January 5, 2010 (Indianapolis, Indiana) - Indie-Music.com, the online music magazine, has announced the results of its Top 25 Songs for 2010, spotlighting outstanding musical talent in all genres and exposing these deserving artists to a larger audience hungry for new music.
Winners were chosen by Indie-Music's staff from the thousands of songs posted to the website over the last year. Criteria for judging included performance, production, and song quality.
"I have a cool job", laughs Indie-Music's President, Suzanne Glass about the Top 25 selection. "These are the best artists you've never heard, and it's an honor to present them to the world. This is the music that will be making news tomorrow".
Free breakfast item at local Chick-Fil-A locations on Wednesdays through January. Every week it's a different item. This morning was a sausage biscuit (at least that's what it was at the Garden of the Gods location). And who doesn't love free stuff?

Email I just received from a friend of a friend. Just FYI.
I am sending out a warning to all dog lovers, we were out walking and playing ball with our three Shelties at Bear Creek on Saturday Jan 2nd at about 4:00 when our male dog was attached and mauled by two dogs, my best description would be they were Husky or Malamute. The owner of the dogs did nothing to stop the attach only saying that her dogs were playing. We took Tanner to the Animal Hospital and he had to have surgery and a drain put in for the deepest of all the wounds. He is very bruised and has stitches and cannot run, walk or go up or down stairs.
I don't know this women's name but I do plan on putting up pictures and a note on the board at Bear Creek warning other dog owners. I have contacted Animal Control and they are trying to locate this women to find out if her dogs have had there shots.
There is a sign at Bear Creek that states the dogs must be leashed if they don't go by voice command - to bad she didn't even try. Please be very careful if you take your dogs to Bear Creek Park - not all dogs are friendly nor are there owners.
Please feel free to pass this on to anyone's else that you might know that may take their dogs to Bear Creek - watch out for these two dogs "PLAYING".

2amtomorningIf you find yourself at the crossroads of insomnia and insanity, this is the place to channel those demons that keep you sleepless. Vivid pictures, poetry, ruminations, and confessions from the nether hours between dusk and dawn. Originally formed to celebrate the city at night, there's a strong urban theme.
green_futureDedicated to promoting global sustainability, this community offers a forum for discussing current environmental news, research, and issues with tips on how to make positive, pro-active changes to reduce carbon impact. You'll also find information on how to get involved in eco-activism and learn about events near you (i.e., act local; think global). Offering a wealth of data on earth-friendly products and practices, you'll be inspired to don an organic bamboo cape and save the planet.
wtf_sexismSelf-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)

I just joined and thought I would say hi. I'm a K-6 teacher in Sydney Australia.
We're on summer holidays at the moment, but on Jan 27th we go back for a new school year and instead of getting a shiny new class, lucky me gets to keep the class from hell for another full year. Oh joy. The hoops we jump through for government funding.
Anyhow, hope you all had a happy holiday season and thee kids treat you right.

I work with the most spectacular people. I mean that in the best way possible. Some are nice. Some not so nice. Some are considerate. Most are very professional. The one I work with the most is probably the one I like the best. Not to say I don't enjoy having a break or two from her company now and then.
First day I meet her is at a county-wide paperwork extravaganza. The new teachers are all gathered in the main office, pens at the ready, with our new insurance options open to us. We go around the room introducing ourselves, saying what we teach and where we'll teach it. I see her in the front. When it's time to break for lunch I try and make conversation. She ignores me for the most part. We'll be teaching the same subject, you see so I thought it best that we meet. She had more important things on her mind, apparently.
A week or so in; we're making a syllabus. I'm typing it and she's watching me. Several times during my typing, she takes the mouse away from me and copies and pastes something using the buttons at the top of the screen. I try and tell her I can copy and paste myself, but she has a habit of talking, pausing, then starting to talk again after you've formed your reply. And she won't stop either. She'll kinda bulldoze right over you. At one point, we copy and paste something twice. She's looking for the mistake, trying to grab the mouse again.
"Wait. I know what to delete." I say, but she's bulldozing over me again. "Listen. Listen to me." I start to say.
"Fine! Delete whatever you want to, John!" Then she storms out of the room.
I learned that she really likes to be in control. She tells me later that she doesn't see her husband during the week very often. I wonder if the two are related.
At the end of the year, I write a letter to the administration detailing why she should be teacher of the year. She doesn't get it - mostly because she teaches Spanish, and we can't give awards to people whose subject matter isn't on the CRCT. I show her the paper after the awards are announced.
"Aw thanks, John." She says. Only she says it after she says, "You used the wrong 'there' in this sentence."

2010 represents 20 years of work in the mission field for Country Music Association Artist Stephen Michael Apatow, Founder, Humanitarian Resource Institute:
-- 1990: NCADI Campaign opens the first toll free hotline providing access to the largest information bureau in the world for substance abuse information, materials and support. Largest touch outreach ever coordinated through the Office for Substance Abuse Prevention, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
-- 1993: National Community Service Campaign impacts 133 cities from Washington, DC to San Francisco, California. Backed by the U.S. House Select Committee on Hunger and supporters of the Medford Declaration to End Hunger in the United States.
-- 1994: Humanitarian Resource Institute established, moving from work on the front lines to U.S. and International Policy Development.
-- 2010: HRI United Nations Arts Initiative established to return operations to the front lines, "bridging unmet needs to untapped resources" on the grassroots level in every United Nations member country, with support of the arts and entertainment industry and logistical support of the medical, veterinary and legal professions.
Shortly after Humanitarian Resource Institute was formed, the following article entitled "The Ultimate Objective" outlined the scope of our mission:
