Weddings can be a blast, but the cleanup can be daunting. If you spent your wedding outside, or you had a long gown, there is a good chance you will need to remove stains from it. There are methods to clean any stains out of your satin wedding dress.
Oxygen-Based Cleaners
An oxygen-based cleaner is effective for cleaning such fabrics as polyester satin and other natural fabrics. With a spoon or straw, mix one scoop of cleaning powder with enough warm water to fill a medium-sized spray bottle. Spray the stains and allow the cleaner to sit for the time specified on the cleaner box. Gently rinse the spots with clean warm water. Allow the dress to hang dry.
Dryel is a a stain remover for delicate clothing. This cleaner comes complete with everything you need to clean the stains. Apply some of the solution to the spots and rub it in with the pads included in the kit. The pads are designed to absorb the stain.
Professional Dry Cleaning
It is difficult to predict how your dress will react to any cleaner. By going to a professional dry cleaner, you ensure you don't make the stains worse or cause irreversible damage to your gown. Dry cleaners have professional tools and solutions to remove stains from dresses.
Immediate Stain Fighting
While at the wedding there are things you can do to help fight stains. Moisten a cloth or white napkins with club soda or clean water. Dab the stain with the napkin, switching to clean parts of the napkin, until a majority of the stain is removed.
There are many companies that offer the preservation of wedding gowns. Preserving a wedding gown involves cleaning the dress and packaging it for long-term storage. It also prevents the dress from yellowing over time. When a dress is preserved, stains are removed as well.
Always spot-test your dress before cleaning a large area to see how the satin will react to the cleaner.
Never use bleach or a stain remover that contains bleach on satin.
Polyester satin can be washed in a machine on the gentle cycle, but it is not recommended with a delicate wedding dress, especially one that includes lace and/or beading.

Crews respond to large brush fire in Carolina Forest
Thu, 31 Oct 2013 16:37:38 GMT —
Crews now have a brush fire at Picket Fence Lane and Carolina Farms Boulevard in the Carolina Forest area under control, according to Julius Graham with Horry County Fire Rescue.
The South Carolina Forestry Commission was called in for extra support in stopping the fire from spreading.
The fire burned about 1-2 acres and units put a water line around the fire to fully contain it, Graham said.
No homes were damaged, Graham added.

Training & Development
Developing Active and Effective Employee Training
As the nature of work-related expectations continues to change, organizations and individuals must adapt to new ways of learning within the workplace. Creating a dynamic environment capable of responding effectively to the demands of continuous change requires empowering employees and may be achieved through training that utilizes active learning.
What Is Active Learning?
Active learning allows participants more control over their environment and the responsibility for learning. Three formal training design elements for guiding participants are used with active learning:
- Cognitive – how is the trainee focusing attention?
- Motivational– where is the effort of the trainee being directed?
- Emotional – in what ways is the trainee "managing" emotions?
These active learning design elements ensure that the employee learns and retains the training objectives through active participation. It allows the participants to explore or experiment with the information or task presented. The information presented gives the trainee an opportunity to infer various principles and strategies for effective performance.
An active learning approach goes beyond "learning by doing" and focuses on how the training affects the trainee cognitively, motivationally, and emotionally.
Traditional learning approaches, such as lectures followed by practice opportunities, are more passive in nature. The key distinction between the active and passive approaches to training is this: with active learning the individual is actually constructing and processing the information while with passive learning the information is simply presented and rehearsed.
How to Include Active Learning in Training
Each active learning design element contains a set of specific components for inclusion in a training program, and ensures that trainees maintain control over their learning.
Cognitive. Instead of expecting trainees to retain information that has simply been presented to them, exploratory learning allows trainees to specifically focus their attention on the task presented. This can be accomplished through:
- Active Exploration – trainee is given minimal guidance, and allowed to freely explore and experiment with the tasks
- Guided Exploration – trainee explores the task in a systematic way, planned by the trainer
Although participants using exploratory methods may perform poorly on training evaluations, their transfer of knowledge and skills back to the job is typically better compared to trainees using traditional, instructive training methods.
Motivational. Framing errors as part of the learning process encourages trainees to maintain their focus and learn from their mistakes. Simply acknowledging that errors will be made positively affects overall performance. In contrast, trainees who are encouraged to avoid errors (often characteristic of passive learning techniques) may perform well during the training, making minimal mistakes, yet are unable to transfer the learning to other settings.
Emotional. Maintaining emotional control during training can help trainees to reduce performance anxiety and decrease negative emotional reactions. Reinforcing positive thoughts or emotions throughout training can be useful, especially during portions of the training that are particularly demanding or difficult. This can be as simple as including emotional cues and statements within the training like "Maintain a positive attitude". This can increase trainees' emotional control, improving both training performance and transfer of training to the workplace.
Practical Implications
Employers who want to use a more active approach to learning must take steps to ensure that trainees are attending to the cognitive, motivational and emotional processes occurring during training sessions. The formal training design elements incorporate exploratory learning, error-tolerance and reinforcing positive emotion can increase active learning in trainees. As with any training development, the overall goals of the training (i.e. mastery of the information) and individual differences of the trainee (i.e. cognitive abilities) must be taken into account; however, active learning can be an extremely useful method for increasing employees' knowledge and skills.

Friday, October 18th, BONOBO returns with his band behind his critically acclaimed album, The North Borders! After completely selling out the House of Blues with support from Shigeto and an afterparty at Primary for a rare DJ set, BONOBO brings his band to the historic Riveria Theatre!
Bear Creek Music & Art Festival has added Galactic x2, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk x2, Bonobo Live Band, The Revivalists, Monophonics, Flow Tribe and Profit to the 2013 lineup along with artists at large Pee Wee Ellis and Ron Haynes. Taking place Novembe
Embrace is the term that best summarizes the exchange between Bonobo and his audience, a welcoming and adoption of the noise that surrounds listeners. Simon Green, a UK native, is a pioneer and mastermind of the downtempo/trip hop sound that is Bonobo. Usually accompanied with a live band, Green holds his ground gracefully above the bass.
I am nobody special, I come from a nobody special family in a nobody special kind of town. However, when I spent Independence Day 2011 at Electric Forest Festival, I felt special. Suddenly I was from the String Cheese Incident's family and I lived in the Sherwood Forest!

Elizabeth Warren Talks Crappy Senate Bathrooms on 'The Daily Show'
Politics can be a dirty game – especially if you are forced to use a tiny restroom.
Appearing on Tuesday's episode of "The Daily Show'' to promote her new book, "A Fighting Chance,'' Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren talked about the struggle for women to be treated equally in government. To highlight her point, Warren told host Jon Stewart how, for years, female legislators were forced to use the Senate's tiny ladies' room.
"This year, for the first time, we now have 20 women in the United States Senate,'' Warren said. "But there was just one, tiny, little women's bathroom.''
"I never saw the men's room, but they seemed to come out OK,'' Warren joked.
The Massachusetts Senator revealed that it wasn't until recently that the Senate finally made it's women's restroom bigger.
"The United States Senate is changing,'' she said. "We now have a bigger ladies' room.''
Beyond the toilet humor, Warren talked seriously about the struggle to reform a government that caters to the interests of corporate lobbyists.
"Washington works for those who can hire armies of lobbyists and lawyers,'' Warren said. "If you're a huge corporation, if you're a billionaire – boy, your voice gets heard in that place.''
Check out more from her interview with Stewart in the video embedded below.

Harry Chamberlin was once called "America's greatest horseman" by The Los Angeles Times.
The Illinois native rode in three Olympic games, was watched by thousands, won a gold and silver medal and led an Army cavalry in World War II. When he died in 1944 as the commander of Fort Ord, he was buried on the Presidio of Monterey.
On Thursday, workers swept debris and cut grass from around his grave and 388 others. His white headstone shows only minor hints of aging, as do most in the picturesque cemetery surrounded by eucalyptus trees.
Yet the Army is now taking steps to ensure Chamberlin's marker, and to some extent his story, are not lost in the sands of time.
The Army has taken thousands of smartphone photos of the headstones of veterans buried on the Presidio of Monterey and 26 other Army cemeteries in an effort to catalog those buried for a new phone application and website.
Relatives of those buried could potentially use the application to view photos of headstones as well as use GPS to zoom in from space to their gravesites.
"It's one more way we can say 'thank you for your service,'" Presidio spokeswoman Tonya Townsell said.
Although the Army's new program is not yet available, a similar application for Arlington National Cemetery allows users to access basic information — such as birth date and service branch — as well as short biographies for some graves.
The effort has less noble beginnings.
The Army came under fire in 2010 when a report from its investigators was released showing widespread problems in its operation of Arlington National Cemetery.
Remains had been misidentified and misplaced, some urns had been unearthed and dumped in a dirt pile and millions of dollars had been lost in botched contracts, according to The Washington Post.
Yet what likely started as a public relations move has become popular with users.
Arlington spokeswoman Sonya Goines said its ANC Explorer application, which launched in October 2012, has had more than 30,000 downloads in six months.
The man who is entering each of the Presidio headstones is Byron Tatsch, an internal auditor at the U.S. Army garrison. Tatsch said after he became familiar enough with the project as an internal reviewer, the Army just decided to put him in charge of the whole thing.
Now, Tatsch in his second-floor office takes each photo, edits it to look appropriate, reviews historic documents and plugs it into a database.
The process is laborious because the pictures have all come in sideways and if someone is walking in the background it needs to be retaken.
"I'm getting it to look like I would want my relatives' headstones to look," he said.
Tatsch said his goal is to be done by June 30. The Army has yet to give a set deadline when the photos will go online.
One thing that makes the Presidio's job easier is that the cemetery is all filled up. The final person buried there, Catherine Raty, joined her husband, Army Lt. Col. Raymond Raty, in July 2011.
The first person buried, George S. Johnson, originally of Alabama, died in 1904.
Chamberlin's daughter, Lydia, said Saturday by phone in Texas that much of his trophies and records had been lost in a fire, making the Army's work comforting.
"So much stuff, historical things, have been lost," she said. "It's wonderful it is going to be preserved online. I'm fascinated."

We went to the Danville Parade once when we first moved here. Never again will we put ourselves through such a display of rudeness and incivility.
As an experiment, remove any time restrictions on allowing people to "reserve" a space with chairs, blankets or whatever. This will really show you what kind of people go to the parade.

Thank God...No more Scully. This one was really over played. I've said it before, if he was doing his job at the time and not the co-pilot, he may have been able to avoid the situation.
Great parade...no banks, no title companies, now get rid of the self serving politicians and the day would have been a total hit.
Rick, At one time there was no restriction on when the chairs came out, that's why the restriction. Chairs were appearing two day's before the 4th. As for rudeness, well let's just say, anytime you get 30,000 people together you're bound to find a few a**holes. I've been going to the parade for about 20 years or so and you are right. I felt the same in those early years, but the folks attending the parade these day's seem to be are less pushy. You should give it another try, if not for you...for your family.

We go down the night before just to see the chairs, even if we don't make the Parade. It's amazing that no steals them. We're a great town and community and our Parade is a great way to celebrate. It brings the town together as do many Danville events. I've been in the Parade over the year's with old PacBell, kids, horses a goat and then with Hospice. It was amazing to slowly pass all those smiling faces waving flags.
And Sully will always be OUR hero whether he was there or not. He did a calm and courageous thing that day. He saved 155 lives. Whomever wrote that from Alamo must be envious...where is THEIR parade?
Keep up the great work Kiwanis and Deanna Sullivan and everyone did a great job. Thank You All !

I haven't missed a parade since 1985, and hope that record continues for many more years! We love the parade, "bumping into" many neighbors, seeing the many "givers" of our community, etc! I feel so blessed to live in a community with community spirit and heart! By the way, while my little 4 yr old grandson loves the parade, his favorite part is the street cleaners! He waited patiently until they arrived, and then WHAT a hit! (It really is impressive to see how efficiently the town is cleaned up after such a massive gathering!)

We used to go to the parade when we moved to Danville 10+ years ago. Our neighbors on our street would congregate at one location at the parade. As our child grew up, we stopped going, but along came our second and we realized this year that he's never been! So, we went down this year and had a fantastic time! There was never any rudeness that I can recall. Yes, it's crowded, but it's a celebration of our freedom and community spirit. It was a fun small-town gathering. Enjoy it for what it is! The Kiwanis did a terrific job!
a resident of Danville
on Jul 8, 2009 at 1:27 pm
A lovely parade and a great day. This is what makes living in Danville special. The Kiwanis does a great job in organizing such a large event.
I have no complaints about rude people. In fact it was the opposite. People were friendly and polite. We took our dog to the parade and the children around us kept her company and she enjoyed the dog treats given out during the parade. I especially enjoyed the creativity of groups like the lawn mower brigade and the grill wars. I hope more groups join in the challenge next year.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Welcome to Mediumystics, Your journey has began.
my name is Kathryn and I would like to share my dream with you.
It is about a place where people could gather in friendship to talk about anything they wish. A haven where different ideas would come together.
Perhaps it is an impossible dream?, The Mediums, Psychics and Teachers would have to be at least equal to the professionals. There would need to be people to help others, as well as keeping things in order so everyone felt welcome. Strangely, once I had built my dream, the right people came without being asked.
Now, all of us at Mediumystics would like to welcome you into out dream where you might find your own.

Ongoing travel and conference restrictions imposed by the U.S. Department of Defense appear to be taking a bite out of special operations research efforts. The latest example appeared on Dec. 20, 2012, with the cancellation of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Joint and Special Operations Program (JSOP) [managed at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division] "Market Research Event" originally planned for Jan. 11-14, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nev.
As explained in the original announcement released in late October 2012, JSOP "conducts research and development directed toward systems, subsystems and components in support of USSOCOM and our nations special operations warfighters."
In that role, JSOP programs focus on five primary technical areas:
- Individual and crew-served weapons;
- Fire control systems;
- Ordnance and munitions;
- Fire support systems; and
- Night vision/electro-optics for handheld, vehicle mounted and weapon mounted applications.
Through the October 2012 announcement, JSOP requested technical submissions from industry that would address a range of prioritized capability gaps. The gaps were reportedly identified and prioritized as a result of the 2012 "USSOCOM Roadmap Summit," which was held between various government users, operators, and program representatives.
As an example, the announcement prioritized certain weapons/lethality requirements (highest to lowest) as:
- Lightweight ammo; sniper systems, assault systems, crew served systems, ammunition;
- Long range 40mm (medium velocity) capability; assault systems, ammunition;
- Improved barrels and suppressors; signature reduction, life extension, sustainable, ammunition;
- Enhanced .50 caliber sniper match grade;
- Sub-sonic ammunition;
- Improved ammunition; sniper, assault;
- Personal defense weapons; assault systems, weapons;
- Clandestine breakdown sniper system; sniper systems, weapons, heavy; and
- Improved handgun.
Industry was invited to submit technical papers addressing these and other identified gaps, with selected papers invited to provide presentations Jan. 11-14 at an identified hotel convention center in Las Vegas. The first three days had been designed for industry briefings and demonstrations while the final day was "intended to convey USSOCOM PEO SOF Warrior Targeting and Engagement Systems roadmaps and capability gaps to interested industry representatives."
The process would have served "to inform industry on true USSOCOM priorities so that industry internal RDT&E efforts can become better focused on specific requirements."
The JSOP/USSOCOM event had been timed and located to run the four days prior to the annual Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show, which traditionally draws the latest examples of many related technologies to another nearby Las Vegas venue. The coincident timing reduced the financial burden for many companies who were attending SHOT and also wished to support the unfunded JSOP/USSOCOM information effort.
However, in its Dec. 20 notice cancelling the government event, the JSOP/USSOCOM community cited "continued DOD restrictions on government hosted events and travel," adding, "Continued industry support is extremely important to meeting the capability requirements of the SOF warfighter and it is our sincere hope that this tremendous support will continue as we move forward to fill these requirements."

The axe has come crashing down on £14.4m of services at Southampton City Council - to cries of "shame", accusations of hypocrisy and claims of a "hatchet job".
At a heated meeting, Labour council bosses approved their budget for 2014/15, which will also see council tax rise by 1.99 per cent and almost 100 jobs go.
And at the meeting yesterday there were fresh warnings that it is set to get much worse before it gets better for the city's embattled finances.
Council bosses at the Civic Centre have already had to find £57m of savings in the past three years.
And the outlook is gloomy for the next few years, with an estimated £54.7m needing to be found by 2016/17.
Labour chiefs have staved off the deepest cuts to frontline services for this year, but with a huge savings target of £30m for 2015/16 it looks increasingly unlikely that they will be able to do so for a second year.
At the meeting leader Cllr Simon Letts attacked continuing Government spending cuts to the city. In particular he said that the city had been "disproportionately" hit in comparison to more affluent authorities, saying that Southampton had received Government grant cuts of £148 per head, as opposed to £27 per person in Winchester.
'Minimum losses' Claiming that his party had concentrated on making efficiencies in every department's budget to avoid the worst cuts, he said: "This is an excellent budget with minimum job losses and minimum service reduction."
But finance boss Cllr Stephen Barnes-Andrews admitted that there was a "huge challenge" ahead, while Labour colleague Cllr Chris Hammond said: "We cannot pretend that things can continue as though it is business as usual."
They defended Labour's record in office, with Cllr Hammond adding: "As an administration there is much to be proud about in this budget, and I think Labour can be proud about what it has achieved.
"I'm not saying there aren't tough choices which have to be made in this budget, and sadly some people will be losing their jobs."
While many of the positions lost through this year's cuts are vacant or will go through voluntary redundancies, 35 people are set to be made redundant.
The opposition parties lined up to attack Labour and the budget, with Conservative finance spokesman Cllr John Hannides saying that Labour had done a "hatchet job" on services.
He added: "We have salami slicing of services and chopping at departmental budgets – there is no clear strategy."
Declaring the Conservatives the "party of the people" he said that his party would have frozen council tax if in power.
He also said that his party would reverse cuts to the City Patrol and out-of-hours noise response service, while raising funds by selling some of the city's artwork, sharing more services with neighbouring authorities and reducing the number of councillors by a third.
His group leader, Cllr Royston Smith, accused Labour of hypocrisy in increasing the size of its Cabinet by 50 per cent while reducing the size of the council's workforce.
Putting People First spelled out a bleak message for the city's finances, with group leader Keith Morrell saying: "This budget has squeezed every efficiency out of department budgets.
"In future there will be nowhere for this council to hide.
"This year we have saved almost £15m, next year we are going to have to find £30m and there is nothing further that can be cut without brutalising frontline services and I'm afraid that is what we will see next year."
The Liberal Democrats were the only party to put forward an official alternative budget, which featured proposals to make 20 fewer redundancies, reverse cuts to street cleaning, bus services and out of hours noise services, and save the City Patrol.
Group leader Cllr Adrian Vinson said that his party's proposals would help to support the city's vulnerable people and minimise service reductions, saying that the proposals were "radical, fair and responsible".
But his group's alternative budget was defeated.
And, as a single shout of "shame on you" came down from the public gallery, Labour councillors unanimously voted to approve their budget, which will now come into force on April 1.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Mack Brown got the camera crews, the extra visitors and anyone who didn't belong out of his locker room. On this Saturday night, he did the talking.
"It was very quiet. They were very disappointed," Brown said. "All they do is go back to work and get ready.
"They're lucky they've got a conference and they're lucky they can start over, and they're lucky they're playing a really good team next week that we haven't played well against."
He must've said more optimistic things than that, because his Texas players who emerged after being thoroughly shut down in the second half of a 44-23 loss to Ole Miss were still espousing faith. That's all they can do after a game like this, which drops the Longhorns to 1-2.
"We have to be confident," senior safety Adrian Phillips said. "If we're not confident we can win the Big 12, we have no chance and the season is a loss. We have no choice but to be confident."
Texas players say this team can still win the Big 12 championship, and from the looks of things this is not yet a dejected group. Brown isn't questioning their effort or want-to, but something greater than execution is missing.
The seniors who lead this team were freshmen when Texas went 5-7. They haven't forgotten how much that depressing collapse of a season hurt. It's their job now to prevent that from happening all over again.
Look at the schedule. There aren't gimme wins anymore, no clear and easy path to six victories. A lot has to change for Texas in a short amount of time.
"We refuse to have another 5-7 season," senior defensive tackle Chris Whaley said. "That was one of the worst seasons Texas has ever had. We just refuse to have another season like that."
When viewed in a vacuum, Texas losing to Ole Miss made sense. The Longhorns were missing their quarterback and their most explosive weapon on offense. They were asking new defensive coordinator Greg Robinson to enact meaningful change in three practices.
But this is a season of no excuses. This is not what Brown has been rebuilding for and not what he expected.
Think about it: A lot needed to happen in the Longhorns' favor on Saturday night if they hoped to win. They needed a Case McCoy-led ball-control offense, with more power rushing than they'd relied on all season, to do just enough. That worked fine in the first half, but three-and-outs doomed Texas in the third quarter.
They needed a defense that had serious problems with the zone read and tackling to suddenly fix those flaws in one week. The Rebels wisely exploited that Achilles' heel to the tune of 221 rushing yards from Bo Wallace and Jeff Scott.
Like BYU before them, they didn't have much need for a passing attack. They ran the same sweep play over and over because nobody could figure out how to stop it.
Texas needed good luck, turnovers, Ole Miss mistakes and all the kinds of things that programs with teams with less talent, coaching and confidence tend to hope for.
That's what it has come to for this Longhorns team, with its 19 returning starters, experience-loaded depth chart and ability to recruit anyone. They aren't playing like a team with more talent than their opponent.
"We just didn't come out and play Texas football, be aggressive, full-speed, fighting, everything," Whaley said.
All they've proved, so far, is that they can beat one of the worst teams in FBS. What comes next is simple: This is a season that must be taken one game -- and week -- at a time.
Brown liked how his team dedicated itself completely to Ole Miss for seven days. He just can't figure out why they're so inconsistent, why they can know exactly what's coming and still not make plays.
The team that comes to Austin next knew this was coming. Don't forget the once-controversial line Kansas State linebacker Tre Walker uttered back in July, calling out the Longhorns for giving up in last season's finale.
"They kind of laid down a little bit," Walker said. "That's nothing to say about their character. That's just what they do."
That's just what 5-7 teams do, too. This group will get back to work and vows the season isn't over. But they'll need a lot more than luck to get this fixed.

Carol Browner is the director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy. Or, at least, she was. Yesterday White House officials announced that the country's top green energy administrator would be leaving her post.
"Carol is confident that the mission of her office will remain critical to the president, and she is pleased with what will be in the [State of the Union address] and in the budget [next month] on clean energy," a White House representative told Politico. "The president's commitment to these issues will of course continue, but any transition of the office will be announced soon."
There's currently no word on who will replace Browner or when the position might be filled.
Browner was the first ever person to hold the postion of director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy, a role she began in January 2009. Prior to that, she spent eight years as the director of the Environmental Protection Agency. She hasn't announced where she'll be going next.

ON THIS MOTHER'S Day, we would like to illustrate the importance of mothers by looking at two women who were important in the life of one of our greatest Americans.
Nancy Hanks Lincoln gave birth on Feb. 12, 1809, to a baby boy who would become America's 16th president. She was an intelligent, kind, loving and religious woman who was loved greatly by young Abraham and his sister, Sarah. A third child, Thomas, died in infancy.
She was a nurturing mother who had great hopes for her children's futures, but she did not live to see them. She died in 1818 at the age of 34.
Abraham was only 9 years old, and Sarah was 11 years old when they lost their mother, but she had done much to shape the character of her children. As a young lawyer, Lincoln told his partner, William Herndon, "God bless my mother. All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to her."
Widower Thomas Lincoln married Sarah Bush Johnston, a widow with three children, about a year later. The relationship between Abraham and his new stepmother was good from the beginning.
She was loving and kind-hearted and appreciated Abraham's intelligence, wit and honesty. She later said he never said a cross word to her or gave her a cross look.
Thomas Lincoln never entirely understood his son's love of reading and thirst for knowledge, but Sarah Bush Lincoln did, and she encouraged him in his studies and learning.
Lincoln left home in 1831 but continued to visit his stepmother regularly throughout his life, including a visit after he had been elected president.
Nancy Hanks Lincoln laid a good foundation for her children, and Sarah Bush Lincoln built on that foundation in a positive, loving way. The contributions of those two mothers helped shape a great American, and by extension, they helped shape our nation.
The love of mothers is one of our country's greatest assets, and it always will be. Not every mother raises a future president, but every mother has the chance to help her child be happy and successful. Abraham Lincoln's mother and stepmother should serve as an inspiration to mothers everywhere.

The Haywoods have one obvious connection to the Front Range music scene: Their debut release, Drinkin' Cryin' & Moanin', appears on Wormtone Records, the Denver label run by rockabilly impresarios (and husband-and-wife team) Kurt and Karen Ohlen. But for Haywoods frontman Chad Silva, the connection to Colorado goes far beyond business. He was born in Loveland, Colorado, and spent the first four years of his life there.
"I remember watching the Denver Broncos when they had Craig Morton," he says, offering a particularly seasonal reference.
After his family moved to California, Silva continued to enjoy time here by spending his summers with his cowboy grandfather in Ellicott, a town east of Colorado Springs. Today Silva can attribute at least part of his current musical efforts to his Colorado past. "My grandfather was a rancher and a professional cowboy, and I think my fascination with him got me into country music," he says from his home in Santa Cruz, California.
Wormtone Records Showcase
Lion's Lair, 2022 East Colfax Avenue
With The Haywoods, Blue Ribbon Boys and Chester Everette and the Ranch Rhythmaires
8 p.m., Monday, September 11
The music would later make a different type of contribution to Silva's family dynamics.
"Country was the thing that I knew would irritate my father the most when I was a teenager," he notes with a giggle. "It was the perfect antidote to my dad, who fought in Vietnam, came back, grew his hair long and was pretty much a hippie. He wasn't affected by my punk phase or the heavy-metal thing -- he took all of those with great grace. But what really demonstrated my rebelliousness toward him was my getting into country. That drove him up the wall."
Today that sense of country music appreciation (and teen spirit) is evident in the music that Silva and his mates (drummer Rick Tahira and new members Carlo DiLiso on stand-up bass and Jason Finley on guitar) perform. Their Wormtone debut is a corn-fed collection of rough-cut rockabilly that eagerly embraces the rhythmic understatement of '50s country. The Haywoods turn their backs on modern, high-speed touches and create a sound that braids Sun Sessions primal rock and East Texas twang into one stinging musical whip.
"One of these days I'll get wise/And open up my bloodshot eyes," Silva sings in one of the CD's many fine tunes. That line is also indicative of the Haywoods' lyrical approach. They swerve away from the habits of some of their peers, who play to lines about vintage hot rods and bopping at the high school hop. Instead, the Haywoods employ the more timeless themes of heartache and the pursuit of women, drinks and release. And they do it with a reckless joy that crackles with a blue-collar demeanor as scruffy as their cuffed jeans and mechanic's jackets.
Drinkin' is a collection of fourteen keenly crafted songs written and sung by Silva and ex-guitarist Johnny Munnerlyn that was recorded with respect for vintage audio by Jose Espinosa (a member of another Wormtone concern, the Sugar King Boys). It's loaded with such loopy gems as "You Burn Me Up," "One Warm Beer (and a Half Pack of Smokes)" and "Bird of a Different Feather." These gritty cuts call to mind a Sun Sessions-era Carl Perkins driven to the edge by folks stepping on his famous suede kicks. Throughout them all, Silva fills the role of crazed country bomper with a voice that resembles some trucker strung out on too many miles and too much cheap speed.
Silva's addled, muscular timbre is surprising considering that his singing heroes include Ray Price and Marty Robbins, two of country's more technically gifted singers. "Ray Price and his band played the best honky-tonk shuffles," Silva says, "but what I love about him is the power and clarity of his voice. Nobody sings that style anymore. A lot of people try to do Lefty Frizzell and George Jones. But Ray Price and Marty Robbins, they really stand out for me." Not that Silva's vocals are anything like those of his heroes, he concedes. "Hey, I'm singing rockabilly," he says. "You listen to George Jones when he was doing rockabilly, he was letting it all hang out. He sounds a lot different. When he did that song 'Rock It,' that is not the soft-voiced George Jones who did 'Color of the Blues.' Rockabilly is totally undisciplined. You're just jumping all over the place and letting it hang out. That's the joy of it."
The joy of the Haywoods also lies in Silva's lyrics and tickling turns of phrase. "The only thing that new country has going for it is the wordplay," Silva says. "Country writers have always had a leg up as far as songsmithing goes, when compared to a lot of rock-and-roll bands. If I listen to some rock band out of Seattle, I have no idea what the guy's singing about; I can't identify with it. At least when I hear country, I can identify with it. Guys like Johnny Cash have always had more of an emphasis on writing.
"And it's a 'country' clever," he adds. "That nudge-nudge, wink-wink kind of thing. There's a lot more going on than you think at first."

On Monday night, Silva and his pals will be headlining a Wormtone Records showcase, appearing on a bill with the label's Blue Ribbon Boys (who have a new 45 out) and Ohlen's own Chester Everett and the Ranch Rhythmaires. It's an impressive bill of locally imprinted music, one that highlights the Haywoods just fine. His group, he notes, is perfect "for those who aren't quite ready to go see a honky-tonk band in full bloom, that want a little more action, something a little more up-tempo than country."
Silva says his act's own speedier numbers are enjoying a few extra RPMs with the addition of new bassist DiLiso, who previously slapped string with English psychobillies the Cut Backs. The extra bursts of speed are giving the band a new niche to explore, Silva says. But he makes it clear his group will never stray too far from its sonic foundation.
"We play a lot of songs about drinking and bleeding hearts," he says, "and even the Tennessee stuff, we don't speed it up, and Carlo will still use the country-beat bass lines." Besides, he notes, "there's enough people out there who like the traditional stuff, who don't expect us to light our britches on fire and spin around the stage. We're not all about doing sixteenth notes in every bass line. We don't need any more speed. We need to slow down a little bit."

Siva themes make extended use of grey-ish colors combined with red text in dialogs for the required contrast, but what is unique about them is the flat-design approach that makes everything look completely flat.
I absolutely loved Siva simplistic design approach and definitely recommend that you should all give it a try and see if it works for you. What is wrong with being flat after all? Abbott says you can still do anything. So does Siva!

Further Study: Read Ellen G. White,
The Law in the Christian Age, Signs of the Times, August 5, 1886.
Why should the apostles teach repentance toward God? Because the sinner is in trouble with the Father. He has transgressed the law; he must see his sin, and repent. What is his next work? To look to Jesus, whose blood alone can cleanse from all sin. Faith in Christ is necessary; for there is no saving quality in law. The law condemns, but it cannot pardon the transgressor. The sinner must depend on the merits of the blood of Christ. -Ellen G. White, Signs of the Times, August 5, 1886.
Let him take hold of my strength, says our merciful Redeemer,
that he may make peace with me, and he shall make peace with me. Our Lord declared that he would love most to whom most was forgiven; and he only will feel that he needs forgiveness who sees himself as he is, defiled by sin, a transgressor of God's holy law. He who has the fullest conviction of the sacred claims of the law, will most clearly see the enormity of his offenses, and will feel that he is indeed forgiven much.
Discussion Questions:
- Carefully read the above statement by Ellen G. White. How does this excerpt shed light on the biblical teachings covered in this quarter? What does it mean that a sinner must
depend on the merits of the blood of Christ?
- Dwell more on the warning in Jude 4. If the men are proclaiming the grace of God, they obviously are believers. Yet, Jude says that they are denying the Lord. What serious implications does this have for those who claim that God's grace nullified the law? When people claim the law was done away with, what are they really trying to get rid of?
- How does the denial of the law, or even of one of the commandments, play into Satan's hands as he seeks to
overthrowthe law of God?

Utah's welfare drug testing saved more than $350,000 in first year, officials say
2012-2013 data shows only 12 tested positive in screenings
aelfraed Ft. Worth, TXAug. 5, 2015 7:11 p.m.
"...cities are reporting a 30 percent spike in violent offenders who are high on synthetic drugs when they commit violent crimes." How do we account for this ? Being druggies, they can not get or hold a job (drug testing/war on drugs); and you know "we've got to get those bums off welfare". What's left for them to do ? It's usually young men, too. Are we to suppose that many more bad people were born so many years ago, "a bumper crop" ? Sometimes, what originates as a political problem ends up being a police problem.
mcdugall Murray, UTAug. 17, 2014 12:16 p.m.
Suggesting that this legislation is a success when you only know why ~4% of the "somewhat randomly selected pool" tested positive for drugs and the remaining 96% did not complete the paperwork is simply silly.
seancampmsw Murray, UTAug. 17, 2014 10:15 a.m.
This article makes a HUGE assumption, that the "250 individuals who stayed away... [and] would have received $350,000 in benefits" all stayed away because they knew they would fail a drug screen. This is completely unverifiable, and a distorted spin to try and make this abysmal failure of a program seem positive. It plays on stereotypes and ignorance of those commenters above who refuse to abandon their individual ideologies that support their "I'm better than they are" mentality, and politicians who need talking points to pander. Why is poverty so frightening to those who "have"? Maybe because it necessitates a good long look in the mirror that some just cannot handle. There for the grace of God go I?
Lorelei Magna, UTAug. 17, 2014 9:48 a.m.
This is not true. They are try trying to play with the numbers to appear they are saving money when in fact only 12 out of 5000 people tested positive for illegal drug use. Padding the money saved by those who didn't agree to test isn't saving you money. Those people may have moved or found work. This isn't about helping people it is about making money for the drug testing company. It is wrong to test people to see if they deserve food. As for,"I have to drug test why shouldn't you" argument, who do you think this benefits? The taxpayers or the drug company and the lawmakers who help them? It is a money making scam that is wasting tax dollars. Let's see who is really making money here and who is benefiting from lying to the public to continue this farce.

1) I'm skeptical of the state's claims
2) I grow weary of a nation that treats drug addiction has a crime and not a public health issue
3) Poor shaming is disgusting. Being poor is not a crime
Badgerbadger Murray, UTOct. 16, 2013 8:24 a.m.
Turtles -
100% of drug addicted parents inflict suffering on their children.
Transferring blame to society only enables the parents to continue to abuse/neglect their children through their addiction.
Society should not take the role of drug use enabler.
Liberal Ted Salt Lake City, UTOct. 16, 2013 7:40 a.m.
Drug testing is not a stigma on poor people. Many of the jobs that I have held, required drug testing upon being hired and while I worked there, they required random drug testing on all employees.
Drug testing is a fact of life in our society. It's a huge liability. And if we can just help one druggie in this effort to turn their life around, then isn't it worth it?
C'mon liberals and democrats where is the bleeding heart to help the one?
Stop The Nonsense El Paso, TXOct. 15, 2013 3:33 p.m.
I think this is a great idea and would support this on a national level in a heartbeat. It offers access to programs to help people overcome their addictions, and at the same time stops subsidizing drug use. If a drug user has limited funds to begin with, he/she has less money available to buy drugs. Give that person food stamps, and all of a sudden the money that used to go towards food can now go towards drugs. How is this a difficult concept?
I do think it's great that people who fail the initial drug test can re-apply for benefits after a time that allows them to get clean, and that those who test positive while receiving benefits do not immediately lose those benefits, but instead are given the chance to receive help. Sounds to me like repentance is pretty central in this program.
Hank Jr Draper, UTOct. 15, 2013 11:44 a.m.
No dope is no joke!
Turtles Run Missouri City, TXOct. 14, 2013 11:17 p.m.
Seems like an odd way to "help" the poor. If children are involved I guess the state and the people on this comment thread are fine with making children suffer for the bad choices of their parents.
@The Final Word - The reason the federal government has involved itself in providing for the poor is because too many local communities have proven that they are incapable or unwilling to help the needy. Look at states like Utah and Texas that turned down the opportunity to expand access to health care coverage for many that could use such help.
troyboy1 Danville, KYOct. 14, 2013 10:07 p.m.
Is this about saving money or helping the poor get off of drugs? It sounds like it is a punishment on people who are already down. And, chances are, that the only people it really hurts are the children of the drug abusers. I say give them the welfare on the spot, while assisting them in treatment. This is one of the most un-Christlike things I've seen out of a "Christian" state. Have some compassion, Utah!
Sasha Pachev Provo, UTOct. 14, 2013 5:19 p.m.
Of course they did not find a lot of failed tests - those who knew they would fail did not apply for the benefits!
I wonder why nobody thinks that drug testing of top athletes might possibly "stigmatize" them. Once an athlete reaches a certain level of performance he has to be available for random drug tests - the doping agency needs to know where he is at all times and can randomly show up at his door anytime to collect a sample. If he is not available, it is a reason to consider the test as failed.

"There is this notion that if you're struggling to find employment, it must be because you're using drugs," said Gina Cornia
So tell us, Gina, why they fail to meet the requirements?
The money does not belong to them, they do not have an inalienable right to it; it is state charity, and as such, the state has the right to set the requirements, to protect the interests of the taxpayers. You know, those poor schleps who have to FUND everything?
"Utah's law also doesn't disqualify people who test positive from receiving benefits. Instead, it requires them to enter substance abuse treatment"
T-seeker and all those who agreed
see the above paragraph BEFORE asking about detox programs.
To the woman take in adultery, He said, "Neither do I condemn thee; go thy way and SIN NO MORE"
I think those who condemn others as being unchristian because they expect people to try to rise above the natural man ALWAYS forget the last three words He said to her.

re: Schwa
Jesus said alot of things. Stop being so selective.
If I recall correctly He always loved people/sinners but never once was He "accepting" of sin.
Seems like the Utah program offers drug treatment to help improve the person and lift them out of the mess they are in.
The problem overall is that govt keeps inserting itself in peoples lives and now we have the pervasive attitude that the govt is supposed to take care of poor people. Many people view it as they no longer "have" to do anything to give service/help people because they pay taxes to the govt to do that.
We all know the govt does a poor job of administering these benefits meanwhile people stand around and no longer have responsibility to help people in need within their communities.
Once again the liberal form of forced "help" really has backfired.
If communities were totally responsible for the poor there would be alot less abuse, the poor who truly are in need would get alot more help, and we would still have more money left over in our pockets by avoiding the govt waste administrating these programs.
Liberal Democrats say no.
Schwa South Jordan, UTSept. 9, 2013 2:24 p.m.
I think that Jesus said that if you want to be next to God you should sell all your worldly possessions and minister to the poor. Never once did I read about Jesus asking someone if they lived a good and virtuous lifestyle BEFORE helping them out. If memory serves, he cohorted with the dredges of society. I tend to think that a lot of people who think they are righteous are really much like the Pharisees of old.
Happy Valley Heretic Orem, UTSept. 9, 2013 9:26 a.m.
As soon as they test any and all politicians randomly maybe in between lobbying sessions than this could be acceptable.
12 people at a cost of 30 thousand dollars?
"There's no information about why those 250 people failed to meet the requirements, so it's a leap to assume they all had drug issues," Cornia said.
Arizona officials believed that testing could save the state $1.7 million a year. But in 2012, three years and 87,000 screenings later, only one person had failed a drug test.Total savings from denying that one person benefits? $560. Total benefits paid out in that time? $200 million.
The trend is…It's a waste of resources that makes some folks feel morally superior and that's about it.
I would like to see an article on who got the contract for the testing in Utah, pretty sure they'll find relationship to wilson or osmond somehow.
Brave Sir Robin San Diego, CASept. 9, 2013 8:43 a.m.
Schwa, if you think Jesus was in favor of poor people continuing to keep themselves trapped in poverty due to addiction while society continues to fund it, you've got some scripture studying to do.
Schwa South Jordan, UTSept. 9, 2013 8:21 a.m.
I grow extremely weary of the poor shaming that goes on in America, and particularly in Utah. For a population that claims to love Jesus Christ so much, I sure feel that he would be disappointed in the failure of our culture to receive his message.
techpubs Sioux City, IASept. 9, 2013 6:57 a.m.
Because many employers require you to pass their Drug screening to obtain and hold a job it only seems right to require that welfare recipients also pass the same screening.
We need to identify them and get them help so that they can pass an employers tests and obtain a position that will help them to remove their family from the welfare rolls.
Jan Jones West Valley City, UTSept. 8, 2013 10:17 p.m.
Drug testing unfairly stigmatizes welfare recipients? "There is this notion that if you're struggling to find employment, it must be because you're using drugs."
My husband, both my daughters, my son and I ALL had to pass a drug test in order to work at our places of employment. In addition, random drug tests are sometimes given. My husband had to take one about two months ago. Can someone please explain to me why it's okay to have to pass a drug test in order to find and retain employment, but drug testing welfare applicants stigmatizes them? 'Cause I really don't get it.
one old man Ogden, UTSept. 8, 2013 8:55 p.m.
I'm accused of being a rampant liberal, but this is one conservative idea I can fully embrace.
I just hope that when someone tests positive, they are at least offered treatment.
Truthseeker SLO, CASept. 8, 2013 5:33 p.m.
Utah ranks fourth in the nation in deaths from prescription drug overdoses, according to the CDC.
Are there drug treatment and detox programs available for the poor?
DN Subscriber 2 SLC, UTSept. 8, 2013 5:24 p.m.
"Opponents of the policy say it unfairly stigmatizes poor people."
Dear "opponents"- the policy withholds rewards from people who are violating other laws.
If YOU want to voluntarily give YOUR money to a bunch of unrepentant and unreformed druggies, go ahead, but I do not want a penny of my TAX dollars going to them.
People need to be responsible for their choices, and if you choose to do drugs, you forfeit any claim to public welfare. If you choose to rob banks, you do not get to keep the proceeds. If you walk in middle of the freeway at night in dark clothes you may forfeit your life, but it is not the job of taxpayers to prevent you from doing stupid or illegal stuff.
And, a drug test that relies on written questions instead of either 100% screening or at least random tests of everyone is a joke to begin with. Military members are ALL (officer and enlisted) subject to random tests at any time, why not welfare recipients?
Meanwhile, saving $350,000 with an investment of $30,000 sounds like a great investment to me. 100% testing would probably save millions.

2010 tour
London, UK ... May 25, 2010... Bush Hall
If you attended this show, please send in reviews and photos (contact form here or email to Colin ...at... HopeSandoval.com).
- From Kalevi: It is 20 years now since I got introduced to Mazzy Star. It must have been by MTV which wasn't the crap you see the days.They were actually heading for they golden period as Music Television then.That really happened with Nirvana who forced the channel to play proper music even daytime for a couple of years.But even before Kurt & co they had a program called 120 Minutes on Sunday nights if I remember right introduced by Paul King or was it Ray Cokes. Maybe both on their turn.
That program on MTV was 120 minutes of indie music and indie really was indie then. The videos weren't often up to much but the music wasmostly interesting.These were the years in the end of shoegazing period and besides that very English phenomenon in music they played a lot American alternative stuff as well and that was a lot harder to come by in Finland. You might get the records from few very specialized music shops but first you had to know what you were after and that's were 120 Minutes made themselves useful to people with post punk neo psychedelic wide tastes like me then.
So it's probably 120 Minutes where I heard and saw Hope Sandoval the first time.Or maybe it was a music bi-monthly called Option or another one called The Bob which actually was a tabloid then. My first Mazzy Star record She Hangs Brightly I bought as a vinyl LP when released and what also got me interested was that I already had records by the Rain Parade and the Dream Syndicate.The latter even played a gig in Finland.And of course from Rain Parade via Opal came Mazzy Star with only guitarist David Roback and Hope there as a duo. Mazzy Star recorded three albums of which I think the first is the strongest. It still is the best place to start if you are a newcomer to Hope Sandoval's music.
Of the people who filled Bush Hall in Shepherd's Bush in London for two nights on Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th May most seemed to be well informed on all things Hope. I myself had booked my ticket in the start of March when it had gone down to 18 tickets left. It was time to act. You don't get this opportunity often and it's even more rare if you are Finnish.
Now I have both of the Hope Sandoval and The Warm Inventions albums but I must admit I realised I hadn't been listening them keenly enough to recognize even half of the songs in the set but it still was a night to enjoy. In concerts like this you get feeling of being part of some half secret tribe or let's face it, a cult. Mazzy Star was quite well known -- popular even -- in the beginning of 90s that culminating with them having a song "Tell me now" in Batman Forever movie 1995.
Of the two Warm Inventions records the latter Through the Devil Softly from 2009 is definitely the stronger which bode well for the live concerts.Hope being sort of secretive and shy person I couldn't really imagine there would be a full electric band behind her on these gigs.Sandoval's netsite only mentions Hope and Colm Ó Cíosóig from which you could think they would perform as a duo and maybe do that elsewhere after this.
Hope Sandoval and The Warm Inventions had Irish band Dirt Blue Gene as warm up act and then after them there was a guitar player alone who in his turn was joined by other musicians on a jam and as I turned most af the musicians were to be the Warm Inventions as well for the night and maybe other nights to come. I really don't have that clear a picture of who all the players besides Hope and Colm where.We live in the age of modern communication but sometimes you have to feel it would really help if the bands would introduce themselves when on stage. I remember seeing a catalog of gigs in various places by change without ever knowning who I've seen or heard. So come on you musicians, introduce yourself - even once. There can't be no word of mouth if audiences don't know the magic word and by that I only sometimes mean the name of the band.
Dirt Blue Gene emerged as a sort a psychedelic jam band without the solos there were in improvised electric music of the late 60's and early 70's. But they build up some quite impressive peaks - and the same was to be with the band when playing with Hope. It was about 21:50 when Hope Sandoval and The Warm Inventions started. Before that a voice - their bass player I think - announced "Thank you for coming. Let us remind you that there will be no photography whatsoever tonight".
The hall had been dark all night and by this time it had become even darker. With many people insisting to sit on the floor in the beginning of the evening there were many instances when someone almost walked on somebody when coming in through the door from the lights of the bar. Also the Japanise couple next to me on the right wall from the stage must been bit disappointed having all the taller people gathering in front of them now.Not the best of views they first looked to have.
As I didn't make notes I can't tell to song list or anything. It's only human to go with the ones you know. On the new record Trouble is the strongest song to me and so it seemed to be for most of the audience. Suzanne from Bavarian Fruit Bread got even warmer reception. It's a funny sort of hyprid song not close enough to the original from Leonard Cohen to be a cover but close enough to call it an answer song to the original maybe.The set seemed to constitute most of the new album.
As I was close the stage a right I had the nice feeling of my trouser legs vibrating along the bass lines so that should tell you that the band really played electric. As for Hope she was all we could ask for, the dreamy voice with the spacey songs. Besides singing she played the glockenspeil now and then and harmonica couple of times in first three songs. The harmonica sound was used more like a feedback effect and you could tell that Hope wasn't so sure of herself with blowing the thing because it was the only time I saw her flash a smile turning back to band the second time trying.
As for the photography nobody flashed anything and behaved up to the expectation. For what turned out the last two songs of the set I want back to the hall and only then realised there was a projector show behind the band on the wall. That worked really well for the encore (Satellite?) with waves of a storm and every sorts of things that brought the night to a powerful end with the band still adding extra force when she left the stage. So there it was, the first time after 20 years of being a fan I saw Hope Sandoval.
My native language is Finnish but I tried to write this in English because there aren't any reviews on the Hope Live topic really.
the band
