The last column focused on a young producer who provided advice to his peers at a young and beginning farmer and rancher conference in Omaha, Neb. I explained how this industry leader recommended having a team of advisors and doing succession planning. Let's continue the discussion.
Goal Prioritization
Jeremy discussed the importance of prioritizing, which includes establishing goals and then placing an order of importance upon them. What was interesting is that he discussed planning beyond the business. That includes goals for the family and personal endeavors including physical, mental and spiritual aspects. In his particular situation, the priorities are God, family and the farm, respectively.
Jeremy stressed that young lifelong learners should document their goals by writing them down. This is critical in recording the history of your business and assessing the progress you have made in obtaining your goals. He stated that by setting goals, you can focus and channel your energy toward the elements and variables that will be most rewarding.
My ears perked up when Jeremy discussed the importance of keeping good records. Sound records allow one to establish benchmarks to test and compare production, management and financial outcomes to peers or leading managers across the industry.
He stated that your lender can be a valuable resource in providing guidance and organization that allow the records to "talk to you" and reinforce what you are doing well, as well as identify areas for improvement. He also said that producers should not fall in the trap of the older generation by failing to allow the younger generation to see the financial records. This has been the demise of many good businesses over the years.

Be Involved
As a final point, he explained to the group the importance of getting involved in your industry and community. He said it is critical to know the directors of leading agriculture organizations. Go to meetings, and find organizations that will stretch your paradigms. The keys are to be selective, manage your time well, and avoid becoming overly committed.
This was a powerful message from a young leader to his peers, other young farmers.
Now you can see why agriculture will be in good hands in the future given the advice from one of these outstanding leaders.

Equipment Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis
The Equipment Industry is composed of establishments engaged in manufacturing implements and tools designed for performing specific tasks and serving a raft of industries, namely construction engineering, mining and quarrying, energy, agriculture, and far more. Manufacturers are always abreast of the demand levels, attempting to supply the items needed to shorten production hours, and also to ensure intensified services' delivery.
The financial depression slackened the previously stable demand from a great deal of industries, particularly mining and petroleum, in turn impairing the Equipment Market too. However, with the global economy gradually flattening out, the Equipment Market is on course to surging in demand in the soon-to-come years.
The reports under the Catalogue are packed with all round research and detailed statistics providing strategic insights into the world, region- and country-level Equipment Markets and their manifold categories and sub-categories.

about to lock in at Sugarbowl the day before the race: another form of Mountain Running. this is Mt. Judah, not too high or steep, but this hill has the terrain park.
Winning this year's Rucky Chucky Roundabout 50k was definitely not on my radar even as late at 8 miles into the race. I was there for fun, a good training run and to check out the Western States course before I finally make it in (probably in 2020, since there is talk of discontinuing the 2-strikes-and-you're-in rule). By doing this run, you literally get to know it forwards and backwards between miles 62 and 78.
Anyways, had I been thinking seriously of winning, I would not have attempted as many jumps or gone so fast snowboarding the day before the race. While my toddler was having fun at all-day ski school (half-price at Sugarbowl in March!), my wife and I took turns on the slopes, with the other taking care of the baby. Even when I wasn't trying to squeeze value out of our lift ticket, I could feel my ankles getting sore walking back and forth in snowboard boots to the car carrying the baby and a full backpack.
Maybe the stupidest move: when I first got to see my toddler get on the Magic Carpet "lift" after lunch, the damn thing broke. They were going to make him walk up the hill! It was too painful to watch, so I ran over, picked him up and started running up the stalled conveyor belt, probably 45-50 pounds with equipment. I guess I at least didn't pick up his 20-something South American instructora.
Pushing the stroller up the hill from the pizza place in Auburn to our car that evening, feeling sore in several places, I realized that I may have blown a great 5-day taper, but since this was just a fun training run anyways, and I was focused on spending quality time with my family, I wasn't too concerned.
RACE DAY, Saturday March 22, 2008
my gracious chauffer from Auburn to the Foresthill start
Peter Lubbers, already driving his friend Frank Plucker, is nice enough to pick me up at the deluxe Motel 6 in Auburn before 7 that morning, sparing my wife and family the major hassle of getting up early and driving me out. We get to the start early, enough time to use the bathroom (when I realize that the 5 slices of combo pizza I'd eaten the night before were probably not the best pre-race meal--again, proof that maybe winning was not on my mind), and fill up my Fuel Belt Del Fuego pack (replacing inner sack with the easier to suck Camelback one--Fuelbelt, please take note) I'd won as part of my 2006 ultrarunner.net swag, and stuff my pockets with Hammer gels and Cliff Shots, and 6 Ecaps. And, just in case I need some audiospiration, my Nano, since the Fuel Belt has 2 more pockets. Consider bringing my camera, but decide against it. Am expecting Scott Dunlap to be there, but he doesn't show up until maybe 15 minutes before, sleep deprived from an unexpectedly layover in snowy Chicago.
(note, race maps with elevations at the end of this post)
We start running through the main street of Foresthill. I'm feeling a little off, and don't manage to hold conversations with Beverly Anderson-Abbs and Scott and others. After a few turns, we get onto the trails, which for the first few miles is almost all downhill. Some guy way ahead of us stops to pee (I would later learn he is Jady Palko), so then it's Bev ahead of me. Note to less experienced runners--even if you are running with an experienced (even a nationally renowned) runner who has run the course and trail numerous times, don't fail to look for the course markings yourself. At about 1 mile, Bev leads the first 5 or 6 of down the wrong way, until we hear "you're going the wrong way" behind us. Luckily no significant distance, but now I have to slowly pass runners on the narrow single track for the next few miles. As I descend, I am thinking I'd be too short of breath to take part in any of the conversations above and behind me. Am I going too fast?
Beverly Anderson-Abbs, USATF 2007 Womens Masters runner of the year, getting her raffle swag. Every runner would get a swag prize!
I pass 2 guys I don't know, then Peter Lubbers, who seems to be pacing himself well. He says there are 2 guys ahead of us. Next is Ray Sanchez, who races 1-2 times a week, so it's no surprise he's struggling a little. I'm thinking the guy in the lead is way out in front, but eventually I spot him, I believe he's the guy who stopped to pee, but I'm not sure. I take my time to pass him (he in fact, suddenly stopped and let me pass).
The last guy I had to pass before I found myself in 1st, fast downhiller Jady Palko (thanks, Will Gotthardt, for the ID).
So at about mile 10, I find myself in first place. Huh? What just happened? So now I start to have regrets. Not about going to Sugarbowl with my family, or even going up the lifts. I'm having second thoughts about every jump I tried, every steep slope I gunned down, not changing out of my snowboarding boots, running up that Magic Carpet carrying both my kids.
And the pizza.
Okay, so that night, we went to pizza. I didn't want to be a party-pooper (remember, the goal is to minimize the family impact) and just eat bread while the rest of family was chowing on really good pizza (or baby food). I'm mildly lactose intolerant, which means I'm okay eating a few slices of pizza, but 5 slices with multi-toppings probably aren't not the best choice before an ultra.
at Old Town Pizza, in historic Auburn. To my Sportiva sponsors--hey, I'm still wearing the jacket!
So with my assuming the lead position, I start to feel the discomfort in my bowels. Over the next 3 miles, it gets worse. Since some readers have complained I get too biological on them, I'll spare you the details, but basically I have to pit stop at about mile 13, right before the 1st aid station, and if my toddler had seen it, he'd shout, "OOH, DADDY THAT'S NASTY POO! NAAASTY!" And then I'd ask him what food it looks like and we'd talk about how yummy chocolate pudding is. Then we'd have good laugh. Gotta love my son!
Luckily I don't get passed doing it. Peeing standing is one thing, but squatting with your pants down and getting passed--how undignified and humiliating!
Norm Klein, RD of Rio del Lago 100, Sierra Nevada Double Marathon, Helen Klein 30k/50k/50 mile, and former RD of Western States.
Norm greets me. "Hey is Jon Olsen running this?" I'm so focused on keeping my lead (winning IS on my radar now), I'm not sure I answer him, but ask him if it's legal to leave my hydration pack to fill and pick it up on the way back since it's less than 2 miles to the turnaround. After leaving, I feel guilty-rude. Didn't even congratulate Helen on her new world record (women 85-89 age marathon, I think).
I try to be quick at the turnaround, and remember to note my time, about 2:03 (at that rate, I could finish Western States in about 12 1/2 hours, hmmm... but I guess it was mostly downhill). I see the next runner about a minute after I leave, meaning a gap of 2 minutes. I see Bev within the next minute, and several other runners within the next 2. In other words, there are about 5-6 runners within 5-6 minutes of my ass.
I get back to the aid station (the last before the finish), and apologize to Helen for being so rude (not that she was offended) and congratulating her. Then I ask for my pack, but evidently I wasn't the only runner carrying one who thought of the same thing, so it takes about 15-20 seconds before Norm spots it under the table. He hands me a cup of cola, which I gratefully chug. I almost forget to stock up on more gels.
Helen Klein, yet another world record bagged at the Napa Marathon earlier this month.
Within the next mile, I start hearing breathing and footsteps behind me. Damn--who is that? A mile a minute faster than me... Is my now full Fuel Belt pack weighing me down that much? We chat a little, and the fast dude tells me he's in the relay. Whoops, forgot to look at the race numbers. 1000 something is solo, 300 something are relay runners. He eventually passes.
Well, maybe it's irrelevant I didn't pay attention to race numbers, since at the very least, Bev is close and definitely a major threat (aside from not winning, it is technically getting chicked), and there are several others close--I just have to run as sustainably fast as I can. With an uphill return and the temperatures rising, anything could happen. For instance, my legs might mush on me.
What's great about out and back races is that you get to know where you are competitively, and you get to see and say "hi" to everyone. Okay, actually I'm running so hard I can barely grunt out "hi" while most everyone is saying full sentence compliments "Great job, Mark," for instance. Me so rude, so competitive...
Lynx: my 1st pair of comped racing shoes on the Sportiva Mountain Running Team. will be racing with these several more times this year.
In addition, I am starting to feel some pressure over the base of my left pinkie toe. The shoes were working great--the cushioning was great on the downhills, the bane of my running and racing since last fall. I hadn't tried them until today.
my ugly feet. black 4th toenail on right is old. new minor blister over left 5th metatarsal joint
Noticeable deceleration. On the (relatively few) downhills, I start to hear footsteps, but when I look back and up, I never see anyone. I eventually figure out it's my hydration pack bouncing up and down. Or I am paranoid tripping out. Nonetheless, no letting up. I think of putting on the iPod I've been carrying the whole race, but decide it's not worth the hassle--I'm in the zone, able to work it hard, and not suffering from 1 or 2 songs that keep playing over and over in my head. I try to job up as many hills as is biomechanically efficient, but still do a lot of walking. I am fricking sore. I am prepared to get passed. I am thinking I will be so pissed at myself if I lose first place by a few minutes, because I KNOW all my activity yesterday adds up to at least 5 minutes. At least I was smart enough not to bring my camera (sorry--if you want good on the trail race photos, see Scott Dunlap's blog-- I love you all, my readers, xoxoxo, but not that much...)
11th place finisher and Bloggerdean Scott Dunlap, after his ordeal, including hardly any sleep. I know you all can never get enough of this guy.
My pack empties at about mile 29, but I figure I'm okay. The only problem is that I have just downed a Hammer gel, and with nothing to wash it down, am feeling a little yucky in the mouth. The trail keeps going up and up, there is less cover, and I'm feeling hot. When I finally hit the pavement, I start looking back every 30 seconds or so--just in case. Turning onto Main Street, I dismayed I can't even see the school. But soon everyone at the finish spots me several blocks away and it feels good to hear their cheers. (Official time 4:43:50, although when I looked at my Garmin later, it was 4:43:20-something. I'd trust the latter more, except that the altitude change was recorded as more than 9200 feet up and 9200 down which can't be right.)
Despite 21 miles in 1st, I'm still a little incredulous at winning. I try to walk off my panting, and think I give Linda Mathis a big sweaty malodorous hug, which I doubt she enjoyed. I hear about some shower and make my way to spray off any offensive odors.
Aaah, shower. I was too shy (and the water a little too cold) to get butt naked, but I did aim into my shorts.
Robert Mathis hand me my prize--a coupon for a pair of Inov-8 running shoes. Whoops--not Sportiva! Guess I won't be wearing them soon (I was racing in them most of last year). No trophy or anything. Just as well--my wife is generally not enthusiastic about all the animal figurines mostly from Norm's races that are sitting around our small house. But I'm thinking a stuffed green dinosaur in blue boxers might've been cool...
I would sit and cheer everyone as they come in, but realize that my wife will show up any minute and want to get going home. I go to the bathroom and give my legs a liquid soap scrub down for the urashiol (poison oak irritant) and then to the gym to fuel up. But I have to make the wifey call--post-race mind you. My Razor with AT&T gets no signal. I ask Catherine Sullivan, who lends me hers (Verizon seems to be the way to go), but I can only leave a message. I ask my wife about the egg hunt and when she might get here, should I try to hop a ride out to Auburn. I make no mention of winning the race
Catherine Sullivan, super volunteer for the day
I help myself to several servings of food and try to mingle, but end up sitting listening to Scott tell some hilarious stories including one about savvy chicks he meets on My Space (yes, take this out of context!)
Since I'm too lame to take pictures on the course, you have to look at a random few in a less scenic school gym. (Hey, if you want scenery, put on shoes and get ond a trail!)
Linda Mathis, Matt, Linda Bennett and RD Robert Mathis, in the kitchen
finishers Karyn and Mike Hoffman (thanks Kathy Martin for clearing this up for me--I knew her name began with a "K").
finisher Tony Overbay, left and fellow Anti-Hair Party runner whose name I didn't know originally, on right :) Have since learned he is Tony's running buddy Jeffery Johnston. I sold my Way Too Cool entry to eager Tony for a win win win situation-- kept my motel reservation, and took my toddler skiing and sledding that weekend (while mommy and baby went out of town), inspiring this weekend's family trip.
finisher Charley Jones, of Folsom, who saved me while pacing Rena Schumann at my first night section at Rio del Lago in 2005. I am thinking I should shave my head.
finisher (7th place) and relatively hirsute Paul Sweeney, with raffle prize Stony Face Red Ale (which is what I got too)
My beloved wife comes with our kids, late enough that I'm full. She drove to Folsom to catch an egg hunt, but my toddler got into petting these bunnies...just as well, since he's wild and crazy enough without junk food. Since carrying both of my kids would've slowed me down and been dangerous, I'm very grateful. The win I owe to her. But I decide not to mention that I won, and let her figure it out eventually. Don't wanna act like I'm too into this silly racing thing... ooh, she congratulates me! Is this chick into me now?
Gotta go! I thank the volunteers I see (thanks all!) and say bye, then we drive our loaded Rav on that gorgeous road to Auburn (with that gorgeous and scary bridge). I end up driving the whole way, high from caffeine (I in fact had enough in my naive system to keep me up half that night) and my win. We decide to check out the waterfront at Benicia for the first time, and have a delightful dinner at a restaurant along the water before getting home way past our bedtime.

Have some time to spare...wanna look at pics...visit: www.psaphotos.com
Of course, another possibility is Morley's Pipe Club, which has met every month for decades in downtown Philly.
I'm actually in VA (laughing) so I'll try to get my hands on a VA and do my own review to post. (Ehm... Unless others in VA want to get together and do our own VA meet&greet and compare VA's in VA ASAP..Lol. What? Just putting it out there.
Ok sooo... If your new to pipe smoking like me and can't recall every detail you read about the different types out there here is a VA cheat sheet if you will:
Virginia: -red / black / lemon / orange / orange-red Virginia is by far the most popular tobacco type used in pipe tobacco today. About 60% of the American tobacco crop is Virginia. Virginia is the mildest of all blending tobaccos and has the highest level of natural dextrose (sugar), which basicly gives it a light sweet taste. Virginia is used in virtually all blends, is a good burner and aids in lighting.
The mildest of all blending tobaccos, it has the highest natural sugar content. Used in virtually all blends as it is a good burner and aids in lighting. It imparts a light sweet taste when used in moderation
Pure Virginia tobacco is best known from flake types. Dunhills Light Flake is a very good example. Medium in strength and rather sweet in taste. Several blends by Rattray comes into mind. Marlin Flake being a rather heavy member of the family, but still very sweet. The Danish manufacturer A&C Petersen has the Blue Caledonian. Mild to medium in strength, and a nice pure taste of Virginia tobacco.

(Rational Emotive Therapy; Rational Behavior Therapy; Rational Living Therapy; Dialectic Behavior Therapy; Schema Focused Therapy)
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy. This means that you discuss your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a mental health professional. CBT focuses on how the way you think affects the way you feel and act.
CBT is a problem-solving approach. While you cannot control other people or situations, you can control the way you perceive and react to a particular situation. CBT teaches you the skills to change your thinking. It can also help you manage your reactions to stressful people and situations.
Reasons for Procedure
Reasons for Procedure
CBT is used to treat many health concerns. Some of these include:

- Social anxiety disorder
- Feelings of extreme shyness
- Stress
- Panic disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Borderline personality disorder
- Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and obesity
- Insomnia and other sleep problems
- Substance abuse
- Chronic pain

Possible Complications
Possible Complications
CBT may not be effective for everyone. Talk to your therapist about your progress or other treatments that may help you.
What to Expect
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
There is no specific preparation for CBT. You may be asked to fill out a questionnaire about your feelings.
Description of the Procedure
You may receive CBT in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group format. CBT can be divided into two parts: functional analysis and skills training.
Functional Analysis
You and your therapist will identify stressful situations. You will also determine the thoughts that lead to or worsen these situations. These thoughts will then be analyzed to see if they are realistic and appropriate. For example, your therapist may point out negative thought patterns, such as "I cannot handle this" or "people are laughing at me."
Skills Training
Next, your therapist guides you to reduce unhealthy ways of thinking and to learn healthier ways. Instead of thinking "I cannot handle this," you will learn to draw on your strengths: "I have handled difficult situations before, so I can handle this one."
You will also learn to ask more questions about yourself before making a conclusion. For example, "Could those people be laughing at something other than me?" The goal is to replace irrational thought patterns with better ones.
Skills training takes a lot of practice. You will often be given homework. You might practice deep-breathing exercises or role-play how to act in certain social situations. For example, a person dealing with substance abuse might practice ways to decline an alcoholic drink.
Homework is vital to the success of CBT. You must practice new, rational responses until they replace your previous, unhealthy responses. Homework also allows you to try new skills. You will then be able to give feedback on which works best for you.
How Long Will It Take?
The length of an individual session is usually 50-100 minutes. Group sessions may last longer. Treatment sessions may occur 1-2 times per week for 12-16 weeks.
This is a general guideline. Depending on your situation, treatment may be longer or shorter. Keep in mind that it may take several tries to unlearn poor habits and to learn healthy ones.
Post-therapy Care
You may be given homework between sessions. You will need to practice the strategies you and your therapist have discussed.
Some therapists advise that you return for a check-up about three, six, and twelve months after therapy has ended. In addition, you may call your therapist whenever the need arises.
The goal of CBT is to change your thought process. This will allow healthy and realistic responses to difficult situations. Many patients notice an improvement in their symptoms within 3-4 weeks of beginning CBT.

FHanen350 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 64 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Hanen Enterprises, Inc.
I am an investor, and I deal mainly with stocks, options, and real estate. I make investments in vehicles that pay significant dividends, and invest the profits in multi-family residential properties.
I am targeting an audience that is interested in investing and also an audience that is interested in working for an investment company.
I already have a rough draft of my desired logo, but I want it to be tweaked and perfected for a final version. I want a man in tropical attire to be sitting and leaning against the tree, with sunglasses on, one elbow resting on pot of gold, hands folded behind his head, and looking like he is completely relaxed and in paradise. The other important thing I want to be tweaked is the font for the company name. I want it to be gaudy, shiny metallic gold and silver.

Passion Week at Wayland
In celebration of the Easter holiday, Wayland Baptist University's Plainview campus will host Passion Week activities April 7-11.
The purpose of the week, according to Baptist Student Ministries director Tommy Foster, is to bring awareness to the true meaning behind Easter - the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. By organizing events, students and others are able to focus on the sacrifice and hopefully come away changed.
"My hope and prayer is that Passion Week will be exactly what it says: it will awaken on our campus a passion for Christ," Foster said.
The week will begin on Sunday, April 8, with Wayland students conducting an outreach project to the Plainview community by placing Easter door hangers at residences.
On Monday and Tuesday, April 9 and 10, activities planned include a prayer tent and three crosses in the marsh area between Mabee Learning Resources Center and the Moody Science Building. A "Jesus" character will be making random campus appearances and the "Jesus" film will be shown in campus dorms.
A new event added last year - evening Coffee Houses - will be reprised this year as well. Those events will be held from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. both nights at Broadway 2000, located at 622 Broadway. The events will feature various local and student bands performing, with ping pong, pool and other games available as well as coffee, shakes and other snacks for a nominal fee. At 9:30 p.m., a worship service will be held, with noted communicator Jon Randles speaking. Admission is a $1 cover charge for both nights.
On Wednesday, April 11, a sunrise service will be planned on the steps of Harral Auditorium.
That evening at 8 p.m., Christian singer Jennifer Knapp will be in concert in Harral Auditorium, with Bebo Norman opening. Tickets for the concert are $10 for Wayland students and $12 for others. Group tickets purchased in advance will be discounted; tickets will be $15 at the door. Tickets are available at the University Bookstore, Lifeway Christian Store and Family Christian Store in Lubbock, and through the Baptist Student Ministries office at Wayland.
All events are open to the public. For more information on Passion Week events, call the BSM at 296-4998.


text: If you find a family listed at the top or bottom of a page in the census, take care about blithely hopping to the "previous" or "next" page. Occasionally pages are out of order, so that the family's continuation is actually not on the page one would assume it will be. If the enumerator has written the surnames in every line, or at least at the top of the next page, this may be easily seen, but sometimes one has to check the page numbers to determine if you are really seeing entries for the rest of the family. However, thisexample from Oktibbeha County, MS in 1930 lists parents William T. and Lucy Cothran with sons Pope M. and Carl C. on page 2B, while the rest of the household, sons William and James and Lucy's father, Pope Williams are at the top of page 2 A. Only the dwelling and family visitation numbers reflect the fact that this is a family. So instead of going to the next page, to find the continuation of the family, one must look at the top of the previous page. So remember to examine your material thoroughly to verify that the family grouping is complete and correct.

Top Hats serve two functions in entertainment lighting: To control light spill or to reduce the viewing angle to the lens. Sometimes poor fixture optics or poorly maintained lenses can cause light to be directed into the audience or onto scenery, and top hats can help control that. It is also often objectionable to the audience or camera to see the bright source of the light and top hats can shield the bright source from view. All of our black top hats and half top hats are flocked on the interior to reduce light reflection.

Buzzbox: It's a dub, man: Easy Star All Stars reinvent the classics
Tampering with the iconic albums of Pink Floyd, Radiohead, and the Beatles? Re-working classic albums may be considered blasphemous to some music mavens– but to New York-based Easy Star All Stars, an internationally-renowned reggae band, reinventing timeless albums is just another level of musical creativity.
"People give covers short change," says local resident and Easy Star label chief Lem Oppenheimer. "But to take a great classic album and reinterpret the whole thing– there's a lot of creative stuff you can do."
As the house band of the growing Easy Star music label, the All Stars are first and foremost committed to presenting an authentic reggae sound– despite the popularity of their dubs. The label formed in 1994 between three friends– producer and musical director Michael Goldwasser, Eric Smith, and Oppenheimer– who embraced all things reggae.
After overcoming the challenge of recruiting artists to commit to an unknown label, Easy Star began bringing musicians with reggae, ska, and jazz influences to the studio as part of the All Stars ensemble. It wasn't until 2003, however, that the label hit it big with the band's first release, Dub Side of the Moon– a reggae cover of Pink Floyd's 1973 album.
"Dark Side of the Moon was this stoner, spacey thing– not that far off from people who listen to reggae. The drugs are all the same," Oppenheimer says.
The success of Dub Side was unprecedented, with over five years on Billboard's reggae album chart and sales topping 250,000 units. And despite raised eyebrows at the concept, there has been critical acclaim as well.
"The idea of tackling a classic album is very post-modern to me," Oppenheimer says. "To completely transform something within one genre to another and still keep the integrity of it takes a sense of detail– a lot of thought and energy goes into it."
From there, the Easy Star All Stars took off. Over the next six years, the All Stars released two more critically acclaimed covers– one of Radiohead's Ok Computer in 2006 and the more recent Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band.
"Radiohead was a left field choice, totally unexpected," Oppenheimer says. "It's exciting, with Sgt. Pepper, to return to the iconic album– it's a new chapter for us. The reaction is phenomenal."
Lead vocalist Thom Yorke of Radiohead praised the dub at a concert, and members of Pink Floyd have come forward as fans. The success led to the creation of a touring version of the band, which had previously existed solely in the studio. The trio behind Easy Star saw a new step for the label– a tour that would continue to transform the original works in a re-energized way.
"It's a living, breathing thing," says Oppenheimer. "The live band gets their input on the road."
Easy Star All Stars play at iS on 6/5. The show starts at 9:00 pm and tickets are $15.


text: Loyola mourns Julia Splendora Lattanze, founding benefactor of David D. Lattanze Center for Information Value November 19, 2013 | By Nick Alexopulos The Loyola University Maryland community is celebrating the life of Julia Splendora Lattanze, founding benefactor of the University's David D. Lattanze Center for Information Value, which is named in honor of her late husband. Ms. Lattanze, of Towson, Md., died on Nov. 17. She was 74. With financial contributions from Ms. Lattanze, the Lattanze family, and others, Loyola launched the Lattanze Center in 1987 and its efforts continue today. David Lattanze earned his MBA from Loyola in 1982, near the end of his distinguished 25-year career at IBM. Soon after he wanted to establish a forum in the community where members of the I.T. business community could gather and exchange problems, ideas, and other subjects of interest that would be of benefit to all who participated. But in mid-1985 he became progressively ill and was diagnosed with cancer; he passed away in November 1986. While Mr. Lattanze was ailing, his family – led by his wife – contacted Loyola to explore the possibility of the University carrying on his dream of creating a forum for the community. "Julia Lattanze was a consistent advocate for the Lattanze Center and its mission of informing business executives about the benefits and strategic opportunities of using information technology," said Paul Tallon, Ph.D., associate professor of information systems and operations management at Loyola. "She helped to provide a sense of direction for the center, often quoting her husband David and his love of education. She was a tireless supporter of Loyola and our commitment to educating the whole person." The David D. Lattanze Center for Information Value was formed as a joint venture designed to create a partnership between the information technology community and Loyola's Sellinger School of Business and Management. As a nationally recognized center of excellence for management collaboration, the Lattanze Center seeks to advance relevance and rigor in shared knowledge about information systems through synergies among academics, business professionals, and students. It supports funded research, symposia, and working papers to facilitate the sharing of new knowledge about information technology and systems. Each year, the Lattanze Center recognizes a CIO of the Year who personifies the values of Lattanze and the values of Loyola. Information on services for Ms. Lattanze is available at ruckfuneralhomes.com

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who gave one of the most anticipated speeches at CPAC, has won a plurality of the gathering's annual presidential straw poll, finishing just ahead of his colleague, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).
According to CPAC, 52% of those who participated in the straw poll were between the age of 18 to 25, which highlights the growth of the youth participation. One would surmise that the liberty movement had a lot to do with this. Also, the poll found that 68% prefer targeted spending cuts to across-the-board cuts and an "overwhelming majority" oppose use of drones for strikes or spying.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is giving the keynote speech at this moment, which will close out CPAC for 2013. You can view the full results of the straw poll, including the survey questions asked of attendees, in the embed below. The takeaway is that there is a shift coming and it's undeniable.

In 2007, Alan and Debbie Gold purchased a 130-acre property in Woodland, Utah, 45 minutes east of Park City. The property had been a dairy farm over four decades ago, but all that remained was a broken down barn and an open-air hay structure. Continuing the legacy of the land, the Golds decided to create an artisan cheesemaking facility there. After completely renovating the barn and hay structure, as well as building a brand new barn to house their cheesemaking facility, they moved in with their Brown Swiss cows.
Today the Golds produce a range of dairy products as well as soaps and lotions. Focusing on quality rather than quantity, they adhere to a range of sustainable farming practices, such as recycling whey to feed their pigs, supplementing feed grain with spelt wheat from a local distillery, and keeping fertilizer and antibiotic use to a bare minimum. So that the cows are able to roam freely, they never house more than 35 at a time.
Head cheesemaker and gourmet chef Fernando Chavez-Sandoval, known for his creativity and experimentation with new recipes, is responsible for the production of Gold Creek Farm's line of award-winning cheeses. Cherry Sage Cheddar is a flavored version of his Aged White Cheddar, which is matured for over a year. The curd is mixed with locally grown Utah cherries and the farm's own sage.
Tasting Notes
Cherry Sage Cheddar has a firm, crumbly, yellow paste that's speckled with dots of red and green. Aromas are reminiscent of thanksgiving dinner, while flavor is bright, sweet and mild with only faint notes of cherry and sage.
Pair it with a full-bodied wine such as a Bordeaux.

You'll be slicked up and ready for pleasurable, comfortable play with the help of the Lube Shooter,
Goes Great With This
You'll be slicked up and ready for pleasurable, comfortable play with the help of the Lube Shooter, which delivers your lubricant of choice internally. Finally all the lube goes where you need it -- not on the sheets or squeegee-ing off the dildo as you insert it! Great for solo or partnered vaginal or anal play, and useable with most lube types. Particularly useful and recommended for anal penetration. The package includes three shooters (can be washed manually or in the dishwasher and re-used) plus one plunger (not dishwasher safe) and one rubber end cap which allows you to pre-load a shooter before play. Just fill the tube, remove the rubber end cap, and gently depress plunger to remove air; when the lube emerges from the tip, gently insert the Lube Shooter and slowly depress plunger to dispense lube.

This is a MUST have if you are a beginner with anal play. It makes it much easier and enjoyable.
I'm post-menopausal but still active many times each week, recently expanding the repertoir to delicious anal. I bought this shooter anticipating my first anal experience, and it did the job of completely lubricated -- allowing an entirely enjoyable initiation. Easy to wash thoroughly between uses. I keep it loaded in my bedside drawer so we don't dimiish the mood with mechanics. The little rubber cap keeps everything clean and neat until ready for use.
But I've also found it improves vaginal sex, since it shoots the lube up there nice and deep. Makes things a lot less messy and eliminates any chafing even with those first deep thrusts. Thus I return to order a second set.
But WHY oh WHY only one plunger with the three tubes???
It makes action smoothly As Live Chart's help,gel is thicker and last longer than other water-based lubes. So my bf's in and out action last longer too. I do not try Silicone, which is preferred by people who like thinner lubes. it is easy to clean than silicone.
This is the perfect item to put lube where you want it. My wife and I use it with Slippery Stuff. It is so easy to use for all kinds of places. We keep it loaded, and use it as part of our preplay. Clean up is simple and easy, take apart, allow to dry, or just use one of the others.
Love the product, but wish the maker would package plungers with all the syringes. I like to 'preload' this product with my lube of choice so I am ready for the moment - well, I discovered if it sits too long silicon based lubes 'melt' the plunger - so what good are the other syringes? I suppose water based lubes won't do this, but silicon does..bummer as I like that the best (I like to play a long long time as does my partner). So im back to loading (and sometimes spoiling the moment) as needed. Just wash carefully with a good mild soap, dry and put away and it will last longer. I know its marketed as a disposable product, but Id like to get more than two or three uses out of each. Other than that - love the product!
We use one shot that is just in the butt and another deep. That keeps things lubricated for long enough to get the job done. Terrific!
This is a game-changer for butt play.
I've also been somewhat surprised and horrified by the sharp-looking applicators that come with yeast infection treatments. While I'm a man and therefore haven't used them, this is WAY smoother and the plunger forms a perfect, non-leaky seal, so this has got to be about a thousand times more comfortable and less messy.
We still love making love, even though she doesn't have enough natural lube these days. This shooter gets the lube where we need it, and avoids much of the mess. Already used scores of times and not need for new ones.
Best value ever in our toy drawer.
Being menopausal & in need of estrogen cream, I have found this to be much easier to use than the applicator that comes with the cream. I am sure to use the prescribed amt of the hormone cream. Of course, it can be used to place lube inside.

September 30, 2010-Stepping off the Edge of the World
This time for keeps.
We're in the Mentawai Islands half way down the west coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. Out here there are few people and nothing but wild, untouched islands and big surf and to the west of us lies only the vast ocean. There is no convoy of yachts waiting to depart with us. We are alone.
This is the edge of the world.
The time to depart for Africa is near. Just one more look at the weather forecasts and we can weigh anchor and head south to the Trade Winds.
And take a right turn.
Twenty four hundred miles to Rodriguez Island in the Southern Indian Ocean. It's the big hop.
Are we ready?
Yeah, it rained last night and we filled the water tanks. Yesterday we visited a small town out here and bought a little more diesel so those tanks are topped off too and we found some veggies and got a couple of chickens for the freezer. In Pedang the day before we finished other preparations: the gas bottles were filled, the new radio tuner was installed and is working, the alternator was rebuilt and is working, all the provisions we can fit were stored aboard. We even bought a few kilos of Sumatran coffee direct from the roaster. We are about as ready as we will ever be.
How about the crew?
Judy and I and our great crew member Pierre are healthy and optimistic and anxious to get on with it.
It's time to get going, time to take that step off the edge of the world.
We can't post links or photos from the HF Radio system we are using to post this, but you can go to wingssail-images (see link at the top of the page) and see the photos we posted from Pedang.
We'll write more later.

Steve Martin let Alec Baldwin get most of the laughs in "It's Complicated" and even gave him the last word in during their co-Oscar-hosting stint.
His next comedy competition will come from Jack Black and Owen Wilson, if he signs on for "The Big Year." The Hollywood Reporter states that the comic-actor is in talks to play one of three men trying to outdo each other in a competition to spot the rarest birds in North America.The rivalry is an allegory for the challenges each faces in his own life.
More Martin is always a good thing and this quirky project seems perfect for him. The movie is based on a 1998 book "The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature and Fowl Obsession." Not the type of book you'd expect to be adapted into a screenplay, but David Frankel of "Marley and Me" (which also starred Wilson) will direct the project.
Filming begins in May in Canada.

La Boheme
- Royal Opera House
For the perfect combination of charm, melody and emotional power, you can't do better than this Puccini classic - La Bohéme. It is one of the most widely loved of all operas. Full of great music and great characters.
This production for The Royal Opera House was created nearly forty years ago by John Copley and has a become a classic. It is the tragic love story of Mimi and Rodolfo in Paris in the 1830s.
The two lovers meet one cold Christmas, and are instantly warmed by their immediate attraction. But as misunderstandings and illness torment them, shared love turns to tragedy.

Paul Ryan reboots
SAN ANTONIO — This is Paul Ryan's interregnum — and he's making the most of it.
More than a year after he and Mitt Romney failed to topple Barack Obama, and a year away from deciding whether he'll seek the White House again, the Wisconsin Republican is beginning to sketch the outlines for the next stage of his career — whatever it might be.
Story Continued Below
Lingering over the 44-year-old is an unavoidable — and perhaps unanswerable — question: What's next? Ryan says he doesn't want to be speaker of the House, he has given mixed messages about his desire for a high-profile chairmanship and is leaving the door open for a White House run in 2016.
In the meantime, Ryan is sifting through the lessons of his political past to shape a new persona. The 15-year House veteran seems resolute about a mission with an uncertain ending. The Wisconsin Republican is, in part, betting that incrementalism — legislative half-steps toward conservative solutions — is the best look for Republicans in a divided Washington. The recent budget agreement is a perfect example. The Ryan who wanted to remake America is now trying on modesty.
( Also on POLITICO: Paul Ryan: No new ideas in speech)
Ted Cruz he's not.
The brand Ryan is cultivating is deliberate, serious and aims to be inclusive of other political parties and voters who haven't considered Republicans. While other high-profile Republicans seem to hold at arm's length the Washington in which they serve — namely Sens. Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky — Ryan seems to be relishing the rough and tumble.
"The frustration of the first six months of 2013 was knowing what the 200-day plan we had envisioned and then seeing what actually occurred — it's like looking at two different countries," Ryan said to a group of chambers of commerce. "From a conservative, it was very frustrating. But what do you do when you get knocked down? You get back up."
A recent swing through the Lone Star State was a perfect demonstration of the image he's trying to project. He spoke to a group of chambers of commerce about bipartisan approaches to budgeting and immigration. He visited a ministry to learn about how they help heroin addicts — part of his push to inform Republican Washington of successful nongovernment programs.
( Also on POLITICO: Paul Ryan doesn't want to be House speaker)
But like many other Washington figures, Ryan has baggage. Democrats sought to portray his budgets as overly harsh — and they've often succeeded. Since 1998, he has proposed significant changes to social programs and sharp reductions in federal spending. The bipartisan budget deal he helped craft this year included changes to military benefits, angering a significant pocket on the right.
"If Republicans once again follow Paul Ryan down his path of hurting the middle class and seniors by ending the Medicare guarantee and instead stacking the deck for special interests, they'll alienate even more independent voters and seniors," said Emily Bittner, a spokeswoman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "The best thing Paul Ryan could do to help hard-working families is to abandon his infamously devastating budget proposal and work with Democrats on common-sense jobs proposals."
Democrats say that Ryan brings in piles of cash — for them. The DCCC had one of its best online fundraising drives in the 24 hours after Ryan spoke at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.
( PHOTOS: Paul Ryan through the years)
But another part of Ryan's modern political portfolio is fundraising for Republicans. He is bringing in tons of cash for his party.
Since entering the House in 1999, Ryan has been the antithesis of a political animal, preferring budgets to back-slapping. But over the past year, Ryan has quietly emerged as one of the most prolific — and dedicated — House Republican fundraisers.
In 2013, he touched down in 17 states — as far-flung as Florida and California — to raise $3.8 million for the party's most endangered lawmakers. He's done 14 fundraisers for the National Republican Congressional Committee in the past year. As part of his Texas trip, Ryan swung through Fort Worth to continue his quest of raising piles of money for House Republicans at an event for the NRCC.
Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor are prolific fundraisers, but party leaders say Ryan sticks out as particularly effective. Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio), the party's fundraising chairman, said Ryan is "universally known." Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.), the party's campaign chief, said Ryan is in a "league of his own" when it comes to fundraising.
"He generates unparalleled enthusiasm for events across the nation," Walden said in an emailed statement. "He brings considerable resources and commitment to help the team."

The World of Wu-Yu
Civil war and social upheaval have left communities starving, dispossessed, and lost. Many have been forced into wandering, doing odd-jobs in order to fill their bellies. The challenges of the day include not only merciless lords and unscrupulous brigands, but also hunger and disease. At the same time, it is also an age of opportunity, when resourceful spirits can rise from the ashes, and the bravery of a few can change the course
