I'll let Rich explain: "I had a party at my house once in college, and one of our roommates who was going to be gone was really scared that someone was going to sleep in his bed. so, instead of, you know, telling us not to use his room, he decided to post this hilarious note that only an aspiring personal injury lawyer could produce."

Sara is one of seven students sharing an apartment in Venice. After three months of living together, she says, it became clear that one of the flatmates had to go: he had nasty habits like, um, pleasuring himself in his in other people's bedrooms while they were out.
"We gently told him we thought it was better for everybody if he looked for another house," Sara says, but he didn't take the hint. So one of the other roommates decided to leave him this note:
Roughly translated from the Italian, it reads: "It's time you leave."

About Nevada Agricultural Statistics
Nevada Agricultural Statistics located in Reno, Nevada is
the Nevada field office of USDA's National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS). NASS is the official statistical
agency of the United States Department of Agriculture with
the mission to serve the United States, its agriculture,
and its rural communities by providing meaningful, accurate,
and objective statistical information and services. Nevada
Agricultural Statistics operates with assistance and cooperation
from the Nevada Department of Agriculture and the College
of Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Biotechnology of University
of Nevada.
About Nevada Agriculture
Agriculture often goes largely unnoticed behind the glare
of casinos and tourist attractions in Nevada, and most of
it cannot be seen from the interstate highways. Farming and
ranching, however, provide a cornerstone to the economies
of many of Nevada's rural communities and greatly enhance
the aesthetics of life near the urban areas. Farming is concentrated
in valleys where water is available for irrigation, while
vast rangelands and mountains provide grazing for livestock.
Range livestock production is predominate in Nevada with
well over half of the farms raising cattle or sheep. The
highest concentrations of cattle are in the northern part
of the State. Cow-calf operations are most common type of
operation and Elko county ranks among the leading counties
in the Nation in number of beef cows. Northern Nevada is
also home to the vast majority of the sheep.
Dairying is a growing industry in the State, as is the manufacture
of dairy products. The dairies are concentrated in the vicinity
of the large market centers of Las Vegas and Reno. Horses
are big business in Nevada, both for work and pleasure. Swine
production is limited and most producers market locally.
Other livestock enterprises, including goats, emu, and llama,
are becoming more common.
Nevada's high desert climate is very well suited to
the production of high quality alfalfa hay and alfalfa hay
accounts for over half of the total value of crops produced
in the State. Much of the alfalfa is marketed to dairies
in California and a significant quantity is exported overseas.
A variety of other high value crops are gaining in importance
to Nevada agriculture. Potatoes, onions, garlic, grain, and
seed crops contribute greatly to the total value of production.
Across Nevada lie valleys rich in agricultural resources:
most unseen from the interstate highways.

Bows & Arrows.
Go ahead, darling, show your ponies
I know that your dark horse will canter.
I may draw the curtains close
But I will certainly be waiting.
I will put the Earl Grey on,
Lace it with some honey.
With you sitting at my pantry.
You will play the duchess
And I will play the king,
Although all of my powers are
Stolen by the neighboring kingdom.
Regardless, you wanted to soothe me
Then led me out to the firing range.
But the targets got disheveled
And you marched on to bows and arrows.
Isn't it all just darling
What could possibly be wrong
When there are picnic blankets strewn about
And the hummingbirds sweet song?

We introduce a method for organizing multivariate displays and for guiding interactive exploration through high-dimensional data. The method is based on nine characterizations of the 2D distributions of orthogonal pairwise projections on a set of points in multidimensional Euclidean space. These characterizations include such measures as density, skewness, shape, outliers, and texture. Statistical analysis of these measures leads to ways for 1) organizing 2D scatterplots of points for coherent viewing, 2) locating unusual (outlying) marginal 2D distributions of points for anomaly detection and 3) sorting multivariate displays based on high-dimensional data, such as trees, parallel coordinates, and glyphs

Happy Friday!
I don't know about you, but I am READY for the weekend! It has been another busy week working around the new apartment. We finally have almost everything put away. This weekend I am having a big porch sale to sell off some of the furniture and accessories that will no longer fit in my new place.
Today, I wanted to share a few before photos of the new digs. Like I said, when I first looked at it, it was pretty rough. Now it is definitely starting to feel like home.
Are you ready?
Now for a sneak peak of one of the changes…can you tell which room got a fresh coat of Navy?
Stay tuned for more progress photos next week…
Have a nice weekend, do you have any plans?

House votes against allowing school bus ads
HB199 • Utah school buses might stay advertisement-free for the time being.
The House voted 44-27 Monday against HB199, which would have allowed school districts to sell advertising space on the exteriors of school buses.
Rep. Jim Bird, R-West Jordan, had hoped to pass the bill as a way to help raise additional money for school districts. The Legislature's fiscal analyst estimated that school-bus ads could produce as much as $3.3 million a year for schools ($750 to $1,500 per bus annually).
The bill would have required the advertising to be "age appropriate," prohibiting ads containing sexual and political material as well as ads promoting illegal substances and activities for minors such as alcohol, tobacco, drugs and gambling.
But many representatives said Monday they worried about whether the ads would cause safety problems, distracting drivers around school buses.
"I don't think that we should ever sacrifice safety or the chance of safety for revenue or financial gain," said Rep. Don Ipson, R-St. George.
This is the second year Bird has run a bill seeking to allow ads on school buses, which some states already allow.

Easy DIY: Choosing the Right Outdoor Paver for Your DIY Patio Project
By Travertine Mart on Feb 10, 2014
Are you toiling with the idea of building your patio floor all by yourself? Here is a guide to help you choose the right outdoor paver for your patio project.
Adding a patio is a great way to expand your living and entertaining space along with a boost to the value of your property. The essence of a great patio is in its floor that can be built over a few weekends. But, unless you are a pro, a DIY patio project can be quite intimidating especially if you are stuck with the wrong kind of paver. It can create a hole in your pocket and very quickly your budget can skyrocket. To avoid finding yourself in the midst of such a situation, consider how you plan to use the patio and choose a fitting material that complements your home.
Let's look at four commonly used pavers for your DIY patio project:
1.Brick Pavers
Brick is an elegant and time-tested material. It is sturdy and will lend an old-world textural charm to your patio floor. Although bricks are rectangular in shape, there is an endless array of patterns that can be created according to your design aesthetics. A brick floor is fairly easy to install though replacing it may be a tough job.
Brick pavers are treated at a higher temperature than construction grade bricks to make them less porous and therefore resistant to erosion. Although brick pavers can be cost effective, they tend to chip and crack over time. Depending on the quality of the subfloor, individual bricks can sink or heave making the surface dangerous for the elderly, kids and pets.
2.Pre–Cast Concrete Pavers
Concrete is your answer if you are looking for a cheap but durable option for your patio floor. Pre-cast concrete slabs are made by casting concrete into molds to form individual slabs. These are available in a range of colors, finishes and style. The drawback with concrete is that it needs a lot of attention and maintenance. Concrete floors need to be washed frequently and sealed at regular intervals to avoid the colors from fading. Also, concrete tends to get pretty hot on exposure to the sun.
Concrete will expand and contract with the changing weather. Therefore some bit of professional help is required in laying a concrete floor that has appropriate gaps to aid the process.
3.Ceramic & Porcelain Tiles
Outdoor patio tile made with ceramic or porcelain is another good option. Outdoor tiles are different from the ones used indoors. Tiles constructed for use outdoors are made less porous and water resistant and are usually unglazed. When it comes to color, design and texture, there are limitless options that tiles can offer.
The downside to using tiles for your outdoor patio is that they can get very slippery when wet. Also, they will not be able to tolerate extreme cold weather and can crack. The cost of the tile can vary greatly according to the intricacy of the design you pick.
4.Travertine Pavers
Travertine is a favorite with landscapers for its versatility, durability and low maintenance. It is a stone that is often confused with marble due to its beautiful texture and natural grain. Travertine is a hard wearing material which makes it an ideal choice for patios. Due to its natural structure and density the stone can withstand changes in weather and does not crack easily. Unlike concrete, travertine stone remains cool even during the harshest summer months. Tumbled travertine is a porous natural stone that repels water and is therefore skid resistant which makes it an easy surface to walk on.
Travertine is quarried in different parts of the world including Italy, Turkey, Mexico and Peru. Depending on the concentration of the minerals, travertine can be found in a multitude of colors. Travertine will add a natural warmth to your patio and will not fade over time.
Laying a travertine floor is easy and because of its inherent natural properties, it does not require to be sealed. The cost of Turkish travertine is also comparable to that of brick pavers.
Choosing the right pavers for your patio project can make a huge impact on your backyard's look and feel, choose wisely!blog comments powered by Disqus

I have slightly oily eyelids and haven't been able to use the common eyeliner kohl pencils because they easily smudge into my eyelid crease and under my eye as well. (have same problem with most mascaras - mainly stick with Trish McEvoy's curling lash mascara because it forms a tube effect around the lashes and adheres to very well with smudging). I digress. So back to the gel eyeliner. Stays on very well, great color choices and with practice have managed to apply straight lines with the right brushes. Also, sometimes I use Bobbi Brown's complimentary eyeshadow shades on top of the eyeliner for greater staying power and to create an even more dramatic look. Have in black, violet and black plum.

This eyeliner deserves all the praise it's been getting on here. I had never tried a gel liner before, but was looking for something that would stay PUT on my waterline. This really does, finally! I had tried so many liquids and waxy pencils, mainly on the recommendations of others who had achieved that beautiful kohl-rimmed eye look. Unfortunately, their eyeliners didn't work for me. I am so ecstatic that this one does!!!! It seems a little dry, so maybe mine's older or maybe it's just that I've never seen / used a gel liner before and have no idea what 'normal' is! Regardless, it goes on easily and precisely but just takes some effort to load the brush. It didn't smudge from my waterline all day and all night and gave me that sexy exotic look I was aiming for. I'm smitten...

A great gel liner--lasts, creamy, no flaking, no smudging, etc. But this is a very inky black as the name says. Too harsh for me so I handed it off to my daughters who love it.

Several years of using this eye gel and having several colors of it make me, not an expert but a good observer.
I had not done any reviews of these gels since I have the black, sepia, espereso, black mauve, sapphire, granite and black plum.. lol, I should be a cyclops with so many eyes but this is for my business. I have used all the aforementioned colors for lining, smudging and waterlining. I have found it to be safe for waterline with no observable side effects. I usually use a kohl pencil dipped in the gel to waterline -- I do not use a brush since I find that brushes can tickle and irritate.
All the colors are blendable, smudgeable and yes very waterproof.
As long as BB makes em, I will continue to buy em!

Absolutely outstanding. I am a total cheapskate, but this product is worth every penny of its price (which is expensive). But I will never use anything else. The best part is that I line my waterline, a.k.a. the inner rim of my eyes and this eyeliner stays there practically all day which has NEVER happened before with any other liner. The second best part is that it removes much more easily than Kohl liners with just a little jojoba oil on a q-tip. I am in love! So so so good!

Talk about being late to the party! Can't believe I haven't tried this til now. I love this - it creates such a nice opaque line without feathering or creasing or budging. I like to draw a thin line that thickens towards to the outer corner with a slight flick.
Price was good, coz I got mine in one of those boxing day bargains at John Lewis for �30 or �35, which included:
- gel eyeliner in black ink
- eyeliner brush
- cream eye shadow in galaxy
- travel sized mascara
The packaging - not much you can really do to improve it is there? Maybe if it came in a long flat case so you could store the brush inside it for easy travelling, but it's fine the way it is.

Love love LOVE! This stuff is amazing. The only black liner I've ever used that has staying power, is easily controllable for the drama of the line (thick vs. thin), a true black, and no transfer. I'm not crazy about the price, but I'll gladly shell it out for such a good product. I truly feel that you get what you pay for with it. I tried MAC Blacktrack a few years back when it came out and it definitely can't hold a candle to this one. I hated the Blacktrack. This one is fabulous and lasts forever. As long as you have a decent brush to work with, you will love it as it's very easy to use even for those of us who dont have the steadiest hand :)

I bought this after my MAC Fluidline dried up and is getting very difficult to work with. I must say that I prefer the Bobbi Brown one. I wouldn't say it's a gel liner (even though it's called that), it's more of a cream liner. It's very easy to work with, and it dries to a matte finish which I love. The texture of this liner makes it so simple to draw a perfect line and perfect "wing". When I used the MAC fluidline, I sometimes had to tug on my eye for the liner to go on smoothly...but with the BB liner I can hold my brush with one hand and mirror in the other and my liner looks perfect all the time.

I have worked many different jobs from being a mail clerk, moving man, and cook. I have had a few brushes with death, but so far I am still alive. I grew up in Ct, but in the last few years I have lived in Ohio, Maine, and Utah. I am a die hard Uconn and Patriots fan, but I would not consider myself a sports nut. My major in college was Mathematics and Statistics. People are generally surprised when I tell them that, I guess most people do not find math as interesting as I do.

NEW YORK, November 16, 2005 – Dr. Judith Stein, Professor of History at The City College of New York (CCNY), has been selected as a Fulbright Distinguished Chair for 2005-2006 by the Council for International Exchange of Scholars, which administers the Fulbright Scholar Program.
An expert in African-American and 20th Century U.S. history, she is one of 31 prominent scholars chosen as distinguished chairs, which is the most prestigious category in the Fulbright Scholar Program.
Professor Stein will hold the prestigious Nikolay V. Sivachev Distinguished Chair in American History at Moscow State University from February to July 2006. There she will teach U.S. history since World War II to advanced undergraduate and graduate students. She will also be the resource person for Russian students and scholars in American history.
"This is part of the Distinguished Chair in American History program, whose purpose is to advance knowledge and familiarity of American history in selected countries of the world," she said.
The Sivachev Distinguished Chair was created to increase American-Soviet cultural relations in the wake of the détente between then-President Richard M. Nixon and Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev in the early 1970s. It is named for Nikolay V. Sivachev, who was the Soviet Union's top American scholar at that time.
A Professor in The College's Ph.D. Program in History, Dr. Stein is a graduate of Vassar College (B.A.) and earned her Ph.D. at Yale University. She has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies.
Professor Stein is the author of The World of Marcus Garvey: Race and Class in Modern Society and Running Steel, Running America: Race, Economic Policy, and the Decline of American Liberalism. She is currently working on a book about the 1970s.
A Manhattan resident, she sits on the editorial board of International Labor and Working-Class History, a journal published by Cambridge University Press.
About the Fulbright Scholar Program
Established in 1946 under legislation introduced by the late Sen. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, the program's purpose is to build mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries.
Fulbright Scholars are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement and demonstrated leadership potential in their fields. Among the thousands of prominent Fulbright Scholars are Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman, Pulitzer Prize-winner poet Rita Dove and Craig Barrett, Chief Executive Officer of Intel Corp.
About The City College of New York
For over 158 years, The City College of New York has provided low-cost high-quality education for New Yorkers in a wide variety of disciplines.

Tried the website - looks like it's out of commission?? Is the book still available...Amazon says it ships in 4-6 weeks. Holy Cow!
I ordered this from amazon.com some time ago, they finally sent me an email saying it wasn't available and suggested I try some online used book sellers.On the amazon.com website for the item is this text:"Availability: Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this title will be in stock again."So is there, in fact, anywhere I can get this? My local library system doesn't have a copy. I put in an interlibrary loan form and that eventually came back saying that apparantly no library has a copy to loan. Brian Lewis
Brian, I saw that about a month or so ago. His book was the one connected to my book on my Amazon page (the "if you like this book, get these two together" offer). It just disappeared one day, and hasn't come back. The only thing I can think of, is that publisher quit printing it? I have tried to find his contact info as well, and cannot find anything. It is as if he disappeared off the internet. His book is missed, there are not many newer trail cookbooks for sale (most of the trail cookbooks for sale are 5-20 years old!), and few aim at going light. Our books had a lot in common, and I'd like to see his book back in print!
Thanks, Sarah. That's very gracious of you to say about a competitor!I have your book, and have gone through it multiple times; it's a little like getting the right shoes, though, everyone is unique. I personally don't like a lot of cheese or veggies, so have to load up on the veggies I'm comfortable eating. I want things dead simple, and will likely try to figure out N unique meal types for my PCT attempt, where N won't be a terribly large number, and will likely include some Mountain House meals mailed ahead --- the rest needing to come from what I can buy in trail towns.So I reckon that the more ideas I can look at, the better. Of course, I could just drink olive oil for every meal, and call that a "mediteranean diet" ! Brian Lewis
I can say that I have changed how I eat since I brought my book out-something that shows on the website and in my blog :-)i burnt myself out on rice and cheese badly ;-)Now I live on pasta quite a bit, and do more dehydrating of vegetables (lots of mushrooms!) I can say I am happy eating pasta, veggies, some cheese, herbs and olive oil with a biscuit of my Fauxbaker these days :-)
I followed Sarah's book's tips for pasta dehydration (p. 65) and successfully dried a healthy product called 'Barilla Plus' pasta. Barilla Plus http://www.barillaus.com/home/Pages/Barilla_Plus_Shapes.aspxIt is a multi-grain pasta. Rich in protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids.Using Sarah's Ramen recipes for guidance, I used the rehydrated Barilla Plus angel hair and also the PenneGreat with extra virgin olive oiland dried tomatoes and/or black beans
Does anyone know if Bill still comes to the BPL site? His profile showed no activity for awhile in the forums.I'd love to get my hands on that book.
Hmmmm, I am pretty sure I have 2 copies. Do I see an auction opportunity?JUST KIDDINGFirst contact can have the extra for original purchase price (assuming I can determine that) plus mailing cost. That'll help with the cost of Sarah's book, not that it is prohibitive.Ya just can't have too many backcountry cookbooks!Speaking of, here's a plug for an author I have no business assn with other than as a happy customer. His cooking doesn't lend itself well to UL cooking methods but whenever I roll out one of his recipes to a group I invariably get multiple "where'd you learn that?" queries. Cliff Jacobson ... pull down the Products menu, select "Books", third book from the bottom.Also, his Expedition Canoeing book is a tour de force ... and includes info from many many folks who spend all their summers canoeing near or north of the tree line. Imagine a long distance hiking book by RJ that also included opinions and techniques from a dozen Andy's, Francis's and Erin's!

I try to PM, but when I click on your name, I get the "Compass Broke" page (server error). Can you PM me?
Edited by DemeraraDrinker on 09/07/2007 15:21:23 MDT.
I am getting the same. I was able to PM someone else earlier this week and he was able to get back to me. The book has your name on it. Try again later tonight and let me know if it fails again. If so, I'll give you an email addr.
I will try tonight.
While rice is an easy to prepare and use starch, I have found it basically to be empty calories. Yes it is high in carbohydrates, however it is simple carbohydrates. Pasta on the other hand are typically complex (stick with you) carbohydrates. The Barilla Plus pasta (vitamin and protein enhanced) along with Couscous - IMHO and talking with others - is better for you on the trail because of its staying power. Rice dishes tend to fill me up quickly - but after a few hours - I am hungry again. While pasta/couscous dishes keep me filled up the entire evening until the next morning.What are other peoples results of eating rice dishes on the trail? Does it stick with you, our simply provide a "quick fix" to your hunger pangs...During my recent JMT thru-hike, towards the end I increased my calorie intake to about 1000 calories of some dish with pasta in it and noticed that I had more energy the next day to tackle the 3000/4000' passes - I powered right up the passes. While it was difficult to choke down that many calories - the result was worth it IMHO. Additionally I suffered less end of the day/afternoon bonking than when I was just eating around 600 calorie meals. Of course after a week on the trail - your body gets stronger.-martin
I'd agree...when I wrote my first book it had a lot of rice recipes-but as time has gone by I have gone to eating quite a bit of pasta on the trail. I use the Barilla pasta and also whole wheat pasta from Trader Joe's. I precook and dehydrate my pasta at home for "instant" pasta.The amount of pasta recipes on our website (Freezerbagcooking.com) have gone up quite a bit in the past year.I do still eat rice dishes, but I tend to bump up the protein in other ways to make up for it.
I am new to the site. I like it a lot. Getting my education on the lightweight side of things. Maybe I am missing it, but where do I put in an order for this book? Is there a particular website? I was looking for a link to email Bill, but is not popping out at me. Thanks!
Patrick,As far as we can tell he is not having the book printed anymore, and his website has been gone for the past year or so. So unless you can find a used copy, no luck.If you would like, take a look at my website for many ideas (Bill and I did share some similar viewpoints). My website is freezerbagcooking.com
Does anyone have a copy of this book they would consider selling?I'm trying desperately to find foods to eat on my through hike of the JMT next month.Last time I did the hike I ate two packs of instant oatmeal for breakfast, three chewy granola bars for lunch and a box of couscous for dinner EVERY DAY! (not complaining, I actually didn't mind one bit) but I'd love to mix things up this time...

The No. 27 University of Wisconsin mens tennis team opened its spring season on Saturday with two dominant victories at Nielsen Tennis Stadium. The Badgers bounced Butler 7-0 and earlier in the day defeated UW-Green Bay by the same score.
In sweeping Butler, the Badgers (2-0) dropped only a single set en route to the victory.
The match opened with doubles competition and the Badgers had little trouble with the Bulldogs (0-5).
Freshman Peter Marrack (Mississauga, Ontario) and sophomore Michael Dierbeger (Milwaukee, Wis.) propelled the Badgers to victory at No.1 doubles. The duo won the first 7 games on their way to defeating the Butler team of Ben Raynauld and Bryce Warren 8-1.
Sophomore Michael Muskievicz (Homewood, Ill.) and freshman Marek Michalicka (Ricany, Czech Republic) won at No. 2 doubles by defeating Chris Herron and Ben Shafer 8-3.
At No. 3 doubles, the team of senior Nolan Polley (Lexington, Ky.) and junior Gian Hodgson (Savaneta, Aruba) dropped the first game, but came back to win eight of the last nine to secure the victory over the duo of Brandon Bayliss and Sam Brown.
In singles play, Muskievicz had an easy time with Brown, winning 6-0, 6-3 at No. 5 singles. After sweeping the opening set, Muskievicz fell behind 1-2 in set number two. He righted the ship after that though and came out with the win.
Michalicka, who made his Badger debut earlier in the day against UW-Green Bay, earned UW a point at No. 2 singles. Michalicka downed Herron 6-1, 6-0.
At No. 6 singles, senior Felipe Bellido (Lima, Peru) won over Ben Shafer 6-2, 6-2. Bellido trailed at one point in both sets, but came back each time to earn the win.
Reynauld proved to be a bit of a challenge for Polley in the match at No. 1 singles. Polley, ranked No. 100 in the Collegiate Tennis Rankings, moved out to a 5-2 lead in the first set, but Reynauld closed the gap to make it 5-4 before Polley secured the 6-4 set victory. In the second set, Polley had an easier time. He won the set 6-2.
Dierberger faced a similar challenge from Warren at No. 3 singles. Like Polley, Dierberger emerged with a 6-4, 6-2 win.
Marrack was forced to a three-set tiebreaker in his match at No. 4 singles versus Bayliss. Marrack moved out to a 4-1 lead in the first set, but Bayliss evened the score up eventually at 5-5. Now in the tiebreaker, Marrack emerged with a 7-6 (2) win in the first set. Bayliss played very strong in the second set, winning it 6-3. In the third set super tiebreaker, Marrack and Bayliss again played each other tight. Neither player led by more than 2 points in the set, but Marrack emerged victorious with a 10-8 win to give the Badgers a 7-0 victory for the match.
Earlier in the day, the Badgers defeated UW-Green Bay 7-0 as both teams opened their spring seasons. The Badgers lost only one set in a total of six singles matches and three doubles matches against the Phoenix (0-1).
The No. 3 doubles team of Polley and Bellido opened up the season by making quick work of their opponents. Polley and Bellido defeated the team of Mike Wesley and Brian Zaron in an 8-0 rout.
The Badgers clinched the doubles portion of the meet when Muskievicz and Michalicka beat the team of Matt Clegg and Matt Keesey 8-6 at No. 2 doubles. It was a close battle throughout as neither pair was able to extend a lead of larger than two games. After falling behind 1-2, Muskievicz and Michalicka bounced back and won three in a row to grab a lead they would not relinquish.
The third and final doubles match was pushed to a tiebreaker, but Dierberger and Marrack were able to hold off their opponents for a 9-8 (4) win at No. 1 doubles. Facing Tim Prudlow and Mark Goldin, Dierberger and Marrack jumped out to a quick 6-1 lead. The duo from UW-Green Bay would not go down quietly though, winning five games in a row to knot the match at 6-6. The teams traded games until the tiebreaker, where the Badgers closed the match out with a 7-4 win.
In singles play, Michalicka, who was playing in the No. 1 spot and making his Badger debut, easily defeated Prudlow 6-2, 6-0. Michalicka fell behind 0-1 in the first set, but prevailed after taking 6 of the next seven games.
Dierberger also won in straight sets, besting Goldin 6-3, 6-2 at No. 2 singles.
At No. 5 singles, Bellido won his match against Keesey 6-3, 6-3.
Playing at No. 4 singles, Muskievicz won in straight sets over John Brough 6-4, 6-0.
Hodgson had to work in his straight-set victory over Eric Plaushines at No. 6 singles. In both sets, Hodgson trailed 3-4, but he rallied in each to claim a 6-4, 6-4 victory.
The longest match of singles play came at No. 3. where Marrack beat Clegg 6-7 (3), 6-0, 10-7. Marrack was behind for nearly all of the opening set, before forcing the tiebreaker. Clegg took that 7-3 to take the first set. Marrack came out strong in the second set, cruising to a 6-0 win. Playing in a super tiebreaker in set three, Marrack came out on top in a close 10-7 win.
The Badgers return to action tomorrow for two more dual matches. At 10 a.m. Wisconsin takes on Northern Illinois, while at 3 p.m., the team will host UW-Whitewater. Both matches will be held at Nielsen Tennis Stadium.

This man is an imposter:
His name is Asok, and Scott Adams would have you believe that he possesses superpowers. Was he bitten by a radioactive spider? Is he from Krypton? Was he born a mutant X-Man?
He is Indian.
And that means that he is automatically superior to Americans. Just look at this blatant propaganda.
I have a question for Scott Adams: If Indians are so smart, why are Indian companies in India outsourcing jobs to the Philippines and Nicaragua, of all places?
Answer: Because India is rotten with dummies. Or so says this Wall Street Journal article.
Not only are India's schools bad, but they are corrupt:
"Deepak Sharma, 26, failed several exams when he was enrolled at a top engineering college outside of Delhi, until he finally figured out the trick: Writing his mobile number on the exam paper. That's what he did for a theory-of-computation exam, and shortly after, he says the examiner called him and offered to pass him and his friends if they paid 10,000 rupees each, about $250. He and four friends pulled together the money, and they all passed the test."
And that's at a "top" engineering college. The mind boggles at what must go on at the regular schools.
Note to Scott Adams: You should write a strip where Asok is exposed for falsifying his resume. And then more strips about his plight as a virtual slave to the company that pays him peanuts and holds his green-card hostage. Right? The pointy-haired boss can persecute him because he can deport Asok at the drop of a hat. It will be great. Trust me. Your engineer readers are not exactly happy about being outsourced, and would cheer a little payback.
All joking aside, this myth that Indian and Chinese engineers are superior to Americans is preposterous. In fact, it's propaganda put out by the multinationals to help cover their eradication of the American Middle Class.
That is not a laughing matter.

It has been more than a month since this class wrapped up but it only occurred to me a few days ago that I forgot to share the rest of my assignments on the blog. Oops.
During week three, we were challenged to photograph a silhouette, a reflection, and a long exposure/night shot (not pictured). I hit a major wall with the third task so I am not sharing it here, but I am continuing to work on that skill.
The assignment for the final week was to tell a story using only photos. I borrowed Marjie, a.k.a Aunt Maojie, to help get this one recorded. It's no surprise why our little "I want to do it myself!"–er looks forward to our occasional trips to Whole Foods to stock up on soy yogurt, soy cheese, and almond milk.
With a new class starting this week—embracing flash photography--I'll no doubt have more to show you soon. Of course, first I have to make nice with my new camera. Reagan and my parents went in together on a Happy Everything in 2013! Canon 6D for me, a major upgrade from the camera I was using before. I desperately wanted the 6D but I didn't really understand what I was about to subject myself to. I've outgrown my Rebel T1i, feature-wise, but I felt like a rock star shooting with it. With the 6D, I feel like a dunce. The concepts are the same but the camera is configured differently. I no longer have the muscle memory for the controls. I have to think about every.single. shot I take and I am missing moments like crazy. *sigh*. Practice, practice, practice. I know. I wish I had a decent shot, or twenty, to show for my efforts though. I suppose the upside to taking crappy shots is that it makes my photo purging/editing go much faster: I mostly just delete. C'est la vie. At least I am maintaining my optimism. :-)

Get a raise? Put a large part of it into either a savings account and/or retirement account each month. Do it right away, and you won't miss it. You'll still bring home a larger paycheck, but your savings/retirement will now be getting larger, too. Doing this each time you get a raise adds up!
1. Set a weekly savings goal & stick with it.2. When U get to whatever the smallest CD your bank has (usually $1,000-5000), put your savings accumulated into a 3 month CD (CD's earn more interest).3. Continue to save, and if you earn a raise, add half the raise to your savings goal.4. When U
If you are getting a raise increase your 401(K) contribution at the same time. You won't miss the extra money going into your 401(k) because you didn't have it before. Do this every time you get a raise and before you know it you'll be maxing out your 401(k). If you don't have a 401(k) or are already maxed out take the raise and put it into savings.
My paycheck is direct deposit into my checking account. I then have a set amount transfered to savings. When I get a raise at work I increase the amount of my savings deducted by half of my raise.

Amy already got the picture out of Sonic hands and looked at it. "Aww, that is so cute! Should I share it with everyone?""No!

Claude Lanzmann - Biography
Claude Lanzmann, born in Bois-Colombes, France on November 27, 1925, is a Paris-based filmmaker, writer and journalist, renowned for his unprecedented 'cinematic history of the Holocaust', the 9 ½ hour documentary film SHOAH (1985). In his work, Claude Lanzmann addresses questions of Jewish identity by turning to topics such as the Holocaust, openly opposing its prevailing commodification by the film industry. Instead, he presents the past and its contradictions as fractured and unresolved, refusing to create works that are easy to digest. During the Second World War, at age eighteen, Claude Lanzmann joined the French communist party and fought against the Nazis. As a preparation for the École Normale Supérieure, he completed a course on philosophy at the Sorbonne. Nevertheless, following his interest in Germany after the war, he studied philosophy at Tübingen University and lectured on French literature and philosophy at the Free University of Berlin. In Berlin, he began his career as a journalist, revealing with his first article the persistence of Nazism in the university system in Germany; he wrote for Le Monde as the first Frenchman who traveled (illegally) through East Germany. This series of articles inspired Jean-Paul Sartre to invite Claude Lanzmann to collaborate with him and Simone de Beauvoir as an editor of their left-wing magazine Les Temps Modernes in 1952, of which Lanzmann is today a director. Claude Lanzmann was awarded his Honorary Doctorate in Philosophy at the European Graduate School EGS in Saas-Fee, Switzerland on June 6, 2004. He was decorated by the French government for resistance efforts during World War II. Claude Lanzmann received the New York Film Critics Circle Award (1985), the Los Angeles Film Critics Award (1985), and the Peabody Award (1987) for Shoah. Other documentary films by Claude Lanzmann are Pourquoi Israel / Why Israel (1973), Tsahal (1994), Un vivant qui passe / A Visitor from the Living (1997), Sobibór, 14 octobre 1943, 16 heures / Sobibor (2001). Claude Lanzmann is the author of The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film SHOAH.
As a journalist, Claude Lanzmann's specialty became in-depth interviews, and his first documentary Why Israel offers a collection of viewpoints by many people he met during his visit to Israel. Filmed twenty-five years after the creation of the state, the film underlines the accomplishments and contradictions of the Israeli nation, linking Jewish identity in Israel to the history of the Holocaust. Claude Lanzmann focused on the questions of normality and abnormality, spending time with German-Jewish emigrants, with people of different backgrounds and social status, as well as observing the newly arrived in this new homeland. A year later, in 1974, Claude Lanzmann began working on SHOAH, a film which took him eleven years to make, a complex cinematic oral history about the systematic murder of six million European Jews by the Nazis. Perhaps the only documentary without any image of its principal subject, Claude Lanzmann's decision not to use the existing archival footage reveals his awareness of the limits of representation and refusal to historicize the subject. Instead, Claude Lanzmann spent years searching and filming testimonies by survivors of the death camps, SS commandants, and eyewitnesses. During filming, he used fake identity and many times a concealed camera, secretly filming former Nazis. Nevertheless, after one of them discovered the true nature of the project, he beat Lanzmann so badly that he was hospitalized for a month. Approximately fifteen first-person testimonials render the machinery of extermination, the perfection of administration procedures, the highly organized logistics of execution and disposal of humans, showing ex-Nazis who remain unrepentant and take pride in the efficiency of the camps. In contrast to the faces of the witnesses, one watches peaceful and idyllic contemporary landscapes under which are buried mass graves, a cinematic method that makes the past brilliantly alive. As an interviewer, Claude Lanzmann is not detached; his questions are deeply personal, forcing people to answer questions they did not want to face all that time. At the core of Claude Lanzmann's film lies an absence, an untellable story he had to make out of traces of traces. From the other side, nine hours of direct storytelling will make clear to anyone how serious and important this historical event is in the history of humankind, something easily forgotten in its Hollywood representations. The testimonies of the perpetrators and the survivors who participated in crimes allow to humanize the inhuman, to tell the untellable, making one aware that what happened in Germany and occupied Europe was something that is not as unthinkable as it may seem, but something that could happen anywhere at any time.
Claude Lanzmann's next documentary Tsahal is a film about the Israeli army based on interviews with young soldiers and which created much controversy, provoking the right-wing activists to throw tear gas bombs during its showing in Paris. As a document on the terror of war, it reveals the fears of the soldiers, the violence they are forced to participate in, and the basic human instincts of survival they have to rely on when confronted with death. In A Visitor from the Living, Claude Lanzmann interviewed Mr. Rossel, a Swiss member of an International Red Cross inspection party sent to visit the Theresienstadt concentration camp in the Czech Republic. According to Mr. Rossel, this camp passed his inspection as he believed it was a V.I.P. concentration camp for the wealthy ones. Nevertheless, Claude Lanzmann shows in a discreet but powerful way the fact that his interviewee too easily closed his eyes and believed in reality that was staged for his visit only. Namely, just before he arrived to the camp, five thousand inmates have been killed so the place would not look too crowded.
In his last documentary, Sobibor, Claude Lanzmann used the same cinematic method that forces one to reconstruct reality in one's mind. It tells a story about a unique event in the history of concentration camps when six hundred inmates organized the mass revolt and escape in the camp Sobibor in Poland. The story is told by a single survivor, Yehuda Lerner, who arrived to the camp together with the Soviet army colonel Petchersky and sixty other strong men. Thanks to this, they had the necessary military expertise and human power to organize a successful uprising. They all knew the attack had to happen simultaneously and on October 14, 1943, at precisely 4 pm, the inmates killed the majority of the guards using knives and hatchets. The success of their mission was partly based on the punctuality of the Nazis and their schedule, enabling the inmates to know precisely where each of the guards will be located at the exact time. After the successful revolt, the entire camp broke free through the barbed wire, but half of them did not survive the heavy machine-gun fire and minefields. By recollecting this successful escape from a concentration camp, carried out with precision and discipline, Claude Lanzmann filmed a crucial account of the Jews in action, in contrast to their usual representation as victims only.
Claude Lanzmann is the author of SHOAH: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film (1995), with an introduction written by Simone de Beauvoir. Claude Lanzmann gained his Honorary Doctorate at the European Graduate School EGS, founded by the non-profit European Foundation of Interdisciplinary Studies (EGIS) based in Switzerland, where he lectures on Documentary Film and is a faculty member.

DEXTER, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- Hundreds of people gathered Saturday to mourn and pay their final respects to Army Captain John "Jay" Brainard.
Brainard's funeral was held at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Dexter Saturday afternoon. A motorcade brought Cpt. Brainard through Dexter and to the church before the funeral.
After the funeral, his body was taken to Sawyer Cemetery in Plymouth. Cpt. Brainard's brother Ben Hawthorne said in a previous interview that Brainard wanted to be buried in Sawyer Cemetery next to his grandfather who was a World War II veteran.
The family asked for privacy Saturday and did not want to talk to the media.
Senator Olympia Snowe was at the funeral and said she wanted to attend to show her appreciation for Cpt. Brainard's service in the military.
"I think it is one of the most important duties as an elected official, is to attend these funerals. For the families and for the heroes who die for the freedom and national security interest of our country. And ultimately pay the ultimate price. And it's important for us to convey our profound gratitude and depth of appreciation on behalf of a grateful nation," Senator Snowe said.
Cpt. Brainard was a helicopter pilot in the Army. He died when the helicopter he was piloting crashed in Afghanistan.

Willie Colon Y Hector Lavoe
Hector began playing with bands in New York like Kako and his All Stars. He later met and worked for two weeks with the great Dominican bandleader, Johnny Pacheco. Pacheco introduced Hector to a young, up-and-coming bandleader named Willie Colon. Willie was playing Latin jazz and boogaloo. The established musicians of the time considered Willie a kid with a bad sound. Pacheco was getting ready to have Colon record his first albumn for the Fania label. Willie who was looking for a lead singer liked Hector's clear voice, impeccable enunciation and stylistic abilities.
