Research Summary
Relationship of Research to Neurological Disease:
Developmental processes may underlie a number of neurological problems. These relate to normal and abnormal development. Many childhood behavioral disabilities may relate to underlying problems in brain development. We find, for instance, that raising neurons from any region of the brain in the absence of glutamate neurotransmitter stimulation results, at a later point in neuronal development, in a hypersensitivity to glutamate, neuronal hyperexcitability (seizure-like activity), and cell death. These problems can be reduced to varying degrees by a number of peptide modulators of glutamate release and response. Another example of clinical relevance is our finding that the primary inhibitory transmitter in the brain, GABA, has excitatory actions after neuronal trauma, potentially resulting in additional secondary brain injury due to the potential loss of inhibition in affected brain circuits. An important theme in the context of this research program is the parallel that occurs between normal development and recovery after neuronal injury. Understanding normal brain development facilitates the understanding of the steps that may occur as neurons recovery from injury.
Extensive Research Description
Current Research Program We are particularly interested in the mechanisms where neurotransmitters in early development may play a role in establishing and stabilizing functional neuronal circuits. To this end we use a variety of approaches including electrophysiology, tissue culture, molecular biology, ultrastructural immunocytochemistry, and digital imaging to study the general question from converging perspectives relating both to neuronal structure and function. A particular area of interest within the brain is the hypothalamus that acts as a homeostatic regulator controlling the endocrine system, biological rhythms, cardiovascular system, and general autonomic tone.

The head of the Transportation Security Administration says the agency will allow passengers to carry small knives onto planes despite a backlash against the proposal. (March 14) AP
The head of the air marshals union says it's "insane" to let passengers carry knives on planes, but the TSA chief says it needs to focus on other, more dangerous, threats.
WASHINGTON — Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole defended his decision to let passengers carry small knives back on board flights Thursday, saying "these are not things that terrorists are continuing to use."
Instead, he told House members on Capitol Hill that airport security officers should be concentrating on non-metal explosives that have the capability to blow a hole in a plane.
Pistole last week announced that passengers could carry on small penknives and some sporting equipment such as two golf clubs, hockey sticks and small, souvenir baseball bats for the first time since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., commended him for the move. "I think it's common sense what you've done," Rogers said.
Not every congressman on the House Homeland Security subcommittee agreed. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., held up a golf club and a hockey stick, asking whether they were dangerous.
"I think it could cause serious harm," Thompson said of the hockey stick.
Many flight attendants, pilots and even air marshals, who fly on commercial planes undercover, have come out against letting the items on board.
George Taylor, president for the federal air marshal service within the Federal Law Enforcement Office Association, said terrorists could figure out how to defeat reinforced cockpit doors with weapons similar to the box-cutters used on Sept. 11, 2001.
"It's just absolutely insane," said Taylor, a 36-year law enforcement officer who has been an air marshal since 9/11. "I don't put my faith in that reinforced door. If it's made by man, it can be broken by man."
"They're very upset," Taylor added, about fellow air marshals. "This is not the time to implement this policy."
Taylor spoke at a news conference outside the Capitol where flight attendants also sharply criticized the policy change. There, Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., threatened a House vote on his legislation to prohibit knives on planes if the TSA doesn't reverse course.
"The TSA policy makes no sense," said Markey, who held up a knife that is allowed with a longer blade than a box-cutter. "It is a dangerous policy."
At the hearing, Pistole showed lawmakers a video of the destructive force of the explosive found on a passenger in December 2009 that destroyed a sheet of plywood between two sawhorses.
"This is what I believe the TSA should be focused on," Pistole said. "It really comes down to how can we best utilize our resources."
He also showed lawmakers a display of small knives with other items that have been allowed since 2005, including scissors with blades less than 4 inches long, knitting needles and screwdrivers less than 7 inches long. He said TSA is still more restrictive than knives allowed in federal buildings.
"Given the overall intelligence, these are not things that terrorists are continuing to use," Pistole said of small knives.
Pistole acknowledged he could have consulted with flight attendants and pilots better before announcing the change in policy. But he said he was confident in his decision. "I think the decision is solid," he said.
SLIDESHOW: : TSA guidelines for pocketknives, sporting equipment
Like in Congress, reaction elsewhere has been mixed to the change. Some security experts and frequent fliers praise reducing prohibited items that distract checkpoint officers from more dangerous ones. But some security analysts have said travelers have grown accustomed to leaving knives out of their carry-on bags, and the policy change isn't necessary.
The Coalition of Flight Attendant Unions, which represents 90,000 workers, has been strongly opposed and set up a White House petition with a link to noknivesonplanes.com.
"Any way you slice it, a knife like this is a weapon, and it doesn't belong on an airplane," said Laura Glading, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, representing 16,000 workers at American Airlines. "His ridiculous position remains unchanged."

Two KKK members in the 1920s. (23139.G291, John Dunning Political Collection, Oklahoma Historical Society Research Division).
At times in the past whites committed violent acts against African Americans. Several lynchings of African Americans occurred in Oklahoma. Lynching is where a group of people murder someone, usually by hanging, instead of going through the legal process of a trial.
The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was a racist secret society that had many members in Oklahoma. They wanted a society with no blacks, Jews, or Catholics. The KKK tried to scare African Americans, especially to keep them from voting. They also got members elected to government positions in order to keep segregation and prevent African Americans from voting.
Tulsa Race Riot
The Tulsa Race Riot occurred in 1921 in the Greenwood district of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Due to segregation this district consisted almost entirely of African American homes, churches, and businesses. For years before the riots tensions between the two races grew. Lynching around the country, happening from the late 1900s to the mid-1920s, led any racial minority to fear lynching and mob mentality.
One day a young African American man named Dick Rowland was accused of hurting a white woman. The sheriff arrested him and took him to the courthouse. An angry white mob gathered outside. They wanted to capture him and hang him before giving him the chance to have a legal and fair trial. Many people in the mob had weapons.
Several African American men heard about Rowland and the growing white mob. They armed themselves with guns. They went to the courthouse on two different occasions to offer the sheriff help protecting Rowland. On the second trip to the courthouse, some white men yelled for an armed black man to hand over his weapon. He refused, a fight began, and a gun went off. This action, in front of the courthouse, was the start of the riot.
View the front page of the
Tulsa World, June 6, 1921
That night there was fighting in the streets. The next morning groups of white men gathered in various locations near the train tracks in Tulsa to attack the African American neighborhood called Greenwood. At dawn they started shooting at African Americans. Many tried to fight back but they were outnumbered. Many fled their homes and were shot. Others were captured and led to detention facilities. White people set fires to homes, churches, and businesses. They also looted, which means stealing, from the homes and businesses before they set them on fire.
Many blacks fled Tulsa during the riot. With all of their neighborhoods and homes burned to the ground, many never returned. Many others stayed. Left homeless, many slept in tents for a long time at the location where their homes once stood. Eventually, they started to rebuild their homes and their community.
Although we can only estimate, the Tulsa Race Riots killed around seventy-five to one hundred people, but possibly as many as three hundred people, left about nine thousand people homeless, and destroyed about forty square blocks in Tulsa. No white Tulsans were ever arrested or tried for their attack on Greenwood.

Renaissance Block Challenge Improving Neighborhoods
Homeowners looking for a way to make renovations more affordable can look to the Renaissance Block Challenge for help.
When the neighborhood revitalization plan was adopted in 2010, it noted that a culture of property neglect was woven throughout the city. Conditions like this undermine confidence in the housing market and discourage investment. The Renaissance Block Challenge was seen as a possible solution to the tendency of homeowners to shy away from making financial investments in their property.
"I came here to work on implementation of the neighborhood revitalization plan shortly after it was adopted," said Peter Lombardi, executive director of the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. "One of the key recommendations in the plan was what they called 'cluster improvement grants.' What the plan had found was that because of the relatively weak real estate market, many homeowners were hesitant to invest in their properties because they couldn't see where they would get that money back. Still today, people are hesitant to invest because they aren't sure if they can recoup that investment when they sell the property. The Renaissance Block Challenge was brought up in the neighborhood plan as a means to boost the confidence of groups of neighbors. If you have a bunch of neighbors in the same area that are fixing their porches, painting their houses that's sort of infectious. When people see other other people making improvements, that hesitation to do the same is sort of washed away by a feeling of obligation."
According to Lombardi, the challenge is designed to provide some financial incentives to reinvest by providing small matching grants up to $1,000 towards painting projects, porch repair projects, landscaping, concrete work and other exterior work.
The true goal of the project is the idea of coordination.
"If you want to participate, then you have to talk to your neighbors," said Lombardi. "The application process requires that you get at least five of your neighbors to come along with you and say that they're interested in making the improvements."
Several neighborhoods have actually come together for the first time because of these grants, according to Lombardi. The Forest Heights neighborhood watch area was formed in late 2011, and one of the first things that they did was hold a meeting to talk about this program.
Over the past two years, there have been 11 neighborhood clusters made up of 90 participating property owners that took part in the Renaissance Block Challenge. A total of $270,000 in total exterior improvements were done, with only $70,000 being paid out as matching grants. This showed that the bulk of investments actually came from the property owners themselves.
"I think that helps to validate the idea that if people get together and agree to improve their properties then it becomes infectious," said Lombardi. "It's something we'd like to see in all parts of the city. It was successful the first two years and we'll be doing it again this year as well. The pre-applications are due on March 29. After that, each participant fills out an application describing what type of improvements they'd like to do. By May, we will have designated the blocks and the property owners spend the summers either doing the work themselves or paying a contractor to do it. Once they're done with the work, they submit invoices and receipts to us and we reimburse them."
The local foundation community has been a driving force for this program, and several local businesses including Chautauqua Brick and Brigiotta's have offered discounts to homeowners looking to make improvements to their property, too.
"We're excited about this year because we've already received a lot of interested inquiries," said Lombardi. "This isn't about big, expensive projects. It's about small, targeted efforts to boost confidence and spur reinvestment by the private sector in the community. I think it's doing exactly what it was designed to do."

I'm a fan of rich sweet perfumes, and as Angel and the like are somewhat out of my price range, I was really pleased to find this little funky silver bottle. Dream smells a lot like purple Quiddity - sweet and spicy - but at a fraction of the price, so I can afford to be generous with it. Technically it contains a deodorant, but I don't think I'd trust it as such - especially in this weather! But as a refreshing perfume spray it is, well, dreamy. It is great for just freshening up ufter a sticky day at the office before heading ut for the evening. It also works really well as a hair perfume.

Lynx 1988 state champs to celebrate 25th anniversary on field
WEBSTER CITY – Can the 1988 state championship Webster City softball team still get it done on the field? We're about to find out.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the state's only champion in 1988 – softball was played as one class only back then – an alumni game will take place at Lynx Field on Saturday starting at 5:30 p.m.
Players from the 1988 squad, coached by former Lynx and Hall of Fame coach Dave Hilton and longtime assistant Jim Adams, will band together to take on an all-star team of Webster City alumni, which will take direction from current Lynx coaches Jess Howard and Kevin and Trish Bahrenfuss.
Scheduled to play for the 1988 team include Jane (Teubert) Pruismann, Michelle (Sundine) Richards, Lisa (Rhodes) Hansen, Amy (Murphy) Beinhart, Jenny Chambers, Julie (Ferrell) Spore, Dawn Kesler, Kathy Pratt, Laura Lee (Garner) Tone, Karen VanDiest, Cheryl Anderson, Tanya (Jahnke) Massey and Kristin Hilton.
Vicki (White) Tomechek, an all-state catcher for the Lynx during their run to the crown, will not play.
The alumni team will consist of Jenny (Wirtz) Cherry, Meredith (Tharp) Bargfrede, Jaime (Brock) Davis, Tara (Flora) Trine, Jessie (Ubben) Pedelty, Cassie (Angstrom) Ihle, Amber (Angstrom) Kastler, BreAnn VanDeer, Breanne Kastler, Melissa Pagel, Heather (Brock) Howard, Erin Anderson, Jamie (Kehoe) Garvey and Joa (Hayes) Rolffs.
VanDeer pitched and Ihle was her battery mate for Webster City when it won the 2001 Class 2A state championship.
Sponsors for the game include First State Bank, Town and Country Insurance, First American Bank, LuAnn Tanner Abens Realty, Seneca Street Saloon, Stony Creek Landscapes, Fareway and Blue Bunny, and Hy-Vee.

OMG! Those look caloriffic! Love Rocky Road anything. I would have never thought to melt chocolate in the CP. You are a slow cooking genius!!
oh man, I'm so going to try this!!! quick question - what is release foil? is that tin foil?
I made your apple oatmeal crockpot recipe yesterday for lunch and it was awesome! That one's going into my 'favorites' binder :-)
thanks :-)
lol on the calories, penguin! If it isn't labeled, it doesn't count, right? ;-)
hi maria, Release is a brand name by Reynold's. It is a treated foil that won't let anything stick to it. If I didn't have that on hand, I'd try parchment paper. I have bad luck with wax paper and stuff sticking.
Has anyone ever told you your a genius? And I just happen to have all of these things in my pantry!! Yippee!
Oh my. Now you are singing my tune!! Whoda thunk?
You have inspired me. I've cooked crockpot meals two days in a row now. It's so easy I can't stand it. And I LOVE smelling the yummy food cook all day! Yesterday I did navajo beef chile and today, pineapple chicken. (The chile was ok--too many onions for our taste, but it tasted similar to our favorite taco soup recipe. I'm sure the chicken will be fabulous--cooking it in pineapple, dijon mustard, soy sauce and some other yummy spices. Will return and report.) PS: you're awesome. =)
omg, i just made these w/almonds-you saved my marriage!
Yet another GENIOUS recipe. I'm currently cooking your "whole chicken" from last week.
You need to write a book. I'm telling you Stephanie, a Crockpot book with these recipes would sell a million copies.
What a fabulous revelation about chocolate in the crockpot. And think about other permutations:
- adding a spoonful (or a few) or peanut butter to the mixture
- chocolate over almonds and dried cranberries, yumm! Maybe you could even make chocolate bark by pouring the melted chocolate over nuts, etc. in a lasagna-style dish
- forget the nuts and marshmallows and just dip fruit or gf pretzels into the crock fondue-style
This does sound awesome yep!!! I'm still stuck on the crème brûlée though!!!
HaHa that's me trying to pig all the chocolate down by myself.
The recipe looks quick and easy can't wait to try it.
and i'm going to need a towel to clean up the drool off my floor. YUM!
My mouth is watering. What a great idea and yummy recipe--thanks for sharing!
Wow that looks so good.
oh NO YOU DIDN't...oh lord..you sure did...
Damn I wish I'd have seen this earlier today! Have to try this one out...Thanks!
this sounds great and easy (my favorite kind of recipe). One question, you use milk chocolate chips, right?
Hi Jerri,
these were terribly easy! I used semi-sweet chips, but milk chocolate would be great too. It's completely up to you.
WOW!! I am so going to make these with almonds, marshmellows and raisins!! Thank you!! I also must eat gluten free, and I love all your recipes!! I have made several of them!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!
here's a similar recipe that everyone loves!
12 oz. bag of semi-sweet choc. chips
12 oz. bag of white choc. chips
1 package vanilla bark (broken in pieces)
1 lb. dry roasted peanuts (salted or unsalted)
1 lb. cashew pieces (salted)
dump it all in the crock. stir it up after an hour or so. when it's all melted together drop by rounded tablespoons onto wax paper or release foil and allow to cool.
i have packaged this in clear cellophane bags and sold it for bake sales. we have also put it in glass jars with decorative lids and given it to our neighbors at christmas. it's SO GOOD!
I've made these twice this week with different ingredients and both times my marshmallows melted into the chocolate and didn't stay all pretty and marshmallowy (like yours in the picture) even when I tried to work more quickly. While they still TASTE delicious, they sure don't LOOK as lovely and giftable as yours. I could keep experimenting but since I am "forced" to eat my mistakes, that may not be my wisest move. Any advice?
Thanks from a new fan (-:
Hi Dyane,
oh no! When you check after 30 minutes, give a stir. Even if the chocolate chips still have their shape, they might have begun to melt. If so, stir well, take off heat, and add marshmallows and nuts. Stir just to coat the marshmallows and nuts.
I hope this helps, some!
These look so yummy!!! Got me to wondering if you've tried rice krispie squares in the crock?
Also, have you considered going for year 2? Love your blog!!! Trying one of your recipes tonight!
I made this for my husband and wound up eating half of it myself.
Since he doesn't like regular chocolate, I used a mixture of white chocolate and reese peanut butter chips.
Seriously addicting.
Oh, and here's a tip: parchment paper works fabulous for releasing candy.
I'm excited to try this... I think I am going to make it up and give it to the admins at work for Admin professional's day!
Well, chocolates don't look as pretty as yours do but they are tasty. This is for the VD dinner I am making for my honey. It is also the second recipe from your blog in as many days. Love the Blog and your creativity. The Creme Brulle is next!
I think the secret to "pretty" chocolates is to get the crock out of the heating element immediately. I have one of those old fashioned ones that doesn't separate, so I scooped my chocolate mixture into a bowl right away and then added my marshmallows and nuts to it. They turned out exactly as advertised! LOVE THEM! Thanks bunches!
I "needed" some chocolate earlier so I whipped up a batch of these. They were really easy to make and pretty tasty - but I might add a bit of peanut butter, or maybe a bit of vanilla to the melting chocolate next time.
Could you use chopped up larger marshmallows?
The minis are often very very hard and dry.
Thanks for any assistance.
hi anon, absolutely! chopped up marshmallows would certainly work the same way.
These look great! I know it's after Valentine's Day but I still want these!!
Post a Comment
Thank you for your comment! I will try my hardest to answer questions as they come up, but if your question gets buried, you may try me on twitter or facebook.
Happy Slow Cooking!

Recently some advocates of human rights in the Middle East have begun to suggest that the loss of the Bush administration's focus on democratization has been taken by autocratic rulers as an invitation to turn back the clock on political rights. This seems to be the case in Kuwait, which has recently imprisoned the democracy activist Khaled AlFadala and the journalist Muhammed Al-Jasem for criticizing the government. The Obama administration has voiced concern about the Al-Jasem prosecution but has thus far been silent about AlFadala.
How is the Obama administration planning to make clear its commitment to promoting human rights in the Middle East?

I think that it is important to understand, as the speakers have pointed out, that statements and actions from the variety of sectors from among Muslim communities have indeed distanced Muslims from the actions of radical Muslims. But it is also important to look carefully at the content of those statements.
It would appear that the content of at least some of those statements contains equivocations or implicit denials that would limit the purported repudiations. The presence of such means to deal with terrorism, frankly, is rather transparent -- in those instances -- and tends not to increase confidence in the statements issued and by extension, decrease confidence in the individuals or organizations expressing those sentiments.
Thank you.

Pushy "snowplow parents" are afflicting schools, writes Ole Jorgenson, head of a private school, in the San Jose Mercury News.
Gen Xers orchestrate every move of their preschoolers, from perfect play dates and obsessively healthy diets, to instructional flashcards and hypoallergenic socks.
Once school starts, Gen X parents may become upset to discover other students doing more advanced work than their own, demanding a meeting with the principal about why the teacher is "letting their child fall behind." Of course the parents have done their research, identified the problem, and it's clearly the school's fault that their child is "underperforming" — in kindergarten.
"Helicopter parents" hovered. "Snowplow parents" knock "all potential obstacles out of their children's paths to pack their young résumés with successes," Jorgenson writes. And that may mean bulldozing the teacher or the principal.
In the mid-1980s, when he was a young teacher, most parents would cooperate with the school in dealing with a child's problem behavior. There was a home-school partnership. Now 75 percent of parents resist.
Jorgenson is head of Almaden Country School, a respected private school in San Jose that charges $15,710 tuition at the middle-school level. It has a "whole child" philosophy, but also brags about high test scores. I wonder if affluent private-school parents are pushier than affluent public-school parents.

A new study finds a majority of pools contain E. coli bacteria. Here's what you should know.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has some news to share with you, and it kind of stinks: 58 percent of the public pools they tested last summer had genetic material from E. coli bacteria. In short, there�s poop in a lot of public swimming pools. And with most public pools kicking off swimming season next week, that�s not the kind of news we�re excited to hear. We�ll spare you the gory details about how the E. coli gets into the pools (if you�re dying to know, you can get the full story here) and cut to the chase. Here�s what the CDC recommends to ensure you have a good, HEALTHY swim (spread the word � ). Swimmers should always shower before going in the pool, never swallow pool water, skip the pool if you have diarrhea and, if you�re taking children to the pool, take potty-trained kids to the restroom every hour and check diapers every 30-60 minutes. If you�ve not officially sworn off swimming in public places, put on your seatbelt because the public pools aren�t the only germy locales. Grab the disinfectant and check out 7 more germy spots.

Similar to cats, dogs that are in overall good pet health tend to have coats and skin that shine and are free from mange or other skin infections. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, a dog's coat should be shiny and smooth, rather than brittle or coarse. Its skin should be supple and clear instead of greasy, bumpy or flaky with dander.
Dogs' skin and coats often vary depending on their breed, how often they are groomed and the type of dog food they eat. Owners need to understand what type of hair their dog has and what their coat should look like when healthy. Some dogs have hair that grows and doesn't shed - these dogs require numerous haircuts and grooming in order to maintain shine and thickness. Other breeds such as huskies and retrievers, have long thick coats with under coats for insulation during the winter. These breeds tend to go through heavy shedding or coat changes twice a year - in the late spring and late fall - to prepare for either the heat in summer or cold in winter. Owners may need to groom them more with brushes that go through both coats in order to reduce how much hair ends up in their homes as well as remove excess hair that could tangle. Selecting the proper grooming brush is important to maintain skin and coat health.
Feeding dogs a balanced diet also contributes to skin and coat health. Dogs need food that has highly digestible proteins, carbohydrates, fats and a proper amount of minerals and vitamins to thrive. Diets supplemented with omega 3 fatty acids can also help support excellent skin and coat health. Ask your veterinarian if this supplement might be right for your dog.

Officials do not listen
I write this letter to you as I sit here pondering a question that has been rattling around in my head for quite some time.
It's about our elected officials. Mainly those in Washington, D.C., but there are those in the Michigan state government as well. My points involve those of other states as well, but I have noticed that if it doesn't effect our home, most do not care, so I will try to avoid mention of those persons.
We have a president who continually lies to us. He hides simple information from us.
He takes more vacations than most corporate CEOs, with a larger expenditure than most. He makes constant attempts to bypass our Constitution, while calling it a problem for bringing about "fundamental change" to the United States.
He writes Executive Orders like they're going out of style, and with the intent to bypass Congress when he cannot get a law or laws passed as he pleases. There's more, but I don't want to make this too long to print.
We have those in Congress who refuse to follow the laws they put in place for us, or specifically writing in exemptions for themselves from the laws they write for us.
They tell us spending is out of control, and that they are trying to fix it. They try to make us believe it is our fault spending is like this.
They tell us those people who are supposed to be our heroes and role models are the most likely to be terrorists. They fill us with fear of inanimate objects, of ideas, of patriotism, and tell us our freedoms cannot be protected unless we give them up.
This is like saying we cannot enjoy our money unless we give it to someone else to spend.
They allow the Federal Reserve to print money to no end, with the excuse it will bring prosperity to our people, and stimulate our economy to bring us back to our glory, when in reality it is causing the collapse of the dollar.
This is proven by the fact that McDonalds, the corporation; and Australia, the country, have begun trading in Chinese currency. This is a first since the dollar became the international currency for trade. They are losing faith in the dollar because of the things our elected officials are doing.
Our elected officials do not listen to us, and blame us for the things they do. Are you buying things for the country? Are you sending money to the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt, China, Somalia, Pakistan, and several other countries?
Are you funding studies on the reaction of flies to varying species' feces? This last may not be happening, but several, more ridiculous studies are being funded by them every day.
We did not ask them to spend our money like this, but they are. We ask them to represent us, our interests, and our ideals. They represent their own.
To get to the point, I wonder what we can do? Some say, "Vote 'em out."
To what end? To vote someone else in who is less bad? Often we are given a choice between someone with no credibility (destroyed by the enemies), someone with a horrible history, or the incumbent, who probably just did something nice to make us like him/her again.
Voting does not work. How do we fire these people for refusing to do their jobs? How do we fix the broken system that we have gotten stuck in?
Republicans and Democrats… Just names given to people who wish to become part of the elite. They have some differences.
They differ in who they are receiving kickbacks and contributions from, therefore who they help. None of them live in our world. They violate Constitutional law, as well as state and federal laws, with zero repercussions. They withhold information that is subpoenaed by the Supreme Court.
How do we get them out? Why are they still there?
I've thought that a peaceful march of an almost uncountable number of citizens upon D.C., walking in to the offices and telling them to leave may be an option, but I am not sure of the legality of keeping them out, nor do I think we would be able to even reach them if we assembled.
Secret Service and the D.C. police would probably keep us out.
I ask you, are they there because you all feel as I do, that there is no fix? Do you feel as if your voice does not matter? What I would love to hear is a solution that can work, with no violence, and no detainment for any participants.
Any suggestions?

Topic: Missing Input Box when using Scaffold

Has anyone had an issue with a missing input box when they're using the scaffold generator?
I tried deleting and recreating the database to no avail.
What do you mean by missing input box? Can you give a concrete example?
Sure. The first field works fine, but the second field doesn't display when using the scaffold code:

Migraine symptoms

<input id="journal_migraine_symptoms" name="journal[migraine_symptoms]" size="30" type="text" />

Migraine time to relief

That's a section of the HTML generated by the scaffold code:
<%= start_form_tag :action => 'create' %>
<%= render :partial => 'form' %>
<%= submit_tag "Create" %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
For some reason it didn't get updated in the _form partial:

Migraine symptoms

<%= text_field 'journal', 'migraine_symptoms' %>

Migraine time to relief

I can fill it in myself, I'm just wondering if it's a bug.
I've never seen it add a label without adding a field too. It does sound like a bug. What type of column is migraine_time_to_relief in the database?
At first I made the data type "time" (I'm using rails migrations).
Then I changed it to "integer" and it still had a problem.
I may go back and try to reproduce the problem starting from scratch.
Thanks for your help, but I do have one more question regarding the << operator in this case. Shouldn't that operator have made the row in the locations table with a null value for everything except the phone_id and user_id columns. Even though the rest of the data is not there, I would still expect the join to get created. Is there a way to use the << operator to create the associated rows?

Greeting all. I bump into this place thru my friend. So just hang out here from time to time as more activities here. So do start up, I usually brew my tea when I am at home. I enjoy it more when I am at home. As most of my tea gear is at my home. But now I have acquire a travelling teapot will see how many adventure we will have.
Currently, I am switching focus from ripe pu er to tky as working location have more of that tea. I figure might as well take the opportunities to "experience it". My next purchase would most likely be tea cups. Just tea cup.
I don't really have favourite tea but generally i switch around tea or drink in a course.
My first tea would most probably be an old tin of oolong tea and shuixian which I bought since 1998.
That's all folks!! Laterz!

Navy Wraps Up MQ-8C Ground Testing
|MQ-8C ground tests.
Northrop Grumman engineers powered up the aircraft's rotor blades for the first time Friday, as the company looked to collect enough data to ensure the Scout's systems are functioning properly ahead of its upcoming first flight.
"Completion of these tests signifies our steady progress toward the first flight of the MQ-8C Fire Scout," said George Vardoulakis, vice president of medium range tactical systems at Northrop Grumman.
The Navy currently has the company under contract to produce an MQ-8C for deployment beginning next year. According to a spokesperson for Northrop Grumman, the first flight of the MQ-8C is scheduled for October.

Consider Stocks From 'The Land Down Under'
We are cautiously optimistic about the U.S. economy for 2013 and hopeful that a last minute resolution of the fiscal fandango will surface between the cantankerous political factions before 2012 ends. In case something less than encouraging unfolds, it may be in our best investment interests to look overseas.
Let me state now that I have a surprise for you at the end of this article. It's a kind of "holiday treat" worth watching and listening to, so keep reading.
One of the strongest economies isn't one of the world's largest. In fact it is often forgotten because it's not regularly talked about in the mainstream media. Although by land mass it's one of the largest nations, by population it doesn't even rank in the top 20.
Unlike the U.S. and Europe, Australia is booming! With immense natural resources and boatloads of foreign money waiting to be invested in Australian assets and companies, the immediate future still looks exceptionally bright.
Take a look at the one-year chart of the iShares MSCI Australia Index ETF (EWA) . EWA has had an impressive run, but as you can see the volume has been steadily going down since September 2012.
The ETF has a current dividend yield of 4.45%. Over 12% of the holdings of the fund are represented by the natural resources, mineral and energy conglomerate BHP Billiton (BHP) , which alone has a dividend payout that yields around 3% at a price of $76.
The second-biggest holding in EWA is Commonwealth Bank of Australia , representing over 10% of the fund's assets. Commonwealth Bank trades on the Australian Securities Exchange . Most of the other holdings are headquartered in Australia except U.K.-based Rio Tinto Ltd (RIO) .
>>Also see : Jim Cramer and Stephanie Link actively manage a real money portfolio for his charitable trust- enjoy advance notice of every trade, full access to the portfolio and deep coverage of the latest economic events and market movements.
RIO, which represents less than 3% of the fund's assets, is in the business of finding, mining, and processing mineral resources worldwide. Its businesses include operating open pit and underground mines, mills, refineries and smelters, as well as various research and service facilities.
Like many of the Australian natural resource companies or the banks that finance them, RIO is involved in the mining and production of aluminum products, including bauxite, alumina and copper. RIO also mines thermal and coking coal, uranium, iron ore, gold, molybdenum, silver, nickel and diamonds.

What is the difference between a spa and hot tub?
Today, there is virtually no difference between the label of "hot tub" and "spa." Originally, hot tubs were made of wood; but through time, manufacturers began making them with plastic-type materials such as acrylic and wanted to differentiate the name, so the name "spa" was used to refer to the newly-evolved tubs. Most hot tub suppliers use the two labels interchangeably, but the hours of pleasure the product provides is the same!
Should I purchase an indoor or outdoor spa?
Consider the following:
Indoor Spa - advantages
- Can be used anytime within the day or year
- No need for a spa cover
- Offers more privacy
- Comes in variety of sizes to fit room
Indoor Spa – disadvantages
- Can be troublesome to transport/implement into house
- Extreme moisture can influence a room's exterior structure so extra ventilation may be necessary
- Waterproof floor needed and spa warrants the ability of the floor to withstand the weight
Outdoor Spa – advantages
- Enjoyment of outdoor scenery (even during colder months)
- Less troublesome to transport/implement into yard
- Availability of multiple users and visitors
- Can be implemented into enclosed fixture such as gazebo to imitate indoor setting
Outdoor Spa – disadvantages
- Warrants spa cover
- Additional cleaning is needed due to outdoor debris
- Usage may be limited due to weather conditions
Can my outdoor spa be placed in-ground?
Yes, most portable spas can be placed in-ground. Some people supplement a pool purchase with that of a spa, so both can be implemented at the same time. The in-ground process is more involved, thus likely costing additional money for any needed electrical and plumbing work.
How many people can fit in a hot tub?
Hot tub manufacturers showcase the number of possible occupants along with other initial information. Consider the overall comfort of your occupants. It is wise to overcompensate for intended users when purchasing a multi-person spa.
What kind of spa features should I consider?
Spas and hot tubs come with many stock and added features. Some things to consider:
- Number and power of implemented jets
- Occupancy size and level of comfort
- Added amenities such as am/fm radios, TVs, and DVD players
- Power of implemented pumps and air blowers
Spa and Hot Tub Buying Tips
- Think about intended usage. This helps deciding upon an outdoor or indoor spa, what size, desire of added features, and ultimate price – bigger spas with more features are more expensive.
- Carefully review the warranty. A warranty is a testament to the manufacturer's confidence in their product.
- Look for offers of free shipping.
- Consider acrylic molding. These types of shells are mid-to-high end, yet are very durable and withstand the test of time. In addition, they come in variety of shapes and colors, so you are sure to find something that suits your needs.

"Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life. "
Hawker Beechcraft's King Air C90GTI
DETROIT FIGURED THIS OUT a long time ago. Take your basic family sedan, stick a hot motor under the hood and badge it with sporty-sounding initials like RT or SS and voilà: You sell more cars at higher prices. Around 2004, a similar thought occurred to some folks at what is now Hawker Beechcraft regarding the venerable six- to seven-passenger 90-series King Air twin-turboprop, an airplane that has been in production in one form or another since 1964. What they came up with was the C90GT, which boasted more powerful engines with lower operating temperatures that improved performance-35 knots more speed and faster climb times.
In 2007, the manufacturer replaced the GT with the current C90GTi-the same airplane, only with jet-like Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 glass-panel avionics and a $3.3 million sticker price.
The King Air can trace its roots back to the 1930s, when Walter Beech introduced the Model 18, arguably the first cabin-class twin-engine business airplane. In 1958, Beech debuted the Queen Air, an aircraft that remarkably resembles today's King Air, save for the square passenger windows and piston engines. By the late 1960s, Beech commanded a 77-percent share of the business twin-turboprop market. The company's efforts gave rise to an entire family of larger, more powerful business and commuter turboprops.
But as the King Air morphed into a multitude of models-including the 100, 200, 300 and 350 and the 99 and 1900 series commuter airliners-the 90 series languished, growing gradually in heft and wingspan as it progressed through the alphabet-until the F model in 1979. The F was sort of like what might happen when the Discovery Channel's Monster Garage meets an airplane. Beech engineers took the fuselage of the C90 and combined it with the wing of the A100 and the T-tail from the B200 King Airs. Then they hung a pair of more powerful, 750-shaft-horsepower PT6A-135 engines on it. Cruising speed jumped to 267 knots and the F90 was an instant hit.
Eventually 236 of them would be made. But the 1981 recession and the growth of Cessna's Citation fanjet line tore the bottom out of the business turboprop market. And it didn't help that Beech had gone overboard with bifurcating its own product line and was then offering six King Air models, including three flavors of 90s. Some King Airs, like the F90 and the more expensive and larger 200, were perceived as competing directly against each other. So when Raytheon took over Beechcraft in 1982, the knives came out. The company reduced the number of available King Air models to three and steered prospective F90 customers up the food chain. By 1985 the F90 was toast, but the slower C90 remained in production.
Yet the idea of hanging hot motors on a C90 never really went away. Earlier this decade, when the prospect of an invading armada of very light jets once again threatened the market viability of the 90 series, Beechcraft reached back into its old playbook. The original GT was billed as a VLJ killer. Flash back four years. While many VLJ makers were selling future promises, what we in the industry charitably call "vaporware," Beech had a new airplane ready to go that cruised at 310 miles per hour.
COMPARED WITH A TYPICAL VLJ, the GT gave you a larger airplane with a cabin big enough for six to seven adults sitting in comfortable, adult-sized seats and pressurized baggage space capacious enough for several of Zsa-Zsa's full-size roll-ons, hat bags and many sets of golf clubs. You got a nice big airstair main cabin door aft of the wing. You got a twin that sat high off the ground on beefy landing gear and was built like an M-1 Abrams tank.
This is an airplane you can land on an insanely short and rough grass strip or a gravel bar without having to file an accident report afterward. (When I flew one last summer, we managed to take off in 2,200 feet and land in about 600 with full flaps, aggressive prop reverse and firm braking.) And in 2006, you could get a GT for $2.9 million, about $500,000 more than you'd pay for a Cessna Citation Mustang jet but a cool million less than the price of a single-engine turboprop Pilatus PC-12 and about the same price as a new-and much smaller-TBM 700.
The strategy worked brilliantly: In 2006, its first year of full production, the GT outsold its slower predecessor, the C90B, by almost two-to-one. The GT's new engines delivered more speed and better high-altitude/hot-temperature performance and cut climb-to-altitude times by 35 to 50 percent. At full power, the big Hartzell four-bladed propellers rotated slower than on the C90B, reducing component wear and tear and, just as importantly, the decibels in the passenger compartment. You can actually conduct a conversation back there now without shouting-even at takeoff power.
King Airs have long been a mainstay for Hawker Beechcraft and they remain so in the current down economy. Last year, the company delivered 172, and of that number 66 were C90GTis, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, making it the company's best-selling model of any of its aircraft-piston, turboprop or jet. And it's no wonder. The more powerful engines teamed with the Pro Line 21 avionics make it an easy and pleasant airplane to fly even single-pilot. Operating economics are good for a twin. The GTi will burn about 77 gallons per hour at 24,000 feet and cruise power. King Air construction is about as bulletproof as an airplane gets.
But the feature that continues to sell this airplane year after year is the big cabin and its large oval windows. You enter up the aft airstair door. The netted baggage hold and belted potty seat (enclosure optional) are conveniently on your right, a single-place side-facing kibitzer faces the door, and to the left is a club-four grouping of facing slide-swivel and reclining executive seats that share two large pull-out sidewall tables big enough for large laptops. The sidewall ledges contain two cup holders for each passenger in this area (they're not deep enough, but it's the thought that counts). The aft left club seat can be reclined to full berthing.
Cabin lighting and air gaspers are functional and within easy reach. The cabin has a variety of small storage nooks, cabinets and drawers and built-in hot and cold jugs for beverages. The four-foot, nine-inch-high cabin isn't exactly stand-up, but it's not munchkinland either. The list of available in-flight entertainment options is rather sparse, but popular items such as XM Radio and sideledge-mounted video monitors are available through Hawker Beechcraft service centers for after-purchase installation.
A GTi with pilot and four passengers can fly from Chicago Midway to Teterboro, N.J., nonstop in two and a half hours, but this isn't really a long-haul airplane. However, Hawker Beechcraft is increasing its range and payload capabilities in 2010 with the debut of the C90GTx, basically a GTi with winglets and better weather radar, for an extra $300,000. Compared with the GTi, the GTx will fly 200 miles farther and carry 350 pounds of additional payload with full fuel. The winglets will be retrofitable to all existing C90 series aircraft. Thanks to these kinds of technology upgrades, even 45 years after it was first delivered, the 90 series King Air remains a top performer.
Mark Huber welcomes comments and suggestions at: email@example.com.
Why have twin turboprops continued to lose market share since 2006? (currently at 17% for General Aviation?).
Further, why have King Air general aviation shipments declined so rapidly since 2008? (from 172 in 2008 to 90 in 2010 to 55 in 2011?).
I appreciate your insight, thank you.

From three-ring circus feats to cabanas on the beach, Sarasota is a slice of Florida paradise. The pristine white sand beaches (no oil here!) are as endless as the horizon, while the artful soul of the city releases an exuberance on the people that dives deeper than the omnipresent sea lapping the shores. This is a place where life is enjoyed.
When visiting Sarasota, there is only one place to stay: The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota. The resort mixes the nuance of the Gulf Coast's casual lifestyle with sophisticated flair, making any stay, be it a handful of nights to take in a show or an affair stretching on for weeks, truly memorable. The 266 deluxe rooms and suites are like a luxe home away from home, and the RItz-Carlton Club Level guestrooms provide guests with a private lounge to gather day or night. The Cà d'Zan Lounge is a popular meeting place for cocktails and live music; the views from the veranda are worth a stop alone.
The Members Beach Club, located just a few miles from the main resort, claims a stretch of Lido Key's white sand beaches for its own. Lido Key is home to pristine beaches that remain cool to the touch no matter how hot the weather may be. With two pools and recreational activities for children, the Members Beach Club is a great place to spend the afternoon with the family, while just off-property, the Lido Key Tiki Bar, a Sarasota landmark, will have you living by island time in no time.
For golfers, the Members Golf Club features a Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course which spreads out along 315 acres of untrammeled land. Since the course is a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, the chance of seeing birdies is pretty high, even if your golf game is somewhat lacking. The Golf Caddie Concierge program makes the course a breeze. A personal caddie accompanies golfers, a handy commodity when coming to those blind green shots.

My Weekend of Summer Slaughter, Knotfest, & 24th Birthday Celebration
Hey guys,
As I've been promoting that I was going to Summer Slaughter and Knotfest all before my 24th Birthday on Sunday.
It started off ridiculously shitty. I woke up with an incredibly sore throat and overall just a really shitty cold. I was starting to think I couldn't go. But I just thought to myself I will pick up some cold medicine on the way there and I'll be fine. So I picked up some cold medicine and downed a lot of it just to get through the day.
So we got to The Rave at 1pm, about an hour and a half faster then i thought we would so we went to Taco Bell to cool off and relax before going into The Rave. And that's where the fun began.
I started making the phone calls I needed to do interviews throughout the day. The first one who answered back, Alex, The sound guy for Periphery. We went straight into Periphery's RV and everyone was sitting up front. I got to interview Jake Bowen. Everyone else left, EXCEPT Misha who wanted to stick around. in the beginning of the interview I made a major fail and called Jake, Alex, because that's who i last talked to on the phone, We all had a good laugh about it. 11 minutes later a great interview was done, and Misha did a great unrecorded Jig dance about how much he loves Jimmy John's. Both Alex the tour manager, Misha and Jake thanked me very much for, in their words, the ebst interview they've had in 2012. And then cited instances of people asking 'What is Djent" and "Where did you get the name Periphery?"
I then got a call back from cannibal corpse's tour manager saying I would be interviewing Paul at 5pm. So I thought that would be awesome.
We went inside The Rave and then shit started to really suck. I showed the security guards my press pass and they throughly frisked me as if I faked the pass. The reached into my pocket and grabbed my wallet which had a chain on it. I had this wallet since my Grandpa died and he gave it to me about 2 days before he died of cancer. The security guard told me to throw away the chain. 15 MINUTES later I finally got the chain off my wallet the security guard grabbed it out of my hands and threw it away.
The next security guard thought I faked my photo pass and said "What are you a dumbass? That's a sticker. You WEAR IT." And while I was about to say "ok" He grabbed it out of my hand unpeeled the back and slapped it on my chest pretty damn hard.
After that whole ordeal. The band Reflections who opened the show was just about done. They are a MN local band who opened about 5 shows on Summer Slaughter and are on the verge of signing with Sumerian Records. Yes they are very Djenty but I like their sound alot.
Cerebral Bore was next and they were very damn good, despite some shitty sound problems.
Within The Ruins was next during their set I went to go pickup a Periphery Hoodie for 20 bucks, you just can't beat that. And from that point on except for interviews, I stayed up on the second floor. One for better phone reception by open windows and there was seats up there.
Exhumed was next and they were damn Brutal. One of the best bands of the day.
After Exhumed was Goatwhore but I didn't get to see them as I was needed at cannibal Corpse's tour bus. After trying to go outside I was told I would not be allowed in if I went outside. I told them what was going on, they asked for my pass. I showed it to them and they still said no. So I had to text their tour manager and explain what happened. Their tour manager said "Fuck them, I'll help you out." He came to me by the doors and escorted me to Cannibal Corpse's tour bus, Where I was then told that Paul wasn't up for an interview, but Rob was.....I had no planned for Rob. I love him, he's a hell of a guitarist, but I had all my questions prepared for Paul.
The interview went....well Brutal. Rob is an intense Southern guy. He was cool as shit, but it went very odd. Not as bad as Volbeat was, but still very odd. and when you hear it you'll understand.
After being escorted backstage where all the bands were hanging out. I made it back in time to somewhat see Job for A Cowboy's set. But during their set I had to make more phone calls so I had to miss about 3/4s of their set. scheduling everything else that night.
Then came Veil Of Maya who are good at what they do, but just not my bag. Which worked out since Matt Harvey of Exhumed called me back about our interview. Matt is one of the coolest dudes in Death Metal period! We had the coolest conversations about Death Metal both on and off the mic. Where he left me in on some insider info that will be coming out this week. So I'll leave it at that. But I will say this will not be my last time hanging out with Matt.
After Veil Of Maya, JFAC's tour manager called me and I met Jonny by the doors and we went downstairs into one of the unused green rooms. We had a 20 minute discussion about the state of music today, and it was one of the most intellectual interviews I've ever had. It was amazing to me. I've been a huge fan of the band, although i don't show it off often, ever since the Doom EP and I belive they've only gotten better and better over the years. And he really appreciated that I was an interviewer who actually knows what the fuck I'm talking about.
After that I caught the last song from Periphery where Spencer was on fucking FIRE. Anyone who hates his vocals for being too whiny has never heard him live....or the new album.
Then came The Faceless and they fucking ruled. Playing songs from all 3 albums and no one missed a single note.
BTBAM was next, where the tour manger for both Veil Of Maya and THe faceless texted me and said Veil of Maya can't do an interview but Michael is ready after BTBAM's set. So I was stoked for that.
BTBAM was my favorite band of the night. Starting off with White Walls wwas unexpected but fucking awesome. I recorded their whole set from where I was sitting on the second floor. I haven't had the chance to check it out yet, but with the Zoom Mic I used I'm sure it turned out great.
Cannibal Corpse was up next and right before that I got a text from the TM of The Faceless and Michael couldn't do the interview anymore...but Wes Could. So I got even more stoked.
I did the interview outside with Wes and he is suck a fucking cool dude. about 4-5 minutes into our interview. Spencer from Periphery came over with a very sexy girl he found for Wes to "Hang Out" with that night. and Didn't realize we were doing an interview so it's all on Audio. So I convinced Spencer to stay for about a minute but he was embarrassed as all hell. After that Wes and I kept going with the interview and he couldn't have been more of a humble guy. There is reason why he is my favorite member of the band besides Evan Brewer.
So after that, I didn't wanna go back in for Cannibal Corpse since I thought Iwas going to see them at Knotfest tomorrow. They played Evisceration Plauge as we left. We didn't get home till 4:50am 10 hours of traveling and 11 hours of Summer Slaughter. I was up for 21 hours with no food and one cup of water. FUUUUUUUUUUCK
Then came Saturday.........
I woke up to found out that neither Prong nor Dillinger Escape Plan could do interviews anymore due to scheduling conflicts. So I thought I couldn't go anymore. SO I got shitfaced instead having a leiter of German beer. my plan for Saturday was to get shitfaced watch Dirty Work with my band, thenw e go see The Expendables 2, then try to find a lday or two for my birthday.
That Didin't happen...
At 3:30pmm I got a call saying that I just got a photo Pass to take pictures of all the bands for Knotfest and to get there ASAP. so I sobered up the best I could and Drove to Somerset. (yes I was sober when I drove, I'll never drunk drive) And yes, no Dillinger Escape Plan, Gojira or Prong for me.
I got to Knotfest, and who'd a thunk it......Cannibal Corpse was playing Evisceration Plague....if you were paying attention above, the song I left during the night before. haha
I decided to go to the mainstage as I couldn't get to take pictures in front of the rail because I got to CC late. So I was front row center for Serj.
My best friend int he world was there with a college friend of his. so it made the wait worth it. Since I was on the rail. going in front of the rail was meaningless so I just stayed there and took pics of Serj. Serj is a great frontman and writes great music, that said I hate his lyrics. I hate overuse of politics on either side in heavy use. I have my own mind for politics. I had a good time during his set, but the night only got better for me from that perspective.
Machine Head was next and I got to the guard rail too late, apparently you had to be there right before the band gets on stage. not any time after. So I just decided to go to the bathroom instead and watch from afar not to get my ass kicked. that's where I found the motherload. Rockstar Energy Drinks......ALL YOU CAN DRINK! I slammed about 5 of them which lasted the night.
Machine Head was fucking awesome playing every song you'd want off the last three albums, and Davidian.
Deftones came on next, my first time in front of the guard rail taking pics. And my first time seeing The Deftones. I was suppose to see them on the last Summer Sanitarium tour, but Chino decided that he was too high to go on stage and they cancled their set. This time however, while not being a big fan of them anymore, they put on a great high energy show. but after the first three songs. I went to the side stage to take pics for the almighty Lamb of God. Before I left over there the blonde musician from Slipknot out of costume stood next to me and offered me some Cheese Curds. That's fucking Metal
Then it started to rain, really fucking hard, it sucked but it felt refreshing at the same time. When the band got on stage everyone went fucking crazy. Instead of taking pics, I took video of the first song, Desolation. then for the next two songs took pics. LOG was fucking awesome and I'm glad they played, they deserve to be where they are at.
To avoid a lot of shit of asshole redneck moshers (it's northern Wisconsin, unless you live here, you may not understand) I went over to the mainstage to get ready to take pictures for Slipknot. Say what you want about Slipknot, anything at all about their music. They know how to put on a show. and taking pictures for them was a possible once in a life time experince I won't take for granted.
But after three songs, and so many hours of traveling and metal. I said fuck it, I'm going home.
As I was leaving and passing the second stage, I ended up walking with Randy Blythe of Lamb Of God. I got my picture with him *in very bad darkness0 shook his hand and told him it was great to have him back, and he said it was great to be back. I also mentioned quick about the interview I was suppose to have. He told me he actually knew about that and apologized to me and said "I don't know the October itinerary yet, but if it comes to the Twin Cities, you got your interview." . I shook his hand one more time. Spent a half hour looking for my car and drove home.
After getting home my guitarist decided to spend the night and we watched Where the Buffalo Roam, a movie starring Bill Murray as Hunter S. Thompson....need Is ay more?
Today was not nearly as excited, I was the most sick today constantly sneezing coughing and blowing my nose and of course my sore throat. But I was still able to go to the beer have some beer and wings then went to see the Expendables 2, which I'm sure is a lot better when not sick. haha. But seriously its just a good action film about guns and explosions, why have the need for a plot?
After I got home I started working on my radio show interviews, watched Breaking Bad, finished up the radio show, and currently listening to the second half of it now checking for mistakes before I sent it out to the stations.
So overall. despite shitty security at the Rave and being very sick, it was the best weekend I've ever had, and it was a great way to close out the first 23 years of my life. Now that I'm 24, I look forward to the next 24 years.
If you made it this long, first of all thank you, and second I hope you'll enjoy the interviews and pics this coming week.

I cold hardley focus on reading anything past the point when you said that they threw out your grandfather's chain. I don't even know you, and that pissed me off. What a fucking dick. I would've killed the son of a bitch.
EDIT: Okay, I just read the entire thing and wow, that's fucking awesome. What a helluva way to spend your birthday; hanging out with fucking rockstars! Sucks that you hadda be sick though, but it still sounds like you had a blast. That's fucking awesome, dude. Can't wait to see the pics.
