Neighbors worked together to help bury 14 race horses that died Wednesday afternoon in a barn fire.
The fire took over three hours to control, and only one horse survived. After being rescued from the blaze, the horse was left blind and severely burned.
Doctors suggested the best thing for the horse is to be put to sleep. Neighbor Wade Wood says he was first one to notice the fire, and immediately helped out.
"I come from a race horse family I was raised with horses all my life. Horses are a big part of my life and it hurts. Whether they're mine, they're yours, whomever when you see horses that need help, people want to help. I do," says Wood.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. The fire marshal says he will investigate the fire, as soon as the winds die down.

"Animation can move, stir emotions and inspire discussion just as successfully as any traditional live action film"
The Papers – Tärkeitä papereita (Finland, 2013)
Length: 10 min
Directed by: Kalle Kotila
Produced by: Las Palmas Films
Jarkko Martikainen's collection of short stories turned into a short film
Venturing into new and original animation technology, The Papers tells a visually stimulating story of neighbourly relations. The storyline mixes animation and real-life acting in a way similar to the critically acclaimed film Waltz with Bashir, among others.
Experiential and somewhat dark in humour, this short takes a slanted look at modern work routines and life in the office. We see two neighbours work in the same open-plan office. One loves order, the other is a hedonistic slacker. What happens when these two extreme opposites find themselves on a collision course, time after time?
"Finnish animation is now mainly known for children's films, and through the game industry. But the genre is very much on the up both here and elsewhere; animation can move, stir emotions and inspire discussion just as successfully as any traditional live action film," says the director, Kalle Kotila.
The Papers is based on a collection of short stories, Pitkät piikit ja muita kertomuksia (Like, 2005), written by Jarkko Martikainen, who is the front man for the Finnish band YUP. The score for the animation was written by Sam Shingler of the up and coming Finnish band, The Lieblings.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A former New Orleans police officer has appealed a judge's refusal to free him on bond while he awaits a retrial on charges he shot and killed a man without justification outside a strip mall in Hurricane Katrina's aftermath.
U.S. District Judge Lance Africk refused Wednesday to reconsider an earlier order denying David Warren's release. Warren's attorneys asked the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review Africk's decision.
Warren's attorneys argued he isn't a flight risk and doesn't pose a danger to the public. Warren was convicted of manslaughter for fatally shooting 31-year-old Henry Glover in 2005.
Another officer burned Glover's body in a car. But the 5th Circuit ordered a new trial for Warren, ruling he should have been tried separately from other officers charged in the case.

It's hard to imagine that Savatage could get any better than their 1995 album Dead Winter Dead, but when they released the Wake of Magellan in 1998 the band did just that.
Like Dead Winter Dead, the Wake of Magellan is a concept album, this time focusing on three seemingly unrelated stories. O'Neill and Oliva weave the three together, while the band makes the story come alive. This is easily Savatage's most epic and progressive album to date, as emphasized by everything from the powerful instrumental tracks to the intricate vocal layering. The Wake of Magellan is an album that recalls the very best of Iron Maiden, Rush, and Queen. This is also the Savatage album most likely to draw parallels with O'Neill and Oliva's highly successful Trans-Siberian Orchestra project.
Founding member Jon Oliva once again contributes vocals to this album. His voice is perfect on those tracks where a little extra aggression is required, and serves as a nice counterpoint to regular (but never ordinary) vocalist Zak Stevens. Sadly, this album is the last Savatage release to feature Stevens on vocals. He has since launched a solo project called Circle II Circle, which should definitely appeal to Savatage fans.
While the album was extremely strong from start to finish, there are some standout songs that rank among Savatage's best, including the title track, the Storm, the Hourglass, and Blackjack Guillotine. The beautiful instrumental tracks are just as impressive. There really isn't a weak moment on the whole album, which remains my all-time favorite Savatage release.
The only difficulty lies in choosing which version to get. The domestic version features three acoustic bonus tracks, but the similarly-priced SPV import might be the better option. It has not been remastered, but the 2002 SPV reissue does have a few extras that make it worthwhile. It features 2 additional tracks – This Is Where You Should Be and an acoustic version of Desiree. The real bonus is that the liner notes have been expanded to include several pages of very detailed information about the band during this particular stage of their career. When added to the chapters from the other SPV Savatage reissues, you'll get the real story behind one of the best (and most underrated) metal bands of all time.
Unfortunately, the SPV reissue does not contain the three acoustic bonus tracks from the regular version, so I have two copies of the Wake of Magellan on my shelf.

Welcome to Gramercy Communications, one of upstate New York's leading strategic communications firms.
Gramercy Communications is an opinion shaping company with clients who represent over $3 billion of economic activity. Our clients hire us because we are trusted advisors and strategic thinkers who take the time to understand their businesses and how communications can help them achieve their goals.
The field of communications is constantly changing with the world around us. To help our clients thrive in this environment, Gramercy Communications properly blends old-world abilities, like relationship building and understanding the needs of the newsroom, with the ever-changing technological advances affecting communications, like the swift evolution we've seen with social media.
Our company's corporate social responsibility efforts speak to the character and moral compass of our organization and employees. We believe in giving back because our good deeds and works improve the communities in which we live and work.
We'd welcome the opportunity to talk about your business or organizational needs!
The communications landscape has changed drastically over the past 10-15 years. Highlighted are social media and the ever-changing pace it places on the public relations profession. Nowhere can you disseminate information faster, more concisely and deliver an immediate impact better than with social media.
But with this power comes the burden of a hyper-quick attention span amongst audiences and the unpredictability of an open environment. That's why professionally managing the conversation is so important.
Content Creation: Social channels allow you to offer your content directly to audiences, whether they are industry segmented or public. Creating engaging content that will offer unique viewpoints or an interesting development from your company/brand is key.
Listen to Conversations: While using social media is effective in getting your message out, it's also an opportunity to listen to what's being said about your brand. Not only does it allow you to receive immediate feedback, it can be used for new dialogue for future PR and marketing opportunities. The opportunities to listen to feedback and create positive outcomes are a key attribute to brands that convert negative feedback/content.
Crisis Communications: Social media can play an immediate role in how and when situations are handled. The ability to answer the call for a crisis is readily available through social channels. Be prepared and offer opportunities to deliver answers when needed.
Monitor Outreach: Not only are your peers and consumers reviewing your social outreach, but so are media outlets. And reporters are keenly attuned to social media channels. Keep your content "top of mind" and use the opportunities to engage with the media, while keeping your messaging on point. The benefits are there to stay sharp and concise while continuing to affect attitudes towards your brand.
it's important to use social media to gather data, increase brand credibility and listen to conversations – http://t.co/5xRokDKqcz
— Mike Bohne (@Mike_Bohne) July 1, 2014
That's why it's essential to keep atop of the conversation and let a PR professional take the lead in controlling your vested interest in social media.
Smooth Sailing – Ensuring Your Story Gets Told
Telling a story the right way is like taking your audience on a journey. It might be filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, but in the end, proper planning makes sure your trip is filled with smooth sailing.
My journey started like this: Gramercy Communications, a firm I had long admired and respected, decided to make an addition to their team. Always one to utilize social media to reach a wide audience, they posted this announcement on Twitter. A journalist for the past five years, I was accustomed to constantly scouring Twitter for breaking news, and this was major breaking news.
That seemed like a perfect match, and less than 24 hours later and with bated breath, I submitted my resume. On April 21st, my career launched in a new, uncharted direction as I officially became the Public Relations Manager for Gramercy Communications.
Being a former journalist – fresh to navigating the high seas of public relations - I've quickly learned that knowing where to steer the ship once it sets sail is vital, but knowing who makes up the ship's crew is even more important.
As a Public Relations Manager, it is my job to understand that I am doing much more than just disseminating information. I'm responsible for finding a way to ensure that my information floats to the top and grabs attention, and doesn't get snagged in the net of mass communication overload. The best way to do that? Tell a story.
When organizing a media event, it is important to remember one thing: you need a character, the anchor that keeps your message from setting adrift.
Examine the second word in my title – relations. Find someone associated with your event that people can RELATE to; someone who adds an engaging, compelling and humanizing component. Now, tell your story through your character's eyes and in a way that will emotionally connect your audience to your message. That's when people will listen and that's how you can ensure your story makes waves.
Gramercy Sponsored Education Poll Makes Headlines
As many of you saw Sunday, the Times Union and Siena Research Institute released the first in a series of polls sponsored by Gramercy Communications. This initial installment of the poll, "How We Live: The Fabric of Upstate Life," focused on New York State education issues, and more than 800 upstate New Yorkers shared their thoughts and opinions.
The data from the poll produced a range of thoughtful coverage. From television news stations and newspapers across upstate and downstate to nationwide news services, the poll generated coverage all across the Empire State and beyond. News of the poll reached outlets in San Francisco, and all points in between.
We are encouraged by the vast interest in the poll, and look forward to exploring other topics upstate New Yorkers care about. Please click the links below to view a sample of the coverage.
Gramercy Communications is proud to announce the release of a new poll: The Times Union/Siena College Upstate Education Poll. Sponsored exclusively by Gramercy Communications, this is the first in a new series called "How We Live: The Fabric of Upstate Life." The poll, released in today's Times Union newspaper, takes an in-depth look at the attitudes and opinions of upstate New Yorkers on public education. More than 800 upstate residents discussed their thoughts on public education issues, including the Common Core, standardized testing, teacher evaluations, the quality and cost of education and problems facing the education system today.
A poll that focuses exclusively on upstate is a groundbreaking effort, and our firm is honored to be a part of this worthy endeavor.
In addition, WMHT is producing a program discussing the findings from the education poll. Stay tuned for details about the production, including how to participate as an audience member.
"The Gramercy team takes great pride in living and doing business in upstate New York," said Tom Nardacci, President and Founder of Gramercy Communications. "As a strategic communications firm, we want to have an acute understanding of what issues are important to the residents of the Capital Region and beyond. We are proud to sponsor this poll, which provides valuable insight on Upstate New York-centric topics, many of which are being wholly explored in detail for the first time."
"While not every Upstater we spoke with works in education nor even has a child in school today, everyone seems to have strong opinions about public education," according to Dr. Don Levy, SRI's Director. "Less than half grade the overall quality of education as good or excellent, and fewer than a third think that the education children are receiving in New York today is better than they received as a child."

Does Klout Kount?
To some folks, Klout is shrouded in a mystery similar to Google's algorithms that sort the order of search results.
Klout uses an algorithm to determine if you've got "Klout," and gives you a numerical value on a scale of zero to 100 that is supposed to indicate just how influential you are across the social media landscape. It was originally designed as a tool to help social media users become more effective with engagement, but since its inception, the tool has morphed and now has evolved into a content creation and sharing platform.
Like any ranking system, users have become focused on how to raise their Klout score. Most Klout users check in at least a few times a week to see if their ranking has risen. Once you get started, raising one's Klout can become a consuming goal. The next thing you know, you're posting pictures of your cat just because you know people will like it or comment on Facebook.
Overall though, what does a Klout score mean, and is it an effective measure of your reach? You'll have to try it out for yourself.
On Klout http://t.co/mtb6RBLwQe score is on the rise.
— Mike Bohne (@Mike_Bohne) May 21, 2014
How Klout Works
Klout works by taking and scoring all of your social accounts, from Twitter and Facebook to Google+, Foursquare and LinkedIn. It then grades you and your engagement with others and calculates a score for you.
What's new with Klout is its "Create" function, which has put the service into the news feed arena. It lists the themes you could be influential in and wants you to share content to others in your Klout network and beyond with the thought that sharing these items will help raise your Klout score as well.
However, it's really about engagement if you want to master it. Just broadcasting out your Facebook or LinkedIn updates or re-tweeting industry articles is not going to help increase your score. Klout determines your score by how well you engage with others, and it's not about how many followers you have; it's the likes, comments and re-tweets that really matter.
To be successful and achieve a high Klout score, you need to really invest some time into the platform. Make sure you have connected the right networks. Building influence is about trust, so you want to present yourself as trustworthy as well as bring relevant and unique information and content to the table. Don't forget to engage — this means comment, like, and create a conversation. When influencers and thought leaders start re-tweeting you and referencing you in their posts, that's when your score really starts to rise.
Utilizing Twitter's New Layout For Marketing
Recent changes to Twitter's new in-browser layout include larger images, reformatted navigation and an interface experience that mirrors the Facebook newsfeed design. The revamp is requiring everyone step up their visual game, brands in particular. What are the biggest changes that come with the new Twitter design? Here's what you need to know for marketing your brand.
1. Larger Photos
The top of your profile page is now dedicated to a large cover photo (the dimensions are 1500 pixels by 500 pixels, to be exact) in addition to your smaller profile photo. All tweeted photos now appear larger in the newsfeed automatically, too. The background themes and photo options are no longer available with the new design, which leaves only you only two photo opportunities to brand your page. Make them count by using images that are both engaging and emblematic of your brand!
2. Larger Tweets Capture What's Trending
All of the tweets in the feed are larger at a size 13 font, but the most popular tweets (those with more retweets or favorites) are oversized at a size 22.5 font. Any tweet without any form of engagement is shown significantly smaller, making content quality even more important.
3. Sort Tweets By Type
Users can now sort out content by type Tweets, Photos/Videos (including Vines), Following, Followers and Favorites.
4. We're Pinning Up Tweets Now
When you have a great tweet that you want to have more exposure (like this awesome blog post) the tweet can be "pinned" to remain at the top of your page. The action is similar to Facebook's "Pin to Top" option, which keeps a post at the top of the page for a week.
As a marketer for your brand, keep these four key points top of mind when using the new interface, and especially remember that visuals are playing a much larger role on Twitter. With these changes, quality of content becomes even more critical when it comes to capturing the attention of your audience.

Life after Patch: The New Hyperlocal Paradigm
It's a dispiriting scene these days for what many in the media business hoped would be the savior of the news industry: hyperlocal digital journalism.
AOL's ambitious Patch.com project has been in freefall for some time, and the general consensus is it will either be shuttered or rebranded into a kittens and "news of the weird" video service soon.
More recently, Digital First media announced it would shutter its "Thunderdome" newsroom that was aimed at freeing up journalists in the company's more than 100 newsrooms to chase local content.
People want local news. They want to consume it digitally. So where are these efforts failing?
Part of the story is economics and the size of the markets fueling these endeavors. A late-2013 report by Borrell Associates found small business owners planned to spend just 12 percent of their digital advertising budgets on banner advertising, sponsorships and classifieds, which are significant revenue streams for local-targeted media.
Even worse for these media, the study found these business owners planned to spend more than half of their entire marketing budgets on owned channels (their own websites, email marketing and social media). The fact many of these can be geo-targeted, long a major advantage of local publications, does not help matters.
At the same time, there has been success. Among them are The Daily Voice, an online conglomeration of reporters reporting on news in Connecticut and downstate New York. The Curbed DC network of sites did much the same in the nation's capital (and was acquired by Vox Media for $20 to $30 million as a result).
These facts lead to a clear conclusion: hyperlocal digital is viable, but it's yet to be shown it is scalable.
The success stories are small, nimble and most importantly, embedded in their communities. Conversely, the Patch model aims to be an all-encompassing umbrella, directing its model to where AOL feels the market will support it.
This market is made for the nimble startup, not the nationwide gorillas. Patch's predicament isn't a knock on hyperlocal journalism. It's an indicator that a national square peg can't fit into a local round hole. Don't count this movement as dead just yet.
Using Selfies To Your #Advantage
You might have noticed this "selfie" thing is catching on out there; millions upon millions of these were taken and uploaded to social media using smartphones in 2013, and I don't think it's stopping anytime soon. The Oxford Dictionaries even named "selfie" the 2013 word of the year. According to the Pew Research Center, more than half (55%) of millennials have posted at least one on social media. In total, more than a quarter of the American population as a whole has shared a selfie at some point in time.
Selfies are embedded in popular culture right now. Celebrities are using them as a form of self-promotion, but now corporate brands are beginning to ask themselves how they can capitalize on the trend. For example, Turkish Airlines is a brand that leveraged selfies as part of an integrated social media campaign. Selfies are commonly utilized on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, however the airline took the trend to another level, creating this YouTube skit here.
Then you have Dunkin' Donuts, which used the phenomena for showcasing its products. Each of its social media "Fan of the Week" submissions has its cup glaringly featured. If you're loyal to the brand and you love it, why not take your picture with it? Dunkin' Donuts utilizes Facebook as part of each selfie campaign, but then takes it to the next level on Twitter with its #mydunkin hashtag.
Selfies have risen in popularity, and right now is the time to strike if you do plan on capitalizing on the trend. Brands big and small can reap some of the benefits, it just takes some creativity and the appropriate social media channels. I don't plan on taking one anytime soon, but as a brand, selfies are worth exploring as part of your next campaign or social media strategy.
Lessons from Little League: Making your messages more effective
The last two springs, I have been fortunate enough to coach a little league baseball team with some of my closest friends. The experience has been nothing short of amazing. Teaching these future baseball stars a game I love and seeing their excitement as they learn the game is truly incredible.
I've quickly found out, however, that the kids aren't the only ones learning something throughout this experience.
As a communications professional, I pride myself on the ability to effectively get my key messages across no matter the situation. I thought this skill would be easily transferable to the diamond and that I would have no trouble communicating lessons to my players.
I soon saw how very wrong this thinking was. The first few times out on the field, I found myself over-explaining the drills and getting so bogged down in the details of each that by the end of my explanation, the poor kids had no idea what I was talking about (or what they were supposed to do).
I realized that I needed to simplify what I wanted to say into a very clear and concise directive if I expected the kids to understand and act on what I was trying to teach them.
Off of the field, this realization got me thinking about my professional interactions. Was I overcomplicating my intended messages? Shouldn't my level of communication always be clear and concise, no matter the age of the audience?
Most effective messages can, and should, be conveyed in no more than 10 seconds. You have to take advantage of short attention spans if you want individuals to remember what you're trying to say. If you find yourself taking longer than 10 seconds, then you're using too many words. It is also possible you don't have a clear enough picture of what you were trying to say in the first place.
So the next time you're preparing for an interview or a presentation, try and keep in mind this lesson I learned from a bunch of little league baseball players. You'll be glad you did.
Redeveloping Our Region's Riverfronts: The Hudson & Mohawk Rivers
Yesterday, I was pleased to join U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer in Troy as he talked about his efforts to secure critical FEMA funding to repair Downtown Troy's 90+ year-old seawall, an issue the City has been aggressively pursuing. Our company, Gramercy Communications is particularly interested and invested in waterfront development.
We moved our headquarters to Troy two years ago so that we could be directly on the riverfront, and we have sought out clients who are committed to the water and development along our rivers. Last summer, I volunteered my time to help jumpstart the Troy Marina & Docks that had sat idle since Hurricane Irene in 2011. This experience gave me a close-up view of how important it is to invest in waterfront infrastructure right now.
Our region will always be judged by how awesome or inadequate our waterfront is. When we go to other cities or regions on the water, we size up how great they are in a few minutes by looking at how they treat the water. The Hudson River and Mohawk River present incredible opportunities to boost the vitality of our downtowns, and in turn, the region as whole. We are lucky to have many talented individuals committed to bringing a mix of uses to our historic rivers, and our company is glad to play a role in stimulating, participating in or promoting these works and successes.
If you share the passion and want to talk to us about ideas you may have for our region's waterways, drop me a note or give me a call.

News: The Game Re-Loaded For Jay-Z Rap Battle, "This Is Nothing Like The G-Unit Beef" [Audio]
Monday, Jul 13, 2009 12:12AM
The Game has responded to the public's mixed reactions towards his unexpected rap war against Jay-Z and explained why his latest rival is incapable of being compared to G-Unit.
Speaking via his Twitter, Game also addressed dissing Beyonce last week and why his attacks are part of a chess-like strategy.
"I ALWAYS FELT I WAS GOOD ENUFF 2 GO BAR 4 BAR @ JAY IN A "LYRICAL BEEF" JUST DIDN'T THINK HE'D OPEN THE FLOOD GATES," he wrote Saturday (July 11). "W8'n 4 HIS RESPONSE...SEE, Y'ALL GOT IT CONFUSED. THIS IS NOTHING LIKE THE G-UNIT BEEF. THAT ONE WAS WON IN THE STREETS AS WELL AS THE MIXTAPES ! "300 BARS" LIVES...THIS BEEF IS A HIP HOP "CHESS MOVE". STRICTLY A LYRICAL WAR ! DON'T MAKE IT MORE THAN WHAT IT IS... THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE WILL SOON SEE !! AS 4 THE BEYONCE DIS, I WAS FREESTYLIN' & SHE GOT HIT. 4 THOSE DEFENDIN JAY ASKIN Y ? AINT JAY DA N*GGA WHO SAID HE CAME ON NAS's BABY SEAT HE CAME OUT HIS MOUTH 2 SAY "GAME" & JUST LIKE ANY N*GGA WIT ENUFF SKILLS 2 LOCK IN, I "LOCKED IN" ! IM SO WAAAAVY AINT SH*T BUT A STATEMENT IF & WHEN HE RESPONDS... I "WILL" BE LOCKED & LOADED !!!" (The Game's Twitter)
He released "I'm So Wavy" attacking both Jay and Kanye West associate Amber Rose over the weekend.
"N*ggas pop tags, I pop the 4-5," Game raps. "N*ggas got swag, I got the tech nine...Yeah, you got cheese and I kill rats/Translation, I still trap/Now do something with that, or respond to this/And with those big a** lips, you got my name in your mouth I hope it taste like uhhh, no homo, one more time/uhhh, that's your promo/And I been hard to the core since I went solo/Only man on my horse like my all black polo...Got the camel in a choke hold/Tryin' to son me, I'm not from N-Y-C/You can't even have a child by your Destiny/And I ain't mean to take a shot at B, I blacked out like you did Free...Too hardcore to be a Jay-Z/Rock more red than Weezy, Baby...And this ain't a diss, I was just out in L.A. with Dra[ke], b*tch...That's Ye's brother so I'ma give him some advice, get rid of Amber Rose/I know how she get down, I was at Diddy's after party/Sippin' on the Cris, she was whispering to Chris, Brown/Then Chris turned his head like 'No'/Then 'Gold Digger' came on, I pointed out like 'H*e'/And this ain't about her, this about Hov/I'm about to drop down the Roc and take it to the stove." ("I'm So Wavy")
The Black Wall Street leader also dropped his "Death of Jay-Z" freestyle last week in Spain.
"I know y'all been hearing about the controversy between with me and Jay-Z, right," Game asked a crowd in Spain. "So I'ma start it off like this, f*ck Jay-Z! That's how Pac felt. That's how Nas felt at one time and that's how I feel...This ain't about B/This ain't about Destiny...You got a bad b*tch, word, ain't no p*ssy like hers/Just ask the Mavericks, Cowboys and the Spurs/I mean, my b*tch don't sling p*ssy like that/My b*tch sling p*ssy on a n*gga from the back, back, back/Black Wall Street, that's the game I bang/And I'm in Mahdrid, Spain...It go one, two, I'm back for more/Guess who's coming through the motherf*cking door/Spittin' more sh*t than a Crip/N*ggas know Game back on his sh*t." (TayDoe TV)
His issues with Jigga stem from the rapper's Las Vegas freestyle earlier this month where Hov name dropped past associates Jim Jones, Jaz-O and Damon Dash.
"For what people be talking about all the time," Jay raps on-stage. "Are we talking about fiction or are we talking about fact/You talking about fiction, hold up, pardon my back/I'm talking about life and all I hear is/Oh yeah he's talking about cripe/I ain't talking about profit, I'm talking about pain/Talking about the city, talking about shame/I ain't talkin' about gossip, I ain't talkin' 'bout Game/I ain't talkin' about Jimmy, I ain't talkin' about Dame/I'm talkin' about real sh*t, this here is pain/Whatcha talkin' about, I don't know what y'all saying/Dudes keep talkin' about/'Hov take it back'/I'm doing better than before, why would I do that...People trying to re-write history let's talk about that/Dame made millions, even Jaz made some scraps/He could have made more but he ain't sign his contract."

Over the past several weeks I've been working on some content I'm excited to finally share with you through a series of blog posts. This series will introduce you to Windows 8 development from an Android developer's perspective. Through the course of the series you'll create your first app. It won't be anything pretty, but you'll learn the ins and outs of the development environment, how to create a simple user interface, and how to perform navigation. Along the way you'll see some Android Hints that will help make it easier for you to transition your existing skills to the Windows platform. You'll also see some Visual Studio Tips to make you more productive in your development environment. Good luck!
Your first task when it comes to Windows 8 development is getting your development environment up and running. It's a three step process:
Install Windows 8
You can't create Windows Store apps on anything but Windows 8. You have several options. If you're running a Windows 7 machine, you can either upgrade your existing install, create a separate partition for you Windows 8 install, or create a bootable vhd with Windows 8. If you're running Max OS X you can use Boot Camp to create a Windows 8 partition for dual booting, or you can use software like Parallels to run a Windows 8 VM inside of OS X. On a Mac I prefer Parallels as it allows me to easily move back and forth between a Windows and Mac environment. If you go down this road make sure you have plenty of RAM on your machine. My MacBook Air has 8 GB of RAM and it works well for me.
Install Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8
Download and install Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 from http://aka.ms/getvs12now. Visual Studio is the IDE, similar to Eclipse, that you'll use for creating Windows Store applications. Please note, there are a five Visual Studio Express products available. Make sure you download and install the one specifically for Windows 8.
There are two options for installation, a web installer and a disk image. A description of each is below, choose the one that works best for you:
- Web Installer – this is a small initial download that will download the necessary components during the installation process. Download at http://bit.ly/XLyHZ5.
- Disk Image (iso) – This is the full installer, no additional downloads are required. Download at http://bit.ly/YdGiz4.
Get a developer license for Windows 8
A developer license lets you install, develop, test, and evaluate Windows Store apps before the Windows Store tests and certifies them. Licenses are free, acquisition is automatic and you can acquire as many as you need. You will need a Microsoft account to obtain your developer license. You can read more about Microsoft accounts and sign up for one, if you don't already have one, at http://bit.ly/Nt0efj. Getting the license is easy. The first time you run Visual Studio 2012 on your development machine you will be prompted to obtain a developer license. Developer licenses expire every 30 days, and Visual Studio will prompt you to renew your developer license if it has expired.
That's it! You're good to go. In the next lesson you'll learn how to create your first Windows Store project.

As a climber and someone who (I assume) likes to be outdoors why do you choose to live in the Northeast? This isn't meant to be a question of what is better (East vs. West), but more of an insight into what everyone enjoys, and doesn't enjoy, about living here since it's something that I've been thinking about for the past few years. I live here because: This is where I've lived since I was in middle school, I have a good paying job, the cost of living is relatively low, traffic isn't that bad, my family is here, my wife knows a lot of people in her field and has a good chance of getting a good paying job, there are a number of great climbing locations under 3 hours away, there are a lot of places to go hiking, swimming in the lakes and rivers is awesome. I'm tempted to move out West (possibly CO) because: That's where I lived before I moved here, they get more sun, the winter isn't as cold, there are more options for climbing, black flies aren't an issue (not 100% sure how accurate this is, or if there is something similar), most of the places that I want to visit are out west (I could make them extended weekend trips and drive to these places), I could be close to a large city and still have my choice of outdoor activities. Again, this isn't meant to be an East vs. West post, but rather me thinking out loud, getting some feedback, and hearing everyone else's reasons for living here. Thanks in advance for your response!
You are correct that black flies are not an issue here in CO. We have Mosquitos but not bad at all compared to a lot of places.
#1. Family #2. Job Ive traveled around the country and spent extended amounts of time in different regions, but Ive always come back east. I could live out west for a couple of years to explore but my home is the Northeast.
Same here basically.. #1 - Family is all within the Northeast from NJ to Upstate NY #2 - I have been at my current job for 11 years, and while I dont have an incredible salary, I have good benefits, a retirement plan, and a pretty good schedule and a generally understanding boss when it comes to taking time off. I also own a small masonry construction business on the side and own lots of equipment and small machinery. It would be difficult to move my business, or expensive anyway. #3 - I do enjoy the Northeast, especially in the fall and winter. I also enjoy being within driving distance from the coast, or the middle of nowhere. I have thought about moving out west, and thought I may be happier. But its really hard to say. My lifestyle leans towards places out west, but I would miss having family around. Plus, friends out in Colorado have had an extremely difficult time finding good reliable work. Thats what makes me the most uneasy about moving out there.
Thanks for the good responses!
Especially after leaving a solid job I had been at for 11 years, and a business that ive owned for 4 years. HOWEVER, I also dont feel like living in Northern NJ anymore. Im just in a holding pattern right now while I figure some stuff out. Im waiting for a certain someone. If it doesn't pan out, I'll figure it out from there. The only thing holding me in this specific location however is work. I wouldnt mind moving north somewhere. Still be able to visit family for holidays and such. But New Paltz and the surrounding area has been on my mind lately.
I've lived in the mid-Atlantic, Vermont, and California, and have spent significant chunks of time, both working and traveling, in UT, CO, WY, NV, WA, BC, etc. I'm moving to CO in a few months. I like both the East and the West (of the US, that is). No, actually; I like PARTS of the East and PARTS of the West. When living on one side of the country, it is easy, and wildly inaccurate, to paint the other half with a very broad brush. I have met westerners who think that all of the east is one big flat, sprawling, rude, polluted New Jersey. I have met easterners who think that all of the west is one big magical Estes Park-like wonderland. Looking at the country as 3 regions (east, west, and flyover) is not adequate resolution. The east has some wonderful areas and some areas that really suck; same is true of the west. So, I can't give a good answer for why someone (such as myself) would live in the East. There are many parts of the east that are not pleasant places to live (as a climber, that is). Much of the Mid-Atlantic megalopolis is a terrible place to be a climber. Chilly, damp winter; hot, humid summers; long distance to any good climbing; no real mountains or wide-open space; rain; pollution; too many people; high-strung careerists; etc. I grew up in Maryland, and left as soon as I could. I can give a very good reason for why I enjoyed living in northern New England. I lived in Vermont for a while, left, and am now back for the spring. It is a really nice place to live (landscape, culture, etc), and it also has great outdoors offerings. The landscape is beautiful, the towns are pleasant and livable, and the culture is a unique blend of traditional and progressive, which I find that I really like. I really like the people here; they have a lot of substance to them. There is also great access to a variety of outdoors activities. The mountains are smaller than in the west, but they have a lot to offer. The climbing is excellent. The scale of the landscape is smaller, so things are usually fairly nearby. The landscape is lush and green, and the forest is beautiful. The seasons vary, providing endless variety in weather and activities. You can climb year-round, so long as you like ice climbing. It feels like home. I will admit that New England is not the best place to be if climbing is your only focus. In the west, there are bigger mountains, better weather, and more variety in rock and landscape. I have lived in the West for 2 years now (except for this spring), and will be continue to live in the West for a while. Still, northern New England (and other parts of the East) is a great place to live for a variety of reasons, and the availability of climbing is only one of them.
Two words: grad school Two more: wife's career
I live in the NE because my wife won't move to AK. Actually, she won't move anywhere. I just have to remind her of that when I take my yearly vacation to go out west. We both have good jobs, but I would much rather live somewhere else and have a crappy job.
I was born in Upstate New York (Rochester) and went to college in Virginia. I've been up and down the east coast and have done lots of hiking, canoeing and camping, but not much climbing over there. I love the feel of the Adirondacks and the Blue Ridge mountains, and I've heard there are wonderful climbing nooks scattered throughout these parts. When I turned 22 I moved to Madison, Wisconsin for two years. Without Devil's Lake, this would have been a miserable time. Even so, I still had to leave as soon as work allowed. Next for me was California. I fell in love with Cali on business trips that I had taken from Wisconsin. I still remember that feeling on the first few trips where Cali was like an entirely different world to me. Joshua Tree was an alien landscape (I'd never even seen a desert before). And my first drive up the General's Highway in Sequoia in March was absolutely mindblowing. The Great Western Divide left an imprint for sure. Now, I've been living up and down the West Coast for the past seven years. I'm presently in Portland, OR. I will never live back on the East Coast, especially in the cities, but I do relate to people who find the traditional beauty of the East more to their liking. For me, at my present place in life, the grandiose nature of the West is still alluring, and I am still discovering amazing places unlike anywhere else (Canyonlands and Arches were the two most recent, and I look forward to the Grand Tetons). On top of this, I find the sort of people I've been meeting in Portland and the Bay Area to be more to my liking. I had much more trouble making friends in LA. It's hard to feel like part of a community in the midst of such sprawl. Anyway, this country is massive and beautiful, and I feel blessed to have the freedom to explore it.
I have lived out west and here in the east and I can honestly say for me I feel like I'm an east coaster that happened to live in California for a few years. Every person I met out west could tell within minutes of meeting me I was not from there and I truly never felt at home there eaither. Don't get me wrong I lived about 30 minutes from Yosemite and it was awsome, but just not home. The Adirondacks feel like home to me it's a whole different experience than out west. My brother on the other hand LOVES Denver and says he dosen't think he'll ever move home. So I guess my point is that each place offers such awsome things it really boils down to where you personally feel at home, because home is more than mountains,weather, and cliff. It's a feeling. P.S.the northeast is not to shabby for that climbing thing we all do eaither. Pooler
I don't live in the NE, but I grew up in N. Carolina and took more than one long road trip up to the NE. I think it's the only other part of the US that I would like to live. When I say live, I mean LIVE, not hang out and work at a bar for a few months like I have in most every region of the US. The reason I like the NE is the same as the SE. People are real, and tell you how it is. They are honest and kind enough, but they don't take any bullshit and don't give any out either. What you see is what you get. I don't find that this is quite the same in the West. ANd maybe that is why some people DON'T like the NE, because of the brutal honesty. But for me, that is the real world and it is what I want around me. Also, my family is here, my heart is in the NC mountians. Cost of living is cheaper, things aren't a billion miles apart from each other, and the cities have much more soul than most of the metro areas out west. From a climbing stand point, the rock quality is better in the east and crags are MUCH MUCH less crowded. I also find that you run into less bumblies and know-it-all douchebags in teh east than you do in the west. I'm obviously biased. I like the old school ethics that we have in the east. From the Dacks and the Gunks to NC to the trad in the far souteast, the climbing here is real, and you must have some idea of how to place gear to climb at most areas. The west obviosly has dozens of areas with the same feel, but I have been to A LOT of sport areas out west that would have been left to natural gear if there were in east. You can't argue with the big beautiful mountains out west and the sheer amount and variety of climbing. THe consistant weather and the amount of climbers means more climbing days per year than in the east. As I have said before, I do not choose where to live based on climbing. If I did I would probably live in Boulder or Bishop or Moab, etc. There is more to my life than pulling on rocks... a lot more. I choose where to live based on many other things and then dive in head first to whatever climbing happens to be close by. I suppose that makes me different than many people on this website, but it's what makes me happy.
Grew up in SLC and moved to NJ in 2006. These are some of the things that brought/keep me here: 1) My wife was in grad school in NJ when I met her 2) Finishing up a doctorate within the next year myself 3) Lots of my extended family live in NJ 4) Cities nearby chock full of history, people, food, arts, music, culture 5) Gunks, ADKs 6) Diabase bouldering! 7) Awesome ice and mixed climbing an hours drive away 8) Surfing! 9) Small freestone streams with wild trout 10) Cheaper flights to Europe = more $ to spend on french wine or belgian beers While I've never regretted moving out to the Northeast, I do miss the mountains, weather, snow, and frontier spirit of the West. And the stars are only faintly visible here. Guess that means I'm moving back westward next year...
I agree with everything Ryan Williams wrote. I've been around, lived in Tahoe for several years, and I'm back in the East. I would rather climb and explore in the dacks than any other place I've visited out West--it's real, it's honest, I like the ethic, substance over style, and it feels right for me. That not to say I don't miss the grandiose wild places of the West--of course I do--but I just belong here at this point in my life. Part of me is nervous to leave Vermont for my job in Albany this summer, but I keeping find reasons to believe that I will find what I'm looking for there as well.
1.) Grew up here 2.) Go to school here 3.) the Dacks are amazing, and we're close to NH, ME, and not terribly far from awesome beaches of NC Also Eric, I live in Albany. If you ever want a climbing partner lemme know. I'm pretty familiar with the 'Dacks and really wanna check out some of the southern stuff this summer
I have no idea why a climber would live in most of the NorthEast, instead of somewhere out west or in Europe. The greater New York City is region is different, and I'll gladly speak for that -- above all ...
I also agree with everything what Ryan William stated. After years of living in NYC, I found myself in a small town in SW Colorado, which I love. But there are a few things about NE that are better than here in my opinion: 1. No BS - in the NE people are generally more considerate when it comes to other people's time so if they won't/can't make the appointment/date/meeting/climbing they are most likely to let you know and reasonably in advance. 2. Business ethics - I'm baffled at the way businesses mark up MSRPs (here or Moab). The excuse is always "it's tough to make money in a small market". Locals are less likely to spend much money, so the price-gauging is targeted towards tourists. While, I'm a big proponent of shopping local, this turns me off so I try to find better deals elsewhere. My question is would a business rather make 20% profit margin instead of 40% or just loose a customer altogether and make zero profit margin? 3. Work ethics - many times I've heard "climbers are not reliable" around here when I questioned why gear shops don't employ climbers who know their shit. Climbers or non-climbers, people in the NE tend to have stronger work ethics. 4. Climbing is more varied in NE, IMO (unless you live on Colorado Front Range). I've met more one-dimensional climbers here who are only good in one style of climbing than back East. 5. Grades/weather/elements/ethics that keep you honest. 6. Low avy danger. 7. Food and art/theater/culture. Nuff said.
Funny how perspectives influence peoples opinions or maybe it is just a matter of small sample sizes. Also, I don't think it is fair to compare the NE to all of out west. Colorado, Utah, California, and the PNW are all very different from a cultural and climbing standpoint. I live the northeast because at the moment it presents career opportunities that do not exist in Utah, Cali, or Washington. Which would be my preferred locations next to the northeast. My favorite thing about living here is the variety of rock with quality routes. Within a couple hours drive you can climb on granite, schist, gnesis, quartz, and several other types of rock. The reasons for not living here would be the weather and complete lack of real mountains. Props if you can routinely fly to France and pull of hard alpine routes in a 3 day weekend to get your mountain fix. I'm not motivated enough or risk reward level seems to high for me to attempt...
Masochism. har, har. But in all seriousness- 1) The little lady 2) Sailing

Bullet dodged.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones defended his 205-pound strap against Vitor Belfort at the UFC 152 pay-per-view (PPV) event last Saturday night (Sept. 22, 2012) from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
But the fight was not without its drama.
That's because "Bones" nearly broke when "The Phenom" locked up a powerful first-round armbar that had the champ grimacing in pain. Jones was able to power his way out, but the damage was done.
Coach Greg Jackson tells Sherdog.com the extent of his pupil's injuries.
"It didn't dislocate or anything. I'm sure it's just strained, and maybe a bursa sac or two went out, but I don't think it's going to be anything major. We had trained for the armbars. Vitor's really, really good at it and was able to lock it on before Jon could really get his counter in. It was incredibly quick, and that's a testament to Vitor's skill. We had watched him and trained for it, but he was fast. He caught Jon, and Jon was able to work out of it, but yeah, it was very impressive that we were ready for it and [Belfort] still got it."
Jones was suspended indefinitely by the Ontario Athletic Commission but is expected to resume training on schedule pending a doctor's clearance. Belfort was also benched for suffering a cut (thanks to his opponent's elbow) above his eye.
See how it all unfolded here.
How about it Maniacs, did Belfort's surprise armbar lead you to believe the champ is not as invincible as we may have thought? Or was his escape and eventual win all the proof we need?

Oct. 13: Rape — A woman on Palmetto Trace in Hinesville reported being sexually assaulted while at a house party on Plantation Road. The woman said she drank several beers and a mixed drink then went to a bedroom in the back of the house to lie down. She said she fell asleep and later woke to find a man she knew from the party assaulting her. She said she screamed and several people came into the room. Another party guest hit the alleged aggressor in the face. The woman later admitted hitting him herself. The man told the woman and the investigating deputy that the woman indicated she wanted to have sex with him earlier that evening. The woman said she did not want to press charges and signed a "declination of prosecution" form.
Nov. 6
Theft by taking – misdemeanor; criminal trespass — A deputy was dispatched to the county recycling center on Pate Rogers Road in reference to a theft of aluminum cans. An employee told the LCSO that someone apparently had cut the lock off the receptacle that holds the cans and took all the cans.
Nov. 7
Possession of a Schedule III controlled substance; speeding — A Hinesville woman was stopped for speeding. She was driving 60 mph in 45 mph zone. The deputy who initiated the stop said the woman appeared to be nervous and was shaking. He asked whether she had any weapons or drugs in the vehicle. The woman avoided the question, according to the LCSO report. She gave the deputy permission to search her vehicle. The deputy, who was assisted in the vehicle search by a Walthourville police officer, found a clear plastic bag containing a white, chunky material that appeared to be cocaine. The bag was in the ashtray near the driver's side. The woman told deputies she didn't know where the bag came from. She said she borrowed the vehicle to return a phone to a local store. The material in the bag was field tested and came up positive for cocaine.

Then, last December, tragedy struck - church member Dylan First, 17, was killed while riding at a retreat in Georgia for motocross ministry leaders.
It was a devastating loss, not only for Dylan's family - mother Patty, father Tony, sister Kristin and brother Matthew - but also for his church.
Dylan "was without a doubt the model young man for any ministry," recalled Ronnie Caswell, pastor of Forestpark Community Church, a Southern Baptist congregation that has long partnered with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Motocross ministry.
"He was an unbelievable servant, 4.0 kid, scholarship at U of L waiting on him, and he had been a part of the FCA ministry for years," Caswell said. "And a heck of a rider in addition to all that."
Since then, all who knew him soon concluded that Dylan would want the motocross ministry to continue. They have continued holding camps that mix motocross lessons with Bible studies, and they attend races, offering everything from chapel services to bike repairs.
Matthew, Dylan's brother, took part in these events - to a point. "I wanted to be involved with people and do the same thing, but as far as my own riding, I just put it aside," said Matthew, 21.
But in late September, on a dirt racetrack in Honduras, Matthew First, 21, donned his younger brother's burnt-orange-and-white jersey bearing the bold numbers 316 - representing the Bible verse John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son."
Then he took a solo lap along the winding dirt racetrack in tribute to his brother as a minister spoke to a crowd through a translator, recounting Dylan's friendliness, love of motorbiking and deep Christian faith.
"That was a good start to get out there and get back on a bike," Matthew recalled.

Peter O'Toole appeared on Letterman not too long ago and told this story about how he figured out what to put on his tombstone from a little note he once received from the dry cleaners. The note was tacked to a gross jacket that just couldn't be cleaned thoroughly, and it read (apparently), "It distresses us to return work which is not perfect."

We often receive questions about the unique services offered at Pillai Center. We will regularly share responses from Pillai Center teachers in this Q & A forum. Please submit your own questions to email@example.com.
How Does Mantra Writing Work?
What is the significance of mantra writing? Should I order this service through Pillai Center or can I write the mantras myself?
Yes, you may definitely write mantras on your own. Writing mantras is an extremely powerful practice. The act of writing is a mystery, and Dr. Pillai considers writing itself to be an occult practice. There are many things taking place here, but one is that when we write we are translating thought into action. In essence, when we write something, we are creating matter. Dr. Pillai says we are moving from the abstract domain to the concrete domain.
When we write the mantras, we are involving both the mind and the body simultaneously along with the nerves in the body. Mantra writing is another level of using a mantra, and can be even more powerful than chanting alone.
But like all other mantra practices, it also requires discipline and a consistent effort to see results.
Proxy Writing of Quantum Sound Frequencies for Solving Life Issues
In addition to experimenting with mantra writing on your own, you may also want to use the proxy writing service offered through Pillai Center.
This is an opportunity to receive results from the mantra practice and provide work for the person in India who will write the mantras on your behalf. You will both be benefited internally and materially.
For more information on all of the proxy writing services, please visit the store at http://www.pillaicenter.com/shopping/shophome.aspx and click on proxy sound writing.

Grantland Writer Michael Bertin Writes Worst Column Ever
Just awful. Ignoring the many grammatical errors ("You can't do much to effect [sic] revenue in season"), his main point is summed up in the final sentence: "If you're Billy Beane, you're likely in the hunt for the cost-per title before anyone throws a pitch. But if the A's want to start winning things at the end of the season, maybe they should start thinking about ponying up for a Verlander." Essentially, he's criticizing the A's for winning the $/win title, but not the World Series. My problem with that is, the A's won 94 games and the division. They were an awesome baseball team, regardless of salary. Bertin's point would be better if he were criticizing a 78 win team that led the league in $/win, but I don't see any reason why he should criticize the 94-win 2012 Oakland Athletics.

Beach vacations are rather popular for this time, so I figure I'll start with that! Again, here are my rules for packing:
- I hate checking luggage, so if I don't have to I won't.
- I hate bringing unnecessary crap.
- I better use everything, or I'll kick myself after the trip.
- Don't forget anything, or I'll kick myself during the trip.
So here's my basic packing list - things will be different depending on where you go, if you have any fancy events to go to, how good you want to look, etc. but this should cover about a week of beach time.
- Swimwear - I like to bring at least two bikinis, so I can wash one, and if it doesn't dry the next day, I have something to fall back on. I don't particularly care about mismatched tops and bottoms, but I do try to bring two somewhat coordinating suits. My roommate grabbed 3 tops and about a dozen mismatched bottoms which she started wearing as underwear because she forgot to bring any. So there's that too.
- Cover ups - While I'm completely comfortable walking around the resort in my bikini, I'm not sure everyone else is similarly appreciative of the human form. Bring a sarong, or one of those beach shirts. Shorts also work, and I think they are my favourite option so I bring two. I end up using my sarong as a scarf, but I've never subscribed to this whole sarong-as-dress thing. They are often see through, so...just don't. Unless it's opaque.
- Evening wear - One mistake I made was highly underestimating how casual the resort would be. I imagined there would be a dress code for dinner every night, but turns out people were quite comfortable in their bermuda shorts. I brought five dresses and just looked really overdressed the entire time. If I could do it again, I would bring one or two day dresses and then a skirt and some tops, which can also act as beach cover ups.
- Extras: I highly, highly recommend wearing jeans and something warm (i.e. long-sleeved) on the plane. Last time I went to Cuba, it rained/was bitterly cold for the first two days, and I shivered under my hotel room blankets in shorts. Bad idea.
- Bottom Line: 2 bikinis, one sarong, 2 day dresses, 1 short, two tops, one skirt and wear something warm on the plane.
- Waterproof mascara
- One eyeliner - I bring a black waterproof liquid liner. Pencil and cream liners smudge too much.
- If you must bring eyeshadow, find a quad you can bring, but limit yourself to no more than two products. Just do yourself that favour. You'll feel better about yourself.
- One cheek colour - I prefer cream blush or cheekstains because I find powder slides off/clumps on my sweaty self
- A lip colour - again, lipstick may be a little heavy for a beachy vacation. I would go with a gloss or a very moisturizing lipstick.
- SPF lip balm
- Tinted moisturizer - a foundation will melt off. Be warned!
- SPF - for face AND body. Regardless of the SPF you need to reapply every hour or so!
- Secret weapon: to even out my tan lines, I bring a little oil (coconut, argan, whatever) and rub it anywhere I'm paler. Not that you should tan or anything. You know, because it's bad for you and all that. Ahem.
- All of the above things either have applicators or can be applied with fingers - bonus! But I do keep an army of cotton swabs with me just in case.
- I do not bring heated appliances with me. Why? Because if you do need hot tools every day, your efforts will likely be thwarted by the insane humidity anyway. If you must, I'd bring a flat iron that can straighten and curl.
- Leave-in conditioner: Preferably one with SPF (or you could just wear a hat). It'll also protect your hair from any harsh climate damage.
- Shampoo and conditioner. See above. Unless you know that your hotel/resort is supplied by a brand you love.
PS: Don't forget your beach entertainment!

That daily hype doesn't always dovetail with what Wells Fargo Advisors top strategists are observing in the financial marketplace.

The Chemistry Department hosted a "Family Mole Night" in celebration of National Chemistry Week, an annual event sponsored by the American Chemical Society. It was held on Friday, Oct. 26, in the Coykendall Science Building.
"Family Mole Night" included hands-on science activities and demonstrations that introduce children to fun and playful ways of learning about science. Activities ranged from "Nanoparticles in your sunscreen," in which participants experimented with ultraviolet beads, to "Dementor's Kiss Ice Cream," a tasty introduction to liquid nitrogen. Each of the activities highlighted this year's theme: "Nanotechnology! The smallest big idea in science."
The event was attended by more than 40 children, aged 8-12 years old, who were guided through the activities by New Paltz undergraduate students. "Family Mole Night is a great opportunity for young children in our area to visit our labs and see the facilities at the college," said Chemistry Department Chair Professor Pamela St. John. "In addition to bringing awareness of chemistry into the local community, the event also gave New Paltz students a chance to teach residents about the role of chemistry in everyday life."

There's something in a Christmas snow
that lifts the heart.
The snows that fall on other days
don't have the touch
of Christmas snows,
although the first few flakes
of Winter's season race the blood
in most of us.
On other days, snow is snow
to plow and throw.
But Christmas snow?
There is magic by the shovelfull
to coax the timid into labor
against advice from those
who worry of a strain upon the heart.
Oh, strain it is, right enough,
but not the kind
that saps the strength and aches the back -
not Christmas snow.
Here's the wonder of the ages
to catch and fling against the wind,
and catch it back on tongue and face.
The heart beats faster full and warm,
but not so much from overwork
as overjoy, while 'Merry Christmas!'
sung across the restless drifts
echoes down the lane.

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – A small grow house operation is busted in Dougherty County, but Cops are more concerned about an assault-type weapon found in the house.
The Smith and Wesson A.R. 15, a powerful semi-automatic weapon that S.W.A.T. officers use, was found in the grow house operation.
23-year-old Wiley Reiser and 24-year-old Carolyn Morrison were arrested and charged with marijuana possession. Saturday Dougherty County Police were investigating shots fired in the neighborhood when they smelled marijuana.
A search inside the home found six plants, a grow light, and a number of bongs and burning marijuana. Reiser said he bought the rifle and 30 shot clip from a teenager.
"From what we understand it was purchased from a 15-year-old," said A.D.D.U. Commander Major Bill Berry. "We have contacted A.T.F. and they are following up on the transaction and the weapon itself, and will continue to investigate it's origin."
Reiser and Morrison are being held in the Dougherty County jail.
