Three quick notes before I close up shop here at 1 a.m. ...I had a chat with Fantasy Debut's Tia Nevitt about Auralia's Colors this week, which you're welcome to read. She asked thoughtful questions. (A while back, she finished reading the book and posted her thoughts.)Adam Walter, one of my favorite bloggers, just posted some wonderful observations on my favorite comedy of 2007: Lars and the Real Girl. He also noted Ebert's response (but warns of spoilers).P.S. Don't miss McSweeny's … [Read more...]

Adam Walter Really, Really Doesn't Like the Narnia Film
Walter rants. So anyway, yes, I finally got out and saw Narnia. What a waste of time. It's one of the few really boring films of 2005. It's hard to say all of what went wrong--I don't have the time or enthusiasm to compile such a list, frankly.

The number of children in Japan under 15 years old has fallen to a record low of 16.17 million, stretching the downtrend to a 34th consecutive year, according to government estimates released Monday.
The figure, current as of April 1, is down 160,000 from the year before and the lowest since officials began compiling comparable data in 1950, showing that Japan's birthrate is nowhere near bottoming out.
By gender, 8.28 million were boys and 7.88 million were girls, the Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry said.
Children under 15 accounted for 12.7 percent of the overall population, down 0.1 percentage point and falling for the 41st consecutive year.
The ratio was the lowest among major countries with populations of at least 40 million, and compared with 19.3 percent in the United States, 17.6 percent in Britain, 16.5 percent in China, 14.3 percent in South Korea and 13.1 percent in Germany.
By age, those 12 to 14 made up the largest group at 3.47 million, followed by those from 9 to 11 at 3.25 million, 6 to 8 at 3.21 million, 3 to 5 at 3.15 million and 2 and younger at 3.09 million. The figures show that the population decreases as the age goes down.
Among the 47 prefectures, only Tokyo logged a year-on-year increase in children under 15 as of last Oct. 1.
Okinawa had the highest ratio at 17.5 percent, with Shiga coming in second at 14.6 percent and Saga third with 14.2 percent.
The lowest child ratio logged was 10.8 percent in Akita, followed by 11.3 percent in Tokyo and 11.5 percent in Hokkaido.

Ariz. gov distances herself from 'Obamacare'
In this photo provided by by Ariz. Rep. Jeff Dial, Gov. Jan Brewer signs a proclamation calling the Legislature into special session, Tuesday, June 11, 2013, in Phoenix. Brewer acted after weeks of House delays in considering the state budget and her Medicaid expansion proposal. (AP Photo/Courtesy of Jeff Dial)
[auth] PHOENIX (AP) — Gov. Jan Brewer is working to spin her hard-fought victory over legislative conservatives who opposed her Medicaid expansion plan, saying it isn't "Obamacare."
After pushing the Medicaid expansion through the Legislature, the Republican says growing the state's health care program for the poor isn't the same as embracing President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
She calls it a "tiny portion" of the federal law.
But expanding Medicaid coverage is a key part of the Affordable Care Act. Medicaid will cover nearly half of the 30 million uninsured Americans expected to gain coverage. Arizona will add more than 300,000 people to the 1.3 million in its health care program.
One critic says Brewer is "feathering her nest" for when she leaves office. It's not yet clear what she plans to do when she finishes her second term at the end of 2014.

Designer beds, PL drive Bon Marché
January 6, 2003,
Designer collection bedding and Federated corporate private labels are driving a strong home textiles business at The Bon Marché here.
But, as Sachse explained, "while home textiles overall is one of our strengths, bath is hit and miss. Utility bedding has been okay. We're a heavily penetrated textiles store."
The designer bedding collections have been especially strong, and Sachse sees the new licensing arrangement for Donna Karan Home with CHF Inds. "as very exciting.
I'm so glad for the whole Donna Karan organization. They create great product customers love, and I expect big things this year."
Other hits in home textiles, Sachse said, were Federated's Charter Club and Hotel collections. "We offer great value and price."
Looking at the rest of the home store, Sachse remarked, "It's been up and down. We're struggling with tabletop, but we're happy with our progress in housewares. And we have a terrific frame program, and luggage is coming along.
Furniture is "where we have a particular niche and we have about twice the sales penetration as the rest of Federated," Sachse noted.
This spring, The Bon will launch a new promotional campaign "branding ourselves as No. 1 in the Pacific Northwest for fashion, value and service. We're putting the very best product on the shelves, and we're going to tell a great product and service story," Sachse explained.
Looking ahead, Sachse sees the Helena, MT, test format "as being viable. Customers like many of the amenities, like shopping carts, customer verification terminals and central checkouts."
The 65,000-square-foot Helena store opened last August as part of a 42-unit Federated test "of reinventing the department store" around the country. "We are actively looking for sites and will roll it out. And we're translating some of the Helena changes into our full-line stores."

Robert Perry started the Wizards off with a double down the left field line and was driven in by shortstop Lance Zawadzki. Fort Wayne wasn't done yet, as Zawadzki stole second, and third baseman Justin Baum doubled to deep right center. The Wizards closed the scoring with right fielder Yefri Carvajal's flare to right to take the lead 3-0.
In the top of the second, Dayton got it back with a sacrifice fly and then a two-run home run by right fielder Justin Reed, the ninth batter in the order.
In the top of the fifth, Jeremy Hefner pitched himself out of a jam with runners on first and third and no outs after a swinging strike got past catcher Luis Martinez. He then proceeded to strike out the next two batters.
Hefner went five innings, and with the exception of a bad second inning, had an impressive line without having his best stuff.
"Hefner throws a fastball, changeup, and slider for strikes and that is hard to hit when you can throw all three," said Bryan Oland whose two inning relief stint earned him the win.
In the bottom of the sixth, center fielder Brad Chalk appeared to rescue the Wizards from a major missed opportunity as the two previous batters failed to advance the runner from third with no outs. Chalk beat out a soft grounder to third to score Carvajal to put the Wizards ahead 4-3.
"I think a big part of that play was also that they didn't hold [designated hitter Steve] Buschini at first, which forced them to try to get Chalk at first. It was a huge at-bat," said Dascenzo.
Then the floodgates opened up.
The Wizards then proceeded to score six more runs as Perry tripled home Buschini and Chalk. Zawadzki and Baum then drew back to back walks when second baseman Andrew Parrino doubled off of the center field wall bringing home three more. Carvajal, who had opened the inning by getting on base on an error by the third baseman, then got a liner past the center fielder for a two-base error driving home Parrino for the final run.
The Wizards added another run in the seventh inning to conclude their scoring, but the offensive star of the game was Perry.
Perry, who had struggled at the beginning of the year in Lake Elsinore before being sent down, has been showing much of the promise predicted by him for many going into this year in the Midwest League, beginning the game with a .326/.410/.402 stat line. He went 3-for-4, with a double, triple and a base-on-balls, just missing the cycle.
"It goes through your head but it's also a good way to get yourself out of what you're trying to do at the plate, be in control," said Perry. "When you get a consistent approach and stick with it, good things will happen, which is what I am trying to do."

Subway Pledges to Make Every Footlong Sandwich Actually a Foot Long
If you thought Subway wasn't going to budge an inch on its stance regarding the scandal over how long its footlong sandwiches really are, you're wrong.
If you thought Subway wasn't going to budge an inch on its stance regarding the scandal over how long its footlong sandwiches really are, you're wrong.
How many times does this have to happen before we all stop going to KFC? Hopefully twice is the answer. Three weeks ago a teenager in the UK thought he had been served a giant chicken brain from the fast-food chain. It turned out to be a kidney. On the one hand, gross. On the other hand, at least we're pretty sure that what Redditor six6six4kids found in his order was also a kidney. MAKE IT STOP!
While it sure is tasty, KFC is always a bit of a risk. A UK student learned that the hard way when he discovered what he thought was a brain inside a piece of chicken he was eating. Um, maybe we'll be avoiding the Colonel from now on.
Maybe Subway is stepping up their game a tad. They've made it abundantly clear that they now have avocados and sriracha sauce, and they will NOT be putting ketchup on anybody's sandwich. At all. They don't even have ketchup, and one employee was willing to fight to prove it. They don't call them sandwich artists for nothing.
Good news/bad news. The good news is we found your nose ring!! The bad news is that it was in somebody's McDonald's breakfast burrito in Lawrenceville, Georgia. So we might not be eating another one of those for a while, because yuck.
Remember when we introduced you to the Pizza Hut Crown Crust Pizza? We'd like you to meet Pizza Hut Middle East's newest massive calorie bomb, the Cone Crust Pizza. Sounds innocent enough, right? WRONG. Wrong wrong wrong. Heaven help us all.
So this morning, I decide to stop at an unnamed drive-through to grab some breakfast. Well, about 2 minutes into the wait, everything halted...
If you put down that morning Cruller or Long John because you're trying to watch your figure or keep your blood sugar from skyrocketing, go ahead and have one. Just tell yourself it's National Donut Day.
McDonald's Shamrock Shake usually comes once a year around St. Patrick's Day, but as the holiday passes, so does the elusive tasty beverage. Now you don't have to be in March (or Irish) to enjoy one year round.

openSUSE Build Service Now Open Build Service
openSUSE Build Service has a new name and new website.
openSUSE community manager Jos Poortvliet announced that the openSUSE Build Service has been renamed Open Build Service in response to its open and cross-distribution model. "It is and will remain an openSUSE project, with significant contributions from SUSE and openSUSE community members as well as many others from communities like MeeGo and VLC, but also be more clear about its cross-distribution, cross-project goals and ambitions," he says in his blog post.
This week Novell announced commercial support options for the Open Build Service (OBS) via a new OBS Developer Services (DS) program. Poortvliet explains, "Under this program, customers will receive support for configuration and setup issues as well as the ability to get code fixes for bugs that affect them. As part of this program, SUSE is also collecting requirements to the OBS software and will input this into the planning process for OBS. SUSE will be working with partners to enable and back them to offer implementation and consulting services."

A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.

As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.

I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.

oops the title shouldn't have started out with "Arkansa." Fingers too fast this morning!
This is a discussion on Arkansas Another buyback scheme, another lonely voice of reason within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial...08/1068900.asp City gun buyback idea questioned in Council By BRIAN MEYER News Staff Reporter 2/8/2007 Mayor Byron W.

City gun buyback idea questioned in Council
By BRIAN MEYER
News Staff Reporter
Mayor Byron W. Brown's plan to launch a gun buyback program to get illegal weapons off the streets is getting mixed reviews from some Common Council members.
Police Commissioner H. McCarthy Gipson met Wednesday with the Council to discuss more than a dozen crime-fighting initiatives that are under way or in the planning stages. He said a new Mobile Response Unit is already making headway in targeting illegal guns and drugs.
When asked by Council President David A. Franczyk about Brown's plans to introduce a gun buyback program, Gipson declined to discuss specifics.
"Some of these things are still on the drawing board," was the only thing Gipson would say.
While Franczyk has praised some of the Police Department's anti-crime efforts, he raised doubts about the gun buyback initiative. Franczyk said he doesn't think gun buybacks launched when James D. Griffin was mayor did much to rid the city of the type of weapons that generally are used to commit crimes.
"You're not going to get the Glocks or Uzis," Franczyk told a reporter after the meeting. "People are going to bring in rusty relics. Unless there's a new wrinkle, I don't think it's going to work any better than it did in the past."
But Ellicott Council Member Brian C. Davis thinks one such "wrinkle" might involve offering some unique incentives to turn in weapons. For example, he said maybe for each weapon that is turned in, the city could offer a pair of designer sneakers or other fashionable attire that may have been seized in past raids.
"I'd be willing to bet you would be able to get a lot of guns off the streets that way," Davis said.
Delaware Council Member Michael J. LoCurto said he thinks a buyback blitz would help, but only to a limited extent.
Brown later told a reporter that his gun buyback initiative is only one component of a multipronged approach to curbing crime.
"If it gets one gun off the streets, it will be worth it," he said, adding that the most dangerous weapons would command the highest prices in the buyback effort.
Meanwhile, Brown said he thinks progress is being made in the fight against crime. He said the homicide rate in January was down more than 40 percent from the same period a year ago. Last year, there were 74 murders in Buffalo, up from 56 in 2005.
Brown added that State Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo's recent decision to assign three prosecutors to help the Erie County district attorney with homicide cases should help reduce a troubling backlog.
Gipson met with eight Council members for about 90 minutes. He made it clear that he would like to see the city hire more officers, echoing a message Brown delivered earlier this week when he was in the state capital.
Gipson said his office has reviewed police manpower levels in comparable cities, and he said Buffalo has fewer officers per 1,000 residents than any municipality that was studied.

I'm a dog lover - but I tend to be frightened of larger dogs.
My parents got a Rottie about a year and half ago (from my brother bc he moved into an apt that would not allow the dog) - I was TERRIFIED.
That dog is the sweetest, kindest, gentlest dog I've ever met. She has the big wiggly butt and soft face. She lays down all the way and squishes herself into the ground so she can be the same "size" as Finlay when they play - she's a treasure.
ETA: I can tell the difference between aggressive behavior and play, though!

Sep 24, 2013 - I first went to Shannon for a Deva cut and consultation. She taught me so many tips for managing my lifetime of unruly hair. For the first time in my 50+ years, I am at peace with my curly hair. The cut was fantastic and I went back two weeks later for a color. It's truly the best color I've EVER had! I've received so many compliments on my curls and color! I won't be going anywhere else for cuts, colors or styles! Shannon is highly recommended!

black wall nut
have a black walnut tree next door that drops a ton of nuts so during deer season i picked of a bout 10lbs worth and planted them know walnut is uncommon now days and if the grow i will more than likly never see the benifit of their crop but future hunters and animals will.
hats off to ya to for trying to take care of some future generations.
buck a lot of hunters/outdoors folk for get that they look at the short term here now 6 months down the road and not for the next gen. o have even planted crab apples back where they once was. and seed of native plants in old abandond fields to help their return i would love to walk through the burnt out area i planted the walnuts in 25-to 30 years and see them and the animals that eat them. ill find a list of trees i have not all are food suply trees some are ie a tree that certian birds prefer to nest in or rodants like to nest in in return giving a food sorce to ie bob cats. strangly enough deer seem to like to be around area with bobcat urine. so as hunters we must not only look at what we hunt and better that part but also look at the whole food chain. alot of hunter dont know it or willig to admit it but preditors are good for herds by culling the weak the sick and the poor gentics animals thus insureing a health heard. ie fox and yote numbers rise and fall with the rabbit pop in a cycle in area's whith no preditors for rabit even deer smaller siclkler one mutiply and tend to take over.
like it or not what ever we do to add to the food suply we also make food for another animal

A Basic Guide to the Crown Court
What is the Crown Court?
The Crown Court is the next level up from the Magistrates Court within the criminal court system. It has greater powers of punishment than the magistrates court and therefore generally deals with the most serious cases. If you find yourself at the Crown Court and need advice please
contact us
Each Crown Court covers a large region which will contain a number of magistrates courts. Relevant cases are directed from magistrates courts to their regional Crown Court. Please see our article "
A Brief Guide to the Magistrates Court
" for further information on which cases are sent to the Crown Court.
One of the biggest differences between the Crown Court and a magistrates court is that Trials heard in the Crown Court are decided by a jury of 12 men and women selected at random from the area covered by that Crown Court. It is unlikely that members of a jury will have experience of criminal courts. Lay Magistrates and District Judges in the Magistrates Court hear many cases over time so it is sometimes said that they can become cynical. As a result it is sometimes argued that a jury may be more open minded and therefore more likely to find a defendant Not Guilty than Lay Magistrates or District Judges.
What will it be like when I go to the Crown Court?
Most Crown Courts will have several court rooms with different cases being heard in each one. Therefore upon arrival at the Crown Court anyone attending for a particular case will need to find out in the reception area which court room that case is being heard in and make their way to the court room.
Unless stated otherwise all of the court rooms in the Crown Court are open to the public and contain a special seating area for members of the public. The judge sits on raised bench overlooking the court and the lawyers representing in a case will be behind lower benches facing the Judge. Defendants are required to stand or sit in the dock at the back of the court. The dock is designed for defendants to be able to see and hear everything that happens in the court room.
Most lawyers in the Crown Court wear wigs and black gowns (as you may have seen on television). The lawyers in the Crown Court are either barristers who are self employed and are instructed by either the prosecution or the defence to argue their case. or Solicitors with a qualification called Higher Rights of Audience. These are employed by your firm to ensure continuity in your case. At this firm we have
3 Higher Courts Advocates
to help you.
Crown Court judges are qualified lawyers who are paid by the Government to act in that post and they direct the jury as to what the law is. The Crown Court judge is also responsible for deciding what sentence a person should receive (if they either plead Guilty or are found Guilty after a trial) as well as making decisions on matters of law raised by lawyers involved in the case.
The First Hearing
A defendant will have time to speak to the lawyer representing them in court before their case is heard.
The first hearing at the Crown Court will not be for a Trial to take place but will usually require that the defendant enter pleas of Guilty or Not Guilty to any charges they face.
If the Defendant pleads Guilty to all charges then the Judge is given a account of the offences that have been committed and details of the defendants past history. The Defence lawyer will be able to address the judge and put forward any reasons why the offence was committed. They can also highlight any features about the defendant or their character which might help to persuade the judge to consider a more lenient sentence.
Frequently before deciding upon what sentence to impose the judge will adjourn a case for a period of time to allow the Probation Service to interview the defendant and prepare a detailed report for the court to consider.
Where a Not Guilty plea is entered to one or more charges and the Prosecution wish to continue with the case the judge is told what the real issues in the case are (for example that the defendant was acting in self defence) and a time estimate is agreed for how many days the Trial will take. The judge then adjourns the case for the Trial to happen at a future date.
Trial by Jury in the Crown Court
A Trial happens when the prosecution try to prove that a defendant is Guilty of an offence and Defendant argues that he or she is Not Guilty and that the Prosecution have not proven the case against them.
At the start of the Trial the 12 members of the jury are called into court and "sworn in". This means that they promise to do their their best to listen to the evidence during the Trial and make a fair decision as to whether they each find the defendant Guilty or Not Guilty.
During the Trial the judge is responsible for ensuring everything that happens is according to the law and is fair. The task of the jury is to listen to the evidence, to accept from the judge what the relevant law is and then to decide whether they find the Defendant Guilty or Not Guilty.
If the Defendant is found Guilty then it is the Judge who will decide what sentence is given to the Defendant.
During the Trial both the prosecution and defence lawyers will be able to make speeches to the jury in an attempt to argue their side of the case.
The prosecution have to present their case first for it is their job to put enough evidence forward to prove the case against the defendant. Most evidence is given by way of a witness coming into court and telling the court and jury what happened. Every prosecution witness can then be asked questions by the defence lawyer (this is known as cross examination) who will try to throw doubt or possibly discredit that witnesses evidence.
If the evidence is strong enough for the case to carry on after the prosecution have finished calling all of their evidence the defendant can choose to give evidence in court to put over their side of the story.
After that any defence witness may also come into court and tell the court what they know about the case.
As with the prosecution witnesses the defendant and defence witness can also be cross examined by the opposing lawyer which means the prosecution lawyer can also ask them questions.
At the end of all of the evidence in the Trial the Judge "sums up" all the evidence from both the prosecution and the defence and explains to the jury what the law is. The judge explains what the prosecution must be prove for the jury to find the defendant guilty.
The jury then leave the court room and sit together in a separate room where they between them must each reach a decision as to whether they find the defendant Guilty of Not Guilty.
Initially the jury are required to come to an unanimous verdict but after a period of time has passed if the jury cannot do so then they can come to a decision on a majority verdict where 10 or more of the jury agree. A 9 to 3 majority is not enough. On rare occasions there is a "hung jury" which means that the jury simply cannot agree on a majority verdict. There is often a Re-Trial when this happens which means the whole Trial is heard again at a later date but with a different jury.

I've always used it for anything I needed to have a good base to beat on, but it seems as I get older the anvil gets more finesse use, and not just the heavy beating. I shaped many of the parts on my project using it, and although it's not a "real" anvil, it does the job well. One edge is rounded from heavy use of boxcar wheels, and the other is pretty square. Works out well depending on what I need. The ends are cut to a point on one and squared on the other.
This was a picture I took when I was shaping the 16ga to fill in my front fenders for the hidden latches on my tilt frontend. That's the old anvil on it's side with metal C clamped to the base:
Oh heck yeah, I have a few of them. Had one for years and years that I used all the time. One of the bottom edges like you are working with in the picture I ground to a little better radius so there are four different ones on it. Then I moved into a house with an old retired rail road guy and he had it all over that yard. He had pieces for the garbage can to sit on, he had some narrow gauge stuff that made up the close line poles, he cracked me up.

Genre: Emo
For Fans of: Katy Perry
Recommended Tracks: "Get To The Beach!" "Big Bag of Sandwiches" "Shit Twins"
What the hell do you expect from a band called Dads? If you guessed actual dads, well you're wrong. On the other hand, if you guessed emo music, congratulations! You have the ability to match hilarious band names to their respective genre. It really is a talent; use it wisely.
Dads is an emo two piece formed by the broiest of bros John Bradley on drums and vocals, and Scott Scharinger on guitar and backing vocals. Two unusually adorable men with a love of top 40 radio pop, a taste for cheap beer, and a fantastic ability for crafting song and album titles. If you can't get past my sarcastic veneer then allow me to come right out and say that I freaking love this band. I really, really do. If you caught me writing this review around this time last year, then I can promise that you'd probably find me hunched over my keyboard frothing from my mouth over the joy of having just discovered these guys.
I think part of the reason why I like Dads so much is that they are a band that I can honestly say I identify with. I can picture them both around my age very clearly, young, awkward, and listening to Brand New and Blink-182 albums in each other's basements, pining over some girl or drinking their dad's (hee hee) liquor. You can tell me I'm wrong and that these two dudes were actually lady killing James Bond-esq, herculean super beings, but I still wouldn't be able to shake this very vivid image that I have of them.
I hopped on the Dads bandwagon last year with the release of the out of nowhere 10-track LP "American Radass (This Is Important)." "American Radass" was a record so damn good that it somehow dwarfed every other release that year. Even as Death Grips raided homes, and a Good Kid rapped about living in m.a.a.d city, I could not drop the instant and nearly obsessive love I had with that record. Why is it so good? Because "American Radass" is a record that could only be created by two friends who are so in sync, and so completely and fully understand one and other. The subject matter on "American Radass" is hardly uncharted water in emo music but the way of tackling it is. While I wouldn't describe it as happy, Dads have a very interesting way of turning their struggles with breakups, fear of permanence, drinking problems, depression and loneliness into something that is unmistakably uplifting. What gives "American Radass" its air of magic however is the relationship between Bradley and Scharinger. You truly get the feeling that these two are helping each other, pulling the other up when he falls and fighting their demons together with a beer in hand and a Katy Perry song on repeat (preferably "Thinking of You").
Naturally, the album would have suffered if the songs were anything less than near pop perfection. Thankfully, they are. The ten songs that make up "American Radass" are direct, to the point, and if they were created by literally anyone else on the planet, would have come across as stupid and nearly unlistenable. In the hands of these two bros however, they're unforgettable. Tracks like "Big Bag of Sandwiches" and "Get To The Beach" are obvious standouts amongst obvious standouts, delivering high-energy rushes and thrills that are relatively hard to come by in guitar based music these days. Album centerpiece is the six-minute epic "Shit Twins," which begins with a poem written by Scharinger and concludes with a cathartic release of shoegaze-esq distortion and harmonies. Other highlights included the wonderfully titled "Bakefast at Piffany's," the all too brief and all too personal "Groin Twerk" and the massive closer "Heavy To Touch (Think About Tonight, Forget About Tomorrow)."
Despite the limitations that often come with the two-man group, Dads have a remarkably full sound. One can easily trace the duo's influence back to the late 90s with the release of American Football's self titled LP, a group whose twinkly sound Dads borrows heavily from. In addition to that, it's clear that Dads have studied the best that top 40 pop has to offer, and one can't help but notice the whiff of Taylor Swift or Katy Perry in the band's music.
Dads preceded "American Radass" with a brief, lo-fi EP called "Brush Your Teeth Again;)" – yes, the winky face is actually a part of the title. "Brush Your Teeth Again;)" is an interesting document of the band in their early stages, crafting songs that lacked the full sound of "American Radass" but keep its sense of humor and its lyrical honesty. Though you won't find anything quite as jaw dropping as "Shit Twins" or as catchy as "Big Bag of Sandwiches," "Brush Your Teeth Again;)" is still a fantastic look at the band in the early days of their career.
I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't let down by the band's latest effort, however. Following the success of "American Radass," Dads returned with a four-track EP titled "Pretty Good." The EP was a stark departure from the band's original sound and was a shift in favor of a larger arena rock sound (think Japandroids if they listened to a load of Snowing and American Football). Though the band still retains its sense of sincerity on this release, the songs lack the sense of humor and personality that made the tracks on "American Radass" and "Brush Your Teeth Again;)" so remarkable. But hey, I trust these guys at this point. I mean, they did convince me that an album called "American Radass (This Is Important)" could be something of a masterpiece, right?
You can find Dads on their bandcamp page:

Do you feel more secure with a stack of paper bills in hand to sort and file? Is mailing bill payments a monthly ritual you've never questioned? Switching to electronic banking and billing can streamline your financial life. Not merely an alternate method, e-banking will save you time, money and effort while adding security to your banking routines.
Many people stick to tried-and-true paper bookkeeping because they believe it's the only certain way to keep track of financial details, not only for themselves but for the oft-feared IRS audit, future loan applications and more. Let us show you how e-banking and e-billing not only invalidate that theory but give you plenty of other benefits, too.
- Get rid of the clutter. It's absolutely unnecessary to stuff your desk and file cabinets with reams of bill and bank account statements. When your records are electronic, you can access them online at any time.
- Find what you need more quickly than ever. Even if you've got your filing system down pat, we're betting an online search can put your finger on that statement you need even more quickly. Electronic records also allow you to customize your search; look for transactions within a certain date range, search for keywords, or find specific dollar amounts.
- Safeguard the security of your personal data. All it takes to destroy the security of your banking and billing records is a thief who swipes your mail right out of the mailbox—or plucks statements out of the trash once you're done with them. Online banking, mobile banking, and electronic bill payments bring you a whole new level of security; including passwords, safety images, challenge questions, and top-rung encryption.
- Retrieve your records even after loss or disaster. Nobody wants to think about fire, flood or theft, but all three can destroy your financial records unless they're stored safely online. Double down with redundant security by backing up your records in cloud storage or on a hard drive.
- Go easy on the environment. Less paper and fewer resources spent creating, mailing, and delivering bills and statements mean a lower impact on the environment.
- Save on mailing costs. Your bank and creditors save money when they don't have to mail endless statements and bills to you. You save on postage and envelopes, checks, and trips to the post office when you don't have to mail checks back to them.
The tangible benefits of electronic banking and billing mean more convenience and less cost and hassle for you—benefits you can bank on.

"He came home, and said, 'I'd like to see the horses'," said his wife, Elizabeth. "We drove him to the barn and he sat on the bench outside, and they brought out every single one of the horses for him."
"They don't really recommend it, because of the pacemaker," said Allen Jerkens. "We'll have to figure out something."
Although he did not get a racing channel in his room (he said he was more upset about not being able to get the Turner Movie Classic channel) Jerkens met daily with assistant trainer Fernando Abreu, and has been following his horses closely.
Saturday, Whirling Agatha ($8.20) gave Jerkens his first winner of the Aqueduct meet, closing from last to win the first race by 4 1/4 lengths. It was Jerkens' first victory since Different Drummer won the second at Belmont on October 24; his other winner during the Fall Championship Meet was Merchant Marine, who won the overnight Devil Diver Stakes on September 7.
"We haven't been setting the world on fire," said Jerkens. "Even at Saratoga, we won only a few races."
Among those were Joseph Shields' Any Limit, who added the Grade 2 Honorable Miss to her earlier win in the Grade 2 First Flight. Sixth to Indyanne in her most recent start, the Grade 3 Thoroughbred Club of America over Polytrack at Keeneland on October 4, the 5-year-old mare is being pointed toward the Grade 2 Top Flight Handicap at the Big A on Friday, November 28 -- the day after Thanksgiving -- during HolidayFest.
Jerkens said he may start Mrs. Leverett Miller's So Glitzy in the Top Flight as well. The four-year-old daughter of Gilded Time took nearly a year to break her maiden, after which Jerkens suggested to her owner the filly be retired. Fortunately, Miller had other ideas and So Glitzy came back to win her next race and most recently finished third to Altesse in the Grade 3 Turnback the Alarm.
"She had that big race up at Saratoga, too," said Jerkens of So Glitzy, who returned $38.40 in winning an allowance on July 25.
Shortly after Thanksgiving, Jerkens and his wife Elizabeth plan to head, as usual, to Florida for the winter. While racing doesn't begin at Gulfstream Park until the New Year, Jerkens plans on running at least some at Calder Race Course in December.
"The purses may be a little bigger at Gulfstream but you get 12-horse fields," said Jerkens, ever the pragamatist. "At Calder, you're running against six or seven."

Since the 70s, environmental movements have discussed the impact of technological advance upon the planet ecosystem. With notions such as environmental impacts and risks in mind, environmental sociology has pointed out many effects of modern technologies on environment, mostly in a technological phobic manner and a defensive way. From the perspective of innovation, this paper aims to debate different positions regarding technology. Instead of focusing on specific technologies and immediate effects, innovation provides a broader and systemic view on technological practices. The building of democratic and decentralized social and technological networks and efficient and multiple innovation environments represent today essential conditions for environmentalism.

This was an extremely popular show in the UK, and followed on the
hugely popular comic's Dennis the Menace. Season 1 of 26 episodes ran
on the BBC and the popularity produced a second 26 episodes the
following year.
NOT to be confused with the blonde boy of the same name in the USA, the UK version had a black and red striped shirt and spiked black hair.
I guess it was renamed Dennis and Gnasher to avoid the confusion when shown in the USA. Gnasher was Dennis's dog.
There were 52 episodes in all, but after a ten year gap rumor has it that he has been reworked, redesigned and looks like he may grace our screens again in the very near future. The original 52 were made by Tony Collingwood and the animation by Kieron Seamons. Well worth seeing again and again !
Welcome to "Matthew Rants", and boy it has been a long time since I ranted a lot. Today I will rant about this dreadful British cartoon. In Britain it was known as "Dennis and Gnasher". It appeared on those Beano comics in Britain. It never came to the U.S. of A until 2005. It appeared on PBS Sprout On Demand. (Look before I continue I did it once and only once. I never watch PBS or it's infantile counterparts. It just came out of curiosity.) As I watched it, it was so predictable. Dennis (a kid with black bushy hair and a red and black shirt with horizontal stripes) sound like Numbuh 4 when he talks. Gnasher is a Ruff clone except he is looking kind of like a hybrid between a rat and a bear or weasel and a cat. Something like that. He is one hell of a trouble-maker. Worst of all he flirts with the ladies! His parents try to discipline him and make him end up taking a hair cut. OK This one contains a spoiler. He escapes this barber named Slasher Brown (sounds like something off from a horror film). He escapes him and Brown sends an army of barbers to capture him and have his hair cut. As Dennis and Gnasher are being chased across the road, kids are rooting for him and encouraging him! Naturally, in the end, he looses and a policeman searches for the delinquent, something like that. I can't tell you any more about this. After this was over, I checked out other episodes on demand and read descriptions of them, BUT DIDN'T WATCH THEM. I clicked the exit button of my remote and boy was I bothered, turned to Cartoon Network and my wounds were healed thanks to THE HI HI PUFFY AMIYUMI SHOW. A few months later I didn't see this show on demand. Thank God! Because I think parents wrote letters to PBS Sprout and it got taken off the air or a lack of interest. Whatever it is, he is nothing but trouble. I don't watch PBS sprout keep in mind. Parents do your future of your children a favor and don't let them watch it, because this is one of those cartoons where a trouble-making character drives people bananas and gives growing up and maturity a bad name. So, avoid it like the plague.

Cartoon ABC is a new app that is designed specifically for children ages two through five. This app combines cartoon animations and a simple touch interface to help kids learn the alphabet. There are over 100 different animations that correspond to the letters of the alphabet, so kids will definitely not get bored with this app! I really loved the clean look of the app and the illustrations and sound reinforcement.
When I think of how many children's alphabet apps there are – it is overwhelming. I would have to say that this is one of the best that I have seen so far – not only will your child learn their ABC's, they will also receive an education on phonics, spelling/reading, and word recognition. I like that the opening page of the app is a screen with flashcards. Kids can pick any flashcard they want to – they do not have to go in order from A to Z. Each flashcard will take you to a letter that will display both the upper and lower case of the letter and pronounce the letter. For example, Aa will be shown with a picture of an alligator…but wait, there's more…simply look to your right and you will see a blinking outline of an anchor – pull the anchor and it will become the main event…and then look to your left and see the blinking apples on a tree, and so on. Your child may touch each of these items as many times as they want to hear the words and look at each object and when they are done simply push the arrow in the corner to proceed to the next letter. The background music and interactive animations are great and help to keep your child's attention.
Another great feature of this app is the parents section, which you access from the main page by sliding on the light switch. In the parents zone, you can setup profiles with your child's picture and name (multiple profiles allowed). There is also a progress tab to show you how your child is doing with each letter – to make sure that he or she is getting through all the letters from A to Z. You can also find a settings tab here where you can adjust the music and sound effects.
I really enjoyed the Cartoon ABC app and think that it would be very useful for teaching kids their alphabet. I know that I will definitely be playing this app with my son who is almost 2, he is the perfect age for it! I would highly recommend this app to parents with children who are learning their alphabet – and it is free!
Price when Reviewed: Free
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.2 or later. This app is designed for both iPhone and iPad.
Seller: Kids Academy Company
Disclosure: I received a free copy of this app for review purposes.

Fun idea! I subbed for K ytaeerdsy and was amazed at the different skill levels while we practiced writing "J" and "j" as well as "Q" and "q" It was a piece of cake for some and so hard for others… I think this is a great tool to get ready for K.

Age: 18
Are you a member of any club or student group?:
Member of Psi Beta, the Student Ambassador
Program and I'm a Committee Leader of Service for Phi Theta Kappa.
Favorite class at Union: Sociology 101 with Professor
Why did you choose Union?: I originally planned
on going to a four year university. Unfortunately, I did not receive enough financial
aid so Union County College was the best financial choice. Especially since being
a scholar in the STARS program helped me get here as well. Thanks to my advisor,
Ektor Quiles, many opportunities have opened up for me. Union County College was
not only a good financial choice, but also a solid stepping-stone in my education.
What is your fondest memory so far at Union?: Officially
becoming a part of the Phi Theta Kappa family at my induction ceremony. They're
all really awesome, intelligent people with high aspirations and it's great working
and interacting with them.
Interesting fact about yourself: I used to be an
Irish Step Dancer.
Special question – Why did you want to go to the
NEW Leadership™ New Jersey event at Douglass?: – I never knew much about politics
and was sometimes intimidated so I wanted to learn more. I also wanted to hone my
leadership skills for future success. The NEW Leadership™ conference exceeded my
expectations and was a wonderful and enlightening experience. From this experience,
I realized that it's not that hard for people my age to get involved in politics.
I might become involved in local politics when I get older and settled into my clinical
psychology career.
What is the biggest adjustment you had to make
coming to college?: I didn't feel like
I had to make much of an adjustment coming to college. I'm still living at home
and my high school prepared me pretty well for college. I developed the independent
skills necessary for college. College seems intimidating at first, but becoming
involved and gaining support from my peers makes for an easy transition.
Career or further education goals: Clinical Psychologist.
I hope to transfer to Rutgers in the Spring and graduate from their 5-year doctorate
Is there anything else we ought to know about you?:
I sing, play the guitar and write songs.

Bloomberg Wary of Natural Gas Drilling Near Water Supply
New York, NY —
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is voicing concerns about possible natural gas drilling near upstate water reservoirs.
The mayor says any deal to allow drilling must also protect city drinking water.
BLOOMBERG: Look, I think we need energy, there's no question about that. You can drill in a responsible way. Our great concern would be when you're drilling so close to the water supply, the watershed, for this city.
REPORTER: New York City is asking the state for a formal role in permitting gas wells in the watershed. The city also wants a mandatory one-mile buffer around reservoirs and related infrastructure.
There are no applications yet to drill in the New York City watershed, but energy companies have leased tens of thousands of acres of privately-owned land in the Catskills.
In September, the state will begin a public review process of the likely environmental impacts gas drilling would have in the Catskills and Southern Tier.

Book Review:
The Three Princes: Lifting the Veil on the Unseen World
By Tom Julien
If you are like me, you may live in a small community of America made up of primarily white middle-class people. Conversations about demonic or other spiritual activities just don't come up that often. Over the years, I have read books by Frank Peretti and other authors and I've been drawn into the drama of the fictional story. I've wondered about how much of those stories were actually a writer's imagination and how much of that really happens in the invisible spirit world. I have heard overseas missionaries tell stories of demonic possessions and miraculous healings. While I have believed their stories, it seems so out of context for my regular life. I have read the Bible passages that talk about our battle being "not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms"(Eph. 6:12 NIV). But in my sheltered world, I know that I really don't understand that unseen battle that is taking place. Tom Julien, in his book The Three Princes, takes the Bible from cover to cover and writes the story of redemption and of the often-ignored spiritual battle that is taking place.
Tom tells the story in terms of the three princes of this world. The first prince of the world was Adam, made especially by God to rule the newly created world. As you know, Adam's reign was tragically short. His authority is taken from him by the second prince of this world, Satan. The unseen battle has begun. Satan is determined to lead mankind in a complete rebellion against God. The Old Testament is filled with the downward spiral of man's sin and God's judgment. But there is hope! There is one more Prince, Jesus Christ, who comes to earth as a man to redeem what was lost.
Tom Julien, a retired Grace Brethren missionary to France, accomplishes what the subtitle to the book suggests: he lifts the veil of the unseen world. Most of us are pretty ignorant of what is taking place in the spiritual realm. And quite frankly, I think we are happy to stay that way. But, after reading The Three Princes, your eyes will be opened a little more to the spirit world. He shows the intense conflict that started in the Garden of Eden and the way it will end in the book of Revelation. But he also shows that this battle is happening today. His practical words on Satan's schemes (chapter 10), utilizing the armor of God (chapters 12-13), and prayer (chapter 14) are chapters I could read on a monthly basis to remind me the importance of my daily walk with Jesus.
The Three Princes is filled with God's word. It is hard to find a page that doesn't quote or reference the Bible. There is a Scripture Index in the back of the book where you can find that hundreds of verses from 36 books of the Bible are quoted. I really appreciated that Tom doesn't just tell you what he believes, but he shows you in the Bible where he bases his beliefs. I was also reminded that Jesus triumphed over Satan through speaking the Word of God (pg. 123). Yes, I spend time reading God's Word on a regular basis. But I was convicted that I need to be memorizing passages of Scripture in order to be armed against the attacks of the devil.
The Three Prices does a great job of telling the redemption story of the Bible in a big-picture format. Sometimes I am so familiar with the stories in the Bible, or I get so focused on small segments that I can lose track of the main theme. It was refreshing to read a book that highlighted God's entire dramatic plan and allowed me to review it all in a few hours.
I highly recommend this book to any believer, no matter what level of maturity. The Three Princes is an easy to read book that is filled with solid Bible teaching as well as an encouragement to stand firm in the midst of the unseen battle around us.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Northern Arizona wide receivers coach Francis St. Paul has decided to leave his position to pursue new opportunities with his family.
"I was thankful and blessed to be able to coach where I played," said St. Paul. "I am going to miss the players because I felt I was one of the guys when I was out there coaching. I am going to miss working with the coaches. It is not work when you come in to work with these guys."
Francis St. Paul spent four seasons as the wide receivers coach and five overall on the Northern Arizona University staff. He joined the program as an offensive assistant prior to the 2007 season. A former player in the NFL, St. Paul also served as the pro liaison for the staff and coordinated the summer camps.
"Francis St. Paul has been an outstanding member of our coaching staff and will be missed by everyone in the entire NAU athletic department family," said Head Coach Jerome Souers. "As a member of our coaching staff, Francis brought passion, energy, expertise and more than anything, the willingness to go the extra mile to help those around him. As one of our coaches, Francis has been a blessing in my life. I witnessed his development as a student athlete while at NAU, enjoy an NFL opportunity, then grow into a successful husband and father. It brought me absolute joy to see Coach St. Paul make a difference in the lives he touched in his time with us. I have no doubt Francis St. Paul will be successful in whatever endeavor he seeks. We wish for him and his family all the best on their new journey."
During his career at NAU, he coached three of the top six single-season receiving leaders in school history, while the team has ranked among the top 30 in the nation in passing offense for four straight seasons, including fifth overall in the FCS in passing and total offense in 2009. His receivers helped the Lumberjacks post the top passing efficiency mark in the Big Sky and rank sixth overall in the nation in 2011.
St. Paul helped develop Khalil Paden in 2011 to a career season. He was an All-Big Sky honorable mention selection, leading the team with 61 receptions, 991 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Overall, he ranked fifth in the Big Sky in receptions and receiving yards per game.
St. Paul finished his career among the all-time receivers in school history, ranking second in touchdowns (19), ninth in receptions (113) and 10th in receiving yards (1,617). He was a sixth-round pick of the St. Louis Rams in the 2001 NFL Draft, playing with the Rams on the active roster and practice squad over two seasons including Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans. He also had stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars. He finished his professional career with the Ottawa Renegades in the Canadian Football League in 2004.
Head Coach Jerome Souers will look to fill the position prior to the start of spring practice.

Samit Solid But England Suffer Heavy Defeat
Nottinghamshire all-rounder Samit Patel took two wickets and hit a run-a-ball 28 but couldn't prevent England from suffering a heavy defeat in the first one day international against India.
Openers Gambhir and Sehwag were caught by Owais Shah and Ian Bell off Patel's bowling but a stunning 138 off 78 balls from Yuvraj Singh set England an unattainable target of 387.
"They played super cricket, you've got to say well done," said England captain Kevin Pietersen.
"You've got to go over what you've done not so well and regroup. There are six games left and we want to bring some real good cricket to Indore.
"If you stand and watch an innings like Yuvraj played and Sehwag you have just got to take your hat off to the way they played.
"It's an amazing batting pitch. You just need to touch it and it goes for four and a bit harder and it goes for six.
"We'll sit down and see where we made a few mistakes. But if a bloke plays like that you're behind the game straight away. It was a bit of a licence to go out and enjoy yourself."
Pietersen top-scored for England with 63 and Stuart Broad hit 26 from 25 balls.
England have an opportunity to make amends on Monday in the second match of the series in Indore.
