TITUS ANDRONICUS live at Quinnipiac Festapalooza. Hamden CT. 4.20.12
July 10th 2010 may have been the first truly beautiful day of my life. If the previous March was the watershed month that set my life on the course that it's been on for the past two years, then July 10th was the first real manifestation of that change. That night, Titus Andronicus played a packed show in New Haven, Connecticut with Hallelujah The Hills and Bomb The Music Industry!. That night I found out what it was like to be thoroughly engaged with music on both a physical and mental level. Much like TItus Andronicus' record The Monitor, released earlier that year, had made me experience recorded music in a different way, that show at Lilly's Pad made me appreciate live music more than I ever had before.
Needless to say, when I found out that the dynamic pairing of Titus Andronicus and Bomb The Music Industry! would be returning to Connecticut, I was excited. I had seen Titus Andronicus twice since that show two years ago, and had seen Bomb The Music Industry! once more as well. My friend Ben Goodheart tipped me off that he was trying to get the two to headline a day-long festival he was putting together at Quinnipiac, and I waited with baited breath for the official announcement. As it turned out, the lineup was even better than I could have expected. In addition to two Quinnipiac-affiliated acts, the festival (dubbed Festapalooza) boasted The Front Bottoms and my good friends in The Guru.
When I arrived at the Quinnipiac campus yesterday, I immediately spotted the members of The Guru looking out from a bay window on the second floor of the athletic center where the show was being held. They waved down to me, and I entered the building and ascended the stairs in an attempt to track them down. Soon enough, I found myself backstage, quite accidentally. As I hobnobbed with The Guru, I realized that the members of Titus Andronicus and The Front Bottoms were lounging around in the very same room. I quickly re-introduced myself to Patrick Stickles (whom I had met three times before) before being called downstairs to do an impromptu video interview with The Guru. Soon enough, it was time to start the show.
I didn't pay much attention to the opening act The Midnighters, but I found myself drawn to their followup act Great Caesar, a local group whom I had previously seen at The Space last year. I didn't remember much about them from that show, but they quickly won me over last night with their power pop guitar licks and jazz sensibilities. Their frontman sang like a cross between Paul Westerberg and a 1950s crooner, and the combination of shoegazy guitars and tenor saxophone was exciting and unique. The Guru came on next, and within seconds of their first song I was brought back to this past summer, when going to a Guru show was practically a weekly activity for me. Their set was just as fun and as engaging as any I've seen, and the growing crowd seemed to really enjoy their frenetic psych-rock vibe.
Afterwards, The Front Bottoms took the stage, supplementing their traditional guitar/drums duo formula with a bassist/keyboardist. I had never given much serious listening to this band before, but from what I could tell, their bolstered sound really helped their performance. I was also amazed and surprised by what a draw they had, and how active their fans were during the show. For an acoustic guitar-led band that doesn't really qualify as 'folk punk,' they maintained an incredibly high level of energy and crowd participation throughout. They also established a level of fun that topped even The Guru that night — a hard task to accomplish.
Although it actually seemed like The Front Bottoms had the most devoted fans of the night, my level of excitement last night only began to truly peak with Bomb The Music Industry!'s set. When I saw them the previous two times, I had only been a passive fan of their music, but ever since Vacation came out last year, I've gotten much more invested in them. Thankfully for me, their set was just about as perfectly aligned with my tastes as it possibly could have been. They played a whole lot of Vacation material, opening with "Campaign For A Better Next Weekend" and moving right into "Everybody That Loves You," "Everybody That You Love," and the album highlight "Hurricane Waves," which elicited two impassioned stage dives from me. Other highlights included the sped up version of the breezy "Can't Complain," which was transformed into a high energy punk song with distorted guitars, and the pining, emotional slow jam "The Shit That You Hate," which became an impressive singalong lovefest. They only played a few tracks that weren't on Vacation, but the songs that they chose were among their best. "Side Projects Are Never Successful" sounded as much like an apocalyptic party as it possibly could, and their penultimate song "25" served as a great lead in to their very last, the Vacation closer "Felt Just Like Vacation." Throughout their entire set, I couldn't help but feel that this band (especially Jeff Rosenstock) was at their creative peak, despite having been around for nearly a decade. Plus, the abundance of beach balls everywhere was a fitting touch.
Although Bomb The Music Industry!'s set last night vastly outshone their previous performances that I've seen, Titus Andronicus' headlining set did not. That certainly doesn't mean it wasn't great though; it's just that the July 2010 show still stands as one of my top two or three favorite shows ever. Titus Andronicus took the opportunity afforded to them by this show to perform a lot of new material, much of which will probably appear on their currently untitled third full length album, supposedly due out at the beginning of next year or the end of this year. The new material was a little hard to get into, but from what I could tell, the studio versions will probably sound great. Among the new songs played were a lengthy jam called "Ecce Homo" and an even lengthier, multi-part epic called "My Eating Disorder."
In between new songs, Titus Andronicus played some great older material as well. Working with a more streamlined punk rock lineup, featuring only three guitars, bass, and drums, the band cut away the instrumental fat from some of their tracks from The Monitor and did justice to the noisy and aggressive material on The Airing Of Grievances, their 2008 debut. Early on in the set, they played the vintage Airing Of Grievances track "Upon Viewing Breughel's Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus," which appropriately led into their new non-album single "Upon Viewing Oregon's Landscape With The Flood Of Detritus." On "Titus Andronicus," Patrick Stickles busted out a harmonica and began wailing on it in between verses, and eventually passed me the mic as I crowdsurfed during the "your life is over" breakdown part. Ironically, I don't think I had ever felt more alive. Patrick seemed a little worn out at points, but he and the other band members demonstrated impressive resilience during the lengthy The Monitor battle hymns "A More Perfect Union," "No Future Part Three: Escape From No Future," and the closer "Four Score And Seven." By the time they began their last song, only a fraction of the crowd that was there at the beginning remained, but those of us who were still standing managed to give it our all, singing along with gusto and finally reveling in one last high-energy push in "Four Score And Seven's" final half.
With some unfamiliar material and poor sound mixing, it wasn't a perfect set, but perfection wasn't what I wanted. What this show left me was an idea — an idea that being part of something even as seemingly temporary or superficial as a punk rock show is just as real and important as anything else. Titus Andronicus could have played anything last night and I probably would have liked it, but I really did need this to happen. Forget September 2011. Forget my ex-girlfriend. Last night was the first time I've been truly happy in what feels like a lifetime. My life isn't over yet, but if it had to end right now, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing.

The why and how of sutta study
'Others will be cruel; we shall not be cruel here': effacement should be practiced thus
'Others will kill living beings; we shall abstain from killing living beings here': effacement shall be practiced thus.
'Others will take what is not given; we shall abstain from taking what is not given here': effacement should be practiced thus.
I have fallen in love with suttas — in particular, with the Pali canon. It's not that easy to explain. After all, the Pali canon, especially compared to, for instance, the Bible, seems vast and trackless. It's hard to figure out where to start with it. And once you do start reading, the first thing you notice is how repetitious it can be. The second thing you notice is that the formulas of deference are, by modern standards, kind of sickening. And the third thing you notice is that the canon is rather dry. There's no underlying plot to pull you along, the way the dramatic story of Jesus' death and resurrection helps pull you through the gospels.
But I find something uplifting and refreshing in the Pali canon which I think is not found anywhere else: contact with the mind of the Buddha. There's no doubt he was an extraordinary teacher. The very fact that the suttas have come down to us demonstrates his ability to reach into the hearts of his followers and transform them as individuals, but also his talent for building a durable social structure to continue his teachings beyond his death.
Reading the suttas makes me feel as if I am a living witness to that first generation of Buddhist life, to the formation of the sangha, to the first weaving of the three-fold cord of Buddha-dhamma-sangha.
What I would like to do on this tumblr is to form a group of students/teachers to explore the suttas and help each other make sense of them. I imagine this book as being something like a book club where members would agree on a sutta to study, each read the sutta, and come together to discuss it.
I hope that others might have the same interest!

I wouldn´t put it past Hamas to kill one of their own, claim it was Israeli revenge and then claim no more reprisals for their despicable acts are appropriate. Remember when the Pali´s gunned down a teenager in Ramadi (I think), filmed it and sent the video world wide. All the presstitutes accepted that it was an Israeli atrocity and the correction was finally issued YEARS later.

This is very interesting........you all know how certain terrorists put bombs on their own children and blew them up don´t you? Well, with this latest information, I have to WONDER whether they did this to their own to make Israel look wrong to the world. It just makes me wonder. Anyone who could put a bomb on their own children could do just about anything.

The penultimate first season episode of The Leftovers takes us back in time three years, to the days leading up to the Sudden Departure. And, although the hour shows us exactly what its title promises — "The Garveys at Their Best" — it also reveals the cracks in the foundation of the family that probably would've broken it up even if the world hadn't been turned upside-down. Shall we rewind?

Suits fans were shocked after the Aug. 13 episode when Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) resigned from Pearson Specter—seconds before Harvey (Gabriel Macht), accompanied by Donna (Sarah Rafferty), was to deliver the news that Jessica (Gina Torres) was firing him. Creator Aaron Korsh says there were many incarnations of that ending: "When the writers first pitched me that he was gonna get fired, I didn't like it.

Last season, the ratings for the Suits TV show dropped quite a bit. Will they continue to fall so that the series is in danger of being cancelled, or is it essentially guaranteed to be renewed for a fifth season (so there will be enough episodes for syndication)? Stay tuned.
Suits revolves around the exploits of superstar attorney Harvey Spector (Gabriel Macht) and his associate and protegé Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams). The show's cast also includes Rick Hoffman, Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty, and Meghan Markle.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Rejoice Suits fans! The smash hit drama has been renewed for season five, USA Network revealed today.
The series, which stars Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht, follows Harvey Specter and Mike Ross at a fictitious New York law firm as they try and keep the fact that Mike is not a Harvard graduated lawyer. The show also stars Gina Torres, Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle and Sarah Rafferty.
USA Network's president Chris McCumber said in a statement:
"Suits continues to fire on all cylinders, delivering provocative storytelling and complex characters that viewers can't get enough of. With some of the best writing on television, and a brilliant ensemble cast, we anticipate a spectacular fifth season for a series that has become a marquee property for USA."

Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) is returning to Pearson Specter on this week's "Suits," but will his homecoming change the dynamic between the prodigal son and his stubborn mentor, Harvey (Gabriel Macht)?
If Variety's exclusive preview of Wednesday's episode is any indication, it appears that the law firm's resident tiger may be capable of changing his stripes after all.
On the Aug. 6 episode, titled "Exposure," Jessica (Gina Torres) and Harvey try to outmaneuver the relentless Sean Cahill (guest star Neal McDonough), as he goes after the firm's files on the Gillis Industries takeover. Meanwhile Louis (Rick Hoffman) struggles to hide the illicit deal he made to win that fight; evidence of which will bury the firm. And Mike acclimates to his new situation, while reeling from some troubling news.
"Suits" airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on USA Network.

Louis (Rick Hoffman) once again made a move that unintentionally hurt Harvey's position in the battle for Gillis Industries. Louis fixed it by tricking Charles Forstman (recurring guest star Eric Roberts) into doing business with him by making him believe he hates Harvey as much as Forstman does—a move that Harvey called brilliant, and rewarded by suggesting they drink scotch from Louis' "You Just Got Litt Up!" mugs.

Things are only going to get more tense on USA's Suits as Mike continues to battle Harvey (and uses Louis in the process—see a sneak peek of this week's episode below). But Harvey has another opponent on the horizon. Justified's Neal McDonough makes his debut on the show in the July 9 episode as SEC bulldog Sean Cahill. He'll face-off with Jessica and Jeff Malone first, but as McDonough tells EW, it'll be high noon with Harvey sooner or later.

Geometric Mechanics and Symmetry
From Finite to Infinite Dimensions
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreClassical mechanics, one of the oldest branches of science, has undergone a long evolution, developing hand in hand with many areas of mathematics, including calculus, differential geometry, and the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras. The modern formulations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, in the coordinate-free language of differential geometry, are elegant and general. They provide a unifying framework for many seemingly disparate physical systems, such asnparticle systems, rigid bodies, fluids and other continua, and electromagnetic and quantum systems.Geometric Mechanics and Symmetry is a friendly and fast-paced introduction to the geometric approach to classical mechanics, suitable for a one- or two- semester course for beginning graduate students or advanced undergraduates. It fills a gap between traditional classical mechanics texts and advanced modern mathematical treatments of the subject. After a summary of the necessary elements of calculus on smooth manifolds and basic Lie group theory, the main body of the text considershow symmetry reduction of Hamilton's principle allows one to derive and analyze the Euler-Poincar--eacute--; equations for dynamics on Lie groups.Additional topics deal with rigid and pseudo-rigid bodies, the heavy top, shallow water waves, geophysical fluid dynamics and computational anatomy. The text ends with a discussion of the semidirect-product Euler-Poincar--eacute--; reduction theorem for ideal fluid dynamics.A variety of examples and figures illustrate the material, while the many exercises, both solved and unsolved, make the book a valuable class text. less

Regarded by some critics as a minor masterpiece, Three Lives was Stein's first published book. In it she tells the stories of three working class women — Anna, a conscientious but rigid serving woman; stories, a worldly-wise and sensitive black girl; and Lena, a gentle but feeble-minded maid.Although these are relatively ordinary women, in Stein's hands their lives and minds take on extraordinary interest. Told in clear, carefully crafted prose, these storeis are not only memorable works in themselves but an excellent entree to Stein's later work.

Help for the technically challenged
While many of us take for granted our ability to zip around the Internet, fly through an online job application and send e-mails with attachments, there are lots of folks in our community who have very little, if any, experience with computers. This creates a huge problem when an employer says, "You have fill out an online application."
If you lack the skills and do not have a technically capable family member or friend willing to fill out your applications for you, you are basically shut out of the majority of job openings. Many jobs require at least a very basic technical ability - even if it is just at a time clock!
I urge people who have no skills or very little skills in computers to get help now! I have listed some sources for free and low cost computer training:
1. The Winchester Workforce Center - The second Thursday of every month (March 10 is next) at 4 p.m., our extremely helpful (and patient) Wade Williams spends time teaching what a mouse is and how to use it as well as what the keyboard does. This class is ideal for those who have never used a computer but have a desire to learn.
2. The Samuels Library in Front Royal - Class meets every Thursday in the Samuels Library computer lab. For more information or to sign up for class please call 540-635-3153 or www.samuelslibrary.net.
3. Shenandoah Valley Literacy Volunteers - Classes are provided in basic computer skills four to six times per year. Classes can accommodate 10 students per session. Classes last for six weeks - software application four weeks. Emphasizes job-specific skills, vocabulary and technology. Please visit www.lvwa.org/programs for more information.
4. Bowman and Handley libraries - The library is offering free computer workshops at Bowman and Handley libraries. Class includes Introduction to the Internet, Basic E-mail, Beginning Word and more. Check the Handley Regional Library website events calendar for changes - www.handleyregional.org. Classes are free and open to the public, but limited to six participants. Get your reservations early by calling the library where the class is offered: Handley Library, 540-662-9041 ext. 19, and Bowman Library, 540-869-9000 ext. 203.
5. Lord Fairfax Community College - Computer Basics for 50+ starts April 15. Please contact the Lord Fairfax Community College Workforce Development office for more information at 540-868-7021
If you know of someone who needs to strengthen computer skills or comfort level, please pass this useful information on.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are flirting with the idea of adding Kevin Love to their roster and the talks are so big that they're, for the time being, eclipsing the fact that LeBron James is back in town.
LeBron being back is directly linked to the Love trade talks though and that's why the Cavaliers are willing to give up so much to get him away from Minnesota. The latest report from Sam Amico out of Fox Sports Ohio is that the Cavaliers and Timberwolves are getting real with their trade talks and something might be happening soon.
One source familiar with Cavs-TWolves talks described them this way: "It's getting real."
— Sam Amico (@SamAmicoFSO) July 22, 2014
This backs up all the rumors we've been hearing recently about the Wolves and Cavaliers having daily talks about a Kevin Love trade and the various offers that have been reported in the recent weeks.
As it turns out, there might be more to the rumors than we thought and that is good news for the Cavaliers as it means landing Love might eventually happen sooner rather than later.

Topics: Marketplace, Public Health, Medicare
Jun 24, 2013
The new report finds that health providers such as massage therapists, chiropractors and athletic trainers often wrote prescriptions -- and Medicare paid for them.
ABC News: Massage Therapists, Chiropractors Wrote Drug Prescriptions They Shouldn't Have—And Medicare Paid
In 2009, massage therapists, athletic trainers, chiropractors and other professionals wrote hundreds of thousands of drug prescriptions without the authority to do so. In some cases these were controlled substances like oxycodone, but Medicare Part D, which covers prescription drugs, paid for them anyway. A report by the Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general outlines how, in 2009, Medicare's prescription-drug benefit paid for prescriptions written by health and health-related professionals who did not have the authority to write them under Medicare's rules (Good, 6/21).
The Associated Press: Wiser Medication Use Could Cut Health Costs
If doctors and patients used prescription drugs more wisely, they could save the U.S. health care system at least $213 billion a year, by reducing medication overuse, underuse and other flaws in care that cause complications and longer, more-expensive treatments, researchers conclude. The new findings by the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics improve on numerous prior efforts to quantify the dollars wasted on health care (6/23).
At the same time, genomic medicine was a subject of interest on Capitol Hill last week --
CQ HealthBeat: NIH Leaders Tutor Hill Aides On Promise Of Genomic Medicine As New NIH Cuts Loom
National Institutes of Health leaders marked the tenth anniversary of the completion of the Human Genome Project this week by walking Hill aides through the rapid progress U.S. scientists have made in genomic science and medicine. As almost any NIH presentation on Capitol Hill is wont to be these days, the briefing in part was an understated case for keeping federal funds flowing into the medical research agency. NIH lost $1.5 billion this year, and faces a new round of deep cuts in the fiscal year that starts in October (Reichard, 6/21).

Skip the Line: Extended Vatican Museums & Bramante Staircase Tour in Rome
See the fabulous art in the Vatican Museums
This unique, small group Skip the Line: Extended Vatican Museums & Bramante Staircase Tour in Rome covers sights not usually open to the public including the fascinating Bramante Staircase!
In 4.5 hours, you'll get a more rounded view of the Vatican Museums – seeing works by Raphael, Da Vinci and Caravaggio in the little-visited Pinacoteca Art Gallery, as well as the must-see Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica.
Please note: On Wednesdays it may not be possible to visit St. Peter's Basilica and Square after the morning tour due to the Papal Audience.
This tour is perfect for art-lovers and visitors with an interest in seeing a little more of what the Vatican Museums have to offer. With the "Skip the Line Access" you won't have to waste your precious time, and small group sizes of 20 people or less mean that your visit will be intimate, your passage around the museums seamless, and your guide easy to interact with.
Cancellation Policy:
There are no refunds. All sales are final.
Change Fee Policy: If changes are allowed on a tour or activity, a $20.00 per reservation change fee will be applied for any change to a reservation. Please note that some tours and activities do not allow any changes. Date changes can be made only if we can confirm availability on the new date. While we cannot guarantee any changes can be made, all change requests must be submitted a minimum of 24 hours prior to the tour departure and must be handled on an individual basis through our Reservations Center.
PLEASE NOTE: At present, any purchases made within the Vatican must be in cash. Until further notice, credit card payments are not available for purchases at the Vatican.
The Tour
The Vatican Museums are home to over nine miles of art, much of which is never seen by the general public, either for timing or access reasons. Delve deeper into the Vatican Museums than ever before with this Extended Vatican Tour that takes you where the public can't usually go and visits more general access areas of the museums than a classic Vatican tour.
This special access Skip the Line tour crosses velvet ropes to gain rare access to the famous Bramante Staircase, a dizzying spiral of carved stone built in 1512 inside a square tower. It once bore the weight of horses, but few ever set foot on it these days, making this visit particularly special.
A sure highlight of the tour will be the beautiful paintings of the Vatican Pinacoteca painting gallery, including Raphael's "Transfiguration," Caravaggio's "Deposition from the Cross" and Leonardo Da Vinci's unfinished "St. Jerome in the Wilderness."
On top of that you'll visit all the general access rooms covered in the basic Vatican Museums tour, from the Pinecone Courtyard to the Gallery of Tapestries, the Gallery of the Maps, the Gallery of the Candelabra and a highlight of any tour – the Raphael Rooms.
Of course your tour also includes the Vatican Museums' most famous room, a room whose threshold has a higher footfall than the museums themselves because so many visitors come twice. Over the course of your tour, your guide will have described the works in here, explaining with the aid of photos and drawings, what each section means so that when you arrive here – at the Sistine Chapel – you'll have time to yourself to take it all in.
The last stop on this extended tour takes you through a special door in the Sistine Chapel and past another long queue to gain access to St. Peter's Basilica. Every day but Wednesday (when the Papal Audience often means that the Basilica is closed) you'll have a guided tour inside this colossal building – one of the most important in all of Christianity and home to Michelangelo's famous sculpture, "La Pieta."

The Barbizon Hotel for Women, now known as Barbizon 63, was symbolic of the cultural change as women began to come to New York City for professional opportunities, but still wanted a "safe retreat" that felt like the family home.[2] It is located at 140 East 63rd Street, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City, New York State, USA.
It was built in 1927 incorporating a blend of Italian Renaissance, Late Gothic Revival, and Islamic decorative elements. It is a 23-story steel frame building encased in concrete and faced in salmon-colored brick with limestone and terra cotta decorative elements.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
For most of its existence, it operated as a residential hotel for women, with no men allowed above the ground floor, and strict dress and conduct rules were enforced. The hotel became a more standard hotel when it began admitting men as guests in 1981.[4] In 2002, a $40 million renovation was completed and the name was changed to The Melrose Hotel. In 2005 the hotel closed and the building was gutted and rebuilt for condominium use and renamed Barbizon 63.
Even after the condo renovation, there are still 13 women living under the old arrangements at the hotel due to rent control.
The building includes a large indoor pool which is today part of an Equinox Fitness club, and air rights to adjacent properties were purchased when the building was constructed, ensuring plenty of light and unimpeded views for the upper floors.

States and localities vary on the extent to which they comply with the law and spirit of operating statewide LTC ombudsman program. Similarly, states are affected in different ways and to different degrees by a range of factors that have an impact on compliance. Generally, factors that influence states' levels of compliance fall into three groups: leadership within the organizational framework, elements of infrastructure, and institutional care context.
During the developmental stage of the LTC ombudsman programs, AoA supported model grants to explore methods for promoting and developing ombudsman services. As states began to set up ombudsman programs, regional and central AoA staff provided other support. For example, in 1976 AoA issued program instructions that helped clarify the program's intent. In 1981 AoA funded five resource centers; these, along with national groups such as the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) and the National Citizens' Coalition for Nursing Home Reform (NCCNHR), further assisted states in developing their ombudsman programs. Additionally, in the early 1980s, states received a series of 22 technical assistance materials from AoA on various aspects of ombudsman program development, including such items as roles and functions of volunteers, and sample job descriptions. However, during the last half of the 1980s, AoA provided little oversight and technical assistance to the states on the implementation of the ombudsman program, and most of that effort took the form of monitoring by regional offices. Since 1988, AoA has continuously supported a single national resource center for the LTC ombudsman program with a mission of training, technical assistance, and information dissemination.3
The committee found that state and local ombudsmen were willing to acknowledge openly the weaknesses of their programs. At the same time, they expressed confidence that the program is making positive changes in the lives

JingleJumble Makes Old Game New
Happy Holidays everyone. Christmas, Chanukah and Kwanzaa are just around the corner and no doubt the kids in your family are buzzed to the extreme.
Although it has a decidedly Christmas theme, LaunchKidz's JingleJumble will likely appeal to every kid under the age of 10 or thereabouts.
JingleJumble is an electronic take on the old mix-and-match game we used to play back in the days when we all trudged through the snow to school, up hill both ways.
Remember? Slide three strips of glossy paper back and forth to put a woman's legs on a fat man's body and pumpkin for a head. You know, wild and crazy stuff that kept us occupied for hours, despite it's simplicity.
JingleJumble does the same thing except it mixes and matches parts of Santa, elves, reindeer, Mrs. Claus and other characters in a variety of outfits.
There's also an arcade version of JingleJumble where the kiddies must match up body parts within a set amount of time.
The graphics are nicely rendered and the sound effects, which can be controlled, are infectious.
It's free. Get it while you can and hope it keeps the little ones occupied until the big day arrives.

Marie and Francis first meet Nicolas at a dinner party, where there both feign disinterest in him. Over the course of the next couple of the weeks, the three form a close friendship, meeting up regularly and even sleeping together in the same bed. However, it is clear that both Marie and Francis have an interest in Nicolas beyond friendship; Marie is visibly disappointed when she hopes to enjoy an intimate meal with Nicolas at a Vietnamese restaurant, only to see Francis and his friends there, and Francis is consumed by lust for Nicolas to the extent that he vigorously masturbates over the smell of Nicolas' clothes when left alone in his apartment. Both are led on by their interpretation of Nicolas' actions, such as eating a cherry from Francis' hand and telling Marie he loves them. Their feelings lead to competition between the two friends for Nicolas' affections, evidenced by their rivalry over the gifts they buy for his birthday.

Pawan Kalyan to campaign for BJP, TDP in Andhra Pradesh
Leading Telugu film actor Pawan Kalyan Wednesday announced that he would campaign only for NDA candidates in Telangana and Seemandhra.
He gave the assurance when Telugu Desam Pary (TDP) president N. Chandrababu Naidu called on him and requested him to campaign for the party.
Naidu met the actor a day after they both shared dais with Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi at a massive public meeting here.
Pawan, who floated political party Jana Sena last month and declared support to Modi, told reporters that his party is not contesting polls this time to avoid division of anti-Congress and anti-TRS votes.
TDP, which returned to the NDA after 10 years, is contesting the Andhra Pradesh assembly and Lok Sabha elections in alliance with the BJP.
Pawan said though he respects Loksatta president Jayaprakash Narayan, who too have declared his support to Modi, he would campaign only for NDA candidates in the larger interest of the alliance.
The actor had earlier decided to campaign for Jayaprakash Narayan, who is contesting from Malkajgiri Lok Sabha constituency in Hyderabad. Naidu was reportedly unhappy over this as TDP has fielded its candidate from the constituency.
Pawan, who is younger brother of superstar and Congress leader Chiranjeevi, said he would coordinate with the BJP and TDP on the campaigning in both the states.
The actor Tuesday shared dais with Modi at Nizamabad and later addressed the meeting in Hyderabad in the company of both the BJP leader and Chandrababu Naidu.
Naidu told reporters that they will have to work together to make Modi the prime minister.
"My thinking, Modi's thinking and Pawan Kalyan's thinking is same. We all want to do good for the people. There is a need for strong leadership and stable government at the centre," he said.
The former chief minister said there was a Modi wave sweeping across the country.
"Modi-TDP is the best combination. Pawan has also joined us and he also wants to do something for the society," he said.

I get it, it's nice up here. You could just shut down all the systems, turn down all the lights, just close your eyes and tune out everyone. There's nobody up here that can hurt you. It's safe. What's the point of going on? What's the point of living? Your kid died, it doesn't get any rougher than that. It's still a matter of what you do now. If you decide to go then you just gotta get on with it. Sit back, enjoy the ride, you gotta plant both your feet on the ground and start living life. Hey, Ryan, it's time to go home.

Link: The World Is Flat, Again
I'LL never forget my first globe. It was a basketball-size sphere with textured mountains and shining cerulean seas, but its crowning inner glory was a light bulb. Suspended in the darkness of my bedroom for most of the nights of my childhood, it served first as a night light unto my world. But night after night and year after year, it showed me the makings of things like nights and years and a permanently marvelous truth: We live on a sphere, turning in the light of a star.
I plotted many things on that globe, including my career as a pilot. I have two globes today (a light-up model and a mind-wringing Japanese jigsaw sphere). But while stylized images of globes still appear occasionally on Web sites, newscasts and logos, actual globes are increasingly rare. When did you last see a globe in an office, or a living room? American schools, too, have seen a decline. Officials for major school systems — including Chicago and Seattle — report that most classrooms no longer have them. The last globe you saw was probably in a child's bedroom — a high-minded toy.
Not that they haven't had a good run. The first globes were "celestial" models of the heavens — what Atlas shoulders (it's the sky, after all, that seems round). The first "terrestrial" globe was made around 150 B.C. (by Crates of Mallus, in case you're ever in a barroom brawl over what the Stoic grammarians ever did for us). The oldest Earth globethat survives today is from 1492. It was spectacularly ill timed, though a colorful cast of saints, mermen and Sciapods make up for the absent Americas.
Just across the Columbian divide is the Hunt-Lenox globe, circa 1510, which features portions of the Americas, and the weighty term "New World." The globe also bears cartography's only known deployment of "here be dragons" (in Southeast Asia). Elizabethans, in particular, loved globes — "the whole earth, a present for a prince," was Queen Elizabeth's awe-struck response to a gift of a globe — and then there is the name ofa certain theater. In "The Comedy of Errors," Dromio rudely maps the portly kitchen wench: England on the chin, France on the forehead, and just you guess about the Netherlands.
Such glorious history makes the decline of globes only more perplexing. Perhaps no four-billion-year-old design can escape the occasional hiccup in brand maintenance. But there are more likely culprits. As reference tools, home globes can't compete with detailed, up-to-date online resources (though note the Wikipedia logo, an incomplete globe). The decline of globes in schools, according to Robert Chisholm, program director for history and social studies in Boston's public schools, is also because of the squeeze of standardized math and English testing on subjects like geography.
It is the absence of globes in most professional environments, though, that reveals the most about us. Don Draper of "Mad Men" has an office globe. But none of the dozen or so executives I contacted could remember when they last saw one. The more global their work, the more they found the idea of a globe unappealing. Globalization is the alleged triumph of travel, trade and connectivity over the planet's bricks-and-mortar (or rocks-and-water) limitations. It's a measure of globalization's success — and hubris, perhaps — that its original icon appears literal and unsophisticated.
What's lost when we lose sight of globes? An accurate sense of home, to start. The view of a Roman street on Google Maps is wonderful — but only after a globe has shown you Italy. And no online or paper map has yet succeeded in stretching a round planet onto a flat surface. Choose your complicated failure: Mercator? Sinusoidal equal area? Equidistant conic? Only a globe is both simple and right — simple because it's right.

For some high school sports like baseball and softball, the road to postseason glory begins this week. For other sports such as lacrosse, the action continues with teams setting their sights on reaching the finals, set for next weekend at Rhode Island College.
With the exception of softball, all of the brackets have been released. In an exercise geared toward setting the record straight, we present a brief overview of what's in store for the local teams fortunate enough to still be competing in meaningful games at this time of year.
PAWTUCKET — A day earlier, Devan Dube and Ben Degrange earned a point without having to set a single foot on the courts at Slater Park. Less than 24 hours later under humid conditions, the No. 3 doubles team for North Smithfield found themselves in a position where the fate of the Division III championship rested on their slender shoulders.
Oh, the drama.
WARWICK — Dan Rhault knows that in order for a high school baseball talent to get noticed, one has to venture to where college coaches and recruiters gather.
The belief that if you're good, "they" will seek you out no longer applies. Recruiting has become such a cutthroat business that if you snooze, you lose, and if you snooze some more, you just might see your baseball career end at the high school level.
"We're going to them," Rhault, a Lincoln native, said matter-of-factly.
WEST CHESTER, Pa. — It's been quite the debut for Jad Prachniak, West Chester University's new baseball skipper.
Thanks to the tutelage of the former Lincoln resident, the Golden Rams closed their regular season with a stellar 42-10 slate, captured the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference championship and qualified for the NCAA Division II World Series after winning four straight games in the NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional Tournament.
WOONSOCKET — In a rare Sunday session, the City Council voted 5-2 last night to ask the state bring in a budget commission to take over the city's finances.
Pro-commission councilors blamed lawmakers for forcing their hand by failing to okay the city's request for a 13 percent supplemental tax bill last week.
Woonsocket police officers, from left, Andrew Broccoli, Jeffrey Gagnon, Justin Mowry, Sean Rochette and Mitchell Voyer, are sworn-in as police officers during a ceremony at police headquarters Friday. The five new officers graduated from the Rhode Island Police Academy earlier in the day.
BURRILLVILLE — The town is getting ready to begin a revaluation of all properties within the community.
The state-mandated 2012 revaluation project kicks off within the next few weeks when inspectors from Certified Revaluation Company, Inc. (CRC) — which the Town Council has contracted with — fan out throughout the town with property record cards and aerial maps. The inspectors will visit every type of property, from residential to commercial to industrial.
WOONSOCKET – The Woonsocket Teachers Guild has issued a statement criticizing State Rep. Lisa Baldelli-Hunt's handling of the supplemental tax increase issue.
The teachers union described Baldelli-Hunt's "waffling position" on the tax increase as resulting in the measure being sent back to committee.
The statement issued by the Guild maintained that while "there has been much debate over whether this supplemental tax increase is the best solution for Woonsocket, right now the schools have no other current alternative to fund operations."
WOONSOCKET – Citing continued erosion of the school department's finances, Moody's Investor Service downgraded the city's bond rating from Ba2 to B2 Thursday, three notches deeper into junk territory.
Moody's said the city remains on watch for further downgrades. Meanwhile, Fitch Ratings, which already pegs the city's bond rating at a junk-level BB-, is scheduled to reevaluate the assessment next week and could follow Moody's lead, said Finance Director Thomas M. Bruce III.
WOONSOCKET – After an eleventh-hour parliamentary maneuver in the House killed his supplementary tax plan, Mayor Leo T. Fontaine said it's inevitable that a state budget commission will take over the city's finances, injecting more uncertainty than ever into the city's financial picture.

Look at bill gates and the amount of money he has donated... I bet Steve has only donated pennies compared to billy.
I dunno why this has turned into arguing why Apple has or has not donated money. If people refuse to donate just because some wealthy people might not then I feel sorry for you if that's how you base your decisions on a topic.
The "why should I give my money if Mr. Billionaire isn't" mentality is a sad state to be in
Japan has helped the US many many times when natural disasters hit us hard. If you are too stupid to do a little research rather than running your mouth that they didn't help. Japan has always helped and always found way to do so. Yes they didn't send man power to the US, but look who's military, navy, air force is larger? Don't base you idiotic thoughts without thinking. Japan has gotten hit twice as hard with this Tsunami. A city was almost completely wiped out and thousands dead. Now if you don't feel like your money shouldn't go to help, then don't post stupid thoughts. Keep it to yourself. Apply is doing good deed and I am 100% sure they will help sooner or later. When people make donations, no one tries to post it, a little looking around helps. I do agree that Red Cross is taking away from the money they get, but hey, they have to pay people to help. Not to mention, NOTHING is FREE in the USA. I don't think you understand how donations work. Not always your money goes as money to another country in need. You money is used to purchase food, clothes, shelters. I'm not rich, but my few dollars will pile up in the bucket and does good.
Picture yourself as a politician, faced with the situation we are facing today. Many of you claim you would do the right thing.
There is just one problem with that.
There is no right way.
You have two options: cut programs and save money.
Raise taxes.
As an American which do you like better. The correct answer is neither.
No politician could possibly hope to clean this up (even a president) if they want to be reelected.
The wise politician, who wants to keep his popularity and votes up, will keep programs and lower taxes.
In a $10-30 bil debt, no one really cares if an extra 100,000,000 I'd added on. And no one notices either.
But the real reason, the simple one, is that politicians think this problem is beyond their years.
You know... I'm ashamed to be an American sometimes.
The amount of ignorance, and apathy, that rules our citizenry is disgusting. We have become so judgemental, that even efforts to collect donations are seen as selfish.
We have many problems here, yes, but what has occurrd in Japan, is many times more devastating than Katrina was. Japan helped us.
More people have/will die, than 9/11.
Japan helped us.
We got "support" from all over the world, a flood of money came crashing into the gulf-coast, and NYC. It was poor management after Katrina, that caused the money to be wasted, rather than effective.
You cannot blame the other countries that offer help, when our government is the one who dropped the ball. Bush's "FEMA" failed horribly, and that waste continues today. There were "skimmer" ships offered, during the oil-spill, but Obama (in all his insufferable arrogance) said we didn't need them!
It's not a question of "who helped who?" It's a question of "who needs help now?"
Japan needs help, their people need help, they are worth saving! Any effort to help is a good one, any honest attempt to collect donations, is a good one. Stop judging those who don't/didn't donate, and lead by example... Even $5, from every iTunes customer would add up to tremendous assistance! That's only 4 songs, or 2 music videos, or maybe a sale movie. I think we can all spare $5.

The whole point of charity is that we all give something to contribute to the cause as a whole. People at the bottom of the food chain at red cross will get paid nothing while the people at the top will get several hundred thousand dollars. Google their salaries, you'll see.
The only people who aren't giving are those who are profiting from generous donations.
Fair enough they should be paid for their expertise but there's a difference between $1500 a month and $15,000+.
I have always refused to support big charities and only donate to smaller local ones simply because they aren't making themselves rich from peoples donations.
Lets face it, charities is a real big money earner and easy money for the people who own it. It makes the rich richer and poor poorer.
Wow thats the best comment u can think of with everything that has happen over there. That is too bad the tsunami couldnt reach ur house. Would do all of us a favor of getting rid of idiots like u and glassjaw.
I don't know if Apple has donated and frankly I don't care. This isn't about Apple. This is about helping the people of Japan in any way that we can.
Despite all the "assistance" we've given to the world we are still the most hated country on the face of the Earth.
We have an over-bloated government, which our people can no longer support. We went from an operating budget of 1.86 trillion, eleven years ago, to over 3 trillion today... And they can't agree on 60 billion?!?
The deficit is not
It is
That's just what we ADDED to the total debt in one year! ONE YEAR!
The national debt is around 13.6 trillion. I can't give an absolute number, because the interest is around $75 million an hour.
The 2010 GDP (estimate in January) was 13.25 trillion, which is 350 billion less than the debt. We now owe more than we are worth, and unless drastic changes are made now, we will find ourselves in another great depression. The need to protect our livelihood outweighs the need to have bike-paths!

Also, when you want to do something altruistic, you just go ahead and do it, and not wait to see if others are doing it or not. Certainly, you don't ask, why do I have to help when that big bad corporation isn't helping. If you do that, it makes your altruistic act altogether selfish.
And I never said I wouldn't donate......I just won't do it through Apple.

|Dylan Larkin
|Age: 17
|Position: Center
|Height: 6'0″
|Weight: 190lbs
|Junior Team: (USHL) US National Team Development Program
|Stats: 60 GP / 31 G / 25 A / 56 P / 56 PIM
The 2014 NHL Entry Level Draft begins on June 27th and ends on June 28th this year and the Detroit Red Wings own the fifteenth pick in the draft.
Dylan Larkin is ranked 17th among North American players by Central Scouting and 15th by International Scouting.
Larkin is a Michigan native out of Waterford and would add to the list of local players to join the Detroit Red Wings organization.
He has committed to play for The University of Michigan next season and if the Red Wings end up drafting him, then he is at least three years away from joining the team.
Danny DeKeyser, Gustav Nyquist, Justin Abdelkader, Drew Miller, Jimmy Howard, Luke Glendening, and Brendan Smith all played in the NCAA and are now with the Detroit Red Wings.
Going to the NCAA will give Larkin a few years to develop his game. Michigan has a great hockey program and head coach in Red Berenson, who will make sure Larkin is ready to take the next step to a professional career.
"He's a throwback – he gets the puck and goes with it," head coach Red Berenson said. "He can make things happen, but the thing I like is he competes hard, and he's like [sophomore] JT Compher – you notice him every shift.
Dylan Larkin's breakdown:
NHL Comparable:
Why He Interests The Red Wings:
|Dylans Larkin would give the Detroit Red Wings a smart playmaking center, who has the potential to be a number two center on a playoff team or a very good number three that could move up in case of an emergency.
Career Potential:
|A second or third line center, who is going to tally more assists than goals, but who has a nice shot to compliment his passing abilities.
