The Village of West Elkton met Tuesday, March 11 to discuss surveying the village for a CDGB grant, pay scales for council members and their fiscal officer, and other issues.
Councilman Charlie Pennington was absent from the meeting, leaving three members present. Two remaining seats for council have not been filled.
A member of the public, Greg Keith, spoke in regard to a fireworks display his family hosts each year. This year, however, he would like to make the event more public, and to be hosted in West Elkton.
In terms of location, Keith suggested using the village ball diamonds, saying the location would be "ideal."
"We was thinking the Fire Department is right there," and it would be the safest place, said Keith. "Our fireworks displays run from 40 minutes to an hour. We put on a pretty decent display. It's thousands, we spend thousands on it … and we don't want anything for it," said Keith. "Instead of keeping it to ourselves, we thought it'd be better to share it."
Richard [Dick] Bair, spoke in regard to purchasing over five acres of land in West Elkton, to be used as a graveyard. In the process of purchasing the land, Bair explains he is currently in the process of working through zoning issues.

Psychic Maria
- She tell me give her more money, more money, always to give more money. I don't give no more money so she says she make demon burn my house down. No I afraid to go inside my house. How come she be like that?
- —Guest Pho Nuc
Adrian/Should have listened to my gut.
- I am usually level headed with money but when it comes to wanting to know my future I don't seem to know better.I was lured in by the fancy promo and promise of insight that I coughed up the 67usd for my Life Changing Guide, which I was very disappointed in it was very vague and off in many areas.and I was stupid to go with the upgrade that cost me a further 191usd in which I am in dispute with my credit card company. as the site says 100% money guarantee if not happy, we shall see, I should have gone with my gut feeling which said its probably another scam. and secondly read any and all online reviews, Please anyone out there ready to part with their hard earn case for a reading by Adrian, just give it to me at least you will know it went to better use. I should have just put my faith in God.

norah astro clairvoyant scam artist
- i just saw norah's page yesterday and after reading all these replies i am glad i deleted her email.she sends the same mail to everyone. with all the bull crap about how ur life will take a turn and how bad it has been for u since childhood.wtf???
- —Guest vincy
Please read this
- To all of you who are like me searching for answers in our lives! I been searching for a good psychic to help me in. I had the worse year last year and again this year with deaths in a family, sickness in the family, and other problems. So I went in the internet searching for someone who could help me, and I found a couple of them and they sent me continuous email after email things that was going to happen in my life and they needed to to resolved quickly. But I had to pay by a credit card at the bottom first. Well Please all of you who reads this don't pay anything by credit cards to these people it happen to me a scam and I tried to get a real email, or real person and no one was real. So all emails are automated from the computer and nothing is real, be aware of these scam, anyone who asked for a credit card is fraud please believe me. we don't have a place to complain to.(I TRIED A FEW) and the ones who doesn't give a real email are fake, please be aware of this BIG SCAM!
- —Guest Maria
I was duped by Jenna
- Hi, having read all of the above, I'd just like to say that I was scammed by 'Jenna'. She offered exactly the same 'you are on the cusp of a transition' crap as Norah, and I'm ashamed to say that I was so down on my luck that I swallowed it whole and spent money I didn't have on an 'astrological reading'. None of it was correct. None of it offered any truth or insights. None of it was worth the paper I could've printed it on, don't waste your money on this false astrologer/ medium. Keep it in your pocket and dig deep inside yourself for salvation.
- —Guest Moi
Billboard sighting!
- Saw a billboard on the side of the road in Oregon..with "Nora's" face on it..I remember the billboard wasn't advertising Astrology/Psychic !
- —Guest Lazlo
Lucky I Checked out Norah Before
- Hi, yes I followed my intuition sense and checked out Norah before falling for this scam. Norah mentioned that it was no coincidence that I just happened to run across her website on this day and time. She also spoke about coming into a Transit Period, in fact I was right on the cusp of this transit period and how my life was going to transform and that I would mend this rif between my True Self and my Higher Self. Norah mentioned that this was necessary in order to achieve one's True Potential and recognizing what's your True Purpose in this lifetime. I'm so glad that I researched her before spending any money, now I plan delete her email.
- —Guest Gold
Bully! http://www.tara-medium.com/
- I requested a free tarot reading. This "person" bombarded me with emails telling me bad things were going to happen unless I paid for the full reading. Any "gifted" person would not behave in such a way! If you want a true psychic, look for Russell Grant!
- —Guest DreamItBeItNow
- i was lied to by norah but just out of curiousity is tupaksensitive.com a real or fake
- —Guest everything
Online spiritual guidence
- Sometimes when you are lost and don't quite trust your conscience, or cannot hear what your heart tells you, and you do belong to organised religion, you still feel you need to understand your existence and seek a meaning with it. Therefore you pose a question to the powers beyond trough an "online-medium". You get the answer and you chew on it. Maybe it gives rise to reflection. If they tell you you are one in a million and they clear their schedule just to care for your special and truly unique spiritual path, then they ask for money. You leave it at that. If you want Clair-Voyance, seek one in real life. Get to see and communicate face to face. Go on seeking but show common sense too.
- —Guest Argunova
Norah Scam - Astrology Fraud
- a couple friends and I did the free piece and we ALL got EXACTLY the same email back. When I contacted customer service they tried to tell me that I " don't understand my hearts desire" and that Norah does custom readings specifically to my data. Well that is clearly bullcrap - they proved it with the generic email we all got. For the incredible few who felt they got a little out of it - well, if you throw enough generic crap at the wall eventually something is going to stick. It's the law of averages. If you truly want a customized reading - go to a live Astrologer who shows you your physical chart and explains it.
- —Guest knowsbetter
Norah a spambot
- I got a free reading from norah, and got the same bollocks about how i'm on the cusp of a great transition period, and how rare that is, and i've been persued by bad luck since I was a child, etc. You might at least imagine that the scammers who run that con would change the messages a bit, have a few other auto-responses. What a bunch of morons.
- —Guest p.j
- why do you people believe this stuff????? tara is a scam artist. i have reported her to the bbb.
- —Guest shaky
Norah is totally fake
- Hi folks, a while back I did a free reading online with Norah. Well after a few days I started getting emails to tell me that things were going to go badly for me unless I got her to do a "paid" reading so that I could see how to avert disaster. This went on for months, and the emails got more and more ominous, like something really really bad was about to happen. Well nothing bad happened , and basically this is a nasty scare tactic to make people pay for a reading and suck them into being dependent on the fasle information that this "Norah" person provides. By the way I did a trace on the emails, and they are from Asia, hong kong to be precise. I even got this persons ISP. It's a total scam, don't even get a free reading because then you'll get a ton of spam emails telling you something really bad will happen to you, and if you do, don't believe a word because this person/people are just scammers plain and simple.
- —Guest Jim
It blatant scam
- Wish I had seen some of this sooner and I did my free reading an thought it was ok but had some questions emailed Norah and support about her questions but got no reply and I should have walked away but in my stupidity I went ahead and now having see your site and others saying the same thing I know I have been had, but I am goind to challenge her on her 30 day money back guarentee as I only got my reading a week ago. The more I read it the more inconsistencies I find. Have requested my money back will see what happens. I have screen shots of every page inculding the payment pages. will see what happens.

Today's guests:
Evan Lesser — Founder and Managing Director, ClearanceJobs.com
Government security clearances are getting approved faster. But it's not making much difference in how agencies and contracting firms are recruiting. A survey from ClearanceJobs.com says less than one in five organizations have actually updated their recruiting practices because of the faster processing times. Evan Lesser reports that obtaining Top Secret security clearance still takes two to three times as long as lower-level Secret clearances. Nearly half of hiring managers surveyed said they've lost great job candidates due to long wait times.
View the full survey results here.
Tim McManus — Vice President for Education and Outreach, Partnership for Public Service
Your agency is letting you help close the skills gap in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. Office of Personnel Management director John Berry has released a memo outlining how CHCOs can start approving volunteer hours for employees to help young people develop STEM skills. Tim McManus shares why the move is a smart idea.

Bev Godwin — Director of the Federal Citizen Information Center Office, Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies, GSA
The GSA's new social media registry went live this week, allowing consumers, taxpayers, contractors and even other feds the chance to verify whether that Facebook account for the Consumer Product Safety Commission is legit or if they are following John Boehner's official Twitter feed. Agencies began registering their social media accounts with the government-wide database earlier this year. Godwin says the database will also give the GSA the ability to track how government agencies and programs use social media.
Verify if your favorite government social media accounts are the real deal at USA.gov and GobiernoUSA.gov.

Tammy Flanagan — Senior Benefits Director, National Institute of Transition Planning,
We're all familiar with the backlog of retirement applications at the Office of Personnel Management that can keep feds waiting for months on end....getting only partial checks while OPM processes their retirement packages. But OPM says it's trying to reduce the wait...the agency has a goal of 90 percent of all new claims within 60 days, and it's issued new guidance designed to help agency HR managers submit "healthy" retirement claims. Tammy Flanagan tells to In Depth how ready-to-retire feds can smooth their transition and start collecting their pension.

Matthew Albright / Houma Courier
During a Sunday worship service two years ago, pastor Craig Dalferes read a Bible verse to the congregation of St. Matthew's Church.
' 'Do you see all these things?' ' Jesus told his disciples as they looked at the magnificent temple in Jerusalem.
' 'Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.'
Dalferes said it was a difficult verse to preach about on a normal Sunday. But that was no ordinary Sunday only a few days earlier, he had been standing in the ashes of the church's landmark, century-old sanctuary in downtown Houma.
This Sunday, Dalferes stood in the grassy field where those ashes had been and read a different verse.
'This shall be my resting-place forever,' said the Lord. 'Here I will dwell, for I delight in her.'
(Click image to see pictures from the fire.)
Two years to the day after their church burned to the ground, Dalferes and his congregation worshiped under a tent in the field where the church had stood.
Since the fire, the congregation has worshiped in the sanctuary of Grace Lutheran Church. But Sunday was special enough for them to return home.
For the past two years, St. Matthew's clergy and lay leaders have been laboring to raise money and make plans to rebuild the sanctuary, parish hall, offices and classrooms claimed by the fire.
Those efforts are starting to bear fruit through a combination of insurance money, fund raisers, donations from parishioners and community supporters, the church has about $5.3 million on hand for the project.
The church is still seeking donations. If you're interested, call 872-5057.
Blueprints have been drawn up, and negotiations with local contractors should be finished within the month.
'I've gone between a lot of waxing and waning between optimism and pessimism,' said Senior Warden Rob Alexander. 'But the people of this church always remind me to have hope.'
Church officials are so confident that construction will start soon that they broke ground Sunday, marking the two-year anniversary of the fire. Dalferes said he hopes construction will start before the year is out and said it's possible the church might move in by sometime next year.
To sanctify the space, the congregation processed around the staked outline where the sanctuary building will stand, and stood praying as officials marked off the site with a long white cross of rope.
'This is a symbol for us,' Dalferes said. 'We are saying that this is land that belongs to Christ, not to us.'
Roland Champagne, who is in his 90s, has been a member of the church since he was twelve. Though he and his wife have recently moved to Jennings, La., for medical treatments, he still drove down to Houma to see the ceremony.
'This is my church home,' Champagne said. 'Of course, I had to be here.'
Champagne knows almost everything about the church, from the names of the live oaks Abraham, Isaac, Jacob to the history of the old building.
He is sad, of course, that much of that building exists now only in his memory, but he does not despair.
'It is good for me to know that we are rebuilding. It is good that this space won't be empty anymore,' Champagne said. 'I hope I am alive to be here when we dedicate it.'
Dalferes said it's faith like that which has allowed the church to keep hope despite the destruction. He compared the church's faith to the high-stakes choreography of trapeze artists.
'Sometimes, the lifeline comes out of the thin blue sky at just the right time,' Dalferes said. 'And at moments like this. we see there is a design behind it all. It is called grace.'

The Cyberdog 2.0 suite of Internet software is now posted to Apple's Web site for free download. It is scheduled to roll out commercially in release 8 of the Macintosh operating system sometime this summer.
The Internet suite includes a Web browser, FTP client, and an email and news reader, plus DocBuilder for customizing "dashboards" that access the Internet and corporate intranets. DocBuilder is part of Apple's OpenDoc family of software that lets users mix and match functions within a document container.
Enhancements to the software, first released one year ago, include email support for hyperlinks and graphics, and the ability to handle more than one email account on the same desktop. Internet links can also be stored in the user's local or network files, folders, and notebooks.
The company said Cyberdog 2.0 can support Netscape plug-ins. Apple has already said it will bundle Netscape Communications' browser software with the next version of the Mac OS.

2014 Report on the International Content Delivery Networks (CDN) Market - Forecasts to 2019
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (
) has announced the addition of the "2014 Report on the International Content Delivery Networks (CDN) Market - Forecasts to 2019" report to their offering.
With the expansion in Internet usage and rising deployment of online content, especially multimedia, Over-the-Top (OTT), and video, advanced solutions provided by the content delivery networks market are required for efficient delivery to the end user. Simple content delivery solutions often exhibit drawbacks such as congestion and bottlenecks.
When traffic load increases or any server fails, these solutions are not able to manage real-time delivery. This may result in many content delivery requests being lost. Moreover, existing techniques are not cost effective when it comes to storage and bandwidth.
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) developed to counter these limitations of Internet for delivering Quality of Service (QoS) when users access online content.
CDNs provide advanced Internet infrastructure that is needed to deliver web content proficiently. The technologies made available by the CDN market offer faster delivery of web pages and video content requested by the user with a benefit of network optimization and low bandwidth cost.
Key Topics Covered: 1 Introduction 2 Executive Summary 3 Market Overview 4 CDN: Market Size And Forecast, By Types 5 CDN: Market Size And Forecast, By Solutions 6 CDN: Market Size And Forecast, By Service Provider Types 7 CDN: Market Size And Forecast, By Organization Size 8 CDN: Market Size And Forecast, By Vertical Segment 9 CDN: Market Size And Forecast, By Geographies 10 Market Landscape 11 Company Profiles Companies Mentioned: - Akamai - AT&T - CDNetworks - Chinacache - Ericsson - Highwinds - Internap - Level 3 - Limelight Networks - Peerapp For more information visit

On Tap Today: The election's upon us
Will Obama be re-elected for a second presidential term? Will Mitt Romney and his Wisconsin-based VP candidate Paul Ryan take over the White House? One thing is for certain - this election thing is a pretty big deal, particularly in a so-called battleground state like Wisconsin. So unique entertainment options appear to be a bit spare tonight as we wait to see how this election will pan out.
That said, the Riverwest Public House Cooperative at 815 E. Locust St. has found a way to celebrate the election and bring some much needed fun to the evening. It's been preparing for tonight with a series of "Hot Blind Debates" discussions this fall in addition to screening the actual presidential debates. Tonight, election coverage will be playing on two big screen TVs, with raffle prizes for guessing the popular vote in states before they're called, plus political jokes and "I Voted" drink specials. Oh, and according to the site, depending on how things go, cat videos might be shared as well. »Read Full Blog Post

Wisconsin country hopeful doesn't win prize, but relishes experience
Zac Matthews, the 18-year-old country star hopeful from Milton, did not win the $100,000 grand prize at the Texaco Country Showdown finals on Thursday.
But what Matthews did receive was priceless. As the Midwest Regional Champion for the 32-year-old country music talent competition, Matthews (birth name Zach Molitor) was one of only five finalists, out of more than 50,000 contestants, who made it to Thursday's finals. He got to perform in front of a sold-out crowd at the famed Ryman Auditorium, with Country Music Hall of Famer Charlie McCoy in his band, at an event hosted by Showdown alum and Grammy winner LeAnn Rimes. »Read Full Article

With rains continuing to evade the city, water levels in lakes supplying drinking water to it has been sinking day by day. The present stock in three important lakes is only 36% of what it was this day last year. It's, in fact, below the lowest drawable limit.
The water dept has been meeting to formulate contingency plan if it does not rain until July 10. Major water cuts can be expected. Normally monsoon sets in by June 10 or 15.
"Considering the forecast of weak monsoon, the dept had started drawing 150-200 MLD less water. Instead of the 3,900 MLD, only 3,700-3,750 MLD is being drawn each day. However, this is not serving the purpose, water cut looks inevitable," said a senior official in water dept.
City's major source is Bhatsa dam from where it gets 65% of its water; the rest comes from other five lakes. But with levels depleting, the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai will have to take measures to ensure the city continues to get at least drinking water if the monsoon does not yield enough rain. "Water levels are so low that pumps are not able to suck water up," said the official.
There is also 15-20% water loss due to evaporation, which is much more this year. Transmission loss of 700 million litres is another issue.
Authorities said a contingency plan would be ready in a few days. It will include seeking help from even railways to bring water in special containers. Cloud seeding is another options.
"We cannot depend on cloud seeding as we don't know the amount of yield. However, authorities will undertake a study, and experiment," said a civic official.
Cloud seeding
There are two types of cloud seeding: One is air seeding: IITM experts will identify seedable clouds above which sodium chloride (salt) will be sprinkled using an aircraft. Salt will broaden droplets in the cloud, leading to formation of precipitation that causes drizzles, a process that will be completed in 15-20 minutes after salt is sprayed.
In the second type, highly soluble silver iodide is passed into storm clouds from a propane burner located on the ground. As the warm air moves up, it becomes cooler due to fall in temperature leading to formation of tiny droplets. These droplets then come together and precipitate, making them heavy enough to come down as showers.

Actor P. Bhanumathi. Photo: P.V. Sivakumar
CHENNAI: An actress par excellence, the multi-talented P. Bhanumathi, who died late on Saturday, held a special place in the south Indian film industry.
Some of her best known performances, came in films such as Annai, Rangoon Radha, Pathumada Bandham, Ippadiyum Oru Pen and the first Tamil colour film Alibabavum Narpadhu Thirudargalum.
Though she started her film career in her early teens her best assignments came only after she wed real life hero Ramakrishna.
Other talents
But before that, a word about her writing abilities. She began writing stories from the age of 14. Later her autobiography was made into a teleserial. Her other talent was her linguistic competence: even in Hindi movies she insisted on using her voice to render dialogues.
Colleagues reminisce
Actor Manorama remembers: "I am happy to have sung with Bhanumathi in the film Ippadiyum Oru Pen. I was fortunate to be able to sing with ... she appreciated and blessed me after hearing my song. She was a doyen among the stars."
Manorama notes that after her memorable role in Paatti Sollai Thattadhe in Tamil the movie was remade in Telugu and her (Manorama's) role was played by Bhanumathi.
She was also a great cook.
Perhaps, Bhanumathi's best performance was in Annai. It was a difficult role (of a mother who bestows all her love on her adopted son to the extent that she does not even allow the natural mother near the boy even after he grows up), notes producer M. Saravanan.
"It was like walking on a razor's edge. We felt only she could do it and she did it with great maturity. We would not have done the role with any other person. When Annai was made in Hindi, Nirupa Rai did the role. But, when we wanted to do it in Telugu all the distributors wanted P. Banumathi to do it. But, she had retired by then. As she was not able to do it we did not make the film at all."
Actor Ravichandran who acted with P. Bhanumathi in Pathumatha Bandam remembers her as a commanding woman.
"She had a knowledge of all departments in film-making. She also knew astrology and palmistry. We used to discuss our future with her and spend a lot of time. Her husband Ramakrishna also used to come to the set and when all the three of us were together, we had a great time."
Prashanth, who played the lead role in P. Bhanumathi's last Tamil movie, Chembaruti notes: "For me she was a legend. She acted as my grandmother in the film. After the shooting also I used to visit her often and talk to her. She felt I had a great future. Having seen her as a dynamic woman and I could not bear to see her in failing health."

An Interesting Little Peanut/Sunflower Birdfeeder
posted 5 years ago
I'm always on the look-out for birdfeeders that can hold peanuts, and this plastic contraption does just that--and only costs about $1.00.
The "Popoutz" come in a variety of colors (or "clear") to brighten any backyard. However, these feeders need to be kept from squirrels, who can easily destroy them and take ALL the contents (and maybe the feeder along with the food)! If the bottom falls out, so does all the food!
Though this "cheap" plastic feeder has its limitations, it is well worth the $1.00--even if you only get one use out of it. (But it is supposed to be "reusable".)
The "idea" and practicality of the product--in conjunction with ts minimal price--merits a rare "5" rating from me!!
Pros: CHEAP (~$1.00); Convenient; Good For Holding Peanuts And/Or Sunflower Seeds, Suet Chunks
Cons: Lacks durability; May not be suitable for all birds to use

The Spire

Both a razor-sharp thriller and a poignant love story, this twisting tale of psychological suspense is Patterson's most compelling novel in years
Mark Darrow grew up in a small Ohio town with no real advantages beyond his intelligence and athletic ability. But thanks to the intervention of Lionel Farr—a professor at Caldwell, the local college—Darrow became an excellent student and, later, a superb trial lawyer. Now Farr asks his still-youthful protégé for a life-altering favor. An embezzlement scandal has threatened Caldwell's very existence—would Darrow consider becoming its new president?
Darrow accepts, but returning to his alma mater opens old wounds. Sixteen years ago, on the night of his greatest triumph as Caldwell's star quarterback, he discovered the body of a black female student named Angela Hall at the base of the Spire, the bell tower that dominates the leafy campus. His best friend, Steve Tillman, was charged with Angela's murder and ultimately sent to prison for life. But now, even as Darrow begins the daunting task of leading Caldwell, he discovers that the case against his friend left crucial questions unanswered. Despite his new obligations—and his deepening attachment to Farr's beautiful though troubled daughter—Darrow begins his own inquiry into the murder. Soon he becomes convinced that Angela's killer is still at large, but only when another mysterious death occurs does he understand that his own life is at risk.
Richard North Patterson is the author of Exile, In the Name of Honor, Degree of Guilt, Silent Witness, Eclipse, Eyes Of A Child, Conviction, and many other bestselling and critically acclaimed thrillers. Formerly a trial lawyer, he was the SEC liaison to the Watergate special prosecutor, the assistant attorney general for the state of Ohio, and has served on the boards of several Washington advocacy groups. In 1993, he retired from his law practice to devote himself to writing. His first novel, The Lasko Tangent, was the winner of the Edgar Allen Poe Award for Best First Novel in 1980. He is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University and Case Western Reserve University School of Law, and is a recipient of their President's Award for Distinguished Alumni. He lives in Martha's Vineyard, San Francisco, and Cabo San Lucas with his wife, Dr. Nancy Clair.

Re: Amuse me, sailing small boat offshore.
Thank you, the spirit is there. This summer I am learning alot, I'm leaving in a matter of days for my first big cruise in the Beautiful Pacific Northwest. I will learn alot that will help me make a long passage one day.
I don't know where that cubicle thing came from, seemed insulting since I have never been in a cubicle, but once in Hawai'i, I am currently on the waiting list for a slip in the Ala Wai, as is my best friend, so I would now have a boat and live in Hawai'i and get ready for about a year to go to the South Pacific.
I've been looking at boats in Hawai'i and there aren't any cheap ones these days, actually, if you go on craigslist there is a yellow and white Catalina 22 that I used to own, that if you saw it in person would probably sell for $2000 most places, and they want $4200. The boats in Hawai'i are either "yachts", well loved sailboats that the owner's don't sell, or barnacle encrusted, jerry rigged "fun" boats that get passed around year to year.
What if I bond with my boat? What if I get really good this summer and think come August or September..."I can do this" It would be nice to think I could go. I know while I'm in Wash/CAN, I'm going to be rocking at anchor, thinking of what it would be like to cross. I would love to have this boat in Hawai'i, it would be sooooo much fun, island hopping, racing friday nights, and just sailing in front of Waikiki.
I realize that it's not always super fun. I think I have a good grasp on this. I would imagine the best moment of my life would happen one night, when there was a light wind blowing, and I could see every star in the sky, and feel just total peace and perfect solitude, but...half of the time I would probably be scared or bored.
My risk tolerance is an 8 out of 10. But understand my risk tolerance may be high, but my care and planning is equally high. I would not just say F it, and go without a reasonable belief that I could make it.

South Australian Shiraz: panel tasting results
Gatt, High Eden, Eden Valley 2009
Decanter average score: 18.75/20pts (95+/100pts)
Individual judges' scores: Brett Crittenden 18.5 Pierre Mansour 19.5 Anthony Rose 18.5
While Gatt has only existed as a brand since 2011, the depth of this company runs much deeper. When Ray Gatt purchased the 1972 Eden Springs Vineyard in 2006, he also acquired the neighbouring site, a historic Barossa floor vineyard, and hence renamed the estate. Contact winemaking is in the hands of the much-respected Joanne Irvine and David Norman, under Eden Valley Merlot identity James Irvine. The cool, late-ripening High Eden zone of Eden Valley performed well in 2009, with plenty of time to recover after the heatwave that debilitated earlier-ripening vineyards in warmer zones.
Brett Crittenden Loads of new oak, rich and almost pushed with ripe berries, leather and opulence. A touch old-fashioned but very polished. Silky smooth and rich palate with length; slowly dries to the finish – works after some time to complete dryness. A classic, old-fashioned gem.
Pierre Mansour Savoury nose with a jam spice quality. Hugely characterful, attractive warm fruit character with a weighty, sensuous, dense, highly individual palate. Beautifully structured with absorbed tannins and excellent length. A very fine Shiraz with a real sense of place.
Anthony Rose Good colour, attractively complex, smoky, peppery aromas with a slight gamey edge. Very juicy, elegant, cool-climate style with undertones of pepper and gamey-ness all elegantly worked into a fabric of fine, succulent tannins and a seamlessly balanced, savoury finish.

Single Mothers finished their LP, playing free NYC show with Dope Body; singer Drew Thomson released a solo 7" (listen)
by Andrew Sacher
Single Mothers in Chicago in 2013 (more by James Richards IV)
Ontario punks Single Mothers have been promising their debut LP for a loooong time, and it looks like it may finally be coming soon. Touche Amore frontman Jeremy Bolm (whose label Secret Voice released their self-titled EP) recently tweeted, "Hell froze over and Single Mothers finished an LP and it's very very good." The record will be released via XL imprint Hot Charity.
Meanwhile, we did just get new music from Single Mothers singer Drew Thomson. He put out a solo EP on Secret Voice last year and returned last week (6/24) with a new 7" single on No Sleep. It's more on the alt-country side than the punk of his main band, sounding something like a sad Wilco with some of the Craig Finn vocal stylings Drew also does in Single Mothers. You can stream both tracks, "Saturday Night/Sunday Morning" and "Oxy," below.
Single Mothers don't have a tour announced at the moment, but we do know they'll play The Fest and will be coming to NYC for a free show at Brooklyn Night Bazaar on August 29 with Dope Body, Ed Schrader's Music Beat and Vulture Shit, which is an all-around solid lineup of rowdy bands. It's part of Ipsum/Dead Labour's End of Summer Blowout which also includes a show the next day (lineup TBA).
Revisit Single Mothers' self-titled EP, with streams of Drew's new songs, below...

It's headlined by The Loved Ones' Dave Hause (full band), and also features Fake Problems' Chris Farren and Plow United's Brian McGee. Like all BKNB shows, it's free.
Cayetana's debut album, Nervous Like Me, comes out August 26 via Tiny Engines. Stream two very promising tracks from that, with their list of tour dates, below...

Future Punx, Eaters and more playing free BrooklynVegan / Dull Tools beach party at Rockaway Surf Club
by Bill Pearis
See you in the Future, Punx
We really mean to go to the beach during the summer more than we do, but you get busy living in NYC and sometimes it's September and you realize you never made it out once. In an effort to not let that happen this year, BrooklynVegan and the fine Dull Tools label are throwing a beach party on Sunday, July 13 at Rockaway Beach Surf Club with live music from Future Punx, Eaters, Final Bloom and Royal Garde. Plus between bands your DJs will be DeeFrance2000 and myself. If you've ever dreamed, like me, of dancing in the sand to electronic-leaning postpunk, this show might be that come true. The fun starts at 3 PM and is free and open to the public. Info on Rockaway Beach Surf Club is here. Check out the flyer, designed by Dull Tools co-domo (and Parquet Courts singer) Andrew Savage, below.
Future Punx (whose frontman Chris Pickering runs Dull Tools with Savage) just played with Beverly this past weekend and if you can't make the beach party they'll open for UK band Cymbals at Glasslands on July 19 (tickets). You can stream their debut 7" below and look out for a more new music from them later this year.
Eaters released their debut album on Dull Tools earlier this year and you can stream that below. Perhaps you saw Final Bloom when they opened for Future Punx and Eaters at Death by Audio back in March. And Royal Garde are a very new band who haven't put any music online yet (but I hear they are kinda like early Bunnymen). You'll just have to come to the beach party. Hope to see you there.

Unlike previous years, the 2014 edition year is happening on a Saturday -- this Saturday (6/21) to be specific. There will be bands and musicians playing on the street all over -- which with the World Cup should make for a very boisterous first day of summer -- but in addition to that there are a number of special of events. Some highlights:
"Mass Appeal": There will be 18 different performances across the city all involving a single instrument -- Accordions, French Horns, Gongs, Recorders, two different ukulele concerts, and choral among them -- and if you can play, you can play. Download the sheet music, show up and join the band.
"Red Baraat's 100+ BPM": On a similar note, bhangra band Red Barat will debut a piece commissioned by NPR especially for MMNY. Mobile bands will parade through Brooklyn and converge on Grand Army Plaza at 4:30 PM, where they will join Red Baraat on the steps of the Brooklyn Public Library. Brass and percussion players are invited to get involved.
"Punk Island": Ninety bands across seven stages will invade Coast Guard Plaza on Staten Island for this seventh edition of the free mosh-a-thon. Among the bands playing: Reagan Youth, Cop Problem and Raw Nerves.
"The Sound of Downtown": River to River Festival brings this interactive experience involving mobile apps that allows folks to "shape and explore the sonic landscape of Lower Manhattan in a brand new way!"
"Porch Stomp": For fans of old time folk and bluegrass, over 30 acts will be playing on Governors Island.
"Privia Piano Bar": Billy Joel playing MSG once a month isn't enough for you? This mobile piano bar will be bringing his hits on a grand piano loaded onto the back of a truck, making stops all over Manhattan for one-hour concerts. And yes they will be playing "52nd Street" on 52nd St.
"Rhythm on Rikers": This concert is the culmination of a 10-week program to teach hand drumming to a group of inmates at Rikers Island. (Among the teachers of this initiative is Kid Millions of Oneida.) This show is just for prisoners and guards.
There's lots more than this. Check out the full Make Music NY schedule.

Nicky of Nothing in the Crowd at The Studio (by @eyehatelucas, via Nothing)
Nothing brought their tour with Superheaven to NYC this past weekend for a headlining show at The Studio at Webster Hall (6/14) with UnWed.

Nothing have since announced that they'll join the previously announced Ceremony / Iron Lung tour, including the FREE NYC show happening July 18 at Brooklyn Night Bazaar. That is a hard triple bill to pass up for $0.

Titus Andronicus / Eagulls @ Warsaw - 6/12/14
Brooklyn's Northside Festival began last night (6/12) with multiple shows, including Titus Andronicus / Eagulls / D'NT / Low Fat Getting High at Warsaw, one of the shows we were excited to see. LFGH and D'NT provided local support, with the former ripping through Nirvana-style (think "Negative Creep" or "Breed") punk/grunge and the latter (a duo) playing something like QOTSA-style stoner rock. Low Fat also just put out a video for "Police Cop" yesterday, which you can watch below.
Then came UK post-punks Eagulls who I'd only previously seen on CMJ/SXSW showcases, and I think benefitted from the larger stage, light show and smoke machines. (They could stand to not talk to the sound guy every 3 minutes about adjustments though.) Diversity isn't this band's game just yet (though they only have one album and one EP so far), but they're a promising group for sure and their best songs ("Nerve Endings," "Coffin") sounded on point last night.
Eagulls are also play the free outdoor Space Ninety 8 Stage on Saturday afternoon (6/14) located on Bedford between N. 5th and N. 6th. They're on at 3:40 PM and the other bands on the bill are Teen Girl Scientist Monthly, traumahelikopter, Your Friend, Neighbors, and Piers.
Finally Titus Andronicus wrapped up the show with a fairly long set (roughly two hours) that included a good amount of material off that rock opera they're working on. One would assume these songs will be pieced together in a coherent, Tommy-style matter, so I don't want to judge the new songs yet, but I will say that any fans of the last three albums are likely gonna be into these too. The songs themselves all seemed on the shorter, tighter, Local Business-y side, though they did play one borderline ballad which was a highlight of the set.
A handful of favorites were of course played from the last three albums too, and the crowd of course ate up "Fear and Loathing in Mahwah, NJ," "A More Perfect Union," "In A Big City," and the rest of them. Stage divers and moshers (or more like "pushers") galore, despite Patrick Stickles basically ridiculing both moshing and stage diving more than once throughout the set. And, like many Titus shows, a few covers were played. Patrick said his mom was in the audience, and since she grew up in the '60s he graced her and the rest of the crowd with a cover of The Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash." And what seemed like was going to be a 15-second joke/teaser turned into a full cover of Semisonic's "Closing Time" (people even moshed to that!) before the actual set-closer, "The Battle of Hampton Roads." And if you're wondering if the "Closing Time" joke ever gets old, from the hundreds of people shamelessly singing along last night, I'd say it doesn't.
More pics of all four bands, videos of both Titus covers, and the Low Fat video, below...

Omar Souleyman at BV-CMJ 2013 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Bad news, Omar Souleyman fans: tonight's show at Glasslands (6/13) (part of Northside) has been postponed till August 6. due to travel issues (maybe this giant storm that is currently drenching NYC?). Dutch E Germ is still performing with a Prince Rama DJ set and the show is now completely free. Tickets from tonight's show will be honored for the new date. For refunds contact Ticketfly.

Patti Smith in Austin in 2013 (more by Sarah Frankie Linder)
According to Gothamist, to commemorate the reopening of Fort Tilden--closed since Hurricane Sandy--the National Park Service, Rockaway Artists Alliance, Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy and MoMa PS1 are teaming up to present the Rockaway Arts Fest, an event that will run from late June through Labor Day and feature work from local and "internationally acclaimed artists." Sounds like a good reason to head out to the beach, but here's a better one: to celebrate opening day, on June 29 at Fort Tilden's Gateway National Recreation Area, the organizers are hosting "Rockaway! Opening Day," a noon-8PM event that will be capped off
by a free Patti Smith concert. There's also an afterparty planned at the Rockaway Beach Surf Club. More info as it becomes available.
UPDATE: Though the Gothamist article mentioned Patti was playing a concert, she's actually doing a short poetry reading. She also has as a photography exhibition and two onsite installations opening in the park that day.
Meanwhile, you can catch Patti for free this week in Prospect Park as part of the Celebrate Brooklyn Ornette Coleman tribute.
Watch a video of Rockaways supporter and property owner Patti playing there on Thanksgiving 2012 below...

Not a Troma film: Dawn of Humans @ 285 Kent (more by Fred Pessaro)
15th Annual TromaDance Film Festival happens in Brooklyn June 27 & 28 at The Paper Box. Like the films that Troma and its president Lloyd Kaufman, are known for, there is little in the way of industry BS:

Entrance to all screenings is free and open to the public. Also, there are no VIP reservations or preferential treatment regarding films, panels, or parties of any kind given. The organizers of TromaDance believe films are meant to be seen, especially when it comes to new filmmakers. Art - in all its forms - is for the people!As for what kind of films, to expect, the press release adds:
TromaDance features a range of films made independently, usually without big stars, big money and far removed from the Hollywood studio system. The official selections of TromaDance have been made with nothing more than passion, courage, integrity, and raw talent.Probably also a lot of cheap thrills horror, blood, guts and raunchy humor. Most of the films are shorts,and the full lineup of films is listed below. Check TromaDance's website for schedule, trailers and more details.
Additionally, there is an afterparty happening Saturday (6/28) at Paper Box, featuring NYC punk luminaries Dawn of Humans, plus Hellbent Hooker (members of Mutilation Rites and Ramming Speeed), The Netherlands and Mannequin Pussy. The Facebook event pages say "come party with Lloyd Kaufman" and what horror fan could turn down that invitation? The show starts at 10 PM and is technically free, but a $10 donation is suggested.
TromaDance film lineup is listed below...

Text of measure
Ballot title
The official ballot title appeared as:[2]
|This measure amends Section 3 of Article 28 of the Constitution. It requires a customer to be twenty-one and physically present to purchase wine at a winery, festival or trade show. The measure changes the law to allow certain winemakers to sell directly to retail package stores and restaurants in Oklahoma. The change applies to winemakers who produce up to ten thousand gallons of wine a year. It applies to winemakers in state and out of state. Those winemakers may not also use a licensed wholesale distributor. They must sell their wine to every retail package store and restaurant in Oklahoma that wants to buy the wine. The sales must be on the same price basis. The sales must be without discrimination. Those winemakers must use their own leased or owned vehicles to distribute their wine. They may not use common or private carriers. If any part of this measure is found to be unconstitutional, no winemaker could sell wine directly to retail package stores or restaurants in Oklahoma.

Does Your Boss Read Your Email?
A bill that has been introduced in the House would require employers to disclose all methods of monitoring communication at the time a new employee is hired, and to update employees annually as to changes in such methods. The bill would not prevent employers from secretly monitoring an employee's communications if there is a reason to believe an illegal activity is taking place.
Employers who argue in favor of monitoring employee communications claim such monitoring is necessary to check the validity of harassment claims, to determine if trade secrets are being passed inappropriately, and to protect the company from computer viruses.
If passed, the legislation would includes fines to the employer of up to $20,000 per employee if the law is disobeyed.
Do you have an opinion on this?
The current AccountingWEB poll addresses the issue of monitoring communications in the workplace. See how your colleagues are voting on this issue, and cast your vote [2] as well.
