[Produced Branden BeatBoy]
[Verse 1]
She was more beautiful than anything I've ever seen
Was the dream I had longed for, for many years
How it broke my heart to see her shed a tear
But she deserved it
I wasn't perfect naw I never been
So tell me why the hell was you expecting that?
Bitchin and complaining seems to me like you perfected that
If I would've knew I would have never got so damn attached
Found out that she loves me not
Now I'm in this Cadillac
Please don't panic pretty lady
I won't do no stupid shit
Just wanna be the one you love
One you hug
One you kiss
It's funny cuzz; ever since you left I even miss the shit you used to do to piss me off
They say an un-tampered love is lost
So I'm not downing you
Really though, I'm happy that you found a dude
But anyway
Is the rope a little tight?
It seems as if your wrist are bleeding
And I hope the tape around your lips doesn't constrict your breathing
Not much room, but the trunks filled actually
That's why I got you in the back seat, love taxi
That's why I got you in the back seat
Don't you know I love you so
So tell me why you wanna go
Don't leave me
The screaming stopped, blood pouring from the razor slitting
But why the frown, you should be…
[Verse 2]
Sitting here, loathing in this ambiance
Staring at a shrine of miscellaneous body parts
I think of how we got of to such a sloppy start
And which seems worse, a slit throat
Or a tarnished heart
I guess I got the raw end of the deal
Because this pain'll last forever, yours ended in shrills
Now my life's a nightmare, but it seems so real
Our love was full force, yet you chose to yield
So we crash, face first, blood on the dash
I guess the best lesson in life, is nothing will last
Fast forward to this fucked up position I'm in
Contemplating why to live when I'm living in sin
But shit, niggas like me wasn't meant to go to heaven
We was meant to be alone, die hanging from a ceiling
Try praying for forgiveness, but God told me to shut up
Track 13 and finale to Shyne Coldchain Vol. 1.
Vince is talking about a girl he can't quite get over and regretting killing her at then end.

2+2 Program Leads to a BA Degree
Green River's 2 + 2 Program leads to a BA Degree.
Most international students come to Green River College with plans to transfer to a four year university within the United States. They take their first two years of general education requirements at Green River and then transfer those credits to a four year university. Educational Advisors assist students in choosing a major, selecting appropriate classes and finding a university to complete their bachelor's degree.
Students do not want to waste valuable time and money taking classes that will not transfer to their four year university of choice. That is why Green River's advisors work hard alongside students to research classes in a customized degree planning process. The process allows students to reliably transfer their coursework to a four year university of their choice. GRCC advisors have taken time to meet personally with admissions staff at universities across the country in order to become experts who can maximize students' transfer admission success prospects.
According to Ross Jennings, VP of International Programs, "There are many universities and majors so we are focusing on the most popular for our students. Many of our students transfer to Indiana University, the University of Washington, the University of Southern California, the University of California at Santa Barbara and Cornell University. This year over 100 universities will visit Green River to recruit our international students. The most popular majors are engineering, business and computer science.
Our goal is that when a student walks into an advisor's office and says, "I want to transfer to Indiana University and I want to major in Business," their advisor can print off a sheet which tells the student exactly what transferable classes they need to complete at GRCC before they transfer.

Preparation is Key
If you're considering selling your home, it's important to do your homework. You'll want to do the right preparation in order to obtain your goal of selling your home for the best price, even in a market that favors sellers. Buyers tend to prefer homes with curb appeal that do not require a lot of work after purchase. Often, for only a small investment, a homeowner can spruce their home up with paint, carpet, and possibly professional home staging, depending on the condition of your home and furnishings. Start by finding an agent you can trust to work with to arrive at the right price.

Proof of DNA-tethering
Two video presents good DNA-tethers in H2O and D2O. For some reason D2O tethers look little better. Each moving bead has a ds-DNA tether which is roughly 1500nm long (4.4kb; 110ng/ml; 02/11/11). The bead size is 530nm diameter. This sample is prepared in water and heavy water for DNA-overstretching experiments which i will discuss below.

BRONSON - Levy County spent $1.5 million on its new 800-megahertz radio system, and County Commission Chairman Sammy Yearty told firefighters not to ask for more radios.
Chiefland Fire Chief John Ward approached the County Commission with a few requests for improving firefighters' communications at a special meeting March 25. The county agreed to improve towers for paging, and to seek a grant for improving a tower to help radio service.

Few vehicles are as symbolic of a country the way a Bristol is for Britain. The iconic double-decker buses scream of the "British invasion" of legendary bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones because of the buses' popularity around England during the 1960s.
The reliability of the Bristol FLF Lodekka Bus, however, also made it popular around the world. The name Bristol comes from the Bristol Commercial Vehicles manufacturer. The FLF stands for Flat-floor, Long, Forward entrance. Lodekka, by the way, sounds like "low decker," which describes the design. Clever Brits.
The Lodekka was an innovation of its day, taking the basic double-decker design from passenger rail cars that are still in use. While two-floor buses had been used at the turn of the 20th century, Lodekka crafted technically sophisticated buses that offered more comfort and head room than other models by keeping the running gears lower to the chassis, which created space for passengers. The bus had 38 seats on the upper deck and 32 seats on the lower deck.
The Lodekka was never sold to the public and sold only to transit companies around the world, but their popularity has led to many either still in use around the world or in collections after they are "retired from service."
The bus in the LeMay collection was built in October 1965, specifically for Western National Omnibus Co. that served between Cheltenham and Penzance in Southwest England. It was then sold in 1978 and exported to Mobile, Ala. before being brought to Tacoma by the late Harold LeMay. His widow donated the bus to the namesake museum in 2005.

NEW HAVEN- Today, at ribbon cutting ceremony in the Fair Haven neighborhood, Mayor John DeStefano Jr., and representatives from Housing and Urban and Development, the Department of Economic and Community Development, and Neighborworks announced the completion of the last two (2) properties using Federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds allocated by the Housing Economic Recovery Act 2008 (HERA).
The properties are the last two (2) properties of the fifteen (15) properties that have been completed using the city�s Neighborhood Stabilization Program funding as implemented by the Livable City Initiative. The NSP program has successfully completed rehabilitation on fourteen (14) of the properties totaling twenty three (23) units of which two (2) properties are now rental properties for supportive housing, three (3) properties sold to eligible buyers, five (5) properties are under contract and pending sale, four (4) properties are available for purchase (35 Stevens Street, 57-59 Truman Street, 5 Stevens Street, and 166 Saltonstall Avenue) and one (1) structurally unsafe property was demolished and sold to a neighborhood organization for parking.
The Livable City Initiative (LCI) through its partnership with the Economic Development Corporation of New Haven (EDC) purchased 194 Dover Street for $34,700. This property was the only foreclosed property on the street at the time of purchase. However, several months later 212 Dover Street fell victim to foreclosure and the National Stabilization Trust offered the premises for purchase which the City through its partner,
EDC purchased the property for $75,000. NeighborWorks New Horizons was selected
through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process to purchase and rehabilitate both properties for working families.
NeighborWorks purchased 194 Dover Street in April, 2010 for $39,675. The property has been rehabilitated and is currently under a purchase and sale agreement for $129,000.00. 212 Dover Street was purchased on June 9, 2010 for $85,040 and upon completion of rehabilitation entered into a purchase and sale agreement for $147,673. These properties were rehabilitated using Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds along with private construction financing from the Greater New Haven Community Loan Fund.
�Dover Street is an example of success under the NSP program as it has stabilized the street and put back into service homes for working families of New Haven� stated Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. �
It is appropriate to come back to 194 Dover Street because this is where the Mayor announced the launch of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, in April 2009 which followed upon the creation of the ROOF Program (Real Opportunities Overcoming Foreclosure) in the Fall 2007. The ROOF project was an initiative launched by the City and involved LCI and community partners at the Greater New Haven Loan Fund, Neighborhood Housing Services and the Yale Law Clinic working in partnership to prevent or mitigate the effects of foreclosure on families and neighborhoods.
The City was awarded a $3.2M allocation from the State of Connecticut, Department of Economic and Community (DECD) who administered NSP I funding on behalf of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) The City of New Haven turned its NSP I allocation from a $3.2 million program into a $5.8 million program with $1.4 million in private construction financing secured by the Greater New Haven Community Loan Fund, $865,000 from NSP I Program Income, and $350,000 from the City of New Haven�s HOME allocation. All funding is 100% obligated to acquire and rehabilitate vacant foreclosed properties.
Based on the success of New Haven�s efforts, HUD and DECD has notified the City that it has been awarded $1.6 million in Neighborhood Stabilization (NSP) III funds under the Dodd-Frank Act to be used in the same manner as NSP I.
The number one priority of the City of New Haven is to keep homeowners in their homes. The best foreclosure prevention is to work to the address the issue prior to a foreclosure action taking place. That is why it remains important for homeowners to reach out for help. Foreclosure prevention programs are ever changing and that is why ROOF remains ready to assist homeowners please see . www.theroofproject.org or call (203) 789-8690.

He's the quintessential English secret agent with an upper lip as stiff as the Martinis he drinks - yet the latest James Bond movie owes just a little to Australia's Hugh Jackman.
Released in Australia this month, Skyfall sees Daniel Craig return for the third time as James Bond and is directed by Sam Mendes, best known for complex emotional dramas such as Revolutionary Road and American Beauty.
It was at an A-list party at Jackman's New York pad where a slightly inebriated Craig met up with his old pal Mendes and offered him the job of directing the film – a job offer he was not authorised to make.
"He's a James Bond fan and I wanted to pick his brains about James Bond," Craig said.
"I knew I wanted to bring back some of the classic style ... the look and the feel and the atmosphere of the Bond movies.
"We talked and talked and talked and talked about it, and I suddenly totally instinctually went, 'Why don't you do it?'
"I totally overstepped my job description, I'm not supposed to do that."
Fortunately Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson also thought Mendes would be ideal for the job, and thus it was sealed.
The timing was right for Mendes too.
"I wanted to come back to England ... I wanted to work on a big scale again ... and I wanted to work with some friends. And I wanted a big challenge. I wanted to be pushed to do things that I'd never done before," he said.
Bond, too, is pushed to his limits in Skyfall, emerging after the terrifying drama of the opening sequence as a washed-out wreck with an alcohol and substance abuse problem, a shadow of the man he used to be.
"I always loved the idea that Bond would die, that he'd disappear and then he'd come back, thinking 'I'm going to save the day' and everything's changed. That was always the template for me," says Mendes.
As a director known for character-driven drama, Mendes was also keen to ensure that audiences didn't come to see the film just for the James Bond name, but because of the storyline and characters, the fact that Bond goes a journey - both physically and emotionally - he's never been on before.
"For me the touchstones were: would I like it? Is this what I want to see in a Bond movie?" he says. "Would my 13-year-old self like this movie? Would my eight-year-old son like it? Would he be held by the story?"
Thus Mendes was keen to introduce offbeat elements such as a pit full of menacing komodo dragons, as well as a truly gripping sequence filmed in the glass skyscrapers of Shanghai at night, where Bond clings to the bottom of a lift as he chases a villain to the top of a building.
As is fitting in the 50th year of the franchise, Skyfall pays homage to the Bond films of yesteryear, while maintaining a thoroughly contemporary feel.
Diehard fans will be delighted to see the return of the iconic Aston Martin DB5, shown to full advantage as Bond drives M around the sweeping landscapes of wild Scotland, yet many will be disappointed at the lack of gadgets, once so integral to the script.
As a startlingly youthful Q (Ben Whishaw) tells Bond: "We don't go in for gadgets any more."
Co-producer Michael Wilson says technology has become so advanced, most people's mobile phones are as sophisticated as the most advanced computers were less than 20 years ago, making the inclusion of gadgets seem redundant.
"[But] there's still a lot of technology in the films, the cyber-warfare theme of the film is the highest of technologies," he says.
Bond himself, however, remains a spy of the old school, and the clash of the old and the new, represented by techno whiz-kid Q, is a prominent theme of the film.
"Espionage today is more about spying from a distance, spy satellites, drones, keeping away from the enemy," says Craig.
"[Bond] wants to get into the field and he wants to look people in the eye and he wants to figure it out and find out that information himself. I think that clash of worlds is what's so interesting."
Skyfall opens in Australia on November 22.

Utah school takes lunches from indebted kids
(NEWSER) – Parents in Utah say they're outraged after up to 40 elementary school students at a Salt Lake City school had their school lunches thrown out because of outstanding balances on their account. The Salt Lake Tribune reports the move came Tuesday after the Salt Lake City District realized a lot of students in Uintah Elementary owed money for lunches. The school tried to contact the indebted parents by phone Monday and Tuesday before resorting to confiscating lunches, a district spokesperson said. "If students were humiliated and upset, that's very unfortunate and not what we wanted," he added.

William Kennedy on 'Chango's Beads and Two-Tone Shoes'By Elisabeth Donnelly
Revolutionary times fuel William Kennedy's newest book, Chango's Beads and Two-Tone Shoes, which follows the career of journalist Daniel Quinn. The novel's first half takes place in 1957 Cuba, where Quinn gets writing advice from Ernest Hemingway ("Shun adverbs, strenuously"), falls in love with a gunrunner named Renata, and hikes through the jungle for the ultimate journalist's prize—an interview with Fidel Castro. The second half finds Quinn, eleven years later, witnessing another kind of revolution, this one in his hometown of Albany after Bobby Kennedy's assassination, as the city hovers on the verge of race riots. The eighth novel in Kennedy's Albany Cycle—which includes the Pulitzer Prize–winning Ironweed—Chango's Beads has a cast of characters that will feel familiar to readers of the earlier books, characters united by jazz, corruption, heroics, journalism, politics, and the perpetual revolution of history. I talked with the eighty-three-year-old Kennedy at his home in Albany—a townhouse where Jack Diamond, gangster, bootlegger, and the subject of Kennedy's second novel, Legs, was shot to death.

'The Arsenio Hall Show' canceled after one season
"The Arsenio Hall Show" has been canceled.
After just one season, the late-night talk show will not return and CBS blames tanking ratings that have reportedly fallen from 1.9 million viewers to 700,000.
"While there are many loyal fans of the show, the series did not grow its audience enough to continue," a CBSTD spokesperson said. "Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we'd like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show. We'd also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show."
Arsenio Hall spoke out about the news as well.
"When I started this adventure with CTD and Tribune, we all knew it would be a challenge – I'm gratified for the year we've had and proud of the show we created," he said.
"I'd like to thank everyone on my staff for rallying around me and striving to make the best show possible every night."

text: I got this club several months ago and so far it has been a pretty good investment. I did not have a wood that I hit well so I got this from a friend. The ball soars if you hit it well but there is the occasional duff or mishit. However, at a cheap price this is a pretty good club.

Did you know?
'Kwa muhle' means 'the place of the good one' in isiZulu.
The KwaMuhle Museum in Durban has the unenviable reputation as once being one of the most hated buildings in the city when it was the former Department of Native Affairs, an authoritative body responsible for enforcing punitive apartheid legislation.
Ironically, today it provides a home for the historical records of the many different cultural groups whose contributions shaped Durban into the colourful and vibrant city that we know today – in spite of restrictions imposed by apartheid.
On entering the double-storey union-style building, travellers are immediately captivated by a diverse collection of interesting and thought-provoking records of apartheid legislation and the monochrome images depicting attempts by various groups to oppose its rigid rules and regulations.
Video and photographic displays complement historical exhibits to provide visitors with a holistic appreciation of early Durban and her spirited pioneers.
The KwaMuhle Museum in Durban takes its name from its first manager, JS Marwick, who helped 7 000 Zulus leave the Transvaal (now Gauteng) during the South African War (also known as the Anglo-Boer War). An excerpt from the museum's founding credo reads: 'This is a museum about power and powerlessness and the struggle for human dignity by ordinary people'.
Durban's KwaMuhle Museum is a monument to the city's troubled past, acknowledging past injustices and abuses but also affirming the contribution of the majority of the population to the development of Durban. It is one of four sites that make up Durban's Local History Museums – the others being the Old Court House Museum, Old House Museum and The Port Natal Maritime Museum.
The building was designed in 1927 by town architect William Murray-Jones and built in 1928. The KwaMuhle Museum's exhibits are immensely valuable to learners, students, historians, social scientists, tourists and the general public.
'The Durban System', which is on permanent display, accurately documents aspects of African city life at the time and along with a range of temporary displays, is very popular with visitors.

Gabrielle Union wishes her boo Dwyane Wade a Happy Birthday
Dwyane Wade has had a busy past few months!
He's been to the White House, gotten engaged, and fessed up publicly to a new baby boy, but through it all his wifey-to-be Gabrielle Union has celebrated him. And today on his 32nd birthday it's no different.
The Being Mary Jane actress took to Instagram to show her love for her man, though we're sure she's showing him way more love in person, wink wink!

The Berger Hunting bullet line features Very Low Drag (VLD) bullets that have the highest possible ballistic coefficient designed for 300 yards or more. The VLD design incorporates a sharp nose that allows the bullet to penetrate 2" to 3" before it starts to expand. After the initial expansion, the bullet will shed between 40% and 85% of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue (internal organs).
The combination between the shrapnel and the hydrostatic shock produces a massive wound cavity within the vital area that will be 13" - 15" long. This massive wound cavity results in the animal dropping fast since most go into shock after such a tremendous blow.

Clayart Dead?

Does this forum replace clayart? The clayart server seems to be down, and I have not received any posts for days. Has it been killed?
Thank you.
This forum is completely separate from Clayart, which is alive and well---but it is in the middle of renewing licensing status, so hold tight and it will be back soon.
Posted 31 March 2010 - 11:27 AM
This seems like it might be an even better forum for exchange of information, since it seems we can attach photos and videos to these posts, and I like how the posts can be arranged in categories. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out.

Hopefully this forum will remain a learning forum and not go the way of Clayart with a lot of philosophical discussion, opinion and political commentary to weed through.
Yes! Amen! I gave up on Clayart long, long ago for that reason.
Posted 02 April 2010 - 04:55 PM
If this is an issue, it is not so hard to open another topic category, another board I use has both a Politic section and a Water Cooler section.
When people post topics not pertaining to the subject at hand, the posts get moved.
This forum is really exciting. I already know to look seriously at the L&L kilns!
Remind me why I'm doing this????

That transformation often takes place in the form of a rebirth... a dying of the old group as a new, different group is formed out of it. The focus changes (philosophical discussion of art and pottery is forbidden, as with PotteryBasics on YahooGroups) and/or the old guard hang on to the old group as it loses participants to the new group.
Very often, it is the "old guard" that is the problem. (And I say that having *been* part of the old guard on a mailing list that I closed after 12 years.) They've been there, done that, they're tired of seeing the same basic questions come up over and over. They've run out of things practical things to talk about and turn to philosophy and criticism... and often that criticism is aimed at the newcomers to the list.
(And I'm not talking specifically about clayart... I've seen this many times in many groups. My wife and I have actually considered writing a book about managing online communities. There aren't many people who have been doing it for 24 years.)

Hopefully this forum will remain a learning forum and not go the way of Clayart with a lot of philosophical discussion, opinion and political commentary to weed through.
In my opinion, active philosophical discussion, listening to and digesting the content of others opinions on a subject, and even understanding varying political pursuasions and how they might impact perceptions IS a "learning environment".
Ceramics is about so much more than just which kiln to buy, how to fix pinholes, how to increase sales at craft fairs, and so on. The aesthetic and philospohical to me are totally "fair game" relative to ceramics.
Chris is onto the core issue.... civility.

For example, recently on clayart there was a days-long philosophical exchange about whether it's appropriate to tell racist jokes on the listerv. It was very mean-spirited. I hope this forum maintains more common sense than that.

Carl (and anyone else who's interested),
Just an FYI, you can choose "Watch Forum" (top right of the landing page for each forum), and choose to get a digest emailed to you each day. You can do this with individual topics too.

For example, recently on clayart there was a days-long philosophical exchange about whether it's appropriate to tell racist jokes on the listerv. It was very mean-spirited.
Here's a good example that Clayart, for all the good that is does, is outmoded.
It's 2010, not 1950. I find that a "discussion," of whether racist jokes should be allowed on a ceramics listserv, astounding. It is a CERAMICS discussion, for crying out loud! What possible use could devisive jokes serve to a ceramics group? It's unnecessary, in my opinion, and should not even be allowed, much less discussed. There are a million other platforms for that kind of thing on the 'net, should you be so inclined.
I'm just guessing, but I think racism is OUT in 2010. I should be quite suprised to find that kind of thing on this forum; I think the way forward is clear.

Civility is key.
Posted 31 July 2010 - 10:55 AM
I have been a subscriber to ClayCraft at google groups to, moderated by Lee Love. If you are into Leach, Hamada, Cardew, Yanagi, Kawaii, MacKenzie, Byron Temple, or other "MINGEI" or "crafts revival" artists I recommend subscribing. It is also centered around wood fire. Google groups are dependent on browser and web access
I was active in the IRC #pottery channel at StarLink, but the group went quiet and the host server is experiencing downtime, even though the software is intact. This is Mishy Katz group. It was great to get this since it is not on the www
There are about 6,000 potters worldwide on FaceBook, and master Shigaraki potter Shiho Kanzaki heads up the list with almost 5,000 potter and other friends, and posts daily. We are deeply honored to have such leadership. The list of potter names on FaceBook is as of right now, the Who's-Who of international potters connected online. However, it is probably the most web dependent, and the downside is that there is no email access to other members
rec.crafts.pottery I haven't checked on in years, it used to be a great place to use for free advertising purposes. Also independent of the web.
There is probably also a smattering of other groups, a cone 6 group, and a few wood-fire groups, I don't know about all of them, and a few other forums similar to this one. This is the one ACerS is promoting, however, and is the most connected to ACerS publications, which are indispensable if you are a potter in the USA.
I generally use all the resources, it has been possible for me to contribute more here than elsewhere.
h a n s e n
I like this forum, but still follow Clayart when time permits. Sometimes I leave Clayart for months. I don't like the prolonged arguments, running commentary, and grand standing. Way back when it was fun to be able to have a morning coffee and answer questions or gleen info from the group. After 15 years of the same old questions and same wild hairs, it is best to move on. This forum reminds me of what clayart was like 15 years ago. Plus, using the topics and then subject lines, it is easy to focus.
Civility is key.

The number of higher education ceramics faculty has always been lacking. This is probably due to time constraints, but it gives clayart subscribers the illusion that they are are the center of the ceramics world when in fact they are peripheral.
Personally, I don't think it has always been lacking. Depends on how far back you go.
As a long term college professor, I used to be very involved with posting on CLAYART (look in the archives ). And many others from academia used to be on CLAYART actively also. CLAYART started via the academic community. In fact, I was involved in some of the first micro-computer utilization in studio applications and in college teaching (http://www.johnbaymo...CAcomputer.html ). If you read that article quoted there which I wrote for the 84 Boston NCECA journal, you'll notice the comments I made about creating an online potter's information center, which I also made even more strongly in the live panel presentation ("Computers In The Studio").
Those early ideas eventually evolved into CeramicsWeb and CLAYART. Richard Burkett announced the formation of the CLAYART listserve format in an email on August 17, 1992. There were tons of "academics" on there in the early days.
Lately I simply subscribe to the CLAYART list and glance at the daily digests when I can to see if something interests me. Occasionally, I still get the temptation to answer something, but then I come to my senses .
As to the "why" of why I am no longer posting there ........... difficult to be frank on this:
When one posts a simple answer to a simple question on CLAYART, you will then get 6,000,000,000,000 other people posting their personal opinions as to exactly why the answer given is not PRECISELY correct to the nth degree and maybe omitted this certain minor aspect that happens in one-in-a-million cases. At least 3,000,000,000,000 of the people commenting on this have probably been doing clay work for one or two years as an avocation and have taken three classes at a community education center. So in too many cases, the persons doing all this commenting do not have the background or facts to say what they are saying. Worse, they seem to lack the common sense to realize this fact.
So what happens is that eventually you end up spending hours and hours and hours over days and days and days trying to steer the discussion back on track and justify your previous answer. What was a simple "case specific" answer that you wanted to give to be sincerely helpful to a single person turns into a "project".
And the correct answers to 90% of the questions showing up on CLAYART are:
1. ) Get even a basic book on ceramics and read it.
2.) Enroll in some ceramics classes.
3.) Ask your teacher.
4.) Test that and you can answer it yourself.
5.) When you have put in the years of study and hard work, you will easily understand this. An email answer is not the best solution for you educationally.
So a vast amount of the daily traffic there that you end up wading through could be eliminated if people just used the appropriate and necessary resources to study the material, and not want the "instant answers.....just add water".
Still worse, when someone spends hour after hour giving of themselves on that difficult and contentious venue, you get little to no "thanks" messages from the people benefiting from the free information. Just more and more questions.
The problem is not CLAYART, per se, it is the fact that too many people who really do not know what they are talking about tend to shout the loudest these days. And also that humbleness and civility and respect are kinda' dead in the age of Ren and Stimpy and South Park. The same danger that affects CLAYART certainly lurks in every online community.
CLAYART was and and likely still is a great resource. You unfortunately have to take it for what it is. And have the smarts to sort out the good people with solid information from the vast amount of "chaff".
Rant off...........

The UVM Libraries have been collecting maple resources for many years, creating an outstanding collection for the study of Vermont's signature maple industry. This spring, all the display cases in Bailey/Howe Library feature maple exhibits based on materials selected from the Wilbur Collection of Vermontiana, the Maple History Collection, and the collections of UVM's Proctor Maple Research Center.
"It's Always Maple Time in Vermont" in the lobby the uses photographs, paintings, prints, business records, advertisements and artifacts to show how the essential process of evaporating and concentrating sap through boiling has been modified as a result of innovation and research. The display also includes images of sugaring-off parties and examples of maple-themed poetry, prose, and even country music.
"Sweet and Savory: Cooking with Maple," also located in the lobby, documents the richly varied and creative dishes that home cooks and professional chefs make with maple. Drawing from over 100 years of cookbooks, the exhibit showcases dishes that are well-loved and familiar, such as Maple Bars, as well as those that are unusual and intriguing, such as Black-Peppered Maple Cream Pie.
The exhibit cases in Special Collections feature women who made outstanding contributions to Vermont maple business and research, including the enterprising ladies of Maple Grove Candies, author and sugarmaker Helen Nearing, and UVM scientist Mariafranca Morselli.
The exhibits are located in the Bailey/Howe Library Lobby and in Special Collections. They will be on display through June 2010.

None of us like to throw away a half-opened bottle of wine. With the Vacu Vin Wine Saver, you can open a bottle and savour it on another occasion. Perfect for wine tastings, cooks who only need a splash or big parties where leftover bottles are abandoned in large quantities.
The Vacu-Vin Wine Saver is a vacuum pump, which extracts air from the opened bottle and re-seals it with a re-usable rubber stopper. Simply place the re-usable stopper in the bottle and extract the air from the bottle using the Wine Saver pump. A "clik" sound tells you when you have reached the optimum vacuum level, leaving the question "how long do I have to pump for?" a thing of the past. The vacuum slows down the oxidation process, keeping wine fresh so that you can enjoy it again at a later date.
The best vacuum wine saver around, but don't take our word for it - apparently the original Vacu Vin Wine Saver is now used by over 25 million drinkers around the world!
Each Vacu Vin Wine Saver is accompanied by two re-usable rubber stoppers. Additional rubber stoppers are available from our shop for separate purchase.
Product information:
- The pump is not dishwasher safe, however the stoppers are
- Not suitable for sparkling wines

Pimp My Artwork 024: Art & The Shadow Side
A few nights ago I sat on a bench in Battery Park with my favorite Russian Gypsy. As we watched the water from the illuminated seats we talked of our similarities, the tarot, and understanding the shadow side.
Oh the shadow side. The eclipse heightened it a few weeks ago and Saturn in Libra has merely switched it from inner turmoil and psyche to relationship lessons. Our shadow sides bring up fears and insecurities, it makes us want to blame others for our misfortunes or mistakes. It takes over when we're lonely, and guilt trips us into depressions. This may sound like a terrible place to be but it's just another place we must explore on our own paths.
I recently wrote an article on being naked, as in exposed, as a writer, an artist, and a model. In order for us to truly see who we are as creatives and individuals we must travel through our darker realms of subconcious. When I was writing Blood and Pudding I knew it would be painful but I also knew by writing it and putting it out there that I would be able to move on.
I had an lover once that used to make me crack up. We were both light happy people yet both of us created very dark things. For him it was music, and for me it was art. I have some heavy pieces sitting in my house right now. Most of the people who have seen them know me as a happy individual and simply say, "that's looking pretty good. Seems you have a bandage fetish as of late." And I laugh because it's true.
The shadow self is how we deal with negativity and unwanted thoughts. For me, it's through creative means. Because I paint and write heavily it allows me to be lighter emotionally. It doesn't mean I don't have my bad days. I'm a worrier, my moon is in Capricorn you see, but my shadow side works best when I let it have it's own space.
So while these planetary shifts take place, Mercury is in Virgo and Neptune is in Aquarius, take the time to meditate, acknowledge, and let go anything that is holding you down or back. Below are a few images of my shadow side in physical form.
During a recent wonderfully crazy drunken interview with Chelsea Summers, she noticed a small letter "B" necklace around my neck.
"What's that?" She asked.
"Yeah, it's for Brian." And I thought to myself, there's some shadows that are harder to let go than others. But it reminds me that I loved once, and I loved so much that I was willing to do anything for that person. And it tells me that one day I will love like that again.
Chelsea snapped this picture of me outside while we were drinking wine. That is my serious tipsy face.

2005.25: Symmetric Linearizations for Matrix Polynomials

A standard way of treating the polynomial eigenvalue problem $P(\l)x = 0$ is to convert it into an equivalent matrix pencil---a process known as linearization. Two vector spaces of pencils $\Ell_1(P)$ and $\Ell_2(P)$, and their intersection $\DL(P)$, have recently been defined and studied by Mackey, Mackey, Mehl, and Mehrmann. The aim of our work is to gain new insight into these spaces and the extent to which their constituent pencils inherit structure from $P$\@. For arbitrary polynomials we show that every pencil in $\DL(P)$ is block symmetric and we obtain a convenient basis for $\DL(P)$ built from block Hankel matrices. This basis is then exploited to prove that the first $\deg(P)$ pencils in a sequence constructed by Lancaster in the 1960s generate $\DL(P)$. When $P$ is symmetric, we show that the symmetric pencils in $\Ell_1(P)$ comprise $\DL(P)$, while for Hermitian $P$ the Hermitian pencils in $\Ell_1(P)$ form a proper subset of $\DL(P)$ that we explicitly characterize. Almost all pencils in each of these subsets are shown to be linearizations. In addition to obtaining new results, this work provides a self-contained treatment of some of the key properties of $\DL(P)$ together with some new, more concise proofs.

Tampa, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Jason Spezza scored the lone goal in the shootout as the Ottawa Senators defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-3, on Monday.
Spezza, Ottawa's second shooter, entered the zone and moved the puck back and forth several times before releasing a wrister that fooled Lightning netminder Ben Bishop and found twine in the top right corner.
"I don't think I am reinventing the wheel. I just slowed down and made a couple of stickhandles and waited for the right time to shoot it," said Spezza on his move in the shootout.
Erik Karlsson, Kyle Turris, and Spezza all scored for Ottawa in regulation, while Robin Lehner made 35 saves and stopped all three shooters in the shootout to snap a six-game skid.
Nikita Kucherov, Victor Hedman, and Steven Stamkos all tallied goals for the Lightning, who picked up a point in the standings for the ninth straight game, winning five of those games.
Bishop stopped 29-of-32 shots in defeat.
Karlsson started the scoring after he ripped a shot over the shoulder of Bishop to give the Senators a 1-0 lead nearly four minutes into the game. Ottawa's lead lasted less than two minutes as Kucherov's wrist shot from the slot knotted the game at one.
After Karlsson's blast from the point was turned aside, Milan Michalek gathered the puck and dished it into the slot. The puck bounced over to Spezza, who lifted it over a sprawled Bishop and Ottawa regained the lead 8:12 into the middle frame.
The Sens increased their lead 44 seconds later. Mark Stone worked the puck behind the net and sent a pass to Turris, who deked back and forth in front of Bishop and slipped the puck past the Lightning netminder.
The Lightning scored a well-timed power-play goal to get within one after Michalek went off for tripping. Ryan Callahan set a screen in front of Lehner and Hedman's blast from the point made it a 3-2 contest with 6:34 left in the second.
The Lightning tied the game 5:44 into the third. Ondrej Palat's shot rang off the post and Stamkos swatted it out of the air. The referee immediately waved off the goal, but a review deemed that Stamkos' stick was below the cross bar.
"The power play saved us tonight," said Lightning coach Jon Cooper. "Getting that second power play goal was huge."
Karlsson went off for tripping Palat with 3.7 seconds left in regulation to give the Lightning a power play heading into the extra session. The Lightning had several chances, including a few quality shots from Stamkos, but could not convert.
Game Notes
Stamkos played in his 400th NHL game ... Karlsson extended his point streak to seven games and now has goals in four straight against the Lightning ... Valtteri Filppula's career-best point streak reached nine games with an assist on Hedman's goal ... Palat supplied two assists and has 14 points in his last nine games.

METAIRIE — The resurgent New Orleans Saints have displayed textbook passive-aggressive behavior on defense this season, bowing up inside the red zone while readily yielding yards between the 20s.
But if interim coach Joe Vitt and first-year defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo can spur their defense to play more like Tarzan and less like Jane in the middle of the field for the last six games, a berth in the "Second Season'' might become reality.
It's imperative that the Saints' defense doesn't monkey around Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome because multiple slip-ups could prove costly against the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers (7-2-1).
Kickoff is 3:25 p.m.
"Early on, it had nothing to do with the system, guys were just making mistakes on defense,'' Saints middle linebacker Curtis Lofton said of the team's 0-4 start. "Guys are still making mistakes, but we're making up for those mistakes by playing faster. We're playing instinctively. We're reacting more and doing less thinking.
"That's how we've been playing these last few games. We're still giving up yards, but our saving grace is we're playing great in the red zone, we're playing better on third down, and we're getting turnovers.''
A good example of Lofton's three-point stance came Sunday in Oakland, where the Saints (5-5) dominated, winning 38-17 to reach the .500 mark for the first time.
The Raiders amassed 404 yards, but 119 came in the fourth quarter after the outcome had been decided. The Saints finished plus-2 in turnover differential, scoring on free safety Malcolm Jenkins' 55-yard interception return. And the Raiders converted only four of 12 third-down plays, only twice in the final three quarters.
Granted, the Raiders are one of the NFL's bottom-feeders at 3-7. But New Orleans' wall-to-wall performance lends credence that the players are becoming acclimated to Spagnuolo's scheme despite what the stats suggest through 10 games.
Yes, the Saints remain last in total yards allowed per game (462.8) and 27th in points allowed (27.3).
But other key stats show signs of respectability: third-down efficiency (19th in the NFL, 38.8 percent), turnover differential (+2, 12th in the NFL) and goal-to-go defense (inside the 10-yard line), where the Saints rank ninth.
Of 27 goal-to-goal situations, New Orleans has allowed 16 touchdowns (59.3 percent), including all three times in a 34-14 loss at Denver in Game 7.
"We got kicked in the face by the Broncos, but those things happen in this league,'' strong safety Roman Harper said.
But in other games, the Saints have stood their ground:
- In Game 6, the Saints turned back Tampa Bay on downs from first-and-goal at the 2, fueled in part by Jenkins' touchdown-saving tackle of Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson.
- In Game 8, the Philadelphia Eagles had four goal-to-go possessions and were limited to two field goals.
- In Game 9, a dramatic goal-line stand in the final two minutes preserved a 31-27 win against the previously undefeated Atlanta Falcons.
- And in Game 10, Harper killed a potential Raiders scoring threat with an end-zone interception, spoiling a first-and-goal from the 1.
All four of those games resulted in Saints victories.
"When it comes to tweaking the defense, there has been some give-and-take on both sides — from the players and Spags,'' Jenkins said. "I think Spags has done a good job of tailoring his defense to the abilities of the guys in this locker room. But, at the same time, he hasn't compromised the fundamentals of his defense.''
"When Spags first got here, he only knew us from what he had seen on film,'' linebacker Jonathan Casillas said. "He didn't know the ins and outs of our game. Now, I think he's got a good feel for that. He's utilizing us and putting us in the right positions to fit his defense.''
That seems to be the case in the red zone, where the Saints have been particularly stout against the run. In Games 1 and 2, Washington and Carolina combined to score five rushing touchdowns inside 6 yards. Since, the opposition has scored only two rushing touchdowns inside the red zone (13 yards and 1 yard) compared to 16 passing touchdowns inside the red zone.
Denver quarterback Peyton Manning started the trend in Game 7, throwing scoring tosses of 1 and 2 yards in goal-to-go situations. Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan threw touchdown passes of 1, 2 and 6 yards, and Oakland quarterback Carson Palmer tossed a 1-yard scoring pass.
"We have the mindset that nobody is going to run the ball on us,'' Lofton said. "To us, it's like somebody is challenging your manhood when they go for it on fourth down.
"If we stop them, it's like getting a turnover. As a defense, we got to get the job done in those situations, no matter what. And it's not always about X's and O's. Sometimes it's about someone running and blowing something up, and that's what we've been doing.''
If the Saints defense can play with that same goal-to-go mentality between the 20s, they might be good to go for the playoffs.
But that's a big if.

PHOENIX - So much for all those fuzzy feelings the Lakers conveyed about their newfound closeness.
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni bristled a day after Pau Gasol expressed frustration over sitting out the fourth quarter of the Lakers' win Tuesday over New Orleans.
"Did he speak up?" D'Antoni asked, facetiously. "I didn't hear it."
Gasol vowed he wouldn't let frustrations surrounding his bench role cloud his effort in helping the Lakers get back into the playoff race in the Western Conference. He sounded more offended about not finishing, though.
"It's something I don't like and don't appreciate," Gasol said. "I'm challenged every day to keep my calm and keep my peace and not let my emotions take over my words."
D'Antoni said he hadn't spoken to Gasol on Wednesday about the issue. But he suggested he better just get used to it if Earl Clark and Antawn Jamison perform better. D'Antoni also remarked how Metta World Peace sat out the fourth quarter too without complaining.
"I guess the `all for one' lasted about 48 hours," D'Antoni said with a chuckle. "Not bad."
Access granted
The Lakers' front office just made a move, but it likely won't result in a player acquisition.
The NBA granted the Lakers on Wednesday a disabled players exception for Jordan Hill worth $1.78 million.
The Lakers can use this exception, which expires March 11, to sign a free agent for up to one season or acquire a player making up to $1.88 million through a trade. The Lakers don't plan to use it. They're already spending $100 million in player payroll and $30 million in luxury taxes.
But the move gives the Lakers added flexibility. They also have a mid-level exception worth $1.59 million and three trade exceptions ($1.4 million, $1.2 million, $544,000).
Hill had surgery Jan. 23 on his left hip and won't return in at least six months. The Lakers currently have a 14-player roster, one shy of the league maximum.
Offseason work
For all the relief surrounding his return to the court for the first time in two months, Lakers backup guard Steve Blake conceded he might have a busy offseason to treat his injured groin.
"If the pain doesn't go away, it's something I might end up having to have surgery again," Blake said. "We'll figure that out when we get there. Hopefully it will heal itself."
Blake missed 37 games because of a lower abdominal strain that eventually required surgery and an injured groin.

Hey guys, a friend of mine is coming in town in a week and wants to surf with me...but I only have one wetsuit. I'm in the Wilmington area and I can't find anywhere to rent a suit. Any ideas of where I can find one? Thanks. :confused:

Hey guys, a friend of mine is coming in town in a week and wants to surf with me...but I only have one wetsuit. I'm in the Wilmington area and I can't find anywhere to rent a suit. Any ideas of where I can find one? Thanks. :confused:
i am currently surfing in a short spring suit....the water is over 60 degrees. you can buy one for a little more than you can rent one and will have it for future use. the prices are good now due to the fact the window of having to have one is closing further every day!
i would wear a full suit
and im still wearin booties too.
I bet no one will be wearing booties after today. I think the temp outdoors will be in the 70's for the rest of the week and the water temp is already 61.
Makey- Check out the scuba diving shops, i rented one from there years ago. Chances are you'll end up with a 'vintage' neon one, but hey- its better than freezing you ass off....
there's always a wimp or two out there wearing full winter gear in 60 degree water. i don't understand why someone would wear more rubber when it's not really necessary. the less rubber the better if you ask me, i hate having to move extra weight when paddling.
generally, i surf fullsuit with boots in 50-57 degree water, just fullsuit in 58-65, halfsuit in 66-75, and just boardshorts in 75+. :cool:
that sounds like me too, ridehigh!! No booties or gloves needed now.
the water is 61-62 degrees and its going to feel great on Wed and Thurs. (throughout the weekend i think. The only reason i will be wearing my fullsuit tomorrow is because i havent bought a springsuit in about 4 years. Probably stop by village tomorrow or thurs to get one though.
I personally like to be warm. Nice and Warm. Toasty Warm. Really warm.
I do not find my suit nor accessories to be too cumbersome.
As posted before, the dive shops are probably the best bet. And you could probably buy a suit for what you will spend renting one.
Good surf to everyone
Hey guys! Thanks so much for the advice. I've been looking on craigslist and ebay...but someone told me about Sam's Club-They have shorty 3/2 wetsuits for 30 bucks brand new. I got my full suit there last fall and it is awesome. Hope to see you guys out there this weekend-should be really nice! :)
what brand is that from Sams club. Im looking for a new spring suit, id rather go with rip curl, but for 30 bucks, how can you go wrong?

In January, 2007 Armory Studios, LLC announced that it had acquired the San Francisco National Guard Armory and Arsenal located at the corner of 14th and Mission Street.
This 200,000 square foot reproduction Moorish Castle was completed in 1914 and was used as a National Guard facility until 1976. It retains original period details including wainscoting, stone staircases, sweeping corridors, cavernous access to Mission Creek,and a gigantic drill court spanning almost an acre. It served as both a barricade and safety point for officers during rioting in San Francisco in 1934. Though for most of the past 40 years, it has sat vacant, it was used by George Lucas to film the first Star Wars movie.
The Armory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and has been out of official use since this time. Previous conversion plans throughout the years were met with much community resistance for various reasons including gentrification and broader concerns relating to social and environmental impact. Armory Studios, remaining mindful of these concerns, plans to restore and renovate the Armory to its original splendor, style and beauty.
Armory Studios has leased the drill court portion of the Armory building to The Armory Community Center, LLC (TACC) for the purpose of converting the long dormant Drill Court into a thriving community center for business, educational, sporting, religious, family, entertainment and other community uses and events. The conversion process will include modernization of building systems, hazardous materials removal and a structural upgrade to meet modern seismic codes. Additionally, there are plans to open a local neighborhood bar, The Armory Club, directly opposite the Armory in early 2012.

Screw Joyce, she's so yesterday.
such a tramp anyways
She really sucked and looked so good from a distance, so I slung some yogurt in her eye. She got all discombobulated and wandered off in another direction.
I'm with you ,but I'm thinking too myself "you got to be kidding me were going to do this again. the hope as an invest, the excitement as a depression that's he headed for us, the sadness as a tropical storm that's going to miss us, the jealousy as the hurricane hits some one else, and finally the cycle repeats endlessly"
she said it stings..... she got what she deserved for screwing us... lol.

Alamo Gun Rights Rally Goes Off Peacefully
Saturday's 'come and take it' open carry rally at the Alamo went off without any incidents, as many of the gun rights advocates who attended the rally at the Alamo spent most of their time admiring other attendee's guns.
About half of the participants carried rifles slung over their shoulders, most of them carefully marked to demonstrate the weapons were unloaded or could not be fired.
"The folks who say it is in your face, I think there was some validity to their comments," State Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, who spoke at the rally and who granted permission for it to take place at the Alamo, which his office operates, told 1200 WOAI news.
Patterson and others in attendance said they wanted to highlight state law which allows rifles to be carried in public without any permit or training course required.
"A reason for our separation from Mexico," Patterson said of the appropriateness of holding the rally at the Alamo, "That reason was Mexico's attempts to confiscate arms and to restrict our right to arms."
Police Chief William McManus mingled with the crowd and chatted amiably with the participants, even though many said they were at the protest to show their opposition to SAPD policy of stopping people who carry rifles in the city.
They also wanted to show their support for a Ft. Hood master sergeant who was arrested for carrying a long rifle while hiking down a central Texas road with his son.

BMW 840Ci Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the BMW 840Ci based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
4Known Problems
The front thrust rod bushings—also referred to as tension strut bushings—are known to fail occasionally. The oil-filled rubber mounts weaken and crack over time, causing a mushy road feel and shuddering in the steering wheel when going over bumps.
A fluid leak may develop from one or more power steering hose. When a leak is being repaired, it is not uncommon for multiple hoses to be replaced.
Engine oil leaks commonly develop from both valve cover gaskets, intake manifold, and PCV plate after about 60,000 miles.
Leaks are known to develop in the cooling system. It is common to see more than one part recommended for repair/replacement due to overlapping labor and the use of many plastic parts in the system.

But it was not in mere naturalism that chateaubriand was to find his most fertile and most successful theme.
In various parts of chateaubriand's "Memoires" may be found eulogiums on the cat.
Assuredly no one can say that chateaubriand's genius has declined with his advanced years.
chateaubriand, in fact, was a political writer as well as a poet.
Madame de Stal was dead; chateaubriand, though alive, was something of a classic, and had not effected a full revolution.
"I heard 'chateaubriand,' anyway," retorted Judith triumphantly.
chateaubriand cannot be loved, and his character cannot be admired without grave reserves.
chateaubriand, Humboldt, Curier, de Montmorency were among her friends.
Said chateaubriand, "No one has seen anything who has not seen the pomp of Versailles."
chateaubriand saw Washington only once, but it inspired him for life.
"grilled beef steak, garnished with herbs," 1877, named, for some reason, for French writer François René, Vicomte de Chateaubriand (1768-1848).

Family therapy can be beneficial when parents are at odds with their teenager. Because teens are enveloped in a virtual world that widens the gap, a counselor can be a helpful go-between to improve communication. Dr. Staat will work to help parents learn to understand their children while teaching them to set firm limits, delineate boundaries, and enforce appropriate consequences when rules are violated. Dr. Staat has found that most teens respond when parents provide a sturdy wall of expectations that holds strong no matter how fiercely teens push against it. Dr. Staat will provide help & support.

New Student Council President, with New Team, Shares Vision for Coming Year
11 November 2011 • Student Council
Once in leadership positions in the U.S. Army and National Guard, Seminarian James Parnell is transferring those skills to his new position as Student Council President. Elected in May 2011, he heads up a fresh team: 3rd-year representatives Sarah Johnson and Andrew Boyd; 2nd-year representative Anoop Thomas (Treasurer); and 1st-year representatives Nicholas Roth (Secretary) and James Wiegel.
"Going into our second year as a Student Council, we are very excited about the impact it has had on student life," says Seminarian Parnell.
"Upon my election, I stated that our job as members of the Student Council is to serve our fellow seminarians," he continues. "I thank my fellow representatives for their efforts in doing just that from day one in May 2010, when the council was created.
"They've continued to do great things and to ensure that students have an opportunity to voice their concerns and opinions as well as work closer with the staff and faculty than in years prior to the formation of the Student Council," he remarks.
So far this year, members of the council have continued the work of Special Interest Groups, most notably the Environmental Interest Group, which is working with the administration to increase the storage capacity of campus recycling containers; and the Pro-Life Group, which is helping to organize the March for Life in January, as well as provide pastoral counseling training, so that our seminarians may help those whose lives have been affected by abortion.
"My vision for this year," says Seminarian Parnell, "is one of continuing the programs that we've put in place and of increasing the role students play in utilizing their representatives.
"This semester, in particular, has been a time in which the Student Council has been able to foster an open and respectful dialogue on a number of sensitive issues and we are proud to be given this opportunity to serve our seminary community," he notes.
"Finally, I'd like to thank all of the students and faculty who have shared their opinions and concerns with the Student Council," he concludes. "I'd like to thank the Dean, Fr. John Behr, the Chancellor, Fr. Chad Hatfield, and the Dean of Students, Fr. David Mezynski, for their continued support and encouragement. They are always open to dialogue and cooperation with the students, faculty, staff, and all of their families, and that is a great blessing for us at St. Vladimir's Seminary."
