Considering the source on Snowden

Honestly, I'm rather tired of the Edward Snowden story but another slow news cycle and the main source of entertainment today seems to be arguing about him. Given that the Snowden saga has dragged on for so long, I suppose it was inevitable that his motives would come into question.

On that point I agree with Nate Silver's tweet from a few days ago:
@fivethrityeight: Journalists shouldn't care about whether sources are good people, but about whether the source's account is reliable and accurate.
That being said, I did find this hit piece on Snowden mildly interesting. He does of course have a history on the internets and was once an active poster on the Ars Technica site. The consensus there is Snowden was pretty much a collosal dick. There are a lot of quotes at the link, including one exchange where he suggests we should let all the olds die rather than suck up our limited resources but this bit struck me as even more significant.
“Fuck old people”? An objectivist view if ever there was one. The other issue is the Second Amendment:

User: the restrictions were made to appease the conservatives to get another bill passed. fucking cons.

SNOWDEN: See, that’s why I’m goddamned glad for the second amendment. Me and all my lunatic, gun-toting NRA compatriots would be on the steps of Congress before the C-Span feed finished.
Not sure what to make of that but it's not shouting thoughtful concerned citizen to me.

In any event, whatever his motives are, while I remain grateful Snowden resurrected the objections to the surveillance state, if his goal really was to curtail it, and not simple attention seeking, he's utterly failed in that mission. All he appears to have accomplished at this point is to further polarize the debate.

He did himself no favors by running off to China and Russia.

I remain surprised at how poorly he planned for the aftermath of going public.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated India’s longest rail-cum-road bridge in Eastern Assam, cutting distance and time for civilians and the military to travel up close to the Chinese border through Arunachal Pradesh.

Aside from being a mega infrastructure project costing the nation close to Rs 6000 crore, the Bogibeel bridge, connecting Assam’s Dibrugarh and Dhemaji districts over the mighty Brahmaputra, has given India a massive strategic edge in so far as enhancing the capability to move troops and military hardware to the frontier in case of a necessity.

It was a historic moment as Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the country’s longest rail-cum-road bridge over the mighty Brahmaputra in Eastern Assam, it was the transformation to reality of a 21-year-old dream.

The inauguration of construction of the bridge started back in 2002, hence, as a tribute to the former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the historic bridge, dedicated to the nation, was inaugurated on the occasion of his 94th birth anniversary.

Prime Minister Modi who had arrived at the Mohanbari Airport in Dibrugarh at around 1:30 pm for the inauguration, took a chopper ride to the South Bank of the bridge in Dibrugarh.

PM Modi and his convoy then made their way to the south entrance of the bridge where he did the ceremonial ribbon cutting to formally inaugurate the bridge.

Modi BogibeelThe inauguration brought to end a long wait for the people of Assam and the nation. Living up to the occasion Prime Minister Modi in a unique gesture took a walk along the bridge leaving his convoy behind to greet the thousands who had gathered to get a glimpse of the PM.

Modi also drove along the bridge waving the gamocha all along as he made his way to the North Bank of the bridge at Kareng Chapori where he addressed a gathering besides falling off the Tinsukia-Naharlagun intercity express, the first train to cross the bridge after its inauguration.

In his address at Kareng Chapori in Dhemaji, PM congratulated the people of Assam on completion of the bridge even as he termed it as the lifeline for the region.

The 4.9 km long Bogibeel bridge, which is a double decker bridge with a two line rail track on lower deck and a three-lane road on the upper deck, is of great strategic significance from the defence perspective as it would drastically cut down the time taken for the movement of military troops and hardware to the frontier areas of Arunachal Pradesh along the India-China border.

No wonder, the Prime Minister laid so much significance on its inauguration. At a time when Chinese incursions are too frequent to be ignored, the Bogibeel bridge gives India the edge when compared to the past.

The bridge also significantly reduces travel time between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh giving a big boost to connectivity in the region.

It may be mentioned here that the Bogibeel project was part of the 1985 Assam Accord. The foundation stone of the bridge was laid almost 21 years ago by former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda on January 22, 1997.

On April 21, 2002, former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee inaugurated the construction work of the mega project.

Situated 17-kilometers downstream of Dibrugarh town, the Bogibeel bridge is the fourth bridge over the Brahmaputra that will connect Dibrugarh and Dhemaji districts. The bridge has a serviceable period of around 120 years.

It is India’s only fully-welded bridge for which European codes and welding standards were adhered to for the first time in the country. For the first time in Indian Railways, the girder has steel floor system for railway tracks and concrete for road.

Family Contracts Help Improve Behavior

A family contract supports purposeful parenting as opposed to emotional reactive parenting. If a parent can recognize what is occurring in the moment, they won’t be as reactive. The family contract provides a framework for expectations and consequences; in effect there is less talking, arguing, and manipulation that occurs.

First, identify patterns of behavior. What behaviors do you want to improve? Keep it simple, state the expected behavior, and limit the behaviors you want to address to no more than five. Second, identify and strategize obstacles to following the family contract. Remember, aligned parenting creates expectations that increase consistency and structure. After behaviors and obstacles have been identified, seek childrens’ input for the types of privileges they would like to earn.

Sample Family Contract:

1. Attend School
2. Be ready at 7:00
3. Clean Room
4. Homework
5. Chores

Cell phone privilege
Go out on Friday night
Have a friend over
1 hour of screen time

With a family contract, things are not taken away, they are earned. Everything is earned.
Have both daily and weekly privileges on the contract to teach both immediate and delayed gratification. There will be times your child does not earn a privilege when your child does not fulfill an expectation.

Strategies for Parents:

The Family Contract is a framework for expectations and privileges. We are increasing self-awareness, while avoiding enabling our children. Not everything or situation can be fixed; during those moments we need to sit with our own discomfort and know that it is okay if we are not able to fix everything. Create a home environment that fosters structure and consistency. Communicate effectively and avoid mixed messages. Recognize patterns that contribute to child’s anxiety. When in doubt of what to say, don’t say anything.

Emotional and Cognitive Development:
Parents should consider emotional development stage when formulating expectations. Where is your child? How do you parent? How do you grow with them emotionally as they age?

Verbal Communication:
Provide child with choices. Use language such as “It is your choice” vs. “You have to.” Use language that is purposeful, and look for opportunities for your child to work through uncomfortable feelings. Use language such as “What do you think you could do,” vs. “You’ll be ok.” Remember, less is more when it comes to verbal communication.

Sony HT-CT370S View or download the device manual Sony HT-CT370S

User manual Sony HT-CT370S - have you ever lost it? If you are here, it was rather the case. However, you are not the only person having problems with keeping the operation manual of all household devices. Below are few guidelines regarding how and why you should collect the product manuals.

User manual Sony HT-CT370S is a certain type of technical documentation being an integral element of any device we purchase. These differ from each other with the amount of information we can find on a given device: e.g. Sony HT-CT370S. Obviously, if a manufacturer considers appropriate to provide us with higher amount of information regarding the device Sony HT-CT370S, then we should read it at least once – right after purchase of a given object. However, we believe that the manuals should include the most important and needed information about Sony HT-CT370S, not to discourage the user to read. Obviously, if a device Sony HT-CT370S has multiple advanced functions, we will not avoid a high amount of information in this document.

Which information in the manual Sony HT-CT370S should be read?

How to keep the manual at home?

A good idea is to use a drawer where the manual will be kept Sony HT-CT370S and any other household devices you use. Then, it will be much easier to find it than look through the purchase boxes which have already been thrown away by you or any other of household members. It will be enough to clear the drawer once in a year and throw away any manuals of the devices you do not use anymore. Thus, you can avoid storing any unnecessary documents and keep only those which are valid. You can also download and print the manual Sony HT-CT370S to place it in your drawer.

Let Me Hint Louder

Because I didn’t marry until I was forty, I missed an important little fact about men.

(Of course it is possible that missing this lesson was one reason why I didn’t marry until forty.)

It’s intuition. Men have none.  They have no sense of ‘sense’.

When I was a little girl, communication with my mother and my two sisters was almost telepathic. We always knew how each one of us felt. Every nuance was so easily interpreted. A wave of the hand explained a bad day at school. Sitting down to homework right after school signified a fight with a friend. Sharing a candy bar – obvious guilt.

As I got older, I found most women could accurately read all little gestures and subtexts.

Marian would say “I love this song.”

And Patty would say “When did you and Kevin break up?”

I’d say to a Barbe, “I think Jane Fonda should get an Oscar for ‘Klute’.”

And she’d say, “Yeah, your hair would look cute like that.”

I didn’t realize that men had no such ability. I figured my father was just being deliberately obtuse.

I had a little brother. But having a little brother is sort of like having a pet. You have to take care of him once in a while, and sometimes you play with him.  But mostly he’s just there.

I went through high school and college wondering why boys just didn’t understand.

It took me several years of marriage to finally realize:  Men really DON’T understand. They don’t get ‘subtle’. They don’t get ‘hint’.

You have to tell men stuff as CLEARLY as possible.

You don’t say, “Gee, the trash can is getting full.”

You say, “Stop what you’re doing right now please and come and take out the trash right now please.”

You don’t say, “Michelle’s earrings were pretty.”

You say, “I want pearl earrings for Christmas. I want 3.5mm studs with white gold posts, not yellow gold. They have some at Becker’s, and I’ve written down the sku number for you here, with directions to the store.”

And sometimes, even when you are being pretty clear, they think you are too subtle.

Friday, we were going out and my husband asked me if he needed a coat.

I said, “It’s in the high thirties.”

He said, “But do I need a coat?”

It seems that after twenty years of marriage I would have learned.

NEVER hint.

But I guess I just can’t give up.

This weekend, halfway through the vacuuming, I sat down to take a break.

“I’m so bored with housework,” I said to my husband. “I just don’t want to do it anymore.”

“Don’t worry about it,” he said. “You can always finish it up tomorrow.”

Getting ready to drop a little hint.

  1. Best drawing ever!!

    • Thanks. It was very cathartic to draw it.

  2. Talk to me...I'm your Mother

    Perfect post. I get it…but then, I’m a woman!

  3. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Awesome post, and the illustration just puts it over the top!

  4. bigsheepcommunications

    Oh yes, been there (in fact, I live there)…

  5. I have tears rolling down my face (they are from laughter)…thank you.

  6. JSD

    This is great…so, so true. If we learned it early, it would save a lot of relationships…or end them before we got too far into them.

  7. karen

    So perfect!

  8. So true and yet I still try subtlety once and a while. After thirty years, it rarely works.

  9. This is so funny and so “right on!” You have painted an accurate picture of my husband, and the drawing at the end is priceless.

  10. hahahaha oh yes. I started sending my now-hub pictures of the type of engagement ring I wanted about a year before he actually proposed. You can’t beat around the bush. Especially not when it comes to jewelry.

  11. I love the drawing – you made me roar with laughter! Sometimes you just have to talk to them by hand…

  12. Loved it! It describes almost all the marriages I know.

  13. spot ON, as usual. and, i agree with speaker 7 on the drawing.

  14. Sounds like my house. I need to include details on a grocery list. Great post.

  15. Great post. Except for the fact that I realized that my husband will NEVER wash out my travel mug with the rest of the dishes no matter how many times I leave it in the sink with the top off. I will need to put a post it on top.

  16. Chris

    There was a “Cathy” cartoon where she told a guy “I don’t want to go out with you ever ever EVER again” – or words to that effect. He replied “you’re just playing hard to get”. I was really tempted to do that once when my saying I was “sick” or “busy” every day for two weeks just wasn’t doing it.

  17. Something I’ve noticed is that all the comments are written by women. Maybe some men can’t understand this post because even when women are being ‘direct’ they are too subtle for them!

    Wonderful post, and so very true!

  18. Yup! Zac is the same way, though I think he may be learning.

    I constantly talk about how the electricity bills can get really high if we leave the lights on when we are not using them. He does not do well turning off lights. He usually gives me this blank look.

    At least he turns them off if I ask directly.

  19. But, don’t you still wish he would know what you want, just once?
    My sisters and I played the game “Pictionary” with our husbands. Each drawing could be guessed correctly with a simple straight line or two. We all just knew what the other was doing, with no verbal hints. Our husbands were in awe. They couldn’t figure out complete schematic drawings with written explanations.

  20. I’m a little late reading this, but you’ve started my day with a laugh! Too funny — and oh, so true!

  21. This made me laugh OUT LOUD! You are so absolutely right. I remember when I was a newlywed, I didn’t understand why my husband didn’t automatically do things the way my daddy did. My mother said it took extensive training. And then she told me you have to spell everything out for them if you want something because they cannot extrapolate.

    • I’ve tried Training. After twenty years of marriage, he stopped saying, “What did you do to your hair?” – I figure that’s enough.

  22. I recognize the logic of husbands. Very funny. Wha ?

  23. Words, wonderful words. Evidently our minds are not an open book and never will be for the men in our lives.

  24. The fact that you weren’t writing this post from a prison cell shows how much restraint you exercised.

  25. LOL! I’m still not convinced that they aren’t just pretending to be dense.

  26. It’s hard to say. I vacillate between thinking he is really that dense and that it is all part of an evil plan to drive me crazy one day at a time. It’s worse when he is alone with the kids. Some quotables:

    “I didn’t know I shouldn’t let squeeze their paints on our dishes. Won’t it wash off?”
    “I didn’t know if you wanted them to wear coats [in February] so… *shrugs*”
    [calling me on my mobile from the home phone, mere feet away from where our refrigerator lives] “Do you know if we have milk?”

    • He called me at work once to ask, “Are the dishes in the dishwasher clean?”

  27. Loved this post. The drawing is fantastic.

  28. Red

    I have no doubt why every year the male unit gets Qtips.

    PS No, they do not help him, but they make me feel better.

  29. I can’t believe I haven’t been following you! That has been corrected. 🙂

    • Thanks… I never miss your posts – my kind of humor and enviable artwork!

Braden Holtby Arrives in Vegas

Photo: @Capitals

Viva Las Vegas! We have arrived at the most anticipated time of the offseason. In less than 24 hours we will know the roster of the NHL’s newest franchise. In addition, the best scorer, the best goaltender, the best defender, the best coach, and many more will be recognized tomorrow night as part of the annual NHL Awards Show. For the Washington Capitals, Braden Holtby will look to win his second consecutive Vezina Trophy

After Holtby landed in Vegas Tuesday afternoon, it was time to go shopping for some fresh new threads. Last year, he looked good and this year he was back at the same place looking for a wardrobe upgrade. He went to John Varvatos over at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Then it was off to T-Mobile Arena for media day.

Holtby was asked a variety of questions.
On the expansion draft:
“It’ll be a lot of fun to see. As far as a live show and such, it’ll be very unique.”

On losing a teammate to Vegas tomorrow:
“Hopefully whoever is taken gets a great opportunity”

On being back in Vegas after winning the Vezina trophy last year and getting an opportunity to repeat:
“You never want to be a one-hit wonder type of person, you want to get better every year. The team that we’ve had as a whole obviously helped get me here. It’s hard to get here without a team that’s gonna help you as a goalie. It is a huge honor to be here. I’m going to soak it in and enjoy the spectacle.”

The stage is set for tomorrow night.

A Magazine for

Peace in the Park

In spring 2018, people have again started talking about World War Three. Trump, May and Macron started bombing in Syria, without a democratic vote and before chemical weapons inspectors could arrive. Blair popped up to commentate from the sidelines, the ghost of illegal wars past, reminding us of lies about non-existent weapons of mass destruction. People are right to be horrified. The world is again and again brutalised by war. Standing up for peace is important. It was 2003 when Iraq was invaded, even after millions marched in opposition. Sheffield sent coach-loads to London. We were right to protest, even though the warmongers ignored us. Sheffield’s Peace in the Park Festival sprang into life that year as a beautiful message from our city, to the world and the next generation, that war is not wanted. This year Peace in the Park happens on Saturday 9 June, 12-8pm at Ponderosa Park. The massive line-up of performers, all giving their time voluntarily, is spread over five stages. A Reggae Tent joins the list this year. There will be a Sheffield Stage for local bands, a World Music Stage and a Blues Stage, alongside regular favourite, the Cabaret Tent. The list of stalls and musicians is over-booked long in advance, which shows just how popular it is. ‘Patches for Peace’ produced during the year's craft workshops will be on display. The Environmental Area will be joined by a Climate Action Zone this time, drawing attention to the crucial health of our planet. The Children’s Area, open till 6pm, and numerous crafts, activities and the Healing Area, will be chilling people out. The festival’s funding has been secured this year thanks to its first ever Lottery grant, along with a series of benefit gigs. One of these, at Yellow Arch Studios, raised a stonking £3,000. Attendees may not realise that a series of work experience and training opportunities are available with the festival, from music industry skills to events management. Year round, there’s youth and community cohesion collaboration with Zest in Upperthorpe. For updates as the big day approaches, tune in to the Peace in the Park programme on Sheffield Live! FM, 5pm on Fridays or by podcast. On the day, 40 stewards are needed, so if you can offer time then get in touch. Sheffield has a long and proud history of anti-militarism. Peace and justice matter to people in our city. Only in Sheffield can you hear Latino Times broadcaster Mauricio Sirvent on Sheffield Live FM signing off with, “Love one another, and free Palestine.” If you’re not already on board, join the anti-war movement.

Show recap for Thursday 2/20/2014

Hey guys (and girls, presumably) it’s me again, Jenni, and yeah, I know this is like the fourth time that you’re hearing from me this week and you’re probably sick and tired of this shit already, but this is the last you’ll have to deal with until my life goes back to normal and I can just chill on my regular Thursday time slot and get back to not bothering you all that much. I can commiserate if you’re having a ‘sick of this bitch’ episode, because frankly- I’m sick and miserable and have been complaining and whiny all day and even I’m sick of me. Joe is…a fucking saint. How he spends so much time with me (read 24/7- we work and live together) and doesn’t want to kill me and only laughs when I say no to absolutely everything because I’m feeling so miserable is completely beyond me. And I don’t just say no in a regular way. I make these weird meowishbunny ‘no’ sounds. So yeah. That’s what he deals with when I’m sick on top of the following conversation today:
“Hunny, I don’t know if I’m going to sneeze or projectile vomit.”
“Sounds exciting.”
“Seriously, though. And no…it’s not exciting at all.” I’m probably tinged green at this point.
“Well, if there’s even a chance that it’s going to be vomit, how about we go to the bathroom?” And then he takes me inside (thankfully we were working at a public place and not someone’s house) where I proceed to sneeze. And then puke. Then he told me to sleep in the truck and only occasionally threw boxes at me off of rooftops. Yeah…even including this in the recap is completely unnecessary, and I don’t usually whine, but I am full-on in whine mode. I’m sorry.

Getting to what you actually came here for- when I started TJES on my app it came in in the middle of Ellis saying a sentence and he was talking about his special voice and people complaining about songs and is his voice just so special that even though people hate the music they stick around? So I’m assuming that he was talking about people complaining about the music that gets played on Faction/gets played by Ellis on Faction…and well…shut the fuck up, you guys…cause I don’t care. And my opinion almost matters sometimes. He then goes right into talking about the Reddit Ask Me Anything that he participated in this morning/afternoon (depending on your time zone) that he did with the help of Tully since Ellis isn’t that great at reading or typing, and said that they answered the hard questions. But, really, though, he did answer all of the questions that he could, but I don’t think he considered any of them hard because he went on to say that there is nothing that he can be asked that would ‘shake him up’ because he’s already said it. It’s already out there. Which, if you are a listener of the show on the reg, you already know. I checked out the AMA and it was pretty interesting, and a couple of things struck me as funny, and if you’re interested in knowing what went on you can go here and check it out. While talking about the Reddit thing Tully mentions that he has a typing-related injury (probably) that he needs to get taken care of called Dupuytren’s Disease that can be corrected with surgery and he’s been looking for a window to get it taken care of. He says that it’s been bothering him more from typing up The Awesome Guide to Life and he definitely felt himself ‘clawing’ up while he was doing the typing for Jason on Reddit this morning. Ellis, ever the caring ManBossFriend that he is gave Tully full permission to get it taken care of right now and to forgo any and all emails for the next two weeks, unless he wants to do them from his phone with the other hand. Problem solved.

Speaking of problems and music and faction and people complaining and people complaining about music…Tully asks Will, “Wasn’t it about two weeks ago that you said in two weeks you would have those results from the Faction Board of Directors to go over with us?” He asks it in his oh-so-Tully way of knowing that it was totally 2 weeks ago while trying to maintain that boyish, ‘but I could be wrong about that’ that is making me hate him because the last thing I want to recap is more Board of Directors bullshit because it stopped being funny for me about a month and a half ago. Or right now (which is more likely) because I’m supercranky. And yeah, Will says that it was about two weeks ago, but no he doesn’t have the information ready to go over with them because it’s taking longer than he thought that it would because he has the big bosses that he has to answer to and has to wait for them to ‘okay’ the changes. How long will it be before we get to hear anything more about this? Probably another two weeks- and guys…shotty not if it happens on a Thursday- unless something completely epic happens during that time I will gloss over that shit like it never happened. But, some good does come out of Will popping into the studio to talk about the Board of Directors and surveys and such…and that good is…more HateBean songs. Will fires off some quick lines for HateBean songs and everyone gets a good laugh, especially because Will tries to do an ‘in da club’ song, and if there is one thing that man should never do- it’s try to rap. Just say no, Will. Ellis talks about how if they turn the HateBean songs into ringtones and sell them they will become bajillionaires, and also probably get people to answer their phones really quickly in public because he doesn’t know how many people will be showing off their HateBean ringtones among strangers.

Will goes back to doing whatever work he pretends to do when he isn’t on air and the subject turns to Ellismania X. Or Ellismania 10. Or EM10. The big one. The hall of fame one. The one that is going to be the shit and a half and I’m already scared that Hubbs and I are going to be wayyyyyyyyyy too poor to go to unless it magically winds up on the East Coast somewhere. Ellis and Tully start tossing names around for possible people that Ellis could fight for the main event in Ellismania 10 and A LOT of names get thrown out there by Ellis, Tully, and Ellisfam (by calls and tweets) and they fall into one of several categories: Not Going To Happen (But It Would Be Awesome), Ellis Would Die, Ellis Would Kill That Guy, Are You Insane, and Maybe. Some of the ‘Not Going To Happen (But It Would Be Awesome) include- Adam Corolla, Chris Liebman, Joe Rogan, Steven Segal, and Ken Block. Some of the ‘Ellis Would Die’ are- Forrest Griffin, Jason Mamoa, Don Fry, and possibly Mike Dolce. Guys That ‘Ellis Would Kill’ and doesn’t want to fight because they aren’t real fighters are- Carrot Top and Steven Segal (yeah, I know that he’s in more than one category). The ‘Are You Insane’ contenders include- Sugar Ray Leonard (seriously? He’s gone old man crazy if he accepts the fight at all), Evander Holifield, Kimbo Slice, Miesha Tate, and Tank Abbott. The one and only maybe that came out of the super long on air brain jam was from a caller whose name was either not given or I completely missed and it was Michael Jai White. Yeah, no one knew who he was either, but he’s an actor (He was Spawn in Spawn) and Ellis said that he would totally take that fight if it would happen. Tully suggests that it would be funny if Ellis fought both of the guys from Insane Clown Posse, but backtracks quickly because no one wants the crowd at the epic EM10 to be half Juggalo. No offense. Oh shit…another maybe was M Shadows. Ellis would fight M Shadows if he decides to take on a bunch of people because that would be sweet. They talk about how Ellismania 10 is going to be big and bad because, of course, it kind of has to be, how they are going to do the Ellismania Hall of Fame, fighting Dr. Drew, and then they talk about who Tully might fight. Is there gonna be a Michael Tully/Bob Levy rematch? Probably not…but Tully will work on getting beef with somebody real quick so there’s some backstory his fight can go on.

Back from the break, Tully reminds us that tomorrow is Chad Reed day and to celebrate they will be doing all sorts of Chad Reed related things on the show tomorrow. If you want in on the action as a listener, you can choose to either compose yourself a poem about the Great Chad Reed which you can try to call and read on air, or go the easy route and email that poem to the guys at the show at Easy peasy. Make it good!

Christian is in the studio back from the break and Tully informs both him and Ellis that there is an app available that allows you to keep track of how long you have sex. Which, seems pretty useless, but whatever, and that the people who made the app used it to figure out where each of the 50 US states rank in the amount of time people spend in the sack per the average session. Ellis isn’t too keen on this whole idea because he thinks it’s dumb and it’s probably a skewed perspective because obviously not everyone having sex is using this app and yaddayaddayadda, but also because Mark McGrath and Tara Beaulieu made him feel weird about his sex life since they didn’t believe him when he said that he has sex 4 to 5 times per day (on average). Before letting us know the results Tully makes a statement that he was most surprised about what the actual average times were. The number one state was New Mexico which came in at a whopping 7 minutes and 1 second and the (I guess) loser was the state of Alaska which ticked in a measly 1 minute and 21 seconds. Christian made a joke about that not being too surprising because you don’t hear that Alaska is the home to all of the great lovers or anything like that…and then Hubbs made a joke about Katie being from Alaska and I laughed. Boom. They start talking about how Ellis probably only has sex two or three times a day if ‘sex’ counts as when he cums, which is still pretty impressive and I still give him hi-fives, because that’s on average and not all that far from his prior 4 to 5 times per day assertion. They then start talking about how they don’t think a lot of women are able to orgasm in a minute and a half and that’s when I go- no wonder so many women walk around in constant BitchFace, because even the top of the list was only barely 7 minutes. I’d be all bitch in the face too!!! This turns the conversation to women who can’t have vaginal orgasms and only orgasm as a result of clitoral stimulation and Tully digging into his memory banks to say that he’s never had an extended sexual relationship with a woman who was unable to have a vaginal orgasm, so maybe the statistic of it being over 50% who can’t is a little high. Either that or he is seriously bad at feeling out a fake female orgasm.

It’s that semi-annualish time of year again! Time to go through the top contenders that the guys have received for Unsigned Bands! Here is my really bad recap of their unsigned bands segment. They play 12 songs by 12 different bands all in varying degrees of suck and make some funny comments about the varying degrees of suck. Ellis tells everyone that they shouldn’t give up on their dreams, because you never know, unless they are old because then they probably know and just need to be told to go get an education and get a real job cause that shit is just not gonna happen. They have the intern Hardcore come in to listen to some of the songs with them because he is a contrary and Hardcore fellow, but he is young and they guys are trying to stay in touch with the young blood- even if it’s only to tell the young blood that they have shitty taste in music. I guess I count as part of the young blood (though most likely on the brisk of young blood and regular ol’ blood) and I will admit that I have shitty taste in music. I mean, I don’t heart the Biebs or anything, but, I tend to love shitty poppy music, and even I could tell that most of this was just terrible. Lot of bad production, lot of just…terrible instrumental/vocal match-ups, things like that, but they whittled it down to a face off between two bands. Ellis and Christan came down on the side of a band called 610 Connecter while Tully and Hardcore were rooting for an Emo/Skatish sounding band called Abandon All Hope. They put it to the callers and at first 610 Connecter took the early lead, but by the end Abandon All Hope won in the landslide. Throughout the segment the guys had some fun playing with mustache wax and Hardcore the Intern (who really is a contrary individual the likes of which haven’t been seen since that of Mary Mary) and I feel like there might have been a bit of bonding that happened. I don’t think their view of Hardcore or Hardcore’s view of them has changed at all…but…some accepting hatred may have occurred. Just saying.

Back from the break it’s time for a game that was devised by Will, but probably more likely was the brainchild of Betsy because her name gets mentioned later on and she has a great mind for bits for the show. The game is basically a ‘How Well Do You Know Ellis?’ trivia game that is played by Tully, Jetta, Kevin, Christian, and Ellis (to see if he remembers the answers that he gave Will this morning before the AMA) and the winner of it gets to be Ellis’ best friend forever, so it’s a prize that everyone reallyreallyreally wants. I’ve been trying to think of the best way to recap this game since I listened to it and took notes on it and I’m rather stumped to be honest. It was 21 questions plus a bonus question and then there were 5 people answering and I feel like listing all of the questions and all of the answers would take up soooooooo much space. But…I’m at a loss. Seriously…a loss. I just asked Hubbs (see…a motherfucking saint, I tell you) so I’m going to write out the question, the answer, and who got it right.
1. Q: What is Jason’s favorite food in the whole entire world? A: Chocolate
Right: Ellis
2. Q: If Jason were a carpenter, what would he build himself first? A: Yer mum’s house to fuck her in    Right: Ellis
3. If Jason had another male child, what would his name be? A: Twins- Shark Fucker and Michael Jackson    Right: Ellis (Although Tully came close with Laser Fang)
4. What is Jason’s favorite music other than rock/metal? A: Hip-Hop
Right: Ellis, Tully, Kevin, and Christian
5. If he could live anywhere other than America or Australia where would it be? A: Fiji
Right: Ellis and Jetta (pretty sure, at least)
6. What is Jason’s favorite cuss word? A: Fuckin
Right: Tully and Kevin
7. How would Jason like to be buried? A: Viking Funeral
Right: Ellis and Tully
8: If Jason could have any pet, what would it be? A: Shark
Right: Ellis and Christian
9. If Jason could have any guest on his show, who would it be? A: President Obama
Right: Ellis
10. What is the most offensive jewelry a man can wear? A: Shell necklace
Right: Ellis and Tully (because he wrote the book on that…lol)
11. What does Jason think is nature’s perfect food? A: Bat Dung Coffee
Right: fucking nobody…haha
12. How much should a man spend on a first date? A: As much as it takes to get laid
Right: Ellis, Kevin, and Christian
13. What is something about men that women secretly hate? A: Farts
Right: Ellis
14. What is Jason’s favorite mixed drink? A: Rum and Pineapple
Right: Ellis and Kevin
15. What is the world’s greatest smell, according to Jason? A: His kid’s head
right: Ellis
16. What is something that annoys Ellis that people always assume about him? A: That he had sex with Sandra Bullock       Right: Ellis
17. What is the fairest fight between Ellis and an Animal? A: A Cheetah (cause he’s not runnin’ this is a fight, son)     Right: Ellis
18. If Ellis could pick one historical figure to hang out with, who would it be? A: Michael Jordan     Right: Ellis
19. What is Jason’s favorite color? A: Black
Right: Ellis, Kevin, and Christian
20. What is Jason’s lucky number? A: 1
Right: Ellis
21. Who is Jason’s hero? A: Jason Ellis
Right: Ellis and Christian
22. Who is Jason’s best friend? A: Katie
Right: Ellis and I think Christian got that right too
Christian came out the winner beating Tully by one measly point, proving to Mark McGrath once and for all, that not every game is skewed in Tully’s favor. The bonus question was a question that Will asked Rude Jude and had the guys answer. Will asked Jude what his favorite race is. Ellis guessed Spanish, Tully/Jetta/Kevin think that Jude is a White Supremacist, and Christian thought he leaned more toward the Asian Persuasion. They were all wrong. Jude’s favorite race is the hundred meter dash. Ba-dum-pshhhh. You know…that’s supposed to be the drumroll/cymbal thing after a joke. Tell me how you think it should be spelled.

Back from the last break it’s time to talk a little MMA and you may know that I am really bad at paying attention to this whole MMA thing because I’m really not into it unless I’m watching it. UFC 170 is this weekend…probably Saturday because that makes more sense than it being on Sunday and I feel like that’s usually when Hubbs and I would go out to watch it, and it’s a big card. One of the big fights is between Daniel Cormier and Patrick Durkin Cummins (and I know that only because I did the recap yesterday and had to google that shit once already) and the other fight is between Ronda Rousey and Sarah McMan (and I only remember her last name because Christian made a joke about how RR is sososososososososo hot and McMan sort of looks like a McMan). The favorites to win are Dormier and Rousey, respectively, and the guys decide to put a wager on it with some torture going to the loser. Tully and Cumtard each pick a girl, Tully going with the favorite Rousey and Cumtard stuck with McMan the underdog, and the loser has to drink a shot of their own urine. Ick. Actually…I drank pee once when I was little (because I was four and my sister was sort of evil back then) and it wasn’t enough to scar a four year old- so whatevs on that. For the second bet Ellis is backing Dormier to win over Cumtard’s Cummins (haha) and if Ellis loses he has to go on the Cumtardian’s podcast. If TardTard loses he gets to eat whatever he likes for 45 minutes (most likely some lobster tail) and then immediately has to take a big bite out of a raw onion. Because- of course, that’s why. Cumtard says that means on Monday he is going to be drinking his own pee and eating an onion, and it sure looks that way, but Tully says that he is rooting for Rousey to lose because he loves an underdog.

Final calls have sort of been happening since the guys came back from break and there are a lot of people talking about a lot of things and a lot of people getting shot and a couple of kids even call in to the show, for some reason. I’m going to skip all of that. There was one caller who called in and did not give his name, but he had some pretty devastating news: apparently his parents died in a car wreck earlier today and he was driving home to go deal with it. He said on the phone that he didn’t really have anyone to call and talk to about it, so he called Ellis and the guys because, well, Ellis is pretty good with all of this tough shit (as rough around the edges that he may be). He and Ellis talk for a while and Ellis tells him to drive extrasupersafe on his way home and that he’ll get through it, and yes, it will change his life but he should not let it destroy his life. And caller, if you are out there, if this ever crosses paths with you: I’m sure I speak for all of Ellisfam (except for that one dick who needs to have his toenails removed from his feet and forced into the walls of his anus after being barbed for his pleasure) when I say that our heart goes out to you, man. There is not much to be said so far as comfort, because…how can that be comforted? The only thing that will help with the pain will probably be time, but know that Ellisfam has your back. They’ve had my back for a while now, through some of my own tough times, and I’m sure everyone would do the same for you. Please don’t feel alone. Reach out to us here, on twitter, on instagram…we’re everywhere. Personally, I’m always good to listen. I kind of suck at talking…but I will listen and I will try and say the right thing, even if the only thing I say is “that’s shitty, I love you, hugs from far away”. Condolences, unknown caller, my heart is breaking for you.

What we learned on the show today:

I’m sick and cranky

Reddit with Ellisfam is a freewheeling conversation with your fingers

No disease will stop Tully from sending his emails

The guys got their hands on a Keytar

Kelly Slater would kick a shark’s ass in a fight and is also probably Aquaman

Don Fry has a mustache that is not to be fucked with

Ellis got Mustache Wax and a Mustache comb

Ellis is the ideal candidate for a slow poisoning by Jetta and Hardcore

Ellis’ 1st wife took forever to orgasm and it was the worst sex ever cause then she cried

Tully thought the point of sex was to make girls orgasm

Medical Marijuana may or may not help stop the spread of HIV, but it definitely helps cancer patients/terminally ill people eat food

The Raiders Cheerleaders are suing the Management for making them…be cheerleaders

Patrick Durkin Cummins was a Barista 3 days ago and may very be one again next week

Tully is gonna have a shitty weekend bc he and his wife are taking the pacifier away from LittleMan

LittleMan is not, in fact, a little man- he is a feral mutant sewer monkey belligerent idiot moron monkey junkie who doesn’t speak english

Final callers still suck and can’t stop dying

Psychological Services Providers
Who is a Psychologist?
A psychologist is an individual who is licensed to practice psychology which is defined as the observation, description, evaluation, interpretation, and modification of human behavior by the application of psychological principles, methods, and procedures, for the purpose of preventing or eliminating symptomatic, maladaptive, or undesired behavior and of enhancing interpersonal relationships, work and life adjustment, personal effectiveness, behavioral health, and mental health. The practice of psychology includes, but is not limited to, psychological testing and the evaluation or assessment of personal characteristics, such as intelligence, personality, abilities, interests, aptitudes, and neuropsychological functioning; counseling, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, hypnosis, biofeedback, and behavior analysis and therapy; diagnosis and treatment of mental and emotional disorder or disability, alcoholism and substance abuse, disorders of habit or conduct, as well as of the psychological aspects of physical illness, accident, injury, or disability; and psycheducational evaluation, therapy, remediation, and consultation. Psychological services may be rendered to individuals, families, groups and the public.

What is a NPI Number? : The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a unique identification number for covered health care providers. The NPI is a 10-position, intelligence-free numeric identifier (10-digit number). This means that the numbers do not carry other information about healthcare providers, such as the state in which they live or their medical specialty. The NPI must be used in lieu of legacy provider identifiers in the HIPAA standards transactions. Covered health care providers and all health plans and health care clearinghouses must use the NPIs in the administrative and financial transactions adopted under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

Where NPI should be used? : The NPI must be used in place of legacy provider identifiers, such as a Unique Provider Identification Number (UPIN), Online Survey Certification & Reporting (OSCAR) and National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC) in HIPAA standard transactions. There are two categories of health care providers for NPI enumeration purposes. Entity Type 1 providers are individual providers who render health care (e.g., physicians, dentists, nurses). Sole proprietors and sole proprietorships are Entity Type 1 (Individual) providers. Organization health care providers (e.g., hospitals, home health agencies, ambulance companies) are considered Entity Type 2 (Organization) providers.

Who must obtain NPI? : All health care providers who are HIPAA-covered entities, whether they are individuals (e.g., physicians, nurses, dentists, chiropractors, physical therapists, or pharmacists) or organizations (e.g., hospitals, home health agencies, clinics, nursing homes, residential treatment centers, laboratories, ambulance companies, group practices, Health Maintenance Organizations [HMOs], suppliers of durable medical equipment, pharmacies) must obtain an NPI. The NPI will be used by HIPAA-covered entities (e.g., health plans, health care clearinghouses, and certain health care providers) to identify health care providers in HIPAA standard transactions. A covered health care provider, under HIPAA, is any health care provider who transmits health information in electronic form in connection with a transaction for which the Secretary of Health and Human Services has adopted a standard, even if the health care provider uses a business associate to do so.

New Mainstore

Hello everyone!

It was faster than I thought it will be.
Wonderful news! Nuve joined forces with a few talented designers and moved to the shared region. Isn’t that wonderful?

Celebrate with us!
Visit our new MAINSTORE and receive 250L$ store credit one time reward by clicking the Reward terminal (exclusively for NUVE VIP GROUP members).

We also have new discount room on the 1st floor. Everything released before rebranding under the old Spicy brand is discounted by 30% permanently.

Rebranding to Nuve

As many of you know already, me and my managers were planning to rebrand Spicy.
And we thought we already had a name, but picking one turned out to be more difficult than we thought.
After hours and days of brainstorming, we finally have it.Spicy is closing. One thing must end, so something new can begin.We chose the name Nuve.
It’s a made up name which happens to have a meaning with its variations in several languages. Nüve means nucleus/core, Nuve means cloud, Nuwe means New. And we immediately clicked with the name, with the sound of it and with the meaning behind it.

Spicy was no longer direction I wanted to go. It doesn’t felt like it corresponds to the products I want to offer. We wanna build classy, respectable brand and I think the proper name is an important aspect.The preparations start on the 1st of September.

The parcel will be closed and I will start with the reconstruction. Sorry for the inconvenience regarding that. Then we will proceed with the rest of the things related to the brand like website, in-world group etc..

All spicy items will be available in a specific room in-world and on MP. Only the extremely old stuff will be removed from the in-world store.

Thank you for your attention and the support I have received from you in recent years ♥

New in-world group (Free for certain period of time)

New Kyber Digital Blog Post Analyzes the Best Automated Review Generation Platforms

Respected industrial, commercial, and residential contractor marketing firm, Kyber Digital, has just posted a new blog on its website. This blog is titled ‘Synup VS Birdeye VS Podium VS Yext for Review Generation and Listing Corrections’. The blog’s purpose is to help businesses determine which of these services is the ideal automated review generation platform for them to use. It's just one of many helpful blogs regarding digital marketing strategies that the company has posted on its website which can be found at

First mentioned in the new Kyber Digital blog post was that it takes many tools to help a company manage their business and the ability to generate reviews is definitely an important tool to have. That’s why the company decided to break down the top review generation platforms that are available for businesses to use. The first of these review generation platforms to be discussed in the blog was ‘Synup’. It was stated in the new post that this platform is very impactful when it comes to helping businesses improve their brand awareness and customer acquisitions. The Synup platform features a review generation tool and corresponding notification system that enables a company to quickly respond to the reviews that have been received on their services. Also gone over in the blog is the review generation platform Birdeye. It not only helps businesses generate and respond to reviews but also makes it easy to share those reviews on social media. Another important aspect of Birdeye is that it can monitor reviews on over 200 websites.

Podium was the next review generation platform that was discussed in the blog article. It’s a service that is used by tens of thousands of businesses because of how easy it makes it for customers to leave reviews. This platform is also designed to help a business better understand what makes their particular brand appealing to their target audience. The last review generation platform that was discussed in the new blog is Yext. It was noted that Yext does a good job not only enabling a company to generate and respond to reviews but to also use these reviews to recognize new opportunities for the continued growth of the business. Those that would like to see this blog in its entirety can do so by going to

Beijing china

Beijing Travel Guide
Being the Hushan Mountains in Liaoning Province in the east, ending at the Bohai Gulf. It crosses eleven provinces/municipalities (or ten, according to some authorities) and two autonomous regions (Inner Mongolia and Ningxia). Construction of the  wall began in the Win dynasty (221-206 BCE) under the First Emperor Shi hoangdi  and continued over hundreds of years throughout many different dynasties. The Great Wall in the present day is almost completely the work of the min dynasty (1368-1664 CE) who added the distinctive watchtowers and expanded the length and width of the wall. The now-famous national monument fell into decay following the Ming Dynasty, when the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912 CE) took power and expanded the border of China northwards, making the wall obsolete. Restoration and preservation efforts only seriously began in the 1980's CE, and the wall was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 CE. of the People's Republic of China, Beijing is the nation's political, economic, and cultural center. Located in north China, close to the port city of Tianjin and partially surrounded by Hebei Province, it also serves as the most important transportation hub and port of entry.

We are T.J. & Rochelle Scott and Family
So in Christ, we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another
– Romans 12:5.

This verse was brought to life during our first mission trip from the USA to Ometepe Island, Nicaragua in 2009.

Since then, we have focused much of our time raising a blended family of six children in the USA and working in secular jobs, while at the same time, leading a bunch of mission trips (both through our NJ-based church and subsequent personal trips). We now reside in Florida, yet still have pledged our spiritual and financial support to several families on Ometepe, through full-time, resident missionaries and the use of online resources to communicate, evaluate and monitor our progress.

We have witnessed the full spectrum of joy and grief through the lives of those impacted by our commitment.  These experiences have strengthened our faith in Jesus, and reinforced our calling to a permanent ministry, initially starting on a part-time basis. One Body Global Ministries (“OBGM”) is what resulted from this calling.

Part of living our fullness in Christ includes constructing a permanent presence on Ometepe Island, Nicaragua on land we already own to serve the countless needs of the impoverished men, women and children in Nicaragua — and just steps away from other full-time missionaries.

One overwhelming need on Ometepe is for locals to learn English. While on our 2017 visit to Ometepe, we and three of our children worked in a classroom with 30+ students who were eager to listen to our voices and to learn English.  This NOW is a key pillar offered by OBGM.

Another immense and urgent need in Nicaragua is to provide food and medical assistance.  Since the sociopolitical crisis that arose on April 18, 2018, the number of people living at the poverty level (defined as living on $2/day) has exploded and continues to grow.  Our ministry provides rice, beans, oil, sugar and coffee to some of the poorest families in three local communities of Santa Cruz, Madroñal and Sintiope.

Finally, now that peace is restored on Ometepe.  We also host small teams from around the globe to engage in relationship with those we serve, as well as serve as volunteers in the year-round programs such as the English classes and food distribution.

Over the years, Rochelle has worked for both for-profit and non-profit organizations, and with start-up companies.  She now dedicates a significant portion of her time operating OBGM and teaching yoga in Cocoa Beach, FL. TJ has been working in the medical and pharmaceutical community for approximately 30 years.

During the next phase of their lives, they want to serve the impoverished communities, especially children in Ometepe Island, Nicaragua by leveraging their decades of professional experience with the heart of Christ’s unconditional love. Their approach to the year-round programming in Ometepe focuses on shared responsibility and partnership with respected locals in the communities they serve.  The long-term goal of each program is to build self-sufficiency in the community while deepening a personal relationship with Christ. They ask for your prayers and support.

TJ holds a Master of Science degree in organizational leadership and change management from the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from Rowan University.  Rochelle holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Leadership from Jefferson University.

TJ and Rochelle are active members of the First United Methodist Church in Cocoa Beach, FL.

Another wreath!

Less speedy than the last one! This is a lavender bag, tatted as a thank you to Katy for the thread she gave me. I had a bit of a panic about what to tat actually. I need to look for new patterns! As I usually tat on the train though, it’s not always possible. I like to do things I have memorised already (much less of a faff) – also, I wanted to tat something I knew would look nice. I do like the colour of this thread. It’s really close to the colour of the linen, and I think it looks good with the beads.

Katy also gave me some white thread, if you recall, so on the reverse are the flowers I tatted with the two colours together.

The threads are actually different sizes – which on freeform stuff like this is fine, but I spotted it when another Mary Konior pattern I was tatting started looking a bit tight. I adjusted numbers of stitches though, so all good.

I tried extra hard with the sewing on this one – it’s always a bit nerve-wracking making things as gifts. I think it turned out ok though.  Also, Katy has been decluttering her house this year, and I felt a bit bad about sending more clutter as she’s done so well, but I thought… well, it’s useful and will tuck in a drawer and make things smell nice 😉

Thanks again Katy. (Aren’t bloggers nice?)

10 thoughts on “Another wreath!

  1. It’s definitely not clutter!

    It went straight up on my new display tree (bought to use at craft fairs, but it’s so nice I’ve decided to keep it out)! It’s become the centrepiece of my very minimalist Christmas decorations. I have a wee smile to myself every time I see it…bloggers are very nice.

    • Thank you! I bought a Japanese tatting book a while back and there was one thing tatted in a linen colour, with white and it was really pretty. It looks a bit ‘vintage-y’ actually. I’ve been wanting to try the colours together for ages, so this was a good chance. Thanks for commenting!

November 9 ~ in Music History

OCMS 1881 ~ Johannes Brahms gave the first performance of his Piano Concerto No.2 in Budapest.

.1899 ~ “Mezz” Mezzrow, American jazz clarinetist and saxophonist

.1929 ~ Piero Cappuccili, Italian baritone

.1930 ~ Ivan Moravec, Czech pianist

.1938 ~ 24-year-old Mary Martin made her Broadway stage debut in the musical comedy “Leave It to Me”. She brought down the house as she sang My Heart Belongs to Daddy. And the critics raved about New York’s bright new star. The following year brought Martin a top-ten hit with the same song. Martin suddenly found herself singing duets with Bing Crosby; starring on “Broadway in One Touch of Venus” in 1943; “Lute Song” in 1946; touring in “Annie Get Your Gun”; and then taking on what would become her immortal role, that of Nellie in “South Pacific”. South Pacific was one of Broadway’s biggest hits and the cast album was one of the first of its kind, also a big seller. Then came Mary’s stage and TV performances as Peter Pan. This would become her signature role, a memorable moment as the petite actress flew through the air with Tinkerbell and fought the dangerous Captain Hook. Broadway called to Mary Martin again in 1959 for “The Sound of Music” and once more in 1966 for “I Do, I Do”. Back in 1951, Mary Martin recorded a duet with a young man who was also destined for instant and long-term stardom. The song they sang together was Get Out Those Old Records. The twenty-year-old was her son, Larry Hagman, who later played J.R. Ewing. This is one man that Mary Martin didn’t want to wash out of her hair!

.1955 ~ Harry Belafonte recorded Jamaica Farewell and Come Back Liza for RCA Victor. The two tunes completed the Calypso album which led to Belafonte’s nickname, ‘Calypso King’.

.1967 ~ The first issue of Rolling Stone was published. John Lennon was on the cover. The magazine said it was not simply a music magazine but was also about “…the things and attitudes that music embraces.”

.1969 ~ Simon and Garfunkel recorded what would become their signature tune, ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ with a future member of Bread, Larry Knechtel on piano. Art wanted Paul to sing the song, but Paul insisted that Art’s voice was better suited for it. It was a decision that Paul would later say he regretted. The song won five awards at the 13th Annual Grammy Awards in 1971, including Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

.1974 ~ Bachman Turner Overdrive went to No.1 on the US singles chart with ‘You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet’. Randy Bachman stuttered through the lyrics of the demo recording as a private joke about his brother Gary, who had a speech impediment. The record company liked that take better than the non-stammering version and released it.

.2003 ~ Saxophonist Buddy Arnold, who performed with such jazz greats as Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich and Tommy Dorsey and co-founded a program to help musicians suffering from drug and alcohol abuse, died at the age of age 77. Born Arnold Buddy Grishaver, he began playing the saxophone at age 9. And by the time he was 16, he was touring as a professional sideman and performing at the Apollo Theater in Harlem with bandleader George Auld. After serving in the Army during World War II, Arnold joined the band of super-drummer Buddy Rich on a West Coast tour. Arnold earned his first recording credits in 1949 on the Mercury Records release of Gene Williams and the Junior Thornhill Band, and he toured with clarinetist Buddy DeFranco’s orchestra in 1951. But he soon descended into a decades-long struggle with drug addiction. Although he landed a recording contract with ABC Paramount in 1956 following an 18-month hospitalization, he was sentenced to prison in 1958 on an attempted burglary conviction. Pardoned two years later, he played with the Dorsey Band and toured with Stan Kenton. He later settled in Los Angeles and recorded four albums for Capitol Records. Arnold took a job in a drug treatment program after his early release from prison and went on to establish the Musician’s Assistance Program with his wife, Carole Fields, in 1992. The organization, dedicated to helping needy musicians obtain treatment for drug and alcohol addiction, has served more than 1,500 individuals during the past decade.

Go west, young (and not so young) …

October 18, 2010

Simon is feeling better today, thankfully. It’s what we in Leftpondia call “24-hour flu”. And S points out is probably not truly influenza but a non-influenza ‘gastric virus’. Two nations divided by a common language!

So we had a re-do of lunch with B’s mum. Much more enjoyable today since we were all happy to be there. We had a good visit.

Eventually, we needed to move westward. So the journey’s latter theme for today is … dust!

We decided to continue on Highway 30 … the Lincoln Highway. We’ve decided that the pace of travel on Highway 30 is much better suited to our Westfalia than the soulless hurtle across I-80.

Eastward out of Aurora, we saw many windfarms. As we got farther west in Illinois, not so much. So B consulted a map and suspects that U of Illinois in DeKalb may have instigated the windfarms. This may be Malthusian (population growing faster than resources allow … and then technology enables better use of resources).

Because the Mississippi has a reputation for being a “mile wide and three feet deep” we expected a very wide bridge. But about a mile into Iowa, we realized that the two less impressive rivers we had crossed were, in fact, the one wide Mississippi!

Later into Iowa, we decided to detour off the current Highway 30 to what we surmised is the original, historic Lincoln Highway, and were rewarded for our efforts by a lovely sidetrip through an old Iowa town. Someone who has much more time could make a journey of taking all the side trips like that!

Tonight we’re overnighting in Cedar Rapids, IA.

Update (S.) Bed bugs are crawling across the USA, westwards. Last night, we avoided staying at the local Super 8 across the street from the La Quinta Hotel, where we did, in fact stay. I was bitten by bed bugs anyway. Can you say itchy?

Why Do You Need Affordable Graphic Design In San Antonio for Your Business?

Graphic design is crucial for any type of business. However, if your company lacks enough financial resources, it is easy to be tempted to save on your creative budget. In this crowded marketplace and its sea of rivals who compete for even a tiny slice of that marketing cake, the most ideal way to stay ahead of your competition is with expert affordable graphic design San Antonio.
    But, why do you need graphic design, anyway? Here are the top reasons to add this to your business budget.
    First Impressions Always Count
This may sound clichéd, but this is true. The way your brand looks as well as how it is displayed is how your potential clients will perceive it. Prospectus or packaging, brochure or business card, no matter what the platform is, people will be judging a business according to its visual appeal in just a few seconds. Even if you have the best service or product, a poor design can make people stay away from it with no questions asked.
    Make Your Business Memorable with Branding
Efficient design offers consistency across all customer-facing platforms. A professional company specializing in affordable graphic design San Antonio will use specific combinations of colors, imagery, tones, and typefaces for each element. This way, every customer will have a similar experience when visiting a business website in the same way they do when browsing the brochure. This helps the business become memorable and recognizable at the same time. Consistency means professional, and professionalism translates to credibility.
    A Good Story is a Delight to Hear and See
People have been programmed to receive and share stories. The sensory cortex lights up every time a person hears a story that captivates him. This helps listeners in finding common ground with storytellers through the shared experiences. The story of your brand must resonate with your target market and answer your brand came to existence in the first place. It is a vital skill you must master, and this is where a professional graphic design company can help you out.
    Great Designs Convert
This is probably the number one importance of graphic design for businesses. While it is great to have a brand spanking new site, it is even better if this brand spanking new site can transform visits to conversions. Expertly designed brochures or websites will encourage visitors to take the right action you want them to, whether it is picking up the phone or adding a product to their cart. After all, design is not all about making the elements look their part. The design must engage, attract, and persuade at the same time.
    Affordable graphic design in San Antonio is no doubt a must for every business, and it can be a difficult process to get it right. Good thing that you can always get the help you need from an expert design company that can bring all your design visions and turn them into reality. A quick email or phone call is all it takes to get those design juices flowing.

And so, the spin begins

Within hours of the murder of Boris Nemtsov in downtown Moscow, the Western media are beginning to spin his tragic and untimely death as a political story out of an old James Bond flick, with Putin-the-villain masterminding the murder of his most dangerous political rival.

In Canada, the CBC is already putting a spin on Nemtsov’s murder by presenting him as a significant political figure in today’s Russia, specifically as a significant opponent of Putin’s. Nothing could be further from the truth, but how is the Canadian public to know that?

The BBC, in contrast to its Canadian counterpart, has chosen to set aside all subtlety and sense, making believe that, had he lived, Nemtsov might have had some influence or effect on Russia’s policy on Ukraine. Such is the sensationalism the BBC currently goes in for that, in its brief item reporting his death, the venerable Beeb even paraphrases Nemtsov himself claiming in a recent interview that he feared “Mr Putin would have him killed because of his opposition to the war in Ukraine.”

Sadly, such posturing and such acts of self-inflation, the self-inflation of one’s political importance that is, are part of the all too common delusions (or simply deceptive self-representations) of Russian liberals, whose popularity at home is at an all-time low.

For a more sensible response to Boris Nemtsov’s death, I recommend Dimitry Babich’s interview with RT. Babich’s comments and observations carry the weight of objective, impartial analysis: as a member of the European Leadership Network, he can, after all, hardly be accused of being a Kremlin hand.

And, as Babich says, what a gift to Putin haters Nemtsov’s murder is. Apart from Nemtsov’s death being a tragedy for his family and closest friends, it’s also a tragedy for the small contingent of Russian liberals, whose leaders have all cultivated rather too close ties with the oligarchs. Several of them have been murdered in the past few years, and one can’t help but think they should have learned this key lesson from the Italians by now: stay away from the mafia capos if you want to live long.

As for those who might have noted the extraordinarily convenient timing of Boris Nemtsov’s murder for NATO’s propaganda needs, there’s this second piece of news from Russia, issued earlier today, to consider. Only hours before someone killed Boris Nemtsov in the middle of Moscow, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich had just announced that there are no political obstacles to letting Chinese investors have more than a 50% stake in Russia’s oil and gas fields (excluding the Arctic continental shelf).

Russia’s clearly laying the ground for an alliance with China the extent and the depth of which Washington (and Pentagon) neocons never really expected — and an alliance the West cannot hope to beat even by provoking a nuclear war. To use Al Jazeera’s terminology for a moment: desperation can make the Empire act against its own best interests and drive it to destroy itself rather than loosen its grip on global power gracefully and with a measure of good sense. Let us hope, therefore, that saner and more sober Washington and EU heads will prevail.

For the RT interview with Dimitry Babich, see here.

Your Solar Buyers Club LLC Representative is:DannyTseng
Club Leader ID 100085

White page

"On our own we can do so little; together we can do so much."
- Helen Keller

Solar Buyers Club is making it possible for everyone to go solar on their home or business. We have put together all the missing pieces to make solar dramatically cheaper, right now!

One of the key ingredients is People Power. We’ve created a grassroots effort to spread the word about this great opportunity for everyone to finally have solar on their home and or business.

We have cut out all of the wasteful costs that in the past made it so expensive to go solar. We use the right cutting edge technology. We don’t use salespeople, distributors, and middlemen that just add to the cost. We buy in bulk right from the manufacturers to get the best possible price and we use our special secret ingredient, our “secret sauce” that no one else knows about or uses – all of this reduces the cost so dramatically that it is a game–changer.

Finally everyone can afford to "Make the Shift"

Every day average people can now have their own solar power plant right on their home or business and most can get to a zero electric bill, depending on how much power you use.

And, whether you go solar or not, or even if you don’t own your own home yet, you can still get involved. People Power means all people – you can help spread the word and educate others, your relatives, friends, neighbors, about this great new opportunity. We make it fun and easy – you can help make the world a better place by helping to reduce fossil fuels and reducing our carbon footprint, and get paid big cash incentives to pay for your own solar system, or just keep the cash for whatever you need.

Have you always wanted to go solar but thought you couldn’t afford it?

The Solar Buyers Club, aka "The Club", is a persuasive new portal which provides critical information and tools to assist and inspire homeowners, businesses, and entire communities to combine they're buying power effectively driving down the overall cost of rooftop solar.

Do you want to make a great living educating others about the benefits of solar energy?

The Club also provides a partnership platform where clean energy advocates "Club Leaders" can drive up the adoption of solar while dramatically driving down costs to their own communities. Everyone is welcomed and any individual or organization can become a Solar Buyers Club Leader – spreading the word while receiving excellent compensation.
