Event Description
The Harlem Renaissance is credited as one of the most creative and intellectually productive eras in African American history and for its lasting influence on American culture. From its beginning following WWI (1918) and through the early 1930s, as African Americans moved north, this pivotal movement galvanized musicians, writers, and visual artists such as Duke Ellington, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Romare Bearden, Eldzier Cortor, Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Archibald J. Motley, and Henry Ossawa Tanner, among many others. Themes of identity and cultural legacy were paramount—as was a commitment to experimentation and a determination to realistically express the African American experience.
Harlem Renaissance: Contemporary Response consists of an exciting and diverse collection of works representing both invited, established St. Louis artists as well as a juried selection of entries submitted by local emerging artists ranging from high school age to 24—all finding inspiration from the artists and the period.
This exhibit is presented in tandem with COCA's 30th Anniversary production of Uptown, April 7–9. Created by Matthew Rushing, Rehearsal Director at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Uptown creates a vibrant tour through 1920s Harlem bringing the era to life. First performed by Ailey in 2009, it has been reimagined to include all five of COCA's pre-professional dance, voice and theatre companies as well as musicians from Jazz St. Louis in a showcase celebration of the power of the arts.
Harlem Renaissance: Contemporary Response is presented with the support from the Whitaker Foundation and the Missouri Humanities Council.
The Millstone Gallery is presented by the Arthur and Helen Baer Charitable Foundation with additional support from the Millstone Foundation and the Missouri Arts Council.

TE President receives ITF award for services to the game and General Secretary elected Vice-President of (ATF)
Dubai: The President of Tennis Emirates (TE) has complimented the efforts of the governing body in consolidating the base of the sport in the UAE.
Shaikh Hasher Al Maktoum, President, TE, was on Monday presented with the 2015 ITF Award for 'Services to the Game' in the presence of Saeed Hareb, General Secretary, Dubai Sports Council (DSC), and several members of the TE Board of Directors, including Abdul Rahman Falaknaz, Sara Baker and Ahmad Abdul Malek.
Shaikh Hasher said he was pleased with the way the TE board of directors has been working behind the scenes in promoting the sport in schools and clubs across the UAE.
"For a start we have started going into schools and local clubs to get youngsters to join our grassroots programme. The idea is to ensure these youngsters get the right direction in tennis from a very early age," Shaikh Hasher told Gulf News.
"Secondly, we have been working closely with the various academies and tennis training centres in the UAE so that we can achieve common goals of producing players for the country. It has been tough going for tennis during the past couple of years, but I am confident of a bright future with all the grassroots work that is being done," he added.
Shaikh Hasher was particularly appreciative of the efforts put in by TE General Secretary Sara Baker, who was earlier this week elected Vice-President of the Asian Tennis Federation (ATF) at the AGM held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Baker is the only woman so far to be elected to the second-highest position in the ATF.
"She [Baker] fully deserves this honour for all the hard work she has put in over the past two years. This appointment is not just recognition of her work but also an example for women in Asia," Hareb noted.
"I am sure that her election to Asia's highest tennis body will help sustain the sport here and bring out a breed of players who will serve the national team in the long run," he hoped.
Abdul Rahman Falaknaz, Vice-President, TE, was proud to have Baker as part of the tennis governing body in the UAE. "She has contributed to the growth of tennis in the UAE, and now it is time for her to give back something to Asia. We wish her all the best," Falaknaz said.

LONDON–An oil-services helicopter crashed into the North Sea Monday with 19 people on board, the U.K. coastguard and the operating company said Monday. No one was killed.
After a major search-and-rescue operation, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said all those on board were accounted for.
The MCA said the helicopter was believed to be on its way from Aberdeen to the West Phoenix drilling rig in the Laggan and Tormore fields that are operated by Total SA (TOT).
Separately, operator CHC Helicopter confirmed an "incident" involving one of its aircraft at 1530 local time approximately 50 kilometers southwest of Shetland, an archipelago that marks the division of the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea.
According to its website, CHC operates Sikorsky, Agusta-Westland and Eurocopter helicopters in the U.K.

from http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/342703-us-slams-russia-for-ban-on-jehovahs-witnesses
The State Department on Wednesday slammed the Russian Supreme Court's decision to ban Jehovah's Witnesses from practicing in the country, which considers them an "extremist" group.
"The Russian Supreme Court's decision this week against the Jehovah's Witnesses is the latest in a disturbing trend of persecution of religious minorities in Russia," said State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert in a statement.
Nauert urged the court to reversed the ban.
"We urge the Russian authorities to lift the ban on Jehovah's Witnesses' activities in Russia, to reverse the closing of the Jehovah's Witnesses Administrative Center, and to release any members of religious minorities that continue to be unjustly detained for so-called 'extremist' activities," the statement said.
Nauert also called on the Kremlin "to respect the right of all to exercise the freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief."
Last week, Russia's Supreme Court ruled to uphold a ruling in April that called the Christian group an "extremist" organization.

A Letter from Sripad Visnudaivata Maharaja
by BV Vishnu Daivata Maharaja
I am still distributing books religiously 🙂 on the Bangalore railway station. I have collected the email addresses of the most of the people I met on the railway station. I have received a mobile with a camera. I can take some pictures also. However, do not know how to transfer them to the computer.
My books are finished. I have distributed all the books that were donated mercifully by the GVP sponsorship program. The collected laksmi was handed over to Sripada BV Dandi Maharaja for the Bangalore Farm. I have no words to express the gratefulness of showering books on me. I assure you that anything you give to Sri Ranganatha Gaudiya Matha will be used to the best service of propagating the mission of Srila Gurudeva.
As you know, the most of the people I meet on the railway station are software people or armed forces people. They eagerly want to read the books. The Butter Thief, secrets of the Undiscovered Self and Way of Love books are in great demand. Harmony book is also well-appreciated, a lot of people snatched it from my hands.

Green Ideas: Flow 2 The Living Kitchen
Kitchens haven't changed that much in the last 50 years. Sure, some appliances have been updated, but most things remain the same. Can the kitchen as a whole be made more sustainable and productive? Isn't there a better way to do the things we have to do in order to eat? These are the questions addressed by the Flow 2 concept kitchen.
This living kitchen concept was created by Oregon designers John Arndt and Wonhee Jeong of Studio Gorm. They have designed a kitchen where waste products are used to grow plants. When you are drying dishes, the water goes to plants in terracotta containers. Food scraps and kitchen garbage are broken down by worms since up to 40% of household waste can be composted. This nets fertilizer which is used to feed the plants. A double-walled terracotta containers acts like a fridge since most foodstuffs don't actually need to be cooled down that much. It's cooled down as water evaporates through the outer wall. In this kitchen, nature and technology are integrated symbiotically.
The flow products can be used independently but are far more effective when they work in concert as part of the larger system. The individual objects are relatively uncomplicated, acting as simple vehicles for the more complex natural processes to do the work. This kitchen is developed as a flexible system where resources are reused by several elements creating a dynamic flow between the products. The flow kitchen focuses on three major problem areas in the kitchen Waste, Water and Energy.
This incredible project is part of an exhibition called Call and Response at the Museum of Contemporary Craft in Oregon. It will be on display until October 31. The only problem that we can think of is the smell. Creating compost and decomposing waste must not smell very good. The kitchen is usually a place that has to be very clean since food is prepared it in. We wonder how this can be managed. For sure, these ideas can be implemented by sections, ie leaving the compost outside.

Let's face it, we completely overachieved last season. Winning the Eredivisie even when put in to the context of our miserable European display was a fantastic way to end the season. The challenge going in to my second season in charge would be to build on that successful first season and show that we can go on to become perennial domestic challengers as well as making progress in our ability to handle European football.
How though should we be going about that? The financial reality of the Eredivisie is that there is little money out with the likes of Ajax and PSV and we will need a prolonged period of years in European competition to get to the stage that we can spend serious money. Let's not forget as well that I'm trying to loosely follow the Moneyball mantra and therefore I am going in to my first effective pre season planning to spend markedly more on wages than I am on transfer fees this should allow us to attract quality to the club in the short term.
I'm fully expecting the second season to be more of a challenge than the first. Ajax and PSV especially will both strengthen and to an extent we will be re ranked meaning that the AI will adapt their approach to playing us. I did not however expect the shit to start hitting the fan within a couple of days of the end of the season.
There I was sitting in my imaginary managerial office with my feet on my imaginary desk basking in the glow of my success when my Chilean midfield maestro Felipe Gutierrez wandered in to my office spouting some nonsense about my not keeping a promise that I had made him. During the first season Gutierrez had come to me concerned that he wanted to be playing Champions League football for the good of his career. At this point the Chilean was my stand out player and he was one that I really REALLY didn't want to lose, I managed to work my silver tongue and convinced Felipe to stick around telling him that I would give him the Champions League football he craved and crucially that we had some excellent young players that I was looking to develop to get us there. This appeased Felipe and he agreed to give me a season to get us there. Now, I fully expected that having not only qualified for the Champions League but having qualified directly for the group stages he would be a happy bunny, but no. Felipe was mad that I hadn't developed the young players sufficiently…..WHAT? Oudh-Chikh and Tapia alone had come on leaps and bounds and a number of other young player had played significant minutes and contributed to the success of the season. What a dick.
This all stems from an apparent interest in the Chilean from Pep Guardiola and Bayern Munich. Let's be realistic here, if a bid from Bayern was to materialise then could I really justify standing in his way and keeping him at Twente? No I couldn't. There are two problems here though 1.) THERE WAS NO BID and 2.) He had a chance to show what he could do over two games against Bayern in the Champions League groups stage and he was the worst player on the pitch each time!
Eventually though I was able to appease Gutierrez again along with Hakim Ziyech who was casting envious glances at the likes of Roma, Juventus and……Everton?? This did however reinforce in my mind that I needed a contingency plan for each position and I needed it now. More on that later.
As my second season drew close there were only two significant departures from the first team squad that had done so well the season before. I grew tired of Kasper Kusk throwing his toys out of the pram for one reason or another and he was allowed to leave for Ajax for £3.5M plus assorted add ons. I also sold off the second shadow striker from the first team with Mexican Jesus Corona leaving for Sporting Lisbon for £5M plus add ons again. I took my time in deciding to sell Corona as I really liked his direct style and his ability to beat players but his final product was just too inconsistent so off he went.
This left me in a bit of a bind in terms of squad management as for three attacking players I essentially had Hakim Ziyech, Bilal Oudh-Chikh and at a push the Bosnian Semir Gvodjar to fill the positions. At this point though the Football Manager gods decided to throw me a bone at long last and an email appeared in my inbox from an agent informing me that his client Ibrahim Afellay was available on a free transfer. Even when Afellays notable injury history this was still a no brainer and since there was no transfer fee involved I was happy to pay £16K per week to secure his signature. We were still however light in an attacking sense but this also preceded a tactical change.
In my initial update I showed by slightly unorthodox tactical system with a wide three man defence at the base and a narrow three man attack in the attacking midfield strata. It didn't feel quite right though and after reading this article by Adin Osmanbasic on positional play and the importance of depth and staggered attacks I changed the system to look like this;
Sometimes small tweaks can make all the difference and in an attacking sense the player in possession of the ball now has more options at different angles and the AI is finding it increasingly difficult to defend against us whether in transition or in more prolonged attacking periods. Using a False 9 in the striker position means that he is still dropping in to similar areas that the shadow striker occupied, he just has more of an attacking threat when on the ball. The change on the other side of the three AM's was to switch roles from shadow striker to attacking midfielder with a support duty. Now the attack is fully staggered and marking our players is an extremely difficult task.
Using a false nine in my attack though meant a shift of emphasis and although the aforementioned Semir Gvodjar was comfortable in that role I still don't think he's quite ready. Cue a loan swoop for the Cameroon striker Jean-Marie Dongou from Barcelona B. Initially I hadn't planned on using the loan market at all but my own youth team isn't ready to provide players for the first team so I decided to make use of others youth setups in the short term. I remember hearing an interview with Roberto Martinez once when he was asked about Evertons reliance on the loan system, his point was that if it is a choice between having these players as one year rentals or not having them at all then it's best to have them for that one year.
I made three other notable moves before the season started with last years player of the season being available on a free transfer as his contract expired I jumped at the chance to sign him up as with Afellay I was happy to pay him slightly higher wages (£13.5k per week) than I would have otherwise because there was no transfer fee. My other main transfer did however come with a fee, and a sizeable one at that with Serbian midfielder Nemanja Gudelj joining from rivals AZ Alkmaar. AZ had initially refused to sell to me but with Gudelj seemingly willing to wait out his contract they eventually sold for a bargain £3.1M. The beauty of the Gudelj signing is that he fits my philosophy of signing universal players and he can fill four different roles within our tactical system although I plan to play him most often in the central midfield role. The third new signing to come in was another loan signing from Barcelona B as Alex Grimaldo came in to add depth at the left back position.
With all those comings and goings I would certainly say that we had strengthened and despite losing the Dutch Super Cup 2-1 to a PSV side led by Memphis Depay we went on an 11 game streak without losing in the league until we came unstuck at home to Groningen losing 1-0. A second defeat in the first half of the season 3-1 away to Vitesse meant that we went in to the winter break trailing Vitesse by 2 points. More pleasingly we managed to defeat Ajax and Feyenoord over the first few months and drew 1-1 away to PSV. We need to stop throwing points away against the 'smaller sides' though.
You may remember that we all but disgraced ourselves in the European competition in my first season in charge failing to even progress from a weak Europa League group. This time however things would be very different. We were drawn in a difficult group for my first crack at the Champions League with Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Anderlecht but in the first three games we managed to beat both Anderlecht and Spurs although we completely capitulated in Munich and we were on the end of a 5-0 hiding. Over the course of the second lot of fixtures we drew away to Spurs and once again beat Anderlecht to see us going in to the final group game at the top of the group with the advantage. Unfortunately the team that we faced in the last match were Bayern who were sitting in third spot. In typical Football Manager style we failed gloriously after conceding from an 88th minute penalty we lost 1-0 and the final table saw Spurs and Bayern progress with 10 points each, we finish third…..with 10 points. Bastards, ah well though there is always the Europa League.
At the halfway point I usually evaluate my squad for strenghts and weaknesses although I am always loathe to but in January are there is very rarely any real value in the market. This time though my hand was forced slightly by the ungrateful Samuel Inkoom with my starting right back hearing that Fenerbache were interested he decided to try to force a move. I eventually accepted a bid of £3M plus clauses which for a player that was signed for free and whom seemed to be regressing was a windfall. I also needed cover in the central midfield areas (AP, AM and CM) just to combat tiredness and injury. Both solutions were presented by the side that I put out of European competition with Anderlecht choosing to make Dennis Praet and Chancel Mbemba available for loan and both were brought in until the end of the season.
Over the second half of the season we managed to lose somewhat inexplicably to SC Cambuur (3-1) GA Eagles (3-1) Vitesse (2-1) and Feyenoord (2-0) but somehow we still managed to end the season on top of the table by three points from Vitesse. It was a bizzare stretch of games where no one team seemed to be able to put together any consistent form. I maintain that our form was so poor as a direct result of playing Thursday night football as we progressed in the Europa League. Once again however we managed to beat both Ajax and PSV so there is a positive spin on things. In terms of performance we were only 5th in terms of goals scored but once again we conceded the fewest amount of goals, again showing that the wide three defensive system is much more solid than it appears.
Our run in the Europa League was equally eventful as we finally proved that we can cut it in European football. The first round saw us drawn against Galatasaray and it took a late goal from Dongou to salvage a 2-1 defeat in Istanbul. In the return leg a second half penalty – Dongou again put us through on away goals. Next up were Newcastle United and I was expecting a stiffer test, I was wrong. A 3-0 win in the home leg and a 2-1 win in the away leg put us through comfortably. This time three of the goals were scored by our promising Bosnian striker Semir Gvodjar. The ties however seemed to be getting progressively harder and in the quarter final we drew Shakhtar Donetsk. In the first leg away from home we went 2-0 down in the first 20 minutes and it looked as though we were going to be hammered. In the second half though two goals from Nemanja Gudelj (his first for the club) and one from Ibrahim Afellay gave us a 3-2 win. In the second leg a last minute goal from our talisman Hakim Ziyech just eased the nerves a little bit. Onwards and upwards then and all that stood between us and a European final was Valencia. In the home leg Dongou scored an early penalty but we couldn't hold on and eventually they were able to break through and score an equaliser, more importantly it was an away goal. In the second leg from out of nowhere we scored twice through Tyler Blackett and Renato Tapia and even though they scored late on it still wasn't enough. We were in the final!! and the opponents? Marseille.
Just to put the semi final victory in context this Valencia side won La Liga this season!!
We were clear underdogs in the final although you could argue that in Shakhtar and Valencia we had already beaten two superior sides. Frustratingly my side appeared to forget how to score in the run to the end of the season and no matter how many shots at goal we took in this match the ball would just not go in. Marseille had the ball in the net in the second half but it was disallowed for offside. Eventually the tie went to penalty kicks and then from there on to sudden death. The ignominy of being the player that lost us the match came to right back Chancel Mbemba with the last kick of his loan spell. We lost. It's hard to be disappointed though since I never thought we had a hope of getting as far as we did.
In terms of players of the season it was difficult to narrow it down to just three. Renato Tapia switched to the halfback role when Gudelj came in and made it his own. Nemanja Gudelj himself was imperious in the midfield and Ibrahim Afellay was in sparkling form for much of the season. I did eventually settle on three though.
3.) Jean-Marie Dongou – In 45 appearances Dongou scored 33 goals and was largely responsible for our run to the final of the Europe League. I thought at one point during the season that I may have had a chance of a permanent transfer as he rejected a new contract from Barcelona. Ultimately I was the victim of his success and he signed an extension. He is still very much on my shortlist for the future though.
2.) Tyler Blackett – For a free transfer to have the kind of season that he had was simply phenomenal. He played 51 games with an average rating of 7.79 and made over 500 interceptions over the course of the season. He also only made 5 mistakes that led to goals over those 51 games and for a role that is isolated in my tactical system that is a great return. English sides have noticed now though and he is being followed by over 10 sides. Can I keep him next season?
1.) Hakim Ziyech – 20 goals and 20 assists over the course of 40 games. Ziyech is the conductor of my orchestra and is imperious in the advanced playmaker role. I've lost count of the amount of clubs that have placed a bid for him but as of yet he has been happy to stay here and play his football. Long may it continue.
So what does the future hold? In the short term I will be looking to retain as much of our squad as possible and the immediate aim will be to retain the league title again and progress beyond the group stage of the Champions League. I certainly don't see myself leaving any time soon. So far I've rejected interviews with Malaga, Schalke, Inter, Roma, Milan, Fiorentina and Liverpool. I took an interview with Real Madrid but then when they offered me the job I couldn't do it.
I spend a significant amount of time creating role specific shortlists for first team players and youth players using ideas gleaned from this excellent article by Chris Darwen (@comeontheoviedo) and I strongly suggest that you give it a read and follow Chris on twitter.
Financially we are in an extremely healthy position for such a relatively small club with £48M in the bank. I have already had the board upgrade our training and youth facilities and will be looking to do so again at some point in the coming season.
In terms of the squad I have one player joining on freedom of contract with versatile German full back Anthony Jung coming from RB Leipzig. I will also be looking to strengthen the defence and midfield throughout the off season and of course we will need to have plans in place to replace any of our stars that do end up leaving. This time though I will be willing to spend….

'Stick It to Mitt' Won't Work
Bain Capital and Mitt in Massachusetts are not what's on voters' minds in 2012.
Five months from election day, the Axelrod-Plouffe-Obama machine already has thrown most of its kitchen sink at Mitt Romney. First came the vampires of Bain Capital and now this week's memo-dump of multiple failures in Massachusetts under Gov. Romney.
It's not sticking. It has to be driving the Obamaites bats that Mitt somehow seems to be passing through all this muck unmarked. At this rate we'll be calling him Teflon Mitt.

Corporate Law, Copyright Violations & Reselling Used Books
As a busy San Diego Corporate Lawyer, copyright violation cases are one of the most common matters we investigate. Copyright violations are nothing new. They happen frequently – and many are cut and dry.
Not, though, when it comes to the reselling of used books. This is a muddy area, and one that the U.S. Supreme Court is taking up right now.
Back in October 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on a case which may determine whether you will be able to sell a used book on eBay or other reseller web sites.

There is a new Photoshop app for the iPhone, and while it's very basic, it's an easy and fun way to make your photos look their best!
I'm surprised that it's free — even though there are only a few tools (crop/flip/resize, color/exposure/tint, and several effects), you can do so much.
Here are a few photos that I altered:
Mimosas at Toro
NYC Skyline
Fenway Gardens
As much fun as the "I Am T-Pain" app is (hello, vocoder!), I think this is my new favorite thing to do with my iPhone!

Container Garden Ideas
Container Gardens
7. Do not use wood treated with creosote, or other toxic compounds as they can damage the plants.
Be sure to choose a container that has adequate room for the soil and the plant or plants at its full maturity. One of the most common mistakes is using a pot that is just fine when you first started your plant, but is way too small for the full grown version.
Sprawling plants such as Strawberries will need a deep pot that can sustain a root system that also serves as an anchor.
Upright plants, such as Tomatoes require a wide base for balance.
Containers should have drainage holes at or near the base of the pot.
A layer of gravel 1 to 2 inches thick at the base of the pot is also advisable. As the plants grows and the root system expands, it will fill the container. The soil will dry more rapidly.
Vegetables best suited for container gardens are naturally the ones that require less space, dwarf or determinate varieties, that bear fruit over extended periods of time. Most require more than six hours of sunlight daily. Fruit bearing vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and eggplant require full sun. Leafy vegetables such as cabbage and lettuce, spinach, and parsley will thrive in more shady locations. Root vegetables such as radishes, turnips, onions and carrots require more sunlight. Herbs such as mint, basil, sage can perform well in either full sun and partial shade locations.
Naturally the more exposure to sunlight your plants receive the quicker they will loose moisture. In hot dry weather daily watering is required. Use your judgment otherwise . Don't overdo it - Don't under do it .
Self Watering Containers
It has been demonstrated that plants grow better in self-watering containers as opposed to traditional containers. In many cases, under proper care, they will also outperform vegetables grown in a traditional backyard garden.
Also - In self watering containers soil nutrients are not leached away by constant watering.
See - Self Watering Containers.
Don't use Garden soil, a good potting soil mix is best. A good potting soil mix with peat, and perlite or vermiculite to retain moisture longer. Perlite or vermiculite will also help keep the soil from compacting as the season progresses.
Lighter potting mixes drain water more rapidly and wash out the fertilizer as they drain. A diluted liquid fertilizer such as Liquid fish emulsion or some varieties of Miracle grow {Depending on the plant you are growing} once a week should resolve this issue. As with any fertilizer - don't get carried away. If you are considering Self Watering Containers, fertilizer is not as much of an issue, as nutrients are not leached away by constant watering.
We can be contacted via our Facebook Page - Feel Free to post any questions or Comments.
Thank You and Happy Gardening.

Most often, money is hard to come by and easy to lose track of, probably because we spend most of our time making it and the small time that's left over afterwards spending it. And while spending is certainly necessary in some capacity in order to survive, it's also certain that more often than not, we are spending in ways that actually make it harder for us to survive. So, how can the sickness of this cycle be stopped? By sitting down with your paycheck and teaching it a lesson.
#1 Predetermined planning
Once you're holding that paycheck in your hand, look at the total in the box and decide then and there how much of that amount will go straight to your savings account. Don't betray yourself, stick to your projected amount. Once it is filed away in your savings, considered it a lock box. Anything beyond the amount you've left yourself should remain unspent. If you've got itchy, spender's fingers, try setting up automatic deposits between your checking and savings accounts.
#2 Be sure when you shop
To be fortunate enough to live in a fast world where many material objects and physical relaxation experiences are available to us can sometimes lead to less than fortunate truths. When you're spending, be sure you're buying something you actually (at least sort of) need.
#3 Don't play cool
We like to say that after high school we don't care anymore about appearances – that is, appearances that reflect our financial standing. But we all know that it's all too easy to fall into this trap, spending more, collecting more clutter, eating out too often, simply because we want to save face in our social surroundings. Richard Browning of "this Is Money" puts it best: "Trying to keep up appearances is little more than a costly illness. Remember, you cannot judge someone by what they have because you don't know how they got it. Chances are they're in more debt than you are."
#4 Eat from home
Remember those brown bag lunches? There was a reason mom made you take the thing to school – to save. And as silly as it seems in retrospect the principle still applies. If you spend a small amount of money each day on one or two meals, this adds up to an unappetizing figure by month's end. Dave Ramsey, financial consultant and author of many acclaimed money-making books, assures us that, though it seems like an insignificant step to save in small ways, "putting these steps into practice will help you experience more and more freedom. Just like anyone else, if you make smart choices now and avoid stupid ones, you'll reap the benefits of wise decisions over time."
#5 Learn to cook
To take your at-home dining a step further, buy ingredients at the grocery store instead of ready-made meals from the fresh food section. The extra amount charged for labor is fairly ridiculous and excessive. Moreover, cooking is fun and special occasions surrounding food are certainly a clever and endearing way to magnetize women, while protecting your wallet.
#6 Take a walk, take a ride, buy a Prius?
Whenever you can, walk. Whenever you can't, bike. By avoiding wasting gas on your local errands and wanders to the coffee shop, just as with eating at home, the little steps will add to huge leaps in savings. If you find yourself driving constantly and without a way out of such patterns, consider investing in a hybrid. Jerry Edgerton, hybrid vehicle savings representative, assures that "gas savings would make up the difference in less than two years," and more and more frequently "some insurance companies offer discounts on auto insurance for owners of gas-electric hybrid vehicles." In the long run – a worthy investment to consider.
#7 Cut the housecleaner
Make an effort to stay tidy and shoo away your cleaning support. If you pick up a few things each day, no accumulation will occur and, therefore, no overwhelming, helpless feeling. Cutting this weekly cost can mean massive things for the month's bigger picture.
#8 Have fun for free
Whether it's playing Wii with a few friends while playing bartender at your place, playing drunken board games or staging a beach barbecue, there are ways to have fun that involve less money than movies, nightclubs and restaurants. Practicing this a few nights a week will not only help your bank account, but further your much needed human interaction in today's crazy maze of media and various money-stealing situations.
#9 Shop for free
One Portland town has devised a way to create a small neighborhood communities (5,000 members and growing) that use the internet as a form of connectivity between members, who hit each other up for random necessities, like eggs, soil, batteries and return the favor in a sort of modern bartering system. Journalist Nikhil Swaminathan notes their clever innovation in the temperature of our current climate: "In February, a grope of British businessmen led by the Virgin Group CEO Sir Richard Branson sounded the alarm for peak oil – the point at which the world's oil supply will begin dwindling…If we take seriously the forecasts that it will occur in 2015, then our reliance on those modern conveniences needs to be rethought." (GOOD magazine). So while it may seem cooky now to trade out free couches for cases of beer on craigslist, soon it may be the best way to buy.
#10 Exercise yourself
Gyms are pretty much professional bankrollers, because they know that the amount of time you will actually spend taking advantage of their offerings is very little in comparison with the money you're spending to have the right to be there. This means you would actually be better off hiring an occasional trainer when you know you can make time or, better yet, by moving your exercises to the free outdoors
#11 Use the library
Remember the library? With booksellers, online book shopping, iTunes music store and Netflix memberships, we forget that the library is completely free and, many of them, well stocked. Instead of buying a book or DVD, check your local library first.
#12 Beware: texting
Texting can eat up a phone bill fast. If you're clever enough to have an unlimited plan, disregard this problem. However, you can still be mindful of phone minutes by trying to make long phone calls a nightly habit, after your minutes become free.
#13 Use cash before credit
When shopping, allow yourself only to spend the bills in your back pocket, without dipping into the well of your checking account. Researchers and writers of the Live Science Staff declare their results of a four-part study: "People spend more money when using credit cards compared to cash purchases." By tangibly experiencing your spending, you are likely to be more careful. "Consumers simply feel the pain of paying more when they part with cash, the researchers, led by Priya Raghubir at New York University, write. (September issue of the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied)

I think that I am starting to get it – liberals REALLY believe that there is one set of rules for them and another set of rules for everybody else. By the way, YOU are everybody else.
Twitter sensation Holly Fisher posted a picture of herself in front of a Hobby Lobby, holding a Chick-fil-a cup and wearing a shirt that says, "pro-life".
This is a free country and it is perfectly reasonable and legal to:
1. Enjoy delicious chicken sandwiches,
2. Buy cute kitsch for your home at affordable prices and
3. Believe that unborn children deserve to live.
The vitriol that was spewed at her by tolerant liberals was mind-boggling and scary. Possibly the tamest hate-filled response was an offer to shove the soda down Ms. Fisher's throat. One person offered to rape Ms. Fisher to give her an unwanted pregnancy.
I can't type anymore of them because I type to my mother on this keyboard, you just have to look them up yourself:
ATTENTION LIBERALS: do NOT look at this picture. Your head will most likely explode. #HobbyLobby #UniteBlue pic.twitter.com/uAIZji25vS
— Holly Fisher (@HollyRFisher) July 1, 2014
So, liberals believe that it is ok to rape a conservative? This from the party that claims that conservatives have a "war on women?"
Is this why liberals have such problem confronting real evil? They don't understand what it is.
A group of people that viciously murders innocent people, that is evil. A group of people that kills everyone that doesn't agree with them, that is evil.
Not Holly Fisher.

AS: As a kid I was always taken to the local circle track, not a drag strip. Against my parent's will, when I was 19, I bought a street bike and started taking it to the local track; and it kind of just progressed from there.
MS: I got started racing in 1994/1995. I took my local street bike to the track after I saw my dad race. I just wanted to be like him.
AS: Winning Epping, New Hampshire last year in the NHRA is by far my biggest accomplishment. It took me 7 years to win an NHRA race, and it was a really tough battle because it's not easy racing in the NHRA.
MS: Probably 2 world championships in NHRA in Pro Stock racing.
AS: I think our team is very unique compared to other teams; we're husband and wife. We work together and we race together but we also race against each other. We want to win for our team, and we want to win for victory.
MS: Both of us are driven to win. We want to help promote Victory and show the world that we're both capable of winning
AS: I really love these bikes, they ride very smooth! One of the things is that they're very sleek and eye-catching. They look racey and have a level of comfort that's different from the other manufacturers.
MS: How smooth the Gunner is, and not only the Gunner but every bike in the line-up. I've ridden quite a few bikes and Victory Motorcycles are some of the smoothest and most comfortable riding experiences.
AS: Don't go out there and try to kill it the first time you go down the track. It's a learning curve and you have to learn how to race. You've got to have fun, you just have to learn the fundamentals of racing first.
MS: Have fun! You have to have fun, if you aren't there's no use in doing it. Don't race on the street, always go to your local track. Go check out the performance on the bikes, they are pretty badass straight from the factory.
AS: Well the IDEAL outcome would be for both of us to win, but that can't happen. The ideal outcome for me (because I'm selfish and I want to win!) is that I win and he takes runner up. As a racer, if you are a true racer, you just want to win, no matter who is in the other lane. You want to win for yourself, you want to win for your team, and you want to win for your sponsors. I would love to be the first person on our team to put a Wally on Victory's shelf.
MS: We want to race heads up and fair, may the best man or woman win. It was so funny because the first race of the year, Angie and I had to race each other and we had a mistake by a crew guy so we didn't even get to race! She got the win so could have been a different outcome, could have been the same one. The main thing is we got a number one qualifier for team Victory.
AS: It's a great group of people. This is a new group coming out to the races and I think it's awesome that we get to meet them, and that they get to enjoy what we have going on with the Victory Club. It gives us a chance to talk to the dealers and the riders and get a different perspective on everything. They are all very loyal customers; and everyone is so nice. Overall it's just a really great deal what they are doing.
MS: I didn't know there were that many Victory riders out there. There were a lot of dedicated true, Victory owners and it's good to see the loyalty of the brand. That's the main thing we enjoy seeing. We want to see more of those owners and help Victory as a brand grow. I think once people ride Victory they'll be true fans.

A Charter school in Delhi, Louisiana has mandated that it must be allowed to see inside a girl's uterus if she wants to attend their classes. If she objects to this invasion of privacy – or, worse, submits and has a positive pregnancy test – she risks being banned from the school, and forced into home-schooling.
Please note, this is not from The Onion or a Saturday Night Live skit ridiculing the south. This is a real school, with real kids and now, a real ACLU challenge.
So, being pregnant and under 18 in this Louisiana school means you not only have to notify your parents (or go to court and beg a judges approval) if you want an abortion, thanks to their Parental Consent Law – victims of incest and child abuse are not exempt from this requirement, raising serious child safety concerns – you also get to worry about being tossed out of your school, regardless of how you became pregnant or whether you even intend to carry to term.
The school's policy isn't just illegal under Title IX, it's downright nauseating; the shame society heaps on to pregnant teens is bad enough without making them pee in a cup on command. The creators of this draconian punishment are probably the same people who spread the "welfare queen" myth because oh-shit-oh-my-god-the-injustice 0.2% of their taxes go to feed poor children.
Not surprisingly, this isn't even the first time charter schools have embarrassed the great state of Louisiana. Just this past June, the institution calling itself "Accelerated Christian Education" was caught teaching students that evolution is just a conspiracy, holding up the Loch Ness Monster as proof of Creationism. Shortly after that little scandal, Rep. Valarie Hodges was shocked to discover that the education bill funding religious schools in her state would go so far as to cover all religions, not just her brand of Christianity. She promptly withdrew her support.
History demonstrates that fact-based sexual health information, teaching kids how to avoid unintended consequences in the first place, remains the most effective course of action for a school so worried about teen pregnancy. Sadly, there are those in the Republican party which is against common sense, wishing to base health decisions on biblical sources and claiming that as moral.
The executive director of Louisiana Association of Charter Schools admitted to The News Star that this may be "problematic". The school itself has yet to respond to the ACLU or the press.

Reviews (2)
Not the best experience of dining. had to wait about an hour to seat 5 after on a wait list that was told would be about 25/30 minute wait then was seated at seating for four which was ok but since we had a small child. my point, we should have not had that long of a wait when we know that people who came in behind us with 4 in their party got seated before we were .My meal was a disappointment, there was a very long hair in my french onion soup right on top and very noticeable.The. had to wait for requested sauce for my wrap after rest of my party was served. manager did adjust my bill, my experience at other places have been a visit from the manager. I have never felt the need to send a comment before this time. Let me add that our server was wonderful.
Best restaurant in Frederick!!! I recommend the burning love burger as an excellent choice.

WaPo Mocks Agriculture Nominee for Being a Christian
This is disgusting.
Hey media, wanna' know why we don't trust you to be objective? Things like this.
This is just a needless knock. So condescending.
Mollie Hemingway writes:
The beauty of this headline/social media hit on Perdue is that it manages to raise questions about the paper's ability to fairly cover both conservative politicians and religious people, in one fell swoop.

Rossini supposedly wrote this gorgeous comic opera in three weeks when aged just 25 years old. It is his take on the Cinderella story and although it would be wrong to expect glass slippers and pumpkin carriages, it is the tale we know, and is a delight, despite carrying an edge of darkness, even featuring an epic orchestral storm in the second act.
With Cenerentola, as with many of Rossini's comic operas, we feel on familiar ground; quartets, quintets, sextets, bravura arias and sparkling orchestration. Familiar too are the disguises, mistaken identities, a Prince (most charming in this instance), a Princess, sisters, servants and a happy ending. Every shred of effervescence that is ever squeezed from an operatic score is here but Rossini doesn't keep it just cute. Cinderella is lifted out of hardship not by a Fairy-Godmother's wand but by her own goodness, and thus she earns her ticket to the ball.
Search on the web; 'Non piu Mesta', 'Naqui all'affanno', 'Come un'ape ne' giorni d'aprile'. 'Una volta c'era un re'.

A Russian belly dancer has been arrested in Egypt and banned from dancing because her music videos are "too provocative". Ekaterina Andreeva, 31, also known as Johara, was filmed wowing the crowd at a nightclub in Giza, dancing sexily "without underwear". Cops arrested her on suspicion of inciting young people to disobedience and immorality.
They witnessed her sexy antics after a party invitee filmed her wiggling her hips and at one point shaking her bust to whoops from the crowd. Some social media commentators suggested that she had not been wearing any underwear under her sparkly white backless dress which had a split up one side. Egyptian prosecutor
Hatim Fadl said:"Rules for the dance performance oblige the performer to wear underwear of any color but beige. Johara did not have any underwear, and of course it was provocative."

Problem Novels
One thing young adult authors who focus on real life must consider is the problem novel. That is to say that they need to examine books that are centered around identity, sexuality, racism, depression, and suicide.
These types of books appeal to teens in similar situations. Oh, we as parents and grandparents like to think our teen isn't involved in such things, but that's only us thinking they're the perfect little angel gifted to us many years before. In truth, teens often struggle with all of these things.
Identity is more than a teen saying they can't possibly be part of your family because everyone is so messed up. It's about who they are inside, what they expect out of life, and if they're moving along a path where they believe their parents might eventually hate them. This can cause them to move away from the normal family dynamic and seek out others in the same position, only to discover that group doesn't have the answers they need either.
Sexuality is more than what gender your child is. I've always maintained that teens are comprised of raging hormones. They're experimenting with things they've been told all their lives are forbidden, but their bodies are saying go for it. The confusion there can cause all sorts of animosity between parent and child. Some have likened it to having a perfectly adorable child, until they hit puberty and became a monster. No, your teen isn't a monster; they're dealing with raging hormones that have them off balance.
Racism has raised its ugly head after many years of people working in concert. Even if your teen seems to have a good grasp on the problem, they are seeing claims of this and that is wrong. Or that they're a horrible person because of their ancestry. Since all teens strive toward acceptance from their peers, this can cause them to withdraw and turn to other people to figure out why they're no longer an accepted part of their peer group.
Depression isn't just being sad. It's a chemical imbalance. No matter how much the parent wants to help their teen deal with this, they are facing a two-fold problem. First, the teen more than likely doesn't want to talk at all. Secondly, our society has hammered into everyone's heads that taking drugs is wrong, but the cure for depression is a drug. Enter the conflicted teen who can't deal with the sadness driving through them being told they have to take a drug. Now, they're more conflicted than ever. A simple "this will help you feel better" won't work. This teen needs to join with others like him or herself and discover they can control their problem, as long as they don't quit.
Suicide among teens has become front page news. It's shocking. It's a problem everyone wants to deny, but it is a fact. Taking your own life is a drastic step, a scream that no one listened. To hide teens from books about this problem is akin to telling them the emotional and/or physical problems they're facing aren't important.
One of the biggest lesson twenty-first century parents can learn is that their teens are savvy and in touch. Many of them go to non-traditional places for assistance. Some have found comfort in books, and learned that the more drastic measures they were thinking about aren't right, but if the books that address those problems are banned, forbidden, where else can they go when they fell cut out of the world?
Sometimes the best cure is a bite of fiction, done in a way that your teen feels like they have a person who understands.

Saturday's Game: Maine Maritime (0-7 overall, 0-6 NEFC) at Bridgewater State (7-1, 5-1) at noon.

METZELER celebrates 20 years of Custom V-Twin tire manufacturing with the new ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA 120/55R26 65H TL Triple 8 Custom Bagger tire
Rome, Georgia (USA), March 2, 2015 –METZELER, the world reconized leader in the Custom V-Twin tire market is launching a new 26 inch front tire size to its ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA line, the touring tires popular with V-twin owners and customizers all over the world. As of April 2015, the following size will be added: 120/55R26 67H ME 888
This expansion of the ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA line highlights Metzeler's ongoing support of the custom bike builder, starting with its famous ME88 200/70B15 launch in 1995, followed by the even more famous 240/40R18 radial ME880 XXL in the 2000's that has since grown to include over ten other custom sizes.
This new front tire size has been designed specifically for baggers and custom bikes, allowing customizers to enjoy an aesthetical upgrade, paired with the performance and handling that Metzeler and the ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA line is known for – characteristics include excellent feel and grip in wet and dry conditions; stability, agility, and the best mileage in its category for the entire life cycle of the tire.
The unique size and construction of this new tire has been created using a 55 aspect ratio, delivering a carcass shape and ply geometry to help provide the higher load index needed on heavier custom bikes. Metzeler combines these key design features to give the rider improved handling and feedback with excellent bump absorption; other benefits include enhanced rider comfort not seen in other low aspect ratio custom tires.
Given its unique size, checking clearances will be important for customizers to ensure the tire fits on their bike. This new ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA 120/55R26 67H TL is designed for a 3.75 wide 26" rim but a 3.50 or 4.00 width rim is acceptable too. Metzeler reminds riders that when fitting any tire to a motorcycle to verify that there is at least ¼" clearance from the side of the tire to the forks/fender, then a minimum clearance of ½" is needed from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender to prevent paint burn and fouling when riding.
The first shipments of these new tires will start arriving in April. For availability in the US, see your favorite US Biker's Choice, Drag Specialties, or Hard Dive dealer. In Canada, visit Drag Specialties/Parts Canada, Fullbore Marketing, or Importations Thibault dealer for pricing and availability.

BOALT featured on Speed Channel
BOALT was featured in a MotorWeek segment. In a televised segment called "Moving the Metal" broadcast nationwide on the Speed Channel, Adam Boalt was interviewed as an expert on social media marketing best practices for automotive dealers. Adam offered various thoughts and ideas on industry best practices, as well as tips on how auto dealers should be leveraging social media into their current marketing initiatives.
- 00:00:01 Entire sensor in until recently, and now dorman products has this unit right here.
- 00:00:07 This is a two-piece unit.
- 00:00:09 It has the sensor just like it always has, but the stem is replaceable.
- 00:00:15 It's held in place by a hollow screw.
- 00:00:18 So, if the aluminum portion gets damaged, all you need to do is to buy the aluminum stem, not the entire sensor.
- 00:00:27 This saves a lot of money.
- 00:00:29 This comes in a kit, such as we have here.
- 00:00:32 It has a whole variety of stems and repair parts and so on, and it is from dorman products.
- 00:00:39 All right, now, when you have service done – tire rotation or anything like that – in most cases, the sensors have to be re-programmed to the computer on the car.
- 00:00:50 In some cars, it will simply require a round magnet like this that's designed specifically for that purpose, or on others you may have to use an electronic unit such as this that interfaces the computer on the car.
- 00:01:04 The big thing here is, if you're going to have tire service done, make sure that the shop that you're using has the proper equipment to do everything without damaging anything on the car.
- 00:01:17 And if you want to prevent a lot of the moisture problems, here's what you look for.
- 00:01:22 You look for nitrogen, and you have nitrogen put in your tires, just like they do on airplanes.
- 00:01:29 And if you have a question or comment, write to me.
- 00:03:41 >> This is the first thing that they would see.
- 00:03:44 This is our wall.
- 00:03:45 >> Yolanda: Brian hydock is slowly learning how to make the most of his company's newly-developed facebook page.
- 00:03:51 >> Hydock: Right now we have our used inventory and the new inventory is coming along as well.
- 00:03:56 >> Yolanda: The digital marketing manager of ken dixon automotive in waldorf, maryland is responsible for posting pics.
- 00:04:02 >> Hydock: She just finished her 250th oil change, so the natural thing was to shoot a picture of her in the service bay and then post it up on facebook.
- 00:04:11 >> Yolanda: He also passes along news blurbs and daily messages as a way to engage his nearly 150 fans.
- 00:04:18 >> Hydock: I feel like I learn something new every day when it comes to social media.
- 00:04:23 >> Yolanda: But he'd like to learn more, so hydock turned to the experts at goso, a social media and marketing company, for help.
- 00:04:30 >> Adam Boalt: When you kind of take the auto industry and compare it to a lot of the other industries, you have to kind of look at the competitive landscape and realize the automotive industry is behind quite a bit.
- 00:04:41 >> Yolanda: Goso president adam boalt says most dealerships are slow to embrace new technologies, but once they put a social media strategy in place, it can really affect their bottom line.
- 00:04:52 >> Boalt: It's about really establishing a relationship with your customers, and then when they're ready to buy a car, they're going to know where to go.
- 00:05:01 >> Yolanda: Goso helps auto dealers all across the country by using a comprehensive set of marketing tools.
- 00:05:06 >> Boalt: As you can see, you know, we basically helped enhance everything from a visual standpoint.
- 00:05:12 >> Yolanda: There's buzz monitoring, which scours the web for any mention of the car dealership's name, both good and bad.
- 00:05:19 >> Boalt: For every negative experience that you have, one customer will write ten bad things about you.
- 00:05:26 >> Yolanda: They'll also generate custom landing pages with information on every vehicle in a car dealership's inventory, along with a slew of other features designed to attract customers without going for the hard sell.
- 00:05:38 >> Hydock: It's not a place where people are going to be sold.
- 00:05:42 You know, it's kind of a commercial-free environment.
- 00:05:45 >> Yolanda: The use of social media websites, like facebook and twitter, can certainly help strengthen a car dealership's online presence and brand reputation, but how does that translate into car sales?
- 00:05:57 I mean, how do you get a person to go from their family room into the showroom?
- 00:06:01 Hydock believes it's merely a matter of time.
- 00:06:04 >> Hydock: The return on investment isn't going to come until you turn those fans into buyers once they enter the buying cycle.
- 00:06:11 >> Yolanda: Social media doesn't have the type of metrics traditional advertising has — at least not yet — but hydock is encouraged by comments posted on their wall and an ever-increasing number of fans.
- 00:06:23 >> Hydock: Maybe I've engaged them enough, created enough interest, that they just want to know more about who ken dixon automotive is.
- 00:06:31 >> Yolanda: Boalt estimates there are less than 20% of dealers currently using social media.
- 00:06:36 He says that number will rise as online efforts bring in a faithful following of would-be buyers.
