It's where he grew up. After the deadly tornado that ripped through Moore on May 20, country superstar Toby Keith returns to the area for an exclusive one-on-one interview with Gary England.
Toby talks about what he was feeling on May 20 as the storm tore through his hometown while he was working in Nashville.
"As it crossed the interstate and 4th street, I said 'It's gonna get my sister.' And so we said we have to start making arrangements to get back," Keith said.
Keith tells Gary why he was compelled to assemble a star-studded show to help the community rebuild.
"People forget about it so we thought we'd capture it, do the concert on Owen Field."
Keith shares his own childhood memories living near the now tornado ravaged neighborhood and where he sought shelter from the storms as a child.

I have 11 years experience in photography and related areas. Photographing portraits, stills, commercial, weddings, and pets I have worked in nearly all fields of photography.

Kenneth Paul Lesko Gallery is celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary at 78th Street Studios with an exhibition of new work by Judith Brandon. Please join us for this special evening:
Judith Brandon
Turbulent Territory
November 15th, 2013 – January 11th, 2014
Wednesday-Saturday, 12:00pm-5:00pm or by appointment
Opening Reception
Friday, November 15th, 5:00pm-9:00pm
Judith Brandon's mastery of drawing is evident in every piece she creates, but it is the way in which she uses that mastery to forge a link between herself and the viewer that makes her work so exceptional. Her work has a sense of mystery and a powerful gravity, a subtle but irresistible pull that draws the viewer in and gives one a sense of being a privileged witness to epic moments in flux.
Ms. Brandon has tapped into something both primal and mystical, as though she has submerged herself in the collective subconscious of our dreams. Her compositions not only draw the viewer in, but also make the viewer feel transported to a higher plane of emotional and sensory experience, giving earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and tornados a feeling of transcendence.
What is most impressive about Ms. Brandon's work is not that she has created a single piece that evokes so much for the viewer, or even that she occasionally does so, it is that she consistently creates powerful works of art that engage the viewer and elevate that engagement to a sense of communion with the artist--and in that communion, she seems to show us forgotten scenes from our most powerful and secret dreams.

Drop A Size With These Style Tricks
Everyone wants to lose weight. Luckily, there are plenty of style tricks we've got up our sleeves that will help you look a few pounds lighter, while you're trying to lose the excess weight at the gym.
Nude pumpsCreamy shades are a huge trend this season and when it comes to shoes, it's one you should definitely embrace. Paired with a short dress or skirt, tall, nude pumps will actually elongate your legs. This optical illusion is a great way to make those gams look long and lean. And contrary to what you may think, they can be worn with a variety of colors like black, pink, white and even prints too.

What's the story behind your designs?
The cluster of current fascinations change every few weeks. We love so much obscure stuff that we actually keep a secret tumblr to pass references back and forth amongst the group. In the Shapeways community, Theo Jansen's Animaris Geneticus Parvus is our favorite: it's complex, impossible to understand, and totally awesome to watch crawl around. We also love the Bugaboo Locking Pin by the Bugaboo Repair Guy. Because it's a real solution to a real problem of modern products made with 3D printing. Simple, elegant, and the kind of thing we can get behind.

hardcore, i know exactly what you are talking about. right when i got the game my friend and i played (i was isu he was texas tech) and every play was a blown pass coverage on each side. think the final score was 92-70 with us combining for over 2000 total yards that was my biggest dissappointment in the ps2 version but ive started getting used to the pass defense but still a bit tricky
theres a button that you hit and it will select that play, and you can keep searching to fake the other player out. I dont use it but I think it should be x. If not just go the controls and look it up. I played the game for ps2 last night, and choose 360, its hard to turn back.
Ok, I'm glad you know what I'm talking about. What have you been doing to fix it, or get more used to it? It's just something that seems like it really shouldn't be doing that EVERY play. I can understand once and a while depending on your player's awareness, momentum, etc, but it was every single passing play that my guys were doing that, and they weren't even closing to guarding their guy man to man.

Philadelphia Phillies: Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Tug McGraw, Pete Rose
New York Yankees: The Babe, DiMaggio, Gehrig.... among many.
But in retrospect all of those things are hilarious stories that make me happy to have done them.... even if they weren't so great at the time.
It's part of the reason I'm back on Broadway. So the next album is a lot of labor, but it's incredibly full of energy and I can't wait to tour with it.
27 Aug 2013
Pop culture guilty pleasure:
Three favorite cities:
New York City, London, Philadelphia (means I'm home!!!)
Favorite sport/team/player:
I appreciate so many. I'm REALLY odd. I like SO many eras… for so many reasons:
First CD/Tape/LP you owned:
Probably The Doors' "Morrison Hotel." Could also be Chumbawumba- but I don't want to admit that.
Moment you knew you wanted to perform for a living:
The second I got my first guitar!!
Favorite liquid refreshment:
Coke and water
Pre-show rituals or warm-ups:
I have this idea that potato chips help my vocal cords... sometimes I do that. Mostly just water and warming up a little bit.
Five favorite rock bands of all time:
The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and The Band, Prince and The Revolution, The Cars, Aerosmith (there are lots more.... lots and lots and lots)
Have you had the opportunity to meet any of the Beatles?
Met Ringo!! Lovely guy!
What has been the biggest challenge about this project?
The biggest challenge by far for doing this type of show was relearning the bass guitar... left-handed for the role.
What has been the most fun or fulfilling aspect?
Entertaining audiences! That's what matters the most to me.
Worst flubbed line/missed cue/onstage mishap:
Lets see.... I've split my pants. That was pretty weird.
Worst job you ever had:
I worked sound at a dance studio for a while. I also have been in countless bands that played TOO many bad gigs.
If you could trade roles with anyone in the cast for a week, who would it be?
I wouldnt want to! To be honest- I'd rather be engineering at front of house.
Craziest audition story:
Auditioned for a film once- messed up the line... got flustered... got released within, easily, 20 seconds of walking in the room. Oh well!
Any upcoming or side projects you can talk about?
Right now I'm working a 2nd "Graham Alexander" album. The first one was really well received and we toured with it for about 2 years.
Something you are incredibly proud of:
I'm proud to have the desire to keep doing what I love- nothing more.
Something you're embarrassed to admit:
Ariana Grande once came to a show I was doing at the Neil Simon Theatre and I had no idea who she was. She is massive and I love her voice and music, but I had no idea upon meeting her! Oh well. Til we meet again, Ariana!
Career you would want if not a performer:
None! I'll live and die by it!
Three things you can't live without:
Songs, people, instruments
"I'll never understand why…"
... people allow the extreme use of corrective auto-tuning in music (particularly live!). If you are using it as a vocal effect (see Cher), that is completely acceptable. But to use it in a corrective... is it not... lying?
Words of advice for aspiring performers:
Prove them all wrong!

Dating A Divorcé: Is It Better To Couple Up With A Man Who's Already Been Married?
By Natasha Burton
According to the local station, men who've avoided settling down may be less desirable to women than those who have already taken the marital plunge -- then divorced.
I'm typically wary of sweeping generalizations, especially when it comes to telling women what kind of man they should be dating. Though, given how prevalent and accepted divorce is, it makes sense that women today may be less inclined to see a man's previous relationship as cause for concern -- or get turned off by the idea of him having too much "baggage."

Our Editor Has a Date With a Dating Coach
...when I got the opportunity to chat with renowned dating coach Lauren Frances (A-listers Kate Walsh and Mark Ruffalo are among her fans), I jumped at the chance for some one-on-one assistance (and perhaps a much-needed pep talk). I met Lauren at her Beverly Hills-adjacent bungalow, and she led me into her living room, which smelled faintly of Indian curry and incense. With her dark hair swept up halfway and black wrap dress showcasing her curves, she's both elegant and ageless. And wonderfully easy to talk to. After she swiftly brought me a glass of water and curled up in an oversize chair, I switched on my tape reorder, and we began an excited discussion of relationship philosophy.
Love Story
By Margot Dougherty
The Bird Watcher
by Christine Kruttschnitt, Los Angeles
Lauren Frances is a winning Californian who looks like a brunette version of Pamela Anderson and calls herself a Ph. Double D. But behind the title hides itself a counselor, and an authoress who shares the hidden secrets of "mantrapping." She explains why it's a mistake for females to compare their chap's mating behavior to pigs and dogs. Even if the masters of creation give themselves some leeway, birds and men have many more similarities—states the Liebesexpertin, who coaches many Hollywood stars (actress Kate Walsh, rocker Tommy Lee) in modern mating behavior. We love this book and you will too.

Learning to Love
By Constance Harris
Lauren Frances is a love coach. She teaches people how to flirt, how to find true love and how to recognise what they need, and want, in a relationship. And also how to achieve it, all without the assistance of self-help phraseology or fluffy spiritual talk. Originally from New Jersey, she now calls Los Angeles home. Gorgeous, compassionate, flirtatious, witty, and above all clear visioned and with clear opinions, she is revolutionising mating in America. Though she can conjure up smartass, jingoistic phrases as well as any of the self-help merchants out there, Frances is much more than that.
The Love Whisperer Tells
By Silvia Fiest
By LAUREN FRANCES (Harmony Books)
Frances, a columnist for Flaunt magazine, describes herself as a dating expert with a Ph.Double-D... Using a clever classification system that equates men with birds, she presents several dozen types, from the "Clay Pigeons" who "won't take the hint to buzz off" to the "Baldheaded Eagle" who is "bossy, controlling, and pervy"...This sets the tone for the rest of her first book...on how to get a boyfriend and more brazen guides to dating and sex.

She's a best friend like Carrie, possesses the street smarts of Samantha when exposing uncomfortable truths, is a total professional like Miranda, and is almost as romantic as Charlotte! She embodies the soul of all four characters and puts the Sex back in the City.
Flirt's Up
February 1st, 2007 by Ms. Lisa
You've had your share of Mr. Wrongs. There was Andy I-Can't-Commit. Then, Charlie the Cheater. And let's not forget Wandering-Eyes Wade.
Grab your girlfriends and put your fate in your own hands, because the Flirt Fairy herself is coming to town, just in time for the V-Day season. That's right: Celebrity love coach Lauren Frances–who has pepped up the love lives of Kate Walsh (Grey's Anatomy and Amy Brenneman (Judging Amy), among others–is hosting a "Flirting in the Field" seminar at Ghostbar on February 8, 2007.
With her poignant-yet-hilarious book Dating, Mating and Manhandling hot off the presses, Lauren'll teach you how to date like an international spy. That is, how to size up a man's partnership potential from the first date. (After all, "If he's not the one, he's just holding up traffic," says Lauren.) Also on her man-magnet lesson plan: subliminal seduction, body mirroring and high-octane verbal cues for sure-fire flirting success.

By Roy Berendsohn Email Comments 0 Share Back 1 of 5 Next notahandbag/Flickr Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Summer has its pleasures, but pulling weeds isn't one of them. And as anybody who has struggled to pull a weed will tell you, these plants are a formidable adversary. They grow almost anywhere, thrive under adverse conditions and can be incredibly prolific. Purdue University's cooperative extension office reports that a single dandelion can produce 15,000 seeds a year, each of which can survive in a dormant state in the ground for six years. Weeds respond to different stimuli and different control methods, so the first step in controlling weeds is to identify them and their control method. It sounds odd, but there are many weed photo galleries on the Web, and many universities and state cooperative extension offices have similar reference materials. Once you know your weed, you can research the variety of ways to kill it or slow it down. Here are the most common weapons against weeds.

Spray paint is toxic, and cheap masks don't offer much protection. The best way to avoid permanent brain damage is to use an activated carbon mask—more expensive, but worth the money.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine
Protect yourself from chemical vapors with a high-quality respirator. Pick one that fits well and feels good, and be sure it's easy to find replacement filters.
Check out this warning from a typical spray can label: "Repeated or prolonged exposure to these chemicals without the use of a proper respirator can cause permanent brain damage, as well as damage to your lungs." But solvent- based spray paints aren't the only products that present a health hazard. You'll find similar warnings even on water-based spray paints and many insecticides.
The less expensive, N95 particulate filtering respirators (disposable paper masks with two straps) do a great job of filtering out particulate matter. But they don't adsorb toxic chemical vapors. To do that, you need activated carbon. Most $30 and up respirators have a P100 (100 percent efficiency and oil compatible) prefilter and an activated carbon filter for the chemical vapors. However, the $30 carbon filter respirators sold at home centers won't protect you against every single toxic chemical listed on every manufacturer's warning label. The bottom line is, any carbon filter respirator rated for solvents and paint is better than a disposable particulate respirator.
To save money over the long run, buy a respirator that accepts replaceable filter cartridges. But before you shop online, check out the availability of replacement filters at your local hardware or home center. You don't want to be searching every store in town for the right filter in the middle of a project.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Yeah, specifically the "comet" cult near San Diego many years ago. The bizarre looks on the faces of the sheep in some of those Apple presentations reminded me of that bunch.
The way they idolized Jobs (God rest his soul) and seemed hypnotized by him and Apple products was almost on a religious level. CNN even put together a report on it. http://articles.cnn.com/2011-05-19/tech/apple.religion_1_apple-store-apple-employees-brains?_s=PM:TECH
droidsw wrote:Kaebfly, from my (an Android owner) perspective, I have struck up many a conversation about smartphones. It's always interesting, no matter what phone a person has.
It's not world hunger, or the economy, but it makes good conversation.
The adjectives I refer to come from how many iphone owners have ZERO clues about other phones,yet dismiss them all, including BB, Windows, etc.
I know a decent amount about all. Not saying they should, but don't claim your phone is the best based on what you are told.
Example: An iphone fan I work with was ecstatic over the "new" Notification Bar coming to iOS. When I explained my Android has had this for over a year, he said, "I don't care".
Example 2: When I brought up widgets to an iphone person, he replied, "I don't know what they are and don't want to know".
In other words, the attitude of a lot of ifans is "when our leaders give it to us on our phones, THEN it becomes relevant".
Otherwise, yes it could be a coincidence that the people I've known, met, dealt with in business, etc, that have iphones are the way they are personality wise.
And another comment on the "cult" thing, which of course, is tongue-in-cheek. Google any of the new product "get togethers" at Apple, especially when the iphone was first released. Look at the facial expressions, excitement, almost to the point where "passing around the Kool-aid" seems likely.
Honestly, I don't think the iPhone "cult" memebers are any different than any other "cult" memebers (for devices)....everybody wants to feel like they have the greatest...especially those that have the need to get the latest device no matter the cost. And...if whatever device they choose does what they need it to do and makes them happy then yes, they do have the best device....for them. Nothing wrong with that. It becomes extremely childish when it turns into some twisted "my device is better than yours and if you don't believe it then it's because you're brainwashed". If someone asked me about widgets...my answer would likely be "I don't really have a need or desire for widgets right now." I don't feel that way because Apple doesn't use them....I just genuinely don't have much interest in them. I don't even use the widgets on my PC and never have. Not saying they are bad or anything...they just don't sit high on my list....and if Apple suddenly started using them I would still be the same. And the Example you gave about the notification system....why would you want to deflate that persons joy? Your examples didn't imply that what you have is irrelevant because their "leaders" haven't given it to them yet but when they do then it will be. Unless you left out the part where the people in example 1 & 2 kept saying the Android was a less superior phone and spent endless time explaining why. It just sounds like person #1 was excitied about a new feature their device was getting...and you kind of (perhaps) rubbing it in that your device had the same thing for over a year made them respond with "I don't care". Person #2...they just told their truth...they didn't know what widgets were and didn't care. Unless they said when Apple puts it on the iPhone then I will care all I got from it is they just didn't care about widgets...
Point is...yes there are loyal Apple fans. Yes..there are loyal Android fans. But what everyone needs to accept is this...THERE IS NO "BEST" DEVICE. If there were then we wouldn't have so many new devices coming out on a regular bases. There is always something else that alleges to be better just around the corner. That's the joy of technology.

Kaebfly, did I really have to say that the persons in my two examples constantly belittled every other device but their own?
I wasn't trying to urinate on their parade, but merely trying to educate them to the facts that other platforms are out there and give some examples of things Android has. These were conversations, not arguments.
It's difficult to recreate a person's attitude in writing, but take my word for it, in both examples arrogant and obnoxious were adequate descriptions.
No surprise you defend them. And no, Android owners don't come anywhere near the level of obnoxiousness (if that's a word).
But that's my opinion and these are my personal observations.
And no, NO device is perfect. Even more reason that cultish behavior (on either side) is ridiculous. On that, we agree.
Actually...it would have helped a great deal if you had said the people in your examples belittled every other device but their own. Otherwise, your words have to be taken at face value OR the reader has to be someone that assumes that just because the people in your example are iPhone users they are automatically arrogant and obnoxious. Because I (and I truly hope I'm not the only person) don't assume anything about anyone just because they use any device there was no way for me to automatically know that those people were anything but what your typed words said (excited about an update to their device and not very interested in a feature you mentioned to them).
And just so that we are clear...I did NOT defend anyone...it's difficult to defend people that I have never laid eyes on. All I stated was that barring you leaving out some information that would create a different scenario than you described (which is what you did by not making it clear that your examples were "arrogant and obnoxious") that there didn't seem to be anything that warranted cult-like behavior. I'll assume you are making the same blanket opionion of myself based on your "No surprise you defend them" comment solely because I own an iPhone. You're entitled to your opinion...when it's based on something real. But for you to imply an opinion about me based on nothing else than the fact that I own an iPhone is ignorant and makes you no better than the people you seem to encounter and their attitudes just because they own the iPhone. I'm a lot of things...that I will own and admit without an ounce of hesitation. But I guarantee you that you will not find a single person that has actually laid eyes on me in the real world (I won't even give the distinction of actually KNOWING me because it doesn't take truy knowing a person for anyone to garner any opinion about them....but it's impossible to have an opinion about someone based solely on what phone they use because you read about it on an internet forum) that will say their opinion about me is based on me using an iPhone. Why? Because I don't care what phone I have unless I had to accept or make a phone call or the person met me while I was playing a video game or something in a waiting room they wouldn't know what phone I have without asking me in some random conversation. I have never been a part of the "look at what I have" crowd...most people don't know I have an iPhone even when they see me using it because none of it's tell-tell signs are visable (no one sees the apple logo, no one sees the metal siding...other than the fact that it's a touch screen that's all you can easily identify on my phone unless you really look at it and pay attention to the shape of the case (excluding if for some reason the main scream is illuminated...then that's obvious)...and I'm still often asked "Is that an iPhone?"...more people seem surprised I covered it up instead of making sure everyone saw it's "sexiness" (yes, someone actually said that to me...which made me look at them like THEY were insane).
Now, in my experience...the only cult-ish people I have come across were not in the "real" world...it's been on forums like this...the only obnoxious because they think their phone is better than anyone else's...again, on forums like this. The only place I have ever seen Android vs iPhone e-fights....on the internet! And...trust me...the cult like behavior is not in the least bit lopsided. Go to any iPhone forum or an article that discusses anything about the iPhone and the "I hate iPhones and all things Apple" rhetoric is astronomical...the sentiment is fine if that's the way you feel. The obsurdity is the fact that if you feel that way why in the world do you bother going to forums and articles that are clearly about the device and company you don't care for? (and "you" is general...sometimes that needs to be pointed out or people take offense and think something is being directed at them). Same thing to any die-hard Apple fan....if you refuse to even acknowledge the exisitence of anything not made by Apple...why are you lurking around on Android sites trying to stir the pot? People seem to be far more willing to do these childish and petty things at the comfort of their well hidden internet safety net (via a computer or their "better than anyone else's" device). It's all a bit pathetic. It will never end of course...and sometimes it's pretty amusing to see just how (for lack of better words) nerdy some people can be when it comes to fighting for their tech device loves...but when you let the entertainment of it all spill into your ability to seperate a person from what device they use...it's sad.

This is false. I have seen it go both ways. I can honestly say i have been on both sides of the fence.

Lark Rise to Candleford
(Rochester, New York) – Julia Sawalha, Olivia Hallinan, Dawn French, Brendan Coyle, Olivia Grant, Mark Heap, Ben Miles, and Liz Smith star in this winning adaptation of Flora Thompson's magical memoir of her Oxfordshire childhood, a love letter to a vanished corner of rural England and a heart-warming drama series teeming with wit, wisdom and romance. Lark Rise to Candleford premieres on WXXI-TV/HD (DT21.1/cable 1011 and 11) Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 8 p.m. The series repeats Sundays at 7 p.m.
Set in the small hamlet of Lark Rise and the wealthier neighboring market town, Candleford, at the end of the 19th Century, the series chronicles the daily lives of farm workers, craftsmen, and gentry, observing characters in loving, boisterous and competing communities of families, rivals, friends, and neighbours.
This world is seen through the eyes of a teenage girl, Laura Timmins (Olivia Hallinan – Sugar Rush, Torchwood), as she leaves Lark Rise to start a new life under the wing of her cousin, the independent and effervescent Dorcas Lane (Julia Sawalha – Absolutely Fabulous, Pride And Prejudice), who is Post Mistress at the local Post Office in Candleford.
Through them, viewers experience the force of friendship as they see each other through the best and worst of times. Lark Rise To Candleford is warm, funny, poignant, occasionally tragic but overall a celebration of the spirit of community.

Ski helmets: optional, mandatory, cool or uncool?
Jan 26, 2010 — The skis and snowboards are back on the rack for a few days, while we suffer through a January thaw. But it's been a pretty great season in the North Country so far, with good snow conditions on the slopes. While there's no shortage of eager skiers and snow-boarders this winter, a debate continues about the safety gear they wear. Helmets used to be rare, used mostly by downhill racers. But head protection is growing more popular. And some advocates say helmets should be mandatory at least for children. Brian Mann has our story. Go to full article
DEC pushes floatplane use on Lowes Lake
Jan 22, 2009 — State officials have reopened the debate over the future of Lowes Lake in the central Adirondacks. The Department of Environmental Conservation says float planes should be allowed to use the lake for another four years. Some green groups say that would violate state law, which calls for Lowes Lake to be managed as a wilderness area. Brian Mann has this update. Go to full article
Keene's Mountainfest revels in cold and ice
Jan 19, 2009 — The cold snap that swept the North Country the last couple of weeks has caused a lot of grumbling. But for organizers of "Mountainfest" in Keene, the frosty temperatures and deep snow made for perfect conditions. Now in its thirteenth year, the gathering offered workshops and introductory classes over the weekend in mountaineering and backcountry skiing. Brian Mann sent this audio postcard. Go to full article
"White-nose" syndrome kills Northeastern bats
Feb 18, 2008 — Wildlife researchers across the Northeast are scrambling to understand a mysterious ailment that is killing thousands of bats, including rare Indiana bats, which are on the endangered species list. "White-nose" syndrome has been found at sites in New York and Vermont. And on Friday, scientists identified a new, infected cave in Massachusetts. The US Fish and Wildlife Service is now urging people to stay out of caves across the region. Brian Mann has our story. Go to full article
Winter dash to Avalanche Pass
Jan 23, 2007 — Last weekend, winter finally arrived in the Adirondack Mountains. In the High Peaks, snow covered the trails and temperatures plunged to double-digits below zero. Brian Mann snuck away for a day with his friend Bob Martin, from Saranac Lake, to ski the trail to Avalanche Pass. They sent this audio postcard. Go to full article
Paddling the West Branch of the Ausable
Apr 28, 2003 — Other parts of the U.S. have bigger rivers and higher mountains, but the Adirondacks offer some amazing country that you can reach on your lunch hour. Last week, Brian Mann snuck away from the office for a paddle on the West Branch of the Ausable River. He found some real, in-your-face wilderness just on the outskirts of town, and sends back this audio postcard. Go to full article

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 12:40 p.m. Monday, June 30, 2008
By Jamie Dupree
If there were about a thousand people in special colored coats who could be rounded up from trading floors around the world and run out of town on a rail, it would be oil futures market "speculators" who are being blamed for running up the price of oil.
"Causing this rise in the cost (of oil) has been unbridled speculation," said Rep. John Larsen (D-CT.)
"It has taken on an almost casino atmosphere," he added.
Members of both parties have joined in denouncing these traders and demanding tighter regulations by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, which has been attacked for not doing enough to keep prices in check.
But as Democrats found out in late June, it's not easy to match the anti-speculator rhetoric and quickly turn that into a bill that can be approved and signed into law.
We have had oil experts who say a few new regulations on such trades could drop oil prices maybe by fifty percent in a short period of time.
That was floated by Michael Masters of Masters Capital Management, who told a number of Congressional committees that regulations were the answer for a quick price fix.
But after initially embracing that idea, Democrats quickly found out that any regulatory efforts could have a downside too, so they will try again to forge a bill after July 4th.
Let me say that anything which even looks halfway like it might work will probably get huge bi partisan majorities in the Congress, as lawmakers in both parties race to identify solutions on high oil and gas prices.
And who are these speculators? You don't really see anyone, or any companies or any traders named when people talk about it.
That always make me wonder.
But you were advising political candidates right now on the oil and gas price issue, you would tell them to grab this issue by the scruff of the neck and don't let go. Point the finger of blame at the speculator!
It will be interesting to see where this issue goes. I can see the House passing a bill on speculation, but maybe watching it run off the rails in the US Senate.
It all depends on how much pressure lamwakers are getting this week back at home.

Apple Festival at Way Fruit Farm
Posted by Brittany Smith on 10/31, 2012 at 12:59 PM
The Saturday before last, Way Fruit Farm officially said "goodbye" to summer by launching into the fall season with the conclusion of the annual Apple Festival.
Upon entering the farm's kindly paint-chipped doors, guests were greeted with freshly made Apple Cider and Apple Cider Butter samples.
Having had the pleasure of tasting these treats, I certainly recommend you to stock up on either, or both, as staple items in your fall pantry.
The farm store was filled with many more of this season's favorites, ranging from turnips and cabbage, to sauces, mustards, grains and coffee that guests could hand-pick. McCutcheon's and Mama Rosa were just two of many popular brands showcased at the festival.
Despite this season's early frost, the barren orchards were still no match for many eager hands. Guests enjoyed a bountiful apple selection harvested from the farm's various other orchards, which were piled high in five separate bins.
Alongside each bin stood couples, parents and children quarrelling over which of the apples would make the best sauces, pies and afternoon snacks. My personal favorites were the Red and Golden Delicious.
The festivities continued outside with dozens of crafter tents, an apple slingshot, free tractor ride, and pumpkin picking of massive proportions. Crafter tents provided everything from precious trinkets and specially designed purses, to house and health essentials like vitamins and pots.
At $1 per three apples, 10% of proceeds for the apple slingshot were donated to The Rose of Sharon Orphanage in the Dominican Republic. The slingshot operator, who requested to remain anonymous, commented that "most of the kids don't know the value [of donating], but we still like seeing them participate."
Guests moved straight from apple slinging to standing in the long, yet quick-moving, tractor ride line where many chose pumpkins weighing from 30 to 90 pounds.
Even with a little wind and rain, it shaped up to be a beautiful day full of warmth and laughter.
The Way Fruit Farm is open every Monday through Friday from 8am until 7pm and Saturdays from 8am until 5pm. Check out their website for other festival and store details.
