You can thank Aaron Spelling for Adrienne Salinger's amusing and poignant images of mid-1990s teens hanging out in their bedrooms, which were collected in a 1995 book called In My Room. In a recent interview with Huck Magazine, she noted that
I actually worked on that project for a long time. I started it on the West Coast, when I lived there, just out of frustration at the ways teenagers were being depicted. Because this was before the internet, this was before computers, and our reliance on television was huge. There weren't a lot of outlets for people to represent themselves, especially young people. There was this TV show I remember around that time, Beverly Hills 90210, and it was just… it was just atrocious.
Every picture is accompanied with some testimony from the subject about his or her own life. Salinger gave her subjects the right to remove any statements that they'd be uncomfortable having appear in print, and they universally moved to strike the statements they'd made on one subject, namely, sex:
It was about three years after I had taken the initial photographs, and you know what's interesting? They were all over legal age by the point that I talked to them again, and every single one of them vetoed my inclusion of anything about sex. So the book, oddly to me, has no sex in it. And the tapes are dripping with sex. Hilarious, teenage, crazy-ass sex.
If you'd like to see more of the images, a great many of them can be seen at Salinger's well-designed website, where the images appear with the subjects' autobiographical statements. Or you can just buy the book.

Before and After: DIY Kitchen Renovation
Before and After: Elle 10's DIY Kitchen Renovation
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member Elle 10 from the Su Casa group:
We loved the bones of the house, but clearly it needed some updates. Over the course of two months, we knocked down two of the walls in the kitchen and moved the plumbing. In fact, we did everything ourselves except new electrical wiring to bring things up to code. We kept the same cabinets, just sanded and repainted them. The ones on the right side now used to be at the far end of the kitchen. We extended the bathroom on the other side of the end wall as the kitchen had plenty of space to work with. I love the gray, magnetic, chalkboard wall and absolutely love the new pass-through and countertop! The floor is in good shape, so we left it for now. Changing that is next on the list!

Computers and video games have come a long way since the days of Pac-Man and Frogger and the amount of time dedicated to playing such games has skyrocketed. Modern technology has made gaming so prevalent that people can play on their computers, tablets, or on the go via their phones.
According to a Kaiser Family Foundation study, young people now devote an average of seven hours and 38 minutes to daily media use, or about 53 hours a week. This type of persistent, prolonged use has various side effects, including medical conditions that impact the hands and wrists.

Amazon has listed a trio of Samsung wearables for pre-order. These include the recently announced Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo smartwatches as well as the Gear Fit fitness band. These all have the expected price points and shipping date, and nicely, all are listed as being Prime eligible.
The shipping date is shown as April 11th, and pricing is as follows; the Gear 2 is $299, Gear 2 Neo is $199 and the Gear Fit is $199. Both the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo are available in a variety of colors to include black, gray, orange and silver. The Gear Fit is available in just one color — black.
Both the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo are IP67 certified, which means they are resistant to water and dust. The specs, while not identical, are similar across both models. They each feature a 1.63-inch Super AMOLED display (320 x 320) and are powered by a dual-core 1.0GHz processor with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. The battery is a 300 mAh that should provide up to 2-3 days of run time. One key difference between the models is the camera. The Gear 2 has a built-in camera that can capture images at up to 1920 x 1080 and 720p video at 30fps.
The Gear Fit features a curved AMOLED display. Specifically, a 1.84-inch display with a resolution of 432 x 128. The Fit tracks goodies such as daily steps, and also features a built-in heart rate monitor. It also pairs with your Samsung smartphone using Bluetooth 4.0LE and can show alerts for items such as caller ID, text messages, emails and more.
Similar to the Galaxy S5, we spent some hands-on time with these wearables during Mobile World Congress. To see those hands-on posts, as well as the original announcement post for these three items — make sure to venture into the Story Timeline sitting below.

About Us
Hi, my name is Jamie and my wife's name is Marianna, and we are Absolute Wedding Films.
Our background with wedding video is certainly not glamorous. In all truthfulness our passion for our work started with unfortunate events related to our own wedding video.
In 1998 Marianna and I were married. Unfortunately, like so many weddings, video was not a high priority item on our list of things to have, but we did have a friend that knew of a company that provided cheap wedding videos so we arranged for them to cover our wedding
On the wedding day the guy arrived and had cameras, so we thought all was well. However, after the wedding day passed we quickly learned that something was amiss.
The problems began with not being able to get in touch with the guy and this continued for 6 years!! YES, YEARS!!
Around the 6 year mark, we were finally able to obtain the video but much to our dismay it was horrible. Although they had multiple cameras, the wedding video that got back to us was only one angle, and that angle truly didn't show anything. The audio was non-existent and you could only hear distant mumblings, sneezes and coughs from inside the sanctuary.
We watched it once and threw it in a box to be stored in the attic. How horrible, considering this could have been a precious keepsake!
While normally this would be the end of the story it was only the beginning of ours. We had seen quite a few other friends' wedding videos. A few of them were nice and showed us what an awesome preservation of a special moment we missed out on, but on the flipside a majority of the videos we saw, quality was absent, just as in our case.
our passion to produce great wedding videos was sparked
By realizing what we missed out on it forces us to new levels of creativity purely out of the desire of wanting every couple we work with to be floored at the quality and long term emotional value of the video that they receive from us. While creating and watching the videos we produce, we can't help but wish we had something of equal quality to show our boys so they could see and hear us on our wedding day.
Thanks for reading about us. We hope you enjoy watching the wedding films/videos on our website and will contact us about filming your wedding. We can quickly verify our availability for your wedding day and send you our unique packaging systems which allows you to custom build your very own wedding video bundle in three easy steps.
James & Marianna Player

By: Joanne Kimes
True story: I went into a clothing store recently and when I couldn't squeeze into any of the pants I was sure would fit, I used my tried and true excuse, I just had a baby. The saleswoman looked at me with compassion, but in reality, my baby is in fourth grade.
It's just not fair that some women can pop out their kid and zip up their old jeans by the time they take their first post partum poop, while others take months, sometimes even years to achieve this goal. And it's also not fair that breastfeeding women often have the hardest time of all. That's because it's simply not true that if you're nursing, the weight will just melt away. Sure, nursing contracts your uterus and helps it return to its pre-pregnancy size. And if your goal is to have a nice taut uterus this summer to show off poolside, you'll be fine. But a shapely uterus is not enough to please most new moms.
If you're nursing, you need extra calories to produce milk so you tend to get ravenously hungry. Also, Mother Nature wants you to be a bit plump until you wean. She wants you to have lots of extra calories on hand (or, on thigh) so you can lactate through a long, hard winter when the food supply is low (she made up these rules before there was a 7-11 on every corner).
You can try to lose weight, but between your strong hunger pangs and the added stress of having a new baby, why bother? I suggest you wait until your life settles down, and ideally after you wean, before you get serious about dieting. Life with a new baby is hard enough, and a few trips to that 7-11 for a tasty treat now and again really does make things easier. Be patient and soon you can show off that firm uterus, and your thinner frame once again.

Sam Robson maintains flying start
Edgbaston (second day of four): Middlesex have scored 428 for five wickets against Warwickshire
For Sam Robson, another opportunity, albeit on another rain-affected day, to extend his average for the season beyond three figures and, in so doing, reach the highest score of his career. Given that hitherto this was 204 against Oxford UCCE in 2010, it can be gauged that this achievement, against the county champions, was rather more admirable.
There is a relentlessness about Robson's batting, founded on concentration, ambition, no doubt, and resolve. He knows his game and, probably, his limitations. He is not always a pretty batsman. The shot which took him to his new best score, a mown six off Jeetan Patel, was born of the one day game. It was followed by a jabbed four through mid off, of which much the same…

Wheels & Deals: NASCAR Teams See Tough Times In Landing Sponsors
Published October 24, 2008
ESPN's Marty Smith notes a Sprint Cup primary sponsorship 10 years ago "was about $10(M), and you could get an entire season," whereas teams now are asking for $26M from sponsors. Smith: "It's hard for teams to go out and get that kind of money. Right now ... about 25 cars are fully sponsored for 2009. There's 43 in every field, so there's going to be a lot of teams out there scrapping and clawing trying to find money. Never before in this sport have so many owners been discussing collaborations, allegiances and alliances, and even mergers, just to keep their teams afloat" ("ESPN First Take," ESPN2, 10/24). Meanwhile, NASCAR Chair & CEO Brian France Thursday said that NASCAR "will not decrease the size of the starting field next season" for Sprint Cup Series races. When asked about speculation that NASCAR might reduce the field from 43 cars to 36 "because of difficult economic conditions," France said, "That's not at all in the plan" (ESPN.com, 10/23).
CASE IN POINT: Chip Ganassi Racing President Steve Lauletta said the team is "100% prepared" to go into the '09 NASCAR season as a two-car Sprint Cup operation and with one Nationwide Series entry. However, Lauletta added, "If there's a way for us to look at a collaboration with another team and make ourselves stronger, we're certainly going to pursue that dialogue." He said no deal is close, and the team is "working really hard to make ourselves more viable from a sponsorship perspective." Lauletta: "If that means being able to share resources and do things a little bit differently, we'd certainly be open to it" ("NASCAR Now," ESPN2, 10/23).

Can your emotional and psychological state of being manifest itself, and can you force it unto others if you're not careful? A schoolteacher (Pertti Sveholm) is fired from his job. As a result, he spends his time fighting at home with his teenage son Niko (Jasper Pääkkönen). Niko escapes, shacking up with his best friend Tuomas (Mikko Leppilampi) and Tuomas' girlfriend Elina (Pamela Tola), where he forges a $500 bill and uses it at a pawnshop. The pawnshop owner forks it over to a low-rent half-crook salesman named Isto (Mikko Kouki), and so on, and so forth, creating a web of "bad vibes" that are connected by a chain of devastating events.
The Film
As you can see above, there is not much of a plot, as such, with each one of these moments creating a small character vignette. The screenplay, by Paavo Westerberg, Jari Rantala, and Aku Louhimies (who also directed) hops between them at its own leisure, eventually doubling back on itself. Niko is one of the first characters we meet, but the movie saves Niko's story until the end, sandwiching it between two sections concerning Tuomas and his girlfriend. The film is broken up into semi-arty "chapter" titles, such as "Unemployment", "Booze", and "Police". At the very least, the film spends the right amount of time with each of its sections and characters, and even in the few cases where you don't follow a character all the way to the end of their journey, there isn't a palpable sense that the movie is giving them the short end of the stick.
Part of it is how well the actors pace themselves, giving what they have to give in the time they have to give it. There are a lot of stand-outs in Frozen Land's ensemble. Matleena Kuusniemi plays a young, nervous cop who stumbles onto what may or may not be her first major crime scene, and both she and Louhimies paint a vivid portrait of her reaction. I also liked Pamela Tola as Elina, who manages to walk the line between warmth and darkness that the movie doesn't, and Mikko Leppilampi as her boyfriend. Tuomas is about to perform a minor break-in of some sort, and the couple finds low-key emotional states that didn't immediately remind me of every set of lovers taking a dangerous risk. Louhimies also manages to get lots done on what looks like a limited budget, creating an atmospheric setting that matches the tone (however overwhelming) that he wants the film to have.
Frozen Land's weakness, however, is that it doesn't know when or how to let up. It's true that the world is a cruel and unforgiving place, and there have definitely been films that achieved greatness by focusing on the darker aspects of human nature. However, to successfully do that takes an assured hand and a knowledge of the audience's limits, and Louhimies would do better to punctuate the movie with constant beats of tragedy than keeping the whole piece at a steady level of moodiness and despair. After a fairly spirited opening, the movie quickly becomes an unbreaking wave of chaotic, destructive characters, and there's rarely anywhere for the audience to turn for for just a few brief minutes of relative relief.
In the final pivotal moment of Frozen Land, despite almost certain indication otherwise, I internally begged the movie for a glimpse of something better, and for all intents and purposes, that outcome is seemingly set up: if a negative gesture can bring everything to the ground, isn't a positive gesture the key to rebuilding? I guess Louhimies disagrees, because the resulting events and the final lines of dialogue stay the course, and almost go so far as to mock the idea of hope. Frozen Land is a well-made motion picture, and it has many merits I can recommend, but for my tastes, it's overly cynical, and I'm not sure what Louhimies wants the viewer to gain from watching it.
The DVD
The Video, and Audio
A Finnish Dolby Digital 2.0 is basically muddy, without much separation between foreground and background, dialogue and sound effects. The finishing touch are the English subtitles, which are, of course, burned-in. Distractingly, there are constant gaps where the subtitles don't translate all of the dialogue. I get the impression that the skipped lines are all about the wording of what's being said -- the gist of what's being said is always there -- but, well, that's just not good enough. The subtitles ought to be an as-accurate-as-possible translation of what's being said, and these ones, despite allowing the viewer to follow the movie, are not up to snuff.

Path to Restoring America Kindle eBook
We cannot give up on Liberty. There is too much at stake. There are no shortcuts. We must put LIBERTY FIRST and walk the long and arduous path to restore America!
This is available for free to members of "Kindle Unlimited"
America's Very Survival is at Stake
I have been traveling the country teaching people the true history of the founding of our nation. I do this because I believe two things: One that God has placed a call on my life and two, those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat its mistakes.
On several occasions I have been able to teach rooms full of high school and middle school students. At the end of the presentation, I am always encouraged by the fact that they really get it. They really understand what 99% of our politicians don't, that our nation was built with the purpose of securing the blessings of Liberty for our posterity, for ages and for millions yet unborn.
By the end of the presentation my heart is so uplifted by their enthusiasm and patriotism I could storm the doors of tyranny all by myself with a butter knife. But, I also shudder when I think of what we have done to them, what we have given away on their behalf.

The toughest segment manufacturers can waltz into right now is probably the "compact luxury crossover" class — in English, these are small SUVs built on a car chassis. Think of the paradoxical demands they must meet: luxurious but sporting, capable off-road but pleasant on the highway. They must get decent gas mileage but tow trailers, and they should be able to carry tons of stuff, but still be small. Yet with handsome looks, a slick interior and sedan-like handling, the Audi Q5 may be the best balance yet.
Model Lineup
The Q5 is entering into a fairly well-defined segment, and thus comes equipped with the expected host of standard features, such as dual zone A/C, leather seating and a 10-speaker stereo. As you might expect, it's easy to tack on the dollars after that.
The quickest way to do so is to choose two optional trim packages. The first gets you a power tailgate, bi-xenon headlights and LED taillights, while the second package includes Audi's smart key system, blind spot detection, and a 14-speaker, 504-watt Bang & Olufsen stereo. This second package also includes 19-inch wheels, but 20-inch S-Line wheels, as well as (brace yourself) 20-inch chromed wheels will also be available as stand-alone options.
Other notable options include the largest panoramic sunroof in the class, adaptive cruise control, ventilated front seats and a climate-controlled cupholder. Also available is Audi's new Drive Select, which alters suspension stiffness, steering and throttle response, and shift algorithms with the push of a button. There are three settings: comfort, dynamic and auto. If you opt for Audi's MMI (multi-media interface), there's the option to create your own setting by fine-tuning each aspect on screen.
Under the Hood
Here in the U.S., the Q5 is available with one engine: the 3.2-liter V6 that will power the all-new A4. The 270-horsepower V6 never leaves the Q5 short on power, but in comparison to Audi's European-spec engines, it quickly looks like the runt of a prize litter. Continentals get the choice of two diesel engines, as well as a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline offering that feels just as strong as the V6. What's more, at an estimated 17/24 mpg (city/hwy), our V6 isn't exactly thrifty compared to the Euro options.
There's good reason to hold your breath, however, since Audi says America will get a second engine offering in 2010 models. If you want our guess, it'll be the rocket ship 3.0-liter twin-turbo diesel V6, which by then will be available in U.S.-bound Q7s. Expect the diesel's EPA fuel ratings to be somewhere in the mid-20s around town and over 30 on the highway.
U.S.-spec Q5s will arrive with a sole transmission option (6-speed automatic), which is teamed with Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive setup. The combination is said to propel the Q5 to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds, and S-Line models will have steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Inner Space
It's easy to see the common interior design language across the current Audi lineup. The Q5 benefits here, as no part of the spacious interior says "SUV." Stereo controls and the MMI jog wheel sit alongside the shifter on the center console, allowing an uncluttered dash, with little more than a 7-inch LCD screen. Once you're used to finding the controls on the console, you'll wonder why all cars aren't laid out this way. Behind the shifter is an armrest that can be extended and adjusted for height.
Q5s will only be available with leather seating. The front buckets hold the driver comfortably in place during spirited driving, and the rear seats can be laid flat right from the cargo area, providing just over 55 cubic-feet of storage capacity.
Audi's MMI is much improved in the Q5, and we'd suggest ticking the option box. Gone are full-screen windows noting simple adjustments, replaced by a much more intuitive interface that uses momentary pop-ups. Similar to the navigation display in the Infiniti EX35, 3D buildings are now displayed where available.
On the Road
This isn't the first time a manufacturer has claimed its SUV drives like a car, but the Q5 might be the first that actually does. Particularly when equipped with the active steering option, inputs are immediately translated into movement, and a stiff chassis derived from the A4 makes cornering entertaining.
Push too hard and Audi's stability control system (ESP) intervenes seamlessly, helping to aim the Q5 in the right direction. On active steering-equipped models, the ESP setup will actually make perceptible steering adjustments to help avoid disaster.
The capable V6 is a good match for the impressive handling, but, because most of its punch comes at higher rpm, a couple toggles of the paddle shifter are often necessary for quick passing. At the end of the day it's satisfying, but you can't help but lust after the torquey European diesel offerings.
At the same time, the Q5 has 7.87 inches of ground clearance, 25-degree approach and departure angles, and can tow 4,409 pounds. The ABS system can even automatically detect if you're driving on sand, gravel or stone and adjust accordingly. It's almost sad that the closest thing to off-roading most Q5s will see in America is a scenic overlook.
Right for You?
If you've already decided that you need one vehicle to do it all, the only reason not to consider the Q5 is because you're holding out for the new engine option in 2010. The Q5 drives like an A4, has the best fit and finish in its class, and is the best looking of the bunch. Pricing has yet to be announced, but you can expect the Q5 to be a couple thousand cheaper than BMW's X3.

These are the experiences from which I will "drink" for a long time; which have and continue to form me as a person and as a counselor."

The Master of Science in Counseling program prepares students for the counseling profession, which involves the application of the developmental and social sciences in assisting children and adults with psychological growth and social adjustment problems. Counselors work in schools, community agencies, churches, hospitals, and private practice.
The counseling program provides the elements necessary for certification, licensure, and actual counseling practice. Students acquire knowledge in the disciplines that underlie counseling–including education, psychology, human development, sociology, learning, and social change. They develop the basic skills in therapy and assessment and become familiar with the legal and clinical considerations confronting practitioners. Repeated practice and role playing with feedback and strategic modification are critical to mastery of the skills and are, consequently, an essential part of the program. Successful graduates are able to pursue State Licensure as Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC), or School Counselors. The opportunity to be licensed as a Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) in the state of Texas can be incorporated in the LPC track as well.
The Master of Science in Counseling degree requires the completion of 60 credit hours, written and oral comprehensive exams, an internship. Classes are delivered over 10-week terms.

Be cautious about suggesting that any cats rounded-up from outdoors be used for adoption or you could be held criminally responsible for destroying the lives and finances of families and their pets. There's no way to know a wild-harvested cats' vaccination history, if any, nor their exposure to all the deadly diseases cats carry. If a cat has contracted rabies then a vaccination against it later will do no good. It's already too late. There's also no reliable known test for rabies while keeping the animal alive. They really need to be destroyed after they are trapped. It's the only sane and sensible solution. This is precisely why all wild-harvested animals in the world, of any type intended for the pet-industry, must undergo an extended quarantine period of up to 6 months before transfer or sale of those animals to prevent just these things. Cats are no different than any other animal when harvested from the wild. You're just risking this following story happening in every shelter across the land.
Link removed.
Adopting any cat that's been taken from outdoors is just playing Russian Roulette.
Stray-cats, the very source of all feral-cats, need to be euthanized too or you'll never be rid of the feral-cat problem.
I found some surprising things about all the diseases these invasive-species vermin are now spreading throughout the USA.
These are just the diseases they've been spreading to humans, not counting the ones they spread to all wildlife. THERE ARE NO VACCINES against many of these, and are in-fact listed as bio-terrorism agents. They include: Campylobacter Infection, Cat Scratch Disease, Coxiella burnetti Infection (Q fever), Cryptosporidium Infection, Dipylidium Infection (tapeworm), Hookworm Infection, Leptospira Infection, Giardia, Plague, Rabies, Ringworm, Salmonella Infection, Toxocara Infection, Toxoplasma. [Centers for Disease Control, July 2010] Sarcosporidiosis, Flea-borne Typhus, and Tularemia can now also be added to that list.

Super star singer Justin Bieber fainted during a performance in London. Despite feeling ill, Bieber continued his show.
The 19-year-old singer was performing at London's London's O2 Arena Thursday. He was performing on the stage and knelt down as if to catch his breath. He then went backstage and fainted. Despite going to a hospital then and there, he regained his composure and continued the show.
Called a "true pro" my many, Bieber danced his way into the hearts of many while earning tremendous respect.
The fainting incident caps a full week of "non Bieber blissful moments". The singer apologized for showing up late at an earlier London concert. Bieber recently celebrated his birthday in London.

Samsung Q310 13.3in laptop
Power and portability at a presentable price
The Q310 runs off Intel's P8400 Core 2 Duo – a 2.27GHz processor that features a 3MB of L2 cache and a 1067MHz frontside bus speed. A pair of 800MHz 2GB DDR 2 modules provide 4GB of Ram, but the 32-bit Vista Home Premium installed only recognises 3GB of this.
PCMark 05 Results
Longer bars are better
Pushing images to the display is an Nvidia Geforce Go 9200M GS chip. This is a step up from integrated graphics, but certainly not something to go wild over. It pegs the Q310's Windows Experience score back to 4.4, and in the PCMark05 graphics test it chugged along to achieve a score of 3584. The overall PCMark05 score, however, wasn't too shabby at 5436, which is thanks in no small part to the P8400 processor.
3DMark 06 Results
Longer bars are better
As expected, 3DMark06 was something of a struggle, and at its native resolution of 1280 x 800, the Q310 managed a score of just 2089. A drop in resolution to 1024 x 768 helped a little, stretching the score to 2366.

Actually, no, Obama isn't being forced to acknowledge fiscal reality.
Obama's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has decided to delay the congressionally required economic review of his February budget projections until the middle of August, which is after Congress leaves town for its summer recess and after Obama's declared deadline for passage of a healthcare measure. Republicans have suggested that the delay is related to the likelihood that the updated numbers would show a deficit greater than the $1.84 trillion figure the administration acknowledged in May. Obama listed economic assumptions that were rosier than any other public forecast in his February budget. Bloomberg.com noted that "The White House also said the jobless rate would average 8.1 percent this year, though it climbed to 9.5 percent last month."
Republicans lost no time pouncing upon Obama's lack of openness on budget figures. "Let's be honest about what this is: an attempt to hide a record-breaking deficit as Democratic leaders break arms to rush through a government takeover of health care," House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio told Reuters on July 20. "By burying this budget update until after Congress leaves town next month, the administration is not willing to own up to the consequences of this dangerous fiscal agenda."
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded at a July 20 press conference observing that this delay in the mid-session review was typical during the first year of a presidential administration:
Look, as happens in virtually every transition year in government, mid-year reviews tend to get pushed back because of the transition of moving people in and out of their former and current jobs. For instance, the mid-session review under the most previous administration took place on August 22. President Clinton's first year in office, the review was released on September the 1st. So I think the notion that this is somehow motivated by anything other than a transition from one administration to the next is a little on the silly side.
It's interesting to note that Gibbs had the two dates of previous administrations' first mid-session budget review releases memorized — for the first time he had been asked about the issue at a press conference. OMB Communications Director Kenneth Baer made an almost identical point the same day, which is an indication that the talking-points memos on the issue had gone out through the White House.
Meanwhile, Gibbs is preparing the press and the public for a budgetary shocker: "I think it's — we've seen the economy, based on everybody's assumptions at the beginning of the year, deteriorate — particularly that last quarter of last year and the first quarter of this year — deteriorate at a rate that I think alarmed a number of people," Gibbs said at a press conference on July 21. "I think it's likely that our budget challenges have become greater, not lesser."
Taxpayers are indeed getting some bad news on the deficit front, if the June Monthly Budget Review of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is to be believed. The report found: "Receipts in the first three quarters of this fiscal year were 18 percent lower than in the same period last year. Receipts from corporate income taxes have declined sharply, falling by $133 billion (or 56 percent).… Declining receipts from individual income and payroll taxes account for almost 60 percent of the overall decrease in receipts. Those collections are down by almost $200 billion." Meanwhile, federal spending increased by more than 20 percent over 2008, including a more than 155 percent increase in unemployment benefit payments. Though tax collections have decreased by 18 percent this year so far, the Obama budget only planned on a 14 percent decrease.
With the CBO bringing the budgetary bad news about Obama's budget as well as his healthcare plan (the CBO says the plan would increase Americans' healthcare costs, rather than cut costs by $2,500 per family as he had pledged on the campaign trail), it's not surprising that Obama would call CBO Director Douglas W. Elmendorf for a visit to the White House. Politico.com and other on-line blogs have described Elmendorf's reporting as offering a series of death-blows to Obama's healthcare agenda. Though Elmendorf said on his blog that the unusual visit to the White House would not jeopardize his neutrality, Republican leaders viewed the visit as a naked attempt at pressuring the nonpartisan congressional budget agency. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky claimed at a press conference: "It strikes me as somewhat akin to the owner of the team asking the umpires to come up to the owner's box. I mean, if the CBO is to have credibility, they're the umpire. They're not players in this game."
The real issue before the American public is openness, however. Healthcare is an expensive process, even if Obama can reconcile his contradictory promises of cutting the average American's healthcare bill by $2,500 per family and adding 47 million uninsured to the government healthcare rolls. Updated budgetary information is essential to a balanced debate on the subject, and Obama disappoints those interested in fairness by suppressing the data until after healthcare is decided.
Hiding relevant data from Congress and the public is part of a pattern in Washington. Recently, Florida Democrat Alan Grayson asked Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke about who got the $500 billion that the Fed had lent to foreign central banks. Bernanke replied that he didn't know where it went. Grayson was apoplectic that Bernanke hadn't tracked half a trillion dollars his bank had lent out, as he indeed should have been.
If Obama were truly interested in the openness and transparency he had campaigned for when running for president, then he would now be openly calling for Rep. Ron Paul's "Audit the Fed bill (H.R. 1207/ S. 604). Instead, what Americans are getting from the Obama administration is more secrecy rather than the promised openness.
As the Las Vegas Review-Journal recently editorialized on a variety of openness subjects: "If he's so proud of what he's doing, why the secrecy?"

How Soon Now offers a look into the aesthetic sensibilities of the Rubell family. The newest exhibition at the Rubell Family Collection offers more of what we have come to expect from the familial collecting giants: cutting-edge contemporary art, young artists, a little shock, and a speculative look into the future art world stars.
Yet for all its daring, the Collection's most surprising move might be Time Capsule, the 20th anniversary installation of Jason Rubell's senior curatorial project first exhibited at the Duke University Museum of Art in 1991. (Full disclosure: Jason Rubell, T'91, is a member of the Nasher Museum's national Board of Advisors.)
The exhibition, which Jason curated with the advising of Kristine Stiles (Full disclosure: Kristine is my exceptional professor who has provided guidance for me much in the same way I imagine she did for Jason), boasts an array of (1980s) superstars: Francesco Clemente, Eric Fischl, Michael Jenkins, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, and Jessica Stockholder, to name only a handful of the 53 artists and their 95 works on view. The collection began with a bar mitzvah gift from Keith Haring, who designed the then-13-year-old Jason's bar mitzvah invitation, and flowered after he made his first purchase of George Condo's Immigrants (1983). From there his personal collection flourished and experiences associated with the touring exhibition and its catalogue became an important exercise in opening the collection to the public in 1994.
As someone currently in the same place Jason was 20 years ago, I have the pleasure of imagining a Duke without the Nasher Museum, my professor 20 years younger, these works of art in what is now the space where I take literature and cultural anthropology courses. I see the seedlings of curatorial studies and a Duke I would never know.
The exhibition is indeed noteworthy for its quality of work, but as Jason advises in the new catalogue's opening essay we should view these works as a portrait. And this portrait of the star collector as a young collector offers a glimpse into what enabled How Soon Now. Time Capsule is a look into the past from a radically different future. We see not just how Bruce Nauman and Cady Noland might have enabled Ryan Trecartin and Marianne Vitale, but how the tastes of a collector developed, how the Rubell Family Collection came to be. This is not just about artistic production, but the development of an aesthetic sensibility.
More importantly, it reveals a youthful foray into collecting: a young collector now matured who was willing (if unknowingly) to complicate the collector-institution relationship, unafraid of exhibiting his taste in an environment where contemporary art stopped in the Warhol '60s.
Time Capsule is more than an exhibition or nostalgic exercise. It transcends its work, considered individually or in Gestalt, and asks what the Rubell Family Collection is, what it does, and how it arrived where it is today. Past, present and future collide and blur, exploding in an archive defined by and transcending time. Twenty years after the end of his undergraduate career, Time Capsule exposes us to a fledgling collector still figuring things out as a mature collector, an established collection still articulating its voice and both collection and collector letting us know how they ever found their feet.

Two injured in motorcycle crash
Two Lehigh County residents were injured and flown to a Lehigh Valley area hospital following a motorcycle crash in Schuylkill County. State police at Frackville said the accident occurred about 4:10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15, along Tuscarora Mountain Drive, in Ryan Township.
Troopers said Robert M. Boudwin, 58, of Allentown, was operating a 2000 Harley-Davidson Heritage northbound and negotiating a left curve. Troopers said Boudwin leaned the bike over to the side and struck a foot peg on the road causing the bike to abruptly turn upright sending it off the road and onto the berm.
The bike then overturned ejecting passenger Deborra M. Boudwin, 57, same address, into the southbound lane. The bike came to rest on its left side just off the east berm.
tTe Boudwin's were flown by Medevac helicopter to the Lehigh Valley Hospital, Salisbury Township, troopers said. Both were wearing helmets, troopers noted.
Assisting at the scene were volunteers from the Ryan Township ambulance corps, Rush Township police, Delano and Mahanoy City fire companies.

A big heist is pulled in New York City, and at least one man ends up dead. The money and the crooks disappear. A year later, a marked bill from the robbery shows up in Los Angeles. Police detective Cal Bruner (Steve Cochran, Il grido, Quantrill's Raiders) finds it on a junkie robbing a drugstore. Cal and his partner, Jack Farnham (Howard Duff, While the City Sleeps), are put on the trail to find who passed the bill. A bartender used it at the drugstore, and he got it off the bar's singer and hatcheck girl. She got it from a customer who liked hearing "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." He said he could afford it because he had a good day at the horse races, so the cops take the street-wise lady down to the track to look for the culprit. She's the only witness who knows what the killer looks like.
The lady is Lilli Marlowe, and she's played by Ida Lupino, who wasn't just an actress in movies like Road House and On Dangerous Ground, but was also one of the first women directors in American cinema. Perhaps her best-known effort behind the camera is the classic noir thriller The Hitch-hiker, which she wrote with her one-time husband Collier Young. The pair were divorced by the time they also co-wrote this 1954 picture (and Lupino had married co-star Duff), but that didn't prevent them from crafting a tight little crime story about the temptations that turn dirty cops into good ones.
By the time Lilli spots her man, Cal has fallen in love with her. He's also gotten a pretty good idea of what kind of taste she has--the expensive kind. So, when they find nearly $300,000 on the crook, he stuffs a good portion of that into his pockets, forcing the more straight-laced Jack to go along with him. Cal wants to buy Lilli diamonds, and he leverages Jack's house and family to push his partner over the edge. The rest of the movie becomes a waiting game: will they turn on one another before they get found out?
Private Hell 36 wasn't directed by Ida Lupino; rather, the film was helmed by Don Siegel (Dirty Harry, The Shootist). His efforts here are workmanlike, lacking in any real impact or anything to distinguish it from other B-movies. Which isn't to say it's bad work, the job gets done. Siegel makes good use of a tight budget. He and cinematographer Burnett Guffey (Mr. Sardonicus, The Learning Tree) weave real locations in with their sets, grabbing impressive wide shots at the racetrack and staging a fairly hairy car chase through the suburbs (though, both cars rarely appear in the same shot together). The action is clear and concise, but lacks tension.
What distinguishes Private Hell 36--the title refers to where the guys hide the money; the film has also inexplicably been called Baby Face Killers--is Lupino's character. She writes Lilli not as a femme fatale looking to screw over whoever gets in her way, but as an independent-minded woman trying to avoid being tied to any other person, especially any man. She's been done wrong in the past and is over trusting anyone to take care of her. It's a message that likely had real meaning for Lupino personally, as an actress who broke from the studios to forge her own way. Her real-life connection to the part makes her particularly exceptional as Lilli. Her performance is smart and sexy, and always on her terms, no one else's. Duff and Cochran are fine as the cops, but Private Hell 36 definitely loses a little of its luster every time the camera pans away from its female lead.

Jon Bowers, 61; Created 9:30 Club
Friday, November 3, 2006
Jon Bowers, 61, an attorney and real estate developer with an abiding affection for the arts, died Oct. 6 of transitional cell carcinoma at his home in the District.
In 1979, Mr. Bowers purchased the eight-story Atlantic Building at 930 F Street NW, bought out the lease of a failing punk club on the first floor called Atlantis and replaced it with his club, managed by his first wife, Dodie DiSanto. They called it the 9:30 Club, a play on the F Street address and the nightly opening time.
Small, hip and lively, the club soon became the District's "alternative" mecca -- alternative being punk, new wave, funk, reggae, roots rock, go-go and any other musical genre that more established club and concert bookers were reluctant to embrace.
At a time when music lovers were reluctant to venture downtown, a lingering consequence of the 1968 riots, Mr. Bowers and his 9:30 Club were in the forefront as low rents and cheap real estate gradually attracted new galleries, restaurants and clubs, and people began coming back.
As The Washington Post noted in 1995, "thousands of bands have passed through the 9:30's back door, many of them impressed that their equipment was loaded in from the same alley John Wilkes Booth escaped through after assassinating Abraham Lincoln at nearby Ford's Theatre."
Many of the bands -- R.E.M. and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, for example -- went on to bigger and better venues, but the 9:30 dared to book them early. DiSanto told the City Paper in 1995 that the 9:30 Club survived because of "the incredible benevolence of Jon Bowers, who financed the whole thing."
"Without Jon Bowers, there would not have been a 9:30 Club," said Seth Hurwitz, who bought the club in 1986. "He was a true patron of the arts."
Mr. Bowers also wooed artists, photographers, architects and nonprofit organizations to the Atlantic Building. Tenants included Goldleaf Studios, the Blade, the D.C. Historic Preservation League and a number of photographers and artists.
Another client was District Curators, a nonprofit arts and entertainment organization founded in 1980 to promote vanguard jazz, new music and performance art. District Curators -- with Mr. Bowers as hands-on chairman, financial benefactor and tireless fundraiser -- brought to Washington such avant-garde artists as Philip Glass, controversial composer of minimalist operas, film and dance scores; Laurie Anderson, the violin-playing performance artist; and Sankai Juku, the Japanese butoh group that hangs from wires and tall buildings.
"I think there's a younger generation, the generation I'm a part of, that's grown up and is somewhat more open" to more experimental artists, Mr. Bowers told The Post in 1988.
Jonathan Stickney Bowers was born in Harrisburg, Pa., and grew up in Birmingham, Mich. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1967 and received a law degree from George Washington University in 1971.
That year, he opened a law firm with his friend Herman Bluestein before returning to Michigan in 1975 to negotiate the sale of family interests on the death of his father. When he returned to Washington the next year, he began investing in real estate in the Mount Pleasant, Shaw and Columbia Heights neighborhoods. In 1977, he and two partners founded the brokerage firm of Intown Properties; he served as president and managing partner. He continued investing in District properties over the years, including buildings along the 14th Street corridor.
In 1996, he took what he called the first "safe job" of his entrepreneurial career, as principal and director of recruiting at Arthur Andersen, until that company's demise in 2002. More recently, he was director of client development at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, working in the District, Virginia and New York offices.
His wife, the artist Lynn Flanagan Bowers, recalled that he traced his interest in music to his Detroit roots. "He was still listening to the newest independent music, sharing it with his children and recommending it to friends," she said.
His marriage to DiSanto ended in divorce.
Survivors include his wife of 20 years, of the District; two daughters from his second marriage, Margaret Bowers and Elizabeth Bowers, and a stepson, Thomas Flanagan, all of the District; and a brother and sister.

Airbnb is poised to completely disrupt the hotel industry, and today's rebranding of the startup makes it even more obvious.
Like Uber and TaskRabbit, Airbnb is all about using technology to make a seamless experience in the real world. You can look up a place to stay in the iPhone app, communicate with the owner, and book it without ever having to be put on hold or wait in line at a front desk.
With a redesigned interface focused on simplicity and discoverability, Airbnb is making it easier to find places to stay. But sadly all of that is being ignored because of how ridiculous that new logo looks.
Called "The Bélo," Airbnb's new logo is supposed to be a combination of the "A" in Airbnb, a geo pin, and a heart. Airbnb's CEO told Fast Company that the logo captures the "essence of belonging," but it actually translates quite differently for most people. At first glance it looks inspired by certain female anatomy.
Buzzfeed already has a "18 Things That Look Like The New Airbnb Logo" listicle, and apparently another company called Automation Anywhere already has a very similar logo that Airbnb ripped off.
Regardless of what you think the logo looks like, the plan is for it to start showing up on the windows and doors of establishments listed on Airbnb around the world. Until now, Airbnb hasn't really had a physical brand presence beyond its app. In the same way that ride-sharing service Lyft has its pink mustaches for cars, Airbnb's whatever-you-wanna-call-it logo should start marking its territory at the places you visit.
A gimmicky aspect of the new logo is that Airbnb is letting anyone customize it to make their own version for a window sticker or keychain. So the next time an owner hands you the keys for where you're staying, it might have a colorful version of the new vaginal/butt emblem attached.
Beyond the logo, Airbnb's web and mobile apps have been redesigned to "reflect the people who make up this community." Everything is cleaner with big images and large fonts. The iPhone app's new "Discover" section shows places to rent based on cities and themes. You can learn more about a place's owner with a full-page layout and short bio.
After playing with the new app, I was impressed with how pleasant it was to navigate and look through listings. It looks like my next trip might be planned with the help of Airbnb—new logo and all.

Joris Minne: The Boat House
Chef Joery Castel continues to push The Boat out when it comes to fine dining, but would two fellow gastronomes agree with my verdict?
Today's review is a combined effort because a few months ago Nick Acheson from the Sony Centre in Belfast won my job as restaurant critic.
To my alarm, the Belfast Telegraph had donated the job to NI Hospice as a prize at a gala dinner. Along came Nick with the winning ticket and I was looking for a new career. Almost. Because Nick and I then agreed to co-write the review which this week is of the Boat House in Bangor, a place he had never visited.
A confirmed gastronome, Nick's views turned out to be based on experience and fine knowledge. He brought with him his pal Glenn Waddell. It's quiet this Thursday night but not empty and while the unusual circumstances of this review mean we've been expected by chef Joery Castel, we notice that the other diners receive the same degree of attention. It's not fawning; more like he is offering punctuations of information and hospitality.
Nick and Glenn kick off their seven-course tasting menu (I'm taking the minutes and have a starter and main) with scallops which come as part of an intricate composition including apple jelly and a large, clear, thin and crisp apple roundel. They are impressed. The small scallops' briney flavour and soft sponginess are intense and the sweet and slightly sour apple heightens the flavours, says Nick. "It's well balanced and a great starter, but it sets the bar very high for the next dish," he adds.
But the next dish maintains the standard — a golden coloured mussel veloute in a whiskey glass featuring pickled mussels and edible sand made from puffed wild rice. It's entertaining and rich and nodding towards some of the culinary trickery performed by Alain Ducasse and Heston Blumenthal.
Both Nick and Glenn are getting into gear now and are savouring every mouthful trying to identify flavours, debating among themselves and with me whether or not the wild rice works even if it's there as a third texture. It's not confusion — it's just that it's been so long since either one of them have enjoyed something this fine that it takes time to recalibrate the critical faculties to the job in hand.
The little pattie of braised filet of beef with red peppercorns and sourdough crumbs is topped with a generous mound
of pickled girolles. Now they're getting really critical. Nick says the thing about braising steak is that it hardly matters what the quality of the meat is in the first place but it's the pickled girolles which are causing the problem. They're too powerful for the gentle warmth of the steak. Glenn says the vinegar numbs the tongue so if you eat them first, it casts anything that comes afterwards into a shadow.
A filet of brill with saffron potato, potato sauce, hollandaise, citrus gel and frozen grapes sounds like Joery has rifled the fridge and thrown everything at the plate. But it all combines beautifully, creating a scale of flavours and textures which sit easily with each other.
The moment we've been waiting for — roast goose breast with Jerusalem artichoke cream, croquettes, red cabbage and liquorice jus is outstanding. The meat of the goose is like a very intense duck, slightly gamey, dark, tender and deep flavoured. It's an absolute winner and the artichoke cream creates instant addiction.
Nick is now texting his wife declaring that he's found somewhere as good as Shanks. I can't repeat what she sent back.
As the cheese course is on its way I think Joery can relax now. Yet what he has done with the cheese is so good he's going to repeat it at this year's annual Restaurants Association of Ireland gala dinner as guest chef. Crozier blue cheese, carrot and hempseed crisp, macaroon, white chocolate sauce, clue cheese cream, hemp oil powder and crushed hazelnut provide excitement at a moment when you least expect it. The Crozier blue is wonderful and the hemp oil powder which vanishes in the mouth leaving a hint of grassiness on the tongue are truly memorable.
Less memorable perhaps is the treacle tart. "I'm not convinced by this," says Nick. "It's either undercooked or not right with the salt caramel mousse and mango puree." I taste it and agree although we all conclude that we are now in hypercritical mode because Joery is that good.
And that's the thing. Joery Castel just gets better and better. It may not be everyone's preference to eat this finely but once in a while it is good to see what the top end of the sector is doing.

OverviewOne of the most direct routes to Dixie Peak is via the "Fire Road" originating from the "School Bus Turnaround" down the road from the Mount Si trailhead/parking lot. The "Fire Road", known as the Mount Teneriffe Road-Trail, is also the most direct route for which to reach nearby Mount Teneriffe. The "Fire Road" offers a gradual incline but lacks significant viewpoints until near the summit of Dixie Peak.
Route Description
The route begins at the "School Bus Turnaround" (920' elevation) down the road from the Mount Si Parking Lot. Hike along the Mount Teneriffe Road-Trail for approximately six miles, until a saddle ridge (4150' elevation, LATITUDE: 47.5139, LONGITUDE: -121.7075). From the saddle ridge, leave the road-trail and begin heading west along the steep forested ridgeline to an unnamed highpoint (~4450' elevation). NOTE: The road-trail continues east to Mount Teneriffe.
Ascend the ridgeline for approximately 1/2-mile to an unnamed forested highpoint located south of Dixie Peak. From that unnamed highpoint, the ridge turns north towards Dixie Peak. Follow the ridge down and then up for approximately 1/2-mile to the true summit of Dixie Peak (4606' elevation). Use caution when traversing the Dixie Peak ridgeline; steep slopes and high winds are common in this area. While approaching the true summit, try to looking for Crater Lake down the gully to the west.
The views from the true summit are wonderful and very underrated. From the true summit, a hiker can continue following the ridgeline north for approximately 1/4-mile (~5-10 minutes) to the false summit of Dixie Peak. The false summit is worth visiting, due to its rocky highpoint and spectacular views that rival the views seen from the Mount Teneriffe summit.
From Dixie Peak, there are two main possibilities for returning tothe "Fire Road". From the unnamed forested highpoint south of Dixie Peak:
1) Retrace your route back to the saddle ridge to rejoin the Mount Teneriffe Road-Trail ("Fire Road"), or,
2) Cut-off approximately one mile of descent distance by directly traversing down the steep southern/southeastern slope of the highpoint through a forest, eventually rejoining the Mount Teneriffe Road-Trail ("Fire Road") at ~3950' elevation.
Then continue following the Mount Teneriffe Road-Trail for the remainder of the descent, returning to the "School Bus Turnaround" and completely the two-peak loop.
The "Fire Road" route to the summits of Dixie Peak is approximately 13-14.5 miles, roundtrip. For a slightly shorter, more technical, route involving Dixie Peak, consider the "Teneriffe-Dixie Loop" route.

A plan that rezones Carlsbad's downtown Barrio neighborhood and increases affordable housing received the City Council's unanimous approval this week.
The addendum to the housing element of the city's general plan includes no specific development, said Carlsbad Community and Economic Development Director Gary Barberio, but it will eventually allow hundreds of new houses, apartments and condominiums to be built.
The Barrio is the neighborhood west of Interstate 5 and east of the railroad tracks, north of Tamarack Avenue and south of Oak Avenue.
The plan adopted unanimously Tuesday evening by the City Council divides that area into two zones: the center, or core, which has 148 small lots occupied mostly by single family homes; and an outer ring, or the perimeter, 145 lots that generally have apartment buildings or condominiums on them. It gives the Barrio perimeter the city's highest-density zoning, up to 30 dwellings per acre.
Many of the lots in the Barrio already have exceeded the number of dwellings allowed by current zoning, Barberio said, adding that the changes will bring those lots into conformance while preserving the community that's already there.
In all the plan allows as many as 669 additional dwellings to be built in the Barrio, Barberio said. All of the additional homes would qualify as affordable housing, he said, and would help the city meet the state's requirements for affordable housing.
"It helps us greatly," Barberio said.
Residents who spoke about the plan at Tuesday's council meeting expressed mixed feelings about the changes. Several said it would allow too many homes and too much traffic.
"Today everything seems to be build more, build up," said Ofie Escobedo, whose family has owned Lola's Market in the Barrio since 1943. "The densities that are recommended scare us. It would be a shame to change the character of the area by allowing more homes to come in."
But most people said the plan was well thought out and good for the neighborhood. Some suggested better street lighting and better access across the railroad tracks to the beach.
Council members unanimously supported the plan.
"As long as we address some of those unintended consequences – the lighting, traffic, things like that – I think it's a good plan," said Councilman Keith Blackburn.
Mayor Matt Hall said he also supports it and thanked everyone for their comments.
"It might not be the perfect plan for each and every one of you," he said, but, he added, it's probably the best overall plan for everyone.

The Art of Negotiation: How to Improvise Agreement in a Chaotic World
Did you leave money on the table in your last negotiation?Chances are that you did. Between saying things we SHOULDN'T say, or not saying things we SHOULD have said, almost everyone makes mistakes in negotiating. And even little mistakes can cost you BIG dollars – and may even cost you the deal.
That's why thousands have attended programs from the legendary Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School. Now Executive Leadership has teamed up with Harvard to bring the Program on Negotiation to you in this new recording designed to help you hone your negotiating skills.
Professor Michael Wheeler developed this new session – based on his upcoming book – to help you adopt a powerful next-generation approach to negotiation. You'll discover:
Professor Wheeler charts a completely new path for the modern negotiator. More than ever, negotiating is not a task, but a process – and The Art of Negotiation shows you how to apply this approach to your advantage.
Can Robin Williams or BB King teach you how to negotiate? These masters of improvisation may provide the key for a whole new way to negotiate.

he was good at Music Hall of Wburg last year, I was skeptical going in cuz his live reviews are pretty mixed but it was a tight show
― dmr, Tuesday, 6 April 2010 17:39 (seven years ago) Permalink
Saw him in Miami and his band was really tight, as some people have indicated above, but they were also boring, and they concluded the show with the worst freak-out jam of all time. Ariel was really high, trying to compete with Ida No, who fell off stage into the bar.
Sound check was three hours and doors opened really late. You couldn't tell at all that they'd put so much work into it, and the bass hurt all the audience's ears.
I'd rather have seen him with a guitar and keyboard and sampler and CDr set up, going solo like in those early shows which have been described as terrible. Ariel's drummer carried a lot of the weight, and his voice seemed to be higher in the mix than Ariel's. Ariel looked really old and a bit like the troll under the bridge from "Three Billy Goats Gruff."
I liked the CDs, especially the pop stuff, despite the occasionally plagiarized tune, but that show put me off for years. To the present, really.
That single up above sort of reminds me of when Beck decided he was a real singer and had to sing pretty, and started putting out (even more) boring records The production and voice clash. Also, the production haze of the earlier recordings is like a trick to get around how harsh hi-fi recordings often sound. Only in theory do I like the AM smooth pop aesthetic.
What did I just do. Post stuff. Give opinions.
