It's safe to say that I still have MANY more things to learn about the way things work in Buenos Aires, but I thought it would be helpful to others to share some useful tips that I have learned over the past few weeks. It's always good to do some research and prepare yourself for a big trip abroad and Buenos Aires is full of many other wonderful surprises that you likely will not even see coming. There are also other things that you should know ahead of time that will help make your transition into porteño (Buenos Aires local) life much smoother. The following is meant to provide you with a little "heads up" about what you can expect in Buenos Aires:
- US citizens traveling to Argentina need only a valid passport to enter the country on a tourist visa which is valid for up to 90 days (if planning trips to enter Paraguay and/or Brazil, you will need to obtain separate visas for entry into these countries). However, also know that you will have to pay US $140 when entering the country as an entry fee, but it is valid for up to 10 years. You can pay this fee with a credit card, cash, or travelers cheque. Travelers from Canada will have different requirements for entry and information can be found here.
- Speaking of credit cards, you should inform your credit card company and/or bank that you will be traveling outside of the country so that they do not place a "hold" on your card when you use it. It might also be a good idea to bring two if you can. I leave one in a safe place at home just in case I lose my wallet or some sly pickpocket gets the better of me.  This way you will still have backup access to money. Also, be aware that some US banks and credit card companies charge an international fee for using your card outside of the country.
- Organize a ride from the airport to wherever you are going before leaving the States. One trust-worthy transportation option is Manuel Tienda Leon and there are several other good services online that offer similar prices. You can expect to spend about US $45-$55, and it is well worth the money instead of trying to negotiate a taxi in Spanish or attempting to take all your luggage on a bus. The latter is likely just a recipe for disaster.
- Many businesses in Buenos Aires prefer cash instead of credit cards, so it might be a good idea to bring dollars with you. If you go to an exchange house, you can typically get a better exchange rate than many banks here, so your dollar goes further. It's important to know that most people here want dollars, but everybody pays for stuff in pesos; don't expect to pay your taxista (taxi driver) or buy your lunch/dinner with dollars. ATMs only dispense pesos as well (as far as I can tell). I would suggest also avoiding exchanging money at any airport regardless of where you are, because the exchange rate is usually not as good.
- If you plan on using a cell phone while you are here, I recommend that you read this blog entry. I was not prepared with the intricacies of getting a working phone set up here, so plan ahead if you think you might need one here.
- Speaking of phones, it's good to know that electronics in Buenos Aires and all of Argentina are fairly expensive which was a bit unexpected for me. If you want to buy an iPhone/iTouch/iPad, new laptop, TV, etc. when you get here, you might want to think about buying something in the States/Canada first. You will probably save yourself some money. Also, you will need power converters for the electrical outlets in Buenos Aires, but you can get inexpensive ones at many ferreterias (hardware store) in the city. This site gives you a pretty good explanation for what/why/how.
- Depending on where you want to go, your main options in the city are walking/biking, taxis, Subte (subway), trenes (trains), and buses (colectivos).
- WALK/BIKE: Buenos Aires is a very walkable city, but it is also HUGE so bring a good pair of walking shoes. Riding a bike can help you cover a lot of ground as well, but Buenos Aires is a big city with a lot of traffic so take caution.
- TAXI: Taxis are everywhere and are relatively cheap compared to the US (average fare is 30 pesos or ~US $7-$8), but they can add up after awhile depending how often you use/need them.
- SUBTE: The Subte system has 5 different lines (A, B, C, D, E) that all start in El Centro (downtown) and spread out in different directions. Â There is another line (H) that runs perpendicular to a few of the lines and is currently being expanded into the Recoleta neighborhood. Â The system is very easy to navigate and each ride is only AR $2,50 pesos which is a great deal for getting around quickly.
- TREN: The Tren is a great way to explore some of the nearby suburbs outside of the city like San Isidro and Tigre in Zona Norte which makes for fun day trips. It can also be a good way to get around the city, but the other options listed here are typically the better choice. Tickets for the train are somewhere between $1-$2 pesos, so it's a bargain for sure.
- COLECTIVO: The colectivo system is a bit overwhelming, but for the more adventurous travelers, it is an excellent way to get around the city on the cheap (~AR $1,20 pesos per ride). Do yourself a favor and get a bus guide (called a Guia-T) and do your best to figure it out when you get here. The buses also run 24 hours a day although not as regularly during the wee hours of the morning.
- This blog provides some helpful information for travel tips within the city.
- Practice Spanish before coming here if you can, even if you plan on taking classes here.  Every little bit helps and it's good to get a head start. Even just learning some basic phrases and everyday vocabulary can save you a lot of unnecessary headaches. Trust me.
- Read up on the culture and history of Buenos Aires and Argentina as a country. Not only is it interesting, but you will appreciate it much more when you arrive and feel more comfortable in your surroundings. Many different guidebooks (i.e. Lonely Planet) include a brief history in their introduction, plus they are just good books to have for any trip abroad. My only suggestion is that you should avoid trying to live or die by the books and be adventurous enough to discover places that aren't mentioned in the books.
- HAVE FUN! Buenos Aires is an amazing city with tons to discover and is full of great people from all over the world.  There are endless amounts of things to experience including the boliches (night clubs), the incredible wines, the delicious foods, the many museums, the beautiful parks, the futbol games, the polo matches, the asados (Argentine BBQ's), the mate (Argentine drink similar to tea), the milongas (tango dance halls), and that is all just the tip of the iceberg in Buenos Aires. Argentina is a huge country with much much more to offer. I have heard it is a wonderful place from everyone who has been here, and I now know it to be true so take advantage of your time here!

Baby name application - Android
Hello everyone!
I think that everyone here is having the same dilemma as me regarding your future baby name.
I wanted to share with you guys this application I found on android: Baby name - Simple!
This app has so many names, and it really helped me finding a very cute name for my baby "Dainan", "The kind hearted".
I hope it help you all,

I just tried the app and though it does have a lot of names, the meanings often times don't seem right to me. I'd always look them up in a more trustworthy source like behindthename.com.
I can't find Dainan anywhere, I have no idea where "the kind hearted" would come from. I'd check that if the meaning is important to you.

I had a doubt about the meaning, so I did some research and it came out that the meaning of the name was the same as other websites (e.g: http://www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Dainan).
I guess that the application may not give as detailed definition as the website you suggested, but I like this application because it gives me many ideas quickly.

The Japan Football Association officially named Bosnian Vahid Halilhodzic as Japan's new national team manager on Thursday.
The 62-year-old, who led Algeria to the last 16 of last summer's World Cup in Brazil, succeeds Mexican Javier Aguirre, who was fired in February after a match-fixing case naming him as a defendant was accepted by a Spanish court.
Halilhodzic has worked for various clubs and national teams — mainly in France and Africa — over an 18-year managerial career, winning the French Cup with Paris Saint-Germain in 2004 and leading both Cote d'Ivoire and Algeria to World Cup qualification.
Halilhodzic is scheduled to arrive in Japan on Friday, and JFA technical director Masahiro Shimoda confirmed that the new man has received his working visa and will lead the team in friendlies against Tunisia and Uzbekistan on March 27 and 31, respectively.
"We collected information on a lot of managers, but when we considered results and experience and then met them in person, Halilhodzic was the first person we wanted to negotiate with," said Shimoda, who led the JFA's search.
"He turned down offers from big clubs to take the Japan national team job. He is very motivated and hungry to take on this new project with Japan."
Halilhodzic is known as a strict disciplinarian who expects his players to meet his high standards, and Shimoda believes his methods will work well with the Japanese team.
"He's a very serious, demanding manager who never cuts corners," said Shimoda. "Our analysis is that Japanese players are even more receptive to that kind of approach than African players. He doesn't cut any corners when it comes to winning.
"He knows enough about the Japanese players in Europe already — we don't have to tell him anything there. If he can use the strong points and correct the weak points of the Japanese players then we can raise our standing in world football. Japanese players are very diligent and team-oriented, and he has those strengths in mind for the team."
Halilhodzic, who also holds a French passport, arrives with French coach Jacky Bonnevay and physical coach Cyril Moine, while Spanish goalkeeping coach Ricardo has been retained from Aguirre's staff.
Shimoda refused to disclose details of Halilhodzic's contract, but denied reports that Bosnian former Japan manager Ivica Osim had played a part in his compatriot's appointment.
"I saw reports that Halilhodzic had been put forward by Osim, but I didn't have any special discussions with him," said Shimoda. "I wanted to meet Osim but I wasn't able to.
"I didn't want to meet him so that he could recommend the next manager — I just wanted to ask his opinion of the national team from the outside. I went to speak to him on general terms but unfortunately I couldn't meet him."
The JFA was determined to have Aguirre's replacement in place for this month's friendlies in Oita and Tokyo, giving the new man time to bed in before the World Cup qualifiers begin in June.
The JFA is trying to right the ship after having its fingers badly burned by the Aguirre affair, which saw the governing body fire the Mexican after judging that the match-fixing investigation would have a negative effect on the national team.
JFA president Kuniya Daini took a voluntary three-month, 50 percent pay cut and Shimoda and secretary-general Hiromi Hara took 30 percent voluntary cuts despite the JFA executive committee exonerating all three of any blame, with Shimoda even offering his resignation until Daini persuaded him to stay on.
"When Aguirre was fired, it's true that I told my feelings to the president," said Shimoda. "But we had the March friendlies and the World Cup qualifiers in June, and the national team doesn't stop. It was my responsibility to find a new manager and I had to fulfill that.
"Now Halilhodzic is coming here for a new project, and it's up to me to provide him with support."

Joseph Dispenza
She was the most beautiful of all Olympians — the goddess of love, grace, and beauty. You may remember that when young Paris, Prince of Troy, was asked to award the Golden Apple "To the Fairest," he handed it without hesitation to Aphrodite.
Her name in Greek is derived from two words, Aphro (foam) and Dite (born), which indicates that she originated from the sea. Actually, there are two different stories concerning her origin. In The Iliad she is the daughter of Zeus and the Titaness Dione. Most poets after the time of Homer tell how she was born from the combination of the sea and Uranus' body pieces. After Kronos threw his father's parts into the sea, the waves swirled a mass of foam to create this goddess.
Aphrodite had a marvelous quality. As the goddess of love, she roamed the world giving and accepting love. But whenever she bathed, she was restored to her virginal state.
The ancients used Aphrodite as a metaphor for personal transformation and perpetual renewal. They knew that we had within us the power to restore ourselves, to get back on the path when we fell off, and to regenerate and revitalize our lives. We are hard-wired, it appears, for constant renewal.
Undertaking your own renewal might sound like a daunting task, but even a few simple activities or changes of attitude can add up to a whole new way of showing up to the world — and to yourself.
Some Suggestions
Get some rest. 'Beauty rest' restores your body to balance, offers a respite to frayed nerves, calms and heals the emotions, and brings a sense of peace and well-being to the soul. A good night's rest — and some daytime napping, also — actually can make you healthier in body, mind, and spirit…and your health will shine forth as beauty.
Create yourself as your Best Self. You have the magic power to be the highest form of yourself. To do this, you need only take a short step. Sit quietly and say to yourself: "I am here. I am showing up. I am ready, willing, and – most of all – able to become my Best Self." Then, stay centered and empty, and wait for some response…some indication that, since you have taken the first step, all the rest will now unfold effortlessly. Sometimes it comes in the form of a deep breath or a sudden feeling of contentment. Take some time each day to show up for the transformative energy that is coursing through you right now. Feel it. Know that you are already your Best Self.
Write a mission statement for your life. Then question if — in light of the mission statement — you are on the right path. If not, seek ways to get onto the right path by asking what you want to be (not "do") for the rest of your life and what steps you need to take to make that a reality.
Express yourself emotionally. Self disclosure (expressing your feelings to others) has been found to improve physical health, enhance the immune system, reduce cardiovascular complications, and may even prolong life." Plus, taking care of your "emotional business" has been found to be extremely freeing. So what are you waiting for?
Cancel negative thoughts and think positive. Cognitive psychologists have found that of the approximately 50,000 thoughts we have each day, about 90 percent are the same ones we had the day before, and many of them are negative. One way to reverse this is to listen to your thoughts. If you notice that most of your thoughts are negative, such as "This situation will never get better" or "I'm trapped in this job," you must consciously stop and rethink these into positive terms. Instead say, "I can take steps to improve this situation," or "I can choose to leave this job, make it better or reframe my perception."
Get a massage. Once considered a luxury, massages are now seen by many as an important tool for renewal. And with good reason, according to new research. Studies have confirmed that massage has many health-boosting effects including reducing heart rate; lowering blood pressure; increasing blood circulation and lymph flow; relaxing muscles; improving range of motion; boosting the immune system; and increasing endorphins, not to mention increased mental and emotional well-being. Mentally, massage provides a relaxed state of alertness, reduces mental stress, and enhances capacity for calm thinking and creativity. Emotionally, massage satisfies the human need for a caring and nurturing touch, creates a feeling of well-being, and reduces anxiety levels.
When it came to how life works — and how we work as humans — the ancient mythmakers had enormous insight, and great wisdom. At the start of this new year, good luck on your own path of renewal.

The Home Altar: Making Where You Live a Sacred Space
If you have been on a LifePath Retreat, you already know how important we believe altars are: everyone who makes a retreat with us receives a small personal altar to use during the retreat and to take home afterwards.
The Long History of Altars
For eons, stretching back into prehistory, people have been making altars where they live, turning their domestic place into a sacred space.
Wherever archeologists have discovered evidence of human habitation, the remains of altars have also been found. Sometimes the altars are nothing more than animal sculls honored with flower petals or precious stones. Sometimes they are elaborate affairs with gold fittings and drawings depicting people worshipping the sun, the moon, and the stars.
In ancient Rome, every home, no matter how humble or grand, had an altar, and every altar held the special god-protectors of the home. These 'penates,' or household gods, were small statues or paintings of gods and goddesses whose presence in the house (usually above or near the hearth) gave the house and everyone under its roof spiritual protection. If someone in the home fell ill, or if some domestic crisis emerged, the family flocked to the penates on the home altar to ask for divine assistance.
What Altars Do
An altar is an external representation of an interior mystery — the spiritual core of who we really are. It is a way of showing in tangible form what is happening in our hearts. When you look at an altar, you are seeing an outward expression of an inner act that recognizes our spiritual character. And it is a depiction of our own personal honoring of our spiritual selves.
An altar in the home is a special acknowledgment of our home as our safe harbor and our sacred space. It elevates the place where we live to a temple, a spiritual location wherein we, spiritual beings, dwell. We do not have to be in crisis to feel the comforts of a home altar. In fact, keeping an altar in the home and using it as a focus for simple spiritual practice may will preclude crises from visiting a household.
How to Set Up a Home Altar
Begin with a bookshelf or a dedicated small table top, then cover it with a plain white cloth, or a piece of material that might have some significance for you — for instance, one of our LifePath Alumni uses a fringed shawl handed down from her great-grandmother as her altar cloth.
One of the ways to create a home altar is to use earth elements and imagery as a basis. The four elements are fire, water, earth, and air. Having these represented on your altar will tend to 'ground' the sacred place, and show that your personal spirituality has a profound relationship to the physical universe, and in particular to our home planet. Fire can be represented by candles; water by a bowl of water in which you might float a flower petal; earth can be symbolized by a rock; and air by incense.
Once you have grounded your sacred space, you can begin to add items that are meaningful to you: photographs of loved ones, living or departed; tokens that remind you of particular achievements or life events; objects, such as keys or jewelry, that carry for you messages of the spirit.
Your home altar can be a center for prayer, reflection, meditation, or some other spiritual practice. But it can also just BE. It has its own energy to sanctify your entire home. As you pass by your altar every day, you will be blessed by that radiating energy.
When you create a home altar, you are doing something ancient. You are getting in touch with ancestors that stretch back to the dawn of time. Humankind knew early on that it had a connection to the divine, and honored that connection by making the place they lived in a sacred space. When you do the same, you are celebrating both that spiritual connection and the ancestors who bequeathed the tradition of home altars to us down through the ages.
Share Your Experience with Altars
If you already have a home altar, let us know by email how you have created it, what you have on it, and how you use it. We will pass your comments along to others, suggesting ways they might build and use their own altars. Email your altar experience to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Graduate Seminar

"Shape Effect in Catalysis: Nanoshapes as Catalyst and Catalyst Support"
Heterogeneous catalysis takes place on the surface of catalytic materials and undoubtedly the surface structure plays an essential role in catalysis. Establishing the structure-catalysis relationship is the Holy Grail in fundamental catalysis research and the basis or designing better catalytic materials. However, the structural complexity and heterogeneity of traditional catalysts prevents a full understanding of the interplay between the surface structure and catalytic behaviors.
Recent advances in nanomaterials synthesis make it possible to achieve nanocrystals with crystallographically defined surface facets and high surface area, which can be considered as ideal model catalysts for catalytic studies under realistic conditions. In this presentation, I will showcase how we can make use of ceria nanoshapes as both catalyst and catalyst support to gain molecular level understanding of the shape effect in catalysis through a combination of detailed in situ spectroscopic and kinetic studies. Insights have been gained into how the surface structure of ceria catalyst affects its redox and acid-base properties and those of ceria-supported catalyst.
It is suggested that the surface structure of ceria controls the catalytic performance through the structure-dependent surface sites geometry, lattice oxygen reactivity, surface vacancy formation energy, defect sites and coordinatively unsaturated sites on ceria. The study provides fundamental basis for both the improvement of current heterogeneous catalysts and the design of highly efficient catalyst via shape control without changing the catalyst composition.
Dr. Zili Wu is currently a research staff member with a joint appointment between Chemical Sciences Division and the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. He earned his PhD in Physical Chemistry in 2001 from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Dalian, China. From 2003-2006 Dr. Wu did his Postdoctoral Research in Chemistry at Northwestern University.
Dr. Wu is a member of several professional societies which include the American Chemical Society, North American Catalysis Society. He is a Journal reviewer for many journals including the Journal of American Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, Catalysis Communications, and the Journal of Catalysis.

Morning Read: Easier train travel between Montreal and North Country?
U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Canadian officials have tentatively agreed to end the two-hour inspection and screening delays at St. Lambert in Quebec.
The deal still needs final U.S. and Canadian approval. But new screening facilities in Montreal are being built for Customs and Border Patrol agents to complete prescreenings and end the need to stop at St. Lambert.
Schumer says Amtrak has agreed to no longer making the extra stop once the new facilities are approved and operating.
The North Country Chamber of Commerce says the move is a major economic step toward creating what it calls border fluidity.
Making the trip a bit quicker might make it…feasible. Currently, a train ride from Plattsburgh to Montreal takes about four hours and gets you into the city at 7pm. That trip includes a nearly two-hour stop at the border.
By car, the drive takes about an hour and fifteen minutes.

In the race for Place 6 on the 13th Court of Appeals, two Republicans – including one who recently had a change of heart about which race to enter – are competing for a chance to challenge the Democratic incumbent in November 2014.
Doug Norman (pictured), an assistant district attorney in Nueces County, originally filed his appointment of a campaign treasurer to run for Place 3 on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. But by the time the filing period opened on Nov. 9, Norman had set his sights on another race: Place 6 on the 13th Court of Appeals, which sits in Corpus Christi and Edinburg.
Norman says one reason he decided against running for the CCA seat is that his home is in Corpus Christi and it would be a burden for his four children to move to Austin.
A 1987 graduate of the University of Texas School of Law, Norman says he worked as an attorney at the 13th Court for about a dozen years, including 10 years as staff counsel, before joining the Nueces County District Attorney's Office in 2000.
Corpus Christi solo Bradford M. Condit will face Norman in the Republican primary. Condit says he received his law degree in 1983 from South Texas College of Law and has been a civil trial lawyer for 30 years.
The winner of the Republican primary will oppose Justice Dori Contreras Garza, the Democratic incumbent. A 1990 graduate of the University of Houston Law Center, Garza says she has served almost 11 years on the 13th Court and feels like she is doing a good job on the court.
"I would much rather go unopposed, but it looks like that's not going to happen," Garza says.
The filing deadline for the 2014 primary elections is Dec. 9.

After scoring three touchdowns, snagging a shutout-saving interception and handling his postgame interview like a seasoned spokesman, Jordan Ingerson found his father among the crowd of 400 or so in the stands at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Frewsburg's 5-foot-8, 155-pound junior running back stood tall and shouted "MVP," punching his chest while his father returned a proud thumb's up.
"The energy from this stadium is unbelievable," Ingerson said. "I just want to play football for the rest of my life."
Ingerson and the Bears made memories that will last a lifetime Saturday morning, dominating Cattaraugus-Little Valley on both sides of the ball in a 33-0 win in the Section VI Class DD championship game.
"All of us came together as a team," Ingerson said. "That's bigger than words. That's family. That's love. That's love for the game of football."
Frewsburg (6-3) avenged a regular season loss to Cattaraugus/Little Valley (7-2) in winning its first sectional title since 1993.
As Class DD champions, the Bears won't advance to state playoffs, but they will savor the season-ending victory after losing the Class D title game here two years ago.
"In 2011 we stood in that tunnel after a loss to Maple Grove and were devastated," Frewsburg coach Terry Gray said. "I told the kids this was their opportunity to avenge that, put the banner on the wall and finish the year playing your best football. And we did that today."
The Bears dominated on defense, allowing just 70 yards and four first downs. The Timberwolves didn't gain a first down until the final minute of the first half, and didn't gain another one until late in the fourth quarter when the outcome had long been decided.
"How 'bout them Bears," said Ingerson, who intercepted a pass with 1:24 remaining after the Timberwolves had crossed midfield.
"That's Frewsburg football. Fundamental, sound defense. That's the way we were coached and that's the way we came out here on the biggest stage of them all."
"Our defense played physical, played hard, kept us in the game," Gray said. "We didn't make many adjustments from two weeks ago. We just played better."
Frewsburg drove 80 yards on its first possession and took a 6-0 lead on Ingerson's seven-yard scoring run.
The Bears offense sputtered for the rest of the half before Trevor Spicer recovered a fumble on the 6-yard-line, and Ingerson scored on the next play to make it 12-0 with 1:51 left in the half.
Frewsburg opened the second half with an onside kick recovered by Ingerson, and took an 18-0 lead six plays later on a two-yard run by quarterback Brady Coliver.
On a fourth down play in the fourth quarter, Ingerson caught a 26-yard bomb from Coliver while leaping backward over the goal line to make it 25-0.
Ingerson said he felt like his favorite NFL player, LeSean McCoy, on that play.
"He had a great day," Gray said. "He is probably one of the hardest-working kids on our team and he doesn't get rattled mentally. For him to come out in this game, as a junior, and make the plays he did, I'm not surprised. He's earned it."
Freshman backup quarterback Cordell O'Brien scored the final touchdown on an eight-yard run with 34 seconds left.
Kevin Rogers led Frewsburg's rushing attack with 63 yards on 10 carries. Ingerson gained 60 yards on 14 carries and picked up another 55 yards on two receptions. Nick Long rushed for 27 yards on three carries, as The Bears totaled 171 yards on the ground.
Coliver, a sophomore, was 6 of 10 passing for 147 yards and one touchdown.
The Timberwolves were penalized nine times for 127 yards, nullifying any offense they were able to muster.
Quarterback Justin Forster scrambled for 44 yards on 22 attempts and completed one pass for six yards.

text: While reading most of the comments on Leinart, I've been going back to watch a bunch of his games, including: - The comeback victory against ND in 05 - The 06 Rose Bowl vs VY - The three games in 08 - two of which saw him coming in when the scores were already settled (Vikings and Pats) and a meaningless game in week 17 (Seahawks). - His first PS game in 2010, as a Cardinal, against us (the Texans) - And the 4 PS games this year. (I don't have any of his games in 09) I feel quite a bit more confident now about him as a QB for us. I believe he will be alright; on the other hand, we still have to play the games.

Do you want to explode your twitter influence? Here are 10 quick twitter growth hacks that can help you.
When I started off on Twitter many years back, I never understood why over 20k followers started following me, but when I analysed all the stuff that I had done, I realised that I had to share my strategies now to the world.
1. Build Social Proof
The first thing I did was share social proof of all the success that I was having in the twitter universe. As my followers were gradually cross the 5k and 10k mark I started to share this with my email lists and other social media profiles.
2. Use Teasers
This strategy has helped me generate a lot of clicks to my website and landing pages. With 140 characters, the best you can to create content which generates just enough curiosity for people to click thru.
3. LIVE Tweeting From Events
The best part about twitter that you can tweet from anywhere. I especially use twitter when I'm at live events and conferences. This way my followers are able to know about all the different fun stuff I do outside. This is one cool strategy that helps build a better connect with your followers.
4. Start Connecting With Influencers Daily
My daily routine on Twitter is to manually connect with at least 5-10 influencers. According to me an influencer is anyone who has more than 100,000 followers and who have an active presence on Twitter. I also 'direct message' influencers building a connect with them. I also use Twitterfeed to tweet some of the influencers' blogs.
5. Repeat Your Best Content Regularly
I have written over 300 blogs in the last 4 years, and I kind of have an idea on which posts get most traction. What I do is regularly tweet my best blog posts repeatedly. I use schedulers like Bufferapp and TwitterFeed to make my life easier.
6. Tweet Video Content
Some of you who have been following me on Youtube know that I have quite a bunch of videos on my Youtube channel. What I do is regularly tweet some of my best videos and especially the ones that particularly done well on Youtube.
7. Tweet Other Peoples' Content
If you just browse my twitter feed, you'll notice that I usually tweet a lot of others peoples' content. This generates a lot of positive digital karma. 🙂
8. Flock To Unlock Campaigns
I haven't used too much of this strategy, but I've heard a lot of big twitter users use Flock to Unlock campaigns to exponentially grow their follower base.
9. Tweet Exclusive Content
Sometimes it helps to keep some of your content exclusive to twitter only. You can use this to your advantage by tweeting exclusive offers only for yout twitter followers base, and not on Facebook or Google+ necessarily.
10. User Twitter Search Extensively
Not many know about the power of 'twitter search'. I usually use this feature to find the best tweets, to find key influencers to follow and also finding trending hash tags to use in my tweets.
So these are my 10 ninja Twitter strategies!
Hope you liked this post. Share your comments below.

Hey everyone. I'm a bit of a lurker, but I've got a question: We've got a database with a table with items of type "var" in them, and it seems that it's not unlimited, but rather, about 8k. Is there a way to fix this without switching to a recent beta version? Is there a work around? -- Adam Bultman Icon Multimedia 616-836-7213

But there's no plug and no problem with fueling the 2013 version of this Chevrolet, because it comes with a gasoline-sipping, internal combustion, four-cylinder engine. (An electric Spark is planned for 2014.)
While the 2013 Spark doesn't rival the government fuel economy numbers of electric cars, its top government mileage rating of 32 miles per gallon in city driving and 38 mpg on the highway for a manual transmission model put it ahead of many competitors.
For example, the best government mileage rating for the 2013 Honda Fit hatchback, which is similarly sized to the Spark, is 27/33 mpg with manual transmission.
Also of note: The Spark can come with high-tech features such as smartphone integrated navigation, Pandora personalized Internet radio, Stitcher Internet news broadcasts and Bluetooth audio streaming.
New for 2013, the five-door Spark hatchback also is Chevy's only subcompact car and carries the lowest starting retail price of the brand.
Starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $12,995 for a base 2013 Spark LS with five-speed manual transmission and 84-horsepower four cylinder. The lowest starting retail price, including destination charge, for a 2013 Spark LS with four-speed automatic transmission is $13,920. However, smartphone compatibility comes only in higher trim levels starting with the 2013 Spark 1LT, whose starting MSRP, including destination charge, is $14,595.
In comparison, Chevy's next-largest hatchback — the 2013 Sonic — has a starting retail price of $15,595 with five-speed manual and $16,690 with six-speed automatic.
Meantime, the five-door 2013 Honda Fit starts at $16,215 with 117-horsepower four cylinder and manual transmission and $17,015 with automatic.
The 2013 Ford Fiesta hatchback starts at $14,995 with 120-horsepower four cylinder and manual transmission and $16,090 with automatic. Top fuel mileage is 29/40 mpg for the 2013 Fiesta SFE model.
Chevy's Spark has seats for four, with a low, plastic area with two exposed cupholders positioned between the two rear seats.
It's not apparent, at first, that there are two rear doors for access to these seats. This is because the doors sit nearly seamlessly into the side styling and door handles are tucked up in the back upper part of the door windows.
Room in these flat-cushioned back seats isn't as bad as feared. There's a full 37.3 inches of headroom in the back seat and more than 35 inches of legroom.
Overall, the somewhat barebones nature of the Spark interior is handled with class.
With a pod of gauges seemingly hung on the steering column in front of the driver, there is an expansive plastic dashboard. Yet, this area doesn't look boring or low-cost, thanks to styling lines that sweep out toward the windshield and nicely textured plastic. The well-sized, 7-inch display screen that was in the middle of the center stack in the top-of-the-line test Spark 2LT had big enough letters and numbers to make navigation maps easy to see and use.
But there's no covered storage for small items except in the glovebox, which doesn't have a lock.
Cargo space, with back seats in use, is a mere 11.4 cubic feet, which is less than what's in the trunk of a small sedan like a Toyota Corolla. But there's a more accommodating 31.2 cubic feet in the Spark when split rear seatbacks are folded down.
The test car hit its bump stops a few times on city street bumps, sending a quick jarring sensation to passengers. The 15-inch tires got to their limits quickly, and the lightweight, 2,269-pound Spark was buffeted one way and another on windy days. Passengers heard wind and road noise, and the little, 1.2-liter, dual-overhead-cam four-cylinder roared when pressured to deliver power quickly.
In nearly all city driving — and it wasn't gentle driving — the Spark tester averaged 29.4 mpg, which is better than the government estimate. A full tank of unleaded gasoline, therefore, could have lasted for 270 miles and cost under $30 at today's prices.
More Information

ST. LOUIS — Soul singer Bilal emerged as a promising new act in 2001 with his album "1st Born Second," though hardly any of what came next was according to plan.
As his fans are painfully aware, it took almost a full decade for the release of his proper follow-up, last year's "Airtight's Revenge." Along the way, a widely bootlegged album called "Love for Sale" surfaced.
Bilal says the release of "Airtight's Revenge" was "a relief."
"I felt like my music was getting out there whether I wanted it to or not," he says. "I had to leave the label and find other avenues to make music. That's what made it take so long."
He says he would like to officially release "Love for Sale" one day but doesn't know when it might happen.
"Airtight's Revenge" is the first time Bilal has put out a record where he "didn't think in terms of making a radio song."
"I was just putting out some raw material, so it felt cool," he says. "This is one of those bare-bone records. I wanted to make a record about the world and the struggles, and that's what I did. I wasn't really thinking about anything other than that. I also wanted to make tunes that were creative and to not think about songs in terms of, 'Oh, this might be too long,' though looking back I could have shortened it up."
In releasing "Airtight's Revenge," Bilal put out what he calls his "rebel record," inspired by legends such as Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin and Radiohead.
He experimented freely with soul, rock, electronic and jazz elements, something he'd been wanting to do for a long time.
"I worked with different sounds that might not be deemed too soulful, but these were all the things I wanted to do, which is kind of not the norm," Bilal says. "That was one of my biggest issues around the time of 'Love for Sale.' I produced that record and had different elements, and the label didn't understand it. But this time I said (screw) it. I'm doing everything I wanted to do and try all the different things I wanted to try."
"Airtight's Revenge" instantly knocks Bilal out of the "neo-soul" category where he was lumped when he first arrived, much to his chagrin.
"I don't like any kind of categorization, but I know that's the way music registers to people," he says.
Previously, Bilal has performed live with a DJ. This time, he's coming with a full band.
"It's a whole different energy," he says. "With a live band, you can go so many different places. With a DJ, it's pretty much a set show. We'll be able to do the music more freely. It's going to be a journey."

(FXI/IFEX) - The following is a 13 August 2001 FXI press release:
Interception and Monitoring Bill
The Freedom of Expression Institute (FXI) calls upon the department of justice to postpone its deadline for public comments on the recently published Interception and Monitoring Bill. The FXI calls for the deadline, which is fixed for 13 August, to be moved to a future date to afford interested parties a chance to study the bill.
The bill has serious implication for freedom of expression, the free flow of information and access to information for individuals, media and civil society as a whole.
Firstly, like most government bills and acts that impact upon freedom of expression and access to information, it holds national interest and national security as supreme but fails to define what it calls national interest or national security. Previous cases have shown that the state can use national interest and security to justify any of its actions. In the past, the South African government has used national interest and national security to subpoena journalists (the case of Benny Gool) to act as witnesses in murder cases. It has also used it to deny citizens access to information, as in the case of live coverage of the arms deal hearing by e.tv and SABC.
Secondly, to allow this drastic increase in the power of the state to monitor and intercept private communications will have far reaching implications for the free flow of information. Media sources in government and other organizations will have no way of delivering information to the media because of fear that it might be intercepted. Organizations like the FXI for example, which sometimes run projects that may be critical of government, will also be subjected to the same danger.
Thirdly, the amount of power invested in offices in the police, the army, the Agency and the Directorate of Investigation are both arbitrary and rather misplaced. For example, they can get what is called call related data, which means every investigation into police activities by the media will not be possible because the police would simply intercept the communications of the media house concerned and figure out ways of dealing with it.
Fourthly, the bill also gives service providers financial burdens that have no economic rationale. Service providers will be required to comply with the specifications of the bill in terms of allowing the interception and monitoring system. The state will only pay what it calls direct costs, which will definitely have serious implications on the growth of the internet, telecommunication and other sources of communication that are enabling wider access to information.
The bill proposes the creation of a central monitoring centre at the taxpayers' expense. Obviously a centre where the technological requirement reflected in the bill will cost millions of rands. However, what is sad is the fact that the government is not equally committing resources for communities to access information. The access to information Act of 2000 is hardly implemented and there is hardly a financial commitment from the government to implement it.
The rationale behind the bill, according to the department of justice, is to give law enforcers tools to fight crime. The department, however, emphasises the fact that the procedure that is followed to allow the police or the army to intercept phones is very strict. However, without a definition of national interest and national security which is independent of the state's own pronunciation, this will be very difficult.

"Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions."--Unknown
How long do you stick with an uptrend? That has been the single-most vexing question of this market over the past couple of years. The easiest thing to do is to anticipate that a big, straight-up move is about to end. Unfortunately, the easy decision is usually the wrong decision, and the vast majority of market players are too quick to anticipate an end to an upside move.
It isn't surprising that so many market players tend to be too fast to believe that the market is about to roll back over. We typically have poor technical setups with overbought conditions on light volume and the news flow is quite problematic. Even earnings season has been mixed, but this market has acted as if it has no worries, especially since Europe is about to be saved.
It is never hard to make a bearish case against this market, which is probably a big part of the reason that it has a tendency to frustrate so many with sustained upside moves, even when conditions don't seem to favor it. The one thing you can say with certainty about this market is that it has caught many market players leaning the wrong way.
The challenge is the intense focus on the decision due tomorrow from the European Summit. That and the hope of some sort of meaningful solution have put a bid under the market recently.
The million-dollar question is whether the market has already anticipated the good news, or will there be a solution that will finally help put a floor under the European debt problems. That is what traders are pondering today, and we should see some pushing and shoving as they position for the news.
Technically, the market is set up very well for a sell-the-news reaction to Europe, but the underinvested bulls and the overly anticipatory bears have been easy and convenient short-squeeze fodder for the computers, which continue to push. The market is definitely due for some sort of consolidation soon, but if current trends prevail, it should continue to frustrate those who have been too fast to expect weakness.
What I have found to be the biggest challenge recently isn't just the lopsided nature of the V-shaped bounce, but the lack of any clear leadership. We have not had the very strong pockets of momentum that you usually see whenever we have a sustained move to the upside. There haven't been many themes or sectors exhibiting relative strength, and finding the charts remains a substantial challenge.
Today's challenge is balancing upside momentum against overbought conditions and the potential for a sell-the-news event out of Europe. It is a real balancing act and it will require extra vigilance. The risk of a rollover is high, but fighting momentum has been a very tough way to make money in this market.
We have mixed early action as earnings reports roll in. Netflix (NFLX), Cummins (CMI) and 3M (MMM) are giving the bears some ammunition.

Preparation, generosity helped JDP during flood
We have spent so much time covering the flood situation in our coverage area that we felt it was time to give credit where credit is due.
Elected and appointed officials seldom get praise for decisions or tasks but many in Jeff Davis Parish have gone above and beyond in the past weeks.
Especially in the southern portion of the parish, when rains began two weeks ago, officials and town crews were in the streets looking for potential problems, warning residents of when and where to expect flooding, and preventing flood problems as best as they could. They were also eager to contact this newspaper and utilize social media in an attempt to get all updates out as quickly as possible. Each day, there seemed to be a wealth of information available to residents, which truly helped this area both prepare for and endure a flood.
Our law enforcement officers also stayed quite busy in floodwaters, wind, rain and cold. The men and women working for a number of area agencies did amazing work helping vehicles out of high tides, putting up barricades, helping citizens evacuate, controlling traffic in flooding areas and so much more. It has been a tough job performed in difficult circumstances but the work those people put forth cannot go unnoticed.
Town employees and volunteers also played an incredible part during this flood, especially in Lake Arthur. People took the time to leave their own homes in hopes of protecting someone else's. They placed sandbags throughout Lake Arthur, added clay to levees for added protection and helped pump water back into the lake as it seeped through levees. We would have all understood if these people decided to stay in their homes or evacuate but volunteering to help protect an entire community is quite an admirable decision.
We have much respect and appreciation for all who worked to help the parish, communities and people affected by the recent flooding. Thank you for dedicating your time to preparing and protecting this area as the water rose.

If you aren't familiar with the first one, you can play a bunch of it for free here, or pick up the whole game for $2.99.
The game itself looks as fun and cool as the first one. Here's a little featurette for you to check out:

Nhu Y Ca 8 Mon Serves Eight Courses of Fish
I'm convinced that every Vietnamese dish ever conceived is represented in some form or another at Nhu Y Ca 8 Mon in Fountain Valley. If it contained recipes, the menu could serve as the Vietnamese version of Larousse Gastronomique; the thing reads like an epic, leaving no protein, starch, vegetable or prep method unturned. Its website says the kitchen produces 300 different dishes, but it seems as though there are more. To order just rice plates and stir-fried noodles would be too easy. How about vinegar fondue called nhung dam, or table grilled meats called nuong vi? You have a hankering for pho? The menu lists 32 kinds.
In the menu's narrative, you'll encounter a few characters from not only Animal Farm, but also The Jungle Book. The section on game meats lists alligator, wild boar, venison, goat and eel deep-fried, sautéed and curried. Not content to let a foodie trend pass by, Nhu Y even has a roster of Louisiana-style seafood boils, with corn and potatoes, as an answer to Boiling Crab and its clones. Desserts cover a dense page of their own; represented prominently is the subphylum of Vietnamese dessert called che, but there are also cherimoya, avocado and jackfruit ice creams, with the option of getting them blended into milkshakes.
Even before you see the menu, Nhu Y's absence of restraint will be evident. At the entrance, past the koi pond and the buzzing neon, you come face-to-face with the mounted deer head. In the dining room, what isn't decorated with various bric-a-brac is covered with fake ivy and Christmas lights. Through another door, a VIP banquet hall could double as a Liberace shrine, thanks to its explosion of glitter and white. Every night in this room, warbly, synthesizer-backed karaoke is sung at ear-piercing levels.
Nhu Y Ca 8 Mon, nhuyrestaurant.com. Open Mon.-Thurs., noon-1 a.m.; Fri.-Sun., 10:30 a.m.-1 a.m. Dinner for two, $22-$26. Full bar.
But even in the midst of all this, it is not difficult to know what to order. Nhu Y is acclaimed for three items: the oven-baked catfish, the seven courses of beef and the eight courses of fish. The catfish is to Vietnamese what the lechon pig is to Filipinos: a celebration food, an extravagant head-on specimen with maraschino cherries for eyes whose arrival on an oblong tray inspires the kind of awe a turkey commands at Thanksgiving. The fish comes in a range of sizes from a few inches long to a full-on river monster, all exhibiting a crisp mahogany skin and moist pulp of meat that is to be scooped up, adorned with herbs, wrapped in wetted rice paper, then dunked into an array of dipping sauces.

Restraint, if you could call it that, paradoxically comes when you ask for the seven courses of beef. Your waiter will actually inform you that one order is enough to feed two. He's right. Furthermore, for a meal that celebrates cattle consumption at every step, it's remarkably light. It begins with a shredded cabbage salad topped by bits of beef, pickled scallion bulbs and a fish-sauce-based dressing that zaps with a lemon-powered brightness; you use tapioca crackers as a scooping device. Then come spring rolls stuffed with sweet-broiled beef and noodles wrapped taut under translucent, latex-y rice paper.
Soon, more raw rice paper is supplied, along with a bowl of hot water in which to turn them pliant. A mountain of fragrant Vietnamese herbs called rau thom also arrives, containing so many exotic greens it would take a botanist an hour to categorize them. You wet the paper, deposit rice noodles and roll up whatever vegetable matter you care to include with one of three bite-sized beef morsels: roasted meatballs wrapped in caul fat gush juice, ground beef stogies bundled in a leaf called la lot that recalls nori, and a meat tube redolent of lemongrass. A cast-iron hot plate with more beef follows; this time, the protein is thinly sliced like Korean bulgogi and slowly sizzled to crispness with scallions, onions, cilantro and crushed peanuts. Finally, when you're just about ready to tap out, a soothing balm of minced beef porridge is served. The gruel settles into any belly room left unclaimed.
A separate trip is required to attempt the eight courses of fish, the restaurant's namesake meal. Since Nhu Y has trademarked the phrase "Ca 8 Mon," it appears this restaurant has the monopoly, especially because, to my knowledge, no other Little Saigon eatery offers it. The same rule applies here as it does for the beef course: If you've got two people, you need only ask for one order. With the exception of deep-fried, breaded spears of white fish and a crispy egg roll, almost all of the fish courses are a play-by-play recitation of the beef series. But the fish feast is a little more delicate, nuanced and subtle, which is more than you can say about anything else.

...and please, no, "I'm positive we'll read another negative story in the papers about the Pacers and another night club incident, or another Pacers w/a drug related offense, or I'm positive they need to make a trade soon, or another loss." I think we've had enough of that stuff already. Despite their recent loss to the Suns and David Harrison's stupidity (stupid because medical science still hasn't proved that there are any addictive properties in marijuna, so that SNAFU* was all his), there are some positives I think we can take from their last game moving forward into their next four games and beyond.
The smaller lineup actually works for the Pacers. It's been my opinion since the team played its 20th game that they hadn't been playing at the tempo the team has been designed to play which, of course, is a faster pace. I think JOB has slowed things down just a bit on purpose. He's talked over and over about the importance of the wings running w/the PG and of the importance of team defense. It's become apparent to me that the players he had hoped would be part of the ingredients toward this team's success moving forward just haven't panned out, i.e., Ike and Harrison, and since Murphy plays more like a SF/SG than a PF/C it's hard to get him to bang underneath to become a force in the paint. But it's because he can hit the "3" that he's been out there w/JO in the hopes of pulling the defense away from the basket and allowing JO to work underneath. Problem here is JO hasn't been 100% since Day-1. Still, w/o him the team has not interior defensive force. And although JO's not regularly scoring in the upper teams/lower 20's, he's still commanding the double-team which means the defense respects his game (whether we like it or not...his game, that is).
So, we're somewhat limited in what we can do in the front-court. That leaves the backcourt. Murphy, Dunleavy, Granger, Williams, Rush, Owens, Deiner and to a degree Tinsley and Quis can all hit the 3-pt shot. That's 9 playes capable of being a threat from the perimeter. But the only players making that shot with any regularity has been Owens, Dunleavy, Granger and Williams. Rush is starting to come along; I think once he rounds out his game just a little bit more we'll start seeing him knock it down with more consistency. During the course of a game you want that 3-pt threat out there, and this team has the firepower to do it. No, not consistently, but they can do it. I think JOB had it right when he decided to go with a smaller lineup and return to using Deiner as the B/U-PG because w/him and Tinsley pushing the ball they can better setup any of our shooters on catch-n-shoot players (also referred as "stop-n-pop") or find the trailing Wingman in transition. However, I would causing going with this game plan in the closing minutes of games because missed 3-balls that bounce high off the rim usually result in defensive rebounds and the score for the other team in transition. So, that leaves me with the final ingredient I think will help make this team more successful moving forward as the roster currently stands and that is dribble penetration.
It's apparent the Pacers tend to take too many jump shots in crutch-time. Part of that is they rely too much on two players for lane penetration instead of allowing the athleticism of other players who can make baseline cuts or penetrate the lanes in transition work to their advantage. The "two" players I'm referring to are Tinsley and Quis. The "other" players I'm referring to are Dunleavy, Granger and Rush. All three have shown the ability to come off curls, baseline screens or get inside the defense and get to the baseket. Even Owens has done it consistently. His problem, however, is he can't seem to finish the play once he gets to the rim. (I think he's only converted on one layup all season! But you gotta give him credit for persistants; he's never given up trying!!) The biggest problem here is players haven't figured out quite yet how to effective read the defense and know when to take that jump shot and when to take it to the hole! The only players I've observed who have figured it out are Tinsley, Dunleav, Owens and Rush. I think if the team gets better at reading the defense they'll start driving the lanes more particularly in end-game situations and stop relying so heavily on jump shots. Of course, the other side of that coin is the lanes have to be clear, and unless you've got that big body down low to make room you're not getting to the rim with any kind of effectiveness. Hence, one of the primary reasons JO is still a part of this team which obviously goes in contrast to what many fans want. Sorry, folks. But JO is here to stay (for a while anyway).
Going smaller will help this team play to their strength which is to push the tempo in order to get more quality shots. Once they can truly establish themselves as a threat from the field, they can go inside either with more post-up play or start driving the lanes more. But it starts with the team AND COACHES committing to the game plan we were promised at the start of the season. For what it's worth, I think JOB is done tinkering w/the lineups. We'll obviously see less of Harrison, and I'm sure the same can be said of Ike and Owens, too, although I think the later two players will get playing time in certain situations. I'm convinced the focus will shift to playing at a faster and slowly working the interior w/emphasis, of course, on team defense. Over the course of the last ten games, I've noticed the defense has gotten better. If players will commit to running and can knock down their shots, I think this team can begin to move up the standings.

Aside from four additional bonus tracks, Prodigy and Alchemist's P=MC2 project contains no new material. As such, HipHopDX opted to review the bonus edition of the album without a rating.
Last summer, famed New York City emcee Prodigy, of Mobb Deep fame, and the successful underground Hip Hop producer Alchemist continued their celebrated collaboration with the release of a new equation, Albert Einstein. Over half a year later, the duo has released a deluxe version of the album, P=MC2, which contains four new tracks packaged as a bonus EP.
Much like the original 16-track project, the deluxe version displays a solid lyrical showing from Prodigy, whose verses contain the same street-oriented rhyme styles that launched him into fame in the early-'90s. And while Alchemist compliments Prodigy's verbal onslaught, these new tracks provide little more than a continuation of the solid, yet far from outstanding release that was the original Albert Einstein.
"A lot of these new nigga's raps is musky / Stink like hot garbage, and y'all supposed to be / Hip Hop's new generation / I'm still waiting for some bars," raps P on the first bonus track, "Mightier Pen," extolling his superior lyricism to his younger adversaries. Alchemist, still a mainstay in Hip Hop's crowded production battlefield, lays down a suitably eerie beat featuring a repeated electronic line tinged with the occasional horns and piano. If Al's beats are something out of one of Mario's ghost levels, (see "Murder Goes Down") then Prodigy's slow and methodical rhymes are well suited for the violence found in Grand Theft Auto.
The album's deluxe version, fails to produce anything extraordinary, instead giving listeners a solid array of new material. Perhaps the only flaw of these four new offerings is their mediocrity. At the very least, the four closely guarded tracks weren't worth eight months of deliberation and waiting. There are moving baselines, jazzy horns setting a scene fitting of a mob meeting, and Prodigy boasts plenty of angry rhymes; some even include the text message-speak phrase, "OMG" (which, sadly, is used twice throughout the four tracks).
The amended album's last track, "Gnarly," is yet another reminder of ALC's beat mastery. Featuring the type of horns you'd expect from an old school James Bond film—which may have influenced Prodigy to include the line, "With my tux on, James Bond / Stay calm while I remain ruthless," the beat is the perfect blend of dark sounds and jazzy instrumentals. Much like 007, this smooth rhythm is a success, but the lack of a standout track on the deluxe version of P=MC2 should prevent it from box office success, leaving it better suited to the duos longtime fans than the casual listener.

Chasing Claymores
Rocks Like: Four Year Strong, Set Your Goals, New Found Glory
Check Out: Hindsight's 20/20 EP
Who would have thought San Diego natives Chasing Claymores would have met their guitarist Scott Baird via Craigslist? Baird himself was even surprised, but with the most recent lineup sticking since 2011, there won't be any need to search the net for bandmates. "All of the guys have connected through a close friendship and an unbelievable desire to write optimistic, life-changing, pop-punk," says Baird, describing their style as "a great blend of pop-punk that features optimistic choruses and aggressive crowd vocals," which can be heard on select West Coast tour dates this summer.

Peel through the controversy surrounding the Sandy Hook area of Gateway National Recreation Area and you'll find a seaside setting perfect for fleeing Gotham's high summer heat and humidity.
Sandy Hook has five luxuriously wide beaches plus six miles of biking trails, fishing, wind surfing and a maritime forest with more American holly than anywhere else on the East Coast. The oldest lighthouse in America still in use is in Sandy Hook, with tours available on weekend afternoons. Birders love Sandy Hook, particularly during the spring and fall migrations.
That's just a snippet from the story my colleague, Terese Loeb Kreuzer, wrote after taking the ferry from New York City to Sandy Hook. For the rest of the story, surf over to this site.

Sometimes the story behind private art collections is as interesting as the art itself. More than most, it is true of "Art, Friendships and the New York School," an exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts. It's a microcosm of abstract expressionism, a mid 20th century movement that changed art history.
And it belonged to Benjamin Gollay, not because he cared so much about the art, but because he cared about those who created it.
The story, like the art, is a uniquely New York one.
Gollay was an attorney there when he met Harold Rosenberg, who was to become an influential arts writer, in the mid 1950s.
Their wives were friends. They had daughters about the same age, so the families became close. Rosenberg knew many artists and drew his friend Gollay into that circle.
"My father had this wise, sage way about him," his daughter, Elinor Gollay, says. "He would help these artists who came to him for advice about ex-wives, gallery owners, whatever, and I suspect he never charged for it."
The artists began to pay him in another way, by giving him art. And if money was tight, he would buy their art, typically handing over money before he even knew what he was paying for.
Canvases began stacking up in Gollay's home, covering the walls, says Elinor Gollay.
"He had taste but I think he was much more interested in the artists as people," she says. In the 1950s her father began buying land in Long Island, including a weekend house. "He loved having house guests, having parties. Many artists had moved out there because it was so cheap and the light was so good. It wasn't the expensive, glamorous place it is now. Lots of farms. They would come over to visit all the time."
Today those starving artists read like an abstract expressionist who's who.
The most famous of the group in Gollay's collection are Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell. But there are a number of strong supporting players who are getting deserved new notice, including Norman Bluhm, Michael Goldberg, Elaine de Kooning, Dorothy Dehner, Robert de Niro Sr. and Milton Resnick.
The Gollays divorced in the 1950s, and in 1966 he married Jean Block, a successful editor and freelance writer. De Kooning gave them a painting from his famous Woman series as a wedding gift inscribed "To Ben and Jean." Gollay died in 1983. She now lives in Venice, Fla., which is how the collection came to the museum for a visit.
Jean Gollay has lots of anecdotes about the group. One about painter Herman Cherry, known for his luminous colors:
"Herman was a lively guy," Jean Gollay says, "and he had an eye for a pretty girl. He was at the Cedar Bar, or one of those watering holes they all hung out in, in Greenwich Village. A young woman was sitting at the other end of the bar with a young man. He gets up to do something and she scoots down the bar to Herman. 'Let's get out of here,' she says to Herman. 'What about your date?' he says. 'Never mind him,' she says. So they have a lovely evening together and he wakes up in the morning, smells coffee, goes into the kitchen and says, 'How nice of you to make breakfast for me.' 'Oh, it's nothing for an artist as great as Franz Kline,' she says. 'But I'm Herman Cherry,' he says. She got her coat and left without another word."
Kline, also a friend, is absent from the collection.
"Ben would never ask for art," Jean Gollay says. "An artist had to offer it. Harold (Rosenberg) told him that Kline thought Ben didn't like his work because he never asked for it. So Ben was going over the next day to get a painting but Kline died that same day."
Indeed, who is and who is not in the collection illustrates how charged and competitive the atmosphere was in those days, when daring young American artists caused a seismic shift in how people thought about art, and the sphere of greatest influence moved from Paris to New York. Rosenberg and his rival, fellow critic Clement Greenberg, chose those artists who they believed best incorporated the tenants of this new art, which was based on abstraction and spontaneous method but with an emotional, soul-baring component. So you won't see Jackson Pollock here, for example, since he was allied with Greenberg, and Rosenberg would not have introduced him to Gollay.
Which is why this collection is so interesting and quirky. Because its owner wasn't really a collector. I can't think of a single other collection of this caliber that was built by someone who cared so little about its particulars yet valued it so greatly for what it represented. In his daughter's words, it was "inadvertent."
Thus, there are no great revelations in it, no new insights to be had and no great individual examples, as exemplary as the artists' roster is, since Gollay did not chose specific art with any discrimination or thought as to its merit within an artist's body of work. But it's worth seeing because of its history and provenance and, even more, for the sense that we sometimes miss in exhibitions, of the realness of these men and women.
"I asked my father once why he liked artists and he said it was because they followed an unconventional lifestyle," says Elinor Gollay. "I don't think he loved the law. He grew up very poor and that was the way out."
Though she owns a sizable part of her father's collection, she was for years not a fan of abstract expressionism or of the artists, almost all male, who could be famously chauvinistic.
"It was part of the ethos of the time that no one would talk about the art, certainly not to someone like me," she says. "It was considered gauche to ask about it. It was this 'you get it or you don't' attitude. I found it to be an attitude of incredible arrogance and I think it has done a lot of damage to its reputation. Harold wrote about it but in a way that was opaque to the average reader. These people were breaking rules, pushing limits, exploring the ugly with the beautiful, the deliberate with the accidental. It's interesting whether you like it or not but if you don't understand the context you're not going to appreciate it."
She lives in Portland, Ore., with her husband and remains close to her stepmother. Her half of her father's collection has been on extended loan to the museum for years. Though she now appreciates abstract expressionism, she has her own contemporary art collection.
And unlike her father, she collects it as a conscious act.

Jean and Elinor Gollay will join chief curator Jennifer Hardin at 4 p.m. today for a gallery talk. Free with admission.

Discussion in 'Mock Draft Talk' started by barrett, Mar 2, 2009.
Just saw this.
No offense to LZ because this isn't the first place I've seen this said, but how can a guy be a lock for the second overall pick but not good enough to be taken first overall?
The last guy I can remember who was supposed to be the unanimous #1 player didn't even go #1.
ask Mario Williams!
I cant speak for LZ but I think what what he means is that St. Louis is in all likelyhood going OT and after the combine Smith is a lock to be the first one taken. If so he is right IMO.
Yeah, I'm not understanding it either. I think pundits spend the entire season commenting on how great players did that were drafted later, and how inexact a science the draft is, then they lose their mind when it comes to making mocks. If a guy is good enough for the #2 overall pick, he's good enough for the #1 overall pick, if that's the argument.
I think sometimes a franchise gets into a situation where they are in desperate need of a "face". A clean start. In the NFL a QB represents that more often than not. Houston did it. Atlanta did it last year when many thought they had more pressing needs or guys better rated. It happens all the time.
I think Lance see's Detroit in that kind of situation. Therefore, the #1 guy falls to #2.
By the way, I'm suprised we've made it this many years with out a long haired white guy at LB. It's all the rage don't you know? This may be the end of our streak. I hope Cushing is better than A.J. Hawk. His name certainly isn't.
I agree with that part.
But it seems like he is saying that it is okay for the Rams to take Smith #2 but he is not worth the #1 for the Lions?...
Yeah, I can think of plenty of reasons why it would shake out like LZ has it, but when LZ says, "Could the Lions use a LT like Jason Smith? Yes. Is he another Orlando Pace who was drafted with the first overall pick? No", then it makes me think he's going down a different line of reasoning altogether.
It'd be real interesting if Jenkins fell to us @15. Maybe D-Rob might be easier to negotiate with if there's someone on the other side that can help share the heat with. (and don't get me started on how badly we've needed a real FS for years)
of course its a very good mock, he has both a trained eye & inside contacts. such as the Oakland pick of Darrius Heyword-Bey a very impressive receiver, has all the tools none of the question marks of Crabtree who he has going w/next pick to Jacksonville which I just can't buy with Andre Smith on the board. Texans Cushing yeah probably if he's still there? if not do they take Maybin or trade down he doesn't have my guy English even in the first rd.
Vontae Davis has some bust potential? even if there is a hint why would Detroit take that risk if they want to go CB take Butler who he's gift wraping for the Giants. Miami he has taking Brian Robiskie, you guys thought I was crazy for slotting him two picks later to the Colts? I really like the Unger pick to Baltimore.
If the draft pans out that way to #15 with Sanchez available, then I could see the Texans trading down with Tampa Bay, and possibly picking the best OLB available there, or trying to trade down again.
I don't think he ever said Smith is not good enough for the #1 pick, he just said he is no Orlando Pace. Maybe insinuating that hes not worth the #1 pick, but that would be silly to say since hes giving him #2 money with St Louis. I guess it depends on how to read it.
In terms of trading back, look who is behind us...SanDiego. The Jets are probably lookin' at QB and Tampa Bay too.. If LZ's mock were to hold true then Tampa Bay is gonna call SanDiego(who isn't looking for a QB, for a trade...they'll also ask us, just to cover their ass. I think SanDiego will get the first oppotunity for a trade before we will and that would be Tampa Bay doing the calling. Also the Jets and Tampa Bay may jump alot sooner before SanFransico picks just to be sure. I'm just saying we are not guarateed a dance partner with LZ's mock, though we have a chance.
Any Mock that doesn't have one of the centers going in the first....I dismiss out of hand at this point in the process. And....as good a value as Clay Mathews is to the Colts....they have to have a WR for Manning's Machine. Robiskie fits. Practicing for hours....watching film for hours...takes some discipline. Hakeem Nixs works. Robiskie is locked and loaded to be their #2 first game in September.
Pretty good....anytime I hear a RB has a toe....that's panic time. Bolts have to have a Rb in case Ladanian's "toe" is chronic. Lot of RBs in the pile. Only a couple with the Field vision that LT has. and that line is a bit slew footed to block for a banger.
All the tweeners on the board they can afford to wait on the LB until the second.
That's a lot of value to jump from the teens into the top ten. Better be sold on the guy.
On the other hand....Orakpo falling to 13....that's a pin prick to move up. Think LZ panicked when Orakpo fell down his mock ? especaily if Denver is looking for the 3-4 De and by his own Mock Jarron Gilbert is a first rounder for back up if they lose Tyson Jackson by the move down. Denver would have no down side and little risk to move back with the Texans.
Ok, in your scenario were the Jets and Tampa Bay both want Sanchez, he falls down the draft board, and Tampa Bay trades with San Diego before the Texans make their pick, what is to stop the Jets from trading with the Texans and getting Sanchez? Nothing.
yes your right...the Jets know that Houston and SanDiego will not take a QB. so Sanchez would fall to them with out any trades for him. I don't think TampaBay will let this happen. Both clubs (Jets/Tampa Bay)know that they both want Sanchez, now enter the bidding...both clubs will already anticipate this and call Houston and SanDiego to let them know where they stand if Sanchez passes thru the clutches of San Fransico. I see that I mis spoke in my earlier quote..good catch "BattleRedToro"....
can someone post the mock?
I am blog blocked here at work...
