Meiko's self-titled album appeared in September 2007. Eventually every track on the album would find song placement in such high-profile TV shows as Grey's Anatomy. She soon found herself receiving a considerable amount of attention on the digital folk music charts. Boosted by her Internet popularity, Meiko signed a contract with MySpace Records/DGC in June 2008, and a re-release of her endearing debut album followed in September. Amid a campaign of Internet videos and promotion, the follow-up album The Bright Side arrived in May of 2012.
In 2014, Meiko unveiled a moodier, bass-heavy sound with her third full-length album, the Jimmy Messer-produced Dear You on Fantasy Records. The Fantasy-issued Lovers & Fighters EP from early 2015 was followed in October of that year by a self-released EP, Live Songs from the Hotel Cafe, which featured live renditions of several fan favorites as well as a new song called "Perfect Fit." Finding further success without a label, Meiko issued her fourth LP, Moving Day, in the summer of 2016, reaching number nine on Billboard's Heatseekers chart while also cracking the Top 200. ~ Andrew Leahey

Here's an early look at conference championship weekend, which features three very strong defenses in a season dominated by the passing game, plus other news and notes from around the NFL:
1. The old guard came to play Sunday. Did you expect any different from Ray Lewis and Ed Reed going forward? Reed had his eighth interception in 10 postseason games on Sunday, finally corralling the pick that had evaded him in two very makeable attempts earlier in the game after getting his hands on four T.J. Yates passes in the game. Lewis was none less involved in the game, with eight tackles. At this point, given that rumors have swirled that Lewis might consider hanging up the cleats whenever the Ravens' season ends, you have to assume that he will be nothing short of his brilliant, Hall of Fame self. We'll just keep enjoying the ride, however long it runs. "They've got some of the best players in the history of the NFL at their position, in (Terrell) Suggs and Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and Haloti Ngata," Patriots QB Tom Brady said on Monday morning on WEEI Radio. "You've got phenomenal players there. We've really got our work cut out for us. We'll be excited about the challenge."
2. Brady has history in mind with this game, too. He got one monkey off his and the Patriots' backs by stomping the Broncos and ending a two-game home playoff losing streak. But now he has a chance to avenge one of those losses: the 33-14 thumping (the Patriots never had a chance, as it was 14-0 a few plays after the coin flip) the Ravens laid on New England back in 2009, a game in which Wes Welker missed with a torn ACL. It was by far Brady's worst postseason performance. That Patriots team flunked the chemistry test that season, and the '07 team just ran out of gas after a physically and mentally grueling 18-0 run before the Super Bowl. Brady (15-5 in the playoffs, one win short of his idol, Joe Montana) knows this season is his chance to join Terry Bradshaw and Montana with four Super Bowl rings, and he has the horses to help him do that. We're at the point where it's legitimate to ask if Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez are the best 1-2 receiving punch at tight end ever. Gronk is an absolute horse who can run by or through opponents, and Hernandez is a shifty, physical force. The wrinkle of putting Hernandez in the backfield as a runner Saturday? Pure, Belichickian evil.
3. Joe Flacco made a statement prior to the Ravens' 20-13 win that seemed to match the snarl of his Fu Manchu 'stache: "I'm sure if we win (the Super Bowl), I'll have nothing to do with why we won, according to you guys." Following the Texans win, that statement remains valid. Early in the game, Flacco appeared sharp, throwing two TDs and firing a few other on-target passes that his receivers dropped. But he lost his mojo, was sacked five times and ended the game quite cold and unable to do much against Wade Phillips' defense. What Flacco will face Sunday in the Patriots' defense is a far lesser unit; few can argue otherwise. But it showed a renewed fire and focus against the Broncos and will be brimming with confidence coming into this game. Flacco needs big games from his offensive line and his receivers, Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith, who can win their individual matchups. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, though, must also swear a death oath that he won't under-feed Ray Rice, who tends to help this team win games.
4. Has Bill Belichick made chicken salad with this defense from chicken ... parts? One game does not such a bold statement make, but the Patriots' "D" looked like a rested and fierce unit Saturday night. If Belichick can win a ring with Raiders practice-squad castoff Sterling Moore at corner and CB burnout Devin McCourty at free safety, it would go down as one of his finest coaching efforts ever. But they will have to slow down Rice and Co., and just as slow starts were a problem down the stretch of the regular season, they also were defensively in the playoff game two seasons ago. They allowed Rice to run unfettered 83 yards for a TD on the first play from scrimmage, and the Patriots never could bounce back from that early blow. "We didn't start that game off the way we wanted to on defense," OLB-DE Rob Ninkovich said. "A team that potent and tough, you can't give up a big run for a touchdown to start the game off like that. Obviously, that's something that we really need to focus on, is not letting up any big plays like that, especially to start the game off. The momentum they gained from that obviously just snowballed for the rest of the game."
5. Expect to hear what Trey Junkin and Matt Allen are up to this week. There will be lots of stories from the, well, storied histories of 49ers vs. Giants, much of it coming in the postseason. Montana's first playoff game, the week prior to "The Catch." Forty-nine to three, Giants over Niners, in '86. The Leonard Marshall hit on Montana, ending his run as a starter there. The Roger Craig fumble recovered by Lawrence Taylor, which led to the game-winning Giants field goal. And of course, the previously mentioned long snapper (Junkin) and punter and holder (Allen) who were key parts in perhaps the strangest matchup of these teams, the 39-38 thriller in Candlestick in '02 that ended with Junkin's second bad snap, Allen's vain attempt to throw the ball to anyone with the refs missing an obvious pass-interference call against OL Rich Seubert on the wild free-for-all play. They might be bicoastal and only occasional rivals, but these teams' fans don't care much for each other with each group believing their franchise is more prestigious than the other.
6. Yes, the 49ers and Giants played a very good game this season, too, and the Giants have to look back now — just as they did after the first matchup against the Packers — and think that they should have won that one. With the Giants leading 13-12, Vernon Davis caught a 31-yard TD pass (with a two-point conversion) and then, after an Eli Manning interception, Kendall Hunter took a draw 17 yards to suddenly and shockingly make it 27-13. Hakeem Nicks scored to make it a one-score Giants deficit and they later drove all the way to the 49ers' 10 yard-line with under a minute left, but DE Justin Smith batted down Manning's fourth-down pass to end the game. It was entertaining start to finish. The teams alternately tugged at control of the game. It was about as evenly matched a game as we have come to expect Sunday. What's remarkable for the Giants is how all or nothing they were offensively. They had 10 offensive possessions in the game; five were drives that spanned 70 yards and more, and the other five totaled 12 plays and 13 yards. The Niners weren't much more steady. They had 10 possessions, too, not including one that featured three kneeldowns to end the game. They had six drives that tallied fewer than 45 yards, although they netted 10 points on two of those drives. That's being opportunistic. That's the Niners.
7. Some great video after the Packers game Sunday night to share: Giants players chanting the words to Notorious B.I.G.'s "Goin Back To Cali" around a confused but nonetheless delighted Tom Coughlin. And, really, isn't that just perfect? In an era of two-year coaching watches, impatient owners and perhaps a few players who have their own agendas, coaches such as Coughlin shouldn't work. Several players openly have sparred with him over the years, including a few who are still on the team, such as Osi Umenyiora and Brandon Jacobs. And yet here they all are — Coughlin, Umenyiora, Jacobs and the rest of them — playing for a berth to the Super Bowl. They were the anti-Dream Team in the preseason, nobody's favorite to win much of anything except for maybe dogged public-relations head and Twitter enthusiast Pat Hanlon, who told anyone who would listen in the preseason that this team would be good. So right when everyone is ready to fire Coughlin, he pulls this team from the ashes (again) and has them on the verge of the big game (again) as the team no one wants to face. We're past Coughlin being on the hot seat, and the matter of his next extension is merely an afterthought at this point. Now we should be talking about his legacy. He won in Jacksonville (68-60 regular season, 4-4 playoffs), he has won in New York (74-54, 6-3, Super Bowl title) and has more wins and a better overall record than Jeff Fisher despite Fisher coaching six more games. If the Giants win the Super Bowl this year and Coughlin matches Bill Parcells' 172 wins (he's 30 away), is Coughlin a Hall of Famer? Something to mull over when you watch the game this weekend.
8. Another thing to consider is just how much this game means to Vernon Davis and Alex Smith. Whereas the win over the Saints was a career-defining moment for each, a win Sunday would surpass that and pretty much end the "what if" talk about each of them. What must Mike Singletary be thinking today? Embossed in almost every Niners' fans memories is the postgame rant of Singletary in his first game as coach when he banished Davis from the sideline and said afterwards that he would rather play with 10 than 11 if it meant ridding himself of losers. Said Singletary: "Cannot win with them! Cannot coach with them! Can't do it! I want winners!" Turns out he had them all along, and Davis has said that Singletary's wake-up call has helped make him the player he is today. Smith to Davis on a play called "Vernon Post" — it was Davis or throw it away on that one, Jim Harbaugh said after the game — might not supplant The Catch or The Catch, Part Two on the list of Niners all-timers, but it certainly has its place in the legendary franchise lore. And Harbaugh is doing what Singletary, hired for his emotional heft, couldn't do: make winners with highly drafted players such as Smith (first overall pick, 2005) and Davis (sixth overall pick, 2006).
9. You could feel the divorce of the Saints and Gregg Williams coming down the pike once Fisher took the Rams job, but really it had been brewing long before that. The Saints simply have not had a good defense the past two seasons, unable to consistently summon the magic they had during the 2009 run to the title. The irony is that in Saturday's loss to the 49ers, the Saints played some of their best defense of the season for long stretches after they fell behind 14-0 and before the two fourth-quarter possessions. On the 11 drives in between those, the 49ers totaled only 141 yards. But it was Williams' insistence on zero-blitzing the heck out of Smith and leaving Davis singled up that ended the Saints' season and Williams' three-year tenure in New Orleans. Jack Del Rio and Steve Spagnuolo have been mentioned as possible replacements. But it appears the Saints could lose offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr., the hidden weapon of the season who called plays (very well) when Sean Payton got his leg rolled up on the sideline. Carmichael is interviewing for the Raiders' head-coaching position.
10. The Broncos fell hard in their loss to the Patriots and, for the time being at least, Tebow Time will be ceased until further notice. But as far as John Elway is concerned, Tebow Time is just beginning as Elway said the QB has "earned the right to be the starting quarterback going into training camp next year." For the first time in his career, Tim Tebow will be a starting quarterback heading into an offseason during which he will get, oh, 1,500 snaps that will be crucial to his development. The way Elway is talking, he'd love nothing more than to have Tebow be the starter for the next decade — even though he clearly added that there would be competition at the position. "Anytime you can get a franchise guy that can be your guy for 10 to 12 years, that's what you want as an organization," Elway said. "And we're hopeful that Tim's that guy. Obviously we have some work to do and he knows that, too. But he made great strides this year." One question to keep in mind: Will the potential loss of talented offensive coordinator Mike McCoy (he's interviewing for the Raiders and Dolphins jobs) hurt Tebow's development? Simply put, the Broncos would not have won the division had McCoy not deftly tailored his offense to Tebow's strengths.
11. With or without Mario Williams, the Texans will be the prohibitive divisional favorites in 2012, a statement that might have earned odd reactions had it been made prior to the team's magical run this season. But it's true: With the Colts (even if Peyton Manning returns) and Jaguars rebuilding and the Titans still appearing a step behind, the Texans have to start thinking of themselves as the class of the AFC South now. The salary-cap room appears tight, but they did their heavy lifting last season through the draft (J.J. Watt, Brooks Reed and, oh yeah, T.J. Yates) and free agency (Johnathan Joseph and Danieal Manning) and are in tweaking mode now. Plus, they get back Matt Schaub, whose Linsfranc joint should be healed well in advance of training camp. Add a speed receiver, maybe some defensive depth (outside linebacker if Williams outprices himself, plus cornerback), some OL depth and special-teams help and this team could be a monster next season. Phillips will be back, Gary Kubiak will get an extension and all the focus will be on making a deep run in the postseason.
12. Can 15-2 be a failure? In the Packers' eyes, most definitely yes. It was a strange thud of an ending for the defending champs, who will watch someone else hoist Lombardi after barnstorming their way through most of the NFL this season. Decisions must be made: Jermichael Finley is a free agent; Donald Driver has a year left on his deal but might not be back; Nick Collins' future health is very much a question; and several coaches are candidates for the Raiders' staff, as well as other open positions. There will be turnover in Green Bay, but how much? They still have PFW/PFWA MVP Aaron Rodgers, and despite his poor game against the Giants, that still counts for a lot. The Packers have to feel like a contender going into next season, and perhaps an offseason of stewing can rev them back up again.
13. What is going on with the Dolphins? The Buccaneers? Both teams are in wait-and-see mode. The Rams stole Fisher from the Dolphins, but even had the Rams lost out on that one it was clear that they prepared for the situation better than the Dolphins did. The Rams interviewed Plans B and C and had GM candidates who meshed well with Fisher, which might have been one of the tipping points of getting him to St. Louis. Right now, we don't know which direction the Dolphins are heading, but Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer could make a very interesting coach. He has ties to GM Jeff Ireland from their Dallas days together (yes, another potential Cowboys import) and brings a no-nonsense style that could shape up the team and simultaneously infuriate the media for whom he has little use. As for Tampa Bay, the team is heating up its head-coaching search this week and will talk to some of those Packers assistants (including Joe Philbin, whose son tragically died last week). The Bucs also will talk to Zimmer and Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, leaving Carolina fans quite edgy about how they can keep their remarkable play caller just one more year — and keep a division opponent from stealing him. You'd have to think he'd get Josh Freeman back on track, seeing what Chud did this season with Cam Newton, and for that matter, making Derek Anderson into a Pro Bowler once. That should be the first line of Chudzinski's résumé.
14. We reserve this space to look back on the fairly remarkable career of Mike Martz, who announced he's retiring this week. Part sage, part madman, all football savant, Martz had a great run the past 12 years or so running through defenses and quarterbacks alike. For every five-man protection and seven-step drop he ran, it became clear there were two likely conclusions to every play: sack or touchdown. But in all seriousness, Martz was an innovator to whom probably 70 percent of the coordinators out there right now owe a lot. He showed that the passing game could be pushed to the utter limits in St. Louis and he had an offense that took years to crack. His subsequent runs in Detroit, San Fran and Chicago were far less successful and memorable, and his penchant for leaving his QBs exposed might have been Martz's Achilles heel. But few offensive coordinators have left their mark on the game in recent years like Martz, and we suspect we have not heard the last of him quite yet. For now, Mike, enjoy your time off and may you get the proper recognition you deserve.
15. Is there a more dysfunctional division right now than the AFC West heading into the offseason? The Broncos are left to pick up the pieces in light of their Foxborough fold, having to answer questions about the future of Tebow with several other problems on the team. We are finding out more about the inner workings of the Chiefs' organization, thanks to this finely researched story from the Kansas City Star's Kent Babb, which paints of picture of internal fear and loathing. The Raiders are down five draft picks, need a head coach and there may not be 100 percent support for Carson Palmer within the organization now that Hue Jackson is gone. And the Chargers, maybe the paragon of consistency (tongue only slightly in cheek here), shocked everyone with their decisions to keep the status quo with head coach Norv Turner and GM A.J. Smith, to the delight of few outside the team facility. If there's a division to be stolen next season, this might be it.

The impact of sequestration on IT
I chose not to blog about sequestration until now because, like most people, I never really thought it was going to happen. Much like January's fiscal cliff, the prevailing sentiment was that the "D.C." in Washington would stand for "Don't Cut" and that an 11th hour deal would be made.
But now that the deadline has passed and the only thing delaying the start of sequestration is a presidential signature, we must all seriously begin to consider what will happen to those affected by the automatic spending cuts.
As reported by Computerworld this morning, the potential budget cuts are already causing uncertainty within a sector that relies on secure funding to foster growth and innovation: IT. Even though the official OMB report from the White House says that "no amount of planning can mitigate the effects of these cuts," IT organizations should still start anticipating what those effects will be in order to properly manage them.
If cuts are indeed made, here are some questions IT managers will need to consider. Continue Reading…

Our restaurant is attempting to make handmade thin, Sonoran-style flour tortillas for burritos (14 inch) and we are running into a few problems.
The recipe is fine, they taste good and they are soft. However, they are a bit Chewy and too Thick. Im thinking it might be the type of flour we are using or possibly our technique.
The best flour we have tried so far is the Smart and Final brand Bread Flour. Bread flour was recommended on many recipes for the thin Sonoran-style tortillas; it seems that all-purpose or low gluten flour is for the thicker, Texas tortillas. Others we have tried are Smart and Final All-Purpose and La Pina brand flour.
Also, we are using Baking powder, salt and Lard which we get from the Carnitas. After we make the dough, we let it rest for 1 hour
When we try to roll them out, it gets difficult to roll them, without the gluten stretching back, around the 10 inch mark and we cannot seem to roll them thin enough. We are currently using a small rolling pin, but we are going to try the tapered pastry pins. Also, possibly rolling the dough in between sheets of wax paper?
Are we using the right type of flour? Are there any techniques that we can use?
I have little knowledge on baking, so I was hoping to see if you guys had any suggestions on how to make them thinner and less chewy.

I have a few acquaintances who have graduated the Tom Rose school and I'm familiar with their methodologies. No close friends though.
You might consider this school as well: The Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers.
He has a number of videos on his site you can watch to get a feel for how he trains.
Best of luck in your decision.
P.S. We have almost all his DVDs and are very pleased with the results we have from them.

Obama told debate participant he DIDN'T call Benghazi attack terrorism at first
posted at 3:10 pm on October 17, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
If you're confused over whether President Obama did or didn't initially characterize the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi as an act of terrorism, a column by The Washington Post's Erik Wemple will do little to clear things up.
Wemple reports that after the debate, the president headed over toward Kerry Ladka, the undecided voter who had asked Obama who "denied enhanced security" requested by the consulate "and why?"
As with much else that the president said during the 90-minute battle, he offered up a lengthy and meandering response that never really answered the question but provided much information that was neither requested nor especially relevant. Obama's non-answer ultimately metamorphosed into a critique of Mitt Romney's early response to the news of the attack, which in turn triggered one of the most acrimonious clashes of the evening.
But Obama "wasn't done with Kerry Ladka," Wemple writes.
'After the debate, the president came over to me and spent about two minutes with me privately,' says the 61-year-old Ladka, who works at Global Telecom Supply in Mineola, N.Y. According to Ladka, Obama gave him 'more information about why he delayed calling the attack a terorist attack.' For background, Obama did apparently lump Benghazi into a reference to 'acts of terror' in a Sept. 12 Rose Garden address. However, he spent about two weeks holding off on using the full 'terrorist' designation. The rationale for the delay, Obama explained to Ladka, was to make sure that the 'intelligence he was acting on was real intelligence and not disinformation,' recalls Ladka. [Emphasis added]
So according to Kerry Ladka, at least, Obama didn't initially call the attack an act of terrorism. So Obama lied last night after all. Somehow this doesn't seem to be all that big a revelation, but it ought to be entertaining to watch him dance around the issue at next Monday's debate.

103GBF Hometown Honey Megan!

Hong Kong stocks rose to their highest level in just over four months, led by property and commodity-related issues, on speculation that the US Federal Reserve's potentially unlimited quantitative easing measures will boost asset prices in the region.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index rose 2.9 per cent, or 582.15 points, to end at 20,629.78, the highest level since May 4, 2012. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which tracks Hong Kong-listed Chinese enterprises, gained 3.68 per cent to end at 9,829.43.
"What took us by surprise is the language that the Fed was using," David Hensley, US-based Global Economist at JP Morgan told a news briefing in Hong Kong, adding that the Fed was underscoring its determination to the get the US economy back on track. "Potentially the package could turn out to be (a) much larger commitment than the US$200 billion to US$300 billion we had in our minds."
The US Federal Reserve announced overnight that it would buy US$40 billion a month of securities supported by real estate loans and extend the duration of its ultra-low short-term interest rates till mid-2015, in a bid to bolster an anaemic recovery in the world's largest economy.
Property, energy and commodities stocks gained across the board in reaction to the Fed's announcement when the market opened on Friday, as the weaker US dollar spurred investors' risk appetite, pushing them to buy more equities. Materials and energy firms led gains on the Hang Seng Composite Index, the city's broadest measure of the stock market's performance.
"It's time to buy now. We expect a continued equity market rally in the wake of the Fed's action. People have been sitting on cash for too long," said Michael Wong, a director for securities and asset management at Convoy Asset Management Ltd.
Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016.HK [1]) gained as much as 4.39 per cent to HK$111.8 after its earnings beat market estimates, triggering a slew of target price upgrades by financial institutions, including Goldman Sach and Credit Suisse. Daiwa said in a morning note that its core earnings showed "impressive growth" and would be boosted further by a strong property pipeline.
The Hang Seng Property Index, which tracks nine heavyweight property developers, rose 3.19 per cent to the highest level since August 2011.
"We will reduce our cash position and start to buy more equities, especially those property issues as they are sensitive to the (Fed) easing measures," Renault Kam, director at GF Asset Management (Hong Kong), which oversees US$100 million.
Commodities producers, especially gold stocks, gained sharply on speculation that a flood of dollars would boost demand for the precious metal as a way to maintain asset value.
Zijin Mining Group (2899.HK [2]) gained 11.36 per cent to HK$3.04, while Zhaojin Mining (1818.HK [3]) gained 15.54 per cent to HK$13.38.
Sun Century Group (1383.HK [4]), which develops mid-range residential and commercial properties in Guangdong, surged by 239.66 per cent to HK$1.97. The company on Friday posted a 74.25 million first-half net loss, compared with 20.85 million yuan net profit a year earlier. Most market watchers, however, said they did not know why the stock surged despite posting an interim loss.

For the second week in a row Newcastle have lost 4-0 – this time to Manchester United, who were a patched up side and had made eight changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Bayern Munich in mid-week.
And Newcastle had done quite well in the first half until Juan Mata hit home a free kick after 39 minutes and then hit another after 50 minutes after late in the first half Hernendez had hit the posy when he should have scored.
Further goals from Javier Hernandez after 64 minutes and then one in stoppage time made it 4-0 and his is another disastrous result for Newcastle and that's the 10th time in the last 15 league games we haven't scored and we've lost 10 of them.
We have also scored just one goal in the 10 games that Loic Remy has missed this season, and let's hope he's back for next week at Stoke because we have no strength in depth at all.
This is also the fourth loss in the five games that Alan Pardew has had his ban, and we've managed only one goal in those games, and it will be interesting to hear what the manager has to say about this display – since the lads worked all week on keeping the defense tight.
WE seem to be a million miles away from having a good team.
We'll have a report of the game out shortly – just in case you want to read it. 🙁

- - Hot water (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/living-aboard/82135-hot-water.html)
Hot water
I see alot of boats have hot water heaters. I think the better solution would be to have the instant hot water heaters instead of the tanks. They take up less space and are more efficient. I don't see alot of them on sailboats for some reason. It seems like an obvious thing to upgrade. Any big reasons not to use it ?
There are two types:
Electricity is scarce on a boat. You can use it when you have connection to land and will not have hot water while cruising. Running a generator might be an option.
Gas is dangerious and will require a flue.
You can have hot water if you have tank heater. this will keep the water hot even after you use land power. Another opportunity is to heat water when your engine is running.
"Tank" style hot water heaters will often use engine coolant to heat the water. In the hot weather the water will stay warm in the tank for hours. So, it's "free" if you time it right.
If one does not shower often on board or sail in cold climates, then a water heater of any type is a waste of space.
I will admit they are nice to have. My last boat had one till it died, then it didn't. I missed washing dishes in warm water, but, I liked the extra space for batteries better :D
Depends also on your sailing area, and what you want the hot water for. I use a solar shower for bathing, and then just heat water for washing up. (I have a water heater, but it's shot, so it's basically just 6 more gallons of storage)
Well we are in Central Florida. It does get chilly here in the winter but it does not last long if it does. We are planning for the boat being a sort of waterfront condo at first. Depending on how comfortable we can make it we are considering moving aboard. Right now I am just doing research and I do not see anything so far that would prevent what we want to do. Luckily the wife and I are both pretty handy.
I think that you need to think about where and when you are going to use hotwater. If you are tied up in a marina with power, as is the case for most liveaboards then a tank heater makes most sense and is easiet and cheapest to install. If you are on the hook or rarely use your engine then the tank ones are not very useful. So if your cruising is ICW you are fine; if you are sailing long distances offshore you are out of luck unless you have a genset or need to run the engine to charge batteries (which you probably don't with solar/wind).
I have had a couple of boats with tankless, gas-powered heaters and quite like them. Caveats though, you need a marine unit not a domestic one (they exist, and are quite common in Europe, but not cheap, you need a suitable spot to install one - Hinterhoeller boast typically used them and they built the galleys so the unit was at eye level and handy ( you lose some good cabinet space here but it was easy to then build in the flue. I guess what I am saying is that they work better when they are designed into the boat not added on. BTW, I don't see a particular advantage to the electric, flash heaters - if you have 110v go with a tank. Final comment about gas heaters, ours had a pilot light (Paloma, no longer recommended for marine) but we never left the unit going between uses since it was very easy to start the pilot each time.
Just a note, electrical fires are the number one cause of boat fires. Not fuel, not propane, not the galley...... electrical.
If you are going to live aboard for any length of time, but do have frequent access to a marina, then I would use an electric tank heater that also heated off the engine coolant. You either run a genset when at anchor or the engine to top the batts anyway, so it will make hot water then.
water heaters are tough on insurance premiums. if you must have one try the solar alternative. of course sailing on a cloudy day will be tough.

Patch Announces Record Month in May
Jun 11, 2012
Patch announced today that May was its best month ever for traffic and revenue. According to just-released comScore numbers, Patch served a record 11.7 million users in May, a 14% increase over April's 10.3 million users and an 11% increase over its previous traffic record of 10.6 million users last August. In addition, Patch's total revenue was 14% higher than its previous record last November and also represents a 17% bump in revenue over April 2012. In 2012 Patch has already booked 130% of its total 2011 revenue.
In a press release today, Patch also said:
- The 14% month-over-month growth in users outpaced the comScore Regional/Local category as a whole, which grew only 3% over the same time period.
- Patch had a 12% increase in engagement (visits per unique visitor) from April to May. Within the top ten regional-local properties, this represents the highest increase in engagement month over month, and ranks Patch as the second highest in engagement among those properties.
- With an average site age of just over 18 months, Patch is now the #5 regional/local property on the web, from #10 when it first entered the rankings in December 2010.
Jon Brod, who co-founded Patch, said in the release: "We are extremely gratified to see these measures of the traction we have gained in our communities and in our business since our launch just over 3 years ago."

A Stark And Wormy Knight (edition 2011)
by Tad Williams, Deborah Beale (Editor)
Work details
A Stark and Wormy Knight by Tad Wiliams
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Not a bad book, but I didn't love it as much as I expected, either. I think Tad Williams might be one of those writers that (for me) does epic tales a bit better than short stories. Still, some of these were very, very good, although others weren't for me. There's an introduction by the author, but no introductions or notes on the stories – reading the cover flap is helpful, for some of them – that's the only place you're going to find out what's going on for a couple of them!
'And Ministers of Grace' – Really well done. From the point of view of a future religious terrorist/assassin who sees the ubiquitous advertising of the future as evidence of our sinful ways. As Williams notes, it could work well as the opener to an epic story. I especially like that the Christians and Muslims are working together against the science/technology-based society – makes sense.
'A Stark and Wormy Knight' – A humorous dragon story, full of playful language.
'The Stranger's Hands' – A re-read – this also appeared in the 'Wizards' anthology, edited by Jack Dann. Probably my favorite story in this book. A village takes in two wanderers - a man who seems to have lost his wits in an injury, and his caretaker. Soon, it is discovered that some who touch the disabled man's hands have their heart's desire magically granted. Soon, the needy flock to the town in hopes of having their wishes granted. But with greater exposure comes the revelation that the village's miracle man is (or was) actually one of the most powerful, dangerous, and evil wizards around. Is there some trick here? A well-crafted and thought-provoking tale.
'Bad Guy Factory' – This is an outline for a comic book featuring a number of costumed superheroes. The cover notes say it was a proposal for DC. I would much rather read a comic book than a text outline for a comic book; and superheroes just aren't my thing.
'The Thursday Men' – This is a 'Hellboy' story. (In text format, not comic-outline). I suspect I might have enjoyed it a little more if I were more familiar with the back story. A rather noir-ish tale of saving the world from an incursion from other dimensions.
'The Tenth Muse' - A battles-in-space story. A low-ranking crewmember relates the story of how a condescending and annoying passenger stepped up to the plate and saved his ship (and, possibly, a whole lot more) from a mysterious alien ship that unexpectedly popped out of a wormhole, guns blazing. Some nice twists.
'The Lamentably Comical Tragedy (Or the Laughably Tragic Comedy) of Lixal Laqavee' – If you are attracted by that title, you will probably like this story. According to the cover notes, it's an homage to Vance's Dying Earth novels –which I've never been a fan of, despite trying. A travelling mountebank buys/extorts some spells from a real wizard. Unfortunately, one of them rebounds with unexpected effects, and he finds himself bound to a dangerous, man-eating monster. How to extract himself from this unenviable situation?
'The Terrible Conflagration at the Quillers Mint (from the diaries of Finn Teodoros)' – As the title suggests, a man relates the story of a terrible fire that burned down an inn. He doesn't really know who (or if anyone) set the fire, although he has suspicions. It's set in the 'Shadowmarch' world, but I have to admit it's been long enough since I read those that I'm missing the connections. (I suspect there are some important clues here to unexplained events in that story.)
'Black Sunshine' – This is a screenplay for what would be a really-not-very-good (and rather short) B-movie based on our social paranoia about drugs.
'Ants' – A horror story about a man who kills his wife and tries to cover up the crime. In a house infested by ants. Well done, if fairly standard.
I�??ve been a fan of Tad Williams since I read MEMORY, SORROW AND THORN many years ago Â?? a series I loved back then and need to revisit soon to see if itÂ??s as wonderful as I remember. IÂ??ve also enjoyed a few of WilliamsÂ?? short stories that IÂ??ve come across in anthologies Â?? especially one that was one of my favorites in my very favorite anthology: Songs of the Dying Earth: Stories in Honor of Jack Vance. So I was eager to read more of Tad Williams in his story collection A Stark and Wormy Knight. Most of these 11 stories have been printed elsewhere, and I had read a couple of them previously, but if you donÂ??t already own them, this is a nice eclectic mix and a good introduction to an excellent author. Here are the stories youÂ??ll find in A Stark and Wormy Knight:
�?And Ministers of Grace� �? (Originally published in 2010 in the Warriors anthology, edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois) Lamentation Kane is an enhanced human who thinks he�?s the hand of God. His current mission is to travel to Archimedes, a world that rejects religion, to kill their leader while she�?s giving a speech. Tad Williams explains in his introduction that he�?s been thinking about writing an epic in which Lamentation Kane will be a main character. Kane is an intriguing invention, but not very likable in this story. However, the ending suggests that he may be a better hero in the future, so I�?ll be keeping my eyes out for more Lamentation Kane stories.
�?A Stark and Wormy Knight� �? (From the anthology The Dragon Book, 2009, edited by Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois) A mother dragon is telling her son a tale of his great grandfather�?s encounter with a knight. This is a playful story, full of puns and made up words. It was cute and creative, but I�?m glad it was short because those invented words just don�?t trip off the tongue.
�?The Storm Door� �? (First published in The New Dead: A Zombie Anthology, 2010, edited by Christopher Golden) I don�?t usually like zombie stories, but I did like this scary story about a paranormal investigator who suspects an imminent zombie invasion. Even though I anticipated the surprise ending, I admired Williams�? creepy atmosphere.
�?The Stranger�?s Hands� �? (From Wizards: Magical Tales From the Masters of Modern Fantasy, 2007, edited by Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois) When the townsfolk discover that a hobo camping in the woods outside town has the ability to grant the desires of the heart, the town begins to thrive... until a famous magician hears about it and comes to stop the nonsense.
�?Bad Guy Factory� �? (Original) Tad Williams explains that this story is his idea for a DC Comics series, so it�?s written as such, with explanations for what�?s to be shown in the art interspersed between the captions. I�?d never read anything like this before (a comic book without the art), so it was interesting for that reason. I thought the premise was cool, too �? a training school for the henchmen of supervillains. Most of the characters were really obnoxious �? cussing and fighting with each other constantly �? but what you can expect from evil minions?
�?The Thursday Men� �? (From Hellboy: Oddest Jobs, 2008, edited by Christopher Golden) Hellboy is asked to investigate a strange death at a haunted house on the California coast. I had never read a HELLBOY story before, but if this one is representative, I should read some more.
�?The Tenth Muse� �? (First published in 2009 in The New Space Opera 2, edited by Gardner Dozois and Jonathan Strahan) Tad Williams seems to have taken the topic of the anthology The New Space Opera 2 pretty literally because this story is really about a space opera. It�?s bizarre and entertaining.
�?The Lamentably Comical Tragedy (or the Laughably Tragic Comedy) of Lixal Laqavee� �? (From Songs of the Dying Earth: Stories in Honor of Jack Vance, 2009, edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois) As I�?ve already mentioned, I love this hilarious story about a magician who gets attached to a deodand when his spell misfires. The purpose of the anthology it was written for was to honor Jack Vance by writing in his style in his DYING EARTH world. That�?s a tall order, but Tad Williams delivers.
�?The Terrible Conflagration at The Quiller�?s Mint� �? (First published online in 2002) This is a mystery set in Tad Williams�? SHADOWMARCH world. It�?s a nice tale which gives some history and context to that epic.
�?Black Sunshine� �? (Original) This is a really frightening horror story set both in the present and the past, and written here as a screenplay. On a night back in 1976, four teenagers experimented with drugs and suffered the consequences. They�?ve lived with the horrid memories for 25 years and now they�?re reliving that terrible night. If you�?re ever tempted to try acid, read this story first. But not on a stormy night like I did �? it gave me bad dreams, which I suppose is a mark of an effective horror story.
�?Ants� �? (From Twilight Zone: 19 Original Stories on the 50th Anniversary, 2009, edited by Carol Serling) Here�?s another scary story about a man who really needs to get his kitchen clean. This one is gory, so not my kind of thing at all, yet I was completely absorbed and I appreciated the ironic ending.
As you can see, this is an eclectic mix of stories and youÂ??re bound to find some you like here. I already knew that Tad Williams is creative, funny, and has a good sense of irony, but now IÂ??ve learned that he can also write gory horror stories, clever comics and chilling screenplays. I enjoyed getting to know him better with A Stark and Wormy Knight and I recommend this collection if youÂ??d like to get to know him better, too.

The cover artwork commissioned by Penguin Australia, for designer and fashion icon Collette Dinnigan's first book, is meant to celebrate the lavish and adventurous life-style of an eclectic female designer and author. I chose to hand paint a series of buildings, animals and architectural elements that are closely related to Collette's life, and combine them together to create a whimsical composition, suggestive of a landscape in between reality and imagination.
This limited edition book comes in a uniquely designed case that includes a silk scarf that I've especially illustrated for this edition, alongside the cover and the end pages. The decorative elements and motives printed on the scarf recall the end papers' delicate ink illustrations.

Luxury and Innovation
Released September 23, 2003
Salem, MA—This November the Peabody Essex Museum proudly presents Luxury and Innovation: Furniture Masterworks by John and Thomas Seymour. The exhibition is the first major retrospective on this renowned father and son team, and brings together the finest and most visually stunning examples of their work, demonstrating why the Federal era is considered one of the most important periods of creativity and craftsmanship in American furniture making history. The exhibitionwill be on view from November 17, 2003 through February 15, 2004.
Luxury and Innovation takes visitors into the world of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Boston, to showcase the exceptional beauty, refinement, and scope of John and Thomas Seymour's work. The exhibition is organized around 70 of their most superb pieces of furniture, arranged according to setting: parlor, dining room, and bedroom. Luxury and Innovation will also include contemporaneous decorative art objects, works on paper, and paintings.
"John and Thomas Seymour, although always admired for their talents, are often not credited for their contribution to the refinement of American decorative art," says Robert Mussey, guest curator of Luxury and Innovation. "The Seymours combined their own superb cabinetmaking and inlay skills with those of other English immigrant carvers, turners and upholsterers, to produce superb interpretations that set the standard for an entire generation of Boston cabinetmakers. Although the origins of their craft and styles were English, their brilliance was in execution of their uniquely American interpretations."
After first settling in Portland, Maine in 1784, the Seymours relocated to Boston in 1793, arriving in the thriving city at an opportune moment in history. The changing social landscape, shifting social roles, new leisure activities, and a growing number of wealthy individuals in Boston led to larger houses and created demand for higher quality furniture and new forms, including sewing tables, ladies' desks, sideboards, and lap desks. Increased wealth and foreign trade also secured a consistent supply of the exotic and rare woods and veneers, such as mahogany and rosewood, prevalent in the Seymours' designs.
Although the exhibition focuses on the genius of the Seymours, Luxury and Innovation also pays tribute to the skilled artisans that worked in consort with the father and son team. The sophisticated labor model, employed by the Seymours, was based on a large network of English immigrants with specialized skills. John and Thomas Seymour conceived the design, completed the basic casework, and undertook any veneer-work, leaving left the woodturning, ivory inlaying, carving, upholstering, gilding, and decorative painting to others. Thomas Wightman, a London-trained wood carver, was one of the Seymours' most talented sub-contractors. Not only was he able to adapt his English design sensibilities to American tastes, but also his intricate carvings increased the level of sophistication and surface variety of the Seymours' furniture. Examples of Wightman's work can be seen in a card table from Cleopatra's Barge and an ambitious sideboard from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, possibly made for Elizabeth Derby, the style-setter of Salem.
Stylistically, the Seymours' furniture ranges from Neo-Classical to Regency, to Classical or Empire.Geometric forms, inspired by Greek and Roman architecture, and sharply contrasting woods and veneers, characterize their earlier work. In 1804, Thomas Seymour founded the Boston Furniture Warehouse, a separate venture from his work with his father. During this time, Thomas' Regency interpretations used bolder reeding and distinctive applied moldings to substitute for inlays, and spectacular crotch mahogany veneers. He also introduced new forms such as lyre-based tables and scrolled arm supports, as seen in the Winterthur settee included in the exhibition. At the end of his independent career, he introduced the new Classical styles to Boston with their simplified by elegant carvings, such as those found on a Grecian card table from the Adams National Historic Site on view in the exhibition. After Thomas' own business closed, Thomas continued working as foreman for other cabinetmakers such as James Barker, where he was thought to have made a spectacular pair of card tables for America's first pleasure yacht, Cleopatra's Barge, one of which is currently on view at the Peabody Essex Museum. His ability to create designs in varying styles demonstrates his talent for incorporating his own formidable skill with the diverse talents of other specialist artisans.
Luxury and Innovation will be presented in the newly transformed Peabody Essex Museum. Designed by renowned architect, Moshe Safdie, the new museum includes 250,000 square feet of new and renovated gallery and public spaces, allowing the Peabody Essex to showcase for the first time in its 204-year history the entire range of its collections. Featured prominently in the new museum, is the Peabody Essex's exceptional collection of American Decorative Art. Organized by themes, the collections demonstrate the craftsmanship and growing sophistication of American decorative art and design from seventeenth century through the present.
The exhibition, related programs, and catalog publication received major support from the Kaufman Americana Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Croll Foundation, Americana Foundation, Skinner Auctioneers and Appraisers, Inc., Christie's, and the Elizabeth McGraw Foundation.
The American Decorative Art Collections at the Peabody Essex Museum One of the more complete of its kind, with objects dating from the mid-seventeenth century to the present, the American Decorative Art at the Peabody Essex Museum comprises more than 40,000 examples of American art and culture. The museum's collection houses an exceptional assortment of portraits and landscape paintings, recently acquiring a John Singer Sargent portrait. The Peabody Essex also houses major collections of American glass; furniture, sculpture and folk art; textiles and needlework; and a spectacular collection of American costumes, ranking among the best in the nation.
The Boston Furniture Symposium
In conjunction with the exhibition, the Peabody Essex Museum will host The Boston Furniture Symposium: New Research on the Federal Period. The Symposium will take place November 14 to 16, 2003, and is expected to attract a prestigious group of scholars, connoisseurs, and collectors of neoclassical furniture in England and America. The symposium will present important new scholarship in fields of study related to Federal-era furniture.
Papers accepted for presentation at the symposium include: David Conradsen, Assistant Curator of Decorative Arts and Design, The St. Louis Art Museum: "Éigré cabinetmaker David Poignand and the Furniture Hardware Trade in Federal Boston;"Brock Jobe, Winterthur Museum: "The Upholsterer's Trade in Federal Boston; English Upholstery Fabrics for Seating Furniture;"Lady Elizabeth White, Curator of Decorative Art, Holburne Museum, Bath, England: "The Influence of the British Furniture Pattern Book 1740-1820;"and Damie Stillman, University of Delaware:"The Seymours and the Neoclassical Tradition in the Devon Region in England."
Exhibition Catalog Furniture Masterworks of John and Thomas Seymour by Robert Mussey is based on 10 years of research focused on primary sources from American and English archives. While British influence was pervasive in American furniture design prior to 1850, this is the first scholarly study to trace in detail the English origins of an important American cabinetmaker. Consultants for the exhibition catalog are Wendy Cooper, curator of furniture at Wintherthur Museum, and Peter Kenny, Associate Curator of American Decorative Arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Art. The catalog is published jointly by the Peabody Essex Museum and the University Press of New England.

After Dwight Howard rebuffed the Los Angeles Lakers at the altar, they amnestied forward Metta World Peace, eliminating his $7.7 million salary off the books and saving $14 million in luxury tax payments. It was a fiscally savvy move, since paying upwards of $100 million for a middling roster isn't exactly an optimal investment. It does hurt the Lakers on the floor, where they were 8.1 points per 100 possessions worse with World Peace on the bench last season per NBA.com. World Peace signed with the New York Knicks for a pittance (two-years, $3.25 million), but he did briefly consider signing with the San Antonio Spurs. Gregg Popovich, for one, was interested in adding the mercurial 33-year-old forward, according to World Peace's brother, Daniel Artest. Via New York Post: "I finally met Popovich, told him I was a big Spurs fan and he said he always liked Ron on his team,'' Artest said. "I relayed the message, tried to convince [World Peace], but my brother didn't believe me.'' World Peace averaged 12.4 points and five rebounds per game last season while shooting 40.3 percent from the field, his highest mark since the 2009-10 season. World Peace isn't a particularly efficient scorer, save for mid-range looks and corner 3-pointers, but he still can competently check small forwards and occasionally power forwards, despite age sapping most of his athleticism. The Lakers struggled mightily on the defensive end all season, and were merely average with World Peace on the floor, but even average represented a significant improvement from their nominal efficiency. Artest doesn't particularly buy the notion that his brother is washed up either. "I'm not worried [he's washed up],'' Artest said. "It's all about heart. The way Ron plays, he will help the Knicks out the way he plays defense and take pressure off Carmelo [Anthony], [who] won't have to guard the best forward guy anymore. [World Peace] can guard the power forward. He held a lot of power forwards like Zach Randolph, David West and LaMarcus [Aldridge] last season way below their scoring average. He's still very strong and has a lot of game left.'' World Peace, meanwhile, will play with his hometown Knicks this season and potentially in 2014-15 (if he picks up his $1.66 million player option), where he's expected to provide ample amounts of defense, and quirkiness -- the latter making him a polarizing character in the NBA.

D.C.—part one: "A strong and active faith"
The crickets and katydids still trade chirps between the trees and the bushes that line the Potomac River's great tidal basin. As I walk along the basin toward the FDR Memorial, the insect song see-saws back and forth—but then it's drowned out completely by the rumble of a low-flying jet making its descent toward Ronald Reagan International Airport on the far side of the river.
It's 7:00 p.m. The last trickle of the evening commute has drained from the capital, and the busloads of school groups haven't yet arrived from dinner. It's the perfect time to visit. It's me and the insects and perhaps ten other visitors. Three Muslim women walk past me, their heads covered with scarves so brightly colored I can see them in the dark.
And there's the president—a bronze, life-sized statue of FDR in a wheelchair that sits near the entrance to the memorial. Writer Christopher Buckley once said the statue looked "exactly like James Joyce on the toilet," an image I can now never shake from my mind. What a way to dethrone one of the Twentieth Century's towering figures. Continue reading
Sustainability, localism, community and the dignity of work: In praise of Wendell Berry
Here's what Ken Kesey had to say about Wendell Berry:
"Wendell Berry is the Sargeant York charging unnatural odds across our no-man's-land of ecology. Conveying the same limber innocence of young Gary Cooper, Wendell advances on the current crop of Krauts armed with naught but his pen and his mythic ridgerunner righteousness. One after the other he picks them off, from the flying bridges of their pleasure boats as they roar through his native Kentucky rivers, from beneath the hard hats in the Hazard county strip mines, from the swivel chairs in the Pentagon where they weigh the various ways to wage war on all forms of enemy life beyond the end of their own friendly chin. He's a crackshot essayist and, for those given to capture, a genial and captivating poet. He boasts a formidable arsenal of novels, speeches, articles, stories and poems from his outpost in one of the world's most ravaged battlefields where he writes the good fight and tends his family and his honeybees. Consider him an ally."
The thing is, Kesey said this in 1971. Continue reading

ROAK: Lots of hygroryza aristata...
Was gunna throw it out but if anyone wants, hey. Free.
Got a stem thats almost 2 feet long haha. Probably have like 5 portions, depending on if people want.
Cool floater. Pick up in Brooklyn, or during this Fridays trip...or sometime in LES/Union Square. PM me :D
can it do medium light?
IME it can do medium light. It's a floater so it should be close to the light anyways.
its growing in my /low medium light cpo tank at the moment. soaking up excess nitrates as i have no plants due to the cray fish. it is much more suitable in larger tanks as it is tidier than other floaters that tend to mix and make the tank sort of messy looking.
It appreciates a lot of flow as well. Unlike other floaters. I found suction cups and string the best way to keep it where you want. Just tie string around the very end where there are no leaves.
Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk 2
Hey Viva, how fast does this stuff reproduce? I like the way it looks but I'm always cautious w/ floaters b/c they're so cancerous!
It reproduces at a decent rate. However, since it branches out from a single stem, it's easily removed.
Yea, if you just put in one stem, it will stay one stem until you rip the stem into two pieces. Then itll continue growing.
I'd love some! =] I love this plant!
I'll take a stem please.
15 Attachment(s)
;) *stem* is rather loosely defined here in terms of length... >.>
Will you ship at all? =]
If you choose to ship I would also be interested!
That looks really cool. If you decide to do shipping let me know.
PM me and I'll run over and pick it up when convenient for you.

Veteran Taiwan star looks to China as the future
By Ben Blanchard
BEIJING (Reuters Life!) - For years, many of the hottest entertainers in China have come from Taiwan and Hong Kong, places fans believe make for edgier performers. But veteran Taiwanese singer and actor Alec Su thinks this will change.
Su, still going strong two decades after starting his career and who is mobbed by fans whenever he sets foot in Beijing and other Chinese cities, believes the sheer size of the audience in mainland China is becoming a huge influence on the music scene.
"If you look at the population, there is a huge difference between Taiwan and Hong Kong and the mainland. Slowly but surely the mainland will be seen as a major market," Su told Reuters in a rare interview with foreign media.
"I believe that the influence of the mainland will only get bigger. They have the most people who will watch films, or listen to music," he added.
Hong Kong and Taiwan stars have been seen by mainland Chinese as cooler and more avant-garde than their domestic counterparts, who have to tread a cautious creative line to avoid getting into trouble with the Communist government.
Taiwan's Jay Chou in particular is massively popular in China, his face adorning countless advertisements.
But mainland pop singers such as Li Yuchun, winner of a television talent show in 2005, have already made inroads in an industry traditionally dominated by "outsiders."
"I think there's a lot of very good mainland singers, very creative. What they are writing about, their lives, have changed vastly because of China's opening up," Su said. Continued...

Alec Baldwin, Joshua Bell and More Join Lang Lang at Carnegie Hall Tonight
The international megastar pianist Lang Lang will give a special one-night only concert, hosted by Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG Award-winning entertainer Alec Baldwin, at Carnegie Hall in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage tonight, June 3 at 6:30PM. Lang Lang and Friends in Concert, rescheduled from its original date because of Hurricane Sandy, will benefit The Lang Lang International Music Foundation. Presented by CAMI Music, the event will feature Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell, Grammy Award-winning soprano Renée Fleming, nine-time Grammy Award winning recording artist John Legend, and Danish singer-songwriter Oh Land in special guest appearances.
Lang Lang will offer a performance of solo piano works by Frederic Chopin featured on his latest album, and for the first time ever Joshua Bell will join him in a performance of the Franck Sonata in A Major for Violin and Piano. Six child prodigies from three different continents, who have been supported by the Foundation in their music studies, will perform alongside Lang Lang.
The program will be followed by a gala dinner at the beautiful 10 On the Park at the Time Warner Center, Columbus Circle. All proceeds from the event will benefit The Lang Lang International Music Foundation, established in 2008, with the mission to educate and inspire the next generation of classical music lovers and performers by cultivating tomorrow's top pianists, delivering music education, and building a young audience through live music experiences. The vision of the Foundation is based on one simple principle: music makes life better. It heals, unites and inspires. And it makes us better people.

Current job: Crime Lab Technician for the South Bend Police Department.
Major: Biology with Forensic Science Track
Minor: Criminal Justice
Hometown: Greenwood, IN
High School: Center Grove High School
Current Residence: Noblesville, IN
Why did you choose SJC?
I chose SJC for the track and field program and also for the small school atmosphere. I knew that if I wanted to major in Biology, I would need small class sizes and the ability to get help easily outside of class whenever necessary.
As a student, what was your experience like at SJC?
SJC was a great experience. I ran cross country and did steeplechase for the track and field team. It was awesome to be involved in sports at SJC. They helped me stay focused and also do well in school. I also gained friendships that will last a lifetime, and I am very thankful for that.
What did you appreciate most about SJC's Department of Biology?
I really appreciated how all of the professors in the Biology and Chemistry departments were always willing to help me when I needed it. If I was ever uncertain about a subject we were focusing on in class, the professors were always willing to meet with me on their own time to help me out.
I chose the Forensics Science Track after taking Intro to Forensic Science my freshman year. The class was taught by Dr. Neal Haskell, which right away made me confident that it was going to be in an excellent class. I came to SJC freshman year undecided on a major, but as soon as I took that class, I knew that Forensic Science was the field for me.
Tell us about your internship.
At the lab, I worked with another intern on a project, where we used different methods of detecting blood under multiple layers of paint. So, let's say a crime takes place and the criminal decides to paint over blood that may have gotten on a wall. There are different methods, both chemical and mechanical, in which a CSI can detect blood under the paint.The Department of Biology, specifically Dr. Haskell and Joel Haskell, helped me get an internship with the Johnson County Criminalistics Laboratory in Olathe, Kansas, the summer after my senior year. Dr. Haskell and Joel knew the supervisor of the CSI section at the crime lab, and the supervisor was willing to take me on as an intern. It was one of the coolest experiences I will ever have.
I also had the opportunity to attend multiple crime scenes. Being able to intern for the crime lab and going to crime scenes helped solidify that I want to pursue Crime Scene Investigation as a career. Everything about it fascinates me, and no case is exactly the same, which to me makes for an exciting career.
How did the Core Program integrate with your major?
The Core Program allowed me to grow as a writer and speaker. Writing crime scene reports and testifying in court will be essential to my career, so the skills I learned in Core will definitely be helpful in the future.
What advice would give to a student looking to major in Biology?
I would tell them to make sure they always stay focused on their goals. School is really tough, especially for science majors, and if you do not stay focused, you will have a really rough time. Also, take advantage of the small school atmosphere, meaning take advantage of the small class sizes and the ability to talk to your professors outside of class. They are all very willing to help. Make sure you show interest in class, and even if you are a quiet person, at least stay attentive.
Now that you are out of school, how will the Core Program be useful in your future?
Core will be very useful in my future because as a CSI, I will be asked to write lab reports and also testify in court. It is important that I am a good writer and speaker.
What are your plans for the future?
I plan to take the GRE again so I can apply to graduate school. I am looking to apply to graduate school at IUPUI of Indianapolis, IN; Arcadia University of Glenside, PA; and Marshall University of Huntington, WV.
Get a jump start on your career and have your resume ready to go at graduation.
Small colleges offer you personal attention; SJC professors do more for you—they serve as mentors.
The Core Program is all about you and your role in the world.
You get more deeply involved at SJC, so you get more meaningful experiences that prepare you for career and life.
Get real-life experience and become an excellent communicator.

Apache attacks
So I got a force dryer yesterday and ups left it on the porch. I opened the door and let her out while I picked up the box. A lady was walking down the road and when she saw Apache she was freaking out. She just stayed still and cowered and quietly said no no no. She was seriously scared of dogs. Apache ran straight for her and even jumped up! It was similar to another story on here except no falling or injuries.
I did shutz last year and the trainer was always saying no to obedience but I need to get into a good obedience class to stop the jumping on people.
ok now she also got sprayed by a skunk!
Heck of a way to start your day! Hope it gets better.
Your Schutzhund trainer said NO obedience? Did they mean for the 8 weeks old puppy or while your dog was an older puppy / young adult? Lots of competition dogs just enjoy drive building and socialization / bond building the first few weeks of life at their new home but obedience does start early. Obedience is the foundation of it all, you should definitely be doing obedience with a older puppy / young adult / adult / senior.
Sorry you had a bad day... sounds like all you need is some good consistent training and good manners building! Things will get better, don't stress. ;)
what did you use for the skunk spray? did it work
How old is this wild thing? That poor lady's probably more scared of dogs now. LOL
How about some obedience lessons for the handler? Like don't let your dog loose for starters. Could have avoided the first offense and probably the second.
The GSD club offers obedience .

Monster and AACN Announce Winners of a New Scholarship Program Created to Address the Nurse Faculty Shortage
Press Release
For Immediate Release
Monster and AACN Announce Winners of a New Scholarship Program
Created to Address the Nurse Faculty Shortage
WASHINGTON, DC, and MAYNARD, MA, February 2, 2006 – Monster, the leading global online careers property and flagship brand of Monster Worldwide, and AACN are pleased to announce that five scholarship winners have been selected to receive $25,000 awards through a new program created to address the growing shortage of nurse faculty. The Monster-AACN Nursing Faculty Scholarship was launched in fall 2005 to support students enrolled in Baccalaureate to Doctoral degree programs. The five scholarship winners include:
- Keynan Hobbs, University of Pennsylvania
- Meghan McGonigal Kenney, University of Iowa
- Courtney Reinisch, Columbia University
- Sara Rivera Riemer, State University of New York at Buffalo
- Allison Webel, University of California-San Francisco
"This year's scholarship winners were selected from an outstanding pool of applicants who will serve as future faculty and leaders of the nursing profession," said AACN President Jean E. Bartels. "AACN is grateful to Monster for its forward thinking and commitment to sustaining the nursing profession by expanding the population of nurse educators."
Last December, AACN reported that at least 32,617 qualified students were turned away from baccalaureate nursing programs in 2005 due largely to a shortage of faculty. Given the growing demand for highly qualified registered nurses, AACN is concerned that bright students are being turned away at a time when more nurses are needed. The Monster-AACN Nursing Faculty Scholarship program was created to help address this concern and increase the population of doctorally-prepared nursing faculty available to teach in nursing schools nationwide. Students who receive scholarship funding have agreed to work as nursing faculty after graduation as part of this innovative program.
"Monster is keenly aware of the challenges associated with growing, encouraging and sustaining the nursing profession," said Denise Cautela, Healthcare Segment Director. "In joining forces with the AACN to address the critical need for nursing faculty, we hope to help alleviate the vicious cycle facing the industry today. Alleviating the financial barriers to nursing education ensures these students will be able to complete their nursing studies and share their knowledge with future nursing candidates."
This year's scholarship winners are a diverse group of students enrolled in both research-focused (PhD) and practice-focused (DNP) doctoral programs. These students were honored at a reception sponsored by Monster which was held in conjunction with AACN's Doctoral Education Conference in San Diego on January 27, 2006. Brief biographies of the scholarship winners may be found on the Web at http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Media/monsterwinners.htm.
