The No. 4 Blue Devils shot 70.4 percent from the floor en route to a 111-77 win against Davidson—the team's best single-game shooting performance since 1985. Four players eclipsed the 20-point plateau for the first time in program history. The team committed just four turnovers all night, and starting point guard Quinn Cook registered an 8:0 assist-to-turnover ratio. The Blue Devils (1-0) connected on 13 3-pointers, shooting at a 61.9 percent clip.
But nearly is the operative word.
Some of the preseason concerns with Duke's personnel manifested themselves early against the Wildcats (0-1)—namely foul trouble. Starting big Amile Jefferson was the first culprit, picking up two fouls in four minutes, which relegated him to the bench for the final 16 minutes of the first half.
"A little bit too much intensity," Jefferson said when asked about what contributed to his early fouls. "Wanting to get the ball at all costs, not wanting your man to score on you. It's a learning step for me, and it's something that I have to avoid."Jefferson wasn't the only man in foul woes. The first big man off the bench, senior Josh Hairston, had his own trouble, collecting three fouls in a one-minute span early in the second half. Freshman forward Jabari Parker picked up his third foul just 2:15 after halftime.
Born out of the foul trouble of Duke's big men was a rebounding deficiency and trouble defending the interior. Jefferson and Hairston combined to play 21 minutes, but neither recorded a single rebound. Despite starting the three tallest players on the floor, the Blue Devils were out-rebounded 31-27, which is even more surprising considering Duke missed just 16 field goals.
Defensively, preseason Southern Conference Player of the Year De'Mon Brooks feasted in the paint against the Blue Devils. The forward used his 6-foot-7, 230-pound frame to bully his way to 24 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the floor and 10-for-12 from the charity stripe.
But this apparent shortcoming may be just a tactical ploy by head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
"We didn't want to over-help with [Brooks]," Krzyzewski said. "Because if he did score it was two points—although they add up too—but they don't add up as much as the threes."
The rebounding differential and leaky interior defense can be explained by Duke's use of a small-ball lineup. Featuring Parker and redshirt sophomore Rodney Hood as the team's four and five, the Blue Devils were able to allocate more minutes to their talented wings.
"We play so many different lineups at so many different times," Jefferson said. "Guys are ready to play any position Coach puts them in. The versatility on this team is unbelievable."
But small-ball isn't just a lineup that will be employed against smaller teams like Davidson. It's a lineup that Krzyzewski is comfortable going to against any team.
"That's a lineup you'll be able to see against a bigger Kansas team," Parker said. "I think we're, pound for pound, about the same height. They're not drastically big either, so I think we'll be able to use that as an advantage. Their forwards, we'll bring them outside and let our guards come off screens so they can leave the bigs outside of the paint."
The small-ball lineup is made possible by the exemplary play of Duke's supporting cast, consisting of Cook, Tyler Thornton, Matt Jones and Rasheed Sulaimon. Cook scored 21 points on 7-of-9 shooting to go along with his eight assists. Cook also only managed strong defense without committing the hand-check fouls that plagued him in Duke's second exhibition game. Thornton, who earned the start next to Cook in the backcourt, led the team in plus/minus with a +29 finish.
Jones missed both of his 3-point attempts, but played hard-nosed defense, leading Krzyzewski to liken Jones to former Blue Devil defensive aces Tommy Amaker and Bobby Hurley in terms of the freshman's preparedness to play defense at the college level.
After losing the starting battle in training camp to Thornton, Sulaimon finally blossomed into the player Krzyzewski has been waiting to see for the past few months.
"He has had a good week," Krzyzewski said. "I think he's finally in good shape. He has not had a good fall.... He's an explosive player, he's a really good player. We should expect him to play at the level that he played tonight. That was a big pick-me-up for us."
Duke may not be as big or as physical as some of the other premiere teams in the NCAA this season, but what they do have is the athleticism and talent on the wings to make those big, physical teams pay. When Parker and Hood have the help of the Blue Devils' role players, there will be plenty more results like the 34-point drubbing of Davidson.
"It's amazing to have the talent and the versatility that this team does," Jefferson said. "It makes it really special and really fun."

Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, today issued the statement below following the announcement by Southern California Edison of the permanent closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
Senator Boxer said: "I am greatly relieved that the San Onofre nuclear plant will be closed permanently. This nuclear plant had a defective redesign and could no longer operate as intended. Modifications to the San Onofre nuclear plant were unsafe and posed a danger to the eight million people living within 50 miles of the plant. After a leak of radiation from the steam generator tubes, I became increasingly alarmed that Southern California Edison had misled regulators by minimizing the scope of the changes made at the nuclear plant to avoid a full safety review and public hearings. That is why I have asked the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as the California Public Utility Commission and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to investigate. I want to thank the community organizations that came forward with information which demonstrated that the plant redesign presented a great risk to the public. Now that the San Onofre nuclear plant will be permanently shut down, it is essential that this nuclear plant be safely decommissioned and does not become a continuing liability for the community."

Purple Makes For An Enchanted EveningSep 18, 2013
When it comes to weddings, purple is the bee's knees. Purple is one of those colors that can make an affair look truly sublime. And, it's a tried and true color theme, not some temporary trend that will be going out of style in ten years. It will hold up to the test of time. Why? Because purple is a festive delight. It's the color of royalty. It has the richness of a Napa grape mixed with the hues of an evening sky. Purple is splendidly feminine without being too girly to scare off that groom of yours. All of this adds up to one fabulous color choice for any wedding celebration. A darker plum is heaven for a winter affair while a pale lavender is absolutely dreamy for a summer event. Better still, a purple palette of light and dark shades is a killer combo so don't be afraid to mix it up. As you can see, I am a true purple die-hard. In fact, purple is one of my top two all time colors (blue being the other one, and, with both solidly in my color wheel, I am one lucky girl). And, I am far from the only purple fanatic. I see purple lovers expressing their devotion in weddings everywhere. So, it was a no-brainer when I decided to include Enchanted Evening as one of the colors in the Simply Stunning Collection. Enchanted Evening is a rich, deep purple cake stand that will add a pop of color to your wedding cake display. Now, let's celebrate with an ode to purple. Here are some my favorite purple confections to spark your imagination and make you fall in love with purple all over again. By the way, cake stands are not just for cakes. Cupcakes, macarons, candies, pies, and any sweet treat you can think of deserves its own display. Here are some yummy suggestions that will make for a perfect pairing with an Enchanted Evening Cake Stand. Which one is your favorite? They all look delicious, don't you think? It's a toughie!

Sitting in a wing catty-corner from the front office at Desert Vista High School, nestled behind an outdoor play area, Thunder Tykes preschool has catered to children of school staff and other local residents since 1996.
Open as long as Desert Vista, the preschool this year is seeing a flow of changes after the child development program was severed from the school due to low enrollment.
Though most of the other programs at Tempe Union High School District were kept in tact, Thunder Tykes worked essentially as a learning lab for students to work with kids as part of their classroom experience.
"I find it disappointing because this is what I do, and this is what I love," Thunder Tykes Director Jody Cadwell said. "High school students need some kind of a background in that."
With the recent change, Cadwell and her teaching aide, along with an intern and a few student volunteers, funding is no longer available to them through the district, and a new curriculum has been introduced.
"In other schools it's a lab, students come in and work with them, here I do the teaching," Cadwell said. "It's definitely more of a preschool."
Cadwell focuses on providing social and emotional development as well as preparing the 4 and 5 year olds with kindergarten prep like introductions to numbers and letters. Status reports and parent-teacher conferences are also new to the preschool.
In June, Thunder Tykes will be offering a summer academy for any and all parents interested in the area. Also lowering the minimum age to 2 1/2, Cadwell said she is trying out the idea this year to get kids enrolled.
On a regular school day, Cadwell takes care of about 14 children ages 3 to 5. The Thunder Tykes spend their school day playing games, rotating through activity tables, reading, recess, and other preschool-age varieties.
A small kitchen stores food for snacks and lunchtime, they have a small, gated and covered playground, and a technology center with a few computers.
History teacher Michele Lucas said having her son Tanner, 3, at the preschool on campus has been a great experience.
"It's always been a really good program, I've been happy with it," she said.
A teacher at the school for 13 years, and even longer at the district, Lucas said though the changes to Thunder Tykes brings a loss of opportunity for students to work with children, Cadwell has taken care of the program to keep it going.
"She really built up the program and is making it stronger than it had been before," Lucas said.
Thunder Tykes Summer Academy is open for enrollment with a $50 registration fee to secure a spot, and a rate of $120 for the academy.
The program will be offered through the month of June, Monday through Thursday, from 8:30 a.m. to noon.
For more information about Thunder Tykes or to register, email Cadwell at email@example.com.

Car shows are different in Tijuana
"You do not have to babysit the people from leaning or touching the cars."
Mike Madriaga 2:30 p.m., Sept. 19
Gervase Duan Spradlin. With a handle like that, it's no wonder he grew up to be one tough hombre.
G.D. Spradlin — attorney, independent oil producer, mayoral candidate, and one of the few men brazen enough to dare face down the Corleone family — died Sunday at his ranch in San Luis Obispo, Calfornia. He was 90.
Born in Daylight, Garvin County, Oklahoma, Spradlin's distinctive, soft-spoken, ever-present Midwestern twang became a trademark. On screen he made a career out of oozing sufficient amounts of artful Republican cunning. So much so, I was shocked to learn that in real life he campaigned for John F. Kennedy in 1959.
Spradlin didn't break into acting until 1964 and was in his mid-40s when he joined the Oklahoma Repertory Theatre. There were a few television roles — most notably as a colonel opposite Gomer Pyle and a handful of recurring creeps on Jack Webb's Dragnet — before he made his big screen debut opposite Charlton Heston in Will Penny (1968).
The Pyle connection is not one to be taken lightly. Fred Roos worked as casting director on several TV productions, Gomer Pyle included, that featured Spradlin in small roles. Roos went on to coproduced The Godfather Part II, and he recommended Spradlin for the game-changing part of Senator Pat Geary.
Forget about Stracci, Cuneo, Bardzini, Hyman Roth, and even the pock-marked intimidation put forth by Willie Cicci: all physical threats pale in comparison to the foreboding purrs of the senator's uncomplicated delivery.
To hear Spradlin work his forked tongue around the family name is a moment to be consummately extolled. But nothing matches the bile and resentment toward the band of "oily-haired" immigrant gangsters dirtying up his "clean country" more than when Geary refers to Michael and his Mafia dynasty as, "you and your fucking family."
Other authority figures in Spradlin's oeuvre include military types (MacArthur, Apocalypse Now), coaches (One on One, North Dallas Forty), and the evangelist approached to bankroll Plan 9 from Outer Space in Tim Burton's Ed Wood.
He was married twice. Spradlin's 56-year marriage to Nell E. Hulsizer ended in her death in 2000. His nine-year marriage to Frances Hendrickson ended with his death.

SPRING HILL — Authorities have identified 62-year-old Iren Pivarcsi of Spring Hill as the woman who died Friday afternoon in a three-vehicle collision at Cortez and Mariner boulevards.
The wreck occurred about 1:45 p.m., according to the Florida Highway Patrol, when a 2004 Mitsubishi sport utility vehicle driven by Melissa Renaud, 42, of Spring Hill, heading west on Cortez, ran a red light and struck a 2009 Hyundai driven by P.J. Cornacchioli, 67, of Spring Hill, who was driving south on Mariner and attempting to make a left turn onto Cortez.
Renaud's SUV then struck the driver's side of Pivarcsi's 2002 Chrysler, which also was southbound on Mariner, pushing the vehicle into the median on Cortez.
Pivarcsi was pronounced dead at the scene. Neither Renaud, Cornacchioli nor a passenger in Cornacchioli's car suffered serious injuries.
Authorities continue to investigate the crash and asked that anyone who witnessed it contact the FHP at 1-800-500-1240.

Reasonable hotel
This is a reasonable hotel but make sure you ask for an outside room as mine was like a cell with a very small window overlooking what seemed to be an internal courtyard which let in very little natural light and felt claustrophobic.
If you want a cooked breakfast be sure that your booking offers this as I thought mine did but apparently I was only entitled to a very limited "continental" style breakfast. I was initially sent to the wrong, occupied, room which meant me walking right back to reception to get another room allocated.

I had a very bad experience at travellers in oldbury.
No customer service skills at all. Was not greeted as I checked. They just took payment.had no sleep all night due to loud noises, music blasting, banging of doors and people talking very loud, this was up until 5am. Next day as I was staying another night I notified reception of these noises etc that accured during the night and I asked for another room as I wanted a decent nights sleep on the last night. The owner had not been sympathetic or said sorry or anything he just handed me a card for another room. I was very disappointed in the whole experience.

"Picture this--You're reclined on a beach in the Bahamas, sifting sand through your fingers and inhaling the ocean air as a sexy cabana boy approaches with your pina colada. Or maybe a gorgeous woman from the tiki bar has bought you one. A light breeze ruffles your hair as you take note of another titillating scent--spicy seasoned shrimp combined with juicy mango. "That smells awesome!" you comment to no one in particular. Cabana boy (or tiki woman) slyly produces a plate of shrimp tacos from behind their back. "Surprise!" he or she smiles seductively. "Care to join me? There's more than enough." You smile in return as they occupy the empty chair beside you. "Afterward, I'll give you a tour of my beach shack and we'll consider dessert."

Strongbow flew a detailed helicopter-borne magnetic-electromagnetic survey over the property during the spring of 2004. Under the terms of an option agreement Allyn Resources completed ground geophysical and prospecting surveys of the property during the summer of 2004 and 2005. In March 2006 Allyn dropped its option to earn an interest in the project.
The Canoe Lake property currently hosts two drill ready prospects - the Canoe Lake base metal prospect and the Bamako gold prospect.
Work on the Canoe Lake prospect has included ground magnetic, HELM, and UTEM surveys over the main Canoe Lake massive sulphide showing. On September 12th , 2005 Allyn announced results from two continuous chip samples collected from outcropping massive sulphide mineralization at the Canoe Lake VMS showing. The sampled mineralization is characterized by massive pyrite-sphalerite-galena and chalcopyrite-bearing outcrops located over a strike length of 25 m. Two chip samples collected at 1 metre intervals returned 1.3% Cu, 1.7% Pb, 6.9% Zn and 130 g/t Ag over four metres and 0.6% Cu, 1.3% Pb, 8.0% Zn, and 148 g/t Ag over three metres, respectively. Sampling of a talus slope located to the east of these massive sulphide outcrops identified a fine grained sphalerite-galena phase of mineralization. Samples of this material returned up to 0.1% Cu, 6.9% Pb, 20.6% Zn and 628 g/t Ag. An additional broad zone of hydrothermal alteration was mapped over a 400 m strike length within the volcanic stratigraphy, immediately beneath the massive sulphide occurrences. Sulphide mineralization within this alteration zone returned elevated Cu and Au values (up to 2.28% Cu and 1.6 g/t Au). Mineralization at Canoe Lake is coincident with HLEM and UTEM conductors that can be traced over a strike length of 600m.
Ground geophysical surveys of the Bamako showing by Allyn has resulted in the identification of three sub-parallel, near vertically dipping gold bearing mineralized horizons within a 300 m stratigraphic interval. Mineralization is characterized by zones of sulphide enrichment and silicification within sheared mafic metavolcanic rocks. Disseminated to semi-massive pyrrhotite is the dominant sulphide, typically accompanied by lesser amounts of pyrite and chalcopyrite and pervasively brecciated blue-grey to black quartz flooding. The association of gold mineralization with pyrrhotite has enabled the Bamako showings to be assessed using standard geophysical techniques. Results of the completed geophysical program indicate significant potential strike lengths to the mineralized horizons as magnetic and conductive responses coincident with mineralization identified in outcrop can be traced beneath overburden for up to 350 m.

Minnesota earns 3-1 win over San Diego Padres
MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins first baseman Kennys Vargas hit his first major league home run, a three-run blast in the sixth inning Tuesday, to give Minnesota a 3-1 win over the San Diego Padres at Target Field.
Just 48 hours after posting 16 runs in a 16-3 rout of the Chicago White Sox, the Twins struggled to get any offense going against Padres right-hander Jesse Hahn, who held Minnesota to only two hits through five superb innings.
But the Twins got the offense going in the sixth, getting a double from second baseman Brian Dozier and a walk from third baseman Trevor Plouffe ahead of the middle of the order. Hahn got designated hitter Josh Willingham to swing and miss on a big, sweeping curveball for the second out, and tried the same approach with Vargas one batter later.
Vargas hit the offering into the right-field seats, making him the eighth Twin in franchise history to hit his first career homer in his home debut.
The blast made a winner of Twins righty Phil Hughes, who tossed six innings of one-run ball for his 11th victory of the season. Closer Glen Perkins allowed a pair of singles in the ninth, but worked out of the jam for his 28th save.
The Padres took the lead in the fifth inning on a massive leadoff homer by first baseman Yonder Alonso, his sixth of the season.
Alonso's double in the second inning nearly put San Diego in front, but catcher Yasmani Grandal was thrown out at the plate trying to score from first.
NOTES: OF Jordan Schafer, playing in his first game with the Twins, started in left field and batted ninth. In his initial at-bat, he singled and stole a base. Schafer was claimed off waivers from the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. ... Twins 1B Joe Mauer and RHP Ricky Nolasco both began rehab assignments with Class A Cedar Rapids on Tuesday. Mauer, out since July 2 with an oblique strain, went 1-for-3 and scored a run. Nolasco, sidelined a month due to a sore right elbow, threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings. ... Padres RHP Andrew Cashner is set to make a rehab start for Class A Lake Elsinore on Friday, when he will throw 30-40 pitches. From there, he could advance to Triple-A El Paso.

"We'll also be learning about signage and sponsorship deals and how they're activated at the Super Bowl."Twenty-one students are making the trip, along with five faculty members and two alumni. Romine, who is on the track and cross country teams at UC, has always loved sports, but she didn't realize until she got to college that she could make a living out of it."I never saw it as something I could do. I didn't realize all of the business aspects: community relations, marketing. When you work in sports, there are always going to be obstacles and something unexpected, but that's the exciting part," she said. "We learn in class what all it takes to create a sporting event like this, but we've never seen how it all fits together. We're all very excited to get this opportunity. It doesn't get any bigger than this."Evan Seams, a sophomore, has always been an avid football fan. Following in the footsteps of his father, Seams played the game for most of his life."Football has been my whole life. When I realized there would be a time I couldn't play, I knew I still wanted to be in the business," he said.While Seams is excited about going to the Super Bowl for the game, he knows he's going to be working, and he's OK with that."It's about the experience, first of all. The time we spend there is going to matter the most -- seeing the management behind it and what's made it into the biggest event in the U.S.," he said. "Regardless, it's going to be fun. We're going to be learning how the Super Bowl was in the past, how it's come to be what it is now, and how it will change in the future."Reach Mackenzie Mays at email@example.com or 304-348-4814.

Outlook for Higher Education Remains Mixed, Moody's Says
In a report released on Monday, Moody's Investors Service sticks with the mixed outlook for higher education that it established last year: For leading colleges that are well managed and diversified, the market is looking stable. For the rest, not so much.
The outlook report, which is released annually at the beginning of the year, says that a majority of colleges—those dependent on tuition or state money—will continue to face challenges in the next 12 to 18 months. Those challenges will, in part, stem from the public's scrutiny of rising tuition and from pressures to keep it down. Analysts at the credit-rating agency also expect demand to rise for admission to the largest and highest-rated institutions, while other colleges may struggle to attract students.
The Occupy protests and other events have put intense focus on college tuition. "Tuition levels are at a tipping point, and the cost of college will be a critical credit factor for universities to manage long-term," the report says. "We expect that the pace of future net tuition revenue growth, both on a total and a per-student basis, will be much lower than the strong growth experienced over the past 10 years."
A declining yield in admissions is troubling trend, the report notes. Many colleges may appear more selective, but only because more students are applying to more colleges. "Median freshman yield rates (percentage of accepted freshmen who chose to enroll) at both private and public universities have steadily declined over the past five years, highlighting increased competition," the report says. "The trend of declining yield is particularly notable for the lower-rated private colleges, which are increasingly competing with lower-cost public colleges and feeling the most pressure to slow tuition increases and offer more tuition discounting."
Demand for some graduate and professional programs, particularly in business and law, is also softening—perhaps because the public doubts the payoffs those programs promise. "Historically, demand for these types of programs was countercyclical with the economy," the report says, adding that enrollment in graduate programs dropped in 2010. "We have anecdotally heard that recruitment for top students to these types of professional programs is fierce, with law and business schools increasingly using strategic financial-aid offerings to attract top talent and secure entering class sizes," the report says.
The Moody's report addresses a key question: Is the higher-education model fundamentally broken? Moody's analysts maintain that the business model is "generally sound and long-lasting," but that higher education will have to innovate in a number of ways to remain viable. Such innovations might include collaborations between colleges, more centralized management, more efficient use of facilities, a reduction in the number of tenured faculty members, and the geographic and demographic expansion of course offerings.
The report is available online to Moody's subscribers.

OurStage, Guitar Player magazine, and Ernie Ball are teaming up this summer to offer aspiring guitarists a chance to win the ultimate Grand Prize. Enter the Guitar Player "Take The Lead" Competition by August 17 for your shot to win your very own feature in Guitar Player magazine, a year's supply of strings and accessories from Ernie Ball, and more! Throughout the competition, we'll be bringing you exclusive editorial content, fresh from guitarplayer.com"enjoy!
Certain people are very mental, " says legendary guitarist Carlos Santana, "they need to have rules and concepts and directions and scales and theory in order to play. But that's not what music is about. Music has the same significance as beams of light coming out of the clouds and giving information to plants. Every note should be like a beam of light. You're giving information to the listener, and you're reminding them they also have light and significance. That's improvising to me. The other stuff is just like going ˜da-da-da-da-da.' It's nothing.

While having musical talent is certainly not a prerequisite for being President of the United States, it definitely makes you way cooler, in our book. The White House has been absent of musical talent since Clinton was rocking out sax solos on the Arsenio Hall Show. But fret no more, music lovers: turns out our Commander In Chief has a set of pipes! Last week, President Obama surprised a Harlem audience by singing the hook to the famous Al Green tune Let's Stay Together at a fundraiser at the Apollo Theater. Yesterday, he showcased some more of his talent by joining B.B. King, Mick Jagger and Buddy Guy for a few lines of his hometown anthem, Sweet Home Chicago.
Obama had hosted a night of performances dedicated to the blues, featuring musicians Jeff Beck, Troy Trombone Shorty Andrews, Gary Clark Jr., Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, and Booker T. Jones. President Obama was encouraged to sing by Buddy Guy, who told the President, You started something, you got to keep it up, referring to his Al Green impersonation. Obama joined the all-star cast, singing come on, baby don't you wanna go, then having B.B. King chime in with same old place. Obama took the mic back and finished out the song with sweet home, Chicago before flashing the camera his signature smile and exiting the East Room to cheerful applause.

The only thing that most guitarists enjoy less than changing strings is having to pay for them. When you add it up, all of those packs get expensive! That's why we teamed up with Ernie Ball to give one lucky artist a year's supply of free Ernie Ball strings. The lucky recipient, bluesman Scott Seabock, sat down to chat with us about his influences, the future of blues and how he's going to put all of those strings to good use.
Biggest blues influences: Greg Allman, Paul Rodgers, James Brown, Ray Charles, BB King, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson.
"I come from mostly a classic soul and R&B background so I'm not a died-in-the-wool blues afficianado like some others. I really learned to love the blues starting with rock music and working backwards."
Favorite blues guitarists: BB King, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan…"the list is endless"
"I have to say BB is still my all time favorite. The way he sings a line then twists that one pull-off note with that vibrato just does me in. It truly is like he's having a conversation with his 'Lucille.'"
OS: How does it feel to win the Ernie Ball prize in the Blues Channel?
SS: It makes me feel really great. As an indie artist who is pretty much a do-it-yourself musician you wonder sometimes if all the effort and passion you put into recording and marketing music is having any affect on people. This prize lets me know that people really are listening and I am truly blessed to be part of the OurStage community and able to share what I do with others. Also much thanks to Ernie Ball for the generous prize of guitar strings. Again as a struggling musician without an endorsement, this prize will assure that I'm making music for quite awhile.
OS: What do you think the future holds in store for the blues? How do you see it being incorporated in modern music?
SS: One reason I really dig the blues is that it crosses generations more than any other genre I know. You can have a gig at a club where there is an eighty-year-old harp player, a fifty-year-old organist and a twenty-three-year-old guitarist and it's just rockin', you know. Everybody is just into the groove and not what kind of haircut you have or if the lasers are working right. It's music that is just about the music if that makes any sense. To me the blues is like some kind of disease that keeps showing up and infecting new generations with that mysterious mojo. Even today, the blues is never that far off the radar of pop music. Take, for example, that Adele song "Rolling in the Deep". Huge hit but not exactly your typical drum machine synth driven dance hit is it? And yet there is in the vocal delivery, lyric and arrangement of that song a great example of what the blues are all about: yearning, pain and passion. Even though it is not a typical twelve bar blues progression, the soul and essence of the blues are all over it. To me it sounds like an old Johnnie Lee Hooker stomp it's so raw. Or even futher back to like the Pentacostal Church or something. It's just so free of all the cliches and safeness of today's pop music.So yeah, I think the blues are alive and well all across the land
OS: Anything you'd like to say to the fans that judged or shout-outs you'd like to make?
SS: I often hear friends of mine or different people talk about how there is no good music anymore. "Radio sucks blah, blah, blah." Whenever I get a chance I tell them they are right, that the major labels for the most part are putting out crap year after year. I tell them if you really want to hear great new music you have to go underground to places like OurStage where there are tons of artists writing and producing incredible music all the time. So again I think all who judged and voted for my song just helps validate what I and many others are doing. That is, contributing to a great body of independent music that needs to be heard by the masses. My heroes are the ones who are raising a family, working a day job, fixing up the house and all that, and still find time and energy to get together with their bandmates and rock out. Whether it's for a stadium full of people or a backyard barbeque with five friends, it's the music that matters, not all the other stuff thats attached to it. God bless all of you at OurStage who listen,write,vote and keep doing what you love to do. Peace and Love!
May is the by far the perfect month to help you shake off those winter blues. The sun is back out, the weather is warm and if you've been cooped up all winter"strumming on your six-string and singing about your long lost love"we know a little spring break is always welcomed. Luckily, Ernie Ball is stepping up to the plate with a big cure for all you blues players out there; a year's supply of free strings and accessories! Whether you get down to the electric blues of artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan and BB King or the old school acoustic blues of Robert Johnson and Blind Lemon Jefferson, Ernie Ball's got you covered. ENTER your best track by May 23, 2011 for your chance at this sweet prize package.
In case you had any doubts about how cool this prize really is, you can hear it firsthand from February alternative country winner Coles Whalen. We asked the Colorado songstress about what it was like to win the free strings, she commented "Awesome! So thankful to the people at OurStage! The Ernie Ball strings sound and feel amazing." Ernie Ball has hooked up some truly exceptional OurStage artists with free strings and Whalen is no exception. Her music has been described by critics as soulful, powerful and straight from the heart, and after listening to her Ernie Ball winning song Go Child we think that description pretty much hits the nail on the head. To hear a little more music from Whalen, check out the playlist below. If you dig what she's doing, head to her OurStage profile and show her some love.
When you think blues, you think of a couple places. We've already been through Chicago, so the other obvious choice for blues music is Memphis. Sure, Nashville seems to garner most of the state's music coverage with its strong grasp on the singers and songwriters of country music. But, heading across the state to Memphis offers you a whole new flavor of southern rock, country and blues.
Proclaiming itself the Home of the Blues, we recommend you start your Memphis visit on Beale St. This famous strip is home to some of the best venues and clubs that Memphis has to offer. You'll find everything from the famous Hard Rock Café to B. B. King's Blues Club to Alfred's. The sound of Memphis Blues slowly became a staple of the street in the early 1900s with artists like Louis Armstrong, Muddy Waters, Albert King, Memphis Minnie and B. B. King. himself. In his earlier years of performance, B. B. King was even dubbed the Beale Street Blues Boy.
For a more standard rock club lineup, we'll head over to the Hi Tone Café. Here, you'll find acts like New Found Glory, Wavves and The Tallest Man On Earth. You'll also find OurStage folk/country/blues act Star & Micey. These guys serve up a helping of true southern folk/pop with strong blues/soul influence. The band's music is everything you might hope for in a current indie act coming out of Memphis. Check out their performance on a Memphis trolley bus, supporting the communal qualities and southern hospitality inherent in the city's music.
Hightide Blues is as powerful as they are upbeat (something that tends to be rare). Their country influences meld so perfectly with their blues rock sound that this band will bridge the gap between those Alt Rock Kids and the Country Lovers. In fact, I think they are so good, you will like them after just one song.
Since their first show back in 2006, Hightide Blues has played at hundreds of venues all over the Southeast and taken the stage with such artists as Sara Bareilles, Graham Colton, and Jason Isbell. They treat their recordings with that same high level of class and recently completed an EP ("Love Come Easy") at House of David Studios in Nashville, a recording studio that has hosted such legends as Elvis, Neil Young, B.B. King, Joe Crocker, and Roy Orbison. Up next, the band has announced that they will be playing the SXSW music festival in Texas . With a resume this strong, I'd say they are bound to be one of the best blues/southern rock bands to grace the Country genre in a long-time.
There are a lot of reasons to like this band. You may be impressed by their star-studded collaborations or their impressive studio rsources. Maybe it's just their stage presence or their unique, alternative country sound. Whatever your reason, now that you've heard that one song, shoot on over to the band's fanclub and listen to the rest of their tunes. You won't be disappointed.

Franken-Coleman Update, 06/04/09: Norm for Governor? I Think Not.
In the wake of Tim Pawlenty's announcement that he wasn't running for governor again in 2010 (probably so he can run for president in 2012), the Minneapolis StarTribune put out an article listing the various persons in the Republican Party of Minnesota who were looking at taking his place — and yes, Norm Coleman was mentioned as possibly being one of these people. Here's my take on the names they mentioned. (For extra credit, and more info, go to Jeff Fecke's shop for a slightly different and better-informed take, as well as more names.)
Norm Coleman: No way. No effing way. He's in massive debt, the stink of failure is all over him, and the Kazeminy suits are coming up. He still has friends in high and well-heeled places, but they know he's done. His main value now is in introducing his old friends (*cough*BushCheneyRove*cough*) to those who wish their patronage.
Marty Seifert: By far the most likely in my opinion, as he's Pawlenty's chief ally in the legislature — and has followed a similar career parth, as he and Pawlenty have been House Majority Leaders during their respective times in the state lege. He's also the youngest of the lot, and the RPM looks to be having a bit of a youth movement right now. (Seifert's even stepped down from his House Minority Leader job so he can jump into the gubernatorial race with both feet.)
Dave Senjem: Nope. Nonentity. Bob Dole without the charisma or wit. A time-server in his late sixties who is currently Senate Minority Leader because no one else wanted the job, which comes with built-in cooties that could wreck the career of someone just starting out.
Laura Brod: A surlier, duller Bachmann. Would guarantee a win to any DFLer aside from Matt Entenza (who is unfortunately one of the top folks in the running).
Geoff Michel: Nope. He's from Edina, an upscale Minneapolis suburb that is known for its wine-and-cheese Republicans, who with the rise of the knuckle-draggers and brush-arbor megachurch types are not currently in favor. He could do well in the general, but there's no way in hell he'd make it past the primary. Plus, he's a dork.
David Hann: See Dave Senjem, with a dash of thuggery thrown in.
Steve Sviggum: Nope. He is the guy on whose watch the House went from RPM to DFL control in 2006. He'll never be forgiven for that, even though the fault was more the public's general and growing revulsion with the GOP nationally than his own actions.
Pat (Awada) Anderson: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Where do I start? A former daughter-in-law of a local restaurateur who in addition to being crazy, is ideologically unreliable — too much so for the party leadership or the base to tolerate.
Brian Sullivan: Former RPM platform chair, hyperconservative and rich Orono businessman with good hair and the willingness to lavishly self-fund. Challenged Pawlenty in 2002 for the RPM gubernatorial nomination and took it fairly far even though he started several months later than did Pawlenty. He'd give Seifert a run for his money, and could be trouble in the general as well.
Rod Grams: Erm, no. Former Senator Family Values (and former local TV news anchor) lost that gig when, among other things, he was caught boinking his chief of staff and now wife Christine Gunhus (who herself is a rat-fornicating piece of work) a bit too closely in the wake of his messy, prolonged divorce from another woman. Plus, his son Morgan Grams is a hellion. And while abject stupidity is often seen as a feature, not a bug as far as GOP candidates are concerned — easier for their handlers to control and all that — Grams was/is such an airhead that his chief Washington staffer, Pete Hong, was known as "Senator Hong" as he notoriously did all his boss' thinking. (Hong, like his boss, is also known for thinking with his little head, as last year's bust for soliciting a prostitute's services shows.)
Mark Kennedy: Stink. Of. Failure. This is the guy who was the up-and-comer, the guy who was the strongest of the RPM's new generation in the Early Aughts, the guy who literally scared then-incumbent Senator Mark Dayton out of politics — and then proceeded to get his ass kicked by Amy Klobuchar, who ran a so-so, albeit quite competent, campaign. I think not.
Michele Bachmann: God doesn't love me that much. Enough said.

Dr. Stephen Doggett, senior hospital scientist at Westmead Hospital's Medical Entomology Department (Australia), was announced as the winner of PCT's 12th Annual Best Pest Photo Contest for his entry of a honey bee (Apis mellifera) that had been captured by a flower spider. He wins $500 from PCT.
In addition to the "main event" struggle, small flies (possible phorid flies) are feeding on the carcass of the bee, Doggett said.
"The photo was captured in Sydney, Australia, near my hometown in western Sydney," Doggett said. "My partner and I were out walking the dogs and saw the bee with its 'friends.' I had to rush home to grab my camera and take a few shots in fading light."
Doggett becomes PCT's second two-time winner. He won the seventh annual competition with a paper wasp photo.
PCT received more than 70 entries for this year's contest. The following pages include a photo review that includes the winning photo and finalist photos.

Welcome a breeze of bright spirits and snow-day smiles with every hug of our super-soft plush snowman, Olaf, fresh from Disney's hit comedy-adventure
It is so soft and adorable that my daughter grabbed the last one at the store and keeps hugging him. Very cute and cuddly, durable, high quality. What else is expected from a plush?
The plush look exactly like him in the film and he's even bigger than i thought. He's soft and sweet. Everyone should get one!
I really recommend getting this plush. Disney has always done a wonderful job with their plushes and Olaf is no exception, This little guy is completely adorable and perfect for any Frozen fan. I had already bought the larger 22 in Olaf plushes but couldn't stop myself from buying a few more Olafs for my nieces and other family members. Upon arrival I have to admit the smaller Olaf has a better appearance than the larger one. It could be the tighter stitching or the more charming compact size but whatever it is I'm glad I was able to snatch him up before they ran out.

Wilson Lauture, a Stamford, CN accountant, isn't taking his recent layoff standing still. Well, in a way, he is, but not in the way you might think. Lauture has been spotted standing near an intersection in Norwalk, CN, wearing a sandwich board that advertises his desire to get back to work.
He told The Hour, a Connecticut newspaper, that he has had some inquiries. "Two of them asked me to send a copy of my resume", Lauture said. He plans to start carrying his resume with him while wearing the sandwich board.
Lauture was laid off in April from his job as an accountant with a New York nursing home. He is a Haitian immigrant who earned his bachelors degree at City University of New York and an MBA at the University of New Haven. Since his layoff, he's been working at some part-time and volunteer jobs, but is looking for full-time work.
"I've been having a really hard time to pay my mortgage and things are getting scary", Lauture told the Stamford Advocate. "A minimum wage is not a living wage, especially with two sons to support." Lauture's wife works as a cashier at a nearby grocery store.
Lauture, age 50, has been accompanied by his two sons, ages 8 and 12, also wearing sandwich boards, and all three of them wear suits and ties. "I'm going to keep trying until something comes up", he told The Hour. "As soon as I get a job, I will absolutely stop. If I don't get a job offer, I will continue to do this."

|Is this the climb with a long run out just left of Vertical Alluvium? I saw some people climb it and all have used gear to get between some of the bolts, I think past the second or third.

|Yes, Finding Forester is just left of Vertical Alluvium. A fall anywhere before clipping the second bolt will probably result in a groundfall. The good thing is it is easy climbing. If you have doubts, it is easily set up as a toprope.

|Second route upstream, bring a 0.75 to protect crux, and I felt it was harder than the route "hotness" to the left.... This thing also has half the bolts and is around the same height.

I put this up in 2009 as a tribute to a friend (Jimmy Forester) killed while climbing in Mexico. Yes!!! bring a 0.75 to protect the "run out". It's EASY climbing between those two bolts. The cam is pretty damn solid if placed in the horizontal part of that crack. You gotta look for it. Thanks for the comments and for climbing it. Jimmy was an amazing friend, climber, father, brother, and son. He is dearly missed.
P.S. - up top stay out on the face. Don't venture right to the big crack. This creates a bit of fun!

|I remember when Jimmy passed. My first trip to Potrero, the 99 pitches of Wildest Ride In The Park sounded like some fantasy route. Sad news when he was lost soloing it, but at least he was doing what most probably want to be doing when the time comes. RIP, Jimmy.

|Thanks for the comment, Craig. Jimmy is still missed, and we talk about him and all the memories quite often. This route has turned out to be a good tribute to a GREAT man and friend. If you ever get out this way, hit me up and we'll go do this route and share a beer afterwards!

|Protected the first few bolts with alpine draws. Long run out at the top which was scary, but I didn't add any additional protection, and it was fine, although it would be nice to calm the nerves.

Awesome Advice For Finding The Perfect Jewelry

This process begins once you purchase your materials. If you are going to make a revenue, it is very important preserve your costs to a minimal, because the much less you spend in your supplies, the more profit you will be able to make from charging a aggressive value for your jewelry. Why not supply your beads and other materials from wholesalers online somewhat than from your native beading or craft shop, which a rebound to be more expensive. Obviously if your jewellery seems to be too low cost it is not going to be as desirable to your customers, so why not attempt mixing among the cheaper beads with different extra enticing ones.

Rings are among the many smallest pieces of jewellery, but additionally they make up among the simplest initiatives. Adjustable rings are especially easy to make, because they do not require soldering. In reality, there are plenty of designs that require nothing more than a piece of wire, a pair of pliers and a file to make. When you're feeling adventurous, you may even design your own easy ring.

Red Line Oil-equipped 875 hp '67 Camaro Makes Its Race Debut in Pahrump
Mark Stielow's Red Line-equipped "Mayhem" '67 Camaro is the latest Pro-Touring build from the GM engineer and was his weapon of choice brought his second win in three years at the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational last weekend in Pahrump, NV. Stielow's 877-hp LS9 powered hot rod beat second-place finisher, Brian Hobaugh by just a single point.
Every year Optima Batteries holds the event the day after the SEMA Show and invites some of the wildest street cars and drivers out to compete for the title. 2012 was the first time the series had qualifying events around the country to give enthusiasts around the US a chance to compete. During SEMA, the Optima Team also gives a few "golden tickets" to the owners of the best display cars at the trade show, inviting them out to compete.
Pro-Touring muscle machines, late-model supercars, vintage sports cars and even a few drift cars competed on the road course, autocross, braking challenge and engineering competition to be crowned the "Ultimate Street Car" from the 2012 SEMA Show. When all was said and done, Mayhem came out on top, winning the coveted title of OPTIMA Batteries Ultimate Street Car of 2012.
The entire event, from the pre-SEMA builds to the awards ceremony, was shot for a national TV show which will air in early 2012 on a national cable network. For full event results, more information on the OUSCI results, TV show, participants, official rules and more, visit www.optimainvitational.com.
Stielow's '67 is his 12th Camaro build up and the third car that Mark built using an LS9 V8 engine from the Corvette ZR1. This time, Mark has 100 hp more and 150 pounds less to deal with then in his famed "Red Devil" buildup from 2010! With help from Thomson Automotive, the engine displacement has been upped to 7.0L and been tuned to almost 900 hp, but that's not the end of the story. The car looks like a classic Camaro from the outside but under this classic body, the car sports a host of performance upgrades including a Detroit Speed chassis front and rear, Brembo brakes, and coolers for the transmission and rear-end. Stielow runs Red Line's 5W30 motor oil (the same viscosity as recommended from the factory), D4 ATF for his TR6060 6-speed trans, and Red Line's 75W90 GL-5 gear oil for the limited slip differential. Don't forget the WaterWetter in the radiator, too.
Red Line Oil would like to congratulate Mark on his win and look forward to seeing what else he will do with his stunning first-gen. Thank you for the support!

Pepco workers put out fire, mother saves sleeping son
A Prince George's County homeowner says Pepco workers put out a fire in her home and possibly saved her three-year-old son's life.
But a crewmember says the mom is the hero.
About 9 a.m. this morning Pepco crews arrived at Malebogo Munamunungu's home in Upper Marlboro to string electrical lines. The house is being renovated.
A Pepco crewmember, Ryan Callahan, 19, heard a smoke alarm going off in the house.
"Me and another man, Brandon Edwards, went around to the side of the house to see if we could see smoke," Callahan says. "We saw smoke."
Munamunungu was walking down the end of the home's long driveway to take two of her young children to their school bus. Three-year-old Asher was asleep in an upstairs bedroom.
Just outside the house, Callahan grabbed a fire extinguisher from his truck and he and his partner, Donnie Pfieffer, went inside.
Intense fire and thick smoke filled the kitchen and was quickly spreading.
"You could see it through the window, so I came in.," Callahan says. "We hit the fire one more time. We thought it was out. The smoke was thick."
A Pepco worker called 911, ran to get Munamunungu and brought her back to the house.
"I rushed upstairs to make sure I got this one," Munamunungu says. "Fortunately, in my bedroom there was no smoke."
Asher was fine. She grabbed him and they escaped through an upstairs exit.
The Pepco workers put out the fire before firefighters even arrived.
"The Pepco guys were a godsend," Munamunungu says.
"I don't consider us heroes," Callahan says. "The mom, I give her credit. She's the hero. She's the one who ran inside the house with all the smoke. We just put the fire out."

What: -Do you lust after? -How are you slothful? -How are you greedy? -Makes you gluttonous? -Fills you with envy? -Ignites your wrath? -Gives you pride?
Posting in language:
1-Do you lust after? A truly good, long-lasting relationship with an attractive female with a good personality. She doesn't have to be a "10/10" or something stupid like that (I'm not ugly myself, but not great-looking either), just someone that would always be there for me and who would maybe help with my depression. 2-How are you slothful? Whenever, I get stuck on something, i.e. writer's block, big essays, major life choices, etc., I tend to sort of waste time and put off making that decision. Although, when I do dedicate myself to something, I will never half-ass it. 3-How are you greedy? I have always been extremely frugal and hesitant to spend money on anything, even myself. However, if the time comes, I will give a lot of myself and my money to help out a friend. 4-Makes you gluttonous? I am 6' tall and weigh 140 pounds. I run 4-8 miles a day. I eat a shit-ton. All the time. 5-Fills you with envy? More than anything else? See number 1, but included with something bigger. I want to live the epic life of the hero who achieves superhuman accomplishments and saves millions of people. The Chief's life is the kind of thing I mean. Self-sacrifice and heroic battles of incredible proportions. I don't know that his life would be the best, since I already know how most of it goes, but something like it. 6-Ignites your wrath? Idiocy. Cruelty. Causing unnecessary pain and suffering. Hypocrisy. Blind hatred and patriotism for any cause, especially when it involves refusing to even consider the other side of the coin. Wastefulness. Bad parenting. Bad governing. Intolerance. I'm not perfect, far from it, but I like to think I was raised by good parents who set high moral and behavioral standards for me. I have a strong sense of right and wrong, but when my beliefs are proven wrong, I can (reluctantly) give them up. Things that are "Just plain wrong", though, do tend to make my kind of hot temper snap sometimes. And I [i]do[/i] have a hot temper. 7-Gives you pride? My artwork. My musical abilities. My intelligence, in academics and in philosophy. My family. The fact that I'm in shape when so many people aren't. My home. My creative writing abilities, when I apply them fully. I dislike the implied religious aspect of this thread, but I do admit you gave me something to think about. +1

Miranda Lambert Takes Alaskan Fishing Vacation
What does Miranda Lambert do between shows? She visits Alaska to go fishing. A Taste of Country reader sent us these pictures of the 'Fastest Girl in Town' singer reeling 'em in by the dozens when she was on a mini-vacation earlier this month, sans husband Blake Shelton. The break came during a trip to the Last Frontier for an August 2 show in Anchorage.
Taste of Country Nights Hosts Left With Time to Kill After Playing Sing the Rest With Texas Teen
Taste of Country Nights host Jeremy Robinson and producer Todd found Cecilia to play the fun new game Sing the Rest. It didn't really work out how the guys were planning, with the Texas teen acing the quiz. Listen below for all the fun from Tuesday night's show.
Eli Young Band vs. Taylor Swift – The Showdown
Last night, the Eli Young Band and newcomer Chelsea Bain traded blows until the final minutes of the Showdown on Taste of Country Nights radio.

Indiana State Fair Marks One Year Since Fatal Stage Collapse
It's been one year since the rigging above Sugarland's stage toppled onto excited fans waiting for the band to begin their show at the Indiana State Fair.

Brantley Gilbert Fans Named Most Passionate in Country Music
After seven days of voting, Brantley Gilbert's fans proved what the singer already knew: His supporters are the most passionate in all of country music.

New Songs on the Radio – August 2012

Randy Travis Naked During DWI Arrest
More details are now available regarding Randy Travis' arrest in North Texas on Tuesday night.

Randy Travis Arrested for DWI

Luke Bryan vs. Colt Ford – The Showdown
Today's Showdown is a battle between friends.

'Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye' topped 'One More Sad Song' from Randy Rogers Band on Tuesday, making Bryan's newest single a three-time champion.
Colt Ford, 'Declaration of Independence' – Album Review
On previous albums, Colt Ford backed himself into a tight corner, insisting he's not rap while spitting rap-like messages of country life, love and fun. The singer admits that by aiming to please everyone, he left most feeling a few bites short of a full meal. This isn't a problem on 'Declaration of Independence.'

I found this Tea pot when cleaning out an estate. It has some bruises, but appears to have Silver in it. The tip of the pot that screwed off is missing. The mark on the bottom, appears to be two lions, and the letters,
Stacked that way with ornate detail around each letter and the last two letters are further apart from each other.
I am afraid to clean it because there are other metals involved. Perhaps some copper. Handle is very heavy. Can anyone tell me anything about it? thank you!

Design, UX, and Literature
1,541 comments
Sci-fi writer Bruce Sterling writes a piece for ACM's Interactions magazine about the relationship between design and literature.
Writers cling hard to the word, to semantics, to meaning and sensibility. Design, by contrast, is less verbal. Design is busily inventing new ways to blow itself apart. Design is taking more risks with itself than literature. That is why contemporary design feels almost up to date, while literature feels archaic and besieged.
Design and literature don't talk together much, but design has more to offer literature at the moment than literature can offer to design. Design seeks out ways to jump over its own conceptual walls-scenarios, user observation, brainstorming, rapid prototyping, critical design, speculative design.
My feeling is that most of what Sterling identifies as literature's constraints—magazine word counts, typing apparatuses, readership and so on—speaks mostly to practices of publishing and disseminating fiction rather than creating and understanding it. He also speaks of language's limitations as if they were a bad thing: in her excellent book Hamlet on the Holodeck, Janet Murray makes the point that reading (as well as interaction) is as much about the reader's "active creation of belief" as it is about the "suspension of disbelief". In other words, the sensory and spatial completeness that writing lacks is supposed to be supplied by the reader, which makes reading an inherently challenging cognitive task.
Sterling aptly quotes the designer Charles Eames: "Design is a method of action. Literature is a method of meaning and feeling." I more or less agree with this, but Sterling goes on to hazily suggest that the projects of design and literature (or at least science fiction) are fatally limited, and need to be scrapped in favor of some "new, more general, creative project". Wuh? You mean like books about Twitter written in Powerpoint? Instead of thumb-twiddling about the inability of literature and design to "synthesize" and somehow anticipate the "new century's grander narrative", how about we just stick to the only methods that have ever improved design and fiction with any certainty: research, revision, iteration, and the occasional encounter with genius?
