75Michael Rother
Michael Rother was half of the band Neu!. However, his solo stuff has really blown me away. His minimal use of melody in his songs is so emotive. The hooks are incredibly catchy, I can listen to his stuff over and over again. There's something about his personality that I really like, too. He's really quiet and reserved, almost the anti-rock star. He's a guy that loves making beautiful, interesting music.
74Scott Walker
Scott Engel, a '60s teen idol in The Walker Brothers, couldn't cope with fame, suffered a breakdown, joined a monastery, tried to commit suicide, then reinvented himself in 1967 as a romantic balladeer. His subsequent solo output was reduced to one album a decade, each more void-staringly abstract than the last. Walker's music is some of the most breathtaking ever written, his voice colossal, his songwriting daring.
73Robert Fripp
King Crimson's 'In The Court Of The Crimson King' was the record that made me want to be in a band. It blew my tiny child mind. The man behind the music was Robert Fripp. Fripp felt that music offered "the capacity to re-experience one's innocence" and listening back to 'Zootime', our first seven-inch, I couldn't believe how indebted to King Crimson it sounded.
I listened to Rory Gallagher's records from the age of 12 or 13. It was the glorious guitar playing that first inspired me to really go after the instrument. Not that I had any ambition then, other than just learning how to play. I saw him in Macroom in 1976. I love his early stuff, the pure energy. That was the era of the trio: Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream… and Ireland had Taste.
71Lee Mavers
Now that Syd's gone there is nobody else in UK music surrounded by such enduring mystique as Lee Mavers of The La's. The perennial lost boy of Merseybeat, but he endures because of the quality of those songs he left behind: 'Tears In The Rain'… 'Callin' All'… these 'lost' tunes are as strong as the likes of 'Feelin'' and (almost) 'There She Goes'.
70Gene Clark
He's one of the most underrated writers ever. He was the best writer in The Byrds, but his album 'No Other' is one of the best albums ever made, it should be up there with 'Dark Side Of The Moon'. He got all the best studios, all the best musicians for it. Listen to him singing, listen to his words. I think he's a great songwriter who you can learn off.
69David Berman
When David Berman decided to stop the band I was sad, but then he put out a book of annotated drawings. Everything he does is part of the same landscape that he's been creating throughout his career. It's totally original, and like all the best art I feel his work is a world in itself for me to return to whenever I choose.
68Klaus Nomi
Nomi was so confusing that none of the record shops knew where to put him. In California, he was seen as a death rocker. I'd go in my local record store and see his albums sandwiched between Diamanda Galas, Lydia Lunch and pitbull punks like Christian Death. It didn't matter what he was singing about, he sounded dramatic and fabulous.
"I drive I don't know where I'm driving/I am I don't know what it is to be/You can just find me floating, sometimes/down rivers of t-tears". These were my first moments spent with Jandek, on 'Remain The Same' from 'Graven Image', and by God does it sound like you're in there with him. He lays himself bare but reveals nothing; he is the antimatter of song.
66Captain Beefheart
My first boyfriend had pulled out Captain Beefheart's 'Trout Mask Replica' from his parent's record collection and I knew that this was going to be a lifelong love affair. Then I heard it. It was too much for my 13-year-old mind to comprehend. I wouldn't come across it again for another five years, when it swanned back into my life insisting on a second chance. It was the most exciting music I had ever heard.

The 5 Stupidest Lies Advertisers Expect You to Believe
#2. Using Puns as if They're Truly Clever
Puns are the lowest form of humor -- no debate, no discussion. They're easy and cheap, which is why they're one of the first types of comedy you learn as a child. And for that reason, it's why they're used in pretty much every single cereal ad ever created. Because kids are stupid.
The only time puns are ever funny is if they're so purposefully bad that the use of one is actually making fun of the very idea of puns. Or if you happen to be so incredibly dumb that you're genuinely impressed and think of them as clever plays on words. In which case, just stop reading this article now and enjoy the pretty pictures and videos. Like this one of George Takei, doing an ad for the Milwaukee public transportation system, in which he ends the PSA with, "It's out of this world!"
Get it? Because if he's in space, he's not physically in this world in which you and I currently reside! And it is also a phrase meaning "spectacular," that hasn't been spoken by a normal person outside of a commercial since the 1950s. But advertisers still can't stop themselves from using it because to them, it's still clever and still something that people can relate to.
Halloween is probably the worst time of year for it, though. Every local commercial is some dumbass auto dealership owner stuttering out monotone puns like "ghouls and boys." Or a furniture store with idiots in generic costumes, dancing around while the narrator tells you about their "spooktacular" savings:
If it only lasted through October, I could handle it, but it just keeps going and going. It's not only accepted in the world of marketing, but it's encouraged. Do they really not know? Do they not feel the heat generated by the hatred venting from the head holes of its collective audience when we see that horrible fucking "taste bros" commercial?
#1. Using the Word "Premium" to Describe Pretty Much Anything
The next time you're at the grocery store, keep your eyes open for the word "premium." It won't be hard to find -- it'll be on pretty much everything in the entire store, from condoms to pork chops to fucking dog food. My favorite is when they slap that word on sausage packages.
Via Johnsonville.com
Oh, these must be the really high-end sausages, made from expensive loin roasts.
The thing is, sausage by its very definition is the shittiest scraps of meat left over after the butcher has cut all the good stuff off of the animal. In the U.S., they're typically 30 percent to 50 percent fat. Now, don't get me wrong; I love sausage and cook with it quite often. But I don't bullshit myself into thinking that what I have in the pan is anything more than shredded pig strips that were so nasty that no sane person would buy them unless they were ground up past the point of recognition and reshaped into curved dicks.
But even worse is when they do it to hotdogs. Come on. It's become a full-on cliche to say, "If you knew how hotdogs were made, you'd never eat them again." So how can you possibly take a food with that sort of reputation and claim that it's "made from premium cuts of pork, beef and chicken"? The goddamn things are made from three different animals that are ground into a paste, and ... well, here, just watch this:
Now, that's some premium shit right there, baby. It's literally one step up from pet food. But don't think it's just food that does it. Take a look at the retail versions of Windows 7:
Notice the title of the one on the far left? The cheapest, most bare bones version they're offering? That's right, that's the "premium" version. The very basic, bottom of the barrel version of Windows 7 is called "premium" because the advertising industry has used it so much, they've stripped all meaning from the word until it's become an entry point for all products. It's gotten so bad that when I see it printed on a package, I just automatically put that product on the same quality standards as a bucket of ground up pig dicks.
Don't forget to follow John on his beary awesome Twitter, and his Facebook fan page. They're out of this doggone world! Purrrrfect!

|Trending: Metal Oxo Bonds
Metal oxides are important for scientific and technical applications in a variety of disciplines, including materials science, chemistry, and biology. Highly covalent metal–oxygen multiple bonds (metal oxos) are the building blocks of metal oxides and have a bearing on the oxide's desirable chemical, magnetic, electronic, and thermal properties. The lack of a more sophisticated grasp of bonding in metal oxides constitutes a roadblock to innovation in a wide variety of important emergent technologies, including industrial catalysis, biomimetic transformations, and artificial photosynthesis. To address this problem, a research team from four national laboratories, three Department of Energy synchrotron user facilities, and the University of Washington has applied spectroscopic and computational analyses to a number of metal oxides, quantifying trends in metal oxo bonding for groups of metals across the periodic table.
Metal oxides are key components in both in technological and biological processes that are often governed by careful control over the physical and chemical properties of metal–oxygen bonds. For example, knowledge of the exact nature of highly covalent metal oxo bonds involving heavy metals such as uranium, neptunium, and plutonium is important to efficient remediation of radioactively contaminated sites. Drug metabolism and cholesterol synthesis (by the P450 family of enzymes) and the "splitting" of water (by photosystem II, a light-dependent protein complex) are examples of metal oxide functions found in nature. Techniques that can improve our models of electronic structure for metal–oxygen interactions are important to the development of artificial systems that can mimic the selectivity and efficiency of such systems.
Among approaches explored previously, ligand K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has emerged as an effective method for quantitatively probing electronic structure and orbital mixing in molecules and materials. The presence of covalent mixing is observed as a pre-edge feature in ligand K-edge XAS; it appears only if the vacant metal d orbital contains a significant component of ligand p orbital character. Similar studies of metal–oxygen systems, however, are complicated by experimental barriers at the low energy of the oxygen K-edge (about 530 eV), which magnifies issues associated with surface contamination and self-absorption effects.
These challenges were overcome by applying state-of-the-art soft x-ray techniques in conjunction with hybrid density functional theory (DFT) calculations. To ensure that accurate pre-edge peak intensities were obtained, oxygen K-edge XAS was performed in transmission mode with a scanning transmission x-ray microscope (STXM) and with nonresonant inelastic x-ray scattering (NIXS). The spectroscopic work was performed at the Molecular Environmental Sciences Beamline 11.0.2 (STXM) at the ALS, Beamline 6.2 at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (NIXS), and the LERIX facility at the Advanced Photon Source (NIXS). The samples included highly symmetric metal–oxygen anions (MO4n-) based on metals from Group 6 (M = Cr, Mo, W; n = 2) and Group 7 (M = Mn, Tc, Re; n = 1) of the perodic table; they were chosen because historically they were foundational in the development of valence bond theory. In addition, the radioactive pertechnetate anion (TcO41-) is important to nuclear waste remediation and in radiopharmaceuticals.
Despite being isoelectronic, the anions exhibited unexpected differences in orbital mixing. Moving from Group 6 to 7 or down the triads increases M–O mixing in the e* orbitals, more than doubling from CrO42- to ReO41-. Mixing in the t2* orbitals remains relatively constant within a Group but increases on moving from Group 6 to 7. This research shows that models of metal oxo electronic structure should not rely solely on periodic changes in either d orbital energy or radial extension. On the contrary, orbital composition is influenced by a complex interplay between both factors, leading to changes in the energy and composition of the frontier orbitals even for formally isoelectronic metal oxos.

Kansas City, KS (Sports Network) - Matt Kenseth won his second race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship by surviving Sunday's crash-filled Hollywood Casino 400 at the newly repaved Kansas Speedway.
In a race that featured a track and Sprint Cup Series season-record 14 cautions, mostly for accidents, Kenseth grabbed the lead for good with 49 laps remaining when he was the first off of pit road during a round of stops under caution. Martin Truex Jr. gained ground on Kenseth in the closing laps, but Kenseth held off Truex at the finish by 0.5 seconds.
It was Kenseth's third win in 2012, which will be his last year with Roush Fenway Racing. He is moving over to Joe Gibbs Racing next season.
Paul Menard finished third, while Kasey Kahne, the pole sitter, and Tony Stewart rounded out the top-five. Stewart, the defending series champion, rebounded from an early-race pit-road speeding penalty and then a spin on the backstretch late in the event.
Jimmie Johnson also bounced back in a big way after crashing into the wall at the halfway point in this 400-mile race. Johnson, who won at Kansas one year ago, made multiple pit stops for repairs and then stormed back for a ninth- place finish. Points leader Brad Keselowski finished one spot ahead of him in eighth.
Keselowski's lead over Johnson remains at seven points, as four races remain in the Chase. Denny Hamlin is 20 points out of the lead after finishing 13th, while Kansas-native Clint Bowyer, the winner of last weekend's race at Charlotte, is 25 markers behind following his sixth-place run.

However, despite not liking my own name, I had this obsession with other names that were unique. I think that comes from wanting to write fiction. One of my very favorite things when I come up with a character is their NAME. Coming up with the perfect name has stuck with me for forever.
Which means that now that I am married (and possibly even before) I have thought about what I want to name my future kids. I mean, come up with the wrong name and you could seriously screw up your kid (hello Little Pixie, Spec Wildhorse and Moon Unit). However, I also don't want my kids to have the same name as every other kid in their class (my brother, Ryan, got to deal with that a lot).
Dustin and I discuss names for our future kids quite often. We always say we'll have a son and a daughter (mostly because we both come from 2 sibling families where there is one boy and one girl) so generally we discuss one girl name and one boy name.
We have two chosen. And I just realized that our children are pretty much named after Twilight, which is kind of depressing.
Cullen Wade
My only two hopes are that A) We'll get over one of those names or B) By the time we start having kids Twilight will be some sort of distant memory (I'm sure Stephenie Meyer is hoping for the former).
Or maybe I should stop worrying until I actually decided to start working towards having a kid?
More soon.

Wells Fargo Championship News
Excitement in Store for 2014 Wells Fargo Championship
Those in attendance for the 2013 edition of the Wells Fargo Championship were treated to a thrilling finish when then-22-year-old and relative unknown Derek Ernst secured his first-career PGA Tour victory via a one-hole playoff. Ernst and David Lynn, who had made the jump from the European Tour to the PGA Tour for the year, both finished at -8 to force a deciding playoff round for the third straight year at the tournament. In fact, since the Wells Fargo Championship's debut in 2003, a winner has been decided by playoff on six different occasions. One leading theory usually centers on the notoriously difficult holes 16-18 at the Quail Hollow Club, collectively known as the "Green Mile."
Back for more in 2014, the Wells Fargo Championship will take place from May 1-4 at its usual Charlotte course. While the tournament is expected to feature most of the world's top golfers, current World No. 1, Tiger Woods will likely sit out due to recent back surgery that also sidelined him from the Masters. Woods prevailed at the event once before in 2007, and like all of his fellow winners, has yet to win a second at the Wells Fargo Championship.

on November 4, 2012 - 1:17 AM
Joe Licata had envisioned the scene thousands of times when making imaginary plays for his imaginary team while playing in his backyard in Williamsville. He would throw perfect passes and march the offense down the field. He would lead his team to victory and fall into the arms of his family after the game.
Such is the boyhood fantasy of many, and that's where it ends for most. Careers usually stall long before high school. Only a few have an opportunity to put their dreams into action, as Joe Licata did Saturday after throwing two second-half touchdowns and guiding UB to a dramatic 27-24 victory over Miami.
Licata was jogging off the field at UB Stadium when he spotted his father, Gil, standing behind a railing beyond the corner of the end zone. A day earlier, he made the four-minute drive from his dorm to his home to wish his father a happy birthday and tell him face-to-face that he was a Division I starting quarterback.
Gil was his mentor, his hero, the man behind the boy who became the best passer in Western New York history. Licata pulled off his helmet, revealing the same ear-to-ear smile that for years melted his parents, and hugged his father. His mother and three sisters were a few feet away with arms open wide.
"My family is my biggest supporters, my biggest fans," Licata said. "That's the main reason I chose to stay home, to play in front of them. When I come off the field, win or lose, they're always there for me. It was a great feeling today to be able to hug all of them after a big win."
If there's anything strange about Licata realizing his dream Saturday, it was the redshirt freshman couldn't sleep the previous night. At Williamsville South, his custom on the eve of a game was watching "Remember the Titans" and drifting off. He planned to crash about 10 p.m. Friday but couldn't catch a wink.
He watched the Washington-Cal game past midnight but couldn't recall any details Saturday and wasn't certain which team won (Washington, 21-13). He was in another world, concentrating on Miami. He was reviewing the game plan against the RedHawks and visualizing various plays.
"I was very tired," he said. "Ten o'clock came around, and I wasn't asleep. Eleven o'clock came around, and I wasn't asleep. Midnight came around ... I fell asleep about 12:30. I woke up at 2, 4 and 7 and, finally, at 7:30. I was a little nervous, but I was more excited. I was so excited about today."
Patrick Clarke was mauled by his teammates after winning the game on a 47-yard field goal on the final snap. Devin Campbell set up the kick when he returned a kickoff 47 yards to the Miami 35-yard line with 14 seconds remaining. Running back Branden Oliver gained 199 yards rushing.
All played significant roles Saturday for UB, which has had another rough season under Coach Jeff Quinn. Licata had spent most of the year riding the bench behind junior Alex Zordich, who plays a style suited for a running offense. UB's attack will revolve around Oliver until further notice or it finds a quarterback who can make a difference.
Licata didn't play a perfect game Saturday. He completed 13 of 24 passes for 127 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. He overthrew two receivers that would have beefed up his yardage. He was victimized by a few drops. Overall, despite the pedestrian numbers, he managed the game and didn't make any glaring mistakes.
He has a stronger, more accurate arm than Zordich, which gives UB a missing dimension in its offense. The Bulls are particularly beatable when reduced to one threat, Oliver. Their defense played better Saturday against NFL prospect Zac Dysert playing quarterback for Miami, which was coming off a big win over Ohio.
UB coach Jeff Quinn wasn't sure what he had in Licata until he gave the quarterback an opportunity with Zordich nursing sore ribs. Licata certainly made a case for another start after he threw for two touchdowns in a victory. We'll see what Quinn decides when UB plays Western Michigan next week at home.
"We know what we can expect from Joe," Quinn said. "It's only going to get better."
It was already pretty good.
Licata's first touchdown pass came on a slant that hit Alex Neutz between the 1 and the 9, allowing the receiver to run full speed through an open field. Licata knew Neutz had capable hands from their high school days. Neutz was a senior playing safety for Grand Island when he intercepted Licata, a sophomore at South.
"We had some chemistry before I got here," Licata joked. "He's a great player, and he gets open. He put a little move on [Dayonne Nunley], caught it and took off and scored. I was joking with him that I didn't know he was that fast. It was a great play by him."
Licata threaded a 21-yard pass between two defenders to Fred Lee to give UB a 24-17 lead with 5:36 remaining in the fourth quarter. Miami marched down the field and scored before Campbell's long return on the ensuing kickoff. The win wasn't exactly what Licata had drawn up all those years ago, but it was close enough.
Most important to him, other than the win, was the group behind him. He had about 100 family and friends at the game when all the grandparents, aunts and uncles were added up. They were there to see him earn his first win as a starting Division I quarterback, and they were waiting for him after the game.
Yes, that's why he chose UB. His backyard these days is much bigger, and the stakes are considerably higher. But the joy that comes from winning, with his family in the stands, never changed. In fact, now, it's even better.
"I imagined big wins and coming off the field and hugging my parents and my sisters, and that's what happened today," Licata said. "It was an amazing feeling. I've thought about that a lot. And it was awesome."

It's normal for a toddler to have temper tantrums. But you might be able to reduce the frequency, duration or intensity of your child's tantrums by following these parenting tips:
If your child has a tantrum, remain calm and distract him or her. Ignore minor displays of anger, such as crying — but if your child hits, kicks or screams for a prolonged period, remove him or her from the situation. Hold your child or give him or her time alone to cool down.
Despite your best efforts, at some point your toddler will break the rules. Consider using these parenting tips to encourage your child to cooperate:
If all else fails, tell your child that you are taking a timeout away from him or her for a few minutes — even if it means staying in the same room and simply not responding to your child — because of a specific behavior. Be sure to explain the behavior you'd like to see.
Whatever consequences you choose, be consistent. Make sure that every adult who cares for your child observes the same rules and discipline guidelines. This reduces your child's confusion and need to test you.
Also, be careful to criticize your child's behavior — not your child. Instead of saying, "You're a bad boy," try, "Don't run into the street." Never resort to punishments that emotionally or physically harm your child. Spanking, slapping and screaming at a child do more harm than good.
Children learn how to act by watching their parents. The best way to show your child how to behave is to set a positive example for him or her to follow.

Enabling sub menus in Drupal Gardens
In the latest release of Drupal Gardens we introduced drop down menu styling into our base themes.
In order to take advantage of the latest drop down menu styling, please update your theme if you created it prior to November 4th.
Menus are a standard structural element in Drupal 7. In this post we'll establish how to enable these menus. Follow along with the screenshots.
If you already know how to expand sub menus, you should skip to the post about styling.
Now let's look at the menus in Drupal 7. Follow along with the screenshots in Drupal Gardens.
Drupal has 4 system menus by default.
Make a menu with existing content items
In this example, let's create a page called Whitepapers and add it as a top level navigation item.
Add some content (I use lipsum.com)
And then scroll to the bottom of the overlay where the options for the content item are found.
As indicated in the image above:
- Select the Menu settings tab. It probably is selected already.
- Check the Provide a menu link box.
- Leave the Parent item select box set to <Main menu>.
- Adjust the weight of the menu. I want my menu to fall in the center of the list, so I'll guess at 2 :) You may need to play with this value a little to make the item appear in the desire place in the list of items.
- Save.
And there we go! A menu item in our Main menu.
Add a sub menu item to Whitepapers
Next we'll add a page under Whitepapers in our menu. Go through the steps above to create a new page item. When you get to the content item options step (where we created a menu link), stop and come back to this page.
Activate the Provide a menu link option for this page as you did the Whitepapers page. This time in the Parent Item select box, select Whitepapers.
In the image above, follow these steps.
- Select the Menu settings tab. It probably is selected already.
- Check the Provide a menu link box.
- Leave the Parent item select box set to -- Whitepapers.
- Save.
After saving, you will be redirected to your new page. Notice that there is no drop down menu present under Whitepapers. We will fix this in the next section.
Expand the menu items in the menu configuration
In Drupal 7, a menu must be expanded before its children will be visible in a rendered page. This is easy to do. First, open the Structure menu and select Menus.
Then select list links, one of the operations of the Main menu row in the table of menus.
On the next form, click the edit operation of the Whitepapers row.
On the next form, enable the Show as expanded option. This will make the direct child links of this node visible when the page renders. This page is also a useful place to edit other properties of the menu link, like its Parent link or Weight.
In the image above, follow these steps.
- Check the Show as expanded checkbox.
- Save.
Close the resulting overlay after you save.
Your page should refresh. If it doesn't, refresh the page.
Look, we have a drop down menu!
I'm going to repeat the steps above to add sub menus so that we have something to work with in the next step, the drop down menu styling how-to. Don't forget to expand sub menu items if you add children under them!
Next step: http://jessebeach.drupalgardens.com/content/drop-down-menus-drupal-gardens-how-style-every-little-pixel
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this post! I'm a noobie and I've been trying to figure out how to set-up the new drop down menus. Your screen shots and concise instructions helped me find where I was going wrong.
Thank you
Hi Jesse I love your site, beautiful.I'm new to web design and learning... I would like to know how you created the shadow border around the page content? Did you use photoshop brushes to make the background graphic? Thanks you.
Drupal is an accessible tool for building websites that can also be accessed by people with disabilities--this initiative began with advancements of the Drupal 7 accessibility. The accessibility team has worked to identify accessibility barriers with Drupal and worked to resolve.Landscaping in Toronto

Thursday, April 18, 2013
A Dorchester County task force is looking into possible pay raises for county elected and appointed officials.
Council gave approval April 1 for human resources to consider pay raises, as well as performance and merit increases for employees, reclassification of employee positions and employee health and dental benefits.
The move comes about because council adjusted employees' pay in January, but delayed a decision on elected and appointed officials' pay, County Administrator Jason Ward said.
Sheriff L.C. Knight said he was ready and waiting to see what the county would do.
"I've been here four years and haven't got 1 percent," he said.
County Council last gave itself a raise in 2008, when it quietly voted in a pay increase to $20,000 from $15,000.
When the information became widely known, several members said they would continue to accept only the original amount of $15,000.
By comparison, Charleston County Council members earn between $14,001 and $18,000, and Berkeley County Council members make $12,000.
The exact salary of some elected officials can be difficult to pin down, because they receive supplemental pay from the state.
And some officials get pay increases mandated by the state. Probate judges salaries', for example, are determined according to a salary schedule based on population and are adjusted annually using the cost-of-living increase determined by the state – 3 percent this year – according to Dorchester County's human resources department.
According to a budget proviso supplied by the S.C. Comptroller General's office, clerks of court, probate judges, sheriffs and coroners each also receive a $1,575 supplement from the state, and registers of deeds receive a $650 supplement.
That information differs slightly from what some of the counties in the tri-county area reported.
Berkeley County, for example, reported no supplement for its coroner and reported its probate judge received two supplements – one in the amount of $1,575 and one in the amount of $9,845.
Probate Judge Keith Kornahrens didn't return a call seeking clarification.
Also according to the budget proviso supplied by the comptroller general's office, county auditors and treasurers are to receive state supplements of $27,224.
The S.C. Treasurer's Office, however, said the supplements for those two positions are $19,976.
The additional money, said spokesman Brian DeRoy, goes directly to benefits.
The proviso says, "The amount appropriated in Part IA, Section 86, for Aid Cnty-Auditors and Aid Cnty-Treasurers, shall be equally distributed to each county auditor and county treasurer as a salary supplement in addition to any amounts presently being provided by the county for these positions."
The amount appropriated is $1.25 million for each office – or $27,224 when divided by 46 counties. DeRoy, however, said the $19,976 figure is the correct amount of the supplement.
The auditors and treasurers don't receive the full $19,976, however, as part of that money is also deducted for benefits.
Dorchester County Auditor J.J. Messervy said his taxable income from the state supplement is $15,216.
The budget proviso stipulates the extra state pay for auditors and treasurers isn't an excuse for counties to decrease their contributions, and that auditors and treasurers should still be considered eligible for county pay raises.

The boys informed me today that while the cabbage roll filling from last night was "thumbs up," cabbage itself was "thumbs down." That means, overall, the cabbage rolls were "thumbs sideways." So, rather than make them suffer through mediocre leftovers, I let them choose the meal tonight. They went with burgers. A few days ago, Vegan Linda posted a comment on my Perfect Burger recipe asking if there was any alternative to the TVP I used. I really didn't have a good response until tonight. Tempeh! In fact, I think these burgers are better than the TVP version. To make them absolutely perfect, I topped them with sauteed onions and mushrooms.

I am an old mom and i do not know if during my time ( i mean my child bearing stage ) are the immunizations after birth still the same as of the current time? Can someone post in here the expected and mandatory ( necessary to be administered ) immunization that a new born should have? From birth till the booster doses of those immunization. I still get puzzled and confused by the what and when are those expected to have. Not every pediatrician explains the necessity of those vaccines and immunization. Thanks in advance!

Here is a link to the current Australian children's vaccination schedule. These are often changed in terms of the time they are given and how they are grouped together but this is the current schedule.
I believe it is good to be informed about the vaccines offered and decide if these are necessary (and if the likely benefits outweigh the potential risks) for each child. Some parents choose that it is best for their child to opt out of some or all of the vaccines, for example, because their child is highly unlikely to be exposed to that particular disease. It is a personal decision for each parent to make for each child they have. There is a useful thread here on how to make an informed decision about child vaccinations.
I have always found this a complex subject but one worth gathering information about and making an informed decision.
Best wishes,

Excellent information posted by LJ. Please be sure to take a look at the thread on how to make an informed decision about child vaccinations. That's super important in helping you learn more about your options.

5 One-Hit Wonders Who Deserve Your Respect: Part 2
#2. New Radicals
In 1998, the New Radicals were everywhere with "You Get What You Give." The band was the creation of Gregg Alexander, who wrote and produced all the material using a rotating roster of musicians. And though the song featured both indictments of corporate America and tongue-in-cheek violence toward Courtney Love, Hanson and Marilyn Manson, it's just about the happiest, most infectious song you've ever heard.
The song was a commercial and critical success. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Joni Mitchell described the song as "the only thing I heard in many years that I thought had greatness in it ..." But despite the successes, New Radicals seemed to disappear as quickly as they emerged.
Why? Well, kind of by choice. Before the release of the album's second single, Alexander disbanded the group -- and since there really was no group, that meant he decided he didn't want to be a pop star. He was a songwriter with apparently zero interest in being onstage. By resisting the temptation to become a pop sensation, New Radicals managed not to overstay its welcome like some of those artists Alexander criticized at the end of "You Get What You Give."
Alexander continued songwriting, crafting tunes performed by artists such as Rod Stewart, Ronan Keating, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Enrique Iglesias. He also wrote the 2003 Grammy Award-winning song "The Game of Love" recorded by Santana and Michelle Branch.
#1. 'Til Tuesday/Aimee Mann
Some people might say it's cheating to have a hybrid entry featuring both a band and the subsequent solo career of one of its members, but I won't listen. Why? Because back in 1985 when 'Til Tuesday broke with their monster hit "Voices Carry," all eyes were on lead singer/bass player Aimee Mann. The video's climax of an oppressed woman freaking out at the opera was bombastic, ridiculous, iconic and absolutely awesome.
You did not win an Oscar, Ms. Mann, but you did win the heart of a prepubescent future Internet writer.
I'm also bending the rules because I'm just a huge Aimee Mann fan. And lastly, she's been married to Michael Penn for many years, and I think it's just lovely that I have them both in the same column. I like to pretend Aimee's curled up on the couch with her laptop right now, sitting in her quirkily adorable fashion, while Michael's in the other room, scribbling lyric fragments into a notebook and adjusting his capo.
"Hey, babe," Aimee calls out. "Come over here, we're both in a Cracked article written by this astute and surprisingly sexy Gladstone dude.'"
"Oh, I remember him," Michael says, entering the room. "He was in the third row at that New York City Town Hall concert we did together like 10 years ago. He lost his damn mind when I opened with 'Long Way Down (Look What the Cat Drug In).'"
"Michael, we've talked about this," Aimee says. "You don't have to say the parentheses part of your songs out loud. Also, you don't have to say 'parentheses' before you say the part in parentheses."
"Sorry, Aims."
"But you're right! I remember him. We should totally invite Gladstone over to hang. We could jam and watch Portlandia episodes and call up Paul F. Tompkins for a fun game of Pictionary."
Yeah, that's basically how my fantasies work. In any event, although 'Til Tuesday only had one monster hit in the '80s, Aimee's solo career is filled with some fantastic songwriting. Go out and get I'm With Stupid or Whatever or The Forgotten Arm or my favorite -- the soundtrack to Magnolia, containing her Oscar-nominated "Save Me."

Push: MTV's week-long salute to Green Day's new musical "American Idiot." Check it out: HERE.
Green Day may have already won Grammys for its album American Idiot, but the band might have to prepare some new acceptance speeches if "American Idiot: The Musical" takes Broadway by storm -- fingers crossed! -- and the Tony awards come calling. We can't think of a better way to commemorate the meeting of peroxide punks and Park Ave. Playbill holders by making Green Day our P.U.S.H. (Play Until Someone Hears) artist of the week.
Directed by Michael Mayer and starring John Gallagher, Jr., both of "Spring Awakening" fame, the "American Idiot" rock opera was first staged at California's Berkeley Rep Theater late last year and received rave reviews. During a recent interview with Playbill.com, Armstrong revealed that, at the beginning of the recording process, he had lofty goals for the concept album since the beginning of recording. " I visualized the characters in my head, and starting thinking, 'Wow, this could totally be staged ... it could be something.'"

TAMPA, Fla. – The Buffalo Sabres found salvation Tuesday night in a strange place — the penalty box.
The Sabres made trip after trip to the box, but their penalty killers repeatedly bailed them out. The struggling team has been looking for anything to make it feel good about itself again, and the short-handed unit did the job by carrying the Sabres to a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"Just the battle level and competitive nature we had was outstanding," Sabres interim coach Ron Rolston said after his first NHL victory. "It was great, and I'm really happy for our team because we've seen a lot of good signs and we just needed something to keep us moving in the right direction."
The Sabres ended a four-game losing streak and won for just the second in eight games. They've made a habit of celebrating in Tampa Bay Times Forum, improving to 26-9-3 in the Lightning's home rink.
"It was more of the game we need to play, and we'll see if we can take the confidence and turn it into something here," said goaltender Ryan Miller, who made 30 saves against the NHL's highest-scoring team.
The Lightning had plenty of opportunities to add to their goal total, but the Sabres' penalty killers went 6 for 6 to shut them down.
"Our No. 1 penalty killer is Millsie, and he came up with some huge saves," said defenseman Mike Weber, who played a game-high 6:46 of short-handed time. "Obviously, we don't want to go to the box that much, but to get a great effort from our killers was amazing."
The short-handed effort allowed the Sabres to open the third period in a 1-1 tie. Tampa had dominated final periods this season, outscoring opponents, 33-21, but Buffalo needed just 52 seconds to show it was tired of losing.
Thomas Vanek deflected a shot and followed it behind the Tampa net. He quickly dumped the puck toward the slot, and Tyler Myers fired a shot home before goaltender Mathieu Garon could set himself.
"It always feels good to score," Myers said. "It felt unbelievable to get the win after the way things have been going."
It initially looked like the downward trend would continue. The Lightning needed just 1:24 to put the Sabres in an all-too-familiar early hole. Miller stopped Teddy Purcell's long-range shot, but the rebound went to a driving Steven Stamkos. The All-Star center easily found the net for his NHL-leading 14th goal.
The Sabres caught a break to tie the game. Cody Hodgson collected a carom below the goal line and dumped the puck toward the crease. It struck Tampa defenseman Sami Salo and bounced into the net with 9:58 left.
"We got down early, and our guys came right back and got a goal," Rolston said. "That's a good sign for a hockey team."
The Sabres killed two penalties in the first, but that was merely a warm-up for the second period.
Buffalo's parade to the penalty box began with 5:15 gone when Myers departed for high-sticking. Miller's best friends were the post, which stopped Stamkos, and Patrick Kaleta, who hit the ice to take a bullet from the stick of Marc-Andre Bergeron.
"I love to be able to contribute to the team that way," Kaleta said.
Only 23 seconds after Myers came on the ice, Drew Stafford took his spot in the box for high-sticking. Myers trudged off again for hooking just 1:14 later, giving the Lightning a 5-on-3 for 46 seconds.
They repeatedly set up Stamkos for one-timers from the left side, but Miller read the play as if it were an elementary school picture book and easily made the stops.
"We were doing a good job of staying back and staying in the lanes, and they've got to move around the perimeter," Miller said. "It makes his shot a little further out, makes his shot a little more predictable.
"We didn't spend as much time running in our zone, and that translates to a game we can win."
They Sabres will go for two in a row Thursday when the visit the Florida Panthers.
"They did a lot of things right and got rewarded for it," Rolston said. "The goal now is to build on that."

Consider adding the Maccabees to the rumor list. They confirmed at a show at the El Ray last month that they would be on tour again in the states in the spring, and from talking directly with them, they were looking at playing festivals but they would not confirm or deny which ones. IO Echo, who opened for them, also talked about playing some festivals...
Paul has a vested interest in kissing Trent's (and any other industry giant's) ass and keeping him happy. That doesn't involve putting his wife and treasured side project on the 4th line.
Go on...
A Trent Reznor side project. That has one ep. That is not NIN. Get bent. 3rd or 4th line.
Two EPs and an album coming soon.
6/26 Sunflower Bean @ Constellation Room, 7/3 Telecaves @ Non Plus Ultra, 7/7 Mitski @ The Echo, 7/22 Weird Al @ Hollywood Bowl, 7/28 Tokimonsta @ Hammer Museum, 8/3 Marissa Nadler @ The Echo, 8/4 Radiohead @ Shrine Auditorium, 8/7 Sufjan Stevens @ Hollywood Bowl, 8/27-28 FYF Fest, 9/24 Music Tastes Good, 9/25 Lush @ Fonda
Ok, my mistake. Wrong on that account. I love Trent and NIN as much as anyone other fan, but just because it's Trent Reznors band does not automatically make them a subheadliner.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Cell migration plays an important role in physiological processes such as wound healing while its deregulation contributes to the pathology of cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Agents that affect cell motility, either positively or negatively, have the potential to serve as therapeutics for wound healing or as antimetastatic agents, respectively.
Investigators engaged in high throughput screening (HTS) of compounds seek improved, high-density format assays that offer: complete adaptability for liquid-handling automation to facilitate ease of use and decrease hands-on time; the ability to view cells in real-time during experiments, a feature that is lacking in Boyden chamber-based assays where the membrane insert is an obstruction; and greater reproducibility of data than in scratch assays where wound sizes can be inconsistent and where cells and underlying extracellular matrix coating may also be damaged.
Platypus Technologies has developed the Oris™ Pro 384 Cell Migration Assay, available with either tissue culture treated or collagen I coated surfaces, which is fully automatable, suitable for real-time viewing, offers increased robustness over Boyden chamber and wound healing/scratch assays, and is compatible with high-content analysis (HCA) systems.
The Oris Pro 384 Cell Migration Assay is a 384-well high density cell exclusion assay useful for screening compound libraries (Figure 1). The 384-well assay plates are provided with spots of biocompatible gel (BCG) deposited in each well to exclude cells from adhering in the centers of the wells. The user seeds cells into the BCG-containing wells to set up the assay. The BCG is formulated to rapidly dissolve as the cells fall to the well bottom and begin to attach. Full dissolution of the BCG reveals a cell-free detection zone reproducibly positioned in the center of each well into which cells may then migrate.
SKOV-3 cells (human ovarian adenocarcinoma) were labeled with Vybrant® DiD cell-labeling solution. Cell seeding and compound addition were performed using a Tecan Freedom EVO 200 liquid handler equipped with a robotic manipulator arm (RoMa), a multichannel arm (MCA384), a liquid-handling arm (LiHa), and a Cytomat 6001 automated incubator. Prelabeled cells (12,500/well in 25 μL of medium containing heat inactivated serum) were seeded into an Oris Pro 384 Cell Migration Assay Tissue Culture treated plate from a stirred reservoir using the MCA384 with disposable tips at a low dispensing speed.
After a four-hour incubation period, Cytochalasin D (0–4 μM, final concentrations; n=24 for each) was added to the assay wells in 10 μL of serum-free medium. Premigration images were captured using an IsoCyte DL™ laser scanning cytometer equipped with 488 nm and 640 nm lasers.
Scanning was performed at a 5 μm x 5 μm resolution using a 660–680 BP filter and required approximately 8 minutes per plate. The assay plate was returned to the incubator for 16 hours to allow the cells to migrate, after which time post-migration images were captured. Image analysis was performed with BBIsoCyte 5.1 software to determine the area of the detection zone covered by migrating cells.

Mor Ya'qub Burd'ono - kirk yacoub - 27-07-2007
This weekend the Syriac Orthodox Church celebrates the Feast of Mor Ya'qub Burd'ono (Jacob Baradaeus) one of the greatest of saints. Because he is such a towering figure in the history of Syriac Christianity the Church itself is often called "the Jacobites", a term the Church does not use because, of course, the Syriac Church traces its origins to the missionary work of St Peter in Antioch around 37AD,and was not founded by Mor Ya'qub. But he is greatly revered as being God's instrument for the protection, survival and renewal of the Syriac Orthodox Church.
Because Syriac Christians rejected the doctrines of the Council of Chalcedon in 451 the Byzantine state launched a ferocious wave of persecutions against them, even resorting to massacres, and by the middle of the 6th century only three Syriac Orthodox bishops remained in office. However, at the very heart of the Byzantine state the opponents of Chalcedon had a great protector in the person of the Emperor's wife, Theodora. Quite contrary to the lies told about her in the "Secret Histories"
of Procopius (today he would be a journalist on the Sun or Daily Mail) the
Syriac Orthodox Church reveres her as "the believing Queen." At a time of acute danger she hid Syriac and Coptic clergy in the royal palace itself.
The daughter of a Syriac Orthodox priest, Theodora was instrumental in enabling the exiled Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria, Theodosius, to ordain
Yaq'ub Burd'ono as Bishop of Edessa in 544.
Born in what is now south-eastern Turkey in the year 500, Ya'qub was a hermit monk renowned not only for his piety, scholarship, preaching and
theological understanding, but also for his miracles. From the moment of his ordination he began a life of tireless and ceaseless travels back and forth across Syria, Egypt, Asia Minor and Mesopotamia. His God-given mission was to strengthen the persecuted faithful and ensure the survival of the Church. Although a hunted man with a price on his head, by the time of his death (in suspicious circumstances) in 578, Ya'qub Bord'ono had ordained seventeen bishops and hundreds of priests and deacons, thus ensuring the Apostolic continuity of the Syriac Orthodox Church, against which the very gates of hell were unable to prevail.
The word "burd'ono" in Syriac means "saddle-cloth" and Yaq'ub was given this appelation because it matched his rough and ragged garments which were an outward sign of a man who was not a servant of the pomps of this world, but of the Lord of the world to come.
Let his stirring example remain in our hearts and may his prayers strengthen us.

Baradaeus - John Charmley - 28-07-2007
Dear Kirk,
A welcome reminder of a great Christian soul - and one that shows how much history is written by the victors.
I am sure that you are correct about Procopius, he would be a leading columnist in the tabloid press for sure. Are there any English language sources for more information about Baradaeus and his great work?
In Christ,
mor ya'qub Burd'ono - kirk yacoub - 30-07-2007
Dear John,
The best source for Jacob Baradaeus is the SOC website, particularly one Lent encyclical issued by the Patriarch in 2000, which also gives info about Theodora.
Anyway, as luck and the London Underground would have it, I spent yesterday (Sunday29th July) not in church, celebrating not only the Feast of Ya'qub Burd'ono, but also Bar Hebraeus, but, unfortunately, in the tunnel of the Central Line due to a power failure!!

Baradaeus - John Charmley - 30-07-2007
Dear Kirk,
I am sorry to hear that your plans for Sunday were so rudely disturbed, but am extremely grateful to you for pointing me in the right direction. It reminds me of the tremendous, and heart-breaking sacrifices which the Syriac Orthodox Church has made over so many years. I know that the Copts, rightly, like to think of themselves as the Church of the Martyrs, but reading the history of the Syriac Orthodox Church is, indeed, an exercise is martyrology; what a humbling witness to us all.
In Christ,
- admin - 30-07-2007
From a reference work:
Principal sources for Jacob are the following: John of Ephesus, Lives, 49, PO 18:690-97; and 50, PO 19:153-58; idem, HE, pt. III; the letters to and from Jacob, in Documenta ad origines monophysitarum illustrandas, ed. and trans. J.-B Chabot, Letters 7, 23, 29, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36; pseudo-Zachariah Rhetor, HE 10.12; Michael the Syrian, Chronique 9.29-31; and Bar Hebraeus, Chronicon ecclesiasticum 1.213-18, 233-44. There is also the spurious Vita Iacobi Baradaei, falsely attributed to John of Ephesus, edited and translated by E. W. Brooks; the attribution to John was supported by the plagiarism of certain passages from John's Lives, but it also indicates how venerable a historian John was held to be in later tradition, and the marked influence of his particular biographical rendering of Jacob's life even where legend had grown extensively. To this spurious Vita, 268-73, editor Brooks appends a short text that concerns the transfer in 622 of Jacob's relics from the Egyptian monastery at Casium where he died, to his former home, the monastery of Fsiltha at Tella.
Baradaeus - John Charmley - 30-07-2007
Dear Peter,
Very grateful to you for these additional sources.
In Christ,

Cloud computing has the well-publicized advantages of reduced costs and increased agility. To reap these benefits, resources are typically allocated from a global large-scale computing infrastructure, highly shared among many applications and customers. This talk starts with an overview of Windows Azure, Microsoft's cloud computing platform, as a concrete example of a large scale highly shared cloud. The talk then presents some of the challenges of cloud computing, including security, evolving applications for cloud computing, and the federation of multiple clouds. The talk explores the tension between, on one hand, the desire for reduced cost and increased agility, and on the other hand, securing applications and their data. The talk also discusses the need to evolve the application model to truly attain the advantages of cloud computing.

COLUMBIA - A legislative panel on Monday dismissed allegations that Rep. Bill Chumley inappropriately used state aircraft when he shuttled a conservative commentator from the Washington area to testify on his bill.
The House Ethics Committee voted unanimously after hearing from Chumley and his attorney for more than an hour. Following closed-door deliberations, the panel found insufficient proof that Chumley knowingly violated state law or economically benefited from the trip.
"I think justice was served," Chumley, R-Woodruff, said after the vote. "It's the right thing to do. I think the committee was extremely fair."
Asked whether he would use state aircraft again to bring someone to a hearing, he said, "Knowing what I know now, I would certainly research it further."
Chumley sponsored the March 20 trip of Walter Williams, an economics professor and syndicated columnist, from a suburban Washington airport to push for a bill that initially sought to nullify the federal health care law. The state planes' four legs - to a Manassas, Va., airport and back, to pick up Williams and return him - would have cost a paying passenger nearly $6,400, according to the state Aeronautics Commission's manifest and flight log.
Democrats immediately pounced on the trip, calling it the height of hypocrisy to frivolously spend taxpayers' money while bashing government spending. But Chumley dismissed requests that he reimburse the state, calling Williams' testimony official state business.
The complaint, filed in June by Chumley's 2010 Democratic opponent, accused him of using government resources for political purposes. In response, Chumley called the complaint itself an unsubstantiated political attack that is wasting the committee's resources.
"Everyone involved in the debate of this important legislation benefited from the input of Dr. Williams," he wrote in his response to the committee. Williams' testimony "did not directly benefit any political candidate for office, including myself."
The head of a South Carolina tea party group sent out an email calling Chumley's hearing a "witch hunt," attracting a crowd that packed the hearing. But Chumley requested the hearing after the ethics committee voted last month to proceed with the case.
Attorney Reese Boyd pointed to advice Chumley received from the committee's former attorney, who gave an opinion that the flight would not violate the law. Since state law doesn't specifically address the issue, it wouldn't be a violation, she wrote in a letter, while stressing it carried no legal weight. The committee has since put out an opinion contradicting that.
Statewide officers and legislators are allowed to use the state's two planes at no cost on a first-come, first-served basis, as long as the trips are official business. The lawmaker requesting the plane must sign the manifest certifying that's the case. A clause in the state budget specifies that transportation to and from legislative meetings does not qualify as official business. The staff attorney did not consider that clause when she formed her opinion.
Still, violating that section of the ethics law requires the legislator to know it was wrong and to benefit economically, the committee found. While the complaint accused Chumley of arranging the trip to reach Williams' fan base, Chumley testified he never went on Williams' radio show.
"He went to counsel and acted in good faith. Not only did he get the OK, he got the OK in writing," Boyd said. "He did not knowingly violate the ethics act. End of story."
Williams, a syndicated columnist and radio commentator who sometimes fills in for Rush Limbaugh, is well known for advocating state measures attempting to nullify the federal law. He spoke less than 30 minutes on a bill preordained to pass, though in a much-amended format. The compromise was worked out before the meeting began.
Williams flew solo, riding the state's King Air 350 on the way down and King Air C90 on the way back.
Chumley testified that Williams refused to fly commercially, saying it took up too much time. After hearing from the staff attorney, he said he never considered any other option for getting Williams to Columbia.

"Quality of the invitations are excellent. Design and set-up are exactly as you view it on-line. Great to have someone on other end proof read and send you an email to confirm changes if any. However, you need to watch "shipping". I attached my contacts and paid for stamps so once it was printed, Tiny Prints can send directly to my guests. They are located in California. I automatically assumed that once the envelope is stamped, it wouldn't take more than 3 days to arrive once shipped. Apparently, Tiny Prints has a different process and they say it takes 8 days to arrive. I went through a panic mode since my party was less than two weeks away and they were kind enough to set up the website and email the invites to all my guests. When I went home that same night, everyone received the invitation. Please question arrival of your invitations verbally before placing order. Other than that, I am very pleased with the invitation and service."

Poll: Does 'sense of humor' run in the family?
Last week we asked whether sense of direction ran in your family.
Many people enjoy finding out information about their ancestors in terms of the facts and figures about their lives.
But what some enjoy most is learning about how they lived and what kind of people they were.
There are certain character traits that appear to run in the family and when you see a family member exhibiting the mannerisms or characteristics that their parents, or grandparents possessed, you feel a sense of familiarity or continuation.
So to carry on this theme, we're now interested in the lighter side of life - humor.
We've all got those relatives that have a fantastic sense of humor, the ones who always have a joke or anecdote to share at every family get together.
Have you noticed a trend in your family? Do you think sense of humor is inherited? We'd love to hear your view in the poll, or comments section below.
