One of my new favorite quotes comes from Bruce Lee.
Bruce Lee once said, when referring to life, "It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.†Interestingly, a discipline that Bruce Lee and many others advocate to help hack away at the unessential aspects of life is to essentially — doing nothing — really! More and more scientific studies suggest that occasional periods of silence and solitude can help alleviate problems related to stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, even insomnia. Doctors are beginning to theorize that a little bit of quiet time may even alter a person's brainwaves, thus increasing gray matter density, mental acuteness and focus. Perhaps, it can even decrease fatigue and symptoms of depression! It is beginning to appear that doing nothing does something!
It is understood the act of doing nothing is not easy. Establishing ideal silence and solitude means no distractions — no TV, no Internet, no music, no books, no people, no anything! So, to successfully do nothing, it will require a huge effort on your part. You may have to move to another room, you might have to close your eyes or even wear earplugs. Heck, you may have to resort to sitting in a closet with the door closed to get away from all the distractions! It will certainly feel weird (it will positively look weird — Heaven help you if someone finds you sitting in the closet doing nothing). The reason why, of course, is because you have been conditioned to always have something going on in your life — think about it. The tech industry is making a fortune off all your distractions. How many gadgets do you have that give you something to do when there is nothing to do?
The four pillars of Comprehensive Airman Fitness include the mental, physical, social, and the spiritual pillars. I acknowledge, spirituality can be difficult to define, but it is very real. It is so real that a growing body of physical evidence suggests by simply giving your mind (not just your physical body and brain), your soul, your spirit, whatever you call "You,†a chance to rest and reset occasionally, good things can happen. Are you at the point where you are ready to try just about anything? Consider doing nothing. God bless!

Google has just made available for download a new small piece of software for its Android users, namely the Sound Search for Google Play widget.
Just as the name of the new app suggests, Google intended to provide users with the possibility to discover new songs around them.
The widget provides users with the possibility to discover music straight from the homescreens of their handsets, Google announced.
Furthermore, the software will also enable the owners of Android-based devices to purchase the songs they have identified through the Google Play service, and add them to their Play Music library.
"Starting today, the Sound Search for Google Play widget is available to download from the Play store, so you can start identifying music playing around you, directly from your Android device's homescreen," Annie Chen, software engineer, Google, Explains in a blog post.
"Sometimes, you hear a song you like while you're out and about but don't want to download it right at that moment."
"The Sound Search widget syncs across all of your devices, so that song you recognized with your phone in the coffee shop can be quickly purchased from your tablet at home," Annie Chen continues.
Owners of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean-based devices will also have the possibility to add the widget straight to the lockscreen, so that they will be able to identify new songs even if the mobile phone is locked.
The Sound Search for Google Play widget has already been made available for download and can be found on this page on Softpedia. It is available for all devices in the U.S and is compatible with Android 4.0 and above. The widget weighs 655kb and is available for free.
"After you've installed it, go to the widget picker and drag the Sound Search widget onto your homescreen. You can click on the widget at any time to start recognizing music around you," Annie Chen concludes.

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON - County commissioners and other elected officials could receive a pay raise based on the county's increasing population, but one commissioner said he'll try to prevent it.
In Newton, county commissioner salaries are tied to the sheriff's salary. In 2001, the Board of Commissioners set BOC salaries at 20 percent of the sheriff's base salary. State law allows an automatic increase in salaries of constitutional officers once a county's population meets certain thresholds, including the 100,000 mark. The U.S. Census Bureau population estimate for 2012 is 101,505.
Douglas said he plans to raise the issue at the board's Aug. 5 meeting.
Douglas said the state has to certify that number at some point and when that happens, the automatic salary increase would occur. Since the sheriff would be subject to the increase and the commissioners' salaries are tied to the sheriff's, they would also get a pay raise, he said.
Information on what, if any, state agency certifies Census numbers could not be ascertained by deadline. The Department of Community Affairs supplies Census data online as a courtesy but does not generate or certify any numbers, said John Turner, division director of the Community Development Division at DCA.
"My goal is to include in the ordinance a provision that county commissions would have to take a public vote on any base pay raise rather than having it go into effect with no public discussion or vote," Douglas said. "In other words, even if we left it coupled with the sheriff's base pay, it could not occur until the commission had approved by a majority vote in a regular or called public meeting."
The Citizen has requested the salaries for commissioners and the sheriff, but has not yet received a response from the county. Given the formula for determining commissioners' salaries, it's possible that no two commissioners make the same amount.
The base salary is 20 percent of the sheriff's salary, which according to ACCG, should currently be $78,247.21 for a county Newton's size. That increases to $80,819.51 once the population hits 100,000.
In addition to their base salary, commissioners have longevity adjustments of an additional 5 percent for each four-year term completed, with a maximum 30 percent adjustment.
Cost of Living Adjustments are also allowed and are set by the state. Cost of Living Adjustments were 3.5 percent for 2002; 2.25 percent for 2003; none for 2004; 2 percent for 2005; 2 percent for 2006; 2.89 percent for 2007; and 3 percent for 2008, according to the Association County Commissioners of Georgia. There have been no Cost of Living adjustments after 2008.
Commissioners are also allowed miscellaneous expenses of $200 per month, considered by the IRS as income, and an educational supplement of 10 percent of their base salary for completing a training course to become a certified county commissioner.
Though there is no correlation between the fiscal year 2014 budget and millage rate increase and the potential raises, "the perception is out there that there is and so the timing is awful and we haven't given our county employees a pay raise in a number of years," Douglas said.
Frustrated 2 years, 2 months ago
Sure, why not give themselves a raise? Afterall they just raised property taxes because they wanted to maintain service at the same level as last year and the budget was falling short. How soon they forget!
dennistay53 2 years, 2 months ago
If ANY elected official in this county takes a raise after raising tax for the 100,000 citizens in Newton County they should be run out of town. Go to the commissioner meeting and support Douglas's motion and demand they take no raise.
deathtotaxes 2 years, 2 months ago
Raising taxes is easier than finding solutions to the real problem. I still think the tax increase is to cover all the tax/utility breaks Baxter was given.
henrystamm 2 years, 2 months ago
What does anyone think the two tax increases where for. We the people hard working and exuberate taxes have their salaries cut. But the socialist Marxists, lying conmen in government must be compensate for their incompetence. But you get what you elect.
Lorenzo 2 years, 2 months ago
Voting a pay raise for the elected officials while giving no pay raise to county employees for several years shows exactly where our elected official's interests rest......in their pockets!! I agree with dennis, we need to go the meeting and support Douglas's motion. We must have more voter presence at the board meetings and we need to let the elected officials know who they work for and what our wishes are.
RetiredGuy 2 years, 2 months ago
BOC gets a pay raise while the Library still has many empty shelves that used to contain monthly magazines and while the Library now operates on a skeleton staff?
The possible pay raise should go to the Library.
jimwill9 2 years, 2 months ago
It's time to quit talking about it, and get these self serving politicians out of office. JC Henderson should have been out of office years ago. How embarrassing to watch these guys never solve a problem. TAX TAX TAX that's the solution. We need to get off our rears, and vote these people out.

BOSTON (CBS) - Imagine that you've got your line in the water, and hoping to land a nice big cod for the dinner table. Suddenly, the line becomes tight, your rod jerks violently, and you discover that it's no cod, it's a 12-foot blue shark.
That's what happened to 15-year-old Ethan Lynch of Amesbury, and the blue shark he landed may be the biggest ever caught in state waters.
"It was amazing," says Lynch. " After about a half hour of fighting the fish, I got it near the boat, and ZING! it starts reeling off another 100 feet of line!"
Ethan Lynch and his little brother Noah are enrolled in a summer camp called "Coastal Discoveries". The program takes kids onto the water, and teaches them fishing and a love of the ocean.

Driven by a dream to make a true difference in the world, Roey Rosenblith '06 has taken a dramatic approach to doing so. He is living and working in Kampala, Uganda, where he is the co-founder of the renewable energy company Village Energy.
He first began his work with renewable energy while an honors student at UNCW. During an independent study with Christopher Halkides, assistant professor of chemistry, he built a homemade biodiesel reactor. This creation led Rosenblith to become the co-founder of Cape Fear Biofuels in the spring of 2005.
Following graduation, Rosenblith began to learn how he could really make his dream a reality.
"After working in Africa with the NGO (non-governmental organization) sector, I become fairly disillusioned with the practice of trying to help the developing world by begging for money and then, in essence, giving it away."
Rosenblith said reading several books on the topic gave him a new idea of what he could do.
"All these giveaways have had a really destructive effect on the developing world in general, and on Africa in particular. Consequently, I decided that instead of starting one more charity claiming that the world would be saved if you donated to them, I would start an energy company that met a market gap," he said. "Our goal, like many other social enterprises is to 'do well and do good.' "
This vision led to the establishment of Village Energy in Uganda.
Rosenblith is working to provide renewable energy to millions of people throughout Uganda. Village Energy's solar lighting systems eliminate the need for the expensive and dangerous kerosene lamps that most households use. This can reduce the amount of money the average family spends on energy from nearly 20 percent to 4 percent of their annual income, freeing money for food, school fees, crops, fertilizer and even starting a business.
One of Rosenblith former mentors at UNCW, Don Habibi, professor of philosophy and religion, describes Roey as inquisitive, bold and intellectually curious. Habibi once gave him a dollar bill to give to someone in need, thereby protecting him during his travels, a practice known as shalach mitzvah. Rosenblith gave it to a man in Uganda whose son had his name. This act may have kept him safer longer than originally anticipated. On Dec. 25, 2009, Rosenblith was on NW Flight 253 that was hijacked by a terrorist. The attempt to bring the plane down was unsuccessful and no one was hurt.
Rosenblith is continuing to work hard to make a difference in the world, starting with Uganda. His work is touching many lives and inspiring many others.

By the OGJ Online Staff
HOUSTON, June 21 -- Genoil Inc. has completed an agreement with Synenco Energy Inc. to test Genoil's pilot heavy oil upgrading technology.
Both firms are based in Calgary. Synenco has bitumen reserves of up to 2 billion bbl at its Athabasca oil sands lease and coal reserves of over 100 million tonnes on a neighboring lease. It is planning a world-class heavy oil upgrading facility with a minimum capacity of 75,000 b/d.
Genoil said its technology for upgrading oil sands bitumen to high-quality synthetic crude oil has potential lower capital and operating costs than other upgrading technologies.
The company said after retrofitting it in Edmonton, it has moved its pilot upgrader to Kerrobert, Sask. The remaining hydrogen generation and compressor equipment will be installed next week.
The unit will be field tested with 8°-gravity bitumen and other heavy oil feedstocks. Genoil said demonstration of the technology at Kerrobert could lead to a commercial demonstration plant in 2002.
Separately, Genoil said it is buying the Watergas/Hydrogen technology and other assets of FT Canada Ltd. for cash and warrants. Watergas is created with a patent pending generator design that delivers hydrogen and oxygen in the expected ratio of 2:1. Watergas/Hydrogen is of interest to Genoil for its upgrading process that uses hydrogen.
Genoil said the technology also could be used in stationary power equipment, fuel cells, industrial cutting equipment, furnace fuel, and flare gas emission remediation.

Fire captains play very important roles in today's society. Fire captains are responsible for their station and they report to the fire chief. A fire captain who works in a large station may have somewhat more narrow job requirements due to the fact that their staff can be quite large. However with smaller stations, fire captains have a large range of responsibilities. Some of their duties include managing the fire station, performing safety inspections, checking equipment on a regular basis, ordering new equipment, and they are often times in charge of training new firefighters. The captain is also held accountable to evaluate fires and determine how their firefighters should respond to each and every fire. They are also responsible for finding quick solutions to any problems that may arise.Read More...
When on the scene of a fire, the captain directs the firefighters in how to respond and handle each fire. They also determine how many buildings may be at risk and are in charge of launching evacuations. They work very closely with government fire officials.
Fire captains usually take part in ongoing training programs. Fire captains are responsible for fire drills and make sure their workers have a thorough understanding of how a fire spreads and how to handle each and every situation. Fire captains are often those who have a high school diploma and years of experience with a fire department.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and income seem to be closely related; in general, the survey respondents who had worked for more years reported higher incomes. In this position, someone who has worked for fewer than five years can expect a median salary of $41K. The median for people with five to 10 years of experience is only a little bit higher at $46K. For Fire Captains, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $60K. Survey participants who have worked for more than two decades report bringing in $70K on average.

Action Andy & Indiano Get Rematch in Mr. Prospector
Action Andy & Indiano Get Rematch in Mr. Prospector
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL - Robert Gerczak's 5-year-old gelding Action Andy and Stud El Aguila's 4-year-old Indiano look like the horses to beat in a field of six drawn for Saturday's $100,000 Mr. Prospector Stakes (G3) going six furlongs at Gulfstream Park.
The two met three weeks ago in the Pelican Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs with Action Andy the winner by 2 ¼ lengths over Indiano. But there are several differences in play for the rematch, including the fact that Action Andy will be the one shipping for the race from Tampa Bay while Indiano makes the short shuttle trip from Calder.
Trainer Carlos Garcia shipped Action Andy to Gulfstream earlier this year when he finished a dull sixth in the Sir Shackleton March 31.
"This year we shipped in the day before and he didn't run very well," said Garcia. "For this trip we'll come three days out to give him a chance to settle in."
Jockey John Velazquez picks up the mount on Action Andy as the Maryland-bred son of Gators N Bears bids for a fourth straight stakes victory after scoring in the Maryland Million Sprint and $350,000 Frank J. DeFrancis Memorial in October at Laurel Park.
Jockey Luis Saez rides Indiano for trainer Marty Wolfson in his second start following a four-month layoff, his second extended absence from the races this year. "The last layoff was because of a bad lung infection that took a lot of time to get over," said Wolfson. "I think he ran a very good race in Tampa considering I only had time to work him four times before that race."
A Kentucky-bred by Indian Charlie, Indiano is highly-consistent when he is in action with a 16-9-4-2 record. He came to Wolfson early in 2011 after winning his first five starts in Panama and finished second twice over the Gulfstream track, including the Swale Stakes (G2). Next out he posted the only 'off-the-board' finish of his career when fifth attempting a mile in the Derby Trial (G3) at Churchill Downs in late April.
Indiano came back with impressive scores in the Unbridled Stakes, Carry Back Stakes (G2) and and Eillo Stakes in the summer of 2011 at Calder. After finishing third in the $250,000 Gallant Bob Stakes at Parx in late September, Indiano ran a big race to finish third, beaten a half-length for it all by Apriority in the Mr. Prospector here last December prior to six months on the sidelines "when he just needed a break after a hard campaign," said Wolfson.
An intriguing contender in the field is Ken and Sarah Ramsey's 4-year-old gelding Bull Dozer, claimed for $62,500 when winning his last start over the track and distance by two lengths on Dec. 7. The son of Trippi had finished a good third in the Jack Dudley Sprint at Calder on Nov. 10 and won his three previous races in starter/allowance events there. Jockey Javier Castellano gets the call for trainer Mike Maker.
Richard Malouf and trainer Edwin Broome's 5-year-old Partyallnightlong is entered to make his first start since winning the Dan Horn Stakes going five furlongs on turf at the Meadowlands on May 5. That race was his first since late July of 2011 when he finished fifth behind Force Freeze in the Teddy Drone Stakes at Monmouth Park. Jockey Jose Lezcano will have the mount.
Shivananda Racing's 4-year-old gelding Off the Jak ran a respectable second last out behind Bernie the Maestro in the $100,000 Rapid Transit Claiming Crown Stakes over the track on opening day, Dec. 1. The son of With Distinction is fast and races on the pace in most of his races. Jockey Jose Alvarez will be in the saddle for trainer Shivananda Parbhoo.
Frank Calabrese's 3-year-old Dreaming of Nemo would appear to be the outsider in the field after only three career starts, although he has won twice. Jockey Francisco Torres rides the son of Exclusive Quality for trainer Luis Ramirez.
Dreaming of Nemo won his career debut here in January before a dull seventh-place try behind Politicallycorrent in a February allowance in his second start. He didn't run again until posting a three-length allowance victory at Calder on Nov. 11.

How do you decide which recipes to make daily or on special occasions? What sparks your interest? A good photo? A mouth-watering description in a cookbook? The smell of a particular food coming from a neighbor's house? A memory of someone? For me, it's usually a little bit of each, but this time tidbits of stories about my abuelita {grandmother} motivated me to hunt down chayote {a Caribbean ...Read More »
Pumpkin Pie Not From a Can
I could eat Pumpkin Pie any time of year. It just so happens that because pumpkins are seasonal in the fall here in the Midwest, I truly crave this exact type of pie at this exact time of the year. I love the smell of fresh pumpkin so I began to steam small pie pumpkins myself, also known as sugar pumpkins. I ...Read More »

Multigrain French Toast
Weekend mornings may be the default, albeit traditional time to make griddled things like pancakes and waffles, but this recipe is so quick and easy you can really make them any day of the week. I like to use multi-grain bread to make French toast (my favorite comes from Trader Joe's). The honey in this recipe is optional, but I think it adds some welcome sweetness ...Read More »
Savory Zucchini Fritters
At the end of every summer, it's easy to take the plethora of zucchini and other types of summer squash for granted.

Peter Bergman of Firesign Theatre, dead at 72
March 9, 2012 - 5:41 pm
If you don't remember Firesign Theatre, you should.
Story here.
Peter Bergman of Firesign Theatre, dead at 72
March 9, 2012 - 5:41 pm
If you don't remember Firesign Theatre, you should.
Story here.
Lt. Bradshaw, We hardly knew ye.
If you dont know Firesign Theater, buy the album "Dont Crush that Dwarf, Hand me the pliers". You will not regret it.
I bought it in 1977, I still listen to it about once a month, I am still finding new jokes in it. It's that good.
And Peter Bergman( Bald guy, big glasses) is prominently on display in this video(Martian Space Party):
HUGE Firesign fan since their days doing Radio Free OZ on KPFK and KPPC in L.A. in the 60s. Saw them live a few times. favorite albums: How Can You Be In Two Places… and Don't Crush That Dwarf. Lt Bradshaw……District Attorney!!
Don't crush that dwarf. Hand me the pliers.
I had the good fortune to see these guys live at Columbia around 1970, and they were great.
Peter Bergman, funny guy. RIP.
That's the end of another era.
This hurts. Firesign Theater was one of the cultural icons for me, starting with listening to tapes of their radio show from Berkeley in the early seventies. Bozos has always been one of my favorites, it has so many layers of meaning that can be separated and enjoyed. It was an early look at virtual reality that holds up even today.
Sad, I will miss him. My parents listened to all their albums back in the day, and I still think they are pretty funny. All Hail Marx and Lennon and Everything You Know is Wrong are my personal favorites. Couldn't ever get their albums on CD if I remember. No..no youu're confused, the horizon is moving up….
"Couldn't get their albums on CD"? You're not trying very hard. I have plenty of Firesign CDs.
There were some official CDs cut at some point, I have them, and gave a bunch as Xmas presents back at the time.
"I'm sorry, you didn't beat the reaper."
The hip president, Stokely Van Cool, prefigures Obama.
I was a huge fan – I have "Don't Crush That Dwarf" and "I Think We're All Bozos" pretty much memorized. Sad to hear.
Shoes for industry, shoes for the dead.
Hope Peter Bergman gets a pair of nice comfortable loafers.
Farewell to a comic genius.
"Oh Nicky . . . Nick . . . Nick . . . Nick . . . "
Oh yes, memories. Back in college where we did inhale. Friday evenings in the dorm with Firesign and friends after a tough week studying.
"Guard? Guard! I'd like to speak to my ambassador!"
"Easily done – he's in the next cell."
Porgy Tire biter
We've been shootin' reds and yellows allll day
I am proud to present my saga of eternal pain and torment, profusely illustrated, entitled…..Leather thighs!
Back in the shadows again
At first I wrote with ink composed of bits of me own blood, but this did not make a suitable carbon..
Ahh the memories RIP Peter
A returning deceased war veteran about to get that free mule he's been dreaming of.
"Give Me Immortality, or Give Me Death" a most rewarding 1999 reprise should not go unappreciated. Check it out if you haven't.
the parable of Moore Science stolen and hidden inside Commie Martyrs High, will never get old.
Thanks for the memories, and the premonitions.
I saw 'em in Seattle just a couple years ago. So inventive and unlike anyone else!
My fave is/was/will always be "Everything You Know Is Wrong." Genius!
Big fan. Saw 'Proctor & Bergman' at an open air venue in D.C. in 1974(?). A creative light goes out…
A sad day for all Bozos and Bozo-ettes! All out for Fort Stinking Desert!
I can recite pretty much all of Marx, Dwarf, and Bozos.
And miss the entire universe of humor that they represented. Now all we have is Bill Maher? O.M.G.
RIP Pete, you were terrific.
I remember them from college, but I have to admit that I wasn't a huge fan and never got around to buying their albums. My loss, clearly. I may have to remedy that.
I saw them once, in the mid 90s. I had a friend who was a fan back in the day, and who was going through a period of depression. I found out they were playing at a local theater and dragged him along.
They all sat around after the show to meet and chat with their fans and sign autographs. So I'm sure I at least shook hands with Peter, although I didn't have much to say.
Check out the Jack Poet Volkswagen commercials. They're hilarious.
I have a bunch of their albums, and I have one obscure album that Phil Proctor and Peter Bergman (Calling themselves "Proctor and Bergman") called "TV or Not TV", where they have a typical program day for "Channel 85″ set in, likely, 1985. The "programs" on that channel were hilarious, I think my favorite was "Escaping from the Declining Fall of the Roaming Umpire". The only CD I have is the one with the cover "All Hail Marx and Lennon" with pictures of Groucho and John. So much great humor, so many twists and turns in getting there.
*Sigh*. One less bozo on the bus…
"Oh, you poor brute of a killer without a conscience! I'm wet with compassion!"
"You have violated Robot's Rules of Order and will be asked to leave the future immediately."
"Look at that, Chucko – it heard the word Power, and it responded just like we do!"
You can dip anywhere in the Firesign Theatre's first four albums and find brillantly innovative wordplay that will feed your mind and keep you smiling at the pure inventive genius of these comedy masters. Only Phil Hendrie at his best comes anywhere close to these guys for sheer voice talent and improvisational skills today. But the FT were into something far deeper:Zen Master Dharma Bum comedy, or whatever they felt like calling it on any given day.
It's always interesting to note, too, how how many people on the right can appreciate the artistry that lefty and/or counter-culture icons (Beefheart, FT, etc)gave to the world, while on the Left, once an artist thinks out of lockstep, he or she can can only be reviled.
RIP Lt Bradshaw, indeed, and for those who are keeping track, Peter was also the voices of:
(on Electrician:) Lord Kitchener, Information Man, Achmet, Hans, Singing Prisoner, Writer, Dr Flith, Charlres
(on Two Places:) Babe [the main character], Odysseus, Chester Allen Arthur, Joe Swine, Guido
(on Dwarf:) Mudhead, Joe Beets, Porcelin, Pattie, Leroy, Arnie Bohunk, the Warden, Bob Baseline, Dr Math, Sgt Mudheadski, Madge, the Newscaster, the Commercial Announcer, Son and Artie Bohunk
(on Bozos:) Floyd Damme, Artie Choke, Student, 1st Man, Last Man, Mr. Brown, Jim, Chucko & Mac 3
[citation: The Firesign Theatre's Big Book of Plays, 1972]
That Marx and Lennon album is, and always has been, "How Can You Be in Two Places at Once (When You're Not Anywhere at All.)" I'm pretty sure Bergman would get the joke that we can't remember the name of his best-known work.
NPR picked him, presumably out of a lineup or Central Casting, for a panel discussion of race-based fears during the Rodney King Unpleasantness. He revealed that anti-establishment revolutionary comedy had been pretty much been just his schtick, after all, and what they all What This Country Needed was for the angry mob not to come over the ridge. Up into the hills, where nobody delivers after midnight.
You there: Mr Business Executive. Anybody want a Hundred-Dollar Shine?
As you all know we're overdosed again with old tastes and kilos. Let's just take a look at these fantastic lids.
Follow in your book as we learn three new words…in Turkish. Bath. Towel. Border. May I see your passport, please?
Everything you know is wrong.
Bear Whiz Beer! It's in the water!
Jesus! It's juh-juh-juh Jesus! (with a cross in one hand and a switchblade in the other)
Sigh. Goodbye, Peter.
Ya can't get thea from heah.
I'm high on the real things; powerful gasoline, a clean windshield, and a shoe shine.
More sugar!!!
Also agree that TV Or Not TV is pretty good.
"…up and down the mocha-java coast with a cargo of rubber goods and spiders."
I needed a new laywer once that has been horrible At first glance, that will lawyer appears to be professional. Nevertheless, after your woman received each of our retainer, the actual program transpired from there. Your woman had been typically unreachable. The lady rejected to send back telephone calls, the girl did not respect your ex responsibilities as well as the girl familiarity with legislation looked doubtful. Our own case pulled on for two main additional several weeks since the girl had not been aware of the right things you can do to have each of our case before the decide. I'd to make contact with your Judge's office myself personally then tell in which legal professional concerning precisely how your woman should carry on. During our experiencing, the actual determine really presented the girl teaching in connection with good quality of labor sent to him. She offers their self like a specialist and knowledge attorney, but once you're able to meet her personally, you will notice that it is just pertaining to shows. The girl has been a terrific disappointment and also less than professional. Employ this law firm at the own threat. She is most likely one of many cheaper attorneys inside Macon, but merely keep in mind that you receive that which you spend on. So when you need to do engage a attorney at law get 1
"Pssst! Hey Sarge, how long have Pico and Alvarado been out on patrol?"
"Since 1600."
"Wow… that's almost 400 years!"
For my money, " waiting for the electrician or someone like him" was their greatest- but it's a close call.
Even here in Australia I thought they were amazing, 'Everything you know is wrong.("Dogs flew spaceships! The Aztecs invented the vacation! Men and women are the same sex! Our forefathers took drugs! Your brain is not the boss! Yes! That's right! Everything you know is wrong!").'
I thought they heralded a whole new era of satire, instead they were pretty much the high point, then came political correctness plus a world which is itself too abnormal and crazy to satirise. Everything we think we now 'know' according to the mass media, is in fact often wrong and it's no joke.
I 'm very enjoyed for this particular blog. Its an helpful topic. It help me really much to solve some problems. Its opportunity are usually so fantastic and working style so speedy. I feel it may be help all of you. Many thanks.
"Animals without backbones hid from each other, or fell down."
I saw them live twice, but nothing beats the show your mind creates when listening to their albums. Granted, I had the benefit of some, er, visual aids at the time…
There will never be another Firesign Theater. Godspeed, Peter.

Social Security Disability Hearing Decisions
After you've had your disability hearing, you do what every other disability claimant does. You settle in and wait for a hearing decison to arrive in the mail.
Let me caution you on this. It could be a long wait, even if the administrative law judge actually told you at your hearing that he would pay the case (translation: approve your disability claim). Why is this? Two reasons, really. Backlogs at the various hearing offices around the country and also the fact that, although the ALJ will make the decision on your disability hearing, the actual notice of decision must be compiled by someone else at ODAR (office of disability adjudication and review, formerly known as OHA, the office of hearings and appeals). That individual is known as a decision writer. And like most functionaries in the SSA disability system, they are backed up as well.
How long does it take to receive disability hearing decisions. As with every other step in the system, there's no way to really know. Typically, you should expect to receive a notice of decision within a six to twelve week timeframe. If the judge at your hearing says two weeks, just remember that might be the amount of time for him to finish his part in the process.
That may not necessarily mean that you'll get your hearing decision notice in two weeks.

Wilkins Elementary School Reviews
Attended Wilkins when it was grades K-8
I attended Wilkins Elementary School 3rd - 8th grade. I graduated in 1952 and I have fond memories of my school days at Wilkins. It was a well-rounded school and had a tremendous education.
Wish it did not close
After the school added 8th grade, there was a lot less confusion. Although there were less students, there was higher opportunity for success. I was one of the school's last graduating students, and I was Valedictorian. There were more resources due to the fact that there were less children. Everyone in my departing class left with at least a 3.0 GPA. Excellent if I say so myself.
It is the worst school in history ..... i hate it i am glad this is my last year there.......
I went to Wilkins Elementary from 2003-2005. I started in the 3rd grade and graduated from there in the fifth. I had the best teachers there and would advise any parent to send their child there.

NORMAN — With 3:59 left to play Saturday, Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart sat in the lane, having just been shouldered to the floor by Oklahoma's Amath M'Baye.
Bedlam basketball: OSU's Marcus Smart limited by foul trouble in loss to Oklahoma
No foul.
Official Andrew Walton, on the spot, offered a hand to help Smart up.
No thanks.
Smart defiantly waved away Walton, who along with his two other officiating pals, contributed to a disappointing Bedlam debut for the OSU freshman — and for the Cowboys — in a 77-68 loss at Lloyd Noble Center.
"I didn't want any part of that," Smart said of his dismissal of Walton. "I was just really frustrated. I was just frustrated with everything. I felt like we didn't get some calls we probably should have gotten.
"But that's just the way it's going to go. You have to move on."
Correct calls or not, Smart found himself in foul trouble throughout, limited to 27 minutes and leaving the Cowboys short-handed as well. OSU's most impactful player and the hub of their offense at the point guard spot, Smart wasn't sharp when he was on the floor, making just 3-of-10 shots from the floor and going 3-of-6 from the foul line for 10 points.
"I think Marcus was burdened by the fouls, which limited him a little bit," said Sooner coach Lon Kruger.
Said Smart: "It's definitely frustrating, because there's no way you can get a feel for the game or a rhythm. When you get back in, everything's new to you."
Markel Brown scored a game-high 19 points, while Phil Forte and Le'Bryan Nash added 12 each. But the Cowboys clearly missed Smart, who has played his best in OSU's biggest games, in a variety of ways.
"It takes toughness out of the game," said Brown, who slid over to replace Smart for much of the time he was sitting. "It takes a hardworking player, a big-time rebounder, a big-time scorer out of the game.

VIA, installation at Southern Exposure, San Francisco, California, 2001
At first glance Anna Von Mertens' work looks spare and minimal. She has said that her medium is more the bed than it is quilts. Her installations extend beyond the carefully arranged quilts onto the floor and walls of the space. All these factors add up to high art, which left me a little cold, but the revelation for me was reading the descriptions of her work and making the connection with what our very own Weeks Ringle calls "big ideas." That is, starting the quilting process with an overarching idea that guides the selection of colors, the piecing, through to the quilting and the finishing. You just might call Von Mertens' ideas huge, and they're ideas that aren't completed after the binding is put on.
Meet and Separate (detail), 1999
Von Mertens dyes and quilts by hand. Her color choices and piecing are systematic, based on ideas like the heights of her and her brother growing up, friends' and family members' descriptions of the afternoon sky, video games, and Martha Stewart paint chips. Her painstakingly detailed hand stitching is the most impressive layer of meaning: bird migration patterns, circuit boards, topographical maps of land and even her own body, cell structures, star rotation patterns, nuclear explosions, and many other kinds of charts and maps. Her groupings of the individual quilts and the extension of the patterns onto the walls and floors of the room provide still another layer, just one that is transient.
