Oh my God it's in Vegas!!! So many ravers are going to die and no one will care!!
I keep hearing this "five days" rumor, but I keep pushing it aside as bs. Would be pretty gnarly though...
Shows improvement on their part already as far as trying to establish a destination festival rather than a locals only party. If I can swing it I'm going to in a heart beat, Saturday of EDC last year provided me with the most solid 6-7 hour block of music I've ever heard and welcome the chance to do it all over again.
already there. cant wait.
and jeremy if you go, lets actually meet up and party this time! haha
I'll pre buy this year. Can't do it now, but hopefully have the $ by presale. It will be nice to book a room for cheap this far out instead of getting raped like last year. Hard to beat the EDC production. Hopefully, the AM bus situation improves.
I'm really digging the June 8-10 dates. That's going to be an awesome graduation present.
Tickets on sale November 1
Las Vegas, October 6, 2011 – After hosting more than 230,000 amazing fans during Electric Daisy Carnival, Las Vegas 2011, the world's top musical and artistic talent will return to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS) for the 16th Annual Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) on June 8, 9 and 10, 2012.
"When Insomniac decided to produce EDC in Las Vegas last June, we knew we were working with the ideal venue but we weren't sure how our fans would react," said Insomniac President and CEO Pasquale Rotella. "But after seeing more than 230,000 people show up to enjoy our show we knew we picked a City and venue that serves as the perfect home for the largest electronic music festival in North America."
"We are thrilled to welcome the Electric Daisy Carnival back to Las Vegas and to Las Vegas Motor Speedway," said Chris Powell, president of LVMS. "EDC in 2011 provided a tremendous boost to our local economy. Additionally, the promoter of EDC, Insomniac, demonstrated that it operates a well-organized, safe and secure event. The people at Insomniac are proven professionals, and we're excited to work together to create an unforgettable EDC in 2012 here at LVMS."
EDC Las Vegas will be presented in 2012 as a Las Vegas Signature Event. "Las Vegas Events is proud to add Electric Daisy Carnival to its roster of Signature Events," said Pat Christenson, President of Las Vegas Events. "We look forward to working with Insomniac on the development of EDC Las Vegas."
Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas was internationally recognized in September at the 2011 DJ Awards in Ibiza as the International Festival of the Year, where Rotella was in attendance to receive the award.
Tickets for this three-day experience go on sale at noon Pacific Time on Tuesday, November 1, 2011. Three-day General Admission tickets will start at $215, three-day VIP tickets are to start at $500 each. There will be a limited quantity of single-day tickets available at a later date.
A special pre-sale event will take place at Insomniac's debut Halloween festival, Escape from Wonderland, on October 29, 2011, where festival attendees will have exclusive access to purchase discounted advanced tickets for EDC Las Vegas from an Insomniac ticketing booth located inside the event. "The pre-sale is a special Thank You to fans who are coming out en-masse to support Insomniac's first-ever Halloween event," said Rotella.

Had a blast this year, cannot fucking wait for 2012. I wonder what the savings will be for those fortunate enough to buy at Escape from Wonderland. I will definitely buy pre-sale tickets in November.
So who is headlining? They wouldn't have repeat headliners would they?
One of those trance guys who starts with A
Benny Benassi (It's surprising how many events he's been in, how long he's been in the game, how he has the cheesy crowd and still has at least an ounce of respect with the purists but he never headlines so I give it to him this year)
Last year had its moments. Sunday was a fucking downer filled with pretty crappy music - wish I stuck with attending 2 days instead of all 3. Sunrise sets were a blast but all my festival funds for next year will be pocketed for my first trip to Sonar.
There were a lot of great moments for me in EDC Vegas 2011, but one of them that stands out and I'll never forget is the closing sunrise set with Boys Noize.
Same weekend as Bonnaroo, oh well. :(
Secret EDC ticket pre-sale at Escape from Wonderland
I'll be there. pm meQuote:
Tickets are already selling very quickly for our debut Halloween festival on October 29, and with artists like Afrojack, Borgore, Pendulum w/ MC Verse, and Steve Angello, it's no wonder!
We've decided to sweeten the deal a little bit as a thank you to our fans for attending our first ever Halloween festival:
Attendees at Escape from Wonderland will have exclusive access to a limited pre-sale for Electric Daisy Carnival 2012 Las Vegas, before tickets go on sale to the public! On October 29, fans at the NOS Event Center can go to our special EDC booth located inside Escape from Wonderland and buy their specially discounted EDC Las Vegas 2012 full weekend GA or VIP tickets. Credit cards only.
Yeah of course why not?
Well good sir, in that case, I believe we will have some business to conduct in a few weeks.
Sounds good my friend! Anyone else don't be shy give me a holler
if i come up with some money i will definitely be hitting you up choice cat. what do you think they'll cost. 200 @ escape?
I was wondering the same thing too. If the 3-day GA are going to start at $215 plus fees, I wonder what kind of earth-shattering savings will be at escape. I wonder if you can avoid some service fees as well since it's in person? Who knows. But I'm all for saving money. More money for booze and drugs.
its definitely lookin like ill buy the friday and saturday tix at escape. if i dont like it, ill prolly jsut sell x2 price!
Don't worry everyone. Skrillex will be able to play EDC and Bonnaroo.

Financial Reform Bill Will Benefit Blacks
James Wright | 5/5/2010, 4:49 p.m.
Financial Literacy Key to Money Management
The financial reform package that is making its way through both houses of Congress will benefit African Americans by changing the banking system to ensure that it becomes more responsive to low and middle income consumers and makes financial literacy education more readily available.
That's what Cecelia Rouse, a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, told journalists during a conference call, Thu., April 22 regarding the president's plan to address disparities within the financial system.
"We want to encourage African Americans to become regular bankers," Rouse, 46, said. "We also want to keep people in their homes and to save their neighborhoods."
Rouse, who is on leave from Princeton University, where she is the Theodore A. Wells Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, said that Blacks were targeted early in the past decade for the dangerous sub-prime loans.
"African Americans were three times more likely to have a sub-prime loan than Whites," she said.
"Fifty-three percent of the sub-prime loans were given to African Americans. That is interesting considering, for example, in 2006, 57 percent of the sub-prime loans given out are now in threat of foreclosure."
Rouse said that Obama's financial reform bill includes a provision that creates a new financial protection agency, in response to the foreclosure crisis. The agency would have two charges: protecting consumers and changing Wall Street.
"We want to make sure that there is strong protection for consumers," she said. "The agency will work to see that the big banks are fair to consumers and will mandate that mortgage paperwork be simplified. It will also practice oversight of alternative financial services such as payday lenders and check-cashing stores."
Rouse said that the consumer component will also reign in excessive fees charged by credit card companies and serve as the primary tool for financial literacy and education.
Wall Street will have to change the way it operates, Rouse said.
"There has to be an orderly way to end a bank," she said, "without the American people bailing out these banks because of bad practices."
She said that the big banks should pay for their bad business decisions and the shareholders should have power over the salaries of the chief executive officers. A bankruptcy-like regime should be in place, she said, to end the mantra that a bank "is too big to fail."
Reports and statistics consistently show that, on average, Blacks earn less than Whites and have fewer liquid assets. The lack of liquidity sometimes requires Blacks and other lower-income Americans to resort to alternative financing methods to make ends meet.
In recent years, that has taken the form of a payday loan. In essence, a check-cashing or pawn shop will give out a cash loan at an exorbitant interest rate and ask for repayment within a short period of time.
When payday loan customers cannot make the payment, they are charged additional interest and their checking account, on which the loan is based, is often abused. The practice is legal because of the paperwork the customer signed authorizing the transaction.
Nevertheless, due to abuses, D.C. Council member Mary Cheh (D-Ward 3) sponsored and helped pass into law the Payday Loan Consumer Protection Act of 2007 that bans predatory "payday" lenders from operating in the District.
Rouse admits that there is a place for the type of service that payday lenders offer.
"They play a role and have legitimate uses," she said.
"It is a quick source of cash without paperwork for emergency situations. What is needed by consumers is better management of that money and that is what the financial literacy component is designed to do."
Rouse did not provide details about what form the financial literacy education would take. She said that she would not be able to comment until the final draft of the financial reform package comes out. However, the goal is to ensure that the country's financial system benefits everyone, she said.
"Increasing financial literacy will help our communities grow and prosper because people will have the knowledge to make better financial decisions," Rouse said.
"This is something Democrats and Republicans can find common ground on."

Temple City Among Top 20 Safest California Cities
February 13, 2013 • 1,264 views
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Neighborhood Scout, an online company that provides real estate data to prospective homebuyers, recently ranked Temple City 40th among the "Top 100 Safest Cities in the U.S.," and 6th among cities in California. Temple City consistently makes the list, last year ranking 64th nationwide and 14thin California.
With a crime index rating of 76, Temple City is safer than 76 percent of cities nationwide. A crime index rating of 100 indicates the safest city in America. Other area communities that made the list include Chino Hills (ranked 82), Rancho Palos Verdes (ranked 89), Yorba Linda (ranked 69) and Walnut (ranked 76).
The study bases rankings on total property and violent crimes per 1,000 residents, to determine the safety of a neighborhood in relation to other U.S. cities. Results are gathered from FBI data collected from over 17,000 local law enforcement agencies nationwide, including reported incidences of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, murder, forcible rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault.
"We attribute our safe-city ranking to the community's growing participation in the Neighborhood Watch Program," said Mayor Vincent Yu. "We can thank our residents, the Sheriff's Department, and the City's Public Safety Division for our community's exemplary safety record—it shows that we really look out for each other in Temple City."
Those looking to become more active in promoting neighborhood safety can participate in the City and Sheriff's Department's recently reformatted Neighborhood Watch Program. Through monthly meetings targeting specific Watch Areas, residents interact with local law enforcement to discuss such pertinent issues as crime trends and statistics, and emergency preparedness.
Read more about the Neighborhood Watch Program in the Summer 2012 issue of Connect Magazine. To find your Watch Area, or learn more about how to get involved, contact Public Safety Officer Bryan Ariizumi at (626) 285-2171, or visit www.templecity.us.

National History Day, Inc. - Website Category Rules
Judging Web Sites:
The web sites will be judged in a similar fashion to the National History Day paper category, allowing the judges the opportunity to review the entry prior to the contest day. Four CD-Rs with the student's web site will be submitted along with four copies of the process paper, the annotated bibliography and hard copy print-outs of the web site by the entry date. Judges will individually or in groups evaluate the web sites prior to the contest date. They will interview the students at the contest and look at the web site if technology is available, or use the web site print-out to discuss their evaluation with the students.
Web Sites
A web site should reflect your ability to use web site design software and computer technology to communicate your topic's significance in history. The historical quality, analysis, and interpretation of your topic must be clear and evident to the viewer. Web sites are the most interactive of all NHD categories. In designing your entry, you should include elements that actively engage your audience in learning about your topic. These elements do not have to be technologically complex, but they should let the audience participate in exploring the topic, rather than passively viewing information. Your presentation should include primary materials, but must also be an original production. To produce a web site, you must have access to appropriate software and equipment and be able to operate it.
Rules for all Categories, applies to websites.
Rule 1: Size Requirements
Web site entries may contain no more than 1,200 visible, student-composed words. Citations, code used to build the site, and alternate text tags on images do not count toward the word limit. The word limit does not include words found in materials used for illustration, such as documents, artifacts or graphs not created by the students, or to quotations from primary sources such as oral history interviews, letters, or diaries, photos of artifacts with writing, or other illustrative materials that are used as an integral part of the web site. Brief citations crediting the sources of illustrations or quotations included on the web sites do count toward the 1,200-word limit. The entire site, including all multimedia, may use up to 50MB of file space.
Rule 2: Navigation
One page of your web site must serve as the "home page." This page must be saved in the root directory of the CD-R (not in any folder) with the name "index." The home page must include your name, the title of your entry, your age division, and a main menu that directs viewers to the various sections of your site. All pages must be interconnected with hypertext links. Automatic redirects are not permitted.
Rule 3: Multimedia
A single multimedia clip may not last more than 45 seconds and may not include student-composed narration. If an entry uses any form of multimedia requiring a plug-in (for example, Flash, QuickTime or Real Player), the student must provide on the same page a link to an Internet site where the plug-in is available as a free, secure, and legal download. Judges will make every effort to view all multimedia content, but files that cannot be viewed cannot be evaluated as part of the entry.
Rule 4: Entry Production
All entries must be original productions. Students may use professional photographs, graphics, video, recorded music, etc. within the site. Such items must be integrated into the web site, and proper credit must be given within the site as well as in the annotated bibliography. Students must operate all software and equipment in the development of the web site.
Rule 5: Citations
Citations--footnotes, endnotes or internal documentation--are required. Citations are used to credit the sources of specific ideas as well as direct quotations. Refer to "Rules for All Categories," Part II, Rule 14, for citation styles.
Rule 6: Stable Content
The content and appearance of a page may not change when the page is refreshed in the browser. Random text or image generators are not allowed.
Rule 7: Viewing Files
The pages that comprise the site must be viewable in a recent version of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Entries may not link to live or external sites, except to direct viewers to plug-ins.
Rule 8: File Safety
Entries that contain potentially harmful file contamination (e.g. a virus) are subject to disqualification.
Rule 9: Submitting Entry for Judging
Students will submit their projects on CD-R for advance viewing by judges. CD-Rs must be labeled only with the student's name, division, and entry title; decorations or illustrations are not appropriate. CD-Rs must be accompanied by four hard copies of the student's process paper, annotated bibliography, and print-outs of the site.

(The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.)
Generally the yacht is in fair condition and now ashore.
Our photos are split into those taken afloat in July 2016 (before the layout plan) and those taken in October now ashore.
The exterior could now do with some professional gelcoat improvements, polishing, filling and colour matching of older bumps and dings. Nothing structural in our opinion more cosmetic.
The interior sleeping cabins are in good condition for her age, the main living area of the saloon and flooring, cupboard edges, seals etc show the most wear which should be expected as this is the area of the yacht where most of the daily living takes place.
Again more cosmetic than anything else but quite worn.
Owners are prepared to consider sensible offers taking into account the condition of the yacht.
Purchased by the current British owners (1st time buyers at this point) in 2009 in Barcelona from a Lagoon dealer. For the first three years she was Spanish owned and believed to have been used as a demonstrator yacht for Lagoon the first year in Barcelona then in the Balearic's.
Sailed to Turkey for the next season and based in Turkey and Greece ever since, now ashore in the Lefkas/Preveza area of the Ionian.
She has been privately owned and used by the owners or family and friends for between 7-9 weeks each year since 2009. Right at the start of ownership in 2009 they thought about the possibility of chartering, (and even created a few simple private websites) but having enjoyed her so much kept her privately.
The Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith, in this case we are acting as Brokers only. Whilst every care has been taken in their preparation, the correctness of these particulars is not guaranteed. The particulars are intended only as a guide and they do not constitute a term of any contract. A prospective buyer is strongly advised to check the particulars and where appropriate at his own expense to employ a qualified Marine Surveyor to carry out a survey and/or to have an engine trial conducted which if conducted by us shall not imply any liability for such engine on our part. This vessel is offered subject to prior sale, price change, or withdrawal without notice.

Soil Health: Nebraska Farmer Learns New Tricks With Cover Cropping
By Dale Bolton • Jul 28, 2014
Nebraska farmer Bill Volkmer describes himself as an "old farmer." But this old farmer is willing to learn some new tricks. He started planting cover crops in 2011.
Cover-cropping — the practice of keeping fields covered between cash-crops — leads to a healthier, more bio-diverse soil and better crop productivity, which directly helps the bottom line. By selecting specific plants, from amongst the broadleafs, the grasses and the legumes, producers can improve their soils. By keeping soil covered, there's less evaporation, and when it's windy, there's less loss of topsoil.

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Chris Burillo, a food lover who is starting a new trend here in Panama.
Chris is the founder of: Panama Food Box Delivery, a business that, as its name says, delivers food boxes within Panama City.
The boxes are conformed mainly by fruits or vegetables. You may find different sizes and combinations including tropical fruits like: watermelon, papaya, pineapple, bananas, melon, etc.; and fresh veggies like: lettuce, tomatoes, celery, carrots, squash, etc.
The prices are basically the same ones that you would pay at a regular supermarket, with the advantage that the delivery cost is included and you get the goodies at your front door. Prices may very depending on the size you choose, they can be between 14 to 20 dollars for 2-3 persons boxes, which I consider a very fair price.
You may also customize your box or ask for special fruits or veggies or go for a Gourmet Box which will include a variety of fruits or veggies from more luxurious gatherings.
I find 3 main advantages in using this service:
1. I've noticed there's so much traffic lately here in Panama, so if I want fresh fruits or veggies (which you gotta buy often, since veggies and fruits have not so long-lasting fresh taste), this saves me the hassle of going out to the supermarket.
2. I don't have a car, so mobilizing to the supermarket is even trickier and I have to carry all the weight back home, or pay for a taxi which ends up being more expensive than the prices Chris has for the fruits and veggie boxes. Also, I can imagine it being super handy for older people who can't come out of the house much.
3. Last one, and probably the most important one: Chris goes to the Farmer's Market (Mercado de Abastos) to hand pick every single one of the items in the boxes. This is quite helpful, since you know that an expert is choosing the fruits and veggies for you and you can be sure that what you get home is fresh and of good quality!
I don't currently live in Panama, but I'm glad Chris had the initiative to start this sort of business here. I would totally recommend it to people living or coming to visit Panama.
Place your orders 2 days beforehand preferably, you can do this online or over the phone. Chris delivers every Tuesday and Saturday.

99 Pours told the world that the topic for this edition of The Session would be novelty beers in this way:
With the onslaught of even weirder beards…erm…beers…than before, I can't help but wonder if novelty beers are going too far. Or maybe not far enough? LOL! As a merchant of beer, I can see the place for novelty beers, as I am choosing for some customers who say, "I want the strangest beer you have." We've even seen some novelty beers in our top-sellers. But beer traditionalists sometimes frown on these new and bizarre concoctions. And I can't help but wonder if Martyn Cornell will participate, sharing bizarre but notable historic brews.
Which begs the question whether we are discussing weirdness or novelty. In 1988, the introduction of a certain Norwegian lager to the Nova Scotian marketplace was novel as it set itself apart from all other regional macro lagers through that little bit of real pale maltiness that I have since become very familiar with. See, that is the thing with novel. It is novel to me. Hard to say that something is novel to all of beerdom - especially as most people even beer nerds are still exploring possibilities as a matter of practice. For example, when I had Jordan St. John's excellent "hint to Beau's" called Staghorn, a pale ale of some sort with a unique touch of sumac, I knew that while it was incredibly tasty I also knew it was part of a theme, a pattern of recent craft brewing. Making things different. In one former home town, anything that was odd and a bit objected to was received with the semi-glotteral comment "that's diff'urnt" which was, frankly, a sign of somewhat shallow consideration. With good beer, however, being different has sorta become the norm.
So, what is novel when it comes to good beer? Jeff thinks wet hopping qualifies. I'd agree except it is just a variation on late hopping, an age old technique. Stan's recent post on a
wet fresh hop festival may bolster that argument so I am not against the idea. It's just that it's no more novel than the advent of cream ale... or the introduction of kegging for that matter. It is a part of the continuum of advancement. It also denies the association of novel with weird as set out in the question. Weird? Weird for me is beer that requires Rolaids to get through without self-induced pain. Weird for me is Bruocsella 1900 Grand Cru by Cantillon. Yet it is not really novel. But, really, isn't all of Belgium a bit weird and a bit not novel, too?
Think about it. Maybe weird these days is the well made but quiet beer that doesn't scream out with the neediness of the brewery. Maybe not adding testicles or whatever else is getting added is what novel now tastes like.

The Big Questions for Radio Broadcasters
Perhaps we should focus what we are good at and that the public still wants and needs
By Bill McMahon
The Authentic Personality
EAGLE, Idaho — What business are you in? Does your business have a future? These seem like fundamental questions radio broadcasters should be asking themselves right now.
Time spent listening to your AM and FM radio stations is declining precipitously each year. This is particularly true among young people. They've grown up in a world of visual stimuli and conditioning addicted to "screens." They love music, but have minimal attraction to or experience with AM and FM radio. Advertising revenue for AM and FM radio is flat to declining.
There are shiny new high-tech competitors everywhere. Mobile phones and the internet are sucking up massive amounts of consumer time and attention. Pandora, Spotify, YouTube, and other services and apps offer continuous music customized to listeners moods and tastes as well as individual songs on demand. This competition is becoming widely available and easily accessible in cars where the majority of AM and FM radio is consumed.

Dutch Court Rules ISPs Need Not Disclose File Swapper IDs
Categories: BigMedia v. P2P Users • Decisions
English Version of Earlier July 12, 2005 District Court of Utrecht Decision
The Dutch appeals court upheld an earlier District Court of Utrecht Ruling that the method used by the MediaSentry software used to collect IP addresses of alleged Dutch P2P file shares had no lawful basis under European privacy laws. The software scans shared folders on the suspect's hard drive. The Dutch anti-piracy organization, Brein, had requested that 5 Dutch ISPs disclose the name and address of the users of IP addresses identified by the MediaSentry. As is the case with RIAA-initiated lawsuits in the United States, Brein would have used that information to bring copyright infringement actions against the alleged file sharers.

How to ruin a lowcountry redfish trip
Water in the gas tank!
That's water in the bottom, that came out of my fuel/water seperater filter. I picked up bad gas in both my truck and boat on the way down to SC/Fripp Island several weekends ago. My boat stopped in the middle of Trunchards Inlet after catching several nice spotted seatrout on flies. I barely got it started again, after thinking about where my VHF radio and flares were. I took it to a friend in Beaufort for help. We removed that filter, drained the carbs, and installed new plugs. Ran up and down the Beaufort river multiple times. I thought I had it fixed and the very next day it did it again while i was close to Fripp on the Story River. I parked the boat and played vacation/ sunburned beached whale basking in the sun for the next few days. I got back to Knoxville finally via Iowa for a week and yesterday drained the tank, changed the filter, put in various drying agents, new gas and the Flat runs like a new beast..(hopefully)
Moral of the story..keep a full tank(gas sucks in water via humidity and temp changes), add water remover/HEET/Sea Foam, and additive intermittantly to keep this from happening, avoid Ethanol, and above all luck on getting good gas while traveling(the Shell station looked OK)..
PS. The truck did'nt act up until I was climbing Saluda Mt., south of Asheville. The fuel pickup is in the back of the tank so going up hill the water settled and long story there...wife and son rode home with the AAA guy, and I waited 2 hours for a friend to come get me and my boat. BTW, the running lights failed that night and I got pulled by TN HP, but he didn't give me a ticket. I couldn't figure out the fix, so I rode home with my anchor lights on!! What a day!
Otherwise I had a great vacation!
I am a great admirer of spectator sports, especially on television; it keeps the riffraff off the trout streams.
Last edited by Flat Fly n; 07-07-2008 at 10:27 PM.. Reason: Forgot the REST of the story
Thanks for the advice! Dont own a boat yet, lookin for good deal on ctr console/ flats bay boat. Good to know about the ETHANOL problem. i'll be avoidng that for the car. Good luck fishin!

I would love to have fresh multi coloured eggs. So beautiful with the bron and bluey one. I recently bought a dozen whites from Sobeys and everyone of them was a double yolk. Tiny yolks, but double....made me thin what the heck are they doing to these chickens in these big factories. (I don't consider them farms).
There is a farmers market tomorrow here in Florida and I am going to check it out.
I've never has a fresh fig, only the ones that come dried in the package.

Beautiful figs.... and eggs!!! :)
I had to laugh at your question, because you know what is new in my garden? Little balls of cucumbers. I'm afraid that I planted them a little too close together.... my husband says that he's never heard of cucumber balls.... They actually look more like fat eggs.... oh, well, there is always next year...
Enjoy those lovely figs!

Figs right off the tree is my favourite part of visiting my relatives in Italy. We also had persimmons and pomegranates, grapes, and tomato salad every night. I just bought a box of figs at Superstore, not the same but that is all I can do right now. Our garden is loaded with tomatoes and beans.

Our garden has slowed down some but we are getting beautiful zukkini, cucumber and tomatoes. I miss the green beans and tomillo tomatoes. Our chickens are laying some amazing eggs. They started off pretty small but some now make it hard to close the egg carton... No blue eggs as of yet..
Razmatz: We have orgic eggs and treat our girls like family. They have been giving us several double yolks. I dont know why it happens but they are sooo good.

So you mean I don't even have to bring you some because you have your own tree?! And here I thought I have a good excuse to go to your farm even if it's closed. LOL.
My tree is packed too and I ate one fruit out of the 126,854 fruits it has. The other night I saw a raccoon shaking the whole tree. Scared the heck out of me.
We've been giving the fruits away to family friends. Pretty good considering it's like $5 for 3-4 pieces at some produce.

Thanks for your note Jim. I am glad you enjoy the paintings. Angels to me are protective spirits and I have often used them in my work.
You can view additional paintings on my website www.pieromanrique.com.

I enjoy your paintings. Merging Guardian is interesting and Finding a Language are quite haunting. Thanks, Jim
Piero Manrique
Piero Manrique was born in Lima, Peru in 1981. He moved to New York with his family when he was 13. Manrique began painting with oil on canvas soon after arriving in the U.S. He studied fine arts at Purchase College State University of New York before transferring to the Parsons School of Design in New York and graduating with a bachelor's degree in architecture in 2005.
After completing his studies at Parsons, Manrique worked as a designer and project manager for several large New York-based architectural firms while continuing to paint on canvas and exploring other mixed media art forms, including electronic art and sculpture.
In addition to his work as a graphic and visual artist, Manrique is an avid salsa dancer, performer and choreographer. His dance experience infuses his paintings with a sense of fluid energy and an awareness of the grace of the human body.
Manrique calls upon both his dance and his architectural design sensibilities in creating his art. Although grounded by a solid sense of composition, all of his work exhibits the free stream of his imagination. He uses fantastical flights of color to surround and overlay concrete images of individuals, landscapes and animals. His distinctive personal vision of surrealist dreamscapes invites the viewer to appreciate the splendor of the human body in juxtaposition to imagined technology and otherworldly forces.

For those who are unfamiliar with velodrome racing, it is an event that takes place in the Olympics. There are only two indoor velodrome tracks in the United States and one of them happens to be in Boulder, Colorado.
Boulder Indoor Cycling hosts a race night at the beginning of each month. The event is called "First Friday", and this is a video of the races that took place on March 2, 2012. I've watched a lot of velodrome videos on the internet recently and I have not seen too many that are edited to music. Most of the videos are shots from different races varying from POV shots with GoPro cameras or amateur handheld shots of different races.
I wanted to do something different for the cycling industry and wanted to help promote Boulder Indoor Cycling. I edited the video like my other edits using a variety of angles and editing to the music to tell a story.
A big thanks goes out to Artie and the rest of the staff at Boulder Indoor Cycling for hosting a great event and allowing me to film and I hope to do more work like this for the cycling industry in the near future.

Town government supports CPA
With the most recent vote of the finance committee, five branches of town government have signed on to support the proposed adoption of the Community Preservation Act, saying it will bring money back to the town in the form of matching funds for historic preservation, open space, recreation and housing.
The fincom voted unanimously at a recent meeting to support the adoption of the act. The historical commission, conservation commission, the Paxton Housing Partnership and the select board have also voted to support the CPA. The Open Space Committee hopes to put the measure before voters this fall.
Open Space Committee Chair Robert Bertin said the committee wants to finalize details after the June 21 public forum and then begin to garner the necessary signatures to get the CPA on the ballot. Five percent of registered voters' signatures are necessary to get the vote on the ballot.
Public commentary, Bertin said, will help give committee members a sense of how much Paxton residents might be willing to pay to get back their own money from the state coffers.
Committee members say the investment is a small one for the amount of funds it will bring into the town for projects that are on the radar screen. The Paxton Housing Partnership has been working to bring senior housing to town for several years; the recreation commission has proposed a splash park to the capital improvement committee; and historical commission members have long hoped to see some restoration to the Town Hall, White Building and the town common. All those projects are typical of the kind communities can help fund with Community Preservation Act money.
The way it works, however, is what taxpayers object to: the act would allow the town to impose a surcharge of 1 to 3 percent, on real estate taxes. That would amount to $3 to $10 a month on the average $4,000 tax bill in Paxton; the committee could also vote to exempt the first $100,000 in value and exempt low-income taxpayers.
Even with exemptions and a low percentage rate, the town could collect between $50,000 and $170,000 per year to go into a fund that would then be used as Paxton sees fit for projects covered within the parameters of the CPA. Once the town
commits those funds to a project, the state then contributes matching funds. The level of matching funds is 100 percent, though officials have noted that as more cities and towns that sign that percentage could decrease.
That means that for every dollar a Paxton resident contributes, the state is contributing another dollar out of a fund made up of fees the state collects - from Paxton taxpayers, as well as taxpayers throughout the state.
Proponents also point out that Paxton taxpayers contribute to the fund now through state fees, but the money is going out to other communities that have adopted the act, mostly in the Boston area.
If Paxton does support the Community Preservation Act at the ballot box this fall, it will be a first in the Wachusett District. Most recently Sterling voters rejected the act this May, and Holden voters, too, failed to support it when it was proposed in 2004.

The exhibitions section is currently being refreshed, and will be relaunched soon.
In partnership with TGW Solutions
William Morris's place in the history of nineteenth-century design will be examined in this exhibition of over 200 works related to Morris, his circle, and the firm of Morris and Company. Drawn from The Huntington's extensive Arts and Crafts holdings, the exhibit will include stained glass, textiles, designs for wallpaper, embroidery, tapestry, furniture, ceramics, manuscripts, and Kelmscott Press material. A central theme will be the practical and theoretical ideas behind Morris's design activities. For Morris, beauty, pleasure, and work were interrelated ideals, and in his work he attempted to integrate the manual and the intellectual. Groups of objects on display will be assembled to explore the different historical debates and ideas relating to Victorian design and culture with which Morris engaged, such as the gothic revival, medievalism and modernity, the role of women in the arts, and the relationship between socialism and the arts.

Today I started thinking about art in Miami and the first name that came to mind was Romero Britto. Its very difficult to drive around Miami without seeing one of his works. So who is this guy anyway? Romero Britto is an extremely talented pop artist born in Brazil in 1963 who now lives in Miami.
His "talent" is a controversial topic in Miami because the art industry considers Britto to be too commercialized. The question here becomes whether it is acceptable to commercialize your art or not – I personally love the naive nature of it and this Britto is an extremely intelligent man for being able to make money from his art (not something a lot of current artists can do).
One of the best articles I found is by Alex Williams of the New York Times, who describes how Brittos work is found everywhere, including Gloria Estefans home in Star Island, Fort Lauderdale Buses, Miami Childrens Museum, housing complexes, parks, and Metro-Rail stations, to name a few. (I even have a signed lithograph in my dining room! – but Alex doesnt mention that in his article).
OctoberGallery.com makes great mention of Britto including his numerous charitable donations "marked by his experiences amongst the Brazilian poor".
Chosen by the Division of Cultural Affairs to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, Secretary of State Sue M. Cobb announces "Romero Britto is a wonderfully talented artist and a state treasure. We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to exhibit his work in our Capitol."
Britto has designed murals for buildings, posters for events, Absolute Vodka bottles, the Hurricane Katrina Logo Advertisement, Disney Posters, Beaujolais Nouveau wine labels, and even a VOLVO paint job.
South Florida CEO had a great article indentifying different power figures, in which Brittos art is described to "project an image of South Florida to the world".
And lastly¦.dont miss THIS video by CBS-4s Lisa Petrillo about Brittos design for The Superbowls backstage and pre-game show, including the set and costumes for Cirque du Soleil.
I guarantee that the next time you are driving in Miami, you will see Brittos work, all you have to do is open your eyes, Britto is everywhere!

Using a Base Metapackage to Simplify Installation of OpenSolaris
By ckamps on Nov 12, 2009
[Read More]
Since build 126 of OpenSolaris was recently released, it was time to update my Automated Install (AI) server and to verify that the reduced installation profile I had tested using build 125 was still working properly. Overall, the process was straightforward and trouble free.
Updating the reduced OpenSolaris installation took very little time because only 78 MB was needed to update the 200 or so packages installed on my AI server. This is a key benefit of using a reduced installation of an OS: you can dramatically reduce update overhead by downloading and applying updates for only those packages that matter to your particular application. It's also a testament to the pkg(5) system in that it is able to bring down only updated files rather than being forced to always download complete packages.[Read More]
Just over 7 minutes to install a text-oriented, headless server OpenSolaris system from scratch?
This is the next installment in my effort to establish an
efficient development and test environment for experimental OpenSolaris
base installation profiles. In this entry I address how to hook a
heavily reduced form of the OpenSolaris development package repository
into an Automated Installer environment to produce text-oriented, headless server installs of OpenSolaris.
In this post I explain how I've used the pkg(5) system's content retrieval client, pkgrecv(1),
to establish a reduced form of the OpenSolaris development package
repository on a local system for the purpose of optimizing my Automated
Installer (AI)-based installations.
In my recent post on Initial Experiments with Base Install Profiles,
I described how I am using the OpenSolaris Automated Installer and
VirtualBox to experiment with heavily reduced or minimized
installations of OpenSolaris. Use of a local copy of a repository will
dramatically increase the speed of installing these heavily reduced
This post is a follow-on to the entry describing how to set up an OpenSolaris Automated Installer (AI) environment using the JeOS prototype and VirtualBox. In this entry I describe how to use a custom AI manifest representing an experimental base installation profile to install a greatly reduced or minimized form of OpenSolaris in a VirtualBox virtual machine - just ~90 or so packages and an installed footprint of ~570 MB. The resulting installations are text-oriented, headless server installations containing only enough features to enable developers to add more packages and customize the environment to suit their specific needs.
A slightly modified form of the AI manifest can be
used to realize similarly reduced installations in other system
virtualization and bare metal environments.
Experimenting with base installation profiles is part of the OpenSolaris JeOS project's effort to help define a formal base installation profile for OpenSolaris.[Read More]
This entry addresses how to use the OpenSolaris JeOS prototype and VirtualBox as the basis for deploying an Automated Installer (AI) environment. A follow-on entry addresses the use of a custom AI manifest to install a greatly reduced form of OpenSolaris using this environment.[Read More]
Given the popularity of system or server virtualization products and technologies including VMware, Xen, Sun xVM VirtualBox, etc. in addition to Sun's upcoming xVM Server product, partners, prospects and customers often ask whether Sun supports the deployment of our middleware on these environments. Historically, we've provided inconsistent answers to this question. Fortunately, Sun recently released an official support statement to help address this issue.

The Update Center 2 Toolkit project is demonstrating how the Image Packaging System, also known as the pkg(5) System, can deliver the following features for multi-platform layered applications:
This article describes the results of the first of several experiments intended to demonstrate how projects' build environments can be enhanced to deliver pkg(5)-based distributions. In this article we address the first stage of an experiment based on the popular OpenDS project.
Update: As of late 2009, building the pkg(5) form of delivering
OpenDS is available in the official OpenDS source tree and is
documented on the OpenDS wiki. After satisfying a couple of
dependencies, you can
build the packages and download bundle image straight from the official
OpenDS source. See the document Build and Use OpenDS in pkg(5) Format for details.

You Are Here: Home > Essay Topics > Religion Essays and Research Papers > Other Religions Research Paper Topics > Argumentative Paper on Native American Religions
Native American religions do not focus on sin, denial of personal pleasure, or fear of hell to guide them. The Protestant ethic of working and accumulating wealth instead of seeking personal pleasure is missing. Rather, the Native American religions focus on spirituality and spiritual practices. Native Americans generally prefer that strangers not attend spiritual services unless invited, yet many come, take pictures, record, or videotape services without permission. A visitor does not take the Muslim prayer rug home after using it in a mosque, yet many people will take sand paintings, dream-catchers, pipes, or other sacred items from Native American services. Unfortunately, such callous disrespect for Native American culture is a merely a modern manifestation of similar actions in the past.
Christian practices have greatly influenced Native American practices. Flathead and other Plains groups, for example, have incorporated many Christian practices into their own. The sign of the cross, "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit," is translated as, "L'squest's Le-eu u Sku-se u Sant Spahpah-paht. Ko-mee e-tse-hyl." Flathead funerals include wakes, and feast days are celebrated.
Like many tribes, the Flathead have combined Christian and quite often Catholic traditions with their own traditions. A few "Blackrobes" (priests) allowed the Flathead to include some of their own traditions, including peyote and songs, and showed some respect for the Native ways and religion. Catholic hymns, prayers, and rituals were translated into Kalispel dialect, the Salish or Flathead dialect, and others. (The Flathead are also known as the Salish, Bitterroot Salish, and as the Pend d'Oreille or Kalispel.)
Native Americans send their dead to the next life with rituals and practices that reflect their religious beliefs about death and spiritual afterlife; they view desecration of the dead as a serious and offensive act. They believe that disease and even death can befall those who violate the dead and their resting places.
Archaeologists have for generations been digging up human remains to study what was buried with them to learn about cultures. The tombs of ancient civilizations have yielded great knowledge of their cultures. Reportedly, Thomas Jefferson dug up a burial mound in Virginia in pursuit of similar knowledge. Physical anthropologists have long studied Native American skulls and human bones to learn more about our various indigenous peoples. Following the Civil War, the U.S. Surgeon General ordered Army personnel to obtain Indian skulls for study at the Army Medical Museum in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Army acquired heads from Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and Kiowa killed at the Sand Creek Massacre in Colorado. Many other museums soon made comparable acquisitions.
Only in 1990, with passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), were their burial sites protected and a process created for returning their cultural artifacts and human remains. Museums are now slowly returning their inventories of such items, putting an end to what Native Americans considered institutional sacrilege.
