A realtor describes a great 1,294 square foot East Side apartment that has an asking price of $28,000. She says, "When they finish the second avenue subway this apartment will quadruple in value." Peggy is the buyer, which surprises the realtor when Abe arrives.
When we see Peggy survey the apartment it evokes the scene from last season when the heads of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce visited a new space for the agency.
Bobby peels off wallpaper in his room.
Don and Megan, dressed up, bump into Arnie and Sylvia who are off to D.C. Arnie is giving a keynote address after the original choice dropped out. Megan's up for an award for advertising.
At the event, Megan greets Peggy, though Don stays away at first. Peggy is also up for an award. In the male-dominated world of "Mad Men," the women are shining.
Paul Newman is the awards keynote speaker. Someone shouts that Martin Luther King, Jr. is dead.
Ginz takes a girl his father set him up with to a diner, where he babbles a la Woody Allen, saying he's never had sex, not even once. She tells him she thinks he's very handsome, which cheers him up. Then they hear, too, about MLK. At the Francis house, Henry leaves to help the mayor.
At the awards ceremony, everybody waits in long lines to use the phone booths. Abe goes uptown to take photographs for the New York Times. Later we see Megan came home with a trophy, but given the events of the night, nobody much cares.
Betty sees what Bobby is doing to the wallpaper. He lies, and she just tells him to go to sleep.
Pete calls home. He tries to get permission to go home, but Trudy shuts him down. Riots begin.
Peggy is surprised to see her African-American secretary at work, and then hugs her and sends her home. Harry is put out that the special broadcasts are preempting his specials. Pete shouts that he's only upset because it's costing him, and calls him a pig and a racist.
Don wants to send Dawn home, but she'd rather be at work, and Joan hugs her awkwardly and says, "We're all so sorry." Dawn doesn't really hug her back.
Randall Walsh, who was at the awards dinner, comes in to SCDP quoting Tecumseh and Dr. King's ghost. He's in the property insurance business. He says he sees his name, a Molotov cocktail lit by a match, and a coupon at the bottom. Don hates it.
At home, Don watches the news of rioting in Washington, D.C., where Sylvia is, with a drink. The phone rings: It's Betty, angry that he forgot to pick up the kids. He goes to get them, although the streets are full of danger.
Peggy's mad that someone else got the apartment, while Abe types his story. They bicker and it turns out that Abe doesn't want to live on the upper east side, but would rather live on the west side. She's not mad because he's talking about where they could raise kids. So now she's all smiles.
At the Francis home, Henry is thinking of running for state senate, which makes Betty smile, too.
Poor lonely Pete ordered Chinese food and is all alone.
At Don's, Bobby doesn't want to go to a vigil in the park, pretending to be sick. He's not supposed to watch TV for a week, Don learns, because of the wallpaper, so he takes him to the movies instead, "Planet of the Apes." Bobby loves it, and they sit through it again.
Megan is mad when he gets home. Don talks about how fathers sometimes fake their love for their children. Sometimes, however, that pretending can become real. "One day they get older and you see them do something and you feel that feeling that you were pretending to have. And it feels like your heart is going to explode," Don confesses. Megan tears up.
Don hugs Bobby, who can't sleep, and smokes a cigarette on the balcony, while alarms sound below.

Join the conversation and leave your thoughts in the comments.
Here's a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr.'s book "Why We Can't Wait" that speaks directly to this episode of "Mad Men":
"One aspect of the civil-rights struggle that receives little attention is the contribution it makes to the whole society. The Negro in winning rights for himself produces substantial benefits for the nation. Just as the doctor will occasionally reopen a wound, because a dangerous infection hovers beneath the half-healed surface, the revolution for human rights is opening up unhealthy areas in American life and permitting a new and wholesome healing to take place. Eventually the civil-rights movement will have contributed infinitely more to the nation than the eradication of racial injustice. It will have enlarged the concept of brotherhood to a vision of total interrelatedness. On that day, Canon John Donne's doctrine, 'no man is an islande,' will find its truest application in the United States."
One other thought about Don's speech about fathers faking their love for their children until, in some cases, it eventually becomes real. Season 5, Episode 8 was titled "Lady Lazarus" after the Sylvia Plath poem. Here's an excerpt from that poem that, perhaps in some way, speaks to Don's turmoil:
"I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call."
Walter, you started us out this season by observing that on "Mad Men," as in life, history is mostly experienced in the background. Not this week. This week, history was foreground. And not just any history, but history of the most calamitous sort — the kind that dwarfs our characters' usual concerns and travails, putting them in a whole new (and mostly unflattering) perspective. We saw this coming; just last week, we talked about how history seemed to be quickening, and almost looming over the show. But still, I wasn't prepared for how stricken we all would be — characters and viewers alike — when the worst came to pass.
It was hard to unravel all of the emotions our characters were experiencing in the wake of Reverend King's assassination. I generally don't care for "out of the mouths of babes" as a dramatic device, but surely Bobby got it mostly right when he explained to the usher in the theater that "people like to go to the movies when they're sad." And on top of the terrible sadness, there was the very palpable fear: that this was the beginning of the end, a dam bursting and bringing a flood that would sweep everything away. It can't be a coincidence that Don and Bobby spent their day watching (twice!) that iconic image of the end of the world — Charlton Heston in "Planet of the Apes," cursing as the ocean laps at the felled Statue of Liberty.
But there's another layer of meaning behind this episode's title, "The Flood," and we get it from Michael Ginsberg's father: It's precisely when things are worst, he tells Michael, that "a man and a woman need to be together the most." After all, in the flood, "the animals went on the ark two by two." Peggy and Abe, at least, seem to share that instinct, though I doubt that they would articulate it in such biblical terms: Abe is suddenly talking about raising children with Peggy, and though I'm not convinced he really deserves her, it was nice to see them share that happy moment in the midst of so much sorrow.
Pete, too, was reaching out to Trudy, though for that pair, the instinct went one way only, and Pete was left lonely and on his own, flailing out at Harry at work and trying to make conversation with the delivery man at his apartment. Henry and Betty were a bit of a mixed bag, I thought; Betty seemed genuinely happy for Henry when they talked about his decision to run for office — but then we saw her enthusiasm fade when she realized that she would be filling the role of "political wife," and I wonder whether this "two by two" can survive those pressures. And as for Don and Megan — well, I guess it was nice when Don opened up about his ambivalence about parenthood, but he spent most of the episode worrying about the Rosens, off in Washington, D.C. (I like to think he's as worried about the good Dr. Rosen as he is about his wife, but maybe that's just wishful thinking), and grabbing at the first excuse to avoid spending time with Megan in the park. I don't think that's what Mr. Ginsberg had in mind at all.
We may end up coming back to this episode. For once, the personal and professional lives of these characters took a backseat to what was happening in the world around them — but that doesn't mean they stopped entirely, and there were little moments that may prove important in later weeks. Peggy's relationship with her African-American secretary, for instance, continues to develop into something very warm and supportive — just contrast Peggy's moment (and hug) with her secretary with Don and Joan's far stiffer interactions with Dawn, or even with Peggy's own prior efforts to relate to Dawn. We hear a lot about how difficult and unpleasant Peggy is at work, but nothing we saw in this episode lends credence to that account. And isn't this the second episode in a row with some aside about the indignities of life at a small advertising agency — last week, Ted Chaough on how big agencies swoop in for the big accounts, leaving only crumbs for the small agencies; and this week, chatter about the petty insult of being relegated to bad tables at the awards ceremony? Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I do wonder whether ground is being laid for some professional reshuffling here.
But all of that can wait. This episode was about something bigger than our usual frame of reference, and I found it moving in a way that's hard to write about. And of course, we know what they don't — that there's still more trauma to come in 1968. These aren't ordinary times, and Mr. Ginsberg is at least mostly right: It would help to be able to weather them together — not necessarily two-by-two, a man and a woman, but together. We'll see if our characters can find that comfort when they need it.
"The Flood' begins with two very private images of personal disruption. The first is of Peggy, back to the camera, staring out a window. Although reminiscent of the final tableau of last season when the partners of SCDP looked out of floor to ceiling windows over a vista of Manhattan, Peggy's view is more constricted. It is "too far East"—and overlooks the highway. It represents a personal complication that is both positive and negative—she is about to buy her first apartment; and her relationship with Abe is about to change. The next image is of Bobby peeling off the unaligned wall-paper that is eye-level to his bed. Although Betty takes it as a sign of pre-teen destruction, it is his visual sensitivity that causes him to start the destructive process. Each unsettled image is typical of the compartmentalized interior lives that this season has shown us so far.
As Pam and Alan have pointed out—all of that changes in this episode. We have been waiting for the public disruptions of the 1960's to penetrate the world of Mad Men—and this night in 1968 changes everything. The assassination of Martin Luther King sends the world into chaos. Each character responds with a personal grief and shock, at the same time that riots break out in the cities along the East Coast. This event forces the characters to confront not only their own issues of insecurity and morality, but it forces them into surprising interactions with other characters.
Although Peggy, Don and the other ad execs expect their black secretaries to stay home in the aftermath of the tragedy—each one comes in wanting to work, wanting to be comforted by the routine and fellow workers.
Pete reaches out to Trudy under the pretext that he doesn't want her and Tammy to be alone; yet, we know he is talking about his own fears. "I don't want you to be worried," he says, longing to be home and reassured.
Roger confronts the fact that no amount of success can protect you from violence. He expresses his bewilderment as only an ad man could: "Man knew how to talk," he says of King, "I don't know why, but I though that could save him."
Betty and Henry find a new ambition—and a new reality in their marriage–through the riots in New York City. Henry sees the events as a galvanizing opportunity for his own political trajectory.
In the midst of an argument with Peggy about the apartment, Abe mentions where he imagines their "children" growing up. Peggy seizes on this silently, happily, and we see a slight change in her view of what her life might become.
The assassination becomes a touchstone for defining what each character wants.
Any of the actors in Megan's scene study class (I'm assuming she is still taking classes, since everyone did in those days) would tell you that a dramatic character is defined by their wants: "I want to…." This dramatic formula has been hard to pin down for Don Draper during this season. In fact, each character has been operating in a zone of anomie, taking events as they come. What the tragedy of King's death demonstrates is that each character wants "…to feel"—something—anything.
Throughout the previous seasons, Don Draper was carving out a new identity for himself—he wanted "to be someone else"; he and his partners wanted "to be at the top." This yearning creates a dynamic in the narrative—a drive that seemed to be missing this season.
Yet, here we are with each character defining himself or herself more clearly in the face of a national tragedy. Megan returns from a rally and accuses Don of the same dispassion we have accused him of all season: "Who knows what you're feeling?"
He tells Megan that when he had children: "You don't feel anything…you want to love them, but you don't, and you wonder if your own father was pretending." Then, Don says, "they get older and one day they do something…and you feel that your heart is going to explode." That moment has just happened to Don, and he is feeling something for the first time. He "wants to be a father."
King's death has triggered a profound change in Don. It is not the event itself, but his son's reaction to it that changes his life. Don and Bobby had been sitting alone with in the movie theater, waiting to watch another showing of "Planet of the Apes." A black porter comes in, cleaning up the theater. Bobby asks him if he has seen the movie, and then adds. "Everyone likes to go to the movies when they are sad."
Bobby, who has not been allowed to watch television throughout the King tragedy, is responding to his own personal grief—he feels he was unjustly punished for tearing the wallpaper. It wasn't a destructive act, but one of acute visual sensitivity. Here he is, taking comfort in the movies—just as Don has always done. More importantly, he extends his emotional empathy to the porter—seeking to provide a child's version of solace.
Through his ad campaigns, Don has been a master of tapping into other people's emotions, but has been unable to access his own. The "pull at your heartstrings" that he manufactured from his own family photos for the Kodak wheel campaign was a construct. For the first time, at the movie theater, Don has an emotional connection that makes him want to go on living.
Ultimately, this episode about the most public, political event, shows us the most private change in Don.
A side note: Before the avid real-estate watch-dogs begin their deconstruction of the relative merits of living 'too far east' on the now-tony blocks between 1st Avenue and York, let me just say that I am writing from what Abe describes as the "rough, run-down" Upper West Side. Personally, I believe Peggy should buy immediately–there are some very nice apartments available in 1968 right on Central Park West for well under $20,000.
I was a freshman at Princeton in 1968 when the world heard that Martin Luther King, Jr. had been killed. It was a class day, and the president of Princeton refused to call off the classes. Hundreds of students (especially the small group of African Americans at Princeton) marched to the president's home to demand they stop classes. Shortly after, the president came to his front door and said to the students standing out side, "Gentlemen, I have made a mistake."
I would guess that many white Americans wondered what they should do and what they should feel. I'm sure black Americans had different feelings. But it wasn't long before many people understood how terrible it was, and how important it was to pay attention, to stop their ordinary day and try to find the appropriate way to respond and to mourn. But there were also many people who paid little attention to the death of King.
The assassination of King hit the Mad Men the same way. Some of the Mad Men went on with their day. Henry knew how terrible the assassination was, but more than anything else, he was thinking about how he might now be able to move up the ladder – to become a state senator because he thought the times would change. Abe saw King's death as a chance to help his journalism career.
Surprisingly, it was Pete who was both saddened and at the same time angry while other Mad Men paid little attention to it. When he went out to the suburbs to bring Sally and Bobby to his apartment. Bobby was frightened that someone might kill Henry – not Don. At first, Don didn't know what to think and, as always, didn't say very much. But like many others, the death of King hit people long after it happened. Don took Bobby to the movies, to see the same bad movie twice. Bobby felt safe in the theater. He told Don, "Everyone wants to go to the movies when they're sad." When he got home with Bobby, Megan chastised him. "Who knows what you're thinking . . .We can't just be sitting around. We have to do something."
In the midst of this crisis, Don opened his feelings to Megan for once. "I didn't feel anything when they were born," he told her when she asked why she didn't pay enough attention to his children. Maybe it was because of his father, he says. "The baby comes out and you pretend," he said. "You want to love them, but you don't. You're faking that feeling. And then one day they get older, and you see they're doing something, and your heart is about to explode."
Almost everyone had some powerful feelings in the aftermath of King's death. African Americans saw the assassination as an effort of some white people to keep black men and women down, another "fire next time." But for most white Americans, at least, the mourning didn't last long. It changed to fear – with the anger, the riots, and the fires.
April 4, 1968. As Pam Harris, says, with this episode history moves to the foreground. And viewers who are old enough remember exactly where they were when they heard the news. Alan recalls being a freshman at Princeton when its President initially decided against cancelling classes. I was that night about 90 miles south of Memphis, a fledgling teacher of Political & Civil Rights at the University of Mississippi Law School. The issue at Ole Miss was whether to lower the flag to half-mast as African American students and others insisted. Armed whites were said to be headed to Oxford to raise it back to the top of the flagpole. The University was closed because of fear that this dispute would escalate into violence, and the flagpole was left empty.
While the episode conveyed with considerable force the national trauma of the assassination, it missed an opportunity to recapture, however briefly, a truer account of King's increasingly powerful opposition to the Vietnam War and his egalitarian vision of economic justice. One might have expected from Roger Sterling some reference to the threat that this more radical King seemed to pose to the financially comfortable and the pro-war establishment. As my son Drew noted in a recent celebration of King's Mountaintop Period, King by 1968 was beginning to advance a "Cosmology of Connection" that linked the great issues of his time. Resistance to that vision would surely have been manifest in some Madison Avenue offices.
"He looked at his son, and thought of his father" is a memorable line from some written work I otherwise no longer recall. Don looks at Bobby and thinks of his own father, painfully wondering if his father had felt as little love for Don as Don has felt – before this moment — for his children. We see in this episode a more reflective Donald Draper, a man now more clearly than ever on some existential journal of self-discovery.
As Evangeline notes, "For the first time, at the movie theater, Don has an emotional connection that makes him want to go on living."
Young Bobby's awkward but touching attempt to comfort the man of color who cleans the movie theater opens Don's heart to a son he admits he has never loved – until now. And at that moment, Don hears Bobby express his fear is that something might happen, not to Don, but rather to Henry Francis. "Henry isn't important enough" for anyone to want to harm him, Don snidely assures his son. But Henry is important to Bobby, and that is perhaps the source of the most painful moment we have ever seen Donald Draper experience.
I, too, remember exactly where I was when I heard about Dr. King. I was watching television in our surburban house (whose interior so resembled the Drapers' Bullet Park Road dwelling) before dinner. I had no idea at that moment — I was in third grade — who Dr. King was, but by the end of the week I did. Our elementary school, unlike SCDP, closed immediately, and unlike Betty Draper, my mother made me stay inside and watch television. I suppose that was the beginning of my commitment to being a civil rights lawyer.
I agree with all of what you have said. Betty's not allowing the children to watch because "you don't know who else they're going to shoot," brought me back to the Kennedy assassination episode in Season 3 where Betty saw Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald on live television and decided to leave Don for Henry. Five years later, it's interesting to think of how our characters have changed and how they've stayed the same. There too Harry Crane reacted by thinking about business, Pete Campbell showed a rare flash of humanity (think of he and Trudy deciding not to go to Margaret Sterling's wedding). And Peggy still has the picture of JFK on her wall.

Need a starter guidePosted Wednesday, 11 March, 2009 - 14:12 by cintitak2 in
Hi! i'm a little newbie about openAL. I've to make a program that plays simultanouslly two diferent sound files (by the time, they're in wave format), with independet gain control under Visual C++ .Net.
By this time, i've done it but calling an executable that i've made from the example PlayWave from OpenAL on Native C++, BUT it is a little uggly for my users to see a console appearing every time they push a play button.
I know it is simople, but every code i found related with OpenTK is oriented to C#.
The point is: is there any OpenTK in Visual C++ .Net for dummies or something like that, some little examples, nothing complicated, as a startning point, for just playing some sound files??
I've developed the rest of the program under Visual Studio 2005 in C++ .Net.
Thanks a lot, I'd really appreciate your help!
OpenTK cannot be used from pure C++, so I assume you mean C++/CLI?
Noone has contributed any C++/CLI examples, but the code is simple enough that you should be able to port it even if you don't know C#.
The basic idea is that you create an
AudioContext^ to initialize OpenAL and one or more
AudioReader^ instances to load wav files. You can then play back the audio using
AL::Source and
you're right the tree didn't let me see the forest. Added the references, the code was as simpke as this:
AudioContext^ audio; audio = gcnew AudioContext(); AudioReader^ arch1 = gcnew AudioReader("DW01.wav"); int buff1 = AL::GenBuffer(); int sour1 = AL::GenSource(); AL::BufferData(buff1, arch1->ReadToEnd()); AL::Source(sour1, ALSourcei::Buffer, buff1); AL::SourcePlay(sour1);
well, thanks for make me take some confidence in myself!

27 Mar Relentless and Reluctant about Travel
Posted in Morocco, United States, We Said
|Lisa Niver Rajna at Uncovering Jewish Morocco Travel talk
My travel talk last week could have been a total bust. That was essentially what one Rabbi told me on December 2, 2010,
What is the worst-case scenario? Can you live with doing this talk if you have a small group size? Of course, the best case is your talk is to lots of people.
I felt at the time that he was trying to discourage me from giving a talk without the sponsorship of a specific group, but I think he was being realistic. What would make people leave their home on a rainy night when they could watch news about bombing Libya, the "American Idol" results show or the new "Gray's Anatomy" on television? I wondered last week, would any of the people show up?
During the process of getting a room, creating publicity and writing my talk, one or two of my friends called me relentless, but I prefer the label tenacious. A different rabbi told me that I am "relentlessly tenacious." Maybe that is what is required in our society to do something really different. When my husband and I were away for a year in Asia on an eleven-day trip, camping in tents, called Gers to the Gobi Desert, a few of our companions said, "We just don't want to go back home and watch television every night. While we are traveling we do such interesting things. We want to find a way to do that at home also."
Now that we are home from our travels, I want to share my experiences and reluctant foibles of traveling. My Uncovering Jewish Morocco travel talk had 37 guests and well over 75 on the list of yes and maybe RSVPs. I spoke to so many travelers on the phone. It was really incredible!
One email about my talk (which was sent to my parents who were out of town):
Lisa did a fantastic job…she was charming, very enthusiastic, well prepared, delivery excellent, truly created a desire to see HER Morocco…..we loved our trip but must say she did it in depth with a purpose…we were tourists…and she introduced me to a taste I cannot believe I never enjoyed…CINNAMON sprinkled on orange…anyway, she was awesome…the photos George took were quite good too! So puff out your chest and take pride in knowing you have a very dynamic daughter.
I had great responses on the written survey we handed out at the end of the presentation. Many people said they would even come to another talk! How exciting!
Another email reminded me how so many cannot even imagine speaking to a group:
Just thought I'd let you know we thought you made a very good presentation and spoke confidently and warmly. I guess speaking to a classroom every day gives you the background to speak to a room of adults, too. They say that speaking before an audience is the thing that frightens people most.
I think that not traveling frightens me the most. I just love to be on the road exploring and learning. I look forward to sharing the video of my talk with you soon. Negotiations are in process for our next talk. If you want to be part of making that happen, contact me at this email.
I often have to remember everything starts by taking the first step, and even though I seem relentless at times, I am frequently reluctant. "Taking a risk and a deep breathe, I said yes." That is the line I wrote in our book about choosing to go with George on a yearlong career break in Asia. He asked me to quit my job, leave my condo and travel for a year in South East Asia. I said yes, but I had so many objections. It took a lot of negotiating for me to actually go.
Then last year he wanted to go to Morocco, where I said adamantly at first, I am not going there to mingle with those people. As a place I did not want to visit at first, I did my research and realized the trip could be great. Usually when George wants to go somewhere and I don't want to go, I end up having the time of my life. Poor expectations are good for something, I realize! An open mind is even better.
One survey respondent at the end of the talk said:
You were so confident and had a lot of interesting information. So glad I got off my couch to come.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my blog and think about your dreams and get ready because, We said GO travel! I hope that you will rise from your couch and take a first step today. I am soon going to book a flight for my next adventure. How about you?

The Giver
by Lois Lowry
The Giver Isolation Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
At first, he had only been fascinated. He had never seen aircraft so close, for it was against the rules for Pilots to fly over the community. Occasionally. When the supplies were delivered by cargo planes to the landing field across the river, the children rode their bicycles to the riverbank and watched, intrigued, the unloading and then the takeoff directed to the west, always away from the community. (1.2)
Much of The Giver has to do with the way Jonas's responsibility as Receiver isolates him from the rest of his community. But it's interesting to note that the novel begins with this, a declaration of the community's isolation from the rest of the world.
Quote #2
"So there will be a whole part of your life which you won't be able to share with a family. It's hard, Jonas. It was hard for me." (13.50-51)
For The Giver, isolation has to do with the burden of duty. To break his isolation would be to share the memories he holds with others—which we know would cause them pain. In this way, The Giver is self-sacrificing.
Quote #3
"Go," The Giver would tell him tensely. "I'm in pain today. Come back tomorrow."
On those days, worried and disappointed, Jonas would walk alone beside the river. The paths were empty of people except for the few Delivery Crews and Landscape Workers here and there. Small children were all at the Childcare Center after school, and the older ones busy with volunteer hours or training. (13.80-81)
Jonas seems to be the only Twelve who is isolated because of his job. This is, needless to say, even more isolating for him.

The Illinois Agricultural Cooperative Act: The Possibility of and Procedure for Denying the Voting Rights of Stockholders
Adam J. Hermann | 2002 U. Ill. L. Rev. 1177
Download PDF
The Illinois Agricultural Cooperative Act (ACA) governs agricultural co-operative associations organized in Illinois. The Act incorporates by ref-erence all of the provisions of the Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1983 (BCA) that are not in conflict with the ACA. One provision of the BCA allows a corporation to limit or deny the voting rights of its share-holders if the corporation's articles of incorporation so provide. Whether this particular provision is in conflict with the ACA, and hence whether agricultural cooperative associations organized under the ACA may limit or deny the voting rights of their shareholders, is a debatable question.
The resolution of this question will determine whether an agricultural co-operative organized under the ACA can go forward with a cooperative business action when an insufficient number of affirmative votes in favor of the action would prevent it from occurring despite the absence of op-position to the action. This situation would arise whenever a certain number of cooperative stockholders who do not oppose a proposed action nevertheless neglect to cast votes favoring the action, causing it to fail.
In this note, the author argues that agricultural cooperatives organized under the ACA can indeed limit or deny stockholder voting rights as pro-vided in the BCA, and recommends that the Illinois General Assembly make its intention clear in this regard.


text: No, No, No! Gail filling in verses is NOT GOOD. She's got a lovely voice and I enjoy hearing it immesely on lead in Under Pressure and as back-up on other songs. But I HATE when Gail "fills in" for notes David feels less confident about hitting. At the 2000 BBC concert (I think, or was it the Bridge School Benefit, I forget), she sang part of the lead on Aladdin Sane and I HATED THAT!!! David sang the first verse (albeit at a lower key than the original song recorded in '73) and it sounded great, then Gail sang the second verse at a higher key (more akin to the original key). But since David's lower key first verse WORKED, I didn't like having him abdicate the second verse to Gail so she could sing it in a higher key. He should have done the whole song in the lower key, or, if he didn't like it that way, he shouldn't have done it at all. I love Gail, but when I show up to see David live, I want to hear HIS voice on lead. Zigbot

Poplar Springs Elementary students have clearly never heard the phrase 'rain on my parade.. That's because they didn't let a few early morning showers get in the way of their Fat Tuesday celebration.
"What is great about Mardi Gras is you can make masks, put them on, and be proud," said student Kiersten Hampton.
Pride does have a lot to do with the history of Mardi Gras. During the weeks leading up to this New Orleans style parade, teachers taught students the meaning behind the colors.
"Gold, green, and purple," noted student Haley Jenkins.
the parades, and the music.
"We are a Whole Arts Integrated School," said kindergarten teacher, Beth Lang. "So, we have taken the theme of the Mardi Gras celebration and we've learned about the history of Mardi Gras, the music, the culture the different foods. The colors even have meaning, yellow means power, green means fate, and purple means justice."
And while Mardi Gras is about the arts and the culture, it is also about the food.
"The best thing is the food. They have great food," said students Cooper Owen.
"The best thing about Mardi Gras to me is when you get King cake," said student Conner Shirley. "I like to try to find the little babies that they hide in it (king cake) and I really like the way it tastes."
The food, the outfits, the music, the culture, all seemed very well understood. I think the teachers can consider this a lesson learned.

White Bronze – What's That?
White bronze is actually not bronze. It is an alloy consisting of a combination of copper, tin, and zinc and is also known as 'Miralloy'. Due to nickel now being banned for jewellery use in the EU white bronze is considered the preferred, practical and safe alternative to nickel for items that can come into contact with the skin such as jewellery, buttons and zips, to name a few. Staggeringly, 15% of the US population has an allergic reaction to nickel as opposed to only 10% in the 80's suggesting nickel related allergies appear to be on the rise. White bronze eliminates this problem which is why Pure Gold Plating now uses white bronze for all items likely to come into contact with the skin.
Because of its appearance and chemical properties white bronze is an ideal substitute for nickel and silver. Also, because white bronze is highly resistant to corrosion and breakdown, being solderable, non-magnetic, smooth, and virtually non-porous, it also has one advantage over silver, it will not tarnish.
There are certain situations when white bronze cannot be used as a substitute for silver, it is not used to replace silver in jewellery made only of silver because then it would not be silver. It is used as a barrier between a base metal and gold plating in gold plated jewellery. A perfect example would be gold plating a copper ring. White bronze would first be electroplated onto the copper before the gold to act as this barrier. Without this white bronze layer the copper atoms would diffuse into the gold layer and eventually affect the gold colour. This process can take anywhere from months to several years.
White bronze is actually very attractive, despite its low cost, meaning that in some jewellery it can be used as the final layer. White bronze usually has a thickness of about 1 to 2.5 microns when used internally as a barrier layer. One micron is only 1 – 1/1000th of 1mm.
Certain companies, from the late 1800s, were using white bronze for grave markers. Though, this type was mostly zinc (sold as "White Bronze") giving the impression of a more luxurious and expensive metal, rather than the mainly tin alloy it was. Grave markers made of this material usually had a pale blue appearance due to the metal finishing process they underwent called "steam bluing".

Tennis tournament to raise money for ConKerr Cancer San Diego
By Marlena Chavira-Medford
Staff Writer
Tennis pro Gretchen Magers is a four-time All American who has played Wimbledon, the US Open and the French Open. Her contemporary Patricia Tarabini won the bronze medal during the 2004 Olympics, where she represented her homeland Argentina. At the height of their careers, each was ranked in the top 30 in the world — and this month, two lucky residents will have a shot at sharing the court with them.
One-on-one sessions with these and other top athletes will be raffled off during a May 22 tennis tournament that raises money for ConKerr Cancer San Diego, a nonprofit that aims to brighten hospital visits for critically ill children by giving them colorful handmade pillowcases. The Optimist Club of Del Mar-Solana Beach, Lomas Santa Fe Country Club and UCSD are teaming up to host the fundraising tournament, which is open to 16 doubles.
"This tournament is a win-win: You get to play with some of the top tennis players out there today, and help kids in the process — nobody can turn that down," said Woody Yocom, director of tennis at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club and chairman for this event.
"Also, the money raised from this tournament will benefit kids right here in San Diego," added Audrey Eller, who has been a member of the Optimist Club of Del Mar-Solana Beach for 23 years and is the regional coordinator for ConKerr Cancer San Diego.
ConKerr Cancer San Diego volunteers make colorful handmade pillowcases, which are then taken to children in local hospitals, where each patient gets to pick two pillowcases as a keepsake.
"Hospital rooms tend to be very stark and sterile, but these pillowcases are a burst of cheer for the children there," Eller said. "As one mother put it, these pillowcases made her son feel like a special kid, not a sick kid. This is such a worthy cause, and we certainly hope the community will join us in helping to support it."
In fact, the community is encouraged to come cheer on the tennis players during the May 22 tournament, as admission to the event is free. The event will begin with a 9 a.m. exhibition, followed by the tennis tournament from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The public is also invited to take part in a silent auction that day, which includes dining, golf, and entertainment package prizes.
Registration fees for players are $150 for Lomas Santa Fe Country Club members, and $175 for non-members. That registration fee includes box lunch and all tournament participants get a free session with 10-time Ironman athlete-turned-trainer Pablo Healing. Once you register to play, your name will be automatically entered into a drawing for a chance to win a one-hour session with a top tennis player, including Patricia Tarabini and Gretchen Magers. Additional tickets can be purchased for $5 for one, $10 for four, and $20 for 10.

A critical factor in the availability of rare earth elements is recycling. Due to the limited number of economically viable sources of rare earths and the decreasing amount of exports from China, the world's largest rare earth producer, rare earth consumers have to be far more mindful of opportunities to recycle and reuse rare earth materials and begin to build recycling systems that can help mitigate supply risk.
According to some estimates, only one percent of all rare earth minerals are recycled today. That accounts for very little of what could be useful. In fact, most of the rare earths used in applications, such as fluorescent lighting and computer hard drives, can be recovered and reused. Doing so could mean less dependence on foreign supply and lower costs associated with the use of these technologies. Molycorp and others have begun to research the steps and processes necessary to turn recycled rare earth materials back into the high purity rare earths that can be reused. While recycling is a highly promising source of future material, the logistics and processes are complicated and will require greater consumer awareness and participation as well as extensive research and development.
The first step in this challenge is getting consumers to recycle old electronics devices and fluorescent light bulbs. According to the EPA, in 2009, 25% of consumer electronics were collected for recycling (38% of computers, 18% of televisions, and 8% of mobile phones). Similarly, only 3-5% of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) are recycled. These may be the most readily available sources of recycled material, so increasing the rate at which consumers recycle these key end products will be essential.
The next step in the process is extracting the rare earth material from each of these products, which is difficult and tedious. For instance, the typical cell phone uses rare earths but in quantities that are less than a gram, such as the tiny neodymium magnets that help power the speaker or the vibrating function. Not only is this material challenging to recover, it has previously been uneconomical to extract it at these low quantities. Computers have slightly larger magnets that enable the hard disc drives to function, and the LCD screens include rare earth phosphors, like europium, terbium and yttrium.
The rare earth content in fluorescent light bulbs is small as well, but it is slightly easier to access. CFL recycling has received substantial attention in the past due to the presence of mercury. However, less attention has been paid to the white dust on the insides of these bulbs, which are the heavy rare earth phosphors. In many cases, CFL recyclers previously captured the end caps, the mercury, and the glass, but discarded the white phosphor powder. Given the escalating prices for this material, that is quickly changing.
Once the rare earth materials, like the magnets and phosphors, have been removed from end products, producers like us have essentially a rare earth concentrate that has to go through the entire complex, chemical separation process that is necessary to capture the individual rare earths. After they're separated, they then have to be purified and, in the case of oxides, combined with other materials to create the products that are useful to technology manufacturers.
As the existing rare earths supplies continue to struggle to keep up with global demand for these materials, recycling will play an increasingly critical role. We are working on each of the steps noted above and fully expect to make recycling a key part of our business in the years to come.

Åland Islands yield rare insect species
Climate change is constantly bringing new southern species to the Åland Islands, the most south-westerly and mildest part of Finland.
Three insect species never seen before in Finland have been found at Åbo Akademi University's Husö research centre on the main island of the semi-autonomous province.
Members of the Zoological and Botanical Society of Turku collected insect species at the centre in September. They identified 194 species of two-winged insects. Three were new to Finland.
These included three fever-flies (Dilophus febrilis), first identified by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. They are found in neighbouring Sweden and Norway.
The finds also included 13 male fruit flies known by the Latin name Drosophila tristis. This creature is not common, but has been found in most western European countries including Sweden and Denmark as well as Latvia, which lies due south of Åland.
The most unusual find was a single female muscid fly known as Lispocephala falculata. The fly has so far only been found in England, Denmark, the Czech Republic and Hungary. Its lifestyle remains a mystery.
Some of the insects found will be displayed at the Åbo Akademi collection at the Turku University Zoological Museum.

Private Equity Bribery Risk Grows As Tax Shelters Clamp Down
The private equity industry will be at a higher risk of violating foreign bribery laws as a result of money barred from tax shelters, according to one expert.
The world of capital flight has shrunk, as countries like Switzerland try to shed the image of being havens for tax evaders and heads of state to park stolen assets, said Daniel Karson, the Americas chairman of Kroll, who spoke on a panel at the Dow Jones Private Equity Analyst Conference in New York.
The possibility of such assets ending up in private equity funds represents an "added peril" to private equity, he said.
With many firms now in the market hunting down new backers for new funds, there's also a risk of violating anti-bribery laws by inadvertantly taking capital from a government-connected source, said both Karson and James Gaven, senior compliance counsel for Welsh Carson Anderson & Stowe.
As a firm grows and raises money globally, it may need to deal with placement agents in new markets, exposing it to another risk if those agents have government connections, Gaven said.
Private equity firms are among financial firms reportedly being examined by the U.S. Justice Department over dealings with employees of sovereign-wealth funds.
Another risk arises from smaller firms that have been focused on the U.S. market being unaware of the wider risks of bribery. Gaven provided a theoretical example of a firm that only owns stakes in U.S. companies thinking it doesn't have to worry about bribery laws, even though it faces risk from using suppliers in China.
The preparedness of private equity firms for anti-bribery scrutiny varies a lot among firms, the panelists said.
"Private equity is used to playing on a smaller stage…they often do it by the seat of their pants," Karson said.
Dealing with the heightened foreign-bribery risk is a concern right now mostly at the big private-equity firms, said Gaven.
Karson agreed, saying smaller firms "don't think of themselves as an international firm, so they don't necessarily prepare for it."
"Bigger firms are much more attuned to it," he said.

Definition of Inuit in English:
- In the United States and Europe, this disorder is most common in Ashkenazi Jews, followed by Hispanics, Yugoslavs, Native American Inuits, and Italians.
- My background is Inupiaq Eskimo, which is the northern most tribe of Inuits in Alaska.
- The member of a very rare blood group most often found among Inuits of northern Canada.
- While Aleut is considered a separate language, Eskimo branches into Inuit and Yup'ik.
- The story about Inuit (or Inuktitut, or Yup'ik, or more generally, Eskimo) words for snow is completely wrong.
- The infamous Eskimo snow words meme is spread by people who don't know about Inuit or any related language.
- First were short films and then TV shows, which were produced to preserve and enhance Inuit culture and language while providing gainful employment to the community of Igloolik.
- Jacob Gronlykke's Heart Of Light is the first full-length and epic style feature film shot entirely in the Inuit language.
- I have suggested that there exists a range of signed languages, including an indigenous signed language, among the Inuit people of Nunavut.
The peoples inhabiting the regions from northwestern Canada to western Greenland speak Inuit languages (Inuit in Canada, Greenlandic in Greenland) and call themselves Inuit (not Eskimo). Inuit has official status in Canada, and is used in the US as a general synonym for Eskimo. This, however, is inaccurate because the Inuit are not among native Alaskans (who speak Inupiaq, or Yupik, which is also spoken in Siberia). Since neither Inupiaq nor Yupik is in common US usage, only Eskimo includes all of these peoples and their languages. See also Eskimo (usage).
Inuit, plural of inuk 'person'.
Eskimo from late 16th century:
The traditional word for the indigenous people inhabiting northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and eastern Siberia is Eskimo. The word is from Native American language Algonquian, and may have originally meant 'people speaking a different language'. It was formerly thought that the original meaning was 'person who eats raw meat' and because this was seen as insulting, the word is now avoided by many. The peoples inhabiting the regions from the Canadian Arctic to western Greenland prefer to call themselves Inuit, first recorded in English in the mid 18th century and the plural of inuk 'person'. There are comparatively few words in English from the Inuit language. Kayak, which came into English in the 18th century, is one of them, and igloo (mid 19th century) from iglu 'house', is the most notable other.

Alternatives to Total Confinement for Some Parents of Minor Children
A Positive solution for public safety
The Washington Legislature in 2010 approved SSB 6639, a bill supported by the Department of Corrections (DOC) and the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) that created two alternatives to prison confinement for some nonviolent offenders who have minor children. This bill created a judicial sentencing alternative that will be referred to as the Family & Offender Sentencing Alternative or FOSA. It also created a new program of partial confinement for use by the Department that is referred to as the Community Parenting Alternative or CPA.
Research shows children of incarcerated parents are significantly more likely to end up in the criminal justice system themselves. The goal of this program is to help stop that cycle of criminal activity.
What you need to know
This legislation has 2 distinct alternatives within the law.
- FOSA Requirements are the court side alternative.
- CPA Eligibility is the DOC inmate program.
The law was effective June 10, 2010. Additional summary material regarding these options is provided in the FOSA Brochure. Special printing instructions: Under the "print" menu, Select "2–sided (Tablet)" and then Click "OK".
Legislative Work Group Presentation
On February 29, 2012 the DOC staff made a presentation on the Parenting Sentencing Alternative to the House of Representatives Early Learning and Human Services Committee and to the Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Committee. The Legislative Work Group Presentation is available for your review in this .pdf format.
A Judge's Sentence Options (FOSA)
Judges may request that DOC complete a risk assessment report and⁄or chemical dependency screening prior to sentencing. At the Court's request, the Children's Administration will inform the court if the agency has an open child welfare case or if there were prior substantiated referrals of abuse or neglect involving the offender. If there is an open case, Children's Administration will provide a report to the court within seven business days.
FOSA allows judges to waive a sentence for FOSA Eligible offenders within the standard sentence range and impose 12 months of community custody along with conditions for treatment and programming for eligible offenders facing a prison sentence. Offenders will be supervised by a Community Corrections Officer who is responsible for a low, specialized caseload of offenders who are sentenced under FOSA or have been placed in the community on electronic monitoring as a part of the CPA program.
FOSA orders can be revoked
DOC will provide quarterly progress reports to the court regarding the offender's progress in programming, treatment and other supervision requirements. Judges have the authority to require the offender to appear at court to evaluate progress and can modify conditions or impose confinement within the standard range for the current offense, if the court determines the offender violated the conditions or is failing to make progress in treatment. The time spent in the community will not be credited toward the confinement time.
Community Parenting Alternative (CPA)
The bill allows DOC to create a new Partial Confinement program for CPA Eligible offenders. The Department may transfer the offender to the community under electronic monitoring to serve up to the last 12 months of his or her sentence. Offenders will be supervised by a Community Corrections Officer who is responsible for a low, specialized caseload of offenders who are sentenced under FOSA or have been placed in the community on electronic monitoring as a part of the CPA program. These cases will be determined by DOC staff based on input from DSHS Children's Administration and other stakeholders. Community Parenting Alternative Offender Handbook
CPA transfers can be revoked
DOC hearings officers will conduct an administrative hearing to adjudicate any infraction behavior that occurs while on this alternative. CPA offenders may be returned to prison due to infraction behaviors or be administratively returned to prison due to medical circumstances and/or issues that place the child, community, or program at risk.
For questions, contact:
Please send emails to Susie Leavell, Program Administrator at firstname.lastname@example.com
CCOs contact information can be found on the contacts list for FOSA staff.
This information has been provided as summary information. Please refer to the Washington State Legislature Bill Information website for statutory language of SSB 6639.

Each of the three magnetic faders (crossfader and two channel faders) has a Reverse switch and independent Contour control, which is continously adjustable. Rane emphasizes the fact that the text on the TTM 56S is readable in black light, a key feature if you intend to use this mixer for live performance. The TTM 56S has many of the same specs as the high end 57SL, except that the 57SL has eight inputs in total, can handle XLR connectors, and is equipped with Serato Scratch Live vinyl emulation software.
compact design tucks into a storage compartment or in a crate with the rest of your gear
controls are simple and obvious, no trick to them
heavy-duty construction for years of use without a problem
audio quality is undistorted and has no loss of detail
fader switches have a solid feel, provides a good physical response
easy to adjust the tone of each channel in a wide variety of ways
hard to see it in the dark, need to have a good memory of the controls

When computers were still using large black text oriented screens
or no screens at all, a computer only knew how to store a limited
set of characters. Then it was normal to store a name with the
more complicated characters replaced by more basic characters.
The ASCII standard was used to make communication between
multiple systems (or applications) easier. Storing characters as
ASCII needs little space and is quite strait forward.
Then DOS used CP850 and CP437 and so on to make it …

Walnuts contain a number of potentially neuroprotective compounds like vitamin E, folate, melatonin, several antioxidative polyphenols and significant amounts of n-3 α-linolenic fatty acid. The present study sought to determine the effect of walnuts on verbal and non-verbal reasoning, memory and mood. A total of sixty-four college students were randomly assigned to two treatment sequences in a crossover fashion: walnuts–placebo or placebo–walnuts. Baseline data were collected for non-verbal reasoning, verbal reasoning, memory and mood states. Data were collected again after 8 weeks of intervention. After 6 weeks of washout, the intervention groups followed the diets in reverse order. Data were collected once more at the end of the 8-week intervention period. No significant increases were detected for mood, non-verbal reasoning or memory on the walnut-supplemented diet. However, inferential verbal reasoning increased significantly by 11·2 %, indicating a medium effect size (P = 0·009; d = 0·567). In young, healthy, normal adults, walnuts do not appear to improve memory, mood or non-verbal reasoning abilities. However, walnuts may have the ability to increase inferential reasoning.

Here at SELF, there's no doubt we're big fans of kale—not only is it a highly regarded superfood that many of the staffers here use as their salad base daily, but is also chockfull of benefits that go beyond your belly. Case in point: Beauty brands have caught on to its nutritional benefits, and are using its potent compounds to create powerful, get-pretty products.
Case in point: Nailkale. Announced last month by lacquer brand Nails Inc (who ALSO just inked an oh-so-cool partnership with perennial It Girl Alexa Chung), the yet-to-be-released basecoat is fortified with the vitamins found in the leafy green, namely A, C and E. And while we don't know what those vitamins do for our nails, we're hoping they're just as good for our tips as they are for our bods. Apparently there are four more polishes (this time COLORS!) coming soon that also have "been enhanced with the same kale extract and the brand's Regenerating Complex for colour with conditioning benefits."
Similarly, a new face masque and serum from Eminence Organics (Yup, the same people behind this Greek yogurt-infused miracle cream) are both also made with kale extract. And since research has shown that the veggie can increase collagen production and boost hydration for the skin when eaten, I'm excited to see what they can do when slathered ON the skin—word on the street is that they help brighten and hydrate your mug. I'll report back when I test 'em.
So, are kale beauty products the new green juice? I'll let you decide. Eminence's products are available now; Nailkale will be available at the end of the summer.

Be it ever so Humble
There's no place like home.
This letter box takes me back to where I lived as a kid. Where I learned to swim. Where I learned to ride a bike. Where I started school. So many memories and so many friends. It seems only fitting that I pay tribute to this quaint village with a letter box. I suggest you spend some extra time strolling thru this small cemetery to honor those who have been buried there.
Kingscreek is North East of Urbana, Ohio. From the Urbana Monument Square, go North on Main St. (Rt. 68) for 3.2 miles to Rt. 296. Turn East on 296 and go 1 mile to Kennard Kingscreek Rd. and turn North. The Cemetery is 1/2 mile on the left behind the Baptist Church. As you turn into the Cemetery there is a small parking lot on the right. Park and you can walk from there. The search for my "Humble Home" begins at the flag pole which is at the first intersection.
From the flag pole take a heading of 35 degrees for 30 paces. (One pace is 36 inches) You will find the grave stone for Frank Humble. Maybe he can help you find my "Humble Home". From there take a heading of 75 degrees for 50 paces. There you will find the grave stone for Harold Humble. I'm sure he can help you find my "Humble Home". From there take a heading of 135 degrees for 26 paces. Do you see it? It's at eye level in that tree. Thank you and have a great day.

I really wish there were at least five more hours in one day. After leaving work, finishing homework, doing internship stuff, and eating, I only have a few brief hours devoted to sleep. This leaves absolutely NO time for doing any DIY projects! Especially ones that take a lot of time, like the multicolored twine wrapped wine bottles above! Maybe sometime during Thanksgiving or Christmas I'll have time, but for now, I'll just look from afar…
Everybody likes having their own coffee mug, especially when it's personalized. Sure, you can pick up a decorated one from Target, but where's the fun in that? Hopefully I'll have some time to make this before it gets too cold! All you really need is a plain cup, colored permanent markets, and stickers or cutouts of your initials. However, if you're super particular like I am, then you'll need to find enough time to make it look really neat and clean. While I do like the white mug, I'd rather get a black one and use metallic gold and silver markers. What changes would you make Lovelies?
What to do with leftover wine bottles? Throwing them away seems like such a waste and using string and nail polish remover to make them into cups doesn't seem safe. The clear alternative must be to paint them! While I'm not a huge fan of these designs, I would definitely still do something similar. Perhaps I could paint them in yellow and use them as accent flower vases for my living room? How would your bottles look, Lovelies?
If you know me at all, then you know I'm a huge monogram fanatic. I've got bags, wallets, even a couple articles of clothing with monograms on them. What I don't have is something super cute for my room. In all honesty, I have no idea how I would even go about doing this, but I'm gonna figure it out someday!
Inexpensive shoes, glitter, and DIY: what else could you ask for? I love projects like this because they're not too difficult and don't require you to spend a ton of money on something you're not going to wear everyday. My only problem is that I would have to stare at these shoes for at least twenty minutes every time I added glitter.
I am a lover of all things Lilly. So, when I saw this bulletin board somebody made using old agenda book pages, I got really excited! Then, I calculated how long it would take to do all this and it quickly calmed me down. Fortunately, I purchased a new Lilly planner this year so once we bring in the new year, I'm putting all of my old pages to good use!
What DIY projects do you wish you had time for, Lovelies?

NOTHING - Guilty Of EverythingPhiladelphia's NOTHING, formed in 2011 by Domenic Palermo, have been destroying the eardrums of audiences throughout North America for the past 2 years with a magnetic blend of captivatingly dark and beautiful vocals and explosive, blown out, in the red guitar fuzz. The band formed after Palermo, who was previously the brains behind the early 2000's hardcore/punk act Horror Show, returned from a lengthy musical hiatus that included a prison sentence and released a demo tape titled "Poshlost" under the new moniker.After several attempts at constructing a solid lineup for the band, Palermo met Brandon Setta. Setta would bring a lush, rich soundscape and a fresh approach to Palermo's vision for NOTHING. Setta and Palermo would handle the writing for the next release: the very rare 12" EP "Suns and Lovers" (a play off of the D.H. Lawrence book) that was released on Japanese boutique label Big Love Records. It was limited to 300 copies and the bands' share was donated back to the label for a Tsunami Relief Charity. Next, the band released a 5 song EP titled "Downward Years To Come" which was recorded at the Rubber Tracks Studio in Brooklyn with Kyle "Slick" Johnson and released by Baltimore Label A389 Records in November 2012. The EP is a dedication to several different poets who took their own lives. Setta and Palermo would again head into the studio, this time with Jeff Zeigler at Uniform Recordings, to work on their first LP and sign with Relapse Records.On their debut full length "Guilty Of Everything", recorded and produced by Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, War On Drugs, etc), NOTHING seamlessly merge the huge distorted guitar sound of 90s/00s alternative rock giants My Bloody Valentine and Smashing Pumpkins with Jesu's introspective post-metal/hardcore. This is a triumph of a debut that successfully manages to be massively loud, darkly introspective and totally beautiful all at once.

The Warriors have an interesting decision to make on 2013 first-round pick Nemanja Nedovic, who did not exactly inspire gushing reviews through the team's Las Vegas Summer League run, which just ended yesterday. It's certainly not a Kevin Love/Klay Thompson level decision; just one of those interesting roster/payroll decisions teams face every year. -The decision: The Warriors have until Oct. 31 to decide whether to exercise Nedovic's $1.15M third-year option for 2015-'16 (not for this season, but NEXT season), a paperwork deadline that only becomes tricky when the guy you drafted hasn't looked very good for his first 13 months as an NBA player. -The Warriors made this call on 2006 first-round pick Patrick O'Bryant in October 2007 after his lost rookie year; he served out his limbo '07-08 season with the GSWs, became an unrestricted free agent in July 2008, signed with Boston that summer and was out of the league by April 2010. I don't know what the Warriors will do with Nedovic's option, and I don't think they've decided. Back in 2013, they paid $1.6M to buy into the first round (and then got $1M of it back by trading down to select Nedovic), so they've already got some sunk cost here, even if Nedovic is a sketchy NBA value at this point. But if the Warriors want to create a little more financial maneuverability next summer (remember, they've already committed $56.
The post The Warriors have a decision to make on 2013 first-rounder Nemanja Nedovic, and yes, Aaron Craft could be a part of the call appeared first on Talking Points.

Rajesh Gandhi , the 51-year-old MD of Vadilal Industries, says that ice-cream has broken psychological barrier and is no longer considered a luxury product. Rural India will soon indulge and chart the next growth phase for the industry, he hopes. In an interview with Shramana Ganguly Mehta , Gandhi says "ice-cream flows in his blood" and all he is concerned about is the reach. Excerpts:

Help! My Rabbit Won't Eat Hay
What To Do When Your Rabbit Won't Eat Hay
Being as we all know how vitally important it is for our rabbits to eat plenty of hay, what on earth is happening if you're faced with the dilemma of "my rabbit won't eat hay?"
Every book, website, vet and responsible rabbit owner knows that to remain in good health – in fact, to remain alive, that rabbits must eat plenty of fiber on a daily basis. And everyone agrees that hay is the very best source of this crucial fiber.
So what do you do if you get a new rabbit that won't eat hay, or your rabbit suddenly seems to go off his hay?
Well – the first thing to do is not to panic. And let's take a look at some of the possible reasons why your rabbit suddenly won't eat hay.
He (or she) is ill. If you consider this to be a possibility, then you need to seek veterinary assistance at once.
He's had enough hay. Being as we should provide our bunnies with free-fed hay, then you don't actually want him to finish it all up. What you actually want is for him to have plenty, so there's more for him to go back to when he fancies another little nibble.
He simply doesn't like it – or, more realistically, doesn't like the hay he's being given.
Now – the last point is, in all truth, probably the answer to your question – "help, my rabbit won't eat hay."
And why is this? Well, it boils down to one crazy reason. And that is, that the hay that's available to purchase in stores for rabbits is, in general, simply not of good quality.
Okay, this might sound a little harsh, but in virtually all cases it's the truth. You see, hay is a fragile product. It's just dried grass. And, like all dried plants, if you treat it roughly, package it poorly and ship it from pillar to post before it reaches its final destination – your rabbit's cage – then it makes sense that the end product is going to be nothing like Mother Nature originally intended.
Only when you think of it in this manner can you start to understand one of the strongest reasons why a rabbit won't eat hay – or won't eat as much hay as he should be.
And the answer is…… to feed him genuinely fresh hay
Fresh hay is something our bunnies adore. When you manage to get your hands on a truly fresh supply of hay, then the difference in how your rabbits attack it is immediate to see. They honestly do munch in with a gusto – something that's a joy to watch, and of course, a joy for your bunnies to eat.
But, we do have to admit, finding a regular and good source of truly fresh hay – and that means hay that doesn't come wrapped in plastic, such as you get in the pet stores – is certainly a challenge.
And many of us have no choice but to buy pet store hay. After all, it's not as if there's a "rabbit hay shop" in shopping malls…. But one thing you can do is to give the hay you do buy a sniff test. Go on, get your nose in there and inhale. Hay should smell slightly sweet, with no hint of dust. It should be greenish in color, pliable and have long, tough stalks. If it's yellow, dusty or with no scent, then it might be time to spend your hard earned pennies elsewhere.
All we can do is the best for our bunnies. So if your rabbit won't eat hay, and you're sure that it's not a health related issue, then perhaps it's time to consider changing your hay supplier.
Till next time – love those bunnies…
Oh! And I almost forgot… We'd love it if you'd help us in our mission to make the nation's small pets the best kept in the world. If you've enjoyed this blog then it'd be awesome if you could share it on Twitter or Facebook. And if you fancy leaving a comment then we'd love to hear from you.
And if it's your first time here then be sure to sign up below for your email updates. We have so much exciting stuff planned, and by signing up you'll be sure not to miss out.
