The True Value of Pieces - Dejan Bojkov
Regular Price: $36.95
Our Price: $33.95Queen against two rooks or three minor pieces, as well as a rook plus pawn vs two minor pieces - these are typical constellations where the material is unbalanced. In our first steps in chess we are taught about the nominal value of the pieces. The queen is equal to nine pawns; a rook to five, a minor piece is worth three pawns. This is a common sense solution aimed at teaching the beginner a system of values so that he or she does not trade a more valuable piece for a less good one. Later however, situations occur in games in which one side can trade two minor pieces (six pawns) for a rook and a pawn (also six pawns). Theoretically speaking, this should result in an equal position, but in reality one of the two sides will profit from the exchange. Learn More

Chess Highways - Dejan Bojkov
Regular Price: $39.95
Our Price: $36.95
Almost all the chess pieces (except for the tricky knights) have the ability to move along straight lines, whether vertically (files), horizontally (ranks) or on the diagonals. These straight lines, which connect different areas of the board and give the pieces the chance to decide the outcome of the battle, are most important in chess, and thus the title - highways. Understanding the abilities of the pieces is absolutely crucial for every player, from beginner to master. In a game of chess you are the general, and the pieces are your soldiers - the better your relationship with your soldiers - the better your results.
In his third DVD for ChessBase, GM Dejan Bojkov from Bulgaria gives you an insight into the properties of those pieces which move in straight lines, and tips of how to best exploit the open diagonals, ranks and files to get the maximum out of each piece. In 30 clips you will find out how to better understand your major pieces and exploit the open and half open files; you will learn what their fears are, and how you can help them. The DVD contains at the end a training session to better promote the understanding of the material. It is an invaluable handbook for both chess players and trainers.
Video running time: 5 hours 38 min.
Dejan Bojkov is a Bulgarian Grandmaster who famously trained Former Women's World Champion Antoaneta Stefanova. An active player, his best results include winning the Bulgarian Championship in 2009 and in 2010 winning the Gronigen Chess Festival. His previous DVDs include the Try the Sicilian Kalashnikov! and A Modern Way to Play the King`s Indian.

AG Coakley unveils anti-foreclosure program
Attorney General Martha Coakley is announcing a new initiative to help Massachusetts cities and towns with high rates of distressed and vacant properties cope with the recent foreclosure crisis.
Coakley says her office is now accepting applications for a $1 million grant program designed to identify and return bank-owned properties to productive residential use.
The program is a collaboration with the state's registries of deeds. It relies on funds recovered by Coakley's office through a recent multi-state settlement related to unlawful foreclosure methods.
Coakley said the goal of the program is to ease the effects of the foreclosure crisis throughout the state by helping property owners comply with all state and local ordinances to bring their properties into a state of good repair.
The application deadline is June 13.

Elton John @ Caesars Palace
In Las Vegas for a conference and we are staying at Caesars Palace. No Caesar did not live there. As I am doing a bit of trip planning, I realize that Sir Elton John is playing at the Colosseum at the hotel. That is the venue built for Celine Dion when she started her Vegas residency. Now, a few different performers come for various stints to play there. The likes of Celine, Elton, Shania, Rod Stewart and others too like Jerry Seinfeld. Kim was fairly excited about the showing saying it would be great to see such a legend. Let's do it. Here is what $250 a seat gets you. Just behind the board. Lower was $500 - $1000. Too salty for me. Maybe for Celine. Not.
No intro band. Just fire up the first song and came out cold to The Bitch Is Back. There was the diva himself. With the sparkle cape on and two gentlemen following to remove it.
He had these ornate stage pieces on the sides with various themes from his songs. A big screen in the back that came to life differently in each song. Some songs were with a 16 person band. Other songs he just did solo.
He told a bit of a story between songs. Name dropping and all. "When I was with John Lennon" or "when I played the 9/11 tribute concert". Etc. Hey, he did that stuff. Amazing life spanning decades of playing.
At one point, they lifted those side pieces and had the whole stage open up. This was Philadelphia Freedom with a big video backdrop.
The audience was full of older white couples tapping their toes. Not my crowd. Used to sweating and sometimes bleeding on each other. But hey. Elton would rile the crowd and try to get them up. I bet he is used to this. He did a good job building over the show. When Crocodile Rock came up as seen below with the green backdrop, the people next to me did a full on swing dance in front of their seats. They never moved an inch before this.
They had camera on the sides of the stage but I couldn't figure out the use. But finally, they started panning in and showing Elton on the big screen. That was fun. Then would go through the crowd and such.
I enjoyed when they used the camera on the piano to show fingers. I don't play but Elton seemed to be banging away on that Million Dollar Piano. That was the show name, after the piano. The program said that's what it cost to build because of all the fancy componentry and LED screens and such.
The concert was very "jam band" -- which was good. Extended versions of songs. Piano trailing off. Songs I had never heard. They did this Indian song which had this amazing guy playing percussion. He was the probably the highlight of the show. It was 10 minutes of awesome. They finished by clearing the first 5 or so rows (those $1000 seats) and bringing them on stage to surround Elton for Saturday Night. Most of the folks on stage had their cameras out the whole time trying to capture Elton playing for them 1 foot away. Neat.
Overall, it was a 2 hour show that went by in a flash. Quality entertainment. We went to a Cirque show the next day and this concert was way better in comparison. At 66, Elton has a rich history and a lot of classic songs. It was by far the most mainstream biggest artist concert of my rock show history and I enjoyed it. Its amazing to see someone who is a master at their craft do anything live. This was the last show Elton has before summer break but he will be back in the fall. Get tickets and see it. Its fabulous. I might even wear a boa next time.
Run: Boulder High School To Home (26.29 mi)
Go out so-so, when it hurts find a 7-11!
-Brandon Fuller, 2013
The girls had another track meet today at Boulder High School. It was in the mid-80s at race time. Nobody is ready to run in that weather yet. Plus, they spent last night sleeping at the zoo and were falling asleep on the drive to the track. This can't get us maximum race performance. Oh well. They ran 50m, 200m, 400m. One more meet last week.
As for me, I had to watch Kayla while they were gone so I wasn't able to get out on my long run until today. But then I thought to myself, what would Dean do? No, I really didn't think that. But I remember how Dean first inspired me to run to and fro various nonsensical things. This was his brilliance. So I decided that I would run home from Boulder High.
This is not a new adventure. I have run from home to Boulder. And back. With a Green Mountain in between. I looked up at Green as I stripped down to just my shorts in the high school parking lot. Still looked snowy and would easily add 90+ minutes for just that up and back. Plus, my ass would be really dragging coming in tonight. I passed.
So at 5 PM, I was off from the school and down the Boulder Creek Path for the run home. Oddly, I usually have run home just up the highway because I am dead. So instead I reversed the Lobo trail out of Boulder, which is super windy in spots. Not the most efficient way to travel in a specific direction. The temps were up and I hammered down 3 gels in the first hour. Phew. By the time I was up to Highway 52, I was out of water with no obvious refills in sight. I usually duck in a church but they all seemed closed up at this hour. The parks are not on yet because of our recent snow spell. They all love to wait until its fucking summer to turn the god damn water on in the parks and let people use the shitter. Apparently, nobody takes a dump over the winter at the park because we are all hibernating.
As I was cresting this miniature hill in Niwot, I bonked. Cramped up too. Dehydrated. Not much I could do. I pulled out my phone and texted my wife for kicks. Part of me wanted her to say, "oh we are nearby and will get you and take you for ICE CREAM". I was delusional. Oddly, I started checking email while fast walking to work out the cramp. Then I checked Facebook because what else should you be doing in the middle of your long run? Saw Tony's R2R2R2R2R post and enjoyed that while the cramp subsided. I can't say I was instantly motivated but I did get back to a run again shortly there after.
As I came through Longmont, I knew one thing. I had to get some calories in me. So I ran up a side street and over to 7-11. How would society exist without this wonderful establishment? I went in all smelly and shirtless with my credit card out like a weapon. Water. Red Bull (not diet!). Snickers. Advil. "Do you want your receipt?", she says. Sure, I will shove it down my pants. Whatever. I went outside and sat on some firewood for sale and filled my bottle. Popped the Advils and chased it down with Red Bull. Lots of people hang out in their cars in the parking lot there and I think the commentary about me had to be interesting. I proceeded to shove the entire Snickers bar in my mouth like a porn star and head on out. 2 blocks later. Life was good.
The sun was down at this point and twilight was subsiding fast. That darkness where you can run on sidewalk because of the moonlight but can't see anything on your watch anymore. Some quick math...like simple addition...indicated that I would be 0.5 miles short of a true marathon knowing my landmarks. Well, we can't come up short like that. I recalled the April Strava Challenge where you have to run a marathon. OK, fine. If Brownie can run a 3:40 and get it, I guess I can phone in a 4:10 or so. And so I kept at it. Felt like I was flying in the cool night air after that hot day. Hit the watch light to find out I was burning up 9:30 pace. Watch out everybody. The Advil kept me from crying my way home but didn't improve my physical capabilities. Guess I will try EPO next time.
My wife texted me, "Are you close to home yet?". All I could figure was that she wanted sex or something by this point. Again, running in the heat makes you delusional. I came into my neighborhood and had to do one of those bullshit loops where you have to spend another 1/2 mile or you will come up short when you hit the house. God damn those suck. Feels like bad planning. So I came down my street to a bunch of dark houses and nobody outside to tell me how awesome I am because I just did the impossible. Kind of. Not. I tried to get inside but the door was locked. Then I realized nobody took the trash cans out. So I did that. My job is never done.
Came inside and everyone was asleep. Clearly worn out from the zoo. Not from worrying if Dad made it back from Boulder. That guy is nuts. Like Dean.
I went 26.29 miles with an elevation gain of 334 feet in 04:08:06, which is an average pace of 09:26. View my GPS data on Garmin Connect.
My Daughters = Runners
Sydney and Reagan joined a running club. Click on their names for the full scoop. First race was last weekend at Boulder High School. 2 more races in the series. So on Sundays...you will find me in Boulder on a track. Weird. I thought they only had trails down there.
Bullet For My Valentine @ The Warfield
This is a great show I thought to myself last Friday. A guy in front of me has the concert t-shirt on. As I peruse the back of it I notice something interesting. San Francisco. Wednesday. I will be there! Boing. Why not?
Off to the Warfield in San Francisco I go. Was curious how a like the same show on the same tour in a different city would be. You know how they go...you are the best crowd...well, do they say that to everyone? Time to find out. Arrived just as Halestorm got started after some terrible traffic. Lzzy got started in the same leather outfit as the other night. OK. Do they wash these things between shows? Where do they do that at? Or she has multiple? These are things I must seek the truth to.
So same set as I recall from Friday. A lot of the same banter between certain songs.
She has a great range in her voice. Enjoyable to hear. Again, her mic was so clear. Lots of bands (even B4MV tonight) back off the vocals so much in comparison. Anyway, definitely a Halestorm fan now after these 2 shows. Read a little backstory on them how her and her brother (drummer) started the band at 10/12 years of age. Dad played bass. Played some county fair and then decided this was what they were meant to do.
Time for Bullet! The crowd had been pretty stationary until now. Things livened up but never got to a mosh the way Denver does. Denver wins.
Matt had a different outfit on for the night. Only person on stage that changed as far as I recall. Same set tonight as Friday. No encore again.
Lzzy was in the wings as Dirty Little Secret began. I knew what to expect there. Same deal as Friday. Its a good mix but then she backs off for the back half of the song because its not her gig.
Overall, I enjoyed seeing it again. B4MV is a favorite band and you can't go wrong catching them twice. On the same tour. In different cities. Science project complete.
Post rock show dinner at IN-N-OUT!
Blue Jeans Network
After a full two days of unemployment, I had to get off my butt and find a job. So I headed out to Mountain View, California and joined my friends @ Blue Jeans Network!
Many familiar faces (Ted, Luke, and more!) here at Blue Jeans exposed me to the company. I believe the vision of video conferencing everywhere still needs to become a reality. We were trying at Cisco. But these guys are in a unique position to pull it off by being a interoperable cloud-based player in this market. Here, let us tell you about it.
So I joined the team as a technical leader. Still working from home out of Colorado...courtesy of video conferencing, of course! Thanks to my friends in and out of Blue Jeans who helped me out on this transition with advice. Should be fun to be at a small company once again. Who knows...might just end up back where I started if things go well.
Bullet For My Valentine @ The Fillmore
Whenever my favorite Welsh heavy metal band comes over the pond, you know I will be there! Bullet For My Valentine kicked off their US tour in support of their new album, Temper Temper, last night in Denver. Nobody ever kicks off a tour here. We are buried 1/2 way down on the concert t-shirt between Boise and Kansas City. Not tonight. We get to see it first.
They led out with Breaking Point which didn't surprise me. Your Betrayal came in 2nd which was the prior tour opener which is always amazing. I run to that song like everyday.
The pit was especially sweaty tonight. Smelled like 15 kinds of dude when I was done. I bought a concert t-shirt on the way out just to change into something dry for the drive home. Good excuse.
Here is Matt turning the Mike around and making us sing the song to get it going.
Young Guns and Halestorm opened. I walked in right during the end of Young Guns. Saw the full Halestorm set. I was sure not expecting anything special but I enjoyed it a lot. I have about 0 bands in my music library with female lead singers but this chick rocks. Full guitar. Great voice. They had Lizzy dialed in just right and the vocals were really clear. I loved it. I was back a ways during that set but then Lizzy reappeared during Animal during the B4MV set and did a little duet. Nice!
I need to brush up my Halestorm now.
Thanks for starting the tour in Denver guys! Hope to see you again. How about this Wednesday? San Francisco!
Goodbye, Cisco
This is my stop. Getting off here. Thanks for the ride.
In 2004, our relatively "small company" got acquired by its neighbor down the street, Cisco. Nearly a decade of working at a "big company" has led me to a decision to make a change. Years ago, I might have written a diatribe about all the things that were behind this decision. But today, I won't. Cisco treated me well on the whole. Gave me a lot of flexibility. I just wasn't content with the challenge anymore. That's what I circled on my exit survey.
So just before our spring vacation trip, I gave my two weeks notice. And today is the end of that period. Last day of employment inside the mother ship. Spooky? Exciting? Seemed like just another day actually.
Yep, my Dad and I saw Discovery launch back in October of 2007. That was pretty neat even from a distance. It was kind of a bucket list thing that just happened to come true.
Fast forward to 2012 and the shuttles being retired then "gifted" to others to be put on display. After watching all the coverage of them transporting the retired shuttle Endeavour to Los Angeles, I was intrigued to pay it a visit. Where would you put such a thing? I had to see.
We went to the California Science Center. Tickets to see the shuttle were just $2 a person. The museum is free...oddly. The lines were kind of chaotic as if they had a "rock star" visiting but were not sure how to handle it just yet. You travel through a standard display room where they have some video footage, a few props, and some photos to check out. Not a big display by any means. But all this is temporary as they design and build a final resting place for the shuttle. Then you head out back to a newly constructed minimal pavilion/hangar. And inside...
There it sits. On 3 points of contact. A shuttle. Up close! Never seen such a sight. When its in service, nobody gets this close. So now, its right over your head. I walked up under it first hand. The tiles on the bottom are weird. They look like square pieces of rubber that would just fall off other than a single bolt through the middle of them. These are the famed heat tiles?
Around the back, the engines are still on. I thought I heard they might remove those? Or maybe these are replacements? They looked pretty clean. The scale was huge. Not sure if Sydney does it justice but figured I would stick a human in there to see if it scaled.
Kayla stood by a spare they had on hand. Apparently, they had 9 of these ready for each mission. 3 for the primary shuttle, 3 for the backup shuttle (rescue mission), and 3 on standby. The machinery of the engine looked very "willy wonka" or something. Just shiny bent metal going every which way.
Around the front, you get a sense of the texture of the top of the craft. I always had this pegged as some sort of sheet metal looking craft. Hell, that's what all the toy models feel like. But its not. Its covered in what looks like a quilt. A sort of bumpy textured heavy sock around it. It was odd. The words and flags look like iron-on patches instead of a paint job on a stock car. Unexpected.
Here are the rear points of contact on the pedestal. I swear the contact was the size of a Coke can. They use bigger jack contacts to lift my H2. I later learned that this pillars it sits on are designed to protect the shuttle from shaking too hard in the event of an earthquake.
They are designing and building a new home for the shuttle here on site. This house is temporary. Looks like they are going to stand the sucker up and put rockets back on it. Then open up the bays and such and let you view inside. Today everything is all zipped up tight with no plans to ever let any of the public tour on the inside to preserve it.
A couple more profile shots. These were all from my phone but they were OK. Might post more from our camera once I get the pictures off.
Random iPhone panorama. Not great. Shuttle looks bloated but at least you get a single view of the whole thing.
My kids enjoyed it but didn't quite grasp it. I grew up during the shuttle years. Its amazing to see this thing in person. Brought a tear to my eye when I saw it. Such a modern marvel. Good night, Endeavour.
My new toy.
"I wasn't even sure you were even running anymore", says Tony, as we cross paths this morning on Amp.
Yes, I guess I have been silent recently. Or vague. Tony's comment was just one of many over the past week. My Mom asked me if I was going to WS100 again. When I said no, she asked if I had retired. My sister asked me if I was running at all on her visit this past weekend. My friend asked me if I was racing Leadville. It was not a 1-word answer. It goes on.
So yes, I have been running. Decently. Base building-ish. I took a break from Green Mountain for the winter because of some combination of cold, wet and not having a car when I usually would have before. It was a nice break. I even had streaks of not running this winter but I quickly find that my "soul" likes to get out and run around the reservoir I live by daily. Its my patrol. It makes me feel good. So I do it. I don't do it to train or run faster. I just do it to get out.
The reality is that I have a job where I sit in a chair a lot. When I don't exercise, I gain weight. I get sluggish. My bowels get angry. Running equalizes all that and more. Part of me always figured I would just retire at some point from running. That sounds cool. Makes you sound professional or some such shit. I am so good that I have to tell people I am not doing this anymore. Right. That's not the case here. I went from running to get un-fat. To running to race. To running to enjoy challenges. To just running because its part of me now. Is this making any sense?
So over the past few months, I stopped talking about my miles. Maybe its because they are mine? Maybe its because its not extraordinary. I don't know. I just didn't have the passion to share. I don't care if you "look at me!". I don't have anything new planned. I am content doing the same old stuff for a while longer while seeing if new challenges open up for me. I have a history of taking up some new hobby. Doing the shit out of it. Then dropping it cold. I feel like I have tried to drop this one a bit. And while its not holding the same weight in my mind as years prior, I can't shake it. Or the elusive big buckle. The real goal is just having a race I am proud of there. I am proud of all the finishes. But I oddly am more proud of the DNF because I feel like I went for something. So just a solid race. No 100 is perfect. But if its solid, then the time will speak for itself. If its enough for big, so be it.
What do I do with that? Well, for the past 3 years, I have started thinking about the Leadville Trail 100 on Jan 1. Training starts! Go. By the time we hit June, I am fucking spent. July lingers. By August, get this over with already. This year, I changed. I haven't really started. But I will soon. I hope to time the peak better this year. Maybe the implied delay will make me feel like I don't have as much time and push harder. Maybe not. I am sure I can fake 100 miles this year if I want. Or be cool and do a DNS (Did not start). Never had one of those! But those aren't going to get me any closer to that stretch goal of the 1000 mile buckle. I am not the fastest but I think I can be in the top tier of repeat sufferers.
So with a spark of that, I headed back to Green today after 2 months or so away. Then I struggled through the slippery ice with no traction up the hill to have JV catch me from behind as planned. As we stood on the summit, I turned and noticed something.
His legs! Jeff is like the groundhog. When you see his legs, that must mean winter is over. That means that summer is almost here. And there is nothing quite like running trails in the heat of the summer. Maybe my motivation turned today. I hope so. Being vague is pretty boring. People tend to lose interest.

|Texans release RB Bell, sign OT Tucker
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 08 August 2008 08:09
Salaam started all 16 games for Houston last season, but coach Gary Kubiak said Salaam will be out for three to four weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
The Texans signed Bell on July 31 to back up Chris Brown, who's been hampered by back soreness at training camp. Bell played two seasons with Denver before the Broncos released him and he signed with Houston.
Kubiak said Tucker could play in Saturday's preseason opener against Denver.
``He's going to suit up, and I sure hope we're OK so that he doesn't have to go out there,'' Kubiak said. ``I think he could go out there in a real, real emergency situation.''

Britain's top equity index slid on Monday, led lower by supermarket retailer Tesco which slumped after finding a fault in its accounts that led it to overstate its first-half profit forecast.
TUI Travel, down 2.1 percent, was the top faller in the blue-chip FTSE 100 index, with traders citing read-across from sector rival Thomas Cook.
However, traders saw the Scottish vote - due on Sept. 18 - as preventing the FTSE from latching onto the advances made elsewhere in Europe.
The blue-chip FTSE 100 index briefly extended losses after data showed Britain's rapid economic recovery eased in the third quarter.
Financial stocks contributed a third of the 17.95-point rise in the FTSE 100 by 0902 GMT, taking the index up 0.3 per cent to 6,628.99.
The blue-chip FTSE 100 index, which hit a 14-1/2 year high of 6,904.86 points earlier this week, slipped back by 0.1 per cent.
Shortly after the PMI data, sterling was trading around 0.1 per cent higher against the dollar at $1.6490.
Airlines easyJet and IAG rose 3 per cent and 1.9 per cent as a rising dollar and ample supply continued to push down oil prices, the largest cost for airlines.

DOHUK, Iraq – Extremist fighters swarmed into a besieged Yazidi village Friday and killed or captured dozens of residents, according to Yazidis and Kurdish commanders, offering a reminder that the ancient minority sect is still in danger despite President Barack Obama's conclusion that the risk had passed for a group stranded on Mount Sinjar.
Islamic State militants surged into Kocho, on the nearby Sinjar Plain, after a weeklong siege in which the al-Qaida-inspired group demanded that residents convert to Islam or face death, said the reports, which could not be independently verified.
The men were rounded up and executed, while the women were taken to an undisclosed location, said Ziad Sinjar, a pesh merga commander based on the edge of Mount Sinjar, citing the accounts of villagers nearby. He put the number of dead at 42 and said 80 women and children had been taken from the village.
Yazidi activists said at least 80 men were killed and hundreds of women taken away.
The accounts could not be independently confirmed, or the conflicting numbers reconciled, but fears had been growing for the welfare of Yazidis trapped in the village since the Islamic State siege began last Thursday.
The U.S. Central Command said Friday that it had carried out a drone strike south of the town of Sinjar after receiving reports of an attack in the area. The drone struck and destroyed two vehicles, it said.
The alleged killings came a day after Obama called off plans for a military evacuation of Yazidis trapped on Mount Sinjar, saying they were no longer at risk. If confirmed, they would constitute the worst single atrocity committed against the Yazidis since the Aug. 3 assault on Sinjar triggered a humanitarian crisis and contributed to the Obama administration's decision to intervene.
Obama declared Thursday that the U.S. effort broke the ISIL siege of Mount Sinjar. A team of U.S. Special Forces and aid officials dispatched to the mountain Wednesday concluded that the intervention had dispelled the imminent threat to the lives of Yazidis, he said.
But although the airstrikes appear to have helped those trapped on the mountain reach safety, people who did not join the initial exodus are still at risk, Yazidis say.
The sole mission of the airstrikes was to protect the people on the mountain, not to free anyone outside the mountain, said Murad Ismael, a Yazidi activist based in Washington.
Kocho lies south of the town of Sinjar, from which the exodus took place, and many residents were unable to join the scramble to flee because they found themselves cut off by the Islamic State advance, according to Yazidi refugees in northern Iraq.
After the Islamic State fighters surrounded the village last week, they issued a deadline of Sunday, which was extended to Monday, then extended again several times more as the week wore on.
On Friday, the fighters moved in.
Ismael said he believed the Islamic State was emboldened to strike against the village after Obama called off the evacuation plan.
They did not kill them when there was air coverage, he said. They started killing only after Obama said the siege is over. They got the message and decided to kill these people.

Florida Georgia Line Land First No. 1 Album With 'Anything Goes'
Love 'em or hate 'em, Florida Georgia Line are clearly doing something right. The 'Sun Daze' duo just scored their very first No. 1 album with the release of 'Anything Goes.'
Love 'em or hate 'em, Florida Georgia Line are clearly doing something right. The 'Sun Daze' duo just scored their very first No. 1 album with the release of 'Anything Goes.'
Although it's a little early, Sara Evans is in the holiday spirit! And she hopes that jolly attitude will rub off on her fans when she releases her new holiday album, 'At Christmas.'
Zac Brown Band have announced their very first career anthology, appropriately titled 'Greatest Hits So Far...'
Country singer Jeff Bates has often been compared to Conway Twitty, and now fans will have their chance to hear him sing some of the country legend's most beloved songs. Bates is set to release 'Me and Conway' in November.
The final push to get new music in stores before the holidays comes in November for a number of country's biggest stars. Garth Brooks leads the field with his much-anticipated 'Man Against Machine' album. However, he's not the only A-lister with a new music release.
Trisha Yearwood has dished up a few samples of her forthcoming 'PrizeFighter: Hit After Hit' album, including the cover and track listing.
Maddie & Tae leaned on fans to help them reveal the cover and track listing for their debut release, the self-titled 'Maddie & Tae.'
More information on the highly anticipated forthcoming Garth Brooks album is slowly trickling in. The legend -- who is making a monstrous comeback in 2014 -- has announced the title, 'Man Against Machine,' along with the cover art.
Kenny Chesney has done it again ... for the 13th time! The singer is sittin' pretty at the top of the Billboard Top Country Albums chart with his latest studio album, 'The Big Revival.'
Jason Aldean says 'Old Boots, New Dirt' is unlike any album he's ever recorded, but there are still some similarities to previous projects. He's used the same producer and band to record his sixth studio album, he taps many of the same songwriters and leans into many of the same themes (trucks, backroad love stories, rowdy weekends). However, there's no denying that his 2014 album chooses the road less traveled in country music.

BRIAN A. BICK, d/o/b 2-09-1973, of Hollister, was sentenced on Thursday, October 23, 2014, to seven (7) years in the Missouri Department of Corrections for the class D felony of driving while intoxicated and seven (7) years for the class D felony of Driving While Revoked. Senior Judge Carr Woods, acting as the Taney County Circuit Court Judge, sentenced Bick after hearing arguments from both the defense and the Taney County Prosecutor's Office, as there was no plea agreement as to what sentence Bick would receive on his felony charges. Bick's sentences were ordered by the court to be concurrent.
On the morning of July 19, 2013, Branson Police were contacted by citizens complaining about a possible drunk driver in a red Saturn passenger car hit the curb at least three (3) times while driving a short distance on Green Mountain Drive. Officers found the driver, Bick, in a semi-conscious condition. The car was parked in the middle of Keeter Street, Bick was found seated in the driver seat of the car, but with the door open and his left foot on the pavement. After Bick's arrest, a sample of his blood was taken and sent to a crime lab for testing. Bick's blood-alcohol content was found to be 0.23% (0.08% is the level of presumed intoxication in Missouri). Bick's license was already revoked at the time of his arrest for driving while intoxicated.
Driving while intoxicated, as a first offense, is normally a class B misdemeanor, and handled by the Associate Circuit Courts. However, because Bick had two (2) or more intoxication-related traffic offenses, he was charged with a class D felony for being a "persistent" D.W.I. offender. The maximum term of imprisonment for a class D felony is not more than four (4) years in prison. However, Bick was charged as a prior and persistent felony offender, enhancing his possible maximum prison sentence on each charge to seven (7) years.

On Thursday, October 23, 2014, in the Circuit Court of Taney County, JONATHAN D. HILL, d/o/b 8-01-1976, of Forsyth, pleaded guilty and was sentenced by Greene County Circuit Court Judge Calvin Holden to twenty-five (25) years in the Missouri Department of Corrections, for committing several felonies during a home invasion in December of 2012.
Specifically, Hill entered an Alford plea of guilty to the class B felony of assault in the first degree, and straight guilty pleas to the class B felonies of burglary in the first degree, and two (2) counts of kidnapping. Hill also pleaded guilty to the class A felony of robbery in the first degree, and the unclassified felony of armed criminal action – receiving concurrent sentences of twenty-five (25) years on each of those six (6) felonies. In addition, Hill pleaded guilty to the class C felony of tampering in the first degree – for which he received fifteen (15) years – and the class D felony of resisting arrest – for which he received seven (7) years. Judge Holden, hearing the case on assignment, sentenced Hill pursuant to a plea agreement with the Taney County Prosecutor's Office.
On December 28, 2012, the Taney County Sheriff's Office responded to a 9-1-1 call regarding a home invasion in Ridgedale. The occupants of the home, a husband and wife, told deputies that they recognized Hill because he had previously done renovation work at their home. They further reported that Hill and another male had forced their way inside the home. Once inside, the robbers physically assaulted the husband – fracturing his orbital bone – and threatened to kill both victims with a knife.
Hill and the other man loaded the homeowners' guns, ammunition, jewelry, and other valuables into the homeowners' truck, and bound the victims with duct tape before fleeing the scene. When deputies located Hill and the other male, the men fled from law enforcement, driving at speeds exceeding 100 miles-per-hour. The men were eventually found hiding in a heavily wooded area within hours of the home invasion.
A class A felony carries a range of punishment of ten (10) to thirty (30) years or life imprisonment, while ordinarily a class B felony carries a range of punishment of five (5) to fifteen (15) years imprisonment. A class C felony carries up to seven (7) years imprisonment and up to $5,000 in fines, and a class D felony carries up to four (4) years imprisonment and up to $5,000 in fines. However, Hill was charged as a prior and persistent felony offender, enhancing the maximum sentence for his felony offenses. Armed Criminal Action carries a minimum punishment of three (3) years imprisonment with no maximum.
Due to the nature of the crime, Hill will be required to serve at least eighty-five percent (85%) of his sentence before he is eligible for parole. Hill had been in jail since his arrest in December of 2012.

On Thursday, October 2, 2014, JAMES C. STAUDACHER, JR., d/o/b 5-08-1970, of Branson, pleaded guilty to the class B felony of DWI and was sentenced to ten (10) years in the Missouri Department of Corrections. Senior Judge Carr Woods, acting as Taney County Circuit Court Judge, sentenced Staudacher pursuant to a plea agreement between the Taney County Prosecutor's Office and Staudacher's lawyer.
Branson Police Officer Joseph Edwards was on routine patrol of Highway 76 during Branson's annual cruise event on August 11, 2013, when he observed a passenger car accelerating and causing its tires to break traction with the pavement. Edwards and another Branson officer tried to initiate a traffic stop on the car, and the driver of the car did not immediately stop for the officers. Once the driver stopped the car in a parking lot, Officer Edwards made contact with the driver, Staudacher, and immediately noticed a strong odor of intoxicants. A bottle of bourbon was found in Staudacher's car, and Staudacher refused the standard field sobriety tests, though told officers he would consent to a breath sample. Staudacher was arrested for suspicion of DWI and taken to the Branson Police Department, where his blood alcohol content was shown by breath sample to be 0.196% – over twice the level of legal intoxication.
Driving while intoxicated, as a first offense, is normally a class B misdemeanor, and handled by the Associate Circuit Courts. However, because Staudacher had four or more intoxication-related traffic convictions – from various courts in Stone County and Taney County – he was charged with a class B felony for being a "chronic" D.W.I. offender. The range of punishment for a class B felony is not less than five (5) years in prison and not more than fifteen (15) years in prison. Staudacher had been in custody on another case at the time of his guilty plea.

On June 28 I will be staying in Wellfleet for one night with my mother & sister. Although we have been to the Cape many times, I would like some restaurant suggestions for Wellfleet or nearby towns. It seems like we always go to the same places. We definitely want a restaurant that serves fried clams (a priority); it could be either a clam shack or something a little pricier. We have eaten many times at Arnolds, so don't want to go there. Last year we ate at Moby Dick's which we enjoyed, but they don't serve alcohol, & we would prefer not to bring our own. We have also eaten at Lobster Pot & Surf Club in Provincetown.
We have had lunch at the Bookstore Restaurant in Wellfleet & am thinking of going there for dinner. Other possibilities are Catch of the Day, Mac's Seafood Restaurant or Mac's Shack or possibily Lobster Claw in Orleans or Bubalas in P'town. What are your thoughts/experiences with these? Any other suggestions?
Need restaurant suggestion for Wellfleet or vicinity

I've eaten at both of the Mac's--the shack on Commercial St. and the Seafood "restaurant" on the harbor. They both have fried clams but you need to go to the Shack to get alcohol and sit at tables inside or out. I think Mac's Shack is one of the best places around.
We also liked Pearl, which is next to the Bookstore. They have a nice deck on the back if the weather is good. The Wicked Oyster is very popular but I don't think they have fried clams.
I also liked Catch of the Day but for your one dinner I'd go somewhere with a little more Cape Cod atmosphere.
Report Abuse
Thanks cw.
Has anyone eaten at Bayside Betsy's in P'town?
Report Abuse
Kwoo, I've only been to Bubula's of the places you listed. It seems to be pretty popular given the crowds, but I found the food middle of the road in quality.
Report Abuse
I'd go to Mac's Shack or to Blackfin in Truro. Bubulas is mediocre, as is Lobster Claw, IMO.
Report Abuse
Bayside Betsy's has THE BEST clam chowder on the Cape. Sometimes we make a special trip in the winter...just for her chowder. I am not impressed with the rest of the menu but you really can not beat the clam chowder, IMO.
Report Abuse
Jubilada, do you mean Blackfish in Truro? I checked out their menu & it looks like they don't serve fried clams, which is what my sister really wants. But I'll show her the menu & she may change her mind. The menu sounds very interesting! If she still insists on fried clams, I think we'll try Mac's Shack since we are staying in Wellfleet; then we can always go to Winslow's Tavern for an after-dinner drink
Report Abuse
On rereading Kwoo's list, I realized I have indeed been to the Lobster Claw in Orleans, and my experience there was a very positive one.
Report Abuse
Yes, I did mean blackfish, sorry.
no fried clams, more upscale, but really good. if she wants fried clams Mac's shack doesn't have them either, you's have to go to the original Mac's.
Report Abuse
not you's, you. sorry again!
Report Abuse
jubilada: Mac's Shack does list fried clams on it's menu (and that's good news for me!).
Report Abuse
cw: I'm sorry, you are right. I just didn't see it when I checked yesterday. I am so glad!!!
Report Abuse
I'm glad too! but I don't remember them having fried clams when they first opened, so it's an easy mix-up. Maybe it's a new menu.
Report Abuse
I always eat sushi there, so I probably just haven't noticed...
Report Abuse
I told my sister about Mac's Shack, so I think that's where we will go.
Report Abuse
Another suggestion: try The Mews in Provincetown.
Report Abuse
Kwoo: you won't be sorry. Hopefully it will be a beautiful evening and you can sit outside.
Report Abuse
Thanks to everyone for all your advice. Right now we are planning on going to Mac's Shack but I will put The Mews & other places on a list for the next time we are on the Cape, which might be in August.
Report Abuse
You'll enjoy Mac's Shack. It's a great place.
