems like his most major works have already been presented, but there are a few surprises left. The retrospective of over 25 films has been mostly presented chronologically, so coming up are his famous last few films, as Montreal viewers venture into color territory. The next couple of picks offer the some of his best dramatic ensemble work.
What stands out in the next couple of days, August 26-27, is an older Kurosawa film, The Lower Depths (1957). One last time we get to feast our eyes on Kurosawa's black-and-white mastery, as well as another epic performance by Toshiro Mifune. The film is based on Maxim Gorky's classic proletariat play of the same name. One of the bleakest of his films, about lower class denizens of an apartment complex, follows Gorky's play quite faithfully, in comparison to the other brilliant version, by Jean Renoir in 1936. But it seems as though Kurosawa took many more liberties, by completely changing the setting and time period, although keeping the postwar glumness he was riding on.
Sticking to the ensemble work of characters at the lower ends of society comes his most bizarre and misunderstood film. Towards the end of his career, Kurosawa was becoming more magical and transcendent, and this is a clear example of a director wanting to be playful. A series of vignettes following the inhabitants of a Japanese slum, it is at times tragic, heart-warming and heart-wrenching. Being his first color film, and having been reluctant to follow the trend and leave his black-and-white world behind, he found reason in Dodes'ka-den (1970) to finally make the switch. The playfulness in color and rainbow imagery is very apparent, and he never looked back. This is the work of a more mature and wise man, one who can tell simple stories with a mastery of a man who has been behind the camera all his life.

Thursday climatic battle between the United States and Germany will be a game of chicken.
Both teams can advance with a tie or a win. A loss and mathematics comes into to play for either team.
The two teams look at each other as somewhere between acquaintances and friends.
Bitter rivals are a stretch. The two coaches where once mentor and prodigy and now face off on soccer's biggest state.
While both teams will not park the bus in front of the goal, neither one will throw caution to the wind.
The USMNT will try to run a motion offense that will hold the ball in the middle of the pitch, look for spaces in the wings and take calculated chances.
Midfielders Michael Bradley, Kyle Beckerman and Jermaine Jones will have to continue their work in the midfielderas they did against Portugal.
Against Portugal USMNT Coach Jürgen Klinsmann played five midfielder with team captain Clint Dempsey up front.
While the five midfielder's formation slowed down Portugal Superstar Cristian Ronaldo, slowing down the speedy German team will be another story.USMNT coach Jürgen Klinsmann could start Sounders FC DeAndre Yedlin in the right midfield flank because of his speed.
If that is the case Graham Zusi would move to the left and Clint Dempsey would be free to roam in the number 10 position. German Coach Joachim Low like's to run a transition offense that presses the opponent, force a turnover and quickly counter.
The Germans are masters at channeling the ball, double teaming and pressing the ball in the midfield.
The Germans are a deep and experienced team sprinkled with some young guns. In its 2-2 draw against Ghana Germany played a 4-3-3 with midfielders Sami Khedira Philip Lahm and Toni Kroos linked up well with Mario Gotze, Mesut Ozil and Thomas Muller.
Both teams will play a wait and see who blinks first game for the first hour and the last thirty minutes could be a wild finish.

Introductory Information
The Yavapai-Apache Nation is located in the Upper Verde Valley of central Arizona off of I-17, 90 miles north of Phoenix and 50 miles south of Flagstaff.
The modern Nation is the amalgamation of two historically distinct Tribes both of whom occupied the Upper Verde prior to European invasion. The Western Apache group calling themselves, Dilzhe'e and popularly known as the "Tonto Apache" utilized the lands to the north, east and south; while the Yavapai's known as Wipukyipaya were using country to the north, the west and the south. It was the Upper Verde where they overlapped.
After short, brutal wars with the government a Military Reserve of 900 square miles was established in 1871 to accommodate both groups. However, this Reserve was rescinded by Presidential Order in 1875 and all of the people, Yavapai and Apache alike, numbering around 1,700, were forcibly marched to the San Carlos agency east of Phoenix. By the late 1890′s the reservation system was breaking down and beginning in 1900 the survivors of the removal began drifting back to their home country in small family groups. In 1909 a postage stamp reservation was established in Camp Verde, followed by additional parcels in Middle Verde, Clarkdale and Rimrock. Today the descendants of these stalwart Yavapai and Apache people live in communities totaling about 600 acres.
The Upper Verde Valley is characterized by chalky white limestone cliffs carved over the centuries by the Verde River. The Valley is surrounded by high country and enjoys an Upper Sonoran climate and vegetation. The flood plain and stream wash deposits are important as resources for farming and the recovery of sand and gravels. The Nation also runs a Tribal herd on lease lands.
Currently the Nation is focusing on social services, education, acquiring more land for housing and economic development based on heritage tourism and construction of a shopping center. A new cultural center for the Nation is underway at this time. It will house the offices of Yavapai and Apache Cultural Preservation as well as language program and the Tribal collections.

The Montezuma Castle National Monument, in conjunction with the Cliff Castle Casino, have proved to be a tremendous draw for tourists coming to Camp Verde. Montezuma Castle, along with Montezuma Well and Tuzigoot, are prehistoric Indian cliff dwellings that lure curious tourists to the area and are within close proximity to the reservation.
Other nearby fascinating attractions are the red rocks of Sedona, the famous ghost mining town of Jerome, and the Fort Verde State Park of Camp Verde. All of these attractions are located within the beautiful Verde Valley surrounded by mountains with trout filled streams. All local communities have adequate lodging, restaurants and fast-food facilities.
The Tribe opened a casino in May 1995. The Casino has 451 slot machines and poker tables. The tribe also owns and operates Cliff Castle Lodge Motel, a Best Western facility, located off of Exit 289, Hwy I-17. This operation has attracted tourists off the I-17 conduit as well as residents from nearby communities including the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations. The casino has become the largest employer in the Verde Valley region. Gaming revenues are utilized to develop tribal social service programs.

Camels are being linked to the recent spread of the MERS virus, the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, which has made its way from Saudi Arabia to the United States. The World Health Organization has issued warnings about contact with camels, advising those people with chronic kidney failure, diabetes, chronic lung disease, or otherwise compromised immune systems to avoid contact completely. Saudi Arabia has issued warnings to wear masks and gloves when dealing with the animals, according to a Monday, May 12, article on The Province.com.
The camel, a source of food and milk in many parts of the world, can still be consumed after cooking or pasteurization. Oddly, camel urine is considered to have medicinal qualities, but the WHO cautions against drinking the urine. Diseased camels should not be consumed at all and should be separated from other animals.
The MERS virus is a cousin to the SARS virus which killed hundreds of people after appearing in China in 2002. Both of these illnesses are caused by the coronavirus, and there are no treatments currently available. The MERS cases in Saudi Arabia are soaring, and the death rate is currently understood to be around 30%.
A man visiting family in the United States brought the illness from Saudi Arabia, arriving in Chicago and riding a bus to Indiana, according to a report on the LA Times. Although the potential for disaster has been somewhat downplayed regarding this camel-borne disease due to sensitivity to the Arab culture, the response by the public health entities in the U.S. speaks volumes. They have traced everyone he was remotely in contact with during his visit, even isolating around 50 hospital workers who had the potential for being exposed to MERS.
The authorities worked quickly and decisively in this case to prevent an epidemic of unknown proportion. Although the man diagnosed with MERS has been released to return to Saudi Arabia, the United States remains on alert, watching for signs of this and other dangerous diseases. The head of epidemiology for the state of Indiana, Pam Pontones, was quoted by the LA Times.
"Anyone is a planeload away from any disease on Earth."

Ryse 2? The only reason why Ryse 1 sold was due to lack of launch games.
The same reason why the pure crap game Knack even sold on PS4.
Halo 2: Anniversary + Halo 5. <- I will only buy them to complete the collection.
Still playing Halo 1 Anniversary which is a drag and boring as hell.
Perfect Dark reboot? When people think of this old dead franchise, they think of the N64 version.
There some "goodies" on the list, but still old recycled/upgraded games.
Actually Nintendo and Sony also focuses mainly on recycling/upgrading too.
