Obviously never happen... no way TPTB allows this much churn midseason. But we honestly wouldn't be much worse (except for the whole "guys not practicing" thing) and we'd dump a ton of bad contracts and get fun blocks for the future. Ok, first things first.
JO/Hulk/Tinsley to Miami
J.Williams/R.Davis/M.Blount/our 2009 2nd/future first
Normally I wouldn't like this move except for the other stuff I've got going. This clears the deck for Indy, and Jermaine shuts it down for the rest of the year, meaning he doesn't screw up Miami's draft and he's back at full strength next year. We'd buy out Williams and Davis immediately. Miami wins big on talent, but I can't find anything else I'd want. Cuts about 3mil off the cap.
Granger/Murphy to Portland
Webster/Jack/Pryz/1st/our 2008 2nd
Normally I wouldn't like this either, given that Portland gets the best player in the deal. But we get more talent overall, which is the name of the game in this scenario. Plus we shed Murph's contract and snag a decent pick and cut about a mil off our cap
Utah/Memphis 3-way
We give Marquis Daniels, Jeff Foster, Ike Diogu
We get Okur/Millsap/Lowry/NY's future 1st
Mem gives Mike Miller, Kyle Lowry
Mem gets Daniels/Diogu/Almond/Fesenko
Ut gives Mehmet Okur, Paul Millsap, Kyrylo Fesenko, Morris Almond, NY's future 1st
Ut gets M.Miller, J.Foster
Good trade for all three, I think. UT gets rid of Okur and adds two players that will fit right in and compete. Memphis gets 2 prospects, roster balancing, and some cap relief. We give up a lot, but get Millsap/Lowry/pick. Plus if we got Jack, I'd immediately try moving Lowry for a pick and leave the backup slot to Diener. Even if we keep Lowry, we cut 3mil off our cap.

Barack Obama Promised Lousy T-Shirt
Back to Tea Party T-Shirts
Welcome to the Anti Obama t-shirts section.
Barack Obama Promised:
An end to no bid contracts above $25,000. Allow for imported prescription drugs. Five days of public comment before he signs a bill. Pay for the national service plan without increasing debt. Reduce earmarks to 1994 levels. No tax increases for families making less than $250,000. Negotiate health care reform in televised public sessions.
...but all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
Of course fans of Conservative t-shirts may disagree.

Why I Ditched Mac for Linux
the article seems to be not there, and isnt mac os X a version of linux?
I have alsways been a win/pc user myself. I was working a tech support job around the release of the osX. I have to say macs can be great for some people. Its pretty cut and dry, it works or it doesnt. if you plug in that hot new periferal and it doesnt work though, just put it back in the box and take it back to the store, cause your pretty much done. If your just doing graphics/multimedia work mac is the way to go, everyone else should probly just get a windows pc. If mac gets up to like 50% market share and has more software and stuff available I might change my tune but last I looked they havent gotten more than 2-3% share since before the pc existed (maybe that changed with the ipod ). I do love the mac vs. pc commercials.

RightScale's AWS gems provide Ruby interfaces to five key Amazon Web Services: CloudFront, EC2, S3, SQS, and SDB. The gems use Amazon's REST and query interfaces to provide full programmatic control. An optional HTTP layer retries and clears transient errors.
These Gems have been used in production by RightScale since February 2007 and are continuously improved and updated with any new features offered by Amazon. When we started with AWS we had no choice but to write our own Gems and we're glad to make them available to the Ruby community. The design goals for these gems are:
- Full programmmatic access to CloudFront, EC2, S3, SQS, and SDB.
- Complete error handling: all operations check for errors and report complete error information by raising an AwsError.
- Persistent HTTP connections with network-level retry layer using RightHttpConnection. This includes socket timeouts and retries.
- HTTP-level retry layer. Certain (user-adjustable) HTTP errors returned by Amazon's services are classified as temporary errors. These errors are automaticallly retried using exponentially increasing intervals. The number of retries is user-configurable.
- Fast REXML-based parsing of responses (as fast as a pure Ruby solution allows).
- Uses libxml (if available) for faster response parsing.
- Support for large S3 list operations. Buckets and key subfolders containing many (> 1000) keys are listed in entirety. Operations based on list (like bucket clear) work on arbitrary numbers of keys.
- Support for streaming GETs from S3, and streaming PUTs to S3 if the data source is a file.
- Support for 5GB objects in S3, upload using "Expect:100-continue" header.
- Support for single-threaded usage, multithreaded usage, as well as usage with multiple AWS accounts.
- Test suite (requires AWS account to do "live" testing).
RDoc for the right_aws and right_http_connection gems is available on RubyForge at http://rightaws.rubyforge.org. Downloads are from the RubyForge project page.
These Gems are supported by RightScale Inc, please email firstname.lastname@example.com with requests for help or suggestions. We will do our best to respond to bug reports quickly, of course we always appreciate patches!

Firewatch Devs Issue DMCA Against PewDiePie After Latest Incident, Get Their Game Review-Bombed
Sep 19, 2017 | 7 Comments
Ever wonder what goes on in the break room of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale? Adult Swim's Robot Chicken team has created a 60-second spot for the recently-released mascot brawler from Sony.
The spot gives fans an inside look at the iconic characters as they spend their morning in the company break room following a series of matches against one another. Robot Chicken's hilarious take on the fighting game debuted last night, but Sony has released the full video today.
Check out the full video below and let us know what you think.

With all the ways Help One Child has aided at-risk youth over the years, staff and board members could have easily spent several hours of the nonprofit's 20th-anniversary banquet touting their accomplishments. Instead, they used the spring event to launch another ambitious program.
The Los Altos-based Help One Child announced that it would be the San Francisco Peninsula hub of Safe Families for Children, a national movement designed to deflect children from foster care. An alternative to child welfare custody, the program provides a safety net for families in crisis that have nowhere else to turn by offering their children a temporary place to live.
"It's a very natural extension of what we already do," said Susan Herman, Help One Child's executive director. "We are already recruiting families to open their homes to at-risk youth. We are already supporting those families who have adopted or opened their home to these children."
Serving Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, Help One Child assists at-risk children in and out of the foster-care system by recruiting, training and supporting those willing to house or otherwise help them. When the faith-based organization asked people attending the banquet to champion Safe Families for Children at their churches, Herman said they did so enthusiastically. The next step was to work with the churches and the counties to create referral networks.
"If you're a single mom who has lost your job and there's no room at a shelter for you and your children, you can come to Help One Child as a sponsor of the Safe Families for Children program for help," she said. "We will find a family supported by their church that will open their home for no compensation and care for those children until the parent or parents are able to complete their endeavor, whatever it might be. Maybe somebody has to go to alcohol or drug rehab, or maybe there's some short-term criminal sentence that needs to be completed."
The program offers what Herman called "nonresidential placement" as well.
"Sometimes a family needs extended help – taking their child to school early in the morning or making them dinner – and those kinds of connections have been made," she said.
Over the summer, Help One Child connected volunteers with 11-year-old Alex.
"His father just needed some extra help that normally a family member would provide, but he was alone – the mom was no longer in the picture," Herman said. "We must have had 15 people offer to have (Alex) into their homes for dinner. Two people offered to bring him to youth group activities at their church during the week while his dad was working. Someone sent him to camp and we took him to our camp. His summer was filled with people inviting him to join their activities. Every time we saw him, he told us how grateful he was."
Help One Child recently ramped up its Supper Club program. The staff organizes volunteers to cook meals for youth living in nine group homes and two receiving homes (for emergency placement) throughout the two counties.

The Maclyn Parker Swagger Award, an award given to individuals who exemplify strong advocacy in economic development throughout our community, was given to two recipients.
Mike Packnett, president and chief executive officer of Parkview Hospital, was honored on behalf of Allen County. With 8,300 employees, Parkview Health serves communities throughout northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio and is the largest employer in northeast Indiana.
Arthur Snyder, president of Indiana Tech, was honored on behalf of the city of Fort Wayne.
Indiana Tech's enrollment has more than doubled in the past 10 years, and the university now serves more than 7,000 students including 2,000 at the main campus, 1600 E. Washington Blvd. The university employs about 300 full- and part-time staff and faculty, as well as many more adjunct faculty who share their workplace expertise in the classroom.
In March, Parkview Health opened the new Parkview Regional Medical Center near Interstate 69 and Dupont Road. The state-of-the-art medical center is designed to improve access to quality health care for the entire region. A $536 million investment, over 3 million man-hours were worked with more than 3,600 construction workers on the job site over the course of the project.
"Our goal for the Parkview Regional Medical Center was to create a health care facility like no other in the region," said Packnett, according to a news release. "We are proud of the staff and physicians who provide excellent care there every day. We are also proud of the economic impact this facility has had on our community through construction and even now as we continue to grow. We also continue to invest in Parkview Hospital Randallia with new services being offered on that campus as well."
Indiana Tech will open the doors to its new law school in 2013. The new school will be a significant milestone for Indiana Tech and Fort Wayne in attracting more talent . Throughout Snyder's 10-year tenure, the campus has had a stream of new construction projects including residence halls and athletic facilities.
The total investment for Indiana Tech's latest construction projects is more than $50 million.
"I am very grateful for this honor because I see it as recognition of Indiana Tech's efforts to help this community thrive," Snyder said, according to the news release. "Our growth, including the opening of the law school next year, will continue to bring talent and resources to Fort Wayne and Allen County for decades to come while our graduates become highly qualified assets to the workforce."
The Swagger Awards' gold-level sponsors were Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority, Parkview Hospital, and Indiana Tech. Silver sponsors were NIPSCO and General Motors.

I also float back and forth between the two depending on winds, distances to basket, and my putting skills on that particular day. I catch hell on my local course from the others in my slill level.

This is Nightlive
Anchorman Johnny Hansom and his team present this weekly Lifestyle News show where 'they are the news'
CHANGE - You Can't Believe In. This is Nightlive is a new half-hour weekly show beginning on Monday 5th January.
Nightlive, best-dressed current-affairs team in the 2008 VIP Style Awards, is in its fourth year and heading into an uncertain future.
Lead by Johnny Hansom (born: Declan Foley), an increasingly unhinged former DJ, the show - the first from RTÉ's Lifestyle News Department - is struggling to find the right tone as the country sinks into recession.
Into this world comes Una Og Nic Ni Suillicaint, a beautiful new co-host with a lofty news agenda. Unfortunately, she's chosen a news team as dysfunctional as the stories it reports. Joining Johnny are entertainment correspondent Jackie Byrne-Daly, sports reporter Trevor Corocran and weatherman Mike 'Cloudy Walsh.

Welcome to the Joshua's Heart Foundation. We are a small group of people with a big dream – to end world hunger. Did you know that there are over 49 million people in the U.S. alone struggling to put food on the table for their families? Although food insecurity is harmful to any individual, it can be particularly devastating for children. Good nutrition at an early age is important for future physical and mental health. With the help of people just like you, we can fight hunger and end the cycle of poverty.
Our mission is to empower those in need, to improve their quality of life. We can do this by providing items of basic necessity, including food and water, which every human needs in order to survive. We also engage and educate communities at home and abroad about how to take steps towards fighting hunger and poverty on a global scale. Along the way, we hope to inspire individuals to join us on our mission, and help each other.
How we got started
Four-year-olds can be creative and enthusiastic problem solvers with imaginative ideas for how to make things happen. At that point in their lives, development is unique and complex, and Joshua Williams was no different. He was greatly influenced by factors in his community and the experiences he had. That was over 10 years ago.
Today, Joshua's Heart Foundation has over 10,000 youth volunteers and over 4,000 registered adult volunteers, but we still need more help. By getting involved and lending your helping hands you can make the difference in the life of those that are less fortunate.

Topic: Newly Diagnosed
Hi! My name is Jayne and my husband, Ken (57) was diagnosed with CC in January 2013. This process began the week of Thanksgiving 2012 with a possible diagnosis of Lymphoma. After two endoscopic biopsies of a gastric lymph node as well as one on the periportal, the results indicated that lyphoma was not the proper diagnosis and further tests/procedures needed to occur to find the original source of the cancer. What we did know at that point was that it was already in an advanced stage although he was not having any symptoms. A third endoscopic biopsy was performed on the pancreas (no tumors in the pancreas), a colonoscopy (negative), and another MRI of the abdomen (liver, kidneys, bladder), his case was shared with the Pathology Board at The Ohio State University, The James Cancer Hospital. Finally, we received the diagnosis of CC Stage 4 and was referred to Dr. Wu, oncologist at The James.
Ken has had his first chemo treatment two weeks ago and tolerated it very well. They were only able to give him gemcitabine because the other drug (I believe is cisplaten) causes tinitis which he already has. They have requested insurance approval of something else (not sure what yet) and we are hoping it will be approved and available for his second chemo treatment this Tuesday (2/12).
I have so many questions in my head which I try to get down on paper. I did ask the doctor, the first time we met, what life expectancy is for this cancer and she hesitantly said average is 1 year. At that point, my brain shut down and I couldn't ask another question. My first question is, is 1 year with chemo or without?
My husband could not have surgery first due to the lymph node involvement. My second question is, can he ever have surgery? I've read your discussion boards and many people have commented that the only way to get a "cure" is to have surgery.
I am thankful I found this website and hope that in the days ahead I can get information from all of you out there who are also dealing with this horrible disease. I have one really stupid question for anyone or everyone dealing with this: (Brace yourself) Did any of you drink a lot of milk plus eat a lot of dairy prior to getting this diagnosis?
Living one day at a time!

USC center Omar Oraby scored 11 points but played only 12 minutes against UCLA. It was odd because he made 5 of 6 shots while the rest of the team struggled.
"Yeah, I was (surprised) but that was the coach's decision," Oraby said. "I was having a very good game."
USC interim coach Bob Cantu said he limited Oraby's minutes because he wanted a quicker lineup to try and force turnovers once the Trojans fell behind by 21 points at halftime.
"We went smaller in the second half," Cantu said. "We could have definitely used his offense."

FIREFIGHTERS tackled a blaze that threatened to engulf a historic farmhouse near Alresford last night.
Some 50 firefighters crews worked throughout the night to save North End Farmhouse in Cheriton.
The fire service was alerted by a 999 call just after 9.05pm, reporting the roof was well alight on the property on North End Lane.
The first firefighters on the scene discovered the fire had spread from the roof into the first floor of the T-shaped two-storey house.
Jets and hose reels were used to tackle the blaze, along with the aerial ladder platform, and crews managed to salvage much of the house's contents.
The roof and first floor were left badly damaged by fire, while around half the ground floor was also damaged by water. The stop message was received just after 4.30am.
The house is believed to have had eight people inside, four adults and four children. No-one was hurt.
Almost 50 firefighters from Winchester, Alresford, Bishop's Waltham, Eastleigh, Sutton Scotney, Droxford and Basingstoke were needed to fight the flames.
The cause of the blaze will be investigated today (May 26) but is not thought to be suspicious.

Jeremy Kreiling, 25, of Sutherland, was convicted Monday of misdemeanor third-degree sexual assault and was sentenced to 180 days in the county jail.
Kreiling was arrested Nov. 8 after a teenage girl, then 15, told investigators that Kreiling assaulted her two year earlier while she was helping babysit on New Years Eve. While Kreiling was out on bond after posting 10% of $500,000, but was arrested and jailed April 29 on a charge of domestic assault and strangulation. He allegedly choked his wife so hard she was dizzy and disoriented and had trouble talking to investigators.
According to a sheriffs spokesman, Kreiling also held up a rifle and made threatening remarks. He refused to talk with deputies about the incident and was jailed.
In court April 30, Lincoln County Judge Kent Turnbull set his bond for that charge at $10,000.
The prosecution of both Virgil Apodaca Sr. and Virgil Apodaca Jr. saw was delayed again.
Virgil Sr. is out of jail on a personal recognizance bond. His kidneys are reportedly failing.
The father and son are charged in the alleged rapes of three teenage women a year ago.
Virgil Sr. is charged with two counts of aiding and abetting a class II felony and two counts of intentionally delivering a hazardous drug, as well as being an habitual criminal.
Virgil Jr. is still housed at the county jail on two separate first degree sexual assault charges, each carrying a $100,000 bond.
Both men are scheduled for another court appearance on July 1.
Kenneth Reed Jr., 21, of North Platte, pled guilty Monday to carrying a concealed weapon, resisting arrest and attempted possession of a controlled substance.
Reed was arrested Feb. 9 along with three others when a police officer saw a parked car atop a loading ramp inside the Nebraska Department of Roads yard near 13th and Buffalo.
In a plea deal, charges of possession of a firearm during a drug violation, possession of a weapon during a felony, obstructing police, possession of marijuana, trespassing and failure to appear were dropped.
Reed waived his preliminary hearing and Lincoln County District Judge Richard Birch ordered a pre-sentence investigation. Sentencing is set for July 1.
When officers removed Reed from the vehicle a 9 millimeter handgun fell to the ground. During a search of the vehicle, officers found prescription drugs, marijuana and a large kitchen knife in a pouch on the back of the drivers seat.
James Fogg, 19, Jeffery Denson Jr., 21 and Deborah Plunk, 27, all of North Platte, were all in the vehicle. Foggs and Denson were detained without incident but Plunk and Reed resisted officers, according to a police spokesman.
Plunk, Denson and Reed were jailed and Foggs was cited and released.
Jesse Belland, 26, of North Platte, was convicted of fleeing to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, theft, aiding and abetting theft and possession of methamphetamine.
Belland pled no contest to the charge, part of a deal that a charge of habitual criminal would not be filed.
A pre-sentence investigation was ordered and Belland will be back for sentencing on July 1.
At 2:30 a.m. Dec. 25, police responded to a reported stolen car in the 1800 block of West Third.
Charles Lynch said he left his 2006 Hyundai Tiberon warming up outside his house and looked outside to see it leaving his driveway.
And the next morning police received another call about a stolen car in the 900 block of East Third, where a woman left her 2001 Lexus running at the curb to warm up.
Later that day, police traced the Lexus to the Red Cedars trailer court. Belland admitted he was driving the Lexus when the officers were chasing it and investigators determined he was involved in the theft of both vehicles, according to police spokesman Rodney Brown.
The investigation also led to the arrests of Katelyn McKain, 19, of Brady and Chance Ragle, 23, of North Platte.

Краткое описание жилья
|Voorstraat, 3512 AH Utrecht, Нидерланды
|Тип жилья
|ID жилья
You're in the city center the moment you step out of the door. Neude Square is around the corner, a three minute walk from the 'grachten': the Utrecht canals with shops & restaurants, and a five minute walk from our famous tower: De Dom. Bikes can be rented in the street.
Two supermarkets are in the street, and places for great coffee and breakfasts are even closer. There's a coffee machine in the apartment as well. The fully equipped kitchen with fridge, oven, fornace, and all the plates, cutlery and pans you need ensures you can make your own meals, if you want.
The apartment is at the first floor, measures 75 sqm. and consist of a lovely entry-hall, new bathroom, separate toilet, fully equipped kitchen, dining table, living room with TV and DVD, separate bedroom 1 with twin boxspring beds, and in the ensuite-room another two boxpring beds.
Since you're in the very center of Utrecht, all the restaurants, museums, theatres, and any attraction you can think of, are around the corner. This could of course also mean that there might be some outside noise at night.
Utrecht is number 6 in Lonely Planet's top 10 of the world's unsung places:
"Perhaps it's the lure of Amsterdam that leads people to forget Utrecht. Whatever the reason, this graceful city is bizarrely under-visited. Its old town is encircled by a medieval canal, and you can hop on a boat tour to visit the city's bustling, vibrant wharves. Built to connect the canalside with Utrecht's impressive townhouses, today these unique spaces are filled with bohemian cafes, shops, restaurants and bars."
You can easily reach us, it's a ten minute walk from the central railwaystation 'Utrecht CS'.
'Cause you are in the very heart of Utrecht, the busstops are just around the corner.
Utrecht (which is not a part of Amsterdam but a separate city- you can reach Amsterdam by train in 25 minutes) is a great city to visit: take a walk through the old city center, enjoy the canals, or have a climb up the Dom tower. All in walking distance. There are quite a lot of interesting museums as well. We'll be happy to recommend you some.
At the end of the pictures, there's a layout of the apartment.
Got any other questions? Feel free to ask.
Welcome to Utrecht!
Правила ПроживанияPlease do not smoke, and respect the neighbours: don't be to loud. If you're going to party, please do so in one of the great venues around the corner; not in the apartment.
If you use the kitchen, please leave it clean and wash the used dishes and cups.
Please don't make too much noise. No loud music, no parties.
Do not leave food out. Because you're in an old building in the ancient city center, there will be mice in the building. Please help us keep them out of the apartment by not leaving any food (bread, fruit, anything) out in the open. Store everything in the fridge or top cupboards if you're not using it, and clean up after you've eaten.
You can put garbage bags out on the street on Tuesday and Friday mornings. If you leave any other day it would be nice if you throw away the garbage in a street bin.

This was a perfect apartment for me and my family. Right at the heart of Utrecht in a very lively and flourishing street, lots of space, nicely furnished and Sandra and Rob gave very good instructions how to get there and how to get the keys (at midnight). There are two bedrooms and only if you are very sensitive sleeper then you should avoid the room close to the street with bars open very late. This did not seem to bother our son, though. Higly recommended!
We stayed for 2 weeks in August 2015 and the apartment was fantastic. It is very well located in the centre of Utrecht and has everything a holidaymaker needs for a comfortable stay. Sandra our host was excellent and made checking in and out very easy. She was very flexible with times which was fantastic. The apartment is located in the centre of the city so there is street noise at night which is to be expected.
Overall a great place to stay in a beautiful Dutch city!
This place and location was nothing short of perfect.
The hosts were lovely, friendly and welcoming. You can't get a better location in Utrecht, and that window is great for watching people go by.
Thank you to Rob and Sandra for making our stay so wonderful. We will be back.

Prachtig appartement in het centrum van Utrecht. Fantastisch ontvangst. Bij vragen meteen antwoord. Sandra en Rob zijn flexibel en reuze aardig. In het appartement zijn de basis spullen aanwezig die je voor de keuken niet hoeft mee te nemen. Moest vijf dagen op de beurs staan en het appartement gaf mij een thuisbasis. De Voorstraat is trouwens en interessante straat.
Prachtig, netjes en mooi ingericht appartement in hartje centrum. Vriendelijke verhuurders. Aanrader
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely apartment. As the owners say, it really is at the heart of Utrecht, so everything is in easy walking distance. The instructions were perfect, and the arrangements very clear. The apartment is in a lovely old building, and is spacious, well-equipped, and very pleasant to stay in. If you need a base in Utrecht, look no further!
If you wanna stay in Utrecht, it's THE place to rent. Really nice flat, new, perfect location (completely in the city center near everything) and nice host, here quiclky if you need anything. Thanks Sandra and Rob!
Hartje Utrecht was supergezellig! Het appartementje ligt zalig op wandelafstand van alle leuke plekjes. Het comfort is optimaal met 2 aparte slaapkamers. Via een busverbinding met De Bilt, kon de auto makkelijk een paar dagen gratis parkeren.
Die Unterkunft ist sehr zentral gelegen, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten befinden sich in der Straße. Auch der Bahnhof ist gut zu erreichen.Parkmöglichkeiten sind begrenzt.
Die Wohnung ist gut eingerichtet, in der Küche ist alles vorhanden.
Rob war vor Ort und hat uns nett begrüßt.
Sehr zu empfehlen!

A favorite saying in business is that you have to spend money to make money. Charitable organizations, on the other hand, have to spend money to give money, and it turns out that some are woefully inefficient at channeling donations to the people they're supposed to help.
The nonprofit Charity Navigator website tracks such expenses via charities' disclosure statements to the IRS to provide donors with an assessment of how well charities run themselves. Looking only at the supply side for the more than 5,500 charities that it tracks, the organization does not evaluate the impact on the recipients of funds, since that impact is often a subjective appraisal of "effectiveness." The statistics used in this list are from the most recent fiscal year's data on the Charity Navigator Web site at the time of publication.
But it is safe to say that all donors give money not to pay for office supplies and inflated salaries for executives (check out MainStreet's overview of the highest-paid charity CEOs), but rather to the programs that charities undertake to further their goals. It is with this philosophy that we highlight the 20 charities in the U.S. with the highest administrative costs, to show which groups take the most of each donated dollar for themselves, in some cases leaving less than half for the intended recipients of aid. For a look at those whose admin costs are next to nothing, check MainStreet's roundup of the 20 best charities in the U.S.
Whether it be rent on prime office space, generous pay and benefits for the board of directors, or the high fixed costs of running a summer camp, overhead like this reduces the impact of a charity no matter how that money is being spent. Donor beware…
20. Tucson Audubon Society
Administrative expenses: 42.8%
Well-known for its many programs focused on the protection of biodiversity and the environment, the Audubon society, based in Washington, D.C., has chapters across the country, run independently of the main office. Its affiliate in Tucson, Arizona, which fosters interest in and conservation of the bird population of southern Arizona, has seen its administrative costs skyrocket as the recession has eaten into its incoming donations. Partially due to Executive Director Paul Green's inflated salary of $78,800, which accounts for more than 7% of the group's expenses, the Tucson Audubon Society spends almost as much for its office as it does on the birds it aims to protect.

Law enforcement agencies from across the U.S. have reached out to Jalopnik for help with car identifications since your input was "critical" to solving a hit-and-run earlier this year.
This is just a horrible story. All auto-vs.-pedestrian fatal hit-and-runs are, of course, but this one involves a guy who didn't even have a chance to try and jump out of the way.
Robert Diaz was a 55-year-old man from Long Beach, Cal. He was also a quadriplegic, courtesy of an accident more than a quarter of a century ago. He used to go out for a "nightly amble" through his neighborhood.
That's what he was doing last Sunday night when he suffered what would prove to be fatal injuries when struck by a light-colored Honda Civic or Accord, a silver Nissan Altima or another four-door vehicle. The local NBC affiliate said the force of the collision sent "pieces of his wheelchair skittering across the street." Warning: This video is gruesome.
According to witnesses, the driver of said vehicle "got out of his vehicle and began walking toward Diaz." He fled before police arrived, though.
The hit-and-run itself was captured by surveillance cameras. Police released that video midweek in an attempt to catch the driver.
From the Long Beach Press-Telegram:
"He led a very difficult, compromised life and it's very unfortunate that it had to end this way," Diaz's son, Jason Diaz, said Wednesday at a press conference organized by the family at the Long Beach Police Department's North Substation. "This person needs to be held accountable for what they have done."
Yes, the "person" does. Both Diaz's family and police are asking for help. Let's see if we can tell them what kind of car they're looking for.

The former RKO Keith's movie house in Flushing has changed hands again.
Developer Patrick Thompson has sold the historic theater site for $30 million to JK Equities, a private real estate company based in New York, a spokesperson for the new developers said.
"The offer was generous, and Patrick decided to sell," said Michael Nussbaum, a former spokesperson for Thompson, who now represents JK Equities founder Jerry Karlik.
"This project has been a long time coming," Nussbaum said. "We're hoping that this group will finally put a shovel in the ground."
Plans to build a 17-story mixed-use apartment tower at 135-35 Northern Boulevard remain the same, Nussbaum said.
The 400,000-square-foot project site still includes 357 rental apartments, 360 parking spaces, stores and a community center.
JK Equities has also committed to restoring RKO Keith's landmarked lobby.
"The only thing that's being changed is the ownership," Nussbaum said. "This will be the tallest building in Flushing when it is completed. That building will just jump right out and give Flushing an incredible landscape."
The project to transform the long vacant and deteriorated building has been in the works for 25 years.
This is the third title change since 2002, when notorious developer Thomas Huang sold the building he heavily damaged to real estate investor Shaya Boymelgreen.
Boymelgreen later failed to make mortgage payments, allowing Thompson to buy the foreclosed property from the bank for $20 million in 2010.
The theater opened in 1928. Witnessing the end of vaudeville, it closed in 1986.
It is unclear when work will begin, Nussbaum said.

EAST LANSING -- One of America's most beloved comedic actresses will appear at Wharton Center on the campus of Michigan State University in an audience interactive program, "Laughter and Reflection with Carol Burnett: A Conversation with Carol where the Audience Asks the Questions," May 15.
"Laughter and Reflection," Burnett's off-the-cuff conversation with the audience, is a format that grew out of the question-and-answer sessions she shared with her studio audience on each episode of "The Carol Burnett Show."
As a weekly visitor in living rooms across America, Burnett always opened her show with a few minutes of hilarious banter with the audience. This is a rare opportunity to talk to Carol in the same enjoyable and intimate format.
"Laughter and Reflection" will be at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 15, in Cobb Great Hall�at Wharton Center in East Lansing. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 25 online at www.whartoncenter.com, at the Auto-Owners Ticket Office at Wharton Center, or by calling 1-800-WHARTON.
If there is one thing this renowned entertainer can do better than anyone else, it's talk at length, impromptu, before a live audience.
Following the 11-year run of the Carol Burnet Show, six-time Emmy Award winner Carol Burnett is now widely recognized for her dramatic abilities as well as her comedic and stage talents. In addition to being a best-selling author and a Grammy nominee, she is a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors, The Presidential Medal of Freedom, and numerous industry awards.
Burnett's best-selling book "This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection," was a New York Times best-seller, as was her autobiography "One More Time."
Her latest book "Carrie and Me: A Mother/Daughter Love Story" will be published by Simon & Schuster on April 9. Time/Life has just released DVDs of "The Carol Burnett Show" for retail sale, and it has quickly become one of their most successful DVD releases.
Raised by her grandmother, first in her birthplace of San Antonio, Texas, then Hollywood, Burnett attended UCLA. Soon after, she started her career in New York, where she caught fire doing hilarious sketches on "The Garry Moore Show."
At night, she dashed to Broadway, where she starred in the riotous fairy tale "Once Upon a Mattress." She moved back to Los Angeles and began "The Carol Burnett Show," which ran for 276 episodes on CBS from 1967 to 1978. Her show is generally regarded as the last successful major network variety show.
She has guest-starred on smash hit television shows such as "Glee," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," for which she received an Emmy nomination, "Desperate Housewives," and "Mad About You." She stars in the 30th Anniversary DVD of "Annie" and can be heard in the animated adventure, Disney's "The Secret World of Arrietty" and FOX's animated film, "Horton Hears a Who!"

I'm interested in seeing how Turner performs in a more positive, better-structured environment. I still hold out hope he can live up his expectations coming into the league.

I'm interested in seeing how Turner performs in a more positive, better-structured environment. I still hold out hope he can live up his expectations coming into the league.
I think Evan will make quicker decisions and be more willing to put up a shot than Danny.
Quick ball reversal of the defense and good off ball movement is key when Turner and Lance are out there together. Neither is a + shooter but if you can force the defense to move and then end with one of the catch the ball on a court reversal they will probably to face off against a recovering defender and get a good head start to the rim. The year Miami lost to Dallas they struggled with this, but had figured it out by the next year consistently. Lance and Turner don't equal Bron and Wade then, but the principle is similar.
I would love to see Danny sign with San Antonio.
I posted my thoughts on this in the appreciation thread and I really wish we could have stuck with Danny.
However, this just hit me. Danny is a very likely candidate for a buyout in Philly and Miami now has a roster spot open.
If that happened it would make me sick.
I'm looking forward to seeing Lavoy Allen play. Philly thought highly enough of him to extend him for 2 years/$6M after his rookie season. That's a pretty generous contract for a former second round pick after only one season.
Here's a quote from his college coach at Temple, Fran Dunphy.
http://articles.philly.com/2010-03-0...ssistant-coach"He might be the smartest player I've ever coached in terms of positioning and understanding the game - just his knowledge," Dunphy said.

That's what got him in this funk in the first place. Just standing at the FT line trying to drain mid range J's off a pick and pop.
With his **** deserting him, part of me wonders whether or not Sitting him for a few games isn't a better option at this point.
Some thoughts that went through my mind that I didn't see reflected in the thread:
1) I watched the trade rumors earlier in the day, and these caught my attention:
Unable to secure a 1st-round pick in a deal for Evan Turner, Sixers may now take a 2nd as part of package for '10 No. 2 pick, sources say.— Ken Berger (@KBergCBS) February 20, 2014
Philly has plenty of room to take back salary for Turner and is averse to signing him to a nearly $9M qualifying offer this summer.— Ken Berger (@KBergCBS) February 20, 2014
You have to respect the savvy of the front office. Seriously, Larry Bird and his team are good at their job. They scooped in and got impressive value given how depressed Granger's value had become. I would not be surprised if this leak from Berger related directly to the pending trade to the Pacers. The source heard about the Pacer's plan.
2) My gut instinct is that this move was not made with the intention of playing both Lance and Turner off the bench. I think it's a clear move to play either Lance or Turner on the floor at all times. Most of Lance's production this year has come playing in the starting lineup when you go review 82games stats, so I think the rotations will clearly switch with Turner perhaps first off the bench to give Lance a blow. Watson and Turner look like a good pairing to me, from the 10-15 games I've seen Turner play.
3) This trade gives Indiana fans a sense of what San Antonio (and it's fans) must have felt like to trade George Hill. Sentimental favorite, but solid front offices and perennial winners make these kinds of trades every time for the better of the team. I will dearly miss Danny, and have always had mad respect for his professionalism and game. Slightly worried that Danny is a late bloomer in terms of the season, and that we gave up too quickly on him, but I think given his return after 1+ years of being sidelined with injury makes it unlikely that he's going to start lighting it up off the bench here in Indy. Really worry how this will affect Granger's value in the offseason, but don't see many ways in which his value was going to get enhanced stinking it up here in Indy. Very tough circumstance for a hometown favorite.
4) Our perimeter defense off the bench is a new vulnerability from a couple of dimensions: 1) Turner is not traditionally strong here, and he has little-to-no time to grasp our system mid season. 2) Copeland gets more run with the bench, and he's not necessarily a plus defender ether. Certain teams will punish us on this front this year.
5) There's almost zero chance that Turner gets the QO from the team. He'd have to show himself to be a fundamentally different player than what he has shown, and that is highly unlikely. Lance >> Turner on this team, and they will want to send a strong message to Lance that he's their guy unless he's starting to turn into a numbskull behind the scenes. I continue to worry that he's starting to think he's better than he actually is, and that's trouble.
A source close to Danny Granger told me that DG had the expectation all yr that if the #Pacers could help the team w/ a trade, he'd be dealt— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) February 21, 2014
"George's athleticism is bananas!" - Marc J. Spears
Granger source: "It's a day of mixed emotions for Danny."— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) February 21, 2014
"He's obviously excited for the next chapter of his career and showing the league how ready he is. But at the same time...— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) February 21, 2014
this organization has been very important to him for years & he's made a ton of friends & so obviously saying bye to those close friends...— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) February 21, 2014
and teammates and others within the organization is going to be tough for he and his wife." -- said the source who's close to Danny Granger— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) February 21, 2014
"George's athleticism is bananas!" - Marc J. Spears
Nothing in life worth having comes easy.
To be blunt, he played like that this year from my eyes. Felt like he was going through the paces.
Very sad circumstance.
Emotions aside, the real angle here is now the #Pacers have a little more protection with Evan Turner if they can't afford Lance Stephenson— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) February 21, 2014
If Stephenson becomes too expensive in the summer, well - #Pacers have a restricted free agent in Turner. Can match his offer & keep him— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) February 21, 2014
Knowing they wouldn't keep Granger this summer, #Pacers basically have traded him 4 a real asset & a fantastic Plan B if Lance costs 2 much— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) February 21, 2014
Last thing on Granger: the source close to him expects DG to fly to Philadelphia tomorrow for a physical. Too soon on thoughts on buyout.— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) February 21, 2014
"George's athleticism is bananas!" - Marc J. Spears
I think alot of you are drooling over the 17pts per game that Turner potentially brings, but you are not looking at the details. Usuage rate, offensive pace, turnovers, shooting percentage, MPG. NOT TO MENTION RECORD. Translate that to the PAcers, and this guy might only average 9pts a game. Danny Granger average 9 pts per game too. Turner can't shoot the 3 with any sort of reliability. Neither can Danny right now, but Danny had shown that he can do that.
I'm just saying i'm gonng be very skeptical about Evan Turner, especially his efficiency in our plodding offense. Philly let this guy go for a 2nd round pick and an expiring contract.
Sad day in my Pacer fandom. Hope i'm wrong, but this one might end up costing us.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Championship move, gotta love it. I'm sure Turner will take full advantage of the opportunity to play for a winning team. The talent on this roster at this point is absurd, all in...championship or bust at this point.
*removed* Just keep politics and religion completely out of it, please.
Well, at least Evan Turner has shown the ability to hit big shots in the Fieldhouse:
Tough to see Danny Granger go after everything he did for the franchise, but as sports has taught us...if Peyton Manning can go, anyone can go. At the end of the day, for a franchise that is looking to win its first NBA Championship, winning takes precedent over sentiment.
Whether it was rust or just a bad knee, Granger just did not have it this year. He was still better than our other bench options, but if Turner can give us any bit of offensive punch, we'll be in good shape. The fact that he's a good ball handler and passer for a 2-guard may help tremendously against the Heat.
Unless it is an Artest one, which i saw really cheap down here the season after the brawl, why not wear it? If you loved Granger then be proud to wear his number. It still says Pacers on the front. i have an O'neil replica which i still wear when I can fit in it.
I'm thinking the same thing. If Vogel used Danny right and gave him a little more PT I think he would have easily averaged double figures. Turner won't get 16 shots per game with us. I hope he gets more minutes because I'd really like to see Lance cut by a few minutes but if Turner only gets 22 minutes I doubt if he'll average any more then Danny while not being nearly the defender Danny was.
Larry bird has always said that he feels competition within a team brings out the best in a team. I almost feel that Turner and Lance have the rest of the season to prove who should undoubtedly be here next year.

I'm needing to get a midrange tunnel disc. The list of discs I have is in my sig. I can throw my classic roc in a tunnel, but where it's a little understable, it tends to hold the line it's released on and my form isn't finely tuned just yet. What I'm looking for is basically a 5-7 speed disc that will fly a straight line 5-10ft high, slightly stable.
I'm fairly familiar with innova discs, but not many others. I know this could be accomplished better with proper form, but I'm hoping a disc can help some in the mean time while I work on it. I've been looking at the Mako3, champion, 170-175g.
Are there any others that I should be looking at for this type of throw?

Wholesome conduct leads to a greater degree of contentment and joy in the life of one who practices it. This is part of what Buddhism teaches. I think we can all agree that it generally leads to a greater degree of contentment and joy in the lives of others. From an objective point of view the Buddha appears to have acted in a profoundly wholesome way. He appears to have been immensely kind and forgiving to a degree which is nothing short of magical.
Do you feel that what we inherit from the Buddha goes deeper than the oral teaching he left behind?
How do you feel about the effects of the conduct of an enlightened mind as apposed to the wholesome conduct of a mind with limited and afflicted goals?
Does the thought of that a being who is totally liberated from self concern manifesting immensely gracious behavior make you glad?

BRUSSELS – A firm course change in Ukraine — westward and away from Moscow — would have momentous consequences for the balance of power in Europe.
The move would propel the continent's second-largest country into the orbit of the 28-nation European Union, rather than President Vladimir Putin's Kremlin.
Taken to its logical conclusion, Ukraine's farm fields, mines and factories, which are now mainly oriented toward the Russian market, could end up producing chiefly for the EU — the world's largest single economic bloc, extending as far west as the British Isles.
Its capital, Kiev, known as the mother of Russia's cities, could one day have closer links with Rome, Paris and London than with St. Petersburg, Smolensk or Moscow.
The country's military, one of Europe's largest, might join the U.S.-led NATO alliance.
Ukraine "has the potential to really boost the EU's engine in a way that no other new member could — with the exception of Turkey," said Amanda Paul, a policy analyst at the European Policy Center, a Brussels think tank. "Ukraine's new generation of youth are well educated and therefore needed by Europe, which has an aging population."
Incorporating Ukraine and its 46 million people into the EU would make the bloc a player in Central Asia and the Caucasus, put EU-Russian relations on a much closer footing and bring about an internal EU power shift that would strengthen the influence of Poland and other Eastern European countries at the expense of southern Europe, said Jan Techau, director of Carnegie Europe, another think tank.
"It's a pretty big strategic shift we're talking about," Techau said.
With the disappearance of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, chances appear to have brightened for Ukraine to sign the formal association agreement with the EU that he spurned in November in favor of a bailout loan from Russia.
That EU deal, in the long run, could prove a bonanza for the resource-rich republic that was one of the former Soviet Union's industrial dynamos.
In the short term, however, it would be excruciatingly painful for many sectors of Ukraine's economy and would commit the EU and other international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund to spending billions in aid.
Present-day Ukraine, Techau said, is a "basket case economically."
Closing the EU deal appears much more of a reality than it did a week ago when Yanukovych was in charge. The Ukrainian parliament speaker who has assumed presidential powers, Oleksandr Turchinov, has said one of his priorities will be "returning to the path of European integration."
Independent experts, though, caution that path is full of challenges. Geoffrey Pridham, an emeritus professor who studies post-communist democratization at Bristol University in the U.K., said three factors — Ukraine's dire economic situation, the stirrings of pro-Russian separatist sentiment in the east of the country, and Kremlin meddling — could derail any effort to bring Ukraine closer to the EU.
"It really depends on what Russia decides to do," said Kataryna Wolczuk, associate professor of international studies at the University of Birmingham. "We haven't heard the last word from Russia."
Some European officials have been trying to tamp down expectations of what their side can afford to accomplish. Asked about the chances of Ukraine joining the EU, German Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, told reporters in Berlin on Monday that "we have always said that the conclusion of an association agreement could start a process from which Ukraine might profit in other ways.
"At the same time, we shouldn't raise expectations and hopes that can't be fulfilled," Seibert said.
Were it to join the EU's ranks, Ukraine would have the largest European land area of any member state and be one of the bloc's most populous countries. It would also be a relative pauper and soak up resources at a time when other member nations are struggling to jump-start their own economies.
According to the World Bank, the average per capita income in 2012 was $41,863 in Germany and $39,772 in France, compared to just $3,867 in Ukraine.
The EU's top diplomat, Catherine Ashton, went to Kiev this week to feel out the situation. EU officials say there can be a win-win outcome that doesn't injure Moscow's interests.
"The European Union has everything to gain from increased trade and investment ties between Russia and Ukraine," spokesman Olivier Bailly said, adding the bloc was hopeful that Russia will join with it in playing a "constructive and supporting role" that benefits Ukraine.
Ewald Boehlke at the German Council on Foreign Relations is hopeful that Washington, its European allies and Moscow can find common ground.
"The Ukrainian state must be a stable state and that means to work together between the EU, Russia and the United States; otherwise we will lose control of society in Ukraine," Boehlke said.
However, other experts said the EU needs to ramp up its game.
Georges Mink — a specialist in central and eastern Europe at France's National Center for Scientific Research and the College of Europe in Natolin, Poland, said Europe must act to help transform Ukraine into "a prosperous country that is free to choose its orientation."
The EU "has an interest in avoiding on its borders an unstable country, a wrecked country, one that could fall prey to imperial designs," Mink said. "There must be an all-out effort to help the transition to a new Ukraine takeoff."
Paul, who has been following events in Ukraine for a decade, said for the westward-facing scenario to become a reality, the EU must get tougher with Putin.
"The ultimate question is, is EU ready to tackle Russia? They need to stop being so cowardly," Paul said. She said she believes the high hopes many Ukrainians are vesting in the European Union may ultimately be dashed.

What's being said
It is a little facile, I think, to place the blame for law firms focusing "myopically" on short-term economic performance so squarely at the door of "non-lawyer law firm management consultants." It is probably true that some have been guilty of encouraging their clients to focus too heavily on "business school-type metrics that maximize short-term profits" (i.e. at the expense of the long term) - but certainly not all. I think also that the market's obsession with how law firms compare to their peers is a far greater culprit in encouraging such imbalance. Observe how quickly the predictions flow that a firm is heading the same way as Dewey, if it slips a few places in the Amlaw or other league tables.
Nor is the tension between short-term results and long-term sustainable economic sustainability unique to the legal profession. It is a malaise that affects most businesses. Observe how quickly the market penalizes a corporation if its quarterly earnings slip, irrespective of any brilliant strategy that it may have for the longer term. With a plunging share price goes the value of executive share options and shareholder support ... so small wonder that when faced with a choice between propping up today's share price or enhancing the long-term, most executives opt for the former.
For law firms, the pace and depth of change under way in the legal profession makes this tension between short-term performance and long-term sustainability even more profound. Over the course of probably less than the next decade, we can expect the practice of law to fundamentally transform. Client pressure on price is inexorable and probably not going to go away anytime soon. I don not think that we have even begun to see the impact of technology on the practice of law (as opposed to on legal business services) .... in particular technology displacing significant work now done by attorneys .... and in sophisticated firms - not just in commoditized services. New legal markets with unique challenges are emerging as previously undeveloped economies grow and develop more sophisticated legal needs. The 'alternative business structure' experiment under way in England and Wales, induced by the Legal Services Act, has yet to spawn the major unanticipated consequences that, in time, it no doubt will.
Against this challenging canvas, we have managing partners and executive committees trying to balance peering ahead into an ever-more-confusing future and crafting strategies to address that, while simultaneously keeping their eyes very closely focused on those very same " business school-type metrics that maximize short-term profits." Money in, as Dan de Pietro is fond of quoting from Dickens, must exceed money out. In the midst of such uncertainty, it is difficult to find too much fault with a strategy of focusing on optimizing performance in the short term while evolving as best one can as the future emerges and begins to make sense.
So what of culture amidst all this? Of course it is critical. Of course it is difficult to properly describe, let along alone manage (although there are ways to achieve this effectively.) A "good culture," though, is responsive to market realities and drives the firm's strategy (assuming that the strategy is well-conceived.) A "bad culture" is the opposite. In my opinion, in many firms it is the culture that needs to evolve in order to become more focused on business requirements. "Collegiality," after all, means shared responsibility - not comradeship. The whole notion that equity partnership is a reward for long service to a club of professionals is now so far removed from reality that I doubt any lucid associate truly clings to that belief any longer.

Daily Prayer 2004-12-05
Listen to podcast version here.
December 5, 2004Second Sunday of AdventFather Jason Koch, LCMatthew 3:1-12John
the Baptist appeared, preaching in the desert of Judea and
saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"
It was of him theat the prophet Isaiah had spoken
when he said: "A voice of one crying out in
the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight
his paths." John wore clothing made of camel´s hair and
a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts
and wild honey. At that time Jerusalem, all Judea, and
the whole region around the Jordan were going out to
him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan,
as they acknoledged their sins. When he saw many of
the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said
to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to
flee from the coming wrath? Produce good fruit as evidence
of your repentance. And do not presume to say to
yourselves, ´We have Abraham as our father.´ For I tell
you, God can raise up children to Abraham from these
stones. Even now the ax lies at the root of
the trees. Therefore every tree that does not bear good
fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the
one who is coming after me is mighter than I.
I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will
baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing
fork is in his hand, and he will clear his
threshing floor and will gather his wheat into his barn,
but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."Introductory Prayer:Lord
Jesus, I come to you in prayer to prepare my
soul to receive you in Holy Communion and make more
room for you in my life. Help me to put
order in my heart and fulfill your will in my
life with love and enthusiasm. Petition:Lord, make me open
to your presence in my life.1. A Message Coming from
the Desert. John the Baptist went to the desert in
order to be closer to God. The Israelites learned to
depend on God while in the desert. He gave them
manna and quail to nourish them in their hunger and
from a rock came water to quench their thirst. In
the desert, John the Baptist learned to depend on God,
and through him the cry to repent and make straight
the paths to God would again resound. The four hundred
year silence is broken as God makes known that his
kingdom is at hand. Oftentimes, there are moments in our
lives that seem like a desert, but it is in
these moments that God brings us closer to him. We
should not be afraid of experiencing dryness or difficulties in
prayer because it is then when God helps us trust
more in him.2. Prepare the Way of the Lord.
God wants to be a part of our lives and
we have to open wide our hearts to him. John
the Baptist inspired numerous conversions because of his powerful spiritual
lifestyle. As part of his desert practice, he spent countless
hours in prayer with God. People listened to him because
his life was clear and spiritual. Johns baptism helped wash
away their old attitudes and ways of thinking. To be
baptized showed their decision to let God in and purify
their hearts. I must not forget that this Advent is
a time to make room for Christ to enter into
my heart. I need him to be a real part
of my life. I have to let go of the
old way of thinking and acting and put on Christ
in a real and visible way. How do I prepare
myself to receive Holy Communion at Mass? I need to
think about who it is that I am about to
receive. 3. Producing Good Fruit Is Evidence of Repentance. By
baptism, we are committed to pursue holiness through an identification
with Christ. We collaborate actively with him in his redemptive
mission, contributing our efforts to announce and extend Christs Kingdom
here on earth. St Luke says, speaking of the first
members of the Church who were persecuted and forced to
spread out, Those who had dispersed went about everywhere announcing
the Good News of the Word (Acts 8:4). It is
my task to preach and extend the Kingdom of Christ
where I am. My basic apostolic task is to give
witness to Christ through an integral and mature living of
the values, ideals and virtues of the Gospel. How do
I witness at home, to my spouse, to my children,
in my work, and in my parish? Do I understand
that my example is powerful? I need to feel the
urgency of fulfilling the mission that Christ has given me
in my particular state in life. When I receive Holy
Communion, I receive the food I need to help me
in my mission.Dialogue with Christ: Lord, you chose to become
like me in order to bring me closer to you.
Help me continue to grow in a prayerful spirit, and
unite me with you so that at the end of
my life I can enjoy your presence, not just under
the veil of the Eucharist, but in person. Lord, reveal
yourself to me. Resolution: I will take a few more
moments after Mass to give thanks to God for the
gift of the Eucharist.

I've always been a fan of southern blues and psychedelic rock , with The Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers being two of my personal favorites from the 70's. I was thinking I would get a new age twist from Johnny La Rocha with his album Ocha La Rocha, but I was somewhat disappointed by a lack of consistency and bad production value. The album wasn't bad, but it also wasn't impressive; it failed to give the same great value I had come to know from other bands I listen to of the same genre.
Some of the songs were more blues focused, implementing the blues rock and soul voices. However, the songs weren't that impressive. The first song, "Sing The People's Song", is about the human struggle, but only showcases surface-based lyrics. The guitar riffs are interesting, but they don't flow consistently; further, the lead singer doesn't have a good voice. There are occasions where I can look past this, such as vocalists who have unique vocal qualities that make their songs original and appealing. I don't particularly find this quality of voice in John La Rocha. Thus, these songs end up coming off as cliché and amateurish.
Another thing that held this album back was lack of consistency of genre. For some songs, there was a period of space sounds like a grateful dead concert, but the sounds are unoriginal and boring to listen to. The songs also last about a minute, so it also causes me to think that these songs were album filler rather than an endeavor at psychedelic music, since the songs are so meaningless and empty.
Finally, on occasion the artist tries to blend these two genres, and, you guessed it, horror ensues. The two genres don't compliment each other at all. This artist needs to learn what he's trying to do if he wants to have a good album. Overall, the album is a good attempt, but needs a lot of work if this is the kind of music the artist wants to stick with.

Thrift Star of the Day: amytwin
That coat is dissolving my brain.
Or perhaps what's making me loopy is the fact that I've been writing an article for the peerless SN&R , who gave me my very first actual news article, and none of this bull where I go "this is awesome" for 3 sentences and say bullocks to grammar, an actual 800 word report on winter fashion and local designers… then yesterday I had carte blanche on the styling and art direction of an entire full color photoshoot with hair and makeup of my imagining, featuring said designers of my choosing, and four gorgeous models of my dressing – mixing and matching pieces from three AMAZING collections…
Yes, this coat is face-meltingly cute, but I think after yesterday nothing will ever thrill me quite the same way again.
I get published on Christmas day. Pretty sweet to have this dream ticked off the list....

Do you see the mud circle? It is the muddy area on the water's surface left by a whale that is "snacking." The lagoon's bottom sediment has very little whale food. But the water is rich in plankton and algae. One type of algae is like cotton in texture. Observer Dr. Swartz suggests this gets stuck on the whales' baleen, so maybe they are taking mouthfuls of sand and sediment to clean their baleen! (Whales gulp mouthfuls of sand and sediment from the bottom and squirt it out through their baleen. Any food gets trapped and swallowed.)
