Latin Roots: The Evolution Of Flamenco
Originally published on Wed September 25, 2013 3:40 pm
Judy Cantor-Navas, managing editor of Billboard En Español, joins Latin Roots to discuss the mysterious world of flamenco music. It's hard to pinpoint exactly where the style originated; though known for its close ties to Spain, it's suggested that the roots of flamenco actually begin in India. Whatever its origins may be, however, it's a style dominated by strong performers.
Singer Cameron de la Isla revitalized the genre 20 years ago; Cantor-Navas even describes him as flamenco's Bob Marley. With accompaniment by guitarist Paco de Lucia, his song "Como El Agua" is a perfect example of the classic Spanish sound. Though flamenco has evolved since, it continues to flourish in new forms. Spanish singer Estrella Morente brings a rock element to the genre in her song "Como La Corriente."
Cantor-Navas suggests listeners take a deeper dive into flamenco, and recommends taking the time to listen to older and newer forms alike.
Listen to Judy Cantor-Navas' flamenco playlist on Rdio.

I am against the proposal to remove trees along I-26.
My experience has helped guide me on this issue: I have 2 ½ years with the South Carolina Department of Transportation; 20 years contract administration and construction with the U.S. Government; and 27 years of site work construction as a small business owner.
On March 21 I had the opportunity, along with other elected officials, to discuss this issue with Secretary of Transportation Robert Onge Jr. Commissioner Jim Rozier, the DOT traffic engineer, was also present, as were federal highway administrative officials.
After a presentation to justify their intent to remove trees and install cable barriers, we were given an opportunity to ask questions.
I was against this proposal before the presentation and did not hear anything during it to sway my position. Following are some of the reasons why:
• SCDOT refers to this activity as mere tree removal, but in actuality, it would be more of a clearing and grubbing operation. The stumps would also have to be removed to accommodate the median mowing. This would also require the closure of the inside lanes during this activity. Lane closures in interstate highways are only allowed at night, thus driving the costs up.
• I asked why there were more accidents toward the median and not the right side of the highway. Per the design of highways, the vehicle should be just as apt to go off the right side as the left, and there are plenty of trees on the right side that are not under scrutiny.
• We were presented a chart depicting distractions, speeding, driving under the influence and driving too fast for conditions as the major cause of accidents. These are all driver errors and the removal of the trees will not change this fact at all.
The obvious question is why are there are not more police officers patrolling the stretch between I-95 and exit 199 at Summerville. I believe a blue light is still the best deterrent to speeding.
My recommendation is two officers assigned to eight-hour shifts each for three months, and let's see if serious or deadly accidents are significantly reduced.
Their response was that the SCDOT does not enforce traffic laws; this is a Highway Patrol function. It's unacceptable that two state agencies not communicate to try and minimize driver error on our interstate highways.
I furnished information stating that more pedestrians are killed each year on South Carolina secondary roads than deaths on our interstates. About 85 percent of all crashes do not occur on interstates.
Speeding and the lack of wearing seatbelts are still the major cause of highway deaths.
A SCDOT report for the period July 1, 2012 listed highway 402 in Berkeley County with the second most severe safety needs statewide. The panel didn't appear to be aware of this report when furnished the information.
In closing, let me say that I appreciated the time allowed for this discussion. I did learn that the $5 million is a federal highway safety grant that can't be used for anything else. I asked the officials to at least consider selective clearing, leaving the larger oak trees. They didn't appear too receptive to that idea. It was stated that the project would not begin for about a year giving opponents time to voice their concerns.
I respectfully request SCDOT to reconsider their position and not have another project in Berkeley County like the Oakley Road at US 52 intersection improvements. Elected officials are expected to know the reasons and justifications for projects like these; however, I can't explain to anyone the reasoning for either of the two.

This is why I hate lawyersDecember 18th, 2011
SSRI's or Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor's are used as anti-depressant and anti-anxiety drugs. They're often regarded as about the safest drugs we have, since it's almost impossible to overdose on them and the negative long term health effects seem to be negligible. However, there has been some concern expressed about their safety during pregnancy.
A number of studies have been conducted on the use of various SSRI drugs during various stages of pregnancy and breast feeding. The majority of the studies done have not found any harmful effects of the use of SSRI's on developing fetuses or infants who breastfeed. While these drugs do pass through the placenta, the concentration of exposure is at least two thirds less for the developing fetus than for the mother.
However, one study, done in 2007, did find a slight increase in a few birth defects in mothers who received relatively high doses of certain SSRI medications during the first trimester of their pregnancy. The study did not find any significant increase in overall odds of most birth defects, but did find an increase in a few birth defects, such as certain cardiac defects. Still, the total risk remains tiny with or without SSRI's, and while the increase was greater than the statistical error of the study, confounding factors cannot be ruled out, such as the possibility that depressed mothers might have less healthy babies for a variety of reasons.
You can read the entire study here.
The reception of the study in the medical community was generally more one of reassurance than concern. While it indicated that there was at least a possibility that a few narrow birth defects might possibly be associated with SSRI's, the overall risk is very low. Interestingly, the study did not find that these risks increased for all types of SSRI drugs. Zoloft and Paxil did appear to produce slight increases in some birth defects, but Prozac, Lexapro and other antidepressants did not produce any detectable increase in any birth defects.
Given that the risks are not completely proven and appear to be extremely low, the Mayo Clinic says the following about the use of antidepressants during pregnancy:
Overall, the risk of birth defects and other problems for babies of mothers who take antidepressants during pregnancy is low. Still, few medications have been proved safe without question during pregnancy and some types of antidepressants have been associated with health problems in babies.
It should also be noted that these slight increases in risk have been speculated about since before the 2007 study, and most women who received the drugs during pregnancy would have been told (or should have been told) by their doctor that the possibility existed that there could be a small increase in some birth defects.
Now enter the lawyers. Lets say, you happen to have had a child with a common and minor birth defect, like a cleft lip or a club foot, both of which are fairly common and correctable. You might have just put your child's foot in a brace or taken them for minor plastic surgery and then thought nothing of it. Well, if you happen to have been taking an anti-depressent, there are lawyers out there who want to be sure you don't just go on with your life without giving them a crack at the drug companies. And they're paying for advertising to make sure you know.
These are just two of the many ads now being run by law firms hoping to get a cut of a settlement.
Also, to be clear: Most of the conditions listed in the above ad have never been associated with Paxil or Zoloft, and it's pure speculation that they would have any effect on those conditions simply because they MAY have effects on other conditions. Also, most of the drugs listed have, despite extensive study, never been linked to ANY birth defect. They are in the same class as the drugs Paxil and Zoloft, but it is pure speculation to think that because they have a similar mechanism of action that they MIGHT have an effect, even despite the fact that all studies to date have shown they do not and that the drugs that they are related to have not been linked to the conditions listed.
Worse still, there are several ads now running (sorry I could not find a video) that are saying the same thing about autistic children, despite there being not a shred of evidence that SSRI's during pregnancy would have an impact on the probability of a child developing autism. It seems to be some kind of assumption that if some do possibly increase the risk of some birth defects then they must all cause autism.
Go figure…
Sorry, to say "I hate lawyers" is a rather rash and harsh statement, but this stuff really makes me sick.

What is non-repro blue, and why is it important to artists, illustrators, and designers? This particular shade of blue is not picked up by copy machines, which allows users to freely sketch ideas without having to worry about erasing those lines before copying or printing their work.
Light blue pencil lead is an artist favorite for use in drafting and mechanical pencils. It is perfect for brainstorming, and won't show up when it is time to move the process forward. For those who prefer ink, a micro tip pen with light blue ink performs the task as well.

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries Logic Fails For Season 4, Episode 7: "My Brother's Keeper"
The Vampire Diaries is a show where witches can bring people back from the dead, vampires kiss humans instead of ripping their throats out, and werewolves have silky smooth chests when they haven't transformed. And we accept all of this without blinking an eye. Yet it's the little things that make us scoff and say, "That would never happen." Check out the biggest logic fails from Season 4, Episode 7, "My Brother's Keeper."
Klaus lets Stefan off the hook.
For some reason we still don't get, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) didn't want anyone knowing about the vampire cure. Fine. He threatened Stefan (Paul Wesley) with mass murder should the younger Salvatore let the secret slip out. Suddenly, everyone and their brother — such as Damon (Ian Somerhalder) — knows and Klaus just shrugs it off with a sort of half-nelson, bro hug moment? Maybe it's just because Klaus is in luvre.
Miss Mystic Falls is just letting anyone win now.
A lot of people are thinking Professor Shane (David Alpay) and the rest of the (hopefully less creepy) judges handed April (Grace Phipps) the crown because her father had just died. And while the sympathy vote is a nice idea, it certainly didn't earn Elena (Nina Dobrev) the crown the year before. Those other girls must be fuming. They've been slaving away on committees and doing community service and suddenly this girl who's been in town for a week (roughly?) and keeps asking where Rebekah (Claire Holt) wins Miss Mystic Falls? Shenanigans.
There are murderers in Mystic Falls (who aren't vampires, we mean)?
OK, a lot of people go missing due to animal attacks, but Mystic Falls has a normal, human serial killer and no one knows about it? Shouldn't his picture be splashed on every newspaper and shouldn't they have formed a new Town Council to deal with the problem? And since when is non-Ripper Stefan this OK with killing humans?
House swap
Yeah, we get it. Damon and Elena had to end up in front of a roaring fire with bourbon pre-coitus. Very picturesque. But wasn't there a better way to get her there than having Elena move into the Salvatores? That means Stefan had to move out. No, no, no. Just have Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) move in with Matt (Zach Roerig), so they can still have bromantic sleepovers. See? It's simple. One person moves instead of three.
Frustrated by his breakup with Elena, Stefan decides to head to the woods for some pushups. He has super strength. How many of those does he have to do before he even breaks a sweat? Personally, we think he should've taken up Damon on his offer of drunken debauchery. Now that's how you deal with a breakup.

Peterborough shock Cardiff; Wolves and Wednesday triumph
Leaders Cardiff suffered a shock defeat at relegation-threatened Peterborough as Wolves and Sheffield Wednesday also claimed vital victories over Middlesbrough and Barnsley, respectively, in their battle against the drop.
Hull City closed the gap at the summit by defeating Huddersfield, Ipswich eased their fears of the drop with a comprehensive success over Leeds, Brighton ended Nottingham Forest's six-game winning streak at the City Ground and Charlton produced a stirring comeback to defeat Bolton at The Valley.

Ipswich 3 Leeds 0
Nottm Forest 2 Brighton 2
Peterborough 2 Cardiff 1
Sheff Wed 2 Barnsley 1
Wolves 3 Middlesbrough 2
Huddersfield 0 Hull City 1
Grant McCann scored two penalties in quick succession as Peterborough scrambled out of the bottom three with a 2-1 victory over Cardiff at London Road, cancelling out Aron Gunnarsson's opener in the 72nd minute and hitting the winner from 12 yards seven minutes later.
Hull City are now just four points adrift of Cardiff following their 1-0 success away to Huddersfield Town in the Championship's evening kick-off, with George Boyd scoring the only goal of the game in the 46th minute, although they have played a match more.
Wolves remain in the relegation places, but only on goals scored, after edging a five-goal thriller with Middlesbrough at Molineux, with the home side seeing the lead slip away twice before Kevin Doyle's 70th minute header settled the contest.
Sheffield Wednesday edged away from the bottom three and dumped Yorkshire rivals Barnsley into the drop zone with a priceless 2-1 success at Hillsborough as Gary Madine and Reda Johnson struck in the second period, with Lewis Buxton's late red card and Kelvin Etuhu's reply setting up a tense finale.
Ipswich took full advantage of a first-half red card for Leeds defender Tom Lees as a brace either side of the interval from David McGoldrick and substitute Jay Emmanuel-Thomas' third sent the Tractor Boys up to the 49-point mark.
Nottingham Forest twice came from behind to take a point at home to Brighton as their recent winning streak was ended in a 2-2 draw with their play-off rivals, with Henri Lansbury levelling for the home side in the closing moments.
Charlton hit back from 2-0 down to defeat Bolton 3-2 with the visitors made to pay after the second-half dismissal of Sam Ricketts as Dorian Dervite levelled moments after he saw red before Yann Kermorgant hit the winner from the penalty spot in the 63rd minute.

So, I had one of the worst migraines of my life yesterday. Not pain-wise.. that went away with my normal coping methods (mostly lying down with a wet washcloth over my eyes). No, instead the migraine aggravated my stomach so badly that nothing stayed down, even water. Ended up throwing up 5 times. Called the OB, who suggested benedryl to help, which was a new one on me. It worked to get my stomach settled down so I could at least take my labetalol that evening, and I zonked right out, which probably helped, too.
So.. if you're in the high risk pool for pre-eclampsia (as most of us are), and you also suffer migraines, how much do you worry about the migraines while pregnant? So many of the symptoms are similar. How do you tell if it's "just" a migraine, or if it's a sign of worse things? Goodness knows, it's hard to keep a clear head when in the middle of one.
I can blame this migraine on work stress, at least. I was very stressed on Friday. Might have to have a nice talk with my doctors next appointment. I paid for short-term disability in my benefits.. I might need it to get through this pregnancy.

For each of the more than 30 years they've been on the scene, Audix has been all about one thing: creating high-end, precision-engineered pro audio equipment that sets the bar high on build quality and performance. With their impressive range of microphones as well as several speaker options, Audix goes to every length to help you get the most impressive results possible whether it's on stage or in the studio. One of the key differences that set Audix apart is their in-house research department, always tinkering on the next improvement or added feature. The process begins on the ground level, listening to actual musicians who use their product for honest feedback. With artists like Alanis Morissette, Willie Nelson and Blink 182 on the list of Audix users, there's no doubt that they've gotten some excellent responses, and it shows in the quality of their gear.
Audix makes a few speakers, and they're definitely solid choices. The products that really put them on the map, however, are their microphones. Drummers, for example, can expect nothing short of excellence from a mic like the F2 Drum Microphone. Its compact, lightweight design makes it child's play to mount and position. Want something for the entire kit? Go all-out with the DP Elite 8 or any of Audix's other full drum microphone bundles.

Phoenix police identify office complex shooting suspect
PHOENIX -- Phoenix police have identified a man who is suspected of killing one and injuring five at a Phoenix office complex on Wednesday.
Arthur Douglas Harmon, 70, is believed to have opened fire at the complex at 7310 N. 16th St. about 10:30 a.m.
Police converged on a home near 28th Street and Acoma Drive about two hours after the shooting. Public records show the home is owned by an Arthur Douglas Harmon.
According to court documents, Harmon was scheduled to go to a law office in the same building where the shooting took place for a settlement conference in a lawsuit he filed last April against Scottsdale-based Fusion Contact Centers LLC.
The company had hired him to refurbish office cubicles at two call centers in California, but a contract dispute arose.
An office building was also placed on lockdown after the shooting because one of its attorneys was a victim.
According to Sgt. Tommy Thompson of the Phoenix Police Department, Harmon used a Springfield 1911 .45 caliber pistol, a Ruger .22 caliber pistol and a 1970's vintage Colt AR15 rifle in the shooting.

North Phuket : Go Go Bars
A popular draw for tourists and some expats, Go Go bars in Phuket are located mostly on or near Soi Bangla Road. What separates them from each other is the size of the venue, number of go go dancers, drink prices and type of entertainment.
Though not as numerous as in Pattaya or Bangkok the go go bars in Phuket can be an eye-opening experience for the first time visitor. Some charge an entrance fee and drinks usually start at 120 baht. Some offer choreographed stage shows while others only have skimpily bikini clad women pole dancing. Tipping is always appreciated.
Most go go bars open around 9:00pm and stay open late.

Brad Congleton is not just an average CPA; he is "the CPA on 30A."
And he is celebrating 10 years under that title, which he has earned due to his loyal clients.
"I just want to thank everyone for their support," said Congleton, adding that his constant customers helped propel his business toward the success that it is today. "I want to thank everybody, all of my clients, future and past."
On Oct. 1, Congleton marked 10 years serving the South Walton area from his headquarters in Uptown Grayton Plaza.
"It's like a small town post office," said Congleton of the hustle and bustle. "Everybody who comes here knows each other. It's really old school."
Clients are embodied with that same relaxed feeling when they walk into Congleton's office, situated above Little Italy Restaurant. The office is comfortable with a mix of antique and modern furniture that makes it feel like a family living room. "I have found that people hate doing taxes and find it very stressful. I try to instill a feeling of calm and try to de-stress people when doing their tax returns," Congleton emphasizes.
"It's very casual," said Congleton, adding the office atmosphere is just mirroring the area. "I like it here, it's a really relaxed place to live."
In the past decade, Congleton has watched the area emerge as a tourist-drawing travel destination from its less-developed state.
"It's grown with me," he said, recalling the days before Walmart and when the closest grocery store was 15 miles west.
Congleton has been living in South Walton since before he brought his business to 30A, but he has been a local Northwest Florida resident for more than 30 years. He moved to the area with his parents, Roger and Sandra, when he was in high school. Aside from a few jaunts in his early adult years, he has not left the area since.
Congleton credits his parents with not only bringing him "home" but also for helping lay a foundation for his success.
"I wouldn't be who I am right now if it wasn't for them," the 1981 Choctaw High grad said.
After high school, Congleton attended the University of West Florida and graduated with an accounting degree in 1991. He then worked in the title insurance industry at Acquire Corporation in Destin. After a few years there, Congleton made good on a goal he had set for himself in 1989.
"… to have my own CPA firm," said Congleton, who received his CPA certification in 2000. Shortly thereafter, he came to 30A, and the rest is history.
Congleton's client base has grown with the area, and between his new and old customers, Congleton stays busy throughout the year, especially during tax season.
He said he spends between 11 to 12 hours working per day during the weeks leading up to the tax deadlines. Though he prepares both corporate and personal tax returns, Congleton offers much more than that. The operation provides a wide range of services to local clients that include payroll, business accounting, financial statement preparation, homeowners' association accounting, estate and retirement planning, and corporation and limited liability company formation.
Congleton says these services allow his clients to regain their free time.
"If you work during the day and then at night you have to do accounting for your business, then you need to ask yourself: 'how much time do you spend doing that?' " said Congleton. "Your free time … it's very valuable."
"You take care of running the business and I'll take care of how much you are making and the tax planning," Congleton said he tells clients. "You can call me any time, I don't have any qualms about answering calls after hours."
Because in the end, it's all about those who have through the years helped him not just persevere in business, but thrive.
"We've had an oil spill, hurricanes, and a fire … and I'm still the CPA on 30A," said Congleton. "It's all about the clients to me … I've grown fond of these people."

Friday, July 4, 2014
After having helped eight startups move their business ideas to reality this year, The Harbor Accelerator is accepting applications for its second 14-week business accelerator program. The new deadline for applications is July 10. Designed with the entrepreneur in mind, this free program is about building scale-able businesses for the Charleston region.
Businesses are fully immersed in an accelerator program that is all about executing a plan. Each startup is given access to resources, local talent and the ability to test the market quickly and become viable.
Successful startups from the inaugural program include Snapcastr, a free mobile app that transfers audience pictures and comments to a big screen during an event; Tarian Orthotics, which developed a shoulder brace to lower the risk of dislocations in individuals looking to return to high-impact activities post-injury; and Eatabit.com, which allows online order takers to print orders to purpose-built cellular printers placed directly inside the restaurant.
The Harbor Accelerator program introduces high-impact business concepts during an intense curriculum led by mentor entrepreneurs, while gleaning invaluable insights from proven business leaders. The team of mentors includes a list of entrepreneurial heavyweights such as Patrick Bryant, the lead mentor of the Accelerator, Eric Bowman of Sparc, Chad Walldorf of Sticky Fingers, Bobby Collins of PURE, Steve Parker Jr. of Levelwing, Christine Osborne of Wonder Works and many more.
These mentors will walk side by side with the selected businesses to keep them focused on the critical elements needed to grow their business.
"The first cohort of The Harbor Accelerator was a tremendous success. All eight companies grew throughout the 14 weeks and are moving their ventures forward today," said John Osborne, co-founder and director of The Harbor Entrepreneur Center. "During the program, Snapcastr got a deal with College of Charleston, Eatabit inked a contract with Joe Riley Stadium, and Tarian put their brace on a Stingrays player.
"The community support is clearly there for The Harbor Accelerator program and is increasing daily," he added. "New proven entrepreneur mentors, additional specialty experts and increased resources are all signing up to support Cohort 2."
Interested businesses should apply online at www.harborec.com by July 10. Only eight will be selected for the program set to begin July 21. Participants will work out of Biz Inc., a business incubator facility run by the Town of Mount Pleasant.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Despite recording 70 points and managing a season-high of 84 digs, the Chattanooga Mocs volleyball team fell 3-2 Saturday night at Maclellan Gym to the Elon Phoenix. The 70-point effort is the second largest scoring total on the season for UTC with the most (81) coming against UAB Sept. 17 in Chattanooga.
"Our team fought hard and did a good job of pushing it to five sets," Head Coach Travis Filar said. "Our inconsistency is what held us back tonight, what held us back Friday and what has been our downfall all season. If we can improve there, we will be where we want to be."
The match looked very promising to Mocs fans as UTC jumped out to a 2-0 lead before the intermission. With identical scores of 25-22 in the first and second sets, the Chattanooga offense appeared unstoppable. The Mocs hit .400 in each of the first sets, totaling a match-high 16 kills in the first set and 10 in the second. Nearly flawless on attacks, Filar's squad committed just two errors in the first half.
Junior Kasey Talley (Boiling Springs, S.C.) led the offensive attack with 12 kills, a season-high for the middle blocker and her first double-digit scoring effort of the year, and five blocks. Sophomore Lauren Gainer (Boca Raton, Fla.) connected for nine kills while also garnering five blocks.
Sophomore Catherine Chason (Alpharetta, Ga.) was one of five Mocs to record double-digit digs (10) while the defensive specialist pulled off a double-double with 22 assists to lead the team. Junior Melissa Green (Boca Raton, Fla.) led the defense with 22 digs and freshman Anne Bachmann (Lincoln, Neb.) was also issued a double-double with 14 assists and 14 digs.
Sadly for UTC, things went downhill from there. The scores from the first and second sets were reversed as Elon topped the Mocs 25-22 in the third set and claimed the fourth set 25-17 – the largest margin of victory on the night – as the Phoenix defense held UTC to 17 kills in the two frames. A .087 hitting percentage was the second lowest total of the night for Chattanooga and .025 in the fourth took the worst percentage.
A step up from their previous two sets, the deciding set came down to the wire. Chattanooga downed nine kills and hit .250 with only four errors to close out the night, but Elon – also totaling nine kills in the final frame – committed zero errors en route to the win in the Scenic City.
The loss drops the Mocs to 3-20 on the season with a 2-6 SoCon mark. The Phoenix improves to 13-11 with a 4-4 record in the league. UTC goes back to work Friday in Statesboro, Ga., as Georgia Southern hosts the Mocs at 6 p.m. Chattanooga wraps up the weekend in Charleston, S.C., taking on The Citadel at 4 p.m. Saturday.

Buoyed by an extended onslaught of promotion, the premiere of NBC's new series The Voice scored big ratings, outranking stiff competition in its two genres: music (Glee) and reality (Dancing with the Stars). The show's structure is overly complicated (the four judges each recruit a team of eight singers, then train their team for competition against the other judges' teams), and a few suspense beats that would have worked on series creator Mark Burnett's biggest success, Survivor, fell flat, but overall, the show works. So, a quick rundown:
By way of introduction, The Voice's four artist/judges performed Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy," with Adam Levine on drums, Blake Shelton on guitar, and Christina Aguilera joining Cee Lo Green on lead vocals. The quartet won't be forming a super-group anytime soon, but their rendition was polished, and successfully communicated the artists' willingness and ability to succeed in a variety of musical genres.
The contestants range from rank amateurs to near-professionals: After belting Faith Hill's "Breathe," Tarralyn Ramsey tearfully ad-libbed a few bars of "What a Girl Wants" when she was selected by Aguilera, confessing that she sang along to all of Aguilera's songs, "even the Spanish ones." She didn't mention that in 2003, she won VH1's Born to Diva competition, performed on Divas Duets, and got a one-record deal with Universal?the same grand prize offered by The Voice.
Jeff Jenkins, on the other hand, isn't even a webcam Youtuber like some of the amateur hopefuls, yet he impressed all four judges with his rendition of "Bless the Broken Road," made famous by Rascal Flatts.
And so on. The "surprises" weren't particularly exciting: a duo! Disqualified American Idol contestant Frenchie Davis! (Also a pretty decent cover of "Rolling in the Deep"!)
But the clear audience favorite was Javier Colon: his emotive guitar-and-vocal rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" is currently the 43rd best-selling song on iTunes, where all of the audition songs became available for purchase immediately after the premiere.

Newbies, Post in Welcome Central to open up the boards

I am not a convinced UR believer. I hold it as a possibility though - I don't believe in it, but I hope for it.
Well in the end I think I cannot depend on a theology. I must depend on the real person of Jesus. I consider that my salvation, that I know Jesus and that He has always been kind to me. Contrasted with the knowledge that I didn't really deserve it.
Then recently Jesus came to me. He said it would be important that I would give up my dad to Him. I think this means my dad has a chance. That Jesus cares. Why would Jesus ask me to trust Him about my dad if he is damned?
I was raised a Lutheran and was taught that if you were not baptized among other things that you were bound for a fiery residense in hell fire for all eternity or more commonly said, forever.

Rating: 2.64 out of 11 votes cast
sturdy shirt a great deal on clearance
Very tough fabric. Dye color is (intentionally) faded out and not consistent. Size runs on the large side, which seems normal for TA items. This is more like a camping/work shirt than a silky formal shirt; the silk in the weave is more tough than soft. I like the shirt quite a bit, and the price is good on sale.
Oakland, CA
Really like this shirt
I really like this shirt, it looks very nice but it does fit most of the reviews. The material is on the rougher side, it's raw silk and cotton. If you want a nice smooth silky shirt it is not for you. The sleeves fit about like most of the TA shirts I have, a little longer than I like but I wear an XL and a 34 inch sleeve, when I order an XL without specifying a sleeve length I expect a little longer sleeve. If you want a nice looking shirt that holds it body well after ironing, one that is not really rough, but isn't silky as most people expect when they see silk, this is a very nice looking shirt. I have two and plan on ordering a third.
Olathe, Ks
Great Shirt
I don't understand the bad reviews. I love this shirt. It lasts. It looks good out of the dryer. The silk blend is great. I hope that don't get rid of it because of all the negative reviews!
sizing problem
sizing is way off for a "classic" fit. The arm holes are HUGE, so this shirt hangs horribly. Some larges fit me perfectly, and others (slim fit styles) are too tight, but this large is made for someone who is monstrous.
great shirt, but not durable (at all...)
I have two to three dozen TA shirts, and am a big fan of the huge selection of talls with their long sleeves. I have purchased three of the Biergarten shirts, and other silk-blend items, from TA over multiple years. All of them fray along seams (cuffs, pocket, collar, shoulders) within about 10 (gentle!) machine washings. This shirt is my favorite for initial feel, but is probably the worst about fraying. I like the silk-based shirts so much that I kept ordering, in hopes the last one was an anomaly. Never again. Maybe dry cleaning would be better - who knows? If that's a fix, the shirts should definitely be labelled as such. Beware! You too will love this shirt, then it will fall apart on you....
Quality is poor
I bought one of these shirts 1-2 years ago. Love the color and material. But, it started coming apart at the seams on the sleeves. Had a seamstress repair for $25. Now the seams on shoulders are coming apart. This is not the quality I expect from TA. Do not buy this item
Silky? No way.
Rough fabric. Sleeves on tall long a bit short. Afraid further wash and dry will make worse. At almost $100 bucks........ Crazy price. Should be a VERY HIGH QUALITY. Far from it. Wasted money on shipping both ways.
Be careful
This company is going to lose a good customer if they dont get it together. I just sent back two of these because the sleeves are toooo long. Im not paying $100 to wear a shirt that makes me look like a slob. Its unfortunate i had to spend $14 to find that out. Lately your shirts sleeves have been long, and the medium is too small in the chest; so i hope you correct or im done with your company.
San Diego
Nice Quality, Bad Fit
I've been very pleased with my prior Territory Ahead purchases, but this shirt was a disappointment. The quality of the fabric and design of the shirt is good, but the fit is different from all of my other Territory Ahead shirts - the sizing runs large. I normally wear an XL in Territory Ahead, but I'm swimming in this XL. I will need to return it.
Lancaster, PA
Very Nice Shirt Doesn'last
The material is wonderful and the fit was excellent but within a year the shirt with limited wear, was already threadbare in the collar and cuffs. Disappointing longevity...
Rockville, Maryland
Not the quality I'm used too
Seems like the purchasing rep skimped to increase profits

I haven't gone back and collected what I've stored yet but, in terms of signing up and storing my materials, everything was very well done. The staff member that helped me was actually new to the job yet he knew what he was doing and was very happy to help, which made everything very welcoming. I was also happy with the help provided in terms of bringing my supplies over and having access.Matthieu from Decatur, GA

You are the best! I have rented storage from San Francisco to Miami over the years. I now have a storage space rented in Cancun, Mexico. Nothing measures up to Uncle Bob's. If you had a facility in Cancun there would be people waiting in line to rent from you.Walton from Atlanta, GA

Having stored with Uncle Bob's before, I knew I would be pleased! I selected a space slightly larger than I thought I'd need, and I'm glad I did. Kennedy told me early on that she had one come available, and I was happy to have that updated information so I could move into the perfect size unit from the start. Thank you so much, Kennedy, for your always amazing help, interest, and alertness!Gloria from Marietta, GA

I don't know if anyone noticed something strange in two of my previous posts: 2006 Metrics and Google Video Contact Manager. Both contained a reference to Performancing, a small startup that offered great products for bloggers: a nice editor for Firefox, a real-time statistics service and an ad network. I've only used their metrics service, which doesn't have all the features of Google Analytics, but it updates hourly, and shows much better information about referrals, outgoing links and ads.
Unfortunately, Performancing sold their metrics service to PayPerPost, a company that pays bloggers to write posts about products (a combination between advertorials and product placements). BusinessWeek said they're "polluting the blogosphere", while TechCrunch concluded they're offering to "sell your soul". While PayPerPost policy changed and bloggers must disclose that they are accepting payments, it's hard to trust a company that doesn't give a damn about ethics.
It's weird to see a great service in such ugly hands (this is the risk for any startup), but it's also difficult to find other service that offers the same features. So if you know a better alternative, or if you think I'm wrong, tell me in the comments.

White Bird Botanical Sheer Burnout Curtain 21 21
Easy to press very good price point for quality Love these curtains better than I expected. They are beautiful airy and gave my bedroom the perfect look and brightened everything up. The quality is very good and the green birds give everything a happy feel. March 31, 2015
Beautiful curtains I love these curtains. The way the light plays with them is wonderful. Lovely to see the light streaming thru them as well seeing them from the outside in the dark. So glad I found these March 17, 2015
Perfect panel I bought one panel for the middle of a three window set of curtains and it looks as if they were designed to go together. The delicate etching and the embroidered birds give a kind of 3-D effect that really makes the center window interesting. December 7, 2013
Love! I had a hard time committing to curtains for our nursery. We don't know the gender of the baby, so everything is pretty neutral in the room. These curtains add such a sweet touch. I love the light that shines through. Very whimsical. September 17, 2013
Beautiful Airy Simple It is a great way to express your self and to have privacy without blocking the view. One note, the bird is not centered sometimes and while sewing it missed a part of it. It appears torn. You can barely see it in the distance. August 28, 2013
Lovely Curtains! I just love these curtains! They hang well and look great for ANY room. The added bonus is the green bird perched here and there on the burn out trees! They are a true white and I just can't say enough about how pretty they really are. Did I say I love them? April 25, 2013
Super Cute! Theses curtains are adorable. Well made. Sheer to allow privacy but a lot of light into the room. Very good bargain. February 17, 2013
WoW! I am so happy with these curtains. The size, color, pattern and material is everything it was described on the website. They look so pretty hanging and add just the right touch of feminine and finesse to the room. The birds are just enough and add the right touch of whimsy to these lovely window coverings.

Rated 2.7 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by SarahB0130 Disappointing I bought this case in pink in DC, at the store. The woman who sold this to me told me that it did not provide much protection but i bought it anyway, thinking that it would provide a decent amount. I dropped my phone once while in Florida and my screen shattered. The case itself is falling apart, the leather started to rub off the day i got it, after putting it in my purse once. Overall, i am very disappointed with the case. March 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cuicuita Elegant!! The smell of the leather and texture is just amazing. I really love my case!!! February 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SarahJ Fashionable case! Good fashionable case! Great colors! I purchased this in royal fuchsia and it is actually darker than in the picture from the website. I think the price is a bit too much for a case of this quality, compared to other cases around, $30 would have been reasonable. If you are looking for a case to PROTECT your phone, you'd be disappointed. Look elsewhere in other companies known to make good protective iphone cases. This is a fashion website, what do you expect? But if you're just looking for something fashionable, then you would love it! January 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Amanda2 Poor Quality It's pretty but the quality is really poor. There were uneven edges and a line of the back. It isn't worth the money. If if was $10 I'd be happy with the purchase. Very poor workmanship. It feels and looks cheap. Does not feel like leather like the description suggests. It looks like melted plastic on edges. January 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by HolSorbs Beautiful Colour(Royal Fuchsia) I recently updated to iPhone 5S and was nervous when I ordered this phone case cause of the previous review, but I have to say I love it, it fits the phone perfectly and is so classy! The colour is vibrant and fun. I have dropped it once and the phone stayed in the case with no damage. I am super careful with my phones so if you tend to drop, or are just rough with your phone then you would probably want something with more protection but other then that this case is super cute! December 30, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Nichole Robinson Saffiano Hardshell Case for iPhone 5S I recently upgraded my phone to the iPhone 5S and immediately searched for an appropriate case for maximum protection. I had been eyeing the fuchsia Robinson Saffiano case for its chic and classy look, so I decided to make the purchase. For the amount spent, I was thoroughly disappointed with the case. Although the color was bright and vibrant, the phone fits loosely in the shell and would probably pop right out if I were to drop it, defeating the whole purpose of the case in the first place. Also, the quality seems a little cheap. I am definitely returning this product. December 5, 2013

Four MPs back geological search – two still undecided
Last updated at 15:48, Thursday, 17 January 2013
FOUR of Cumbria's six MPs favour a geological search to see if there is anywhere in the west of the county which might prove suitable to bury radioactive waste.
West Cumbria's two MPs – Jamie Reed (Copeland) and Sir Tony Cunningham (Workington) – have given their backing along with Carlisle's John Stevenson and Barrow's John Woodcock following an informal Cumbria cross-party MP session in Westminster.
But Rory Stewart (Penrith and The Border) and Tim Farron (Westmorland and Lonsdale) say no formal decision was reached in last Thursday's evidence-gathering session, held ahead of the January 30 meetings in which Cumbria County Council Cabinet, Copeland and Allerdale borough council executives will decide whether to start trying to identify a potentially suitable underground site through desk top studies.
At the Westminster meeting, the six MPs discussed all the facts surrounding the process to date. Four of the six took a majority view that the three local authorities should vote 'yes' and move to the next stage.
Mr Reed said: "Moving to Stage 4 will enable the local geology of West Cumbria to be better understood and will ensure that a suitable community benefit package from government is established.
"The cross-party group accepts that the right for the authorities to withdraw from this process at any time – for any reason – is guaranteed."
On their stance, Mr Stewart and Mr Farron both emphasise that they were not endorsing "any particular conclusion" and nor do they intend to do so until they have seen further evidence of what is best for Cumbria and for disposal facilities in Britain generally.
In a joint statement, the two MPs said it was not "a formal evidence session" and no formal decision was reached, adding: "It was a briefing session in which MPs were introduced to the debate over the geology underlying decisions on siting a nuclear repository.
"The MPs had a chance in private to ask serious and searching questions and to learn more about the complexity of the geological evidence. It was not a parliamentary committee operating in a formal capacity. The MPs were not tasked to produce a formal report or reach a formal conclusion. Instead it was part of an ongoing process of private briefings conducted for Cumbrian MPs on subjects ranging from the Lake District National Park to the Cumbrian Police and University of Cumbria."
In each case the objective was to discuss Cumbrian issues freely on a cross-party basis and be updated on new issues. Their statement added: "Individual members of the committee may of course have their own strongly-held views but the committee was not intended to reach a conclusion on the basis of that session, nor did it do so."
As well as considering written submissions, Cumbria's MPs heard contributions from Prof Bruce Yardley (University of Leeds), Prof Stuart Haszeldine (Edinburgh University) and Bruce McKirdy, from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
Meanwhile energy minister Baroness Verma has written to the three councils stressing government commitment to make "right of withdrawal" from the repository process legally binding as well as giving assurances over community benefits at a future stage.

The only thing more fun than owning a rental is hitting yourself in the head with a brick. Until you pass out.
I know, it's a first world problem… but being a landlord is a special kind of crazy. Still, I won't sell it because I have this silly hope that the market will rebound, and I'll actually make a little money someday. Hahahahaha!!
Besides, I've owned my cozy condo for nine years and I'm attached to it. I loved living there. So when I wed Widdle and moved to Tinytown seven years ago, home sweet home became a rental.
Thankfully, in all that time I've had only two tenants, thanks to a combination of good luck, a good property manager and a good rental market.
There was one wee little problem with the first ones: The upstairs bathroom toilet kept clogging. Apparently the man of the house, who hailed from another country, thought American disposable razors could be disposed of in the toilet. He was quickly educated, and they were perfect renters to the day they departed (and left the place spotless!)
I've learned a few lessons as a landlord, some the hard way. These may help you, if you ever wake up one day and think, "Hey! I want total strangers living in my house."
Lesson # 1: Never, ever become attached to a rental. It's four walls and a floor, nothing more. In the early days I used to lie awake thinking, "Are they finger-painting the walls with wine? Will they be nice to my washer and dryer?" Eventually you learn…
Lesson # 2: No news is good news. Silence + timely checks = all is well.
Speaking of checks, I've written a bunch since the last tenants moved out. (They were a lovely couple who stayed even after lightning struck the unit and destroyed their TV days after they moved in. Now THAT was a mess. Try living in one county and getting utilities turned back on in another county after everything's shut off "on account of fire." That permit-and-fee dance will make you sweat.)
The latest checks were for having the interior repainted, and replacing the AC when it croaked. The only thing I hate more than spending money is being hot, so I couldn't ask the painter to work without AC in July. The good news: several thousand dollars later, the condo is refreshingly chilly and freshly painted.
Lesson # 3: You will not get rich renting property. Even if the rent covers your mortgage and HOA fees, which mine doesn't, you are required by law and karma to keep the place up, and that costs money. If you break even, you're a wildly successful landlord. Just keep repeating those magic words, "I'm building equity, I'm building equity…"
The best thing about renting is that you meet some really decent people. (My husband might disagree with that: He's had tenants who ran a clandestine dog-breeding operation and others who left at 2 a.m. owing back rent.)
In seven years I've never met any crazies, because the property manager takes care of all that. She does the credit and background checks and decides who's a good tenant, so I don't have to. Which brings us to…
Lesson # 4: Don't try this alone. You will go stark raving mad and end up in the nuthouse.
And I hear the rent there is pretty high.
