What you hear in her voice is ancient and inexplicable. She channels grandmothers and griots to bring audiences to the precipice of tears as easily as she incites eruption. Erykah Badu takes stage as both installation art and high wire act. While she has not made a career of being boastful, it is very clear that the queen bee knows who she is. A combination of Abbey Lincoln, Billie Holiday, Chaka Khan, Parliament's mother ship, and a Hendrix solo, Erykah Badu is the direct byproduct of a lineage preserved and most effectively expressed through song. A sociologist with a rolodex of great producers and an equally impressive catalog of hits, Badu sings a world based very closely upon the one she inhabits, but clearly thinks and aspires to a plane none of us will reach in this life. A voice as joyful as it is pained, her sound does less to rely on the ridiculous range that carries most vocalists, leaning instead on an awesome amount of versatility, unpredictability, and depth.
As the great voices of jazz and soul music are silenced, Erykah Badu – arguably the first successful mutation of both movements — could very well be the last of a dying breed. In an interview with music superstore, Amoeba, trumpeter Christian Scott may have said it best, "I always applaud her for her conviction because she's such a great artist and really on a lot of levels I feel like she could be the last great jazz singer, which is kind of disheartening a little bit. But just her sensibilities – her ideas about music, how she approaches her music, the notes that she sings, her inflections; I think she's really a huge light for us right now. Hopefully there will be someone that'll come and grab the torch from her, but I don't really hear it yet, so she's the one right now."
Born in Dallas in 1972, Erykah Badu spent her youth studying dance and acting under the tutelage of her mother, Kolleen Wright, who had been acting and working in community theater. As a teen, Erykah Badu attended Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts before moving on to Grambling State University. Abandoning her studies before graduation, Badu left school to concentrate on music. As one-half of the duo Erykah and Free, formed with cousin Robert "Free" Bradford, Badu recorded a 19-song demon called Country Cousins. That demo made its way to Kedar Massenburg and became the catalyst for Badu's exodus from Dallas to Brooklyn after signing to Kedar Entertainment in 1995. There she was teamed with D'Angelo to record "Your Precious Love," a cover of the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell hit, written by Ashford and Simpson for the High School High Soundtrack in 1996. Given the strata that Badu and D'Angelo would later occupy as a continuation of the black musical tradition, their recording of that song seems like an unofficial but very clear case of passing the baton. Badu's unique sound eventually found her on a train to Philadelphia to begin recording a debut album with producer, James Poyser and The Roots.
From that series of events came Baduizm, a release that immediately drew comparisons between Badu and Billie Holiday once her first single began to make the rounds on major urban radio in 1997. The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts, packed with songs that almost all became singles, and sold 2 million copies within 2 months of its release – eventually tapping out at a cool 3 million. Hers was a multiplicity of voices – one that spoke to black nostalgia and awareness, enlivened jazz purists, suggested a possible rebirth for funk, and enlightened a generation of youth who heard her music for the first time and suddenly realized how thirsty they had been for something different after much of the same from r&b charts populated with artists trying to replicate the hip-hop soul of Mary J. Blige and her peers who ruled the airwaves during hip-hop's golden era.
Baduizm ushered in a new period in mainstream music, later dubbed Neo-Soul. The ensuing rise of the Soulquarian collective, spearheaded by James "J Dilla" Yancey, Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, and Questlove of The Roots, essentially cemented Badu's place amongst a handful of change agents revolutionizing the sound of black music by championing individuality, live instrumentation, sonic experimentation, and an overall interest in breaking industry rules in order to raise the bar. Badu's most important contribution to this point, in a clear continuation of the tradition established by the Native Tongues, was that she made it okay to be a major recording artist and still be yourself.
That era brought with it the Black Lily performance series and the first sightings of performers like Ledisi, Bilal, and Jill Scott, who would later share a Grammy with Badu and The Roots for "You Got Me" from 1999′s Things Fall Apart. A 2004 reunion with Jill Scott at Dave Chappelle's Block Party in Brooklyn served to break rumors of competitive animosity between the two singers, Scott who wrote the tune and Badu who sang the recording, but also served as visible evidence of Badu's legacy in action as the singers sang and embraced; Erykah Badu standing as the obvious trailblazer for the careers of Scott and other performers like her, who at the time of her emergence were very much the antithesis of what black radio had come to expect or even deign to support prior to Baduizm and the solo debut of Lauryn Hill. Badu has since managed to stuff a total of six solo albums under her belt, including (Erykah Badu) Live, Mama's Gun, Worldwide Underground, New Amerykah Part One (4th World War), and New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) – the latest albums are rumored to be two of a marathon recording session that yielded at least three, and have subsequently left fans clamoring for release dates.
Her early presence signified by a larger than life head wrap and the lingering scent of incense, Erykah Badu came to be seen as an all-knowing earth mother to whom some assigned a divine and subsequently infallible presence, likely in response to lyrical content alluding to her own quest to live a more righteous life. Reluctantly beatified in the same way that Bob Marley's fans have exalted him, Badu's assertions about herself have remained the same; she is a human being, the same as everyone else. Her writing, peppered with references to various religious philosophies including those of the Nation of Gods and Earths, may have contributed to the air of mysticism that has typified her public persona. Shedding the bolt of fabric in favor of everything from an afro wig to a top hat has at least forced most of her fan base to accept that her life is subject to change and ultimately defies categorization.
While her message and the visible indicators of her lifestyle point to the core values of faith, personal enlightenment, wellness, empowerment, and community, it is interesting that media and fan focus on Erykah Badu's career is apt to devolve into a conversation almost explicitly concerned with her decision to shirk the traditional nuclear family for a more communal alternative. One that includes famous rappers as co-parents and somehow imparts the idea that having three children over the course of three separate relationships is enough to negate, if not altogether nullify her effectiveness as an artist, parent, and human being. While blind judgment and gossip rags will never cease to exist, it remains interesting that an artist who usually lives well below the plane of scandal could somehow manage to provoke a chorus of dedicated detractors quelled only by whispers of album releases and tour dates. A phenomenon Badu may arguably have deepened, at least with respect to the puritanical American psyche, upon the release of the controversial video for 2010′s "Window Seat" – a production that saw Badu stripped naked and lying cold at the site of John F. Kennedy's assassination by the ending credits.
As agent provocateur, Badu seems less concerned with making a scene for the sake of making a scene as much as she is interested in making a scene in order to make people think. In an era characterized by willful ignorance and the media's encouragement of it, her dissent is an indicator of a larger societal shift toward uncovering truths, both personal and political. Her understanding of life is one that may be no more complex than anyone else's, but the suggestions she makes are bold because they encourage difference; something that humankind still has not quite managed to accept or celebrate with any sincerity. In continuing to work and live against the grain, she may have set the bar high enough that in moments of unsteadiness, even she may not be able to reach. The question is whether she should care one way or another. While she does not seem the type to rest on her laurels, she can at least rest assured that regardless of what the future holds for music, there will only ever be one Erykah Badu.

Month: May 2010
What I Did This Week
This week, I assisted at the historic Orthodox Episcopal Assembly of North and Central America, the first such meeting in more than two centuries of Orthodox Christian presence on this continent. To read my impressions of the event, see these two posts from the OrthodoxHistory.org website:
Internet Discourse and the Fear of Death
When I was studying Hamlet in college (which I did several times, being something of an addict for that story, despite my claims at The Tempest being my favorite of the Bard's plays; I once took a class in which we spent three weeks on "Who's there?"), if there is one thing I learned that the poor Dane learned too late, it was this: We all die. Indeed, we are all dying. The play is essentially Hamlet's attempts to come to grips with this truth, but not before his inability to deal with death deals quite a lot of death in the meantime. Funny thing, that.
As such, when I was recently dared into an online debate by a 70-year-old atheist regarding the basis for my religious belief (as if anyone believes in "religion"), it occurred to me more than once that perhaps this pastime must be something like playing golf is for many people, an amusing distraction to bide the time until admission to assisted living, hospice, and then the cold, hard dirt itself. What does a 70-year-old atheist want with trying to convince a priest that he's necessarily mentally deficient by virtue of believing in something beyond what his eyes see?
But it seems that so much Internet discourse runs along these lines, making the assumption that those involved must have all the time they could ever want. This assumption reveals itself typically with the claim by one of the conversants that, unless the other is willing to engage him and hash through all that stuff with him, he must be a coward, ignoramus, etc. If someone walks away, he is of course admitting that he is wrong. It is never believed when one says that he has been through all this before and doesn't particularly want to go through it all again. He is not, after all, immortal, and he has things he wants to do before he dies.
The Scripture actually tells us that sin itself is often the result of the fear of death. Fear of death in our own day typically manifests itself in two ways, an obsessive emphasis on the physical body by means of dedication to pleasure, healthcare, etc., and the atemporality of (the usually unspoken) assumption of immortality. That is, either we fear death by trying to extend and enlarge our physical life as much as we can, or we fear death by denying its very reality. (And often, we do both.) In the case of much Internet discussion, the latter is the typical characteristic.
I must admit to having fallen into this trap on many occasions, but I am more often constrained from doing so lately by having more things to do and (most frequently) by being tired of the expectation that I engage in the same back-and-forth with another person who was not there when I did it before. No doubt he's done it before but hasn't tired of it yet. We might be accused of a lack of evangelistic zeal when not wanting to dive yet again into this same quagmire of endless oneupsmanship, but even the Lord said that sometimes it's necessary just to move on. Some make it their mission to keep trudging down these paths, and perhaps that really is their mission.
As for me, though, I'm going to die someday—perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps sixty years from now. I've already got my funeral home picked out, though I do still have some work to do on picking a cemetery plot.
Samuel Johnson's Foot
The following is an excerpt from a much longer talk I wrote but did not deliver, as I learned the day before the event that it was desired that I deliver a very different sort of lecture. The essential thrust of the talk, written for a mixed audience of both believers and unbelievers, was to prepare them to receive the Gospel, in this case, specifically by encouraging them to look at knowledge as something that is not mainly information but participation. This talk is titled "What is Truth?"
I have an atheist friend who believes that it should be illegal for parents to expect their minor children to follow their religion. When I asked him why he believed that, he said that it was because the kinds of claims that religion makes are inherently non-falsifiable. If you've not encountered the term falsifiable before, I won't annoy you with a complex philosophical definition, but you should at least know that it refers to a truth claim that could be proven true or false by anyone.
An example of a falsifiable truth claim is that Barack Obama is currently the president of the United States. The evidence to prove or disprove that claim is fairly available to all, assuming, of course, that we are not trying to thwart the Secret Service. A non-falsifiable truth claim would be something like this: Zeus is the ruler of all the gods. We do not have the gods at hand to interview as to whether their fealty has indeed been sworn to Zeus, nor are we likely to be able to get Zeus himself to speak in front of a congressional committee, to offer testimony regarding the part he plays in Olympian politics.
Thus, falsifiable truth claims are the sort of thing that can be scientifically, objectively proven, while non-falsifiable truth claims cannot be addressed within the context of objective science.
My friend is, of course, quite sincere in his belief that children should not be subjected to participation in non-falsifiable truth claims. There are, however, a number of problems with his position that parents should be prohibited by law from teaching their religion to their children and encouraging their participation in it. Such a law would, for instance, make it illegal for Roman Catholics to have their babies baptized or for Jews to circumcise their sons on the eighth day after their birth. But even aside from the disturbing political issue of suggesting that the state is a better arbiter of parental practice than parents, there remains the question of why it is that only falsifiable truth claims should be taught to children.
Anyone who has ever tried to raise a child knows that most parenting time is not spent on falsifiable truth claims. Indeed, claims such as "It is good for you to stop hitting your brother" are not provable by scientific means. In fact, science might suggest that hitting your brother is an excellent idea, because it helps to keep you in control of his toys. This sort of thing could be said about any moral claims, and although we take many of them for granted, such as the Golden Rule, there really is no hard science which demands that we live that way. In fact, science never says that we ought to live one way or another, but childrearing is precisely about teaching how one ought to live.
The truth of our human existence is that the noblest, most powerful, compassionate, beautiful, and remarkable things in life are almost never undergirded by purely falsifiable truth claims. So why would we want to deprive children of these things, even if we were capable of totally shielding them from such experiences? Who better than loving parents to feed children not just with physical nourishment but nutrition in what is at the heart of humanity? (Of course, loving parents are an inherently non-falsifiable phenomenon!) But supposedly, this is the best way to apprehend the truth without religious or philosophical bias, so that only facts may be known.
What underlies this whole approach to knowing the truth is the notion that truth is a piece of information. If truth is, indeed, only information, then of course it can be reduced to the category of fact. Much of our culture's behavior is based on this characterization of truth, which is why studies and claims clothed in the language of science and fact are given so very much stock in public discourse, while appeals to higher, nobler kinds of truth typically find their way into the public square only in terms of sentiment. But when we mean business, when we're being really serious, then we bring out the falsifiable truth claims. That's when we want men in white coats doing something called "science," giving us something we call "facts."
One of the underlying assumptions of our modern idea about truth is that it should be objectively true, no matter what anyone's particular subjective experiences tell them are true. That's why we have peer-reviewed scientific journals, so that other scientists can check on the claims of their peers. But underneath this model of knowledge is the idea that we can know things simply by observing them. If we are somehow personally involved in the experiment—for instance, by using ourselves as test subjects—then the results are suspect.
Yet the reality of human existence is that most of us do not solely take up supposedly objective, distinterested means in order to make decisions and live life. For instance, it is unlikely that any of us conducted stress tests on the floor currently beneath us in order to make the decision that we would stand and sit upon it without fear that it will collapse under us in the event of an earthquake. And I doubt that geologists were consulted before this evening's lecture to determine by means of the scientific method whether there would be an earthquake. And I must confess that I did not ask for a copy of this building's blueprints to assure myself that the roof would not fall in, should that earthquake in fact take us entirely by surprise.
Setting aside for the moment the incredible difficulty in using the scientific method to predict earthquakes—how, for instance, does one do a controlled experiment on the North American tectonic plate?—the precariousness of our situation from a supposedly scientific point of view should give us pause. Just how do we know that this building will not suddenly send us all quickly to meet our Maker, Whose existence by definition is a non-falsifiable piece of information? We really do not know, at least not in scientific terms, and even if we were to undertake all the possible tests that could be done to try to assure ourselves that this place is safe, conditions would change so much in the meantime that our results would almost necessarily be obsolete before we could sit back and enjoy them.
The end result of all this nonsense is that attempting to live life according to purely "scientific" standards of knowledge would end up in a sort of annoying paralysis of analysis. We simply don't have the mental or computational power to figure out all the possibilities. And even if we could, how can we say we absolutely know for certain that our own senses are not fooling us when we read the data?
Now, my purpose this evening is not to engage in a lengthy discursus on epistemology, which is the branch of philosophy that examines how we know what we know, but I do think it's worth at least asking ourselves just how we really end up living life, how we make decisions, and how we live with them, especially since there's really no logistical way to put all our eggs in the "science" basket that our society claims to revere so faithfully.
What we usually think of as a "scientific" philosophy of knowledge is not really science, anyway—it is a philosophical outlook known as positivism, that all knowledge must be based only on empirical sense experience. Yet some of science's greatest advances, such as Einstein's theories of time and space, as well as most of quantum physics, are not credible by positivistic standards, instead requiring leaps of imagination and intuition which are beyond what empirical means can yield. And credible scientists hold such things to be true.
The truth is that we all end up functioning mainly on trust. We trust that this floor is solid. We trust that there will not be an earthquake in central Pennsylvania tonight. We trust that the architect and the general contractor responsible for putting this building together did their job correctly. We act on this trust, despite not having the sort of information that we probably really "should," at least according to the exacting standards of the scientific method. (So anyone whose concern for our safety has been sufficiently raised and would like to exit the building now is welcome to do so.)
Earnest Contention
This past weekend, I had two occasions on which I might have been said to go into "apologetics mode."
In the first (which was not really apologetical, strictly speaking), it was a study circle led by Roman Catholic theology and philosophy professors with their students, discussing Roman Catholic theology. I ended up speaking entirely more than I had intended, especially considering that those folks didn't go there to hear an Orthodox Christian cleric telling them about Orthodox Christian theology. But I was encouraged to attend by an Orthodox couple who regularly participate, and the leaders of the group were encouraging regarding my contributions and even invited me to return. I doubt I interested anyone in Orthodoxy by my words and/or presence, but I did at least get for myself a slightly better picture of where that theological sector of Roman Catholicism has gone. (In some ways, I am heartened that some of them seem to have moved closer to Orthodoxy, but I really do not know how the whole institution could do it in any permanent fashion. After all, once the genie of development of doctrine has been let out of the bottle, how does one put it back in? With us today, perhaps, but somewhere else tomorrow. Certainly somewhere else yesterday.)
The second occasion was a dinner invitation, which included a rather sudden assault by one of the other guests on the Orthodox tradition of the limitations on ordination, specifically, regarding gender. In that discussion, my interlocutor was approaching things from an essentially Marxist perspective, that hierarchy within the Church must be understood to mean inequality, that ordaining only men meant that women were "substandard." In that conversation, although I tried my best to explain what the Church's purpose is (i.e., to become saints, not to become clergy), I don't think I really made much headway, especially since it became clear that my conversation partner only wanted to deal with this one datum, ordination and gender, and not with the larger context of Christian life in which that datum is made meaningful.
In both cases, I was reminded that earnest contention for the faith means not only discussion (as with the study circle) or straight-out apologetics (i.e., defending against attacks, as with the dinner invitation), but at its heart means seeking the salvation of those involved, both those directly involved and those who may be listening. Sometimes, that may mean suggesting something for consideration. Or, it may mean rebuking.
I am really not, at heart, an apologist (despite what some folks may think from the O&H podcast), but I do try to be a teacher, if I can. In all cases, there is a context in which the discussion is occurring, and that context is critical. I should not (and do not) speak the same at a discussion circle whose purpose is to discuss Roman Catholic theology as I should at a class whose purpose is for me to teach Orthodox theology or to criticize non-Orthodox theology. I should not (and do not) speak the same with a person who is not interested in the core data of the Christian faith but questions it as I should with someone who is a committed parishioner who questions it, or even with someone who is not yet a parishioner who is exploring the faith.
In the end, though, our witness to our faith should be vigorous and borne up by serious prayer, both private and corporate. But we have to witness to it. We can't just roll over and say, "Well, that's just how it is" or delude ourselves into thinking that Orthodoxy is not substantially different from some other theology. There really is a coherent, distinctive Orthodox Christian way of understanding our God, our life, and our world. I think the overall weakness of our witness in this age is due mainly to our collective refusal to dive deep into our own theology, not just by study, but by serious doxological and ascetical engagement. That is, we are not particularly effective missionaries because we are not particularly effective Orthodox Christians.

Panel says NSA phone data collection illegal, advises end to program
Washington, DC, United States (4E) – A government advisory body on civil liberties has found the National Security Agency's program of collecting telephone call metadata illegal and recommended its suspension.
The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board's findings are contained in a report it released Thursday. The report cited two laws the program violates. The Patriots Act does not support the NSA's collection of records of telephone calls while the Electronic Communications Privacy Act prohibits telephone companies from giving customer records to the government except in response to a specific search warrant, according to the board's report.
The board also claimed in the report that the program failed to make a difference in any counter-terrorism investigation. This particular finding, according to Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, validates criticisms that the program has not been critical to national security so "is not worth the intrusion on Americans' privacy, and should be shut down immediately."
Based on its findings, the board recommended that the government end the program or change the period for which metadata should be retained from five years to three years.
Two Republican members of the board, however, defended the NSA program and recommended that Congress reauthorized it by June 2015, when it expires.
The board's findings contradict those of President Barack Obama's task force, which found no abuse of the program's database. On this basis, Obama saw that the program should be preserved. National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden also defended the NSA program.

This is very simple. Hence why I can do it. :)
I got these three mini pumpkins for $3. Then I had some votive candles just around the house so we will say that is FREE.
Things you need:
Cut out a perfect circle out on the top of the pumpkin.
**I saw on pinterest that people use a drill bit. I think a knife is just as easy.
Once you get the perfect circle. (not too big so the candle doesn't fall through)
I kept it very tight so its snug and no air can get inside the pumpkin.
Then clean the insides of the pumpkin clean.
Add candle and light!
I should pick up some pumpkin flavored candles. Yummmm

GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife)
GSAK allows you to add your own notes for individual waypoints in the database. This notes column displays a notes icon to indicate that you have attached a note to the waypoint description in the database.
User notes support a combination HTML and plain text. Line feeds in your user notes are automatically converted to <br> in all GSAK HTML. However, this can generate a lot of white space if your notes are purely HTML) . There are times when you want the user notes interpreted as strictly HTML and other times strictly as text. By using the directives <OnlyText> and <OnlyHTML>, you can force GSAK to implement your required behaviour. The directives are mutually exclusive, can be placed anywhere in the notes, and are removed from the final output. These directives are converted in all offline HTML that GSAK generates.
You can also set the font of user notes. If you want your text to "line up" on each line, then use a fixed width font such as "Courier" or "Courier New". GSAK also has special code in the HTML generation such that if your font name contains "Courier", then all generated HTML for that user note (or log section accordingly) will be shown in a fixed width font so that columns will "line up". You can prevent this from happening on a note by note basis by using the directive <PreStop>. For more information please see this link.
You can also add in pictures/graphics stored on your hard drive - just click on the "add picture" button.
To add or change a note, double click on the corresponding note icon cell for your required waypoint (you can also right-click anywhere on the line and choose Add/Change/Delete Note).
The screen has been split into two sections - "User notes" and "Log section". The user notes are for any personal notes or information you would like to keep. The log section enables you to enter the details of a log that will be later posted to Geocaching.com (or your web cache provider). GSAK allows semi automatic logging of the cache by clicking on the Log Cache button. For more information see the semi automatic cache logging topic.
To delete a note, open the note and click the Delete button.
To print the contents of a note, click on the Print button
To copy the contents of a note to the clipboard, click on the Copy button
LogCache Macro - This is the macro that will be invoked when you click on the "Log cache" button. GSAK ships with a default macro for this, but you can change to any macro you like.
Tip: In grid view, click on the column heading to group together all waypoints with notes.
Note: you can also set a filter on notes, to get a subset of waypoints that only have user notes in them

I love these things because they keep cat and dog food fresh. Instead of throwing away the left over food, all you have to do is put it in the container. I dont like keeping the food in the bag because if the animals find it they can get into it. With these containers, that doesnt happen.
Pros: Easy to use and keeps food fresh
Cons: none

Not to toot my own horn, but this is by far one of the best lamb burgers I've ever had. No, seriously. It's my favorite meal I've made with raisins since joining up with California Raisins as one of their raisin ambassadors.
The combinations in this burger create layers of flavor that will have you practically inhaling it. I know we did. Savory, slightly sweet, and fresh, this Raisin Lamb Burger with Mint Yogurt Sauce is the perfect combination and will most likely end up on your weekly menu a lot. Cheers!
Raisin Lamb Burgers with Mint Yogurt Sauce
Serves 4
lamb burgers
1/3 cup pine nuts
1 pound ground lamb
1 egg
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 ciabatta rolls
arugula, sliced tomatoes
mint yogurt sauce
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup cucumber, peeled and diced
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
pinch kosher salt
1. In a skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until golden. They'll toast relatively fast so don't walk away like I obviously did.
2. In a large bowl, combine the toasted pine nuts, lamb, egg, raisins, onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well.
3. Divide the mixture into four equal parts. With your hands, create four burger sized patties.
4. Place the burgers on a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Sear for 4 minutes. With a spatula, flip the burgers and cook for an additional 4 minutes for a medium to medium well cooked burger. For a medium rare burger, cook the burgers 3 minutes a side.
5. Slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Toast the buns in a toaster or under the broiler in the oven until golden.
6. For the mint sauce: combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
7. Place a lamb burger on a ciabatta bun and spoon mint yogurt sauce on top. Next, add a few arugula leaves and slices of tomato if desired. Serve and devour.
It's… Just… So… Good!
Good, I tell you!

MDI Teams with Integrator to Provide School Security
San Diego awards $5M contract for Construction Electronics Inc. to unify IP video from OnSSI into MDI platform
SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MDI, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDII), the leading provider of Unified Technology™ solutions for the security industry today announced that they have partnered with Construction Electronics, Inc. (CEI), a professional services organization that specializes in the design, engineering and management of large complex campus security and communications systems projects, to supply unified security solutions as part of a $5 million blanket contract for campus security with the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD). The team began the advanced phase of the district's security modernization project with a separate order for two individual school buildings, which was announced by MDI on April 20th of this year.
CEI is scheduled to begin implementation of the district-wide project immediately after the first MDI product order is received and delivered. The initial acquisition will consist of various servers, workstations, identity solutions and operating software as part of the MDI unified security platform, which will act as the head-end for the district's centralized command and control center. SDUSD District Security Managers will utilize the MDI platform to control all security alarms and surveillance points, throughout each target campus in the district, from a central unified location.
The District selected the team's unified solution based in part on its ability to:
Empower school security teams to analyze and respond to district-wide incidents in real-time
Leverage the district's existing investments in security point products (cameras, DVRs, biometrics, etc.) to improve security via its open architecture technology platform
Improve efficiency of security resources through centralized management of security information and reporting from schools across the district Ramp up the modernization program with minimal training expense to realize an immediate time-to-benefit from the system
Install, maintain and respond to system issues according to exact district specifications.
Provide a history of success in delivering and maintaining comprehensive safety and security programs in school district environments vs. the sale and installation of point products (stand-alone camera and DVR products, access control products and alarm monitoring systems) which are not unified and in many instances provide a false sense of security in schools.
Prove and track the effectiveness of the district security program Integrate all physical security components directly into the Learn Safeâ"¢ program if and when the decision is made by the school to adopt it as a district program.
"MDI systems have been successfully securing school districts and diversified educational environments for many years,†stated Frank Hermes, President of CEI. "Now that safety and security in schools is a top priority for administrators and educators across the country, that proven experience is more valuable than ever.†"By combining the experience of MDI with the school campus security integration knowledge of the CEI team, I am confident that San Diego will soon have a security program that can be used as a model for all schools throughout the State of California and the entire Country,†he added. Once the district's central command center is complete, CEI will begin work on modernizing school campuses within the district that have been identified as initial implementation targets under the blanket contract. The team will unify the NetDVMS™ Intelligent Network Video solution from On-Net Surveillance Systems, Inc. (OnSSI) into the MDI Platform to furnish a combined approach towards prevention, detection and response within campus environments.

WASHINGTON – What do self-defense, Barack Obama's Communist mentor, the threat of socialism and hope for America have in common?
They are all subjects people are obsessed with in this critical election year.
And they represent timely new products in the WND Superstore.
- "The Communist: Frank Marshall Davis: The Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mentor" is the latest from author Paul Kengor and published by Glenn Book's imprint with Simon & Schuster. Who was Frank Marshall Davis? By Obama's own admission, he was his "mentor." Some believe he was more than that – possibly even his real father. But that's another video documentary entirely. Here's just one juicy quote from Davis: "I admire Russia for wiping out an economic system which permitted a handful of rich to exploit and beat gold from the millions of plain people. . . . As one who believes in freedom and democracy for all, I honor the Red nation." Although other radical influences on Obama, from Jeremiah Wright to Bill Ayers, have been scrutinized, the public knows little about Davis, a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA, cited by the Associated Press as an "important influence" on Obama, one whom he "looked to" not merely for "advice on living" but as a "father" figure. While the Left has willingly dismissed Davis (with good reason), here are the indisputable, eye-opening facts: Frank Marshall Davis was a pro-Soviet, pro-Red China communist. His Communist Party USA card number, revealed in FBI files, was CP #47544. He was a prototype of the loyal Soviet patriot, so radical that the FBI placed him on the federal government's Security Index. In the early 1950s, Davis opposed U.S. attempts to slow Stalin and Mao. He favored Red Army takeovers of Central and Eastern Europe, and communist control in Korea and Vietnam. Dutifully serving the cause, he edited and wrote for communist newspapers in both Chicago and Honolulu, courting contributors who were Soviet agents. In the 1970s, amid this dangerous political theater, Frank Marshall Davis came into Barack Obama's life. Aided by access to explosive declassified FBI files, Soviet archives, and Davis's original newspaper columns, Kengor explores how Obama sought out Davis and how Davis found in Obama an impressionable young man, one susceptible to Davis's worldview that opposed American policy and traditional values while praising communist regimes. Kengor sees remnants of this worldview in Obama's early life and even, ultimately, his presidency.
- "Armed Response: Home/Personal Defense Shotgun": This DVD training is part of a series that every self-governing and responsible American should see. The shotgun is one of the most potent self-defense weapons available if you understand its role in personal and home defense and how to make the best use of its advantages. "Home/Personal Defense Shotgun" explores how to choose the right shotgun and ammunition, its proper use and applications, shooting techniques and range drills to maximize your defensive capabilities.
- "Hope for America" by Greg Laurie: Is there hope for America? YES, but … don't bother looking for it in a fresh set of politicians, a turn-around of the economy, or a resurgence of military might. Our hope as a nation in fact, our very survival turns on our relationship with the living God, the God of our founding fathers. Will America experience revival…or will we be one more failed nation on the ash heap of history? Greg Laurie shows how the revival that will change America begins with the church…and each one of us. Be sure to check out the entire line of Greg Laurie books and videos in the WND Superstore.
- "Socialism: A Clear and Present Danger": Is socialism biblical? Is life better when Washington runs Wall Street and Main Street? This stunning new DVD video documentary from Coral Ridge Ministries offers answers at a time when socialism in on the march in America with business bailouts and government-run health care. Featuring fascinating first-hand accounts of life under socialism, footage from Cuba and Venezuela, and experts who once toed the socialist line, Socialism: A Clear and Present Danger gives you an illuminating look at the real-world results of Marx and his many followers – and why their failed idea violates God's Word. Featured experts include Chuck Colson, Steve Forbes, Michele Bachmann, Joseph Farah, Marvin Olasky, David Noebel, Wendy Wright, Jay Richards, Kay Arthur, Joshua Muravchik and David Horowitz. This broad-ranging DVD shows that socialism flunks both the test of scripture and history, It demonstrates that socialism, in any form, is a failed and dangerous idea.

With Vonn not competing because of a knee injury, the former Park City resident and graduate of the Winter Sports School took a big first step toward making herself one of the stars of the Sochi Olympics by winning her fourth Olympic medal — the most by an American woman — in the super-combined on Sunday.
Her bronze-medal finish behind Germany's Maria Hoefl-Riesch and Austria's Nicole Hosp only solidified her reputation as a big-race skier, too, coming as it did on the heels of a lackluster season on the World Cup tour.
"It's been a really tough season for me, and I've always just had that real belief that I can do it," she said.
Unlike Vonn, who has four overall World Cup titles and 59 victories, Mancuso never has especially shined outside of major events.
She has won just seven races in a 14-year career on the World Cup circuit — nothing higher than seventh, this season — but has nine career medals in the Olympics and world championships, including a silver in the super-combined at the 2010 Vancouver Games, where she won two silvers while Vonn won gold and bronze and all the world's attention.
That's probably because she grew up idolizing the Olympics far more than anything else.
"I get really energized," she said.
Mancuso entered the Games happily encouraging her reputation, and seemed totally validated at the finish of the slalom course, where she threw her arms in the air and shouted with joy, knowing she'd become only the third American to win medals at three Winter Olympics.
"See?" she gushed, moments later. "It works! It really works! Believing in yourself works. I got a medal today!"
Racing with her long brown hair flowing out from her helmet, the woman known as "Super Jules" who wears her own brand of lucky underwear scorched the downhill part of the race with a tremendous run from a late starting position — the super-combined involves one run of downhill and one run of slalom — to take the lead and give herself a chance at the podium.
"It was a very, very solid downhill run," coach Alex Hoedlmoser said. "From top to bottom."
But the slalom is hardly Mancuso's strength.
It's her weakest discipline, and she hadn't raced a slalom since a World Cup super-combined a year ago. Seven rivals sat within 1.27 seconds of her downhill time, among them Hosp, Hoefl-Riesch and Slovenia's Tina Maze — all stronger slalom skiers.
"I knew I had to just give my best shot," she said. "It sure didn't feel good. I definitely had moments in my mind where I was thinking, 'This is not going to be good enough, but keep fighting.' I knew where to let it run on that last pitch and — surprise! — looked up and got a medal."
Mancuso acknowledged thinking her lead wasn't big enough to hold off the big slalom guns.
But after Hosp and then Hoefl-Riesch posted two of the four fastest slalom times on long and rugged course — nine of 31 skiers did not finish — Maze managed only a pedestrian one, giving Mancuso an opening.
She posted just the 13th-fastest slalom time, but it was enough to beat Maze by 0.1 seconds overall.
"I knew that it was possible," Mancuso said. "Definitely if the hill was easier, I would be thinking, 'I'm going for gold.' That was tough and I really just wanted to make it down with a clean run. I don't know if I could do any better. I could definitely risk more, but without having the slalom mileage, it's really tough to snap off turns and try to make up speed. It's more just survive and get to the finish."
Now, Mancuso has installed herself as a favorite for the downhill on Wednesday, as well as the super-G on Saturday and the giant slalom on Feb. 18. She has won Olympic or world championship medals in each one.Next Page >

"Cindy Goes to a Party" was filmed in Lawrence, Kansas, and that is literally the most interesting thing about it. This gritty film tells the tale of Cindy, a little girl who wasn't invited to a party. When an emotionally needy fairy appears and whisks her away to crash the party, we learn exactly why she wasn't on the guest list in the first place.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong-based Ardon Maroon Fund Management, run by former Wall Street bank executives, has launched an Asia-focused hedge fund with seed capital from a European family office, a company document showed, aiming to profit from events such as mergers and restructurings.
The launch comes as Asian funds that focus on mergers and activities such as spin-offs or bankruptcies, also called event-driven funds, have outperformed so far in 2012, rising 5 percent on average against the 3.7 percent gain overall for Asian hedge funds, data from industry tracker Eurekahedge showed.
Frank Dominick, formerly of Morgan Stanley
Rahman earlier held the COO role at Artradis, which was once Singapore's biggest hedge fund with peak assets of $4.9 billion but wound up in 2011.
Maroon Capital Asia, the investment vehicle of European family office Maroon, has provided seed capital worth $25 million to the fund and working capital to support the business. Some former investors, former employers and new investors have made additional commitments, the document showed.
James O'Hanlon, a former managing director at Bank of America Corp
The Ardon Asia Fund will invest primarily in Hong Kong, China, Korea, Australia, Singapore, and Japan and takes opportunistic bets in India, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Event-driven funds trade in stocks, bonds, convertibles and other types of securities. Announced mergers and acquisitions deals in Asia-Pacific ex-Japan for the third quarter of 2012 amounted to around $136 billion, down about 8 percent from the same quarter of the previous year, according to preliminary data from Thomson Reuters.
Ardon had previously joined hands with New York-based Pulse Capital Partners to launch the fund in July last year with Pulse expected to arrange up to $50 million in initial capital. It was not immediately clear what happened to that plan.
Woo declined to comment.

With the holiday shopping season now here, even if you are not doing your shopping online there are threats you should be aware of. These scams target online shoppers, social media,
malicious mobile apps and even travel. Here are the top 12 online scams of the 2012 holiday season.
As the McAfee global consumer marketing vice president Gary David said in a blog post "With online holiday shopping expected to grow 12.1 percent in the US alone this year, to as much as $96 billion, and more people than ever using social media and mobile devices to connect, the cybercriminals have a lot of opportunities to spoil our fun."
This year's top 12 scams include:
1. Social media scams: Scammers can use sites like Facebook and Twitter to scam consumers during the holidays. Be careful when liking Fan Pages, clicking on fake alerts from friends' accounts that have been hacked, or installing suspicious "holiday deal" apps that give your private data away. Also beware of Twitter ads and special discounts for popular gifts using blind, shortened links.
2. Malicious Mobile Apps: Be careful not to download a malicious application designed to steal information or send out premium-rate text messages. Make sure that you only download applications from official app stores and check other users' reviews and the app's permission policies.
3. Travel Scams: Before booking travel arrangements, beware of scams with too-good-to-be-true deals, phony travel webpages with beautiful pictures and rock-bottom prices. The Federal Bureau of Investigation also warns travelers of a hotel Wi-Fi scam where a malicious pop-up ad prompts computer users to install a popular software product before connecting to their hotel Wi-Fi. Do a security software update before traveling, to guard against the latest scams.
4. Holiday Spam/Phishing: Cheap Rolex watches and pharmaceuticals may be advertised as the "perfect gift" while holiday-themed phishing emails may try to trick you into revealing financial or personal details by posing as an offer from a legitimate business.
5. The new iPad, iPhone 5, and other hot holiday gift scams: Cybercrooks are likely to mention must-have holiday gifts in dangerous links, phony contests and phishing emails.
6. Skype Message Scare: A new Skype message scam attempts to infect victims' machines, and hold their files for ransom. The threat appears as a Skype instant message with the scam line "Lol is this your new profile pic?" Clicking on the link downloads a Trojan onto the computer.
7. Bogus gift cards: Be wary of buying gift cards from third parties and buy instead from the official retailer.
8. Holiday SMiShing or phishing via text message: The scammer tries to lure you into revealing information by pretending to be a legitimate organization.
9. Phony E-tailers: Phony e-commerce sites that appear real will try to lure you into typing in your credit card number and other personal details.
10. Fake charities: Cybercriminals may try to fool you into thinking that they are a real charity, such as the Red Cross, with a "stolen logo and copycat text." It is safer to visit the charity's legitimate website.
11. Dangerous e-cards: Some are malicious and may contain spyware or viruses, or download a Trojan.
12. Phony classifieds: Phony offers may ask for too much personal information or ask you to wire funds via Western Union.

Marieta Islands
You should visit the Marieta Islands at least once in your life, to know, admire and feel a natural and beautiful paradise that is unique in the world.
The Marieta Islands or "Islas Tres Marietas" are a group of three small uninhabited islands a few miles west of the coast of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, in the Pacific Ocean.
The Marieta Islands were made famous by the world known oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. They were declared a biosphere reserve by the UNESCO.
You will find crystal clear waters and golden sandy beaches in Marieta Islands. They are home to many birds such as the nice and peculiar blue-footed booby, marine mammals, a large variety of fish, and of course, whales that stay here during the winter season.
Because the area of Marieta Islands were declared a protected national park, some activities such as fishing, hunting and any kind of human activity that puts the area at risk, are forbidden, including inland walking or exploration. It is needed a special government permission for that purpose.
To continue with the protection of the zone, only a few companies are allowed to conduct tours for going there, and luckily we are one of the very few that have the opportunity to invite you to enjoy an unforgettable tour visiting The Marieta Islands.
What to do and See on the Marieta Islands?
· Admire the shape of the islands, which is related to ancient volcanic activity in the ocean in that area.
· Observe large colonies of resident and migratory birds, both continental and marine like Frigate birds, gulls, pelicans, blue-footed booby, brown booby, and many others.
· Watch dolphins (all year round) and humpback whales (mid-December to late March).
· Diving and snorkeling in coral reefs where you can admire underwater landscapes of great beauty and color, inhabited by the Giant Manta, blue and yellow damsels and many other colorful fish.
· Practice the kayak and paddle board.
· Explore the many caves and other rock formations on the islands´ coast.
· Visit and relax in the beautiful little and cozy beaches such as the Hidden Beach, also known as 'Playa del Amor' located on the Round Island, the Dead Beach or 'Playa del Muerto' and the 'La Nopalera' beach in the Long Island or 'La Isla Larga'.
