Jasper is a true Piney Woods burg -- it's got a notorious bit of racist history, it's got an isolated, closed-off feeling to it, it's got a mayor arrested for public intoxication when he was found wandering down the road from where he had crashed his car at the local Sonic.
Mike Lout, 54, was arrested and charged with public intoxication yesterday, the Beaumont Enterprise reported, after a 10 p.m. incident.
Lout drove his car over the curb and got it stuck, the police report said. He then walked away and was found about 500 feet away, where he offered this money quote for the report: "Mr. Lout laughed and said he could sure drink some whiskey."
Lout was shirtless at the time, we assume because that's how the carhops at Sonic like it.

Lout refused to blow the breathalyzer, but did just about anything else he could to convict himself, if the report is to be believed.
Lout admitted to drinking hard liquor before the incident. Lout reportedly told officers that a recent foot injury was causing him pain and "he began drinking whiskey to try to cope with the pain."
"Mr. Lout stated the doctors gave him pain medication but it caused him to see things that were not there," the report stated.
Because no one had seen him behind the wheel, Lout was not charged with DWI, police said.
Lout was sworn in as mayor in May. He owns a radio station in Jasper, which did report on the arrest.

Most people are surprised when Sime tells them he grew up in LA. He has old pictures of himself with blond highlights if you don't believe him.
He likes seasons though, especially fall.
He's been performing and writing funny stuff since high school. Except his poems, those weren't funny. Just embarrassing.
Also he and Alexander Schwartz are Not Brothers Comedy. Check out their funny videos at Notbrotherscomedy.com.

I've had this gig working at a hotel reception desk for over a year now… here are some things I've learned.
#1 Knock before entering your new room
After check-in, you find the door to your room. Then you knock a few times. Why? Sometimes there are glitches in the hotel computer, sometimes there are communication snafu's between housekeeping and reception. It happens. So before you open the door to find a stranger who is very surprised to see you, Knock.
#2 Lock your door
Following number 1, someone unintentionally could walk in on you! So use that little swing latch thingy that looks useless to stop a criminal but would work wonders in keeping out the person in #1.
#3 If you accidentally leave an item in your room
and call back a week or two (or three) later expecting us to have it, remember who it was who forgot it in the first place: YOU. Although we go to great lengths to keep track of your phone charger, underwear, pajamas, wedding ring, wallet, iPod … and have returned many, many, many of these things to previous guests, sometimes its just not there. And like Matt Damon says, its not my fault.
#4 I don't know where your taxi is.
If you suffer from poor time management, that is not my problem. Or if you did not realize a city the size of Aberdeen could have a rush hour, also not my problem.
#5 Our airport shuttle is not yours to have at your disposal the moment you decide you need it.
It might help when you are staying at a hotel to notice that your are not the only guest and that maybe, just maybe, you might have to share or put in a request ahead of time.
#6 Our 2 story hotel does not have a elevator (lift).
This comes as a shock to pretty much everyone. Welcome to the old country. You complain that Scotland has McDonald's and Starbucks and you want to experience the 'real' Scotland, well here is your chance to get some exercise the old-fashioned way.
#7 Every hotel has 'last let' rooms.
These are the rooms that are what you might call 'sucky'. Whether its poorly located with a heat pump, dumpster, or brick wall outside the window or perhaps there is no window or maybe its next to reception desk or bar or pool, every hotel has them. So if you like rooms that are perhaps rarely used, ask for these. They will be less trammeled and have less worn fixtures in all likelihood. But it will come with the above caveat. You think that sometimes we put people in these rooms intentionally. Wrong. We don't like listening to complaining, so why would we put someone in a room that they will complain about? Only if we are full will we put you in these rooms. And then you can complain all you want on Trip Advisor.
#8 Check-in times
I used to think that you couldn't check in before the '3pm' or '4pm' check-in times advertised. Wrong. I have people showing up at 7am, 8am and all through the day trying to check in. The nice ones are apologetic and say "not sure if its possible to check in now, I know its very early". These are the people who get the rooms. The ones who just show up at 9am and say, "I'm here to check in". I drag my feet and act like I'm being interrupted (which I am- you should see our task list not to mention doing 50, 60, 80 check outs ). Then say 'let me see if there are any rooms available' then search for a while in the system to make them wait a bit.
#9 If you ask for stuff really nicely, you will probably get what you ask for in most cases.
Like maybe some extra slippers or maybe we can activate your key to the special lounge where club members get snacks. Or an upgraded room. Being nice to people making minimum wage goes a long way. Being mean to them just means you are a jerk or are trying to get your entire bill cancelled even though you ate all the terrible food on your plate and slept well in your bed that you hated. But of course I have never, ever seen this happen.
#9 is true unless you are just being really needy or high-maintenance.
Like if you gave us your silk blouse to send to the dry cleaners and it comes back with a button missing and you demand that we sew the replacement button back on even though your room has a little sewing kit. And then I and a housekeeping staff person have to literally sew your button back on this blouse that isn't really your color anyway. And the last time I sewed anything was like 20 years ago so your button is gonna look woppyjaw. So there.
#10 But actually, most people are lovely and easy going
Like most public-facing jobs, there is always a mixed bag of apples, some rotten.. some sweet. I now know what its like on the the front lines of the hospitality industry -as if 20 years of hospital work didn't tell me already- what people are really like.

We are delighted to announce our membership of the IHMA (International Hologram Manufacturers Association).
The mission of the IHMA is to advance the understanding, use and development of holograms and holographic technology, particularly in the authentication of products and documents, decoration and illustration, displays and display systems, energy and environmental improvements.
Security Foiling have admired to the work of the IHMA for many years. The IHMA has encouraged 'best practice' and protection of the brand owner which we wholeheartedly support.
Established in 1993, this is one of the first projects undertaken by the IHMA, and has been referred to as the Association's 'Crown Jewels', as it is the only global register of any security or authentication product.
For its 21 years it has enabled IHMA members to register their hologram images, so that other producers or intermediaries can check against the Register that they are not reproducing an existing hologram when they make a new design.
The HIR is also available to law enforcement agencies to check for the provenance of a design when they need information on a suspect hologram. The HIR has helped to prevent numerous attempts to source copy holograms, and has also helped to confirm that a suspect hologram was, indeed, a fake, which in turn has led to arrests and prosecution of the counterfeiters.
If you are planning to visit us at SDW and take advantage of the following benefits. Please register using this link:
Please mention Security Foiling in your registration. We look forward to seeing you there.

In May, we told you about a CNEWA success story from Jordan, 2-month-old Mariam:
Before Mariam was born, her parents came to CNEWA, looking for help. The mother was older, and it was clear she needed a Caesarean delivery. The CNEWA staff directed the family to the Italian Hospital, supported by CNEWA in Amman, and helped pay for the surgery.
The delivery went well, but the doctors discovered that Mariam has a small hole in her heart. She is being treated with drugs and, in time, it is hoped the hole will close and Mariam will have a long life.

This is her second visit to our CNEWA office. Mariam and her father stopped by for the distribution of the Christmas food tickets for Iraqi families.
She is healthy and gorgeous.

Pope: Christian unity is hope for a suffering world (Vatican News) Despite differences between Catholics and Orthodox Christians, Pope Francis said the two communities are called to be a sign of hope by working together for peace, human dignity and care of creation. "We can work together today in the search for peace among peoples, for the abolition of all forms of slavery, for the respect and dignity of every human being and for the care of creation," the Pope said in a message to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople on the occasion of the 30 November feast of St. Andrew, the patron of the Patriarchate based in Istanbul, Turkey…
Ukraine bans Russian men from entering country (NBC News) Russian men between the ages of 16 and 60 have been barred from entering Ukraine after long-simmering tensions between the countries escalated into a clash on the Black Sea.

The last day of November holds a special significance for many Christians — and serves to remind us of the much-desired unity for which CNEWA and so much of the Christian world ardently pray.
In his encyclical Ut Unum Sint (That They May Be One) of 25 May 1995, Pope John Paul II wrote of the necessity of the church living and breathing with its "two lungs." By that he was referring to the Catholic Church including Catholics not only of the Latin Rite but also the many different Orthodox Churches who were not in communion with Rome.
Historically it seemed that once Christians stopped being persecuted, they started arguing with each other. Churches broke relations (communion) with each other starting in the 4th century and continued to do so throughout the centuries. Some of the breaks were not that noticeable; others such as the Great Schism between the Eastern and Western Church in 1054 and the Protestant Reformation which started in 1517 were nothing short of tectonic and impacted major parts of the Christian world.
At the opening of the 20th century, Christianity found itself seriously divided and it seemed that those divisions were incurable. However, there were stirrings of the Spirit among some broad minded Christians, leading them to believe not only that divisions among Christians were wrong but also that they could be healed. The Ecumenical Movement was born.
With Vatican II (1962-65) the Catholic Church formally committed itself to this movement and to work for Christian unity by engaging in dialogue with other Christians. One of the most dramatic ecumenical events to occur took place during the council. Pope Paul VI visited the Holy Land—the first pope to do it since St. Peter. While there, he met with Athenagoras, the Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople in January of 1964. Although the role of the Patriarch of Constantinople among the Orthodox Churches is quite different than that of the pope in the Catholic Church, he is, nevertheless, the "first among equals" and the Ecumenical Patriarch.
The historic meeting ultimately resulted in the lifting of the mutual excommunications which had been promulgated by the two churches in 1054; it also brought about the commitment to engage in dialogue and the pledge of regular visits between the Phanar (the cathedral of the Patriarch of Constantinople) and the Holy See. It was decided that the patriarch would visit or send a delegation to the Holy See every year on 29 June, the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, the patron saints of Rome. The Holy See would return the visit every year on 30 November, the feast of St. Andrew, patron saint of Byzantium.
The initial meetings were cordial, ceremonial and, of course, very important. Sometimes the patriarch himself came to Rome and the pope went to the Phanar in Istanbul. More often, high level delegation exchanged visits to celebrate the feast of the other church.
Over the decades what had begun as a cordial and ceremonial—though important—event has evolved into the meeting of friends and brothers. The small steps of rapprochement made by Pope Paul and Patriarch Athenagoras in the Holy Land, have evolved into a deep friendship and cooperation between Pope Francis and Patriarch Bartholomew and the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
When the representatives of Pope Francis celebrate the Feast of St. Andrew tomorrow in Istanbul, they are representing two friends—Francis and Bartholomew—who have not only met several times but have worked together in issues such as the environment, world peace and the plight of refugees.
CNEWA's world is deeply rooted in places where Orthodox Christians are in the majority. The yearly meetings between the pope and patriarch are signs to us that in a world of nationalism, xenophobia—if not downright hatred of "the Other"—and division, the "two lungs of the church" are working together to breathe new life in the two major Christian traditions of the world.

This week, we received a report from our regional director in India, M.L. Thomas, updating us on a program CNEWA is supporting:
Kaleketty is a remote forest village in the diocese of Kanjirappally in Kerala. CNEWA stretched its hands to help 50 visually impaired children at a school for the blind run by the Congregation of Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate.
To help these children develop skills, the sisters conduct academic classes, and also give them training in music, dance, and physical education. They are also trained in rehab programs—making umbrellas, working with rattan and bamboo, or creating jewelry with beads.
CNEWA's support bought musical instruments, along with mosquito nets, mats, mattresses, medicine and day-to-day living items.
The Assisi Sisters of Mary immaculate (ASMI) which is a Franciscan Congregation of the Syro-Malabar Church, was established in 1949. The congregation was founded to radiate God's compassionate love to the most rejected of the society — including leprosy patients, the blind, and the mentally handicapped.
The Assisi School for the Blind is a residential school. They have 50 blind children this year studying in 10 grades. Up to grade 7, the students are taught in state syllabus with the help of Braille books. For higher secondary studies, the students stay in the school's hostel and go to another nearby facility. Proper training, knowledge and encouragement enable them to overcome their disabilities and exceed in life.
We sincerely thank our generous donors for supporting this project. You have not seen these young people, and they cannot see you, but they do visualize you with their hearts. Be assured, they pray for you!

Dundee United 3 Partick Thistle 3: Gordon's salvage job continues
A late comeback saw Dundee United salvage some further late-season pride as they claimed a 3-3 draw with Partick Thistle.
Relegated Dundee United fought back from 3-1 down to earn a dramatic 3-3 Scottish Premiership draw with Partick Thistle.
Caretaker boss Gordon Young oversaw a 3-2 win against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in his maiden game at the helm and helped restore a little more pride on Tuesday.
A familiar story looked set to unfold when the hosts fell behind to Frederic Frans' sixth-minute header at Tannadice Park, while Kris Doolan's fourth goal in as many games had Thistle well on top at the break.
Liam Lindsay's own goal put the game back in the balance, but Ryan Edwards' header appeared to settle matters with just 14 minutes to go.
However, Edward Ofere struck from inside the box three minutes from time and Justin Johnson earned the home side a share of the spoils with a coolly taken stoppage-time finish.

Panthers rare -- never black -- in Louisiana
Recent reported sightings of a panther near Spring Bayou have been met with a mix of excitement, skepticism and humor.
Recent reported sightings of a panther near Spring Bayou have been met with a mix of excitement, skepticism and humor.
If you thought the "Battle of Spring Bayou" was over, you were just enjoying a ceasefire.
Floyd Bonnette of Fifth Ward fills up one of the many bird feeders at his house. Bonnette has been watching birds his entire life and says they now brighten his days in retirement.
These are a couple of the many robins who descended on lawns earlier this month. Most of the migratory songbirds were on their way back to their nesting areas in the North and Canada, but some remain here year-round to raise their young. {Photo by Raymond L. Daye}
A flock of robins stop in Floyd Bonnette's tallow tree for a quick snack on Feb. 3. They also helped themselves to earthworms that had been coaxed out of the ground by recent rains and warmer weather. The appearance of robins is said to mean that Spring is just around the corner. It seems the birds were right. {Photo by Floyd Bonnette}
Are two birds in the yard worth more than one 'hog in the ground? We may have the answer to that question.
Deer hunters in Avoyelles enjoyed a successful year, aided by several weeks of cold weather that brought more deer into the parish's hunting lands.

Hi again, in January 2011 I managed to hit $745 in overall earnings. This felt really rather special. It was suggested to me that perhaps I should aim high for February and see if I could break the magic 4 figure income…
I did…
I actually earned $1123.35 overall and breaking this barrier really is rather special. Part of this came from a huge $400 commission from amazon when someone ordered 50 e-book readers… yep….!
Seriously, if I can do it, anybody can do it. The key is never give up, keep asking questions and ACT on the answers… respect others and their opinions and thank those who have helped you get to where you are.
I have asked for help from a lot of people and a lot of people have helped me and it's paid off. I've probably pissed off a few people along the way, but the way I see things, is that it doesn't always sink in for me in the written form (short attention span) but one on one works extremely well.. the one on one sessions Ive done with folks via PM, via instant messenger and in-person have most definitely been the major triggers.
Onwards and upwards.. Im aiming for $1500 for March, but I am also aware that I may not get a $400 commision like before, so it could well be $700 again.. however on a positive note, I have started doing 2 sets of ezarticlelinks on each of my top 5 sites – and I am goign to build them up to around 10 a site and re-evaluate.
Ive also got sites stewing in linxboss as well, so hoping to see that rub off in the not to distant future.
Anyway, thats it for this update. All Ive learned has been from wordpress goldmine – there is a link in the sidebar if you'd like to take a trial and come and say hi to me – Ive been there since October 2009 now.. weird huh… you stick with something instead of jumping from opportunity to opportunity and guess what happens…
Take care.

A one man band from Italy who released two albums and a single before Gianluigi Pezzera, the man behind this band moved on in life.
The music is very much influenced by the likes of Trace and ELP. Add some local Italian flavour from bands like Le Orme and Goblin too and you get this album. The music is created and performed by tonnes of keyboards, bass and drums. The ELP setup, in other words.
The music is not bad at all. I have heard far, far worse ELP fanboy albums than this album. The music here is leaning far more on fusion and jazz than pling plong shopping mall music. The core of this music though is a blend of classical music and some Italian prog rock. The music sounds like Gianluigi Pezzera actually had a vision behind this album. Some delicate acoustic guitars scattered around this album also proves this point.
There are no really great music on this album. The average quality is good though and this is a surprising good album and a very fine addition to the Italian progressive rock scene.

It was necessary to silence the earth.
Smother the desire for elevation with dust and metal.
It was necessary to hide, forget and die a little bit. To forget ourselves especially and with the end of the lips, to smile with the unnameable. It was necessary to unravel and under the weight of the air to kiss the stone in a ferric "I love you".
An angel has died.

The leaves blew me; The spirit of the forests staggers. He embraces the lost as on roots his fears. Those who have no age because too often buried. The caress of the moss burned my veins, these tentacles of flaming lichen.
It is the morning of an incandescent green, which I drink in the name of the eternal ... On my skin, tattoo and embrasse.

Shreds and steel.
A desert of red stones eroded from the whip of his breath. A porous bone field. The mechanical lament of a mummy is muted, as dying as the dried earth. It collapses, disperses itself to the four winds, in these cities loosened by too much space. Gray, orange, red masses, in a rosary, escape from the stones.

Of jaw and claws. He is the mordant of the instant, the obcession of the no, which is brandished to be, perhaps not. Not to be as empty as the ice and the instable of its heat. The fire of the shooting in space without moments. Escape time, taper the canvases of the slow tomorrow. Who does not come, who only cries to the glory of the volatile lovers. The spark and its shadow.

There are some who run after a dream and flee from reality. There are some who run after their solitude, in order to forget from where they come. The way, or the destination, seems. Should we always see a meaning in it? The run forward at the approach of the emptiness robs us a little more substance.
The runner treads this planet before the ground crumbles, and in this march or dash without a possible backward view, he is impregnated with the illusion of a world ignoring itself.

Re-build and birth a new you!
If the breakdown is inevitable and you just couldn't avoid it, (read about avoiding a breakdown by clicking here) see the immense opportunity in it. Yes, I know, when you are down, destroyed, and lying on the side of the road smoking (reference to my car) there IS opportunity. Don't roll your eyes. I know this sounds woo woo, but maybe Deepak can change your mind.
Deepak Chopra, a person I greatly admire, says that in every problem we face there is an opportunity that awaits you. It's your choice whether you seize it or not. In order to seize it, you must recognize that the opportunity exists.
When you recognize, you gain the chance to rebuild. Even in the wake of complete annihilation you can pick yourself, or your business, or your car up and start again.
Okay, late night blogging sessions have already lost their luster for me. Wait, I never did dig them very much! I'm going to have to make a change. I must say, writing when all other things are off your plate, does feel good. But, not getting enough sleep...this does NOT feel good. So how to address this dilemma? Which one has negative consequences in the short AND long term?
Lack of sleep is detrimental for your body and health. Your body does important rejuvenation work when you are sleeping. When you sleep less, you rejuvenate less. Eventually, this catches up with you. For some the affects can take longer, but for others , they could start suffering immediately.
For me, lack of sleep has become a norm, well with the baby and all. If you are not sleeping enough, whatever your reason, then you have to ask, how do you help your body rejuvenate when you can only get a few hours of rest a night, instead of the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep?
I try to take short breaks throughout the day. I will brew a hot cup of tea and close my eyes for a few seconds. Do a sun salutation as the sun streams through my windows. My daughter enjoys when I am doing this too! When she takes a nap, and if I don't have too many things piled up on my desk, I will take a hot steaming shower, or meditate. I call these my mini-vacations. Before I started taking mini-vacations, I thought I was going to lose my mind. The mini-vacations really do wonders for helping me feel rested and taken care of. As a solopreneur, I am the biggest asset for my company. So staying alert, and aware, as well as participating, and listening all require my best self, a healthy me!
Now it's your turn. Tell me, how do you take the time you need to rejuvenate? And.. what's your favorite act of rejuvenation?

This year's Bonnaroo music and arts festival is officially underway. From June 13-16, nearly 80,000 Bonnaroovians, as they call themselves, will gather at a 700 acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee. For three days, the Bonnaroo farm will become the seventh largest city in Tennessee. The lineup features the expected caliber of big names, including Paul McCartney, Wilco, Wu-Tang Clan, Portugal. The Man and Nas. But a city of 80,000 needs many amenities, and the festival organizers have found some insane ones:

1. The Roo Planet Academy You know what everyone is looking for right when school ends. THAT'S RIGHT, MORE SCHOOL! The Academy has scheduled a full four days of free classes and workshops for anyone at Bonnaroo to attend. The schedule includes Wilderness 101, Check Yourself for Skin Cancer, Breakthrough w/ Breakdancing, Hula Hoop lessons and Crush Your Own Carbon. The classes begin at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday and the last one starts at 5 p.m. on Sunday. Bonnaroo celebrates every form of the arts.
2. The Silent Disco Ah, the bafflingly prevalent silent disco. Those who attend the silent dance party will throw on a pair of headphones, turn up the volume and listen through their personal earbuds to live DJs spinning beats. Everyone at the dance party will have earbuds in and be listening to the DJ's mixes playing directly to their headphones, on a dance floor that will be silent and very weird to everyone else.
3. Yoga-Roo For the second year, Bonnaroo has created a series of yoga, meditation and breathing sessions. Classes are scheduled all day from Friday through Sunday. The yoga series was extremely popular last year, so they have enhanced the classes this year. Because nothing goes better with dance music in the distance and hangovers than ancient searches for inner peace.
4. Zimride Planning too many extracurricular activities to drive? No worries: On the zimride.com page for Bonarroo, the adventurous looking to carpool to Bonnaroo can link up with people who have have open seats in their car. People advertise the number of open seats in their car, a price and the city they are heading out of. Those looking for a ride can contact them via the website. People will get themselves to the Roo in any way they can, making friends on the way. Because how else will the festival extend its footprint to each coast?

5. Bonnaroo Victory Garden In case you were wondering why your peas aren't coming back, the historically inaccurately named Bonnaroo Victory Garden is located in Planet Roo outside the post office (yes, there is a post office at Bonnaroo). At the victory garden, you can learn how to grow your own garden. There will be volunteers at the garden throughout the festival to answer any gardening questions people may have. There will even be classes held about how to garden in small places, how to compost and even how to plant your own Shiitake mushrooms. The Victory Garden is equipped with a full schedule of its happenings.
6. Inforoo.com Because using your face to ask another face a question would be such a challenging, unwelcoming prospect, the website inforoo.com was created as a place where all Bonnaroo questions, concerns, rumors and tips could be discussed. The site includes guidelines for first-timers, communication for caravaners and threads about airport transportation. There are conversations going for nearly every genre of intrigue. People can register to the site to participate, starting threads about literally anything Bonnaroo-related. Check out this thread making a shout out to all attendees 35 and up.
7. The Annual Bonnaroo Beard and Mustache Competition Of course this exists. It even has a hashtag. No wait, we'll tell you: #Roostache. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Bonnaroo invites all to show up at the Solar Stage to show off their facial hair creations. The three categories in the competitions are best mustache, best beard and best fake beard or mustache, and the winners win tickets to Bonnaroo 2014. There are even official Bonnaroo beard and mustache contest rules. They take it pretty seriously.
8. Roo Run Like any good town, Bonnaroo has a charity run. Bonnaroovians are invited to participate in a 5K across the Manchester farm. Participants register for the race before hand and donate $5 to the Bonnaroo Works Fund. Runners can win prizes, even if they drop out of the race. Check out the map of the race. Just another crazy activity to add to the festival's itinerary.
9. Roll Like a Rockstar I know what you're thinking: Camping is great, but what I really want is plush couches, refrigerators and chauffeurs. Us too! Fortunately, Bonarroo offers the Roll Like A Rockstar tickets purchased in a package of eight.
The lucky group of friends with this access will party all weekend long in multiple VIP lounges around the farm. They will enjoy three gourmet meals a day, open bars and exclusive main-stage viewing. Each set of tickets comes with a a private air-conditioned tour bus that comfortably sleeps all eight people. Not to mention, they are located in a secured private wooded area super close to the Main Venue and Centaroo. Along with private bathrooms and executive showers on the campground, the air-conditioned lounges are equipped with flat-screens, microwaves, stereo systems and pretty much anything you would not imagine having at the tip of your fingers during a music festival. When these lucky campers arrive, their buses will be pre-stocked with goodies they've requested. The most lavish accommodation: 24-hour golf cart service to chauffeur attendees around the festival.
So, what does something like this cost? A whopping $3,000 per person. That's a pretty price to pay to roll as Roo royalty. The most amazing part. The passes are sold out!

10. Rootreat (Pod 2) Pods are little community centers that are placed all around the festival for people to gather and mingle. They are the hubs for security, information booths, medical service, etc. Pod 2 is really something funky. Pod 2, also known as Rootreat, will host ceremonies and classes.
Rootreat can be spotted by its brand new sculpture of rhythm and steel that reaches high enough to be seen from a ways away. Various yoga and meditation classes are held there, as well as ceremonies such as quinceañera-, bar mitzvah- and baptism-redos. Apparently last year a couple renewed their vows here. Now that is insane. Way to go Bonnaroo, next year let's go for a town hall and a library.

What part of the bottle do you drink out of, if there is no straw?
- james asked 2 years ago
No no straw just a screw off lid is all
- rakib answered 2 years ago
Just the bottle itself. I suppose if you're driving you can always insert a super long straw. I ended up buying this bottle as a 2nd back-up for my hubby whom is a route driver and needs two water thin & tall water bottles to get him through his work day in his hot company vehicle. The other water bottle I bought him is called Hydracentials and it does have a built-in straw. The Hydracentials is by far the favorite. Super cold & last longer than anything and the built-in non-leakable straw is the best invention ever! http://www.amazon.com/Hydracentials-Sporty-Double-Insulated-Stainless/dp/B016Z39ISA

Peters Marsh Wildlife Area
Peters Marsh Wildlife Area covers 1,687 acres. The property is made up of a variety of habitat types including forests, fields, wetlands and native grass lands. This variety of cover provides homes to numerous wildlife species including waterfowl, ruffed grouse, deer, turkey, black bear, woodcock, snowshoe hare, beaver and many others.
Hunters, hikers and birdwatchers alike will enjoy all that this property has to offer. There are six parking areas that provide access to more than ten miles of improved grass walking trails. Motorized vehicle travel is prohibited.
Peters Marsh is located on county Highway A nine miles northeast of Antigo.
- Management
Peters Marsh has undergone many changes. During the late 1800's this area was extensively logged for white pine and hemlock. During the 1930's wildfires kept the new forest from maturing. As a result these fires early succession species such as aspen dominate the area. Modern forest management practices have maintained this timber type to this day.

Pest Identification: Dragonflies
Most Common Types
Dragonflies are the most common member of the Odonata order of carnivorous insects. There are several species in the United States. Dragonflies are considered large flying insects and have been on earth for many, many years.
What They Look Like
Dragonflies have large multifaceted eyes, long thin bodies, and hold their two pairs of wings flat at their sides when at rest. While immature dragonflies are brown or green, adults are very colorful and may be bright red, blue, yellow, or green.
Where They Live
Dragonflies are found throughout the world. They thrive on freshwater and live around marshes, ponds, and slow-moving streams. The fast-flying insects occasionally leave their watery habitat to hunt and may be seen buzzing through fields and other open areas at speeds reaching 30 miles per hour.
Where They Nest
Dragonflies hatch from eggs in freshwater and spend several months to several years as aquatic predators. After molting numerous times, winged adult dragonflies emerge from the water and live through the warm months of summer. When temperatures are below 65°F, the insects hide in vegetation.
Steps to Prevent
Dragonflies live in the wild. They rarely invade homes – only when they accidentally get in through an open door or window. It is not necessary to control their population.
Are They Harmful?
Dragonflies are beneficial insects which eat mosquitos, flies, ants, wasps, and other pests. While tales were once told about dragonflies stabbing or stinging people, these stories are untrue; dragonflies are not harmful to humans.

Movie Trailers
SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN Trailer Starring Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt
I'm sure you already know what we're talking about. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is the project which comes from director Lasse Hallstrom and has an awesome cast on board.
That's more than enough for us to share the first trailer for the whole thing and some great photos that feature leading stars Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt.
Sometimes we feel like going against the flow… That's probably the best message you'll get from this movie.
At first look, quite boring story, but trust me, we're dealing with one interesting comedic drama here!
Movie centers on a fisheries expert (I had no idea that even exists) played by great McGregor, who is approached by a consultant, played by Blunt to help realize a sheik's vision of bringing fly-fishing to the Yemen.
Soon, they go on a journey to make what seems to be the impossible, possible.
The rest of the cast includes Kristin Scott Thomas, Rachael Stirling, Amr Waked, Tom Mison, Catherine Steadman and Jill Baker.
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen opens on March 2nd, 2012.

the register has some info on amd's new desktop athlon core. the palomino athlon core is expected to be released sometime in october now, possibly on october 12. amd will be using a performance rating instead of the normal clock speed to compare it to the pentium 4, and they will be calling the new athlon the "athlon xp" to coincide with microsoft's newest operating system. the register is very critical of the name, but in reality it's a very smart idea for amd. surely not everyone will embrace the name, but windows xp should be around for the next couple of years, and also arrives in october. the reg posted a list of clock speeds/performance ratings as follows:
1.333ghz 1500+
1.400ghz 1600+
1.467ghz 1700+
1.500ghz 1800+
1.600ghz 1900+
it's too bad that amd may not release a 2000+ part. however, there's always the chance that they could. the numbers are pretty suspect, especially a 33mhz boost between 1700+ and 1800+ making any real kind of noticeable difference. we'll have to wait for october to see what the real deal is, but these numbers are interesting for now.

|boxed processors (2:38pm est tue sep 18 2001)
i've got to build a system for my parents, and i'm planning to get a boxed 1.4 ghz athlon. that is: boxed with heatsink / fan pre-attached. the last thing i need is to get a call from them saying that the computer stopped working because some 3rd party heatsink was off by 1 mm. consider a boxed processor if you go amd. they also come with a 3 year warranty for what it's worth. oem processors are for the truly hardcore that must overclock or have to use a better heatsink than spec for no particular reason. – by robgeek

this is just a heat snik falling off look in the other articals today. the 1.2 ghz palomino fries in an instant, what would at 1.6 ghz palomino core fry in?? – by eric_dwyer
|just a reminder (2:47pm est tue sep 18 2001)
ya but toms hardware also state that mb damage is a major risk. and with a higher clock speed that means higher temps and that makes it more likely to cause splash damage when it goes. – by eric_dwyer
|too many names… (5:00pm est tue sep 18 2001)
its good that they are devising the athlons from each other but normal people(not us geeks) may get confused and not realize that the athlon 4 is really athlon xp. plus they add in the mp too, but there isnt too many consumers who will deal with that anyway. – by jason o.

if they also list the clock speed, so us cognoscenti will know what the hell the part is, i don't see a problem. – by rdn
|amd knows what they're doing. (7:05pm est tue sep 18 2001)
amd is making smart moves, even if certain people don't realize it. they are calling it athlon xp, they are releasing it in conjunction with windows xp, and they are going to launch with a major advertisment campaign. the launch of windows xp is the only major even in the pc industry this year as far as the mainstream computer-buying public is concerned. linking the athlon to that product, and convincing consumers that the two go hand-in-hand, is going to mean big $$$ for amd. – by mterlouw

linuxxp!! oh, whoops, i read the box wrong. this pirated software that boasts all kinds of cool features that were ripped off from real power os's such as unix and linux and even novell netware came in a box labeled "windowsxp".
sorry about the confusion – by the scavenger
|i think there is a small error (10:27pm est tue sep 18 2001)
look at the progression
speed rating multiplier (133 mhz fsb)
1.333ghz 1500+ 10
1.400ghz 1600+ 10.5
1.467ghz 1700+ 11
1.500ghz 1800+ 11.25
1.600ghz 1900+ 12
the 1.500 ghz should be 1.533ghz because the 133mhz(266ddr) fsb of the althon allows 66 mhz increments in clock speed. the multiplier of a 1.500 ghz althon would be 11.25 and i do not think amd chips allow 1/4 increments.

|i applaud amd (8:15am est wed sep 19 2001)
originally, when amd first made mention of their model number convention, i thought they were crazy. but, i'm really beginning to see how brilliant a move it is.
they started this year with the athlon 4 (their mobile athlon). next, they're going to a model number convention (to coincide with pentium). and, now they're going with the "xp" nomenclature to immediately (in the consumer mind) put this chip alongside windows xp (which will be the operating system of choice for time to come).
i think it's a brilliant idea, and i'm betting that intel wishes they'd thought of it. :)
– by rick c. hodgin
|bad idea, amd (11:40am est wed sep 19 2001)
first, amd is defining their own products in terms of their competitor's. this makes intel the innovator, and amd the producer of cheap knock-offs, a perception i thought amd wanted to dispel. second, pr numbers border on misleading advertising, and amd is going to get a reputation for dishonesty.
i know that mhz is not a good measure of performance. so why doesn't amd substitute a better number, like specint or winstone? that would be honest, and still make amd look competitive. – by eric hanneken
|because chowderheads understand mhz (12:16pm est wed sep 19 2001)
i hear intel even did a market study on whether going to 1 gigahertz would harm them (because 1 sounds smaller than 1000). chowderheads are remarkably out of tune about such things.
i think amd's approach is remarkably brilliant from an entirely different perspective: they appear to have chosen pr numbers that don't quite compete with intel's mhz. gaming theory: by always being "just barely" behind intel, they satisfy consumer expectations, leaving room for all the benchmark metricians to show that the pr is still under real performance. so, underdog buyers can still be smugly happy.
still and all, didn't someone say a few weeks ago that amd just needs to invent a new chip with a longer pipe – and no performance drop, to get "real" mhz number up?
– by lo, sell hi.
|definately check the cooling… (12:23pm est wed sep 19 2001)
i was building a system a week ago and it kept freezing, come to find out the heatsink is some cheap one that was not even made for athlons however the company that sells it says it is, so it kept overheating and freezing, good thing i was fast on the off button or it might have burned too… – by xi0n
|athlon xp (12:57pm est wed sep 19 2001)
athlon xp is a fantastic marketing move by amd that in all honestly could beat intel. thank god the 'techies' have finally understood the power o marketing and that the average consumer doesnt really care about processing power so much now.
now they need to turn their attention to product design. when are we going to have pcs that look as good as macs. when they do this is i'll certainly buy a new athlonxp machine. – by rik
|athlon xp (12:58pm est wed sep 19 2001)
now they need to turn their attention to product design. when are we going to have pcs that look as good as macs. when companies realise consumers are more likely to buy based on assthetics as much as power then they might sell many more athlonxp machines.
athlon xp incidently is a fantastic marketing move by amd that in all honestly could beat intel. thank god the 'techies' have finally understood the power o marketing and that the average consumer doesnt really care about processing power so much now.

|athlon xp (6:45pm est mon oct 06 2003)
i used a 1800+ i am happy with it it rocks. amd is doing a great job with the marketing of their processor i agree all the way. they run good and i am using the stock heat sink and doing good acutally i am running at cpu temp. 102f and systemboard i get about 89f. so that is good with the stock heatsink. – by jase
|amd with windows xp (4:37pm est sun nov 16 2003)
i don't get the whole, "it's designed for windows xp" thought process. how is it designed for windows xp specifically? however, when i bought my new athlon xp 2500+ computer i also got a copy of windows xp just to be sure. – by donald e. sterling

Christianity Today had a good piece recently about the misuse of the phrase "Religious Right." The piece points out how the label is often used inaccurately and how it has developed an overly pejorative connotation. The piece also notes that it is especially problematic when "Religious Right" and "evangelical" are used as if they are synonyous. The only part of the piece that is really off-target is when Richard Land talks about "the so-called 'religious right'" as if he is an outsider and not part of this political wing of the conservative Christian movement. Despite that part, it is a good piece that reminds us to carefully consider the meanings and implications of the words we use.
Religious Right?

Five Things Even The "Best" Graphic Design Schools Won't Teach You
If you are going to school to become a graphic artist or website designer, you will hopefully learn everything you need to succeed professionally in the workplace. At least, that's the theory. In reality, there are at least five things no school, even the best ones, will teach you.
Project Management
No class will ever teach you how to manage your time and resources for a project – not directly, anyway. The projects you take on in the workplace will force you to adjust to a deadline-centered work style that often requires you to work with colleagues that are on completely different schedules. The best way to get ahead of the curve? Take on leading roles in group projects while you're still in college. This will help you flex your delegating muscles and force you to time manage more efficiently. It also looks great to professors, who can be vital resources both during and after your education.
Client Relationship Nurturing
Your textbooks, although they are full of important information, probably won't have chapters on how to relate to people. On your own, you'll find it is best to be warm, but professional when working with clients, and maintaining relationships with them is more than just sending an email when you need something. It's important to be flexible and ready to compromise, but not to sell yourself short. In the professional realm, you'll have to learn that being a website designer, an advertising guru or a visual artist won't maintain your customer base… you will also have to remember to be human.
Business Development
What class can you take that teaches you how to make life-changing, extremely personal business decisions, like when to expand or hire your first employee – or how? By the time you're building your own business, you'll likely be out of school and having a hard time finding the answers to these questions. Maintaining relationships with professors is one way to get advice post-graduation, but you'll also have to learn what is best for you and your business the hard way. The old saying goes, if you fall down seven times, stand up eight.
When you're developing your business or client base, many schools will not have taught you how to reach out to it. There are, of course, classes and textbooks devoted to marketing and advertising, but what if that isn't your focus? Many schools require that your declared major be marketing, advertising or public relations to take those. You have to be able to put yourself out there for people to hire you, but you may have to find out how on your own. The first, possibly most important step to this is also something you won't learn in a classroom, and that's…
Branding Yourself
The need to build an outstanding portfolio is one of the most often repeated, but not taught, concepts in graphic design schools. In order to land a job, a future client or employer needs to see your best work and be satisfied with your ability to perform to their standards. Have a physical portfolio ready for interviews, but also prepare an online portfolio and social media accounts so you can be researched. With a little initiative and an education at MADE, you can unlock your potential as a website designer to make your portfolio represent your personality and style.
Whether you're starting your education or coming back to school with hopes of learning a few of these core concepts, M.A.D.E. is designed to give students all the skills they need to succeed in the professional realm, both during and after graduation. Without any unnecessary elective requirements, students become graduates sooner, and have an education that gives them an edge in the job market or when starting their own business.
