Beach Spider Lily(স্পাইডার লিলি) - Hymenocallis littoralis
This is the first time I have seen this flower at my last tour, Rangamati(রাঙামাটি). Found the flower at the rooftop balcony of a Hotel from there. This flower is called as Beach Spider Lily. Botanical name of the flower is Hymenocallis littoralis. This flower is from the family Amaryllidaceae. This is native to Mexico and Central America.
This perennial evergreen plant is very suitable for indoor ornamental plant. This plant can sustain in low sunlight. Flower used to bloom during summer to lat autumn, but require proper watering for perfect blooming. Plant is not that much taller, but the axis that generates from the flower can be taller and holds up to 4-6 flowers. Looks like a spider for long petals.
Spider Lily is a white flower and has spider like long petals. This looks something like the feet of a duck. The filament is stuck inside the petals and then extended further. It holds the yellow stamen at the top. The flower has an attractive fragrance, some people call this similar to vanilla.
This flower probably doesn't produce flower(my conjecture). So the plant usually propagates using the bulb. By separating a mature bulb, you can easily grow a new plant.
It was a moonlight night of a rainy day. After the dinner, just wandering at the rooftop, and enjoying the cloudy full moon. Suddenly found this flower at the corner of the roof. Just captured few shots so that I can identify the flower after returning back to Dhaka.

Juvenile says Lil Wayne wanted to leave the Cash Money label in the mid 2000s and adds that, "Wayne really got beat out of all his money." The Juvenile/Cash Money saga has been a long one. After he began his career as a Cash Money artist, Juvenile and the label have been at odds over financial matters. Now, Juvenile is speaking on how other artists wanted to leave soon after he left the CM ship. In an interview with Complex , Juve talks about how Lil Wayne once wanted to leave too. "When Wayne was trying to leave Cash Money [in the mid 2000s], same thing," he explained. "He was trying to find out how did I leave, what did I do, he wanted to see my paperwork. I was like you can see it, but you're gonna have to pay me for it now because now I know you ain't with me. You're own your own because I'm definitely on my own. If you want the paperwork and help from my end, I need to be compensated for it. [He never paid for it]." Juvenile also added that he feels "Wayne really got beat out of all his money." "Still up to the day, Wayne really got beat out of all his money and took another contract. That's the part I never understood. I was signed to Atlantic and Jay-Z was excited about that because now we was about to get our own money. That's what I really wanted. I wanted him to leave. All of a sudden he signed back I'm like, 'Damn, what type of deal he got working?'" Juve went on to say that Cash Money is still not giving Wayne what he deserves. "If you notice the Young Money/Cash Money imprint, some of the stuff that need to say Young Money don't say Young Money. I know Baby and I know Ronald ["Slim" Williams]. They ain't giving up power of their company. They don't care how big Wayne gets, they not giving up. If I didn't get it, he ain't getting it." Juvenile went on to add that he felt Wayne was "scared" to leave. "I thought he was scared [that's why he stayed]," Juvenile explained. "That's how I took it. I was like, 'You don't have to be scared.' I'm really from the projects. No disrespect to them, but I'm 10 times more street than they are. They would never go to some of the places I'd go, they'd never turn some of the corners I turned because they're not like that. It's two different ballgames. So I'm like, 'Don't let them niggas intimidate you. Don't let that looking hard shit intimidate you because nigga I'm really with it. If you wanna leave, leave. You're with me now, not them.' One thing led to another and he signed back, but I took it as he was scared."

Terry, a manager at a financial firm, discusses his challenges dealing with an uncommunicative peer:
I've given up trying to make amends with my colleague, Ron, and our firm's CEO. Both of them are angry with me.
Ron is angry that I went behind his back to tell the CEO that Ron "isn't exactly easy to get on the phone." It's true, but no one seems to care about that.
The CEO is angry because he thinks I'm unable to work with a colleague—that it's somehow my fault. In the last month, I can tell the CEO is less and less interested in me.
I've decided to put all this behind me and spend more time cultivating relationships with other managers. That way, I don't need to rely on Ron as much.
Actually, I can't rely on Ron because he continues to refuse to reply to my e-mail or phone messages. It's impossible to work with him.
In reaching out to other influential folks, I'm starting to see all kinds of benefits. Lots of key people here didn't really know much about me. Once they learn what I can do, they want to work more closely on projects.
I'm careful not to bash Ron when I talk to other managers. I don't want to speak negatively about anyone right now. It's better to look ahead, not back, and focus on how I can collaborate with the right people.
Yeah, the CEO may never give me the credit I deserve. And Ron has outmaneuvered me. But I can't control that. If I prove my worth and win over others throughout the company, I'll come out ahead.

Espargaró on top as Márquez crashes
|A. Espargaro
|J. Lorenzo
|V. Rossi
11 July 2014 – Aleix Espargaró set the pace in Friday morning's first free practice session at the Sachsenring, as Marc Márquez suffered a heavy crash.
Márquez, looking to extend his 100 per cent victory record for the season, lost control of his Repsol Honda machine at the exit of Turn 2 early on.
After initially struggling to stand up, he hobbled away from the scene and avoided a trip to the medical centre.
With serious injury seemingly avoided, Márquez opted to head back out on track with his second bike some 15 minutes later, the Spaniard moving as high as second but dropping down to sixth as rivals found time.
Forward rider Espargaró's pace-setting time of 1:22.170 came in the closing minutes of the session, usurping works Yamaha team-mates Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi and the satellite bike of brother Pol (Tech 3).
The latter's team-mate, Bradley Smith, fell twice during the 45-minute outing but escaped unharmed.
Gresini's Álvaro Bautista was the fastest of the Honda competitors in fifth position, placing just ahead of home rider Stefan Bradl (LCR), the aforementioned Márquez and the remaining factory bike of Dani Pedrosa.
Pramac team-mates Andrea Iannone and Yonny Hernández rounded out the top 10 positions.
Friday's second practice session at the Sachsenring gets underway at 14:05 local time (GMT +1)

Full Makeover for Wood Frame House at 162 Hall Street
There's a wonderful row of a dozen or so wood frame houses on Hall Street between Myrtle and Willoughby Avenues that feels largely untouched by time — or by the money that's flowed into the neighborhood over the past decade. One of these houses, No. 162, is in the process of being gut renovated. In recent weeks, it's gotten an entirely new exterior, wood cladding that will presumably be painted. Given that the house was boarded up before the renovation began, we're assuming everything's being redone from scratch on the inside. Even if it was a complete wreck, though, the price this place changed hands for last year seems suspiciously low: $250,000. The house had been in foreclosure so maybe someone just got lucky. GMAP

Former JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Kenneth "K.K." Downing — who turned 62 on October 27 — has posted the following message on his official web site, KKDowning.net:"Well, it's that time again! Another birthday comes around! "All of you that were there with me in the late Sixties, Seventies and onwards will know what I mean. "Isn't it crazy that Mick Jagger is 70, for example? And Jimi Hendrix would also have been 70 this year. "Anyway, not to be too down about it, because at least we were there to witness everything that is relevant to the music that we know and love today. "I always say that I couldn't have been born at a better time. I was just in my early teens when John Mayall, CREAM and all of the early blues artists were just coming to fruition along with THE [ROLLING] STONES, PRETTY THINGS, TROGGS and THE KINKS, etc. "This was all back in the day when music was everything to us, and it was all we had and we were more than happy with just that. Although I can remember having an insatiable appetite that always wanted feeding, so I had to go to concerts and festivals as much as I could. That's because what I wanted was still scarce on radio and television. "I seem to remember being 16 and there was only the late and great John Peel who played anything close to what we wanted to hear. Although John's taste was often a little too diverse for me, including, for example, T.REX, CAPTAIN BEEFHEART and the THIRD EAR BAND, John was still the greatest pioneer and champion of our cause at the time. "Am I jogging some memories here? "Again starving for the real thing, I was lucky enough to see two shows on this Jimi Hendrix tour, Coventry 19th of November and Bristol 24th of November 1967. Please check out the link and see if you recognise any of the amazing support acts. I can't remember which tour it was but can remember being ecstatic when I myself with PRIEST played these venues later on, especially following in Jimi's footsteps playing on stage right. "Here is another great venue close to my heart: Newcastle City Hall — where PRIEST have played many times. I have only just found out that the tour went there. It is said and written that the great Lemmy himself was also working the tour as a roadie. I have hung out with Lemmy many times and never knew this; otherwise I would have wanted a gig by gig report off him. "Anyway, my devoted friends, it is for sure that the Internet is our greatest friend and our worst enemy at the same time. But I am certainly grateful to the Internet today, in order to be able to bring this blog to you now. "Please take care and please continue to feed the flames of metal." Downing, who is a founding member of the British heavy metal legends and was part of the group since 1969, announced his retirement from PRIEST in April 2011. He has since been replaced by Richie Faulkner, most recently guitarist in the backing band for Lauren Harris (daughter of IRON MAIDEN bassist Steve Harris).

Fehr knows tactics at NHLPA's disposal
Published January 10, 2011, Page 32
The hiring of Fehr will give the NHLPA the ability to counterbalance the power that NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has exerted within the league the last five years, as a result of the leadership void at the NHLPA.
Fehr, the former head of the Major League Baseball Players Association, was hired by the NHLPA in 2009 to oversee the search for Paul Kelly's replacement. The players ultimately determined he was the man for the job. Initially reluctant, Fehr was persuaded and will take the job on his terms and conditions.
Certainly no one needs to be educated as to Fehr's qualifications and experience. He is no stranger to collective-bargaining agreement negotiations or player issues. Some may question his hockey credentials, but Bettman came to the NHL from the NBA without any NHL experience. Being a hockey neophyte does not seem to have hampered his growth and progress as commissioner. Fehr may not have known every rule of play the day he took office, but he certainly knows the intricacies of negotiating a CBA that deals with all the issues facing players in professional sports.
So what can we expect from Don Fehr?
History tells us he will approach the labor negotiations (the current CBA expires in 2012) in a cool and dispassionate manner. Bob Goodenow was viewed as a fiery and hot-tempered leader. The public perception of Goodenow and Bettman was that they had a very personal and abrasive business relationship.
Watching baseball negotiations during Fehr's MLBPA tenure, which included lockouts, strikes and a lost season, Fehr projected, for the most part, a calm demeanor. His press conferences and negotiation updates tended to be businesslike and factual even as a season was canceled and negotiations were failing. No one doubted the resolve of the MLBPA, and Fehr seemed to steer a steady course and held to the players' public positions.
If we accept the proposition that the current NHL CBA is flawed and needs to be changed, what can we expect in 2012? Will there be a strike or lockout?
Fehr is familiar with the tools and tactics available to the NHLPA and NHL. The NHL used the lockout in 2004 and set the stage for the season to be canceled. Goodenow led a strike in 1992, three weeks before the playoffs. Both sides know these are legitimate and legal tools of labor negotiations, and both options are on the table for 2012.
If history is a predictor, we can anticipate that Fehr will be very active and directly involved in face-to-face negotiations with Bettman. The stakes for both sides are high. The NHL faces many serious issues, including franchise stability, contract flexibility, salary escrow, television contracts, player safety and revenue sharing. The hard cap of 2005 has not worked; the poor teams are still poor, and the rich teams are getting richer.
One thing does seem to be clear based on what we know about Fehr. If there is a strike or a lockout, it will not be a result or consequence of a lack of effort or commitment to serious negotiations. The NHLPA and Fehr will spend the time and effort necessary to determine whether the NHL wants a true partnership with the players or will seek a continuation of the current flawed deal. Negotiations will not be affected by the personal (or lack thereof) relationship between the parties.
Fehr knows he works for the players and Bettman works for the owners. The goal will be a mutually beneficial agreement that both sides can live with. Whatever deal they make in 2012 (or 2013) will be the result of a negotiation, not the capitulation of 2005.
If the 2012 season is lost, it will be nothing personal, just business.

In 2003 we were introduced to AEON, an organization working to create and sustain affordable housing. This was a mission we both strongly supported. How could anyone hold a job, get a good education, and raise a family without home? We both agreed we must be a part of AEON. We have toured building projects, attended first shovel events, listened to residents' stories, and met the outstanding, dedicated staff. We have introduced AEON to many of our friends and business associates. Many have become active. Our only frustration is not being able to provide more funding. We believe AEON is strengthening individual lives and our community. It deserves your support.

Watch Cade & Todd at CorbinFisher.com
Corbin wrote:
I think it was pretty clear, when he got paired up to bottom for Brent, that Todd had a real curiosity about doing stuff with another guy and was more than willing to get fucked. It was pretty hot seeing the looks of obvious pleasure on his face as Brent did him, and immediately after I filmed that video I decided we really had to get another one shot, as well!
With Todd being so big and muscular, Cade seemed like a perfect partner for him as he is also a big, muscular, buff stud. Clearly, Todd appreciated that fact and you can see that from the looks on his face as the action gets going here! Just as he did with Brent, Todd gets this focused look on his face, as well as a smile he can't hide, that betray the fact that he couldn't possibly be more excited about what is going on. I think we've officially passed the "curious" stage and are at the point where he's just doing what he loves to do! As Todd sucks Cade's dick, it looks like a labor of love. I don't think I've ever filmed a guy enjoying themselves so much while sucking off a fellow CF stud. There are times where he's obviously sucking with the intention of making Cade feel good, but other times where he's obviously just relishing the fact that he has another man's dick in his mouth and is entirely consumed by that fact.
By the time we get to the fucking, both of these guys are in top form! Seeing all that muscle flexing, tightening, and glistening with sweat is pretty damn hot, and hearing Todd's moans as Cade pumps his ass is hot as heck. Cade's dick is definitely thicker than Brent's but Todd handles it with no problem!
There's something insanely hot about seeing a stud as big and buff as Todd getting totally worked over by Cade. He obviously couldn't be happier as Cade pumps his ass, and the closer he gets to orgasm the more he begins to talk dirty and beg for Cade to fuck him harder. Todd looks like he's in heaven as he covers his own rock hard abs in his load while Cade fucks him. He looks even more in heaven when Cade cums in his mouth!

Hehe, I'm glad you did.
Malaz wrote:I can't wait till little Ashes and no Salvador Dali wasn't gay--i should know. He was married to a woman named Gala (her real name was Elena). sooo, i don't really get the question?? ^^
Well, Malaz, my love, like I mentioned in my previous post, I said that I wasn't sure if it did, since I just got that info from some website. And I did find the website now, so I don't know if you guys want to read the article, but here's the link anyways.
Little Ashes article
So in that article, it mentioned that Rob is "portraying the artist Salvador Dali who engages in a rumored homosexual affair with poet Federico Garcia Lorca". So I'm guessing that this movie will cover some gay relationship? I'm not too sure. But one thing I am sure about is that I want to watch this movie! Hehe<3
But yeah. Well, to answer that question, I wouldn't mind if Rob would take on a role like that. I mean, it is really brave of him to take on that role, as it is a challenge by itself--the character he's portraying is complex, and it's not gonna be easy. I'm just glad he's broadening his horizons and not really sticking to the whole 'teenage' craze. I could understand Twilight, but still. Rob is mature, and I'm glad he's taking risks with the roles he auditions for. I'm sure he'll do an amazing job anyways.
So. After all said is done, should we have a new topic now? Anyone have any ideas?
(And I'm guessing everyone saw that picture of him with his sweats/pants down, right? If not, well... you might want to take a cold shower afterwards. )
Hm. Someone make a topic. I have nothing. And I don't know how often I'll check--seeing my time here is so limited nowadays.

Bart Cummings will have his chance to secure an unbelievable 13th Melbourne Cup when his two stayers line up for the race today November 6, 2012.
The Cups King, as he's commonly known, will be represented by both Sanagas and Precedence in the 2012 Melbourne Cup.
Despite both horses not being well supported in the betting markets, Cummings is hopeful that this will be his year- again.
Sanagas is currently paying odds of $51 to win the 2012 Melbourne Cup at bookmaker.com.au.
The six-year-old is yet to win a race in Australia since arriving here earlier this spring.
The Lomitas gelding is a Group 1 winner in America and will be looking to find that form when he runs in the 2012 Melbourne Cup today.
Cummings is optimistic about his winning chances but understands there is a lot of classy competition.
"It is a very open Cup, lot of chances," Cummings said.
"Sanagas and Precedence are going OK, no problem – actually I'm pretty happy with them."
Sanagas' most recent result was a 10th placing in the Group 1 Caulfield Cup on October 20, 2012.
"Sanagas didn't get a lot of room at Caulfield and he got to the line well," Cummings said.
"Flemington will suit him. Those big tracks in Europe, he is used to them, and he is used to the distance, too.
"He's put on a lot of weight since he's been here, he's going pretty good."
Precedence will return today for his third attempt at the $6 million Melbourne Cup.
He placed eighth in 2010 behind Americain, before passing the post in 11th place last year.
Cummings feels that the 2012 Melbourne Cup may well be the seven-year-old's best chance.
"He's by Zabeel and they improve with age," he explained.
"This is the best he has been since we have been training him."
Precedence has won seven of his 44 race starts and has earned more than $1.02 million in prize money.
The Zabeel gelding is paying odds of $101 to win the 2012 Melbourne Cup at bookmaker.com.au.

Apolo Ohno is a triple threat! But not in the typical singing, dancing, acting way. He's an eight-time Olympic medalist, a "Dancing With the Stars" champion, and now a game-show host! The new iteration of "Minute to Win It" will have Ohno at the helm, and we have an exclusive sneak peek of the GSN series premiere for you now.
In this clip, identical twins Dominic and Stefan (or the pink team, from the looks of it) are competing for $5,000; all they have to do is pick one team member who'll attempt to unravel two spools of party streamers by wrapping them around his arms. The time he'll have to do it: 60 seconds, of course.
[Related: Brooke Burns to Host GSN's 'The Chase']
Stefan's up, the timer's counting down, and (wow) this looks a lot harder than one might think. His arms have got to be getting tired. What about Ohno? He looks and sounds like a pro! He just might have the charm and enthusiasm to pull off this new gig in a big way.
To find out whether the twins get the job done or are eliminated, tune in to "Minute to Win It" when it premiers Tuesday, 6/25 at 8 PM on GSN.

Every time Midge Ure hears the Band Aid classic "Do They Know It's Christmas?," he marvels at all the song has accomplished.
"It's still very evocative," says Ure, who co-wrote the song with Bob Geldof to raise funds for famine relief in Africa in 1984. "It still gets the back of my neck up."
Ure, who is planning a special acoustic show at Page One in Glen Cove on Jan. 8, and a short U.S. tour next year to test the waters for a full-fledged reunion of his band, the new wave pioneers Ultravox, says he never dreamed he would still be hearing the song on the radio today.
"It was an important song at the time, and it was important for it to become the Christmas No. 1 [in England] to get attention for Africa," Ure says about the song featuring everyone from Sting to Bono. "But I have a house north of Montreal, and there's a station there that plays nothing but holiday music, and it's hard to believe that 28 years on, that song is still there playing next to 'Silent Night.' "
More important, he says, is that teachers tell students about the back story of the song and its charitable origins. "They're passing the baton on to the next generation," Ure says. "Now, the kids know the reasons. It's just phenomenal."

Howard turns himself in
Howard never failed to woo the Tory faithful at conference time
Michael Howard, who is leaving the Tory frontbench after 14 years, will be best remembered for his forthright and uncompromising stance on crime while home secretary.
It was while serving under Prime Minister John Major that he issued what was to become the famous rallying cry - "prison works" - and ended suspects' right to silence.
Although his tough stance on law and order played well at Tory conferences, his polices were often toned down by the House of Lords and were strongly criticised by the legal profession.
He spectacularly failed to win the Tory leadership when John Major stepped down in 1997, coming last in a field of five candidates after his campaign was scuppered by a few choice words from his former Home Office junior, Ann Widdecombe.
He had, she said, "something of the night about him".
He eventually lost out to the man who had, at one point, agreed to campaign under him, the former Welsh Secretary William Hague.
Michael Howard was born into a Jewish family in south Wales in 1941.
After attending grammar school he went to Cambridge University where he enjoyed a stint as president of the Union in 1962. After graduating he was called to the Bar.
He entered Parliament at the third attempt, taking the seat of Folkestone and Hythe during Baroness Thatcher's landslide election victory in 1983.
His ministerial career got off to a rapid start. By 1985 he was a junior minister at the Department of Trade and Industry.
He was promoted further once John Major took over from Baroness in 1990, serving as employment and environment minister, before finally becoming home secretary in 1993.
It was while in that post Michael Howard attracted a wide range of criticisms both from professional bodies and even his Tory predecessors.
His plans to remove the right to silence came in for strong criticism from judges.
His proposed reforms of the police force drew fire from former Tory Home Secretary Sir Willie Whitelaw who said they would politicise the police "to an unacceptable degree".
After losing out to William Hague in the Tory leadership contest he was handed the post of shadow foreign secretary where he has relished attacking the often embattled Robin Cook.
He recently delighted his enemies by spending a night in Brixton Prison for charity.

Facebook introduced another small design tweak to its groups, de-emphasizing the search feature, while assigning permanent tabs to about, events, photos, and docs.
As reported by sister blog Inside Facebook, the search box is gone form group pages, replaced by a small search icon all the way on the right-hand side under the photos.
The about section is not as prominent, either, as the short description that previously appeared on the group page is now housed behind a tab.
The new design is pictured below, followed by the older version.

A Lewis County attraction will kick off its Christmas season Friday.
Jackson's Mill will kick off its annual Winter Lights festival with luminaries and a tree lighting, Friday at Saturday night.
The event will include a holiday buffet on both days.
The Mill is expanding the event this year to include a craft show.
Organizers said they want to remind people to slow down and enjoy the season.
"It wasn't the hustle and bustle of shopping so much as it was family time during the holiday season, and by doing the white lights the simple white lights here it's to get people slow down and take a breath," said Dean Hardman, of Jackson's Mill.

I'm currently having a debate with a presuppositional apologist on YouTube, and as far as I can tell I am destroying him. I've been saving screenshots of each exchange in the debate to make sure I have a permanent record of it, as well as to put it into a blog post so that others can see it and perhaps gain a better understanding on how to deal with these people.

A little while ago I stumbled across this series on YouTube, and it is without a doubt the most brilliant refutation of presuppositional apologetics, specifically Sye Ten Bruggencates', I have ever seen on the internet. I suspect that even Sye would be left looking like a complete idiot if responded too in this way, because it not only debunks every sentence that he says, but actually makes all his arguments work against him rather than for him. Everyone should definitely check this out, and…Continue

In the philosophical competition of worldviews many Christians use the "free will defense" as a way to excuse their god's apparent moral negligence in this world. Supposedly the value of free will is greater than whatever evils may result from establishing moral beings who have this opportunity to do both good and evil and suffer or profit as a result of it. I've taken the liberty of assembling all of my analysis of this popular move of theirs. Enjoy.…

The naturalist understanding of morality asserts that we have evolved empathy as an impetus to cooperation. Combined with personal experience, empathy leads most of us to a "Golden Rule" sense of morality. From experience, I know what hurts me: with empathy, I know the same things likely hurt you too. Experience and empathy is all we need to decide most moral matters. "Do unto…Continue

They accuse me of shutting out the "evidence" they have to "prove" god's existence. They say I am doing what I accuse them of doing: sticking fingers in the ears and screaming, "La-La-la!

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for COSACOSA art at large, Inc., Philadelphia, PA, USA
COSACOSA came into my community to listen and help us achieve our dreams of beautifying the neighborhood by cleaning up an old vacant lot. Personally, I didn't expect to learn how to make art or to garden but I did. And I also learned alot about my neighbors especially people with cultures different than mine. We've grown closer as a community and have worked together to change not just the lot but our entire block. The work continues and COSACOSA is right there with us.

When it comes to getting down and dirty, gear selection can make all the difference. At the end of the day a rider may lament how their jersey was just too hot, or how their 'waterproof' pants weren't really waterproof. It's isn't unheard of for entire trips to be ruined because of simple gear malfunctions. As one of the premier reviewers of the latest motorcycles and gear, MCUSA has become well aware of this. To set our readers up for success while off-roading we've compiled a helpful list of appropriate equipment in our 2011 Motorcycle Gift Guide to Dirt Gear. After all, a happy rider is a comfortable one.
Troy Lee Designs Adventure Jersey and Pant
Troy Lee Designs' newest addition to their dirt lineup is the Adventure Jersey and Adventure Pants. Designed by none other than Rick Johnson – yes, THE Rick Johnson – the Adventure Jersey and pants are for the avid off-road rider that spends the day in the desert or mountains and doesn't return until the sun is well below the horizon. Both pieces feature reflective logos for night riding. The fit is loose and comfortable, and is the usual TLD quality. When I don't want to stand out on the trail but still look good, I grab this gear. – Justin Dawes
Adventure Jersey MSRP: $55.00
Adventure Pants MSRP: $159.99
Fox Racing HC Race Jersey
Showcasing polyester fabric and sublimated graphics, the Fox Racing HC Race Jersey is a basic design that will work for most entry-level track riders. The material is breathable and includes a V-neck comfort collar and rib knit cuffs to ensure a proper fit. A back panel drop tail helps the jersey stay tucked in during aggressive riding, and the overall contour is designed to work with most racing postures. Clean, fade-free graphics round out its features.
Shift Racing Reed Replica Jersey
Do you live and breathe everything Chad Reed? Well, Shift has Aussie lovers covered with its TwoTwo Motorsports' Reed Replica Jersey. Featuring the same graphics that former AMA Supercross and Motocross champ Chad Reed wore during his 2011 campaign, the design is made of moisture wicking polyester with mesh side panels for more airflow. Light padding in the elbows help at absorbing impacts, and the jersey features athletic cuffs along with a stretch gusset to dial in a proper fit at the wrists. A drop tail keeps the jersey tucked in, and the V-neck collar is perforated for increased airflow. The jersey comes in three color variations which Reed wore throughout the year, and is available in sizes small through 2X.
One Industries Defcon Jersey
Constructed with some of the finest materials available, the One Industries Defcon Jersey caters to off-road racers. Developed as a premium race jersey, the design features nine individually cut and sewn panels that together form the bulk of the jersey. Meant to be worn in an aggressive race stance, the Defcon Jersey has articulated sleeves with padded elbows in addition to venting panels that keep you cool. Polyester and moisture managing materials help reduce perspiration, and padding along the collar boosts overall comfort when wearing a neck brace. At only $49.95 it's hard to find another jersey with as many features.
Klim Dakar Pants
Over the years Klim has become associated with some of the most advanced, hardcore adventure gear on the market. Because of this it's only natural that Klim should create the Dakar Pants, which aim at being some of the most technologically advanced riding pants. Made of Cordura fabric and consisting of TNP heat and abrasion resistant material, the Dakar Pants are capable of adapting to a variety of environments whether it be hot or cold. Ballistic panels exist in high-wear areas such as the inner legs and knees to increase durability. The design also features removable hip and knee pads. Meant to be worn over the boots, the Dakar Pants feature controlled ventilation via two adjustable thigh mesh vents with dual zipper heads. For added function there's a polyester ribbed gusset at the inseam and above the knees which allow the material to move with the rider. There's a long list of additional features, and in the end they combine to create some of the most versatile pants.
JT Racing Classick Gear
JT Racing is back! The iconic apparel maker disappeared from the moto landscape but has introduced a new set of pants, jersey, gloves and helmets. All of the gear is made with modern materials and techniques, but JT gave it retro styling as a throwback to the glory days. The Classick pants have heavy-duty leather panels on both knees and thigh vents that help pass cool air. The Pro-Tour Jersey has lots of venting under the arms and at the neck collar. It uses padding on the shoulders and elbows to help minimize crash damage. The Life Line gloves are probably the coolest ones I've ever seen, and they fit great and provide protection. Considering how great this gear looks and the way it draws attention, the fact that it performs great makes the JT Racing gear a done deal. – JC Hilderbrand, Off-Road Editor

Diversification key to survival
The Deluxe Group in Portadown is one of many fit-out and joinery firms in Northern Ireland.
All have had to diversify and adapt to a challenging economic climate across Ireland, which has seen fewer new shops, offices, hotels and pubs being opened on either of the border.
MJM Fit-Out in Newry, Co Down, has spread its wings to work in the marine sector, including superyachts. It has refitted cabins, restaurants, bars, atriums, cinemas, passenger circulation spaces and crew areas.
Two years ago MJM won a £5m deal to fit out a restaurant for the celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in London.
McCue Fit-Out in Carrickfergus has worked on for major retail clients such as Urban Outfitters and Hamleys, fitting out five floors for an overhaul of the toy giant's flagship shop in London.
It has also worked on fit-outs for hairdresser Peter Mark in Dublin, fast-food chain KFC in Blanchardstown, Co Dublin, coffee chain Starbucks in London and for designer clothing brand GANT in Edinburgh.
Responding to the Deluxe Group's recent success, Invest NI chief executive Alastair Hamilton said: "The impact of the downturn on local construction companies has been well documented and it remains vital for the sector to innovate if they are to maximise business opportunities."
Deluxe had proved that it was adaptable enough to thrive, Mr Hamilton said.
"Deluxe has fully embraced research and development and used it effectively to develop new manufacturing techniques and new products so it can compete in the high value luxury design and fit out market," he said.
"It is very positive to see how this has allowed Deluxe to diversify and seek out significant business opportunities in new markets, particularly Europe, and set a firm foundation for future growth."

A few weeks ago I received an email from Bob Batz Jr. of The Pittsburg Post-Gazette. Bob was wondering if he could reference our "Great Nanobrewery List" for an article he was writing about some up and coming Philly nanobreweries.
It was a fun list to compile over the last 18 months and I think it has been well received.
But then on Friday Beer Briefings scribe, John Holl, read about his Brewer's Association Craftbeer.com article being quoted and he had this to say about it:
Confused by the headline?A few weeks ago I wrote an article for Craftbeer.com about the growing trend of nano breweries in the United States.It was a lot of fun to write and I think it was well received.On Thursday, friend of the Beer Briefing Julia Herz sent me an email with a link to an article in the Pittsburg Post-Gazette on the rise of nano-breweries in the Keystone State.....
I love it! It's a blog quoting an article quoting another article. I couldn't help but take up his torch and continue to quote a quote of a quote. While I'm at it I'll include my quote from the Post-Gazette for prosperity's sake.I love it! It's an article quoting an article. Now, I'm mentioning it on the blog.It's all about sharing the news about good beer.Now, we just need to see if we can get someone to write a blog about this blog which is about an article inside an article…
From the Philly Post-Gazette:
Now it's official. It's a blog quoting a blog quoting an article about another article. So hopefully the title makes sense.Michael Skubic, of Hess Brewing Co., "San Diego's first licensed nano-brewery," keeps a list of other nanos on its blog, hessbrewing.blogspot.com. As of the end of February, he was tracking 54 in operation and 39 in planning (including Saint Benjamin Brewing Co. in Philadelphia)."It does appear to be a trend with no clear end in sight," he says, noting that "there are probably dozens more of active 'nano' breweries that I have not found yet."Of course some little breweries don't stay little for long. Since Mr. Skubic started "The Great Nanobrewery List: From CA to MA" a year and a half ago, he's seen numerous ones outgrow his three-barrel definition of a nano.
But I plan to further deepen this rabbit hole by quoting Jon's original article here as well:
"It's got to be a side job," said Mike Hess the brewer and president of San Diego's Hess Brewing, which produces about 1.6 barrels of beer per batch. "Producing this low of a volume of beer wouldn't support many lifestyles or raising a family."Hess, who works in the financial services industry, opened his nano-brewery in July 2010. He estimates that he spends about 20 hours a week brewing in an 800-square-foot garage that also serves as a tasting room.
All joking aside. It is pretty awesome how many nanobreweries are in planning and/or opened throughout the USA and beyond. I have a few more to add to the list this month!
Now if I could just get someone to re-tweet about the tweet I am about to tweet about this blog...
Read John's full article here and Bob's full article here.
Cheers Bob and John!

Music has always been a constant in my life. It's always been one of the few things to keep me sane, drown my sorrows, or even continue to uplift my spirits on a sunshiny day. Some of my fondest memories are just driving along I-5 on the west coast blasting some classic rock n roll and some 90s boy band ballads. Maybe it's because I've always wanted my own soundtrack, something out of your favourite movie or that one string of scenes that changed your life, that I always have my iPod and earphones close. Or maybe it's because I've been chasing perfection my entire life and music was the one way I came even remotely close to being 100% at anything.
What I'm trying to say, I guess, is we all have to find that one thing that makes us feel perfect. That makes us feel like we're having a constant out of body experience, even if for just a moment or two. And that makes us feel out of our element. Whether it is with a pen in your hand or on stage in front of thousands of people, whatever makes you feel perfect—hold onto that, hold it close. Whatever keeps you moving and grooving, whatever makes you feel like time has stopped and you're moving on air, never let it go. Find your inner peace and run with it.
Sometimes, you just need to get away and music provides that escape. It brings you to some of your best, and yes, even your worst-memories. It makes you realize you're not alone and that somebody out there, no matter how briefly the song lasts, has felt the same exact way. And sometimes, all you need to do to get back on track is to jump behind the wheel and blast your favourite song and sing along. Do what makes you happy and find your own personal soundtrack. Find the rhythm in the silence and find the beat in the crowded streets. Music is everywhere—you just need to know where to listen.
Let's Chat!
Everyone needs to plug into that thing that makes their soul smile. What's yours?
- Tell us about the thing that makes you groove--music, dancing, art, coding, basketball, writing, making the perfect apple pie. Don't feel like you've find your groove or maybe you feel out of tune? Grab your bestie and start a new activity or hobby together and see what happens!

This production poses for the umpteenth time the hoary philosophical question, "If a tree falls in the woods, and no one hears it, does it make a sound?"
It's not the play itself that's directly concerned with this conundrum, however. Rather, it's the fact that the play is being performed before virtually no one. At a recent Saturday evening performance, there were only two people in attendance, myself included.
Dramatic performances are ephemeral enough as it is, even when witnessed by a standing room-only crowd. Do they etiolate to the point of meaninglessness when there is no one there to see them?
There are two schools of thought on that subject. One says it's pointless and even ridiculous for actors to spout their lines into the empty air unreceived. The other says that art should go on even if it takes place in a vacuum. Most of us will never see a Bengal tiger in the forest, adherents of the second school point out, but it's good to know they are there nevertheless.
Those who are bucked up by the thought that there are actors somewhere in the tucked-away recesses of the Metroplex thrashing out obscure plays on small stages before rows of empty seats can take heart. The New Theatre Company is doing just that at the Swiss Avenue Theater, an easy-to-miss space quartered a stone's throw east of Deep Ellum.
Its performance of The Conquest of the South Pole marks the play's third American production, the first in the Southwest. A German work in English translation written by contemporary author Manfred Karge, it enjoyed a two-year run in Chicago before catching the eye of New Theatre Company artistic director Bruce Coleman.
The play's German origin is enough to give canny theatergoers pause. From a British play you might expect wit or at least good craftsmanship. From a Latin or South American play you might expect emotional heat. The French, though useless in most other ways, can usually deliver a little charm or sex. But the Germans, God help 'em, are generally as leaden in literature and drama as a Panzer tank.
That's pretty much the case here. The story concerns four hapless fellows who are languishing about in an attic. They are at the point of despair and even suicide because joblessness has robbed them of a sense of purpose. To combat their angst and ennui they decide to emulate a turn-of-the-century Norwegian expedition to the South Pole. The lan and because-it's-there spirit of the polar explorers inspire them.
Their game becomes an obsession, and they go so far as to study the habits of sleigh dogs, steal exploring equipment from a local store, and read up on how to prepare pemmican, all in order to bring verisimilitude to their fantasy. The attic becomes Antarctica, with tables substituting for sleighs and white bedsheets on a laundry line substituting for sheets of ice.
Conflicts arise when one of the "explorers" rebels and wants to forsake the Norwegian expedition to follow the course of a similar British expedition to the pole that did not meet with success. His point seems to be that since their jobless lives are goalless, they should imitate an expedition that did not reach its goal, either. The group's visionary, Slupianek, insists on adhering to the original mission, since he views success, even if only imaginary, as vital to the group's well-being.
It strains credulity to the breaking point to think grown men would indulge in these kinds of antics, of course. Still, audiences are perfectly willing to roll with just about any premise provided it's sustained by humor, imagination, or sharply observed characterization. The problem with the play is that it lacks sufficient doses of any of these. There are few, if any, clues as to what animates these people; who they are, where they come from, and what their point of view is. Why are these characters so enervated by unemployment? What did they do when employed that gave them the satisfaction they now lack?
These questions are not explored, and it is not until the second act and the introduction of two auxiliary characters that we meet anyone with a distinct personality or agenda. The rest of the play is taken up by either abstract and rather tedious minutiae regarding polar exploration, or by a directionless series of discussions regarding the characters' disaffection and depression. It doesn't help that the play lacks a linear plot and is presented in a series of loosely tied-together vignettes, or that the actors speak in a distracting amalgam of German and Eastern European accents.
The pathos generated by The Conquest of the South Pole arises merely from the fact that it is a marginal work being performed for next to no one by talented and committed actors. Jim Jorgensen is particularly good as Slupianek, the group's guiding force. His striking bald pate, goatee, and slender, sinuous form exudes an ambiguous charm, as he is both caring and conniving in achieving his goal. The glint of fanaticism in his eye coupled with a seductive smile makes him the most watchable actor on stage.

Charlotte Akin also turns in a subtle and effective performance as the world-weary wife of one of the explorers. She conveys a sense of hidden sorrow and reserves of strength that reveal themselves in one of the play's few telling scenes, in which she guns down Slupianek's prized pigeons. Jim Hines also is good as Brautman, a character who secures employment but finds that it is not as satisfying as the fantasy game his friends are playing. Hines projects a sense of fragility and vulnerability, as if his character has been through a frightful ordeal, but his behavior is a mystery never properly explained.
The rest of the cast of eight contribute energetic performances, though they have little to work with in the way of characterization. Despite the under-written material and the paltry audience, however, no member of the cast loses focus or breaks concentration for a moment.
So does a falling tree make a noise if no one's in the woods, and, more important, does it matter? I suppose the answer is that it matters to the tree, but apparently not to anyone else.
The Conquest of the South Pole plays at the Swiss Avenue Theater through October 7. Call 520-

LOS ANGELES — Oscar season must be here, because accuracy is an issue again.
After nine months of forgiving Hollywood its biggest fish stories — zombies as fast as Olympic sprinters, a college for monsters — the awards season ushers its annual raft of biopics and dramas based on real events, starting with Friday's opening of the Somali pirate thriller Captain Phillips. Films on Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, Princess Diana, Wall Street stockbrokers and soldiers who recovered art stolen by Nazis soon will follow. And with them comes the inevitable accusation that studios shun the truth in exchange for profits, despite claims of veracity.
While accuracy claims are nothing new between studios vying for Oscar attention, observers say the backbiting has become especially pronounced. Last year's three leading contenders for best picture were based on real people and stories, and all were targets for getting history wrong.
Zero Dark Thirty, the story of Osama bin Laden's death, became mired in attacks by some senators over details of the raid. Lincoln sparked the ire of House representatives from Connecticut, which the film incorrectly claimed voted against the amendment to abolish slavery.
Even Argo, which would win best picture despite openly fabricating the final third of its story about the Iran hostage crisis, continues to face backlash. Our Man in Tehran, a documentary about the same story Argo told, hit Canadian theaters earlier this month "just to get the truth out there" about Canada's role in the rescue, says co-director Drew Taylor.
"There was a lot of offense taken here" over the Ben Affleck film, Taylor says. "The posters said the story was real, but then it cut out the Canadian side completely. I know accuracy is a gray area in movies, but when we have the opportunity to get it right, we should take it."
But what is right? Tom Hanks, who plays the real-life Capt. Richard Phillips, concedes the difficulty "in finding the inherent truth when you're also trying to tell a cohesive and dramatic story."
Hanks and director Paul Greengrass spent months at sea to re-create the 2009 hijacking of the Maersk Alabama, a cargo ship seized by pirates who held Phillips hostage.
While Hanks and the film are drawing early awards talk, that story, too, has gone under the public microscope. ABC and CNN uncovered years-old interviews with Alabama crew members, some of whom allege Phillips ignored hijack warnings.
But Hanks says that it's not the role of a film to address every contentious issue of a true story.
"There's condensing that has to happen in a movie, so you can always look at a book and say 'they didn't show this,' and that's true. But that doesn't mean you're falsifying the salient aspects of what happened."
Peter Landesman, director of the new JFK assassination drama Parkland, counters that studios can forget "that it's important for audiences to be able to rely on what they're watching.
"If you say it's a real story and don't make an attempt to get it right, audiences are going to start negotiating with themselves over what's true, and that takes them out of the story," he says. "You have to take poetic license, but you can get so caught up in magic tricks and making the film flashy that it doesn't matter to the story they're telling anymore."
Sang Nam, an associate professor of communications at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn., says the movie business underestimates its role as reporter.
"In a sense, Hollywood serves as another mainstream news feeder," he says. "Hollywood finds real events that were once forgotten and revamps them as newsworthy stories."
But Geoffrey Wright, associate professor of English at Samford University in Homewood, Ala., says we ask too much of our cineplex.
"Let works of art be just that — works of art," he says. "Cinema is an art and a cultural institution. It's not the news. We, as an educated audience, are responsible for going into the theater recognizing that what we are consuming is not objective, documentarian history but rather a subjective work of art."
Art that may never find consensus. "That's always the balance, getting it right and being entertaining," says Peter Berg, director of Lone Survivor, the story of the failed 2005 SEAL Team 10 mission to capture or kill Taliban leader Ahmad Shahd. The story, which details the death of three of the four team members, hits screens nationwide Jan. 10.
While Berg spent months with family members and did research overseas, "the best you can do is to get the spirit of the truth," he says.
"This is how you know if you got a true story right," Berg says. "if you can look the families of the real people involved in the eye and say you did your best to get it right. Their look will tell you if you did."

Global applications of genomics in healthcare: Mexico
Development of institute of genomic medicine
Setting: The institute of genomic medicine
Focus of Intervention: healthcare providers/educators/community
As a developing country, Mexico faces various challenges such as limited resources, lack of adequate nutrition, and a variety of other factors that impinge on the health of its people. Diseases that are chronic, transmittable, and degenerative cause much of Mexico's annual death toll. Moreover, the importing of medicines and other drugs may not be as effective to Mexico's population, its people descendants of over sixty native tribes and the Spanish. Therefore, to ideally treat the people of Mexico that have this unique genetic makeup, it is necessary to devise treatments that will react well with the genetic composition of the people. As with many other countries, these health issues place a burden on the economy of Mexico. The choice Mexico has made is to develop genomic medicine as a way of providing long-term sustenance for the health of its people.
The Institute of Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN for Instituto de Medicina Genómica) is a joint project by the Independent National University of Mexico, the Secretariat of Health, the National Council of Science and Technology and the Mexican Foundation for Health. The goals of this institution are to incorporate genomics into economical methods of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, to enhance genomics training and research, to educate the public, and to make available advances in technology. Among the primary goals of INMEGEN is to characterize the genetic variation of the Mexican people and to determine how drugs respond in them.
Polymorphisms linked to common diseases in Mexico are beginning to be identified, thus providing a platform to develop INMEGEN. The result of this institution is to improve the healthcare of Mexico by focusing on diseases and conditions that are specifically affecting Mexican people, and to develop treatments based on these, rather than focusing on imports from other nation states in the world.

Every employer must take the threat of workplace violence seriously. Sadly, it's a reality of working life these days. No manager wants to be the one who missed signs of trouble, only to have an employee lose control and maim or kill co-workers.
Government regulators such as OSHA hold employers responsible for workplace violence.
The almost universal employer response to increased workplace violence has been the implementation of so-called zero-tolerance policies. The idea is that by banning all forms of threatening and aggressive behavior, an employee's behavior is less likely to escalate into tragedy.
The problem with zero-tolerance rules is that they only work if they're uniformly enforced. Employers can't pick and choose which employee's behavior violates the policy. To do so invites legal trouble, as the following case shows.

Libya in 2012 experienced a tough year of rebuilding and developing institutions in the wake of the 2011 uprising and civil war that toppled Muammar al-Qaddafi. Libya's government slowly consolidated power, secured its borders, and struggled to prevent local militia groups from turning against the government and each other. These militias continued to provide security in lieu of a formal government force, but some of them also attacked the government workers and buildings.
Libya's security remained precarious. Although the overall death toll in 2012 was much lower than in 2011, there were several shocking incidents that underscored security concerns, such as the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three consulate staff members in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Banghazi (Benghazi) by an armed group on September 11. The episode cast a pall over U.S.-Libya ties, particularly after it became the subject of a U.S. government investigation.
Elections in July 2012 replaced the interim council with a new body, the General National Congress. The National Forces Alliance, a coalition of more than 50 self-identified liberal groups, won a plurality of votes, beating Islamist parties, including the Libyan branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Ali Zeidan, a former Libyan diplomat who had been in exile since the 1980s, was chosen as prime minister in October. After several setbacks, including the removal of cabinet ministers under investigation for their roles in the Qaddafi regime, Zeidan's cabinet was sworn in, paving the way for constitutional deliberations and parliamentary elections in 2013.
Libya's economy bounced back sharply in 2012, led by a resumption of oil production. Estimates suggested that real GDP rose by as much as 70%, making up for a contraction of similar size in 2011. Despite some damage to infrastructure, Libyan oil output in the fall of 2012 briefly reached its preuprising level of 1.6 million bbl daily, although average daily output remained somewhat lower. Libya set an aggressive target to increase its oil output to 2 million bbl per day by 2015, a goal that would require significant foreign investment. The non-oil sector of the economy lagged. Libya held savings of more than $100 billion, managed by its central bank and its sovereign wealth fund. Some of these assets were likely to be used in reconstruction, although Libya also sought foreign private investment. A stable security situation and clearer regulations regarding investment were thought to be preconditions for any future investment.

With the news that Magic Mike is headed to Broadway, we've been trying to imagine how the musical would take shape. Thankfully, Roe Hartrampf (Nobody Loves You, Unnatural Acts) gives us a taste of what might be in store.
During a performance with The Skivvies, the actor recreates Matthew McConaughey's monologue from the film's opening sequence before bursting into a medley of sex jams, including "Bump N' Grind," "Pony" and "It's Raining Men." Oh hallelujah, for this man's sexy stripped down version of Magic Mike.
Hartrampf joined The Skivvies at 54 Below where other Broadway stars, such as Annaleigh Ashford and Laura Benanti, showed up to strip down for a special Ladies' Night performance. Check out more videos here.

Crimea, we used to go there all the time, to Yalta. ... And I would wear this Soviet child Speedo, which was very sexy, I think.
And we lived in this underground hut that was owned by Ukrainians and there was a little boy who was even smaller than me, and I was probably the smallest kid in the U.S.S.R., and I would beat him [up], I feel so sorry about it now: A Russian beating a Ukrainian, it sounds so prescient.
But then the next year, a Latvian chicken bit me. And then a few years later, a Georgian kid beat me up. I think there's a lesson in there for Russia somwhere: You're hitting now, but you're going to get your comeuppance someday.
The real country that [the U.S.] competes with economically, in terms of world power, is China and maybe down the line some day, India.
I think Russia really needs attention. This is a country that desperately needs to be on the world stage at all times, otherwise it doesn't feel like a superpower.

All quotes by Steve Nelson
(34 quotes found)
"There's never any quick fixes there. They're always very methodical, thought-out processes of building strong programs. And I can tell you, we will do that here."
"Rock has a great second opportunity but it was an opportunity that was created. We had a game plan but it wasn't an easy one. A lot of former champs don't want to fight in club venues for not a lot of money. But those four fights gave him the ability to realize that he is a winner. People were writing him off as a loser, but he learned how to win again."
"We were criticized for taking that fight but it was the right decision because the interim title made him champion again. But we need this fight against Toney to prove Rock's totally for real, to cement his legacy as a top heavyweight champ. The plan's working and this could be a very exciting final couple of years for Rock. I don't want him fighting until he's 40 years old."

Powter rebounds from very bad days
Daniel Powter (MICHAEL PEAKE/QMI AGENCY)
Bad Day?
Try a couple of really bad -- as in almost life-ending -- years.
Canadian pop artist Daniel Powter says his 2005 hit song Bad Day pushed him over the edge into drugs and alcohol addiction, from which he's only recently recovered.
Now two years sober, the Vernon, B.C.-born, L.A-based singer-songwriter was in Toronto promoting a positive-sounding fourth studio album, Turn On the Lights (which came out Aug. 14), including the first upbeat single Cupid, with plans for a small Canadian theatre tour in January and February.
"Those were tough times for me," said Powter, 41, looking almost unrecognizable -- buff, tanned and with long blond hair pulled back with a headband -- from his Bad Day heyday, during which he was much skinnier and was never seen without a hat.
"After the Bad Day record, I came home pretty exhausted, really disenfranchised, I really didn't want to do it anymore. I was twenty pounds underweight. Heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol ... and as a result became really isolated and disconnected and with that, not spending enough time with my family. I went through a divorce. When I got out of the end of that, I got sober and during that time, I decided I wanted to come back and play more music."
In between Turn On the Lights, produced by veteran hitmaker Howard Benson (Kelly Clarkson, Gavin DeGraw, All-American Rejects), and Powter's 2005 self-titled effort, there was the aptly named Under the Radar in 2008.
Powter said it got to the point where he resented Bad Day -- which won him a Juno, although he didn't attend the awards -- so much that he stopped playing it in concert, which didn't go over very well with fans.
"I just hated Bad Day and I hated being associated with it," he said. "I felt like I was always kind of under the shadow of this song. I would go into a new territory, like for example, Switzerland, and I'm like, 'Here I am,' and the song had already been there and destroyed everything. And I was like, 'I just got here and this thing's already No.1.' I never had to do anything. It was too easy. It's a double-edged sword. The song was so big that it didn't really matter who the person was that was doing it. Three years later the song was still charting. I'm like, 'When is this thing going to do away?' Now it's like, I look at Bad Day like the way you might look at Jingle Bells. It doesn't belong to me anymore, it kind of belongs to everybody. And to me, it's like a Christmas song. And when I look at the song in those terms or that perspective, I actually like it."
These days, Powter is into surfing off the beach in Santa Monica and Malibu, near his Brentwood home.
"I'm happy," he responded when asked why he looks so different. "I'm really happy."
Still, he has one remaining vice -- he smokes.
"Surfing and smoking," he says with a smile.
But he says his relationship with his nine-year-old daughter, Sophie, from his first marriage, is now "closer than we've ever been, we're inseparable," and he has a five-month-old new daughter, Billie, from his current relationship with his former spinning trainer.
"I know it's kind of cliche to say, 'I'm with my trainer,' " says Powter, with a hearty laugh.

May 2009 – Bernie Novak
Feeding our Kids with Energy Efficiency
Bernie Novak, Greening Greenfield's "Green Hero" for the month of May, is a man who has for a long time understood the equation between energy savings and fiscal responsibility.
As Food Director for the Greenfield School Department, delivering 1800 meals a day, he has saved the schools close to $70,000 and hopes to tally up a $90, 500 by the July 1st end of this fiscal year. Eighty percent of savings in the school budget came from the Food Dept. this year, "yet with just under a million dollar operating budget there is very little wiggle room—only 3%—beyond costs", said Novak. Forty percent of the budget comes from food sales in the school dining rooms at a per meal expense of $2.75, but 67% of the students are on reduced rates or free meals. There is no capital money for equipment upgrades from the town either. So how does he do it? This is how our Hero has created a huge success story in the past year and a half.
Utilities are his largest expense. He says much of his savings this year has come from replacing outdated equipment with Energy Star equipment: ovens, ranges, refrigerators, freezers and switching from electricity to gas to run them. "The two large freezers at the High School now use in one month the same energy the old ones used in two days!" said Bernie. These expenses didn't come from his budget but from several grants: the Dairy Council, Project Bread, Mass Dept of Secondary Education and Federal Dept. of Education. He is looking forward to getting stimulus money this summer to continue equipment efficiency upgrades.
In addition to running the food services for all schools in town, Bernie also oversees the food deliveries to the town's Summer Feeding Program which covers Leyden Woods, Oak Courts, Greenfield Gardens, the Swimming Pool, Middle School, Green River, North Parish, Federal St and Newton School programs as well as the YMCA camps. This program is federally funded and advertised and delivers 40,000 meals during the summer.
Bernie Novak has also been instrumental in obtaining all new Energy Star equipment for the new Home Ec Lab at the High School, taught by Paul Williams. The shiny, new Home Ec lab is now being used for regular classes to explore first-hand the chemical, cultural, mathematical examples in real life of processes the students are studying. In the fall, Home Ec will once again return as full-fledged elective course giving countless students the life skills needed for responsible food production and possibly future careers in culinary arts.
Bernie Novak is our Green Hero for the month of May, a time of renewal of earth's productivity. We salute his farsighted vision for energy efficiency in the schools and his many ways of saving the town a lot of money. May his example inspire others.
