Christmas Tree Care

Christmas trees can be beautiful, whimsical, enchanting or they can be dry, brittle and appear ready to burst into flame at any second. Admit it, we've all forgotten to give the proper care to our lovely Blue Spruce and the needles have practically jumped off the tree. It really doesn't have to be that way if you follow this list of easy to remember tree tips:
- Buy your tree the day you are going to set it up, so it doesn't dry out while everyone decides where to put it. If you must buy ahead, then put it in a shed or the garage in a bucket of warm water until you are ready for it.
- Cut about an inch or so off the bottom of the tree and trim any stray or long branches that are bent or hanging away from the main part of the tree.
- When you do decide to place your tree make sure it's not in front of a heating vent or any source of heat, such as a television or other appliance.
- Water, water and more water! DO NOT let the water level go below the base of the tree. Recruit everyone in the house to check it on and off throughout the day. Make a game of it and put up a colorful chart with each family member's name and who is suppose to water the tree each day! Let the motto be "The Christmas Tree won't dry out on my day!"
- Don't waste time and energy on adding things to your tree water. I researched this and there is no proof that corn syrup, bleach or any other additive prolongs the life of the cut tree more than clean, fresh water on a daily basis. The key is NOT to let the level fall below the end of the tree base. It should be covered at all times. Your tree stand should hold at least 1/2 gallon or more of water. If you have a tradition of adding corn syrup or bleach to your water there is probably no harm in doing so. Do be careful that kids and pets are kept away from any toxic additives such as bleach.
After you have your beautiful tree set up please be cautious of several things:
- Check all light and extension cords to make sure they are not broken or frayed.
- Do not use candles near your tree.
- Be sure the tree is secure! I have more than one horror story of trees falling over. ( Sorry Mom, I know I said I would never mention it again!) Take precautions again frisky dogs and busy kids.
- Never leave the house or go to bed with the tree lights plugged in.
Christmas Trees are one of my favorite Christmas traditions. Whether your kids choose an orphan Charlie Brown tree or you bring home King of the Trees to surprise your family, they are all special and unique to each Christmas celebration. Take of your tree, decorate it with love and creativity-the memories will live on forever!

Creating New Interfaces for Musical Expression: Introduction to NIME
Thursday, 16 December | 7:00 pm - 10:45 pm | Room 314
Due to advances in digital audio technologies, computers now play a role in most music production and performance. Digital technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for creation and manipulation of sound, but the flexibilty of these new technologies implies an often confusing array of choices for musical composers and performers. Some artists are using computers directly to create music and generate an explosion of new musical forms. However, most would agree that the computer is not a musical instrument, in the same sense as traditional instruments, and it is natural to wonder "how to play the computer" using interface technology appropriate for human brains and bodies.
A decade ago, the presenters of this course organized the first workshop on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME), to attempt to answer this question by exploring connections with the better-established field of human-computer interaction. The course summarizes what has been learned at the NIME conferences. It begins with an overview of the theory and practice of new musical interface design and asks: What makes a good musical interface? Are any useful design principles or guidelines available? Then it reviews topics such as mapping from human action to musical output and control intimacy, and presents practical information about the tools for creating musical interfaces, including an overview of sensors and microcontrollers, audio synthesis techniques, and communication protocols such as Open Sound Control (and MIDI). The remainder of the course consists of several specific case studies of the major broad themes of the NIME conference, including augmented and sensor-based instruments, mobile and networked music, and NIME pedagogy.
Intended Audience
Interaction designers, artists, and academic and industry researchers who have a general interest in interaction techniques for musical expression.
Presentation Language
Presented in English / 영어로 발표 됨
Familiarity with the basics of interactive media, but particular technical background is not required. No background in music or computer audio is assumed.

More than 100 north Escondido residents have signed petitions opposing plans to build an industrial recycling plant on 35 acres of vacant county land next to their mostly rural and upscale neighborhoods.
The residents say the plant would lower nearby property values, worsen congestion at the Deer Springs Road/Interstate 15 interchange, damage the area's scenic beauty, and endanger children.
"All the homes out here are on 1- or 2-acre lots, and there are a lot of groves," Jesmond Dene Heights resident Dave Dewitt said. "No one's against recycling or the environment, but there's no way anything like that should be out here. It just doesn't make sense."
The residents are also frustrated that county officials changed the zoning of the site — a former quarry that provided materials to construct I-15 in the late 1970s — from rural to industrial in summer 2011.
Dewitt, a lifelong Escondido resident, said county officials made the zoning change quietly, leaving residents in the dark.
"The amazing thing about this is how it all of a sudden came out of the blue," Dewitt said. "There have been a range of permits and changes going on for a couple years that none of us knew about."
The developer proposing the plant, longtime North County businessman Arie de Jong, said Thursday that the site was ideal because it has great freeway access and the area's terrain would make the plant less conspicuous.
"You can't even see it from the road," he said. "And the neighbors aren't that close by, because I own 142 acres there."
DeJong also said he planned to screen the plant visually and be sensitive to residents in how the plant would be run. "We're not out here to run a shoddy operation," he said.
The residents have lobbied the County Board of Supervisors, which is scheduled to approve or reject the proposed plant sometime this fall, and the Escondido City Council.
Some of the frustrated residents live on county land in subdivisions such as Montreaux and Jesmond Dene Heights.
But others live within the city, in neighborhoods such as Escondido Hills. In addition, an upscale 39-home subdivision called High Point has been approved by the city for vacant land near the site.
City Council members debated last week whether to urge the county to reject the proposal.
Councilman Mike Morasco said the plant could jeopardize the success of High Point, calling that subdivision the kind of high-end project that city officials have sought for years. "The homes will be sitting literally right over this," he said.
Councilwoman Olga Diaz said the city should get involved. "Even though it's county property, that is the gateway to Escondido, and I think it's something we should be highly concerned about," she said. "It's not in character with that area."
But Mayor Sam Abed said the city would only monitor the project's progress, not take an official stance.
Barbara Redlitz, the city's planning chief, said Escondido officials and the county's advisory Twin Oaks Planning Group opposed the zoning change two years ago. She said the site seemed too isolated for industrial use and too close to homes. She said the city also had concerns about air pollution.
Kasturi Rangan, a resident living in the Montreaux subdivision, said the plant would generate too much truck traffic, dust and noise.
"The local roads aren't equipped to handle the 70 truck trips per day that they estimate," he said. "And there are already concerns about congestion at the Deer Springs exit."
Rangan said the residents are also concerned that the county could approve additional industrial projects on 100 acres of vacant land nearby.
But DeJong said he planned to leave the additional acres vacant.
County Supervisor Dave Roberts told U-T San Diego that he's sensitive to the public outcry. Roberts said he hadn't studied the proposal closely enough to take an official position, but that his staff had begun to investigate.
"I'm always interested in things that affect communities and quality of life," he said. "You can be assured I will closely look at this when it gets to us."
The residents have some history on their side. Former Escondido Mayor Jerry Harmon said resident backlash prompted the county to abandon a water-slide park proposed for the same site in the early 1990s.

Lol he may as well not even play for the team these days.
But I'm sure he'll have something nasty for the contest
Cool. Hope he wins.
PG in the 3 point contest too.
Cynic fan: great, at least we'll derive some value out of his 10mil contract...
Sunshiner fan: great, maybe this will be just the shot in he arm he needs to come back and join the team as an effective contributor
Yeah, Maybe it can bring up his trade and upgrade value
Green should be in the 3 point contest....
Edit: oh crap I forgot about his ankle.... Oh wait ....

Is Green eligible for the D league? Maybe some time in Fort Wayne could get his shot and his confidence back.
Great news. All-Star Saturday Night is always so much more enjoyable when you have someone to root for.
Shaq picked the best team, Charles picked a team with not shooters
I'm assuming James White didn't get picked to be in the dunk contest, since no one has mentioned. Those two would have been the frontrunners.
Edit: Seems like White did.
Last edited by AesopRockOn; 02-07-2013 at 09:45 PM. Reason: And Dumber
He actually did.
He did. Him, Green, Terrence Ross, Jeremy Evans, Eric Bledsoe, Kenneth Faried. That's a really strong field, should be fun.
And PG getting in the 3 point contest leads me further to believe the league really wants him to become a superstar.
@StevePopper: The field is more than James White and Gerald Green, but here's a tease to their old dunk contest: http://t.co/IzyJIFiS
At least Paul can win this one without the fans screwing him again. Have fun in the dunk contest against the world, GG.

There goes the myth that Barbosa and Nash didn't get along.
So they're doing some East v. West thing for the whole night. They'll tally up points for each side through the night and the winners get...something. Home court advantage maybe, worked so great for baseball and all.
The winners get more money for charities of Dwyane Wade's and Chris Paul's choosing. So All-Star Saturday is basically a big night for charity.
I wonder if Green will incorporate George at all in his routine, both guys can flat out fly so could do something ridiculous.
So the plot thickens on GG's absence from the team. It's not injury related if he's going to be in the dunk contest.
Or the injury will be fine by the end of next week.
This space for rent.
James White is also in the dunk contest... This is shaping up to be a good lineup - assuming they don't do any stupid KIA-sponsored car jumps
Never half-a** two things. Whole-a** one thing.

Thank you for pledging to buy Fair Trade Certified!
Here is a handy shopping guide to help you find Fair Trade Certified products wherever you shop. If you don't find the items listed below, you can fill out a comment card at checkout or ask to talk to the store manager. Every purchase matters!
Start here – it's your best bet. Coffee was the original Fair Trade Certified product, and there are almost 500 brands available in North America today. That means that you should be able to find at least one variety that suits you. In addition to ground and whole been coffee, you are likely to find the label on boxes of K-Cups, too. Tea is also a popular Fair Trade category, both bagged and loose leaf, so make sure you look through all the boxes to find the Fair Trade tea that you like best!
Fair Trade Certified coffee and tea are also available at many restaurants and cafes. Make sure to thank the manager if you see it on the menu!
This crowd pleaser can be found at most natural and fine food grocery stores. Fair Trade Certified chocolate bars tend to be high-end when it comes to quality, and there are many varieties to choose from. A bar of your favorite Fair Trade Certified chocolate makes a great gift or afternoon snack.
You should also be able to find Fair Trade Certified chocolate chips and bars for baking, allowing you to create your own delicious treats! Many of your favorite brands are using it as an ingredient in products like snack bars, ice creams and cookies.
Fair Trade certification ensures that farmers receive a fair price, allows farmers to invest in techniques that bring out the flavors of the region, and strictly prohibits slave and child labor.
Add a taste of Fair Trade to everything you make with Fair Trade Certified herbs and spices. With Fair Trade standards for herb and spice production, small farmers receive a price that allows them to compete in the market, as well as a premium to invest in social and economic projects for their communities.
If you're trying to find Fair Trade Certified clothing, your best bet is to look online. This is a relatively new program that directly benefits the farmers who grow the cotton and the workers who sew the garments, offering consumers an unprecedented opportunity to positively impact lives. Participating brands include Good & Fair Clothing, HAE Now, prAna, and Tompkins Point Apparel.
If you want to see more Fair Trade Certified options, please encourage your favorite brand to look into it.
In addition to being sold in bags for baking, Fair Trade Certified cane sugar is a common ingredient in products like ice cream, cookies, chocolate bars and bottled beverages.
Sugar cane farmers are some of the most impoverished in the world as a result of fluctuating prices and difficulty accessing the U.S. market. By connecting directly to buyers, Fair Trade farmers are able to improve the lives of their families and the quality of their products.
Fair Trade Certified agave and honey are also common sweeteners that are starting to appear in more and more grocery stores.
If you haven't switched to Fair Trade Certified bananas yet, now is the time! The most common Fair Trade Certified fruit, they are now available at many grocery stores around the country. If yours doesn't carry them, be sure to make a request. You may also find Fair Trade Certified pineapples, mangos, cucumbers, bell peppers peaches and more. These are seasonal items, so be sure to look for them every time you shop.
Fair Trade farmers nurture fruits and vegetables to ensure that the freshest and sweetest crops make their way to your kitchen from our global farmer's market. Social responsibility is joining health and environmental concerns as a significant factor in our purchasing decisions.

Chuck E. Cheese rolls out new pizza recipe
If you grew up in the 80's like I did, chances are you have fond memories of visiting Chuck E. Cheese, whether for a birthday party or just a family treat. Okay, so I did go through a brief period as a toddler when I was terrified of the oversized mouse mascot walking around the mall, and wouldn't go near the place without pitching a fit…but fortunately the only memories that stuck are happy ones of skee ball, ball pits and the animatronic show. I was happy when I noticed Chuck E. Cheese restaurants popping up in our area, so I could pass the fun along to my son.
Chuck E. Cheese has recently revamped their pizza recipe and asked me to try it out. Nobody has to ask me twice to try pizza. Yum! Here's what Chuck E. Cheese says about their new pizza:
We started from scratch to bring you our all-new, cheesier, crispier pizza. Made with fresh, never frozen dough, 100% real Mozzarella cheese, zesty pizza sauce, and a variety of quality toppings, it's a pizza the whole family will love!
I learned from this video that their fresh dough is made on site, and they replaced a frozen cheese blend with fresh mozzarella grated on site daily.
We visited a local Chuck E. Cheese restaurant and ordered our pizza with green peppers, sausage and mushrooms. It looked delicious!
The first thing that struck me about the pizza was the crispy crust, which reminded me of my favorite local pizza place. Crispy (but soft inside) crust is a must for me. The corn meal on the bottom added to the texture and authenticity, and it wasn't at all greasy. The toppings seemed very fresh, and the cheese was great. I have definitely had my share of bad "manufactured" pizza at chain establishments, often with crust that you can just tell isn't fresh and cheese of questionable origin. A hand-tossed pie from a local mom and pop pizza place it isn't, but I think Chuck E. Cheese's recipe is very good and their food seems to be as much a priority as the entertainment they provide. I do have to admit that I kind of missed the garlic flavor that they added to their old crust, but I'm sure the newer version is healthier. Overall we really enjoyed our meal, and I think it's great that Chuck E. Cheese made these positive changes to their menu.
Haven't set foot in a Chuck E. Cheese in decades? Though the experience has changed a bit (no more ball pit), it's just as much fun as I remember. They offer a great assortment of games and rides to suit all ages, from toddler to mom and dad. Everything costs just one token to play, unusual for an arcade. Many of the games dispense tickets (each try will net you at least one) that can be traded in at the prize counter for a little reward.
Chuck E. Cheese coupons frequently appear in newspaper coupon inserts, or you can print coupons from the Chuck E. Cheese website (they allow you to use more than one for larger parties). I think it's a lot of entertainment bang for your buck.

Officially a three-day affair, the 22nd Bakersfield Reunion was Hot Rod Heaven from Wednesday's move-in through Sunday's final rounds
Only someone coming to sunny California expecting a leisurely, restful fall weekend could possibly be disappointed by the granddaddy of nostalgia meets. Though officially a three-day affair, the 22nd Bakersfield Reunion was Hot Rod Heaven from Wednesday's move-in through Sunday's final rounds. Camped in the pits for the duration, we didn't get much sleep.
Famoso Raceway doesn't officially open until Friday, yet Thursday offered early birds a car show, swap meet, and vendor midway, all nicely spiced by impromptu pitside cackling — with no admission charge. Friday night, the center of the universe shifted 20 miles south to Bakersfield's DoubleTree Hotel for California Hot Rod Hall of Fame inductions (putting the spotlight this year on Tommy Allen, Roy Brizio, Jim DeFrank, Larry Dixon, John Rasmussen, and grand marshal Butch Leal). Saturday served up final qualifying, the first round of pro eliminations, six genuine AA/Fuel Altereds, and slowed only for too-frequent oil downs. The traditional, push-start cacklefest finally flamed out around 10:00 p.m., signaling thousands of fans to hurdle fences and guard walls to join the still-smoldering cacklers on the sticky dragstrip.
Dirty Deal
Dirty Deal It was a photo ad of a Model T body in the dirt (asking price: $375) that started Robert Casada, 38 (right), and Steve Poe, 43, on the improbable journey that brought Gary Cochran's long-lost Mr. C fuel modified roadster back to Bakersfield. "When we went to pick up the body," Robert recalls, "Ed Howtz said, 'You wanna see the chassis that goes with it? I was gonna cut it up.'" The axle, motor plate, hubs, upholstery, a narrowed Olds rear with axles, and even the front tires somehow survived, too. George Scarpenti came up with ultrarare parts that Mike Kuhl required to roughly duplicate Cochran's rare blown Ford, and Mister C himself was in the seat as his old car pushed to life for perhaps the first time since 1967, when Gary sold the original 427 to a boat racer.
Buick Boys
Tommy Ivo was pulled right into Bob DeBurn's chromed-out nailhead, naturally. The Copperhead rail was making its first track appearance in five decades. The Fab Shop of Prescott, Arizona, got the restoration job after a chassis hanging on a local wall was recognized from a 1960 Rods Illustrated "little book" as the homebuilt slingshot campaigned by Turk, Woolsley & Cox starting around 1957.
Museum Piece
Museum Piece Rare, vintage speed equipment was everywhere, but we're always surprised to see Algon injectors, let alone a plumbed, fully operational unit like the system that powered San Francisco's Schrank brothers to Lions track records in '61 (8.66/183.28).
No wonder so few attendees manage to stagger back on Sunday morning, despite the allure of full-quarter-mile fuel racing. Most of these folks, too, were gone by the time final-round win lights went to Adam Sorokin (whose famous father won the March Meet here in '66) in Top Fuel; John Hale, AA/FC; Ryan Davenport, A/FD; Don Enriquez, Jr., Fuel; Mike Smith, 7.0 Pro; Richard Phillips, 7.0 Pro-B; Mitchel Akers, A/FX; Tom Fowler, A/Gas; Jason Barta, Nostalgia; and Dan Myers, Pro Mod. Thus ended a near-weeklong orgy reminiscent of Indy's Nationals when the Car Craft All-Star Drag Racing Team banquet, countless parties, and a downtown trade show tested after-hours endurance. That unique energy didn't die in Indianapolis in the early '90s, after all; it just moved west to Bakersfield.
Cheap Thrills
Young people on a young person's budget continue to prove that where there's a will, there's a way to enjoy vintage American iron. This '50 Plymouth sat unwanted for the first two-thirds of Josh Tanner's life, until he came up with $250. Now 30, Josh found and rebuilt another '50-vintage flathead six, now enhanced by single-barrel Carters on the trick, integral intake/exhaust manifolds.
The End
This is one show that doesn't quit at the finish line. Beyond the annual assemblage of traditional rods and customs beneath Famoso's pitside scoreboard lies another quarter-mile of race cars, swap-meet vendors, and happy campers. No wonder the Reunion is referred to as "drag racing's Woodstock."

The Kansas City Chiefs made the first coaching hire of the NFL offseason, but it was a questionable hire.
Andy Reid has been a successful coach in the NFL. But the key words in that sentence are "has been." Reid might win big again in the NFL, but if you watched the Philadelphia Eagles the past two seasons, Reid looked like a coach whose best days had already passed.
In 2011, the Eagles were expected to be Super Bowl contenders. They finished 8-8.
This season, the Eagles were expected to at least challenge for a playoff berth. They finished 4-12, losing 10 of their last 11.
The Eagles weren't a team bereft of talent. They were a team that underachieved, that at times looked short on passion.
That should concern Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt, who pursued Reid as if he were Vince Lombardi and signed him Friday to a five-year contract. Reid has won in the NFL, but in a what-have-you-done-lately business, Reid hasn't won a playoff game since the 2008 season.
Reid made a number of mistakes during the end of his tenure in Philadelphia that proved costly. The biggest error was moving Juan Castillo, his longtime offensive line coach, to defensive coordinator in 2011—a decision that hurt the Eagles on both sides of the ball. Castillo had never been a defensive coach in the NFL and Reid eventually fired him in mid-October this season, but it was too late to keep the Eagles from sinking.
Former Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, who played for Reid for seven seasons, told 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia that opposing coaches regularly got the best of Reid.
"If it come down to both teams were even, talent-wise, I think the opponent's team would win if it came down to coaching," Trotter said. "Andy Reid got outcoached in a lot of games man, a lot of big games."
Everyone should feel badly for Reid in regard to the loss of his son Garrett, who died of a heroin overdose in August. Obviously, Reid and his family decided they were on board with Reid jumping right into another job, rather than taking time off. That decision should be respected.
However, the template for today's NFL coach is to find someone bright, passionate and energetic, capable of enjoying an 8-10 year run of success, before some of that fire dissipates. Three of the past four Super Bowl-winning coaches fit that mold—Mike McCarthy, Sean Payton and Mike Tomlin. Jim Harbaugh, John Harbaugh and Mike Smith are also cut out of that cloth.
At 54, Reid is still young enough, especially when you consider that the NFL's oldest coach, 66-year-old Tom Coughlin, won last year's Super Bowl. But is Reid motivating today's players as he once did? It didn't appear that way the last two years in Philadelphia. Many Eagles talked about how much they respected Reid, how good of a man he was, and how much they enjoyed playing for him. But you couldn't tell that on Sundays. Better for a coach to have his players loathe him and win, rather than love him and lose.
One candidate the Chiefs should have interviewed is Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, who knows the AFC West. McCoy has shown flexibility, changing the offense last season when Tim Tebow became the Broncos' starter, and now working with Peyton Manning as the Broncos ride an 11-game winning streak into the playoffs.
If someone else hires McCoy, and he turns into the next McCarthy or Payton, or one of the Harbaughs, the Chiefs may regret it. Look for Reid to hire former Cleveland Browns general manager Tom Heckert or Green Bay Packers director of football operations John Dorsey as his GM. Like he had in Philadelphia, Reid will have power over personnel decisions, which means the GM will report to him.
Reid's best times in Philadelphia were from 2000-2008. Over the past four seasons, Reid was 33-33 (including 0-2 in the playoffs), and he was 12-20 the past two seasons.
That does not sound like a coach the Chiefs needed to hire so quickly. Reid used to be one of the NFL's best coaches. Now he must prove he still is.

U.S. potato production rose 8% in 2012, but U.S. citrus production was down 4%.
About 463 million cwt. of potatoes were produced in the U.S. in 2012, according to one of two year-end summary reports released Sept. 19 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service.
According to the other report, citrus utilized production in 2012-13 totaled 11.2 million tons.
The NASS potato report also found that harvested potato acreage was 1.13 million acres in 2012, 5% more than in 2011. The average yield last season, 409 cwt. per acre, also was up — 10 cwt. more per acre than in 2011.
While potato production was up in 2012, the crop's value, an estimated $3.73 billion, was slightly down from 2011. And the average per cwt. price, $8.65, was 76 cents lower than the year before.
The NASS citrus report found that Florida accounted for 63% and California 34% of all citrus produced in the U.S. in 2012. Texas and Arizona accounted for the balance.
Florida's orange production, at 134 million boxes, fell 9% from the previous season. Bearing citrus acreage in Florida, at 489,600 acres, was 5,500 acres below the 2011-2012 season.
In addition to production, the value of the 2012-13 citrus crop, $3.15 billion, also was down from the previous season. The value of the U.S. orange crop fell 21% and grapefruit 13%.

Possible Hall of Famer?
by, 08-07-2011 at 07:11 PM (5656 Views)
Hello again. This next blog is all about a man who I think should be inducted into next years hall of fame.
Look, he wasn't exactly graceful in the ring and cut a pretty awful promo. He relied on strong heel managers and gifted tag team partners to carry him through sometimes, and people may regard him as a bit of a freak show. But that said, he did make a HUGE impression in the WWF (as it was then) Fueded with many of the top guys at the time, held multiple championships, had runs as heel and face and was certainly one of a kind.
If you havn't guessed already, I'm talking about Yokozuna.
In his run up to Wrestlemania 9, Yokozuna had already put many superstars out of action, including Hacksaw Jim Duggan (with 4 Banzai drops!) He also won the Royal Rumble, eliminating Savage last, and went on the defeat the Hitman for the title at Wrestlemania. He was then forced to drop the title to Hogan on the same night, but would ultimately be the man to kill Hulkamania. Hogan was not seen in the WWE for 9 years after being squashed by Yokozuna's massive arse at the King of the Ring PPV in 1993.
Yokozuna continued to sit on people for the next few months, until his fued with Lex Luger and his 'Captain America' gimmick. After being 'bodyslammed' on an aircraft carrier, he lost to Luger via count-out at Summerslam, but kept his title. This fued would continue into survivor series, where he would set up, in my opinion, his best fued.
Undertaker can work with anyone, in my opinion, but it was Yokozuna's facial expressions as he bounced Undertaker's head off the steel steps with no effect or watched in terror as his opponent sat up after recieving a couple of thunderous leg drops. There is nothing like watching a 550lb man running away in pure fear and Yokozuna sold that fear beautifully. Their feud was great because you believed that Yokozuna was unstoppable until he came up against Taker. It all culminated in a casket match at the Royal Rumble for the title which I was sure Taker would win. This match ended, of course, with the kafaybe 'Death of the Undertaker' in which all the heel characters teamed up to finally dump Taker in the casket. I feell the ending to this match is highly underated, getting both wrestlers over in their respective heel/face roles and giving Yokozuna another HUGE scalp in the process.
So onto Wrestlemania, where Yokozuna potentially had to wrestle 2 matches in one night. It proved to be that way and he defeatd Lex Luger (DQ) in his initial match to become the first heel champion to successfully defend his title at Wrestlemania. His euphoria would not last, however, as he would drop the strap to Bret Hart later that night. Yokozuna's reign as champion had lasted an impressive 280 days.
After losing to a returning Undertaker in late 1994, Yokozuna took a little time off, and returned to team with Owen Hart as his mystery tag team partner at Wrestlemaina 11. They won the titles and held on to them for 6 months before losing them, gaining them back the next night, then losing them again the same night to the Smoking Guns. It would be Yokozuna's final title reign.
A few months later, Yokozuna would have a face turn. He fell out with another wrestler in Jim Cornette's stable, Big Van Vader. This feud included Vader breaking Yokozuna's leg and medical staff having to lift him out of the arena on a forklift truck. It was clear by this point that Yokozuna's weight had gotten out of control and he was finding it increasingly more difficult to perform in the ring.
Eventually Yokozuna was released by the WWF because of his massive size. He became too much of a liability for them and, although I am sure they offered him help with his problems, he was just unable to lose enough weight for them to take him back. He passed away in a hotel in England in October 2000.
So there you go. Once again, not the greatest talent as a wrestler but a fantastic entertainer who, for 3 years in the early 90's, bulldozed his way through the WWF. I, for one, have many fond memories of Yokozuna and hope it will only be a matter of time before he is added to the Hall of Fame. I think he deserves it.

KINGSBURG, Calif. — California table grapes begin to hit their stride after Labor Day weekend, offering good eating quality and promotional opportunities, such as back-to-school and three colors, say grower-packer-shippers.
"From Labor Day on, the reason you get excitement over grapes is because for the most part, peaches and nectarines are done," said David Stone, owner of Valhalla Sales and Marketing Inc., Kingsburg, Calif. "You're getting into volume of some very high quality grapes. Plus grapes are huge promotional items because there isn't a lot of competition."
John Pandol, special projects manager for Pandol Brothers Inc., Delano, agreed.
"I think the best thing is we start to see the summer fruit wane," he said. "The mid-fall grapes have the biggest number of varieties and some of the best flavors, and they're coming off fresh. That's when consumption peaks is in September."
The high quality, good color and large berry size that retailers have seen with this year's California's summer table grapes should continue into the fall varieties and fall marketing season, grower-packer-shippers said.
The 2012 season also is on a more normal schedule and about 10 days to two weeks ahead of last year, giving the industry about two more weeks of marketing time this year, Stone said.
The Fresno-based California Table Grape Commission released an updated crop estimate July 19 of 100.9 million 19-pound box equivalents. That's up slightly from its initial estimate in April of 100.8 million boxes.
Shipments historically peak in September, but many grower-packer-shippers said they'll have table grapes into the holiday season, thanks to newer, late-season varieties and vineyard covers that protect the fruit from rain.
In late July, Nick Dulcich, owner of Jakov P. Dulcich & Sons, Delano, Calif., said the market was strong and he anticipated it continuing, even as more volume comes on.
"It looks good for us," he said. "It looks good for the retailers, and that's important. It's important for them to do well."
Even as summer varieties transition into fall grapes, George Matoian, a salesman at Visalia Produce Inc., Kingsburg, Calif., said many promotions will still carry the same theme.
"We'll still be promoting all three colors in addition to the red globe, which is a seeded variety," he said, referring to green, red and black grapes. "Red globe will take off, especially if we see the red seedless market creep up on the f.o.b. prices ― red globe may be more promotable."
Moving into fall, Crown Jewels Produce, Fresno, Calif., offers a host of green, red and black seedless varieties ranging from the popular crimson, autumn royal and autumn king to the lesser-known vintage red and luisco, said Atomic Torosian, managing partner.
"What we like to see is a good mixture of colors and large displays," Torosian said.
In fact, research by the table grape commission found that displaying all three colors of grapes together helps boost overall category sales, said Karen Brux, vice president of marketing communications.
Although schools in some area may start before Labor Day, Justin Bedwell, president of Bari Produce, Madera, Calif., said Labor Day still marks the official kick-off of back-to-school promotions.
"Back-to-school is a big one for us," he said. "I think as far as planning for the calendar, Labor Day is still that magic date."
Bari Produce will have the green seedless autumn king, the red scarlet royal and the black autumn royal in standard packs as well as a 4-pound clamshell for club stores until about mid-December.

March is around the corner, which means many people are starting to think about spring cleaning. But cleaning products can be pricey.
It's not common for people to discuss how much money they spend on sponges, paper towels and Windex, but these different cleaning supplies can add up to several dollars.
How can you save money on cleaning products? Here are three frugal ways.
1. Avoid specialty products
These days, products are marketed for every specific surface in our home. Stores sell individual cleaners for stainless steel, granite, windows, wood, tile and tubs. The list feels endless. These niche products can get expensive quickly.
Be judicious about buying surface-specific products. Try a "multisurface cleaner," which is formulated to clean many surfaces, including desks, countertops, windows, tile, tubs and appliances.
Use discretion, though. Some surfaces, such as wood, genuinely require a particular type of cleaner. This is because wood is porous, and waters and dyes can harm it.
2. Be wary of brands that lock you in
I recently spotted a new type of mop. The "squirting" mechanism is built into the handle, so you need to buy a compatible cleaning solution cartridge from the same brand. You also need to buy compatible mopping pads.
Once you buy the mop's base unit, you're locked into buying the same brand's accessory products. Another company's design might not be compatible.
That's a problem, because it means you can't compare prices. You're stuck.
Avoid these types of products. Buy versatile cleaning hardware, even if it costs a little more money upfront. You want the freedom to be able to shop around for the accessories.
3. Subscribe and save
Remember, you don't need to buy cleaning supplies from the store. Websites such as Amazon.com often carry basic household cleaning supplies, like kitchen sponges, at a fraction of the price that you find on your local shelves.
You can save even more money by using the "subscribe and save" option, which gives you an extra discount if you "subscribe" to these supplies. I have a 24-pack of kitchen sponges delivered to my house once every six months. The sponges cost significantly less than they do at the store, and the delivery is free. It's a win-win; I enjoy low prices and convenience, and the merchant gets a repeat customer.

University Accreditation Visit Scheduled for Mid-March
Last Modified 11:25 AM, January 3, 2013
The Higher Learning Commission operates the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP).
March 2, 2012—
On March 14-16, 2012, Michigan Technological University will host a quality checkup visit with two evaluators representing the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).
HLC accredits colleges and universities in the North-Central region. Michigan Tech has been continuously accredited since 1928. In 2005 Michigan Tech chose to be accredited under the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP), which is an alternative to the process requiring a university-wide self-study. The quality checkup visit is the final step in the process to reaccreditation.
The campus community is invited to meet with evaluators, Charles Harrington and Kathryn DeBoer, to discuss the University's quality programs. Several open meetings have been scheduled for Wednesday, March 14.
Open Meeting with Students
1:45 to 2:30 p.m.
Memorial Union Ballroom B
Open Meeting with Faculty
2:45 to 3:30 p.m.
Memorial Union Ballroom B
Open Meeting with Staff
3:45 to 4:30 p.m.
Memorial Union Ballroom B
University-wide Reception
4:30 to 5:30 p.m.
J. R. Van Pelt and John and Ruanne Opie Library, Opie Reading Room
As part of Tech's AQIP program, the University has engaged in projects to improve faculty and student diversity, international experience opportunities, academic advising, classroom upgrades and professional development. Michigan Tech has established University student learning goals as part of its process to improve assessment of student learning; completed a review of our systems portfolio; and attended two strategy forums.
"I am looking forward to the visit of our expert evaluators," Provost Max Seel said. "This is the culmination of a long journey toward continuously improving what Michigan Tech offers to its stakeholders, and it is very important for our reaccreditation. I am looking forward to two days of engagement and communication with our evaluators and to learning more about how we can make the Michigan Tech experience even more valuable."
For more information, visit AQIP or contact the AQIP liaison, Associate Provost Christa Walck at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

State Dept. description of attack in sync with GOP
Tue., Oct. 9, 2012, 11:26 p.m.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department says it never concluded that an attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya was simply a protest gone awry, a statement that places the Obama administration's own foreign policy arm in sync with Republicans.
That extraordinary message, appearing to question the administration's initial description of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, came in a department briefing Tuesday — a day before a hearing on diplomatic security in Libya was to be held by the Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
The committee's chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has accused the State Department of turning aside pleas from its diplomats in Libya to increase security in the months and weeks before Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans died in the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. One scheduled witness Wednesday, Eric Nordstrom, is the former chief security officer for U.S. diplomats in Libya who told the committee his pleas for more security were ignored.
Briefing reporters Tuesday ahead of the hearing, department officials were asked about the administration's initial — and since retracted — explanation linking the violence to protests over an American-made anti-Muslim video circulating on the Internet. One official responded, "That was not our conclusion." He called it a question for "others" to answer, without specifying.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly on the matter, and provided no evidence that might suggest a case of spontaneous violence or angry protests that went too far.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Republican lawmakers have increasingly sharpened their criticism of the administration's initial explanation of the attack. They said they never accepted the original explanation.
It was a top administration diplomatic official, United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, who gave a series of interviews five days after the attack that wrongly described the attack as spontaneous.
She said that the administration believed the violence was unplanned and that extremists with heavier weapons "hijacked" the protest against the anti-Islamic video. She did qualify her remarks to say that was the best information she had at the time. Rice since has denied trying to mislead Congress.
A concurrent CIA memo obtained by The Associated Press cited intelligence suggesting the demonstrations in Benghazi "were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo" and "evolved into a direct assault" on the diplomatic posts by "extremists."
Nordstrom, the former security official in Libya, addressed the diplomatic security issue in an Oct. 1 email to a congressional investigator. He said his requests for more security were blocked by a department policy to "normalize operations and reduce security resources."
A memo Tuesday by the Oversight Committee's Democratic staff provided details of Nordstrom's interview with the panel's investigators. In that interview, Nordstrom said he sent two cables to State Department headquarters in March 2012 and July 2012 requesting additional diplomatic security agents for Benghazi, but he received no responses.
He stated that Charlene Lamb, the deputy assistant secretary for international programs, wanted to keep the number of U.S. security personnel in Benghazi artificially low. He said Lamb believed the Benghazi facilities did not need any diplomatic security special agents because there was a residential safe haven to fall back to in an emergency.
Nordstrom's Oct. 1 memo to the congressional investigator said, "You will note that there were a number of incidents that targeted diplomatic missions and underscored the GoL's (government of Libya) inability to secure and protect diplomatic missions.
"This was a significant part of (the diplomatic) post's and my argument for maintaining continued DS (diplomatic security) and DOD (Department of Defense) security assets into Sept/Oct. 2012; the GoL was overwhelmed and could not guarantee our protection.
"Sadly, that point was reaffirmed on Sept. 11, 2012, in Benghazi."

The Yankees must really, really hate us....
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008

NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
Aside from Sabathia's performance today, the Yankee starting pitching has been excellent this postseason. The offense has been beyond anemic. Most of the bats they have right now were on the 2009 title team and it worked out fine then: A-Rod, Jeter (hurt), Swisher, Cano, Texieria...
I'm so tired of this Bruce Springsteen song they use in every single promo.
Is this three World Series appearances for Leyland? Two in Detroit and one in Florida? He's a great manager. He also had Pittsburgh on the cusp of a World Series. They went to three straight NLCS and lost in heartbreaking fashion.
How about that gem Zito delivered last night? Series is going back to San Francisco.
Giants have to face Carpenter Cery seriously doubt hes off two games a row. And even if he is Lohse will be pitching a game 7
If the Cards come back from this then I will suspect divine intervention
I love this. After my asshat Cardinals fan friend gloated with glee the Reds blowing a two games series lead, the Cardinals turn right around and do the same. Priceless. If they come back from this I will get a sex change.
What about the job Bruce Bochy has done in SF? Two world series appearances in three years. This year he had to deal with the Cabrera suspension (he was leading the NL in BA) and the fact that Lincecum isn't what he used to be. This Giants team continuously has had their backs against the wall, but they have always found a way to win. It's a cliche', but it's the truth here.
San Francisco's crowd is awesome. They have great baseball atmosphere there. I was fortunate enough to see a Giants-Cubs game out there in 2008 and it without question one of the best sports venues I've ever been to. It has to be a very comfortable for the players because the weather doesn't get hot.
This world series between the Tigers and Giants is a matchup of two managers who always seem to get the most out of their team.
So because his friend made fun of his team for losing, he's not allowed to do the same?
I put up with a bunch of cocky Cardinals fans after they won it last year and I don't live anywhere near St. Louis. I don't even care if the Giants go on to beat the Tigers. I would have puked if that team won it again when they needed a rule change just to make the playoffs.
That was a huge game for the Giants to win. Tigers have to win Game 2
Smothered Chicken!

Meh, not great but not bad. I was expecting a stronger flavor but until the end of the bag where all the mix was it wasn't that savory. Won't purchase again due to the price and lack of wow factor.

State Lawmakers Want Added Price Protections At The Pump
As fuel prices across the country continue to rise, two state lawmakers want consumers to be protected from price spikes at the gas pump. State Senator Eric Adams and State Assemblyman David Weprin introduced a bill this week that would require all gas stations to post signs with contact information for the State Consumer Protection Board.

Thanksgiving has come and gone. You and the bird are way past stuffed at this point. Now the real horror show begins. The holiday season!
Besides fighting the crowds, the traffic, and the insanity, the absolute worst part of the holidays is figuring out exactly what to get your wife. Every woman is different, so I can't even presume to tell you what you should buy for the gorgeous lady in your life. (Though I've heard this Fifty Shades of Grey thing is gonna take off ...)
I will, however, tell you what not to do. There are certain gifts that the majority of women, regardless of their interests, will downright hate. And by hate, I mean smacking you upside your head with a frying pan. Keep your head intact and read on to see the 8 absolute worst gifts you could ever give your wife.
A Weight Watchers Scale - Really, this can apply to any type of scale, but a Weight Watchers one with inspirational phrases just seems to make things worse. And seriously, WTF are you thinking? A scale? Do you have a death wish? Why don't you just buy her an XXXL T-shirt that says, "My husband thinks I'm morbidly obese"?
Lip Wax Kit - Yeah, see, there is absolutely no way to explain this one. None. You're toast. You're history. You'll be sleeping on the couch if you're lucky. And good luck trying to sleep with a baseball bat shoved up where the sun don't shine.
Porn - Yeah, I know some women do actually like it. And I "hear" that guys enjoy watching this stuff too. But giving porn to your wife as a present pretty much says, "I think you suck in bed, and not in the good way. Watch this and you may learn a thing or three."
A Vacuum Cleaner - This goes for most appliances. Toaster. Microwave. Iron. These are more like necessities for your house. Things your wife will use to make YOUR life loads better and easier. Don't insult her by thinking she loves doing all those chores and is just dreaming of a new Dyson vacuum.
Feminine Hygiene Products - Yes, women use these every single month, but really, you're going to give the woman you love basically a membership to the Tampon of the Month Club?
PlayStation 3 - Wow, that's a real generous gift you're ponying up! And it comes with a slew of violent first-person shooter and sports games? You're too too kind. Maybe you'll pause long enough to let your wife go get you a beer.
Gift Certificate to BoobJobsRUs - It's one thing to joke with your wife about getting a boob job (BTW, don't joke with your wife about getting a boob job), but actually buying her gift certificates to have it done is an entirely different story.
Spanx - Okay, so yes, we know about them. But we're not supposed to. Let women keep their secret. Don't ruin the lie.
What's THE worst gift your husband ever got for you?

Curl to Toe Career Makeover
Give yourself a career makeover whether you just started your first job or need some help dressing for your next interview.

Makeup for the Office
A good rule of thumb for appropriate office makeup is to keep it simple. You don't want anything flashy that screams "I'm going clubbing right after this." You want to look gorgeous, but not unecessarily glamorous. As with the hair, a well done face shows that you sacrificed time to look presentable. For those sales driven jobs that require face time with prospective clients, looking presentable is even more important.
- Cover up blemishes: Use a long lasting foundation that can cover up blemishes for the entire work day.
- Finish with light powder: Cover a shiny nose with a light layer of powder.
- Use a rosy blush: A rosy or natural-looking blush will help you look energized and ready for the day. It will look the most natural if its close to the natural warmer tones in your skin.
- Stick to neutral eye shadows: Use brown, beige or pearl eye shadows that will help you look awake, but won't draw too much attention to your eyes.
- Use natural-looking lip color: Stay away from glossy reds or purples that are too conspicuous. Go for colors that almost almost match your actual lip color.
- Don't forget the eyebrows! It may seem unnecessary, but clean, well groomed eyebrows show attention to detail that employers appreciate.

San Francisco Giants All-Star third baseman Pablo Sandoval is listed as day to day after he felt numbness in his fingers from right elbow pain before Sunday's spring training game.
Sandoval hurt his arm on a throw during infield practice, manager Bruce Bochy said.
Sandoval told the San Francisco Chronicle that he first felt something in the elbow when making a throw to second base on Saturday.
Sandoval told the newspaper that he'll have tests today and wouldn't give a possible timetable for his return, adding, "I don't think it's something serious."
According to Bochy, Sandoval will get treatment on the elbow today and possibly Tuesday, and Bochy, like his third baseman, doesn't think the problem is cause for alarm.
"We think he'll be fine," Bochy said after the Giants' 9-7 win over the Colorado Rockies. "But there's always some concern anytime there's an issue with the arm. Right now we feel like it won't be too long.
"He's had this before and came back fairly quickly," Bochy added, "so we'll see where we're at in the next day or two."
Sandoval, who is batting .435 in spring training with 10 hits in nine games, was replaced in Sunday's lineup by Joaquin Arias. Bochy also has Wilson Valdez and Kensuke Tanaka available to play third in Sandoval'sabsence if needed.

Your average Little Poland customer likely is a blue hair, and the restaurant's worn wood interior bears some aesthetic similarity to a retirement home dining room.
But poke around the menu and you'll see that this decades-old Polish joint isn't just serving geriatric food. Their Bigos, for instance, is impressive, well worth an order at the counter.
Bigos is a meatatarian's vegetable stew of sauerkraut braised with several cuts of meat. At Little Poland it's fork-tender pork shoulder, fatty kielbasa, and some bacon for good measure. Somewhere between refreshingly pickled and over-the-top porky, it's the kind of hearty food you'd do well to eat more of now.
Little Poland's bigos is best set apart by its delicacy—the mild sauerkraut doesn't overwhelm the meat, as can happen with too vinegary of a braising liquid—but its defining feature may be its service vessel. You can order the bigos with mushroom gravy and sticky, gnocchi-like potato dumplings (halusky) for $9.50, but an extra 50 cents gets you the stew in a bread bowl instead, the perfect thing to soak up all those braised cabbage juices (and bacon fat).
No, the dish may not look like much, but looks are rarely a priority with Eastern European food. Here the beauty's more than crust-deep.

Imtiaz Kamal and Asma Zubair
Imtiaz Kamal, known as Pakistan's grandmother of midwifery, directs her efforts to promoting the midwifery profession in Pakistan. Imtiaz has worked with WHO as a midwife consultant, developing midwifery curriculum, training midwives and midwifery teachers and developing teaching and learning materials for the study of midwifery. She is also secretary general of the National Committee for Maternal Health (NCMH), vice president of the Maternity and Child Welfare Association of Pakistan (MCWAP) and president of MCWAP's Sindh Chapter.
Imtiaz has worked as a midwife in Pakistan for 50 years and says that she has lead a one-woman crusade for the promotion of midwifery as a modality separate from nursing, which is only now beginning to show fruit. Currently she is working to develop regulatory mechanisms for the practice of midwifery in Pakistan as none have existed to date. She is also working on the development of a curriculum for domiciliary midwives. Imtiaz received her midwifery training in the UK and pursued a master's degree from Columbia University in New York. She has worked in more than 50 countries through various UN organizations in the field of maternal and child health.
Asma Zubair lives near Lahore, Pakistan. She is a student nurse in her fourth (final) year, being trained in midwifery. Asma tells us: "I have passion to be expert at midwifery. Actually, Midwifery Today has been an inspiration for me. You do not know but it has helped me a great deal. It would be a great pleasure for me if I could do something for the mothers and babies of our world."
- Midwifery Association of Pakistan—e-mail address: firstname.lastname@example.com "We want people from all walks of life to support Midwifery Association of Pakistan because mothers cannot be saved by midwives alone. We believe that maternal and neonatal deaths are not a medical problem only. Also, for the midwives to work in a community, they need all kinds of support and linkages. We want our membership to reflect that. Only midwives will be full-fledged voting members of MAP because it is a professional organisation of midwives. People from other walks of life may work on different committees and help and guide the organisation."—Imtiaz Kamal
Update on Pakistan
After half a century of a "One woman crusade," the Midwifery Association of Pakistan (MAP) was established in February 2005. It got registered in Pakistan in 2006 and became a member of ICM in 2007. A dream come true. Even though it is less than three years old it has made a lot of progress. It has been represented in two international conferences: The international Forum for Midwifery in Tunisia in December 2006 and in Women Deliver in London in 2007.
Mission: to contribute to the reduction of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in Pakistan by providing skilled care to women during the entire maternity cycle irrespective of the place of delivery.
The justification for creating MAP was that 80% of the deliveries are conducted at home by untrained personnel. In developed countries 80% of the deliveries are conducted by midwives. Pakistani midwife also want to play the same role for women of her country.
There are more than 350 members, including nurse-midwives, midwives and health visitors from all over Pakistan.
Midwifery Association of Pakistan
Development of the Midwifery Association of Pakistan (MAP) is progressing well. A few doctors have applied for the membership.
MAP will have three types of members: (1) The regular paid and voting members, i.e., annual or for five years or life members. They must be licensed midwives; (2) Honorary members, who will be awarded membership because they have proven by deeds their commitment to the promotion of midwifery in Pakistan; and (3) Supporters of midwifery, individuals who request membership and promise to make a contribution to advance the profession of midwifery. They can graduate to Honorary membership after they have proved their worth. If they do nothing they can be dropped after three years.
Categories 2 and 3 do not have to be licensed midwives, e.g., a very famous journalist/philanthropist is building a midwifery school in Pakistan. This will be the first ever school in Pakistan built specifically for midwifery training. He has been awarded Honorary membership.
We want people from all walks of life to support MAP because mothers cannot be saved by midwives alone. We believe that maternal and neonatal deaths are not a medical problem only.
Also, for the midwives to work in a community, they need all kinds of support and linkages. We want our membership to reflect that.
Only midwives will be full-fledged voting members of MAP because it is a professional organisation of midwives. People from other walks of life may work on different committees and help and guide the organisation.

Hailing from Australia, a psychedelic rock music band Tame Impala is ready to have a blast on stage in your city. Tame Impala tickets are your chance to witness a great performance by the band as they rock the stage with their beats making the crowd go crazy. With a brilliant lineup and amazing tracks, Tame Impala will provide the audience with non-stop entertainment.
Although the ensemble was formed in 2006, they kept a low profile and didn't have any big successes. Tame Impala came up with a self titled EP in 2008. The band finally rose to prominence in 2010 with the release of its debut record, "Innerspeaker" and earned much deserved acclaim, becoming one of the most talented rock bands in their home country. The album was critically lauded and Pitchfork called it 'Best New Music'. It was also nominated for the J Award. The group members have described themselves as "a steady flowing psychedelic groove rock band that emphasizes dream-like melody." The band's lineup consists of the vocalist Kevin Parker, drummer and backing vocalist Jay "Gumby" Watson and Julien Barbagallo and bassists Cam Avery and Dominic Simper.
With three incredible singles, "Desire Be, Desire Go", "Skeleton Tiger" and "Half Full Glass of Wine", Tame Impala reached number one on the Australian Independent Records, also hitting number ten on the ARIA Physical Singles Chart. The group toured in 2008 along with the other bands like, You Am I, Yeasayer, MGMT and The Black Key. Tame Impala has also performed at various venues and festivals, with Tame Impala tickets selling out in advance. They featured in Meredith Music Festival, Falls Festival and Southbound event. The members embarked on a national tour as well to support their EP. The single "Sundown Syndrome" by the band was featured on the Oscar nominated movie "The Kids Are All Right". Another track "Half Full Glass Of Wine" was included in the hit television series of HBO, "Entourage".
In 2010, Tame Impala made an appearance at the Big Day Out, performing alongside music bands The Mars Volta, Muse, Rise Against and Kasabian among others. The band has also toured on an international level and performed at festivals in London and Unites States. The band won multiple nominations for ARIA Music Awards in 2010 in the categories of 'Breakthrough Artist', 'Best Rock Album', 'Best Group' and 'Album of the Year'. 2011 was the year when the band took home a number of awards such as the 'Most Popular Act', 'Best Rock Act' and 'Most Popular Live Act' as well as individual honors like the 'Best Guitarist Award'.
Tame Impala came up with another album Lonerism in 2012 and it was received well by critics. The group has collaborated with several other artists on many projects. The unique sound of Tame Impala draws its inspiration from various styles and artists. The group members cite Todd Rundgren, Supertramp, Ratatat, John Lennon, Outkast, King Crimson, and Massive Attack as an influence.
The band comes up with astounding numbers and its live concerts are worth attending. Tame Impala is one of the most fantastic psychedelic rock bands with a pure, rhythmic sound. It is a great opportunity for you to listen to some amazing psychedelic rock beats by this talented Australian music group with your Tame Impala tickets. The guys are amazing on stage and sure know how to put on a fabulous show. If you have never seen the group performing live, then you should not miss your chance to be a part of the upcoming concert that is anticipated to be brilliant.

TPWD Unveils Slate of Possible Regulation Changes
AUSTIN, Texas — Among the possible changes in hunting and fishing regulations next year, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is considering altering restrictions on spotted seatrout in the Lower Laguna Madre and a 16-inch maximum length limit on largemouth bass on a handful of lakes.
TPWD staff briefed the Regulations Committee of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission Wednesday, Nov. 1, on a slate of possible changes designed to increase recreational opportunity and further enhance the state's fish and wildlife resources.
The annual regulatory review process begins each fall after resource assessments by biologists and game wardens, as well as independent recommendations received from various groups. During this scoping portion of the process, TPWD gathers public input and weighs the biological implications of each issue before presenting the commission with a set of proposed regulation changes in January. Additional discourse is sought during special public meetings in the spring, and the commission at its April 2007 meeting determines the final regulation changes.
The most dramatic change being discussed addresses coastal fisheries biologists' concerns about declining numbers of legal-sized spotted seatrout in the Lower Laguna Madre bay ecosystem compared to historic levels. Although officials point out the seatrout populations in this bay system are on par with numbers statewide, they believe proactive steps will help ensure and enhance the future health of this world class fishery.
TPWD will be gathering public input during the next six months on a variety of strategies emphasizing possible reductions in daily bag limits to achieve management goals.
In addition to regional seatrout regulations, TPWD is considering the following potential changes.
- Increasing the minimum length limit on sheepshead to provide sufficient protection for this popular fish to reach sexual maturity and thereby ensure sustainable productivity.
- Provide protection for diamondback terrapins by banning harvest. Biologists are concerned about the possibility of a growing commercial market for the species.
- Increase the minimum length limit for retention of a tarpon to 90 inches.
- Expand current rules prohibiting use of airboats to rally or harass schools of fish to include all boats.
- A modification to the spring Rio Grande turkey season to offer better hunting opportunity to hunters. Two years ago TPWD simplified spring Rio Grande turkey seasons by merging the north and south zones into a single zone and increased hunting opportunity by adding a week to the season. In the process of monitoring and evaluating the new season, staff has concluded that while the 44-day season is fine, hunting opportunity can be optimized by reinstituting the zone system, allowing the South Texas season to open earlier and the North Texas season to run later.
- Eliminate the double tagging requirement for mule deer on properties operating under Managed Lands Deer permits and make those permits available for use during the archery season.
- Increase the possession limit for striped bass on Lake Texoma to 20 to eliminate confusion among anglers and more closely align with Oklahoma limits.
- Create a 16-inch maximum length limit for largemouth bass on a handful of lakes to address management concerns over lack of improvement in bass population structure and current limits. Seven lakes are being considered, including Bridgeport, Bryan, Cypress Springs, Georgetown, Hawkins, Joe Poole and Nacogdoches.
Public comment about these issues and others of interest may be made to TPWD, Regulatory Proposals Public Comment, 4200 Smith School Road, 78744, by phoning 800-792-1112 or by visiting the Web (http://tpwd.texas.gov/)
