Have you ever bought a credit repair book after reading credit repair reviews, only you never read it? How about called a national credit repair service and said "Fix my credit," then immediately hung up? If you've been complaining to your Saint Hedwig, TX friends and colleagues about needing a credit fix, but you haven't done anything, it amounts to the same thing. The only way to fix bad credit is to take action and start doing it. Take the first step today and call your Saint Hedwig credit repair resource specialists.
If credit repair software could take your Saint Hedwig, TX credit scores and magically improve them, you can bet that A) lots of people would be buying it, and B) there would be a lot of lawsuits since the credit repair software would probably be illegal. Don't get scammed. Magical Saint Hedwig credit solutions are either false or illegal. For real help with credit repair services, contact a reliable credit repair company or consumer credit counseling service. Unfortunately, there aren't any shortcuts. Quick credit repair is possible, but it still takes time.
The three companies that handle your Saint Hedwig credit scores are Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion, and each year you are entitled to a free credit report from each of them. If you're thinking about Saint Hedwig, TX bad credit repair or credit restoration, these free reports are a great place to start. They'll give you line-by-line information and allow you to look for any errors if you think something has been misreported. Keep in mind that if you order your reports more than once, it can have a negative impact on your scores. Call us for more info.
In the current bad economy, your Saint Hedwig, TX financial situation is more difficult if you need debt solutions or consumer credit repair. Credit card companies know this, and they'll do whatever they can to take advantage of your hardship. They're all too happy to kick you while you're down, and the frustration can make it hard to know where to turn for good advice or credit repair help. Fortunately, there are many Saint Hedwig consumer credit solutions if you know where to look, and our qualified agents can help you find them.
Saint Hedwig, TX residents seeking help with national credit repair might be tempted to read a credit repair book, and sometimes this is a great way to find good credit repair advice, as is using various kinds of credit repair software. However, such credit solutions can be slow and indirect, which is why, for fast credit repair that you know is current, your best best bet is to speak with a live credit repair service agent. For an up-to-date list of Saint Hedwig credit repair companies, contact our credit repair resource specialists.

Clearing Doubts
To Clear Doubts, Schiavo Autopsy PlannedWhat kind of logic is that? Oh, we have proof she should die, but she just has to be made dead first before we can show you?
As if there are any real "doubts" that just have to be "cleared"?
This has NOTHING TO DO with the extent of her brain injuries.
This has NOTHING TO DO with whether or not she'd ever recover.
This is an attempt to make "quality of life" -- a subjective decision, and influenced by biased third parties -- the basis for legalized Euthanasia.
And that's a Dystopia I refuse to allow.
The "right to die" has always been sold as reserved only for those terminally ill, and suffering in agony, when near their end.
Neither case is in effect here!
Look, the "hurry-up-and-die" people are probably next going to say, "oh look what you made us do, we were forced to make her die slowly and horribly! IF ONLY the laws allowed us to kill her quickly! You terrible heartless pro-life religious people!"
And then there will be a push to "fix" this problem, by making the killing easier and quicker.
But whew, at least my Doubts will have been Cleared!
What's their point? "See? It's DAMAGED! We can KILL IT!!!"

13: Gone Downhill
13: Gone Downhill
"Ok, guys, so here's the deal," explained Speedy to the others. They were all heading back to the Pizza Cat to take what was left of their belongings to the Palace for the time being. "As soon as we get everything to the Palace, we get out our armor and assist Little Tokyo with repulsing Chaos Kitten."
"We're up against several hundred robots and machines, Speedy," Guido protested. "Little Tokyo's army is down to 82% manpower, but Chaos's group has only lost a bare few of its flock. How are WE going to destroy them by ourselves while we're down one member?"
"And on top of all that, Curtis's Super-Cats have been having trouble making any progress on these things," GB added. He had joined the Pizza Cats on their third trip to the parlor.
Speedy refused to listen to these arguments. "We're just going to have to do the best we can while we're shorthanded. It's either we fight for this city and die as winners, or we DON'T fight and we die as losers."
Polly nodded her head. "Good point."
"The best advice I've heard from Speedy in the past 6 months," Guido cracked. "Are you serious about this, or have you been on drugs recently?"
Speedy just growled. "I'm serious about this, Guido. Are we in this together or not?"
At this point everyone had arrived in front of the parlor. When they heard his statement, everyone turned and looked at Speedy.
The Pizza Cat stood his ground. "Well?"
Polly glanced at the others, then held her hand out in front of her. "I'm in."
Speedy laid his to rest on top of hers. "Good. At least SOMEONE agrees with me."
GB shrugged. "Oh, well. Might as well do it and save the trouble." His clawed hand appeared on top of the others' a second later.
Everyone then turned to look at Guido. The blue-clothed Pizza Cat just chuckled and laid his hand on top of the rest, as well. "Sure. What kind of Pizza Cat would I be if I rejected teamwork?"
After a few seconds, everyone released their grips and walked inside the parlor single file. "What's left?" asked Guido.
"Just those 3 crates in the basement," said GB. "After we get these crates to the Palace, and we get to the root of the problem----"
"Oh, no you won't," purred a sinister voice. "You won't even live to see the light of day as long as I'M living."
A series of cracks, forming a square, burned onto the wall behind them. Everyone immediately sprung around. "Show yourself!" Speedy cried out, furious, as the others continued to stare in wonder at the wall.
"What, so you can stop me?" the voice purred, snickering. "Not with any of the 9 lives that I have coming."
Those were the last words that the 4 Pizza Cats heard before that section of the wall collapsed on top of them.
4 Rad-Cats, already suited up for combat, waited inside the Mansion's Command Center. Teasy, Chico, and Runner were seated in several spare chairs, heads resting on paws, half-asleep. Daniel, the more nervous of the 4, was pacing the floor in front of Curtis's supercomputer.
"What in the world is taking Curtis so long to call?" he asked aloud. "He knows that we don't like to be kept waiting."
"I'm sure he has a perfectly good reason for it," said Teasy, a yawn escaping his lips. "He could still be at the hospital, or he could even be---"
"Be what?" a voice interjected.
The 4 Rad-Cats looked around in confusion; whoever had said that had obviously woken them up. "Where'd that voice come from?" Runner said into the thick silence.
"From the monitor, you musclebound dummy," said another voice, this one female.
Teasy and his brothers finally looked at the supercomputer's viewscreen. Arrayed on it, from left to right, were Abigail, Cosmo, DeeDee, and Sundance, the New York Pizza Cats. Each of them looked tense, upset, worried, or all 3 at once, like Abigail.
"That bad, huh?" asked Chico, taking in the looks of the 4 NYPC.
"And it's gotten worse, too," said Sundance. "Korbi's army has overwhelmed the entire eastern half of the United States. With each state he's conquered, he's managed to get a whole lot more materials for his robots and tanks, which means that he's DEFINITELY on a roll!"
"And at the rate he's going, he could get coast to coast in less than a day!" DeeDee said, tapping a claw against the NYPC's monitor for emphasis.
"Well, ol' Curtis isn't in at the moment," snapped Teasy. "He's out doing who knows what. We've been waiting for him to give us the signal to go, but he hasn't given us any transmissions since this whole fight started 24 hours ago."
"We were going to raid Korbi's office," Cosmo interrupted. "Only thing is, we need backup. The main branch of the Super-Cats are the only ones that fit the bill. The Tennessee branch has already been taken out of action. We know that, because we got nothing but static when we tried to call."
Teasy thought for a moment, a smile coming to his face. Daniel could almost imagine a hydrogen bulb appearing above his head. "I've thought of something that just might save our fur. Stay on the line," Teasy ordered, tapping a few buttons on the supercomputer. After a couple moments, the face of Carlos Cosmos appeared on the monitor, taking up one quarter of space on the screen and blocking Abigail's view of the Rad-Cats. Chico snickered when he saw this.
"Carlos, do you read?" Teasy asked urgently.
"Yes, I can read, el loco gato," Carlos said, "but reading's not important unless Chaos starts throwing authors at us."
"Leave the jokes to me," hissed Teasy. "Are any of your pilots out?"
"Just my 5 top ones and myself, getting ready to take on the Land-Air Eggs," Carlos said, unsure of what Teasy wanted. "Why?"
"My brothers and I are getting ready to head out to the East Coast," Teasy explained, "but we need backup. The 4 of us will take the Radical Bomber over the ocean. What I need from YOU is to send the other half of your starfighter squadron along with us, because the Cheese crime family's new nation has----"
"----just crossed the Mississippi river," the supercomputer snapped suddenly.
"Okay, okay, Mu 2. You didn't have to shout," Teasy said, waving it off. "Anyways, we'll need help reaching Manhattan Island." He tapped a few more buttons on the viewscreen. "Escort us to the NYPC main headquarters, and then do what you can to run interference on the Cheeses." He turned to Sundance and the others. "That okay with you?"
Sundance looked at his own group, then back towards Teasy. "Yeah, sure. That's fine with us. How quickly can you be here?"
Teasy checked his watch. "Knowing how fast our vehicles are, I think we can be there in 1 hour. Can you hold out until then?"
"Easily," said Abigail. "Korbi's been thinking that we're not a threat, so he's let us keep the pizza place in business. We haven't taken as many customers, still, so we were thinking of doing something about it."
"I'm all for it, senors, senoritas," purred a grinning Carlos Cosmos. "Teasy, head down to the main hangar. I'll have your escorts waiting next to the Radical Bomber. Commander Cosmos, out."
Carlos's part of the monitor winked out of existence, followed seconds later by the New York Pizza Cats. Daniel looked at his brother for confirmation. Following the other's short nod, the 4 of them dashed out of the Center.
Minutes later, a nifty blue-green transport aircraft lifted off from the Mansion's main hangar bay and raced through the air towards the Pacific Ocean, blasting any enemy units that got too close.
Escorting the Rad-Cats were 6 nimble fighters. Their shapes started off round at the massive engines and then narrowed to a 1 meter gap on all sides; it then stretched out again to form the widest part of the cockpit, then narrowed down into a sharp point. Each of the 6 bristled with high-tech laser beam cannons and several rocket launchers. These 6 ships made up the second half of the renowned Cosmos Squadron, the hottest vehicles this side of the Pacific.
Inside the cockpit of the transport, Teasy stared outside as they roared over the perimeter of the main island. "This'll be our toughest assignment yet, guys," he said quietly. "How do you think we should handle this?"
"Cautiously," said Runner. "Cosmos Squadron runs interference for their defensive fire as the Radical Bomber continues on through."
"So, what're you saying, Hogan?" asked Teasy. "That each time something gets a lock on us, one of our escorts goes in, distracts them for a bit, then peels on back and regroups with us?"
"Sounds like a decent plan, actually," chimed Daniel.
"Hooooo-gan, the hero!" Chico whistled in admiration for the plot.
Teasy nodded, then dialed up Cosmos #7. "Lieutenant, here are your orders. Once we cross the western borderline, use your instruments continuously. Each time one of Korbi's defensive linemen get a lock on us, peel off and keep that particular unit busy until the Bomber is out of range. Once that's done, resume escort formation."
"Roger that, TM," said the cold voice of Cosmos #7's pilot. "You want us to destroy the unit that's bothering you, or just keep it occupied?"
"What do you want, specifics?" Teasy growled. "Destroy it, then reform!"
"All right, all right," Cosmos #7 said hastily. "Just wanted to know."
Teasy shut off the communicator and sat in his seat, fuming. Chico, chuckling, suddenly found himself on the receiving end of a Teasy Melika clothesline.
Runner voiced his concern. "You know, Teasy, you've sounded awfully serious recently. This is totally unlike you, you know." Lost in his thoughts, though, Teasy ignored the comment as he glared at the distant horizon, eager to take this fight to the enemy.
The Radical Bomber, escorted by the six ships of the Cosmos, roared through the Ring of Fire, sending sonic booms flaring across the atmosphere that took some time to dissipate.

NC pension fund returned 12 percent last year
The North Carolina pension fund reported a 12.28 percent gain on investments last year thanks largely to the strong performance of its stock portfolio.
The state Treasurer's office reported that assets of the pension fund, which provides retirement benefits for teachers and state employees, were $86.02 billion as of Dec. 31, up from $83.1 billion three months earlier and $78 billion at the end of 2012.
The stock portfolio rose 7.6 percent in the third quarter, and was up 26.24 percent for the year. Stocks account for just over 48 percent of the pension fund's investments.
Bonds, which account for nearly 31 percent of the portfolio, lost 0.18 percent in the quarter, and fell 3.49 percent for the fiscal year.
The real estate portfolio rose 1.81 percent in the third quarter and 11.56 percent for the year. The alternatives portfolio, which consists mostly of private equity funds, rose 4.16 percent in the quarter and was up 11.54 percent for the year.
The results come as the state is considering making changes to its pension structure. Last month, State Treasurer Janet Cowell announced the creation of an independent, bipartisan commission to review the state's governance structure for investment management.
The commission, which is expected to makes its recommendations to Cowell and the General Assembly by April 30, will look the state's current sole investment trustee structure and whether it should be replaced with an investment advisory committee model.
North Carolina is currently one of just four states with a sole fiduciary – the state treasurer – who makes all investment decisions in consultation with staff.
The State Employees Association of North Carolina, meanwhile, also announced early last month that it has hired a forensic investigator to look at the state pension investments for "conflicts of interest related to TSERS investments and potential violations of the federal securities laws."
SEANC, a frequent critic of Cowell, argues that the pension fund ought to be managed by a stakeholder board and not the state treasurer.

Two Destination Language - Journey of a Home

- Two Destination Language - Journey of a Home
- When:
- 27.05.2012 12.00 - 14.00
- Where:
- Molloy's - Bath
- Categories:
- Outside Now 2012 , Unspecified
A Journey of a Home is a one-on-one audio performance walk which takes you on a voyage. This voyage is the one you have never taken before - the biggest one so far. With themes of identity, border crossing and migration at the heart of the work, the piece deals with the 'long moment' created through the act of travelling, the place where we simultaneously look towards the future and back at what we have just left, in which hope meets reality. Each Journey of a Home walk, including preliminaries, takes approximately 16 minutes. Another element allows a wider audience to experience the work: our interactive Journey booth. The booth is where we invite the wider community of those encountering the work to share their journeys - the small, the big ones, the ones they want us to know about - by drawing or writing on specially designed cards. The journey cards are then displayed on and around the booth together with previously gathered journeys. This booth creates a focal point for discussion and encounters between audience members.

Mercury Striking is the first book in Zanetti's new "The Scorpius Syndrome" series.
Rebecca Zanetti is one of the few authors on my "auto buy" list. Literally, as soon a new book is announced, I pre-order it and then eagerly anticipate its release. Luckily for me, she seems to be a pretty prolific writer so even while I am catching up on her older works there is always new stuff coming out.
Lynne Harmony has trekked through post-plague America trying to elude the special forces looking for her. She is searching for the legendary Jax Mercury in gang and "ripper" infested Los Angeles and believes he's her last hope. She's tired of running and needs his help trying to find a way to stop the Scorpius bacteria. Jax is a modern day legend that was made famous during the early days of the plague when gang wars ensued. He is a former gang member turned Army special forces and he leads a small community in trying to survive.
Fascinated, he watched the blush deepen. When was the last time he'd seen a woman blush? He certainly hadn't expected it from the woman who some thought had taken out most of the human race.
This is a romance, but the love story is secondary to the plot. It is at its forefront a post apocalyptic story set in an urban "war zone" where the heroine juggles eluding the government, trying to find a top secret lab, and a budding romance with a damaged hero.
"That's where you're wrong, Lynne Harmony. The second you crossed into Vanguard territory, the very moment you asked for my help, that's exactly what you became."
"What?" she asked, sounding breathless now.
That is my kind of man. Overall, this was a strong start to what I expect will be another great series. I was a little meh about the subject matter, but even though this isn't exactly my kind of book. It kept me up at night reading, and that for me is the most important sign of a good book.

When I first came across this project I saw online, I thought "I can do this" . What I didn't realize about a month into it, is that 100 days is a long time. There are days I feel challanged. There are days (I'll admit) that I don't feel like posting. But what I realized is that it forces me to look at my own world in a way I never have. Truth be told, the winter was hard on me. The sun barely shined, the snow never stopped, and while I love my tiny corner of the world, it can get pretty bleak and lonely in the winter. I was depressed. I wanted very much to reach inside myself and start to appreciate the things that I know I take for granted. So I began this project. I think all we really want to be is happy. For me, it was a matter of starting off with the little things that I take for granted. Even on the saddest of days (which I have had) I force myself to find one thing to make me happy. No one wants to talk about their sadness out loud. No one wants to update their status feed with "Im depressed". I have to admit, just a month in, it's working. Also if you have not had a chance to watch this amazing documentary you really should! You can find it on Netflix. You can follow along on my journey on Instagram if you like. And if you are participating let me know your Instagram name, and I will follow, it's never to late to start the challenge. for more on being grateful you can check out this post too.
"When we decide to be happy we accept the responsibility to bring happiness to someone else. Some decide that happiness and glee are the same thing, they are not. When we choose happiness we accept the responsibility to lighten the load of someone else and to be a light on the path to another who may be walking in darkness".-Maya Angelou

How To Export LinkedIn Contacts And Then Import Into VipeCloud
If you are like most sales professionals, your contacts are king. And if you agree with our post that email is preferred by sales professionals over InMail, then access to your contacts for other uses is especially important. Here is a guide for how to export your LinkedIn contacts and then import them into VipeCloud.
Step 1. Export LinkedIn Contacts
LinkedIn doesn't make it super easy to do this, so hopefully this guide will help. (Tip, read all of Step 1 before you do anything.) If you want to click it through, login to LinkedIn and then go to your Network tab. Click the Manage All link in the Pending Invitations box. Then click the See All link under your connections count. Then click the Manage Imported Contact links on the right. And finally click the Export contacts in the Advanced section on the right.
Alternatively, you can simply click here: https://www.linkedin.com/settings/data-export-page. A couple notes:
Step 2. Import Your Connections Into VipeCloud
Now that you have your contacts outside of LinkedIn, let's put them to work! You can import them into VipeCloud's All-In-One CRM and from there send trackable emails, track your contact communications, and manage your resulting deals.
The process of importing your LinkedIn connections to VipeCloud is simple, after you've unzipped the downloaded file into a folder of several files:
That's it! If you have a lot of connections, our system will queue the import and notify you when complete. VipeCloud will also automatically create the contact and associated company records for every contact you import. Bonus - if you connect your email account to VipeCloud, we'll automatically log all emails sent to and from your contacts as activities toward the contact record, eliminating manual entry!
Take control of your contacts! Happy selling!
Almost done…
We just sent you an email. Please click the link in the email to confirm your subscription!

Winnipeg, MB – May 21, 2013 – The Learning Disabilities Association of Manitoba (LDAM) is bringing the world renowned Arrowsmith Program to Winnipeg for the first time with classes starting in September 2013. Created by Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, and based on neuroscience research and 30 years of experience, the program has proven successful in helping students overcome mild to severe learning disabilities.
"The Arrowsmith Program has been changing the lives of individuals and families coping with learning disabilities. We are very pleased to bring it to Manitoba for the first time," said Marilyn MacKinnon, Executive Director of the Learning Disabilities Association of Manitoba. "Most programs address learning disabilities by teaching students to compensate for their weaknesses. This program is focused on strengthening weak cognitive areas."
Parents will have the opportunity to learn firsthand about the program at a special free presentation this Thursday, May 23 at 7 p.m. next door to the Learning Disabilities Association of Manitoba at 623 Erin Street. Jessica Poulin, the Managing Coordinator for the Arrowsmith Program, will describe the program and be on hand to answer questions.
"Arrowsmith doesn't teach students to work around their problems, which is a common method of trying to cope with learning disabilities. Instead, under-functioning areas of the brain are targeted, stimulated and strengthened. It is like a workout for your brain – only unlike a muscle, brain tissue does not atrophy so there is no drop-off in function," said Poulin. "Over the years, we have heard from many Manitoba parents looking for more information on Arrowsmith, so we're very happy to be partnering with the Learning Disabilities Association of Manitoba to bring the program here."
The program is designed to individually identify each student's weak cognitive capacities. The program then uses intensive and graduated exercises to strengthen weak cognitive capacities. It is suitable for students with a wide range of mild to severe learning problems. It is designed to help students with average to above average intelligence who have one or more learning dysfunctions including in the following skills: reading, writing, mathematics, comprehension, logical reasoning, auditory memory and processing, and dyslexia.

Off-the-shoulder is a 90s trend that has been going strong in recent seasons, and I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. Try this warm weather staple in a few styles–cold shoulder cut-outs, slouchy peasant tops, and full-on off-the-shoulder like the ruffled top I'm wearing here. This trend showcases the neckline in a subtly sexy and feminine way, and for this alone, I LOVE IT!!! It is classic enough to stick around year after year. Be sure to invest in a high quality, well-fitted strapless bra, or my personal preference, reusable silicon nipple cover pasties. Pair your off-the-shoulder top with your favorite spring denim and get ready to unleash your inner 90s child!

FAA Assures Agent that TEFRA Statute of Limitations Applies Even for Adjustments Based on Position There Never Was a Partnership or Certain Individuals Weren't Partners
Field Attorney Advice 20162901F points out that even adjustments that take the position that a purported TEFRA partnership was not actually a partnership or that certain individuals weren't partners still has the statute of limitations for tax against the partners potentially lengthened by the TEFRA partnership statute of limitations found at IRC §6229.
The memorandum notes:
Partnership items flow through and appear in the computation of the taxable income of the partners and affect non-partnership items on a partner's tax return. I.R.C. §§ 6230(a)(1) and 6231(a)(4)-(a)(6); Treas. Reg. § 301.6231(a)(5)-1. There are two types of affected items, those that require only a computation of the tax immediately assessable; and those that require partner-level determinations made through a notice of deficiency. I.R.C. § 6230(a); Treas. Reg. § 301.6231(a)(6)-1; Petaluma FX Partners, LLC v. Commissioner, 131 T.C. 84, 90 (2008) aff'd in part, 591 F.3d 649 (2010).
In the partnership in question the IRS Agent is proposing to reallocate items regarding a partnership with the rationales outlined below:
The agent anticipates making adjustments to * * * that would reallocate all profits, losses, and credits to the general partner * * *. The agent would disallow section 45 refined coal tax credits and ordinary losses for * * * and * * * on the basis of three theories. One, that * * * is not a valid partnership. Two, that * * * and * * * do not have a bona fide partnership interest in * * *. Third, that the refined coal transactions lacked economic substance for * * * and * * *.
In the case, the agent had obtained a Form 872-P from the partnership to extend the statute of limitations on partnership items. It would appear the agent become concerned that if he took the position that there was not partnership or that certain individuals weren't actually partners that he would need to look to the normal statute of limitations for assessing tax against the individual partners, a statute that presumably is no longer open (thus leading to this FAA).
The Advice concludes this is not an issue, as the taxpayers had taken the position they had a partnership and were partners, so even if those turn out not to be the case, the TEFRA statute still controls.
If a partnership return is filed for a year but it is determined that no partnership exists, the subchapter that governs the procedure for taxing partnership items still applies to the extent provided in the regulations. IRC § 6233. The regulations provide that the TEFRA provisions will generally continue to apply if a purported partnership files a partnership return. Treas. Reg. § 301.6233-1T(a). "The determination of whether a partnership should be disregarded for tax purposes under a legal doctrine such as sham or economic substance is a partnership item." Petaluma FX Partners, LLC, 131 T.C. at 93.
The Advice concludes:
All three of the agent's proposed adjustments would be partnership items. The period of limitations for assessing any tax attributable to any partnership item for a partnership taxable year shall not expire before the date which is three years after the later of the date on which the partnership return for such taxable year was filed, or the last date for filing such return for such year, without regard to extensions. IRC § 6229(a). The adjustments are attributable to a partnership items and the period of limitations is determined by section 6229. Therefore, the period of limitations for assessing tax is based on * * *, period of limitations and not the individual partners', because the adjustments are attributable to partnership items.

I suppose that because seeds have always been a fascination for me that it pointed out what I see as a rather big hole in many of their plans. Many of them think far enough to pack seeds.. and even point out that one should pack non-hybrid seeds in their reserves... but .. but... always there is a but..
Worse yet.. many buy into to that gimmicky pvc "seed bank" of delusional security. That whole thing makes me cringe as so many are feeling this false sense of security to such a degree that they post videos on youtube about their pride of that purchase. Reality is that most all of them couldn't tell you how to even get a plot of dirt prepped for a garden.
So there are a ton of people all looking glassy eyed at this piece of plastic and thinking... "whew! I got that covered.. I am good to go!" Yeah... only if by some freak chance all plant disease and pests as well get eradicated.
There are strains not found in seed catalogs... not sold by seed distribution companies.. they are raised by a few hundred people... or even just one. Most people think there are maybe a hundred or so cultivars of tomatoes.. all they see are the ones in the seed racks or the transplants at the nursery. There are literally thousands.
Now while some crops are easy to sae seeds from.. like beans and peas and often peppers.. others are a challenge. Squash... because C. Pepo is a species with so many different summer squash and a few winter squash with heavy pollen and nectar producing flowers that bees go berserk (read.. cross pollination galore unless you deliberately take steps to prevent it).. or corn which can send out millions of pollen grains for a week which is carried on the wind (again.. something you need to time the bloom of, know isolation distances, or know how to bag them.)
How about those that need to be over wintered to get seeds? Root crops that have good storage ability, often the crops eaten in the winter.. kinda important ones you want to keep going.
Herbs, flowers and especially cover crops get overlooked. Yes... flowers. Here's my point.. pollinators are important. You want them to set up shop so that your garden is productive. Although they do have a range to wander in their foraging pursuits... it isn't nearly as far as the typical person thinks it is. While not every survivalist is going to keep bees... anyone gardening food crops knows the importance of pollinators. Many crops have multiple purposes aside from putting food on the table... learn to save those seeds too. Alfalfa for example... nitrogen fixing plant that also is a feedstock for livestock, blooms attract some bees and other pollinators, helps prevent soil erosion. Clover is another multi tasker.. bee forage, livestock forage, green manure source, nitrogen fixer.. and some of them are edible (tea can be made from it as well the greens can be cooked).
I suppose my gripe is that you can just pick up a bunch of seeds and think you have all of your bases covered. If one is so worried about crops being stolen... hedge your bets and plant an orchard. Variety outside of the box store offerings. Actually grow the plants and save the seeds. Grow the seeds you saved and see how well you have done maintaining the strain. Know how to store the seeds properly. I mean how many survivalists have desiccant on their "must have" list?
A plastic storage bin with seeds in paper bags that someone has written the date they purchased them all over means nothing when it gets invaded by bugs... or worse... moisture.
Another thing.. some seed packets.. the seeds are already several years old. When they put a "sell by" date.. as they legally have to.. all it means is this.. a germination test was conducted, and the seed passed the testing requirements.. the date means nothing more than a window of time (13 months) in which the seed can be sold.
Knowing how to perpetuate a crop might just be a factor they would want to practice. Knowing how to select for traits, avoid genetic bottlenecking, be able to identify and handle disease/pests etc. is something over the last few generations that has fallen on the back burners. It used to be common practice in many households as it was key to survival. (As was diversity of plantings and foraging.)
That's my thoughts on that for the moment.
2 comments:
a very good post. I was actually thinking about doing a post on seed storage and how not to buy into those survival seed banks.ReplyDelete
I store my seeds in two year boxes. One for the current year and the other for the next year which is being built. I use ammo cans with good seals and dessicants with seeds wrapped in paper inside.
I would have to say that most every survivalist or prepper knows about dessicants though.
You are also very correst ont he cross pollination of squash, heirloom squash is hard to find.
Yes... and no about the desiccants. They don't store them in the right containers or think a ziplock covers it. Airtight (which ziplocks aren't) ideally dark and temperature control needed. Plus if you dry out most seeds to about 3% moisture you can store a lot of them for decades in the freezer... as well a treatment in the freezer will also kill off some bugs that eat the seed. Although the test to see if seed has dried enough is that they snap in 1/2 when folded and do not bend.ReplyDelete
Ammo boxes are flippin' perfect! I have airtight jars for mine. I try not to mess with them too much and go off of a list that has their name (and latin name), date of collection, growth info, how many.. and when planting I refer to a chart I made of what crosses with what. The seeds are in 2 basic categories of cool weather and hot weather.
Open pollinated and heirloom squash aren't too difficult to find. Some are still popular.. like Black Beauty zucchini.
Open pollinated means the strain has been stabilized for 7 generations or better. Heirloom are strains that have been maintained for a long time (many decades or more..hence "heirloom") and so they are also open pollinated cultivars. Heirlooms can have some rather temperamental strains.
Trying to control cross pollination of C. Pepo squash can sometimes feel like you are trying to round up a hundred 6 year olds after they drank a lot of Jolt.
Then again some people think you can just plant the seeds of an apple and grow a tree that has those same apples. If only that were the case! Palatable apples are one in a few thousand from seed.. which is why they are grafted.
I hope you do write about the seed banks. Maybe point out that if you do get one or have already gotten one.. don't forget to bury a tool to open it with once you have sealed it and buried it. lol
The one that totally makes me laugh in between shooting balls of fire from my eyes is a certain "survival" seed bank that sells for $150 plus shipping.
You can get the MYLAR bags from a lot of sources. Eggplant.. zero nutritional value.. and only offering 1 variety?!? And Brandywine tomatoes.. they are lovely and tasty, but they are finicky seedlings as well the plant is a late season tomato. With ones like Silver Fir Tree and Siberian and Stupice... they too are heirloom/ open pollinated but also early season and more hardy. And.. ONION seed is notorious for not having a long shelf life no matter what glorified packaging you put it in. Long term.. meaning more than a year or two... is by freezing. Period.
Stopping now.. "survival" seed banks I could rip on for hours. They flat out prey on people with good intentions.

Atomic Blonde is a 2017 American action spy thriller film directed by David Leitch, in his first solo directorial credit, and written by Kurt Johnstad. It is based on Antony Johnston and Sam Hart's 2012 graphic novel The Coldest City, published by Oni Press, which revolves around a spy who has to find a list of double agents who are being smuggled into the West on the eve of the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The film stars Charlize Theron and James McAvoy, with John Goodman, Til Schweiger, Eddie Marsan, Sofia Boutella and Toby Jones in supporting roles.
Budget $30 Million
Box Office $28.9 Million (so far)
This R13 movie has enough bad language, blood and breasts to achieve it's rating.
Therion gets to do a lot of great fight scenes and walks away from all of them. Which is the first problem.
There is plenty of 1980's music, but it doesn't get in the way of the action. The second problem is that songs are repeated, I lived through the 1980's and there is a lot more music that could have been used.
But the third (and main problem) is the tone of the movie. It's not an extravagant wink-wink Bond style action romp. It's not a down and gritty blood and guts action film as the hero is almost invincible. And it's not a tense, edge of the seat thriller. It just sits between them all and in the ends becomes just average.

When it comes to business incubators, manufacturing-focused programs are a rarity. In fact, there is only a handful of manufacturing incubation programs in the country. And during her two years as President & CEO of the International Business Innovation Association, Kirstie Chadwick's visit to the Lehigh Valley was her first time checking one out.
"The manufacturing sector in the United States is starting to grow again, in part due to rising labor costs overseas, the quality of goods produced, and outsourcing becoming financially unbeneficial," said Chadwick. "Many business incubation programs today have makerspaces, but those are only early stepping stones to manufacturing. Our country could use more manufacturing incubators."
Chadwick's organization, known as InBIA for short, is a global network of incubators, accelerators and other entrepreneurial support organizations in a variety of industries. The global nonprofit organization serves a diverse group of entrepreneurship centers, program managers, directors, and policymakers with guidance, mentorship, and the development of sustainable entrepreneur support programs in every industry and demographic. Its goal is to enrich the entire ecosystem by providing industry resources, education, events, and global programming to help its members better serve the needs of their communities and regions.
"Advocacy is our key role," explained Chadwick. "We look at trends and patterns and use research and data collection to inform us and our members on what areas need our support the most. So being here to learn about the manufacturing industry is very helpful to me since it's such a niche industry as far as business incubators are concerned."
With over 25 years of experience at technology companies, including executive roles at five venture-backed technology startups, and a role as co-founder and CEO of her own company, she admits she quickly learned that "business incubation isn't all about tech, software companies, and venture capital. After all, the vast majority of startups aren't funded through venture capital."
"There is a diversity in entrepreneurship, which I love," she explained. "Incubators are a blending of dynamics; superhubs and centers with multiple facets. They help entrepreneurs get from the ideation stage into the development and production stages, and connect them to resources in the community that they might not have had otherwise."
Visits such as the one Chadwick did to the Bridgeworks Enterprise Center in Allentown earlier this month help to inform her about different aspects of incubation programs and thereby allows her to use actual case studies of programs she has visited in her advocacy work. "A lot of stakeholders don't want to hear some things from their startups or program managers, so they need an organization like InBIA to say it for them on a larger scale.
During her visit to Bridgeworks, Chadwick and Program Manager Anthony Durante toured the facility where she visited many client spaces and met with the owners of Amorphic Tech Ltd., JH Plastics, and LightLab International Allentown LLC, each of which shared the story of their business.
She also received a tour of several other incubators around the region, including Jump Start Berks in Reading, TechVentures in Bethlehem, and TekRidge in Jessup. Chadwick was also the keynote speaker at Venture Idol, the annual pitch competition put on by Ben Franklin Technology Partners Northeast.

Dresden (German pronunciation: [ˈdʁeːsdn̩]) is the capital city of the Free State of Saxony in Germany. It is situated in a valley on the River Elbe, near the Czech border.
Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendour. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city centre. The controversial British and American bombing of Dresden in World War II towards the end of the war killed approximately 25,000, many of whom were civilians, and destroyed the entire city centre. The bombing gutted the city, as it did for other major German cities. After the war restoration work has helped to reconstruct parts of the historic inner city, including the Katholische Hofkirche, the Semper Oper and the Dresdner Frauenkirche as well as the suburbs.
Before and since German reunification in 1990, Dresden was and is a cultural, educational, political and economic center of Germany and Europe. The Dresden University of Technology is one of the 10 largest universities in Germany and part of the German Universities Excellence Initiative.
Dresden is a double-disc live album by Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek. The double album was released in 2009 on the ECM label, almost forty years after his first record for them (1970). It was Garbarek's first live album with his own group, recorded in the German city of Dresden in 2007.
All compositions by Jan Garbarek, unless otherwise noted
Dresden is a 2006 German television film directed by Roland Suso Richter. It is set during the bombing of Dresden in World War II.
This romance movie takes place during the historical attack against the city of Dresden in February 1945. It was produced by the ZDF, a German Public Television Programme, and was originally split in two parts of 90 minutes each. A cinema version was then released in 2010.
The film was inspired by Jörg Friedrich's book "The Fire". The €10 million production was shot on original locations in Dresden and Chemnitz.
Anna (Felicitas Woll), daughter of a wealthy hospital director, works as a nurse along with her father and her future husband, Doctor Alexander (Benjamin Sadler). Whilst behind enemy lines, British pilot Robert Newman (John Light) is severely wounded and hides in the hospital's cellar. Anna finds him and cures his wounds, slowly falling in love with him.
The story takes place during the bombing of Dresden (14 to 15 February 1945) and it follows the characters through 3 days in the city.

Your wedding dress is the ultimate representation of your bridal style, whether you favor beautiful bohemianism or elegant minimalism. However, finding the perfect dress doesn't always lead to a happy ending. The lengthy process of ordering, manufacturing, and shipping a bridal gown can, albeit rarely, result in a flawed reproduction of the gown you fell head over heels for in the salon. So what is a bride to do when her dream dress isn't quite so dreamy after all? Our etiquette experts weigh in on dealing with a damaged gown just before your big day.
Before taking further action, formally communicate your complaints to the company responsible for your wedding gown. The damage and delay should incumbent on the wedding gown designer or bridal boutique to fix, and therefore the company should foot the bill for any errors.
Next, consider your options for the big day. If you still adore the style of your gown despite the damage, work with the designer, an experienced dry cleaner, or an expert tailor to find if there is any way to salvage the dress. Many alterations companies and dry cleaners can remedy simple errors in a timely fashion if properly compensated.
If recovering your gown isn't an option, you need to think about your backup options. Unfortunately, custom or made-to-order gowns are not an option on short notice, but an off-the-rack alternative may be your best option for the celebration. Many department stores offer in-house tailoring for formalwear and bridal attire. Your favorite local vintage boutique may also offer a selection of great gown just waiting to be discovered.

Finally, think about asking a parent or family member to volunteer their gown for your use on the big day. With the right tailoring and a quick trip to the dry cleaner, a loved one's dress can easily become your perfect bridal attire with the added benefit of sentimental attachment.

Home, Facebook Inc.'s family of apps for Android, is available to Canadian users.
Described as a "launcher" by observers, Home automatically starts up when users turn on their phones, meaning there's no need to start a Facebook app.
Home is available for download in Canada on the Google Play store; it was made available Tuesday afternoon.
U.S. users were able to download Home and purchase preloaded devices starting last week. Facebook has partnered with Taiwanese manufacturer HTC and AT&T to release the first preloaded model, called First, in the U.S.
There's no word on when a pre-loaded device could be available in Canada.
Analysts have said that putting the social network, and potentially its advertising, front and centre is a worthy experiment to increase mobile-use and opportunities to generate revenue.
"And that presents the biggest obstacle to success for this experiment: Facebook's objectives and users' are once again in conflict," Ovum telecoms analyst Jan Dawson said earlier this month, following Facebook's Home announcement.
But he said Home also has selling points for users, noting it will become easier and faster to message and share information including photos.
Home's functions include "coverfeed," which keeps Facebook news scrolling through the phone's locked screen, with quick access to "comment" and "like." For quick messaging, avatars popup even when the user is doing something non-Facebook related on their phone.
Bloomberg reported this week that Facebook is in talks with Apple and Microsoft about developing versions of Home for their operating systems.

Former FBI director to probeTrump-Russia ties
Former FBI director and prosecutor Robert Mueller is taking on a new challenge in the midst of a crisis that threatens the presidency of the United States. Fred Katayama reports.
Former FBI director Robert Mueller getting positive reviews on the streets of New York. The Justice Department chose him to investigate whether Russians tried to interfere with the U.S. presidential election and probe alleged ties of President Donald Trump's campaign team to Moscow. Trump called Mueller's investigation the 'greatest witch hunt' in U.S. history and denied any wrongdoing. But New Yorkers praised Mueller's appointment. (SOUNDBITE) MARIE SMITH, (ENGLISH) SAYING: "The people that they had, you know, leading the investigation before, I think that there's probably some conflicts of interest there. Even if it's just to give the appearance of impartiality, it's good to have someone else come in, who is not as connected to the administration, and have them lead the investigation. You don't want an investigation tainted. You don't want people thinking that there is, you know, a cover up or some sort of collusion going on. So, I think, it's good that they brought in a special prosecutor." (SOUNDBITE) GENE KESHYAN (ENGLISH) SAYING: "I think he's had the trust of previous presidents for over a decade. I think that he is an impartial party and there's no cause for concern for any Republican or Democrat to say it's unfair. I think it's a very fair pick." Mueller's investigation will run in parallel to two others by the FBI and the U.S. Congress.

T-Series gets audio rights of Rahman's Raavan
MUMBAI: Continuing its tryst with A R Rahman's titles, music giant T-series has managed to lap the audio rights of his latest mega project 'Raavan'. The music major has acquired the audio rights of the Hindi version of the trilingual saga directed by Mani Ratnam starring power couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
According to reports, Sony Music was tipped to acquire the music of the film but T-Series walked away with the cake. From Slumdog Millionaire to Delhi 6, the label has been the favoured label of the maestro's body of work
The music of the film will release in April and the movie will hit screens on 18 June, informs T-Series' president- marketing media publishing (TV) Vinod Bhanushali. "It is a magnum project which brings together the winning combination of Mani Ratnam and A R Rahman. The film's star cast is also quite an attraction."
"The promotions of the film will be big and heavy, though we are still in the planning stage," he adds.

Modern Home Accessories for Your Design
Spice up your interior design with some modern accessories and play with them around for a touch of originality and modernity!
Want to give a modern touch to your design, but don't want to have a full modern design? You can try placing just some modern home accessories here and there in order to bring that touch you want. Only you determine how much of a modern style you want in your design and it's a great idea that you can customize it!
One important thing to know about placing modern accessories in your home is the fact that the material is very important. Modern design prefers using light and practical materials, like glass or light metal. Even though they may not be that resistant in time, they're practical since they're easy to clean and to maintain. Plus they're easy to maintain and to clean.
Another element when looking for modern home accessories for your design is simplicity. Nobody wants furniture with intricate designs and decorations, but plain and even shiny surfaces that help in reflecting light and creating a more airy environment. Alternatively, you can go for light wood and plastic and choose either neutral colors, like black, white, grey or beige, or you can choose bright colors for a more vivid look: bright orange, fresh greens and blues or sunny yellows.
And since we're talking about simplicity, your modern home accessories should have clearly defined geometrical shapes. Angular mirrors are not something unusual, just like geometrical decorative objects. You can also use simple geometrical patterns on cushions or even wallpapers for instance. Even if you don't believe it, the right combination of geometrical patterns, colors and shapes can make for a great modern design in your home.
Lighting is also a very important aspect in designing a modern room and integrating modern home accessories. This kind of design chooses to focus on simple and economic lighting. The modern principles in interior design value very much economy and try to avoid wastage as much as possible, and for this reason we see how economic light bulbs or LED lighting have become more and more popular in the recent years. A great advantage of this type of lighting is that it can be easy integrated even in the furniture, for instance in a closet where you don't get too much light or in hard to access spots in your home.
A great trick you should take into account when choosing modern home accessories for your design is the play on shiny/matte surfaces. Sometimes it's worth to take a step outside the shiny surfaces like the fridge or kitchen counters. Matte is always more elegant and it will save you the worry of scratching the surface or spoiling the shine. A truly wonderful effect is given by the black matte objects, like decorative ones, the cutlery in the kitchen or even the useful small bowls around the house where you keep your keys or other small stuff. Remember not to spoil the harmony of the interior design by including too many or inappropriate modern home accessories and have fun playing around!

Amit Varma is a writer based in Mumbai. He worked in journalism for over a decade, and won the Bastiat Prize for Journalism in 2007. His bestselling novel, My Friend Sancho, was published in 2009. He is best known for his blog, India Uncut. His current project is a non-fiction book about the lack of personal and economic freedoms in post-Independence India.
In a funny and bizarre turn of events, farmers in Uttarakhand are using Honey Singh's music to scare away wild boars.
And guess what? It's actually working! As per a report, farmers have now started playing Honey Singh's songs on loudspeakers and not just boars even other wild animals have stopped coming to the field. [...]
Not only this, farmers have said that they often play bhajans and other Punjabi songs in high volumes and it has the same effect on wild animals as Honey Singh's music.
That last line gives it away. It's not Honey Singh's music in particular that the wild boars are objecting to, but loud music in general. Boars, being more cultured than humans in at least this one aspect, like their peace and quiet.
A further data point to buttress my case: I have never come across a wild boar during a rock concert, or during Ganpati in Mumbai.
Now, if only it was as easy to drive away wild bores.

Research interests
In more than 25 years of research, most of Steve's emphasis has centered on the use of time-series remotely sensed imagery for land cover mapping and monitoring applications. Although some of his work has used (and continues to use) multiseasonal imagery from Landsat and similar sensors, he currently is more focused on the use of dense time-series imagery from wide-field sensors such as MODIS. Recent and current studies include using time-series imagery to map the agricultural landscape of the Central Great Plains; examining the relationship of vegetation phenology metrics (VPMs), such as onset of greenness, to actual vegetation growth stages and conditions on the ground; and exploring the impacts of date variations in maximum-value NDVI composites.
In addition to the study and application of time-series remotely sensed imagery, he also is involved in the use of geospatial technologies for responding to, and mitigating, both natural and human disasters. In that regard, he has been involved for several years with a team from KU in assisting the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining in evaluating a handheld mapping system for creating field databases of minefields. The group also has ongoing research projects to create inundation databases for the state of Kansas to assist in mapping predicted flood extents.
Current projects
- Use of time-series satellite imagery to characterize and monitor land use and land cover.
- Evaluation of geospatial technologies for mapping and maintaining minefield databases.
- Geographic aspects of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and related crimes against humanity.

I'm not a fiscal liberal, or a supporter of the death penalty, or someone who believes that a candidacy for the presidency of the United States should be based on someone's religious faith. So Huckabee is not for me. But he is easily the most appealing candidate for the current big-spending, evangelical, Southern Republican party. I don't find his religious schtick in any way appealing. It's glib in one area where glibness really is inappropriate. To say something like
"Jesus was far too smart to seek public office"
may have a superficial appeal, but it is also a cheapening of Jesus' radical injunction to forswear worldly power and wealth. To use such a cheap line to score a laugh in a political debate is not something I find particularly admirable.
But among the crowd on stage, Huckabee seemed by far the most congenial candidate. Paul is much clearer; McCain soared tonight, in my view. I think McCain's experience, independent streak, fiscal responsibility, moral core, and national security mastery make him easily the best viable candidate on stage. Yes, I am immensely proud of Ron Paul. And after Iraq, I find his non-interventionism far more credible than McCain's full neocon jacket. But experience does count; and McCain is in a class of his own in wartime.
Nonetheless, it's clear that today's Dixie-based, pro-torture, anti-immigrant GOP will find it very hard to accept the bipartisan, anti-torture supporter of comprehensive immigration reform as its candidate. Romney really is a tool. Giuliani is just too urban for the party Rove has built. So you can see why Huckabee is rising. I bet he's on a roll now. As "Richelieu" puts it, he does have the most important qualification of anyone on stage:
A degree in Bible Studies from Ouachita Baptist University of Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
Think of tonight as Rove's Frankenstein moment.

Witch HunterWith pistol in hand and a furious desire to root out heresy, the Witch Hunter is a formidable fighter.
Judge, jury and executioner combined, a Witch Hunter will use any means necessary to burn out heresy from the heart of the Empire. Not a twinge of doubt softens the knife-sharp edges of a Witch Hunter's soul; his bleak existence allows no room for foibles such as compassion or mercy. Indeed, they are often feared even by the innocent, as it is said that a Witch Hunter would sooner raze an entire village to the ground then see a single worshipper of Chaos go free. And yet for all the heartlessness and cruelty of this dark brotherhood, the Empire needs men of this calibre - men who will put aside their own humanity in order to punish and destroy those who embrace dark sorcery or the temptation of Chaos. Such is a Witch Hunter's duty, and it is a burden lesser men would find impossible to bear.

- Accusation
The Witch Hunter levels his finger across the battlefield and accuses one of the enemy of arch-heresy!
- Slippery
Those who are "slippery" cannot be cornered or pinned - they simply "slip" away…
- Encourage
This unit provides a Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
- Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
- Immune to Psychology
The unit is immune to psychological attacks (fear and terror).
- Fire Whilst Moving
This unit can fire while on the move.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Armour-Piercing Missiles
The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- Duellist
This unit is best used to attack individual targets such as Heroes. As it can only damage very few individuals at a time, it is not suitable against hordes of weak enemies.
- Fire whilst moving
This unit can fire while on the move.

Chris: and we saw people doing something in a car
Brian: so we pulled up right behind them
Chris: I had the headlights all on their rear view mirror
Brian: anyway

Brian: yeah we're trying to get a show somewhere around here on Jan 6th.
HB: where are they from?
Chris: Evansville, IN
HB: how'd you hook up with them?
Brian: We're friends with the guys in Whippersnapper who are on Lobster records and they told us here you'd probably like this shit a lot and gave us the CD and it blew us away so Matt e-mailed them and said hey we want to go on tour blablabla here's when we're leaving and they said alright.
Jason: they actually joined us for half the tour, the first half we were doing it alone, and I mean it wasn't the best a tour could've been but it was pretty good for our first one
Brian: for going out and not knowing what the fuck you're doing
HB: that's awesome
Chris: much thanks to everyone who gave us a place to stay, something to eat, and lots of rum
Jason: we made a lot of friends
HB: I've seen that you guys are on the Nothing Left #8 comp. How'd you pull that off since they're some pretty well known bands on there?

Matt: 2 shows in Atlanta and total probably 5
(A discussion trying to remember a bunch of old bands and where they played ensues)

Matt: yeah I was in a band by myself
HB: How did you guys get hooked up with Hot Water Music? Since you play with them whenever they're fairly close by.

Jason: basically we just need to save money
Brian: we're really bad about money and none of us really have money for rent and other necessities
Chris: since we just came back from tour we need to catch up on that month we kinda missed
HB: How did you do that, just work your asses off and then go out?
Chris: no not really, I got an insurance claim on my car and was able to pay everything off and leave with like $40
Brian: I left with zero
HB: so how'd you pull that off?
Chris: right
Matt: our parents sent money
Brian: thanks mom thanks dad
Jason: from the shows we usually made enough to pay for gas and get something to eat
Brian: I'm all about the slurpies, but we helped each other out when someone came into money
Chris: Jason doesn't have any toes because I was hungry (conversation about eating Jason's toes ensues)
Brian: they almost got into a fight in Gainesville
Jason: it would have been a pulverization
Chris: he is the master of the DDT
Jason: I'm part ninja
Brian: Matt and I somehow kept our noses out of it and went to sleep and everything worked out the next day
HB: so how did you find being in a van with each other for a month? Were there many fights?
Chris: no that was the only one really, I mean there was name calling and stuff but 5 minutes later we'd all be laughing about a fart or something stupid together
Brian: that was definitely the worst, but the whole time was awesome
Chris: Boston ripped
Brian: it'd be nice to actually play there one day
HB: so when do you plan on going out again?
Matt: one day
Brian: we're going out in Jan with Mock Orange for like a week
Matt: and doing a split with them
Brian: we're pretty hard up on everything right now, we need to write new songs, and stop playing all the same songs, but we never practice and we play tons of shows
Chris: we practice but its not enough time to get anything done, the one's we know go alright but the others…
Jason: we have 2 songs now but you know how they're just not quite ready
HB: I know 2 of you live in Athens, 1 in Atlanta, and 1 in Peachtree City. How the hell does that work?
Jason: I drive my golf cart up to practice.
Chris: but anyway, we're trying to kinda go out on weekends if at all possible
Brian: but we're not sure at this point until we write new stuff, we have 2 new songs and another one we might bring back, we just want to write and we never do it
Chris: we just want to get the stuff we have out and February 14th
