What is in this article?:
- Irrigation is theme of Alabama water management symposium
- Falling behind neighboring states
• With adequate levels of irrigation adoption, there is no reason why Alabama could not compete favorably with the regions of the country most prized for row-crop output — the West and Midwest.
Falling behind neighboring states
Following a decade-long, comprehensive investigation into this issue, a team of researchers representing several Alabama universities concluded that the agricultural sector's failure to make full use of its rainfall and irrigation potential accounts in large measure for its loss of competitiveness in row-crop production compared with neighboring southern states.
"While Alabama has fewer than 120,000 acres of row crop irrigation, the neighboring states of Georgia and Mississippi each have well over a million acres under irrigation," Fowler says.
With adequate levels of irrigation adoption, there is no reason why Alabama could not compete favorably with the regions of the country most prized for row-crop output — the West and Midwest, he says.
The symposium is sponsored by the Flint River Conservation Association, the Coalition for a Green Huntsville, Auburn University's Water Resources Center, the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, the Alabama Chapter Sierra Club, and the Huntsville Canoe Club.
The symposium is free. Lunch will be served and refreshments will be available during the breaks. To learn more about the symposium and to register, visit: http://www.alabamarivers.org/events/alabama-water-policy-symposia/huntsville-water-policy-symposium.

This bag has plenty of space to fit all your gear. I particularly like it for shore diving or recent diving at Bonne Terre Mine in Missouri where you need to haul all your gear down into the mine. We also liked that it fits in our travel bags to use when we get to our over seas destinations.

I get numerous requests from executives and users for new smaller laptops for travel purposes. Most of my evaluation is based upon whether or not it can run certain applications. Mainly lotus notes, office, and video. Most of the laptops include windows 7 OS, and are fully loaded with ram, a high-end processor and a integrated graphics card.
My boss whats me to document the usefulness of the laptop and performance. I'm just a little confused on how to setup a document that can be used by members of the IT department for future evaluations.

Here's a map Im currently trying on.

Btw the city banners are just placeholders. They are from my fav video game [Skyrim].

I really like this map, the colors on it are wonderful. The slight texture on the land is also a nice touch.
I think the major critique I have is that it seems a bit sparse near Antragar, but i'm sure that since this is a work in progress you'll fix that. A minor fix I would make would to make the ocean and your rivers/lakes the same color, just for consistency. You might consider changing the city graphic (houses, with tower) to be just a box or a dot, that way it doesn't seem that the mapping elements are repeating that much.
Overall a nice map, it's coming along great!
Thanks, I like the color scheme aswell and Im glad you enjoy it too.
I used the same color for sea as for lakes/rivers, it just doesnt seem like it because the blue is darkened near the landmass. Im planning on looking on that later.
The area near Antragar is not yet started. Im still thinking of what to put there. I have some ideas but I decided to concentrate on the other areas of the map first.
Overall I think the map still feels a bit empty and Im currently trying to find interesting landmarks to fix the holes.
I'll give the dots/squares instead of city icons a try, I also thought that it was a bit repetetive. Or Im using a variety of icons.

I'm guessing there is no link, but maybe they can find some "other" link so they can strip the championship and still pretend they did right initially.

When your powers are dictatorial and arbitrarily administered already, no one will press the issue much.
No matter what, I could NEVER cheer for Dirt and Urine.
If you are winning you can get away with things like insisting that Cam Newton knew nothing even though he was quoted as saying that the money was "too much." However, losing is the unforgiveable sin.
I bet nearly every SEC (Sleazy Eastern Conference) team could be buried if the NCAA investigated. The "Southern Politics" that happens down their is ripe with under the table payouts for players and back alley deals. Just look at the other conferences that are in the same areas, mainly the ACC. They draw from the same talent pools in recruiting but for some reason ALWAYS (with a few exceptions to Florida State and Miami) lose the most talented to the SEC. The fact that Cheeeezdick got busted means that 1. He is really disliked by others in that conference and 2. He must be really stupid.
He should send a Thanksgiving Card to Tuberville for all the talent he recruited and coached prior to the championship year when Cheeeezwad took over.
Come on now, guys, we shouldn't be celebrating the downfall of Auburn or Gene Chizik.

I have a static method in my code that I would like somehow to mock.
I am using jmock.
One way I suppose I could do this is to have "wrapper class" around the static method and mock this but I was hoping for a better solution.
I am going about this the wrong way?
I was going to have a interface and class that had a method that just called the static method. It would allow me to mock the logic by just mocking the call to this wrapper class. (I feel dirty even talking about it :) )

Batgirl Vol. 1: The Darkest Reflection (The New 52) (edition 2012)
by Gail Simone, Ardian Syaf (Illustrator)
Work details
Batgirl Volume 1: The Darkest Reflection by Gail Simone
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I feel like reading one of DC's current series, and chose this one for a variety of unimportant reasons. So far, it's unmemorable, but perfectly okay. There's potential, and I think I'll keep going with it.
Okay. So, Barbara Gordon didn't get permanently paralyzed and become Oracle exactly anymore. Instead, in this New 52 Batgirl reboot, after getting shot in L1 and being paralyzed for 3 years she's regained the ability to walk through some sort of miracle cure-ish thing, and she's back to being Batgirl (As an aside. Although I love what Simone has done with this title here, I still miss Oracle terribly).
So, there's a new psycho in Gotham. (actually in this TPB there are a couple of different new Gotham villains). The Mirror, (or Mirror Man, I wasn't quite sure what his name was). And Gretal. Both were interesting and definitely had different stories.
I also thought that how they interspersed how Barbara went from paralyzed to walking was good. It was given in dribs and drabs. I also really liked the interactions that happened with Batgirl and Batwoman, Batgirl and Batman, Batgirl and Nightwing.
But (aside from me wishing that Barbara was still Oracle) some of the Batgirl angst over her walking/not walking, the cure, etc, seemed to overwhelm the rest of the story.
I read Vol. 3 as part of the "Death of a Family" cross-over and really liked it, so wanted to back-up and start from the beginning with this character. I've never read the Oracle character so am quite happy with the new background given to BG, since I know no other. This was quite intense, and especially knowing how much more intense it's going to get, I thought it was a great intro to Barbara/Batgirl. As with all the Bat-family books I love how other characters will pop-up. Here BG has an interlude with Nightwing [sigh] and she helps Batman out of a tight spot. The Mirror was a bit of a lame villain but I thought Gretel was pretty cool and it would be neat to have her show up in Arkham in the future. Having read V3 already, I'm now getting the background on some plotlines and I really like what Simone is writing. I like the art as well, it has the dark, moody Batman feel to it, just the way I like my Gotham City!
Oh the controversy that surrounds this book. Barbara Gordon is released from her wheelchair and resumes the cape in the reboot of the Batgirl title. The story begins with her in full swing, on her way to bust heads on some creepy home invaders, and fills the reader in with her interior monologue that she hasn't been at the physical crime fighting for that long. She still manages to take out the perps, but when a serious criminal arrives on the scene who has a vendetta to kill every person who miraculously escaped a near-death experience, Batgirl wonders if her rusty abilities are up to the challenge. She is determined to stop the madman on her own, refusing help from Nightwing or any other.
In between crushing fights with Mirror, Barbara has plenty of other problems to handle. She moves in to a house with a new roommate, who is almost too perceptive of Barbara's extracurricular activities. Her father is still very concerned with everything she does, and the reader learns in bits and pieces that Barbara received an experimental treatment from South America that helped her get out of the wheelchair and start walking. After figuring out a way to end Mirror's crusade, with a combination of psychological and physical attacks, Batgirl is confronted with a crazy woman. Gretel can control men with a few spoken words, and she has her sights set on Bruce Wayne. Although the story is introduced towards the end of the volume, Batgirl works with Batman to resolve it in just a couple of issues.
I enjoyed this title, which has the advantage of being set in Gotham. I grew up watching cartoons of Batman, Robin, and Batgirl. I certainly understand the arguments of fans who are disappointed that DC removed one of its compelling characters with a disability, and from what I've read about Oracle, she sounded like an amazing character. I never read any comics with Barbara in her Oracle days, though, so reading this feels true to my own memories of Batgirl. The stories were suspenseful and fast-paced, darker than I expected, but with good mysteries. I loved the scenes with Nightwing. I also liked the potential with the new roommate, and Barbara's interactions with Batman. Gretel's story definitely felt rushed, her unique gifts and back story had so much more potential. Hopefully she returns with a more sustained story in the future. The series is entertaining enough for me to return to the second volume, and see how Barbara Gordon's story develops.

Loeb on course to winning ten titles in a row is just taking the piss out of the history of the WRC, yes he deserves to be multiple champ but he always had a car more reliable than anyone else and mostly his team mate wasnt allowed challenge him, or was not good enough to even win rallies. If the same strategy was applied for Ford they could have won drivers championship with Marcus for definite.

You know what bothers me? When you, say, bring over Citizen Kane to watch with a bunch of your contemporaries or people younger than you. There's always one guy, who, 20 minutes in, will declare "yeah, this is a good movie. See the dialogue. See how they made that work?" As though he directed the movie. As though we were all waiting for him to confirm that it met his standards and he will point out that dialogue as though he made it up in his head. At which point my own head always literally explodes, which is why I have to hurtle around the room, blind, trying to find my lips so I can reply "it's Citizen Kane, you fucking moron. No one needed you to tell them it was good."
Often, I'm forced to use puppets.
This is irritating for a few reasons. It implies whoever is saying it knows the entire world of movies, and, more, that their opinion is the only one that matters. Moreover, it implies that, up until now, this movie's goodness was up for debate, but, no more. Now, perhaps you can pull this off if you are Robert Osborne. But often this person is 22, sleeping on futon, and not a filmmaker. And they're sitting there pontificating, which makes it seem as though history was waiting for futon-kid's judgement. As though, now, at long last, Orson Welles can finally rest in peace.
This is a problem because, while some people will realize this is insane, other people will take this totally seriously if he says it with enough gravitas. Other people will begin to say "yeah, [futon-kid] really knows a lot about movies."
Look, I'm bringing up this instance partly because I have got to stop hanging out with liberal arts majors. But partly, also, because this does seem to happen with a great variety of people, and isn't just a problem if you are going to some very swanky dinner parties in Aspen. This can be a pretty universal problem. And it effects aspects of life much more serious than just being pretentious about books and movies.

Orzo with Kale and Mushrooms
I needed a good side dish the other night and was just going to make some plain orzo, maybe tossed with olive oil and garlic, and sprinkled with some parmesan cheese. Tasty, but a little boring. But then my husband reminded me of the kale and mushrooms we had aging in the fridge so I figured I'd saute them up and toss them in with the orzo. So glad I did. It turned out great and turned a pile of pasta into a healthy beautiful bed to put some chicken on.
I didn't write down how I made it, so the amount below are an estimate.
Orzo with Kale and Mushrooms
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup kale, torn into bite-size chunks
- 1/3 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1/4 cup dried orzo
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Cook orzo according to package directions, substituting chicken broth for water. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the kale and saute for about 5 minutes, or until slightly wilted. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add orzo to skillet with kale and mushrooms and toss to combine.
You can find this recipe and many more at these parties.

New Jersey's Version of 'The Decision'
Zach Parise spent much of Monday sequestered at his agents' offices in Missisauga, Ontario, the most pressing decision of his hockey career apparently still unresolved in his mind and heart.
Parise, who became a free agent at noon Sunday and is the most coveted player on the market this off-season, is still weighing whether he will re-sign with the Devils or accept a free-agent contract offer from another team. He told reporters Monday that he was getting closer to making his decision but had not set any deadlines for himself. His agent, Wade Arnott, has not responded to multiple attempts to contact him.
Despite the Devils' uncertain financial situation—owner Jeff Vanderbeek had a $77 million debt payment due this summer—the team remains a viable landing spot for Parise. Martin Brodeur, the Devils' longtime goaltender, said that he had spoken with him on multiple occasions over the previous few days. Neither Parise nor the team, Brodeur said, had ruled out the possibility of Parise's returning.
"Zach is a priority for the Devils," said Brodeur, who agreed to a two-year, $9 million contract to remain with New Jersey after becoming a free agent himself Sunday. "The Devils are right in there for him."
The Philadelphia Flyers, according to a person with direct knowledge of their thinking, already have made a substantial offer to Parise, and the Minnesota Wild—based in Minneapolis, Parise's hometown—announced on its Twitter feed that it had offered him a contract, as well. The other teams believed to be vying for Parise include the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the contract proposals he's entertaining are believed to eclipse (both in years and dollars) the nine-year, $60-million deal Brad Richards signed with the Rangers last summer.
The flip way to describe the situation would be to say that Parise is one pair of lens-less eyeglasses away from becoming the NHL's answer to LeBron James, whose drawn-out decision to sign a free-agent contract with the Miami Heat two years ago dominated NBA followers' interest for months. But Parise has never hidden his loyalty to the Devils, the only franchise he has known in his seven-year NHL career, and Brodeur said it would not be easy for Parise to severe that tie.
"To come back to New Jersey for him is something he takes a lot of pride in, and that's why the decision is so hard," Brodeur said. "I'm sure offers are coming left and right.…There are a lot of different things, but weighing the options, it's the rest of your career you're talking about. It's not just one or two years."
The Devils' captain and best all-around forward, Parise, who turns 28 later this month, has scored 31 goals or more five times in his career. He recorded eight goals and 15 points in 24 postseason games this year in helping New Jersey reach the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 2003.
In a December interview, Parise had emphasized how important it was to him to play for a franchise that had a realistic chance of winning a championship. He made it clear that he regarded the Devils as such a franchise.
"I'm in a good place. I like where I'm at," Parise said then. "[Adam] Larsson's going to be a great player. Adam [Henrique] is coming on. [Ilya Kovalchuk is] going to be here until he's 50. We have a good base, I think, and I like the direction it's going in."

Fight Night Pro Boxing
As with all good boxing, or any confrontational sport, for that matter, Friday night's bouts at Target Center are rife with built-in drama. There's going to be pride and pain on the line as four fighters duke it out for a big pugilistic payday, and plenty of undercard fighters look to make a name for themselves as well. Canadian heavyweight Larry "Razor" Sharpe comes south of the border to take on Duluth's Zach "Jungle Boy" Walters, who not that long ago lost his chance to challenge for the WBC light heavyweight title. But the most noteworthy match pits Joey "Minnesota Ice" Abell against Raphael "The Silencer" Butler. That fight in particular will be gripping and emotional as the fighters' careers are intersecting at Target Center on opposite trajectories. Butler peaked as an amateur back in 2004 when he won the super heavyweight Golden Gloves, but his professional career has been checkered and he has lost his last two fights. Abell, on the other hand, is riding a string of five knockout victories, including three in the first round. Other fights on the eight-bout card include several up-and-coming fighters trying to get their careers going, such as the electric Gary Eyer whose young career is off to a fast 6-0-1 start.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Recently, we have been treated to a number of new scandals from the internet identity parade: "A Gay Girl in Damascus" turned out to be a straight guy in Scotland; "Paula Brooks," a deaf, lesbian, mother of two who ran a lesbian news website, Lez Get Real, turned out to be a man in Washington, D.C.; and Anthony Weiner created a whole cast of characters in a bid to date every attractive female east of the Mississippi.
But these high-profile examples are just the tiniest little tip of an enormous mountain of fake cyber-selves that exist on the Internet. How many there might be is impossible to tell, but if you ask people with lots of experience on the Net, everyone, and I mean everyone, knows a couple dozen of ersatz people they've met online.
"Sometimes it's really easy to spot," says one gamer. "They start to chat and you can tell right now this isn't a 15-year-old girl from Iowa, but probably a 45-year-old ad executive from L.A."
And that is the point of a lot of this kind of play acting. In real life, if you want to pretend to be something you're not in public, it's a lot of work and people are really good at seeing you for a fake right off the bat unless you take considerable pains to hide the real you. On the Internet, you just make stuff up. There's no preparation required and consistency.
In the July 1993 issue of the New Yorker, a cartoon appeared by Peter Steiner depicting two dogs. One was sitting at a computer, saying to another dog sitting on the floor, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog."
This is a very funny image, but it is also very true: more and more people enter the Internet and begin to live dozens of false lives there.
Is there a problem with this? Who knows really. Certainly, it can be an excellent form of recreation, in moderation. However, there is some evidence that fantasy role playing, if practiced to excess, can make people very unhappy. Much like other addictions, play time can leak into real life. People are left feeling dissatisfied with their real lives and long for their imaginary lives. Fake friends can take on greater importance than real people. So called Internet divorces often occur because of the infidelity of a spouse or partner who is having an imaginary affair with an artificial person.
People who get involved in these shadow lives, spend less and less time with real people, real friends and real family. They become less and less connected to and motivated by the real world and begin to live in a fantasy world of scoring points, not building relationships. Much of these games involve petting egos—you pet my character's ego, usually with sympathy, and I pet you back. Unlike real activities with real people, though, these ego boosting sessions create a kind of fake self-esteem that is very temporary and requires constant feeding.
When imaginary things take on real substance in peoples' lives and it begins to produce harm, it is time to take a step back and take a long, hard look at the nature of these games. People invest so much of themselves into these activities, which have no connection to reality. In real life, there are checks and balances, i.e., people will tell you when you get weird. There is no such brake on the cyberworld. There is also no risk, nor any gain in these concoctions. Although, they can be an interesting exercise, they build no character and are no substitute for real experiences.
You can usually tell who is one of these cyber junkies because their communication is in little twitter-like sound bites, with words that sound good but with a disjointed flow of ideas and concepts. They often respond inappropriately to posts, suddenly reacting to things that were not in the original post.
At the end of the day, when the system goes down, it's just electrons and they're left alone and lonely. Game over.

India's State Trading Corp (STC) has received the highest bid at $322 per tonne from Dubai-based trading firm Emmsons Gulf for its wheat export tender, trade sources said on Friday.
Last month, STC floated two global tenders offering 190,000 tonnes of milling wheat for shipments from government warehouses located on the east and west coasts.
The bids received were for 40,000 tonnes of wheat offered at the Chennai port on the east coast, which will be shipped in January, the sources said.
They added the remaining quantity, offered on the west coast, has been reduced by 50,000 tonnes with an extension in the bids closing date. Now, the bids for the rest 100,000 tonnes will close on Jan 10.
Last week, PEC received the highest bid at $324.15 per tonne from Dubai-based trading firm Al Ghurair for its 125,000 tonnes wheat export tender. State-run trading firms such as unlisted PEC, STC, and MMTC have been floating export tenders to ship out wheat from overflowing government warehouses.

"I am thrilled with the outcome of the event. It was a great day," Dana Harris, airport manager, said. "It went better than I could have hoped." Approximately 275 people were fed at the free lunch with estimates of attendance being around 350 people. The Young Eagles had an outstanding day with 52 youth receiving free airplane rides. At a prior event 11 youth were given free rides. Harris said the flights went an hour and 15 minutes longer than expected due to the volume of eager participants at Saturday's event. Thirty-nine aircraft were on display for the event. Harris explained that plans are to have an open house every two years.

Rookie Russell Wilson's performance in the Seahawks' victory over New England should close the argument about whether he should be the team's starting quarterback.
Russell Wilson certainly dressed for the moment. He wore a tuxedo jacket and black tie to his postgame media session Sunday. If he weren't already married, you would've thought he was about to wed his spectacular performance, the first of his fledgling NFL career.
Instead, the rookie quarterback acted as if nothing special had happened. In his presidential manner, Wilson understated the thrills and overstated the simple acts. He's the anti-Richard Sherman. But he's the talk of the town nonetheless.
What did 293 passing yards, three touchdowns and a 13-point comeback in the last seven minutes and 21 seconds do for Wilson? It should close the door on the weekly conversation about whether he's the right starting quarterback for the Seahawks.

Most Read Stories
Don't lock the door and throw the keys into the Puget Sound just yet. Just close it. Get rid of the draft. When you examine Wilson's performance over the past two weeks, his remarkable progress shows he is rewarding the Seahawks for their patience. He's no longer the befuddled young quarterback that he was in the first four games. He's graduating from game manager to game influencer. He has thrown for 514 yards the past two games. He threw for only 594 in his first four.
No, two good games doesn't make him above criticism. It doesn't even make him the quarterback that the Seahawks are certain to build around for the next decade. Wilson has to prove a lot more before he's bulletproof. But his improvement should end the ridiculous overreaction to every bad play he makes, and it should turn down the volume on cries for Matt Flynn to replace him.
For now, at least.
If Wilson stays on the ascent, it will be safe to say "I do" to him as the Seahawks' undisputed leader. He'll be dressed for the occasion.
He has the talent to match, too. He just beat Tom Brady in a game that came down to two quarterbacks slinging. His game-winning, 46-yard touchdown pass to Sidney Rice felt like a seminal play in the Pete Carroll era.
After Rice caught the pass to cap an improbable 24-23 comeback victory over New England, Wilson had tall men everywhere wishing they had stopped growing at 5 feet 11.
"I was in awe, man," said Sherman, the Seahawks' loquacious cornerback. "I was in awe. He was a magician. He was magnificent."
It seems that Wilson would rather you describe him using three less romantic adjectives: determined, focused and prepared.
"I always trust in myself," Wilson said. "My fear is not being prepared enough, and that's what I've always been like."
That's why he impresses the coaches with his willingness to put in long hours and study his craft. No one will outwork Wilson. He is too committed. He is too afraid to flirt with what might happen if he lets up.
His grinder approach is yielding results. Beyond the increased production is an encouraging sign: The Seahawks have emphasized specific areas of improvement each week, and Wilson has responded.
Before the Carolina game, the focus was on third-down conversions. Wilson went out and completed 9 of 10 passes for 75 yards on third down and converted five first downs through the air. The Seahawks were 7 of 14 on third down in that game, well above their 28-percent rate of success in the previous four games.
Before the New England game, the Seahawks emphasized red-zone efficiency and explosive plays. They wound up scoring touchdowns on two of three trips to the red zone, and Wilson completed passes of 46, 50 and 51 yards.
"Coach Carroll did a tremendous job of telling us during the week and talking to me and sitting me down and just saying, 'Hey, maybe we can get a couple of shots here and there when you extend the play,' " Wilson said. "And so we definitely did that."
Can you see why Carroll believes in Wilson so much? He doesn't have an irrational love for the quarterback. He loves him because he's a fast and unrelenting learner.
Wilson still faces an enormous challenge in proving he's a long-term solution. And though he was mostly brilliant and made some electrifying plays Sunday, the Seahawks still had a troubling offensive lull, gaining only 35 yards in the first 21 minutes of the second half.
But then Wilson's determination took over. His teammates noticed and followed his lead.
"The thing I like most about him is when something goes wrong out there, he's not one of those guys that gets down, mopes around," Rice said. "He's always on the sidelines coming up to us, telling us to keep our heads up, stay in the game and be ready to go out and make plays."
He is the ideal quarterback in every way except for height. But as his sartorial splendor indicates, he knows how to look good anyway.

Please supply the correct answer.
The financial effect of having a child with a chronic illness, such as a rheumatic disease, can be significant. The direct medical costs for professional services (doctor fees, occupational and physical therapy fees, lab tests, medications and hospitalizations) can be quite high. Thankfully, many of these costs are usually covered by insurance.
Some insurance providers require you to obtain a referral from your child's primary care physician before your child sees one of our rheumatologists. Referrals may also be necessary before your child can see other specialists or providers (occupational therapists, physical therapists, psychologists). It is important that you keep referrals up to date. Talk with your insurance provider about referral requirements before starting treatment.
In addition to patient referrals, insurance providers will sometimes require prior authorization before covering the costs of equipment, special tests, therapy or certain drugs. Our financial services representative can help you navigate this often confusing process.
Cincinnati Children's has compiled a Special Needs Resource Directory to assist families in dealing with a child's chronic illness. Follow these links to reach information and resources that can help explain insurance issues and assistance as you learn to handle your child's condition:

Getting toddler to bed!
My 2 1/2 year old used to have no problem at bed time, at all. The last 3 weeks it has been a nightmare. He is still in his crib (he has never attempted to get out) and calls out for another kiss or hug, blow his nose, for a drink, tonight it was for a pinecone...he would have us going back and fourth for an hour (or longer) if he had it his way. Now I tell him after I go back in 3 times for another kiss and hug that is the last time and I am not coming back in. I check to see if he needs anything else, give him his final kiss and hug, then I leave and will not go back in. But he will cry and cry and call for me "mommy hug". I had never let him cry it out when he was a baby so it's so hard to do now but again he would have me going back and fourth all night. He was always a great sleeper and we never had this problem before!!! What happened????

I just remembered how I used to put her to bed when she cried. I set the microwave timer and come back at different intervals if she was still crying. 1 min, give hug, put back to bed, then 3min, 5min, 7min 10min, 15min. Twice I had to go to 10min, a few times 7min, most frequently not after 5min.posted 10/07/2011 by Junebug Jr.
Same thing with my kid. She's 2.5yo. I never liked cry it out. Last night I was really sick and needed to get some rest. I went back 3 times, I put a night light in her room, cute little turtle that is cordless. It pained me, she cried out for us for 30m. And was quiet for the rest of the night. Not sure what will happen tonight. Because I've been sick I haven't been able to take her to the park at all this week, so maybe she wasn't as tired.posted 10/07/2011 by Junebug Jr.
Try a new stuffed animal, one like Scout that says his name and talks to him with his favorites will help. Not hat expensive and can be a life saver. Also instead of your standard kiss and hug make it more expressive and playful and give him twenty in a row, change it up and make it fun also try pushing his bedtime back by thirty minutes if it's fairly early. Some kids cry it out just doesn't work. =) Can also try a few other things. Such as have a cup of water ready have him drink before he lays down, have him try to blow his nose etc. Do it all at once just before putting him down for the night.posted 10/07/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

The Bachelorette: Jillian Harris Responds to Julien Hug's Shocking Death
November 05, 2010 07:00 AM by Shayla Perry
We were all shocked to hear about the death of former Bachelorette contestant, Julien Hug. What did Bachelorette Jillian Harris have to say to the ABC reality star's grieving family? Keep reading for all the details.
Julien Hug, a contestant on Season 5 of ABC's The Bachelorette was found dead off of a highway in the Southern California desert. Hug, from SanDiego, was reportedly on his way to help his family with their newest restaurant in Palm Desert, California on Monday, and went missing.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department Deputy confirmed that the body of a "deceased male adult" was found on Wednesday in Pinyon Pines. The Sheriff's Department is not releasing the name of the person, and the manner of death will be released after an autopsy has been completed, but a Hug family spokesperson confirmed to KGTV that the body was in fact the former Bachelorette contestant.
Upon receiving the news of 35-year-old Hug's death, Jillian Harris released a statement.:
"I am completely heartbroken for the Hug family, and my whole heart goes out to them today as they mourn a precious life that ended far too soon. It's very difficult to find the words to express my condolences, but I will always remember Julien's gentle demeanor and kind heart, which will be sadly missed."
On the show, Hug described himself as an adventurer, telling cameras on the Season 5 opener, "The sense of freedom that comes from skydiving is a big thrill."
Despite only making it to the second week of eliminations, Hug told audiences he felt that he had a connection with Jillian Harris, saying, "Jillian and Julien together forever. That sounds great."

Budget Monday : Lakme Absolute Bi-Phased Makeup Remover ~ Review

Hey everyone!
Today I'm reviewing my favorite budget makeup remover – the Lakme Absolute Bi-Phased makeup remover which I've been using since the past few months.
Price : Rs 210 for 60 ml
Buy online HERE.
What Lakme says about the Product :
• A unique formulation of oil & water.
• The oil phase lifts off make-up, while the water phase refreshes and conditions skin without leaving any stickiness.
• Dermatologically tested.
• A make-up remover is designed to break down and rinse away chemicals in make-up that ordinary soaps and face-washes can't.
• It gently takes off all kinds of make-up from the face, even the water-proof ones.
• Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, its effective bi-phase formula effortlessly removes all traces of make-up from the face. Leaving skin feeling fresh and hydrated.
• Shake gently to activate the formulation.
• Apply on a cotton pad and sweep gently over the make-up in a soft, circular motion.
• Wash your face with lukewarm water after removing your make-up, finish with a good moisturizer.
My take on the Product
Like many other pieces from the Lakme Absolute range, I'm a huge fan of this product! For starters, I love the packaging. Not only does it look really nice, the spray pump is really easy to use and controls the quantity of product dispensed. Because of this, the quantity is utilized really efficiently and a 60 ml bottle can easily last you about 2.5-3 months (when you use it 5-6 times a week, 2-3 pumps on a cotton pad each time). With regular bottles (without a pump) – like the Maybelline makeup remover, I always end up with a cotton pad completely soaked in the product while removing the makeup, which is why the remover gets over quite soon.
The product itself is bi-phased i.e it has an oil component and a water component. You need to shake the bottle before use to mix the 2 layers and then use it. The oil component of this remover is really light and non-greasy and even though it leaves a thin film on the skin, it can be easily wiped off. It is super effective in cleaning makeup, removes the most stubborn of long stay lipsticks/eyeliners and waterproof mascara in just 2-3 swipes. It does not sting my eyes, does not dry the skin and doesn't make the eyes cloudy if it gets inside. It can be used all over the face though if you have oily skin like mine, you'd need to follow up with a face wash as it leaves a light film behind. Nevertheless, it has never clogged pores or caused me any breakouts. It has am mild, refreshing scent which doesn't linger. Overall, I love everything about this product! It removes makeup effectively without the need for harsh rubbing and tugging, doesn't sting the eyes and lasts for a long long time! I'm on my second bottle now and I think I'm going to stick to this one! In its price range, it is the best product I've tried!
Long stay kohl, eye pencil, waterproof mascara and long stay lipstick ~
After 1st Swipe with cotton soaked in 2 pumps of remover ~
After 2nd Swipe with cotton soaked in 2 pumps of remover ~
After 3rd Swipe with cotton soaked in 2 pumps of remover ~
The GOOD about Lakme Absolute Bi-Phased Makeup Remover :
- Great packaging – controls amount dispensed hence bottle lasts a long time
- Light, non-greasy texture
- Doesn't sting the eyes
- Doesn't make the eyes cloudy
- Removes all long stay makeup effectively
- Not harsh on the lashes/skin
- Can be used all over the face
- Affordably priced!
The NOT-SO-GOOD about Lakme Absolute Bi-Phased Makeup Remover :
- If using all over the face, you'd need to follow with a face wash as it leaves a thin film behind.
Overall Verdict
Overall, I love everything about this product! It removes makeup effectively without the need for harsh rubbing and tugging, doesn't sting the eyes and lasts for a long long time! I'm on my second bottle now and I think I'm going to stick to this one! In its price range, it is the best product I've tried! Highly recommended!

Hi everyone!
I'm Nick from Pittsburgh, PA. I've been looking to get serious about bikes and most of my internet inquiries have led me to this site, so I decided to join Bike Forums.
As someone with little knowledge or experience in the world of bikes, I'm looking for some advice... Recently had a bike stolen and looking to replace it. I want a decent all around bike that I can use to commute to work as well ride on trails and such. I know this link lacks detailed information, but based strictly on general knowledge, would you guys consider $200 for the bike in this ad to be a good deal?:

That provision of the law, INA 212(a)(1)(A)(iv) is a provision that the visa applicant has been determined in accordance with the regulations of the Secretary of Health and Human Services to be a drug abuser or drug addict and that makes them excludable from the United States.
The Form DSL-851A is not a form that you fill out, it is just the document that lists what I just stated above. Your fiance has been denied a visa because he has been found to be a drug abuser or drug addict.
Here is a link to the form that he would need to use to apply for a waiver (forgiveness):
If he is denied the waiver, then he would have to wait 3 years and apply again and they will test to see if he is clean. I am truly sorry for the bad news.

Jokes & Funny Stuff > LOL
What's the smallest caliber gun you trust?
The question came up: "What is the smallest caliber of gun you trust to protect yourself?
My personal favorite bear defense gun has always been a Beretta Jetfire in .22 short!
I've found over the years when hiking in bear country I never leave without it in my pocket.
Of course we all know the first rule when hiking in the wilderness is to use the "Buddy System". For those of you who may be unfamiliar with this it means you NEVER hike alone. Always bring a friend or companion, even an in-law, that way if something happens there is someone to go get help.
I remember one time hiking with my brother-in-law in northern Ontario. Out of nowhere came this huge brown bear and man was she MAD! We must have been near one of her cubs.
Anyway if I had not had my little jetfire, I'd sure not be here today.
That's right, one shot to my brother-in-law's knee cap and I was able to escape by just walking at a brisk pace.
That's one of the best pistols in my safe!
I once found myself in a conversation with an Alaskan charter captain on this very subject. There had been incidents that week of salmon fishermen in back country rivers being chased. His recommendation was a heavy caliber - a .44 magnum at least.
But, he said, "most people file the front sight all the way flat, flush with the barrel."
Puzzled, I queried "why in the world would they do that?"
His answer - "that way it doesn't hurt as badly when that bear takes the gun away from you, turns you around, and shoves it up your (fill in blank)!"
Okay, okay. He got the tourist fisherman to bite. True story. ;D

Designing Custom Marketing Materials: 5 Things I've Learned in 10 Years
by Guest Author on February 27, 2013
My role as a printer is not only to help entrepreneurs bring their print marketing ideas to life, but to use my years of expertise to help prevent simple mistakes that could lessen the effectiveness of their end product. Not every business owner is a marketer or designer and even fewer are printers themselves, meaning there are many factors that entrepreneurs can easily overlook when creating their marketing materials.
1. Define the purpose of your materials
Print marketing is more efficient when you have a measurable goal in mind. Simply wanting to promote your brand or obtain conversions is too vague of a goal. Your goal should be something you can actually track, such as how many calls you receive after sales meetings when you provide a packet of information.
In order to track these goals, you must spell out precisely what you want your reader to do using an effective call to action such as "call us for a free estimate" or "visit our website for more information." In order to carry out this call to action, your audience will need vital information, such as a phone number or a website URL.
Your audience also wants to be able to find this information as quickly as possible, so make sure your content is easily scanned. Important information like your call to action or even design elements like your logo should be surrounded by whitespace to make them stand out.
2. Importance of shape and texture
Shape and texture are crucial components to print marketing because printed materials are interactive and tangible. Many entrepreneurs stick to pre-existing templates, but custom die-cuts can alter the shape of your media, letting you build your designs from the ground up. The shape of your media should bend to your ideas, not the other way around.
Print media affects two senses at once—both sight and touch. When people interact with your media, their brains create a sense memory associated with the item. If your media has an interesting texture, the sense memory is even stronger. Appealing to the senses is nothing new to marketers, however virtually unused by most brand's print media.
A strong tactile element can come from textured stocks or from special imprint options such as embossing and foil stamping. You can even add special coatings to your print media to change the texture or use spot coating options to create a variety of textures for maximum impact.
3. Brand consistency is crucial
It's not enough to just present your brand in a positive way; you have to strive for brand accuracy and consistency to have truly effective marketing collateral. Your print materials should match your brand's overall appearance, including any other print materials you've recently used. Think of your print marketing materials as a child of your brand—there should be enough similarities so that it looks like they share the same DNA.
Coloring is one of the most common ways that brands create a visual identity; be aware that brand colors require special considerations in printing. Your best strategy is to pick a Pantone color for your brand, since Pantone ink is universal and will not change even if you switch printers or media type.
Consistency isn't just a visual quality—it also relates to tone. Sometimes you have to let go of a clever idea because the tone doesn't fit in with your brand identity. If you are a high-end brand, you wouldn't promote yourself using a fun, vibrant, tongue-in-cheek design because it would be tonally conflicting.
4. Design materials to stand out from the crowd
Over the years, I've seen many entrepreneurs create their marketing material using the same clip art, stock photos and cookie-cutter designs as everybody else. These premade designs can negatively impact the way people perceive your brand and cause confusion when your media looks similar to another brand's media.
Spend the time and money to produce photos and illustrations that are unique to only your brand. This not only helps you to stand out, it helps to better define your identity since you have a greater degree of control over how it looks. If you want to take it a step further, use special effects like embossing, foil stamping and custom die cuts to help maintain a unique look over the competition.
5. Maintain a working relationship with your printer
Your printer is more than just the person who produces the final product—they are a valuable source of information. Talk to your printer ahead of time to know all of the options that are available to you. Every printer is different and may have different requirements or be able to perform different services, so they can help you find the best options to find your brand.
Find out if your printer employs any in-house designers as this can be an easy way to save time and money by having both services completed at the same location. The designers that work with printers are also more experienced at working with the nuances of print design and can either create your media from scratch or offer consulting services to help you improve your pre-existing designs.
Think of the print media that has made an impact on you and analyze what made it so effective. Did the company go out of its way to get your attention or was it simply the perfect representation of the brand? What are some of the qualities you look for in print media? We'd love to hear your answers.

P2 is a road bike right?
i would imagine that the geometry is off for track riding...like bottom bracket height
and the fact that it doesn't have track ends

you COULD do it but I wouldn't
If you were to build it up properly w/ gears and stuff then I would recommend it but it isn't really the right frame for what you want to do

dude, there is NO REASON whatsoever to not buy that frame and fork for 200$. What the hell is wrong with it? Even if you decide not to build it up, and have it sit in ur garage, buy it. Lol.
**** buy it and build a road/tt bike dude!

wtf man, thats a wild steal. the guy sellin it must be on crack.
I wouldn't post a deal like that here. Someone will snatch it up probably.
Dude, you do realize that's an auction and not the actual price of the frame, right? Most likely it will get a lot more expensive...
Lol damn the auctions not over yet? 18 hours left, you're not gettin that thing for under 200$
i'm gonna wait till like 10 mins before auctions over and then hopefully buy it for a reasonable price if it hasnt gone up to far yet
07 Specialized Tarmac, 08 Specialized Transition
there is a first time for everyone.
after the first auction or so, one typically realizes that ten minutes let alone ten hours is an eternity in the snipe fest that is ebay.

My gp gave me prednisone, just a short dose to see if it would help my symptoms. As mentioned before in my previous boards, I havent been diagnosed with Lupus, although its currently under investigation. I felt GREAT for 3 days, as in REALY GREAT, now I just feel normal, no terrible symptoms to complain about. However, I was only given 4 days worth as a trial. I know nothing about this drug, how it works, is it given to people with Lupus?...Is it normal that I should of felt SO good for a short time?...I am a little concerned that my symptoms, ie: muscle aches, stiff joints, feeling very weak, brain fog, sweats, etc etc etc will return. I was on top of the world to suddenly feel so good after many years. My doctor took it upon herself to prescribe this as she felt I was suffering so much at one stage, it may help. I have my first appointment with a Rheumie next month and the Gp said that if this drug worked she will inform him in the hopes it may prove something realy is wrong and I need help.
Can anyone tell me if prednisone does realy help and how long it helps for? All I no is I want to keep feeling good and long may this last...:) :)

- My brother, who's a physician, told me there's a sort of euphoria effect from the early, heavier doses of prednisone. He had asked me how I was feeling soon after I started the prednisone and I replied, "I feel like I could leap tall buildings in a single bound!", a la Superman. Now that I've been on it since early March and am tapered down to 9 mg., I feel more like myself than a superhero. I felt a bit of a let-down until the Plaquenil kicked in after starting it 2-1/2 months earlier.
I hope your rheumatologist takes your reports into consideration. Good luck!#1; Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:03:00 GMT
- prednisone is commonly used to treat Lupus. I feel great on it, and horrible each time my dose is reduced (down to 7.5 mg. per day now). From what I understand, most people feel much better on prednisone. I haven't been off of the prednisone since my DX 1 1/2 yrs. ago, the lowest dose I got down to was 5 mg. per day, then the ds-dna started going up again. While I want to be off of the stuff really badly, I am also afraid of how I will feel without it:cool: .#2; Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:04:00 GMT
- HI, have you gained weight on prenisone? I am currently on Plaquenil and have just started it. I wanted to save the "big guns" for later as I really am concerned about weight gain and the long lasting effects of being on a steroid. I have had a steroid injection for systemic symptoms which seems to have helped and am hoping the plaquenil will kick in. I know that one day prenisone will have to be considered and I am concerned about weight gain. Does that happen on a low dose?#3; Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:06:00 GMT
- hi.. i have been on prednasoine ans am worryed about the long term effects??#4; Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:07:00 GMT
- I haven't gained weight on low dose therapy for prednisone, however, that could be because my lupus is pretty active, and, when I have a fever, I tend to lose weight. I am worried about bone health being poor as a side effect of all of the prednisone I have taken. I will be asking my Dr. to have a bone scan done the next time I see her. When I was on 15 and even 10 mg. a day I did get the fluid retention/moon face. It took about 2 mos. of a lower dose for it to go away.#5; Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:07:00 GMT
- Hi, I am hoping that the plaquenil will help me and I won''t have to consider pregnisone. Thanks for your reply, I am scared about the moon face, I think that would make me more depressed! Janmar#6; Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:08:00 GMT
- Can I ask you all what your starting dosages were and for how long......even on the short term treatment??#7; Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:10:00 GMT
- When I was first dxd, I was in bad shape, so I started, I think at 55 mg. a day. If I remember right it took several months of lessening dosages (Usually evry 1 to 11/2 mos. the dose would be lowered) to reach 5 mg. a day. I think one of the reasons it took so long was that my Dr. wanted time for the plaquenil to build up in my system before lowering the prednisone too much. When I got down to 5 mg. a day, I flared again and had to return to 15 mg. a day, and then/now slowly taper down again. Hopefully I will be able to get all the way off of it now.:rolleyes:#8; Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:10:00 GMT
- My rheumatologist started me out on prednisone to see if it would help my symptoms. I was on 40mg the first 4 days and cleaned my whole house the first day! I had so much energy. Then i would go down 10mg every 4 days till i stopped taking it. By the time i got to the last day i couldn't wait to get off of it. It did totally take away my achyness and fatigue till I got down to 10mgs then it came back,but the side effects were horrible. I had over the top anxiety ,I gained weight, and I was very emotional. My placquinel finally kicked in after a month and now I feel pretty good and i don't feel any need to take prednisone. If at all possible i would try everything else before going on prednisone. Good luck..Kate#9; Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:11:00 GMT
- I have not been diagnosed with lupus yet, but my gp suspects it and is sending me to a rheumatologist in August. However, I am a severe asthamtic and am off and on prednisone often.
I have a question for you all and comments about prednisone.
Q) I was in the hospital in March and on IV steroids (prednisone). I did not have aches and pains in the hospital. However, the doctor sent me home on a tapering dose of prednisone. I took 40mg the first two days and forgot to take any on the 3rd day. Major pain struck my joints!! I could hardly move. I did retrun to my tapering dose and things did improve, but they did not go away entirely. I thought it was because of the prednisone. After reading up on lupus and these boards I am now wondering if it was from tapering too fast or missing that day. Any insight from any of you would be helpful.
I am generally on prednisone for 4 to 6 weeks, then off of it for a month or so and then on it again. So, I have a good perspective of the differences on and off of it.
1.It causes HUNGER--I have no will power, therefore, every time I am on prednisone I gain weight--Some people have more will power than I and won't have a problem.
2. Moon face--I do not get this as much as my daughter does when she is on it, but my face does get slightly puffy--My daughter and I can look at her pictures and tell when she was on prednisone and when she was not--It does go away once you are on a lower dose or off of it all together.
3. Major mood swings--I am happy one minute and angry the next. I t is like mega PMS as far as moods go.--I always warn my husband when I know I will be on high doses becasue I am very crabby.
4. I am going to the opthalmologist on Friday because my gp suspects I have cataracts--which he says can be caused from prednisone
5. Through the years I have learned that prednisone also can cause (or make worse) diabetes; weakens your bones; damages your teeth; causes hot flashes; causes heart burn; palpitations;swelling
Now, having said all this. If I do not take prednisone, my asthma continues getting worse, I cannot breathe and I will die. Lesser of two evils? Prednisone. I have a feeling that it is going to be the same with lupus.
So, is it an evil drug? Yes. But it is one that is neccessary in many cases.#10; Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:13:00 GMT

As many as 4.8 million Democrats may soon be voting by mail. Democrats have two options left: the mail vote or the Clinton and Obama
campaigns cutting a deal to allot Florida's delegates. The latest cost
of a mail-in election is now estimated at between 8 and ten million
dollars. State Senator Steve Geller says a decision must be made by
"This is really, according to federal law and all the court rulings, the
Democrats can conduct the vote anyway we want to," Sen. Geller (D-Broward County, FL) says.
Latest plans now call for no state involvement in a mail in vote what so
Democrats still have more questions than answers. Questions like whether to send one ballot or two and who will pay.
There are a host of other questions to be answered as well.
Governor Charlie Crist continues to call for the January 29th vote to be
honored. Few now think it will be. Still, he doesn't regret moving the
primary up.
"It certainly has put Florida in the forefront. And Florida continues to
be there and I think that they did exactly the right thing," Crist says.
One option being floated is for the candidates to agree on splitting
Florida's delegates, and while the governor has no say, Charlie Crist
says he doesn't like the idea.
"It doesn't seem to me that honors the will of the people," he says.
No matter what Democrats do, they risk handing the GOP ammunition to use against them in November.
Another obstacle for Democrats is that their bylaws do not address how the decision on the delegates will be made. One thing is clear, though, they would like the matter settled sooner rather than later.

What if I told you that Isabella Rossellini, the lovely actress and model with the delicate Italian accent, likes to dress up in wacky costumes and play a variety of creatures in heat? Lascivious shrimp? A seductive snail? An amorous anchovy?
Rossellini has portrayed all those and many other forms of life in "Green Porno," her zany yet scientifically sound conservation online series on the Sundance Channel site. She stars in, writes and directs the videos, and also penned a "Green Porno" book that includes a DVD.
So how did this top model and co-star of "Blue Velvet" and other major movies come to make some 40 two-minute biology shorts? And develop a touring, one-woman "Green Porno" show which she'll perform Monday night (Nov. 4) in Seattle at the Moore Theatre?
We put those questions, and others, to the good-humored Rossellini during a recent phone interview.
- Seattle fifth-graders will get their camp trip, but teachers refuse to go
- Five things to watch as Seahawks begin OTAs Monday
- What the national media are saying about Robinson Cano and the Mariners' hot start to the season

Most Read Stories
Q: So what compelled you to create "Green Porno"?
A: It was my interest in animals. I was kind of born with that. I went back to school to do a master's degree in conservation and animal behavior, and it's an ongoing interest of mine. The people who knew me as a model or actress didn't know about this until recently. But my family was not surprised.
Q: The films are all about mating and procreation. Why did you go there?
A: I'm interested in animals in general. But everyone is curious about sex, and we thought, let's focus on that. That's the only way we could get people interested!
Q: How much are you amusing and entertaining people and how much are you delivering messages about conservation and ecology?
A: Sometimes people call and ask if we'd make a film that has more of a direct conservation message. Like I've done one about bees, which are endangered and we need them to pollinate crops. So I did a series on them with Burt's Bees. But there's always a comical element. Most people think the videos are funny and informative.
Q: I understand your adult son, Roberto Rossellini, has appeared in a video.
A: He played one of the bees. Sometimes I grab family members and dress them up and turn them into an animal. My daughter [Elettra, whose father is Microsoft executive Jonathan Wiedemann] did something for it too.
Q: Your latest "Green Porno" video series, "Mammas," focuses on mothering and the maternal instinct in the animal world.
A: It was based on research by Marlene Zuk, a University of Minnesota professor, and other women biologists. There was very little scientific research on motherhood, and a lot of our ideas were based on the assumption that all females need to self-sacrifice for their babies. But the new research found that there are different ways of being mothers, and in some species mothers don't sacrifice at all. I was very interested in this, and asked Marlene to help write the series.
Q: Your mother was the famous actress Ingrid Bergman, and she didn't sacrifice her career for motherhood, right?
A: Yes, and thank God for that! My mom was an independent woman, she had a big career and she had four children. She did this at the time when it was very unusual, and sometimes condemned. She was a very big role model for me, and I'm absolutely grateful to have had the mother I had.
Q: What is the live version of "Green Porno" like?
A: It looks like a lecture. I stand at a podium. The monologue, which was written with a great writer, Jean-Claude Carrière, is about 70 minutes. It's comical, but allows me to go into more depth in my reflections on biology. The show is illustrated with some of the pictures of me playing different animals.
Q: You're busy with this project, so have you given up acting in films and TV?
A: No, but there are very few good parts for women my age [61], and one gets tired of waiting, waiting for jobs. So why not do my own films, instead of just waiting? It's very interesting, and I'm doing what I like.

New World Generation: New World GenerationCD [2CD]
Add to cart
Product Details
SummaryRare and unreleased late 70s and early 80s disco, soul and boogie recorded by a cult New England ensemble.
We're well aware of soul's transitional period of the mid to late 70s; we've studied the era during which funk ensembles transformed into disco bands or, worse yet, disbanded when disco DJs supplanted them in the nightclubs that paid for their daily bread. That said, we generally shy away from the soul music - now referred to as "boogie" but, in the past, referred to as "modern soul" - that became popular in the wake of this change. Unless, that is, the music is superb and makes us pause. That's how we ended up with New World Generation.
Phil Morrison, bassist for avant-garde, Boston-based jazzers Stark Reality, sent us a copy of New World Generation's solitary recorded document: a five song EP that the band, under Morrison's guidance, privately released in 1982. We heard echoes of the Roy Ayers produced RAMP sessions and the precise yet sensual vibes of the foundation known as Earth, Wind and Fire. We were intrigued. So we put in a call to New World Generation's bandleader, Lekan Parsons and found that he had recorded more music in the years leading up to the New World Generation EP. But he'd recorded with different ensembles. He promised to dig out his masters and send them to us for our consideration. It took years for him to collate the various components of the first phase of his recording career, which stretched from New York to Boston over the course of a decade. When he did send the music, we were thrilled. The songs he'd recorded with the Universal Rhythms and Orison ensembles were harbingers of the sophisticated soul he'd proffer with New World Generation. They were winsome, hopeful songs - and their existence offered us the chance to present an album.
This album's title - also New World Generation - references the faith that carried Parsons through the difficult and demoralizing times accomplished musicians like he and his freinds experienced in a post-disco world, as big bands like his were left on the side of the trail to desiccate and die. The album you hold in your hands didn't have to be: Presented now, for the first, time, as a 2LP and a double CD with bonus tracks, we're thankful that Lekan held on, so that we can present his vision for a New World now.
