At the recent Italian Auto icons car and bike display, the new generation SWM range of Italian on road and off road motor bikes derived from the iconic Italian and reputable Husqvarna brand (which ceased production 33 years ago), created a lot of interest on the day from young and old bike motor bike riders.
Mojo Motorcycles acquired the Australian SWM distribution rights in 2016 and have since experienced solid support for this revived brand of bikes with a proven engineering and performance track record since their inception in 1971
The bikes are made in a modern factory (the restructured original Husqvarna factory) in Lombardia, Northern Italy.
SWM had 5 bikes on display in Carlton as well as their popular 500 R bike which has given young Victorian Super sport rider Ryan Taylor, of Powerhouse Motorcycles located at Pakenham , considerable success on track.

that I never ever have bought anything from the brand jack wolfskin.
and I swear to high heaven that I never will buy anything from it.
j.w. is sending cease & desist letters to people who are selling their self-made items on dawanda.
the reason is that the sellers have used fabric with paw prints on it. the trademark of j.w. is a wolf paw with claws. but they claim any paw no matter if it is a cat paw, a bear paw or if it is without claws.
for more information please look at the following links:
and here is a list, where you can find a lot more links.
all I can say is: hit the road jack and don't you come back no more no more no more no more

We've all heard about the dog days of summer, but what about the dog days of winter? Is there a worse sports month than February? The best thing about February is that it is always the shortest month of the year, but this year, the torture is extended by a day thanks to Leap Year.
There is absolutely nothing going on in February. Yes, the Super Bowl has been moved to February, but that's the first Sunday of the month, leaving plenty of boredom ahead. The NBA and NHL are in the middle of their endless winters. Game after game, boredom after boredom. The NHL's trading deadline is today, but with the salary cap, how many crucial moves will be made? The playoff push for the bubble teams doesn't really begin until the second week of March.
Ditto for the NBA, even though the 2007-2008 season has been an exciting one. In the Western Conference, there are nine teams with a record of 32-20 or better, meaning that a team might win 46-50 games and NOT make the playoffs. Of course, in the East, a team might make the playoffs with 50 losses. Once again, it's too early to call a February game a must-win situation. That's what makes February so annoying. The games count, but it's tough to take them as such. The beginning of the season has that intensity as your interest is keen because you want your team to start well. The end of the season is keen because teams are jockeying for playoffs and playoff positioning.
As horrible as February is, it will come back to haunt somebody. That four game losing streak, the blown three goal lead that results in a team missing the playoffs will be looked back on. That said, there isn't much cause for celebration in February.
College basketball is in a similar predicament. In February, teams go 'round the conference for the second time, so I guess there is a bit of a revenge factor at stake. In their first meeting, Texas A&M destroyed Texas, so last night Texas did the same to A&M. That's all well and good, but for college basketball fans, February is spent waiting for March Madness to begin, and because of the calendar, Selection Sunday is still four weeks away on March 16.
Baseball shows signs of life with the words "Pitchers and Catchers," and "First Full Squad Workout," but raise your hand if you are excited about hearing reports from Florida and Arizona. If you live in the Northeast or Midwest, hearing about Florida and Arizona just depresses more.
Even the NFL, which is now a 12 month sport is pretty dull in February. The overrated combine and Mel Kiper's draft boards still aren't here and all you hear is the names of a few players losing their jobs.
I guess February is good for catching up with the family and friends. There are no must-see games on the tube. Sleep is probably a good option as is taking the kids to Chuck E. Cheese. Once again, let's give thanks that February is usually only 28 days long.
Only 10 days 'till March!

Avalanche ride fast start, young core back to playoffsby Jon Lane
A season ago the Colorado Avalanche finished last in the Western Conference and missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the third straight season. Coach Joe Sacco was fired.
Two franchise legends were tasked with rebuilding the franchise. In May, Joe Sakic was named executive vice president of hockey operations. Two weeks later, Patrick Roy was hired as coach. Each was a cornerstone of Colorado's Stanley Cup victories in 1996 and 2001, which made for a winning pedigree in the front office and behind the bench.
The Avalanche opened the Roy Era with a 6-1 win against the Anaheim Ducks and raced out of the gate like a thoroughbred. Considering how they finished last season, many braced for the Avalanche to fall back to the pack. Instead, they're headed to the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
It's been a long road back for the Avalanche, but the wait has been worth it. Colorado's 47 wins are the most since 2000-01 (52) and its 100 points are the most since the Avalanche hit that number in 2003-04.
Here are five reasons the Avalanche will be in the first postseason for the first time in four years:
1. Fast start
Colorado's 6-0-0 start tied Roy with Mario Tremblay for the NHL record for victories at the start of a coaching career. A 4-1 win against the Montreal Canadiens on Nov. 2 gave the Avalanche their second six-game winning streak, improved their record to 12-1-0 and matched the 1994-95 Quebec Nordiques for the best start in franchise history.
Despite hitting the occasional speed bump, the Avalanche proved they're for real. At 47-21-6, they have a legitimate chance of passing the Chicago Blackhawks for second place in the Central Division, which would give them home-ice advantage in a first-round matchup against the defending Stanley Cup champions.
2. Big Mac
Nathan MacKinnon made his NHL debut Oct. 2 as the youngest player in franchise history (18 years, 31 days). He had two assists to make him the youngest player in League history to have two or more points in a game since Ted Kennedy of the Toronto Maple Leafs did it against the Boston Bruins on Jan. 8, 1944.
There's been no slowing MacKinnon, whose 23 goals, 33 assists and 56 points lead all NHL rookies. His 13-game point streak from Jan. 25 to March 6 broke Wayne Gretzky's record of 12 for the longest by an 18-year-old in League history; it was the second-longest by a first-year player since 1993-94, topped only by Paul Stastny's 20 in 2006-07.
Instead of hitting the rookie wall, MacKinnon's game continues to peak entering the most important time of the season.
3. Maturation of young players
MacKinnon (No. 1, 2013), Matt Duchene (No. 3, 2009) and Gabriel Landeskog (No. 2, 2011) are living up to their draft expectations to form a rapidly maturing young core in Colorado. Duchene's 70 points are a career high and the most by an Avalanche player since Stastny had 79 in 2009-10. Landeskog, the youngest captain in NHL history (19 years, 286 days at the time he was named), has established career-bests in goals (24), assists (37) and points (61) while leading the team in plus/minus (plus-21).
Ryan O'Reilly (career-high 26 goals), Landeskog, MacKinnon, Duchene (23 goals) and Stastny (21 goals) give the Avalanche five 20-goal scorers, the most in the NHL. Each also has at least 50 points, which ties the Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins for the League high.
4. Settled in goal
Goaltender Semyon Varlamov signed a five-year contract extension through 2018-19 on Jan. 30 and has rewarded the Avalanche with career-highs of 37 wins (the most in the League), 58 games and 55 starts. The Avalanche allow 32.8 shots per game, more than all but five other teams. Varlamov is second in the League in shots faced (1,853) and first in saves (1,715). His 24 wins since Dec. 12 lead all goaltenders and his 24 since Dec. 31 are two better than the New York Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist for the League high.
Varlamov also set a franchise record in wins in the month of January (10-1-1) and went 11-0-5 in 16 starts from Dec. 12 to Jan. 18 to equal the longest streak without a regulation loss in club history.
"We would not be where we are without him," Roy said.
5. Roy's remarkable season
What Roy has done in his first season is help spearhead the rapid turnaround in Colorado and establish himself as a bona fide Jack Adams Award candidate. He became the first coach in NHL history to win 14 of his first 16 games and one of two, along with Marc Crawford, to win 12 of his first 13 games.
Just as important as Roy's skill behind the bench is what Landeskog refers to as a "partnership" with his players.
"It's not coach vs. players," Landeskog told NHL.com's Dan Rosen. "We're all in this together and he made that really clear from the beginning. I think other than that he's a very good teacher and knows how to get messages through to his players and knows how to interact with his players. He's certainly earned the trust and respect that any coach needs for his players to work hard for him."

Why Pay for Facebook Advertising?
Many new business owners don't even consider the option of paying for advertising online, in many cases this is because they have a small budget. In other cases, it's because they believe the hype that free traffic is easy to get and that it will be their main source of visitors to their website. However, while it is true that there are numerous methods for generating free traffic, it will

The adage is you're never as good as you look when winning, never as bad as you look when losing. It was true last year when United stomped through the league early. I figgity fig figgity hope it's true after Kansas City's SHOCKING! dismantling of United.
Hubris is a bitch and hindsight hubris' smack. Maybe trading away the fourth defender and failing to replace him wasn't such a good idea. Maybe signing another central midfielder and assuming he can wing wasn't such a good idea. Maybe meeting the contract demands of the zippy Brazilian winger United wanted in the first place would have been a good idea.
Maybe staying mysteriously entranced to a formation United doesn't have the personnel to play isn't such a good idea.
Facundo Erpen - People all around me were cursing Erpen, but if he struggles on a dry field against slow opponents, why stick him on an island on a wet field against a speedy team? A coach's top priority is to put players in positions to succeed and to keep players out of positions in which they're likely to fail. Erpen may indeed suck as a right back in a 3-5-2, but it's not his fault he's a right back in a 3-5-2.
The sudden and dramatic crappitude of Brian Carroll isn't helping either.
I'm as guilty as anyone in thinking the offseason deletions and additions upgraded the team. I'm guilty for buying the hype of Bobby Boswell as reigning defender of the year and Troy Perkins the reigning keeper of the year and assuming the defense was stable if not sterling, guilty of thinking the offense would score more than the defense would allow.
Here's a scary thought: maybe Nowak knew when to get out of Dodge.
Look - I'm fuming. I can cite adages, but losses like last night's shake foundations. That was as comprehensive an asskicking United's received in years, a thorough asskicking that calls into question personnel, coaching, front office.
Maybe I'm overreacting: it's what I do with United, up or down. But someone at DC United better be overreacting, or the season will be as dismal as the weather of the home games so far.
Here's Goff's brutal player grades:
Perkins 4; Erpen 3, Boswell 3, Namoff 3; McTavish 3, Carroll 3, Olsen 5, Gros 4, Gomez 6; Moreno 4, Emilio 6. Subs: Fred 4.
Too harsh on Namoff, not tough enough on Carroll, not tough enough on Perkins.
UPDATE 11:45 am 4/15:
Thinking about it, Benny had a very good game except for - it's a big except, yes - in and around the offensive box; he's a klutz with the ball in finishing flow: remember that sequence around 75, he and Emilio and Moreno and Gomez 4 on 3, Benny urps the last pass? But in terms of his defense, his organization, his energy, his getting the ball onto advance players' feet from midfield, he had a strong game.
He should be wearing the captain's band.

Show me the money shot
I have a knack for finding the lowest of the low in the trash piles of human existence. Being too nice and having low self-esteem have meant that I've dated a long list of losers. The most recent loser works with me. Without my knowledge, he took photos of us having sex, and e-mailed them to men at our workplace. I'm totally embarrassed. I wanted to press charges, but miraculously, no one claims to have seen these photos — unless they don't want to humiliate me by saying so. — Mortified
If a man's going to make your dream come true, it's best it isn't that one where you suddenly find yourself naked in front of everybody at work. The good news is, on the humiliation front, there's no place to go but up: Toilet paper on your shoe, tuck your skirt into your pantyhose? You're having a good day!
You could consider legal action. Unlike in sexual harassment cases where somebody claims, "After he said I had pretty hair, I could no longer do my job as an accountant," your experience sounds like textbook "hostile workplace." According to law prof Kingsley Browne's Biology at Work, that's a work situation that's "permeated with sexuality or 'discriminatory intimidation, ridicule and insult'" severe enough to change the conditions of the victim's employment and create an abusive work environment. If you talk to a lawyer, you may find that you could have a pretty good case. After all, what could the guy's defense possibly be? "I don't have a kid so I thought I'd celebrate Bring Your Girlfriend in a Compromising Position to Work Day"?
But, even by winning a case, do you actually win? Just by filing suit, you're probably setting yourself up for "The Streisand Effect" — which, unfortunately, doesn't mean gay men will drop everything and fly across the globe whenever you sing anywhere but the shower. The term was coined after an aerial photo of Barbra Streisand's Malibu home was one of about 12,000 included in an online database documenting coastal erosion. These still shots of land eroding weren't exactly garnering TMZ-style traffic — until Babs filed a $10 million lawsuit against the photographer to get the shot of her house removed, driving more than 420,000 people to view it in a single month.
In other words, even by talking with co-workers about what happened, you could end up, well ... making a mountain out of a thigh mole. Try to remember that the maggot who did this to you is the one who's gotten naked in the ugliest way — exposing himself as somebody who gets off on doing violence to a girl's reputation. What happened, was he no longer getting the same thrill out of Xeroxing his butt?
Barenaked Saturday didn't show up on Bagel Monday because you're "too nice," but because you're too willing to accept losers as your lot in life. Having low self-esteem isn't the problem, either — it's having it and not doing a damn thing about it. You can have a nice guy in your life — if you develop yourself into a person who feels she deserves it, and actually demands it. In the meantime, hold your head high. Time will pass, and eventually, feeling naked at the office will once again mean knowing that they can all see you forgot to wear earrings — not that you forgot to make an appointment at the waxer.
Persistent coffin
I've been dating my boyfriend for three years. His wife of 30 years died six years ago, but he still calls her "my wife," talked about her in the bedroom until I got mad, and still mentions her constantly. When I got angry about that, he blew up and said he'd talk about her whenever and however he wants. I love him, but is this normal? — Sad Heart
Three's a crowd, even if one of you is dead. Now, after 30 years, it's normal that he'd still talk about her. To a point. Yet, there you are in bed, enjoying the afterglow, and he rolls over and says, "Betty and I went to the Ozarks one time. Had a great time. Doubt you and I could ever match it. Might as well stay home and talk about Betty!"
What he really needs to talk about is whether he wants a new life or just an audience for the old one. In a neutral moment, tell him you know he loved her and had a wonderful life with her, but it hurts to always be hearing about her — and in a way that sounds like he's married to her and getting some on the side from you. If he wants to be with you, he needs to act like he accepts that he lost his wife — and not just somewhere between Spencer's Gifts and Cinnabon.

"They're Playing Our Song," September 26-October 5, 2014, Halton Theater
In this theatrical classic, America's premier funny man, Neil Simon, joined with the Tony Award-winning composer of "A Chorus Line," Marvin Hamlisch, and songwriter Carole Bayer Sager, to collaborate on a hit musical based on the ups and downs of Marvin and Carole's real life relationship. The result was the funny, romantic musical, "They're Playing Our Song." The show reveals how professionally this couple's relationship worked beautifully, but ultimately led to conflict on the home front. But, it wouldn't be a theatre production if there wasn't a happy ending.
"The Game's Afoot (Or Holmes for the Holidays)," October 31-November 9, 2014, Pease Auditorium
Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for the weekend. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities quickly turn dangerous. Gillette, in the persona of his beloved Holmes, is left to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit.
"How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," February 13-22, 2015, Halton Theater
Power, sex, ambition, greed... it's just another day at the office. From the authors of "Guys and Dolls," comes one of the most delightfully irreverent musicals of all time.

A Dream Technique to Lose Weight
There are hell lot of techniques in the world that one can apply to get rid of stubborn fat from one's body. You can try the stationary bicycle or the tread mill if you love to go to a gym, or even these machines can be bought and brought home. Whenever you get the time you can give your body a nice work-out just from your home gym. Well, you cannot for sure get chiseled body like the one that the film stars have but at least you get something to show. There are many perks associated with having a home gym. You get a convenient place to burn your body fat plus you get the satisfaction of achieving a well contoured body shape and of course you also get to shed fat in the end, provided you have the patience to do this exercise daily for atleast an hour.
The home gym method to burn fat is quite effective but there is one drawback of working out in a gym machine like a tread mill or an exercise cycle. In this particular method the lower body parts like the legs and back are worked more and the upper body gets ignored completely. Thus, lack of exercise of your upper body, including your chest, shoulders, etc. leave a lot of things undone. So, your exercise routine doesn't tone up your entire body and the end result is far from satisfactory.
In such a scenario what one needs is a something different that can help to give one's body a complete and comprehensive work-out, as well as tone up various muscles of the upper plus lower body. One amazing exercise technique that can help give your entire body a once in a life time work-out is a blend of interval training and push-ups. Let me elaborate on it so that you may get a feel of how this technique can be tried to get a slim and trim shape.
Let me explain to you in a layman language as to how this combination works. First, in order to warm-up your body start running at a mild pace and for about 800 meters. This will make you ready for the next session. In the second session increase your running pace a little covering at least 400-600 meters. Then in the third session start picking up speed and run as fast as you can covering minimum 400 meters. After that just stop and walk for 400 meters. Then do 2-3 sprints, 100 meters each and then stop and walk for 400 meters.
When your heart beat comes back to normal move on to the last session. In this session do push-ups. Do 5 sets having 20 repetitions at least in every set. After that jut rest for a few minutes and then end your work-out by having an energy drink whichever you prefer, like a glass of milk, a Red Bull, MAD DOG Energy Lemonade, Pure!, etc.
This is an effective and tested routine that can show results in just one month. This body work-out is a complete one that works every muscle of your back, calves, legs, thighs, abdomen, chest, and shoulders. This technique will tone-up your body and will help to quickly shed body fat and you will end up with a leaner, and more strong body. Try it out and see how your body turns slim and trim.

An Exclusive Club
Being a twenty-seven year old rock musician is apparently hazardous to your health. The sheer volume of musicians who have died at this age is staggering. Many believe it is just a coincidence. However, there are those who believe a conspiracy is afoot. Let's take a look at some of the most iconic musicians to have the dubious honor of being inductees in the 27 Club.
Jimi Hendrix
Johnny Allen Hendrix (later legally changed to James Marshall Hendrix) was born November 27, 1942. Undoubtedly the god of the guitar universe, Jimi Hendrix' name is synonymous with amazing riffs. Sadly, his name is also attached to another, less fortunate enterprise: the 27 Club.
On September 18, 1970, Jimi was riding high on the wings of success. He had recorded four wildly successful albums, three with the Jimi Hendrix Experience and one with Band of Gypsys, which was a live recording. He played at Woodstock, where his searing rendition of the National Anthem whipped the crowd into a frenzy of unequalled proportion. He was serious about his girlfriend, Monika Danneman, and was enjoying the London nightlife and being back in the studio, recording his fifth album.
In the evening of that fateful night, Jimi and Monika were at a party in the tony Notting Hill section of London. Jimi drank red wine until 3:00 am at which time he and Monica returned to their hotel, the Samarkand, where Monika rented a flat. Unbeknownst to Monika, Jimi had taken nine of her Vesparax sleeping pills. The prescription medication, which Monika had obtained in Belgium, gave instructions to take only half a tablet. Vesparax is an extremely strong sedative, and one which Jimi was unfamiliar with and had never taken.
Sometime between 3:00 am and 4:00 am (according to the medical examiner) Jimi passed out, vomited as a result of the wine and the massive dose of Vesparax in his system, and asphyxiated on his own regurgitation. The magical fingers of the guitar god were forever silenced.
Janis Joplin
This wild woman from Port Arthur, Texas was born January 19, 1943. Her soulful, gritty voice positively oozed the blues. Janis's style of uninhibited sexual innuendo and flamboyant stage presence had launched her into the stratosphere. It seemed her star would never fade, yet destiny had different plans for her. Plans that would induct her into an infamous club.
After recording 5 albums with Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Kozmic Blues Band, Janis had formed yet another group, this one known as Full Tilt Boogie Band. She and Full Tilt were in the process of recording her sixth studio album, Pearl, in LA. Janis was living at the Landmark Hotel and her flashy, psychedelic Porsche Cabriolet was easily spotted in the hotel parking lot.
On October 4, 1970 Janis failed to arrive at Sunset Sound Studio. Paul Rothchild, the albums producer, grew concerned and decided to go to the Landmark to check on her. Spotting the Porsche in the parking lot, he continued up to her room. Paul found her dead on the floor beside her bed. Her cause of death: an overdose of heroin. She was 27 years, 258 days old and an unwilling inductee of the club.
Jim Morrison
James Douglas Morrison was born December 8, 1943. The Doors used Jim's lyrical poetry and set it to haunting music, to great effect and acclaim. The band was at the pinnacle of their success when Jim and his longtime girlfriend Pamela Courson decided to take a trip to Paris. It would be the end of the road for this hard-rocking, hard-living 27-year-old.
In March 1971, Jim and Pam took an apartment on rue Beautreillis, on the Right Bank. They enjoyed life in Paris, and it was a peaceful time in their often turbulent relationship. On July 3, 1970, Pam found Jim dead in the bathtub of their apartment. A decision to inter Jim without an autopsy would prove to be a controversial one, but cause of death is listed on his death certificate as heart failure attributed to long-term drug abuse. A heroin overdose theory spread, but there was no evidence to prove this theory.
Jim's death and the lack of an autopsy or funeral caused rumors to swirl through the fan community. The most persistent rumor stated that Jim, growing tired of fame and the music industry, had faked his own death so that he could live a peaceful life. Jim was laid to rest in the Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris and his gravesite is a mecca for fans. No one here gets out alive, indeed.
Kurt Cobain
Kurt Donald Cobain was born February 20, 1967 in Aberdeen, Washington. Musical from an early age Kurt received his first guitar at 14 and taught himself to play. He played in several bands throughout high school, then formed Nirvana in 1986 with bassist Krist Novocelic and drummer Chad Channing, who was later replaced by the remarkable Dave Grohl.
Nirvana had received critical acclaim from their SubPop venture "Bleach", but it was the release of "Nevermind" in 1991 that rocketed the band into the stratosphere. "In Utero", released in 1993, continued the bands climb to the heavens. But all was not right in Kurt's world.
Kurt was never comfortable with stardom or the spotlight. He suffered from severe gastrointestinal issues that left him sick and in pain most of the time. His heroin use was an attempt at self-medication to help ease the pain. After the birth of his daughter Frances Bean (with Hole frontwoman Courtney Love), Kurt decided to get clean. On March 30, 1994 Cobain checked himself into Exodus Recovery Center in Los Angeles. On April Fools Day, 1994, after a visit with his daughter Frances Bean, Kurt went outside to smoke a cigarette and decided to leave the facility. He flew back to Seattle that night and his whereabouts for the next week are largely unknown. Courtney hired a PI to find him on April 3, but it was an electrician, hired to install a security system, who found Kurt's lifeless body on April 8, 1994 at the couples Seattle home. Kurt left a note, stating his dissatisfaction with the rock and roll life and telling his wife and daughter that he apologized for being weak and that he loved them. He shot himself in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun.
At 27 years, 44 days, Kurt Cobain became the newest member of the 27 Club. His poetry and talent forever silenced, he hopefully rests in peace.
Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse burst onto the music scene in 2003, hitting it big with 2006's "Back to Black". Her whiskey soaked vocals and lyrics oozing pain and despair, Winehouse became the first woman to win five Grammy Awards in the same year.
Amy Jade Winehouse was born September 14, 1983. A Londoner by birth, Winehouse's parents are a taxi driver father and a pharmacist mother, both of whom instilled in her a love of jazz music. She began singing as a child and exhibited a remarkable talent for song. Her grandmother decided to send her to the Susi Earnshaw Theatre School at nine years of age, so that she could further develop her talent.
Winehouse was at the height of her success in July 2011. Her struggle with drugs and alcohol were already legendary in the music industry when on July 20, her bodyguard visited her home in Camden, London and reported that she appeared slightly intoxicated. By all reports, she was in high spirits for the next few days, looking forward to some upcoming performances. On July 23, 2011 her bodyguard checked on her at 10 am. She was sleeping. He checked on her again just after 3 pm and she was still laying in the same position as before. He checked her pulse and, finding none, called the paramedics. The pronouncement of death by alcohol poisoning was made at 3:53 pm. She was 27 years, 312 days.
The Club Roster
In all, there are 43 musicians of all different genres of music that are members of the 27 Club. The earliest inductee is composer and pianist Alexandre Levy, who joined the club on January 17, 1892. The most recent addition is Richard Turner, trumpet player for Friendly Fires, who died of cardiac arrest on August 11, 2011.
Some notable members of the club:
Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, drowned on July 3, 1969.
Roger "Pigpen" McKernan of the Grateful Dead, died of a bleeding ulcer caused by acute alcoholism on March 8, 1973.
D. Boon, lead singer of punk pioneers the Minutemen, killed in a car accident on December 22, 1985.
Mia Zapata, up and coming rock sensation and lead singer of the Gits, murdered on July 7, 1993.
Bryan Ottoson, guitarist for American Head Charge, prescription drug overdose on April 19, 2005.
Eerie coincidence or rock and roll conspiracy, the members of the 27 Club will be more known for the contributions they gave to the music world than for their infamous membership in a club that no one would voluntarily join. One thing is true; with the passing of all these musical greats, heaven must have a hell of a band.

It's very hard to rate/review this one. On the one hand, it's not too well written. Dialogue is preachy, characters and their time frame go back and forth and are hard to follow, and while there's plenty of racial/family tension, I wasn't quite able to decide whether anything was resolved.
I think all the hype about the book also made it difficult to judge. I don't think it was meant to be an "enjoyable" read. I suspect it was definitely meant to be a sociological polemic aimed at the Civil Rights movement of the 60's, and the "interference of the NAACP. The point of view of the main character "Scout" Finch (of To Kill A Mockingbird fame) doesn't ring true to the Scout we already know and love, Atticus and Uncle Jack are given some decent chances to expound, but other characters are given short-shift. The whole thing just felt very unfinished, and unworthy of what we know Harper Lee to be capable of.
I'm inclined to believe the suggestions I've seen that this is not a separate novel, but actually the early, very rough and unedited version of what would later (with a lot of good re-writing and editing) turn into the world famous Pulitzer winner.

I was listening to an interview on Radio 2 with Elaine Paige who was interviewing dance choreographer Anthony Van Laast who was the choreographer in the stage and film versions of Mama Mia to name just one of the many hit shows credited to his name.
Anthony was telling Elaine how important it is nowadays for musical theatre dancers to be able to sing as well as dance and also for singers to be able to dance.
He went on to explain that with the tight budgets nowadays in the theatre and film industry, producers can no longer afford to employ dancers and singers and it is easier to get a job if you can do both.
Anthony is now spreading the word to dance schools to tell the dancers to have singing lessons with a good vocal coach as he is no longer interested in auditioning people whoc can't do both.
So if you're a dancer and you want to succeed in todays market of musical theatre I would suggest that you learn to sing. Anyone can be a good singer if you get the correct singing tuition.

Rogue Pictures has greenlit the thriller "25/8" which Wes Craven will direct and pen, his first original horror script since 1994's "Wes Craven's New Nightmare".
The film follows a signature villain, a serial killer who turns up 15 years after his purported death, to kill the seven children born on that fateful night.
Craven says "it's more a thriller than slasher film, and revolves around a young kid with a very dark past involving his family and his father" he tells Variety.
Rogue starts production in April.

BANGALORE, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Shares of ZymoGenetics Inc ZGEN.O jumped as much as 53 percent on Tuesday, a day after the tiny biotechnology company got a much needed cash infusion from its collaboration deal with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY.N).
"Partnership with Bristol-Myers is a solid deal, as it gives ZymoGenetics another shot at profitability in a large market after disappointing Recothrom sales and obviates the need for near-term financing," Citigroup said in a note dated Jan. 12.
The Seattle-based company, which sells Recothrom — a treatment to control bleeding during surgery, ended its third quarter with a loss of $28.8 million and $81.1 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Under the deal, the two companies have agreed to co-develop ZymoGenetics' PEG-Interferon lambda, a type of protein that is in early-stage trials for hepatitis C, in the United States and Europe and share development costs.
Bristol-Myers agreed to pay ZymoGenetics $85 million cash upfront and an additional license fee of $20 million. [ID:nN12354940].
UBS analyst Jeff Elliott said while it was a big deal for ZymoGenetics, it was not likewise for Bristol-Myers.
"This deal fits with Bristol-Myers' strategy, and makes sense in the context of Bristol-Myers' presence in the anti-viral drugs category. That said, this opportunity is still distant, and very early stage," Elliott wrote in a note dated Jan. 12.
ZymoGenetics shares were up $1.1 at $4.23 in morning trade on Nasdaq. The shares touched a high of $4.80 earlier in the session. Bristol-Myers shares were down 8 cents at $22.07 on the New York Stock Exchange. (Editing by Himani Sarkar)

Artist: Arcane Symphony
Title: A New Day Begins
Genre: Symphonic Metal
Country: Russia
Release date: 2015
- Ocean
- A New Day Begins
- Loneliness
- It's a War!
- Nostalgia
- Trust Yourself
- What Is Life for You
- To Live Is to Love
- Something to Die For
- You Are Free
As it was correctly said, female-fronted symphonic/melodic metal & rock is on the rise nowadays because it provides a niche for a very significant amount of girls who dislike the mainstream pop music but aren't into more "tr00" and "br00tal" genres either. Symphonic/melodic metal fashion is also a major factor of attaction to them, because it allows them to look hot according to both mainstream and metal/rock scene standarts. That said, this particular photo of Arcane Symphony makes them look more like a synthpop band (I must admit that Anna looks awesome in this short white dress, though):

The application Holy Islamic Places is designed to allow you discover the important sacred sites and shrines in Saudi Arabia when doing the rites of pilgrimage (al hajj or umrah).
For fast and simple search, this application enables you to seek for different sites via locations or criteria.
This version is very simple, only 3 addresses. In the payable version, you can visit, by district, more than 40 places. Maybe your building is also there?
The application contains various sites, shrines of Mecca and Medina, sites of Islamic Battles, the most important historical mosques, and various sites of worship where pilgrims do rites of pilgrimage (Hajj or Umrah), or even for a simple visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
You can therefore go out with your phone to discover a district of Mecca and Medina and be sure you have all the information you need. The history of each place was presented with the aim to provide you with addresses, comments and photos so that when you look at the building, you can spot a trace of the past or if they all disappeared, you can imagine what the story of this building was.
You can also use the application in order to learn something about the theme. The discovery of the history of a place can also be transmitted through the texts that treat the topic as a whole and through the information about each place.
Our editors have put their heart into presentation of the themes that we offer you. We hope you will enjoy it by adding a comment and by using our full versions in order to support this idea and our team.
Good walks and good reading.

Serie: Eve #1
Release date: 2011
Stars: 2/5
The year is 2032,
sixteen years after a deadly virus—and the vaccine intended to protect
against it—wiped out most of the earth's population. The night before
eighteen-year-old Eve's graduation from her all-girls school she
discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate
that awaits her.
Fleeing the only home she's ever known, Eve
sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can
survive. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy
living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been
taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust...and her heart. He
promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must
choose between true love and her life.
It's kind of a disturbing story. First of all, the world building is kind of bad. I found it hard to believe that America could sink so low after just 16 years. I'm still not sure what kind of world it is that Eve lived it. Sure there was a plaque and that wiped most of the humans out and then they have to repopulate the world. The girls learn that man are bad and they have to stay in school. So that's where Eve is, almost 18 and ready for graduating. But then she finds out, that after graduating she can't be anything she wants to be. No! There is a horrifying fate waiting for her. So she escapes. I didn't like Eve at all. She's so shallow and really she ought to be smart (she was the smartest at school), but I didn't see it. For example, she thinks a baby bear looks like Winnie the Pooh. My god girl! And then all the hesitation, should I go with Caleb, should I do did, that? Then the part where she almost got raped and Caleb walks in on it and asks her if she liked the guy? She hesitates and then says I don't know. What that fuck was that? Can't she just tell, I was seconds away from being raped! Make up your mind girl! Like I said, she's almost 18, but it really looked like she was 12. She didn't know anything, she hung on Arden like that was her mother or something. Then ofcourse there is this hero guy Caleb. I have to say, I did like Caleb! He's not the over protective one. He's just a sweet guy, who really likes Eve. He's just saying everything how it is. Like when Caleb doesn't want Eve to go somewhere he just says it, but lets her make the decision. What I also liked in the book was the writing style. While the world building was lacking, the details of some scenes where beautifully written. It was an easy read! And then the ending, I hated it. I don't recommened the book and I'm sure as hell not going to read the next one.

Thanks for the review! I understand what you mean about the world building... It's often hard for me to believe things could get that bad in 100 years too in books.

The trouble with most dystopian and post-apocalyptic novels nowadays is that they aren't so believable anymore.
I still can't pick up Eve. Eve is so... awful, is the word I'm looking for. She's such a frustrating character!

Culture Shock
Operatic Maneuvers
It's fitting that for Women's History Month, Opera Southwest is staging Georges Bizet's Carmen. The opera, set in 1830s Spain, tells the story of a strong-willed Romani woman, the eponymous Carmen, who falls in love with the soldier Don José. While bringing them together, their passion also tears them tragically apart. See Carmen at the KiMo Theatre (423 Central NW). Shows on Saturday, March 20; Tuesday, March 23; and Friday, March 26 are at 7:30 p.m. The performance on Sunday, March 28, is at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $20 to $65, with discounts available for students, seniors and groups. Get them through Opera Southwest (243-0591), ticketmaster.com or the KiMo Box Office (768-3544).
Book Review
Writing the War
The Room and the Chair
Seven years into the Iraq War, and more than eight since the invasion of Afghanistan, the one thing that has become inarguably clear is how much we did not know. Not just about WMDs and yellowcake uranium, but about tactics. Torture and spy planes and domestic surveillance—each revelation regarding the existence of often disturbing secrets is less a victory for truth and transparency than it is an indicator that there is much, much more we cannot see.
Portrait of the Artist
Call of the West
An interview with sculptor Daniel Richmond
Daniel Richmond moved to Albuquerque in the fall of 2009. A Vermont native with a breathtaking talent for woodcarving and a long-standing connection to the Southwest, he came here to pursue his MFA in Sculpture at UNM. Just last week, he embossed the names of 112 New Mexico endangered species in red Jemez dirt across the university's Smith Plaza. The meaning of the work rested as much on its creation as on its disappearance; within moments of its completion, students shuffled and skateboarded across the installation, wiping it away entirely. Over the next few months, he plans to repeat his 112 Endangered Names Embossed in Dirt project—and present many others—throughout the city. The Alibi wanted to know what motivates this fantastically curious new Albuquerquean. So we went and found out.

Best setup for Web Development in a group setting 27.10.11
Recently, a former co-working, Chris Horlick, asked me what the best setup would be for Web Development in a group setting.
I need some suggestions. Whats the best tool/setup for doing web development in a group setting? The requirements are a centralized code repository, a location to test development code on, and finally a way to push tagged code out to a staging server. What im thinking is svn/redmine for code repo, each user has an account on a central development machine to allow for ssh access(eclipse over ssh) and their own virtual host one the dev server. Code is tested then checked back into svn and later tagged and pushed out to the staging server. Yeah? Thoughts comments or recommendations?
*Also, in a dev environment what is the best way to handle databases? Is it wise to pull from the production database? Also should each developer have his/her own db or work off a master db?
I decided to make my response public in hopes that it may be useful to someone:
First off, SVN or Git version control is a must if you are developing in any kind of group environment.
It is best to have 3 different types of setups for servers; A production server (running a tag), A staging / test server (which runs trunk), and dev server or local environment (running a branch).
How you go about setting this up really depends on the framework you are using. There really is no good way to dev for PHP in a group environment. I've learned the best way to dev for PHP is to have a shared Dev server setup with SMB shared drive to aptana (unless everyone uses vi). We use SMB because frankly a SSH mount is too freaking slow. The actual staging server setup is a lot more complicated than I want to go into, but it's a lot of work to get up and running. The main point to it all is that development should never be done in Trunk and should never be done on the actual main staging or testing site. Just about every other language besides PHP has support for Development instances built into the framework. Ruby on Rails, Django, and Java all let you run multiple Dev instances on your local machine which makes things really nice.
The database work pretty much the same way as the production, staging, dev setup. Each instance should have it's own MySQL server. You should NEVER use mysql or any admin tool to create or modify DB schema. This should always be scripted out. Once again, PHP in general is lacking in this area, however you may be able to find a tool or Framework to handle schema versions correctly. Rails and Django have DB migration tools built into the framework and make updating and playing with DB schema easy. With both Rails and Django, DB development is always done in sqllite and then testing and production can be done in mysql. This allows for a more flexible development environment.
Rolling out a tag to a server is mainly process driven. It's best to document the process and always follow it. We create the tag from the staging server's trunk after it passes all of our tests. The roll out is very simple. We have also played around with tools called Capistrano that rolls out branches from SVN or Git to product or test servers. Capistrano is really nice once it is setup. Use Capistrano if you can.

Ultrasound examination, also called sonography or diagnostic medical sonography, is an imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce precise images of structures within your body. The images produced during an ultrasound examination often provide information that's valuable in diagnosing and treating a variety of diseases and conditions.
Most ultrasound examinations are done using a sonar device outside of your body, though some ultrasound examinations involve placing a device inside your body.
Despite its valuable uses, ultrasound can't provide images of all areas of your body. But there are several other imaging alternatives.
Why it's done
You may need to undergo an ultrasound for a variety of reasons. Ultrasound may be used, among other things, to:
- Evaluate a fetus
- Diagnose gallbladder disease
- Evaluate flow in blood vessels
- Guide a needle biopsy
- Guide the biopsy and treatment of a tumor
- Check your thyroid gland
- Study your heart
- Diagnose some forms of infection
- Diagnose some forms of cancer
- Reveal abnormalities in the scrotum and prostate
- Evaluate abnormalities of the muscles and tendons
This ultrasound shows gallstones.
An ultrasound uses sound waves to create an image. This ultrasound shows a benign liver tumor.
These ultrasound images help guide a needle into a tumor (left), where material is injected (right) to help destroy tumor cells.
Diagnostic ultrasound is a safe procedure that uses low-power sound waves. There are no direct risks from a diagnostic ultrasound exam. Rarely, higher power sound waves can be used for treatment purposes to heat and even destroy some types of tissue or tumors.
Although ultrasound is a valuable tool, it does have its limitations. Sound doesn't travel well through air or bone, so ultrasound isn't effective at imaging parts of your body that have gas in them or that are obscured by bone. Rather than using ultrasound to view these areas, your doctor may instead order other imaging tests, such as CT or MRI scans, or X-rays.
How you prepare
How you prepare for an ultrasound depends on which area of your body needs evaluation:
- Some ultrasound exams require no preparation.
- Others require that you forgo food and liquids for up to six hours before the exam.
- Still others require that you not urinate before the exam to ensure that your bladder will be full, allowing better visualization of the uterus, ovaries or prostate.
When scheduling your ultrasound, ask your doctor for specific instructions for your particular exam.
What you can expect
During an ultrasound exam, you usually lie on an examination table. A small amount of gel is applied to your skin. The gel helps eliminate the formation of air pockets between the ultrasound and your body. During the exam, a technician trained in ultrasound imaging (sonographer) presses a small hand-held device (transducer), about the size of a bar of soap, against your skin over the area of your body being examined, moving from one area to another as necessary.
Based on the same principles as sonar, a technology used to detect underwater objects, the transducer generates and receives high-frequency sound waves that can't be heard by the human ear.
As the sonographer places the transducer on your skin, crystals inside the transducer emit pulses of sound waves that travel into your body. Your tissues, bones and body fluids reflect the sound waves and bounce them back to the transducer. The transducer then sends this information to a computer, which composes detailed images based on the patterns created by the sound waves.
Though the majority of ultrasound exams are performed with a transducer on your skin, some ultrasounds are done inside your body (invasive ultrasounds). For these exams, the transducer is attached to a probe that's inserted into a natural opening in your body. Examples of these exams include:
- Transesophageal echocardiogram. The transducer is inserted into your esophagus to obtain images of the nearby heart. Such exams are typically performed along with sedation.
- Transrectal ultrasound. A small, specialized transducer is inserted into a man's rectum to view his prostate.
- Transvaginal ultrasound. A small, specialized transducer is inserted into a woman's vagina to view her uterus and ovaries.
During a transvaginal ultrasound, your doctor or a medical technician inserts a wand-like device (transducer) into your vagina while you lie on your back on an exam table. The transducer emits sound waves that generate images of your pelvic organs.
Ultrasound is usually a painless procedure. However, you may experience some mild discomfort as the sonographer guides the transducer over your body, especially if you're required to have a full bladder. A typical ultrasound exam takes from 30 minutes to an hour.
When your exam is complete, the sonographer and a radiologist generally view the ultrasound images on film or on a computer monitor. The radiologist analyzes the images and sends a report of the findings to your doctor.
If your ultrasound exam is for an urgent medical condition, your doctor should receive your results immediately. Otherwise, you should have your results within a few days.

I have an embarrassing confession to make. If someone asked me to name my favourite vegetable, I have a sneaky suspicion that I might name the common or garden pea. No, not even a sugar snap. Just the plain, ordinary, bog-standard pea.
I am embarrassed by this on various levels. Firstly, it seems somewhat unimaginative. With all the wonderful vegetables now available to us, why would I choose something so... routine? Secondly, and this really pains me to write, but I have a slight preference towards the frozen variety over the fresh. Yes. Really. Ok, so a freshly shelled pea plucked from the stalk moments ago takes some beating, but once they have been packed up and sat around for a few days they seem to develop a nasty, hard texture and loose all their sweetness. Frozen peas seem to retain their lovely pea flavour for longer. Is it just me? I hope not.
Anyway, my love for the humble pea is bordering on obsession. I throw them liberally into pasta sauces, pour a few into a risotto, simmer them in ham stock and whizz them into a soup. Pair them with almost anything and everything. Imagine my sheer delight when I discovered that my newest brother-in-law shares my passion and insists on them with the Christmas turkey. In a bit to make him 'feel at home' my mother grudgingly permitted them to be served with the festive feast last year. A triumph for the simple pea.
Last night I fancied some fish. As you do. I picked up a bit of lemon sole. What to serve with it? Peas, of course. Better still, a pea purée. I picked up a some fresh peas - surprisingly good ones with a lovely sweetness. I'll eat the remaining ones raw tonight in a salad. This was a simple and quick supper but good enough to impress if you had guests. It is pleasing both on the eye and the palate.
Ingredients - for 2
2 fillets of lemon sole
juice and grated rind of half a lemon
Knob of butter
Sprig of thyme
1 leek or small white onion
4 good handfuls of peas (fresh or frozen)
Vegetable stock cube
1 tablespoon cream cheese or creme fraiche
Salt and pepper
Pre-heat oven to 200C
1. Place each fillet of sole onto a large sheet of foil. Top with lemon rind and juice. Dot with butter. Season well with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the thyme leaves.
2. Fold foil around the fish to create a parcel, leaving a little space between the fish and the foil at the top so that the fish can 'steam' within the parcel. This will ensure it stays moist.
3. Bake fish in oven for 10 minutes.
4. Whilst the fish is cooking, sweat the leek or onion in a little butter until translucent. Add the peas and a little boiling water. Add the stock cube and simmer for a couple of minutes, until the peas are cooked.
5. Drain the peas but RETAIN the water. Place peas in blender along with a little of the stock and whizz until fairly smooth - add more stock until desired consistency. Add cream cheese or creme fraiche to taste. Season well.
6. Pour purée onto plates and top with the cooked fish.
Notes - I served this with some crushed new potatoes under the fish. Don't do as I did and use chicken stock rather than vegetable - I found the flavour of the chicken stock a little overwhelming with the fish.
Wine Notes - I enjoyed an Alsace Pinot Blanc from Josmeyer with this.

Title: Angel Voices

Release Date: 11/28/2016
One frigid winter night a week before Christmas, college student Will stumbles into a church during choir practice, bruised by his own father's hands. He's out of the closet now—there's no going back since his fundamentalist father learned the truth—but he's also out of a home, a family, and a future. Will has nowhere to turn. No one to care.
Except . . . Will's roommate, Quinn, cares. Maybe too much. He's been attracted to Will since they moved in together, but never dreamed his crush was gay. With Will's life in pieces, Quinn doesn't want to push. He also knows he has more experience than Will, who's never even been kissed.
Then Will's father makes a reappearance, and Will has to learn to trust his heart more than the voices of his past. But it's the season of miracles, faith, and hope, and Quinn is determined to teach Will how to love and be loved.
Hello! This is Rowan Speedwell checking in with more stuff about life, the universe, and "Angel Voices," the second edition of my Christmas story, out November 28th. Since it is the holiday season, what better way to celebrate than with a drawing for a $15 Riptide gift card? Here's the catch—you can't just comment randomly. No, you have to ask a question—one I can answer, no "what's the airspeed velocity of a laden swallow" sort of thing. And no math. And keep it clean! I'll answer you back and at the end of the blog tour do a drawing for the gift card from all the entries!
Time-sucks. We all have them. For most of us, it's social networks—Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat, whatever. You can disappear into them. Slip in there to check something out, and four hours later you raise your dazed head and wonder where the hell the day went. Sometimes it's a good time—you come out laughing at the latest Joe Biden memes or otter videos. Sometimes you come out broken and bleeding by the awful way people treat each other. It can happen both ways. Social networks are great for networking, and for keeping in touch with people you can't see regularly, and for reconnecting with long lost friends and relatives. But sometimes it's an endless feedback loop for insanity.
I don't spend a lot of time on social networks. I have a Facebook account and a Twitter account, but I almost never post on either anymore. I don't even follow the Yahoo groups for the various publishers I work with. I know, as an author, that I should be connecting with readers and promoting my books and keeping track of what's going on… but I can't. I can't get caught up in the drama. I can't muster the outrage that some posts demand of me and still keep sane. After a certain point I can't even get excited about funny stuff. I just can't bear the constant input.
Have you ever been to Vegas? Or even a local casino? They have patterned carpeting on the floors, and patterned ceilings. They have lights flashing everywhere. Heck, they have lights on the floors! It's a nonstop sensory assault—exciting, distracting. I went to Vegas—once. I had two panic attacks in the first twenty-four hours I was there, and have sworn never to return.
I don't cope well with too much sensory input. Sometimes, like when I'm reading, I can filter things out, but mostly I can't. If someone's talking to me and a loud truck goes by, I can't focus on what she's saying, because I can't filter the noise. I live alone and work alone, and it works for me.
You'll notice I didn't say that I avoided the Internet. Nope. My time-suck is research. That's where I can get lost for hours without even noticing the time going by. I compulsively check news feeds, not only for current events—can they get any more depressing lately?—but for the odd things, like scientists discovering critters that can live in volcanoes and figuring out that Pluto has a subterranean ocean because of its erratic orbit or something, or stories about 18th century serial killers. I love that stuff. I can get lost in it for hours.
I think there should be something like Facebook but for asocial types like me. It would be an AntiSocial Network. Lots of research sites, no popup ads (sensory overload!!!), and cute videos with otters and cats and hedgehogs and sloths. And Joe Biden memes. But no mean stuff. No drama. No "share this post and <choose your deity> will reward you with <whatever>." (Cuz those just suck.) Just things to watch and read and feel good about.
We could call it ReadBook. Who's with me?

"Lost and found and nearly drowned/and stranded in a tree,
the pirates found themselves marooned/denied their life at sea,
with wits and steel they cut a deal/and made a common cause,
but little did they know they sailed/into the viper's jaws."
The Ballad of the
Roundtable Pirates Castaways by Rothas Menteur (work in progress)
Our scurvy band of brigands washed ashore on the isle of Eastwick, on the Eastern border of Bretony. While serving last rites to their unfortunate companion Bartholomew Spencer, they discovered a treasure map tattooed on his back and a note home hidden within his filth-matted beard. The party relieved him of both the map and the note before commending him to a semi-dignified burial at sea.
After an awkward encounter with a stranger in the woods, our miscreants came upon the farming village of Bloody Bay, where they were treated to a less-than-friendly reception. They learned that the people of the village were on edge due to a series of increasingly bold kidnappings by a local band of slavers. The party investigated the kidnappings and eventually managed to trail the kidnappers into the nearby woods, where they stealthily crept into the camp and took the slavers completely by surprise. After a fierce battle, our crew managed to free the kidnapped family of farmers (and a bizarrely-named local leatherworker with a penchant for cutting throats), convince one of the slavers of the error of his ways, and bring the leader of the band back to Bloody Bay to await his rightful punishment. However, shortly after the arrival of Lieutenant Sebastian Carver, the representative of the local constabulary designated to carry out the leader's execution, the man and his guard were both found dead. Our piratical party now heads for the village of Eastwick, with an offer of potential employment from none other than the local magistrate…

In a lively review of David Sloan Wilson's Darwin's Cathedral [NYR, November 7, 2002], Jared Diamond writes: "It will surprise most Jews, Christians, and Muslims to learn that this link between religion and morality is entirely absent in the New Guinean societies of which I have experience." I don't think they will be nearly as surprised by this assertion as people familiar with New Guinea societies and religions.... Traditional religious beliefs and practices varied immensely throughout New Guinea, but nowhere was morality divorced from religion. Instead, the spiritual and the moral were deeply conjoined--even in the case of warfare, I might add--as has been documented in hundreds of articles and books.

Virginia-based Movement Mortgage, co-founded six years ago by a former Panthers player, announced last week that it has hit an employment milestone: the hiring of its 1,500th employee.
The announcement comes as the privately held mortgage bank, which has a large operation in Charlotte, continues its fast expansion as its seeks to gain market share.
Movement has grown from just four employees when it was founded in 2008 by ex-Panthers tight end Casey Crawford and business partner Toby Harris. Last year and the year before, Inc. magazine named it to its list of fastest-growing private companies in America.
It did not make the magazine's list this year.
Movement's strategy is to make loans largely for home purchases, not to refinance existing mortgages. It says its goal is to process loans within seven business days. According to its website, it is processing more than 70 percent of loans in that time frame.
The company is adding employees at a time when the mortgage market continues to see a shift toward home purchasing rather than refinancing. The Mortgage Bankers Association expects purchase originations to increase 15 percent next year as refinance originations decrease 3 percent. Refinancing activity began declining last year as interest rates rose.
This year, Movement has added about 50 employees in the Charlotte region, where it employs about 200 people, the company said.
The company says it operates in 40 states and has about 300 licensed offices. It says it employs the most in Virginia Beach, where it is headquartered, with about 375 employees.
The company went by the name New American Mortgage until last year.

It is extremely hard to calculate how much money you save by not buying something. That is probably why it is so often that we don't notice it's effect on our wallets. It is so much easier to remember that you saved $5 on a $50 dollar sweater that was 10% off than to remember that you saved $50 by no buying it in the first place.
Of course you can also go wild calculating how many things you could have bought and didn't. Kudos to me for not buying that book shelf I wanted or that car I was considering. I'm sure you could find a hundred thousand dollars worth of stuff that you want that you haven't bought. I sure can.
Often financial advisors tell us not to buy stuff, but the action of not buying is inherently abstract. So I've come up with a small exercise to make the idea more concrete. When I'm at home I will really look at the things that I own, and then making a list of all the things that I won't replace when they wear out. These are things that either I won't miss since I rarely use or perform a function that could be done by something else. While I could sell some of these things they have very low resale value and quite honestly aren't worth the effort it would take to sell them.
They are:
-My kettle – It was a need-to-have in my university dorm, but I rarely use it now and I can just as easily heat water in a pan.
-My nick-nacks – Read my musing here.
-About half of my kitchen utensils – I have a good number of duplicates. I only really need one set of measuring cups, one ladle, one lifter . . .
-My microwave – I'm still musing about this one since it is pretty new still, but I'm thinking most things that I put in it can be done in the microwave oven or on the stovetop.
-Desks – I own three, I really only need one.
I'm sure as I continue to go along this list will keep growing. Paying attention to what I don't use often, or that can be replaced by another object I own prevents me from running out to replace something when it starts to wear out. Try it. The excess of stuff that you've got in your life might just surprise you.

TSG Wikiproject
TSG Wikiproject
Unfortunately, as all wikis grow they require organising to remain useful. This page is the central area for wiki co-ordination. Suggestions for the wiki's organisation, ideas for improvement, and thoughts on general collaborative policy go here.
Eric — 01 August 2008, 15:03
Haha! I could see that...
Noie — 29 July 2008, 15:41
Does anyone else think Svdl's 30-40 something "Oh boy, coffee sure is swell!" games should be here somewhere?
Deathclaw — 23 May 2007, 22:40
I like the Pit idea becuase then I can at least play with myself.
Eric — 21 March 2007, 23:38
Luminar - thanks for the note. many of these ideas are being / have been integrated.
Luminar — 04 March 2007, 01:14
There pretty much NEEDS to be some process of getting rid of the game ruiners or at the very least marking them out. They're getting into too many games and destroying any and all potential in them, and it's getting to the point they're infact claiming a majority of posts in given games.
So I propose some kind of mark system.. if a user sees a contribution that is obviously just an attempt to ruin games, they can "mark" it. If one paticular user accrues enough black marks, it flags them up to be checked out by you, and some form of action can be taken if it's found to be just.
Ways to prevent use of this.. only give paid members the ability to mark, or be able to take away the ability to mark accounts from ones who are obviously just abusing it. Say for example a group of trolls bands together and marks all of svdl's stuff - he obviously isn't an abuser, so said trolls silently lose their ability to mark people. They still *think* they can but the system simply won't put any through for them.
As for action, you could make a new category for games (perhaps entitled "The Pit" or somesuch) in that punished users can only start or participate in "Pit" flagged games, and will not be able to access normal user or paid member games.
An alternative would be something like SomethingAwful's hellban - they think nothing's happened, but absolutley nothing they submit is going through. They can still press play and submit whatever sentence or pic they like, and the system will confirm acceptance of it and block them from accessing that game again - but the system simply just doesn't accept it and keeps that game open for someone who's going to play properly.
Eric — 03 March 2007, 16:55
looks good to me!
Daxx — 03 March 2007, 04:53
I changed the main page to redirect to TSG/TSG. Hope that's okay; it should alleviate the need to navigate manually and it's not like anyone used the main page for anything except as a page to click through.
Eric — 02 March 2007, 11:49
good point - done.
Liani — 02 March 2007, 10:42
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to navigate back to the TSG playing pages from the Wiki. Just a link on the sidebar would be really lovely.
Eric — 02 March 2007, 00:12
I also think that perhaps there's no need for a "front" page that's different than the TSG front page.
Eric — 02 March 2007, 00:11
Thanks for creating this page -- I think that some discussion of the organization is a good idea. I'm already realizing that the current layout is kind of unwieldy. I don't really like that the "Memes" link in the sidebar isn't really where to add new memes -- I'm going to reorganize this. Any thoughts about it?

That Time of Year
Honestly, though, we haven't had too many goopy sandwiches this summer. We're still figuring out the bread situation, Chez Crumb. This one is a gluten-free pre-sliced loaf that's amazingly edible. Really good, in fact.
So here's your criterial BLT, made with tomatoes that are increasingly marauding us with their prolifitude. We're still ahead of them, but in a few days we might have to get out the food mill and freezer bags. The bacon is homemade; quite simple (no sissy extra flavors like Fluffernut Brine). The lettuce is from the farmers market. And the mayonnaise comes from a jar with a blue lid.
I'm going to keep eating these as long as the tomatoes keep coming in.
I am NOT having any ratatouille this summer. At all.

You even make your own bacon? Nifty.

No ratatouille? Poor eggplant.
And congrats on finding a delish bread that agrees with you.
- 9:39 PM, August 31, 2009
- Zoomie said...
Try the sandwich open faced and with avocado instead of the bacon. Killer with a squeeze of lemon juice and a big grinding of fresh pepper.
- 9:41 PM, August 31, 2009
- Chilebrown said...
Fluffernut Brine?
- 5:32 AM, September 01, 2009

Denise: It's not as big a deal as it sounds, if you can get pork belly. You don't even need to smoke it. Really, last night I had potato chips for supper. :-)
Kailyn: I still love the eggplant. I've got ideas for it, but I'm just not going to make the usual vegetable stew this time. (The bread is good enough that even Cranky likes it.)
Zoomie: That sounds delicious! Lemon juice. But -- the bacon stays! They got a name for this sandwich: the BLAT.
Chilebrown: Well, I was sort of exaggerating. I didn't want to name any names.
- 9:22 AM, September 01, 2009
- Kalyn said...
Oh goodie, so glad you found a bread that will work. I'm with you on the blue lid. Just about to make one of these myself. Amazingly, I'm starting to like them better without the bacon though. (I think this may be a braces thing for me.)
- 10:34 AM, September 01, 2009
- Heather said...
I used to eat tomatoes just with mayo, no sandwich. Love them.
- 2:13 PM, September 01, 2009
- peter said...
We're not having any ratatouille either, but mostly because our zucchini are all rotting in the rain.
I hope by "sissy extra flavors" you don't mean to deride my super-orgasmic eye-rolling miso bacon. Because it's the SHIT.
Seriously, though- if you are making bacon, is mayonnaise so hard? It'll change your life.
- 4:17 PM, September 01, 2009
- cookiecrumb said...
Kalyn: It's a relief. We always bought "artisan" bread at the farmers market anyway, so there's no harm in bought bread... Maybe we'll start baking with those odd flours.
Good luck with your tomatoes! When you get your braces off, you'll be in bacon heaven (and pretty!).
Heather: Why, that sounds like a lap sandwich. Best consumed with an adoring partner or a paying customer. Mm.
Peter: That is such a sad story. Rain, go away. Very sad.
Now, was I dissing you for the ponzu bacon? I'm not naming names, Peter. Oh, I just did. No, I'm jealous of yours, and might try it next time.
As for mayo, I've made my own. It's OK. I don't die for it... I'm a rube.

My favorite sandwich....Yumible! Like Denise, I was impressed about making your own bacon. As a kid, I made sausage and cured hams -- that wasn't so fun as a kid.
- 5:39 PM, September 01, 2009
- namastenancy said...
You make your own bacon? I am impressed! I am so with you on the BLT for this time of year - the tomatoes (which I get at the Farmer's Market) are delicious. I also make a BLT with a crumble of feta - does that make it a BLTF?
- 9:37 AM, September 02, 2009
- cookiecrumb said...
ArmadilloPepper: How can you not be impressed with your own self, making sausages and hams when you were small? I've never tried that! Yet. (The cool thing about making your own bacon is, when you run out, you make more.)
Nancy: I should just get a crew of friends together for a backyard smoking. Only takes two hours. Better still, we could go to the Boom Boom Room chez Biggles; he's got lots of rigs.
As for your sandwich, that sounds so good I would never have thought of it. (I'm a prig. I mean a purist.) You and Zoomie should have a BLT variety tasting. I'll be there.
- 9:46 AM, September 02, 2009
- Lannae said...
I am still looking for local pork belly (seems like it all gets bought by restaurants) to make my version of bacon. I still have my local bacon source, so I could do that. I have not gotten tomatoes in my CSA for weeks and weeks, so I am worried I might not get an autumn local BLT. :P But, we are lucky here, we have not gotten the tomato blight like in the N.E. Was up there a lot this year, no tomatoes and no peaches (there was a freeze during peach blossom time). There are beets ... can I make a BLB? Anyway, I am going to try and make mayo from the orangy yolk local eggs and some super flavorful olive oil from a small producer in Sanoma. !!

Looking forward to hearing more about your food mill & freezer bag adventures---I've been trying it out for the first time this summer, with differing degrees of freezer burn, ack!
- 10:23 AM, September 05, 2009
- cookiecrumb said...
Lannae: I don't know how user-friendly your butchers are, but you might be able to make a special request and they would hold a piece for you. If you think that's even possible, start searching the Internet for your pink curing salt now. Look for Instacure. It will take a while to ship, and you want to be ready if you get a belly. I used Michael Ruhlman's recipe in "Charcuterie"; it's very reliable. Go!
Ashley: I've always roasted my tomatoes in a deep dish with a squirt of oil; I'm not sure it's necessary but it does reduce the moisture so you're not storing so much.
Here's my main advice: Use one-qt. freezer bags with zippers. Fill as full as you want, but squeeze all the air out. Freeze them flat, and THEN slide a stack of filled bags inside a one-gal. freezer bag and zip it up. Double bagging is your friend.

Katie and Mike were married last winter at King Family Vineyards in Crozet, VA. Their day was full of tons of love, laughter, and fun surprises for their guests and for each other. Katie surprised Mike with a bagpipe rendition of the Notre Dame fight song during their reception that had everyone signing and cheering. It has been a little over a year since this sweet couple's big day and it is still one of my absolute favorite weddings to date! Take a look at their wedding video here.

This program engages kids of all ages from schools, youth groups, clubs and organizations to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish® Hawaii mission.
A great way to promote leadership, initiative and social responsibility for our younger generation! Our wish kids are between the ages of 2 ½ and 18 years old. This program provides an avenue for local keiki to support their friends, peers, and relatives who are battling a critical illness.
Class/School Spirit Chain- Students compete with other class levels to create the longest chain of paper links that can be sold for a dollar each. Use it to decorate the hallways.
(Funny) Photo Contest- Those who are interested in photography can have their photos framed or matted to raise money at a juried art show held at your school's auditorium, classroom, or cafeteria. (One dollar equals one vote)
Garage Sale- One man's trash is another man's treasure! Get rid of all your unused items and host a garage sale.
Penny Wars- Each grade level competes to collect the most pennies. Students are encouraged to put other types of coins to get the corresponding amount of pennies subtracted from their total count.
Wish Stars- Sell paper wish stars for a dollar and have the buyers write their names on the stars to be proudly displayed.

Designed for college institutions to allow interested student organizations, athletic teams and other student groups to contribute their time and energy to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Students get the opportunity to organize, raise funds and manage their program ideas with support from advisors and other individuals. This hands-on experience allows them to see firsthand how they can impact a child's life by helping to fund wishes through their own initiative and community engagement.
