Mind Blowing Beach Bling in Guantanamo Bay
Do you get excited when you find SEA GLASS? Me too! It's another beautiful gem most beachcombers love to collect while looking for shells and other BEACH BLING on any walk on any beach. Oddly enough, lots of our friends don't really get why we travel the world in search of beach treasure… until I tell them we found a honey hole for SEA GLASS. Then their ears perk up! LOL Well, since it's impossible to bring back enough SEAGLASS in our suitcase for everybody who wants some from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba… here is a CYBERSHELLING (CYBER-SEAGLASSING) photo from last week's adventure on Glass Beach in Gtmo (CLICK HERE for the history of this SEAGLASS). Just click on the next photo to enlarge it so you can find your own SEA GLASS. Fun! Then I'll show you some of the other cool BLING we found.
In my last post (CLICK HERE), I showed you some of the beautiful shells and areas we combed but couldn't really explain how much fun Clark, me, Lee and Susan had picking through the high tide dry wrack lines in search of Bling. See that incredible SEA FAN Susan found? Un-beee-liev-able!
I just loooove me some Bling! I'm trying to identify all of the different SEA URCHINS we found but it is not so easy. I'll try to get close up photos of each one but oh lawd, I need more time. So … I'm almost positive we have…. WEST INDIAN SEA EGGS, VARIEGATED URCHINS, LONG-SPINED URCHINS, CLUB-SPINED URCHINS, ROCK-BORING URCHINS and SEA BISCUITS. We could have picked up hundreds of the CLUB-SPINED SEA URCHINS that had probably gotten tossed up by a storm weeks before. They were in the highest wrack line and completely dried and preserved. Cool!
We also brought home SEA HEARTS, HAMBURGER BEANS (SEA BEANS), a few pieces of CORAL, 2 small SEA FANS, a few VERTEBRAE, PURPLE CRAB shells (haven't looked them up yet), OPERCULUMS, old turquoise CUBAN TILES and… you see that piece of striped POTTERY on the bottom right? Lee told me that piece probably dates back to the Spanish- American war era circa 1898. Amazing, right?
Lee found these pieces of POTTERY from the same era. Wow- Its almost a complete plate! He said he will donate some of the pieces to the base for history and environmental research. (Errrr…. my piece came home with me- it's way too cool! heehee)
Talk about cool… I found two complete old Cuban Hatuey beer GLASS BOTTLES made in the 1950s. These were so popular, Bacardi is now making this beer again.
More awesome BLING on the beach! Lee found this WWII US Navy uniform button while he was picking through the rock and pebbles looking for SEAGLASS like in the CYBERSHELLING pic. Whoot Whoot!
Let me show you just a few more shell photos before I sign out for the day…. Clark found these spectasheller THORNY OYSTERS that haven't even been really cleaned up yet. They are gorgeous. We find these in SW Florida but most times they are only fragments.
Here's the interior of one…
Lee found the mac daddy of the THORNY OYSTERS- it's huge and with some good spines…. Both sides!
It was completely packed with hard mud and limestone so it will take a little work to get this baby cleaned up but it will be well worth it. It's a beauty!
I always think these are so funny…. the BLEEDING TOOTH. Shall I say more?
These are some of my favorite minis we found this trip… BEADED MITERS.
Clark was excited (and me too) to find this HEXAGONAL MUREX since we've never found one before.
It's always a thrill to find a new shell!
Again, we have to thank Lee and Susan for sponsoring us, being our shelling guides and letting us share this extraordinary place with everybody to learn what types of shells we can all find in the other Caribbean Islands. We are forever grateful.
I will get more shells cleaned up and photographed soon but the FLAME HELMETS are so shellsational, I had to add show you these before I go out and hit my home beach. It was fabulous finding shells in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba but it's always so wonderful to be back home on Sanibel Island… especially with a cool evening low tide. Have a nice weekend!Read More
Tiny Sea Urchins And Beach Bling At Lighthouse Beach
SEA URCHINS! I haven't seen SEA URCHINS washed up on our shores in quite a while… much less cutie itty bitty ones like this.
I found dried tiny ones with spines as well…
Normally if SEA URCHINS still have their spines in tact I would assume they were still alive and put them back in the water. But I found these in the highest wrack line at Lighthouse Beach. They had been cast on shore by those rough waves from the high winds last week with the high tide and got caught in the "sea weeds" then left for days to dry out. They look like the gumballs that the Sweetgum trees drop in the winter up north, dont they? LOL
I normally don't get so excited to collect PEN SHELLS (since we see them so often on our beaches) but I rarely see perfectly intact baby STIFF PEN SHELLS (on the left of my hand) and SAW TOOTH PENS SHELLS especially with no BARNACLES or SLIPPER SHELLS attached to them. They are so cute!
See how thick this wrack line was? Some people in other parts of the world might think this was an ugly site on a beach… but not me and most beach combers. This is a haven for shells and BEACH BLING for beach combers and for wildlife as well. Thick wrack lines like this packed with all sort of vegetation and other sealife are so important for our beach ecosystem. They provide food for birds and other wildlife as well as providing a layer to trap sand for less erosion. They become incubators for dunes!
But… Just to make sure this seaweed was a natural occurrence without being harmful, I asked my friend and director of the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) Dr. Eric Milbrandt if he knew what types of matter had washed ashore. Of course he did! He said "There were 8 species from collections at Moonshadows beach and the Lighthouse beach. Many of the specimens had intact holdfasts and given the recent > 1 m wave heights, were likely attached and cast on shore. Many of these species are found at nearshore hardbottom areas (the same areas that produce many of the mollusc shells) whose abundance peaks in Nov." He also reported that most of these species of seaweed (macroalgae) were common on all coasts. Thank you Dr. Milbrandt!
Along with the PEN SHELLS and SEA URCHINS tucked away in all that seaweed, Clark and I found hundreds of double DOSINIAS…
And a very cool completely intact dried (and non-stinky!) SPIDER CRAB…
Clark found a double SAILORS EAR (CHANNELED DUCK CLAM) without any cracks. It's funny, we rarely find them on the beach with both sides intact because they are just so dang delicate…
I haven't gotten a good dose of combing through cool BEACH BLING in a while so I was in haaaawg heaven. There were oodles of little micro shells, SEA WHIPS and other goodies so I could (and did) walk for miles and miles getting lost in discovering the fascinating gifts that Mother Nature leaves us on our beaches.Read More
I Kinda Know An Echinoderm (Video)
A CLUB SPINED SEA URCHIN is an ECHINODERM….and so is the GREEN SEA URCHIN (or also called the VARIEGATED SEA URCHIN)…
This post is a continuation of our snorkeling Road Trip To Seashells In The Florida Keys because I had to do a little more research on these SEA URCHINS I saw this past weekend. We have all kinds of ECHINODERMS (pronounced ek-EYE- no-derms) on Sanibel which include SEA STARS, SAND DOLLARS, SEA CUCUMBERS and SEA URCHINS but these are slightly different AND I wanted to share this word with you…. I love to say it …."Echinoderm". Ha!
It was fun to see this "hairy" BRITTLE STAR (also an Echinoderm) while so many beautiful tropical fish casually swam by painting the sea with bright blues with stripes of yellows and greens.
So come on in the water with me and enjoy snorkeling the underwater world in only 5 to 12 feet of water around the Florida Keys.The water's fine!Read More

There is something strange about all film musicals. Moments of great drama, punctuated by song and dance; it somehow makes a lot more sense on a stage, with all the accepted artificiality of the theatre. Nevertheless, it is nearly 90 years since the film largely considered to be the first musical – The Jazz Singer – hit the screen, and it is now as established a form of cinematic storytelling as any other genre. We might not be in the golden period for musicals as the 1930s and 1950s were, but popular, successful musicals are still released every year.
Of course, as with any genre, filmmakers have played with the form over the decades – experimenting, adjusting it for modern audiences, and attempting to push back the boundaries of what a "musical" really is. Spike Lee's latest movie Chi-raq is a great example of this. It's a modern retelling of the classic Greek play Lysistrata, which transposes the drama to inner-city Chicago and tells the story of a 'sex strike' by a group women in an attempt to curb the rising tide of gun violence amongst their menfolk. Lee tells this story using not songs – a mix of hip hop, gospel and R'n'B – but has his cast speak in rhyming verse through the entire film.
Lee is hardly the first high profile director to tackle the musical with strange results. While the 1970s was an unremarkable decade for the more generic, mainstream musical, a stream of more subversive examples flourished, often directed by emerging talents who would rise to even greater prominence in the years to come. The Rocky Horror Picture Show might be the cult '70s horror musical that everyone knows, but Brian De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise is the most audacious. A glam rock retelling of The Phantom of the Opera, it is a dazzling, dark and hilarious fable that failed both critically and commercially, but now stands as one of the most distinctive musicals of the era, with an intense lead performance and striking songs from renowned songwriter Paul Williams.
Even more mad is Ken Russell's Lisztomania, which bamboozled audiences in 1975. Loosely adapted from a biography of classical composer Franz Liszt, it was second musical that Russell released that year, following his Who classic Tommy. Like Tommy, Lisztomania stars Roger Daltrey, playing the composer alongside other rock'n'roll luminaries such as Ringo Starr and Rick Wakeman, who also wrote the music. Throw into the mix Thor, fellow composer Richard Wagner depicted as a zombified Hitler, murder, religious mania and considerable phallic imagery, and you have a film that only someone of Russell's flamboyant disposition could deliver.
Moments of great drama, punctuated by song and dance; it somehow makes a lot more sense on a stage, with all the accepted artificiality of the theatre.
While any film is ultimately a director's vision, the songs are just as important to any musical. The likes of Russell and De Palma used established songwriters to concoct their films' tunes, but there are examples of emerging composers getting their first breaks in the realms of the oddball musical. Long before he was one of Hollywood's most famous composers, Danny Elfman was the frontman for '80s new wave combo Oingo Boingo. Elfman and his band provided the songs – and appeared in – his brother Richard's wonderfully strange, raunchy 1980 black-and-white musical fantasy Forbidden Zone. Elfman also plays Satan as a Cab Calloway-style crooner in the movie and the songs include such classics as 'Bim Bam Boom', 'Journey Through the Intestines' and 'Squeezit and the Chickens.'
Another future talent – or rather, pair of talents – who kickstarted their careers with a truly bizarre movie musical are South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Cannibal: The Musical was their 1993 debut, and it tells the story of real-life cannibal killer Alfred Packer, an early 20th century prospector who killed and ate his unlucky companions one harsh winter. Parker and Stone's film contrasts the grim subject matter with some jolly, uplifting showtunes, including a hilarious pastiche of 'Oh, What a Beautiful Morning', from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical Oklahoma!
But for all the unusual musical avenues of the above, they all retain some level cinematic merit, something which cannot be said of Toomorrow or The Apple. Toomorrow is little seen and remembered even less; this 1970 disaster was developed by Bond producer Harry Saltzman and Monkees impresario Don Kirshner, and starred Olivia Newton-John as the leader of a teenage pop group who get abducted by aliens. This unfortunate musical mess played cinemas for just one week before it was withdrawn, and Kirshner subsequently declared that it would never seen the light of day in his lifetime. It finally hit DVD in 2012, one year after his death.
Finally, 1980's The Apple has a reputation as one of the worst films ever made, which is the sort of label that pretty much guarantees a dedicated cult following. A glittery sci-fi extravaganza packed with a ridiculous disco anthems, this futuristic yarn about youthful rebellion and the evils of the music industry at times feels like it was made by a madman – or at the very least, someone who never actually seen a musical before. All together now: "Like the bleary eyed baboon to an organ grinder's tune, mankind screamies for whatever kind of dreamies we might treat them to…" Chart-topping stuff.

Five Defendants Sentenced for Their Roles in Federal Racketeering Conspiracy
CHARLOTTE, NC—Matthew Newland, 41, of Iowa, was sentenced on Tuesday, January 27, 2015, by Senior U.S. District Judge Graham C. Mullen to serve 13 months in prison followed by one year of supervised release on federal racketeering charges, announced the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of North Carolina. Four other defendants were sentenced earlier this month.
The U.S. Attorney's Office is joined in making today's announcement by John A. Strong, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Charlotte Division, Thomas J. Holloman III, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CI.) These convictions are the latest in Operation Wax House, an investigation which began in 2007. Of the 91 individuals charged, eighty-nine defendants have either pleaded guilty or have been convicted following trial. The two remaining defendants are international fugitives.
According to court records and Tuesday's sentencing hearing, Newland operated as a promoter in the conspiracy and received more than $400,000 in kickbacks for his role. Newland also served as a seller in one transaction, letting approximately $240,000 in kickbacks be paid out of the loan proceeds to his co-conspirators. Newland pled guilty to RICO conspiracy to commit bank fraud in June 2013.
The other five defendants sentenced this month are:
On January 27, 2015, Lorie Dooley, 50, of Charlotte, N.C., was sentenced to 46 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Dooley was also a promoter in the enterprise's mortgage fraud operations and received approximately $25,000 in kickbacks for her role. In addition to the mortgage fraud, Dooley engagedin a bank bribery scheme, in which she received $63,000 from a co-conspirator and paid a bank employee $55,000 to provide a bogus letter of credit. Also, when Dooley learned that the bank employee had pleaded guilty, Dooley obstructed justice, attempting to threaten and intimidate that employee. Dooley pleaded guilty to RICO conspiracy to commit bank fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering conspiracy in January 2014. She has been in custody since her arrest on these charges in May 2013.
On January 20, 2015, Travis Bumpers, 38, of Charlotte, was sentenced to 66 months in prison and three years of supervised release. Bumpers was a promoter in both the enterprise's mortgage fraud and investment fraud operations. Bumpers engaged in multiple mortgage fraud transactions, arranging for a straw buyer, providing down payment money, and receiving more than $800,000 in kickback money through a sham corporation. Bumpers also engaged in extensive investment fraud, defrauding approximately 70 victims out of more than $4.6 million. Bumpers pleaded guilty to RICO conspiracy to commit securities fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy in March 2013. He has been in custody since his arrest on these charges in November 2012.
On January 8, 2015, Ralph Johnson, 37, of Charlotte, was sentenced to 27 months in prison and two years of supervised release. Johnson was a promoter in the enterprise's mortgage fraud operations, helping arrange multiple fraudulent transactions and provide straw buyers in exchange for approximately $360,000 in kickbacks. Johnson pleaded guilty to RICO conspiracy to commit bank fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering conspiracy in June 2013. He has been in custody since his arrest on these charges in April 2013.
Also on January 8, 2015, Benjamin Clarke, 41, of Atlanta, Ga. was sentenced to an eight month split sentence, followed by two years of supervised release. Clarke served the enterprise as a buyer for two properties purchased as part of its mortgage fraud operations and received approximately $200,000 in kickbacks. Clarke pleaded guilty to bank fraud in June 2013.
Of the 26 six defendants charged in this indictment, 18 await sentencing, including three of the scheme's leaders. The fourth leader, Ramin Amini, 46, last known address Tehran, Iran, is one of two international fugitives.
Operation Wax House in the Western District of North Carolina is being handled by the Charlotte Division of the FBI and the Criminal Division of the IRS for the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, along with the Securities Division of the North Carolina Secretary ofState with respect to a separate prosecution. The Operation Wax House prosecution is being handled for the government by Assistant United States Attorney Maria K. Vento.
Today's announcement is part of efforts underway by President Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF) which was created in November 2009 to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. With more than 20 federal agencies, 94 U.S. attorneys' offices and state and local partners, it's the broadest coalition of law enforcement, investigatory and regulatory agencies ever assembled to combat fraud. Since its formation, the task force has made great strides in facilitating increased investigation and prosecution of financial crimes; enhancing coordination and cooperation among federal, state and local authorities; addressing discrimination in the lending and financial markets and conducting outreach to the public, victims, financial institutions and other organizations. Since the inception of FFETF in November 2009, the Justice Department has filed more than 12,841 financial fraud cases against nearly 18,737 defendants including nearly 3,500 mortgage fraud defendants. For more information on the task force, visit www.stopfraud.gov.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 4, 1996, New Braunfels, Texas 40Htarajd-Z^ Opinion A To talk with Managing Editor Doug Loveday about the Opinion page, can 625-9144, ext. 21 I H a Id 7 o I t ii n I QUOTABLE "The more journalism I read and do, the more convinced I am ~ that only ideas have large and lasting consequences ~ and that books are die primary carriers of ideas. Including books of poetry and fiction." — George F. WHI columnist, author 1995 editorial Fire threat from fireworks County should enact ban on sale of fireworks to individuals if drought persists If drought conditions persist, Comal County commissioners should look to join a group of other Texas county leaders in enacting a ban on fireworks during the duration of dry weather. Panhandle counties that have already banned the sale of fireworks to individuals include Randall, Deaf Smith and Gray. Others considering a ban or placing restrictions on sales (such as banning the sale of aerial fireworks) include Roberts, Hartley and Potter counties. What*s unique about this effort to guard against brush fires caused by fireworks is that it is supported, in large measure, by the very manufacturers of the fireworks. The Texas Pyrotechnic Association told an AP reporter that tile group supports restrictions on sales because fires caused by fireworks would be bad publicity for their industry, as well as a threat to life and property in die state. They're protecting their business interests. And that's OK. The governor has said he would not enact any statewide or regional ban on fireworks, but when asked by a county's commissioners for a ban, he would do so at the local level. Comal County has suffered mightily from the drought — not only in the levels of our rivers, but also in the condition and health of our lawns and pastures. Several bum bans have been enacted in Comal County, only to be lifted after brief respites from the drought Firefighters are especially alert to blazes caused by fireworks around the Fourth of July, and this year will be no exception. If the rains we've enjoyed during the past few days continue, we may be in better shape than other counties in the Panhandle that have enacted bans on fireworks sales. But if the overall dry conditions continue, the county should ban the sale and use of fireworks here. Too much can go wrong. (Today's editorial was written by Managing Editor Doug Loveday.)

Opinion Onlino contact ■To submit letters and guest columns electronically by way of online services or Internet or to simply contact staff members, the managing editor's address is DLovedayOAOL.com.Dole should follow his wife's lead The gathering of many of Cslifomis's Republican leaders st a $l,000-pcr-pl*tc fund-raiser May 16 might have been a wake had it not been for Sen. Bob Dole's announcement the day before that he was quitting the Senate and had it not been far the honoree, Elizabeth Dole. Mrs. Dole worked the crowd using a wireless microphone, calling people by name as she passed their tables and delivering a flawless speech without Doles and without the security of a podium lo stand behind. Her rhetorical triumph brought hope to a crowd Hut was worried about die Republican Party's prospects after reading one too many polls showing Dole far behind President Clinton. 'This election ta about die character of America," said Mrs. Dole. She didn't say it was about the dander of the candidates but of the country, it ta rn important distinction. A Wall Street Joumal/NBC News poll last week found that by a margin of 54 percent to 26 percent voters say a presidential candidate's potations on issues are more important than personal character and experience. So if duty, honor, country have faded away along with Gen. Douglas MacArthur, we will find out in November. Meanwhile, it's time for Bob Dole to follow up his class act with act two. He should begin by stressing economic issues, because these are the great unifiers of the party, and it desperately needs to be unified. He would begin a conversation with the public about the proper role of government: Why should we be focusing more on growth than the deficit, and why will an across-the-board tax cut produce greafeer revenue for government by stimulating business and creating new jobs? Elizabeth Dole says her husband carries of a copy of the 10th Amendment with turn as a reminder that powers not specifically delegated to the federal government or forbidden to the states are reserved for the states and the people. What that means and how government has violated that amendment should be Bob Dole's message. Mrs. Dole summarized the unfairness of the current tax code in one easy-to-understand sentence: 'The average worker pays more in taxes than for food, shelter and clothing combined.** Is it fair that tax freedom for most came on May 7 this year, meaning the average American doesn't get to keep what he earns until more than one-third of the year has expired? And Dole should remind us who will be in charge of government if he and congressional Republicans lose. It will be unredeemed liberals like Reps. Charles Rangel of New York, Henry Waxman of California; and David Obey of Wisconsin. The 1994 election was; supposed to be about change. The 1996 election; ought not to be about returning power to the very peo-j pie who caused die voters* wrath. Someone suggested at the GDP dinner that Eliza-! beth Dole should debate Hillary Clinton. That won't; happen, bitt Bob Dole can begin debating Bill Clinton now. He can doit with GOP-financed commer-i dais featuring Clinton debating himself. The president can be cast as a promise-breaker, unreliable, lacking: in conviction and as superficial as floor wax — all gloss and no depth. Rather than attack Clinton directly, let him be shown as a snake-oil salesman, who tells his listeners exactly what they want to hear about ''cures** for their pain which he claims to feel. After a campaign of Clinton vs. Clinton, the focus! should then be on the character of the voters: whether they believe character counts, or nothing counts. And then Bob Dole can promote his agenda. According to his wife, it's "strict constructionist judges with no legislating from the bench, no more hollow mil-; itary — we have many other enemies durn the evil' empire" and the tax problem. Bob Dole should repeat his wife's speech. It; brought down the house in Los Angeles, and it could; bring down President Clinton.

Its two American crew members ejected safely and were rescued in good condition. Japan quickly apologized for the accident, which happened at 7:15 p.m. HST Monday (1:15 a.m. EDT today) as the U.S. Navy's A-6E Intruder was towing a gunnery target 1,600 miles west of Hawaii. The Japanese vessel Yuugin fired at the target but hit the plane, and it crashed in the Pacific. The pilot and bombardier, whose names were not immediately released, were rescued within minutes by the Yuugiri and were able to walk on their own power. Japanese officials said one crew member had a minor cut to the abdomen, the other only bruises. The men were taken by helicopter to their home Today In History By The Associated Press Today is Tuesday, June 4, the 156th day of 1996. There are 210 days left in the year.

"It's a unique and unfortunate accident, but it's not a tragedy because we recovered both crew members in good condition," Capt Steve Clawson, spokesman for the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The Japanese Defense Agency apologized to the U.S. military and decided to halt shooting practice using live ammunition, said spokesman Tomohide Matsumura. The 450-foot Yuugiri, which carries a crew of about 200, was using a 22 mm weapons system capable of firing bursts of 3,000 rounds per minute, said Tensuke Kobayashi, a Japanese navy official. Kobayashi said mechanical trouble in die weapons system may have caused the accident. "Apparently the missiles were launched when In 1944, the U.S. 5th Army entered Rome, beginning the liberation of the Italian capital during World Warn. In 1947, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the Taft-Hartlcy Act.

Richard Florida's March cover story in The Atlantic Monthly, "How the Crash Will Reshape America," offers bold predictions on how the financial meltdown will affect our economic infrastructure. Florida surmises that cities with well-educated residents and diverse economies, like San Francisco and New York, will gain strength, while post-industrial towns like Detroit and St. Louis will swirl down the toilet. It's a great read — if you don't live in Detroit or St. Louis. The crash will certainly reshape the recording industry as well, albeit in completely different ways. Let's have a look into the old crystal ball to see what will happen to the music business.
Sparked by iTunes' recent decision to raise the prices of hit songs, revenues from recorded music will decline even further. The company's 2010 increase to $1.99 per track will spark a nationwide revolt, causing Flo Rida's latest single, "Conga" — in which he raps over the Miami Sound Machine song of the same name — to sell a mere three downloads. The drying-up of major-label profits will also strike a fatal blow for music magazines. Following Blender's recent demise will be the shuttering of Spin, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Ukulele Magazine, Flute Talk, and then, when the last remaining batch of GWAR fans expires around the time of Malia Obama's first term, Metal Edge.
No longer able to count on proceeds from music sales, rockers will sign increasingly dubious endorsement deals. Guitar Hero will launch a Groupies series, licensing Usher for its initial offering, Love in This Club. The members of Wilco will agree to wear Banana Republic sweaters on the covers of their albums. The Kills' Alison Mosshart will be forced to smile in public as Crest's new spokesmodel. Previously tour-shy rappers will perform together on increasingly oversize bills to maximize revenue. This trend will be highlighted in 2016 by the Asher Roth/Lupe Fiasco/Rick Ross Jr./Lil Lil Wayne jointly headlined "It's Crowded on This Bus" tour.
Ticketmaster and Live Nation's merger will inspire the consolidation of other ticket dispensing outlets. This will make a night out more convenient, expensive, and odd. For example, those seeking to attend Green Day's 2030 sold-out rock opera, American Incontinent, need only visit the newly merged StubHub and Craigslist Web site, where they'll be able to purchase tickets at a mere 300 percent of face value and find a leatherclad she-male to bring along as a date.
The major labels, meanwhile, will eventually combine into one company and will drop all of their artists except for Panic! At the Disco and U2, who will join forces under the name P.U.! Recorded music in general will be distributed entirely through mobile devices. Subscribers will be billed directly through their phone companies: $20 a month will allow you unlimited downloads, and for an extra $10, Lily Allen will record your outgoing message in a mockney accent.
Geographically, New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville will lose their prominence as music industry hubs. Rising rents and the failure of the barista stimulus plan will drive working musicians out of these metropolises in droves. Meanwhile, bedroom recordists like Wavves, Jay Reatard, and Deerhunter will force their kid sisters onto the streets as they move back in with their parents and reclaim the biggest closets. Using increasingly sophisticated home recording equipment and subsisting on $15 a week parental allowances, the acts will create new indie-rock meccas in San Diego, Memphis, and Atlanta. These scenes will usher in a new era of underground music. Unfortunately, that golden age will unravel when Ryan Adams and Adam Duritz, in their continuing efforts to regain long-lost hipster cred, descend and begin rehabbing colonials. What a long, strange trip it will have been.

The Unfinished Sympathy is a rock band from Barcelona, Spain.
They started playing in January 2000 and in December the same year they recorded their first album, self-titled. In October 2001 they made their first European tour across France, Belgium and England, where they recorded the first Peel Session in the BBC studios for a Spanish band ever.
In 2002 they played with bands such as Bad Religion, Jimmy Eat World or Dover. Then, toured with Joshua and again, this time with Maple. And after those tours they entered the studio to record their second LP, called 'An Investment in Logistics' in December 2002.
The album was released in early 2003, and received a great acceptance from the music world: Mondo Sonoro magazine designated 'An Investment in Logistics' as the best 2003's album and they reached the top of the national independent scene in a very short time. And thanks to this, John Peel invited them to record their second Peel Session in December 2003.
In next year's spring they entered the studio again to record 'Rock for Food', their third album. This Living Kills appeared as single early, but the album was not released until September 2004.
Rock for Food was also acclaimed and the RockZone Magazine designated the album as the 2004 best in Spain.
Up to that moment they've been recording with BCore, but in 2005 they swithed to Subterfuge Records to record their fourth album, called We Push You Pull, appeared in October 2006.
Spin in the Rye is the first, and up to date, only single from We Push You Pull.

Typical COE park. A little off the beaten path: 11 miles from route 70. Had good dish and mi fi Verizon. Quiet. All types of sites from 50amp to 30amp. Some with, some without H2O. Mostly gravel. - Supdog11
Oct 2015 - $5.00
Rate reflects America The Beautiful Senior pass, and off-season discount. This is one of three COE parks located on Wilson Lake. Lucas Park is located on the north side of the lake about 2 miles west of highway 232 and Sylvan Park COE campground. Lucas Park is quiet and secluded. The road from highway 232 into the Lucas Park campground is fully paved as well as the road through the park. The campground loops and site are good gravel based. Look carefully at each site when making a selection as each loop has some sites that include electric and water, as well as sites with electric only, and other sites with no services. There are many pull through sites as well as back-in sites in each of the three loops. Each of the loops have a small playground for the younger campers. Beach and boat access is also available within the park. - Johnson's
Sep 2009 - $8.00
Not much shade at the Lucas Park site but very nice lake front park. Have to look hard for a level site though. Locals use the park and seem to love it. Honors Golden Age/Senior cards. The best deal of the trip! Handy dump station. - Peeko

Beautiful views of the lake. Very quiet. Close to I-70. Easy to find and navigate.
Single shower house and restroom is huge in my experience. Only issue there was the water temp was not adjustable and very warm, almost too warm.
Second time stay and would stay again. - bobojay
Aug 2015 - $10.00
We stayed here a bit over 3 years ago and the park is the same park it was back then. The water and electric were adequate. You will want to use your pressure regulator to tone down the water pressure. There is a nice dump station at the park entrance. The thing that has changed is that the park employees here now are among the worst we have ever encountered in a COE park. They are just plain lazy but that could be because they may have poor management. They did the unthinkable and neglected to put the reserved signs out for sites reserved the day before so we had to cut our stay short. The checkin kiosk is rarely manned during the week so you cannot get needed information. Also, one of my pet peeves is recycling bins; there are none here. Come on Corps of Engineers get with the program! We might stay here again and hope there has been personnel turnover. - Kent and Margaret

Very nice campground overlooking the lake. Not very crowded at all during the week. Big pull-through site with water and 30 amp. Only drawback would be 7 miles off the interstate on a bumpy two-lane road. We would camp here again if traveling through the area. - RSR

Loved this park! It's quiet with squirrels, rabbits, birds and lots of big cottonwood trees. There's a nearly 1 mile nature walk about 1/4 mile down the road. - User3146

The rate is off season with senior pass. There are a few sites with sewer hookup but locked at this time of year. Water and electric worked fine. Sites are long enough to accommodate any size camping unit and very level. Very nice CoE park with trails, playground for children. Park is in a pleasant grove of trees. - Katy29

I first went to the State Park at Wilson lake but the cost to stay was quite high. The nice rangers redirected me to this COE park up by the dam. It has nice level gravel sites in a grass and tree camp area. Lots of extra big pull-through sites as it is a custom there in Kansas to pull a boat trailer behind a super big 5th wheel. Very nice restroom/shower facilities. Stay here and save money. - Traveler John

City-run small park adjacent to city park. Check in during normal hours at City Hall. Very friendly staff, no staff on RV site itself. Wonderful old trees, seldom used City Park (Lincoln, unfortunately, has dwindled in population like many small Kansas farming towns). Charming old stone band stand adjacent to RV stalls. Enough room between stalls. Several longer-term RVers so if you want to use this as a stopping off place, as we did, you need to contact the city well ahead of time to make sure they have spaces. One of a kind small town place to stay in the middle of wheat country. - Cannondaler

Just posting that this is still an RV park and is open, since no reviews since 2009. $20 is for electric only as other utilities are questionable or non-existant depending on site. No facilities as far as I could see. Sewer connection in ground. Owner asks that you are careful not to drive over them. Just open hole in the grass. Mostly long-term I think. We are happy to be here since another park in Salina couldn't give us a site where our rooftop satellite would work. Here we are on a site right along the road and very open. Luckily we had water onboard. 50 amp outlets / need adapter for 30. OK for an overnight stay. Park is on frontage road just past John Deere. - pubtopoub

Very quiet place to stay, also very easy access to highway 70 and 156 towards Great Bend, Kansas. It sits right off the hwy 156 and its middle way to Salina, Kansas and Great Bend, Kansas. I would recommend this place to everyone. - cwiggles

The Chimes Of TimeMature
Zoya, a 21st century woman reflects on friendship in this trip down memory lane and rediscovers all that matters in her life and more!
Ma, I can't find my new ear-rings!"
"I left it on your bed Alisha.", comes my exasperated reply.
"Ayaan! Just bring it right back… Ma!!!"
"Ayaan, return your sister's stuff please!", I command my son.
These kids! Sigh!
There is a crisis in the house. It's packed with half a dozen teen aged friends of my daughter's. They're here, in all earnest, to help me with the arrangements for Alisha's birthday party, but I dread to think about the state of our house once they're done.
Presently the ancient clock announces the onset of 4 o' clock in the evening, chiming it's age old tune, ushering a familiar sense of anxiety within me. I have always been one who does things in the 'T'th hour. The breakneck pace, the adrenalin rush and the sheer exhilaration of it all, I confess, gives me quite a high. And thus yet again, I'm about three hours behind schedule, preparing for a party at 5 pm and with well over two dozen things to be ticked off the list…And my 'helping hands' are becoming more of a handicap.
"Ma! Milee Aunty is on the line… quick!"
Leaving the half filled samosas to the cook, I trip over a stool, but reach for the phone sans any dislocated bones, leaving in my wake a protesting cook and a teen-aged daughter, rolling her eyes, who (thankfully!) has inherited her father's primness.
Milee, my sister-in-law and best friend since childhood quickly fills me in with all the hullabaloo of her life in France, her job as an apparel designer with a Parisian firm and her three boys ( my teenaged twin nephews, and the third being my own twin brother!)
"Oh! I hear the 'jeans and kurta' look has made a comeback!", she exclaims.
"Well yeah! Alisha would have nothing else for her birthday!"
"Thank God! It was heavenly during our college days. Remember the shopping trips to Com Street? And…". The doorbell rings and I'm forced to cut short my conversation.
"Daddy, Daddy… please! I want to see it first."
"No me! It's my birthday cake."
"Okay wait, both of you!" Relax, let me first put it on the table!", his protests are drowned as my eleven year old son and his sister pounce on the cake. Any bystander would think we raise these two without ever giving them a piece of cake!
"Zoya! Is everything ready for the evening?", my husband's voice brings me back to terra firma and I dive back into the kitchen.
Before I know it, but mercifully after all the starters are ready, the multitude of guests arrives. The house is brimming with people, my parents and in-laws, my husband's friends and more of my children's friends.
"Hey! Where are all the girls of your class?", I tease my daughter, noticing that two out of every three of her friends were guys. She gives me an exasperated look (which plainly says," Mom! You're embarrassing me!") and drags her friends away across the front yard.
"Ma! How come you never invite any of your friends?", my son suddenly wants to know.
I look around and images from my own teenaged days flash in front of my eyes.
Oh! All the things we did, the high and mighty speeches we gave and the lofty promises we made. Intoxicated by our youthfulness, life seemed so perfect.
"Oh! Right Milee Aunty and Mama stay really far to make it to our parties!", he quips, satisfying his own curiosity.
The evening rolls over, guests leave and the routine gift opening ceremony drags into the wee hours of the following morning. Then it's on to settling down my daughter's friends who are staying back for the sleep over. Their enthusiasm is yet to subside… It's 3 a.m. by the time I finally step into bed. But a questions still lingers in my head…

Dr. Lowman's response to Lee Lakeman of vancouver rape relief
here is John Lowman's response to Lee Lakeman's attack on his testimony at the Missing Women's Commission of Inquiry. Lowman's article includes some interesting history on these issues in Canada, including on the perspective of the 1970 Royal Commission on the Status of Women.
Missing Women, Feminism and Prostitution
Outsiders to the Sister Outsiders: A Response to Lee Lakeman/Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter
John Lowman, SFU School of Criminology, November 6, 2011
On October 13th 2011 Vancouver Rape Relief and Women Shelter posted on its web site1 Lee Lakeman"s commentary on my testimony at the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry.
Lakeman accuses me of numerous sins, including "sleight of hand, trick of phrase [and] ideological advocacy." In this vein, she claims that when I responded to a question about my research on prostitution, I neglected to mention "forty years of feminist work on this issue demanding decriminalization of the women and the criminalization of pimps and johns and bawdy house owners,
Vancouver sex worker groups and supporter launch Ombudsman complaint against the federal government
VANCOUVER, February 24, 2011 — Vancouver sex worker groups and supporters have launched a complaint to the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime against the federal government's decision to exclude sex workers from the national strategy on missing and murdered women.
"Unbelievably, thirteen Canadian governments – federal, provincial and territorial –totally ignored violence against sex workers in the national strategy," says Susan Davis, Coordinator of the BC Coalition of Experiential Communities."
The February 16th complaint strongly urges Federal Ombudsman Sue O'Sullivan to use the powers of her office to recommend the federal government immediately work with Canadian sex worker organizations to support sex workers' urgent needs for safety and protection.
'We wrote the Prime Minister and every Justice Minister in Canada in December demanding they take action on sex worker safety and got back a couple of pro forma responses" says Kerry Porth, Executive Director of Providing Alternatives Counselling and Education Society (PACE).
"Our governments seem to be saying sex workers are not acceptable as victims of violence. We need the Ombudsman to make them understand that sex workers, who often endure extreme violence, have the same right to protection as every other Canadian."
Established in 2007, the Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime (OFOVC) ensures the federal government meets its responsibilities to victims of crime and is empowered to make recommendations on its findings. Victims can file a complaint to the Ombudsman about any federal agency or federal legislation dealing with victims of crime including when they believe "Canada's laws or policies for victims of crime do not meet their needs."
Davis noted the tri-lateral government report on missing and murdered women was the foundation for the national strategy that governments announced in mid-October, pointing out that despite a report mandate that included sex industry workers, no report recommendation addressed violence against sex workers. The federal government later announced $10 million in national strategy funding, but not a single dollar was allocated to sex worker safety needs,
"We live in a city where dozens of sex workers have been murdered over the last 30 years while knowing that violence against sex workers happens right across our country," says Davis.
"We're begging government to work with sex workers to show us commitment and action. Their indifference is killing us."
The following organizations are parties to the Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime complaint:
BC Coalition of Experiential Communities – Exotic Dancers for Cancer - FIRST Decriminalize Sex Work – HUSTLE: Men on the Move – The Naked Truth Entertainment - Providing Alternatives Counseling and Education Society (PACE) – PEERS Vancouver - Pivot Legal Society - West Coast Cooperative of Sex Industry Professionals - WISH Drop-in Centre Society
Missing women forums kick off
If Wally Oppal didn't know what he was getting into before, the commissioner of the missing-women inquiry found out yesterday.
Ahead of his formal inquiry, the former attorney general hosted a public forum in the Downtown Eastside last night and heard from politicians, community activists, residents and advocates, all of whom told him how the system has failed dozens of women and thrown them into the hands of predators like serial killer Robert Pickton.
"I believe your greatest challenge in this public inquiry is to produce a report that cannot be ignored," MP Libby Davies told Oppal. "It must be a report that addresses the deeply disturbing and egregious crimes done to our society."
Nothing from last night's pre-hearing forum, or from the second one scheduled for tomorrow, can be used as evidence when formal proceedings begin in June, but Oppal said the comments will help him shape the inquiry.
"We want to hear from (the community), what went wrong and how we can prevent these wrongs from taking place in the future," Oppal said.
Sex, sin and Craigslist
In response to requests by Justice Minister Rob Nicholson and four provinces, fuelled by lobbying by groups opposed to prostitution and human trafficking, Craigslist recently removed the "Erotic Services" section of its Canadian websites. The action mirrors Craigslist's removal of "Adult Services" from its U.S. websites following an open letter by 17 state attorneys-general lamenting its support for the "scourge of illegal prostitution."
While illegal in most of the U.S., prostitution is legal in Canada. Communicating for the purpose of prostitution only constitutes an offence when it happens in a "public place," such as the street or a park, not a newspaper or website.
Some Canadian politicians were concerned Craigslist "could facilitate" crimes involving child exploitation and human trafficking. Charges should be and are laid in Canada against persons who advertise for, and profit from, such exploitation. But persons can only be charged with aiding or abetting if they encourage anyone to commit an offence or do, or omit to do, anything for the purpose of aiding another to commit a crime. There is no evidence that Craigslist has such a purpose. In fact, Craigslist has a strong record of co-operating with police by providing electronic information used to track down suspected abusers.
Shutting down "Erotic Services" is counterproductive and in bad faith. Following the section's removal, traffic to other less-monitored websites advertising sex services spiked. This scattering effect hinders investigation and prosecution of actual cases of exploitation.
Governmental intimidation of Craigslist is a heavy-handed move that will likely result in increased violence against sex workers. The Ontario Superior Court recently struck down as unconstitutional several prostitution laws, including the communication provision, on the basis that they "materially contribute to the decreased personal security" of sex workers. Online advertising is crucial to sex-worker safety because it allows for effective client screening. Many sex workers require new clients to provide referrals from existing clients, references from other sex workers, and confirmation of identity.
The anti-Craigslist campaign is part of a backlash against progressive developments toward decriminalization of prostitution-related activities. Concerns about exploitation mask the larger goal of eradicating sex work per se. In casting all sex workers as coerced women and children, the anti-prostitution lobby homogenizes a diverse industry that includes consenting adult men, women and transgendered persons.
Targeting Craigslist perpetuates a strategic narrative of saving and punishing, where vulnerable women and children are saved and parasitic pimps, johns and traffickers are punished. The impulse to punish and save lies at the heart of Western theological and colonial traditions. Viewed in this light, the conservative approach to sex work is part of a civilizing mission that reduces participants to either saved or fallen, victim or perpetrator.
This simplification denies the complexity and prevalence of transactional sex. It thereby restricts the range of social and political responses to the root causes of real vulnerabilities. Alternatively, improved immigration policies and support services for trafficked persons, empowerment of first nations communities, increased funding for drug addiction and mental-health services, and implementation of a national childcare plan are measures likely to decrease sex industry-related exploitation.
We should all be concerned when government uses its power to pressure private corporations to excessively limit legal forms of expression.

Craigslist bows to pressure, drops sex ads
By JEFFREY YIP, QMI AGENCY
Following months of pressure from the federal government, Craigslist removed the "erotic services" section from its website Saturday.
The government was concerned the section on the classified website was promoting child prostitution and human trafficking."Obviously we want to stop trafficking. Obviously we want to stop any involvement of children in prostitution," said John Lowman, a prostitution expert and SFU criminology professor."But basically it's a moral crusade being fought by prohibitionists and the Conservative government … In Canada, prostitution is legal," he claimed.
He also questioned the ad removals.
"Police agencies were having some success finding people involved in trafficking and child prostitution by monitoring Craigslist. So they're closing down one of the best law enforcement tools they appear to have."
Susan Davis, an activist and sex worker, agreed with Lowman.She said closing the section made life more difficult for sex workers."Many rely on it for their income. Some women I know only run ads on Craigslist. Now what are they suppose to do?"
The removal came after Friday's Red Umbrella Day, an international event calling for the end of violence against sex workers.
"It's unfortunate they've taken away a relatively safe way for workers to meet [and] screen clients," Davis said. "We're going to see an increase in street prostitution and all the problems associated with that."
Despite the removal, new ads were found under other categories, such as "therapeutic" or "casual encounters".

A diamond in the rough...
Freedom Fighters is, for lack of a better word, more fun than it would initially have you believe. An innovative concept wrapped in a very intriguing storyline. A storyline that very nearly carries the game all on it's own.
The storyline is one of an alternate Earth where world history has favored the communists of the USSR during the Cold War and not the capitalists of the USA. The Russians have slowly taken bits and pieces of the world map until finally taking over Mexico and invading New York City. That is where this game starts, with a plumber named Chris as the player's avatar. Chris is immediately recruited into an underground network of "Freedom Fighters" as levels in the game lead to the eventual, ultimate showdown between the Freedom Fighters and the Russian forces.
What I found so intriguing about the storyline is not it's Red Dawn wannabe/rah-rah patriotism leanings as much as it was just how eerily it mirrors current going-ons in global politics. In a Post 911 and the Iraq invasion world, it's more than a little disarming to see the Russians portrayed as the evil "saviors" of the "oppressed" United States citizens. One could spin this game in such a way as to make the current Iraq insurgency look almost justified, even patriotic from a certain point of view. Putting Iraq in the roll of the USA in this game and the USA in the roll of the Russians can really make a gamer think if they allow it.
Not that I personally don't believe in the current war or don't believe in patriotism, I'm just saying I like how this game, post 911, made me look at the idea of invasions in a whole new light. Whether the developers truly meant for it to be there I'll never know, but for me, as an observer, I'm glad it's there.
But I digress...onto the positives and negatives of this game's mechanics:
Positives are many. The graphics, while sometimes glitchy, are adequate. The levels have a really nice art design. It genuinely look like an invaded New York City. Bunkers, troop transports, road blocks and patrolling helicopters, all with USSR military insignia, really breathes life into the level design. Also having New York City as a battle ground just oozes coolness in my book.
The gameplay is also another positive. Like the graphics they can glitch from time to time, but all in all, once you get the feel for it, it can become a very exciting and blood pumping experience. The mechanics consist of a standard 3rd person shooter, but they add in a squad of NPC and you are given a limited (but effective) set of strategic commands. The commands are the basics of follow, attack, and guard, but when used in the right combination you can often find yourself going thru a entire level and never having to personally fire a shot at anyone. In some ways the game reminded me of Full Spectrum Warrior, but with a more hands-on approach. It's a satisfying feeling to set your squad up to guard a corner then tempt the enemy troops to come around that corner only to be met with a hail of gunfire.
Which is another HUGE positive for this game, the soundtrack and sound effects. The soundtrack is totally inspired, IMHO. It's a very large and sweeping score of Russian army choruses with just a hint of industrial sounds. As if Trent Reznor was asked to do the soundtrack for Hunt for Red October. The sound effects are also top shelf. All the guns and explosions have the appropriate weight, with the big Mano a Mano gunfights being the real standout. Voice acting is a bit weak, but it doesn't take away that much from the overall experience.
Negatives range from very minor, to pretty annoying. The minor really are pretty minor. I found myself a little disappointed that, after the first few daylight missions, the rest of the game is played in darkness. The game REALLY looks nice in the daylight, with a very nice "early morning haze" effect. It would have been nice to see them play a bit more with the lighting effects in this game.
My other minor gripes are that I wished that the troops in my squad had a bit more personality. The need to care about their well being is pretty marginal. Downed troops can be revived with one med pack or you can just make your way to the next save spot an recruit more. Having a squad with a bit more personality would only add to their emotional weight when one of them goes down. They feel entirely too disposable. The other gripe is strictly fanboy in nature, but NYC, gun battles, and NO Statue of Liberty level? What up wit' dat?
Major gripes center around graphics, controller setup, and AI. I said the graphics were pretty solid, but when I get a sniper rifle, zoom in on an enemy for a head shot, and that enemy disappears and never returns...that's a bug, and it happens pretty frequently. The controller setup (and this could be only an issue with the PS2 version) also really gave me fits when clicking and holding L3 to go into over the shoulder mode. Clicking and holding to stay in this mode was not the way to go. It should have been click once to alternate between the two. Holding only causes the game to zoom in and out when not held properly and is annoying when trying to line up the perfect shot (especially with the sniper rifle). The AI of the squad is also an issue. In guard and attack modes the AI is typically excellent, but in follow mode the squad seems to float in this really odd area between guard and attack. If you round a corner and it's chalk full of enemies, half the squad might take cover while half stand there clueless and one or two might take off running directly into enemy fire. I found myself alternating between guard, sneaking forward solo, then issuing the follow command and immediately issuing the guard command again, just to stop my squad from squirreling out on me. The actual follow command could use some AI tweaking if it were my call to make.
Overall, if you like 3rd person shooters and would like it to be sprinkled with a little tactical strategy, then you can't really go wrong with this game. It has a unique look, an interesting presentation, and (as with most good shooters) it's very fun to shoot stuff in this game.

Wow! Rita Ora let it all hang out at the MTV VMAs on Aug 24. She looked flawless in a tight bright red silk dress. Was she channeling Jessica Rabbit sans the red hair? Let us know what you thought about her look.
Rita Ora, 23, cat-walked the MTV Video Music Awards' red carpet wearing a sexy red silk charmeuse dress. The front was dipped low and had high thigh slit, while the back was low cut and open. The singer added to her look with straight slicked-back blonde hair and bright red lips.
Rita Ora's VMA Dress
Rita was positively shinning bright like the diamonds that wrapped around her neck on her Lorraine Schwartz choker. The "Black Widow" singer was all class in the front and party in the back in the Donna Karan Atelier negligee-inspired red silk charmeuse dress
The singer pulled an Angelina Jolie and showed off some toned leg with a sexy thigh high slit.
The blonde beauty topped off her look in a pair of strikingly red strapless heels. She looks absolutely gorgeous and we bet Calvin Harris is kicking himself hard for letting her go!
