CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- David Pearson has been selected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
The Silver Fox was controversially left out of last year's inaugural class despite 105 career wins. There was an outcry among race fans at his exclusion in favor of longtime NASCAR chairman Bill France Jr.
Pearson received an immediate standing ovation from those gathered in the Great Hall of the Hall of Fame on Wednesday. Also selected was Bobby Allison, whose 84 wins are tied for third on the all-time victory list.
Lee Petty, the patriarch of Petty Enterprises was the third name announced. He was followed by Ned Jarrett and Bud Moore.
Not selected was Darrell Waltrip, the three-time champion who had actively campaigned.

Find a coffee table book dedicated to something they both enjoy.
How big or expensive the book is doesn't matter much; what's more important is that it pertains to the ethos of the couple in question. If they takes biannual
visits to France
, maybe look for something on the Normandy countryside; if they have a Twitter account for their shared Jack Russell terrier, a collection of dog photos would be good (bonus points if it's the same breed).
The French Dog
by rachael hale, $29.95,
Monogram something that isn't usually monogrammed.
Chances are your spend-happy friends already have some of the standard stuff monogrammed—napkins, towels, totes—so something surprising, like soap, prove you put some thought into your gifting.
Monogrammed Square Paperwhite Soap Set, $49,
Go vintage or handmade.
If want to ensure that your gift is 100 percent one-of-a-kind, dig around on sites like
or eBay for antique or artisanal homegoods.
Sea Breeze Queen Quilt, $425,
Give them a date.
Movies are things that people love to go to, but
paying for
, so extra tickets are always good. But also, you might want to consider something a little more specific to what's available in your hometown, like a cooking class or dancing lesson.
Regal Ticket Style Gift Card,
Sign them up for an of-the-month club.
Although sending a basket of food is a terrible idea, both impersonal and inconvenient (you're handing off a bunch of perishables right before they fly off on a honeymoon: not cool), a monthly delivery of their favorite treat (you don't have to go fruit; there's everything from
wine to coffee to bacon out there
) has the opposite effect. I mean, wouldn't you enjoy getting a free snack replenishment every 30 days?
12-Month Organic Fruit-of-the-Month Club® Collection, $349.95,
Look for the fanciest version of something ordinary.
The key here is to make sure the ordinary thing happens to be something they use all the time already, otherwise the gesture doesn't make sense. For instance, a poker set worthy of Donald Trump's man cave would work for any couple that regularly hosts casino night.
Poker Set, $595, Renzo Romagnoli,
Personalize some stationery.
Even if they haven't decided to share a last name, it's a nice way to commemorate their new official Mr. and Mrs. (
or Mr. and Mr./Mrs. and Mrs.!!!
) status; it'll also come in handy for all those post-wedding thank-you notes they'll be writing.
Personalized Dalton Blue Correspondence Cards, from $94 for 25,
Monogrammed Square Paperwhite Soap Set, $49,

You might run across purslane, with its glossy, plump leaves, at a farmers marketand you might even find it growing in the cracks of your sidewalk or in your yard. Luckily, this incredibly nutritious and juicy green is a weed, which means it pops up wild nearly everywhere. Lots of chopped parsley and a simple vinaigrette flatter its herbal, lemony crunch.

Foodies and hotel fans: I wanted to make sure you don't miss the amusing article that recently ran in the New York Times' Fall Restaurant Preview about how some restaurants track customers' spending habits and other quirks - in a way that might make hoteliers might laugh (or not).
Headlined "What Restaurants Know (About You)," the piece by Susanne Craig says a growing number of high-end eateries around Manhattan collect data about customers' dining habits and then convey the intel to waiters in abbreviated form.
See if any of the interesting abbreviations revealed by the Times fit you:
TWITTER: Join USA TODAY's Barb DeLollis on Twitter
Just like hotels, some restaurants think it's time to know as much as they can about you so they can serve you better - or at least handle you differently if you're one difficult customer.
"Restaurant managers say their main goal is to pamper the customer, to recreate the comfort of a local corner spot where everybody knows your name," Craig writes.
Restaurants track: Are you a first-time customer, a local resident, friend of the owner, generous tipper, Kosher eater, allergic to seafood, someone who lingers for longer-than-average periods after dessert, and/or someone who usually orders pricey bottles of wine ("WW").
An SFN, for instance, might get some tasty morsels before their meals arrive because they're known to like all things free, the Times says. A person who tends to linger forever after finishing their meal - a "camper" - might be given an uncomfortable chair, the story says.
The descriptions are discreetly stored in guest computer files that pop up when you're checked into the restaurant. Some profane acronyms, the Times says, have been phased out for fear of lawsuits.
What acronyms might hotels use to describe you?
I can't help but wonder about the acronyms that hotels might think up to use for us, given that they have access to more intimate details about the way we live.
In luxury hotels, for instance, housekeepers typically track which side of the bed a single guest sleeps on so that they can lay out the slippers and mat each evening. So perhaps that means a "right-side sleeper" gets an "RSS" in their file, while a left-sider gets an "LSS."
If I were the housekeeper, I might give a particularly messy guest whose room requires extra time to clean might get an "MT" next to their name for "more time" if I'm feeling generous - or, more likely, an "RS" for "room slob."
Someone who loves to use lots of toilet paper might get a TPH for "toilet paper hog."
I could go on and on, but instead, I'll turn the pen over to you!
So, dear readers, here's my question: What description would you expect your restaurant - or hotel - to use for you? (Funny replies welcome and encouraged!) Hoteliers: If you already use weird acronyms to describe us, please fill us in.

Revealing New York's Secrets
Psst... want to hear a secret? We're uncovering some of the city's coolest hidden gems. With pop-up restaurants, under the radar spots, abandoned subway stations and historic buildings, New York is one big mystery waiting to be uncovered.
Here are some of the city's secrets we've found so far:
Inactive since 1945, the station is unlike any other, boasting glass skylights, tiled vaults, arches and brass chandeliers. The City Hall Subway Station can be seen from the 6 train heading south to the Brooklyn Bridge Station. The trick is to not get off, stay on while the train turns around the City Hall loop, giving you a view of the now closed station. Or, if you are a member of the Transit Museum you can have the rare opportunity to explore the station up close.
Located in the East Village it is the oldest non-denominational public burial ground. The deceased are buried in marble vaults underground and there are no tombstones, only plaques. Founded in 1830, the cemetery is well-hidden amongst buildings and those who gaze out at it often are unaware that it is actually a cemetery.
Those who possess a Bank of America card are privy to free admission on the first weekend of every month to 7 museums in the city including:
- Metropolitan Museum of Art
- Staten Island Children's Museum
- New York Historical Society
- Whitney Museum of American Art
- Brooklyn Children's Museum
- Queens Museum of Art
- The International Center of Photography
Habesha Nights is a secret dinner party series that combines vegan Ethiopian eating and drinking traditions with contemporary music, art and spaces. To find out when and where the pop-up dinner spot will take place you have to keep checking their website.
It's NYC's largest jail complex and one of the country's most notorious jails residing on an island between Queens and the Bronx. Once used as military training ground during the Civil War, the island was turned into a jail that became known for violence and has housed several famous prisoners including: Tupac Shakur, Sid Vicious, Lil Wayne and more. The prison is difficult to find, as it is often omitted from maps, has no marked signs and there is only one way onto the island. The Q100 MTA bus takes you across the unmarked bridge to the entrance of the facility.
46th Street Loew's Theatre
A theatre that once entertained New York's finest and has hosted numerous famous acts including Jerry Lee Lewis, The Bee Gees and Grateful Dead has been forgotten and turned into a storage facility. It was the first atmospheric theater in the city and was once a symbol of grandeur.
Berlin Wall remnants
Located in Paley Park at 520 Madison Avenue there is a section of the Berlin Wall measuring 12 feet high and 20 feet long. It is often unnoticed by passersby, however there are tables and chairs in front where people can contemplate and reflect. Although often overlooked, the wall does stand out and can't be missed once you realize what it is.
New York is home to many secret restaurants and Zenkichi (an authentic Japanese restaurant in Williamsburg) takes the cake for hiding spots. The door is a wood paneled wall with simply the number 77 above a dilapidated looking entrance. Once you find the hidden entrance, even the restaurant itself gives off a new feel as the tables are semi private and you must use a buzzer to call your waiter.
No Name Thai Shop in No Name Bar
Another favorite hidden restaurant that is so secretive it doesn't even have a name. Located in the basement of No Name Bar is a Thai shop that dishes up some of the best Bok Choy and Noodle Soup in the city. The restaurant is located at 597 Manhattan Avenue in Brooklyn and you can find it in what looks like a run -own building with wood paneling in the front.
In a city as big as New York, we'll never be able to uncover all of its secret hidden gems but we can try! Once you discover a secret place, you'll want to keep searching for more, so don't wait, start exploring now!

I know it's a well-used saying, "Time flies when you're having fun," but it means a little more to me as my oldest child turns 17 today.
I hesitated a bit before writing an editorial about my son Alex, but then I decided that this is one of the perks of being Managing Editor of a newspaper, right? Plus, he deserves the kudos!
Being a mom was one of the first dreams I remember having. Growing up, our house was full of kids. My cousins were always at our house because my mom loved children and always enjoyed having little ones running around.
I am grateful that I had my cousins around me all of the time. Today I am still close to so many of them and a few of them I consider to be my best friends. I'm sure that is where my love of kids comes from!
I know that is where my dream of being a mom started.
It was a long journey with several obstacles along the way but Alex came into our lives on a gorgeous day in 1996! He was beautiful! I'm not just saying that because he's my kid—I literally got stopped all the time so that people could tell me how beautiful he was.
As he has grown-up he has also become a beautiful soul!
He is kind and gracious and so funny! That kid can really make me laugh!
Yes, he is a teenager and comes with "teenage problems" but I have watched him grow into a hardworking "almost-adult" and am proud to be able to call him my son.
I'll just put it out there! I am one of those moms who is dreading the day her son leaves the nest. It truly depresses me to think of him moving out. I'm sure I will be kicking and screaming as he hugs me goodbye and may just have to check into the hospital for a week or two to get over my depression!!
Alex is fully aware of this upcoming dilemma and just gives me his sly smile and full dimple when I express my concern!
Alex is a treasure and I have no doubt he will be a successful adult who will be a huge contributor to society. He will be a wonderful husband and father and I know he will continue to be the amazing son he always has been. I am proud to be called "Alex's Mom" which is how many people know me.
Yes, I have a tear or two in my eyes as I write this and I am hoping that this "time" that is flying by so quickly slows down just a bit for at least the next two years so I can continue to relish in every moment that I have him home with me.
I will continue to treasure the quick "I love you Mom" texts I get from him and will encourage him to keep them up even after he moves on to bigger and better things!
For now, I hope Alex has the happiest of birthdays because he truly does deserve it!
Happy Birthday to my favorite son!

Graduation gives us that rare opportunity, when we salute an ending, a new beginning and the pride we have in our graduate's accomplishments. Milestones like this call for a party, and Favor Affair's graduation favors will make your celebration even more memorable for both the guests and your graduate!

From the Delaware Division of Natural Resources
-- Volunteer birdwatchers are assisting the Division of Fish and Wildlife with its second annual productivity survey on the location and number of wild turkeys in the state.
The data will help biologists track the health, distribution and reproductive success of the states wild turkeys with the goal of ensuring a sustainable harvest of this treasured game species.
Today, Delaware has a thriving wild turkey population that allows for an annual turkey hunting season, but this was not always the case. The reintroduction of the wild turkey back to Delaware nearly 200 years after it became locally extinct, remains one of the Divisions greatest success stories, said wildlife biologist Matthew DiBona.
Beginning in early 1984, with support from the National Wild Turkey Federation, Division biologists released 34 wild-trapped turkeys from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Vermont into Sussex and Kent counties. Reintroductions continued through the 1990s, and once the population had established a foothold in Delaware, a hunting season was started. Today, the Division has a healthy statewide population estimated at 4,000 birds.
To help ensure the continued success of wild turkeys in Delaware, the Division needs information on their distribution and annual reproductive success. One simple and cost-effective method is to have volunteers record and report sightings of turkeys during their day-to-day activities.
The 2011 survey period begins July 1 and continues through Aug. 31. Upon sighting turkeys, participants are asked to record the date, county and number of adult hens, gobblers and poults they observe. Participants will submit results by Sept. 10.
Last year, 27 participants submitted a total of 77 observations that provided valuable insight on turkey production last season. Reports indicated that reproductive success was fair to good last year in the southern part of the state. No observations were received from the area north of the C&D Canal.
This season, the Division hopes to increase participation and generate more observations from every corner of the state, DiBona said. Wed especially like to get some observations from northern New Castle County so the whole statewide turkey population will be represented.
A summary of last years survey results, as well as a new data sheet and instructions for volunteers is available online.
For more information, contact Wildlife Biologist Matthew DiBona at (302)735-3600.

I'm Selling Stocks, Moving to Cash; Should You?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Don't hate this rally! You'll finish down if you wait for an up market to invest.
I concur. Long-term investors who try to time the market or invest on the basis of sentiment tend to do more harm than good.
Generally speaking, buy, hold, reinvest dividends and buy more makes perfect sense for most long-term portfolios. This approach, however, can ignore time, circumstance and the personal component of investing.
Investment advisors often attach model portfolios to different types of clients; If you're 37, married, live in a two-income household and have a young child, follow this strategy.How many pros actually sit down with clients and discuss unique goals and the practical ramifications of a customer's financial reality? If you're dealing with folks in the sub-$1 million category, quantity matters so you churn and burn model portfolios. Few people ever question the advice. Smart investors should. I relay details of my own personal situation to help illustrate the notion that nuance exists in personal finance. When we share personal experiences we help others, even though we're not necessarily telling them what to do. If nothing else, my willingness to disclose might lead a few readers to assess their own unique circumstances and find my thought process useful in informing their own process.
Why I'm Transitioning to 80% CashI'm the 37-year old guy, married with a young child in a two-income household. As much as I believe in the power of stock investing, particularly dividend-paying growth stocks, I did some near- and long-term planning and came to somewhat atypical conclusions. First, I thought about my primary goals, objectives and concerns. The things that keep me up at night, in no particular order, are:
- I want the ability to retire and work only as much as I desire ASAP.
- Put the kid through college.
- Cut expenses as much as possible; reduce fixed expenses, but have the ability to live a similar quality of life in retirement; travel; work sparingly.
- No debt and no rent or mortgage payments.
- We pay about $2,000 a month in rent -- a relative bargain given our location.
- In less than a year, we will have, with the exception of pesky student loans (I got burned by the private student loan scheme), no debt. Even our one car will be paid off.
- We have seen considerable monthly cash flow over the last two years.
- We have a more-than-ample emergency fund.

WASHINGTON, August 12, 2013 — Advocates and opponents of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), the state-led effort that establishes a single set of clear educational standards, have grown increasingly vocal. Forty-five states, the District of Columbia and four U.S. territories have already adopted CCSS, which sets standards for grades K through 12 in English, language arts and mathematics.
The genesis of CCSS was three-fold. First was the desire to create a set of common standards that more effectively measured both teaching and learning and would hold both teachers and students accountable for learning outcomes. This would make possible interventions to ensure that teachers were teaching effectively and to ensure that students effectively understood what they were taught.
SEE RELATED: Education and training: A new kind of welfare
Second was cost efficiency. Creating a set of curriculum standards that all states could afford and adopt would create a bigger marketplace for all states involved, as opposed to a system of assessment designed by each individual state which might measure different areas differently.
Third was the desire to de-politicize education reform efforts by putting the design and implementation in the hands of parents and educators. This would take these decisions out of the hands of legislators, who might support or oppose measures based on influence from special interest groups in their particular geographic areas. This also would prevent states from creating rubrics that could potentially cover up deficiencies in teaching or learning.
Opponents of CCSS voiced concerns about increased costs, a federal takeover of state education systems, and lowering the bar on current educational standards. Supporters cited the benefits of common benchmarks and higher curriculum standards and long-term savings to the current cost of remedial courses taken by students who enter college unprepared for college-level coursework.
The Common Core State Standards curriculum was developed by the national Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the National Governors Association (NGA) with input from parents, teachers, education experts and school administrators from across the country. The CCSS website clarifies that adopting the CCSS is an independent choice that individual state boards of education make with no intervention from the U.S. Department of Education:
SEE RELATED: Asking Aaron Clarey: Does college prepare people for the real world?
"States across the country collaborated with teachers, researchers, and leading experts to design and develop the Common Core State Standards. Each state independently made the decision to adopt the Common Core State Standards."
One critic of CCSS, Emmett McGroarty with the American Principles Project, said "The Common Core is highly defective. In short, with English Language Arts what you have is a greater emphasis on dry informational text in place of classic literature. In math it ushers in fuzzy math which delays the learning progression, causes the Common Core to jettison important concepts like prime factorization and conversions among fractions, decimals and percents. It delays the learning progression so that by 8th grade, according to Professor James Milgram of Stanford, Common Core students would be about 2 years behind their peers in high performing countries. He says it only gets worst after that."
Offering a response in defense of CCSS, Patricia Levesque a former deputy Chief of Staff for Education to Florida Governor Jeb Bush and current CEO of the Foundation for Excellence in Education, said in a recent radio interview, "what is coming is a set of state adopted, because states individually adopted through their constitutional or legislative or executive branch process, these academic standards and they have been adopted in most states for a couple of years.
"Parents needs to understand how fantastic these standards are going to be for their children, because for the first time we actually started by looking at college and career readiness. In many states across the country, including mine, the old kindergarten math standard was students needed to be able to count from 1-10. And the new math standard is kids need to count from 1 to 100 starting at any number and from 36-0 backwards.
"That puts my child on a better playing field so that when he graduates in the future, he will be able to be competitive with kids with China and Hong Kong and it finally gives us a standard where we will not have … of the students right now in our country who earn a high school diploma, only 25 percent are ready for college course work. Every year families and taxpayers spend $3 billion on remediation."
U.S. Department of Education spokesperson Elaine Quesinberry says that some confusion has arisen from the Department's support for state curriculum standards that emphasized college- and career-readiness as part of their respective applications for federal grants, and quoted Secretary of Education Arne Duncan:
"I believe the Common Core State Standards may prove to be the single greatest thing to happen to public education in America since Brown versus Board of Education — and the federal government had nothing to do with creating them. The federal government didn't write them, didn't approve them, and doesn't mandate them. And we never will. Anyone who says otherwise is either misinformed or willfully misleading."
Secretary Duncan further said:
"Now, I will tell you what we did do, and then you can do your job by confirming it and by questioning anyone who says otherwise — because all kinds of people are saying all kinds of things that are simply not true … Race to the Top, awarded points — 40 points out of 500 — to states that were collaborating to create common college- and career-ready standards. It was voluntary — we didn't mandate it — but we absolutely encouraged this state-led work because it is good for kids and good for the country."
The debate over which CCSS assessments will be available for the 2014-2015 school year is on-going. Two organizations won the federal Race To The Top assessment competition, and each is offering differing perspectives on single-subject exams versus general knowledge exams.
One of these organizations is the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC). PARCC is developing an annual exam that is expected to assess how students are tracking for college- and career-readiness and mastery of the CCSS. The exam is expected to cost $29.50 per student. The other is Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), which focuses on formative and summative assessments which identify gaps in teaching or learning performance. It will cost $22.50 per student.
Skeptics continue to suggest that these two groups are funded at the behest of the Obama Administration as a circuitous way of nationalizing education and limiting states' rights, without the federal government having to actually violate state statutes that prevent the it from controlling state boards of education.
Disagreement also continues as to whether the standards will match up to the high standards of Massachusetts and other states with high-performing school systems and whether states can amend the standards once adopted. As it stands now, states that voluntarily adopt the CCSS can add 15 percent to them but cannot reduce any of the standards.
Interestingly, the push-back is not coming from the states that have adopted the standards, but from groups like www.stopcommoncore.com. CCSS proponents like www.highercorestandards.org are responding to their claims. Most states that have adopted the CCSS have already begun implementation, and other states like Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Michigan are now holding hearings to move forward with implementation and decide which assessment exam the states will use.
Some state legislatures have passed bills to withdraw from CCSS, but so far only Texas, Virginia, Nebraska, and Alaska have withdrawn from CCSS. They are considering going with C-Scope. C-Scope is a K-12 educational curriculum designed by the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC). Texas quickly learned that some C-Scope lesson plans contained controversial lessons that depicted the Boston Tea Party as an act of terrorism, advocated a communist form of government, and denigrated Christianity while seemingly promoting Islam, according to the Daily Caller. The last day of the Texas contact with C-Scope is August 31, 2013 and it is still unknown whether or not Texas will rejoin the CCSS.
The one area of this national conversation everyone agrees on is that the U.S. lags behind countries like Finland, South Korea, Canada, and eleven other nations whose students consistently outrank American students year after year, according to the Program for international Student Assessment (PISA). Everyone also agrees that improved student learning outcomes are necessary for the U.S. to remain competitive both domestically and internationally in decades to come.

Which one do you do? Up until this semester all my life that I've lifted I've done it at night. Now my schedule forces me to do it mid day in between class. I am a night person so I have tons of energy at night and moreso than I do in the earlier part of the day, but im starting to like lifting mid day.
Plus you get a pump for the rest of the day, and you have a nice boost of energy. One night a week I still lift at night though.

Know the Price You Are Willing to
Sometimes you get so entangled in saving your company at all costs, you might realize too late that you've gone past the point of recovery. The devastation of business failure and bankruptcy can destroy your personal relationships, ruin your health and generally make life miserable. So before you get caught up in the adrenaline rush, ask yourself, "What price am I willing to pay for success?" Draw a line in the sand-commit to a time limit or level of debt, and don't cross that line.
"At the end of the day, you must keep your family together. You may have to take a second job while growing the business," notes B. Tyler Sory, founder of benefits consulting firm SCA Corp. in Brentwood, Tennessee.
Sory ought to know. His business is successful now, but that certainly didn't happen overnight. "My family has struggled for my dream," says Sory, 31. "We have been broke; we've eaten Ramen noodles for three weeks, had our utilities disconnected, our cars repossessed and been evicted. When you start with nothing, you have to risk everything."
If you find yourself in this type of situation, you have to know where that line in the sand is. Says Sory, "Money is money-but losing your family is the biggest risk."
Refocus & Redefine
As an entrepreneur, you have to constantly evaluate what is and isn't working. You have to refocus, redefine and even reinvent your business to meet a changing market.
When Schutz returned from the 2000 Sydney Olympics, she went through a divorce-not to mention the transition from constant training to running her business full time. And after 9/11, the demand for design services slowed dramatically. So Schutz shifted gears, studying construction basics to take her designs off the page to three-dimensional. She is considering becoming an architect and helping to reconstruct New York City. "The down times are a perfect time to focus on new skills and techniques," she says. "When the opportunities do arise, you will be better prepared."
Both Frumovitz and Tarzian underwent similar transformations. When Frumovitz's firm went from boom to bust, he re-evaluated his business model, diversifying his client base from technology firms to include traditional brick-and-mortar companies. He also merged his practice with established tax and real estate attorney Robert A. Briskin, forming Briskin & Frumovitz, and refocused the practice on corporate, tax and intellectual property law for growing companies.
Likewise, when the economy slowed and unemployment rose, Tarzian redefined her business plan, developing a niche market. She created a survey linking brand image to the hiring process that was published in multiple mediums, generating over 22,000 hits on her Web site. Still, Tarzian doesn't ever allow herself to get too relaxed: "The moment I get too comfortable is the moment I will make a mistake. I'm always on the lookout for how I can further differentiate myself from my competition and add value."
Partner With Your
Isolation extinguishes the entrepreneurial spirit. Often, the hardest part of having a small business is not having anyone to bounce ideas off of and help shoulder the stress. Given the right circumstances, partnering with a trusted friend or your spouse can relieve some of the pressure.
When the Internet company where Daisy Ramirez had been working as a distribution center manager folded, she and her husband, James, talked over the possibility of Daisy joining him in his two-person Placentia, California, business. Although the newlyweds were confident that Daisy's strategic thinking and financial background, coupled with James' technology skills and customer relationships, could take the company to the next level, they knew it was a gamble-Daisy had provided the couple's financial stability.
The couple decided that the benefits of working together and supporting each other outweighed the risk. Daisy joined James in Pacific Time Systems, a time and attendance software and hardware solutions company, in September 2001, and together they struggled through the slow economy. Daisy did consulting work for her former employer to tide the company over while James worked on building the business. "We would have been in dire financial straits without the consulting work," adds Daisy, 31. "But the biggest advantage of being in business with James is that we have control of the outcome. If we work 15-hour days, we see the benefit-in my corporate job, my salary stayed the same. If I'm going to work this hard, let it be for me and for my family."
Find Your Courage
In judo and in life, there is a difference between pain and injury. You must never surrender. If you can withstand the pain and keep fighting, you might go on to win the gold. "When you train for the Olympics, you expect things to go as you plan, just as you do in business and in life," says Schutz. "When they do, it's great. But I've discovered that I learned the most during times of struggle. I came back stronger each time."

American Idol Results: A Shocking Saveby Miranda Wicker at . Comments
Last night the American Idol Top 7 performed songs released in the past two years. This "theme" was a good one because it allowed some of the contestants to show what kind of artist they'd be if they released a record right now. But last night wasn't a great night for everyone.
Let's hear what our pal Jimmy had to say about last night's show and find out who, if anyone, will be leaving. Remember, the judges still have a save in play for at least two more weeks.
Before we get any results, we get what may be the most awkward group sing in the history of Idol. They're all singing Pink's "Raise Your Glass." And dancing. Awkwardly. Idol, this isn't Glee. They've done this already, and they did it better. TV Fanatic commenters called you out on it last night and I'm calling you out on this insanity right now. Stop this nonsense.
Hollie Cavanagh and Jessica Sanchez hit the floor first. Jimmy starts by complimenting both girls on their technical abilities, but says Hollie's performance was "contrived and stiff" and Jessica, hands down, won the night between the two girls. Jimmy's correct on both accounts. Hollie can't get out of her own head and Jessica is clearly the better performer.
Hollie's told to start a group on the right side of the stage. Jessica starts a group on the left.
Tonight's the night where they'll ask the seventh and final person to choose which group is the bottom three and which group is the top four. This night always puts the seventh contestant in an awkward place, if you ask me, and I've never been more proud than when David Archuleta decided to just sit down in the middle of the stage and NOT choose a group.
Idol alum James Durbin is back tonight performing the upcoming single "Higher Than Heaven" from his debut album. He's changed his hair and looks like a slim Guy Fieri. My only comment is about his appearance, so that should tell you what I think about his performance.
Up next, Elise Testone and Phillip Phillips take the stage. Jimmy says they're both singer-songwriters, without the songs, which makes them character singers and not technical singers. He comments on Phillip's heavy Dave Matthews Band influence in last night's Maroon 5 number and thinks Phillip could find himself in the bottom three. As for Elise, Jimmy didn't think she did enough. Jimmy's correct in one regard--these two are definitely suited for the singer-songwriter genre. Until we can hear Phillip perform his own songs, we'll hear Phillip perform the songs of others in his own signature way. The same goes for Elise, though I'd counter Jimmy in that she CAN be a technical singer when she needs to be.
Ryan sends Phillip to stand with Hollie and Elise to stand with Jessica. And now I'm a little nervous.
Another Idol alum, Jennifer Hudson, performs "Think Like A Man" with Ne-Yo. Her performance is maybe the best guest performance we've seen all season, but I expect nothing less from someone as talented and driven as she is.
Colton Dixon, Joshua Ledet, and Skylar Laine remain. Joshua and Colton head to Ryan's podium. Jimmy says they both did well last night, and Joshua's performance was a perfect, contemporary song. Colton, he says, is a singer-songwriter without the song (not unlike Elise and Phillip). Last night was a good night for Joshua because it made him relevant. Colton's known since he got into this who he wants to be and what kind of records he wants to make. Jimmy, once again, is correct about both guys.
Joshua is sent to stand in the group with Jessica and Elise. Colton joins Hollie and Phillip.
So now it's Skylar's turn to hear her critique from Jimmy. Jimmy calls Skylar a singer-songwriter AND a technical singer and thinks Skylar had one of the best performances of the night. Jimmy and I differ in our thoughts about Skylar. I don't think she's a particularly technical singer. I think she's a talented country singer, but I don't think she's very technical. At least not in the way that Jessica is and Hollie can be.
Ryan tells Skylar she's safe and cells her to choose the group she thinks is safe. She refuses and heads to the couch. (Atta girl, Skylar!) And then Ryan puts her in the group with Hollie, Phillip, and Colton. Which means the four of them are safe.
Jessica, Joshua, and Elise are in the bottom three. And my mouth is hanging open. Before any of them can even be declared the eliminated contestant, Steven vows that the judges will be using their save tonight with no question.
Joshua is sent back to the couches leaving Elise and Jessica standing on the stage. Ryan sends Elise back to safety next meaning Jessica Sanchez is singing for the save.
She's clearly shaken up and begins singing her save song and before she's two lines in, J.Lo's on the stage wrestling the mic away from her with Randy and Steven hot on her high heels. Randy declares her "the best singer in America" and says there's no way they're sending her home tonight.
So, Jessica's safe for one more week. But next week, two will go home.
What'd you think, America? Were you shocked that Jessica received the fewest number of votes last night?

I think there must be too many Mickey's out there, hence the reason the best contestants ended up in the bottom three...ie Joshua, Jessica & Elise.
First of all Jessica is Mexican/Filipina/American, not a "Fil-Am;" get your facts straight. If she would have been white, she would have been gone, no doubt. Colton or Skylar will win, I'm sure of it. Phil Phillips can't carry a tune in a bucket and Joshua has the personality of a sock, zero chance for him. This isn't just a singing contest, unfortunately; race, age, persona, etc. play a huge part in A.I. Jessica, Joshua and Elise don't have it, neither does Hollie. Stop crying racism, it's tiresome and redundant! I detest J-Blo (Ms. Overrated Screecher) but defer to her pseudo-expertise. Lay off Steven Tyler, the man's a rock god, forgive his lost brain cells.
@Thomas.......go on youtube and look up THE VOICE.................
r mcnabb, I'm in New Zealand & have to say that I'm not familiar with the singing contest 'The Voice' as it does not view here, but the judges on idol are not judging 'The Voice' are they? so if they are only judging the contestants in idol I'd say they have it right & if the judges are hung up on Joshua maybe it's it simply because they recognise him as the best, which I'd say he most definitely is.
I'd really like to know though just who these two African American singers in 'The Voice' are so I can listen to them & see is they are really that much better than Joshua...so until then I'm holding my breath.
The judges have it wrong. They are so hung up on Joshua that they ignore everyone else. The Voice has two African American singers that are much better than Joshua. People are fed up with their standing ovations for him.
I think the judges have every right to say or suggest that the voters got it wrong, the judges have the musical knowledge that most of the voters don't & how many times does it have to be said that this is a singing contest so let's once & for all forget about who looks the cutest etc & vote for the best singers but I'm still not too confident this is going to happen sometime soon.
Wow Miranda… with controversy comes comments and there are plenty this time! Congrats on your bambino, which you slyly and coolly slipped into one of your blogs, I hope you are both doing well. Well, I can say that I only wish political voting had even a fraction of as much passion (and relative numbers) we're seeing here. Lots of OPINIONS on who the best really is. I'm not going to bother entering that part of the fray, but I will say that I agree that the judges did a HUGE disservice to the "rest� of the Idols. Just let her sing and use the save like everyone else has ever done. In any case, no saves left so now… it's TRULY up to America. I would appear that all of these final contestants could very possibly have some form of successful musical career, so winning it all matters less, I think.
What I was shocked about was the judges obvious favortism of a contestant. I call "Foul". Steven saying before the bottom contestant is even announced that they'll use their save takes all pressure off the bottom three knowing none of them are going home and then the judges rushing the stage and not making Jessica at least sing her song, like they make everyone else do, is extremely unfair to the other contestants and all the contestants who have already been sent home. Everyone else had to wait wracked with nerves until after the announcement of who was safe and who was going home on the previous shows and no matter how upset they were they had to sing their songs. Why were the rules different for Jessica. I like the girl but fair is fair. I also think Randy announcing America got it wrong was pretty rude. The show is about America voting and America did. How dare he say the opinion of the people was wrong. And how does that make the other contestants feel? The whole thing was tacky.
I think Hollie is the best and should win, Jessica is good but it is the people's vote that counts. The judges are a disgrace if it happened to Hollie they would not be able to get her off quick enough... Based on vocal range alone...I think Jessica is better than Hollie...but overall liking of a singer is very subjective...so every person will have a different view on who's the better singer among all the idol finalist. I appreciate the effort of the Judges into guiding the voters on who has the better overall qualities to become the next American Idol...but it should just end there...they should not publicly show their feelings on who they think is the best and who should win... I think jessica...because of what the judges did...will land in the top three...but will not win it all... she will however, have a Jennifer Hudson pattern of a career i predict..

LST-949 was laid down on 29 August 1944 at Hingham, Mass., by the Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard, Inc.; launched on 30 September 1944; and commissioned on 23 October 1944, Lt. Thomas J. Twohig, USNR, in command.
During World War II, LST-949 was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theater and participated in the assault and occupation of Okinawa Gunto from April through June 1945. On 15 September 1945, she was redesignated LSTH-949 and performed occupation duty in the Far East until mid-April 1946. The ship returned to the United States and was decommissioned on 18 July 1946 and struck from the Navy list on 25 September that same year. On 30 June 1948, she was sold to the Humble Oil & Refining Co., of Houston, Tex., for operation.
LST-949 earned one battle star for World War II service.

KSP Day 3 Round-Up
September 25, 2011: With a solid breeze mid-morning on day three of the KSP One Eye Pro, Round 1 of the men's division resumed. Kiting on 7- to 9-meter kites, competitors once again had phenomenal waves ? 4 to 6 feet (Hawaiian), 8- to 12-foot faces. Scoring each rider on up to 15 waves per heat, judges rated each wave ridden on a scale of .1 to 10 and combined each rider's two top waves for a total potential score of 20.
Indonesian resident Marc Ramseier (Switzerland) showed a lot of commitment with his powerful, full rail turns in the pulsing surf to score an impressive 9.27 and 8.77 ? totaling to 18.04 ? the highest score of Round 1. Jesse Richman (Hawaii), Patri McLaughlin (Hawaii/North) and Sky Solbach (USA/North), all riding strapless, scored in the 14- to 16-point range, exhibiting a high degree of speed, power and control with top to bottom surfing. John Amundson (Hawaii/North), Bruno Bordowsky (Brazil) and Oswald Smith (South Africa), riding in straps, also scored in a similar range.
Women's Round 1 came next. Murdering 12 waves during her 15-minute heat, local wave slayer Ninja Bichler (Germany) scored a remarkable 18.1 for seamlessly linking big arching turns, big hits under the lip, long rides and even some switchstance surfing. Earning 16.06, the second highest score of Women's Round 1, Ines Correira (Portugal) destroyed her fair share of waves as well.
Before the day's end, Men's Round 2 kicked off, featuring head-to-head competition between riders who didn't advance from Round 1. Of the five heats completed (out of 8), Jeremy Eloy (France/North), 2010 Kite Surf World Champion Guilly Brandao (Brazil), Juan Pabloo Diban (Chile), 2008 World Champion Mitu Monteiro (Cabo Verde) and Bruno Bordowsky (Brazil) advanced. Eloy, Monteiro and Brandao, all riding strapped, were the standouts with scores in the 14.2 to 16.3 range. Brandao attacked the lip with his patented backhand snaps while Eloy opted to keep busy, picking off as many set waves as possible. Monteiro found one of the few cover-ups of the day through the inside bowl on his forehand.
The forecast for tomorrow promises another day of great wind and swell (likely a bit smaller than today, but building in the late afternoon). Conditions permitting, Men's Round 2 will resume in the a.m., followed by Women's Round 2 and so forth.

The Farmer Probably Just Wants a Shag...
6 comments:
very good jessie, did you really do this @ 5 in the morning? look forward to more. love maryanneReplyDelete
No-more like 10pm at night. Next time I will do it at a decent hour so that I can edit it beforehand.ReplyDelete
I thought that was great, I keep threatening my daughter she needs to go on that program, she's 29 single, loves animals, and ... know any goodlooking tanned farmers looking for a tall bottle blond. She can ride and has no problem with sticking her hand up a cows backside done a little vet nursing too.ReplyDelete
Might have to keep looking ...
Just found your post via Bush Belles. I hear you!ReplyDelete
I too married a farmer after working in a small country town... Not a lifestyle, hobby, Country Style type farmer but a proper, many thousands of acres, bloody hard work type farmer... Our life is wonderful but there are no passengers... even the kids know how to work. ( I lucked in with my in-laws though, they are lovely and live 10km away on a different farm....)
I will follow your blog and look forward to seeing how it goes!
Just came over from Life in the COuntry. Love this post!ReplyDelete
It could be worse though. I spent my teen years in a mining town. cringe. I was sooooo outta there..
I met my wife in the military. She was (and remains)beautiful, and that mattered. But she was a country girl, her father a Texan and her mother from Mississippi. She had grown up in Africa, as a missionary kid. She knew I planned to leave the service and move out as far into the mountains as I could get away from people, and she accepted that. Now, 31 years later, I still can't believe what a good wife she is, and how lucky I was she accepted me. Very few women could have put up with this life style for so long, and been such a good partner and workmate.ReplyDelete

So I could add and manage the actual slave zones via ISPConfig.
I didn't want to MySQL replicate a huge amount of otherwise useless (to this server) database content and so far my tests with mirroring ISPConfig to other servers has not been very satisfactory. I'm still not clear on how to manage other servers from a single centralised instance of ISPConfig and I needed this particular slave server up and running asap and using lighttpd and its non-fast CGI module was the quickest path to get it all working on such a small VPS.

Youth! Arts! Science!
As a child, Wolfgang Rihm wanted to be a painter, then a writer and finally a composer. Entire groups of works illustrate his close relationship with the visual arts, while numerous artist friendships give testament to the constant flow of energy between Wolfgang Rihm and painting.
His anti-cyclical 'over-painting' of works that seem to grow from one germ cell has led to large-scale open series and complexes of works. Starting with his Chiffren and Tutuguri cycles from the 1980s, Rihm made it clear that in his flow of music, form generates itself from beginnings and endings of music. The works Gedrängte Form and Gejagte Form, all the way to his Jagden und Formen (1995–2001), are eloquent examples of this, already evoking the principle of continuous shaping within their titles.
By now, there are three of Rihm's Will Sound works: Will Sound More (2005/2011) is clearly differentiated from the wild movement of its predecessor Will Sound (2005) by its lyrical moments. 'Something will sound because it wants to sound', Rihm wrote about this: 'The composer follows the will and the process of becoming and notates the spaces in between. The result is a form which reflects the energy wanting to shape itself.' Expanding the work further, the composer has written Will Sound More Again, first performed in October 2011. With their free interplay of musical forces and their existence-affirming attitude, these Will Sound works are also an extension of his Jagden und Formen into a new complex of works.
The world premiere of a new piano concerto by Wolfgang Rihm is an event to look forward to particularly. Rihm began to compose piano music as a teenager. A first piano concerto is dated 1969. One year later and for a period of one decade exactly, he created seven very different and expansive piano works which set standards in contemporary piano literature on account of their playing technique, sensuality of sound, energy and aesthetics. Nachstudie for piano (1992/1994), lasting almost half an hour and placing enormous demands on the pianist as a whole, can be considered the crowning highlight of his piano oeuvre so far.
The entire experience of his life as a composer so far, all his studies of tradition – despite all outside interference – and all his visions for the history of piano music, far from complete: Wolfgang Rihm will bring them all to bear on his new piano concerto for pianist Tzimon Barto. One thing we can be sure of: musical balance will be attained through great arches of tension, through an audible 'cutting into one's own flesh' and an articulation of tradition 'which can only ever be my tradition': 'There are no historical models anymore, but there are positions which define a Now with a view to a Past (not derived from it), allowing us to see the Past as another Now (that of the past).'

When we first sat down with Entertainment Tonight (ET) anchor Mark Steines in his office on the newly built ET lot in October 2008, we had no idea what to expect. The premise of the meeting was that ET could potentially do some kind of a book project with Blurb and maybe even feature us on their show (the highest rated entertainment show in the world!). We were, of course, flattered to be considered. But having some experience with the Hollywood set, my expectations were appropriately tempered.
What happened next was magical, and inspiring.
Mark spent almost four hours with us, walking us around the set on a personal tour, introducing us to his people, and sharing with us his vision for an upcoming project that sounded at the very least ambitious, and at most impossible. He told us of his plans to travel to Sierra Leone on a medical mission, photograph the journey, and publish a Blurb book that he could sell to raise money for the cause. He even had the vision for the launch party, down to the set layout and the music to accompany his photography presentation.
This was October 2008; the trip was to take place the following April. Even with Mark being one of the most sincere people I've ever met, I maintained my tempered expectations. This is Hollywood. This is a long project. Lots can happen between now and April. And then the book has to be made …
Cut to May 2009. Mark's office. He's back from Sierra Leone, with 10,000 photographs.
A few months and many long hours of Photoshop, design work, and scrutiny later, and here we are. Mark's book, "See the Light, A Passage to Sierra Leone," is now available in the Blurb Bookstore, as both a 10×8 Standard Landscape book, and a 13×11 Large Landscape book, with 100% of the profits going directly to the Lighthouse Medical Missions. The official launch party takes place later this month on the ET set. It's all real, thanks to Mark's vision and drive, and his willingness to make it real.
Mark is one of the most genuine, passionate, and talented people we've had the pleasure of working with. Please check out his book, and support this wonderful cause (his video blog about the book can be seen here). We're honored to be involved in bringing this project to life, and we thank Mark and Lighthouse Medical Missions for the opportunity.
Below is just one of the incredible spreads in Mark's book. Mark's team saw unbelievable poverty, heartbreaking sickness, and desperation. They also, however, saw inexplicable joy and sincere gratitude. And somehow, he captured it all on film.

Legal Question in Consumer Law in North Carolina
I rent from an apartment complex; we signed our lease and moved in the first week of July (Saturday). We hired a moving company to move our things, and the same day our new washer and dryer was delivered. My husband was there while moving in, and he noticed before the delivery guys left there were scratches on the floor. He asked them about them and they said the scratches would come up easily with some cleaner. After I got home, I noticed there were a few gouges in the floor. On Monday, he called them and set up a claim. Near the end of the week, they told him to send in 2 estimates (at their expense). We sent in within the next week, and their first response was the estimates were too high. So we agreed they could choose someone to do another estimate. A few weeks go by, they finally send another estimate guy out. About a week or two after that, we get a letter that says basically we will fix the floor and the last guy should contact you about setting up the repair time/day at our expense. However, about three weeks go by he never contacts us. So my husband calls the company back again, and they give him the run around about how they claim they didn't mess the floor up. The manager keeps asking to set up a time to come over to personally look at the damage, but then he never shows. My husband talked to him last week, in which the manager asked him if he had received a second letter. He replied no and this week we received a letter dated Oct postmarked last week that said after our investigation we have decided not to fix the floor. And if we do not hear from you by Oct 26th we will close the claim. This company is making no attempt to fix my floor or attempts to call us. Each time my husband has had to call them. They sent the letter that said they were fixing it, and now they decide they aren't. Can I sue them? When I move out of the apartment, they will come after me for the damages that we didn't do.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Yes, you can sue them, but the issue will be who caused the damages...which they will likely deny in Court. You need to gather whatever evidence you can that they did this and sue them for the cost to repair.

Chicago -- Evangelist Billy Graham speaks to members of 18 rival gangs in a youth center in Chicago, June 9. Gang leaders sat in the front rows and their lieutenants and members took seats behind them. "Jesus was a tough guy," Graham told them. The teen-agers, some 175 in all, listened quietly and not one of them left until Graham had finished. (1962)

Time magazine named three real-life whistleblowers its People of the Year last month, so maybe moviegoers are ready for a drama about a real-life whistleblower. Variety reports that Matt Damon is reuniting with ''Ocean's Eleven'' director Steven Soderbergh to tell such a story, an adaptation of New York Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald's book ''The Informer,'' about a corporate giant brought to justice by one of its employees.
Damon would play Mark Whitacre, who worked for agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland, and who leaked details of a price-fixing scam that ultimately resulted in a $100 million fine for the company. It's not clear when the Warner Bros. movie would shoot; Soderbergh's next project for the studio is ''Ocean's Twelve,'' an ''Ocean's Eleven'' sequel that would star George Clooney and some of the other actors from the first film, possibly including Damon.

Apostolic Preaching of the Cross
This modern classic of biblical scholarship explains what the apostles meant when they used such words as "redeem," "covenant," "propitiate," "reconcile," and "justify." Leon Morris carefully explores these themes against the backgrounds of both Old Testament Judaism and New Testament Christianity — a rewarding task that results in a more complete understanding of these key Christian terms.
