Newburyport Daily News
---- — If you listened to the conventional wisdom in the lead-up to Tuesday's election, you'd have expected Republican Richard Tisei to be the next congressman in the 6th District — and you'd have been wrong.
Against almost all predictions, incumbent John Tierney survived a brutal campaign in which he was outspent, dogged by a family scandal that dominated the race and hit with a late tidal wave of momentum for his challenger. It all fueled a sense of inevitability as Election Day approached.
Tisei had been supremely confident the last few weeks of the campaign, even spending thousands to run an advertisement of nothing but waves crashing into Good Harbor Beach to give voters a reprieve from the political noise. The message of the ad seemed clear: "We've got this in the bag."
But they didn't.
In the end, Tierney's quiet, grass-roots support in the district, and the strength of the good will he has built through thousands of personal connections during his 16 years in Congress, trumped millions of dollars in negative advertising, his supporters and staff said in interviews yesterday.
"The truth is, inside this district when you ask people the question, 'Does John Tierney do a good job?' the answer is 'Yes,'" said Michael Goldman, a Democratic political strategist and a personal friend of Tierney's. "Performance really does matter.
"John Tierney is not necessarily the guy you would invite to your St. Patrick's Day dinner, and no one would ever invite him on 'The Tonight Show.' But he's at literally thousands of events across the district. Voters reward guys who do the job."
Tierney told The Salem News yesterday that he always believed the voters would recognize his record.
"We were trusting in people that they were knowledgeable of who I was," he said. "We always felt that if we spoke about the issues, it would work out."
Tierney rolled up his biggest margins in the district's most populous communities, including Lynn, Salem, Peabody, Gloucester and Beverly. In Lynn, Tierney won a whopping 70 percent of the vote. It was such a huge margin and swung Tisei's prospects so suddenly that the Republican campaign was throwing out possible conspiracy theories Tuesday and yesterday to explain it.
Agnes Ricko, co-chairwoman of the Lynn Democratic City Committee, said there's no complicated scheme that allowed Tierney to win so big in Lynn.
"It was a lot of hard work by John Tierney. He has spent so much time in this city the last 16 years," Ricko said. "People know him because he's here and he has delivered so much to our community, as he has to the district. It's personal to so many of our volunteers here."
In Salem, the passion and turnout for Tierney nearly equaled that of Lynn. Tierney got 65 percent of the vote there.
The city's Democratic regulars were all fired up at a rally, headlined by Gov. Deval Patrick, the day before the election.
"We need to take care of our congressman tomorrow; every minute of every hour you give us is going to be critically important," Salem state Rep. John Keenan told volunteers on Monday.
The volunteers did what was needed in Salem and throughout the district.
"I have to give a lot of credit to the (Elizabeth) Warren campaign. They had a tremendous statewide and local organization and worked seamlessly and closely with our organizations," said Matt Robison, Tierney's campaign manager.
"On the local level, we were tightly coordinated and pulling as a team. It was a truly unprecedented effort of voter contact and outreach."
The Tierney team itself believed it outworked Tisei at the end, when Republicans were feeling confident of victory, Robison said.
"John was everywhere the last few days, from fire stations to train stations to senior centers. We were beginning to have a good feeling, and we tried to keep ourselves in position to win through the ground game. We knew we had an unbelievable organization."
Democrats also thought the personal attacks from Republicans aimed at Tierney and his wife, Patrice, motivated some of the grass-roots effort.
"People were tired of it," Ricko said. "They didn't like it, and it gave them more energy."
The third-party effect
Many Republicans yesterday had very different explanations for Tierney's victory, pointing to Libertarian candidate Daniel Fishman as the culprit.
Fishman received about 16,700 votes across the district — the margin of victory for Tierney was about 3,600 — and most people thought he pulled votes disproportionately from Tisei.
"Nobody can ever convince me that Dan Fishman didn't cost Richard Tisei this election," said Barbara Anderson of Marblehead, founder of Citizens for Limited Taxation and, until recently, a self-described Libertarian.
She was so upset by Tuesday's outcome that she has renounced that affiliation.
"We could have had the closest thing we've ever had to a Libertarian in Congress with Richard Tisei," she said, noting that he is both fiscally conservative and socially liberal. "He lost because of Dan Fishman's ego ... (and) these ideologue Libertarians who vote on principle even if they destroy the country doing it."
Fishman, who said yesterday that he was "stunned at the results," said he would have preferred Tisei in Congress over Tierney, because the Republican would raise the national debt more slowly than the Democrat. But Fishman completely disagreed with the notion that he took votes away from Tisei.
He polled 100 people per week throughout the election, he said, and the results indicate that he took very few votes from either candidate.
When supporters were asked why they were voting for him, "the overwhelming response was, 'I'm voting for you because I believe John Tierney stepped over the line, and there's no way I could vote for a Republican at this point in time," Fishman said.
"When we asked who are you voting for and why, one thing was very apparent: A lot of people in the district would not vote for a Republican no matter how progressive he is, because of national issues."
Fishman pointed to other culprits for Tisei's surprising loss. The Massachusetts GOP's unjust unseating of young delegates supporting Ron Paul turned off a lot of young supporters across the state, he said. And independents and dissatisfied Democrats were turned off, he believes, by the GOP's backward platform and outrageous comments about rape from some Republicans on a national level.
Unofficial results
231 of 231 precincts
John Tierney, Democrat, 179,603 — 48 percent
Richard Tisei, Republican, 175,953 — 47 percent
Daniel Fishman, Libertarian, 16,668 — 4 percent

The North Face Buildering
4-star: 1
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
Great approach shoe! Worked really well in the Black…
Materials: Leather upper. Vibram sole.
Use: Approach and bouldering.
Break-in Period: Good out of the box.
Price Paid: $60
Great approach shoe! Worked really well in the Black Hills and held up to the sharp granite really well. The Vibram sole is super sticky and rand on the toe and heel allow for better grip and a few more technical moves. Extra low cut allows for a better range of motion.
Doesn't make a good trail shoe because of the shallow tread and little support. Then again they're not really made for hiking so if you're wanting a hiking shoe, look elsewhere. They're ok for light hikes unless you have problem feet, they seem to put a lot of pressure on my heels. They're showing a little bit of wear but I've had them for well over a year and they've seen some hard use so it's understandable. Overall a very good and well crafted approach shoe.
This is a great shoe for scrambling and approach hikes!
Materials: leather
Use: scrambling
Break-in Period: fast
Weight: I dunno
Price Paid: $50
This is a great shoe for scrambling and approach hikes! It's not that great for typical hiking on trails because it doesn't have much tread on the sole, and has no ankle support. But I didn't buy it for trail hiking.
I have found this shoe more durable than the Montrail D7 which I destoyed in only a few months of use (wore the tread through to the sole in the heel and toe). The North Face shoe has more tread on the bottom of the shoe than the Montrail. It also has more durable upper fabrics. After one week of wearing the Montrail D7, I had ripped out the linning in the heel! I have had the North Face shoe for 4 months and it is still intact, the tread is getting thin, but it should hold awhile longer. As far as fit is concerned, the North Face shoe fits my narrow foot well when I have it laced down.
My main problem with the North Face shoe, as well as the Montrail D7, is neither shoe had a full rubber toe. What I mean is a rubber toe that wraps around the top of the shoe and connects all the way to the tread, like a climbing shoe. Instead, the rubber toe rand only goes to the midsole cushining and stops. If they would have brought the rubber down to the sole on the toe of these shoes it would have opened more technical climbing possibilities.
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
If you've ever hiked for miles to a scrambling destination only to find that your sticky rubber shoes were locked away back in your car at the trailhead, The North Face Buildering shoe is a practical solution that lightens your packload and your packing worries. This innovative shoe features a sophisticated dual-compound sole consisting of Vibram hiking lugs with a sticky rubber compound around the toe, forefoot and edges. Extra compound around the heel extends the life of the shoe by slowing trail wear on the sticky rubber sections. The laces extend further down the shoe so you can tighten up in technical spots and loosen the laces on the flat stretches. The North Face Buildering shoe gives you the best of both worlds without the hassles of packing an extra pair of shoes or hiking boots.

Hello everyone! I am starting this log to help keep me accountable. I have always done better when I know others are watching. If you see me slacking then let me know.
I have been training pretty consistently for over 4 years now. I got a wake up call from my doctor and decided to actually listen to him (boy was he shocked). In that time I have dropped close to 40 pounds (low of 137 lbs at 9%) and cut and bulked back to where I am now with an average lean mass gain of around 5 7 lbs per year. If you believe in body type classifications I would say that I was leaning towards being an ectomorph with the majority of my fat storage in the midsection.
Currently I am around 175 lbs and 14% body fat (pictures coming soon). I am just shy of 5' 8" and almost 45 years old. My best 1 rep lifts were from about two months ago at the end of my most recent bulk. They are probably a bit lower now, as I have not been going heavy since then.
Flat Bench Press 290 lbs.
Back Squat 332.5 lbs.
Conventional Dead lift (hook grip with straps) 380 lbs.
Overhead Press 167.5 lbs.
Power Clean 175 lbs.
Here is a list of what I have been doing over the last 4 years
Jan 2004 - Nov 2004 (Fat loss and beginning strength training using HST)
Dec 2005 - March 2006 (Max OT bulk)
April 2005 -May 2006
April 2005 - Sept 2005 (SGX with Swolecat coaching Link to journal)
Sept 2005 - March 2006 (SUP 2 with Swolecat coaching for the first 3 months)
April 2006 - August 2006 (SGX without coaching)
Oct 2006 - Dec 2006 (SUP 2 without coaching)
Jan 2007 - Feb 2007 (SGX diet with bodybuilding routine)
March 2007 - June 2007 (Get Shredded diet with bodybuilding routine)
July 2007 - August 2007 (WSFSB bulk)
Sept 2007 - Dec 2007 (Starting Strength)
Jan 2008 - July 2008 (Texas Method)
August - September (Whole body workout with progressively lower rest periods)
Into the Fire
Earlier this year I was contemplating my progress and where I was headed. I have had no direct coaching and workout at home so, as my weights have increased, I have worried about my form. My progress has been OK but I am fighting father time and feel I need to step things up to reach my ideal physique. I have also recently become interested in Olympic lifts. What all this told me was that I needed a one on one trainer.
Thanks to Google I was able to find someone in my area that was a perfect fit for my needs. You might know him as he is a prominent member of this board. He goes by Borris and his real name is Issac Wilkins. Check out his web site or blog if you get a chance. I feel like I could not have been any luckier to have such a qualified trainer close by.
I had my first training session with Issac on Wednesday. Man I should not have dropped cardio! I am out of time but I will post my impressions about it soon.

First Day
So Isaac shows up and I give him the 10 cent tour, what equipment I have available. We end up in the garage where I have recently built a weightlifting platform (for my new bumper plates). He gives me a few exercises to do as a warm up. He checks my power clean form and gives me some spots to work on.
The he hits me with, "I want you to do as many clean and presses as you can in 10 minutes."
I think, well, I only have 95 lbs on the bar, this can't be that bad...
Wrong! It is hot in the garage, I am a little winded from some other stuff we have done. It quickly becomes a game of me not pushing myself so far that I puke. He stops me after 5 minutes and 18 reps.
This is exactly what I am looking for. There is no way I would do something like this on my own without someone telling me to. I hate high intensity stuff but I know that I should do it (funny thing is, I used to feel this way about squats and deads). I am sure there will be more to come and although I do not really look forward to doing it, I know I will be better for it. Who knows, maybe it will become a staple of my routines like squats and deads have?
Afterwards we talked about my goals, what his views are on several fitness topics, and just bull****ted a bit. I really am glad I decided to contact him.
I am taking a week vacation to the mountains starting on October 4th so I plan on cutting down until then and hope to be around 10% BF. Once I get back I will start bulking again and focus on size and strength. In addition to this I want him to work with me on my form, especially on powerlifting and Olympic lifts.
These pictures are from August 08 at the end of my bulk.

Monday 9/9/08
Had another training session with Isaac. To start off he clipped me for a body fat reading that came in at 15.6% if I remember correctly. I was kinda shocked that it was so high but don't really worry about it as it is just a number to help us gauge progress. I may work with my calipers to try to get a more accurate reading like this.
We moved into some lifts and he checked my form on overhead squats (bar only). This is a new movement to me so I expected to have to do some work on it. It sounds like I need to work on some flexibility issues so I can get the weight farther back and have a stronger lockout. My balance was also a little off when I did some lunges with the bar overhead. Once we finished I could really feel it in my middle back.
Next up was cleans. We spent a long time going over my form and picking out the weak points. My areas for improvement were starting farther over the bar, keeping my elbows out and up while getting a good shrug, pushing my hips forward, and dropping under the bar. LOL, wait a minute, that is the whole lift! Really I don't think it was that bad and I am glad I have someone to help me improve. Everything he told me to do makes sense it is just getting to the point where the move is automatic will take some practice.
He threw in a set of Pendlay rows and then uttered the word that I dread to hear, conditioning.
Dumbbell Swings, Dumbbell Thrusters, Spider Push ups, and Mountain Climbers had me gasping on the mat in no time. Call me a wimp but let me ask you this...
When is the last time you were pushed out of your comfort zone?
Borris is a good man. You are in good hands. Good luck with your goals.

Due to some misinterpretation I previously had this a little screwed up. Isaac set me straight. Although this is still pretty demanding for me, I managed to do it without any extra rest other than a few seconds here and there near the end. I also finally got the movement down for the sprinter sit-ups so I don't look like I am having a seizure anymore.
Got the next step in my program so that starts tonight.
Good to see one of Isaac's clients up here. You're in more than capable hands. Isaac, Will, You and myself will have to get a session in together when I travel down to lift with Will.
Fuck, fight, or hold the light.

Ab Circuit (repeat circuit three times, with one minute of rest between circuits):
Sprinter Sit-ups: 1x10
Toe Touches: 1x20
Flutter Kicks: 1x20
20:00 of steady state cardio
On the last set of Push-Presses I tweaked my lower back a bit. It was from a bit of fatigue and a lot of stupidity. I stretched it out on the floor for about 3 minutes before continuing with the next exercise.
The ab circuit was ugly. I am finally getting the Sprinter Sit-ups down though. I didn't get all of the Toe Touches and rested a few seconds each time to finish the Flutters. Man what a burn. Gonna look for the rest next time.
My back feels pretty good today so it is minor thank goodness. Took some Aleve last night and this morning. I might push training back one day or swap some stuff around to give it a bit more rest. We will see what the man says. I also am thinking about wearing a belt anytime I do a back exercise, not for support but for a reminder to keep it straight and keep my core tight. I usually do something stupid like this once a year or so and I need to be smarter than that.
Hey man, good work in here! Everyone is saying nice things about me, but that's the power of the internet: I can fool them all!
Seriously, all, this cat can work out. He approaches everything with focus, determination, and rationality. I'm having a blast working with him and he'll only see great success.
As for the back, if it's still feeling sore by about 3:30 today, then take the day off. Rest up, take a hot shower, and stretch if it feels tight.
I'd rather not see a belt during the conditioning work, but we'll work out some stabilization stuff. Keep up the good work!

3:00 warmup
8 intervals (30 second max effort/1:00 recovery)
10:00 cool down
Back was still tight last night so I tried HIIT. I felt good after the warmup so I continued with the intervals. It actually felt better afterward. Got taken to Outback for B-Day dinner and if I had remembered how freaking uncomfortable their seating is I would have gone somewhere else. On a side note I ate a 6 oz sirloin, sweet potato and broccoli so stayed pretty close to my regular diet macros (except for that small slice of bread).
My back definitely feels better this morning but it is still not 100%. It really doesn't help matters that I sit in a chair all day. Hopefully this weekend I can get past this.

20:00 moderate pace
Average heart rate for the intervals was 154 bpm.
Back is still bothering me a bit, getting better each day though. Gonna take a day off tomorrow, have some B-Day cake and a good cheat meal.

Saturday was cheat day and I took the day off from training. Had Chik-fil-A for lunch and GF fixed me an awesome ribeye dinner. Also threw in some cake and ice cream. Morning meals were good, afternoon and evening was calorie pounding time. I probably won't go this extreme again until I end my cut. Sunday meals were back on schedule.
Back was still nagging me this morning and riding the mower did not help matters. After this evenings workout I don't feel it at all though. Lets hope it stays that way.
Rant time: My 5 year old string trimmer decided not to start today (1st time ever). I debated just going out and buying a new one but I hate to be one of those people that just throw things away instead of fixing them. Well, after 3 hours I got tired of messing with it. I might look at it again but there is a chance that I will drive my truck over it a few times instead. Between this and my back I was in a pretty pissy mood most of the day.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Brown-Forman says it will spend more than $35 million to expand its operations at the Woodford Reserved Distillery.
The company intends to add warehouses where the bourbon ages for several years before bottling. The company also plans to add stills, improve its bottling line, and increase its capacity.
The distillery has 30 full-time employees right now, with the expansion expected to add another 15 jobs. State officials say the company could receive up to $3 million in tax incentives.
The Woodford Reserve investment is happening during the largest expansion in Kentucky's bourbon industry since Prohibition. Kentucky distilleries have invested $265 million in new and expanded facilities in the past couple of years.

A poet replies to criticism of his latest book
Mississauga, ON, poet Keith Garebian, PhD, '73, responds to criticism of his most recent book
Re: "A Question of Interpretation?", Issue #4 –2010, pp.5-6
Ilkim Hincer and Ilke Hincer accuse Jane Switzer of making "an unfortunate error in judgment" in her article on me and my new poetry collection, Children of Ararat, which is about my Armenian father and the genocide he and his people suffered at the hands of the Ottoman Turks during WWI.
Despite the civil tone of their letter, the writers repeat the usual talking points and clichés of the official, rank Turkish denial of one of the worst atrocities ever committed against a people. They would have us believe that almost 1.5 million Armenians perished because of starvation and disease during the "forced mass relocation." The irony in this claim should be obvious: who starved them and how did they suffer disease? Moreover, where were they being relocated? Canyons, caves, and the impossible desert—the Turks' version of Auschwitz?
There is simply nothing new or valid in the joint Hincer claims. The Western world (that has overwhelmingly agreed with Raphael Lemkin (a Jew) who coined the word "genocide" to cover this atrocity and subsequent ones like it) has heard the same outrageous distortions and lies for over 95 years: the Armenians (almost all of whom were disarmed by the Turks in the years preceding the genocide) would foment rebellion (what, even the babies, young boys and girls, and old men and women?); that many Turks also died during the war (so did the Nazis, but that doesn't absolve them of genocide); that Armenians were helping the Russians behind Turkish lines (what, even the small villages and communities far removed from those very lines and who didn't know what was happening there?); and that Armenian propaganda is responsible for promoting the view of Turkish denial (what, are Taner Akcam, Orhan Pamuk, Elif Shafak, and all the Turkish intellectuals and scholars who recently signed a declaration recognizing Turkey's "shameful act"–a euphemism, if there ever was one—suddenly non-Turks?).
Do the letter writers not know of the headlines in international papers and magazines of the day regarding the mass killings of 1915? Have they not heard of American ambassador Morgenthau's reports of the atrocities at the time they were being committed? Have they been blissfully unaware that some of the leading perpetrators of the genocide were condemned to death in absentia by world tribunals?
If there is anything unfortunate about the Hincers' letter it is their refusal to engage with facts. Is it not a crime in modern Turkey to "insult Turkishness" by recognizing the genocide? Is it not a fact that Turks have desecrated scores of Armenian monuments and cemeteries and have attempted to remove any trace of Armenians from their guidebooks?
I do share the Hincers' hope that "one day Armenians and Turks will reconcile," but that day will not dawn until modern Turkey indulges in the three R's (Recognition, Repentance, and Reparation) for their crime against humanity.

Lighthearted obituary: Heartbreak over Chiefs contributed to man's death
GRANDVIEW, Mo. - One Kansas City family is able to find some humor in a time of mourning.
Loren Lickteig, an Air Force veteran and former Grandview councilman, passed away Nov. 14. His obituary, printed in The Kansas City Star, reads as follows:
"Loren G. 'Sam' Lickteig passed away on Nov. 14, 2012 of complications from MS and heartbreaking disappointment caused by the Kansas City Chiefs."
Lickteig's daughter, Jennifer, said her dad was a longtime Chiefs fan.
"My dad was such a comedian," she said. "He loved the Chiefs, so we had to let him have the last word."
"If we weren't laughing, we'd be crying," daughter Diana Hennessey said.
Lickteig did not write his own obituary, but his daughters said he would have approved of the humor many are finding in it.
The obituary comes the same day as a 28-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals where many Chiefs fans donned black at Arrowhead Stadium in protest of the season and General Manager Scott Pioli.
The Chiefs are 1-9.

5 Tips to Start Your Path to a Debt-Free Life NOW!
October 15, 2012 | Posted By: Stella Walker | Categorized in: Finance
Feeling financially overwhelmed is an emotional experience. Guilt, shame, frustration and even fear are often felt by those who feel buried in debt.
Eventually, the emotions associated with your debt will begin to take their toll on you. They may cause you to shy away from facing your debt; and they can even make you spend more to maintain the borrowed lifestyle youve built. Its time to break away from all of these emotions and take control.
1. Accept your Income.The first step of getting out of debt is reaching acceptance. You must accept your income as a rigid, constant variable. As Americans, we are always looking forward to the future, for a better time, when the economy will be more fruitful or when we will land the dream job we need to pay off our debt.
If you are financially overwhelmed, you absolutely cannot afford to think this way. Your personal finances may not be ideal, but you will never be able to afford a better lifestyle if you fail to develop financial discipline. If you sit around on a pile of debt waiting for the world to change (or to win the lottery), youre simply not facing reality.
2. Face the figures.Take off your blinders, grab a calculator and write down the amount you have charged to each account. Include the APR as well as your monthly payment. Now, use a credit card calculator to evaluate the amount of time it will take you to pay off your debt under your current payment plan.
Ok, take a deep breath. I know how hard it can be. Ive been there.
3. Map out your expenses.Now that youve accepted your income and your debt, its time to look at your spending habits. What are you using your money for? Are you playing with it? Or are you building with it? If youre serious about getting out of debt, its time to use your money to build.
And your first project is to build a ladder to get out of the financial hole youve dug for yourself.
Look at your bank statement right now. (Seriously, if you have online banking, login right now.) How much you spend on coffee, treats, clothes, dining and entertainment? These are the big categories that can be slashed in your budget.
If you feel as though you dont have any wiggle room, look more closely. Can you cut back your grocery budget? Can you live without cable? Can you use less electricity or carpool to save costs on gas? There are many different ways to save money; you just have to find them.
4. Start living on a budget.Its commonly said that part of being rich is living as though you are poor. Now that you are committed to changing your lifestyle and building your wealth, you need to focus on structuring a budget for your expendable income. This is what you spend after bills (rent, utilities, phone, credit cards and other payments).
Look at the money you can afford to live without and allocate this money to the credit card account that charges the highest amount of interest. Use the calculator to find out how much faster you will pay off the balance. Youll be so relieved to know that there is absolutely something you can do right now to begin working toward a debt-free life. You dont have to wait around for any life-changing external factor because you can change your life. You are in control.
5. Embrace a positive attitude.There are two ways you can approach budgeting your money. You can see it as negative, as a restriction or limitation; or you can find empowerment through taking control. As excited as you may be at the prospect of living on beans to reach a debt-free life as fast as possible, you want to make sure youre still maintaining a healthy balance between investing in your debt and investing in your future.
When setting a budget, its important to be realistic with yourself. Your budget should reflect your priorities, and that doesnt necessarily mean scraping by each month without giving yourself any spare cash for fun. Getting out of debt is not about sacrificing your life to pay your debt. Its about accepting your situation and building healthy financial habits centered on your values.

Sera Cahoone: Sounds Like Home
by Jeremy Petersen
Nov 20, 2012 (OPB)

Reported by
Jeremy Petersen
Sera Cahoone may have started her career as a drummer, but the Seattle musician has made a name for herself as a singer-songwriter. Her third album in the past five years, Deer Creek Canyon, often finds the Colorado native looking homeward (as the title track indicates) on a personal collection that also happens to be sweetly, soothingly tuneful. We recently joined Cahoone and her band during sound check before a performance at the Doug Fir in Portland.

Dan Wright will be the only returning member of the commission after being re-elected to his District 2 seat in a close race. Wright outlasted former Carbon Hill football coach Davey Reed by only 14 votes — 3.203 to 3,189.
While there was a question over the possibility that provisional votes could change the outcome, Walker County Circuit Clerk Susan Odom said there would not be enough provisional votes to make a difference.
Wright said he planned to continue the work he started during his first term.
"I just want to do all I can do. I'm going to work the same as I have over the last four years, and I'm going to continue to fight for District 2," Wright said. "I believe the new commission is going to work together and do what's best for Walker County."
Reed said he appreciated the support he received.
"It was a close race, but I came up just a little short," he said. "I'm sorry to the people who supported me that I didn't work hard enough to win. I wish Dan the best of luck in his second term."
Along with being the only incumbent, Wright is also the only Democrat remaining on the commission.
"I hope my winning shows that working hard means more than what party you are in," he said.
In District 1, Republican Keith Davis, a local real estate agent, was elected with 4,175 votes compared to his opponent Jason Akins' 3,769 votes.
"I'm humbled by the results and would like to thank everyone who voted for me," Davis said. "The people of Walker County wanted new leadership and new ideas, and I bring that to the table. I've enjoyed meeting the people of District 1 during this campaign, and I'm looking forward to serving them for the next four years."
Akins said he made a point to run a positive campaign and was thankful for the support he received.
"This isn't it for me," he said. "I will still find ways to serve the community that I love whether that's in politics or in other areas."
In District 4, Republican Steven Aderholt picked up 60 percent of the vote to defeat Democrat Otto Tolbert 3,896 to 3,018.
"I want to thank God, my family and the voters of District 4," Aderholt said. "This has been a five-year race for me and I'm thankful the voters decided to give me a chance. I'm ready to go to work on day one."
Tolbert, who is an employee at the District 4 shop, said he's ready to get back to work.
"I've enjoyed this campaign to the fullest," he said. "I'm very humbled and thankful to the people who went out to vote. My strategy was to get people to vote, and this was a big turnout."
Republican Bobby Nunnelley will take over the District 3 spot on the commission after picking up 3,767 votes compared to George Fitzpatrick's 2,723.
"I'm really surprised at the number of people who came out to vote," Nunnelley said. "I'm glad everybody had the confidence in me to vote for me."
Fitzpatrick, a Democrat, said he worked hard, but he felt the straight-ticket vote was too much to overcome.
"I think the straight-ticket vote was the difference," he said. "I feel like I did my best and I appreciate the support of the people who voted for me."

Quick & easy to make. I used cheddar instead of Colby. The sauce is a little strong so next time I will just serve it with less sauce.

A definite favourite at our house! I didn't have any Colby cheese on hand when I made it the first time so I used cheddar instead. I've made this many times and it's always good!

David Brown
Mention 'art' to the average person, and it'll conjure images of oil paintings in the national gallery, or century-old sculptures. Not many think of sound art, a creative phenomenon that is growing in popularity in Australia. But what exactly is sound art? Electroacoustic artist David Brown defines it as "the systematic organisation and transformation of visual and sonic phenomena that may include musical elements, random sounds, noise, light and field recordings through the use of formal procedures, improvisatory techniques, chance and studio practice."
"I'm predominately an instrumentalist," tells Brown. "As well as the prepared string instrument stuff that's approached with extended techniques, I perform on electric guitar with an array of stomp boxes. This is more about using the guitar and pickups as sonic generators and then manipulating the tones with the pedals."
And the weirdest thing he's ever used as an 'instrument' to make noise? A little something known as a 'ukelin', an obscure, tiny instrument originating from twenties America. "It's a 32-string instrument you can pluck or bow which crosses the Hawaiian ukulele with the violin and was originally used to play hymns, popular and folk tunes," Brown educates us.
Brown has been heavily involved in the Melbourne experimental art rock scene since the mid-seventies as a guitarist, but his solo sound art work under the guise of candlesnuffer is completely unrelated to conventional music. Prepare to have your expectations of conventional electroacoustic methods of noise turned on its side. "The endeavour is to systematically undo all the effects of musical indoctrination, even if only for myself." Brown paints his own music as "a world of tiny sounds enlarged outside their normal context to rival the volume and density of the loudest rock band."
Brown will be appearing at the upcoming sense-specific festival Liquid Architecture, a trailblazing series of sound events devoted to the experimental art form. The festival has seen the likes of the world's top sound artists, avant garde composers and experimental musicians over its twelve years, with names like Lionel Marchetti, Yoko Higashi, Asmus Tietchens and Jason Kahn appearing on line-ups.
"Liquid Architecture is a pioneering sound arts festival that has introduced Australian audiences to some of the most groundbreaking sonic conjurors," Brown gushes. "The festival has given me the opportunity to experience live performances by some of the gods of experimental and electroacoustic music. Personal highlights have been the multi-channel sound diffusion of French artist Bernard Parmegiani along with Pierre Bastien's mechanical orchestral and film performance. Liquid Architecture also premiered the high volume, tonal, violin sawing of American minimalist Tony Conrad in Australia."
For the curious, Liquid Architecture is featuring one of Brown's compositions on their website. "There are remnants of fucked up blues buried in it, played on prepared, fretless banjo," Brown explains his sonic offering A Film Over Horrible Shin (III-Jazz). "I adopted an approach were I accompany myself in a sort of blinded trial designed to extract surprising accompaniments from similarly prepared stringed instruments." The end result fuses "literary references with mundane artifacts while evoking everything from the Australian coastal world and outback to a bizarre take on psychedelia, along with stoicism, astronomy, melancholy waste, urban ordinariness and beer-drinking." Brown also lists a "naive fascination with Asian sounds" as an influence on the composition. "The driving impetus behind this self-accompaniment was to create impossible performance and sonic combinations."
Liquid Architecture runs until Saturday July 2 at venues around the Melbourne CBD and East Brunswick. Catch David Brown unveil his candlesnuffer solo project at the 3RRR Performance Space on Thursday June 30 at 7pm with Marc Behrens, Pascal Battus, Luka Simonis, James Rushford & Joe Talia.

The couple we were traveling with had never been on a cruise before, and I think they were very skeptical. They were a bit nervous as well. I am very happy to report that they loved it and will do it again. In fact, my friend just commented the other day that she could have used another sea day. Yep, she's a cruiser!!
There was such a feeling of excitement on board because of this being the inaugural cruise. I've decided that I'm going to be on the look-out for inaugural cruises so I can go on all of them! Everybody on board, including the crew, were festive and full of wonder as we sailed through such pristine land. It was so much fun watching the crew run out on board taking pictures of the scenery. It just added to the fun.
Tracy Arm, our second day at sea, was the highlight for me. I have never seen such beauty. We were surrounded by it. It was pristine. I felt like we were the first and only people to ever have been there. Seriously, it felt magical.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A student at Pleasure Ridge Park High School was arrested Tuesday afternoon after police say he threatened a school security officer.
It happened shortly before 2 p.m., according to the arrest report.
Police say 18-year-old Devin L. Finch got into a fight with another student. The fight was broken up by school staff, but Finch refused to calm down, according to the arrest report.
Police say he took off his shirt and chest-bumped a school security officer, saying, "What are you gonna do?" Finch continued to get into the security officer's face, according to police.
A Louisville Metro Police officer had to place Finch in handcuffs, police say.
He was charged with terroristic threatening, resisting arrest, third degree assault and menacing, according to the arrest report.

Beware of Lewisham's bogus trading standards officers
4:22pm Monday 11th February 2013 in News By Aaran Fronda
PEOPLE in Lewisham have been targeted by criminals posing as trading standards officers in an attempt to scam them out of money.
The imposters claim the courts have awarded damages to residents after builders carrying out work on their properties have been jailed.
To obtain their compensation, victims are asked to make a payment and given instructions on how to do so by the bogus officers.
Police urge people to take extra caution when dealing with unknown callers.
If someone calls at your home claiming to be from trading standards make sure your door remains locked until their identity is confirmed.
You can do so by ringing Lewisham Trading Standards on 020 8314 2288.
To confirm an officer's identity the public are encouraged to phone Lewisham police on 101.
If confronted with a bogus official or police officer please telephone 999 immediately.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Keion Bell scored 24 points and Jabari Brown added 23 to lead Missouri to a 90-68 win over South Carolina on Thursday night.
After shooting 67% (16 of 24) in the first half, the Tigers (20-8, 9-6 Southeastern Conference) made 12 of their first 13 shots from the field in the second half to go on a 31-13 run that ballooned a 7-point halftime lead into a 76-51 margin.
Missouri shot 69.6% (32 of 46) for the game, and plenty of those baskets were easy. The Tigers had 10 dunks and 46 points in the paint to pick up just their second win on the road this season.
Damien Leonard came off the bench to lead South Carolina (13-15, 3-12) with 20 points. The Gamecocks have lost 7 of their last eight games.

On the pitch, critical gameplay fundamentals have been enhanced to ensure that FIFA Soccer 10 mirrors real-world soccer, providing more sophisticated ball control, and physical interaction between players. In addition, players now move, behave and position themselves more realistically. On attack, players analyze space more effectively, curve their runs in an attempt to stay onside, create passing lanes naturally, and drive for more variety in attacking options. On defense, new concepts like position priority enable defenders to multitask so dangerous spaces left open by teammates out of position are covered. Plus, slide tackle targeting, press marking, and better-urgency clearance logic provide new options that make defending a tactical skill in FIFA Soccer 10. In goal, a myriad of improvements and refinements to goalkeeper intelligence result in a more responsive and powerful rushing system and ultra-realistic saves. Better balance on lofted through balls, improved goalkeeper intelligence, more realistic shooting mechanics with less shots hitting the goal posts, a practice arena to perfect skills, and a more immersive soccer experience through continuous play and quick free kicks are just a few of the issues raised by fans and addressed in FIFA Soccer 10. Three new innovations revealed today at E3 have been developed to change the player control experience in FIFA Soccer 10. The first-ever true 360 degree dribbling system gives players finer control of the ball, enabling them to find spaces between defenders that previously were not possible. Using an all-new animation technology, skilled dribblers now have the ability to face the defender and use highly responsive lateral dribbling to skip past him. An innovative concept called Freedom in Physical Play enables players to perform wider dribble touches and new collision sharing creates a varied, less predictable, and extended fight for possession between the dribbler and a defender.
FIFA Soccer 10 also features a deeper iteration of the ever-popular Manager Mode with more than 50 major improvements, including new match realism, realistic player transfers based on multiple decision points, and true-to-life player growth curves. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

FIFA 10 is all the best a football fan could imagine, you simply have to have it. The score is the right prize for a nearly perfect game that deserves the right prize for the work done in the last years that brought the average arcade game of the past, to the nearest thing to real football actually available. You'll stop playing FIFA 10 only when FIFA 11 will be on shelves. Great job EA, great job Moore, great job Rutter. You have to play it!
This is undoubtedly the best FIFA game ever made, and by far the most accurate virtual depiction of this magical sport.
But for all those FIFA fans who are annoyed at the dodgy AI and lack of real control in FIFA '09 – I think it's safe to say you won't be disappointed with this year's edition. Whether playing single player and pushing your team through tournaments or taking your personal 'Be a Pro' player online and making a name for yourself – there are hours upon hours of pure football brilliance here.
FIFA 10 is the reference for license-driven soccer. Intriguing gameplay, brilliant graphics and the huge amount of different modes are driving the series towards perfection.
FIFA 10 is a great all around game for any soccer fan. Of course, if you aren't a soccer fan you won't find much of any interest here.
In a way, the main reason I'm somewhat disappointed is that developer EA Canada has the tough part down: the gameplay and controls. But soccer is about so much more than that -- it's about patriotism, atmosphere, and passion. For the inevitable World Cup follow-up, I'd really like to see those elements shine through -- and it wouldn't hurt to not ship with so many bugs, either.

Oct 28, 2012I played nearly every FIFA game, also FIFA 13, and i must say that this is the best FIFA all time. But it don't gets 10 out of ten, because the online mode is not that kind I usual see in football games. When the opponent cancels the game, it'll not be counted. So there are only 9 points for a apart from that very good game, that searches for an equal.… Expand
Jan 21, 2013FIFA 10 is a great soccer videogame and very fun to play especially as a Virtual Pro in Pro Clubs online. The game's speed is way too high and it's very easy to pass and score but you still had full control over what's happening on the pitch and normally the best player wins and not always the luckiest. I give this game only a 7, because later there are/were many bugs and glitches that could be used online and destroyed the online experience in the last weeks until FIFA 11 came out. Also, that FIFA 10 is more an actual "Game" than a Simulation of realistic soccer and right now it's not very motivating anymore because the online servers were taken offline. And offline, FIFA 10 is almost useless.… Expand
Nov 19, 2013El Fifa 10 es bastante mejor que el 09, pero aun así deja muchísimo que desear, de todas formas, se nota la diferencia jugable respecto al PES2010, mas fluido y mas real, en los gráficos, es pésimo un año mas, mejora un poco..pero aun así...parecen de play 1, luego también esta el apartado de modo manager, apenas mejorado y muy tosco, un juego que no estaba a las alturas de las expectativas...al menos, esa es mi opinión.… Expand
Sep 8, 2010great game up to professional difficulty. after that the game becomes ridiculous. numerous apparent refereeing errors, (e.g. unfair distribution of cards) wierd team difficulties, ull find ur self losing to birmingham but smashing united and buggy too. the manager mode is atrocious. the whole game is poor. virtually unplayable with friends because the game will always give an unfair slant. still... better than pes.… Expand
