Lame Magic
3/26/2010 | Share this article: View CommentsBy WizenedSage --
I am fascinated by the great big deal many people make of the stunt this character Jesus Christ supposedly pulled off. As the story goes, these Romans killed him and his friends put his body in a cave. A couple days later, some people go back to the cave and find the body missing. Then a few people wrote that this guy Jesus showed up again and walked around talking to other people for days and days before he disappeared again.
Image by quantum bunny via FlickrCool, but I know of much, much more impressive tricks. Just for starters, hundreds of people saw Elvis buried and hundreds more have seen him alive and walking around since then. And, I'm told some of them have even talked with Elvis, long after his "death." Now that's impressive. It is true, there is no film or video of these encounters; but then, there's no film of Jesus either. But there is film of Elvis before he died, so at least we know for sure that he existed. But, really, how are the Elvis sightings any different from the Jesus sightings – except that the Jesus sightings are described in a very, very old book? And I would not be the least surprised if someone, somewhere, sees Michael Jackson TODAY!
But I've seen better tricks with my own eyes than that resurrection stunt. I saw this guy Franz Harary make the space shuttle Explorer disappear right in front of a stage audience. I mean the space shuttle is really big, right? So it's not like he palmed it or shoved it up his sleeve. Yes, it was on film, but this was no camera trick; the people on stage, in person, saw the same thing. And this was not in an auditorium, it was outside. As one young woman eye-witness said, "It was there and then it… it was totally not there!" She was a bit excited, as you can imagine. And then… are you ready for this? And then, Mr. Harary made that space shuttle appear again! Just like Jesus!
Not to be outdone, a Mr. David Copperfield (I think that's a fake name, but I'm not sure) made the Statue of Liberty disappear and then reappear. I saw this with my own eyes, too. It was on TV. This was at night and there was a circle of searchlights pointing up at the statue. Then Mr. Copperfield raised this big black curtain, and when he lowered it the statue was gone! All you could see was the circle of spotlights, pointing at a vacant, black sky. This was done before an on-site audience, too, so it couldn't have been a camera trick. Think about it! The Statue of Liberty is way bigger than a space shuttle, and secured to the ground, and it was all lit up!
I mean those water into wine and faith healing and disappearing tricks Jesus did sure sound like amateur stuff next to disappearing space shuttles and giant statues, don't you think?
I mean those water into wine and faith healing and disappearing tricks Jesus did sure sound like amateur stuff next to disappearing space shuttles and giant statues, don't you think? Oh sure, these space shuttle and statue stunts might have required some modern technology that wasn't available in Jesus' day, but I've seen lots of weird and amazing things that didn't require any super technology. Like rabbits appearing out of empty hats, doves disappearing in a bunch of tied up scarves, and pretty women in boxes being sawed in two then just jumping out again whole and alive! These things all really, really looked real, I'll tell you that. You may have seen some of them yourself.
Another one I don't think Jesus could have topped was by this guy, David Blaine (I think that's his real name). I saw this on TV, too. Anyway, Mr. Blaine stopped several young adults on a city sidewalk and asked them to watch something. He had them stand there while he walked maybe 15 feet away and turned his back to them. He told them to watch his feet as he was going to levitate. A few seconds later… you could actually see his shoes rising an inch or two above the ground… with him in them!. Those people watching really freaked out, as you can imagine. One of them just turned and ran. I think he was genuinely spooked.
Now I've seen all of these things with my own eyes, and more, so why should I be impressed by this WRITTEN description of a guy who disappears and then reappears a couple days later? Are you kidding me? That guy Paul claimed that 500 people saw this "resurrected" Jesus, but not one of those people left a written record testifying to this event. That's odd, don't you think? I mean, if only a couple dozen or so had left signed statements (like in the Mormon Bible), then we would have to really wonder, wouldn't we?
I've read where others claim that all (or most) of Jesus' disciples died horrible deaths because of their belief in him. So he must have been a genuine, resurrected god if these people were willing to die for him, right? I'm not sure that can be proven, but I have seen film of over 900 dead bodies of believers who drank the Kool Aid for Jim Jones in Guyana. They really believed in this guy, don't you think? However, I'm pretty sure that Jim Jones was not a god, or even a legitimate prophet. But of course I can't really prove that.
All in all, I've seen some really amazing stunts, and with my own eyes, many of which make Jesus' tricks look pretty lame. Of course the Bible says in no uncertain terms that everything in the Bible is true, so it's pretty hard to argue against evidence like that. Still, I have to admit that I have my doubts about this resurrection story. Actually, given the mind-blowing feats I have seen with my own eyes that I know for sure were just tricks, I'm not convinced that anything could make me believe that Jesus was really dead and then just came back alive a couple days later; even if I saw it with my own eyes (isn't this just a variation on the lady-sawed-dead-in-two trick, anyway?). At the end of the day, I'm pretty darn sure that dead people, really dead people, stay dead. That's what it means to be dead, right? But if you've got a really good explanation, and I mean a halfway believable explanation, I'm willing to listen.

Notes on the Paragram: Poetry and Comedy 2
What I did come upon was bronze statue of Lou Costello. The statue seemed to be language's bronze cheer to poetry. The star of films like Buck Privates, Pardon My Sarong, Here Come the Co-Eds, and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein would have more cultural importance to Paterson than the man who wrote a modernist epic poem about it. Not that the readers of this poem haven't returned the favor. After all, most poets I have talked to have either never visited the actual place, or if they have, they have not expressed any desire to return, since the poem itself provides better returns on revisiting. But the question that immediately comes to mind is, what really was the better poem . . . Paterson or Who's On First?? Or maybe, we should instead ask, what was the most influential. Was Who's On First? a gateway drug for poets like Charles Bernstein, the Henny Youngman of Language Poetry, who wrote "Who's on first? . . . Only the real is real" ("Whose Language")?
Or take this passage (please), from Paterson, which seems to deconstruct the question and the pronoun, oscillating between it and I, in ways that are not foreign to Costello's abuse of "who," "what," and "I don't know":
The contemptible twig?
that I was? stale in mind
whom the dirt
recently gave up?
. . .
A mere stick that has
twenty leaves
against my convolutions.
What shall it become,
Snot nose, that I have
not been?
I enclose it and
persist, go on.
Let it rot, at my center.
Whose center?
I stand and surpass
youth's leanness.
My surface is myself.
Under which
to witness, youth is
buried. Roots? (30-31)
[12/2/06 correction: however, later I did find Williams made it onto the timeline inside the Cultural Center, along with Allen Ginsberg, and Al Tangora, "World's Champion Typist."]

Speier Invites Dr. Bennet Omalu, the Neuropathologist Portrayed in the Film 'Concussion,' to the State of the Union
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-San Francisco/San Mateo) announced that she will bring Dr. Bennet Omalu to the State of the Union Address. Dr. Omalu is the forensic pathologist and neuropathologist who was the first to publish findings on the impact of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) on football players. Dr. Omalu is portrayed by Will Smith in the film Concussion.
"Hosting Dr. Omalu at the State of the Union is a chance to shine a bright light on the scientific consensus that the NFL has failed to adequately address," said Speier. "Dr. Bennet Omalu's insight and persistence on this issue has been crucial to our understanding of the epidemic among players of one of America's most popular sports. The country is beginning to realize just how dangerous repetitive head injuries are, and the truth could also have serious implications for children playing youth sports and members of our military who experience repeated head trauma throughout their careers. If the NFL is as serious about protecting its players as it says, it needs to accept the science and make a real effort to combat CTE."
Congresswoman Speier and Dr. Omalu will also host a briefing on Capitol Hill about football and CTE.

A South Yorkshire doorman has been hauled before the courts for dangerous driving, after he drove the wrong way around a roundabout and crashed his car while attempting to escape police officers who had stopped him for drink-driving.
Adam Phipps, 27, of Lyncroft Close at Brinsworth, was stopped on Hollowgate in Rotherham town centre at around 1.55am on Sunday, January 16 this year by police who suspected him of driving under the influence of drink.
The doorman sped away in his white Mercedes E220 and negotiated a roundabout anti-clockwise, before officers apprehended him for a second time after he collided with an Audi A4 on Woodlands, Rotherham.
He appeared at Sheffield Crown Court yesterday, when he pleaded guilty to charges of dangerous driving, driving whilst unfit though drink or drugs and threatening behaviour.
Phipps was disqualified from driving for 15 months, ordered to take a re-test, told to carry out 200 hours community service and sentenced to 12 months in prison, suspended for two years.
Phipps was also fined £200. Arresting officer PC Luke Bugdol said: "It is rewarding to have brought this serious case before the court, as the consequences of Phipps' irresponsible actions may have had dire consequences.
Thankfully the incident took place in the very early hours of the morning and there was little other traffic on the roads."

From publisher blurb:
The Pixie Parade is a time-honored event, drawing tourists to the small town of Glavost every year. For these peaceful folk it is a grand feast and excuse for fun, but centuries of tradition leave the origins shrouded in mystery. The citizens are soon to discover all their fairy tales are true.
A brave group of pixies keep the Nightmare King at bay as part of an ancient pact. Now, the bogeyman sets his heir against the defiant fey. When the long-lost boy returns home to lead a final parade, only the town's children have a hope of victory. Can they turn the fey lord's magic against him? Can they stand against fear and free an innocent boy?
Recommended for ages 6 and up Pixies on Parade is a family friendly, stand-alone, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 1st - 6th level characters, who should reach 7th level by the adventure's conclusion.
I play-tested this module with my group of kids, which spans the ages 4–11, since this is a kid-friendly

Still Active Fannie, Freddie Dole Out $53M for M-F Deals
- Mar 24, 2009
With the finance industry suffering, securing a loan of any size is not as easy as it used to be. But despite the current economy, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac remain active sources of financing. In one of the agencies' latest deals, Arbor Commercial Funding L.L.C. announced the funding of three loans totaling $53 million under the Fannie Mae DUS product line.
Financing for the three multi-family properties was arranged by Carolina Mortgage Co. in Fayetteville, N.C. The loans included a 288-unit Battleground North Apartments, located in Greensboro, N.C., in the amount of $16.2 million; Eagle Point Village, a 300,000-unit complex in Fayetteville, in the amount of $18,7 million and Cedarcrest Village, a 300-unit community in Lexington, S.C., in the amount of $18 million.
Just last week CPN reported that the apartment market's attractive fundamentals are translating into a more or less regular flow of deals for Capmark Finance Inc., through its Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae programs. The real estate loan servicer originated a total of approximately $63.9 million in permanent debt for two multi-family properties located in Philadelphia and Pembroke Pines, Fla. One of the properties was the 320-unit Pembroke Cove in Pembroke Pines, and Capmark orchestrated a $30.9 million Freddie Mac loan for Pembroke Cove South L.L.C. for the purchase of the 361,100-square-foot garden-style complex.
Some of the other major transactions include the company's orchestration of nearly $40 million in permanent debt from Fannie Mae for the refinancing of a 320-unit multi-family asset in North Wales, Pa., and the origination of an aggregate $62.4 million in permanent fixed-rate Fannie Mae debt for the refinancing of two apartment properties in Connecticut.
CPN also reported in early March that Colonial Properties Trust closed a $350 million credit facility originated by PNC ARCS L.L.C. for repurchase by Fannie Mae, which, despite a 2008 loss of $58.7 billion, is not deferring from big deals. Colonial's new credit facility, secured by 19 multi-family assets encompassing an aggregate 6,565 residential units, comes with a 10-year term and a 6.04 percent weighted average fixed interest rate.
Last year Denver-based multi-family REIT UDR Inc. closed a $225 million secured loan that includes an option to borrow an additional $175 million. The 10-year credit facility was originated by PNC ARCS L.L.C., for repurchase by Fannie Mae.
Also in late 2008, Freddie Mac purchased a $38.7 million mortgage from Holiday Fenoglio Fowler L.P., paving the way for the developer of a 612-unit Lincoln, Neb., apartment community to retire construction financing for the project. The 10-year fixed-rate mortgage was sold to Freddie Mac under the agency's Capital Markets Execution SM pilot program.
Finally, in November the Dallas office of Holliday Fenoglio Fowler secured a $50.78 million loan through Freddie Mac for the owners of two Alabama multi-family properties with a total of 792 units. Fannie Mae–which, along with Freddie Mac, was taken over by the government last year–asked for $15.2 billion from the U.S. Department of the Treasury on February 25 under the Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement to erase its net worth deficit. If all goes as planned, Fannie Mae will get its multi-billion rescue by March 31.

The 'Terrace House' is a new residential design by Shigeru Ban to be built in the city of Vancouver as the tallest hybrid timber structure in the world.
The apartment structure is set to be made with an internal structure of timber framing that's supported by a concrete and steel core system. The timber wood for the structure is set to be sourced locally from the province of British Columbia. Overall, the building adopts an angular form that will be clad in glass. Terrace House is set to become a new icon of Canadian architecture as the first project of this kind. Developer PortLiving states that "This innovative design marks a milestone for the industry and a global benchmark for timber design and liveability."
Shigeru Ban's Terrace House is one of many new high-rise architecture projects that is exploring the use of wood as a structural alternative to metal.

The Left's Gambles
Sometimes life forces us to make decisions, even when we don't have enough information to know how the decision will turn out.
Football and Fallacies
This is a football story with both political and legal implications.
What Now?: Part II
As the post-election shock of some, and the euphoria of others, both begin to wear off, the country and the new administration will have some very serious problems to face, at home and abroad. How those problems are faced — or evaded — will tell us a lot about the next four years, and about the longer-run future as well.
What Now?
A Hillary Clinton victory would have meant a third consecutive administration dedicated to dismantling the institutions that have kept America free, and imposing instead the social vision of the smug elites. That could have been the ultimate catastrophe — not just for our time, but for generations yet unborn.
Random Thoughts
There seem to be fewer bumper stickers this year than in previous presidential election years. People may decide to vote for one of these candidates, but apparently they are not proud of their choice.
Has Economics Failed?
It is especially painful for me, as an economist, to see that two small cities in northern California — San Mateo and Burlingame — have rent control proposals on the ballot this election year.
The Left's Vision
The political left keeps announcing, as if it is a new breakthrough discovery of theirs, that life is unfair.
Immigration Controversies
Despite controversies that rage over immigration, it is hard to see how anyone could be either for or against immigrants in general.
Turnout Time
Some of us this election year don't even want to say the words "Clinton" or "Trump" — and with good reason. However, there is one word that we should keep in mind: "Turnout."
The Left and the Masses: Part III
Claiming the role of champions of the masses is something the political left has been doing ever since there has been a political left — which is to say, ever since the late 18th century, when people with such views sat on the left side of the French National Assembly.
The Left and the Masses: Part II
It is never easy to tell what people's motives are. But, when the political left proclaims their devotion to improving the lives of others in general, and of the poor in particular, we can at least get some clues from the way they go about it.
The Left and the Masses
The greatest moral claim of the political left is that they are for the masses in general and the poor in particular. That is also their greatest fraud. It even fools many leftists themselves.
Words Versus Deeds
Donald Trump's gutter talk about women shows yet again that he is bad news. The problem is that Hillary Clinton is far worse.
The Academic Curtain
Back in the days of the Cold War between the Communist bloc of nations and the Western democracies, the Communists maintained pervasive restrictions around Eastern Europe that were aptly called an "iron curtain," isolating the people in its bloc from the ideas of the West and physically obstructing their escape.
Our Political Predicament
There is no point denying or sugar-coating the plain fact that the voters this election year face a choice between two of the worst candidates in living memory.
Election Year Books
Election year politics generates much rhetoric and confusion. And the media often adds its spin.
Racial Issues
Ordinarily, it is not a good idea to base how you vote on just one issue. But if black lives really matter, as they should matter like all other lives, then it is hard to see any racial issue that matters as much as education.
Misleading Statistics
Mark Twain famously said that there were three kinds of lies — "lies, damned lies, and statistics." Since this is an election year, we can expect to hear plenty of all three kinds.
A Gem in Chicago
We have gotten so used to seeing college presidents and other academic "leaders" caving in to so many outrageous demands from little gangs of bullying students that it is a long overdue surprise to see a sign that at least one major university has shown some backbone.
Abstract Immigrants in an Abstract World
Why would a country with the world's largest Jewish population, outside of Israel, admit large numbers of immigrants from countries where hatred of Jews has been taught to their people from earliest childhood?

Stop and stare 13
Driving along the country lanes just south of the downs - I had to stop and stare, infact I nearly crashed the car as I steered round a corner and came face to face with this. An amazing sculpture by Peter Burke called Janus Head. I wonder if it causes many accidents!

I've been busy with work recently so I haven't been very creative for myself and have definitely been very absent from this blog! I went through my photos from the past few weeks and found this picture which I've been meaning to post for ages. I like the contrast of colour and texture between this plant and the corrugated metal background.
It's so easy to fall into the habit of moaning about all the bad things that happen and I catch myself doing this more and more. Why is it easier to do this than noticing the good things? So I love the idea on Aimee's blog of a 'bliss list'. Anyway my bliss list for the past few days is:
An impromptu lunch and a good laugh with friends
An unexpected cuddle with My Jack Russell (who is not normally very cuddly)
Making a marmalade cake from a new recipe and despite burning the outside, finding 10 minutes later that the inside was still runny, finishing it off in the microwave and icing it while still warm, it actually tasted ok!
Going to bed early to read because I've got a good book on the go
Listening to the radio - Alan Carr going out - he makes me laugh
A chat on the phone with my nephew
Working on a new project and having the ideas accepted straight away
PS - My moaning list would be longer but this one definitely makes me feel better!

Evolution: A Wonderful Day feat. Giuseppe Ottaviani
"Aside from being one of the most exceptional musicians I've ever met, Giuseppe is also the most wonderful, stunning captivating character you can possibly imagine! We've done a lot of music together in the past and that's going to continue for a long time. For me it's not foreseeable to have a Paul van Dyk album without Giuseppe's involvement somehow. There has been studio chemistry there from the start. You can be in the studio with him for 5 minutes and after that time a track is already in motion. There's no 'trying' with him, we're always in sync and there's only fluid production."

I received a bundle of goodies from Do Crafts. The items I received were from the Mr Mister and Denim Blue range from papermania. Perfect for the men in your life. All the items were really good quality and brilliant.
I received :
- 6 x 6 Decoupage Card Kit – RRP £2.00
- A5 Decoupage Card Kit – RRP £3.00
- DAD Wooden Letters – RRP £1.50
- Mini Clear Trophy Stamp – RRP £3.00
- 10m Jute Cord – RRP £2.50
- 1m Ribbon (2 pack) – RRP £3.00
- Shading Blue Ink Pad – RRP £4.00
I made the decoupage cards up and really liked them. I'll be giving the father's day cards to my dad and the other to my husband from the kids. On the newspaper one, you can add the ribbon badge or put a photo in it's place, which is what i'll be doing. I am just currently trying to find a nice photo that will fit perfectly on it. The envelopes they come with are slightly thicker than normal envelopes so the cards can fit in easily with the extra layers on.
I haven't made anything with the other items yet, but trying to think of something really creative to do with the wooden DAD letters. Do you have any ideas? Let me know in the comments.

Mr Tsvangirai was reportedly carried into a private plane on a stretcher at Harare International Airport around 2am, although his office sought to downplay the incident, insisting the MDC-T leader had flown to South Africa for a routine medical check-up.
The officials said it would be advisable to tell the truth about Mr Tsvangirai's condition to avoid unhelpful speculation which could only hurt the party and cause panic among followers.
Mr Tsvangirai was airlifted to South Africa after his condition drastically deteriorated during a workshop in Kadoma. He was recently diagnosed with cancer of the colon and has been receiving chemotherapy in South Africa for some time.
"We wish the president very well but he is still in the woods," said a senior MDC-T official.
He added: "Yes, he is responding to medication but his condition is not changing and that is our major worry. What is worrying us is that he keeps issuing statements through
Tamborinyoka saying he is stable and urging people to vote yet it is clear he is not well. This attitude is not helpful.
"He has been going for routine check-ups for some time now but the fact that he was hurriedly airlifted at a workshop in the company of a doctor is clear evidence that he is seriously ill. You cannot fool people like that."
"What has irked other senior party members is the way the president's sickness is being handled by members of the 'kitchen cabinet' such as the Makones. They are ring fencing the president and want to appear as if they are the ones who love him more than any other party members." Another source said Mr Tsvangirai's illness had plunged the whole party into confusion about the future if he were incapacitated beyond recovery.
"Remember, we have three vice presidents and our constitution is silent on the issue of succession," said the source, who sits in the MDC-T's standing committee.
"Dr Thokozani Khupe is the deputy responsible for administration, Engineer Elias Mudzuri is responsible for organising and Advocate Nelson Chamisa is responsible for international relations," said the source.
"None of them can claim to be superior to the other although those sympathetic to Chamisa are already touting him as the possible successor," he said.
"The truth of the matter is that the constitution is silent about that matter and the appointment of Eng Mudzuri and Adv Chamisa was never meant to deal with the succession issue but factionalism that was threatening to tear the movement apart."
He said it was important for Mr Tsvangirai to appoint someone senior to act in his capacity whenever he travels outside the country for whatever reason. This, he said, would help in coordinating communication and give it more authority.
Throughout the weekend and yesterday, Mr Tamborinyoka insisted Mr Tsvangirai was well and that he was urging people to register in readiness to vote in next's elections. Herald
PANIC has gripped the MDC-T amid revelations that party leader Morgan Tsvangirai's close associates have followed him to South Africa to monitor his condition after he was flown there as an emergency case early morning last Friday.While Mr Tsvangirai's spokesman, Mr Luke Tamborinyoka, yesterday insisted that the opposition leader was well, party officials stressed he was in bad shape and that his close associates, the Makone family, had joined him in South Africa.The official said MDC-T members were also irked by the manner Mr Tsvangirai's illness was being handled by party officials.

Becoming a Non-Executive Director
< 5% Chance
If you are looking for board positions there is one vital statistic you need to know. Less than 5% of people just hoping for Board positions will get one. You need to take direct action.
There is an abundance of highly talented C level managers and directors in Australia and very few board positions. Add to that Australia being one of the most desirable destinations for migration and suddenly you are competing in a global talent pool.
If you plan to casually seek Board positions then you are unlikely to be successful. You need to strategically target the boards and positions to which you are suited and have a long term plan for building your profile and credentials to ensure you are shortlisted when positions become available. Having a good strategic plan still doesn't guarantee success but it will give you a fighting chance.
Submit Your CV
The simplest step is to submit your CV to ProNed. You are able to do this free of charge. Email your CV to email@example.com, and we will contact you if we have any immediate opportunities. Sorry but we are unable to provide advice for you on your CV.

BRISTOL — Tucked behind the American Legion headquarters and the Sodbusters horseshoe courts near the Bristol Recreation Park stands a squat purple building that is home of The Hub, Bristol's Teen Center and Skate Park. Nondescript looking from the outside, inside this former bingo pavilion is a place of noise, bustle and transformation. It's a place where any teen can walk in the door and belong.

German Conglomerate to Buy Peet's for Almost $1 Billion
Emeryville-based Peet's Coffee & Tea Inc. announced today it's going private. German conglomerate Joh. A. Benckiser is buying Peet's for $73.50 per share in cash, or a total of approximately $1 billion, according to Peet's website.
Last year, we reported on rumors that Seattle-based Starbucks might buy Peet's, much to the dismay of some loyal customers, like Alyssa Tomferd. She's been going to the original Peet's in North Berkeley since she was a kid in the seventies.
"It's sentimental," Tomferd said last March. "I mean, I'm always proud when I see Peet's in other locations because I feel like it's part of our local culture here. And I'd be bummed, I wouldn't come here any more if it was a Starbucks."
But not every regular customer was worried about Peet's future. Will Mason said it's just one chain buying another.
Sponsored By
"You can go to a Peet's anywhere up and down the West Coast, it's not like you're gonna have some really idiosyncratic experience at any one of those stores," Mason said last March.
Today's announcement didn't come as a surprise to Marcia Mogelonsky, Director of Insight at Mintel Food and Drink, an industry research firm based in Chicago. She told KQED's Joshua Johnson it's a red flag that "Peet's was being threatened from someone and we can probably guess who that was."
"What happened with Peet's in the first quarter that might make it look like it needed protecting from--let's be honest--Starbucks?" asked Johnson.
"Oh, you're gonna say the S-word," said Mogelonsky. "I think the main problem that Peet's has is the main problem that everyone is having: commodity prices are expensive; coffee's gotten expensive. But Peet's, unlike Starbucks, doesn't have the national reach. It's not a stand-out brand nationally."
Mogelonsky said Benckiser would be smart to push Peet's eastward.
"The East Coast is Starbucks saturated," she said. "It really needs a new coffee player on the East Coast because people are tired of Starbucks--they're really looking for something different."
Mogelonsky said Benckiser is also well-positioned to expand Peet's to Europe because it just bought D.E. Master Blenders, a well-regarded tea and coffee company in the Netherlands.
But as the LA Times reports, Benckiser is known more for its holdings in luxury and beauty companies than coffee.
Benckiser owns a majority stake in Coty Inc., the maker of OPI nail polish and celebrity perfumes. Coty recently abandoned its attempts to buy beauty company Avon Products Inc. for $10.7 billion and said it instead plans to raise $700 million in an initial public offering.
Benckiser also owns Labelux, a luxury goods company with brands such as Jimmy Choo and Bally. The deal with Peet's, which was unanimously approved by the coffee-maker's board, is expected to close in about three months.
In a press release, the company said despite the sale, many things will stay the same.
At the close of the transaction, Peet's will be privately owned and will continue to be operated by the company's current management team and employees. Peet's Coffee & Tea, founded in Berkeley, CA in 1966 by Alfred Peet, will remain based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with its home office in Emeryville and its LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certified roast-to-order facility in Alameda.
Alfred Peet opened the original Peet's on Walnut and Vine in North Berkeley. The chain has since expanded to six states including Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oregon and Washington.
Update 2 p.m. New Owner's Rodent Poison Lead to Complaints
"I've bought my last beans from Peet's," writes Kendra Armer on the KQED Facebook page. She and a few others are unhappy with Joh. A. Benckiser over a legal battle involving rodent poison.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Joh. A. Benckiser owns a stake in Reckitt Benckiser, among other companies. Reckitt Benckiser produces d-CON and several other rodent poisons that the EPA has argued violate measures designed to reduce health risks.
In 2010 Reckitt Benckiser sued the EPA to stop the enforcement of the measures and won, arguing that it had not been given a hearing before action was taken to enforce the measures.
MSNBC quoted a pesticide lobbyist talking about the number of children exposed to rat poison in its coverage of the lawsuit:
"You're looking at very low numbers of exposures that (usually only) require observation," said Karen Reardon, spokeswoman for a pesticide lobbying organization call Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment. "The benefits of the products are quite enormous, especially if you're living in an environment where most people have exposure to rats."

Some Bay Area residents seem to disagree.
"I'm disappointed to lose (Peet's) Coffee from my life, but I cannot put a penny more into a corporation with that kind of audacious and criminal disregard for the wildlife of my state and country," wrote Allen Fish on the KQED Facebook page.

A K-9 cop and her canine partner track down the killer of a colleague's girlfriend in a case that hits close to home.
Deputy Mattie Cobb has already proved that she and her K-9 co-worker, Robo, make a highly effective team (Killing Trail, 2015). So it's no surprise that when Chief Deputy Ken Brody's girlfriend, Adrienne Howard, goes missing, he wants Mattie's help, even though he's never been her closest ally. Brody, adamant that something has happened to Adrienne though she's been gone less than 48 hours, demands a search. Determined to do what she can to help her colleague, Mattie takes Robo to comb the area near Adrienne's abandoned car, but to no avail. When Robo finally finds a clue on a horse trail, he leads Mattie to Adrienne's body and an unwelcome night trapped with it during an early snowstorm in Timber Creek. Meanwhile, Mattie's friend and maybe more, veterinarian Cole Walker, volunteers to carry supplies to Mattie and Robo, only to end up guarding the body along with them. The two share personal tales through their overnight vigil and make some progress toward a more clearly defined relationship—though not if Carmen Santiago, Cole's newest client at the Dark Horse Stable, has anything to say about it. As if making it though a night with the potential for mountain lion attacks isn't trouble enough, Mattie and Robo have to track down Adrienne's killer while Mattie deals with her own emotions after her long-estranged brother reaches out.
Equally packed with mystery and plot development for the series characters, Mizushima's second is heavy in animal interest if not always specifically dog drama.

One of the points the article made was that some people get neurotic about checking things off their list. For example, if they've done everything on their list, they will add a couple of things just so they can feel like there is something left to accomplish.
So checklists can be useful, but they can also be used in neurotic ways.
This brings me to the use of checklists in professional communications.
On the one hand, these checklists can be a powerful tool for getting things done, especially in organizations that are relatively undisciplined about project management, or that experience frequent misunderstandings about timelines and deadlines. Having a list that everyone can refer to reduces conflict in two ways. First, it keeps people focused on an external, objective task, rather than on each other (what she said or he said, who is supposed to do what, why they will or won't do what they're supposed to do, etc.). Second, it reduces misunderstandings by clearly documenting roles, responsibilities, and timelines.
On the other hand, checklists can actually lead to the organization avoiding communication. Because the communication team can easily set up a checklist that makes it look like communication has happened, when in fact nothing of any significance has taken place. (Remember, the message must be received and understood, if not acted upon, in order to be worthy of the term "communication.")
Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
Checklist for Project X Communication Initiative
__Send e-mail to all managers today
__Hold all-employee webcast next week
__Follow up with telephone recording of webcast a day later
__Post summary to intranet in two weeks
__Place article in employee newsletter next month
Let's say you accomplish all of these tasks, but people still don't know what is going on. How is that possible, you say? Well, in this fictitious example:
- Most of the managers deleted the email without reading it.
- Half the employees didn't watch the webcast, and the other half didn't understand what the CEO was trying to say.
- Nobody ever goes to the intranet except when they are forced to visit a specific link for benefits information or something like that.
- Most people read the humorous parts of the employee newsletter and disregard the rest.
So you need more than just a checklist to make the communication happen.
What can you do?
I'd say, keep the checklist, but add four tasks to it:
- Concept testing: Run the communication past a few people before you send it to everyone.
- Refinement: Based on early feedback, edit the content of the message, or the style in which it is delivered.
- Measurement: Find out 1) how many people received the message 2) how they understood the message and 3) whether they intend to act on it in the way you want.
- Feedback sharing: Make the results of your measurement public. This demonstrates your confidence, builds your credibility, and motivates you to improve your performance.
Are you scared by the idea of really measuring the effectiveness of your communication, let alone making the results public? Of course you are! Traditional business writing (and speaking) is absolutely boring, not to mention difficult to understand. This is no secret to anyone, but the situation continues because communication senders stubbornly insist on ignoring how their messages are received.
As long as communicators fail to measure how their words are received, and pretend that checklists are a good-enough substitute, the people on the receiving end of their words will continue to ignore, misinterpret, and poke fun at the mix of buzzwords, clichés, and jargon that pass for the transmission of actual meaning from one human being to another.

Mr. Stevens's Tirade
ALASKA SEN. Ted Stevens threw the senatorial version of a hissy fit on the floor the other day. The issue was a proposal by his Republican colleague, Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, to block $453 million earmarked for two Alaska bridges in the recent highway bill and instead use some of the money to rebuild the Interstate 10 bridge across Lake Ponchartrain wiped out by the recent hurricane. Mr. Stevens is one of the masters of the Senate at steering federal money in the direction of his state, but he was not going to stand for this reverse flow.
"I will put the Senate on notice -- and I don't kid people -- if the Senate decides to discriminate against our state and take money only from our state, I will resign from this body," Mr. Stevens vowed. Sounds awfully tempting to us -- but not, apparently, to Mr. Stevens's colleagues; the amendment failed 82 to 15.
What's most impressive about Mr. Stevens's tantrum is his ability to summon up this degree of righteous indignation -- self-righteous might be more apt -- over the alleged mistreatment of a state that benefits enormously, and disproportionately, from federal spending.
Leave aside for the moment the matter of whether these two earmarks represent a wise use of federal dollars. Okay, we can't let it go; they don't. One, a partial payment for the now infamous "Bridge to Nowhere," would link Ketchikan (population 8,900) with its airport on Gravina Island (population 50). The other, the magnificently named "Don Young's Way" -- hint: Mr. Young, Alaska's sole House member, conveniently happens to chair the transportation committee -- would be a down payment on a billion-dollar bridge across an inlet in Anchorage to a nearly deserted port.
Rather, think about this spending in the larger context: Poor, mistreated Alaska. It ranks number one in per capita federal spending, $12,279 in 2003, compared with Nevada, number 50 at $5,235 for every resident. Alaskans received $1.89 in federal help for every tax dollar they sent to Washington, making the state second only to New Mexico as a net beneficiary of federal largess.
This tale of woe is particularly heart-wrenching when it comes to transportation funding: Of the $24 billion in earmarked projects in the most recent transportation bill, nearly $1 billion went to Alaska, putting the nation's 47th most populous state just behind California and Illinois. The measure provided $1,597 in earmarked funding for every man, woman and child in the state.
Indeed, even if Mr. Coburn's amendment had been adopted, Alaska would have remained by far the leader of the pack in per capita funding. If that's being discriminated against, every state should be so lucky.

In November 2012, Bikes for the World sent a second container of donated bikes to Manila to support adding this second school district, Pagnituan National High School. The pilot effort, in neighboring Baclayon, has been a huge success. When the program started in 2011-2012 the drop out rate for Baclayon was 4.5%; today that rate is 1.67%. Nationally the rate for the 2011-2012 school year was 7.8%.
In September 2013, the Philippine Navy delivered 190 refurbished bicycles and spare parts to two projects, a smaller school effort on the island of Cebu and the larger school district, Pagnituan National High School in Bohol. The Bohol bikes were to be stored in Baclayon at Peacock Garden Resort where the bikes were secure and under cover, but not completely out of the weather pattern soon to come.
All schools in the district suffered tremendous structural damage. Outdoor classrooms were set up under makeshift tents and villagers were living in shelters or compromised structures. Three weeks later the Super Typhoon Haiyan hit. The eye of the storm swung north of Bohol, devastating the island of Leyte. Much of Bohol's water and electric were generated from this island and wiped out in the typhoon.
April 2014. Currently, BfP is poised to begin training beneficiaries first thing next month (April). After spending some time in the elements, our bikes sitting at Peacock Gardens could use a little TLC maintenance, which will be completed by two students beneficiaries from our pilot program in Baclayon.
|Jake Palijado
Meanwhile, Bikes for the Philippines is already looking at where the next container of bikes will be placed. Marikina, a school district on the island of Luzon (where Manila is located) and another on the island of Cebu are currently being evaluated. Storage, volunteer hands, and transportation continue to be a consideration especially given the complications that arose in Bohol during the latest round of storms, not to mention the ship transport and the exposure to salt water and sea air the bikes experienced.

Dear Friends,
Our world leaders have once again failed to take any concrete steps to combat climate change. The just ended UN summit on climate change has made me sad. I was full of expectation for something great to come out of this summit. But once again, greed, selfishness and insensitivity has prevented us from doing something collectively to save our own lives.
One thing I know for sure: "This is not over". The struggle to awake the world's consciousness will continue. Just as the Berlin wall fell, this will also happen. I will do my best, you will also have to do your best. The "power of the people" must be seen in action. Do your best in your own small way to combat climate change.
This is our world and we shall take charge of it. To all those who worked so hard but still did not see the desired results, we are almost there. If we stop now, would have to start all over again someday. We have not failed because we have not stopped. Let's continue. Persistence pays!
Brighten the corner where you are.

Chris LeDoux - Chris LeDoux was cool without even trying. He didn't go out of his way to be noticed, or to shock his audience, or to make the world look at him and tell him he was cool. He just got on stage and had a great time entertaining his fans. I think he entertained himself just as much. My favorite Chris LeDoux memory? Living 1/4 mile from the Tumbleweed bar and dance hall in Stillwater, OK and getting to hear a Chris LeDoux concert for free. He always performed at the annual Calf Fry at the outdoor arena. Being so close, we could hear the whole concert sitting in our driveway. (No calf fry eating required.)
Johnny Cash - I know I'm stepping on some toes with this one. After all, he's the "Man in Black". He's a country music legend. He was cool before country was cool. So what? I still don't like his voice. If anyone sounded like him today, they would never get a recording contract. Sometimes, the music has to rank higher than the "cool".
Love to Hate
Anyone named Cyrus - I don't care if it's Billy Ray or Miley. If they come on, the radio goes off. I'll admit I kinda liked Achy Breaky Heart when it first came out. Mainly because it was fun to dance to and only got better after a few drinks. Now? Not enough vodka in all of Russia. Or Ukraine. Do they still have vodka in Ukraine or did Putin annex it all?
That's all for today. What songs or bands do you like for the letter C? Leave me suggestions below. I might even respond and let you know why your opinion is

Fender Roger Waters Precision Bass
Fender's Artist Series has an impressive roster of endorsees including Sting, Duff McKagan and Marcus Miller, to name but a few. The latest addition to this roll-call is further indication of Fender's willingness to choose players who aren't necessarily only known for their chops. -
Awarding this particular signature bass accolade is a shrewd move on Fender's behalf; Waters is mid-way through world-touring his Wall set, a stadium-hopping jaunt that may well be the 66-year old ex-Pink Floyd supremo's last of serious magnitude… yet it's also a slightly strange choice. After all, Waters seldom discusses the gear he uses on stage or in the studio, and has even been quoted as saying 'I would play bass because I sometimes want to hear the sound I make when I hit a string… but I've never been interested in playing the bass.
Fender describes this Mexican-made Precision as being 'as tastefully tailored as Waters' own simple-yet-sophisticated bass work.' Translation: black. The alder body is a sea of black, reinforced by a single-ply black scratchplate that's virtually invisible when looking straight at it or under stage lights – dead cool, though. Adding black hardware is an unusual move; though the knobs are of the basic knurled variety and the bridge is the standard foursaddle unit, altogether they contribute to creating the perception that this is a very serious instrument and one that the bassist of any self-respecting Floyd tribute band would be delighted to sling around their neck. Elsewhere, all build details are present and correct from the even rear bouts to forearm and ribcage chamfers to the offset horns. The P-bass really is a piece of near-perfect design.
Certain features are based on details from a selection of decades. The maple neck has a 'thick C-shaped contour' which puts it somewhere in the '70s, although in practice 'thick' means that it's only a millimetre greater in depth than you'd expect. The headstock is adorned with a '50s spaghetti logo decal… less fussy and intrusive than it was to become. The neck is bolt-on and the neck plate is cushioned by a rubber spacer (Fender literature describes this as being 'gasketed', which sounds rather painful) and, in recourse to mid-'60s detailing (and, presumably, to fill in the missing decade), Fender have retro-stamped the plate with a fl owing 'F'. Nice. Other details of note include a vintage-style slotted truss rod nut with access at the bottom of the neck, Waters' preference of maple fingerboard (with 20 medium jumbo nickel frets), a brass nut (a detail not seen on Fender basses or guitars since the early '80s), and four Vintage '70s Fender stamped open gear tuners. The tuners' chrome contrasts to all the black at the body and gives the bass a yin/yang aspect in the hardware department. It all works rather well.
The pickup is a split-coil Seymour Duncan Basslines SPB-3 Quarter Pound, a unit known as being both versatile, fairly high output and good for blues and classic rock, with a fat, full, punchy tone. In playability terms the weight is reasonable and the balance as good as you'd expect; the only possible negative is wide string spacing. We're only talking an extra millimetre, but this can make a huge difference to how comfortable or familiar a bass feels to play.
So does the Roger Waters Precision enable us mere mortals to sound like the man whose signature is scrawled on the back of the headstock? The conundrum with any Signature Series P-bass which has unmodifi ed controls and comes with generically similar pickups – even where they're superior to Fender's own units – is whether getting the sound justifies the instrument, where any other similarly spec'd bass is going to do the same job (and more than likely come in cheaper).
Plugging in is a rewarding experience. Roll the tone control to full just like Waters does most of the time and you'll instantly get a fat, snarling tone with a pleasing crunch. Where certain old Precisions have a slightly hollow feel in the midrange, here it's as solid as a rock with plenty of weighty impact and a surfeit of low mids. The highs are fairly bright and zingy – probably a combination resulting from the Seymour Duncan pickup and the brass nut. The ultra-low action means that if you're aggressive at the D and G strings the tone does take on the clanky element you associate with using a pick and with much of Waters' work, but your notes do tend to choke a little.
When a less edgy sound is required, you'll need to back off the tone control. This provides two or three audibly different shades of smooth with lows that have more thud and a less forward midrange. Thinner strings gain more body, making them a more practical proposition in general background playing terms… fairly standard stuff with any Precision, as is the woolly sub-bass rumble when Tone is on full cut.
If you can deal with the thicker neck and slightly wider string spacing and you love Precisions, then you'll like this bass. The brooding black fi nish sets it apart, and the Seymour Duncan delivers a tone that's got a little more harmonic life than P-bass afi cionados might expect. With or without pick in hand, it's easy to get sounds that hark back to the sort of playing Waters delivered with Floyd and continues to deliver as a solo artist. And with a sensible price (given the thought that's gone into its production) it has defi nitely got to be on the 'check it out' list.

The best way to repel black rat snakes is to remove the things that attract them to an area, typically places where they or their favorite food animals can hide. Commercial snake repellents, ultrasonic devices and ground vibrators are usually ineffective. Fencing can work but is expensive and labor-intensive.
Black rat snakes are found from New England south to Georgia and as far west as Oklahoma. They are nonvenomous and benefit humans by eating rats and other small rodents. They are shy animals and usually try to avoid contact with humans but may bite when confronted.
Piles of debris and leaves, areas of dense vegetation, and walls or soil covered with thick ground vegetation serve as hiding places for both the snakes and the rodents they feed on, so removing such things encourages the snakes to move elsewhere. Practicing good rodent-control measures by keeping garbage in tightly sealed cans, picking up fruit that has fallen from trees and using traps where appropriate is also helpful. Both snakes and rodents can enter houses through small holes, so finding and sealing these entries keeps snakes out of homes. Snake fencing made of hardware cloth can protect limited areas but must be at least 38 inches tall and extend at least four feet into the soil to be effective.

Who can forget the moment "the drive" and "the fumble" were forever etched into Cleveland sports history?
Then there's that guy Lebron James, taking his talents to South Beach.
And how about "the shot" and the Indians game seven against the Marlins.
Yes, it all still stings.
"It got to the point for me that this is just too comical. It's just one thing after the other," says Scott O'Brien.
South Euclid native Scott O'Brien is a diehard Cleveland sports fan who calls California home.
He's now poking fun of the moments with a humorous educational coloring book that he hopes to share with his one-year-old daughter.
"It just kind of clicked that a coloring book would be kind of fun to teach kids about some of the history as well as have a good laugh and get over it," say O'Brien.
The book "Why Daddy is Sad on Sunday" depicts scenes of notable Cleveland sports failures and tells a little story about the iconic moments.
O'Brien was able to fund his project with the popular site Kickstarter.
"We're about eight or nine days into it and we've gotten almost $15,000 so far," says O'Brien.
O'Brien says that 500 copies have already been sold with the hope of more down the line and like most Cleveland fans he hopes the phrase 'there's always next year' will be something the of the past.
O'Brien says he plans on throwing in a few happy moments and one day hopes our teams do well enough to make a coloring book of the triumphs.
