Approaching the Old Hotel from the New Sheraton
On our final day in Parque Nacional del Iguazu, when we were on our own to wander at our leisure, we walked back uphill from the Lower Circuit to the area of the new Sheraton hotel, the only accommodations actually located inside the National Park. Just a few hundred feet away from the modern Sheraton stands the original old hotel used by tourists when visiting this amazing display of cataracts.
There does not seem to be much information available on the history of this old colonial-style building, but it seems to be quite empty these days. The 2nd photo gives a closer view of the architecture that so appealed to us.
Directions: Close to the Sheraton Hotel in the Parque Nacional
Theme: Hotel
Empty Verandahs of the Old Hotel
We detoured through the Old Hotel as we continued on our walk from the cataracts back to the Visitor Centre of the Parque Nacional, where we were to meet our taxi at a pre-arranged time.
It was nice to wander the empty verandahs and corridors of this now abandoned building, especially for the shade from the hot afternoon sun! We did not see anyone else there as we peered into rooms and explored the old building. I think some of the rooms may still be occasionally used for small meetings of groups of naturalists or the like, but I am not sure. One thing the tourist literature does mention is that, if you have an unfortunate encounter with a spider or snake, you should head to the First Aid Centre located in this old building as fast as you can!
We liked the old hotel - it reminded us of our long-past days in Africa. I hope that this amazing structure is preserved as part of Argentina's history. So far, it still seems to be in good shape.
Theme: Hotel
Room Block from Poolside
The 118-room, 4-star Esturion Hotel was selected for us by our internet tour organizer, Ripio Turismo, so we were picked up from the airport by our local tour operator, Cuenca del Plata, and promptly delivered to our accommodations. The hotel is located almost at the end of the streets in Puerto Iguazu, on the point of land where the Iguazu and Parana Rivers meet.
Unique Qualities: We liked the looks of the place as soon as we drove in through their big gate in the fenced-off hotel grounds. Nicely manicured grounds, clay tennis courts off to the side and a beautiful swimming pool at a lower elevation with colourful bougainvillea vines climbing the walls. It was looking good already!
Since we were pre-paid as part of the package deal, we never actually paid a room rate, but an internet site (details below) quotes their single and double rooms at about US$70. After a hot day walking around the national park at Iguazu Falls, we really enjoyed the pleasures of this hotel swimming pool!
Address: Av. Tres Fronteras 650, Puerto Iguazu
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: At the far end of Puerto Iguazu, almost where the Rio Iguazu meets the Rio Parana
Other Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: 30 2842 090 300
Price: US$20-40

Our Balcony View over Rio Iguazu Valley
The 2nd floor bedroom was spacious enough for our needs and also had a nice balcony with table and chair, giving us a view out to the Iguazu River. The bathroom was also adequate and, although all water was not working once when we returned from a trip, a call to maintenance had it flowing again in no time.
The air conditioning unit was just barely able to hold it's own in the summer heat, but it was enough to do the job. The mini-bar located in the fridge did not see much use. However, because the bar did not sell wine by the glass for our evening meals, it came in handy to keep our bottle of left-over white wine cold! The price of a whole bottle was A$20 (US$7) so in reality, about the same as a glass of wine in a fancy restaurant back home!
Unique Qualities: The hotel breakfast, also part of our package deal, was excellent with a great choice of fruits, pastries, cereals and so on. This room also served as their high quality restaurant for evening meals or you could order something at their lobby bar area which overlooked the swimming pool.
Located along a beautifully treed street, the hotel is only about a 10-15 minute walk from the heart of Puerto Iguazu. Staying in PI instead of at the posh Sheraton 20-km away at Iguazu Falls gives you more flexibility during the evenings to enjoy the nightlife of this friendly city.

On the Rocks
2515 N. Scottsdale Road
Scottsdale, AZ 85257
Scottsdale, AZ 85257
- Daily 6am-2am
Despite its proximity to Old Town, there's no glitz or glamour at On The Rocks. Therein lies its allure. Hidden away in a corner of the Wilshire Plaza strip mall, this dank dive looks like it was cut and pasted straight out of one of Charles Bukowski's poems. There's kitschy décor on the walls, cheap hooch, and a colorful cadre of regulars. There's no happy hour to speak of - mainly because the drinks are reasonably priced to begin with. A domestic pint (no imports or microbrews on tap here, thank you very much) will only set you back $2.25. Well drinks are just three bucks and $4 will get you a small pitcher of beer. There's also no food, although affable daytime bartenders like Purple (so named for her proclivity for wearing shirts of the same color) can usually be persuaded to nuke a bag of microwave popcorn to keep your munchies at bay.

LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger (8) throws a pass under pressure Saturday from Mississippi State linebacker Benardrick McKinney. LSU won, 59-26.
- Filed Under
The Air Mett flight plan continues.
LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger was named the Southeastern Conference offensive player of the week on Monday after he completed 25 of 29 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns in the Tigers' 59-26 victory at Mississippi State Saturday.
The 25 completions were a career high and the most by an LSU quarterback since Rohan Davey was 31 of 53 for 444 yards in a 47-34 win over Illinois in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 2002. With his 372-yard passing game against Georgia on Sept. 28 and the State game, Mettenberger has become the first LSU quarterback since Matt Flynn in ...

"Religion is arguably the most controversial topic in history. There is no other subject that is more hotly debated-or more carefully avoided. . . . What it takes is someone who is actually willing to confront the situation by asking the right-albeit uncomfortable-questions. In his book entitled Muslim, Christian and Jew: Find a Path to Peace our Faiths can Share, Liepert distinguishes himself by doing just that. He dives headfirst into his piece by asking the complex question of why there is so much conflict between the world's three most popular religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Using impeccably researched excerpts from a variety of religious scriptures such as the Bible, the Torah and the Koran, Liepert argues what many other authors would be hesitant to admit: that all three faiths essentially preach the same lessons and values. He emphasizes his key points in the form of bullet points at the end of each chapter, a clever structural mechanism for readers who, like myself, get lost when deciphering even the most lucid of religious texts. Despite the content's educational qualities, it is not to be confused with anything textbook. Liepert's tone is as anecdotal as it is matter-of-fact, keeping the reader hooked through tales of his journey from questioning Christianity as a child to finding himself as a Muslim in adulthood. He effortlessly draws his personal experiences with religion into the book's overall message-that it is possible to find yourself through one faith while also supporting others. In today's religious climate, this straightforward and open-minded approach to the matter is more than stimulating; it is vital." -- Good Books in Bad Times (HarperOne blog)
"The Abrahamic religions of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism have a great deal in common with respect to their advocacy of peace, justice, the brotherhood of man, compassion, generosity to the less fortunate, honesty, and the honoring of the family. Yet down through the centuries there is a long history of violence between all three of these communities that continues to be manifest today in acts of terrorism, war, and discrimination. Must it always be so? That is the question addressed in the pages of Muslim, Christian, and Jew: Finding a Path to Peace Our Faiths Can Share by Canadian author David Liepert, who draws upon scripture, history, his many years of experience and expertise with respect to interfaith relations, and his own personal journey from being a Christian to converting to Islam. Peace is not only possible, but ultimately inevitable-if we are willing to work at it and practice the tenets that are the foundation of all three faiths. Highly recommended for community library 'Religion/Spirituality' collections, Muslim, Christian, and Jew: Finding a Path to Peace Our Faiths Can Share is especially recommended reading for anyone concerned with the continuing parochial animosities that have caused so much misery in the name of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam." -- Midwest Book Review
"Dr. David Liepert is a brilliant new North American Muslim voice. He has put much work into his tireless efforts, building bridges between our faiths and civilizations. I know his commitment to dialogue, respect, and understanding among different faiths, and I hope this work will be another step towards that vision." -- Dr. Imam Hamid Slimi, Chairman of the Canadian Council of Imams
"One danger of interfaith dialogue is that differences in theology or dogma can be so smoothed over or diluted that the integrity of each religion is sacrificed for the sake of an ecumenical consensus. Dr. David Liepert's Muslim, Christian, and Jew takes a very different path. As much a fascinating spiritual autobiography as a plea for interfaith understanding, Liepert (who has been engaged in interfaith dialogue for many years) confronts rather than waters down differences in a textual criticism of the three Abrahamic religions. This often takes the form of an internal dialogue, particularly when dealing with his own conversion from an evangelical Christianity to what might be described as an evangelical Islam. The binding thread to this book is a recurrent and impassioned plea for the practitioners of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism to transcend their undeniable differences and relatively recent past histories on the basis of that 'Common Word' shared by all three religions-love of God and love of neighbor-and to apply this core conviction existentially and not just affirm it." -- S. Abdallah Schleifer, Reviewer for the Oxford Journal of Islamic Studies, Distinguished Professor of Journalism at the American University in Cairo, former Cairo bureau chief for NBC News

About the Race
Foundations Recovery Network's mission is to be the leader in evidence-based, integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders through clinical services, education and research. The Heroes in Recovery movement started because according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 20 million people needed substance abuse treatment last year and did not receive it. About 10 million Americans did not receive needed mental healthcare. The stigma associated with substance abuse and mental health disorders creates a significant barrier to individuals and families seeking help. It takes a heroic effort to live clean and sober each day, and a Heroes 6K celebrates that effort. The sixth kilometer separates a Heroes race from a typical 5K to symbolize the extra effort it takes to sustain recovery. The six kilometers also represent the six letters in the word HEROES. These races inspire communities to support recovery and also to live healthy, active lifestyles.*
*We do not offer registration refunds under any circumstance.
Click Sponsorship Opportunities for review and please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
The 2015 Charity Beneficiary
The local charity beneficiary for this race is Phoenix Multisport, which fosters a supportive, physically active community for individuals who are recovering from alcohol and substance abuse and those who choose to live a sober life. Through such pursuits as climbing, hiking, running, swimming, road and mountain biking, and other activities, Phoenix Multisport seeks to help their members develop and maintain the emotional strength they need to stay sober.

People love John Anderson's jaw-dropping baritone voice, which helped make his million-selling Swingin' the biggest-selling country single in the history of Warner Bros Records. He is undisputedly a singer-songwriter-musician puts heart and soul into his pure country songs like no one else. With four decades and 24+ albums worth of hits under his belt, Anderson's charted more than 40 singles on the Billboard country music charts and 5 number one hits for his laid-back, traditionally-styled tunes like "Straight Tequila Night," "Swingin'," "Seminole Wind," "I'm Just an Old Chuck of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be a Diamond Someday)." Along the way, he's won several CMA awards and top industry honors like Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year nominations.
Now he comes to the Spencer for two shows on Saturday August 11 at 2 p.m. & 8 p.m., ready to play all his classic hits and then some, together with his awesome fiddler Joe Spivey, steel guitarist Glenn Rieuf, percussionist Tommy Rivelli, bassist Rocky Thacker and guitarist Coleman Murphy.
Excellent seats are available for $63-$69. Call the Spencer Box Office at 575.336.4800 or go online to www.spencertheater.com for tickets and information.
A native Floridian born in 1955, Anderson kicked-off his career in Nashville in his early 20s, where he scored a contract for Warner Bros., and released his first single in 1978. His self-titled debut album appeared in 1980 and helped signal the rise of the new traditionalist movement, drawing critical praise and a series of hits including: "She Just Started Liking Cheating Songs," "1959" and "Chicken Truck" which became his first country Top Tens, and his "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal, "which went Top Five. A couple of years later, his Wild and Blue became a chart-topper, a feat he duplicated twice with "Black Sheep" and the mega-hit "Swingin'."
The easy-going vocalist returned to the Top Ten several times over the next few years, most notably with 1984's "She Sure Got Away with My Heart." He became a major force again in the '90s, starting with 1992's Seminole Wind. Its title track went to number two, and the follow-up, "Straight Tequila Night," went all the way to number one; "When It Comes to You" also made the Top Five. Anderson scored another number one with the neo-honky tonk "Money in the Bank" and hit the Top Five three times in the mid-90s with "I Wish I Could Have Been There," "I've Got It Made," and "Bend Until It Breaks." His latest albums, Easy Money, Big & Rich and Bigger Hands also charted hot, keeping him on regular play lists every since.

When teaching Colorado history to K-12 students, at least 25 more teachers will be incorporating the historical perspective of Latinos.
"I'm going to look at important Hispanic families and talk about how they settled and their contributions to how Colorado developed," said Jodi Connelly, a third-grade teacher at McElwain Elementary, a dual-language school in the Adams 12 District.
On Thursday, the teachers learned from historians and other teachers about how to incorporate newly gathered historical resources that document Latinos in Colorado into their history lessons.
"I challenge you to take a regular assignment you do and figure out a way to insert a primary source or a story," Michelle Pearson, a teacher who led part of the class, told the group. "It makes it a richer experience."
Tanya Batzel, a Cherry Creek middle-school curriculum-program coordinator, said she was thrilled to get the ideas.
"It's a gold mine of resources," Batzel said. "We always go for the typical perspective. It's not that we don't want to teach something different; it's that a lot of teachers don't realize there's more out there to share."
The Center for Colorado and the West at Auraria Library started gathering Latino Colorado history materials eight years ago to supplement a meager 136 digital artifacts focused on Latinos out of 100,000 in the Denver Public Library's online photo collection.
The organization partnered with Metropolitan State College of Denver's Teaching With Primary Sources, History Colorado and the Auraria Library to create the class for teachers. An online compilation of resources will soon be available to everyone.
By going directly to descendants of local Latino families, historians gathered photographs, artifacts such as blankets and documents including land grants.
Christine James, who teaches Spanish at Graland Country Day School in Denver, said she got ideas for using history lessons to reinforce language skills.
"They're not learning what they call 'baby words,' " James said. "With names, I can work on pronunciation. I can use maps and teach them why there are so many places in Colorado with Spanish names."
Peggy O'Neill-Jones, a professor in Metro State's Teaching With Primary Sources program, said organizers would like the program Hispanics in Colorado to grow to reach more educators and for the concepts to be expanded to other ethnic groups.
"We're modeling what we want to bubble to the top because there are so many perspectives," O'Neill- Jones said. "Just because they didn't end up in front and center of a textbook doesn't mean they weren't here and that their experiences didn't affect them and their families."
Connelly said making the connection is important because most of the students in her class are Latino.
"I realized today that we are always telling stories and talking about dead white men with wigs," Connelly said. "I want to show my students that their people had a place in making the state what it is."
Teachers on Thursday agreed that making those connections and allowing students to have artifacts or photographs in their hands might help make history lessons memorable.
"When you can personalize the meaning and answer the 'So what?' question, that's a lasting education," Pearson said.

This might actually be interesting if the Kansas Board of Education wasn't already incredibly slanted towards Creationism. Unfortunately, it's probably all for show.Evolution to go on trial' in Kansas
State plans 10-day hearing on issue
By DAVID KLEPPER
The Kansas City Star
TOPEKA Kansas' evolution debate will play out in a 10-day, courtroom-style hearing this spring, with experts from both sides testifying before a school board panel.
On trial is the theory of evolution, and the verdict could go a long way in determining the science curriculum taught in state schools.
Evolution critics want school curriculum to include alternatives, or at least challenges, to the theory.
Hearing dates are not yet set. The public may attend the hearings but will not be allowed to speak.
A three-member Board of Education subcommittee will hold the hearings and report its findings to the full board before members vote on the science standards.
Proponents of the idea of intelligent design say the hearing will give them an opportunity to show the evolution's weaknesses, and why alternatives to the theory should be taught too.
Intelligent design is the idea that a higher power has directed life's development.
The controversy over evolution is the big dog on the porch the 800-pound gorilla, said board Chairman Steve Abrams, of Arkansas City, who also leads the subcommittee. Abrams said the hearings could be useful and enlightening to everyone in the state.
Topics will include how to teach evolution, its validity as a theory and the definition of science.
But supporters of current standards say the hearings could make Kansas the laughingstock of the nation, much as in 1999, when the board voted to de-emphasize evolution in the state's curriculum, leaving the decision to teach evolution up to local districts. Supporters also worry that the hearings will favor rhetoric over hard science, especially before a panel that is critical of evolution.
The perception among many of my colleagues is this is rigged, said Steve Case, a University of Kansas research scientist who leads the state science curriculum committee. I have a terrible fear for Kansas that this could be portrayed as a Scopes trial.
Case was referring to the 1925 trial of Tennessee high school teacher John Scopes, who was charged with breaking the law by teaching evolution.
Case, asked by the committee to find scientists to defend evolution, said he wasn't sure he could find people who would submit to the hearings.
The 26-member committee, made up of scientists and educators, has been reviewing the curriculum since June. The panel held a hearing in Topeka on Wednesday to hear from the public.
The state periodically reviews its curriculum, but this year's review of science standards took on an added controversy in January when conservatives critical of evolution assumed the majority of the 10-member school board.
Thursday's hearing brought out about 150 residents, mostly from Manhattan, Topeka and Lawrence. They represented the diversity of the debate: defiant creationists and unapologetically secular professors, as well as Christian evolutionary biologists, scientists who reject the theory and professors who worry new standards would disadvantage students in an increasingly high-tech society.
John Millam, a software engineer with a doctorate in physics, left work early in Kansas City to come to the hearing at a Topeka hotel. The Mission resident said he doesn't want the panel studying science standards to veer too far in any direction.
The scientists say, We're right.' The creationists say, We're right,' Millam said. Science should be neutral.

Rain a good bet this weekend
There's a very good chance you'll need your umbrella at some point over the weekend as our weather pattern becomes increasingly unsettled over the next several days.
Today should end up being the driest of the next few days before showers and storms start becoming more numerous on Sunday.
In terms of the timing of today's rain, our best chance will actually come from morning through midday as some isolated showers and even a few storms wash ashore from the coastal waters. The westerly winds will steer the heavier rains inland through the afternoon hours, so the second half of the day should end up staying fairly quiet with the exception of some stray showers.

Ben Folds Five
The Sound of the Life of the Mind
ImaVeePee Records/Sony Legacy
Fans had reason to get excited for the reunion of the original Ben Folds Five 13 years after the release of the piano-pop trio's final album together, 1999's "The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner." Folds has had a fine career as a solo act for the past 12 years, but he was at his most adventurous with the Five, from the gonzo swinging jazz of "Steven's Last Night in Town" to his greatest hit, "Brick."
It was too much to expect a return to such grandeur with "The Sound of the Life of the Mind." One track alone stands out: "Away When You Were Here," which overdoes the strings but features refreshingly matter-of-fact lyrics addressing mixed feelings toward a deceased parent. Otherwise, there are no great hooks or memorable lyrics, no new territory explored, nor is there any ambition to speak of. If only the reunion resulted in a re-energized and revitalized Folds. Instead, he has never seemed more tired.

Carly Rae Jepsen
Schoolboy Records/604 Records/Interscope Records
Justin Bieber discovery Carly Rae Jepsen had the biggest hit of the summer with her giddy pop charmer "Call Me Maybe." But there's no chance that "Kiss," the album that includes "Maybe" and "Good Time," her disposable but high-charting duet with Owl City, will be the biggest of the fall.
Despite all the overdone production and bedroom-dance-aspiring beats, the songs are more inconsequential than expected - aside, perhaps, from the twinkly eyed "Beautiful," a duet with Bieber. Jepsen could learn a thing or two from him: Even though he's just 18, his EDM-inspired summer album, "Believe," featured textured production values as well as lyrics that tweens, teens and adults could get behind. It was a good step forward from the kids' stuff he cut his teeth on. Jepsen is 26, but the songs on "Kiss" sound like they were the first written works of a 14-year-old.
- Piet Levy
Jepsen opens for Justin Bieber at 7 p.m. Oct. 21 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
Band of Horses
Mirage Rock
Columbia Records
On its first three albums, Band of Horses galloped along the trails paved by its influences, including Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and the Band. With Rock and Roll Hall of Fame producer Glyn Johns (the Rolling Stones, the Who, Eagles) grabbing the reins on "Mirage Rock," the band largely avoids some of the dreamier aspects of its breakthrough album, "Infinite Arms," and hews closer than ever to its classic rock idols - arguably too close on "Slow Cruel Hands of Time." Yet with its aching lyrics and lovely guitar lines, it's the album's standout track, and it could easily be mistaken for an older Neil Young tune if the modern production values and singer-songwriter Ben Bridwell's vocals weren't such a strong giveaway.
It's also an indication that Band of Horses is perhaps too content to follow a formula instead of paving a path of its own. But that's not consistently the case on "Rock": "Dumpster World" starts off sounding like CSNY before it explodes into one of the band's grittiest rock jams.
- Piet Levy
The Truth About Love
Pop music has always been filled with magpies - a polite ornithology-derived term for "thieves" - but some feather their nests better than others. Katy Perry, for example, is only an average magpie, bright colors and sales figures notwithstanding, while P!nk is perhaps the most adroit modern magpie, stealing with a sneer and a shake of her tail.
Her latest nest, "The Truth About Love," is laced with bright baubles and shiny scrap. The chrome-and-neon "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" has affinities to Kelly Clarkson's single "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" - Greg Kurstin produced both - and "(Expletive) Like You" giddily grabs both the trebly riff and the "woo hoo!" refrain from Blur's "Song 2."
Collaborators are also partners in crime, with Adele favorite Dan Wilson providing earnestness to "The Great Escape" and Nate Ruess of Fun. lending emo grandeur to "Just Give Me a Reason."
Yet it's ultimately P!nk's attitude - sometimes tough, sometimes tender, always confident - that lets her not only raid the musical candy store but also sell the sweets back to us.

Aimee Mann
Aimee Mann is an adult-alternative poet of resignation and reduced expectations. Her voice often drops into a murmur or a mutter to encapsulate a sense that, in the end, everything and everyone will disappoint.
This doesn't exactly translate into fun listening, so Mann is at her best when she makes music that is almost as bright as her lyrics are grim.
On her eighth solo album, "Charmer," she and her regular producer, Paul Bryan, blend crisp guitars, new wave-ish keyboards and "Abbey Road" bass lines into melodies that already have considerable pep.
They need that pep to hold up against the subject matter: the self-destructive siren of "Crazytown," the grinning smoothies of the title track and the admitted frauds of "Living a Lie" (with the Shins' James Mercer playing co-confessor).
"Charmer" has the alluring tension of a famous Samuel Beckett quote, with the voice saying, "I can't go on" and the music replying, "I'll go on."
- Jon M. Gilbertson
Big & Rich
Hillbilly Jedi
Warner Bros. Records
In the wake of a five-year break to pursue solo ambitions, the duo of John Rich and "Big" Kenny Alphin have reignited their early brash and bold sound on their fifth studio album. They mark their return on the opening "Born Again" with bravado: Jon Bon Jovi joins in on vocals as Richie Sambora's electric guitar wails over a wall of strings, pounding drums and slide guitar.
The duo has long loved over-the-top party anthems like "Cowboyz" and the thumping "Rock the Boat," and there's plenty of those songs here; also, regular collaborator Cowboy Troy raps on "Get Your Game On." But Big & Rich are most engaging when harmonizing on "Lay It All on Me" and combining tenderness and optimism on "That's Why I Pray."
- Erik Ernst, Special to the Journal Sentinel
Dwight Yoakam
3 Pears
Warner Bros. Records
It's been seven years since Dwight Yoakam released a new studio album, but "3 Pears" is worth the wait.
Yoakam invites listeners into a bright blend of sounds and melodies, from the twangy '70s rock shuffle of "Take Hold of My Hand" (a Kid Rock co-write) to the swelling blend of piano, horns, strings and strummed guitars on the heartbreaking ballad, "It's Never Alright."
The record's magic comes from Yoakam's ever-present devotion to the classic Bakersfield sound of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard - an attribute that he merges here with heady influences of rock and soul. There's a live electric buzz to the production that ignites the honky-tonk rave up "Dim Lights, Thick Smoke," the slapped bass, drums and country-whooping So-Cal shuffle of the Beck co-produced "A Heart Like Mine" and the raw energy and thundering percussion of the playful title track.
Yoakam's voice is bright as he sings longingly on the rolling "Long Way to Go," but he turns tender and impassioned when he reprises the song with a simple piano melody at the album's close.
- Erik Ernst
Kix Brooks
New to This Town
Arista Nashville
Before the 2009 breakup of Brooks & Dunn, Louisiana native Kix Brooks and his partner, Ronnie Dunn, sold millions of albums, performed for packed arenas and won dozens of awards.
On "New to This Town," Brooks' sophomore solo album, he separates himself from the duo's slick, boot-scootin' sound and introduces fans to a untamed cowboy with a weakness for passionate women and a desire to forgo his wild ways for love.
The country melodies lean heavily on blues and roadhouse rock 'n' roll. Joe Walsh lends wailing slide guitar to the opening title track, and Brooks snarls his runaway appeal to a new love on "Moonshine Road." Fuzzy vocal effects are an unnecessary addition to the grinding "My Baby," but "In the Right Place" has the right mix of tenderness and devotion, and "Next to That Woman" is rollicking, catchy fun.

COLUMBIA, Mo. African-American mothers breast-feed their children at lower rates than Caucasian, Latina and Asian mothers. This difference often has been attributed to socio-demographic factors such as age, income, education and personal experience with breast-feeding. Now, a researcher at the University of Missouri has discovered that African-American college students are aware of the benefits of breast-feeding for infants, yet some still are hesitant about breast-feeding future children. Evidence revealed a lack of public acceptance toward breast-feeding may influence this hesitation.
"We need to start early with our breast-feeding education and exposure because women decide before they have children whether or not they will breast-feed," Urmeka Jefferson, assistant professor at the Sinclair School of Nursing, said. "We need to figure out how to encourage positive breast-feeding attitudes among young Black women and make them aware that breast-feeding is the normal, natural infant-feeding method."
Jefferson surveyed African-American college students about their attitudes and exposure to breast-feeding and their intent to breast-feed future children. She found the majority of students knew the benefits of breast-feeding and had some level of previous exposure, such as friends or parents who had breast-fed their infants. Despite their knowledge of the benefits of breast-feeding, many students felt formula-feeding was more convenient and a better choice if the mother worked outside the home. The overwhelming majority of students surveyed also expressed discomfort at the idea of breast-feeding in public places, such as a restaurant. Jefferson concluded that this discomfort may have less to do with racial or socio-demographic disparities and more to do with social stigmas against breast-feeding.
"Encouraging public acceptance of breast-feeding is important," Jefferson said. "Our American culture tends to add a sexual connotation to brea

According to a representative of the project that oversees the program, known as the Concurrent Versions System, the vulnerabilities include a flaw that could let an attacker take control of a CVS server from the Internet, putting the code repository's contents at risk. The flaws were discovered as part of an analysis of the program's code following the announcement last month of a similar set of issues.
The security flaws underscore the advice of CVS Project leaders, who say development teams should not be placing source-code repositories directly on the Internet. Rather, the repositories should be accessible only on private local networks or through VPNs (virtual private networks), said Derek Robert Price, one of three maintainers of the CVS Project and the project's release manager.
"We have always said that CVS is not secure," he said. "We have never made any quibbles about that."
Major open-source projects, including the Apache Foundation's Apache Web server and the GNOME and KDE Linux desktops, use the Concurrent Versions System to manage code under development. The software allows programmers to check in changed code, and it tracks the different versions of a program under development.
The major projects using the program were notified of the issues May 28. On Wednesday, the security holes were publicly announced.
The majority of the issues were found by two researchers who vetted the source code after the patch for previous flaws was released in May. One of the researchers, Stefan Esser, also found the previous security holes. The issue became even more serious when an online vandal apparently used the former vulnerabilities to gain access to the CVS Project's server and send an e-mail that said he had gained access. The project has retired that server and plans to analyze its files for evidence of the attack, Price said.
The project has already issued a software update to patch the issue, as has Linux seller SuSE. Other Linux distributions that include the software are expected to release updates this week.

AZ - Ajax 1-1 dammit!

BACK in February I wrote:
I originally said the same thing when they were using Vick as bait to get Kelly here. Now that Kelly is here, Lurie (not getting any younger) is probably expecting him to be at least competitive. If that's the case then Kelly needs results and has to go with who he thinks can get them for him.
Thing is, he has to install a system while getting those results, so a rookie QB trying to learn the NFL and a new system, is more than likely going to net him worse than 4-12. Keep in mind they also have to install a defense.
People keep negating the idea that Kelly is under pressure to produce. They keep acting like because they're willing to give him free pass this year, that Lurie feels the same about giving him 6 million dollar pass.
Fans may be feeling generous out of joy that Andy Reid is gone, but Lurie probably feels a lot different because he fired his friend. Kelly is here to do a job. If a friend can be canned, you better believe a stranger can.
by Birdflipper February 22, 2013
Later on July 12th, Chip Kelly himself would later confirm my statement, and silence any talk of tanking the 2013 season when he said: "My job is to win right now,". http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2013/07/12/sports/doc51df3ba07ae9b429809360.txt
Any team that goes 4-12 AND fires it's coach has to be rebuilt. That's obvious and generally the case. If the old program was so hot it wouldn't have been 4-12 with a fired coach. Usually. So what does it mean when the new coach is using the fired coach's blueprint?
While it's a fact that Andy Reid returned 8 of 11 of Ray Rhodes Offensive starters to the field, Reid also brought with him an innovative system AND he drafted a franchise QB to run that system. Kelly follows these numbers, but regardless of which QB he picks to run his system, none of them are franchise material. Then again Kelly's system is also not QB driven. A fact repeatedly lost on those focused on that one position.
But more on THAT, later.
Oh, one more thing: http://cat-bounce.com/ (You're welcome.)
You are right about Lurie. He is rapidly losing momentum. He cannot afford years of rebuilding. His ownership will be questioned with a failure here. The house of cards could come tumbling down.
I can't agree with any of that.
1)This franchise currently has no momentum, 2)Lurie could rebuild if he wanted to, he just doesn't want to wait, 3)There is no one who can legitimately question his (and Christina's) ownership, 4)We went 4-12 and fired the greatest coach in the franchises history. The tumbling is done.

Brewer's Arms
After we returned to Lewes from our hike at 8pm we went straight to the Brewer's Arms for a drink. Their food menu looked very tempting and very good value but, unfortunately, they had stopped serving at 6.45 and according to the barman none of the pubs nearby served food at this time. We needed to rest for a while anyway, so we stayed here for a drink.
The Brewer's Arms is a lovely pub, very relaxed and traditional with an excellent beer selection. They have many beers from the local Harvey's brewery and I tried two of these, a Harvey's Best Bitter and a Gateshead Gold. I enjoyed both very much, especially the Gateshead Gold. Ruth had a pint of Kent traditional cider. Very nice too, though she only found out after that it was 8%.
All Saints Arts Centre: David Ford In Lewes
All Saints Arts Centre (a former church) in Lewes was the venue for a two night charity gig "Milk and Cookies" by David Ford. They hold lots of other events there, music, theatre and cinema etc.
David Ford is a local lad, has a fabulous voice and his musical talent is astounding. He is supported by an equally (well... almost!) band. The show was funny, varied and exciting - I was laughing at the "Pick a number from the song book" where the audience called out a page number at random and David attempted (VERY well I might say) to play it unrehearsed and often not being familiar at all with the song. I cried at Davids version of Sinead O'Connors "Nothing Compares To You" on the massive old church organ with his back to the audience, it was THE most moving thing I have ever experienced at a gig. Go and see him if you get the opportunity - one of the great lesser known talents of the current singer/songwriter genre.
Dress Code: Warm - old churches are chilly.
Lansdown Arms: Pub!
The Lansdown Arms is where I spent most of my evenings when I was in Lewes! It was a pretty nice place with friendly locals!! Lot's of local Atmosphere! And many pints of Beer!

I realize that there are talent issues on the defense. But I also wonder if our coaching on the defensive side of the ball has prevented people from developing.
So that we're clear, I fault TD for missing on Jerry and for bringing in Edwards. In both cases, I believe that we could have avoided the situation.
Now that we have that out of the way... I fault Smith for not getting more out of Edwards. When it comes down to it, Edwards produced before he got here. Once he was here he turned into the invisible man. A lot of that is on Edwards, but I think that it's safe to assume that some of that is on our coaching staff as well.
Biermann has shown flashes as well, but has never taken the next step. I mean, a LOT of people predicted him to have a breakout year a couple of years ago. It just never materialized.
Spoon looked like he was poised to be the best OLB in the NFL, but he was, "ok," this year. Spoon has great field awareness/vision. He is capable of being a heck of a baller. However, he seemingly gets disinterested in the game after a while.
Moore and Decoud look like they could be great, but they're inconsistent as hell.
And yes, what the heck happened to Sidbury? I'm not for a second going to claim that Sidbury is the next Abraham, but I'm also befuddled as to why he's not seeing the field AT ALL. He has certainly flashed potential when given the opportunity. So what gives?
Perhaps any one of these things, taken on their own, could be passed off as a player with a poor attitude/work ethic. When the whole team exhibits similar inconsistency issues, I'm thinking the problem runs a bit deeper. Even though Nolan came up with the scheme and called the defensive plays, it's still Smith's team. Under Smith, we have heard players consistently speak the word, "Complacent." That's really not a good word. And when I hear players use those kinds of words, my first thought is, "the coach lost them."
And then you hear about Mike Smith, the disciplinarian. On Monday, Mike gets out his list and he makes all of the players who got penalties stand up in front of the team and apologize. OMFG. What is this, pee wee league? It's one thing to hold people accountable. It's another to treat grown men like kindergarten kids. No wonder the coach is losing these guys.
Sorry, now I'm just ranting. I'm a bit tired of hearing about that every week and seeing Mike Smith with his little notepad. I sure as hell wouldn't want to play for someone like that. Little old ladies do that kind of crap. "I'm writing your name down." Hey Mike, they pay people to record the game... They have people who can tell you who got penalized, what they got penalized for, etc. Put your stupid notepad away and stop being an old lady.
Rant over. I await my cremation.

fun gus wrote:fun gus wrote:who is blaming the QB, Pudge? Who is blaming the OFFENSE? Clearly, the blame lies in the DEFENSE.
QUIT PLAYING THE CHANGE THE GOALPOSTS GAME. were talking about the Falcon's DEFENSE. Were 5 seasons, two coordinators, and how many moves to 'improve' it now? We suck in the 2nd half of any playoff games, 4 times.. Stat's be damned. Your argument, as I see it, is John HB didn't 'f*ck up' what he inheirited when he took over the Ravens. Really?
I do not buy the 'were not good enough' screed. Sorry, Pudge, no can do.
So the reason our D regularly shuts down in the 2nd half is because 'they are just not that good'? And coaching has nothing to do with this? I'll think about it, but I am not sure I can buy into that.
That is your argument. The defense can't get 2nd half stops because they have "deficient" coaching? My point is that if that is the case, then it would apply to other teams? So then the primary reason why the Ravens get stops is because they've had superior coaching? Wouldn't that also mean that Belichick has become a lesser coach in the past 4 years because of how bad the Patriots defense has been the past few years?
The last time the Pats had a Top 10 defense was in 2009. Interesting that Richard Seymour, Tedy Bruschi, and Mike Vrabel all left after 2008. '09 would mark the last years that Ty Warren, and the last time they would get good production from 2 corners in Shawn Springs and Leigh Bodden.
The reason why the Patriots can't get stops against the 2011 & 2012 Ravens, as well as getting carved up by the Jets in 2010 playoffs must because of Belichick's deficient coaching right?
No, you probably don't believe that. The reason why the Patriots defense has struggled is because they just don't have the talent like they used to.
Those Patriot defense are exactly the same as teh Falcons. They always rank well in scoring defense because they don't give up a ton of points. They also generate a bunch of turnovers, as they've ranked in the Top 3 in takeaways the past 3 years. But they give yards like no one's business, ranking no better than 25th in total defense. Sound familiar?
The problem for the Patriots defense is they get carved up in the secondary. It isn't about their coaching, it's about their talent. On defense, it's mostly about talent. On offense, sure it's about coaching. You don't need to be the most talented, can you succeed by being more innovative than the other teams. As we've seen in the college game, and now it's filtering up to the pros with Chip Kelly, the pistol, the speed no-huddle, etc.
The rules are such that all the benefits go to the offense. I'm telling you anything you already don't know. But how this is reflected in the game itself, is that the only way to counter on defense is with talent. Sure, you can be Dick LeBeau or Rex Ryan or whomever and be a great defensive coach. As we've seen with people like Dom Capers, Wade Philips, and yes Mike Nolan in recent years. Coaching matters, but the main thing with defense comes down to talent. The only way to get ahead of the next innovation on offense is to just have players that are simply good enough to adapt. You need athletes. You need players like Von Miller and J.J. Watt and Justin Smith and Darrelle Revis that can just take over games.
It's having guys like Haloti Ngata who is unblockable one on one. It's about Terrell Suggs, who has been one of the 5 or 6 best pass rushers over the past 5 or 6 years. It's about having a leader like Ray Lewis manning the middle. Corners like Chris McAlister and Lardarius Webb who was the Brent Grimes of slot corners in 2011, it's about Ed Reed. Now with the Ravens, they have benefited similar to the Steelers is that when you're already good it's easier to continue to build off that. But with the Falcons you're building essentially from scratch. It takes time.
Corey Peters was projected by most to be a 5th round pick because he didn't possess exceptional quickness, power, or anything to suggest he'd be a top pass rusher or run stopper. He could be capable, but not a dominant player. We drafted him in the 3rd round. And while Peters has to some degree lived up to his draft status, he's not a dominant player. Nearly every team in the league has a defensive tackle as good as Corey Peters on their roster. The reason why I've never been enamored with Corey Peters, when many have fellated him earlier in his career is that he's not very quick off the ball. Lawrence Sidbury was a 4th round pick, but he was a raw speed rusher that dominated non-NFL talent in the FCS. Maybe he could develop, but people shouldn't act like it's some tragedy that he didn't develop. Teams use mid-round picks on players like Sidbury all the time and they don't develop. As it has been noted time and time again, there are very few impact pass rushers that aren't Top 15 picks. That doesn't mean that Jared Allen or Trent Cole don't come along from time to time, hell even a Matt Shaughnessy, but you shouldn't be surprised if all you wind up with is the next Arthur Moats or Austen Lane.
Stephen Nicholas struggles in coverage because he doesn't have good hips, and he really struggles to turn and run. So any competent TE (and we saw many this year) are going to beat him in coverage. Mike Peterson can't run more than 5 yards anymore. Akeem Dent you can't trust because he's still green, and even then he was a player that many people saw as just a 5th-7th round talent that we took in Round 3. Kroy has a good motor, but he's not that quick off the ball nor does have the sort of size, strength, and frame to use power. Paul Kruger is a better athlete and is also 6-4 and has the strength at 270 pounds because it was not that long ago that he was a 275-pound power DE in their 3-man front. He's having success because at least in terms of talent he approaches the Patrick Kerney mold.
Dunta Robinson gets beat all the time in coverage because he has sloppy technique, footwork, and awareness. He like a large number of corners have thrived solely off their superior athleticism, without developing the finer points of playing position. This is why players like him and DeAngelo Hall lose it at age 30, while others like Champ Bailey, Charles Woodson, and yes I believe Brent Grimes had he not torn his Achilles can remain productive up to age 33, 34, or beyond. Yes, all those players are "plus" athletes of course, but they also develop technique and stuff. Grimes and Samuel get beat almost as much as Robinson does, but they make up for it with ball skills. Robinson is just like Chris Houston was, a good athlete. And in this day and age with the offense being where it is, if you can't break up as many passes as third down completions given up, you are a liability.
Thomas DeCoud is a solid safety, but he's nothing special in the talent department. He gets by because he's fast, not physical. He's a 190-pound safety that struggles to hit and tackle. He can run in a straight line as good as anybody on this roster but if he takes a wrong angle or the ballcarrier can square his shoulders, he's not going to be a reliable tackler. And again, he's straight-line which is why Cal moved him from corner to safety after his freshman. It's why he gets beat when he's 1 on 1 against any competent NFL wideout or tight end. Moore hits like a mac truck but he too has stiff hips and can't match up on an island in coverage.
Neither of these guys are going to be Earl Thomas or Ed Reed, both Top 25 picks BTW.
Ray Edwards wasn't any good. He was successful in Minnesota because of players like Kevin Williams and Jared Allen being able to draw double teams which allowed him to go on an island 1 on 1 against inferior right tackles. He was a one-note speed rusher that didn't have enough speed to beat quality left tackles, but could work over the J'Marcus Webbs and Marc Colombos of the league. Then he comes to Atlanta, and instead of rehabbing in the off-season, he takes up boxing out of spite for the Vikings. And he's more interested in the "fruits" of being a football player rather than working on his craft. He's the type of player that is playing for a big contract, as opposed to because he loves the game. He never fit in the Falcons locker room.
Belichick went through the same basic thing with Adalius Thomas in New England. Thomas was great in Baltimore, but left and just never really bought into the Patriot Way. He was miscast in that locker room, and they dumped him after 2 years just like we did with Edwards.
Look, I can go through the roster backwards and forwards and break it down for you fun gus and RobertAP. Again, I'm not saying coaching has nothing to do with it. I'm just saying that your conclusion that since we haven't seen improved results the past 5 years must mean that coaching is the problem is not accurate.
Look, going back to the Patriots, it's not a coincidence that guys like Seymour, Warren, Wilfork, Ty Law, Ted Johnson, Willie McGinest, etc. are 1st and 2nd round picks and with middle round guys like Harrison, Samuel, Bruschi, etc. they formed what was for many years.
How many 1st & 2nd round picks have the Falcons invested in their defense? 4? Jerry, Moore, Spoon, and Lofton. 3 of them turned into solid to good players. You can't draft 4 guys over 3 years and think that's going to fix the problem. Not unless you really hit it out of the park with those 3 guys.
Look, and I'm not going to act like this is just a TD problem. It goes back to McKay with whiffs on Jimmy Williams, Jamaal Anderson, Chris Houston. Unfortunately for the Falcons even on occasions when they do get a good return on their investment (D Hall & Lofton), they only play 4 years with us and move on.
It's not going to happen over night. It takes time. This is what I was complaining about TD before in thinking that he only has to build for 3 years and then can sell the farm on 1 player. No, this takes much longer than that. You look at what McKay did in TB, Parcells/Belichick did in NE, and Polian in IND where they took historically bad teams, and it took them 9 years from their arrivals to win those teams won their first Super Bowls.
It's not something that anybody wants to hear. If this thing is going to get solved, and not just the defense, but the entire team, it's going to take several years of good drafting before we are where Baltimore is.

Re: most damning statement of all
Pudge's post is an early contender for post of the year. Nice gem with the Edwards picture and being spot on about everything. In terms of the defensive tackle situation, I want Jerry cut and everyone to stay. They should add a defensive tackle to challenge Peters for a starting role. Babineaux is set as a starter and Walker should come back to continue to be a solid backup. I wasn't aware of how shaky the defensive tackle situation is, but it's pretty shaky. This is a big year for Peters to step up.
I'm a Devin Hester guy.

Homework assignments in a new country can be challenging. Mr O Jnr 1 is nearly 14. As any parent knows, this is an age where sex probably features overly prominently in a young man's thoughts, let alone doing homework assignments on related topics! He comes from a culture where issues such as pregnancy, sex, masturbation and contraception are not openly discussed. This week he had an assignment and was able to choose from the topics as listed in the Health Workbook (see below).
Both boys started off finding the whole thing rather hilarious. I think it was more embarrassment than hilarity, to be honest. Embarrassment at suddenly talking openly about such things. I'm not the sort that finds such discussions at all embarrassing, which is probably a good thing!
Mr O Jnr 1 chose pregnancy as his topic! We started on Sunday. Research is still a skill the younger three are working on developing. This is a topic that needed lots of research as I discovered the level of knowledge was a bit elementary! The boys knew the mechanics of sex and that babies can result, but they didn't seem to know much of the detail. We spend Sunday looking at images depicting the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries and explaining how the whole system works. We looked at images of babies in utero at various stages of development. We discussed twins and how they come to be. We talked about sperm looking rather like small tadpoles and found pictures of real ones.
The task was to develop a flyer for distribution to teenagers discussing the chosen topic. Tonight we were
finalising working on the development of the flyer. In some respects this was also a marketing assignment. Mr O Jnr 1 was writing the technical details: I asked him to think of his audience – were his words going to hold the attention of the target audience? He agreed probably not: we needed to ramp it up a bit, give it a bit of marketing flair. Now, I don't have a marketing bone in my body, but at least I hope I managed to help take the science out of it and scare the living daylights out of any horny teenagers!
We even looked at the legal implications and saying "it wasn't me" just doesn't wash in these days of DNA testing! A lot of expenses are involved in rearing a child. Do you want to save for a new car or buy nappies and baby food? Buy school uniforms? Medical expenses?
He was having difficulty putting some of the facts into English and would get the embarrassed giggles when I tried to draw words out of him. The ensuing conversation went along these lines.
Mr O Jnr 1, would you feel embarrassed talking about death?
Why not?
Because it happens to everyone.
So does being born! It is not more embarrassing than death, it is just a fact of life! How do you think you got here? Life starts with conception and ends with death: two inescapable facts of life.
We managed to decide on some catchy headings and describe the mechanics of conception. Trying to explain that withdrawal is a most unreliable method of protection was interesting.
What if only a little bit gets out?
There are millions of the little buggers, one will get there!
What if they can't?
Do you want to think your sperm can't swim properly?
Of course not.
Well then, count on one of the little buggers making it!
They did seem to find my calling sperm "little buggers" quite amusing!
I learnt something too. From my youth I remember the diaphragm as a contraceptive device – I'd not caught up with female condoms. Sure enough, Google to the rescue and I now know about female condoms. Interesting looking devices, I'm not entirely sure I'd like to be using one, but better safe than sorry!
We found a list of teenage myths to include. I keep telling the children ignorance is the biggest problem when it comes to sex and some of these myths certainly prove it!
Without proper education, according to various websites, young people still believe:
- You can't get pregnant standing up
- You can't get pregnant from sex during your period
- You can't get pregnant if the man withdraws before orgasm
- You can't get pregnant if it is your first time
- You can't get pregnant if you don't kiss
and a host of other myths. So we scotched a lot of those (as many as I could think of)!
To conclude, we had a chat about research skills, how long it takes to do an assignment well and how unless it is the best one can do, it isn't good enough! I think Mr O Jnr 1 is very glad it is finished and is now suitably aware of the responsibilities relating to the actual topic!
