This mini-album from Calgary via Edinburgh eight-piece Woodpigeon follows their most successful full-length album to date, the wonderfully lush, simultaneously Tom Petty- and Sufjan Stevens-infused Die Stadt Musikanten, and while they will always have a place in festival-goers hearts for bringing to light the genius of Scots songwriter Withered Hand via their stunning renditions of his miraculous 'No Cigarettes' anthem, accusations of copycat-ism have plagued them somewhat through the years.
So while they do lean towards Elliott Smith or (more easily achieved) Iron & Wine territory – lands clearly demarcated with flags of whispered vocal, fences of honeyed instrumentation and, er, skies of sadness – this EP appears to be at least a minor departure for songwriter Mark Andrew Hamilton.
Basing the EP around the tapes his parents would play relentlessly on road trips when he was a boy in the '70s, these are markedly smoother, more radio-friendly tracks than he's delivered before. The fact that the title track itself sounds just like an easy listening FM radio hit of the aforementioned decade doesn't harm matters thematically.
Compact, chiming tunes like 'Winnebago' closing with the cry of a self aware nostalgist "Your sigh just made me weep/Can't put my bygones where bygones oughtta be" and the naïve, overly simplistic ode to lovers past 'By Lamplight' add to the impression that this is a record of pure intent – but that the intention may be straight-out sentimentalism.
'Are You There, God? It's Me, Mark' has the best title of the year so far and is a dramatic piece of chamber pop most reminiscent of their "old" sound. This is countered by the excellent 'One to Many' – boasting the clearest, most intimate vocal performance of the set and swiftly dismissing the past in favour of an unpleasant present and an uncertain future with the damning "Here there's no do-overs, no retakes my dear/And we'll talk about next to nothing now". It's like a record arguing with itself about what it wants to be, and thus instantly memorable.
'Are You There, God? It's Me, Mark' aside, the instrumentation and arrangements of the rest of the tunes here seem much more geared to potential populism, less to being self-consciously rural or pointedly indie.
Though the closing reinterpretation of the opening track accommodates an unsubtle middle eight with more grace than the original it still feels like a bit of a let down – following 'One to Many' we're ready for another killer blow, but get a little pat on the back instead.
Woodpigeon, then, have wrung plenty out of just five songs here – evocative, effective and sometimes wonderful, most importantly a step, however small, out from under the shadow of their influences.

Video: Police Drag Man Out of School Board Meeting For Not Wearing a Mask
"You will have to tase me."
Video Screenshot
A video out of South Dakota shows a man being dragged by police out of a school board meeting because he is not wearing a mask.
During a discussion about the school district's mask mandate, local resident Reed Bender refused to wear a mask after being ordered to do so by Superintendent Joe Graves, who subsequently called the police.
Officers attempted to convince Bender to put on a mask but he refused, telling them, "You're gonna have to drag me out, guys."
"This is what you are doing, you're sowing discord within our communities at every level, it's disgusting," Bender tells the school board members.
Bender repeats his assertion that the cops will have to drag him out while another attendee comments, "This is completely absurd…this is an embarrassment to our school."

The cops then try to drag the man out of the library as he puts up resistance.
One of the officers then grabs his taser, to which Bender responds, "You will have to tase me in front of all these people."
"This is insane," another attendee comments as Bender is removed from the room.
"Never in my entire career as a superintendent have I had that happen before," Superintendent Graves said. "The board said there is a masking mandate and everyone in the school building must wear a mask. We gave the gentleman fair warning of that and offered him a mask. He refused, so the board had to enforce the mandate."
Police say that Bender hasn't yet been charged with anything but they are still investigating the case.

Help....Can't decide on which brand nerf bars?
Discussion in '2nd Gen. Tacomas (2005-2015)' started by baldtaco, Mar 11, 2008.
So, I am looking on ebay at all the different nerf bars and to be honest I don't know one from another. Is there anything I should be looking for? Which are the best brands? Some are chrome and some are polished stainless, does it matter? One dude has a set of Westins for $100 bucks, are Westins any better or worse than the others. How much did you guys who do have them end up paying and where is the best place to look?
Wow thats a lot of questions isn't it.
Dude $100.00 for westins is a good deal. I've heard several times that Westin provides a quality step bar. I personally liked the N-Fabs, but they did not make one for the access cabs and it cost way more. But yeah, you cant go wrong with Westin, according to buddies of mine with diff. Trucks... Just be sure to know your options.
Polished stainless: I got these, high shine, and if maintained will stay that way for a while.
Also; There are signature and platinum series, just depends on your wallet. I personally think signature will get the job done.
Westins are good - I had a set on my 96 tacoma. They were great until I went offroading and got high centered and bent them up pretty good.
If you plan on doing any offroading - perhaps you should look at some rock sliders (with steps) instead.
I really like the Romik step bars... not cheap but they are like the n-fabs, just a little different from what everyone else has. Still, I'm so cheap I squeak when I walk so the $$ thing is hard to overcome.
I've had Westin Platinum on my last two trucks. They do mount up pretty high and are no lower than the frame. The platinum series in chrome plated stainless will take years of abuse. First, it's tough to knock off the chrome and then the stainless still looks good underneath. Personal opinion as there are a lot of good products out there.
These are on my truck. Polished Stainless.
I ordered mine unfinished since I've already got a lot of other metal to paint, but they can be ordered powdercoated straight from Shrockworks.
i'd put on a set of sliders- i'd bend a set of regular nerfs right off. if you want regular nerf steps, i'd definately go with polished stainless. rocks thrown from the front tires will chip the chrome and then they will get rusty. I do like the Nfab steps too, if i did steps they'd be my choice.
Thanks guys for all the input....now I have another question about grilles but I will just repost it as a new thread.

Dogs: Raw chicken meat linked to paralysis, according to study
Animal diseases, Headlines, Research
Feeding dogs raw chicken meat, particularly chicken necks, has been linked to a rare but potentially fatal type of canine paralysis.
A study led by the University of Melbourne's U-Vet Werribee Animal Hospital found the consumption of raw chicken meat increased the risk of developing the paralyzing condition acute polyradiculoneuritis (APN) by more than 70 times.
Image/TellySavalas via pixabay
Dr Matthias le Chevoir, chief investigator on the project said the cause of APN in dogs had baffled the veterinary community for a long time.
"It is a rare but very debilitating condition where the dog's hind legs first become weak and then may progress to affect the front legs, neck, head and face. Some dogs may die from the disease if their chest becomes paralysed," Dr le Chevoir said.
"Most dogs eventually recover without treatment but it may take up to six months or more in some cases. It can be difficult for owners to nurse their pet until the condition gradually improves.
"A better understanding of this condition is therefore very important, so our team was really pleased to have discovered that consuming raw chicken necks is an important risk factor for developing APN."
Paralysis results from the dog's immune system becoming unregulated and attacking its own nerve roots, progressively worsening over several days.
APN is the canine counterpart of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in humans, a condition that also causes muscle weakness and may require ventilation if chest muscles are affected.
Dr le Chevoir said the bacteria Campylobacter was now considered a triggering agent in up to 40 per cent of GBS patients, which is present in undercooked chicken, unpasteurised milk products and contaminated water.
Related: Pets: Raw meat diets pose a risk to both animal and human health
"Our team at U-Vet Animal Hospital wanted to understand if consuming raw chicken could also be triggering APN in dogs. Many of our team have previously worked overseas and know that a raw meat diet is less common there, so were intrigued by this potential connection," Dr le Chevoir said.
The team studied 27 dogs with symptoms of APN and 47 dogs without, examining physical symptoms and interviewing the owners about recent behaviours and diet; focusing on the consumption of raw chicken meat.
The study's lead author Dr Lorena Martinez-Anton said that when they examined fecal samples collected within seven days of the symptoms of APN appearing, they were 9.4 times more likely to have had a Campylobacterinfection than the control group without APN.

"We predict that the microbe Campylobacter is likely to be the reason for the dysregulation of the dog's immunity and therefore, the symptoms of paralysis," Dr Martinez-Anton said.
"These bacteriological results were consistent with the hypothesis that the uncooked chicken meat was the source of the Campylobacter and as a result, triggered APN.
"We find smaller dog breeds are fed more chicken necks as they can't eat larger bones.
In humans, it is proposed that the Campylobacter bacteria, which is commonly isolated from commercial poultry products, contains molecules similar in structure to part of the nerve cell. This similarity confuses the immune system which attacks the body's own nerves, resulting in paralysis.
Drs Martinez and le Chevoir said the fact that raw meat consumption could trigger such dramatic disease is concerning as there currently appears to be a growing trend for feeding dogs raw meat diets.
"A significant association is also found between APN and smaller dog breeds. Based on our clinical experience this seems to be because smaller dogs are more likely to be fed smaller bones like chicken necks," the doctors said in the research paper.
"We would recommend that owners choose regular dog food rather than chicken necks until we know more about this debilitating condition."

Haiti:
The Governor's Island Agreement – A Pact between the Defenders of Bourgeois Order
Jean Bertrand Aristide was elected president of Haiti on December 16, 1990, with 65 per cent of the vote – far ahead of the other candidates. Marc Bazin, a former World Bank official, who came in second, was supported by a powerful electoral apparatus and the U.S. government. Yet, he managed to win only 14.2 per cent of the vote. Aristide's result reflected the poor classes' veritable infatuation for this young opposition priest, who, with his simple, populist language, had built up a reputation for radical hostility to the Ton Ton Macoutes and the successive military regimes. Less than one year later, on September 29, 1991, Aristide was overthrown by a military coup. The coup was led by Raoul Cedras, the same man Aristide appointed to head the army. During the 10 months Aristide occupied the president's chair, he had preached "the marriage of the army and the peoples" to the Haitian masses, who continued to distrust the army.
Savage repression in the poorer neighborhoods followed the coup and continued at a lesser level for months and, in fact, continues up until today.
Aristide was allowed to leave Haiti. His supporters, the Lavalasseans, have since that time worked for his return to Haiti. Their name, which comes from the Haitian Creole word meaning "a big storm", describes the power of the movement which shook Haiti.
This is the background to the accord that was signed by Aristide and Cedras at the beginning of July on Governor's Island, New York City.
The following article deals with that agreement. It was written by militants of the Organisation des Travailleurs Révolutionaires (the Revolutionary Workers Organization), a Haitian Trotskyist group.
The general staff of the army, represented by Cedras, the leader of the coup, accepted Aristide's return. The date of his return, theoretically October 30, was set by Dante Caputo, the United Nations (U.N.) and Organization of American States (OAS) envoy. The general staff agreed to make this concession under international, or more exactly, U.S. pressure.
It was the only concession they made. Aristide gave in on everything else. The American press reported that up until the last moment Aristide hesitated to sign the accord, given the succession of indignities which were heaped on him. To save his honor, Aristide refused to meet Cedras personally. But upon his return, Aristide will not only have to meet, but regularly work with Cedras or other members of the general staff who were just as responsible as Cedras for the September 30 coup. The Lavalasseans, Aristide's followers, claim that Aristide is supposed to name a new military chief of staff. What a claim! – given that Cedras, before he led the September 30, 1991 coup, had been appointed as military chief of staff by Aristide himself. Moreover, when Aristide selects his new chief of staff, he can do it only from the high command, which includes only the four highest ranking generals, Biambi, Duperval, Max Mayard and Cedras himself, all of whom were equally responsible for the establishment of the military dictatorship.
Even before the negotiations began on Governor's Island, Aristide had given in to the military on the most important issue, agreeing to an amnesty for the entire army, despite the coup d'etat. He held out for expelling Cedras from the army and even the country. But he had already agreed to absolve the civilian and military officials for September 30. Cedras did not carry out the coup alone. He and Colonel Francois were not the only ones responsible for the massacre of the 3000 victims of repression. And, at the last moment, Aristide agreed that Cedras would not be forced to resign from his duties, but instead would "consider retirement."
The army, therefore, refused to offer even one scapegoat from its ranks. On the contrary, its leaders proudly asserted that they had been right to carry out the coup. They even utilized Cedras's cynical expression, that is, that the coup was a mere "democratic correction" of the Aristide regime. In signing the Governor's Island Accords, not only did Aristide absolve the army for its past coups. He also implicitly gave it the right to carry out future "democratic corrections" to regulate the functioning of the political system.
After October 30, the same army will be in place, with the same general staff, with the same hierarchy, with the same mad dogs. They will be in a position to overthrow Aristide on the day and hour that they decide. And they will have the tacit blank check which Aristide himself gave them.
The threat of a new military coup will serve as a justification, including for the Lavalassean leaders, to oppose all demands, even to disavow demonstrations supporting Aristide. "No provocations" in order not to provoke the coup leaders – this is how they will explain why the oppositionists must shut up. Without even intervening, the army general staff will permanently weigh on political life. This will not stop Aristide from discrediting himself anyway.
And Aristide has not even returned yet. He is forbidden to set foot on Haitian soil for four more months.
Today, they claim to recognize him as chief of state. He will be the one, officially, to name the new prime minister, who undoubtedly has already been chosen for him by the Americans. The prime minister, moreover, must still be accepted by the Parliament.
There is something surreal about this theoretical power called the Parliament and the Senate which is made up of nothing but a collection of doormats on which the whole military wipe their feet. However, these ridiculous people, trembling, who take themselves so seriously, do have a function. In pretending to increase the role of the Parliament, they diminish the role of the President of the Republic.
Look at how easily the army dismissed Aristide two years ago, despite the authority he then derived from having been elected president with the greatest support in the history of Haiti, and despite the fact, or so they accused him, of concentrating power in his hands, notably at the expense of the Parliament. This time around, even in official terms, he will have a diminished role. The prime minister will govern, and the Parliament will control the prime minister. Of course, the army, under the tutelage of the United States, will oversee everyone. And Aristide will no longer be the "elected" president, but the "rehabilitated" president, brought back thanks to the United States, as conservative publications like Haiti Observer remind us.
Of course, Aristide is once again president. His signature will still be needed on official acts. He was even given permission to express himself on the national airwaves. Being cautious, careful not to anger the army or the Macoutes, Aristide made his first declaration after the signing of the Governor's Island agreement on an American radio station. But the national stations agreed to replay his speech. He was not in the least aggressive toward the coup leaders. Instead he addressed the army, saying that he returns "to the people in the military the responsibility for guaranteeing everyone's security." It was a call that was well understood. On the very same evening as this call, in the name of maintaining order, the military attacked Lavalassean militants and sympathizers who were carrying out a demonstration and carrying pictures of Aristide. The president-priest had called on these "young Lavalasseans to seek reconciliation."
Why Has the United States Overseen Aristide's Return?
The recent accelerated pace of negotiations for Aristide's return was clearly the result of growing pressure from the United States. But many of the poor feel that it was also their victory.
There is some validity to this feeling of the poor masses. In Haiti, and more generally in this explosive region of the Caribbean and Central America, U.S. imperialism fears, in a basic way, the poor masses and their revolts. This is why American imperialism finds it so useful to be able to resort to someone like Aristide (or Juan Bosch in the Dominican Republic). But only as a last resort. If the Americans have now sped up the process of returning Aristide, it is precisely because the poor masses have finally been demobilized. While Aristide's return will be viewed as a victory – in a passive fashion – his return is not apt to be an encouragement to people to take up the struggle. The imperialist powers, even while acknowledging Aristide as chief of state, were in no hurry to push the military to accept his return, and they are even now delaying that return until October 30; the imperialist leaders want the change to be carried out gradually, so that the masses are not stirred out of their apathy.
While the Americans have supported Aristide's return, it was not out of respect for the wishes of the poor masses. The Americans did it in order to trick and demobilize them, and to avoid the danger which these hundreds of thousands of poor Haitians represented; racked by hunger, as they were, living in sub-human conditions and moreover terrorized by a bloody military dictatorship that grew harsher day by day.
Despite everything, Aristide still lives in the hearts of the poor masses of the population. In overseeing his return, the United States is trying to assume some of Aristide's credit with the masses, to use it to maintain order and stability in Haiti.
This is why the U.S. threw its weight into the bargain to convince the military to accept his return. The U.N decreed the blockade as another means to exert pressure. While certain sectors of the bourgeoisie profit, others suffer from the blockade. The military-political crisis brought about by the September 30 coup hurts business. That is why the meeting of political parties, which will give a parliamentary cover to the solution dictated by the United States, will be followed by a meeting of Haitian and American businessmen and representatives of the International Monetary Fund. They are interested in Haiti – above all – for its low wages. But for business to continue, there must be order. There must be social peace. This is what they demand of Aristide – that he guarantee order.
The Extreme Right Macoutes and the So-called Progressive Nationalists against American Interference
A civil mission, and soon an international police force, will be charged with guaranteeing the success of the transition period.
The civil mission is already there. Its members are not just sitting around the swimming pools of the big hotels where they are staying. Radio Metropole reports that they have organized meetings in several provincial towns, bringing together local authorities, officers and sub-officers of the local military bases, in order to convince them of the need for "democracy". At the end of the meetings, especially at Hinche, they distributed the Declaration of the Rights of Man to the army officers present. The officers must have appreciated this pedagogical effort at its true value. The results were a little less brilliant in other cities, such as Saint Jean Bosco or Cité Soleil, where the Lavalassean leaders brought the international observers, only to have them watch the army beating demonstrators. In the process, the observers themselves suffered many injuries.
As for the military mission, it is not yet in Haiti. The signatories and protectors of the Governor's Island agreement are very discreet on this subject. But they must bring together 1000 or so soldiers from Latin American countries, or perhaps from French-speaking countries, in order to guarantee that the transition is carried through to completion.
Will this military presence discourage eventual coup attempts by the most rigid sections of the Macoutes? Maybe, but even this is not at all sure. It certainly is aimed at demobilizing the poor masses by providing them with an argument: that is, that it is not worth it to do anything to protect Aristide when he returns, since troops are here to do that.
Meanwhile, the Macoute milieu uses the eventual presence of foreign troops as a nationalist cover for their congenital hostility toward Aristide. This is nothing new. For two years, the coup leaders, the extreme right-wing Macoutes and the drug dealers have all made great use of nationalist or black nationalist demagogy against anyone who meddles with their right to traffic in drugs or assassinate whomever they want on their home turf. This, of course, does not prevent them from depositing their stolen money inside the very imperialist country that they accuse of meddling, nor from begging it to recognize them.
Some so-called progressive nationalists, like Ben Dupuy or more generally those who float around Haiti Progress, also denounce foreign intervention as a way of distancing themselves from Aristide.
The poor classes certainly should not see these foreign troops as their friends and still less as their protectors, even if these troops are sent, officially, to protect Aristide's return. These troops, tools of U.S. policy, are just as much the enemies of the poor masses as is the Haitian Army.
But the verbal anti-imperialism of people like Ben Dupuy should not make us forget that these people did not protest at all, not to mention resign, when Aristide preached about the marriage of the army and the people from the National Palace. The progressive nationalists are just as responsible as the most moderate Lavalasseans for the mournful policy that disarmed the poor masses in the face of the army. And even today, in breaking with Aristide on a question of verbal anti-imperialism, these people continue to fool the poor masses by thus concealing the responsibility of the national state apparatus, of the national army in the repression. Their supposed anti-Americanism, even their supposed anti-imperialism, which is as far as their "progressive" political identity takes them, is totally rotten. Ever since the American occupation troops were withdrawn from Haiti 60 years ago, it has been "our" national state apparatus, "our" army, "our" political class which have been the principal instruments of imperialism.
This is why the workers, jobbers, unemployed, rural poor, the proletarians have nothing to expect from either those who signed the Governor's Island agreement, nor its noisy adversaries. This whole fight is between defenders of the bourgeois order. The real problem for the future is to know when and how the poor classes can begin to mobilize themselves and leave behind the politics of this little group, where all decisions are made against the poor classes and their interests.

Virago Modern Classics reveals 'Coming of Age' collection
Published May 4, 2012 by Benedicte Page
Virago Modern Classics will publish a "coming-of-age" collection in August as its moves to target young adults.
The collection of six books, published...
The collection of six books, published as hardbacks and with colourful and interlinked jacket artwork, will publish on 2nd August, each priced at £12.99.
There are five novels: Emma Donoghue's Slammerkin; Rosamond Lehmann's Invitation to the Waltz, first published in 1932; Miles Franklin's My Brilliant Career, dating back to 1901; Sarah Waters' Tipping the Velvet; and Rumer Godden's The River.
The last, set in India, is considered the most autobiographical of Godden's novels. It will be the first of 15 novels by the author to be published by Virago, after the publisher acquired rights to the titles last year.
Maya Angelou's 1969 memoir of her early years, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, is also included in the collection.
Slammerkin, Tipping the Velvet and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings have never before been available in Virago Modern Classics editions. It will also be Tipping the Velvet's first UK hardback edition.
The publisher said each of the selected books had been chosen "for its striking depiction of a time, a place, and of a young woman on the cusp of adulthood".
Commissioning editor Rowan Cope said: "We are trying to create a little collection that will showcase the best of Virago and mix up some names young people might be more familiar with, because they are quite recent, with others like Miles Franklin, which might be less familiar."
Cope said the publisher had had "great success" with previous designer hardbacks, and chose New York-based illustrator Mira Nameth for the latest offering because she "has done a lot of commercial magazine work and so has a look that's familiar to a younger readership".
Further Godden titles for adults and young adults are scheduled for 2013, as is a young adult series, The Tin Toys Trilogy, by Ursula Holden.

Manitoba, Canada brings back column addition!
In Manitoba, Canada, it's the start of a new school year, and a revised mathematics curriculum for their elementary school children.
All four standard algorithms have been put back in the curriculum (vertical addition with a carry, subtraction with a borrow, vertical multiplication and long division).
There is a specific requirement for times table memorization now.
Most of the language from the preamble, which describes the instructional philosophy, that disparaged practice or pencil-and-paper math has been removed. Language discussing the importance of practice, efficient computation and knowing math facts automatically was added.
WISE Math was founded in 2011 by mathematicians campaigning for improved mathematics education in schools in Western Canada, and who were subsequently involved in discussions with Manitoba's Deputy Minister of Education. To date, nearly 1000 people have shown their public support for this initiative. It's heartening to see a government education department paying attention to public concern and putting things right.
I'd like to remind everyone that this campaign also needs a strong voice, so please speak up! Leave comments and make our own Ministry of Education pay attention!

Steve Jobs: Insanely Great
by Jessie Hartland
School Library Journal Gr 8 Up-Hartland ably captures the many facets of entrepreneur and innovator Steve Jobs in this graphic biography. Jobs's entire lifespan is here, from his precocious childhood tinkering to his determination to see his final product, the iPad, through before his untimely death. In between, Hartland portrays Jobs in all his geeky, passionate, difficult glory. This work doesn't shy away from Jobs's demanding, perfectionist side, but it also portrays his delight in the "perfect product": an odd mixture that Hartland describes as Jobs's "reality distortion field." Apple is, of course, center stage, and readers will find the graphic representation of the evolution of various Apple products helpful. Hartland also covers Jobs's ouster from Apple in 1985, his development of the NeXT computer, and his work with Pixar. Throughout, panels depicting the latest technology (for instance, color TVs and digital watches in the late 1970s, cordless phones and the Sony Walkman in the 1980s) provide readers with a feel for competing products. The artwork is deceptively simple, at first blush appearing like the doodles of an average teenager, but these loose, expressive illustrations are detailed and convey large amounts of information. VERDICT Luddites and iFans alike should find this volume an illuminating introduction to Jobs's life and the recent history of consumer electronics.-Eric Norton, McMillan Memorial Library, Wisconsin Rapids, WI © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
School Library Journal Gr 5-8-A recounting of Jobs's life story is distilled through the context of the technological development that Apple helped advance. Loose and scrabbly artwork with handwritten narration makes the story accessible and informal. Jobs is portrayed as motivated to explore new challenges and readers are encouraged to innovate their own world accordingly. © Copyright 2016. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Publishers Weekly Harland brings the style of simple drawings paired with easy-to-digest facts she used in her first novel, Bon Appétit! The Delicious Life of Julia Child, to a breezy yet thorough illustrated biography of Apple pioneer Jobs. Beginning with his literal birth and following through the important moments of his life, Harland's take is both engaging and educational, though not especially demanding of the reader. The black and white art is unrefined but pleasant and contributes to the overall tone, which is effortlessly charming without being terribly enlightening or revealing. Harland uses the page layouts to full advantage, with maps, diagrams and call-outs galore. Though it's certainly informative for all ages, some readers will yearn for something with more depth and complexity in its execution, even as they whiz through the Richard-Scarry-for-grown-ups pages.

Book list Recently, there have been a multitude of biographies about Steve Jobs; author and illustrator Hartland adds to the collection with a unique yet informative look at the subject in this graphic biography. Covering his formative years challenging authority, to his time founding and then re-creating Apple, Hartland explains his life and the technology of his time while not shying away from Jobs' many eccentricities and erratic behaviors. Although there is always a smile drawn on Jobs' face, Hartland shows his many frustrations with technology, his anger toward his coworkers, and his hurt over his eventual cancer diagnosis. But her prose never judges his intentions or motives; she simply states the facts, providing a thorough history of a complex man. Hartland's signature squiggle style and handwritten text create a disarming, intimate view of the subject, as does the lack of any color. Like Job's innovative designs, her approach is sleek and simplistic, covering just what is needed while still standing out from the competition.--Blenski, Peter Copyright 2015 Booklist

A post shared by Ryan Seacrest (@ryanseacrest) on Jan 11, 2019 at 7:21am PST
Seacrest put it out in the universe after he announced on national TV that he is single and ready to go back to the dating pool, and possibly walk down the aisle.
He made this known during a discussion with his co-host, Kelly Ripa, on their show "Kelly and Ryan." Ripa told her colleague that she met her husband, Mark Consuelos, at a screen test held by Christopher Goutman.
The 48-year-old credits the producer with bringing her and Consuelos together. While Ryan tried to clarify the role Goutman played in the love story, his co-host insisted that if the screen test for the '90s show "All My Children" had not taken place, she might not have met the "Riverdale" star.

Armed with this information, Seacrest declared that the next time the award-winning producer holds a screen test, he should invite him over as he's unmarried and available.
Ordinary, the Georgia native statement won't cause much of a stir, but eyebrows were raised because the television host was spotted some days back on an outing with his ex-girlfriend, Shayna Taylor.
The former couple ended their relationship in February after dating for three years. During the outing, they wore casual outfits and appeared cozy.

The "ABC" TV host and the Shayna Kitchen owner first got together in 2013, after he ended his nearly two years relationship with Julianne Hough of "Dancing With the Stars."
They broke things off in 2014, and in 2016, the 44-year-old "E!" red-carpet host and the 27-year-old decided to give their love another chance.
Seacrest, aside from "Kelly & Ryan" also hosts the singing competition show "American Idols." He has fulfilled that role for years until he recently stepped away for someone else to host in his stead.

Bones also said the radio personality sent him sneakers and a thank you note as a way of showing his appreciation.
Seacrest is back to hosting the singing show among his other obligations, and hopefully, the universe will grant him his wish.

"Young America," a Twentieth Century-Fox film produced in 1941, was dedicated by the studio to "the thousands of 4-H Club leaders throughout the country." It was considered the first major motion picture ever produced portraying the objectives of Club work.
The feature film stars Jane Withers, Jane Darwell, William Tracy, Robert Cornell, Roman Bohnen and Ben Carter.
The "Young America" film's story is about a spoiled city girl Jane Campbell (played by Jane Withers) who is furious when her widowed father sends her to the rural town of Button Willow Valley to live with her grandmother, Nora Campbell (played by Jane Darwell). Jane and her black servant, Abraham, loathe their new surroundings, and while Abraham copes with Nora's helper, Pansy, Jane begins attending school. Jane's arrogance drives away all potential friends except for young David Engstrom, who nominates her for membership in the local 4-H Club. Jane, who has never heard of 4-H, is unimpressed when she learns how it promotes agricultural skills and good citizenship. Jane declines membership but changes her mind upon discovering that handsome Jonathan Blake is the club's president. Jane's interest in Jonathan dismays quiet Elizabeth Barnes, who is in love with him.
Elizabeth's weak-willed father tries to comfort her by promising to buy her a purebred Hereford calf for her 4-H state fair project, but he instead loses her money in a poker game held by shady entrepreneur Earl Tucker. When Barnes tells Earl about his dilemma, Earl obtains a mixed-breed calf, then forges papers certifying its lineage. Elizabeth is delighted with her calf, which she names "Royal Jonathan II," and happily tends to him as the months pass. Jane also chooses a calf for her project and names it "King Blake the First." Pansy and Abraham, who have struck up a quarrelsome friendship, know that Jane is interested in 4-H only as a means to ensnare Jonathan Blake in a romance, but Jonathan still courts Elizabeth. On the day of the fair, Jane has lunch with Earl, who intimates that she will win the contest because Elizabeth's calf is not purebred. Jane refuses to believe him but promises to buy his tractor with her prize money if she wins. Elizabeth wins, but Earl, desperate for the money, sends a telegram to the judges challenging Royal Jonathan's lineage. The calf's phony papers are exposed and Jane is declared the winner, but she is horrified by the proceedings, as Earl signed her name to the telegram. Barnes confesses all to his daughter, who protects him by refusing to explain the situation to the 4-H officials. Soon after, Elizabeth is suspended from the club, while Jane is ostracized by the other members for getting Elizabeth in trouble. Jonathan stands by Elizabeth, and the despondent Jane decides to return to the city. Before leaving, she sends Abraham to Earl's office to pay a bill, and while there, Abraham overhears two government agents question Earl about a man who is wanted for draft evasion. Abraham also overhears when a drunken Barnes tells Earl that he wants to reveal the truth about Elizabeth's calf. Abraham repeats the information to Jane, who captures the fleeing Earl and forces him to write a confession admitting full responsibility for the forged papers. The government agents then apprehend Earl, who is the draft dodger. Soon after, Elizabeth represents the club at a national 4-H meeting held in Washington, D.C., and says a fond hello to Jane and her fellow 4-H members during a radio broadcast.

Curtis Berry Wiki: Everything to Know about Dr. Jackie's Husband
By: Caroline John - Published: November 13, 2017 at 8:32 am
Photo: Paras Griffin / Stringer / Getty Images
Married to Medicine season 5 is getting intense for fans of Dr. Jacqueline "Jackie" Walters. Not long ago, it surfaced that Dr. Jackie's husband, Curtis Berry was having an affair. Find out about what Dr. Jackie has to say about her husband's cheating scandal in our Curtis Berry wiki.
He Couldn't Deny the Affair
Curtis Berry was caught red-handed cheating on Dr. Jackie some months ago. He was first spotted with a woman, who was not the celebrity doctor, at the South Carolina resort town of Hilton Head Island. The woman was revealed to be Natasha Pearson. They reportedly met at a party and hit it off.
As Berry tried to cover up the alleged affair, more photos of him with Pearson proved that he was two-timing his wife. He could no longer deny the affair when Pearson herself spoke to the media about it.
"He picked me up on that morning that we went to Hilton Head," said Pearson to Radar Online. "He made the reservation. We traveled down there together. We stayed in the hotel room for three days and two nights."
Pearson Revealed Intimate Details
In season 5 of Married to Medicine, Dr. Jackie is shocked to learn of her husband's affair when his mistress shared her side of the story to the media. Pearson described to Radar Online that she met the reality star's husband at a mutual friend's house.
"We had a few drinks and we began our dating right then," said Pearson, adding, "We had sex that night. We were at the friend's house, and he obviously goes there a lot. It was very comfortable. Curtis was someone I felt like I could talk to."
Pearson said that what they had was an "intense sexual relationship." They would rendezvous at hotel rooms that he requested be booked in her name. She also claimed he wanted her to lie about their relationship and cover up for him, saying he had different stories for his wife and for the media, and wanted her to go along with them.
"He wanted me to say that we met at a bar in Hilton Head, not that we met at Atlanta. He's making up a story in so many details. I told Curtis 'I cannot go along with it. I can't keep up with your lies for you. I'm not obligated to lie for you!'"
He Kept His Marriage a Secret from Pearson
In addition to revealing details about their affair, Pearson also disclosed that Berry never told her he was married, much less that his wife stars in a Bravo reality show. She only found out about his marriage to Dr. Jackie after photographic evidence of their affair hit the Internet.
"When I found out that he was married is when he called me and told me about the pictures," she said referring to the pictures in Hilton Head. "He was in a panic and told me 'I'm married, that's my wife on TV This is an f'ed up situation.' I honestly had no idea Curtis was married. I didn't even know that he was on TV."
Before the pictures surfaced, Pearson didn't know she was the "other woman" and caused the breakdown of a marriage. Despite lying to her as well, Pearson claims Berry didn't want to end their relationship.
"When he called to me to apologize after the pictures came out, he asked me, 'would it have changed anything?' if I knew he was married and I said 'absolutely!' He tried to tell me he didn't think it would have changed anything, that we still would have been seeing each other. But I told him 'absolutely not!'" Pearson ended their relationship and apologized to Walters.
Dr. Jackie Opened Up about the Scandal
The latest episode of Married to Medicine is finally revealing Dr. Jackie's thoughts on her husband's affair. The OBGYN was aware of her two-timing husband's deeds but was caught off-guard when the photos surfaced and Pearson went to the media.
The "humiliated" doctor said, "This is absolutely painful when you read this kind of information about your husband." Her castmates and fans have expressed their support for after she found out about Berry's affair.
Though their marriage is on pins and needles, Walters and Berry are trying to work on fixing their fractured relationship. "As doctors, we're trained to fix almost any situation. But there's no amount of medicine that can fix these marriages," says Walters.
Married to Medicine airs Fridays at 8:00 p.m. EST on Bravo.

IN ISSUE: LITERAL 11
Philosophizing Ennui
Jesús Silva-Herzog Márquez
We've invented a civilization of perpetual entertainment in order to keep the monster of boredom at bay. Our world is lined with sounds, so that we won't perceive the silent abyss. Games surround us, so we can stave off the anxiety of waiting. We kill time through ongoing, empty communications. A fight to the death against any idle moments. A fairly idiotic blog has even decreed the victory of technology over boredom. The argument is laughable: the tools and games of the new Nomad (iPod, Blackberry, GameBoy) have finally defeated tedium, that sinister nemesis of vivacity.
Lars Svendsen, a professor from the Norwegian city of Bergen, has published A Philosophy of Boredom (The University of Chicago Press, 2004). The mere thought of a Norwegian philosopher expounding on the phenomenology of boredom may seem like imminent torture: a slow death by run-on paragraphs of hermetic erudition. But in fact, it's quite the contrary. A text filled with humor and density; a fresh, sharp reflection. A Philosophy of Boredom is a book with all the grace and passion of a good metaphysical essay. The imprecision of the experience described therein finds its precise form in the essay's meandering. Svendsen does not go out in search of a definition; he presents a mosaic of sketches in order to gain a better understanding of the overwhelming nature of boredom. Thus, he wanders: from the germination of the word to its theology; from Samuel Beckett to the Sex Pistols; from the cinema of Cronenberg to the philosophy of Kierkegaard; from Andy Warhol's notebooks to Pascal's Thoughts.
Boredom, that vague, unimpulsive desire, is born out of criticism. It expresses deep dissatisfaction with everything that's going on, with all that one possesses, with existence itself. And the mother of modern boredom is a sin: acedia, an existential meringue that plagued religious orders. A slothful monk commits the deadliest of sins: he snubs the creator; he dares to despise him, judging his creation incomplete. Indeed, Svendsen makes much of the fact that at the French court, boredom was exclusively the king's prerogative. The monarch could yawn during a play or an audience, but no one else was allowed to show any signs of boredom in the monarch's presence. That would be equivalent to dismissing him as boring: unforgivable insolence. Because anyone can tolerate a bore. What's unbearable are those who find us boring.
Boredom is the hijacking of nonsense. "To suffer without suffering, to love without will, to think without rationale," as expressed by that spokesman of disquiet, Fernando Pessoa. In our time, boredom nests within the absence of personal meaning. Our Norwegian philosopher suggests that this is due to the fact that everything reaches us already codified, resolved, digested. But we also need to find our own meaning. "Man is a being who creates his own universe, a being who actively builds his world. But, if everything is ciphered and codified beforehand, the active constitution of the world turns out to be superfluous. Thus we lose the capacity for friction in our relationship to the world. We, the Romantics, require sense that is susceptible to being made on our own, and those who throw themselves into this task of self-realization confront, necessarily, the problem of meaning."
This burnout doesn't seem to have any solution. Neither the empire of fashion and its routine novelty, nor the artifacts that burn away time, are cures. They may even be quite the opposite: by depending on all of our gadgets, we confess our incapacity to individualize ourselves from our selves. Perhaps Joseph Brodsky will come to the rescue: instead of fleeing from boredom, we ought to embrace it. In a brief, but luminous essay, titled precisely "In praise of boredom," the Russian poet suggests that there is no encounter with time more profound in all its brutality, redundancy, and monotonous splendor than that which is experienced within the belly of boredom. Boredom is our window towards infinity.

How does the Simple Fee Payment Plan work?
The Simple Fee Payment Plan involves Legal Funding Australia paying the various disbursements on your behalf and a service fee is paid for this arrangement.
Under the Simple Fee Payment Plan, you would email a copy of the disbursement to us and we would pay the disbursement on your behalf, direct to the issuer of the invoice (either by EFT or cheque), within a 24 hour service level.
When the matter settles (or within 30 months of payment being made) you simply pay us back the amount of the disbursement plus a fee based on the amount of the disbursement.
The fee is then charged as a disbursement to the client and re-imbursed from the settlement proceeds.
There is no paperwork for the client to sign as we are providing a payment service to you direct and we are not dealing with the client.
The Service fee is based upon the amount of each invoice and it's really simple.
$1.00 – $999 = 0.50 cents per day until payment in full.
$1,000 – $1,999 = $1 per day until payment in full.
$2,000 – $2,999 = $2 per day until payment in full.
$3,000 – $3,999 = $3 per day until payment in full.
$4,000 – $4,999 = $4 per day until payment in full.
$5,000 – $5,999 = $5 per day until payment in full.
$6,000 – $6,999 = $6 per day until payment in full.
$7,000 – $7,999 = $7 per day until payment in full.
$8,000 – $8,999 = $8 per day until payment in full.
$9,000 – $9,999 = $9 per day until payment in full.
There are no other fees or charges payable under this payment plan.
There is no loan documentation required to be completed by or explained to your client. The relationship is purely between Legal Funding Australia and your firm and underpinned by a trade agreement between Legal Funding Australia and your firm.
The terms of the Simple Fee Payment Plan could be incorporated into your fee retainer with the client so that if we pay a disbursement on your behalf the client is made aware of the fees we charge by virtue of the retainer agreement.
Furthermore, your firm is not obligated to use a specific service provider for your reports/disbursements, and we will fund various types of disbursements, not just restricted to medical.
This latest Fee Model adds to the diverse range of lending products that Legal Funding Australia currently offer their law firm partners.
We understand that each case is different and may require specialised lending services.
The Simple Fee Payment Plan is in addition to our traditional Disbursement Funding Loan Product.
It is ideally suited for the cases with one or two disbursements, smaller disbursement amounts and where settlement is expected in the short term.

Beginner's Guide: How to get Music – Animal Crossing New Horizons
Now that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been out for some time, lots of players are sharing their favorite moments. Many of these are times when a good number of villagers come together and start singing or playing instruments. But how can you get this to happen on your own island? It can be a particularly frustrating experience if you dont know how the villagers function, especially when the answer is so simple. Heres how to get your Animal Crossing villagers to sing and play instruments together.
Playing Music On Your Stereo
quote LanDi SamaPerhaps I misunderstood but I was under the impression you could pick music to play on your stereo in your house? I finally bothered to get hold of a stereo for my house and put an mp3 on my 3DS, but it says on the stereo I have no music. The song plays fine on the 3DS music player though.Did I misunderstand? Or do you have to do something in order to play it?

Designing Your Own Tune
To change your island tune, you need to scroll along to each note and use the up and down analog inputs to change them. Press Y to play the tune as a whole and test it out. We recommend tweaking one note at a time, and working from there. If it's a specific tune you're going for, look up the notes for the music you're trying to copy. You'll be able to copy it using the in-game synthesizer pictured below. Note that the '?' block will add a random sound into your tune.

Dont Forget The Refreshments And Merch
If you create a second account on your Switch, you can use that account to visit your own island and your second avatar will get their own house, which you can turn into a café or bar, as we have. All those festival-goers will need refreshments, after all.
You can also use your Nook Miles to buy a Stall recipe, which, combined with some easy-to-create food court designs, can provide concert-goers with a wide range of refreshments. We also put Log Round Tables outside of our café and along the beach, complete with Coconut Juice and a Marimba for some downtime away from the main stage.
As well as a food court, you can use those stands to create a merch seller, with your headline act or festival name displayed. You might even want to design an official festival shirt and display the mannequin of that nearby.
How To Register Songs In Animal Crossing
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, songs have to be registered before you can play them on stereos. You first have to buy the music tracks, which are primarily found in the Nook Stop. Each song costs 3,200 Bells to purchase.
Heres how players will buy songs in New Horizons:
Approach a Nook Stop.
Press A to interact with it and select Nook Shopping.
In the Nook Shopping menu, select Special Goods.
Purchase the song available for the day.
Wait for a day to get the song in the mail.
Once you get the song, put it in your pocket.
Approach any stereo in your home.
Press the A button and open the music menu.
Move your cursor to Register and select the song in your pocket.
After you register the song, you can play it using any stereo in your home.
The registration process only works for new songs you havent registered yet. Duplicate tracks cannot be registered at all, as it would be pointless. However, duplicate tracks arent useless. You can hang them on your homes walls as decoration.
Songs from the Nook Stop make up the majority of the tracks. Some of them have to be given by K.K. Slider himself when he has a concert. This process is instant unless you have a friend over on your island, in which case the song will arrive the next day.
The songs only available via K.K.s concerts include:
Welcome Horizons
If you play the game on your birthday, you also get the K.K. Birthday track.

How To Play Kk Slider's Songs In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Once you've brought or been given a K.K. Slider single you can play it on any stereo, be it a tape deck or high-end stereo, in New Horizons.
First, however, you need to register the single in your music system. To do this interact with any stereo you own, this will open your music library.
Next select the option entitled 'Register' to open your inventory. From here you can select all the K.K. songs that you wish to add to your music library. You only have to register a song once to be able to play it from as many stereos as you like.
It should be noted that if you register a song, then you'll lose that copy of the single. This means that if you want to display that particular album in your house, you need to obtain another copy of that single.
You can place stores both in your house and around your island, which means that you might catch a villager singing along to a K.K. song!
Requesting Songs From Kk
K.K. Slider Secret SongsDrivin'Animal CityFarewell
If a song is requested specifically, and is spelled correctly, K.K. Slider will give you a copy of the song to place in your record players. If the song is not spelled correctly, he will instead play a random song and apologize after its conclusion, and you will need to wait a week before you can request a song again.
This is an interactive list:

Getting Kk Slider Songs At The Saturday Concerts
1Finish the main storyline and get a three-star island. You need to do this if you want to have K.K. Slider perform on your island. If you keep checking in with Isabelle and improving your island, you should have three stars in no time.
2Have K.K.Slider perform the first concert. Wait until after he finishes playing the song, then open up your inventory. You should now have a copy of the K.K. Slider song "Welcome Horizons."
Remember that this concert will be the day after you reach a three-star island, not on a Saturday like most of his concerts.
3Wait until the next Saturday. After his first concert, K.K. Slider will visit your island and perform a concert the following Saturday. While he will be on your island the whole day, you will need to wait until 6:00 pm before he starts taking requests.
If you don't want to wait, you can always time travel.
4Talk to K.K.Slider and select "Give me that one song". You should now see a screen where you can type in any K.K. Slider song you want to hear. The K.K. Slider song you choose is the one you'll get, so choose one you don't have yet.
Be very careful with the spelling. For example, if you want the song "Rockin' K.K.", you need to type it with the spelling and grammar exactly the same, or he will not recognize which song you want.
5Wait for him to finish playing the song. If K.K. Slider recognized your song, the song he is playing should sound a bit like the song, though it may differ a bit, so don't worry if it isn't exact.
Did You Know That You Can Play Random Songs At Home

How To Play Kk Music In Animal Crossing

Slider wants to visit the next day. Note that this first visit works every day, so you dont have to wait until Friday.
Once you get the island to three stars and Saturday arrives, follow these steps to ask him to play:
After increasing your ratings, wait until K.K. Slider arrives.
K.K. Slider will play his first song here, Welcome Horizons.
After talking to your post-concert, the game will send you home.
When you arrive, Tom Nook will be in your home with a copy of Welcome Horizons and an Island Designer App.
Every Saturday after this, you can expect K.K. Slider to come and take requests.
On the following Saturday, K.K. Slider will come to your island again.
Throughout the day, he plays random songs.
At 6 P.M., he starts taking requests.
When you talk to him, you get to choose from three options.
Choose an option and sit down as he starts singing.
Repeat until he leaves.
Hell give you a recording of the first song he played that day.
The three options are:
Ill leave it up to you!
This option lets K.K. Slider choose whichever track he wants to play. Since hes already playing music before you even arrive, he continues playing what he has been singing.
K.K. Slider will pick a song according to your mood. The tracks are still random but within your chosen category.

In fact, a common feature suggestion weve seen going around since launch two months ago has been the ability to select your own pick of hourly music from all past Animal Crossing games! This feature could easily take place through a Music app on your NookPhone for example.

But until the glorious day where that becomes reality in a potential update, the hacking community has this matter covered with a number of different modifications allowing for easy replacement of the music files in Animal Crossing: New Horizons with past game tracks.
These modification hacks have been created for the original Animal Crossing on GameCube, Animal Crossing: Wild World / City Folk on DS / Wii , and Animal Crossing: New Leaf on 3DS meaning all major games are included!
Its honestly quite a strange experience, but in a very good way, to see gameplay of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and its sound effects overlaid with the background tracks of these classic titles from long ago.

Villagers Congregate Around The Town Square
One thing youll learn quickly is how distance from the town hall matters. Its incredibly rare to see a group of villagers elsewhere on the island. Sure you may see one or two strolling your paths or the island grounds, but they wont really group up like they do on the town square.
Even if youve built an entire amphitheater elsewhere on the island, just waiting for a performance, youll likely still see villagers just standing in the square, singing their default song.

Kk Slider Song List And Requests Guide
K.K. Slider is a traveling musician who has performed songs with his guitar in every version of Animal Crossing he is a special, non-playable character who makes his return in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Unlike previous games, K.K. Slider will not appear in your town automatically in New Horizons. Instead you will need to raise the popularity and rating of your island, and help out Tom Nook with a variety of tasks to attract his attention.
Once you have fulfilled all of Tom Nook's requests, and achieve a Town Evaluation of 3 Stars, K.K. Slider will begin appearing at your town's plaza every Saturday (or Friday if there is already an event planned for Saturday.
K.K. Slider will set up an area full of chairs for villagers to sit and listen to him sing random songs – but he will not take requests for a specific song until 6PM or after. During this time, a player can request that he play a specific song, a song to fit a certain mood, or a song at random.
When Does The Music Change
How to get music in animal crossing new leaf
For the first few days in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you simply wont have the option to change the music. Unlike previous games that had hourly shifts in the tunes, the main theme is pretty much everywhere this time around. And you cant switch it up right at the beginning of the game. Instead, the option unlocks once you have upgraded Resident Services, which we explain how to do here.
The process will take a few days, even if you dedicate yourself to checking the objective boxes that are involved. Once you have checked those boxes and Resident Services is upgraded, Isabelle will show up and youll actually start getting different music in the background . Just be sure to save and quit to refresh the game. She is also the key to the next question of how to change the music in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, if you want to mess with the Is and Tune.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Background Music Guide
by Ashley Shankle
If your design philosophy in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is anything like mine, you want control over visitors' experiences on your island to a certain degree. I enjoy playing with visitors' perceptions of an area via perspective and the use of sound, particularly background music.
The normal background music in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is decent enough, but it doesn't have that "it" factor many K.K. Slider tracks have that make them fun to listen to which is why I like to set background music for each key area on my island.
For some island decorators, just plopping one of the many stereos down and turning it on is enough. For others more interested in keeping up the aesthetic and sound of an area or the entire island, setting down stereos becomes a whole project.
If you get serious about laying some sound around your island, you need to know which stereos you should be using for the best effects and how to place them discreetly but effectively.
Get 8 Residents To Reach 2
To reach the island rating level of 2, you need to have more than 8 villagers living on your island. There are several ways to increase the number of animals living on your island. Before inviting people over, make sure you set down enough plots for animals to live in by using housing kits.

How To Unlock Kk Slider In Animal Crossing: New Horizons Explained
K.K. Slider is the white guitar playing dog who has appeared in every game in the Animal Crossing series. You'll have heard his music when playing the various stereos you can find, visiting villager's homes or you might have purchased a couple of his records from the Nook Stop.
Due to his travelling nature, K.K. Slider will only visit your island once a week, but, in New Horizons, you have to make your island worth the visit first.
To do this you need to raise your island's star rating to three-stars to finally convince this special dog to visit.
Once you've achieved this, Isabelle will receive a note from K.K. expressing how he's heard your island is a nice place to visit. Tom Nook will then be able to invite the musical dog to come and play on your island for a concert, which will occur the next day.
Now all you have to do is eagerly await K.K.'s arrival!

The Housewives React To Dennis Shields' Death & It's Just As Sad As You Think
by Connie Liou
With 11 seasons and counting, the women on Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City are used to putting their lives on display for the world to see, no matter how delicate the subject. In Aug. 2018, Bethenny Frankel's on-and-off boyfriend, Dennis Shields died. Since RHONY was filming, the Bravo team caught a few of the Housewives' reactions to Dennis Shields' death on film. And the reactions are nothing short of heartbreaking.
The Housewives star and Dennis dated in 2016 following Bethenny's divorce from Jason Hoppy. Fans of RHONY might remember their relationship, as it was documented on the Bravo series early on. And while the couple eventually split, Bethenny and Dennis stayed close friends.
"They had a 27-year friendship before they dated so they picked that up where they left off once they realized they didn't work as a couple," a source previously told People.
According to Us Weekly, the New York banker died in his Trump Tower apartment from a suspected overdose. Dennis was 51 at the time. Three days after his death, Bethenny shared a photo of Shields beside her dog, Cookie, who died a year earlier. She captioned the photo, "Rest In Peace my sweet babies who gave me endless unconditional love. #nowandforever."
Following the news of Dennis' death, Bethenny's RHONY co-stars also offered their support.
"This is heartbreaking," Sonja Morgan told Radar Online. "I spoke to Bethenny yesterday to say I was going to Coast Rica, in case she wanted to come and get away. She's been working so much."
Meanwhile, Carole Radziwill went to Twitter. "I just heard the sad news about Dennis," the Bravo star wrote. "He was a good man. My condolences to all his family and friends. So tragic."
When speaking to Entertainment Tonight about Season 11 of RHONY, Luann de Lesseps also that this would be a difficult season for both of them. But, the women would see them support one another.
"I'm there for Bethenny, and she's been there for me in a big way," Luann said. "When you have traumatic things like that happen in your life, girlfriends support you and that's what you're gonna see. You're gonna see support… and then you're gonna see whatever is going to unfold as usual on the Housewives."
Heidi Gutman/Bravo
It wasn't until the start of RHONY Season 11 that fans got a glimpse of how Bethenny was doing after Dennis' death onscreen. In the premiere, Bethenny shared how she learned about Dennis' passing.
"Tyler, his daughter, called me hysterically crying, and she said, 'My dad died this morning,'" she said. "And I started screaming into the phone."
Bethenny also shared how she felt the moment she found out, even recounting the whirlwind of thoughts that went through her head.
"I've never in my life experienced this moment, this feeling, this hysteria," she said, per Bravo. "Let's figure out what happened. Let me put the pieces of the puzzle together. Someone tell me how bad they feel, his daughter, his son, he was doing this last week. He wrote me 50 texts, he wanted to marry me, I have a ring on my finger. He's dead. It doesn't matter. He's gone. There's nothing to say."
Peter Kramer/Bravo
However, not all of the Housewives castmates had great initial reactions to Dennis' death. In the Mar. 20 episode of RHONY, Ramona Singer made a comment criticizing Dennis' intelligence due to drugs. She quickly went on record on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen to explain that she didn't recall saying what she said on the show and texted Bethenny and cleared the air.
"I was so upset," Ramona said. "I was mortified. I cried. I was like, oh my god, oh my god, I couldn't believe this. And I texted her and I just said, 'I don't even know what to say. I'm so upset.'"
The RHONY star also apologized before the episode aired on Bravo. "I cringed when I saw what I said about Dennis in tonight's episode," Ramona wrote on her Twitter. "It definitely wasn't one of my finer moments. I respected and liked him very much and I sincerely apologize to his family and Bethenny for my thoughtless comments."
Regardless of what was said in the past, fans will be happy to hear that the RHONY cast has come together to support Bethenny during this difficult time. And moving forward, fans will see Bethenny continue to deal with Dennis' passing in upcoming episodes of Season 11.
The Real Housewives of New York airs Tuesdays on Bravo.

Supreme Court Rules Dash Cams Pertaining to Criminal Investigations Are Not Subject to OPRA
Posted in OPRA Cases, OPRA Q&As, Police records
This week, the New Jersey Supreme Court issued a split decision (4-3) in Paff v. Ocean County Prosecutor's Office and once again ruled that dash camera videos that pertain to criminal investigations are not subject to the Open Public Records Act (OPRA).
While the decision is a serious disappointment to transparency advocates, it does not actually change the status quo. Last year, in North Jersey Media Group Inc. v. Township of Lyndhurst, a unanimous Supreme Court ruled that the dash cam video of a police-involved deadly shooting was not subject to OPRA because there was no Attorney General (AG) guideline or other law (statute, regulation, etc.) that required it to be made or maintained.[1]
The Court made it clear in Lyndhurst, however, that dash camera videos of police shootings should generally be released under the common law right of access within a few days of an incident. The AG subsequently issued a directive requiring their release within 20 days.
In Lyndhurst, the Court specifically said that it was not answering the question presented by Paff (which was pending on the Court's docket): whether a directive by a local chief of police could satisfy the "required by law" standard, just as an AG directive does. Thus, the Paff case became a new opportunity for transparency advocates to convince the Court that dash camera videos are accessible under OPRA.
Unfortunately, the Court rejected that argument and thus the law remains the same: dash camera videos are only available under the common law right of access. But, it was a very close decision (4-3). Justice Albin wrote a biting dissent, which Justice LaVecchia and Justice Timpone joined, concluding that "[i]n the wake of today's majority opinion, the operations of our government will be less transparent and our citizenry less informed, which may lead to greater misunderstanding and more distrust between the public and the police."
We think Justice Albin's assessment is right and we hope that the Legislature or the Attorney General will accept his invitation for action:
In accordance with Lyndhurst, the Attorney General or the Legislature can undo the damage caused by today's decision. The Attorney General can adopt a statewide policy that addresses whether and how police video recordings are made and maintained, as he did with Use of Force Reports.
The public -- particularly marginalized communities -- will have greater trust in the police when law enforcement activities are transparent.
The public pays for the dash cameras. Why can't we see the videos?
What Videos are Still Available?
Dash Cam Videos Relating to Crimes: These are probably not available under OPRA in most circumstances, but generally should be available under the common law per Lyndhurst.
Dash Cam Videos of Police Using Deadly Force: Same. Also, AG Directive 2018-1 requires disclosure under the common law within 20 days if the video depicts a deadly shooting or an incident where police use force that results in "serious bodily injury."
Dash Cam Videos of a DWI: A DWI is not a crime, so these should generally be available under OPRA.
Dash Cam Videos of Traffic Stops: These should generally be available, unless the traffic stop turns criminal.
Body Camera Videos: We think these should be subject to OPRA because an AG Guideline requires them to be maintained. At the same time, the AG Guideline attempts to exempt body cam videos relating to criminal investigations. We have this issue pending on appeal.
Security Camera Videos: The Supreme Court ruled in 2016 that security camera videos are not subject to OPRA, but access should be granted under the common law where a person states a sufficient interest in the video.
PSWH partner CJ Griffin submitted a brief on behalf of several amicus curiae and participated in the nearly three-hour oral argument. Griffin has litigated dozens of police records cases, including Lyndhurst. Contact CJ at cgriffin@pashmanstein.com
[1] A criminal investigatory record is a record that is 1) held by a law enforcement agency; 2) pertain to any criminal investigation and 3) are "not required by law to be made, maintained, or kept on file."

I like mushrooms. I like them on a burger, I like them in a salad. I even like them on steak and any number of other ways they can be prepared and consumed. Where I don't like them is in my yard!
It's a tough balance between watering enough to keep my yard from dying and watering too much, which creates a heaven for 'shrooms. What's worse is no matter how hard I work to pluck those little buggers out if my neighbor isn't quite as diligent, they are sure to come back again.
Last night we had some (much needed) rain which seemed to be the trigger for some dormant mushrooms to raise their ugly heads. This morning the backyard was speckled with white domes, which caused me a minor bout of anger leading to quick depression. I hate pulling the things, but that is really your only option.
'Shrooms are feisty, resilient little things for which we have no offense other than to bend over and pull them – hopefully before they have sent out their little spores to create thousands just like them. If you don't get them early, all you are doing is pulling out the stump for cosmetic purposes. There is no nice little poison you can throw down to kill them and no special treatment to prevent them. Mushrooms rule the yard whenever they darn well feel like it.
I know, I know, mushrooms do not feel and they are not calculating; but it sure feels like it sometimes. I'll go weeks without one showing itself, and I feel like I have licked the problem; then, bam, just like that they are back with a vengeance. It may be due to that lack of diligence from my neighbor I mentioned; but whatever the reason, I feel like I am losing the battle.
All I know is I can't give up. If I just let them grow what I see now will only be tenfold in a matter of weeks. So, I plug ahead each morning yanking out each one in hopes of making headway. At least my kids are not tossing them back for a mid-morning snack like one did several years ago. He learned via ipecac that was not something he wanted to repeat. But that's a story for another day.
