LA CRESCENT, Minnesota (WXOW) - Excessive heat and drought took a toll on Christmas trees this summer. But if you're looking to buy a fresh tree this holiday season you are in luck. Farmers say mature trees are looking good and there will be plenty available this season.
This is because most mature, living room-sized trees have well established root systems. But not all trees escaped the summer unscathed. Bruce Bauer, owner of Bauer's Market and Nursery in La Crescent, MN, said newly planted and very young trees suffered.
"Where a lot of Christmas tree growers in the Upper Midwest, here, that went through that, many of the little saplings that got planted this early spring really got droughted out and therefore met their demise."
This will no doubt be a financial burden for Christmas tree farmers. But since trees take several years to reach maturity, farmers will have a chance to make up for some of this years losses.
"What we're going to find is many of those growers will actually overplant," said Bauer. "By probably twice the amount next spring in 2013 to help make up for that loss."
And this is good news for consumers as well.
"I really don't think we're going to see an ill effect on pricing," said Bauer. "We certainly aren't seeing it this year. Will it affect [us] in the future? I very much doubt. Again, because the growers are going to overplant the next couple of years to make up for those losses of little saplings this year."

The trusty old laptop is being kicked to the curb, with PC makers trying to spice up their offerings by pushing a variety of hybrids, tablets, and smaller-screen devices at the Computex trade show in Taipei this week.
Asustek Computer, Acer, and Dell have all introduced tablets and markedly different laptop designs in an effort to revive their flagging fortunes. Many of the products use Intel's Atom chip or next-generation Core processor, called Haswell, which was also launched here.
[ Windows 8 is here, and InfoWorld covers Microsoft's new direction, the touch interface for tablet and desktop apps, the transition from Windows 7, and more in the Windows 8 Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay abreast of key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
Some of the thin-and-light laptops have detachable screens, or displays that can slide or rotate. There's also an uptick in the number of products being offered with Google's Android OS, as Windows 8 struggles to find its feet on touch-screen devices.
PC shipments have been in a terrible slump, thanks partly to the surging popularity of tablets, and PC makers are trying to adapt to the new reality. Many are replacing old-school laptops -- which Intel executives refer to as "fatbooks" -- with new styles that can be adapted for different uses.
Some are inspired by tablets and emphasize touch and long battery life, though vendors insist they also come with PC-like performance. And while Taiwan's manufacturers are all taking about reinventing the PC, many of them can't resist the urge to throw in a keyboard.
As every year, Asus has introduced some of the most attention-grabbing designs. Perhaps most intriguing was its Transformer Book Trio, a dual-OS device that Chairman Jonney Shih described as a laptop, tablet and desktop all rolled into one.
The Trio can start life as an 11.6-inch Android tablet running on an Intel Atom chip. It can be turned into a Windows 8 laptop by attaching a keyboard accessory. But the keyboard, which has its own Core i7 processor, can function independently as a Windows 8 desktop when connected to a wireless display. The Trio has a 1920 x 1080 pixel screen, and up to 64GB of storage. Pricing and a launch date weren't provided.
Also on display here was Acer's 8-inch Iconia W3, the first small-screen Windows 8 tablet. Until now, Windows tablets have come with 10-inch or larger screens, and Acer is reacting to a trend towards smaller devices driven by Amazon's Kindle Fire and Google's Nexus 7. The Iconia W3 weighs 540 grams -- heavier than Apple's iPad mini and the Nexus 7 -- and is expected to be priced between $400 and $500. It has a 1200 x 800 pixel screen and comes with up to 64GB of storage.
Dell showed off the XPS 11, a hybrid device much like Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga. The 11.6-inch Gorilla Glass screen can be folded back through 360 degrees so that the XPS 11 turns into a tablet. The keyboard fits snugly into the chassis, so that unlike the Yoga it's less apparent when the device is used in tablet mode. The screen can display images at a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. Pricing wasn't provided, but the product is due to ship worldwide by December.
Design and screen size matter, but functionality, portability and long battery life are more important, according to Kirk Schell, vice president of computing products at Dell.
It may take some time to find out what designs consumers really go for, Schell said. The market is changing fast and there are probably unexplored opportunities to tap into.

Poured into a Duvel tulip oil black with a one finger tan head. The head disappears rather quickly for the style and there is minimal lacing. The scent is strong of chocolate and coffee. The taste has the chocolate malts playing with some smoked flavors, but for a "BIG SHOT" Espresso stout, I can't find the espresso. I think they forgot the shot. There are some coffee notes in the flavor but not nearly what I'd expect from a name like Big Shot. The mouthfeel is a little light for the style but it's not a bad drinking beer.

Pours a deep cola color with some nut brown color within,a half finger tannish colored sticky head atop.Cocoa and nutty aromas with some malted milk thrown in.A little light in the feel that takes away from the flavors a little.The espresso plays a major role on the palate with it's chocolate roast flavors that linger.Not a bad beer of the style,basicly par for the course.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #46 (Nov 2010):
Sizable head drops to a wisp of brown lace, with the brew being as black as black can be. Big roasty nose with hits of freshly used coffee grounds, burnt currants, molasses and dark chocolate. Full bodied, slick and creamy with a mild crispness. Roasty from start to the long finish. Obvious espresso blankets the palate. Hints of neutral charcoal, sweet-burning cigar and molasses push back on the bitterness of the espresso. A fine berry and malt sweetness within, and a dash of alcohol follows. A well-rounded coffee beer.

22 oz bottle dated 2/06. Pours an opaque brown/black with a creamy dark brown head that quickly diminishes.
The aroma is big on the bitter coffee with some graininess and sweet chocolate.
The flavor is sweet and creamy coffee and some chocolate, but kind of watered down. There is a little bitter acidity at the finish. The mouthfeel is kind of thin and very watery.
Overall, this would be excellent if not for such a watery mouthfeel that bleeds into the flavors. On the plus side, the more I drank of it, the more I dug it. I'd like to see a little more bitterness to balance the sweetness. Coffee stouts are fun though, and this is a very affordable example.

Thanks to mikeys01 for this one...
Pours a pitch black...quite thick with no light passing thru and a full two fingers of brown head with an agressive pour...limited lacing.
Huge espresso aroma with a hint of sweet toffee tagging along.
The taste is really good...again, huge coffee profile with some bittering hops thrown in to dry it up. Not overly bitter, but barely a hint of sweetness...goes over quite well for this offering. There is no detection of alcohol at any point of consuming this bomber.
Mouthfeel is full-bodied and the carbonation is just where I like to see it...again, the lack of sweetness makes this coffee stout very drinkable. Would love to have the chance to try this one on tap...may need to hunt down a couple more of these. I am quite impressed with my first brew from Twisted Pine.

The beer pours dark brown to black with a tan head. The aroma is that of freshly brewed coffee with some roasted malt mixed in. The flavor is coffee, chocolate and roasted malt with some light bitterness. The mouthfeel is slightly thinner than expected and the carbonation is low.

3.24/5 rDev -11.7%
Poured out more of a brown color than black. Lots of carbonation, big head that disappears into the outer realms mad quick. Aroma was barely coffee, more of the espresso that I can't pick up as much olefactory wise and some mustiness to it, from where, I couldn't imagine.
Average amount of roastiness, but the malt bill feels like I could have handled a little more. Burnt acidic and ashy qualities to it that makes you wish there was a little more barley to it to absorb some of this. It really came across like a lot more burnt malt than it did coffee or espresso. Once you get a little desensitized to the acrid aspect of the beer, the mouthfeel does mellow out a little and you can enjoy the beer even more. But still lacking enough coffee and chocolate to fit my palate's desires. Had a little bit of expectations with this one, after digging Hoppy Boy in previous years. The bitterness is just a tad too high for what other flavors are there (or aren't there as much as I would have liked is a better way to put it). Needs more chocolate and coffee.

Bottle purchased from the Wine and Cheese Place via mail order.
The bottle gushed upon opening and pours one shade from black with a tan head that leaves light lacing.
Smells of large amounts of plastic and vegetal aromas with hints of roasted malts lurking in the background. Someone was sure that the aromas I was getting were from over-roasted coffee; whatever it was, it wasn't pleasant.
Tastes better than it smells, but not by much. Heavy roasted malts up front are joined quickly by slightly tart dark fruits and the same plastic that was present in the aroma. Hints of heavily roasted coffee come into play midway through, fading out into a moderately bitter ending. Mouthfeel is OK, with a slightly thin thickness and heavy carbonation.
Overall this was not a good beer. Hopefully there is bottle variation and if you have one you'll have a better experience than me.

Super big and rich light brown head settles itself into a nice lacing above a clear really dark brown to black colored beer.
Big roasted malts taste with a light coffee/coffee bean mixing quite well with a bakers style chocolate.
More coffee comes through in the dark roasted malt taste than chocolate but it seems the chocolate in the taste stays around longer without being to sweet.
With a lasting chocolate dry aftertaste on a rich full bodied beer, this Big Shot Espresso Stout is well worth trying.
A pretty darn tasty espresso stout without overkill on the coffee taste.

22oz bomber poured into a duvel glass. Sedment at the bottom of the bottle. Yeast or coffee??? I'm assuming yeast since the cap makes a light hissss when opened. Wish it was in there though...
A: Nice dark brown but not quit black. Mahogany hues when help up to the light. No head when poured and no head now. Slight off white ring around the rim. I would expect this to be darker and fulled head.

Public Abstract:
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have important potential in the treatment of human disease. Because they can change into a large number of different cell types, they may be useful in restoring a variety of damaged tissues. One potentially harmful side effect of hESC therapy is cancer due to unregulationed growth of the hESCs introduced in the body. hESCs have the potential to grow almost indefinitely. Therefore if they should become "transformed" into cancer cells while being cultured in the laboratory, they may cause cancer in the individuals into which they are injected. Transformation of normal cells into cancer cells can occur through changes in their DNA, which contains the information telling cells to grow or not to grow. Because multiple changes must occur for cells to begin the unchecked growth of cancer cells, the likelihood of cancer is low. However, some cellular changes can increase the rate at which subsequent changes occur, which greatly increases the probability that a cell will acquire all of the changes necessary to become a cancer cell. This increased rate of changes in DNA is called genomic instability, which is proposed to be an early step in many cancers. One mechanism by which genomic instabiiity can occur is through the loss of the caps that protect the ends of chromosomes that contain the DNA. Loss of these caps, called telomeres, can make the DNA highly unstable. This proposal will study whether the loss of telomeres is a cause of instability in hESCs during their growth in the laboratory. Information on this process will allow steps to be taken to avoid this potential harmful effect during hESC therapy.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have important potential in the treatment of human disease. Because they can change into a large number of different cell types, they may be useful in restoring a variety of damaged tissues. This study will investigate a potentially harmful side-effect involving genetic changes that may occur during growth of hESCs in the laboratory that could lead to cancer when they are injected into people. Understanding the process involved in generating these genetic changes will allow scientists to avoid them and limit the likelihood of these complications in the clinic.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: The general goal of this proposal is to understand various factors that contribute to genomic instability of hESCs growing in vitro. The experiments focus primarily on the effect of spontaneous and double-strand DNA break (DSB)-induced telomere loss. In Aim 1 the applicant proposes to study telomerase and telomere maintenance, the status of cell cycle checkpoints, and chromosome stability under different culture conditions in hESCs. In Aim 2 the applicant will create hESC lines containing a telomeric selectable marker or a sub-telomeric recognition site for the I-SceI endonuclease. In Aim 3 these lines will be used to determine the spontaneous rate of telomere loss in cultured hESCs, the frequency of telomere restoration after telomere loss, and the frequency of chromosome abnormalities (especially those induced by breakage/fusion/bridge cycles) following telomere loss. SIGNIFICANCE AND INNOVATION: The genetic stability of hESC lines is unclear. Some reports have documented chromosome abnormalities or even highly unstable karyotypes, whereas others found no evidence for this. The difference may lie in culture conditions, but this too is unclear. Mouse ESCs lack the p53 DNA damage checkpoint, but under normal conditions this does not appear to result in a high degree of genetic instability. However extrapolating those observations to humans is difficult. Human telomeres are shorter than those in murine ESCs, and it is not know whether the p53 checkpoint is operative in hESCs. Thus, the extent of chromosome instability in hESCs, and the conditions that affect it remain uncertain. Chromosome instability in hESCs during propagation in vitro would potentially limit their usefulness for cell transplantation and tissue repair because the chromosome changes could be initiating events in tumorigenesis. Previous work from the applicant's laboratory has demonstrated DNA breaks near telomeres of murine ES cells lead to chromosome instability, characterized by B/F/B cycles, and ultimately chromosome healing by the acquisition of new telomeric DNA. The frequency of telomere loss in hESCs is not known, nor is it known how hESCs respond to telomere damage. Prior to the use of hESCs in therapies it will be important to determine the extent to which they undergo chromosome instability and to identify specific methods for propagating hESCs that either enhance or diminish these chromosome changes. The significance of this work is based upon the presumption that chromosomal instability and telomere loss is an important issue for hESCs. The arguments are not strong. ESCs have a robust mechanism for maintaining telomeres and thus chromosome stability. While DSB imparted by ionizing radiation or long term culturing could impair telomere maintenance, there is no strong evidence that this is a practical issue in hESC research or has potential use in hESC for therapeutic purposes. STRENGTHS: The applicant has a long and productive history studying chromosome instability, in particular instability caused by DNA breaks near chromosome ends. He is also the discoverer of the ALT pathway of telomere maintenance. The technology and concepts that form the basis for this application have previously been developed and tested in murine stem cells. For example, the applicant has previously shown that murine ESCs, which lack a p53-dependent G1 checkpoint, continue to proliferate and show chromosome abnormalities in response to telomere erosion. He has also developed in murine ES cells the technology necessary for simultaneously monitoring the rate of telomere loss, the chromosome instability that results from telomere loss, and the mechanism of acquisition of new telomeres. It would not be surprising if there are significant differences between human and mouse ESCs with respect to telomere maintenance and responses to telomere damage. Therefore extending these studies to human cells is important. The strength of this proposal is the investigator's experience in telomere biology. Certainly the issues the PI raises are important biological problems that are worthy of study. However, it is not established that this type of research on hESC will make important contributions to our understanding of hESC biology. WEAKNESSES: The applicant correctly emphasizes that culture conditions may affect the baseline genetic instability in hESCs, and proposes to determine whether specific conditions increase or decrease chromosome aberrations. However, only two culture conditions will be tested, either bulk or mechanical processing by standard methods. The strength of the application would be increased if the applicant were able to suggest specific culture conditions that could be tested which might mitigate the extent of background of spontaneous instability. Otherwise, the immediate practical benefit of these data may be less obvious. The major weakness is the practical relevance to hESC research. The authors make the best case they can for relevance, but is not very convincing. In addition, many experiments are incremental in significance. For example, it is well known that ESCs contain telomerase. Yet the PI proposes to assay for telomerase in hESCs. While this is good and prudent action in the normal course of achieving a larger aim, it should not be the major goal of the aim. Thus, aim 1 is not substantial. Aim 2 proposes to place a reporter gene near telomeres in hESCs, as has been done in other cell lines. Again this strikes me as more of a technical step rather than a substantial aim. DISCUSSION: In general there was not much enthusiasm for this proposal because the importance of the work in uncertain. Why should one study telomere instability in hESCs? How important is an understanding of cell cycle checkpoints in hESCs? In addition, the Aims were not very substantial. Aim 1 presents descriptive experiments that yield data worth knowing, but only two culture conditions are being examined. Aim 2 is potentially problematic since it requires homologous recombination, and Aim 3 depends on the success of Aim 2 in order to create telomere loss. The applicant is a great investigator with a good track record and has a long and productive history studying chromosomal instability including in mouse ESCs. One of the reviewers questioned the emphasis of the proposal given the reviewer's uncertainty about the importance of chromosomal instability in hESCs. Another reviewer noted that the applicant proposes prolonged growth of hESCs over 30-60 generations. This reviewer considers understanding stabilty as important and believes the proposed study will provide really practical knowledge.

A great, quiet humidifier. The double tanks are really handy and it will run a long time without refilling. I am very pleased. The only (minor) drawback is the brightness of the light for the on/off switch. Easily covered with tape and is really a great night light if not in the bedroom.

great product

In the first bout announced for UFC 133, rumored to take place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on August 6th, middleweights Alessio Sakara and Jorge Rivera will finally collide after two...
Alessio Sakara wipes his blood on the ref's shirt
Injuries continue to plague the UFC on Versus 3 card, scheduled for March 3rd in Louisville, Kentucky. Rafael Natal and Franscisco Rivera have both pulled out of their respective bouts with Alessio Sakara and Takeya Mizugaki, according to recent reports from MMA Junkie and Versus.com. There have not yet been any updates concerning replacement opponents for Sakara and Mizugaki. The event has already seen Mark Scanlon, Maiquel Falcao, Matt Riddle, Alexandre Ferreira, and Paulo Thiago all bow out of scheduled bouts. UFC on Versus 3 coverage
A few days ago, UFC middleweight Jorge Rivera announced that he would be forced to withdraw from his UFC 118 bout with Alessio Sakara due to an injury sustained in training. Today, "El Conquistador" shares some more bad news with the Boston Herald's Dan Duggan: Jorge Rivera immediately knew he had seriously injured his left arm. During a recent training session at Tim Burrill Jiu Jitsu, Rivera attempted a takedown and his grappling partner, Radhames Familia, sprawled on his arm. Rivera heard a snap and knew he was in trouble. The result was a broken ulna, one of the two bones in the forearm... Rivera initially hoped that he'd be ready to return to action in late September or October, but he'll get a better idea of the timetable after a doctor's appointment on Wednesday. "I was hoping that I would be able to let it heal," the Milford native said. "I had no idea how much went into recovery. It's nowhere near what I thought it was like. So it's just going to take me a lot longer than I would have hoped... It sucks... It's very disappointing to walk away from fighting in Boston."

By DON DARE 6 On Your Side Consumer Investigator
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Depression is an illness that affects more people than you think. Mental illness is not a sign of weakness, and more importantly, it's treatable. When someone has depression, it's more than feeling sad. It's an intense feeling of sadness and other symptoms. Depression can make you feel utterly alone, but it doesn't have to be that way. Rita McNabb lives with the illness, which few people talked about a generation ago.No longer does she allow the stresses in her life to interfere with her job as director of coordinated health with the Cocke County school system. McNabb said the illness snuck up on her 14 years ago, while she was the primary care giver for her grandmother. "When I have bouts with depression, I kind of hide. I become a recluse. I crawl in my hole and pull the top end over me," she said.Common symptoms of depression are fatigue and exhaustion; you don't have energy for everyday tasks. Patients also have problems with sleep - they have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. There are also headaches and digestive problems. Our brains and digestive system are closely related.
"Symptoms of mental illness start early, typically 50% by age 14, 75% by age 24," said Ben Harrington with the East Tennessee Mental Health Association.Harrington, the executive director of East Tennessee Mental Health Association, said there is a gap between symptoms and diagnosis. "The thing we have to understand is the average age of diagnosis of depression is 32 years of age," he said."In most cases, there is a chemical imbalance. It's not any difference than people with heart disease or high blood pressure. Medication is a needed thing," McNabb said. Medicines are a key treatment for depression. A health care provider can choose from dozens of effective anti-depressants McNabb found that her faith and talking with a trained counseling were also effective treatments. In her position with Cocke County Schools, McNabb encourages teachers to be on the lookout for signs of depression in their kids. "Any changes in behavior. If a child is normally quiet, then starts acting out or vice versa. If a child who acts out becomes very quiet, if their grades start to change," she said.Clinical depression goes well beyond temporarily feeling sad or blue. It affects ones thoughts, feelings and behavior.
Seeking help and getting an accurate diagnosis is important. "You can live a normal functioning life. Yes, some days are better than others, that's just life. But there is life after depression," McNabb said.With depression becoming one of the nation's most costly illnesses, many companies offer workplace employee assistance programs where people can get help. For more information about finding treatment, visit the Mental Health Association of East Tennessee's website.

Uni Pasta (Sea Urchin Pasta)
This uni pasta or sea urchin pasta recipe was created a while ago for an old blog. I adapted the recipe from Eat A Duck I Must. I have never posted this recipe on Rasa Malaysia and thought this is a great recipe to share here. It's a perfect dinner date recipe if you want to impress your guests or your significant other.
If I am not mistaken, uni pasta is made famous by celeb chef extraordinaire Eric Ripert. I remember watching a TV program where Eric made his famous signature dish. The briny taste of fresh sea urchin, heavy cream, and cheese paired perfectly in this rich, creamy, and utterly delicious dish.
This weekend, instead of making Asian food, try this uni pasta at home. We absolutely loved it when I made this. And while you are at it, you can sip your favorite white or red wine. It's totally up to you!

I love Uni and I love pasta and this recipe looks delicious. When I was living in Japan one of my favorite lunch spots was a Japanese style spaghetti restaurant called Hayashi Spaghetti. There are several branches in the Tokyo area but I used to go the one in the Nomura Bldg in Nishi Shinjuku. One of my favorites dishes was their Uni, Tarako & Ika spaghetti. Tarako is fresh Cod roe and Ika is fresh calamari. The three ingredients were just mixed together in a wooden bowl, the hot spaghetti was added and quickly stirred into the sauce and finally a handful of shredded nori was scattered on top. I sometimes make this at home when I can get the ingredients. It is absolutely delicious with a very deep sea flavor
That sounds wonderful! Thanks!
How does a uni look like, do you buy the frozen/fresh type? Do they have one which is pre-packed and mashed???
That looks beautiful! Nicely plated!
I've always been intrigued by sea urchin. The roe looks like fish eggs mixed with crab eggs. I wonder if it tastes like that. Don't think many places in Malaysia carry fresh sea urchin. You know of anywhere?
Wow, I made this and it was amazing. A truly unique may of making pasta.
Is it ok for me to ignore the uni? Because none of my family like uni….will the pasta turn out as good?
I love uni pasta dishes! Here in LA, uni spaghetti would likely be considered Japanese-Italian fusion, so technically speaking.. still an "Asian" dish :3 Can't wait to try it!
Would that mean that the yolks would be uncooked?

Carol SmithOctober 14, 2011
Like I have said over and over. There will never be another that can touch the heart and soul with music like Richard Marx. I have relied on his music thru the years. It made the bad times bearable, and the good times great. It's more than "just music" to me! I FINALLY got to see Richard Rock It, in Rochester, MN, my top 10 list of things to do before I turned 50 – 1 thru 10, see Richard Marx in concert. The 6 hour road trip was soooooooooo worth it! Now I am going crazy as the Ultimate Ultimate, Front Row seats to see Richard in Council Bluffs, IA in January. To be able to see the all time Best of the Best again – LIFE IS GOOD!
Michelle VOctober 14, 2011
Wow! You must be very proud of your achievement and rightly so. The music just gets better and better. Keep them coming. Heres to the next 14 number ones.
October 14, 2011
don't forget…Richard also has an extra #1 as a singer with Donna Lewis on a song called At The Beginning on the Radio & Records Adult Contemporary Chart on January 16, 1994
October 14, 2011
ThRe because he's hore gift to. The music world nd he's also gods gift to women now n forever

I lift my glass of Grape/Cranberry on the rocks ;)in a toast to you and all you've accomplished so far in your young life.. [smiles]
Congratulations Richard, you're the best at everything you do.. write, produce and sing. Your voice gets better as time goes… and the words of the songs you write… well.. they are pure magic!
Here's to 14 more Hits [at least!]
Maria SedottiOctober 14, 2011
That article puts everything in perspective about your contributions to the music world over the last four decades. You rock, Richard and we like that.
marxcase1239October 15, 2011
Congrats!!!! That's quite an achievement!!! I imagine the list is pretty small of the artists who have done more at the songwriting level. You are just amazing to me!! Sooo talented!! I hope you go out and celebrate. You deserve it!!!
October 15, 2011
I can't really add much to the mix already said. It's all true. I just knocked on wood (If I'm still alive) that in 10 years we will see that list with another 10 songs on it. This list is just the #1, How about a list of all the songs that reached top 10 or top 5, it would be long. But it would be great to actually see that list.
Anyways you are the best. A true master, who learned from a master. I love your sense of humor. You're not full of yourself (though you have bragging right to be so). Happily married to beautiful Cynthia Rhodes, 3 great, talented sons, many, many good friends. So you have much to be thankful for, much to be proud of. It was cool when asked your proudest accomplishment in a recent interview you answer "Your Children".
You're the good guy that would say something like: Interviewer question. "With all this success Richard, do you ever feel a little diva'ish?" To which Richard would say "What's a Diva?" and laugh.
I find myself laughing at all the Diva's out their that say about Richard: Why don't you just retire already & give us other guys a chance.
Their's no limits on song writing & Richard will never stop (Thank God). I am planning on, counting on, spending the rest of my life with this man's music. It's the food that feeds my soul, day after day, through the good times, but most of all during the bad, dark, painful times. It helps me stay focused & eases the suffering. You know that old wives tale "Music southes the savage beast" – so so true.
Love you man, don't ever stop writing be forever proud that you have lifted the burden of so many millions past, present & future. Everyday you are acquiring new/young fans, that are feeling the same way as all us fans who have been with you since the beginning.
You have written some of the most beautiful lyrics & vocals I have ever heard. I feel privileged & blessed each day that I continue to live & get to hear them. And I will leave this world to the sound of one of my favorites, just haven't decided which one yet. Anyway enough morbidity.
Don't let anyone's envy or jealousy ever sway you from doing what you love doing most.
I am so happy to hear you are coming out with a Christmas CD. I have been waiting for a long time for one. One request, can you maybe also add "You've Never Be Alone" on it as one of the tracks or as a bonus track? That would be awesome. My 2 most favorite Christmas songs are You've Never Be Alone & Chris Rea's "Driving Home for Christmas".
gailinflOctober 15, 2011
AMAZING!!! so proud to be a fan of 24 years!!!
October 15, 2011

colene beckOctober 15, 2011

Ha Vu ThaiOctober 16, 2011
Congrats Richard! You're the best!
CarrieOctober 16, 2011
Completely ecstatic over the unexpected visit from Richard on stage with Keith Urban on Friday night outside Chicago…highlight of the evening! As a little girl, I sang the heck out of Don't Mean Nothing, wanted to go to the concert, but a single mom raising 3 kids on her own didn't lead to many concerts! To hear it live was a super treat! xxoo
TammyOctober 17, 2011
Congrats! Looking forward to your next 14!
Saw your concert last night at the Sound Board.
Awesome! You always put on a great show! Even in a Detroit Blizzard when only half your band showed up (at the Magic Bag in Ferdale, MI a several years back). More concerts in Detroit please!
Michel KeldermanOctober 18, 2011
For over twenty years I listen to your music and it still gets beter.
Hopefully you will come overseas to Europe in the near future. In Holland your known cause of the songs "right here waiting" and "hazard" but thats just the top of an iceberg.
I will keep on supporting you in Holland, by posting links to your website on facebook, it already made some (re)new(ed) fans.
Best regards
October 18, 2011
i love richard & tank you..
DarleneOctober 21, 2011
Nicely done! Congratulations to you!
October 21, 2011
I think the reason Richard and Keith are so good is because they aren't afraid to show their feelings in song writing and singing. Some men cannot let loose and show how they are feeling. They are both great !!!!
NedOctober 22, 2011
Congratulations!!! 14 in four decades — Quite an accomplishment! What a great and diverse list of songs!!! Just got your Greatest Hits, I think it will be the first CD I will wear out!
dsgmisuOctober 22, 2011
Want more number 1 songs.. But also with your voice….
briguyxOctober 26, 2011
And you didn't "cheat" by having someone remake or sample one of your songs! New work in each decade! That's the most impressive thing!
BrangAugust 2, 2012
I like the song ,I will be waiting for you.
charleneDecember 30, 2012
Hi I have been a fan since I was a teen in the 80s and you are still my favorite artist

Richard, you are a professional and personal inspiration! Your talent and philantrophy is what makes American Music great! Thanks for the years of great music and being a role model to millions!

I actually didn't go natural until after the Disney College Program, but I can give you advice on what I'd do now if I was going back!
The Disney Look is a pretty loose guideline. What they're really hard on is extreme hairstyling and facial hair and piercings or tattoos. They won't mind if you have curly hair, or a fro, or braids or twists—and those guidelines only apply during your work day. So if for 8 hours you just put your hair in a ponytail and wear a cute headband, you can do whatever you want on Disney property for the rest of your free time. With my hair now, I'd probably just do a wash n' go, or on lazy days do a little afro puff or twists. I really hope that helps :D

The city of Tucson's first indirect left turn is up and running at Grant Road and Oracle.
Drivers can no longer turn left off Grant onto Oracle.
They'll have to pass through the intersection on Grant, make a U-turn, then come back to make a right on Oracle.
Tucson police say they will pull over drivers who make an illegal left.
Officers say they'll write warnings for a week, possibly two.
They will ticket illegal left turners after that.
There still is some construction left to be done.
For instance, there'll be more striping. The safe areas for bicyclists have not be painted on the pavement yet.
The city expects to build six more indirect left turn intersections on Grant, all the way to Swan Road.
There is another indirect left turn in the Tucson area. It's at Ina Road and Oracle.
Indirect lefts can be confusing at first.
Signs direct drivers what to do.
Some signs at Grant and Oracle might be a bit confusing.
Click the attached demonstration animations on how to make the indirect left turn.

Nearly 200 lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) undocumented young people have either received or are in the process of receiving two-year work permits and reprieves from the threat of deportation, thanks to a fund made possible by over three-dozen LGBT organizations. (February 2013)
A new national study reveals that nonprofit organizations are stuck in a vicious cycle that threatens their ability to raise the resources they need to succeed. The study found high levels of turnover and lengthy vacancies in development director positions throughout the sector. More significantly, the study points to deeper issues that contribute to instability in the development director role, including a lack of basic fundraising systems and inadequate attention to fund development among key board and staff leaders.

Mitchell Public Safety has released the autopsy report of 59-year-old woman who died in a mobile home fire Saturday.
Public Safety Chief Lydon Overweg said autopsy results are constant of that involving someone who died in a fire. Cheryl Lynn Roop, 59, died in the fire in Mitchell.
Mitchell Public Safety says it received the call just after 4a.m. this morning and by the time they got to the mobile home, it was fully engulfed in flames.
Earlier Story:
Authorities say one person has died and three others were hurt after an early-morning fire destroyed a mobile home in Mitchell.
Authorities tell us a family lived in that mobile home and the person who died was 59-year-old Cheryl Lynn Roop who was a resident of the home.
Three others have been treated and released.
It happened in the 900 block of West 2nd Avenue around 4 o'clock this morning.
KSFY News spoke with neighbors in that area and some even knew the family.
One neighbor said the sound of sirens didn't wake him up in the middle of the night, but his barking dog did, which seemed to know something was wrong.
Cecil Wilson said "my dog was carrying on barking and everything. I got up and I heard some sirens but I didn't think anything about it so I let her out and happen to see somebody run down through here with lights on, so I went out and looked and saw a fire.">
His barking dog and the sounds of fire crews rushing to the scene were not the only noises to get Wilson's attention this morning.
"About five minutes later, here comes another truck and it laid the hoses down and I heard about three or four explosions go off," Wilson said.
Later in the day, he heard the news about what happened.
"I hear just a few minutes ago, four people were in the trailer, three got out and one didn't make it," Wilson said.
Wilson didn't know the people who lived in the home, but David Wise who owns the property did.
"I knew the mother, I knew the daughter and I had seen the baby. I don't know the child's father," Wise said.
"The older lady had a stroke, she just got around with a walker," Wise said.
Wise said the woman who died was trying to take care of her daughter and grandchild.
"She was a nice lady. because of her condition, she had problems, but she paid her rent. she was a proud woman," Wise said.
Mitchell public safety has not released the name of the 59-year-old woman who died in the fire.
An autopsy will be performed on Monday.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation but authorities say it does not appear to be suspicious.

We navigated closer, the GPS guided, "Turn left ... turn right ... (and finally) ...you have reached your destination."
The black gate of Barbara Banke's Stonestreet Farm is emblazoned with the Stonestreet logo. Dan, the gate attendant, greeted us, "Are you gentleman hear to see Rachel?" We nodded an emphatic "Yes!"
The gate opened. A friend from Stonestreet, Amy Kearns, greeted us with a golf cart and a bright smile. My co-worker and friend, Brian W. Spencer, turned to me and said, "This is going to be cool."
I agreed.
It was windy and cold, but the sun shown brightly on this perfect fall day. The wide open fields allowed a crisp wind to cut through us like a razor blade, but at the same time the warmth of the sun rested on our faces.
I, of course, forgot a sweatshirt.
As we drove around the farm, we passed by several barns named after different types of wine (chardonnay, merlot, etc.). Amy told us a bit about the history of Jess Jackson and Barbara Banke, the Jackson Family Wines and last but not least, Curlin and Rachel Alexandra.
As the golf cart hummed toward our final destination, we passed several fields where weanlings (baby horses), such as Jess's Dream, the son of Curlin and Rachel Alexandra, and sidekick Union Jackson, were enjoying the day with an afternoon snack, the green (blue)grass. As the cart turned toward the Zinfandel barn, we could see the silhouette of someone very special waiting for us.
I asked, "Is that her?"
Amy smiled, "That's her."
Her name is Rachel Alexandra. For many reading this, I don't have to say much more than that.
Rachel, the 2009 Horse of the Year, put together one of the most impressive campaigns of any racehorse ever. Rachel won the Kentucky Oaks (G1), Mother Goose Stakes (G1), Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1), Woodward Stakes (G1), and who could forget the Preakness Stakes (G1).
Rachel walked toward us, fully showing a large baby bump as her coat glistened in the sunlight. At this stage in her life, Rachel doesn't worry about morning workouts or traveling around the country to win races, because her job is to be a mom now. Rachel, in foal (pregnant) to Bernardini (the baby's dad), was standing right there.
Although he was nervous, I let Brian meet her first. As he learned to stroke her neck to her satisfaction, he spoke with Cheri Mercier-Bradicich, the broodmare manager. I spent my time, bending the ear of Stonestreet's farm manager, Garry Megibben.
Garry, spent well over an hour and a half answering the many questions I had regarding the day-to-day operations of the farm. More importantly, I was interested to learn about the human interaction that one has with, not only Rachel, but the other 90+ pregnant broodmares (or mothers, as us humans would say) on the property.
As our visit continued, something that was interesting to note at this point for me was that I never thought of horses in any other way, than by what I saw in the program.
Whether it was a speed figure, a morning workout or a class dropper, most horses to me never really had a living, breathing element to them. I know this may sound odd, but as someone who teaches the game and plays it, you never really think about it all that much. When you are figuring out the puzzle that is a horse race, you try to figure out the pace of the race and how the race will play out. You don't think about where a horse was born, when the horse likes to eat or sleep and the people that care for them.
As Rachel posed for photographs, Garry filled me in on the many aspects of the farm. I learned about the timeline that a mare carries a foal, feeding and caring for horses and just about everything else he could teach me in the short period of time. This learning process changed my thoughts on how I always perceived horses and horse racing. See, to Garry these horses are like family. Amy even shared with us that, "Garry tucks his kids into bed and then he comes back out here and tucks Rachel in." I am sure this element exists at most other farms, too, but there is a compassionate feeling that exists at Stonestreet I had never considered.
It was now my turn to meet Rachel. As Garry pointed me over to meet her, I realized I was nervous just like Brian had been.
I believe we both warmed up to each other after a few strokes of her back. Cheri took Rachel back into the Zinfandel barn, where she currently resides, and we chatted some more. As we talked, my focus turned suddenly away from the predictability of a horse's genes and the outcome on the track, to the interaction between Rachel and first foal, Jess's Dream.
Garry mentioned that Rachel allowed Jess's Dream to be independent and to explore freely and be, in a way, his own horse.
I learned that Rachel has around-the-clock care and that she thoroughly loves her new role in her life. The thing I enjoyed most of all was the passion and happiness that Amy, Garry and Cheri had for their jobs and their life at the farm.
On our way back to our car, we made a few stops on the way. Amy stopped the golf cart near a large, gated field. Many might say there was a feeling that we we were about to meet a horse with the status of royalty, but Jess's Dream was actually very friendly and almost wise beyond his years, with his mom's looks and his dad's temperament. Ironically, we share this in common and many people in my family would describe me the same way. He grazed a bit as Brian and I took a few photos and enjoyed the last couple of moments of the farm on that gorgeous day.
As I took one last look to capture the picturesque and scenic views of the farm, I really appreciated the experience I just had.
Since that day, I have had some time to reflect on what I wanted to write about and I found it simple, as I came to one understanding in my mind. A month ago, I would have looked at a racehorse as a number in a program. While I still notice those things when handicapping, I now see a lot more. I think about the people that bring horses into their racing careers. I see the farms in which they were raised and the history of the parents who have influenced their lives.
Most importantly of all, I now see the natural beauty of what makes a horse a racehorse. At the end of the day, many roles are needed to make horse racing a success. It is important that we recognize the roles of those on the farm.

Lightweighting is a concept well known to structural designers and engineers in all applications areas, from laptops to bicycles to automobiles to buildings and airplanes. Reducing the weight of structures can provide many advantages, including increased energy efficiency, better design, improved usability, and better coupling with new, multifunctional features. While lightweighting is a challenge in commercial structures, the special demands of military vehicles for survivability, maneuverability and transportability significantly stress the already complex process.
Application of Lightweighting Technology to Military Vehicles, Vessels, and Aircraft assesses the current state of lightweighting implementation in land, sea, and air vehicles and recommends ways to improve the use of lightweight materials and solutions. This book considers both lightweight materials and lightweight design; the availability of lightweight materials from domestic manufacturers; and the performance of lightweight materials and their manufacturing technologies. It also considers the "trade space"--that is, the effect that use of lightweight materials or technologies can have on the performance and function of all vehicle systems and components. This book also discusses manufacturing capabilities and affordable manufacturing technology to facilitate lightweighting.
Application of Lightweighting Technology to Military Vehicles, Vessels, and Aircraft will be of interest to the military, manufacturers and designers of military equipment, and decision makers.

All False statements involving Barack Obama
"There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jump-start the economy."
"Senator McCain would pay for part of his (health care) plan by making drastic cuts in Medicare — $882-billion worth."
"The centerpiece of Senator McCain's education policy is to increase the voucher program in D.C. by 2,000 slots."
Under John McCain's health care plan, people get a $5,000 tax credit to buy a $12,000 health care policy, and "that's a loss for you."
John McCain accused Barack Obama "of letting infants die."
"Oil companies ...currently have 68-million acres that they're not using."
McCain "has opposed stem cell research."
"But if my opponent had his way, the millions of Floridians who rely on it would've had their Social Security tied up in the stock market this week."
"The fact is that although we have had a president who is opposed to abortion over the last eight years, abortions have not gone down.''
Oil companies "haven't touched" 68 million acres where they already have rights to drill.
Fully inflating tires is "a step that every expert says would absolutely reduce our oil consumption by 3 to 4 percent."
John McCain refuses to support a new bipartisan energy bill "because it would take away tax breaks from oil companies like Exxon Mobil."
The U.S. government spends less on energy innovation "than the pet food industry invests in its own products."
"Our National Guard, as we saw in the Midwest flooding, can't function as effectively as it could. I was talking to National Guard representatives. Fifteen of their 17 helicopters in this region were overseas during the flooding."
"I think we came down here (to Florida) one time ... but we weren't actively fundraising here."
"I have never said that I don't wear flag pins or refuse to wear flag pins."
"He's promising four more years of an administration that will push for the privatization of Social Security..."
"We are bogged down in a war that John McCain now suggests might go on for another 100 years."
"Hillary Clinton believed NAFTA was a 'boon' to our economy."
"As has been noted by many observers, including Bill Clinton's former secretary of labor, my plan does more than anybody to reduce costs."

Adam Lallana to be glued to TV for West Ham match tonight
10:35am Monday 23rd April 2012 in Sport By Gordon Simpson , Senior Sports Reporter
ADAM Lallana admitted he will find it impossible not to watch tonight's match between Leicester and West Ham.
After the disappointment of Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Middlesbrough, Saints can experience elation this evening.
If the third-placed Hammers fail to win, then Nigel Adkins' men will hold an unassailable lead over them going into the final day of the season and will be guaranteed a place in the Premier League.
While the manager insisted he won't be watching, Lallana said he will definitely be in front of the television.
"It's going to be impossible not to watch, or at least keep an eye on the score," he said.
"The prize is so great, obviously." You never know. Leicester are a good team, West Ham are a good team. Anything can happen."
Lallana was only just breaking into the Saints first team when Foxes manager Nigel Pearson was in charge at St Mary's.
The midfielder was part of Pearson's side that ensured Championship safety on a dramatic final day of the 2007/08 season, thanks to a 3-2 home win over Sheffield United.
And Lallana is hoping his old boss can secure another crucial result for the club tonight, which would ease any tension ahead of Saturday's home clash with Coventry.
"We'd love Leicester to get a result," he said. "But West Ham will be right up for it, no doubt.
"Obviously, Pearson was here.
I'm sure they're going to want to win. It's a game of football.
"But it's still in our hands come Saturday, regardless of the result.
"At home, we fancy ourselves against anyone. But it's disappointing obviously not to get a result."
Lallana cut a downbeat figure after the defeat at the Riverside Stadium, knowing Saints had missed a chance to book a place in the top flight.
"The lads are gutted, obviously,"
he said. "It was in our hands.
"We scored so early that maybe it didn't settle us at all in fact.
"We couldn't get hold of the ball. (Nicky) Bailey was causing us a few issues, just sitting in front of the back four.
"We just wanted to get to halftime and have a chat and what not, but they scored just before.
"It's our own fault. We took the lead, we should have capitalised on it and we didn't."
Lallana added: "Obviously, being in the situation we were in, we wanted to do it (against Middlesbrough).
"Our away form's been superb of late and just gutted we couldn't take advantage of such a great start."
