Judd-1147 PR64 Red and Brown1871 $1 One Dollar, Judd-1147, Pollock-1289, High R.6, PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. Ex: The New Millennium Collection. The Longacre design is used on the obverse that features Liberty seated with conjoined flags behind, left hand resting on a globe, and right hand holding a Phrygian cap on top. The reverse is of the regular die. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This is the most common of the Longacre dollar designs of the year. It is often called the obverse of 1870 although it does not have Longacre's name in the right corner. The fields are deeply reflective and most of the original fiery-red luster is still evident on each side--there is a very fine line between full red and full red color that has slightly mellowed enough to be called Red and Brown, as seen on this coin. Fully and intricately detailed, there are a few tiny specks of carbon on each side that serve to limit this piece to the PR64 category.

Go Heels!!!!!
I do like how it's a rule at the minor league park, though.
Caught Home run ball hit by Jeff Keppinger of the Astros last year. Fired that sucker back to Chris Dickerson who got rid of it.
Usher brought me "I threw one back at GABP" inscribed ball. Haven't thrown a ball since-decided I only throw with major leaguers now!
I got an Austin Kearns foul ball when I was up at Riverfront/Cinergy Construction Yard.
Also, lots of great photos of various stadiums. Very interesting guy.
On the same topic, I always make sure I sit between home-plate and the kids, wife, girlfriend, elderly person, etc..
I find it appalling when grown men fail to recognize the dangers of foul balls (and homeruns) and don't act pro-active when it comes to protecting their own family (or any other child (behind them, in front of them).
So many fail to pay attention, or when the ball is coming they dodge out of the way, try to bare-hand it or something that won't get them hurt, and instead some child, gal, or elderly person gets hurt by a foul-ball or homerun.
I've taken one in the chest before. I've taken one in the arm before. Both to make sure it doesn't hit someone less able to take the impact.

- " Overall I was OK with what I experienced, although they should make the double private booking a bit more explicit - it only comes with one bed. Also, the WIFI does not work in the basement, which was a huge let down. And no soap?!? "
- 20 Dec 2014 Femi
- " It was very new and clean. Near to subway and this area is not dangerous. It is easy to living. I want have washing machines and hair duryer "
- 18 Dec 2014 yuka Japan
- " This place was the nicest hostel I've every stayed in! The dorms, bathrooms, and common areas were all impeccably clean and the hostel had a very modern feel. The staff was very friendly, and they were able to help us with everything from finding free parking, to restaurant recommendations. The hostel is right by a major metro line, so it takes about 5 minutes to get into Manhattan. The only downside is that the metro is above ground there, so it can be loud at night. "
- 15 Dec 2014 Shannon USA
- " The sink in bathroom is WAY too small! I'll give credit to the location and staff service though. The staffs are helpful and location is very convenient. "
- 13 Dec 2014 Anonymous Malaysia
- " I stayed at Q4 on a saturday night, and i got in around 9. i was so tired that i just went straight to sleep, however i was annoyed that people out in the lobby were being extremely loud. It was mostly annoying because there is a basement where they could hang out. I would definitely stay here again but i would have to complain about the noise if it was that bad again. "
- 13 Dec 2014 Isabella USA
- " I didn't spend much time at the hostel but it served all my basic needs - had a locker, felt secure, was clean and conveniently located right by a train station. Staff was always helpful. Only complaints are things that could be easily fixed - shower and toilet area had no hooks to hang clothes or anything which made changing tricky; also in a room of 5 beds there were only 4 lockers, one of which was broken. Didn't end up being a problem but I imagine it would be for others... "
- 03 Dec 2014 Anonymous USA
- " The gentleman that was working the front desk was horrible. When I entered he was on the computer in the back room and ignored me. When I announced I was there to confirm he saw me, he stayed in his seat, peaked around the door and asked me how he could help. I thought "well, obviously, if I'm at the front desk, I need something. Why would you not come to the desk and help me?" I felt like I was bothering his day by being there. That's my only complaint. Everything else was great. "
- 09 Nov 2014 Anwar USA
- " A good and clean hostel! And close to Manhattan! "
- 07 Nov 2014 andrea
- " We found this place very convenient for what we did in NY. It is very close to the subway so we could move around the city without a problem. Also the place is clean and confortable. "

- " Rooms were nice and clean, hostel was in great location. "

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 2/4/13
Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah will likely not play Monday night against the Indiana Pacers because of plantar fasciitis. "I don't think I'll be able to go," Noah told the Chicago Tribune after Monday morning's shootaround at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. "I'm moving in the right direction. Give it a couple more days and try to go on Thursday." Noah has dealt with plantar fasciitis in the past. He missed 18 games three seasons ago because of it. He said this time he is being more cautious. "The one in 09-10, I just kept playing through it," Noah said. "I probably played with it for a month until I couldn't anymore. This time, I stopped a lot earlier. I probably played on it for five or six games. I just knew what direction it was going in. In 09-10, I just tried to act like it wasn't there and play through it. That was a mistake. With a couple more days of treatment, I'm hoping to be OK." Power forward Carlos Boozer is reportedly a game-time decision with a sore right hamstring...

Moody teacher wins title, $50,000
CORPUS CHRISTI - Moody High School teacher Vinaykumar Dulip was awarded $50,000 at the 2008 H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards in Houston on Sunday.
As the winner of the lifetime achievement honor for the secondary school teacher category, Dulip was awarded $25,000 for himself and $25,000 for Moody High School. A total of $380,000 in financial gifts to educators and schools was awarded at the event.
For the past 10 years, Dulip and his students have been actively involved in performing field research as part of a technology grant. Students participate in monitoring the water quality of both the Oso Bay and the Salt Barrier Dam on the Nueces River at Labonte Park. Their findings are shared with scientists and other students from around the world.
"I instill in my students a stewardship attitude towards the environment -- take back more than what you came to the beach with," Dulip said in a prepared statement.
A native of India, Dulip earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1975 from the University of Pune. He earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and two master's degrees from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi in secondary education and mid-management.
Other area finalists included Kimberly Rezk, Flour Bluff High School; Melissa Mott, Flour Bluff Intermediate; Norma Longoria, Salazar Elementary in Robstown; Christine Marroquin, Early Childhood Development Center; and Kenneth Rohrbach, Three Rivers High School.

Magical Bay of KotorA two-hour drive from Dubrovnik, Croatia, past a check post border brought us to Montenegro's mountain-sheltered Bay of Kotor. Its natural beauty and well preserved, picturesque towns with Baroque architecture have justly earned it World Heritage Site status. Perast and Kotor, a 15-minute drive apart, are the two koh-i-noors of the area, propped between dramatically upright mountains and the placid bay. This place is all about the views, getting lost in the by-lanes, blundering into Orthodox churches with gentle faced priests waving incense burners and whiffs of lamb stew from kitchen windows. There was an unmistakable other-worldly feel about Kotor, as though it belonged to an older, more languid era.
As we drove on, the next few towns, especially Tivat and Budva had the commercial ring of the twenty first century. The massive Porto Montenegro development at Tivat, also on the bay, is solving for the lack of berthing spaces for international yachts in the area. It remains to be seen if this will turn out to be the new Monaco harbour, but for now nearby Budva is over run by beach loads of peroxide blondes, closely shaven blokes, loud pulsating music and strobe lights that pierce into the night sky. The antidote to badly zoned, over built Budva are the hills beyond, and we made our escape, driving past Centinje, the old capital, (stopping for a brief look at the Royal Palace Museum) before climbing into the folds of the lush pine forest.
Lovecen National Park's focal point, the Mausoleum to Njegos, Montenegro's national poet and hero, is on one of the highest peaks with staggeringly beautiful views of the surrounding hills and valleys. We felt elated, caught in the cool breeze between the barren peaks that extended in all directions; it was rust coloured nature in the raw. Montenegro is really all about the mountains, and as we drove to wards Kotor, the view down below the rugged scree, of a clutch of houses and churches next to the bay, made the heart turn.
Factfile How to get there: Fly Montenegro Airlines/JAT/ Austrian Airlines to Podgorica or Tivat or drive for 2 hours from Dubrovnik, Croatia
When to go: April to September
Stay at: The Sveti Stefan. The coastal Aman Resort is the poster child of Montenegro. Affordable Style- Ivanova Korita, a chalet with home cooked food in the forested Lovecen National Park.
Eat at: Demizana Restaurant, Slovenska Obala in buzzing Budva 3 033 455 028 Hotel Ivanov Konak, home cooked local specialties in a charming chalet in the Lovecen Mountain valley. Stari Mlini, a charming restaurant overlooking the Bay of Kotor
Explore: Bay of Kotor, Budva, Durmitor National Park's Tara canyon, Lovecen National Park and the Montenegrin coastline.

Wave Song
Name of Maker: CIndy Bell Neville
Wave Song is a true miniature Rhapsody quilt. It depicts mathematical and oceanic wave shapes. I challenged myself to machine applique very tiny pieces. Ricky Tims hand-dyes and Superior Threads Masterpiece were used in its construction. Jured into Houston, Road to California and Paducah.

Tripeptide #1 -- IPP
Name of Maker: Susan Hilsenbeck
This is part of a series of 'DNA' quilts that use hexagons and colors to represent the bases. The first in the series did not try to represent real sequence, but just represented the double helix shape. A more complex one that is still in progress incorporates sequence and a mutation of academic importance to my colleagues. The current iteration, IPP (isoleucine-proline-proline), is simpler, and represents a tripeptide (3 amino acid 'protein') that occurs in milk and has physiologic function. This one and its companion, GSH (glutathione), were made for show and sale in the Baylor College of Medicine Graduate Student Art Show and Auction. Proceeds benefit Texas Children's Hospital. See
for details of design and construction.

Hummingbirds and Flowers
Name of Maker: Sharon Engel
I saw this quilt on the old TQS site 5 years and contacted the quilter for the pattern. She indicated that the pattern was no longer being printed, but sold me her copy. I made this quilt with all the blocks and it just grew and grew. I love hand applique and this quilt took 4 years to applique, but when I was on the home stretch, got it finished very quickly.
She won Reserve Champion in our local county fair and Best in Show in the Colorado State Fair. She was at HMQS in May, 2015 and received a Teacher's Award. One issue with her is because she is so big she doesn't get into a lot of quilt shows.
I absolutely love this quilt and she will be living with me.

A to Z with Ewe and Me
Name of Maker: Sharon Engel
When this quilt came out as the BOM, I really didn't care for UNTIL I went to a TQS taping last November and they had it there in person. Well, she spoke to me to make her. She will be going to a new owner the end of July as, I wasn't planning to sell her, but this woman really wanted her, woohoo. It certainly is a fussy quilt, but very fun quilt to look at.

Mountain Top
Name of Maker: Shawn Priggel
This is what I ended up doing with my half square triangles from the TQS exchange a few years ago. I've actually had the quilt finished for more than a year - finally made myself sit down and bind it! It's an Edyta Sitar pattern she calls Mountain Top. Another traditional name for it is Railroad Crossing.

Stars and Stripes My Way
Name of Maker: Brenda Foreman
This is another quilt club project using the Stars and Stripes block, that I used my favorite fabrics to make it. I have so many projects using this fabric combination that my home decor theme goes from room to room.
It consists of squares, rectangles, and half square triangles. Just love it!

Round Robin
Name of Maker: Brenda Foreman
I belong to a quilt club that my friend is president of, and I drive 50 minutes one way to support her and attend the meetings twice a month.
This quilt used my favorite fabric combination, used in my bed quilt, and I've used in quite a few projects. First time making flying geese type blocks that were folded back and stitched making cathedral window type blocks with a contemporary twist to them.

So Many Stars
Name of Maker: Brenda Foreman
This is my first try at paper-piecing and a king-sized quilt. During the class, we could select which stars we wanted from the book, '50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars' by Carol Doak.
I used fabric from my stash, the batiks, my mother's stash (the yellow) and new fabrics, the print and associated prints. The print that repeats in all the stars was my starting off point in selecting fabric for this quilt. With all the bright colors, the width of the black sashing was important as it calmed and reined in the colors. After years of pondering how to have this quilt long-arm quilted, I finally had it quilted this year and it is awaiting the binding.
June 22, 2015
A Walk in the Garden
Name of Maker: Brenda Foreman
New to quilting I have taken classes and have found that piecing is like a mediation for me. This is only my second king sized quilt, and I have no place large enough to hang it for a picture, so it is on my bed. It is reversable because of the thread colors selected. I enjoy selecting the type of stitches and thread colors used by long-arm quilter, Cheryl, to quilt my quilts. I selected silk batting for this quilt -- which I found at a quilt show in Cincinatti, Ohio. It is made from different size squares.

June 19, 2015
Name of Maker: Candy Prudhomme
Entry for Cotton+Steel challenge through NW Arkansas Modern Quilt Guild. Our president brought back scraps from the Cotton+Steel booth at QuiltCon. The only restriction was that we could only add more Cotton+Steel fabrics and/or solids. I only had white and navy polyester that would coordinate with the fabrics I used. Matchstick quilting includes lettering, "+ Poly."

A Woman's Concept
Name of Maker: drblt
I began this quilt last year in a one day class with Jacking Gering. It is an original design. The title of the quilt is a play on the saying "Perfect symmetry is a man-made concept."
June 05, 2015
Mommie Dearest
Name of Maker: NA
Made for the Contemporary Quilt UK challenge: Elements, this quilt is about the elemental structure of our world: molten and solid rock with a metal core with hints of the thin layer of earth and water.
Various gelli prints on cloth pieced and appliqued with some overpainting. I used Alex's turned edge binging method.

A stitch out of time
Name of Maker: Dorothy Wolf
This is the second applique quilt I have done. I couldn't find a pattern for this, so drew it myself after seeing one made from the pattern a friend's grandma made. I did trapunto on the ladies, and free motion quilting was done on my bernina 330. I have only been quilting for 2 years, so still have a lot to learn:)

Value Does the Work
Name of Maker: Susan Hilsenbeck
A group of us are working our way through Carolyn Friedlander's book "Savor Each Stitch". I made this study in contrast for the CONTRAST chapter. The design used a 9-step gradation from white to black (hand dyes from Caryl Bryer-Fallert-Gentry purchased years ago). The shades are arranged following a carefully planned and very regular grid layout. I am amazed at how different things look depending on what they are next to. In the end, I could not resist putting in a little splash of color (which of course gets all the credit even though it hardly did any work). Assembly was done using Caryl Bryer-Fallert-Gentry's applique piecing method. More details are here:

Top Albums of 2013
West was inspired by minimalism from design, including architecture, with a particular interest in the works of Le Corbusier, and visited the Louvre several times while in Paris. Musically, Yeezus is dark and sonically experimental, combining elements of Chicago drill, dancehall, acid house, and industrial hip hop. West continues his use of unconventional samples, including the vocal refrain from Nina Simone's cover of "Strange Fruit".
The Marshall Mathers LP2
The album title was revealed during the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards on August 25 with a preview of the lead single "Berzerk" The song was released two days later, and peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. It was followed by two singles: "Survival", released on October 8, and "Rap God", released on October 15, 2013. The former debuted at number 17 on the Hot 100, and the latter at number seven. "The Monster", featuring Rihanna, was released as the album's fourth single on October 29, 2013.
The album debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with 286,000 copies sold, becoming Perry's best opening week to date. The album also peaked at number one in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Prism became Perry's fastest-selling album, the second best-selling album in Australia in 2013, and the second best-selling album released by a woman in the United States in 2013.
The album features guest appearances from Pharrell Williams, Drake, Lil Wayne, Mase, Chrisette Michele, Pusha T, Fergie, Iamsu!, T-Pain, Dolla Boy, Rich Homie Quan, and Lloyd among others. The album's production was handled by Diplo, Mike Will Made It, Drumma Boy, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Mannie Fresh, Wonder Arillo, Da Honorable C.N.O.T.E. and DJ Toomp, among others.
It was supported by the singles "Feds Watching" featuring Pharrell Williams and "Used 2", along with the promotional singles "Where U Been?" and "Netflix". Upon the album's release, it was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. It debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, and number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart selling 63,000 copies in its first week.
Pure Heroine
Pure Heroine received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who commended its songwriting and production, and praised Lorde's vocal ability. The record debuted at number one on the Official New Zealand Music Chart and the Australian ARIA Charts. Pure Heroine performed strongly on international record charts, reaching number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 and charting within the top-ten in eight additional countries. Pure Heroine was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards.
Save Rock And Roll
After several reformation attempts the album was recorded in secrecy at Rubyred Recordings in Santa Monica, California, beginning in the fall of 2012. The album sessions were marked by a desire to reinvent the band's sound in a more modern form. The band brought in producer Butch Walker for a fresh approach, marking their first time without longtime producer Neal Avron. In the band's new form, each member of the quartet was involved in crafting the compositions, although sessions were initially difficult as they struggled to reconnect.
Hail to the King
The album was a commercial and critical success, reaching number 1 on the Billboard 200. This marks Avenged Sevenfold's second album to top the Billboard chart as well as their first to reach number 1 in the UK, topping the UK Albums Chart. It also topped the Canadian, Brazilian, Finnish and Irish album charts. Also, the album spawned two number 1 singles on Billboard's Mainstream Rock, Hail to the King, and Shepherd of Fire. The former spent 11 weeks on the top of the chart. On July 16, 2014 the album was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of over 500,000 copies.
Love and War
Lightning Bolt
The band begun composing new songs in 2011, and had the album's first recording sessions in early 2012 before the musicians decided to take a break. As all the band members got into side projects afterwards, work on Lightning Bolt only resumed in March 2013. The music for Lightning Bolt has a harder rock sound with longer songs to contrast predecessor Backspacer, and the lyrics convey singer Eddie Vedder's feelings on aging and mortality.
Preceded by a promotional campaign focusing on Pearl Jam's website and social network profiles and two moderately successful singles, "Mind Your Manners" and "Sirens", Lightning Bolt was well received by critics, who considered the album an effective return to the band's old sound, and topped the charts in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
The album is the first former EMI title to be fully rebranded as a product of Universal Music. The only reference to its old parent is its UPC. On November 12, 2013, a deluxe edition was released, featuring three new songs and acoustic versions of three hits from previous albums.
Between its two releases, Golden has produced three Top 20 Country Airplay hits in the US, including the number one singles "Downtown" and "Compass".
True Believers
Watching Movies with the Sound Off (Deluxe Edition)
The album was supported by three singles, "S.D.S.", "Watching Movies" and "Goosebumpz", which peaked at number 41, 33, and 43 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs respectively. Upon its release, the album was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, which praised his new psychedelic hip hop influence and improved lyricism. The album also fared well commercially debuting at number three on the Billboard 200, selling 101,000 copies in its first week of sale.
Stay Trippy
Stay Trippy's production was handled between 2011 to 2013 by producers such as Juicy J himself, Mike WiLL Made It, Cirkut, Lex Luger, SAP, Supa Dups, ID Labs, Timbaland and Young Chop, among others. The album also features additional guest appearances from Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, The Weeknd, ASAP Rocky, Wale, Trey Songz, Young Jeezy, Big Sean, Pimp C, Trina, Yelawolf and Project Pat.
Upon its release, Stay Trippy was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, selling 64,000 copies in the United States during its first week. As of November 6, 2013, the album has sold 138,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album was supported by four official singles, the certified platinum "Bandz a Make Her Dance", "Show Out", "Bounce It" and "Talkin' Bout".
Hesitation Marks
On August 12, 2013, Amazon UK officially made the second track, "Copy of a", available for free to download. On August 22, 2013, a radio rip of "Find My Way" was uploaded to YouTube. On August 27, 2013, the album was streamed on iTunes after it leaked online. The album is available in two different masters for digital download, a "standard" version and an "Audiophile Mastered Version" - the latter having extended dynamic range, not meant to be competitive in the loudness war. The album was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the 2014 Grammy Awards.

The album was supported by six singles in total including, "Guap" which peaked at number 71 on the US Billboard Hot 100, "Switch Up" featuring Common, the lead single "Beware" featuring Lil Wayne and Jhené Aiko, which peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Fire", "Ashley" featuring Miguel, and "You Don't Know".
Drinks After Work
Mechanical Bull
Black Sabbath's original line-up first began work on a new studio album in 2001 with producer Rick Rubin. The album's development was delayed because Osbourne was in the middle of finishing his eighth solo album Down to Earth, and the rest of the band members eventually went on to pursue other projects, including GZR and Heaven & Hell.
The Bluegrass Album
The album was produced by Keith Stegall and Jackson's nephew, Adam Wright. It was recorded in Nashville and features Ronnie Bowman and Don Rigsby on harmony vocals, Sammy Shelor on banjo, Adam Steffey on mandolin, Tim Dishman on bass, Tim Crouch on fiddle, Scott Coney on guitar and Rob Ickes on resonator guitar.
"Blue Ridge Mountain Song" was released as a promotional single in advance of the album's release.
Two music videos were filmed for two songs of the album: "Blacktop" and "Blue Ridge Mountain Song". The music video for "Blue Ridge Mountain Song" stars Jackson's middle daughter, Ali, as the lead role.
House Of Gold & Bones Part 2
"House of Gold & Bones - Part 2" is the final album to feature guitarist Jim Root, who left the band in May 2014 to write and record songs for Slipknot.
On Ciara, the singer is reunited with music producers Rodney Jerkins and Jasper Cameron who have respectively worked on previous Ciara singles and albums. The duo are joined by The Underdogs, Soundz, D'Mile, Oligee, Josh Abraham and Mike Will Made It, amongst others. Writing contributions come from the likes of singer-songwriters: Wynter Gordon, Livvi Franc and Ali Tamposi, along with a number of contributions from Ciara herself.
...Like Clockwork
After several false starts and stops, the band began recording ...Like Clockwork in August 2012, initially hoping that collaborator Trent Reznor would produce the album. Following a tumultuous recording period, which included the departure of long-time drummer Joey Castillo, founding member Josh Homme described the album as "documenting the journey of moving forward, you know. It was a tough time and I thought, 'I can run away from this, or I can run into it.'"
Rebellious Soul
Settle received widespread critical praise and was nominated for the 2013 Mercury Prize. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, selling 44,633 copies in its first week. It had sold 165,000 copies by late October 2013, and was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry on 4 April 2014. A remix of the album, titled Settle: The Remixes was released on 16 and 17 December 2013 in the United Kingdom and United States, respectively.
Same Trailer Different Park
Modern Vampires of the City
Recorded in various locations, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Martha's Vineyard, Modern Vampires of the City is an attempt to distance the band from the sound they became heavily associated with following their 2008 debut and Contra. Broadly experimental, the sound featured on the record is the result of a variety of unconventional recording assets, including pitch shifting. The cover art is a 1966 photograph by Neal Boenzi of the smoggiest day in New York City history, on which the air pollution killed at least 169 people. Announced in a New York Times classified in February 2013, three singles were released: "Diane Young"/"Step", "Ya Hey", and "Unbelievers".
The Next Day
Taken as a complete experience, The Next Day comes off as a rebellion against everything in current pop. The album was recorded very quickly, without fuss (which, truth to tell, is the usual Bowie way of working) and the songs don't outstay their welcome. Instead of riding on endless grooves provided by industry insiders, Bowie once again works with Visconti and gathers old friends on songs that have a jagged, live-in-the-studio feel. Records may just be promos for monster, money-making tours now but Bowie isn't doing concerts. The internet gives us non-stop celebrity culture, but Bowie isn't talking—so there aren't any interviews with the warm, witty Cockney to contrast against the regal, iconic alien.
Spiky and agitated without coming off as bitter, the album hurtles out of the gate with the title track, slows down on the caustic "Dirty Boys" and jumbles celebrity and mortality on "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)." The majority of the songs here are lean rockers, with Station to Station's Earl Slick juggling the lead guitar slot with David Torn. Sometimes the songs brush past previous works (is that the drum intro to "Five Years" ending "You Feel So Lonely You Could Die"?) but this is an album about the rush to a future we know isn't going to end well for any of us. The elegiac love song "Where Are We Now?" treats memories like the walking dead and holds on to loved ones in the here and now. David Bowie doesn't pretend to have any answers with The Next Day but he still pushes ahead because that is what artists do -- they create. Instead of leaving you feeling empty, listening to this dark album is a strangely satisfying, enlivening experience. – Nick Dedina, Google Play
Annie Up
The vinyl LP version of the record was pressed by United Record Pressing in Nashville, TN.
My Name Is My Name
The album's production was handled primarily by Kanye West, along with others, such as Hudson Mohawke, 88-Keys, The-Dream, No I.D., Nottz, Don Cannon and Swizz Beatz. It also features guest appearances from Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, 2 Chainz, Kanye West, Big Sean, Future, Pharrell Williams, Chris Brown and Kendrick Lamar, among others.
Upon the album's release, it was met with universal acclaim from music critics and was positioned highly on many "Best Albums of 2013" lists by major publications. The album also fared well commercially debuting at number four on the US Billboard 200, selling 74,000 copies in its first week of release. As of November 20, 2013, it has sold 122,000 copies in the United States.
Doris features guest appearances from Odd Future members Domo Genesis, Frank Ocean, Tyler, The Creator along with Casey Veggies, Vince Staples, RZA and Mac Miller. Production was primarily handled by Sweatshirt under the pseudonym randomblackdude and production duo Christian Rich. Additional production was provided by Matt Martians, The Neptunes, RZA, Samiyam, BadBadNotGood, Frank Ocean, and Tyler, The Creator. The album was supported by three singles; "Chum", "Whoa" featuring Tyler, The Creator, and "Hive" featuring Vince Staples and Casey Veggies.
Upon its release, Doris was met with widespread acclaim from music critics, who praised Sweatshirt's lyrics and rhyme schemes along with the gritty underground production. The album also appeared on numerous critics' year-end lists.

BD-2 shares a reverse die with BD-1, and an obverse die with BD-3, the famous Nine Leaves rarity. BD-2 is scarcer than BD-1, but seldom commands a premium, which gives it additional value when selected for an early gold type set.
The present Small Eagle ten provides ample luster throughout the borders. The wings, branch, wreath, and hair also display bright luster. The cap, cheek, and drapery show moderate wear, and a loupe reveals occasional faint field marks, generally localized near the profile and the upper left stars. All early tens are under formidable type demand, but the short-lived Small Eagle type is especially popular.(Registry values: P5) (NGC ID# 25ZT, PCGS# 8551)

"We're talking about a choke of epic proportions [the blown coverage on 4th-and-8 against the Packers in the NFC North title game]," Steve Rosenbloom, a contributer to the Chicago Tribune's "Rosenblog," said in a recent article. "Which is saying something for this year's monumentally pathetic defense. Ask yourself this: who has gotten better under Tucker's coaching this season? Waiting. Wait. Ing."
That's pretty much the consensus in Chicago regarding first-year defensive coordinator Mel Tucker following the disastrous defensive effort of the 2013 Bears campaign. Some fans are taking it pretty bad, so bad that they created FireMelTucker.com and have tweeted that the former Jaguars coordinator and Chris Conte should stand in front of a firing range.
Bad defense? Haven't heard that about Chicago in a long, long time.
The question remains this offseason: should Tucker get axed for the embarrassment of a defense that was on the field this year? The squad was No. 30 in the league in points allowed and easily the worst rush defense. They also tied the '08 winless Lions for consecutive 100-yard rushers, allowing six in a row.
Yeah, that's pretty bad. But does he deserve all the blame?
The Bears have seen many starters on defense miss at least one game: Nate Collins, Henry Melton, Stephen Paea, Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman to name some. Briggs, a seven-time Pro-Bowler who was destined to fill the void left by longtime Bear Brian Urlacher, was sidelined for months despite leading the league in tackles before sustaining his injury against the Redskins early in the season.
Sure, injuries were a factor, but Tucker deserves most of the blame. Brought in by head coach Marc Trestman after serving as defensive coordinator for the Jaguars for four years, Tucker retained the 4-3 and defensive signals instead of incorporating his own, a warning flag that some thought was a lack of confidence in his own scheme. However, Chicago's personnel didn't fit with the constant blitz packages Tucker was dialing up on the sideline and resulted in countless missed tackles and assignments.
Let's not forget the dreaded blunder fumble when Julius Peppers stripped Aaron Rodgers in the division title game only to let Packers receiver Jarrett Boykin scoop it up for an easy score. Play until the whistle blows, guys.
A former Bears player went to Twitter to vent his frustration.
@hthill (Hunter Hillenmeyer) Dec. 29: "I run the gamut of emotions on that play, but guess what: that would NEVER happen to a Lovie Smith coached defense. #Bears"
Even Urlacher had something negative to say about the poor defense.
"The thing is, when Lovie was there, we didn't make mistakes," Urlacher said according to Dan Pompei's column on Sports on Earth. "We didn't run through wrong gaps. We did our walk-throughs every day and we knew where we needed to fit, we knew what we needed to do every single play. I'm not sure what's going on right now, but there are some big-ass gaps."
As bad as it all sounds, the players are standing by him.
"I thought Mel did an exceptional job," Tillman said. "I think he did a really good job despite all the injuries we had."
Tillman combined with Briggs to miss 15 games. To put it in perspective, the duo only missed 10 matchups in the previous eight years.
"I think he's a great coach," defensive lineman Shea McClellin said. "Just a few things fell out of place. It was unfortunate. But overall, I think he's a great coach. I learned a lot from him."
The NFL is a difficult business; I am personally surprised he survived the notorious "Black Monday" when five head coaches in the league were terminated. Unless general manager Phil Emery steps in, I highly doubt Tucker will be asked to leave by Trestman.
Regardless who is calling the plays in 2014, it is obvious that the Bears need long-term help on D. Free-agent signings and smart draft picks will be the key to remaining competitive in a healthy 2014 NFC North.

I like to set the table, placemats, pretty dishes, glasses, cloth napkins...even when it's just me! It makes me focus on the experience, rather than just the food...and I eat slower, like when I'm in a nice restaurant.
Smile while working out! It increases your endorphins and makes exercise more enjoyable. 30
I find something that really makes cardio exercise much more enjoyable is to first improve flexibility, then strength, and then increase cardio.
I can only exercise to music. It makes walking enjoyable.

Arrigoni WineryRead MoreAs the sun rises and falls on the Connecticut River Valley, its rays streak across the trellised vineyards of Arrigoni Winery. The winery creates a variety of crisp whites and luscious reds, both characterized by their soft, approachable fruit flavors. In addition to these traditional offerings, the vintner also makes wines blended from orchard-fresh apples, tart cranberries, and even maple syrup. After enjoying a glass of wine on the scenic outdoor patio, visitors are encouraged to peruse the onsite gift shop's collection of Yankee Candles, wine-themed presents, and baby photos of budding grape clusters.1287 Portland-Cobalt RoadPortland, CT US
The Crush ClubRead MoreLocated in the quaint town of Wallingford, Connecticut, The Crush Club gives visitors the opportunity to make their own wine. Grapes are sourced from across the globe—from Chile during the spring and from California, Washington, and Italy during the fall. Over the course of a year, students crush and press grapes, clean their barrels, then bottle, cork, and custom label the resulting wine before taking it home with them. During blending experience classes, participants taste five different wines, learn about the winemaking process, and experiment to create their own blend, custom labeling and bringing home one 750mL bottle.65 S Colony Rd.Wallingford, CT US
Haight-Brown VineyardRead MoreSince opening in 1975, Haight-Brown Vineyard has churned out 2,000 cases of grape-based libations each year from its nearly 10-acre vineyard and welcomed visitors into its rustic, cottage-like wine house. Emphasizing vinifera and French hybrid grapes, the state?s first-established winery creates a selection of wines that include the Big Red, a bold syrah; the Morning Harvest, a rich malbec; and Honey Nut Apple, a traditional apple wine that incorporates local honey and cinnamon. Vintners share their time-tested expertise during regular classes that teach aspiring oenophiles about a variety of vintages and techniques for cheese and chocolate pairing. Amid the tasting room?s wood accents and crackling stone fireplace, customers sample vintages and attempt to describe taste sensations with adjectives such as ?silky? or ?very different from milk.?29 Chestnut Hill Rd.Litchfield, CT US
Miranda VineyardRead MoreAs a boy, Manny Miranda participated in father-son bonding activities that were a lot cooler than catch. He worked alongside his father and grandfather at their family's winery in Portugal, where he busied himself each Autumn crushing and pressing the grapes, then preparing and casking the juices that would transform into wine. As an adult, he hoped to recreate the verdant hills of Portugal in the states. That dream led to Miranda Vineyard, where Manny worked with his own sons to perfect the old-world techniques he remembered from his childhood. The vineyard is now the birthplace of hand-crafted and complex wines, from the bright, summery rosé to the lush, full-bodied farmhouse wine. What's more, every single varietal in the Miranda Vineyard family boasts at least one award, and many can lay claim to three or more.42 Ives RdGoshen, CT US
Dalice Elizabeth WineryRead MoreSoft breezes skip off the shores of Amos Lake, rustling through trees and across the grassy acreage that surrounds Dalice Elizabeth Winery, where second-, third-, and fourth-generation Italian Americans share the secrets of their polished craft. Having dispersed its all-natural specialty foods and wines internationally, the winery's founding family continually impresses the palates of casual indulgers and contest judges alike, churning out grape-to-bottle chardonnays, merlots, and sauvignons that cannot be found on the shelves of local stores. In addition to tastings, the winery hosts winemaking and cooking classes, during which glasses clink between aspiring chefs and vintners as they learn to entertain houseguests or polite burglars with style and ease.6 Amos Rd.Preston, CT US
Sharpe Hill VineyardRead MoreSharpe Hill Vineyard may sit in the sleepy town of Pomfret, but that hasn't done anything to diminish the winery's international profile. Its wines have racked up more than 250 medals over the years, and with good reason. The Ballet of Angels vintage alone has won 15 awards; critics far and wide have spoken highly of the semi-dry white's citrusy blend with notes of peach, pear, and grapefruit. But that's just one of the vintages crafted by winemaster Howard Burnsen, who draws on 25 years of experience to create an eclectic variety of wines. The rich Cabernet Franc, for instance, pairs nicely with chocolate desserts and chocolate-covered vegetables, while the St. Croix, a dry red, pairs best with beef and lamb. Try out any of these pairings at the winery's own Fireside Tavern restaurant.108 Wade RoadPomfret, CT US

Marc Levin is the director of the Center for Effective Justice at the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), the state's leading conservative think tank. He is also one of the founders of Right on Crime, a national campaign to promote criminal justice reforms in state legislatures across the country. Criminal justice advocacy has traditionally been the province of those on the left side of the political spectrum, but that has changed. Levin's chief message, that incarcerating too many people for too long for nonviolent crimes isn't a good use of taxpayer funds, has resonated with conservative voters and legislators. He advocates more effective and less costly measures, such as drug courts, which divert low-level drug offenders to treatment programs instead of prison, and more effective use of probation. Levin (pictured below) and his colleagues, in concert with reform advocates like the ACLU and the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition, have helped foment a shift in long-held attitudes about criminal justice in the state in recent years. After decades of adding prison beds, Texas has actually closed three adult prison units along with a number of youth lockups since 2011. We recently spoke to Levin at TPPF headquarters, in Austin, where he walked us through the conservative case for criminal justice reform.
Nate Blakeslee: Governor Perry made headlines recently when he appeared to back marijuana decriminalization at the World Economic Forum, in Davos, [Switzerland]. In fact, it wasn't a surprise to people who have been paying attention to the governor's record on criminal justice reform. Talk about the difference between our state's reputation on law and order and the recent changes we have seen on the ground.
Marc Levin: Well, that's a great question, and you're obviously right about Perry. I think people forgot that he signed the bill in 2007 that [the Center for Effective Justice] worked on with the Sheriffs' Association, to allow cite and summons notices for certain misdemeanors, including the smallest amounts of marijuana possession. So it didn't actually change the penalty—it still remains a Class B misdemeanor—but the police could give you a cite and summons notice [ similar to a traffic ticket] instead of bringing you to jail. And of course, it was based on the research: we found very few people were actually sentenced to jail for small amounts of marijuana, but there were significant numbers in jail pre-trial who would at least spend the night. And if they couldn't afford to bond out, they would spend weeks or months—maybe lose their jobs—before their case was resolved, which ultimately would be probation and/or a fine. So this bill just made common sense.
Governor Perry also signed a bill in 2003 that said for less than a gram of hard drugs, for your first offense you would get probation rather than prison. So the governor has been supportive of many things like that and has certainly supported budgets that have expanded drug courts and closed prisons—so I certainly wasn't surprised. I think that's what Perry was referring to when he said, "We need to be smart about who we're incarcerating and incarcerate those who we're afraid of, not those who we're mad at."
NB: Tell me a little bit about how we got to where we are today, with politicians like Perry saying, "Let's be smart about crime." For people like you and me who grew up in the eighties, when all conservatives talked about was the importance of law and order, this is a major change.
ML: And the nineties too, especially. Ann Richards built a ton of prisons and then George W. Bush built even more than she did. From the early seventies to the mid-2000's, you saw a six-fold increase in incarceration in Texas and across the nation. Of course in Texas, everything's bigger, so we went from 30,000 prison beds to 155,000 prison beds. Now, again, there was a time when murderers and rapists were being let out way early, because we didn't have enough beds, and so our view was that some of this is needed. But as time went on, we swept too many nonviolent and low-risk offenders into prison. There were a lot of penalty enhancements being created by the Legislature, new crimes and so forth.
NB: So how did we get from there to here? Was there one particular turning point? A scandal? Was it budget pressures?
ML: Well, it's a combination of things. Our view has always been that the pendulum needed to swing a bit starting in the early seventies, but it swung a bit too far. People noticed that, "Look, we're not getting the same return on the money we're spending as we were when we were using that

If ALEC were an honest broker, it would recommend market-based solutions, like the Republican-inspired, acid rain cap-and-trade program championed by President George H.W. Bush. But that's not likely going to happen, because doing so would alienate its fossil fuel industry and trade association members.
There have been many climate-change debates among scientists as well as non-scientists. We need to recognize the difference between a scientific debate and other forms of disagreement. Science has ground rules. Those who don't follow the rules cannot legitimately claim to be participating in a scientific debate.

Product Reviews
Karen Peale5 Stars Out Of 5July 28, 2009Karen PealeI loved this book. It is funny at times (love the race) and the characters seemed so real I thought I was eating in the diner. I loved watching Caroline and Mitch grow, be redeemed and grow some more. You can't go wrong with this book in my opinion. As you read it, keep in mind that Caroline is not saved in the book. This is the stuff we see out in this world and we should be able to deal with these situations and love the person. Great read. I read the second book first, which did spoil things for me a bit. This is definitely the better of the two books.
lexi3 Stars Out Of 5August 10, 2008lexiBefore this book I hadn't really heard much about Rachel Hauck, and I must admit that I was surprised at how good this book was. I love Caroline (even if she is a bit 'rough at the edges'). The book has drama, quirky characters, and humor when you least expect it. It is well written and I never lost interest. On the downside, some of the characters are rugged, and some of the content is a bit too compromising, in my opinion. Keep in mind that this book is about Caroline searching for God.... and though she is a 'good girl' she's not exactly living a Christian lifestyle.
jrt5 Stars Out Of 5June 20, 2008jrtThis was a great book with a strong message for young women who are trying to trust God to send them their mate-put Him first. I gave this to my college daughter to read; very fun and surprising.
Lisa Carabott5 Stars Out Of 5June 17, 2008Lisa CarabottThis is such a wonderful book! The author gets a hold of you, and has you fall in love with the characters, and the local. It is filled with enough emotion to keep you reading long past your intent. Pull up a comfortable chair and be ready to enjoy.

I love it from the heart-head-ear conversations to the screaming in my head what I thought she should do. :) This story of a girl in her late twenties growing up is something that anyone could benefit from reading.

Over all this book was a comfy read and caused more giggles and grins that I care to admit. The whole cast of characters was a hoot and found a warm place in my heart. I cannot wait to read more through Love Starts with Elle. Rachel Hauck has a real winner here and I'm definitely putting her future books on my TBR lists.

The S&P 500 posted a weekly loss for the first time in five weeks, setting off alarms that the bull market's sustainability may be at risk. So as Wall Street suffered through a gloomy week of rain and stock losses, we went in search of a ray of sunshine to kick off the Memorial Day weekend.
We found Wayne Nordberg, chairman and chief investment officer of Hollow Brook Wealth Management, who provided a laundry list of positivity: Private employment is up. Public spending is down. The deficit is shrinking. Companies are flush with cash. Housing has begun to grow again, as has U.S. manufacturing. And last, but not least, the U.S. may be on the verge of energy independence.
"We are at the early stages of a multiyear bull market," says Nordberg, who believes that U.S. stocks could climb as much as 50% over the next two years. Before the bull departs, funds will flow out of fixed income and into equities, he says. Nordberg, who is far from a perma-bull, cites work done by Charles Gave, chairman of GaveKal Research, to bolster his case:
Of the world's $209 trillion of financial assets, roughly $45 trillion is invested in government debt, $65 trillion is in loans, and $46 trillion is in corporate debt. With inflation at 2%, investors are poised to lock in real losses on three-quarters of the world's investible assets. The Fed has suppressed yields and volatility, Gave warns, and investors don't understand the risks they are taking when buying fixed-income products. Mispriced capital means that companies that should be going bankrupt are continuing to exist, and some areas of the economy are suffering from overinvestment.
"When volatility reappears in the bond market, you could have the mother of Black Swans," says Gave.
Commodities such as steel may be suffering from misallocated capital. Morgan Stanley estimates that since 2000, the global steel industry has added nearly one billion metric tons of crude-steel capacity, while production and demand growth were much lower, near 700 million tons. The nearly 300 million tons of excess capacity could prevent an industry turnaround anytime soon.
At least in equities, Gave says, volatility is being correctly priced. His suggestion: Buy knowledge-based companies without fixed costs in the technology, health-care, and energy industries. Stay away from banks, because their bond holdings will be hurt as the fixed-income markets correct. Avoid European exposure because France is heading toward insolvency and the euro could dissolve, he warns.
U.S. corporate earnings will have to come through for equity investors to gain confidence that stock markets can head higher. First-quarter operating earnings growth at 3.3% was nothing to write home about, though on an absolute basis, at $26.47 a share, it was a quarterly record, according to John Butters, a senior earnings analyst at Factset. Growth will slow even further in the current quarter to 1.4%, but the second half of the year looks much better.
Analysts are expecting earnings growth of 7.8% and 13% in the third and fourth quarters, respectively, which would bring quarterly earnings to $29.38 a share.
It's always dangerous to depend on second-half earnings estimates to propel a market. But this year, companies have very modest results in 2012 to compare against. Earnings fell 1.1% in last year's third quarter, primarily because of a sharp profit decline in the energy and materials sectors, and they rose only 4.2% in the fourth quarter. So the hurdles to achieving sunny returns aren't very high.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, the store is offering 20% discounts on merchandise purchased with a J.C. Penney credit card.
Penney's increasing promotional activity was flagged by Morgan Stanley analyst Kimberly Greenberger. Roughly 60% of the store was on sale when she checked in mid-May, versus only 35%-40% two weeks prior and just a selected few "month-long values" last year, she wrote last week.
The strong promotional activity may start to put pressure on the competition. "Increased unit sales by J.C.

Sure enough, Sears Holdings reported disappointing numbers last week, and its shares tumbled 14% on Friday. Penney's promotions could sink Sears' attempts to right the ship. Other retailers should consider themselves on notice.

This recipe was sensational when we made it with ripe, flavorful peaches. If your peaches aren't great, try something similar, like nectarines.
YIELD: Makes about 1 quart
In a small heavy saucepan heat sugar and water, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cool syrup. Peel and pit peaches and in a food processor purée until smooth. Transfer 2 cups purée to a bowl, reserving remainder for another use, and stir in syrup and lemon juice. Chill peach mixture until cold and up to 1 day.
Stir in egg white and freeze in an ice-cream maker. Serve gelato immediately or transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden no more than 3 hours.

James Bond in print involved a lot of intrigue, sexy situations and intellectual fun to readers. The literary J.B. was imagined more as a mid-20th century version of British "ace of spies" Sidney Reilly than a Hollywood action hero.
Known mostly by hardcore Bond fans, Ian Fleming set two James Bond spy adventures in our region. In "For Your Eyes Only", Bond visits Vermont on an unofficial assignment for spy boss M, and in "The Spy Who Loved Me," he falls for a sexy woman managing an Adirondack motel north of Lake George Village, N.Y.
In the 1960 short story "For Your Eyes Only", Bond flies to Montreal, Canada, and then crosses the border into Vermont via car to track down a bad guy named von Hammerstein. The German thug lives on a guarded estate overlooking Echo Lake in Plymouth, Vt. Without spoiling the location details or plot, we will report that a violent shootout occurs between Bond and some nasty Cuban gunmen.
It's fun to imagine a famous spy on a secret mission in Vermont; it's too bad the 1981 film of the same title had little in common with Fleming's print version. The Vermont Film Commission would have appreciated the true-to-the-book location business.
In the 1962 novel, "The Spy Who Loved Me", Bond is again in the land of northern lakes, this time he checks into the Dreamy Pines Motor Court located along Route 9N in Lake George, N.Y. But don't bother checking into this motel to get a feel for Bond - it's fictional.
Bond appears in only a few chapters of "The Spy Who Loved Me." Again, without spoiling the plot, we'll at least reveal that the story involves, sex, gangsters and a certain British spy.
In rereading both Bond tales, it's easy to see that Fleming wrote about the greater Champlain Valley region with some authority. Vermont freelance writer and long-time 007 fan Beth Schaeffer reports that Fleming had motored through Vermont and upstate New York for several weeks while on a vacation during the early 1950s.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 1/23/13
Former Oakland receiver Tim Brown suggested a few days ago that then-Raiders coach Bill Callahan sabotaged Super Bowl XXXVII with a late change of the offensive game plan. On Wednesday, Brown said that's not what he meant. "I have never said that he sabotaged the game," Brown said on the Dan Patrick radio show. "All I'm saying is, all I was saying after the game was, you know, the question was asked about this situation, but no one ever said -- and I said on the radio show last Saturday night -- that's something that could never be proven. We can't go inside the mind of Bill Callahan and say, 'Oh, yeah, we knew exactly what he was thinking, what he was trying to do.' "All I'm saying is, the question was asked. But, of course, the media hears 'sabotage' and 'Bill Callahan' and 'throwing the football game;' now they're saying 'Throwing the football game' and that terminology was never used. But that wasn't the intent." Callahan called the sabotage comments "ludicrous" on Tuesday...
