Who's in Charge?: Free Will and the Science of the Brain (Hardcover)
The father of cognitive neuroscience and author of Human offers a provocative argument against the common belief that our lives are wholly determined by physical processes and we are therefore not responsible for our actions
A powerful orthodoxy in the study of the brain has taken hold in recent years: Since physical laws govern the physical world and our own brains are part of that world, physical laws therefore govern our behavior and even our conscious selves. Free will is meaningless, goes the mantra; we live in a determined world.
Not so, argues the renowned neuroscientist Michael S. Gazzaniga in this thoughtful, provocative book based on his Gifford Lecturesone of the foremost lecture series in the world dealing with religion, science, and philosophy. Whos in Charge? proposes that the mind, which is somehow generated by the physical processes of the brain, constrains the brain just as cars are constrained by the traffic they create. Writing with what Steven Pinker has called his trademark wit and lack of pretension, Gazzaniga shows how determinism immeasurably weakens our views of human responsibility; it allows a murderer to argue, in effect, It wasnt me who did itit was my brain. Gazzaniga convincingly argues that even given the latest insights into the physical mechanisms of the mind, there is an undeniable human reality: We are responsible agents who should be held accountable for our actions, because responsibility is found in how people interact, not in brains.
An extraordinary book that ranges across neuroscience, psychology, ethics, and the law with a light touch but profound implications, Whos in Charge? is a lasting contribution from one of the leading thinkers of our time.
Praise For…
"Gazzaniga is a towering figure in contemporary neurobiology. . . . Who's in Charge? is a joy to read."
-Wall Street Journal
"A fascinating, accessible, and often humorous read for anyone with a brain! And a must-read for neuroscientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and criminal attorneys."
-Library Journal (starred review)
"Fascinating. . . . Gazzaniga uses a lifetime of experience in neuroscientific research to argue that free will is alive and well."
"Terrific. . . . [An] engrossing study of the mechanics of thought."
-Publishers Weekly
"A fascinating affirmation of our essential humanity."
-Kirkus Reviews
"From one of the world's leading thinkers comes a thought-provoking book on how we think and how we act. . . . An exciting, stimulating, and at times even funny read that helps us further understand ourselves, our actions, and our world."
-CNBC.com, Best Books for the Holidays
"An utterly captivating and fascinating read that addresses issues of consciousness and free will and, in the end, offers suggestions as to how these ideas may or may not inform legal matters."
-Daily Texan
"[The] scope of Michael S. Gazzaniga's Who's in Charge? is huge—it tackles the age-old debate of free will [and] offers a lot to consider about what Gazzaniga deems the 'scientific problem of the century.'"
-Portland Mercury
"Fascinating. . . . [An] intriguing and persuasive treatment of the moral implications of modern neuroscience."
"This exciting, stimulating, and sometimes even funny book challenges us to think in new ways about that most mysterious part of us—the part that makes us think we're us."
-Alan Alda, actor and host of Scientific American Frontiers

This was the first time an exhibition of Finnish art on this scale had been organised in Ireland. Northern Stars and Southern Lights: The Golden Age of Finnish Art 1870-1920 was organised in collaboration with the Ateneum Art Museum, Helsinki. It brought together 74 paintings and prints which showed a mix of native influences with international styles, particularly from France.
Curated by Dr. Adriaan Waiboer of the National Gallery of Ireland and Timo Huusko of the Ateneum Art Museum in Helsinki, the exhibition explored the highpoint of Finnish painting, also known as the 'Golden Age of Finnish Art'. In particular, it looked at naturalism in Finnish art, epic landscapes and scenes of everyday life, as well as vivid images inspired by national legends and myths with an emphasis on Finland's national epic, the Kalevala - a compilation of folk poetry published in 1835 by Elias Lönnrot. The exhibition also made reference to Early Modernism and the 1900 World Fair in Paris, where Finland had its own pavilion.
Finland's vast, unspoilt landscape, played an important role for artists in the context of the country's growing sense of national identity as represented in the exhibition by artists Eero Järnefelt (1863-1937), Under the Yoke (Burning the Brushwood) (1893); Pekka Halonen (1865-1933) The Short Cut (1892) and Vaïno Blomstedt (1871-1947), Sunset (1898), who together managed to capture in pigment the country's distinctive forests, lakes and rivers in a uniquely heroic and symbolic manner.
Paris, in particular, had a prominent impact on Finnish artists, most notably Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931); Albert Edelfelt (1854-1905), Pekka Halonen (1865-1933) and Helen Schjerfbeck (1862-1946). This cultural journey led to Finland having its own pavilion at the 1900 World Fair in Paris, where Finnish artists showed 14 paintings, some of which were included in this exhibition.
The final part of the exhibition presented an overview of the various trends of early twentieth-century Modernism in Finland, including works from the Septem group represented by Magnus Enckell, Yrjö Ollila, Ellen Thesleff and Verner Thomé, and the November group founded in 1917 by Tyko Sallinen, Marcus Collin and Alwar Cawén, whose works drew on German expressionism.
The exhibition also explored the prominent position of women artists in Finland during this period, as exemplified by Fanny Churberg (1845-92), Elin Danielson-Gambogi (1861-1919), Maria Wiik (1853-1928), Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946) and Ellen Thesleff (1869-1954).
The works were selected primarily from the Ateneum Art Museum in Helsinki, supplemented by loans from other public and private collections in Finland and abroad: the Joensuu Art Museum, the Gösta Serlachius Museum of Fine Arts, the Gothenburg Museum of Art, and the Bank of Finland.

"The poor would be driven out of town. The middle class would drive themselves."
Those lines were written back in 2002 by an insightful political commentator of the sort so rare only a single, simple syllable is needed to identify him:
With all the due modesty at my disposal, I was addressing a plan, backed by the city of Portland and many of the state's other major municipalities, to allow them to impose a local-option sales tax. Thanks to my searing indictment, the bill legalizing this outrage was soundly defeated in the Legislature.
Or maybe my editorializing wasn't the deciding factor. Local-option measures had been shot down by overwhelming numbers at least five times before I ever wrote a word on the subject, and the same has occurred an equal number of times since. Although, it could be argued that the lingering impact of my essay — which suggested that if the tax were approved, everyone who could afford to would move to rural towns that were unlikely to approve such a levy, while the poor, unable to manage even a modest increase in their cost of living, would also migrate to less taxing environments — might have resonated through the years.
After all, the residents of places I charmingly dubbed Leechfield and North New Porcupine could hardly be expected to embrace legislation that was likely to burden them with an influx of welfare moms, deadbeat dads, and me.
As it turned out, I relocated to the puckerbrush anyway, not because of local-option taxes, but because the newspaper for which I wrote that devastating putdown of such a burdensome revenue source rewarded my efforts by terminating my employment. Freed of the demands of putting on pants each day and showing up at the office, I moved to a town where property taxes were less than half what I paid in Portland. Of course, municipal services were likewise greatly reduced, but the lack of cops, schools, garbage trucks, and restaurant inspectors was more than offset by the lack of rules about where you could smoke and drink, the absence of trash tossed on my front lawn, and the reduced chances of running into Eliot Cutler.
But getting back to local-option taxes. According to news reports, this is supposed to be the year that idea finally comes to fruition.
The time is right, a key legislator told the Bangor Daily News.
Although that was in 2001. And it wasn't.
"This year, however, things might be different," said the Kennebec Journal. "Supporters of the current proposal to allow Maine towns to levy a 1 cent local sales tax say it stands a better chance of becoming law than any previous ones."
That was in 2002. It didn't.
"[W]ith both the Legislature and new governor eager to address tax reform, the political climate has changed," announced the Portland Press Herald. "What was once considered improbable is now possible."
The year: 2003. The reality: Impossible.
"This time," said the Press Herald, "proponents see an opening like never before."
That's actually from 2013. And no matter how "like never before" the opening is, it's too small.

Shots fired during college party at Aspen Heights
Police: Suspects were denied entry, fire guns into the air
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A large college party ended early Sunday morning after a group was denied entry and left, firing guns into the air.
Columbia police said 20 to 30 people had gathered around 2 a.m. in the 3500 block of Aspen Heights Parkway for the party.
The two unknown suspects tried to get into the party, started being disruptive, then left and fired several rounds into the air.
Police said in a news release Sunday afternoon that no one reported injuries or property damage.
Residents at the student housing complex told ABC 17 News they heard about 3 shots during the incident.
The shots fired incident comes one day after the final students moved into the complex, after a delay due to construction disputes.

He said he wanted the opinion of coaches. You gave an opinion and I asked where you coached. Why is this so hard for you?
Why are you people so defensive? I merely asked a simple question. DA wanted coaches opinions, that guy answered and I was just curious as to where he coached.
Feeling a little insecure are ya?
Im stating a fact. Les Miles calls the plays and is the brain (or lackthereof) of our offense (if you can call it that).
That sounds like an opinion since I'm pretty sure that Les Miles has a brain and is likely smarter than you are. But you still haven't told us where you coach.
I just asked a simple question. Even a you should know where you coach.
How is a physical state an opinion? Les Miles physically uses his vocal chords to create vibrations in the air that travel into a microphone that are captured and sent through wires and into the ear piece of Zach Mettenberger. Is this an opinion to you? Are you a nihilist, man?
No need to be ashamed that you aren't a coach. It isn't any surprise after reading your posts.
I know this: when preparing a game plan you have to first ask "what do we do well?"
Here's something for you. I know very little Xs and Os about football. I enjoy drinking a lot during game, so much so, that I sometimes have to rewatch games later to really know what was going on. It's pretty obvious that I know a hell of a lot less about football than even the janitor that sweeps the football operations department building. But you know what? Our offense sucks dick. It's a problem.

capturing packets from cellphone aircard
Does anyone know how to capture PPP traffic from a cellphone AirCard Modem?
I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue that someone is having with VPN, and thought a packet capture via Wireshark would be helpful here.
The problem is, the box I'm using to test on has to get it's connection via a USB Aircard from a cell phone provider. WinPcap sees it as PPP traffic on Windows 7 and doesn't capture the data according to there FAQ.

Movie Review: Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Stephen Rebello reviews the Bad Girl movie of the year, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Director: David Fincher MPAA Rating: R Studio: Scott Rudin Productions, Yellow Bird Films
Director David Fincher caught plenty of hell when, in the heat of the acclaim for The Social Network, it was announced that he would tackle an English-language remake of the enormously popular 2009 Swedish film The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo directed by Niels Arden Oplev's based on the first of Stieg Larsson's pulpy, plotted-by-the-numbers bestsellers.
What would drive one of our most idiosyncratic directors and master craftsmen to tackle a remake, let alone one with franchise potential?
Fincher also took flack for casting the relatively unknown Rooney Mara who, in turn, also caught hell when she stepped into the role of the emotionally bruised, much-pierced, butt-kicking, not-of-this-earth survivalist Lisbeth Salander made so iconic by Noomi Rapace.
So, now that we have Fincher's, Mara's and first-class screenwriter Steven Zaillian's take on The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, is it epic? It certainly kicks off with a roar thanks to a brutal stunner of a credit sequence accompanied by Trent Reznor and Karen O's slashing redo of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song." Then, the creaky mystery plot takes over – a disgraced journalist (Daniel Craig, in good, subdued form) gets hired by the scion (a just-right Christopher Plummer) of a wealthy, almost comically creepy Swedish family to unravel the mystery of a young woman who vanished decades ago.
Happily, it's not all about the underlying camp of the book or its serial killer plot. What remains most powerful is its story of an abused woman outsmarting and savagely turning the tables not only on those who wronged her but also on any man who might try.
Enter Rooney Mara.
Fincher's gamble on the young actress pays off because she is good, even compelling at times, but another actress who made the role indelible got there before her. The whole movie is stuffed with strong performances not only from the two stars but also from Robin Wright, Joely Richardson and Stellan Skarsgard.
The material has been adapted with bracing intelligence by Steven Zaillian, shot with icy precision by Jeff Cronenweth and Fincher and company create a film that looks and sounds state of the art. It's intensely striking, full of portents, menace and dread and roiling with violence. Still, it's all a bit of a letdown because even though this is a more serious, more humane and beautifully made film than the original, the nagging feeling of déjà vu brings it down. It's tough to connect with it on any emotional level.
As technically astute and top of the line as the film is, you keep waiting, hoping, for doses of pure, unadulterated, off-the-chain Fincher. You want his spin on it. You want a sign of what itch he needed to scratch in making it. For filmmaker as gifted, brilliant and cutting edge as Fincher can be, his The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo feels a bit like yesterday's news.

damn I was way off....

but Wilson it is. Idk about this pick, but I'm not gonna badmouth the kid or Reese...
we'll see what happens

[quote user="BlueBlooded1979"]Fumbler, poor in pass pro and cant run routes.
3rd round value and a RB at that. Hill, Still, Upshaw, Fleener all on the board still. All have more upside than this guy.
If this was the guy they coveted they should have traded back and avoided 1st round money and at least save money.[/quote]
3rd round value according to who?
The best guy not working for an NFL Team, Mike Mayock, had him ranked as the 33rd best prospect. Not a reach at all. I'll trust Mayock and Reese, they have both earned it.
Mayocks top 100: http://www.nfl.com/draft/story/09000...P11_hot_topics
I have 3 vids of Wilson will get some more up tomorrow
David Wilson vs Virginia
Vs Clenson
vs WF
Well he can certainly receive, how is he in pass protection?
i trust reese but there were better values avaliable.
Don't know much about him but from what i've seen he didn't look like anything special but we'll see. I trust the front office knows what their doing. Definitely a need pick though.
[quote user="TuckYou"]
[quote user="ralphpal"]Why dont you people like it? What are the reasons? We needed a runningback . I really dont follow college but what are the reasons you people dont like this pick[/quote]
Because it was a reach. And TB knew we wanted Martin and took him right out from our nose. This was not a BPA pick. No way. I dont like it. Its a passing league now. We just won a championship without a running game
He actually adds a passing threat, that's what I love about this pick.
Kid was also a return specialist....something we needed,
But you guys know better so I'm going to beat the rush and go ahead and call this pick a bust.[]
I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
[quote user="RichGiants81"]Hope he is good but this really sucks in my opinion[/quote]
In my opinion, you are an idiot
I will never doubt Morehead again.

Reviews (23)
"Did not work for my horses"
I have reread the positive reviews for my horses and I wish it had worked on mine. Sadly, it did not.
"Equi Spot on for horses"
Have used this product for years and it does WORK! I can tell by the horses tails not swatting continuously and their peaceful attitude in the pasture. In the hot stormy south, one/double application lasts 3 to 4 weeks. My horses are large, and by double I mean, I use one tube on each side of the horse. No side effects, great price and no need for sprays.
"Awesome Stuff"
I have 6 horses, and I camp with them in the worst time of the summer. When all the bugs are out. This makes a BIG difference in my horses comfort. Their tails stop swishing, and they are more relaxed after using it for trail riding. I would recommend this for anyone trailing with young kids as I do.
"Great Product."
I am very pleased with this product. Keeps ticks, horse flies and deer flies off my horses. They do not have any bite marks from mosquitos either. Will be buying again.
"didn't work"
It did not work at all on my horse. I had to spray him the very next day.
"great product!"
"my mare has an allergy to the ""no-see-um gnat"" and I have tried many things with this every summer she is tore up. I tried this product this year and the amount of irritation she experienced was greatly reduced! This is a great product for my mare "
"Difficult to Apply"
Product is very hard to apply, as directed. Product is oily liquid, which you must drop on horse's spine and back of legs in specified amounts. VERY HARD TO DO! Manufacturer should revise product to permit better control during product application.
"Equi SPot for ticks"
This product is great for ticks and my animals have never had a reaction. We have horses in a heavily wooded tick infected area and this product kills them dead and keeps them off.
"did not work"
this productis not good. i put on my horses neck first, then i put on his back like the directions say to do and with in a day it had started burning his flesh off, it was so bad his hid, tissue,was coming off his back. had to get vet out. it took 3 months to heal.
"Equi spot"
When I lived in southern ms my filly had a full engorged tick in her ear, it was so soar she wouldnt let me touch it. The equi spot killed it within a couple of hours and it fell off, I love it
"Great product!"
Last summer we had a bunch of horses testing positive for Lyme disease in our area including one of my own. I started using Equi-Spot after finding 7 or 8 ticks on my gelding one evening, and never found another tick on any of mine after that day! No reactions to the product and a it has a pleasant citronella smell. I will use it all tick season every year!!!
"Did not work"
Tried this on my paint from summer into the fall and it did not work on her at all. The flies actually walked across the medicine. Going to try a fly sheet next!
Be very careful using this product; it burned my horse on his neck and back!
"Works great!"
I used this on our Arabian horses for several years. It is a very effective product and a great time-saver--no more fly masks, no more sprays. It did take a couple of days to get into the horses' systems on the first application of the year, but it also lasted closer to 3.5 weeks, rather than two. Owners of horses larger than 1,000 pounds may need a little more than one applicator. For our 14.2 to 15.2 horses, it has been perfect!
I used this on my quarter horse mare because nothing else seems to work to fight off the flies and ever since then I have noticed that the flies stay away from her. It really works and she doesn't fight me to put it on either. With the fly spray I have to worry about wearing it when I am spraying her down but with the use of Equi-Spot I don't have that worry at all.

lol do you all realize that is not kim's real face? her original face was pretty plain. She just looked like a typical armenian girl. kanye is okay, but he's not particularly handsome. The child will probably not look like that picture because once again, that's not kim's real face.

Kanye is not the best looking but let's not kid around, kym is one of the main reasons why the Kardashians and their reality show is famous
kyms looks are admired by many, she has high cheek bones, slim face with stunning chiseled looks along with her olive skin, her Armenian good looks has her beauty standing out
If mums genes are stronger then the child will follow.

Don't bet on it. IMO, Kanye is not handsome by any stretch of the imagination. Kim is not bad looking but she looks like she does today, face wise, because of the make up, botox and who knows what else. That's not her NATURAL aging look so who knows how this baby will look once he/she get here.

Everyone shows off a pretty baby. Come on! This baby is black, and Kim is in shock. She thought her baby would look latin. But this girl is brown skinned. Not latin looking at all.
She may live in Mansions, and have all thwe material wealth. But can not choose the dna.
Her baby is brown, and that was a shock for a white woman.

I agree 100% if that baby was so cute she'd be showing it off like everything else she owns! the Royal Baby has had his 1st appearance already' I think Kim K thinks time will make her baby cuter, just shows money cant buy EVERYTHING hahahahahahaha take that u greedy stuck up bleep!

Men who work night shift are three times more likely to develop prostate cancer compared to gents doing day work only, new research reveals.
Night time workers are also at greater risk of other types of cancer like bowel, bladder and lung tumours.
Previous studies have linked a rise in breast cancer with female night shift workers, mostly nurses.
However, researchers at the University of Quebec are the first to reveal the full effect of night work on men, Medical Daily website reports.
Experts say night shifts could harm the body through the suppression of the hormone, melatonin - produced by the brain's pineal gland - which helps regulate sleep patterns.
When it's dark more melatonin is produced to help induce sleep. Production tends to peak in the middle of the night. Disrupting this process interferes with the body's cycles and could provoke tumour growth, researchers say.
The latest study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, included 3,137 men with cancer and 500 clear of the disease.

Schools Placed on Lockdown
Montgomery, Callaway county schools lock doors due to threat
***UPDATE 4:30 P.M.*** An 18-year-old Montgomery County man is currently in jail for kidnapping a girl and sending multiple schools into lockdown. Robert Dean Bethel allegedly kidnapped his 15-year-old girlfriend at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon. Bethel returned her safely Wednesday morning, but then made comments that sent schools in Montgomery and Callaway counties on lockdown. Authorities say the kidnapping is just one of many charges Bethel could face. Officials say Bethel forced his girlfriend into his pickup truck using a gun Tuesday afternoon. They believe Bethel and the girl spent the night in northeast Missouri before Bethel dropped her off safely Wednesday morning at her home. Statements of him visiting Montgomery County schools sent the middle and high schools into lockdown, as well as a school in Jonesburg. Bethel never made it to the schools. A Missouri State Highway Patrol officer pulled him over in Callaway County and found a loaded .22 caliber handgun in the truck. Bethel is currently in the Montgomery County Jail. Montgomery County R-II School Superintendent Michael Gray says the schools went into lockdown around 11 a.m. Gray says the school locked all doors and windows, but teachers did not barricade their doors. The superintendent confirmed Bethel is a senior at Montgomery High School. Gray says Bethel was well-behaved, however, the 15-year-old girl did have a restraining order against him. School officials did not alert parents until after the lockdown was lifted. "We would have if we would have had time," said Gray. "Nobody comes in or or leaves on a lockdown." ***ORIGINAL STORY*** Two Mid-Missouri schools went on lockdown Wednesday due to a potential threat. According to Montgomery County R-II school officials, the high school went on locked Wednesday morning. They did not specify a reason for the lockdown, but that all students and faculty were safe. The lockdown was lifted around 1 p.m. However, some parents are frustrated with the school district because administrators did not send out a notification, nor was the lockdown posted on the school district's website. Callaway County Sheriff Dennis Crane confirmed to ABC 17 News that some South Callaway schools locked their outside doors because of a related threat. People and students were still allowed to leave and enter. Sheriff Crane says an individual connected to the missing persons case out of Montgomery City threatened to do harm to a student in Callaway County and that is why the schools locked their doors. The sheriff says that individual is currently in custody.

Voter ID card sent to deceased Pueblo man
PUEBLO, Colo. - More than two years after Daniel Knez died, he was mailed a voter ID card for the recall election in Pueblo County.
Knez's daughter, Renee Curtis, said she was surprised when she saw the yellow card in the mail.
"Right away I thought dishonesty," Curtis said.
The yellow card is a government identification, which means voters don't have to show photo identification at the polls. The recall election is the second election in Pueblo County where voters have been able to use the cards.
"I really believe that it has expedited the lines," said Pueblo County Clerk Gilbert 'Bo' Ortiz.
But why was a deceased 91-year-old man mailed a card? Ortiz said his office compares names with the Department of Public Health and Environment, which tracks those who have died. Ortiz said he doesn't know why the card was mailed to Knez.
Curtis said she worries that someone could have gone through her mail, which she says has happened before, and stolen her father's ID card.
"I think identification, ID, driver's license, whatever you have should be shown along with that piece of paper. They're just assuming that's you. That's not right," Curtis said.
KRDO-TV also learned that a 79-year-old woman, Helen Lucero, from Pueblo was sent a yellow card, more than a year after she passed away.
Ortiz insists there's no evidence to indicate anyone has committed voter fraud and he said the district attorney will prosecute anyone who does. "When you look at a Class 6 felony for doing this kind of thing, I can't imagine that anybody would think that it's worth it," Ortiz said.
If you have a loved one who died, you can go to the county clerk's office and sign a deceased voter form to remove his/her name from the list of registered voters.

I Believe and agree with Wes Welker's wife !!!!! He paid off a family to beat the murder charge. His career should have ended then !!!!
I Believe and agree with Wes Welker's wife !!!!! He paid off a family to beat the murder charge. His career should have ended then !!!!
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
I have been a GIANT fan since the 1950's . Yes an old fart {or as you call me a clown}.
You are one of those who believe all sports figures are "SAINTS". I thought "LT" was the greatest football player who every plaled the game !!I had helmet signed by him , a "LT" jersey I paid over $400 for . When this all came out about him ,with an underage girl . I got rid of it all . Yes , I wasn't at that hotel with "LT". But you can bet , if it happen once ,it happen many times . MONEY talks that is why ,many sports figures walk !!!!
Look for book "PROS AND CONS", about sports figures who have commited crimes. Very good book , might open you eyes !!!
I would rather be a OLD CLOWN, with MORAL VALUES , than a MORON , which you see when you look in mirror !!! HAVE A NICE DAY.
The reason why I'm not so quick to call Ray Lewis a murderer is because I know how dangerous it is out on them streets for average people so imagine a multi-millionaire. His life could've been threatened or one of his boys and in self defense somebody got killed. Ray Lewis is a man who walks with faith so I know he repents daily. Is he perfect? No none of us are but if the legal system says he's innocent, who are any of you to judge?
I'm not rooting for Baltimore btw, I'm rooting for the Niners and Kaepernick. I hope he throws and runs all over em and then I hope next year if the Giants don't win of course that another mobile QB wins the big dance. I'm tired of hearing how mobile QB's never win because they sure are exciting to watch and I don't wanna be stuck with a statue my whole entire life as a Giants fan.
Money talks but if they got clear evidence, somebody's gonna get locked up. Look at Martha Stewart and Wesley Snipes. If the glove don't fit, you must acquit and move on. Ray Lewis is a free man and most likely paid the family for their loss just because.

A large section of Greenbrae's Bon Air shopping center was evacuated Saturday afternoon after a man robbed the Wells Fargo Bank, saying he'd left a package of plastic explosives in the building.
The suspect left the bank on foot as employees set off alarms to call police. Officers later arrested a man who was reportedly identified by bank employees as the robber. They were at a Central Marin Police Authority command post set up in an alley behind the shopping center.
Bank customer Ira Sharlits said the suspect was a strange looking man wearing a large, floppy hat that partially obscured his face and a white, three-quarter length coat.
"I was just sitting there and didn't know what happened," he said. "He walked out and I was glad he was gone. Then the bank officers told us to get out."
Authorities evacuated businesses around the bank and cordoned off a large area of the parking lot at about 2:30 p.m., stranding many shopping center customers who were prevented by officers from returning to their cars. Police, offering to call them taxis, said it would be at least three hours before a bomb squad arrived from Berkeley to search the bank for the alleged explosives.
McKell Smith of San Francisco was one of those stranded.
"I picked the wrong day to come to this shopping center," he said.
He was having lunch with his young son at Roadrunner Burrito when the evacuation began.
"One of the police officers said there was a robbery in process and a bomb threat associated with it," he said. "Everyone wants to rule the world with fear."
Jennifer Zukerkorn of Tiburon was shopping in one of the stores and had her purchases on the counter when officers told her and other customers to evacuate the area. Her car was also in the part of the parking lot that had been cordoned off.
"This is Marin on a Saturday afternoon," she said. "Things like this don't happen here."
At about 5:50 p.m., officers lifted the evacuation order, allowing business to reopen and customers to return to their cars.

"CITY POINT, VINALHAVEN" By Marsden Hartley, 1937-38, on view at the Colby Museum.
The big 50th-anniversary exhibition at the Colby College Museum of Art has only about a month left of its eight-month run, so it seems like a good time to revisit this sprawling and worthwhile show. There's still time for even the most die-hard procrastinator to head off to Waterville. Depending on how you count it, there are some 300 pieces on view, ranging from Chinese objects made a couple of millennia ago to American contemporary pieces.
If you've never been there, you're in for a surprise. Under the guidance of some astute directors the Colby Museum has grown over the years to an institution that would be the pride of many a small to mid-size city. Placed on the edge of the campus, it's had room to grow and has done just that. They have also benefited from the gifts of significant collections over the years, making them quite strong in some areas, especially contemporary.
For this show they've taken an interesting approach: arranging much of it by the date of acquisition, rather than by period or by collection. In effect, they've randomized the arrangement and coaxed the viewer into areas that might be outside their customary interests and created juxtapositions that wouldn't have happened any other way. One finds a Qing vase near an NC Wyeth hard by a Bierstadt and a Noguchi. Even if you follow the course of the show directly you are still wandering around, which is pretty much the best way to visit a museum anyway.
Some highlights for me were the big Lois Dodd painting "Burning House, Night, Vertical," one of a number she did of houses in flames. This is, I think, the largest of this series to appear in Maine, and it demonstrates once again that Dodd is a master. Another fine piece is a panoramic view of New York's landfill by Rackstraw Downes, "Garbage Arriving at Fresh Kill is Hauled to the Top of the Landfill." It's 10 feet long by about 18 inches high, so you have to walk along it.
There is a masterpiece of Marsden Hartley's later career, "City Point, Vinalhaven" from 1937-38. Its rocks and shore have a muscular veracity that reflects his deep desire for artistic truth. Several galleries away (acquired years earlier) is a personal favorite of mine, Hartley's "Church at Head Tide, Maine." I've visited both church and painting many times and can testify that Hartley is, once again, telling the truth.
Note also the tiny Rembrandt etching "Baptism of a Eunuch" and its neighbors, two small etchings by Jacques Callot, from about the same period. There's also a double handful of beautiful Whistler prints. Around the corner from those is a big Neil Welliver painting "West Slope," painted when he was at the top of his form.
It's worth pointing out that there are two major sculptures on permanent view at Colby, Richard Serra's "4-5-6," large steel forgings outside the entrance, and Sol LeWitt's concrete-block "Seven Walls," visible as you approach the building. These are, as far as I know, the only sculptures by these important artists in Maine.

Sandberg earns first win as Phillies manager
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Ryne Sandberg's first win as a Major League manager came with some help from the opposition.
Carlos Ruiz had four hits and the Philadelphia Phillies benefited from two ninth-inning errors by shortstop Hanley Ramirez to beat the Dodgers 3-2 on Sunday, giving Sandberg his first victory and ending Los Angeles' 10-game winning streak.
Sandberg took over as interim manager Friday when Charlie Manuel, the winningest skipper in club history, was fired.
"We capitalized on a couple of miscues by the Dodgers," said Sandberg, who is going to save the lineup card. "We'll take it right now and hopefully build from that. Hopefully it will give us momentum for the rest of the homestand."
Philadelphia certainly could use some. Shut out by the Dodgers in each of Sandberg's first two games, the Phillies snapped a four-game skid and won for only the fifth time in 26 games.
Darin Ruf homered to begin Philadelphia's comeback from a two-run deficit."It's nice to get a win, in general," Ruf said. "Hopefully we can get rolling and get (Sandberg) a few more as well."
Andre Ethier went deep for the Dodgers, who have lost just nine of their last 51.
Brandon League (6-4) relieved Paco Rodriguez with one out in the ninth and nobody on. After Casper Wells reached on Ramirez's throwing error, Ruiz singled to right to put runners on first and third.
League intentionally walked pinch-hitter Jimmy Rollins to load the bases for pinch-hitter Michael Young. He grounded sharply to Ramirez, who bobbled a potential double-play ball as Wells scored to end the Dodgers' streak of 12 straight victories in one-run games.
Jonathan Papelbon (3-1) pitched a scoreless ninth, striking out two.
The Phillies snapped a scoreless streak of 21 2/3 innings when Ruf homered with two outs in the fourth to pull them to 2-1.
Philadelphia tied it in the sixth on Cody Asche's groundout.
Los Angeles jumped out to a 1-0 lead on Ethier's homer leading off the second and added a run in the fourth on Jerry Hariston Jr.'s RBI single.
But the Dodgers didn't have much more success against Cole Hamels, who left after allowing seven hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts and no walks.
The left-hander has yielded two earned runs or less in eight of his last nine starts but continued his hard-luck trend of 2013.
It was the ninth no-decision for Hamels, who entered with the fifth-worst run support (3.33 runs per game) among starters in the majors.
"It's unfortunate I wasn't able to do it earlier," Hamels said of his recent form. "It's kind of what I expect of myself. You have to keep pushing yourself, preparing for the next game and expect to do things well.
"This is a good start, getting a win -- especially against a great team," he added. "It gives us a place to start from."
The Dodgers are 25-4 since the All-Star break; the Phillies are 6-21 over the same stretch. ... The Phillies had lost the previous 16 games in which they scored three runs or fewer. ... Phillies RHP Ethan Martin (1-2, 6.28 ERA) faces Colorado RHP Jeff Manship (0-2, 7.20) when Philadelphia opens a four-game series against the Rockies on Monday night.

Americans re-elect President Barack Obama for a second term in the nation's top office
After a long and tough campaign season, American voters went to the polls to make their choice for President on Tuesday November 6. Citizens elected President Barack Obama, a Democrat, to a second term in office against his challenger, Republican Mitt Romney. As of Wednesday morning, Obama held 50% of the popular vote and at least 303 electoral votes. Mitt Romney held 48.4% of the popular vote and 206 electoral votes. A candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
Obama addressed cheering supporters at his campaign headquarters in Chicago, Illinois, as well as audiences watching at home on TV or online. The President thanked voters and spoke about the challenges ahead for the nation. He promised to work with leaders of both parties to improve the country. "Whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you. I have learned from you, and you've made me a better President," Obama said. "And with your stories and your struggles, I return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead."
Mitt Romney, who was formerly the governor of Massachusetts, gave a concession speech from his campaign headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. He congratulated President Obama on his victory and encouraged politicians to work together. "The nation, as you know, is at a critical point," Romney said. "Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people's work. And we citizens also have to rise to the occasion."
A President's Life
Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961. After working as a community organizer, lawyer and professor, Obama entered politics. He served as an Illinois State Senator for eight years. In 2004, he was elected to the U.S. Senate. In 2008, Senator Obama ran against Senator John McCain for President. On January 20, 2009, Obama became the 44th President of the United States —and the first African-American to hold the nation's top office. On January 20, 2013, Obama will have his second inauguration. Vice President Joe Biden will also hold his office for a second term.
A Day of Voting
With Election Day held just over a week after Hurricane Sandy caused widespread destruction across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states, some wondered how it would affect voter turnout. But at least 118 million Americans still went to the polls—final votes were still being counted Wednesday. Some Americans waited for hours in line at their polling places for a chance to vote, especially in storm-ravaged areas in New York and New Jersey and in swing states such as Florida and Ohio.
Election Day was an important day for Congress, too, with key elections in several states for senators and representatives. When Congress begins a new session in January, Republicans will keep control of the House of Representatives, while Democrats will control the Senate. Massachusetts, Nebraska and Wisconsin each elected their first-ever female senators. In 2013, the Senate will welcome at least 19 female senators, a record number. New Hampshire also became the first state to elect both an all-women delegation for Congress and a female governor.
Americans must be 18 years old to vote. But that doesn't mean kids can't make their voices heard, too. Nearly 25,000 TFK readers made their choice for President by voting in TFK's presidential poll. So which candidate would TFK readers elect? Barack Obama! President Obama won TFK's poll (now closed) with 61% of the votes.

At this point, there's no debating the fact that Lil Wayne is one of the greatest MCs of our generation. With his raspy flow, the cough syrup-loving rapper has delivered mixtape after mixtape and album after album of laugh-out-loud metaphors, mind-bending rhyme schemes and top-tier hip-hop. He's achieved so much, and dazzled so often, he's left other rappers gasping in his wake. So the question hanging over his 10th studio album seems to be: does Lil Wayne still care? Apparently not. I Am Not a Human Being II is a half-assed effort with highlights few and far between. "I swear I'm not nervous," Wayne whines on the album's second track, but he has every right to be, with at least five derivative, sexually explicit tracks padding out the album with bog-standard jokes and filthy banter. Wayne starts sounding like the woozy weezy of old on Romance, where he gets tongue-tied over a simple piano line, and he's reliably robust on thumping bass lopes like Rich as F*** and Beat the S***. But when the guests start outshining their host - as Juicy J does on Trippy and Drake on Love Me - you know you're listening to a pretty poor Lil Wayne album.
He might call himself a Martian, but it seems Lil Wayne is very human indeed.
Stars: 2/5
Verdict: Superstar rapper phones it in

By Ashly McGlone
SAN LORENZO -- A freshman student attending an anti-bullying assembly at Arroyo High School last week was wrongly accused by the principal of being a cyberbully in front of more than 400 peers.
Principal Larry Smith led a discussion with the freshmen class May 3 on the perils of cyber bullying after they finished watching a movie in the cafeteria.
According to Smith and student accounts, Smith pointed a student out and said the student had circulated an inappropriate photo of a female peer in an act of cyber bullying, a claim the student immediately disputed. The female peer in the image, also present at the assembly, was not named or pointed out, Smith said.
"The student was saying he didn't do it but then the principal kept saying he did," said freshman Kenneth Lee. "The principal said he posted an inappropriate picture about someone, but he deleted the picture knowing he did something wrong."
Smith, in his seventh year as principal of Arroyo High School, later acknowledged his judgment and factual error. He said the student had received the image on a social media site, but was not the student who sent it. He declined to give specifics about the incident, but said school administration had handled the matter before the assembly.
Smith was out of the office all week and will return Monday, he said. He, and district officials, declined to say whether he had been disciplined.
"I'm very sickened by the whole thing," Smith said. "He didn't do anything wrong. He was not involved in cyber bullying. ... I was trying to give an example and I made a mistake by naming a name."
After the initial assembly, Smith met with the families of both the accused student and the student in the image.
"I told them I would do whatever it would take to make it right," he said.
That meant assembling the freshmen class a second time on the same day before the end of the school day to apologize in a public forum.
Lee said that while the accusation made the student uncomfortable, "at least he (the principal) apologized knowing he did something wrong."
Smith declined to say whether the female student still attended Arroyo High or had transferred out after the assembly.
"The student and the family and I met and we discussed the possibilities," he said.
Some freshmen reported the incident to their teachers and at least one teacher brought it to the attention of district officials and the school board. The Arroyo teacher urged them to "to investigate this offense and to take action for his astounding lack of discretion" and likened Smith's actions to bullying.
"Mr. Smith's behavior not only put two students' reputations at stake for years to come (they are only freshmen), but it conceivably may have already caused these young people psychological damage," the teacher wrote in an email. "How can students possibly feel safe sharing any information in confidence with an administrator, their principal no less, who will then betray them by sharing it publicly with hundreds of their peers?"
San Lorenzo Unified Superintendent Dennis Byas said he became aware of the incident Sunday night and administration met with the female student's family Monday. Byas said the principal's attempt to give an example of bullying "went a little too far."
"You shouldn't give out any students name, whether correct or not. ... Either way that is an error," he said. "I think that he made a mistake and he tried to correct the situation as quickly as possible, but there are times that, sometimes the damage is done and when you try to correct the situation, you can only do so much."
Parent Claudia Picos, whose freshman daughter attends Arroyo, said the principal was wrong to handle the situation publicly.
"I think the principal can talk to him and the parents at the office. I don't think he should expose it to the other kids," she said.
Byas said he wants the community to know the actions won't be repeated.
"Our role is to protect every student in the district. That student is a very good student so we all apologized about that particular situation and that won't happen again," he said.
District school board President Norman Fobert said of the principal, "I can assure you that we take every matter seriously and we are sure that every matter is properly investigated because we are talking about a person's livelihood as well as his children. ... We have complete confidence in the process and our administrators."
Asked if any counseling would be offered to the students involved, Fobert said, "As with any incident, any incident that involves children and the effects of bullying by anyone, of course our prime objective in the school district is to have a safe learning environment and that is always the prime objective so we take any steps necessary to ensure that."
Smith said he had hoped students would take from the assembly an understanding, "That any student in this day in age can receive information via the Internet, via phone and to do the responsible thing and discard it and share it with administration."
"There is a lot of stuff being passed around via text messages, Instagram, Facebook ... It is a very difficult time we live in when everything that happens can get posted," Smith said.

Fraudulent activity on my checking Acct
Anyways.... my checking acct debit card was used for a few purchases overseas last week. Places like Germany, The UK etc... The things that were purchased were a train ticket to Berlin and someone tried paying their water utility bill in the UK as welll as smaller withdrawls to check to see if the acct was active I assume.
I know the train ticket one is a waste of time, meaning it's pointless trying to track this down cause it would be untrackable.
But the Water bill interested me. The amount charged was $320.99 ( very large water bill) The company was Angelian Water Services, (see links)
Now one could assume that with any utility payment there has to be an associated account number. So I am wondering if I should pursue this and see what information I can gather about the person that used my card#. What are the likely hood that the Water company gives me their info? Unlikely I'm sure.
Even though my bank gave me the money back that was charged and has since cancelled the card I would like to know what you guys think I should do, if anything at all. Maybe our UK friends on the site would lend a hand to a brother.

Even if you don't need them in a carrier, these panels are an excellent idea.
They can be cut down and used as a liner for your brief case, clip board, even the driver and passenger doors in your car or truck.
In the Gunco tradition, D-R is a pleasure to do business with and I recommend his products.
You guys carrying a briefcase or a 3-ring binder/planner should really consider these panels. It could save your life.

I have my bees in a place where there are too much thymes.
Thyme honey is very expensive , and there is a good market for it.
This year I have thought of a new manipulation, in order to collect the most of thyme honey from every hive.
But I need your opinions , if it is going to work, or if there is a trap I cannot see.
The flow starts about 10-15 of May and lasts about a month, if the weather is not extremely hot.
Three or four days before the flow start, I want to take the Queen out of each hive, with 2 frames of brood and 2 frames of honey and pollen, and make a split. The split will stay in the bee-yard, so all the foragers will return to the mother-hive. Next day the mother- hive, will go to the thymes.
The mother hive will raise a new queen, and there will be no brood for about a month, so all the nectar collected will be stored as honey. Am I right? After the honey harvest, I will recombine the split with the mother hive.
Do you see any problem in this manipulation?
Thank you all in advance for your answers.

For any mother it is very difficult to identify physical problem of baby especially when it is not visible such as ear infection. In such case she just makes some guesses and tries to identify reason of crying from symptoms of her child's physical problem. Ear infection in children is very common problem and there are some symptoms that you can understand that your baby have ear infection.

Learned a new trick (to me anyway) for peeling potatoes. Boil the potatoes with the skins ON. The skin comes right off. I did mashed potatoes for 70 and my hands did not hurt at all!!!!
Printable View
Learned a new trick (to me anyway) for peeling potatoes. Boil the potatoes with the skins ON. The skin comes right off. I did mashed potatoes for 70 and my hands did not hurt at all!!!!
Good to know because I am not getting any younger and old Arthur has been making my joints tender.
I gave up peeling spuds. I scrub em, cook em, then mash them. Fine restaurants do that, only they call them "crushed " .
I love "smashed" potatoes with skins - with garlic! But in case you really want to peel potatoes or apples, my daughter's occupational therapist made her a small cutting board with a nail poking up on it for stabilizing the fruit or vegetable while you peel. DD has cerebral palsy with good use of one arm and hand, so they were trying to find ways for her to cook before she went off to college. You can now buy ergonomic kitchen tools such as vegetable peelers with large handles to use along with the cutting board. Of course, DD never used either because she likes to bake potatoes in the microwave if she's cooking for herself.
I worked for a catering company for years and we always boiled the spuds in their skins then slipped them off once they were cooled down.
Me, I do not like mashed spuds, so I always cook them ways that leave the skins on.
I do peel carrots, unless they are fresh from the garden.
My mil eats canned spuds. I cannot imagine buying them that way but she seems to like them. She also used instant spuds made with milk.
As a retired Chef I have used that tip for years, but the best use for it is those lovely small new potatoes. Save having to scrape them just cook them in ordinary water until cooked strain and pop into a bowl of cold water. When they are cool enough to handle, skin them and pop them back into a pan with butter, salt, ground black pepper and fresh chopped mint, ooh delicious.
The other really useful tip, especially when there is just one or two of you, do a painful of potatoes at a time, strain and put into a bowl of cold water, run the tap slowly till they are completely cold, dry and pop into the fridge and use as needed, they are delicious sliced and cooked in your mornings breakfast bacon fat, ummmm
I really love mashed potatoes. But have not had them for quite a while until I found Betty Crocker's Potato Buds- 100% potatoes- in a box that actually fit the demands of my special diet....no butter, cheese or milk in the package.
In cooking on the stove I used olive oil, water, spices, and placed caramelized onions on top before serving. They were appreciated and my hands and body did not suffer from preparing them. I find it very difficult to stand in the kitchen for any length of time so this fit the ticket. My Mother who was a mother of 7- was a firm believer in using any help available and I do agree. Wegman's grocery store carries them.
My mom would take larger size potatoes par boil them with skins on ( par boil-Not completely cooked) let them cool. store in frig. and when she wanted to make the best homemade hash browns you ever ate!
Golden Yukons (sometimes just called Goldens) are fine when mashed with the peel which is thin. The skin is too thin to peel, anyway.

House Budget Committee Mark-Up: Reconciliation and Replacing the Sequester
Chairman Paul Ryan – Opening Remarks, As Prepared for Delivery
Welcome to today's mark-up. Today, this Committee meets to advance sensible spending restraints and to reprioritize savings called for under the Budget Control Act.
Last year, as we were coming up on the debt ceiling, the Obama administration asked Congress to rubber-stamp a blank-check increase in the federal government's borrowing authority. Then the President insisted that he would not accept a debt-ceiling deal that did not include large tax increases on American families and businesses. All of this work was made more difficult by the Senate's failure to pass any budgets at all.
Nevertheless, both parties came together to avoid defaulting on the government's obligations. We succeeded in protecting hardworking taxpayers by securing a debt-limit increase that contained zero tax hikes. Instead, we established caps on discretionary spending, achieving a minimum of approximately $917 billion in savings over ten years.
And we established a Joint Select Committee to produce at least $1.2 trillion in additional deficit reduction, backstopped by an automatic sequester. Despite a good-faith effort to avoid the sequester, the Committee's negotiations broke down over some very fundamental differences in visions for our nation's future.
In our view, we shouldn't be taking more from hardworking Americans to fix Washington's mistakes. Instead, we should be solving the problem with structural reforms to our entitlement programs to make them strong and sustainable.
We couldn't get agreement on those core principles, so the 2013 sequester is scheduled to impose a $109 billion across-the-board, inflexible, and arbitrary cut in spending on January 2, 2013.
Despite our differences, we again find ourselves in strong bipartisan agreement that the sequester is bad policy and should be replaced. The 10 percent across-the-board cut in defense spending from the sequester would quote, "hollow out" our national defense. Those aren't my words. That is how the Secretary of Defense describes it.
The 8 percent across-the-board cut in non-defense discretionary spending from the sequester would "inflict great damage on critical domestic priorities." Those aren't my words. Those words come from the President's budget.
That's why this committee and this House passed a responsible budget and why we're here today to meet our legal and our moral obligations to lead. Six House committees have reported legislation that would replace the sequester with common-sense spending reductions that members of both parties should be able to support.
The legislation before the committee today does five key things:
These savings will replace the arbitrary sequester cuts and lay the groundwork for further efforts to avert the spending-driven economic crisis before us. Unless we act, the sequester will take effect. I do not believe this is in the national interest, and the President claims that he agrees. There is no reason why we cannot work together to replace the sequester. House Republicans are bringing specific proposals to the table, and we invite the administration to do the same.

1) Alex Okafor (DE) - With the signing of Cullen Jenkins, the Giants go back to their bread and butter, the DE position. While the Giants would love to have Ansah, he's gone by this pick. Moore and Jones don't satisfy (low motors and/or inconsistent) and Werner I think goes higher despite his falling stock. Conversely, Okafor's stock didn't rise as high as it might have due to not being able to workout fully at the Combine and presents the best LDE replacement for Tuck in the draft after Werner.
2) Arthur Brown (LB) - Arthur Brown's stock doesn't rise much past where's it's been due to lack of highlight films but he's probably the most solid all-around LBer in the draft. Able to play any of the LBer positions, he translates well as our MLB of the future (something Khaseem Greene does not). I think the workout with Khaseem Greene is a smoke screen and only tips off where the Giants are targeting their LBer pick this year.
3) Darius Slay (CB) - While the Giants desperately need OL help (especially an answer at RT), they aren't thrilled with what falls to them at this point and prepare for CWeb's departure next year in solidifying the secondary. Slay is what the Giants look for in a CB in terms of size and speed and he slips slightly in the 3rd round due to lack of starting experience, making him a value pick.
4) Oday Aboushi (OT) - The Giants, yet again, wait until the 4th round for their potential answer at RT in Aboushi, Too rough and aggressive as an LT prospect, that attitude and his size serve him extremely well as a RT prospect. Big ole mean guy!
5) Bernie Logan (DT) - Otherwise known as meat. The Jenkins signing buys the Giants a year or two at the DT position but needs must at depth.
6) Ty Powell (LB) - Adding to our LBer corps, Powell has ideal size (6'2, 245), speed (4.65 40) and strength (28 reps). Very rough around the edges, he's a diamond in the rough.
7) Denard Robinson (WR) - Percy Harvin type minus the head aches, this is the kind of 7th round pick that excites Reese.

Old Spanish Days countdown begins with parties
Fiesta begins July 31, runs through Aug. 4
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Old Spanish Days officially begins at the end of July but organizers are hitting the ground running as they get ready for the Fiesta event.
Planning for Old Spanish Days is a year-round task. El Presidente Josiah Jenkins is putting his own mark on the festivities, not in their 89th year.
It's the final stretch of fundraising and planning for Fiesta.
"The last three months, May, June, July, it really ramps up," said Jenkins.
"We have constant meetings with the Old Spanish Days board. Things like dealing with the parade and all the activities and getting the mercados ready and all the permits. It's a huge, huge event that obviously takes months of planning ahead of time," said Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider.
Months of planning and nearly $1.5 million for the July 31 - Aug. 4 event.
"It's not cheap," said Jenkins.
The first party before Fiesta begins is La Primavera and it brought in $20,000 that goes directly back into Old Spanish Days.
The party is a big revenue-generator but it also is a place where the new El Presidente shows off this year's poster and pin.
"We got a unique piece. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins made the poster this year," said Jenkins at Sunday night's event.
The Fiesta leader kept it all in the family, much to his parents' surprise.
"I was just totally overwhelmed. I just didn't expect him to do that. He didn't tell us anything," said Karen Jenkins.
The 2013 theme is Vaqueros y Vaqueras.
"Hence the poster too, it puts together a cowboy and a cowgirl, be it my parents," said Jenkins with a smile.
With the countdown clock ticking away to the community-wide event, locals will be hearing a popular phrase sooner rather than later.
"Viva la Fiesta," said Jenkins.
"Viva la Fiesta! Ready to go. Start counting how many times you say it," said Schneider.
Upcoming Events:
Thursday, June 20
Fiesta Ranchera
Saturday, July 13
Costume Sale
Saturday, July 20
La Fiesta del Museo
Saturday, July 28
