Do you feel pressured when you diet to lose weight on your weight losing diet plan ? There is going to be some natural pressure or stress from wanting to work hard to achieve a goal; however, the problem with how most people approach dieting is that they believe everything has to work out seamlessly.
If they so much as look at a cookie the wrong way, emotional triggers condemn their actions. What this ends up resulting in is the people aren't able to keep up with their diets, caving in under the pressure of expected perfection, and they go back to their comfortable yet dangerously unhealthy eating habits.
The diet is then revisited again and again with the same results. If enough motivation and direction is engaged, a person might lose a decent amount of weight, but then he or she has to put up with life's hurdles and end up putting the weight back on.
Okay, so everyone's weight loss and dieting stories aren't depressing, but unfortunately, this is the picture for many people. Why? The reason is that people think "in the now," and they aren't educated about healthy eating and dieting enough to work against the temptations that provide them instant gratification.
The key to the best weight losing diet plan is quite simple. Think about it for a minute. Are you ever going to want to eat a piece of fried chicken or indulge in a brownie or fudge sundae ever again? Are you going to want to eat at your favorite restaurant, or are you going to be stuck at a birthday party in which you really should opt for that piece of cake? Of course you are!
The key to a proper weight losing diet plan is to get real and think about life, dieting and exercise the way it was intended. Get your hour of exercise in daily, and focus on making healthy food choices one at a time. Now, this doesn't mean make healthy impulsive choices or pick your foods on a whim. Yes, planning is required, but allow yourself some room for error.
People are not equipped to fall in love with change. This can cause people to lose focus and start looking at all their goals with nearsightedness. If you look at dieting as a lifestyle change that is going to evolve over time as you get older, then you're going to be able to take a step back, breathe and enjoy the adventure.
Dieting is a lifetime of changes and decisions that you make to affect the outcome of your overall health. It's not just about losing weight. As you learn about different weight loss techniques that make sense medically speaking, take them on and try them out.
Look into natural supplements that you can take to help aide your efforts in weight loss. Get excited about cooking and recipes, and try out new foods that you've never tasted. There are all kinds of ways to motivate yourself the right way about dieting to achieve long term success and not short term defeat.

New York City's Madison Square Garden will host the "12.12.12" benefit concert for Hurricane Sandy relief next month, and the lineup is pretty amazing. The Who, Kanye West, Roger Waters, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Paul McCartney, and Billy Joel will perform 45-minute sets, with Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl, Bon Jovi, and Alicia Keys sitting in on the headlining acts' sets.
Tickets go on sale Monday, December 3rd at noon, but prices have not yet been announced. Ticketmaster will be waiving their service fees on the tickets sold, and StubHub has offered to donate any profits made from ticket re-sales to the hurricane relief efforts (though greedy scalpers will still laugh their way to the bank). Be sure to check out the official 12.12.12. event page for updates.

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Original score composed and conducted by Bill Conti.
|Recorded at The Music Centre, Wembley, England. Includes liner notes by Jeff Bond.
|All tracks have been digitally remastered
|When the James Bond film series entered the '80s, the producers decided it was time to give the series a makeover. The result was For Your Eyes Only, a tougher film that downplayed the wisecracks, gimmicks and comic book elements that dominated the Bond films of the '70s. This film was also noticeable for replacing regular series soundtrack composer John Barry with Bill Conti, a composer best known for his work on the Rocky films. Conti keeps For Your Eyes Only's score full of symphonic grandeur and spy film theatrics, but also adds several new elements to update the sound to fit the early '80s. For instance, Conti adds elements of dance and funk music to the action cues: "A Drive in the Country" and "Melina's Revenge" both work funky basslines, roaring electric guitar leads and whooping synthesizer lines in with the standard orchestral elements. The modernized tone also extends to the film's Sheena Easton theme song: it replaces the lush strings and brassy orchestrations that typically dominated Bond theme songs with a minimalist style built on synthesizers. However, Conti proves elsewhere that he could comfortably write music in the traditional vein without utilizing any electronic or pop elements: "Take Me Home" is a lovely romantic interlude that highlights a gentle flugelhorn solo against a backdrop of lush orchestrations, and "St. Cyril's Monastery" is a taut suspense cue that builds from atmospheric strings into a brassy reinterpretation of the "James Bond Theme." Purists may complain that the pop elements Conti incorporates into this score date it, but there is no denying that the overall soundtrack is tight and skillfully written. In the end, For Your Eyes Only stands as one of the best James Bond film scores of the '80s. In 2000, in order to match the remastering and expansion of the earlier James Bond film soundtracks controlled by EMI, Rykodisc released a remastered and expanded version of For Your Eyes Only. In addition to dramatically improved fidelity, the latter was expanded from 12 to 19 tracks, and the bonus material -- appended to the existing 12-track master -- was especially notable for showcasing the scoring of the movie's underwater sequences, as well as several of the extended action scenes. "Sub vs. Sub," in particular, is an orchestral tour de force with wonderfully vivid writing for the strings, and could easily pass for concert music, and by itself is justification for owning the Rykodisc version. ~ Donald A.

In Nemecek & Cole v. Horn, 2012 DJDAR 11353 (2012), the California Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District decided an interesting fee case. The court approved the trial court's ruling granting fees at approximately $400 per hour despite the fact that the firm was paid fees at the rate of between $100 to $215 per hour. The ruling was based on prior California cases which allowed fee awards above what was "actually incurred."
The procedural record of the case was lengthy and complex. The plaintiff (lawyer #1) retained a law firm to represent him in a fee dispute against a former client. The matter resulted in a favorable verdict for lawyer #1. However, the award was offset by a significant judgment on a counter‑claim. The lawyer was ordered to pay $380,000 in attorney fees to the former client.
Lawyer #1 alleged that his attorney improperly handled the lawsuit (i.e. lawyer #2). Lawyer #1 tendered a demand to arbitrate the controversy. In response, lawyer #2 filed a counter‑claim for unpaid fees and costs. The arbitrator concluded that lawyer #2 was entitled to nearly $300,000 in attorney fees, and denied any right of offset to lawyer #1.
Lawyer #1 then attempted to collaterally attack the judgment. He alleged improper undisclosed relationships between lawyer #2 and the arbitrator who decided the case. Lawyer #2 and the arbitrator were members of the same local county bar association's executive committee. On that basis, lawyer #1 filed papers seeking to overturn the arbitration award. The trial court entered judgment in favor of lawyer #2.
The court of appeal affirmed the decision of the trial court. The court of appeal held:
"the reasonable market value of the attorney's services is the measure of a reasonable hourly rate. This standard applies regardless of whether the attorneys claiming fees charge nothing for their services, charge at below‑market or discounted rates, represent the client on a straight contingent fee basis, or are in‑house counsel."
"the reasonable market value of the attorney's services is the measure of a reasonable hourly rate. This standard applies regardless of whether the attorneys claiming fees charge nothing for their services, charge at below‑market or discounted rates, represent the client on a straight contingent fee basis, or are in‑house counsel."
This is not the first time a court has awarded above‑market rates to a fee applicant. A case in point is PLCM Group, Inc. v. Drexler, 22 Cal. 4th 1084 (2000). In that case, the California Supreme Court utilized augmented rates on behalf of a company represented by in‑house counsel. That court ruled that a fee award may be based on market value, not the actual cost to the company. Based on these rulings, there is likely to be many more fee cases filed with requests for awards for more than what was actually incurred.

However, Japan has developed considerable strengths in a variety of dual-use technologies. This is significant because the United States is currently engaged in a broad effort to increase utilization of the commercial technology base for defense systems.1 There are two reasons for this effort. First, with ongoing defense budget cuts as a result of the end of the Cold War, there is a growing imperative to stretch and restructure weapons procurement and research and development (R&D). A greater use of commercial items and commercially derived technologies, particularly in subsystems and components, should reduce costs. The second reason for a greater U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) reliance on commercial technology is that in areas such as electronics, software, and materials, commercial technology developments are outpacing technologies developed solely for defense uses. In some cases, greater utilization of the commercial technology base would deliver benefits to U.S. weapons systems in the form of greater capability as well as lower costs.
Japanese strengths in microelectronics, advanced materials, advanced manufacturing, and other critical technologies are well known and comparable to the capability possessed collectively by our NATO allies. As noted, Japan's defense procurement and technology development policies have emphasized utilization of commercial technologies and civil-military integration, particularly at the components level. 2 There are a number of obstacles blocking DoD access to Japan's commercial technologies, including the fact that ownership often resides in Japanese companies that are not traditional Japanese defense suppliers; the Japan Defense Agency (JDA) and other Japanese government agencies might have little leverage.3 Also, Japanese advantages in many high-technology fields tend to take the form of manufacturing practices and techniques that may be more difficult to transfer at arms length than "hard technology, " which can be expressed in drawings and technical instructions. Finally, some have questioned the interest of U.S. companies in Japanese technology and the willingness of Japanese companies to transfer their technology. 4
The National Research Council's (NRC) Committee on Japan organized several workshops in which representatives of U.S. companies discussed Japanese strengths in dual-use technology areas. One workshop focused on advanced composites, and the other on optoelectronics. Table 5-1 shows selected Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) R&D programs in advanced materials and optoelectronics. These are not the only areas of Japanese technological strength in which contributions to meeting U.S. defense needs might be pursued, but they are useful examples that illustrate more general issues.

At first, Julia Reedy's hammer throw mark at Saturday's Tiny Lister Invitational at Cal State Los Angeles was lauded as a national record.
It wasn't.
That's fine with Reedy, who says it's just a matter of time before she breaks the U.S. junior college mark.
"Don't worry, I'll break the national (record) soon," the Saddleback College sophomore said confidently.
It's that confidence that's helped propel Reedy, a 2011 Mission Viejo High graduate, to the upper echelon of women's hammer throwers in the country.
Her mark of 58.56 meters (192 feet, 1 inch) Saturday – albeit not a national record – broke the California junior college all-time mark of 56.92 meters, which was held by Reedy's former Gaucho teammate, Liz Tepe. Tepe, coincidentally, set the old record at the Tiny Lister Invitational last season.
"I was really surprised by the mark," said Reedy. "It didn't feel good at all. I thought it was about 50 meters, not 58."
Which makes the 5-11, 160-pound dynamo believe she can easily exceed the national mark of 60.20 meters (197-6), set by Kate Burton of Clark Community College (Vancouver, Wash.) in 2005.
"She can throw farther than 200 feet," says Reedy's throwing coach, Shaun McGinley.
And McGinley should know. In the last three seasons at Saddleback, his athletes have set a national record, two California state records, and have won a state championship in the hammer.
"Julia has all the tools of a great hammer thrower," McGinley said. "She's explosive, powerful, fast and fearless. She's also mentally tough and has a good understanding of what needs to be done."
There's no doubting Reedy's toughness. As a junior and senior at MVHS, the Dove Canyon resident tore her ACL in both of her knees, forcing her to miss parts of the basketball season. Instead of having surgery quickly, Reedy toughed it out to throw the discus and shot put both years for the Diablos track & field team. In her senior year, she won the South Coast League title in both events.
"I basically competed with two torn ACLs and two knee braces," she said.
Her last surgery was in June 2011. After rehabilitating her left knee, Reedy gave up basketball, stepped onto the practice ring and began throwing in October.
"I was very hesitant at first, because I had no idea what the sport was," she said. "I just didn't want to hurt my knees anymore. But as I started getting into it, I started liking it more and more."

Technology Transfer and Enterprise Performance: A Firm-Level Analysis in China
Bilgin, Mehmet Huseyin, Lau, Chi Keung Marco, Karabulut, Gokhan, Journal of Business Economics and Management
1. Introduction
Solow (1956) model concludes that the growth rate of output in the long-run depends upon the rate at which technological change occurs. Exports and foreign direct investment (FDI) is one channel though which technology and hence economic performance could be enhanced. A number of studies document a direct relationship between trade and economic growth using cross-country data (1). For the study in China, using provincial data set from 1952 to 2005, Lau (2010) examines the determinants of conditional convergence in China. The results indicate that low inflation, transport and telecommunication infrastructure, and trade openness could stimulate economic growth in China. Recently, a number of papers have empirically examined the relationship between exporting and economic performance using firm-level panel data. Even studies find stylized fact that exporting firms achieve higher productivity than non-exporters (2), and exporting activities granger cause productivity (3).
However, there is a lack of literature on examining the relationship between a firm's productivity and imports though which technological progress occurred for Chinese firms, except Fan and Hu (2008), they use the World Bank data covering the time period, 1998-2000 and reach the conclusion that importing machinery could improve firm performance. Nevertheless, our study complements the existing literature by using the latest data set, and more importantly, by examining the effects of exports and importing machinery on a firm's performance in a dynamic panel econometrics setup. In the following sections, we examine and compare the effects of exports, imports of capital and machinery, and in-house R & D on a firm's productivity.
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 reviews the results of previous studies and discusses potential causal effects of exports and imports on firm performance. Section 3 describes the data we have used in this study. Section 4 provides research methodology and constructs key variables. Empirical results and its implications will be discussed in section 5. Section 6 concludes the paper and suggests some directions for further research.
2. Impact of globalization on firm productivity
2.1. Exporting activities
There exist several studies which focus on the causal relationship between exports and productivity. Kunst and Marin (1989) explore this relationship based on Austrian data using time series analysis and find no evidence of causal link from exports to productivity. Marin (1992) analyzes causality between export and labor productivity for the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan. This study also suggests that there is no causality between these two variables. Some further studies claim that these studies have some methodological problems and find evidence of causal link from exports to productivity.
Exporting activity may affect firm productivity for the following reasons: First, Grossman and Helpman (1991) and Evenson and Westphal (1995) suggest that overseas buyers may provide technical assistance to domestic exporting firms, hence improving firm productivity. Second, Clerides et al. (1998) argue in their model that active involvement of exporting firms in the international market could improve firm productivity because of easier access to world frontier technology at a lower cost. Third, a higher international standard on product quality could motivate exporting firms upgrading their production technology (Verhoogen 2008). Fourth, participation in the export market could reduce information cost on new product innovation and market demand (Fafchamps et al. 2002; Maurin et al. 2002).
2.2. Importing activities
The casual relationship between imports of capital and productivity has not been examined extensively in current literature, in particular at the firm specific level (4). Previous studies have shown a positive relationship between import of capital and economic growth at the national level as a channel for technological diffusion. …

Nitrogen and Carbon Inexorably Linked in the Environment
A new study exploring the growing worldwide problem of nitrogen pollution from soils to the sea shows that global ratios of nitrogen and carbon in the environment are inexorably linked, a finding that may lead to new strategies to help mitigate regional problems ranging from contaminated waterways to human health.
The University of Colorado at Boulder study found the ratio between nitrates — a naturally occurring form of nitrogen found in soils, streams, lakes and oceans — and organic carbon is closely governed by ongoing microbial processes that occur in virtually all ecosystems. The team combed exhaustive databases containing millions of sample points from tropical, temperate, boreal and polar sites, including well-known, nitrogen-polluted areas like Chesapeake Bay, the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
"We have developed a new framework to explain how and why carbon and nitrogen appear to be so tightly linked," said CU-Boulder doctoral student Philip Taylor, lead author on the new study. "The findings are helping us to explain why nitrate can become so high in some water bodies but remain low in others."
A paper by Taylor and CU-Boulder ecology and evolutionary biology Professor Alan Townsend is being published in the April 22 issue of Nature. The study was funded in part by the National Science Foundation. Both Taylor and Townsend also are affiliated with CU-Boulder's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research.
While the vast majority of nitrogen gas is abundant in the atmosphere, it is nonreactive and unavailable to most life, said Townsend. But in 1909 a process was developed to transform the nonreactive gas into ammonia, the active ingredient of synthetic fertilizer. Humans now manufacture more than 400 billion pounds of fertilizer each year — much of which migrates from croplands into the atmosphere, waterways and oceans — creating a suite of environmental problems ranging from coastal "dead zones" and toxic algal blooms to ozone pollution and human health issues.
Taylor said the new study indicates that in virtually every area of Earth's environment where there is substantially more dissolved organic carbon than nitrates, the nitrogen is sucked up by microbial communities. "But most of these nitrates are probably not locked away forever," said Taylor. "Instead, they are passed on to other ecosystems, essentially just moving pollution problems elsewhere in the environment."
The consistent relationship between nitrogen and carbon detected in the study was surprising, said Taylor, a doctoral student in CU-Boulder's ecology and evolutionary biology department. "The microbial communities that are controlling this link are found across the globe, whether in pristine environments or in areas of heavy pollution."
Taylor said the CU-Boulder team looked at available data from virtually every ecosystem type, ranging from high-altitude tundra and tropical forests to riparian areas and estuaries. "We looked at a large number of data sets, from sites as small as an office table to as large as entire oceans," said Taylor. "We saw the same correlation between nitrogen and carbon wherever we looked."
"The bottom line is that if there is sufficient organic carbon present, it keeps the nitrates at a low level," said Townsend. "By using available data, we can now make more accurate evaluations of when and where nitrate pollution may pop up." In the February 2010 issue of Scientific American, Townsend and co-author Robert Howarth of Cornell University wrote that "a single new atom of reactive nitrogen can bounce its way around these widespread environments, like a felon on a crime spree."
Nitrogen pollution is increasing globally in part because of fertilizer-intensive activities like biofuel synthesis and meat production that relies on the growth and cultivation of grains used to feed animals. In addition, the burning of fossil fuels — which releases nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide — causes ground-level ozone pollution. Some scientists have ranked nitrogen pollution as one of the top threats to global biodiversity, Townsend said.
High nitrate concentrations in drinking water also is a potential hazard to human health and may cause several types of cancer and elevate risks for Alzheimer's disease and diabetes, while atmospheric nitrogen pollution can elevate cardiopulmonary ailments, said Townsend. In addition, studies also have shown elevated nitrogen concentrations may increase the risks of several other human and wildlife diseases.
Taylor said the new study showed that "downscaling" from a global analysis of the carbon-nitrogen link to system-specific scenarios indicates the relationship between the elements typically becomes even stronger. "Analyzing the problem using these methods at smaller scales could allow ecosystem management teams to better predict and influence the fate of nitrates in the environment," Taylor said.

Speaking as a guest at the Brinkerhoff Action Association's meeting at Saint Benedict the Moor Church in Jamaica, the congressman dispelled claims that plans to develop part of the 55-acre site were finalized and he had signed off on it.Meeks repeatedly told the audience, which included several veterans and their families, that he would never act on any decision about the 34-year-old facility without discussing it first with the community."I thought it was important that we had this town hall meeting so that nothing is left unsaid... and you understand where I stand," he said.In August 2006, R. James Nicholson, the former secretary of the Veteran's Affairs Department in Washington, announced that the center, which has 180 beds in its community living center and 50 beds in its domiciliary, would be demolished and replaced with a state-of-the-art facility. Under the plan, 30 acres of the site would be used for the new care center, which would have 10 fewer domiciliary beds, and 25 acres would be leased to a private developer.During a protest outside the facility March 29, some veterans said they had heard that the congressman approved of plans for the facility without informing the public or the special community task force he had created to address the reconstruction.Meeks denied the rumor. He told the audience that he learned that the VA had issued a Request for Proposals for the site when Greater Allen AME church asked him last month for a letter of approval for plans the church had drawn up for the lease. The congressman said he did write the letter on behalf of the church's plan, which he said included housing, a new magnet high school and an assisted living facility, because he thought it met the needs of both the community and veterans."Many of the things in the RFP are things the community has asked for," he said.Meeks said he did make a provision in the letter that he was concerned about some of the proposal's initiatives that called for the housing complex, which he said would give first preference to vets and their families, to include 4,000 units and possibly be built as a high-rise."It will change the shape of the community, and I won't let it happen," he said.Meeks said Greater Allen, run by the Rev. Floyd Flake, Meeks' congressional predecessor, made its proposal for the units because the VA was leasing the land at an above-market rate of $10 million an acre. Meeks said he would like to see 1,500 units and a low-rise building.Ray Aalbue, a spokesman for VA, confirmed that the agency did issue an RFP for the St. Albans project in October and that the deadline for proposals by developers ended on March 17. He declined to comment on the details of the RFP or how many developers submitted proposals, but he did say that the VA based the request on previous input from veterans and the community."I can say that the VA has really reached out over the past few years to the local community," Aalbue said. "The things that they brought up to us in the time frame were considered."Meeks said he only knew some of the details of plans by Greater Allen and by a Queens-based developer called the Briarwood Group, but feared that developers from outside the area could be considered for the project and urged residents to help him bring their concerns to Washington."We are going to need to be mobilized and ready to go," he told the audience.Reach reporter Ivan Pereira by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 718-229-0300, Ext. 146.

Since the United States Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Bilski v. Kappos, holding that a computer-assisted method of hedging risk in the field of commodities trading was unpatentable under §101 of the Patent Act, courts have increasingly used §101 to invalidate patent claims that use computers or the internet to perform the steps of an abstract idea. The United States Supreme Court long has held that claims covering nothing more than abstract ideas are not eligible for patent protection under §101. However, if a claim includes meaningful limitations that make it clear that the claim is not limited to an abstract idea alone, but rather to a non-routine and specific application of the idea, then the claim may be allowed.
Examples of patent claims that have been held invalid under §101 after a finding of ineligible subject matter include:
In many of these cases, the courts concluded that claiming a computer implementation of a purely mental process that could otherwise be performed without a computer (or the internet) does not render a claim patentable. The key is whether the claim contains limitations that meaningfully tie the abstract idea to an actual application of that idea.

Album Review: Hank Williams Sr. – The Unreleased Recordings
The fifteen-disc bootleg of the so-called "Mother's Best Flour Show" recordings has been floating around the internet for nearly a decade now, while numerous lawsuits were duked out by Hank Jr. and his half-sister Jett (the daughter Hank Sr. never knew) as the Williams estate tried to establish sole ownership of the recordings. Although the bootleg collection has a far greater quantity—if not quality—of songs, it's hard to go wrong with this three disc set, which contains 54 of the 143 songs that Time Life plans to release in the next three years.
The Mother's Best recordings were a series of approximately seventy radio shows, prerecorded in 1951 for early morning radio play on WSM 650. According to Colin Escott, Williams' most in-depth biographer, in addition to the intro singing of "Lovesick Blues," each fifteen-minute show included a secular song, a gospel number, an instrumental, and two pitches for Mother's Best flour done by WSM announcer Louie Buck. The shows themselves were recorded on notoriously fragile acetate discs, but most—if not all—of them survived after being rescued from the trash by a WSM employee in 1979.
Hearing Williams sing all of his hits "live on the radio" is wonderful, but the real gems in this collection are the songs which he never officially recorded for release. All in all, the entirety of the Mother's Best recordings contain about forty songs that aren't present on any of Hank's official releases, and The Unreleased Recordings has chosen a substantial selection of some of the most powerful of these songs.
Disc One kicks off with a mournful cover of Roy Acuff's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," while classic gospel songs like "I'll Fly Away," the five and a half minute epic "I Dreamed That Great Judgment Morning," and "Softly and Tenderly" are also performed with enough fervor to make the hair on your arms stand up. Traditional folk song "On Top of Old Smoky," at that time on the charts thanks to the Weavers, also gets the Williams treatment as he states he learned the song from his grandmother.
There are also moments where, despite his (deserved) image as a belligerent drunk, Williams seems relaxed and informal, even downright folksy, a 27 year old good Southern boy at the height of his fame. Listening to him cheerfully banter with Louie Buck, it's hard to imagine the downward slide awaiting ol' Hank: his dismissal from the Opry, a failed marriage, and finally, his descent into alcoholism resulting in his death fewer than two years later.
While The Unreleased Recordings is a fantastic box set, there are a few things that could have been improved to give this collection some more punch. Each show included an intro as well as multiple pitches for Mother's Best Flour, and for the country music history buffs among us, it would have been nice to hear some of these moments–or even a show in its entirety–so that listeners could get the chance to hear some amazing instrumental numbers courtesy of the Drifting Cowboys.
The one advantage these edited recordings have over the originals, however, is the absence of Williams' off-key wife Audrey–but even her presence would be welcomed by those who have an interest in the history of country music and the tumultuous personal life of its patron saint.
Still, despite these shortcomings, The Unreleased Recordings remains one of the best country box sets to ever be released, and serves as a great companion to the nine disc The Complete Hank Williams. The liner notes alone, written by Escott, are a fascinating look at Williams' storied rise and fall.

[...] Album review: Hank Williams Sr.: The Unreleased Recordings [...]
21 Comments
Well said, I totally agree about the part that it's hard to imagine all of Hank's miseries when he's cheerfully chatting it up… and that's definitely one of the gems in this collection. Like his daughter Jett said upon the release, few were able to get a real idea of what Hank was like as a person, aside from his writing and performing… but these new songs and the banter in between give a good sense of just his overall persona and the joy that comes from his work. 5 stars for sure, and like you said, is a perfect accompaniment to the 9-disc Complete recordings.
It's great that this stuff is getting out there, though I imagine that it makes all those who bought The Complete Hank Williams feel rather cheated.
On a somewhat related note, I think that record companies often underestimate the demand for "complete" collections of the recordings of deceased artists, and when they do hit the market, they're overpriced. I'd like the challenge the folks over at WSM to scour their vaults and team up with a record company to offer affordable "complete" collections of some of the recently deceased country music legends.
Readers Digest has a FOUR disc set that includes several of the shows in their entirety.
Matt C., I too would love to hear what else WSM has in their vaults…some vintage Porter Wagoner or Minnie Pearl would be amazing. Of course, if the Mother's Best shows were rescued from the trashcan, God only knows what gems didn't get salvaged and are now lost for good.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong, because I don't have the Unreleased set yet, but none of these recordings are on the Complete Hank set, so I don't think anyone would have a reason to feel cheated. The Complete set was released ten years ago(!) when these were tied up in litigation.
As to what else WSM has in the vault, let me recommend some releases that fly very far under radar for most people. In 2006 and 2007 there were a total of 12 (I don't have them next to me, but I think that's right) discs released only at Cracker Barrel that were Grand Ole Opry themed. The series was titled "Legends of the Grand Ole Opry and each disc had its own theme ("Top Hits" or "Women of Country") and were recordings taken mainly from the late 1950s through the 1960s. Mostly the songs include the hits that you would expect, but many of them include the artists introduction and maybe a few words by them. I highly recommend the series to fans of the classics, although you might have to do some ebay digging to find them.
Time-Life, who released the new Hank set, picked up the "Legends of the Grand Ole Opry" moniker and have released 4 discs in the series: Porter Wagoner, Loretta Lynn, Marty Robbins and Willie Nelson. They include performances from the Opry, mainly from the '60s. I have the Wagoner and Nelson discs and they are very good. They are pretty hard to find (Amazon lists all but the Robbins one), but worth the hunt.
Did you guys bring in Thanki to cover only the good country music? ;)
Wow!! Just found these gems and was absolutely blown away by the quality and content. Songs of the day never recorded in the studio by Hank and gospel songs new to his repertoire. Can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the collection. Would be nice if Time-Life would at least release a list of the gems they have yet to make available. Christmas came early this year :-)
I got this today, and it really is a fantastically well-put-together set. Great music and very good packaging. I particularly like the illustrations from the original sheet music of some of the songs. This is probably the bargain of the year. Great review, too.
Personally I'm all too grateful for the absence of Audrey.
please do not write things about Hank SR HE WAS NOT A DRUNK HE HAD A HORRIBLE BACK PROBLEM THE DOCTORS TRIED TO FUSE IT THE DISC. IN FACT THE SHOWS HE MISSED WAS THE BACK PROBLEM CHECK YOUR FACTS. IT EASY TO BLAME DRINKING FOR ALL OF HIS PROBLEMS. HE HAD A PERFECT VOICE HE WAS THE GREATEST SINGER THAT EVER LIVED.AUDREY VERFIED THIS ON TAPE AND SO DID BILLIE JEAN.
Also, KURT COBAIN WAS NOT A HEROIN ADDICT HE HAD A HORRIBLE STOMACH PROBLEM HE WAS THE SECOND GREATEST SINGER THAT EVER LIVED COURTNEY LOVE VERFIED THIS ON TAPE.
Actually Kurt Cobain likely died because of the problem he was using heroin to medicate.
The gunshot wound to the face probably didn't help much either.
If you were married to Courtney Love, you too would blow off your own face.
Courtney Love in the 90's was kind of cool, because the 90's made everything better.
But there is the ultimate game of Death Is Not An Option:
Courtney Love or Audrey Williams
Now I am going to have Violet running through my head all day.
Easy winner-Courtney. She would have driven Frances of Assisi to suicide, let alone a depressive drug addict like Kurt Corbain. God help her kid.
Yeah, but Audrey not only drove her husband to drink, she did the same thing with her son.
Stormy, lets wait to see what happens to the Corbain kid. There could be a tower and a rifle in his future.
Francis Bean is a girl. And she seemed to be level headed when she tweeted that Ali Lohan needed to develop a skill and not piggyback on her sister's fame.
Stormy-you sure know a lot of obscure crap. You are rapidly becoming my hero.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Malford Tyson Pillow, MD (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine)
Description: This is a comprehensive overview of emergency medicine in outline form. The previous edition was published in 1998.
Purpose: The stated purpose is to provide residents, medical students, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners with a basic introduction to the core content of emergency medicine. This is a worthy, although difficult, objective. The book meets the author's objectives, especially for people new to the specialty.
Audience: The audience includes students and practitioners in training. The book does not address, nor does it try to address, the needs of attending physicians or those who have been practicing for several years who need more in-depth information about specific topics.
Features: The book covers a majority of topics in emergency medicine in light to moderate detail. The best aspect of the book is that it satisfies its objective with the outline format, which makes it easy to read and quickly learn the material. The book also has questions at the end of each section and a reference to online questions for further study. A few tables highlight important points and pictures, diagrams, and outlines/algorithms enforce the main ideas.
Assessment: This is another high quality outline-type review of emergency medicine in the National Medical Series for Independent Study. The book satisfies its goals of being an introductory text for emergency medicine. The second edition is justified given the many changes and advances in emergency medicine since the first edition was published.

Some quotes I love~<3
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
It is not love that is blind, but jealousy.
Jealousy is an awkward homage which inferiority renders to merit.
I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.
Don't dwell on the memories you lost, but to smile on the ones you create.

One of the strengths that the Bruins always touted in years past was the depth of their goaltending. While Tim Thomas was off winning awards and accolades, Tuukka Rask was right behind him, quietly matching the starter's sterling numbers.
This season, without Thomas in net, it was Rask who had most of the pressure heaped on his shoulders as fans looked to forge ahead. However, one could make the case that Anton Khudobin's play as a backup has been just as important in helping the Bruins move on from under Thomas' shadow.
NESN Nation's Dan Duquette is prepared to do just that. Check it out in the above video.

You might be a fan of fishing boat features like large decks with plenty of room for fighting fish, extra rod holders, LED interior lights, dual livewells or over-sized windshields. Regardless of which bells and whistles are your favorites, if you are thinking of buying a boat, you are wise to consider the useful features that are offered by manufacturers while also thinking about the number of hours you anticipate spending on the water during…

Why it's Important to Check on your Boat this Winter
The recent storms throughout the Northern half of the country have brought rain, wind, ice, and snow. Just to give you an idea about how bad it's really been, in my hometown we had 42 inches of snow in one week, winds of 60 MPH with gusts to 80 MPH, and then rain. The first thing I did when the storm subsided was NOT to grab a shovel. Instead, I check on my boat. The…
Learn from the Pros
To truly appreciate a sunny day you've got to have some rain. Along those same lines, the off-season helps me to appreciate the fishing season. Off season is when I can reflect on my past year. I can think about what went right, I can figure out what went wrong and fix it, and I can get ready for next year. I base my decisions around the philosophy of "keep a winning game plan, change a…
Fall Boat Shows
I'm not a tire kicker but I sure act like one. The truth is I hate to rush big decisions. I like to take my time, consider all of the pros and cons, do a lot of research, and work out all of the fine details. When I finally get off the dime I'm in good shape; by that I mean my hand doesn't shake when I sign on the dotted line. Buying a new…
10 Essential Tools to Keep on Board Your Boat
What do you do when the latch that secures the lid on your livewell won't lock and you just finished throwing a cast net for two hours so that you'd have enough bait for a day of fishing? Or, when you are boating around the lake with your family, and then realize that you left one of your drain plugs back at the dock? These are two examples of situations when having the right tools…
When fishing clear-water small streams and wading along the shore, anglers pay close attention to the location of riffles, pools, and especially, "holes" and how fish relate to these visible features. However when fishing in a boat on large, possibly murky water, it all looks the same. That's why most anglers cast along the shoreline. This is a target they can see. Electronic "fish-finders" help anglers locate features in a seemingly featureless body of water.…
A Boat for Every Budget
There is no shortage of boats that cost as much–if not more–than an average American home. Some of these are bucket list vessels that few of us will ultimately own. But there are boats for every budget. And some provide solutions to those of us looking for a first boat or one that frees up our budgets to buy more tackle. Here are a few points to consider when shopping for a boat, as well…
Pre-Owned Boat for Sale
Not mine. I bought a pre-owned boat this summer and we don't plan on parting with it anytime soon. However with cooler temperatures and the boat season winding down in places, some boats may start appearing in the newspaper classifieds. Here are a few considerations in case you may be in the market for a pre-owned boat. ● Are you ready? Do you have a place to store it? Is there room in the garage?…
Get ahead of next year's boating curve
What does 'a stitch in time saves nine' and 'never put off until tomorrow what you can do today' have in common? They're words of wisdom that are best followed when putting up your boat for the winter. I keep my boat on a trailer, so I first head to the harbor and tie her to a dock finger. I'll head home where I perform a full inspection of my trailer. I'll first check out…
Get Out There
Saturday, Sept. 27 has been designated "National Hunting and Fishing Day." If you are like me, you may be thinking, "Isn't every day a fishing and hunting day?" However, there are still a few people that have yet to experience the outdoors fully, and this day is a good reminder to get out there. There are numerous events scheduled around this date. New Hampshire held their Hunting and Fishing Day Celebration last week but other…

MANCHESTER ŌĆö WhitkoŌĆÖs boys golf team picked up a conference win against Rochester Wednesday.
The Wildcats beat visiting Rochester 167-181 at Sycamore Golf Club.
Leading the way for Whitko was Danny Zawlocki, who shot 40 to earn medalist honors. Colton LeTourneau was next for Whitko at 42. Cole Bechtold carded 43 and Will Peters shot 44. Jacob Silveus scored 47 and Matt Hathaway shot 52.
All told, the top four Whitko golfers beat or tied the top Rochester golfer.
Whitko will next be at the Northfield Invitational Saturday in Wabash.
MENTONE ŌĆö WhitkoŌĆÖs softball team lost a shootout to TRC-rival Tippecanoe Valley Tuesday.
The Lady Wildcats fell to the Lady Vikings by a score of 15-14.
It was the first conference game of the year for the Lady Wildcats.
Whitko soared at the plate, crushing 20 hits in the contest. Tiffany Ousley was 3-for-5, including a two-run homer in the sixth inning that broke a 10-10 tie.
Christa Baughman was 2-of-5 with a double and five RBIs.
Hannah Himes was 2-for-4 with a double and three runs scored.
MANCHESTER ŌĆö WhitkoŌĆÖs baseball team won an 11-0 shut out Wednesday night to Three Rivers Conference foe Manchester.
The ŌĆÖCats tacked on nine runs in the sixth and seventh innings to take the lopsided win.
Alex Stoddard pitched all seven frames for Whitko, throwing a one-hit shut out, as Manchester managed one hit. Stoddard struck out five and walked four. He also batted 4-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Columbia CityŌĆÖs baseball team ran into a meat grinder Wednesday. The Eagles were defeated 17-1 at home by Leo in five innings.
The Lions got to the Columbia City pitchers for 13 hits and seven walks. The Eagles didnŌĆÖt help themselves out by committing five errors on defense.
Columbia City didnŌĆÖt do much on offense, either. The Eagles managed three hits and three walks.
LEO ŌĆö Columbia CityŌĆÖs girls tennis team got a big win against Leo Wednesday.
It was a 4-1 win for the Lady Eagles over the Lady Lions. Celine Rongos of Columbia City defeated Jen Timbrook of Leo, 6-2, 6-1 in number-one singles.
In number-three singles, Adriana Brown of Columbia City beat Lea Hughbanks 6-4 and 2-1 before Hughbanks retired.
CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö No one gave up.
ChurubuscoŌĆÖs softball team found itself behind more than once in WednesdayŌĆÖs loss to Adams Central, but several times the Lady Eagles clawed back to make the game close again.
The Lady FlyinŌĆÖ Jets defeated ŌĆśBusco by a football-like score of 16-13, and just like the gridiron, there were offensive flurries from both sides and power on display.
Offensively, the game was tight in the early going. A first inning solo shot and home run blast in the fifth helped Adams Central open up a 5-1 lead. But ŌĆśBusco responded.
BLUFFTON ŌĆö After having to postpone the match twice due to rain, Columbia CityŌĆÖs golf team was finally able to travel to play conference foe Norwell at Timber Ridge Golf Course.
The Eagles came out victorious winning 178-189.
ŌĆ£In the end, we are happy to get a win in these tough conditions here,ŌĆØ Columbia City Head Coach Andrew Thompson said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm proud of these guys for getting through.ŌĆØ
The Eagles were led by freshman Tyler Green who fired a 40 for the night. Green was one stroke behind the match medalist, Ked Milholland, who shot a 39.
CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö ChurubuscoŌĆÖs baseball team played host to Northeast Corner Conference opponent Fremont in a battle of Eagles.
In a game that saw good pitching from both teams, the deciding factor was host ChurubuscoŌĆÖs inability to string together hits with runners in scoring position throughout the contest.
The Churubusco Eagles stranded eight base runners and fell by a 6-3 score to the visiting Fremont Eagles.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Columbia CityŌĆÖs girls track team fell to both Bellmont and Carroll in a three-way meet Tuesday night.
Carroll took first in the Northeast Hoosier Conference clash with 73 and two-thirds points, followed by Bellmont with 56 and one-third points. Columbia City finished the night with 32 points.
ŌĆ£Carroll and Bellmont are very good,ŌĆØ Columbia City Head Coach Bob Fahl said. ŌĆ£We opted to rest some girls and not have them run multiple events.ŌĆØ
CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö In Tuesday eveningŌĆÖs Northeast Corner Conference battle of Lady Eagle softball teams, the host Churubusco Lady Eagles used a big nine-run fourth inning to hand the visiting Fremont Lady Eagles a 14-1 loss.
The hosts gave up only a single and a walk in the first three innings to the visitors, as Churubusco pitcher Courtney Luttman enticed five fly-outs in the first three stanzas to go along with infield ground outs.

On October 31, 2013, the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance published a modified set of proposed regulations to implement the Georgia Merchant Acquirer Limited Purpose Bank Act. These regulations are a revised version of the Department's July 31, 2013 proposed regulations based upon comments received. The revised regulations reflect significant changes from the July 31 version, including changes to the Department's proposed capital requirements for merchant acquirer limited purpose banks (MALPBs).
The Act, which became effective on March 28, 2012, creates a new state charter for MALPBs.1 These new banks are eligible for (but not required to obtain) FDIC insurance, thereby facilitating their membership in payment card networks (e.g., Visa, MasterCard). It is anticipated that MALPBs will be utilized by payment processors and other participants in the payments industry to avoid the necessity of establishing separate sponsoring arrangements with Visa/MasterCard member banks, or to supplement sponsor bank arrangements.
Please see our prior Legal Alerts on the Georgia Merchant Acquirer Limited Purpose Bank Act, and click here for more information on this new law.
A copy of the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance's proposed regulations is available here.

November 6, 2012 is Election Day. Finally. However, many families have been affected (and continue to be affected) by the decade long war, regardless of who is elected. There are so many ways in which these families are affected, but many people are unaware of how military service impacts a family and children when there is a divorce. In the November, 2012 issue of Los Angeles Lawyers Magazine, my associate, Rita Azizi, and I had the honor of writing the feature article titled Families at War, which includes an MCLE test. You will find the complexities with these proceedings due to the complex interplay between federal and state laws.

|The Tale of Two Tippers
This funny video, "The Tale of Two Tippers", was created by LeTip International to help a prospective member understand how LeTip can help generate more business.
When two different types of LeTip members are compared, it's easy to see which one succeeds and grows their business and which does not. By interacting, networking, and bringing others to LeTip meetings, the successful member is an active member. This member takes advantage of every opportunity to meet new people and to include them in her professional network. Those people then tell other people and the network continues to expand, and with it, the LeTip member's business grows, too.
The member who does not participate, but merely hands out her business cards and does not engage with other members or business owners, does not grow her business. Simply being a LeTip member does not guarantee success; members need to be involved and enthusiastic about their business and their membership. Success is not won by osmosis, it is earned through hard work.
By attending meetings, being ethical, professional, and experienced in your line of work, and actively passing on referrals, your membership is bound to help expand your business and add to the number of professional contacts you have. LeTip works when its members are involved. Doing business with other businesses improves communities, as well as the businesses themselves. As a member, you can be a mentor, a leader, a participant, or all of these and more. But it's what you put into the organization that will determine your level of success.
Choosing to be the Tipper who just shows up and expects results is a losing proposition. Being the Tipper who interacts with new people, engages with everyone they come in contact with, attends events, and refers others to LeTip is clearly more desirable. After all, who does not want to be successful?

U.N. rapporteur Pinheiro warns Burma on referendumU.N. special rapporteur Paulo Sergio Pinheiro calls Burma's upcoming constitutional referendum a joke: Speaking in Brussels, Mr Pinheiro said that the referendum would not have any credibility if opponents were prevented from speaking out. "How can you have a referendum without any of the basic freedoms?" he was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying. "It would be important to have international observers to validate the referendum, because if not it would be just a ritual without real content." He also said he saw no signs of political progress of any kind in the country. More »
Tibet Links, April 14, 2008Nine monks arrested for allegedly planting a bomb: China has arrested nine monks for a bomb attack on a government building in Tibet last month, an official said yesterday. Tibetan support groups warned that it was impossible to verify the claims because the authorities do not allow independent observers into the region. The state-run Xinhua news agency alleged that the monks from the Tongxia monastery - around 850 miles east of Lhasa - fled after their homemade bomb exploded in Gyanbe township but later confessed to planting it.
