As a pony girl I had always envisioned Kentucky as being full of horses. Overflowing with horses, even. Maybe that's not so true of Newport. No matter, from my very brief trek over it's fine without the horses.
(more to come)
A state-of-the art facility, the Newport Aquarium brings to the banks of the Ohio River some of the world's most advanced, creative technology -- not to mention amazing animals -- all designed to take you around the globe, visiting each continent, every ocean and hundreds of waterways in between.
And what a way to travel: Underwater tunnels. See-through floors. Walk-around exhibits. And a touch pool. No one before has combined, with such mesmerizing flare, the magic of entertainment and the power of education.
We'll sweep you away . .
How It All Began
The Newport Aquarium grew out of the vision of five Greater Cincinnati businessmen who wanted to share with the city their mutual love for fish and the environment.
Planning began in 1990. Groundbreaking took place in November 1997. Less than 18 months later, the doors opened May 15, 1999.
Since opening the Newport Aquarium has hosted millions of visitors, resulting in a tremendous annual economic impact on the Greater Cincinnati area.
On May 29, 2004, the Newport Aquarium opened a new permanent exhibit featuring Asian small-clawed river otters, lorikeets and pythons. This exhibit is part of a $4.5 million expansion paid for with private funds. Temporary/rotating exhibit and additional event space is slated to open in 2005.
Art That Surrounds You
His precision with a paintbrush is matched only by his eye for light, color and pure captivation. He's Eric Henn, a Franklin, Ohio, native whose artistry will surround you with 17 wall-blanketing murals. He'll carry you to the dark, humid Southern Bayou... to the frightening ocean's depths where giant squid and great whites roam...to the colorful tranquility of the coral reef.
Each mural is so intricate and lavish, they'll invite you to step inside.
An Arctic scene, stretching 120 feet long and 22 feet high, beckons you to join nearly 100 playful seals balancing on icebergs. Notice the two polar bears, so life-like you can see each hair in their wintry coats and their warm breath as it hits the arctic air. Eric spent nearly three full days painting each bear, with more than 40,000 brush strokes and 32 colors devoted to their fur coats alone.
A 25-foot long Plesiosaur with sharp-toothed mouth open wide, sends a shiver right through you as it harks back to the days of dinosaurs.
The colorful Coral Reef scene surrounds you with the beauty of the deep as you enter the Aquarium. This is our longest mural, measuring 98 feet long. It's also our most detailed, requiring 35 days or 420 hours to complete. One detail: there are more than 500 bubbles streaming from the featured diver's mask.

One of the Nation's Largest Open-Air Shark Viewing Exhibits
Five of the World's Only Seamless Underwater Tunnels
Designed to Dazzle
It's not just our curious critters that amaze and captivate. Our building is more than spectacular, too. In fact, we've put just as much energy and ambition into our interior design as we have into our animal selection. We think you'll agree that the result is nothing short of amazing. Here's a sneak-peak at what's inside:
Seamless Acrylic Tunnels
Look Ma, No Bands! Our underwater tunnels, totaling 200 feet, are among the very few in the world that are completely seamless. Designed and manufactured in Colorado, each is one solid piece of acrylic, resulting in a 100% unobstructed view of the watery world that surrounds you. You'll walk on the wet side in a Kelp Forest; a Moray Eel Hideaway; a flooded Amazon Rainforest; a colorful Coral Reef; and a shark feeding ground, Surrounded by Sharks.
See-Through Floors
Step lively 'cause sharks are swimming and 'gators slinking under foot! We've added three sections of acrylic flooring that give you one of the most unexpected views in the country. In 'Gator Bayou, a wooden footbridge that crosses a reptilian swamp, is fitted with two large see-through sections, so that, without notice, you're looking down into the beady eyes of ferocious man-eaters. You'll step onto a third piece of acrylic in Surrounded by Sharks, where swarming predators will be on all sides, overhead and, suddenly, underneath you. Unsettling? You bet ya.
Visiting the Aquarium
Some of the world's most magical and mysterious underwater creatures are showcased here with unrivaled engineering marvel and a heavy splash of showmanship.
The Newport Aquarium features thousands of animals and nearly 600 species, including tropical sharks, Antarctic penguins, American alligators and fish from all over the world. In all, there are 66 exhibits totaling one million gallons of fresh and salt water.
Conveniently located, easily accessed and staffed by a family friendly team, we'll make your visit as enjoyable as it will be entertaining and educational.
Allow two hours for your visit. You won't want to miss a thing.
The Newport Aquarium is open 365 days a year, with extended summer and holiday hours to maximize visitor enjoyment. Open daily: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
The Plaza is filled with all types of places. Newport Aquarium, I-Max Theatre etc..is here. Check for parking here underneath before you check the outside lots. I think it might be cheaper. We paid for $8.00 all day parking in the outside lot. This picture is on the 2nd level.
This picture is on the 2nd level.
I don't know why they call this the purple people eater bridge?
the Purple People Bridge was at one time a railroad bridge. The folks here bought the bridge,renovated it to accomodate foot traffic,and painted it lavender. It spans the Ohio River from Newport on the Levee to Cincinnati.
I walked to the Cincinnati side just to say I had walked from Kentucky to Cincinnati over the river. It is about 1/2 mile across and decorated with flower planters and emergancy phones are located at intervals on the bridge.
this is a barge traveling downstream under the bridge.
This is one of the riverboats that dock at Covington which is sight of Newport. I believe this one of the dinner boat cruises.

What's It Like:
The neighborhood started in 1960 as a development around the private Hidden Valley Country Club. Homes have spread to the east and north from the golf course and are slowly creeping up the hills. Hidden Valley is separated from the main part of the city by a public golf course, Rosewood Lakes, and the UNR Main Station Farm. It's quiet and has no thru traffic, though that may change.
The main road into Hidden Valley is Pembroke Dr. A second entrance is Mira Loma Dr., which intersects Hidden Valley Dr. to take you into the heart of the neighborhood.
Learn more from the Hidden Valley Homeowners' Association.
Hidden Valley is on the outside of the McCarran Blvd. ring road. The east side is backed up by mountains and Hidden Valley Regional Park. To the north, the UNR Main Station Farm and Steamboat Creek mark development boundaries. To the south is open space with some marshland where Steamboat Creek spreads out. On the west side, Rosewook Lakes Golf Course provides a buffer between Hidden Valley and more dense neighborhoods along McCarran Blvd.
Walk Score:
12 out of 100 - Car-Dependent. (Walk Score describes area amenities and estimates the walkability of a neighborhood using the address entered for its search.)
Real Estate Notes:
Just like anywhere else, homes next to the golf course or up the hill with views command higher prices. With those things in mind, buyers can find prices starting in the low $200s and climbing well past $500. Of course, this price range could change dramatically considering the volatile nature of real estate these days. Homes from the beginning of the development are over 40 years old, with brand new homes available in The Bluffs at Hidden Valley.
Along Mira Loma Dr., at the south end of Rosewood Lakes Golf Course, is a condo development called Heron's Landing.
Neighborhood Concerns:
Flooding has been a problem in areas near Rosewood Lakes and Steamboat Creek. This should become less of a concern as work is continuing on Truckee River flood control, which should give the Hidden Valley area better drainage in the future.
Another issue is what is being called the SouthEast Connector, a proposed road through the Hidden Valley area between Sparks and south Reno. That would end the no thru traffic situation for this neighborhood. The Regional Transportation Commission SouthEast Connector website has details on this issue.
Nearby Public Schools:
Hidden Valley Elementary School
2115 Alphabet Dr., Reno, NV 89502. (775) 857-3150.

Post Office:
Reno Main: 2000 Vassar St., Reno, NV 89510. (775) 788-0785.
Calling the Cops:
To ask questions and request information, the non-emergency number for Reno PD is 775-334-2121. For real, life-threatening police emergencies, always dial 911. That also goes for medical and fire emergencies.
Getting Reno City Government Assistance:
The gatekeeper for city information and services requests is called Reno DIRECT. Phone (775) 334-2099 and you'll get a live human (though you might have to wait your turn).
Nearby Shopping:
The Mira Loma Center is on the corner of Mira Loma Dr. and McCarran Blvd. There you will find Longs Drugs, Scolari's Supermarket, and numerous small businesses such as restaurants, a gas station and convenience store, and even a McDonald's.
At the corner of Longley Lane and McCarran Blvd. is a cluster of businesses, including another gas station, a car wash, restaurants, auto repair shops, and a bank.
It's only about 5 minutes west on McCarran to the Meadowood Mall. From a shopping standpoint, Hidden Valley is in a convenient location.
Neighborhood Parks:
Hidden Valley Regional Park is right in the backyard. Its best feature is miles of hiking trails, some of which take you up on the mountains for spectacular views of the Truckee Meadows. If you get up to the ridge, you can see over to the east toward Fernley. Trails are multi-use, so share with horses and mountain bikers.
Rosewood Lakes Golf Course is public and owned by the City of Reno. Even if you don't play golf, it provides a greenbelt and buffer from the busy city.
Mira Loma Park, on the corner of Mira Loma Dr. and McCarran Blvd., has big playing fields and playgrounds for the younger set. Right next door is Rattlesnake Mountain Skatepark, one of the biggest around at 40,000 square feet.

How do I reach Jan Chipchase @ Nokia and why is Apple so bad?April 14th, 2008
If you need to reach Jan Chipchase, the best, and sometimes only, way to get him is on his cellphone. The first time I spoke to him last fall, he was at home in his apartment in Tokyo. The next time, he was in Accra, the capital of Ghana, in West Africa. Several weeks after that, he was in Uzbekistan, by way of Tajikistan and China, and in short order he and his phone visited Helsinki, London and Los Angeles. If you decide not to call Jan Chipchase but rather to send e-mail, the odds are fairly good that you?ll get an ?out of office? reply redirecting you back to his cellphone, with a notation about his current time zone ? ?GMT +9? or ?GMT -8?
We need to understand that space and time have been subverted by the digital revolution
The comedian Bill Bailey describes reading Stephen Hawkings? A Brief History of Time. In it Hawking suggests the universe could be 3 possible shapes. These are:
1). Long and thin like a piece of tagliatelle
2). Round like a marble
3). Saddle shaped
Bailey finds it hard to deal with the notion that our universe could be saddle shaped In fact he says that Hawkings should say that the universe is saddle shaped that is strapped t a giant donkey being led up and down an intergalactic beach by God.
The point is that our once familiar analogue world, which we understood no longer exists in our digital universe. As Bailey observed, in the days of Christopher Columbus it was easier to buy a 'To the edge and back ticket."
My point is, we don?t know what shape our new digital universe is. We have to learn to navigate and describe it. And that is exactly what Chipchase is doing..
Chipchase has worked for the Finnish cellphone company Nokia as a "human-behavior researcher." He?s also sometimes referred to as a ?user anthropologist.? To an outsider, the job can seem decidedly oblique. His mission, broadly defined, is to peer into the lives of other people, accumulating as much knowledge as possible about human behavior so that he can feed helpful bits of information back to the company ? to the squads of designers and technologists and marketing people who may never have set foot in a Vietnamese barbershop but who would appreciate it greatly if that barber someday were to buy a Nokia.
Identity and community
A Mississippi bowling alley, he will say, is a social hub, a place rife with nuggets of information about how people communicate. ( here 2 ) A photograph of the contents of a woman?s handbag is more than that; it?s a window on her identity, what she considers essential, the weight she is willing to bear. The prostitute ads in the Brazilian phone booth? Those are just names, probably fake names, coupled with real cellphone numbers ? lending to Chipchase?s theory that in an increasingly transitory world, the cellphone is becoming the one fixed piece of our identity.
Start with a laugh and work backwards
Bil Bailey is a comedian and he is asked how he comes up with his jokes. Bill says
I start with a laugh and works backwards. What do I need to do to create that about of laughter!! What is the higher order currency we are creating for our endusers?
If that is lost in translation, this means, what is the greatest customer experience you can create and do that in such a way that they want to come back and do it gain and again and again?
And this is what Chipchase is looking for
This sort of on-the-ground intelligence-gathering is central to what?s known as human-centered design, a business-world niche that has become especially important to ultracompetitive high-tech companies trying to figure out how to write software, design laptops or build cellphones that people find useful and unintimidating and will thus spend money on. Several companies, including Intel, Motorola and Microsoft, employ trained anthropologists to study potential customers, while Nokia?s researchers, including Chipchase, more often have degrees in design. Rather than sending someone like Chipchase to Vietnam or India as an emissary for the company ? loaded with products and pitch lines, as a marketer might be ? the idea is to reverse it, to have Chipchase, a patently good listener, act as an emissary for people like the barber or the shoe-shop owner?s wife, enlightening the company through written reports and PowerPoint presentations on how they live and what they?re likely to need from a cellphone, allowing that to inform its design.
However it still took a PC company to turn out one of the most disruptive pieces of handset design and wake up the entire industry. And of course that company was Apple. In How Apple Got Everything Right By Doing Everything Wrong Is the complete antithesis of Chips work and process. Wired explains….
But by deliberately flouting the Google mantra (don't do evil – sic), Apple has thrived. When Jobs retook the helm in 1997, the company was struggling to survive. Today it has a market cap of $105 billion, placing it ahead of Dell and behind Intel. Its iPod commands 70 percent of the MP3 player market. Four billion songs have been purchased from iTunes. The iPhone is reshaping the entire wireless industry. Even the underdog Mac operating system has begun to nibble into Windows' once-unassailable dominance; last year, its share of the US market topped 6 percent, more than double its portion in 2003.
It's hard to see how any of this would have happened had Jobs hewed to the standard touchy-feely philosophies of Silicon Valley. Apple creates must-have products the old-fashioned way: by locking the doors and sweating and bleeding until something emerges perfectly formed. It's hard to see the Mac OS and the iPhone coming out of the same design-by-committee process that produced Microsoft Vista or Dell's Pocket DJ music player. Likewise, had Apple opened its iTunes-iPod juggernaut to outside developers, the company would have risked turning its uniquely integrated service into a hodgepodge of independent applications ? kind of like the rest of the Internet, come to think of it.
And now observers, academics, and even some other companies are taking notes. Because while Apple's tactics may seem like Industrial Revolution relics, they've helped the company position itself ahead of its competitors and at the forefront of the tech industry. Sometimes, evil works.
It's an interesting dilemma – an open and consultative approach to learning and design or one that is more, shall we say – insular. Yet I believe its not one nor the other. Personally coming from a design background – one can identify with a singular vision, and an uncompromising approach to design. Marc Newson is another good example of visionary design brought to the public fore by an individual. SMLXL's work with Masterfoods and The Coca Cola Company was delivered by having a very singular idea of making breakthrough products and the brands that wrapped themselves around those propositions. This was the first asymetric designed botle in the entire history of the CocaCola Company. Everyone said including the leading lights in R&D said it could not be done. I begged to differ as I argued it was a fundamental part of the experience and the communication. Had we left it to committee we would have ended up with something a little more prosaic.
An Apple vs. a Nokia approach are a different form of leadership and investigation into technology, products and how that benefits society.
My one beef perhaps is with the Nokia N80. A great little device, which has one flaw – its rubbish at taking pictures in poor and ambient lighting. This is because as I understand it, the Nokia designers wanted a certain kind of design effect which superceded certain issues around optimal photographic performance. Now that is unforgivable. This issue came up whilst I was in Japan recently.
So Apple and Marc Newson give us their unadulterated vision of design. Its uncompromising and its all very very beautiful – Me I worship at the alter of Apple – Nokia well as The New York Times explains…
…the possibilities afforded by a proliferation of cellphones are potentially revolutionary. Today, there are more than 3.3 billion mobile-phone subscriptions worldwide, which means that there are at least three billion people who don?t own cellphones, the bulk of them to be found in Africa and Asia. Even the smallest improvements in efficiency, amplified across those additional three billion people, could reshape the global economy in ways that we are just beginning to understand.
And that is also a very worthy cause and one I also subscribe to. Equally both Newson and Apple appeal not to Nokia's vision of connecting everyone, or indeed, to better enable people to connect. Scale in terms of Newson and Apple are debatable here. Because It will be a while before we get iPhones being the mainstay of Africa or even people driving around in 021C Cars.
And "The mobile phone is the cheapest object of personal aspiration."

A former Richland resident will stand trial on charges of having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl in 2005.
Magisterial District Judge Suzanne Blaschak on Wednesday ordered Richard Bone, 46, to stand trial on felony counts of statutory sexual assault; involuntary deviate sexual intercourse; aggravated indecent assault; unlawful contact with a minor; corruption of minors and endangering the welfare of children.
Bone also faces two misdemeanor counts of indecent assault. He now lives in Hampton.
His formal arraignment is set for Feb. 21; he is free from jail on a $25,000 bond.
The alleged victim, who is now 22, told Northern Regional Police that Bone was a family acquaintance who started "courting" and then had a sexual relationship with her in 2005 when she was 15, the criminal complaint states.
It is a felony offense for a person to engage in sexual intercourse with someone who is under age 16 if that person is four or more years older and the two are not married.

The Art of Storytelling – Ira Glass / This American Life
Mar 26
Sometime in 2006, Guy Kawasaki asked Seth Godin:
Question: What is an example of company that created a brand by conducting a dialogue with customers?
Answer: You don't know many either, do you Guy? Ahh, we agree! I think that while markets are conversations, marketing is a story. Starbucks creates conversations among customers, so does Apple. The NYSE makes a fortune permitting people to interact with each other. But great marketing is storytelling, and if you've been to a Broadway show lately, you'll notice that audience participation is discouraged. That doesn't mean that great playwrights don't listen! They do. They, like great marketers, listen relentlessly. They engage in offline conversations constantly. They poll and they do censuses and most important, they have true conversations with small groups of real people. But THEN, they tell a story.
(Source: Guy Kawasaki – How to Change the World: Ten Questions with Seth Godin)
So, lets talk about storytelling…

So what are the components of a good story?
Ira Glass on Storytelling – Part #1:
Ira Glass on Storytelling – Part #2:
Ira Glass on Storytelling – Part #3:
Ira Glass on Storytelling – Part #4:
"The Power of the anecdote is so great…No matter how boring the material is, if it is in story form…there is suspense in it, it feels like something's going to happen. The reason why is because literally it's a sequence of events…you can feel through its form [that it's] inherently like being on a train that has a destination…and that you're going to find something…"
— Ira Glass
Good stories have a particular structure that is easy to learn.
Here are a few of Ira's building blocks:
- In its most basic form – a story is really just a sequence of actions/events – first this happened, then this, then that, etc.
- It feels like something is about to occur.
- It's not about logic, it's not about argument or reason, it's about motion.
- Action action action, thought (anecdote), moments of reflection.
- Listening to the actions is not as satisfying, if you don't go on to "what's the bigger universal something that this moment is an example of?"
- Before you start working on your story, plan a universal take-away. Name it. Stories make a point.
- Provide a "bait." The anecdote should raise a question right from the beginning.
- Raise questions, provide a moment of reflection for the reader/viewer/listener to answer them in their head, then answer them yourself.
- Suspense – created by the sense of forward motion. Hold people's attention
- Why is this moment so powerful?
- Pattern: alternate between anecdote and moment of reflection
- Good stories have characters in them.
- Good stories make people stick around / don't want to leave.
- Essay form vs. "something is about to happen"
- Have something surprising. Surprising moments tell you more than anything else
- Humor is important. Lack of funniness is failure.
- Discover things (and let the viewer/reader/listener discover them with you). Give them a new thought, a new way of looking at things.
- Storytelling is not always about the story, it's about getting across a feeling
- Music, sounds, visuals add to the story (suspense, feelings, emotions, etc)
- Who is your target audience? Who are you telling this story to?
- Talk like yourself, be yourself. Don't try to be someone else. Don't try to talk like the people you hear on TV/radio.
- Inherent in a story, is the personality and emotion of that person telling it.
- You are a part of the story, but don't be the main part of the story.
- You need some drama, interaction with others, to make the story interesting. Have your characters interact with other people / each other.
- Discovering / writing great stories is hard work.
- Video and audio production is about hard work and a bit of luck. You have to record a lot of stuff to make something memorable.
- If it doesn't work…quit. NEXT. Move on to another story.
- It takes a long time to get good.
Is creative advertising = story telling?

Video: T.I. Gets His Wings Back
After serving seven months behind bars and three months in a halfway house, T.I. touched down in New York for the first time since he was incarcerated. The King of the South was gracious to TMZ's cameras when they caught up with him at the airport with girlfriend Tiny in tow.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Tip compared his new album King Uncaged to Tupac's 1996 classic All Eyez on Me, which was released months after Pac got out of prison. "This is the most significant return from incarceration that the game has had since then," he said.Tweet

In her Sept. 4 letter Myra Jones states that those who deny global warming lack credibility. In that connection, she may want to consider the fact that 60,000 years ago, glaciers covered the upper Midwest from Ohio to Iowa. And 60,000 years ago, man had barely emerged from the ooze and was completely incapable, through his actions, of influencing climate change.
Yet, the glaciers melted and receded all the way back up to Canada and created the great lakes as they did. These are indisputable facts and convincingly prove that climate change is cyclical, not caused by man.
So-called scientists pontificate about how man's activities increase CO2 levels and thereby cause global warming, but fail to mention that one major volcanic eruption can produce more CO2 than all the man-made CO2 sources on the globe combined.
Additionally, it has recently been reported that over the past 10 or more years, the average temperature has actually decreased.
Sounds to me like the left's insistence that the Earth is warming is just more hot air, which, I suppose, could contribute to global warming.
However, until someone comes up with a credible, verifiable explanation of how man's activities caused the glaciers to melt, I'm going to continue believing that the planet is doing its own thing, unaffected by man's insignificant actions.

Community Regional Medical Center's five-star-rated Hip Replacement Program and Knee Replacement Program consistently rank among the best in the nation.
In the recovery room you will gradually wake up, and you may feel groggy from the anesthesia. You may hear your nurse telling you surgery is over.
You will be encouraged to get out of bed and walk, usually within the first day after surgery. As you become more active, your main goal will be to get used to the feel of your new joint and prepare yourself for living with your new hip or knee. You'll be able to go home when your doctor determines you can use your new joint, your body temperature is normal and you are able to get in and out of bed by yourself.
When it is time to leave the hospital, the hip and knee replacement team will talk with you about:
Before surgery you will receive an IV to supply necessary medicines and fluids. You may begin receiving anesthesia through this tube. There will be other wires or tubes to monitor your body's functions, remove excess fluid and help you breathe during surgery. Your hip and knee area will be scrubbed with a germ-killing soap. When the sterilization process is complete, your surgeon will begin.
Your pre-admission visit:
Once your surgery has been scheduled, you will be invited to the hospital for a detailed pre-admission visit. Be sure to make a list of medications you are taking and bring it with you. This visit may also involve chest X-rays, an electrocardiogram (EKG), blood tests and a urine analysis.
You may be asked to:
Our dedicated team will be there every step of the way. Feel free to call us with any questions or concerns you might have about joint replacement surgery.

Knightdale councilman Mike Chalk has served the town of Knightdale well during his tenure on the council. And, like anyone else for whom legislating is not a full-time job, we certainly believe he has the right to earn a decent living.
It's also important to remember, though, that public officials, including elected ones, have a responsibility not to make use of the public trust to gain personally on a financial basis.
Oh, sure, he should be able to enjoy the benefits of residency just as much as the next person. A new park, a well-planned neighborhood, a strong recreation program should add to the quality of his life much as it does for everyone else.
Sitting behind the council table should not, however, be an open door to negotiate contracts with favorable terms between the town and a company he is somehow involved in.
Chalk has said repeatedly that he has not profited from his relationship with Carolina Landscape Services, a company that maintains the town's roadway medians.
It's hard, though, for the average person to swallow the argument that Chalk hasn't benefited when the contract includes indications that he is involved with the company. It's hard to reconcile that argument when one of Chalk's family members works for that company. Chalk argues that he's broken no rules and has not violated the ethics policy of the town. But Chalk voted to award the contract to the company even though his son worked there. And he did so without acknowledging that fact.
Sure, other council members may have known of the relationship, but it's not at all clear that the public was aware of it.
But perception can sometimes be as powerful as the truth. Knightdale taxpayers watch as their money goes to a company that one of the council members is intimately involved in. On its face that seems improper. And if it isn't, it should be.
Many of us would love to buy a job the way some Gov. Pat McCrory campaign staffers seem to have done. In the absence of that, perhaps the next best thing is to run for the town council in Knightdale so one can steer a few dollars their own way – or at least in the direction of some of their loved ones.

Since the release of his first album in April 1986, Bruce Hornsby has created a musical life that has expanded far and wide to include a broad stylistic range of activity. Hornsby, an twelve-time Grammy nominee, has won three Grammys in 1987 with his band, the Range for "Best New Artist" for their debut album The Way It Is; in 1989 for "Best Bluegrass Recording" for his version of his hit "The Valley Road" which appeared on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Volume II; and his third Grammy in 1993 for "Best Pop Instrumental Performance" for "Barcelona Mona," created with Branford Marsalis for the Barcelona Olympics. Bruce's latest nominations were in 2004 for "Song F", from his Columbia album Halcyon Days, and in 2006 for "Song H" from his box set Intersections.
Hornsby's twelve albums have sold over 11 million copies worldwide. The title cut from The Way It Is (1986) was the most played song on American radio in 1987, winning the ASCAP "Song of the Year" award. In 1989, he co-wrote the classic "The End of the Innocence" with Don Henley, a Top 10 record for him. Harbor Lights was the 1994 winner of the Downbeat Reader's Poll Beyond Album of the Year (meaning all music other than Jazz and Blues). In 1999 Tupac Shakur "co-wrote" a new song over "The Way It Is" music with Bruce, using new words, called "Changes." It was a major worldwide hit selling 14 million copies.
In August 2006, Columbia/Legacy released a box set, Bruce Hornsby Intersections 1985-2005, four CDs and a DVD commemorating his first twenty years as a major label recording artist. Hornsby personally selected and sequenced every track which covers the span of Hornsby's career with original album and single tracks, including 26 previously unreleased live performances. The DVD is a treasure trove of touchstone Hornsby performances and collaborations.
In 2007, Legacy released Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby which debuted as the No.1 Billboard Bluegrass record and received a nomination from the International Bluegrass Music Association awards for Recorded Event of the Year. The album is a mix of reworked hits, traditional arrangements and originals written in collaboration for the project.
Known around the music industry as a collaborator, Hornsby has been sought after by a veritable "who's who" in the music business. He has played on more than 100 records over the years; including albums by Bob Dylan, Don Henley, the Grateful Dead, Bob Seger, Crosby Stills and Nash, Stevie Nicks, Cowboy Junkies, Squeeze, Liquid Jesus, Bonnie Raitt (piano on the classic "I Can't Make You Love Me"), Shawn Colvin, Bela Fleck, Clint Black, Ricky Skaggs, Randy Scruggs, Willie Nelson, and end-title songs for two Spike Lee movies, Clockers (with Chaka Khan), and Bamboozled.
In addition, Hornsby was a part-time member of the Grateful Dead from September 1990 to March 1992, performing over 100 concerts in America and Europe. He appears on four Dead album releases.
"I've always liked the group of fans that we've drawn from the Grateful Dead time, because those fans are often adventurous music listeners," Hornsby admits. "To be creative, spontaneous in the moment and make music in the present tense, that's what we're all about live. I write the songs, we make the records and then the records become a departure point, the basic blueprint, the basic arrangement. I'm fairly restless creatively. I was never a very good Top 40 band guy because I never liked to play the same thing every time. I think of my songs as living beings that evolve and change and grow through the years."
Bruce Hornsby attended both Berklee College of Music in Boston and the University of Miami, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in music. Throughout his storied career, Hornsby demonstrated a penchant for extended jazz-like piano solos and has engaged in rich collaborations with such jazz stars as Pat Metheny, Branford Marsalis and Ornette Coleman. So it was only a matter of time before he would return to his roots and record a full jazz album.
Hornsby released his first jazz instrumental album, Camp Meeting in the summer of 2007, a collaboration with two of jazz's most esteemed musicians, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Jack DeJohnette. In addition to originals composed by Hornsby, the trio delivers new versions of compositions by John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Keith Jarrett, and Bud Powell.
Through the years Hornsby has participated in several memorable events: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opening concert in September 1995 (featured on the Sony 2 cd set), Farm Aid IV and VI, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Newport Jazz Festival, New Orleans Heritage and Jazz Festival, Woodstock II (1994), Woodstock III (1999) (featured on the Epic 2 cd set).
An avid sports fan, Hornsby, solo and with Branford Marsalis has performed the National Anthem for many major events including the NBA All-Star game, four NBA finals, the 1997 World Series Game 5, the night Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig's all-time consecutive game streak, and the Ken Burns Baseball soundtrack.
Bruce Hornsby albums - The Way It Is (1986), Scenes From The Southside (1988), A Night On The Town (1990), Harbor Lights (1993), Hot House (1995), the double Spirit Trail (1998), Here Come The Noisemakers (2000), Big Swing Face (2002), Greatest Radio Hits (2003), Halcyon Days (2004), a 2005 concert DVD, Three Nights on the Town, a 4CD/1DVD box set Bruce Hornsby Intersections 1985-2005 (2006), Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby (2007) and jazz trio project Camp Meeting (2007).

Quote Unquote: An Invented People
Newt Gingrich discusses the Israeli-Palestinian conflict…
"Remember there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire. And I think that we've had an invented Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs, and were historically part of the Arab community. And they had a chance to go many places."
An "invented Palestinian people." Well put. We, as an American people — with our long and storied two-hundred-(and-some-change)-year history — need a leader who's not afraid to take strong stands and point out historical truisms like that.
And besides, everybody knows that there's no more proof for the existence of Palestinians than there is for shoe elves, mermaids or people who are genuinely excited for a Gingrich presidency.

A record crowd turned out for the annual Maryville Alcoa Blount County Parks and Recreation Appreciation breakfast on Dec. 15 at Everett Senior Center.
Parks and Recreation executive director Joe Huff said the event went very well, and he thanked assistant director Cookie Crowson and the Parks and Rec staff for making the breakfast a success.
"We had somewhere between 150 to 160. It was one of the bigger crowds we've ever had. Everything went great, and, once again, it was because the staff does a great job," he said. "We had a good turnout, and the staff was well prepared and had the biscuits and ham ready to go."
Huff said the annual, informal get-together is important because it gives Parks and Rec an opportunity to thank supporters. "These guests are people who help sponsor events and commissioners and council people who help us through the budget process," he said. "These people do so much for us. We hope they understand what we're trying to do by having this breakfast. We do this to say thank you."

My family REALLY liked this recipe! We have made it several times but usually add a frosting. Our favorite frosting is to take another cup or so of the choclate chips, add about a tablespoon of crisco, heat to melting point in microwave, stir well .... then drizzle over the top and sides of the cake. PS: when adding the chips to the cake (not the frosting) you MAY want to add them AFTER you have poured the batter into the pan. Basically just sprinkle them on top and stir them only slightly into the batter. This way they may not settle as much toward the bottom. To me this cake tastes even better after it has been around for a day.
This recipe is one my family has used for over 30 years. My little sister won a blue ribbon at our county fair with it. I'll will note here that the nutmeg may be replaced with ground allspice for a nuance of flavor I prefer. As much as 1 cup of chopped nuts may be added if desired. A bundt pan may be used instead of the tube pan without making any change in time or temperature.
This is a great-tasting cake that my family loved. The recipe is very accommodating to variations, as I discovered. You can halve proportions and bake in an 8x8 inch square pan. If you want to speed up baking time, you can bake at 350 instead of 325 and start checking the center for done-ness at around 45 minutes. You can double the amount of cocoa and also increase the apples. I used all whole-wheat flour instead of white flour. I also substituted buttermilk for half the butter, and the finished product was still extremely moist and delicious. The acidity in the buttermilk reacts with the baking soda, so the flavor will not be sour and the reaction will also lighten the cake somewhat.

A solid second half wasn't enough to overcome a sloppy first half for the Washington Hatchets as Mt. Vernon remained unbeaten with a 53-48 win at the Hatchet House on Friday.
After ending the Lions' undefeated season a week ago, Washington (2-6, 0-1) found the going tougher against Class 3A No. 10 Mt. Vernon (8-0, 3-0). The game was even early on before the Wildcats pulled ahead at the end of one quarter 16-8, and Mt. Vernon would go on to forge a 29-19 lead at halftime.
Washington suffered from breakdowns on both ends of the floor. On offense, the Hatchets inability to take care of the basketball - 10 turnovers at the half and 18 for the game - prevented the Hatchets from keeping up with the hot shooting Wildcats. Mt. Vernon hit the basket at a 48 percent (10-21) clip in the first half.
But the Hatchets didn't quit, using a 9-4 run to outscore Mt. Vernon 15-9 and cut the Wildcat lead to 38-34 heading into the final eight minutes of play. Washington scored the first six points of the fourth quarter, including a 3-pointer from Jarrod Purdue, a free throw from Jake Brashear, and a bucket from Cullen Arnold, to claim the Hatchets' first lead of the game since early in the first quarter at 40-38 with 6:06 to play.
At that point, however, the turnover problem that hampered WHS in the first half returned. Washington committed turnovers on seven consecutive possessions in the final 6:00 of action as Mt. Vernon closed out the win, a game that the Hatchets had a chance to win according to coach Gene Miiller.
"We had a great opportunity (in the fourth quarter). We took the lead and had a chance to win the ballgame, and then we turned the ball over the next seven possessions," said Miiller. "It kind of reminded you of the end of the Forest Park game a few weeks ago.
"In the third quarter, we just had one turnover and came back, that's where we came back. We shoot the ball pretty well, but we just have to get shots," added Miiller. "We're just not doing a very good job of taking care of the basketball. That's got to be the emphasis for the rest of the season."
Cullen Arnold led WHS with 15 points and also added 16 rebounds. Jarrod Purdue hit a trio of 3-pointers on the way to 11 points, while Jake Brashear added seven points. Tyler Stoll added six points for the Hatchets and pulled down three rebounds. Andy Garland netted four points and four assists, while Colton Garland scored three points and Jake Bedwell two points to round out the Hatchet scoring.
Washington improved defensively in the second half, switching to a half court zone defense after halftime that Miiller praised.
"Defensively we didn't do a bad job. We switched to a zone in the second half, which is unusual for us, but the kids did a nice job with it," said Miiller. "Early, when we were in man, they were just hard for us to guard. We went to the zone, it got them standing around and slowed them down offensively."
Mt. Vernon placed three players in double figures, led by Brian Koch's 17 points. Bryce Newman added 11 points and Collin Varner 10 for the Wildcats.
"They're a good basketball team, they're undefeated for a reason. But we had our chance and we just didn't finish it off," said Miiller. "That's the thing right now. We've been in every game except the Bosse game, we just haven't been able to finish things off. Hopefully we'll learn that in the next two months, and if we do, we've got a chance to win at tournament time."
Mt. Vernon fought off the Hatchets for a 47-43 win in the reserve contest. Matthew Sparks led the Hatchets with 10 points, followed by Nicholas White with eight points.
The Hatchets remain home on Friday when they host Evansville Mater Dei.

What is the Third Goal?In 1961, President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps to promote world peace and friendship.
The Peace Corps' mission has three simple goals:
1. Helping the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women.
2. Helping promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.
3. Helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.
At ThirdGoal.org, we abbreviate the official Third Goal as simply "bringing your service home" and helping Americans to better understand the world around us. Sometimes Returned Peace Corps Volunteers will give presentations to schools, write op-eds in local newspapers, or simply share photos and stories about one's experience with family and friends. But for most of us, fulfilling our Third Goal responsibilities is a daily labour of love that looks something like this:

Express serial cards to replace existing products
Aaxeon's multi-port RS-232 and 2-port RS-232 + 1 port parallel Express Serial Cards will replace the MSC-204A1 and MSC-202ALP.
Aaxeon released its 4-port RS-232 and 2-port RS-232 + 1-port parallel Express Serial Cards to replace their already existing products the MSC-204A1 and MSC-202ALP respectively.
The MSC-204A2 provides 4 high performance 16C950-type UART compatible RS-232 serial ports. It features a 1-chip solution for PCI Express boards to increase throughput and reduce CPU loading. The MSC-202ALP1 PCI Express I/O adapter provides 2 high performance 16C950-type UART compatible serial ports and bi-directional parallel ports. Both are designed for a PC, thin client, or server to provide instant COM port expansion via the PCI Express Bus (PCIE).
The new multi-port serial cards still retain all the benefits of its predecessors, providing increased throughput, reduced CPU load, serial bus speeds of 250 Mbytes/sec to 4 GBytes/sec, full plug-and-play compatibility, serial power over Pin-9, and no IRQ or I/O address conflict problems.
These new revised multi-port serial card versions provide the scalability to quickly adapt to new PCI Express technologies allowing the user to still add serial and parallel connectivity when necessary.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

This product colors every bit as good as the commercial brands which I have used for years before I decided to use something more eco-friendly. Everyone told me it wouldn't hold the color as long, etc. etc. But it DOES. I could wish for a couple of other color choices, as I like a little more red in my hair...but not enough to order a colorant named red of some kind.

I have recently gone to all natural, organic haircare wherever I can. The one thing missing was a good hair color that did the job, but didn't have the harsh chemicals most others have. THis is it! There is no smell, the chemicals used are gentle, and it works! I got a nice warm light brown to my dark brown/black ethnic hair. I used to have to bleach the color out of my hair and then add permanent toners to get rid of my grays and lighten my hair. No more of that!
