You can stop reading whenever you want
Whenever I let one poem take up a whole page--or, rather, when I really let white space take up the whole page, I think something like: "This is lame. And precious. And I know that 'precious' has very gendered connotations." And then I change it back so that the page has text all over it. I don't want there to be very many rests in my work. I don't want to encourage my readers to rest in my poems. I want them to be, at best, carried away, overwhelmed, energized, breathless. Turned on.

Pauvre Pierrot
It's been a while since I've blogged. Blame work, school, and a bike accident that wasn't but could have been very nasty. I have some fabulous bruises, but that's all.
This morning I've been reading Rachel Zolf's blog The Tolerance Project, a collaborative writing project with eighty writers, artists, and thinkers from across Canada and the United States. Rachel is the author of Human Resources, and winner of the 2008 Trillium Book Award for Poetry. So, why is she in an MFA program? Rachel Zolf is Canadian, and when her female partner got a tenure-track job at a university in the USA, she was not able to legally move with her to New York because their relationship is not legally recognized by US immigration authorities. Becoming a student was really her only other option for obtaining a visa. In her Statement to MFA Workshop October 13, she writes:
...what is most important for my project is that it is a collaborative take on the MFA as an institution within larger state apparatuses. That is the key concept behind my project, a deconstruction of how "authors" and "voices" are created through the process of the MFA, linked with how difference is "tolerated" (or not) in general in the US. I wanted to provoke a look at how the MFA works as a process, by deliberately blowing up the authorial creation and feedback process beyond this room. There is a long tradition in the art world of looking at the workings of art institutions such as art museums and art collecting practices and the creation of the artist as a commodity.If Carolyn Forche had been more present at George Mason and they'd had more funding for me, I might have gone there instead of doing an MA at Georgetown. In fact, I think my critique of MFA programs only became fully developed when I left the east coast and found that not even community colleges wanted to hire me to teach. On the east coast, no one cared that I didn't have an MFA. Most of the major east coast cities have active poetry and arts communities that aren't centered on MFA programs. In other words, I don't think I was fully aware of the degree to which MFA programs were becoming the norm and the ways in which creative writing is professionalized in the US.
I suspect that the farther you get from the city in the US, the more likely MFA programs and educational institutions will be central to art communities. That's an undeveloped argument, I know. But where are the poets going to hang out if you have to drive to the bar? You hang out at school, I guess. Some one give me counter examples.
I'm taking a brief break from typing up my comments to the other people in my poetry workshop--I'm still irritated by the way submitting individual poems to workshop really discourages things like abrupt tonal shifts and strange juxtapositions. I fall into descriptions: this poem is doing this here and that there, that poem is doing that there and this here. I look for strangeness and moments of disorientation. I ask about other poems and refer to previous poems and try to extend the context of the poem as far beyond the workshop as I can. I don't like how workshopping encourages writing for workshopping.
I do like having an immediate group of readers. That's nice. Everyone in my class is intelligent, thoughtful and creative. But more feedback doesn't equal better feedback. Just like after every reading I give there's almost always a woman who is slightly older that me whom I've never met who wants to give me a lot of specific suggestions about the pace of my reading, my clothing, and how I need to learn to breathe differently. I know that my feedback on other people's work has as much to do with me as it does to do with their poems. Obviously.
I am enjoying all the reading and discussion that I'm doing for both the workshop and the other seminar on Modernist aesthetics and art movements. I'm remembering things that I like, reading things I've read, reading a lot of things I haven't read. In some cases, I'm evaluating my relationship to things that I respected but thought I wasn't that interested in.
Example: it turns out that I might actually be more excited by Fanny Howe's work than I previously thought.
Example: now that I've had to read some more Donald Revell, I can be much more articulate about why I really dislike it.
Example: I've never written about Modernist theater or performance. In fact, out of all the major a-g Modernist, I've probably read Artaud and Beckett the least. It's exciting, then, to read them and others and think about a genre that I haven't thought much about.
When I was doing my MA at Georgetown, I felt pressured to make every seminar paper full of amazingly brilliant critical insight that would somehow be relevant to the field. Now I don't mind if I use my term paper as an excuse to think about and learn about things that I want to think about and learn about. I don't care so much about the field. If I have any academic career ahead of me at all, which is doubtful, it's certainly not going to be based on my ability to write normative academic articles. So, in the meantime, I get to read Artaud and Beckett. I get to think about Jacques Copeau and the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier, especially the years it was in New York, and also Charles Dullin. How Artaud's name comes up constantly in the work of the artists and actors who were busy reviving/changing/rejecting pantomime and thinking about a more physical theater centered on actors and gesture.

Letters to the Editor, November 14-16, 2012
November 14, 2012
We are all so fortunate to live, work, and raise our families here in Park City. Part of the magic that makes this community so special comes from the community support and hard work put forth by the various nonprofit organizations in our town. We ride and hike trails provided by Mountain Trails, love our animals adopted from Friends of Animals, watch our kids play Basin Rec soccer, socialize at Mountain Town Music concerts, see cows and horses on open space provided by Summit Land Conservancy, and the list goes on.
On November 16, 2012, The Park City Foundation and all nonprofit organizations are inviting all of us to support the community, organizations, services, events, people, and places that we love. The Park City Foundation has been a tremendous ally to our organization on so many levels and I urge every community member to join the fun and support his or her favorite organizations on this special day.

How Republicans blew it in the Nov. 6 election
The sole reason Republicans lost the election was their push to take away rights from other people. Millions of other people. But it seems they are taking absolutely the wrong lesson from defeat, and still can't see what they did wrong.
Instead of reaching out to growing demographic populations who might be swayed by the grand old philosophy of small government and fiscal conservatism, they morphed into an American Taliban repressing women's freedoms, and let loose some ruthless efforts to bust other peoples' rice bowls. That is a no-no, worthy of a time out.
In Congress and every red state, Republicans went after people's jobs, women's rights, gay rights, voters' rights, collective bargaining rights, and health care. They resisted immigration reform and help for veterans and the unemployed, while sticking their noses into everybody's bedrooms, doctors' offices, and workplaces. They stalled the jobs stimulus bill and would let the auto industry go bankrupt because their hatred for the president was more powerful than their patriotism.
Shameless voter suppression finally got them sent to the woodshed. Patriots stood in line for hours come hell or high water to protect their American right to vote. Time for some soul-searching.

on march 1, 2009
we had our first......

Under Analysis: The Psychology of Tudor's Ballets
By Alastair Macaulay
When the choreographer Antony Tudor, whose centenary is being celebrated this year, moved to America in 1939, the moment could not have been more right. He was known as the psychological choreographer, and he arrived when psychology entered American popular culture. In 1938 Fred Astaire played Ginger Rogers's psychoanalyst in "Carefree"; in 1942 Claude Rains steered Bette Davis back from a nervous breakdown in "Now, Voyager." Later Martha Graham would become yet more famous for the Greek myths she turned into modern-dance psychodramas, but that phase – like Hitchcock's (notably in "Spellbound," 1945) – had not yet arrived.
Back in 1936, however, in none-too-psychology-friendly London, Tudor created "Jardin aux Lilas" (sometimes called "Lilac Garden"), often labeled the first psychological ballet. Nobody played a psychiatrist in it, but its steps, gestures and phrases showed flickering aspects of repression, denial, private longing, heartbreak, personal conflict and hypocrisy, all against a setting both romantic (a garden with lilacs in full bloom at twilight) and conformist (with characters in Edwardian dress, middle-class and formal).

The Droid is reborn. Well, reborn again, we guess, since there have already been two other phones bearing the Droid moniker following the success of the original Droid last holiday season. The Droid 2 now joins the HTC Droid Incredible and fellow Motorola Droid X at the forefront of Verizon's Droid lineup, replacing its predecessor. What does Motorola's Droid 2 switch up? Take a look.For more pictures, check out our Droid 2 photo gallery.
What does it improve over the original Droid?
Let's start with what's not new. The Droid 2 has the same 3.7-inch LCD, 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and 720 x 480 video capabilities as the original Droid. Even the phone's outside dimensions and weight are identical.
However, processor speed leaps from 550MHz to 1GHz, which should make it much more competitive with the latest group of Android challengers, like Samsung's Galaxy S. Internal storage shoots from 256MB to 8GB, while the size of the included microSD card shrinks from 16GB to 8GB, leaving them with about the same total storage capacity out of the box. Motorola has also managed to tweak the software enough to deliver significantly more battery life from the same size batter: 9.6 hours of talk time instead of 6.4, and 13.1 days of standby instead of 11.3. It will also run Android 2.2, also known as Froyo, right out of the box, though the Droid will get an update to 2.2 shortly. Motorola's MotoBlur social networking software will also come standard.
Naturally, the new version is also a little bit more curvaceous, and wears silver instead of black.
Check out the launch announcement for full specs.
Why choose the Droid 2 over the Droid X or Droid Incredible?
Mostly the keyboard. Like the original Motorola Droid, the Droid 2 splits at the seams to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, while both the alternatives only offer virtual keyboards. In terms of screen size, processing power and even general appearance, it's not much of a departure from the Droid X or Incredible.
Has the keyboard changed from the original Droid?
Yes, a little bit. The original Droid drew quite a bit of criticism for its flat keys and side directional pad, which shoved the rest of the keyboard off center. The Droid 2 leaves out the directional pad for a centered keyboard, although the keys appear to be just as flat as the first time around.
What will Android 2.2 bring to the table?
Like all new versions of Android, 2.2 brings some important speed and stability increases, but also new features as well.
Perhaps most importantly, Adobe Flash 10.1 will come standard, allowing Froyo devices to run finally run Flash content. It also opens up Wi-Fi hotspot capability, so you can use an Android 2.2 device to share your 3G Internet connectivity out to Wi-Fi connected devices – provided you pay your ISP for the service.
Smaller changes include a handful of user interface tweaks, improved Microsoft Exchange support, the ability to install apps on an SD card, and massively improved JavaScript performance thanks to Google's new V8 JavaScript engine.
When does the Droid 2 come out? How much?
Verizon has already opened preorders for the Motorola Droid 2 online, and the phones are slated to arrive August 12. Like every other phone in the Droid lineup, the Droid 2 costs $199.99 after discounts and a two-year contract.

I'm still digging through the massive collection of Mega Bloks Dragons sets that I recently purchased and I must say that I'm completely amazed at just what is in those storage crates.
Fortunately quite a few of the set instruction books were included with the deal or else I would be having a very hard time trying to make sense of everything.
In no partcular order the set books I have are for : -
9891 Dragons Krystal Wars Vorgan Stronghold
9885 Dragons Krystal Wars Marauders Cliff
9648 Dragons Dragonstone Battlefield
9652 Dragons Iron Raiders Raiders Sea Assault
96000 Dragons Siege Chariot
9664 Fire & Ice Dragons Fire Ambush
9889 Fire & Ice Dragons Portal of Fire
96002 Dragons Siege of Raider's Keep
96001 Dragons Battlestorm Castle
9813 Dragons Metal Ages Ramparts of Ryousan
In addition to these I have parts for some sort of large ice mountain set that I don't have the book for and two very large ship sets that are also without books. One is in wood grain brown and I think is from the Man-O-War set, - the other is mostly white and I haven't a clue which set it's from.
Those ships are big too. When I was into Playmobil wargaming I purchased a second hand Playmobil ship (which I have since sold) and these two ships are easily as big as that. The Mega Bloks King Arthur galley I have in my collection looks like a dingy alongside the Dragons ships. Something I do like about MB ships though is that they have cloth sails.
I'm really going to have to do something about figuring out rules for battles at sea (rivers, lakes & etc) as I'm starting to amass a fair collection of boats and ships these days.
One of the storage boxes contains nuffing but dragons. I didn't realise that MB made so many different dragons over the years. I had a few of the older series hard plastic dragons already which are a bit naff looking, but the later dragons made from softer and more flexible plastics are waaaay better. Some of them would look just fine if they were used for Warhammer Fantasy Battles with the Shadow Dragon GRYNDEL from the Ramparts of Ryousan set being the best of the lot. It's the only one to have a flexible wire skeleton which allows it to be realistically posed. If I was still playing Warhammer I'd be delighted to field it in all its two foot long glory in my Elf Army.
The only thing which is a bit annoying is that the two headed dragon from the Iron Raiders Sea Assault set seems to be missing. It's one of the older hard plastic dragons, but I'd still like to have one of them in the collection.
With at least three big castle sets in the mix along with what I already had I'm planning on building up a massive fortress city. It's actually about the best way to store the sets as they take up a lot of room in dismantled condition.
Apart from all that there are piles and piles of armoured warriors from all the Dragons factions with ever so many weapons, shields, banners, war machines etc etc that it will take me a while just to get them all sorted into their various armies.

Kindergartners celebrated Thanksgiving at Adams Elementary School on Tuesday.
Students chowed down on all the traditional fixings during the three kindergarten classes' annual Thanksgiving Feast.
"We've been preparing for turkey time for weeks," said teacher Robyn Reese. "We do this every year as an annual tradition to teach the children about the Thanksgiving traditions, community and sharing."
Genesis, 4, and her mother, Erika Silva, agreed that Thanksgiving is about sharing with all types of people.
"I think it's incredible that they start teaching them to share and interact and that people can be together no matter what race or color," Silva said.
Sharing wasn't hard with so much food to go around.
Students noshed on corn bread, rolls, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, corn, green beans and the all-important turkey.
Parent Diedre Stary, who volunteered her time despite no longer having kindergartners, dished up warm turkey out of a crock pot to the students.
The feast was made by the parents as well as Marie Callender's and Boston Market, which donated cooked turkeys.
The parents went all out for dessert too with 18 apple and pumpkin pies, 10 cans of whipped cream and various other goodies.
"I like pumpkin pie," Lizbeth Jiminez, 5, said as she waited in line.
"Me too, but with no whip cream," added Zack Wiesenberg, 5.
The feast started with two songs by the kindergartners dresses up in character: turkeys with brown paper wings and colorful, feathered headdresses; pilgrims in black paper hats and white paper bonnets and aprons; and Native Americans in vests cut out of brown paper bags and colored headdresses.
"We are thankful for our friends," the students sang. "On Thanksgiving Day, we are here to say 'Thank you. Thank you.'"
Karina Salinas, 5, said the singing was fun because she likes to be thankful, especially for all her peers. Her friend Crystal Rodriguez, 5, agreed.
"I am thankful for my family," Crystal said.
"I am thankful for my teacher," Karina added.

My primary issue is with the connection at Market Street. Reminds me of the "connection" at Chatelet in Paris. Sure, you look at the map and it looks like all sorts of lines conveniently transfer there. In practice, some of the transfers are very long walks - The walking distance from Line 7 at Châtelet to the RER lines at Châtelet – Les Halles is circa 750 metres . The Central Subway to Market Street Subway transfer isn't 1/2 a mile, it's 1000 feet, but this also requires two pretty time consuming escalator rides.
Once we get into this sort of thing, the transfer becomes very tedious, is a disincentive for usage, and the line is underutilized. That is the crux of why transit advocates cry for the money to be used elsewhere. But if the connection were good, it might just get usage and cries for the line to extend to North Beach and around towards the Marina, which would be a useful legacy for later generations.
But I digress - the title of this article refers to the much ballyhooed connection to Caltrain. Looking at the map, it seems like the "easy" transfer at Union/Powell will allow riders to skip the current roundabout route around Embarcadero to the Caltrain station, and go directly down 4th Street. But this is still fraught with simple mistakes that can really mess up a transit system.
The Central Subway blog brags thus...
the new station located at 4th/Brannan Street will provide an additional transfer point if needed to Caltrain at 4th and Townsend streets.
Brannan Street is 2 blocks away from Caltrain. After our valiant rider has ridden from the Castro to Powell, and navigated the Chatelet of San Francisco to get to the Central Subway at Union Station, they are then dumped off uncermoniously at Brannan, facing a similar connection. But unlike the Powell-Union transfer - they are faced with a 2 block walk that includes crossing a high speed South of Market arterial - Brannan is 2 lanes in each direction and not a fun street to cross - while at the same time looking at their watch wondering if they will make their Caltrain.
Alternatively, the rider could stay on the train until the current station on the East side of King Street - which seems to actually be the most obvious Caltrain transfer point. This requires that the rider wait through the light cycle at Brannan, another one at Townsend, and finally the light at King Street - a horrible intersection including cars rushing to 280 as well as the possibility of being held up by a crossing N-Judah train. Once across King, the rider would then have to cross back across King, a crossing that already exists and is pretty dodgy.
In practice, riders coming from the North will in fact get off at Brannan and run down 4th Street to make their train. Time is money, especially when it comes to missing the Caltrain - I ride my bike and take it on the train because taking MUNI makes it far too likely that I'll miss a train, and missing a train is deadly. I, like most N->S riders, work nowhere near a train station, and rely on a company shuttle that only meets certain trains. If I miss a train by one minute, I am arriving at work at least one hour later.
The best idea, in my opinion, is to remove the station at King, and put a station on Townsend, preferably on the East side of Townsend. This means that the Caltrain transfer for a pedestrian is simply a walk across one lane of 4th Street, much much safer and more direct. It also leaves a fairly close transfer to the N Judah - of course that transfer is not super valuable but it should exist.
Of course, this means that the station would be one block away from a current station - which doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? But if you take a step back, the current station merely exists where it is because it is the transfer spot to Caltrain! If the line were being designed as a whole, from the Bayview to Chinatown, there would not be a station on the East of King, the station would be just East of Townsend. The best play is to *remove* the station at King in favor of one at Townsend.
This would make the transfer much safer for pedestrians, quicker and more reliable, and removes one station from the line. The VTA Light Rail in Santa Clara County is very frustrating to ride exactly because it has too many stations. The station at Brannan adds very little except to add to the end to end runtime for the T/CS line, which decreases reliability and overall attractiveness to the rider. The only "loser" from a removal of the King Street station might be a rider coming from the South headed to Caltrain, who know has to endure the crossing of King before heading to the train - but the population center to the South of that stop is centered around ... the 22nd Street Caltrain station.

Score is 1,163 points away from his next flyball title...his Flyball Master title...and with the next tourney (in two weeks)...a 2 1/2 days of racing for him...he's almost sure to get it there.
Wow...seems like he just started racing, and now he's almost at the 5,000 point mark!
(and Miss Inara is due for her Flyball Dog Grand Champion title (FDGCh) at the same tourney...30,000 points.)

Chef David Schuttenberg joins The Daily with a dinner residency every Friday and Saturday night from 6pm to 12am with his new Sichuan concept Kwei Fei.
With a fondness for and background in Asian cuisine, Schuttenberg's menu at Kwei Fei will serve lively, Sichuan leaning dishes featuring carefully sourced ingredients, local vegetables, meats, noodles, rice, and of course, chilies. Though known for spice and heat, Sichuan cuisine relies heavily on a balance of flavors; sweet, sour, hot, bitter, and fragrant.
The tightly focused menu will change regularly, occasionally feature special guests, and and will highlight both smaller and entree sized dishes meant for sharing, alongside beer, wine and featured cocktails, all available a la carte, first come first served.

Spot or Not: The Randall Gap
By Jason Hudson
This gap is located in Wilmington, NC off the Randall Parkway (hence the creative name.) A dam for a drainage reservoir, it offers consequence and thrills for all who attend. If it the 8ft drop doesn't kill you, then rest assured it will be the giant concrete slab positioned perfectly in your landing area. Don't be scared, you can clear it the slab and when you do the depth goes from a bone breaking two inches deep to a perfectly manageable ten inches.
As the sun sets it lights up this place nicely, but if it hasn't rained in a while you might find yourself dry. But at least the low water level will reveal the rebar and boulders that should probably be avoided.
To get here, just turn off the parkway, drive down a short dirt road and jump a jankety fence and your there! There is a great spot to park your winch and a great viewing area along the fence for spectators. The neighbors around don't seem to mind the commotion, so you don't have to worry about sweet talking anyone while you're there.
Recently a bunch of the fellers from Aussie Island came out to try their luck at Randall Roulette. Nick Joseph, Ronnie Anderson, Clay Martin and Fabian Ashley threw down until the sun set behind the kudzoo infested forrest that is slowly eating the spot. A few hours and some great shots later that got what they came for: a few minutes in Aussie Island's team video No Name Losers and nearly killing a photographer (thanks Fabian.)
If you come out this way make sure you get your tetanus shot and bring plenty of antibiotics. The water is not the least bit clean, but that doesn't seem to bother the family of gators that live nearby. Then again, I think they may be smart enough not to go near it. In all seriousness, it is a tough start, you're going to have to swim out against a mild current to get enough starting room, make sure you've got some pretty good speed to get over the shelf and clear the slab. Keep your feet underneath you, or you might find yourself face down in some mud resembling something that grows on the food in the back of my fridge. If you can avoid all the factors of a probable demise, then the shots will be oh, so nice. While you're here in Wilmington, don't forget to stop by Aussie Island Surf Shop to pick up your copy of No Name Losers and tell us how you survived The Randall Gap.

Nissan has put a huge emphasis on innovation and progression, from their road cars to the racetrack. With the first lap of DeltaWing being a groundbreaking moment for the Nissan team, they teamed up with a new startup, Vyclone, who released an iPhone app that stitches videos together from different users.
With the first ever lap of the DeltaWing taking place at the Le Mans 24 Hour race on the 8.5 mile La Sarthe Circuit in France, Vyclone's new app enabled 16 crowd-sourced videos to be automatically stitched from different track locations to create seamless coverage of the DeltaWing. Sure, it's no hi-def GoPro video, but as far as event coverage goes, Vyclone's software is undeniably innovative, and with a unique beast like the DeltaWing, such collaboration is more than appropriate. Crowd-sourced video should be raw and authentic, and Nissan's result is prime example.
David Parkinson, General Manager of Social & Digital Engagement, Nissan in Europe, said: "Nissan put a huge amount behind its Le Mans campaign this year, more so than ever before. Nissan's Le Mans was all about innovation, new technology and bringing to life the excitement and passion of the race for the fans."

Incipio dermaSHOT case for iPad is high-density silicone protection in black, pink, green, or blue. As a bonus, it's designed to protect your precious iPad without collecting excess and annoying lint.
It's not the thinnest skin in the store but the thickness does provide extra protection against those little bumps and scrapes that would otherwise impact the device. (Except for the area directly over the Apple logo on the back -- that's left thin and translucent of course...)
The incipio dermaSHOT case for iPad includes a screen protector and is available now from the TiPb iPad accessory store.
- Nice feel
- Good protection for a skin
- Includes screen protector
- Edge flashing not well trimmed

Well, I'm out of rehab (again), and my rash has cleared up, so I think it's time for another semester of my acclaimed adult education program, The Learning Bush. This time, to ensure quality and keep costs down, I'm teaching all the courses myself. Here's the list.
• Minimalist dancing: For the rhythmically challenged. You just stand still and move your face.
• Cooking class: We teach you to cook chicken for 30 minutes, depending on how big your breasts are (chicken breasts, that is).
• How to make your own champagne: When you finish the course, you can call yourself a "fizzacist."
• Build your own drone: Are you feuding with a crazy neighbor? Take this course, and you'll be able to fly your drone over the neighbor's yard and take out his tool shed with a pre-emptive Predator missile strike. That ought to quiet things down.
• How to overcome your neuroses: My cousin Tom helps me teach this course. He is an agoraphobic homosexual, so he had a great deal of difficulty coming out of the closet.
• How to overcome youthful mistakes: My own mistakes have helped me teach this course. For example, when I was 17 I got my girlfriend pregnant. I did this by introducing her to a great-looking, charming, athletic stud.
• Learn to know yourself: My dad's experience helped me with this one. For many years we all thought he was a hunchback, but it turned out he just did not know his suspenders were adjustable.
• How to get the most out of your time: I will admit I am probably not the best person to teach this course. I'm so lazy, I have had a Lazy-Boy chair for three years, and I have not put it together yet.
• How to make people like you: I was inspired to create this course after an incident in a hotel. My wife ordered the complimentary breakfast, and the waiter who came up to the room with a plate of pancakes said, "You have great legs, lady!"
• How to invent something useful: I decided to teach this course after inventing something brilliant of my own. It's a bacon-flavored condom. It is sheer genius, but I have learned not to put one on when the dog is in the room.
• How to get rid of bedbugs: This one is easy. The way to get rid of bedbugs is to stop sleeping with people you met on Craig's List.
• How to overcome adversity: My own background comes in really handy here. I was raised by wolves in the forest except for the one year when I studied at the Sorbonne in Paris.
• Learn to heckle: Everyone loves a good heckler. It livens things up. Any brainless bozo can yell, "You suck," but this course will teach you multi-syllabic zingers like "I heard you wanted to be alone with your thoughts, but they stood you up," or "I heard you were pulled over by a cop for DUI, and you said to him, 'Well, I've been drunker!'" and "You are so pathetic that when you go to Olive Garden I'll bet they give you 'limited' breadsticks!" or "You're so short that we can see your shoes on your driver's license photo!"
• How to avoid trouble with your neighbors: We teach you not to do stupid things like putting a bumper sticker on your car that says "My child is a Taliban honor student!"
And I tell about the guy who fell behind on his rent, so his landlord pulled down his pants and spanked him with a leather belt until he cried — which teaches that you should always read the fine print on your lease agreement.
• How to make it through a bad economy: The economy is still so bad that TV sitcoms are hiring real blondes just to save money on bleach. On the other hand, China has changed its one-child-only policy. Families are now allowed to have a second child — to work the night shift.
• Important questions answered: Finally, you get answers to questions you have often wondered about, like how come stealing from one book is plagiarism, but stealing from many books is research? Or how come we choose from just two people to be President but from 50 people to be Miss America? Or how come the United Nations is a place where governments who do not allow free speech in their countries demand to be heard?
• Inside country music: We teach students how to play country music songs backwards. If you play them backwards, they all say, "My girlfriend is back; my truck is now running, and my dog is alive."
OK, I've completely run out of ideas, but even if none of these classes interest you, there's always a chance you might meet someone cute in class, so sign up today.
P.S.: My "Deaf Awareness" course has been postponed because the teacher (myself) has laryngitis.

When X Factor starts you know it'll soon be getting dark at 4pm, but the real sign that Christmas is round the corner is when you first see the trucks come over the hill, and 'Holidays are comin'' bellow out of your TV. This is the way of things, so is it unwise of Coca-Cola to mess with the formula with a new ad? Read more

Last night was the annual Billboard Music Awards- which takes place every year in Las Vegas. Taylor Swift and Maroon 5 were both huge contestants, each nominated in 11 categories. What Lady Lux was concerned with, however, was what everyone was wearing! Award shows and big red carpets like the Billboard Music Awards are always great inspiration for us when styling our designer swimwear as well as picking out which styles are on trend. We saw a few trends we loved- from jewel tones to summer hues, the red (or actually blue) carpet was full of some great styles, as well as some not so great… Here are a few of our favorites.
Taylor Swift has recently been nailing red carpet after red carpet. She's blossomed from a conservative teenager into a sexy starlet. Lately she's been wearing shorter hems, lower necklines, and sexy cutouts- all of which are done tastefully, of course, and not all at once… Last night she rocked a royal blue micro mini dress which showed off the singers best asset- her statuesque legs. We absolutely loved the sapphire blue color of the dress, which gave us inspiration for other similar jewel tones such as the aquamarine Paradise bandeau, the amethyst purple of the Unforgettable bikini, and the pink sapphire color of the Pretty Young Thing bikini.
Black is a color that's considered a staple for many women's wardrobes. It's a color that can easily go from fab to drab- based on the cut of the style as well as how you accessorize it. Emmy Rossum looked amazing in her black, floor-length gown with the use of sexy cutouts with sheer paneling. Not only did the cutouts flatter and accentuate her shape, but they were done tastefully, without being too risque. Bikinis are the same way. Truly, Madly, Deeply and Pretty Young Thing are both classic black bikinis with a twist. Their gold hardware gives them an extra feeling of glamour- defining them as luxury swimwear.
Summer is fast approaching- which is one of the reasons we loved Renee Bargh's bright summer hue on her dress. The fun coral color coordinated perfectly with her glowing tan, which was made complete with her beachy waves. Still The One features not one, but two fun summer colors in a youthful tie-dye pattern. Other great summer-y options include Call On Me, which features tons of bright colors in a fun chevron pattern, as well as Melt Away, whose bright coral and turquoise colors get you in a playful mood for the season!
Other great starlets who displayed great style include Selena Gomez, Jennifer Morrison (who also rocked a sexy black dress with sheer paneling), and Jennifer Lopez. We can't wait for the next red carpet!

twistedbulbs necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 48 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
We are building a web2.0 interactive site driven by members - design will be web.20-ish look with great attention to lighting. Site will be linked with a large, all-natural pet food manufacturer so the logo will need to be polished, be virally intriguing/appealing and ready for live action in May. This is not a new concept so it's your chance to shine and stand out (brag) by making this concept/design stand out. To the best design goes the spoils! Plus more paid work for matching icons for the site and stationery, banner ads if you'd like to hang around and grow this with us. :)
Want the logo to be cutting edge, style with greating lighting and attention to detail - should be simple (the best logos are) but not something your cousin could do ;) - really hoping to see a fresh, stylish, new twist to pet community logos. That's what it will take to win this.
The community will be segmented for major categories of pet niches which means paw prints (which are way overused anyway) are out of the question. Niches are the the obvious dogs and cats, but also horses, reptiles, birds and fish - other may develop if the site gets viral. Not opposed to seeing a dog/cat blended into the design playing to the largest audience, but it cannot dominate.
What will win hands down?? Great but not overdone illustration, great color use/balance, great lighting (including reflection if it suits you), great fonts/integration and something we haven't seen on 20 other major pet community sites.
sampling of ideas to see styles/starting place:
- http://99designs.com/contests/555/e…/27795.jpg - interesting font
- http://99designs.com/contests/1036/…/65806.gif - nice illustration, supporting graphics
- http://99designs.com/contests/1182/…/69970.jpg - nice illustration, colors
- http://99designs.com/contests/1583/…/92506.jpg - great illustration and main font, great lighting use of reflection, fun colorsstart idea/concept: We've played with the idea of playing on the dig more than the pets - perhaps with a thumbs up which we can icon-ize in our interactive features like polls, ratings. Maybe a simple illustration of a couple/family with thumbs out and up??
tagline: we're interested in tagging the site "Because U(remove)Dig(remove)Pets(remove).(remove)com" - so I kind of envision because being integrated into the logo.
branding: would be a plus if there was a graphic element that could stand alone - say favicon, watermarks, etc.
format: typical vector ai/eps cmyk
undesirable traits
- flat
- paws

This applet shows the 6 elementary independency statements over 3 variables. The applet calculates which (elementary) independency statements are implied by the given set of imsets using a linear programming approach.
With the mouse button, the independency statements are selected. After the calculation, statements that can be falsified are red, the other orange. Only statements that are inactive (i.e. not white) are checked. This way, you can check for example that I(A,B|) & I(A,C|B) =/=> I(B,C|).
By clicking with the mouse on the independency statement, they become active (white) or inactive (black).

Justin Morneau started the scoring with a two-RBI double to centerfield for a 2-0 Twins lead in the first, followed by a Trevor Plouffe home run for a 4-0 lead. Pedro Florimon added an RBI single and Plouffe a sacrifice fly to cap the first inning scoring.
The Twins will finish their series with the Royals Sunday afternoon at Target Field.
