HOUMA — Mike Voisin, one of the best-known people in Louisiana's seafood business, has died at a Houma hospital.
Voisin died Saturday in the intensive care unit at Terrebonne General Hospital in Houma from complications of a heart attack suffered last week. Funeral arrangements are pending.
His death was announced on the website of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board.
"Mike Voisin was a tireless champion for Louisiana seafood, and the oyster industry in particular," U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., said in a statement. "His passing leaves a tremendous void in our hospitality industry. "
In addition to being the owner of Motivatit Seafood and chairman of the Gulf Coast Seafood Coalition, Voisin was the founder of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board, was the former chairman of the National Fisheries Institute, and was the former chairman of the Louisiana Oyster Task force.
Voisin was born in Los Angeles and had lived in Louisiana for the past 38 years. He had owned Motivatit Seafoods Inc. based in Houma since 1971.
"Our whole department is so terribly saddened at the passing of Mike," state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries secretary Robert Barham said in a statement.
"On a daily basis, I relied on his extensive knowledge of the coastal environment and seafood industry. No one was more versed on seafood management. It will be virtually impossible to find someone that has the ability, the knowledge and the will to ensure Louisiana remains a leader in the seafood industry."

The Old City, Hyderabad is a walled city of Hyderabad, Telangana, India, located on the banks of the Musi River built by Qutb Shahi sultan Muhammed Quli Qutb Shah in 1591 AD. It remained the royal seat of the Nizam of Hyderabad until the end of the reign of the last Nizam, Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII (r. 1911–1948). Named after Hyder Mahal, wife of the ruler Muhammed Quli Qutb Shah, Hyderabad takes pride in its possession of magnificent antiquated structures, domical mosques, and monuments (r. 1580–1611).[3] Once a vibrant city teeming with palatial mansions of Nawabs and mosques, the old city of Hyderabad today is a little crowded but remains the symbolic heart of cosmopolitan Hyderabad along with HITEC City.[4][5][6] The old city of Hyderabad a tourist hot spot, and the heart of Hyderabadi Muslim culture.
The old city is one of the main places where the Urdu language spoken and the official language of the Hyderabad State under the Nizams in 1884 AD.[7] The large Muslim population primarily speak a dialect of Urdu known as Dakkhani or Deccani (meaning "language of the Deccan"). Urdu is also widely spoken and understood.
As the historical region of Hyderabad, the old city contains many landmark buildings including, Charminar masjid(literally "Four minarets mosque"), a structure built on the spot where Quli Qutb Shah prayed for the end to a plague epidemic.
The Mecca Masjid (mosque), situated to the southwest of Charminar masjid, is one of the oldest mosques in India. Begun by Muhammed Quli Qutub in 1617 under the supervision of Mir Faizullah Baig and Rangaiah Choudhary, it was later completed during Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1694. The mosque is built of granite and has a main hall 75 feet (23 m) high, 220 feet (67 m) wide and 180 feet (55 m) long, big enough to accommodate ten thousand worshippers at a time. The entrance arches are made of single slabs of granite. Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah commissioned bricks to be made from soil brought from Mecca and used them in the central arch and construction of the mosque, hence its name.[8][9][10] Other mosques in the region include the 300-year-old Toli Masjid renowned for its architecture, and Pahaday Sharif, where 400 stairs brings visitors to a place of worship built by the Nizams.
The Golconda Fort was the Seat of the Qutb Shahi kingdom and in the 15th century the centre of a flourishing diamond trade.

Built by Nawab Viqar al-Umra in 1872, Falaknuma Palace is noted for its architecture and is the most opulent of the Nizam's palaces. The interior features works by Florentine sculptors and a 100-seat Dining Table.
The Purani Haveli was originally the palace of the Nizam's Parents, later renovated to become the quarters of the Nizam's son. It is a U-shaped complex with a single-story building in the European style.
H.E.H The Nizam Museum, Purani Haveli. Home to the famous wardrobe of Mahbub Ali Pasha, who is said never to have worn the same thing twice, it is the world's longest wardrobe, built in two levels with a hand-cranked wooden lift. The device occupies the entire length of one wing of the palace.
The Salar Jung Museum contains the since augmented collections of the former Prime Ministers of Hyderabad. The museum is reputed to be the world's largest one-man collection.[11]
The Tombs and Mosques of Qutb Shahi Tombs are the resting place of Qutub Shahi Sultans, while the Paigah Tombs contain 'Paigah' nobles (tied by blood and marriage to the Nizams) and are about 200 years old. These unique lime and mortar tombs are intricately carved and feature marble inlay work.
Michel Joachim Marie Raymond, a French mercenary, is interred in the Raymond's Tomb. He was a military commander in the service of the second Nizam during 1786 AD and also his close friend. The black granite tomb is located in Saroornagar, and offers a panoramic view of the area.
Hyderabad is built around the Mir Alam Tank, the largest lake in the old city and the site of the Nehru Zoological Park, an 300 acres (1.2 km2) area filled with various species of birds and animals. The tank is named after its builder Mir Alam, Prime Minister of Hyderabad between 1804 and 1808, and comprises a one-mile bund with 21 semi-circular arches.[12]
Madina, near Charminar, is one of the oldest commercial suburbs in the city opened in 1947 on the premises of the Aladdin Wakf. Before the discovery of oil in that country, Hyderabad was richer than Saudi Arabia and the rents received from the area's buildings were sent to Saudi Arabia to help poor Muslims in Medina.
Osman Sagar is a small dam built by the Nizams to provide drinking water and to check the floodwaters of the Musi River. An artificial lake off the river Musi.[clarification needed What is?] The site also has well-kept gardens and swimming pools.[4]
Built during the period of the last Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan, the Osmania University has an imposing facade. After the Independence of India, the city has seen a rapid growth in educational institutions, providing many facilities for their students. It also has a number of engineering colleges with proper facilities for the students.
The old city has many restaurants offering Hyderabadi cuisine which is noted for its use of spices and herbs. The food is prepared using different types of spices, in which each spice adds a special taste to the food with a modern touch, while preserving the traditional quality of the food. The most famous dishes of Hyderabad is Hyderabadi Biryani and Hyderabadi Haleem, which are served with great delight. Pista House, Bawarchi,cafe bahar,Masterchef,555,Sheraton cafe are popularly known for Haleem.shadab hotel is famous for one of best biryani in the city.

The old city is well connected by railway, road, and air. Auto rickshaws are available for getting around the city at reasonable rates while TSRTC city buses circulate within the city and also travel to the nearby towns and villages. Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station is in Old City, Hyderabad and the nearest railway station is Hyderabad Deccan Station, which offers good connections with the rest of India. The newly developed Shamshabad Rajiv Gandhi International Airport lies 6 to 8 kilometres (3.7 to 5.0 mi) from the old city.
Sarojini Naidu describes the Bazaars of Hyderabad in her poem In The Bazaars of Hyderabad.[18] Hyderabad has been a trading center for centuries and the bazaars of the old city are world-renowned for their pearls, diamonds, and bangles.
The street leading from Charminar to the square on the west is known as Laad Bazaar and is the bridalwear shopping market of the old city. Hyderabadi glass bangles known as Sona Bai are available here. This colourful shopping market of the old city is tucked away in one of the streets leading off from the Charminar. Bangles, bridalwear, pearls, Attar (perfume) and the traditional Hyderabadi glass and stone studded bangles are all sold here.[19][20][21] The Madina Market also known as Madina, Hyderabad is known for its wholesale cloth market providing goods from the regions of Telangana, northern Karnataka, and Maharashtra.[22]
The markets of Charminar's Gulzar House are favoured for the gold, diamonds, and pearls with which Hyderabad is synonymous. Cultured pearls studded in gold and silver jewellery of intricate design are a speciality. Pearls come in many shapes and of particular interest is the 'rice-pearl' – a tiny variety. There is also the precious "Basra"; a pearl unmatched in lustre, color, and price which is available in select stores. The pearls are sold in strings or raw by weight.[23]
The city has a distinct culture showing Islamic influences and a courtly presence resulting from its period as the capital of the Nizams, which is more evident in the old city.

Customize G Translate appearance.
Hey guys. I'm using G Translate on my site http://www.chrisfawkes.net
I have removed the flags but where it says translate it has an up and down arrow in a blue box. That color blue is what i would love to adjust, either making it gray or changing it to a color congruent with the rest of my site.
First person to help me achieve this gets demi god status.

The Boombox Saints [Interview]
Vancouver, B.C. – The Boombox Saints bridge two distinct cultures – the party vibe of good, clean hip-hop, and the more orthodox, second-generation brand of hard work: call them blue-collar rappers with a white-collar attitude. They expressly try to avoid being pigeonholed as Filipono hip-hop, but signs of their heritage show up in their videos, their stories and in the company they keep.
The three Saints – Adlib, Huggy Fresh and Freaky P – hail from all across Canada but share the common threads of ethnicity and musical chemistry. The Boombox started out as a live hip-hop act with up to 8 members, but too many cooks in the kitchen led to the final formation of 3. Huggy and Adlib met at church in grade six and both started writing tracks, impressed with each others' styles and providing mutual challeges to step up their games. Freaky P moved to Vancouver from Hamilton, ON and was introduced to the Saints by a mutual friends; he brought his east coast swag to their R&B vibe as "the last piece of the puzzle that was missing." Adlib reflects that "it never worked out until P came along…P is edgy, Huggy has a crazy flow, and I like to think I'm the glue, the melody of the whole thing."
And melodious they are: chock-full of innovation and camaraderie, the Boombox Saints are good boys with mad musical drive."The bottom line," explains Huggy, "is that music is an important part of our culture, we were brought up in music so we'll always be involved in music or entertaining." Be it the Frank Sinatra of Adlib's childhood, the Hendrix of Freaky P's or the Abba of Huggy's, they were each steeped in not only a musical tradition but a culture of entertainment. "Filipinos just lover performing," continues Huggy as the boys remenisc about the karaoke and talent shows of birthday parties past.
Perhaps the most evident sign of this childhood is in the Boombox Saints' first video "Flip It," a party track with a cultural twist. Based on a popular Filipino coming-of-age movie called "The Debut," the video opens with an awkward church-basement style party. Preacher's son Adlib recognizes the corniness of the concept, but also the importance of exploring "the cultural differences between Filipinos born here and those coming from abroad…the struggle of differentiating your roots as being Filipino and growing up here." The cultural juxtaposition becomes evident when the video flips from party dresses and cupcakes to slick cars and booty riders; DJ K-Rec's beat drops and the landscape shifts from foreign to familiar.
The diversity within the group becomes more and more obvious as their music is explored: as different from "Flip It" as can be, their new single "She Got" veers from party hip-hop to marketable, ringtone rap. To get a full picture of what the Boombox Saints sound like, you really have to listen to it all. K-Rec has produced and mastered several beats for the trio, and recognizes the "wide variations of sound" coming through his mixer. And there's more to come: the group has big plans for the future, including teaming up with famed producer Chin Injeti. As for shows, the gang will be hitting the Rickshaw Theatre March 27th, then visiting Huggy's hometown of Winnipeg on the 29th and Freaky P's Steel City on April 4.

Lures to Use About White Bass
Almost every Missouri lake has a population of White Bass. A cousin of the Striped Bass, White Bass are a schooling fish that travel in large numbers, and can reach the three pound range. If you find one, there's usually a lot more nearby. Landing into a school of White's can provide a lot of action.
In the early Spring the White Bass make their spawning runs up into the arms and creeks of the lakes. This is the best time of year to catch them, and it won't take long to catch your limit.
During the Summer, White Bass can be found chasing shad in to the shallows. This usually takes place in the large arms and the main lake areas. It is possible to try and follow the White's around, and fish for them as they come up to bust the shad. Find the shad and the White Bass won't be far away. This method of following the fish can be tried in the Fall too. If you're lucky enough to run into a school, hang on!>

my Mom's Aunt and Uncle Peggy and Leo McCue out at Hough's
Neck in Quincy. In later years the cottage was sold and the
scene shifted to cousin Bobby McCue's place in Marshfield. By
that time I was in my 20's and didn't go along very often. (I was
worried I'd be mistaken for a beached whale). But my younger
brother did and I think either he or my sister Cheryl took pictures
one day in August of 1976:
|Mom & Dad
|I'm not sure what Dad is pointing at here.
|Dad about to try water skiing
|Mom & Cousins
the time spent with the cousins!

GALVESTON, Texas - A Santa Fe couple exchanged their vows on the beach, and it was a long time coming for the love birds.
After 12 years together Jason and Sherie are finally saying "I do".
The couple's grandchildren wore red in honor of the Valentine's Day ceremony.
"My grandparents that are no longer with us, they got married on Valentine's Day. And they were married 50 years. So it's a special day for our family," said Sherie White.
Their blended family includes three sons and an 11-year-old daughter, who's credited with convincing the couple it was time to tie the knot.
"I love her with all of my heart. I couldn't imagine anyone else. She's the love of my life," said Jason White.
The Whites said they will be honeymooning in Vegas.
The bride says she's been watching the weather forecasts for the past month. After the cold and wet start to the week, Friday's weather turned out to be perfect for a beach wedding.

Pizza cooks have about ten simple variables to manage. Simple, but multiple. I would go with one practice run to get it stabilized at 350 shut it down and then cook a pork tenderloin or spatchcock chicken. Pizza after you have some cooks under your belt, can control everything and have the hang of researching on the forum.becox87 said:
Is a pizza a good cook to start with? I got the place setter and pizza stone thrown in for free. I am ordering an AR next week, still trying to figure out which set up I want though.
mine is on a paver on my deck right now after my table burned down last week. you can get going and I recommend you do right away.
I think @irishDevil would tell you the same thing. and as we all know, that is all that matters.

Firstly, I'm not much of a reader I rather watch movies/shows. But other than those books I was forced to read while In school, I've read a couple books for fun like "you don't know me", "lord of the flies" , "holes"....
Top movie genre is comedy/romance type, action, and Disney/Pixar. But I'll watch just about anything except gory movies(least favorite). Adam sandler movies and will smith movies are my tops.
Shows well my top favorite is "How I met your mother", then "Friends", "Prison Break", "Psych", "The O.C.", "One Tree Hill", "House", "Smallville", "Green Arrow", "Burn Notice", "White Collar" .....and the list goes on and on. (I also enjoy watching Anime)
Music depends on my mood or what I'm doing. Rock, rap, country, regge, Latin, Pretty much all types except not too crazy about heavy metal.
As far as food well that's the way to my heart ;) I eat just about anything but sea food is my least favorite. Mango is my weakness.
Family & Friends
Cell phone
Food (especially Mangos!)
Si hablas español that's a big plus. ;)

First of all: thank you so much, nightradio, for making pixilang available. I've only just started playing around with it this weekend, and so far it seems awesome!
And now to my total beginners question:
Is there a way to record audio from mic/line in? The only mention of anything related I can find in the manual is enable_audio_input(), but I suspect that won't take me all the way..
I'd be extremely greatful for any pointers in the right direction!

We are now in a one-year countdown to establish a new approach to globalization. In September 2005, world leaders will meet at the UN to review the progress made since the Millennium Assembly in September 2000, when they pledged to support a set of ambitious objectives - the Millennium Development Goals - to help the world's poorest people escape poverty, hunger, disease, and illiteracy.
Setting goals was the easy part. When they return next fall, world leaders must decide on how to achieve them. Fortunately, a proposal by UK Chancellor Gordon Brown might provide the needed global breakthrough.
Here is the problem: globalization offers people everywhere the chance to escape extreme poverty, but it is not working in many parts of the developing world. While China and India grow rapidly, most of Africa is stagnating. Similarly, large parts of Latin America and Central Asia are experiencing rising, not falling, rates of poverty.
In most cases, geography plays an important role in success or failure. The big development success stories are places like Shanghai, port cities with ready access to world markets. The biggest development failures tend to be in rural areas far from the coast. Communities living in mountainous areas, such as in the Andes, or Central Asia, or the highlands of East Africa, are especially isolated.

Originally appeared in print as Addressing Standard for Preserving Issues for Appellate Review
What's being said
This article lacks any serious critical perspective on the decision being discussed; one might have expected more from a publication as significant as the New York Law Journal. The authors state:
"The court agreed that the statute cannot be applied to any benefit or injury, no matter how slight, but the court found that reputational damage was a sufficient form of injury for purposes of the statute. Accordingly, the court sustained the judgment with respect to the counts arising out of defendant's impersonating emails intended to harm the reputation of scholars who disagreed with his father."
All sorts of problems are concealed by this bland summary of the court's decision. Was the jury instructed on reputational damage? Apparently not. So, how do we get to the "accordingly"? Is the court substituting its own judgment for that of the jury? Furthermore, what exactly do we mean by reputational damage here? What if Golb intended to expose the perceived misconduct of the academics involved? Would that be the same as an intent to harm their reputations?
Yet another surprising omission: short shrift is given to the discussion of criminal libel and the First Amendment in the dissenting opinion, and not a word is said about the phenomenon of Internet satire and impersonation, or about any of its literary antecedents. Surely it is no minor matter that with this case, satirical online impersonation has suddenly been criminalized in an American state. All satire aims to damage the reputation of its victims: hardly an adequate justification for this peculiar decision.

(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. Senate is poised to approve a dramatic expansion of the AmeriCorps national community service program. Conservatives who oppose the measure say it is an attempt to greatly expand government's role in providing community services by replacing charitable volunteers with paid government workers.
Senators voted 74-14 Monday to take up the Serve America Act, legislation that would more than triple the size of the AmeriCorps program over the next eight years, expanding its current 75,000 positions to 250,000.
Last week, a similar bill that would add 175,000 participants to the program passed in the House by a vote of 321-105.
President Barack Obama said at the time that expanding AmeriCorps is "timely."
"At this moment of economic crisis, when so many people are in need of help and so much needs to be done, this could not be more urgent," Obama said. "It is up to every one of us to do his or her small part to make the world a better place."
But conservatives such as Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C) call the expansion nothing more than "the federal government reaching further into the world of civil society" -- an arena they say is best left to the local level and to organizations such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, United Way and Knights of Columbus.
"Government charity is anathema to what our Founders intended and what our Constitution stands for," DeMint said on the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon.
"Civil society works because it's everything that government is not – it's small, it's personal, it's responsive, it's accountable," he said. "Civil society must be protected from anything that makes it more like government."
AmeriCorps, which combined the Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) program and the National Civil Community Corps into one program, was launched in 1993 when President Bill Clinton signed the National and Community Service Trust Act into law.
More than 500,000 have participated in the program since its inception, completing public service projects ranging from building houses to teaching inner-city youth.
But DeMint said the proposed expansion of AmeriCorps would make its parent, the Corporation for National and Community Service, the 14th-largest company in the world, in terms of number of employees.
The South Carolina senator also said the federal government's recent behavior casts doubt on whether it would be able to effectively manage such a large institution.
"Despite the good intentions of this bill, we are creating a huge new government entity that will be unmanageable and violates some of the core principles of our civil society," DeMint said. "This bill is everything wrong with how Congress sees the world."
The expansion would be costly. The Senate bill, which is co-sponsored by Sens. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), is projected to cost $5.7 billion over the next five years. The House version would cost an estimated $6 billion during the same period.
Last month's stimulus plan (the Reinvestment and Recovery Act) devoted $201 million in funding for the Corporation for National Community Service to support expansion of AmeriCorps programs.
AmeriCorps participants currently receive up to $4,725 at the completion of year-long service to help cover the costs of college or pay back student loans, according to the AmeriCorps Web site.
Both the Senate and House bills would increase the maximum award to $5,350 – the same amount as a Pell Grant scholarship for college students.
Most AmeriCorps participants, the majority of whom are between the ages of 18 and 26, also receive an average living stipend of $11,800 during their service period.
AmeriCorps has had its share of financial struggles. Earlier this decade, the program was accused of not knowing how many volunteers it had enlisted in its program and, consequently, how much funding was available to help pay members the stipend they had been promised.
In June of 2003, AmeriCorps said it would only be able to fund half of its volunteers.
During a Committee on Appropriations hearing in the spring of 2003, Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) chastised the group's leaders and referred to AmeriCorps as the "Enron of non-profits."
Mikulski, however, said this week that AmeriCorps has improved, and she supports the current plan to expand the program.
Matthew Spalding, director of the Center of American Studies at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank, said that while many of the group's past problems have since been corrected, the idea of tripling the size of any bureaucratic organization is a recipe for further financial troubles.
"We need to separate voluntary service – which we strongly support – and service that is sponsored and instituted by the government," Spalding told CNSNews.com. "That's something very different and something that, in our opinion, we need to oppose."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), meanwhile, has threatened to call the Senate in for a weekend session if a final vote on the measure doesn't take place by Friday.

Sequestration & reality II
If we can't cut 2.5 percent, $85 billion, out of the federal budget, is there any hope?
When it is all said and done, we will be lucky if the budget is cut by half that amount. That is about 8 percent of the federal deficit, so even if that much is cut, we will still go in the hole by almost $1 trillion more.
At the end of the year, $16 trillion in debt will be $17 trillion in debt. Is there no hope to save our country?

He is the pro-gun-control mayor of New York City and he is heavily armed - with money.
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg kicked off an ad campaign in several states Monday, aimed at pressuring the United States Senate to require background checks for all gun purchases.
Just a few days after the massacre at Newtown Connecticut, CBS News asked Bloomberg why a city mayor was diving into national politics.
"I live in America and I'm a human being. Aren't we supposed to - I don't know what your religion teaches you - mine teaches you to take care of each other. And America - read the constitution - we're all equal and we're all Americans," he said.
The mayor has just announced he will put $12 million of his own money where his mouth is.
At first glance, Bloomberg's television ads look like NRA commercials for gun rights.
In one, a man holding a gun and sitting on the back of a pick-up truck says, "My dad taught me to hunt, and I'll teach my kids."
He goes on to say, "Closing loopholes will stop criminals and the dangerously mentally ill from buying guns. That protects my rights and my family."
But the commercials are actually part of a campaign paid for by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The ads, running in 13 states, are meant to push Congress for stricter background checks to close loopholes in the current laws.
"What you are doing is you're getting access with this money to tell the public the facts," said Bloomberg.
This is not the first time the gun control lobby has tried to counter the mom-and-apple-pie style advocacy the NRA uses to support the rights of gun owners but it is the first time the NRA has faced an opponent who could outspend them.Newtown residents field NRA robo calls on gun control
White House says it doesn't support national gun registry
Bloomberg, mayor group tout big gun control push
NRA CEO: Bloomberg "can't buy America"
According to Forbes, Bloomberg is the seventh richest man in the United States with an estimated wealth of $27 billion.
CBS News asked the NRA to comment Monday, they declined, but executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Wayne LaPierre spoke out on Sunday.
"He's going to find out this is a country of the people, by the people, and for the people and he can't spend enough of his $27 billion to try to impose his will on the American public," said LaPierre.
Mayor Bloomberg fired back on Monday.
"I don't think anybody can buy America but in the context of they've spent a $100 million and I've spent $10 million ... when you were a kid, there was something about throwing stones if you lived in glass houses," he said.
The ads are targeted at 13 states where Mayor Bloomberg believes senators, both Republican and Democrats, need a push from their constituents to vote for gun control legislation coming before the Senate.

EO Foot Spray Reviews
calmingBest way to describe this product is "Calming". Honestly, after your toes are barking at you after a long day at work... few sprays of this stuff is truly calming. The fact that it has tea tree oil (which is a natural antibacterial essential oil) helps immensely as well. This is not a cure for any foot fungus or any other sort of problem. It's truly a luxury item for your feet where you get a nice calm, cooled feeling and that "burn" is instantly gone. Love the stuff. — 4 years, 1 month agorouxblonde | 92 reviews

"People are not wearing enough hats," said one man in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, and it's true. Look around, and you'll see that very few people wear any hat other than the uglo-American baseball caps which tend to dominate the American bourgeois scene.
I remember my great-grandmother's funeral, which took place when I was ten years old. She was born in 1890 and lived to be 98. They buried her in one of her finest hats. I remember thinking the whole thing quite strange. "Oh she just loved hats," was the explanation from everyone. This only served to give me the impression that my great-grandmother had some kind of strange obsession with these funky headpieces.
One doesn't have to go quite that far back, however. On a recent trip to visit my parents, I showed off my new fedora and was told to check with my grandmother, that my late grandfather used to wear such hats and that they might still be around somewhere. I couldn't wear my dead grandfather's hats; this seems somehow wrong. I was surprised to hear this, however; I could never remember him in a hat. Of course, I was nonetheless glad, for clearly my grandfather was man of good taste.
But my parents, aunts and uncles, and other family friends of the baby boomer generation never wore hats. What happened? I was sipping coffee with a colleague the other day who mentioned that there's a theory that the reason people are not wearing enough hats has everything to do with the fact that John F. Kennedy did not wear one. This explains a lot; it's also the number one reason always to wear a hat: It's always fun to give a good poke in the eye to the JFK personality cult.
Happily, it seems as though those of us who are young enough to have suffered the cultural errors of the baby boomer generation have seen fit to change course on this whole hat thing. On a recent trip to the hat store, I was helped by someone no more than five years my senior, and he was perhaps younger than I. I see young men all the time in cool fedoras and Greek fisherman's hats and other such dignifying headgear. The tables are turning.
But why should you jump on the bandwagon? Well, in addition to the aforementioned rejection of JFK-ness, there are many good reasons to wear a hat.
First of all, hats keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A wool fisherman and a straw fedora are indispensable to a man's wardrobe. This is particularly true if you're bald, as I am. This leads right into the next point: When a bald man wears a hat, he looks ten years younger. It's a fabulous piece of vanity. This is even more of a help if you have an egg-shaped head: the hat brings all the proportions back into line quite nicely. It helps, too, to choose a hat that complements the eyes.
Wearing a hat is the mark of a well-dressed man. I have found many times that when I'm wearing a hat I get more respect from strangers on the street, and servers in restaurants are on their toes. They must think to themselves, "Surely a man with a hat like this has places to go and things to do. We don't want to keep him waiting."
I have also found that wearing a hat puts me in a better mood. It has all the uplifting qualities of coffee without any of the teeth-staining side effects. I suppose this should be obvious. Anyone would be happy when they're wearing something that they know makes them look really damn good. There is another aspect of this hat-wearing pleasure, however: It really annoys pragmatists, those people most to be despised. They hate all things of true culture and beauty, including hats. This should serve as a reminder that not everyone will admire your love of hats, but this is to be expected. All marks of greatness are resisted by the militantly mediocre.
Friends, Fall is almost upon us, and it will soon be time to put the summer hats away for another year. This is a perfect opportunity to go out and search for a nice warm hat for your walks through the Autumn leaves. In fact, I think I just may go shopping today.
And remember that every time you put on a hat, you're declaring independence from the personality cult of JFK.

The Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park Advisory Council and YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities representatives recently came to agreement on a ground lease and operating agreement for a 12-plus acre piece of property on the north side of the park where new facilities will be developed for day camp activities.
City and county staff joined council members during a two-hour long meeting Nov. 1 with Brian Kirk, the YMCA's executive director of building services, and Thomas LaSalle, president and CEO of the LaSalle Group Limited, a Minneapolis-based consultant that's representing the YMCA with its planning.
During the initial and most potentially sticky part of their morning discussion, all parties eventually agreed that within the lease agreement, the YMCA Day Camp Manitou's summer month operational period would be established according to a school calendar set by the state legislature or the Minnesota Department of Education.
Wright County Commissioner Pat Sawatzke said he was primarily concerned about the YMCA asking for above and beyond what was originally included in the 99-year lease documents. During dicussion, Sawatkze made it clear he was opposed to a written 99-year guarantee on a use window of seven months. "A three-month summer camp for children is what we provided you," he said.
Kirk and LaSalle suggested that the operating agreement, not the lease, be amended to take care of operations outside of the summer months.
"We gave you all the language you wanted, and just asked if we would be able to change the rest of the year through the operating agreement," LaSalle said after an extended period of back-and-forth discussion.
Mayor Clint Herbst said adding that change would enable the advisory council to recommend that Wright County and the city of Monticello approve the lease under discussion.
Attorneys from all three parties would review the documents presented to better define and determine wording of the operations time element within the agreement. The lease term will remain at 99 years.
See this week's print edition of the Monticello Times for the complete story.

By Hayden Dingman and Brad Chacos, PCWorld | Jun 13, 2016 3:00 PM PT Share All Slides SLIDEFEATURED PRODUCTS Ubisoft invades E3 Just Dance 2017 Ghost Recon Wildlands South Park: The Fractured But Whole The Division updates Eagle Flight VR Star Trek: Bridge Crew For Honor Grow Up Trials of the Blood Dragon Assassin's Creed movie Watch Dogs 2 Steep Share this Slideshow Direct link: See larger image Ubisoft invades E3 After the frantic pace of Microsoft's E3 event and the PC Gaming Show, Ubisoft's E3 event was a relaxing change of pace. That's not to say it was slow, though—we got a peek at new Division expansions, updates on Ghost Recon Wildlands and South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and even a glimpse of a new multiplayer Star Trek virtual reality experience where you man the bridge of the Enterprise with your pals.Let's dig in! YouTube.com Just Dance 2017 Watch this video on YouTube Ubisoft's still making its dancing game, with a new iteration for the new year, creatively titled Just Dance 2017. It's coming to PC, it'll teach you to dance.And that's what Ubisoft led off its E3 conference with. Bold choice. YouTube.com Ghost Recon Wildlands Watch this video on YouTube The pace picked up immediately after though, with our first look at Ghost Recon Wildlands since the previous E3. The CG-story trailer looks like equal parts modern-day Fast and the Furious mixed with Breaking Bad or whatever—all explosions and flipping-cars and cocaine smuggling.The game looks like it could be an interesting resurrection for Ghost Recon, though I take issue with Ubisoft saying it's "the first military shooter set in a massive open world." Guess they've never played Arma before.The gameplay demo moved pretty seamlessly between all four players as they took on a mission together—some going in stealthily, some shooting, some controlling a drone and later a helicopter. But it's hard to take it seriously with Ubisoft's typically-cheesy faux-voiceover layered on top. The game will launch on March 7, 2017. YouTube.com South Park: The Fractured But Whole Watch this video on YouTube Did you forget Ubisoft is making a sequel to South Park: The Stick of Truth? I forgot Ubisoft was making a sequel to South Park: The Stick of Truth.Matt and Trey got on the stage at Ubisoft's conference to share a handful of new details on South Park: The Fracture But Whole. A South Park send-up of super heroes in an era where comic books reign supreme over our culture? Yeah, this one could be great. Look for it in the typically quiet month of December, 2016. YouTube.com The Division updates Watch this video on YouTube Well, I thought we'd hear more about The Division's new Underground expansion during Ubisoft's press conference after it was teased during Microsoft's E3 event earlier. No surprise, I was right—though much less than I expected. We didn't even see the trailer.Instead, Ubisoft revealed another expansion, Survival, which (as you might've guessed) implements survival features into the post-apocalyptic shooter-grind. Apparently, "The storm doesn't care if you live or die."Last and least, Ubisoft is giving players three costumes based on Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and Splinter Cell. See larger image Eagle Flight VR Ubisoft's first VR demo, Eagle Flight, has been featured at a few events now. The title says it all: You play as an eagle, flying through and above the streets of Paris and trying not to get killed by an enemy eagle's screeches. Steering is done by tilting your head back and forth.It's a pretty cool demo, though every time I've played I've admittedly ended up queasy after fifteen or twenty minutes—especially when playing competitively, where speed is key.Most interesting bit: Aisha Tyler saying it will be "On Oculus and all other VR platforms." So far I'd assumed it was Oculus exclusive, but that makes it sound like it's coming to Vive as well. YouTube.com Star Trek: Bridge Crew Watch this video on YouTube I'm personally much more intrigued by Ubisoft's new Star Trek VR experience, titled Bridge Crew. Despite the big to-do on Ubisoft's stage, this one was actually leaked a few days ago and then confirmed by former Trek stars Karl Urban, Levar Burton, and Jeri Ryan.You're in a simulation of an Enterprise-esque starship, and the game is mostly about four people coordinating to do all the button-pressing stuff you'd do as a crew member. Drop the shields, fire phasers, et cetera. Does it seem a bit thin? Sure. Is the nerdy Star Trek fan in me still excited? Oh yes. YouTube.com For Honor Watch this video on YouTube I thought I had a handle on For Honor—it's just a medieval combat game where knights fight samurai fight vikings, right? But then Ubisoft showed off this weird lore-heavy trailer and uh...why? Did someone really need to justify why all these factions would fight each other?Apparently so. There's a whole singleplayer mode coming to the game, it looks like—a singleplayer game that seems suspiciously similar to Xbox One launch title Ryse. We'll see how it goes when the game launches Valentine's Day (February 14) of 2017. YouTube.com Grow Up Watch this video on YouTube The tiny experimental game Grow Home, about a red robot named BUD trying to climb to space, was a surprise hit in 2015. Enough of a hit, apparently, to warrant a sequel titled Grow Up. Bigger space to explore, more tricks up its sleeve. We'll see if this little robot warrants a second outing, though I'm personally still waiting for another Valiant Hearts… YouTube.com Trials of the Blood Dragon Watch this video on YouTube "Trials and Blood Dragon made a baby together." Say no more, Ubisoft. The trailer for Trials of the Blood Dragon is insane—a mix of G.I. Joe-style animation, '80s toy commercial live action, and actual game footage.And that game footage is just as weird. It's the Trials bike-physics nonsense we're used to, but set in an '80s action-figure world. Best of all: Ubisoft did one of those "It's available now!" things. So, it's already released by the time you read this. See larger image Assassin's Creed movie The Assassin's Creed movie exists. Ubisoft talked about it. Smart money's still on it being terrible. I guess we'll know in December. YouTube.com Watch Dogs 2 Watch this video on YouTube Last week's Watch Dogs 2 reveal pretty much told us everything we need to know: The game's set in San Francisco, it's quite a bit goofier than the original, and it's set to release in November.But we got a lengthy gameplay demo during Ubisoft's press conference, with our tech-savvy protagonist breaking into a building to stealthily download evidence, completely blowing it, and getting shot a million times before riding a convenient zipline down to street level. There's also a character who wears a mask with LED panels for eyes. Is this...is this what hacking is like?I don't know. San Francisco looks beautiful, at least—and we made it out without a doom-and-gloom speech about the end of the world. YouTube.com Steep Watch this video on YouTube Last up, Ubisoft unveiled Steep—once again throwing around the "new genre" designation it used with For Honor last year, regardless of whether it was warranted. It's a skiing/snowboarding/wingsuit/parachuting/random extreme sports game taking place in the Alps.It looks pretty cool, but there's no getting around the fact that Snow is already doing a lot of this stuff. And it's an admittedly weird way for Ubisoft to close out the show.

The insurance claim process takes 15 days from the time you report the missing items to us. We highly recommend that you insure your package. If you decide to not take insurance on your package, Skiviez will not be responsible for merchandise that gets lost or damaged in transit.
