'All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten' in photos
By Matthew T. Hall | 10:30 a.m. June 13, 2014
It's that bittersweet time of year again — graduation time — so here's a new take on the old Robert Fulghum poem, "All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten," for all you graduates and your parents.
But mostly for the parents.
Oh, The Places You'll Go!Share everything.
Play fair.

I couldn't open psd template files. Besides a donate sing won't let you upload images.
Can you explain your issues a little more?
What he means is, the Donate box stretches across the entire screen, hiding a couple of options in the plugin. Just a CSS issue, but reduces usability a lot.
BTW, thanks for clearing up the SVN corruption issue, and thanks for the great plugin! :)
Can you let me know what browser you are using? Thanks.
And new psd files were uploaded so that should be fixed.
The Donate bar is loading across the whole screen in the settings area in both ie8 and Chrome.
The plugin is also not working.
Are you requiring a Donation for use of this plugin now? As that is what it seems to look like. Which I am ok with if the plug is going to work again.
Gotta love it when a missing bracket is the cause of the troubles.
I have updated the plugin and fixed the ever expanding donate box problem.
It was not my intent to require donattion - but I did receive more donations in a few days than I've received in the last couple of years :)

Some time ago we reported on a new hack discovered by an iOS hacker David Schuetz that let us put our own apps on Apple TV. By enabling an Apple TV OS feature called Add Site, Schuetz was able to add a custom site pointing at a Raspberry Pi media server which he added to the Apple TV. The hack quickly got closed as Apple disabled the Add Site feature. In a new post Schuetz explains what exactly happened and speculates on the future of his hack.
You've been able to enjoy Plex on your Apple (even on non-jailbroken Apple TV 3) for quite some time already, but if you also want to have access to your entire Plex library from your iPhone or iPad, now it's a good moment to get Plex for iOS as the app is 60% off for the limited time ($4.99 -> $1.99).
Rumors on the Apple TV 4 has been pouring in from all ends of the virtual net, lately. The baseline speculations hit a spike couple of weeks back when iLounge learned from a reliable source that the next Apple TV will support native gaming. It was reported to come with a revamped iOS-based firmware and an build-in Apple TV App Store. We were also told that a Bluetooth controller is in the works and predicted Apple TV 4 to be in shelves as early as March.

Milano Unica, the Italian Textile Tradeshow which takes place twice a year in Milan (February S/S, September F/W), unites prestigious Italian Fairs that have presented the finest in Italian and European fabrics around the world for the past 30 years. Milano Unica gave rise to another successful tradeshow, Milano Unica Shanghai, that has just successfully concluded its 9th edition.
Milano Unica China is the leading TradeShow for top-end fabrics in China.
Since its debut in March 2012, the event has become a must for clients of the mid-upper/top market range. Top Level visitors are on average 4.000
The Italian textile industry is one of the foremost players in the Far Eastern market, which continues to open its doors to Western luxury fashion, both by the sales of Made in Italy finished products made with the national fabrics-accessories and top-end semifinished goods, needed for the development of Chinese fashion.
In fact, both European and American products are still considered genuine "symbolic symbols" of fashion by the Chinese. In this match, we find Italian textiles which play an important role in the quality of finished products for every country, essential for the creation of local top-end fashion.
In addition, demand is on the rise for quality women's wear and leisurewear, which can all be found at Milano Unica. Increasing interest in men's products, both modern, informal and classic, has also been confirmed at the various editions.
Organized by Milano Unica with the support of the Ministry of Economic Development, in collaboration with Ice Agency, foreign trade and promotion bureau, and Sistema Moda Italia. Special partners Banca Sella and Woolmark.

Azawad: Why Is It That…
Azawad: Why Is It That…
By Gerald A. Honigman
— ekurd.net
May 2, 2012
In the Middle East and its environs, for most of the
world, if you're a native but non-Arab people who
actually pre-date the Arab imperialist conquest and
colonization of your land by millennia, you deserve
not only no political rights but no basic human ones
as well? And while your cause is routinely ignored
by the "progressive," self-proclaimed enlightened
powers that be, that of your Arab oppressors is
unabashedly proclaimed loud and clear in academia,
the mainstream media, halls of government, and so
The newest, non-perfect nation struggling to be born
is in North Africa…even newer than the still fragile
Republic of South Sudan in the same general
vicinity. In the latter, black Africans were
slaughtered, enslaved, and so forth by the millions
by the Arab and Arabized north and at long last
gained a tenuous freedom in July 2011. The blood
keeps spilling, however…not to mention Sudan's other
genocidal problems with Darfur and the Nuba.
On April 6th of this year, a coalition dominated by
the Touareg (the people--not the Volkswagon SUV
named for their strength and adaptability), a
so-called "Berber" people of North Africa--took
control of Timbuktu and other major towns and
declared independence for Azawad in the northern
part of Mali, a huge area double the size of
California. Oh yes, like South Sudan's Abyei border
area, it too has oil….
Like many other scores of millions of native,
pre-Arab conquest Imazighen/ Berber peoples
("Berber" is actually a pejorative term imposed upon
them by invaders), the Touareg were left at the
mercy of others, largely due to the machinations of
French colonial rulers after World War II. Recall
that Africa, as a whole, had borders for its future
states arbitrarily created by Europeans in the late
19th century (with no native African input) for the
sake of their own interests.
As some forty million other Kabyle and Amazigh
people were deemed non-deserving of independence in
the new age of nationalism erupting in the region,
the fate of the native Touareg was likewise tied to
others' aspirations.
With Arabs in control of much of the region's oil
deposits, a decision had been made to not ruffle
their feathers as much as possible. So, as scores of
millions of Kurds (and the oil of their own region)
were sacrificed earlier on behalf of Arab
aspirations; likewise done to black Africans in the
Sudan and elsewhere; most of the Mandate of
Palestine turned over to Arab nationalism as of
1922; and so forth, it should also come as no
surprise that the various Amazigh peoples would
suffer a similar fate. This favorite, important
quote speaks volumes on this subject…
In Algeria, Berbers were forbidden to use their own
language, Tamazight...riots erupted, reported in
France but ignored elsewhere in the West...America,
of course, had been sufficiently subject to ARAMCO
(the Arabian American Oil Company) propaganda, a
payoff to the Saudis by Big Oil, to allow the latter
to produce and market Arab oil. So, ARAMCO's message
to America was that there is just an Arab world in
this region in which there are no Copts, Armenians,
Assyrians, Chaldeans, Turkmen...and, of course, no
Berbers and no Jews--they all came to Israel, you
see, from Europe for everyone in this region is just
Arab (New English Review, January 17, 2008)."
Thus, at the same time that American State
Department spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, was
chastising Israelis for allowing Judeans--Jews-- to
once again live on millennial Jewish soil in Judea
and Samaria (aka, the "West Bank"--this time in the
towns of Recehlim, Bruchin and Sansana--on
non-apportioned state, not private Arab,
lands--where all residents of the original Mandate
were/are allowed to live), not a word was uttered
about the rights of scores of millions of a truly
stateless people in the region. There will be no
support from the State Department for the first,
long overdue, Amazigh state. The Foggy Folks opposed
President Truman on the rebirth of Israel for
largely the same reasons.
Indeed, there has been nothing but hostility towards
the Touareg since their move to independence.
Besides threats coming from the black Africans in
the south of Mali from whom they broke away, the
French and the European Union are upset as well.
Having long been neglected and mistreated, when the
Touareg dared to ask for the same independence that
black Africans and Arabs in the region were at long
last achieving, over a half century ago the French
denied them this right and forced them to be tied to
the south instead. This is the same treatment some
forty million other Amazigh people received courtesy
of the French throughout the rest of North Africa…in
Algeria, Morocco, and so forth.
Recent reports coming out of the area are
On the one hand, it appears that the National
Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA),
bolstered by arms arriving from Qaddafi's Libya
(which employed some Touareg fighters), still has
control of the situation in the north.
On the other hand, there seems to be an attempt to
undermine any potential support for the MLNA by
others claiming that Islamists tied to Al-Qaida are
really now running the show.
Regardless, there is no doubt that an independent
"Berber" state of Azawad sends jitters up many other
folks' spines--both outside and inside the
region--for a number of reasons.
For players like the French, it upsets and
destabilizes their neocolonialist schemes for still
pulling the strings in their former colonies.
For Arabs in neighboring North African states, it
establishes a real nightmarish precedent…
With France's cooperation, the Arabs of the Maghreb
were able to proclaim the entire area as solely part
of their own alleged greater "purely Arab
patrimony." To this end, scores of millions of
native, pre-Arab/non-Arab people (both in North
Africa and beyond) had their very cultures and
languages periodically outlawed to speed up the
forced integration, pacification, and Arabization
If you have not seen her work yet, Anna
Mahjar-Barducci is an interesting and careful
Moroccan-Italian journalist. An Amazigh friend,
whose comments grace the jacket cover of my own book
(http://q4j-middle-east.com), alerted me to her
recent account of this situation in the
Israeli-newspaper, Haaretz http://www.haaretz.com/print-e.....t-1.426801
Here's some extensive excerpts from her analysis…
Now that Azawad has become a reality, it is clear
that North Africa can no longer (simply) be "Al-Arabi,"
as it now includes a state that is geographically
and culturally part of the Maghreb but declares
itself Berber. That is a situation that is
unacceptable to Arab countries.
Azawad's independence provokes additional fears.
Neighboring countries are actually alarmed that the
new state could inspire a "Berber spring" across
North Africa, with other Imazighen asking for equal
rights and/or independence…
Arab governments are hence joining forces with Mali
to fight the MNLA and to "wipe" Berber Awazad "off
the map." One of the main means for doing this is by
spread of disinformation.
When the independence of Azawad was declared, some
international media outlets reported that the MNLA
was an Islamist group that had relations with Al-Qaida
in the Islamic Maghreb. This baseless rumor was soon
debunked. The MNLA is actually a secular movement
with no religious agenda.
Next, the disinformation machine spread a rumor that
the MNLA had lost control of all of Azawad, and Al-Qaida,
jihadists and Salafists had taken over the region…
About the same time, the French magazine Jeune
Afrique published an interview with the leader of
Ansar Dine, Iyad Ag Ghaly, who denied that his
movement was in Gao. He also specified that he is
not interested in independence for Azawad, as he
recognizes only Mali and Sharia law. The same
disinformation was at work elsewhere, as well…
There is…a serious risk of destabilization if Azawad
isn't officially recognized, and soon. All the
neighboring countries have an interest in seeing
Azawad descend into chaos, so that the international
community will support reunification with Mali.
Azawad and the MNLA will hence be left to fight
jihadist groups on their own, when what they need is
the help of neighboring countries.
In the meantime, Mali, which is now ruled by a
transitional president after a coup in Banako, the
capital, has threatened "total war" against the MNLA.
Mali, which systematically repressed the Tuareg and
other Azawadi minorities, is now indiscriminately
arresting and killing "red-skinned" Berbers within
its reduced borders. France, the old colonial power,
is forcefully opposing Azawadi independence and
calling for a "compromise": autonomy for the region.
Autonomy, though, is not the solution, as it would
not guarantee an equal division of the area's
resources, which include oil and access to budgets
that would allow it to fight droughts. France and
the international community would do better to
support the struggle for self-determination of the
Azawadi people as they have done for other nations.
Only independence will ensure stability.
Whenever the dust finally settles, however, one
thing will remain certain…
The so-called "Arab Spring" must work to usher in a
new age for other peoples too. I addressed this
quite some time ago in Berber Autumn (http://kabylia.wordpress.com/2.....er-autumn/).
And that Arab Spring is not looking too well these
For justice to truly come to this volatile region of
the world, the injustices of the past will have to
finally be addressed.
And justice in the realm of man--as I often point
out--must be viewed in relative, not absolute,
The same French and European Union, so quick to
condemn the non-Arab Berber Touaregs' quest for a
slice of the justice pie, are also the same folks
demanding the birth of a 22nd Arab state whose idea
of "peace" with Israel is getting the latter to
commit suicide. Some forty million subjugated,
stateless Amazigh people are thus still deemed
unworthy of the same rights Europe and others have
no trouble granting to their tormentors.
While Arabs, basking in their own imperialist
Caliphal past, may still have delusions that via
centuries of forced Arabization, there really is no
one else in "their" region with legitimate claims
but themselves, in an age in which other people are
still struggling for basic human--let alone
political--rights, such an abusive, oppressive,
self-centered mindset must not be allowed to
continuously prevail.
Despite its imperfections (what nascent country--or
long-standing one for that matter--does not have
them?), the quest for long-overdue justice by this
new Touareg nation of Azawad must be supported.
Addressing any real concerns regarding such things
as Islamist influence should be part of this
support--not used as an excuse to squash the hopes
for freedom and independence of this first Amazigh/Berber
The militant Islamist nature of Hamas, Hizbullah,
and others does not prevent the world from demanding
the creation of yet another Arab nation. That factor
should certainly play no role in determining the
fate of scores of millions of predominantly Muslim,
but anti-Islamist Amazigh people as well.

I'm relatively new to WordPress & php and am trying to create a custom blog template within our WP site...
Here's the URL to what we have right now: http://www.buildingtomorrow.org/blog&cat=6
Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. Modify the Archive navigation on the left so that it has subcategories listing months with posts. e.g.
- 2010
- August (1)
- July (3)
2. Write some sort of code so that, when you click on one of the navigation links, it modifies the query_posts expression & displays only certain posts (e.g. posts with category=6 and/or in August 2010)
I've started to write basic code that pulls a value from the end of the URL...so how can I populate the value(s) @ the end of the URL based on which link someone clicks on the nav bar?
3. Allow for comments to be made on individual posts - currently the comments link under each post links to the single post page and I'm not sure how to fix it.
Any ideas or help out there? Would REALLY appreciate some direction.

This video was shot at the Blue Planet factory in November 2013 showing the construction process of the 2014 Blue Planet Softtop boards. The softtop boards are designed to be easy to use, lightweight and durable. The PC bottom sheet make the bottom very scratch and ding resistant, much like the bottom sheet on a snowboard. The deck and rails are wrapped with high density EVA foam which makes it safe and resilient.

The boards come with tie down deck plugs, gopro mount on nose, self venting gore vent plug, and the new SUP Grip handle which makes lifting, carrying and locking the board easier than ever. The first part of the construction process is very similar to our veneer boards, check out the veneer board construction video on the construction page to see how the inside of the board is made:

This year's Wet Feet/ Blue Planet WPA race was held on the south shore from Hawaii Kai to Kaimana. It was the first downwind paddleboard race of the season and we are looking forward to many good races this summer. Thanks to all the participants and we hope to see you for the Wet Feet/ Blue Planet WPA Regional Championships, scheduled for September 15th.
Here is a short race recap by Jeff Chang:
Conditions were good and times were fast. The heavy hitters were out today and the battle for first was tight and it came down to the wire with Scott Gamble getting the edge on Kaeo Abbey at the last mark before the finish by getting the most out of a small wave. The winning time was 1:09 beach to beach! On the women's side favorite Morgan Hoesterey led the whole way and bested the field on a 14. Thanks to all those who came out to support and participate today and especially to the volunteers.

We are partnering with the Nalu Storage board lockers in Waikiki that allows you to own and store your board steps from the beach without hassles. If you rent a storage space from Nalu Storage and buy a SUP or surfboard from our shop, we will deliver it and put it on the rack for you at no extra charge, plus Nalu Storage will give you two months free storage if you mention that you bought your board from Blue Planet! For hassle free SUP ownership, follow these simple steps:
1) Go to http://nalustorage.com and reserve a locker, you can do this online. Make a note of the locker number.
2) Come to our shop and purchase a new SUP or surfboard, check this website for available models or pricing or come into the shop and we will help you find the best board for your needs and get it all set up for you. If you are not sure what to get, we offer a try before you buy demo program and free SUP clinics/ demos.
3) Provide us with the storage locker number and two padlocks (or order a combination padlock from Nalu Storage) and we will deliver the board and set it up on the storage rack for you at no extra charge, it will be waiting for you whenever you want to use it. Validated parking is available at the Royal Hawaiian Center, see Nalu Storage website for details.
4) That's it, time to enjoy the ocean.

We can provide the same delivery and pickup service for rental boards but charge a fee of $20 each way (flat fee regardless of number of boards rented).

A Year Ago
February 12, 2016
One year ago today, my crowd funding campaign to make a new record closed with well over the amount I needed to make it happen, all thanks to you! The where's and how's changed quite a bit from point A to point B, and things are ever changing still, but the record is nearly done! I just went into the studio today actually with fresh ears to hear all that we did back in August. I am very pleased with the album. We're still working out the kinks and getting a few last minute sessions in, but I expect that it will be finished and ready sometime this summer! I know I said last time that in my next post I would have an official release date and album art to show you, but this ain't that post. Sorry! For now, I'll just go ahead and give you this. Here is the final list of all 14 tracks that will feature on "Carousel" (track-order still to be determined):
– Big Deal Blues
– Junkyard Baby
– Diesel Moon, Marlboro Sun
– Theresa Full of Light
– Well Enough
– Jennings, LA
– For The Love of Sarah Pine
– Holiday
– Misery Maid
– No Word From Henry
– Carousel
– Centralia, PA
– The Slaying of J.S.J.
– The Outlaw & The Rambler
January 27, 2016
Hello friends. it's been about five months since we wrapped recording on "Carousel". Much has changed and is changing in my personal life since then. It's hard to believe that at this time last year, I was only a month into my crowd funding campaign. I'm back in Baton Rouge now where the project is still in post-production. That's where all the fine tuning happens. I am hopeful that coming home will help get the record out a little quicker, although honestly I've really felt comfortable with our pace so far. Thank you for your patience. In my next post I'll have an official release date for the record, and hopefully some cover art to show you. Stay tuned!
September 11, 2015
Well ladies and gents, We've made a record! A few weeks ago, in Baton Rouge, LA at The Legendary Noise Floor, I wrapped up vocal and guitar tracking on all 14 songs of "Carousel", which I hope to have ready for you sometime around the first quarter of 2016. If you've followed the development of this project, or if you've contributed to the budget through my Indiegogo campaign, you will know that the journey to making this record has gone by way of the valley for some time. I'll not rehash the storyline, there's several recording updates from blog posts past that you can familiarize yourself with if'n you wish. What's most important to know at this point is that we have pushed through the wall and are dancing on the other side! I am so happy with the results of this record and I couldn't be more proud of the work that was put into it. I'd like to do a little name dropping at this time if you please…
My producer was John Tulley, and my assistant engineer was Zachary Graeser. I spent more than a week in very tight quarters with these two gentlemen and never once did they drop off or loose interest in me or this project. In fact, they leaned ever further in as we went along and invested more time and energy than they probably could afford to on only a few hours sleep and after one of them (Zach) actually fell ill. I am so grateful for these dudes. John took to the vision and scope of this record right away and was very patient with me in the process. Mr. Tulley is a gentle soul and a brilliant mind, and I'm glad to have had his influence over these tunes.
Contributing their musical talents to this record, was a troupe of local artists and musicians from the Baton Rouge area that I grew up listening to and playing with over the years. There was one who gave a lot of creative direction to the project, and that was my bud Clay Parker. I honestly couldn't have accomplished this without him. Joining Clay were guitarist Ryan Harris, pedlin' steeler Paul Buller, accordion and keys player Ben Herrington, Drummer Micah Blouin, Bassist Robert Kling, fiddle and mandolin player Joel Paul Wilson, precussionist Melissa Wilson, and vocalist Jodi James. These are some of the finest at what they do and I promise you're not soon to find anyone better. Thanks for making me sound pretty y'all.
We also spent three nights locked up over at Presonus Studios in Baton Rouge to track Drums and Bass, which was awesome! Presonus has an impressive studio space, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking to make a record. We had a great time with Eric Welch who was our in house engineer over there. Eric is a great dude, and I'm so glad I got to know him. He, along with everyone in the room at the time did a great job of helping me calm down after we thought we had lost our best take of the song "Jennings, LA" when the hard drive crashed. We were all a little bit heartbroken because it was our last night there, and we felt so good about that take! I really let it get to me. I just couldn't stop thinking about it. John Tulley lost a lot of sleep that night trying to recover files, and by the next morning to our great surprise John was able to retrieve the song! That was a great day. It made me glad to be surrounded by folks who lose hope a whole lot slower than I do.
After a week and two days, we turned out something I am immensely proud of and can't wait to share it with you, my family, and friends!
Thank you to everyone who helped bring this thing to life! You are AMAZING!!!!
Stay tuned! ….

A Love Letter To Highpoint Church
September 3, 2015
When Aimee and I left Baton Rouge, LA for Memphis, TN on April 1, 2012 we were little more than a month away from meeting our baby girl Iley Harper who on the 4th of May introduced us to parenthood for the first time. We were staying at my in-laws then, so we actually became parents in Memphis before we became residents. Memphis was quite an unfamiliar place to become such unfamiliar people. Six months after Iley came along, we moved into our first home together as a family, but not before discovering Highpoint Church.
When Iley was born, I was working at a large format sign company. One day a work order landed on my desk to print a massive billboard banner that was nothing more than a black and white photo of what looked like favelas – those clusters of substandard apartments in the slum towns of Brazil. Across the picture was a graphic with the words "Love Works". This spoke to me about the mission, the community, and the heart of Highpoint Church. It intrigued me. I saw in that one banner a community that could imagine some of the most desperate places of human depravity, and still see the hope and love of Christ – That unexpected LOVE that works where all expectations of love have failed. Aimee and I had just talked about looking for churches anyway, and I thought why not let this be our first stop. It would be our last. On my first Sunday visit, I texted Aimee who stayed back with our newborn "we are home". Highpoint describes themselves as a "perfect place, for imperfect people". In our time there, I came to know the truth at either end of that statement, that indeed Highpoint Church was and remains for me and my family, a perfect place.😉
In our three years in Memphis, we barely had time to become true Memphians. We weren't even good tourists. My Drivers License still says "Louisiana". I didn't get pulled over much, thankfully. I never had time to become a Grizzlies fan. (Geaux Pelicans!), I never visited Graceland, The Stax Museum, The Loraine Motel, and I never spent more than a day or two in the downtown or midtown parts of the city. The only Memphis we knew was Highpoint Church, but for a time it was all the Memphis we needed. We witnessed life change on a weekly basis at Highpoint, and we saw our lives changing as well. Our children (we have two now, Iley & Ezra) benefited from one of the finest kids ministry programs I've ever witnessed. The commitment and determination in the work of the staff and volunteers in the Highpoint Kids family is just awesome! I will never forget Krystal Durfee and all the beautiful people who greeted us at our kids classes every Sunday.
I also got to enjoy being a volunteer on the praise team at Highpoint under the leadership of Josh Maze. Josh is true leader and dear friend, and I am very thankful to him for investing in me and for all the leaders on the creative team at Highpoint! (Love you Tyler, Joe, Carolyn, Andrew, David, Wes, Chad, Candace, Laramie, Joel, Bill, Byron and the whole lot of ya! You guys ROCK!)
What I know I will miss most about Highpoint Church is the teaching of our pastors, and the testimonial ministry of baptism, or "Going Public". Andy Savage and Chris Conlee are firmly committed to teaching the Word of God and introducing the lost to the God of the Word. The compassion, honesty, and sincerity of their teaching is something that you just know comes out of a deep almost burdensome longing to preach Truth. The responsibility they carry for the staff and partners of the church is palpable and man do they ever deliver on their commitment. With integrity, transparency, honor, humility, and excellence every leader on staff at Highpoint, though ever so short of perfect, is certainly of the highest possible quality. I am grateful to them all.
In these last few years I have been blessed to have several men of faith from Highpoint come alongside me to encourage, instruct, and pray with me through difficult times. I cant thank any of them enough for their kindness to me and the benefits of their counsel. Not the least of these men of faith was our pastor Chris Conlee who from the moment that I met him never ceased to remind me of the divine potential within me, and that I should never settle for less than God's best. Under Pastor Conlee's teaching in April of 2013 I began what has been a journey of overcoming self hatred and the influence of decietful voices. I am even now still learning to live a life of victory in resistance to the lies of the enemy. After years of looting and plunder, I didn't believe there was much left in me for the enemy to steal or destroy. I'll never forget the restoration that began in me over those few weeks. I still listen to those sermons at hpmemphis.com often, and I'd encourage anyone feeling the opressive weight of past failures, loss, bitterness, demoralizing shame, or lonliness to listen to this sermon series. Click here.
One of the single greatest acts of kindness anyone has shown me was when Pastor Chris took me before the congregation and pointed everyone toward a crowd-funding campaign that would fulfill a dream to record only my second record in over ten years. I couldn't believe, and still can't believe the outpouring of love and support from the partners at Highpoint to help eclipse my campaign goal substantially. I was speechless. I was honored. I was loved.
I love you Highpoint Church, and I will miss you dearly.
…That album is finished by they way! Well, at least in principle. There's still a great deal of post-production work to be done. I completed work on it a few weeks ago in Baton Rouge, LA (look for a new blog entry soon). Not long after our last Sunday and the announcment of our departure, I came down to Louisiana to make good on the commitment to get this record made! I can't wait to make a trip back to Memphis to share it with everyone!
Aimee, Iley, Ezra, and I are now embarking on a new journey with a new faith family in Wilmington, NC. We leave the birthplace of our children and the only Memphis we know, Highpoint Church, to bring the only Love that we know to as many people as we can. As you remember us, Please pray for us, for Reach Community Church and for the people of Leland and Wilmington, NC.
We thank you, we love you, and will miss you! Our prayers are with you and the city of Memphis always.
"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance on you and give you peace"

On April 5 I posted some sad news. Due to changes in management, we lost our chance to record at Sun Studio here in Memphis, TN. (sad face) We regrouped, went through a handful of plan B studio choices/dates, and eventually landed at Dockside Studios in Lafayette, LA. After some scheduling conflicts in July, we decided to shoot for the last weekend of August.
Unfortunately, these last few weeks have presented some unique challenges for our producer Jeff Powell that have made it very difficult to know for sure if he could remain committed to the project. Without being able to make headway fast enough considering the conditions and decisions that Jeff was faced with, and without knowing how that would affect our working relationship in the next few months, I've had to give Jeff leave of the project to let him concentrate on more pressing matters (sad face).
No studio. No producer. To compound the issue, I am now on a deadline. I'm happy to announce that I've accepted a worship leader position at a church in Wilmington, NC. We will be moving mid-September at the latest. Our plans were made before we lost Jeff, and our last scheduled dates for recording were set for the last weekend of August. Our heads are spinning. We have so much going on, so many things to do to get ready for a move, and so little time now to do it.
In the last hour, with the help of my friend John Tulley, I've come up with an new plan. We're moving the project from Dockside Studios about 60 miles east to Baton Rouge, LA. We will be recording in a co-op music and arts space in Downtown Baton Rouge called The Legendary Noise Floor. Recording dates have basically remained the same, however this new option potentially gives us a lot more time to record, which is great.
Now that things are finally moving forward with greater speed, updates should be coming in a lot more frequently. I'm excited and I look forward to all of the good things ahead of us!
Thanks to everyone who stayed on me to keep them in the loop of what's been going on. With all the frustration over planning and re-planning, it's been great to know that folks are really eager to hear this record. I'm thankful for your continued support, and I can't wait to finally make this happen!
Stay tuned!

The Setting SUN …
April 5, 2015
As you all know, nearly two months ago I closed on a fundraising campaign to make my next album and fulfill my dream to record at the legendary Sun Studio here in Memphis, TN. For reasons both logistical and creative, I chose a specific group of people to work with. Without going into too much detail, the decision to record at Sun was greatly influenced by the working relationships I have with certain members of this group. Throughout my campaign, Sun Studio actually became the theme for this project but it wasn't until I knew I had the funds to make the record that I could begin to move scheduling plans along with the studio and my producer. Unfortunately, the timing could not have been worse. Something unforeseen has occurred.
In the last six weeks, the likelihood of making my record at Sun diminished from recording the whole album, to a partial recording, to finally this week learning that the window of opportunity for me to record ANYTHING at Sun Studio is almost definitely closed. After speaking with my producer Jeff Powell, we feel we've done everything we can to keep the "Sun" from setting, but alas THIS record will not be made at Sun Studio.
I am obviously very saddened by this news, and sorry to all of you who trusted the aim and scope of this project to meet it's mark in a very specific way. It was out of my hands. I think it would have been a special experience for all those involved. I remain hopeful that I will get the chance to record at Sun Studio someday soon, but for now it's high time this project find it's feet and we think we've got some pretty amazing places in mind for them to land. One possibility is Dockside Studios way down in my neck of the woods just outside of Lafayette, LA. One of the great advantages of recording at Dockside, other than its beautiful amenities and laid back atmosphere, is the proximity to all my South Louisiana bandmates who won't have too far to travel. Of course, should we decide to keep production here in Memphis we could always set up at the wonderful Ardent Studios or a handful of other great spaces around town. These are just some of our options moving forward. Phone calls are being made, and a decision will come within the month.
I owe it to you to let you know what's happened, and I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to give you this update. I just wanted to be patient and make sure we gave every effort to fulfilling all our original goals. I think we have, and to be honest, I'm happy to just be moving forward, finally.
I can still promise you that this record will be every bit as good as it was always going to be, and I can't wait to get started!

Its a cool clear 4 in the morning here in Memphis, TN. I haven't been able to sleep, I'm so excited! Two hours ago, I watched the last few seconds spill out of the clock on my Indiegogo campaign. It's done! With $8,365 in the bank, I am 167% funded and ready to make this record! It's been an amazing 40 day journey. I am overwhelmed by the love and support you all have shown me. The campaign page right now says that there were only 77 funders, but that is not at all representative of the actual amount of folks who contributed. I wish I could name them all right here and thank you each individually. You just can't know what this means to me, but I hope to express my appreciation soon when I join my bandmates at Sun Studio to crank out an AMAZING record!
The hard part for you is over. All I can ask you to do now is wait patiently while the difficult part for me is just beginning. In the next few months I will be fast at work putting this new budget to good use. I'll first have to consult with my producer and musicians to arrange a set time for recording which is a lot harder than it sounds. Meantime, I'll also be working on your contribution incentives so that everything will be ready in due time. The ball is rolling, and we're about to move it to the edge of a very steep hill. Y'all ready?
There will be a lot more updates to follow in the very near future, I'm sure. Meantime, I've decided to keep the bootleg recordings from my private show in Baton Rouge last December up on my Bandcamp site. This live set features songs that will be on the next record, so enjoy it while you can, and share it with your friends and family! Click here!
February 9, 2015
It's Sunday night, around 11:30PM. In just half an hour, I'll only have one day left in this campaign! I need your help to finish strong. With only $105 until I'm 150% funded, I can't pass on the opportunity to rally for one last goal before we wrap this whole thing up! If you haven't been able to contribute until now or if you just want to pass the word along, please click HERE, or on the photo(s) below!
Confessions of A Crowd-Funder
February 3, 2015
Occasionally we need a little more than we have in order to do the things we are built to do. I'm an artist who makes music. The culture of musical artists maintains that occasionally we make records. The industry of music maintains that making GREAT records will cost lots of money, and that if you're not an artist in the industry you're an artist on your own dime.
After 10 years in waiting to make only my second record, I've partnered with a group called Indiegogo which offers a platform for a service called crowd-funding. It's a simple structure. For a small percentage on the dollar, it allows for folks with creative ideas to launch a fund-raising campaign to raise money via social networks and word-of-mouth. The individual sets a goal and is then given the option of a time-frame, in my case 40 days, to reach that goal before expiration. I started my crowd-funding journey on January 1st. I now have seven days before my campaign expires on Feb. 10.
Asking people for money is awkward, especially on a deadline. We all have some degree of an emotional connection to the money we make or the money we need. If you've been following me on any of my social networks, you know that I've been pretty relentlessly promoting my campaign. Out of desperation, I may have actually been a bit forward or pushy. For that, I sincerely apologize. I've learned unfortunate things about myself and my relationship with others concerning money in the past month, and I'm glad that I was finally entering into the last week of this process over the weekend.
On Sunday morning, however, at Highpoint Church where my family and I attend, my pastor gave a sermon on speaking with edifying words and how the tongue is either an instrument of death or life to those around us. Moved by the Spirit at the close of service that morning, my pastor Chris Conlee called me up in front of the church with him and proceeded to speak words of life into me by making a public acknowledgement of my campaign and not only encouraging me in it, but also encouraging our church family to lend their support to it. It was an overwhelming and at the same time a very uncomfortable experience. While definitely bolstering my confidence and faith and affirming Gods grace and providence over the project, it definitely wasn't something I would have chosen for myself if someone were to ask me if I wanted it. I had to either except it for what it was, a blessing, or stand up there feeling like a big thief. It was hard to say much more than "wow" and "thank you". I came home with my daughter's diaper bag full of cash and checks totaling over $2300. When I told my wife, I think she stopped breathing for a few minutes. By that time I only needed $520 to reach my $5000 goal, which means I was overfunded that day by over $1800!
That's, 141% FUNDED, with still 7 days left to go!
I am so grateful for my church family and ministers at Highpoint, a perfect place for imperfect people like me. A place that extends compassion without compromise. A place where love works. Thank you for blessing me! Click HERE to learn more about Highpoint Church in Memphis, TN. If you live in the Memphis area and are looking for a church, come visit us!!!
I want to thank ALL OF YOU who have contributed and supported me from day one! I love you all very much! We did it!!!
If you had planned on contributing, please don't feel like you've missed your opportunity. My $5000 goal was based on a minimum expectation for cost, so having been overfunded is obviously a boon for me when projecting a final budget, especially when you consider other non-studio expenses I will have (e.g. Paying Indiegogo for hosting my campaign, your incentives, travel & accommodation cost for my musicians traveling from Louisisna). A little extra cash also provides us extended time in studio to record extra takes on songs, or to add more songs onto the record. All that said, as long as there is still an opportunity to contribute, or show your support by sharing my campaign, please do so, and THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Again, many thanks to all of you for your love and continued support. I can't wait to make this record and to have the chance to share it with all of you!

In Rockaway Park, Cleanup Hits Home
Face the shore of Rockaway Park and it's still easy to see why the Queens neighborhood has become popular with families looking for affordable ocean-front homes. But turning away from the beach reveals a neighborhood turned upside down in the wake of superstorm Sandy — a ruined promenade, soaked homes, marooned boats and sand in the streets.
Jimmy McGovern, operations chief with New York City's Sanitation Department, is tasked with clearing what superstorm Sandy left smashed onto the streets of this neighborhood, where he has lived for the last 20 years.
"I can visualize what it used to look like before, it's heartbreaking," he said. "Nobody ever thought it would be like this."
The personal effects that lay strewn among debris are an all too familiar sight for McGovern. A few days after terrorist attacks brought down the World Trade Center Towers in 2001, he was called to help with the clean up and recalls seeing clothes and personal items mixed in with the debris.
Still, he counts his blessings. At his home, water entered his basement, and there were some cracks in the foundation, but there wasn't major damage. Also, McGovern is one of the founders of a local hockey team called the 'Rockaway Rockies.' A few years ago, the team was able to build a rink to practice in, and although water reached the building's fence, it was unharmed during the storm – as if "an angel prevented something from ruining it," he said.

On Tuesday morning on Beach 118 Street, front loading trucks were gathering sand and dumping it into container trucks. They navigated the narrow road and avoided homeowners who were moving garbage from their homes into piles on their front yards. The community will build itself back, says McGovern. "You got great people here, with a great heart." But he admits it's difficult to pick up and cart away the remnants of people's lives, "their livelihood, or memories."
"The irony is that today, the water looks harmless," said McGovern, looking at the glistening ocean while standing atop a mound of sand. "It gives you hope for a better day."

Persistent Air and Ground Surveillance to Counter Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)
What is it?
What has the Army done?
Task Force (TF) Odin was created in Iraq to observe, detect, identify, neutralize, and attack IED networks and currently fields 26 manned and unmanned air platforms dedicated to counter IED surveillance. The TF's success led to the decision to create a similar organization for Afghanistan; the manpower and equipment are now forming for that element.
The Army's Shadow TUAS program provides dedicated, responsive surveillance and targeting support to Brigade Combat Teams and battalions out to a range of 125 kilometers. The MQ-1C Sky Warrior ER/MP UAS fielding began in 2007 to provide long-dwell, day/night, multi-sensor reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition support to maneuver commanders out to 300 kilometers.
Additionally, the Army has fielded five different types of ground MASINT sensors in Afghanistan and Iraq to enhance Soldier situational awareness and cue other RSTA/ISR systems to enemy presence and activity for positive identification and action.
Biometric systems are assisting in efforts to separate the enemy from the population by establishing positive identification of individuals. The Army currently has fielded more than 2,000 biometric automated toolsets and more than 5,000 handheld interagency identification detection equipment devices in Iraq and Afghanistan, in response to Soldier requirements. Together, these systems provide dedicated, downward-focused, and responsive RSTA/ISR capability to combat units.
What continued efforts does Army have planned for the future?
Why is this important to the Army?

PROVIDENCE, R.I. � The R.I. Division of Taxation on Friday approved $2.5 million in historic building tax credits for the Kinsley Building, a five-story office structure in Providence set to be redeveloped within a year.
Noted developer Arnold �Buff� Chace, who redeveloped a string of historic Westminster Street buildings several years ago,� plans to convert the building at 334 Westminster St. into 44 apartments on the upper floors with shops and or restaurants at ground level.
In addition to the state historic tax credits, Chace is seeking a property tax stabilization agreement with the city.��A City Council committee will discuss a proposed 12-year �stabilization agreement for the Kinsley Building later this month.
Chace�s Providence development firm, Cornish Associates, firm purchased the Kinsley in 2013 from Johnson & Wales University for�$1.2 million.
The state tax credits are granted to the same Cornish subsidiary � Downcity Revitalization Fund I LLC � that would be a party to stabilization agreement, according to city and state records.
The tax division posted the Kinsley contract to its website Friday.

South Shore Frolic to bring parade back
The South Shore Frolic Parade will return in 2013, South Shore Frolic organizers announced in a statement released Tuesday.
The two-mile parade, traditionally a highlight of the Bay View festival, did not take place in 2012 for financial reasons. But this year, thanks in part to a leadership gift from We Energies, organizers raised the more than $25,000 necessary to secure permits, pay city fees and stage the parade, according to the statement. »Read Full Article(6)

Scottish novelist Iain Banks has died
When Scottish novelist Iain Banks announced in April that he had an inoperable form of cancer, his large online following responded with affection and dismay.
"There can have been few novelists of recent years who were more aware of what their readers thought of their books; there is a frequent sense in his novels of an author teasing, testing and replying to a readership with which he was pretty familiar," wrote The Guardian's John Mullan in his obituary piece on Banks, who died Sunday at age 59. »Read Full Blog Post

Just Abs
Real Time Love Abs Workout
Hello my Lovies,
Today I have for you a Real Time Abs Workout! I also added a metabolic movement to the workout, so you can add this routine instead of your usual cardio, so you will be doing Abs and Cardio at the same time. This workout is about 15-16 minutes long and I really loved the pace of it. You can either follow me in the video in real time, or you can just watch the first potion of the video where I go over the proper form and beginners variation.read more
Abs + Slimmer Legs & Tighter Booty Workout
Hello my Lovies,
Many of you have asked me what have I been doing to make my legs smaller, and yes I have been working towards that goal – to make my legs smaller. Today's workout I made specifically so you can see what kind of workouts I've been doing lately. In today's routine I focused on Abs, but I've added 1 exercise for the legs and 1 exercise for the booty ( there were a lot of rounds so these 2 exercises were enough ).read more
The Alignment Of Abs Workout
Hello my Lovies,
I am back with a awesome Abs routine. I was thinking that I have so many lower body, upper body and full body routines and not enough of abs and core routines. This routine would be a perfect add on to your either lower body or upper body workout for that day. If you decide to do just an abs routine for a specific day, you would need to add some kind of metabolic movements ( cardio ) after this workout. This routine is actually much longer than it looks, it took me about 15 minutes to finish it. The good news is that it's only 1 round :).read more


text: Home- Academics- University Catalogue- International Relations International Relations (For 2016–2017 academic year) Director Chernoff Advisory Committee Chernoff (Director), Fogarty, Mandle, Rotter, Turner, Wagner For those interested in world affairs, Colgate offers a major program in international relations (IR). Students may also take IR as a minor. Study in the program begins with POSC 232, which is normally taken in the sophomore year. Major Program Nine courses are required for a major, including a research seminar at the 400 level. For all nine courses counted toward the major, a grade of at least C must be achieved. There is a language requirement, see below. Students are strongly encouraged to take all six core courses listed below by the end of the junior year. The seminar must be taken by the first term of the senior year, unless special permission of the IR director is granted in advance. Both majors and minors must take the six core courses. All of these courses must be taken at Colgate. For students seeking a major in international relations and a minor in political science, no courses may be counted toward both. POSC 232, Fundamentals of International Relations (a prerequisite for upper-level courses for IR majors) Core subfields requirement: at least two of the following POSC courses:POSC 349, International Political Economy POSC 353, National Security POSC 357, International Institutions POSC 366, Contemporary American Foreign Policy POSC 374, International Law Economics requirement: the following two courses: ECON 151, Introduction to Economics ECON 249, International Economics (Students who have completed the relevant prerequisites may take ECON 349 in place of ECON 249.) History requirement: one of the following courses:HIST 215, American Foreign Relations, 1776–1917 HIST 216, U.S. Foreign Policy, 1917–present HIST 232, The Crusades HIST 255, The Ottoman Empire, 1300–1924 HIST 259, Introduction to the Modern Middle East HIST 265, War and Violence in East Asia HIST 272, War and Holocaust in Europe HIST 316, The United States in Vietnam, 1945–1975 HIST 335, Spain and Portugal in the Age of Empires HIST 346, Germany and Eastern Europe, 1848–1989 HIST 350, Post-war Europe, 1945 to the Present HIST 353, History of the Modern Balkans HIST 359, Nationalism and Arab Identity in the 20th Century HIST 370, The Mongol Empire HIST 382, Modern Africa HIST 479, Seminar on Problems in the History of U.S. Foreign Policy HIST 482, Seminar on Problems in British History since 1800 HIST 489, Seminar on Problems in Military History Additional courses may be added as they become available in the future. Note that POSC 451 counts as an elective, but does not satisfy the IR seminar requirement. All IR majors are required to take POSC 232, Fundamentals of International Relations. POSC 152, Global Peace and War does not ordinarily count toward the IR major. Students who take POSC 152 before deciding on an IR major must also take POSC 232, but may count POSC 152 as one of the two IR electives with written permission from the IR program director. Students who have AP credit for ECON 151 must take one additional elective course. Students may not count their IR senior seminar toward any other major or minor requirement. Language Requirement For both majors and minors, reading proficiency in a Western European language equal to that attained by completion of two 300-level courses with a grade of at least C. Alternatively, for students interested in a non-Western European language, such as Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, etc., the requirement can be satisfied by completion of four Colgate University courses, or their equivalents, in an approved language with a grade of at least C. To receive credit for courses taken off campus, arrangements must be made in advance with the director of the IR program. Minor Program Minors must fulfill the same requirements as those majoring in IR except for completion of the additional history course and the two other elective courses. The minor requires that students take the six core ECON and POSC courses (items 1, 2, 3, and 5 of the major program, above), including a seminar, and complete the language requirement (see above). A grade of at least C must be achieved in the six courses counted toward the minor. A student may not count toward an IR minor any courses being counted toward a major in political science. Honors A candidate for honors in IR must choose an adviser for an honors paper and fulfill the honors requirements for the department of the faculty adviser. In addition, the honors student must (1) achieve a minimum GPA of 3.50 in the nine IR courses, (2) attain a minimum overall GPA of 3.25, (3) submit a substantial research paper that is judged superior (A– or higher) by two program faculty members. A student whose adviser is a member of the Department of Political Science must enroll in the year-long honors colloquium (POSC 498 and POSC 499) in which each student writes an honors thesis. POSC 498 will be taken in the fall semester, followed by POSC 499 in the spring semester. A grade will be given in both POSC 498 and 499. During the fall semester, students work primarily with their primary adviser. Seniors who anticipate graduating with a GPA eligible for hon-ors should speak with their advisers or the IR director in the semester prior to doing honors. POSC 498 and POSC 499 are to be taken in addition to the nine courses counted toward the IR major. A candidate for high honors in IR must fulfill the following additional requirements: (1) achieve a minimum GPA of 3.75 in IR courses, (2) attain an overall GPA of at least 3.40, (3) gain approval of the paper as superior by a third reader, and (4) pass with distinction an oral examination by the three readers of the submitted paper. As above, the professor supervising the research must give prior approval of the paper. Study Groups Participation in a study group is encouraged but not required. The IR program co-sponsors a study group in Geneva every year or every other year. Typically two non-seminar courses may be counted as IR major electives. In some years a third course may be offered that counts as fulfilling the history requirement. Students who participate in other study groups and who wish to be certain of receiving credit toward the major or the minor must receive prior approval from the IR director. Typically no more than one credit is granted toward the major or minor for work completed on non-IR Colgate study groups. Credit is given only for courses that meet Colgate standards.

Verizon negotiations heat up
As of this writing negotiations are continuing between the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), representing almost 80,000 workers, and telecommunications giant Verizon Communications.
Church worker dispute resolved
Almost two months after five south Texas church workers were fired for unionizing, the ensuing dispute between the United Farm Workers (UFW) union and the Catholic Diocese of Brownsville has been partially resolved.
New landmark honors workers dignity
DETROIT, Mich. – With its gleaming stainless steel arches reaching toward each other 63 feet in the air, a monument to Michigan's working class, the Michigan Labor Legacy Project, was unveiled Aug. 20 in downtown Detroit.
The business of union-busting
Strikebreaking and union-busting has taken many shapes and forms over the years, but the goals haven't changed. While the "profession" started as an obvious, and usually violent, infringement upon workers' rights to organize, it soon metamorphosed into something much more subtle and insidious.
Texas labor fights back
Bloodied but unbowed after a terrible state legislative session, Texas labor is laying plans to continue fighting. At the AFL-CIO convention in Austin July 24-26, over 400 delegates applauded the "Killer-D" state representatives who fled the state in May (and again in late July) to thwart a redistricting power grab by their Republican opponents. They endorsed the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride, a national Cesar Chavez holiday, and dozens of other progressive proposals.
Stop the FTAA, On to Miami!
Thousands will be marching in the streets of Miami, Florida, during the week of Nov. 17-21, protesting the proposed Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA). They will pour into Miami from all over the country and from all over the world. The protesters will be trade unionists, anti-globalization activists, environmentalists, family farmers, religious activists, civil and human rights activists. Thousands will come to Miami to make their voices heard at a meeting of trade ministers from around the Americas.
Steel companies slash retiree benefits
DETROIT – Thirty thousand retired steelworkers from bankrupt National Steel are seeing their worst nightmare become reality after a bankruptcy judge ruled earlier this month that they are no longer eligible for health care coverage.
Ironworkers ring doorbells against recall
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Ironworker Ray Trujillo is on a mission: to reach every union family in California and convince them to vote "no" on the recall of Gov. Gray Davis Oct. 7.
Miamians protest detention of Haitians
The Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride is going to put the unfair treatment of Haitian asylum-seekers on the national agenda, said Winie Cantave, co-director of the Miami-based Unite for Dignity. According to Cantave, hundreds of Haitian refugees, including entire families with small children, have been kept in indefinite detention after being apprehended on Florida's shores.
Cintas workers protest poverty wages
DETROIT – "We want a living wage!" shouted 100 people conducting an informational picket line and rally at the Cintas industrial laundry plant here July 31. The line included workers from the plant, members of United Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees (UNITE) Local 129. The Detroit facility is one of the few organized Cintas facilities in the country.

I know this is a design decision, and has been like this for a long time. This ticket certainly made me ask myself what would be the reason for such a decision. Fortunately the answer is in the docs: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/i18n/localization/#how-to-create-language-files (Locale restrictions box).
I will close the ticket for now. Were a patch like this to be accepted it would need to update the documentation and add tests. Also, it seems to me it needs to deal with updating the LANGUAGES setting somehow because adding the translation path to the path search list isn't enough.
