text: I'm looking for a type of grass that I can seed in my backyard that will be durable with my dogs. I planted TTTF in the front this past fall. I was going to see how that does this year but I'm not sure if I want to wait til fall to seed fescue in the back. I've got a mixture of bermuda, crabgrass, and other in the back already. Its mostly sunny except around the house it's pretty shady. If somebody could help steer me in the right direction. I'm about an hour east of Raleigh.

New from The Chord Company is Indigo Plus Digital, a high-end electrical digital cable drawing on the design of the company's Indigo and Signature Plus analogue interconnects.
Carried over from the analogue versions is the indigo sleeve, non-resonant acrylic plug surrounds and secondary signal return conductor, but beyond that the cable is all-new. It uses specially treated high-purity, oxygen-free, solid-core copper conductors, a gas foamed polyethylene dielectric and a unique combination shielding system designed to protect the signal from high-frequency interference.
Chord says that it's "aware of the debate surrounding the influence (or not) that digital cables can have on sound quality.
"However repeated listening tests, sighted and blind, using both two channel and multi channel audio systems made a compelling case for the release of the Indigo Plus Digital. The improved dynamics, detail levels and tonal characteristics that the Indigo Plus Digital interconnect can bring to a system are very obvious and worthwhile."
The new cable is available terminated with RCA or BNC plugs, and will sell for £395 for a 1m version. As usual with Chord Company products, custom lengths are also available.

PICS: Post your Navi setup!
Unless you're part of the few that get OEM navi's, I know that many of us E39's face cluttered navigation setups with external units- I was wondering what type of setups you guys went with.
I'm looking to get a navi for my mother's e39, and want something clean.
Alpine iXA 407 BT mechless head unit, built in Parrot bluetooth hands free mobile phone kit, iPod control built in and a host of other head unit features. Lumidock for an iPod dock shown as well. It just plugs into the Alpine head unit with a lead that came with it.
Cheers, Dennis!
Dennis.. I want.. Your steering wheel.
Is that alcantara?
Coochie bandit - Yes, it's a genuine E46 M3 CSL steering wheel I upgraded to about 4+ years ago. The alcantara has worn at the 3 o clock position quite a lot, but it is now about 9/10 years old! I have an excellent retrimmer here who's done many UK enthusiasts steering wheels and I'll have mine done from him at some point soon.
hh3uunp - 'Most' E39 (and other BMW) owners *only want oem* which I fully understand. Issue is technology moves at a rapid pace and the oem E39 audio setups are now very outdated. I personally prefer function over form so I don't *have to have oem looks* in the dash so I gain all the advantages of current and future technology :)
Cheers, Dennis!
Your options for Nav are:
OEM - retrofit or existing
Aftermarket - Dynavin or similar
Aftermarket like the one above
GPS or smartphone on the dash.
I just use my phone. I think the best option would be either OEM or retrofit bluetooth and use a phone so you could have voice control or stream the directions via the stereo.
DennisCooper, this is an interesting set up and would like to know if this can be done to my car as well. I do notice that you do not have steering wheel controls and hence different from mine. If I were to replace my existing DSP HU, would your set up work and how do I control through the steering wheel buttons? Do you have any instructions on how to install what you did? Wold the CD system work with this set up in addition to the iPod?
Thanks in advance..
Great job and nice looks too..
When I said I hate touch screens I meant trying to use a touch screen when trying to drive. Takes too much focus.
I completely agree with you when you say technology is moving so fast that the OEM nav is out of date. I think all aftermarket navs are out of date now because you can just use your iphone. I forget the name of the rule but it says that technology Doubles every 18 months which is unbelieveable
Joelgk - The premium brand head units will often have a steering wheel controls interface in the accessories part of their product lineups. Check to see if whichever head unit you shortlist to buy has one. If not, then the aftermarket brands like Paser and PAC offer interfaces as well. My steering wheel is a genuine E46 M3 CSL item, and as I don't mind reaching over less than one foot away from the steering wheel, I saved the extra costs of the interface. If you *must* have steering controls, then the front of these later M Sport steering wheels come off easily by loosening 4 screws, and the upper and lower parts split from each other. You could then pickup the part with the steering wheel controls and fit that. Most steering wheels offered for sale on classifieds and ebay etc are with the controls anyway - not many CSL wheels come up ;) - I also have a upper piece with no buttons at all for a totally clean look and I might fit that up. My setup has zero oem components in, I always go for high quality audio components and oem modules dont' provide anywhere near the performance level I like. A good quality aftermarket head unit like I've shown in my car above can be fitted to any E39. I always recommend using aftermarket amplifiers and speakers to maximise the benefit of the upgrade. If you want to try and integrate some oem modules with aftermarket, you generally then start to run into headaches or just plain can't be done. I have no CD player, all my music is on the iPod there, which just plugs into the head unit - no pricey oem to iPod adaptors needed!
hh3uunp - but, I don't have an iPhone! ;) - But yes, for my GPS requirements I use a free app called 'Waze' on my HTC android smartphone and it works well enough for me and you can't argue with the 'free' price tag!In techy circles, especially in computing you're referring to Moore's law ;) - the next gen of oem incar audio and electronics is/could be gesture based, eye movement tracking based and large 15/17 inch portrait orientation touch/widescreens ! ;) - by 2025, cars will be thought controlled !! after that, the finishing touches to the Star Trek Transporter will be complete !
Cheers, Dennis!

Dublin Ireland of the 1980s
by Hugh Cooney
About the Book
Some photos of Dublin Ireland in the 1980s, Clery's on O'Connell
street, a house in Dartry, the Dun Laoghaire pier, the facade of Trinity College, people waiting for a bus off D'Olier street. Others are of an
air show in Minnesota, people I knew in Fargo, my cousin and her dog Glenn. I put the telephone box on the cover as it reminded me of Dublin when it had that blighted look. No more. It can now take its
place in the latte-drinking minions of the world.

Washington DC (SPX) Aug 22, 2011
The continuing increase in the level of carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" in the Earth's atmosphere has been identified as a cause for serious concern because it may radically accelerate changes in the Earth's climate.
Developing an effective strategy for managing the planet's greenhouse gases is complicated by the many and varied sources of such gases, some natural, some man-made, as well as the mechanisms that capture and "sequester" the gases.
A new report sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) focuses on one of the key challenges: defining and developing the technology needed to better quantify greenhouse gas emissions.
The new report, "Advancing Technologies and Strategies for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Quantification," is the result of a special workshop in the NIST Foundations for Innovation series, convened in June 2010, to bring together greenhouse gas experts from government, industry, academia and the scientific community to address the technology and measurement science challenges in monitoring greenhouse gases.
A wide variety of techniques are used for measuring greenhouse gas emissions and, to a lesser extent, the effectiveness of "sinks"-things like the ocean and forests that absorb greenhouse gases and sequester the carbon.
The problem is that developing an effective global strategy for managing greenhouse gases requires a breadth of measurement technologies and standards covering not only complex chemical and physical phenomena, but also huge differences in scale.
These range from point sources at electric power plants to distributed sources, such as large agricultural and ranching concerns, to large-scale sinks such as forests and seas.
Satellite-based systems, useful for atmospheric monitoring, must be reconciled with ground-based measurements. Reliable, accepted international standards are necessary so governments can compare data with confidence, requiring a lot of individual links to forge an open and verifiable chain of measurement results accepted by all.
The report identifies and discusses, in detail, four broad areas of opportunity for technology development and improvement:
+ Advanced science and technology for reliably quantifying greenhouse gas emissions, regardless of geography, sector or source;
+ Accurate and reliable quantification of distributed carbon sources and sinks;
+ Consistent, standardized methods for measurable, reportable and verifiable greenhouse gas emissions data; and
+ Integration of ground-based (bottom-up) and remote atmospheric observation (top-down) methods.

Huntsman calls on US Republicans to accept science
Washington (AFP) Aug 20, 2011
Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman took a swipe at his rivals and warned his party against rejecting science in an interview that will air Sunday. "I think there's a serious problem. The minute that the Republican Party becomes the party - the anti-science party - we have a huge problem," the former US ambassador to China told ABC television's "This Week."

Arnel Pineda (born September 5, 1967) is a Filipino singer-songwriter and is currently the lead singer of the American rock band Journey.<ref name="rollingstone">Rolling Stone (December 5, 2007). "Journey Finds New Singer the Old-Fashioned Way: On the Internet", Retrieved on February 5, 2008.</ref> He has had an extensive 25-year musical career not only in the Philippines but around Asia.
Pineda's singing style was influenced by foreign singers and bands Steve Perry (Journey), John Farnham (Little River Band), Freddie Mercury (Queen), Sting (The Police), Survivor, Heart, The Beatles, Van Halen, Aerosmith, U2, Warrant, Deep Purple, and other rock artists.<ref>Dizon, David (December 30. 2007). "Journey's new lead singer is Filipino", ABS-CBN News Online. Retrieved on February 5, 2008.</ref>
Personal life
Pineda was born the eldest of four children in Sampaloc, Manila. His mother died of a rheumatic heart when he was thirteen, but his brother said she remains a driving force in his life.<ref name="arnelning">Arnel Pineda Music: Official Site (2008). "Arnel Pineda Music" Retrieved on 2 October 2008.</ref>
His mother's long hospitalization and funeral left their family bankrupt, forcing the Pineda siblings to quit school and be separated from each other to be cared for by their father and different relatives.<ref name="arnelning" /> When Pineda became a musician, he paid for his younger brother Erick's schooling with his earnings.
In 1994, Pineda suffered health problems, which almost destroyed his voice. He returned to the Philippines after years of performing in Hong Kong. His voice recovered after six months of recuperation.<ref name="arnelfans" /><ref>ClickTheCity.com (January 17, 2008). "Zoo's Arnel Pineda: Journey's New Voice". Retrieved on February 5, 2008.</ref> He returned to Hong Kong and resumed singing with his band.
Arnel's father still works as a tailor and his three brothers are married. They all live in the Philippines.
Pineda became a parent when he was 20 years old, but his relationship with the mother of his first child did not work out. He married another woman a few years later, with whom he has had another child. He has since separated from his wife<ref name="arnelning" /> and lives in Quezon City with his girlfriend Cherry and their son Cherub<ref name="arnelfans" />.
Pineda's three sons are 19-year-old Matthew, 11-year-old Angelo and three-year-old Cherub.
Early Bands
Pineda became the lead singer of Filipino band Ijos Band (later renamed "Yjoz") in 1982, when he was only 15 years old. In 1986, some members of Yjoz formed a group called Amo. Amo entered and won the Rock Wars contest in the Philippines. <ref name="arnelfans">ArnelPinedaFans.com (2008). "Unofficial Biography". Retrieved on 9 March 2008.</ref>
In 1988, Amo entered and won the Philippine leg of the Yamaha World Band Explosion. They went on to the finals in Hong Kong but lost due to a technicality. The rules stated that the winning song had to be an original composition. However, it was also stated that in the finals, bands had to perform the same song with which they won their country's leg of the competition. Amo's winning song in the Philippines was Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
After the contest, Amo continued performing at live gigs, with Pineda on lead vocals. They opened for singer Robert Palmer in Manila in 1989.<ref name="arnelfans" />
Pineda performed with Amo in various clubs in Quezon City, Olongapo City and Makati City. The band was very popular in the Chinese-owned California Jams club in Olongapo City, which was frequented by United States military personnel.<ref name="arnelfans" />
In 1990, Pineda and other members of Amo formed another band called Intensity Five and once again entered the Yamaha World Band Explosion. Pineda won the Best Vocalist award and the band was named first runner up in the competition.<ref name="arnelfans" />
When Amo broke up later in 1990, five of the band's original members formed another band called New Age, with Pineda as front man. This occurred prior to the release of Amo's one-and-only album released in 1990 titled Ang Tunay na Amo ("The Real Master") on BMG records. The album spawned one radio hit: "Running Away".
New Age played regularly at Fire and Rain in Makati City and were recruited for work in Hong Kong in 1991 by a talent agent. They performed at a restaurant called Grammy's<ref name="arnelfans" />.
In 1998, New Age was contracted to perform in themed Hong Kong nightclub Igor's. The band dressed in skeleton outfits and called themselves "The Rolling Bones". <ref name="arnelfans" />
Pineda caught the attention of Warner Bros. record label in 1999 and was asked to record a solo album. He flew to the Philippines on his days off to record the self-titled Arnel Pineda. Pineda wrote several songs for the album.
Three years later, Pineda was asked to contribute vocals for one song ("Looking Glass") by Filipino band South Border on their album The Way We Do.
In 2002, Pineda's band changed their name to "9 mm" and played at "The Edge" in Lai Kwai Fong, Hong Kong. The band broke up afterwards.
In 2004, three members of New Age decided to reenter the music industry. They recruited a female singer to share lead vocals with Pineda and called themselves "Most W@nted"<ref>Julve, Smiley D. (January 2005), "What it takes to be Most W@nted", The Sun Internet Edition. Retrieved on February 5, 2008. </ref>.
In 2005, Pineda once again reentered the studio to record the theme song of a short-lived Filipino radio program called "Dayo"<ref name="arnelfans" />.
The Zoo
In 2006, encouraged by talent manager and TV director Bert de Leon, Pineda moved back to the Philippines with guitarist Monet Cajipe, who had been in all of Pineda's previous bands.
Cajipe and Pineda formed The Zoo with Emil Bondoc on bass, Edgar Mendoza on keyboards, and Makoy Alcantara on drums. They were signed by de Leon's company, Sundance Entertainment Corporation. The Zoo performed at clubs in Manila and Olongapo during 2006 and 2007 before releasing their first album, Zoology in 2007. Pineda wrote five songs in the album by himself, collaborating with Mark Valliente on the others<ref name="arnelfans" />.
Pineda's debut performance in the Great Chile Festival Concert 2008.
Pineda's career with Journey started when the band's guitarist, Neal Schon, saw footage of Pineda and his band the Zoo covering the Journey song "Faithfully" on YouTube<ref name="rollingstone" />. A friend of Pineda's had taped the band during a gig, and uploaded the footage to the video sharing site.
Neal Schon was looking for a new vocalist to replace their latest vocalist, Jeff Scott Soto<ref>"Arnel Pineda's Fantastic Journey" (December 6, 2007). "Arnel Pineda's Fantastic Journey", Retrieved on October 10, 2008.</ref>. He decided to search YouTube for new talent. Upon seeing Pineda's performance video, Schon emailed the video uploader to ask for an introduction to the Filipino singer. Schon wanted Pineda to go to San Francisco for an audition<ref name="rollingstoneqa">Rolling Stone Q&A: Arnel Pineda (October 2, 2008). "Q&A: Journey's Arnel Pineda", Retrieved on October 10, 2008.</ref>.
Pineda initially thought Schon's email was a hoax, but was convinced by his friend that it was real. After some negotiation, Pineda agreed to apply for a visa to be able to travel to the United States <ref name="rollingstoneqa" />.
Pineda, along with his manager Bert de Leon, flew to Marin County, north of San Francisco, for a two-day audition.<ref>Amoyo, Aster (January 17, 2008), "If I Know", Journal Online.

Reporters speculated that Pineda was unhappy touring with Journey<ref>GMA News (September 22, 2008). "Rock mag feature says Arnel Pineda is 'unhappy' with Journey", Retrieved on October 10, 2008.</ref>, because told Rolling Stone in an interview that "[Touring is] very, very sad. There are days I just break down and cry. This is a job I'm doing for my family. That's all the consolation I'm getting...It's a fantastic job, but at the same time it's a curse...I told Neal that the only thing that will make me quit this is if I get sick. I guess that's the same reason Steve Perry bailed out."<ref>Rolling Stone (October 2, 2008). "Sad 'Journey' for New Singer", Retrieved on October 10, 2008.</ref>
Pineda dismissed reports of his dissatisfaction in a September interview with American television station CBS. He told CBS that it was normal for him to miss home and as far as he was concerned, he was having a blast onstage. Schon backed up his statements, saying reporters took Pineda's words out of context<ref>YouTube (September 25, 2008). "CBS Interview with Arnel Pineda & Neal Schon", Retrieved on October 10, 2008.</ref>.
"Revelation" Album and Tour
"Revelation" is Journey's first album with Pineda on lead vocals. It debuted at No. 5 in the Billboard Top 200 album charts in June 2008, and remained in the top 20 for six weeks<ref>"Rag Magazine July 2008: Interview with Deen Castronovo" Retrieved on July 14, 2008. </ref>.
Arnel Sings the National Anthem on Pacquiao versus Clottey Fight
On 14 March 2010, Arnel Pineda was chosen to sing the Philippine National Anthem for the anticipated Pacquiao versus Clottey match with Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title belt at stake. Many artists before him like Jennifer Bautista, Sarah Geronimo, Geneva Cruz, Christian Bautista, and Martin Nievera were put under scrutiny for improperly rendering the National Anthem.
The National Historical Institute said that Pineda's performance was "dissatisfactory" when Pineda belted out the last bars in "Lupang Hinirang". According to Section 37 of Republic Act No. 8491, "Lupang Hinirang" should be played or sung "in accordance with the musical arrangement and composition of Julian Felipe."
Pineda apologized to the NHI through media and said that, "I'm not offended by the criticism. I knew it was coming. As an artist, I took liberties."<ref name="inquirer">Inquirer.net (2008).

Why Is Life So Cruel
February 11th, 2012by Life Death
I am 11 years old and i know i am going to die, you can try to talk me out of it, hell if you make me find a reason to live then i won't jump of the 17 floor roof terrace. You know what, i'm scared, terribly terribly scared. Do you know why, because after death there is nothing, nothing at all! Just a bleak empty nothingness, I hope there is something after death. I wish with all my heart that there is something after death, but sadly there is nothing. This is me, signing off, maybe someone will read this and care, hell, i hope someone will talk me out of it cause I am scared. Wait, there is something that is quite funny, i am going to kill myself in the place i love the most….. New York City, Manhattan. This is a goodbye to all, and I, a 11 year old boy am signing off for the last time. Goodnight to all and to all a goodnight!

FOX Sports Daybreak: Chris Landry
Andy and Mike caught up with our NFL & College Scout, Chris Landry this morning. Chris was live at the Combine in Indianapolis and says teams learn more there than they do watching film.
Chris Landry: "You see the film doesn't tell you everything because often times how a player's utilized, how a player looks against a college player... Sometimes they can get away with certain things but it doesn't quite show you everything that you need to see. But the drills that we put theses guys in, whether they're positional drills or measurement drills - they expose certain things. And when I say expose, it may expose a weakness - it may expose an extreme strength."

The difference between a good photo and a great photo is often just a matter of a few small details. Follow the composition tips below and you too can have photos that you'll be proud to hang on your walls.
The Rule of Thirds – Pick up any photography book and you will likely find a section on the rule of thirds. It is a technique for making your photos look better by dividing your frame up into thirds, and moving your main subject away from the center of your image. When used properly, it is very effective. This Worldstart tip has all the information you need on how to use the rule of thirds.

Fill the Frame – Eliminating the dead space around your subject is another sure fire way of improving the visual appeal of your images. Use your camera's zoom lens to get close, or zoom with your feet, and you will be amazed at the difference you see. It draws the viewer into your picture and hides other distracting elements.

Focal Points – All great photos have a focal point. It's the part of the image that your eyes are naturally drawn towards and find appealing. It could be a person, an animal, a pattern, a shape, or even just a splash of color. So, if you want your photos to really stand out from the crowd, you need at least one focal point. Read more on focal points here.

Backgrounds – Sometimes we are so focused on the subject of our photos that we forget to look at what is going on in the backgrounds of our images. If you want to focus all your attention on your main subject, then look for a background that is simple, and free of distractions. If, however, you want to tell a story with your images, look for a background that is in some way connected to your subject.

Camera Orientation – Choosing to hold the camera vertically, or horizontally, definitely makes a difference to the overall look of your image, because some subjects lend themselves more to one orientation than the other. Portraits, for instance, often have more impact when shot vertically, while landscapes usually benefit from a horizontal perspective. Experiment with this by yourself and see what different shots look like when the camera is turned the other way.

Using these simple tips will greatly improve your camera composition skills and lead you to take photos that you may never have thought possible before. So, grab that camera and see how many of these techniques you can incorporate in your next shoot.

You are standing in the check-out line at your hometown grocery store and the clerk asks, "Paper or plastic?" You respond by saying, "Neither," because you have reusable grocery bags.
Reusable shopping bags definitely are a step in the right direction, but they require some care and attention. If not properly cared for, reusable bags can possibly nurture and spread bacteria.
Autumn is a beautiful time in Kentucky. As you drive around Carroll County, take notice of the changing colors of the trees that are beginning to show.
Our gardens and lawns can also be very attractive during this time, but they can also be messy, with piles of leaves from our trees and spent shoots from our flower beds.

Warning about 'Bin Laden schools'
Clearer guidelines must be introduced to establish which religious organisations will be permitted to take up the running of state-funded faith schools, a teachers' union says.
There was currently no clear indication of who would approve or reject an application to build a school called the Osama Bin Laden Academy, warned the general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), Peter Smith.
Similarly the Church of Scientology, the Moonies or even supporters of David Icke - the former footballer and TV presenter who once claimed he was the Messiah - could apply to run a state school, said Mr Smith.
Since the attacks of 11 September, race riots in the north of England last summer and tension surrounding a Roman Catholic school in Belfast, government plans to encourage a wide range of religious groups to run state-funded schools have proved controversial, with critics saying they are divisive.
Mixed opinion over faith schools was no less obvious than at the ATL's annual conference in Cardiff, where delegates tabled conflicting motions on the matter.
One calls for the government to abandon all plans to increase the number of faith schools, another urges delegates to "recognise the positive contribution these faith schools make to the education of young people".
But the ATL's general secretary, Peter Smith, said the union had "grave reservations" about how the faith school policy was being implemented in communities.
"The problem for the government is what we do about religious groupings, that are often heavily bankrolled, that come along and say they want to open a school?
"Suppose there was an application to open the Osama Bin Laden Academy - who exactly would say 'no' and on what justification?" asked Mr Smith.
Faith schools must give pupils a full and equal access to the national curriculum, he said.
'Snoring dog'
And those which did not admit girls as well as boys, and pupils from other religious backgrounds, should have their funding withdrawn, he added.
The ATL was not pressing for a secular education system, said Mr Smith, as history could not be rewritten.
But he said the government had made a grave mistake when it paved the way for more faith schools.
"My own personal view is if a dog is snoring, don't kick it awake and I think it was very stupid of the government to kick this dog awake," he said.

Save KPFA: The Paranoia Patrol
As usual, Save KPFA posts another angry screed with little to no relationship to reality
The motion in question was authored by the public affairs director at WBAI-FM in New York, Kathy Davis. It is a paid staff-originated motion. It has nothing to do with anyone thinking or saying anything. You can propose that the moon is made of swiss cheese, the earth is flat, all Pacifica stations should play reggae music all day long or the entire staff of KPFT in Houston should be fired immediately. It has nothing to do with dissent.
It restricts delegate service (i.e being on the boards) for 3 categories of people:
1) Those convicted in a court of violating the duties of a board member of a 501c3 not for profit mutual benefit charity
2) Former employees who were fired for cause. Fired for cause means for nonperformance of job duties. It does not cover employees who resign their positions or are laid off due to jobs ending or financial distress.
3) Individuals who have been cited for violence or making threats of violence that create an unsafe work environment for others.
Any decisions that an individual is not in good standing to serve as a board member has 3 levels of appeal including an independent arbitrator if desired, and the policy is not retroactive to current board terms underway.
Friday Dec 14th, 2012 10:48 PM
Before votes in KPFA's local board election are even counted, Tracy Rosenberg and her allies at the national level continue to do damage to Pacifica's structure and mission. Earlier this week, Pacifica's governance committee, which is dominated by Rosenberg and her allies, passed a measure that would, if adopted by the Pacifica National Board, prohibit those who dissent from Rosenberg's agenda from serving on local or national boards.
"The resolution banning those deemed 'disloyal' which was presented to the committee by Tracy is pure McCarthy era," notes Sasha Futran, KPFA's Local Station Board vice chair. "The appeal process is a sham, as any appeals would go to the very people who took after them for political reasons in the first place. This is the kind of divisiveness that is tearing Pacifica apart. Tracy has a big hand, perhaps the biggest, in that process," added Futran, who was a member of Rosenberg's slate at one time, before leaving it to join SaveKPFA.
The measure is aimed squarely at 4 SaveKPFA members — Margy Wilkinson, Dan Siegel, Mal Burnstein and Conn Hallinan — for their role in collecting over $60,000 in pledges to restore the KPFA Morning Show and rehire its laid off co-hosts back in 2010-2011. They raised only pledges of support, not actual money. Nevertheless, the "Morning Show 4″ were slapped with a lawsuit by Rosenberg allies Richard Phelps and Daniel Borgstrom, who allege such fundraising activity was "disloyal" to Pacifica. Phelps and Borgstrom are demanding these four listeners pay Pacifica "damages" of $800,000.
The proposal from Pacifica's governance committee would ban anyone whose actions have been declared by a court of law to be breaches of "loyalty," "fiduciary duty," or "duty of care" from holding any office in Pacifica. Rosenberg has been publicly predicting victory in the Morning Show 4 case, and it's transparent her intent is to get rid of her political opponents.
"Do you have any conscience?" wrote one KFPA listener to Rosenberg recently when the lawsuit came up for public discussion recently. "You're supporting a horrendous attack on 4 KPFA listeners who were simply trying, like generations before them, to support KPFA in a time of crisis."
Rosenberg's allies have been issuing gag rules against KPFA's unpaid and paid staff; now they are going after listeners too. "Banning people, gag rules, anti-union law firms eating up the station's cash — where have we heard this before?" asked KPFA listener Alison Davis. "In 1999, the last time the network was taken over."
ACTION ALERT: IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP! Please take a minute to send an email to Pacifica's boardmembers demanding they reject this "loyalty" measure when it comes up for a vote this week. Send a sample email (or write your own): "Pacifica, ENOUGH! The loyalty measure doesn't do a single thing to fix the many problems facing Pacifica. Stop misusing your power to go after political opponents. Listeners need you to build the network, not launch McCarthyite witch-hunts."
This is about KPFA's foundational principles of free speech and political dissent. "If a measure like this actually ends up being adopted, Pacifica's founder Lew Hill would not even recognize the radio network he created," added Futran.
KPFA's Tracy Rosenberg circulated the "disloyalty" measure, which was written by WBAI delegates Kathy Davis and Alex Steinberg and KPFT delegate Bill Crosier.
Monday Dec 17th, 2012 1:55 AM
So now Save KPFA is sticking up for the rights of fired employees, people who hit other people at board meetings and people who are found guilty in court of breaches of board member duties.
Meanwhile KPFA continues to bleed subscribers and produces more hate mail than it does decent radio programs.
Don't these people have anything better to do than desperately try to hang on to control of KPFA?
They've been in the minority for years on the national level and will remain that way, so all these screeds add up a big nothing in the end.
"We want violent boards". That's a hell of a rallying cry, Save KPFA.
Monday Dec 17th, 2012 4:49 PM
It is long standing law across the nation that elected members of corporate governance CAN NOT compete with the corporation, in this case Pacifica. It is also part of the Pacifica Bylaws:
Article Seven, Local Station Boards, Section 3: Specific Powers and Duties
Each LSB, acting as a standing committee of the Foundation's Board of Directors, shall have the following powers, duties and responsibilities related to its specific radio station, under the direction and supervision of the Foundation's Board of Directors:
M. To exercise all of its powers and duties with care, "loyalty", diligence and sound business judgment consistent with the manner in which those terms are generally defined under applicable California law. (Emphasis added.)
During a regular KPFA fund drive and after, SaveKPFA asked listeners to pledge to support SaveKPFA's desire to bring back the Morning Show. In their pitch posted on their web site they ended it by saying that "If Pacifica does the right thing" the pledges would be handed over. This was NOT unconditional fund raising for KPFA. This was competing with KPFA, putting SaveKPFA's goals first. That is fine for anybody except people that ran for election and were elected to seats in KPFA/Pacifica governance. And in typical sectarian manner SaveKPFA tries to cover their wrongful conduct by screaming we are "banning dissent".
By the way, during oral argument at the Court of Appeals, one of the Justices asked SaveKPFA's lawyer something to the affect of " Shouldn't your clients have resigned from governance if they wanted to do this campaign?"
For the record, Tracy Rosenberg had nothing to do with the lawsuit, and I think she supports it. The recall was just another tactic to win control as the quote below shows.
This is Brian Edwards-Tiekert's/SaveKPFA's philosophy, laid out by him in an email to his colleagues in collusion, working to control the station. BET said in 2005:
"...how do we make our enemies own the problems that are to come?" Alternatively, should we be "recalling LSB members/dismantling the LSB?" (Emphasis added.)
Long before Tracy Rosenberg was on the LSB, BET was discussing with his allies , RECALLING LSB members as a tactic, with no mention of good cause.
And of course when they cause a problem, like red ink at KPFA, by refusing to bring staff payroll in line with income they try to blame it on others by screaming "banning dissent" and "union busting", etc.
When SaveKPFA talks about "local control" it is more local than you think. SaveKPFA wants to run the station with no listener involvement except for their chosen few. SaveKPFA wants listeners to send in your money and let the "professionals" decide what you want/need to hear.
When Bensky and Mericle et al. fought against the "hijackers" in 1999, they didn't do it to bring in a democratic governance with listener involvement, they did it since they believed that the station was theirs to run and not for Mary Frances Berry and her crew. Sort of like two feudal lords fighting over a piece of land with no regard for the people that live there.

By Mike Lopresti, Gannett News Service
SAN FRANCISCO He'll be forgotten when all this is over — just another face on the Barry Bonds Watch. But can we have a round of applause for John Lannan?
Let's hear it for the Washington Nationals pitcher who started the season not in Class AAA, not in Class AA, but Class A. The Space Shuttle doesn't move that fast...
The guy who in one summer went from striking out Winston-Salem Warthogs to striking out Barry Bonds...
The rookie who was 1 year old when Bonds hit his first major league home run, but faced him four times Monday night and got him out all but once.
There Lannan was Monday night in AT&T Park, set up to be the famous victim like a turkey is set up for Thanksgiving dinner. A 22-year-old making the third major league start of his life, and 43,000 partisans hoping to see the star hit the ball 420 feet and make history.
Put it another way:
The section on Bonds runs 19 pages in the Giants media guide.
Lannan got seven lines at the bottom of page 439 in the Nationals media guide.
"We had a game plan to go after him if we had a chance," the tall left-hander from Long Island said afterward. "I was just trying to keep my composure and follow my game plan."
Follow his game plan. He said that eight times in his media chat, a young man not exactly effusive with strangers. Lannan looked more comfortable throwing a 3-2 curveball to Bonds in the seventh inning — swing and a miss, strike three — than he did surrounded by cameras and microphones.
But then, he didn't face hordes like this in Potomac in April.
Didn't face a guy with 755 home runs, either.
"The kid went toe to toe with Barry," reliever Ray King said.
King is an old hand who has faced the business end of Bonds' bat many times, and dispensed some pre-game wisdom to Lannan.
"Don't get in a rush," King told him. "The game can't start until you start it."
So Lannan listened and occasionally backed away to slow himself. And he listened to catcher Brian Schneider and the pitching coach and the manager.
Then he went out to face Barry Bonds.
"I saw Brian's signs," he said. "That's all I focused on."
But he must have noticed the crowd standing, anticipating, waiting for him to offer up a balloon for Bonds to crush? That had to seem daunting.
"At times it did. I just went out and followed the game."
The specially marked baseballs the umpire has to get before every Bonds at-bat?
"Just like any other change of ball that hits in the dirt."
The flashbulbs popping?
"I tried my hardest not to pay attention to them. I really stuck to the game plan."
Thought so.
Bonds hit a weak foul pop in the first inning. Walked in the third. Grounded into a double play in the fifth. But the seventh inning is the moment Lannan will tell his grandchildren about.
Bonds got ahead 3-1, but Lannan first threw a high fastball that Bonds tried to blast to Berkeley. Nothing but air. Then Bonds chased the curve.
Lannan left the game tied 1-1, though Washington lost 3-2 in 11 innings.
It had been a big night. His parents had flown in from New York. The baseball world that did not know his name — John Lannan, you mean the late Beatle? — had seen him beat Bonds in the brightest of lights.
Isn't that the way he'd remember it; where he was in April, and where he was Monday night?
"It's tough because we lost," Lannan said. "Every day here I'm going to remember.
"I just try to learn something new every day."
Monday night, he learned he could strike out Barry Bonds.

Two-out-of-three (66%) Americans rate Christmas as one of the nation's most important holidays in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. That puts it at the top of the list for American holidays. The Fourth of July is second as 62% consider the nation's birthday one of our most important holidays.
Earlier surveys showed that 66% of Americans celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday while 20% support it as a secular holiday.
Christmas is a time for traditions. Dinner with friends and family is the most popular custom among adults who celebrate Christmas. Eighty-three percent (83%) will have a large dinner with their loved ones on Christmas.
Eighty-one percent (81%) also think decorating their Christmas tree is fun. More than half (57%) of Christmas celebrants will attend a Christmas party.
One of the most exciting aspects of Christmas is opening presents. While 26% say they'll open gifts on Christmas Eve, most (68%) will unwrap them on Christmas morning.
Those with kids at home are more likely to open gifts on Christmas morning.
For most Americans, the December holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year.
Americans remain overwhelmingly in favor of allowing religious symbols to be displayed on public land and feel strongly that public schools should celebrate at least some religious holidays.

Some of my clients turn out to be more intensive, long-tern individual psychotherapy cases. If you have never taken a long term approach to be involved in your own growth and healing you may benefit greatly from this type of counseling. Many people withdraw from their therapy too quickly and don't take the time or commitment to stay connected in the therapeutic relationship.
Michael Rivest, Ph.D., D.S.T.
Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor
Winston Salem, North Carolina 27103
Counseling does not have to take forever. More often than not my short term counseling really gets people on their feet. I am goal orientated and get to the point quickly. I am a straight forward counselor who will tell you were the bear goes in the woods. I will also give advice. Naturally you do not have to do anything I say but if you do happiness and order will soon be yours. I use Temperament Therapy and it really works. www.MarriageCounseling.org
Kevin Thompson, LPC

Anyone can talk. Finding someone who knows how to listen is becoming more of a challenge these days. My approach to counseling is based on a client-centered, solution focused practice that helps establish a comfortable and meaningful relationship in which you can be heard and understood and can receive feedback aimed at optimal health. If you find yourself struggling with the mundane problems of everyday life or a significant experience which compromises your mental and emotional health, talking to a therapist can be one of the most effective steps in achieving a sense of self-awareness and balance.

Papoose is still a young horse and has been with us since May 2010. He is a striking young fellow, but he has been dificult to bring on, and we have had a few problems to resolve - initially not realising what was the cause, but now we trying to listen to him, and understand what he is trying to tell us.
For more videos on Paps please take a look at his very own VIDEO Page!
Papoose was born and bred on a lovely small hill farm in mid-Wales. He was sold to us as his breeder had suffered a riding accident, and although he wanted to keep him, could not train him. Shortly after he came to us as a five year old, largely unbroken and unridden, he started to show a few signs of 'difficulty' in handling and riding. He was shaking his head, did not take kindly to saddles all the time, had most of us on the ground occasionally, and finally 'told' us that things were not right whilst doing dressage lessons.
At this point we started to pay attention, and called in some specialists. He was diagnosed with C1 and c2 muscles out of alignment on his poll, his right hand shoulder had at some time suffered an injury, potentially causing him nerve damage, he was quite locked up in both his shoulders, and his hind quarters were a little stiff. The vet also found that he had pain in his tushes and filed the one which had erupted, the other still beneath his gums. We also put him on a diet of hay, instead of haylage, and what a change in a horse after that! This had taken us 18 months to arrive at these conclusions! Poor Paps.
As a result of being thrown from him in October 2011, and being unable to ride him because of injury and fear, we started to explore other ways of working with him.
And so we discovered the principles of horse agility. This worked like magic, taking his mind, and our mind off the real problem, and working with many other challenges at the same time. Initially he still did not like us taking him round on a right lead, but now, (just six months later) he is absolutely fine, easy to handle in-hand, lovely to ride, shows no signs of grumpiness and is quite a different horse.
I would recommend that if you have a problem horse, or a horse with problems, give him some horse agility exercises to get his mind to work, give him some stretches to exercise his muscles, and give him some treatments to help his muscles. We all benefit from such care, so he can too!!
Paps is my star, and my teacher - hopefully we can help others too.
We are now riding him regularly, and he is taking out all levels of rider. He currently enjoys his schooling, LOVES horse agility, and rose to International Champion at Level 2 class in July 2012. Since then it has rained nearly every day, but we are all longing to get back into liberty work and horse agility once again!
IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN HORSE AGILITY, AND WOULD LIKE SOME HELP AND GUIDANCE, OR SIMPLY A DEMONSTRATION, THEN PLEASE PHONE AND MAKE A BOOKING. We do not offer a home consultation, but we are very pleased to help. Check out the International Horse Agility Club and the Equine Tourism Community websites.
Paps and I are really looking forward to some more work together during 2013.
July 2013
Paps is my star at liberty work. He loves it, and so do we! He has great connection, and works with great concentration, speed over the jumps, under control through the obstacles, and loves showing off! Come and see him work - he is an inspiration to us all!

With only 1-in-5 children in the U.S. currently living within walking distance of a park or playground, 151 cities and towns, including Oro Valley, earned recognition from national nonprofit KaBOOM! as 2011 Playful City USA communities for their efforts to increase play opportunities for children.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, play is important to healthy brain development and allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength.
Oro Valley was selected for its Nature Camp, which provides play opportunities for children during fall and spring breaks from school. The program has affected more than 200 kids and exposes them to nature hikes and educational activities.
Hailing from 38 states and one territory, the 151 Playful City USA honorees range in size from five-time honorees such as Atlanta and San Francisco to first-time recipient Gypsum, Colo. (population: 4,000).
These Playful City USA communities are making a commitment to play and physical activity by developing unique local action plans to increase the quantity and quality of play in their community.
Each of the 2011 Playful City USA communities demonstrated creative commitments to addressing the Play Deficit. Today's children spend less time playing outside than any previous generations in part because only 20-percent live within walking distance of a park or playground.
The 151 Playful City USA communities are now eligible for grants via Let's Play – a community partnership led by the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group to get kids active nationwide.
For more information on the KaBOOM! Playful City USA program, including Let's Play grants and applications for 2012, visit www.kaboom.org/playfulcityusa.

San Francisco's Sustainable Tataki Sushi and Sake Bar
by Laura Neilson
When you're a seven-table sushi restaurant—in San Francisco, a city overflowing with sushi joints—how do you stand apart from the others? San Francisco's Tataki Sushi and Sake Bar took this obvious challenge to task by being the country's first and only sustainable sushi restaurant. Co-owners Raymond Ho and Kin Lui, who opened Tataki earlier this year in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood, maintain that every item on its menu is caught in an environmentally sound manner.
To help them in their endeavor, Ho and Lui enlisted the expertise of seafood sustainability expert, Casson Trenor. According to Trenor, the five most popular sushi items in the United States—longline tuna, farmed salmon, farmed imported shrimp, farmed freshwater eel (unagi), and farmed Japanese amberjack (hamachi)—are all generally unsustainable. "Tataki is the only sushi restaurant in the U.S. to offer sustainable alternatives to all five,â he says
Instead of serving bluefin tuna (a fish that's both endangered and known for its high mercury levels), Tataki offers diners yellowfin and albacore tuna caught by handline, thereby avoiding the accidental capture of seabirds and turtles that often occurs with longline fishing. Other alternatives include Alaskan salmon and arctic char, which stand in for farmed Atlantic salmon (notorious for pollutants). In addition to sustainable seafood sources, local ingredients are also a key component on Tataki's menu. The "Golden State" roll, for example, is an all-out, all-local tribute to California, featuring spicy, suspension-farmed scallops and minced apple, layered with albacore tuna, avocado and 24k gold flakes.
Environmental considerations don't stop at the menu—the compact space is marked by thoughtful design details, from the sleek, polished bamboo tables (handcrafted by the owners themselves), to the plates and utensils fashioned from rapidly-renewable sources such as acacia wood.

A.R. Ravishankara Selected Cochair of the Scientific Assessment Panel of the Montreal ProtocolSeptember 24, 2007
Dr. A.R. Ravishankara, Director of ESRL's Chemical Sciences Division, was selected on September 21 as Cochair of the Scientific Assessment Panel of the Montreal Protocol. The decision was taken at the 19th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, the historic international agreement that protects the Earth's ozone layer.
The 1987 Montreal Protocol established three panels to periodically update the Parties on matters related to the ozone layer. The Scientific Assessment Panel is specifically charged with providing periodic assessments of the science related to the ozone layer, ozone-depleting substances, climate/ozone interactions, and ultraviolet radiation at the Earth's surface.
Dr. Daniel Albritton, former Director of CSD, was Cochair from the inception of the Montreal Protocol in 1987 until he resigned earlier this year due to retirement. Ravishankara joins Dr. Paul Newman (NASA) and Dr. John Pyle (Cambridge University, UK) also selected as Cochairs and Dr. Ayite Lo Ajavon (University of Lome, Togo) continuing as Cochair. The most recent assessment, Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion: 2006, was published earlier this year. The next assessment will occur in 2010.
NOAA has played a leadership role in the international ozone scientific assessments since the beginning of the Montreal Protocol. With the appointment of Dr. Ravishankara as Cochair of the Scientific Assessment Panel, that global leadership role will continue. NOAA scientists serve as lead authors, coauthors, contributors, reviewers, and technical editor for the quadrennial assessments. NOAA research on the observations, understanding, and modeling of the ozone layer is highly cited in the 2006 and earlier assessments (1989, 1991, 1994, 1998, 2002). The work contributes to the NOAA Climate Goal and to NOAA's Crosscutting Priorities in national and international leadership.

Target: Girma Wolde Georgis, President of Ethiopia
Goal: Stop development from destroying the traditional lifestyle of tribal population
In the Lower Omo Valley, in the southeast of Ethiopia, tribes are being restricted from using the resources of the land to support themselves. The very same dams that will power irrigation systems to generate the production of lucrative crops such as sugar will end up hurting the locals' traditional means of sustenance — fishing, farming, and raising cattle. The construction of a hydroelectric dam threatens to dry out the river zone that is essential for the survival of tribes that depend on fishing. Furthermore, the dam will stop the annual flood that the locals use to adequately water their farmlands to ensure a healthy crop production. The development won't just endanger their crops but will also make it more difficult to raise livestock by reducing the availability of land currently used for pasturing cattle. Depriving over 200,000 inhabitants of the Lower Omo Valley of their traditional food production methods is perhaps not the intended effect of promoting the development of sugar plantations, but is devastating to the population nevertheless. Ethiopia's forests, rivers, and pasture lands are the natural wealth that allows its tribal people to thrive, and its destruction threatens their survival.
As these tribes witness the evisceration of their ecosystem, they must also deal with a cruel government bent upon removing them from their home environments. The valley inhabitants are being forcibly resettled away from their homes and into camps to make room for the more than 700,000 new settlers expected to work on the sugar cane plantations. Many of them do not want to move as their new homes distance them from customary food sources, leaving them without a way to fish or gather fruits from mango trees. The government has pressured officials to proceed quickly with the relocation project, indirectly encouraging them to use coercive methods to force the hand of those who wanted to stay put. Locals have reported that at times they were forced to sell their cattle under the threat of seeing it butchered and that their grain stores were destroyed. At times, soldiers resorted to extreme tactics such as physical violence and rape to pressure reluctant inhabitants to resettle.
Please sign this petition to tell the Ethiopian government to respect the tribal people's right to keep on living in the Lower Omo Valley and to continue their traditional lifestyle of farming, fishing, gathering fruits, and raising livestock. The development of sugar cane plantations and of a hydroelectric dam to power them is no excuse to destroy the local population's life-sustaining relationship to a natural habitat whose lands, rivers, and trees have been nourishing them for generations.
Dear Girma Wolde Georgis, President of Ethiopia
It is understandable that your country wants to hasten the development of industries that hold the promise of economic growth. The profits generated by foreign investments into the hydroelectric dam and the construction of sugar plantations would make it possible to invest in modern infrastructure, healthcare, and social services.
However, nature's own riches are too valuable to be wasted. The tribal population's methods of supporting themselves by farming, raising cattle, and fishing are not to be sneered at. Drying out the rivers and the adjoining lands by reducing the flow of water via a dam is not a good idea as it reduces crop yields by impeding the irrigation of farmlands. The locals wouldn't be able to catch as many fish either since dried-out rivers imperil the creatures' natural habitat.
The tribal inhabitants of the Lower Omo Valley who have been taking advantage of the wealth of the land shouldn't be deprived of its life-giving gifts. Therefore, we ask you to respect their ecosystem and change your development plans to preserve it. Allowing them to continue using the land as a food source also means not forcibly removing them from it. Although some of the land is allocated to sugar cane farms, a healthy share of it must be left to the tribes who should have ample space for raising crops and pasturing their cattle.
