Remember When Keith Urban Was in a Band?
Keith Urban is one of the biggest country stars of his generation, but things weren't always so rosy when he first came to Nashville.
Keith Urban is one of the biggest country stars of his generation, but things weren't always so rosy when he first came to Nashville.
Keith Urban is set to return to his judging chair for the upcoming season of 'American Idol,' and the country superstar has a strong idea of what he's looking for this year -- and what he's not.
Eric Church's Grammy-nominated 'The Outsiders' album has gone Platinum for one million in sales. It's an accomplishment very few artists can claim in 2014. In fact, only two country artists released albums this year and hit the one million mark.
The Male Vocalist of the Year award was the first #ACCAwards trophy handed out during Monday night's inaugural American Country Countdown Awards. Luke Bryan picked up the gold(ish) microphone trophy, becoming the very first ACC winner ... like, ever!
Keith Urban is getting set for the January premiere of the 14th season of 'American Idol,' and he says there are some big changes to the iconic reality singing competition this time around.
Gary LeVox knows exactly how delicate a singer's voice can be, and in a new interview, he comments on why so many young singers end up having to have vocal cord surgery.
Luke Bryan was unable to accept his CMT Artist of the Year on Tuesday night, as he was with family after the death of his brother-in-law. He was certainly not forgotten, however. Keith Urban and Jason Aldean went out of their way to say a kind word, and Lady Antebellum performed in his honor.
Tickets to Country Jam 2015 will make a great Christmas gift ... for yourself! OK, bring along a friend or significant other to experience one of the best music and camping festivals around. After all, you're going to need someone to take selfies with.
Hunter Hayes is joining a Who's Who of celebrities from across all media for this year's St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign.
Hours after one country artist revealed he is gay, another followed. Billy Gilman followed. On Thursday afternoon, he took to YouTube to reveal he's gay.

Microfiber mop
tired of roller sponge mops that gather and don't ever let go of pet hair.
I looked at the Rubbermaid microfiber mop, but it seems to review rather poorly as far as quality of construction.
I'd like to find a 12" to 16" microfiber wet mop, pole and frame that is washable and reusable.
No Swiffer stuff.
I don't have any suggestions to offer, but I don't think any microfiber mop is going to release dog hair. Have you tried the PVA sponge mops?
When I want to clean my linoleum kitchen floor, I sweep first (a "must" with four people, various crumbs,cat and dog) then damp-mop with a sponge mop dipped in any detergent solution (I currently use Top Job). The sponge heads are easily replaced.
I recently got a Rubbermaid Reveal mop and find it to be sturdy and well made. Its thick microfiber heads are excellent quality; they have a good scrubbing texture and absorb a lot. It's exactly what I was looking for. The 16.5" size is big enough to clean large rooms quickly, but still maneuverable for small rooms, under the kitchen table, etc.
The Rubbermaid Reveal has a one-year warranty. They reserve the right to require you to ship the mop back, but it sounds like a phone call with description of the problem, and possibly a photograph, is usually enough to get warranty repair/replacement. I'm not worried about it; if it malfunctions soon, hopefully I'll get a warranty replacement. Otherwise, if I got a couple years' use out of it, considering the cost, that would be fine. It's not an investment like a Miele vacuum or something.
My old sponge mops are headed for the trash. They stay far too wet after wringing. And sponges don't grab onto dirt or bacteria like microfiber does.
I vacuum first, then use a microfiber huge damp swifter like thing. You get it wet and then mop with it. The microfiber fabric pad velcros to the base and is removable so it can be washed. It doesn't leave any streaks on my hardwood floors. It's the best thing I have found to get dog hair off the floor. It is from Norwex. My niece sells it or else I wouldn't have ever bought it because it is expensive but I'm surprised that I actually like it. You need to buy the handle too which really does work great if you have a large space to cover, it's really big about three times the size of a swifter head.

Welcome to my World! Here's me in a nutshell, I'm an autistic person from Louisiana.
Here's my top 10 favorite anime/manga/game characters:
1. Lelouch vi Britannia - Code Geass
2. Ayumu Aikawa - Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka?
3. Naruto Uzumaki - Naruto
4. Ichigo Kurosaki - Bleach
5. Dante - Devil May Cry series
6. Nero - Devil May Cry 4
7. Saeko Busujima - Highschool of the Dead
8. Revy - Black Lagoon
9. Arsène Lupin III - Lupin III
10. Nathan Drake - Uncharted Series
My top 10 favorite sexiest anime girls:
1. Yoruichi Shihōin - Bleach
2. Tsunade Senju - Naruto
3. Rangiku Matsumoto - Bleach
4. Retsu Unohana - Bleach
5. Kallen Stadtfeld - Code Geass
6. Hinata Hyuga - Naruto
7. Revy - Black Lagoon
8. Shizuka Marikawa - Highschool of the Dead
9. Saeko Busujima - Highschool of the Dead
10. Seras Victoria - Hellsing
My favorite comedians are Geroge Carlin, Christopher Titus, and Robin Williams.
So I leave you with 2 quotes from 2 of said comedians:
"The Los Angeles Times reported that sixty-three percent of American families are now considered dysfunctional. Good. 'Cause that means when Armageddon *really* happens, thirty-seven percent of this population is going to *lose their minds*. 'Oh my God, the world is over!' Us sixty-three percent? We're going to go, 'Hey... there's no one watching the Lexus dealership! We're going to the Apocalypse with leather and a CD changer!'" - Christopher Titus
"I'm a modern man. A man for the millenium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multicultural postmodern deconstructionist, politically, anatomically, and ecologically incorrect. I've been uplinked and downloaded,
I've been inputted and outsourced. I know the upside of downsizing I know the downside of upgrading. I'm a high tech lo-life. A cutting-edge, state-of-the-art, bi-coastal multitasker and I can give you a gigabyte
in a nanosecond. I'm new wave but I'm old school and my inner child is outward bound. I'm a hotwired, heatseaking, warmhearted cool customer, voice activated and biodegradable. I interface with my database
and my database is in cyberspace, so I'm interactive, I'm hyperactive, and from time to time I'm radioactive. Behind the eight ball, ahead of the curve, riding the wave, dodging the bullet, and pushing the
envelope. I'm on point, on task, on message, and off drugs. I got no need for coke and speed. I got no urge to binge and purge. I'm in the moment, on the edge, over the top, but under the radar. A high concept,
low profile, medium range ballistic missionary. A streetwise smartbomb. A top-gun bottom feeder. I wear power ties; I tell power lies; I take power naps; I take victory laps. I'm a totally ongoing bigfoot, slamdunk
rain maker with a pro-active outreach, a raging workaholic, a working rage-a-holic, out of rehab and in denial. I got a personal trainer, a personal shopper, a personal assistant, and a personal angenda. You can't
shut me up, you can't dumb me down, cause I'm tireless and I'm wireless. I'm an alpha-male on beta-blockers. I'm a non-believer and an overacheiver, laid-back but fashion foward, up front, down home, low rent,
high mantinence, supersize, long lasting, high definition, fast acting, oven ready, and built to last. I'm a hands on, footloose, knee-jerk headcase, prematurely postraumatic, and I have a love child who sends me
hate mail. But I'm feeling; I'm caring; I'm healing; I'm sharing; a supportive, bonding, nurturing, primary caregiver. My output is down, but my income is up. I take a short position on the long bond and my revenue
stream has its own cash flow. I read junk-mail; I eat junk food; I buy junk bonds; I watch trash sports. I'm gender specific, captial intensive, user friendly, and lactose intolerant. I like rough sex; I like tough love;
I use the f-word in my email, and the software on my hard drive is hardcore; no soft porn. I bought a microwave at a minimall; I bought a minivan at a megastore. I eat fast food in the slow lane. I'm toll free, bite
size, ready to wear, and I come in all sizes; a fully equipped, factory authorized, hospital tested, clinically proven, scientifically formulated medical miracle. I've been pre-washed, pre-cooked, pre-heated, pre-
screened, pre-approved, pre-packaged, post-dated, freeze-dried, double wrapped, vacuum packed, and I have an unlimited broadband capacity. I'm a rude dude but I'm the real deal, lean and mean, cocked,
locked, and ready to rock; rough, tough, and hard to bluff. I take it slow; I go with the flow; I ride with the tide; I got glide in my stride; driving and moving, sailing and spinning, jiving and grooving, wailing and
winning. I don't snooze, so I don't lose. I keep the pedal to the metal and the rubber on the road. I party hardy and lunchtime is crunchtime. I'm hanging in, there ain't no doubt, and I'm hanging tough, over and
out." - George Carlin (Double spaced so people can read it better)
My personal/favorite quotes:
"When in doubt, C4!" - Jamie Hyneman, "MythBusters"
"I reject your reality and substitute my own!' - Adam Savage, "MythBusters"
"No, diabetes is a sugar imbalance! YOU are an estrogen Molotov cocktail!" - Christopher Titus, "Norman Rockwell is Burning"
"If you have no other options, make some of your own." - Me

When Matt Cutts speaks, people listen. So when Google's software engineer and webspam guru recently posted (on his Google+ page, of course) that ICANN's looming dotbrands — the generic (vanity, customized, branded) top level domains or TLDs that are fast approaching — won't boost search engine results, the SEO and domain name worlds sat upright.
Cutts was responding to ARI Registry Services CEO Adrian Kinderis, who penned an op-ed column that argued: "Will a new TLD web address automatically be favoured by Google over a .com equivalent? Quite simply, yes it will," wrote Kinderis, basing his argument on Google's ranking algorithms that search for domain name keywords thus enabling business and brands to create commanding "clean name spaces."Continue reading...

ICANN 43, the other digital conference of note this week, wraps up today in Costa Rica with a piece of the Internet's future in hand, as the April 12th deadline for domain name applications draws near.
As of March 10th, an estimated 254 applicants had registered their intent to apply for generic top-level domain names or so-called dot-brands, each one having up to 50 new gTLDs, although "the actual number of new gTLDs for which application will be made is still unknown," according to an official advisory.
The expectation is the number will be relatively low as major companies including Coca-Cola and General Electric plus 50 or so other big brands remain opposed, citing reasons of increased costs, customer confusion and potential for Internet fraud.Continue reading...

More than seven years in the making, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is now accepting applications for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs).
As ICANN puts it, "The world of .com, .gov, .org and 19 other gTLDs will soon be expanded to include all types of words in many different languages. For the first time generic TLDs can include words in non-Latin languages, such as Cyrillic, Chinese or Arabic." And, as brand marketers and lawyers are well aware, .brand URL extensions are now possible for company names, too.

Posted by Mark J. Miller on January 10, 2012 11:22 AM
Plenty of brands (not to mention lawmakers and regulators) are not happy that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (aka ICANN) is going right ahead — despite 11th hour hearings — and opening the doors Thursday for a possible barrage of applications for new generic top-level domain names (.brandchannel, anyone?)
There are currently about 20 such domains (.mil, .edu, .gov, etc.), while so-called gTLDs will add the likes of .canon as companies can snap up their brand names as domain suffixes. It's taken more than six years of hemming and hawing, but even on the eve of dotbranding, the move is still creating controversy among brand holders.
The fear is that those doors will turn into floodgates, and brands will find cybersquatters registering for their trademarks or similar words to their trademarks. The $185,000 registration fee should scare some off, but it also is a hefty price for corporations to pay to make defensive registrations. Reuters reports that Lawrence Strickling, administrator of the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration, sent a letter to ICANN last Tuesday asking the organization to find ways to make it so such registrations aren't needed.
"In meetings we have held with industry over the past weeks, we have learned that there is tremendous concern about the specifics of the program that may lead to a number of unintended and unforeseen consequences and could jeopardize its success," Strickling wrote, according to Reuters.
Rod Beckstrom, ICANN's president, told Adweek that the U.S. government has a seat on ICANN's Government Advisory Committee and has been able to address its qualms directly. He also noted that applications won't just be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. Continue reading...

Yesterday's hearing by the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology of the House Energy and Commerce Committee added to the push-back in Washington to ICANN's imminent plan to introduce generic top-level domains (gTLDs) ushering in the likes of .nike, .ford and other potential branded URLs.
In rare bipartisan unity these days, Republicans and Democrats reiterated concerns articulated last week in a similar hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee.
"I don't think it's ready for prime time," said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., chairman of the subcommittee. "The more we do our role, the more ICANN may take a second look at it. Based on what I heard today, they should delay." (Walden also cited an Apple example that hinted at his own confusion on the issue.)
Advertisers have been lobbying hard against the ICANN initiative and Dan Jaffe, EVP of the Association of National Advertisers, (ANA), testifying on behalf of its Coalition for Responsible Internet Domain Oversight (CRIDO), said the plan is a "reckless experiment" that threatens business and consumers.
"The ICANN program would pile billions of dollars of cost onto a challenging global economy," Jaffe testified. "These are resources that could be much better spent on job creation. This is not merely a bad policy choice but a serious threat to the legitimate interests of both companies and consumers on the Internet. We believe that both the decision and the process ICANN followed are fundamentally flawed and that the roll-out should be delayed."Continue reading...

Brands are waiting to see what happens with ICANN's gTLD program launch, with a second hearing (following last week's grilling) taking place today in Washington.
In the meantime, another domain game — the introduction of .xxx website addresses — is convincing trademark-holders and brand marketers to protect their name and reputation from purveyors of adult content who they fear could sabotage their good names. Nowhere is this more true than for academic brand managers.
The ICM Registry gave trademark holders a one-time chance to pay $200 per address as a blocking charge in a 'sunrise sale,' and among the first academic brands to step up was the University of Kansas, buying kansas.xxx, rockchalkjayhawk.xxx, jayhawks.xxx, and more recently, kustore.xxx, kugirls.xxx and jayhawk.xxx for about $3,000 according to the AP.
"It's truly a preventative blocking measure, blocking others from doing it," commented Paul Vander Tuig, the university's trademark licensing director, to USA Today.
As we noted earlier this month, the scandal-rocked Penn State snapped up some .xxx domains to avoid further embarrassment. Carnegie Mellon, Indiana, Purdue, Pittsburgh and The University of Missouri have followed suit, with the latter securing missouri.xxx, missouritigers.xxx and mizzou.xxx.Continue reading...

With ICANN's opening of the application period for new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) one month away, attention is being paid in Washington, D.C. with two hearings this week, or, as Domain Name Wire wrote, "Get ready for representatives to pretend like they know about domain names."
This morning's U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation hearing aimed to "examine the merits and implications of this new program and ICANN's continuing efforts to address concerns raised by the internet community."
In an piece titled "ICANN opens pepper-spray, fires in own face," Kieren McCarthy, CEO at .Nxt, Inc., who believes the hearing's witness list "is stacked against the program," wrote:
"Having spent seven years putting together plans for the greatest expansion of the Internet, and with applications for potentially thousands of new extensions due to open in just over a month, ICANN should be riding high. Instead it is the focus of not one but two Senate hearings this month and a huge campaign that includes giants such as Procter & Gamble, Hewlett Packard, JC Penny, Johnson & Johnson and Kellogg's to get ICANN to either delay or restructure the program."Continue reading...

Owner to retrieve lost Turlock goat
Turlock's wayward goat may be headed home.
Animal control officials said they had heard from a man who believed the goat found wandering around the police station Monday morning.
Art Velasquez said the goat belonged to his neighbor. "It's usually in the backyard, but it seems to have found an escape route," Velasquez said. The two were headed to animal control to pick the goat up today.
Animal control staff has kept the goat in the yard along with several other goats after picking it up at a church across the street from the Turlock Police Department.

Re-homing victim: 'I could have been dead'
Since she was adopted and brought to America at age 13, Nita Dittenber was passed from family to family through an underground market for adopted kids. The practice, called "private re-homing," was uncovered last year by a Reuters Investigation
It was the first of several times Michelle offered Nita on the Yahoo group. In her posts, Michelle portrayed Nita as a "bully" with an "attitude of entitlement." The girl "lies" and is "manipulative," she wrote, but "does love little kids very much" and has "a soft spot for elderly people as well."
Each time they transferred custody of Nita, the Dittenbers used a notarized power of attorney document stating that Nita was now in the care of the new family, Tony says. No social workers or attorneys were involved, he says, and there was no official vetting of the parents taking in Nita.
SALINAS, Calif. —One of the worst cases he's encountered in more than 30 years of law enforcement. That's how Monterey County Sheriff Scott Miller described a case of child abuse and neglect in Salinas on Friday.
An 8-year-old-girl and two boys, ages 5 and 3, were removed from a house on Russell Road by deputies. Miller said the house's conditions were deplorable and the children were so malnourished, "They looked like they had come out of a concentration camp."
"One of them had been chained to the floor to keep her from obtaining food," Deputy E. Schumacher said.
Miller said the girl may have been shackled at the neck and feet.
Eraca Dawn Craig, 31, and Christian Jessica Deanda, 44, were arrested on child abuse charges March 15.
Miller said the two women are domestic partners. One of the two arrested women was the 3-year-old boy's biological mother. The girl and 8-year-old boy were adopted.
The girl was hospitalized for a week. All three kids exhibited signs of physical and emotional abuse, and officials put them in foster care.
Why One Mother Gave Back Her Adopted Son
By Good Housekeeping | Parenting – Thu, Mar 20, 2014 12:38 PM EDT
A difficult decision was the right choice for Stacey Conner's family.
Stacey Conner, a 41-year-old mom and former attorney from Spokane, Wash., dreamed of having a large family with biological and adopted kids. "The world is a big place with a lot of children in it; we wanted to bring some of those into our family, to give our love to kids without it," she says. After she volunteered in an orphanage in poverty-torn Haiti in 2005, Conner and her husband, Matt, a pharmacist, decided to adopt two children. But the process was so slow that by October 2006, when they brought home their (unrelated) 5-year-old Haitian son and 1-year-old Haitian daughter, Conner had given birth to a son, who was 1. "Having an instant multicultural family was magical," Conner says, "for about two weeks."
Supreme Court rejects ex-York County man's appeal in adopted Russian son's death
By Matt Miller | email@example.com
on March 13, 2014 at 12:48 PM
The state Supreme Court has refused to hear a former York County man's appeal of his involuntary manslaughter, conspiracy and child endangerment convictions in the death of his adopted Russian son.
The state's highest court issued that decision Wednesday, effectively ending 49-year-old Michael J. Craver's legal effort to clear his name in the August 2009 death of his 7-year-old son Nathaniel.
Craver's wife, Nanette, 58, was convicted on identical charges by a York County jury during the couple's trial in 2011. The jury acquitted the former Carroll Township couple of murder charges.
Both Cravers, who now live in Carbon County, were sentenced to 16 months to 4 years in prison, plus 5 years of probation. A county judge ordered their release from prison when he sentenced them in November 2011 because they had already spent 19 months behind bars.

MONROE, N.C. - WCCB has obtained a document from the state of Alaska that indicates a patient filed a complaint of abuse against Wanda Sue Erdmann, aka Wanda Sue Larson, in 1989. The document is heavily redacted. It does reveal that Larson was interviewed by medical board investigators April 26, 1990.
It reads that it was her idea to voluntarily surrender her nursing license.
Larson resigned a few days later and signed a document acknowledging there was an active investigation underway. Larson did not seek legal advice.
WCCB also obtained a copy of a disciplinary report form from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing. In the section titled "misconduct" the "other" box is checked with further detail that reads "was under investigation and Ms. Edrmann surrendered her license rather than see investigation continued."

A state review of the Union County Department of Human Services has found numerous failures in the agency's operations over the last three years.
Union County asked the state to conduct the review after a child protective services supervisor was charged with child abuse in November after an eleven-year-old boy she was caring for was found handcuffed to a porch.
Dorian Lee Harper and Wanda Sue Larson were indicted on child abuse charges in December. Larson was fired from her job as a child protective services supervisor.
Though the case of Wanda Sue Larson spurred the review, the report found problems that went beyond her role at DSS.
And what the state found was a broken system. The report primarily blames a lack of leadership. Richard Matens who became executive director of Union County's DHS in June says the problems go back five years.
"Having three permanent directors and two times when we had interim directors within these programs created a great deal of instability within these programs and so a lot of times, things weren't followed through," Matens says.

Military veteran denying charge of first-degree murder in suspicious death of 3-year-old boy
By Jeon Jeong-yun, staff reporter
Hyun-su was born premature in 2010 at only 2.1kg. He was abandoned by his mother and adopted by an American family in Oct. 2013 under the new name, 'Madoc Hyun-su O'Callaghan'. This 3-year-old toddler then died on Feb 3, only three months after he was adopted. A skull fracture is currently being pointed to as the cause of his death. His adoptive father, Brian Patrick O'Callaghan, 36, is a National Security Agency worker who specializes in Korea, and is facing charges of first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in the death of his adopted son.
Brian Patrick O' Callaghan charged with murdering 3 year old son
By Brad Bell February 18, 2014 - 09:27 am
DAMASCUS, Md. (AP) - Montgomery County police say a Damascus man has been charged in the death of his 3-year-old son.
Police announced Tuesday that 36-year-old Brian O'Callaghan, an NSA analyst and former combat Marine, has been charged with first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in the death of his adopted son, Hyunsu, earlier this month.
It is alleged that sometime between January 31 and February 2 in the family's Damascus home, O'Callaghan beat to the death the three-year-old boy he and his wife adopted from Korea jus three months earlier.
"The injuries to this child were catastrophic injuries," said State's Attorney John McCarthy. "I think the evidence supports the charges that were brought."
Montgomery County man is charged with killing his 3-year-old adopted son

Brian O'Callaghan fought in Iraq, mastered Arabic and became a division chief at the National Security Agency. Last year, wanting a second child for their young family, he and his wife adopted a 3-year-old boy from South Korea.
"He was so loving of him," a family member said.
It is a background that made allegations revealed in Montgomery County District Court on Tuesday seem all the more stunning: Alone with the boy — with his wife out of town, his other son in a different part of the house — O'Callaghan repeatedly struck the child, hitting him so hard that the boy died two days later.
"An absolutely horrific crime on an absolutely innocent young victim," said Assistant State's Attorney Donna Fenton, listing injuries to the boy's head, neck and back. "Basically this child was beaten to death from head to toe."
Madoc Hyeonsu O'Callaghan
Madoc Hyeonsu O'Callaghan, age 3, of Damascus, Md., passed away Monday, February 3, 2014, at Children's Hospital National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Born in South Korea, Madoc joined his forever family, October 23, 2013, and from that day on he was a smiling, content, and loving son and brother. He loved his dogs, his big brother Aidan, and anything his parents made for him to eat.
He wasn't dealt the simplest hand in life, but he found something to love in it every day. He is survived by his parents Brian and Jennifer O'Callaghan, his brother Aidan and his dog Buddy.

State poised to yank Utah adoption agency's license
Adoption » It's not the first time agency has faced state scrutiny.
By Brooke Adams | The Salt Lake Tribune
First Published Feb 12 2014 06:58 pm • Last Updated Feb 12 2014 10:16 pm
A Utah agency that has come under fire in the past for its involvement in controversial adoptions has been put on notice that the state plans to revoke its license after it continued to accept new clients despite being prohibited from doing so.
The Adoption Center of Choice has until Feb. 20 to respond to the revocation notice from the Office of Licensing for the Utah Department of Human Services.
The action follows a notice issued last September, when the agency was told to correct various operating problems and given a probationary license that expires at the end of the month.

Four current and former employees of International Adoption Guides Inc. (IAG), an adoption services provider, have been indicted by a grand jury in South Carolina for allegedly conspiring to defraud the United States in connection with IAG's adoption services in Ethiopia. IAG is a South Carolina company that identified children in Ethiopia for adoption and arranged for their adoption by U.S.-based parents.
Acting Assistant Attorney General Mythili Raman of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney William N. Nettles of the District of South Carolina and Assistant Secretary Gregory B. Starr of the Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security made the announcement.
Dylan Farrow's Brother Moses Defends Woody Allen

Dylan Farrow's Brother Moses Defends Woody Allen
Dylan Farrow's Feb. 1 open letter to The New York Times detailing sexual molestation she says she suffered at the hands of her father Woody Allen reignited a controversy that has divided their family bitterly for more than 20 years.
Now her brother Moses Farrow is speaking out to defend Allen – and accuse their mother, Mia Farrow, of poisoning the children against their father.
"My mother drummed it into me to hate my father for tearing apart the family and sexually molesting my sister," Moses, 36, tells PEOPLE in the magazine's new issue. "And I hated him for her for years. I see now that this was a vengeful way to pay him back for falling in love with Soon-Yi."
A Family Divided
By Greg Gilman
Moses Farrow does not believe his younger sister, Dylan, was ever sexually abused by Woody Allen.
"Of course Woody did not molest my sister," Mia Farrow's 36-year-old estranged adopted son told People in an interview released on Wednesday. "She loved him and looked forward to seeing him when he would visit. She never hid from him until our mother succeeded in creating the atmosphere of fear and hate towards him."
Moses, a family therapist who is now close to Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, told the publication that his mother "drummed" hate into his heart for Allen, but now believes the accusations of Dylan's molestation were "a vengeful way to pay him back for falling in love with Soon-Yi," Farrow's daughter from a previous marriage.

Raffi Cavoukian has released children's albums in five decades, starting with Singable Songs for the Very Young in 1975. He's been around long enough to entertain the grandchildren of his first fans and calls a portion of his audience Beluga grads, referring to his album and song Baby Beluga. "The parents in the shows, right from the get-go, are the ones singing the loudest, it seems," he says.
"The Spring Fete is a great opportunity for mentorship for the South Saskatchewan Youth Orchestra players," stated Alan Denike, the music director of the SSYO. Founded in 1977, the SSYO features talented musicians aged 12 to 22, with 55 members in total. The musicians comprise a full orchestra and play a full slate of concerts throughout the year. The Spring Fete is an opportunity to showcase top tier talent from the orchestra, and to perform some of the most beautiful and complex music in the world.

John Fogerty's latest Canadian tour will include a stop at Regina's Brandt Centre on July 29.
One week away from the release of his latest album, Ringo Starr has announced a string of shows in Canada, including an Oct. 14 date at Regina's Brandt Centre.
The Conexus Arts Centre was quite full Saturday evening as the Regina Symphony Orchestra presented Enigma Variations, its night of British compositions.
If anyone is wondering what's making Colin James tick these days, his current Hearts On Fire tour has all the answers.
The viola, the bowed string instrument often considered the bridge instrument between violin and cello, has often been overlooked as a primary instrument in classical and contemporary music. Although historians claim composers such as Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart preferred playing the viola when playing in ensembles, very few compositions in the classical repertoire highlight the instrument.
Being a full-time touring band isn't for everyone. The commitment to touring can be stressful and daunting. There's long nights on roads seldom travelled, learning to adapt and navigate through new and uncharted territory. Add into the mix extended periods of time away from family and loved ones and it can all eventually begin to take their toll on even the most seasoned musician.
"For a couple of hours the music removes you," said Lore Ruschiensky, artistic director of the Cecilian Concert Series. "It puts you on a different plane." The Octagon, part of the World Stage Series, is an afternoon showcase of classical music at Knox Metropolitan Church on March 22. The event opens the Cecilian Concert Series' 2015-2016 season.
New York-based jazz pianist John Stetch got his latest Juno nomination in a roundabout way. His album Off With the Cuffs features the music of Mozart, Bach and Chopin. But it sounds like a jazz record; Stetch re-composes and improvises the music. On a Bach piece, for instance, he plays the left hand note-for-note but improvises on the right.
Jess Moskaluke isn't the quaint YouTube star she used to be. The Langenburg product first developed a loyal following through a series of cover videos on her YouTube channel. What these videos lacked in production values — most featured Moskaluke singing while accompanied by a single guitarist — they more than made up for in song quality.
After nearly 30 years in the business, Colin James carries some clout. The singer/songwriter and six-time Juno-winner (and 15-time nominee!) has opened for Stevie Ray Vaughan, recorded with members of Bob Dylan's live band and in 2013 was inducted to Canada's Music Hall of Fame.
Brighter Futures For Children is marking a milestone on March 12 with its 10th annual fundraising event. Each year the Regina Early Learning Centre partners with the SCEP Centre and Knight Archer Insurance for a major fundraising event at the Casino Regina Show Lounge, with musical entertainment, a silent auction and prize-winning draws in support of Brighter Futures for Children.
Ewan Dobson, Canadian acoustic guitarist extraordinaire, credits the same self-discipline that helps him fulfil a hectic touring schedule with his fortunate and narrow escape from a recent harrowing driving incident.
"Our songs are about life, death, freedom, sex, drugs and rock and roll," said Ian Dillon, singer and guitarist of The Electric Revival. "We don't try and go much deeper than that. We're not Bob Dylan."
John, Paul, George and Ringo are coming to Regina. Or at least, the closest it comes to the real thing, in the live Beatles tribute production Let It Be. Previously staged on Broadway and London's West End, Let It Be is a musical ride through Beatlemania, from those first clandestine gigs in the Cavern Club all the way to Sgt. Pepper.
Samantha Savage Smith, an emerging Calgary-based indie/pop singer-songwriter, is getting by in her solo career — with a little help from her friends. A young woman with a haunting voice and a dedication to creativity, Smith has just released a second CD and is embarking on a tour that will envelope Regina and many Canadian points to the east, plus some work in the United States.
As his career evolves, Dan Mangan is walking a fine line between growing a larger following while staying true to his existing fan base. The Vancouver-based Mangan, long a darling of CBC Radio 3, Exclaim!, and folk festivals across the country, is playing larger venues on his present North American tour, which sees the 31-year old perform Saturday at Darke Hall.
One Bad Son's high-range vocals, hypnotic guitar work and bass drum drive sends even the most uptight stiff into a fist-pumping, headbanging ruckus and the Saskatoon band is ready to unleash its rock 'n' roll pandemonium on the Queen City.

Content Management
Remember the good ol' days of the Web? Back when a webmaster was a jack-of-all-trades, doing everything from graphic design to database programming to DNS table manipulation? As the Web matured, however, one-person web sites became increasingly rare. True, it's still relatively easy for a someone to create and maintain a simple web site, but even the smallest organizations typically split responsibility between programmers, designers and the people who provide content. Moreover, many organizations want different people to be responsible for different types of content, with each having ultimate authority over a particular section.
Of course, this is old hat to the publishing world. Back when I edited my college newspaper, we used a composition and typesetting system called Atex. Atex was beloved for many reasons but mostly because it worked the way that newspapers do. Reporters using an Atex system would send articles to their editors by pressing the Send button on a massive, specialized keyboard. Editors could look at the list of articles awaiting their attention, edit articles, send an article back to the reporter who wrote it or send articles onto the Typesetting department. By design, everyone was forbidden from viewing, modifying or retrieving articles they had sent to the next person in the process chain. The image of a reporter shouting "stop the presses!" might be romantic and inspiring, but it is also unrealistic in today's world, where newspapers are businesses with tight deadlines.
As web sites grow to resemble newspapers, we should not be surprised to see them adopting software—known as content management systems, or CMS—that works much like Atex used to do. But organizing documents, people and work flow is a difficult task, particularly if you try to put everyone's needs into a single software package. So even though content management is crucial to an increasing number of web sites, CMS salespeople have gained a reputation for selling bloated, expensive software that is large on promises and small on delivery.
One of the problems with content management is that every web site has different needs. For this reason, proprietary CMS software usually is sold in two parts. The customer first pays for the basic software and then pays at least as much in consulting and support services. Thus, CMS software is not only expensive but requires a fair amount of implementation and testing time. In other words, a CMS usually is closer to a toolkit than a finished application. Most of these toolkits include the following functionality:
Users: if everyone on a web site is going to be given different permissions, obviously each user will need a different login. A CMS thus comes with user-management software, allowing you to create, delete, edit and ban users on the system. Most systems also make it possible for users to retrieve forgotten passwords.
Permissions: just as Linux allows you to set read, write and execute permissions on different files, CMS software typically allows the site administrator to define different permissions for each user on the system. To return to our newspaper analogy, reporters are allowed to enter content, editors can modify content (or return it to a reporter) and publishers can make content publicly available (or return it to an editor).
Groups: although you theoretically can assign permissions to individual users, this quickly becomes tedious. So, most CMS software allows you to group users together for the sake of assigning permissions. For example, you can indicate that Tom, Dick and Harry can write and edit but not publish, or you can assign these permissions to the Canonical Names group, with the same effect.
Templates: many templating systems exist, including JSP, HTML::Mason and PHP. The best ones separate design, content and programming logic from each other, so designers, writers and programmers can work on a site simultaneously without stepping on one another's toes.
Publishing: the Web's biggest double-edged sword is its instantaneousness. The moment you modify foo.html on your server, everyone can see what changes you made. What if you made a mistake? What if you want to test the file beforehand? The CMS solution is to mark each piece of content as published when it should be viewed by the outside world. Until an article has been published, it is invisible.
Staging or previewing: just as newspaper and magazine publishers want to see what the finished product will look like before they begin to print actual copies, web publishers want to preview their site before it is live on the Web. Thus, many sites run staging servers, identical in most ways to their production servers except they are hidden from the outside world. Testing is done on these preview servers; when the editor or publisher is satisfied, content is pushed to the production servers. A CMS almost certainly will allow you to set up your system in this way.
Work flow: staging is the final step in what might be a long journey from an author's workstation to a production web server. How content makes its way through the system is known as work flow, and much of what a CMS does is allow you to define and manage that work flow. Should reporters be allowed to yank stories back from their editors? How many levels of editors do you want? Where do designers fit in? Who gives the final send-off to content? All of these questions are handled by the work-flow portion of a CMS.
Publishing dates: the good news about the Web is that things are published instantaneously. But what if your corporation is announcing a stock split and cannot reveal that information until 9:00 AM on Monday? You could sit next to the computer, waiting until the clock strikes 9:00 to press the Enter key and revealing the document for everyone to see. Or you can use a CMS, which typically allows you to specify when an article will appear, as well as when it should expire.
Web-based editing: although a web browser is one of the worst possible programs to use for serious text editing, most CMS systems allow you to write some or all of your documents using your browser. To be fair, just about every CMS also lets you upload files from your local computer. Web-based editing comes in handy when you're on the run or want to touch up one or two things. Of course, any CMS that offers such editing facilities also checks that someone trying to edit a page is authorized to do so.
Search: most CMS packages offer some sort of search facility, so you can find documents within the system.
Although this list is by no means exhaustive, it should give you a sense of the types of problems that a CMS tries to solve. But as you can imagine, every CMS offers a slightly different set of features and different ways of attacking these problems.
Because a CMS spends much of its time storing, retrieving and tracking content, it should come as no surprise that a database is almost essential to a CMS. Commercial CMS packages typically expect you to use a proprietary database system, such as Oracle or Microsoft's SQL Server. As you might expect, open-source CMS software generally is designed to work best with open-source databases, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. Zope's Content Management Framework (CMF), which is a toolkit for creating a custom CMS, also uses a database, but in this case, it's the built-in Zope Object Database (ZODB) rather than an external relational database.

She used to be a reasonably good Danish junior during the U12-U16 years. She was an elite player and played on the Danish national junior team with players like Karen Barbat and Mai Grage (both also born 1992). She won championship doubles titles as a junior but she faded a lot after her 16th year, and never got any considerable career - not even on Danish level. She doesn't play a lot anymore, and is currently ranked #167 in Denmark (which is approximately the same as #1,670,000,000 in the world). Love the photo.
It had occurred to me,on occasion,to ask you that same question, because Julie IS quite lovely.....but I didn't feel that I knew you well enough to pry

Why is anyone rating this film?? A 5 already? I just saw the trailer for this at The Hobbit this weekend, and it's not out yet. Slow down people... the trailer looks badass and it's going to fill the void while I wait for the supra-anticipated by me movie, the new Godzilla! :) Looks like a fun ride I'll admit .. but I remember watching the trailer for The Last Airbender and crapping my pants at how cool I thought it would be and it ended up BEING crap in my pants. Meh. I will definately be going to the theatre for this one!
This movie has the potential to be big but I doubt it will be but i will still watch it for the awesome effects.

NEW YORK — Trevor Noah, the newly announced host of "The Daily Show," rejected the backlash over his graphic tweets targeting Jews and women as an unfair reflection of him.
"To reduce my views to a handful of jokes that didn't land is not a true reflection of my character, nor my evolution as a comedian," Noah posted Tuesday on his Twitter account, the same one that included past tweets others deemed offensive.
Comedy Central also came to his defense, calling Noah a "provocative" comedian who "spares no one, himself included."
WASHINGTON — Pamela Hunt is so overwhelmed by her $56,000 in student loans for what she considers a worthless criminal justice master's degree that she's joined others on a "debt strike" and refusing to pay back the money.
On Tuesday, she walked out of a meeting with officials from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Education Department she and other former students from for-profit colleges attended feeling cautiously optimistic about the burden being eased.
NEW YORK — Since Apple shook up the music world with iTunes a little more than a decade ago, online music has exploded and become the central way many people enjoy and discover music. Internet services such as Pandora and Spotify have millions of users. Now, several high-profile musicians are behind what's being billed as the first artist-owned music-streaming service.
NEW YORK — "X Files" actor David Duchovny is releasing his first music album.
He announced Tuesday he'll release "Hell or Highwater" on May 12. The album will include 12 tracks he wrote.
Duchovny has won two Golden Globes and is best known for his roles in the TV series "The X Files" and "Californication."
He says in a statement making the album was a "dream come true," though he adds it's shocking to think he has a musical career.
The first single is the title track and already is available. The music is being released on ThinkSay Records.
WASHINGTON — Republicans and liberal Democrats have something in common: Both are trying to keep alive the prospect that Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren will run for president.
Warren isn't playing along, making the rounds this week to — yet again — insist she's not interested in the White House.
WASHINGTON — The State Department says it can find only four emails sent between former Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and her staff concerning drone strikes and certain U.S. surveillance programs, and those notes have little to do with either subject.
She asks for a phone call in one, a phone number in another. She seeks advice on how best to condemn information leaks, and accidentally replies to one work email with questions apparently about decorations.
TRENTON, N.J. — Two years after Gov. Chris Christie privatized the state's lottery, New Jersey's treasurer is lowering revenue projections for fiscal year that ends June 30.
Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff did not say specifically how much the expected revenue dropped on Monday during an Assembly budget hearing but attributed the decrease to industry-wide trends.
State documents show that initial revenue forecasts projected $1.037 billion in revenue for the current fiscal year, but Christie's 2016 proposal reflected lower receipts at $955 million.
BOSTON — Lawyers for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev rested their case in his federal death penalty trial Tuesday, a day after they began presenting testimony designed to show his late older brother was the mastermind of the 2013 terror attack.
The defense admitted during opening statements that Tsarnaev participated in the bombings. But Tsarnaev's lawyer said he was a troubled 19-year-old who had fallen under the influence of his radicalized 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, who died following a shootout with police days after the bombings.
NEW YORK - A day after Trevor Noah was declared the new host of "The Daily Show," complete with the blessing of the exiting Jon Stewart, graphic tweets targeting women, Jews and victims of the Ebola virus are causing a social media backlash.
By Tuesday, Trevor Noah was a trending topic on Twitter as he drew fire for jokes described as tasteless, hateful - and unfunny. Rosanne Barr was among those calling out the 31-year-old South African comic, who has an international following and two million Twitter followers.
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana's Republican legislative leaders said Monday they're working on adding language to a new state law to make it clear that it doesn't allow discrimination against gays and lesbians, while Democrats countered that a full repeal is the only way to stem the widespread criticism.
The measure prohibits state laws that "substantially burden" a person's ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. The definition of "person" includes religious institutions, businesses and associations.
FORT MEADE, Md. — Two men dressed as women smashed a stolen car into a police vehicle after they disobeyed commands at the closely guarded gates of the nation's spy agency on Monday, prompting police to open fire.
One of the men died, the other was injured and a police officer also was taken to a hospital. Details remained unclear hours later. Initial images from the scene showed emergency workers loading the uniformed officer into an ambulance. Nearby were a dark-colored SUV and an SUV emblazoned with "NSA Police," both heavily damaged.

Help us "change up" the elevation design on this ranch
Hi, (Excuse some spelling- trying to eliminate SPAM)
I would like your suggestions on how to make the elevation more impressive/ unique/ have more character.
The young man working with us on this desig-n is a structural_ engineer_ and his father is a general_contractor we want to get a bid from. We did not know at the time we hired him, to draw up plans, that this is his first house he has designed. We know little about building- a home- and we think we would have benefited greatly from someone with experience.
We feel the elevation he has given us is fine but wish it had more character. It looks like every other house in a subdivision. We would really welcome any comments suggestions from Garden Web . It is very impressive what everyone does for one another here.
Some points of interest:
-Our lot is in a fores-t that slopes down to a lake cove. We want lots of windows on the back of the house.
-We want a large screened in porch.
-We did ask him to cut back the total ranch square footage to be near 2100. But I am worried we took too much away from the dining & great room.
-I am worried the kitche-n may be dark. The back will be facing the west.
- He has the roof at 7/12...that does not seem like much of a pitch. Would your recommend it increased?
-Looking for a look that will stay "fresh-" for a long time.
All your comments are welcome!
Thank you :)

Nice image and like your idea of a porch. It gives it a totally different look. What pitch is the roof?
The sun will disappear behind a large hill. We will not get much afternoon direct sunlight.
I attached the view looking to the west. Standing where the back of the house would end.
I don't know what the pitch is. It would have to change to fully incorporate the porch roof or the porch roof could be a shallower pitch possibly. The dormer position would also depend upon whether then entire front pitch of the roof changed over the porch area , or on how high the pitch changed for a separate porch roof. This is just a drawing of an idea that could work but the details would need to be worked out.
Maybe one of these could work?
This one flips the garages, so the double garage is toward the back and the single is slid under a long porch roof that extends across the front elevation. This makes the walk to the front door shorter and gets rid of the obvious garage mass up front. Personally, I'm not opposed to front facing garages, as long as they're pushed back and the door is attractive.
I kept main roofs on both 7/12, porch roofs at 2/12 (may have to be steeper depending on climate).
Second option keeps the double garage up front, but extends the porch to full length and breaks up the front garage wall a bit to disguise it from the road. Front facing gables are 12/12.
I can explain/provide more pics if needed.

Nicke: That is really amazing how a house can have a totally different feel. I like the "cottage" look.
We want to keep the double garage as a side entry. This gives us privacy if our garage door is open because the bend in the street is at our driveway entrance, so cars will be looking into our garage as they approach the bend in the road. I am not sure what questions to ask but would like to see more pictures. I like the little windows a lot.
Would a window like this work on your elevation? I love the little roof:
Craftsman Spaces by Wayzata General Contractors Stonewood, LLCSo very kind of both palimpsest & nicke360 to provide these drawings.
Did you look at the floor plan? I have read some of your pasts posts and respect your opinions you have offered others and would like to hear from you about the floor plan.

what were the issues?
For now it's going to be storage so all the 'junk' my wife has in the basement will move above the garage.
You are not getting the job done turnkey?Who hired the designer? The framing contractor?Also for new construction and qualifies roofer should be able to quote based on the drawings.
They forced us to spend $3,000 extra to get the mere $600 permit. Ridiculous! GC is making some calls and trying to line up the demo for Friday finally.
I'm waiting for a final draft of the drawings but the Structural Engineer turned the foundation into Fort Knox. The original footings were 36" x 12" and the new ones are 96" x 18". It was a single layer of rebar and now it's a double layer of rebar in each wall. This garage is being so over built it's nuts. After it's done the safest place in the house will be the garage. LOL
but if an engineer presents the plans in the first place, they should not need modification to get stamped.

Next year I'm gonna...
participate again with the card exchange. I usually do, but this year took a break. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed getting all of your cards every year...some 10 or more years, in fact. This year I have four cards. My Christmas card tree looks sad-lol.
I've been sick so am only now doing my own cards. I now have to go out in the nasty weather and mail them. I hope they make it by Christmas.
Kath--I thought you were going to say you were going to go on a long vacation at Christmas time :0 (I've had that thought a few years!)
This was the first year I've participated in the card exchange and just love all the beautiful cards. Next year I'll get an earlier start and send even more. I also send to between 30-40 cards to family and friends.
Hope you feel better soon. It's awful to be sick during the holidays when there's so much to do. ((Kathleen))
Hi Kathsgrdn,
Sorry that I can't offer a fancy card, with bows and things ...
... but if you want the Christmas message that I'm sending to family, loved ones and friends ...
... I offered it to my KT friends on a post so designated, about yesterday.
And you get good wishes from a warm heart to go with it.

PHOENIX Daron Sutton and Mark Grace will not return as the Diamondbacks' television broadcast team next season. The D-backs severed their relationship with Sutton because of "philosophical differences," team presidentCEO Derrick Hall said Thursday. Grace's Aug. 23 arrest for driving under the influence was the reason he will not retained, Hall said. It was Graces second offense in 15 months. "Were looking to have a clean start," Hall said. "When it came to Daron, it came down to philosophical differences in broadcasting. Its no knock on him. Both he and Grace were a good team. I thank them for everything they have done. Its just time to move in a different direction." Grace was pulled over in Scottsdale for having an expired registration, and he was found to be driving with a suspended license. In addition, the car he was driving was not equipped with a court-mandated interlock device. "We had told him before that if it happened again, we would not have him return to the boot...

Now maybe the team will try to hire a color commentator who actually knows what he's talking about, because Grace ws a moron...plain and simple.

News Releases
News Releases
For the first time since 2007, Phoenix-area home prices increased from one month to the next. A new report from the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University shows a slight 0.8 percent bump up in Valley home prices from May to June this year.
The global financial crisis has focused new attention on the need for business ethics and accountability. In addition to its already strong lineup of ethics coursework, the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University is also now offering an innovative course for all incoming accounting students designed specifically to teach leadership, ethics, accountability and professionalism.
More homes are being sold in the Phoenix area now than last year, but the market is still flooded with foreclosures. That's according to the latest Realty Studies report from the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. The report shows one foreclosure happening for every two regular home resales in the Valley last month.
President Bush's chief economic adviser, the chairman and CEO of U.S. Bank, and the heads of Mayo Clinic, Deloitte LLP and Caterpillar will be among those featured in the Economic Club of Phoenix speaker series this season. Every year, Phoenix-area audiences are invited to come and hear some of the top names in business speak at the luncheon series. The Economic Club of Phoenix (ECP) was founded by a group of prominent business executives called the Dean's Council of 100, in conjunction with the W. P. Carey School of Business.
Phoenix-area housing prices are declining at a slower rate than earlier this year, indicating that the worst is over for falling home values, a new Arizona State University study has found.
Despite these rough economic times, some of the best businesses in Arizona are being honored for helping to boost our economy and our community. The W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University is naming 10 businesses as this year's Spirit of Enterprise Awards finalists. The awards recognize companies that demonstrate ethics, energy and excellence in entrepreneurship.
Health insurance is now a major topic of discussion for both lawmakers and average Americans just trying to figure out what their future coverage will look like. A top researcher at Arizona State University recently received a major international award for his work on how insurance markets really work and whether existing insurance "risk pools" even make sense.
Amy Hillman, a nationally renowned professor of management and extremely popular teacher at Arizona State University, was recently named the new executive dean of the W. P. Carey School of Business. Hillman will become second-in-command at the school, working under the leadership of Dean Robert Mittelstaedt, who has helped drive W. P. Carey into the Top 30 rankings for both graduate and undergraduate business schools in the United States.
Small business owners struggling in the rough economy will receive valued education from top professors through a special program at the W. P. Carey School of Business this fall. Salt River Project (SRP) and the business school at Arizona State University are holding their second annual Small Business Leadership Academy, the first program of its kind on the West Coast.
Phoenix-area home prices are "at or close to a market bottom," according to a new Arizona State University study that offers hope to many Valley homeowners. The Arizona State University-Repeat Sales Index (ASU-RSI) measures changes in average Phoenix-area home prices from year to year. The latest report confirms home prices are falling at a slower and slower pace.
