Issues at polls renew interest in early voting
Legislators and election experts are debating whether contingency plans are needed for future elections after a week that featured widespread confusion, unprecedented voting by email and unknown numbers of still-uncounted ballots.
Other states use early voting to relieve pressure on Election Day, according to New Jersey legislators, and state laws spell out what to do if an emergency makes some polling places unavailable. New Jersey has neither early voting nor contingency laws, and despite calls by lawmakers, no legislation to create them has been introduced.
After superstorm Sandy left polling places powerless or flooded and forced many voters from their homes, the state was left to create a backup plan on the fly just days before Election Day. The plan allowed voters who had been displaced by the storm to vote by email or fax – a system that was previously used only for military voters and residents living overseas. They have until 8 p.m. today to submit their ballots.
Some people could vote by provisional ballot at any polling place in the state, and everyone was encouraged to vote before Election Day by filling out a mail-in ballot at their county clerk's office.
The expanded email voting was announced on Saturday, just three days before the election, and the changes created widespread confusion.
Requests for ballots arrived in such numbers that county election offices' email inboxes were filled to capacity and fax lines were tied up.
The last-minute plans are still having ramifications. On Thursday, a state Superior Court judge ordered county clerks to allow voters to cast their email or fax ballots until today if voters can prove they attempted to apply for a ballot by 5 p.m. on Election Day.
Despite the confusion, election experts have praised Governor Christie's administration for coming up with solutions to try to ensure that no registered voter was unable to cast a ballot.
"The state should be applauded for taking ownership of the problem and offering solutions, albeit imperfect," said Angelo Genova, an election law attorney who's worked for Democrats.
But if early voting had been in place in New Jersey, fewer people would have needed to vote by email or find a new polling place, said Assemblyman John Wisniewski, D-Middlesex. "It would not have been the problem that we face now," he said.
Contingency plans
Early voting can act as a "relief mechanism," he said, reducing the need for more complicated Election Day contingency plans.
"We have a voting system that's based on the assumption that everything will be fine and working properly," Wisniewski said.
But in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the Attorney General's Office – which, at that time, oversaw state elections – created a plan for dealing with polling places that became unusable. The plan called for NJ Transit buses to be used as mobile polling sites, with voting machines or paper ballots inside the buses themselves, according to Paul Josephson, a lawyer who worked in the Attorney General's office in the early 2000s.
It is unclear if state officials took steps outlined in the plan. No mobile polling places were used in this week's election.
The Department of State, which is in charge of elections in New Jersey, did not respond to requests for comment.
Legislative leaders said they will look into the email voting and the other unusual changes made to this week's election and propose contingency measures for future elections.
"The administration was facing difficult circumstances, but this probably wasn't thought out enough and was rushed into place," Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, D-Essex, said in a statement. "We definitely need to look at this to devise a better system for future emergencies."
Oliver, as well as election experts and a handful of other legislators, suggested that an early voting system may be the best solution for reducing the impact on Election Day of future emergencies.
Thirty-two states and Washington, D.C., have early voting, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Even without a disaster, early voting would allow more people to vote, said Genova, the election law attorney. Rather than using early voting simply as part of an emergency contingency plan, "I think you decide to have early voting because you think it can contribute to better participation in our democracy," he said.

The vengeful act of crapping on a lover's chest while they sleep.Buy the plush
Perhaps the most elusive sex move North of the Rio Grande. It is an act in which, after penile hand relief, a couple partakes in anal fornication. Generally, a saddle is placed on the back of the woman (or catcher in the case of a gay orgy) and animal noises are made by both partners. After the clan sex, the man deficates in a plastic Walmart bag, ties it off, and beats the woman sensless with it in a southern fashion.
Neighbor: "I heard some animal noises next door I think the Wilsons were doing the Texas Ranchhand"
Neighbor's Wife: "That explains the Walmart bag full of shit in our mailbox"

LASIK eye surgery is performed using a laser programmed to remove a defined amount of tissue from your cornea. With each pulse of the laser beam, a tiny amount of corneal tissue is removed.
The laser allows your eye surgeon to flatten the curve of your cornea or make it steeper. Often, LASIK is performed on both eyes on the same day.
Before surgery, your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of LASIK surgery, your expectations, what to expect before and after surgery, and answer any questions you may have.
During a pre-surgical eye exam, your eye doctor takes a detailed medical and surgical history and conducts a comprehensive eye examination.
In the eye examination, your doctor will evaluate your vision and look for signs of eye infections, inflammation, dry eyes, large eye pupils, high eye pressure or other eye conditions.
Your doctor will also measure your cornea, noting the shape, contour, thickness and any irregularities.
Your eye doctor also evaluates which areas of your cornea need reshaping. Your eye doctor uses tests to measure the shape and contour of your cornea and determine the precise amount of tissue to remove from your cornea.
Doctors generally use wavefront-guided technology to evaluate your eye in detail before LASIK surgery. In this test, a scanner creates a highly detailed chart, similar to a topographical map, of your eye. Theoretically, the more detailed the measurements, the more accurate your eye doctor can be in removing corneal tissue.
LASIK eye surgery is usually completed in 30 minutes or less. During the procedure, you lie on your back in a reclining chair. You may be given medicine to help you relax. After numbing drops are placed in your eye, your doctor uses an instrument to hold your eyelids open.
A suction ring placed on your eye just before cutting the corneal flap may cause a feeling of pressure, and your vision may dim a little.
Your eye surgeon uses a small blade or cutting laser to cut a hinged flap about the size of a contact lens away from the front of your eye. Folding back the flap allows your doctor to access the part of your cornea to be reshaped.
Using a laser, your eye surgeon then reshapes specific parts of your cornea. After reshaping is complete, the flap is folded back into place and usually heals without stitches.
During the surgery, you'll be asked to focus on a point of light. Staring at this light helps you keep your eye fixed while the laser reshapes your cornea.
You may detect a distinct odor as the laser removes your corneal tissue. Some people describe smelling an odor similar to that of burning hair.
If you need LASIK surgery in both eyes, doctors will generally conduct the procedure on the same day.
Immediately after surgery, your eye may itch, burn and be watery. You'll probably have blurred vision. You generally will experience little pain, and you'll usually recover your vision quickly.
You may be given pain medication or eyedrops to keep you comfortable for several hours after the procedure. Your eye doctor might also ask you to wear a shield over your eye at night until your eye heals.
You'll be able to see after surgery, but your vision won't be clear right away. It takes about two to three months after your surgery before your eye heals and your vision stabilizes. Your chances for improved vision are based, in part, on how good your vision was before surgery.
You'll have a follow-up appointment with your eye doctor one to two days after surgery for your doctor to see how your eye is healing and check for any complications.
Plan for other follow-up appointments during the first six months after surgery as your doctor recommends.
It may be a few weeks before you can start to use cosmetics around your eyes again. You might also have to wait several weeks before resuming strenuous contact sports, swimming or using hot tubs.
Follow your doctor's recommendations about how soon you can resume your normal activities.

Lambert in London (1902–1913)
In November 1902 Lambert settled in London where he remained for about twenty years. He began to paint images of women and children, portraits and decorative compositions. He gained a reputation for glamorous and arresting portraits and challenging allegories.
In 1905 Lambert took a furnished studio at 2 Rossetti Studios, Flood Street, Chelsea, where he remained until 1913. The studio was 'dingy and beset by the perpetual fogginess of the lowlands along Thames side'. This suited Lambert's interest in painting in chiaroscuro, using contrasting light and dark, under the influence of 17th century Spanish artist, Velázquez.

I have been offered this M1928A1 Thompson for the sum of 500 (about 655USD).
Should I jump on it ? I was planning to build a M1911A1 to go along my 1991A1 but since I have seen it....
but I am concerned by the rear sight: unprotected & can't be adjusted...or am I just paranoïd ?
Well, I don't know the laws where you live, but here in the USA a legal registered 1928A1 SMG starts around $12-15 thousand bucks for a run of the mill specimen and gets up into the stratosphere for rare variations or unissued examples.
The rear sight like that worked fine on the M1 version issued during WWII, they were bullet hoses not sniper rifles. If you don't care about keeping it original a Lyman adjustable unit runs around $350-500 here.
Gabriel7384, I'd gladly pay 500 euros for an original 1928 thompson if I could own it legally. The rear sight can be replaced with the adjustable ladder style for about $150-$180 (USD). There are 4 rivets that attach the sight that will need to be removed on your rear sight, and replaced with new ones if you go this route. It's sad to think the people of the country that made that thompson can't legally own it anymore (not here before 1986) because of our restrictive gun laws. Here's a pic of the adjustable rear sight I put on my 1927. It's an original rear sight I purchased from sarco 1928 Thompson Lyman Adjustable Rear Sight I bought mine off of gunbroker for $150, but it came from sarco.
Like Kernel said that stamped rear sight is common, I wouldn't worry about it.
Since your lucky enough to get one at that price, and if you really want one, I'd get it.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Wow, prices on the Lyman sights have went way down, last year or so they were almost as much as the parts kits!
Kernel, the price drop was the only reason I bought one. I saw them for cheap last fall at the same time the wife was asking what I wanted for an anniversary present.

A team of middle schoolers from North Dakota has turned an award-winning idea into reality with the recent debut of their Recycling Bin app. The app encourages recycling by providing users with a searchable map of local recycling centers and allows them to save locations as favorites. It also allows users to set a reminder to recycle on their device.
The group of nine sixth graders from STEM Center Middle School, in West Fargo, North Dakota, came up with the idea as part of a school project for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge, which awarded ten teams with Samsung tablets, a school grant, and professional app training. The contest was designed by the Verizon Foundation to promote interest in science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM. It challenges students to submit an app concept or design that could solve a problem in their school or community. The students came up with the idea for Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling in their community. "We thought that this would really help a lot of people," Jaden Hilkemann, 12, told TFK.
They kept their concept simple so that anyone could use it. The middle schoolers were surprised when their idea earned them a spot among the ten national winning teams. "My reaction to winning was, 'Wow, I didn't think our app was this good!'" Joram Stith, 12, said. "We were the youngest [winning] group."
From Idea to App Store
For winning the challenge, the students received training from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, which oversees an app-building software program called App Inventor. Together, they turned their idea for Recycling Bin into an app ready for download. "We had groups of two or three people each developing one part of the app," Hunter Koehmstedt, 12, told TFK. "We all collaborated. It was great." Jacob Pfeifer, 12, added that they learned a lot working together. "At first, we all didn't agree on what we wanted it exactly to do, but in the end we all came to a consensus," he said.
In June, the free Recycling Bin app launched in the Google Play app store for Android devices. "I was screaming when it went up on the app store," Seralyn Blake, 12, said. "A lot of my family members downloaded the app. It was pretty cool."
A New Challenge
Do you have a winning app idea? Registration for the second annual Verizon Innovative App Challenge is open through December 3 at verizonfoundation.org/appchallenge. You'll need a group of fellow students and the support of a teacher to enter.
Justina Nixon-Sanitil, Verizon's director of education, helps oversee the challenge. "We feel that technology can engage students and make them more interested in science and math," she told TFK.
Nixon-Sanitil says the judges consider each app concept for its originality and how realistic it is to develop. They also look at how the app idea is presented and how the concept uses STEM ideas. "I would ask any student, even if you feel you are not strong in math or science, to be a part of this," she said. "Come up with an idea. Think creatively. Really think about the problems right around you"
The Recycling Bin team offered their own advice for students entering the challenge. "Have fun, because even if you can't code the app, it's still really fun to come up with ideas," Joram said. "You work better and the work seems easier if you are having fun."

The Port of Tauranga says a decision allowing it to make way for super-sized containerships has ended a near four-year battle with iwi - but one defiant opponent says his battle isn't over.
Conservation Minister Dr Nick Smith yesterday granted three resource consents to the company allowing it to widen and deepen the harbour to make way for large S-class vessels.
The decision comes after the port company had spent $2.5 million in legal fees on their proposal since lodging resource consent nearly four years ago.
The bid had been opposed by Ngaiterangi, Nga Potiki and Ngati Ruahine in an Environment Court battle in 2011.
An eventual decision to grant resource consent for the deepening was later appealed to the High Court by Ngati Ruahine hapu member Lance Waaka.
The court did not grant Mr Waaka leave to take a further challenge to the Court of Appeal, allowing the minister to finally grant consent.
However, Mr Waaka said he was disappointed at the decision, and was now exploring other legal avenues to continue opposition.
"We haven't given up."
Mr Waaka was especially against the port's plans to remove 32m from the Tanea Shelf, the submarine extension of Mauao (Mt Maunganui), which was sacred to local iwi.
But Port of Tauranga chief executive Mark Cairns saw the court process as being over.
Mr Cairns welcomed the announcement with a sense of relief - but he was also hopeful the decision would lead the way to an improved relationship with iwi.
"It's easy to sit here with the European science and say there are going to be minimal environmental effects," he told the Herald.
"I think I've learned personally more about the mauri that the local iwi place on the harbour - and that's something which I think we need to work harder to acknowledge."
Conditions of the consent require restoration of the pipi beds, creation of an artificial reef and careful placement of the dredged sand in approved locations.
A new trust, with members from local iwi, the port and other stakeholders, is also to be set up.
Mr Cairns said the company would soon begin preliminary stages of the dredging process, expected to continue through the year.
The first stage would cost between $30 million and $40 million and was likely to take six months to a year to complete, depending on the size of the dredger.
The second stage would increase the depth of the channel by 3.3 metres and remove 32 metres of Tanea Shelf to make the channel wider.
Dr Smith said he was "disappointed" it had taken nearly four years for a final decision.
The case was one of the last being dealt with under the old Resource Management Act. Future consents of this type would be determined by the Environmental Protection Authority, rather than the minister, and within nine months, he said.

ANALYSIS: The Education Questions, Part I
By Pria Whitehead
Last month, author and blogger Michael Ellsberg made an appearance at the Commonwealth Club to deliver a lecture on the problem of higher education. In his talk, titled "The College Industrial Complex and the Future of Higher Education," Ellsberg addressed the question of youth unemployment in the United States and offered up a rough cost-benefit analysis of American college attendance. [Listen to his podcast.] Ellsberg's analysis led him to conclude that higher education in the United States is, by and large, failing to prepare youngsters for the kind of work that would allow them to participate in – and contribute to – a functional domestic and global economy. He called for a change of focus away from traditional, degree-centered education and toward the accrual of practical experience – or "street cred" – through work experience within early-stage start-up companies. According to Ellsberg, start-ups comprise "the only area of the economy where one metric of success is how many jobs you've added." In a domestic economy where the manufacturing sector is disappearing rapidly, Ellsberg argued, small and early-stage companies are critical to job creation. He went on to tout the value of a skill-based, "dynamic" start-up-acquired education as distinctly "non-academic."
Two weeks prior to Ellsberg's forum at the Club, Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein published an article in Bloomberg Magazine titled "Harvard's Liberal Arts Failure is Wall Street's Gain." Klein's article focuses entirely on a very small percentage of the college-educated population, namely Ivy League graduates who subsequently pursue careers in finance. He attributes the continually high rate of Ivy-to-Wall-Street careers to the conclusion that a few years on Wall Street after college allows students, both educationally and financially, to make up for lost time. Klein describes a Wall Street career as "a low-risk, high-return opportunity that they can try for a few years and, whether they like it or hate it, use to acquire real skills to build careers." He goes on to say that "Wall Street is promising to give graduates the skills their university education didn't," and even to assert that post-undergraduate jobs in finance are "filling a need that our educational system should be filling."
Klein's statements seem bold and broad in their implications. While the locus of his argument is miniscule in proportion to the scale and scope of this country's economic and educational crises, it rests on the wider assumption that a liberal arts education fails to equip young adults with the necessary tools for effective and remunerative contributions to society.
Klein's and Ellsberg's arguments appear similarly disdainful of the concept of liberal arts education, but the alternatives that the two columnists choose to address are mutually distinct. While Klein's argument focuses on the established (and establishment) structure of the finance industry, Ellsberg's concentrates on the highly dynamic, even volatile world of nascent businesses. Ellsberg is primarily concerned with the economic consequences of personal career choices, whereas Klein's argument is explicitly wrapped up in the social and hierarchical implications of the population whose fate he queries. Perhaps important, though, is that both take care to delineate their subject matter: Klein describes his Ivy Leaguers as "kids who have ample mental horsepower, incredible work ethics and no idea what to do next," and Ellsberg assures his audience that he's "talking about young people who are motivated and ambitious."
While Klein's and Ellsberg's arguments are roughly representative of two separate ideological camps – one hierarchical, the other network-based and vaguely collectivist – both place a high premium on a certain fortuitous combination of knowledge and moral character. The value of this combination in our post-industrialist economy is hardly arguable, wrought though it may be, but the question remains: What role, if any, might a liberal arts education play in honing it? Is it really possible that none of the types of "real skills" touted by these thinkers feature prominently in the American college experience?
In his 2008 book Disrupting Class, which calls for a new structural and curricular paradigm of compulsory public education, Harvard business professor Clayton Christensen emphasizes the need to cultivate the character-based types of skills championed by Ellsberg and Klein. "We all know," Christensen writes, "that becoming a great athlete or a great pianist requires an extraordinary amount of consistent work. The hours of time required to train the brain to fire the synapses in the correct ways and thus hone the necessary muscle memory and thinking required is no different from that needed to learn to read and process information or think through math and science problems. Unless students … are motivated, they will reject the rigor of any learning task and abandon it before achieving success." Christensen goes on to highlight the importance of what he calls "intrinsic motivation" toward successful achievement at the grade-school level.
Despite its focus on internal rather than external or practical mechanisms of education, Christensen's emphasis does not entirely counteract Klein's and Ellsberg's arguments. Rather, the type of student who has achieved relative success through "intrinsic" motivation would appear a likely candidate for continued motivation after completion of her compulsory education. In fact, the careers that Klein and Ellsberg explore are not so much ideals as they are models or exemplars of a particular type of continued education – one that might offer a necessary dose of extrinsic motivation to a student who has garnered her initial taste of success through intrinsic motivation.
If we were to follow, abstractly, the paradigms of these three authors, the process would appear to be the reverse of what one might expect: while compulsory education would emphasize intrinsic motivation, higher (and, to a large extent, elective) education would constitute a practical and fundamentally socially (or extrinsically) driven catalyst for success.
Two questions follow. First, how might we think about motivation as viewed along a broader spectrum of education? Are intrinsic and extrinsic motivation necessarily exclusive, and/or do they necessarily occur in stages along a path to educational and professional development? Second, what types of post-secondary educational and professional models are best suited to the cultivation of the skills that are most valued in our knowledge-based economy?
Stay tuned for Part II.
Eyewitness Account of Titanic Tragedy Heard by Commonwealth Club
"Those who swam from the sinking steamer at the last moment had no idea that the vessel was in danger of sinking until her bow suddenly sank deeper in the waters a few moments before she sank. As they stated, had they believed the vessel was in any danger of sinking, they would have had sufficient time, following the launching of the lifeboats, to have prepared temporary life rafts sufficient, in that calm sea, to have saved the lives of hundreds.""…These survivors stated, however, that until the sudden downward dip of the vessel forward, coincident with the rush on to the boat deck of the steerage passengers, they did not apprehend that there was any danger of the vessel sinking for hours."

This early work by Wilkie Collins was originally published in 1882. Born in Marylebone, London in 1824, Collins' family enrolled him at the Maida Hill Academy in 1835, but then took him to France and Italy with them between 1836 and 1838. Returning to England, Collins attended Cole's boarding school, and completed his education in 1841, after which he was apprenticed to the tea merchants Antrobus & Co. in the Strand. In 1846, Collins became a law student at Lincoln's Inn, and was called to the bar in 1851, although he never practiced. It was in 1848, a year after the death of his father, that he published his first book, The Memoirs of the Life of William Collins, Esq., R.A., to good reviews. The 1860s saw Collins' creative high-point, and it was during this decade that he achieved fame and critical acclaim, with his four major novels, The Woman in White (1860), No Name (1862), Armadale (1866) and The Moonstone (1868). The Moonstone, meanwhile is seen by many as the first true detective novel - T. S. Eliot called it "the first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels...in a genre invented by Collins and not by Poe." Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.

Inspired by... Pyramid of Arts
Royal Armouries welcomes the opportunity to work with community groups to produce artworks inspired by… our collection and themes.
We are currently hosting an exhibition of work created by a group working with Pyramid of Arts, an organisation which runs sessions for people with and without learning disabilities throughout Leeds.
Pyramid of Arts aims to establish creative communities where people can build friendships, enjoy the freedom to learn and produce quality art.
The museum hosted the group for a three-day workshop in June. The group was led by community artist Kevin Hickson.
The group was asked to consider the topic 'from battlefield to playing field'. Participants explored how sport and war relate to each other, may co-exist and sometimes take over from one another. They also examined the movement of the human body both in battle and on the playing field.
Starting with painting and drawing, the group sketched their ideas and then moved on to working with willow to create life-sized sculptures.
The five finished sculptures and the group's paintings are now on display on the mezzanine level in the Tournament Gallery. The exhibition forms part of the museum's summer sports- and gaming-themed events and displays, which run until September.
You can find out more about Pyramid of Arts at www.pyramid-of-arts.org.uk

I am trying to help out a fellow beek who has probably developed laying workers (just developing now - sounds like something happened to the queen about three weeks ago).
I have some queen cells on the way and will end up with more cells than I plan on mating.
The backup plan will be to raise a new nuc to replace the entire hive in April, but in the meantime, I am wondering if it is worth inserting a queen cell into this newly laying-worker hive.
Does anyone know what happens when a queen cell is inserted into a hive with laying workers?
Will the laying worker(s) kill the queen cell before emergence just as a newly-emerged virgin queen would?
Will the queen cell be allowed to emerge and the new virgin queen killed by the laying worker(s) shortly thereafter?
Is there any chance that the queen cell will be allowed to emerge and the virgin queen will be allowed to mate?
Is there any reason not to give this a try?
p.s. this is the only hive in her apiary and there are no nearby hives to steal frames of open/capped brood from...

Nashville Hootenanny 02-19-2011
This just in from Voyage-Air Guitar Artist Relations Director, Virginia Cannon:
"Hey! Everyone's invited to tune in to the Nashville Hootenanny this Saturday night, February 19th. It streams live over the Internet, at the link below beginning at 5pm Pacific time, 6pm Mountain, 7pm Central, and 8pm Eastern time. No cable or dish TV required!
This Nashville Hootenanny is now seen in 72 countries and was watched by over 50,000 viewers last month. This show's a hit, and the numbers continue to grow!
Click here to see the lineup for the show: http://nashvillehootenanny.com/teenhoot/
The Nashville Hootenanny had this to say about James Hunter, who will play his Voyage-Air Guitar on the show: "16 year old James Michael Hunter began playing the guitar when he was 5 years old, and he's been singing and writing music ever since. When he was 9 years old he started a band called One Eyed Rhyno. James and his band have been playing original songs and covers of classic rock and blues for 7 years all over California.
"James and his band recorded his song 'THE BIRD' in 2010 and put in on itunes. One Eyed Rhyno is donating their proceeds from itune sales to the Student Conservation Association to help fund the gulf clean up.
"James is making his third trip to Nashville from Sacramento, California to write songs and play his third Hootenanny in February. He was asked to play at the 2010 NAMM convention in L.A. for Voyage Air Guitars and was interviewed for HUB World television as well. He's inspired by all the great blues musicians especially Johnny Guitar Watson, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Page." This is a great chance to see the Voyage-Air Guitar played by an up and coming artist – and for free!
Also note that Steve Winwood's daughter, Lilly will also be performing. This Nashville Hootenanny will be hosted by Youtube sensation Cjaye Lerose.

VIDEO: Buffalo Tom, "Sodajerk"
In a year when every outfit from Smashing Pumpkins to the Police is reuniting, it can be hard to convince people that you never broke up. When Buffalo Tom played South by Southwest in March at a show that announced their signing to industry vet Danny Goldberg's Ammal/New West new label, a number of Austinites were expecting a heavy dose of nostalgia. One paper even characterized the gig as the reunion of a favorite '90s band. But the band were really there with the future in mind — specifically to tease the release of their new Three Easy Pieces. Buffalo Tom may be a local institution, but they're still evolving as a band. And they never officially broke up. You don't have to live in Boston to know that, but it probably helps.
"How do people see us?", asks singer/bassist Chris Colbourn. He's in a self-depreciating mood when we meet at Bukowski's in Inman Square. "'You're nobody anymore, nobody cares.'" From across the table, singer/guitarist Bill Janovitz provides the voice of reason. "I'm sure most people outside of Boston think we've broken up. Even in town we've only done a show or two a year. And now we're probably going to get lumped into the reunion thing with Smashing Pumpkins and Dinosaur Jr. But it's fine, we've got a niche somewhere." Colbourn concludes, "We're the guys who try real hard. We're the rock guys who always show up early. Everything is so important to us, and that fucks us up even more. But I'm real comfortable in that role."
You can't blame the band — who play the Paradise on July 14 — for feeling like underdogs these days. It's been nearly nine years since their last proper studio album, Smitten (Beggars Banquet). That disc was meant to re-establish Buffalo Tom after a shorter break, but it wound up disappearing fast and getting them dropped from their long-time label. "Part of me was really hurt by that," notes Colbourn, "even when our manager was saying, 'Chris, shake it off.' " A pair of singles compilations, Asides and Besides, were released in the interim on Beggars. But the band then went part-time: Janovitz focused on two solo albums and one with his now-defunct band Crown Victoria, and Colbourn made a disc with ex-Fuzzy singer/guitarist Hilken Mancini. Like the two frontmen, drummer Tom Maginnis (who's not there at Bukowski's) focused on raising a family and took a day job.
The material on Three Easy Pieces was written and recorded over the course of several years, starting well before there were any formal plans for the trio to release a full album. Nevertheless, it sounds like classic Buffalo Tom. The band has tended toward a consistent sound throughout each album; this one, however, has a little of everything they've done. There's guitar noise that harks back to their first recordings with J Mascis; there are acoustic numbers that recall their big breakthrough, 1992's Let Me Come Over. There are also two short, punchy songs that could have been on 1995's Sleepy Eyed, and a two more-epic numbers in the Smitten vein. The songwriting on the new album matches that of 1994's Big Red Letter Day, and there's notable growth in the vocals. The rush of harmonies that starts off the opening track, "Bad Phone Call," is a new touch that brings to mind the Beach Boys, but Janovitz says they were thinking more along the lines of the Band. Above all, their trademark empathy for misfits is here in abundance.

Look at the price on that! I dont care how rare and good it is that is just too damn expensive for anything. Does look good though!
Look at it this way- 10g is two sessions. For the sake of argument, assume you get five 150ml brews per session. That's roughly equivalent to two bottles of wine, and although a $175 bottle is by no means cheap, it's a pittance in the world of high end wine.
So although the price seems ludicrous at first glance, it's far from the most one could spend on beverages.
Very true, but my parents sure dont but $175 bottles and not a hell of alot of people do.

All the stuff is being stored at my place, and I just discovered the helmet has a sizable crack along the top of the cheekplate, right below the left edge of the visor opening (the visor hasn't been installed yet). Is there any way to reinforce this spot? Should I try sealing the crack with Bondo? The helmet is coldcast and we paid a lot for it. I don't want all our work sanding and painting to go to waste.

meanwhile the Redskins which have struggled to sub par seasons forever have finally got it right and snyder went to the draft to get better (like we have done for years) instead of spending a WAD of cash on some high priced FA. that has backfired on your guys for years.
Anyway my point is you guys are closer to what Philly has been YAPPING about then then will ever be. They are now floundering in an 8game losing streak and their whole future is up in the air with no SB run anywhere in sight for a long long time. Your team on the other hand may only be a few pieces away from Hoisting another Trophy in Washington. Build around RG and keep him healthy and Im sure you guys will be celebrating another SB Title in near future. Your team and RG will be a pain in the rear for years to come for the NFCE. bottom line.

Jimmy Van Heusen at:
Composer Jimmy Van Heusen was born Edward Chester Babcock, in Syracuse, New York on January 26, 1913. Growing up in Syracuse, he began writing songs while still in high school. At the age of 16, he had a regular program on a small Syracuse radio station and as an announcer and adopted the last name of Van Heusen (inspired by the mens Collar manufacture of the same name). After graduating from high school, Van Heusen attended Cazenovia College and Syracuse University where he studied music with instructor Colburn and later with Howard Lyman.
Moving to New York City in 1933, Van Heusen took a job as a staff pianist with Remick Music Publishing. In 1938, on the heels of his first hit publication Its the Dreamer In Me, Van Heusen was put under contract with Remick as a songwriter and began collaborating with lyricist Eddie De Lange. In the short time De Lange and Van Heusen worked together, they produced nearly 20 hit songs, including All I Remember is You, All This and Heaven Too, Can I Help it, Darn That Dream, Theres Gotta be a Weddin, Deep In a Dream, This Is Madness to Love, Good For Nothin But Love, Heaven Can Wait, Looking For Yesterday, Sympathy, Moonland, Peace, Brother, Shake Down the Stars, So Help Me and Swingin a Dream.
By 1939, Van Heusen had started working with another lyricist, Johnny Burke. Together, the two began their own publishing firm BurVan, Inc. Van Heusen would continue to be an active music publisher for the rest of his career founding the firms Maraville Music Corp. and Famous Music.
Collaborating on the Broadway shows Nelly Bly and Carnival in Flanders, as well as over 30 films, the Van Heusen-Burke team was one of the most successful partnerships from Tin Pan Alley. Under contract with Paramount Studios, Van Heusen and Burke moved to Hollywood in 1940. Together they wrote the hit songs Polka Dots and Moonbeams, Imagination, Its Always You, Moonlight Become You, Aint Got a Dime to My Name, Constantly, Sunday, Monday or Always, Sleighride in July, If You Please, Day After Forever, Swinging on a Star (1945 Academy Award for Best Song), Personality, Put It There, Pal, Would You?, Arent You Glad Youre You?, As Long As Im Dreaming, Smile Right Back at the Sun, Country Style, But Beautiful, You Dont Have to Know the Language, Once and For Always, When is Sometime, Busy Doing Nothing, Youre In Love with Someone, Top O the Morning, Sunshine Cake, Sure Thing, Life is So Peculiar, High on the List, The Magic Window, Say One For Me, You Can Bounce Right Back, I Couldnt Care Less, Got the Moon in My Pocket, Suddenly Its Spring, It Could Happen to You, Like Someone in Love, That Little Dream Got Nowhere, So Would I, My Heart Goes Crazy, You May Not Love Me and Just My Luck.
In 1956, Burke semi-retired from songwriting and Van Heusen started another successful partnership with legendary lyricist Sammy Cahn. The Van Heusen-Cahn catalog includes Love and Marriage (1955 Emmy Award for Best Song), Impatient Years, All the Way (1957 Academy Award for Best Song), High Hopes (1959 Academy Award for Best Song), The Second Time Around, Love Is a Career, To Love and Be Loved, Call Me Irresponsible (1964 Academy Award for Best Song), Incurably Romantic, Specialization, Come Fly With Me, Come Dance With Me and Only the Lonely.
Throughout his forty year career, Van Heusen received 10 Oscar Nominations for Best Song in a Motion Picture, 4 Academy Awards for Best Song in a Motion Picture, 1 Emmy Award for Best Musical Contribution and 6 Golden Laurel Nominations for Best Music in a Motion Picture.
Jimmy Van Heusen died on February 7, 1990.

Podsumowanie obiektu
"Piazza Navona White" is very close to Piazza Navona and it's, with no doubt, one of the most original and unique houses in the center of Rome.
The house, located on the first floor of a 15th century building, has a very particular structure which spreads over several levels, creating a nice effect of asymmetrical spaces with cozy alcoves that create a variety of small rooms and surprises for the guests.. . The house is full of unusual discoveries that allow the guest not only to have a romantic "getaway" but also a stay that leads back to the typical flavor of the real Rome as it once used to be...
The apartment is equipped with 6 comfortable beds and it can host, upon request, up to 7 people, adding an extra folding bed in the lounge area. Navona White has a large room with a fireplace of white marble in front of which you will find a wonderful double-bed: the real heart of the house. This space, with a 4-meters ceiling and wooden beams, is furnished with a white sofa which funcions as an extra bed.
Inside the hall, just on the left of the fireplace, climbing an ancient staircase, you can reach a wide loft with a folding bed and a dining area from which you can have an harmonic vision of the house in all its artistic beauty.
This wonderful space, with soft lights, ivory and bone jewelry and rigorously clear fabrics is , in fact, framed with pieces of art: on the walls we can find the white and natural pictures by Ezio Bastianelli, and right in the center of the room, hanging from the ceiling, we can see two big lamps made of palm fiber from Malindi, which are handmade by architect Marzia Chierichetti. If necessary, in this area of the house a further folding bed can be added so to get a total of 6 beds. In the house there is a very wide bathroom with a wardrobe in it and a large shower of 3 square meters with a comfortable sitting inside and a small pearl white kitchen.
From the ivory coloured kitchen, climbing up a small ladder, you get to a more intimate and private place inside the house, the zen garden suite.
This area, the little nest of the house, is surrounded by a small zen garden that, combining peace and relax, undoubtedly makes the Piazza Navona White house the most romantic between Bastianelli Homes ...
But surprises do not end here. The house also overlooks a lovely private terrace, furnished with a table and a large flowerbed with many plants and flowers that you can see while climbing down the staircase. From here, through a small door carved into the rock, you can have access to an unusual area: the "Cantina Bastianelli". The cellar, where you can taste wines and Italian sausage, was made inside an ancient secret passage that once connected the building to the nearby Church of San Salvatore in Lauro. This unique place in holiday homes in Rome is, with no doubt, another good reason to choose Bastianelli Home again ....

Laura is a very good hostess, the house is in the best square of rome, if you are mediterranean you will like because is a site whit a good atmosphera, the house has two enormous beds one little bed and a sofa, i think that the kitchen is more small than in the photos i will return
Nous avons été déplacé dans un autre appartement qui se nomme "Campo Penthouse" dans la rue Pellegrino 13 (pour cause de problème d'éléctricité). Très bel appartement, un peu cher tout de même, balcon avec belle vue sur les toits de Rome et soleil couchant. Douche un peu trop petite. Proche de tous les sites, à côté de la sympathique place Campo di Fiori avec marché de légumes et fleurs tous les matin. Attention plusieurs étages, il faut être en bonne santé.
Rome magnifique 2000 ans d'histoire, préfèrez un guide lors de vos visites, c'est vite passionnant!

|Olympic hockey: Group C breakdown
|02.16.10 at 4:56 pm ET
With all the great names in Group A and B, it is easy to overlook the fact that Group C has the gold and silver medal winners from 2006 in Sweden and Finland, respectively. It also could be called the Group of Brothers, as some prominent siblings dot the rosters such as Daniel and Henrik Sedin of Sweden, Andrei and Sergei Kostitsyn of Belarus (though Andrei will not play because of injury), and Jarkko and Tuomo Ruutu as well as Saku and Mikko Koivu of Finland. This group should be a battle between the Nordic clubs, with Belarus able to steal some points and Germany an also-ran unless the injuries that forced some last-minute turnover to the Belarus roster cripples the team.
Schedule (All times ET)
Feb. 17 — Finland vs. Belarus, 3 p.m.
Feb. 17 — Sweden vs. Germany, 7:30 p.m.
Feb. 19 — Belarus vs. Sweden, 3 p.m.
Feb. 19 — Finland vs. Germany, midnight
Feb. 20 — Germany vs. Belarus, midnight
Feb. 21 — Sweden vs. Finland, midnight
Captain — Nicklas Lidstrom
Assistants — Daniel Alfredsson, Henrik Zetterberg
Goaltenders — Jonas Gustavsson, Stefan Liv, Henrik Lundqvist
Players to Watch — Nicklas Backstrom, Peter Forsberg, Daniel and Henrik Sedin
Breakdown — Sweden is the defending goal medal winner and will be tough in Vancouver. Lundqvist could carry the team to the medal round if he gets hot, and the Sedin brothers are a formidable pair wherever they play. Forsberg has two gold medals to his credit, as he scored the game-winner in the 1994 games in a shootout in the gold medal game. The Sedin brothers do not have to travel far, as they play for the Vancouver Canucks and will be in their home building.
Captain — Saku Koivu
Assistants — Kimmo Timonen, Teemu Selanne
Goaltenders — Niklas Backstrom, Miikka Kiprusoff, Antero Niittymaki
Players to Watch — Tuomo and Jarkko Ruuto, Mikko and Saku Koivu, Selanne and any of the three goaltenders
Breakdown — The biggest decision for Finland coach Jukka Jalonen will be which goaltender will get the majority of the time. Based on NHL numbers this season, the pick would be Kiprusoff (.925 save percentage, 2.18 goals against for Calgary) over Niittymaki (.917, 2.55) but that would be to forget that Niittymaki was the MVP of the 2006 Olympics with only eight goals against during the entire tournament despite losing to Sweden at the end. Selanne was named the best forward in 2006, and with Timonen, they give the team a solid veteran backbone.
Captain — Ruslan Salei
Assistants — Viktor Kostiuchenok, Alexei Ugarov
Goaltenders — Vitali Koval, Maxim Malyutin, Andrei Mezin
Players to Watch — Sergei Kostitsyn, Salei
Breakdown — Belarus is ranked eighth in the International Ice Hockey Federation rankings and has a smattering of NHL talent in the Kostitsyn brothers, Salei of the Avalanche and Grabovski of the Maple Leafs. Belarus is not at the level of the Great Seven of the United States, Canada, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic and Slovakia, but it definitely has enough talent to be better than Norway, Latvia and Germany. The team has lost a little depth with Andrei Kostitsyn and Mikhail Grabovski missing because of injury along with four other non-NHL players who were on the original roster. A quarterfinals appearance is not out of the realm of possibility.
Captain — Marco Sturm
Assistants — Dennis Seidenberg, Sven Felski
Players to Watch — Sturm, Seidenberg, Jochen Hecht, Alexander Sulzer, Marcel Goc
Bruins on the roster — Sturm
Breakdown — As Germany is a major industrialized nation, it is a wonder that this country has never been good at hockey, even after being reunified. Sturm, the Bruins' leading scorer, is the headliner of the roster and Seidenberg is a good defenseman. Predators teammates Sulzer and Goc provide some NHL experience, and Hecht played in the 2002 Olympics but missed the 2006 games with an injury.

|Check out companies that have embraced automatic enrollment and other automatic 401(k) features.
Have a success story to share? Contact us
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group
The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, operator of luxury hotels, started its 401(k) program with baby steps in 1987. After the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the company took a hard look at its plan and took steps—including automatic enrollment—to grow enrollment from 40% to 86%.
Tulalip Tribes
When Tulalip Tribes of Washington State, a federally-recognized Indian tribe located in the mid-Puget Sound area, began offering automatic enrollment in the employee 401(k) plan, participation rates nearly doubled, increasing from 36% to 71%.
The benefits team at ProAssurance, a medical liability insurance company, evaluated their 401(k) plan and realized that many of their employees were not participating. The company asked their plan provider to suggest ways to address their concerns and help their employees begin to save more.
Here is a by-the-numbers look at Nationwide's implementation of its Nationwide Savings Plan. It's a statistical portrait of results before and after rolling out the company's automatic enrollment and automatic increase features.
An automatic 401(k) plan helped this horticultural company increase their plan participation to nearly 95 percent. By implementing a plan based on best practices, BallHort employees are now saving more for their retirement.
Evraz Oregon Steel Mills
Looking for ways to increase 401(k) participation rates among both management and union employees, Evraz Oregon Steel Mills changed to an automatic 401(k) plan. By ensuring that employees bought in every step of the way, the company now has a 97 percent participation rate.

text: I recently purchased a plastic "Splash guard" skid plate from a guy on gmt400.com and I got the front of it all hooked up but I noticed there is nowhere to mount the other side. So if you 4x4 obs owners could snap a pic of where the skid plate attaches near the crossmember that'd be great. The reason why it doesn't work on mine is because I have a 2wd. Thanks for all the help!

Intel® CoFluent™ Studio Virtual Systems: Architecture Exploration
Model and simulate a virtual system (application plus platform)
Intel® CoFluent™ Studio for system architecting (SA) enables application-driven system architecting in order to define the right architecture for the right functionality in the first 20 percent of a project's lifecycle.
The key to achieve this goal is to create separate models for the application and the platform and combine them to study all aspects of the resulting virtual system macro-architecture before entering into detailed design and software integration.
System design and architecting front-end
- Creates fully-timed functional (application) and physical (platform) models at the message abstraction level
- Capture models through graphics and simple C code for detailed sequential algorithms
- Define the system within its environment used as simulation input and testbench
- Generate SystemC code automatically
Rapid design space exploration cycle
- Define as many hardware platforms as wished in minutes: mono or multiprocessor, mono or multi-board, with simple or complex interconnect
- Use generic hardware components with universal performance characteristics: no specific models or ISS required
- Map application elements to platform components by a simple drag-and-drop operation
- Execute "what-if" scenarios by trying out different platform and/or mappings without writing a single line of code
- Obtain time-accurate co-simulation results
System-level verification environment
- Fast simulation (message-passing transaction-level SystemC-based—equivalent to OCP-IP TL3)
- Automatic instrumentation, rich set of visualization and analysis tools
- Observe the system's behavior, communications, and performance data
Executable specifications and common HW/SW reference
- Obtain the right system architecture transaction-level SystemC model in the first 20 percent of a project's lifecycle
- Used as specifications and testbench for further HW/SW design and implementation
- Used to specify and verify subcontracted implementation of subsystems
- Build your company's electronic system design knowledge repository with libraries of models

Its when a place of higher education is both a university and a college.
when you take very few degrees that relate, and then focus in on ALL the parts of the those few degrees. Because with a college they mostly offer one degree, and with a university, they are like a combination of a lot of "colleges". So if you mix the two, you got Unicollogy.

I'm not surprised that Ann Coulter said "our blacks are so much better than their blacks" when she appeared on Sean Hannity's show on Monday (video below). I'm not shocked by the uproar that has ensued. She didn't back down from her comments when HLN's Joy Behar asked her about it on Tuesday. I'm not shocked by that either. Ann Coulter is a straight up, tell you to your face BIGOT. She's been that way for years. She's been saying the same type of racist garbage for years. The shock is that..
A. People are shocked by her most recent comments in light of what she's said in the past.
B. Networks like Fox and HLN still give this bigot a podium.
When I heard her comments from the Fox broadcast I wanted to say, "Oh, so Missy Ann is a pundit now?!?!". Really? Do you own blacks, Ann? How many Negroes do you own? How long have you been the mistress of the plantation?
Dear African-American Republicans, You need to take off the watermelon suits and tap dancing shoes and listen to what the party really thinks about us. Yes, US. Don't act like you're special because you get to live in the house and master thinks you're smart…for a negro. Yes, that's right. Not as smart as ole masta, but smarter than those Democratic field coons.
Oh, you don't think that is what is actually being said? Well, then I think the Republicans surely "own" the right blacks for the job. So many of America's politicians are "owned" by corporations and special interests that I guess you guys would say "At least we got some Good white folks.".
Yall betta run on. I hear Missy Ann uh calling.

Two newest areas to join are Freemans Bay and Mt Eden with Herne Bay expected to hit $2m soon.
Auckland now has 13 suburbs with an average house value of $1 million or more, property figures released to the Herald show.
Herne Bay is well on its way to becoming the country's first $2 million suburb at $1,913,333 and St Marys Bay is next in line at $1,566,889.
The Herald asked PropertyIQ for a list of the country's top 20 areas. It valued every house in each suburb based on recent sales of nearby comparable properties to find an average, although there are many properties that would fall below the figure.
They were all in Auckland - 13 had an average value of $1 million or more and figures are now higher than ever.
Three of the 13 areas were on the North Shore - Stanley Bay, Takapuna and Devonport - while the rest were in Auckland city, including Parnell, Epsom, Remuera, Ponsonby, Westmere and Mission Bay.
The two newest suburbs to join the $1 million club were Freemans Bay, with an average value of $1,008,389, and Mt Eden at $1,001,667.
Real Estate Institute of New Zealand chief executive Helen O'Sullivan said parts of Mt Eden appealed to young families as it was in the "triple grammar zone" for Epsom Girls' Grammar, Auckland Grammar and Mt Albert Grammar.
"But it's not just the schools. It's a nice part of town, it's close to Mt Eden village, which has lovely cafes and shops which appeal to the urban professional."
She said Freemans Bay had risen in price as it was close to top suburbs Herne Bay and St Marys Bay.
"You do see this a lot with the suburbs that border on the popular suburbs - you can get a big place in Meadowbank, the equivalent of what you could get in Remuera - for cheaper."
Other suburbs just below the threshold were Campbells Bay, St Heliers, Kohimarama, Grey Lynn, Castor Bay, Eastern Beach and Narrow Neck.
The Herald revealed in September that 11 suburbs had reached the $1 million mark, with Herne Bay top with an average value of about $1.8 million.
It was predicted New Zealand might have its first $2 million suburb by Christmas, but PropertyIQ research director Jonno Ingerson said many of the top suburbs had levelled or decreased slightly over the past few months.
Herne Bay values had increased 0.4 per cent in the past three months, compared with an increase of more than 6.5 per cent over the first three months of this year.
Over the past three months Mt Eden, Parnell, Pt England and St Johns had dropped slightly in value.
Herne Bay became Auckland's first million-dollar suburb in 2003.
No Wellington suburbs feature in the top 20. Seaside Lowry Bay broke the mark in early 2008 but slipped down again.
Mr Ingerson said he was unable to get a recent figure because of insufficient sales activity in the area. The last value was $929,444 a couple of months ago but it had been trending down. Of the Wellington suburbs PropertyIQ could assess, the highest value was Seatoun at $845,000.
REINZ has also given figures for the 13 top suburbs for the past year.
Using a median sale price it calculated that three suburbs were in the $1 million-plus bracket - Herne Bay, Remuera and Stanley Bay - in the year to October 31, which meant half the homes had sold for more than $1 million.
Stanley Bay had seen the biggest growth at 39 per cent, from $1,182,000 to $1,642,500, followed by St Marys Bay at 27.9 per cent, from $617,500 to $790,000. Ponsonby was the slowest moving at 3.1 per cent - a rise from $875,000 to 902,000.
Remuera had the biggest number of sales at 582 but the biggest rise was Stanley Bay at 100 per cent - from seven sales in 2011 to 14 in 2012.
Freemans Bay had the biggest drop at minus 20.4 per cent - from 113 sales to 90.
Buyers snap up houses without a look through
Some buyers are making offers on houses in Auckland's million-dollar suburbs without having stepped foot inside as competition in the market heats up.
Margaret Meyer and her son Chris put in an offer on 319 Mt Eden Rd - in the city's newest suburb to join the $1 million club - after Bayleys real estate agent Kitty Rothschild phoned her by mistake.
The pair had missed out on a house in Parnell at auction and Ms Rothschild had taken her number from that register. So when she called, Ms Meyer didn't want to miss another opportunity.
"She called me completely by accident," Ms Meyer said. "But I asked her about the other house and if it had gone. She said no, so I asked if I could put an offer in."
The home, on a 551sq m section and with a council valuation of $1,050,000, is split into three apartments. The mother and son, who work as a nurse and landscaper respectively, are planning to rent out two apartments and live in the third.
Ms Meyer would not reveal what she had paid but it is understood to be just over $1.3 million.
She said the building needed renovating but was worth the price.
"It's all about location, location, location. We're very central, it's in the triple grammar zone. It's a miracle, I didn't think I'd ever be able to live here."
Meanwhile, a Kiwi couple living in London bought 44a Prospect Terrace in Mt Eden for $1.3 million.
They saw the six-bedroom home, which sits on a 400sq m section, advertised on the Bayleys website and contacted real estate agent Keith Ward, who filmed a "walk-through" and put it on YouTube.
After seeing the video, the husband arranged to come to Auckland to finalise the offer.
