You can add a Service Card quickly and easily by using one of the following options:
- Go to your Straight Talk phone's "Prepaid" menu and select the option "Add Airtime".
- Launch the browser on your Straight Talk phone and select the option "Refill My Account".
- If your phone does not have a "Prepaid" menu or the "Refill My Account" option, you can continue to go to www.straighttalk.com/Refill or contact our customer care center at 1-877-430-2355 to refill your My Account.
- How do I keep my phone service active?
You can keep your phone active by choosing one of the following three options:
- Select Auto-Refill for monthly automatic deductions. Update and manage your information from your Account.
- Choose one of our Service Plans: The All You Need for $30 or one of our Unlimited* Service Plans: 1 month for $45, 3 months for $130, 6 months for $255 and 1 year for $495. Straight Talk also offers a 1 month Unlimited* with International calling for $60.
- Straight Talk RESERVE: This feature allows you to buy or add more than one card at a time. For the Unlimited* plans, your Service will refill on your Service End Date. For the All You Need plans, you can choose to add the card immediately or default it to your Service End Date. All cards/plans can be managed from My Account. Visit My Account and add a Service Card/Plan if you are running low on minutes, texts or MB. To see how it works, visit www.straighttalk.com/Reserve.
- Where can I find my PIN number on my Straight Talk Service Card?
Your PIN is located on the back of your Straight Talk Service Card or on your register receipt. To read the PIN on your Straight Talk Service Card, simply locate the gray strip on the back of your card. Scratch off the gray strip in order to reveal your 15 digit Service Card PIN.
- Can I add Minutes, Messages & Data to another person's Straight Talk phone?
Yes, you may buy and add a Service Card for somebody else. You will need to add the Service Card online at www.straighttalk.com/Refill or by calling our Customer Care Center at 1-877-430-CELL (2355).
- Why would my phone number be cancelled if I do not refill my account on time?
Straight Talk pays all charges to the carriers every month when we issue you a wireless phone number for your use. If you stop buying Service Plans or adding Service Cards or refilling your account, Straight Talk will stop paying the charges on that line for your use and will reassign that telephone number to a new Straight Talk customer. All it takes to get your phone Activated again is to add a Service Card or buy a Service Plan.
- Is there any charge for canceling Auto-Refill?
No, there is no cancellation or penalty fee. You can cancel anytime. Simply visit your Account online at www.straighttalk.com/myaccount or call 1-877-430-2355 to process your cancellation.
- What happens if I want to switch Auto-Refill plans?
When you want to switch from an All You Need Service plan to an Unlimited* Service plan or viceversa, simply call our customer care center at 1-877-430-2355. The representative will then change your plan and your Auto-Refill will automatically apply to that plan and reset the credit card charge from the date you changed the plan.
Auto-Refill is designed to keep you informed of any account activity and provides the following:
- Pre-validate: A courtesy pre-authorization takes place to confirm funds in your account prior to a charge.
- Credit card expiration alert: If your card is close to expiration, we'll notify you ahead of time so you can update your account information.
- Charge alerts: Receive advanced notifications of the date a charge will be applied to your account.
- What is the benefit of using Auto-Refill?
Auto-Refill is the best way to ensure that your Minutes, text and Service Days are used to their fullest potential. Since Auto-Refill takes place on your Service End Date, you?ll never be disconnected.
Set up:
Set up online using your credit card at StraightTalk.com/AutoRefill or call our customer care center at 1-877-430-2355.

In 1997, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility launched The National Hardcore Drunk Driving Project to develop programs that advocate swift identification, certain punishment, and effective treatment to reduce hardcore drunk driving.
1998, the Project held a series of forums in Massachusetts, Texas, and Ohio that were designed to foster the beginning of a national dialogue focusing on shared problems and creative solutions, and led to the foundation of strong alliances with other public and private organizations engaged in the fight against drunk driving. Each forum concentrated on a particular dimension of the hardcore drunk driving dilemma – treatment, sentencing, enforcement, sanctions, and prosecution – and included participants from additional states whose expertise was especially valuable to the topic.
This also led to the development of strong alliances with other public and private organizations engaged in the fight against drunk driving. The Coalition to Fight Hardcore Drunk Driving comprised of representatives from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the American Automobile Association (AAA), and the National District Attorneys Association's (NDAA) Traffic Law Center continues to build on the achievements of the founding members of this project.
Combating Hardcore Drunk Driving was the first traffic safety community effort to provide a single, comprehensive resource to assist in reducing fatalities, injuries, and crashes caused by repeat offenders and drivers with high blood alcohol concentration levels of .15 and above. The sourcebook includes information on a broad range of policies, laws, sanctions, and treatment programs culled from professionals in the fields of alcohol abuse and traffic safety as well as from surveys of U.S. territories, special jurisdictions, and each state.

Happy Birthday, Neil Young!!!
Monday, November 12, 2012
Happy Birthday to Neil Young, who turns 67 today (November 12th)!!! In addition to publishing his long awaited autobiography, Waging Heavy Peace this year, Young has scored two back-to-back Top Ten albums with his side band Crazy Horse -- Americana, which was released in June and peaked at Number Four and the recent Psychedelic Pill, which just entered the Billboard 200 charts at Number Eight.
Young told us that there's no real pattern to the music he records, and that the songs themselves tell him how things will go: "There's no real logic to it. I may do two rock n' roll albums in a row at some point, or I may do two soft ones in a row, or I may do some different kind of album that everybody wonders what the hell I did that for. I mean, y'know, I could do that. Y'know, it just depends, and there's no plan. I'm just going with the songs. The songs dictate the direction."
Graham Nash says that making music with Young as part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young has always led to fascinating results: "I love to make music with Neil. It's very different with Neil. Y'know, it's a very different band -- there's more edge, it's darker, it's funkier. It's just different."
Longtime friend and fan Jimmy Page feels that with Young's voice, guitar work, and songs, he presents a perfect musical package: "We've all loved Neil Young, probably since the very first time accessing him in the Buffalo Springfield. I do love people that you know who they are straight away -- especially with guitar players, as well. You can recognize their guitar playing. To be able to recognize a guitar player -- which you do with Neil. I mean, you just know Neil Young's guitar style, and then you know his vocal, and his songs are profound. Y'know, and he's got such a fine, fine body of work that you can do nothing more than just. . . I told it to his face, he's the artist's artist."

November 13 - Calgary, AB - Scotiabank Saddledome (with Los Lobos)

About the LHC
Billions of protons in the LHC's two counter-rotating particle beams smash together at an energy of 8 trillion electron volts. After injection into the accelerator, the hair-thin proton beams accelerate to a whisker below the speed of light. They circulate inside for hours, guided around the LHC ring by thousands of powerful superconducting magnets. For most of their split-second journey around the ring, the beams travel in two separate vacuum pipes, but at four points they collide in the hearts of the main experiments, known by their acronyms: ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb.
The experiments' complex detectors will eventually see up to 600 million collisions per second, as the energy of colliding protons transforms fleetingly into a plethora of exotic particles. In the data from these ultrahigh-energy collisions scientists from universities and laboratories around the world search for the tracks of particles whose existence could transform humankind's understanding of the universe we live in.

Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz (34) hits a grand slam against the Detroit Tigers during the 8th inning in game two of the American League Championship Series baseball game at Fenway Park. (Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports)
Yes, that really happened: Red Sox win in walkoff after being down 5-0
New England fans were treated to two of the most improbable comebacks they'll ever see Sunday. After Tom Brady's Patriots heroics, the Red Sox fashioned a hard-to-fathom 6-5 win over the Detroit Tigers in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.
Down 5-0, Boston came back with a run in the sixth on Dustin Pedroia's RBI single, scoring Shane Victorino.
Ortiz won the battle. He hit the first pitch into the right field bullpen, tying the game at 5-5 and sending Fenway Park into delirium.
Jonny Gomes led off with an infield single and took second base on former Sox shortstop Jose Iglesias' errant throw.

These days, many couples find it hard to fit sex into their busy schedules. And it is perfectly normal for people to go through periods when they are just not in the mood for love making. However, if you lack desire for sex for emotional or physical reasons, you may want to consider sex therapy. Seeking treatment for sex problems has become more socially acceptable today, but it is still not easy for many people to talk to a professional about such an intimate concern.
"There are probably a lot of people out there who could use therapy but do not come because they're embarrassed. They may go through years of needless pain or dissatisfaction," says Alexandra Myles, MSW, a sex therapist in Massachusetts.
Before you decide to see a sex therapist, take the time to explore whether it is really what you need. Myles and other therapists recommend that you:
- See a doctor initially, particularly if you think your problem is physical in nature—A gynecologist or urologist can detect difficulties due to illness, aging, metabolic or hormonal imbalances. According to sex therapist Judy Seifer, prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, alcohol, and smoking may also negatively affect sexual functioning.
- Learn more about sexuality—In spite of the greater openness about sexuality today, many people have little understanding of their own bodies and sexual functioning. Informational and self-help books and educational sex videos, which are widely available, can be very helpful. Becoming better informed will help you decide whether you really need therapy. Some people, in fact, are able to solve their own problems through self-help guides.
What Happens in Sex Therapy?
Many people come to sex therapy after individual psychotherapy fails to help them with their sexual problems.
"The obvious thing is that you are dealing with the human body so you cannot just talk about how you feel. You have got to work on the physical level as well," says Myles. Sex therapy generally addresses the emotional issues underlying sexual problems and employs behavioral techniques to deal with the physical symptoms.
These behavioral techniques involve physical exercises that clients do on their own outside of the therapy setting. "Nothing should happen in the therapist's office of a sexual or physical nature," Myles emphasizes. (Sex therapists should not be confused with sexual surrogates, who may have physical contact with their clients as part of therapy.)
One popular technique used in treating many sexual problems is called sensate focus, in which couples caress or massage each other without sexual contact. The goal is to help both partners learn to give and receive pleasure and feel safe together. As the partners become more comfortable, they can progress to genital stimulation.
As a result of performing this exercise, many couples discover new ways to experience pleasure other than sexual intercourse. "Some of my patients find that they become better lovers," says Dennis Sugrue, PhD, a sex therapist in Michigan.
Other exercises treat specific problems such as women's inability to have orgasms and men's erectile problems. Performing these exercises often evokes strong feelings that are then explored through psychotherapy. People who have experienced sexual trauma or are confused about their sexual identity may need to spend more time working through their feelings. For couples, who make up the majority of clients, the focus is on improving communication and developing greater intimacy.
How Do You Find a Therapist?
When looking for a sex therapist, it is critical to find a practitioner with the proper credentials to deal with this sensitive subject area. A sex therapist should be an experienced therapist with training in sex therapy from a reputable program. Start with a search for a licensed social worker, psychologist, psychiatrist, or psychiatric nurse. For example, the American Association of Sex Counselors, Educators, and Therapists (AASECT) offers a certification program for professionals interested in becoming sex therapists. These types of programs include instruction in sexual and reproductive anatomy and treatment methods. Other topics covered include sexual abuse, gender-related issues, and sociocultural factors in sexual values and behavior.
You can obtain referrals for sex therapists from AASECT and other professional organizations, like the American Psychological Association . You can also ask get a referral from your doctor or therapist.
How Do You Choose the Right Therapist?
In looking for a sex therapist, it is particularly important to find someone who you trust and respect. Do not be afraid to ask questions about the therapist's background, philosophical orientation, and experience with your problem.
"A sex therapist can be very influential," says Gina Ogden, a certified sex therapist in Massachusetts, "because there are fewer people who you can talk with about your sexual issues." She warns against therapists who have rigid ideas of what human sexual response should be. Myles agrees, "Sex is such a subjective experience. You cannot impose your own beliefs on a patient."
If you see a therapist who says or does anything suggestive, or that involves nudity, end the relationship right away. "Sex therapy is strictly talk therapy. There should be no 'show and tell'," asserts Seifer, a former president of AASECT.
Most sex therapists today, according to Dennis Sugrue, "look at the whole person and try to help men and women redefine what it means to make love." The effects of aging or physical problems "do not mean that a couple cannot experience the pleasure and joy of being physically intimate with each other."

From a team standpoint, the 2012 season in Hernando County belonged to Nature Coast.
On the boys side, the Sharks have claimed five straight county championships and won three district titles in that time, including last year's Class 2A, District 6 crown.
Finally the girls squad equaled their male counterparts, winning a county title for the second time and its first district championship.
With a new season just getting under way – rain washed away Wednesday's opening Early Bird Meet at Nature Coast – the question is, can anyone unseat the Sharks within the county and the district?
"Our numbers are high. The kids are working hard," Nature Coast boys coach Ryan Wilson said. "It's a well-rounded team this year, so hopefully we have the same results."
"I think we're still pretty strong," Lady Shark coach Ed LaRose said. "We lost some, but we've also got some studs returning.
"I think if we put things together, we can push for a district championship again."
If there is a common thread among the two Nature Coast teams, it's their strength in distance.
Both of the school's cross-country squads captured district titles, and the Lady Sharks won a regional championship, as the boys did the previous season.
Kevin Ciccone, James Harkless, Wyatt Hessler and Cody Van Natter are all key contributors among the male distance runners.
Harkless, a junior, had a particularly strong 2012 campaign, earning All-County honors while advancing all the way to states in the 1,600-meter race.
Junior Crystal Burchhardt, a returning All-County selection, is among the Lady Shark leaders in distance, along with Alyssa DeLigio, Brianna Horn, Brielle Perlingieri and Mary Thomson.
Also, the Lady Sharks have sophomore Bronte Cameron returning after reaching states in the 100 hurdles as a freshman, as well as the All-County high jumper, junior Zavana Schmit.
Briana Baugher, Ashley Chevalier and Alicia Gentz, part of a state-qualifying 4x100 relay last year, are back and will be joined by freshman Ashley Gentz to provide a solid core of sprinters.
In field events, the Nature Coast girls will have to replace three graduated state qualifiers (Amy Holmes and Mackenzie Medler in the triple jump, Courtney Liddle in the discus), but expectations are still high.
"I can't back down," LaRose said. "We've had a great boys team here, but we've never had a team repeat in districts. We've got great competition in our district.
"Last year we were more well-rounded. This year, we have studs and a lot of question marks. … We've got some young talent and we need to continue to develop."
The senior-heavy boys are well-stocked in sprints, as well. Matt Breida, Jacquez Kincade, Dominique Rawlins and Frank Villaizan, who combined to earn a state medal for an eighth-place showing in the 4x100 a year ago, remain on the roster.
"The distance kids, they're the ones that set the tone for us and they'll definitely carry the team," Wilson said. "The sprinters will be a lot better. They seem to be more of a unit and they push each other at practice every day. And hopefully these freshmen come through for us."
Additionally, senior Frank Sampson could have an important impact in jumping events. In a continuing trend, receiving steady contributions from field events will determine the Sharks' overall success in the state series.
"We're always looking to win," Wilson said. "We're hoping to go out and win the district. We're going to try new things. If we don't win every meet, that'll be OK because all that matters is at the end.
"Every year (the district) comes down to who is the healthiest. If our numbers stay the way they are, I think we've got a good chance of repeating."
While Springstead didn't have the team success of Nature Coast in 2012, the Eagles did boast the two Athletes of the Year, and both are still around.
Bobby Harris completed a breakout sophomore season by tying for second in the state in 3A in the high jump.
"He comes out the first day of practice (after missing early practices due to basketball) and jumps 6'8"," Springstead boys coach Brandon Wright said.
"Honestly, no pun intended, the sky is the limit for him. He's a phenomenal character kid, he works hard and he wants to be great at it.
"Obviously the number one goal is a state championship, and to make a name for himself, and he's already getting looks from a lot of colleges. I know that's on his radar."
Junior Wilena Little is a two-time state qualifier in the 200 and won county titles in four events (200, 100, 400 and long jump) last year.
A late-season hamstring injury clearly impacted her performance in the state series, leaving questions has to how much more she could have achieved.
"The bulb went off for her," Springstead girls coach Joel Myers said, pointing to her newfound commitment to weight training. "She's in the best shape of her life. She's really filled out. She's all muscle. I think she can be something special.
"We've just got to find where will be her best chance to medal. It's not if she's got a chance to medal, she's going to medal if she stays healthy."
Myers has other reasons to be excited. He may have his deepest team yet, capable of edging out Nature Coast for the county's top spot as the Lady Eagles did in 2011.
Sophomore Erin Blackwell and junior Ty'Rhonza Harris are a valuable "1-2 punch," said Myers, in distance events, and will be the backbone of both the 4x800 and 4x400 relays that typically define the Lady Eagles.
Blackwell was a county champion and a district champ in 3A-6, as well as a state qualifier in the 800 during her rookie prep season.
Angela Morton returns as the county's top female pole vaulter, and Springstead has several promising newcomers, mostly notably Amber Philpott, a freshman distance runner who missed cross-country season due to illness.
"We just go out and compete," Myers said. "We're looking to build depth. We won eight of the events in the county (meet) and lost by 50 points. We didn't get seconds or thirds. I said we need some girls to come through. We're going to get our share of firsts. It's whether we can get backup points. That's what Nature Coast did.
"We're going to try our best but we're also going to go to big meets. We need to run against Tampa schools. That's our region. We're not going to win any of those meets, but we need to run against good competition. My goal is to get some medals at states."
Springstead's boys will have to replace the graduated Thomas Watson, the 2011 Athlete of the Year and a three-time All-County selection.
A state qualifier in the 400 as a junior, Watson's departure will be felt most in that race and the Eagles' 4x400 that set a new school record (3:28.07) while collecting a county crown and later added a district title.
The rest of that team remains intact, Bernard Ndedi, Ricky Toth and Zackary Romblad.
Two other key seniors are All-County long jumper Abraham Paulding and one of the top pole vaulters in the county, Dylan Pendlebury.
"It's a big void to fill," Wright said of Watson's departure. "But I think for the most part we've got a good core; a lot of returnees.
"Our goal is still to try to bring back a county championship to Springstead High School. I don't see why we can't compete."
Hernando's boys finished second to Nature Coast in the county and 2A-6 last year.
Senior Tyrail Hawkins is the reigning county champion in the 100 and 200, and the Leopards sport a pair of quality throwers in junior Connor Foradas, a state qualifier in discus, and senior Darren Hambrick, the county's best in shot put.
Another senior, Quentin Adams, a 2011 state qualifier in the 100, will help Hawkins in sprints and the 4x100.
"You can't settle for less than a district championship as a team," Hernando boys coach Rodney Byrd said. "And we'll try to get some state qualifiers and state placers."
Other county teams are in rebuilding mode.
The Hernando girls will lean on a handful of seniors, such as All-County shot put thrower Ebone Plummer.
"We had so any people right on the cusp (of making states) last year, so we're looking to put the work in and break through," Hernando girls coach Shawanda McCullough said.
"We're also trying to continue to grow. I realize a lot of my athletes are juniors and seniors, so we're trying to build a foundation with our other athletes."
Third-year Weeki Wachee is still attempting to establish its team, but the Hornets have a three-time county champion and the first state qualifier in school history in any sport, senior pole vaulter Steven James.
"He knows what he's doing," new Weeki Wachee head coach Jon Malandrucco said. "He's got his head on straight and he's ready to go. Last week he was clearing some pretty high numbers. I feel he'll do very well."
Central has five seniors combined on its boys and girls squads, so the Bears are clearly experiencing a youth movement.
The boys are paced by senior Quadavis Battle, a state hopeful in the hurdles.
"As far as team goals, it'd be nice to compete but we know we don't really have the numbers," first-year Central boys coach Tyson Graham said. "For us, it's to be the best as individuals as we can be and the team will take care of itself."
The Lady Bears' 4x100 of Meagan Aldrich, Samantha Evans, Shanise Frazier and Nature Coast transfer Aysha McCants has its own state aspirations.
"We want to go to county and compete to the best of our ability," Central girls coach Jenn Adams said of her general season outlook. "I believe we have an all-around, well-balanced team."

Too right, you try and stop a musician getting involved with his album cover!!! It shouldn't be any different for authors huh.
March 10th, 2005, 10:52 AM #32
It would seem. But for some reason the precedent is that authors don't have control, or even input. Look, you sacrifice one thing for another. Matt gets distribution and I get nice covers. Matt gets fat royalty checks and I get compliments on the artwork. Matt gets rabid fans and I get "Who are you again?"

Well Matt it is the content that counts right?
Still I do wonder why publishers do not encorage artists to read the book more often. A standout cover can at least draw the eye of those readers who do not know the author. Then again within the art college I trained book covers were not a priority, if I can put it so mildly.

Authors want the covers to represent the mood (or the feel, or whatever) of the book.
Publishers want the covers to sell the book.
They care nothing for the rest of it. It's not an artistic decision. It's merchandising.
This is also why art schools don't go into book jacket/album cover design. It's not fine art, it's illustration and graphic design. The manual skills involved may be similar, but the intent is entirely different.
It's advertising. That's all.
Sometimes it's good advertising.
Sometimes (as I have so painfully learned), it isn't.
Oh, and Gary?
I'm still waiting for those fat royalty checks . . . and your rabid fans are on the way, man. Remember I've been in print for almost ten years now, and it's only been in the last two or so that anybody outside the hardest of the hardcore cult-insiders had even heard my name . . .
March 11th, 2005, 10:03 AM #35
Matt, I have been so out of the loop of this business that it's actually remarkable that I am here at all. I have no agent for my fantasy series. I never seriously solicited a publisher. Thanks to friends and word of mouth, Windstorm found me. I completed the first four books before I even saw them in print. For five years I hardly read anything as well, so I didn't even know what people were writing. If not for Dag's stumbling upon me a number of years ago, I wouldn't even know about this place. It's been a struggle from the onset. The fantasy fan is the one of the hardest to win, and even then, the loyalty, though fervid at first, is fickle at best. And it so often turns mean.
But, to be honest, I have known your name for years now. It was recognizable to me even before I ever knew the title of a single book you have written. You have a clear persona and you are true to it, honest and upfront. The honesty resonates, and it makes your characters, though fantastical, very real. Your characters are large and powerful creations, and more important, they endure in the mind of the reader. You pull all the right strings. That's a real accomplishment and one to be so incredibly proud of. And I am shocked that you don't outsell most of the crap that I see on the shelves these days.
That's why I would have hoped your covers better represented your art. Marketing is fine, but it shouldn't be false. It shouldn't misrepresent what you are getting, and with Heroes Die you are getting much much more than what you might expect from the cover. Your book is so far superior to how it's depicted, and the more intelligent reader might shy away from it because of the artwork. Who made that marketing decision? John Kerry's campaign manager?
March 11th, 2005, 01:15 PM #36
And we haven't yet begun talking about the Barra novels' covers....
<--best cover. Ever.

March 14th, 2005, 09:06 AM #38
Here's hoping that Caine: Black Knife's front cover will be just as good, if not better.
March 14th, 2005, 09:16 AM #39
Oh the French get better and better.
If you think HD suffered from 'Bodice Ripper' syndrome, check out the cover for Laws' Gideon:
March 14th, 2005, 09:28 AM #40
Blue Lighting = bad 80's film indicating imminent sex scene. Do the publishers know nothing?! I take it this book is not a bad 80's romance?!
March 14th, 2005, 09:31 AM #41
Hardly, Laws writes graphic horror, a bit like Barker/King, but better imho.
March 14th, 2005, 09:48 AM #42
Ok, Stephen Laws gets my sympathy more than Matt here. It is a much worse cover - and methinks my bodice ripping idea is not so far fetched too, horror done a la romantic novel?

Now that is a bad one
As for book covers being part of a graphic design discipline, this is unfortunately true at least here in Ireland. Also a lot of grahic designers and illustrators prefer to work in advertising etc because its regular work.
Oh Matt and Gary, this may sound impertinent but which would you prefer: the slow burn sales, that rely on word-of-mouth or the quick sale that fades almost as fast?

Haha, those are horrible, except the last one, which still somewhat misrepresents the book. They would definitely have put me off reading the books.
As an aspiring writer, it's a little scary and discouraging.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1991 Winter/Spring Tour."
The first set is all hyped up, frantic energy with zero control. Everything is messy and disorganized, particularly Stash and AC/DC Bag. Bag just sounds wrong. During the jam in Mike's Song, it sounds like they make a conscious effort to slow things down and get control, but it gets away again during Hydrogen. The first set, to me, is unequivocally bad. I was hopeful for the second set, but it again starts out shaky, and by the time we're through Horn, the show has achieved full train-wreck status. Trey announces Paul & Silas, then sounds like he starts Rocky Top, and no one else seems to know how to get it started, so they just kind of stumble into it. Cavern is rough, and the Destiny Unbound is simply awful.
I Didn't Know was apparently a good call, since it gave them a chance to just not play for a little bit. Even IDK gets downright weird at the end (at one point, a woman somewhere even lets out a full-on horror movie blood-curdling scream). Fortunately, though, something about I Didn't Know lets them pretty much get whatever it was out of their system, because the remainder of the show is fairly OK, though nothing spectacular. Harry Hood is probably the one song that had some highlights, although I was relieved to hear Coil played cleanly (even though there is pretty much no Page solo).
Overall, though, yikes. Don't know what the deal with this show is. I debated raising it up to two stars since the last four songs are at least OK, but I decided I would have needed something special to rescue the first 3/4 of the gig from whatever it was that had taken over the band on this night. I gotta go one star on this.

City of South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan
The South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan is a community-based transportation plan that provides for convenient and effi cient use of motorized and non-motorized transportation and addresses issues such as vehicular circulation, parking, pedestrian/bicyclist movements, and public transportation, resulting in short- and long-term strategies for implementation of the resultant plan.
Download the South Miami Intermodal Transportation Plan, January 2015.
Implementation Plan for Enhanced Bus Service (EBS) along Flagler Corridor
Overview The Flagler Street Enhanced Bus Service Implementation Plan builds on earlier enhanced bus service (EBS) corridor studies and plans in the Miami area, namely for the NW 27th Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard corridors, and proposes a plan for the operation of EBS along the Flagler Street corridor. The objective of the plan is to improve transit service along the corridor by providing high-frequency service and enhanced passenger amenities, (i.e. bus stop shelters/benches) thereby improving the transit experience of existing riders and attracting new riders that would have otherwise used a private automobile to complete their trip. The Flagler Street Enhanced Bus Service Implementation Plan was developed by the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization in coordination with Miami-Dade Transit (MDT).

Miami-Dade MPO receives "Award of Excellence"...
The Miami-Dade MPO's "Miami-Dade 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan" has been selected for an Award of Excellence in the 14th Annual Planning Awards by the Gold Coast Section of the American Planning Association. Plan innovations include:
- There was a concerted effort to reach Millennials, which included interactive meetings at local college campuses.
- "Blocks & Ribbons" public involvement exercise that provided a 3-D interactive medium for participants to visualize population and employment growth, and to provide transportation solutions within limited funding.
- Interactive survey technology was utilized at public involvement meetings to gauge sentiment regarding mobility issues and challenges facing Miami-Dade County.
- The Mobility Needs Assessment Tool (MNAT) was developed with a study preceding the LRTP update process to provide a corridor level mobility assessment tool.
- Financial Set-Asides were made for Non-Motorized, Congestion Management, and Freight specific projects.
- Emphasis was made on improving freight movement and freight intermodal connections between PortMiami, Miami International Airport, and the regional transportation network.
- Highlights several "illustrative" projects, which are projects that may be included in the 20-year plan time frame if additional financial resources become available.
- For a select few of the illustrative projects, P-3 could be a project delivery mechanism whereby the private sector may help speed up implementation by participating in financing, design/build, and operations & maintenance (O&M).

Clipper boys blow by Milford
Wednesday, January 16, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — When backup forward Colin MacDonald hit a baseline jumper with a little more than a minute to play Tuesday night, it marked the highest point total of the season for the Portsmouth High School boys basketball team.
All in all, it was a good tune-up for the next one against Hollis, whose 5-1 mark includes a competitive loss to unbeaten Pembroke (61-51).
"They're good," said Milford coach Dan Murray, whose 2011 team beat Portsmouth in the Division II championship game but has turned over completely since then. "They move the ball well. They've got shooters. But defensively, we took a step back tonight. … We're a better defensive team than we showed."
"(Urda) runs the offense for us," said Murray. "But we've got to learn to use both sides of the floor, ball reversal. We mentally freeze."

I have owned a the EOS 6d for around 4 months now and overall I find it to be a great camera. Image quality is top notch even in low light. What canon has done here is allowed people to fully exploit the full range of canon lenses and accessories in a way that was not really achievable with an APSc sized sensor.
Canon EOS 6D In-Depth Review
Review based on a production Canon EOS 6D with Firmware v1.1.2
Less than a week after arch-rival Nikon grabbed headlines with the D600, Canon responded with an announcement of its own price-conscious full frame DSLR, the EOS 6D. And just like that, a new market segment was born: the mid-range full frame DSLR. It was only a decade ago that full frame DSLR performance was limited to those with pockets deep enough to spend $7999 on the 11MP Canon EOS 1Ds. And while the barrier to entry has dropped considerably since then, for many potential buyers, the most-talked about feature of the EOS 6D may well be its price. It debuts at $1400 less than the company's standout EOS 5D Mark III.
As the full frame DSLR market grows ever-more crowded though - Canon, Nikon and Sony each offer at least two full frame models - the appeal of the 6D may well rest on things like handling and feature set. While Canon obviously needs to maintain clear distinctions between the 6D and the pricier 5D Mark III, the challenge is to offer enough incentive for current EOS owners who lack a substantial lens investment to resist the similarly priced and slightly higher-resolution Nikon D600.
And as is Canon's wont, they have opted for the allure of familiarity and consistency. The EOS 6D is perhaps best understood as a full frame version of the popular EOS 60D - indeed it's very similar in both control layout and dimensions. While slimmer front-to-back, and lighter than the Nikon D600, the 6D primarily seeks to distinguish itself on the spec sheet with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, a 'silent' shutter mechanism and, according to Canon, unprecedented low-light focusing sensitivity. Whether this combination will be enough to satisfy enthusiasts who'd appreciate the D600's distinctly higher spec'ed autofocus system, dual card slots and built-in flash remains to be seen.
Canon EOS 6D key specifications
- 20.2MP full frame CMOS sensor
- DIGIC 5+ image processor
- ISO 100-25600 standard, 50-102800 expanded
- 4.5 fps continuous shooting
- 'Silent' shutter mode
- 1080p30 video recording, stereo sound via external mic
- 11 point AF system, center point cross-type and sensitive to -3 EV
- 63 zone iFCL metering system
- 97% viewfinder coverage; interchangeable screens (including Eg-D grid and Eg-S fine-focus)
- 1040k dot 3:2 3" ClearView LCD (fixed)
- Single SD card slot
- Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS
- Single-axis electronic level
The EOS 6D is built around a new Canon CMOS sensor, which offers a pixel count of 20.2MP (compared to the Nikon D600 and Sony SLT-A99's 24MP, and the 5D Mark III's 22MP). In concert with the DIGIC 5+ processor it offers a standard ISO range of 100-25600, expandable down to 50 and up to 102,400. The AF system has 11 points, but only the central one is cross-type (sensitive to both vertical and horizontal detail). However, the 6D's trump card is the ability to focus in extremely low light levels; right down to a claimed -3 EV – a full stop dimmer than the 5D Mark III. This figure might not mean much to you, but for reference, -3 EV is roughly equivalent to the light cast by a full moon.
Notable additions include integrated GPS and Wi-Fi - with the latter offering the ability to control the camera remotely via your smartphone. The 6D also benefits from some features we saw in the EOS 5D Mark III, like Canon's silent shutter mode, which offers quieter, more discreet shooting. It also inherits in-camera HDR and Multiple Exposure modes, but disappointingly implements these as JPEG only options, unlike on the 5D Mark III which also records Raw files.
The 6D omits some of the more interesting goodies Canon introduced on the EOS 650D, too. There's no on-chip phase-detection to aid autofocus in live view or movie mode, nor does Canon's superb touchscreen interface make an appearance. As usual for a full frame DSLR - the Sony SLT-A99 being the sole exception - the rear screen itself is fixed, rather than articulated as it is on the EOS 60D. Canon says this is for maximum durability and to keep the camera's size down.
Key specs compared to EOS 5D Mark III and Nikon D600
In the table below we see how some of the EOS 6D's key specs measure up against its more expensive big brother, the 5D Mark III, and its main rival the Nikon D600.

Cushioned Wine Bistro Mat 15 15
Love these! Good quality. Great design. Conversation piece. Looks great in the kitchen March 8, 2012
Love it...but.... We love this wine bistro mat in the red. It is also very soft and cushioned. I don't see where it stains either. The reason I didn't give 5 starts is because the smell is horrible. It had such a bad chemical smell that we had to put it outside on the patio for a few weeks to "air out". I would return it if I didn't love the way it looks, but the smell seems to be fading now, so we will keep it! May 7, 2013
Wine Bistro Mat Purchased 2 of these mats in the longest size for front of sink & stove. Loved the wine color but it stains horribly even with water! I love the mats so much I am going to buy 2 more in BLACK and hope for the best! November 27, 2012
Wine Bistro Mat I love the look but I agree with others, there is a rubber smell that doesn't clear until a few weeks. Also, the black color is great but best to hand clean, I cleaned mine a lot and the edges are folding up and coming up from the rubber. I am looking to replace this mat, it has been about a year. I do like the softness of it when I am in the kitchen so might just try a different brand. December 6, 2013
Qaulity is not great I love the design, but this product does not hold up well. I had it for two years and the edges star to peal off. October 27, 2014
Cushioned Wine Bistro Mat This is a new set to replace the set I purchased about a year and half ago. The new set is a true BLACK the old set looks gray and frayed around the edges. While I love the idea of the product, I am so disappointed in the quality of the replaced set. Hopefully the replacement will wear better. May 14, 2013
Didn't last long I loved the design of this rug and was willing to splurge on it to add a distinctive touch to our kitchen for the traditional home we just purchased. Upon receipt I wasn't too pleased that the white was more of a cream white. But it was still pretty so no big deal. But then I realized that the cream soon turned to gray as it picked up every bit of dirt. It was not possible to clean it to get back to the cream color and i scrubbed the mat pretty well! Then by 6 months time, the edges started to peel up and look shabby. I just expected more from this product and wasn't too happy. too bad cause it is a beautiful mat that was comfortable to stand on. I don't know if i received a lemon since other reviewers seem fairly happy with theirs. May 4, 2013

Soul Master
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Soul Master Overview
Soul Master is a 3D fantasy action MMORPG with some strategy elements published by GamesCampus. Players can create buildings, work their way through technology trees and train and command units – all while developing a persistent world character. Gameplay wise, it's very similar to Dragonica Online and Fists of Fu, as it's very linear. Players must complete one stage before being able to play the next one. Think of Soul Master as a mix between Dragonica, Pikmin and Age of Empires. It's a unique blend of multiple genres and is actually quite fun. Soul Master has a distinct cartoony look to it, almost like League of Legends, as they are sleek and bright.

Soul Master Review
By, Jamie Skelton
Soul Master is a 2.5D blended-genre MMO from GamesCampus, whose publishing credits includes Asda Story and Shot Online. Combining a story-driven RPG with both RTS and brawler elements, Soul Master is a unique offering in the MMO world that's hard to compare to any current game on the market. Though some may find elements of games like League of Legends, Land of Chaos, or Battleforge, Soul Master's gameplay currently stands on its own.
Choose Your Adventure
Upon logging in, players have several options to create their character. There are three total races available – the Valiant and the Holy are both human, while Harmony is a tribal elf. After choosing a race, players must also choose their occupation – currently available is Knight for Valiant, Bearcat for Harmony, and Priest for Holy. Occupations are gender locked, so it is impossible to play, for instance, a female Knight or a male Priest. Information about each occupation, including a few of their skills and stats, is included on the right to help players make a decision. Once a race and occupation is selected, players may then choose the hair color and style of their initial outfit's top and bottom (5 options each).
Each race comes with its own initial storyline and reactions to certain events. Although tutorials and missions are essentially the same for all players, the guide that helps new players, as well as the dialogue, changes depending on the race. This adds a nice charm for immersion in an RPG designed for faction PvP.
One More Thing…
The tutorial for Soul Master takes players through two starting missions, guiding them on movement, combat, and commanding troops. Movement is commandeered through the WASD keys, and attacking takes place by left-clicking the mouse. Because of its brawler elements, players must constantly click on (or in the direction of) an enemy to execute attacks. Combos can be executed after hitting multiple attacks; there are also special combos involving moving while attacking and dodging (which can be done with the space bar.) Special skills are executed using the right mouse button.
Eventually, the player gets command of units they can move and use around the battlefield, introducing the RTS element of the game. These units are called souls, and come in several varieties. Initially, these souls are only available by freeing them from their enemy captors; eventually, players can add buildings to the battlefield which can produce souls for them. Souls can also be commanded to both attack and use special skills; these commands are executed per soul type. Units will also fight for themselves when an enemy is in the area.
Build It, And They Will Come
A few missions later, players will be introduced to the final element of the RTS: structures. Structures are buildings which, among other things, let players create defenses and summon souls. All of this requires seed, a special resource found both unguarded and guarded on the mission's map. Seed must be captured to be harvested, and can be reclaimed from an enemy unit in competitive maps. The structure system also allows players to upgrade their units, buffing them with special bonuses.
All of this comes with a simple to follow interface and instructions. Nonetheless, managing buildings, souls, seed, and brawling for control of a map means there's a lot to manage and keep watch on at once. Because of this, the entire keyboard finds a use in controlling units, building, and managing preferences and camera. While the nature of the game means that both brawler and RTS elements are simplified down, the combination means that players will find it both easy to learn and hard to fully master.
A Little Something Extra
Missions are the mainstay of Soul Master, acting as a source of gear, money, and experience, and can be unlocked for greater difficulties and rewards. There's more to the game than these instanced story-driven maps, however. Players can also enter the Battle Lobby, an open setting for both team and solo PvP sorted into three difficulty levels. Crafting is also available for those who can collect the resources and make better gear. A player's character does have his or her own inventory, quick slots, equipment, and stats, all of which must be managed outside of missions to maximize success.
Overall Verdict: Great
It's hard to believe a game that seeks to mash up three genres can be successful at it, but Soul Master offers quick, engaging, and intelligent gameplay. Elements are balanced in such a way that no one race seems capable of overpowering the other, and it requires a mastery of both controls and strategy in all three elements to become a master. Even players not familiar or fond of RTS games may find themselves hopelessly addicted, a promising sign for this unique MMO.

Peter Frampton 'Comes Alive' Again On New CD & DVD
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Out today (November 13th) is Peter Frampton's new DVD and Blu-ray FCA 35 Tour: An Evening With Peter Frampton and it's companion triple CD set, Best Of FCA! 35 Tour. The DVD features footage taped at New York City's Beacon Theater and Milwaukee's Pabst Theater, with Frampton personally going through the tour's performances for the hottest versions of all the songs for the CD.
As well as performing the 1976 Frampton Comes Alive! album in it's entirety, the new set dips into his recent works -- including the 2006 Grammy Award winning instrumental collection, Fingerprints, his most recent album, 2010's Thank You Mr. Churchill -- along with an emotional take on the Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," an instrumental cover of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun," and rousing renditions of Humble Pie's "Four Day Creep" and "I Don't Need No Doctor."
At the kickoff of the tour, Frampton was alternating between playing the newer material first and opening with Frampton Comes Alive! We asked him why he very quickly gave up on closing the shows with Come Alive!: "The reason that we stayed with Comes Alive! first is that we tried 'round the other way and people were restless. So, it was better to give them cake first. Maybe it was 'round the other way; when we did the second set first, maybe we were giving them desert first and they wanted the main course. And I found out that I much preferred to do Comes Alive!, have my captive audience there and then bet on the fact that they'll stay for the second set and that's what they did."
The tracklisting to Peter Frampton's Best Of FCA! 35 Tour is: "Somethin's Happenin,'" "Doobie Wah," "Lines On My Face," "Show Me The Way," "It's A Plain Shame," "Wind Of Change," "Just The Time Of Year," "Penny For Your Thoughts," "All I Wanna Be (Is By Your Side)," "Baby, I Love Your Way," "I Wanna Go To The Sun," "Nowhere's Too Far (For My Baby)," "(I'll Give You) Money," "Do You Feel Like I Do," "Shine On," "Jumpin Jack Flash," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps,' 'Asleep At The Wheel," "Restraint," "Float,' "Boot It Up," "Double Nickels," "Vaudeville Nanna And The Banjolele," "Suite Liberte," "All I Wanna Be (Is By Your Side)," "Road To The Sun," 'I Don't Need No Doctor," "Black Hole Sun," "Four Day Creep," and "Off The Hook."

25 July. Senegal. Fishermen at work in artisanal fishing pirogues with seine nets off of the Senegalese coast, Kafountine, Casamance. Recent canceling of fishing licenses by the the newly elected Senegalese government has been a very important first step towards restoring the fisheries to what they were before large-scale plunder began.

On June 15 and 16, LVMH presents the second edition of Les Journées Particulières, opening the doors of its forty-two houses to the public.
Watchmakers, seamstresses, cellar masters, jewelers, trunkmakers, and many other professions will, this weekend, share with the public the savoir-faire and passion for perfection that is the beating heart of the LVMH group. This year, for the event's second edition, forty-two houses (compared to the twenty-five in the first year, 2011) unveil their history and heritage to the public. The objective of this two-day undertaking? To bring to light the historical and human wealth contained in each house, produced and perpetuated by generations of artisans, masters of inimitable know-how. Discover the art of the English tailor at Thomas Pink, the savoir-faire of the Swiss watchmaker at Hublot, Zenith and Tag Heuer, the inherently Spanish mastery of leather at Loewe...
From Switzerland to Italy, Spain to France and the United Kingdom, a total of seven countries are taking part.
In Paris, at 30, Avenue Montaigne, the house of Dior is also celebrating the various skills that serve to write its story, lifting the veil on their savoir-faire: haute couture tailleur and flou, the finest jewelry and watchmaking, embroidery, tailoring, leatherwork, shoemaking, perfumes and lace. Within the walls of its historic location, the house pays homage to those behind the creation of the excellence and the dream, since 1947.
