"There She Goes" is one of the staples in our live show and has been a song with us from the beginning…we're so excited about giving it a shot! Let your stations know you want to hear it!
A lot of you have also been asking about tour dates and we are still working out our touring plans for the spring and summer. We will be announcing some dates in the next few weeks.

The list of reviews is public, but to get a permalink you need to know your user ID. Here's an example of public reviews page that mostly includes ratings for models from 3D Warehouse. One way to get a permalink for your reviews is to post a comment at Google 3D Warehouse and copy the link displayed next to your comment.
You can visit the discussion threads to read the replies, edit your comments or even delete them. Sorting the reviews by rating could reveal a list of gadgets, places, products or 3D models you found interesting at some point, assuming you took the time to provide feedback.
Google should provide more consolidated interfaces that show data gathered from different services. It would be useful to view and search all your comments from Blogger blogs, get a unified view for all the files uploaded to Google services (Gmail, Picasa Web Albums, Google Docs) or search all the starred items, whether they're bookmarks, Google Reader posts, Gmail messages or documents.

JJ and Theresa smoke drugs and get amorous, Jennifer asks Hope to arrest JJ, and Nicole tries to get Father Eric to believe she didn't rape him.
Stefano surprises Daniel with a visit to his office at the hospital. He thanks him for saving his son's life. It's a little awkward and Stefano offers to repay his debt by getting rid of Theresa. Daniel refuses.
Theresa gets tipsy at her apartment with JJ. She asks if he has any coke or weed but he doesn't. If he gets caught with any of that he's in for it. She gets on top of him and starts kissing him. He's not really into it so he pulls out some weed. She approves. "This is the JJ I know and love." After they've smoked, they commiserate about their stiff parents and make-out. JJ hears a noise and gets paranoid. He opens the window to get the smell of marijuana out and wonders if they're being spied on. Theresa laughs and opens the door. "This place is like a morgue after 9 PM." He goes to the bathroom so she leaves Daniel a message on his phone, calling him 'Dr. What A Waste' because he's wasting his time on Jennifer.
From the Horton house, Jennifer ignores Abigail's pleas not to turn JJ in and calls Hope over. Abigail says doing time with thieves and murderers won't really straighten him out. It'll destroy JJ's life. Hope shows up and they fill her in about JJ leaving home with dope. Jenn blames herself for letting him walk all over her. Hope doesn't like it. Jenn guesses he's at Theresa's so Hope agrees to try to talk to Theresa and bring JJ home if he is there.
At the DiMera mansion, Kristen denies the accusations Nicole made about her cheating on Brady. He believes her. She starts yelling about how much she hates Nicole and Brady can tell something else is up. She admits it's not Nicole. The fertility specialist had bad news for her today. Brady gives her comfort and leaves. Later, Kristen rants to Stefano about Nicole's accusations. She smashes a doll's head into the piano and yells that she should have ripped Nicole's face off when she had sex with Brady. He can never find out or she'll lose him forever.
At St. Luke's, Father Eric accuses Nicole of drugging him and raping him. She's speechless and confused. She could never do anything to hurt him. He says he didn't want to believe it but the evidence kept piling up. Nicole denies any of it but he persists. She yells, "No, no, no, no," and tells him she went to the capitol to bring him his notes for the meeting. When she got there he was already ill. Eric tells her about the hotel clerk's story about Fay Taylor. Nicole calls that a coincidence. Father Eric points out how she refuses to discuss that night out of guilt but she screams that the reason she wouldn't discuss it is because Father Matt asked her not to because it was stressing Eric out. She sobs as she tries to get him to believe her but says if he doesn't believe her then he never really knew her. He thinks he's finally getting a glimpse of the real her. She yells 'to hell with him and God' and smashes the flowers before walking out.
Abigail goes to the Kiriakis mansion to beg Maggie to talk Jennifer out of getting JJ arrested. Maggie sides with Jennifer. Abigail won't let this happen. She storms out.
When Hope arrives at Theresa's place, JJ stays in the bathroom. Hope asks if she's seen JJ but Theresa denies it and says she's got some other naked guy inside. She shuts the door behind her. JJ comes out of the bathroom and jealously asks about the guy was she was leaving a message for. She didn't want to wait for him to grow up and wanted to party so she called 'Dan the man' to get the job done. He's pissed to hear Daniel was over earlier so she taunts him until he kisses her hard and starts to make love to her. She stops and pulls out some liquid drug and tells him they're going on the ride of their lives.
Back at the hospital, Daniel listens to Theresa's message but half-way through his phone battery dies.
Maggie comes upon Brady outside Daniel's apartment. Neither can get a hold of him and since Maggie's distraught, they take off to get coffee at the Brady pub while they look up the next AA meeting.
Hope returns to Jennifer's having not found JJ. Jennifer worries about where JJ will sleep tonight. Hope tells 'cuz' to think positively. Abigail arrives and begs Hope not to arrest her brother. Hope assures her they've decided to wait a day.

Sidney Lumet, the director of such fine films as "12 Angry Men" and "Dog Day Afternoon," once said, "All good work requires self-revelation." While making good on our commitments to the patients we serve may not seem similar to making a movie, there are commonalities, and Mr. Lumet's quote definitely applies for us.
Mark Hennon, MD, and a patient discuss RPCI's High Risk Lung Cancer Screening Program during this radio spot airing on 97 Rock in Buffalo, NY.
Grace Dy, MD, and a patient discuss personalized lung cancer care at RPCI during this radio spot airing on 97 Rock in Buffalo, NY.
Country 106.5 WYRK-FM was on hand Wednesday, July 24, to help RPCI celebrate Employee Appreciation Day in Kaminski Park.
Roswell Park has partnered up with Teens Living with Cancer (TLC) to bring the organization to Buffalo.
Saying Thank You in Many Different Ways: Gracias. Merci. Danke. Grazie. Dziekuje. Arigato. Xie xie. Asante. From Spanish to Swahili, these are just eight different ways we can say "thank you" to the thousands of people, like you, who are helping us this year to find cures and save lives in our fight against cancer.
The field of immunotherapy traces its origins to the theories of a pioneering American surgeon, William Coley, in the late 19th century but has hit its stride only in the last decade. Though they cover a breadth of different approaches, targets and biological agents, all immunotherapies have this in common: they enlist the body's own defense program, the immune system, in destroying, controlling and even preventing cancer. Tumor vaccines are one example of such immunotherapy. The most encouraging tumor vaccines used to treat active cancer consist of a patient's own immune cells, armed to recognize that patient's cancer and to kill it as well as to stimulate other immune cells to do the same. Such vaccines appear to spare the patient the collateral damage and unpleasant side effects associated with traditional cancer therapies.
In this "Sound Magazine" interview with 97 Rock's Carl Russo, Lung Oncologist, Dr. Grace Dy, explains how molecular testing is helping RPCI to select the best therapies for patients with advanced lung cancer, treatments that are personalized to those patients based on genetic factors.
Cancer Can't Win. Because Roswell Park is Here. Thanks to our dedicated faculty and staff, our generous donors and supporters and our partnership with New York State, Roswell Park Cancer Institute is the region's number-one cancer care provider and a major economic engine for the Buffalo Niagara community. This is a public trust we take very seriously and one that, for our future success, requires foresight, determination and careful planning.

East Cooper high school sports fans, you're in for a treat this weekend and next.
Two lacrosse teams advanced to the 4A state championships with wins Tuesday night, and the Wando rugby club program is playing for a state title of its own after a victory this past week.
The Wando boys lacrosse team crushed A.C. Flora, Tuesday night, 16-2 to advance to the state final against Fort Mill. The Warriors are the top-ranked team in South Carolina. Carson Horner, Tucker Dodson and Andrew Phelan had three goals apiece. Fort Mill edged Greenville, 11-10, in the Upper State final.
The state championship game will be held at White Knoll High School, Saturday at 1:30 p.m. If Wando successfully defends its title against Fort Mill, it will be the first time a school has won back-to-back championships since the sport was sanctioned by the SCHSL four years ago.
Bishop England upset rival Wando in the girls Lower State final on Tuesday night, winning 15-13. The Battling Bishops, a No. 2 seed, knocked off the No. 1 seed, led by Jordan Mitchell's five goals and one assist. Elena Bosco added five assists and four goals.
Wando's Allie Bucknam continued her impressive postseason stat line with seven goals and one assist.
The girls state title game will begin Saturday at 11 a.m. at White Knoll. Bishop England is vying for its first lacrosse state championship.
The Wando rugby club team will attempt to knock defending champion Chapin off its perch, April 20, in the state title game at Crooked Creek Park.
Chapin is undefeated and have won three championships in program history. The match begins at 2 p.m.

The Problem with MMO's today.....
Well the problem is probably not with MMO's or the Developers or the Companies that produce the games, it is probably with me.
Back when I started playing Role Playing Games, they were just that Role Playing. A few friends and I had an idea this Dungeons and Dragons thing might be fun. One of us, I can not remember who, thought that they would have a go at being the "Game Master" and started wrighting stuff and creating a bit of a plot. After a couple of weeks of this he announced he was ready and we all gathered in the pool room at my house and started to play. Pretty soon what we had going was a sort of group created interactive novel. This is what I remember and this is what I love.
We had no problem in seperating what our characters where doing and how they were interacting from what we were doing as teenagers and how we interacted, we did not get any sort of ego boost by playing the game or think we were better than the others because we levelled faster or hit harder or whatever, it was a game we did together and had fun.
Years later (a couple of decades actually) when I started playing Everquest I found much the same thing, the game master had been replaced by Verant (SOE), my D&D friends and I had long since lost touch but I found new people and made new friends. Role playing was a big part of the experience and people did things with their characters because that was what the characters would do. You did not see people jumping down the road or just jumping. They walked, run or rode as their character would have. Lots of things that are now common place and regarded as legitimate fun were unknown, rare or at least very uncommon. Griefing, ganking and trolling (if they were even labelled as that) were disapproved of and sanctioned by GM's and players alike. Yes they were much discussed but not as 'legendary' or 'epic' but as childish and disreputable.
Today these things are regarded as normal parts of the game, whole guilds indulge in them on a regular basis. No real disapproval no sanctions, indeed some games are being designed to encourage this sort of behaviour.
As for seperating the character from the player, there is a steady progression towards making the character simply a wardrobe choice for the player, multiple characters becoming just multiple outfits for the same player. No role playing at all, unless you count people who have an on-line persona that they would never dare to act out in real life.
For people with my mindset this is bad thing. A down hill slide into 'console' style 'action' and 'magic realism'. For, what I believe is the majority of MMO players today, this is a major "quality of life" improvement.
In the end, looking at RIFT today, at the other AAA games out there and at what is coming in 2013 I have little desire to play any MMO. I still want to play a multiplayer online role playing game, with a fantasy theme and current generation graphics. I have the money and the time to play one. Unfortuantely no company out there thinks there is enough of a market to actually make one.
As I said in the beginning the fault is with my perceptions and desires, the gaming industry is catering to the market that exists and not to my personal tastes.
Everything changes.
... when my parents purchased the house I am now living in, I was amazed by the postman arriving each day on horse back and not on a bicycle ...now it is sort of a motor scooter thingy.
In those first years milk was delivered each morning around 6am, a truck came around each day to deliver bread and such and there was a guy delivering 'soda' by the crate each week. Kangaroos where a regular sight on the newly growing front lawn and 200 yards up the hill you were in native woodland.
Now there are parklands down the hill (it was farmland then) and up the hill and for 20 miles beyond it is all houses.
Yes everything changes, not necessarily for the better, and those of us who remember it well get nostalgic and would like to see some of it again.
That does not mean I expect change to happen, or that more than a fraction of the player base agree or feel the same way.
What it does mean is that there is a section of the market whose desires are not being met, a cashed up time rich section of the market that hopefully someone will start to cater to. Who knows some of the younger folk out there may find it is more fun as well.

"Everything changs" is not valid.
change happens out of necesity. The goal of change is improvement.
In your post you never stated why the mailman traded his horse for a scooter, although it's obvious. what's less obvious is why the RP has to die in favor of instant gratification.
I don't think it's an improvement. Therefore I don't think this change is warranted.

Also the fact that MMOs were never built with RPing in mind, it's essentially limited to talking funny and dressing up.
Played: UO, EQ, WoW, DDO, SWG, AO, CoH, EvE, TR, AoC, GW, GA, Aion, Allods, lots more
Although I did RP a little in EQ (As a Dark Elf SK in an all Dark Elf Guild and a Wood Elf Ranger that was the daughter of another two players) I didn't do it all the time. It was a minor thing I did at times when I felt like it.
I also played P&P D&D, and Rift (The P&P game, not Rifts the new MMO).
I know what you are getting at though. It is much harder to get lost in the fantasy world these days to forget if just for a bit about your stressful job, bills, and dealing with some people because it follows you into the world. People acting like idiots on a sadly common basis, and every MMORPG treated like a race to be #1 and no community feel.
Maybe someday we will see another one again. Hopefully before I have arthritis and catarax.

I'm not seeing it as obvious why evelopers want their customers to burn through and walk away faster, not slower.
Perhaps you can help me here...why does a developer develop (across 5 years) a game that is obsolete in 6 months ? Is there some advantage to this ? because minus maybe Rift, everything 2007+ crumbled because it followed this mindset.

This is why console games exist. MMORPG's weren't really meant for that. They just evolved that way since WoW brought what it did and everyone else followed suit chasing the cash...sadly.
I often wonder why people play MMORPG's if they can't make the time to enjoy them at a moderate pace and find the fun and accomplishment in the time they can spend in game.

And if players truly prefer to have fun faster, what is wrong with giving it to them? It is called supply and demand .. the corner stone of our free market economy.

Even WoW is not "beatable in two weeks".
I feel this isn't wow's fault. this is the fault of those who tried to out-casualize wow. What wow does fits WoW's content release speed well...or did, I can't speak in present tense as i no lnoger play. There's side games, there's time sinks...it's not AS casual as some of the things released nowadays that are empty after first billing cycle.

They started as live action RPG games. They took awhile to grasp, to level, to quest (Chain quests existed), etc. They have evolved into fast paced action games. So yes, they started with a clear difference from what they are now...which I feel are console-like RPG's that just "happen" to have other players in it that basically act as NPC's since few interact unless they need something.
No one said there was something wrong with wanting faster anyways. I just don't prefer it, and sadly...they all do that now chasing the cash cow they won't catch.
Hence why you have a gazillion MMO's advertise, promote, offer exclusive crap, then release and go down the drain in 6 months. Looking for the quick cash grab instead of longetivity and creativity.

No issue except where people but a game that does z, but then they wake up next morning to find that their game no longer does z it does y because more people will play it. The best solution ofc is to have z and y as 2 seperate games, but instead you have people demanding that y does z and vice versa. Supply and demand is different from supply - demand- swap what we supplied with something you don't want.

It's the same as people who say there isn't anything challenging about old school MMO's, they just take time. Same thing. But the newer ones STILL don't compare in logetivity to older ones.
I played EQ for 5 years and left it without seeing all the content. Hell, it is STILL putting out expansions and has a playerbase...how many, other than WoW can say that these days.

In other words, what you want is more role-playing and less game. If you play a "role-playing game" in which most of the other players are there to play the game and don't want to role-play, then I can see why that's a problem for you.
You're surely not the only person in the world who wants the role-playing side of things more than the game; that's why role-playing servers exist in the first place. But as you're aware, your tastes are definitely in the minority. If a company wanted to make an MMORPG that caters to people like you, it's not entirely clear how they would do it.
They'd probably have to make it not very good on its merits purely as a game, both to avoid constantly bashing you over the head with "you fail at the game because you made your gear choices with regard to role-playing and not purely based on the stats they give", and also to keep you and those like you from being drowning in a sea of people who only want to play the game and don't care to role-play. But you can see the problem with saying, "We're going to intentionally make our game bad so that people who just want to play the game will get bored and quit and leave the role-players alone."
I wonder if it would be practical for a game that takes the separate servers model of instancing to designate a particular server as the role-playing server and intentionally change a bunch of game mechanics to give you the freedom to role-play however you want while making the game rules on that server seem completely stupid to those who only want to level up, kill things, get epics, and gank people. For example, a lot more randomness in what happens, to the degree that many of your encounters aren't play-balanced very well. And far less effect of gear and build choices, so that you don't have to weigh everything on the basis of what has the best stats and gives you the most damage per second. That might help to dissuade non-role-players from playing on the role-playing server for game-related reasons. Or would game design choices like that break everything for you, too?

It makes them not pick up your game in the first place.
You don't have to make a game bad to RP lol. That is ridiculous. EQ wasn't solely RP. Yes, it had RP servers, but even on non-RP servers there was quite a bit of RPing taking place. And EQ was and still is a good game. It's all in the eye of the beholder.
Players then used imagination. Players now have no patience and lack imagination. They just want everything quick. Some people can find the fun in any situation or time frame.
I use to find grinding mobs in certain zones in EQ for hours fun. Mainly because mobs had randomized drops and you could get almost anything from a kill...making each one exciting to see what you may get. And of course for the good xp.
You don't really have that now...most mobs have designated drops so you already know what's coming...so yeah...grinding in a newer MMO sucks.

Since there are more of the younger generation than those old school gamers like me, history will probably say that most of the changes we've had since say EQ are good. Since there are more customers playing and paying, I'm sure he industry thinks the changes are good as well. It's all in the perception.

Durable Pedal
By alamo889
from El Cajon, Ca
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Shimano A520 Sport/Touring Road Pedals:
I`ve been using these pedals for 5 years and they are holding up great. Very durable. They needed breaking in at first, but once I had a couple thousand miles use on them they clip and unclip easy and spin easy. Good pedal.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pretty Good, check bolts after each ride
By HikeCyclePhoto
from Western North Carolina
About Me Avid Cyclist
Recently got these for road riding, and generally like them. They are supposed ot be used with recessed-sole road shoes, but I got flat-bottom shoes because shoe selection seemed fairly limited for the two-bolt cleat pattern. That might be the reason for the following issue-- not sure, but I've left a message with ShimanoThat said, the cleats clip in very easily with pedals set for low tension. My only issue is with unclipping. My right shoe unclips easily; the left not so easily. Yesterday, I had trouble clipping in on the left side. When I stopped to take a break, I was unable to unclip the left shoe, even after unclipping and standing on my right foot. So, I had to open the Velcro shoe closures, remove my foot from the shoe (While standing on one foot-- not so easy. Then, I was just able to twist the left shoe out of the pedal. The reason? One bolt was gone from the cleat; the other was loose, as was the cleat. I was lucky enough to have the correct hex wrench to tighten the lone bolt, and finish my ride with no problem.Check bolts after every ride!
Pretty Nice Pedals
I purchased these for a used road bike I recently purchased. The original platform pedals had to go-- and fast!I like SPD pedals and cleats, as walking in the cleats is almost normal.With these I purchased shoes without a recessed cleat area. In spite of that, clipping in is easy and sure. Both pedals were factory set to be REALLY tight, and difficult to use. A 3MM hex key took care of that. Now, clipping in is easy, but unclipping varies. My right shoe unclips easily. My left is tighter in the release. I have to check the tension on the left show, though I think it's adjusted to near its lightest setting.All in all, I like these pedals. Even at a lighter setting, they offer great security, light weight, and very good value.I ride 50-70 miles per week, though last week 111 miles, and today, with these pedals, 50.

They are fine
By don'tridemuch
from Pa.
even on the lightest setting they are a little hard to clip in. I think they are fine for the money. They will probably break in and loosen up. I didn't spend alot of money but I think I got what I paid for. I'm happy with them. If I had an expensive bike and rode a lot I would probably buy better ones.
Fantastic Pedal
By Crazy_2
from Gibbons, Alberta
Just installed these today on my Norco Valance C1, was using an older set of Look pedals but they were a pain to walk in, these work great when clipped in and comfortable to walk around when not. Was concerned they were single side entry but no problems clipping in at all. Currently using my shimano mountain bike shoes, but have a set pair of Giro Empire Shoes on order from a local bike shop, I expect they will be a great combo.Will update after the shoes arrive and I get a few rides in.
Quality pedals
By Traveler
from Durham, NC
Used these pedals before on another bike and loved them. Needed new pedals and these were the obvious choice.
Better pedal contact, yet lightweight.
By George
from Lancaster, PA
This pedal has taken the pressure off a hot spot on my left foot. It provides a wider contact area to the pedal if you are using shoes with recessed cleats.
Great recreational pedal
By Don M
from West Hartford, CT
A great pedal at a great price. I converted to this after getting tired skidding around on my Look road pedal cleats. I do a lot of mtb riding and can now use the same shoes for both. Now what do I do with my look cleats, pedals and shoes??

Too hard to clip in at night
By Alan
from Kentucky
See all my reviews
I had to return these pedals. This was my first clipless pedal for my new flat-bar road bike, and it almost made me go back to safe platform pedals. I didn't notice there was a difference in road and MTB pedals; I'm on a steep learning curve after 18 years of platform pedals and toe straps. I do most of my riding at night and found out real fast that these pedals wouldn't work for my riding style. They naturally "hang" upside down and it was impossible for me to click-in the second pedal because I couldn't see whether it was upside down or right side up. That is unless there was a nearby street lamp or a full moon. I rode around in circles trying to clip-in that second pedal to no avail. I finally lost balance and fell hard, twice. Now I have a nasty bruise down one leg to remind me what a mistake I made. Also, they were too hard to click out of even at the weakest spring setting. I just couldn't make them work for me.
A Practical Pedal
By Juan
from Mpls, MN
I ride a recumbent bike and I find that this pedal is easy to get into and out of. When I need to get into them they are always facing me. It may not be an extremely light pedal,although it is relatively light, but that is a good compromise considering the strength & durability in my opinion. I have about 500 mi on these and I made a good buying decision. And contrary to some reviews, my pair are not overly tight in the bearings.

Our GoGrid cloud services engineers are always working away making visible and behind-the-scenes improvements to the customer experience on GoGrid. Today, we rolled out some enhancements to the customer management console that we wanted to highlight. Although several of these changes won't be immediately apparent to all customers, we've done a lot of work to the underpinnings and architecture powering the management console.
So that GoGrid customers are aware of these changes and updates, I've summarized the most notable ones within this article.
Pre-Populated IP List Dropdown
In the previous version of the management console, when you were creating a new cloud server, you needed to start typing the IP address you wanted assigned to your server for the list to begin populating.
Now, when you create a new cloud server, all the available IP addresses in your account will be pre-populated into a dropdown. Remember: GoGrid provides a free, contiguous block of static IP addresses for your server.

Latest from all the library blogs.
Winter has arrived, with blowing snow and wild wind chills; great weather to make a cup of hot cocoa and settle in with a jigsaw puzzle.
The library is always offering new programs for teens, with your interests in mind.
This month, on Jan. 20, the Rensselaer Library is offering teens a chance to cook with recipes from "The Green Teen Cookbook" at the next next 'Chat & Chew' Book Review.
Monday, January 19, 2015 is the Federal holiday celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.
On August 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington, Martin Luther King gave one of the most powerful and memorable speeches in our nation's history to about 250,000 people.
Coming in January the Jasper County Public Library website - www.myjcpl.org - is getting a new look designed to make it more useful for patrons, and easier to access on a variety of mobile platforms.
What's the 'buzz?' At the close of every year, I check out the most popular 'buzzwords' for the year; the words that have made it into Wikipedia and the dictionary, most of which I had never heard before. Apparently, this year is all about 'localisation,' defined as "movement toward localized appeal by consumers."
Jasper County Public Library wants to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season, and to help make your season brighter.
Add magic to the season by getting some traditional Christmas music for trimming the tree or get a holiday DVD to watch.
Of course there are treats to be made, and the library has many books with ideas and recipes for those special treats.
There is lots going on at your local library all year long. Just look at the events we have lined up this month for teens.
For those teens who like to craft, especially during the holidays:
They say not all who wander are lost, and perhaps that is most true of the armchair traveler.
Forget something domestic where the weather is the same and the landscape only slightly different. As an armchair traveler you can follow the footsteps of others through jungles, sleet, warzones or whatever.
Prior to 1852, the Grand Kankakee Marsh was the largest wetland area in North America. The size of the marsh or "wetland" was around 500,000 acres. It was a vast area of wildlife that drew hunters from all over the world. Theodore Roosevelt, Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland frequently hunted the marsh.
In "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" by Laura Numeroff, you'll meet a tiny mouse that turns out to be quite bossy, sending a little boy on one errand after another throughout the day. It starts with one, single cookie.

A Delicate Balance: Antarctica and its Surrounding Oceans
Antarctica is surrounded by ocean waters that play a tremendous role in its climate. The world's most powerful current circulates around the Antarctic, preventing warm subtropical surface waters from reaching the coast of the continent, thus perpetuating its glacial state. At the same time, the circulation of global oceans brings deep waters to the edge of Antarctica. These deep waters have been warming strongly over the last 50 years, disrupting the balance between the ocean and the continent. Recent Antarctic expeditions have provided data allowing scientists to estimate the important implications of this disruption.

Ancient Trees Reveal Environmental Histories
Evidence from old-growth trees and ancient timbers recovered from homes and barns in the eastern U.S. and Hudson Valley region suggests that the climate and ecology of the previous four centuries may not have been as temperate as once thought. Using dendrochronology, or tree ring analysis, researchers at Lamont-Doherty now see that great droughts have sculpted current old-growth forests. Significant insight has been achieved through the use of certain trees, like the tulip poplar, which provide much longer records than previously thought. Though climate in this region is characteristically humid and temperate, research suggests that water availability is an important driver of forest dynamics.

Heat the broiler with the rack 4 inches from the heat source. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, and parsley; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
In a medium (10-inch) nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion and tomatoes and cook until the onion has softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the jalapeno peppers and egg mixture. Sprinkle cheese over top. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until eggs are almost set, 5 to 7 minutes.
Place frittata under broiler and cook until the top is set and starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, cook beans until heated through (add water if too dry); season with salt and pepper.
Run a rubber spatula around the edge of the pan to loosen the frittata. Carefully slip the frittata out of the pan onto a large serving platter. Serve wedges of frittata with black beans on the side.

It's not me, it's you.
Wait, that's not how it goes. You'll have to excuse me; I'm not very good at this breaking up thing.
But, unfortunately, that's what this is. Since July 2012, you've graciously welcomed me into your homes – via my byline in the newspaper and sometimes even literally – and all over the East Cooper community.
We've done some cool things, like when Team Charlie won his first heat in the Charleston RiverDogs wiener dog race and when I tried a halftime basketball challenge at Wando. Or, when I was abruptly introduced to Mount Pleasant culture my second week on the job at the Mount Pleasant Farmer's Market. Good times.
We've helped East Cooper student athletes gain exposure through weekly sports roundups, our (ongoing) Player of the Week high school football contest and with the Eye of the Tyler blog.
I'm also aware that my columns developed a kind of cult-dachshund following. We, dachshund owners, get it. If you think back far enough, I sought your advice when I made up my mind that I wanted to adopt a furry friend. Now, Charlie, who has been called the "Moultrie News mascot" but hasn't received payments for appearances, is a year old with more Facebook photos than an average human.
My last day is Monday, and I'll truly miss my readers and the hard-working staff at the Moultrie News.
In middle school, I had a relationship that lasted less than 24 hours. I asked the girl out, she said yes and then the next morning, I was handed a break-up letter. Epic, I know.
In high school, I went on some dates but didn't have a "girlfriend." That's okay, though; I was busy being the next Michael Jordan, anyway.
In college, I found The One, and we've been together ever since. So, you see why I'm no good at break ups.
Naturally, you should always seek guidance from the internet, especially when dealing with things of this nature. There are 451 million results for the Google search "how to break up with someone." I liked: "How to break up with someone with style and sensitivity" the best.
Tip No. 1 advises to pick an appropriate date. I'd say choosing a Wednesday is ideal, because who can't be cheered knowing somewhere the Geico camel yelling "Hump Day!" is just a YouTube search away.
The next tip is to pick an appropriate place. I'd say you reading this in your home or in the comfort of a favorite restaurant is ideal. Let's face it: this might turn ugly. We've shared some great times together, and you might go through a period of resentment. So, go ahead and throw that coffee mug – I'm not there to get a concussion.
"Do it in person" is the next tip. Whoops.
"Don't be mean" follows. Have I mentioned how pretty you are? Also, you're clearly able to read, which is a valued trait, so high five! Plenty more compliments where that came from.
"Be civil" comes next with a bonus tip advising me to not seem too happy about the breakup. Sarcasm timeout: I really will miss you guys. I've been told that whoever the new Romeo will be who comes in and charms you with a new perspective has big shoes to fill. I arrogantly nod in agreement, because I wear a size 13.
In all seriousness, I'd like to consider my time with the Moultrie News as a success. It's not because of me, though. I can write and write and write, but if there's no one to read, what's the point?
Sure, I've received some emails and phone calls from people unhappy with an article I wrote or didn't write. In journalism, you expect that. Veterans of the business tell me, "At least they're reading."
I'm not a veteran by any means, but I've been writing for newspapers for a good amount of time. Of all the different audiences I've written to, you've allowed me to become the most connected. Over the past year and change, I've truly felt like I'm writing to be read by a knowledgeable and sincere audience.
Yes, the Moultrie News doesn't receive web traffic rivaling the New York Times, but that doesn't matter. Newspapers of any size should serve the community, and the little ol' Moultrie News has East Cooper's best interests in mind every day.
Thank you for everything. You will be missed.

Give Greyson Taylor a few rolls of duct tape and the possibilities are endless.
At the age of 10 Greyson came across videos showing wallets being made out of duct tape. He promptly grabbed a roll and tried his hand at making one and soon developed different designs and techniques of his own. After numerous requests for new designs by family and friends at school, he developed an ever-expanding line of duct tape products: wallets, braided and flat bracelets, checkbook and tablet covers, koozies, purses, bookmarks, roses, the list goes on.
Being the young entrepreneur he is, Greyson decided to make a business out of his hobby and began peddling his wares on the arts and crafts circuit under the Duct Tape Dude banner. His parents, Allen and Lisa Taylor, help with things such as logistics, travel and material purchase but Greyson makes all the products himself almost entirely of duct tape.
In April, for the first time, Duct Tape Dude will bring his craftsmanship back to the town where Greyson was born through a booth at this year's Flowertown Festival. There, he will offer a wide variety of products and prices, with a range from 50 cents to $25.
His crafts wear similar to leather or cloth products, but often hold up better in wet conditions. He even makes customize products, though that can take anywhere from15 minutes to a couple of hours depending on complexity.
"While there are thousands of kids making things every day out of duct tape, Greyson has refined his craft and continues to add new products," Allen Taylor said in an email message. "He also has created duct tape hats, jackolanterns, vases, and clothes. To help draw attention to his booth, he has created a life-size duct tape mannequin of himself and a booth sign made exclusively of duct tape."
The craftsman even once made a duct tape canoe that was successfully tested in a lake.

You'll want to read the Talisman first. That one is a great one also. I'm currently reading the Black House and I like how it's told. The story brings the reader into it. It is a good book.
Thoroughly enjoyed both of these books! I would also recommend reading The Talisman first but it is not absolutely necessary. Wolf remains one of my favorite all time characters from the mind of SK.
"God pounds His nails. Oh yes He does!"
I have read over thirty SK books so far (I am trying-- and failing-- to keep up with his prolific writing pace!) but no book has gotten to me the way Black House did. A lot of it has to do with the Charles Burnside character; I found him utterly repulsive and genuinely terrifying. It's worth reading the book just to see the masterful way this evil guy's persona is developed as the story unfolds. There are several other characters that linger in the mind long after the book ends-- Jack Sawyer, of course, that cool cat Henry Leyden, and several others as well. Even if you have never read The Talisman or The Dark Tower books, Black House stands well on its own as a good scary story.
I just finished Talisman and Black House recently and really enjoyed them. There is some great characters (Jack, WOLF!) and also the Bikers and even the creepy Charles Burnside...Its really a great read...and although Id rather read them in order the Talisman first, then Black House, you dont really need to, but if you do read them in order, you'll get a better sense of the characters.
Not bad. Pretty good in spots.
Henry Leyden is quite possibly my all-time favorite SK/PS character.
I *loved* Black House.
Case closed, game over; zip up your fly. :wink2:
Very good book. Read this one entirely at work over the course of a few months during slow periods.

Irrational Generosity
Last week I read a post from Terry Storch, Digerati Pastor at LifeChurch.tv and co-founder of YouVersion.com, discussing a new Church to Church team at LifeChurch.tv that will be focused on these values: We are all about the "capital C" Church! We will lead the way with irrational generosity. We are faith filled, big thinking, […] [Read More]

High school football teams can begin spring practice on Monday, starting their journeys for the 2014 season.
On Red Bank Road, Goose Creek High School coach Chuck Reedy said the Gators are aiming for the top of the mountain– again.
"Our expectations are very high and we embrace the fact that we are expected to compete for the championship every year," Reedy said.
Last season, the Gators were 12-0 before getting stunned in the second round of the Class AAAA playoffs by South Pointe.
"The way that last season ended was very disappointing," Reedy said, "but the work ethic exhibited by our players is the best that I have seen since the 2011 team. We have some outstanding returning players and are looking for some young players to step up."
GCHS last won the state title in 2011.
The Gators are slated to wrap up spring drills on May 21 with a scrimmage.
Reedy said he expects the Gators to be very explosive on offense again. Goose Creek has topped 2,500 points over the last four seasons, a total of 55 games.
The Gators have to replace Dantez Bennamon at quarterback but have 2013 backup Dominique Jefferson and West Ashley transfer Pedro Manigault waiting in the wings.
Running backs Caleb Kinlaw (Wisconsin) and Evan McField (The Citadel) have moved on too. Rising senior Tyrik Johnson returns after rushing for 1,147 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Speedy receiver Deondre' Daniels will be a senior. He had 34 grabs for 610 yards last season.
Defensively, rising senior linebacker K.J. Wood is the top tackler returning. He had 119 total stops. Outside linebacker Maurice Bonneau-Gaillard made 88 stops.
"Defensively, we are big and talented up front but need to find a couple linebackers," Reedy said.
• The Gators are currently selling ads for their football program to help raise money for the season-opening trip to Ohio.
Anyone interested can contact Reedy at (843) 797-0871.

another perfect gift from wine Country
By FG

I think that the portions of some contents should be somewhat larger. Also I wait until the last possible date waiting for a discount in shipping cost. I spend about $600.00 each year with Wine Country and 'Free shipping helps a lot

By Terry from USA on 2014-10-12 17:54:33Things I liked:I love the looks and style of this rifle. I just wish it were better built. It's pretty accurate with open sights but the plastic dovetail scope rails are really cheesy. The back rails point down a little so they do not align with the short front rail.
Things I would have changed:Quality control needs addressing. Just seems a bit cheaply built. Also improve the 11mm scope rails.
What others should know:I really tried to like this rifle but the example I was sent did not impress me much. Maybe buying a refurbished IZH 60 was not the way to go. Mine come with some missing parts, as did a refurbished IZH 61 earlier. Both were returned to Pyramid. I'll probably never get another of these guns. That being said, if you're looking for a great target rifle in this power/price range, the Daisy 953 is the the way to go. It is a fantastic airgun and it costs at least $30 less than either Baikal IZH models.

A 51-year-old Augusta man died after his motorcycle was struck by a vehicle that disregarded a traffic signal on Highway 1 on Tuesday, according to the Aiken County Coroner's Office.
The accident happened just 6:40 p.m., according to a statement.
Berry Playford, of Parkway Drive in Augusta, was traveling south on Highway 1 on his 2012 Honda motorcycle when a 2011 Dodge Charger traveling south on Old Aiken Road disregarded a traffic signal at the intersection of Old Aiken Road and Highway 1, according to the statement. The vehicle struck Playford's motorcycle.
The driver of the Charger was not injured, according to the statement. Playford was transported to Georgia Health Sciences University, where he died several hours later from multiple body trauma.
The crash remains under investigation by the S.C. Highway Patrol. Toxicology results are pending.

Inner housewife aside, there is nothing that brings out the child in me quite like homebaked cranberry muffins. Delicate cakey muffins, just sweet enough (but not too much), dotted with deep garnet berries that burst on the tongue in a clap of fruity tartness much like the anticipated yet unexpected clap of thunder that shivers the skies. I pull out that long-ago recipe learned in the Girl Scouts or junior high Home Ec, a recipe that made me utterly once and for all fall in love with baking. And succeeded in mortifying me, making me feel completely incompetent. You see, a recipe perfectly executed under the watchful eye of teacher or Scout leader, a treat so perfect that I wanted nothing more than to rush home and duplicate the recipe for my family, somehow got flipped and shuffled around in my soft and tender young head once on my own. That original recipe, still stuck away somewhere among my youthful jottings, scratched down in my loopy grade school cursive, called for three tablespoons of Crisco. Yes, you see it coming, don't you? By the time I gathered the ingredients and found a free afternoon to bake, in my eagerness and enthusiasm, overflowing with self-confidence, those three tablespoons became three cups.
I pulled the tin from the oven and, much to my horror and dismay, discovered tiny muffin tops floating in a sea of grease. Alas. The experience dampened my enthusiasm, much like the weather that rages outside my windows. My brother – the brother with whom I spent Sunday afternoons pulling taffy across the kitchen expanse or pouring boiling sesame-studded caramel into parchment-lined pans for candy, the brother with whom I baked my first yeast breads - peered at the mess over my shoulder and comforted me in his own brotherly way. He told me not to give up, he urged me to just start the whole project over again.
Over the years, I have reconstructed the recipe, searched and adapted new recipes and developed the one I now make every single winter season, come rain or come shine. Oddly enough, this is one treat that all three of my men, each one more persnickety than the next, absolutely love. The tender cake is not too sweet, and this one I kicked up with the fragrance of winter's orange. I added a handful or two of coarsely chopped pecans for the bite and doused the whole with a cinnamon-sugar topping just before sliding the tin into the oven. And once the scent of those homely, fabulous muffins fills the house, the men stop what they are doing and wander into the kitchen, expectations high. And we forget the rain and gloom, forget the endless chain of dreary days, forget the misery and boredom of being stuck inside the house, huddled together in front of the tv or laptops.
Makes 12 muffins
8 Tbs (115 g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200 g) sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
2 cups (260 g) flour
2 tsps baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup (125 ml) milk
1 ½ - 2 cups fresh cranberries, thawed if frozen
½ - 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Tbs sugar + 1 tsp ground cinnamon mixture for topping, optional
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-muffin tin with cupcake papers or grease them well.
Coarsely chop the pecans. Pick over the cranberries and discard any rotten berries; slice any large cranberries in half. Zest the orange.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Briefly beat or stir in the vanilla and the orange zest.
Stir the flour, baking powder and salt together. Add the dry ingredients into the creamed batter in 3 additions alternating with the milk added in 2: dry-wet-dry-wet-dry, beating briefly but well after each addition. Do not overbeat.
Using a large spatula, fold the cranberries and pecans into the batter until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups. Don't worry if they are mounded above the edge of the cups, this batter is firm enough that they will rise up and not spill over. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with the cinnamon-sugar mixture if desired.
Bake the muffins for 30 minutes until risen, the top golden; a tester inserted in the center of a muffin should come out clean. Remove from the oven and carefully lift each muffin out of the pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool. (Use a small sharp knife or kabob spike to lift them up out of the tin so as to avoid burning fingers)
